While Wang Zheng was fighting for his life, Elite Academy X’s Greatest King competition’s second iteration had begun. When he was around, the Battle Team had been worth watching. While Saruman Snake Battle Team had been the first champion, no one paid them much attention in the new season, even compared to those who had fared poorly before. That was because the other Battle Teams had made great changes and supplemented their strength, and naturally, Aslan and Arbiter, the two empire Battle Teams. Just a small mistake, and a pro like Hocatolin had been abandoned by Aslan. Could it be said that strength was stubbornness?
The first week’s proceedings had begun in a blaze.
Matchup announcements.
Round 1, Dynasty Battle Team vs Eagle Battle Team
Round 2, Star Lya Battle Team vs Icefire Battle Team
Round 3, Asura Battle Team vs Dark Wolves Battle Team
Round 4, Imperial Glory Battle Team vs Saruman Snake Battle Team
Over at Ares College, seeing Saruman Snake Battle Team’s position in the last climatic battle darkened faces. Their opponent was Aslan’s Imperial Glory Battle Team! Wasn’t this… over? Especially since they were currently arguing over at Zeus College…
Would Achilles do… Brother Zheng, where have you gone? When will you return?
But regardless, the eight Battle Teams, beginning from this round, had to put their best foot forward. This was no longer about individual glory and future, but in all aspects, a contest on many levels.
The first round, Dynasty Battle Team against Eagle Battle Team, was already a heated fight. A volcano had exploded. Eagle Battle Team, after being reinforced with Vincent, were raring to go. Against Dynasty Battle Team, which had a lineup centering around the Mayans, they had adopted a fast and frenzied offensive strategy.
Three newcomers had displayed a near-berserk full frontal defense which was considerably powerful. Complemented with Vincent’s Golden Wheel Battle King, Manalasuo’s strong offensive combined with Dendi’s support constitution to rouse the crowd in loud cheers of “Manalasuo!”
But what Dynasty Battle Team had brought was not just madness, but also despair!
Short of Lie Xin, Lear was still extremely calm. He had a brand new newcomer, Li Ang from Norton star, a tank fighter. A newcomer, and a petite one, but he brought forth fear-inducing accolades in a tank. He had a curious forefield, which could render all opponents near him weak. The defense that he made with Peng Wu was dubbed the wall of despair.
“Vincent! Gold Wheel dual wield! Can you break through the demon tank?” Dendi said tersely.
The key in this competition was not the Mayans, and not Lear, but if Vincent and Dendi combined could break through the tank at the critical moment. If Li Ang did not fall, then Manalasuo’s strong offense would never reach the rest of Dynasty Battle Team.
ROAR…
Vincent held nothing back. He was no longer using a fake dual wield, but true dual wield!
In this state, he could only sustain for five seconds at present. But given the Golden Wheel Battle King’s firepower, even a god would be shredded in those five seconds…
But at this moment, a magnetic source flew past! Wind God mech!
Luo Fei suddenly appeared behind Vincent. The little fatty had risked death, and used his crucial weakening power on Vincent…
Exploded. A strong wave, but Vincent had not managed to bring the hurt he should have. Luo Fei had not been able to escape. Dendi had finished him off. But Dynasty Battle Team had responded with a counter, and they could not hold out… Mayans were really too disgusting.
Manalasuo’s teamwork still had some issues. At the crucial moment, nobody had helped Vincent block Luo Fei, and Lear also had an ability to discover potential. Although he had Mayans, he had also been able to uncover the gems among newcomers from the average countries.
In the first match, Dynasty Battle Team had shown their strength and taken the upper hand. Solar System, Earth, Europa, even Dark Night. But the entire Zeus College erupted into cheers.
Senior Lear – Long live!
My great Lear – Unbeatable!
At the same time, the Zeus College students would send an open letter to Ares College students. They wished that Wang Zheng led Saruman Snake Battle Team and would do well, and be undefeated.
This nonsensical message was, in a way, congratulatory, in keeping with Dynasty Battle Team’s win, but this letter was a shameful slap to the face. It was a clear taunt after Saruman Snake Battle Team’s opponent had been decided as Imperial Glory Battle Team.
But they knew that their opponent had no comeback. They could only pray that Achilles could hold off the pressure that Imperial Glory Battle Team would bring. They did not need to think of winning. At best a draw, and at worst, hopefully they would not lose too badly.
In the second round, Icefire Battle Team vs Star Lya Battle Team. This was Jian Zihao’s chance to save himself. It was rumored that Icefire Battle Team already had two lineups. If Jian Zihao could not bring the Battle Team to victory, he would take full responsibility.
As for Star Lya Battle Team, their ability was on par. They had a chance.
Pampas was neither hurried nor slow. Star Lya Battle Team also had some newcomers, but this match was their old lineup, who were especially composed.
Although it was virtually the old lineup, the situation seemed one-sided. The two Battle Teams had seemed evenly matched last season. This season, the unchanged Star Lya Battle Team fought smoothly as a Battle Team, beating out Icefire Battle Team. The newcomer, Snow Li, did not shine, and Icefire Battle Team fell into a slump. Jian Zihao’s last struggle failed, and announced that he would leave Icefire Battle Team after the competition.
Offstage, an Astina youth laughed collectedly. The old were feeble, and the place had to be let.
In the third round, Asura Battle Team vs Dark Wolves Battle Team. On Asura Battle Team’s side, Marzu had still not taken the field. The Battle Team continued to be led by Olivios.
Attention towards this battle rose even before it began. Dark Wolves Battle Team’s new captain, Sartes, was an enigma. There was no intelligence on him.
After the battle began, everything changed. No one would have thought that this would be the result. Dark Wolves Battle Team had fought Asura Battle Team to a draw. This was Olivios’ second “failure.”
Sartes had perished with Olivios. Although he was a newcomer, Sartes had made his name for himself. After their leader had left, and they changed it up. Dark Wolves Battle Team had staked their flag through Asura Battle Team. In the competition, many had felt that Asura Battle Team now lacked something. Almost as if their desire to win had disappeared after their loss to Saruman Snake Battle Team. Olivios was still ferocious, but he could not save the result.
Clearly, they had the ability advantage, but they could not win. This was a blow to all the members of Asura Battle Team. But they could not turn to anger. They had to find their way to victory. At the same time, Olivios had attracted more pressure to himself. As an Arbiter, they wanted victory, not excuses or the process!
The last climactic battle was also very strange. In the first season, the two undefeated Battle Teams had met in the new season.
Imperial Glory Battle Team vs Saruman Snake Battle Team.
Both Battle Teams had changed captains. This was also a strange development, and they felt completely different. On Saruman Snake Battle Team’s side, Achilles was very strong, but honestly, in the galaxy’s standard, he could not fill Wang Zheng’s shoes as captain. On Imperial Glory’s side, Hocatolin, who could have been captain for any Battle Team, had been… fired. This was crazy. How would the new captain fare?
This was something that everyone wanted to know.
But seeing these two equally pretty princesses with entirely different personalities, no one cared about this problem anymore. The two princesses formed a beautiful backdrop, which left the other beauties of Elite Academy X no space to exist. They were too special, too unique. This included Luo Er. Even the chairman’s daughter could not command such attention. Of course, Luo Er had not announced her own status. After all, the council chair’s status was on a different level from the imperial status.
The undefeated Saruman Snake Battle Team, having watched the past three battles, evidently was under enormous pressure. And their opponent was the Imperial Glory Battle Team!
Achilles was now standing at the mouth of the volcano. Could this king, carrying the heavy hopes of the Moon, fill Wang Zheng’s shoes?
This was what the entire Moon’s military schools were watching out for. Without question, this was the time for Achilles to show what he was made of!
Achilles did not think that far. He simply wanted to lead the Battle Team in battle. But people were often tied down. Even his principal and family had sent tactful requests. And Lear. Sometimes he hated Lear’s tricks, but Lear could always say the wrong thing at the right time to leave one bothered.
