But Luo Er shook her head. “That’s what we need to remind Wang Zheng of tomorrow. I got word that Imperial Glory is changing captains.”

“Again? Di Maria’s not bad, and a last minute change can’t be a good thing.” Ai Xiaolu was surprised. She had not thought Aina to be so wise to the matter.

Among the talents of this generation, Aina was the only one who Ai Xiaolu found totally mysterious. This was also perhaps due to their relative positions. Aina was the only one who she conceded nobility of birth to.

“The Atlanteans seem to have mastered some power. They will be using it in the fight against the Saruman Snake battle team. A taboo power. Have you heard anything about it?” Luo Er said.

“Taboo power?” Ai Xiaolu had not.

“This is some Atlantean secret. Haven’t you wondered why the Atlanteans don’t directly convert their prodigious mental energy into Ability X? Ability X is actually an intuitive response between the innate human body and the universe. Their mental energy is so strong, but they have always been reluctant to use it.”

“You mean... the Atlanteans have not even used half their strength?” Ai Xiaolu was shocked.

“Could be. I haven’t seen it before either. But this change, the Atleanteans volunteering... I guess it must be so. Otherwise, he has no reason, and Aina would not agree either. That princess is also a remarkable one.” Luo Er smiled. On this, Luo Er and Ai Xiaolu were on the same side.

“No matter how strong the Atlanteans are, can they be stronger than the Arbiter guys? I don’t think this deserves worry. Let’s see what Wang Zheng thinks. If he wants to win, I think it will still be easier than Arbiter.”

“Keke, I’ve always been curious. What exactly is the complication between Wang Zheng and Aina?” Luo Er suddenly asked.

Ai Xiaolu turned her own cup, her voice a little distant. “They were in love once. You know how the Aslan imperial palace conducts itself. Eventually they broke up. Who would have thought that something would happen to Aina at the Milky Way Military College? There was a fault in her mental state, and you know how the imperial house insists on mental wholeness in its descendants. That’s why they requested for Aina to come here.”

Luo Er smiled. “No wonder. But I’m still quite curious. If you said that she liked the Wang Zheng of today, that’s understandable. But the way you told it, they must have met very early on. Wang Zheng must have been a nobody back then, how could Aina have fallen in love with him?”

Luo Er’s inadvertent remark made both their hearts skip a beat. This... her eye was just a little better than theirs.

Although neither would admit it, a good eye meant nothing. He was only yours if you captured him.

Whether it was a guy or a girl, this encouraged their desire to win. Should they conquer or steal?

Jiang Feng retrieved the data on Wang Zheng. He was quite lucky that Wang Zheng’s current data was still within his authorized access scope.

His substantial improvement had come from the Tita Star battle, entering X490. Because this was an international dispute, the intelligence had been sealed. He had used a runic mech to kill an Earth-rank mercenary. Even without more details, this was enough proof that Wang Zheng, at that time, was well within Earth-rank standard.

As for Wang Zheng using the Skeleton mech to kill Fire Falcon, that had not been credited to him. Others had guessed that some higher force had helped him – perhaps Arbiter and Aslan were out for each other. As for the Titan god that the Tita people claimed, everyone treated it as a joke. Of course, some occult clubs had shown interest in it as a good story.

This guy was really low-profile. He had no issues, and had a good personality. Jiang Feng had taken a liking to him.

Although a win in this iteration of the Greatest King would not increase his ranking, at least it would consolidate it.

The X leaderboards were a reference at most. Battles for life and death were the fastest ways to rise. On this, Jiang Feng was clear.

The key was potential and consent. He felt it was worth a shot.

Jiang Feng closed the data and looked at the wall in his bedroom. He rested a hand lightly on it, and the wall dissolved in a water-like ripple, giving way to another room.

The room sealed after Jiang Feng entered.

One large, round table, 12 chairs.

After about 10 minutes, each chair was supplemented with a person. But the furtive state still persisted.

“Captain, honored brothers, I have called everyone here today to propose a replacement,” Jiang Feng said.

There were only 11 on the 12 seats. One seat was empty.

The 12 seats each had a symbol, representing the 12 ecliptic stars. Jiang Feng was representing the Golden Lion.

The one hailed as leader bore the Scales of Justice.

“Please send the information.”

No one spoke. They received the data, but still no one spoke.

“Rule 12. Above 40 years of age, X100, above 30 years, X200.”

Jiang Feng nodded. “But he’s only 21.”

Scales of Justice mulled this over for a while. “To the vote, then.”

Six to Five.

“Majority wins. Wang Zheng will become one of the candidates. We thank Golden Lion for his nomination.”

They nodded, and their holograms winked out.

Jiang Feng retreated out of the room, and everything was back to normal.

Wang Zheng, the real challenge was coming. As a weed, if he wanted to have a place in this surging masterpiece of a world, he needed strength!

Looking at Wang Zheng, Jiang Feng could almost see his past self. But he hoped that Wang Zheng could surpass him.

After resting for a day, Zhang Shan and Achilles were discharged. Neither’s situation was serious, merely a mental energy deficit. Such a deficit was slightly more serious than physical ones. The recuperation method was simply rest and nothing more.

Although Zhang Shan and Achilles could not participate in battle, they still hoped to render some assistance to the battle team.

The Imperial Glory battle team was very strong, but at this stage, nobody wanted to lose. If the Saruman Snake battle team lost to Imperial Glory, the school had indicated that things would be concluded – the three battle teams would be regarded as equally strong, with no Greatest King.

This was evidently something that many would not be happy with. There was no first place in intelligence, and no second place in martial arts. They must have a winner.

But everyone was in a cold sweat over the Saruman Snake battle team’s lineup.

Before, Lie Xin had taken up the scout position. That was still fine. Against Jin Yaoer, Lie Xin was no worse. She liked hard scouts, because she was hard herself. Although she had been targeted by Olivios, that was normal. It was Olivios after all.

The tank, Mu Zhen, sat steady. Against Annil, it was difficult to say who was better. The main thing was that Mu Zhen was inexperienced. After the last fight, Imperial Glory could not help but target him as the weak spot

Another way was to let Takumi take the tank, and let Mu Zhen be the offensive fighter. After all, the giants’ attack power was strong. But on the mid field was Di Maria and Heracles. Without Achilles, against these two cores, the problem looked unsolvable.

In the last battle, it had been said that Wang Zheng had crushed his fight. In truth, each had made their own breakthroughs. If they had acted together, Wang Zheng would be defeated even if he sprouted extra heads and limbs.

This was an unsolvable question. Oli could hold out for a while on the sniper position, but in truth, her firepower could not compare to Lu Die’s.

They had talked it over for a whole day, but still had no viable solution. Wang Zheng was not a god. He had racked his brains as well, but it was difficult to find a good method. Besides, Ai Xiaolu had brought some worrying news, which is that the Atlanteans were planning to go all out on the Saruman Snake battle team.

Ai Xiaolu was clearly not one to unnecessarily scare people. This must mean that the perverted Atlanteans were bringing out an even more horrifying power.

Di Maria or Heracles? Wang Zheng had to chose one. But who would face the other?

Lie Xin?

Lie Xin would definitely do fine as a fighter, but her personality was a little more stubborn. But she was also not on the level of Achilles and Marzu. Whether it was Di Maria or Heracles, they would beat her comfortably. Wang Zheng did not believe that after one loss, Di Maria would crumble.

If defeat had dampened their morale, then Asura’s defeat had pulled them back from the cliff.

The disadvantage in their lineup was clear. That was why, no matter how they broke it down, everyone agreed that they needed a group battle to level the disadvantage. But group battles were also Imperial Glory’s forte. It could be over in a short time. Di Maria’s Ability X was potent with killing power. If they could not engineer an opportunity for Wang Zheng to invite a decisive fight, then they would lose.

There was still ample time before the competition. Perhaps a lineup shift could create some opportunities. Zhang Shan and Achilles were willing spirits with weak flesh right now.

It was getting late, and everyone prepared to disperse and get some rest. Tactics could not be rushed into. After letting it go, and the heat dissipated from their brains, perhaps they would come to some new understanding.

But Wang Zheng received a message... from Huiyin.

She wanted to hold a celebration for Wang Zheng and his companions. At this delicate time?

Was this... Imperial Glory’s strategy?
