Chapter 1083: Solar System’s Casualties

“Unsatisfied!” Qian Xuedie pouted. She had prepared all the snacks for the show, and then he had not even taken part. This hollow feeling was most unwelcome.

“Sister Ruoliu, what on earth is going on?” Dong Er was also surprised. The first match was so important, but Wang Zheng had not come.

Perhaps among the four, only Huiyin had been prepared. Only those who had seen him live would know of Wang Zheng’s might and confidence.

“Seems like we underestimated this Student Wang. He’s really confident, to send reserves in the first round.” In Ouyang Ruoliu’s heart, outsiders should be more prudent. It was expected that they would flaunt their strength in such an important competition, but the truth seemed far from that. This guy seemed to have some modicum of maturity.

The Saruman Snake battle team had not much in the way of a celebration. As the winner of Greatest King, this was expected. They had to change the public opinion of them through battle after battle.

Zhang Shan was still feeling good. When Wang Zheng was not around, he could shine. Achilles was the silent commander, and did not like the limelight. In Zhang Shan’s words, he was one of those who liked to sit in the shadows and control the entire field. Although it sounded a little sinister, this suited Achilles’s character.

Given such a chance to shine, Vincent and Takumi were both pretty happy.

The first day saw many strong teams qualify smoothly, and the seeded teams basically all sent a mix of their reserves, with no team showing their full strength. Of course, this was when they understood their opponents’ ability. An upset now would be a joke.

Returning to base camp, Wang Zheng and the rest could not muster much joy. Each team’s Skylink had SIG reports, which continually updated with group news. The 10 seeded teams were definitely a highlight, including a simple introduction of the Saruman Snake battle team. As for the other matches, the other main feature was the fight between the Solar System’s Battling Tiger battle team and Ghana’s Demon battle team.

Perhaps because of the minor pre-match incident at the restaurant, Ghana’s Demon battle team had used the most immoral bullying tactics to fight. The few clips all painted scenes of the Battling Tiger battle team being toyed with.

If they had surrendered at this time, that would’ve been fine. But perhaps because of Wang Zheng’s encouragement, the Battling Tiger battle team had held on to the last, but their fate was even worse then.

Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, and the rest watched till the end of the competition without a word.

They prayed that Ghana battle team would fall into their hands, so they could show them an existence worse than death.

Although it was a battle, there was still a moral baseline. If one did not have the skills, one could only bow gracefully. But the battle had been too ugly, and completely robbed the Solar System team of all dignity.

Ghana was also a customarily strong team. They must have been underestimated. This was also because Ghana Star’s reputation was not good, but Aslan’s report had also done nothing but fan the flames.

Such a matter was not settled with verbal shots. One had to pick oneself up after falling down. If the Solar System wanted to become strong, they would really have to rack their brains.

Wang Zheng’s Skylink rang. It was Xiao Fei. Wang Zheng hurriedly answered. Lady Xiao Fei had to be mad.

She was the manager of the two Solar System teams, but they had been beaten badly. In truth, she knew that the two teams were on the weak side, but the Solar System had chosen to come off the sidelines this time, with an attitude of learning, and understanding the difference. They had not expected such a thing to happen. The problem was that tens of thousands of Solar System students had seen this scene. The Ghanans were too much...

But students were naive. If Xiao Fei made a fuss out of it, they would only be exposing themselves further. The logic of this world was that the weak would feed the strong. The Ghanans had not been nice, but why would they have to be?

“Wang Zheng, if you meet the Ghanans, teach them a lesson for me!” Lady Xiao Fei’s fire was up. She wanted to use this opportunity to get Ares College known. Perhaps their results would not be ideal, but at least it would be positive. And now it was the reverse.

At one side, Zhang Shan was quick to assure her, while Wang Zheng was brooding. “Actually, I don’t think this is a bad thing, but the school needs to guide them well. The reason we were shamed is that our ability was insufficient. We can’t be like ostriches with our heads in the sand. This is a good opportunity.”

As Wang Zheng spoke, Xiao Fei immediately calmed down. She understood where he was coming from. Given Wang Zheng’s personal circumstances, he had inflated the Solar System’s reputation drastically. This was also something about the Solar System people – given a little to go off of, their impression of themselves swelled drastically. In truth, the Solar System’s years of lag would not disappear in an hour and a half. That was not realistic. This was something that was recognized in all aspects – whether military or social.

This was a notion blown out of proportion. It was not something that Wang Zheng or Xiao Fei could change. They could not change others, but they could conduct themselves well.

From another perspective, it could help to cool Ares College. What could one or two exceptions prove?

Xiao Fei had not expected Wang Zheng to reply this way. In this period, things had been going smoothly, and even her brain had been set afire. Many people had come flocking to the name of Ares College, but was Ares College really prepared to handle such stock?

Look at Aslan’s Royal College. Although the Imperial Glory battle team had lost, could Ares College be compared to them?

The answer was obvious.

Was the Solar System really so lacking in talent?

Unfortunately, that was not the case. There were countless people who had left. The key was a system to nurture and retain their talent.

For Wang Zheng, what he needed to do was simple. If they met the Ghana team, he knew what to do. He was from Earth, and would return them an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. War was like that.

With those words, Xiao Fei was no longer angry. Like Wang Zheng said, this could be an opportunity, one that the Ghanans had provided.

Achilles also felt regretful. Those of the Moon recalled most fondly the era when the Solar System was dominating. Back then, the Moon people were the most popular. They had the most developed economic system, the latest technologies, and were the center of attention. But now...

Born to the Doyle family, Achilles understood the situation even better than Wang Zheng. Youngsters all wanted to make their names, but had no idea how to direct their strength. Faced with the social reality, they were too helpless.

Wang Zheng smiled. “Why so many long faces? I was just exchanging views with Teacher Xiao Fei. It has nothing to do with us. If others are looking down on the Solar System, then we’ll just have to make them unable to.”

“You all just like to complicate things. Anyone unconvinced will be beaten until they’re convinced. Without ability, everything else is a dream. With strength, what are we afraid of?” Lie Xin sneered.

No ability, act cool, that was a fool.

But with ability, what was there to be afraid of?
