Tempest of the Stellar War

In the test room, Wang Zheng’s face was drained of all color, while in the spiritual world, he could not stand anymore.

Everything was useless. Even if he had the strength, there was no avenue to use it. He had no idea what the problem was, nor how to deal with it.

The land was barren. This was the element of Earth. Why did this have to come out? He completely did not understand Earth element!

Barren land, barren land… Why barren?

Wang Zheng’s statistics continued to decline. The alarm had already begun to ring. Only Lin Hong and Jiang Feng could stop this test, but in truth, only the team would decide. Lin Hong was the facilitator, and he should not interfere.

The numbers continued to fall. 5, 8, 0.

The participants who had finished the test were watching on as well. Lear was frowning, while everyone else was relaxed. Only Lear felt like something was wrong. What was that damned Wang Zheng playing at? His physical and mental ability were undoubtedly strong. He could not possibly fail a test like this, unless he was up to something.

Actually, there was a difference between Wang Zheng and the rest.

Each testee had entered telling themselves that this was a test, and they had to control themselves well. But Wang Zheng had entered seeing if he could be wholly tested, and if he could make a breakthrough. This was a trial that had to be faced seriously.

The test would naturally react to one’s subconscious. Out of Wang Zheng’s Five Elements, his Earth and Metal were weakest.

Some laughed, some brooded. Evidently, no one had expected that their strongest opponent was about to be eliminated in the first round. This was too ridiculous.

They were not taking pleasure in his pain per se. But as an opponent, there was a curious joy.

Lear stared unblinkingly as the numbers changed on the screen. They were about to hit the bottom, and the bottom meant death. But Lear did not believe that Wang Zheng would die here. This had to be his trick, some trick!

Di Maria was about to die from joy. If Wang Zheng lost just like that, the championship was virtually his.

Metal begets Water. Water begets Wood. Wood begets Fire. Fire begets Earth. Earth begets Metal.

Fire begets Earth!

Suddenly, Wang Zheng’s mind cleared. Fire brings forth Earth!

At that moment, Wang Zheng’s spirit had already entered an empty state. At his lowest, he had found his true state.

His mastery of Fire ability was mature. The way that the Five Elements complemented and conflicted with each other was not something that the physical world could see. It was a feeling.

And that instant of comprehension would last forever.

Jiang Feng naturally could not watch Wang Zheng die before his very eyes. Just as he was about to stop it, the numbers changed.

Just as the mental energy was about to hit rock bottom, it suddenly shot up like a rocket. Shing shing shing, it broke 50… 60… 70… 80… 85…

The deficiencies of Earth was not something that Water could replenish. It was the power of fire.

Fire brings forth Earth. The power of Earth becomes vigorous. Wave after wave of power surged into him through his feet. In that instant, Wang Zheng felt like he could move the heavens and earth themselves.

Earth begets Metal!

BOOM!

Today, I will rend. This earth, I cleave!

The power of keen metal!

Wang Zheng’s fist thundered out, and the earth fissured. Following that, Wang Zheng’s single punch blew through the air. RUMBLE…

This was a true punch!

Metal begets Water!

Fearsome Frost energy materialized in an instant. Even time itself was frozen. Frost ability was Wang Zheng’s most familiar, a boon from Meng Tian, and also that which Wang Zheng understood the most thoroughly among the five affinities.

Outside, Peak 90, Tenacity 95, Connectivity 90.

Both inside and outside, there was no sound. F*ck, what was going on?

Was he playing a prank?

A wave of chatter began in the hall. The generals were discussing, heads bent. How could this happen?

Jiang Feng also did not know what tricks this boy was up to. Wang Zheng was clearly not a prankster. He must have met with something, and then used the opportunity to better himself.

Lear’s eyes flashed. He knew that this would happen. This guy was like a cockroach. Even if he was going to die, he would not die here.

Water begets Earth!

Life’s moisture, that complemented the rest. Within the Wood element, Wind was Wang Zheng’s domain. The fury of a tempest had unstoppable power, but the finesse of wind, the warmth of wind, the life of wind…

Wood begets Fire!

Wang Zheng had finally completed his first mini-orbit of the Five Elements!

Although his Metal and Earth were weaker, the affinities complemented one another. This was a world of difference from the rupture.

Boom…

In front of Wang Zheng’s eyes was a world completely brimming with life. This was the domain of the Five Elements.

He had finally entered it.

Wang Zheng was in, but the outside world was out of their minds.

Peak 99, Tenacity 99, Connectivity 99.

Having finished his orbit of the Five Elements, Wang Zheng was engrossed in the subliminities of the world. He was wary of being disturbed. What he needed to do was firmly fix this sensation in his mind. And because the workers needed this figure to hold constant for five minutes, nobody bothered him. And that made him. If he were to be roused during this time, the effect would be a severe penalty, and he might even be injured.

In the five minutes, everyone else was ambivalent. This numbers sat like a mountain on their heads. Perhaps the numbers did not mean much, but the key was that they had been celebrating just now.

It has to be said that Wang Zheng had successfully drawn more hate. He became the number one target for many.

Lin Hong stared open-mouthed at the figure. Impossible!

Forget 99, he had let the Aslan top brass set each number at 100, but no one could reach 99. Although those like Qiqin were strong,sub-90 and over-90 were completely different notions. And achieving 99 in all three aspects was something else altogether.

How was this possible? Humans should not be able to reach such perfection in peak power, tenacity, and connectivity, unless they were machines.

Could the machine be malfunctioning? Now it was Lin Hong’s turn to doubt. But a pity that Wang Zheng was not his experimental subject. As long as the numbers were fine, Wang Zheng would pass.

Everyone could see not only their numbers, but also those of others. Of course, some had never seen these before, but they already had a rough sense.

“This punk Wang Zheng is really going to surprise us.” Bolet laughed. “I like this kid.”

Back then at IG, Lieutenant General Bolet had favored Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng’s unearthing had brought the name of Golden Wheel Battle King to the world. And now everyone only remembered the Golden Wheel Battle King, but who still recalled the person who had re-discovered it?

“In the last IG, he could not reach the end. This time, I want to see how far he can go.”

Wang Zheng’s performance had awakened many memories. Back then, he was the leader of callow youths at IG. It was fresh in their minds now. After so much time, it looked like this youngster from Earth had lost none of his touch.

The equipment on Wang Zheng’s body was freed. He opened his eyes, and some static flicked out. The official in charge stepped back involuntarily. Wang Zheng smiled slightly. The awesome aura he had just realized just vanished.

“Thank you. Did I pass?” Wang Zheng rotated his wrists.

The official nodded dumbly. After Wang Zheng left, he would discover that he was completely soaked.

The door opened. Wang Zheng found out that the other 127 had already left. All 127 pairs of eyes were trained on Wang Zheng. Their eyes were filled with words, disbelief, and enmity.

The screen refreshed. Everyone began to look for their own team’s scores. It successively appeared. For those with more members, the elimination rate for average members was extremely high. Even at this level, the reserves were mostly eliminated. It seemed like even before they began, many could already start to enjoy their Aslan holiday.

Wang Zheng looked at his own Saruman Snake battle team. Achilles, Lie Xin, Mu Zhen, Zhang Shan, Snow Li, and Vincent had passed, but Takumi and Aoli had been eliminated. This was a surprise. But at least they still maintained a complete line-up.

Others were assessing their own teams as well. Presently, 15 teams had been eliminated. 10 because of their leader, and another five because they lacked members.

But it was not as though Wang Zheng felt no pressure. The compilation of results was extremely quick. Although Wang Zheng had displayed godlike potential, Saruman Snake’s overall score was not even in the top 10.

The Aslan Empire’s two teams occupied first and second. Closely following was Arbiter’s two teams. In fifth place was Elite Academy X’s Asura Battle Team. That was the current top five.

Many breathed a sigh of relief. They finally understood where the problem with Saruman Snake was. As the captain, the distance between Wang Zheng and his members was huge.

As long as they dealt with Wang Zheng, Saruman Snake was nothing. Of course, this dealing would not be in idiotic ways like Mossi Team’s Sabi had tried.
