Chapter 214: Arm of the Blazing Kirin

The next match seemed much more interesting. After all, METAL Combat was still the favorite of many people since it was much easier to understand than Battlecraft Combat. Furthermore, one of the fighters was, in fact, the successor of tactics of the Blaze.

This fight was, in fact, the duel between two of the Five Great Tactics.

The match would begin in five minutes. The live broadcast was completely packed, and the viewers from all three planets had exceeded fifty million people. The level of excitement was like never before!

Hwo Quan was known as one of Lie Kent’s ”Ferocious Four. Of course, he was also famous for hanging around Lie Kent and disturbing the community like a bunch of hooligans. Nevertheless, setting his attitude aside, without a doubt Hwo Quan’s talent was not to be underestimated.

Wang Ben and the rest of the team were fairly excited. They couldn’t wait to see how Einherjar Wannabe would stand against the Tactics of the Blaze’s incinerating attribute. After all, it was almost impossible for someone to subdue Tactics of the Blaze without equipping METAL Suit. Moreover, the incineration would occur even if it were a normal clash between GN Forces.

Not to mention, Hwo Quan had also been playing the role as Lie Kent’s ”human sandbag”, aside from learning companion. In other words, Hwo Quan’s strength was trained by getting his a*s kicked since a young age. Hence, the standard of his strength was definitely above average.

Although Wang Ben’s Fist of the Racing Tiger was known as one of the strongest tactics, it was nothing compared to the Five Greatest Tactics of the mankind.

This match had received a lot of attention from the public, mostly because Tactics of the Blaze was involved in it. As a matter of fact, only the people of House of Lie preferred making public appearances like this. The rest from the other four Great Houses preferred to keep low profiles instead.

”Haha, this is gonna be fun, and looks like Quanny the dog is even more arrogant than usual today.” Li Ruo-Er teased while hugging Ma Xiaoru by her arms.

”Shh, keep it down Ruo-Er.”

”Relax, they can’t hear us from here.” Li Ruo-Er smiled towards Ma Xiaoru.

Two of the students from Capth who were sitting in the front row stood up and gave away their seats immediately when they saw Li Ruo-Er smile towards them. Then, the boys went off and stood happily at the back like a couple of puppies enjoying their treats.

Wang Ben gave Ma Xiaoru a cold glance, then turned around and focused back on the screen.

It seemed like Wang Tong had no intention of questioning Ma Xiaoru about her transfer to Capth, because he had his own secrets to keep as well.

”Ruo-Er, is that Wang Ben?”

”Yup, that’s the boy genius among us first graders whose Soul Energy has exceeded two hundred and thirty sols within half a year after mind-opening. He was also recently added to the top ten ranking of Capth. Impressive, isn’t it?” Li Ruo-Er smiled.

”Shh, quiet… Seems like he hates me. Have I done something that offended him?”

”Nah, you think too much. He’s always like that with his emotionless expression. You don’t have to bother with him.” Li Ruo-Er was trying to divert Ma Xiaoru’s attention.

However, Ma Xiaoru felt like she recognized Wang Ben even though it was her first time seeing him… or perhaps it was just her imagination.

It was easy for Li Ruo-Er to disregard Hwo Quan. In fact, she was the only one in this room who could do so. After all, people from House of Li were born with the right to be arrogant, especially his almighty brother Li Shimin, a.k.a ”the Little Emperor”. In fact, Li Shimin and Lie Kent were the only two within the Five Great Houses who had fought each other. That match ended with Li Shimin defeating Lie Kent, instantly raising the former’s popularity throughout the Earth Confederation.

Unlike Lie Kent, Li Shimin was often praised by the people for his down-to-earth reputation, like the boy next door. He had never asked for any special treatment in the military, and he preferred to be treated like an ordinary kid.

In short, Li Shimin was not as mysterious as Patroclus the ”hermit” and also the young Cardinal of Church of the Deity. But most importantly, he wasn’t as troublesome as Lie Kent the philanderer.

As for Hwo Quan, without a doubt, he was the perfect candidate to test how good Einherjar Wannabe really was. After all, everyone was curious if Einherjar Wannabe was really that God-like, or he was actually just an extremely vulnerable weakling who was only able to withstand a punch or two…

Li Ruo-Er and her Tactics of the Enchantress were just like a match made in heaven, not to mention Li Ruo-Er’s personality did resemble a lot to a real enchantress. As for Ma Xiaoru, her condition remained the same. Nevertheless, Li Ruo-Er still wondered how Ma Xiaoru able to achieve level five of Tactics of the Enchantress. But it would be fairly impossible to know the answer since Ma Xiaoru’s memories were sealed off for the time being.

Surprisingly, Li Ruo-Er had been incredibly friendly to Ma Xiaoru upon her arrival at Capth. The reason of them not being close back then was because they barely had time to get familiar with each other. Moreover, with Li Ruo-Er being able to freely manipulate her expression and emotions through Tactics of the Enchantress, she was able to turn herself into someone Ma Xiaoru was comfortable with. All it took was a little bit of time.

Li Ruo-Er’s next step was to use her influence to guide Ma Xiaoru into fancying Li Shimin, and when the right time came, the marriage between House of Ma and House of Li would be the biggest gossip of the entire universe. To be honest, Li Ruo-Er didn’t really care about the outcome; all she enjoyed was the fun and excitement of being the matchmaker and manipulator in this series of events.

Apparently, the reason Li Ruo-Er stopped her brother from killing Wang Tong was just because she saw him as a good chess piece to spice up this ”drama”. Somehow, the game would lose its excitement if everything went just as she had planned.

An impish smile seemed to be hiding at the back of Li Ruo-Er’s pure and elegant face.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was immediately altered by the presence of both Li Ruo-Er and Ma Xiaoru as they sat down. The students of Capth couldn’t help staring at those two beauties while concentrating on the match.

Finally, the match between Hwo Quan and Einherjar Wannabe had begun.

Hwo Quan was almost two meters tall, quite tall for a Martian, not to mention he seemed powerful indeed. Martian fighters looked distinctive from Earthlings and Ivantians. In fact, all three races were fairly easy to be told apart. Although Martians actually originated from planet Earth, yet their temperament had changed a lot after living on Mars for many generations.
