The reporter’s question was also very interesting, but it was mainly because the difference had been too stark. Ghana and Tiger’s battle had been one of the larger disparities so far.
“This bunch of trash should not have even come,” Forgan spat out aggressively.
International relations?
Sorry, Ghanans were Ghanans. They had never cared, nor was it within their considerations. As long as a Ghanan had the opportunity for revenge, they would take it with no qualms.
At Saruman Snake’s side, Mossi’s leader, Sabi, very boldly put out his pre-battle message – they could defeat the Saruman Snake battle team!
Wang Zheng was not actually going to the toilet this time. If it was Ability X, it could not be untraceable. Who could it be?
His mental energy reached out, and Wang Zheng indeed found a trace.
Because that sliver of feeling was in the toilet.
Fleiz gritted his teeth and swallowed two more. He had to continue his own diarrhea. If Wang Zheng dared to go up, he would see him release his bowels on the battlefield.
His Ability X was reflection. He made a mental rune on his target, and then if he had diarrhea, his target would feel the same. Of course, the effectiveness depended on the target.
Such a mental mark was light. Minds were complex, and emotions were susceptible to change. To the person being targeted, they might merely sneeze suddenly, or shiver. It might be no more serious reaction than this.
This was the drawback of his skill. Of course, he had to suffer as well.
The reflection ability was limited. It did not mean that hacking himself would damage them as well. Firstly, he was not so stupid. Secondly, it would be ineffectual. Only diarrhea seemed to work particularly well.
Wang Zheng’s understanding of mental energy, especially his perception skills, completely outclassed his opponent. This was also an unexpected failure. Who knew that such a strange ability existed in this world?
The Mossi battle team people were really a bunch of fools. He had not planned to participate from the start, but he had been inflicted with diarrhea… All he could do was purge himself.
Fleiz felt a little strange. He had eaten two, and his stomach was already churning furiously. But there seemed to be no feedback?
Unfortunately, this Wang Zheng’s constitution seemed to be prodigious. This was a crucial matter. Fleiz gritted his teeth. If he did not commit, he might not be able to topple him.
Even if he entered the hospital, he would be the team martyr. Others had flashy Ability Xs, but his would never be seen, or it would be useless. He was not convinced, which was why he had begged Leader Sabi this time around. But in his heart, he was clear that if this failed, he would be deemed useless.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the entire bottle of laxatives.
After a few seconds, splat, splat, splat…
Fleiz felt like his own intestines were about to drop out as well, but there was a beatific smile on his face. Even if the opponent was made of steel, he would cave to this one.
But he felt like he could not hold on much longer. He was done for now, he had to make an emergency call.
Damn, he forgot to bring his Skylink. He had orchestrated this beautifully from start to end, and brought nothing, in case others wanted to find clues on his person. After the competition ended, everything would be covered up.
Perfect.
The problem was, now he could hold on no longer, and the door… Why would it not open??
Fleiz panicked, and gave it a violent jerk. The door did not budge, but his legs gave way and he fell to the floor. And then… splat, splat, splat, it all came out.
Student Wang had already finished washing his hands. He was in a clear state of mind, and was about to go see the competition. It felt good, the purge.
But Student Wang had still used quite a lot of time. When he returned to the battle, things were already almost wrapped up.
Wang Zheng not only did not participate, but he had not even been present. Such a blatant “snub” of the opponent. Just when it seemed like the Saruman Snake battle team would fall to their hubris, Achilles brought the Saruman Snake battle team to victory in a manner that was beautiful beyond criticism.
Reviewing footage often made one feel that the opponent was only so-so. Only after facing them for real did they understand the difference.
All five positions had been beaten thoroughly. Saruman Snake’s fight had been smooth, and even easier than their internal practice. They easily thrashed their opponent.
“You’re only here now? Is your stomach better?” Ai Xiaolu asked. “You’re about to be destroyed by word and pen. Everyone says you’re arrogant.”
“That’s libel for sure. I had diarrhea. Isn’t that reasonable?” Wang Zheng was speechless.
“Hehe, who asked you to be popular and incite grudges?” Luo Er said. She had also discovered that teasing Wang Zheng was a very enjoyable pastime.
“When did I invite grudges?”
“Even before the competition, the leader, Sabi, expressed intense dissatisfaction towards you. 1. Condescending. 2. Unworldly. 3. Cavalier.” Ai Xiaolu could not resist adding.
Wang Zheng shrugged irritably. “Well, someone paid attention in vocabulary class.”
The two girls laughed uncontrollably. Wang Zheng was fun to tease. As they chatted, the competition had already come to an end. Perhaps it did not mean much to Wang Zheng, but Takumi, Vincent, and Snow Li had been a little nervous. After all, they did not have much experience in major competitions. These three were classic student soldiers. As for Achilles, he was experienced, and Zhang Shan went without saying – he was not a normal person.
Walking out from the simulation room, Sabi and his team were pale in the face. They had set a new terrifying record.
The opponent’s shields… were undamaged.
They had either dodged or blocked everything.
The moment there was a zero damage record, the system would confer a special prize, a “Perfect” symbol.
The thing was, Sabi had confidently declared the Saruman Snake battle team crushed, and had criticized Wang Zheng from head to toe, because he knew that Wang Zheng could not participate.
He was right about one part, but not the other. Saruman Snake, half-fielded with their reserves, had still shut down their opponent. This was not a battle, this was a stomp.
In truth, besides those who were just here for the show, not many other strong teams were around.
At this level, the real opponents all knew that a puny team like Mossi was of no use, and not worth watching. Anything they saw would be of little value as well.
Sabi led his team away without a backward glance. He did not wish to stay here, afraid that others would mark him. It might even affect his exchange to the Royal College…
Ping…
He had not even finished turning when he collided into a full hug with someone covered in… Was that sh*t?
“Captain, I’ve been set up. My ability was completely useless against him…” This was Fleiz, who had crawled up with much difficulty.
Sabi had already sent a slap flying. “Shut your mouth. What are you talking about?!”
At this moment, they could not escape notice if they wanted to.
“What on earth happened?” Zhang Shan walked over in high spirits. His performance had been not bad. No matter who the opponent, a win from the get go felt good. “Why does this guy look like he fell in a latrine?”
“Not looks like, he did.” Wang Zheng laughed as well. He could not be bothered with how this would be handled, but this incident was indeed a reminder. There were many outsiders at SIG, and dirty hands would definitely be played.
This time around, the opponent was weak, but if his opponent was strong, he would still face interference. Seemed like this had been a good thing.
Wang Zheng’s largess did not mean that Ai Xiaolu would let it go. She was the manager of Saruman Snake, and was present for dealing with matters like this. Sabi, that name indeed sounded like a fool’s.
