Chapter 425: Snow Princess’ Battle Invitation

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Martians in the delegation were going crazy. The traces of pure blue light in that flame were so beautiful. This was not just ordinary blue flames. This type of blue colored fire energy was also known as fire essence. This was also the key to beating Xu Dongsheng in the end.

Both possessed low grade C-rank abilities, and Xu Dongsheng would still be considered much stronger than Lie Xin, who just had a break through and jumped two grades. It was just that a condition like Lie Xin’s was just too rare. For Ability X, every advancement would require great effort and luck. Lie Xin, on the other hand, had actually ascended two grades higher. This outburst was a little too ferocious. The problem was that at the start Lie Xin was evidently much weaker than Xu Dongsheng, but how could she suddenly have such an outburst?

Lie Wuqing did not care too much about that. He was the happiest. This was a signal that the Lie family would rise again. Lie Xin’s advancement in strength was nothing much. Even if it was in the martian army, there would also be many mature warriors who would be able to defeat Lie Xin. But the fact was that the Lie family represented political and religious power. For Lie Xin to have a breakthrough at this age, this was equivalent to breaking the shackles surrounding them. Even when they were at their lowest, the Martians were always firm about supporting the Lie family. And now that a turning point like this had appeared, the influence of the Lie family would definitely rise!

This would definitely be a change that would make a difference. There would definitely be an extremely important role for Lie Xin to play in stabilizing the internal situation of Mars.

Lie Wuqing was so happy that he did not know what to say. Just this gain had made this whole IG worthwhile. Of course, Meng Ao and Drachmach also understood this point. But it was just that the Solar System Federation team really kept encountering such situations. Looking from their actual strength, it was simply impossible for them to win this round. But as it happened, Wang Zheng had sent Lie Xin up and she had even won this round, and such a strange scene actually occurred.

Had Wang Zheng calculated such an outcome?

It was not just the two of them who had doubts, it was also the same for the rest of the people in the team. Everyone had spent such a long time together. Other than the fact that they were still unclear about the strength of Lear and Achilles, they more or less already had a grasp of Lie Xin’s strength. She was not someone who would be able to defeat Xu Dongsheng.

“Wang Zheng, please don’t tell me that you foresaw this!” Zhang Shan said as he wrapped his arm around Wang Zheng’s shoulder. However, his eyes were still staring at Lear. Even though they were teammates, Zhang Shan still did not trust Lear.

In any case, since Lear also did not care much about Wang Zheng, if Wang Zheng did something right, it was something that he ought to, and Lear would be able to do better. And if Wang Zheng did something wrong, it would be like him being guilty of terrible crimes. He should have have let Lear done it.

Wang Zheng laughed. “How would I know? Maybe luck played some part.”

He really did not expect Lie Xin to win, despite his confident demeanor. He had actually planned to let this round go, but mainly it was because he felt that Lie Xin’s flame arts had reached a new level.

Hence, on one hand it was for him to observe her, and on the other hand he also hoped to give Lie Xin a chance. He did not expect for this to be such a win-win situation, that the flame arts of Lie Xin could have made use of this opportunity to break through a realm, and this also reflected on her Ability X.

Lie Xin knew best. How many years had it been since someone from the Lie family was able to break through this level? It was like the flame arts had reached the peak already. But just now, she had accomplished something that was almost a miracle. The subsequent improvement of Ability X was nothing much, as the Lie family was able to improve their Ability X through their arts, and this was something that others were not capable of.

However, all these improvements actually stemmed from Wang Zheng’s help. He actually possessed telepathy as well! This Ability X was very rare. And the key thing was, it seemed like he understood the flame arts more than her, this was practically a miracle.

Lie Xin was filled with questions. Suddenly, she was reminded of the Sage’s words. The Sage had once mentioned before that she would meet someone fated to change her destiny.

Was he referring to this?

After thinking carefully about it, Wang Zheng was an unfamiliar junior from Earth. What did he have that rendered the Sage to want to specially meet him, and even give him such special treatment? Could it be that Wang Zheng came from an influential background?

Lie Xin could already walk on her own when she came out. A sexy and beautiful woman when appearing to be slightly weak was even more lovely and delicate. It was rare to see this side of the high and mighty Miss Lie.

Looking at the people who were flocking over, Lie Xin suddenly said one sentence that got everyone split their sides laughing. “Mister Team Leader, you have to take responsibility now.”

Wang Zheng was about to say his congratulations, but he was terrified…

What was she saying…

This ignited the gossip amongst everyone. While everyone was gossiping, Zhang Shan pulled Wang Zheng to the side. “F*ck, that’s not right. When did you win Lie Xin’s heart? You are too capable. Tell me, have you slept with her?”

Wang Zheng gave him a kick. “Go to h*ll. Even I am unable to make heads or tails out of this.”

Lie Wuqing still did not feel assured about the Lie Xin’s physical condition. He was going to personally bring Lie Xin for a checkup, but Lie Xin insisted in watching the rest of the battles. Her victory was nothing much; only when the whole team won could it be considered a success.

On the Hail Cloud Alliance’s side, they had run into a little trouble. Snow Lee was sure that they could easily win the first round. However, it was unexpected that such an accident would occur. That was impossible. One’s ability improvement was not like eating. How did she improve just like that?

Looking at Wang Zheng, that guy looked extremely calm and collected. It looked like it would not be easy to mess with him.

Who would be the representative for the Solar System team for the second battle?

With the Hail Cloud Alliance’s current situation, Snow Lee would probably have to go up for the second round. If they let the Solar System Federation team get two points first, then the Solar System team would have the right to choose if they wanted to start a team battle. However, the Hail Cloud Alliance would prefer to hold the rights to initiate the team battle.

Wang Zheng also looked at Snow Lee. She clearly wanted to fight him. It was evident that this favored girl from the snow country wanted to fight at least one round with Wang Zheng.

Lear looked at Wang Zheng. “Let me take care of this round. No matter who the opponent is, I will be able to win.”

Wang Zheng laughed. His rivalry with Lear had always existed. To be honest, Wang Zheng’s personality was considered not bad, as he was able to befriend many people. However, for Lear, neither of them would ever be able to become friends; this was actual ice and fire. Since the start of the IG, Lear had lots of dirty tricks, as if he really thought that Wang Zheng was stupid. But it was just that Wang Zheng had no time or effort to spend on such trivial matters.

However, as the team leader, he would not allow Lear’s voice to overwhelm his voice as the leader. If it was to volunteer to take the initiative for the whole team, Wang Zheng would naturally be supportive. But it was just that the attitude of this fellow was always as though he owed him something, and he himself could rise up to the position.

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head. “I think I will handle the second round. Team Leader Snow Lee has already gone up herself.”

Without noticing, Snow Lee had already gone up. For this battle, it should have been the Solar System Federation to send up their player first, but the team leader of the Hail Cloud Alliance went up first. It was obvious that she had the intention to force Wang Zheng to have a battle between leaders. This trick could kill two birds in one stone. If it was Wang Zheng who came up, then Snow Lee would just need to win to turn the tables. And if it was not Wang Zheng who came up, then she would also have gained the momentum. As this was a battle that Snow Lee must win, regardless of whether she faced Lear or Achilles, she could not underestimate anyone.

Lear frowned. “Wang Zheng, this is not a trifling matter. Even though you are the team leader, you are still injured. And the opponent also restrains you.”

Even though on the surface he was pretending to be righteous, in reality, regardless of his tone or what he said, all of it was a challenge to Wang Zheng’s authority as the team leader. It was like the team leader was a child he was taking care of, it was just an empty title.

“Lear, honestly, please just sit down. You seem to have forgotten that he helped us to fight and brought us all the way here. Don’t act pretentious.”

The one who spoke was Taros. It was like Taros had disappeared for the last few battles. No one was willing to pay attention to him. He was once the focus of attention, like a steamed bun whom everyone would want. However, no one was interested in him anymore. Taros was no doubt the one who hated Lear the most. This person was despicable and treacherous, hostile and heartless, he abandoned people just like that. And at this moment, he did not care about spilling salt on Lear’s wound.

Zhang Shan was very happy. “Taros, you are finally saying something sensible, haha.”

“Lear, just follow what the Team Leader says. We are the Solar System Federation team, we have to stay united and follow our commander.” Lie Xin said.

This was the first time where she had clearly stood on Wang Zheng’s side. And saying such a thing also meant that she was willing to follow Wang Zheng’s commands and that she recognized Wang Zheng as the team leader. This was not an easy thing to do for the prideful people of the Lie family. It would not have been possible if she was not sincerely willing to.

As for the people of the Lie family, to support one so publicly meant that he had become a friend of the Lie family. At least it meant that he had a friendly relationship with Mars.

Lear took a look at Achilles. Achilles had no reaction and did not declare his position, so it was evident that he was in a neutral position. It was obvious the Achilles would not obey anyone. However, since they were at the IG, victory would come first before any other thing.

“Wang Zheng, are your injuries alright?”

“It’s a small matter. It’s not like we are calling for a Heavenly Battle.” Wang Zheng stood up and exercised his muscles and bones for a bit. Coming to this stage, how could he have missed a battle of this level, especially when the opponent also had an ice Ability X? To be honest, in terms of Ability X, he was still a rookie. Except for letting it burst outwards, he knew nothing else. This battle was just nice and would allow him to learn.

The second round was very likely to be able to determine the direction of the competition, as it was a team leader battle.

Snow Lee laughed. “You are really courageous, very different from the rest of the people from Earth.”

Wang Zheng shook his head. “That means that you know too few people from Earth.”

At least from the people who Wang Zheng were familiar with, there were quite a few real men, such as Qiangsen. A person’s strength might be big or small, but as long as he was pressing forward courageously in his own world, it would be sufficient.

Unknowingly, Wang Zheng blinked his eyes at Aina, and Aina smiled. Snow Lee, one of the most eye-catching rookies of this round’s IG. The Hail Cloud Alliance had not had a female warrior from the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon appear for a very long time.

“I guess the chance of Wang Zheng winning is higher,” Aina suddenly said.

Even though Aurora was a little dejected, facing the question from the Royal Princess Highness, he was still very respectful. “The performance of Wang Zheng was indeed breathtaking, but I think Snow Lee still has a higher chance of winning. As she is a girl, she is being highly underestimated. And actually, the Hail Cloud Alliance has not had a fated girl of the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon appear for a very long time. The information that I have states that Olivios once fought against Snow Lee when he was in Academy X.”

“So what was the result?” Aina was stunned. She was initially very calm, but suddenly she felt a little worried as it was clear the Olivios would not wantonly challenge people.

Aurora smiled bitterly. “With Olivios’ character, anyone who fought against him would definitely have to lie down for a week at least. And in his eyes, he doesn’t distinguish between males and females. But on the second day, Snow Lee was completely fine, and since then, nobody had dared to provoke Snow Lee in Academy X. I guess it was a draw.”

Even though Aslan had been extremely ambitious in this year’s IG, Arbiter was their biggest rival from the start because regardless of Aurora or Oz, they were not as good as Olivios in a 1v1 fight. Perhaps when it came to innate skill and training, everyone was about the same, but after leaving Academy X, all Olivios had experienced were real battles, and they were of the most cruel types. And it was only Arbiter that was able to provide such training, and the disparity had started to widen from there.

Aslan… they were not cruel enough. At least when it came to the strength of their individual warriors, a disparity still existed.
