The disciple level was really shaken. News spread out in waves. What was this person, Black Charcoal trying to do?

Did he want to be an enemy of the world?

But this did not stop the number of onlookers from increasing. Many were powerful players from the acolyte level.

Perhaps some also desired such strength or such att.i.tude, but no one would actually be able to reach this ambition. This was not realistic and would make one an easy target.

Lear and Luo Fei had basically completed the acolyte level. They could level up to the saint level at any time. But before this, Lear wanted to make more complete preparations because once he reached the saint level; his plan would be fully launched.

He not only wanted to become the saint, but more importantly he wanted to control the power contained in this World of Saints. Not only the fighting styles – that was something everyone could get, but more important than the fighting styles, were the people.

This world was filled with powerful players. The most amazing part was no one knew who each other was. No one knew who was who and in this, an opportunity existed. If he could grasp it, it would become a terrifying power.

Lear had already formed a general outline of his plan in his head. This made him very excited. This world was as though custom made for him. No matter what the purpose of the Saint Church was, obviously, this World of Saints had cleverly evaded the limitations of the current world, and could fulfill the road to Kings.h.i.+p.

Hence he had already begun to set in motion his plan, but in such a strength-centric world, he needed to do it from a top-down approach. Both their powers seemed a little too thin, but Lear was a person adept at making use of the situation: skimping resources from the left and right, using others strength to defeat others, and eventually turning that strength into his own.

Especially when he did not lack money!

“Boss, of the people we have managed to attract so far, there are already 15 who are more worth the attention. Do you want to investigate their background?” Luo Fei said. Here, Luo Fei was less cowardly because he realized that he would not die anyway, so if he did not display his courage now, when would be a better time?

Lear shook his head slightly. “It’s not time yet. For our first step, 5 is enough.”

Lear wanted to build his own invisible power in the World of Saints. It was difficult to compete against another power even if he used all of the Chronos Family’s resources, however, if he wanted to use this few hundred years of acc.u.mulated power to control a few people, to Lear, this was still easy. The important part was his battle strategy had totally turned to this aspect. Outside, he had lost terribly in his clash against OMG. At the moment, Ye Bingwen and the others had already rose, and especially for now when their current situation was going strong, the Chronos Family also needed to avoid clas.h.i.+ng with them for now.

For the effort in this aspect, even if it was a black hole, the old Chronos also supported him completely.

If he could not get the support of this power, even if Lear was a genius of geniuses, he could at best build a higher position in the Solar System. And that was the highest he could reach. If he could get the approval from the Saint Church, or even control this power, it would just be the first step to ruling the Solar System.

Besides, ruling and controlling a certain right to speak were two completely different concepts. The Chronos family compared to this power was nothing, but such steadiness won a chance to gamble for great wins with little bets.

If he succeeded, he would win the world, and if he failed, he would lose everything.

But no matter whether it was the old Chronos or Lear, they obviously were crazy people that did not care for the consequences, as long as they felt that it was worth it.

To Lear, what else was more worthwhile than this?

“Eh? Boss, there seem to be a powerful player in the disciple level. This guy has already won consecutively 56 times and is still continuing. Oh right, he is that person who triggered the Saint trial in the disciple level.”

Luo Fei said. He received firsthand information because Lear had reached an agreement with the Shadow Group, the biggest intelligence organization in the World of Saints. Although he did not know specifically how much was spent, but this transaction definitely involved a huge amount that could cause Luo Fei to feel faint when he saw it. Actually Luo Fei was a little confused. Life was so comfortable when they did not lack money. Why must he do so much of these things? If he was in charge, he would buy a plot of land and build a house. Then he would hire a few pretty maids. That would be so wonderful.

Lear glanced at Luo Fei, dispelling Luo Fei’s fantasies. “Ahem, his name is Black Charcoal. He appeared only recently and is currently in the mid-level of the 8 Point Blade Technique. In addition to today, he had already pa.s.sed 2 disciple level trials totally. Definitely the only one.”

“Oh, that’s a little interesting. Let’s go take a look.”

Lear was a little tempted too. This kind of talent was rare. Trials in the World of Saints were famous for being tenacious. It was easy to pa.s.s but difficult to create a record. As for totally pa.s.sing, it was not easy to say. Lear also took part in quite a lot of tests, except that he felt that to totally pa.s.s was very difficult.

Who was this person?

w.a.n.g Zheng stood on the battle ground. It was already the 59th battle. He had already broken the continuous win record on the disciple level.

Once such an “arrogant” battle record appeared, it would definitely attract powerful players to challenge and suppress him.

In the World of Saints, unless you were the Saint, or the head of some great powers, you had to hide your tail to survive. Especially for the newbies of the disciple level, you had to know how to stay low-key. This kind of unique personalities were really rare and it seemed like he did not care for anyone’s face.

Opponent “The Last Lucifer”.

An officer of the Wind group. It looked like the Wind Group was now against w.a.n.g Zheng.

All those who were watching could not wait for more chaos to happen. This Last Lucifer was even more famous than the Mad Scamper.

Although their positions were about the same, but position did not represent strength. This Lucifer seemed to have gotten the best fighting style of the wind element and had quite a unique understanding of wind.

Even he was dispatched. This showed that the Wind Group was angered.

Actually, if it was only a private challenge, the Wind Group would not react like this. It was too bad that w.a.n.g Zheng’s current continuous wins had already become a topic of discussion. The Wind Group had no doubt become the most important supporting role in this big show and once the battles ended, it would quickly become a laughing stock.

This was something the acolyte level Wind Group leaders were unable to tolerate. In the World of Saints, the reputation of a group was very important. Once they lost it, everyone would look down on them, not to mention recruiting new members.

The dispatching of Lucifer also meant that the Wind Group wanted to end this farce.

The 60th battle, Black Charcoal against the Last Lucifer.

The Only One and Mad Puppy entered as well. As to the number of people watching, Lear did not really care. He from a powerful family extremely disliked situations like this because just having a name had no value.

He was here to take a look at this person. If he could use this person, he would be a good knife.

But at the first glance of this person, Lear frowned.

Luo Fei was still very sensitive to Lear’s reaction. “Boss, this guy’s name is so lousy. But he is really courageous. This Lucifer I’ve investigated before, very strong, and already booked by the people on the saint level.”

Organizations on the saint level without any status were not organizations. The development on each level was all focused on developing key members. Once you become the target of development of a certain power, then information, capital aspects were no longer a problem. Even though Mad Scamper was also an officer, but he was not a target for development. You could only say that he had some ability to take care of the matters of the acolyte level. On the other hand, Lucifer was different; the power behind his back would definitely bring him to enter the saint level. Even the fighting styles might have already been prepared.

Lucifer looked at w.a.n.g Zheng quietly. “Actually if it was my personal wishes, I would not be willing to fight against you under such circ.u.mstances. But the Wind Group’s reputation has to be defended.”

Looking at this person wearing a black steel mask in front of him, Lucifer felt a tinge of pity. Talented people were usually very stubborn but some were overly stubborn. To fight against the Wind Group was equal to killing his own road to levelling. You should not just look at how well he was doing in the disciple level. That was because big organizations like the Wind Group would not be wasting their strength on the disciple level. At most they would leave some observers to discover talented newbies.

Once you reached the acolyte level, you would understand how foolish it was to offend big organizations.

Seeing how the other side did not respond, Lucifer smiled and instantly attacked.

The same moment Lucifer smiled, Lear smiled too. “There’s really meetings everywhere in life. w.a.n.g Zheng, why do I seem to b.u.mp into you everywhere I go!”

Within Lear’s smile was a tinge of mixed emotions. His program was taken from the White Robed man. After he entered the World of Saints he also understood that there were many methods to obtain it. Except, where did w.a.n.g Zheng get his?

Based on his situation, he just came back from an isolated backwards world and was not likely to have any contact.

The Mad Puppy Luo Fei at a side was stunned. After all he was too familiar with w.a.n.g Zheng. Even though a mask was worn, but this posture was too alike, except that he only connected the two after Lear had pointed it out.

“This, boss, how did he come here?” From Luo Fei’s view, while w.a.n.g Zheng was lucky enough to come back from t.i.ta star, but he was severely injured too. He was actually the proudest person in the grand IG but was a.s.signed to such a place. And they on the other hand left good records under the Federal fleet. You could only admit that this world still belonged to the powerful.

“That’s not important.” Lear sighed. Lear was really quite conceited. Even in the past when Achilles was at his peak, he was also like this. Because their family’s Refining Heaven Arts was the type that could only be used well after a period of acc.u.mulation, whoever stayed to the end would be the winner. Of course this was until w.a.n.g Zheng’s appearance. In fact, just looking at w.a.n.g Zheng’s inhuman understanding of mecha, he possessed no weaknesses!

But this World of Saints was a world of fighting styles. It was a world that belonged to him. Only those who possess these ancient inheritances could exhibit their abilities in this world.

It was too naïve for w.a.n.g Zheng to want to achieve something here just based on his ability X and strong body, especially when he had offended so many people when he just began.

How would he end this?

From Lear’s view, w.a.n.g Zheng’s venting battles were childish and impulsive. Did he not understand the importance of this world?

At this moment, on the battle ground, Lucifer’s first round of attacks all missed. When he received the order to stop Black Charcoal, he was still a little unwilling.

Now that he had attacked, he realized that something was off. This person’s absolute speed was not faster than him, but his control was not worse than him. If not he would never be able to avoid his attack.

Was this a provocation?

Lucifer started to find this interesting. Sudden attacks and being fiercely fast were only the most basic characteristics of wind. Changing directions swiftly was the special trait of the wind.

This was also his specialty.

Lucifer attacked and this time w.a.n.g Zheng did not evade. He was blasted out several metres by one punch. Lucifer did not hold back. He knew how many were watching him battle now. But this was not the way he became famous. At his level, there was no need for that.
