Chapter 287: Motivated (2/2)

”Einherjar! Send that little b*stard home!”

”Knock his f*cking head off!”

”Kill, kill, kill!”

The cheers of the public were deafening. They had wanted to see this fight for too long, and right then, all that suppressed anticipation exploded into a mindless thirst for violence.

Suddenly, the western, northern and the southern gates also opened up, and three golden carpets found their way to Lie Jian, Michaux, and Patroclus.

The volume of the cheers reached a new height, as the public were taken over by their excitement on seeing so many legendary fighters at once.

Despite their young age, all three fighters remained calm at the sight of the turbulent sea of people.

The four proceeded into the arena as the gate shut behind them.

All news outlets started their ”broadcasting”. It was barely a broadcast since no one knew what was going on inside the arena, and all the public could do was watch a few experts arguing about their speculations based on the change of soul energy they had sensed.

Doubts towards Einherjar Wannabe had never been uncommon, as many people called him a cheater and a coward. However, all the doubts were washed away after his appearance at the arena.

As soon as the four young men walked into the arena, they found the loud cheers disappear. The four looked at one another for a while, until the three of them decided to settle their gaze on Einherjar Wannabe.

Einherjar Wannabe cracked a smile, ”Thank you for coming. I knew all of you have the same question, and I promise that you will get the answer you seek today.”

Einherjar Wannabe's words had hit the mark. The mysterious Einherjar Wannabe had held many secrets: his identity, tactics, age, etc. Each answer was more irresistible to the Great Houses than the one before.

”Great! I like your attitude!” Patroclus praised, then he turned to Lie Jian, ”Lie Jian, I wonder if you are willing to let me fight on your behalf?”

Unlike Lie Jian and Mi Xiu, who were still wondering about Einherjar Wannabe's real identity, Patroclus had already seen through the cover, because just at the first sight, his tactics of the Deva King had reacted the only way it would in front of an heir of the Blade Warrior.

The legend had returned, and the Dower had been waiting for him for three hundred years.

Patroclus could not hide the anxiousness inside him, and even Lie Jian and Michaux found Patroclus out of his character.

”Patroclus, this is our fight, not yours. You are a witness, so do just that.” There was no way that Lie Jian would let Patroclus fight in his stead.

A smile found the corner of Michaux's lips as he unfurled his soul energy and spread it across the arena like a web. The presence of Michaux's soul energy seemed to have soothed Patroclus's mind and evaporated his eagerness to fight ”Ah... of course. That was rather...untoward of me. ”

”Alright then, let's do it!” Lie Jian announced.

Lie Jian licked his lips, revealing a row of teeth. He wondered what had made Patroclus act out of character, and he conceded that the only way to find out the answer was to fight.

Without even moving a muscle, Patroclus and Michaux pushed back about 20 meters. If there were audiences around, they would be stunned by the two witness' moves.

Lie Jian extended his right hand, and the soul energy that had taken the form of fire burnt brightly on his skin. Lie Wushuang's soul fire paled under the comparison of Lie Jian's much brighter and more intense blaze.

These were the real Tactics of the Blaze.
