Chapter 421: Dual Wielding (2/2)
”Ice Dragon Tornado!” Wang Tong shouted as he added ice element GN force onto the burning fire GN force.
It was the first time that GN force of different attributes got mixed. It was only possible because of the new Mastery techniques.
Although he had a superior soul energy, Patroclus did not know how to deal with the new technique.
”KOM!”
The strike hit home, and Patroclus was blown into the air. Wang Tong suddenly launched himself into the air above him and bore down with the lance. All the while, a whirlwind of energy surrounded Wang Tong, blurring the outline of his figure.
”Kom!”
Patroclus took another hit from above and thudded to the ground face down, as if he suddenly remembered a date with the floor.
Wang Tong landed beside the fallen prince lightly.
The turn of events even caught Mr. Wannabe by surprise. Although Wang Tong had discussed with him the possibility of using two attributes at the same time, Mr. Wannabe didn't change his outlook on the match. The struggle and pain Wang Tong had endured while practicing the dual attributes had further confirmed Mr. Wannabe's speculation—it was so difficult that it might as well be impossible. Despite the immense pain Wang Tong had to endure, he had made it. After hours of practice, Wang Tong had learned to harmonize the two energies using his Soul Essence, and therefore, eased the pain by a considerable measure. Although there was much more he could do with the Soul Essence, Wang Tong's ability to harness the power of Soul Essence so far was very impressive.
So powerful was the combination of soul energy and Mastery that it had even brought down the invincible Patroclus.
As the dust settled, people watched as Patroclus stood in the middle of the crater, his shoulder half slumped. The blow had clearly taken the wind out of his sail.
Li Shiming's heart sank. He wondered how he would have felt if it were him.
”Patroclus is having some difficulty. The young Blade Warrior is indeed powerful!” Michaux Odin exclaimed. Although Patroclus was considered the perfect human, he was a human after all. On the other hand, Wang Tong's ability had surpassed human's capabilities. In other words, his power had become irrelevant to the strength of his soul energy.
”Get out of here! Is he for real? How am I going to fight him?” Lie Jian shouted in disbelief.
”There is nothing you can do about it,” Michaux said calmly.
”Sucks to be you, Patroclus...”
”No kidding! I have heard that Wang Tong didn't have his mind opened until he was sixteen. Who would have thought that he would improve so much in just two years! ”
”Sounds like the Blade Warrior would dominate the world for the rest of the centuries, just like the good old days.”
”Haven't you heard? The Templar's Court has already acknowledged Wang Tong's status. He is also engaged with Ma Xiaoru; he is not fighting by himself.”
”That's true, but he does not lack enemies either.”
”Touché, touché...”
By then, only the Martians could carry on the conversation regarding Wang Tong with such a nonchalant tone. Every Ivantian's heart was caught in their throat as they feared that the history would repeat itself. They had waited three hundred years after the defeat of their champion, Rilangalos, for the birth of another perfect Dower, but the promised glory was about to slip away because of Wang Tong.
Patroclus straightened himself; his wound was severe. As he channeled energy into the Deva Lance, the silver light flickered, threatening to distinguish.
Wang Tong didn't attack. Despite his opponent's apparent weakness, he registered that something was amiss. Patroclus's face was devoid of expression, but his eyes burned with anticipation.
