(Thanks for Monday's recommendation!)
"Ru Er, I can't just sit there, I need to try my tactics."
Wang Tong couldn't stand it anymore. He knew that Patroclus's strength was undeniable, and he would only be able to find an opening if he was at his peak condition. If he wasn't fully recovered, he wouldn't be able to unleash his full strength, and it would be a pity if the battle ended abruptly.
Furthermore, Wang Tong didn't want to lose at this stage.
"Kiddo, you better stay put. You shouldn't move around recklessly in your current condition." Einherjar Wannabe said as he floated out of the arena, followed by Charcoal.
"Master, your body is in a bad condition right now, you need to rest." Charcoal said seriously.
"Wu, do you really think I can just sit there? I will regret it for the rest of my life if I miss this battle." Wang Tong said.
Ma Xiaoru was able to understand Wang Tong's feelings. On one side, it was the successor of the Blade Warrior, and on the other side, it was the successor of Rilangalos. It was a spectacular battle in the Sky Coliseum. Even though Wang Tong was still injured, he still wanted to fight.
A true warrior wouldn't back down for any reason.
This battle was not a battle for the Blade Warrior, but a battle for himself. Patroclus was a truly exciting opponent.
"Sigh, kiddo, even if you are at your peak condition, you still won't be able to defeat him. His talent is unparalleled, if I had trained you three years ago, you would have been able to fight him today, but now … you have no chance."
Einherjar Wannabe's face darkened, he knew it was useless to encourage Wang Tong.
"Wu, I think Wang Tong has a chance no matter what." Ma Xiaoru said.
"Kiddo, don't be so naive. This is not a sparring match, it's a war." Einherjar Wannabe said calmly.
"War?"
"Based on Patroclus's style, there is a high chance that he will try to kill Wang Tong. He needs a bloody battle, and a wounded Wang Tong will only make him angry. Wang Tong, she doesn't understand, but you should."
"Wu, since when did you become so long-winded? Fight when it's time."
"It's fine as long as you're mentally prepared. However, in your current state, I don't recommend you to throw away your life." Einherjar Wannabe was still trying to persuade Wang Tong to give up, but he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. After all, as a warrior himself, he knew that there were some things that couldn't be backed off.
Ma Xiaoru didn't expect Patroclus to be this serious. Based on Patroclus's fighting style, it didn't seem like he would go for the kill. However, as a warrior herself, she had a feeling that Patroclus was going through all this just for the final battle with Wang Tong.
During the battle between Patroclus and Lie Jian, he took advantage of Lie Jian's advancement to adjust his own state. Once the sword is out of its sheath, it can't be put back. "
In other words, everything that this prodigy had done so far was for this battle, and one could imagine how high his expectations were. If a person like him was this persistent, he would not allow the quality of his strength to deteriorate. If Wang Tong did not have enough power, he would not be able to vent his desire to fight, and he would definitely kill Wang Tong.
However, Wang Tong couldn't avoid this battle.
"Don't frown. Since we don't have a choice, let's hurry up. I'm a lucky man, and I'm confident that I'll be able to defeat the Blade Warrior's chosen one." Wang Tong laughed. However, the others didn't feel the same way.
Einherjar Wannabe walked away leisurely. If he were in Wang Tong's shoes, he would have done the same thing. However, he couldn't do anything to help Wang Tong in this battle. After all, this was a battle worthy of praise, and it was a battle that every fighter yearned for, and nothing else was allowed.
Ma Xiaoru was worried about Wang Tong, but she couldn't do anything about it. Charcoal had no choice but to obey Wang Tong's orders.
Ma Xiaoru knew Wang Tong's personality very well, and as Wang Tong's woman, all she could do was to support him. Therefore, Ma Xiaoru didn't try to stop Wang Tong.
The match between Wang Tong and Patroclus was definitely the most anticipated match of the year. The preparations for this match were in full swing, and the Sky Arena was going to be the craziest match in years.
However, since the stage was Patroclus's, the suspense of the final had been long gone. Apparently, the Earthlings and Martians were not as interested as the Ivantians. The Earthlings were satisfied with Patroclus's performance. If Li Shiming had made it to the final, they might have been looking forward to it. However, Wang Tong was a dark horse, and he had made it this far. Therefore, the Earthlings decided to treat it as a show of appreciation, regardless of the result.
As for the Martians, some of them had already begun to leave the arena. Lie Jian's defeat and Michaux's elimination had greatly reduced the interest of the Martians. Those who did not plan to leave were simply there to witness the result. The result had already been decided.
Even so, the match had still attracted a lot of attention. Since the start of the tournament, everything had been prepared for this last match, except for Wang Tong's current condition.
All the major media outlets and experts were predicting the final match, but their statements were surprisingly consistent. There was no suspense. After all, Patroclus would win, and it would even be a very easy victory.
Wang Tong had a slim chance of winning if he was at his peak. However, he had created miracles after miracles, so he had at least a forty percent chance of winning. Wang Tong had just recovered from his injuries, and every warrior knew that his Yuan Qi had yet to fully recover. In a battle like this, his Yuan Qi would definitely become his Achilles' heel if he were to engage in an intense battle.
On the other hand, Patroclus was still unfathomable, and he was still at full strength. He was a flawless opponent, but he was also a hopeless opponent.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the organizing committee, a group of people was stunned.
"The match will be postponed for seven days?"
"That's impossible! Even Patroclus wouldn't be able to do this! Does he know how important this tournament is?"
The group of people objected one after another, while Zhang Jin quietly listened to these people arguing over there.
"Ms. Zhang, we understand that Patroclus is eager for a fierce battle, but we can't set a precedent like this. Not to mention that Wang Tong has already recovered from his injuries after leaving the Healing Tank, and he still has a day to rest. We have done our best by arranging the match in the afternoon."
"Yeah, why bother?"
Zhang Jin looked at the people who seemed to be on steroids, and she knew that they would never understand what Patroclus wanted.
They must have thought that it would be better if Wang Tong didn't recover, or else he would become an invincible legend.
To be honest, from a financial point of view, this match would involve a lot of people, but she knew that Patroclus wouldn't care about that.
She was just doing her part, and it would be best if the organizing committee could agree to it. However, it seemed like the officials were very satisfied with the current situation, and they did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. The Ivantians had already won the competition, and it would be best for them to stick to the script.
In their opinion, Patroclus was a new idol created by their platform. Even if a martial artist was as strong as a Martial God, in the eyes of some politicians, they were just pawns.
Neither Zhang Jin nor Patroclus could use their family's power for this kind of thing. Although the families were powerful, they were still bound by the rules, and no one could do anything.
Zhang Jin didn't say anything after seeing that the people didn't agree to it, and she just smiled at the annoying compliments that followed.
The King of Hell was easy to deal with, but the little demons were difficult to deal with. There was no way to reason with them.
She just wanted to help, but how could these people stop Patroclus? No one could stop Patroclus from doing what he wanted to do.
After Zhang Jin left, the people laughed.
"Mr. Secretary, these kids always like to do things that are naive. It seems like the kids of the Ivantians are not mature enough."
"Haha, that's why we are responsible for teaching them."
"You're right, but I don't think they will say anything about it."
"Haha, it's not just one family's business. The Ivantians belong to the Ivantians, not just one person. Besides, I'm afraid that even the Dower Family wouldn't agree to this."
"That's true. We are helping them to teach their kids, haha."
Everyone burst into laughter. No matter how strong his combat power was, he was still just a naive brat. He actually delayed such an important match so that his opponent could display her full strength. Only he could think of such a ridiculous and brainless idea.
Did this kid really think that he was the Son of God? Did he really think that the world revolved around him? Ever since the feudal system was abolished, such a situation would never happen again. There was once a man named Li Feng who was very close to becoming the Son of God, but he didn't want to. From now on, there would no longer be such a special situation. The Zergs were no longer a match for the humans, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
In fact, the three major federations were very clear about this. The Zergs could not be completely wiped out. If they did, where would they get the military funds and weapons?
The thoughts of the big shots were different from those of ordinary people.
Of course, the Zergs could appear and disappear mysteriously, and there was no way to track them down. However, they could not lower their strength just because of that. It could only be said that the Zergs were no longer a threat.
To them, this incident was just a small interlude. Some people liked to enjoy the admiration of others, while others liked to pull the strings from behind. The more powerful the person in front of them was, the more satisfied the person behind them would be.
"Bad news, Mr. Secretary! Bad news!" A staff member rushed in.
"What's the fuss?" Wakana said with dissatisfaction.
"Patroclus is holding a press conference. I heard that he has something important to say. I'm afraid …"
