Tempest of the Stellar War

Wang Zheng was unwilling to speak any further. Such a pompous attitude had to be taught a lesson. The further away from home, the more necessary was it to become stronger. Earth needed to improve, be strong, and be glorious!

“Classmate Hocatolin, don’t be too proud. If three attacks are not enough, you can add a few more. We Earthlings are not that petty. Also, are you really a man? Why do you go around listening to that much gossip? That is something that only old ladies would do.” Wang Zheng mockingly laughed. If it was just a spar, it might be a little difficult. However, if it was a matter of life and death, he would not lose to anyone else.

Hydra was slightly shocked at the sight. This kid’s pretty brave, a mere Huang Grade student daring to be that arrogant in front of them.

Hydra’s Grand Tyrant retreated in an instant, opening up the battlefield for the two men. The Golden Wheel Battle King was an agility type mech, but it was a pity that Hocatolin completely outclassed it.

Hocatolin believed that he had been rather polite, yet this guy was still running his mouth and bickering with him, causing him to be unable to follow up his taunts. He was indeed immature, forgetting his position as soon as he had gained a little strength. This was fine too, he no longer had to hold back.

Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King had also completed his preparations. However, the Golden Wheel Battle King was not appropriate for a duel against such an expert. Golden Wheel Battle King was more suitable for a group battle, while the opponent’s Fifth Generation Tempest Condor was definitely a dueling mech. However, Wang Zheng had never found excuses for himself, and would not back down from a challenge.

He did not know if it was possible to win, but if someone had challenged him, his reply was to fight!

The two mecha were ready to go, and the Golden Wheel Battle King’s wheels had begun rotating at a high speed. As long as no one died, the academy was too lazy to interfere in such situations. However, due to this combat, Wang Zheng had a chance to be directly eliminated.

Hocatolin had no thoughts regarding Wang Zheng, as it had no relation to him. He was merely a little savage from Earth, an idealist who was struggling for the rise of Earth all the time. He did not oppose that though, but instead pitied him. The strength of one’s country had long surpassed the era where a single person could do anything.

Wang Zheng had seen the spar between the two previously. The opponent had not fired any shots, but it would no doubt be an overwhelming power. He began to focus all of his spiritual power, preparing to dispel the opponent’s Ability X at any instant, and was quietly confident in himself.

But right at this moment, a suffocating force directly pressed down on his head.

Wang Zheng had a nauseous feeling, and everything concerning his visual and auditory senses was being compressed.

Was this a special ability hidden by the opponent?

Wrong, no, this was just the suppression!

This was the absolutely dominant force that a B rank Ability X had. Wang Zheng had to spent a few seconds to clear his mind, but the initiative had already been lost.

This was the difference in strength, and the opponent had not even acted.

Hocatolin also frowned, he had not expected the other party to shake off his aura that quickly.

Right at this moment, a gust of air directly slammed towards his front, and the momentum created by Hocatolin disappeared instantly.

“Mars, what are doing?” Hocatolin coldly snorted

Hydra was still expressionless, but his eyes had turned serious. “Settle your stuff latter, something’s not quite right.”

Hocatolin’s face immediately changed. He was also quite familiar with the Abyss. When such a person like Hydra was serious, it meant that something major had happened.

Sure enough, the surrounding atmosphere was not quite right.

Hydra’s Grand Tyrant flipped open its shoulders, and two electromagnetic blasts shot towards the sky.

The distant sky exploded with a turbulent shockwave, and Wang Zheng also noticed that something was wrong.

The shockwave was completely irregular, as if it had been blocked by something dense. There… were hidden units!

A few seconds later, a large group of creatures appeared, suspended in mid-air.

A group of Abyss Zerg!

Hocatolin and Hydra were both aware of the seriousness of the situation. The abilities and tactics of the Abyss Zerg were unlike any other from the outside world. A ball-shaped transport type Zerg had blocked off the main path. They had not assumed that the Zerg would airdrop in invisible units, an it was no wonder that this area was clear of any Zerg traces.

Both Hocatolin and Hydra had chosen this spot was precisely because they had not wanted to be interrupted during their duel, yet they had never thought that they would be this lucky.

Wang Zheng also thought that his luck was a little erratic. Sometimes, not a single Zerg would appear, yet now a whole mass of them were here. He knew the fighting power of this Abyss Zerg. With the strength of all three of them, killing a few tens would not be an issue, but it would be another matter if there was a second evolution Zerg still in hiding.

Even an expert like Mars Hydra, when faced with such a situation, made a single judgment – retreat!

However, the ground trembled violently, and chunks of earth burst up. Such a situation all three of them had experienced before, there were tunneling Zerg under them.

“Split up, depend on yourselves!” Mars shouted out, his mech immediately withdrawing to the south. There was no need to think right now. Without the support of the military troops, a direct confrontation was an idiotic move.

Although his was an assault mech, his speed was rather surprising. His Ability X had also been activated, and the mech charged away at full speed.

At the very same instant, Hocatolin’s Tempest Condor turned into a phoenix, and sped away in a flash of red.

Wang Zheng cursed them in his heart. These Zerg were most likely attracted over due to their duel, yet he was the one implicated.

If he had known this would happen earlier, he would had piloted the Wind God. This crappy Golden Wheel Battle King was nowhere near as fast.

Wang Zheng’s reaction was of course not slower than those two, his Golden Wheel Battle King had already begun to shake the Zerg off.

The Zerg did not hesitate, and chased after him like a swarm of bees.

Although those invisible Zerg did not follow him, some of the Zerg that were capable of flying rushed over. From afar they looked like bees, but when they came near they looked like cows that had undergone plastic surgery. The ground started to churn, and one by one, the Zerg burrowed out, greedily looking at the Golden Wheel Battle King.

Wang Zheng’s golden wheels did not attack. It was clear that he had zero chance of mounting an offense. If there was even a single chance, he would definitely use it to run even further, and never to look back.

This was the first time that he had retreated so sloppily, but he was indeed powerless. He had already seen the durability of these Zerg back at the laboratory, and the creatures living in the Abyss would definitely be even more frightening. If there were a few tens of them, Wang Zheng might had taken a risk and fought, but there were over a hundred currently, and might even have a hidden second evolution class Zerg present, this was just courting death.

The Golden Wheel Battle King spent all its efforts on escaping. There was no need to feel embarrassed, as among all the skills, the ability to escape was still the most important. The faster one could run, the longer they could survive.

Wang Zheng had not expected to encounter such a situation. In terms of escaping, the Golden Wheel Battle King was indeed a little lacking, and the encirclement of the Zerg was getting closer.

There was no choice. As the Zerg inched closer, Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King had to start fighting in order to create a gap.

Whoosh…

A golden wheel shot out, and one of the Zerg emitted a short cry and was instantly shot down. However, it was instantly swallowed by the Zerg following right behind.

But Wang Zheng’s wheel had not been able to return.

This was the first time that Wang Zheng had actually fought against the Abyss Zerg in real combat, and it was entirely different from that in the World of Saints. He could no longer fire off the second wheel, else if he were to lose that, he would really have no methods left to resist the assault.

Wang Zheng could only continue running. In the face of life and death, it could bring out the strongest power hidden within. The Golden Wheel Battle King’s speed suddenly rose, this was a wind attribute Ability X!

The distance that had been gradually shortening was abruptly pulled apart. At the moment of life and death, the explosive talent of Wang Zheng was undeniable.

This was his newly created Gale Escaping Steps!

His Ability X had been synchronized to the movements of his feet, and as if there was an electric motor installed, The Golden Wheel Battle King was dashing through the air.

Just as Wang Zheng had the hopes of shaking of the Zerg, a warning appeared on the screen. D*mn, it was another invisible unit.

If he was travelling at his normal speed, Wang Zheng would have sufficient time to react, but this was just too late. Right in front of him, a gigantic Zerg had already opened its mouth, and the Golden Wheel Battle King drilled directly in headfirst, and there was only darkness… only at that instant, Wang Zheng took advantage of his quick reactions and shot out a wheel. This was probably the most outrageous strike that he had made in his whole life.

Mars and Hocatolin had already left the battlefield, and returned to report on the situation. Such a situation was not uncommon at the frontlines, but was indeed quite rare at the rear, approximately only two to three times each year. Having such luck in meeting with such a situation, both of them were aware that it was likely that their Ability X had attracted them over.

Jiang Feng had already passed on the information to the nearest unit, but it seemed that a student had already gone missing.

The red dot representing Wang Zheng had disappeared when he had been swallowed.

Wang Zheng’s identity was quickly found out, while at the same time Mars and Hocatolin had also made their report.

“At the time the situation was urgent, the three of us had fled in different directions. We are not aware of Wang Zheng’s current status.” Mars indifferently analyzed the report.

Hocatolin was also the same. This was not the first time that they had been on the battlefield. Such a thing as survival had to rely on oneself, no one would be your parents over here. They had not been in charge of looking after Wang Zheng. Moreover, under those circumstances, they also did not have a choice.

Jiang Feng also had a headache. This was not a good sign for them to have casualties. At the same time, he reminded all the students to stay away from the area where the Zerg had appeared. He was also helpless in such a situation, and Wang Zheng could only blame himself for his lacking skills. After all, under the same circumstances, Mars and Hocatolin had successfully escaped, but he had not.

Some may feel the Jiang Feng was heartless, but for these people who had seen many battlefields over the years, no matter if it was the death of others or their own, they had to place their feelings to one side. If one was concerned about every single death that happened, they would quickly be driven insane.

Of course, as a training program for students, Jiang Feng had to bear some responsibility for such a mess. However, this was an unexpected situation, and before entering the Abyss, all of them had been reminded multiple times that such dangerous situations might occur.

Although the staff present were not please, but they had also breathed a collective sigh of relief. The person named Wang Zheng was only a Huang Grade Class 7, and also did not have a significant background, hence it would not cause any major problems.

At this time, the surveillance staff were finally able to restore the final visual feed. Much of it had been damaged, but it could still be seen that the Golden Wheel Battle King had been swallowed up by the Zerg just as it was about to shake them off.
