A rush of adrenaline swept through Wang Tong's body as soon as he turned on the training terminal. While being busy with the monthly test, Wang Tong had almost forgotten just how much he had enjoyed the thrills of performing challenging techniques—an acquired taste that he had developed on Norton. As the crisis of the monthly test had been averted, Wang Tong's life started to become mundane, and the desire for more challenges resurfaced.
He gave himself a hard time during the last simulation and injured his fingers, but he thought that was simply the way it was: no pain, no gain. His injuries were minor anyways.
”You can watch me do it first. It was a Kaedeian's technique. Speaking of the Kaedeians, we could really learn a thing or two from them regarding space battles. I have been experimenting one of their methods, which I believe could be used by Earthlings after some modifications,” Wang Tong's said with a serious tone; he was always serious when talking about battle techniques.
”I have gone through the theories, and I just need to see how it is done so that I can try to follow.”
”Ok, watch me. Keep in mind that the system pre-set these targets so it would be more difficult in real-life since the enemies can pop up anywhere around us,” Wang Tong said as he flexed his fingers. Although the technique looked simple, it was tough to pull it off correctly.
Wang Tong looked at the screen and marked sixty targets in his mind and then rested his wrist on the dashboard. He had only one second to respond to all sixty targets; it required not only superhuman reflexes but also endurance for the enormous strain placed on his body from the lightning speed movements.
Then the simulation started; a bright light flashed across the room and then came a deafening blare; all sixty targets were locked on at once. Success!
Wang Tong flexed his fingers again and heaved a sigh of relief. His balance had improved a great deal since last practice. ”You can try it with sixty targets, let's keep it simple for now.”
An awkward silence fell.
Zhou Sisi stared at Wang Tong in disbelieve, ”You expect me to do the same thing?”
”Yea. That's the clone technique.” Wang Tong was perplexed by Zhou Sisi's hesitation. He had executed the technique by the textbook, and it indeed worked.
”Are you a freak or a mutant? I have seen what you did there, and it definitely wasn't the clone technique, not even a Kaedeians could have repeated what you just did.” Zhou Sisi threw a suspicious look at Wang Tong.
”Really? I thought that was how everyone did it.” Wang Tong scratched his head and wondered why Zhou Sisi made a big deal out of such an ordinary technique.
