8. Zero Degrees battle team

The strongest team that Hail Cloud Alliance was sending. Hail Cloud Alliance’s military power was far from its fast-paced economic development. This was something that Hail Cloud Alliance had always wanted to change.

Leader: Ai Zhengyang

Hail Cloud Alliance had sent three teams to compete. Ai Zhengyang’s Zero Degrees battle team also had two Earth-rank warriors, and was noteworthy.

9. Dark Knight battle team

The best team from Darkness Empire. Darkness Empire was also a nation that had developed vigorously in the last few decades. Compared to Arbiter and Manalasuo, Darkness Empire’s offensive power was even stronger, and their ambitions for power and territory were more obvious. That was why Darkness Empire’s shadow could now be seen in all kinds of international affairs.

The Dark Knight battle team was no last-minute team. It was the strongest team from Darkness Empire, the finest weather-beaten veterans. Darkness Empire’s best military schools were run in quasi-military fashion themselves, and were widely touted as the most cruel military schools in the Milky Way Alliance. The dropout rate was alarming.

This time round, the first Dark Knight battle team had qualified directly. Leader González was also known as the Ghost King. At 30, this was definitely the peak period for a fighter. action

Darkness Empire’s ambitions were high for this SIG. One noteworthy thing was that this team was entering SIG for the first time, but they had competed in other major military competitions in the Milky Way Alliance before, with all members passing through and achieving fairly commendable results.

In Elite Academy X, Sloughberg was deemed as a fairly good scout. His Ability X was very unique. But this Bonthe family member had come to Elite Academy X precisely because he had not been able to stand the unforgiving training methods of the Empire’s schools.

10. Radiance battle team.

A team from the Versailles Empire, an old superpower. They were similar to the Aslan Empire. Although they did not have a monarchy, their economic power was profound, and their technological surplus bountiful. They were an artistic empire.

Leader: Malolo, 32 years old. The oldest leader among the top 10 teams. He was clearly no “student”. He was an assistant teacher at the Versailles Empire’s military college, and 319 on the X Leaderboards. He had plenty of command ability and battle experience.

These were the top 10 teams that the SIG officials had released.

It was f*cking useless. If they really adhered to ability only, Arbiter and Aslan, and even Elite Academy X could add a team or two, but clearly this was also structured to give more teams a chance at exposure. No matter how proud, even Aslan would not field two teams.

Of course, to be qualified for seeding, one had to have some skills. Earth-rank was the basic requirement. Each position of the teams had to stand up to the tests.

At this time, looking at the Saruman Snake battle team, it really seemed like a lonely place up at the top.

Wang Zheng was actually suspecting that SIG had not done it on purpose. Of course, it was not that Kashawen was not inclined to do so. Only, this was a matter trivial enought that the Prime Minister herself would not bother.

Others were reading this as well. Saruman Snake was a lone shark, but not even Zhang Shan would get a swollen head over it. Anyone with the slightest bit of brain knew that this position would be targeted before the battle even started.

The good thing was, now Saruman Snake’s reputation was already established after the second iteration of Greatest King, and Zhang Shan and the rest felt it would be prudent to lay low for a while.

Wang Zheng was less concerned about all this. Rankings and such things were irrelevant. What was important was their performance in the competition.

The Skylink rang, the tone extremely shrill. It was Mu Fengchun... he was the matchmaker?

“Old Mu, don’t tell me it’s you making the introduction?”

“Butcher must have clued you in. It’s not a deliberate thing, I just felt that it was a good opportunity. You’re both on Aslan, both young, you should meet. You probably have quite a bit in common. The girl’s looks aside, I can vouch for her character. And as for family background, although we didn’t consider that, coming from a nice family doesn’t hurt. Their family owns the biggest shipping group in Aslan. You must have heard of the Galaxy HU Group, right?” Mu Fengchun laughed happily.

Wang Zheng could not do much about it. Why was it that people of that age seemed to love such things? Everyone knew about Galaxy HU, the ultimate financial oligarch. In this era, anyone who dared take the title of “Galaxy” was either super awesome, or some small fry. Besides, galactic export and infrastructure needed the backing and military power of a superpower; otherwise, galactical trade would either be interfered with by other nations and pirates as well.

HU represented safety, speed, and efficiency. The group used their export infrastructure as the base, and had branched out into other industries. They were an indisputable giant in the Galaxy.

This was also one of Aslan’s specialties, with investments all over the Milky Way Alliance.

In comparison, KO Group was quite small. But Wang Zheng did not undervalue himself. They had built it themselves bit by bit, whereas the others had been born with it.

“Old Mu, since the girl is so excellent, if she doesn’t fancy me, don’t blame me for shaming your face.”

“Nonsense. When did you become so self-deprecating? This move won’t work. You must have come from a line of greatness, and you’re the heir. You’ve left the rest so far behind now. I’ve sent you her information. A very amiable girl. Take a look for yourself. And don’t use the competition as an excuse.”

Wang Zheng broke out into a cold sweat. This bunch of old wily guys. They had left him without the slightest chance of a counter.

He would meet her. After all, he had agreed. Yan Xiaosu, that damned fatty. He better pull this off beautifully. He had dragged himself into this as well.

Yan Xiaosu sneezed incessantly. His side was going very smoothly. Both promotion and work were roaring along. Where there had only been sparrows at his door, now it was a bustling city. But Yan Xiaosu was not too bothered about all this. The preliminary selection was under Jasper’s responsibility.

Jasper and Gabre were worked to the bone, but the two were tirelessly happy. Jasper was still alright. He was already used to Yan Xiaosu’s revolutionary ways. It was Gabre’s first time experiencing it, and the sensation was sublime.

“Jasper, I’m still in a muddle. How can what you say succeed?” In the recess room, Gabre was gulping his drink. Outside, Laurel was in charge.

“I’m used to it now. Well? Did your family praise you over the moon?”

“Haha, they did. My nose is held high. You know that we’re not short on money, and don’t have that big of an ambition. We just spend within our means. But this feeling is too awesome. Before, the family looked at me like a ghost, and now I’m regarded as an equal. You know my old man, he never holds back when he scolds someone. He praised me so hard for a while.” Gabre was evidently content. In fact, what these rich heirs really needed was recognition for themselves.

“Likewise. It’s exactly this feeling that makes me willing to follow him. You must know about the Genesis Coffee Club. The forerunner of humankind’s scientific development, and the highest privileges in the Milky Way Alliance. With this security, the route safety is much better.”

“I don’t really understand this arrangement. Even if the countries along the way give respect, will pirates do the same?” Gabre was unconvinced.

“You dummy. These pirates are scared that the military will take action against them. As for those rampant pirate groups, they will definitely not be a problem along our route. No need to worry over much.”
