They were the leader of the Phantom Squadron, 'Phantom King' Mourad; the leader of the Red Spider Squadron, 'Red Widow' Faith Kelly; the leader of the Seekers Squadron, 'Wolf King' Alexander; the leader of the Blue Devil Squadron, 'Blue Fatty' Adaman; and the leader of the Hanged Squadron, Felix, who was known as the strongest 135 on the surface. Five of the top 10 exploration teams in the Holy City were also the leaders of the five strongest exploration teams that had been assigned to the northern battlefield in this Holy Battle.
Other than the Phantom King Mourad, who had followed the Holy City army from the very beginning, the other four exploration team leaders had just been summoned from the Holy City. The strength and resilience of the Octopus people had obviously exceeded the Holy City's expectations. Reinforcements from various levels of power had continued. Furthermore, Wang Zhong had long heard of these people's names. In the Dimensional Hostel, they had already reached the Devourer level. They had always been extremely mysterious in the Exploration Team Department. Various legends that could rival Heavenly Souls had been created by this group of people. Even many famous Teachers in the Holy City could not compare to them in terms of strength. They were not Teachers because they did not care about the meager profits that Teachers received. From the very beginning, these people had aimed to become top Great Teachers or even Sacred Teachers. They were definitely Semi-Heavenly Souls and the strongest Heroic Souls. They were also the top elites that the higher-ups in the Holy City nurtured and valued the most.
Among the Heavenly Soul soldiers, there were some who were proficient in their realms, but they were not necessarily "proficient" in combat. However, the combat level of these Semi-Heavenly Souls was definitely terrifying. It was not difficult for them to become Great Teachers. Once they entered the Heavenly Soul Stage, they would aim to become the strongest Heavenly Soul. Perhaps it would only be slightly difficult for them to become Sacred Teachers.
When they saw Wang Zhong walking over, the five of them were rather curious and cast sidelong glances at him. Wang Zhong had never seen these five before. In reality, in the entire Exploration Team Department, even among the veteran Holy Disciples, very few had seen these mysterious team leaders. However, this did not mean that these five did not recognize Wang Zhong. After all, he was the rising star among the Holy Disciples, especially after he had rescued Hyde and the other dimensional humans. It was obvious that Wolf King Alexander was rather familiar with him. He smiled and nodded at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong nodded his head in reply. Even though the five people in front of him had deliberately restrained their auras, he could sense the Semi-Heavenly Soul aura from their bodies. Every move they made seemed to be completely natural. It was obvious that not only had they reached this realm in terms of power, their understanding of cultivation was also extremely close to the Heavenly Soul Stage.
They were all experts, absolute experts!
Wang Zhong was rather excited. Due to various shortcomings in cultivation, the majority of Heroic Soul experts in the Holy City had fatal flaws. However, this rule obviously did not apply to the experts among the experts. He was able to find the Soul Power Circuit, and the others definitely had their own opportunities. This kind of luck did not only belong to Wang Zhong.
They did not continue observing each other. It was as if they were specifically waiting for Wang Zhong. The moment he entered the hall, Sacred Teacher Leyson's voice sounded in the hall.
It was a rather amiable voice. Even though it sounded slightly old, it did not seem powerless. Instead, it gave off an extremely steady and heavy sense of security. "Heh heh, we're all here. There's no need to stand or be too restrained. Just sit anywhere you want."
When faced with Sacred Teacher Leyson, who was known for his powerful combat level even among the Sacred Teachers, no matter how arrogant and conceited they were, they did not dare to be careless and rude. There were many seats in the hall. They respectfully accepted their orders and sat on the left and right sides.
A virtual projection slowly took shape in the center of the hall. It was completely different from the massive virtual image of the God of Thunder that Wang Zhong had seen on the day of the landing battle in the Holy Battle. It was a slightly thin figure, but Wang Zhong still felt that it was somewhat familiar at first glance. Combined with that voice.
Damn … Damn. Sacred Teacher Leyson was … was it Uncle Zhang?
When the facial features of the virtual projection gradually became clear, Wang Zhong no longer had any doubts in his heart.
This amiable-looking old man was Old Zhang, who he often saw in the secret space in the Holy City!
Even though Wang Zhong would not be shocked even if the sky collapsed in front of him, at that moment, he could not help but open his mouth slightly. Back then, he had also suspected Uncle Zhang's identity, but after countless observations and probings, he finally determined that Uncle Zhang was just a retired Great Teacher. Wang Zhong could not be blamed for his lack of foresight. The other party's control of his power had reached an extremely exquisite level, and Wang Zhong could not see any flaws at all. Furthermore, what Sacred Teacher was so free that he would go fishing with a small Heroic Soul every week? This matter was simply too inconceivable.
However, although this was unexpected, it was also reasonable. Wang Zhong finally understood why his' luck 'had always been so good.
Back then, Great Teacher Kenso, whom he had never met, had recommended him as a second-class apprentice. After that, the Wanderlust Team had received the favor of the Holy City Army with a small team of just 10 people, pushing aside many level-4 exploration teams to participate in the Holy Battle. Furthermore, after killing someone in the base, they were acquitted … It turned out that it was not because of his good luck, but because he had a backer!
This time, there was nothing special about calling the exploration team leaders over. The main reason was to give them some encouragement as reinforcements that had been specially recruited. Sacred Teacher Leyson would personally introduce the current battle situation and the general strategic goals of the higher-ups. Then, he would encourage them to grasp this rare opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage through training.
Wang Zhong listened to what he meant. Their mission was not to achieve many achievements in this Holy Battle. More importantly, it was to train and use the extraordinary energy reserves of the Mizobudapi World to complete their breakthrough.
Just like how the more powerful a Heavenly Soul was, the more difficult it would be for them to overcome the Heavenly Calamity, the more powerful a Heroic Soul was, the more difficult it would be for them to break through the boundaries of the Heroic Soul Stage. This was a very simple logic. The more powerful one was, the more stable their realm was. However, while this stability provided them with powerful strength, it would also be a powerful shackle that bound them, making it difficult for them to break through.
Of course, if they could break through this difficulty and advance, their strength would definitely be stronger than that of ordinary Great Teachers. They would also be the most likely experts to overcome the Heavenly Calamity and become Sacred Teachers in the future. Thus, not only did these exploration team leaders have a special status among the Holy Disciples, they were even more valued by the higher-ups of the Holy City than ordinary Great Teachers.
The exploration team leaders all sat up straight. On the surface, they respectfully listened, but they were secretly observing each other. They wanted to see if their opponents, whom they had not seen for a long time, had improved again. They wanted to see if they had left them behind or surpassed them … To them, each other was their greatest competitor.
The structure of the Holy Land continued the competition between humans. Peace breeds weakness, which obviously could not survive in the Dimensional World.
Of course, Wang Zhong would not let go of this opportunity. Putting him here meant that these people also had the same level of strength.
Mirage King Morad looked rather gloomy, and he was the one that no one could see through. His black cloak was not an ordinary item. It had a layer of hazy concealment that completely hid his face, making it hard for others to see him clearly. Not only his face, but even Morad's aura was completely concealed by the cloak. It was somewhat similar to Simba's clown mask.
On the other hand, Red Widow Faith Kelly from the Red Spiders was extremely seductive. Even though she deliberately restrained her seductive aura in front of Sacred Teacher Leyson, she sat upright and did not act coquettishly. Even though she was dressed rather formally, a casual glance from her was enough to convey her emotions. Every movement and even her breathing had a natural charm that was difficult for others to control. Even Wang Zhong faintly felt that he did not dare to look at her for too long. It was not that he would really be charmed by her, but he could feel her terrifying charm. Just by passing through the air, it could rapidly increase a man's hormones. This was an invasion of power that carried a seductive aura. It was no longer at the level of psychological desire, but had directly risen to the level of physical desire. This … was very uncomfortable. It was obvious that the others had also noticed this.
Wolf King Alexander looked rather normal. He was a mature man who looked to be around 30 years old. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tall figure. As the absolute leader of the core generation of the dimensional humans, he was a true legendary figure. His Nine-Rune Abstruse Domination Spirit had dominated the Holy City for many years and maintained a complete victory record in the Heroic Soul Stage. He had even fought head-on against a 6-star Great Teacher without being defeated!
Wolf King Alexander was known as the number one Heroic Soul in the Holy City because of this. At the same time, he had a bright and generous personality and was extremely talented in leadership. He was the pride of the dimensional humans. After returning to the base, Wang Zhong had interacted with Hyde over the past few days. He had heard Hyde's admiration and respect for the Wolf King more than once.
The leader of the Blue Demon Squadron was Blue Fatty Adaman. Just like his name suggested, he had a chubby figure. Furthermore, he always had a smile on his face. He had another nickname — the Smiling Buddha. Wang Zhong could not sense too much pressure from him. It was said that no matter what he encountered, he would always smile and be very calm. Or rather, he did not encounter any difficulties at all. His specialty was his shocking speed.
The last person was the leader of the Upside Down Exploration Team, little Felix. He was the strongest on the surface at 135, but Wang Zhong felt that 135 was a little too much for him. This fellow was at most 1.2 meters tall, and if he was 135, it would be due to his super 'height-raising shoes' on his feet. He sat on a spacious chair with his legs dangling, and even his hands could not reach the armrests on either side of his body. However, he was not the 'innocent and cute' type. His small body had a massive head that took up one-third of his body. Furthermore, the appearance of a mustache on this dwarf who was less than 1.2 meters tall was extremely comical. He was a short dwarf, but his pair of sparkling eyes left a deep impression on Wang Zhong. He felt that his eyes contained a massive amount of energy. It was said that he was proficient in eye techniques …
It could be seen that Sacred Teacher Leyson was still in closed-door training after the landing battle. He had been in closed-door training for a few months. He had forcefully torn apart a complete and powerful World Will and had even resisted the self-recovery of that World. He had maintained the crack for a full one or two hours. Even for a Sacred Teacher, this kind of consumption was definitely unimaginable to ordinary people.
His instructions were very simple. The other four left, but the Sacred Teacher asked Wang Zhong to stay behind. This surprised Morad and the others. Who had not made great contributions before? But was it worth wasting the Sacred Teacher's time?
This Wang Zhong … The few of them looked at him meaningfully. They would remember him.
When the five of them left, the room instantly became quiet. The virtual projection of Sacred Teacher Leyson did not speak first. Instead, he just smiled and looked at Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong also looked at him. The old man and the young man looked at each other for a long time before bursting into laughter.
"It's been half a year. I miss your grilled fish skills and the Reincarnation Wine." Uncle Zhang laughed out loud. He had no intention of denying his identity, nor did he put on the airs of a Sacred Teacher. Just like the ordinary old man that Wang Zhong had met by the lake, Uncle Zhang spoke very casually to him.
"There's plenty of Reincarnation Wine. I'll bring some for you next time." Wang Zhong was also smiling. It was very comfortable to interact with Uncle Zhang like this. When he was in the Holy City, he was able to appear rather indifferent in the face of all doubts and accusations. This was not entirely because he had a good mentality. After all, he was still a young man. A large part of the reason was because he had met Uncle Zhang.
It was precisely because of the influence of this amiable old man that he did not feel so lonely in the Holy Land.
"Okay. I haven't tasted it for almost half a year. Even my throat is itching." Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to meet you so early. I wanted to see when you could guess it. However, Lan Daier said that you had something important to report to me personally. This made me curious."
Sacred Teacher Leyson was Uncle Zhang. Now, there were no taboos. However, when they talked about serious matters, Wang Zhong stopped smiling and told him about his experiences in the Octopus people's territory. If it was another Sacred Teacher, he would definitely explain the main points in a simple manner. However, Wang Zhong was not afraid of being complicated with Uncle Zhang. There were too many questions throughout the entire process.
Wang Zhong started to talk about how he had been brought to Muwei City by Warlock Saint Sauron, including how he had escaped, how he had been chased after, how he had entered the phoenix remains, and everything he had seen there, including the images left behind by the Holy Saint Teacher, as well as his guesses about the Octopus people's conspiracy. He spoke tirelessly. Although his tone was calm, it was difficult to hide the soul-stirring nature of the entire process.
Uncle Zhang listened very seriously and interrupted him from time to time to ask about some details that he was concerned about. After listening to Wang Zhong, he was silent for a long time.
It was obvious that the higher-ups in the Holy Land were not completely clueless about the Octopus people. Wang Zhong even felt that Uncle Zhang knew about all of this.
"You don't have to tell anyone about the Octopus people. The purpose of this war is not as simple as it seems," said Uncle Zhang seriously but did not explain.
Wang Zhong nodded. As long as the higher-ups knew, they definitely had other plans. He knew himself well. Uncle Zhang had already treated him as one of his own and did not casually find an excuse to brush him off.
Why did Uncle Zhang like Wang Zhong? Not only did this little fellow have the Mandate of Heaven, but he was also an interesting person. He did not have the habit of getting to the bottom of things. "You are also impressive. This fortuitous encounter is rare. You should have encountered the soul imprint of the Holy Saint Teacher. This is a blessing.
