Chapter 959: The New Saruman Snake
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Imperial Glory battle team – 3 points
Captain: Di Maria
Members: Lu Die, Gu Dongliang, Heracles (Atlantis), Jin Yaoer, Annil
The Imperial Glory battle team had changed to a new captain. Currently, one couldn’t tell what were the strengths behind this strong captain. However, without a doubt, he definitely did not have the same flamboyant issues as Hocatolin. Obviously, everyone had high admiration for her Highness Aina’s decisive decision.
Asura battle team– 1 point
Captain: Marzu
Members: Olivios, Briston, Simba, Beo, Sweeney
Olivios had to right his attitude as the captain. Whether Marzu would ever participate was a problem. Currently, the condition of the Asura battle team was a little not right. They had not displayed their strongest strength.
Dynasty battle team – 3 points
Captain: Lear
Members: Luo Fei (Earth), Peng Wu (Martial Star), Subara (Mayan), Giroud (Mayan), Li Ang (Norton Star).
Lear’s performance and allocation was still astonishing. The strength of the battle team was stable. There was a clear division of labor and everyone knew what they are doing.
Dark Wolves battle team – 1 point
Captain: Sartes (Darkness Empire)
Members: Woolf (Sirius Star), Gulas (Darkness Empire), Sloughberg Bonthe (Darkness Empire), Chevalana (Sirius Star), Zheng Kwang (Sirius Star)
The new captain, Sartes, had extraordinary individual strength. Furthermore, he possessed a group Ability X – Corrosion, that could be used for prolonged periods of time. It was a complicated mental kind of ability and could incessantly disrupt and weaken his opponent. The longer the time, the greater the damages. Exact weaknesses were unknown.
Chevalana was a replenishment from the Sirius Star. Rumor had it that he was supposed to take over the position of the captain from Yang Pan. However, he lost in an internal battle against Sartes. He possessed the ability to enrage the group and increase their strength.
The two of them, together with Sloughberg Bonthe’s Darkness Scream, had many regarding them as invincible in group battles.
Saruman Snake battle team – 0 points
Captain: Wang Zheng
Members: Achilles, Lie Xin, Takumi (Big Bear Star), Zhang Shan (Earth), Oliviola (Arbiter)
There’s no mistake. Although rumor had it that Wang Zheng had completed his mission and was about to return, among the students in the academy, this was their current position. With a superb attacker and an outstanding sniper leaving, the team seemed rather unstable. Olivios’ situation had proven that individual strength might not necessarily bring victory in team battles in the future. It was especially so when one’s Ability X had been seen through by others. The allocation of roles in Saruman Snake had a lot of problems. The roles of Achilles and Lie Xin had overlapped. Zhang Shan... his strength was clearly greater. However, his skill was still not enough for him to be a capable scout. Oliviola’s sniping ability was astonishing but wasn’t compatible with her Ability X. In the intense competition of the Greatest King Competition currently, Saruman Snake seemed to be a little more lacklustre. Hopefully, with the return of Wang Zheng, he would bring something different to the battle team.
Star Lya battle team – 3 points
Captain: Pampas
Members: Edgar (Lya Sphinx), Bier (Lya Sphinx), Ao Ziwei (Gemini Star), Ya Tiannan (Gemini Star), Kexi (Lya Sphinx)
The strength of the Star Lya battle team wasn’t very sufficient. However, the students were willing to place them in this position because they had demonstrated very good team cooperation and had achieved good results. The students of Elite Academy X wouldn’t be so superficial to only look at the surface. They could sense the individual strength within the team, and this was the greatest compliment for Pampas.
Icefire battle team
Captain: Rennes (Hail Cloud Alliance)
Members: Nick (Astina), Snow Li (Hail Cloud Alliance), Emilia (Astina), Lu Hua (Hail Cloud Alliance)
Jian Zihao had left and the new captain, Rennes, had taken over. The Hail Cloud era of the Icefire battle team had begun. After the previous failure, only Snow Li remained in the starting line up among the older members. The rest were all reserves and their strength was unknown. However, it was clear that the rookie recruited by the two supernations wasn’t here to cause a joke. This could be seen from the Dark Woolf team too.
Eagle battle team
Captain: Dendi
Member: Parana (Maacah Republic), Vincent (Manalsuo), Zhao Long, (Maacah Republic), Cooper (Manalasuo)
After falling in the first round, the Eagle battle team had also undergone an overhaul. Dendi’s performance had received recognition and was still appointed as the captain. However, everyone could see that Manalasuo could no longer hold back. The standards of the Greatest King Competition weren’t something that could be managed by a typical country alone. This excluded the Asura team as they were from Arbiter after all. Moreover, even Arbiter was on the verge of not being able to keep up. The name of this team had not changed.
Strength still required real battle to assess.
If the previous stage was for everyone to test the waters, all the countries had started attached higher importance to the second round. This was because it involved the honour of the country. To put it bluntly, it was about face. Although they didn’t really need to be the final champion, they also couldn’t embarrass themselves.
Clearly the testing of water in the first round was over and the decisions to be made had been made. At the second round of battles, it would be the time to see the true strength of each team.
The battle schedule for the second round was out.
Asura vs Star Lya
Imperial Glory vs Eagle
Saruman Snake vs Dark Wolves
Dynasty vs Icefire.
After arriving at Roland Garros, Wang Zheng and Lan Ling separated into two paths. Wang Zheng brought Mu Zhen to Inner Roland. After the trip, Mu Zhen had finally gotten used to spaceships. During the time of the trip, Wang Zheng had given Mu Sen quite a number of lessons. One had to admit that the mixed blood giant could pick up things faster than humans. Wang Zheng would teach something to the giant and the giant would just nod his head. After which, the giant also failed to answer his questions. Someone said that whatever God had given you, God would also take something away. It seemed to be rather reasonable.
Mu Zhen was extremely interested in everything here, and his appearance had also caused a commotion within the Elite Academy.
After all, all the people here were humans. The difference between Mayans, Atlanteans, and humans weren’t that great. The size of this giant was truly rather frightening.
Obviously, everyone was just interested in him because of his size. As for other aspects, they weren’t interested. This was because this was Elite Academy X. Size only meant that it would have a larger appetite.
Although Zhang Shan had been nagging along the way, Wang Zheng still brought Mu Zhen to finish up his enrollment procedures. Moreover, he had to report to Butcher. This time he had brought him quite a bit of trouble.
The runic mech had been transported back, but it was only a pile of junk metal. Oh damn... Would they make him pay for it?
At the thought of this, Wang Zheng still felt a little heart ache. This wasn’t about having money or not. After all, this was the property of the school and had greater significance. For it to be destroyed in just one outing, this... was a little hard for him to explain.
Mu Zhen’s enrollment procedures were rather smooth. Obviously, it wasn’t because of Wang Zheng, but because the Elite Academy had been recruiting more widely recently. Moreover, there were even more recruits from various major empires and republics. Coupled with the fact that Tita Star had just been bullied, Roland Garros hoped to use this incident to display an attitude.
For the victor, there would always be a lot of privileges.
Mu Zhen was calm and composed. Wang Zheng had already told him that there would be many curious people initially. However, it wouldn’t be long before things calmed down. The curiosity of humans came and left quickly.
When he saw Butcher, Butcher was feeling rather good. When he saw Wang Zheng, he couldn’t help but keep shaking his head. “Brat, you could still make it back! Should I be happy about it or should I cry?”
“Butcher, you should definitely be happy. Without me, wouldn’t this world be lacking many interesting things?” laughed Wang Zheng.
“You brat, you can still laugh about it. Not bad, you have become more mature,” said Butcher emotionally. Butcher didn’t ask, but he also knew. From the battle scar on Wang Zheng’s face that hadn’t recovered, he could tell how brutal that war was.
The things that this smile represented were completely different.
“Butcher, that runic mech is destroyed...”
“It’s fine as long as the pilot is fine. You have also just escaped death. I will be responsible for the repairs of the mech. However, if I can’t fix it, you will probably need to make a new contribution for you to have one made again.”
“Haha, I thought that I would be made to pay for it. I’m a poor man.”
Butcher didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You brat, you are always concerned about these small matters. You have killed an Earth-rank assassin that was highly ranked and your ranking has risen to 490. This is also unprecedented in the Elite Academy. As for other matters, the academy side will just overlook it.”
“Hmm, only 490? I remember that the dude I killed was in the top 200,” laughed Wang Zheng.
Butcher stared at him. “You should be content. There are too many external factors in battles. Did you think that advancing would be easy? The speed of your advance has already been unprecedented.” Speaking till here, Butcher also felt proud. After all, he was a professor that had supported Wang Zheng strongly. In the Elite Academy, a professor of his level actually had a very high level of special rights. However, whatever he did would also be watched by many people. Although Wang Zheng, the brat, could really squander his reputation, he could also help him gain respect.
