Tempest of the Stellar War

He had never thought of himself as part of the Saint. They were just using each other, and now he had found the mission of his life — the Son of God! The Saint was merely a convenient party to provide him the ability to experiment.

Sharjah looked at Lear with the eyes of a fanatic. With his help, Lear would become the god of the new world.

He didn’t care about the other gods of humans. This was like his baby. The feeling was a little crazy. No one could comprehend it.

“Professor, when will we be able to enter the third stage?”

“Erm… Your situations are quite special, and the time taken for you and the other subjects… ahem, is a little longer. However, according to the previous data, the more you absorb in the second stage, the more likely it will be for you to have a spurt in the third stage. Therefore, I suggest that you get fully prepared in the second stage so that we can succeed!”

Lear nodded. He trusted Sharjah’s professional judgment. He knew himself and could see through others, just like how he understood Wang Zheng, Lie Xin, and the rest. He understood human nature and understood himself, which was why he could make clear judgments.

Nothing was more important than this experiment to Sharjah. These crazy scientists were similar to them, the only difference was their direction.

Luo Fei looked at the news that Sharjah had downloaded.

It was about a world war erupting. His eyes widened. Aslan was too cunning. Arbiter had to swallow it.

Lear just swept through it without feeling surprised. Kashawen was indeed Kashawen. A great strategist. Decisive and ruthless when she needed to be. Her own daughter was used as a bargaining chip. She was really the character to achieve great things.

The Saint and Aslan, this world had become interesting. It was the kind of world he desired. The kind Lear wanted to live on. His desire to obtain power got even stronger. How could he bear to die in such an interesting world!

“What about Wang Zheng and the rest?” Lear asked.

“According to the news from the Locks family, Lie Xin and Achilles are in place, but Wang Zheng doesn’t seem to be doing anything,” Sharjah said. Actually, he felt that there would be no need for Lear to care about these small fries once he broke through his limits. Of course, this was the mentality of humans.

Lear didn’t say anything. These people underestimated Wang Zheng. All of this didn’t matter. The only thing that could perhaps defeat Wang Zheng was women.

Xiao Fei returned as well. Aslan had tried their best to retain her, but she had decided to return to the Solar System immediately after she obtained certain information.

Xiao Fei was also the first person Wang Zheng wanted to meet after he came back. He felt that he should seek Xiao Fei’s council.

They could see that the sexy principal was in great spirit ever since she learned that Wang Zheng had escaped the Oracle Star.

Wang Zheng walked around Ares College with a cap. He had not been back for a few years and there had been lots of changes. They had obtained superior resources and had more diversified sources of students now. Their degree of internationalization reflected on the level of the college.

The school was revamped and had an expanded floor space. They had, however, maintained their overall style. There was only one significant change, and that was the elements of Wang Zheng and the Saruman Snake battle team could be seen everywhere in the college.

Wang Zheng was now the spiritual leader of Ares College. After escaping the Oracle Star, Wang Zheng had been very tense. He knew that Aslan and Arbiter’s war was just about to happen, but it didn’t seem to have much impact elsewhere. Wang Zheng suddenly felt that he was getting old as he heard the laughter, ideals, and fighting spirits of the current students.

He wasn’t very much older, but his experiences were more than what most people would experience in a lifetime. Wang Zheng hadn’t been this relaxed for quite some time. He could feel his mind clearing up and the mess in his head was about to have a breakthrough.

He adjusted his cap snugly against his head and walked towards Xiao Fei’s office. They hadn’t met for quite some time. How was she doing?

He pushed the door open slightly. Xiao Fei raised her head and stared at the guy in the cap.

“Come in!”

“Class of X5289, Wang Zheng, reporting to the Principal!” Wang Zheng saluted and smiled. “Miss Principal, you’re more beautiful than before!”

Wang Zheng’s flattery wasn’t very good, but he was speaking the truth. Xiao Fei’s current status was extremely good, to Wang Zheng’s surprise. Xiao Fei stood up. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but she had obviously put more effort into her make up today.

The most beautiful Principal in the Milky Way Alliance smiled her most radiant. “Welcome back, Wang Zheng.”

Wang Zheng was a student, a fellow researcher, and a reliable man at times to Xiao Fei. It was strange how Xiao Fei got hooked onto this spiritual reliance on him.

“I heard that Senior Tucker is back. When can I meet him?” Xiao Fei had admired him for the longest time.

“Old Merchant is in Tita now. It is probably the safest there. Both the Saint and the Aslan Empire would probably create trouble for him.”

Xiao Fei nodded. “Tita should be the safest place now. The Aslan Empire’s energy is now on the Arbiter Republic. They won’t come over any time soon. As for the Saint, well, they’ll probably do the same. Kashawen would definitely not lose the pound over the pence. They will wait.”

Xiao Fei had never stepped foot into the Oracle Star, but she had her own views about this as well. She might even have a clearer view since Wang Zheng might be biased.

“I feel assured now. I was wondering why they’ve yet to come for me over the past few days.” Wang Zheng jested at himself.

“What plans do you have for the future, Wang Zheng?” Xiao Fei smiled.

Wang Zheng had never hidden anything from Xiao Fei. Aina and Huiyin were younger than him and relied on him, while Xiao Fei felt like a big sister. Wang Zheng shrugged to the question. “General Meng Ao gave me a choice, but I’m still undecided.”

Xiao Fei didn’t seem to be surprised. “Do you find something amiss?”

Wang Zheng nodded, but he didn’t know where the problem was.

Xiao Fei smiled playfully and made Wang Zheng a cup of coffee. The whole process was slow and delicate. Wang Zheng wasn’t in a hurry either. It seemed like he could just relax here. The outside world was thrilling and exciting, but home was where the heart was.

She placed the fragrant coffee in front of Wang Zheng. “Try my brew. A must for late nights. This is the one thing I’m good at other than research.”

Wang Zheng inhaled the fragrance. “Wow, this is unrivaled. The person who marries you will be so fortunate.”

Xiao Fei pinched Wang Zheng’s face. “Rascal, you’re rather bold, eh. You even dare to flirt with me after your trip out.”

“Aiyaa, Miss Principal, image, image.” Wang Zheng retracted immediately.

Xiao Fei was also appreciating her own coffee. “Do you know why I’m so relaxed now? It’s because I know what I have to do now that I know Aslan is the mastermind. Return to Earth, my home. If the war arrives, I’ll defend this place. I will help neither Arbiter nor Aslan. I would have stopped this war if I could, but I couldn’t.”

This was the key. Humans were programmed to separate if they were together for too long and vice versa. The Aslan Empire and the Arbiter Republic had been at peace for too long. In fact, if Aslan hadn’t initiated, Arbiter Republic might not have stayed idle. Under Ryan’s effective control, the desire for war was suppressed, but it couldn’t be extinguished. War was inevitable, the existence of the Saint just made things more complicated and dangerous.

“What should I do then?” Wang Zheng waved his hand helplessly. He realized something through Xiao Fei’s words. There was no good and evil in this war. Most of the participating countries were probably there for themselves.

“Only you will know your own route. I can only analyze for you as your teacher and your big sister. General Meng Ao doesn’t think that the opinions he gave you were good either. If they were, he would have asked you to join the army directly. He didn’t do that because you are different from Achilles and Lie Xin. Entering the army will just waste your talent. More importantly, the reason why you are so strong in battles is because you are fighting for your own reasons. If you were to be a soldier, no one would explain anything to you. You would just follow orders.” Xiao Fei smiled. This rascal still regarded himself as a student even though he wasn’t one anymore. He had grown so much stronger since.

He already had an imposing air without himself knowing. If he were to join the Earth’s army… Who knows what would happen? Even Meng Ao wouldn’t be enough to control him.

It was awkward for Wang Zheng. This was where he was confused. He wasn’t afraid of battles, nor death. He knew what it was for every time he battled. For the glory of the school, for his comrades, for Li Yizhuo, for the Greatest King in SIG… He had his insistence.

Wang Zheng wasn’t suited for a life of calm.

Xiao Fei knew Wang Zheng too well. That passion needed a place to release.
