One wouldn't know if it was because of Wang Zheng keeping a low profile or it was because Zhang Shan had been in the limelight for too long. They had initially thought that there would be people gathering into groups and challenging them in the Acolytes' level. However, nothing had happened.
There were differences in the style of buildings between the Disciples' level and the Acolytes' level. It seemed to be more ancient in the Acolytes' level. There was more silver lighting and this visual effect clearly had no value in the eyes of Wang Zheng. What he was more concerned with was the Cultivation Techniques available.
"Brother Charcoal, the most crucial thing to do at the Acolytes' level was to participate in the Cultivation Technique Trial to obtain the Cultivation Technique of the Acolytes' level. This would determine our future!"
Tentacles was both excited and nervous. Although he believed in taking things as they came, this was the easiest way to obtain the 16 Point Cultivation Techniques. If they couldn't get it this time, they would be finished. It would be extremely difficult to obtain it through different channels.
In the Acolytes' level, other than the regular trials, there were more Wilderness Trials such as various types of Bugs Trials. At the same time, the difficulty was much higher. The difference was that outside this place, humans had mecha. However they could only fight with their own body in this place as there were Cultivation Techniques in this place.
It was just that the majority of the people were used to relying on mecha. The feeling of fighting with their bodies was completely different.
Wang Zheng and Tentacles had reached the doorstep of the Cultivation Technique Holy Temple. This was welfare for the rookies. Tentacles had already started praying for God to give him a little more luck.
"Brother Charcoal, you could go first. There was still some time to my auspicious hour."
Tentacles was looking at the time. He had even bought a very expensive Bagua card and calculated an auspicious time to enter after considering his birth date, hour and his elemental affinity so as to increase his chances of getting a great Cultivation Technique.
This method was rather unreliable. However the World of Saints had practically proved that one couldn't disregard one's fate.
Wang Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. His goal was only the 16 Point Blade Technique.
After Wang Zheng entered the holy temple, there were a few more strangers waiting at the waiting area.
With Wang Zheng's actions in the Disciples' level, how could there be no one looking. It was just that the rules in the Acolytes' level were a little different. They didn't have to gang up on someone. If they wished to punish a person, they could rationally make use of the rules.
However, they would still like to see what kind of Cultivation Technique Wang Zheng would receive in this place.
On the other level, Saints' level.
The 5 Saint's had surprisingly gathered. They were in possession of the greatest amount of resources. However, the atmosphere within the hall wasn't great. It could even be considered to be heavy.
"What you meant was that that group of old folks was teasing us and there would be no way we could become the Saint Master? We were just stepping stones for the eventual Saint Master?" Famine's voice was full of ridicule. At the same time, there was anger hidden in it.
"Hehe. Hadn't you realized after so many years? Famine, I didn't thought that you were rather naïve."
"Hmm. Who cares about the bullshit Saint Master. Strength is might. When we gain control of this strength, this world would belong to us. What could they do about it then!
"Famine was right. The World of Saints was self-sustaining. Other than the fact that we didn't knew where the money had gone to, other aspects were probably things that humans could interfere. That group of mysterious old folks had said that they wouldn't interfere with this place." Jade's voice seemed pretty flirtatious. "Boss Mu, what did you think about it?"
Mu didn't say anything but Rot from the side had spoken,"No matter what others might try to do, it wouldn't be easy for them to touch us. We aren't just Saints for show!"
Rot's words were probably what the others had in mind. Other than their strength and talents, they would likely have some amazing background to reach their current position. Clearly, everyone had been trying to hide it. However, there were things that couldn't be hidden. For example, Mu was likely to be from Aslan while Jade had a 80-90% chance of being from Arbiter.
"Hehe. Let's not put it this way. It would only seem that we were already afraid." The voice was very soft. It was from the fifth Saint. If Wang Zheng saw it, he would definitely be shocked.
This was because Wang Zheng would know about this man as well. It was Tree.
"Tree, stop acting like you were relaxed about it. You were the one who was the most desperate to become the Saint Master. You even went to the lower levels frequently and acted like a noob and asking for torment." said Famine. This brat was different compared to the rest of the Saints. He might even be masochistic. However, his strength couldn't be doubted.
"Tree was right. In fact, he had spent quite a bit of effort in these aspects over the last few years. It was beneficial for all of us. However, Tree, was something different from the previous few times?" asked Mu.
Tree shrugged his shoulders. "The fact is that you have had probably felt it too. Cultivation Techniques have become very useful recently. This is a great thing. Would this be a premonition that the Saint Master would be appearing soon too? The lower levels hadn't been peaceful recently.
"Oh, were you saying someone had demonstrated the King's disposition?" laughed Jade.
Tree did not deny it. Famine couldn't hold back anymore and stood out. "All of you weren't willing to take action. Let me do it. I really do not believe that a group of clowns could cause a huge fuss. It's good that my hands have felt rather itchy recently."
After completing his sentence, Famine's figure had disappeared and his throne had turned into darkness.
"Famine is still as rash as before. This isn't a good thing."
"You are all wrong. Famine weren't rash at all. He was trying to use practical action to tell everyone that he would be the most suitable to become the Saint Master." Mu said calmly.
Wouldn't the one who defeated the "Saint Master" be the Saint Master?
Failure clearly had no value. Moreover, they had the advantage against any newcomers. Why shouldn't they take action?
Other than Zhang Shan, there were 2 rookies who were excellent. They were a guy and a girl. Without a doubt, they were Lie Xin and Lie Guang. When they just entered this place, they were a little crazy. They challenged and crushed everyone in their way. Their tempo had demonstrated the personalities of the Martians. They knew quite a lot about the world as wel. Although the Sage was still hiding something, he had been a guide for them. Both of them had truly put in a lot of effort in this too.
On the contrary, Lear was keeping a low profile. However, his plan to employ various forms of bribery and acquisition had commenced quietly. The way Lear played the game was different from the others. He hoped to be able to dictate the right of way.
To defeat one's opponent, one had to understand the opponent. His targets were the 5 Saint's. More accurately, he had to find a point of weakness first before he could replace them.
However, what he had done was just part of the plan. To replace them would definitely involve clashing at the highest level. He would have to defeat the other party directly. After Lear entered the Saint level, his greatest goal was to look for the 32 Point Ares Art so that it could complement his Refining Heaven Art. Once he completed it, who could possibly stop him?
This way of thinking of Lear's was similar to Wang Zheng despite them not discussing over it. The World of Saints could stop those who didn't understand Cultivation Techniques. However, it would be difficult to stop them considering that they already had prior experience. No matter what, if he could become the Saint Master in the end, this benefit would be worth his efforts.
At the spaceport, Meng Tian had boarded the spaceship. Her luggage was simple and there wasn't anyone sending her off. Meng Tian was used to being alone. In fact, she didn't have many friends since young. It might be because of her personality and she didn't have many emotions. However, this was the first time she was feeling a little unwilling to part.
Looking at the spaceships zapping past busily alone, Meng Tian was starting to feel a little infatuated. It was only by distancing herself from that man that she could re-discover herself. At least she could finally leave this place without regrets now.
Wang Zheng, we would meet again!
