514 Blade Techniques

"The body of mankind is a treasure house of strength. It is also called the inner universe, and it possesses unlimited strength. Blade Techniques are the key to unlocking it. Now, let the transformation begin!"

The white-robed person said.

Wang Zheng was in complete shock. These eight points were also within the Primordial Regression Technique, and could form a basic loop. The so-called wisdom trigger was the fabled enlightenment.

This sequence actually had a similar effect to the Rubik's Cube, although it was far behind technologically. The Rubik's Cube's effect had a 90 percent chance of success, while this sequence only had a 10 percent chance. But it was enough to shock Wang Zheng.

He did not know how many people possessed this sequence, but all those who had been successfully enlightened knew this basic Blade Technique without question. Daily practice would definitely hone the body.

Who had created this program???

In an instant, Wang Zheng was stunned. Could his Rubik's Cube, the treasure that Old Merchant had taken from a parallel dimension, be of this world?

Was it pure coincidence?

BOOM…

The process was fairly quick. Eight bright points underwent a series of agitations, and very quickly formed a circulation. Wang Zheng did not feel much, because he had undergone an even more grueling enlightenment process before.

This was indeed genuine enlightenment.

"Congratulations, you have successfully triggered your awakening. Tomorrow you will be given a second chance to enter World of Saints. For now, you need rest."

As this was said, the world shut down, and Wang Zheng was taken out of the World of Saints virtual world.

In the dorm, Wang Zheng retreated deep into his thoughts. His body did not feel much, but he knew that his entire circulatory loop had been tampered with. For someone who did not know any martial arts, completing such a loop would be the first thorough cleansing of a body.

Therefore, a day of rest was needed.

Clearly the maker was very aware of this. Old Merchant knew he had the Rubik's Cube. To give him this, could the Old Merchant be the creator of this object?

It seemed unlikely. Old Merchant had mentioned before that he was not too clear about the Rubik's Cube's true use, while martial arts was not something that a simple virtual community could easily mimic. All that could be said was that the programmer understood things very thoroughly, although the Eight Point's level was nothing compared to the Primordial Regression Technique.

Although the program had said that this was just the most basic. There must be more secrets concealed within.

Wang Zheng knew that Old Merchant was probably in collaboration with a secret group, but they did not let him participate too much. Perhaps this was the secret group's product. In terms of martial arts, Wang Zheng had many problems that even Bonehead and Charcoal could not help him with. But this seemed… possible.

And Wang Zheng really wanted to know what level this "World of Saints" thing possessed, and their purpose!

But Wang Zheng also sensed a tingle of danger. If this was power that the Milky Way controlled, then such a method would not be needed. Evidently this was a power outside of the Milky Way, and what he was doing indeed raised his power. If any military school students or mecha pilots used this sequence, they would benefit greatly as well.

His understanding of Ability X was also comprehensive, as Wang Zheng had much experience in this aspect.

That Old Merchant had not given him any clear goals, which meant that it was up to him.

Was this the present before he went to Elite Academy X?

Wang Zheng's excitement was palpable. But the program could not be entered, and he just had to let it be.

Ye Zisu's recent tasks were focused on the Storm Swordsman. Although the Wind God was definitely a shining star for OMG, simply depending on the Wind God would not be enough.

Although the Storm Swordsman had not been formally displayed to the world, its performance on Tita could be called astonishing. It would not be a problem to at least dominate the Tita markets.

Before Ye Zisu returned, she had already made a deal with Lan Ling's side. This mech would have two models. One was exclusively for Tita, while the other version would be for other planets. After all, a unique star like Tita was rarely seen. The mech's incomprehensible strength on the planet, that was close to a super-mech, was not something that other planets could bring to bear.

The second model would maximize the super-duty energy mineral ore's properties, to enable the Storm Swordsman with a special ability that surpassed other mecha. Although the results were not as amazing as the model for Tita, it could use energy shields. Each had its own strengths, and the important thing now was to test the mech's actual battle performance. In this aspect, Ye Zisu was playing her cards close to her chest. For the testing, only Wang Zheng would suit their needs. No other pilot could bring its full potential to bear.

He chatted with Ye Zisu for a while. Something was odd about her. At times, she would flush red as a berry, as though she was not her usual self. Wang Zheng was not too concerned, and soon Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun returned.

Both of them had rushed back immediately after classes, and even applied for leave from Xiao Fei. This had made Diva Xiao fairly unhappy. Not only was she being overworked, but now he had also snatched her assistants.

In these two years, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu had grown fairly quickly, becoming irreplaceable in the work group. Chen Xiu, especially, was living proof that wisdom was not always a product of age, while Yao Ailun seemed to be fascinated by commentary, and was wavering regarding whether he should give up physics.

It was clear that Ailun loved research, but this was mainly because he was good at it. Ever since he had teamed up with Old Deer to do commentary, the old and young team's banter had become the gold standard, and the CT company understood this very well. They had added a beauty called Bei Er to the commentary panel. Sometimes it did not even matter if the match was exciting or otherwise, because people went to watch the commentators instead.

A pairing between the genders made work lighter. Bei Er had been chosen from countless CT hobbyists. She personally specialized in the sniper position, and was at the diamond rank. Of course, the important thing was that she looked good and had a cute name. She was sexy and had a killer chest. Her career path had been voracious, and she was suited for all ages. They had sandwiched her in between Old Deer and Little Lun, and she churned out great material with ease.

Yao Ailun was beginning to love this carefree atmosphere more and more. While on the flip side, the path of a researcher went deeper and deeper, with no end. He found that it took more out of him as well. Furthermore, not everybody was as talented as Wang Zheng or Chen Xiu, and perhaps Zhang Shan's decisive move to strike out and pursue his dreams was the right one.

Ailun simply had not hardened his heart to the correct decision yet.

It was also rare for Wang Zheng to have such free time. After the IG ended, the Tita mission had been personally brought to successful completion by him. Now he was just killing time, whiling the days away. Wang Zheng also wanted to take a break, and to do some of the things he wanted to do. Once he entered Elite Academy X, such a carefree period would be behind him. The Federation had recommended him, and it would definitely be accompanied by missions. It was not as though he could just get by during his time there. This had been clear from Meng Ao's tone. Because their results in the IG had been too good, the military's tone had become more and more boastful, and their sights were set higher and higher.

Wang Zheng was troubled as well. This bunch of old men had sure swelled up fast. He was not sure if it was due to the Primordial Regression Technique, but Wang Zheng felt that the luck of the Solar System was changing. It was suited to his own father's discussion of tricking people. But it would not be so quick. For the Solar System to recover its former position, it still had a long way to go.

Yao Ailun had a live broadcast that night, and he had invited Wang Zheng and Chen Xiu as guests of honor. Little Xiu had attended a few programs before, and his fresh-faced looks had many older women salivating.

Of course, Wang Zheng and Chen Xiu had no intention of being on the panel. They just wanted to be spectators.

At these times, Yao Ailun was especially animated, as though he had escaped the dry and dreary world of physics, and unleashed a side of him that was glowing with life.

In the last two years, the CT circle had changed drastically. The competition was intense, and the new generation constantly replaced the old. But the one thing that did not change was the Solar System region's popularity, especially the Earth region. This was undeniable. The popularity had also made some strong regions consent to come to Earth for an exchange battle. This was a dream for the Earth mecha fans as well.

Among the people familiar to Wang Zheng, only Prince had remained on the professional path. The rest had mostly quit, either entering the CT company, or working behind the scenes in entertainment. Some had moved to livestreaming online. Most had become stars, taking in a decent income. Most importantly, they could still do what they loved to do.

The main mech that Prince was currently using was the Wind God. It was also the most utilized mech in the Earth region, and he was nicknamed "Big Brother" as a form of respect. He had contributed tremendously to the development of CT on Earth.

The opening introduction moved Wang Zheng. Deep down, he was one who loved to stick with the old. He liked new things well enough, but things moved so fast. Thinking back to the past, he would not have known Prince and the rest if they had not clashed.

"What happened to Prince's old pal Hammer?"

"He's the coach of the Imperial Power team now. Brother Zheng, how about a match?" Chen Xiu smiled. "It's been so long since I've seen you in action."

Wang Zheng shook his head slightly. "Forget it, I'm a retired player."

In the world of CT, Skeleton had indeed retired. He was happy just being part of the bustle once in a while.

Seeing that Wang Zheng had no intention of playing, Chen Xiu did not press him. A super-strong IG contender clearly had no more interest towards CT.

Old Deer had appeared too. After many years without seeing him, Old Deer's hair seemed noticeably whiter, although he was hale and hearty as always. He was, without argument, the number 1 in the Solar System commentary circles. He possessed an unparalleled aura. For average matches, Old Deer no longer made an appearance, but today's match was of some standard. The strongest team to date on Earth, the Imperial Power team, would fight the number one ranked team from Manalasuo – the Falcon Team.

The popularity of the Earth region was comfortably within the top 10 individual planet rankings, while Manalasuo's planet play ranking was also within the top 10, although the two top 10s were very different in economic worth.

But Earth's popularity, augmented by Earth's stellar performance in this round of the IG, had made many high-level teams willing to come to Earth for a match. Now Earth was no longer afraid of losing. More accurately, they had been polished ceaselessly in these two years. Perhaps the end result was still unchanging, but their fighting was laudable, and their skill level had improved considerably. And in truth, the audience's level for the Earth CT was quite advanced. They were not so much afraid of losing as they were of stagnating.
