Chapter 172: New routine (1/2)

From that day onwards the whole military was in turmoil again. Members of the Sam's battalion are challenging people left and right there are hundreds of duels going on everyday and in the first two days, the members of the Sam's battalion completely lost.

Because, they are not supposed to use their ultimate and critical moves, they are only tied down with the most basic of the movements and that is making it very hard to fight.

But from the third day, the scenes started to change. The first ones to gain the wins were the Dragon Hawk tribesmen.

Since, they were taught how to attack without hand signs and spells, they caught with the situation very quick and started raking up the wins.

From fifth day, the rest of the people also started getting a hang of it.

Why this much enthusiasm?

Because the soldiers saw what is being offered in the exchange point.

With their ten credits which they initially have, they can buy five cultivation aiding pills which will increase their spiritual energy capacity a bit.

They can even buy a medium grade rank 1 weapon. But nobody bought them, because when they saw the remaining rewards that are up, they are completely stunned and filled with desire to possess them.

With their position as normal soldiers they would never be able to touch or even see a rank 3 weapon in close proximity, but now there are rank 3 weapons, armours, inscribed formation discs, defensive arrays.

There are all kinds of things and many of them can be obtained with hundred points each.

The costliest item is of five hundred credits where Sam himself will tailor make a weapon for them.

When the rewards are this good, they are pumped up and every credit seemed like a treasure.

The duels within their battalion also increased, but nobody dared go overboard on their teammates. Because, they knew that no matter how many duels they fight within themselves they won't be able to gain more credits.

The best way right now, is to gain the credits by winning the duels with the other regiment soldiers, which is going on full swing.

After all, that is only valid for a limited time and the duels with their teammates can be put on hold for after fifteen days.

Other than that, Watt took a hundred members to the forest every other day. In this trip, each soldier will be put up against a beast of same or higher level and they have to kill the beast with the basic techniques.

These battles are even more bloody than the duels with the soldiers.

As the beast at the same stage clearly has an advantage over a typical cultivator and it fights with its life on line, they experienced something they never felt.

That is the blood lust.

Every time, they went on activities like this, they always hunt the beasts in teams to be safe. But now, they can only fight them with bare hands and the beast's reckless fighting style which is pushing them to the edge of life and death is making them feel the lust for blood.

Every time a battle was finished and the adrenaline rush was over, they have a myriad of feelings like them being exhausted, frightened and at the last excited. The beast is a trophy for themselves and they can pass it to the cooking staff and have delectable meals until the meat was over.

So, when eating the beast, they killed with their hands in a life and death struggle started giving them a feeling of superiority. Which they can never get enough of.

This resulted in the lust for their battle and blood increase. And many people started going to forest every night and hunt like this and they are even hunting multiple beasts at a time. For the first time, hunting solo brought them excitement and pride.

Not using their ultimate moves only made that feeling grow. They are having a new found confidence.

After the first week, the second week became a nightmare to the soldiers of the remaining regiments.

Sam's battalion is full of soldiers who are creating chaos in the army.

The training changed them into different people within forty days.

The spiritual energy control made them sustain longer in the battle which itself is a plus point and the fights with the beasts and the other soldiers without any ultimate moves, forced them to utilise their basic techniques in a new way.

Due to the drill training, they also have some unity and they started sharing their battle experience with their fellow company members to improve together.

Now, this made the second week a nightmare to the soldiers of other regiments because they are being pummelled by these guys as if they are absolute weaklings.

These soldiers are whom they are familiar with, just after a little more than a month, they felt that they didn't see them in a long time. They practically felt like different people.

After ten days are over and five days before the deadline, the first person who has completed hundred duel wins emerged and that person is Marian.

Yes, the first person is from Dragon Hawk tribe. This drastic improvement struck some heavy blow to the remaining soldiers.

The memory of Marian's reckless and inefficient fighting style was still fresh in their minds and they cannot associate the new Marian who has most stamina of all people in the whole battalion.

He became an expert at dragging fights and exhausting opponent's energy before making his move. In the first three days, he lost every duel he was in but after that he just kept on winning and now, he topped the list.
