Wang Zheng wasn't interested to understand how the CPD project would operate as long as Ye Zisu had gotten over the difficult stage. Ye Zisu might very likely be the first to reach her objectives among the three of them. At the very least, not many knew about Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu while Ye Zisu was going to be very famous very soon.
The most pressing problem for Wang Zheng now was how to make Saruman Snake battle team entered the vision of the mentors. The difficulties were very high and the competition was very intense. The simplest way was to challenge other teams.
However a weaker opponent would be pointless while stronger opponents weren't interested. Those teams that had qualified wouldn't be involved in it at this sensitive period. This had then become a problem for the Saruman Snake battle team as they could do anything despite knowing they were capable of it.
Moreover, there were a lot of other problems too.
Manalasuo's Eagle battle team was formed. From the news that were released internally, the Academy wished to witness competition of the highest standards when choosing the 8 teams so as to provide other students and battle teams some experience. Arbiter's request for 2 teams had been rejected. However with Olivios and Marzu in the same team... almost everyone felt a little painful at the thought of it. It would be a little hopeless when facing Arbiter. However even so, they had to fight. After all this wasn't an individual fight but a team battle competition. It was especially so after they heard that the brothers of Olivios and Marzu weren't that close.
Manalasuo's strong strength was beyond doubt. In terms of battle style, Manalasuo was a little like Arbiter. It was just that the depth of their bench wasn't as great. Looking at the terrifying line-up of other teams, Manalasuo had to strengthen themselves. Yet, Vincent, the young mechanic of Manalasuo had surprisingly joined a "mudskipper" battle team. Wasn't this a joke?
The chairman of Manalasuo's Alumni Club, Dendi, had returned. As a master from Xuan Class 1, his experience was a little more than Marzu. For the past year, he had been executing various missions and only returned to the Academy from time to time. Even so, the time he stayed behind was also not long. Dendi wouldn't participate in the Elite Tournament. Truthfully speaking, he had something to say about Marzu and the rest participating in it. They were already so "old" and yet they had gone to snatch the limelight of their juniors. However the significance of the team battle was different. What was most important was that this was an opportunity for ranking various countries within the Elite Academy.
He was not the only one who had returned. There were also several others who had also returned. These people were like Dendi who belonged to the "half-graduated' stage. They had not entered Earth Grade and were missing just a little. They could just choose to graduate at this moment. However, they felt unsatisfied about it. This was because they would have a greater chance of entering Earth Grade with the help of the Elite Academy. Therefore, they had been studying in school while executing some missions.
This team battle selection had another significance and that would be the chance for them to forge a bright future if they performed outstandingly.
If they couldn't enter Earth Grade, they would still have to graduate. However, what would be their position after graduating?
If they could demonstrate leadership capabilities in this Academy's project, and more important earned glory for their countries, their position when they returned to their countries would definitely be different.
Most of the masters wouldn't wish to just be the edge of a knife.
This was the reason for Dendi and the rest's return. Either they entered Earth Grade or they won the championship.
They knew how strong Marzu was. Although Marzu had enrolled later than them, the team battle wasn't about individual. Moreover practically, Marzu did not possess any overwhelming power over them.
At this level, no one was a weakling.
Dendi had come personally to invite Vincent to join Manalasuo.
As someone from Manalasuo, Vincent naturally knew about Dendi's existence. He also knew that this was a real senior in the Academy and he would probably had to graduate in just a year time.
Dendi's physique was tall and strong. He was 1. 9m in height and had a balanced body shaped. He also had a mature look throughout his body.
"Senior, why are you looking for me?" Dendi was smiling as he scrutinised the members of the Saruman Snake battle team who were conducting physical training.
"Vincent, the Eagle battle team needs you."
Vincent could feel the pressure. Initially, he could disregard those who had looked for him. However Dendi was truly a senior and someone well known in Manalasuo. With him requesting perosonally, Vincent couldn't just reject him on the spot.
"Senior Dendi, our Eagle battle team has too many talents..."
"Hehe, our Manalasuo truly does not lack in talents. However, you should know about the situation with regards to the Academy's objectives and everyone's hopes. Manalasuo needs you in the Attacker position. Moreover, I can only stay in the Academy for another year. I feel that only you could succeed in the captain's position." Dendi said.
He had taken time to understand Vincent and had specially seen Vincent's Golden Wheel. Therefore, Dendi had made a personal trip. Manalasuo was also a country who did things with vigour and moved rapidly. Although Vincent was still raw and tender now, he would definitely become someone great if Dendi could personally train him for a year. He was a leader that Manalasuo needed to have.
Truthfully speaking, Vincent had become much more humble after coming to the Elite Academy. He had not expected Dendi to see him so highly and felt a little agitated at the moment.
"In fact, there is another more important reason. I feel that Saruman Snake battle team would only burden you. Up till now, I have not heard of a team without unity succeeding. You have to understand that every year in the Elite Academy is very precious"
Said Dendi with a faint smile.
Vincent had gone silent. The situation of Saruman Snake battle team was a little awkward now. There were many reasons that contributed to Lear's combined team being selected. For example, he was from Black Tortoise Region and with the strong addition of the Mayans. However, Saruman Snake didn't have such an advantage.
"Senior, I had promised Wang Zheng and the rest that we would fight together. As a mechanic, I have to be responsible for my words. Moreover, I believe that we would definitely get that last slot!" said Vincent seriously.
Dendi smiled."Let me speak with Wang Zheng."
Wang Zheng understood the situation quickly. Wang Zheng looked at Dendi who was in front of him. The feeling this guy gave him was similar to Marzu. He was a real master and different from Heaven and Old Zhuo. On this person, there was a burning will and power that couldn't be found on Heaven and Old Zhuo. This was the power of youth. Youth was everything.
"Captain Wang Zheng, I do not want Vincent to go back on his words because of me. However, I also do not hope he would waste his time here. Therefore I have a suggestion. Our Eagle battle team challenges Saruman Snake battle team to a match. If we win, Vincent has to leave the Saruman Snake battle team. If you win, I would not raise such an issue in the future."
Laughed Dendi. The suggestion was reasonable logically. At the same time, it was filled with oppression."Obviously for fairness, I wouldn't take part in this battle. What do you think about it?"
The strength of the Eagle battle team was clearly stronger than Saruman Snake battle team. Dendi was worried that the other party wouldn't accept the challenge. Vincent was undoubtedly important to this battle team.
Wang Zheng smiled faintly."Since senior has such a great suggestion, I would naturally agree to it. Obviously for fairness, I would also not participate in this battle."
Dendi was stunned. He knew that freshmen would be a little arrogant. However... this Wang Zheng was too arrogant!
"Decisive! That would settle things then. 8pm tomorrow night!." Smiled Dendi."Vincent, let's use practical things to decide whether it would be worth it!"
Dendi left. Vincent was feeling more worried. He was from Manalasuo and knew about the situation with Manalasuo. It was especially so as the battle team was now complete. With the uniting factor of Dendi, Manalasuo was also one of the teams that had the strength to become the champion.
"Wang Zheng, if you do not participate, we have almost no chance of winning!" Takumi said. If Vincent left, this team would truly be in a worrying state. The Grizzly Federation was also considered to be smaller by others and there weren't many people. He didn't have the same problem as Vincent.
Wang Zheng shook his head."Achilles, we will be depending on you for this match. Our Saruman Snake battle team isn't inferior to any other teams!"
Achilles was truly stunned. Since joining the Saruman Snake battle team, Wang Zheng had asked him to become the vice captain. However, Achilles had rejected him. Truthfully speaking, others didn't acknowledge him. It was especially so as he was still just a failure.
Frankly speaking, Achilles didn't know why he found it hard to dislike Wang Zheng. He was clearly his competitor but he had to be convinced now. With this magnanimity and trust, it would be worthwhile for him to come to him.
Coming to this place was definitely not an ending but just a beginning.
Achilles revealed a confident smile."We are very strong!"
"Saruman Snake battle team isn't as loose and inattentive as the Fiery Moon battle team. At the same time, we have Vincent who is familiar with the Manalasuo's style."
This match was important for everyone.
Wang Zheng felt conviction. He needed such a battle to merge the Saruman Snake battle team to a single entity. At the same time, it was to invoke them to release all their strength.
There was another significance to this battle. If the Saruman Snake battle team could win without him participating in it, this would significantly increase the chances for Saruman Snake to be selected.
For the following time, the rest were discussing their strategies. As for Wang Zheng, he acted like it didn't concern him at all and allowed Achilles to fully perform.
Milo was the one who was the most concerned. Over the past few days, Achilles was in fact loitering around the edge of outside the team. There were no other solutions. It would be hard for someone who had always been the core of everything to suddenly change. Moreover, he also didn't know how to become part of the team. It wasn't as simple as getting on the good books of others. Yet Wang Zheng had created such a situation. Once they lost, Vincent would have to leave the team and the Saruman Snake battle team would be equivalent to being finished.
However if they won, everything would be reversed.
Practically speaking, this was also the best opportunity. It was just that it would be hard for ordinary people to be as daring and resolute as Wang Zheng.
Considering the intense competition now, Saruman Snake battle team wasn't the only team that was preparing fervently. The teams that had already qualified included Hocatolin's Royal battle team, Marzu' and Olivios' Asura battle team. It seemed that Marzu was still relatively more humble and had at least used Olivio' team' name. As to how the other teams would handle such a power team, no one really knew. The reason why the Academy had organised team battles was not because for any country. It was for the entire Milky Way Alliance. This had formed the basis of the competition.
Other teams included Dynasty battle team led by Lear, Eagle battle team led by Dendi and Star Lya battle team led by Pampas. Star Lya was a combined team from Lya Sphinx and Norton Star. This would greatly increase their competitiveness and they would at least qualify for a slot. It was a brilliant decision.
