Tempest of the Stellar War

Panda Novel

The tests at SIG did not end there. After Wang Zheng’s scare, the second round of tests was about to begin. This one was the “Five Elements Forge”.

Lin Hong was the biggest supporter of SIG. As the head of the Royal College, he was concerned about the outcome. But any superpower had to have foresight. They could not let any opportunity pass them.

And what could provide richer subject data than SIG?

In the first round, Wang Zheng had produced a marvel. This was an exception that had never occurred before, and his potential was astounding. A pity that his other team members were quite lacking.

The Five Elements Forge was the second research direction which he supervised. It was mainly used to classify and evaluate Ability X quality.

Actually, Elite Academy X had a similar way of doing things. For example, Di Maria had the highest quality of Ability X. Time. Time abilities were not as awesome at the start, and could not do godlike things like stop time, but in the future?

It would always have unlimited potential. That was why Ability X quality was also something that the various countries took seriously.

Everyone entered one by one. The quality test was not too structured. It was divided into three categories: high, middle, and low.

Di Maria and the Aslan crowd unquestionably achieved high quality with ease.

The top 20 team captains were all high quality, but Student Wang again gave everyone a shock.

He was low quality…

This guy had not skived from the moment the examination had begun. How could the honest to goodness leader of Saruman Snake possess a low quality Ability X?

This meant that his Ability X was of normal flesh or related to one of the five basic elements. And such abilities were the most common and average, which naturally were evaluated as low quality.

Even if they had power, and taken to a high level, it made others feel a lot better. This meant that their future growth would be better than Wang Zheng’s. This guy could have his time now, but he would not achieve the same in the next phase.

Lear was rated high quality. What was more surprising was Luo Fei. The fatty had also been rated high. That was a surprise.

It seemed like this evaluation did not affect the result. If Student Wang were eliminated here, it would be a joke.

The first day of tests ended, and it felt easy. Such a level did not mean much to many of the experts. Aslan seemed to be more bark than bite.

Even the IG of the past would not have let them pass so easily. Normally, they would immediately begin clashing, and it seemed like rest was the most important factor here.

But this rest was within a strange space. What was Aslan smoking?

Saruman Snake’s members had huddled together. Something was not right.

“What do you think Aslan is trying to do this time? All that nonsense with the tests, and now they’re actually giving us rest time. It seems scary,” Zhang Shan said.

“No idea. Given Aslan’s standards, it won’t be so easy.” Achilles shook his head slightly. “Wang Zheng, looks like we’re depending on you this time.”

Overall, in the Ability X test, no one besides Wang Zheng had entered the top 50, and the competition could not be described as intense. Overwhelming, more like.

This time around, many of the warriors were mature and complete fighters. Without testing, they were just a name, but this test had basically reflected their level.

“Achilles, we are a team. And Ability X is just one aspect of battle power, and one that we’re weak in,” Wang Zheng dissented.

“What I’m worried about is that the leader and members will be separated after this, and we can’t showcase our team synergy.” Achilles revealed his worries.

If the members were eliminated, then it did not matter how strong Wang Zheng was individually.

This had also hit Wang Zheng’s greatest worry on the head, that he was not the one in charge of making the rules.

The entire base was filled with unease. If they at least knew what to expect, then at least they could make some preparations. Being kept ignorant was the hardest.

The top teams like Aslan and Arbiter were not worried. No matter what was thrown at them, they would manage. But the weaknesses of a team like Saruman Snake were all too obvious. If the rules targeted them, then they would really not shine.

Currently on base.

Aslan’s Prime Minister, Kashawen, and Aslan’s first princess, Aina, had finished watching the entire test from another room.

This was not the point. Kashawen had no interest in the process. She only wanted to know the result. But bringing Aina out had another purpose.

“Aragorn, 23, Warrior Soul College. Son of the second biggest family on Arbiter, and also one of the faces of the younger generation of Arbiter. Their family’s political inclinations are rather compatible with our future plans.”

“Jondi Lilick, 25. Manalasuo College’s leader, and his family’s military influence on Manalasuo is astounding. Currently, there are more than 10 generals there.”

Her meaning was clear. Aina had already reached matchmaking age. No talk of freedom. This was the duty of the Aslan Empire’s princess. Each generation had political marriages, even if the choices were increasing.

At present, internal politics were stable. If Aina refused to make a local choice, then she had to find a foreigner. Whether it was Arbiter or Manalasuo, it would be of prodigious use to Aslan.

“Both are excellent, but not perfect. Dina Atlas, Aslan royalty. I find this one not bad,” Kashawen said.

Because Aina was clever, Kashawen did not need to embellish. All three could be chosen. Arbiter’s choice was most favorable to Aslan at present, but the Atlanteans had treated Aina better. From a political standpoint, Aslan and Atlantis were already past the point of war, and there was no need to fortify it any further.

Kashawen had started such a large scale task, even affecting SIG, just to let Aina make her decision.

She was of age, and could not put off her choice forever. Avoiding was not an option. Her phase of stubbornness was over, and it was time to fulfil a princess’ duty.

“Aunt, may I have some time to consider?” Aina’s expression was impassive.

“You may. Aina, I’m not forcing you. We royals have no choice. It is not just you. Huiyin is the same. All men and women of the Aslan imperial family have to make a choice,” Kashawen said.

At this time, she had hardened her heart. For such a long time, she was sure that Aina had come to her own understanding. Whether things worked out or not, Aina had to bring good news to the short term national plans, and marriage was undoubtedly the best. The Princess’ other half was very important. Even if it was just a gesture, it would bring about a huge effect if released at the right moment.

Kashawen left, leaving Aina pondering alone. Bringing Aina out was to prevent her from running away. She had been running for a long time now, but she could not hide forever.

Aina’s gaze locked on the screen. Her emotionless expression suddenly warmed.

Wang Zheng.

She had delayed as long as she could. She had given Wang Zheng as much time to grow as she could. Now was the time to make her decision. Ever since she had that “handshake” with Wang Zheng, she had thought of this. To beat them at their own game, and to face the urging of the royal family. And now she could delay no longer. She even suspected that Kashawen had seen through her, but had not exposed her. She was forcing her to declare it this time.

After brooding for a while, Aina finally sent a Skylink message that would never be forgotten: “I must be married. Do you dare to win my hand?”

Ding dong.
