Chapter 145: No Big Deal at All

The special training program would be able to carry on if this time was a huge success. It would be specially designed for the aces and elites in the academies, and it would prevent from neglecting the talented ones.

Martyrus knew that Massa might have gone a little too far after leaving Wang Tong alone on the beach, but that was because he had witnessed too much life and death situations on the battlefield, and he had chosen to hide his feelings because of that; apparently, being strict was his way of caring. Soldiers or fighters should always be prepared for any crisis, even during peace; not to mention that the Earth Confederation wasn’t peaceful at all. A crisis would always be lurking around, whether it was the endless streams of pirate smuggling cases or the threats caused by those horrible Zergs. Ordinary people might be able to enjoy their lives, but the soldiers had to be prepared for war at any time.

It might be a little harsh for the students; however, brilliant disciples were born under the supervision of a strict teacher, and furthermore, they were the successors of the future generation.

As a matter of fact, Massa was not a sadist, he did that because he wanted to find out the limits of every student. He would reduce the harshness once he noticed their limits and then gradually increased the difficulties in order to break their limits. As for Wang Tong, Massa was strict with him probably because the boy had caught his interest since it was rare to find a student with such capabilities.

Martyrus couldn’t wait to see Wang Tong’s performances as well, he was very excited for the upcoming surprises from Wang Tong.

It seemed like God was really trying to test Wang Tong’s faith. Not only there was no moon that night because the night sky was overcast with dark clouds, but strong currents of wind also roared across the vast ocean, and within minutes, the island was hit by a ferocious squall.

The sea might have been gentle and peaceful during the day, but it had turned violent as the thunderstorm raged, and every corner of the beach was slammed by surges from the waves.

Instantly Wang Tong felt even lonelier. He would have to face the frightful darkness and the intimidating force of nature all by himself on this deserted island.

Rooarr...

Lightning jagged across the night sky followed by peals of thunder. The layers of dark clouds seemed to be getting heavier, turning into a pressuring aura above the stormy sea. It was definitely a power that should be feared and respected by mankind.

Yet Wang Tong remained still like a sculpture, he wasn’t affected by the strong currents of the wind and the huge surges from the waves at all. There were times when Wang Tong was hit by the wave, but his feet never moved an inch.

Wang Tong was not giving up, he clenched his teeth and was determined to get through this; if he chose to retreat, all of his hard work would be wasted. How he wished he could initialize the Tactics of the Blade to counter the force of the wave, but he was told by Massa not to utilize his GN Force, and clearly this training was to improve the limit of his willpower.

He had to overcome all the struggles as this was his chance of self-discovery, he had to see himself clearly in order to transcend himself!

Another surge was slammed upon the beach as if mother nature was trying to intimidate the young man by showing off its dominance.

Wooosh…

A giant wave about ten meters tall came crashing down toward him, yet Wang Tong stared at it with his eyes wide open, no fear at all.

Rooarr…

Wang Tong stretched his arms wide open and stood firm like an iron pillar, then he unleashed a warcry to ”welcome” its arrival.

Whammm…

”Sir, a category three typhoon is coming this way, and I’m afraid it’s going to last for at least a day or two. Should we take him back?” one of the teaching staff asked.

Massa shook his head, he didn’t sleep because the monitoring system was temporarily down due to the immense thunderstorm. However, the last image he saw was Wang Tong’s ”fight” against the huge surge, which explained why he wasn’t too worried since Wang Tong was tough, and Massa knew he would not die easily.

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoru was also having trouble sleeping because she couldn’t help worrying about Wang Tong. Even though she was staying in the bunker, she was still able to hear the sound of the thunder roaring and the waves slamming on the beach, yet she could only hope that Wang Tong was alright under the heavy downpour.

The next day, Massa didn’t wake them up in the middle of the night but at four in the morning instead; everyone was awakened by the annoying alarm. Nevertheless, they had learned their lesson and gathered up within five minutes.

”Not bad, you kids are lucky today, this is the best weather for outdoor training, so let’s begin!”

Everyone carried their backpacks and started jogging. No one bothered to ask why there was no day-off since it was raining because they already knew that ”Mold-face” Massa would only call a day-off if it were raining daggers outside. Anyhow, it seemed like all of them had regained their spirit after a good rest. Everyone was in good shape and was fully concentrated on the training. One would be at its best when their vital essence, energy, and spirit were fully combined.

Down at the training field, everyone was seen running in the rain even though the thunderstorm persisted, and since Massa was unable to use the magnetic weights under the heavy downpour, Wang Ben and the other guys were told to double-up the weight of their backpacks.

”Faster, move it, c’mon, even pigs are running faster than all of you! The sky ain’t raining torpedoes, so speed up!” Massa waved his baton and yelled like a mad man in the middle of the field. In fact, even the heavy storm was unable to cover up his loud voice.
