"That would be the best. Otherwise, I would still be worrying about how to apply for leave from 36D."
Wang Zheng laughed.
“36D？ Your team's nickname is really special. "
Wang Zheng and Barry looked at each other. They laughed and quickly changed the topic.
Ever since they had confirmed Wang Zheng's identity, the Red Fox had been giving Wang Zheng a lot of face. Barry had indeed accumulated quite a lot of leave. Moreover, there wasn't much to do recently. The Red Fox had accepted the leave easily and didn't interfere too much with Wang Zheng.
Obviously, regardless of the reason why Wang Zheng was here, she felt that Wang Zheng wouldn't stay here for too long. Moreover, the Red Fox was really busy now. She was completely at a disadvantage in the competition for the squadron leader position.
In order to become a squadron leader, one had to have the approval of the higher-ups or the support of the local powers. For example, the Lan Family.
Clearly, the Red Fox didn't have either. Initially, she wanted to use Wang Zheng as a bargaining chip. However, she was too naive now. Wang Zheng originally belonged to the entire squadron. This had nothing to do with who was the squadron leader.
In this case, the Red Fox didn't have any requirements for Wang Zheng. He could do whatever he wanted.
The core team of Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu and Barry had been formed. The basic framework was already in place. Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu were very satisfied with the situation of the Wind God. They would use the Wind God prototype as a template to research and develop a new mech.
The three of them had a common point of view. Tita Star's mainstream idea of heavy mecha was wrong. The terrain of Tita Star wasn't suitable for heavy mecha. To deal with the giants, suppressing a bigger and bulkier mech was definitely a mistake. The direction of design should be based on the attributes of the planet.
When Barry was in the military school, he was famous for his theory of mecha based on attributes. If it could be realized, it would undoubtedly improve the application of Ability X in mecha.
Ye Zisu and Barry were professionals while Wang Zheng was the best experimental pilot. Through Wang Zheng's testing of the mech, they would find the best direction for improvement.
Such days were the happiest for Barry. Initially, he thought that he would have to spend the rest of his life on Tita Star aimlessly. However, things had taken a turn for the better. He could work with the genius designer and the super strong IG to create a revolutionary mech.
This completely unrealistic and even dream-like life had ignited Barry.
A dreamer lived to be unrealistic.
However, in his research, he quickly discovered many problems. In theory, it was feasible, but Wang Zheng did not understand the wind attribute very well. At the same time, the mech lacked the basic materials, which was the most crucial material that could reflect the wind attribute of the mech. G-material was obviously insufficient.
However, the three of them would never turn back even if they ran into a wall. If it was easy to complete, they wouldn't be the ones to do it.
Far away on Mars, Lie Xin and Lie Guang had also made great progress. Lie Xin was in the Federation's Third Fleet, while Lie Guang had entered the training camp of the Mars First Special Forces. Lie Guang, in particular, had swept away his decadent and frivolous image. The Martians now called him a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf.
As for Lie Guang, he would definitely become Lie Xin's greatest support and assistance. The Lie Family would have a successor, stabilizing the Lie Family's authority in the Federation. There were pros and cons to this, and the key was the successor.
Lie Guang had already passed the rebellious age. The IG had completely transformed the playboy of the past. The days of the past were as illusory as smoke. The outside world was huge, and Lie Guang had truly found his goal and position. Perhaps it was even more challenging. In this IG, he was just a passerby, but the next time, he would definitely be the main character!
The last day of the month was the holiday for the Special Forces Reserve Camp. Lie Guang had no intention of going home, but intended to add to his training.
Early in the morning, he had just finished a warm up run of 10 kilometers and was about to start mech training when Lie Guang saw Lie Xin.
"Sis? Why are you here? "
Lie Guang was slightly taken aback. Logically speaking, Lie Xin should be very busy now. The Federation's Third Fleet was not Mars. Although the identity of the Lie family's heir would give her a certain advantage, it would not be easy to truly gain the Third Fleet's approval. Especially now that Lear was shining so brightly. This person was indeed an expert at manipulating others to gain credit.
As for Wang Zheng, he had already been selectively forgotten. The Chronos Family's best method was to confuse the public, and they were very good at using the pressure of the media and public opinion.
Of course, the Lie Family was not a kind family. Their own interests would definitely be guaranteed. Lie Xin had also been in the limelight quite a bit, especially since she was a beauty.
"Why? Can't I come and visit my cute little brother? "
Lie Guang smiled. "You can, but as far as I know, Sis, you don't have the leisure to do so now, right? Tell me, what's the matter? "
"It's the Sage's summons. You and I, together."
Seeing that it was the Sage's order, Lie Guang's smile disappeared. "Wait for me to take a bath and change my clothes."
After a few hours, the two of them arrived at the Sage Sect with the mindset of a pilgrim. The mountain gate was already wide open.
Taking their first step into the mountain gate, Lie Xin and Lie Guang looked at each other. Their gazes were a little strange. The two of them could clearly feel that something was different from the past. At this moment, the seemingly ordinary Saint Mountain faintly emitted some kind of attraction. Looking at the Sage Sect at the peak of the mountain from the mountain gate, there was a solemn feeling as if they were bathed in holy light.
The two of them had unparalleled determination. They could clearly feel that their current state of mind was definitely not because of their sincere faith in the Sage Sect, but because they were affected by a kind of substantial power.
With doubts in mind, they walked up the mountain step by step. A teacher stood at the entrance of the hall. Seeing the two of them coming up, he first bowed to Lie Xin, and then to Lie Guang.
Lie Xin was a guest, while Lie Guang was an inner disciple of Sage Odin. He was a senior. Naturally, the weight of this bow was different.
Lie Xin and Lie Guang also returned the bow. They felt that today was different. Usually, when Xiao Bai came out to welcome them, he would have a mischievous look. Today, he had a straight face, and his every move was very proper.
"Miss Lie, senior, this way please."
Xiao Bai brought the two of them through the front hall. He did not go towards the middle hall where Sage Odin usually stayed, but continued to bring the two of them to the back hall.
Lie Guang's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Junior Brother Xiao Bai, when did the back hall unseal?"
The back hall was the forbidden area of the Sage Sect. Only the Sage could enter. It was said that after every generation of Sage passed away, they would be buried in the back hall.
But now, he was bringing him and Lie Xin over. He was, after all, an inner disciple of the Sage Sect, and could be considered a member of the Sage Sect. Although Lie Xin was a descendant of the Lie family, in the Sage Sect, she was only one of the important believers. She could not be considered a member of the Sage Sect.
"Just yesterday, the Honored Master and the three Elders opened the back hall's underground palace."
Xiao Bai did not say much, and only signaled for Lie Xin and Lie Guang to quicken their steps.
Entering the back hall, in an instant, the influence at the foot of the mountain became even stronger. Their state of mind was incomparably calm, as if all the pressure had disappeared from their bodies.
Passing through the back hall, there was a garden surrounded by tempered glass. This was the style of the early colonization of Mars. At that time, the environment of Mars was still very harsh. Martian sandstorms would erupt from time to time, and they had to use tempered glass to protect the precious green plants.
Teacher Gan Chen did not step into the garden, but stopped at the door. "The Honored Master is inside."
Lie Xin and Lie Guang stepped into the garden, and followed the small path forward. They saw a small pavilion made of stone. The current Sage Odin was sitting in it, giving off a feeling of being out of this world.
"Come in."
Odin waved his hand lightly.
"Yes."
The moment they entered the gazebo, the two of them could clearly feel the power that had affected their state of mind rapidly disappear. Odin, who had seemed ethereal and illusory outside the gazebo, also returned to normal.
Odin smiled faintly, and nodded lightly at Lie Xin. "You felt it?"
Lie Xin lowered her head and bowed. "Yes, Master."
"There are not many who can feel it. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong's talents are not bad, but we do not have this fate. Lie Xin, are you willing to be my direct disciple?"
Lie Xin's eyes instantly became passionate. All along, she had wanted to be a disciple of the Sage. Although the Sage Sect accepted female disciples, the Sage himself did not accept female disciples. At most, it would be in name, but it was impossible to be a direct disciple.
"This is your disciple's honor. Please accept me as your disciple to listen to your teachings."
"Good, very good." Odin smiled.
Odin smiled slightly, and said to Lie Xin, "I have already applied for three months of leave for you. In these three months, you can stay here with Lie Guang."
The Lie family was different from others. They did not need to deliberately consolidate their influence on Mars, but it was difficult to expand it. This was also a double-edged sword.
Hearing this, Lie Guang's eyes moved. "Master, is there something big?"
"It's nothing big, just preparing for a rainy day … The key to fate has opened up a new era. I can only vaguely feel it. You don't have to investigate. Knowing too much will only be bad for you. There is no benefit. Just let nature take its course." The Sage smiled slightly.
The key to fate … this was the second time Lie Guang had heard his master mention it. His eyes turned, and Lie Guang changed his question. "Master, recently I feel that the effect of the Lie Flame Technique has obviously become stronger. In the past, it was at most supportive. Now I have a feeling that as long as it is used correctly, the Lie Flame Technique can be more terrifying than any weapon."
Lie Xin's gaze moved, and she nodded her head lightly, confirming Lie Guang's words. She had the same feeling, and it was even more profound than Lie Guang's. Her Lie Flame Technique could already unleash a terrifying power like Ability X. If it was combined with Ability X, the power would be even more terrifying. She even had a feeling that the so-called Ability X should be the power to support the Lie Flame Technique.
Odin smiled slightly, and within his smile, there was a hint of admiration. "Cultivation techniques were originally the pinnacle of human civilization. A long time ago, many cultivation techniques, including the Lie Flame Technique, had the power to dominate the universe. But that era ended. The Sage Sect's last record of that era wrote, 'Like the Twilight of the Gods, with the setting sun, disappeared …'."
Lie Xin blinked. "Could it be that those legends, are all true?"
The records of the Sage Sect were different from those legends that were passed down by word of mouth. They would definitely not be wrong, nor would they be exaggerated. They would only record what had happened.
