Maxi was not surprised by Vose s arrival.
In the face of his question, Maxi shook his head and slowly replied, "No, I don't think so."
"But, what if what Lundie said is true? I'm afraid we'll..." Yose had worries in mind.
Maxi snorted coldly and looked into the distance, disdain pervading his gaze. He spoke in an icy voice, "He's a mere tool. Does he think that he can stand on his feet and make decisions? He's arrogant and doesn't know what's best for him."
With that, he withdrew a crystal ball the size of a table tennis ball and injected a touch of positive energy.
All of a sudden, the ball emitted a burst of light.
Kohen arrived at the tent moments later. Coming to a halt in front of Maxi, he respectfully asked, "Mr. Long, what can I do for you?"
Maxi ordered with a dark expression on his face, "The war is looming onto us. I don't want to see the chaos in the army. You should know what to do." "Yes, Mr. Long. I understand." Kohen nodded.
Upon hearing that, Maxi broke into a relieved smile as he waved, saying, "You may now leave! I want you to give it your all for the battle in two days, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Kohen replied with a clear shout.
At that moment, he stood upright, his body straight with a solemn expression on his face. His voice was monotonous as he spoke.
He looked more like a robot instead of a human being.
Kohen then turned around and left the tent.
Yosehad surprise written all over his face. Looking at Maxi, he pointed out with a smile, "Mr. Long, your control over your body has increased once more. You've achieved great success through this seclusion!"
Maxi was pleasantly surprised to hear that.
With a chuckle, he replied, "It's not a big deal. All I did was break through to Stage 9 of Level 7."
"Stage 9 or Level 7? You're one step away from Level 8 then. Congratulations, Mr. Long! I hope for your success in breaking through to Level 8 as soon as possible and becoming the first martial artist in our country to enter the Soul Refine Realm," Yose congratulated him.
Maxi waved a dismissive hand with his eyes squinted as though he was fond of the idea, "Level 8? Soul Refine Realm? I hope so!"
"With your talent and methods, I'm sure you'll definitely be able to break through to the Soul Refine Realm," Yose continued on with his sweet talk. Maxi waved his hand and said, "Well, that's enough. Get ready. The war is coming."
"Yes, sir!" Yose turned around and left.
Yose was still muttering to himself as he exited the tent, "Mr. Long's method of controlling Kohen and the others have become more profound. I wonder when I will be able to master this skill. By then, I might also have the opportunity to break through to the Soul Refine Realm."
Kohen paid a visit to the Dragon Force's tent. Soon, the voices of resentment lingering around the tent were suppressed.
The sounds of preparations over at the Combat Readiness Committee managed to conceal the complaints and quarrels as well.
Both sides settled down, followed by the other teams simmering down as they began to make preparations for the battle ahead.
The two parties had confronted each other for more than half a month. Both had reaped victories and suffered defeats, but in general, the Joint Army held the upper hand.
Morrison, Stevie, and Miyuki's failure to sneak an attack, however, resulted in the loss of a group of elite soldiers, leading to members of the Joint Army feeling somewhat discouraged.
The war was around the corner. In any case, both sides tensed up and were alarmed.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was the day of the battle.
On that day, the entire battlefield was engaged in an exceptionally somber mood.
In the middle was a river separating both sides, known to be the border between China and Sianland. Right then, it was the center of the battlefield as well.
On the opposite side of the river, more than 5,000 Joint Army martial artists stood at the ready. Their positive energy whistled, and their auras were overbearing and oppressive.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
On the other side of the river, however, the Chinese had a massive troop with the number of soldiers three times more than the Joint Army. If one took a closer look.
One would realize that members of the Chinese army mainly consisted of ordinary Level 2 and 3 martial artists. Their strength was incomparable to their opponents, martial artists who were, at average, Level 4.
Standing in the middle, only the 2,000 Dragon Force members led by Kohen could barely contend against them. Their average strength was Level 4.
As for the Combat Readiness
Committee led by Fade, it consisted of a mere 100 or so members after the loss of nearly half of the team at Spring River. Although they were skilled, they were positioned at the sidelines of the battlefield. It seemed that they were not taken seriously.
The atmosphere was chilly. Both sides were lined up along the banks of the river. Their positive energies soared into the sky, on the verge of tearing the sky apart.
At ten o'clock on the dot, a group of middle-aged men and women stepped out from within the Joint Army and rose to the air above the riverbank. "The time is up! Do you have your answer?"
The Chinese soldiers despised their arrogance, but they dared not act rashly.
It was because they knew that those who stepped out from the crowd were experts within the Joint Army, skilled masters with their names known to the entire world.
The group of four in the middle were
leaders of their Martial Arts Halls, namely Thunder Hall, Asura Hall, Bright Cloud Hall, and Beauties Dragon Hall. Their martial arts skills were at Stage 8 of Level 7, and some might even have the ability of a Stage 9 martial artist.
There were more than thirty escorts and elders of the four Martial Arts Halls behind them, backing them up.
Their martial arts skills were all in the range between Stage 4 and Stage 6 of Level 7, which explained why they were all incredibly powerful.
The top martial artists in the Chinese army paled in comparison and were much inferior to them.
Yose, Zander, Vincci, and Maitho, the four vice-presidents of Martial Arts Alliance, were martial artists in Stage 6 of Level 7. They had, however, been away from the battlefield for years, so no one knew how strong they currently were.
The absolute main force of the
country was kohen, the leader of the
Dragon Force. After the battle with Fade on Dragonpine Mountain, he was defeated and severely injured, but he recovered in no time. His strength took a great leap and was
enhanced, resulting in hiking
through to Stage 7 of Level 7.
Kohen's subordinates had all had their martial arts mastered toStage 3 of Level 7. It was considered great enough.
Descending the pyramid, Riccardo and Sheldon were at Stage 8 of Level 6.
Two unexpected masters showed up in the Chinese Army.
Lundie managed to rush back in time. At present, no one had an idea of how strong he currently was.
The other was Maxi, who joined the army at the last minute.
He was at Stage 9 of Level 7. It gave him the ability to fight against the four Deputy Hall Masters.
Such was the comparison of strength between two parties of the battle.
The other party was calling out for the leader.
The commander-in-chief had always been Yose.
Right then, it was Maxi who stepped forward.
He stepped out with the vice presidents and flew over, hovering above the riverbank.
"Maxi Long!"
The four elders of the Joint Army opposite him were clearly surprised by his appearance. They exchanged glances and communicated through their
divine soul.
Wasting no time, a middle-aged man with lightning tattoos on his face and sapphire hair took a step forward. Locking his determined gaze on Maxi, he reminded him, "Mr. Long, your time is up. It's time for you all to give us an answer."
The blue-haired man was none other than Fafnir of Thunder Hall. He was the strongest among the four elders in the Joint Army, a martial artist at Stage 9 of Level 7.
