Patroclus had only failed once in his life, and it was at the hands of Wang Tong. Therefore, Zhang Jin knew that nothing would pique the Ivantian's interest like Wang Tong.

”Do tell.”

”He was dispatched to the maintenance crew, a d*ck move on Kaost's part, and he has fished repairing over fifty sets of METAL in just one day. His efficiency was practically equivalent to that of the best Ivantian technician I have ever seen.”

Patroclus didn't seem to be surprised by the news. He cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Jin and asked, ”Do you think that my target is Wang Tong?”

Zhang Jin was taken by surprise, so she asked, ”Is it not?”

”Hehe, he is no match for me. I had allowed him to defeat me during our last encounter.” Patroclus said, his voice lacking any emotion.

”You allowed him?” Zhang Jin was shocked by what she heard.

”Don't let him fool you. He is no match against an Einherjar. I just wanted to know what it was like to be the loser for once.” Patroclus still didn't look Zhang Jin right in the eyes. He licked his lips, making them glisten against the pale moonlight.

”But I saw it, that final lance strike was—”

”…was incredible, yes. But, he is not powerful enough to control it.” Patroclus cut her shot and said with a cold sneer on his face.

”But...why did you let him...” Zhang Jin was at a loss. She that found the Patroclus in front of her was no longer the candid Ivantian Prince that she used to know.

”The outcome doesn't matter to me. I live for myself, not for anyone else. If it was otherwise, what would be the point of living? ”

Zhang Jin uttered quietly, ”We also live by rules. Patroclus…”

”Jin, you are my best friend, I will never hurt you. But, I can't promise the same for others. Please, let me go.” Patroclus touched Zhang Jin's face and smiled. There was a sense of crude finality in his actions and words.

After Patroclus left the room, Zhang Jin found it hard to gather herself. She was deeply disturbed by Patroclus' recent strange behavior.

Could he really be the culprit that Samantha was looking for? No, it was impossible!

The next day, the trainee review committee had made some significant changes to the scoreboard: Wang Tong had risen from rank 55 to the top ten list.

However, this big change didn't catch many people's attention, as everyone was focused on Li Shiming and his team. Li Shiming not only had a silver tongue, but was also an expert in attracting the public's attention.

Wang Tong didn't mind the change on the scoreboard either. To him, his recent breakthrough in his understanding of the soul essence was much more profound than the uptick in ranking.

Unlocking the full power of the soul essence would grant Wang Tong immorality and invincibility, but he knew that he was still too weak for such power by a long chalk. The first hurdle he had to pass before he could claim the real power of soul essence was to become an Einherjar.

How did Patroclus do it with such ease while it was so difficult for him?

It suddenly occurred to Wang Tong that his final lance attack shouldn't have ended the tournament.

Something was amiss, but Wang Tong couldn't put the finger on it.
