Lee Xin's eyes glinted as he realized what a great opportunity it was. Should he defeat Li Shiming, he would be able to push the fame of House Lee to a new height.
Facing his hawkish opponent, Li Shiming appeared calm. He had seen many powerful fighters, and therefore, he was unruffled by Lee Xin's threatening stare.
Li Shiming had come to terms with the fact that his life revolved around being challenged, and had already gotten used to it.
As for Lee Xin, he was one of the strongest fighters his family had ever produced, and was determined to add his family name to the list of great houses. On the Moon, the Lee family had already exerted a significant influence.
The two fighters bowed to each other; since they were both trained by their Einherjar Fathers and shared equal talent, this fight was bound to be an uphill battle for both of them.
Unlike a fight between two ordinary fighters, this fight meant a great deal, not only to the two fighters, but also to their family.
The audience-seat was packed; no one wanted to pass up the opportunity to watch and learn from the two level six fighters. This kind of learning was especially useful to other level six fighters, since they were on the same level.
Ma Xiaoru and Li Ruoer also attended the match, seated in the VIP section. Although Li Ruoer had since learned that House Ma had officially acknowledged Wang Tong and Ma Xiaoru's relationship, she didn't mind it. Ever since her defeat, she had decided to distance herself from her troubles for a while to recuperate.
Plus, Li Ruoer was moved by the way Ma Xiaoru treated her. Reflecting on her previous wrongdoings against Ma Xiaoru and Wang Tong, Li Ruoer felt only regret and bitterness. If she lost her best friend Ma Xiaoru, she would have lost everything.
”Xiaoru. you are so lucky.” Li Ruoer blurted. Her words seemed to have come out of nowhere, as everyone else was on the edge of their seats waiting for the fight to start.
Ma Xiaoru knew that Li Ruoer was disappointed after being defeated by Wang Tong. She wagered that in Li Ruoer's eyes, Wang Tong had practically stolen the victory from her. However, Ma Xiaoru was surprised to find out that Li Ruoer didn't hold any grudge against Wang Tong, especially considering her high self-esteem.
”Ruoer, I am sure you will get what you are looking for soon. I noticed that Lie Jian seemed to have taken an interest in you.”
Hearing the name, Li Ruoer furrowed her brow and said, ”He is so annoying! I have never seen anyone so full of himself. Eh? Does Wang Tong know Michaux? Look, they are talking to each other.”
Wang Tong and Michaux sat in the front row of the reserved section, chatting with each other. The audiences around them gossiped as to why the no-account Wang Tong would suddenly become friends with the young master. Even Karl and his friends were astonished by their friendship.
Wang Tong and Michaux didn't mind the murmurs around them.
”What do you think of this fight, Brother Wang?”
”I think Li Shiming will have an edge during the battle.”
”Both House Li and the Dower knew the way of the divine path, and had worked hard to uncover its secret. However, neither of them had scratched even the surface. That being said, despite a large amount of information we gained about the divine path, the Divine Master Sect is still far from unearthing its true power by a long chalk. What do you think we have done wrong? ” Michaux asked.
”Brother Odin, what do you think is the difference between focusing solely on soul energy versus focusing solely on physical strength?” Wang Tong replied with a question and then cracked a smile.
”What is the meaning of soul essence?” Michaux decided to get straight to the point.
”It's hard to describe in words. I can show it to you later when we fight.” Wang Tong announced.
