Chapter 852: Phantom Crown
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The battle was over, and so casually that it gave one goosebumps. The two commentators did not know what to say as well. They could only give Phantom King the praise it deserved. Of course, since they were not human. “Dark Wolves Battle Team should have studied this mech’s capabilities better. They made too many errors of judgment because of the energy body.”
La Tu said. Clearly, he was dissatisfied with the Dark Wolves Battle Team’s performance. It was too careless, and they had taken too much for granted.
The strength of the Battle Team was founded on the individuals’ ability. Just thinking of using his own ability to suppress the opponent, did they think the opponent would not make the first move?
And as for Aslan’s other members, they had not done much, and the battle had ended in such a clunky fashion.
The MVP was undoubtedly Heracles. The rest simply had had to wait until Heracles was done toying with the prey before they swooped in for the kill.
Within Elite Academy, many were not satisfied. Although Phantom King was indeed marvelous, but there was always an explanation behind every miracle, especially for Elite Academy students. Outside of Inner Roland, the other military students were swooning over the Phantom King’s actions. From start to end, all they had seen was Phantom King flying here and there, and then it had ended.
All kinds of oohs and aahs. With the additional sharp blade of Atlantis, the mighty Aslan did not even need to take a hand. How could one fight this?
Who could clash with this lineup?
Incredible offensive power, and at the same time an even flashier position than a scout. Everything seemed to be turned on its head, and they seemed invincible.
But one point was for sure. When the Imperial Glory Battle Team and the Arbiter’s Asura Battle Team met, it would be an explosive match worth waiting for.
The Aslan students naturally celebrated a little, although they were not particularly overjoyed. They saw the win as guaranteed, so they were just letting out some feelings.
Many of the other students were frustrated. The gap between the other strong countries was not huge, with only Arbiter and Aslan always in the lead. It was only at such times that they felt the difference between their abilities.
“Let us interview the MVP of the match, Imperial Glory Battle Team’s Heracles. I have to say, student Heracles is really handsome!” Snow Yue was a little dazzled, but in truth every girl agreed with her words. In terms of a pretty face, Heracles took the cake. Atlanteans’ exquisiteness was indeed without peer. “Student Heracles, what are your thoughts after coming to Elite Academy? Do you like it here?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on this Atlantean. After entering Elite Academy, he had been very low profile. Besides attending class, and hanging out with the Aslan people, he did not do much.
A handsome set of features, sharp ears, and an inhuman gaze filled with an uncommon bloodlust. But in this battle, Heracles had something to say.
“I came here for one person.” Heracles’ tone was even, but the determination in his voice was unmistakable. “I hope we will meet in a battle soon. If I win, please return the name of Phantom King to Atlantis. Wang Zheng, do you accept the challenge.”
Immediately the whole arena was in an uproar... What was going on?
Wang Zheng had dealings with Atlantis in the past? And deeper than it looked? The name of Phantom King?
While on Earth’s Ares College, the students were still mulling over Aslan’s greatness, and Atlantis’ terrifying countenance. In the previous match, although Saruman Snake Battle Team had won, but their win had been pyrrhic. This one had been so effortless that the opponents couldn’t even recognize their mothers.
Both were wins, but the distance seemed obvious. Of course, they were not jealous, but merely acknowledging this greatness. Those Atlanteans were as frightening as devils. They only hoped that Saruman Snake Battle Team would not meet them so fast.
But...
Everyone’s gossiping heart came alive, but Heracles seemed to have no intention of elaborating further.
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. What was this about the name of Phantom King? He only just realized that this Heracles seemed to resemble IG Atlantis Battle Team captain Bordia.
Could it be that a relative came knocking?
Wang Zheng nodded amiably. He could not care less about the name, but to the Atlanteans, they fought for glory.
This was also one of the missions for which Heracles had come to Elite Academy. His younger brother, the genius Bordia, had lost the qualification to become a warrior because of the loss in that match. He must win back the glory!
Phantom King, it would always be Atlantis’ Phantom King.
Many of those who did not know Wang Zheng too well suddenly found that this Saruman Snake Battle Team captain seemed to be very well connected!
At present, the Greatest King competition points leaderboard:
There were no draws, and the other Battle Teams all had 0 points. After the first round of clashes, each of the Battle Teams’ situation was beginning to become clear. Asura Battle Team and Imperial Glory Battle Team showed incomparable dominance. While the other Battle Teams were not bad, but compared to these two Battle Teams as a whole, there was still some difference. But Battle Team battles were not won and lost by a theoretical discussion of ability. Much could change in battle, and this depended on tactics.
Regardless, the first round of the Greatest King battle seemed to have carried the mood of Elite Academy very well. This proactive stimulation seemed to have better than expected results.
Actually, the Elite Academy Professors had realized this point as well. They had inadvertently tied country glory to individual glory. Earth had a saying: Fine clothes were for returning to one’s village in, otherwise one might as well wear them for night travel. This meant that if one wanted to show off, it was best done to those that one cared about. If it wasn’t in front of the family, then it was like wearing it for travel in the night, when nobody could see.
On Earth, Wang Zheng and Lear had created quite a stir, and greatly excited the students from the various great military schools. And the military schools were of course willing to promote it. Of course, the military was also actively promoting. They had acted a little slower. After all, they were worried that the two Battle Teams were only faking it. But both Battle Teams had won. Even if they lost from now on, their ability had already been proved.
A federation’s recovery began first with the elevation of morale.
The council would also give Ares College and Apollo College a congratulatory prize.
If one performed, all kinds of glory would filter down.
“D*mn, this Wang Zheng used to be from the same department as me, he stayed just next door!” A mecha department’s student said. “I even trained with him before.”
“Yeah right, if you really fought with him before, I’m your dad!”
“Number 3, you really got played. With what you have, he would kill you just by farting.”
“D*mn, for real. I’m for real! I was still saying that this guy suddenly disappeared without a trace. Actually he went to such a legendary place!” The guy called number 3’s face was shining. D*mn, to think that he had actually clashed with this guy before.
Xiao Fei had finished watching the competition in the office. She was already thinking of how to lure Wang Zheng back. Once he was on holiday, she must bring him back.
In Elite Academy, after a battle, the victors would naturally celebrate, while those defeated would go back to take a good long look and review.
Saruman Snake Battle Team had made commendable efforts. Ai Xiaolu treated them all generously. The ups of life should be celebrated, and to the fullest.
Wang Zheng had been plied with a lot of alcohol. Vincent and Takumi had actually faced a lot of pressure, especially Vincent. They knew why they stayed and why they persevered, but when the real pressure came, they were not robots. And all this had become apparent through this battle. This victory had been too important. Through this battle, Wang Zheng had made his point to the world that Saruman Snake had its weak points, but could still achieve victory.
Every Battle Team had its weak points. Even a Battle Team as perfect as Arbiter still had its weak points. But these had to be discovered by the opponent, even revealed through the battle, rather than feared.
Wang Zheng was very satisfied to this Battle Team lineup. He was different from Lear. Lear pursued perfection, but he chased an affinity of wills. As for the other problems, they were to be welcomed. Only with weaknesses was there progress. And the confidence built through battle victories was the strongest.
They were not afraid of defeat, of taunts, of being knocked down.
Those that had never fallen might seem strong, but that was only a superficial strength.
Although he had been the first to be targeted, but Zhang Shan was not at all sore. His situation was plain for all to see, and that was all there was to it. Once his weak point had been exposed, the pressure on his mind seemed to ease. All that was left was to find the solution, and how to counter it.
Zhang Shan had this brain, and this ability. But tonight was not the time for all that thinking. It was the time to get very drunk.
Actually, Snow Li’s performance was not too stellar as well. Against Rulf, she had made many mistakes. The main thing was that she had been psychologically intimidated. In terms of switching her mental state like that, she still needed time to mature. At the same time, she had to become colder.
“Brothers, sisters, let us raise a cup to our leader. With him around, we will definitely walk on towards victory. Cheers to Wang Zheng!” Ai Xiaolu raised the cup in her hand, and everyone’s eyes glowed with passion.
Wang Zheng was someone to walk through life with. This was something that had to be drunk to.
Life was just like that. As long as one did not give up, miracles would happen.
Wang Zheng felt very fortunate. He was happy that in all the countless things that had happened in the past, he had never given up, and kept on until he was where he was. He had done so not just because he was strong, but because he had good friends like Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu, Zhang Shan around. Some might say that Wang Zheng did not give up, but he was also genuinely grateful that Zhang Shan had not given up either.
The guys were all rolling drunk, including the usually reserved Achilles. At the start, Achilles had been rather proper, drinking half-heartedly. But he was quickly coaxed in by a group, and caved in. The girls were taking it easy. Ai Xiaolu had drank quite a lot, but her constitution was legendary, and she casually kept pace with the guys.
In Ai Xiaolu’s words, Ai Shi Financial Group’s people had one talent, and that was drinking. Combined with Hail Cloud Alliance people’s natural constitution, it was only too easy to get others drunk.
Milo sent Achilles back. Takumi and Vincent, brothers in hardship, were still reminiscing about the old times. The two guys were hugging each other, at times laughing, at times crying. They were really drunk.
Ai Xiaolu and Snow Li accompanied Wang Zheng back. The great leader naturally had beauties beside him.
