This battle also exposed a problem. Among all the match ups, scouts were the easiest to be taken down. Such a full attack position needed absolute skill. If any team’s scout was lacking, they would really have to watch out.
And the team which was glaringly lacking in this aspect was Saruman Snake team, because Zhang Shan’s advantage lay in his Warp Ability X. But in a team battle, Zhang Shan was indeed not a good ranker in the Elite Academy.
In this Greatest King contest, one could not only strive for MVP, and Best Leader, but each position could also compete for Best Scout, Best fighter etc. To the fighters, there was nothing more intense.
Honestly, this was even more entertaining than the elite battles. Such a battle could completely display a person’s worth.
Although Star Lya team had lost, but this was just the start. They had already proven their ability. Of course, they had to carefully reflect on their experience.


For example Ao Ziwei, who had committed a grave error. At the crucial time, she did not even have the chance to use her Ability X before Lie Xin destroyed her. Her ability, besides splitting things apart, could be used in crucial situations to create a forcefield that negated Ability X. This was her killer move, but she had been suppressed, and even using it at 70% was not bad.
This was real battle. Especially in team battles, which had high demands on one’s reactions to sudden changes.
This was also why many people were not too fussed about the individual battles. If one had such skills, just enter Earth Grade already. Otherwise, there was not much point.
The festivities were not yet over. The second battle was about to start, and this match featured Asura team, ranked first, and chock full of Arbiters and nothing but. Internationally, Arbiter’s military power was widely recognized. But in these peaceful times, besides some group battles where they displayed their prowess, much of their power was left without an avenue. In truth, nobody knew to what extent Arbiter’s military people could go. Elite Academy could not represent the whole picture, but it could at least show one side.
Since you think you are strong, then show your stuff.
Second battle, Asura team vs Eagle team
Asura team, Eagle team
Scout: Sweeney (Soul Reaper), Bebeto (Dragon’s Fang)
Tank: Beo (Ox Demon), Roybad (Dragon’s Scale)
Offensive fighter: Briston (Slayer), Zhou Yu (Gold Wheel)


Free fighter: Olivios (Overlord), Dendi (Dragon God)
Offense: Simba (Annihilator), Cassia (Dragon’s Eye)
The first battle had already been a surprising performance. The next match was even more heavy-duty, because of the Asura team, ranked first.
Arbiters were really not the usual ‘crazy’. Against the Eagle team, who were putting in their best effort, Marzu had actually decided not to battle, and leave the team leadership to Olivios alone.
Asura team was ranked first because of Marzu’s presence. He was a classic Arbiter, but without the wild arrogance of Arbiters. Before Olivios entered Elite Academy, Marzu was one of the undisputed mains. But since Olivios entered Elite Academy, Marzu had suddenly become low profile. Besides the elite competition, there was virtually no news of him. In fact it was Olivios who was basking in glory now. That the team name was Asura was rumored to be because of Marzu’s brother, although it seemed unlikely because of Arbiters’ personalities. Besides, the two did not seem to be very close.
Of course, this was all gossip. The important thing was ability. Olivios had always been proceeding smoothly. Added to the name of Arbiter, they were unstoppable, until once in training when Dynasty team had taken them down. This was also why Dynasty team had been suddenly seen in a better light.

Dendi who? Never heard of him. Which rock crack did this one jump out of?


You’ve only been at Elite Academy for a year plus, you know shit. Dendi is a senior even more experienced than Marzu. Marzu and the rest only rose after the training phase.


This seems promising. Out of the eight teams, only Arbiter and Manalasuo have no external support. I want to see who’s fiercer.


If Marzu goes, I think Arbiter has the advantage. But with just Olivios, I favor Dendi a bit more.



The school’s internal sentiment on the two teams was more reasoned.
They were all Elite Academy students. Although their ability might differ, but they were all foxes in the same jungle. The Elite Academy had still underestimated the impact of such a battle on the other colleges.
The previous match had displayed power that far surpassed anybody’s expectations. And they were all human, and moreover students.
And the second match was between two major empires, Arbiter Empire and Manalasuo Republic. What kind of standard would such strong teams bring?
Mecha introduction, pilot introductions. These things were too simple, and gave no good reference. Every student knew that anybody here, put into their own school, would be a legend.
Besides the offensive fighter Zhou Yu, who did not use a Dragon series mecha, all other members of the Eagle team had used the Manalasuo classic Dragon series. Gold Wheel mech’s firepower was recently recognized. Not only Manalasuo, but other countries were also researching its uses. Once somebody had found the secret of using it, well, learning was the forte of humankind. But these people did not know that the one who had discovered the method was just sitting below.
Vincent eyed Wang Zheng, and then the competition. He had been overjoyed to come to Elite Academy, and to participate in such battles. If he had missed out he would have regretted it for life.
Manalasuo had no disadvantage. Dendi was unquestionably the star of Manalasuo’s younger generation. A stable big shot. The military had already prepared a position for him. If it was not that this Greatest King competition was too important to pass up on, Dendi was afraid he would not even stay.
Olivios was unquestionably one of the elite representatives of the galaxy for their generation, like Wang Zheng. In Vincent’s heart, only Olivios could hope to compete against Wang Zheng. And as for why he would lose to Lear, Vincent felt like there were other reasons included, and experience and teamwork were Olivios’ shortcomings. In IG, he had such a personality; so savage that no logic could get through, but built on a foundation of power that overcame all. At Elite Academy, nobody could reach this stage.

Looks like Asura team is exceptionally confident, for their leader to not make an appearance in the first match. Olivios is undoubtedly one of the representatives of the second years, but his strengths and weaknesses are very apparent. Let’s hope we can see a different side of him this time round.



Kato said.

Senior Dendi’s participation is really something to lift the heart this time round as well. I’m leaning towards Manalasuo’s Eagle team. They’re mature and stable. Personal opinion, I’m really looking forward to Gold Wheel’s performance. This was once the shame of Malalasuo but has now leapt to become a favorite in the galaxy. I’m anticipating its battle power.

Professor La Tu smiled.
The one who uncovered the subtle mysteries of the Gold Wheel is also at Elite Academy.


Is it Vincent? I hear that he is Manalasuo’s genius youth, and the youngest mechanist. Strange that he would actually be in Wang Zheng’s Saruman Snake team.
