“Just going back to the basic only.”
Achilles smiled meaningfully. Then, he signalled Jack to follow him, heading towards the Dragon Cavalry Sword’s drilling formation.
The yelling sounds were ear-splitting, hitting around like waves.
It seemed like each of the soldiers could surge the winds and snow just by waving their swords.
The square formation was shrouded in glaring lights.
The cold wind blew while snowflakes were whirling down.
All the soldiers were half-naked, showing off their well-built muscles.
They could not feel the chilliness even when snowflakes fell on them.
Instead, the snowflakes turned into water vapour and instantly evaporated as soon as they landed on the soldier’s body.
Everyone seemed like a burning furnace. Visible heat could be seen on their naked upper bodies and top of their head when they were waving the Dragon Cavalry sword.
“This marvellous body physique is a result from persistent training, time after time.”
Jack was shocked. He was confident with his own body physique, and it should not be any weaker than these soldiers who were training on the Dragon Cavalry Sword.
But he knew very well.
His had gotten his current strength and ability through an accident. However, for these soldiers, they gained their strong power through relentless training, over and over again, and also through countless of life and death encounters.
While he was still in a daze.
Achilles came back with a Dragon Cavalry Sword and a rifle.
“Try it out?”
Achilles threw the rifle into Jack’s hand.
Then, he moved his mountainous body and stepped half a step backwards, dragging the Dragon Cavalry Sword along with him.
This scene did not attract any attraction from the soldiers.
Everyone was focused on their own drills.
In the eyes of the veteran Dragon Cavalry soldiers, what was happening between Jack and Achilles was more than familiar. They were used to this kind of situation.
Almost all of the new recruits, including these veterans, had the same kind of doubt when they first joined the Dragon Cavalry.
And going through Jack and Achilles’ method was the best way to bust the myth.
Jack raised the rifle and looked hesitantly at Achilles, “Should I spray the bullets or just shoot it point-blank?”
“Either is fine!”
Achilles smiled proudly, “Are you worried that I can no longer lift this thing?”
Jack shook his head.
As the former Chief Guard, how could it be possible that he could no longer lift the Dragon Cavalry Sword?
As the second highest rank office in the Dragon Cavalry, it was not only an iconic title. Instead, it also meant his power capabilities as well!
To be very frank.
Achilles was a person far more superior than the Twelve Golden Guards. Among the three hundred thousand people in the Dragon Cavalry, the only person who could overpower him would be Zenith.
However.
Before Jack could fire the shot.
Boom!
A loud gunshot suddenly echoed through the sky of Thegiant city.
The sudden gunshot instantly silenced the huge drilling ground.
A whizzing sound could be heard tearing through the wind.
Jack’s expression immediately changed. In his vision, he could see a bullet flying towards Achilles under the bright light of the drilling grounds.
Achilles’ eyes widen when he heard the sudden gunshot.
But.
In that split second.
Achilles was still in his initial position where he dragged the sword and backstepped. However, at that instant before the bullet arrived, he quickly turned his body, lifted the bulky Dragon Cavalry Sword up with his right hand and positioned it tightly on his back.
Clang!
The bullet collided on the thick blade of the Dragon Cavalry Sword and sparks sprayed around. The bullet then dropped onto the snowy ground.
Everything happened in a flash.
Jack was dazed while it all happened.
He only got back his sense when Achilles slowly removed the Dragon Cavalry Sword from his back.
However, in Jack’s eyes, Achilles was not looking at Jack. He was gazing at the direction where the bullet came, and his eyes was sparkling with excitement.
At the very next second.
Achilles took a step back and dragged the sword again, as if this were the first move for the Dragon Cavalry Sword Swordmanship.
“Look carefully!”
Achilles’ hoarse voice transmitted in Jack’s ears.
Jack immediately looked towards the direction where Achilles was staring at. A massive figure could be seen standing still faraway in the wind and snow. However, it was too far so he couldn’t really tell who the person was.
At the same time.
