Chapter 777: The Fortunes of a Genius
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Snow Li nodded her head slightly to acknowledge all the greetings. She directly sat beside Wang Zheng. During this period of time, they have grown very familiar. Snow Li would also not be shy with Wang Zheng. She originally did not intend to come but her bestie Ai Xiaolu still strongly suggested that she come. It looked like they became more familiar but this was not a good sign. There was a possibility to change from lovers to becoming just friends but if Wang Zheng did not treat her as a girl, and only as a comrade, then the situation was even more desperate.
Wang Zheng on the other hand did not feel anything and continued chatting with Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu. Just right, he had two local bosses with him. Perhaps he could experience the unique scenery of the Hail Cloud Alliance, the country of ice.
Except, this type of situation where one guy was sandwiched in between two girls made many guys present very unhappy in their hearts.
Just as everyone was guessing about the relationship between Wang Zheng and Snow Li, there was another commotion in the space ship.
“Shien Cronode! Why is he here!”
As the voices travelled to them, Ai Xiaolu who was smiling just now immediately had a face of disgust.
This made Wang Zheng curious. It was rare for Ai Xiaolu to act this way. “Why? You know him?”
“Just a perverted nouveau rich. He’s a pest.”
Just hearing the name, Ai Xiaolu’s mood was totally destroyed. “You’ve never heard of him? In this round of new students, he is one of the fiercest. A white-washed hellhound from the underworld. He really thinks of himself as a nobility.”
Snow Li smiled. “Xiaolu’s family and his family are opponents. The Cronode family is the biggest loan shark group for the surrounding few planetary systems.”
Just as Ai Xiaolu wanted to say something, she saw a few people walking over from the cabins.
The person walking right in front had a cold aura. His face was angular, with deep set eyes. His hair was carefully styled. One look and you could tell he was a very attractive man.
No doubt, he was the nouveau rich, Shien Cronode, whom Ai Xiaolu was talking about...
Wang Zheng touched his chin, where did he look like a dog? He had quite the air of a noble; at least his looks had quite the style and aura.
Shien Cronode’s eyes looked over lightly and walked over. He looked straight at Snow Li and slightly bowed. He used an attractive yet polite voice to say: “Ms Snow, we meet again. Knowing that you are going to take part in the Hail Cloud Alliance Trial, I feel that I should take part too. I cannot overlook the appeal of my own planet’s trial just because I’m from the Hail Cloud Alliance, am I right? Ms Ai Xiaolu.”
Ai Xiaolu snorted lightly and turned her head away. She ignored the tinge of challenge in Shien Cronode’s tone.
From Ai Xiaolu’s attitude, you could tell that while she was unhappy, it was most likely the other party’s family had quite the power. If not, based on Ai Xiaolu’s attitude, she would have directly used her shoe and whacked him with it.
Snow Li nodded her head lightly. “I’m sorry, I’m having a chat with my friends.” An extended hand never hits a smiling face. Snow Li also could not say anything else.
“Okay, I’m just extending a greeting. Then I shall not disturb.”
Shien Cronode smiled and turned. He brought his people to the other end of the cabin. The distance between his steps were accurate, as though they had been measured.
“Don’t be cheated by his appearance. This guy’s true face is a cold blooded animal. He coming together with us is definitely a plot. We must be careful.” Ai Xiaolu said. “I don’t even know how he got into the Elite Academy!”
Wang Zheng smiled slightly. It was rare to see Ai Xiaolu so angry.
“What are you smiling for, don’t you believe me!”
“How could that be, one look and I know that guy is not good. I stand steadfast by senior Xiaolu.” Wang Zheng immediately took a stance.
“That’s better.” Ai Xiaolu’s nose wrinkled. She was very satisfied with at how fast Wang Zheng replied her.
Except everyone was all discussing about Shien Cronode. As long as you were of ice elemental Ability X, you would know about the Hail Cloud Alliance. And recently, the Cronode family was a relatively fierce new power of the Hail Cloud Alliance. It was rumored that they had power in both the dark and light sides of society.
There were indeed a lot of new individuals in this intake of new Elite Academy students. And for some unknown considerations, there actually was quite an increase in the number of heirs to the various powers of the Milky Way Alliance. Of course, this was not something Wang Zheng and his group could interfere in.
...
“If only he was born in the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon...”
“Cronode family. Anyone with a bit of understanding of the Hail Cloud Alliance would know that they are the rule makers of the dark side...”
“Dark?”
“Heh heh, at this age, where would there be a clear divide between the dark and light?”
.....
The private ship of the Elite Academy X very quickly passed the approval of the space port. It sped up quickly and left the gravitational pull of Roland Garros. A flash later, they entered space warp.
The teacher in charge of this round’s Hail Cloud Alliance trial walked out from the pilot’s cabin only after the space ship steadied. He was about 1.70 metres and looked easygoing. “Everyone, I’m Wei Jicheng, your instructing teacher for this round’s Hail Cloud Alliance. En, the journey is a bit long, now I’ll take attendance and at the same time make arrangements for the rooms...”
There was no luxurious treatment for the private ship of the X Elite Academy. There were quite a lot of people going to Hail Cloud Alliance this time. An average of two people would stay in one dorm.
“Lei Shu, Tang Pei, room 4..... Wang Zheng, Cai Yingmeng, you two are in room 7.....”
Cai Yingmeng was a boy of well-portioned physique. He had a square face, his head looked a bit flat, especially for the forehead. It was a little like a desk surface. It was so flat that it was impressionable.
“Hi, let’s get to know each other, Wang Zheng, from Earth.” Wang Zheng took the initiative and moved over. He reached out his hand to make a greeting. Some people from small places were very afraid of letting people know where they were from, but Wang Zheng had never been so. He was always proud to be an Earthling.
“I know, I know, I have long heard of your big name. Hehe, just call me Xiao Cai. Xuan class 4.” Cai Yingmeng smiled. He was an enthusiastic person and considered quite senior in the Elite Academy. He was there earlier than Wang Zheng by two years. It was not easy for him to rise to Xuan class 4 and Wang Zheng was already in Xuan class one in just a semester. It was frustrating to compare people against people. He would not compare but was still a little envious in his heart. If he had abilities like Wang Zheng, his future would be unlimited. If he developed well, perhaps in 10 years’ time, the whole Milky Way Alliance would know his name.
The two of them got familiar and headed to room 7 together.
The data had been entered early on. This room, only the two of them could enter.
Entering the room, Cai Yingmeng took one look at Wang Zheng and finally asked the key question: “Ahem, oh yes, I saw just now that you were chatting with Ai Xiaolu and Snow Li. You guys know each other, how’s the relationship like?”
“Ok, I guess. We are all friends. I already knew Snow Li before entering Elite Academy.” Wang Zheng laughed. Recalling about IG now, he still missed that period of time. Until now, that experience had already become an inerasable fortune. The previous opponents had all become friends. Of course, enemies were still enemies.
Cai Yingmeng nodded. “Oh, no wonder, you guys already know each other. I said it, how would Snow Li... Hehe, Snow Li is very famous in the Hail Cloud Alliance. With her to take the lead, this time’s Hail Cloud Alliance trial will be much more convenient. Oh right, I did not mention, this is my third time to the Hail Cloud Alliance.”
Third time? Wang Zheng was also drunk. Under the usual circumstance, to rise using trials at special planets, after the first time, the effect of the twond time will be much worse. From small to big, on a scale of one to nine, the effect of the first time would on average be seven and the twond time, it would reduce to three. For the third time... it was most likely only one.
These, were all content that was explained before the trial.
“Ahem, there’s no other way, my ability is a little special. If I go to other stars for trials, there will be totally no effect at all. While the hope for the third time is a little too uncertain, there is still hope. My goal is to have a breakthrough for my ability to reach at least upper grade C rank, to be able to use “Eternal Freeze”. How about you? What’s your goal for coming to the Hail Cloud Alliance? It’s so fortunate to be with geniuses like you guys.” Cai Yingmeng, on the other hand, was quite honest.
“Goal? I had not really thought of that.” Wang Zheng laughed. He did not feel that it was terrible for Cai Yingmeng to head to the Hail Cloud Alliance three times in a row. On the other hand, he felt that this type of persistence was rare and valuable. As for himself, perhaps he wanted a breakthrough like the one he had for the wind attribute ability on Titatitan Star? He really had not thought of a specific goal. Like Eternal Freeze, that was a special effect of the ice attribute ability. Old Zhuo had mentioned before and Wang Zheng himself have not achieved that.
There was one point that was indeed right. The more elements of Ability X one possessed, although it would look grand and glorious in the early stages but would get more difficult in the later stages. Because to rise Ability X to a certain level, it mainly depended on the depth and understanding. With more abilities, one became less focused and specialized.
Except, Wang Zheng’s ability was there. He liked balance and the cooperative use of various abilities. It was not an option for him to give up on other abilities. Actually on the path to training, no one knew how the future would be like but one point had to be achieved, that was to believe in yourself.
Upon success, that was persistence. Upon failure, that was stubbornness. After all, the rule in this galaxy was to either be a king or loser.
