Chapter 497: Martian Match Maker

Lie Xuan was surprised by the fact that Duo Lun and Tan Bu's improvement was greater than most other warriors, including herself.

The two young soldiers had always sparred diligently, and they gave their 100% attention and effort while doing so. Therefore, the two were able to reap full benefits of the training. On the contrary, soldiers who had done a half a*s job while training would have gained little to nothing.

As the two young soldiers increased the intensity of attacks, some onlookers cheered for them even though their technique and moves were very simple and unsophisticated, especially in the eyes of Lie Xuan.

Amidst the exchanges of hacks and slashes, Tan Bu suddenly started the Divine Burst ability while Duo Lun's blade hurled at him. Tan Bu's sudden increase in speed caught the latter off guard. Tan Bu rose to the opportunity and sneaked in a flurry of attacks at Duo Lun when the latter was trying to regain his balance. As a result, Duo Lun suddenly lost the edge he had gained earlier.

However, Tan Bu's attacks were not able to end the match as Duo Lun dug in to hold his ground. When the effect of the Divine Burst finally passed, Duo Lun retaliated immediately and started his Divine Burst ability. The increased speed and vigor in Duo Lun's attack quickly helped him regain his advantage and slowly push Tan Bu to a corner.

Ross looked at the two soldiers' performance as a feeling of shame crept into him. He had been too content with his ability, believing that no one in the focus group would have wielded the Divine Burst ability better than him. But, Duo Lun and Tan Bu had proven him wrong.

Feeling ashamed for himself, Ross, the former champion of the Battle Wolf, wanted to turn on his heels and run away. After some time, he conceded that running away wouldn't solve the problem, and the only solution for catching up with his former subordinates was to work harder.

”Stop!” Wang Tong announced.

The two young soldiers paused immediately after hearing the command. They had already gotten used to such high-intensity training, so they didn't even need to take a deep breath to gather themselves. It was evident that they had not only trained during the day, but also during their downtime.

”This is the practical use of the Divine Burst technique. I can't teach you when or how to use it during a combat situation. You will have to find that out yourself. Lie Xuan and Ross, please demonstrate what you have learned.” Wang Tong said.

”Captain, can you change the opponent for me?” Ross's face crumpled. He would rather fight Ye Zi than the sassy princess from House Lie.

”Why, Ross? Am I not a worthy opponent?” Lie Xuan rose to Ross' comment.

”Oh…no, no. Let's start then.”

Three of the soldiers laughed at Ross' reluctant expression; this fight was going to be entertaining.

”You, you three, come with me. ” Wang Tong said with a broad smile on his face.

The three soldiers who laughed at Ross lowered their head and followed him out of the room. Before Wang Tong walked out, he turned back and announced, ”Ah, mind your own business, no matter what you hear.”

The words sent a chill down the three soldier's spines.

Wang Tong then led the three soldiers into a separate room next door, and before long, wails and painful howls could be heard even across the brick wall.

”Ross, please!” Lie Xuan urged. She didn't bring any weapon with her.

Ross unsheathed his blade and reminded himself to be careful.

Duo Lun and Tan Bu didn't partner up this time. Instead, each of them found a new partner in order to share their knowledge. Wolves fought in packs, and therefore, sharing and teamwork were what made Battle Wolf a formidable war band.

As everyone sparred and practiced, the cry and shouts in the room next door kept going on.

After two hours, the clamor next door finally subsided. When the three soldiers filed into the training room, they were drenched in sweat. Wang Tong announced, ”These three will take a break for now, and the rest of you can keep going. Duo Lun, let me know when it's time for lunch.”

”Yes, Captain.”

Wang Tong turned around and sauntered off while whistling a happy tone.

As soon as he disappeared, the soldiers surrounded the three ”survivors” and asked them what had happened. ”Balls! You guys look like you have just gotten back from hell.”
