The earlier practice session turned into a battle against each other, and it was evenly matched, or at least that was how it appeared on the surface.
Back in the day, Galen’s mastery of the warhammer was much higher than David’s, but this kind of teaching practice made it inappropriate for him to use any lethal moves. At the same time, David’s response was almost flawless, so it would be tough to beat David in a short time unless he tried to suppress him forcefully.
After three minutes of fighting, the admiration in Galen’s eyes intensified, but then, he also remembered the original purpose of the practice. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Subsequently, the warhammer in his hand suddenly hit David’s hand at twice the original speed.
David felt a sudden numbness in his hand. Although he tried to grab the warhammer in his hand, the strike contained an unabating force that made it impossible for him to even resist. The warhammer flew out of his hand.
Galen casually tossed the warhammer, which then struck the warhammer flying out of David’s hand. As the two hammers collided in the air, they stuck together and fell silently to the ground.
This time, David was shocked. What kind of control did he have to be able to make the warhammer seem as light as a feather?
“Not bad, David, your learning ability is very strong. Keep practicing in the future and you will become an outstanding armorer!” Galen praised, doing his best not to compliment David too much.
It was not that his learning abilities were strong, but rather, they were extremely incredible.
“Uncle Galen, I’ll try my best!” David answered with a nod.
He would not be conceited or arrogant because he knew that although his Mental Energy had reached 3.0, his learning speed was indeed impressive. However, if he relied on that alone, he would be far from reaching the level he was at today.
The reason he was able to do so was all because he had fused the corresponding Knowledge Orbs.
If Galen were to teach him to use some other weapons at this juncture, such as spears and the like, he would not be able to do it at all.
Galen was pleased to see David’s attitude. Geniuses were rare, but David’s non-arrogant attitude was rarer. That would allow David to go further in the future.

In a basement, four mercenaries of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps were sitting on the floor. They had been staying in that basement for a few days now. Although they wanted to leave, the recent defenses put up by the forces of Pelan City made them afraid to even go out.
There would be defensive drones flying in the air to patrol, every now and then, indicating that Planet Rocky had reinforced the lockdown.
“How about we contact the stowaways and spend some more credit points to leave?” Ed suggested.
“The best thing to do now is to stay out of contact with the outside world. If we look for the stowaways, they might just sell us out!” Fessier disagreed, standing by the side.
“However, we cannot go on like that. Who knows when the lockdown will be over!?!” Ed said helplessly.
“What do you think, Clark?” Captain Feroman asked Clark, who was remaining silent at the side.
“Captain, I don’t think that’s a good idea. We should leave immediately!” Clark answered in a deep voice.
His words made the faces of the other few mercenaries grow sullen. Although Clark had very few words, he had a natural, heightened sense of danger. That was the reason everyone could escape the danger this time.
No one would disregard Clark’s words, including Captain Feroman.
“Get ready, take your equipment with you, and let’s change locations immediately,” Feroman said while waving his hands.
Just as everyone was packing up, Feroman suddenly received a message on his identity bracelet.
That made him extremely curious as well. Not many people knew how to contact him through his identity bracelet. Who would contact him at this time?
He switched on the identity bracelet and looked at the message he had received, after which his expression changed dramatically.
“Captain, what’s wrong?” Ed asked when he saw Captain Feroman’s expression.
“The Sky Wolf Battleship parked in space is destroyed together with all the mercenaries on board!” Captain Feroman said while gritting his teeth.
“What?” Ed and Fessier shrieked in shock when they suddenly stood up.
“Captain, where did that news come from?” Clark asked. He was somewhat calm.
“I don’t know, it was from an anonymous sender. However, he stated the location of the Sky Wolf Battleship. It should be right!” Captain Feroman said indignantly.
The Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps was his lifelong effort and his future hope.
He continuously accumulated his wealth for the sake of increasing his chances of advancing.
In order to increase his chances, he could do anything. He led the mercenaries to perform various sordid acts. He did all sorts of business because he was indignant.
Now that the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps had been ruined today, he lost all hope.
“What should we do?” Ed asked Captain Feroman.
The Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps may be gone but they, the main figures, were still there. Besides, leaving Pelan City was the most important to do.
“The news says we’ve been discovered. The authorities are very likely to strike at noon, deploy eight armorers and a large number of aerial drones, along with the city’s defense, leaving us with no way to escape!” Instead of picking up on his words, Captain Feroman went on to tell a piece of even worse information.
“Nowhere to run”?
“Why don’t we fight then!?!” Fessier said in a low voice and glistening eyes.
“Yes, let’s go all out and fight. We are in the city, and the four of us are ready. It’s not easy to catch us!” Ed answered with a nod.
“Alright then, get your armor ready. We’ll barge straight into that residence and capture David. We’ll then use him as a hostage and force them to send us away!” Captain Feroman exclaimed as he decided to spell out a solution to stay alive.
Clark was a little hesitant. He didn’t want to get into trouble with David again, but he also knew it was the only way to survive, so he merely struggled for a moment, which was reflected in his eyes, before making up his mind.
The safe house did not look much different from a normal residence, but it actually had a secret underground passage that connected to a network of underground pipes.
The four mercenaries wore exoskeleton armor and entered the underground pipe network through the secret passage. However, of course, the underground pipe network had sensors at each connection point and could not be moved over long distances.
However, the four mercenaries did not think of moving too far. All they needed was to reach the cargo hovercar that was parked a hundred meters away from the safe house.
That was one of the countermeasures he had already prepared, and as mercenaries, they would set up some sort of backup solution in every place.
The lower cover of the cargo hovercar was opened. It happened to be the place that connected to an exit of the underground pipe network. The four mercenaries then entered the cargo hovercar through the exit.
The mercenaries’ exoskeleton armor was a two-meter tall black diamond exoskeleton armor. The all-black shell of the armor incorporated the shell of a Class 2 bug, while the vital points on his chest and head were made of the same material used to make Class 1 weapons, thus ensuring the safety of the exoskeleton armor user.
The core of the exoskeleton armor was a Kryptonite crystal-powered augmentation converter that could increase the user’s power output by ten times.
In other words, a subversive armorer like Captain Feroman, who had a strength of 2,000 kilograms himself, could exert a strength of 20,000 kilograms after being augmented by the exoskeleton armor.
That kind of power, coupled with a Level 1 weapon, could be completely destructive in the city.
Of course, places like Pelan City also had a city defense system, and coupled with the drones in the sky and the armorers guarding the city, it was rare for an armorer to dare to destroy the city.
If they were not driven into the corner, Captain Feroman would not have gone on that path. Even if he could escape successfully, he would only end up being labeled as a fugitive. He had to be careful about being betrayed.
At the same time, the hatred he had for David in his heart was the reason that spurred him to make that decision.
If it wasn’t because of David, how could the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps be destroyed?
With the cargo hovercar as cover, the four mercenaries could have launched a surprise attack on David, catching the latter before Skynet could find out. By then, they could use him as a threat while leaving.
They believed that the safety of a statesman’s child would be much more important than them, the mercenaries. At least, that was the case on the surface.
The cargo hovercar moved towards Lanca Street where David was, without attracting the attention of anyone else.
The people who were observing the safehouse did not expect the four mercenaries, whom they were watching through the surveillance cameras, to move suddenly.
Besides, their setup would be exposed to the four mercenaries. A powerful figure was secretly controlling the progress of the matter.
