Chapter 486: First Spar In Five Years (2/2)

”Lie Xuan, what is going on with you two anyway? If you really like him, then be with him. If not, then stop keeping him in that awkward friendzone. You are not a kid anymore.” Lie Wushuang scolded Lie Xuan like an older brother.

”Should I call you mom? I don't know… He is a nice guy, but we lack chemistry between us. He is not... manly enough, except for today at the tournament. I hope he can keep at it.” Lie Xuan said. She had given the matter a great deal of thought, and had decided that however nice Guan Dongyang was, he could not give her the thrill of living on the edge she always craved for. In a fit of frustration, the furry face of the mechanic flashed for a fleeting second in her mind.

Duo Lun and Tan Bu had kept things to themselves. Despite being the closest friends of Wang Tong at Battle Wolf, they didn't speak a word about the mechanic.

”What is the deal with Duo Lun?”

”He is heartbroken after seeing his old lover. Practicing tactics keeps his mind cool.” Tan Bu said with a smile.

”Furface, I have learned a valuable lesson today thanks to you. It's like having a second life. From now on, my life is yours.” Duo Lun was deeply touched by Wang Tong's help, and his victory had given him more than just joy—it was a lesson for him to fight back against evil. Although Duo Lun appeared to be an amiable and easy going person, he had a very sensitive soul. Wang Tong's help had saved not only his life, but also something he held closer to his heart than even life: dignity.

Tan Bu patted Duo Lun's shoulder and said, ”Furface, you will be our boss from now on. We will follow you wherever you go!”

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, ”I like your resolution. But, don't complain later that I didn't warn you about the hardships.”

Duo Lun and Tan Duo looked at each other and smiled knowingly. ”We are ready!”

That night at the camp, Duo Lun and Tan Bu regretted ever agreeing to be subject to such inhumane training. When the two had overspent their energy and laid on the ground, Wang Tong walked to them and told them that it was just a taste of what was going to come.

After he finished training with Duo Lun and Tan Bu, Wang Tong returned home. But before long, he looked out of the window and saw the full moon hanging brightly in the night sky, and knew that the moment had arrived. Wang Tong disappeared into thin air and reappeared outside the camp in a clearing, where a dark showdown had been waiting for him.

”You really can't wait… Hehe.”

”Hehe, it had been five years! Let's start!” The shadow spoke up; it was Guan Dongyang.

”Show me what you have learned over the five years!” Wang Tong announced.

Guan Dongyang knew that he didn't need to hold back power, so he unleashed all of his soul energy at once.

”Infinite Fire Bolt!”

Guan Dongyang sent a flurry of bolts at Wang Tong, lined up in a straight line. Wang Tong didn't evade; instead, he waved the left hand, and the bolts fell to the ground as if they had hit an invisible wall.

Guan Dongyang was shocked by how easily Wang Tong had blocked his attack. Five years ago when he was only a level six warrior, Wang Tong had displayed unmatched intuition during the battle. Five years later, he was back and stronger, with the same acute sense of battle awareness. Guan Dongyang already saw no hope of winning the fight.

However, the stronger the Wang Tong was, the more Guan Dongyang wanted to continue the sparring.

”Red Lotus!”

Mastery was not only about absorbing the natural forces but to channel them as well; one would need a lot of skill in this department. In a blink, the flaming fire bolts on the ground sprang back to life and floated in the air. They twisted and weaved into each other, forming a fiery red glob.
