Chapter 1021: Perfect Work of Art

When only the Slayer was left standing on the battlefield, everyone present – former opponents, friends, spectators – all felt something curious.

This battle was very different from the previous two. It had neither Marzu’s violence, nor Wang Zheng’s desperation of beating back the Arbiter brothers.

The Slayer was complete. It was at peace. It was noble.

At this moment, everyone realized something. The person before their very eyes, known as Wang Zheng, was dominating everything.

Xiao Fei smiled lightly. Lady Xiao’s intellect was top-class. Even if she did not understand mecha, but she was no complete stranger either. She merely believed and supported in her own way. Her indifference to the result had been born of her worry. Wang Zheng did not need more pressure.

But seeing the Slayer’s performance, Xiao Fei did not care how much skill had been shown. All she knew was that throughout the battle, Wang Zheng had controlled the pace. Perhaps there had been some unforeseen variations, but the situation had never been out of control.

This was life. One could not expect everything to go according to plan, but the best could always integrate the variables into their plan.

The Slayer meant a killer. A demon. This was the strongest existence on the battlefield, the pinnacle of savagery had finally fallen, but the Slayer had not.

In this battle, the might that Wang Zheng had demonstrated was overwhelmingly holistic. This was something that a single challenge could not bring out. This was true composite strength, enough to satisfy all the professors of the school.

Yet, none of this was necessary nor important now. At this moment, what was needed were cheers.

The entire Elite Academy X was impassioned. Everyone, including both grudging and convinced opponents, had to stand up at this moment to pay homage to this person.

He was the Greatest King!

He had finally won.

Zhang Shan and the rest were whooping madly. They rushed onto the training field. They could not believe that all of this was real. It seemed like just yesterday that he and Wang Zheng were worrying if they could stay at Elite Academy X. And now, they stood at the pinnacle of Elite Academy X.

The undisputed peak.

The winner of the Greatest King battle’s first iteration. This was no luck. They had beaten the strongest Arbiter and Aslan teams to emerge at the top.

Marzu was applauding, and Olivios as well. This was a sign of respect to their opponent. This Greatest King competition had meant a lot to them as well. When the outcome was finally decided, none of that honor mattered anymore. It was necessary to let go of what they should.

The entire Elite Academy X reverberated with cheers for the Greatest King.

And on Earth, Moon, Mars, more than 10 military schools cheered for the same thing for the first time. After so many years, internal strife, grudges, losses, and more losses had plagued the Solar System. In this moment, the Solar System team had finally won glory.

And as the core, Ares College had completely lost their minds. More accurately, this wave of enthusiasm had spread through the entire upper district. In a major international competition, Ares College students had defeated Arbiter, defeated Aslan, and taken the title of greatest.

Even the average citizen received it like heavenly news. It was such a far-fetched thing. A few middle-aged people were roused to remember their own youth.

Ares College’s recruitment hotline was bursting. The postbox was brimming with countless consultation and report documents. Nobody believed that talent alone was enough. Because if that was the case, no one could hope to compete with Aslan and Arbiter. Wang Zheng had displayed fortitude, will, and passion with composure. This was what was most moving. What kind of military school could raise such a fine fighter?

Wang Zheng had done it. Leading Saruman Snake, this rag-tag team had created a miracle, and defeated the opponents who had once looked down on him.

Wang Zheng had been hoisted up, and thrown around. For a while, he would not feel solid ground again.

Most importantly, Wang Zheng and the Saruman Snake team had done something else, which was break the domination of Aslan and Arbiter.

This was also something that the professors wished to see.

Humanity needed to progress. If the Milky Way was to find balance, it needed even more new powers for balance, which could bring forth other powers.

Without question, besides Arbiter and Aslan, the other countries had all been longing for a miracle. Even other superpowers like Manalasuo were happy to accept this outcome. It was better than always seeing the sour face of Arbiter or the pasty white face of Aslan.

Many soon found out that even those opponents like Dendi or Pampas could find it in their hearts to be happy with this victory.

This was what Wang Zheng had achieved, and some could never do.

A certain person had received the news on Tita Star as well. Lear indeed could hold it in. Lear now was like a wild man. After such a long time spent outdoors, his hair and beard had grown long. Fatty was not doing well either. But after hearing the news of Wang Zheng’s championship, Fatty did not cheer, but stood silently at Lear’s side.

Anyone but him could cheer.

What was more painful was the “bootlicking” from the former opponents!

This was something that Lear could never do.

Two shadows disappeared into Tita Star’s forest. Time would go on.

The school was not tight-fisted either. They had thrown a magnificent celebration for Saruman Snake. Elite Academy X was not a prison. Some things were taught by the military, and not here.

Within the cheers, Wang Zheng saw Aina, who coincidentally met his eye. She could feel his eyes burning with a conquering flame, naked yet with a wild sense of protection.

It was a look that Aina could not dismiss, and was scared to meet. Her team had lost, and she had not even felt denial or unhappiness.

Aslan’s team could not possibly stay at this celebration long. In this battle, two of their members had been wounded. Wang Zheng’s killing power was too terrifying.

The Atlanteans had used their taboo powers to bring forth overwhelming strength, but still fell under the calm hand of Wang Zheng. It was not much to triumph over the weaker, but defeating such a worthy opponent was the most fearsome thing. It left one’s opponents in despair.

Heracles was frustrated, but he was not the first to lose.

The projector screen displayed an analysis of Wang Zheng’s battle. Each scene brought forth more cheers.

This was even more awesome than the result. From start to finish, the Slayer had completely controlled the distance, minimizing damage. This was the Slayer’s original intention, to play the distance and make the strongest attacks.

Z movement again and again, without the slightest mistake. How long did one have to train to be able to do it?

In a normal battle, Wang Zheng’s Ability X was not that remarkable. But he had used foundational moves and the basic nature of Ability X to its finest.

A complete domination.

And amidst the crowd of Elite Academy X, the rush from the replays was too overwhelming. Some had started to faint, and were escorted out by those around them. Luckily, at such gatherings, the school had arranged for medical personnel, otherwise there would have been complications.

Such excitement was indeed not for those with weak hearts.

The textbook dodge and attack over and over again, it was a perfect work of art!
