Tentacles quietly followed Wang Zheng and left. He had seen the scene clearly just now. Wang Zheng really did not make a move, but once he did, it was like thunder and lightning.
The Mad Scamper's attack came, and Charcoal's body moved like the wind to create a small distance. At the moment when the opponent's attack was weak, he shot out like a venomous snake. His left hand pushed away the opponent's knee, and his right hand was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, directly choking the opponent's throat.
Although a position like the neck was a vital point, but in such an attack, it was impossible to control. It was too risky. In the moment of attack, the whole body's flaws were completely exposed to the opponent, unless your control was completely above the opponent's.
The Mad Scamper definitely used a high level Blade Technique, but facing a middle level Blade Technique, his level was completely suppressed.
It was like a hole in a glance.
Tentacles knew that Charcoal was very strong, but he did not expect him to be this strong. This was still secondary. There were many strong people, but it was rare to see someone so ruthless and decisive. He even suspected that the opponent was a professional killer.
Looking at Wang Zheng's back, Tentacles smiled. No matter what he did, this person was loyal, and worth following.
"Brother Charcoal, thank you!"
Wang Zheng smiled. "Your strength is not bad, but you are overly reliant on your Ability X. In my understanding, Ability X is just an upgrade to your own fighting power or a trump card. If you rely on it, when you meet someone slightly stronger, you may be stretched thin."
Tentacles nodded. "I understand. I will definitely pay attention in the future, and not play tricks. It's just that the Wind Group …"
"I'm here to find trouble, so no matter what group or what association, if you want to come, then come." Wang Zheng was very indifferent.
Wang Zheng was very calm. The rules of the World of Saints were not bad. If the other party could use stronger martial arts to mess with him, then that would be quite a headache. It was fine to deal with one or two, but if there were too many, Wang Zheng would not be able to handle it. But even if it was from the Saint level, under the situation where he could only use the 8 Point Blade Technique, it would be a competition of comprehension of the realm. For this, Wang Zheng was really not afraid of anyone. On the contrary, he was looking forward to meeting someone who had a deeper understanding than him.
After Tentacles left, Wang Zheng did not immediately participate in the duel, but continued to train. He wanted to first train the 8 Point Blade Technique to a higher level. He was afraid that the Wind Group would not let it go so easily. It was better to be safe. According to the rules here, the fact that he had entered the Saint Trial could not be kept a secret. After this exposure, other powers would also intervene. When the Blade Technique reached a higher level, he would be invincible.
Wang Zheng's sudden departure had indeed caused many people to miss their chance. Logically speaking, this guy called Charcoal should have attacked a few more times, but in the end, he really did not come.
The reaction of the upper echelons would not be too fast. After all, there was still a huge gap between the Disciples and Saints. Even if one reached the Saints level, training would not be that fast. However, they had already attracted the attention of the lower echelons.
For example, Tentacles had also attracted the attention of the Wind Group because he had performed very well for more than a year. Once a big power with such status got involved, other powers would usually wait and see, unless they were absolutely strong.
And this incident was also funny. It was the first time that a big organization that ran through all 3 levels of the Saints was taught a good lesson by someone at the Disciples level. It was indeed rare, and it would probably become a joke.
TitaTitan Star was developing steadily. With the military support of the people of Tita, the Lan Family's strategy, and the Super Gravity Energy Ore, their position in the Milky Way Alliance was also a rare commodity. All the major countries had sent the highest level of embassies to TitaTitan Star. For TitaTitan Star, this was actually a little over the standard. However, under the premise of the Super Gravity Energy Ore, it was understandable.
The goals of the various countries were very clear. TitaTitan Star's control over the mining of the Super Gravity Energy Ore was very strict. It was the most protective mining. The annual output naturally could not satisfy the huge appetite of the entire Milky Way. The cake was only so big. Whoever could get a bigger bite would depend on their own ability.
Canyon City, Lan Kao City. Spies, lobbyists, schemers, and politicians from various countries were active. Without a doubt, to these people, this was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Whether it was the Lan Family or the new government of TitaTitan Star, they were all watertight. TitaTitan Star was waiting for the new. Anything could be discussed, but to increase the mining of the Super Gravity Energy Ore was definitely out of the question. Their attitude was very firm. This was the foundation of TitaTitan Star's short-term rise.
The various countries were also clear about this bottom line in their various activities.
This was a line that could not be crossed. The Earthworm Republic did not believe it, and were too arrogant. They wanted to use money to buy over the Lan Family. In the end, before TitaTitan Star could react, they were pushed out of the competition stage by the major countries.
Conspiracies had no place in this matter. It was too sensitive. Whether it was Aslan or the Arbiter Republic, they did not have the absolute power to suppress all the other competitors. In such a situation, the importance of rules was highlighted.
Everything was done according to the rules. If political coordination was not good, they would use the economy as a lever. They would use the market to distribute the final flow of the Super Gravity Energy Ore.
Everything was moving in a direction that was beneficial to TitaTitan Star.
Of course, the reason for such an effect was that the Lan Family had also changed. If it was the era of Lan Jiang, it might have become a trade of benefits. But with Mu Sen's entry, and the Lan Family's failure to stand up in time the previous time, their influence had been greatly reduced. At least if they wanted to do anything behind the scenes, their power was already very small.
However, although TitaTitan Star had received the evaluation of a first class planet, it was still a blank in terms of military strength. Although the Tita people were strong, their strength could only be displayed on the ground of TitaTitan Star. In the distant starry sky, TitaTitan Star only had a weak escort fleet. It was so simple that it could not even be called a fleet.
There were bound to be shipping routes, and once there were profits, there would definitely be pirates. For example, the Super Gravity Energy Ore might attract pirates in disguise.
At present, they were still in the eye of the storm. No one would dare to go against them. But in the future, this would definitely be a problem. In the dark market, Tita Star was also in high demand.
Under such circumstances, TitaTitan Star's only choice was to find a strategic military partner and form an alliance to give Tita Star time to develop. Of course, as a strategic partner, they would definitely have certain privileges.
After deciding on the market as the distribution, the various countries started to compete for the position of TitaTitan Star's military strategic partner.
There was only one position, and all the countries had put in a lot of chips. Among them, the Astina Federation and the Arbiter Republic had put in the most effort. They had thrown out heavyweight terms.
Aslan was also fighting for this position with all their might. With Lin Huiyin's initiative, they had gained a lot of advantages in the early stages. However, the situation had taken a turn for the worse as the Astina Federation and the Arbiter Republic spared no expense.
"What?! Arbiter was willing to rent a fleet to the Titatitan Star Defense Force for 50 years! He will also be responsible for the training of the warship's commanders and soldiers … "
That was ruthless! An entire fleet was given to TitaTitan Star for 50 years just like that! Although it was a lease, 50 years' time was enough for even the most advanced warships to be outdated.
Aslan's ambassador to TitaTitan Star, Steve, wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although Lin Huiyin had played an important role in the TitaTitan Star incident, and had built a good friendship with the Lan Family and the Tita people, but politics was like this. Friendship was friendship, and benefits were the basis of equality. Compared to the terms proposed by Aslan, the Arbiter Republic had spent a lot. If he was the person in charge of TitaTitan Star, he would also not choose Aslan because of Lin Huiyin's friendship.
And because Aslan had already gained benefits, the other countries were also reacting strongly. After all, no one wanted Aslan to be the only one. This was probably the reason why Arbiter was so anxious.
Just as the ambassador was hesitating whether to contact Aslan and increase the support for TitaTitan Star, or continue to use Lin Huiyin's relationship to open up the situation, another piece of news was sent to his desk.
"Astina has proposed a new term to TitaTitan Star. They will help TitaTitan Star build a planetary defense fleet and a deep space defense fleet within 10 years. All the warships will be produced on TitaTitan Star …"
It was not a lease, but directly nurturing their own military strength for TitaTitan Star. This was even more ruthless than Arbiter. Arbiter was only giving away warships for free, while Astina was helping TitaTitan Star build warship factories. This was the export of core technology, exchanging technology for minerals.
Steve leaned back on the chair in disappointment. Only the Arbiter Republic was easy to deal with. After all, Arbiter's image in the Milky Way Alliance had always been too strong. As long as TitaTitan Star had the slightest misgivings, he could use political means to stir things up.
But with the addition of the Astina Federation, the situation would be very different …
After thinking about it, Steve finally made a decision. He dialed up the special line of communication with the Prime Minister of Aslan. Now that things had come to this, it was no longer something that he, as an ambassador, could do anything about. If he reported to the higher-ups, even if it failed in the end, it would not be to the extent of placing all the blame on him and destroying his political life.
The communication received a response very quickly. Prime Minister Kashawen appeared on the screen very quickly. Very clearly, the matter of TitaTitan Star was at the forefront of the Prime Minister's cabinet.
"How's the situation?"
"It's very complicated. The difficulty now is very high. If we don't increase the investment, I'm afraid the hope is very small." The ambassador explained the new terms proposed by Arbiter and Astina.
"The situation in the country does not allow us to invest too much military resources on TitaTitan Star."
Kashawen did not even frown. She only coldly made the final conclusion.
It was not that the Aslan Empire did not want to increase the investment, but that the Aslan Empire was currently carrying out a 16 Country Military Summit. The topic was to advocate for the various countries to stop military expansion and work hard for the common prosperity of the Milky Way. At this time, if they increased the investment in TitaTitan Star's military, even if they used help as a reason to make others speechless, the price would be that the 16 Country Military Summit would not proceed because of this. Politics had always been like this. If you gained something in one aspect, you would have to compromise in another aspect.
