SIG did not just revolve around Wang Zheng. All the major formidable teams had also revealed their fangs one after another.

The entrance of the Sword Shield Rose Rider battle team was also widely followed. To be exact, all eyes were on them. That passion, that craze, it sufficiently showed their status within Aslan.

Lin Feng did not stay hidden - he had immediately entered battle in the first round. The mech that he used…

Had a pure silver outer appearance, engraved with many lines of runes. However, it was a runic mecha from humans, and not of the Atlanteans. At the same time, it was different from Elite Academy X's. It had originated from the real Aslan skills.

Kashawen had personally arrived at the arena to watch the battle. The Prime Minister, who had always seemed as if she had given up on SIG, had finally showed her face. She completely disregarded Wang Zheng. It seemed like the "declaration of war" before the qualifying battle had been nothing much.

This was no longer a competition, but instead Aslan's martial arts exhibition.

Aslan has once again moved into the frontlines in the area of mech development.

Lin Feng performed the capabilities, strength, speed, defense, and flexibility of the runic mech perfectly. Sword Shield Rose Rider had advanced with a score of three to one. The warriors had not displayed much of their own strength but had only relied on the mech's superiority to suppress the opponent. At the same time, there was again a new technological innovation in Aslan's new runic mech model. It did not seem like a big issue, but the combat results were absolutely shocking. It was the runic energy shield. The energy hood had been replaced with an energy shield in the right arm of the mech. It could be activated any time, covering seventy percent of the front area of mech. The flexibility was something that the energy hood could not compare to. At the same time, as the energy was concentrated on one area, the tenacity and strength to defend attacks had increased greatly.

Aslan had once again relied on its technology to stun the world. After this battle, all the military experts of each country would be frantic. Would this lead to a new generation of innovation?

This might make the military personnel lose sleep.

The Versailles Empire's Radiance battle team against the Sagittarius Alliance battle team.

The Radiance battle team, as a top ten seeded battle team, evidently held the absolute advantage, winning two rounds continuously. However, at the third round, they were forcefully overturned by the Sagittarius' captain, bringing the decisive round to the team battle.

To the Versailles Empire, this was a disgrace!

The Sagittarius Galaxy's Alliance team did not come from one country, it had been formed by multiple mid-level countries' colleges…

They were of legitimate age. The captain, as the oldest, was only thirty-one years old. Their overall evaluation was that they were a "lower mid" battle team, but in the end, they had dragged the dignified top ten seeded Radiance battle team to the team battle segment!

The anger they felt caused Versailles' Radiance battle team to reveal the claws that they had always kept tightly hidden.

The team's rhythm was impeccably tight. With rapport of greater telepathic connection than those of twins, in addition to their individual capabilities, they oppressively destroyed the Sagittarius Alliance Team, who had just ignited their hopes, with one blow.

Sometimes, hopes would actually cause you to fall from an even more tragic cliff.

"This does not look like team cohesion. It should be that one of the members has an Ability X that can interlink the team's thoughts."

"F*ck, they're already in the top sixteen and yet there is so little intelligence on them."

"It's alright, at least it's better than not having anything."

Each team's intelligence gathering members were all rubbing their heads. Versailles may have exploded in this round, but in actuality, they had exposed a pitifully small amount of information. Out of the ten seeded battle teams, the Radiance battle team's protection work was the tightest.

Versailles had clearly started with a foul beginning.

In the battle of Arbiter's Iron and Steel College's battle team against the Cancer Alliance's Infinite Stars battle team, it had been three rounds of blood oppression.

Captain Ogas directed Dynasty College.

What Mars had left behind, the Iron and Steel College would pick it back up. After all, Mars had originated from the same place, and the fall this time had been a huge blow for the Iron and Steel College. The Iron and Steel battle team had to stand strong. If not, a huge problem would occur in their supply of students for the next three years. If they disappeared, others would grow stronger, and Warrior Soul College would become unrivalled.

Lear evidently disregarded such provocations. Such trifle tauntings totally underestimated Lear's unrivalled skin, it was just that Luo Fei had still not appeared. This fatty seemed to not even have come out to eat at all. His food had been delivered by his teammates, resulting in everyone not gaining a single bit of intelligence at all.

Manalasuo's Golden Wheel battle team and Aslan's Military Officer School battle team had all easily advanced through.

The biggest black horse team of this SIG was the Heaven's Arrow Federation's Harbinger battle team and the Big Bear Federation's Fiery Bear battle team. They had both exhibited valiant battle capabilities no lesser than that of the other teams that had advanced.

For the last advancement battle, Atlantis' Sea Queen battle team was up against the Gandella Federation's Nebula battle team.

There was no suspense at all.

However, the difference this time was that the people of Atlantis had started to reveal their Ability Xs instead of just relying on the runic mecha's formidable might.

With Ability Xs converted with their strong mental strength, in addition to the runic mecha's special capabilities, the Sea Queen battle team was a hurricane that could not be obstructed. Anything that stood in their way would either become a part of that hurricane or have their bodies' torned and bones crushed.

The formidable teams that appeared later were more aggressive than the previous, seemingly stimulated by the Saruman Snake battle team and the Dynasty battle team. Overall, they could crush their opponents to bits just by slightly moving their pinkies, and these formidable teams had exhibited the strength in their entire team's impeccability, especially the suppressiveness in their mech skills.

Unfair?

This was fairness. These teams represented their own countries, and SIG was a competition between countries.

It was at this point that the top sixteen name list was announced: (Irrespective of the rankings)

1. Saruman Snake battle team (Elite Academy X)

2. Soulless battle team (Arbiter Republic)

3. Dynasty battle team (Elite Academy X)

4. Gravity battle team (Gemini Union)

5. Imperial Glory battle team (Elite Academy X)

6. Child of Light battle team (Maya Empire)

7. Demonic Dragon battle team (Earthworm Federation)

8. Sword Shield Rose Rider battle team (Aslan Empire)

9. Radiance battle team (Versailles Empire)

10. Golden Wheel battle team (Manalasuo)

11. Zero Degrees battle team (Hail Cloud Alliance)

12. Sea Queen battle team (Atlantis Empire)

13. Steel battle team (Arbiter Republic)

14. Harbinger battle team (Heaven's Arrow Federation)

15. Military Officer School battle team (Aslan Empire)

16. Fiery Bear battle team (Great Bear Federation)

It may seem as if Elite Academy X was very impressive, but the gloriousness was still of the two countries', Aslan's and Arbiter's, who had also exhibited the strongest composite of capabilities.

Wang Zheng and the others had discovered that they were being closely monitored by each team's scouts. They had to be very wary of every glance that came their way from every corner. Nearing the top eight battle, everyone would be starting to be serious.

Jiang Feng had initiated a combined meeting again with the main objective being to commend and, at the same time, give out some battle tactics guidance, reminders, and instructions. From now onwards, it would be the actual battle. Upon entering the top eight, aside from the respective powerful teams, they would have practically completed their predicted goals.

In the Prime Minister's official residence, Kashawen was looking through the newly announced top sixteen name list. She was rather satisfied with the outcomes. Aslan's three teams had all advanced, and the only slight thorn was the Saruman Snake battle team.

Kashawen was also conflicted. On one hand, this person's tenacity was unimaginable, reaching to where he was right now from being a commoner who had nothing, implying that he would be a bit hard to dispel. On the other hand, she felt that Anna's insight was passable. She had finally picked someone who was not useless. The other's innocence was also beyond imagination. It was just that up to this point, she also wanted to see how far this little fella called Wang Zheng could actually go. As for that small HU issue, she could not be bothered in the slightest.

If… by any chance, it was as Mitchell had said, that he really could do it, Kashawen would feel sorry for him. He would then experience what genuine desperation was.
