Chapter 822: Clearer and Better

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Lie Xin leaving the team and joining Lear’s Dynasty battle team was the last step to defeating Achilles. Sometimes, external competition was nowhere as intense as internal competition.

Without Lie Xin, the Fiery Moon would have lost its meaning. The most crucial thing was that Lie Xin had joined Lear’s battle team. This was a complete rejection of what Achilles had done.

Milo also didn’t know how to console Achilles. She knew how proud Achilles was and his dreams. Milo was willing to give up everything for him. However after entering the Elite Academy, Milo could clearly feel that she couldn’t keep up with the pace. In the Solar System, Milo’s strength was definitely among the top tier. However once she was here, her standard might be just enough to be a support of reserve. She wasn’t capable enough to take up the position as a main member. There were too many geniuses in Elite Academy. Sometimes the harder she worked, the more helpless she felt.

“Milo, am I not a failure?” Achilles mocked himself. “Are the glory days of the Moon gone and never to return?”

He clearly had individual strength and clearly had persevered. However, he could only watch helplessly as he got further and further away from his goals. Achilles had originally thought that Lie Xin might join Wang Zheng’s battle team. This was still within what he could accept. However, Lie Xin had joined Lear.

As a girl, Milo was actually able to understand. Lie Xin joining the Dynasty battle team was probably not because she could accept Lear. Sometimes, she just wanted to escape from something. Unfortunately, those closely involved in it often could not see as clear as those outsiders. No matter what the reasons were, this was still a blow to Achilles.

“Achilles, the ancestor of Heavenly King Family, Lilan Gallos, had a saying. What doesn’t break you is bound to make you stronger. All along, the biggest problem with the Moon was the lack of setbacks. Or put it in other words, we couldn’t withstand failures.” said Milo. “There’s another weakness and that is we have always felt that we are high above others and aren’t willing to lower ourselves. No matter if it was Wang Zheng and Lear, they had never thought of themselves as something. Wang Zheng might have done it from the bottom of his heart while Lear probably was faking it. Nonetheless, the results were the same. In the Milky Way Alliance now, only though this way could we move ahead step by step.” said Milo.

“If we stop moving, our future would be even bleaker. Since Lie Xin has made her choice, why don’t we make our choice too?”

“Choice?” Achilles was stunned.

“Yeah!” Milo suddenly realized the crux all along. “When they are in a weaker position, the people from Earth would always choose to go into concealment while continuing to learning and waiting for an opportunity. This is something that we from the Moon or Mars are often unable to do. Victories and losses are common for a soldier. I feel that with things at this point, we should learn from the strengths. Let’s join Wang Zheng’s Saruman Snake battle team!”

Achilles looked at Milo who was excited to the maximum. Joining Wang Zheng’s battle team...?

Would this mean that he had yielded?

“We must be willing to sacrifice and we can only make sacrifices!” said Milo.

... sacrifice...

With sacrifice then there would be gains. The reasoning was easy to understand. However, Achilles kept quiet for a long long time.

Finally, Achilles stood up and revealed a faint smile on his face. “Milo, thank you.”

Milo blinked her eyes. “Isn’t it more relaxing?”

“Sometimes taking a step would make things clearer and better. From another perspective, we might have even more freedom.”

“In that case, let me handle it.”

“No, since I have made the decision, let me do it by myself.” said Achilles. Since he had let go, the so-called reputation and vanity weren’t that important and he didn’t have the need to make Milo do it.

“Oh right, I feel that since we are going to cooperate, we could actually give Wang Zheng a gift.” Milo suddenly recalled something.

“You can handle the rest.”

Achilles nodded his head. He could either bemoan his fall or continue charging ahead. Achilles didn’t want to turn back.

After understanding the allocation of roles in Lear’s current team, especially with the addition of Lie Xin, the strength of Dynasty battle team was truly very strong. In addition, it was also one of the favourites. Students had their own thoughts while the Professors also had theirs. The main thing was Black Tortoise Region was lacking such a strong battle team. Therefore, Lear’s Dynasty battle team naturally had a favourable impression to the Professors of Black Tortoise Region, who had given the green light in various aspects. After all, Professors also had their pride. They wouldn’t be satisfied if they kept remaining at the bottom.

The conditions regarding team battles in the Academy were finally released.

The Academy would be selecting eight teams with the highest standards among all the current battle teams to undergo a round robin match. The winning side would receive three points. At the same time, the country that each main member of the battle team represented would receive one point while the captain would receive three points. These accumulated points for their respective countries might contribute to the privileges in recruitment or preferential treatment for that country in other aspects.

What this meant was that battle team could earn honour for their own country.

It was especially so for those countries with relatively weaker strength as they now had more opportunities. Superpowers like Aslan, Arbiter or Manalasuo wouldn’t need it. However, multinational teams like Dynasty battle team and Saruman Snake battle team had suddenly become popular.

These were the trial rules set for the battle team in Elite Academy and would be further improved in the future. Nonetheless the importance of battle team had been shifted to the day’s schedule.

However to ensure the standards, for the battles in the Academy, the first stage would only select the most outstanding eight teams for the competition for the entire school to watch.

Currently, the number of official and non-official battle teams in the Academy was over a hundred. Practically, only eight teams would have such qualifications and those that possessed such competitiveness for a spot would at most be about 20 teams.

All the teams that wished to participate in this Battle Team Tournament could submit their application to the Academy and the Academy’s Professors would give their assessment after considering various aspects.

For this semester, the main thing was for a trial run. A faint smile appeared at the side of Lear’s mouth. Sometimes, fate was just so fun. Dynasty battle team was definitely one of the most famous battle team now and its strength was rather breathtaking. With the notice out at this point, Dynasty battle team would definitely qualify. Moreover in the Black Tortoise Region, Dynasty battle team was the only team that possessed strong battle prowess. Therefore the Professors would definitely support the Dynasty battle team. Just when everyone would be fighting for their lives to get in, he basically had qualified.

With the addition of Lie Xin, Dynasty battle team had more choices. Luo Fei the fatty might be rather good in controlling but sometimes his movements was too indecisive. Lear wasn’t thinking about the weak teams but if he was to meet teams like Arbiter, Luo Fei might not be too suitable. If the two teams were to meet on a narrow path, the stronger team would win. When facing Arbiter, one had to be tougher than them. Lear had not reached the point where he would get dizzy with success because of one failure of the Asura battle team. There wasn’t any technical content in that match. Olivios had his motives while he had his too. They were just getting what they wanted.

There would definitely be a team from Aslan and Arbiter qualifying or even teams. What Lear was more interested now was if Wang Zheng’s slugfest would allow it to squeeze into the limited slots available.
