Chapter 485: Transition

Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Nihlathak reckoned that if he continued the fight, he would definitively shoot himself in the feet. The young warrior in front of him had reached the so-called "legendary level" in the new ranking system, and therefore, fighting Nihlathak would be child's play for Wang Tong.

Thinking that, Nihlathak pulled back his soul energy and bowed to Wang Tong, "I concede defeat." He turned to his son and announced without any hesitation, "Let's go."

"Dad, he…"

Before Hawk could finish his words, his father gave him a knuckle sandwich and scolded him with scathing fire, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself, you useless fool?"

Nihlathak turned his heel and left the battleground without even looking back.

Five seconds after the beginning of the fight, the audiences were suddenly wrenched out of their anticipation, and their faces were ridden with disbelief. Some remembered rumors about many of Guan Dongyang's old friends being top warriors. Perhaps the self-proclaimed mechanic was one of Guan Dongyang's powerful friends in disguise.

Anger, shock, and denial reddened Marcos's face. He was only able to keep the first loot crate out of all the spoils he had planned to keep. He glanced at Guan Dongyang with shifty eyes, still feeling dazed. He hoped that all of this was just a bad dream.

Since even Nihlathak had conceded defeat quickly, Marcos found it hard to muster the courage to speak out for himself.

"Hehe… Hey Marcos, Mr. Nihlathak has conceded defeat. Are you going to help Battle Wolf load up their truck?" Aamir, captain of the Blizzard, stood up and shouted at Marcos with a smirk.

"Captain Marcos, the battle has finished. As the referee, I announce the Battle Wolf the victor, and therefore, the owner of the nine loot crates." Lie Wushuang announced coldly. He was surprised by the development as well.

Ye Zi covered her mouth to stifle a cry. A few seconds ago, she had been worried for Wang Tong's safety, and now, she could barely hold in her joy.

"By the Gods! Furface, you are bada*s!"

"Nihlathak must have diarrhea today… haha!"

"Or, Maybe the Hammer was too tired after too much hammering in bed last night! Haha!"

The soldiers of Battle Wolf laughed out loud and joked about Hammer's sudden defeat. Only Duo Lun and Tan Bu remained silent, as they realized how terrifying Wang Tong's power was.

Could he be a legendary level warrior?

Was that even possible for a young person like him?

Without his beard, he could barely pass for a twenty years old!

"Well done, Brother Dongyang! I will tag along next time you are on a mission. I promise you that the Blizzards are not two-faced, back-stabbing a*sholes like some others!"

"Hehe, you are always welcome to join us, Brother Aamir."

Despite the pain of losing everything, Marcos had to plaster on a benevolent smile and congratulate Guan Dongyang.

Soldiers of the Battle Wolf surrounded Wang Tong, asking him how he had done it. Wang Tong shrugged and concluded that his opponent had to be sick today.

Guan Dongyang didn't debunk Wang Tong's disguise; he would have a lot of catching up to do with this old friend in private. Calling Wang Tong a Legendary Level warrior was an understatement. He was Wang Tong, the savior of mankind.

Lie Xuan had never seen such a strange expression that had flashed across Guan Dongyang's face. What had just happened? How come Nihlathak had left the battlefield without landing even one blow? Was all of this just another ruse?

This tournament had been an eye opener for the resistance groups at Maersa District. Not only had they experienced a dramatic turn of events, but also a copious amount of treasures, including an extremely rare piece of super METAL. As the Battle Wolf carried the loot back to their truck, Marcos felt that his heart was bleeding blood.

On their way home, soldiers of the battle wolf were overtaken by a strange mixture of excitement and bewilderment. The bewilderment came from two particular instances. The first instance was when Duo Lun, a level eleven —previously level nine—no account defeated the son of the infamous Hammer. But, the second instance was even more perplexing, as a mechanic with no combat experience had defeated Hammer himself in a blink!

Nihlathak was a renowned fighter on Mars, and he could wipe out an entire camp of a smaller war-band. However, he conceded his defeat against a METAL mechanic. How was that possible?

Everyone knew that Guan Dongyang and Nihlathak had never met before. Otherwise, rumors about the two colluding with each other would have sprouted out before they even left Thunder Fire's camp.

Many people believed that Nihlathak's defeat was a ploy set by House Lie. They were convinced that House Lie had come to an agreement with Nihlathak behind Marcos' back, and therefore, effectively turning the tournament into a show for entertainment.

During such trying times, soldiers' allegiances changed more frequently than their underpants; anything was possible.

The six members of House Lie were all mired in deep thoughts. Knowing that Nihlathak's sudden retreat had nothing to do with House Lie, the development seemed even more unthinkable to them than others. Thanks to the Martians' typical sense of pride, most powerful fighters avoided contacting House Lie. They would rather be the toughest bada*s in their squalid middle of nowhere than becoming one of the many guard dogs of House Lie.

Despite the wide spectrum in the conjectures about what had happened, no one had thought that Wang Tong had overcome the Hammer with his might.

Guan Dongyang and Wang Tong sat in the same car. They had been talking in private for over a few hours, and not even Lie Xuan nor Ye Zi were allowed to interrupt them.

Inside the car, Guan Dongyang's face was red with excitement. He had been telling Wang Tong about the political movement on Mars and the status of the war. Although Guan Dongyang had many questions to ask Wang Tong, he decided to leave those for later after Wang Tong had gained a grasp on the most pressing issues.

Although Moye's injury had given the humans on Mars a brief reprieve, once he recovered, which he would sooner or later, then what?

After having tasted humiliation at the hands of a human, the dark lord would guarantee to double down on his malice and commit more heinous crimes to avenge himself.

"What is your plan, Wang Tong? I will follow your order; you can count on me!" Guan Dongyang pounded his chest and claimed.

"Hehe, why do you choose me over House Lie?"

"You mean Lie Jian? Well, he could pass for a leader, but he cares too much about his own family. Plus, now that you are back with us, he doesn't stand a chance!" Guan Dongyang shouted and then realized that he had raised voice unconsciously. Wang Tong's return not only helped him win the tournament, but also gave him hope for the salvation of the human race.

Wang Tong shook his head and said, "Nah, I don't want to be in charge of the Battle Wolf. That's your job."

Guan Dongyang pulled a taut face and refuted, "Since when have you become a coward? If it were not for you, we would have been already dead on that Ark! Managing the Battle Wolf is nothing to you. Don't look down on me. Am I not worthy of teaming up with you?" Guan Dongyang's voice was filled with candor and trust. He was a man of his words, and had never changed his course for anyone.

Seeing the determination in Guan Dongyang's eyes, Wang Tong stood up and shook his hands. "Very well, Dongyang! I promise you that I will get rid of Moye!"

"Attaboy! Haha!" Guan Dongyang's elation was beyond words, so he shook Wang Tong's hand heavily, not intending to let go. He knew that Wang Tong had left out a lot of his stories, but he didn't mind. To him, fighting alongside the world's savior was the most exciting and fulfilling thing he could think of.

When Wang Tong first landed on Mars, he thought it would be easy to eliminate all the dark ones. However, now he knew that he had been very naive. Guan Dongyang had convinced him that the only way to save the Mars was to join Battle Wolf and prepare for a long war by strengthening the martian soldiers.
