Chapter 1228: It's Not Easy Being A Black Horse

Wang Zheng was still in coma. Ai Xiaolu and the others could only visit him at the visiting hours, but they had managed to receive good news. All three of their lives were not in critical danger. As Zhang Shan's injury was the most severe, it was definite that he would have to scrap the idea of SIG. It would be a long period of recovery, but luckily, this place had the best medical treatment conditions in the Milky Way Alliance.

Wang Zheng and Achilles' situations were slightly better. It was still unknown if Achilles would be able to make it for the later battles, but there had been a change in Wang Zheng's condition. The injuries on his body were not all there was - his brain waves were lost.

Which, in context, meant that he was in vegetative state.

Technology had, of course, advanced to another level of research. Wang Zheng's consciousness was extremely weak, but due to his physical injuries, nobody dared to use overly aggressive treatment tactics. They could only wait until his external injuries had recovered before they could proceed with treatment.

Was the situation serious?

To the doctors, it did not seem so. In a battle of that level, it was already a miracle to survive. As for wanting to continue battling, that would simply be unrealistic.

The final top four battle had already started. Originally thought to be the battle with the greatest disparity, the result was outside of expectations.

The Harbinger battle team, led by Tan Zheng, fought with terrifying strength. It could be said that the whole world was taken aback in shock. Aside from Tan Zheng having Earth-rank two ability, his physical techniques took away everyone's breath, allowing him to gain a solid victory against the mighty Atlantis, allowing the battle to continue into the team battle round.

Of course, this was also because the Atlantean prince did not make his move, while Tan Zheng chose to be the first to enter battle.

Team battles were the Harbinger battle team's specialty. Their terrifying Five Elements Resonation helped them charge straight into the top eight. Now that they were up against Atlantis, they hoped to create a miracle.

Perhaps they had been triggered by Saruman Snake as they also wanted to counterattack. Every warrior maintained enormous battle strength and will; their battle skills were very suitable as well. The two failed battles had been strategically given up as they had placed their hopes entirely on the last team battle.

Hope was beautiful; however, reality was cruel.

Up against an extremely dangerous team battle, Dina Atlas had still not appeared on stage, and the Atlanteans displayed skills that made people's hair stand.

The five warriors that entered battle had spiritual power, by human standards, above B level. And against the opponent's Five Elements Resonation, the Atlanteans fully utilized a storm of team spirit, directly crushing their opponents.

In terms of spiritual power techniques, the Atlanteans were unmatched. Regardless of strength or details, the difference was too huge.

Tan Zheng persisted until the end, but he was unable to resist against the Sea Queen battle team's formidable offense. Against a series of continuous Runic Matrixes, from one to five, it exhausted an Earth-rank super warrior into complete despair.

As their spirits were aligned, the Sea Queen battle team's team battle was even more terrifying. Their seamlessly connected, earth-shattering attacks made the humans instantaneously breakdown.

Until the top four battles, the Sea Queen battle team was the only team where the leader still sat stably in his seat.

The Harbinger battle team was definitely strong. They were not below the Dynasty battle team, but their luck was just slightly off. This only magnified the Sea Queen battle team's fearsomeness.

The top four had emerged.

Saruman Snake battle team, Sword Shield Rose battle team, Sea Queen battle team, Dynasty battle team.

Amongst the four major battle teams, the Saruman Snake battle team's popularity unexpectedly oppressed that of the other three teams. For a long time until now, Aslan and Atlantis had always been the forerunners in terms of popularity, and even if there was any fluctuations, there was never such a large disparity.

Based on the investigations of various colleges, the Saruman Snake battle team ranked highest as people's choice of the strongest team, with a total of 86% of support.

Moving forward was the ten days of break, and the arena would be rearranged. It was said that Aslan would be using a new material for the semi-finals' arena... space material, to erase the humiliation of the "tofu dregs" arena.

Actually, the designers could not be blamed, as the design was of standard, even above the average Milky Way Alliance standard, but who would have expected for them to meet such a monster?

However, what everyone was most concerned about was whether Saruman Snake could continue to battle.

Would they still be able to fight when their three main strengths were heavily injured, and they did not have enough people?

To have the SIG held here to this point was already a considerable success as Aslan had received positive feedback from various nations. Especially in the hearts of the youth, Aslan's position as the most outstanding nation had further been strengthened, and there had been an increase of over 20% of people coming forward to understand more on the migration to study over the Skylink. However, Kashawen could not be elated.

The analysis provided by the technical department mentioned that if Wang Zheng could not battle, the actual results would be discounted by much as the public's expectancy would be halved.

Kashawen herself laughed as well. It was simply nonsensical!

Just one person could affect the entire SIG?

"Your Excellency, the semi-finals' ticket sales are not doing very well... It's not as good as before." Mitchell deliberated over what words to use. Being conducted with such a high following, the SIG was already a grand festival; it could even be considered an annual symbol of Aslan and the Milky Way Alliance. It would be conflicting if they ended not as great as the beginning.

"What is the advertising team doing? All the public needs is a topic to talk about. If the internal division cannot do it, then the external division will. Do you need me to teach you something so simple?"

Mitchell nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency." He was also having a headache. In the past, there would certainly many methods, but the problem now was that these were all aimed towards Wang Zheng. Everyone wanted to witness it, regardless of whether he won or lost, but the current Wang Zheng was partially paralysed, while the Sea Queen battle team and the Sword Shield Rose battle team's advantage was too great. How could the ticket sales increase?

Other methods?

Mitchell was only thinking of it, but he did not dare to even mention it. He knew in her heart that this was a prohibited topic and unless Kashawen herself mentioned, nobody could cross that line.

Si Jiali was stunned as well. The column she had done on the SIG demonstrated an explosive trend. The issue that everyone was most concerned about was the semi-finals, whether Saruman Snake could still fight and whether Wang Zheng could be in battle!

Actually, everyone knew that Saruman Snake would definitely lose this battle, but nobody cared about the results. They only wanted to see where Saruman Snake stood.

In this world, under normal circumstances, from Wang Zheng to everyone in Saruman Snake, everyone only cared about the results. However, Wang Zheng and his Saruman Snake had changed.

What everyone hoped to see on the battleground was that kind of battling desire and persistence.

Si Jiali found Ai Xiaolu, the Saruman Snake's leader. The two were not familiar but both knew that once they reach a certain level, the social circle would only be so big. After expressing her intentions, Ai Xiaolu accepted the interview.

" Xiao Lu comrade, as of now, Saruman Snake's supporters from various countries really want to know about the current situation, especially about whether Saruman Snake will be battling with the Sea Queen battle team in the semi-finals," Si Jiali inquired.

Ai Xiaolu nodded. "Much thanks to everyone's support for the Saruman Snake battle team. The following are our captain's original words: he and the Saruman Snake battle team will definitely enter battle,and Saruman Snake will definitely stand on the finals' battle arena!"

Si Jiali was slightly dazed. These types of words were usually polite comments, but at this time, there seemed to be little persuasiveness.
