s.p.a.ce crystal," someone from Bernabeu sneered at the students from Ayrlarng.

Since it was a test, the students' actions were closely monitored by satellite surveillance cameras. After the desperate students from Bernabeu had been rescued, they had learned that w.a.n.g Tong had brought with him water and food which allowed the group from Ayrlarng to survive much longer. The thought of losing to Ayrlarng had made some of Bernabeu's students turn green and bitter.

"What's your problem?" Hu Yangxuan uttered a threat with an ugly grin.

"Hold your horses, both of you," Martyrus spoke out with a deep booming voice. The agitated students suddenly shriveled and backed away from each other.

In addition to Martyrus and Samantha, there were 19 students and a handful of workers inside the submarine. What had happened today was just a test, and Paradise Island was still many miles away. However, the two princ.i.p.als had learned a great deal about the students during this surprise test.

At first glance, w.a.n.g Tong had brought food and water and saved the day out of sheer luck; however, Martyrus knew that it had nothing to do with luck. Instead, w.a.n.g Tong had done so because he was always prepared and vigilant. To further observe w.a.n.g Tong, Martyrus ordered to leave him out there a bit longer.

So far, Martyrus could not find any fault in w.a.n.g Tong as he seemed to be the perfect student that he had been searching for ever since he had become a teacher.

He noticed that w.a.n.g Tong was not only a strong METAL fighter but also a natural leader. Like w.a.n.g Tong, Apache also had excellent combat and survival skills, but he was not good at motivating people and was not a good team player.

w.a.n.g Tong was born with the flare of a leader, but Martyrus knew that he had not yet seen the real potential of this young man and therefore, Martyrus had decided to uncover his real potential using the most effective method: despair.

Martyrus reckoned that friends had played a significant role in evoking w.a.n.g Tong's fighting spirit and boosting his morale; therefore, the old fox had separated w.a.n.g Tong with his friends, waiting for loneliness and despair to set in upon the young boy. Driven by curiosity, Martyrus decided to push w.a.n.g Tong to his limits.

The image of w.a.n.g Tong on the Tv screen quickly draw everyone's attention.

w.a.n.g Tong had then realized that his only option was to move forward. However, he also reckoned that he would need to find food and water first.

He still had the bento, so he had figured that finding food was less urgent than finding water. It seemed that the only way to find water was by hunting fish. However, while he was traveling back and forth, he didn't notice any fish around this area.

w.a.n.g Tong finally felt that his GN force started to become sluggish; therefore, he decided to stop for a while to practice a round of tactics to stabilize his GN force output.

In contrary to what Martyrus had calculated, w.a.n.g Tong didn't feel any negative emotions; instead, he was slightly excited by the challenge ahead. He remained confident that eventually, he would be able to find a way out.

After completing a few rounds of tactics, w.a.n.g Tong felt much better, and even the ruthless force of the sun seemed to be waning. Although he was still starving, his GN force had stabilized. He then charged up his body with soul power; as the soul power started to emanate out from his body, he allowed it to reach deep down into the ocean.

To his surprise, he felt a strong surge of power underneath the ocean, and it suddenly shot through w.a.n.g Tong's body. For a moment, w.a.n.g Tong felt that this energy had connected his sea of consciousness, and as he was going to "communicate" with this energy, their connection was suddenly lost.

w.a.n.g Tong had then realized that this energy was the soul energy of other marine creatures. Every kind of conscious creatures had its own soul power since the soul power was simply the energy from its consciousness. However, human's soul energy was the strongest among all.

Through the very weak connection of the soul energy, w.a.n.g Tong registered that this marine creature he had detected was descending into the depth. He heaved a sigh of disappointment. w.a.n.g Tong had wished to catch this creature, but now it had escaped.

"What's going on?" Samantha asked the worker who was manning the radar.

"It seems that there was a large marine creature that had just pa.s.sed by him."

The creature's escape had taken a toll on w.a.n.g Tong's patience. However, he calmed himself quickly, realizing that the situation was only going to get worse if he suddenly lost his marbles.

A half hour had pa.s.sed while everyone watched as w.a.n.g Tong rested in the water motionless. His audience had started to become more impatient than him.

Martyrus nodded in approval of w.a.n.g Tong's calmness. To be level-headed and make the right decision under even the worst circ.u.mstance was essential to a strong leader, and w.a.n.g Tong had done just that.

Quietly and slowly, w.a.n.g Tong dived down into the sea. In less than five minutes, he resurfaced again while holding a giant fish in both hands.

w.a.n.g Tong hacked the fish into pieces and sucked its blood. Despite the salty and fishy taste, the water in the fish's blood should be able to quench w.a.n.g Tong's thirst for now. w.a.n.g Tong then took out a kitchen knife and filleted the fish into slices of Sas.h.i.+mi.

"Umm… Better than Zerg meat!" w.a.n.g Tong mumbled as he ate, "d.a.m.n, I forgot to bring soy sauce!"

No one spoke in the submarine as they were trying to come to terms with what they just saw.

w.a.n.g Tong kept the remaining fish in the s.p.a.ce crystal to keep it fresh.

Martyrus smiled at Samantha knowingly and said, "That's enough, let's fish him out of there."

w.a.n.g Tong had successfully found out the way to survive. Therefore, the test had become meaningless. w.a.n.g Tong was the most amazing student Martyrus had discovered in his 30 years as a teacher.

"Who said that our Captain w.a.n.g Tong had a secret stash of water?" Carl bawled out at students from Bernabeu.

The student named s.h.i.+ Liang lowered his head and said quietly, "Sorry, my bad."
