Chapter 1118 - The Finger That Broke the Sky!
Tempest of the Stellar War
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiqin Nacchai glowed with a red light. He closed in at speed. Wang Zheng was moving as well, with just his right hand.
What was he trying to do?
No knife?
Was he trying to... poke him???
Shing...
There was only five meters between the two now. Qiqin Nacchai suddenly rose in the air. Was he overthinking it?
The titanium blade was imbued with an intense red aura, and lit the whole sky.
This was the real finisher!
Wang Zheng extended his right hand. In that instant, time seemed to stop. Space seemed to warp around and be attracted to this right hand. More accurately, it was one finger, that reached out slowly.
Wang Zhengâs body did not have a shred of energy left in it, because all of the Primordial Regression Techniqueâs energy was in this finger. He concentrated the Primordial Regression Techniqueâs power, and bet with his life!
Separation! Atomic Break!
Boom...
In the darkness, a beam of light burst forth like a star. It penetrated everything.
It was over in an instant.
Qiqin Nacchaiâs power on his knife had dissipated, but it seemed like an illusion. In midair, Qiqin Nacchai seemed unchanged... he could levitate too?
After one second.
Woom...
Both within and out of the battlefield, there was silence. Qiqin Nacchai had exploded into a puff of mist, floating in the air. A breeze blew by, and the blood danced into nothingness.
Wang Zheng did not watch him go. His right handâs finger was broken. Not just that, but after containing all that energy, his entire right hand was rendered useless.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But what did that matter?
Everyone was watching Wang Zheng in silence. He raised his head. âWhoâs next?â
His voice was soft, but everyone heard him. Seeing him covered in blood, his limbs hanging limply, Wang Zheng looked like he could be knocked down with a feather. But of all the pros present â all these self-hailed-first-in-the-world, leaders of their generation â not a single one said a word.
A pause. It was still silent, and no one moved. Jondi Lilick did not move a muscle. Logically, he was up next, but he did not move.
Aragorn did not move either. And if neither moved, then no one else would.
The entire field was completely taken by Wang Zhengâs presence.
In the monitoring room, Lya Sphinxâs General Dooleyâs face was ashen. He was completely unable to believe what had just happened!!!
How was this possible!?
Qiqin Nacchai was an Earth 3 super soldier, and unbeatable in the younger generation. How...
Even these worldly generals were thoroughly shaken. This kid called Wang Zheng was only 21 years old, and this was the second time he had shaken the world.
The bawling Huiyin had suddenly stopped. And the other three girls were stunned as well. Was he even... human?
But standing there covered in scars, this was when a man looked coolest.
âSuddenly, I find him really handsome!â Qian Xuedie opened her eyes wide.
âIf Her Highness Aina doesnât want him, leave him to me. After all, weâre matchmade,â Dong Er said.
Lin Huiyin suddenly raised her voice. âGo away! He has a sister-in-law!â
In a different time, this would have been a joyous moment, enough to make the four girls cavort in joy. But suddenly, someone moved.
And that move signified despair.
Atlantis Sea Queen battle teamâs captain, Dina Atlas.
The atmosphere became even more tense. Were they continuing?
Wang Zhengâs expression did not change. In the instant he stood out, he did not bear any more resentment. He would take the world on!
Atlantean royalty, and an enigmatic Atlantean warrior. How much did Wang Zheng have left?
Learâs inner conflict had finally ceased. If no one was going, he was going. He did not want to consider the consequences anymore. Intellect and impulse raged on. Luckily, Atlas had made his move. Wang Zheng, if you didnât die here, Iâll call you father!
Atlas walked onto the battlefield... but suddenly turned around, back facing Wang Zheng. âThatâs the end for today. Before the main competition, if anyone wants to find Wang Zheng, you can go through me.â
The winds were shifting. This...???
He was not here to fight??? Didnât Atlantis have a grudge with Wang Zheng? Would he not at least fight him? After a few disgraces, and now the matter of Princess Aina? What was he playing at?
The first to stand with Wang Zheng was actually an Atlantean.
Learâs mouth was wide open. This guyâs mother must have bedded a dog, for his brain to be this rotten. When did Atlantis suddenly like to be needless interferers?
Mars walked up. âMe as well. Iâm known to be brazen, but even I canât take this anymore. Aragorn, if youâre still resentful about your junior, you can take it up with me!â
Aragorn looked at Mars mildly. âNot too late when youâre recovered.â Having said thus, he left. Clearly, he was not intending to fight anymore.
Basically, he felt that Wang Zheng could still drag someone into death with him, and there was no need for him to take the fall. Besides, there was no chance now.
Ai Zhengyang looked on at the guy his cousin was infatuated with. Suddenly, he began to understand. Perhaps what had attracted Xiaolu was precisely this. The more stubborn you were, the more trouble you attracted. And for someone as clever as Xiaolu, this was irresistible.
Zhang Zhun had rushed up as well, hurriedly stemming Wang Zhengâs wounds. Damn, he was already so old, and it was not that he had never fought for his life before. But he had almost shed tears just now. He did not cede anybody respect, but this Wang Zheng, he would.
Atlas and Mars did not interact, or speak. Slowly, the rest dispersed as well. With these two around, the rest did not stand a chance. And more importantly, there was no need.
But now they were worried. If Wang Zheng lived till the main competition, what then?
Ouyang family. The four girls were already flying in the air, their spirits completely reversed. Qian Xuedie caught Huiyin. âMy little princess, what did you mean just now? Could it be?â
Huiyin did not shirk this time. For some reason, after what they had just witnessed, she felt very free. At least, in front of her own clique, she did not want to hide it anymore. âNone of you are allowed to clamor for his attention. Iâm the one whoâs in second place!â
âAyaya, biggg news! My dear princess, how many snacks will you need to cram into my unstoppable mouth?â
âAnd me, and me!â
âCan I be third?â
Huiyinâs eyes were still wet. But she was genuinely happy for Wang Zheng. As long as he was safe, she would be happy.
At the monitoring room, basically all the generals were present. They had not expected island A to be that intense. The elimination rate was frightening, in addition to Wang Zhengâs astonishing fighting power.
The worst off was Lya Sphinx. They had stood a good chance, but now it ended prematurely. Not just that, a genius warrior like Qiqin Nacchai had the potential to be the best. He had died here, and in a way that could not be saved. The power of that attack had been ultimate and mind blowing. The killing power was out of this world.
âI remember that he is from Earth...â
For some reason, this sentence touched their hearts.
âI feel like because of this, the qualifiers can be declared over. If it continues, itâs basically a special forces showdown. Theyâll all be killing each other off. What does everybody think?â Bolet again raised the suggestion. The Solar Systemâs two teams had already been eliminated, and the Solar System did not even have a representative. Damn, how could such a person be an Earthling? He should be Manalasuoâs!
âI agree. We donât even have 64 teams left.â
There were no objections. This qualifier had been quite harsh. Under majority consent, the minority opinion was also dismissed. The elimination rate was too high, and the remaining survival battle no longer held meaning.
An announcement sounded simultaneously above both islands. After one hour, the qualifiers would end prematurely.
Those on island A were not surprised, given the state of things. If it continued, there would be no meaning. After all, physical technique was but one aspect. And the important thing was still mecha battles. Humans used their bodies to test themselves and breakthrough, but not for actual battle.
But Wang Zhengâs finger had broken the sky, and it would not be forgotten for a while.
