Chapter 121 - 119: Goodbye, Louis
For the next two days, Tong Ling seethed with anger over Lu Hong’s words, still unable to understand why he, who was considered unbeatable on the wastelands and also restricted to Second Transition Level 4, couldn’t land a single move before others.
Obviously, he was being looked down upon!
During these two days, Tong Ling constantly thought about sneaking out of the residence to join the defense battle of the Magic Dynasty. Unfortunately, Tong Shuai knew his son all too well and had long since laid a trap throughout the manor. No matter how hard Tong Ling tried, he couldn’t step a foot outside their property.
"What are you up to?" called Lu Hong, poking his head through the window: "Digging a tunnel, huh?"
"None of your business!" Tong Ling huffed, continuing to strike the hard ground with his shovel.
Because Tong Ling feared his father’s discovery, he dared not use Demonic Qi, which made it impossible for him to dig through the foundation laid with silver steel.
Watching Tong Ling work so strenuously, Lu Hong burst into laughter: "Stop digging. The forces of the Red Nation are approaching the city outskirts. Tong Shuai sent me to tell you to gather troops and get ready to move out."
"So soon?" Tong Ling was startled. It wasn’t a short distance from the Red Nation to Tong City; even if he traveled day and night, it would take at least a week.
"What did you expect? The grand army can’t slowly march here. The battle at the Magic Dynasty will be over by then. The two races will definitely communicate and use the teleportation arrays," Lu Hong thought to himself that Tong Ling seemed to have gotten a lot stupider compared to when they first met. Where was that ruthless cunning from their first encounter?
"Oh," Tong Ling dropped his shovel, clearly unenthused: "Well then, let’s go meetup with them."
