Tempest of the Stellar War

“D*mn me, must he really be so arrogant? Dominator…”

“I’m not exaggerating, that’s what he’s called. Pampas’ ability is rumored to be creation, but to what extent he can materialize creations is unknown. But what we know is that the 4 of them are already starting to carry out missions. They’re different from us.”

Professionally speaking, they had already made their debut, while they were still studying.

“Besides him, what kind of abilities do the other 3 have?” Wang Zheng asked. Creation… part of the copy abilities or something? It felt rather exaggerated, but in the end the clincher was the practical control. But seeing as it was him, it would not be anything weak. The more variations an ability had, the harder it was to control. But once mastered, these variations would be hard to predict.

The cycle of the 5 minor element’s ability X were easy to shape into killing blows but were limited in application. Thus their variations were too little, and were not like the specialized abilities which could achieve unimaginable results. As luck would have it, Wang Zheng was of that sort. Whether it was Ice, Fire, or Wind, they were all basic powers. No matter how you played around, they could not change much.

“The Black Tortoise Region, Hu Kan, the first in Black Tortoise. He’s known for having an invulnerable body of gold. His ability X allows him to merge with physical materia, to become an impenetrable defense. No matter what type the attack, he can stop it. In terms of mecha usage, he’s by far the first in the Academy.”

“That guy wouldn’t be the descendant of the Tortoise God, would he? And special powers as well.” Zhang Shan asked curiously. “Has nobody ever broken it?”

“Of course not, otherwise he would not be qualified to be called one of the top 4 experts. The four of them have never lost a public match before, and these two are the weaker ones among the top 4.” Majgull said.

They were stunned. D*mn, they had already been praised so much, and were still weak. Then how were they to take on the strong ones?

“Vermillion Bird Region’s number one, Hocatolin, nicknamed Vermillion Bird’s King. Aslan Empire’s super-strong member, and I think he possesses the fire and wood affinities out of the 5. His ability is not particularly niche, but his mastery of these abilities have already reached unimaginable levels.”

“Inferno… isn’t that pretty common? Can one become a pro like that?”

Majgull smiled. “I don’t really know. Honestly, I’ve just heard the fables as well. The 4 of them very seldom appear at the college, let alone fight. Vermillion Bird Region is always full of pros, and the big empires are always fighting intensely. If a rumor isn’t true, then the person spreading them will be quashed soon enough. Since it’s spread so far, then there’s no doubt.”

Wang Zheng nodded. “Ability X each have their strengths. It doesn’t mean that specialized powers are always better. Much depends on the usage and one’s mastery.”

“Wang Zheng is right. The most terrifying out of the top 4 is White Tiger Region’s Marzu Van Hydra. An Arbiter…” As he said this, everyone immediately looked towards Oli.

As an Arbiter, Oli could not possibly not know him.

“Arbiter’s leader, nicknamed Despot. His ability is unknown, but whoever faces him is doomed. His fighting style is cruel.”

“Oli, you can’t not know him. Both of your names have a “Van” in it.” Zhang Shan asked, although he had no clear idea of Arbiter’s naming system.

Oli nodded. “Marzu is Olivios’ elder brother.”

Immediately everyone froze. What kind of crazy family was this? It almost seemed like they should just concentrate at the zoo.

“By blood?”

Oli nodded. “Brother by blood. Marzu is older than Olivios by 4 years.”

Zhang Shan looked at Wang Zheng. It looked like Wang Zheng would have his hands full. Meeting the little one had been enough of a headache. To think there was a bigger one.

“What about his abilities? Seems like not many know.”

“Marzu is the Space Despot’s successor and protégé. Given his standards, it would be rare for him to use his ability X against humans.”

Oli said.

“Successor. Keke, this is too vague. Oli, how far are you from Marzu in terms of skill?” Zhang Shan asked a more practical question.

Oli was a little ashamed. “I’m dumb, just a beginner. Marzu and Olivios are much better than me. There’s no basis for comparison.”

Everyone had seen what Oli was capable of, and this made them even more fearful.

Was Olivios’ brother going to rule the Elite Academy?

Majgull’s introduction had killed off the competitive spirit and dreams of everyone. Against such opponents, there was simply no hope.

“I just got good news for us. I heard from the Xuan Grade side that these 4 are seeded candidates, and will be separated…” Eisen said.

“D*mn, there are only 5 prizes. They have already occupied 4. There’s just one left, and there’s still countless Xuan Grade pros, and Olivios and Wang Zheng to go up against. I’m screwed.” Zhang Shan was exasperated. He had wanted to try his luck, but it seemed like it was really going to be just a joyride now.

“Ah, are you still dreaming, deep down?” They looked curiously at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan shrugged. “We all have to dream a little to be happy. Perhaps heaven will drop a meat pie straight on my head.”

Wang Zheng was happy hearing this. He had not had this feeling for a while now. His ability X needed to be completed, if not he would not pass at all. Such a sense of risk felt refreshing.

Seeing the gleam in Wang Zheng’s eyes, Zhang Shan knew he was the classic rise to the occasion kind. However, he was a little dispirited after hearing the news. He had thought his sudden awakening would be displayed well, but who would have known he would be shut down so hard.

But Zhang Shan was not too despairing. His goal was to learn and present himself, not to compete against monsters.

The school would not change the class schedule for such activities. Most people were distracted in class, especially logic classes. But Wang Zheng was still listening with great gusto. Actually in the college, logic was the most important one. Perhaps it was not immediately digestible, but in the days to come, there would be ample time and opportunity to deal with them. This was the greatest treasure.

To some, the Old Mentor’s classes were not compulsory, and they had started to play truant. It was just some overblown treatises and historical stories. Those still present were perhaps just whiling away the time.

Wang Zheng was listening to them with great interest. They were even more intriguing than the physical education classes conducted by Li Poshan. The explanation of the 5 affinities was nothing new to Wang Zheng. More important was the usage of ability X. And Old Mentor was always going on about the source of strength and its nature.

What people were, what power was, the meaning of life…

Such questions held no interest for the impetuous youngsters, but Old Mentor’s goal was not to arouse their interest now. It was simply to leave an impression. That would be sufficient.

The mecha competition was a more realistic thing. Once it came about, it immediately captured everyone’s attention. Old Mentor had not felt anything in particular as well, even giving everyone more time to prepare. The school took this competition fairly seriously as well. It was not just the Milky Way colleges that were coming, and the school wanted to evaluate the standard of this cohort as well.

Such a chance was rare to come by.
