Yuan Jing was stunned. “What level exactly is he at? Your usage of spiritual power is the best I have ever seen – even an Earth-rank two can’t be compared to you, but that old man…”
“Even if he is an Earth-rank, I am afraid he is at the peak of Earth-rank. Moreover, on Oracle Star, there is a Heaven-rank expert guarding over it.”
The rest were instantly shocked. This meant that even if the Milky Way Alliance sent reinforcements, they would be useless against a Heaven-rank expert. Any form of struggle would be useless, unless the reinforcements were of the same rank.
The Heaven-rank experts were mostly hidden away, and they were not forces that the Milky Way Alliance could control. They hid themselves in various empires, and in the interest of the various empires, no empire would want to send in their Heaven-rank experts, as they could not afford it.
This was beyond them, and the joy they had from regaining their freedom suddenly vanished.
Xie Yuxin felt that everyone was demoralized, and he smiled wryly. “This is not as serious you think it is. We still have a chance to leave, and there is more than one way, but the last option is our last resort.”
Meng Tian suddenly felt that both Xie Yuxin and Wang Zheng were similar. Regardless of their opponents, and how strong the opponents may be, you would never sense despair or the thought of giving up from them. The only difference would be that Wang Zheng was passionate, while Xie Yuxin was too calm and rational, just like a robot.
In the distant Aslan Empire, the SIG finals that everyone had their eyes on was about to begin. For the finals, more than twenty thousand higher education colleges had the broadcasting rights. If not for the fact that SIG was a special event, there would be even more broadcast channels, and the streaming channels would be countless. If this was an internal match between Aslan Empire and the Arbiter Republic, it would be good enough if they received equivalent to half the attention of this SIG, as this would not be the first time, nor the last. Everyone had heard enough of Aslan, Arbiter, Atlantis, Manalasuo, and the rest. Could no one break through to their level?
Indeed, in the past, no one had managed to. The dark horses failed at the top four, and entering the finals would be impossible. The bigger the event, the more likely this was to be true. For those who made it by chance, they would most likely be annihilated.
However, this time, a super dark horse had emerged, overcoming all obstacles in its path. You have to know, this was not simply due to luck. On the contrary, this was the dark horse with the worst luck in history. Before they could stand proudly on the arena, they had to overcome countless opponents who had the ability to reach the finals.
That was the Saruman Snake battle team!
“Regardless of the final results, the Saruman Snake battle team will become a milestone in SIG’s history!”
“I feel that the Saruman Snake battle team will be able to win. Only winners are able to reach this stage. If they get rid of Aslan, they will be the greatest miracle in all military schools’ 50 years of history. Today, I am on the side of the Earthlings!”
“Wang Zheng’s appearance has awakened the memories I had of my home planet. When I was young, I once went to Earth. It was a beautiful planet. My ancestors were Earthlings, and even though it was many generations ago, when I stepped onto Earth, my heartbeat changed. It was a mysterious feeling. I have always believed that if there were miracles, they must originate from Earth!”
“There is still some time before the match begins. Let us recap the path to the finals for both teams. In comparison, the Sword Shield Rose battle team’s path to the finals was rather smooth sailing, while the Saruman Snake battle team’s path could be described as ‘full of disasters.’ As everyone can see, they have really been down on their luck. Every single battle they had was against a seeded team. Who knows how those people from Aslan arranged it, but all that is no longer important. Now, what everyone can see is that the Saruman Snake battle team is about to stand on the finals stage. For the finals, not in the interest of the Versailles Empire, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope that the the Saruman Snake battle team will emerge victorious!”
The military schools from each country had their own hosts, expressing their own viewpoints and analyses of the match, including comments for every single team member. It may be just a warm up, but in actuality, it represented the thoughts and opinions of most people in the colleges.
As the provider of information, the Aslan Empire had specialized individuals to help tabulate the results. Jondi Lilick and Si Jiali were stunned by the huge amounts of data collected.
With as high as 76% support, the Saruman Snake battle team won over the Sword Shield Rose battle team.
The results favored the Milky Way Alliance. Otherwise, the Aslan Empire would not have done it behind closed doors. They had the confidence as Aslan had always been the most popular country, the sacred land that everyone desired, a heaven for democracy. And as the master of all battles, it represented the dreams of many people. That was the reason why no one hoped that the Aslan Empire battle team would lose.
However, today, the status quo was broken as a new generation of idols emerged, all because of one person, yes, a student named Wang Zheng!
The deeper you dig, the more you research, the existence of this individual provides strength for countless hopeful individuals, regardless of which country, even inside Aslan, especially amongst the common people. Even though Aslan’s nobilities did well, it was undeniable that they enjoyed the best treatment, and what they received was not what common people could compare themselves to. Looking at the Sword Shield Rose battle team, you could tell, as it is made up of only those of nobility and royalty.
If the common people managed to receive the same treatment as them, would they be as strong? This was something no one could tell. However, it was possible. Wang Zheng’s appearance was like throwing a stone into the calm surface of a lake. The sound might quickly fade, but the ripples would continue.
It was clear that an individual’s pride for their country was important. However, judging by the votes from the Aslan Empire, 89% of the voters supported the Sword Shield Rose battle team. This was unprecedented as it was the first time that the votes supporting them did not go past 90%, with a tenth of their students supporting this Earthling called Wang Zheng.
During the semi finals, the arena of the Knights of Light was filled with people, and it was worse for the finals. Some people started camping outside the arena three days ago just to get a better spot, as not everyone could enter the arena, although the outside was decent as well. Even though the number of people was being controlled, there were still over three million people who made it to the arena. The Aslan Empire had to mobilize the military police to maintain public order, and this was the situation with the number of people being kept in check. Some were from the Aslan Empire, while others were fans who came from all over the galaxy.
In the air, dozens of helicopters were patrolling, and at the same time, planes continuously flew past them. There were simply too many people. For them, this was a festival.
The inside of the arena was packed with people. Jondi Lilick and Si Jiali had done quite a few interviews in the past few days, and even had a program specially made for them, as they were the hosts of the competition. For the competitions, Si Jiali had to be on the side of her own country – she was a Sword Shield Rose battle team supporter and Jondi Lilick was clearly a Saruman Snake supporter. As Manalasuo’s captain, it was not the first time he had expressed his intentions to fight together with Wang Zheng, but no one looked down on him for that and instead were impressed by him; even those in Manalasuo were impressed too.
Wang Zheng did not just represent the dreams of an individual, but the countless people who wanted go against the dream monopolized by the Aslan Empire. It could be said that at this moment, they stood together with Wang Zheng and Saruman Snake.
