"Yeah, I am interested." w.a.n.g Tong cracked a smile.

"Is that confidence I just sensed in you? Hehe. Yes, the Divine Master Sect provides such training, and most low-level mastery casters graduate from their school. Although the mastery might seem easy at the beginning, it is tough to level up once you have learned the basics, much more difficult than METAL combat at least. To tell you a secret…" Ye Zi covered her mouth and spoke under her breath. "Even Guan Dongyang was considered low-level mastery compared to Michaux. Luckily, you can combine mastery casters' powers to achieve more significant damage. "

w.a.n.g Tong nodded and asked, "Which type of mastery is the most wildly used nowadays?"

Ye Zi knew right away that w.a.n.g Tong was not an ordinary mechanic, or perhaps not a mechanic at all. She answered carefully, "The fire element, because it can deliver the greatest damage."

"Hehe, don't fool me. If I were Michaux, I would focus on the ice element." w.a.n.g Tong refuted.

At this point, Ye Zi could no longer hold on to her calm appearance. Her master had told her that there was an elite group within the Sect who focused solely on ice element. She had accidentally overheard the Divine Master himself state his suspicion that the red glob had an icy core inside.

But all those were strictly top secrets, and even Guan Dongyang's mastery had used fire element. How did Furface come to such a conclusion?

A question rang loud and clear in Ye Zi's mind, 'Who is he?'

He called himself w.a.n.g Tong, a name that Ye Zi had never heard of; it had to be fake. Ye Zi studied w.a.n.g Tong from head to toe, and other than pity, she couldn't feel anything else.

Ye Zi gathered herself and cracked a smile, "I'm... too busy lately. We should practice Mastery together once I have some time. "

w.a.n.g Tong smiled and then nodded, his eyes still fixated on Guan Dongyang. Guan Dongyang was about to finish his inspirational speech that had lit up everyone's spirit.

There was something in the younger generation of warriors that the older generation such as Marcos had lacked. That very something was everywhere around the camp; it was in their altruistic ideology, their pa.s.sion for achieving greatness, and the ever-burning desire to save humanity. To these young warriors, the personal gain was not the top priority. It was the common good that they cared about the most.

The tournament was scheduled in three days, but Guan Dongyang didn't let the challenge get the better of him, and he carried out the daily routine around the camp as usual. One such routine was drilling with the Mastery casters. Group mastery required coordination, and therefore, practice and constant drilling were necessary. The benefit of training in a group was profound to an individual's cultivation, since it made it much easier for each caster to tap into the natural energy around them. The Mastery was a relatively new field, and therefore, the cultivators could often encounter pleasant surprises during experiments from time to time. The same could not be said about METAL combat, since the techniques were very well established.

As soon as Guan Dongyang discovered the surprising benefit of group cultivation, he had ordered his mastery casters to practice together every day. After each day's group practice, Guan Dongyang also took a few minutes to offer his precious advice. During that time, not only did the mastery casters gather around him, but the METAL fighters would also listen attentively to see if there was anything useful for them.

Mixing mastery and METAL combat was what Guan Dongyang had always encouraged. Mastery could help METAL warriors advance in their cultivation, and mastery casters could also benefit from the robust physique on the battlefield.

Even Ye Zi attended the session and took notes from time to time. Although she had received training from the Divine Masters, she found that she could learn a great deal from Guan Dongyang's unique and battle-hardened mastery style.

w.a.n.g Tong nodded as he listened to Guan Dongyang's cla.s.s. Guan Dongyang had divided mastery techniques into different difficulty levels, and encouraged the new students to start from the easier ones. This division was considered to be an ingenious creation by almost everyone, but w.a.n.g Tong had immediately noticed more than a dozen defects in the theory. In Guan Dongyang's system, the highest level of mastery consisted only of two offensive moves: fireball and fire drake. Both were the most rudimentary forms of mastery in w.a.n.g Tong's opinion.

If it were five years ago, w.a.n.g Tong would have shouted out his thoughts without considering the consequences. But, the new w.a.n.g Tong was no longer the brash teenager, and he had started to appreciate the value of taking things slowly.

One merit that w.a.n.g Tong found in the Battle Wolf's mastery casters was their solid foundation and strict discipline.

After Guan Dongyang finished his cla.s.s, some of his students kept their silence and summarized the cla.s.s in their minds, and some were discussing about what they had learned with their friends.

"What do you think?" Ye Zi asked.

"Not bad." w.a.n.g Tong nodded. He thought that it was rather impressive for Guan Dongyang to form such a solid Mastery team from scratch.

"That's it?"

"Um... yes?" w.a.n.g Tong replied, unsure what else to say.

Ye Zi searched w.a.n.g Tong's face for any sign that befitted an extraordinary warrior and failed. She found it hard to endure w.a.n.g Tong's levity when talking about the best Mastery fighter in the entire district. In the end, she was convinced that it was w.a.n.g Tong's mechanical skill that had lent him his blind confidence.

After Ye Zi walked away with Guan Dongyang, Tan Bu and Duo Lun sneaked up to w.a.n.g Tong. "Furface, when are you going to teach everyone your tactics?"

"Hehe, there is no hurry. Let me observe you for a couple more days. How about you meet me at my shop tonight, and I will run some tests on you."

"Tests? What kind of tests?"

"You will know when you arrive."

"Roger that." Tan Bu announced.

Duo Lun pressed closer to w.a.n.g Tong and spoke quietly, "Do you want to join us to see Captain's sweetheart? The flower of the Mars, the spicy beauty, Lie Xuan!"

"More like a deadly she-wolf, that one!" Tan Bu piped up.

Although Lie Xuan was a gorgeous girl, she had a temper worse than that of a raging bull.

w.a.n.g Tong cracked a knowing smile, but the smile immediately evaporated from his face.

Lun Duo patted w.a.n.g Tong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will find you a nice girl too."

"Don't listen to him. He can barely find himself a girl! Tell you what, the best girl in this area is right inside our medic room. But, there are always more good-looking girls in other war camps. The gra.s.s is always greener on the other side of the fence, right? We just have to fight harder at the tournament, and maybe we will win more than just the loot." Tan Bu said.

"Only the top fighters are allowed to join the tournament. What are you going to do there?" Lun Duo asked.

"Which top fighter is willing to be the cargo, driver? If I don't help them with the transportation, the loot is not going to grow a pair of legs and walk home, is it?"

w.a.n.g Tong shook his head as Tan Bu reminded him too much of Karl.

"Look! The one in red is Lie Xuan! She is so hot!"

w.a.n.g Tong looked in the direction where Lun Duo was pointing at and saw six members of House Lie. Lie Xuan was easy to identify by her red dress that accentuated her curvy and tenacious body. A charming and intoxicating smile lingered on her elegant face. No wonder Guan Dongyang would fall for her.
