Chapter 1073: An Opponent’s Judgement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ouyang Ruoliu still had to entertain Di Maria and the rest, who were outside. At this level, even if they were not of the same circle, they were also very familiar with each other. It was clear that no one wanted to offend Ouyang Ruoliu. It was best to stay at a far and respectful distance from those in the intelligence business. Although nothing bad might happen outright, being on her radar was no good news.

Di Maria and Aurora had clashed with Wang Zheng before, and had much to say.

“Is this Wang Zheng that good?” Si Jiali was curious.

“I don’t believe it. You must be teasing me. Look at him, he doesn’t look like an expert at all.” Paars was not at all sold.

Di Maria looked at Paars. “He doesn’t even need his hands to kill you. An Earth-rank warrior. Just one mental explosion and you’re toast.”

Aurora nodded. “I have never seen someone mature faster than Wang Zheng. He was still green at the last IG. When I see him now, there’s a depth I have no measure of. Di Maria, you probably know him best.”

Di Maria’s aloof expression dissolved into a grimace. In front of others, he would hold his pride close. In front of his own friends, there was no need to act. Aslan people were not that shallow. “You know my talent. But I have never met an opponent that makes me despair as much.”

Immediately, everyone was silent. Ouyang Ruoliu was just listening on silently. She knew that Wang Zheng’s Saruman Snake had won the Greatest King Competition, but what it really signified, she had no idea. Even a broadcast was not a live experience, and she could not understand. But hearing it from Di Maria’s mouth was a different thing altogether. Di Maria was undoubtedly one of the best in the younger generation. His time ability was the highest class of Ability X. This spoke of his individual quality.

“He has mastered Ice, Fire, and Wood, three types of ability.”

“Don’t abilities become weaker the more one acquires them?” Ouyang Ruoliu asked.

Di Maria gave a bitter laugh. “Under normal circumstances, yes, but the problem is that his mastery of all three are at Earth-rank. At the same time, he specializes in hybrid techniques. A combination of Ice, Fire, and Wood. Under some circumstances, he can approach Heaven-rank territory.”

At this moment, even an idiot like Paars knew how scary this person was. And he had been blustering in front of that guy. He had been running rounds within the arms of death without knowing it

“He’s just 21? How...” Ouyang Ruoliu was suddenly full of curiosity. Because according to what she knew, he was a member of Genesis Coffee Club. Even Dong Er’s father had praised him for both brains and brawn. It seemed like he had not had enough time since leaving his mother’s womb to accomplish all that.

“If only that were all. The more genius one has, the more arrogant one gets. The more talented one is, the more obvious the weaknesses. But there’s none of that with him.”

“I got the same feeling. It was clear at IG. His ability to fight and react are supernatural. And in the crucial moments, his potential is incomparably limitless. In the last IG, he finished an S-rank mission alone and single-handedly carried the Solar System into the main competition. One person, one mech fighter killing tens of thousands of worms,” Aurora said.

“Previously, there was an incident at Elite Academy X. He fell into another space in the abyss. No one had ever made it back alive, but he did, and he brought back important information. That was a place that entire armies had vanished into without a trace before.” Di Maria winced. “If not for him, I would not be in such bad shape at Elite Academy X.”

“That’s not all. He has one more fearsome ability. Di Maria, have you noticed? Those around him might be of average ability, but after some time, they all develop at formidable rates. They turn from normal to exceptional,” Aurora said.

“Yes, I felt like something was off. Those like Zhang Shan and Takumi are monsters now, and not so easy to deal with.”

In the past, such people would have been an early end if they faced Di Maria. And now?

“I don’t believe that he has no weaknesses. Everyone has weaknesses.” Ouyang Ruoliu smiled. For someone to make a proud guy like Di Maria this jealous, this guy must have something.

“If you had to force the issue, that guy is too serious about his relationships,” Di Maria said.

Ouyang Ruoliu had the same thought as Si Jiali. This was a weakness?

Without question, in terms of tactics. But what about in terms of a relationship?

Perhaps because the topic was too heavy, everyone changed to a different direction. After chatting for a while, Ouyang Ruoliu rose to leave. Paars was grateful. If it had not been for Ouyang Ruoliu’s intervention, he would have been dealt a punishing lesson, even if Wang Zheng had decided not to kill him. If this matter reached his family, it would have escalated.

On the other side, Dong Er and Qian Xuedie had also just learnt about it. They had also heard about it previously. After all, Aina’s actions had been extremely conspicuous, and in the end it had been hushed up to become gossip within royalty.

So this was the guy that Princess Aina liked. It was clear that given his status, Kashawen and the imperial family could not accept it. That was a hard line.

But there was no such problem with Dong Er’s family. “Dong Er, this person seems not bad. Steady and open, not like that prettyboy Paars. He’s too much of a coward.”

“Not just not bad, he’s extremely awesome. I have some news as well,” Ouyang Ruoliu said as she walked in.

“Say it, say it. I love gossip,” Qian Xuedie excitedly said. This was one nosy loli.

Ouyang Ruoliu repeated everything that Di Maria and Aurora had said. Besides Huiyin, the other two were flabbergasted.

“He’s that good? I couldn’t tell!”

“Anyone who basks in the light of Aina must be something special. If she won’t take it, I will.” Dong Er puckered her lips. Seeing the gazes of the other three, she hastily waved it off. “I’m kidding. You three have no sense of humor.”

“I guess there’ll be some interest in this SIG. Our family did an assessment before. Saruman Snake indeed deserves their place in the top 10, but if you take away Wang Zheng, they would be in the top 50 at most. But if he’s thinking of turning the tables single-handedly this time around, it’s impossible. SIG’s competition is too strong this time,” Ouyang Ruoliu said.

“Not necessarily. His specialty seems to be accomplishing the impossible,” Huiyin said. “Alright, show’s over, I’m headed back.”

“Let’s split then. Hopefully Dad is happy about this result.” Dong Er stretched lazily. But all their eyes concealed some dangerous signals.

Wang Zheng was like a spark from another world, foreign yet full of mystery and danger. It was irresistible. They had to find out more.

And because the network of relations was complex, all four besties were unable to express this fully.

All four left One Meter of Galaxy, and were naturally whisked away by private cars.

“Miss, are you going home, or...?” the driver asked.

Dong Er thought about it. “To my dad’s.”

Perhaps she should really get to know this Wang Zheng. Given her dad’s personality, he would never approve of someone average. There was no father who did not love his daughter in this world. Anyone who could pass her father was already something different.
