”So in essence, Einherjar Wannabe had subdued Wang Ben's brute force with his own? That's unthinkable! Who could have done that?” Ma Xiaoru asked incredulously.
”We have already excluded the Dowers and the Lis. It might be too early to suspect anyone else. After all, Benny had been using the virtual EMF, making him an unreliable source to gauge Einherjar Wannabe's power.” Samantha was the heir of the DREAM corp., therefore she had gathered some first-hand information about this fight. ”I really hope that Wang Ben would be over his failure soon,” Samantha said.
”Hehe, so you can recruit him and have him under your thumb?” A smile touched Ma Xiaoru's lips.
Samantha smiled back at her and said, ”Everyone seemed to have abandoned him after his operation, making it a perfect time to recruit him now. It would be much more effective than head-butting against S-class academies later. With some help from my connections in the Military, we should have a pretty good chance of winning him over once he opened his mind in later operations.”
”What you are counting on has the success rate below one percent. There will be more serious implications, should he forced it too hard,” Ma Xiaoru reminded Samantha about the risk involved.
”Bak. It's our day off, let's talk about something else. How about a trip to the beach?”
The scenery around her changed as she spoke. Tall and lush palm trees sprouted out about them, and the green grass beneath their feet turned into white and warm sand, stretching out to kiss a pool of turquoise-blue that had appeared as if out of nowhere. Samantha jumped into the lake, and turned to Ma Xiaoru, gesturing her to dive in with a seductive curl of a finger.
A grin flashed across Ma Xiaoru's face as she took off her gym coat. Her milky skin emanated a radiant hue under the sunlight and looked particularly attractive. It was an effect of the Tactics of the Enchantress; it not only increased the EMF but also improved the appearance of the cultivator. Only a genius like General Zhou Zhi would have concocted such a melange of beauty and power.
Meanwhile, on the moon. Miao Xiu stared at the screen with eyes wide open. He was engrossed in the actions on the screen and didn't even notice the smirk on Luv Ma's face.
”Konn.”
Excited by what he saw, Miao Xiu pounded a fist on the desk. He raised the fist and was ready to relieve his excitement again, but he was stopped by Luv Ma who tried to save the desk from its doom.
”That Fist of the Racing Tiger was so f*cking... awesome! I wanna try it too! Bak… what a shame that he had failed the operation!”
”Miao Xiu, that's not why I showed you the recording.”
”Yes, I know. I think your previous guess was correct. Einherjar Wannabe had learned some kind of tactics that allowed him to turn his arm into a weapon. You should dig into it.”
”Already did. There are a few tactics purported to have the same effect, but none of which has remotely the same intensity. Einherjar Wannabe waited until Wang Ben reached his peak EMF before subdued him, he is quite confident of his own power if not too much so, don't you think? ”
”Tell me about it; the worst is that he kept on ignoring my invitation, and showed up only when I wasn't there. It's annoying.”
