Chapter 496: What Makes Us Human Is Trust

Hamir and the other Mastery casters didn't give up either. After each failure, they would swallow down the pain and start anew. Guan Dongyang looked at Hamir with distraught and guilt. He and Hamir went all the way back to the time in Mastery Sect. Hamir was one of his sect brothers who had escaped with him from the Zergs' death clutch. Ever since Guan Dongyang formed the Battle Wolf, Hamir had always been his right-hand man, and was in charge of logistics and supplying provisions for the band.

Guan Dongyang sneaked a peek at Wang Tong, but the latter's stoic and stone cold face deterred him from pleading for his sect brother. He heaved a sigh of resignation, as the sight of poor Hamir suffering made his heart ache.

”Remember, pain is good for you. Try to understand the pain and feel the energy in it. That is what makes the connection between your soul energy and the natural force.” Wang Tong commanded.

Ye Zi had wanted to speak up against the cruelty, but considering that they didn't have many other options other than doing what Wang Tong said, she decided to keep her silence for now.

Wang Tog didn't pay any attention to the disgruntled look on the soldiers' faces. He scanned the room callously like a cold-hearted slave-driver.

If it were five years ago, no one would have even thought of trying such a risky method. However, under Guan Dongyang's encouragement, the soldiers mustered their strength and decided to press forward.

Although no one had gone deranged so far, the pain was unbearable.

Hamir bit down on his lips as sweat ran down his cheeks. Wang Tong walked to him and then patted on his shoulder. Hamir suddenly let out a saddening wail and fell to the ground.

The rest of the mastery warriors paused their practice and walked to Hamir to make sure he was alright.

Guan Dongyang shouted in a commanding voice, ”Step back!”

Wang Tong nodded at Guan Dongyang, and the latter heaved a sigh of relief. Hamir had finally made it.

As Wang Tong helped Hamir to his feet, despite his pale face, he looked at Wang Tong with gratitude.

After an entire afternoon of pain and suffering, only Hamir was able to pass the test.

When Wang Tong thought that it was enough for the day, he waved to dismiss the soldiers and then left the training room without a word.

He knew that he had been an a*shole today. The soldiers might be able to endure one day of hardship and inhumane training, but would they be willing to withstand the same thing until they passed the test?

As soon as Wang Tong stepped out of the training room, he heard someone catching up with him.

”Wang Tong, you can't treat the soldiers like that. You are not the one doing those exercises, so you won't understand how painful it was! As a medic, I question your methods!” Ye Zi announced in a scathing tone. ”I will also advise captain to cancel this ridiculous training.”

Wang Tong held Ye Zi's angry gaze for a moment and then asked, ”How do you know that I don't understand how it feels?” Wang Tong then turned his heels and walked off without even sparing her a glance.

Ye Zi had much more to vent to Wang Tong, but she felt the words evaporate in her mouth at Wang Tong's question.

Wang Tong didn't take a rest. Instead, he went back to the mechanic shop and started repairing the METAL suits.

Regardless of how hard Wang Tong pushed the soldiers to their limit, in the end, it was up to the individuals to decide how much they wanted to commit to the training.

METAL repairing could usually soothe Wang Tong's mind. However, he found it hard to suppress the complicated emotions inside him. He dropped the METAL suit and leaned against the wall as he was absorbed in reflection.

He never wished to be so cruel, but what other choices did he have?

Pain?

They had not experienced real pain yet.

He rubbed his furry chin and realized that he had turned twenty two this year.

At this point, the shop's gate cracked open, and Duo Lun and Tan Bu walked in. Wang Tong wrenched his attention out of his thoughts and plastered a smile on his face. ”Is it time for dinner?”

When Wang Tong turned to face the two visitors, he realized that the entire focus group had trailed behind them. Hamir stepped forward and then said, ”Captain, starting today, you can train us with whichever method you like. We are not going to complain.”
