Tempest of the Stellar War

Wang Zheng stood there. This knife wound had opened again, but that was no longer important.

Wang Zheng looked at Jondi Lilick and Qiqin Nacchai. Manalasuo and Lya Sphinx. And a whole crowd’s hungry eyes behind. Perhaps today would be the end. But he would let Kashawen know that this meant nothing.

“Are you coming all together, or one by one?” Wang Zheng said. His voice was even, and his knife steady.

Jondi Lilick, as a Manalasuo person, liked this guy. Besides that he was soft, he was basically the perfect opponent. But how much did he have left? 30%? 50%?

If it were not for Aina, he would have been unwilling to fight under such circumstances. But he knew that this was no time to be naive. He had passed that age. But it was not very honorable to fight now.

“Jondi, how about leaving this one to me?” Qiqin Nacchai suddenly spoke. He had seen the doubt in Jondi’s eyes. He understood Jondi Lilick’s mind. When he was in his twenties, he had been the same way. Of course, he had long shed such childish thinking.

It could be called heroic, but it was actually stupid and suicidal. Doomed was doomed, and he might as well take the credit.

Jondi Lilick knew Qiqin Nacchai’s intention. He would gain favor, and could also sit this one out. He understood.

Jondi Lilick smiled slightly. “Since Brother Nacchai has intentions, I’ll spectate.”

Qiqin Nacchai looked around. No one would object. Even a pig would be hiding right now.

Although Wang Zheng was clearly at a big disadvantage, not just anybody could reap it.

Qiqin Nacchai was said to be in the top 200 X leaderboards. His exact ranking was unclear, but any who could enter this position was already a legend.

Even among the elites, not many had seen such a pro. The X leaderboards was not just about school evaluations. One had to have sufficient battle results, and this was not about how many enemies defeated, but also included missions of extreme difficulty, sufficiently awesome opponents, and the accumulation of the above.

Qiqin Nacchai, like González, should not be at SIG. And Qiqin Nacchai was even stronger than González. Lya Sphinx was aiming high for this SIG. Qiqin Nacchai obviously knew the burden of the mission he had been entrusted with.

His first move would be Wang Zheng. If Jondi Lilick was the one to act, he would have missed his chance.

Bolet breathed a sigh of relief. Jondi Lilick was his pride and the empire’s future. He was not weaker than Lin Feng, and this was not a good time to act. Luckily, Qiqin Nacchai had stepped in. These guys did not understand Wang Zheng. Bolet felt like he saw clearer than they did. This was not just a matter of age, but also the experience of years.

All these years, he had not someone as tenacious as Wang Zheng. What made him so tough? During IG, he was the same, soloing the worms and holding out till the end. Unless such a person died, one could not drop one’s guard in the slightest. A pity that he could not tell these words of caution to the members. They would not believe him anyway.

Wang Zheng’s character came once in a hundred years. But such a person was prone to a premature end. No one was invincible, and taking on Kashawen before he was mature was not smart.

Everyone present felt a little embarrassed and regretful. Many were also relaxed, because they knew that Wang Zheng would not live past this day.

Before they knew it, a glimmer of light had come back into the sky, although it was still far from daylight.

On island B, the penned “fat sheep” plan had met with a great setback.

Shing, shing, shing…

A volley of blow darts fired, and some were hit and immediately pierced through, letting out shrieks.

Everyone immediately dispersed, but the ground suddenly shook. They were hung in the air by their legs. Shing, shing, shing…

Another three blow darts flew. Only those with quick reactions opened their energy shields and saved their lives.

Those chasing Mu Zhen halted. When had this trap been made???

By their reckoning, the Tita people were simple-minded, four-legged primitives who charged mindlessly ahead with their crude weapons. But now they realized that they were the dumb ones.

At that moment, Mu Zhen was shaving a blowgun with experience. All Tita soldiers were experts in this regard, and now, with the human-made advanced titanium blades, it was almost too easy. Giants were big, but not stupid. Their hands were very agile, and Mu Zhen’s human blood made him even more clever. Without Ability X, and with hot weapons, the Tita people were the kings of the jungle.

Mother Nature was home, and every blade of grass and tree was an ally. Mu Sen had an army at his command. Coming here, he remembered Mu Sen’s words to him. The human world was even more dangerous, which was why he needed to be braver. He was the first warrior to venture out representing the Tita people. Do not shy from challenges, and do not fear the unknown. That was a warrior’s glory.

In the name of a brave, fight!

Mu Zhen had used the most difficult challenge among Tita warriors. When a tribe chased a single person, and that Tita warrior lived, then he would not only take the name of a brave, but could also conquer that tribe. This was the Tita people’s way of deciding a battle.

And now there was no difference, just a different opponent!

The laser rang out, and Mu Zhen agilely dived into the jungle. The trees were his best defense, and he had even fashioned a small, wooden shield for emergencies. In the dark, Mu Zhen’s eyes gleamed. The tough got going when the going got tough. If the enemies wanted to forgo rest, that would be the time he struck.

This was something that no one had anticipated. A demon had actually appeared on island B to throw things into confusion. And this battle had let the Tita people move towards the Milky Way Alliance stage for real. Tita Star was seen as a small fish in battle, and many big countries slighted it. But here at SIG, it was a completely different matter.

Without Ability X and weapons of mass destruction, it seemed like humankind’s ability to wage war was far inferior to the Tita people’s.

Actually, they had to thank the Lan family and Mu Sen. The Tita people’s methods of war did not develop suddenly, but was gradual progress over decades. Mu Sen had used his own influence to shape the Tita people, and research the best tactics of humankind. He had combined the Tita people’s formidable will to survive with their affinity for nature, and created the mighty fighting skills that the Tita people had today.

The casualties on island B were very high, especially in a few zones. Mu Zhen was one zone, and Zhang Shan was another.

Zhang Shan was not sleeping too well. F*ck, where had everybody gone? Were they all dead?

Or was he too awesome at hiding? There wasn’t even a bird left around.

It felt like all was quiet, and Zhang Shan gingerly climbed out… There wasn’t a single hair around. What the hell?

After making a quick round, besides a discarded supply bag, he had not found any other enemy. This luck was so good, it made Zhang Shan panicky. More accurately, others had gone elsewhere. Island B had a few main battlegrounds, and his luck had held and he had tided through the tough times.

Assessing his own ability, Zhang Shan decided not to risk it. One had to be prudent, and keeping his cool at the critical moment was the most important. First, pass the qualifiers, then they would see at the main competition.

Since this place was so good, he would not move. There was food and drink, and a lack of exercise. After a month, he could grow fat…
