Chapter 196 Hunt Leader

Chapter 196 Hunt Leader

Cain did not take long to reach the command center of the military encampment and nodded once he saw that all the forty-nine Vice-Captains were there.

"Why did you call all of us so suddenly? We had important business to attend to and can not leave them due to your whims!"

The one that shouted was no other than Uriel, and the expression on his face showed the discontent in his heart. No matter how well the army went, the fact that the one shining was someone he hated made every victory feel awful.

The other Vice-Captains frowned as they heard the way Uriel spoke to Cain. The young man had already made a very good impression on them due to his hard work and superb military skills, which gave them great wealth.

However, none of them bother to correct Uriel since they also wonder about the reason for Cain's summoning.

Cain saw that all the Vice-Captain focused on him, and with a calm expression, he walked to the holographic board in the middle of the room and displayed the entirety of Blade Mountain.

"We are currently in the forest that surrounds the true Blade Mountain, and there is a mountain range that divides our path and that of the students for the next five thousand kilometers." The source of this material is novelbin★

The Vice-Captains nodded, but it did not answer their question since that was something all of them knew.

"Once we cross those five thousand kilometers, we will reach the foot of Blade Mountain, a zone rich in cultivation resources once dominated by King Beasts. Although the dozens of Wave Champion Beasts currently populating that area are surely having a feast, they will not be able to consume all of them fully."

Once again, Cain stated a piece of information that all the Vice-Captains were aware of, but the purpose of this meeting was starting to become clearer.

"I want to enforce a plan that will allow us to reach that zone in less than three months. That way, not only will we be able to prevent the Wave Beasts from consuming too many of the resources, but we will also reach a lot sooner than the students, saving us the trouble of splitting the riches with them."

Shock appeared in the Vice-Captains as they heard Cain's intentions. Although it would benefit them to reach the foot of the mountain before the students, traveling such a considerable distance in such a short time will be incredibly dangerous, and things could go wrong very quickly.

Cain was aware of the dangers of his plan, which is why he needed the Vice-Captains to agree on something if he wanted to implement it.

"I am confident in achieving that goal in that amount of time if I take the role of Hunt Leader."

Benjamin heard those words as a force coming from Cain attempted to put his mind and body in a susceptible state. He had seen Cain's hypnosis skill and chose not to resist.

Everybody saw how Benjamin's eyes lost focus before this one adopted a meditative position on the ground, and his Wave began to revolve much faster than before.

"Embryonic Breathing!" One of the Vice-Captains shouted with envy and amazement on his face. Embryonic Breathing was nothing special for someone like Cain, but each instance was a small lucky chance for the Wave Warriors present. Not only did it allow their bodies to cultivate much faster, but it also cleared their minds of all the stress and pressure of the battlefield.

"Benjamin is a Level 8 Wave Warrior. You are a 4-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master!"

To become a 4-Star Elementary Master at fifteen years of age was beyond amazing. However, Cain had not finished!

"I am not a 4-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master!"

Cain's voice made the entire room grow dead silent as he turned toward Antony.

The Level 9 Essence Wave Warrior was surprised by the intent in Cain's eyes. He adopted a solemn expression before nodding and shutting down his mental defenses, allowing his mind to be as susceptible as possible.

Cain pushed his Ego Wave to its maximum and focused his mind with all his power. His eyes grew bloodshot, but by forcing himself to this limit, he hypnotized Antony and made this one enter Embryonic Breathing.

"You are a 5-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master!"

The Vice-Captains could not believe what they just saw. Cain was a 5-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master, which meant if he took the next step, he could hypnotize Wave Champions!

Of course, becoming a Grand Hypnosis Master was incredibly difficult and could take years, but that did not matter to the Vice-Captains as Cain right now could help each of them enter Embryonic Breathing.

That already was enough to throw away all their concerns, but there was still one more thing that Cain had to offer.

After taking a moment to relax his mind from the immense effort he had just unleashed, Cain waved his hand and took out fifty red capsules with a blood-red liquid.

"Each capsule contains a Wave Virus by the name of Berserker State. Once injected, your body will enter an overdrive state, exponentially enhancing your speed and vitality while improving your body's hemostasis. It will last an entire hour, but you will be left extremely weak once the effect is gone. Your body will need at least three days to recover if you are an Astral Rebirth Cultivator and six if you follow the Essence Evolution Path of Power."

Although the side effect of Berserker State was dire and would impede them from participating in the battlefield for days, it was life-saving. Who would not want a trump card they could deploy in a deadly situation, allowing them to leave the battlefield with their life and no permanent sequels? Uriel's face was pale as he saw how the other Vice-Captains noded among each other, and it was clear they had already made a decision.
