(Oh my god! Storm Army, hurry up! We're running out of tickets! Skeleton's skeleton is about to fall apart! Charge!
Li Zhedao waved his hand and said, "I know it's a bit reckless, but it's good to let Ma Dutian know that the House of Ma is a piece of cake without the House of Li. You should thank your sister. Ma Xiaoru has done a great job, and the House of Ma has agreed to let her return to Capth."
"So you're saying that Uncle Ma has agreed to my marriage with Ma Xiaoru?" Li Shiming asked calmly.
"You can say that. I won't force him to take a step back, so I'll leave it to you. That's why you need to ask your sister for help. She might be a little naughty, but she's never lost sight of the big picture."
"Yes, Father. I'll be heading to Norton soon, and I'll try my best to get this done."
Li Zhedao looked at his son and said, "You've done a good job. Do you know why the House of Li hasn't been as successful as our ancestors? What we lack is a grasp of reality. After so many years, our Li family has become an aristocratic family that is content with the status quo. You're very good, you've made up for my shortcomings back then. But you have to remember, this isn't just a formality. You have to find the power contained in reality! "
"Father, I understand. Those people are underestimating me if they're just trying to gain some fame!"
Li Zhedao nodded and waved his hand, and Li Shiming excused himself.
It seemed that he was only one step away from the great achievements of his ancestors, but in reality, the gap between them was like night and day. The Li family had no advantage over the other four aristocratic families. Li Feng had created the Li family as a commoner, but now, the Li family had lost control over the Ma family. Although Li Taozhe was an Einherjar, he had reduced the Li family's prestige to the lowest level.
Hopefully …
Because Lie Jian was involved in the incident, the three major alliances were in an uproar. The Kaedeians had also taken notice of the incident. The man who had created the Art of the Soaring Heaven had once again made a huge fuss, and it was only natural that the Kaedeians wanted to know more about it.
Lie Jian was faced with a difficult decision to make. This was an opportunity for him. If he did well, it would be a good publicity for the Lie family. If he did poorly, he would become a laughingstock. Of course, he could not afford to lose.
Lie Jian's nickname was "Thug". Of course, this nickname was given to him by an outsider. Although it was the Martians' style, to the people from Earth and the Ivantians, it was considered vulgar.
Lie Jian was not a simple-minded person. He had planned to cause some trouble for Li Shiming, but Li Shiming turned out to be more cowardly than he had expected. Li Shiming was the one who ignored Lie Jian, and that was Li Shiming's problem. Back on Earth, the media would naturally side with Li Shiming, but now, Einherjar Wannabe had taken the initiative to approach Lie Jian.
Ever since Lie Jian had lost to Li Shiming, he had been very upset. Although he had only lost by a little, he had allowed Li Shiming to be arrogant for a long time. Although Lie Jian hadn't been satisfied with Li Shiming's performance in the past year, he still wanted to get back at Li Shiming. However, he knew that Li Shiming and Einherjar Wannabe were not ordinary people, and he needed the right time and stage to defeat Li Shiming.
Perhaps, Einherjar Wannabe was the perfect opportunity.
After much consideration, Lie Kent accepted an interview with the media and responded to Einherjar Wannabe's challenge. Lie Kent told Einherjar Wannabe that as a Martian and a warrior, Lie Kent would face any kind of challenge courageously. Unlike some people who liked to hide in their shells, Lie Kent knew that Einherjar Wannabe had to be strong enough to defeat his opponent. Therefore, Lie Kent would gladly accept Einherjar Wannabe's challenge!
As long as Lie Jian didn't reject Einherjar Wannabe's challenge, Lie Jian would stand a chance. Soon, Lie Jian picked the person who would test Einherjar Wannabe's strength – Lie Wu Shuang.
Lie Wu Shuang was known as Lie Jian's number one fighter, and he was also one of Lie Jian's collateral siblings. Lie Wu Shuang was Lie Jian's cousin, and he was a cold-blooded guy who didn't like to smile. He was a fourth-year fighter from the Deity Master Academy, and he had already been promoted to the military.
It was Lie Jian's own decision to use Lie Wu Shuang to test Einherjar Wannabe's strength. If Einherjar Wannabe couldn't even defeat Lie Wu Shuang, then there was no need for Lie Jian to challenge Einherjar Wannabe. At the very least, Lie Jian would be able to protect Einherjar Wannabe from Li Shiming. Of course, Lie Jian had ordered Lie Wu Shuang to teach Einherjar Wannabe a lesson with a hundred and twenty percent degree of realism, and anyone who dared to challenge Lie Jian would have to pay the price.
However, if Einherjar Wannabe won the challenge, Lie Jian wouldn't mind testing Einherjar Wannabe's abilities.
Lie Kent continued to put pressure on Li Shiming in his response to the media. After all, Li Shiming was the heir of the House of Li and the Blade Warrior. Li Shiming, as the heir of the House of Li, should have been the first to stand up for Einherjar Wannabe. After all, Einherjar Wannabe was the best friend of the House of Li.
Lie Jian wasn't in a hurry, and he was going to take it one step at a time. If Einherjar Wannabe really did come this far, then he would kill Einherjar Wannabe and further pressure Li Shiming. However, if Li Shiming continued to act like a coward, then Lie Jian wouldn't mind. After all, Li Shiming's cowardice would only increase his reputation, and Li Shiming's influence would decrease.
The Martians had no idea what defense was, and they would attack whenever they chose a target.
Lie Jian's goal was to kill Li Shiming and take back what he had lost.
Lie Wushuang would definitely give his all. In the hierarchy of the House of Lie, Lie Jian was the leader of the younger generation, and everyone had to listen to him unless they were strong enough to defeat him. Lie Jian's current fame was not only because he was the descendant of the House of Lie.
Everyone was excited by the news. If Einherjar Wannabe was able to defeat Lie Wushuang, then it would mean that Einherjar Wannabe would be able to challenge Lie Jian. If Einherjar Wannabe was able to defeat Lie Jian, then things would get really interesting. If even the descendants of the Five Great Houses couldn't defeat Einherjar Wannabe, then who would Einherjar Wannabe be?
After all, he was only sixteen years old!
Wang Tong saw the news on the weekend, and he didn't really care about Lie Jian and Lie Wushuang. However, the only person who knew how to use Tactics of the Blaze was Hwo Quan and Lie Jian.
Wang Tong hoped that Lie Wushuang would be able to help him experience the Power of Frost.
What Wang Tong needed to do right now was to free up some time on the weekends. Actually, he had been hesitating about a decision. Apparently, the school's conscription order had met with a huge problem, and the students were obviously unwilling to face such a dangerous situation. Wang Tong was probably one of the few who knew about the situation on Norton, and to be honest, he didn't miss the Zergs at all. However, Ayrlarng needed someone to break the silence, and if someone took the lead, the others would follow suit.
Wang Tong didn't care about politics or anything else, and he knew that one day of combat training was equivalent to ten days of classes in school. After living in Norton for half a year and witnessing the cruelty of the Zergs, Wang Tong had a completely different attitude when he returned to school.
From the bottom of his heart, he approved of this plan. However, he had seen too much of it, and putting it into practice did not have much effect on him. However, there was a reward that was indeed very good. Those who performed well on the Norton Star would be given a selective reward upon graduation.
For Wang Tong, it was a big problem for him to join the Fleet, which had a very high requirement. Regardless of what he was going to do, at least he had to get into the Fleet first. After all, every soldier who served in the Fleet was different from ordinary soldiers.
Since Wang Tong had no background, he had to seize every opportunity he had. Of course, it would be great if General Li was willing to lend his brother a hand, but it was impossible for him to do so.
Wang Tong didn't care about the gimmick of being a savior, his priority was to survive.
Charcoal happily walked around the house and even helped Wang Tong with the cleaning, which made Wang Tong's life less monotonous.
"Mister, do you think I should go?"
Inside the house, Einherjar Wannabe was watching TV while Charcoal was cleaning the house. Apparently, Einherjar Wannabe had gotten used to his new life.
"Go if you want, as long as there's a TV," Einherjar Wannabe said casually.
Wang Tong knew that he couldn't count on Einherjar Wannabe anymore. In fact, the result was already out, and he would still go no matter what, as long as he could help Samantha. Somehow, Wang Tong felt like he owed Samantha a lot.
The next day, Wang Tong told everyone in the S Society that he would be going to Norton. Wang Tong's influence in Ayrlarng was no less than Samantha's, and he was the symbol of Ayrlarng's future, and the S Society was the direction that everyone wanted to follow.
Students weren't a rational group, they were passionate, but you had to give them a reason to be passionate.
And Wang Tong was the reason.
When Wang Tong decided to go to Norton, the rest of the students also started to think about it. Apache from Bernabeu had already decided to go, and he met all the requirements. However, Wang Tong's situation wasn't something that he could just go because he wanted to. After all, he was still a first-year student, and the military wanted him to be a good fighter, not a burden.
The unspoken rule was that the S-Ranked academies didn't discriminate between grades. Although it was dangerous to go to Norton, it was also a great opportunity for the capable students to make a name for themselves.
Furthermore, the biggest news was that Li Shiming had also decided to go to Norton, and he wasn't going to the fleet to inspect his future "subjects". Instead, he was going to go to one of the fiercest battlefields on Norton.
To be honest, it had been a long time since someone like Li Shiming appeared in the Five Great Houses.
Even though it was just a show, Li Shiming was willing to bet on it. The Zergs didn't know that he was the descendant of House Li, and if they recognized him, they would probably eat him alive.
Since Wang Tong's decision had spurred the S Society on, the reputation of the conscription plan had started to change among the students, and some of them started to think about it.
When someone took the lead, there would definitely be others who would follow suit.
