Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Getting Ready For the Final Training

Everyone's' attention was drawn over to the commotion . At this point in time, it would not be wise to display fear . In this group, it was necessary to have sufficient strength and capabilities in order to gain recognition .

"It looks like one is not enough . Since everyone wants some too, I will go down to catch another fish," Wang Zheng said .

"Heh heh, Wang Zheng is domineering indeed . We will be waiting for your fish for dinner then," Taros said .

Taros had always looked down on Wang Zheng . He was bewildered on how a small fry like him could be on par with the rest of them .

"Wang Zheng! Go for it!" Yuan Ye hollered .

"Wang Zheng's barbecuing skills are unparalleled and the Fanged Carp is a delicacy . If he manages to catch another, everyone will be in for a feast tonight . " Zhang Shan kicked up a fuss .

Everyone was looking at Wang Zheng . No one had expected them to restart their rivalry once again . Their initial plan was to relax and enjoy this location . It appeared that now all Achilles wanted was to find someone to establish his power and prestige .

Actually, Wang Zheng could have declined, because the Fanged Carp could only be found in deep waters and it was extremely fast and ferocious . They had no idea how Achilles had done it, perhaps he had used his Ability X… this was really not something that could be imitated . Lie Xin and Lear had both chosen to keep quiet; it was evident that they could not perform this feat .

Based on overall capabilities, Wang Zheng had no chance of winning against Achilles .

Plop! Wang Zheng jumped into the water . As he dove downwards, the water pressure started to take its effect on him, and the Primordial Regression Technique was circulated .

He arrived at 200 meters underwater in a short amount of time . Then everyone's faces changed . Unless he had a special Ability X, it would not be possible for him to maintain this state .

However, Wang Zheng did not seem to be affected by the water pressure and continued to dive deeper . His original Five Elements were an unlimited source of energy . It had no limits, hence Wang Zheng would lose control whenever he used his Ability X . The current Cycle of Five Phases combined with the Primordial Regression Technique had certainly received some adjustments . Although he was not used to it, it appeared to lighten the load on his body . After pondering carefully, the current Primordial Regression Technique was more suitable for him to increase his power . However, it would be even better if he could utilize its full strength along with the Five Elements' limitless power .

If he had the chance to meet the Old Merchant again, it was a must to find out more about Wang Tong . It seemed like he had heard of Wang Tong before…

All the people on the shore were staring at the spot of light that represented Wang Zheng . This fellow was relentless . To think that he actually had such abilities .

Lear's eyes turned cold . He had calculated everything precisely for the plan on Earth, but he had not expected to give Wang Zheng an opportunity to shine . From the looks of it now, this was not merely a mistake . Wang Zheng's abilities were completely incredible and they covered a wide range inconspicuously .  Especially when looking at the expressions of the people around him, it seemed like . . . he had a good relationship with the people from Mars . Those from the Moon did not detest him either, at least when compared to Lear himself .

Lear's heart skipped a beat . This was not looking good .

Achilles was interested too . After all, Wang Zheng had already made his way 300 meters underwater, and this was already out of the ordinary . He knew how Wang Zheng had managed to dive down; it could not be done without an extremely formidable Ability X . Furthermore, it was also necessary to break through a certain degree of power as well . Achilles was the only one in the Solar System who had done so before this… but Wang Zheng was able to do it as well . . .

The others had not come to realize, but Raston and some others had already felt it . The powers that Wang Zheng possessed were extremely strong and powerful .

How was it possible for an individual to gain such strong powers overnight?! Lie Xin also felt astonished . Wang Zheng's spot of light finally stopped moving .

There was a moment of suspense . What had happened?

It was not that easy to catch the fish . Although those from the Moon were surprised that Wang Zheng had the capability to dive so deeply, diving down and catching the Fanged Carp were two separate matters altogether .

Beneath the water with Wang Zheng as its center, rippling waves started to spread out . It was his spiritual fluctuations calling out . Creatures, especially underwater creatures, were extremely sensitive to such ripples .

Not long after, the fluctuations of the water flow had become more intense . Wang Zheng had intended to only catch one fish . . . but, what the heck! It seemed like he had attracted the nest of the Fanged Carps .

In the eyes of the masses, Wang Zheng's spot of light ascended at high speeds . It did not take him long to break through the water surface like a cannonball . He was shouting in mid-air, "Get out of the way!"

Chasing right behind Wang Zheng were a couple of Fanged Carps, and one nearly bit Wang Zheng's butt . The fishes had jumped on to shore and were thrashing around .

It was evident that two fishes would be insufficient, but these eight fishes were definitely enough to fill the stomachs of the masses . The masses were cheering .

It was the first day . The Mars military was indeed humane . They did not care much about the campfire . The masses were enjoying themselves; they sang, danced, and had a sumptuous feast .

The next day at 4: 30 AM .

Buzz buzz buzz -------

A piercing siren sounded within the base .

Wake up and fall in!

Everyone was accustomed to all these practices . As they had rested yesterday, all of them rushed out of their accommodations energetically .

The intense Mars devilish training had officially begun .

This time, it was General Lie Wuqing who gave a lecture to the masses . He was accompanied by Colonel Duncan .

Lie Wuqing gave a military salute . He had a stern and serious expression .

In an instant, the already tense atmosphere became even more intense . Everyone felt that whatever General Lie was going to say next was definitely not going to be a light-hearted topic .

"Mars . This is the last stop for this IG training . Everyone has been performing well . But regrettably, although outstanding, there will be many of you who will be eliminated at this stop . But nonetheless I can assure all of you that regardless of being part of the IG main team or not, you will still receive focused training from the military . All of you here are without a doubt the future elites of the Solar System . Personally, I hope that all of you can learn many things here, not merely mastering the skills required in battle nor only for the sake of victory . . . Duncan, I'll hand the rest over to you!"

"Yes! General! I will definitely complete the mission!"

Colonel Duncan raised his right hand and waved downwards… . . .

Rumble!

The ground suddenly began to shake .

On the parade square where the masses had gathered, secret doors started to open one by one . There was a surge of air flow with white steam . Then, one by one, the mecha rose up from these secret doors . Each secret door corresponded to one mech .

All the mecha came in different forms . Their commonality was that the engines were fully enclosed and were equipped with a turbine-type propulsion device at the back . This was a specially designed mech that was meant for underwater combat .

The Ghana Star was the most prosperous interplanetary hub in the Milky Way . At the same time, it was also the birthplace of the Naga . In the entire star, the deep oceans constituted 90% of the area, whilst the remaining 10% was land that was divided into several islands . There were no continents . The star was ten times the size of Earth and was extremely rich in mineral resources . It was considered to be at a medium degree of civilization .  

The Naga people were the creators of the underwater civilization . Initially, when humans discovered the Ghana Star, they thought that the Naga were the legendary Atlanteans .

But after conquering Ghana, they realised that the Naga were just the indigenous people of Ghana . Surprisingly, these indigenous people had extremely good capabilities .

The Naga people had a body shape similar to humans . They possessed both arms and legs, but had webbed palms and soles . Their skin colour was turquoise blue and they had four rows of gills at the back of their necks . It allowed them to breathe underwater like amphibians .

After humans had conquered Ghana, the Naga people took three generations to completely assimilate and become part of the Milky Way Alliance . To be honest, in this age of human navigation, there were many non-human civilizations like the Naga people . Many ended up joining the Milky Way Alliance . However, not many were as successful as the Naga people .

All these civilizations shared a common characteristic, which was the fact that they had the body shape of humans and thus were called humanoid civilizations . The most important point was, they had nothing less than what humans had . Sometimes they had even greater learning capabilities than humans . With the development and expansion over time, they had already become one of the ten permanent member states in the Milky Way Alliance . This could be considered a form of revenge .

The Ghana Star was no longer the territory of the Naga people . On the other hand, it was a prosperous planet that housed people from different ethnicities and civilizations . Humans, the Naga people, together with the Caucans and Saurians, who also belonged to humanoid civilizations … . . . had formed the Ghana Alliance . Although there were other civilizations present as well, the main body of the alliance was primarily the union between humans and the Naga people .

The collision of the various civilizations had formed a powerful force, and at the same time, it represented the power of various civilizations fusing together . They held a relatively high standing within the Milky Way Alliance .

The Ghana Alliance had paid much attention to the IG competition as they were extremely passionate about things such as learning from, competing with, and interacting with one another . Humans learned in order to conquer, whereas the Naga people learned just because they wanted to learn . What happens after they become stronger was not of much importance to them .

Each ethnicity within the Ghana Alliance was actively preparing for battle . Their vying for the position of leader had still remained in an intense state of competition .

This was a floating castle . In Ghana, land space was scarce . Hence, such floating castles were built in the skies above each island . Using Ghana's magnetic fields, the castles were kept floating semi-permanently in mid-air to provide more living space for the people . All sorts of aircrafts could be seen everywhere, even enormous space cargo ships were flying in and out of Ghana . Under the sea, on the sea's surface, above the sea, the Ghana civilization was extremely attractive to human travelers and was also one of tourists' favorite destinations .

This castle was the designated training camp for IG .

A real battle had just ended over here and a few team members were being carried out on stretchers . Blood was trickling down from the stretchers, and those who were sent out had already lost their chance to qualify for the actual IG match . .

On the training ground, there were 51 people left . Amongst them were 15 humans, 11 Naga people, and the rest of the humanoid civilizations each had around one or two representatives left . All of them were the strongest elites of the younger generation from their respective ethnicities . The Ghana Star had preserved the slavery system, and of course they had taken into account the Milky Way Alliance Convention to a certain extent . The reason why the Milky Way Alliance could exist was its high levels of compatibility . After all, they had different cultural backgrounds and systems . From the perspective of Ghana, a gamble could determine one's fate, hence, when travellers came over, it was important for them to not joke around for they could become slaves if they were not careful .

Having a relatively 'backward' system had also made them fearless and dauntless, and of course, glory was even more prevalent .

On the whole, 51 people were divided into three teams and were competing with one another for the one and only position of leader .

"If it goes on like this, we will not get any conclusive results . The three of us are on par in terms of abilities and powers . "

One of the Naga people, Leandre, blinked his eyes, and said in a mellow tone . The Naga people had pupils that were akin to that of snakes, giving off a devilish vibe .
