There are some soldiers from the units under Feng Yang and Regulus Zenith to check the central region just in case some zergs were still left behind. They were there to clean up and look for some clues left behind by the zergs. But when the soldiers had reached the central region, especially the centermost area, what welcomed them was just a small hill of ashes. Just based on the shades of grey to black this is clearly a mixture of wood, gravel, and corpses being mixed together in a pile.

Seeing that the supposed mansion can no longer be found in this place, someone must have to burn it. The one in the lead of this clean-up is Feng Yang. He was sent away by his brother-in-law, Regulus Zenith, to cool off his head. He had been extremely moody ever since the Marshal had returned and he couldn't even visit his adorable younger brother. His lover, Bai Yuyan, and the rest of Feng Jing's team except Feng Wu had joined this rally.

Han Ling exclaimed,

"Wow~ it is my first time seeing a pile of ashes as tall as a small hill!

"

Qu Yeon, who had grabbed a few ashes, frowned at how refined the ashes are.

"These... The ashes were refined with the hottest fire which means whatever or whoever burned this whole thing possesses affinity with fire at peak strength,

" he said.

Solaris Vega brought out some kind of machine from his inventory, which is why Lin Yven took some ashes as samples for his friend.

Lin Yven said with a smile,

"Here. You want to check the components in this right?

"

"Yes! Thank you, Yven,

" said Solaris Vega smiling.

He put the ashes in his gadget and let it check what the ashes are made of. After three minutes the results were out. Most of it is made of rocks, cement, and wood which means the missing mansion is indeed in with that small hill pile of ashes. But what is surprising about it is that the other half of the components, it is made of a zerg body. In short, numerous dead zerg bodies were burning with it.

Tang Si and the rest were stunned by the results. Even the adult soldiers with them were left gaping in shock.

Everyone's thoughts are as one. 'Fuck! Just how many zergs were killed in that mansion only to be burned together in the end. Just who is so strong to do that in just a night.'

But Feng Yang and Xue Ran were frowning as they thought of something.

Xue Ran approached his little one and said,

"Xiao Vega could also extract what kind of fire was used in this place?

"

"I... I can but... My database about able fire affinity is too low. The results would definitely be unknown.

" said Solaris Vega.

Everyone could understand his words. As a student except for their heavenly defying Young Lord Feng Jing, no student would have connections outside the scope of the academy. Feng Yang approached the genius boy and said,

"If I have the raw material can you register it?

" he asked.

Solaris Vega innocently nods his head in agreement but he is unexpectedly not afraid of Major General Feng Yang as he looks so much like Feng Jing.

"Yes!

" answered Solaris Vega.

A black-colored fire appeared on the top of Feng Yang's palm.

"Don't touch it directly my fire effect had some poison in it other than burning,

" warned Feng Yang

The genius boy pulled out a special cylinder storage which is used to keep a fire inside.

"Please place the fire in. So I can test its affinity and register it,

" said Solaris Vega.

Feng Yang said to his subordinates,

"Those who are fire type come over and register your affinity to help the kid expand his database. Tried mixing other elements so we can get a better result.

"

The soldiers started moving towards Solaris Vega in a formal manner, afraid of scaring the kid and obvious that the young man from the Xue Clan is showing his vigilance to anyone who dares to approach the innocent genius boy. Solaris Vega didn't notice the small movements of guarding made by Xue Ran as he was busy working on the task where all his concentration was given at.

After an hour, Solaris Vega finally found a match result for what Feng Yang wanted to know but he was a bit bewildered to see what appeared on his screen.

With confusion painted on his face,

"What is this? Cold Flames? Something like this existed? So is it hot or is it cold?

" asked Solaris Vega.

"It's possible. If you possess both fire and ice-related bloodlines. This is a special fire that is so cold that it felt like a burn. It's a lot more painful than a normal fire.

" said Xue Ran as he patiently explained to his adorable junior the difference between a normal fire and a cold flame.

They've seen admiration and awe within this innocent genius boy's eyes. Those pair of clear eyes made Xue Ran laugh a bit, a smile suddenly appeared on his cold face which stunned Solaris Vega and the rest of their teammates. Those who understand couldn't help but snicker and tease them but the rational ones choose to read the detailed report of the results Solaris Vega had captured. They were still thinking of who is the possible person who could annihilate the zergs in the central region. He left no corpse and cleaned up everything after he left. If not for Solaris Vega's devices they wouldn't even notice that the thing that burned this whole area is something known as cold flames.

Then looking at some parts of the surroundings, they had finally remembered that they were standing at the mouth of the volcano which is supposed to be active all day and night, and had suddenly become dormant.

Bai Yuyan said,

"Isn't this volcano supposed to be active all the time? Why is it dormant right now?

"

"Must be because of those cold flames,

" responded Tang Si.

Tang San commented,

"But the only one who had left the camp last night the day after yesterday is only Lord Jing though. He is from the Phoenix Clan, so isn't his main element, fire?

"

"Indeed. Us Fengs have fire as our main but my mother and grandfather's other half have a different bloodline

" said Feng Yang as a black flame appeared in his hand once again.

"Mine is a fire with poison, those who were not affected by burning would be poisoned instead. To mine and the current generation, it is normal to have a dual affinity.

"

Bai Yuyan said,

"Then... is this really the work of Xiao Jing?

"

"Yes. Though I know he would go to this place, I would never have expected he would annihilate everything in here. He must be extremely angry for this to happen.

" replied Feng Yang.

Feng Ren approached his master and asked,

"What should be done next, General?

"

General Feng waves his hand and orders,

"We are going back now. Since Xiao Jing killed every zerg there must not be a single one alive in this region. We are returning to the camp and continue the training.

"

Everyone accepted that command and saluted at him.

Meanwhile somewhere in the Oberion Empire.

The Siren King, Voda, had arrived in some kind of throne room and lowered his head to show his respect to the man who was seated at the Emperor's seat before him.

With his hands cupped together, he greets the one in front of him like how cultivators greet each other,

"My lord, I have found the traitor's soul fragment in this world.

"

"Hm? Which vessel is it?

" asked the man sitting on the throne.

The siren king, Voda, answered in a servile manner,

"It is the vessel called Marshal Altair.

"

"Um~ that one isn't dead yet? So he diverted from the original plot. I thought the fragment was someone else.

"

"He isn't dead. There is someone by his side using the body of Young Lord Feng Jing,

" said Voda.

The eyes of the man sitting on the throne squinted his eyes as if he thought of something astonishing,

"Is it that monster? He is really alive as what father had said.

"

"Yes, but as expected he is greatly weakened,

" said Voda.

"Pft! Of course, he is. It is already surprising that he is still alive after sacrificing half of his soul to save that traitor's soul from completely fading. But this still doesn't mean that we could beat him in his current state. That monster still has his special bloodline skill 'Immortality', with it we could not really kill him.

"

Voda asked politely,

"Are there any changes in our plans?

"

"No. The main target will remain the same. But it seems that they had seen your vessel already. You should change it to a new one.

"

"There is no need for the lord to worry. This is just a spare vessel. My main vessel is still that one.

" said Voda as he smiled sweetly yet fake.

"That vessel indeed fits you more. Just don't talk nonsense while in it. You can go ahead now before someone else catches you.

"

Voda responded,

"As you wish, Lord Ye.

"

Back to Planet Citlali.

An announcement about emergency war warnings was given to all students who are participating in the current event. They were told that the Zergs were planning to attack this little abandoned star. Because of this, the students were being asked to make a choice. Either to stay and fight the zergs or leave and return to Oberion Empire as an embarrassment.

Most students choose the former option but there are some few who choose the second option. The one who chooses that second option as a choice without thinking of any consequences is the group led by Navi Naja. This arrogant little half-prince was egoistic and stubborn most of the time feared death more than anything.

But sadly, his cousin's elder prince brother doesn't allow him to return back to the Empire at this moment. After all, as a prince, Regulus Rigel still has a face to save. He had already made so many ugly situations which made his position as prince cold. A prince with no support from his people is nothing but trash, he wouldn't be able to sit on the throne without the support of the commoners.

Navi Naja already has red and swollen eyes due to crying,

"Brother, I don't want to stay! I want to leave. I don't want to die yet~ Wuwuwu~

"

"Who wants to die? You are not dying but we can't return to the Empire yet. Brother still has something to do here.

" said Regulus Rigel.

"If you are really afraid then let's join Imperial Uncle Zenith. It was said that everyone from the Interstellar Federation had disembarked on this planet in preparation for war.

"

"But he doesn't like us at all!!!

" retorted Navi Naja.

Regulus Rigel replied,

"Even if he hates us, he wouldn't abandon us in front of the surveillance camera.

"

"C-Camera?!?

" exclaimed Navi Naja his face paled when he heard about this.. Never had he expected that everything he had done since the first day of the competition was seen by everyone including his Male God, Marshal Altair.
