Chapter 709: Split-second Kill

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

From the side, Gail was whooping and cheering, egging Wang Zheng on. Ling Luoyu and Mo Ling hurried hurriedly held him back.

“Grandpa, are you even looking at the situation? Wang Zheng is no match for Zhao Zhenjian.”

“Who says you can only cheer when you have a chance of winning? I just like the way this guy welcomes difficulties head on.” Gail puffed. “What do you two young wenches know? Your eye for people is still lacking.”

Gail took on the age-experience stance, and dismissed Ling Luoyu and Mo Ling out of hand.

Wang Zheng rode out on the Snow Goddess. The crowd muttered, evidently thinking that Wang Zheng was about to disgrace the mecha.

Zhao Zhenjian’s Icy Rose mech activated as well. The corner of his mouth twitched. All the momentum was with him now. He would teach this little brat a lesson today!

As the Icy Rose suddenly charged towards Wang Zheng, the entire arena was filled with chilly air. Ability X?

Zhao Zhenjian was surprised. Was he trying to show off in front of the master himself?

This brat’s ability could only make a thin sheet of ice on the floor. Was he trying to make him slip?

Did Wang Zheng think this was a child skating?

A joke!

The Icy Rose mecha was completely unaffected. Rising in midair, it poured on the frost like an avalanche. Given Zhao Zhenjian’s B rank Frost ability, one’s body would instantly freeze if the opponent was of a lower rank.

Against such small-fry opponents, Zhao Zhenjian felt there was just no challenge.

And the Snow Goddess sat there as if petrified, only raising its head.

This...

Was Wang Zheng trying to pull his leg?

But in that instant, the entire arena fell silent...

Frozen...

Following the gaze of the Snow Goddess, the Icy Rose mecha had been completely iced over in an instant, becoming a huge glacial statue that clattered in front of the Snow Goddess.

From start to end, the Snow Goddess had not moved.

Under the bright lights, the Icy Rose mecha looked vivid.

Marzu and the rest narrowed their eyes. ... How was this possible...

From the start of the battle, Wang Zheng had not said a single word. He just stared at the sky.

Old Zhuo, rest easy!

He would continue to walk his path as he saw fit.

The alarms rang. This was a scenario where the mecha pilot’s life was at risk. The paramedic mechas had already rushed over, but... the ice wall could not be cut open...

Wang Zheng’s gaze returned to the present. With a wave of the Snow Goddess’ hand, the iceberg exploded. The medical personnel all shuddered in the cold, then hurriedly rushed in to extract Zhao Zhenjian.

A C rank Ability X user had actually beaten a higher rank user of the same affinity.

This was unnatural!

Those who had just been muttering were all silent now. What power was this?

Lear’s face was especially ugly. After persevering and improving himself for so long, he had finally come out of Wang Zheng’s shadow, but it had not been long, and Wang Zheng was already...

In terms of direct control, a C rank ability freezing a B rank ability was not possible, but Wang Zheng’s mastery of frost was already way above Zhao Zhenjian. The frost power that Zhao Zhenjian’s Ability X had gathered had been used by Wang Zheng.

This was the final mastery.

Marzu and the rest saw the disbelief mirrored in each other. This was... something only Earth Grade was capable of!

The same thought had occurred to Jiang Feng. This was impossible. No one had ever heard of a C rank ability user attaining such revelations.

In the quiet mood, a bellow was suddenly heard. Zhang Shan had leaped directly out of his chair. “Do you see that, scrubs? This is Wang Zheng’s power, you trash!”

Zhang Shan had long been irritated by the dratted chatter around him. A bunch of trash. How dare they doubt Wang Zheng when they themselves were rubbish.

As for their anger, Zhang Shan was completely unfazed. If looks could kill, then no one would come to Elite College.

The doubt definitely lingered. When Princess Huiyin lifted her head to applaud, the applause followed, but many students still did not comprehend what had just happened.

At this moment, Jiang Feng stood up from the main stage. “Let me explain. The first wave of ice from Snow Goddess just now was merely a preliminary test, controlling the space within the ice wall. And when the Icy Rose made its move, his Ability X was completely within Wang Zheng’s grasp. This phenomenon is what the textbooks call “Stealing from the Heavens”.

In that instant, there was an uproar from everybody, whether live or through broadcast.

Stealing from the Heavens was the most terrifying level of repression. It meant that as long as the opponent was of the same affinity as you, and the rank difference did not exceed by more than two, one would be reduced to a helpless baby against an opponent that could do so.

“I heard that there is no exit from the abyss hinterland. Think about it. Major General Li Yizhuo has been inside for more than 10 years without coming out until Wang Zheng appeared. No matter how powerful Wang Zheng is, he can’t bring someone along as well. Perhaps he helped to stop the worms’ attack...”

Suddenly, they realized a problem. Major General Li Yizhuo was already advanced in years and was 50 plus. And spending such a long time in the abyss was damaging to one’s body. He had already been withered beyond recognition...

Suddenly the mood changed, and a majority were in support of Wang Zheng.

Only, Wang Zheng did not care. He would use this victory to honor Old Zhuo. He would not bury all that Old Zhuo had taught him in the abyss.

Moreover, he would teach it to Snow Li and the rest. Old Zhuo was of the Hail Cloud Alliance. This was also their heritage.

For the qualifiers, nobody had predicted this outcome, or the process that had led to it.

Closely following, the next match was Hocatolin against Redington. Lear alone remained in an incomparably foul mood. He had completely felt Wang Zheng’s greatness. Although he had confidence in himself as well, but inexplicably when facing Wang Zheng, he always felt that he could only win when he already had an advantage. He had thought that Wang Zheng was already wasted. How had his control of Ability X sudden improve by such leaps and bounds in such a short time?

To be capable of pulling off what he did just now, his understanding of the frost ability must be fairly high... Could it be Li Yizhuo’s teachings?

That old guy who just could not die. When he died, he still continued to be a presence.

Although he kept a smile on his face, but he was thinking of something else entirely. He could not let Wang Zheng get the runic mecha.

Redington did not care about Wang Zheng anymore. It was time for his battle. If he defeated Hocatolin, he would be the new god!

Redington was full of confidence. A similar elemental B rank ability, and Frost beat Fire. He was not afraid!

But the match had commenced for barely 5 minutes, and Redington was being beaten by Hocatolin like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Attack?

He could barely defend.

Control?

He had truly been conceited. Any type of control was contextual. Their understanding of Ability X was completely on a different level. With Hocatolin’s level of control, he only had to use 50% power to send Redington rolling on the floor. And Redington’s greatest problem was his physical condition. At the level of the top 4, each’s physical constitution was excellent, and their battle experience profound. This was actual battle, not a practice.

In battle, these things translated to an enormous advantage. Before long, Redington had been cleaved apart by Hocatolin.

Redington’s dreams of winning the battle group popped like a bubble.

What Redington could not bear was that his opponent and the audience had no reaction at all. Because in their eyes, he was but second fiddle, and the outcome was obvious. His prancing and capering was clownish.

Even Snow Li and her friends did not have the heart to laugh at Redington. Even if he was once cool, this was the difference between people.

Hocatolin’s thoughts were completely not on this battle. His opponent was Wang Zheng.

As for Wang Zheng’s appearance, Hocatolin was very happy that he was not a pushover. If the opponent was too weak, then the battle had no meaning.

Stealing from the heavens?

Sounded interesting. He wanted to see how Wang Zheng would steal his ability.

Princess Huiyin must have some hero-worship feelings. Everybody knew that she loved the arts, and took a liking to the weak and vulnerable. Wang Zheng was plagued by difficulties and hardships, and yet he could not die. He had ability as well, and definitely stimulated attraction for the princess. Just like how one developed a taste for bland tofu after eating too much rich food.

Therefore, with one battle, Wang Zheng was back in form.

Among all the abilities, only fire had no limit.
