The grand master's face suddenly became serious, ”Whatever I am about to tell you, keep it between you and me.”
Ma Dutian nodded. There was no need to explain the significance of what the grand master was about to reveal.
Inside the meeting room, Ma Dutian was driven deeper and deeper into terror as Old Fart explained the series of events that led to this point, After a while, he finally gathered himself and heaved a sigh. ”So, it is like this, and there is no other way?”
”No. We can only play by ear. If the human race were wiped out from existence, we could only accept it as our fate.”
”We can only hope for the best. Wang Tong is growing fast...but not fast enough.”
”Don't bring up that dimwit again. I had almost given up on him, and that was why I arranged for him to go to Norton. But, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise after all.”
”I have a plan that might be able to alleviate some of the damage.”
”Do tell!”
...
After Ma Dutian had explained his plan, the grand master's eyes lit up with hope, ”That sounds like a plan to me!”
”However, there is still a key piece missing in the technology.”
”Haha! If it all came down to Wang Tong and the Hall of Valhalla, I wager that the Blade Warrior has already intervened.”
”I hope so too.”
The crowd gathered outside Wang Tong's room every day, but thanks to his four ”disciples,” none of the fans were able to enter the room. Wang Tong's visitors ranged from ordinary citizens to renowned politicians and even royalties.
As Princess Heidi nodded at Zhang Buyu, the young Templar blushed and stepped aside to make way for the Kaedeian princess.
Ever since the beginning of the tournament, Heidi had believed that Wang Tong was the chosen one. However, her pragmatic mind insisted on playing the devil's advocate until the Ivantian Prince's startling announcement.
”Brother Wang, sorry for visiting you without notice,” Heidi said courteously and bowed slightly.
”Please help yourself to a seat and take your TIME.” Ma Xiaoru plastered a smile on her face and emphasized the last word with a stern glare at Wang Tong, who was still slouching on his bed.
”Thank you, Miss Ma.”
”What brings you here today? I have already told everyone that I am not related to the Blade Warrior at all. I don't even know if he is still alive. I just...know nothing.” Wang Tong hurried to finish his sentence.
A giggle escaped Heidi's mouth; Wang Tong did not quite fit the character of the heir of the Blade Warrior.
”Brother Wang, I come here to ask you for a favor. We didn't come to the tournament for the title of the champion. Instead, we are here to seek the savior that was promised by the prophecy. I want you to come with me to Mars after the tournament is over. Your visit is of utter importance to the survival of our race.” Heidi pleaded.
The mere mentioning of ”savior” scared Wang Tong. There was no war nor genocide, so what was there to save, and HOW?
Li Feng had practically left nothing for Wang Tong except for the tactics of the Blade. Wang Tong found it hard pressed to think that he, or anyone, could save the world by himself.
”Um... I will probably need to stay in the hospital for a while after the final match, and I will need to go to the hall of Valhalla. I'm not sure when...”
