Chapter 809 - Number One Rookie

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng kicked Zhang Shan away with a kick. Nothing good ever came out of this brat. The problem was that he didn’t knew what Lin Huiyin was angry about. However, she was still a kid. Throwing a tantrum was also normal.

Wang Zheng didn’t take it to heart and directly suppressed Zhang Shan. Student Zhang Shan was actually very gossipy. However, under the threat of violence, he had no other choice but to give up.

On the second day, Wang Zheng visited Butcher first. The design of the runic mech for the five of them had basically been completed. What was left would be to pass it over to the factory for production.

“Senior, how’s the situation in the Abyss now?” asked Wang Zheng. After having an experience in the Abyss, he was still very concerned about it.

Butcher laughed, “Brat, you are really a strange person. Wherever you go to, there would be incidents. I heard that you had created a huge mess in Hail Cloud Alliance.”

Wang Zheng tried to express his innocence and replied,” This incident had nothing to do with me. I’m am the one who is feeling bottled up. It was supposed to be a good training opportunity and yet we actually encountered the pirates in such a deserted place.”

“The responses of you and the rest were very good and you had all won glory for the Academy. Although the Academy didn’t say anything, the fact was that everyone was very happy about it.”

“Senior, Elite Academy is the best Academy in the Milky Way Galaxy. They shouldn’t be lacking in such glory, right?” Wang Zheng felt a little strange.

Butcher shook his head and only laughed. He didn’t go deeper into this topic. “Based on the intelligence that you have brought back, the military had attempted to go deeper into the Abyss 6 times over this period of time. However, all of these attempts ended in failure. Among which, there was one time where the losses were greater. Currently, there shouldn’t be any further plans. Nonetheless, the rewards were rather generous. At least we had gotten the attention of the relevant authorities on the Abyss. We couldn’t risk losing more for a small cause.”

Wang Zheng nodded his head. Humans had this bad habit and that was to believe that everything was under their control. This type of thinking would often lead to problems. He had stayed in the core of the Abyss previously. Although he didn’t have nightmares over it, the impression he got was still deep. Whether the human armies could withstand such a Zerg unit would still be hard to determine.

“If there’s a chance, I would like to go to the Abyss to train myself.” said Wang Zheng.

Butcher smiled. This brat was truly more suitable to be a warrior. His genes for adventure was really too strong.

“I heard that you have formed a battle team?” asked Butcher casually.

“Ah senior, you knew about that? It’s called Saruman Snake battle team. I had formed it with some of you friends.”

“Of course I knew about it. The number one rookie battle team in Elite Academy! It’s hard for me to not know anything about it.” teased Butcher.

Instantly, Wang Zheng’s face turned red. After being around for so long, it was still the first time he was called such a name. Zhang Shan was really like a pig. Even if he wished to accumulate experiences, couldn’t he have kept a lower profile?

“Cough cough. Failures are the stepping stones to success. We are freshmen after all.”

“Haha. As the captain, you should be preparing yourself. I had high hopes for you. If this continued, even I would be embarrassed. The internal management of the school has started to attach higher importance to leadership and commanding capabilities. This isn’t just a short-term trend. For a long time in the future, this would be Elite Academy’s or even all the military schools’ in the entire Milky Way Alliance’s main direction.” said Butcher.

Wang Zheng was stunned. In the past, every military academy would also have their battle team. Even IG had them. However, they weren’t being valued particularly.

“Senior, did something happen?”

Butcher smiled and replied, “Whether anything had happened has nothing to do with you now. Brat if you want to be successful, you have to lead your battle team properly. Do you have the confidence to do so?”

Wang Zheng smiled confidently. “It would be nothing!”

“Great, I would be looking forward then. If you can’t shake off the title of the number 1 rookie, don’t come back and look for me in the future.”

Wang Zheng nodded. Zhang Shan had created quite a huge mess. However, he could understand it. Most typical battle teams were from the same country. When honing their chemistry, there wouldn’t be any barriers. A team like Saruman Snake battle team would face quite a number of problems. Through fighting with random opponents and failures, this had united everyone instead. It was at least able to make them abandoned their desire to perform quickly and stopped having flamboyantly thoughts.

Vincent had settled down now. He had come with his own ambitions to glorify the Golden Wheel. In addition, he wanted to showcase the awe of Manalasuo in his battles even more.

Manalasuo was also one of the bigger powers in Elite Academy. They had many students and many of them were even masters. They had also formed many battle teams. Although Vincent was well-known, this level of fame wasn’t enough to bring something new in the Elite Academy. However, Manalasuo still had its opinions regarding Vincent joining the Saruman Snake battle team.

“Vincent, have you thought about it? Let’s join the Death God battle team. Their captain had said that they would vacant the main attacker position for you.”

Said Lu Fei. He was from Manalasuo and was in the Xuan Grade Class 1. He was also the heavy tank of the Death God battle team. Although Saruman Snake battle team had kept losing, Vincent’s performance was still remarkable. It was especially so for his Golden Wheel and he was comparable to Wang Zheng in it. Although there were many masters in Manalasuo, there still wasn’t any reason to benefit others.

Vincent smiled and replied, “Senior, I’m doing pretty well in Saruman Snake’s battle team. Moreover, if I was to leave now, wouldn’t that make me a deserter?”

“You brat, we, Manalasuo, are so strong. What are you doing hanging around with Wang Zheng for? The group from Solar System couldn’t be considered as weak. However, they must be crazy to split up. They only had this little people and yet they formed three random teams.”

Wang Zheng’s Saruman Snake battle team, Lear’s Dynasty battle team and Achilles and Lie Xin had finally decided to cooperate and formed the Fiery Moon battle team.

“Our Manalasuo is very strong and it wouldn’t matter if I’m not around. Thank you senior for your kind intentions. I would like to learn more while following Wang Zheng.”

“Che. You are really a brat. Wang Zheng is a rookie in team battles too. The team consciousness has to be honed and the coordination would need time to accumulate. Those small countries wouldn’t be able to do well. You really wouldn’t give up until you hit the wall!” Lu Fei shook his head helplessly.

Vincent only smiled. He waited for Takumi’s lesson to end and went to the training room to gather together with him. Wang Zheng had finally returned.

Over this period of time, Saruman Snake battle team had lost too badly. Other than the main team members, the rest were lacking in enthusiasm. Wang Zheng’s return had finally lifted the spirits a little.

When Zhang Shan saw Snow Li, he immediately started scrutinizing her. Using his “dog nose” to sniff, he could tell something was wrong. Something was really wrong!

He looked at Wang Zheng next. Something was wrong. Something was really wrong!

Wang Zheng was speechless. “What kind of look are you giving me!”

Zhang Shan licked his lips and said, “Wang Zheng, tell me, aren’t we brothers?”

“We aren’t.” said Wang Zheng decisively.

Zhang Shan no longer wanted to continue. “Did you all hear that? Wang Zheng you ungrateful brat! How could you abandon me? I don’t want to live anymore.”

Magjull and the rest were speechless. “If you want to die, die quickly at another corner. Snow Li, you do seem more pretty. Could it be that Aisbotan can even improve one’s looks?”

Snow Li was stunned. In fact, it wasn’t because of what Magjull and the others had said. It was because almost everyone she met had said the same thing.

“Cough cough. Everyone, shouldn’t we be discussing about our training plans. As for questions on how to improve one’s looks, we can discuss slowly after our training had ended.” said Wang Zheng. He was the captain after all. Everyone should at least show him some respect.

Zhang Shan’s gossipy spirit was ignited. There’s must be something. There must definitely be something. How inhumane was the captain going to be? To be taking advantage of him more and more, this wasn’t reasonable!

Wang Zheng did not pay attention to Zhang Shan. The more attention you gave him, the more he would be into it. His current relationship with Snow Li was rather delicate and they had a mutual agreement. Both of them had opened themselves to the other party. At least Snow Li could understand this. Although they did not get into a boy-girl relationship, they seemed to have found a bosom friend and had become closer instead.

For the entire team, this was undoubtedly a better place to be.

“Zhang Shan, what a temporary captain you have been. We had already lost so badly that others are seeing us as dogs.” Ai Xiaolu wouldn’t be courteous and immediately started reprimanding Zhang Shan.

“Sis, could you not be so mean? Do you think I had it easy? I didn’t mind the chores and haven’t been complaining about it. At the same time, I had to be criticized. Although the records are a little ugly, we have at least identified all the weaknesses of the team. Let’s invite the captain to continue next. Applause please!”

Zhang Shan jumped into the table and roared... no one paid attention to him.

“I have seen everyone’s videos. From here on, lets reallocate the roles of the team. Takumi would take the tank, Snow Li would be the sniper, Zhang Shan would take the role of a mobile warrior, Vincent would be the attacker and I would be responsible for scouting.”

Said Wang Zheng.

When he ended his sentence, everyone was taken aback. This was because Zhang Shan used to be responsible as a scout. With this change, it would be equivalent to wasting the strongest Wang Zheng.

“Wang Zheng, it wouldn’t seem to be good this way. How could you take the scout role. It would be too wasteful.” Ai Xiaolu was the first to object. The rest were also feeling a little strange. There wasn’t anything like giving up a role in the battle team. They had all looked towards Zhang Shan.

“Zhang Shan, could it be that you had threatened Wang Zheng?”

“It must be!”

Instantly, it became a condemnation ceremony. Zhang Shan felt wronged. “Are you guys still human? Am I such a person?”

Everyone nodded their head. Zhang Shan really wanted to find a piece of “tofu” and just die from hitting his head against it. He could no longer carry on. His glorious image had been tarnished!

Wang Zheng smiled as he waved his hands. “It has nothing to do with Zhang Shan. I have seen our battle videos and the videos of those better teams. The scout position has to possess a controlling type Ability X and Vincent’s destructive power is enough. Obviously, this would only be a set of line up. When going against different captains, we would also swap our positions around. Zhang Shan and I could swap interchangeably.”

“Wang Zheng, your Ability X doesn’t seem to be of the direct control type, right?” asked Vincent curiously.

“I had some enlightenment recently and we could practise a little.”

The group was using the specialised training mode. Although the computer-generated opponents were weaker, it would still be enough to be used as practicing their teamwork.

With Wang Zheng and Snow Li returning, the lineup could finally be considered as complete. The whole process was also relatively smoother. Wang Zheng’s so-called control was using his Ice Ability to achieve control through freezing. How should this put? This could still be considered as a controlling ability. Some battle teams also used it. However the Ice Ability was easy to counter. For example, it could be entangled by someone using a Fire Ability. In such cases, it would be very difficult to be effective. Luo Fei’s ability was the kind that would be hard to guard against.

Therefore, Luo Fei was rather famous recently. Obviously, fatty hated the fact that he was famous.

After training for over an hour, everyone finally had a certain level of understanding. With Wang Zheng as the scout, although his mobility was slightly worse than Zhang Shan, he was much more stable than Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan died easily when rushing into the enemies’ formation. However, the difficulty in dealing with Wang Zheng would be higher. As long as Zhang Shan was not the first one to take the brunt of the opponent’s firepower, with his opportunistic battle style, it would indeed be better for him to perform. As for the attacker, Vincent, nothing much had to be said.

However, training was still training after all. Without an opponent, they wouldn’t be able to assess themselves.

Sometimes, when you spoke of the devil, it was sure to appear.
