Tempest of the Stellar War

Time waits for no man. When Tentacles had returned, Wang Zheng had practised the 16 Point Blade Technique once. The 16 Point Blade Technique was only a little broader than the 8 Point. By corroborating it with the Primordial Regression Technique, it was much easier to understand. Obviously, it would still take some time to fully understand it.

Although Xiao Fei had said that she wasn’t in a hurry, Wang Zheng knew that it would be better to get the funding as soon as possible.

Tentacles had handed the life and death card to Wang Zheng and said,”Brother Charcoal, are you really going to use it?”

“Of course,” replied Wang Zheng. Tentacless had reminded him of anything that had to be reminded. As for the rest, he just had to leave it to chance.

Wang Zheng used the life and death card enthusiastically. Within the duels of the Acolytes’ level, there was a new life and death match.

Let’s set it as a hundred thousand for a match. If it was too expensive, he would have scared the people away.

Wang Zheng waited for 15 minutes but no one was interested.

“What’s up with the situation?” asked Wang Zheng.

Tentacless wanted to say something but stopped.

Tentacles dry coughed a few time and said,”The majority of the people on the Acolytes’ level are usually more cautious. Moreover, there was a life and death match trap in the past. Therefore…”

Tentacles was thinking in his heart. Was he eager to look for death. He had not expected Charcoal to be in such a rush that he wanted to start a life and death match when he just arrived on the Acolytes’ level. In fact, he had ways to publicise this matter. It was just that his residual conscience was stopping him. The trade had been completed. It was enough for him to just do this much.

Wang Zheng was also feeling helpless. Who would come and mess with the life and death match that required payment if there were normal duels. Just waiting liked this wouldn’t be a solution. Wang Zheng decided to practise for a while. He had felt that there was nothing difficult about the 16 Point Blade Technique. However the thing about Cultivation Techniques was that practice makes perfect. It was only after practising for some time that one could understand the details. This was about the level of attainment.

Tentacles had also gone and started his own trial. Moreover, he had just received a sum of remuneration and the Tempest Cultivation Technique. He couldn’t wait to verify it. The attraction of the Cultivation Technique was too strong. It was especially so for this set of Cultivation Technique as it was really suitable for him. It wouldn’t be easy for any organization to get their hands on this Cultivation Technique. How could he possibly have the means to get it by himself.

Therefore, when the Shadow Organisation took this out, the temptation was something he couldn’t resist. He only hoped that Wang Zheng wasn’t being too serious and would stop after trying for a while.

At the Acolytes’ level, Lear and Luo Fei had already arrived. The set up was almost completed. Moreover, Lear had got into contact with one of the 5 Saints through the Shadow Organisation and the plan was going on smoothly. He also had some clues to the Ares Art that he wanted to practice. The decision to inject capital into the Shadow Organisation was truly a wise move.

Luo Fei, who was at a side, was trying to bootlick with much enthusiasm.

Lear never acknowledged Luo Fei. “How was it?”

Luo Fei was taken ahead and his fat face immediately smiled. “Everything is under the boss’ control. Wang Zheng has started the life and death match.

“Oh. He was rather decisive!”

“This brat trusted people easily. Who could have thought that Tentacles could be bribed so easily?” said Luo Fei.

Lear’s gaze was a little cold. He had long seen through the personalities of humans. The only things that were worth trusting would be the authority one had in their hands and their own strength. Only these would not betray him.

“How many matches has he fought?” asked Lear nonchalantly. With Wang Zheng’s strength, the possibility of defeating him in a short while was extremely low. However, he was too anxious after just entering the Acolytes’ level. He had also underestimated this world.

“It seems that… no fights have started.” The fatty stammered.

Lear took a glance at the fatty coldly. “Why didn’t you say so?”

The fatty was stunned and scratched his head. “I thought it wasn’t urgent.”

Lear almost lost it but calmed down. “We can’t give him time. Go and tell the Shadow Organisation and let them spread the news immediately. Just spread that he is a candidate to become the Saint Master and has the opportunity for the trial to become one of the Saints. Anyone who can defeat him in the life and death match would obtain everything he has and become a candidate to become the Saint Master.

“Boss, would anyone believe it?”

“He was the one who had received the opportunity to go through the trial to become a Saints at the Disciples’ level and broken the record of the fifth Saints, Mu. He was also the one who had created a scene with consecutive victories. Do you think that others would believe it?”

“But, wouldn’t this scare the people away?”

“He has just entered the Acolytes’ level,” said Lear calmly. He didn’t say anything else. The risks weren’t high but the rewards were great. As long as the requirements set by Wang Zheng weren’t too unreasonable, there would be endless number of people who would want to give it a try.

To sum up, this was the world of the poor. Only the poor would do such things for money.

“Boss is brilliant. Wang Zheng would not be able to escape this disaster.” The fatty immediately followed up with his bootlicking.

Lear took a look at the fatty coldly and said, “I know about the little things you had in mind. I would forgive you this time for the sake that you value friendship. There wouldn’t be a second time.”

Fatty didn’t dare to retort. Deep in his heart, he believed that Wang Zheng was someone who had a strong sense of justice. This was also the case even when he was in the enemies’ place.

“You might have avoided the death penalty but you still have to be punished. No food for you for the next 3 days.”

The fatty’s face immediately froze and started to wail. This was truly equivalent to wanting his life…

A smirk appeared on the face of Lear. He would want to see how Wang Zheng could get out of the situation this time. The life and death match was no longer the focus. Even if Wang Zheng was to stop halfway, it would be useless. When there were 3 or more people saying the same things, others would believe it. When everyone believed that he was a candidate to become the Saint Master, his catastrophe would also have started. Even the 5 Saints would not let him off.

What a good show it would be. Now it was time to see how long Wang Zheng could last.

When he was young, Lear had understood one thing. Those who used their brains would lead people while those that only used their brawn would be controlled by people.

Wang Zheng wasn’t as complicated as Lear. During the days that he was waiting, he had practised the 8 Point and 16 Point Blade Technique several times more.

A hero was helpless in the face of a small problem. He had even promised Professor Xiao Fei about it. Therefore, he had to do his best. Wang Zheng still wanted to know what kind of rewards Xiao Fei would give to him.

Could it be…

Wang Zheng had imagined some sexy scenes. He was no longer just a brat. If Xiao Fei was to bully him again in these ways, he would not be courteous about it.

Another hour had passed. There should finally be someone who would face him.

Wang Zheng opened his own life and death match…

Damn, what was this situation???

There were over a hundred people who had accepted his life and death match.

Oh damn, he would be rich!!!

Wang Zheng immediately opened his skills tab and entered his own life and death match.

There was a huge commotion brewing in the Acolytes’ level. Some well-informed channels had news that there was someone named Charcoal had just entered the Acolytes’ level and he was a candidate to become the Saint Master. The emphasis was on the candidacy to become the Saint Master and not a Saint. Behind it was a list of his achievement. Obviously, there was a line that wasn’t eye-catching. It was about Wang Zheng obtaining the 16 Point Blade Technique after just arriving at the Acolytes’ level.

This would mean that this person had not obtained an exceptionally strong Cultivation Technique. He might not have even mastered the 16 Point Blade Technique!

Why would he start a life and death match?

Damn, he was a candidate to become the Saint Master. Didn’t everyone said that before the heaven bestowed huge responsibilities on someone, he would undergo various trials. This was his way of training himself.

Similarly, this was a great opportunity for everyone!

Considering that the life and death match would only cost one hundred thousand, there wasn’t much that they would lose.

Moreover Wang Zheng had created quite a fuss at the Disciples’ level. Although the people in the Acolytes’ level weren’t too concerned about the Disciples’ level, they had all heard of this name and this was enough for them.

What was most scary about rumours were that some of them was true while the rest was false. One wouldn’t be able to differentiate the truth from the false things.

Wang Zheng chose an opponent casually. His name was rather nice, “Wings of Seraph”.

It was only till he had reached the Acolytes’ level that he realized not many people wore masks. Most people only wore it initially. After some time, they would realise that there wasn’t any meaning to them wearing and therefore had stopped wearing them. Obviously, very few people would know about the true identity of some leaders of huge organisations or people like the 5 Saints.

The Wings of Seraph was very good looking. In fact, he even gave off a retro feel. He was holding a long sword in his hand and scrutinizing Wang Zheng carefully and only said a word,” Please!”

Wang Zheng was more concerned about the number of spectators now. This would be the main source of income. There were only a few hundreds of people… That was rather little. Oh damn. When he was still dominant in CT, he could easily get millions and even over 10 millions of spectators. It would be great if there were also so many people so he could become rich almost instantly!

“Oh damn. Wing of Seraph got it cheaply!”

“Why was my luck so bad? It would still be great if it was a rookie. Why did it have to be him!”

“Could we try to steal it from him?”

“He must have been brain dead for him to start a life and death match!”

There were many ways one could snatch the items of others. However, one would definitely not be able to snatch others’ qualifications.

Those spectating were mainly those who wanted to participate in the life and death match. All of them were sighing. An idiot was sent to their doorstep and yet they couldn’t take advantage of the idiot. Who wouldn’t regret it?

Looking at the opponent, he didn’t even have a weapon. The key was that he had just entered the Acolytes’ level and only obtained the 16 Point Blade Technique. Even if he had impeccable capabilities, he would only be at a disadvantage. This was simply equivalent to feeding someone else.

The usual training was tough. It would even be tougher to have a fortuitous encounter. Wang Zheng’s life and death match was like a pie that dropped from the sky. Initially, everyone had thought that it was a scam. However, they started to believe after looking at Charcoal’s situation on the Acolytes’ level. Some people even went to the Disciples’ level to get more information.

The Wings of Seraph took out a crystal card. It had the Stormy Technique of the “Wood” attribute of the 5 phases and had “Wind” elemental affinity as well. It was a rather good Cultivation Technique. As for the Wings of Seraph, he had some fame in the Acolytes’ level. It would be hard to determine the number 1 pro but his Rapid Stream Burst attack of 8 strikes in a second was definitely one of the best.

…

From the attacking posture of the opponent, Wang Zheng could tell that he had some background in fencing. Those who had some foundation in fighting in real life would have great performance in the World of Saints.

Weng…

The Wings of Seraph had made his move. There was nothing for him to be showing off. He was here to snatch the opportunity to undergo the trial to become one of the Saints. He was betting on his luck. It was clear that he had a good personality. Surprisingly, he was chosen amongst all the people. This was fate!

The Wings of Seraph weren’t intending to prolong the battle and charge ahead at a fast speed once he started. This was a way to close the distance that only a fencing expert would know about. This would leave no room for the other party to retreat. Once one got close, a rapid strike would be struck.

…

The edge of the sword stopped just in front of Wang Zheng…

Could it be that he had misjudged the distance?

The Wings of Seraph was stunned for a moment and immediately attacked again. Once he moved, Charcoal at the opposing end moved along too. The Wings of Seraph was walking as his sword moved while Wang Zheng was moving as the sword moved. Over 10 consecutive follow up attacks had all missed.

The Wings of Seraph no longer dared to underestimate the other party. The opponent also had some skills and was very confident of himself. If Wang Zheng wished to earn more money, he would have to fight a few more rounds. However, the other party had paid for the match after all and he would have to make the other party feel like a guest. If he was to thrash the other party when they just started, he would be in trouble if he scared the rest away.
