"That would be the best . I was still fretting over how I be applying leave with 36D . " laughed Wang Zheng
"36D? The nickname of your section leader is truly special . "
Wang Zheng and Barry looked at each other and burst into laughter . They quickly tried to change the subject .
Since she had confirmed Wang Zheng's identity, the Red Fox was willing to make accommodations for Wang Zheng . As for Barry, it was a fact that he had accumulated quite a number of leave days . Moreover, there weren't many things recently . Therefore, the Red Fox approved the leave application decisively . She also didn't want to interfere with Wang Zheng's actions too much .
Clearly, no matter what were the reasons behind Wang Zheng being here, she did not feel that Wang Zheng would be staying around for a long time . Moreover, the Red Fox was truly busy with other matters and were not able to care too much about it . She was at a complete disadvantage in the competition for Squadron Leader .
If she wished to become the Squadron Leader, she would need either the upper management's acknowledgement or the support from the local powers such as the Lan Family .
Clearly, the Red Fox did not have either . She had originally wanted to use Wang Zheng as capital in the competition . However, she realised that she had been too naïve . Wang Zheng belonged to the whole Squadron and would not affect who would become the Squadron Leader .
As such, the Red Fox had nothing much to expect from Wang Zheng and allowed him to do as he wished .
The core team of Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu and Barry was formed . The basic framework had already been established . Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu were very satisfied with the situation with the Wind God . Using the Wind God mech as the template, they continued their development of the new mech .
The three of them had the same insights . The thinking of having heavy armour mecha as the mainstream mecha was erroneous . The landscape on Tita Star wasn't completely suitable for Heavy armour mech . To use a larger and clumsier mech to go against the giants was the wrong direction . The direction for design should be towards the elemental attributes .
When Barry was still in military school, he was known for his theory on elemental mech . If it could be realised, it would no doubt be a further step in the application of Ability X in mecha .
Ye Zisu and Barry were the professionals while Wang Zheng would be the best testing pilot . Through Wang Zheng's examination of the mech, they would be able to find the best direction to improve the mech .
These days was truly the most blessed for Barry . He had originally thought that he would just live the rest of his life in a blur . However, things had changed drastically and he was able to build a cross-generational mech with a genius designer and the super pro from IG .
This was completely unpractical and seemed like a dream . However, it was days like these that had ignited Barry's passion .
A dreamer lived for the impractical things .
However, they faced multiple problems in their research soon . On theory, it was possible . However, Wang Zheng wasn't adept in the "Wind" attribute . At the same time, the mech was lacking in basic materials . They were lacking a key material that could exhibit the "Wind" attribute element . Clearly, G-materials weren't enough .
However, even if the three of them encountered a wall, they would not turn back . If it could be accomplished easily, it would not be left to them to solve the problem .
Far away on Mars, Lie Xin and Lie Guang had both achieved huge developments . Lie Xin was on the Third Fleet of the Solar System Federation while Lie Guang entered the reserves team for the Mars First Special Forces for training . It was especially so for Lie Guang who swept away the decadent cynical image of the past . On Mars, the Martians called it the wastrel turning over a new leaf .
Lie Guang would definitely become Lie Xin's biggest support and help . The Lie Family finally had a successor . After consolidating the Lie Family's speaking rights in the Solar System Federation, Such a model of having family members to rule the planet had its pros and cons . The crucial point would be that every hinged on the successor .
Lie Guang had passed his rebellious age . IG had caused the once flirtatious boy to undergo a complete change . The days of the past were now as illusionary as the clouds and smoke . The world outside was large and Lie Guang had truly found his goals and position, or something that was more challenging . In the latest IG, he was just a passer-by . However, he would definitely be the lead actor in the next IG!
On the last day of the month, it was the holiday for the reserve team of the Special Forces . Lie Guang did not intend to go back home but wanted to increase his own training .
In the morning, Lie Guang had just completed his warm up with a 10km run . Just when he was about to start his mech training, he saw Lie Xin .
"Sister? Why are you here?"
Lie Guang was slightly stunned . Logically speaking, Lie Xin should be very busy currently . The Third Fleet of the Solar System Federation wasn't like Mars . Being the successor to the Lie Family had a certain level of advantage . However, to be truly recognised in the Third Fleet, it wouldn't be easy . It was especially so after Lear's outstanding performance . This person's ability to scheme and sensationalise his achievements was truly high .
As for Wang Zheng, he had been selectively forgotten . The Chronos Family was most known for confusing others and was adept in the use of media and public opinion to exert pressure .
Obviously, the Lie Family weren't just the average Joe . Their benefits would definitely be secured . The limelight on Lie Xin wasn't any less . This was especially so because she was also beautiful .
"What? Couldn't I come and visit my cute brother?"
Lie Guang smiled . "That would be fine too but based on what I know, you shouldn't be so free at this moment? What was the matter? Just said it . "
"The Sage had summoned the both of us . "
Seeing that it was the order from the Sage, the smile on Lie Guang's face disappeared . "Wait for me to take a shower and change my clothes first . "
After several hours, the two people arrived at the Sage Sect with the mentality of a pilgrim . The door was already wide open .
When they took their first step into the door, Lie Xin and Lie Guang took a look at each other . Their gazes were a little different . Both of them could clearly feel the difference from the past . At this moment, the seemingly normal looking Holy Mountain was giving out some form of faint attractive force . Looking at the Sage Sect on the peak of the mountain from the door, it felt just like they were immersed in a solemn holy light .
Even with their extremely firm mind, they could clearly feel that their current states of mind were affected by a real source of power and wasn't because of their faith to the Sage Sect .
With lots of questions in their mind, they took one step after another towards the top of the mountain . A servant of the Sage Sect was at the door of the temple . When the servant saw the two of them, he first greeted Lie Xin with a special form of Buddhist greeting and then bowed at Lie Guang with both his hands held in front of him .
Lie Xin was a guest while Lie Guang was an internal disciple of the Sage Sect Leader, Odin, and a senior . This would explain in the difference in the form of greeting .
Lie Xin and Lie Guang returned the greeting accordingly respectively . They could feel that it was different today . It would be Xiao Bai who welcomed them with his mischievous face most of the time but he was maintaining a solemn face today . Every action was based on the rules .
"Miss Lie Xin, senior, this way please . "
Xiao Bai passed the front section of the temple with the other two people . However, he did not head towards the central portion of the temple where Sage Sect Leader Odin was at most of the time . Instead, they were led to the back of the temple .
Lie Guang's eyes flickered and asked," Junior Xiao Bai, since when had the rear temple been unsealed?"
The rear temple was a restricted area in the Sage Sect and only the Sage could entered . It was said that every generation's sage was buried within the rear temple after they passed away .
However, he was brought into the rear temple with Lie Xin . If it was just him, it would still be alright since he was an inner disciple of the Sage and was a member of the Sage Sect . Although Lie Xin was the successor of the Lie Family, she was only one of the many important followers within the Sage Sect but not part of the Sage Sect .
"It happened just yesterday . Master and the three Elders opened the rear temple together . "
Xiao Bai did not say anything more but just signalled to Lie Xin and Lie Guang to pick up their pace .
When they entered the rear temple, the influence they felt at the bottom of the mountain felt even stronger instantly . Their states of mind were extremely tranquil . It was as though all the stress they felt had disappeared from their body .
There was garden enclosed within toughened glass after passing through the rear temple . This was the style of Mars' early colonial period . At that time, the environment on Mars was still very bad . There were Martian sand storm from time to time and the people had no choice but to use toughened glass to protect the valuable green plants .
Sage servant, Gan Cheng, did not enter the garden but stop at the door step . "Master is in the garden . "
Lie Xin and Lie Guang entered the garden . They moved ahead by following a small path and soon they saw a small pavilion built with stones . The current Sage Odin was sitting cross-legged within the pavilion and seemed to be in an otherworldly and illusionary state .
"Come in . "
Odin waved his hands lightly .
"Yes!"
In the instance they entered the pavilion, the two of them could clearly feel that the power that been influencing their states of mind previously had disappeared quickly . Sage Odin who seemed illusionary from outside of the pavilion had become normal as usual .
Odin smiled faintly and nodded his head lightly towards Lie Xin . "Can you feel it?"
Lie Xin lowered her head and bowed down seriously . "Yes, master . "
"There weren't many people who could feel it . Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong were talented but did not have this fate . Lie Xin, would you be willing to become my direct disciple?"
Lie Xin's gaze was burning fiercely instantly . She had always wanted to become a disciple under the Sage Sect . Although the Sage Sect took in female disciples, the Sage himself had not accepted any female disciple . The most one could get would be to register one's name under the Sage . Becoming a direct disciple was not possible .
"It would be the disciple's pleasure . I earnestly request the Sage to accept me as your disciple and I would willingly accept your teachings . "
"Great, that's great . " smiled Odin .
Odin smiled gently and said to Lie Xin again," I have already applied 3 months of leave for you . In these 3 months, you shall stay here together with Lie Guang . "
The Lie family was different from the others . They did not need to consolidate their influence on Mars on purpose . However, it would also be difficult to expand their scope of influence . It was like a double-edged sword .
When he heard this, Lie Guang's eyes flickered and asked," Master, is there something big going on?"
"It isn't any serious matters . It is just preparation for rainy days . . . The secret key of destiny had opened the door to the new era . I could only vaguely sense a little of the future . There was no need for you all to dive deeper . If you knew too much, it would only be bad for you and nothing good would come out of it . Just going with the flow would be enough . " The Sage smiled faintly .
The secret key of destiny . . . This was the second time Lie Guang had heard of it from the master . His eyeballs rolled and Lie Guang asked in a different manner," Master, I could feel that effects of the Lie Flame Technique getting stronger recently . It was at most supportive in the past . However, the feeling now was that if it was used the right way, the Lie Flame Technique would be more terrifying than any other weapons .
Lie Xin's gaze flickered and nodded her head gently, confirming Lie Guang's explanation . She had the same feeling too . However, the feelings were deeper than Lie Guang . Her Lie Flame Technique could display terrifying power like Ability X . If she could use it together with Ability X, the power would be even more terrifying . She even had the feeling that Ability X was a power to supplement the Lie Flame Technique .
Odin smiled faintly . From his smile, one could see that there were signs of admiration . "Cultivation Techniques were originally the peak of the human civilisation . A long time ago, there were many Cultivation Techniques including the Lie Flame Technique . They had the power to dictate the universe . However, that era had ended . The Sage Sect's records on the ending of the era included, 'Just like Ragnarok, they had disappeared just like the sun set . . . '"
Lie Xin blinked her eyes . "Could it be that those things in the legends were all real?"
The records of the Sage Sect were different from the legends passed down by words in other places . It would never be wrong and would never exaggerate?It would only record things that had happened .
