Chapter 1202: Unexpected Popularity

This was the reason why Mars had come. Wang Zheng felt that he was not there to help, but rather to create more worries. He did not provide any solid information. However, Wang Zheng also did not expect much. Even if Mars had any information, he would not give it out. At least he would not be called caught off guard by Aragorn’s attacks.

Five Earth-rank warriors. From the current lineup of Saruman Snake, it was really difficult. The SIG seemed like an exchange amongst the colleges, but in actual fact, it was a competition between the countries. While making the SIG a big event, Aslan had also made full preparations to be ready for the competition.

Three days of rest was meaningless for the two teams. Three days was insufficient for them to polish their skills.

There was a special SIG report on the Skynet at this moment. Si Jiali, the President of the Aslan Royal College student council, had conducted an interview with Aragorn..

Si Jiali had actually been conducting interviews with several teams throughout the competition. Scarlet only initially wanted to let everyone know more about the weaker teams through these interviews. After all, such opportunities were hard to come by, and it was a good thing to have an additional avenue for everyone to know them. However, she did not expect the interviews to generate such unexpected attention. Even the teams from the smaller nations had been showcased. Even though they had lost, they were finally able to show off their individuality. Furthermore, as everyone had their own preferences, they were able to have their own fans. At the same time, they had also made a name for their schools.

However, as the attention slowly increased, many people wanted to know more about the stronger teams, especially those in the top eight of the SIG.

Some people may not have thought much about the top eight and believed that only the champion deserved the attention. However, this was not the truth. The current top eight were already the hottest talking point amongst the military schools and even the comprehensive schools. Of course, they had treated this as a sports competition. As such, their enthusiasms were number one. Even the quadrennial Pan Milky Way Alliance University beauty pageant could only be ranked second.

Si Jiali felt a great sense of achievement too as not everyone could have conducted such interviews. The interviewer had to have substantial abilities and reputation. Others had tried but were all basically rejected. However, Si Jiali was different; she was the president of the student council of the Aslan Royal College. She was not just an ordinary enthusiast. To many of the teams being interviewed, this represented Aslan’s attitude, so it was an honour as well. If they had no special characteristic, why would anyone conduct an interview?

Besides, Si Jiali’s original intention was good, so she was supported by many of the teams.

At present, she had already worked with thirty-two teams. Of course, many teams had already been eliminated. However, the focus to this series of SIG interviews was not the outcome of the competition, but rather the personal abilities, sharing their growth journey, and experiences. It was also about the event’s highlights, and showcasing the essence. As such, everyone was the main lead.

Being popular was only natural. With popularity and the accumulation of fans, the interviews would be hot topics. Apparently, even the attending military personnel at the meeting were very interested. This was because the interviews contained the personal views and evaluations of the players. It also included the players’ predictions of the winner of this SIG.

The point of view and the insights of the players were obviously unique. Furthermore, the majority of the students also wanted to know the thoughts of these people.

For example, the captain of the Norton Star Formation battle team, Zhang Zhun.

“I think Saruman Snake will be champion in this SIG. I know a lot of people think it would be the Sword Shield Rose battle team or the Soulless battle team. But I believe Wang Zheng will lead the Saruman Snake to victory!” Zhang Zhun was seen waving his fists on the big screen.

Si Jiali smiled slightly. Willingness to accept the interview and willingness to speak their minds were two different matters. Honestly speaking, President Si Jiali’s goddess aura was incredible, and she was very good at chatting and uncovering the inner thoughts of the players.

“Captain Zhang Zhun, can I ask why you are such an admirer of Wang Zheng? From your words, I get the feeling that you idolize him a great deal. I wonder if my description is appropriate?” asked Si Jiali.

“No, not idolize; it’s absolutely idolized. Go, Wang Zheng, go!”

Zhang Zhun roared at the monitor.

“We are now talking to Captain Malolo of the Versailles Empire. Which team do you think will win the competition? And who do you think is the best in this SIG?”

Malolo of the Versailles Empire was undoubtedly a top player, and a regular soldier. Unfortunately, the Versailles Empire was not strong enough. Of course, the crucial fact was that the opponents were very strong too.

Malolo’s expression was still rather relaxed. “From the overall strengths and current situation, I would predict the Sword Shield Rose battle team to win the championship.”

Si Jiali smiled brightly. “Thank you. I will convey the message. Let’s hope the Sword Shield Rose battle team can really do it.”

“However, in my opinion, Wang Zheng is the player in this SIG to look out for. Even if he is not a top-class player now, he will definitely be the best of the younger generation within the next five years.”

Si Jiali was taken aback. “You don’t seem to have faced Wang Zheng before. Why would you think so?”

Malolo smiled slightly. “A lad from Earth who had just passed twenty leading a bunch of misfits, excuse the French, and yet managed to advance to the quarterfinals. After this SIG, he is very likely to become one of the youngest warriors to be named in the top one hundred of the X battle standings. Who should I favour, if not him?”

Si Jiali had interviewed quite a number of people, and she was surprised to find out that while many believed that the Sword Shield Rose battle team would win the championship, the MVP for this year’s SIG should be awarded to Wang Zheng, even if he would be eliminated in the semifinals.

The best writer was as hard to determine as the second best fighter. Wang Zheng was highly favoured by most people, regardless of whether they were the twenty-somethings or the mature thirty-something warriors.

“I predict that the Sea Queen battle team will be crowned champion. If the Atlanteans were not hiding, they would represent the strongest fighting power in the Milky Way Alliance. As for MVP, I think it should go to Wang Zheng,” said Kyle, captain of the Fiery Bear battle team.

“Captain Kyle, do you believe this because he is young?” asked Si Jiali strangely. She realised that as a representative of Aslan, Lin Feng did not have many supporters. Some even thought that even though Lin Feng might be stronger now, Wang Zheng would eventually surpass him. This was because even though Wang Zheng was the youngest among the Earth-rank warriors, he was highly skilled.

Kyle smiled. “It is not so. It’s not important if he’s twenty-something, or needs another five or six years. In terms of combat skills and Ability X, Wang Zheng is very well balanced. Of course, a few people in this SIG can achieve this too, and this is so pressuring us too. However, no one has as much spirit as Wang Zheng. If you watched the qualifier rounds, you would know. His ability to withstand stress is the strongest I have ever seen.”

The interviews were shown one after another. It was useless to blow your own trumpet. True strength came from gaining recognition from your opponents. Most people would discuss their own teams, but if they were to mention another team, it would be Wang Zheng first, followed by Lin Feng.

Si Jiali knew about Wang Zheng. Although she could not say she had a full understanding, he was not unfamiliar. Furthermore, she had also once admired him, maybe even liked him as girl would like a boy. Except that she did not think that Wang Zheng stood any chance. In terms of personal strengths, Lin Feng was more well-rounded, more mature, and more powerful.

But for some reason, everyone seemed to favour Wang Zheng. Maybe it was because of the appearance of being “weaker”. After all, Aslan was just too powerful. It was natural for them to wish in their hearts that Aslan could be suppressed.
