Chapter 391: Power of the Sky

Michaux could not accept the reality that someone else had gained the soul essence before him. Plus, Wang Tong was still far away from being an Einherjar. How would he have learned about the power of soul essence?

”Kom!”

Michaux slammed the staff down as a ray of cold light shot out from the tip of the staff. Meanwhile, Wang Tong charged up his GN force and sent a ray of golden light into the night sky.

As the two rays collided, they unleashed an immense energy that threatened to collapse the first layers of energy shield. As energy poured out profusely from the two fighters, both Li Shiming and Patroclus tightened their face and initiated their personal soul energy shield,

Outside the danger zone, no one could make out what was happening on the stage, as they murmured their admiration with awe.

The two fighters' performances had exceeded the audiences' expectation towards those of top fighters. Everyone was astonished by the incredible power of this generation of young fighters.

As the swirl of energy slowed down, the two rays of lights faded away. Wang Tong could sense the drastic difference between pulling the natural force with soul energy and being one with the natural energy. However, the risk of backfiring in blending oneself with the primordial force was significant, and such consequences could be catastrophic.

Fortunately for Wang Tong, after having survived the nuke blast ordeal on Norton, his body had been purified by the soul essence. Therefore, his soul energy was much more compatible with the natural force, thus lowering his risk.

Although Wang Tong knew practically nothing about the soul essence, today's fight was a solid first lesson for him.

Michaux stared at Wang Tong with envy. He had spent his entire life studying the soul essence, yet he was still denied its secrets.

Spurred by indignation, Michaux attacked again. He raised the staff above his head using his left hand while making a dozen hand signs with the right hand. Suddenly, the first layer of energy shield that had been invisible so far seemed to have turned into a glistering fluid, as it flowed into the staff like water being siphoned into a beaker—Michaux was absorbing the energy in the shield.

Wang Tong smiled calmly. Michaux's move didn't scare him. Instead, he felt more relaxed than before. He marveled at the unique advantage that the Tactics of the Blade had given him, as he reckoned that Michaux's method of obtaining energy was much inferior to his. Instead of becoming one with the natural force, Michaux was channeling it using his soul energy.

As the energy gathered inside the staff, a fiery bird appeared out of nowhere, hovering above it. The bird was a vivid representation of the Divine Master Sect's sigil—the undying phoenix.

Realizing that a coup de grace was coming, Wang Tong slammed the ground with a fist, and the rocks and debris started to tremble and rotate around the little crater, until they gained enough velocity and started to levitate. In a blink, Wang Tong had wrapped himself with a swirling tornado, with a few rays of golden light piercing through the cracks of the hurling rocks from time to time.
