Chapter 571: Valiant Warriors
Translator: TYZ Editor: X, TYZ
The montum of the frantically growing crystallized elental energy stopped abruptly, looking as if it had hit a wall.
The arrogant Xiao Shan’s eyes lit up. Interesting!
Fire engendered earth and earth engendered tal. As the arrowhead, Jiang Wei happened to be a tal elentalist. The amount of tal elental energy that Jiang Wei could utilize was plentiful, but he did not convert all the elental energies into tal elental energy. He still maintained a portion of the fire elental energy and earth elental energy as they were. This was why the previous explosion occurred.
There were two advantages to using tal elental energy to form the arrowhead. The first advantage was it had an extrely strong piercing ability. The second advantage was it could fuse with the other two types of elental energy to create an explosion.
This was indeed unique!
Xiao Shan could not help but exclaim in admiration once more. This was the first ti he had seen such an exquisite arrangent being utilized in a basic battle formation like the Lesser Arrow Formation. From the excellent coordination among the five people, Xiao Shan could tell that they had undergone a huge number of training sessions.
Actually, judging from the strength of each elentalist in the unit in front of him, they looked very ordinary. Jiang Wei’s strength was rather impressive. He was the only bright spot among the five man squad and was not far from becoming a Master. The strength of the other four elentalists was ordinary, especially the three fire elentalists. These four elentalists were even weaker than the ordinary mbers of the Surveillance Division.
Given Jiang Wei’s strength, he could only beco an unit leader in the Surveillance Division. However, since he had many military accomplishnts, he could beco a middle-ranking officer instead.
Of course, the position of vice division leader in the Surveillance Division was absolutely out of his reach.
Xiao Shan’s high rating of Jiang Wei’s military capabilities wasn’t baseless. The performance put on by Jiang Wei’s low-level comrades had displayed Jiang Wei’s capabilities. For example, the fire elentalists were too low-level and could not produce sufficient fire elental energy. The glass bamboos vials that were filled with snow lava could make up for the fire elentalists’ deficiency and improved their performance.
The earth elentalist wasn’t really powerful either. However, the huge amount of quicksand was able to act as a connection for the five person squad. The sand wall that supported Jiang Wei withstood significant impact and acted as protection for him.
These details might seem insignificant, but it was precisely these details that displayed Jiang Wei’s capabilities. It was these details that allowed his weak and ordinary-looking comrades to display extraordinary fighting capabilities.
A look of admiration flashed across Xiao Shan’s eyes.
However, this level was not enough to win this fight.
Snap.
Xiao Shan snapped his fingers again.
The ice dragon that was frozen in the air exploded with a loud bang. Countless crystallized fragnts swept across Jiang Wei and his counterparts like a blizzard. Every tiny fragnt was like a seed that caused the surrounding elental energy to crystallize and grow.
Soon, a gigantic, dazzling, transparent bell canopy covered Jiang Wei and his counterparts. The canopy bell was ford by the frantically crystallizing elental energy.
The onlookers cried out in alarm as looks of shock appeared on their faces.
Jiang Wei and his counterparts had nowhere to run!
Within the bell canopy, Jiang Wei’s facial expression did not change. He placed his huge bow in front of him and put his right hand fingers on the bowstring. With a deep voice, he said, "Two bamboos. Attack!"
The earth elentalist understood what Jiang Wei ant and manipulated the wiggling quicksand beneath his feet. The quicksand lifted the five people up and launched an attack forward.
Two more glass bamboo vials appeared in the hands of each fire elentalist.
Without any hesitation, they crushed the vials in their hands at the sa ti.
Boom.
The flas produced were much more powerful than the previous ti. The three of them had grave looks on their faces. They used their hands and guided the flas to their bodies. In the blink of an eye, the blazing flas engulfed their bodies and turned them into three n who were on fire.
The onlookers cried out in alarm again.
The three flaming fire elentalists began to run around the earth elentalist with all their might. If one looked down from the sky, he or she would see a flaming triangle that was spinning.
In front of the earth elentalist, the roiling quicksand transford into a brown cauldron with three legs.
Wisps of fire were released into the three-legged cauldron by the three flaming n as they ran wildly on the quicksand. A red glow suddenly erupted from the three-legged cauldron, making it look as if it was being heated.
In an instant, the quicksand beneath their feet looked as if it was boiling, sweeping up nurous sand waves.
Amid the rolling waves of sand, speckles of silvery light appeared. Like a school of fish, they swam toward Jiang Wei. The sand-made pedestal that carried Jiang Wei was as bright as snow, looking as if it was cast out of iron.
Jiang Wei’s elental energy was operating at its limit. Faint silvery stars appeared in his eyes.
The tal elental energy in the sand pedestal that carried him was becoming more and more vigorous. He felt like his body was ripping apart. In reality, this wasn’t a misperception. A slight mont of carelessness would cause his body to be ripped apart by the surging tal elental energy.
He carefully controlled the vigorous and fearso tal elental energy. The huge bow that he placed in front of him was bursting with a brilliant silvery light, appearing as if a glowing silver needle had grown out of his bow.
The quicksand lifted them and continued moving forward!
Xiao Shan’s facial expression beca solemn once more.
This was...
He realized that he had underestimated Jiang Wei and his counterparts.
The fire elentalists, whom he previously thought were the weakest and most useless, actually had their rits. The fire elental energy released by the snow lava was extrely powerful. From Xiao Shan’s perspective, it was too much for each fire elentalist to handle all of the fire elental energy from the two glass bamboo vials of snow lava.
But the three of them managed to do it!
They distributed the flas around their bodies proportionally. By doing so, they could reduce the amount of flas they had to control at any given mont. However, Xiao Shan had not initially thought of this thod because he knew the agony that he would have had to face if he allowed the flas of snow lava to engulf him.
Under such agony, the three fire elentalists could still synchronize their movents and release the flas into the three-legged cauldron at the sa speed.
Xiao Shan could not help but feel surprised. Such an aggressive execution!
Each combat division had certain monts where they would fight with all their might. However, this was the first ti that Xiao Shan witnessed the ubiquitous Lesser Arrow Formation being executed with such aggression. From their excellent coordination, Xiao Shan could tell that they had practiced this formation many tis.
Was this done to make up for the deficiency in their strength?
Xiao Shan’s gaze beca slightly complicated.
The theory behind it was easy to understand, yet very few combat divisions could implent it. It was akin to how the fire elentalists allowed their bodies to be engulfed by flas. This could only be done with an extrely high endurance, steel-like willpower, and strict self-discipline.
In front of him, there wasn’t just one, but three fire elentalists who possessed such characteristics!
Wasn’t the Spear of Heavy Cloud scared of a mutiny occurring?
Suddenly, he thought of an interesting fact about the Spear of Heavy Cloud’s recruiting process. Fire elentalists had to pass the fire reservoir test before they could enter the Spear of Heavy Cloud. Previously, everyone had not thought much about it. They rely felt that Shi Xueman valued individuals with high willpower. After the rise of Pagoda Cannons, the value of fire elentalists skyrocketed, and everyone felt that the Spear of Heavy Cloud was too lucky for taking the best fire elentalists all for themselves,
Who would have thought that the Spear of Heavy Cloud designed their battle formations based on the exceptional willpower of their fire elentalists?
Xiao Shan no longer looked down on the Spear of Heavy Cloud. Not only did he admire the perseverance of the fire elentalists, he also admired the ingenuity of the Spear of Heavy Cloud.
Suddenly, his mind trembled.
While he was distracted by his thoughts, the quicksand that carried the entire Lesser Arrow Formation was just about to collide with the expanding crystallized canopy.
The statue-like Jiang Wei began to move as he pulled the bowstring with his right hand.
His huge bow suddenly erupted with a brilliance. The space between the bow and its bowstring was covered with a silvery light, resembling a glowing silver fan.
The silvery light then converged toward the horizontal line ford by Jiang Wei’s fingers on the bowstring. The glowing silver fan that had previously been open was now closed.
Following which, a thick glowing silver arrow that was the size of a javelin appeared on the bowstring.
Clink!
The bowstring twanged as a silvery light streaked through the air!
Jiang Wei’s face remained emotionless as he pulled and released the bowstring with lightning speed. An arrow was released again!
Boom!
The arrow gleam blasted a huge hole in the ice-like, crystallized elental energy. However, the edge of the hole began to regenerate almost imdiately. The second arrow gleam struck the crystallized elental energy again, deepening the hole by a few ters.
Clink, clink, clink!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the midst of the brilliant silvery light, Jiang Wei moved extrely fast. The onlookers couldn’t clearly see the action of him pulling the bowstring. Only once in awhile could they catch a glimpse of him doing so.
The glowing silver arrows that appeared on the bowstring remained the sa. However, the onlookers quickly realized that the hand which Jiang Wei used to pull the bowstring was dripping with blood.
Razor-sharp tal energy gathered on the bowstring, making it as sharp as a knife!
Even so, Jiang Wei’s facial expression remained emotionless. It was as if he couldn’t feel anything at all. The bowstring was pulled and released chanically.
Amid the dazzling streaks of silvery light, the explosions, and the fluttering fragntary light, they advanced with aggression!
Xiao Shan finally understood why the fire elentalists were fighting with all their might and why they could endure such a painful battle tactic. It was because Jiang Wei took the lead.
However, how many combat divisions could actually implent this simple principle?
It had been ages since the Surveillance Division had last set foot upon the battlefield...
All of a sudden, Xiao Shan felt a sense of embarrassnt. These weak and low level individuals were fighting with all their might. To secure a victory, they were willing to use a battle tactic that filled them with agony.
Valiant warriors like them... should be in the Surveillance Division!
Division Leader, you should look at these people!
Live not an ignoble life, die an honorable death...
Xiao Shan suddenly beca very excited.
Jiang Wei and his counterparts, who were advancing frantically, did not know what was going on outside at all. All of their facial expressions were distorted as they advanced with all their might. The mont Jiang Wei’s shooting speed slowed down, the hole would regenerate. Jiang Wei did not care about anything else and shot the arrows intensely.
There were no more distracting thoughts in his mind.
He only had one thought now.
Attack! Attack!
Separated by the pure and gorgeous crystallized elental energy, the figure of the middle-aged man appeared distorted. However, Jiang Wei’s bloodshot eyes did not blink at all.
He was getting closer!
10 ters, 7 ters, 2 ters...
Jiang Wei was becoming more and more excited. He did not know whether or not he could obtain victory. All he knew was that if his attacks got closer to Xiao Shan, his chance of winning would be higher!
Boom!
Breaking out of the elental canopy, Jiang Wei felt his body beco lighter and his vision beco clearer. The figure of his target was exceptionally distinct now.
He was within reach!
Without any hesitation, Jiang Wei pulled the bowstring with all the strength he had left and placed all his attention on his bow.
Locked on!
Snap.
Suddenly, his hand beca empty. The bowstring had snapped.
He was stunned. Like the sharp blade of a sword, the bowstring hit his body and created two lacerations, but he couldn’t feel anything.
Wang Rui, who hid far behind Xiao Shan, suddenly yelled, "Kill him!"
The air seed to have frozen at this mont.
Wang Rui kept on yelling, "Kill him! Quickly kill him..."
Snap.
Xiao Shan snapped his fingers without turning back. Wang Rui’s voice abruptly ca to a halt. He had been imprisoned by Xiao Shan’s elental energy.
Xiao Shan looked at the unconscious He Min, the dazed Jiang Wei whose palm was badly mangled, the exhausted earth elentalist who was scowling at him, and the three fire elentalists whose bodies were still ablaze with flas.
"You’re more suitable for this kid, so nurture him properly," Xiao Shan said indifferently.
Jiang Wei raised his head abruptly. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
Xiao Shan turned around and flew up into the air. A lingering voice spiralled through the air.
"We will et again on the battlefield in the future."
