The beam saber vibrated and the golden wheel was knocked away embedding itself into the wall.
After a round of exchanges, Li Yizhuo could feel his blood boiling too. Although the previous strike might look simple, the exhaustion on him was extremely huge. There were probably only a small handful of people who could use such a move in the entire Milky Way Alliance.
Wang Zheng was truly stunned by Old Zhuo’s move. This was definitely not an Ability X. He had thought that he was completely in control after the consecutive attacks initially. It would be the case under normal circumstances. Unexpectedly, Old Zhuo was able to understand the control of the golden wheel and executed this twirling sword play.
All attacks had their set of moves. No matter how weird, fanciful or if was constantly changing, there would always be some clues. It was just that others could not understand them in a real battle. The strong attacks of the Golden Wheel were for suppressing the opponent using high frequency attacks which were full of explosive force and rotational damage. From the moment it connected, it would not give the opponent a chance to retaliate and the barrage of attacks would not stop until the opponent was dead.
However what Wang Zheng witnessed today was of a completely different level. What Old Zhuo had demonstrated was solid battle foundations and unreasonable suppression.
Wang Zheng smiled. It would be interesting from this point onwards. It was a pity that he only had one wheel. If two wheels were to strike at the same time, he wasn’t sure if Old Zhuo would be able to handle it.
Suddenly, the left leg of the Golden Wheel seemed to be pulled by something. The mech immediately tried to shake it off but the Beggar had already moved towards him. The beam saber slashed towards him in an instant. Just when Wang Zheng tried to defend, the control of the mech seemed to be disrupted. After a delay, he tried to move backwards again.
Ability X!
It should be an Ice attribute Ability X. However, how could it be so silent???

Hehehe, kid. This is the micro-control of a B rank Ability X and is the difference between a formless attack and one that can be physically observed.
laughed Old Zhuo. It was only then that Wang Zheng realised that the Ability X was flickering and was executed over space. It was simply hard to defend against an attack like this.
Wang Zheng could not achieve this level of micro-control. This was also an eye-opening experience for him that Ability X could also be used in such a way. He could only release his entire Fire attribute Ability X to cover the surface of the mech. Although the rank of it wasn’t as strong as Old Zhuo, he still hadn’t reached the stage where he couldn’t do anything about the opponent’s moves.
However, the difference was shown this time. With his level of mastery, the exhaustion of his opponent would at most be 10 percent of his. Moreover, the rank of his opponent’s Ability X was still higher than him.
Old Zhuo was chatting as he moved his Beggar closer to suppress Wang Zheng. It was as though it had been a long time since he had the chance to bully a small kid and he seemed extremely happy. As for Wang Zheng, he had never been suppressed in such a way before.
All along, he had been known for his physical techniques. Although everyone had said that Ability X was strong, he didn’t feel so. However he was able to experience it this time. In fact, when one could maximise the micro-control of Ability X, it would be similar to physical techniques. Everything would be decided by the details and wasn’t about purely about the quantity.
Boom…
Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel was sent flying backwards. With Old Zhuo’s disruption, Wang Zheng couldn’t fight properly at all. He wanted to control the tempo but physical techniques were still slower than Ability X. It was especially so as the mobility of the Golden Wheel wasn’t sufficient and couldn’t seize the initiative like the Wind God or the Phantom King. Once he had lost the golden wheel, he could only take the beating.
Old Zhuo was stunned slightly. The force in the previous hit shouldn’t be that great… Something was wrong.
The direction where Wang Zheng was sent flying was towards the golden wheel. The Golden Wheel pulled the golden wheel out from the wall directly.
Old Zhuo was rather happy instead.
Kid, you truly are sly. If you have any ultimate moves, feel free to use it. Tsk. If the Elite Academy X couldn’t beat the Milky Way Military College, it would be rather embarrassing.


Old Zhuo, how could you even say this when your Ability X is only of B rank. Watch out! Windflame Wheel!

Wang Zheng shouted as his interests doubled. This was a rare opportunity to spar with a real pro.
The golden wheel started spinning rapidly while being engulfed by flames. Folowing which, Wind attributed element was added into it. The Flaming Wheel was truly awe inspiring. This was an ultimate move using 2 complementary elemental attributes. However Wang Zheng’s…
Bang…
The flame extinguished instantly. The Beggar had already struck. To be showing off his Ability X in front of a top-notch Ability X user… Even Old Zhuo would not do so. He had to cool the arrogance of this youngster.
Rubbing…
The beam saber missed its target. The Golden Wheel executed a dodge with and high frequency steps. Wang Zheng’s beam saber slashed down with a back hand.
Old Zhuo was also a little surprised and blocked it with his sword with a back hand.
Boom…
Old Zhuo’s face had changed. This kid specialised in physical techniques!
Leaning Landslide!
Rumbling…
Wang Zheng almost connected instantly. What was supposedly a sure-hit move did not strike the Beggar but was completely stopped by a thick layer of ice shield. Using the momentum, the beggar immediately retreated.

Let’s not continue fighting. Rest. Time for a rest.
mumbled Old Zhuo.
Kid, so you specialised in physical techniques!

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. The truth was that his Ability X wasn’t that bad. This type of Wind and Fire Combination Ability X was rather eye-catching. However, it seemed not enough in the eyes of Old Zhuo. Wang Zheng also had to admit that the way Old Zhuo used his Ability X was the way of the King. It was similar to the realm of physical techniques that he had achieved.

I had trained my physical techniques a little more as I always couldn’t master the micro-control of Ability X.


Tsk. Kid you are only a student from Huang Grade … Wait, what did you say? You were from Huang Class 7?
Li Yizhuo opened his mouth widely.
Dmn, a kid that knew Combination Ability X could only make it to Huang Class 7? How brutal is the Elite Academy now?

The reason why Old Zhuo wanted to freeze the Flaming Wheel was because the destructive force of this move was too great. Although the silencing and anti-vibration effects of this place were rather good, it would also cause a huge commotion. This type of move couldn’t be withstood completely.

During the examination, they were only examining the control of my Ability X. I was weaker in this aspect.
said Wang Zheng.

That’s what I was saying. Kid, your physical techniques are truly terrifying. Physical techniques and Ability X should be complementary. You can even use a Combination Ability. Based on common reasoning, you should be an expert in both.
Old Zhuo couldn’t understand part of it. Having multiple Abilities in itself was representative of one’s potential. Moreover Wang Zheng could already use a Combination Ability X but how could his foundation be so weak? Everyone started from below and moved higher. As for him, it was the opposite.
However after listening to Wang Zheng’s explanation, Old Zhuo was still dumbfounded. Wang Zheng was someone who went on this path halfway through and surprisingly had not attended the Academy X. He was truly a strange case to be able to reach this stage by taking the unconventional way.
Old Zhuo had finished asking but Wang Zheng was full of questions.
Old Zhuo, what Grade did you belong to? How did you do that just now?

Old Zhuo was using ice freeze. It was clearly not a special ability but surprisingly it was more stealthily than special abilities.

Me? In terms of battling prowess, I’m probably of the Earth Grade with Mid grade B rank Ability X. I didn’t specialize in battle therefore there’s nothing much to see.
Old Zhuo was surprisingly humble. This had almost caused Wang Zheng to spit blood as this made him who specialized in battle look extremely bad.

How do you classify one to be Earth Grade? Was Mid Grade B rank Ability X the benchmark?

The key isn’t this but on one’s control of Ability X. Once you enter B rank, to increase the strength of one’s ability X becomes even harder. Therefore, the key is about control.
said Old Zhuo.
Techniques like the Windflame Wheel of yours should not be used often on the battlefield. This is because it will exhaust you and you don’t have any follow up. Other than that, you will also be easily targeted.

Wang Zheng didn’t know what else to say as he really had no other solutions. With his understanding of physical techniques, he clearly knew that moves like these were extremely exhausting.

Old Zhuo, give me some advice.

Old Zhuo rested on his mech, took out a cigar and lighted it. After spitting a few circles, he said,
Looking at your age, it is already something incredible that you have had such achievements. Did you ever think about the fact that Ability X isn’t something that can be achieved in one go. In fact, you probably understand this reason. Physical techniques and Ability X are similar. If you spend the time and effort you had spent on physical technique on Ability X and balance it out, you would definitely have some rewards. One more thing, Ability X is way more important than physical techniques in the Abyss. An Ability X with insufficient destructive force would always require double the effort for the same job no matter how strong one’s physical techniques were.
Wang Zheng nodded. Thinking about t, he had spent much more time and effort on physical techniques than on Ability X. As he was more comfortable with physical techniques, it had further affected this aspect. Recently, all his efforts were spent on Atomic Burst which was the epitome of physical technique. It seemed that he had strayed. He had been thinking that mastering Knife’s Edge Technique was the solution and had forgotten the root of the problem.
Seeing that Wang Zheng was thinking about it seriously, Old Zhuo also smiled. It was rare to see someone who had these abilities at his age that would calm down. If it was him, he wouldn’t be able to do so too.

In fact, there is a trick to it.
Old Zhuo took huge breaths to purposely tease Wang Zheng. However this kid wasn’t panicking.
There’s no other way. Practice makes perfect!

The truth was that other than having talent, being enlightened and others, there was an unparalleled reasoning —Practice makes perfect!
The reason why his physical techniques had reached this stage was entirely because of the hell-like repetitive training from Bonehead.
When it was about physical techniques, he instinctively relied on progressive steps. When it came to Ability X, he had been thinking of taking short cuts. Student Wang was able to see it suddenly.
