Tempest of the Stellar War

Panda Novel

At Elite Academy X, the last round of the Greatest King competition was about to begin. The last round was also the most glorious one. To Aslan, it was extremely important.

There was a little snag over at Imperial Glory. Aslan’s second princess’ coming of age ceremony was nearing, and she had returned home, unable to support this glorious battle. Of course, some had said that the little princess was extremely disappointed with the Imperial Glory battle team.

No matter the reason, everyone knew that all the burden had now shifted from the Saruman Snake battle team to the Imperial Glory battle team.

Whether a small fry or big shot, psychological advantages would change anytime. The glory of being a former big shot was a burden at this time. Others could afford to lose, but the Imperial Glory battle team could not afford to lose, and did not want to lose.

If their loss against the Asura battle team was a hard clash that they had no choice about, then against the Saruman Snake battle team, they could not lose again. Otherwise, the loss in the finals would be the biggest embarrassment of the Imperial Glory battle team.

This was in the case where Princess Aina had personally overseen the battle team. For a week, the entire Aslan battle team was not to be seen, clearly preparing for this last battle.

The advantageous news was that Saruman Snake’s lineup was really bad. Their main scout and main fighter were absent, and it seemed like everything was up to Wang Zheng, the super fighter.

Although the Greatest King competition’s purpose was to demonstrate a battle team, who knew? There were many times when humans needed heroism, where an individual hero stepped up.

For the last battle. Elite Academy X had turned out in full force as well, to witness this historical moment. Of course, a competition that drew very little concern had now become one that drew the most concern.

Imperial Glory battle team:

Heracles – Phantom King

It was very clear before the competition, as though the Atlanteans had suddenly rallied and actively sought to take the leadership. He had previously not displayed any startling potential, and many students were rather unsatisfied. They found it hard to accept this midway show of bravado from the Atlanteans. And they were facing an Earth-rank soldier. What were these Atlanteans to them?

But the Imperial Glory battle team had given him some trust.

Lu Die – M200 Oracle mech.

Annil – Imperial Guardian

Jin Yaoer – Wasp Sting M

Di Maria – BS001

Di Maria was not as spirited as before. His handsome features were grave and solemn. The battle with Asura had completely eradicated his arrogance.

But Asura was in no great position either. Offstage, the Asura battle team members were expressionless. In truth, the Arbiters were not well suited to such situations. It had been who knew how many years since they were reduced to spectators.

Today’s battle outcome meant nothing to them, but still they had to come.

In terms of quality, the Arbiters were far better than Imperial Glory because Olivios had beaten his way into Earth-rank through one competition. This was no small feat, but many had overlooked it.

There were many obstacles on the path to Earth-rank. Marzu was a given, but Olivios was about the same age as Wang Zheng. The moment he entered Earth-rank, it was hard to tell the distance between the two.

He had lost his vanity, but gained ability.

But if Imperial Glory lost this, they would have nothing and not double. Saruman Snake was already in such a state, and they had no way out.

Di Maria, who had relinquished the right of command, had his complaints, but it could not be helped, because he could not offer a better tactic. After all, he was not an Earth-rank fighter. But Di Maria looked down on the Earth rank because Wang Zheng had no talent, only some foundations. Unlike him, with both time and talent. Di Maria saw his entry into Earth-rank as a given. That sort of resistance ability had nothing to him.

To him, who was close to Earth-rank himself, he was not helpless when faced with Earth-rank fighters. His Ability X was not bad, only his comprehension was not on the same level.

This would come down to tactics. At the same time, they would see if Heracles was as useful as he made out to be.

Saruman Snake battle team:

Mu Zhen – Giant mech.

Lie Xin – Flaming Elite Guard.

Oli – Overlord mech.

Takumi – Earthly Grizzly.

Neither side could see others’ choices, but the audience could see it clearly. The Saruman Snake battle team was… The best housewife could not cook without rice.

They already had blanks to fill in their positions. Who would have thought that they would directly give up on the sniper position? Below stage, Snow Li was a little worried. Oli was not bad at all, but she was not a specialized sniper. It would be a hopeless matchup against Lu Die.

But two tanks, that was really useless. Because of Mu Zhen, one tank was enough. But there was no choice, because Takumi was an honest-to-goodness tank. If you gave him any other type of mech, he would not be able to fight well at all.

It could be said that at this stage, their formation had no silver lining to speak off. Not just silver linings, the whole thing was painful to look at.

In comparison, Imperial Glory had a completely balanced lineup. Such a lineup would get thrashed. Were they counting on Wang Zheng to win this alone?

But the Saruman Snake battle team members looked fairly composed. This would make a great feature article. Any soldier that did not aim to be a general was not a good soldier. At this stage, if the Saruman Snake battle team was not aiming for the win, it would be very strange indeed.

When the mech appeared, the audience was silent. “Professor Jiang Feng, do you think Wang Zheng can 1 v 5?” Ka Tao asked. He was not asking blindly. But only Jiang Feng could properly weigh the fighting power of an Earth-rank fighter, which was Wang Zheng’s current fighting ability.

Jiang Feng smiled slightly. “Even an Earth-rank fighter cannot face a synergistic battle team. Everyone, please do not blindly worship the power of Earth-rankers. To my knowledge, too many Earth-rank fighters fight their own Waterloo.”

“Thank you, Teacher Jiang Feng. Given our current popularity polls, the Saruman Snake battle team and the Imperial Glory battle team are basically even,” Ka Tao said.

Everyone could see the judgment of the various major military school students. The Saruman Snake battle team was originally higher, but everyone had seen the lineup gaps and the un-synergistic choice of mecha. The Imperial Glory battle team started to rise. And as Jiang Feng spoke, the support percentage of the Imperial Glory battle team rose a little more.

But Wang Zheng’s reputation after that battle with Asura was too incredible. As long as he was there, he was a rock for the battle team.

Faced with such a frustrating lineup, what would Wang Zheng do?

Hercules?

Against Imperial Glory, such a sluggish mech would not work. The battle with Asura had ended up that way because of the information gap, paired with Wang Zheng’s accurate anticipation of Asura’s strong offensive tactics. He had chosen a defensive counter attacker Hercules, and indeed created a miracle.

In that battle, he had made the whole world see that basic mech for what it was. It was said that many countries had bought fleets of Herculeses after that. The mech’s stability was astonishing. Simply put, it was of good quality.

But against these mobile sprites of the Imperial Glory battle team with a balanced line up, he would be beaten up without even touching base if Wang Zheng dared to choose the Hercules.

As Ka Tao and Xue Yue continued to analyze the lineup and situation, everyone settled in. Earth-rank fighters were still human, and not gods. A cannon did not make a man.

Wang Zheng was evidently still considering. Tactics?

Well, honestly, there was no f*cking use, because the lineup and reality of things were clearly displayed. At this moment, all the Saruman Snake battle team could do was muster up their spirit and let everyone choose what they were best at. In the end, seeking strength was a better choice than seeking synergy.

Wang Zheng had to prepare himself to take a 1 v 5. As the leader, he had to shoulder the responsibilities he should.

Phantom King?

The crowd argued. It had said that Atlanteans had discussed before the competition. Phantom King to fight Phantom King. Footage of Wang Zheng’s heyday at IG had been unearthed. With one Phantom King, he had laid the Atlantean battle team bare. Only then did the kids know that Student Wang was already awesome a long time ago, and not just on the stage of Elite Academy X.

This was why the Atlanteans were out to get Wang Zheng.

The free-moving Phantom King was not a bad choice. Many thought so.

But Jiang Feng, Marzu, Olivios, and the rest frowned. Wang Zheng naturally used the Phantom King sublimely, but there was no luck in battle. The way they saw it, the rest of Saruman Snake could not render much help. As the leader, he had to plan for the worst.

The Phantom King’s mobility and attack power were indeed strong, but Wang Zheng should not forget something. Di Maria, although he had lost, was indeed a genius. In Elite Academy X, his Ability X quality was the highest. The Phantom King was a mech that could be repressed by his ability. Once it entered the time swamp, the Phantom King would die without question. Besides, the Phantom King did not have the defensive power of the Hercules.

If Wang Zheng chose the Phantom King, then things would be difficult.

But what to choose?

Wang Zheng’s mecha inventory switched to the Storm Swordsman.

This was undoubtedly a model with incredible attacking power that could show off his techniques. But choosing the Storm Swordsman was not as good as the Phantom King. After all, the Phantom King had better evasive capabilities.

Wind God? Immediately abandoned.

Better not treat the Imperial Glory people as idiots. Wind God, once it entered the fray would definitely be unable to exit.

Golden Wheel Battle King?

Use his battle teammates as shields and let him wreak havoc to the fullest?

It has to be said that when the Golden Wheel Battle King was shown, the Manalasuo people cheered. Wang Zheng had acknowledged the Golden Wheel Battle King. That was an honor.

Everyone knew that Wang Zheng would have to pull his battle team from the fire for this battle.

The Golden Wheel Battle King’s killing power and attack style were definitely good enough.

But the problem was still obvious. Although the Golden Wheel Battle King was the king of moderately damaging attacks, against Di Maria and Heracles, that was of no f*cking use.

After all, those two were not normal humans.

In that instant, countless military students started to see this as truly impossible. For one person to take on the universe alone was not possible. No matter what Wang Zheng chose, he could not best the current lineup.

It was the first time that those close to Wang Zheng started to worry for him.

Zhang Shan and Achilles, as the wounded, could only sit above. Nothing could be done, and panicking would not be helpful at all.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Zheng’s mech was locked in.

Everyone’s eyes popped. This, could it really work???

Wang Zheng was smiling a little. A cheeky smile.

Arbiter–Slayer!

It was time to unsheathe his sword!
