Vorenus also knew that Battle Wolf severely lacked talented soldiers, which was why Michaux had sent Ye Zi to assist Guan Dongyang.
“Greetings, chief medic.” Ye Zi announced as soon as she stepped into the meeting room. Wang Tong saw Xiao Yu Yu loll in an armchair while dressed in a casual outfit.
“Nice to see you, sister. This is…?” Xiao Yuyu gave Ye Zi a warm smile and looked curiously at Wang Tong.
“My name is Wang Tong. I am the training captain of Battle Wolf.”
Since Wang Tong had come with Ye Zi, Xiao Yuyu wasn’t suspicious of this stranger. Plus, if Wang Tong was up to no good, Vorenus would not have let him in.
“Ye Zi, how are you doing at Battle Wolf? I have heard many good things about Guan Dongyang and his team. I wager that you have helped him a lot.”
“Captain Guan has advanced his cultivation very fast lately, and the overall strength of the group has improved as well.” Ye Zi nodded.
“I know you want something from me. Just tell me, sis. I will do whatever I can.” Xiao Yuyu remarked.
Her words piqued Wang Tong’s attention; he marveled at the strong bond between the field medics. With Ye Zi’s help, he might be able to execute his plan with ease.
‘Step one: enlist Xiao Yuyu. Step two…’
Sensing Wang Tong’s gaze on Xiao Yuyu’s face, Ye Zi glared at Wang Tong; the expression on her face could pass for jealousy.
Wang Tong didn’t overthink Xiao Yuyu’s glare as he announced: “Chief Medic, we are here to do business with the Sect.”
“Oh? Business? With us?” Xiao Yuyu was caught off guard.
“Yes. Captain Guan has invented a new type of buff mastery: Divine Light. It is a powerful spell on the battlefield, so we thought that we might be able to exchange the spell with you for some provisions.” Wang Tong said.
“Selling your mastery?” Xiao Yuyu chuckled at the thought that someone was going to sell mastery spell to the most powerful mastery caster.
Guan Dongyang was alone by himself, while the Sect was a team made up of equally, if not more powerful casters than Guan Dongyang. Michaux knew that in order to grow his power, he needed to keep on admitting new members. He had been working on enlisting Guan Dongyang for years, but so far, the latter had not budged.
Guan Dongyang preferred working by himself and fighting for his own causes. A few times, he had contemplated the option of joining the Sect. But, the promise of constraints that were going to be imposed on him deterred him from taking action every time.
“Chief, you should take a look at this spell first. It is quite something.” Ye Zi said.
“Oh? Very well! I will take a look.” Xiao Yuyu’s interest was piqued. As a high-level caster, she was naturally drawn to powerful spells.
“Ye Zi, you can demonstrate it for her.” Wang Tong said.
“Me?” Ye Zi was caught off guard. She doubted that she was ready for such a powerful spell.
“Who else? I am a METAL warrior, remember?” Wang Tong put in casually.
Xiao Yuyu caught the subtle drift in the interaction between Wang Tong and Ye Zi. She wondered what had given this young man so much confidence while talking to a well-respected field medic such as Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took out a crystal and started to channel out her soul energy. The spell was too powerful to cast quickly, so she took her time to muster the energy.
Xiao Yuyu noticed the drastic change in Ye Zi’s power. She had been only level fifteen when she left for Battle wolf, and now, she was well over level sixteen. In addition, this spell was a level seventeen spell. How could Ye Zi wield a spell one level above her?
As more energy poured out, Xiao Yuyu’s face because serious and she watched the spell with a newfound fascination. After two more minutes, a light finally beamed down on Xiao Yuyu.
Xiao Yuyu knew that this was a buff spell, so she didn’t fight back. Hearing the commotion, Vorenus stepped into the room and found Xiao Yuyu being surrounded by a golden light. However, he didn’t think that it was harmful to her either.
With her eyes closed, Xiao Yuyu felt the golden energy reinforcing her sea of consciousness and warming up her body like a beam of sunlight shining from inside. After a while, she finally opened her eyes.
Ye Zi was exhausted and drenched in sweat. Wang Tong had been teaching her the spell on their way to the Jade City. However, since the spell was one level above her current level, pulling it off successfully required concentration and a lot of energy.
Although the Divine Mastery Sect had discouraged the practice of using high-level spells before one was ready, Wang Tong didn’t think it was a problem at all. He believed that as long as one had understood the spell well enough, one could cast the spell with minimum soul energy. Even if Ye Zi really used up soul energy to complete the spell, she could always rely on the energy crystals.
Xiao Yuyu found it difficult to believe that a level nineteen elemental fire caster would be able to create such a powerful buff spell.
“Chief, please cast a spell on me” Vorenus spoke up.
Xiao Yuyu knew what Vorenus was up to, so she unleashed a fire bolt on him.
Vorenus punched at the bolt and shattered it. However, he was pushed back a few steps by the force of the bolt.
“What do you think?”
“It’s incredible… At least a 30% increase in power.”
“I know. I can also feel that my scanning ability has improved as well. No wonder young master liked Guan Dongyang so much!” Xiao Yuyu exclaimed.
“Hehe, yeah! I will need to step out now; there are two young soldiers still waiting for me outside.” Seeing that Xiao Yuyu was not in danger, Vorenus started out.
Wang Tong shifted his gaze from Vorenus back to Xiao Yuyu, and marveled at the Sect’s swelling rank of powerful warriors. He wagered that Vorenus was at lease level twenty.
“Chief, our captain had told me that this spell is at level seventeen, but anyone at level sixteen or above would be able to use it. It can improve the soldier’s strength, speed, as well as reaction time. It will be a valuable asset to the Sect.” Wang Tong gave Xiao Yuyu a salesman’s pitch.
Listening to the sleazy sales pitch of Wang Tong, Xiao Yuyu lamented on how much this spell was undervalued by the seller. It was a revolutionary innovation in the history of spell-making. She, too, had attempted such buff spells, but failed.
The unique part of the spell was its ability to boost the soldier’s abilities without overtaxing their soul energy; this was a groundbreaking advancement. Xiao Yuyu believed that at the hands of the Sect Medics, this spell would be put to good use.
“Ye Zi, what does Captain Guan want in exchange for the spell?”
Before Ye Zi could say anything, Wang Tong answered, “Hehe! Chief Medic, I will be negotiating the terms on behalf of her.” Wang Tong knew that Ye Zi would not be a good deal-maker, considering her connection with the Sect.
“Excuse me?” Xiao Yuyu shot Wang Tong a curious glance and then looked back at Ye Zi. She wondered how this no account earned both Guan Dongyang and Ye Zi’s trust.
“Chief Medic, it’s true. Captain Wang is in charge.” Ye Zi confirmed.
If Xiao Yuyu was shocked by Ye Zi’s answer, she didn’t wear it on her face.
