Chapter 397: Establish Dominance

However, Patroclus had forgotten to acknowledge Li Shiming, which had rubbed the heir of House Li the wrong way. Li Shiming had worked hard to improve himself, and therefore, he could not stomach the humiliation of being ignored.
For Li Shiming, this tournament should and only be about House Li, and there was no room for the Dower. His loathing towards Wang Tong also increased ten folds, as he believed that only a member of the House Li was fit for inheriting the power of the Blade Warrior, not some low-life no account. As Li Shiming's thoughts went on, his eyes held a luster that meant death.
Suddenly, a chubby round face appeared close to Li Shiming's eyes. The face beamed from side to side and shouted, ”Go Wang Tong Go! Go Ayrlarng Go!”
It was Karl.
Feeling embarrassed, Hu Yangxuan and Zhou Sisi hurried to drag Karl back to his seat.
”The winner is—PATROCLUS!”
This had been an easy victory for Patroclus, since he had only started to become serious when he used the Deva Lance. It was obvious then that Patroclus's previous fight must have been excruciatingly boring for him, yet he held his patience to wait for the fight against Wang Tong. All the while, Wang Tong's excellent performance was Patroclus's only consolation.
After Wang Tong's fight against Michaux, Patroclus was finally certain that he would be up against the heir of the Blade Warrior. After having watched Wang Tong's fight, even Patroclus was no longer certain of his victory. Meanwhile, this feeling of a sudden lack of confidence and superiority was exhilarating for the Ivantain Prince. Ever since he had mastered the Tactics of the Deva King, Patroclus had always been able to achieve whatever his heart desired. Despite the obvious convenience, the forlorn boredom from a lack of challenge had turned his life into a drudgery.
Truth be told, Patroclus had planned his attack so that the lance only grazed Heidi. Otherwise, the Kaedeians might have to choose another princess from the royal bloodline, because Heidi would never leave the Moon alive. His lance attack was more of a symbolic gesture, a manifesto of his determination and a response to Wang Tong's last match.
Wang Tong was one of the handfuls that had understood his intention clearly and well. When Wang Tong saw Patroclus's stunning performance, he finally understood the ”frenemy” relationship between Li Feng and Rilangalos. In addition to Patroclus, Wang Tong conceded that he had an additional opponent: Li Shiming.
Seeing Wang Tong had attracted the attention of the Ivantian Prince, Ma Xiaoru felt proud of his boyfriend.
”The youngsters nowadays are incredible!” Wu Xin marveled. She had thought that the tournament would be a child's play. ”But... how did Patroclus know about Wang Tong's hidden identity?”
Ma Dutian cracked a smile; he was also very pleased by Wang Tong's performance. ”Perhaps it's his sixth sense, hehe. I look forward to their fight. However, Wang Tong will have to cross Li Shiming first. Xin, it's a different time now. I doubt anyone can stop Patroclus if Wang Tong failed.” Ma Dutian lamented. Until a few minutes ago before he had seen Patroclus's lance attack, Ma Dutian had no idea what it meant to be the heir of Rilangalos.
”Wang Tong will defeat him! And he will become my son in law.”
”Hehe, fine. You sound as if I don't like that boy. Anyhow, just for your information, your son in law has told your daughter everything about himself. In other words, she now knows much more about the Blade Warrior than both of us combined.”
”You mean...”Wu Xin was taken back by the news.
Ma Dutian nodded. ”I am glad that they trusted each other.”
”I agree. That's something you can learn as well. ”
