Tempest of the Stellar War

It was impossible for the three of time to directly research each other’s special technique directly. Even if Wang Zheng wanted to do so, Lie Xin and Achilles would probably not agree to it, since for them these were family traditions that were passed down in secret and they did not have the right to share them. However, they were still able to exchange pointers when it came to combat itself.

Lie Xin’s transcendence definitely left the other two speechless. The fury of her flames had already reached a point where they could utterly destroy others. This was fast approaching the final stage of the Lie Flame Technique. With raging flames that engulfed the skies, there would be total destruction.

From the point of view of other special techniques, such a progression would have been unbalanced. The further down this path one went, the more dangerous it would be. However, this was somehow fine for the Lie Flame Technique. Every family had their own secrets after all.

Achilles specialized in the spear. This matched up well with his Heavenly King Arts as well as the nature of people from the Moon. His formidable might was immediately obvious. Lie Xin on the other hand, was an expert at blades – flame blades in particular. Although she was a girl, the way she used her blades now had a demon-like aggressiveness to it. The murderous and tyrannical aura surrounding her somehow made her even more alluring.

The Lie Flame Technique was undeniably a special technique that could enhance one’s charisma.

Wang Zheng’s Primordial Regression Technique was more focused on primal combat. While he had practiced various weapons in the Rubik’s Cube, there was no particular one that he preferred over the others. It could be said that adaptability was his specialty instead, and his entire body was a weapon in itself.

The three of them practically did not leave for a couple of days. Their meals were delivered to them by Yan Xiaosu or Ye Zisu.

Yan Xiaosu originally drooled at the very sight of Lie Xin, but after watching her “violently defeat” Wang Zheng with an unparalleled level of aggressiveness, Tyrant Su withered away. The sexy and drool-inducing beauty from the Lie family turned into a fire-breathing dragon in just an instant – this was not something that any ordinary guy would be able to deal with.

If they did not use their weapons, Achilles and Lie Xin were no match at all for Wang Zheng. However, once they were armed, there was an immediate shift in the advantage and rhythm of the battle. Both parties were able to hold their own. The more they fought, the more apprehensive Achilles and Lie Xin became. Wang Zheng’s versatility far exceeded their expectations. The Primordial Regression Technique was probably one that only focused on the Minor Cycle of Elements, but the most terrifying part was that it had no bias towards any of the five elements at all.

The Heavenly King Arts were biased towards wind and thunder, the Ares Arts were biased towards wood, and the Lie Flame Technique was a purely fire technique. Wang Zheng’s special technique on the other hand, had no inclination at all. Based on their understanding of special techniques, there was no special technique that was like this besides a couple of highly obscure ones.

The only one that could be compared to it was the Blade Technique. However, the Blade Technique had always been a beginner’s technique since ages ago. It was absolutely not good enough for real battle. This had been proven in Saint World as well.

Achilles and Lie Xin wanted to try and find out more, but in the end they came up empty handed. The Milky Way Alliance was far too big – even the Milky Way Alliance itself had a plethora of unsolved mysteries.

When it came to the details of using Ability X, Wang Zheng still had a lot to learn from Achilles and Lie Xin. He was naturally gifted at using regenerative powers, but his basics still needed to be improved upon. Old Zhuo’s pointers were very important, but those were the opinions of an earth-tier expert who had been stuck in the Abyss for a very long time. Achilles and Lie Xin’s suggestions occasionally allowed Wang Zheng to come to new conclusions.

The three of time also analyzed and debated the special conditions of Tita Star. Lie Xin personally experienced a complete breakthrough in direct ignition while using the Lie Flame Technique.

Wood gave rise to fire. Since she was unable to tap into too much of the fire element, she directly used wood to ignite her flames. The effect was better than expected. At its peak, the Lie Flame Technique was practically able to convert any element to fire. While ice had absolute zero as a limitation, fire’s power was boundless.

Achilles adopted a more skillful approach to things. He was able to alter the conditions of his Heavenly King Arts to adapt to his surroundings. This was a unique feature of his special technique as well. It was without question that Achilles was more gifted in the use of his ability, whereas the Lie Flame Technique was simply a completely unreasonable special technique instead.

Wang Zheng’s wanted to become stronger as well. He was probably already able to adapt to all of the powers of the five elements, so all he needed to work on was how to react to various situations. His battle with Heaven revealed how far behind he was in terms of using Ability X. This was something that he had to diligently work at improving over time. A single day’s work would not be able to make him invincible overnight.

One of Wang Zheng’s key takeaways from Lie Xin and Achilles was the rigor and level of detail of the ancient special techniques. They were willing to give up everything in order to attain more power. He learnt many other things from them as well. The two of them were able to help answer many of the questions that Wang Zheng had about various minor details.

Lie Xin and Achilles on the other hand, were stunned by Wang Zheng as well. Regardless of how fortunate Wang Zheng had been or who his old mysterious old master was, the understanding towards special techniques and terrifying amount of determination that Wang Zheng demonstrated was something beyond their wildest imaginations. On the surface, Wang Zheng seemed like a calm and quiet person, but on the inside his heart was incomparably wild.

Their earnest exchange of pointers enabled the three of time to share their own skills while learning from each other. This greatly benefited all three of them. This friendly atmosphere was unfortunately only able to be attained in a specific time period and by specific people of a certain age. This exchange of ideas was definitely the most treasured asset for the three of them, and would go so far as to influence all three of their futures.

The Lie family and the Heavenly King family had also sent representatives over to discuss their involvement in the business project. Mu Sen would send special delegates to receive them. There were still a thousand things to be done on Tita Star, so over-investment was never a worry. Of course, the project was divided into different aspects as well.

Their lives followed this rigid structure until the arrival of Ai Xiaolu. Back at the elite academy, Ai Xiaolu was at most a senior that they got along well with. In the outside world however, Ai Xiaolu was truly an important figure. More accurately, the Ai Shi Financial Group truly had a great amount of influence.

As Ai Xiaolu was arriving, Jasper and his friends shamelessly wanted to receive her as well. Yan Xiaosu on the other hand, heard that the beauties of the Hail Cloud Alliance would be there as well, so he wanted to tag along no matter what. As a result, Wang Zheng had a group of people tailing him as he went to receive her.

Ai Xiaolu, Snow Li and De Fulei were shocked by the size of their welcoming party. The three Hail Cloud beauties fully intended to come here just for a vacation and were dressed rather casually for the occasion. A cheerful man in his fifties that seemed like their butler followed closely behind them.

“Wang Zheng, did you really have to bring such a large group over? If I didn’t know you better I would have thought that you were trying to woo one of us.” Ai Xiaolu teased as she arrived.

Snow Li immediately started to blush. The bunch of hog-like men started to drool as well. It was not as though Jasper and others were virgins that had never seen any pretty girls before, it was just that Snow Li’s absolute beauty was really one-of-a-kind. Even their pretty female secretary was nothing compared to this. No wonder Brother Zheng had no interest in any of the pretty girls at their previous party. If he was Brother Zheng he would not have been interested as welll.

“Snow, Xiaolu, De Fulei, these are all my friends from Tita. They heard that pretty girls were coming to visit, so they wanted to verify this for themselves no matter what.” Wang Zheng laughed.

“Oh, is that so? There are a few familiar faces here. Could that be Jasper?” Ai Xiaolu suddenly replied.

Jasper was overwhelmingly humbled by this. He did not know what to do with his hands. Yan Xiaosu could not help but laugh at this behaviour of his. Apparently this playboy also had his own clumsy moments as well.

“Come on everyone, let’s not block their way any longer. We’ve already made arrangements outside. Welcome to Tita Star. I assure you that you ladies will enjoy your time here!” Yan Xiaosu shouted out. He was always hyped up in front of an audience, especially if the audience consisted of pretty girls.

Snow Li looked only at Wang Zheng. When she realised that he was indeed alright, she heaved a sigh of relief. She truly had no clue how he was able to deal with the Earth Grade assassin.
