Chapter 487: Mastery Intuition

Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Wang Tong nodded in approval of Guan Dongyang's splendid move. He didn't simply merge the fire bolts. Instead, it was a complicated configuration designed to increase damage output.

Wang Tong opened his mouth as if murmuring something as a creepy smile appeared on his face. Suddenly the crackling ball of fire changed direction and flew toward Guan Dongyang.

"I will give you some challenge."

A plume of flame shot out from in between Wang Tong's hands, and the end of the flame column immediately engulfed the fireball. After being heated and charged up by more heat, the fireball started to spin as its flame turned blue.

Guan Dongyang was stunned by Wang Tong's power. He had achieved the ultimate degree of manipulation of the natural force. Anything in his hand could be reformed and reshaped into a weapon of his choice. Only imagination was his limit.

From time to time, people could still hear about the news of a lower level METAL fighter besting a high-level warrior. However, this would never happen during a fight between mastery warriors; only the level difference between Mastery warriors dictated the outcome of every fight.

That being said, Guan Dongyang didn't plan to give up even after noticing the huge power gap between him and Wang Tong. This was the first time they had sparred in five years, and he needed to prove to Wang Tong that he had improved.

Locking his eyes on the fireball that was spinning faster by the second, Guan Dongyang started the technique that he was the most comfortable with: the fire drake. After Guan Dongyang summoned the fiery breathing dragon, he didn't unleash it at Wang Tong. Instead, he held onto the dragon by snatching it by the tail while initiating another mastery to buff the dragon's damage.

"Vayu's Fire!"

"Roar of the Tyrant Drake! "

Two warriors unleashed their attacks at the same time.

"Kom!"

The fireball and then the fire drake collided, and the collision spilled out a deadly wave of energy at both warriors.

Guan Dongyang's body flashed out of view and reappeared above Wang Tong. He knew that the Fire Drake was not enough to overcome Wang Tong's attack, and therefore, he had the next move planned out.

As a staff appeared in Guan Dongyang's hand, Wang Tong could feel a pulsation in the air, and he knew that it was the result of Guan Dongyang tapping deep into the natural forces. Wang Tong reckoned that Guan Dongyang wasn't lying when he said that he had improved during his absence. However, that wasn't enough to defeat him.

Wang Tong knew that he had been standing on the shoulders of giants when it came to his power; it was a combination of hard work from the Blade Warrior, Mr. Wannabe, and himself. As for the crystal space, particularly the third level, the level of mastery, although it was not useful to Wang Tong, he noticed that the Mastery system it had outlined would be very useful. If he could introduce that system to the world, it would advance the current landscape of Mastery cultivation by a few decades.

Guan Dongyang finally attacked again.

"Inferno Hell!"

It was an area of effect attack, an original technique created by Guan Dongyang based on his experience on the battlefield.

Although it was an area of effect spell, the damage was no less potent. One of the advantages of the mastery was that the damage, even in an area of effect spell, could be ramped up by absorbing more natural forces.

The Inferno Hell held a deadly force as it spilled out hot flames that were above thousands of degrees. Guan Dongyang was very confident that this killing blow was about to pull the rug from under Wang Tong.

However, when he looked down, he was disappointed, so much so that he almost wanted to give up his career as a mastery caster.

Wang Tong was unharmed. Furthermore, what really frustrated Guan Dongyang was the fact that Wang Tong didn't even put up any defense.

"Come down now, don't float up there like a big, fat balloon." Wang Tong cracked a smile, and then stomped on a little cinder on the ground, putting it out.

Guan Dongyang landed on the ground, then rubbed his sweaty forehead while saying, "If I were Patroclus, I would have done away with you as soon as possible. What level are you at now?"

"It's not about the level, it's a certain feel. If you really want to put it in words, I would call it the Mastery Intuition. I know you have felt it before. Don't doubt yourself and believe in your own feelings." Wang Tong said.

Guan Dongyang nodded. "Mastery Intuition? Are you saying that thoughts and feelings hold power as well?"

"Hehe. Mastery's Power is just one manifestation of the omnipresent energy in the universe, isn't it? The source of the Mastery Intuition comes from our hearts. It is like a resonance between our thoughts and the world around us. It's hard to describe, and you will know when you finally get it." Wang Tong said with a smile.

Guan Dongyang pulled his hair in excitement; he wagered that his urge to learn from Wang Tong right then was similar to his soldiers' when they wanted to learn from him. Wang Tong had pointed him in the right direction and lit up a beacon in the darkness of the unknown.

"When I am back at the camp, I want to be in charge of mastery training. Most of your soldiers have a solid foundation, so I am sure that they would only need minimum guidance to improve."

"Haha, sounds like a plan! They are a lucky lot for being taught by two most renowned mastery users! Haha!"

Suddenly, a cautious look flashed across Wang Tong's face. Guan Dongyang noticed the strange movement in the air as well. The two looked at each other with a knowing smile; it was time to teach them a lesson.

In addition to the approaching malice, another realization suddenly dawned upon Guan Dongyang. He had been fighting inside a mastery space, an area that was protected by some kind of illusion spell. Despite the heated battle inside the mastery space, no sound nor light was leaked to the outside.

"They are humans." Guan Dongyang said and then heaved a sigh.

Battle Wolf's camp was already alerted, and most of the loot crates were gathered together at the center of the camp.

"What should we do? Scare them away?" Guan Dongyang asked.

"We need to learn to avoid conflicts. Every human life is sacred. You can try a new mastery spell I have been experimenting lately."

"Oh? Do tell!" The promise of learning a new mastery spell immediately piqued Guan Dongyang's interest.

Wang Tong briefly talked about the new spell; although the spell required the minimum amount of soul energy to cast, it was almost impossible to grasp its concept. When Guan Dongyang finally got it, he felt like another door in the mastery cultivation had opened up to him.

"I will leave the rest to you." Wang Tong waved at Guan Dongyang and then started to the camp.

"What about you?"

"I need to sleep!" Wang Tong yawned.

Guan Dongyang rolled his eyes at Wang Tong's levity during an enemy attack.

As instructed by Wang Tong, Guan Dongyang flew himself into the sky, and then observed the approaching enemy.

"Boss, I think they have detected us!"

"Balls! Are you an idiot? There is only a handful of them. Why do we need to be hidden? It's so dark out here. If we get in and out of there quickly, no one will notice who we are!"

"Yes, we better be quick. Four or five other groups are hiding on the other side of the bush!"

"Boss, the Lulu Spy Unit are on the move. What should we do?"

"For f*ck sake, let's charge! Otherwise, there would be nothing left!"

Suddenly, a bright sun rose into the dark sky, lighting up the surrounding area around Battle Wolf's camp. It revealed an encirclement around the camp, formed by men from different resistance factions.
