Chapter 492: Pressure Test
Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_
"KOM!"
Ross was struck by an invisible force and blown into the air, then pinned onto a wall .
"I don't like to be interrupted . Many of you might not like me, but that's fine . If I can fix your METAL suit, I can also fix your attitude . "
Everyone was stunned by the development . Wang Tong used neither mastery nor GN force, it was purely a soul energy attack, and it had pinned a level fifteen METAL warrior on the wall like a fly .
Guan Dongyang clapped his hand to attract attention, and then he announced, "The ten days from now on will be life-changing . I hope you will appreciate this opportunity . If you really can't do it, please let me know, and I will be more than happy to let you withdraw . But, if you are willing to stay, make sure you obey the orders . "
Ross finally picked himself up from the ground and rushed to the group . "Captain, he had attacked me by surprise . It doesn't count!"
Guan Dongyang glanced at Ross and found indignation written all over his face . He knew that in order to quell everyone's doubts, Wang Tong would have to convince them himself .
"Ross, don't you remember what I had told Nihlathak? I gave him five minutes, so I will give you three seconds . If you can last for more than three seconds, then I will cancel the new training program . " Guan Dongyang smiled . He was more interested in seeing how Wang Tong would handle this challenge than what would happen to Ross .
"Boss, are you kidding me? Even if he is a legendary level warrior, I can still last for at least three seconds!" Ross said with disbelief .
"Start!"
"Yes!" Ross said as he charged up his soul energy and then looked to Wang Tong . But, he didn't see Wang Tong; instead, he saw a giant fireball right in front of him . He wasn't sure what happened next, but when he regained some consciousness, he found that he was pinned to the wall again at the same spot .
Everyone was shocked by Wang Tong's skills . They had never seen anyone who could cast a fire spell so quickly . And Ye Zi was more shocked by the development than anyone else, but for a very different reason . She had seen someone else use the exact same spell before .
"Instant Cast!" Ye Zi gasped .
"Hehe . It was not strictly instant . There is still some delay . This is one of the most basic technique in Mastery, and I expect all of you to master it by the end of the training session . "
Hamir and the other warriors exchanged a few fearful glances . Some of them had heard of the "Instant Cast" before, and it was reserved for only the best of the best at the Divine Mastery sect . After mastering the technique, a mastery warrior could release a mastery spell quicker than a METAL warrior would release GN force .
Was Furface a Mastery Caster?
Everyone murmured about their speculations regarding the identity of their new instructor . However, Duo Lun and Tan Bu remained silent; they had seen much more powerful acts from Wang Tong .
Ross dragged his body back to the group and then said, "You win! I will listen to your instructions from now on!"
"Listen up mastery casters, during the first stage of your training, we will focus on the element of speed . As for METAL warriors, I have other plans for you . "
"That's easier said than done . How can we increase our speed?" Hamir asked .
"Take it slow . Start with increasing your soul energy . " Wang Tong said .
"Me too?" Guan Dongyang asked .
Wang Tong shrugged and then said, "Up to you . "
Guan Dongyang announced to everyone, "We will try our best, and we will beat him in the end . "
Wang Tong nodded as he marveled at Guan Dongyang's skill in fanning his soldier's morale .
Although no one knew how they would be able to best such a powerful warrior, Guan Dongyang's words made them forget about their doubts and start to focus on their soul energy training .
…
During training, the mastery casters could sense Guan Dongyang's soul energy from a distance . As they were marveling at their captain's powerful soul energy, Wang Tong opened up his arm and sent an invisible web of energy toward the mastery casters .
Everyone felt it right away . As if entangled in a net made out of heavy wires, the mastery casters felt the heaviness in their body and mind . They then cranked up their soul energy in an effort to counter the attack coming from Wang Tong . However, as soon as their soul energy was about to overturn the situation, they felt the weight of the net getting a bit heavier, forcing the soldiers to increase their soul energy by another notch, until they had reached their limits .
Ye Zi had known this type of training method as a one on one training technique between two mastery casters of similar levels . However, Wang Tong had proven to be able to handle twenty soldiers at the same time, including one level eighteen mastery genius .
Guan Dongyang was pleasantly surprised by the discovery of another training method . All this while, he wondered how Wang Tong had done it with such ease .
With Wang Tong's web of soul energy increasing in intensity, even Guan Dongyang started to feel weariness . However, he was convinced that he could pull through it .
Wang Tong smiled and then said, "That was for you to warm up… Now is the real test . I will place on you a soul energy one level higher than your current level . "
"KOM!"
Guan Dongyang's face paled in an instant . Wang Tong's soul energy bore down on him with the weight of a mountain . However, he didn't flinch and remained steadfast in his defense . He knew that calmness and patience was the only weapon he had while facing a foe who was much more powerful than him . Slow and steady would win the race, while going fast and furious would only get him killed .
After weeks of training, Tan Bu and Duo Lun had reached the same conclusion as Guan Dongyang, so the two increased their soul energy very slowly, striking a fine balance between relieving pain and conserving energy . Meanwhile, they dug in for a long struggle .
Wang Tong looked at the two young soldiers and nodded in approval .
After a while, the other soldiers started to fall to the ground one after another . None of them were able to get up after they had collapsed .
With his eyes closed, Guan Dongyang covered himself with a layer of soul energy while enduring the strain on his system . As a level eighteen Mastery caster, he would not be struck down so easily . Wang Tong was pleased by Guan Dongyang's performance so far, and he reckoned that the latter had improved a lot ever since the tournament .
Ross' face was knotted and contorted by the pain . Bead-sized sweat had joined into a trickle, running down his broad face; he was on the verge of collapsing . When his legs finally gave in, his attempt to make his fall as graceful as possible failed miserably .
As most of the mastery casters retreated from the test, Ye Zi remained on the training ground . She was trained by the divine masters, so her foundation was more solid than most warriors of Battle Wolf .
After some time, all soldiers were laying on the ground except for four: Guan Dongyang, Duo Lun, Tan Bu, and Ye Zi .
"Excellent, the four of you can enter the second stage . " Wang Tong announced .
The first stage subjected the soldiers under soul energy attack that was one level higher than them, and the second phase would up the game by a notch: it would be two additional levels instead of one .
"KOM!"
When the level twenty soul energy came down on Guan Dongyang, he felt that his body was about to buckle under the weight, but it didn't . Swallowing down the pain, Guan Dongyang slowly cranked up his soul energy again, pushing his limit further .
Ye Zi thought she could weather phase two as she did in phase one . But, as soon as the additional soul energy weighted on her, she fell to the ground immediately .
Although struggling, Tan Bu and Duo Lun stood with their shaky legs . They gritted their teeth and let the sweat slide down their body, forming a little puddle beside their feet .
After a while, Tan Bu felt like he was losing consciousness, as the world turned blank . The image of his sister being devoured by the Zerg replayed right in front him .
"No! NO!"
Tan Bu shouted in his mind as terror, anger, and pain gripped him . The white nothingness gnawed at his mind and soul .
"Away!" He shouted, "AWAY!" He charged up all of the soul energy that was left in him .
"Kom!"
As Tan Bu fell to the ground, he advanced into level fourteen .
