Chapter 360: Cure For The Sickness of Arrogance

Guan Dongyang was speechless at his setback, ”How... How come?”

Although his attack was powerful and covered a large range, it was spread too thin across a large space, and therefore gave Wang Tong ample time to absorb his energy.

Wang Tong had discovered that the secret of Mastery's technique was to finetune the vibration frequency of soul energy to that of the arcane power to control the unseen power that filled up the world. From this discovery, Wang Tong drew three basic conclusions about the mastery's power: first, the higher the soul energy, the more arcane power could be brought under control; second, the key to unlocking the power, once the resonance was established, was those cryptic hand signs; and third, the Martians were fond of fire, and hence the arcane energy he had summoned attained a fire attribute.

Wang Tong conceded that this unique technique was superior to the traditional GN force in terms of attack power. However, its defects were also very obvious.

As the ground exploded under Wang Tong's feet, Wang Tong suddenly disappeared from the arena, and half a second later, reappeared right in front of Guan Dongyang. Guan Dongyang was fast to react. However, his physical strength and speed was not even a fraction of Wang Tong's.

Before Guan Dongyang was able to defend himself effectively, Wang Tong kicked in his side, and the Martian immediately collapsed to the ground. By then, Wang Tong had already gotten a number on his opponent. Based on the meager GN force the Martian had offered throughout the fight, Wang Tong wagered that although Guan Dongyang's Mastery attack was powerful, his physical conditioning was inadequate.

Silence fell into the arena as the audience waited for Guan Dongyang to stand up. However, he never did.

”The winner is Wang Tong!”

There was no doubt that Guan Dongyang's performance was historical, as he had introduced a revolutionary technique to the world. However, he had lost the match for no explicable reason.

Standing on the crumbled floor and walls of the arena, Wang Tong smiled satisfyingly.

Han Linu was stupefied by Wang Tong's victory as he murmured to himself, ”What...What happened?”

”Is he made of Adamantine Alloy?”

This was the first time that the arena called in the repair crew to patch up the facility. However powerful Guan Dongyang's attack had been, he was still defeated by a no account.

Zhang Mi, the journalist, was elated by the outcome, and a bold headline appeared in her mind, ”The Bane of the Fire God.”

As if annoyed by the smug look on Wang Tong's face, Li Ruoer pouted her lips and grunted lightly. Li Ruoer's bitterness was loud and clear to Hu Yangxuan; he knew that the Enchantress was jealous.

”Li Ruoer, do you know what Wang Tong's expertise is?”

Li Ruoer was caught off guard by the question, then she shook her head.

”Curing the sickness of arrogance.” Without sparing the enchantress a glance, Hu Yangxuan sauntered out of the arena.

Ever since the tournament progressed to the playoff matches, all the fighters, except for the Magnificent Five, no longer held back their power, as they were all eager to prove themselves in front of the world.

In contrast, the heir of the great houses had by far only used a fraction of their full strength. But even so, the power at display was already impressive. This was particularly true about the only two female seeded players—Heidi and Li Ruoer.

The other two seeded fighters—Li Xin and Zhang Buyu, had also demonstrated their incredible abilities. With his Thunder Blade, Li Xin had been invincible. His sword attacks were infused with thunder attributes, which would paralyze his opponents upon contact.
