Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1575

On the contrary, the first batch of disciples in Hidden Dragon who failed continued improving swiftly. Now that Floyd and the others had truly grasped the meaning of the set of ancient techniques, they grew increasingly stronger. Verily, the effect was even better than Levi had anticipated. To top it off, there was even hope that they would realize the hope of the Dragonites—to cultivate three Crown Kings. This time, it truly seemed to be a hope within reach. “Practice for a while longer, and you guys can then have a match with the second batch of disciples of Hidden Dragon.” Upon hearing that, Floyd and the others were over the moon since they finally had the chance to prove themselves. “Let me tell you that they're very strong! As such, you've got to train doubly hard!” Levi roared at them. It was all in his plan to stimulate them mentally. Floyd and others clenched their fists tightly as sparks flashed in their eyes. “We want to win and prove to Erudia that we're not cripples! In fact, we're the strongest!” everyone shouted. They had been holding onto their resentment for a long time, just waiting for the moment to finally unleash it. They wanted to tell those who had abandoned them that they were back, and they were stronger than ever! Subsequently, Floyd and the others truly gave it their all in training. Naturally, Xaire and the other disciples were similarly putting their backs into training. After having changed to a new training plan, they were again galvanized. Alas, things didn't go as they wished. Three days later, there was still no effect. Even when seven days had passed, nothing seemed to be happening. And so it continued. Therefore, they again switched to another training plan. Time flew past, but there was no effect at all. With the facts laid plainly before them, Filipe and the others were all gobsmacked. “What's happening? We can't possibly stagnate when we enjoyed such mind-blowing progress during the first stage, no? Who can tell us what on earth is wrong?” Xaire and the others were all glum and despondent as though they had eaten a fly. Meanwhile, Filipe and the other two instructors were entirely dumbfounded. What the hell? Why isn't there even the slightest improvement? They ran a fine-tooth comb from the beginning to the end, only to find no problems at all. To make matters worse, they had spent a long time experimenting with a few different training plans, yet it made nary a difference. “Could it be that those training plans were ineffective in the first place because our potential has been maximized?” someone questioned. After all, Filipe's training plan was to optimize the potential of the human body. “But how do you explain the threefold improvement during the first stage? Wasn't that proof of the efficacy?” Filipe countered. “Uh...” Everyone was flabbergasted and had no retort for that. It was the truth, so they couldn't deny it. “Then, what could the problem be? Could it be that our potential has been reached its limit in the first stage?” Xaire asked. “That can’t be the case since all of you still have plenty of potentials to be unlocked. Let's take you as an example, Xaire. I predict that you can be on par with Northern Demon in the future, so you shouldn't be stagnating here,” Collin replied. “Then, what's the issue? I need an explanation! Otherwise, Levi will be laughing at us when he comes and sees this. I can't accept such a humiliation!” “Hear, hear! I don't want to be embarrassed either!” Similar sentiments pierced the air as everyone started chiming in loudly. “Calm down, everyone! Am I not thinking of a solution now? Let's put our minds together and figure out where the problem is!” Filipe bellowed. “That's right,” Darian seconded. “Training is an experiment in itself, so it's only natural to suffer failures. Everything has to be done slowly.” “But...” Everyone was agitated as they had more or less thrown down the gauntlet at Levi. “Say, could it be related to Levi? Our progress ground to a halt ever since he left...”
