Big Head's strike was effective. However, he would not be able to even scratch Wang Tong.
Wang Tong blocked Big Head's fist with a palm and pushed his opponent; the tremendous GN force threw Big Head flying backward and then thudded heavily on the ground. Wang Tong had defeated Big Head without even delivering a strike.
”Balls! This little jerk is way overpowered. You guys must know it and wanted to make fun of me.” Big Head complained loudly as he struggled to get back to his feet. Everyone laughed, their voice laced with a certain degree of respect.
Wang Tong pulled Big Head up. He didn't consider Big Head an unworthy opponent because he knew that on the battlefield, it was hundreds of opponents like Big Head he would have to deal with.
The glory belonged to only a few at the very top, but these foot soldiers were the real hero.
Big Head shook his head and glared at his comrades.
”Wang Tong, what exactly is your soul level?”
Jansining was very pleased with Wang Tong's performance. It was excellent news for the team to have such a capable new addition. What made Wang Tong even more likable was the lack of arrogance and self-importance. Jansining had seen so many kids from the ivory tower who played hero like a pompous idiot on the battlefield, making themselves the perfect formula for the doom of their entire squad.
Therefore, Jansining was not only impressed by Wang Tong's incredible power but more so by his ability to be a team player. Jansining had observed him over the two days, and he noticed that Wang Tong had been following his orders and never caused any extra burden to the team.
Jansining also noticed that Wang Tong didn't complain about the seemingly mundane orders, and he reasoned that it was because Wang Tong had understood his intention. Jansining figured that if all the students from the academies were like Wang Tong, the humans might have a chance in the war against the Zergs after all.
”I have just reached the fifth level. But please keep it between you and me. Not even my close friends knew about that yet.” Wang Tong scratched his head and said.
Wang Tong's answer made Third choke on the water he was gulping down.
”Sh*t! How old are you? Your profile says you are in your first year at Ayrlarng, and you said are at the fifth level already?”
”I ...was lucky… Haha” Wang Tong answered. He could choose to omit the details, but he had to be honest about his strength with his comrades who shared the same fate with him.
”Haha, Lieutenant, we have picked up a life saver! If we have a fifth level as our vanguard, we would be invincible.” Big Head laughed candidly; he was relieved that Wang Tong was much stronger than him, which explained his defeat.
”Given time, I believe this kiddo would be our company's best fighter” Big O announced.
”Ha ha, Big O, perhaps it would be safer to let little O follow behind this kid instead of you. I think our child soldier here could protect your younger brother better than you.”
The Orien brothers were not identical twins; the big one was called big O, and the one with the smaller frame but no less muscular was called little O. Although Little O didn't want to admit it, he was not as tough as Big O, and therefore, Big O always protected him on the battlefield while Little O focused on dealing damage.
”Hey, you a*shole, I can protect my brother, alright?”
”Common bro, I had told you many times, I can protect myself! I am a soldier too, a veteran at that!” Little O bawled out at his brother. Wang Tong reckoned then that the Orien brothers were only 3 or 4 years older than him, but they had the bearings of being much older and experienced warriors.
”Wang Tong, would you like to be our vanguard?”
”Yea Sir!” Wang Tong answered without hesitation.
”Good lad!”
”Kiddo, tomorrow, we kill Zergs!”
