Ai Xiaolu had officially entered a busy phase. The top 16 had been born, and that meant that future opponents would appear. The major teams had entered a short break, and there was too much information needed. This information was not only for the Saruman Snake Battle Team, but also for the Ai Financial Group's own growth and her own training. Such an experience, especially the process of influencing the outcome, was something that ordinary people could never experience. And the experience it brought to Ai Xiaolu was also very important.
Even with Ai Xiaolu's situation, there were some inexplicable feelings within, and not much excitement. This was different from Luo Er. Compared to her, Luo Er was full of fighting spirit for the future. What Luo Er had learned needed to be realized in society, while Ai Xiaolu had experienced many business struggles a long time ago. She had seen and experienced it, and it was really boring. Everything stemmed from desire, but could not be stopped, because once she stopped, she would be eaten up. She had chosen to leave the financial world and choose Elite Academy X to escape. She could get it, but why fight so much?
When she was young, it was for praise and for vanity. But she had lost her happiness very quickly. Now she had another reason, and so Ai Xiaolu was rekindled.
Here, Luo Er couldn't help much. Luo Er had quite a few subordinates who were involved in all aspects of politics. Matters that involved special principles were quite troublesome for them, but they were quite familiar with some of the conveniences. The two of them worked together quite smoothly. Let's put it this way: the two of them together were basically equivalent to Aina's current weight.
"Luo Er, how's the situation on your side? Any news from Kashawen?"
"You think I'm omnipotent? That's Aslan's Prime Minister. There are no clues at the moment, and they won't be worried if they can't feel the finals. Aslan's public relations have been very good recently. It seems like they have high hopes for the seats in the parliament," Luo Er said.
"How confident is your father?" Ai Xiaolu knew that this matter was important to Ryan. The proportion of seats in the parliament would also affect his future election as Chairman.
Although Ryan was balancing things out, it was obvious that the interests of the weak federation that he represented were no longer in line with the requirements of the great empire. Originally, they only wanted him to put on a show on the stage. In the end, Ryan had fully displayed his strength. Coupled with the good foundation of the Gemini Star, they had formed a huge political force within the Milky Way Alliance. Incidents like the TitaTitan Star were just the tip of the iceberg. It was impossible for Aslan to not want to touch Ryan.
Ruining Aslan's plans was also in line with Luo Er's needs. It all depended on whether the Saruman Snake battle team could make a name for themselves.
"Right, let me tell you something interesting. S class," Luo Er said with a laugh.
"Oh?" Ai Xiaolu was stunned. This level of information was not easily accessible, at least not in the Aishi Financial Group. This was the difference. No matter how rich one was, it was hard to get access to such secrets.
"The interstellar exploration team we sent was completely annihilated."
Ai Xiaolu frowned. What kind of S class was this? Wait a minute. "You mean that one?"
"Yes. The most important thing is that before the fleet disappeared, they sent back a photo. It seemed like they had discovered something incredible. I don't know the specifics either. You can try," Luo Er said.
Ai Xiaolu nodded. This sort of thing did not seem to matter, but if it was grasped well, it could be a trump card for the Milky Way Alliance's financial market.
At least they had to be mentally prepared. But their most important task now was to win SIG.
Wang Zheng and the rest were not idle either. After defeating the Dark Knight battle team, they had also entered recovery training. Wang Zheng was constantly integrating the Primordial Regression Technique with his own Five Elements. Ever since he had comprehended the Five Elements, Wang Zheng had a new understanding of his cultivation techniques. Comparing them with each other, he had gained some insights. From understanding to actual combat, there was still a certain amount of transformation, but it was no longer the same. For example, the wind wall. Pure wind attribute was a dead end, but the wind wall with the balance of the Five Elements was no longer just wind. It was a barrier that specifically targeted Ability X. Such progress was unimaginable to outsiders.
Wang Zheng was in control. He had to control. He could not let himself get too excited. The closer he got to this stage, the more he had to be stable. Those flashy actions were only for outsiders to see. His heart had to remain calm, and at the same time, he had to adjust his state. If he exploded too early, it would be dangerous.
With Wang Zheng's current level, he had already confirmed his opponents. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of hidden masters. Luo Fei did not count. Luo Fei's ability was there. No matter how Lear hid, or if he had no weaknesses, these were not important. Luo Fei was not his match. This had nothing to do with ability. This was Luo Fei's nature. Lear could not change it, at least not completely.
Aslan's Lin Feng, Soulless' Aragorn, Atlantis' Dina Atlas, and Maya's Matt Locatelli. These four people were no less powerful than him, not to mention the strength of the team. Wang Zheng could already feel it. If there were no other factors, Wang Zheng believed that he could win, or at least had a great chance. But this was SIG, and there were too many additional factors. If he wanted to beat them, he needed to become stronger, and a little more!
Confidence was for others to see, and he had to establish the belief that he would not lose. But he was very clear about his opponents' abilities, especially since he was not clear about the backgrounds of these few people. Even if Ai Xiaolu had investigated them, it would only be the tip of the iceberg. And he had been tested many times in the Greatest King Competition and the qualifiers. No matter how confident Wang Zheng was, he had also felt in these few rounds of battles that he could only win by surprise. The only thing that he was confident of not being able to crack was the Atomic Blast. But this was also a move that hurt both the opponent and himself. He was not absolutely sure about the others. This was also a situation where he had to control the rhythm. Once the rhythm was controlled by the opponent, it would be very difficult.
Frankly speaking, the mech techniques of Sword Shield Rose, Atlantis, and Maya were still slightly better than the other teams. Although the mech was not absolute, when the strength was about the same, the advantage of performance was very fatal.
Old Merchant often said that intelligence determined success or failure. But sometimes, brute force was really needed.
The next day, all the team members received the top eight battle list:
1. Soulless battle team (Arbiter) vs. Imperial Glory battle team (Elite Academy X)
An unfamiliar old captain. The battle between Arbiter and Aslan. This was also a tough battle. Aragorn was defending Arbiter's pride, or the genius Di Maria was defending Aslan's glory. Based on the current results and performance, the Soulless battle team had a certain advantage.
2. Dynasty battle team (Elite Academy X) vs. Gravity battle team (Gemini Star)
Lear was undoubtedly underestimated. His draw was not bad. The Gravity battle team had entered the top 16, but they were not the strongest. If they could suppress their opponents in physical techniques, the Dynasty battle team had a 60% chance of winning.
3. Light of Light battle team (Maya) vs. Devil Dragon battle team (Earthworm Federation)
The Mayans' performance was unfathomable. This time, their team members' use of light energy was beyond imagination, allowing the Mayan civilization to rise to the same level as Atlantis. As for the Devil Dragon battle team, it felt like the Earthworm Federation had completed their mission by entering the top 16. The Maya battle team had a 90% chance of winning.
4. Saruman Snake battle team (Elite Academy X) vs. Golden Wheel battle team (Manalasuo)
A tough battle. Without a doubt, this was another challenge from Wang Zheng. Jonde Lilick's strength was also unquestionable. Both sides had similar momentum. What was more important was their performance. In terms of momentum, the Saruman Snake battle team had a slight advantage.
5. Sword Shield Rose Knight battle team (Aslan), Radiant battle team (Versailles Empire)
Lin Feng's battle team was Aslan's trump card. Although the Radiance battle team was strong, it still felt like they could not stop the Sword Shield Rose Knights from advancing. The Sword Shield Rose Knights battle team had a 90% chance of winning.
6. Zero Degrees Battle Team (Hail Cloud Alliance), Fire Bear Battle Team (Big Bear Federation)
This was a battle where the difference in strength wasn't too great. Team Zero Degrees had the upper hand, but in the end, it still depended on the performance of the two teams.
7. Sea Queen battle team (Atlantis), Iron and Steel battle team (Arbiter Republic)
The strong collided. The Atlanteans and the Arbiters had met. It was like Mars colliding with Earth. No matter who won, it was expected.
8 Pioneer battle team (Heaven's Arrow Federation) Military Academy battle team (Aslan Empire)
The Aslan Military Academy team had the upper hand. The Pioneers had entered the top 16 and had completed their mission.
