Chapter 531: Life Mastery
Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_
Based on the power of legendary warriors, the Einherjar's Bane (EB) unit composition could be very different. Because of its flexibility and deadly power, they had been a serious threat to powerful human warriors.
After the death of two Einherjars at the hands of the EB unit, the humans learned their lessons very quickly. However, they need to strike a fine balance between caution and cowardliness. Therefore, Li Shiming had made it a law within his territory that no Einherjar should fight on the battlefield with less than a dozen level eighteen guards. The changes had caught the Zerg's EB unit off guard, and the Einherjars and their guards were able to deal a few serious blows to the EB unit.
Seeing the benefit of Li Shiming's policy, many other factions adopted it, and finally, they were able to halt the slaughter of powerful human warriors.
Patroclus' unequivocal efforts to eliminate the legendary warriors convinced Li Shiming that once these human warriors advanced into the next level, they would have the ability to challenge Patroclus and his immortals.
Soon after the fall of the Confederation, the marriage between Li Shiming and Ma Xiaoru was also brought onto the agenda. The union of the two families would strengthen the humans, but so far, Ma Xiaoru had refused the proposal, using her wartime duty as an excuse.
Ma Xiaoru halted her train of thoughts and gathered herself. It was time for her to move onto the next battle. She was a woman, but that didn't mean she was weak. As the leader of House Ma, she had to be strong.
…
Ever since Wang Tong came back from Jade City, quartermaster had assigned each and every mastery caster a METAL suit. The band even reserved some more powerful sets of METAL suits for the casters who were about to level up. Meanwhile, Wang Tong also intruded another instructor to all the METAL warriors; he was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard. He would be solely responsible for the METAL training while Wang Tong focused on the Mastery team.
Hamir had also used the massive funding Wang Tong had acquired and purchased much more advanced training equipment. In just a few days, the camp of Battle Wolf received a full renovation, and it started to look like a camp that belonged to a powerful band.
Although none of the METAL warriors wanted to see Wang Tong leave them for the mastery team, they didn't protest against Wang his decision. After all, Wang Tong wouldn't assign the entire METAL combat team to Mr. Wannabe without full trust in him. Nonetheless, the Warriors were still besieged by doubts. How powerful exactly was this middle aged man?
Mr. Wannabe stood haughtily in front of the row of METAL warriors. Had he been here before? No, it wasn't here. In his memory, it wasn't these Bloody Poor Infantry that he had commanded. No, they had been real warriors. He knew right then that he had been a powerful commander, someone who could change the world on a whim.
Slowly but unwillingly, Mr. Wannabe pulled his mind out of his reflection. The images in his memories were still vague, but the inability to recall the details no longer bothered him as it used to. Why would he be mired in the past when it was the present that could bring him joy? He had watched every step Wang Tong had taken on his journey, and he was proud to see that he was more like him than the Blade Warrior.
Tan Bu and Duo Lun never doubted Wang Tong, and therefore, they had faith in this mysterious Mr. Wannabe. However, the same could not be said for the other soldiers. Ross studied the pedestrian looking middle aged man and hoped that he would survive the first day.
Mr. Wannabe finally gathered himself and scanned the soldiers in front of him. A smile found his mouth.
"You slackers, listen up! I don't have a class for you today. If you can land a blow on me, I will let you go right now. If you can't, there will be no lunch for you!"
The soldiers looked at each other in disbelief. Some even feared that the old lunatic was suicidal.
While everyone was hesitating, two dark shadows left the rank and charged at Mr. Wannabe.
It was Duo Lun and Tan Bu.
The soldiers didn't see Mr. Wannabe move, but both Duo Lun and Tan Bu were knocked to a side, and both collapsed on the ground.

Mr. Wannabe then cracked a smile and said, "What are you guys waiting for? I want to know if anyone of you would be able to eat today."
"Charge!" Ross shouted and led the soldiers to swarm towards Mr. Wannabe.
A few blocks away, Wang Tong also heard the commotion coming from the METAL training ground. Mr. Wannabe had been staying inside the tiny crystal for too long; some exercise would be good for him. Wang Tong knew that he possessed incredible control over his strength, and therefore, he reckoned that the soldiers would be safe.
"Who is this guy? Is he a legendary level warrior?" Guan Dongyang was shocked by Mr. Wannabe's power.
"Legendary is to put it lightly. He can't join us in battles for some reason though." Wang Tong said. "How is the new element?"
"It is awesome. I haven't closed my eyes for two nights, but I feel great! I never knew Mastery could be so useful!" Wang Tong had introduced a brand new element to Guan Dongyang: the element of life. It was able to transform the natural forces into life force and use it to replenish the essence of life in humans.
"Let's call it Life Mastery. How about that?"
"I like that name. I also wonder if the spell can resurrect the dead at a higher level?" Guan Dongyang half asked and half-joked.
Although this Mastery was not an attack spell, it required a deep understanding of the nature of the world in order to wield it.
"Not in a real sense, but it might appear to have the ability to resurrect the dead by bringing people to life while they are on the brink of death. Put it to good use, Dongyang, and show those Sect Medics that we are a power to be reckoned with." Wang Tong remarked.
"I can't promise you anything, especially if Xiao Yuyu is going to be here. She might blow your cover."
"Balls! Can you be a bit more optimistic?"
"I am, but I am also pragmatic, haha… I better leave those beauties to you; otherwise, Lie Xuan is not going to let me have a good time." Guan Dongyang shook his head and said.
Wang Tong rolled his eyes at Guan Dongyang and then smiled. He was genuinely happy for him and Lie Xuan.
…
With the aid of the energy crystals, the mastery casters were finally able to cast the most rudimentary level hybrid spells. The ranks of Battle Wolf had quickly swollen and reached three hundred strong. Guan Dongyang not only took in soldiers who were in their prime, but also many older soldiers, and even women who needed more protection. To provide shelter for the weak was part of the reason behind the inception of the Battle Wolf.
Guan Dongyang's compassion had struck a chord with Wang Tong. Unlike Patroclus, who dictated that only the fittest would survive, Wang Tong believed that everyone deserved a chance, and it was the weakness in humans that had given them strength during hardships.
Wang Tong took three hundred thousand or so from the coffer and purchased many crystals in order to create more mastery crystals. Since the buff spells were the easiest to create, most of these ordinary energy crystals would be filled with buff spells.
Only Tan Bu had earned his right to have lunch on Mr. Wannabe's first day as the instructor. However, more and more soldiers passed the test as the days went by. No one ever questioned Mr. Wannabe's strength after that.
Duo Lun had asked Wang Tong where to draw the line between sparring with Mr. Wannabe and hurting him. Wang Tong smiled and willed him to try all he could. He knew that the combined strength and wits of all the METAL fighters would not be able to measure to that of Mr. Wannabe.
