Chapter 328: Eye-Opener

Wang Tong shrugged as he scanned the three opponents. His attention was drawn immediately by three prominent features: two big bosoms, a bold shiny head, and a fearsome Afro.

”Hey kiddo, are you ready?”

The three were slightly disappointed after seeing how young their opponent was, as they doubted that the boy would be as powerful as they thought.

Wang Tong stared at the skinhead curiously, as if he were trying to refrain from asking him a question. After a brief pause, Wang Tong broke the silence, ”Your head is so... bright and ...shiny! How did you do it?”

The skinhead was not impressed by Wang Tong's question, and he took it as a taunt. ”Captain, let me go first. I want to teach him some respect.”

Seeing Liva nod, Skin Head cranked up his soul energy and drew out the GN force. Judging by the soul energy, Wang Tong could tell that the Skin Head was a fifth level fighter.

The Bloody Bats' over-the-top behavior was hinged on their superior abilities. Unlike the age of power suites when dark horses constantly challenged the positions of their higher tire counterparts, the METAL suits ushered in an era of absolute dominance of a few geniuses. The relative stability had lent conceit to the powerful, and encouraged ostentatious behavior.

Although Skin Head looked like he was only in his early twenties, he had already reached a high level of soul energy. Furthermore, his real-life combat experience ought to make him deadlier than any academy graduate. He threw himself at Wang Tong with abandon, bashing his opponent with his bold and shiny head. The heavy weight of his body made him look like a charging tank.

Wang Tong side-stepped swiftly and the skinhead, carried by his momentum, was about to crash straight into the wall. However, right before Skin Head was about to kiss the wall, he suddenly changed his pace, and as if by magic, he walked onto the wall and then to the ceiling. In a blink of eyes, Skin Head was already right above Wang Tong's head, boring his fist down onto Wang Tong as he fell.

Wang Tong watched as Skin Head finished the entire sequence in one go, and realized that his opponent had archived this stunt by altering the gravity around him using his GN force.

As Skin Head thought he was about to finish off his opponent with a deadly punch, Wang Tong suddenly yanked his right arm up and unleashed a wave of unseen force that sent the descending Skin Head back up to the ceiling. The impact created many cracks ”under” Skin Head's body, on the ceiling.

A faint smile hung on Wang Tong's face. He had seen this trick before, and had countered it many times while fighting against the Pirate King Zackery. So difficult was the fight in the crystal against Mr. Wannabe's imagined persona that Wang Tong had seen and exhausted all the tricks one could perform with the GN force and soul energy. Therefore, when he saw Skin Head's iteration of the trick which Wang Tong had already learned by rote, Wang Tong merely acted out of instinct and resolved the attack in an instant.

Being pinned upside down on the ceiling, Skin Head wiggled his body, trying to break free from his opponent's GN force. However, regardless of how hard he had tried, his body remained on the ceiling as if he were glued to it.

Seeing his teammate in trouble, Green Afro jumped into the fight and punched at Wang Tong with a fist imbued with explosive GN force.

Sensing the incoming danger on his side, Wang Tong threw a glance at the attacker and hurled a fist to greet him.

The two fists collided with a loud blast. Green Afro was sent flying backward by the force of Wang Tong's punch, as a flurry of plasters and dust fell from the cracked ceiling. Before the dust settled onto the ground, Wang Tong registered Liva attacking him with a stream of soul energy from the corner of his eyes. As an expert at using soul energy, Liva had many methods to turn the soul energy into a lethal weapon at her disposal. This time, she had chosen a technique called ”pinpoint explosion.” The purpose of the pinpoint explosion technique was to disrupt Wang Tong's movements by applying soul energy at pivotal joins on Wang Tong's body, where movements were hinged upon. The disruption to Wang Tong's movement would give the Bloody Bats some time to join forces. Then, they might have a chance of winning this fight.

A sharp thread of soul energy darted across the air and reached its destination on Wang Tong's body. However, Liva watched in surprise as her victim smiled at her, seemingly unaffected by her attack.

Green Afro finally picked himself up, but his defeat still disheveled him. His explosive GN force had been invincible until now. The force in his opponent's punch had made him realize that his power was mere child's play compared to that of Wang Tong.

Wang Tong turned his head over towards the two instructors on the other side of the giant glass pane and then asked, ”Are you two going to join us or not?”

”Haha! You were right! These youngsters are no match for Wang Tong.” Gansus smiled wryly. He really liked Wang Tong, and if not because he knew what was best for Wang Tong, he too would recruit Wang Tong into TNN as Massa suggested. After many years of service at the school, Gansus had changed his view on many things, and was no longer the brutal and merciless Tiger that he used to be. The positive change in him came with a hefty price—his leg.

Massa shook his head and smiled, ”We got too caught up with his young age.”

”This lad is going to grow up to be one of the toughest son of a gun in the Confederation. We should count ourselves lucky to be able to witness his growth.”

”Among the three major factions, the Earthlings need the fresh blood like him the most.”

”Earth is the origin of all humans in the known universe. It should also be where the new legend is born.”
