Chapter 414: Seven Days (2/2)

”That's it.”

”What about saving the world? Or.. or... destroying a planet... Or...or..secret coup de grace?” Karl asked.

”Of course not! I don't even know if Li Feng is still alive. Do you think I would still be in the hospital if I knew any secret coup de grace?”

By then, Wang Tong's friends had gathered enough information to tell that Wang Tong had come across the power of the Blade Warrior by accident. And that, everyone realized, would make him just about half as qualified as the real heir of the Blade Warrior. In other words, Wang Tong's achievements were mostly self-made.

”Haha! The real heir or not, the news is going to make the S club even more popular.” Zhou Sisi announced as she beamed from side to side. She knew there was something special about Wang Tong, so the news wasn't entirely uncalled for.

As Wang Tong cast a larger shadow on the world, people's perception of his power seemed to have grown in proportion. It made people wonder that if the power of the great houses were really as ”great” as they perceived through the shadowy veil of fame.

The announcement had lit up the enthusiasm of Martians and Earthlings. In some way, the Martians were more connected with the Blade Warrior than anyone else, as the legendary warrior had spent most of his life fighting Zergs on Mars. To that end, most Martians supported Wang Tong wholeheartedly.

Lie Jian watched the news with a helpless smile, then asked Michaux, ”Did you know of this all the while?”

Michaux smiled back and said, ”I don't care about names and titles. But yes, I had my doubts.”

”Well, lucky you! You have found a model to follow. Didn't the Blade Warrior ascend to godhood as a mortal?” Lie Jian jested.

Michaux stood up and looked out of the window into the bustling world of living colors and noises. ”There will be an end to materialistic development, but human's ambition is boundless. To find the divine path is the only way for eternal peace. Wang Tong made me see the light at the end of the tunnel. You too can learn a great deal from him… Join me.”

”Dream on! I can reach the Einherjar level sooner than later. Plus, I had just passed the test of the Phoenix. I am not worried about hitting a brick wall anytime soon. ” Despite his defeat, Lie Jian was very proud of his advancement in cultivation, and rightfully so.

”You might have been right three weeks ago. But now, we have to follow Wang Tong's footsteps. It's not a power he inherited from the Blade Warrior… It was the secret formula to achieve immortality, of which, we are also part of the ingredients. Haven't you heard of the Super-Einherjar?”

”What nonsense!”

”You don't have to believe me, but it is our Master's own words.”

”Really? Hmm... That explains it! I was wondering why Patroclus cared so much about that earthling boy. Anyways, all for the better. I was worried that I would lose the goal in my life after I have achieved the Einherjar level.”

Michaux shook his head, ”I don't think Patroclus needs Wang Tong to become a Super Einherjar. The first Super Einherjar in history was Rilangalos, so he must have written something down in the Tactics of the Deva King.”

”I HATE that Ivantian dip-sh*t! Luckily, he is not that into political power.” Lie Jian grunted.

Michaux smiled and said, ”Are we talking about the same Patroclus? Heir of Rilangalos who wanted to rule the world?”

”You mean...he was pretending his disinterest?” Lie Jian gasped.

”No. But being someone that powerful, he ought to get bored very easily. Don't worry, you will always have my full support.” As the young master of the Divine Master Sect, helping House Lie was Michaux's irrefutable responsibility.
