374 The Final Feast, the End of the Test
After all, no one present was as familiar with the use of spirit power as he was.
When it came to exquisite moves, Lone Wolf was second to none.
The long sword in Lone Wolf’s hand danced with increasing speed across the entire battlefield like a dragon chasing the wind and moon.
He launched all kinds of wide-range attacks, and the remaining seven Special Forces members could not handle them at all. Falling like broken building blocks, they were eliminated one after another.
In the last 30 seconds, Rabbit’s weapon was knocked away by a move called the Moonfall Slash, and she was eliminated with light injuries.
In the last 20 seconds, Monkey failed to avoid Lone Wolf, who turned around and smashed through a container to land a heavy blow on him. The force from his blade eliminated Monkey with light injuries.
In the last 10 seconds, Rooster and Dog were defeated by Lone Wolf and eliminated by his blade.
With that, the combat test finally came to an end.
Apart from Lone Wolf, the remaining members on the battlefield were Dragon, who had lost all his spirit energy and the ability to fight, and a pale-looking Tiger, who had suffered the most from the array’s backlash.
As for Ox and Boar, they had escaped in different directions in the last few dozen seconds, so they barely saved themselves from being eliminated.
The truth was, the two of them knew that it would be impossible for them to break through Lone Wolf’s defense in their current state. If the test had gone on for another minute, they would not have been able to stand there without any injuries.
One could say that they suffered a complete lost in their battle against Lone Wolf and the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
The last minute of the test was their darkest moment.
It was as if the remaining team members had met their natural enemy. No one could last even 10 seconds against Lone Wolf.
“It’s finally over. Let’s get out of here.”
Ox smiled helplessly as he looked at Boar, whose forehead was constantly sweating.
The two of them supported Dragon and Tiger while they slowly walked out of the open-air warehouse.
Lone Wolf followed them with a relieved expression as well.
At least he did not embarrass Wu Mo and cover the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear with dust.
When he stepped out of the door, he saw Wu Mo standing nearby with a warm smile. Lone Wolf was moved, and he could not help but smile.
“You’ve worked hard, brother.” Wu Mo patted Lone Wolf’s shoulder and said earnestly.
This individual combat test had not only been a challenge for Lone Wolf but also for Wu Mo.
Although he was very familiar with the structure and functions of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. There was always a possibility that Lone Wolf would fail.
In fact, he almost did. If Lone Wolf had not made that discovery toward the end, it might have been very difficult for him to succeed.
As such, Wu Mo thanked Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf had also contributed a lot to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
“Is there still a need to be so polite with me?” Lone Wolf blinked. At the same time, he pointed at Elder Huang and the three lieutenant generals who were walking out of the building not far away. “Look, the three lieutenant generals are coming down. It appears that you’ll be busy again,” he said jokingly.
“I’ve been busy for a few months. Two more days won’t make a difference. Once I’m done with this, I’ll meet up with you for a drink.”
Wu Mo shook his head with a smile, indicating that he was already used to it.
Soon, Elder Huang and the three lieutenants arrived at the entrance of the open-air warehouse.
At the same time, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong’s recording work came to an end.
“You’ve all worked hard, and we’ve all witnessed your performance in this individual combat test. Weapon strengthening and other relevant rewards will be arranged here. Those with injuries can proceed to the medical staff to receive treatment. The rest of you can go back and rest,” Division Commander Shen Hongyuan said with a face full of concern.
When the Special Forces members heard that the rewards would be distributed so soon, they rested happily.
On the other side, Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng looked at Lone Wolf.
“Hello, Lieutenant General Lu.”
Lone Wolf stepped forward and saluted him according to their military hierarchy.
“Not bad. Lone Wolf, your combat experience and composure are truly amazing for you to be able to turn the tide in such a disadvantageous situation.”
Lone Wolf was delighted to hear Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng’s undisguised praise.
However, he knew that he was able to make those series of responses in that emergency situation because of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s various enhancements.
Therefore, he dared not show off and humbly said, “At present, I’m personally incapable of doing such a thing. I was mainly able to complete the final counterattack thanks to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.”
Lu Yuansheng’s eyes flickered when he saw how Lone Wolf did not seem arrogant. In fact, he also took the initiative to credit the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. The lieutenant general could not help but think more highly of Lone Wolf.
The latter had a good heart on top of his strength.
It would only be a matter of time before his strength reached the seven-star rank. If he was properly nurtured, he might get the opportunity to go to the enormous war zone and join the forces stationed in the White River province.
“Alright, head back and get some rest first. We should be returning to the military region tonight. You and the Special Forces should get ready.”
Lu Yuansheng did not say anything else. He gave an order and walked toward Wu Mo.
At this moment, Zhuang Zhe and Shen Hongyuan had also finished dealing with relevant matters.They were the first to start a conversation with Wu Mo.
Elder Huang immediately suggested, “What you’re discussing is confidential military information. For the sake of safety, please stay in my office.”
After they heard Elder Huang’s suggestion, the three lieutenant generals, who were already tempted, decided to give up and walk toward the office with Wu Mo.
“Ahem.”
Wu Mo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. It was as if he was not a blacksmith before the three lieutenant generals but a delicious cake.
In a short while, the four of them reached the office. Wei Ge, who had been standing outside the door as a punishment, finally had a chance to enter the office.
Not long after, the five of them sat down at the meeting table.
As soon as Wu Mo took a seat, Lieutenant General Lu, who was the closest to him, took the initiative to ask, “Wu Mo, can you tell me what your purpose was when you first decided to develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear?
“Was it just to increase the wearer’s strength, agility, and other attributes, or to make up for the lack of access to flying in the White River province’s field of forging, or…?” Lu Yuansheng asked with a serious expression.
He was worried that Wu Mo would not know how to answer, so he was considerate enough to give him a few options.
However, before he could finish listing out the options, Wu Mo gave him the answer he wanted with a firm expression.
“When I first designed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, I didn’t think about how much enhancement it could provide to the wearer. I only want to help those cultivators who have been physically disabled because they wanted to protect the border!
“In the beginning, that was the only thought in my mind. The various attribute boosts and flying abilities that came later were just inspirations I had during the development process.”
