Chapter 293: Fully Recovered

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

It was hard for anyone to deny the talent of Wang Tong, since he had caught up with his friends in a very short period.

Once Wang Tong got going, there was really nothing that could stop him. As he continued his improvement, he knew that he was about to break through a bottleneck.

Flash had also felt the vast improvements in Wang Tong's performance, and therefore suggested to have a final fight with him. The visiting students were about to return to Capth soon to prepare for the upcoming tournament. Despite the fact that Kal and Karl were still trying to best each other, Flash felt that they had reached their goal of the visit.

News about the final fight had spread like wildfire; Everyone was excited about the fight, as everyone thought that the competition would be exciting enough, as long as each opponent displayed just eighty percent of their skills.

At the beginning of the first round of the match, the audiences saw both contestants use the Art of Iron Wall as their starting formation. It was a formation that was well known for its wretchedness, as it would ruthlessly rattle the attacker's confidence until it crumbled.

Both contestants had focused heavily on their defense. The defense focused strategy had changed quite a lot ever since Wang Tong had first invented it. Everyone marveled at Flash's perfect macro management that was complemented by his flawless micro controls. He was able to make quick and accurate predictions about his opponent's moves based on the current status of the battle, and make effective adjustments based on his predictions.

The defense was the ultimate strategy, since once the attacker got frustrated with failure, he would eventually slip up and make a mistake. Meanwhile, the defender would be able to continually adjust his fleet position until they were at the most advantageous position to strike a blow at enemy ships. This strategy was the essence of the insights Flash had gained during his stay in Ayrlarng.

Wang Tong's lightning micromanagement had also allowed him to hold his ground firmly. There was no apparent winner after a few bouts of harassment and skirmishes.

However, despite the fact that Flash seemed to have gained a slight advantage regarding the number of fleets, people who knew the two fighters well started to feel worried for Flash. They knew that Wang Tong possessed the incredible ability in micro control, and despite Flash's better fleet composition and ship stats, micro control would become the determining factor at the later stage of the battle.

Lo and behold, Wang Tong finally decimated Flash's entire fleet and won the battle by relying on his unmatched skill in micro control.

Seeing that Wang Tong had fully recovered his full power, the students from Capth conceded that they would never cross path with Wang Tong during the finals of the tournament.

The only person that might be able to rival Wang Tong's micro skill was Bisu. However, Bisu could not accurately read opponent's motivations, so it was not likely that he would be able to survive until the later stage of the battle. Certain talents were innate and unteachable. For example, even if both Bisu and Wang Tong observed the same battle formations, their interpretation would be drastically different, which would then lead them to choose drastically different actions.

All aspects of the battle were difficult to improve when the fleet commander had reached a high level. However, the most difficult of all was the ability to make the right decision.

The members of the S clubs were shocked after the first match was over. The micro control skills they had just witnessed were the best of what they had seen. Despite his defeat, Flash's incredible skills had given the members of the S club a chance to see the real power of Wang Tong. Although Wang Tong had his own fighting style, the Confederation never named his style after him, since they understood that to achieve Wang Tong's fighting style required near perfect judgment, which was almost impossible to achieve. So, they found it was pointless to name anything that could not be repeated.

As a matter of fact, Wang Tong's fighting style was the most effective when deployed in the later stage of the battle. Despite its huge draw on the user's soul energy, it was the best way to secure a victory and crush the opponent's confidence.

Zhou Sisi and Cao Yi were both observing the battle quietly. They could tell that even after spending a considerable amount of mind power and soul energy, Wang Tong didn't seem to be tired. On the other hand, Flash appeared to be exhausted after the fierce battle.

Both Zhou Sisi and Cao Yi came to the same conclusion that Wang Tong's physical condition and soul energy were unparalleled.

With a brief rest, the two fighters started the second round. Wang Tong's starting formation had caught everyone off guard; it was the Art of the Soaring Heaven.

Wang Tong wanted to test his ability to combine the defense and offense, since he knew that when faced with the most potent fighters from outside the earth, defense might not be a wise option. So, he decided to sharpen his offensive skills as well.

The Art of Soaring Haven had gained huge popularity over the time largely due to its effectiveness. However, the entire plan of attack was hinged on the fact that the commander was able to elude his moves from his opponent. After all, once enemy scouts discovered the main fleet's position during the early stage of the battle, the defenseless fleet would be met with a catastrophic defeat.
