After about 10 days, Wang Zheng was discharged. Generally, those who had sustained grievous injuries like him would have their vital energy compromised. Physical recovery was not complete recovery. This means that the body was still "frail". But to Ability X users, their bodies were much stronger than average people's. Although, more time for recovery was always a good thing.

Wang Zheng felt a lot better than the doctors' diagnosis. The Primordial Regression Technique's cultivation had made his body very resilient and his recovery astounding. The Primordial Regression Technique was meant to cultivate vital energy, and that was something that non-martial arts practitioners could not compare with.

There was still some time before the main competition, and everyone was starting to panic in their preparations. Because too many casualties had occurred in the qualifiers, many were starting to have doubts about SIG's level. Most of all was Lya Sphinx's devastation. They had lost their general. Of course, Lya Sphinx's situation did not immediately spell doom for everyone, but the rest were not foolish. They knew that something was wrong with this situation.

If it had been special forces, their battle experience and practiced techniques, combined with self-mastery and the maturity of age, they would mostly be calm. There were less emotional fluctuations. But although the fighting power was high at SIG, it was weaker in terms of control. They were all youngsters, and under their hot-headed impulses, they might explode into super powers and cause casualties.

Countries were divided in opinion on this, but given these members' fighting power, there was not much that could be regulated. Of course, some representatives were of the opinion that warriors should not be afraid of death, and so on.

In the end, SIG's committee had adopted the majority sentiment, and decided to use a safer approach before the top four. A completely realistic simulated environment would be used that would at least protect one's life. But their reason was that it was the first time that the space box would be used in actual battle, and they had to ensure usage safety.

This reason was justified, but Lya Sphinx's representative raised vigorous objections, but to deaf ears. Lya Sphinx's delegation had left, and still no one cared. The fact that they had sent Qiqin Nacchai was already a low move. And now that they were shut down, they should be reflecting on their own issues. To try to drag others down into pain as well naturally ostracized them.

As one of the 10 permanent council members, Lya Sphinx had extremely robust foundations, but they could not find their place on an international stage in recent years. This was also because their politicians had adopted a problematic approach, and they could not control the situation well.

KO Group had already conducted countless tests on the box. Besides numerical calculations, actual battle trials had been conducted under all sorts of environments. There were definitely no problems. It was a mature product. Of course, Ye Zisu's words were useless. Others needed to test it out, and this SIG was also very important to the KO Group.

The product was a great notion, and perhaps it looked like it would be popular. But before being commercialized, there would still be changes.

As the main director, Ye Zisu had also come to Aslan, and was on the receiving end of the imperial family's warm hospitality. It was said that the Princess greatly favored Ye Zisu, and Ye Zisu had been directly invited to the palace. News traveled quickly, that Aslan had taken a deep interest in this hot mecha designer genius.

In recent years, it was difficult to produce an attractive mech. The Storm Swordsman, the Wind God, the Giant Mech, and then the space box. It was a rare bright spark in the saturated mecha market.

Wang Zheng had already returned to his team and training. He had used the space box before, but that was during the testing phase. And now it had been refined.

Zhang Shan was relaxed. The translocation distance was still very short, just six meters. This was just a lifesaving dodge for mecha. It was not useless, but the distance was fixed, unlike Zhang Shan's own controllable one.

The top 64 teams in the main competition were all getting used to this new product. Many teams were already confident with it. There were many geniuses at SIG, and this technology could be used in a myriad of ways. It was also a good reference for the propagation of it.

Wang Zheng himself was getting used to it as well. The greatest use of the space box was that it made predictions even more difficult. One could predict the opponent's capacity and limits, but with this, the variations were not just in distance, but also in direction.

Unfortunately, this was also something that many warriors were thinking about. Wang Zheng had tried it out a few times, getting used to it. This would test one's instant response. Because both parties had it, the question was simply whether one's use was earlier or later. If it was common, then under normal circumstances, they should cancel out.

As for the attacking scout and fighter positions, it felt like they would use it first, for obvious effects. As for the tanks and snipers, they could use it more defensively. There was no frequency, and using it to proactively attack did not seem like it would be that effective. Of course, these were just general rules. One's reaction on the spot would be more important.

Mu Zhen was very popular. He commanded attention. The qualifiers had shown off the Tita people's strength, that the giants were not just dumb muscle, but true warriors of the jungle.

For the top 32 fights, their first opponent was very strong. It was the second team from Manalasuo, the Mala Storm battle team. Jondi Lilick was in the Empire's college team, whereas this Storm battle team was assembled from elites from various major colleges, which had gone through a qualifier. Their ability was fairly amazing as well.

The competition format was 3+2. Three rounds of single challenge, and then one team battle. The team battle was worth two points, and the single challenges 1 each.

This would average the individual ability and group ability across each team.

For some reason, this felt like it was targeted against Saruman Snake. Everyone knew that Saruman Snake's team fighting was much better than their individual fighting. As for Wang Zheng, they could send cannon fodder to deal with him, and that was actually easier to deal with.

After the qualifiers, everyone clearly recognized Wang Zheng's ability. He had a terrifying physical technique, coupled with Earth-rank Ability X, and he specialized in a few models of mecha. He was truly the demon king in the main competition.

Anyone who faced the Saruman Snake battle team had best carefully analyze and counter Wang Zheng.

The Mala Storm battle team had already begun their detailed counter-driven analysis against their target.

Leader Satie was also a leader of Manalasuo's younger generation, along with Jondi Lilick. 27 years old, and an Earth-rank warrior. To him, this SIG was a chance for him to overtake Jondi Lilick in influence. An international stage was the best way.

Of course, when their opponent was decided as the Saruman Snake battle team, the whole team's spirits sank.

Hot? A chance?

The exact opposite. The one that Satie was least willing to face in the top 32 was definitely Saruman Snake!

Elite Academy X's Greatest King, number one at the qualifier. Lucky?

Was there such good luck in the world?

Just Wang Zheng alone would be overwhelming. And they had received news that Wang Zheng was injured, although they did not know how much he had recovered.

Wang Zheng was particularly famous on Manalasuo, and this was something that even Wang Zheng himself did not know. General Bolet always sang his praises, and he had reinvented the use of Golden Wheel Battle King. This had led many Manalasuo schools to research him. Elite Academy X's Greatest King Competition had enriched their data, and Satie himself had seen all of Wang Zheng's fights. After Wang Zheng entered Earth-rank, his confidence was shaken.

As for the all-rounded technique and tenacity that he displayed, that inspired despair. If it could be said that different opponents triggered different levels of performance, then during the qualifiers, Satie had seen Wang Zheng's awe-inspiring display from the trees.

That physical technique's level made one thing clear. He understood the power within his body and the harnessable power in the world. Such a state was virtually impossible to find in fighters below the age of 30 in the Milky Way Alliance. Nobody could achieve simultaneous pinnacles in both physical technique and Ability X.

But Wang Zheng had done it. When that finger had touched Qiqin Nacchai, he had seen it with his own eyes. He was a distance away from the battlefield, but he could feel the despair from Qiqin Nacchai, an Earth-rank warrior. He had "feigned weakness" to set up a killing window, and delivered the fatal move. Wang Zheng's battle psychology was completely developed, and his attack power was something that Satie still did not understand. What power was that?

Mecha battles were very different from physical technique, but the problem was that Satie was not so naive to think that he had a chance of winning. Their level of comprehension directly reflected how a variety of battles would go.

But now they had been paired with the Saruman Snake battle team. There was no turning back now.

Counter. They had to counter Saruman Snake's imbalanced ability. SIG not only tested a team's hard ability, but also the leader's ability to command.
