Di Maria wasn’t enraged. He walked up and stood in front of the members of the Saruman Snake battle team. He paused for a moment and put on a smile. However, he was clearly looking down from a height. His momentum gushed out instantly as if this was natural for him.

Zhang Shan was a complaint king, but even he found it hard to make a move after seeing the momentum of Di Maria. If he started scolding when the other party hadn’t even opened his mouth, that would be really uncouth. It would be better for w.a.n.g Zheng to deal with this kind of person.

w.a.n.g Zheng was also looking at Di Maria with a smile. There was clearly hidden killing intent between the two captains. If gazes could kill, w.a.n.g Zheng would probably be slashed into a thousand pieces.

“Student w.a.n.g Zheng, can we talk about this? You guys can sit behind and give this place to us. I will remember today,” said Di Maria with a smile. He had already given a lot of respect by saying these words in public. Di Maria naturally couldn’t represent Aslan, but he could represent himself and his family. To be able to befriend a person like him in the Elite Academy was definitely a good thing, as long as w.a.n.g Zheng’s emotional quotient wasn’t as low as a kindergartener’s.

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled and replied, “We still have a few empty seats here. You guys can take them. There’re also some seats in the second row for the others. Isn’t this just right?”

Di Maria tweaked his eyebrows. “w.a.n.g Zheng, the first row is usually reserved for Aslan and Arbiter. I don’t remember you being from Aslan or Arbiter.”

After saying this, he even took a look at Marzu and Olivios. He wanted to form an alliance with Arbiter. On this matter, it wasn’t a compet.i.tion with their fists but to maintain a certain chemistry and order. In this aspect, the people of Arbiter should be on the same side as them.

However, Marzu was emotionless. The truth was there weren’t many people who understood Marzu in the Elite Academy. The people from Arbiter had no doubts about the current situation of the Asura battle team. However, other students were having various kinds of discussions about them and were all saying that Marzu were spoiling his brother. How could he let him be so wilful?

“Oh, there’s such a norm? I didn’t seem to see it on the school rules,” said w.a.n.g Zheng.

Di Maria smiled faintly. He had expected w.a.n.g Zheng to say such words. “Fairness” was the only weapon that small figures relied on to “comfort” themselves with. However, this world wasn’t like this.

“w.a.n.g Zheng, the norms aren’t the school rules. However, this is a form of respect to the strongest students. I believe that this is also a form of recognition. For you to be sitting here, are you saying that you are stronger than me, stronger than my Imperial Glory battle team?” said Di Maria. This was also the situation, a debate. Whoever flared up would have lost. This was about being reasonable. w.a.n.g Zheng’s argument was about whoever came first could take the seats. However, Di Maria’s argument was about respect for the experts. This argument was something that Elite Academy and the students had recognized and was also a form of compet.i.tive situation. In other words, whoever gave up more should also receive more.

“So that’s how it is. In that case, our Saruman Snake should be sitting here even more so,” said w.a.n.g Zheng. “However, I believe that we are all students and don’t have to be too concerned. You all can sit in the empty places.”

All the students were getting excited. This was a naked challenge. Since the establishment of the Elite Academy many years ago, there had been changes in batches after batches of students. There wasn’t a lack of extremely gifted experts from other countries, but there had never been such a person that dared to challenge the “authority” head-on.

Di Maria laughed. “What you mean is that you are stronger than me and that Saruman Snake is stronger than Imperial Glory?”

“Is that a question? Junior Di Maria?” said w.a.n.g Zheng faintly.

A faint smile appeared on the edge of Snow Li’s mouth. She had not expected w.a.n.g Zheng to be so sharp with his words. Di Maria had fallen for it.

The so-called strength wasn’t about what you believed or what I believed. It had to be shown on the surface.

w.a.n.g Zheng had obtained the champions.h.i.+p for his group on the Individual Elite Compet.i.tion and the Saruman Snake battle team had obtained first place in the first season. The second season was still ongoing, and Saruman Snake had achieved a grand victory in the previous match. Theoretically speaking, there was nothing wrong with them sitting there. Even if Di Maria was stronger, he was still a “freshman.”

The word “junior” was like an arrow to his heart.

Aina smiled. She knew that at this stage, Di Maria had already lost. If he continued quarrelling, it would become a farce. When she first saw w.a.n.g Zheng, she thought he would be a very boring person. It seemed that it wasn’t the case now.

“Di Maria, let’s sit separately. Just as what student w.a.n.g Zheng has said, strength has to be proven over time.”

Aina said. If Aina wasn’t around, Di Maria would either choose to teach w.a.n.g Zheng a lesson or would continue arguing with w.a.n.g Zheng. However, Aina was around. With w.a.n.g Zheng s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g things up now, he had no way out. This had tarnished his glorious image in front of Aina. Moreover, Di Maria was a n.o.ble and knew clearly that a person that always just went with the flow wouldn’t even enter Aina’s eyes. A man had to have his own views.

Shaking his head, he continued, “w.a.n.g Zheng, I remember Saruman Snake suffering a huge loss recently. Is that strength?”

This huge loss was to Imperial Glory. The Saruman Snake had also fallen to the trough because of this failure.

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled and replied, “This round has just started. A single loss doesn’t mean anything. If we are fated to face each other again, you will see the real Saruman Snake.”

Di Maria’s face was turning a little stiff. w.a.n.g Zheng was clearly going to argue all the way.

At this moment, Lear suddenly stood up with a smile. “The professors are coming soon. Why are we wasting time on such a small incident? We can sit closer over here.”

Lear’s move was like killing two birds with a single arrow. On one hand, he could tell everyone that he was humble, which made w.a.n.g Zheng and Di Maria seem like they were competing. On the other hand, he could get into the good books of Di Maria. At the same time, he was using time to pressure the two of them. The meaning was that if you were going to create a fuss, you better do it quickly. When the professors were around, this farce could not continue.

Luo Fei was already completely convinced. Boss’ intrusion was forcibly taking over the tempo. Hehe. That’s really awesome. Seeing that Di Maria had clenched his fist, Mu Zhen, who was at the side, clearly felt it. His eyes were opened widely like those of his age and he roughly could understand that the first row was for the strongest people to sit. This person wanted Ada to give up his seats. In the world of the people of t.i.ta, this was equivalent to competing for territory and would warrant a death match.

Aina smiled faintly. “Student w.a.n.g Zheng is the core of Saruman Snake. Saruman Snake can only be considered to be complete with him. Di Maria, you can just sit at the back. When we obtain number one, there will be no one competing with us then. Thank you, Student Lear.”

Lear had already s.h.i.+fted inside and made out some s.p.a.ce. “It’s my honor to be able to attend lessons together with Princess Highness.”

Aina smiled as though she was basking in the spring breeze. “I’ll just sit here, is student w.a.n.g Zheng fine with it?”

Aina was indeed Aina as she neutralized the highly confrontational atmosphere instantly. w.a.n.g Zheng suppressed his emotions and replied, “Please.”

Zhang Shan immediately give up his seat and raised his thumb up secretly. Awesome!

Instantly, eyes of envy were everywhere. They were originally intending to watch a show. What was this sudden change about? Instantly, Student w.a.n.g Zheng could feel the temperature of his back rising up. If there was a convex lens, it would already be burning.

Lear was a little embarra.s.sed, but he still had the level of an Oscar winner. He was still maintaining his smile as Di Maria and the rest sat down. At least Lear had given Di Maria a platform to move back.

Aina sat beside w.a.n.g Zheng naturally and with poise. She represented Aslan, and what this meant was that Aslan was still sitting in the first row. However, she recognized the previous performances of Saruman Snake battle team. As a true expert, the Imperial Glory battle team led by Hocatolin had indeed not produced the expected performance.

“Student w.a.n.g Zheng, do you dislike Aslan?” asked Aina suddenly.

When Aina sat beside him, w.a.n.g Zheng’s memory couldn’t be suppressed and it gushed out. He was even a little unwilling to take a look at Aina. He had crawled out from the verge of death on t.i.ta time after time. Truthfully speaking, human life was too fragile and too brief. Sometimes, it was really a little conflicting.

w.a.n.g Zheng didn’t reply. This made Aina feel a little bottled. The truth was she admired w.a.n.g Zheng. This was also because of Huiyin. She hoped that it would be healthy compet.i.tion and wouldn’t turn into something else. Logically speaking, this person shouldn’t be that petty.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Zheng took a look at Aina. That gaze… made Aina’s heart constrict. She seemed to have lost something very, very important. The two of them just stared at each other this way… They should have known that there were many people behind them. It was especially so for the people of Aslan who were staring at w.a.n.g Zheng as though they were a pack of wolves or tigers. If w.a.n.g Zheng were to do anything unruly, they would definitely rush ahead and shred him apart.

w.a.n.g Zheng didn’t say a word and turned his head around. Butcher had arrived with a few a.s.sistants behind him.

Mu Zhen was also scrutinizing Aina curiously. He had never seen such a beautiful human. It was strange. Not only was she beautiful, there was an unexplainable feeling. She had qualities that were very similar to those of Ada.

Marzu smiled. This number one princess of Aslan was indeed not just a vase. If she became the queen, her affinity and leaders.h.i.+p would probably be much stronger than Kashawen’s. With the foundation laid by Kashawen, Aslan wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
