Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam immediately returned. The machine is a complete success, so he doesn't have to worry about the land anymore. With in a few months, the whole land will be cleared of the impact crystal.

He has only one thing to do now and that is train the candidates. As for his cultivation, he decided to suppress it for the time being.

Because, he wants to sign a contract with Mia when he broke through the Great mage, but the little girl is still too far away from the level 4. Even with the help of the hydra blood and the herbs, beast meat, it is only at level 2 now, even though it is quite fast, it will still take some time to reach the Level.

When Sam went back to the camp, all the soldiers are assembled and ready for the training.

For the combat training, Sam has made some special arrangements and the first stage of it is to let them use the spiritual energy as frugally as possible.

They have to have an absolute control over their spiritual energy and every attack they make, they have to achieve the effect with the minimum amount of energy.

Since, they don't have any experience to this, Sam decided to first let them train in this control aspect and then he would train them in battle formations and combination attacks.

Sam only checked the soldiers with a fleeting glance. They are fully refreshed after eating the food and some rest.

Even though, the morning drill training is not that exhaustive, they suffered under Sam's lashing. Now, after the delicious food, they are as good as new.

Sam didn't address them and walked towards the training fields.

As the military camp already has some specific training fields, for all kinds of practices. They include, target practice, duelling platforms, obstacle courses for practicing movement techniques etc.

Sam walked towards each of the training fields and placed a formation disc in each of them.

A formation was activated in each training field.

Then he sent them to train themselves.

The soldiers were quite perplexed, but still went towards their practice fields.

As soon as they entered though, everyone's expression changed.

They felt an unimaginable pressure and restriction on their spiritual core.

"What is happening?"

"Oh, F.u.c.k."

"God, I can barely feel my spiritual energy."

All of them started swearing and shouting, then Sam's voice came and interrupted their voices.

"From today onwards, this is how you guys are going to train.

A battle field is not a playground and you cannot use your spiritual energy as you please. If by any chance you are exhausted and your enemy has a trick up his sleeves, you guys can kiss your lives good bye.

So, from today onwards, you guys have to increase your control over your spiritual energy.

You have to use the minimum energy possible to achieve the desired result.

For, the next week, you guys are going to train here every afternoon. You have to achieve the same damage as spell would cause with only fourth of its actual energy consumption.

After the week, I will see the results and if you guys don't show me any, you are going to stay in the same formation along with your company.

Only if all the members in a company has passed would that company go to the next stage of training."

Sam left these words and boarded Harbinger.

A soldier made some hand-signs and threw a water sphere. The amount of spiritual energy was cut down by more than seventy percent and the water sphere was very small and blunt, hitting the target and making no damage at all.

All the soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads, this would be one tough training.

Actually, even when using spells by making hand-signs one can control the effect of the spell by the amount of spiritual energy and control.

But that requires quite some practice and most people wouldn't so, letting the attack by default and consuming a decent amount of spiritual energy.

But many people cannot control their spiritual energy as they wished as they got used to using the hand-signs.

That is where Sam's formation helps. This formation is created by his own effort. He modified the spiritual energy restriction formation used for restricting and negating their ability to use their spiritual energy.

He modified the formation, so that the full restriction will change into partial restriction. Since, he cannot teach them how to control their energy like how he did with Watt, Sam decided to force their bodies and spiritual cores to adapt.

Sam floated in the air as he observed everyone.

After a few minutes, he noticed a peculiarity and that is the most of the fire elemental and wind elemental mages are unable to do anything. They were able to conjure spiritual energy but the energy is too minute for them to attack.

And another thing is, they are not using any hand-signs for spells.

He made a quick count and found out that these guys are the same people who came to his battalion voluntarily.

He called them to assemble separately and asked.

"Can you tell me what your problem is?"

Sam asked directly. Even though, these guys are not able to do anything, he still has favourable impression towards these hundred than the rest of the battalion.

No matter, what the bet and circ.u.mstances are, Sam took all these five hundred soldiers under his responsibility.

He wanted to wait for these guys to come themselves, but from what he observed these guys are quite determined and wouldn't say that easily.

Today, Sam is in good mood as he was able to finish the machine, so he asked these guys about their problem himself.

After his question was made, he saw that expressions of the people became downcast. Two people who seemed to be leaders of both elements respectively came forward.

The leader of the fire element group said.

"Commander, my name is Marian and his name Amir." He introduced himself and the leader of the wind element group and then continued.

"We are from Fire-Wind Dragon Hawk tribe. Our tribe is located towards the southwest of the empire.

We are actually not part of the empire rather our tribe is a small village within the woods. No beasts would attack us and we live in harmony with the nature.

We are adept in fruit farming and our land is good for growing fire element and wind element fruits which are quite useful for low-level cultivators.

And only we can cultivate in this land as the skills were not recorded rather passed by one generation to other generation.

But recently, from a past decade the war between the two empires was becoming more and more intense and in turn the woods we reside in lost the balance due to these battles effecting our livelihood.

Our tribe leader who is Great realm cultivator tried to talk with the commanders on both sides but to no avail and soon we had to move out of that place and it was quite difficult for us to escape the warzone.

After some long hard struggle, a Regiment commander who is the war zone gave our tribe, the refugee in a small village, but the condition is that at least five hundred soldiers from our tribe should be in the army and we are always treated as cannon fodders.

In our tribe, there are only two types of cultivators, either wind element or fire element. Apart from that our bodies are also quite strong.

But the only problem is that, we cannot cultivate using any methods. Our breakthroughs are fast and forceful but only to a certain extent.

We can only fight with the control of the spiritual energy forcefully and a lot of it will be wasted every time.

We cannot cultivate spells or any warrior techniques.

But due to our sturdy defence and reckless fighting methods, we are being used as cannon fodders in exchange for our tribe's safety.

When we saw how you fought with them without any hand signs, we wanted to ask you for help, but couldn't bring ourselves to do so.

But after that, we heard that you are going to be a battalion commander and so we have applied for transfer.

We slowly wanted to ask your help but before that you already found out."

Sam is staring at him as he was stunned.

He only asked what the other party's problem is in the aspect of knowing about their in ability to spells and techniques.

But the other party explained all his history. At first, Sam was bored and wanted to stop but when he heard the words and problem, he suddenly had a thought.

These guys' problem and situation are too similar and are clearly aligned with the problem of a beast.

Right a beast. A beast also cannot cultivate a technique designed for humans, neither it has spells or fighting techniques.

Their break throughs are also due to natural consumption of food. After some thoughts, Sam felt that he has stumbled on something interesting.
