Chapter 367: Ice Mastery

Athena took a deep breath. To make sure that her feelings did not cheat her, she would have to test the boy's real power. So, she released the full capacity of her soul energy and let it soar to over four hundred and fifty. This was the largest amount of soul energy the audiences had ever seen ever since the beginning of the tournament.

Athena carefully channeled her GN force into the sword and charged at Wang Tong. Wang Tong didn't hurry to defend himself. Instead, he measured the flow of energy carefully and confirmed that the Kaedeian's soul energy was slowly invading his sea of consciousness. The intrusion was pervasive, yet hard to detect. Although Wang Tong was not sure what technique the Kaedeian had used, he fought back the intrusion by repelling it out of his system. Already, Athena's charging speed seemed to have slowed down, and Wang Tong saw an opportunity to strike.

As the Kaedeian blade whizzed across the air, Wang Tong grabbed firmly onto the blade handle with one hand, while two fingers of the other hand found the Kaedeian's neck and rested against it like a tip of a dagger.

”You have lost” Wang Tong announced coldly.

Wang Tong had seen through the trick that the Kaedeian had used against many opponents before him. Although the invasion of the sea of consciousness had been very effective, it was useless against Wang Tong.

Athena held back her excitement as she conceded her defeat. She bowed to Wang Tong almost reverentially, a gesture that caught Wang Tong off guard.

The match ended in a matter of minutes, and it took the audiences a few seconds to take in what had just happened.

”The winner is—Wang Tong!”

Wang Tong's every victory marked another significant step in Ayrlarng's history. Even a draw would be a great achievement for Wang Tong, much less winning so easily.

Zhang Mi, the journalist, had also been following Wang Tong's every step. She noted that ever since Wang Tong had entered the playoffs, he had defeated his opponents with decisive advantages.

”Was that because his opponents were too weak? Not likely” Zhang Mi wrote in her report. ”Not only were all the remaining fighters renowned warriors, but it was also very unlikely that the Kaedeians would send a weak fighter to the tournament.”

Meanwhile, on the stage, Wang Tong flushed under the fiery gaze of Athena, and wondered if it was the Kaedeian's custom to stare so longingly at their opponent after the match.

The cameraman also gave a portrait shot of Athena's face. The young girl did not look like she was upset by her defeat, as her eyes burned with a luster of desire and anticipation.

”His opponent is too weak! Nevertheless, this kid does worth his salt.” Wu Xin announced.

”Mom! He is the best!” Ma Xiaoru claimed.

Wu Xin cracked a smile. She agreed that Wang Tong had done a very good job getting this far into the tournament. However, his next opponent was Li Ruoer, and Wu Xin was convinced that he would finally taste defeat.

”I want to see him.”

”I knew you would say that. I suggest not. His next opponent is Li Ruoer. You don't want to distract him preparing for his next fight, do you?”

”Wang Tong will win, I am sure of it. He is not afraid of the Tactics of the Enchantress.”

”Hehe, how would you know that?”

”I had sparred with him before using tactics of the Enchantress. It was useless against him.”

Wu Xin padded her daughter's head and said, ”You silly girl, do you really think House of Li would teach you the real Tactics of the Enchantress?”

”But—”

”But, you still felt that you are more powerful than most of your classmates?” Wu Xin helped her daughter finish her words.

Ma Xiaoru nodded. Not only could she feel the power inside her, but her soul energy had also reached over two hundred.

”The key of the tactics of the Enchantress was its cultivation method. House of Li must have reserved the most saline component of the cultivation out of your training, so that you would never reach your full potential. Can't blame them though, as we don't share all of our technology with them either. ” Wu Xin said and then heaved a sigh.
