Maxi was not surprised by Vose s arrival.
In the face of his question, Maxi shook his head and slowly replied, "No, I don't think so."
"But, what if what Lundie said is true? I'm afraid we'll..." Yose had worries in mind.
Maxi snorted coldly and looked into the distance, disdain pervading his gaze. He spoke in an icy voice, "He's a mere tool. Does he think that he can stand on his feet and make decisions? He's arrogant and doesn't know what’s best for him."
With that, he withdrew a crystal ball the size of a table tennis ball and injected a touch of positive energy.
All of a sudden, the ball emitted a burst of light.
Kohen arrived at the tent moments later. Coming to a halt in front of Maxi, he respectfully asked, "Mr. Long, what can I do for you?"
Maxi ordered with a dark expression on his face, "The war is looming onto us. I don't want to see the chaos in the army. You should know what to do."
"Yes, Mr. Long. I understand." Kohen nodded.
Upon hearing that, Maxi broke into a relieved smile as he waved, saying, "You may now leave! I want you to give it your all for the battle in two days, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Kohen replied with a clear shout.
At that moment, he stood upright, his body straight with a solemn expression on his face. His voice was monotonous as he spoke.
He looked more like a robot instead of a human being.
Kohen then turned around and left the tent.
Yosehad surprise written all over his face. Looking at Maxi, he pointed out with a smile, "Mr. Long, your control over your body has increased once more. You've achieved great success through this seclusion!"
Maxi was pleasantly surprised to hear that.
With a chuckle, he replied, "It's not a big deal. All I did was break through to Stage 9 of Level 7."
"Stage 9 or Level 7? You're one step away from Level 8 then. Congratulations, Mr. Long! I hope for your success in breaking through to Level 8 as soon as possible and becoming the first martial artist in our country to enter the Soul Refine Realm," Yose congratulated him.
Maxi waved a dismissive hand with his eyes squinted as though he was fond of the idea, "Level 8? Soul Refine Realm? I hope so!"
"With your talent and methods, I'm sure you'll definitely be able to break through to the Soul Refine Realm," Yose continued on with his sweet talk.
Maxi waved his hand and said, "Well, that’s enough. Get ready. The war is coming."
"Yes, sir!" Yose turned around and left.
Yose was still muttering to himself as he exited the tent, "Mr. Long's method of controlling Kohen and the others have become more profound. I wonder when I will be able to master this skill. By then, I might also have the opportunity to break through to the Soul Refine Realm."
Kohen paid a visit to the Dragon Force's tent. Soon, the voices of resentment lingering around the tent were suppressed.
The sounds of preparations over at the Combat Readiness Committee managed to conceal the complaints and quarrels as well.
Both sides settled down, followed by the other teams simmering down as they began to make preparations for the battle ahead.
The two parties had confronted each other for more than half a month. Both had reaped victories and suffered defeats, but in general, the Joint Army held the upper hand.
Morrison, Stevie, and Miyuki's failure to sneak an attack, however, resulted in the loss of a group of elite soldiers, leading to members of the Joint Army feeling somewhat discouraged.
The war was around the corner. In any case, both sides tensed up and were alarmed.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was the day of the battle.
On that day, the entire battlefield was engaged in an exceptionally somber mood.
The absolute main force of the country was Kohen, the leader of the Dragon Force. After the battle with Fade on Dragonpine Mountain, he was defeated and severely injured, but he recovered in no time. His strength took a great leap and was enhanced, resulting in him breaking through to Stage 7 of Level 7.
Kohen's subordinates had all had their martial arts mastered toStage 3 of Level 7. It was considered great enough.
Descending the pyramid, Riccardo and Sheldon were at Stage 8 of Level 6.
Two unexpected masters showed up in the Chinese Army.
Lundie managed to rush back in time. At present, no one had an idea of how strong he currently was.
The other was Maxi, who joined the army at the last minute.
He was at Stage 9 of Level 7. It gave him the ability to fight against the four Deputy Hall Masters.
Such was the comparison of strength between two parties of the battle.
The other party was calling out for the leader.
The commander- in- chief had always been Yose.
Right then, it was Maxi who stepped forward.
He stepped out with the vice presidents and flew over, hovering above the riverbank.
"Maxi Long!”
The four elders of the Joint Army opposite him were clearly surprised by his appearance. They exchanged glances and communicated through their divine soul.
Wasting no time, a middle- aged man with lightning tattoos on his face and sapphire hair took a step forward. Locking his determined gaze on Maxi, he reminded him, "Mr. Long, your time is up. It's time for you all to give us an answer."
The blue- haired man was none other than Fafnir of Thunder Hall. He was the strongest among the four elders in the Joint Army, a martial artist at Stage 9 of Level 7.
