This world was simply too big. Therefore, it would not stop spinning just because someone was missing.
Even at Wang Zheng’s level, once he left the Elite Academy, everyone would be mesmerized by a new hero. People like Lear would drop off from the sight of others at an even greater speed. In fact, the discussions about the Dynasty battle team had died down substantially. Basically, no one was paying attention to this once the battle started.
When Wang Zheng wasn’t around, no matter if there were compliments or critiques, at least the general consensus for this team was positive.
As the third round of battles commenced, the strong teams were still strong and the Imperial Glory battle team was going to face the Dark Wolves battle team. Sartes was not going to make the same mistake as before. When facing an opponent that was stronger than oneself, one had to strike first!
This was the cause of the previous defeat that Sartes had concluded. Therefore, he wanted to use the same strategy on the Imperial Glory battle team. He wanted to showcase his domineering aura.
Di Maria was finally going to participate himself. To put it more accurately, this was the strongest lineup for the Imperial Glory battle team and had included Heracles. Overall speaking, the Dark Wolves battle team was indeed like a pack of wolves. The multiple stacking group Ability Xs made this team’s battle prowess in group battles unparalleled. Moreover, they possessed the capability to make the first move.
Obviously, even after considering all these factors, the Imperial Glory battle team still had the opportunity to win. It was just that for Di Maria, he wanted to prove himself; he wasn’t doing this for Aslan.
Once they went on the field, the battle strategy of the Dark Wolves battle team was very clear: to press on as they pushed closer. Even if the opponents were Imperial Glory battle team, there was nothing to be afraid of. The Pack of Wolves strategy was considered to be invincible in team battles. In a head on fight, the Dark Wolves battle team was afraid of no one.
The practicality of Sloughberg’s Darkness Screen ability was terrifying.
Different from the situation in the previous battle, Dark Wolves battle team was the team that pressed ahead. These insane abilities were stacked layers by layers as they charged straight into the formation of the Imperial Glory battle team.
Although Imperial Glory had ample preparations, they still seemed too careless when facing such an attack head on. Other than Heracles’ Phantom King, which could go wherever he wished, all the members, including Di Maria, were drawn into the blow of the attack.
Sartes wouldn’t want to miss such an opportunity. He wanted to finish them off in one breath and not gave his opponents an opportunity to catch their breath.
However, something unexpected happened. Di Maria finally made his move. The captain of the Imperial Glory battle team was going to show the world what real strength was.
Time-related Ability X – Time Reversal!
Although that was what Di Maria had named it, it wasn’t real time reversal in meaning. His ability could fix things at a certain state. For example, he could fix the Dark Wolves battle team at a state before they used their group Ability Xs. In other words, it had the effects of the nullification of Ability Xs.
It was equivalent to turning a pack of raging wolves to a group of teddy dogs spitting their tongues.
Complete destruction! The Imperial Glory battle team finished off the Dark Wolves battle team without effort.
The unlucky Dark Wolves battle team lost once again since the bitter defeat in the previous match. It was just that they had no excuses for their lost this time.
Di Maria only demonstrated part of his strength. It was very clear that this wasn’t the entirety of his Ability X.
Among all the Ability Xs, those that exceeded space-related Ability Xs were only time-related Ability Xs.
This was Di Maria, the captain of Aslan. This was also why Hocatolin didn’t have to feel conflicted about leaving, as he was completely no match for Di Maria.
Aslan’s pride had a basis.
After this match, Di Maria’s popularity completely peaked and exceeded that of Wang Zheng’s, Olivios’, Marzu, and the rest.
No matter how raucous the cheers outside the battle area were, Di Maria only wanted to see the smile of the Princess Highness. However, the Princess only gave a faint smile. This was only a victory of the Imperial Glory battle team, so she wasn’t too emotionally affected.
As the number one princess of Aslan and the future queen, she would have seen everything one might have seen. She would also have seen things that one might not have seen. Despite the strong performance, it still wasn’t enough to touch the soul of Aina.
This was also why some people felt that it was impossible when they learned that Aina had fallen for Wang Zheng.
Since they held hands previously, Aina had been trying to avoid looking Wang Zheng in the eye. It was similar to a kid that had stolen sweets to eat. When Aina could feel Wang Zheng’s gaze at her back, her expression wasn’t as composed anymore.
What is this guy trying to do? Why does he keep staring at me?
Aina also felt a little shy and angry, but there was nothing she could do. His eyes were on her body.
However, Student Aina, don’t you know that everyone is looking at you?
The second match was between Asura and Icefire. The new captain of the Icefire battle team finally erupted. He possessed a mysterious ice frost Ability X. One could neither see nor feel it, but once he entered a certain range, he would feel like there was a time device set on him. The pilot would receive some form of shockwave. The energy shield couldn’t defend against it. The Icefire battle team fought an indirect battle revolving around Rennes’ Ability. Asura clearly wasn’t prepared. No one had expected Rennes to have such an ability, so they were really at a disadvantage this time. The situation at one point was really perilous, but Olivios, with his strong individual ability, together with his resilient teammates, eventually defeated the Icefire battle team. However, this victory could only be considered as a slim victory.
The Icefire battle team finally felt like a team that was on the rise. Snow Li’s performance was very outstanding in this match too as she knocked out Sweeney in a single strike. Snow Li had become calmer and more composed after leaving the Saruman Snake battle team, mastering the essence of a sniper.
The third match was initially a highly anticipated match. However, with Lear and Luo Fei’s absence, the momentum of the Saruman Snake battle team was even more unstoppable. However, Wang Zheng did not participate in this match; he allowed Achilles and Lie Xin to lead. Together with Zhang Shan, Oli, and Takumi, they won the match after an intense battle.
Wang Zheng wasn’t trying to act cool by not participating. The truth was that without him, the Dynasty battle team would still be a tough match for the Saruman Snake battle team. However, Achilles, Zhang Shan, Oli, and Takumi were in very high spirits for some unknown reason. They completely overwhelmed the Dynasty battle team with their momentum. If everyone had only displayed seventy percent of their true strength in the loss in the first match, their performance today could be considered to have exceeded their usual standards. Achilles’ ability to see the big picture, the sharp edge of Lie Xin, the mobility of Zhang Shan, the accurate shots of Oli, and the defence of Takumi were all great in their own aspects. It was a rather perfect victory.
Their chemistry was classic textbook-like and the victory felt extremely satisfying.
As for the Dynasty battle team that was thrashed, they were filled with repression. The two Mayans were clearly very unhappy.
Very unhappy!
The Mayans had come to this place not to be tormented by humans. One could tell their anger just from the color of the light their bodies emitted.
The truth was that Lear had made preparations before he left. Subaru was to be the captain, but he could choose not to participate. In fact, it was fine for just one Mayan to participate. Since they were giving this match away, they might as well do it more thoroughly. However, Subaru still felt that they had the opportunity to win.
The results were as known. They had lost despite him participating.
Ares College had completely boiled over. You guys had always claimed that Saruman Snake got it easy. Our captain didn’t participate either!
Although this victory wasn’t as grand as Aslan’s, it had completely demonstrated the depth of the Saruman Snake battle team. Other than Wang Zheng, the other members all had extremely good battle strength. Wang Zheng was more like the stabilizing figure for the team.
Zhang Shan appeared to be extremely excited. This was because this was the first time he had a slaying kill. “Wang Zheng, do you think Lear would hide and cry in the toilet if he knew that you didn’t participate either?”
