Chapter 158: A Surprising News (2/2)

Wang Tong remained calm even though he was stunned by the news. However, based on his understanding of Wang Ben, Wang Tong believed that he had to have a good reason for doing so. Nevertheless, he wasn’t frustrated by his decision, as long as he knew that he was doing the right thing.

Samantha then glimpsed at Wang Tong and noticed that the kid was quite good at keeping his cool. ”As we all know, Wang Ben is very strong, so without a doubt, he will receive a series of intensive training when he arrives in Capth. Furthermore, I’m certain that he will be participating in this competition. Even if we don’t take into account the fact that that he is very familiar with our strengths and weaknesses, our odds of winning have become even smaller.”

Martyrus stood aside and observed everyone’s expression. Even the candidates from Bernabeu were saddened by the news. To be honest, the students of Bernabeu had been really depressed for failing all of their previous attempts. But this year, however, the students had regained their confidence as they were given another chance by collaborating with Ayrlarng. But Wang Ben’s sudden change of side had caused them to become crestfallen again.

Wang Tong looked at everyone’s expression, then he smiled and said, ”Ma’am, our odds of winning against Capth weren’t very high anyways. Now, I believe that we already have a better reason to train harder.” Wang Tong turned toward the team and continued, ”We will prove to Wang Ben that he has made the wrong choice... by vanquishing Capth!

”Karl, anger is a sign of weakness. If you wanna say anything to Wang Ben, say it after we defeat Capth!

”There’s practically nothing to fear, since we’re all only a bunch of nobodies!

”Let’s fight with all of our might!

”Yeah, time to defeat them and destroy their reputation!”

Everyone seemed to believe that Capth was the one behind the incident. But no one would have the time to figure out what was going on, as the hardship they were about to face was tougher than before, and they were all required to be extremely focused in their upcoming training.

Anyhow, Samantha noticed that they were still not quite confident about themselves, even though they had regained their fighting spirits. However, it was normal, since they were aware that their enemies were extremely strong.

”We will be heading to Bernabeu for our upcoming training. Principal Martyrus has prepared your training programs, so listen up folks. If you really want to prove to Wang Ben that he was wrong, all of you will have to muster two hundred percent of efforts during your training!” Samantha said. Wang Ben’s decision to leave would more or less affect Ayrlarng’s reputation, and the media might even be reporting it as Ayrlarng’s fault due to the poor level of strength, which was not enough for Wang Ben’s growth.

Nevertheless, they would still have to take on Capth, and the students would have to maintain their spirit and confidence, or else this would be the end for Ayrlarng.

”I’m not going to discuss every detail. All you need to know is that all of you will be facing a bunch of geniuses, hard-working geniuses to be exact, and you’ll have to work even harder in order to defeat them. Suck it up as there’s no room for regrets anymore!” Martyrus said. This was a challenge that they had to overcome, but once they succeeded, they would become unstoppable.

Everyone got ready and flew back to Bernabeu in their private charter flight. No one said a word in the plane throughout the journey, and even the talkative Karl kept quiet. Honestly, the gap between their strength was not the reason for their sadness. Everyone was sad because of Wang Ben’s betrayal.

After all, they were a group of teenagers who valued friendship more than anything else.

On the other side of the planet, Wang Ben was all alone, feeling even more hurt, and staying silent ever since. The only thing he did was training non-stop to tire his body and tire his mind. In that way, he wouldn’t have to think about anything else.

However, some things were not meant to be forgotten, like his happy life in Ayrlarng, all of the fun he had, and the hardships they had been through together. He was confused, and couldn’t understand why his father didn’t value the emotion that he held dear, and used it as a tool of betrayal.

”WHY!?

”WHY!?”

Wang Ben flung punches after punches towards the wall. His hands were bleeding, yet he was still depressed. He couldn’t forget the life and death moment when Wang Tong saved him and took a hit for him! Wang Ben sat down helplessly, grinding his teeth in anger. The immense pressure had caused him to fell into a great dilemma.

Meanwhile, General Hu Ben quietly observed his miserable son through the window. He might be a famous warrior of the Earth Confederation and a legendary general who worked his *ss up from a foot soldier all the way to his current position, yet he was aware that he wasn’t a good father, and wasn’t good at expressing himself.

The clock was ticking.

Everyone remained silent as they reached Bernabeu, and they were immediately given the schedule of their upcoming training. This time, all of them would be training according to their own subject, and Martyrus had hired a team of professional trainers to shape them up thoroughly. This was the best way of getting them trained. As for their performances, it would be all up to them.

After all, trainers would only provide guidance, and the students had to rely on themselves to master what they had learned.

The team kickstarted the next morning by doing the weighted jog; somehow this had become their daily routine. However, Wang Tong was not as solemn as everyone else. Taking on Capth might mean a lot to most of the team, but Wang Tong remained optimistic, not because he was confident to win against Capth, but because he had been through a lot when he was young. Without mentioning all of the life and death moments on Norton, which explained why he wasn’t caring too much about it, all that mattered to him was that he would have to give every inch of effort into it. Instead of feeling pressured, he was more interested in going head to head with the elites from Capth.
