By then, the Battle Wolf had already relocated its base to avoid Zerg detection. Although moving the camp would temporarily cut back the soldier's training time and living quality, things started to improve significantly as soon as they settled down at the new location.
Guan Dongyang's display of strength had fanned the soldiers' enthusiasm for training. Comparing to their leader, their powers were too weak. But thanks to the Divine Burst technique, many soldiers' combat ability had improved significantly after a few weeks of industrious training.
After having experienced the series of events, Battle Wolf was no longer Guan Dongyang's one person show when it came down to fighting. With greater power at their disposal, the soldiers felt more comfortable in sharing the burden of war and fighting like a team.
Battle Wolf could not always rely on mastery tricks, since their successes were very circumstantial. To become a strong unit, they had to improve the overall strength of all soldiers.
Guan Dongyang spent his days inside his room while recuperating. The soldiers suspected that he might remain in such a state for a while since the respite had given him the opportunity to spend more time with Lie Xuan alone.
Despite the soldiers' enthusiasm, the reality hit them hard every time they attended Wang Tong's training sessions. Wang Tong had taught them that the key to success was perseverance. So, the soldiers dug in for a long struggle.
Other than the Divine Burst and Flame Cut, Wang Tong didn't teach the METAL warriors any more new techniques, fearing that more subjects would spread the soldiers' attention too thin. For most of the soldiers, Wang Tong only expected them to focus on strengthening their foundation and know the basics of the two techniques. That, Wang Tong wagered, should be enough for them to deal with most of the enemies they would face in the future.
Wang Tong's notorious training method was brutal. Not only did it include fierce competition, but each match would not end until one of the soldiers fell to the ground.
The Instant Cast method alone continued to be many Mastery warriors' roadblock in their cultivation. Despite the gruesome training, only a handful of soldiers had passed the test. However, Wang Tong didn't lose his patience; he knew that the Instant Cast was crucial in protecting the casters' life while they were on the battlefield. So, he carried on the training and waited patiently for even the least talented to grasp the technique.
Meanwhile, the more talented casters, such as Ye Zi, had been experimenting with blending the fire and wind elements. She and other members of the focus groups would be the backbone of Battle Wolf in the future, and therefore, their cultivation was far ahead of the rest of the warriors.
Of late, they had been trying group hybrid mastery, but all their attempts had failed.
”Kom!”
The explosion announced another failed attempt of the focus group. The crowd outside the training room watched anxiously as Ye Zi and her comrades hurried out of the door. They wanted to help the focus group, but they couldn't due to their limited abilities. They only hoped that the next explosion would not be so intense as to cause any real harm to the focus group.
”Stop gawking!” Ye Zi shouted at the onlookers. Then, she turned to Hamir. ”Hamir, try it again. I think you have almost gotten it!”
”OK!”
A dozen casters rushed back into the tattered training room to try out their moves again.
The soldiers outside of the training room looked at each other with shame and regret. However intense their training was, at least it wasn't as dangerous as that of the focus group.
”Tan Bu, can you team up with me today instead of Duo Lun?” Ross asked. Tan Bu's power had grown rapidly, and he had quickly become one of the most powerful METAL warriors in Battle Wolf.
”Yes, Lieutenant.” Tan Bu stopped sparring with Duo Lun.
