Chapter 407: My Money Was Not On You

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Ayrlarng had become one of the most popular Academies on earth despite the fact that it was an A-Class Academy. Having witnessed Wang Tong's victory, every young man and woman on earth wanted to join this renowned school.

After the fight, Wang Tong gained another nickname: Omni-Fighter, as people remembered that he had also won the championship at the fleet combat tournament.

Wang Tong had set the bar so high that people doubted if anyone would be able to match his achievements. Also, Wang Tong's success gave hope to many ordinary people who used to see the tournament as a game for the privileged few.

The feeling inside Earthlings was mixed with joy and remorse. They celebrated Wang Tong's victory as much as they mourned Li Shiming's defeat.

It was obvious that without Wang Tong, the stage would have belonged to Li Shiming. As a twenty years old fledgling, he had already made a great achievement by becoming one with the sword. However, even the most advanced sword technique was not enough to overcome Wang Tong.

A seventeen years old no-account defeating an heir of the great houses, such was the legend that Wang Tong had created.

No one knew the technique Wang Tong had used to overcome Li Shiming. After the match, some Ivantian media interviewed their Prince Patroclus, the wielder of the Deva Lance. Even the Ivantians, who were so proud of the Deva Lance, wondered if Wang Tong's golden lance was its match. So arrogant were the Ivantians that only a display of total dominance could shake their pride.

The interviewer's question was simple and to the point, ”How would the Deva Lance deal with the Li Shiming's ability.”

Patroclus's answer, ”I don't know.”

From a technical perspective, being the one with the sword was the apex of sword skills. It was more of an intuition than a trained skill, and its damage potential was boundless.

Some interviewer asked his opinion about Wang Tong's counter strike, and Patroclus answered with the same words but with more decisiveness, ”I don't know.” Patroclus didn't even understand what Wang Tong had done, much less give it a name.

Although Patroclus's answer was disappointing, people couldn't help noticing the anticipating smirk on his face.

Inside Zhang Jin's studio, the heir of House Zhang was carefully examining each frame, trying to catch a glimpse of Wang Tong's power. However, the more time she spent on reviewing the tape, the more suspicious it seemed.

”Patroclus, look! What was going on here?” Zhang Jin shouted out at Patroclus.

Patroclus closed in and examined the footage; Zhang Jin's brow furrowed after seeing that Patroclus was not surprised by what he had seen.

”Look here, watch. Wang Tong's attack started after Li Shiming had already been struck. Don't you think someone was helping Wang Tong from behind the scene?” Zhang Jin pointed at the screen. Then she noticed something else: Wang Tong's attack angle lined up perfectly with the blow that Li Shiming had received.

”Well, maybe it was Wang Tong. I don't see anyone behind him anyways.” Zhang Jin continued, ”Li Shiming also dealt Wang Tong a blow.”

The more Zhang Jin tried to explain the situation, the muddier it felt.

”Jin, why bother? It's very obvious. Li Shiming had received a blow before Wang Tong had started the attack—Reversed Causality.” Suddenly, Patroclus's eyes lit up with fire.

”Reversed Causality...” Zhang Jin chewed on the words as the gravity of the revelation setting in.

”Gosh! Doesn't that mean he is invincible?”
