Chapter 1021
The frame froze on the Slayer’s last attack, confident and stable .
In truth, faced with Atlantis’ runic shield technology that was revealed for the first time, no one knew how to beat it, including Wang Zheng . Only one who was truly strong could remain confident when faced with a problem, and maintain an indomitable attitude .
The extremely draining movements compounded with the burst shots, rendered ineffective again and again . Anyone else would have started to doubt themselves after three failures, and given up after five failed attempts . Those who persevered 10 times were monsters, and Wang Zheng had actually done 20 . Until the opponent crumbled .
Such perseverance was the most unnerving .
This was a warrior’s soul .
Inner strength was the real might .
The Greatest King made Wang Zheng famous . Everyone around the world knew this young man called Wang Zheng . But his background was ordinary and unremarkable . He was just a young man from Ares College . He had moved step by step from IG to Elite Academy X, and finally gained glory .
Saruman Snake battle team would undoubtedly celebrate . The good times in life must be enjoyed, and one should relax when the time called for it . This was, of course, orchestrated by Ai Xiaolu . Miss Ai was over the moon . To Ai Xiaolu, who was disinclined to believe in miracles, this had been unreal .
Saruman Snake’s members, as well as members’ friends and family . This time, there was no fear that not enough people would come . There were too many who wanted to come . Not just these, but there was a whole horde of classmates who would want to come .
They might have been gilding the lily, but at this joyous time, they should celebrate happily .
Staying up through the night was compulsory, and the school would not care either . These youngsters should be allowed to relax . This Greatest King had ended wonderfully because of Wang Zheng’s appearance . It was a realization of this competition’s purpose . Now the galaxy needed to awaken the potential of the mighty, and at the same time demonstrate battle team battles . Of course, battle team battles did not mean that the individual was ignored . The battle team was made up of individuals . One had to choose well between individual potential and individual sacrifice – that was the message that Elite Academy X wanted to impart to every student .
Pampas and Dendi had received invitations as well, and both came . Although neither battle team was counted as a success score-wise, the entire process had been a valuable experience, and they had made many fast friends .
The entire night Wang Zheng was drinking . He could not refuse . In the end, student Wang would definitely go home lying down . Even God could not quell the volume that these brothers quaffed .
The next day, Saruman Snake’s members would sleep until the sun roasted their backsides . The accumulated stress and fatigue were all released in one go .
Wang Zheng woke up and looked at the warm sunlight streaming through the window, quietly savoring the peace . He knew that others might savor the experience for a long time more, but to him, the Greatest King competition was over . In this battle, his improvement and baptism had been of utmost importance . Especially through this process, he had been at a loss and filled with doubt . But in the end, he had made the correct call, and his teammates had backed him up .
Now, everyone thought that Wang Zheng was too awesome . He was not just individually awesome, but he could motivate a battle team, and believe in them . To have such a leader was a blessing for any member .
But what others did not know were Wang Zheng’s own doubts and struggles . At times, he had felt their lineup was helpless . More than once he had been tempted to go at it alone . But after agonizing over it, he understood something . He must learn to believe: otherwise, the Saruman Snake battle team would not be where it was today .
Being racked with doubt was an experience that everyone had to go through . But as long as one persisted, regardless of the result, in the end one could turn back and face everything with a smile .
A new day was beginning .
Student Wang went to class like normal . Battles were battles . Actually, many classes at Elite Academy X covered a wide range of topics . And the professors’ standards were recognized . Even if they were not world class, they were still excellent . For example, psychological control, facial control, and other such small tricks . These things had no direct relation to battle, but were widely relevant .
Only now Wang Zheng was completely different from before . Almost everyone he passed smiled at him . Of course, even at Elite Academy X’s level, there was no one who was on Wang Zheng’s level .
The Greatest King’s power was too awesome . Babes he passed made eyes at him and blew kisses . It was normal now .
It was not just Wang Zheng . The Saruman Snake battle team members were the same . Before defeating Aslan and Arbiter, they would be getting all kinds of rude comments, but that was normal . Imperial Glory and Asura had accumulated their wins until now, and it was natural to be popular . There was no reason that a new battle team should be more popular than them . Being questioned was part of the path to success . But as long as one could stand the pressure and eventually triumph, then the reward would be multifold .
Fame followed merit in this Greatest King Competition, and no one would doubt their value . If it were not for Arbiter and Aslan’s all out, this Greatest King moniker would not have the meaning that it had now .
In the next few days of class, Wang Zheng was exasperated . His normal life was indeed interrupted, but he could handle it fine . Once he entered study mode, those stray thoughts disappeared .
Zhang Shan was handling it fairly well also, perhaps even better than Wang Zheng . Zhang Shan accepted all followers, but resumed his usual state during class and training . This was a personality thing, although it was rumored that Student Zhang Shan recently had a new target . He seemed to be chasing… Sweeney .
As for Zhang Shan’s companions, they had nothing to say besides that the kid liked a real challenge!
Everyone’s lives had changed . Saruman Snake had changed as well . Vincent and the rest had gradually become the new face of Elite Academy X . During the practical training, he became a role model .
But the one who changed the most was Mu Zhen . Tita Star did not have the resources of Atlantis or Maya, and the giants did not have that kind of intellect . To Mu Zhen, fighting was not the problem . The difficult thing was getting along with humans .
“Hungry?” Wang Zheng smiled . It was already noon .
Mu Zhen nodded honestly, receiving the food and laying into it heartily . It was evident that Mu Zhen’s mind was on the battle .
“Ada, so many people want to be friends now . I’m tired . ” Mu Zhen rubbed his head . Recently, Mu Zhen had been hiding . He did not know how to deal with all this .
Wang Zheng smiled . “Mu Zhen, human speech is just for formality and courtesy . The most important thing is that you don’t need to change humankind . While you learn and understand, just focus on yourself, and be true to yourself . ”
“Ada, do you mean I can stay in the dorm and not go out?” Mu Zhen happily asked .
Wang Zheng was taken aback . Er…
“Keke, Mu Zhen, that’s a choice, but it’s running away . You forget that you represent the Tita people here . You have to bravely accept new things . That’s the mark of a warrior . You’re not just in Elite Academy X, but also in the heart of the Milky Way Alliance: Roland Garros . You should get out more, just like on Titatitan . Roam the streets, eat out, make new friends . Let more people know about Titatitan and the Tita people . ”
This was the real reason why Mu Sen had let Mu Zhen follow Wang Zheng and leave Titatitan, and the real purpose of entering Elite Academy X . It was something that Wang Zheng could not help with . This step had to be taken by a Tita person, Mu Zhen, for it to be meaningful .
And Mu Zhen could not follow him around like a child .
A light breeze wafted over . The leaves rustled . Wang Zheng looked at Mu Zhen’s forlorn form and smiled . “There’s a battle mech course tomorrow . You can follow me for that . Besides that, there’s a warship navigation segment . You go by yourself for that . Try making some human friends . ”
Mu Zhen smiled happily . He had been worried that he was a nuisance .
Ai Ruifen was a long distance away, looking at the pair under the tree .
One was her idol – Wang Zheng! Saruman Snake’s captain . He was so handsome, swoon-level handsome . His casual gaze had such a sharp look to it . As expected of the almighty demon Wang Zheng!
The other was the target she was interested in . The Tita tank simpleton, Mu Zhen!
