They’re all muscle and no brain. Although I indeed told them not to think and just move. At least, think a little...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Arden stood stiff, watching the scene with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands were shaking slightly, but he clenched them to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned to him suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sister Dahlia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed toward the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’re smart. Smarter than all of them combined. Why don’t you take over and tell them how to fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... like give orders? Formations? Movements? Like a general?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, crossing her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly that. They’re strong, but they’re not that smart. You’ve got a good brain, so use it. Show me why Master chose you as his second direct disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words hit him hard. Arden’s stomach quickly tightened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia then quickly smacked his back, yelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just stand there shaking. This is your chance to show your worth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden swallowed hard as the sound of the battle echoed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor, the red and yellow-haired twins, were alead shtoig at each other while punching the same boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said left side, Rynar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am on the left side, you idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re my reflection!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re confusing me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boar snorted and slammed its tusk into the ground, sending both brothers flying backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hit the dirt hard, coughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia groaned quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? That’s why I told you to command them. They got the strength but not really the mind to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden took a breath, then another. His legs felt heavy, but he forced himself to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked a few steps ahead and cupped his hands around his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, listen up!\" he shouted, his voice cracking a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one turned. They were too busy yelling and fighting the demonic boars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Louder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden clenched his jaw and yelled again, louder than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop swinging your fists around like headless chickens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That quickly got the others’ attention. All of them stopped mid-fight, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Arden’s shouting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t know he could do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden pointed toward the boars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen! They’re big, slow and quite predictable. Don’t fight head-on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrden spread his hands wide, then raised two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Split them up and fight them with a pair of two! Move around, flank from the sides, and strike their legs first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples exchanged quick glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua raised a brow, arms crossed, watching quietly as his junior brother handled all the outer disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rynar, Rynor!\" Arden called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two take the right flank. One distracts, the other attacks the back legs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we’re talking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t slow me down this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza and Clara stepped forward next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take the left. Clara, you kick high. Eliza, sweep the front legs. You’re faster, so use that speed,\" Arden answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza cracked her knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, some strategy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara rolled her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden pointed to the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of you, push them from the centre! Keep the pressure! Don’t get hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded, moving to their positions, and all of the messy fights began to become coordinated ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the twins charged from the right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar jumped and slammed his knee into the boar’s shoulder while Rynor swept in low, landing a kick behind its hind leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boar stumbled with a loud snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza dashed to the left as she ducked under a tusk, sweeping its front legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara followed up with a sharp kick to its jaw, making the boar collapse sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other disciples also moved like a perfect pair, attacking in sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stood at the centre, breathing heavily, eyes darting to each pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep moving! Don’t stop! Rotate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia watched from behind, her smirk growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, a boar tried to rush her side, but she stepped forward and slammed her palm into its snout, sending it tumbling away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even look at it as his focus stayed on Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle raged on for several minutes, but now the disciples were in full control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the last boar fell with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stood still for a moment, panting, covered in dirt and sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins gave each other a tired high-five. Eliza wiped blood off her cheek, and Clara stretched her sore arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden exhaled deeply, hands on his knees, face red but smiling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We... did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked to him and patted his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad strategist,\" she said, a faint grin on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you finally show them what you’re made of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked up, still catching his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks... I just... tried to think clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the disciples cheered, starting to drag the fallen boars back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins also started to argue again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I kick harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I kick harder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up,\" Eliza said, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You both smell like burnt pork.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia chuckled, then looked back at Arden, who was smiling quietly to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job, little general,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time, you’re leading the charge from the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked, then smiled shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... Sister Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group began to move again, dragging the heavy Demonic Boars back to the God Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAARRRGGGHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream quickly alerted Dahlia and the others. Dahlia has snapped back instantly to see just what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then she saw them, four figures, cloaked in dark clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were hidden, and their movements were silent but fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two disciples were already down, clutching their bloody arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes narrowed, her fists tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell...? Who are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara helped pull one injured disciple back while Eliza readied her stance beside Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This island’s supposed to be forbidden to outsiders?
