To outsiders, it was a very ordinary sentence.

Yet, it made Tonyka's anger surge in an instant.

Flames seemed to burst from his eyes.

"Little Jennie Turtle"—this was a nickname Tonyka acquired in school after one of his girlfriends cheated on him, an episode that became known throughout the entire school, leading to this mocking moniker for Tonyka.

One could say that the words "Little Jennie Turtle" lived in Tonyka's heart as a shadowy presence.

It was, even more so, a taboo.

Now, Wang Ye had uttered these four words and even called Tonyka by that name—how could it not enrage Tonyka?

For a moment, Tonyka did not even ponder how Wang Ye came to know about "Little Jennie Turtle." After a roar, he charged directly toward Wang Ye.

"You're courting death!"

Tonyka extended both hands forward, and ten metallic claws emerged from the seams of his wrists, shining with a dazzling cold light.

They were similar to Wolverine's claws.

In fact, Tonyka had indeed taken inspiration from Wolverine and had someone custom-make this weapon for him.

The silver metallic claws traced a silver arc in mid-air, slashing straight towards Wang Ye's head with incredible speed.

A Double S-Class Versatilist, Tonyka was well-balanced and formidable in speed, attack power, and endurance.

To the ordinary bystanders, the moment Tonyka made his move, they could not even catch his figure, only an afterimage rushing towards Wang Ye.

Even the netizens in the live broadcast couldn't make out the scene clearly.

Only by recording that moment and playing it back at one-tenth speed could they discern the trajectory of Tonyka's attack toward Wang Ye.

This caused the ordinary people present to become suddenly anxious within an instant, fearing that something would happen to Wang Ye in the next moments.

Wang Ye waved his hand; there was no weapon in it. The onlookers only saw him lightly swing his hand and then retreat backward.

Ordinary people, as well as those with lesser strength, were all puzzled.

What was Wang Ye doing?

Why, when Tonyka attacked, did Wang Ye only casually wave his hand and then retreat?

However.

As Wang Ye took half a step back, Tonyka's metal claws emitted a series of "ding ding dang dang" metallic clangs, with sparks flying off the silver claws. Shockingly, this forced Tonyka to stagger back several steps.

Silver needles.

On the helicopter, Long Qingtian and Xu Heng exchanged glances, never expecting Wang Ye to use silver needles during his clash with Tonyka.

Wang Ye liked to use silver needles in combat; this was something both Long Qingtian and Xu Heng were aware of.

After all, this was easy enough to investigate—all it took was a little research.

And since Long Qingtian and Xu Heng were considering Wang Ye as their prospective successor, they certainly needed to look into his past.

Otherwise, they wouldn't feel at ease.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Wang Ye.

But what was at stake was the future of an entire nation.

Dragon Country, such a vast nation with a population of over a billion—should any minor issue arise, it was highly possible that something might go wrong in the times to come.

But what they hadn't expected was that Wang Ye would use silver needles while fighting Tonyka.

Especially against Tonyka's silver-metal claws!

After all, the hardness of the silver-metal claws, compared to that of the silver needles, was akin to heaven and earth.

The silver needles themselves were not very sturdy.

Otherwise, why would new nurses need to practice diligently with silver needles at the beginning of their training?

One careless move, and the silver needle could easily bend.

However, it was these silver needles of lesser hardness that Wang Ye used to great effect.

He actually caused Tonyka to stagger back several steps!

Long Qingtian and Xu Heng exchanged a look, understanding better than anyone what it meant for Wang Ye to have forced Tonyka back with mere silver needles.

It meant that Wang Ye's mastery of power had reached a level of near-perfection.

Long Qingtian sent a mental message to Xu Heng:

"Now, don't you feel less worried? Wang Ye might just defeat Tonyka next."

"You know as well as I do that it's uncertain," Xu Heng replied through telepathy.

Long Qingtian sighed. This old fellow cared too much for Wang Ye.

Although Wang Ye's displayed strength had already surprised them,

Xu Heng probably wouldn't let go of his worry until he witnessed Wang Ye defeat Tonyka with his own eyes.

The netizens in the live stream chat were also dumbfounded.

"What just happened? Why do I feel like Wang Ye didn't use any particular item, yet he managed to push Tonyka back several steps?"

"Right, it's truly miraculous. Could this be the legendary qigong? Just powerful 'qi' can force someone back?"

"Damn, watching a live stream gives me the feeling of watching a movie. I think after the resurgence of True Qi, all future action scenes will need real Martial Warriors, or else they might not satisfy the viewers' demands."

"But the key question is, I'm still confused. What exactly did Wang Ye do just now?"

"Reporters, there are reporters on the scene. Do they know?"

The reporters, who were flabbergasted and saw these comments in the live stream, were somewhat stunned and shook their heads before saying, "I have no idea either."

Although the Dragon Country reporter was indeed in Dragon Country, the key issue was that, in her eyes, both Tonyka and Wang Ye had turned into a blur of afterimages in an instant.

She couldn't see clearly what had happened at all.

It was only now.

That the silver needles Wang Ye had used just now fell to the ground.

Some of the onlookers spotted the silver needles Wang Ye had dropped.

Although these onlookers couldn't discern what exactly had happened during Wang Ye's fight with Tonyka, the key issue was that they were observant.

Being observant meant that they were the fastest to notice something amiss.
