In the five years, Wang Tong didn't just improve his combat prowess, but also his ability to think strategically. Li Feng had to learn that ability as well, although his situation was much better than that of the former. Li Feng had used the influence as the Blade Warrior and become friends with all the leaders of the five houses. Unlike his illustrative predecessor, Wang Tong not only had to deal with the enemy of the human world, but also enemies within. Even his real enemy, Patroclus, was much more difficult to deal with than that of Li Feng: the Zergs.
Without proper preparation, Wang Tong would find taking any step difficult while the enemies on many fronts tried dismantling his plan. However, he was ready after the five years of learning. His skills in statecraft were evident in his dealings with Thunder Fire and the other factions on Mars, big and small.
