The victory of Saruman Snake battle team still got the attention of quite a number of people. Although Achilles and Lie Xin did not go to watch, they weren’t surprised at the results. The Fiery Moon battle team was also rather good among the new battle teams. Achilles’ leadership ability with Lie Xin’s highly explosive attacks also made the unique characteristics of this battle team distinct.
Lear got hold of the competition video in the first instance and watched it till the end with Luo Fei. Luo Fei was the main force of the Dynasty battle team now. Initially, everyone didn’t recognize this fatty and had felt that he had gotten to his position by bootlicking. However, since he became famous in the match against the Asura battle team, no one no longer doubted him. There probably wouldn’t be many people who could control Olivios in the entire Elite Academy. With just this, it was sufficient for him to take up a position in the main team
The fatty was looking at the video seriously. It was clear that Snow Li’s strength had leapt into a different level. Every battle team had its own unique characteristics. Some of them would strike first with their scouts while the others might strike with their snipers first. It would have to depend on the style and uniqueness of Ability Xs. As for Saruman Snake battle team, it was clear that the safe and dependable sniper would strike first.
“This first strike was really sharp. It was safe and hard to defend against.” exclaimed Luo Fei.
Lear glanced emotionally at Luo Fei and said, “The key point.”
Luo Fei coughed a few times and replied, “The truth was the Blue Shield battle team had underestimated their opponents before the match. For this type of freezing ice Ability to achieve an instant kill is still very difficult. Nonetheless, it has a certain level of controlling ability. Once one was hit, one would probably be slowed for a few seconds and this is something we have to pay attention to.”
Lear shook his head. “Any mature battle team would be able to achieve control with their first strike. Regardless of which position, it isn’t important. Control and being controlled will happen. The key lies in the style of the team. Whoever strikes first or later wouldn’t decide the victory then. As long as one can control the tempo, victory would be in his hands.”
“Boss is brilliant!” The fatty answered almost instinctively.
“There were many key points in this match. Vincent’s attacks are rather good. His usage of the Golden Wheel is comparable to Wang Zheng. If Wang Zheng had chosen a mech like the Wind God, they should have eliminated Vincent first. It was a pity that Blue Shield battle team still placed too much emphasis on one’s fame.”
Lear said. The pilot was definitely important but the mech was equally important. The attacking abilities of the Wind God and the Golden Wheel weren’t in the same class. If they couldn’t identify this clearly, the responsibilities were definitely on the captain of the Blue Shield battle team.
If Wang Zheng had chosen the Wind God, the emphasis on who to instantly KO would fall on Vincent’s Golden Wheel undoubtedly. Moreover, the pros and cons of the Golden Wheel were very clear. Once they got close up, together with control, it was highly possible to instantly kill it.
At the moment, everything would be under control.
However, the decision for Wang Zheng to give up the attacker position as the captain led him to be very surprised.
As he was different from someone from the grassroots like Wang Zheng, Lear would definitely not do such a thing. Victory was definitely necessary but image and position were also something that couldn’t be touched.
“How’s the situation at Achilles’ and Lie Xin’s side?” asked Lear.
“Lie Xin’s strength has increased tremendously. This might have something to do with Lie Guang’s death. Therefore her battling style has also become rather ruthless. However, the Fiery Moon battle team still has Achilles and Lie Xin as the focus. They were much stronger than the other members and as a team, they would likely not be able to go far.” replied Luo Fei. As ex-teammates, Luo Fei knew very clearly about the strength of Achilles and Lie Xin. From the perspective of strength, these two people were definitely among the top tier in Elite Academy. Frankly speaking, Achilles’ ability to see the big picture wouldn’t be inferior to Lear. It was a pity that a mountain couldn’t accommodate two tigers.
Lear was also helpless. If Achilles and Lie Xin could be used by him, it would be such a wonderful thing. The Dynasty battle team would definitely be able to proceed without obstruction. No matter if it was Arbiter or Aslan, they would just be stepping stones.
He was depending on the two Mayans as attackers now. Frankly speaking, the unique characteristics of the Mayans weren’t sufficient to fully execute his understanding of battle strategies. Peng Wu was truly not bad and he was found by his professor. This person was very low profile but his contribution to team was top notch. He dared to risk his life and fight, calm and decisive, and his personality was relatively more honest at the same time. He was very suitable for Lear’s team.
Peng Wu was from the Hanwu Star, a small and common star. It was also probably because of this that he was rather unknown in the Elite Academy. There was no other way. If someone with similar abilities was in some bigger countries, he would immediately become famous. If he/she was in a small star or if the star was being colonised previously, he wouldn’t be too eye-catching. Nonetheless, this had nothing to do with his strength.
“Is the matters in his home settled?”
“It had been settled. Boss is brilliant and unparalleled to be able to influence even the Hanwu Star. It is too magical.” Luo Fei wasn’t just bootlicking. The Chronos Family’s influence was at most within the Solar System. If it was to really be used, it might only be effective on Earth. Yet, Lear was able to find a solution to the situation at Hanwu star. Luo Fei also had the feeling that the family was unfathomable.
Peng Wu belonged to a normal family on Hanwu Star. Due to his outstanding fighting ability, he had magically obtained such a selection opportunity. However, in this type of poor and deserted star, this wasn’t enough to change the living condition of his family. For the solar system, although its military strength had weaken, as a traditional federation coupled with its long history and special political significant, the Solar System Federation still maintain a relatively good economic level. However, for a star like Hanwu Star, which had just achieved independence a few years ago, the situation was rather typical. Yet, Lear was able to solve the problems of Pengwu’s family. Moreover, it was resolved on the spot.
This was a rather magical thing. If he was to just give Peng Wu money, he wouldn’t have accepted. Everyone had different personalities. If it was given to Luo Fei, Luo Fei would feel that the more it was, the merrier. However, to Peng Wu would see it as a form of insult. However, to arrange well-paid jobs for his family members, like arranging for his brothers to enter the political organisation of Hanwu Star and becoming a public servant, this was simply an unimaginable thing. One should know that in a relatively backward Star like Hanwu Star, public rights and freedom wasn’t as broad.
Initially, Pengwu wasn’t too willing to enter the Dynasty battle team. It was only because of respect for his professors that he agreed. However, in the end, he had truly acknowledged Lear’s strength. As for now, he was completely devoted and loyal to Lear. The letter from his mother to him was to use his life to repay the gratitude of their benefactor.
The reason why Peng Wu had been working so hard and risking his life. It wasn’t for some goals or ambitions. It was just that he hoped to be able to improve his family’s living condition when he returned someday. This was because only he was capable in his family.
And yet everything was resolved now.
This was the way Lear controlled others; personal charisma and getting in the good books of the other party. He didn’t believe that anyone could escape his control.
Since he had this power, he would definitely use it wisely. Although he could only accomplish such a small matter now, there would be a day where he would be in control of everything and returned Earth to its glorious times as the centre of the universe.
Everything was going on smoothly. However, there were times that Lear felt a little baffled. He had given up so much, prepared for so long and had these types of resources to be able to gather so many masters around him. What did Wang Zheng depend on?
Vincent and Takumi were all once his opponents and yet they were his teammates now. This was something that Lear couldn’t understand.
“Boss, our line-up is very strong now. When can we sweep the rest?” Luo Fei knew Lear too well. Once he saw Lear’s expression, he would know what he was thinking in his heart. At this moment, Boss must be feeling an overflowing amount of dominance in his heart. At this moment, he had to play alone. Acting cool would also require someone to assist him.
Lear smiled. “Now is not the time yet. There are still a few teams that I’m not too confident about. The next step for our plan is to poach Lie Xin over and deepen the depth of our bench.”
Luo Fei was breaking out in a sweat. “Boss, this might be too difficult.”
Looking at the useless look of Luo Fei, Lear was full of confidence instead. “A women who has been hurt would actually be very fragile. For the first step, send a challenge to the Fiery Moon battle team! It’s time to decide who would be the victor.”
Luo Fei was taken aback. This was a little too direct and wasn’t in line with Boss’ typical style.
All along, Lear and Achilles had been competing for the No.1 of the Solar System for a long time. It was always Achilles who held a slight advantage. It was at least such a case during the Academy X. However, since the IG stage and with the entrance of Wang Zheng, this competition was only in name and not in substance. However, the feud between Lear and Achilles had not ended after all this time.
Lear was finally going to make his move. Achilles was probably waiting too. There were some things in life that were destined to be settled.
Lear was undoubtedly someone who could bear a lot in silence. When the momentum of Achilles was strong, he had avoided his edge. No matter how Achilles taunted him, he could always put up with it. Obviously, due to the arrogance of the people of the moon, their taunting standards were relatively less potent. Therefore Lear wouldn’t be too embarrassed and had been waiting for an opportunity. From IG till now, Lear had waited for a long period of time. In the end, he had chosen to use team battle to end this destiny. However, Lear knew clearly that no matter if Achilles would cooperate with them, the focus wouldn’t be on Achilles but on Lie Xin. Since Lie Xin was willing to be the vice-captain of the Fiery Moon battle team, there was a possibility that she might come over too.
