When student Zhang Shan couldn’t think of a way out, Wang Zheng and the rest had return from the Hail Cloud Alliance with glory. Obviously, the Academy didn’t publicize about the incident too much. It was hard to say if this glory was large or small. Hail Cloud Alliance was at a faraway place after all. In the Academy, the people weren’t paying much attention to the incident. The return of Wang Zheng and the group didn’t cause too huge of a commotion.
Zhang Shan had been waiting in the dormitory since a long time ago. When he saw Wang Zheng returned, he couldn’t wait to complain about his sufferings while crying.
Wang Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He also didn’t have an easy time in his long journey. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to catch his breath. What was this dude trying to do?
However he finally understood in the end. “What you meant was that you were beaten badly by others and you felt it was disgraceful?”
Zhang Shan was taken aback. “About that, it was roughly the same. I know that failures are the stepping stones to success and it isn’t that we didn’t get anything out of it. Look at this!”
Zhang Shan switched on his Skylink and transferred a file to Wang Zheng. The name of the file was ‘stepping stone to success’.
In it were videos and videos of Saruman Snake battle team being thrashed and slaughtered so horribly that one couldn’t bear to watch.
Wang Zheng was watching the video seriously. It was very interesting. It wasn’t that he had not experienced team battles and he even had some insights into it. However, it seemed completely different in this place.
Zhang Shan sat on the sofa with his body opening up wide. “I had at least experienced IG. However it felt just like a small fry in front of a great hero. Did you know that Olivios’ Asura Battle Team had also lost? However, do you want to guess who won against him?”
Wang Zheng was looking at the video when he was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhang Shan’s jealous look, he couldn’t hold back and laughed,” it couldn’t be Lear’s team right!”
“It IS that brat! There were really no reasons that d*mned brat could win! However, Olivios was also too brash and didn’t have much leadership abilities. He went against 5 at the same time! The opponents weren’t pigs. However, this made it easy for Lear. This brat has become the most famous person in recent times.” Zhang Shan was feeling so bottled up. He had always thought that a hypocritical guy like Lear would be bound to be thrashed. However after taking some insults, he immediately started acting hypocritically.
Wang Zheng saw the video of that battle. He knew about Olivios’ strength. If one was to say that Olivios didn’t have the brains, Wang Zheng wouldn’t truly believe it.
However after seeing the whole battle process, Wang Zheng had truly become silent.
Seeing the serious looks on Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan kept his disrespectful expression. He rarely saw Wang Zheng being so stern. “Cough, cough. Wang Zheng, Lear that brat isn’t that strong right?”
Wang Zheng shook his head. “Olivios had done it on purpose.”
“What was on purpose?” Zhang Shan thought it was outrageous. “You meant he had lost on purpose?”
“It wasn’t that case. Was Lear going around these days to train his battle team?”
“Yeah. Only his Dynasty battle team and our Saruman Snake battle team has the most number of fights. However, he was mainly fighting internally. There would be professors coming over from time to time to give their guidance. It seems that a lot of people are holding him in high esteem. This is probably the reason why Olivios had looked for him.”
“Olivios wanted to use the Dynasty battle team as training for his battle team. The people of Arbiter are too arrogant and overconfident. Can’t you tell that they didn’t employ any so-called collaboration and only seemed to be working together. They were fighting for themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be decapitated by the Dynasty battle team. Obviously, Olivios probably felt a little surprise too. He probably didn’t think that Lear could calculate his attacks so precisely.”
In the video, Olivios’ Overlord couldn’t hold on. Only Olivios could have lasted so long. If it was another person, he/she would be killed within a second. Olivios managed to last for a while before being eliminated. Before he was eliminated, he was able to bring Luo Fei down with him.
But the truth was Lear’s side was completely dominating in the strategic aspect. They were able to demonstrate their true strength while the Arbiter’s side was placed at a huge disadvantage.
“It should be the case. When it comes to team battles, Aslan is the front runner. Arbiter mainly depends on individual strength and strict discipline. It is just that times have changed. Olivios is thinking of change.” said Zhang Shan as he felt much comfortable in his heart now.
Olivios’ match was a failure and had completely destroyed the fantasies of the people of Arbiter. If this was his intention, his goal would have been achieved. This was a textbook-like classic battle.
Wang Zheng saw the video of the competition. Whoever wished to win the competition would have to be in control and control the tempo. Those strong teams almost certainly shared a common unique characteristic. That would be first class control over their ability X. The scout’s Ability X could all achieve instantaneous suppression so as to match and facilitate the concentrated fire of the team.
One had to admit that Zhang Shan’s videos were great. Although he kept seeing the fall of the members of the Saruman Snake team one after another, it had also revealed the problem.
“Was Vincent alright?”
“He’s still okay. The failures at the start were hard for him to accept but it got better towards the end. As for being thick-skin, it has to be trained.”
Zhang Shan wasn’t afraid of losing. His path to where he was now had been full of bumps and obstacles and wasn’t easy at all. Failings were common to him. The key was to find the problem from his failures.
Wang Zheng nodded. “This is pretty good too. If he doesn’t experienced failures, he wouldn’t become stronger. The truth is that our lineup is still pretty good.”
“It is a pity that we are lacking someone who can control the battlefield. Luo Fei that little fatty could actually suppress Olivios! That match had also made him famous. The other famous battle teams were also the same and could always get the first hand.”
Wang Zheng smiled and said, “Who said we didn’t have a controller?”
Zhang Shan was stunned. “Don’t count on me. With my Ability, getting the first hand would definitely not be a problem. However if I rushed in, I would just be feeding them and can’t suppress them at all.”
Zhang Shan knew that this wasn’t the time to act like he could. Because of the prevalence of team battles recently, this had allowed those who weren’t that famous previously to be well-known suddenly. In fact, there were quite a number of people in Elite Academy who weren’t too interested in the previous Elite Competition. The feeling they got was that it was just a battle that promoted the brainless use of brute strength and was lacking in technical content. However, team battles were completely different. Individual strength, team cooperation, improvisation on the spot and leadership capabilities would all be assessed and formed part of a top tier comprehensive assessment. Moreover, students that had gone through it would also have the strongest ability to adapt when they enter the military.
This dude… Wang Zheng almost fainted too. “I know. Let me be the scout and control.”
Zhang Shan was stunned. “This won’t work. You are our main attacker!”
In the team battle, the responsibilities of the scout were greater. At the same time, it had to make sacrifices and give up a better attacking position to others. In simple words, it would only be second to the heavy-armoured tank position as cannon fodder. Wang Zheng was the captain. Which captain would become the scout? If others were to know about it, they would become a joke.
Wang Zheng smiled. “Vincent’s attacks would be sufficient. This brat’s use of the Golden Wheel is close to my level now.”
“That wouldn’t be okay too. You are the captain!” Zhang Shan’s head was shaking like a rattle.
“You brat, am I the captain or are you? This thing is settled.”
“But your Ability X doesn’t seem to include things that can control the battlefield. Wang Zheng, I’m not saying you can’t. I have been painstakingly researching this recently. This so-called team battle is all about allocation. You might be able to depend on your strength to destroy one mech of the other party directly. However, it is also easy for you to be under concentrated fire. You might not know about this but I had been hit with 3 different kinds of Abilities X at the same time. I was killed instantly. I totally had no way of withstanding these attacks.”
Mental strength could resist Ability X but attacks were always easier than defending. If it was only one type, one could still barely withstand it. Once the attacks were to combine, he could only be waiting for his own death to befall them.
Therefore when a scout initiated an attack, he had to mainly utilize his abilities to control the other party while the rest would follow up. This was co-operation. At the same time, the scout had to retreat or roam around. If he wanted to attack rampantly and the other party was able to last for a while, it would be equivalent to sending food to the mouth of tigers and wolves.
Elite Academy wasn’t the same as those primary school students from IG.
“I know. Who said that I couldn’t use any controlling abilities?” replied Wang Zheng with a smile.
“Zhang Shan was stunned for a while. “Chey. I knew about all your capabilities. Could it be…”
“Hail Cloud Alliance was a great place. Therefore I had some enlightenment.” laughed Wang Zheng. In fact, at his realm, the so-called control wouldn’t be a problem. The Ice Ability could control and so could the Wind Ability. It would only depend on how he used them.
“D*mn, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I could no longer hold back. We would get back at those sissies and those that looked down on the Saruman Snake Team!”
Zhang Shan bounced up directly in an imposing manner similar to someone with a huge empire.
Wang Zheng was taken aback. He pointed to Zhang Shan and Zhang Shan was stunned slightly. What’s the matter? Don’t you think my current looks are imposing?”
“You are stepping on my sofa…”
Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan had similar views when looking at a problem. The two of them started researching about the video as they drank coffee. Wang Zheng was also interested in researching. In their core, the two of them depended on their brains in things they did. The key was that they could let go of their status and never feel that they were number one of the world. People like Lear were those that Zhang Shan hated to the core. However, if the other party had interesting points, he also wanted to research it. This was what they called knowing your enemies and you would never lose again.
The two of them were having a heated discussion when the door opened with a bang.
The two of them were stunned and could only see Lin Huiyin rushed in. After not seeing for such a long time, the little princess seemed to have grown taller and more beautiful. Why did she starting to look more and more like Aina?
It was just that Lin Huiyin’s expression wasn’t as amiable.
“Wang Zheng, I hate you!”
After completing her sentence, she stamped her feet angrily and ran away without leaving any trails.
Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were dumbfounded. Zhang Shan’s gaze wasn’t too friendly.
“Wang Zheng, weren’t we closer than even real brothers. Could it be that you have taken advantage of the younger sister after getting your hands on the older sister?”
