Ability X Control class . The lecturer had spoke of many issues with fine control, especially against different types which required different methods .
Not all types were suitable for fine control . Some types only shone in explosive power, if they were wielded well . A variety of methods and choices . But what was written in the books were one-dimensional . One had to find one's best way after careful thought and repeated practice .
But no matter what kind of practice, practice was practice . Till now, Wang Zheng's results were average . In fact, it was Zhang Shan that saw much improvement . And Wang Zheng was a little distracted today .
After the day's classes had ended, Oli followed behind Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan .
"Eh? Oli, aren't you going home?"
"I'm going to train with Wang Zheng . How am I going to train if I go home?" Oli asked, puzzled .
Zhang Shan was surprised, and Wang Zheng as well . This, he had agreed without much thought . He thought they would just face off once . But it seemed like Oli's plan was to train with Wang Zheng much like Zhang Shan did .
Zhang Shan dry coughed a few times . "Oli, ahem ahem . Aren't you afraid that Olivios will get jealous if he hears about this?"
Oli thought about this for a while . "Why?"
Utterly confused, Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan looked at each other with nothing more to say . Perhaps the local customs were different there .
There were many people at the training grounds . Everyone's enthusiasm had surged unprecedentedly, and the grounds were shared by many places . The Huang grade participation standards had already been announced . One needed to pass the Academy's mecha test . Just Level 7 and above would suffice, where Level 1 was the highest . However, recently it was simply useless to go and participate . It was full of people queueing to take the test .
"Damn, must there be so many people? Granny's legs, what are we gonna do?" Zhang Shan could not stand training in a crowded situation, let alone fighting beside them .
Wang Zheng thought about this for a while . "Follow me . "
Zhang Shan and Oli followed Wang Zheng, heading inwards to the training grounds . Wang Zheng had a try-and-see attitude as well . Perhaps it could be of use .
Indeed it was of use . With his Skylink status, he accessed smoothly . The training ground inside was of a higher rank, only this was clearly not for Huang rank students to use .
A few other Xuan rank students were training as well, although the conditions here were definitely better than down below . There were more individual rooms as well, and Wang Zheng brought the other two and chose a room .
"D*mn . Wang Zheng . How is your status level so high?" Zhang Shan asked curiously .
"You'll only feel inferior if you compare yourself to me . " Wang Zheng was lazy to entertain Zhang Shan any further . Knowing him, it was possible he wouldn't let him live it down . Though he had to admit that entering Genesis Coffee was not an easy nut to crack .
Thinking of that, Wang Zheng suddenly thought of Xiao Fei . Recently he had been frantically scraping cash together, only realizing the shortfall when the need arose .
It was not that there was no other way to raise capital . But with KING's current position, one would have to offer significant collateral in order to attract further investment . He was the major stakeholder, and could not depend on anyone else to solve the problem . The fact was that with the current situation, he could not raise much money at short notice . It was meaningless and causing him a headache . Sometimes Wang Zheng wondered how much he could money he could fetch if he could only extract the Rubik's cube and sell it .
Zhang Shan and Oli had already begun training . The place was spacious and well equipped, although Zhang Shan still disapproved of preferential treatment . These Xuan rank students were living too good a life .
Oli went to the changing room beside to change into her training uniform . She took off her spectacles, and immediately changed into a different beast .
Zhang Shan was speechless as well . This girl seemed to have switched personalities . He could not figure her out .
Oli started to warm up, executing a series of somersaults accompanied by little grunts . But Zhang Shan did not find this comical . Each punch and move was solid . If hit, one would be seriously injured, if not dead . Especially since her flurried combination was a high-frequency attack . Terrifying .
Such an ability was savage, and Zhang Shan was excited, watching . He gave a loud cry . "Student Oli, let this brother first test your improvement . "
As he said so Zhang Shan rushed in . He had also been training his Mad Grass technique . Although it sounded vague, but Zhang Shan felt that the name was cool, and he had decided to ensure it became famous .
The little loli's eyes flashed, and suddenly towards the Zhang Shan bearing down on her, she flashed out a punch without warning!
Zhang Shan did not dare to receive it head on . He was no fool . With a quick change of footwork, he gave way . But Oli would not let him off so easily . She pressed forward, to Zhang Shan's dismay . From the side, he had not thought much of it, but when he was up close facing her he knew that it would not be a good feeling .
With no other option, Zhang Shan used his Warp, escaping out of Oli's attack radius . Oli was stunned . "Warp!"
"Hee hee . I told you . This brother is strong!"
Oli furrowed her brow, and with an explosion from the ground, appeared right beside Zhang Shan, her fist lashing out . Zhang Shan's face changed . Damn, this girl was going at it for real .
If this punch hit him, it was hospital time for sure . In that instant, the Mad Grass technique kicked in . With a strange contortion of his body, he evaded it brilliantly .
Wang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief as well . Given the way things were unfolding, Zhang Shan was unlikely to lose quickly .
Both had completely different styles . Zhang Shan had followed a flashy erratic path when it came to his combat techniques while Oli went by a stolid, dependable path . It was unclear who would subdue the other . It depended on how good they were . Clearly, Oli was much stronger than Zhang Shan, who had only realized his power not long ago .
BOOM…
After evading for the longest time, Zhang Shan had still been sent flying, the punch sending him back 7 or 8 meters .
"Student Zhang Shan, don't give yourself grand names . " Oli said seriously .
Zhang Shan clutched his stomach and clenched his teeth . "D*mn, preferential treatment much? Wang Zheng can shoot his mouth off, but I can't even hype myself a little?"
"He can beat me . Saying whatever they wish is the victor's privilege . " Oli said . Arbiter's were in the end a serious people . Almost as if they had been born without a gene for humour .
Zhang Shan felt miserable . He could not beat Oli, but he was not discouraged . Back then, there were countless people stronger than him as well, but now he had left them in the dust .
Oli, having taken off her spectacles, was very serious . Wang Zheng beckoned, and she approached seriously, lifting her chin towards Wang Zheng .
Wang Zheng laughed . "Don't be so grim . Girls should smile a little . "
Oli was surprised . "Why?"
Now it was Wang Zheng's turn to be surprised . "Does this need a reason?"
"On Arbiter, we're conscripted regardless of gender . In war, we do not distinguish between men or women, old or young . There are only fighters . Strength is everything . " Oli said .
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes . He had thought his own childhood had been rather harsh, but now it seemed like others had it worse as well . Being born on Arbiter seemed to be no fun at all .
"What I meant was that one has to be mentally strong, but to keep the mood relaxed . This is the way to win . Being permanently tense is not good for mental or physical health . Especially for girls . " Wang Zheng said .
Oli nodded doubtfully .
"The Heavenly Overlord School of fighting seems more suited for guys . Girls seem less able to bring out the potential of such a fighting style given their constitution . " Wang Zheng said .
Oli nodded . "True . But it's all I know . "
Wang Zheng nodded . She was direct, if nothing . But for a girl to fight so directly did not bring forth her talents . If the opponent was weaker, she would get by . But against an equally matched opponent, the drawbacks of such a style would be clear .
"There's no need for major changes . It would be impossible anyway . " Wang Zheng said . Oli had trained for many years, and a complete overhaul would be destroying all that hard work . "We need to make some revisions to the fighting approach . Actually it's not bad . Heavenly Overlord style has given you a very good foundation . Only, you cannot use direct hits when fighting . That only works for guys who specialize in strength, and you're not . "
"But my ability X can supplement this flaw . " Oli clenched her fist . "I don't believe I'm weaker than guys . "
Oli's ability X could add speed to her attacks, instantly unleashing many attacks . It looked like she had been through arduous training . Such an ability X took a heavy toll on the body . Although she looked petite, but he had no idea what kind of punishing training she had been through .
Arbiter was really a bunch of crazy people .
"Alright, then let's try a direct punch . Use your full strength . " Wang Zheng smiled .
Oli shook her head . "Without a mech's protection, you'll be hurt . "
Zhang Shan was extremely indignant . "What? But you hit me with so much strength! If you can beat this guy up though, I'll call you Elder Sister from now on . "
"No thanks!" Oli turned down Zhang Shan decisively, shattering his fragile heart .
"Don't worry . I know what I'm doing . Besides, if you don't do this, then we have no way forward . Do you want to get stronger or not?" Wang Zheng smiled reassuringly .
Oli bit her lip . "Then, if you're hurt, you can't blame me . "
