In just two days, the humans’ super invincible intelligence capability exploded instantly, gathering almost all of the top eight players’ background information. Even if they could not find anything, they could fabricate something. Thus, even Atlas and Locatelli had been given a legendary experience, half-truth, half-false. However, the experiences of the Atlanteans and Mayans may be more legendary than the fabrications.
All the players had arrived at the arena. Aslan was very efficient and methodical. The ability to respond to unexpected situations could fully demonstrate the strength of a country, especially the soft power. Aslan did not take the mechanical path like Arbiter. However, discipline efficiency was achieved through quality training.
Saruman Snake had also begun adaptability training. Everyone could choose a few mecha. The huge mech depository was astonishing. Similarly, Achilles had his own mech depository, but his selection was incomparable to that of Aslan. The styles and models were also the latest. This was the foundation of a country. Aslan had been too rich and affluent all these years.
Kashawen’s tormenting strategy left a better effect for the SIG. From whetting the appetite with pre-selection viewing, to suddenly dampening the spirits by not allowing the viewing of the qualifiers, to suddenly having the opportunity to watch the quarter-finals. All the repressed emotions were suddenly released.
She was praying that Aslan could win the championship. Otherwise, all of this was nothing more than contributing to someone else’s good. However, given the current line-up, there was a great possibility this could happen.
Anyone interested in the SIG had begun to find ways to travel to Aslan. Although not everyone qualified as a student, there were still invitations from the embassies, were there not? This was a political economic qualification.
A celebration of the establishment of a new route was held in the distant Maklou. Although there was support from HU, the route was not as plain sailing, with stubborn resistance from some smaller countries. However, when Mu Sen and Mobo joined forces to support the KO Group, those who resisted collapsed quickly. The simple truth was that whoever was unwilling to do it would be excluded. The route could be detoured. With the main connection point determined, the rest were not as important. Furthermore, this was a mining route. Other than the increase in costs due to the longer time spent in travelling, it would not pose any other inconvenience. This increase in the cost of the route could still be sustainable. But this benefit was not something that the small federations could ignore.
Of course, this was just a business skill. Soon, everyone signed the contract amicably, and the new mining route was finally completed. However, no one expected that Maklou would actually support the KO Group. This was indeed unexpected.
As such, the KO Group won a great victory. As a result, Jasper, Gabre, and Laurel also made a big profit. Jasper had already been identified as the first heir to his family’s business. With his authority, he could mobilize the strength of the Tadinger Group. He had won the approval of the board of directors with his judgment and performance during this period. They also hoped that Jasper can lead the group to a higher level.
Although Gabre was not as fortunate as Jasper, with this performance, he had also won recognition, and qualified as the group’s vice president. This was a sign of taking a big step forward. Laurel’s family was even more powerful. This success was actually more like an icing on the cake, but Laurel herself was unclear – how had it come about?
Tita Star aside, Governor Mu Sen and Yan Xiaosu saw eye to eye. However, Yan Xiaosu and Mobo were clearly meeting for the first time, but the enthusiasm between the two was beyond imagination. These excessive personal feelings were obviously interfering with the usual commercial competition, resulting directly in the exit of the Margate Group. It was simply tragic.
With the general direction set, what remained was to invest and develop. Ye Zisu had already told everyone that Yan Xiaosu was also rather unwilling to stay. The SIG had reached a critical moment, and Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had decided to go to the arena to cheer for Wang Zheng. Given their influence, it was not difficult for them to watch the match live.
“Ah, Brother Yan, are you leaving?” Jasper looked distracted. “Could it be?”
“The boss’ team has advanced to the quarter-finals of the SIG. Zisu and I are going to Aslan,” said Yan Xiaosu. There was no point in hiding from Jasper now.
“Oh, I’ve been too busy all this while. Gabre and I will go too. We could also see the heroic bearing of the boss!” said Jasper. Gabre nodded quickly. The two of them had already admired Wang Zheng from head to toe. Although Yan Xiaosu had not revealed anything, Jasper and Gabre could guess that Wang Zheng had likely shown his true strength. Sure enough, one strike was enough to annihilate his competitors.
These two guys had no clear perception for the SIG, they simply wanted to show their support.
“Brother Yan, who is the boss’ opponent? Defeat them and win the championship!” said Jasper laughingly. He was in a really good mood.
Laurel, who was beside him, coughed dryly. “Saruman Snake’s opponent is Arbiter’s Soulless battle team.”
“Arbiter? Are they very powerful?” asked Jasper distractedly. Although he did not know the team, he knew that the Arbiters were not to be trifled with.
“This is the strongest team in Arbiter. Aragorn is the champion in the younger generation of Arbiter. According to my intelligence, his strength is at least Earth-rank level 3, which is the strength required to win the championship!” said Laurel. It was clear that Laurel had done some homework.
Saruman Snake was in a precarious situation.
Jasper and Gabre looked at Yan Xiaosu. Yan Xiaosu smiled. “Laurel is right. The situation is very bad. The boss’ team is in the lower half. The first opponent in the semi-finals is the Soulless battle team. If they advance to the semi-finals, their opponent will be Atlantis’ Sea Queen battle team. The Atlantean royal family is personally leading the team this season. Apparently, before the competition, they had already demonstrated their strength as the number one team in the SIG.”
Jasper and Gabre looked at each other squarely in the face. Were they… still going?
It did not mean that they did not want to give their support, but if they went despite knowing that they would lose, would it not embarrass Wang Zheng?
Laurel stared at Yan Xiaosu. Why was this fat person so calm and confident?
According to rumours, Wang Zheng and Aslan had a very complicated relationship. But one thing was certain: they were being targeted now. The current match-up was going to completely annihilate the Saruman Snake battle team. Apparently, there was a belief that there was an ability among the people with Ability X to interfere with the drawing, and they were able to do so without anyone’s knowledge. Of course, these were just speculations.
This SIG had attracted myriad attention due to its unprecedented scale and the stimulating, genuine battles. The Aslan people would never allow any slip-up. The finals had to be between the Sword Shield Rose battle team and the Sea Queen battle team. This SIG was a united effort between Aslan and Atlantis to trigger a shockwave that would hit the entire Milky Way Alliance, the strongest coalition of the Milky Way Alliance.
Laurel’s analysis of the situation left Jasper and Gabre even more speechless. Although they did not quite understand, they were not idiots either.
Yan Xiaosu waved his hand and smiled slightly. “Laurel, if you are interested, let’s go together. Regardless of victory or defeat, you will have a different experience.”
Here he goes again. Laurel knew that this would be the expression. This expression again. Although Saruman Snake was affiliated to Elite Academy X, and even though it was a team dominated by people from the Solar System, it was nonetheless very strong. However, if they wanted to win the championship, it was an absolutely a foolish dream. Be it political situation or combat strength, it was utterly impossible for them to advance to the finals.
They were very fortunate to have advanced to the quarter-finals, but she knew that Yan Xiaosu would have confidence. If it was in the past, she would not have believed, but she was not sure about it this time. She felt that her worldview and values had been colliding since she encountered this person. In fact… she had already arranged for the trip to Aslan. This was because she did not believe it, so she had to see it with her own eyes.
