Cao Guang had not exhausted every Star in his spiritual world in a long time and right now every Nebulae and Galaxy were completely empty as he sat on the roof and looked at the corpses they had left behind.
If the tide had not receded when it had they couldn't have held on for longer as almost all of their stars were depleted as well, all that was left now were some magic equipment they hadn't used. Gao Xuan was the one under the most pressure, if his cultivation, talent or the help provided by the Baxia's seal was lower then they would have died a quick death.
Maybe those with Winged magic equipment may have gotten away but the rest would be forsaken and their rating for the Battlefield would have tanked.
Cao Guang wondered how many of these teammates would have stayed for any longer, the Maritime Battlefield was close to the city and those with some means of escaping could have done so, if they wanted .
Teacher was right, I was growing dependent on Little Flame Belle, I haven't exhausted my spiritual energy like this in some time, my Fire Galaxy looks almost saturated. A great Battle and the improvement of Little Tora pendant will accelerate my cultivation speed even further.
The team didn't stay in battlefield any longer and made their way back to their hotels, there were others responsible for the cleanup and tallying their accomplishments.
They just had to wait for the advisors to assess them and come back with a decision and resources. Cao Guang slept for a day and half and woke up when his Spiritual World was completely filled again.
He found Du Ling again to heal the wounds he had received after her mana was exhausted.
That evening the advisors called the national team in for the meeting.
Cao Guang sat down as he watched Lin Mu preparing to speak.
" Congratulations on becoming a Five star team at this battlefield so fast, you managed to wrestle more resources from the pool for yourself, now it's up to Song Xia and us to allocate them to you.
Now considering all of your performance some changes in personnel have to be made, Li Kai you will be returning with us, and Lu Zhangtian, Mu Hua and Dongfang Qing will enter the team"
" Advisor isn't the substitutions usually one for one" Li Kai could not help ask after gritting his teeth. He was going back to the National Hall and being replaced by three substitutes instead of one.
" Unlike other or future advisors, I don't care about the situation of the national hall of how many teams we defeat, we just need to qualify and those with potential among the National Hall will be promoted to the national team, if not for your mistakes I would not have relegated you either" Lin Mu harrumphed.
Lin Mu was completely ignoring the strategy books with his latest move, Cao Guang had a small bet with Zhao Jing on how long it would take Lin Mu before he came up with some half crazy half logical ideas for the national team.
He was clearly ignoring the performance of National Hall as a team and promoted everyone he thought deserved resources individually, he was going to use the full squad if he had to.
" Besides, eleven of you seemed far too less, since the maximum I'm allowed to have is thirteen, you guys perform well in the upcoming tests and steal more resources from other national teams, weakening your opponent is a also a valid strategy."
" I see Advisor" Li Kai walked sullenly back with the advisors. It wasn't that the advisors were unconvinced with his or the team's performance but Lin Mu wanted the team to perform better at every test stage like they just did in the Maritime Battlefield and take more resources from the resources pools.
" Your accounts have been unlocked, you have seven days like that and after ten days I want you guys setting off for the next destination"
Cao Guang sighed as he looked at his two accounts, his personal one remained unchanged at 2.372 billion and the new one had about 75 million after including some resources he bought for Fenrir. The national team was certainly generous in the rewards, just his performance in the Maritime Battlefield had netted him 80 million.
I should take a look around and see if they have anything I need here.
