Tempest of the Stellar War

In the battle of the top sixteen, the opponent Saruman Snake would face off were the Dark Knight battle team of the Darkness Empire.

Many people were investigating the follow-up of Luo Fei yesterday, but without avail. Luo Fei was usually mysterious. Generally, such prominence could only be credited to Wang Zheng. Yet, Luo Fei’s sudden rise to such prominence was indeed the most celebrated. The ordinary members were very curious. Luo Fei was nowhere to be found in a time where he should lead the charge. Luo Fei did not even appear in the audience. The Dynasty battle team were also expressionless.

Many people suspected that Luo Fei was injured and was being treated in the hospital. However, Luo Fei’s name was not on the treatment list provided by the SIG. Some people also investigated other surrounding hospitals. In order to protect Luo Fei’s ability, Lear may have transferred him elsewhere. But this was not the case. Which meant that Luo Fei was still in his room.

Zhou Yun and the others had already lost their usual composure. Lear was still his usual self. Zhou Yun and the others had gone to look for Luo Fei. They felt it was time to change their attitudes and showed their loyalty. However, what they saw was how Luo Fei was being treated by Lear.

This very person who had made a great contribution to the Dynasty battle team was treated like a dog, kicked aside by Lear. The only reason that he was unable to go to the hospital was to ensure his secrets would not be exposed.

Yet Lear intentionally showed this to the trio, including Zhou Yun.

He wanted to teach this trio a lesson – if they were not his “friends”, they would be his enemies, to say the least.

The three of them finally understood that their so-called supplant was just child’s play. Lear was a bona fide ruthless person. He would prefer it if everyone was betrayed by him, instead of him being betrayed by everyone. That was the reason why he was the candidate for the Son of Saint instead if the others.

Wanted to withdraw? That would make you an enemy because you already knew too much.

Likewise, to serve Lear, you needed to be useful. Otherwise, you would be disposed of. Luo Fei had served under Lear for the longest time. Zhou Yun and the rest used to think that Lear was sentimental. The three felt that everything was subverted at that moment. Especially when Lear had kicked him out with determination and without hesitation.

Under such circumstances, if Luo Fei was unable to withstand it, he would surely have gone demented. Death would have been better; it would have been a living hell.

Satisfying Lear was the only goal in Luo Fei’s mind going to the second stage. That was why he couldn’t care less about the consequences. This approach of “swallowing” would eventually kill him.

Lear had not done anything, yet Zhuo Yun and the rest were already very obedient. They needed to prove their worth to Lear. Otherwise, unless Lear was dead, they would have a tough time in the Saint Sect. A rebel would not deserve a good end.

The Dark Knight battle team led by González was also one of the top ten battle teams. The rise of the Darkness Empire was amazing. They had also received much attention in this competition.

But all the captains knew that González had lost to Wang Zheng with his tail tucked between his legs. But the people of Darkness Empire did not care. The spoils go to the victor – such a simple principle.

Saruman Snake: Wang Zheng, Achilles, Lie Xin, and Snow Li.

Dark Knight: González, Matonna, Dows, Leland, Sherman.

Not to mention Ghost King González. Words about his battle with Wang Zheng at the qualifier did not spread. As captains, none of them were gossipers. Besides, there was still a vast difference between a qualifying match and the actual match.

However, looking at the line-up of Saruman Snake, Wang Zheng would play a key role in the team. Together with the all-rounded Achilles, with his state and ability to see the overall situation, especially his cool-headedness. As the vice-captain, he was genuinely at the core of the command, making it a problem for all. The tank Mu Zheng was already a mainstay of SIG, having lost his position to Vincent and benched for a long time. The scout positions were filled by Zhang Shan and Lie Xin. The sniper position was the only position that was a little vulnerable. It was filled by the genius girl, Snow Li, who had not had enough opportunities to demonstrate her skills. This position was not really required according to Saruman Snake’s current style. But tactics were just tactics. In truth, no matter the combat style, the eventual winner would be the one who played to the extreme.

Compatibility was the best.

Saruman Snake truly possessed this aura now. González and the rest had noticeably prepared long and hard for this, investigating every member of Saruman Snake. When facing Saruman Snake, do not be pretentious – no one was qualified to be.

The first round was of utmost importance. Battles of the forwards generally determined the course of the competition.

Competitors from both teams entered the arena.

Representing the Dark Knight battle team – González!

Everyone was stunned. It seemed passable on second thought. This was because no one was confident challenging Wang Zheng. Not everyone was ruthless. Most of the people competed for the sake of victory. González, nonetheless, had a certain level of success against Achilles. Besides, González had yet to reveal his Ability X. A gravity ability was like tiger balm, relying more on IQ. In a head-to-head confrontation, it would not be as lethal.

At least González did not care

However, representing Saruman Snake in the first round was… Wang Zheng.

Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er laughed happily. They guessed that González would never be hard-nosed. There was no lack of antagonists, but there were only five people who dared to challenge Wang Zheng. Unlike Achilles, Wang Zheng was a warrior. He yearned for powerful battles, just as he yearned to battle Luo Fei, who was at the peak of his game.

Wang Zheng would be less interested if this ability appeared from Lear. Even if Lear was strong, it would be repulsive. However, Wang Zheng would long for a gratifying battle if it appeared from Luo Fei. Not everyone would be fortunate enough to choose his own path. Therefore, it would give Wang Zheng great pleasure to be able to see such a matchup.

González’s expression changed slightly. He did not expect this possibility. However, he still felt that Wang Zheng would seek stability. Yet they still met.

His techniques were better than Wang Zheng’s. This, González was very confident of. However, Wang Zheng possessed some unusual techniques. But the techniques would be dented during mech battles, resulting in the battle of Ability Xs. Wang Zheng’s techniques were not outstanding. The primary objective in the five elements – fire, ice, and wind, as well as compound ability – was to increase lethality. It would not be as difficult to defend as Luo Fei and Di Maria’s Ability Xs, which were also hard battle-types.

Honestly, what Wang Zheng was skilled at had been scrutinized by many people. He would rely on the landslide and the revolving shovel as his main winning technique. The ice-fire combo was his greatest trump card. However, this ability required time. In other words, if his opponent did not allow him the time, or was able to seize the opportunity, the outcome would be completely different.

A person was bound to break under constant scrutiny no matter how powerful they were. Some habits were unbeknownst to themselves, but not their enemies.

The person who would know you most profoundly in this world would most definitely be your enemy.
