Elite Academy.

Huiyin was as happy as a bird. Since hearing the news from Ai Xiaolu that w.a.n.g Zheng was fine, she was acting like she had won the battle herself. Although she felt this wasn’t very appropriate, as it was her mother who had failed after all, she still couldn’t contain her happiness. This was despite the fact that it was her biological mother and not her step mother.

Aina, on the other hand, was mature and composed. She was very objective in viewing failure. Although Aina wasn’t very agreeable to Kashawen’s strategy, she couldn’t interfere. This was because it was during the reign of Kashawen. During Kashawen’s time, Aslan’s style inclined towards a tougher stance. Moreover, it was also because of this that the Aslan Empire was able to consolidate its position so quickly. Every country had their own style. It didn’t matter if it was Aslan, Arbiter, Hail Cloud Alliance, or others. It was even so for the Solar System.

Everyone chased after their own vested interests and flocked to them enthusiastically. It was applicable to humans and even to countries. Aina wasn’t that immature and neither was Huiyin. However, if she was the one ruling, she hoped to change that way of thinking. Kashawen believed that if they couldn’t control the resources, the Monarchy system of Aslan couldn’t be maintained. However, Aina questioned, just why did they still have to maintain such an archaic way of governance?

Once one insisted to a certain degree, it would be equivalent to obsession. However, without a doubt, every single person in the Aslan royal family saw the honour of the royal family as something more important than their lives.

If it was her reign, what would it be like?

Aina still couldn’t clearly identify. No one in this world could tell her. She couldn’t be naïve nor two-faced. Being the queen was probably not so easy.

On the way back, Aina saw her cute sister and couldn’t help but ask, “Huiyin, ah, are you really that happy?”

If Aunt were to see this, she would probably be really p.i.s.sed off.

Truthfully speaking, she had never really seen the Premier lose herself. No matter what she encountered, she was always that calm and cold.

Huiyin smiled and replied, “Don’t ever tell my mom about it.”

Aina smiled. This incident definitely had some impact within the school. However, Elite Academy wasn’t like any typical small place. The scope of vision of the people here had all reached a certain standard. Politics were merciless. However, t.i.ta Star had likely benefited from this. This was because after experiencing such a war, t.i.ta Star had finally be able to walk to the front of the Milky Way Alliance stage. Moreover, through the baptism of this war, t.i.ta Star was not only able to build a better regular army with stronger fighting strength, it could even further solve the problem of a s.p.a.ce fleet.

Without experiencing rain and wind, how could one see a rainbow? If one wanted freedom and pride, one would naturally have to make sacrifices.

As for the sayings of G.o.ds, no one believed it. It was just a very common religious delusion. It was indeed rather effective when used on the primitive people. However, it wasn’t useful at all to other countries. They were all very ‘rational’ and had cla.s.sified this as a form of strategy readily.

The attention of the students of Elite Academy X wouldn’t be on a regional friction but on the Greatest King Compet.i.tion.

The compet.i.tion had entered the second round. The importance of battle intelligence and commanding capabilities had become more and more prominent. This was the Elite Academy. It was nurturing leaders and not simply super warriors. Compared to strong battle prowess, the Milky Way Military College was more willing to nurture a star general. It was easy to obtain an army of a thousand men, but getting a capable general was much more difficult.

Once the second round started, Pampas and Lear had obtained the largest additional credit. Although these two teams might not be the strongest, everyone, from mentors to students, all had high regards for these two people.

Elite Academy had too many strong students with exceptional talents. No matter what age one was in, there wasn’t a lack of geniuses. There were some whose abilities had even reached a stage where it felt impossible and unbelievable. However, these people had never once stood at the peak.

Obviously, there were people who talked about the two legends in the history of mankind. However, those were merely legends. Moreover, what was strange about both legends were that they both came from a huge catastrophe that almost brought about the extinction of mankind.

The strength of Olivios and many others was great beyond doubts. However, their strength was greater than their intelligence. As for Pampas and Lear, their intelligence was greater than their strength.

The unique characteristic of Pampas was his observational ability for the big picture. His way of thinking was also very different from a typical person. One could say that this was what a leader should possess.

Lear’s unique characteristic was in his ability to plan. He could make great member allocation. At the same time, everyone could perform well in their position. It was especially so as Lear possessed the “gra.s.sroots” factor and didn’t have a very strong background. Yet he could reach so far. This was also why many were convinced about him. Moreover, as a captain, one could either be cold, arrogant, or n.o.ble. Only Lear was amiable. This person was even very happy to help others.

The performance of the Dynasty Battle Team was also very good. Although they weren’t the strongest, they had always been on the first ladder of teams.

Obviously at this point, one had to talk about another person. A rather magical captain, w.a.n.g Zheng.

As the champion of the first stage, coupled with the fact that he was also a champion in the individual compet.i.tion, this had undoubtedly been magical.

His individual strength was great and he was even slightly stronger than Olivios. However, the feeling that w.a.n.g Zheng and Saruman Snake Battle Team had given others was that they weren’t that stable.

Just like his battles, there were too many uncertain factors, uncertain members, and uncertain line-ups. Moreover, w.a.n.g Zheng himself wasn’t very predictable either. He had disappeared from time to time, and this wasn’t something good for the stability of a team.

Moreover, based on the current situation, the Greatest King compet.i.tion had become the most important compet.i.tion for the students in Elite Academy X. This wasn’t simply for raising one’s ability but an important stage for one to showcase themselves to the Milky Way Alliance. It might not be observable now, but once they graduated, these experiences might greatly affect the starting point of their future.

A good start was equivalent to having won half the battle. This was something that everyone knew.

However, w.a.n.g Zheng didn’t seem to think so and had left “easily” to complete what he saw as important. This had led to the collapse of the Saruman Snake Battle Team.

As the captain, this was irresponsible to his teammates.

One should know that no one cared about what he was actually doing or how important the task was. People only focused on what was in front of them.

Don’t hold a grudge about it nor feel unfair over it. This was the truth. This was fairness. This was because an outsider had no obligation to seek better understanding.

In the first round, Dynasty, Imperial Glory, and Star Lya had won. Asura and Dark Wolves had reached a draw in battle. The problem had arrived. When Olivios’ individual strength couldn’t achieve an overwhelming advantage, was Asura Battle Team really that strong?

Even if Marzu were to partic.i.p.ate, it would just be the same as the team that depended on hard strength. Obviously, great strength could overcome all things. He could just be that unreasonably strong. Nonetheless, if one kept holding on to such reasoning, there would eventually be a day when such reasoning failed. Therefore, this world had always had high regards for intelligence.

As for Eagle and Icefire Battle Teams, days weren’t that easy. Jian Zihao had left the Icefire Battle Team. After all, he had already made it clear that he would leave if he failed. He should also leave. The Icefire Battle Team had to reorganize itself. Otherwise, it would face elimination. When a team wasn’t worthy to remain inside, it had to leave.

Eagle Battle Team also faced the same problem. The performance of Dendi was still acceptable. However, he was still some distance away from Pampas. The results of Eagle Battle Team weren’t great, so Ma.n.a.lasuo had to make changes, and all of them would affect the results of the second round.

The atmosphere around Saruman Snake was pretty good. This was because w.a.n.g Zheng should be able to make it back. The a.n.a.lyses on the eight battle teams could be considered to be thorough. From the whole team to individuals, it was clearly organized. However, Zhang Shan felt that all of this was trash.

What did these professionals know?

w.a.n.g Zheng’s unique qualities were much stronger than Lear’s. The greatest ability of that sissy was his ability to “act”. Moreover, the truth was that w.a.n.g Zheng’s ability as captain was something that outsiders couldn’t perceive.

Zhang Shan knew clearly, Snow Li knew clearly, Vincent also knew clearly. Even Lie Xin and Achilles knew it clearly. He was that guy that could turn uncertainties to certainties.

What Zhang Shan felt like saying now was: You better be back quickly. I can no longer hold on. You better be back quickly. My life was interesting because of you.

w.a.n.g Zheng was the most lethal “venom” of the Saruman Snake Battle Team.
