Chapter 467: Do I Know You? (2/2)

Ye Zi nodded in agreement. The resistance forces were too scattered to pose any real threat to the Zergs without joining forces. The lacking centralized authority meant each faction had to fight their own war instead of fighting side by side. Ironically, the different bands of militias were more united when Zergs occupied the territory, and as soon as the Zerg influence was pushed out, the coalition would quickly fall apart.

Despite the chaotic situation on Mars, rumors had it that it was still much better than on the Moon and the Earth.

Although Ross was a stubborn person, as soon as he finished listening to Ye Zi's reasoning, he agreed with Guan Dongyang's decision very quickly.

”Look there, furface. That is our boss Guan Dongyang! He is the second strongest mastery cultivator, after Michaux.”

”Ye Zi, I have heard we have gained a new member, eh?” Guan Dongyang asked. As the pack leader, not only was it his responsibility to greet the new addition, but he also needed to make sure that the new member was not a spy. Five years of bloodshed had taught him many costly but valuable lessons.

”Hey, Furface! Boss is asking for you!”

Seeing that Guan Dongyang was approaching him and Wang Tong, Duo Lun hurried to stand up and saluted.

” Duo Lun, is this our new brother?”

Guan Dongyang approached Wang Tong and extended a welcoming hand to him. Suddenly, Wang Tong was taken over by a rush of memories as he hesitated.

Lun Duo nudged Wang Tong's arm and urged, ”Furface, what are you doing?”

Wang Tong wrenched his mind out from reverie and shook Guan Dongyang's hand.

”Boss, this furface is a genius. He fixed all of our broken suits!” Duo Lun said with a cheery voice. He was kind enough to put in a good word for Wang Tong, so that the latter could give Boss a good first impression.

Guan Dongyang studied the face in front of him. The smooth features suggested that the new member was still young, but the flickering lights in his eyes told Guan Dongyang that he had seen and gone through much more than most people at his age. Guan Dongyang furrowed his brows: the face underneath that thick and unruly beard was eerily familiar.

”Boss, the Thunder Fire and Rock Buster have sent their representatives.” A messenger rushed to Guan Dongyang and hurried an announcement.

Guan Dongyang paused for a second and then continued, ”Welcome aboard, brother ...furface.”

During that brief exchange of words, Guan Dongyang had already probed this 'furface's' soul energy, and was relieved to find out that everything was normal. As a level eighteen mastery warrior, Guan Dongyang could detect not only the inner strength of any individual, but also their intentions.

Duo Lun smiled broadly after hearing Guan Dongyang's verbal approval of Wang Tong's enlistment.

Ross walked to Wang Tong and patted heavily on his shoulder. ”Furface, we need to spar again. Balls! Can't believe you made me lost face in front of Ye Zi! Haha! Watch out! I will make you pay back!” After throwing a few banters, Ross followed Guan Dongyang out of the training ground. They had visitors; something was not quite right about the sudden visit of the other factions.

”Furface, what do you specialize at, METAL or Mastery?” Lun Duo asked.

”Neither. Both of them are just so-so.” Wang Tong said and rubbed his nose.

”That's not good! You need to specialize at one. What do you think about mastery? I have been learning the basics lately. You know, what they said about it was true! It's really helpful in cultivation, I can feel it!” Duo Lun said with a smug look on his face. Although he was a METAL fighter, Guan Dongyang had ordered all METAL fighters to learn at least the very basic techniques of mastery, which had proven to be very helpful.

”Come, follow me! I will show you what I have learned” Duo Lun grabbed Wang Tong's arm and dragged him to an empty ground.

What Duo Lun had learned was two sets of moves; the first set altered the gravity around the Zergs to hinder their movement, and the second was a direct soul energy attack for the Hybrid Zergs.

Although it was innovative, Wang Tong figured that these tricks would not be enough to guarantee the safety of the METAL fighters.
