Tempest of the Stellar War

Ai Xiaolu officially entered the busy period. With the top sixteen being set, it also signified that future opponents were about to appear. All the major battle teams entered a short period of rest and reorganisation. There would be a lot of information needed, not just for the Saruman Snake battle team, but also for Aishi Financial Group’s growth and self-training. Such experiences, especially participating in the process of affecting the outcomes, were something that most people would never be able to experience. And these experiences brought to Ai Xiaolu were very important.

Their time as students was undoubtedly great, but there will come a day where they need to take the step out to face the world. Even if they were looking from Ai Xiaolu’s circumstances, she still had a small, indescribable sentiment inside of her, and was not too excited. Luo Er was different. In comparison, Luo Er was filled with fighting spirit for the future. What she had learnt needed to be utilized in society. On the other hand, Ai Xiaolu had already experienced many commercial battles a long time ago. Having seen and experienced it before, there was really no meaning. Everything had originated from ** but there was no way of stopping, as once they stopped, they would be eaten. She had chosen to leave the world of finance, and chosen Elite Academy X for the sake of escaping. It could be obtained, but what should they fight like this for?

When they were young, it was to receive praise, for vanity, but happiness was easily lost. Right now, she had another reason: rekindling her fire.

Luo Er would not be able to help with it. Luo Er had quite a number of people under her involved in every area of politics. It would be troublesome for them to be assigned to extremely principled matters, but it would be slightly convenient and a walk in the park as their collaboration was successful in every endeavor. To put it straight, the collaboration between the two held almost the same weight as Aina.

“Luo Er, how’s the situation on your side? Did Kashawen make any moves?”

“Do you take me as all-powerful? That is Aslan’s Prime Minister. At present, there are no traces. It feels like she will not be anxious until the finals. Recently, Aslan’s public relations have been incredible; it seems that they have very high hopes for the parliament seat,” Luo Er stated.

“How confident is your dad?” Ai Xiaolu knew that this matter was very critical to Ryan. The ratio of the parliamentary seat would ultimately affect his future run for the election of parliament speaker.

Although Ryan was balanced, it was clear that the benefits of the small and weak alliances that he represented was not exactly in line with the enormous empires’ requirements. Originally, they wanted him to just give an act, but in the end, Ryan had fully displayed his strength. In addition to Gemini Star’s innately decent foundation, it had formed a tremendous political power within the Milky Way Alliance. Like the issue with Titatitan Star, it was just the tip of the iceberg. It had been said that it was impossible for Aslan to take action on Ryan. There was competition everywhere, and they would need to prepare for a rainy day.

Destroying Aslan’s plans would also be in accordance to Luo Er’s needs, it would just be up to whether the Saruman Snake battle team could make it to the top.

“Oh, right, let me tell you about an interesting matter. It is of level S.” Luo Er chuckled.

“Oh?” Ai Xiaolu went blank for a second. Information of this level was not easily accessible, at the very least not for the Aishi Financial Group. This was the difference, this was a secret that would be hard to access even with more money.

“The interstellar exploration team that we sent out has been completely wiped out.”

Ai Xiaolu wrinkled her eyebrows. How was this level S. “Wait, you mean that fleet?”

“That’s right. The most critical part is that a photo was sent back right before the fleet disappeared. They seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. I’m not very sure of the specifics, but you can think of possibilities,” Luo Er mentioned.

Ai Xiaolu nodded her head. This matter seemed completely unrelated, but if they could seize it properly, it would be the Milky Way Alliance’s market’s trump card.

They had to at least mentally prepare, but it was just that their current important mission was to take down SIG.

Wang Zheng and the rest did not idle around either. They had defeated the Dark Knight battle team and also entered recovery training. Wang Zheng had been continuously fusing the Primordial Regression Technique and his own Five Elements together. Since the moment he understood the essence of the Five Elements, it had also caused him to gain a new understanding of martial techniques. From realisation to actual combat effectiveness, there was still a certain amount of change to be made. However, it was already different. For example, a wind wall. If it were purely of the wind element, it would be a dead end, but the wind wall of the Five Elements was not really wind. It was a barrier used specially to counter Ability X. Such progress would be unimaginable to outsiders.

Wang Zheng was controlling. He had to control it and not let himself get overly excited. The closer he got to this stage, the more he had to hold steady. Those show-off actions were made only for outsiders to see. He needed to keep calm inside, and at the same time, adjust his condition. If he exploded too early, it could be dangerous.

At Wang Zheng’s current level, he had already confirmed who his opponents were. Of course, the possibility of hidden experts could not be ruled out. Luo Fei was not counted. Luo Fei’s abilities had appeared, but regardless of how Lear hid it or whether there were weaknesses, these were not important. Luo Fei was not his opponent. This had nothing to do with his strength, it was his inherent instincts, which Lear was unable to change. At least now, this had yet to be thoroughly changed.

Aslan’s Lin Feng, Soulless’ Aragorn, Atlantis’ Dina Atlas and Maya’s Matt Locatelli. These four all held skills not inferior to his, and not to mention their teams’ capabilities. Wang Zheng could feel it. If there were no attacks from other factors, Wang Zheng believed that he himself would be victorious. He had high confidence in that at the very least. But this was SG, where there were too many external factors. If he wanted to triumph over them, he would need to become stronger himself, just a bit more!

Wang Zheng’s gaze burned brightly in the dark. Confidence was for others to see. He had to have faith that he would be undefeated. However, he himself knew the opponents’ strength, especially as there was no clear background information on the few of them. Even if Ai Xiaolu had investigated, only the tip of the iceberg would be found. Owing to the Greatest King Competition, with the addition of being tried by quite a number of people in the qualifiers, no matter how confident Wang Zheng was, he could feel that he could only be victorious through surprises. The only thing that he was confident that could not be deciphered was the Atomic Bomb, but this was a move that could greatly harm his own self almost as much as it could harm his opponents. As for the rest, he had no absolute certainty. But this was in situations where he controlled the flow. Once the opponent grasped control of the rhythm, it would be hard.

In terms of mech, it was an Achilles’ heel. The Sword Shield Rose battle team, Atlantis, and Maya’s mech skills were honestly stronger than that of the other teams by a bit. Although mecha were not absolutes, when the gap between abilities was not large, the advantages of their functions would be extremely fatal.

Old Merchant had often said that intelligence determined success or failure, but there were times where brute force should be relied on.

On the second day, all the members had received the top sixteen battle roster:

1. Soulless battle team (Arbiter Republic) and Imperial Glory battle team (Elite Academy X)

The unfamiliar old leaders’, Arbiter and Aslan’s, battle. This would also be the first strong battle. Would Aragorn be able to uphold Arbiter’s name, or would the genius Di Maria be able to defend Aslan’s glory? From the looks of the current accomplishments and performances, the Soulless battle team seemed to hold a certain advantage.

2. Dynasty battle team (Elite Academy X) and Gravity battle team (Gemini Star)

Lear was undoubtedly being underestimated, but the lot he had chosen was not bad. Although the Gravity battle team had entered the top sixteen, they were not one of the strongest teams. If the opponent could be suppressed by martial techniques, the Dynasty battle team would be sixty percent assured of success.

3. Child of Light battle team (Maya Empire) and Demonic Dragon battle team (Earthworm Federation)

The Mayans’ performances had been unbreakable. The members’ use of light energy this time had been beyond the imaginable, raising Mayan civilisation to the same level as Atlantis. As for the Demonic Dragon battle team, for the Earthworm Federation to be able to enter top sixteen, their mission had been completed. The probability of the Mayans’ victory would be ninety percent.

4. Saruman Snake battle team (Elite Academy X) and Golden Wheel battle team (Manalasuo)

It was unquestionably a tough fight, a challenge again for Wang Zheng. Jondi Lilick’s abilities were without a doubt good and both their prestiges were identical. The critical part would be on their performance. Based on grandeur, the Saruman Snake battle team would have a slight lead.

5. Sword Shield Rose Rider battle team (Aslan) and Radiance battle team (Versailles Empire)

Lin Feng’s battle team and Aslan’s trump card. Although the Radiance battle team was strong, it felt like they would still be unable to stop the Sword Shield Rose Rider battle team’s advancement. The Sword Shield Rose Rider battle team had a success rate of ninety percent.

6. Zero Degrees battle team (Hail Cloud Alliance) and Fiery Bear battle team (Great Bear Federation)

This would be a battle with not much difference between abilities. The Zero Degrees battle team had a slight upper hand, but ultimately, it would be depend on the two teams’ performances.

7. Sea Queen battle team (Atlantis Empire) and Steel battle team (Arbiter Republic)

The clash between two strong teams. The people of Atlantis and Arbiter would finally meet, Mars colliding with Earth. Regardless of who won, it would be how it ought to be.

8. Harbinger battle team (Heaven’s Arrow Federation) and Military Officer School battle team (Aslan Empire)

Aslan’s Military Officer School had the upper hand. For the Harbinger battle team, to have entered the top sixteen, they had already completed their task.
