Chapter 1045 - All Grown up

At this moment, Pogba’s Skylink rang, and a killing intent flashed past his eyes. “Master, Wang Zheng seems to have walked right into the trap. He is now in the hands of Hong Lirong, but the Hong Lirong family did not cut off their relations with the Milky Way Alliance completely. I am worried, will it be a trap?”

Pogba also had hatred in his heart. He had spent so much time trying to capture Wang Zheng, but the other side had captured him alive so easily. This was giving him a slap in the face.

Lear glanced at Pogba. “Everything is under control. If there is any problem with Hong Lirong, just kill her too.”

“Master, you are so wise. Then I will arrange it,” Pogba said excitedly. It was clear that Master Son of Saint was still quite fond of him. Some words would not be clearly said, but this suggestion meant that the Master Son of Saint wanted to develop him. “Please rest assured. In the future, your words will be orders, and I will execute them meticulously!”

Pogba expressed his loyalty.

Lear nodded with satisfaction. “Remember, don’t alert the enemy. Bring some powerful people, kill that Hong Lirong. The others must still be incorporated into your troops. The overall situation of Maklou still have to remain stable.”

“Master Son of Saint’s considerations are comprehensive. I know what to do.”

Pogba turned and left with delight on his face. Hong Lirong had long been unpleasant to his eyes. Why should he give her half of his gains when he put in all the effort? As long as the Saint’s identity was not exposed, he had the means to provoke. He would be able to hit two targets with one arrow.

It was just that he did not see the smile in Lear’s eyes deepen...

Classmate Lear could not wait to enjoy Wang Zheng’s frustrated and helpless expression. This was undoubtedly an appetizing feast. The dark clouds of the previous period had been blown away.

Far away at Elite Academy X, there was suddenly a lack of top powerful people as Wang Zheng and the others had left. But the hype on mech battles had been completely raised up. Although the top powerful people were not there, the front ranking powerful people were still there. Small-scale friendly battles were even more prevalent. The battle teams did not disband, but increased in size. Without the restraint of the Greatest King, the people focused on developing their mecha piloting skills and the joy of battling.

In recent days, Zhang Shan and Sweeney had been very close.

Yes, very close. These two people were definitely foes who would not become friends without a fight. At the beginning, Sweeney looked down on Zhang Shan. Other than being a little smart, his skill level was just normal, but in the less than two years in Elite Academy X, Zhang Shan’s speed of improvement was scary. Looking back at what kind of person Zhang Shan was when he had just entered school, and looking at Zhang Shan now, from basic skills to Ability X, and, of course, he was the strongest in his ability to adapt to changes. This ability was intangible, but he could still use it to prove himself in constant battles. Moreover, scouts really needed to possess the ability to detect the opponents with their sixth sense.

In the constant collisions to be the first scout, Sweeney and Zhang Shan had unexpectedly developed some feelings.

Sweeney was a typical Arbiter girl. She liked the strong. Zhang Shan’s lively personality did not seem to fit, but Arbiters also liked those who persevered and worked hard. Zhang Shan’s liveliness was just on the surface. Toughness was his real inner-self.

The two also represented the highest level of scouts at the current Elite Academy X.

As the Greatest King, the Saruman Snake battle team was undoubtedly the most popular. Even if there was no Wang Zheng, Achilles, Lie Xin, plus Mu Zhen and Zhang Shan were enough to form a strong formation.

Mu Zhen showed off his strengths during this time. The Tita people had a strong fighting talent. It could be said that before the humans had fully invaded their star, the only thing that the Tita people knew how to do was fight. And due to his mixed blood, Mu Zhen also had the human beings’ ability to learn. Coupled with Wang Zheng’s cultivation technique as the vital finishing touch, all that was left for Mu Zhen was to wait for a transformation.

Besides, he had the thoughtful help from a human friend Ai Ruifen now. Ai Ruifen was “doing research” wholeheartedly. Still, receiving help from such a detail-oriented human friend was indeed much better than careless people like Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. Of course, whether or not Ai Ruifen was doing it for her private interest was not important.

The huge figures of the Tita people represented their Ability X capacity. At the same level, Mu Zhen’s capacity was two to three times that of the average person. The weakness was that he was relatively poor in delicate work, but Mu Zhen was really smart. He knew how to avoid his weaknesses and magnify his strengths. A full power battle style was more suitable for him, especially when he was a heavy mech user. He would grow rapidly through constant battling.

There was absolutely no shortage of challengers in Elite Academy X, especially for the champion team members. Let alone challenging others, as long as the word got out, their challengers could form a long queue. It did not matter if they lost. After all, the opponent was the Greatest King. But if you really won, you would make a name for yourself immediately.

As the first Greatest King team, Saruman Snake had no proudness of a king. From the beginning, Achilles and the others had the correct mentality. They were not Arbiter, not Aslan. They did not need the burden of the Greatest King, and they should face it all normally. If they wanted to keep the glory and to become stronger, they must battle.

If they began to fear failure one day, then that would be the beginning of failure.

After completing her training, Lie Xin received an invitation from Achilles. This was rare, so she did not reject it.

“It’s rare that you are gentlemanly and invite me for a cup of coffee. It seems like we have known each other for almost ten years,” Lie Xin smiled. The Lie Xin now was a little like a reborn. Although her sexiness still radiated out strongly, she had much less negative emotions.

Achilles smiled slightly. “It’s indeed been a long time since the Academy X Junior Class.”

“Wrong. Before I went to the Academy X Junior Class, I already knew the young genius of the Heavenly King family.”

“Lie Xin, are you making fun of me?”

“I dare not to.” Both of them could not help but laugh. There was less hostility. This feeling was really great.

She took a sip of coffee. “What made you want to look for me so suddenly? Is there something wrong?” Lie Xin asked.

“Why, can’t I just ask you out? You are a beauty, I am a single man. It seems not bad too.” Achilles laughed.

“Tsk tsk, that’s amazing, you actually know how to tease now. That’s an improvement,” Lie Xin said. She and Achilles were not the same type of person at all. They might be good partners, but they would never be lovers. One lived by rules, and the other liked excitement.

“No choice. I have been with Zhang Shan for a long time, so I also speak with less care for diction.” Achilles found a person to blame immediately.

Zhang Shan, who was training, sneezed a few times. F*ck, which girl was thinking about him?

“Is it because of Wang Zheng’s matter?” Lie Xin asked.

Achilles nodded. “After the battle, I also thought for a long time. We need a leading figure for the rise of our Solar System. In fact, after going through what happened during this period, I have changed my perspective. Jumping out of the situation, I realized you, me, Lear, have already lost our qualifications from the beginning.”

“Oh? Why?” Lie Xin did not express her opinion.

Achilles smiled lightly. “Because all three of us have too deep a background. Even if we were willing to agree, our families would not agree, so Wang Zheng is more suitable. He can balance this power. In the absence of choice, he is the best choice.”

“Did you convince the Doyle family like this?”

“More or less. Recently, the KO Group performed very well in all aspects. Ye Bingwen is also a newcomer and basically meets the requirements. I intend to let my family take the initiative to contact him,” Achilles said.

Lie Xin sized Achilles up. “That’s a bit unexpected.”

“Unexpected?”

“Yes, this does not seem to be the style of the Sun God Achilles.”

Achilles smiled lightly. “Maybe from the beginning to the end, we Moon citizens all lacked a little faith. Wang Zheng is a good person. When you fight beside him, at least you don’t have to worry about someone stabbing you from behind. And the Solar System’s morale has reached the right state. If we don’t seize it now, maybe we will have to wait for decades, or even hundreds of years again, for this kind of opportunity.”

Lie Xin looked at Achilles. She knew that this arrogant son of the Moon in front of her had probably approved of Wang Zheng already.

Sometimes, for many things, the more you compete for it, the more you would not get it.

“Actually, I have no interest in the revival plan that you have been talking about. Isn’t it very good now? The battle between men is different from what I’m interested in. However, Wang Zheng is very interesting. If I’m together with him, I will never be lonely. ”

“Hehe, I also have the same feeling. That person is simply a disaster. Wherever he goes, there will be a big commotion.” Achilles smiled.

“Why, have you heard something?” Lie Xin knew that the most powerful intelligence networks in the Solar System were Achilles’s Heavenly King family and Milo’s Iron Curtain family. This relationship was like the Lie family and the Sage Sect.

“It’s nothing. Your Lie family should know that there is a power underground. You guys should have come into contact with it. It’s said that it was once a legacy, and now they are reviewing their heir,” Achilles said.

Lie Xin was stunned for a while. “There is such a thing, but the Sage Sect blocked off this matter directly.”

Achilles glanced at the scenery outside the window. “You should know that the most powerful era of our Solar System started the stellar great voyage. At that time, it was not the Milky Way Alliance that ruled human beings, but a cultivation technique organization called the Saint Church. A very great number of cultivation techniques came from the Saint Church. Your Lie family’s Lie Flame Technique and my Heavenly King Arts. The Chronos family is also the same. So much so that many of the powers left in the various Milky Way Alliance countries now are the same.”

“I know this, but wasn’t it forcibly disbanded for some reason?”

“Not at all, they are just laying low, and waiting for an opportunity. Not to mention them, now even you and I can feel this power coming back to life.”

“That is a good thing. After all, this is the power of our Solar System!”

Achilles laughed. “The problem is that after a few hundred years, the nature of this power has probably changed. We are not us in the past. Why will they be the same?”

“What do you mean?”

“Actually, it is an uncertainty now. Maybe the Sage Sect has detected something. Our Heavenly King family too, so they chose the Chronos family.”

“Lear?”

“Yes, haven’t you realized that Lear has been living very smoothly in Elite Academy X, even getting help from the Mayans?”

Lie Xin did not say anything. In fact, she was also a bit uncertain. Although Lear was very good at maintaining relationships, the Mayans would not be interested in the “relationships” of human beings. Obviously, there were other reasons, but she did not think of this aspect. It was hard to say what Lear’s true strength was, but it would not be much better than hers and Achilles’. Yet he was really living much better than the both of them at Elite Academy X, so Achilles and Lie Xin were a little remorseful.

Even if Lie Xin have a lot of freedom, she could not free herself from her family. Ultimately, she could not defy her family. She was a part of the Lie family. This was something etched deeply into her bones. In fact, it was a bit like the relationship between Aina and Wang Zheng. Even if Aina loved Wang Zheng, she could not abandon everything.

Because they had all grown up already.

“Wang Zheng is the best choice.” Lie Xin nodded. “I will be responsible for my family’s side.”

Achilles nodded. “We have to take this matter slowly. The resistance on your side may be bigger. Do it quietly. If it’s too obvious, I am worried that that power will create trouble.”

“Tsk tsk, if you were a woman, maybe Wang Zheng would like you,” Lie Xin said suddenly.

Achilles was stunned momentarily, and shrugged helplessly. He was really not Lie Xin’s opponent in bickering.
