Although it was unlikely to happen, Aslan did not want to be the subject of ridicule. The top eight would be drawn by the representatives of the eight teams under the witness of many generals and the organizing committee. Of course, this process would not be as exaggerated as a sports competition. Under the circumstances of ensuring fairness, everyone would only know the results.
Actually, at this stage, the grouping was the most crucial. Clearly, the Sea Queen battle team had been listed as the most unpopular opponent.
For the contestants, they were concerned about other things.
Almost all the teams were studying the Atlanteans' Runic Battle Tactics.
In these years, everyone had a certain understanding of runes. Even Aslan and Elite Academy X had done research in this area, but they had all been taught a lesson by the Atlanteans.
This scene was a little too shocking. Frankly speaking, the Arbiters were not that weak. It was more likely that they had been beaten senseless. They had never encountered such a battle tactic and had not recovered in an instant.
It could only be said that the Iron and Steel battle team had bad luck. They had provided valuable experience for the other teams.
Of course, Wang Zheng and the rest were also studying. He did not believe in random encounters or the power of God. Any attack method had a rhythm and pattern, and there were traces to follow. First, they had to throw away the mystery and awe. Frankly speaking, no matter how exaggerated the Atlanteans were, it would not affect Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng, on the other hand, had been scared since he was young, so he was immune to such surprises.
Generally speaking, the Runic Battle Tactics should be a pattern triggered by the Atlanteans' spiritual control and runic technology. It was the same principle as the human's spiritual communication with Ability X, except that this should be a more complicated stage. Analogously, it was like the creation of martial arts by humans. The internal pattern of this breathing technique was the spiritual pattern of the Atlanteans.
But at least eight points of the breathing technique had to be initiated before one could understand the rest. But basically no one knew about the Atlantean formation, which meant that no one could find the way.
Under such circumstances, it was more to think about how to deal with such changes. From the Runic Battle Tactics that had appeared, there were defense, attack, and movement. No wonder the Atlanteans did not care about the movement box. They had the teleportation Runic Battle Tactics, but Wang Zheng did not believe that every Atlantean could do it.
Even if they could, their speed, strength, and stability would all be different. The Sea Queen battle team in this SIG was also one of the best from Atlantis. Not only Wang Zheng, but the other battle teams had the same reaction after calming down. Admittedly, they had to admit that Atlantis was strong, but it was not to the extent of saying that there was no solution.
Understanding was one thing, but it wasn't enough to give him a headache, because only the Sea God's next opponent would give him a headache, and every subsequent round would expose his opponent's weaknesses and characteristics.
As long as he observed more, he would find a solution.
As for the other seven teams, they were still relatively calm. They only hoped that they would not become the unlucky side dish.
The organizing committee did not delay any further. On the second night after the quarter-finals were confirmed, they released the battle list for the quarter-finals. At the same time, the battle list spread to hundreds of countries in the Milky Way Alliance in an instant.
First half:
Sword Shield Rose vs Child of Light
Dynasty vs Zero Degrees
The lower half:
Saruman Snake battle team vs Soulless battle team
Sea Queen Squad VS Heaven's Arrow Squad
When the battle list was released, the Earth side almost exploded, especially the Ares College. This was simply … even a dog could not possibly have such bad luck!
The lower half was simply the group of death. The most disgusting thing was that Saruman Snake's first battle was against Soulless. It was not Zero Degrees, but Soulless. This one word difference had a world of difference. Not to mention the strength of the Soulless battle team, even if they won, how many people could enter the semi-finals standing?
Alright, you're awesome. All of you entered the semi-finals. The semi-finals would be between the winner of the Sea Queen battle team and the Heaven's Arrow battle team. Even if the Heaven's Arrow battle team was a super dark horse, it was useless!
The one who drew the lot was Ai Xiaolu. This was undoubtedly a very honorable thing. All the members of Saruman Snake had unanimously agreed that Ai Xiaolu could be the representative, but after drawing this result, Ai Xiaolu was stunned. She really wanted to … chop off her hand!
After this incident, Ai Xiaolu had never drawn a lot again in her life. This was a story for another time.
But this was a foregone conclusion. No one could do anything about it. There were so many people present, including the generals and ambassadors of various countries. There was no way to cheat. Besides, she had drawn the lot herself.
But Saruman Snake battle team was not discouraged. They had really climbed step by step from the "bottom" to where they were today. They were used to resisting pressure. Besides, they had worked hard together to get to where they were today. In the midst of doubt and trust, these youngsters had built a different kind of relationship. Everyone only had this period of youth in their life. No one could turn back time. Even if they did not say it, there was a special trust in their hearts.
After this SIG, it was very likely that everyone would go their separate ways and pursue their own futures. Hence, if a storm struck, they would advance against the wind!
The situation in the upper half was relatively better. The Sword Shield Rose battle team's lot was not particularly good either. They were up against the strong Child of Light battle team. Their energy was at its peak. It was likely that this would be a headache for Lin Feng.
Relatively balanced, and also extremely lucky, were the Dynasty battle team and the Zero Degrees battle team. Seeing this result, the members of these two battle teams were probably celebrating. At least they had hopes of entering the top four.
On the contrary, the strongest Sea Queen battle team had met the weakest dark horse, the Heaven's Arrow battle team. Although the Heaven's Arrow battle team had performed amazingly in the Eliminated Military Officer College, they had also used a big move. The Resonance of the Five Elements was indeed magical. But the logic was the same. Such a big move could only be used once to catch the opponent off guard. The second time, at this level, the Resonance of the Five Elements would definitely have countermeasures. After all, the Resonance of the Five Elements was not as mysterious as the Atlantean Runic Matrices. Various countries had researched on it.
There was no way that it could be done. During this period of rest and adjustment, it was enough for the eight battle teams to be in peak condition. No matter what the outside world said, it could be said that everyone had come here with the heart of being the champion. The contempt of others was the best motivation for oneself. Using victory to make the opponent submit!
At the same time, because there were 100,000 live audience seats at the back of the arena, a portion of them would be allocated to various countries' embassies and representatives of various academies. The rest would be sold to the public, and the buyer's identity was limited to students. Aslan, being the home team, had also added a limit of 50,000 seats. After all, the journey was long, and it was also their home ground. It felt like Aslan wanted to see the Sword Shield Rose battle team reach the top on their doorstep. And looking at the overall situation, the Sword Shield Rose battle team had at least a 70% chance of entering the finals.
In the end, five minutes after the official website was opened, all tickets were sold out.
One could not help but sigh. There were so many rich students these days.
It was fine if they were from Aslan or nearby, but if they were from other places, they would probably have to take the interstellar express. This was an astronomical figure. Of course, this was also the best time to show off. Coming here once would allow one to show off for at least a year.
The key was that although the SIG this time was bumpy, it was the first large-scale competition of the top military schools in many years. At the same time, it was open to the public. The organizing committee had underestimated the desire of ordinary people to understand the "secrets".
