Chapter 407 Discussion

"No. But I believe that the spy from the Timber Deity Empire that's currently residing inside the Crimson Dragon Group must be someone who has some kind of access because they have been working in the process of development of our operation strategies every time. So, the spy is probably in the position of the Frontline Commander or higher rank. But I'd like to exempt all the Elite Commanders. They have been working with me for more than ten years already and we have gone through fire and water together for numerous times. That is the very reason why I am pretty sure the Elite Commanders aren't involved in any treacherous acts," Lance stated.

"If that's being the case, the spy from the Timber Deity Empire must be one of the Frontline Commanders." Isis continued the deduction while holding her chin. She felt astounded by the conclusion that had been made, 'If the probability is high, that's not a piece of good news for the Crimson Dragon Group. There are more than ten Frontline Commanders in the Crimson Dragon Army and most of them have been working for more than three years aside from Dunn, who was just promoted recently. In that case, it might become very difficult to determine and sort out who the spy is, ' she thought.

"Exactly!" Lance shouted as he stood from his seat. His sudden action created a shock to both Isis and Marin. "That's why I have decided. From now on, the Frontline Commanders will not take part in any of the development of our operating strategies to avoid further leaks and disclosure of information. Also, I will be giving the task to someone capable of uncovering the identity of that spy." He glanced at the girls. "All right. You two must be tired from rushing back along the way here. You can go and have some rest now," Lance said with the most pleasing gaze he could give.

Isis and Marin bowed first before heading out together.

On the other hand, as soon as Rocky left the tent of the Commander in Chief, he decided to go back to his house. But he ran into Dunn before he could even step his foot at the gate of the main camp.

When Dunn saw him, he immediately acted as if Rocky was his brother. He walked closer to Rocky and patted him on the shoulder with too much strength exerted causing his knees to stagger a bit. Rocky might stumble down to the ground if he was not strong enough.

"Hi buddy, you've won another big merit this time. Does the Commander in Chief want to give you the position of Commander? I believe you'll refuse him again, am I right? Ha-ha," Dunn finally burst into laughter.

Since Dunn, Marin and other Frontline Commanders played their part in defending Wild Heaven Pass successfully, Rocky's relationship with Dunn was greatly improved. Rocky now thought of him as a forthright man and because of these circumstances, Rocky became nicer and no longer wore his cold face in front of Dunn anymore.

"I already rejected the Commander in C

he studies they had created to all of their disciples. Their school was known for its characteristics where they only performed mental cultivation methods without any practice of spiritual martial arts.

In some sense, practicing only a mental cultivation method would not result in a great accomplishment, because even if the spirit manipulator possessed a great amount of spiritual power, the spiritual power wouldn't be as effective compared to others who practiced spiritual martial arts. However, the Sima Clan's mental cultivation method wasn't processed in a normal way. They were turning the spiritual power into a destructive one so that they could replace the spiritual martial arts.

It was a torturing process for a spirit manipulator. Practicing spiritual power was more difficult than practicing spiritual martial arts, so that they felt worse than death. But once they had made a breakthrough on all of the practices, they would become so powerful, enough to kill an opponent with just one move.

The Blade Spirit Skill Dunn possessed was a great example. It had power that was as sharp as a blade, which was more endurable for spirit manipulators than spirit martial arts, because it could consume a large amount of spiritual power if a manipulator used spirit martial arts. Therefore, every move would be as effective as spiritual martial arts if the spiritual power itself was destructive enough.

All destructive power could be retained even if only a small amount of spiritual power was left. This was the biggest advantage of the destructive spiritual power and it was suitable for close combat and lasting fight.

On the other hand, having weak defense became its weakness, especially when a spirit manipulator fought with a stronger opponent who used spiritual martial arts. A spirit manipulator who practiced only destructive spiritual power would be likely to have unstable power to hold his or her own on a battlefield.
