Chapter 524 Destiny
And then he rushed out happily, casting a disdainful eye at Wang Zheng as he left, leaving Wang Zheng bemused.
Because Wang Zheng\'s test results were all 5 affinities, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
Lin Huiyin was taken aback as well. "How could this be? Do you want to test again?"
"What\'s wrong?"
"Everybody should have one affinity that stands out. If all are equally balanced, then that means nothing stands out. That can\'t be right? You\'re a very strong ability X user, could there have been some error?"
Lin Huiyin mused to herself.
Wang Zheng patted her head. "Little cutie, some things you need not worry about."
Even a virtual world could test his ability. What was tested was not normal. After he had been recalibrated by Charcoal, his Primordial Regression Technique had indeed been balanced across all 5 elements. It seemed like this plaything was pretty accurate.
Wang Zheng was dying to find out what other secrets were hidden within this place!
Lin Huiyin really wanted to spend more time with Wang Zheng. Only when she was with Wang Zheng, she could shed her identity. Since he was her cousin\'s boyfriend, he was practically an elder brother. She loved having someone to rely on. Only, her Skylink notification was telling her that there were matters to attend to outside.
Although she was young, but she knew that once those of the palace found out, they might find ways to stop Wang Zheng and her sister getting together, so Lin Huiyin did not want to arouse Angela\'s suspicion.
Angela was very loyal to her, but still a member of the palace. She had responsibilities to the Aslan Empire. While she could turn a blind eye to some things, but others were out of her control, especially those that did not only concern Lin Huiyin.
Although Aina was also a princess, but in Angela\'s eyes, Lin Huiyin was the most important.
Leaving the Saint world, Lin Huiyin brooded for a while. She opened her wardrobe, intent on choosing her outfit for her appearance later. Different occasions required different attires, and at this moment she felt grateful to Aina. She had no idea how she managed to survive in the past. Such a life drove one crazy.
Angela was already waiting silently by the door. She was ever so patient. With a wave of her hand, the women-in-waiting filed in.
The women-in-waiting of the palace were all carefully chosen, including 3 generational identity checks. They could not be migrants, and could not have any criminal records in the past 3 generations. At the same time, they needed to be professionally trained in aristocrat school to cultivate their manners. Entering the palace was definitely no easy matter.
But exactly because of this, Lin Huiyin was surrounded by boring people.
After Huiyin left, Wang Zheng could move a little more freely. After the test, his system controls had a new notification.
One of them made Wang Zheng happy – 5 Systems Martial Arts Ranking.
It sounded pretty comical, and he wanted to see what it was. He flipped casually to the Fire martial arts.
But a name caught his eye, and Wang Zheng froze in surprise.
The Lie Flame Technique was on the list! It belonged to a 32 Point martial art. Coincidence? Or simply a same-name situation?
But Wang Zheng had no way to find out. On it was listed about 10 different types of martial arts. It looked like 8 Point Blade Techniques was the common basic across all 5 affinities, a foundational Technique. The next step would be the 16 Point Techniques. Once the 32 Point arts were attained, the user would be fearsome.
The Lie Flame Technique was ranked 3rd in the Fire Arts. In the Earth arts, Wang Zheng spotted the Sage Arts as ranked 1st, a 32 Point Technique. If that was true, that would be crazy.
The only pity was that only those who had it would know the truth, but Wang Zheng was really, really hooked.
To others, these things were only useful if you could bring them out. But to Wang Zheng, all he needed was to confirm his understanding of them, which would be sufficient for him to improve by leaps and bounds.
Clearly, nothing much could be accomplished in the Disciple level, which only had the 8 Point Blade Techniques.
To enter the Acolyte level, one needed to finish 16 training missions, and also finish mastering the 8 Point Blade Techniques.
Of course, if one merely wished to visit the Acolyte level, it was not prohibited. It was a simple matter of forking out the cost of 50 hours.
And so, Wang Zheng tossed that idea out of the window.
Even if one was rich, this was no way to spend money. The creator of the Saint world must have been some Beggar God reincarnated.
After he calmed himself, Wang Zheng headed for the first training objective. There were clear instructions on his map, and the first few missions were all within the Sanctuary.
The first mission was… to do the horse stance…
This was about the same as the Magic Cube. More accurately, it followed the Ancient Earth Civilization\'s path, which further confirmed that they came from the same source.
In the great hall, many people were standing around. Only once the system gave recognition could the mission be considered complete.
"Damn, is it ever ending? I\'ve been standing here for more than a month now. Why hasn\'t it reached completed status yet?"
"Just a month? I\'ve spent more than 1 million here. It\'s been 3 months, and I haven\'t even passed a single training task. If it wasn\'t for…"
Seeing their physical stature, these were not trained people. Perhaps they had just been enlightened.
This was a calculated move. First, a teaser to draw these people in. But given their situation, they were just too far from the right path. Horse stance needed a unity between heart and spirit. Many were just assuming the stance. It would be a miracle if they passed.
Of course, these missions could be passed through spending money. Many who had suffered considerably were contemplating such a course of action. But the price… Wang Zheng did not even have the luxury of contemplating such a thing.
Reaching his position, the circle was infused with light. Wang Zheng assumed a pose.
Before 2 seconds were up, the red light in the circle changed to green.
Passed…
Instantly, everyone around him was shocked. One look at Wang Zheng\'s attire, and they knew that he was as raw as a newbie got. How could this guy have passed just by squatting for a moment???
Damn, they had seen a ghost.
Wang Zheng\'s storage space now had a purple crystal card – Horse Stance Insight.
Wang Zheng\'s horse stance had been drilled by Bonehead, and his core was definitely as steady as a mountain. Energy, breath, mind in unison. This was why when Wang Zheng was operating mechas in battle, his core was never a problem, no matter how difficult the maneuver and impact was.
A solid foundation determined the limit of growth.
Wang Zheng was very curious, and retrieved the purple crystal card to take a look. This play thing…
Instantly, the entire training hall erupted. Everybody was filled with admiring and covetous looks…
"Keke, brother, are you selling that? I\'ll pay 50 hours!" The fatty who had been grumbling a while back said. From his voice, he must be at least 40 years old. To want to learn something like that at 40, this guy…
"Brother, don\'t listen to him. A purple crystal card is A-rank. It\'s the first time I\'ve heard of an A-rank card from basic training, it must be worth at least a hundred!"
Suddenly, Wang Zheng was thronged by people. Crystal cards of understanding were classified by S, A, B, C, D in descending order. The higher the rank, the more the card user could glean in understanding. Simply put, this was a way for the experience to be shared with others, and was incomparably valuable.
Wang Zheng was no fool. Seeing the naked lust around him, he already knew it was a good thing. And good things should be kept well. He knew as much.
The crucial thing was, if this Saint world posed no real danger, he intended to let both Zisu and Tyrant Su try it. The lack of ability X was not important. It would strengthen the body and spirit, which would be very beneficial to both of them.
Neither had any battle foundations, but they did not need to become experts. A successful enlightenment alone would be a huge gain. But first, Wang Zheng needed to understand this world better.
Previously, he had thought the world was just a way to suck your money, but this was more like it.
Using the chaos of the crowd, Wang Zheng slipped away.
The so-called basic training was composed of strength, speed, agility, response, stability training, which was more or less the same as the magic cube\'s. Of course the difficulty was different. Here, you only needed a sense of it, and there was no need for the body condition to match it.
To him, this was going to be a piece of cake.
Wang Zheng quickly swept through all 16 basic training tasks, attaining A-rank crystal cards from all of them.
It was a good feeling, as Wang Zheng eyed the twinkling crystal cards in his inventory. It was not just dragons that liked shiny things. People too.
They were made very intricately. More importantly, the content inside them was important. These were Wang Zheng\'s experiences.
Finishing up, Wang Zheng discovered that his time had diminished again. Each test had a fee. Of course completing it with distinction yielded a time reward, but it was not enough to cover the fee. However, Wang Zheng was rather satisfied. This was perhaps the game\'s way of sinking money.
Furthermore, all 16 tests had not taken more than an hour in total. This was unheard of!
The sensational news immediately spread through the Disciple level. It made those who had been Necessary spending was something that Wang Zheng would not stinge on.
As he left Saint, these tasks had cost Wang Zheng about an hour.
He had left, but after 20 minutes, the Disciple Intelligence Web announced a startling piece of news.
Somebody had completed all 16 basic challenges with a stellar score!
A-rank crystal cards, were the highest obtainable understanding at this difficulty. It had been ages since something like that had last occurred.
Furthermore, all 16 tests had not taken more than an hour in total. This was unheard of!
The sensational news immediately spread through the Disciple level. It made those who had been struggling bitterly in the Disciple level rejoice.
These understanding cards could only be used once. These were completely different from the learning cards available in the market. A-rank purple understanding cards, even used by those who were hopeless, would allow one to pass the test.
Who had done this?
Clearly not someone from the higher levels. Those that had passed already could not yield a understanding card.
The Disciple level, in the Saint world, was undoubtedly the lowest level, but that did not mean that people here were poor.
In the Saint world, depending solely on money was impossible, but having no money was also impossible. Many had nicknamed this as Money-Eyed World.
Such an uproar went on without Wang Zheng\'s knowledge.
Meanwhile, in the Acolyte level, Lear and Luo Fei had finished another mission. It had been very difficult. Even an expert like Lear had been sorely tested.
What had shaken Lear completely, and made him decide to enter the Saint level, was that he had seen the Ares Arts!
The Chronos family\'s Skies Refinement technique was derived from the Ares Arts. It was not complete. When he had seen the Ares Arts, Lear believed that this Saint world must be connected to the ancient lost power.
He must acquire this. Since that white-robed man had come to the Chronos family, he must be hinting that they were choosing a successor.
This was not just about succession. More importantly, once he accessed it, he would have a huge source of power supporting him.
Lear wanted to break out of the Solar System, and earn his place within the Milky Way. The Chronos family was far from sufficient. It could be said that the family\'s strength only gave him a chance, but the rest was up to him.
At least, he was within the boundaries of consideration for that power.
Whether it was this Saint world, or the awakening of martial arts abilities, it heralded Earth\'s time was coming.
Who would be this era\'s King?
Lear felt that this was the will of the heavens!
Luo Fei, that fatty. Making him lose weight was like killing him. Lear had really starved him for a week, but the punk had managed to stay fat drinking just water. Lear was speechless. The fat was frustrating, but at least it did not affect his movements.
In Lear\'s heart, there was no saint, only power. Fatty would be his assistant in this undertaking. Their performance since entering the Disciple Level had been fairly good, smoothly passing through the levels. Of course in terms of spending, Lear had never been stingy. Lear\'s understanding of the world was also crystal clear. The only thing of benefit to him here was finding the Ares manual, and understanding the power of the other arts, and then finding a way to bring it out with him.
With the clues from the white-robed man, he had come to prove his own strength. The other party should know what to do as well, to achieve mutual benefit.
If the other party wanted to rise, he needed people!
