Chapter 444: It's A TRAP!

”I wish it was that easy. Not everyone can be lucky like me, you know.” Ma Xiaoru said, trying to coax Wang Tong into submission.

Ma Xiaoru's honey-coated words worked. Wang Tong heaved a sigh of resignation and then said, ”Fine, fine. I will go somewhere else. See you later.”

”Alright.”

Being forced out of Ma Xiaoru's room, Wang Tong wandered around on the warship by himself. The Ark was on its way to Mars to receive the last batch of crew members into its rank. In addition, the Ark would replenish its supplies while it was processing the crew admissions. Although the Ark was a self-sustained city, it would not hurt to have a few extra supplies laying around.

Wang Tong's friends had all gone to the shopping district, but he never liked shopping. So, he lost interest in the streets very quickly and decided to head back to the training room.

One might think that only someone who hated himself, such as Wang Tong, would come to the training room on the weekend. But he found out that he was not alone; Patroclus was also there. They looked at each other for a brief second and smiled, but didn't exchange a word. However, the desire to spar danced in both of their eyes. Wang Tong also found Apache and Cao Yi in the training room, and he was not surprised at all. They were both assigned to the space METAL unit, the most awesome job of all, and even got to wear a space METAL once during their training.

Space METAL combat had a very high requirement, and even Apache and Cao Yi felt it was difficult to catch up.

”Wang Tong, don't run away. We need to spar together,” Apache announced.

”No problem! I am so bored. A fight should lighten up my mood a little.” Wang Tong cracked a smile.

”Perfect, see you later then.”

”Boss, there're some young Templars here as well. Should we ask them to join us? They had been of great help lately.” Cao Yi said.

The Templars had been assigned to the same squad as Apache and Cao Yi. Knowing their connection with the young master, the Templars had offered quite a lot of help to the two.

Wang Tong nodded. He had been avoiding the Templars because he still couldn't get used to their addressing him as the ”Young Master”. It gave him the jitters every time he heard it. Nevertheless, he conceded that he couldn't bury his head in the sand forever. The world is not going to change because he was not looking. After being detached from the recent developments for a while, Wang Tong had come to terms with the reality. If he couldn't deny his connection with the Blade Warrior, he might as well embrace it.

As Wang Tong entered the gravity simulation zone, he was greeted by the sweaty Templars. Respect rose inside him on seeing how disciplined the Templars were.

As soon as the four Templars saw Wang Tong at the threshold, they immediately stopped their training and bowed to Wang Tong.

”Greetings, Young Master.”

The name made Wang Tong cringe again, but he held back the urge of turning his back and plastered a smile on his face, ”Would you like to join me for some sparring?”

The four Templars looked at each other in surprise. The grand master had ordered them to befriend Wang Tong, so they had been very frustrated by Wang Tong's constant cold shoulder, until now.

”That...That is awesome, dude!” Ye Kai beamed from side to side.

”Shush!” Zhang Buyu glared at Ye Kai for not addressing Wang Tong appropriately.

”That's fine, that's fine. Haha… I have encountered some problems in my cultivation, and hope that you guys could help me.” Wang Tong announced.

”We are at your disposal, young master.” Zhang Buyu nodded and said.

Wang Tong felt the jitters again, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and cranked up the gravity intensity.

He had learned that not only did his body heal faster under greater gravity, but his mind also worked better.

Wang Tong usually kept the gravity setting at moderate, but today, he felt the urge to challenge himself. So, he cranked it up to as high as possible.

As Wang Tong entered deeper into the gravity simulation room, he met another familiar face in the 15g zone: Li Shiming.
