Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 557: The Chosen one

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng was engrossed in the training of Atomic Burst. He had only two missions left in the disciple level – to train his Blade Technique to the highest level and then to complete the training for Atomic Burst as best he could.

To be frank, Wang Zheng was very confident in himself. With his foundation being the Primordial Regression Technique, together with Bonehead’s special training, he had basically yet to meet a technique that stumped him... of course that was until he met this Atomic Burst training. Wang Zheng could sense that there was an opportunity within and it could very possibly raise his strength. Except that this training itself was the most boring one he had ever encountered, far beyond anything he had met so far. The final goal of the Atomic Burst was to blast anything to ashes with a finger. Although he could punch the huge boulder into pieces or to punch through the huge boulder, creating a force like this with a single finger was on an entirely different level.

After exiting the Rubik’s Cube, this was the first time Wang Zheng was met with such a difficult problem. Surprisingly, this difficult problem was actually on the disciple level.

The other person obsessed with the World of Saints was Zhang Shan. Such an amazing place had actually existed beyond his awareness! Zhang Shan was more direct. He did not care whether it was a black or white cat, as long as the cat caught the mouse, it was a good cat. Similarly, he did not care about the purpose of this World of Saints, as long as he could strengthen himself.

Wang Zheng’s suggestion to him was not to break through the disciple level too quickly. Even though the acolyte level had better trials and training modes, and the fighting arts were a level higher, but the basic training of the disciple level were more complete. This was just right for Zhang Shan who switched majors half way through. At the same time, this was a good opportunity for him to reborn.

Each trial was a breakthrough. Zhang Shan felt that he had become reborn, especially in spiritual terms.

This time, the trial that he was undertaking was the Jungle trial. Entering within, it was a tropical jungle. The enemies were all sorts of poisonous insects and fierce beasts. This was not difficult, except it tested a person’s ability to respond to sudden situations.

Zhang Shan passed very smoothly. His spatial movement ability X was like a shocking and unbelievable BUG in such a trial. To Zhang Shan, this actually was training his instantaneous reaction to activate his spatial movements. He learned a lot. Within 0.5 seconds, he could activate his spatial movement, except using this kind of instantaneous activation; he could move only 2 metres away at best.

As he made his way across the tropical jungle, Zhang Shan was almost unscathed. He passed perfectly; of course, it was not entirely because he cheated using his spatial ability. As a man, he would never avoid those necessary training, except in meeting dangers that he had no other ways of avoiding then he would use his ability. For instance, in the stage with the man-eating ants, if he did not use his spatial movement, it was basically unsolvable. Using fire arts to attack was useless because these man-eating ants were the lava mutated types and were totally not afraid of being burned by fire.

After completing the trial successfully, Zhang Shan did not leave. Instead, he chose to repeat the trial. He did not believe that there were no other ways to fight off these man-eating ants. He was a genius!

Again and again, until the last try, Zhang Shan finally found a way. Before the man-eating ants noticed him, he would lure a black bear into the man-eating ants’ territory and use the black bear as a distraction. After the black bear had attracted the attention of the man-eating ants, he would quickly pass this stage.

“I’m a genius!”

Zhang Shan screamed into the sky. Suddenly he remembered that Wang Zheng had passed this trial early on. He was very curious as to what Technique did Wang Zheng use to pass.

Wang Zheng received another message from Zhang Shan. Recently, he had been harassed quite often by Zhang Shan. He was very patient. “The Jungle Trial? Oh, Yes I remember. That type of man-eating ants hates the smell of green gas grass. There’s this stage in front where there are many green gas grass. It is a stage with absolutely no difficulty. We learned this in high school biology...”

Wang Zheng’s matter of fact attitude made the genius Zhang Shan hang up the call immediately!

Damn, why did he not think of that? Did he learn it during high school biology? Biology was not a compulsory subject, hence every time during biology lessons, he was always doing other stuff. Now that he thought of it, he really should not have done that.

Switching off his messages and opening his inventory space, Zhang Shan suddenly realized that he had yet another crystal shard on him.

When did he get that?

Zhang Shan was suddenly very interested and started calling all his friends to ask around. Zhang Shan was quite adept at making friends. In just a few days in the World of Saints, he already made a bunch of Fox Friends and Dog Friends.

(TL Note: This refers to unsavory friends)

It had to be said that 2 who were good friends with Zhang Shan were not actually scoundrels but had an ID called Fox Friend, and the other was wolf friend. But under normal circumstances, everyone would call him Dog Friend affectionately due to their affiliation. It was useless to protest. After fighting a few times, he resigned himself to fate. Who asked him not to treat this seriously when he first entered the World of Saints, choosing such a controversial name.

“You got it? Damn, did you try something new for your trial? As long as it was something new, you will be able to get the shards rewards which can be used to exchange for hidden rewards.” Fox Friend was an old disciple. He was rich and spent quite a lot in the World of Saints.

Zhang Shan rubbed his chin, something new? Other than him, there were no others who tried the technique of using a black bear to distract the man-eating ants? Zhang Shan laughed heartily and relayed the matter. Instantly Fox Friend and Dog Friend were all stunned. But, the average person really could not lure the Black bear, did he think that the Black bear was less fierce than the man-eating ants?

Zhang Shan was very proud. “I’m really a genius. What can I exchange with this?”

“A genius? My foot! Does your mouth itch if you do go without praising yourself every day?”Dog Friend was very unhappy. In his circle of friends, he was originally the strongest. Now with Zhang Shan’s arrival, who was all sorts of extraordinary had relegated him from that position.

“Under usual circumstances, you can exchange for quite a lot of time in the world. I heard that you can also change for special fighting arts. But those are 1 in 100 thousand. Besides, even if someone changed for a special fighting art, they would never tell anyone.”

“Forget it. You think that special fighting arts are cabbages in the market?” Dog Friend snorted. “Only true geniuses will have the opportunity to get special fighting arts. This World of Saints is very mysterious. People’s talents can be measured in here. Without reaching a certain level, you will never meet this kind of good things. For instance, the Saint Trial.”

“While that is true, but in the World of Saints, there are always some miracles. Sooner or later, I will also trigger the Saint Trial.”

Fox Friend did not agree. The most attractive part of the World of Saints was that it could change people. After the first time entering and being baptized into the World of Saints, their senses in reality had been enhanced. While the improvement was very small, but indeed, in terms of one’s spiritual aspect, their individual’s abilities were strengthened.

After listening for half the day, Zhang Shan let out a hearty laugh and pointed to his own nose. “I’m the genius. If only geniuses can exchange for special fighting arts, this person will no doubt be me.”

“Come on.”

“Go to one side and play with sand.”

Fox Friend and Dog Friend burst out into laughter; obviously they did not believe him.

Zhang Shan was not annoyed too. He chatted with them for a while and then embarked again on his journey through the trials.

One trial after the other, it was actually quite difficult. Because of the shards he received, Zhang Shan started to be serious. He totally ignored the hints on the information card for the trials and even went in the opposite direction. Under most circumstances, even though he did all sorts of exaggerated things but he did not get any crystal shards reward. It looked like this World of Saints was still quite strict. But Zhang Shan was very confident. In front of a genius, there was nothing impossible!

Zhang Shan possessed fierce perseverance; he did not give up, not even if he met his death. Wang Zheng had to admit that Zhang Shan’s talent in persevering was way bigger than any of his other talents.

When he collected 10 shards, he finally triggered the conditions and the exchange options appeared.

There was actually no fighting art! Every option was on exchanging time. 1 shard could exchange for 50 hours. Actually this was already quite good.

But Zhang Shan was literally bursting with anger. Where was the fighting art that was promised? “My small sun, after toiling for half a day can you give me something good? What about a fighting art?”

“Beep, detected that the target meets the special conditions for Dark Space Art, you can choose to exchange for the qualification to undergo the special trial. Please answer; do you want the fighting art trial to start?

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded. The choices in front of Zhang Shan all disappeared and a mysterious pitch black choice appeared. On the left was accept, and on the right was reject.

“I know I’m a genius, I accept!”

Zhang Shan stretched out his hand and hit the left choice with force.

Instantly the surroundings became pitch black.

Hong long long...

The grand temple shone bright and colorful. It rose from the darkness from out of nowhere. There was only 1 person, Zhang Shan was alone in the whole void. This was a world that belonged only to him.

At this moment, endless flying insects flew from afar. The cystic glands in their abdomens shone with blue-green radiation. This was a biological organ that could secrete corrosive poisonous acids.

Hong long long, a screen appeared in front of Zhang Shan.

Main goal: Protect the temple.

Supplementary goal: To survive.

Death punishment: Banned from entering the World of Saints for 30 days.

Zhang Shan’s jaw dropped open, what the f**k, this was impossible!

There was not even 1 mech!

And there was actually such a disastrous punishment! Banned from entering the World of Saints for 30 days!

Shit! Did it have to be so vicious?

Zhang Shan quickly rushed into the temple that he was supposed to protect. He wanted to see if there would just right be any super strong mech or super strong surreal weapons...

None, it was empty.

Wait, that armor...

Zhang Shan suddenly realized that there was a set of shining armor that was placed on the altar of the temple. There were power flowing on it. It was the power of space that Zhang Shan was very familiar with. And... it seemed as though he had seen it before.

Looking around, it did not seem like there was anything else...This was definitely prepared for a genius like himself. Without saying another word, he wore it boldly!

Hong...The sounds of the flapping wings of the flying insects came from outside.

Instantly, Zhang Shan felt a power that flowed through his fingers and palms. This power did not belong to him, no, he should say that it did not belong to this world, it was a power that would not be tolerated by the universe.

It was a type of despise.

A look that came from high above.

The gaze of God...

Shine!

Instantly he performed a space movement, moving up 1000 metres and using only 0.01 seconds. It was equivalent to moving 1000 metres without spending time.

Countless insects flew towards him and he was actually in the universe... Endless insects, many of which he had not even heard of.

Zhang Shan was stunned. He only tried wearing the armor for a while. If it was not allowed, just let him know, did they have to do this?

There was no doubt, he ran!

There was absolutely no way to fight. He would be an idiot not to run. What was different was that this armor that he was wearing seemed to give him a strange power. He could use instantaneous movement continuously and he could even use it to cross space, like a god!

This was definitely not something a human could possess.

Even though he was facing countless of insects, Zhang Shan was actually even more relaxed. F**k that shit trial, this was just a virtual game. It was nothing more. With the IQ of Mr. Zhang Shan, this game was like a drizzle!

Space warfare was Zhang Shan’s specialty, especially when this armor could provide such high maneuvering performance. Slowly, killing and evading became less important. Again and again he did the space movement. Even...performing space separation. Zhang Shan sank into a state of understanding. He knew very clearly that this was a power that could not possibly exist but it seemed so real. Time seemed to have lost importance. There was no end to killing the insects and Zhang Shan started to get injured, but he did not care for that.....

Long long long...

The temple disappeared, but the armor did not. It simply lost its swirling glow and became a set of useless steel.

The trial closed.

What was happening recently, the Saint trial was actually triggered and other than someone successfully passing it, there was actually a closure of another trial!

This meant that this trial would never be opened again. It was as though it was waiting specifically for that one person.

Zhang Shan had not gotten his fill of excitement yet. “This is no fun. I just got interested and it ended. What is this...”

Zhang Shan opened his inventory and a beautiful card floated mid-air.

— Dark Space Art!

What was this thing? Was there not only the 8 Point Blade Technique here?

This time, Zhang Shan did not harass Wang Zheng. He knew that Wang Zheng was focused on his training. Anyway, he also knew a group of fox friends dog friends. Zhang Shan and Wang Zheng were different. Wang Zheng only had 2 or 3 good friends while Zhang Shan, other than having a handful of closer friends, had a whole group of others. He really treated the World of Saints as an opportunity to form a community of friends.

He put the Dark Space Art on the sharing platforms for friends. This was a sharing and goods exchange platform. After a while, there was still no response.

Zhang Shan was speechless. He knew it; there would not be anything good coming from something so easily accomplished.

“Hey bro, I will buy it for 1 million!”

“Bro, are you selling this, how about a price. If you want to exchange fighting arts, I’m also okay with that. Just request!”

Instantly, Zhang Shan’s message storage was flooded with a bunch of requests to purchase.

Did people treat Brother Shan as an idiot? This reward actually turned out to be such a good thing, then he would keep it for himself to use.

You did not need to say, Zhang Shan indeed caused an uproar. He not only caused the trial to close but also got the special fighting art of the disciple level.

While to be honest, the disciple level was the lowest level. It was the most basic and the most boring. However, the seasoned saint players all understood that this world had its own strange rules. If anything special happened in the lowest level, it was definitely more important than that of the Saints level.

In other words, Zhang Shan was a chosen one of the World of Saints.
