Chapter 702: Hanging by a Thread

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

The whole crowd went silent. It was the medical personnel that were rushing in. This was because the life-support signal had lighted up.

If Hu Kan ended up like this when Olivios had missed slightly, what if he had hit him on the bullseye. Hu Kan would probably be crushed.

The Overlord stood up gradually. After this impact, Olivios would really need some time for recovery. No matter if it was his Ability or his muscles, he would need some time to get used to it. However, he wouldn’t need to worry about the counterattacks of his opponent at all.

Although he had defeated the top-notched masters of the Xuan Grade, Olivios still didn’t had much expression. He was still as cold. As before.

His brother, Marzu was also expressionless and didn’t see it as something to be happy about. Everything was just like it should be.

However, the expressions of these 2 brothers made the rest felt unbelievable.

They didn’t need any compliments and cheers from others. Victory was just as easy as breathing.

Pressure was spreading throughout the whole crowd.

The people from Arbiter were not giving the rest a way out.

With Hu Kan’s defensive ability and techniques, he still couldn’t withstand a strike. He also had to depend on Olivios to give him a chance to remain alive.

Olivios’ Ability X had the effect of dissipating his opponent’s Ability X through shockwaves. In other words, Hu Kan’s defences had already dissipated at the contact of the shockwave. If it wasn’t for the protection of the energy shield, he would have died on the spot.

This was Olivios who had the innate ability to counter various Abilities X. It wasn’t as simple as just emitting shockwaves.

This was the Overlord. With his great strength, he could overpower 10 skilled opponents.

In such an easy way, Olivios had obtained the No 1 title in the third battle group and became the first person in Elite Academy X’s history to achieve victory in such a big competition as a Huang Grade student.

After the getting over their shocks, the cheers finally sounded. Clearly, the brothers from Arbiter would continue to rule Elite Academy.

For the king of attack and the one who could never be defended against, one would had to execute stronger attacks to suppress him if he/she wished to defeat this type of person!

Everyone’s gazes landed on the King of Vermillion Bird, Hocatolin. Among the four masters, Hocatolin had the most potent attacks. Even Marzu had to admit that. If one was to only consider a single lethal strike, no one could compete with Hocatolin.

Between Ability X’s, one would either suppressed the other or be suppressed. There was no other way out.

The Huang Grade students could finally lift their heads high. Olivios had clearly taken over the mantle of his seniors and became the idol of the new generation.

“Jiang Feng, what is the ranking of Olivios now?”

“Based on the current circumstances, he should be able to break out from the observation group and have an official ranking.”

The X-Ranking Board had 10,000 slots. In fact, those that required attention were only the first 1000. The following 9000 rankings were mainly reserves for observation. Among them, there weren’t a lack of some wanted criminals or pirates. Olivios’ situation was slightly special; His ranking would likely increase substantially this time.

Everyone had originally thought that Olivios’ Ability was simply the superposition of shockwaves to increase one’s destructive power. However, it would now seem that his shockwave could affect his opponents’ control of their Ability X’s frequency, causing their Abilities to collapse. This could made his opponents felt a little despair.

“This type of student should be nurtured to see the bigger picture. If he was to just be a mech warrior, it would really be a waste.” said Claudia with a smile.

“Cough cough. Professor Claudia, you couldn’t be poaching my students this way. I was at least still a Professor in the Elite Academy.” Jiang Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he could see the admiration Claudia had for Olivios. Claudia was also senior to Jiang Feng. Her visit this time also had the meaning of examining the Elite Academy.

“This Hu Kan actually still had something up his sleeves. It was a pity that he didn’t even have the chance to react.” Claudia’s remarks were also more sincere. It was just that when she saw such a destructive Ability X of Olivios, it was truly shocking. To defend against him, Hu Kan would likely have needed to progress to the Earth grade to have a chance. In addition, he had to have the mental preparation to be able to do so.

Jiang Feng smiled. Olivios and Wang Zheng were 2 students he had the highest hopes on. They were both talented and hard working. Although Wang Zheng was a little disappointing, at least Olivios was still around. Moreover, he had discovered Lear and Achilles. The rise of the Solar System was truly surprising. However, Inner Roland was the nurturing ground for the elites of humans, he didn’t care about where they were from. On the contrary, it was better that they had come from a small federation. This was better for the balance of the Milky Way Alliance. If it was dominated by large empires like Arbiter and Aslan, the balance would be broken instead.

The competition on the first day had ended. Everyone was discussing about Olivios and his unfathomable Ability X. To be able to almost kill Hu Kan when he had left some space between them in the last strike, this would mean that Olivios was actually holding back all along. Moreover, he had already deduced that his opponent would not be able to withstand it at all. This type of mentality was the crux of their problem.

If given more time, this type of person would definitely be an existence that could reach the Earth Grade.

For the moment, Olivios had snatched away the glory of his seniors. With regard to this, Olivios himself didn’t seem to be interested. On the contrary, he seemed a little unhappy.

Olivios was feeling a little anger in his heart. He was angry that Wang Zheng would actually die!

Could it be that the Abyss was really so strong? That place was also the direct reason for Olivios to come to the Elite Academy.

He was looking for his limits. It didn’t matter if it was the human or Zerg that was stronger than him. He wanted to discover his own weakness. In this way, he could then find the meaning of staying alive.

The reporter of the Elite Academy wanted to interview Olivios but Olivios just stared back with a cold gaze. Although the reporter did not get the interview he wanted, he was conquered by the cold gaze like many others.

Oli was both happy and sad. He was happy that his fiancé had won. However she was sad that no one knew if Wang Zheng was dead or alive. Zhang Shan had said that Wang Zheng would definitely return. However, the school had said that the chances of surviving were not high.

Most people would not care about the life or death of a student without background or fame. In the eyes of others, he was just another missing person.

The school was also great in making others want more. After the first match had ended, the second match was starting only 2 days later.

The second match was from the first battle group. Achilles would be challenging the King of White Tiger, Marzu. Facing the legendary number 1 master Marzu, almost everyone thought that it would be an easy match. However Achilles had created lots of problem for Marzu. The Heavenly King Arts were not inferior to any other Cultivation Technique. It was complete and stable. His opponent’s Heavenly Overlord Technique was not able to gain any advantage. However, the final difference was still based on Ability X. Obviously Marzu real battle experience was fuller than Achilles and he was eventually able to emerge victorious.

No one could tell how much effort Marzu had exerted. However this representative figure of Arbiter gave a high assessment of Achilles after the match. Achilles’ spear techniques were commendable and Marzu wasn’t able to find any flaws with it.

However, everyone was still slightly relieved. If Marzu had lost, Xuan Grade could be shut down. Luckily, the advantage of the Xuan Grade was their Ability X rank which showed through.

During the battle, Achilles suffered some minor injuries. This meant that Marzu was still in control of the tempo. If it was an even battle, the injuries would likely be worse unless there was one party who wished to surrender.

From a different perspective, although Olivios had given some chance, it would still be hard for him to defeat Hu Kan if he didn’t used his ultimate move.

This was the realm of being able to control the details.

However after this match, Achilles also became famous. After all, he was able to have a rather even match with the number 1 master of the Xuan Grade. This would be indicative of his strength. Vermillion Bird Region now had another master. No matter who was facing Marzu, one would likely be inferior.

The battles were heating up in this place. The entire Elite Academy seemed to be going through a festival. However, Lin Huiyin did not appear after all. She didn’t watch the competition and didn’t want to. If it wasn’t for Wang Zheng, she would have zero interests in these things. However, there was nothing she could do other than pray that Wang Zheng would be fine. She wasn’t as strong as her sister and could not put on a front. When she didn’t want to smile, she wouldn’t, if she didn’t want to go out, she wouldn’t. It doesn’t matter if others would say if she was wilful or too young. Why did she have to think so much about it?

At this moment, Wang Zheng…

He was indeed safe and sound and was having an enriching time. However, this type of enriching life was coming to an end.

Old Zhuo did not have much to teach Wang Zheng anymore. How far Wang Zheng could go would depend on his talents and insistence. It was time to leave this place.

The truth was that over the past year, Old ZHuo could feel that his body was ageing more and more quickly. He had to hurry up.

Both of them had made ample preparations. The truth was that they had been simulating this escape plan. However, it didn’t mean that they would be successful. Moreover, whether they could escape this place alive had to be fully dependent on luck.

After waiting for 3 days, there wasn’t any great opportunity. However if there wasn’t any great opportunity, they shouldn’t be trying to rush through it too. Both of them had to endure further.

Adjustments were made to the mech to bring out its best condition. Old Zhuo had also spent a lot and took out the most delicious canned food he could find. Even if he died, he also wanted to be a well-fed ghost. Those damn Zergs’ meat was too awful. Even eating the bark of the trees would be better.

Two mobile warrior were hiding among the small opening of the rubbish piles. In the end, that round transport Zerg appeared again. There were over 100 of them this time and this could be considered a rather large scale dumping.

The reason why they had chosen the scenario where there were more rubbish Zerg was to increase their success rate. This was because the rubbish Zerg didn’t possess any attacking capabilities. When there were more of them, the opportunities would also be more. It wouldn’t bother them and could serve as covers for them at the same time.

Obviously when there were more rubbish Zerg, there would be more hidden Zerg too. However, Old ZHuo had already made preparations for them.

“Old Zhuo, what do you think?”

Wang Zheng asked. He was also a little nervous. After waiting for such a long time, whether they live or die would depend on this.

“It will be today. Wang Zheng, if there’s a chance to run, just run. If I have the chance, I wouldn’t care about you. The same goes for you. At least one of us must get out alive!”

Old Zhuo said seriously.

Wang Zheng smiled,” I’m still young. If I can get out, I will live your part of your life for you.”

“D*mn kid. I will recover my youth when I get out and will definitely court 10 little girls!” Old Zhuo also laughed.

However, there wasn’t any joking in their eyes. Not only did they have to get out alive, they had to bring out this valuable information out. There was no one who had ever gotten out alive after coming to this place. They might be the only ones.

Both of them had the reasons to continue living. Wang Zheng was still young and had his friends, ambition and the glorious future. Old Zhuo had a family, kids and he wanted to see his daughter and not just a photo.

To his daughter, a dead hero could never replace a living father.

Both of them were trying hard to calm their breathing. When the tentacles of the rubbish Zerg started to move about, it would be the beginning of the dumping of rubbish. The rubbish from the other side would be sucked in and thrown into this place. At that moment, there would definitely be a spatial passage.
