530 Another Show

Meng Tian really wanted the chance to go to Elite Academy X, but her ability X was not sufficient. This left her a little disappointed. Training in the space troops was carefree, but perhaps a little too much so. If she simply wanted the glory of being a general, then this was a perfect match. But this was not what she wanted.

Although she was a girl, but Meng Tian's appetite for risk was deeply embedded in her personality.

One's starting point was a major deciding factor in one's future. IG was a clear dividing line. Those who had competed and those who had not were completely different. And Elite Academy X was another dividing line.

There was still time, but unless she could elevate her own ability X to C-rank within the short span remaining… only then could Meng Ao fight for a chance for her to take the test.

But it was clearly too difficult. Although Meng Tian had had the opportunity to fight in the IG main competition, but when things had gotten intense in the later stages, she was reduced to a mere spectator.

IG was a process where the standards and condition of each country's experts could be tested. Therefore, even in the troop, Meng Tian continued to maintain a high volume of training.

It had to be said that Meng Tian's arrival had brought a different atmosphere to the Mitor warship. The unmarried men on the ship had suddenly leapt into a frenzy, frantically trying to do well in front of Meng Tian. The effect on them when she wore her uniform was unimaginable. It was unclear how wearing a uniform helped a space troop in battle, but the cut was indeed flattering, and flaunted Meng Tian's slender figure in full.

It was a pity that Meng Tian was taking this all very patiently. A bunch of 'old men' who thought of nothing but romance.

The poor 30 year olds, the troops' elite, had been heartlessly reduced to the mere status of 'old men' by Meng Tian.

The Solar System Federation had not been involved in a large-scale war for a long time. They still had regular practice, but the feeling was their military power was highly inadequate. What kind of battle power could such a troop muster?

In IG, Meng Tian had witnessed the military situation of those empires like Arbiter and Aslan. They had an approach that advanced with sophistication. Attitude also drew the distance between military competence wider and wider.

As part of the revolutionary faction, her father was worried about this. Previously, Meng Tian had thought he worried too much, but now it seemed like he simply had the foresight to build their Rome in more than a day.

Such a situation would not change. If war broke out, the Solar System troops' military power was weak.

Not just big empires like Aslan, but even those like the Silver Snake Republic, Gemini Republic etc. were all big powers, holding an important position in the Milky Way Alliance.

After the day's training quota was reached, Meng Tian returned to her room for a bath, shrouding her alabaster figure in the heavy mist. She had not a shred of excess fat on her. Her slim, firm legs would drive people crazy even without high heels. Perhaps it was the Ice affinity that had changed her, infusing her body with beauty. But Meng Tian… only cared about such things when Wang Zheng was with her.

Absently fondling her slowly growing chest, Meng Tian was a little worried. An overdeveloped bosom would affect her movements. Growing pains.

Outside, her Skylink chirped. Meng Tian dried her hair off, and wrapped a towel. Who would be looking for her at this time?

She was taken aback with one look, hurriedly opening the Skylink, as though afraid the signal would disappear.

Wang Zheng's shape appeared. He had not thought too much about things like the time, simply calling to get through. Meng Tian appeared in just a towel, her hair still glistening. Her lovely legs, and breasts hinting through the towel. Wang Zheng felt his brain hum.

Of all the girls he knew, besides Aina, the only one he had had intimate contact with was Meng Tian. When their ability X had clashed, they had had a common feeling.

Meng Tian did not seem to catch on. "Wang Zheng, what's the matter? You…"

Wang Zheng caught himself spacing out, and coughed hastily to cover his embarrassment. "Meng Tian, it's like this. I found a secret application, it's about a virtual world…"

Wang Zheng sketched out the world of Saint briefly. "This seems to be classified as a dangerous type, and more details are hazy. You decide whether you want to try it or not."

But Meng Tian agreed without hesitating. If such a place existed, she had to test it out.

After they hung up, Meng Tian looked at the mirror, and realized… she had been teasing him in her underwear. She could imagine how he must have felt faced with a bashful but cold girl.

Switching off the Skylink with Wang Zheng, her heart was pounding as well. He had always resisted pretty girls well. Could he have finally succumbed?

Currently: Saint world – Saint level's Void Temple.

In the vast temple, there were only 4 people. Their attire was not the dull and drab clothing of those from the Disciple level. All 4 were richly adorned, almost like the kings of age. All wore masks.

One wore a fiery red mask – Jade. One wore a green devil mask – Famine. A gold crown mask – Mu. A blue Medusa mask – Rot.

The Void Temple in the Saint world could only be entered by saints. It was said that it contained the biggest secret in the Saint world. Once one entered, one would control an uncommon power.

"I heard a bunch of promising newcomers have come. This time it's my turn to have first pick. Don't snatch what's mine." The blue Medusa mask Rot said with a lazy drawl. He sounded young.

"It's the same every year, and it's always scrubs. The elders are always worried about this and that, but our Sanctuary has already risen to be unstoppable." The flame mask Jade was clearly a woman. Her voice did not sound young, but it was husky and sexy.

"I heard some were personally invited by the elders. Seems a little mysterious. Perhaps there really will be good ones."

"In these few years, only the Arbiter guy was not bad, too bad we couldn't use him."

"Keke, Mu, I hear your record's been broken. Knife Mountain Trial, 90m."

The gold crown mask Mu still had an emotionless expression. "Say that again when they enter the Saint level."

Mu eyed the empty place noncommittally. His figure slowly faded, disappearing from the Sanctuary.

"Mu is still as reckless as ever. It seems like he's very confident he will be chosen as the Master Saint." Famine's voice was pregnant with dissatisfaction.

"Keke, the 5 of us simply have a better shot. The elders are looking for the chosen one."

"Fate, my ass! Strength is the only determiner of fate!" Famine waved a fist, and his body disappeared too.

Only Jade and Rot were left now, and they looked at each other.

"Everyone is looking at the position of Master Saint. Jade, what say we ally?"

Jade's fiery mask seemed to come alive. She smiled and said. "I'm a woman. There's no need to consider me. The elders will not let me accede to the position of Master Saint."

"Keke, that's why you should choose someone who suits you."

"I think so too. Presently, I think Mu is suitable."

As she said thus, her body erupted in flames, and disappeared.

In the hall, only the Medusa mask Rot was left.

The prohibition had been broken, and the elders had been searching frantically for the destined Master Saint. It was rumored that they had a few candidates already, but what was fate?

This was a hurtful story.

The Medusa on the mask seemed to writhe. His eyes flashed with white light. When it faded, the great hall was empty.

The 5 of them already led the way, and stood the most chance. Once they found an expert, they would try all ways and means to attract them, and grow their own power. If they were not useful, then they would be disposed of, unless the opponent was strong enough to defend themselves.

…

Meng Tian had been enlightened early. Being an ability X user was testament to her talent. Her enlightenment had been smooth. She had clearly felt the changes in her body. Although the progress of her ability X had not been life-changing, but it was enough that the ability could be developed.

This was outrageous.

Perhaps this was a chance for her to fight side by side with Wang Zheng. She felt both happy and conflicted.

Wang Zheng had been invited by Yan Xiaosu out for supper at War Street One, a popular food street near the Ares College.

Tyrant Su was very happy. More accurately, he was euphoric. Previously, he had been stifled and goaded by Diana, even being backstabbed when he was down. But now things were looking up. He could hold his head high and breathe normally.

Tyrant Su had invited Ye Zisu, as well as his new girlfriend.

A bubbly young girl from Year 1, studying Finance in Shangjing University. Ever since An Mei, Yan Xiaosu had wanted to get serious, but felt like he was unable to. It seemed like feelings had passed him by.

One night, Tyrant Su and his new girlfriend were getting too lovey-dovey in front of Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu, causing them to protest non-stop. Regardless, Tyrant Su completely did not mind, saying, "Brother, I don't even mind if you cop a feel. After all, we practically grew up in the same pair of pants!"

As he said that, he kissed his new girlfriend, whose face had turned red with embarrassment, further taunting them.

"F*ck off, who's wearing the same pants as you! Tonight I'll teach you a lesson!"

But in the end they did not drink too much. Tyrant Su still had to send his new girlfriend back to school. He was a good boy.

Wang Zheng sent Ye Zisu back, while Yan Xiaosu sent Xiao Ya back to her door, smiling. "Thanks for your cooperation today. As expected of an actress. Professional. I'll put the expenses to your card later."

Xiao Ya batted her eyelids. "I think you're not a bad guy, really. What say we get serious?"

"Nice acting." Yan Xiaosu said casually. With a rumble, his magnetic hovercar raced off.

Wang Zheng had initially thought of giving the program to Ye Zisu and the rest. But after he had transferred it to Meng Tian, the sequence had frozen, and he could not transfer it. He would have to wait for the next time he spoke to Old Merchant.

But now that he thought about it, if it was too easily reproduced, it would have been exposed long ago.

To get hold of ancient arts and a high level of technology, what had Old Merchant gotten into…
