Chapter 328: Eye-Opener (2/2)

Massa threw away his jacket and heaved open the door to the training room. ”You three are done here. Get out now.”

Skin Head thudded back on to the ground after Wang Tong released him, and Liva also managed to gather herself after Wang Tong untangled her soul energy from his.

Dumbfounded, the Bloody Bats walked out of the training room while they were still trying to come to terms with their defeat.

Gansus waved at them to join him in watching the fight.

Liva plodded towards Gansus. The defeat had taken the wind out of her sail. She could sense that the opponent was much stronger than the three of them combined.

”Sir, may I ask who that boy is?” Liva asked curiously. The catastrophic defeat still shook her voice.

As Gansus smiled away the question, Liva suddenly felt the ground trembling underneath her feet. She knew right away that Wang Tong and Massa had started fighting.

The two hurled fist at each other and both were staggered back a few steps by the impact.

Skin Head rubbed his light bulb-like head and watched incredulously as Wang Tong managed to hold his ground against Massa.

”Well done lad! I have never thought that you could achieve such great power so quickly. I will no longer hold back my soul energy, so be careful!” Massa announced. He was exceedingly pleased to see how powerful Wang Tong had gotten.

”We shall see!” Wang Tong shouted. He had been waiting for this fight for too long; all his previous opponents were either overpowered or too weak.

The two fighters exchanged a few rounds of attacks. The impact of their GN forces filled the room with blaring noises like the drumbeat on the battlefield. Seeing that Massa had improved his ability in his absence, Gansus nodded approvingly.

As Gansus nodded again and again following Massa's every excellent execution, the three teenagers were shocked by the power at display.

Although Massa had subconsciously cranked up his soul energy until it reached level six, Wang Tong did not even flinch as he fended off the attack with only a level five soul energy. This had really impressed his audiences.

The two combatants were thoroughly engrossed in the visceral combat, and had forgotten that they were in the training room. Massa seemed to have gained an edge in terms of skill and magnitude of soul energy, but Wang Tong's quick reflexes and efficient movements made him look like a battle-hardened warrior. He was able to prevent his stronger opponent from gaining any tangible advantages.

Gansus was well aware of Massa's strength, and he registered that Massa didn't go all out in the fight. Most TNN's top fighters, including Massa, excelled at extremely deadly attacks. But Gansus could tell that Massa's moves were far from posing any real danger to Wang Tong, since he had used only seventy percent of his power. Despite that, Gansus was surprised to find out that Wang Tong appeared to be able to fend off Massa's attack with ease.

Gansus knew that Wang Tong would be a force to be reckoned with the first time he saw him. But after a year, Gansus conceded that he had underestimated this boy after all.

Green Afro's jaw almost dropped to the floor as he watched the two's fight incredulously. He would have never thought that anyone under twenty would be able to stand against Massa. Green Afro was not alone in his surprise, as all his teammates were in awe towards Wang Tong's incredible power at such a young age, and conceded that the fight was a real eye-opener. They had finally learned what was required to take on the S class missions.

As the audiences were steeped in awe with Wang Tong's power, the fight carried out without any clear winner for a while, until the two finally decided to give up, fearing that the reckless force would destroy the training room if they continued.

Exhausted but pleased, Wang Tong sat down on the floor. This fight had offered him a precious opportunity for self-evaluation.

On the other hand, Massa conceded that he had to re-evaluate his training plan, since he doubted that he would be able to efficiently train Wang Tong after seeing how powerful he had gotten. Only a half year ago, Massa was still confident in taking on the role of Wang Tong's coach. However, right then, he was not so sure any longer.

”Lad, your special training has finished. While you wait for your friends, do you mind hanging around here at TNN?” Massa said as he picked up Wang Tong to his feet.

”Yes, Sir!”

”No need to call me sir anymore, call me Old Ma. Gansus was against the idea of recruiting you into TNN as a formal member. He said it would limit your future, and I agree with him. That being said, I think it would be helpful for you to gain some understanding of TNN. ” Massa said earnestly. He had already treated Wang Tong as one of his close friends, after the young boy had reminded him so much of his youth.

”No problem. I'm sure I would like it here.”
