Chapter 831 (2/2)

All in all, masters of mid-ranked level or even higher levels were generally rarely seen in the army. Among these hundred people, there were close to 20 who were mid-ranked, while the remaining ones were merely at the lower level. If nothing else, just based on their own martial ability, they could probably defeat an army of ten thousand men that were not under the command of any master. And they would be as suave as like how historical stories had depicted them to be, charging from place to place and weaving through military arrays without losing a single man.

“Where did you find such a group of people to train?” Sui Xiong asked out of curiosity after recovering from a moment of astonishment.

Leonard shook his head and said, “I don’t have the ability to find so many masters to train. In fact, before I started the training, out of this hundred people, there were barely 30 who were in the ranks. The remaining ones were not even in the ranks.”

“What?!” Sui Xiong exclaimed out of great surprise. “You mean to say, in as short as half a year’s time of special training, among all these people, those who were not in the ranks are now in the ranks, and many of those who were in the ranks are even promoted to mid-ranked?! Your training efficiency is seriously no joke!”

“I was very surprised too,” Leonard said, “For half a year, I practically watched them grow and get stronger bit by bit. I have every intention of continuing to train them, but then I realized that their pace of improvement is slowing down, and eventually it will approach the point of a standstill.”

Sui Xiong nodded. If this group of people could still continue to grow stronger, then it was certainly worth continuing to train them. If there was a stable channel for training mid-ranked masters or even high-ranked masters, then even without a strong army, the Republic of Northwest could still become the most powerful country in the world. There would be no other country better than it.

Unfortunately, this training method seemed to raise their level up by a notch. It was still a blemish in an apparently perfect thing.

“So, why not consider recruiting some at mid-rank level to train?” Sui Xiong asked. “If you could manage to train some to reach the high-ranked level, it will be much more valuable than training the national defense force.”

Leonard smiled and said, “I thought so too. But my ability to create clones is limited. As you know, though I’m a little more powerfully than the evil gods. I have not, after all, truly combined my priesthoods, so abilities like creating clones and such are all very limited.”

“Then, let me try the training too,” Sui Xiong said. “Though my noumenon is still busy with a major event, creating two to three clones of weaker Divine Power shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Therefore, the matter was settled as such.

Keeping his identity hidden, Sui Xiong borrowed the official channel of the Republic of Northwest to issue a recruitment order.

According to the recruitment order, a Legendary Master of high seniority wished to find a group of mid-ranked young adults for special training that could enhance their capabilities. The stint in this training would take about half a year to a year.

If the candidate managed to pass the special training and move up the ranks, he would need to serve the Republic of Northwest for 30 years. If he merely improved in capability but did not move up the ranks, he only needed to serve 10 years. If he did not even improve in capability, then by the time the special training came to an end, the elder (Sui Xiong) was willing to give away a large sum of money—the equivalent of earnings of a relatively dangerous adventure and a practical magic kit that was tailor-made, as compensation for the hard work put in during this period of time.
