What Lear wanted was the future leadership of the Solar System, and this would never be Taros' turn. There was no other way, as the status of the Hades Republic was too low. It was not that he did not want it, but he did not have the ability to do so. However, through Lear, he could also realize his own interests. At the same time, Lear was very generous and very kind.
Compared to going against a shady person like Lear, it was better to cooperate and deal with Achilles, even if he looked stronger on the surface.
The entire first stage was arranged by Lear. In the second stage, the leadership battle, Taros's role could be fully utilized.
The five reserve captains, each with their own strengths. It could be considered a tripartite balance of Lear, Achilles, and Lie Xin. Raston and Taros's inclinations would determine the direction of the balance.
Raston inherited the characteristics of the Caragal people. Neutral, competitive, but not involved in factions.
If Taros sided with Achilles now, the balance would immediately be broken. Achilles was already very strong, and this would give Lear a chance to team up with Lie Xin. In fact, it was three against one.
Once Achilles was taken care of, Lie Xin would no longer be his match.
Lear knew that since they had started fighting in Academy X, there would be a victor eventually. A good start was half the battle. This time, he would be representing the Solar System.
On Mars, Lie Xin was even simpler. The Lie family's control over the army was much better than others. Most importantly, there were not many taboos on Mars. This was also a natural thing.
The Lie family's situation on Mars was actually very similar to the imperial system. In some aspects, they even had an advantage.
In comparison, Ares College's situation was more like a normal student.
After training, Yan Xiaosu rushed over to treat everyone to a meal. An Mei was not around, and this brother was even more talkative, as if he had an endless supply of energy.
"You guys can train, but you have to enjoy life. Don't tire yourselves out. Sigh, I wonder how Xiao Xin is doing in Aslan. He did not even come back for the summer. What kind of school is that? I sent him a few messages, but I couldn't get through to him."
Yan Xiaosu complained. He had thought that the three of them would be able to get together during the holidays.
"He should be very busy. Don't be fooled by his usual calm demeanor. He's very competitive. He can't embarrass Earth when he goes to Aslan."
Wang Zheng laughed. Until now, Wang Zheng felt that the places Xie Yuxin went to were most likely related to Ability X.
Planet Elliot, which belonged to the Aslan Empire, was a sharp knife that the Aslan Empire plunged into the depths of the Milky Way. It was far away from Aslan's territory and a springboard to conquer the entire Milky Way.
It was a symbol of Aslan's expansion.
In the current era of peace, these strategic springboards of the past had been given all kinds of new meanings.
Planet Elliot had become an exchange ground. Aslan's civilization had radiated to the various countries in the Milky Way.
This was also a form of expansion, the expansion of civilization.
This was a prosperous and vibrant planet. In the center of the planet, Elliot City, there were hundreds of colleges and universities. Exchange students from the various countries of the Milky Way Alliance would receive the best Aslan-style education here. Only those with the best performance would have the opportunity to go to the capital of Aslan.
A spaceship shrouded in a dim light had passed the planetary defense certification and directly entered the planet's atmosphere from outer space.
The spaceship swept past Elliot City in the atmosphere, passing through the Shuliton Mountains before landing. The dim light emitted by the spaceship converged and dissipated, revealing the shape of the spaceship. This was a strange spaceship. It had the appearance of a popular Aslan design, but the technological features it displayed had traces of Atlantis.
On the other side of the Shuliton Mountains was a boundless desert.
The spaceship swept past the desert at low altitude and sent out a signal.
"Alpha 07's 57th test flight has ended. Requesting to return to the academy."
"Alpha 07 can return to the academy. Welcome back."
The spaceship drew a dim light and disappeared in an instant. There was not a trace of wind on the ground. In the air, there was also no sound of anything breaking through the speed of the spaceship. It was as if air resistance did not exist for this spaceship.
In the depths of the desert, the spaceship stopped and slowly descended. At this moment, the ground shook and the sand dune split open, revealing a metal door hidden in the sand. There was a huge 'X' drawn on it.
The metal door opened, and the spaceship continued to descend towards the middle of the door. At this moment, mechanical arms extended from within and fixed the position of the spaceship. A conveyor belt would bring the spaceship deeper underground.
This was a huge underground base.
However, the people coming and going in the base were not soldiers. Most of them were students wearing different types of school uniforms.
However, it was obvious that this was different from the average school. It was a little like a school, but also like a high-tech laboratory.
Even under the intense and efficient pace, everyone's face was full of energy and confidence.
Basement 28, Mysticism Research Room.
This floor could not be reached by every elevator. One had to swipe a card to verify their identity before pressing the "-28" button on the elevator.
In a research room, the walls were snow white, but the floor and ceiling were deep black. The strong color contrast brought about a strange impact.
In the middle of the room, Xie Yuxin and a middle-aged man sat across a transparent glass table. The chairs were also made of transparent materials. It looked like the two of them were floating there.
Xie Yuxin smiled faintly and looked at the middle-aged man.
In the middle-aged man's hand was a deck of poker cards.
"One more time. What is this card that I have drawn?"
The middle-aged man drew a card and glanced at it. He asked Xie Yuxin.
"Countdown begins."
At the same time, he popped out his Skylink and opened a joke website to read the jokes.
Xie Yuxin frowned. His Ability X was perception, and he had a little bit of foresight potential. However, he was not sure.
The so-called perception was to perceive information from the minute movements of others. The more focused the other was, the easier it was for him to perceive it.
He tried hard to read the information emitted by the middle-aged man. Clearly, the other was immersed in all kinds of jokes. However, the information he needed on "what is that card" would not disappear because of the other's immersion. This was still information that the middle-aged man knew. What he had to do was eliminate the interference and find the content he needed.
Beads of perspiration dripped from his forehead. Although it was an Ability X, it was not guaranteed to succeed. His type of non-combat type Ability X was usually more unstable.
"It's the Five of Hearts … wait … I saw it too. It's … the King of Clubs?"
Xie Yuxin let out a long breath and gave his answer.
The middle-aged man frowned and flipped the card in his hand. It was the Five of Hearts.
"Wrong choice … but why did you give the answer of the King of Clubs? I did not mislead you this time. "
Xie Yuxin had been here for half a year. His ability had improved rapidly. Such a mistake would not have occurred a month ago.
Xie Yuxin was stunned. "I don't know either."
"Maybe you're tired. Let's rest today." The middle-aged man looked at the time and said calmly. He and Xie Yuxin had been at it for two hours.
Xie Yuxin shook his head. "I'm not tired. Let's go again."
"Going too far is as bad as falling short … alright, since you insist, one more mistake and it's over."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he shuffled the cards and casually pulled out a card. He glanced at it, and in an instant, his expression changed to one of shock.
"Professor?" Xie Yuxin's eyes flashed, and he quickly caught the information. The King of Clubs. The card that had just been drawn was the King of Clubs!
"New improvement. Very good. Looks like your training will have to be redesigned."
Foresight ability! And it was a clear foresight, not a vague feeling.
It was too unbelievable. Humans' Ability X was based on an expansion of their instincts, but some had touched upon unknown areas. Xie Yuxin was clearly one of them.
Zhang Qing's voice was slightly agitated. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "Keke, Xie Yuxin, you've been here for half a year?"
"Yes, half a year."
"Congratulations, your ability assessment has advanced. You're the first representative from Earth to do so. From today onwards, your closed training will be lifted. You will enjoy a higher level of treatment and authority!"
Aslan's Ability X Research Institute was similar to the Academy X of the Milky Way Alliance, but it was done independently by Aslan. The main research direction was some non-combat Ability X, especially those involving foresight and time.
All along, humans had been curious about some of the runic powers of Atlantis, especially their religious beliefs and the existence of God.
The prophecy of God.
Ever since humans had entered a state of technological development, this kind of belief was more of a belief in the hearts of humans. But obviously, Atlantis was not like that. They really had this kind of power.
Aslan had the most contact with Atlantis. It was an ability to predict the future, which meant that it could avoid disasters.
Back then, Atlantis had chosen to join the Milky Way Alliance in accordance with God's will. The explanation to the outside world was that they came from the same source, but in fact, it was pure nonsense. It had been so many years, and there were no feelings to speak of.
But there was no doubt that this was a win-win situation. The Aslan Empire was an elite empire, and they had always been curious about this kind of power.
There were many students like Xie Yuxin. While receiving the best education in the Aslan Empire, this place could also provide the most comprehensive way to develop their abilities. This was something that schools did not have.
Xie Yuxin really learned a lot here, and he also made many friends.
Those with outstanding results could directly become Aslan citizens and enjoy the best immigration treatment. This was the reason why many students were attracted here.
However, Xie Yuxin was not like that. He wanted to learn more things, especially about Ability X.
Xie Yuxin thought of the information he had compiled on understanding Ability X, and could not help but smile confidently. In a while, he could send it to Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, especially Wang Zheng. Xie Yuxin knew that he needed it now.
He did not know why, but this was Xie Yuxin's intuition.
Unfortunately, Wang Zheng was not a beauty.
