Chapter 238: Father's Counsel

Cameron had sent the challenge to Lie Jian on behalf of Einherjar Wannabe. In the invitation, it specified that the realism would be cranked up to 120%

That was a blatant taunt to Lie Jian, a member of one of the most hawkish families of the great houses.

Some believed that the battle was Einherjar Wannabe's retaliation for the fight instigated by Huo Quan. The bigger question was: ”Would Einherjar Wannabe win the fight if Lie Jian accepted the challenge?”

It was common knowledge that no outside of the great houses had ever defeated anyone who was a part of them. Therefore, this fight was not the same as any fight, and it was a test to the power of the great houses. As one of the most influential fighters of his generation, Lie Jian had never lost a battle except for once when he was against Li Shiming, and even that had been a close call for his opponent. Should the two fight again, it would be hard to forecast the results.

Everyone was worried for Einherjar Wannabe, who was only a fourth level fighter as he had to stand up against a fifth level warrior from a great house.

The news about the fight had also reached beyond the PA circle. Ever since he defeated Huo Quan, Einherjar Wannabe had become the target of hatred for people who didn't like earthlings.

Shocked by Einherjar Wannabe's bravery, students from both earth and the moon waited impatiently for Lie Jian's reply.

Some audiences had reasoned that Einherjar Wannabe's bravery came from his arrogance. They believed that Huo Quan's defeat had convinced Einherjar Wannabe that all fighters from the Mars could be easily defeated.

Such a brazen taunt angered the Martians. To them, Einherjar Wannabe didn't only send a challenge to Lie Jian, but also insulted every Martian.

The online community soon became sizzling with debates between the earthlings and the Martians. The Ivantians remained neutral and just wanted to enjoy the fight.

Truth be told, Lie Jian didn't have to accept this challenge, because he no longer needed to prove himself to anyone. However, the real stake in this fight to Lie Jian was his family's reputation. As the heir to the Lie Family, he could not afford to overlook any element that threatened to weaken his family's position.

Meanwhile, Wang Tong had much less burden. He thought that if Lie Jian wouldn't accept his challenge, then he would gladly accept the reality and find himself another opponent.

Wang Tong browsed the website as he waited for Lie Jian's reply. He suddenly realized that his dance video had gone viral online. He figured that it had become so popular because the name of HG and Mike must have grabbed viewer's attention.

The entire entertainment industry went crazy over the masked dancer as they tried to figure out his identity. However, all their attempt had failed.

There had been some trails behind the dancer that was still hot, but Li Ruoer had ordered them to be covered. Without enough evidence, no one could make the connection between an ordinary student with the best dancer they had ever seen.

Wang Tong shook his head after reading the comments. He wondered what the fuss was all about since he only moved his body with the music the way he felt like it. It proved to him that he was not meant to be in the entertainment industry. Perhaps, he thought, being an entertainer would be a good fit for Hu Yangxuan, but he doubted Hu Yangxuan would be willing to give up his future as a soldier.

As the protector of human civilization, the social status of a soldier had been elevated higher than that of any other profession.

Wang Tong decided to sign off the terminal and go home. He didn't bother to look at the heated debate on the online forum about his challenge, neither did he care about other people's opinion about him. He reminded himself to check his mailbox more often in a couple of days to see if his challenge had been accepted. He figured that he had been using the terminal quite a while, and he shouldn't take advantage of the kind owner.

The next day, Wang Tong came to school as usual. The S club had been running very well, thanks to Zhou Sisi. But, Samantha seemed to have encountered a conundrum.

As per the new edicts of the confederation, all military academies were to dispatch some of their students to Norton to help the army to eradicate the Zergs. The confederation's goal was to help the ground tropes by enlisting fresh blood into their ranks while offering the students an opportunity to prepare themselves for the harshness of war. Most of the students would not be assigned a combat mission. Instead, they would be doing ground keeping works in the barracks.

It all seemed noble and grandiose on paper, but as a principal, Samantha understood the reasons for such a move at a much deeper level.
