This time, Alex divided his troops into eight platoons, led by his trusted officers. Platoon One will be led alone by Arief,

Platoon Two by Cindy and Dinda,

Platoon Three by Jerry and Daisy,

Platoon Four by Sergei and Oliver,

Platoon Five by Aria and Oscar,

Platoon Six by Darius and Raufgar,

Platoon Seven by Theo and Tommy,

Last but not least Platoon Eight by Dario and Ark.

Each platoon contains 60 fighters which will consist of 50 Sky realm fighters and 10 Earth realm fighters who have not upgraded yet. Each platoon would have at least one level A fighter who had reached the Sky Realm cultivation level.

In the near future, the two platoons will then merge into a company, which will bring the total company to four. Each company will then be positioned in four directions, covering the Australian continent. Each company will have one person with military experience who will act as an advisor.

Alex will also appoint four people to lead each company, giving them the highest decision-making authority in their respective companies. Four of them are Arief, Jerry, Aria, and Dario with the former leading the Company One and the latter leading the Company Four

Alex doesn't make his decisions based on his personal preferences but based on their abilities and accomplishments so far. Having an experienced leader is the key to their success and survival, a great commander will make any decisions with a calm mind and come up with the most effective way to overcome their obstacles. The ability to weigh and assertiveness in making decisions in every condition can determine the difference between life and death in battle.

Arief, head of the Death Squad, has proven his ability to lead so there is nothing to talk about that. Aria and Dario are lieutenants of the Death Squad while Jerry has past experience leading the Wolf Squad and the Black Snake Gang. These four people were Alex's chosen leaders, trusted by him to lead his warriors in their future battles.

Alex encourages each platoon to become an independent force, increasing flexibility in their strategy and combat maneuvers. It is time for these warriors to learn how to make decisions and become leaders in their own way.

The challenge that they previously completed with more than 180 fighters had to completed with only 60 fighters this time. Although, it seemed like an impossible endeavor with a third of their previous number, currently all of them had higher levels of cultivation and Tier 2 Combat Armor was available to them.

[You will enter the second challenge.]

[This is the second time you enter the challenge, bonus reward will be adjusted.]

[Are you ready to enter the second challenge?]

"Yes."

[60 people have been registered for the battle challenge.]

[This challenge will be closed for the next 7 days.]

[Good luck]

Arief's platoon is filled entirely by the Death Squad troops. Although Arief is the only spirit enhancer fighter in the platoon, with his ability and discipline in leadership, his platoon remains the toughest squad among the 8 platoons.

The platoon led by Cindy and Dinda was also able to complete the three challenges with ease. Their results gave Alex a pleasant surprise. They truly exceed his expectation. Even though Cindy likes to play around, as an former assistant professor, her intelligence makes her very good at reading situations, equipped with Dinda's firepower which can obliterate dozens of urukhai from the distance with her Sky realm-powered arrows. Their combination is truly the definition of brain and brawn that support and complement each other.

Regardless of that, Cindy used this opportunity to use and practice her beast transformation skills, temporary throwing away her advantage. In the first battle, when Cindy fought using her beast form, she really turned into a fierce fighter who was not inferior to any A rank spirit enhancers, tearing apart the enemy ranks. But somehow she didn't want to use it again in the second and third battles. Many people are confused about this.

Jerry and Daisy's platoon were also able to complete the fight easily. After reaching the Sky realm stage, Daisy's radar range and control increased considerably, almost double the previous range. She even got a new skill as a reward from her previous battle. An unique skill called Halo.

[Halo - Tier 3 Light Spirit Art]

An area-of-effect magic capable of constructing a protective dome, creating a reflection of light that can withstand attacks and also makes people outside the halo unable to see inside the halo area. 

With Daisy in his side, Jerry only needs to wait for the instruction from her and quickly finish off the threat with his fast speed ability.

The next two group, Sergei with Oliver and Aria with Oscar made a good balance for the two reckless fellow, Oliver and Oscar. Sergei had lost once in the challenge because of obvious reason but for Aria, with her dual elements of water and ice, she was able to complete all three battles without expecting Oscar's help.

While the first five platoons had little to no problem completing the challenge, the same was not true for the other three platoons. The three platoons still had difficulties in facing the challenges with only 60 people.

Darius has a hard time cooperating with cowardly Raufgar. So it is difficult for Raufgar's true prowess to show. The fact that they take time to understand and adjust to one another is completely understandable.

Theo also needed time to adjust to young Tommy. Tommy is indeed one of the most talented fighters, but unfortunately he is still too young so his level of control is still low. He still needs more guidance and experience so he can develop. In the second fight they won easily but in the last fight they lost again.

While the last platoon, although quite united because the leaders both came from the same city of Surabaya and had worked together before, Dario's combat prowess who has C grade spirit aptitude is still very limited. But after they went through two battles together their abilities grew rapidly.

In these four weeks, each eight platoons fought 3 times inside the second challenge, in a battle of 60 to 1000. Many of them fell and died in the challenge. Luckily everything will return to normal after the challenge is over. That was the reason Alex proposed his fighters to continue to challenge the pillars, these conditions were truly suitable for their training.

If in the first battle they got 15,000 to 20,000 spirit points, in this battle they only got around 5,000 points and even less in the second and third battles, especially if they die in the challenge. Even though they don't get maximum amount of points, Alex assures them that the main purpose of this endeavor is to increase their overall ability and solidarity. 

When the fighters are not doing their challenge they all spent their time in the training hall to practice their newly received skill from the Doomsday pillars store.

During these 4 weeks, Alex has also been busy. He spent his weeks practicing in closed-door. After going through 1 month worth of training, it was time to for them to show the results of their hard work.
