Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 739 - Relentless

One had to admit that sometimes people ended up doing unexpected things. Take the trashy Yan Xiaosu for example. It would be an exaggeration to claim that the Earth Grade expert could murder him with just a fart, but at the same time murdering him would probably require as much effort as raising a hand. However, this coward who was usually afraid of death actually gathered the courage to sneak over here – this was truly something that no one would have expected.

On the way back, he b.u.mped into Lie Xin and the others. The giants, on the other hand, were really too obedient. w.a.n.g Zheng instructed them to stay, and they sincerely complied. Perhaps they were a little too honest in this case.

Achilles and Lie Xin were shocked that w.a.n.g Zheng managed to defeat an Earth Grade expert. They both believed that this would have been possible only if the three of them worked together, yet w.a.n.g Zheng managed to do it alone.

While w.a.n.g Zheng did not manage to get the kill, what he achieved was still shocking. At the level that his opponent was at, if he truly wanted to escape, it would have been Superly difficult to stop them.

Without any delay, w.a.n.g Zheng was sent to the hospital. The entire t.i.ta Star was in total chaos either way. It seemed like an irreversible event had occurred. Many big cities imposed emergency measures and s.p.a.ce ports were placed on lockdown. People who were entering and leaving had to go through a stringent interrogation process. If anyone was to come across a man with broken arms, they were to report to the police immediately.

A broken arm was unfortunately not that big of a deal to an Earth Grade a.s.sa.s.sin.

Even more so, all of t.i.ta Star sincerely hoped that the a.s.sa.s.sin left as soon as possible and never returned again.

Rara Durai and the others looked at Yan Xiaosu in a new light. Honestly speaking, they could not really sense any strength from Yan Xiaosu at all. Their respect for him was originally due to his connection with w.a.n.g Zheng, but they did not expect that the feeble looking Yan Xiao Su was actually bold enough to face that devil head on. This left a favorable impression on the giants, and now their respect for Yan Xiaosu was entirely genuine.

As for Tyrant Su, once he got to the hospital he immediately lay down. his stomach and legs were trembling

non-stop and his entire body was drained of all energy.

“Zisu, am I dying? If I die, remember to send my ashes back. Oh right, if it’s possible, could you burn a couple more pictures of pretty girls for me? Sigh, I am so young, yet I am not able to leave behind a descendant for the Yan family. Right, tell Old Yan to give birth to another child I guess.”

Ye Zisu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Her eyes were slightly swollen. It was apparent that the situation involving those two had frightened her. They were the most important people in her life after all.

“You Fatty, good people don’t pay with their lives while bad people live for a thousand years. Death won’t come so easily to you.”

“But I have no energy left – I feel like my soul has left my body. That Earth Grade expert used a big move on me. I’m just an ordinary guy after all. Maybe I’m just experiencing terminal lucidity right now? You don’t have to lie to me, I’m actually not that afraid of dying.” Yan Xiaosu continued to mumble.

“If you continue to be so long-winded, I’ll beat you to death and call it Aday.” Ye Zisu could not resist being amused by Yan Xiaosu, “Doctor, you tell him.”

A group of doctors approached. “Mr Yan, we gave you a complete checkup. You only sustained some minor injuries. Your b.u.t.tocks suffered slightly heavier damage and your tailbone sustained a small fracture. You will recover after no time after undergoing some treatment.”

“But why do I feel so weak and why does everyone seem to be floating around me?” Yan Xiaosu replied.

The moment he finished his sentence, Tyrant Su’s stomach started to growl.

The true reason was that… he was just hungry.

The people of t.i.ta were all waiting outside. Mu Sen, Khalifa and the other elders; the giants with Rara Durai leading them were all there. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief only when it had been confirmed that w.a.n.g Zheng was not in any mortal danger.

In the past, Mu Sen seemed to be a little excessive in praising w.a.n.g Zheng’s abilities. While the rest of the government did not seem to have much of an opinion, there was still occasional discomfort regarding this matter, especially when it came to the distribution of control over the Super Gravity Energy Ore. However, Khalifa and the others now developed new-found admiration for w.a.n.g Zheng. As Mu Sen’s most loyal supporter, Khalifa also drummed up support among the others. The emergence of an a.s.sa.s.sin that could effortlessly defeat a t.i.tan indeed had a big impact on the mentality of the people of t.i.ta. In their eyes they truly believed that the t.i.tans were unrivalled. They once a.s.sumed that humans were over-dependent on their mecha, and never expected them to be so strong even without their mecha after all. Joining the Milky Way Alliance wasn’t the end – it was just a new beginning after all.

From a particular point of view, it made perfect sense for mankind to govern the Milky Way Alliance. Their level of know-how and civilization was indeed at a stage where it was hard for other civilizations to reach.

w.a.n.g Zheng was stuffed in a pod. This was the most advanced regenerative technology that t.i.ta Star had at the moment. In actual fact, w.a.n.g Zheng’s condition was not bad at all. The main thing was that his burst of Primordial Regression Technique did not push him overboard fatally. If Yan Xiaosu did not appear at that moment, the situation would have been far more dire. However, Yan Xiaosu’s timely appearance seemed to have quelled his inner demons completely. Tyrant Su was truly a panacea in this scenario.

Everyone led different lives, and fate could work in mysterious ways sometimes. This had nothing to do with skill or ability. Some people continue to screw up throughout life, and Yan Xiaosu was a perfect example of someone like this.

Yet in this battle, he was a hero as well.

Rara Durai and his followers desperately wanted to become stronger, for they could not always rely on Ada to save them. As the guardians of t.i.ta Star, Rara Durai and Shan Meng felt a slight sense of guilt. When did the giants become so useless?

“Your honour, I believe that we should hasten our selection process. We need to choose the best warriors to form an elite squad.” Shan Meng suggested. He had been getting stronger recently as well.

Rara Durai nodded, “I’ll leave it to you then. Send out a decree to all of t.i.ta’s tribes. Announce that we will organize a nation-wide warrior’s compet.i.tion in order to select the most fearsome warriors. The winners’ tribes will obtain a great prize.”

There was actually no need to incentivize such an event at all. After all, the giants of t.i.ta only had one pastime – fighting.

Alas, the brutish battle methods of the past were insufficient to protect t.i.ta any longer. It was necessary for Rara Durai to make some changes.

After Yan Xiaosu realised he was perfectly alright, he calmed down and gorged himself with food served by the pretty nurses attending to him. Seeing this, Ye Zisu left him to go check on w.a.n.g Zheng.

When she arrived, only Lan Ling was present. Lan Ling quietly watched w.a.n.g Zheng lying submerged in nutrient fluid. It seemed like their first meetings were always like this. The previous time was the like this as well. At least this time things were not that bad.

In fact, she would prefer if w.a.n.g Zheng’s arrivals would be uncomplicated and full of cheerful scenes free of any conflict instead of ones that were plagued by troubles. However, this seemed to be far too delusional a wish. It was not in Lan Ling’s nature to be involved in conflict, yet she had no choice but to get used to it. This was no longer just a matter of concern for the Lan family, but affected the entire t.i.ta Star as well. Only through perseverance and resolve could she prevent t.i.ta Star from degenerating into just a planet for others to mine. She would not let the people of t.i.ta be reduced to mere slave miners.

If only w.a.n.g Zheng could stay and help her develop t.i.ta Star.

Such a thought made Lan Ling blush.

Ye Zisu quietly closed the door behind her without Lan Ling noticing. Ye Zisu took a quick look at Lan Ling and immediately understood the situation. Girls tended to have an acute sixth sense after all.

“He would never slow down just for a girl.” Ye Zisu commented.

Lan Ling nodded, “I understood that the first time I met him. Perhaps we are just not the correct ones for him.”

The correct person? Who? Was it Aina?

Ye Zisu did not know the answer, but even Aina did not cause w.a.n.g Zheng to slow down. w.a.n.g Zheng would never be defined by his relations.h.i.+ps. If w.a.n.g Zheng were to ever slow down one day, perhaps he would lose all his charm as well.

People are full of such contradictions.

“Has Heaven been found?”

“We are approaching the matter systematically. A heavily wounded Earth Grade a.s.sa.s.sin is still far too much for us to handle. On this front, we need to invest more energy and time in order to ensure that a similar incident never happens again.” Lan Ling quietly replied.

Ye Zisu nodded. Be it Earth or t.i.ta Star, they were still far from matching up to these experts. Perhaps this was not true of all of Earth, but OMG’s knowledge was still inadequate, and they would be unable to find a solution if they encountered incidents like this.

w.a.n.g Zheng was currently in deep slumber within his pod, but the Primordial Regression Technique within his body continued to work. This was a significant battle for w.a.n.g Zheng. The Primordial Regression Technique had an intention to defy the rules to achieve greater power. While there was indeed a breakthrough and the 3rd stage was attained, it was still in an unstable state. If w.a.n.g Zheng was to keep to his ordinary routine and continue waiting, such power would gradually weaken to a stable level. However, this battle had boosted the Primordial Regression Technique to an improved level. Its capabilities had been upgraded, yet its core power and stability had been preserved as well.

If they were not limited to fighting on t.i.ta Star, w.a.n.g Zheng’s level of skill would have made it difficult for him to return in one piece after facing such an expert. If the Earth Grade expert truly wanted to kill him, the best outcome he could have hoped for was mutually a.s.sured destruction.

The most effective way to increase his strength was to engage in battle, so at least student w.a.n.g did not lose out entirely. Him not being dead nor permanently disabled naturally meant that he had profited from the incident.

Besides, there were two beauties worrying for him by his side.

Lan Ling and Ye Zisu did not utter a single word, and just quietly gazed… and gazed at w.a.n.g Zheng.

When Lear got wind of the news, he was truly stunned. The Earth Grade a.s.sa.s.sin failed and had to escape with heavy injuries?

Was this a joke?

“What about the customs of the underworld?”

“What do you mean, young master?”

“I took the first step and accepted your support, but you have failed to prove to me your worth. An Earth Grade a.s.sa.s.sin has been defeated by a Huang Grade student.” Lear’s voice was exceptionally calm, but there was a chilling quality to it. “Kill Heaven to prove to me that you all are of use.”

Lear shut off his Skylink. His expression was stifled due to a variety of reasons but he had no interest in that. Based on his understanding, since an Earth Grade a.s.sa.s.sin had failed his task, it was fairly obvious that he was as good as a pile of trash.

In spite of everything, w.a.n.g Zheng did not die either. Due to the fact that this incident involved the high authorities of various powerful empires, at this point of time the underworld started to keep a low-profile. In this period of time there would be n.o.body willing to accept a.s.signments related to t.i.ta Star anymore.

Lear did not know who was meddling with t.i.ta Star, but he sensed that the ones behind it had considerable power. He was merely riding on the coattails of others to achieve some his own goals, but failed to achieve anything in the end.

The people of t.i.ta played a brilliant move this time. The normal response here would be to cancel any further activities and protect their various consulates, but the people of t.i.ta were stubborn about continuing to operate even after such confusion. Lear even suspected that the ambush on the leaders was in fact arranged by the people of t.i.ta themselves. With such an uproar, Mu Sen and Lan Ling would be able to pressure the Milky Way Alliance, and there would definitely be strong ripple effects that would lead to the crisis being dealt with in a short amount of time.

In the face of such a brilliant maneuver, Lear could only go so far.

Lear was able to meet gains or losses with equanimity. His biggest strength was his ability to control his emotions. He readily accepted the conclusion to this matter, and for now all he intended to do was to increase his own power – this was the best move now. After all, w.a.n.g Zheng and the others would still have to fix the mess created by this incident. They would only understand the consequences of not focusing their attention on him after they return.
