“Sarabujal, this battle will be a good opportunity to see Wang Zheng’s ability.” Lin Hong smiled slightly.
Bolet rolled his eyes at Lin Hong. “You Aslan people are too sincere.”
Lin Hong was not angry, but kept his smile. “Personally, I’m not biased against Wang Zheng. On the contrary, he used to be a student in the Royal College, and was my student as well. But concerning the Princess, I have no authority. But I don’t think he’s someone who can’t handle himself.”
Bolet had no reply. For someone to elicit such an appraisal from the Aslan Royal College’s head was indeed something. After all, Wang Zheng was the opponent of Aslan’s Royal College, and even an enemy. Not even the head could meddle in what his students wanted to do. Emotions and reality were different. All three present were clear, but Bolet just wanted to purposely put Lin Hong in a tight spot.
Sarabujal nodded seriously.
Seeing Mars, Zhang Zhun also knew that a real opponent had come. This person was Wang Zheng’s greatest enemy at Elite Academy X. In truth, Asura’s chances were 70% in a best of three. After one battle, Saruman Snake would be wasted. Of course, the elimination battle was where one’s skill level could be truly seen. In actual battle, no one would give you a best of three. People did not have three lives.
Wang Zheng shrugged. “You’re here for the show too?”
Mars nodded. “Perhaps I’m taking advantage of your situation, but I don’t have much choice. I lost in the Greatest King Competition, and the pressure on the Iron and Steel College is immense. I have to do something.”
Wang Zheng smiled. “I feel like what you really want is an all-out battle before I am injured.”
Mars started, then barked out a laugh. “Sorry, but that is indeed the case. Even if I hadn’t come, others would. Might as well be me.”
Victory at SIG was, of course, important. Victory could bring many things. But in truth, the Asura battle team did not have many expectations. This was the advantage of the Van family. Obtaining good results was important, but if they could breakthrough and improve their power, then that was even more important than battle results.
Mars chose this time because it was the only time that Wang Zheng would not run and would have to face him with all his strength. He would not even dare to get hurt, because there were many waiting who could injure him.
If Mars was in his shoes, he also would not know how to deal with it. This brought to mind a phrase: femme fatale.
Out of all disasters, he had to get involved with the Aslan princess. In this world, there was not a single imperial family that held such significance. Given Wang Zheng’s status and circumstances, he could not bring anything to the Aslan Empire. Being together with the Princess would not benefit either side.
All the while, Mars had held Wang Zheng in high esteem, but he had found his greatest weakness. Seemed like the hero had stumbled on the girl.
Zhang Zhun was hyped. He would not have believed his luck even in a dream. In truth, he had challenged Wang Zheng filled with conflict. At the end, he had mustered his courage and come with an attitude of learning. But he had gained more than he had imagined, and now he could even watch Mars, possessor of the Heavenly Overlord Attack, challenge Wang Zheng.
At the same time, he really wanted to know if Wang Zheng’s physical techniques were stronger than his Ability X.
One had to know that the Heavenly Overlord Attack was comfortably within the top 10 arts of the Milky Way Alliance, and was the earliest one.
“Zhang Zhun, put a bit more distance between us.” Wang Zheng warmed up his body. “Alright then. It’s been a week, and these guys are cowards. Let’s work up a sweat.”
Mars looked at Wang Zheng. At this time, Wang Zheng seemed different from when he was at Elite Academy X. Perhaps this was Wang Zheng’s other side. Mars did not feel like Wang Zheng was flexing, but instead made his own preparations.
Zhang Zhun did not try to act up. Normally, physical techniques would not result in powerful area of effect attacks, but it was hard to say for these two. In the last week, his wounds had completely recuperated. Due to his excellent mental state, he might even be better off then when he first started.
Mars bowed slightly and then a wave of pressure instantly roiled towards Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng stood still, channeling the Primordial Regression Technique. His entire person was like a boulder in the current. He could feel Mars attacking with both spirit and body. Without question, Mars was top-class in talent, experience, and endurance. This also made his Heavenly Overlord Attack a true master.
He had already pulled back, but Zhang Zhun still could not catch his breath. This was a blow to him. At IG, the gap had not been this big, but SIG tested them in too many ways. And this distance was frightening.
Mars gathered his focus. Wang Zheng was standing easily, but there was not a single weak spot. He tried using his aura to rush the opponent, but it had no effect.
At this time, he was hard pressed to back down. The Heavenly Overlord Attack was about advancing, not retreating. He could only increase the power, aiming to pressure Wang Zheng.
In an aura battle, he had made the first move, which was advantageous. He might not be able to completely suppress the opponent, but he only needed the upper hand to attack. If he could force the opponent to attack, that was also to his advantage. He had given both options A and B, but Wang Zheng chose C. the Heavenly Overlord Attack’s ferocious aura parted around Wang Zheng.
Just a few short minutes after Mars arrived, people had streamed towards them. It was unknown how or what mark was left, but clearly all who came here were capable. When they started battling, six people were already concealed in the forest.
Mars’ expression was not as composed now. He grew graver and graver, because he realized that he had made an error. During their battle at the Greatest King Competition, he had thought that he understood Wang Zheng’s power, including Wang Zheng’s physical technique.
But now in their clash, he realized that the problem was different.
Separated by mecha, there were too many factors affecting the victory, and Ability X was the main factor. Physical technique was a fundamental skill. And now it was different, purely a bodily resistance.
The Heavenly Overlord Attack had gradually climbed to its peak state within Mars’ body. It was now the best time for Mars to attack, but Wang Zheng still stood like an immovable mountain, at ease. As his own aura swelled, Wang Zheng did not counter attack, but continued to maintain a relaxed state. If it were him being suppressed, he would definitely have answered with a savage aura in reply, but Wang Zheng had chosen another approach.
A tooth for a tooth was undoubtedly most straightforward. Such a way of using one’s aura was unheard of.
Wang Zheng’s gaze flicked, and the pressure on Mars increased. That was the position that Mars was about to move to.
The aura reached its peak, and it was the best time to attack. Even though he had not suppressed Wang Zheng, Mars had to act; otherwise, the aura would weaken and his confidence would be shaken.
Logically, he was clear, and he was very experienced. He had to act, but his long experience in fighting life and death battles told him that if he attacked, he would, without a doubt, lose!
Mars… was excited. In terms of Ability X, he was already at the peak. Earth-rank Ability X was divided into five levels. Olivios could be considered to be at the first level, while he and Wang Zheng were probably at the second level. Once you reached Earth rank, the rest was just a matter of time. But his Heavenly Overlord Attack had been stagnating for a period of time. He needed a special opponent!
Looked like he had to get serious now.
Mars’ left fist reached out…
