1325 Wang Zheng's Here!

Yuan Jing and the gang glared at the people around them, but the light was already at the top of their heads, read to bust them once they tried to resist or flee.

Meng Tian smiled. It was breathtakingly beautiful but was inappropriate with the cruel situation.

"I'll go," Meng Tian said as she touched her hair lightly. Wang Zheng might have a way if he were here, but Meng Tian had no idea what to do. She couldn't possibly get her teammates to die with her.

Xie Yuxin didn't say anything. The threat didn't come from the surrounding people, but the sky and the Saint. The Saint would never allow anyone to stray from their rules. He had seen the Elders' capabilities. It wasn't something they could deal with with their current abilities.

"Xie Yuxin, say something. We'll just die if it comes to it. We should fight back!" Mengha burst out, blocking Meng Tian's route, determined not to let Meng Tian go.

Xie Yuxin knitted his brows slightly. "Meng Tian's decision is right."

Ping…

Yuan Jing gave Xie Yuxin a heavy punch. "Are you fu*king human!? Meng Tian is our comrade and your classmate! You cold-blooded animal!"

Xie Yuxin wiped the blood by the side of his mouth. Meng Tian held Yuan Jing back. "Calm down. I hope there will be survivors amongst us."

Some guys in long, gray robes came to take Meng Tian away in no time. Kang Siqi and Huo Dong had to pull the two guys apart to prevent them from fighting.

Meng Tian might be a woman, but she was calm and more decisive than most men. If Xie Yuxin was the one chosen as the sacrifice, he wouldn't have hesitated either. There was nothing to hesitate about. Humans were always led around by some useless emotions that could do nothing for their situation.

People started to file into the temple. Rules and missions of the battles for the Son of Saint were given out there. Most of the people were excited that they weren't chosen. They felt as though they were about to become the Son of Saint.

Meng Tian only said one thing before she was taken away — She hoped that Wang Zheng would think of her from time to time.

"Fu*k, what the fu*k is Wang Zheng? Don't bank on him. I have to save Meng Tian!" Mengha grabbed his fist tightly. The only way was to become a Son of Saint. Whatever that was, at least he would have power.

"We'll be together. We might as well die here together if we can't make it out alive!" Yuan Jing nodded. He knew Meng Tian from their time in Galaxy Military College. They had always been together. He hoped to be by her side forever, even if he could just watch her from the sidelines.

"Xie Yuxin, sorry about just now. We were too rash. That experiment seems to require quite a number of phases, so we have time. We will support you to be the Son of Saint, even if it takes our lives!" Yuan Jing said.

Yuan Jing and the rest weren't idiots. They had outbursts because of Xie Yuxin's coldness at times. Yes, the situation was as such, but how could one be so cold as a person?

Xie Yuxin didn't take this to heart. He was waiting for Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng should be here no matter how he thought about it. The Saint would never give up on Wang Zheng. How could the most popular youngster not be here at such an important event? Wang Zheng wasn't here yet, and that was out of Xie Yuxin's expectations.

His power was slightly lacking, and that was a bit of a headache.

"Xie Yuxin, give a fart. Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you are going to leave Meng Tian?" Mengha shouted.

Xie Yuxin looked coldly at Mengha. "Don't be so brash. Have you seen the people around us? Some of them might not be earth-rank, but their combat power isn't weaker than ours. Therefore, we have to use our brains to save Meng Tian. Also, we have to find Wang Zheng quickly!"

"Wang Zheng again. He's everywhere. Is that guy so powerful!?" Mengha howled again. This guy's temper had gone off the moment Meng Tian was taken away.

It wasn't like Xie Yuxin hadn't been in love before, but he had always kept a calmness towards the results of hormone secretion. This was the instinct of biology, but he always found such complex reactions from the people around him to be a burden.

"Mengha, let's listen to him. Let's go to the temple first and make things clear before looking for Wang Zheng," Yuan Jing said in a low voice.

Kang Siqi and Huo Dong nodded. "Mengha, you can't be so temperamental. I got news that Wang Zheng obtained the championship of SIG not long ago and is now the Greatest King. He defeated A-rank warriors and his strength is definitely above ours. The Son of Saint has to be a qualified person."

It wasn't that Mengha didn't know about Wang Zheng's strength, he just hated him.

With Meng Tian around, the team was still harmonious. Now everyone had lost interest in talking.

The huge image that floated above was a stark reminder that you could either live like a king or become a monster-like slave.

Even the Princess of Aslan was a sacrifice. No one would dare think about luck.

Huiyin curled up quietly in the petri dish like a baby.

A portion of the subjects were asleep, while the rest were awake. Volunteers were the best. Nonetheless, if they were unwilling, they could at least give them more data.

The main hall of the temple was very spacious and magnificent. It was in the style of ancient Earth, exactly the same as the Saint World.

There seemed to be at least a thousand people here. Xie Yuxin and gang were here as well. They stayed in a corner, quietly looking at the people in gray robes, seemingly waiting for people to gather.

There was a huge amount of people, but how many could survive?

An Elder in black robes came out after a while. The chattering became more obvious until an aura descended upon the whole place. It went silent in an instant.

Here, power was most convincing.

Those in gray robes bowed their heads respectfully to those in black robes. Their faces were shrouded in fog. A silver light flashed through Xie Yuxin's eyes, but he still couldn't see clearly. The gap in strength was too obvious.

Hundreds of people with Spiritual Power did the same, but were faced with the same results.

"I'm the Thirteenth Elder of the Saint. You can call me the Elder of law enforcement. The battle for the Son of Saint officially begins. Today, all of you will receive a representative badge. Your first task will be to obtain more than two of these badges to survive. You have three days."

The expressions of the audience were different. Some were excited, some frustrated, many were lost. A rather big portion of them came from ancient martial arts families and were the core disciples of the Saint. They didn't think that even they would have to undergo such cruel elimination. They started discussing, but no one dared to do anything extra. All of them understood that only the strongest could survive.

"I hereby announce a permanent mission. Cadillana, Tan Yuyang, Sarah, Bilro, Mo Ling… Wang Zheng, kill any one of them and you can choose to leave the Oracle Star or to get a seat as an Elder."

Cadillana, King of Fire.

Tan Yuyang, King of Wind.

Sarah, King of Water.

Bilro, King of Earth.

Mo Ling, King of Wood.

Everyone knew the five of them. They were the elite of the candidates and the core to the future of the Saint. This was also what Lear thought himself to be, but they chose to put him into the experiment in the end. That had given his pride a fatal blow.

However, everyone was discussing the last person — Wang Zheng!

The other five had great strength and many followers. Who had the courage even if there was such a sweetener?

"Who is this Wang Zheng?"

"He seemed to be from some military school, the Greatest King of SIG. He's good with mecha."

Everyone's eyes were alight with passion in that instant. This was a gift from heaven! They could choose to leave or to become an Elder as long as they killed Wang Zheng! What a great gift!

Who was Wang Zheng? Where was he?

Xie Yuxin was also looking for Wang Zheng in the crowd with everyone else. Wang Zheng must have arrived if they had made such an announcement. A strange smile creeped up Xie Yuxin's face.

A person walked towards the Thirteenth Elder. Everyone stared at him.

Jondi Lilick smiled. That was just like his straightforward style!
