Chapter 1297 - The 256 Point Blade Techniques

The banquet was uneventful, but Mitchell had tugged behind Wang Zheng like a shadow. It was impossible to escape her not because Mitchell was unbeatable, but because he couldn’t just disregard her. That was Kashawen’s bottom line.

“Sir, is it alright to leave Wang Zheng like this?” asked the secretary.

Kashawen reviewed the documents and rubbed her forehead gently. She delayed many things because of SIG. The biggest task in front of her was to get Ryan to step down and place herself in his position. It was slightly difficult, but it wasn’t the hardest part. The hardest part was to get Aslan’s replacement into place. Arbiter and Manalasuo were ruthless and ungrateful.

“As long as it isn’t too much. Actually, I made a mistake earlier on. The more I objected to Wang Zheng and Aina’s relationship, the tighter they would stick together. Relationships are not the most important things in the world. Wang Zheng won’t stay idle now that SIG has ended. Find something for him even if he has nothing to do. I remember that he has a small company or something.”

“Yes, the KO Group. It has Tita and Maklou at its axis and is developing well. However, I know for a fact that Wang Zheng is not directly involved in it. He isn’t very sensitive to money according to intel.”

Kashawen glanced at the secretary with dissatisfaction. “Think from another angle then! Do I need to teach you that as well!?”

“Yes, Prime Minister.”

Kashawen continued nursing her forehead. Wang Zheng was really difficult to deal with. He responded neither to hard nor soft approaches. The members of the Genesis Coffee Club were very concerned about him. These scientists were weirdos, reacting negatively to hard approaches. It was Aslan’s huge headache. Some of them could not be offended, and Kashawen was really busy as well. It was impossible to deal with Wang Zheng all day long.

She really had no energy to keep this up.

A knock came. Kashawen allowed the visitor to enter.

It was Lin Feng. Lin Feng had gone through a rough patch over the past two days as well. It was the first failure he had experienced — and at such a critical point — ever since he was born. It was a huge blow to him.

“Prime Minister, you were looking for me,” Lin Feng started, still calm.

Kashawen grimaced. “Have a seat. Don’t be too uptight, it isn’t working hours now. How were the past few days? I bet it wasn’t easy.”

Lin Feng wasn’t a kid. He had experienced many things at such an age. However, such a failure had nothing to do with his age in his country. It wasn’t half bad for him to be able to carry on to this stage.

“Yes.”

“We’ll just be having a casual chat. How skillful do you think Wang Zheng is now? There must be a reason for him to make you admit defeat,” Kashawen said lightly.

Kashawen didn’t want Lin Feng to die, but she didn’t need a coward. She wanted to know the reason.

“Wang Zheng had lost his resistance initially, but it suddenly raised again, and I don’t know why. That was a Heaven-rank aura.”

“I know the strength of those with Heaven-rank, he is definitely not there yet,” Kashawen said.

Lin Feng’s eyes dimmed. “His spiritual power didn’t even reach A-rank but the technique was at Heaven-rank. I wouldn’t be able to withstand that blow if it was pointed at me.”

“You mean that he can only be dealt with by a Heaven-rank warrior?” Kashawen asked with a frown.

“Yes, and even those at Heaven-rank would have trouble dealing with him, given a few years.”

“How many Earth-rank warriors do we need?” Kashawen’s question was obviously about how many were necessary to kill Wang Zheng.

Lin Feng shook his head bitterly. “Numbers are meaningless if he makes up his mind to flee.”

Kashawen tapped the table lightly. Wang Zheng’s growth potential exceeded her estimates. It wouldn’t be that unacceptable for him to be Aina’s husband if Wang Zheng was willing to serve Aslan.

“What do you have in mind?” Kashawen asked.

Lin Feng stood up. “I’m requesting to enter the Abyssal. There will not be a second failure!”

Kashawen peered at Lin Feng for a moment and nodded. “Go, remember your responsibility. A leader is a leader not because he has strong combat power, but for his ability to lead. You didn’t lose to Wang Zheng in terms of individual combat power, but the power to unleash the potential of the whole team. He climbed up from the bottom, so he knew how to maximize each resource. That is what you have to learn. Your failure this time is a good thing for you. Remember, you’ll be stronger as long as you manage to stand back up.”

“Yes!” Lin Feng gave a respectful bow. The knot in his heart wasn’t fully untied, but he was still clear on his path.

SIG was already over, but all glory was past. Of course, the craze was still going on for many people. Wang Zheng and his team would be holding this crown for some time, but they had to move forward.

Achilles and Lie Xin’s application for their withdrawal from school had been approved. They were unable to be freed from the arrangements from their families after all. Their fates were sealed from the moment they were born to families with great political power in the Solar System.

Zhang Shan didn’t plan on returning to Earth. He liked Elite Academy X and he felt that he had many areas he could improve on. Also, he could be in charge now that the prominent ones were gone. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. He still hoped to graduate from Elite Academy X. At the same time, the will of Saruman Snake would need to be inherited.

Mu Zhen didn’t plan to leave either. He was still rather new in Elite Academy X anyway. It would be good for Mu Zhen to further his studies in the perspective of Tita as well. The Titans were paving the way to send more giants and wise men to Elite Academy X. It was necessary to integrate into the Milky Way Alliance if they wanted to become stronger. Even the people of Tita understood this truth now.

Vincent, Ao Ziwei, and the rest decided to stay as well. After all, the system and their backgrounds determined their paths.

Schools were wonderful. Everything would be different once they graduated and stepped into society. Everyone would then have to make a choice.

Ai Xiaolu and the rest didn’t really care. They were more excited to see what Wang Zheng would decide.

If Wang Zheng was prepared to marry into Aina’s family, then... That would be the end of them. However, Ai Xiaolu knew that this was impossible with Wang Zheng’s character. She saw this very clearly. Kashawen might want to cage Wang Zheng up, but love was love, life was life. Wang Zheng would definitely walk his own path, unless Aina were to bewitch him. Ai Xiaolu felt that Wang Zheng would be able to walk a very unique path, no matter the odds. Caring about what others thought was impossible now that he was even made the champion of the SIG!

Life was challenging and energizing only when there was a pursuit of incredible and meaningful goals!

However, Ai Xiaolu didn’t want to instigate Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was, of course, not with Aina at night. The courtyard was not lacking in guest rooms. Mitchell enforced the rules of the royal family strictly. She persuaded Aina and Huiyin to separate from Wang Zheng with no qualms at all.

The others were drunk or just about drunk, except for Ai Xiaolu, so she asked Wang Zheng her burning question.

Everything seemed fine now that they had obtained the SIG championship, but what was next?

Everyone else’s goals were clear since most of them were decided by their families, but what about him?

Sometimes, he wondered if he was picked up from a trash can or something. Weren’t his parents on holiday for a tad too long? Should he remain in Elite Academy X?

That didn’t hold much meaning to him. His ability was way above the rest. It would only breed his vanity if he were to stay here longer. Achilles and the rest knew this very well.

Wang Zheng wanted neither money nor power, so what did he want?

Ai Xiaolu’s question caught Wang Zheng like a deer in the headlights. He was happy with Aina, but it wasn’t his personal goal.

Yan Xiaosu’s snores filled the room not long after they returned to it. That rascal just refused to leave, even if it meant leaving his wife alone. He even dominated Wang Zheng’s bed.

Wang Zheng couldn’t sleep though.

There were too many things to tend to. He had received an explosion of invitations — from Elite Academy X, Ares College, Tita, Maklou, and many others — however, these weren’t what Wang Zheng wanted.

He seemed to have had a glimpse into enlightenment through his battle with Lin Feng. It was a wonderful and attractive power that brought the mysteries of the world.

Perhaps he should have a good chat with Charcoal first.

Charcoal seemed to have expected Wang Zheng’s arrival in the Rubik’s Cube.

“Point Blade Technique?”

Wang Zheng was stunned. What the hell?

Charcoal laughed. “Actually, my Primordial Regression Technique is the first half of the Point Blade Technique. Bonehead’s is the second half. I merely adjusted the order, and the output is the complete Point Blade Technique.”

“Are you referring to the Point Blade Technique of the Saint World?”

“Yes, the complete set. I can only do this. The rest can only be achieved by yourself,” Charcoal said. “I thought you would need another year or two, I didn’t expect you to do it in such a short time.”

Wang Zheng wouldn’t have been able to improve so fast if it wasn’t for the pressure from SIG. Aragorn, Lin Feng, and the rest had stimulated Wang Zheng’s fighting spirit. Zhang Shan and the gang’s support was also a source of motivation.

“The complete Point Blade Technique can uncover the truth about power. However, you are currently too weak and only have the power to protect yourself. You have to be careful,” Charcoal said.

The former Saint Church, the current Saint, the change in era, and the change in nature. There was no telling what would happen to the world if this power fell into the wrong hands.

This was the Power of the Oracle that the Saint had been searching for. Only, they weren’t looking for a successor, but how to seize this power for themselves. The candidates for the Son of Saint were bait from the beginning. Of course, only the best could finally inherit the power of the Saint. Nonetheless, they would use all means necessary to obtain the Power of the Oracle once it appeared.

Charcoal, the Saint, and Wang Zheng didn’t know that the power had appeared. No one knew where the future was headed.

The Saint could not rule over humans, but they could lead the world into chaos. They could attract those in power and become an unstoppable force of God. What else could be more alluring?
