Tempest of the Stellar War

After returning to the Academy, Wang Zheng was busy. He had to go for remedial classes for some of his subjects and had to train together with the Saruman Snake battle team. One could say that he was really living his life to the fullest, and therefore Huiyin did not look for him.

Wang Zheng felt that Huiyin was, in fact, rather pitiful. Under normal circumstances, Huiyin would definitely look for him. However, she did not. This showed that she had to be feeling guilty. The truth was that she didn’t have to put all of these things on herself. Typically, Wang Zheng would want to console her a little. However, considering his wretched affinity with Aslan, it might be a good thing to keep a distance.

Saruman Snake battle team against the Dark Wolves battle team was indeed a tough match. He had already seen the battle between Dark Wolves and Asura. For the new Dark Wolves with Sartes as the leader, whether it was individually or as a group, their brutality was still first class. Olivios also seemed to not have had enough preparation. The overall strength of Arbiter Republic was very strong. However, this didn’t mean that they couldn’t be beaten in this type of selective, high-end battle.

No one could be invincible.

If Marzu did not participate, Asura wouldn’t be able to achieve no. 1. However, Marzu seemed to be willing to endure.

However, the people of Arbiter didn’t have the habit of gossiping and doubting. It was at least so up till now. Marzu definitely had his reasons for not participating, but it would never be because he was afraid of failure.

Sartes and Sloughberg, together with Chevalana, were definitely a lineup that could infuriate others. Their team abilities were definitely devastating. When facing such a team, individual strength would have to be sufficiently strong. For this match, Zhang Shan couldn’t participate in it.

Zhang Shan had distinct improvements. Whether it was body or mental preparation, he had a significant change. However, in this type of battle, he wouldn’t be able to demonstrate his advantage when it came to warping.

One could say that this was a death match that would be fought along a tiny path. Intelligence was not suitable in it.

With regards to the current line- up, Wang Zheng didn’t felt that they were at a disadvantage at all. The trident formed by Lie Xin, Achilles, and himself was sufficient for this level of battle.

Wang Zheng didn’t care about how the outsiders viewed them. The current Saruman Snake battle team was definitely one of the strongest teams. No matter who they faced, they stood a good chance in battle.

However, sometimes luck just wasn’t good enough. Just when everyone was confidently preparing for the battle, Achilles and Lie Xin were injured during sparring in training.

The two of them went a little overboard when sparring with physical techniques. The Heavenly King Arts and the Lie Flame Technique were both extremely violent. Under normal circumstances, the more they used their cultivation techniques, the more care they had to exercise. However, this time, Achilles and Lie Xin had really gone overboard when sparring. In the end, both of them suffered a certain degree of injuries from the recoil.

These injuries couldn’t recover just overnight.

Everyone had come to the medical center. If it was just external injuries, it wouldn’t be anything. However, for damage caused from the recoil of cultivation techniques, the two of them had to regulate themselves. Otherwise, once they pushed themselves too far, the damage would be permanent; it wouldn’t be worth the risk anymore.

“I want to faint. Why are you two still so rash at this type of juncture? The match is starting soon. With two of the main members injured, what should we do?” Zhang Shan felt bottled up. This was because Achilles and Lie Xin were the main members for this match. To deal with a monster team like Dark Wolves, they were needed no matter what.

Achilles nodded his head apologetically. “It’s my fault. I was in the heat of the moment and I had not expected to become serious about it.”

“I’m at fault too. I have been feeling a little bottled up recently, and as we fought, I got serious. The truth is the two of us can still participate. There shouldn’t be a problem,” said Lie Xin.

Wang Zheng shook his head. “The two of you should regulate your bodies for some time. Internal injuries can be serious and shouldn’t be treated lightly. It’s just a match and there’s a long way to go in the future. Just leave this match to us.

With things coming to this, lamenting clearly had no use. Oliviola and the rest also consoled them for a while before leaving.

It was just that the ambitions were burning strongly with the return of Wang Zheng. Yet this had caused their fervour to plummet.

“Wang Zheng, what should we do with just us? How can we fight against that crazy Dark Wolves battle team?” asked Takumi helplessly. He definitely had to participate in the battle now. However, this wasn’t anything good. Saruman Snake battle team needed a victory urgently.

“Takumi, Zhang Shan together with Mu Zhen and Oliviola should be fine too. It is just that we have to re-formulate the battle strategy,” laughed Wang Zheng.

This smile… made Takumi feel a little more assured. However…”You are still confident?”

“Yeap. Why would I not be? In fact, the process won’t affect the results.”

Wang Zheng said.

Takumi and Zhang Shan took a look at each other. His… confidence was really overflowing. However, thinking about it, things had already come to this. Being depressed wasn’t constructive. They could go at it courageously or remain depressed. It would all be the same.

“I don’t care anymore. We will just do as you say,” said Zhang Shan.

Wang Zheng, who was the epicentre of criticism, was still so composed. He would not need to worry about it then.

In the medical room, Achilles and Lie Xin looked at each other.

“Is this really fine?” Achilles frowned.

“There’s nothing bad about it. Although Lear is a little schemer, he knows the objectives for the things he has to do. However, just like what he had said, the two of us are just like Wang Zheng’s assistants now. If that’s the case, Wang Zheng has to take out something to show us his strength,” said Lie Xin.

She wasn’t interested in the so-called collaboration. Otherwise, she would be the captain. Since Wang Zheng was back, his tone had been very big and brimming with confidence. This was a good thing. However, overconfidence wasn’t something good. It was especially so if he felt that he could rely on Achilles and Lie Xin. If that’s the case, Wang Zheng was making a grave mistake.

Both of them were from the Solar System. Achilles and Lie Xin had never intended to be subordinates of anyone unless this person could totally convince the two of them.

Wang Zheng was not bad, but it wasn’t enough for them to do anything drastic yet.

Although Lear saying such things at this moment was clearly instigative, it was also the truth.

It was the same for Achilles. The Heavenly King family, which was also the Doyle’s family, had been rather heavily involved in the project on Tita Star. However, no matter what it was, there was always a distinction between what was more important. Achilles and Lie Xin were both from reputable families. The three of them forming a battle team was also hoping that they could cooperate for interests in the Solar System. However, the Doyle family and the Lie family were too big and they had nothing to lose. However, considering the situation now, it wouldn’t be right for them to not cooperate.

This time, Achilles and Lie Xin had decided to give Wang Zheng a test. If Wang Zheng got through it, there would be nothing the two of them could say anymore and they would follow Wang Zheng to battle. If he couldn’t get through, then the group would be split. It was the case in Saruman Snake and so would it be in the Solar System.

“What do you think are his chances?”

“It’s hard to tell. This time, it’s really hard to tell.”

In fact, the two of them felt rather conflicted too. However, this was also an explanation that the two of them needed to give to their pride and arrogance.

No matter what the results would be, Lear was someone that they couldn’t get close to. This person was too good at sowing discord. If they got too close to him, they might not even know when he would betray them. A person who knew personalities well and was great in making use of the human personality was the most dangerous kind.

The news of Achilles and Lie Xin’s injuries weren’t secret and soon spread. This time, it was definitely one disaster after another, and it caused the people who believed in the Saruman Snake battle team to feel desolate.

With their two main members injured, how could they win this battle?
