“That would be the best. I was still fretting over how I be applying leave with 36D.” laughed Wang Zheng

“36D? The nickname of your section leader is truly special.”

Wang Zheng and Barry looked at each other and burst into laughter. They quickly tried to change the subject.

Since she had confirmed Wang Zheng’s identity, the Red Fox was willing to make accommodations for Wang Zheng. As for Barry, it was a fact that he had accumulated quite a number of leave days. Moreover, there weren’t many things recently. Therefore, the Red Fox approved the leave application decisively. She also didn’t want to interfere with Wang Zheng’s actions too much.

Clearly, no matter what were the reasons behind Wang Zheng being here, she did not feel that Wang Zheng would be staying around for a long time. Moreover, the Red Fox was truly busy with other matters and were not able to care too much about it. She was at a complete disadvantage in the competition for Squadron Leader.

If she wished to become the Squadron Leader, she would need either the upper management’s acknowledgement or the support from the local powers such as the Lan Family.

Clearly, the Red Fox did not have either. She had originally wanted to use Wang Zheng as capital in the competition. However, she realised that she had been too naïve. Wang Zheng belonged to the whole Squadron and would not affect who would become the Squadron Leader.

As such, the Red Fox had nothing much to expect from Wang Zheng and allowed him to do as he wished.

The core team of Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu and Barry was formed. The basic framework had already been established. Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu were very satisfied with the situation with the Wind God. Using the Wind God mech as the template, they continued their development of the new mech.

The three of them had the same insights. The thinking of having heavy armour mecha as the mainstream mecha was erroneous. The landscape on Tita Star wasn’t completely suitable for Heavy armour mech. To use a larger and clumsier mech to go against the giants was the wrong direction. The direction for design should be towards the elemental attributes.

When Barry was still in military school, he was known for his theory on elemental mech. If it could be realised, it would no doubt be a further step in the application of Ability X in mecha.

Ye Zisu and Barry were the professionals while Wang Zheng would be the best testing pilot. Through Wang Zheng’s examination of the mech, they would be able to find the best direction to improve the mech.

These days was truly the most blessed for Barry. He had originally thought that he would just live the rest of his life in a blur. However, things had changed drastically and he was able to build a cross-generational mech with a genius designer and the super pro from IG.

This was completely unpractical and seemed like a dream. However, it was days like these that had ignited Barry’s passion.

A dreamer lived for the impractical things.

However, they faced multiple problems in their research soon. On theory, it was possible. However, Wang Zheng wasn’t adept in the “Wind” attribute. At the same time, the mech was lacking in basic materials. They were lacking a key material that could exhibit the “Wind” attribute element. Clearly, G-materials weren’t enough.

However, even if the three of them encountered a wall, they would not turn back. If it could be accomplished easily, it would not be left to them to solve the problem.

Far away on Mars, Lie Xin and Lie Guang had both achieved huge developments. Lie Xin was on the Third Fleet of the Solar System Federation while Lie Guang entered the reserves team for the Mars First Special Forces for training. It was especially so for Lie Guang who swept away the decadent cynical image of the past. On Mars, the Martians called it the wastrel turning over a new leaf.

Lie Guang would definitely become Lie Xin’s biggest support and help. The Lie Family finally had a successor. After consolidating the Lie Family’s speaking rights in the Solar System Federation, Such a model of having family members to rule the planet had its pros and cons. The crucial point would be that every hinged on the successor.

Lie Guang had passed his rebellious age. IG had caused the once flirtatious boy to undergo a complete change. The days of the past were now as illusionary as the clouds and smoke. The world outside was large and Lie Guang had truly found his goals and position, or something that was more challenging. In the latest IG, he was just a passer-by. However, he would definitely be the lead actor in the next IG!

On the last day of the month, it was the holiday for the reserve team of the Special Forces. Lie Guang did not intend to go back home but wanted to increase his own training.

In the morning, Lie Guang had just completed his warm up with a 10km run. Just when he was about to start his mech training, he saw Lie Xin.

“Sister? Why are you here?”

Lie Guang was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, Lie Xin should be very busy currently. The Third Fleet of the Solar System Federation wasn’t like Mars. Being the successor to the Lie Family had a certain level of advantage. However, to be truly recognised in the Third Fleet, it wouldn’t be easy. It was especially so after Lear’s outstanding performance. This person’s ability to scheme and sensationalise his achievements was truly high.

As for Wang Zheng, he had been selectively forgotten. The Chronos Family was most known for confusing others and was adept in the use of media and public opinion to exert pressure.

Obviously, the Lie Family weren’t just the average Joe. Their benefits would definitely be secured. The limelight on Lie Xin wasn’t any less. This was especially so because she was also beautiful.

“What? Couldn’t I come and visit my cute brother?”

Lie Guang smiled. “That would be fine too but based on what I know, you shouldn’t be so free at this moment? What was the matter? Just said it.”

“The Sage had summoned the both of us.”

Seeing that it was the order from the Sage, the smile on Lie Guang’s face disappeared. “Wait for me to take a shower and change my clothes first.”

After several hours, the two people arrived at the Sage Sect with the mentality of a pilgrim. The door was already wide open.

When they took their first step into the door, Lie Xin and Lie Guang took a look at each other. Their gazes were a little different. Both of them could clearly feel the difference from the past. At this moment, the seemingly normal looking Holy Mountain was giving out some form of faint attractive force. Looking at the Sage Sect on the peak of the mountain from the door, it felt just like they were immersed in a solemn holy light.

Even with their extremely firm mind, they could clearly feel that their current states of mind were affected by a real source of power and wasn’t because of their faith to the Sage Sect.

With lots of questions in their mind, they took one step after another towards the top of the mountain. A servant of the Sage Sect was at the door of the temple. When the servant saw the two of them, he first greeted Lie Xin with a special form of Buddhist greeting and then bowed at Lie Guang with both his hands held in front of him.

Lie Xin was a guest while Lie Guang was an internal disciple of the Sage Sect Leader, Odin, and a senior. This would explain in the difference in the form of greeting.

Lie Xin and Lie Guang returned the greeting accordingly respectively. They could feel that it was different today. It would be Xiao Bai who welcomed them with his mischievous face most of the time but he was maintaining a solemn face today. Every action was based on the rules.

“Miss Lie Xin, senior, this way please.”

Xiao Bai passed the front section of the temple with the other two people. However, he did not head towards the central portion of the temple where Sage Sect Leader Odin was at most of the time. Instead, they were led to the back of the temple.

Lie Guang’s eyes flickered and asked,” Junior Xiao Bai, since when had the rear temple been unsealed?”

The rear temple was a restricted area in the Sage Sect and only the Sage could entered. It was said that every generation’s sage was buried within the rear temple after they passed away.

However, he was brought into the rear temple with Lie Xin. If it was just him, it would still be alright since he was an inner disciple of the Sage and was a member of the Sage Sect. Although Lie Xin was the successor of the Lie Family, she was only one of the many important followers within the Sage Sect but not part of the Sage Sect.

“It happened just yesterday. Master and the three Elders opened the rear temple together.”

Xiao Bai did not say anything more but just signalled to Lie Xin and Lie Guang to pick up their pace.

When they entered the rear temple, the influence they felt at the bottom of the mountain felt even stronger instantly. Their states of mind were extremely tranquil. It was as though all the stress they felt had disappeared from their body.

There was garden enclosed within toughened glass after passing through the rear temple. This was the style of Mars’ early colonial period. At that time, the environment on Mars was still very bad. There were Martian sand storm from time to time and the people had no choice but to use toughened glass to protect the valuable green plants.

Sage servant, Gan Cheng, did not enter the garden but stop at the door step.”Master is in the garden.”

Lie Xin and Lie Guang entered the garden. They moved ahead by following a small path and soon they saw a small pavilion built with stones. The current Sage Odin was sitting cross-legged within the pavilion and seemed to be in an otherworldly and illusionary state.

“Come in.”

Odin waved his hands lightly.

“Yes!”

In the instance they entered the pavilion, the two of them could clearly feel that the power that been influencing their states of mind previously had disappeared quickly. Sage Odin who seemed illusionary from outside of the pavilion had become normal as usual.

Odin smiled faintly and nodded his head lightly towards Lie Xin. “Can you feel it?”

Lie Xin lowered her head and bowed down seriously. “Yes, master.”

“There weren’t many people who could feel it. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong were talented but did not have this fate. Lie Xin, would you be willing to become my direct disciple?”

Lie Xin’s gaze was burning fiercely instantly. She had always wanted to become a disciple under the Sage Sect. Although the Sage Sect took in female disciples, the Sage himself had not accepted any female disciple. The most one could get would be to register one’s name under the Sage. Becoming a direct disciple was not possible.

“It would be the disciple’s pleasure. I earnestly request the Sage to accept me as your disciple and I would willingly accept your teachings.”

“Great, that’s great.” smiled Odin.

Odin smiled gently and said to Lie Xin again,” I have already applied 3 months of leave for you. In these 3 months, you shall stay here together with Lie Guang.”

The Lie family was different from the others. They did not need to consolidate their influence on Mars on purpose. However, it would also be difficult to expand their scope of influence. It was like a double-edged sword.

When he heard this, Lie Guang’s eyes flickered and asked,” Master, is there something big going on?”

“It isn’t any serious matters. It is just preparation for rainy days… The secret key of destiny had opened the door to the new era. I could only vaguely sense a little of the future. There was no need for you all to dive deeper. If you knew too much, it would only be bad for you and nothing good would come out of it. Just going with the flow would be enough.” The Sage smiled faintly.

The secret key of destiny… This was the second time Lie Guang had heard of it from the master. His eyeballs rolled and Lie Guang asked in a different manner,” Master, I could feel that effects of the Lie Flame Technique getting stronger recently. It was at most supportive in the past. However, the feeling now was that if it was used the right way, the Lie Flame Technique would be more terrifying than any other weapons.

Lie Xin’s gaze flickered and nodded her head gently, confirming Lie Guang’s explanation. She had the same feeling too. However, the feelings were deeper than Lie Guang. Her Lie Flame Technique could display terrifying power like Ability X. If she could use it together with Ability X, the power would be even more terrifying. She even had the feeling that Ability X was a power to supplement the Lie Flame Technique.

Odin smiled faintly. From his smile, one could see that there were signs of admiration. “Cultivation Techniques were originally the peak of the human civilisation. A long time ago, there were many Cultivation Techniques including the Lie Flame Technique. They had the power to dictate the universe. However, that era had ended. The Sage Sect’s records on the ending of the era included, ‘Just like Ragnarok, they had disappeared just like the sun set…'”

Lie Xin blinked her eyes. “Could it be that those things in the legends were all real?”

The records of the Sage Sect were different from the legends passed down by words in other places. It would never be wrong and would never exaggerate?It would only record things that had happened.
