Chapter 473: Level Up

The battlefield was cleared in just a few minutes, and the Zerg corpses were piled into mountains.
This was one of the most significant victories human resistance had achieved within the Maersa district.
The soldiers quickly left the battlefield; they had neither the manpower nor the ammunition to afford another confrontation with the Zerg reinforcements.
When the warriors returned to the camp, they were greeted by waves of cheers and shouts. However, except for a few exchanges of courtesy, the warriors didn't speak anymore as weariness had driven them to plunge into their beds. No one had realized how tired they were while they were on the battlefield. But, as soon as they reached safety, being overspent and overexerted, sleepiness came over them like a dull hammer.
There were supposed to be a celebration, but since everyone had quickly fallen asleep, the celebration was scheduled for a later time.
Duo Lun had been feeling tired as soon as the battle was over, but while on his way home, as he pondered over his new tactics and how effective they were. Thinking about that, a newfound exhilaration came over him. As soon as Duo Lun reached the camp, he passed his bedroom and went straight to Wang Tong.
He eventually found Wang Tong around a corner in the storage room. ”Wang Tong, you could never imagine what a victory it was!”
Wang Tong dropped the piece of METAL in his hand and smiled, ”Oh? How were your new tactics?”
”Too freaking awesome! Without it, I might have already been dead out there. What is the name of the tactics anyways? It's too good to be true!”
”It doesn't have a name. Why don't you show me the tactics again and let me see if you have improved from last time.” Wang Tong was also curious as to the effect of the double GN circulation.
”No name? Did you come up with the Tactics yourself?” Duo Lun asked.
”Haha… Yes, and that is why I will need to make sure that it doesn't have any side effects.”
”Balls! So, you took me as a lab rat? Haha! Well, I was going to thank you for the tactics, but I think I will save my goodwill for later. By the way, if you have any other experiments, make sure you do them on me. Haha!” Duo Lun laughed lightheartedly. He was not convinced that Wang Tong had come up with the tactics all by himself, since he was aware of the difficulty involved in creating just normal tactics, much less such a unique one that utilized two GN circulations.
Wang Tong sensed Duo Lun 's doubt, but he didn't rise to the defense. He had created these tactics based on years of experience and his tactics, hoping to spread it across the human world. He reckoned that humanity's survival relied on unity, and to turn the situation around, he needed to improve the average ability of all human fighters.
Looking back at humans' history, Zergs were not the only challenge that the race had faced, but it was the greatest one. As an enlightened demigod, Li Feng was able to see thing clearer. Not only was he hopeful that humans could come out as the victor in this struggle, but the torment and bloodshed would also teach humans a few valuable lessons, and thus breathe a new life into the stagnate race. However, Li Feng's optimism was based on the presumption that humans would finally learn to stand up for themselves, instead of relying on the blessing of the gods.
As the heir of the Blade Warrior, Wang Tong was aware of his predecessor's vision, and was determined to carry out his will.
The thought of spreading the sixteen node version of the Tactics of the Blade had occurred to Wang Tong more than once. But he was forced to drop the idea every time because the major factions already had their tactics. Therefore, Wang Tong decided to create new tactics that were compatible with almost all other tactics in the world. Duo Lun was the first tester; Wang Tong had chosen him because he was his close friend around the camp, and therefore, it was easier for him to monitor his progression.
Duo Lun finished another round of the Tactics under Wang Tong's examining eyes. Wang Tong was pleased to see that the double GN circulation functioning well, but he conceded that he needed to continue monitoring Duo Lun's condition, particularity when he was in an intense battle. Only when Duo Lun's sea of consciousness was stable under reduced circumstances would Wang Tong acknowledge the success of the new tactics.
”I feel like the tactics are also helping with my recovery. I don't feel as tired as I thought I would.” After a round of GN circulation, Lun Dun felt his body was rejuvenated, and his soul energy was recharged to full capacity.
Wang Tong nodded and then said, ”Good job! All signs are normal. You are pretty talented, you know?”
”Furface, are you a crazy evil genius?”
”Crazy evil genius?”
”Bunch of lunatics. They capture humans and lock them up in their dungeons in the name of science. They experiment all kinds of outrageous tactics on those poor victims. No one ever survives their experiments.” Duo Lun plastered on a knotted face, but his voice had betrayed the lightheartedness. He knew Wang Tong was not one of them.
