Chapter 283: What Do They Want?

”She is just a girl… I will handle it for you!” Hu Yangxuan cracked a smile and then said. Wang Tong held on to Hu Yangxuan's hand and pleaded. ”I'll be counting on you for it… Don't let me down.”

It would be a weight off Wang Tong's mind should Hu Yangxuan be able to distract Li Ruoer while he was busy training for the tournament.

”Haha. I will make her regret coming here!” Hu Yangxuan said with a smug expression.

”She is an Enchantress. So, be careful not to be enchanted, if you know what I mean” Zhou Sisi reminded Hu Yangxuan.

”Don't you worry. I was a capable disciple of the Templar.”

Wang Tong wasn't sure why Li Ruoer was here, but he was determined not to let her get in his way of defeating Li Shiming.

Regarding the fleet combat, Wang Tong would have three training partners: Zhou Sisi, Karl and best. Zhou Sisi had improved the most among all of her classmates. Although Zhou Sisi's techniques might fall short when compared to the others, her calm and attention to detail—both invaluable qualities of a fleet commander—would make up for her lack of micro control.

Although the advantage of the three opponents was clear, so were their downfalls. In a matter of a few simulations, Wang Tong had already gained a deep understanding of their technique, so there was no chance for the three to win against Wang Tong anymore.

Regarding METAL combat, Wang Tong's training partner was Hu Yangxuan and Cao Yi. Occasionally, he would also test his soul energy against Luo Manman. However, because of the vast gap between the two, Wang Tong had improved very little in doing that.

Although Wang Tong felt confused as to if he was his friend's training partner or their coach, he conceded that weak opponents were better than none.

Wang Tong wanted to fight with Lie Jian because he was eager to find out how he would fare among the strongest. Wang Tong considered Lie Jian a perfect opponent, since he was the weakest among the elites. So, he would be a good stepping stone for Wang Tong to challenge more

Meanwhile, Lie Jian was also brewing his plan. He marveled at Patroclus's ability to finish off Lie Wushuang without lifting a finger. Lie Jian wasn't afraid of Patroclus and his tactics, but he was intrigued. He wagered that he would only gain a better idea of Patroclus's tactics if he were standing in the same arena as him, which is not likely to happen for a while. As Lie Jian lamented at the lack of a decent opponent in his life, he thought about Einherjar Wannabe again.

Lie Jian had never believed that Einherjar Wannabe was only 16 years old because it was not impossible to cheat one's age on the PA system. Lie Jian was certain that the age of Einherjar Wannabe would be around 20 to 25.

Lie Jian was good at many things, but not compromise. However, the urge to fight a worthy opponent had rattled his firm stance, tempting him to accept the fight in the PA system.

He figured that if he didn't accept Einherjar Wannabe's challenge in the PA system, Patroclus definitely would. So, he reasoned that it would be a pity to lose such a perfect practice target to his opponent for some minor details.

Therefore, Lie Jian decided to accept Wang Tong's terms. Yet, he figured that he needed some preparation before the fight.

After the school was done, Wang Tong headed straight to the virtual cafe to check if Lie Jian had replied his message. He was greeted by the owner's gleeful face. The lucky charm had worked. His business had turned around right after Wang Tong's visit.

Although Einherjar Wannabe didn't accept or refuse any challenges, his appearance at the PA system alone was a sensational news. Without an official explanation of Einherjar Wannabe's action and intent during that brief period he was online, all kinds of rumors spread across the internet.

Wang Tong turned on the terminal and saw Lie Jian's reply, and accepted all of the terms of conditions Lie Jian had listed.

According to Lie Jian's new terms, the PA match would take place on the weekend, and it would be a closed-door competition, meaning that no recording nor public was allowed during the game, and each combatant was allowed to bring only one witness to the arena.

Despite the peculiar terms, Wang Tong singed the contract and sent it away. Wang Tong couldn't care less about the forms and conditions of the fight, as long as the fight would be able to reveal his position among the elites.

Who would Lie Jian bring with him as a witness?

And who would Wang Tong bring?
