Chapter 920: Emotional Lear

In truth, investment was easier said than done. Procuring funds was a troublesome process. Money was not obtained once the wish was uttered. Investment needed a ceaseless flow of goods and capital, but the number of companies that dared to move cargo to or from Titatitan Star was shrinking. The pirates were one thing, and there was the Diweng and Jiro dispute on top of that – it was a battlefield.

Everyone’s investments were largely trapped on Titatitan Star. If there were any political changes, their investments could very easily evaporate with no legal insurance.

That things had come this far was a very serious matter. Yan Xiaosu had to find Wang Zheng, but he could not get through to his Skylink. Zhang Shan was also uncontactable. Only after contacting Ai Xiaolu did they realize that they were on a mission. As for the current situation of Tita Star, Ai Xiaolu had heard of it as well, even more aware than they were about some of the behind-the-scenes proceedings. But she could not help. Even the Hail Cloud Alliance, let alone the Ai Financial Group, would not stick their noses into such business.

In Ai Xiaolu’s point of view, this was a dead end. Huge benefits with insufficient power to secure it. Those appealing for a share of those enormous profits just watched on, wide-eyed. This was impossible. Although on the whole, Milky Way was very peaceful, but regional wars had recently been starting. Small-scale skirmishes were even more ceaseless. Of course, there were big countries working in the shadows. Without wars, how would weapons evolve and sell?

After Wang Zheng left Elite Academy X, others now stood a chance. His broadcasted single challenge of a Zerg had given other Battle Teams a chance. After all, those that could see through its moves were not Wang Zheng alone. The mighty Arbiter Asura Battle Team was also trying their hand.

“And Olivios blocks it again! To stop a tentacle monster with just his individual power, I say, it’s not only Wang Zheng that can do it!”

“Obviously! Asura will win!”

“Briston and Beo’s performances are very alluring as well. Without Beo’s frontal defense, Olivios’ Overlord can’t move so freely as well.”

“Keke, Asura Battle Team, who on the Battle Team does not catch one’s eye? Look at their regrouping after being attacked. Each time they take damage to a certain degree, Beo’s solid support is always there. Damn me, Beo’s Ox Demon is godlike today!”

Asura Battle Team’s challenge of the Zerg tentacle monster was currently ongoing. A good half of the school was spectating through all kinds of mediums.

After Wang Zheng had failed the solo challenge, the entire Elite Academy X was more fired up than ever about the challenge of the tentacle monster.

Although Wang Zheng’s single challenge had theoretically been a failure, but his demonstration had opened everybody’s eyes to a completely different way of dealing with it.

With the worms’ attack pattern and battle trajectory, some never-seen-before battle tactics emerged, as well as ways to deceive the tentacle monster, and even ways to compel a certain tentacle attack pattern. All of this had been brought to light.

In a war, intelligence was the most important. Similarly, at this level of fighting, once a super Zerg’s trump cards were all played out, then defeating “it” was only a matter of time.

Wang Zheng’s defensive guideline was to avoid the attack that broke the limiter. In the beginning, when they had discussed it with Achilles and the rest, they had agreed there was no way to beat it. Many had heard that. But almost as soon as Wang Zheng’s challenge ended, it had been publicized on the school’s site.

That day, groups flocked to challenge it. Those who watched the single challenge could not resist. Wang Zheng was very strong, but there was no reason that something he could do alone could not be accomplished by them, as a group.

And this time, they had Wang Zheng’s theories as reference. Many of the competent groups could feel a clear difference. The tentacle monster did not seem so intimidating anymore. They felt like there was a chance.

At this time, Asura Battle Team could not resist as well. They took the offense. Given Wang Zheng’s previously stated tactics, Asura’s Battle Team composition was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Olivios had not wanted to take this easy way out. But Wang Zheng himself had left the campus. Whatever the reason, he had given up on taking the “First Blood” of a super Zerg.

To draw “First Blood” on a tentacle monster had now become the greatest passion of the entire Elite Academy X. The attention it drew was no less than the Greatest King Competition. And the Battle Team that could accomplish it would undoubtedly gain great glory.

And that the tentacle monster case had festered until now meant that the school had to take it a degree more seriously as well. Although they did not clearly state the rewards, but it was impossible that there would be no symbol of recognition.

Asura Battle Team clearly could not, and would not, fall behind anyone else in this regard. There was also no reason for Olivios to give way to Wang Zheng. To be able to pull off this teamwork was already a big thing. They would not wait for him.

Lear had brought the entire Dynasty Battle Team to watch as well. Luo Fei rubbed his chin. “Boss, Olivios is on fire today. Don’t you think they might steal First Blood?”

Luo Fei blinked. After Wang Zheng’s demonstration, Luo Fei knew that if Dynasty Battle Team worked together well, they stood a good chance of completing the challenge.

If they immediately challenged, Dynasty Battle Team stood a good chance of snatching first blood.

But Lear had merely proceeded with some related training, and then took no further action. All he did was to bring them to watch other Battle Teams’ challenges, constantly.

Eagle Battle Team, Icefire Battle Team…

Many other Battle Teams had displayed great ability, but failed at the critical moment. Especially Eagle Battle Team. They had lost at the last blow, when they could not top the worm’s limit. They were unable to follow up with the critical hit, and the tentacle monster had burrowed away to safety.

At this moment, everyone remembered the punchline of Wang Zheng’s theory. The key was in how to stop the worm from escaping!

Everyone had laughed at it. Why would such a strong worm run? What a joke!

But the joke was now real. Eagle Battle Team had lost on this point. A painful surrender of their shot at First Blood.

And now Asura Battle Team’s attack! Luo Fei had a dark premonition… The First Blood that should have belonged to Dynasty Battle Team… Would it be snatched away by this disgusting Olivios?

“Boss, why does it seem like Asura Battle Team stands a very good chance?” Luo Fei worried.

Lear smiled slightly. Although he wanted the First Blood, but losing it was no big deal. In any school, in any era, the final success was often not first place.

“How about I go and throw the circuits?” Luo Fei suddenly said. “This bunch of louts have taken advantage of us Solar System people for too long.”

If it was not for Wang Zheng who had opened the path of hope, the rest right now would not even have dared to try.

Lear shot a cold look at Fatty Luo. “Are you feeling comfy because I haven’t beat you recently?”

Fatty immediately lowered his head. Regardless, Lear was always right. To Lear, Asura taking it was still better than Wang Zheng taking it. News from the Solar System was never good news to Lear.

And in truth, Lear had done much analysis on Wang Zheng’s foundations. It was clear that Olivios had accepted it. No matter what, Wang Zheng could not have it.
