Chapter 982: Lost One’s mind

There was no winning formula, but the confidence was still there.

Even in the eyes of Ai Xiaolu and the rest, the Greatest King competition was still high end and awe-inspiring. However, Wang Zheng, who had undergone the baptism of war, had already entered a different realm.

There was definitely a challenge here. With the unfathomable Marzu and that strange ability of Di Maria, if one was careless, it might result in a complete collapse. However, Wang Zheng had faced too many similar situations. With IG as the start, the path he had crossed could be considered to be filled with dangers all along. He had experienced too many incidents, and this had helped him in building up a big heart that could withstand stress.

He didn’t have feelings of anxiousness. On the contrary, what he felt more was anticipation. He looked forward to his opponents giving him more surprises.

After sending Ai Xiaolu off, Wang Zheng closed the door. Every night, he would practice a round of the Primordial Regression Technique, as usual. This had already become a habit. He wondered if Achilles was the same too. Such breathing regulations were very important in adjusting one’s body condition and mental state.

When it came to ability, what was important was the quality and not the quantity. This was the requirement for an ordinary ability user. Messy and disordered abilities could easily result in the body being disillusioned or couldn’t demonstrate its prowess at all.

However, when things reached an extreme, they could also move in the opposite direction. Once one had mastered a skill to a certain level, he would have to undergo a major transformation. It was easier for multi-ability users to achieve a breakthrough, as they had more directions of development after all. Such users could easily feel improvements. However, it would be hard for them to raise their overall battle ability. Wang Zheng had now reached this stage after all this time.

For the power of Ice, Wang Zheng felt that it was rather simple. However, his control had reached Earth-rank and the ability’s rank had reached B-rank middle-grade. For this ability, Wang Zheng was more inclined towards concentrated explosiveness or adding it to combination ability.

For the power of Fire, it could be considered to be the weakest of the three abilities. It had reached the low grade of B-rank. In terms of realm, it hadn’t reached Earth-rank and was mainly used to coordinate his battles. Nonetheless, the power was sufficient too.

The power of Wood(Wind) was a gift from the battle on Tita Star. Wang Zheng could almost not feel any pain currently. At the same time, he didn’t have a sense of taste. When eating, he basically couldn’t differentiate the flavors too much. However, Wang Zheng didn’t regret it at all. If he had to make the decision again, he would still do it without hesitation. As for why Bonehead had taken away these senses, Wang Zheng had no idea. Nonetheless, it didn’t matter. In this world, in order to get something, there would always be a price.

From the Wind, Lightning was something that Wang Zheng had derived. Its might had reached B-rank middle-grade and his level of understanding had also reached Earth-rank. Although he had barely made it, it was still sufficient.

In other words, Wang Zheng was an Earth-rank Ability X user now. Although his mastery wasn’t enough yet, he could fuse Ice, Fire, and Wind together. This combination attack was definitely domineering. Obviously, what Wang Zheng had to do was strengthen the success rate during practical battles.

If there weren’t any disturbances, Wang Zheng basically was 80%-90% confident of completing it. However, when in battle, the stress and disturbances caused by his opponents would cause the success rate to be around 50%. The stronger his ability, the stronger the power he could utilize. At the same time, the difficulty would also increase. and it wouldn’t become easier just because the realm reached was higher.

To be able to reach Earth-rank in the second semester in Elite Academy couldn’t be considered as one and only. However, it was still just a small number of people who achieved it.

No matter if he were to face Marzu or Di Maria, Wang Zheng wasn’t afraid at all. If it was an individual competition, Wang Zheng was confident of sweeping them. However, what he faced now was team battle.

Based on overall strength, the Saruman Snake battle team was indeed at a disadvantage. This was the incontestable truth. However, the reasons why humans were humans was because of their conditions during a major battle. Zhang Shan was the type that excelled in major battles. In addition, this was something that he achieved himself. It was the same for Lie Xin too, but her emotions had to be incited. Wang Zheng had to give her some stimulus in the middle of a battle. As the captain, he had to not only know the strength of his teammates, but also their personalities.

Achilles was the only one that didn’t require others to tell him anything. He knew what he had to do and was the kind that needed to know what he had to do in order for him to be useful.

This was all thanks to Dendi, who had demonstrated the use of the Lighthouse Warrior. This had allowed Achilles to find his positioning within the Saruman Snake battle team.

The commander in the match!

It seemed that he was snatching away some of the limelight on Wang Zheng. However, there was chemistry between the two of them. This was the most suitable role for Achilles and for Wang Zheng too. Wang Zheng would control the bigger picture and direction while Achilles would command segmental battles.

This was the double brain lineup of the Saruman Snake battle team.

They had to have trust and chemistry for it to work.

If it was Lear, he would definitely not allow such things to happen. His authority within the Dynasty battle team was beyond doubt.

This was also why Lear couldn’t get Achilles and Lie Xin’s assistance.

At the same time, the challenge for Wang Zheng was that he had to constantly improve himself and demonstrate sufficient strength and awe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to contain Achilles and Lie Xin.

Till this stage, Wang Zheng wasn’t required to think about this question. After going through some things, he had grown to a certain height and his vision was different.

Wang Zheng had seen the information on Marzu. It wasn’t very detailed, but there was a difference between him and Olivios. Olivios was only a small section leader while participating in the regional warfare in Arbiter. However, for Marzu, he was already a platoon leader at that time.

The reason why Marzu had been keeping a low profile was because at his level, he didn’t have to fight with a bunch of kids for sweets.

However, if there was someone at his level, that would be a different scenario. He wouldn’t let Arbiter suffer such a disadvantage.

All Along, Marzu had thought that this person would come from Aslan. Surprisingly, he was from Earth. This was something he had not expected.

Di Maria was someone he definitely had to be careful of. Aslan wasn’t lacking in highly gifted talents. If this person could make it to where he was now, he was definitely not as casual as it seemed on the surface. No one would succeed by being casual with things. One could even say that this was a form of disguise.

However, Marzu could feel that this person still wasn’t good enough.

All along, Marzu had believed that Wang Zheng would be the best touchstone for Olivios. However, looking at things now, he had underestimated Wang Zheng a little. Or rather, he had underestimated Wang Zheng’s growth.

There was a type of person who could acclimatize and respond to his surroundings at an astonishing speed.

In the same war, what the participants of the war reaped were completely different.

Marzu was anxiously looking forward to this match. Rumor had it that he had sparred with every member in the Asura team to raise their skill level.

The truth was that they were wrong. Marzu was doing so to warm himself up. He had to adjust his condition to the peak just as the match approached.

Whether it was Di Maria or that Wang Zheng, they were worth him participating in the battle.

“Captain, Big Brother seems to be very happy,” said Beo. Beo still addressed Olivios as “Captain.” He had just sparred a round with Marzu, and that experience was a little worse than death. All along, he had believed that Olivios was the limit. However...

Olivios nodded his head. The Fan family had some relatively forbidden rules. Although they weren’t that absolute, they were definitely walking on a tightrope. Marzu was his source of stress but was also his motivation. From his core, he had seen his brother as a role model. Although Marzu was cold and ruthless, Olivios knew that when the results of the Asura battle team weren’t great, it was Marzu who was bearing the stress on his behalf.

He needed to get up from where he fell. For Hocatolin, there was a 90% chance of becoming useless after such a fall. For a strong expert like him, if he didn’t have the chance to face the knot in his heart, it would be too difficult for him to turn the tables around.

Till Wang Zheng returned, Olivios had noticed the transformation in Marzu.

Olivios could feel that Wang Zheng was getting stronger. He was also growing and raising his strength, but he had never seen anyone who could do it so quickly. Since IG, Wang Zheng’s growth speed was a little terrifying, and even Olivios felt a little pressured. However, Marzu told him that he had to look further. Some things might seem unreachable, but these might become worthless in the future.

Only those who truly stuck to who they were could walk to the end of this world.

This time, the brothers from Arbiter would be pairing up.

Every internal member of Arbiter was like a tiger or wolf. The Van brothers would be pairing up for the first time. What could possibly withstand them in this world?

Perhaps only God could.

On the side of Aslan’s Imperial Glory.

Aina had also done some pre-battle mobilization. If Imperial Glory could clinch the championship in the end, every member would be bestowed the Royal Medal. Obviously, this had no meaning to Di Maria. However, for the other members, it would be the utmost honor. They might even become nobles if they accumulated military accolades in the future.

Di Maria wanted to obtain victory in front of Aina and present this victory to the most beautiful princess in this universe. As a Royal Knight, what could be more blissful than this?

In the eyes of Di Maria, humans were born differently. There was a distinction between the nobles and the humble ones from birth.

Aina and him were among the most noble people in the universe. They possessed the best backgrounds, qualities, and talents.

For some people, understanding Ability X a little was similar to dying once. However, he possessed Ability X from birth. Moreover, his ability was unattainable.

This was the difference, something that some people could only look up to from afar.

For now, on this stage that Aina cared about, he wanted to prove this point to the world.

Only he was deserving of the most beautiful princess.

Nobody could possibly stop him!

On the other side, Heracles stood up solemnly.

“Yes, Your Highness. I will definitely give my all!”

After turning off his Skylink, Heracles couldn’t believe his ears. He was indeed here to reclaim the title of the Phantom King. However, how would such a matter alarm the Queen of Atlantis?

Moreover, he had been granted permission to use the Forbidden Powers in the battle against the Saruman Snake battle team.

It had already been over 200 years. The Forbidden Powers weren’t allowed to be used in real battles. It was especially so when there were “outsiders” present.

Heracles didn’t know the reasons and didn’t have to. He only knew that he was assigned the highest order by the Queen. In this world, no living thing could stop the great Atlantis!

In the faraway Tita Star, Luo Fei had the urge to vomit blood. Sometimes, even he would doubt if Boss was a woman in his previous life.

This was too fickle-minded.

Just a while ago, he decided to return to throw a wrench into things. He probably wanted to make Wang Zheng feel worse than dying by haunting him till the end. The next moment, Lear was determined to remain on Tita Star.

This was an individual training.

That’s great, that’s really great. Fatty Luo would raise both his hands and legs in approval. However... why was he dragged along?

All he wanted was to return to the hotel and take a warm shower. After which, he could tease those lolis of Tita Star. Why did he have to walk aimlessly in the deep mountains and forest, where there were wild beasts all around???

It was especially so after Lear started to not talk. It had been three days since, and he hadn’t spoken a word. This made the fatty felt like he was going insane. To vent his frustration, he would spit at a large tree when it was time when the water was sprinkled. He would spit at the bottom and top too. Otherwise, when the training was completed, Lear might be alright, but he would definitely have lost his mind.
