Tempest of the Stellar War

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Cheers!

Dream Paradise. The largest box had been reserved way in advance by Ai Xiaolu, just for Wang Zheng’s celebration.

Nobody would have thought that Wang Zheng would actually win this competition, besides Wang Zheng himself and a certain ‘uninvited guest’. Lin Huiyin’s presence forced some civility into the guys, although their enthusiasm could not be checked.

Wang Zheng had won the most important competition in the Elite Academy. Naturally, he should celebrate heartily. And this was also a celebration that he had narrowly escaped death. Not everybody came back alive from the Abyss.

Huiyin sang of her own accord, leading them all in a chorus. Zhang Shan and the other fans gave flowers, which Huiyin happily accepted.

Eisen, Majgull and the other friends were stunned. From the moment Huiyin appeared, they felt like they were in a dream. Wang Zheng was really a god. His win and his survival was like floating clouds in front of Princess Huiyin.

As a result, Wang Zheng shrank into non-existence. Everyone wanted to sing in front of Huiyin. The atmosphere was lively.

While celebrations were ongoing here, the other side was raining ice and fire. Luo Fei was like a elementary school kid who had done wrong. In just a short while, this guy had lost more than 10 million. While this was neither off the charts, it was not insignificant, and such behavior definitely needed reprimanding. Most importantly, Lear had already been in a bad mood.

“Luo Fei!”

“Boss, I know I’m wrong. I won’t dare to do it again.” Luo Fei did not dare to raise his head. The loan sharks were after his life now. After all, he was somebody in school as well. If he did not pay his debts, then he could not even step out the door.

Lear looked at Luo Fei, a little disappointed that he had not turned out better. This guy… Take Zhang Shan as an example. His talent was lacking compared to Luo Fei, but his sheer effort had turned into visible improvement, and his enthusiasm was hard to ignore. But Luo Fei… that fatty only thought of how to slack off daily.

Finally, without saying a single word, Lear threw down a card.

When Luo Fei raised his head, Lear had already left. Looking at the card on the table, and Lear’s retreating profile, Luo Fei felt downcast as well.

He knew that Wang Zheng’s performance had added more pressure on Lear.

The Arbiter brothers were different. They did not have the slightest shred of emotion that was normal between brothers.

“You chose a good target.” Marzu said.

Olivios mulled over it for a while. “To beat him, I need to improve greatly. At that time, you and I will fight for supremacy, and for life.”

Marzu smiled. “I’ll wait for that day to come. It seems like you are fated to die by my hand.”

In his smile, Marzu showed his growing pride.

The strange pair of brothers separated. Olivios glanced up at the darkening sky. In his mind, he was still picturing Wang Zheng’s move. The combination of ice and fire. If he did not guess wrong, he had used the energy produced at the instant when ice and fire combined. Under normal circumstances it would explode, but right before the explosion, he had dispersed the energy outwards. Put simply, he had utilized the energy from the combination itself. Such a technique must have left Jiang Feng jumping with joy.

Everybody said that Wang Zheng’s strength lay in physical skills. But Olivios knew that such a person would not simply train one aspect. Only, his opponents had not been strong enough, and were unsuitable targets for his true strength.

Olivios could feel his blood boiling. Stronger. He must become stronger.

A valiant physique, balanced ability, and fatal attacks. Each must be honed to the peak for him to succeed!

On the night of the celebration, Wang Zheng had been carried back by Zhang Shan and Majgull. Poor Wang Zheng had been forced to drink by Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei. Wang Zheng’s own liquor tolerance was excellent. As his constitution rose, his drinking ability naturally rose as well. But there was always a higher mountain, always a stronger person. The girls of the Hail Cloud Alliance had a formidable tolerance as well. Those in the know knew that when the girls of the Hail Cloud Alliance invited you to drink, then the rest would just cower.

Of course, Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei drank heavily too. A guy like Wang Zheng naturally attracted the girls. If it was not that a certain someone was present, something might have happened.

In the lively mood, Lin Huiyin always appeared at the crucial moment to break things up. The initially happy mood was constantly interrupted. But no matter what, Huiyin’s cuteness was undeniable.

Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei could do nothing as well. They had lost this silent battle from the start.

Zhang Shan and the rest had drunk a fair amount as well. Ai Xiaolu and her friends wanted Snow Li to send Wang Zheng back, but Huiyin foiled that as well. Zhang Shan and Majgull, upon hearing that the Princess had a request, rushed up to fulfil it. They could not be rejected.

Seeing Huiyin’s smile, Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei could do nothing as well. They had gone to great efforts to organize the night, including the food, drink, and entertainment to set up a good chance for Snow Li. There was a saying on Earth that the happiest times were when one met a lover and when one had made a great accomplishment. After a big battle, Wang Zheng’s entire person was electrified with happiness. At this time, his male charms were unstoppable, only matched by Snow Li’s own unstoppable charms. This was such a good opportunity to turn into a great story.

But…

On the way back, the Princess was very happy. Luckily she had come, otherwise who knew what would have happened. Girls today were so bold.

But Angela breathed a sigh of relief. From what she saw, Huiyin simply held a liking and a desire to protect that grew from Aina.

May all the gods protect her.

The four, including Lie Xin and Achilles, had their own small gathering as well. This battle had already drawn the distance further. Achilles was still doing fine. After all, he had met Marzu, the number 1 in the college. The difficulty level was too high, and Achilles did not play riskily. Just as Jiang Feng said, this was just a competition, and not some major battle.

But the Martians had indeed fallen off. Lie Xin’s performance was by no means good, although she was not completely to blame. Girls were naturally slightly weaker in mecha battles. In comparison, they were more suited to operate warships.

The Lie family was an exception. The Lie Flame Technique was after all for battle. It was a pity that Lie Xin was not a guy. If she was, things would be completely different.

As for Lie Guang, he was not even worth mentioning. He was already far behind, not even on Zhang Shan’s level. The competition here was too intense. In the Solar System he could still stand out, but here he quickly fell into the crowd. It was not that he did not work hard, but there was simply too much for him to catch up on, and he could not keep up.

Although Zhang Shan had poor foundations, but his talent was undeniable. He had a knack for picking things up quickly. Things that required thorough understanding had people stuck for months or years. He blazed past these without much effort or time. Besides, following Wang Zheng, his mental state was always on high. It would be difficult to not want to get better.

A ferocious tiger accompanied by a lamb. Even the lamb would become aggressive.

Milo’s situation was about the same. In terms of battling, she could not keep up. But as Achilles’ assistant, she had done plenty of work in other aspects. This was after all Milo’s usefulness. And Elite Academy had related specializations. Besides fighting, there were also support jobs.

But Lie Guang could not be a support. A support needed to study even more complicated content that he was completely unsuited for.

Wang Zheng and Lear’s showing had indeed spurred Lie Xin, but she could not do anything about it. Although their relationship was not bad, even Achilles could not do anything. In terms of improving her arts, Lie Xin was not good enough. It could only be said that the Lie Flame Technique did not suit girls, and Lie Guang was simply untalented.

“It looks like the Lie people are anxious.” Milo said softly.

“Lie Flame Technique is one of the top cultivation techniques in the Solar System. It is in no way inferior to my own Heavenly King Arts. Besides, the Sage Sect’s presence means there should be even less problems. Theoretically, they should be ahead of us.” Achilles understood Lie Xin well. They had started together, and competed together. But now she was slipping further and further behind.

“Lie Guang is rather weak as well. I heard that he’s not actually from the Lie family.” Milo felt a little embarrassed as well. Perhaps the Lie family had considered this as well. Too bad Lie Xin was a girl.

Achilles smiled slightly. “These are Lie family matters. It does not concern us.”

“Lear wants to talk to you. Are you going?” Milo asked.

Achilles smiled. “How do you see it?”

“Lear is bold and meticulous, and daring. His ability goes without saying, and his family’s influence is great as well. Ever since he entered Elite Academy, all of the Black Tortoise Professors like him. His flattery skills are superb as well.” Milo said.

“Oh, that’s indeed true.” Achilles understood Milo’s meaning.

Milo suddenly laughed, revealing a set of pearly-white teeth. “It is not a problem to have great ambition. The problem is that with one slip-up, he might sell you out.”

“Haha, if that was not the case, then that would not be Lear. It’s not the first day we know him. What do you think of Luo Fei?”

“Luo Fei? That fatty?” Milo had no idea why Achilles would mention that person. She had almost forgotten him. “I’m not sure why Lear spends so much effort on that guy. He can’t be just good at bootlicking.”

Achilles nodded. “Although we don’t click that well with Lear, but he’s not an enemy. Besides, he’s not the superficial kind. But we of the Moon must find our own way.”

Even if there was a rising opportunity, those of the Moon were no longer willing to play second fiddle to the Earthlings!

After the competition had ended, the school returned to a normal state of studying. Of course, reputation had been reshuffled accordingly. This competition had unearthed many pros, and those that were normally low-profile had suddenly shot to fame. But class was still class. In the Elite Academy, people did not chase fame. Everybody had the chance to stand at the top. This was simply a beginning.

Wang Zheng, Lear and the rest knew this as well. Besides normal classes, they also participated in mecha design. A custom model was indeed not to be taken lightly.

Everyone had expected a new name to be added to the previous top 4. No one had expected for three dark horses to rush ahead and eliminate two of the original four.
