Chapter 1059: Fatty, Exposed

Yan Xiaosu’s side was not going well, whereas Wang Zheng’s side was reaping all the benefits. Rennes had to let his people go now. He was not a fool – no one could go against their own school like that. He could only watch the babe leave his side. Ai Xiaolu had not come to the Icefire battle team recently either. In this time, she was fully supporting the Saruman Snake battle team’s preparations.

As for the school, they had given the green light to the four battle teams. Jiang Feng was personally in charge, and he assembled all the members from the four battle teams.

Some students thought that all the strongest members should be consolidated in one group. Wouldn’t that be stronger? But although that might achieve results, it would only throw the battle teams into disarray. Simply assembling the strongest was not the image that the school wanted to convey. Other colleges may do so, but Elite Academy X could not.

On the whole, Jiang Feng was still confident. Each of the four battle teams had their own specialties, and each had an excellent leader. Their synergy on the whole had matured. As long as they performed at their usual level, they would achieve good results.

Di Maria was in fine form, looking as if he had completely shrugged off the shadow of defeat. More accurately, SIG was a chance for him to turn the tables. Whoever could do well in SIG could wipe away the slate of the past. This was the unforgiving nature of battle. People would forever remember only the latest results.

“The school has decided that I will lead the battle team. The importance of this SIG to Elite Academy X goes without saying, and the same for all of you as well. I hope that everyone can display their ability, and not be affected by external factors,” Jiang Feng said.

He was, after all, someone who had seen the world. This SIG was largely about responsibility, and he did not feel the pressure at all.

“Mentor, please put your mind at ease. Our Imperial Glory battle team has already done our preparations. Although it’s our home ground, we will do our best to bring glory to the school!” Di Maria said with conviction.

The others rolled their eyes. Only he could pull off such bootlicking words with dignity.

Jiang Feng smiled. “At Aslan, you will be the host, Di Maria.”

“Rest assured, Teacher. I will provide the best service, even better than the home battle team!”

Di Maria smiled. This was not just an empty brag. Di Maria was no fool. To him, winning was much better than losing. The Aslan people might not be happy if others won, but his win would be the same as Aslan winning. Besides, this was his time to shine. He could not afford to skimp on his preparation, but must instead provide the best possible support. Aslan people were different from others because their gaze was always cast far into the future, and they did not quarrel about the petty present.

“Keke, Student Di Maria, we won’t ask for additional intelligence. All we ask is that you don’t leak ours,” Sweeney said unfeelingly. The Arbiters did not look on the Aslan people with favor.

“Student Sweeney jests. If Arbiters won’t do such a thing, then Aslan people are even more against it. Besides, I feel like we are not the stars of the show here. The Atlanteans and Mayans have sent forth strong battle teams as well. Those present, please forgive my words. What I mean is that Atlantis and Maya are definitely also superpowers in the Alliance, and in no way less than us. Compared to us, always strutting under the spotlight, your countries represent even more power.”

Di Maria’s skillful words were smooth. Heracles and the two Mayans showed small smiles of pride.

It was said that Aslan people were proud, but the proudest were the Atlanteans and Mayans. In terms of their origins, they were earlier civilizations, and had progressed even further. It was merely their reproductive capabilities that were slightly inferior.

It felt like the third generation civilizations’ greatest advantage was that they maintained extensive reproductive power, comparable to the Zergs.

“I am merely a member of Elite Academy X. Naturally, I want to win glory for the school. As far as I know, Her Highness is sending forth the elite of the Temple Guard. They are truly formidable.” Heracles would do well not to brag too much about his own country, but he still looked full of confidence.

“Do they have limits?” Jiang Feng suddenly asked.

Heracles smiled slightly, throwing a sidelong glance at Wang Zheng. “From the start, we no longer suppressed our ability in some battles. Put simply, we could already convene with the power of the universe, but we realized through this process that such power created a burden on our bodies and reduced our lifespan. But now, this problem has been largely mitigated.”

Atlanteans’ bodies were frail, more suited to mental than physical exertion. If their endurance could only hold out, their fighting ability was frightening. One Heracles alone had created all sorts of complications. Against five, it would be a disaster.

They mulled over that for a while, and Jiang Feng was silent as well. He had his doubts about Heracles’ explanation. It seemed too much of a coincidence that they had resolved it recently.

But it was true that the Atlanteans and Mayans had been different lately. They had been low-profile before, but were starting to throw their strength around in recent years.

Subaru’s sparkling face creased in a smile. “Maya’s battle team is not finalized. But the national goal has already been set, which is to take first place in SIG.”

The two sparkling Mayans were calm, taking this as nothing unusual.

Wang Zheng and the rest looked around. Damn, these aliens were really something else.

Jiang Feng felt like the atmosphere was a little strange. He clapped his hands. “As fighters, you should all celebrate. Such a stage is one that the mighty long for. Honestly, I did not have such opportunities when I was your age. At that time, Elite Academy X was nobody, and there was no way to get your name out. That is why you should all grasp this opportunity and prove yourselves. To have such an opportunity in your youth is good. Regardless of the result, I hope that you have no regrets in the future!”

To stand at the pinnacle of Aslan, the pinnacle of the world?

This battle was the real Greatest King competition. Youngsters were often shaken by such emotive phrases. Of course, this was not a bad thing. If youngsters were not passionate, then the human race would have long become extinct.

“In terms of tactics, I won’t interfere too much. You all have your own approaches and ways of thinking. The school has given you ebenefits, You can form reserve battle teams at will. As your mentor and leader, I am honored. I have not given you much help thus far. This way, right before we head to Aslan, I will help to refine your main force before we go. The first batch of five, stay back after I call your names,” Jiang Feng said. “Wang Zheng, Di Maria, Olivios, Lear…”

Jiang Feng’s gaze lingered over the crowd, and came to rest on a fatty who was looking anywhere but at him. “And Luo Fei.”

They stared at the fatty. For real???

Fatty was stunned as well. D*mn, why did this concern him?

As the rest began to disperse, the five lingered. Jiang Feng smiled. “Matured, just like Marzu. There’s nothing much I can mentor you about. The qualities of the five of you are obvious. I’ll have a 1v1 with each of you, and tidy up your battle habits.”

Jiang Feng was famous for being super strong at Elite Academy X, one of the top Earth-rank warriors. Although he looked friendly most of the time while on duty at Elite Academy X, everyone wanted to know his true strength.

Lear looked coldly over at Fatty. Fatty felt like his back was wet with sweat. This Jiang Feng was really a busybody. Why did he have to call him when there were so many other choices? Fatty was clearest of Lear’s character. It was no usual suspicion.

The rest had not thought as much of it. Jiang Feng looked at their eager gazes. It was really a virtuous cycle, but they needed this bunch of pioneers to pave ground to the fullest.

“Do you want to watch together, or do you want some privacy?”

Such matches were mentored fights. This meant that Jiang Feng had some idea of how to stimulate their potential. Having witnesses might not be the most appropriate fit, which was why their opinions had to be sought.

“Professor, I think that a private one on one is better. We can focus more that way, and won’t need to think of anything else. We can achieve the best results that way,” Lear said.

The rest nodded, and Jiang Feng was fine with it. “Alright. Then Di Maria and Luo Fei today.”

Fatty’s mood soured. Why him again?

“Keke, Professor Jiang Feng, need you take so much trouble for someone of my level?” Luo Fei said.

Jiang Feng looked at Luo Fei with what could have been a smile. “Aren’t you part of the Dynasty battle team? Don’t you want to prove yourself?”

“No, no, of course. I just don’t want to be a nuisance to the other students.”

“Keke, this is no time to be humble. You have potential. If you can just lighten your stomach, that would be great,” Jiang Feng said. “Being too lazy won’t do. Any potential would be wasted like that.”

At this point, Lear was relaxed. He had thought that punk Luo Fei had sneakily pulled something again. He had tried his best to cure his sloth, but to no avail. Perhaps Jiang Feng could find a way.
