”Tactics of the Blade?” Ma Xiaoru asked in disbelief.

She had practiced the Tactics of the Blade as well before she used the Tactics of the Enchantress. It was a very ordinary, but popular tactics due to its slow but safe progression. Most tier one METAL fighters in the military practiced it as they did not have a chance to receive training in more advanced tactics

However, judging by Wang Tong's moves and the weight they carried, Ma Xiaoru found it hard to believe that these seemingly ordinary tactics were what Wang Tong had used.

Having sensed her doubt, Wang Tong finished a round of the eight node version of the Tactics of the Blade to prove his point.

What Ma Xiaoru saw shocked her as she had never thought anyone would be able to draw so much power out of the most common tactics. She would like to try it out herself, but since she had already been practicing the Tactics of the Enchantress, she could no longer practice the Tactics of the Blade.

”I was surprised as well. It all started with me being chased by a Zerg. Perhaps it was a result of fear, but my soul power increased a little which helped to improve the strength of the Tactics of the Blade.”

”It was indeed amazing, how fast is your soul energy increasing now? If it’s at a fast pace, you should not learn any other tactics; otherwise, it would make you very susceptible to becoming deranged.”

”Hehe, yea, I’ve hesitated about it as well. Perhaps not now, anyways, thank you for the reminder.” Wang Tong nodded and felt relieved that even Ma Xiaoru didn't suspect that he knew anything stronger than the eight node version of the tactics. He would not reveal the sixteen node version so easily unless it was a moment of life and death.

”Are we friends now?” Ma Xiaoru asked.

”Hmm… perhaps?” feeling like he had just made a deal with Ma Xiaoru, Wang Tong hesitated, unsure of Ma Xiaoru’s intention.

”Are you still paranoid about me? Although it was Samantha who sent me, don't you think that you would have met someone else if I had refused to come?” Ma Xiaoru asked as her bright wide eyes stared at Wang Tong.

Her questions embarrassed Wang Tong. He did feel Ma Xiaoru's feelings towards him, and he was also eager to respond, but should his feelings have deceived him, it might leave her with the impression that Wang Tong was obsessed with her.

”Um...” Wang Tong still hesitated.

”Am I not worthy of being your friend?” Ma Xiaoru pushed him further.

Wang Tong gave up his struggle as he let out a smile, ”Fine, we’re friends now.”

”Perfect, why don't you take your seat back tomorrow? I don't want Hu Yangxuan to disturb me. Would you be able to do that for me?”

”That shouldn't be a problem. I didn't want to be the showstopper while you two caught up, but since you didn't want to talk to him, I will just take my seat back then.”

Ma Xiaoru watched Wang Tong in silence; she could sense his confidence. Clearly, Hu Yangxuan did not pose any threat to him.

”Urgh... I’m so hungry.” Ma Xiaoru blinked a pair of innocent looking eyes at Wang Tong.
