Lie Jian's soul energy reached two hundred and thirty. If it were anyone else, the amount of soul energy at display would be considered significant, but it was relatively unimpressive compared to Lie Jian's real power.

The unusual tension in the air told Wang Tong that Lie Jian's power was beyond the simple soul energy and the GN force. After all, the five major tactics were at par with the Tactics of the Blade. Within Lie Jian's seemingly normal soul energy, Wang Tong could sense something lurking behind, something more powerful and sinister.

Both Michaux and Patroclus had sensed the strong energy behind Lie Jian's facade, but neither of them seemed to be surprised by it. They knew what they had felt; it was the power of the double GN force.

By then, Wang Tong had also realized that his opponent had double GN force at his disposal, so he cherished the intense training he had endured in the crystal that had brought his skill to the next level. Otherwise, Wang Tong concluded, he would be defeated in an instant.

As soon as Wang Tong initiated his tactics and opened up his soul energy, the other three's faces turned black.

They had sensed a fifth level soul energy in the Einherjar Wannabe's start-up phase, which meant that Einherjar Wannabe's real soul energy ought to be even higher. This was not the power they had been expecting from the mysterious fighter.

Wang Tong cranked his soul energy to just above two hundred, and felt that it should be enough to counter the belligerent pressure emanated from his opponent.

Einherjar Wannabe's display of strength had finally satisfied Patroclus's curiosity; all of his questions were answered by then. Patroclus no longer wanted to watch the battle, so he went up to the audience section, found a seat and sat down with his eyes closed, savoring this blissful moment.

”Good evening everyone, this is the live broadcast of the fight between Einherjar Wannabe and Lie Jian. Although, we cannot see what is going on inside the arena, we can still feel it with our soul energy. As we know, this is a fight of the century, and both combatants had invited —Oh! We have noticed that Einherjar Wannabe's soul energy has reached the fifth level. This will be the first time Einherjar Wannabe ever reached the fifth level. If I recall correctly, he was able to defeat a fifth level warrior while he was only at the fourth level. It really makes one wonder what would happen today behind those closed doors!”

The people outside of the arena shouted in excitement, despite the very little data they had about the situation inside.

Lie Jian felt exhilarated by his opponent's level of strength. He knew that Einherjar Wannabe had been hiding his real power, but he didn't expect the mysterious fighter to be so powerful.

With a blaring sound, Lie Jian dashed forward. There was only one word in his combat vocabulary: attack.

The blazing GN force quickly spread throughout Lie Jian's body, turning him into a weapon. Despite the fact that the Martians were masters of modern military style combat, Lie Jian knew how to use all kinds of ancient weapon, and was also a master of fist and palm strikes techniques. Lie Jian knew that the Martians were a relatively new civilization, and therefore, they needed to learn from their more ancient counterparts. Lie Jian had spent a lot of time and money, seeking masters of martial arts from earth and moon, and invited them over to Mars as guests. Due to the restriction of their soul energy, these martial artists might not be deadly on the battlefield. However, the new techniques they had brought to the Martians were invaluable. Lie Jian had then improved his own techniques by merging the essence of the old masters’ techniques with his.

The Li were the masters of the sword, and the Dower were the masters of the spears, but Lie Jian was the master of everything, and he didn't even need a weapon.

Lie Jian's attack was powerful, direct and came with strong intent. As the cultivator of the Tactics of the Blaze, Lie Jian was able to unleash any technique's full damage potential.

In addition to the Tactics of the Blaze, which had given the attack a unique elemental attribute, the technique was an improved version of an ancient martial art called the Zhong Zheng Fist. It was an old technique that focused on the attack with wide open forms, to achieve maximum damage. It had become doubly deadly, with the added effect of the Tactics of the Blaze.

So far, Lie Jian had only met one person who had countered this move, and it was Li Shiming.

What would Einherjar Wannabe do?

Michaux's expression remained calm; he knew exactly how powerful Lie Jian's attack was. However, he reasoned that if Einherjar Wannabe couldn't even counter Lie Jian's first move, he would not deserve this stage.

Facing such a deadly attack, Wang Tong didn't even flinch. He arched his back into a defensive posture as lights flashed in his eyes.

Wang Tong attacked at Lie Jian with a knuckle-whitening fist, as he roared out his battle cry.

Wang Tong moved so fast that even his shadow could not catch up with him.
