Tempest of the Stellar War

Panda Novel

Meng Tian paid out some time from the wristband in exchange for a large amount of supplies from the black man, which the team urgently needed.

It was just that, for some reason, on the black man’s wrist… there was no wristband.

He had come to planet Oracle willingly and had already been here for a long time. Every year, there would be people sent here. There were convicts on death row, people from the Underworld, even adventurers, and let’s not forget those disciples in training from various ancient martial arts worlds. There were all kinds of reasons, but they all had a common point: they were strong. Of course, those who wore the timed wristbands were forced to be here, and they were more tragic.

The “time” on the wristband that was counting down, which Meng Tian and the others needed to extend, was also useful for them. It was like a currency, in fact, where it could be used for various kinds of transactions.

In reality, aside from the wristband, these “volunteers” were not much different. They did not have any obvious privileges aside from the fact that they had a clearer goal and were much more prepared.

The level of Saint World was popular in the Underworld. Once discovered as suitable, they would be lured here using any means. Some people had indeed stayed for a long time already as the Saint could fulfil all their needs and goals. But what did the Saint want exactly?

This was something no one knew.

As for the ancient martial arts disciples that the Saint stated, they were entirely willing to train here. This group of people was strong, and at the same time, they had a lot of freedom and were also the group that nobody was willing to provoke. Naturally, they also had their own rules and would not interfere with the other groups.

When the intruders were “banished” into the Island of Death, a heated conflict with the volunteers exploded almost immediately.

The intruders that were forced here wanted to use such a method of intense destruction to drive out the mastermind behind this entirety.

The entire process was very intense and a number of people had passed away, but there was still no movement from the mysterious organization. They seemed to be satisfied that such an intense situation had occurred.

When both had suffered heavy losses in manpower, the full-force conflict ended. However, the hatred had already been formed and there was no way to completely return order. The civil wars still continued, but it was just that everyone was scattered and they fought from their own small teams.

There were people who proposed to congregate all their strength together, but there had been no results!

Meng Tian and the others, who were exiled, did not manage to unite here, as the fleet’s internal division also had their differences. Ultimately, Meng Tian became a leader of strength, and amongst those who followed her, most were young warriors from the Milky Way Galaxy Military College. However, she did not have much strength, she was just reluctantly surviving.

“Go.”

Meng Tian meticulously counted the supplies, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, she then made the secret gestures at Yuan Jing and Mengha, who were leading a group in the dark and in the open respectively. The two of them thus brought their men over, and the black man made the same move as well, right before leaving the scene rapidly.

Meng Tian, who was carrying the supplies and about to leave, abruptly stopped!

“What’s wrong?”

Mengha and Yuan Jing reacted immediately.

“Nothing. Let’s go, and let’s be more careful.”

Meng Tian glossed over her surroundings. There seemed to be nothing unusual…

However, regardless of the situation, they could not be too careless. After the first meeting failed, they had completely sunk into a situation where they had to fight for themselves. Maybe everyone had previously belonged to the same college, the same fleet, but now, there were only two kinds of relationships.

The first kind, teammates.

Everyone else, they were all competitors.

To put it simply, as long as they were not of the same team, anyone could be your enemy, even the person you had sworn a pact with would not be reliable. There was no clear boundary with the opponent.

The whole situation was a mess. The reason why Meng Tian was the leader of the team was not because her capabilities were the strongest, but because she was the one everyone trusted the most.

“Meng Tian?”

Having just returned to the small building that the team currently occupied, a slim figure flashed past from behind the walls, calling out Meng Tian’s name.

Those eyes that were limitless like an ice abyss gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

Meng Tian’s vision slightly flashed. It was strange, the person was obviously right in front of her eyes, yet there was a feeling of non-existence.

“You are… Xie Yu Xin?” A pleasantly surprised smile was revealed across Meng Tian’s icy cold face.

Xie Yu Xin lightly smiled. “My unfamiliar old classmate, good to see you again.”

A simple meeting room was created with a long dining table and a few chairs of different designs. Meng Tian sat at the head seat, and following that were Mengha and Yuan Jing, according to their capabilities. Mengha was an Earth-rank one warrior, and he was the core strength of the team. Yuan Jing had also already stepped up to Earth-rank, but his condition was not very stable. This had something to do with his personality, but when he became serious, Meng Tian’s team would have double Earth-rank strength. Coupled with Meng Tian’s frost Ability X, they could easily settle the numerous troublesome missions that came about.

With regards to the sudden appearance of Xie Yu Xin, the team had a conflict of opinions internally.

“This person seems a bit strange. He has a really powerful spiritual power.”

Yuan Jing wrinkled his brows. When Xie Yu Xin had come, he had tried to use his Ability X to lock on to Xie Yu Xin, but the result was unsettling. It felt as if punching into thin air – there was an empty feeling like his tensed consciousness had suddenly fallen off of a cliff.

“But, his proposal to work together… I don’t agree with it,” Mengha stated with much obscurity. Facing a situation of life and death, especially in chaos, they had already experienced much betrayal. Would this person, an unfamiliar schoolmate who had suddenly appeared, be reliable?

What was more was that it was in their university days and the other party had transferred to another school quite quickly. Who would know what he had been doing over so many years? Moreover, he had appeared here, somewhere that normal people would not appear at.

From what he could see, Xie Yu Xin was either hiding something or pretending to be someone he wasn’t. However, he had no evidence. That Xie Yu Xin had self-declared that he had no team and was always alone.

Was that possible?

This was a world of death!

Travelling solo?

No matter what, he did not seem like he had the qualifications to!

Tearing up at the sight of an old friend?

This was not a good enough description for Meng Tian’s current feelings. This was truly a sliver of hope in this unending darkness.

“How did you end up here? This is simply…” Meng Tian had slightly lost her demeanour. It was not just because she had seen Xie Yu Xin, but also because she had thought of Wang Zheng.

Xie Yu Xin, on the other hand, was very calm. He smiled slightly. “I did not expect to run into you either. I had to follow you for aw hile before I could confirm that it was you. It has really been a long.”

“Yes. I remember you went to Aslan, and after that, there was no more contact.”

Xie Yu Xin nodded his head. “That’s right, I went to Elite Academy X, the same school as Wang Zheng. That fellow is now doing very well, but we can talk more about this later. I was also accidentally sent here. Elite Academy X has been researching the Saint World, and I was one of the participants. Actually, the Milky Way Alliance also wanted to focus on this, but they had no leads.”

“I’m afraid that there might have been disruptions from the internal division as well”

Xie Yu Xin lightly smiled. “This is just an old habit of humans, nothing new about that. I incidentally received an invitation, so I came in slightly earlier than you all. Truthfully, when I came in at first, I also had a shock. I did not expect there to be such a tremendous organisation within the Milky Way Alliance.”

“What do they really want? To put in so much effort, it could not just be to make us improve. If it’s about training soldiers of the dead, this method would not work either,” Meng Tian mentioned.

Xie Yu Xin nodded. “I have already heard of your situation. Owning such skills and strength, you probably would not be concerned over this. This world seems to have already existed for a long time. This should be their base for experimentation. They are doing some sort of experiment, and although I’m not sure what, they have a huge purpose.”

“What we need to do now is leave here. Do you have any ways?” Meng Tian asked. Her team’s condition was not at its best.

Xie Yu Xin gave a slight smile. “The way to leave is clear, and it is not really much of a big secret, but with our current capabilities, it is practically impossible. All we can do now is stay alive!”

Xie Yu Xin stretched out his elbow. On it, there was a mark, but the wristband had already been removed.
