All it took was three minutes and 18seconds!
The whole crowd was dumbfounded. The Eagle battle team wasn’t just an unknown team and was far from being a rookie. Many battle teams had sparred with them and found them to be very resilient. It wouldn’t be easy to defeat them. To have defeated them so quickly was beyond their imagination.
From the start to the end, the Eagle was beaten as though they were just a sparrow.
They had completely fallen into the trap of the Saruman Snake battle team.
Everyone had the feeling of encountering a venomous snake. They might have appeared as weak in front of everyone but once the enemies had entered their attacking range, they immediately revealed their fangs.
Killing without reservations!
Terrifying individual abilities and terrifying cooperation!
Raucous cheers and claps sounded from the spectator seats. This was a dominating match. Saruman Snake battle team had fully utilised psychological and individual abilities. Although one couldn’t say how strong they were as a team, their mobility and ability to target had been done to the fullest.
La Tu had made up his mind. This battle was too unconventional. However, the effects were greater than expected.
A team which had a solid foundation, the Eagle battle team, had surprisingly been countered so well. One could say that for them to be a fully mature team, they had to control the arrogance in their heart.
When you looked down on your opponents, you would have already lost.
That bad premonition that Lear had was once again been proven correct. Achilles, who he had deemed to have completely crushed, had managed to turn the tables around.
In the last match, he also revealed a huge move and was rather surprising. It was a pity that he had lost too pitifully previously and caused his huge moves to looked bad too. However for this match, he had also revealed a huge move. The results were completely the opposite.
A grand victory!
How things could have turned from hell to heaven in an instance!
Achilles could hear the cheers and claps from the whole crowd. His expression was still composed but Achilles could feel that his heart was beating faster. There was a rush of heat towards his brain.
This was the feeling, this was the experience!
He had been waiting for it for a very very long time. Achilles clenched his fist. At this moment, he was surprisingly feeling a little complicated. All along, Wang Zheng was his competitor. He had not expected the one who knew him the best was actually Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng smiled and also heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Achilles was very strong and had an outstanding way of thinking. The failure previously was partly caused by the slack of the team. Another contributing factor was mainly because his members were lacking in abilities and weren’t capable enough to fully execute his strategies.
However, it was different this time. Everyone in Saruman Snake battle team had their own ultimate technique. Moreover, that Bebeto wasn’t Lear. With him not deciding to participate and Achilles being the leader of a defeated side, the other party would naturally belittle them.
The results were just like this. The other party had belittled them more than he had imagined. Seeing Achilles’ expression, Wang Zheng was finally relaxed. What he wanted was not only a victory but also for Achilles to become part of the team and regain his confidence. Now, he had managed to achieve everything.
The members of Manalasuo all had an expression of disbelief. The reserves were also clearly not convinced. They had lost in the most baffling way. They didn’t had the chance to perform at all and were destroyed by the other party’s series of Ability X.
They didn’t even know where they had gone wrong.
Dendi took a deep breath and recovered gradually from the match. He did not belittle the Saruman Snake battle team but was a little worried about the internal situation of the Manalasuo team. That confidence and them looking down on their opponents were truly a little worrying. As the new captain, coupled with the fact that he had left Elite Academy for a period of time, if he wanted to control the team, he would have to understand the team. If he wanted to teach the team a lesson, he would have to employ certain actions. For this match, he had intended to create some difficulty and make the battle team witness this point. He had initially thought that his team could still win but had never expected the team to lose so sensationally.
The truth was that a failure at this stage wouldn’t be entirely a bad thing. This could sound a warning to all the members that any battle team that had qualified wouldn’t be weaklings. If they couldn’t see clearly about their opponents and themselves, the results would be just like this: to be walloped like a stray dog.
Seeing that everyone had pent up frustration, Dendi knew that these members weren’t convinced yet. They might not have even realised why they had lost.
“The best out of three. F*ck them. We have been ambushed by these brats!” Zhou Yu couldn’t hold back and said. He was sliced to death directly by Vincent’s golden wheel three times. What happened to the agreed upon individual duel?
The problem was no one had agreed with him. It was just a one sided wish that Vincent would fight him to determine the winner between them.
Dendi released a serious aura from his whole body and directly stuffed the grievances others might have back inside them.
“If you all still think that you can win the competition easily, I can tell you now that you would lose in a more sorry state than just now.”
Dendi threw out these words coldly and didn’t pay more attention to these people. He had to knock these people awake to establish his awe and prestige while destroying those feelings of superiority the other members had at the same time.
Everyone was stunned on their ground. Dendi had created a lot of records and glory when he was in Manalasuo. Since he had joined the team, he was like an amiable big brother to everyone. For him to suddenly turn so cold, everyone didn’t have the opportunity to react to it.
Dendi walked over without prompts. “Congratulations, Wang Zheng.”
“Senior Dendi, you are too courteous. We were just sparring with each other. Let’s hope that we can meet again in the main competition.” Laughed Wang Zheng.
Dendi looked at Professor La Tu who was not too far away. He seemed to be in deep thoughts. Dendi smiled faintly and replied, “There will definitely be such opportunity. At the same time, it was a good lesson for those arrogant brats.”
“You are being too kind. Thank you for the match.” Wang Zheng also knew that there was a certain level of luck in this match. Big moves might have surprising effects the first time but once it was exposed, the effects wouldn’t be great. What determined the strength of battle team was still their foundation.
“You don’t have to be humble. In this match, from psychology to strategy, it was very successful. Moreover, each member’s individual strength is also very outstanding. I feel assured that Vincent is with your team. However when the main competition arrives, we won’t be courteous. Naturally, we would show you the true strength of the Eagle battle team at that time.”
“It would be the same case for us!”
The two of them shook their hands forcefully.
Dendi brought along the members of the Eagle battle team and left. The rest had nothing much to say. Although they didn’t wish to acknowledge this lost and wasn’t convinced, the results were as such. If they were to continue arguing, they would be the ones embarrassing themselves.
The people of Arbiter had also left. In this match, Dendi’s way of thinking was similar to Olivios’ in the past. For those who were overly arrogant and confident, the effects of a practical battle would be better than telling them about it ten thousand times.
It was just that no one would have expected a mature team to commit such an error. This was enough to show how intense the competition was. Dendi probably would leverage on this experience to calibrate the Eagle battle team. At the same time, it was to establish competition in the team to the maximum with no one knowing if they were the fixed main members of the team. If the team didn’t perform well, especially if that was because of them being careless, they too would be eliminated.
That type of self-entitlement and the desire to bask in the attention of everyone shouldn’t be present.
La Tu was nodding in approval. This was the effects that the Academy wanted to achieve. The platform this time wasn’t for everyone to fool around but for them to really fight it out. If all other aspects were mature, these would become valuable information on battle strategies. Similarly, due to some personal duel incidents some time ago, the Academy also wanted to make use of team battles to let the students understand the importance of teamwork. At the same time, it wouldn’t impede on the development of individual strength.
Suddenly, even La Tu was looking forward a little to what kind of glory these groups of teenagers could achieve. Some things that could not be showcased fully individually might be able to be seen in team battles. This should be the direction the Academy should focus on. Moreover, individuals still played an important role within this. For example, that teenager named Achilles was truly not bad. It was just that he dimmed in comparison to Wang Zheng and Lear, who came from the same place. His gravitational force field restricted the two most important points of the opponent while he was able to withstand the attacks from the two of them. That was rather amazing.
