Chapter 571: Opportunity for a Comeback

From their outward looks, they didn’t seem to be IG members. They should have been selected through other channels.

Even if he wanted to act cool, he need to restrain himself a little. Zhang Shan couldn’t just tell others how amazing he was. Other than those members who had participated in IG and some countries that weren’t affected by Aslan, most of the people didn’t know about the insider information of IG. After all, this involved the “scandal” of the Royal Family. Moreover others wouldn’t change their views on the Solar System Federation over the past 10 years completely just because of a one-time performance. To sum it up, the situation was different from what Zhang Shan had expected. He had thought that by introducing Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng’s fame would speak for itself.

Just when Zhang Shan was about to change the topic and talk about him and Wang Zheng being key personnel, moreover also possessing looks and strength, the other party had already changed the topic.

“I heard that the entrance examination wouldn’t be very difficult. As long as one’s Ability X had passed C rank, it wouldn’t pose much of a problem for the individual and they can be enrolled into the school.” said Lia.

“Seniors had told us that this would be the usual circumstances. The pressure in the Azure Dragon region is a little smaller. That’s pretty good for us.” said Eisen.

“Cough cough. Are there any differences between the 4 main regions? asked Zhang Shan curiously. At the same time, he realised an issue. The three of them seemed to be lacking in confidence despite them being C rank ability users too.

“Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise would each be allocated students after taking into account administrative and geographical factors. Nonetheless, to sum it up, Vermillion Bird and White Tiger are a little stronger. In the branch of the Vermillion Bird, there usually lies people from Aslan, Manalasuo and various powerful countries. As for the White Tiger branch, the ones making up the numbers would be people from Arbiter, Maacah Republic, Darkness Empire and others. Behind them are the branches of the Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon. Within the Azure Dragon, Gemini, Lya Sphinx and Hail Cloud Alliance possess the stronger factions.”

Lia explained. Clearly, the Earthworm Federation had done their homework better.

“Eh, has that brother of yours dropped into the toilet bowl? Why isn’t he out yet?” Eisen asked curiously.

Zhang Shan patted his head. Oh ya, did that guy really drop into the toilet bowl? It’s been ages since he came back.

“Excuse me, I will go and take a look.”

“Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng. Did you fall into the toilet bowl? If you aren’t coming out, I will be calling for maintenance to go fish you out!” growled Zhang Shan.

At this moment, Wang Zheng was sitting on the toilet bowl. In fact, he had finished his business long ago. It was just that he suddenly thought of a question.

He hadn’t been able to grasp the gist of the Atomic Burst Trial. There was a difference between shattering something, compared to disintegrating it completely. Although practice makes perfect, some techniques couldn’t be mastered with diligent practice. When he grasped the Leaning Landslide in the past, it was mainly through repeated experiences. However, this clearly wasn’t the case for the Atomic Burst Trial. His finger strength was rather good but he was training in the wrong direction. This type of technique wasn’t simply about physical strength. This was because no matter how strong the power was, it wouldn’t reach the erupting effect as described in the description.

The direction was wrong. Just when he was in deep thought, he was awoken by Zhang Shan’s growl.

“Were you trying to summon my soul? I was just about to grasp a super magical technique when you disrupted my thoughts!”

“Save it. You were probably grasping the ultimate toilet technique! We have friends outside. Come out quickly!”

Wang Zheng smiled. He was driving himself into a dead end. Learning this type of technique wouldn’t be possible simply by thinking hard about it. There were no benefits in thinking too much. What he really needed was some luck and inspiration.

“This is Wang Zheng and he would be taking the examination with me. These 3 are from the Earthworm Federation.” introduced Zhang Shan.

“Wang Zheng is rather good looking.” Laughed Lia. action

Zhang Shan wasn’t happy once he heard it. “My dear Student Lia, why didn’t you praise me when you saw me previously? Don’t you find me better looking and mightier?”

Eisen and Andre looked at each other and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Zhang Shan, you have quite the personality. However, please do not speak casually when you arrive in the school. I had heard from my seniors that there were quite a number of rules in that place and we might offend people if we were careless.”

Why would Zhang Shan care about this? At least he was strong. The three of them were too timid and cautious about it.

“That’s weird; the name Wang Zheng seems so familiar. I just can’t recall it at this moment.” said Andre as he pinched his nose.

Zhang Shan got excited once he heard it. Just when he was preparing to give a good introduction of Wang Zheng amazing accolades, he was stopped by Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng said,” Wang is a common surname. It would be normal to sound familiar.”

Knowing new friends wasn’t to acting cool in front of them. Moreover, there was no meaning in boasting this way. Things in the past had passed after all. Clearly, Elite Academy X was a new environment. Although there were IG members who had come but not everyone was from IG. At least he had never seen the 3 people in front of them before. However, based on the rank of their Ability X, they might even be stronger than members of the Earthworm Federation IG team. Obviously, they should be of older age.

Elite Academy X was neither Elite Mecha Academy X nor a Military Academy. It was for the purpose of providing all-rounded services to humankind. Obviously, military technology would be the focus. The development of human kind had always been like this. After military technology had been advanced to a certain level, it would be transferred into civilian-use technologies gradually.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were still below 20 while these 3 people were just slightly above 20. It was just that the 3 of them didn’t seem as foreign to this place as Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. The Earthworm Federation had been sending talents to the Elite Academy almost annually. This was where the Solar System Federation still had some distance to cover before being the same as Earthworm Federation. Therefore, the 3 of them were more composed and kept a low profile. If one tried to show off without having the capabilities, he/she was definitely courting death.

However when they talked about the conveniences in the school, everyone was full of anticipation. At the forefront of the desires would definitely be the personal flying device. Although it looked like a pot, it could be controlled to perform low altitude flying. It would definitely be the coolest.

When they talked about it, everyone was seething with enthusiasm. All they had to do was to pass the examination and everyone would be able to receive 1.

This was also why their Ability X must be at least of the C rank. This was because it was the minimum criteria to be able to manipulate one’s spiritual strength. Although the runic flying device had an energy engine, its consumption of spiritual strength wasn’t low.

Looking back at his journey thus far, Wang Zheng felt that Xie Yuxin was indeed not simple. When he was back at middle school, this brat’s talents were already way ahead of people of the same age. Wang Zheng wondered where he was at after 2 years of training.

It was worth anticipating the day he saw it.

After resting for a day, the entrance examination had officially started.

Xie Yuxin had gotten to know the situation in advance and had made a detailed explanation to them.

There were 3 stages to the examination. The first stage would be examining genetic score.

Wang Zheng was feeling a little anxious and fearful in his heart... the psychology trauma from his last genetic score still hadn’t dissipated. Accurately speaking, that was a nightmare.

At the examination location, 2 instructors were responsible for the examination. One of them was tall while the other was short. They also had interesting names. The shorter instructor surname was Gao (Tall) while the taller instructor surname was Ai (Short). After introduction, the group of people couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

“Silence, what’s so funny?” The shorter instructor Gao stared at them.

The taller Instructor Ai was full of smiles instead. “Hehe. Alright, the first stage of the examination was very simple. We will be examining your generic score.”

There were a total of 21 people participating in the examination. The najority of them was nonchalant when they heard the examination was regarding the examination of genetic score. Those with Ability X of C rank above would had absolute confidence in their genetic score.

Instructor Gao was being a little cold. “Don’t be happy too soon. The genetic examinations that you all had gone through previously were all superficial ones. I believe that everyone would have known about it. Inner Roland represents the place which houses the most advanced human technology. We are using a brand new examination in this place. If one was to make a representation, the previous superficial genetic examination was like algebra in middle school while the indepth examination would be like the theory of thermodynamics.”

“What is thermodynamics? Is it even difficult?” There were still people laughing. For a normal undergraduate, thermodynamics might be a headache for them. However for people with genetic scores of over 90, the only difficulty was if they were really willing to learn.

“Hehe. You all might not have known about this. Superficial genetic examinations might result in strange and unknown discrepancies in special individuals. Their results would be unusual. However, this situation would not appear for this more indepth genetic examination.” supplemented Instructor Ai who was still full of smiles.

When Wang Zheng heard it, his helpless eyes immediately lit up. An indepth examination? There wouldn’t be individual discrepancies?

Could it be that the time for him to be exonerated was finally here? As the Captain of the Solar System Federation and the Crownless King, his genetic score was merely 28. If anyone was to say that it was not an anomaly or discrepancy, Olivios would clearly kill him if he heard of it. Who would really think a tiger would be happy to share the same status with a little cat?

The sequence for the examination was based on the sequence of arrival to Elite Academy X.

Earthworm Federation reported the earliest. Lia smiled and walked up. She was the first to take the examination.

“Instructors, are they any tricks for the this indepth examination?” asked Lia as she blinked her eyes.

Those below the stage wanted to know too. “Yeah Instructors. Do we have to exert some force or gather some strength?”

Instructor Ai laughed and replied,” This indepth examination is a direct examination of one’s genetic potential. It has nothing to do with Ability X. If you want to know how much strength to exert, it would be enough if you could stand on the platform and relax.”

Lia relaxed herself and walked into the genetic examination machine.

This machine looked like a security scanner. It was just that it had equipped more complicated facilities. When Lia walked through it, more than 10 rays of light scanned continuously onto Lia. At the same time, a mechanical arm holding on to a syringe extended over and gently pricked her middle finger as it drew some blood samples.

The whole examination process was much more complicated than the genetic examinations that had gone through.

Wang Zheng kept nodding his head as he watched. It was good that it was complicated. It would be a more complete assessment.

“Beep beep beep...

The machine indicated some reminder sound. The results were out soon.

Lia, Earthworm Federation. Indepth Level Genetic score: 77.

Andre and Eisen were stunned. How could it only be 77?

When Lia saw the results, she also couldn’t believe it. “What...”

Her genetic score was 93 in the past!

Instructor Gao looked coldly and said,” Did you feel that it wasn’t right? There are a total of 6 indicators for the superficial genetic examination. The number of indicators for the indepth level examination is 12. Next, Eisen from the Earthworm Federation.”

At this moment, Instructor Ai added on and said,” No one is perfect. No one could score highly on all 12 aspects. Therefore those with a score of 60 and above during the indepth examination would be considered to have endless possibilities. 77 is already above average.”

Lia looked at Instructor Ai gratefully and nodded her head. It was hard to build up one’s confidence but it could be destroyed easily. It was especially so for a girl.

Eisen clearly did not believe what the two instructors had said. When he entered the examination device, he flexed his while body and all the muscles in his body were clearly visible. Roarrr!

The mechanical arm that was drawing blood samples smartly chosen the largest syringe. That was a special syringe designed to extract samples from Zerg...

Eisen was looking pale when he walked out. Instructor Ai was smiling hardly. “There’s a saying in the Elite Academy that you all have to remember. Those who don’t listen to the instructors would stand to lose out.

Soon, Eisen’s results were out. Genetic score: 79.

Lia instantly felt relieved. Eisen’s genetic score at Earthworm Federation was 95. If he only scored 79, it would prove that nothing was wrong with her.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were rubbing their fist and wiping their palms. It was especially so for Zhang Shan. He had always had a strong desire to perform and wouldn’t hold himself back just because this place was the Elite Academy X in Inner Roland.

When his space Ability X had reached C rank, Zhang Shan’s confidence had rose to a record high.
