Chapter 312: My Name Is Karl! (2/2)
After seeing Karl's victory, Samantha jumped out of her chairs and hooray-ed like a child.
Two of the four semi-final combatants were from Ayrlarng. Ayrlarng had never achieved such accomplishment, as this had never happened even during the time of Li Feng. Samantha had done it. She had not only brought funding and discipline to Ayrlarng, but she had also discovered geniuses hidden among ordinary students.
In a splendid manor somewhere on earth, Ma Xiaoru hugged Li Ruoer out of sheer excitement ”Ruoer; we did it! They did it!” She said with a happy voice.
Li Ruoer masked a smile on her face. She was convinced that Karl was about to lose the third round. However, after a brief exchange of words with Wang Tong, Karl had turned the situation around.
The drastic effect of Wang Tong's words had piqued her interest.
As the heir of House Li, she was trained to be a great leader and a motivational artist. She always regarded her brother Li Shiming as a brilliant leader like her ancestor Li Feng, who was able to attract talented minds around him.
While she was dealing with Wang Tong, she felt that she was, although unwillingly, attracted to the boy, as her mind gravitated towards him uncontrollably.
”Ruoer, if Wang Tong wins one more fight, you promise you will talk to my dad, right?” Ma Xiaoru asked expectantly.
Li Ruoer nodded with a smile, but her eyes betrayed her jealousy.
During the semi-final, Wang Tong would be fighting against Flash, while Karl would be up against KKK.
In two days, as the semi-final unraveled, there would be even more intense fighting in store for the world to see. KKK was the best Ivantian player; his skills paled under comparison with Lola, yet, Karl defeated Lola. Therefore, everyone thought that there would be no surprise to see Karl beat his opponent and enter the final match.
The pompous Ivantians would have never thought that the joke would be on them.
Wang Tong and his friends celebrated their victory in their accommodations. None of them were surprised by Karl and Wang Tong's victory.
”Well done Karl! I was wondering what you and Cao Yi were up to.”
”Haha, Boss, I had never thought of using it. But I had no other options at the time.”
”Karl's performance was excellent. Even when we were practicing, we never thought that it would one day be used.” Cao Yi said sheepishly as he scratched his head.
”That's right. We only practiced it as an ambush, but it seemed like it worked well even in a legit battle. Am I a genius or am I a genius? Haha!”
The three burst out laughing at Karl's goofiness. They were happy that Karl was able to walk out of his defeat and regained full confidence. There would be many roadblocks on his way towards a successful future, and therefore, it was essential for him to learn how to restore confidence after a defeat.
”Why don't we head out and walk around while we are on the Moon?”
”That right! let's celebrate!”
”I agree, Boss. We haven't really toured around the place yet ever since we have arrived.”
Wang Tong nodded and decided to take the day off to relax.
With the help of the service bot, the four changed clothes and rushed to the streets of the Moon. Although Shang Jin was a decent sized city on Earth, it seemed like a squalid ghetto compared to the Metropolitan of the Moon.
It was dubbed as the most fabulous city mankind had ever built, and the students felt that it had lived up to its reputation.
They said one wouldn’t have visited the moon until they visited the Einherjar Memorial Hall that commemorated the fight between the Blade Warrior and Rilangalos.
It was a confrontation between the most mysterious warrior, the Blade Warrior, and the pride of Ivantians, the perfect human, Rilangalos.
Since no one knew what the Blade Warrior looked like, the Hall exhibited only the statue of Rilangalos.
The four students stared at the statue in utmost reverence. Although Li Feng was the high commander of the human alliance, without Rilangalos's support, his rise to power would be much more difficult. The alliance between the two was the cornerstone upon which the current human world was built.
Wang Tong was the only person who knew the real identity of the Blade Warrior, and he marveled at General Li Feng's self-control in holding the secret for so many years.
