Chapter 435: Ugly METAL
Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Members of the Marshall Hall had been waiting anxiously for the return of the legend. Would Einherjar Wannabe show up as he had promised?

Despite the technical difficulty of broadcasting a fight in the deep space, the media didn't encounter many roadblocks, as neither of the fighters opposed to streaming their fight. Watching a live stream of a real fight was a much more visceral experience than watching a virtual session.

On the screen, Lee Moshan hovered in the space, a solid METAL suit covering his body. His expression belonged to an Einherjar, and it reflected the dominating force inside him. A mere glance at the overbearing countenance would deter any temptation to challenge him.

All cameras were operated remotely via drones, since standing anywhere near the combat zone indeed meant suicide. Due to the technical limitations, interference and white noise was inevitable during the heat of the battle.

Although Lee Moshan never opposed the media's presence, he would not compromise the fight for pixel quality. To Lee Moshan, this was not a publicity stunt. Instead, he wished to use the battle to force himself to make another breakthrough in his cultivation. Since he was relatively new among the rank of the Einherjars, he had less dead weight to worry about, so he could fight whoever he wanted to. Plus, the mysterious fighter's ambiguous flirting with his goddess made the fight an overdue punishment.

Based on his performance in the virtual world, it was apparent that Einherjar Wannabe had already reached the level of Einherjar. However, whether his performance in the virtual world could translate equally to that in the real world was yet to be determined. The combat between Einherjars was much more sophisticated than that of lower level fighters, as many seemingly minor factors would spiral out of control to become the determining ones.

In general, there were three stages in the Einherjar's power progression, and the soul energy was also a critical element while gauging the combat ability of an Einherjar.

Patroclus lolled on a large sofa and watched the broadcast of the battle on a screen. Outside of the two combatants, Patroclus would benefit the most from this fight, as he had the capacity to understand every move of the two fighters and learn from their mistakes or successes.

Zhang Jin sat quietly beside Patroclus. She knew that although Patroclus appeared relaxed, he needed her company after his defeat more so than ever. All geniuses, however smart they were, dreaded loneliness, and the best way to distract Patroclus from such forlorn sentiment was a friendly conversation.

"Is that the METAL of Thunder God? Incredible! "Zhang Jin exclaimed, trying to strike up a short conversation. Zhang Jin's excitement was shared with millions of viewers as they marveled at the Einherjar level METAL suit.

Every set of Einherjar METAL was a work of art, crafted with unmatched skills. It took the time and resources that were equivalent to fifteen level five METAL suits to make just one piece of Einherjar METAL. It was not only expensive, but also a perfect combination of aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.

So far, there were only a few known set pieces, and they belonged to Li Zhedao, Andres, Lee Moshan, and House Lie. There could be other sets scattered around the world, but no one had found any yet.

The Thunder God METAL tightly hugged Lee Moshan's buffed body, and the helmet was crowned with a fist-sized energy crystal. The usage of energy crystal on the METAL suit was reserved for only high tier suits. However, even on a level five or six METAL suit, the size of the crystal was no larger than a grain of sand. It was usually embedded in critical parts of the suit, such as the knees and neck, as local reinforcement measures. Such a large chunk of energy stone was a rare sight to behold.

Without the Einherjar METAL, Lee Moshan looked just like a normal person, but with the METAL, he immediately transformed into a dominating warrior who commanded legions of forces. Such an imposing manner had won him the hearts of many followers.

Li Shiming watched the screen quietly. He was very close to becoming an Einherjar, and once he made the breakthrough, the outlook of his life would improve drastically. However, he was running out of time. Patroclus was already ahead of him, so he needed to catch up. The sense of inferiority had set Li Shiming's fighting will ablaze, and forced him to double down on his training. Despite the urgency, Li Shiming also reminded himself not to let anxiety get the better of him. As they said, 'slow and steady wins the race.'

On Mars, Lie Jian was watching the screen alone without the company of Michaux, who had locked himself up in his tower. Ever since the tournament, Lie Jian seemed to have lost his old passion for lust. Otherwise, he would have a girl sitting on his lap right now.

Too many things had happened during the tournament, and even the Martian brute had learned to be modest.

Although he had passed the test of the Phoenix, his opponents had made even greater leaps in cultivation. So, in relative terms, his position didn't change at all, if not having been deteriorated.

He was faced with the same roadblock as Li Shiming: Einherjar. Lie Jian was convinced that as long as he could enter the level of Einherjar, Patroclus could be defeated with ease.

Watching Lee Moshan's shiny Einherjar METAL, Lie Jian's eyes were filled with the blaze of desire.

On earth, Wang Tong's friends in a half circle while watching the TV.

Karl asked curiously, "How much did he pay for the METAL suit?"

An awkward silence fell into the room. Zhou Sisi finally broke the silence and refuted, "It's not always about money!"

"It's priceless."

"No kidding! It's Einherjar METAL. Only the government can afford it... Wait a minute, where did he get it from?" Hu Yangxuan finally registered that something was amiss.

Money was just one side of the problem. Every Einherjar METAL was not only made out of the most advanced technology, but also the rarest materials in the universe, most of which were outright banned from public trading. So, how did Einherjar Wannabe get his hands on a set of Einherjar suit?

There could only be three possible providers for the suit. If it were as old as the confederation, it could only come from House Ma. The origin of the Einherjar METAL suits could be traced back due to its distinct style, and perhaps, the provider of the suit could shed some light on the mystery surrounding the warrior.

"Is he gonna show up this time?" Everyone waited anxiously.

Lee Moshan about-turned and looked up. In the sky, a white dot, no larger than a speck of light, was approaching the battlefield. Einherjar Wannabe had arrived!

Everyone in front of TV pressed their eyes as close to the screen as possible, trying to catch a glimpse of the warrior's face.

After a while, people noticed that the METAL suit had covered the warrior's entire body from head to toe, and it was ugly as hell.

Compared to Lee Moshan's shiny armor, it lacked sophistication and technical finesse. The only worth-mentioning feature of the suit was its complete coverage of the wearer's body.

"Is this a joke? He is gonna have his a*s handed to him!" Karl exclaimed in disbelief.

Although all the earthlings were cheering for Einherjar Wannabe, some of them couldn't help but feel ashamed of such an abysmal set of armor.

Despite the ugliness, Einherjar Wannabe's METAL boasted an energy stone set haphazardly on the full hamlet. However, its size was only a fraction of Lee Moshan's

"What a clown! If he worked for me, I would at least give him a better set of a suit!" Lie Jian lamented.
