The earlier practice session turned into a battle against each other, and it was evenly matched, or at least that was how it appeared on the surface.

Back in the day, Galen’s mastery of the warhammer was much higher than David’s, but this kind of teaching practice made it inappropriate for him to use any lethal moves. At the same time, David’s response was almost flawless, so it would be tough to beat David in a short time unless he tried to suppress him forcefully.

After three minutes of fighting, the admiration in Galen’s eyes intensified, but then, he also remembered the original purpose of the practice. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Subsequently, the warhammer in his hand suddenly hit David’s hand at twice the original speed.

David felt a sudden numbness in his hand. Although he tried to grab the warhammer in his hand, the strike contained an unabating force that made it impossible for him to even resist. The warhammer flew out of his hand.

Galen casually tossed the warhammer, which then struck the warhammer flying out of David’s hand. As the two hammers collided in the air, they stuck together and fell silently to the ground.

This time, David was shocked. What kind of control did he have to be able to make the warhammer seem as light as a feather?

“Not bad, David, your learning ability is very strong. Keep practicing in the future and you will become an outstanding armorer!” Galen praised, doing his best not to compliment David too much.

It was not that his learning abilities were strong, but rather, they were extremely incredible.

“Uncle Galen, I’ll try my best!” David answered with a nod.

He would not be conceited or arrogant because he knew that although his Mental Energy had reached 3.0, his learning speed was indeed impressive. However, if he relied on that alone, he would be far from reaching the level he was at today.

The reason he was able to do so was all because he had fused the corresponding Knowledge Orbs.

If Galen were to teach him to use some other weapons at this juncture, such as spears and the like, he would not be able to do it at all.

Galen was pleased to see David’s attitude. Geniuses were rare, but David’s non-arrogant attitude was rarer. That would allow David to go further in the future.

In a basement, four mercenaries of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps were sitting on the floor. They had been staying in that basement for a few days now. Although they wanted to leave, the recent defenses put up by the forces of Pelan City made them afraid to even go out.

There would be defensive drones flying in the air to patrol, every now and then, indicating that Planet Rocky had reinforced the lockdown.

“How about we contact the stowaways and spend some more credit points to leave?” Ed suggested.

“The best thing to do now is to stay out of contact with the outside world. If we look for the stowaways, they might just sell us out!” Fessier disagreed, standing by the side.

“However, we cannot go on like that. Who knows when the lockdown will be over!?!” Ed said helplessly.

“What do you think, Clark?” Captain Feroman asked Clark, who was remaining silent at the side.

“Captain, I don’t think that’s a good idea. We should leave immediately!” Clark answered in a deep voice.

His words made the faces of the other few mercenaries grow sullen. Although Clark had very few words, he had a natural, heightened sense of danger. That was the reason everyone could escape the danger this time.

No one would disregard Clark’s words, including Captain Feroman.

“Get ready, take your equipment with you, and let’s change locations immediately,” Feroman said while waving his hands.

Just as everyone was packing up, Feroman suddenly received a message on his identity bracelet.

That made him extremely curious as well. Not many people knew how to contact him through his identity bracelet. Who would contact him at this time?

He switched on the identity bracelet and looked at the message he had received, after which his expression changed dramatically.

“Captain, what’s wrong?” Ed asked when he saw Captain Feroman’s expression.

“The Sky Wolf Battleship parked in space is destroyed together with all the mercenaries on board!” Captain Feroman said while gritting his teeth.

“What?” Ed and Fessier shrieked in shock when they suddenly stood up.
