"Student next to Ban Meng," said the teacher as the sharp eyes zapped to Ye Chong's side abruptly, "Answer the question : Is Tertiary Control the optimum choice of all controlling methods? Justify your answer."

Ye Chong collected his thoughts and gave his answer gradually, "No, I believe it is not, as Tertiary Control, despite its advantage of multiple connective control, is not as superior as Primary Control in terms of concentration and liberty, but I believe Tertiary Control is unique in its own way…," Ye Chong's voice trailed off.

Ban Mang's eyes were wide as his jaw. The students were astounded, even Duo Fei had a brief astonishment in his disdain.

"Right. Your understanding might be slightly different from the textbook answers, but you managed to provide us a brand new angle on this issue. Impressive,"complimented the teacher.

Ye Chong sat down calmly.

"How the hell did you know that? You told me you don't know parapsychic at all!" ranted Ban Meng the moment Ye Chong got himself seated.

Keep acting! Keep acting you pretentious snob!

Glared Ban Meng.

"I just so happened to know it," replied Ye Chong casually. It was Huang Baiyi's works, he wanted a fitting apprentice to be his successor after all. It was a shame that Ye Chong did not have the necessary talent and more importantly, the interests to master the neurokine studies, even though Huang Baiyi pumped everything he had discovered all these years right into Ye Chong's head. So Ye Chong was technically a genius on paper, but not in the neurokine battlefield.

School day was long and it was finally over. Throughout the whole day, Ye Chong seemed to be the dead serious student compared to Ban Meng. Other than the occasional antisocial moments as he interacted with the other students, Ye Chong appeared to be the expert in other fields. It usually only took a keyword from the teacher before he made pronounced association with the technological system he had learned for years.

One's unfamiliarity in a field was mostly due to the lack of association, the crossing point between two different systems, like technology and culture for example. Once the point had been found, Ye Chong had a much better understanding on the rules and regulations here.

Well, the most helpful, as well as the most essential information should be the location - where exactly was Ye Chong? And how was he supposed to get back to He Yue from here? The classes were not a problem to Ye Chong but he had to get home one day.

He gave it a thought and felt great suspicion of that black disc, the distortion disc, the odd "spatial window phenomena" Kui claimed. But how did it work? He had been walking around the edge for long yet something just had to happen at the worst timing.

There must be something going on in there.

Unfortunately, Ye Chong was not gifted in Space Science. The long chain reaction of Physics formula were beyond his comprehension.

So there remained one sole task at the moment - he had to make himself a part of this place, as soon as possible, to ensure his survival before he made it back to He Yue at least. Then from there he would begin plotting an actual escape plan or perhaps trying to contact Mu/Shang.

The class bell was wailing.

"Come, I'll show you the weapons," said Ban Meng, a little relaxed upon seeing the hyperactive child beside him acting normal today.

"Mhm." Ye Chong got up and followed Ban Meng to the otuisde.

"Hmph." Duo Fei did not seem pleased of the two boys getting along.

…

Sauntering on the street, Ye Chong was seemingly serene, without that panicked look-a-round when he first arrived at this city. Ban Meng, meanwhile, was ahead of him, appeared to be pondering as his head lowered.

"Yup, we are here." They were at a rather quiet corner of the city. There was a lawn, or perhaps a garden, an isolated ground from the hustles and bustles.

That was when Ye Chong felt something.

Beep!

A silver crane flew towards them!

Light grenades showered the ground.

Ye Chong squinted his eyes as time began flowing slow. The world had become a slow-motion, the sound of light grenades faded out as his gaze converged upon the flying crane, on which fine linings like a spiderweb were formed.

The Jie expert was leading the show today.

That was Ye Chong's exclusive move.

He could discern every firing in his eyes, the orbits, the shapes - traveling like a logical, mathematical calculation before him.

The spiderweb vanished upon the breeze and his pupils relaxed.

Boom! Crash! Boom!

The grenades bombarded the surrounding, veiling up the dust, smudging choking the two boys.

"Duo Fei! Dang it!" said Ban Meng angrily. He recognized that crane! The Silver Arrow! He knew Duo Fei would seek revenge for the humiliation he got today!

Good-for-nothing boy is sure good-for-nothing.

Thought Ye Chong as he looked at the silver crane.

Like really, if you have problem with Ban Meng or me, why don't you just get down and fight immediately? Save both parties' time, plus, this method of assassination could do barely a thing to us.

Ye Chong did not really perform evasion, since as he had said, he would be hardly hurt by these grenade showers. Moreover, the smudge would give him a good camouflage.

"Which silly brat is messing up MY place?" The thunderous voice bombarded , as a beauty with brownish long hair stood with a stomp behind them. She was wearing a leather camisole, revealing the bouncy pairs as well as the fair, lean long legs which contributed to her enchanting curves in that tight apparel. The crimson lips were clipping a lighted cigarette as her slim arm wielded a broad tube about her height.

"Ugh!" She spat the cigarette, as she lifted the clearly heavy tube over her shoulders. Her eyes were glaring like an owl.

"Get the hell down here, right now!"

And a beam was fired from the tube, all the way towards Duo Fei's crane.

Meanwhile, Duo Fei was still in his triumphalism from the victory of social service of putting the trash at the right place, as his smiley eyes fixed upon the dirty face of Ban Meng. "Sometimes trash needs to learn his place," he muttered as he was going to pilot the crane away.

But who knew? A broad beam just passed the right wing of the crane.

Duo Fei, upon the sound of explosion, looked at the ground.

Holy Dopamine! A woman was lifting a fearsome looking cannon, cussing him in the worst anger he could imagine.

A hand-carried single barrel light cannon? That was real heavy firearm! Silver Arrow would be joining the ground if it got hit by that blast!

Duo Fei frantically accelerated his crane and ran away.

Geez! Why are there so many lunatics on the street today? Duo Fei seriously begged for a wormhole to send him somewhere lightyears away.

"Dang it. It's been so long that my sense got numb. I actually missed that b*stard!" cursed the beauty as she slammed the cannon to the ground.

Crash! The ground cracked like the aftermath of a meteorite fall. One should be able to imagine the weight of that handheld whale now.

"So why is this twerp here?" said she, ignoring Ban Ming, her eyes focused on Ye Chong.

"My cousin, my beloved sis, I am just inviting my friend to see your masterpieces. He has passion for weaponry," said Ban Meng.

Yes, that was Ban Feng's cousin, named Kristen.

"This twerp?" Kristen did not sound impressed, "You are telling that this pea-sized kiddo wants to check out my weapon? With the breadth of his arm he can't even hold hand of a lady throughout a Sunday movie night, and he wants to hold a cannon? You're kidding me, right?"

She approached Ye Chong, in a confrontational manner, "Kiddo, go play with your action figure or something. These weapons are dangerous."

And Ye Chong could feel an aroma crawling into his nose.

Well, it appeared that the lass did not intend to let Ye Chong in, so he began pondering… he thought about a way to go in, whether the simple way or the complicated way.

Mhmm, he seemed to fancy the complexity better, since well… the simple, straightforward manner of him doing things always got him in the way eventually.

"I believe it could be appropriate to recognize the requirement of matching the weapon-type to its user's physique but I also believe there is no absolute correlation between them," said Ye Chong, like a bookworm on an academic debate.

"Oh c'mon sis, you got to show us," pleaded Ban Meng, simply because he did not want the walking bomb beside him to blow up at the moment.

"You seem to know something, eh, twerp. Why don't you get free huggies from me, awww you cute little thing!" Kristen, ignored her cousin again, reached out to Ye Chong, feeling like to squeeze the little boy into her gorgeous spheres.

And Ye Chong quickly took a step back, dodging the seductive grip of Kristen.

"Oh?" Kristen seemed impressed, "I did not expect you to be a platonic lover. I like you," said Kristen as her arms wrapped upon her spheres, with a suggestive smile, "Well, if you want to view my weapons, it's all here. As long as you behave… for starters, lifting this with one arm, like me?" She pointed the ground-shattering cannon she used just now, Kristen gave Ye Chong a proposition.

"This?" Ye Chong tilted his head.

"Yes, this. I *love* strong man who could lift things like a superhero." She winked, the smile had brewed into something else…

Hah! Of course this. I can't be asking you to lift me a toothpick. Nerds like you will never be able to lift this cannon. It's a heavy firearm about 150 kg, probably thrice of your weight, which only beefy men could wield fine, or maybe a monster like myself. Please, Ban Meng, if you want to bring guests over, bring the real deal alright? At least the boy is cute, let me teach him some lesson.

Ye Chong walked towards the cannon and bowed. He did not lift it right away, instead he gave a careful observation first.

It was indeed a powerful cannon, but it lacked dexterity, as well as the necessary frequency to make it applicable in all war scenes.

That was Ye Chong's comment.

Meanwhile, Kristen was waiting that drama to happen, as she looked at Ye Chong. She presumed that quiet staring by this boy a clear sign of lack of confidence.

After analyzing the strength of the weapon, Ye Chong already had a judgement in his mind. He reached his hand upon the cannon. A simple lift, "Is this what you want?" He looked at Kristen, he did it.

Kristen almost lost her eyeballs as astonished by the scene, "H-h-h-how???"

Ban Meng sneered, the indifferent boy was pretty strong alright? His cousin would soon face doom.

Ye Chong stared at Kristen calmly, contrary to how Kristen looked at him like a monster. Well, Ye Chong was confused of the meaning of the trial since 150kg was not considered lightweight but not exactly super heavy either. In He Yue galaxy, almost everyone could lift such weight, especially the Sangs, who probably could lift it like a school bag.

So why the shock? Ye Chong was bewildered.

"Oh my lord, so you're actually an expert. I can't believe my eyes would fail me one day." A mocking smile from Kristen, her face cold like the hail. Towards the drastic expression change, Ye Chong was still calm, with the cannon in his grip.

"Fine," she said and gave an unfriendly stare, "Come in." And she led the guests in.

The whole room was filled with different weapons.

"Look, once broken considered sold," said Kristen coldly, which after that she stormed out of the room. She still had works to do on her desk outside, as she put on her blue working uniform and a cap.

Ye Chong was having fun touring the never-before-seen weapons before him, while Ban Meng had nothing else better to do than sitting at his reserved quiet corner.

Ye Chong picked a weapon up and very soon after he placed it back.

After moment, he had a conclusion in his mind. These weapons were all wooden. Though it might sound unimpressive compared to the metallic giants out there, these wooden weapons were not toys. They seemed to be made out of extraordinary woods… which bestowed them excellent physical attributes almost competent as the alloys and they all prominently shared a characteristic - a great compatibility with energy condensation.

So probably that was why these energy firearms were all wooden. And yes, Ye Chong did not miss any weapon. There was in fact no metallic weapon inside the room. Well, it was a little odd, did the place produce no metal at all? He felt like investigating this at some point.

He was presented with an array of energy firearms but Ye Chong had hardly used one before. He did craft it once, Farqua for Mu/Shang was his work, though under Mu/Shang's supervision. That session alone was sufficient to educate him the very basic of energy firearm.

The structure of such weaponry was not complex yet it produced amazing projectile. He was not sure if it was because of the characteristics of these woods, but these firearms did appear to be much smaller than he imagined while they also used a kind of partially opaque crystallization as the energy source. Ye Chong had never seen such crystallization before. Although the energy content was far lower than Teardrops, it was far greater than the batteries used in the armory of ships from both Five Galaxies and He Yue Galaxy.

Such a strange place…
