The battle ended, but no one left. Even a powerful person like Jiang Feng did not understand how Wang Zheng had attacked two Earth-rank warriors at the last minute.
This was also normal. Unless one was participating in the battle, they could not understand such details.
Every part of this battle was a clash between mind and strength of the physical body. Just talking about the strength of physical bodies, the Arbiters obviously had the advantage. But talking about mind, the Solar System was better.
It was a little ridiculous to make such a conclusion because everyone knew that people from the Solar System had no minds, no perseverance. They rigidly stuck to protecting their own resources. They did not take risks, did not engage in any dangerous expansion.
However, this battle changed many things.
Of course, everyone’s focus was still on the most important point. What power had Wang Zheng used at the end?
The rotating shovel faced with Marzu’s crazy, continuous attacks was in danger. The main point was that Marzu’s Ability X was to limit all sorts of Ability X. Once he attacked, his opponent was done for. Faced with such an Ability X, almost everyone’s conclusion was to avoid and stall. Very obviously, Marzu’s ability also had its weaknesses – once he activated the ability, it could not be stopped halfway before it ended. And once it ended, Marzu would enter a weakened state.
While imagination was good, based on Marzu’s Heavenly Overlord Arts cultivation techniques, avoiding him was just too difficult.
Yet Wang Zheng at that instant actually took wood, fire, and water, the three elements of Ability X, and combined them without thinking.
This definitely was going against the basic rules of Ability X. And it was only such a power that could kill Marzu with one blow from the shovel. That undefeatable defense of Marzu instantly disintegrated and he was completely unable to defend.
That white light, it was so bright it did not seem to exist in this dimension.
Jiang Feng’s eyes shone. He knew what that was. But such power would definitely not appear on a person with only Earth-rank ability. And it would not happen by chance. But it really did appear.
Jiang Feng even believed that if Wang Zheng tried to repeat it, he could not do it again. But as for such a young person, things that appeared before were very likely to appear again in the future.
Perhaps it was time he should make a bolder decision.
As for what would happen later, Jiang Feng was not too concerned. This was something numerous people from other big military academies focused on.
After all, there were still many powerful people inside. They all knew that Olivios had just entered the Earth-rank. In a situation where his energy level was still relatively good, faced with Wang Zheng, who was tired out from continuous battling, he should have had the absolute advantage.
Even if it was… a flying blade, he should’ve been able to defend easily. Why had he made such a mistake?
The instant a person entered the Earth-rank, his spiritual understanding would raise to a very tranquil level. At that moment, he would be very sensitive to any changes in his surroundings. There was no way he could not react in time.
After the scene played in slow motion for the first time, everyone still did not understand. But people like Dendi, Pampas, and even the proud Sartes, the audience went quiet.
The analysis continued to slow down… that dagger looked like it was thrown out, but it disappeared the instant it left the hand. It was almost like it had teleported, and the next moment, it was already stuck on the head of the Overlord mech.
There was no way at all to react.
What power was this?
Spatial ability or what?
No one knew. The audience instantly burst into discussions. This was the finals, there had to be some explanation. It could not just end unexplained.
Everyone was discussing, but no one knew. Because there were no obvious signs of space disturbance. After all, there were space-related Ability X users present.
While Ka Tao and Xue Yue majored in this, even though they were not experts, they really had understood all sorts of weird abilities. However, they were totally clueless this time. This did not match logic and physics laws.
“Teacher Jiang Feng, you need to give an explanation,” the Five Elements Professor said. This had exceeded the realm of cultivation techniques. It had to be those who were adept in both cultivation techniques and Ability X to understand this.
Jiang Feng hesitated. He also did not know if he should go in depth on this.
“Jiang Feng, you this rascal, why are you so indecisive? Do you know or not? If you don’t know, you can resign now!” Butcher was not going to be polite. Jiang Feng was his student in the past.
Jiang Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded and stood up. Everyone focused on this Mech Department teacher from the Elite Academy.
“Our Elite Academy organized this Greatest King Competition for the purpose of strengthening the real battle experiences of our students. Of course, more importantly, we want to stimulate these geniuses’ potential through competition. Olivios entered the Earth-rank through this battle, and Wang Zheng’s move just now should greatly be a coincidence. Because that does not belong… to a move of the Earth rank.”
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded his head. He did not explain further.
Instantly, the Elite Academy fell silent. Did not belong to the Earth rank?
How was that possible!?
Was it perhaps the legendary Heaven rank???
The so-called Heaven-rank techniques required at least an A-rank Ability X to support. That was a level that even the Elite Academy needed to raise their heads to see and sigh.
And this Wang Zheng had at most a B-rank Ability X.
Jiang Feng did not want to say that, because he very clearly knew that saying so would create great pressure for other people.
The opponent for the next round, the Imperial Glory battle team members, had already lost all blood in their faces. Whether it was a coincidence or not, whether or not he could use it again, this stress had already engulfed all these people. The pride on Di Maria’s face had already disappeared fully.
Coincidence was the realization of talent and potential.
Even Jiang Feng was amazed, not to mention others. And the true meaning behind this attack was even more so not to be understood by outsiders.
This rascal indeed did not leave any chances for others.
“You mean he…” The Five Elements Professor frowned.
Jiang Feng smiled slightly. “It’s not that exaggerated, it looks like it. But based on his current age and level, even if it’s just reaching the edges of that level, it’s still amazing.”
A person who was not acknowledged before had suddenly made such an attack. Other than saying that his potential was too great, what else could be said?
At this moment, Ka Tao’s Skylink rang. It immediately played out the latest test results. “Classmates Zhang Shan and Achilles are out of danger. But the two cannot continue to take part in the later competition.”
Zhang Shan could not use his Ability X for a month. Achilles needed a longer period of time, about two months of recovery. The main part was he definitely could not fight anymore.
The students from Earth and the Moon finally heaved a great sigh of relief. It was good enough that there were no negative after-effects. It was already a miracle to be able to win this round.
As for the fight with Imperial Glory, that was something for the future.
The strong Arbiter Asura battle team had finally fallen in the face of God.
“Your Majesty the Queen, it is as you expected,” Heracles said respectfully. Failure had not much effect on him.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After saying this, Heracles stood up and walked to Aina. “Respected Princess, Her Majesty sends her regards.”
Aina stood and returned the gesture. She smiled. “Please speak.”
“Her Majesty said that she hoped you would make me the team leader for the next battle,” Hercules said.
Di Maria’s facial expression changed. Was this slapping his face? To snatch his team leader position in front of him!
Heracle did not mind. Aina was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, she thought of something. “You can use…”
“Yes, Your Highness. Her Majesty said that the time is right. I’ll give it my all and regain the glory of the Phantom King!”
“As you wish, the Imperial Glory battle team will cooperate fully!” Aina said seriously.
Aina of course knew what Heracles was thinking of using. This was the taboo of Atlanteans. The Atlanteans had never used it publicly. What was the reason for suddenly wanting to use it?
Purely to get back the glorious name of the Phantom King? That did not seem so. The Atlanteans actually did not care about empty titles.
The situation of the Saruman Snake battle team was not good. Their scout and core commander were done for. Wang Zheng, Lie Xin, Mu Zhen, Takumi, Oli. Could such a formation fight the Imperial Glory battle team?
While their morale might be high now, the final battle was in a week. The morale now would quickly calm down. Imperial Glory would also have walked out of their failure because the Asura battle team were not any better than them. Now that they were psychologically pacified, their strength would return.
Of course, the only difficult point was Wang Zheng, except they did not know if Wang Zheng could recover fully in one week.
This time, it was really a big turn of tides. It was unknown how the betting odds were like in the black market, but it was certain that no one would have thought that Saruman Snake could take down the next team, especially since it was Asura.
All these things had nothing to do with Huiyin. The little princess was a little blur; her thoughts had floated elsewhere.
