Wang Zheng smiled.
There’s not much that I hide.


I heard that Her Highness Aina liked you in the past.
Dong Er asked the most burning question in her heart. Without seeing for her own eyes, she had never thought that any man would be fit for Princess Aina.
Wang Zheng was stunned. He pondered it for a while, then smiled.
Actually, it was me with the crush. I didn’t think that it would bring so much inconvenience to her.

Seeing Wang Zheng’s smile, there was a wrenching in Huiyin’s heart. Her eyes were red. She was clear that it had been a mutual interest, not a crush.

Mm, mm. This guy isn’t bad. He mans up!
Ouyang Ruoliu was a little surprised. Any other man would have boasted. Men just liked to show off. They would not be able to lower their head about something like this.


Dong Er was a little surprised, but very happy. As for Wang Zheng having girlfriends before, she did not mind. It would be strange at this age if he had not. And that his ex was Princess Aina was something you could hold your head high about.

I feel like we can be friends,
Dong Er said. This person was not detestable.
Wang Zheng smiled. He could feel that girls like her were flowers in the greenhouse. They were clever, and had a good heart, but were on a different class from him. His future was full of challenge and killings. It was a path full of thistles. Any who wanted to be his friend had to be like Ai Xiaolu. Without the right frame of mind, they would get hurt.

I came this time wanting to ask for your help on something. And it’s also an opportunity,
Wang Zheng said.

Oh, go on, go on.


I know HU Group is a famous shipping company. My friend’s KO Group has a shipping line that needs a professional partner.

Dong Er was stunned for half a beat… This person had asked her out for this?
In the adjourning room, three jaws had dropped as well. Was this man a fool? His EQ was so low, it left one marvelling. At such a time, the girl had already made her interest clear. Being friends was basically the first step cleared. But he had suddenly come up with such a wet blanket….

You mean the shipping line from Tita to Maklou, right?
Dong Er was not too surprised.

You’re aware?
That surprised Wang Zheng.


Dong Er did not know what to say. Of course she knew. Firstly, she was not an idiot. Those like her had received the highest echelon of elite education, and her own family was even more professional. Besides, it was related to Wang Zheng. How could she not know? But to raise something like this at this time, what could Wang Zheng be intending?
Suddenly, Dong Er understood. Wang Zheng said this to fix the notion of
friend
, and did not want to take this a step further.
He meant that he did not wish for their relationship to develop further.
Clever people did not need to speak too directly. At the same time, he had given Dong Er enough reason to reject his excuse. Dong Er understood, but she was not happy!
Perhaps she really could not compare to Her Highness Aina, but what about the rest?
Besides Princess Aina, she would not bow to anybody!
In the next room, her three companions were going crazy, waiting on Dong Er. If this had been Ouyang Ruoliu, she would have beaten him up.
Just as everyone was waiting on Dong Er to attack, Dong Er suddenly smiled.
You pose a difficult question. How about this: if your Saruman Snake battle team enters the top eight, I’ll give it a try. Top four, and I’ll make a fuss in front of my mother.


And if we win?
Wang Zheng asked. Ai Xiaolu had said that HU was the most suitable right now, especially in the foundational construction phase of the route. This group was undoubtedly the perfect fit.

Win?
Dong Er was stunned. This person really slighted all the heroes in this world. This was Aslan!



If you win, then it will definitely happen!
Dong Er said.
Wang Zheng nodded.
A deal!

Compared to the cuter girls aside from Dong Er, he preferred her more serious side.

That’s right. Who is the person in charge of KO Group? I’ll go find out more about the situation first,
Dong Er suddenly asked.

Yan Xiaosu. Or I could put you in touch?


Not necessary. Not a problem for me.
Dong Er smiled slightly. Sounded like a guy. That was good.
Finished with the main event, Wang Zheng made his excuse and left. What else was more important than SIG?
After Wang Zheng left, the other three girls walked out.

Dong Er, what is going on? If I were you, I would beat him up first. So crass!
Ouyang Ruoliu burst.
And to think he actually dared to talk about the championship. What arrogance! Where does it come from!


Our Dong Er is moved.
Qian Xuedie observed with equanimity.



No way. Dong Er, you like these types?
Huiyin asked.

Taste changes, right? Besides, my family is twisting my arm. Rather than an unreliable type, using him as a meat shield isn’t bad. At least I can have some good times.

Dong Er smiled. She had to go back and understand the situation.
The preliminaries had carried on in full swing for seven days, and the final 128 teams had emerged. At this stage, the broadcast to the outside world was switched off.
The preliminaries’ conduct did not pose much of a danger. Any injuries were minor. But now it was an actual military competition, and life and death were on the line. This was not suitable for a large scale broadcast.
Besides, many important people from the military world would be attending the main event. The previous section was just noise. And these clever foxes were clear that many would not be happy with Aslan’s way of doing things. But they could not say it. After all, there was no free lunch in the world.
Formal evaluation begins.
It was still the same venue, but now there were only 128 captains left.
Akerlof looked down at the 128 fighters. There was a very clear difference from the last time. Less chatter, and the venue no longer looked like a market.

I think all of you already know that what follows is the qualifiers. As a leader and member competition, elimination of the leader will immediately eliminate the team. If the team does not have numbers to make the four, then they are also eliminated,
Akerlof stated emotionlessly. There was still no sound in the venue.
All of you are Ability X users, and I know many among you are Earth rank. That is why your first test is Ability X.



The 128 were quickly divided into four groups. There was no tiering system here, just plain and simple groups.
Outside the venue, transport hovercraft had been prepared, and everyone moved quickly. There was no chatter from start to end. The formal competition had begun. What was to come only asked for brains and action, no mouth. Although perhaps teeth could be a weapon.
The 32 people sitting in the hovercraft did not say a word. Nobody knew what awaited them, or where they were going. They did not even know what the situation of their own members was.
As they alighted from the hovercraft, each person was given a hood. When Wang Zheng took it off, he found himself in a sealed room which felt like a laboratory.

Sit there,
the soldier beside him said without emotion.
Wang Zheng sat on the chair. The moment he sat, his entire body was controlled.

Upcoming is an Ability X test. Endure 10 minutes for stability. The weakest 10 are eliminated.

Wang Zheng nodded.
At the same time in tens of other rooms, the other captains were undergoing the same tests as Wang Zheng.
This was Aslan’s military laboratory base. The teams and military from the various countries were all present.
Jiang Feng was in the crowd as well. The Aslan Royal College’s head, Lin Hong, was doing the explanation.
This is the newest equipment we researched to determine the cerebral functions of humans. We deploy it in this test. After about five minutes, we will know a user’s limits, and then determine the endurance. Ability to endure for five minutes without too much of a strain is the sign of basic Ability X.
Perhaps Ability X came in many different forms, but in the end it was a matter of class. For example, time stop could only be used on a roughly equal or lower class. It would be heavily discounted against strong users. That was why Lin Hong used this to demonstrate an Ability X user’s might.

Professor Lin. As for the user response, is it a fixed simulation model, or a subconscious model?


Normally we use the fixed simulation model, and begin with the basics to determine the stability of the fighter. But this test will use the subconscious model. After all, the participants this time around are all elites from various countries, and leaders to boot. The other members will undergo a fixed simulation model.

Lin Hong replied smilingly.
