Tempest of the Stellar War

“Oh, kid. You have quite the imagination. However, one needs to be down to earth in learning. It is still too far to think about it now. Let’s keep this topic in view. What we are going to talk about now will be…”

Old Mentor skipped over this topic and continued with the discovery and development of Ability X. In the early days, Ability X users didn’t had good days. With more and more people able to use Ability X and the fact that the ability could be controlled, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The geniuses in the classroom started to get impatient. How would these stories help them in raising their strength?

In just a short while, there were people who were distracted and sleeping. Old Mentor continued to teach seriously. He might have taught about these many times before.

They finally managed to last till the end of the class. Almost everyone ran out like a swarm of bees. Old Mentor was known to be a nice old man in Elite Academy. However, since the things he taught were also the most useless, he was considered by many as the Dawdling Professor. Considering his age, he would probably be only suitable to give a lecture on these documentary-like things and treat it as retirement.

Wang Zheng did not have a notebook or something similar. As compared to recording, it would be better to just remember it. Although Old Mentor was talking about the causes and development history of Ability X, it was nonetheless a self-correction process humans had on Ability X.

He seemed to be trying to convey something.

“Teacher, could I ask you a question?” Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to leave.

A few people saw Wang Zheng taking the initiatives to ask questions and were ridiculing him. Clearly, this type of teacher’s pet wasn’t well received. It was especially so when he was asking Old Mentor. Old Mentor was just a broken record in their perspectives.

Seeing that Wang Zheng wanted to ask a question, Old Mentor did not make any special expression. “Is there anything that you still aren’t clear on about what I talked about just now?”

“Nope, I wanted to ask about what you said previously. Could being more self-conscious help to improve one’s Ability X?” asked Wang Zheng.

Old Mentor was stunned and he smiled gently. “Did I mention anything about self-consciousness?”

“Yes. You said that Ability X is the awakening of one’s self-consciousness,” said Wang Zheng.

Old Mentor smiled. “Hehe, you are interesting. I am only responsible for lecturing about the history of Ability X’s development. To put it bluntly, it was to tell a story. It would be great if you all loved it. As for raising one’s Ability X, you have to go for lectures of others mentors.”

After finishing his sentences, Old Mentor took his briefcase and left.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He was very interested in the things that Old Mentor had said. It was just that the other party didn’t seem interested in him.

As for how others would look at him, he had zero interest in it. The classes in this place weren’t packed. The emphasis was on efficiency and self-learning.

Wang Zheng also learnt from Zhang Shan that Achilles had arrived. However this brat had gone to the Vermillion Bird Region through unknown means and wasn’t in the Azure Dragon region. Zhang Shan seemed envious of it as though the atmosphere in Vermillion Bird Region was the best. This also meant that Achilles’ Family still had some means.

The new round of competitions had started. During the last IG, Wang Zheng was leading the way. However he knew that Lear’s and Achilles’ personalities would mean that they wouldn’t concede defeat easily unless their lives had ended.

It was the case for him too.

After eating a simple lunch, he started to prepare for the lessons in the afternoon. It was a lesson that all Ability X users would pay much attention to: Ability X Control. The objectives of the class were to increase the distribution and control of one’s Ability X.

This was a huge class and there were many students taking the class and it was a class that combined lectures and practicals.

The teacher of the Ability X Control class was Jiang Feng and he was a real pro. His class was also well known in Elite Academy. He looked like he was just over 40 years old and was in tip-top condition. He would only have one class each month. Legends had it that his battle prowess would place him in the top 500 in Elite Academy.

There was a battle force ranking within Elite Academy X. This wasn’t open to public. The ranking had existed since the starting of Elite Academy. In the past, it was only internal information. With the occurrence of some international events, this reference information had then been known by others. Nonetheless, the internal information was still known only by a minority of people and its scope covered the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Every single person who entered the Elite Academy X, regardless if they were currently in the school, had graduated, or even had been expelled, would be given a file. Unless the person was dead, anyone who had reached a certain level of strength would have his/her own battle force and achievement file. This was also a form of control on the super pros by the Milky Way Alliance and was classified as highly secret. Battle force was determine by individual strength, battle force with mecha and one’s ability to handle different situations. Consolidating the scores of different aspects, the individual would be given a battle force ranking. The elites of the Elite Academy X had been distributed across the Milky Way Alliance over the years. Many of them had even become unquestionable leadership figures.

This ranking system had always been in existence and was updated constantly. There was only 10,000 people worthy to be recorded in the system. These 10,000 people were all definitely pros, with each of them being selected from millions more. Those who could squeeze into the top 1,000 could be considered to be “dangerous” personnel. As for the top 500, they were basically important personnel in various countries.

Obviously Jiang Feng had his own occupation. He belonged to the headquarters of Milky Way Alliance and was mainly responsible for Elite Academy X. However, teaching was only his secondary project. He was considered to be a guest professor. Therefore, when he wanted to start a class, he would always be able to attract countless students. They weren’t just freshmen. Some higher level students would also appear even though what Jiang Feng taught might not be things that were very deep or were even some very basic things. Nonetheless, there weren’t a lack of people who were here to see their idols.

He had a height of 1.8 meters and looked gentle from the outside. The difference between Old Mentor and him was just like the difference between heaven and earth. Although he was said to be over 40 years old, one couldn’t tell at all. What everyone could see was just a handsome, sharp and unparalleled elite model.

Wang Zheng had not expected there would be so many people… the classroom that could accommodate 200 people was filled to the brim. Half of them were girls. Did they have to be so crazy? One wouldn’t know if they were here for learning or looking for a rich boyfriend.

Zhang Shan would definitely not miss such a lesson. Lear and the rest had also come. It was a rare opportunity for Jiang Feng to appear. This might be a lesson that was opened specifically for freshmen.

When he arrived, Jiang Feng was able to attract everyone’s eyes. Looking at the whole class, Jiang Feng laughed. “I have always felt that I could consider myself to be young and successful. Seeing everyone now makes me feel that this world belongs to all of you.”

Instantly, screams and applause erupted. Student Zhang Shan was speechless. “Damn, this guy sure knows how to get on the good side of others. Is he really as powerful as what the legends say?”

“There wouldn’t be any weakling with such a level of fame,” said Wang Zheng. Disregarding everything else, the other party’s Ability X grade would definitely be extraordinary.

It might be because he wasn’t an official teacher, the style of Jiang Feng’s lesson was a little more casual. Making reference to some of the interesting things that happened when he was still a student, he could always cause laughter among the students. The things he said were also very reasonable and didn’t talk about things that were too profound and hard to understand using his status as the teacher. For the students of Huang Classes, they would have to first learn the overarching topics.

“In a battle, it is extremely important to allocate Ability X reasonably. We have to be thrifty with our ability usage. It is roughly similar to a kid being the manager of a poor household. When I was young, my family situation was very bad. Therefore, I have cultivated the habit of thriftiness since young and therefore I was also very stingy in the use of my ability.” Jiang Feng laughed.

“Everyone has their own understanding about Ability X. A lot of people probably prefer to release everything at one go to defeat the opponent. My understanding is that if you can make your opponent do it while you only spend a little to counter them, you will be in a position where you can’t lose. This is because there will always be more options in defending than in attacking. Obviously, what I have provided is just a form of understanding. Choices in battle differ based on individuals. Since everyone is here, there’s no harm in trying this idea out. The opportunities and conditions here are just right, so why not?”

One had to admit that Jiang Feng’s view was very reasonable. No matter what you specialised in, once you were here, there would always be opportunities to learn more. This was also a form of battle experience.

How far one could see would decide how high one could go.

Jiang Feng extended out a finger and a force of the “Wind” was created on the finger. “Everyone has an attribute that they specialised in. What I will be teaching everyone today is how to improve one’s micro control using high frequency changes in the emission of your ability.”

The small gust of “Wind” on his finger started to change magically on his finger. There were wave-like, rotating shapes, and various delicate forms. It quickly changed to a crazy form that resembled a fast and fierce electric drill.

Instantly, the whole class went silent. Everyone was an Ability user and had an idea how to control Ability X. The strength that Jiang Feng had demonstrated wasn’t strong at all. However his control had reached close to perfection.

“Once you can control your own ability’s emission frequency, you will possess infinite possibilities. This is not only a method of training, it can also create more battle techniques and make it difficult for your opponent to handle you,” said Jiang Feng with fervour and assurance.

There were no longer chattering for the rest of the lesson as everyone was listening to the lecture attentively. Wang Zheng was very happy. He had finally seen a brand new world, a brand new power and many strong people. There was never a lack of geniuses in the world of humans. It was especially so since they were in the Interstellar Navigation era. With such a large population, fortuitous encounters weren’t uncommon. Everyone had their own destiny and the strong that was born from it was known as hero!

Everyone in the class wanted to become part of this group of people.

What Jiang Feng had taught today was a training method for changing one’s Ability X frequently. As for how one could derive new techniques, the teacher could only lead his students and the students had to work hard themselves to achieve it.

There was no wonder why there was so many people here today. The charisma of the teacher was indeed really strong and he could use various ways to make his students willingly enter the world he guided them towards.

Even Zhang Shan’s space Ability could benefit from him. His space Ability was lacking in its ability to change its form and shape. The ability was terrifying but honestly speaking, it was weak in real battle. If he couldn’t use his ability, he would be no different from a normal person. Increasing and strengthening it would be his first priority.

After the theoretical lessons had ended, it was the practical lesson. The facilities of Elite Academy X were undoubtedly very comprehensive. There were various devices for training Ability X and one could use different methods based on the classification of one’s ability. If it was to be divided into finer categories, the selections would still be astonishing.

For example, there were various perception devices for perception-type abilities. There were also matching devices for the regular 5 abilities belonging to the 5 cycles.

The theory was easy but the real challenge had yet to arrive. Everyone already had their own habits in using their Ability X. Some of them like to release everything at one go while some would split the usage into several uses. Controlling the frequencies of the Ability X quickly was quite difficult. It was as though one was forced to use their left hand to write when you were already used to using their right hand.
