The effect lasted on Ye Zi for more than ten minutes.

“Hehe… Do you like it? Feels good, right? ”

“Yes, it was amazing!” Having said that, she was not entirely caught off guard by Wang Tong’s yet another surprising ability. By then, she was convinced that he could do anything that he claimed he would, regardless of how preposterous the claim sounded.

“Hehe… Actually, I have a small favor to ask.” Wang Tong said reluctantly, embarrassment written all over his face.

Ye Zi failed to suppress a snicker. “What do you want? I can’t imagine that you would ever need my help.”

“It is difficult for us to recruit more Mastery casters, especially with our financial situation. I was wondering if you could be kind enough to talk to the Divine Mastery Sect and see if they could lend us some mastery casters?” Wang Tong asked.

“Why do you ask me? I am just a lowly field medic.”

“No, no. You are the goddess of Battle Wolf, the greatest field medic in the entire Maersa district!” Wang Tong announced with conviction.

Ye Zi gave him a smirk and asked, “Is your mouth always that sweet in front of girls? Fine, I will do it. But, I will only ask them once.”

“Thank you so much! Please accept the Divine Light spell as a token of my appreciation.”

“Does Guan Dongyang know about your plan? ”

“Yes, he does. I know you are from the Divine Mastery Sect, but I hope that you also feel that you belong here. Please help us out this time. ”

Ye Zi thought for a second and reckoned that it would be a great opportunity to visit her old friends in the Sect.

Considering the perils during her travel, he conceded that she would need to spend some time to prepare for the long and dangerous journey ahead.

It took Blizzard one day and one night to complete the transportation of the METAL suits. Not all those one hundred or so heavy METAL were made out of brand new parts. However, Hans could tell that they were very well put together, and were all of very high quality.

Hans had never made the connection between these high-quality METAL suits and the pile of junk that Wang Tong had demanded from Thunder Fire. The possibility that these were second-hand heavy METAL from the Thunder Fire had been only a fleeting thought in his mind. It was impossible for anyone to fix all of these heavy METAL suits in just a few days after all.

Calm and quietness finally returned the camp after the Blizzard soldiers were gone. There were still twenty five heavy METAL suits left, and the sight of these ‘survivors’ of the business deal lit up Ross’ face with joy. Once Battle Wolf shifted its focus from training to expansion, these heavy METAL would be put to use.

Improving the overall quality of a team took time, and it could not be rushed. The key was concentration and focus, and not to spread training objectives too thin.

After much preparation, Wang Tong, Ye Zi, Duo Lun, and Tan Bu set off to the Divine Mastery Sect’s territory, the Jade City. By then, there were only four factions that were still powerful enough to hold cities: the Divine Mastery Sect, House Lie, Kaedeians, and the Sect of Thunder Drum.

Although Jade City was one of the closest city to the City of Maersa, Wang Tong decided to escort Ye Zi for her safety. In this way, he could also pay the Divine Mastery Sect a visit while he was at it. He left the band business to Guan Dongyang as he trusted that he could manage the band as well as he used to.

The Battle Wolf had been growing at an incredible rate ever since Wang Tong joined the team. Not only had its recent victories instilled much respect in other factions, but it had also gained them a powerful ally in the district: Blizzard.

Wang Tong knew that sooner or later, Battle Wolf was going to take off, and it was up to him to fill up its ranks, especially those of the mastery casters.

Most mastery casters on Mars were trained at the Divine Mastery Sect, and therefore, Wang Tong had to do some head hunting under the Divine Master’s nose.

“Ye Zi, who is in charge of Jade City?”

“It will be one of the chief priests. I am not sure who it is. Don’t push them too hard to join you; it won’t work.” Ye Zi remarked.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, “I am not there to rob them. It would only be a win-win situation for everyone should they decide to join us.”

Ye Zi heaved a sigh, “I know it will be a good thing if you can enlist some talent. But, I need to warn you: not everyone in the Sect is a benevolent saint. Be careful!”

“Doesn’t Michaux discipline his followers? He is the leader of the sect after all.”

“He does, but he can only do it to a certain degree. He will have to rely on his men when the Zergs are at the door.” Ye Zi lamented.

Wang Tong was not surprised at all. Since the Divine Mastery Sect was forced to face the war, they also had to face real-world problems.

Wang Tong didn’t keep on prying Ye Zi, since he knew that she was hesitant to criticize the Sect.

The four traveled light and fast. Although they had encountered a few Zerg scouting parties that roamed everywhere on Mars, these low-level Zergs were quickly dealt with by Tan Bu and Duo Lun.

During one encounter, Tan Bu and Duo Lun went ahead of the other two to finish off the Zergs, and when they returned, they brought someone else with them.

“Captain, we saved him. What should we do with him?” Duo Lun asked.

Ye Zi walked to the stranger and examined his vitals. “He is in a coma. Looks like he is with a group.” Ye Zi remarked on seeing the uniform the stranger was wearing.

Ye Zi brought some water to the stranger’s lips, and soon, life returned to the pale face. The pair of alerted eyes darted left and right, and he didn’t lower his guard until he found out that he was with four humans.

“Who are you guys?”

“Samaritans.”

The stranger patted himself down, making sure he still had four limbs.

“We have tended to your wounds; you should be fine now.” Ye Zi said.

“Are you a field medic?” The man in the purple uniform asked.

“Yes.”

“You have saved me?”

Seeing Lun Duo nodded, and only then did the stranger exhale and say, “Thank you.”

“No worries! We are all humans. Do you want to accompany us or will you be on your own way?” Lun Duo asked.

The stranger’s face was eerily placid, making his appreciation seem less sincere than it should be. His unblinking eyes had been glued to Ye Zi ever since he woke up.
