Chapter 552: Battle of the Moon
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
With the official ending of the IG, the former eight stars of the Moon gradually separated, each going to different heights.
Achilles was still a king who was very highly regarded on the Moon. He was not covered by Lear’s accomplishments. After all, when the publicity angle was different, their focus would be different and hence, their results would not be the same too. Achilles, as the highly supported idol of Moon’s youths, was definitely not lacking in this aspect, especially when he did indeed appear as part of the main force. However, for a period of time after the IG, Achilles also became very low-key. Of course, it was to decrease the amount of unwanted attention and focus on his studies and training. The IG was no more than a minor test, to allow him and his competitors to know more about each other’s situation.
With growth, there would be changes. Friendship too, would not be stagnant. This was evident here on the 8 stars of the Moon.
Milo and Masasi were still maintaining a close relationship with Achilles. Dong Xiaosa and Pi Xiaoxiu also showed a closer attitude, closely following Achilles’s steps. Of course, this was also because their abilities could catch up. At the same time, they had similar interests. And the others, they gradually sought other paths because at least they could let themselves live happily. The game of rising against the world was not something everyone could handle.
The economic situation of the Moon was not bad, but the political situation on the other hand strangely went downhill. Not only in the whole of the Milky Way Alliance, within the Solar System Federation, and as Earth and Mars’ voices grew louder, Moon started to be suppressed. To a large extent, it was due to geographical problems.
Recalling that year when the Moon took over the leadership of the Solar System Federation, the Solar System was basically already a mess. To be honest, if it were not for the support provided by the Moon’s foundation, it was most likely that the Solar System would have long lost their seat on the Milky Way Alliance.
When there was chaos, no one stood up. Now that the Solar System was showing signs of recovery, many jumped out to pluck the peaches!
Except, in politics, the merits and demerits could never be clearly defined. One would only become the king or fail to grab the crown. At this moment, only when the Moon achieved certain results then could they stabilize their leadership. The Solar System had to be led by the Moon. This was the only way they could make a breakthrough and return to the peak that was the great voyage era!
Achilles’s situation could not be described as ambitious, but idealistic. He always thought that in the Solar System, the condition of the Moon and its mode of development was the best. And only Moon could catch up to the first class procedural developments of the Milky Way Alliance. Logically, the Moon should lead the direction of the Solar System but it was not the case in reality.
“Atos is completely useless now. The last time I saw him, his strength had not only failed to improved, but instead regressed a lot.”
Talking about the previous 8 stars of the Moon, Milo was a little awkward. Atos was the pain of the 8 stars. There was a saying that the separation of the 8 stars started with the betrayal of Atos.
Masasi smiled lightly but did not comment. He did not even want to mention Atos. Atos could not handle setbacks, and his true self was entirely revealed. Actually, if he was a little more mature, based on Achilles’s generosity, there might still be a chance. While he might never be part of the core members, but his ability could still be of use. It was not impossible for him to build a career. However he was now partying every night and mixing with all the wrong crowds, he was just wasting his life away.
Lidius who once had the slowest progress of the 8 stars was also not excluded now. His ability X may be progressing slowly but not everything needed a strong ability X. Under Achilles’s promotion and planning, Lidius was currently steadily advancing in the world of politics and became the representative for the new voices of the Moon’s youth.
Achilles’s low-key exchanged for an overall improvement.
Achilles smiled lightly but changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about these. This period of time, have you gotten used to the World of Saints?
Talking about the World of Saints, Milo’s eyes flashed. “I’m getting close to getting the 16 Point Blade Technique. But I feel that this Blade Technique is not very suitable for me. On the other hand, the low level Steel Heart Art and my ability is very well-matched.”
“Your feelings are not wrong. A low rating doesn’t mean low usefulness. There’s no strongest fighting style, just most suitable fighting style.” Achilles nodded and agreed with Milo’s choice.
Masasi said jokingly: “The Blade Technique matches with me quite well. Boss is right, the experience in the World of Saints greatly benefits our ability X in real life. Boss, why did you not bring it up earlier?”
Achilles smiled but explained seriously: “In the World of Saints, everyone could only have 1 invitation code. The people who entered the World of Saints through the invitation code have to enter the acolyte level before they could get another invitation code. This time, the invitation code I gave to you guys was obtained through a lot of effort. Also because there was an opportunity. For Dong Xiaosa and Pi Xiaoxiu, I need to wait another week to get it.”
Milo and Masasi’ hearts warmed. As long as it was something good, the two of them always got it first, ahead of others.
Achilles laughed: “Dong Xiaosa and Pi Xiaoxiu these 2 in this aspect have a certain martial arts foundation. They might get used to it faster than you guys. So you cannot relax.”
“Boss, what level are you at inside?”
Achilles’s eyes gleamed. “Saint level.”
In terms of ability X, he could suppress Lear by a bit. Actually it was not because his ability level was higher or stronger than Lear, but because of the experience he had accumulated from the World of Saints. He had already experienced even higher level powers in the Saint level; hence his Heavenly King Arts was that much stronger.
However, when he reached a certain level, the benefits of the World of Saints were not that substantial anymore. Until this time’s opening, the things hiding behind the fog had appeared. Achilles actually discovered the complete version of the Heavenly King Arts. This was something that he did not even dream about.
He himself was not that interested in the World of Saints. Hence he did not spend too much thought in it. Now he was starting to prepare again. In this aspect, he was indeed not as good as Lear. Lear was the type that would snatch any benefits that came by, as long as he felt that something was useful, he would grab on to it tightly.
For the opportunity this time, Achilles also had a certain level of mental preparation. The sudden strengthening of fighting arts was definitely an important factor in the expansion of the World of Saints. This made the effects of the World of Saints even more obvious.
In here, he had already taken the lead. There were many things in the Saint level that could not be imagined at all by people who were still at the disciple level.
To Achilles, the biggest goal he had currently was to complete his inherited set of Heavenly King Arts at the Saints level
The Heavenly King Arts that he was training in was actually only half of a complete set. Now, he discovered some clues in the World of Saints and the Saint level might have the next half of the Heavenly King Arts.
Of course, these were things that Milo and Masasi did not need to know. Achilles’s concern was the Elite Academy X. “There are many tests in the World of Saints, as long as they are open, go have a try. The experience that you gain all together will greatly boost your ability X in reality. You should advance to C rank soon and you can get the chance to participate in the test for the Elites College.”
As for the current situation, the Elite Academy X was in the direction of future trends. In various aspects, it was way more superior than the other talent development organizations. You could say that by not joining the Elite Academy X, you lose half the qualification to compete for the rule of the Milky Way. On ability, on starting point, you would totally lag behind.
If Milo and the others could not go to Elite Academy X, the effect would be halved and this was something Achilles did not want to see.
“I heard that Lear and that fatty had already headed to Roland Garros already. Lear is definitely no problem but that Fatty Luo’s ability X had already reached C rank?” Milo frowned.
“Looks like we have always underestimated our competitor’s abilities.” Masasi pursed his lips. He still had some ways to go before reaching C rank. But, he should be able to take some shortcuts with the experience provided by the World of Saints, and rise to C rank within a short period of time. It was possible to be on time for the Elite Academy X test.
Milo blinked and suddenly said: “You guys say, do you think that Wang Zheng had entered the World of Saints too?”
Milo’s sudden thought stunned everyone. With growth, resources and background would to a large extent determine an individual’s development space. Just like them, the things they had were far better than the average person and together with talent and hard work; it would be too difficult for other people to want to catch up. Also, as time passed, the gap would become bigger and bigger. Recall on your primary school classmates, and look at your university classmates after a few years. You would realize that people originally from the same world were now in different worlds.
Achilles was also stunned. This strange world might be big, but it was really not too easy to get in contact with it. Wang Zheng...He was a good competitor. But Achilles would not increase the difficulty for himself. While he did not dislike Wang Zheng, but he also did not want to fail again.
