Wang Zheng had a routine lifestyle at the Elite Academy. Within the three big battle teams, he seemed to be the calmest and was in the public eye the most. He still went for classes when there were classes, ate supper when it was supper time. He was either super confident or he did not care much for winning or losing. Everyone thought that the latter was the more reliable explanation. Regardless of victory or defeat, both Saruman Snake and Wang Zheng were well-known to the public.
Rather than being anxious, he should be calmer and gain some good impressions.
Saruman Snake was very open and invited the Eagle battle team and the Star Lya battle team for a few rounds of friendly battles. It was confidential and only an internal competition.
No matter what, the benefits of closing the door to train on their own could not be compared to working with many other ideas. Anyway, to the outside world, they were seen as the weakest. Wang Zheng was also not concerned with the leak of the so-called secret battle tactics. In fact, on the contrary, he gained much help from Dendi and Pampas.
Humans were not almighty, nor were they gods. After a few rounds of friendly battles, Dendi and Pampas both gave very good suggestions. Putting down the burden of victory, the two of them seemed to be extra serious.
The most important thing was face.
To be honest, both Dendi and Pampas' battle teams' results belonged to the lower half category. Saruman Snake was still one of the three big battle teams. As long as a team could enter the final competition, they were of a high level. Even though the average students would boast among themselves their theories of various battle tactics, these were unlikely to impress anyone in the world of the powerful people.
At least Asura and Imperial Glory did not treat them seriously. But Wang Zheng was different. He was genuinely impressed and even admired them a little.
Honestly, even at Dendi and Pampas' level, people would be likely to be prideful or rather have the feeling of finding a confidant.
Given Wang Zheng's good attitude towards them, it would be unreasonable of them if they did not contribute anything meaningful.
Pampas and Dendi were the people who truly understood Marzu. After all, they were from the same batch. But actually, the two of them also knew that from the start that Marzu from their batch was like a lonely mountain peak. He had disappeared very quickly because his opponents in the academy were no challenge at all. He was the earliest to enter the Abyss in the previous batch. No one knew exactly what mission he had carried out.
Dendi and Pampas had exchanged blows with Marzu before. He was really a little like Olivios. He had terrifying physical techniques, but he was more lethal than Olivios. Olivios was brutal and resilient, but he lacked the suppressive powers of Marzu. As for Marzu's Ability X, he seemed to have a strength-type Ability X. But to be honest, no one believed that. Strength-types belonged to a lower class of Ability X. Obviously, this meant that Marzu did not need his full strength at all to handle everything.
While both Dendi and Pampas did not think that Saruman Snake had any chance of victory, humans were wise and could also fight an impressive battle. The process in itself was an extreme enjoyment.
At the start, they thought that Wang Zheng was just being polite. They did not expect to become friends after a few days together. Wang Zheng's ability was shocking, especially his physical cultivation. However, he was very supportive of tactical theories. This was very rare.
While it was the eve of the big battle, Huiyin was doing whatever she wanted. She had to chat with Wang Zheng every day, even if it was just a few sentences. Perhaps she was inspired by the atmosphere of the big battle and was preparing to write a song for the Greatest King.
Aina disappeared after that accidental intimate moment. It seemed like she was purposely keeping a distance from Wang Zheng. Even Huiyin could sense it and asked Wang Zheng if he had done something to her sister. To this, Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. If one were to truly talk about what he had done, other than completing the last step, he had done whatever could be done.
Contradiction was not only at Aina's side. It was the same for Wang Zheng. He thought of Ye Zisu, Yan Xiaosu, and the others, as well as the clash between his relationship and Kashawen's threat. The Wang Zheng now had changed a lot from the high school Wang Zheng at that time. He had grown a lot. and the feeling he had when meeting Aina at that time and meeting her again this time was different.
In Wang Zheng's heart, he still thought that the purest and sincerest emotions he had at that time could perhaps never be repeated. This was because Wang Zheng could never return to that time when he was 16 years old. Thinking about that still brought warmth to Wang Zheng's heart.
He wanted to solve all these things. Previously, reality had proven that it was a failure to have Aina carry all the burden alone. The problem was not on Aina but on him.
This determination could only be hidden in his heart. A man had to become stronger.
Reality proved that if men were not tough towards themselves, then other men, or even women, would be tougher towards them.
The Greatest King Competition was just the first step. He wanted to put himself in a sensitive position. The more he challenged himself, the more chances he would have. As long as he was not dead, he would stand again and take a step forward.
This way, he would be nearer to Aina by a step. When Aina instinctively held Wang Zheng's hand, when that warm little hand was shivering, Wang Zheng's heart shivered as well.
Except when Wang Zheng was trying his best to walk towards Aina, he was moving further from another person.
The Milky Way Galaxy Military College, this was the school on par with Elite Academy X. It was a school that was directly affiliated with the Milky Way Alliance. It had gained attention together with the Elite Academy X. They had a different situation from the excited atmosphere at Elite Academy X. The Milky Way Military College was still quietly floating in the universe.
At the moment, the Milky Way Military College was one of the main departments carrying out the exploration project. Once the scientists had confirmed a direction, they would start their mission.
This type of mission could take a long or short time. It had a certain level of danger. Students had to voluntarily sign up. Unless they had genes with the extreme desire for risk in their bones, no one would want to go.
Of course, youngsters were easier to rally. Except the project this time was different. Icy beauty Meng Tian had taken the initiative to join in. This excited many students.
This lightweight space team would travel through three unknown star territories and build a teleportation portal. This was the mission for the first phase. It would take at least a year's time and also meant that it would be a beautiful chance to be alone with each other. In the lonely space, there was always a chance for passion to be sparked.
In the days after Aina had left, Meng Tian gradually defeated all her opponents in the Milky Way Galaxy Military College. Meng Tian's coldness was not piercing. It was a type of self-protection. It roused people's desire to provide warmth. Her Ability X was the rare ice world.
This was a product of amalgamation between some type of amazing transparency ability and the personal attribute of the ability user. To illustrate, the usual Ability X was on the molecular level, but her Ability X had entered the atomic level. This was not a direct battle power, but on the control of a battleship, her spiritual analysis and logic would be many times sharper than that of other commanders. Her predictive and judgment abilities would only be stronger. She would hardly make mistakes thanks to the attribute of ice.
Of course, these were not the main points. The main point was beauty!
She radiated a type of coldness that carried a hint of warmth within. People could not help but want to tear off that icy cold exterior.
The school was also surprised that Meng Tian had voluntarily joined this project. Meng Tian's father, Meng Ao, was currently in charge of the military affairs of the Solar System. This meant that there had to be some political considerations when Meng Tian was carrying out some dangerous or long term missions. The school was more careful with the safety considerations especially after that incident with Aina. Hence, at the very beginning, Meng Tian was excluded from the project. No one had expected Meng Tian to take the initiative and ask to join. This also instantly solve the problem of igniting the enthusiasm of the students.
Because of her excellent results and also because she had already signed the agreement to join the Milky Way Alliance Army after graduating, Meng Tian had already gained the position of lieutenant. From the start of the military school, she was considered to have started serving her military term.
No one had seen Meng Tian excited before. The army on land needed passion, but as a future ship captain, she would never need passion. Other than calmness, what she needed was still calmness.
Everyone needed to rest. They all needed entertainment and relaxed times. While Meng Tian could coordinate with anyone during training, she preferred to be alone reading or listening to music when resting. She seemed to be thinking of something. Her admirer had by chance managed to capture a photo of Meng Tian smiling through his Skylink.
At that moment, Meng Tian was listening to something and seemed to have thought of something warm and happy, and let out the slightest smile.
At that instant, it was as though the thousand-year-old ice mountain melted. This photo was uploaded onto the Milky Way Galaxy Military College, and it instantly excited the whole college.
Everyone was guessing what it was or perhaps who it was that could melt the ice goddess.
But no one knew. Even if a girl was cold, she would usually have at least a best friend or someone. It was as though this was a must in the girls' world. But Meng Tian did not need such people.
Training and learning filled her life. It also made many people curious about the reason she needed to work so hard.
