Chapter 374: Silver Lining (2/2)
Wang Tong pumped his fists together with a smile, and then cranked up his soul energy. Truth be told, he was very impressed by Li Ruoer's improvement. He had never thought that a girl would be able to possess such endurance and talent. Through strict self-discipline and training, she had become a real fighter. Despite her other faults, Wang Tong acknowledged her as a worthy opponent.
Wang Tong's soul energy kept on increasing, and it reached four hundred and ninety quickly. Everyone's breath was caught in their throats as they watched Wang Tong getting closer to advancing to level six.
Karl grabbed onto Hu Yangxuan's arm in excitement. He could not believe his eyes. Hu Yangxuan was also shocked by the turn of events, so much so that he didn't even feel the pain in his arm under Karl's iron grip.
Zhou Sisi's eyes lit up with admiration and glee. She had gone through so much hardship together with Wang Tong that it was impossible for her to not fall for him.
”Kom!”
Wang Tong's soul energy finally reached level six.
There he was, this year's second level six fighter, and a previously no account from an A-Class Academy, standing on the stage and reaching out his arms to embrace the cheers.
Even as the heir of the House of Li, Li Ruoer's advancement was seen as impressive, much less that of Wang Tong.
Lie Jian's eyes lit up at the sight of Wang Tong's sol reading, as realization suddenly down on him that Wang Tong was the fighter he had been looking for.
Patroclus had been watching the fight quietly in his house. Seeing Wang Tong's advancement, he simply smiled faintly.
Li Shiming could no longer sit still and watch the fight. It was not Wang Tong's power, but something else that had deeply disturbed him.
Wu Xin was shocked by the turn of events too as she pondered the possibility of Ayrlarng unprecedentedly cranking out a level six fighter.
”I told you so, mom!” Ma Xiaoru said with pride, but she, too, was surprised. Although Ma Xiaoru knew that Wang Tong was a powerful fighter, she didn't think that he could reach level six so fast.
On the stage, the two fighters started the fight again.
As the two fighters advanced their soul level, so did the intensity of the fight. With Rosy in her hand, Li Ruoer looked just like the War Maiden, Valkyrie. She had to win this battle. Otherwise, she would never have a chance again.
”Kom! Kom!”
Wang Tong blocked the sword with both fists. So powerful was the legendary weapon that Wang Tong was not able to execute his ”Layered Fist of Tong” whatsoever.
Wang Tong took a few steps back while Li Ruoer slowly landed on her feet. She had learned from her last encounter with Wang Tong, and used as little soul energy in her attack as possible. The majority of the damage in her attack was physical, coming from the legendary ”Rosy.”
Wang Tong felt a gust of wind as he saw Rosy turn into a beam of light. The beam of light was already sending rays of light made out of Blade Aura at him.
”Phoenix's Dance!”
The audiences watched as thousands of Blade-Aura rays flew towards Wang Tong from all directions, and worried if Wang Tong were able to fend off so many attacks at once.
”Kom!”
Wang Tong crossed his arms and shouted, then a giant ice shield suddenly appeared around him, blocking the Blade Aura.
Under the powerful attacks, the ice shield didn't last long. However, even as the ice shield cracked open, Wang Tong stormed out from his cover and punched at Li Ruoer.
Li Ruoer's face suddenly paled as she hurried back, hoping to cushion the blow. However, the fist had reached further than she had thought, as Wang Tong's strike hit home.
No one had expected such a turn of events. A student from Ayrlarng had not only reached level six, but also landed a solid blow on the heir of House of Li.
