Chapter 678: Being Decisive

“Huiyin, thank you. If there’s a day that Aina remembered something, you tell her that she should do what she liked. As for these beautiful memories, I will give her my blessings.” Wang Zheng smiled, “After listening to your private concert, I can go back and brag about it.”

Looking at Wang Zheng’s smile, Lin Huiyin was also at a loss for words. What Wang Zheng said to her, Aina had also said the same thing, and she had no idea how to pass on the message to him.

Watching the quiet Lin Huiyin, Wang Zheng also stroked her blonde hair fondly. “Huiyin, from today onwards, that guy called Wang Zheng is just a passerby. You have to become a great Aslan princess.”

Saying that, Wang Zheng called Zhang Shan over, “Wimpy Shan, let’s go, I’ll treat you to supper.”

“Tsk, you pig head! I’ve not been a wimp for many years!” Zhang Shan hollered.

The two men walked away shoulder to shoulder, while Angela silently returned to Lin Huiyin, watching the backs of both of them. She had overheard his final words, and this made her look up to him. Wang Zheng was a person who was responsible and decisive. If it was another person, they might not have acted this quickly.

“You Highness, you have done everything you can. The matter is over.” Angela respectfully said.

Lin Huiyin nodded her head, her beautiful eyes moist with tears. In the end, she was not able to free the burdens of Wang Zheng and her sister...

A public conference with the princess had become the hottest topic in Elite Academy, and had even overshadowed the competition itself. Unfortunately, Aina had enrolled in the Milky Way Military College, but the students had received another piece of exciting news. Aslan’s second princess, Her Highness Lin Huiyin will be study at the Elite Academy X for a while.

She was originally supposed to appear yesterday night, but due to certain reasons had not managed to make it. However, the admission of Her Highness had been confirmed, and Lin Huiyin will be learning how to control and improve her ability X in Elite Academy.

The news about Aslan twin princesses had spread like wildfire. Those students who had been eliminated were all sighing in regret, as this was the best chance to leave a good impression on the princesses, perhaps they might even manage to capture the princess’s heart.

Jiang Feng was still undecided about the recent arrangements of the academy, as it was more related to politics. However, as an instructor, he did not want to deal with these things, and he was also unable to interfere. Humans would never be able to isolate themselves, but the atmosphere of the campus had to still be maintained. However, this issue might still be considered to be positive, as it would give the students even more motivation.

Only with competition would the students improve.

In the five major sectors, each of them had eight participants entering. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the main competition. The competition details had been decided by Jiang Feng. From Jiang Feng’s previous character, since the earlier rounds were that ‘normal’, the latter round would definitely be different.

Just as everyone had guessed, when everyone else were attending their normal classes, the forty students had been summoned for a wave of medical examinations.

Hydra and the rest were extremely calm. The four of them did not require such examinations, but they had also figured out Jiang Feng’s plan. However, the risk was indeed high this time.

After an entire morning of complicated tests, all the students who entered the competition were qualified. They were lined up according to their sectors, and Jiang Feng stood right at the front. He swept his gaze across them, and a trace of a smile appeared on his lips. Being young sure was good, just like a newborn calf, absolutely fearless.

“I will be explaining the next stage of the competition. This will not be a simple showdown. By entering this main competition, all of you have proven your physical skills and ability X. Elite Academy does not want to only cultivate fighting experts, they are looking for leaders who can lead, and adapt to all unexpected situations. That is what we want.” Jiang Feng said. “Hence, we will be going to an interesting place for the main competition. I believe that some of you are already aware, some of you might have already been there. Yes, it is the Abyss.”

Everyone started whispering. It was obvious that all of them had heard about that mysterious yet dangerous place. It was said that the requirement for ability X was extremely high, and physical skills was less effective there. It seemed like that bunch from the Solar system would be miserable this time round, as their physical skills were superior to their ability X, but it would not be able to cause enough damage in the Abyss.

“You all may choose any mech you wish. The goal is to survive for one month. If you survive till the end, you will be qualified to show your strength in front of the teachers and students of both academies, and earn you own glory!” Jiang Feng’s voice raised even higher, stirring the hearts of those present.

“Without a doubt, not only will the dean of both academies arrive, the two princesses of the Aslan Empire will also be here. They are still unmarried, so you should seize this opportunity to perform!”

Although Jiang Feng said it as a joke, there were quite a few who were affected by it. Many of them already had the qualifications, all they need was to attract the princess’s attention. At the same time, they would also be able to attract the attention of the dean. The deans of Elite academy and Military College were also generals in the Union Command within the Milky Way. Due to the large number of students, the prestige was rather high.

“Instructor Jiang Feng, are there no rules, as long as you survive for a month?” Someone asked.

Jiang Feng smiled. “Yes, the place where you will be placed is at the periphery of the abyss, but as long as you enter the abyss, there is no safe place. Moreover, once you are in danger, the emergency rescue will take at least half an hour to arrive. The Xuan Grade students already have a grasp on the dangers within the abyss, and the Huang Grade students should quickly use their time to familiarize themselves. Any other questions?”

Those that were able to enter the main competition had full confidence in themselves. So what if it was the abyss?

However, only Hydra and the others were mentally prepared. They had already followed the troops to battle within the Abyss, even if it was only as a support role.

That’s right, even with their skills, they were only the supporters.

At the periphery of the Abyss, the Milky Way military command had been continuously attacking, and fortifying themselves at the same time. On one hand, it was to reduce the numbers of the Zerg, while also protecting the mining area. The students from Elite Academy understood the situation with, and had begun their trials near the edge of the battlefield.

The periphery of the abyss was already a human controlled area, but the Zerg were still streaming out, just that there were no high tiered Zerg around. The further in one went, the tier of the Zerg rapidly increased, and had greater strength, but this was not enough to deter humanity. The stronger they were, the more desire they had to explore, but there was always a risk. The Abyss contained something that all humans desired, and the deeper the depth, the higher the purity.

This kind of mineral deposit was something that was essential in the development of human science and technology, and was consider to be a top secret. It involved the improvement of human-specific rune-type mecha and other weapons, and had been completely monopolized by the Union. The mineral was even rarer than the super gravity ore, and in the hands of the Milky Way union, it was the safest way to establish themselves.

After Jiang Feng’s explanation was over, the rest of the time was preparation time. Farewells had been said, and each student was told to choose a mech. This was the key to their survival.

In the abyss, food and water was still plentiful. The important issue was not to be surrounded by the Zerg and fall into a trap. They had to understand that the rescue squad would not be something that they could rely on.

Even if they were the strongest forty in the Huang and Xuan Grades, they still had to be mentally prepared.

What the others were thinking, Wang Zheng did not know. However, he was looking forward to it, as it was a chance for him to put aside his thoughts. As for these Abyss Zerg, Wang Zheng had been curious about them for a long time. Although he had learnt quite a bit from Butcher, he did not have the chance to apply it in combat. According to his data, once they were out of the Abyss, the strength of the Zerg would greatly weaken, but they were definitely wilder and fiercer within it. When he thought about it, Wang Zheng was indeed a little excited.

Zhang Shan was extremely envious of him. He had dearly wished to train himself in such a place. He had already inquired about it, the Abyss would cause a constant drain on one’s mental strength, which meant that it would greatly strengthen one’s self-recovery strength, and was definitely a great place to train one’s ability X.

What a pity that he could not go. However, it was also a good thing for him, as with Zhang Shan’s current capabilities, he might just become a punching bag for the Zerg.

Wang Zheng chose the Golden Wheel Battle King. No matter if the bugs were outside or in the abyss, if there were a few of them, then he would just destroy everything. If there were many of them, he would not be able to run anyway, and even the Wind God would be useless. Hence, he gave the Golden Wheel Battle King a go. He had begun to favor this Manalasuo’s mech, and was also proficient in using its ultimate attack.

Against the enemy, there was only a single word – fight!
