“Is there a scholarship for this?” asked Wang Zheng.

Butcher wiggled his eyebrows and replied, “Nope!”

This brat was a classic example of one leeching from the older generation. Give him an inch and he would take a yard.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. So it was useless after all.

“Have your injuries recovered? If they haven’t, I suggest you take a break. The issues with the Saruman Snake battle team aren’t that important.”

Back to the serious topic on hand, Butcher was still worried about Wang Zheng being young and aggressive and unable to stand the criticism and comments coming from within the Academy.

Wang Zheng smiled faintly. “I have basically recovered entirely.”

“You, don’t try so hard just because you are young. Although the medical facilities here are great and can allow the body to recover, the exhaustion of one’s Yuan Qi cannot be replenished for some time. The graver the injuries, the greater the damage. You will be able to feel it when you are older.”

“Old Bu, rest assured. My body is definitely great,” laughed Wang Zheng. The typical treatment definitely wouldn’t be sufficient. After every serious injury, even if it could be completely treated, one’s strength would also drop a level. It would require some time before recovering from it. However, with the help of the Primordial Regression technique, Wang Zheng’s foundation was still very solid and could really be considered as the never-dying cockroach.

Moreover, practically speaking, Wang Zheng didn’t care at all. He didn’t wish for an eternal life without aging, he hoped for a life that wasn’t in vain.

Wang Zheng had thought also about the incident on Gemini Star. It had been confirmed that there were really traitors among them that had brought part of the experimental results away. After which, those two people had also disappeared mysteriously. Surprisingly, there weren’t any news about it. Clearly, there were some major organisations behind it. Otherwise, it couldn’t be that there was no news after such a long period of time. This incident would be handled by the relevant departments in Gemini Star. There were too many such incidents throughout the entire Milky Way Alliance. For OMG to be able to successfully develop the Box without being faced with espionage, they were truly very lucky.

Obviously, with the official cooperation of OMG with Hail Cloud Alliance and Lya Sphinx currently, there were sharing their technical expertise. It might seem like OMG had been greatly disadvantaged. However, if one looked from another perspective, they had become a single economic entity. For a company, they had also gained from being associated with two entire federations. After all, OMG was able to walk out from the Solar System and Tita Star, taking huge strides towards two other large countries.

Wang Zheng walked out from Butcher’s place and was about to check on the progress of Mu Zhen. Suddenly, a girl jumped out from the roadside.

“Are you Senior Wang Zheng?”

Wang Zheng was taken aback for a moment and nodded his head. “I’m Wang Zheng. Is there any issue?”

“Good afternoon, Senior. I’m a reporter of the Elite Academy portal. I would like to ask you some questions and was wondering if it would be convenient for you?” asked Zhao Yun. Clearly, she wasn’t very certain either. Senior Wang Zheng could also be considered as a legendary character in the Academy.

Wang Zheng smiled and replied, “Zhao Yun, that’s a good name.”

The girl in front of him was clearly not from Earth and clearly did not understand the meaning behind the name “Zhao Yun.”

“I have heard that Senior has just returned from executing a mission. Do you know the current situation of the Saruman Snake battle team?”

Wang Zheng shook his head. “I don’t have any idea yet. Oh, you can just tell me now.”

Zhao Yun was shocked. She had not expected the rumored legendary and domineering Senior Wang Zheng was so approachable.

“Saruman Snake battle team has lost their first match. Everyone very unsatisfied with the performance of the Saruman Snake battle team. The consensus was that they were like a plate of loose sand, that Saruman Snake’s performance in the first round was just a flash and they can’t withstand real challenges.”

Zhao Yun said. She was daring to say anything.

“Oh, so that’s the case.” Wang Zheng nodded his head.

Zhao Yun was stunned... That was all?

“Cough, cough. Senior, do you wish to say something? Saruman Snake battle team is currently ranked at the fifth position. As the only team that won everything in the first round, aren’t you angry about it?” Zhao Yun said with a little tinge of anger.

He took a glance at the uniform. This brat should be a student from the Azure Dragon Region.

Wang Zheng smiled. “Regarding this, it’s alright. It will be fine if we just win all the matches from here onwards.”

Zhao Yun’s jaw dropped. “Senior, what you mean is that as long as you are around, the subsequent matches can all be won?”

Zhao Yun really didn’t want to interpret it in such a way. She didn’t believe that Wang Zheng would give a definite answer too.

However, Wang Zheng nodded his head and replied, “Yep.”

He smiled after completing his words. Leaving the little reporter stunned behind, he left first.

It was useless to make such bold declarations.

In the afternoon, Wang Zheng returned to the battle team to understand the current situation. Although they had lost one match, the atmosphere around the whole battle team was still fine. Moreover, with Wang Zheng back, the real battle had just started. Mu Zhen had indeed attracted the attention of everyone. His huge block truly looked fierce and awesome.

“He can take the role of the tank?” Zhang Shan stroked Mu Zhen’s arm. Those muscles were truly astonishing.

Wang Zheng nodded his head. “I intend to make use of the competition to train his in-battle abilities.”

When he finished his words, everyone felt weird. There was something different about him that they couldn’t tell since he had returned. He seemed amiable, but it felt like he was enlightened.

“Wang Zheng, for the new season, various battle teams have replenished new strength. There are a few teams with major overhauls. Although the newly replenished people are freshmen, their level could be considered the same as real experts in their respective countries. The competition has now become a platform for the younger generation of each country to compete,” said Achilles.

Wang Zheng nodded his head. “I understand. Let me take a look at the videos of the previous round. Our opponent this time is the Dark Wolves battle team, right? Let’s take a look at them first. You guys bring Mu Zhen around to familiarize first. At the same time, you guys can assess his level.”

“Captain, I’m taking the role of the Sniper now,” Oli said with a tinge of fear.

Wang Zheng smiled and replied, “Luckily we have you. You guys can continue. Mu Zhen, everyone here is your senior. You have to be humble in learning.”

“Yes, Ada.” The giant nodded his head honestly. Since arriving here, Mu Zhen was still a little more reserved. He was indeed an atypical giant.

Wang Zheng went to watch the video alone. As for Ai Xiaolu, she would definitely follow Wang Zheng along. Ai Xiaolu still had a lot to say, but now was clearly not the time yet.

“Xiaolu, let’s finish watching this first. We can talk about it at night,” said Wang Zheng.

“I’ve been waiting for this line.” Ai Xiaolu’s senses were sharper. The current Wang Zheng was different from previously, and there was an unexplainable pressure around him.

Wang Zheng didn’t speak again as he watched the videos of the previous matches seriously. If you knew the enemy and knew yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. Despite experiencing the battle on Tita Star, Wang Zheng did not feel that he was at the level where he could roam around without regard. What were different were his beliefs. Even when the match was even, Wang Zheng also had the belief that he would definitely win it. This was a confidence that would triumph over any random factors.

Wang Zheng was watching very seriously and therefore Ai Xiaolu didn’t say a word beside him. She was always able to provide Wang Zheng the information he needed most at the most appropriate time. Wang Zheng didn’t even have to ask for it.

Ai Xiaolu had never done such things in her life. However, being assistant to Wang Zheng seemed so natural and was even joyous. It was especially so when she correctly guessed the information Wang Zheng needed. This gave her an unexplainable satisfaction.

Time passed by like this second by second till Wang Zheng finished watching all the battle videos and read through the information.

Ai Xiaolu couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, “How is it? Are you confident? On a side note, I have asked Luo Er out tonight. She helped greatly this time, so we should thank her for it.”

Wang Zheng nodded his head. “We should thank her. I won’t be courteous with her. As for the matters with the competition, don’t worry, I’m back and everything will be fine.”

It was only a sentence, but Ai Xiaolu felt assured unknowingly.

Outside the place, there was a commotion. Takumi and Mu Zhen were wrestling!

Takumi was convinced. This strength was astonishing. He was rather proud of his own skills, but this couldn’t be compared with the giants at all.

Takumi wasn’t afraid of competition even if he was to take the role of the tank. Their unique points were different. Moreover, it was the same in all the other battle teams now. The main members’ positions would all face competition. If one was afraid of competition, it would be a display of cowardice in itself. Moreover, the current Saruman Snake battle team wasn’t overly staffed but were not strong enough.

After all, they were the champions of the first round. Similar to Imperial Glory and Asura, they had to withstand a large amount of attention and requirements. Once they performed below their standard, the negative criticism they would have to receive would also be overwhelming.

At this moment, the Skylinks of Takumi and the rest were beeping incessantly.

Takumi opened his Skylink after some delay and his ears almost exploded.

“Takumi, this is bad. Your captain wants to make the world his enemies. His coolness and arrogance can’t be matched. Don’t say that you know me if you go out. I’m afraid of getting beaten,” roared Long Ma.

Takumi was stunned. “What’s going on? The captain has just returned.”

“Haha, take a look at the Academy portal yourself. It’s already causing a huge discussion.”

The situations with the rest were similar.

Headlines – I’m back!

“Senior, what you mean is that as long as you are around, the subsequent matches could all be won?”

“Yep.”

It was just a simple sentence. The final conclusion was just that casual “Yep” from Wang Zheng.

At this stage, one could say that even Imperial Glory and Asura had to keep a low profile and be cautious. Yet this person was so domineering and saw all the heroes around as nothing. Instantly, this ignited the entire Academy.
