This type of situation had caused those who cared about Saruman Snake battle team to feel heartbroken. As for those who were hoping for them to fail, they must’ve been feeling exceptionally happy.

The second round of the Greatest King Competition had started on schedule and wouldn’t be changed because of some unforeseen events.

Moreover, practically speaking, Saruman Snake wasn’t the focus. What everyone had their attention on was still Imperial Glory, Asura, and other battle teams that had a real chance of winning. Other than that, it would be an upcoming team that had performed consistently with unique characteristics, like the Dynasty battle team.

The Greatest King Competition had attracted tons of attention now and was similar to a festival of the Elite Academy. Mixed within it was a high above others superiority complex. In the past, the Elite Academy was a “hidden” semi-secretive existence. However, it could now face the entire world. Basically, the students who had the qualifications to enroll into Elite Academy X would suddenly become different. You would have the feeling that those who were once your friends and close ones suddenly felt high and unreachable.

After all, mankind was currently in a non-battle state. Some regional wars and wars between special forces still seemed too foreign to the majority of military school students. It could already be considered as great if one could have some practical battle experience. In fact, even the brutal IG examination couldn’t be considered as a war. That was because all those had rules. As for the Greatest King Competition, it represented a very high standard within the boundary of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The number one Asura battle team vs Star Lya battle team. The line-up of these two teams didn’t undergo many changes. Just as everyone had expected, Marzu was still a spectator. The draw in the first round didn’t bring too much pressure on Asura battle team. Once the battle had started, an overwhelming suppression had occurred. Considering all the factors, Pampas’ commands were still commendable. Despite knowing that the people of Arbiter had rich battle experience, Pampas had still chosen the city battle. However, his team still collapsed in the face of the steady and strong suppression from the Asura battle team.

In this match, Asura didn’t win it easily. However, it was very stable. Everyone could clearly see that Asura battle team’s strength was a class higher. There’s a saying on Earth that went: if one was strong enough, he could easily beat 10 people who knew martial arts. When the difference in strength was too great, the role of strategy would seem a little too pale. Obviously, till today, the Greatest King Competition wouldn’t just be looking at the wins and losses. Teams that could demonstrate outstanding strategies could still earn praise and applause.

Star Lya battle team demonstrated very high levels of teamwork. Obviously, the team quality and teamwork of the Asura battle team was also very high.

Frankly speaking, strength was still the hard truth in this word. Intelligence was more of a coincidence factor. Moreover, one just couldn’t really say that Olivios was a dummy.

After winning, the members of the Asura battle team weren’t that happy either. The difference in strength was clear from the start. Moreover, they also had areas that they could learn from Star Lya battle team. It was especially so for Olivios.

Considering that his strong prowess had come from the strength of his body, he would need to make a change and use an open mind to learn how to raise his leadership ability instead of focusing on himself and discipline.

What was there other than individuality and discipline?

Olivios really wasn’t very sure.

The second match was between Imperial Glory battle team and Eagle battle team. The changes to the Eagle battle team were bigger. With the addition of Maacah Republic, it had also reinforced the strength of this team. However, once the Imperial Glory battle team came on to the field, they still received overwhelming cheers. The popularity of Aslan couldn’t be matched by anyone.

The one leading this match wasn’t the new captain Di Maria. He was just an onlooker for this battle, and Heracles, the Atlantean, would be leading the team.

This match was very intense. The new Eagle battle team demonstrated very strong battle power. It was especially so from the new recruits as they demonstrated extraordinary battles. Parana from Maacah possessed the rare dual elemental attribute Ability X of Metal and Earth. With him in the heavy mech tank position, it was as solid as a monolith. From the fierce and brutal style of fighting of the scout, Zhao Long, one could tell that he possessed astonishing physical ability. At one point, he even forced Jin Yaoer to retreat constantly in battle. However, he lacked experience in major battles and was too keen to perform. The turning point of the battle was when Heracles pushed ahead. Vincent was clearly the target. Dendi had expected this, and with his ability, he was able to come and reinforce on time. However, Heracles still blasted Vincent to death in front of him and then left slowly and proudly.

This was the unmatched steadiness of individual strength that described the Atlantean that came and left as he wished.

The Imperial Glory battle team clinched all three points. The good-looking Imperial Glory battle team were also constantly accumulating supporters and were ranked highly among the eight main battle teams.

After a half-time break, the final two matches would be following.

Everyone was also commenting and discussing. Various major battle teams were doing their adjustments. However, the strong teams were still strong and didn’t make many changes. Saruman Snake battle team was up next.

However, the line-up of Saruman Snake battle team shocked everyone.

Wang Zheng, Mu Zhen, Zhang Shan, Oliviola, and Takumi...

What the hell was this?

For the new season, who didn’t know that Saruman Snake would be entirely reliant on the trident of the Solar System: Wang Zheng, Lie Xin and Achilles???

Two of them had withdrawn because of injuries.

The entire Elite Academy was mourning. Many of them had already waited for a week just for Wang Zheng to be back. They already had a bellyful of repressed grievances. Great, Wang Zheng was back, but Lie Xin and Achilles had withdrawn because of injuries.

Their opponents were still the battle team with a fierce and brutal momentum, the Dark Wolves battle team.

However, for a match like this, there weren’t any empty seats at all. Various major battle teams were all here, no matter if they had lost or won previously.

Before the match, everyone within and outside of the Academy was looking down on the Saruman Snake battle team in different ways. However, when it was time for the Saruman Snake battle team to go on stage, everyone was present despite the negativity.

The Dark Wolves battle team and Saruman Snake battle team had entered the preparation phase.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the captain named Wang Zheng.

“Seeing that Wang Zheng’s expression is so relaxed, it seems that the doubts over this period of time didn’t bring him much stress,” remarked Xue Yue. She had always been a supporter of those champions’ factions and supported those traditional powerhouses.

“Although they are facing internal and external troubles, the calmness of Wang Zheng alone is deserving of a ‘like,’” said Ka Tao. Ka Tao was from the battle strategy department and had always supported outstanding strategies and leadership. Therefore, he was the greatest fan of Pampas and was also the most die hard supporter. Saruman Snake was second. Personally, he felt that Wang Zheng also possessed leadership attributes. It was just that this was hidden because of his overwhelming individual battle prowess.

However, practically speaking, such strength didn’t have the kind of advantage one might imagine. In front of the full strength of Asura and Imperial Glory, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. If Saruman Snake were to face these two teams again, whether it was Asura or Imperial Glory, they would probably go all-out. Obviously, the conditional precedent was that Saruman Snake battle team was deserving of them doing so.

Sartes had also brought his members alone to get ready.

The three dark musketeers formed by Sartes, Sloughberg, and Chevalana were indeed terrifying to the point of hateful. This was also the reason why they had forced a draw with the Asura battle team. Sartes’ group Corrosion had obvious suppressive effects on individual body and Ability X. Together with Sloughberg’s Darkness Curtain and Chevalana’s group Enrage, even Asura had chosen to fight in individual lanes and avoided a head-on battle. This was also where the momentum of Dark Wolves was building up. No matter who they were, they had to retreat and avoid them when facing them head-on.

How could a dysfunctional line-up from Saruman Snake fight against them?

Zhang Shan could probably only run. As for Oliviola... this sniper wouldn’t change the bigger situation. Takumi didn’t seem to have any advantage against Woolf either.

Mu Zhen... Giant?

When Mu Zhen stepped up, he attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone was also commenting and discussing. The scene was very lively. Tita giant!

However, their gazes were completely the kind that were looking at animals. What huge stature! He should be really strong. Mu Zhen was using the Giant mech. However, the Giant mech wouldn’t attract too much awe. For mecha, it wasn’t necessarily the bigger the better. Even kids wouldn’t have such thinking.

“It’s really beyond hope. The giant and the kid are also going to participate. What happened to that Saruman Snake battle team of the past?”

“Who knows? Wang Zheng himself isn’t careful either. I feel that this guy is too arrogant and believes that he is unparalleled in this world.”

“Haha, I feel that this battle team should be named the Zoological battle team.”

One had to admit that the current situation for the Saruman Snake battle team wasn’t too great. They were attracting too much attention. Wang Zheng wasn’t like Lear, who spent time to plan for his actions. It was still fine if Wang Zheng was on a roll. However, once his momentum was clearly at a disadvantage, there wasn’t a lack of people who would kick them when they were down.

In the first row, all the experts of Elite Academy had arrived. Even Jian Zihao was here.

Luo Er was sitting together with Snow Li. Since they had decided to “be together,” Luo Er wanted to know badly what Wang Zheng would do under such circumstances and whether he was as outstanding as she had imagined.

The Imperial Glory battle team was chatting and smiling. Di Maria and Heracles were chatting over something that others didn’t know. However, it looked like Heracles seemed very much at ease.

Huiyin’s seat was empty. Aina also didn’t know why this brat would say she wasn’t feeling well and not come.

Although it was Dynasty’s match after this match ended, Lear was leisurely admiring his piece of work.

For this match, Wang Zheng, just how were you going to solve it!?
