No one really paid attention to Lear’s situation. All their attention was on the three battle teams that were still in the midst.
The official finals would be one month from now so as to give the three battle teams sufficient preparation time. The academy side also wished to see a match with a truly high degree of confrontation.
Match one: Imperial Glory battle team vs. Asura battle team;
Match two: Asura battle team vs. Saruman Snake battle team
Match three: Saruman battle team vs. Imperial Glory battle team


These were head-on confrontations without any grounds for backing off. Every match would have an interval of one week so as to ensure sufficient body conditions. At the same time, it provided time for battle strategy planning.
Overall speaking, Saruman Snake had a good draw. At least Saruman Snake could be more prepared as Asura and Imperial Glory battled it out fiercely.
However, practically, it wasn’t that useful. This was because at this level, the final victory or defeat still depended on hard strength.
As they entered this stage, all the students’ attention was on these three battle teams. Needless to say, for the side of the Imperial Glory battle team, they had to get number one. There was no room for error this time.
Every member of the Asura battle team had become very serious. Rumor had it that Marzu was assessing every single member each day. Before the day of the finals, they had to bring themselves to their best condition.
Reputation had no use in the face of strength. At the same time, the three battle teams had also started their analysis of their opponents.
Under such circumstances, if one felt that they could win without much effort, they would have already lost 90 percent of the match.
On the side of the Saruman Snake battle team, Ai Xiaolu and Eisen were responsible to search for intelligence in this aspect and to estimate the opponents’ competing line up and situation. In other words, it was just thinking from another perspective. If they were in the shoes of Asura and Imperial Glory, what kind of line-up would they use?
For the entire battle team, and also other battle teams, the situations were roughly the same. These types of interests that had erupted from the inside were much better than the average type of learning. These could help to develop the talents of these geniuses.
In this aspect, Elite Academy X had undoubtedly achieved its objective. At the same time, what was very important was that Elite Academy X had control over the pace of the Greatest King Competition and was giving out the title of the Greatest King to stimulate the senses of its students. However, it had no intention of turning this competition into an entertainment competition. When it was time for a break, they would just do so. After all, they were the Elite Academy.


As they had achieved the objective of lifting the ambitions of its students, it was about time to do a closure. This was also because more time was needed for the students for training, learning, and thinking.
Nonetheless, this was the decision by the upper management. One had to think a little further. For the greater portion of the students in Elite Academy, they were youths. They were more concerned about what was happening in front of them. Although they had the feeling of not having enough, and there were more people with others thoughts, determining the order among the three battle teams was considered as the most important thing in front of them now.
Clearly, in the minds of many people, Asura and Imperial Glory were determined to win it. As for the Saruman Snake battle team, the most they could do was hold on to the thinking of trying their best.
However, within the Saruman Snake battle team, Wang Zheng only had one thought, and that was to defeat Asura and Imperial Glory and ascend to the top.
He had to show his stance. This was not just for him but also for Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu.
The line-up of Saruman Snake wasn’t bad: Wang Zheng, Achilles, Lie Xin, Zhang Shan, Mu Zhen, Takumi, and Oli. Other than Oli’s Ability X, which wasn’t very compatible in her sniper role, in the other roles, the variation and moldability were still very high.
The appearance of Mu Zhen had directly strengthened the depth of the heavy mech position. Moreover, most of the people still couldn’t clearly understand the true strength of the people from Tita Star.
As for the Giant mech, there was nothing mysterious about it, and it didn’t have too high a level of technical content. The only unique point was suitability. Humans couldn’t use it at all.
Achilles was practising the Lighthouse Warrior behind closed doors recently. He had to find his own understanding before the finals.
This was also the core to clinching victory.


As for Asura and Imperial Glory, the main direction for research was still on their opponents. Imperial Glory had to pay attention to the double rapier of Marzu and Olivios. No one knew what it would be like if the two of them were to participate at the same time.
As for Asura, they had to find out the hidden cards and unique characters of Di Maria and the Atlantean.
At the level of the finals, it would be impossible to completely overwhelm one’s opponent. This was a confrontation of pacing. Whoever could bring his opponent’s style and pace into his own would be able to achieve victory from it.
If one wished to rely on rolling over or a simple breakthrough from a certain segment, this would simply be impossible.
In the confrontation between two sides, there would definitely be areas where one side was stronger and others where one side was weaker. To maximize one’s strength and avoid one’s weakness, this would be basic strategy. He would have such thoughts and so would his opponents. In this type of match, the teams still had to depend on the performance of the captain.
This was a super battle.
If the captain couldn’t control the tempo, it wouldn’t be possible.
Therefore, for these three matches, no matter who performed better, the one who controlled the tempo would definitely be the captain.
There was still a period of time until the competition. However, the entire Elite Academy was immersed in a lively atmosphere. This type of situation where everyone was involved was something that individual competitions couldn’t match.
No matter if it was the battle department or non-battle departments, they could all participate and express their own opinions.


In the academy system of Elite Academy, everyone had turned into
strategists
and participated in the formulation of strategies. From the standpoint of popularity, the Imperial Glory battle team still possessed an overwhelming advantage.
After all, this was Aslan, and Aina was around. Years of operating an outstanding international image had still garnered endless support for Aslan. Arbiter was just behind mainly because they were a little cold. Nonetheless, there wasn’t a lack of people who preferred the cold type. At this moment, the Saruman Snake battle team, who was rather popular, seemed irrelevant.
If it was just a competition during normal times, it could be overlooked. However, when it came to the decisive moment of victory, everything would change. People still preferred those traditional powerhouses. Those who supported the underdogs were only the minority. Simply put, if Saruman Snake won, it wouldn’t simply be honor for the underdogs. It would also be a blow to the common traditional perception and habits.
Earthling?
This word couldn’t be linked to the title of champion at all.
Wang Zheng looked seriously through the information on Marzu that Ai Xiaolu had gathered. This time, he had to face the Fan Brothers, and special credits to Ai Xiaolu for gathering such information.

You don’t have to thank me. Even I couldn’t get my hands on such things. You should thank Luo Er.
While she was in Wang Zheng’s dormitory, Ai Xiaolu seemed especially relaxed.
The truth was, to Wang Zheng, as long as he could enter the finals, it would already be a victory. He had already attracted the attention of the upper management from various countries to make a file on him. The news he had gathered from Luo Er was that the Milky Way Alliance was very satisfied with his performance. One could say that Wang Zheng had become one of the reserve military officers. With a network at this level, this was undoubtedly very important to his future development.
Wang Zheng smiled and replied,
I have to thank all of you.


Do you know that Luo Er and her friends are all analysing you and the Saruman Snake battle team so as to find out the secrets behind your victories?



Ai Xiaolu giggled.
Do you have a winning formula? I can see that you aren’t anxious at all.

Compared to Asura’s and Imperial Glory’s serious stance, the Saruman Snake battle team seemed the most relaxed. One should know that Wang Zheng had just made such ambitious comments not too long ago.
