Chapter 1445 - 1150 This is a Personal Grudge_2

Of course, all this was just mental activity, something they would never voice aloud.

"Alright, I’m in," Long Yi said without hesitation, how could he possibly pass up such an opportunity?

"I’m going too," Elsa was even less hesitant.

"However, if you just go like this, there’s a good chance you’ll only be helping someone else increase their score," the Group Leader’s voice came from behind, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"No need for salutes, we’re not on the training ground. What I wanted to say is that I support your eagerness to strive forward, and at the same time, I acknowledge that you both possess extraordinary talents far beyond ordinary people. However, within the Empire’s several great Legions, there are more geniuses than just the two of you. If you really want to achieve good results, the enemies you need to overcome are likely much stronger than you imagine," the Group Leader said.

"Oh, what should we do?" Long Yi asked earnestly.

"There are still more than ten days before the competition begins. In these ten days, I will arrange for all comrades to take turns helping you improve, to get you quickly adapted to the regular army’s combat methods."

What’s referred to as taking turns to help means engaging in continuous battles, one after another, which will be the daily must-do for Long Yi and Elsa for the next ten plus days. On one hand, the Group Leader’s goal was to help them improve, but the larger purpose was to test whether these so-called geniuses were truly talented!

If initially he had some doubts, over these ten days, two warriors named Aisa and Henki had really impressed him to the utmost!

In the beginning, their performance was indeed a bit immature, especially when faced with the endless variety of combat skills from regular army soldiers, they too had brief moments of bewilderment. But they quickly adapted to this fighting style and responded confidently with their own style. And the styles of these two were completely opposite.

Aisa was the epitome of precision, having read through the regular army’s textbooks on her very first day with the squad, and afterwards, all her actions were completely by the book. What was most astounding was that in less than three days, she had completely mastered the content of the textbooks. Including some of the more complex techniques, they all came to her effortlessly.

Rigid.

But rigid to the point of near invulnerability.

This was the Group Leader’s evaluation of her.

The content of the textbooks was not at all flawed, but the majority was written under very idealized conditions. Normally, this requires the soldier to have exceptionally keen insight during battle to accurately predict the enemy’s next move, and the mind must also be incredibly accurate in selecting one’s next move based on one’s current action and the opponent’s next. Even the Group Leader himself couldn’t do it, but Aisa could.

It can be said that without an opponent as precise as Aisa, in the Group Leader’s judgment, it would be nearly impossible for her to find a match.

Then there was Henki.

Compared to Aisa, Henki was the other extreme. He never bothered himself with textbooks, he would discard them even if you gave him one, claiming he couldn’t understand them at all.

But he had a terrifying ability to learn—not through textbooks but through watching others. Any skill, as long as he saw it three times, he could learn it, no matter how complex the technique or what tricks it involved; once he saw it, he could learn it. And once he learned it, he could execute it perfectly, even better and more powerfully than the original performer—Crescent Slash was proof of that.

Since his combat skills all came from observation, his fighting style was rather mixed. It was hard to say he had any set routine, usually favoring bold, sweeping offense. However, what interested the Group Leader most was his Greatsword. It was evident that besides his unique fighting style, that peculiar metal Greatsword was indispensable. According to all who had sparred with him, this metal Greatsword was exceptionally strange; any energy sword that touched it would immediately destabilize. And when Energy Alloy armor was struck by that Greatsword, the Energy Alloy would also disintegrate. It could be speculated that this Greatsword was specifically designed to counter Energy Alloy, perhaps it was a new type of Energy Alloy.

A new type of Energy Alloy? Something seemed to click in the Group Leader’s mind. It was said that the La Sang Family was seeking a resurgence, could it be relying on this Henki and the sword he wielded? The Forgotten Clan’s Energy Alloy technology had not seen revolutionary change in a long, long time—could this alloy be the change?

"Anyway, as far as I’m concerned, the abilities of these two newcomers should not be underestimated," the Group Leader said at Group Leader Anzong’s family home.

"With such high praise from you, I believe these newcomers must indeed have the capabilities," Anzong replied.

"Actually, my appraisal might even be a bit conservative. What I initially wanted to say was, it’s been a long while since I’ve seen such outstanding newcomers. Of course, I’m only speaking of their combat skills—Henki, outside of battle, is really... a bit... dim-witted," the Group Leader said, choosing his words carefully. Many people were already aware that Henki was with the La Sang, and there were many rumors circulating about the imminent rise of the La Sang Family. The Group Leader did not wish that his words would be resented should the La Sang Family truly rise in the future.
