Chapter 164: I’m Not Sleeping in the Streets Tonight
Translator: Double_LEditor: Tehrn
After the defeat of Cisco, Jiang Long, the No.1 among Lustre Academy’s third graders, the successor of the Firmament Palm Strike, and also the boy wonder who was promoted as a Rank 5 fighter at nineteen years old, was defeated as well.
His defeat was more devastating than Cisco’s; however, it was also more convincing than Ulysses’ defeat. Everyone started to believe in the possibility that Einherjar Wannabe might be the next living legend.
Uproars emerged in the official forum and also in tons of other forums. As soon as Einherjar Wannabe became a hit, the number of threads kept increasing day by day. Apparently, people were not only excited about Einherjar Wannabe, but also his ability to draw the attention of those hidden elites and aces.
Was he truly invincible?
He was challenging everyone across the world, waiting for the next contender!
The legend was born! Who would be his next target?
A demonic palm strike that was able to terrorize the Firmament Palm Strike!
Who was he?
Was he really the reincarnation of an Einherjar himself?
A sixteen-year-old super genius, ready to challenge the almighty Five Great Houses!
The real mightiest palm strike of all!
Giving his opponents a taste of their own sauce — uncovering the secrets behind Einherjar Wannabe’s mysterious tactics!
Even the people on the Moon and Mars were startled by this uproar. Only a handful of people had actually heard of the name Einherjar Wannabe; however, Jiang Long was definitely a famous celebrity on the Moon, and not a single person was able to believe that a strong fighter like him would be defeated by someone who was three years younger than him.
How was he able to defeat someone stronger than him? What sort of tactics and techniques was he using? What sort of powerful palm strike was able to outshine the Thunderbolt Strike?
No one had ever seen anything like this before. Obviously, the Firmament Palm Strike was not an invincible tactic, but nobody had ever heard of any other tactic that was able to subdue the Firmament Palm Strike with less amount of GN Force. Not only Einherjar Wannabe had defeated the Firmament Palm Strike, but he had also demonstrated an obvious yet ferocious power.
It was indeed a huge gap in terms of strength!
Another crazy night for everyone even though it wasn’t during the weekend…
Luv Ma looked nervous as Zhang Jin answered his call, and surprisingly, Zhang Jin agreed to meet the two of them. Luv Ma was overjoyed, while Miao Xiu tried his best to hold onto his laughter.
Both of them had never been to Zhang Jin’s place, she welcomed the two of them with a dazzling smile: ”Please, come in gentlemen, make yourselves comfortable.”
”Wow, what a beautiful place! Thanks for having us.” Miao Xiu pushed Luv Ma aside and went in first, somehow he was born to be impolite.
”You’re welcome, Miao Xiu. C’mon in Luv Ma, don’t be shy. I was just thinking about asking you a few questions,” Zhang Jin gave a warm welcome.
Miao Xiu didn’t expect that Zhang Jin would be able to recognize him, no wonder the House of Zhang was also known as ”the House of Intelligence”... and judging by the fact that she was able to mention his name, perhaps she was also well aware of his personal data.
What a terrifying woman, perhaps she would be even spying on her own boyfriend when he was taking a leak?
Luv Ma relaxed as Zhang Jin gave him a warm welcome, ”Actually, both of us were watching the match between Einherjar Wannabe and Jiang Long a while ago, and we’d like to ask you if you have any idea what was that final palm strike used by Einherjar Wannabe.”
”I see, but before we get to there, can I get you guys anything?”
”Water will be fine.” Luv Ma seemed shy.
”I’d like a cup of Blue Mountain... make that two instead, c’mon bro, don’t be shy!” Miao Xiu was really treating himself at home, and since they were invited to her place, of course, he would ask for something expensive.
Zhang Jin smiled and served them what they asked for.
”Luv Ma, I know you and Miao Xiu have been keeping an eye on this Einherjar Wannabe fella, you’ve been doing a lot of video analysis after all... so since you guys had been following all of his matches, who do you think he is?” Zhang Jin sat across them and asked.
Usually, people would speak their thoughts immediately when Zhang Jin asked a question like this; however, Luv Ma remained calm. He thought for a while as he knew that Zhang Jin wasn’t looking for the conventional answers; she was asking for a real thought.
Miao Xiu noticed his good friend needed time to think, so he decided to buy him a little time: ”That kid is very picky, I’ve been trying a few times to challenge him again, but unfortunately, I’m not lucky enough to be chosen.”
”So you are saying that you’ve lost once?” Zhang Jin smiled gently.
”Ahem, you don’t have to be so direct, that was only an accident... not to mention that I didn’t give my best effort at that time!” Miao Xiu didn’t like to be looked down by girls.
Zhang Jin nodded and turned toward Luv Ma who seemed to be hesitating as he said, ”It might sound weird, but whenever I see him, he would remind me about the Blade Warrior.”
Zhang Jin smiled as she understood what Luv Ma was trying to say: Einherjar Wannabe was a strange existence. Although it was technically possible for any of the Five Great Houses to bring up a strong fighter like him, but if he had really been trained by one of the Houses, there would have been some sort of traces in his tactics! However, what other tactics would pack such an incredible power aside from the Five Greatest Tactics?
Unfortunately, Zhang Jin was not able to find the answer.
”Zhang Jin, do you have any idea where did that last strike come from? According to what I know, there’s no such attack in any tactics in the Court of the Templar.”
Zhang Jin tried to recall her memories.
”I’ve been doing my research regarding all sorts of palm strike tactics, but nothing as terrifying as this was ever recorded in history, perhaps my database is incomplete?” Luv Ma said.
”I do have some classified information about a similar palm strike tactic that existed a few hundred years ago, but please keep this to yourselves.”
