Tempest of the Stellar War

The Elite Academy X was just that big, and Huiyin was in the limelight.

“This is not logical, why must the Princess follow such a new battle team?”

“We of Aslan are the best battle team.”

“What’s the name of their battle team?”

“I heard it’s a snake, anyway it’s some soft, floppy snake. Looks like the name they picked was not imposing.”

“A small character from a small place, of course they have to be low-key.”

“Sigh, if Hocatolin had not lost, the Princess would not be like this too.”

Everyone was a little upset but then they also could not say it in front of Hocatolin. Hocatolin was after all the strongest in Aslan. But even if he personally was the strongest, it did not mean that his team’s ability was the strongest.

In the Elite Academy X, not everyone cared about team battles. Like Hocatolin, his individual ability was too strong. He only needed the others to cooperate with him. Occasionally he would take part in these type of team battles and he alone could set the rhythm and suppress the opponents. After all he was famous for a reason.

If Lin Huiyin did not come, then things would perhaps be less conflicted. However, Lin Huiyin’s attention on the Solar System obviously made the Aslan students jealous.

They would not think that Lin Huiyin had done anything wrong but thought that it were they themselves who did not do well enough. The greater responsibility was flung onto Hocatolin. If Hocatolin had won, where would there be all these troublesome matters.

The Saruman Snake Battle Team might have just been established but they received a certain level of attention.

At the Elite Academy X, individual ability and team ability were two entirely different things. Actually, the few strongest Xuan Graders, like Hocatolin, Marzu and the others had initially not taken part in these team battles. After all they had the chance to break through to the Earth Grade and had no need to waste effort on people who were of lower levels.

But just like Hu Kan, after being defeated in one battle, he lost that type of special privileges and team battles seemed unavoidable. Hocatolin while defeated, had shown off very strong abilities. He continued to hold onto the level of ability to enter the Earth Grade. But Hu Kan had not much hope already.

But once strengths like Hu Kan joined a battle team, then the battle team would be frighteningly strong. Of course, the prerequisite was that he really wanted to be part of the battle team.

A team required cooperation within. Everyone for me and me for everyone. This was the first and most important task.

The outside world felt that cases like Wang Zheng who was a powerful person who did not focus on training and on the contrary took part in such “unproductive” things like the battle team, was the exception. At least he also had the hope to breakthrough the Battle Power Rankings.

Wang Zheng and his group was not concerned at all with the comments of the outside world. The battle team was called the Saruman Snake. The glory of the previous semester was already in the past. Wang Zheng had already forgotten about it. There were quite a lot of lessons for the Xuan Graders new semester and Wang Zheng had chosen a lot of them. He wanted to try his best to understand more. His time outside lessons were used to take part in Saruman Snake’s battle team training.

Other than the five main powers, the battle team also had reserves and support like Ai Xiaolu, De Fulei, Eisen, Magjull and the others had all joined in too. At least the whole battle team looked more comprehensive.

Entering the second semester, actually the direction everyone was taking had basically surfaced. Except for Wang Zheng whose choices were wide. He belonged to the sort of students the Academy was developing and thus possessed significant freedom and skill to pursue what he wanted. However, most people were starting to learn about team battles. Some were focused on attack power, some were focused on support. Even though attackers could attain glory here, this was only the situation in the Academy. In the army, many people who studied supportive skills had better big picture perspectives and on the contrary could advance better. However, regardless if one was a supporter or an attacker, all had the chance to become generals.

The Saruman Snake Team Battle trainings were filled with laughter and cheer. However these laughter belonged to the supports. Eisen, Magjull, Oli and the others happily looked on to the attacker’s training.

This was the training schedule that Wang Zheng had planned. It was indeed a little too much. Actually… this was the edited version.

When Vincent and the others saw the first version of the training plan from Wang Zheng, their faces all darkened.

Was this a training plan for humans?

There was absolutely no one who could stand it. Wang Zheng then realized he was a little too impatient for success. Not everyone could stand his level of training.

Other people pursued power based on regular basics, but Wang Zheng from young did not understand what was regular. No matter whether it was Old Merchant’s teachings or the torture from entering the Rubik’s cube, all had made him into an existence who had totally no bottom line to raising his strength. However, other people could not handle it.

In the end, he changed into a more gentle training style, but still made everyone complain. Even Vincent and Takumi who thought that their resistances were strong also suffered until they could not speak. Snow Li could only ground her teeth and braved through. On this aspect, Zhang Shan was the worse. His brains were used for battle, but on the battlefield, it mainly depended on the body. If the body was not strong enough, often, the brain would not have a chance to show off.

Wang Zheng’s training was mainly to let the main members be more familiar with each other and at the same time develop a type of team cooperation. Other than the so-called daily training, there was also the daily duels and it was of course personally controlled by Wang Zheng. The nicely put reason was to duel with everyone.

Except, a few days later, everyone suffered under his hands. At first when they received this shocking news, Zhang Shan felt his world crashing down and his future pitch black. Vincent and Takumi on the other hand were still cheery. In the following few days, Wang Zheng used various mecha, various angles and various methods to torture them, beating the two of them until they felt like dying. At this moment, the two of them then truly felt how strong Wang Zheng was.

Vincent who just returned thought that even though he could not beat Wang Zheng, they were not that far off, but now he knew that when he was improving, Wang Zheng was not just lazing around. Also, Wang Zheng was even more hardworking.

Actually from a technique and understanding of mecha standpoint, Vincent had already reached a relatively high level. Wang Zheng also could not help much, except in duels where Vincent himself could look for inspiration. In fact, Wang Zheng himself was also looking for inspiration. Every member of his team had their own specialty. In the individual components they were very strong and this was something Wang Zheng wanted to learn from.

He had enough energy to absorb these things and make himself even stronger. At the same time, he understood the concept of cooperation.

While Wang Zheng alone had very strong combat ability, he was biased towards team battles. After he had seen war, he very clearly understood that helplessness of an individual in a big battle.

But the battle power executed by a group of powerful people sometimes surpassed even a larger troop.

During the duels with Wang Zheng, the one who reaped the most benefits was Takumi. Jar Jar Mi’s potential was really very strong. It was just that his change was still a little lacking. While battling, he sometimes could get some inspiration from Wang Zheng.

And Wang Zheng was similarly interested in the Grand Earth power. This type of power amongst the defensive powers were definitely unique. And you don’t say, in his battles with Wang Zheng, Takumi really thought of a few very experimental type of powers.

Snow Li’s talent was relatively good. On the understanding of ice, she was even better than Wang Zheng. Except when it came to her skills, she needed to raise it through battles and catch up with the team’s rhythm.

As for Zhang Shan, it was another thing altogether. Wang Zheng only cared to torture him and ignored everything else. This was because Zhang Shan was a genius ability X user. The more battles he participated in, the more he could strengthen his spiritual strength.

Basically, the training that had just began were only to strengthen understanding. Cooperation in an Elite team was relatively specific. Wang Zheng and his group had watched a few of the past competitions during this period of time. The cooperation between team members were relatively shocking. Aslan’s style focused on strategy and even more on an individual’s talent show off. Arbiter on the other hand were the typical harsh hot-blooded style. They focused on iron-clad rules and fierce advances. There was no deviance on execution. Seeing their type of battle was totally a type of enjoyment. The charm of team battles were of a different style from individuals.

Of course, team battles did not exclude personal heroes. Except that this difficulty was increased by a lot. Huiyin’s presence on the other hand was another factor that raised other people’s potential. This was… Wang Zheng did it on purpose after he had discovered this point. He then took the initiative to invite Huiyin to watch. Even Zhang Shan who was suffering multiple cuts only complained but did not withdraw from training.

Except this situation finally angered the people of Aslan.
