For the Eagle and Icefire Battle team, this was a battle of redemption, the two worst teams would battle it out and try to redeem themselves. There would still be a winner, so both parties should be prepared.
Dynasty Battle Team and Star Lya Battle Team, were on a more advantageous level, to win or to be defeated would carry less meaning compared to the other two battles. Star Lya Battle Team would try their best to battle out in their style, yet they were up against a tough opponent.
The weaker teams were already seeking out more strategic players, to carry on their losing streak would be an embarrassment on this glorious arena.
Everyone was stunned knowing who Saruman Snake’s opponent was, but they knew that it was going to happen sooner or later. The past victories brought great confidence, and everyone believed that they were the strongest team.
Yet, whoever fighting against Asura Battle team knew that the odds of winning was not in their favour.
Saruman Snake’s team tactics meet.
The main players and substitute players were all gathered, Wang Zheng looked at the crowd and said one sentence, “I want this battle!”
Zhang Shan was stunned, and immediately exuded an enthusiastic stance. “Very good, our captain had issued his command, we will kill the Asura Battle team!”
“Zhang Shan, mind your words, beating Asura Battle team does not depend on just a cheer.” Ai Xiaolu stayed very quiet. As the leader of Saruman Snake, she had started receiving attention. After all, Elite Academy X advocated for the various countries to learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses, through increased collaboration and exchange, unlike Arbiter and Aslan’s behavior. The Academy would promote the Saruman Snake team and Dynasty Battle Team team, but only if their record was good.
“This battle will definitely not be easy, Asura Battle team is strong, Olivios is like a sharp knife, and they have the best historical records amongst all the teams.”
Wang Zheng said. He believed that even in actual combat, the soldiers of Arbiter were not afraid of death. If he were to choose a comrade, he would choose the Arbiters instead of the Aslanians. As for opponents, only a fool would choose to fight against the Arbiters.
Yet, this was exactly what they were going to face.
“Wang Zheng you don’t need to repeat this, everyone knows that, what we want to know is their weakness and our strategy!” Zhang Shan said. In his situation, he was the member who would most likely be targeted by the Arbiters.
“I just said their weakness.” Wang Zheng smiled.
“The Asura Battle team team is not strictly dependent on a single member, but their psychologies of discipline and sacrifice and undoubtedly the leadership of Olivios would be in a certain way, their weakness as well. Or so to speak, their lack of independent thought is their weakness.”
Achilles said. As one of the top notch players, he was fearless and without doubt would be dispatched for the battle against Asura Battle team.
The rest would be selected based on competency and battle tactics.
Both Wang Zheng and Olivios were good at a variety of positions, once a position was chosen, their overall tactics would be completely different. It was really difficult to say who had the upper hand.
If someone was said to be able to individually challenge Olivios, that person was Wang Zheng. So, Saruman Snake could not overly rely on Wang Zheng, as he would be meeting an opponent of his match.
“Olivios and I would be in a free position, this is our long anticipated battle after all.” Wang Zheng smiled. Battles, sometimes relied on avoiding the best warrior, and sometimes relied on psychological advantage. Olivios and him would finally meet in battle, causing a kind of anticipation that no other person would understand.
And… In front of her, Wang Zheng did not want to retreat.
“Wang Zheng, if you need, I can hold Olivios down for a while.” Achilles said. He had calculated, to face Olivios individually, he had at most 30-40% chance. Olivios cultivation of the body was beyond anyone’s imagination, but he would not be able to settle Achilles within a couple of strikes.
“I am just worried that the Arbiters would use the same method to hold down Wang Zheng.” Mi lo said.
Wang Zheng shook his head, “Nope, there would be nowhere to run for me in this battle, whoever retreats would lose their momentum.”
Achilles could understand what Wang Zheng meant. Wang Zheng was the only one qualified enough to say this. For those who had not experienced failure, they would continue building invincible pyramids in their psychological world, building upon the crushed egos of their opponents. There was no turning back. Once you showed fear and retreat, everything would collapse in an instant.
One could lie to others, but there was no point deceiving oneself.
One had to face what they have to face, this was a logic Wang Zheng knew. A logic that Olivios knew.
Since Wang Zheng was so determined, the rest did not interfere. Wang Zheng’s fight with Olivios would be the highlight of the battle. They would establish themselves as Elite Academy X’s next generation of worthy warriors. The question was, who was stronger. Lear had already lost to Olivios. Now was the time to find out who was stronger amongst the two. Zhang Shan and the rest were excited of course, and would not want to pose as a burden to Wang Zheng.
Vincent could not wait as well. He had witnessed the domineering pride of Wang Zheng and Olivios. Unfortunately the powerful Atlanteans were in the way of their battle during the time of IG. At Elite Academy X, Vincent felt that both Wang Zheng and Olivios were much more serious than before, much more powerful than before. They only knew to recharge their energy, store this strength and await a time for their brutal outbreak.
This time, Vincent was no longer a bystander, he was a participant.
Everyone started the discussion on the battle tactics. Wang Zheng’s position was determined. Others were more entangled within. After two rounds of discussions, everyone’s strategy and main Ability X to be used was clear. What one could think of was what the opponents would have taken into account. Wang Zheng had to decide exactly which mech he was going to use.
Amongst them, he could use the Phantom King, the Storm Swordsman, The Overlord, but which one stood first place in his heart. Even Wang Zheng himself did not know the answer to that question. If it was an individual battle with Olivios, things were more straight forward, and perhaps easier, but since it was a group battle, he had to take the rest into consideration.
Similarly, after the announcement, Asura Battle team grew strangely serious.
This was due to the importance of this battle to Olivios. “Cap, we will listen to you, Wang Zheng definitely will not choose the Golden Wheel Battle God, if he chooses the position of the free warrior, you can handle it, we will settle the rest!”
Briston said.
Olivios shook his head slightly. Beo who stood at the side had a dignified expression. “It’s not so simple, if they are considering individual battles, they each have a 50% chance of winning, but since it’s a group battle, there are more factors to account for, the balance can be destroyed easily. We have to be clear about our strategy.”
Beo was Olivios’ most loyal follower. In his heart, Olivios was absolutely invincible, yet he said Olivios only had a 50% chance of winning. The other people wanted to laugh, yet Olivios did not refute it.
The atmosphere grew tense, Olivios looked around, “I hope everyone will put in their best for this battle, don’t look down on Saruman Snake, we do not have any advantages in this battle!”
Olivios said without hesitation.
Outside the window, Marzu quietly watched as his brother commanded, and his mouth finally showed a smile. Seeing Olivios’ attitude, Marzu knew he was prepared. He had always been a bystander. He had even battled it out with Achilles before. Smart and strong, he could feel his own potential. On the Elite Academy X battle arena, it was more like a performance theatre.
Saruman Snake was going to be a huge battle. Their only chance of victory was to get Asura Battle team to be complacent. Now that he knew Olivios and Beo’s stance, it was not a bad thing to awaken the ever victorious Asura Battle team captain sometimes.
The day was finally here, Olivios would evolve further as long as he passed this test. He might even surpass him.
The day was finally here, he was looking forward to it.
The Overlord and the Slayer were not Olivios’ best performing mecha. Just that it had been so long since anyone pushed him to the point of not using these two mecha.
