Chapter 59: Wings of Wind

　　*Shoot! They’re too expensive!*

　　Looking at the prices of the attribute stones, Wang Hao felt the urge to curse.

　　Level-two Strength Stone: For Martial Masters to increase their base strength. Max usage: Ten. Price: 500,000 points

　　Level-two Strength Stone: For Martial Masters to increase their base speed. Max usage: Ten. Price: 500,000 points

　　Level-two Strength Stone: For Martial Masters to increase their base spiritual power. Max usage: Ten. Price: 500,000 points

　　Level-two Strength Stone: For Martial Masters to increase their base stamina. Max usage: Ten. Price: 500,000 points

　　As I recall, they used to be a thousand points apiece, but why is it 500,000 points now? Wang Hao was dumbfounded. Buying out all of them required twenty million points. He could only afford two categories of attribute stones now.

　　〈〈The attribute stones that the host bought were level one; these are level two. Their effects are different.〉〉

　　“But the five-hundred-time gap is still too huge!” Wang Hao complained.

　　〈〈If the host finds them too expensive, you can buy the level-one attribute stones, which are cheap.〉〉

　　“Damn it…”

　　Wang Hao rolled his eyes. Level-one attribute stones were for Martial Apprentices, and he had already used them ten times. There was no point in buying more!

　　“Fine. I’ll have level-two strength stones and level-two spirit stones.” Wang Hao sighed. He had to work harder for the speed stones and the stamina stones later.

　　〈〈Ding-dong. The host has paid ten million points for ten level-two strength stones and ten level-two spirit stones.〉〉

　　Soon, after Wang Hao used the strength stones and spirit stones, he was five times stronger and much more energetic. It would be very easy for him to pilot the mecha wolf now.

　　I only have 3,100,000 points left. I’m bankrupt again. Wang Hao wondered what bad things he should do to acquire more points.

　　Ding! Ding!

　　Wang Hao’s smart wristband buzzed. He opened it and saw Zhong Li’s message asking him to go to the No. 11 High School tomorrow to take a spaceship to the ground of the screening test.

　　A space journey? Wang Hao wondered how it felt to fly in the universe.

　　Forget it. I’d better sleep first. Seeing that it was already dark, Wang Hao went to bed. He needed to have a good rest for the screening test tomorrow.

　　While Wang Hao was sleeping, Xia Weiwei was wreaking havoc everywhere in the mecha wolf.

　　She was in the sky and in the ocean, opening fire at the mountains and blowing whistles at the beautiful girls on the street…

　　Soon, the news that Xia Weiwei was piloting the mecha wolf spread throughout Earth.

　　Soon, it reached the ears of Xia Weiwei’s family.

　　…

　　The Xia family was a very ancient one, with a history that could be dated back to the establishment of the Universal Federation.

　　It was said that the Xia family had three Martial Emperors during its heyday.

　　However, for some reason, the Xia family left the Imperial Planet and came to Earth. They had kept a low profile since then.

　　At this moment, Xia Dongsheng, leader of the Xia family, was listening to the report.

　　“Martial Master, according to the news, the lady’s mecha wolf is Wang Hao’s. Zhuo Yu offered it to him,” a servant reported.

　　Xia Dongsheng waved his hand, signaling for the servant to leave.

　　After he left, Xia Dongsheng looked at Xia Mingyang, his son and Xia Weiwei’s father, and said, “Mingyang, it’s time for the Xia family to emerge.”

　　“Is it?” Xia Dongsheng exclaimed and looked at Xia Dongsheng in shock.

　　Xia Dongsheng nodded and said, “Wang Hao has distinguished himself. Li Yunyang is practicing the Soaring Dragon Art. Many talented young people are showing up on other planets, too. Everything indicates the arrival of an era of geniuses. How can the Xia family not be a part of it?”

　　“But Weiwei is only seventeen… She’s still immature…” Xia Mingyang hesitated.

　　“What about that?” Xia Dongsheng sniffed. “Our ancestor weathered through it at the age of ten. She’s sixteen. Why do you think she can’t? Must we wait until she is an adult?”

　　Xia Mingyang sighed. “I’ll bring Weiwei back and try to get it finished before tomorrow.”

　　Xia Dongsheng waved his hand, and Xia Mingyang backed off in respect.

　　…

　　In the Vision Equipment Store, Yun Chuyao gave an enormous silver case to Le Xuan and said, “This is what your father left for you. Since you’ve grown up, I’m giving it to you.”

　　Le Xuan opened the case and saw plenty of notebooks that recorded tips and knowledge on guns.

　　There was a pair of wings on the cover of every notebook. Anybody who saw the mark would exclaim, because it was the symbol of Le Yuanguang, the best gunslinger in the Universal Federation, known as Wings of Wind.

　　A dozen years ago, the Universal Federation was invaded by a strong enemy, which was about to break the Universal Federation’s defense.

　　At this moment, Wang Tianyi, the Mighty Commander, made a shocking decision. He planned a decapitation operation with Le Yuanguang, who was a lone wolf back then.

　　Everybody thought that Wang Tianyi was mad. How could they execute the enemy’s commander by themselves?

　　They were not in ancient times, when they could pretend to be their enemy with their enemy’s clothes. How could they expect to deceive the advanced identification systems?

　　When everybody thought that they would never return, they achieved the impossible and made it back alive.

　　Since then, people had called Le Yuanguang Wings of Wind and Wang Tianyi King of Lightning in memory of how they penetrated the enemy’s defense freely.

　　“It’s all because of Wang Hao’s father. Otherwise, Yuanguang wouldn’t have disappeared.” Yun Chuyao slapped the table angrily.

　　“Wang Hao?” Le Xuan looked at her mother in confusion. Suddenly, she felt that she knew who Wang Hao’s father was.

　　Years ago, her father received Wang Tianyi’s invitation for a certain mission. They both went missing and were never heard of again for the next seven years.

　　Her mother said that it was all Wang Tianyi’s father’s fault. Considering what happened that day, and that Wang Hao’s surname was also Wang, who else could his father be if not Wang Tianyi, the Mighty Commander?

　　“It’s pointless to talk about that now.” Yun Chuyao sighed and said softly, “Dear daughter, I’ve talked with Senior Su Mu. I’ll relocate the Vision Equipment Store in Empyrean North University, so that we wouldn’t have to be away from each other.”

　　Le Xuan’s lips twitched. It was true that a Martial Emperor could do anything they wanted. Who could open a weapon store in a university? Also, she was not a kid anymore…
