Chapter 326: Hidden Power (2/2)
Although the test was unspeakably cruel, it reflected the style of the TNN truthfully. Unlike the academies that had chosen to focus on a steady progression when it came down to the students' training, TNN was well known for its extreme methods to achieve a sudden breakthrough. Although TNN's method was less popular, it was no less efficient.
As the two instructors looked through the large window, they saw that Wang Tong still acted as if the violent soul energy attack was nothing. The two instructors both had the suspicion that Wang Tong's training chamber was broken, as they ordered the workers to double check the connections.
”Sir, all output lines are hot. His vital signs are normal as well. There is no apparent increase in heart rate, and his soul energy output is rock steady, but just enough to cancel the attack waves.”
Inside the training chamber, Wang Tong cracked a knowing smile at Massa and Gansus.
The equipment at TNN was much more advanced than even those in the S Class academies. However, its soul energy output fell short under comparison with that of Einherjar Wannabe, whom Wang Tong had been training with. The three hundred sol seemed to be a piece of cake. Also, Mr. Wannabe was much more cunning and methodical in the delivery of his attacks than the machines.
Although it might seem to be a great idea to release large amount of soul energy inside a confined area mechanically, the predictability made it too easy to defend for a high-level fighter such as Wang Tong.
”What should we do next?”
”He seemed to be more eager to test his limit than us. I say we crank it up to four hundred. What do you think?”
”I say four fifty. ”
Massa waved his hand at the worker as the latter cranked up the dial to four hundred and fifty excitedly.
”Turn off the other two; they have reached their limit.”
”Yes, sir!”
After their test was over, Cao Yi and Hu Yangxuan were exhausted and drenched in sweat. Unable to pick themselves up to their feet, they both laid on the floor as they watched Wang Tong smile at them nonchalantly.
”I have to give credit to these two as well, they have trained hard. ” Massa nodded approvingly. He reckoned that without intense training, the two would not have lasted this long.
As Massa looked to the other side of the room, he found that the soul energy attack still seemed not to affect Wang Tong.
The development stirred both instructors, as they knew that that much soul energy would make even a fifth level fighter's stomach churn.
Thanks to the gruesome training Wang Tong had to endure in the crystal space, not only he was able to withstand the powerful wave of soul energy, he had done it with ease.
”Marvelous! What a genius!”
”I bet this lad is going to pull the rug from under the Great Houses.”
”Golden Hawk must be pleased.”
”I know that you wanted to recruit him into TNN. Otherwise, you wouldn’t agree to Samantha's request. However, I think it’s better if you forget about it. This kid is a genius and a perfect material for a general. He would only become a lunatic if he stayed in TNN, like us.” Gansus gave Massa a sidelong glance as he spoke.
”The Great House and the Golden Hawk has controlled the council; you know more than me that we need him. Plus, he needs our protection.” Massa said.
”He has done well so far without our protection, hasn't he? I don't think the discrete lifestyle here at TNN suits his bearings. ” Gansus shook his head.
”Tiger, I would hold on to my opinion. We cannot afford to pass up a talent like Wang Tong. He would do well in TNN, I can see that even now.”
”He would rise to power no matter where he stays. I am afraid that the TNN's shrewd methods might go against the grain with his kindhearted nature. The military would be a much better place for him.”
”Hehe… Well, I guess there is no point in arguing about it between us. It all comes down to his own decision.”
