Chapter 29 The Ever-Changing Form of StrikeAura
"Elbert."
Robert's voice came through.
"Robert, go ahead."
"The new humans who have broken through the genetic limit are not as simple as you think."
"You humans have a term called 'aura,' which is actually the invisible magnetic field emitted by a person. Others can sense this field through their sixth sense. It creates psychological or behavioral pressure on the opponent."
"The new humans not only have enhanced physiques but also have strengthened their magnetic fields. I've named this enhanced magnetic field—The StrikeAura."
"From now on, the aura is fully integrated with the subconscious."
With the sound ended, Elbert felt a sudden explosion in his mind; this time, the consciousness integration was different from before.
A dazzling array of auras flashed in his mind—commander's aura, battlefield aura, the demeanor of a strong person, killing intent. They were all ever-changing, awe-inspiring, and desirable.
'The StrikeAura can turn into all types of auras. This is so interesting.'
As Elbert concentrated, both a fierce aura and a proud aura were activated simultaneously.
Two invisible auras spread like a giant net instantly.
The next moment, Iron Four, who was closing in step by step, suddenly froze. It seemed as if the temperature in the entire room had suddenly dropped. He felt that Elbert, standing casually in the distance, suddenly erupted with an indescribable bloody aura.
To Iron Four, Elbert now seemed to come from the depths of hell, beheading thousands without batting an eye, walking over countless corpses with a proud and wild laugh.
'What kind of aura is this? It's probably only comparable to the aura of Napoleon, who led millions into battle in ancient times, causing countless deaths and rivers of blood. How could he...?'
Iron Four's mind was buzzing, and he was stunned on the spot. The other Iron Family Brothers were also shocked. No matter how Lori shouted, it was to no avail. The trembling from the depths of their hearts had turned them into statues, unable to move.
Suddenly, Elbert's aura changed. An overwhelming pride that no one could resist filled the room. This was an aura of the pinnacle of arrogance, disdain for everything, ignoring everything. To everyone, now, he was a general or perhaps an emperor, strategizing from afar, deciding victory from a thousand miles away. He was like someone who was saving the world in its apocalypse, always victorious in battle, always successful in attack. With such majesty and arrogance, one man standing alone could surpass a thousand armies. With just one command from this person, everyone would submit.
Iron Four's back was instantly drenched in sweat. Elbert was completely invincible in his eyes, completely irresistible. Even if Elbert were to pass a bowl of poison to him, Iron Four would probably drink it without hesitation.
The other Iron Family Brothers felt the same. Only the three women of the Brown Family were still oblivious. They were women who had never been on the battlefield and never faced an enemy. Naturally, they couldn't feel this intense killing aura. Nor could they appreciate the majestic demeanor of conquering the world.
In their eyes, Elbert, at this moment, was just a weakling about to have his arm broken by Iron Four. They just didn't understand why Iron Four hadn't moved yet.
Iron Four's heart was trembling with fear. He suddenly realized that Elbert was not an ordinary person, much less a part-time waiter.
'He must be from the military. Every elite unit, any soldier pulled out from it, would be of the highest caliber. And Elbert must be one of the best or even a leader. Otherwise, it would be impossible because no place could bestow such an aura on a man. And a man with such an aura could never be a villain.'
After a while, Iron Four snapped out of his thoughts. He forcibly suppressed the urge to salute Elbert, raised his trembling hands, slightly cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Elbert, I'm sorry; you are not a bad guy."
Although it was just a short sentence, for a seven-foot-tall man like Iron Four to bow willingly and salute was extraordinary.
Elbert laughed heartily and instantly withdrew his aura. "Well, I accept your apologies, but I'm not done yet today."
Just now, Robert had already helped Elbert integrate the subconscious of 'Special Combat Techniques,' 'Grappling Techniques,' and 'Sanda Techniques'.
Now, Iron Four was already an open book to him. Iron Four was vigorous and strong-boned, clearly a martial arts expert. But he was overly aggressive and lacked technique. So, Elbert was confident he could defeat him.
"There are too many people here; we can spar over there," Elbert said with a smile, pointing to the yoga room nearby.
'A nearly 100-square-foot private yoga room.' Iron Four was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Okay, sir."
Watching the two walk towards the yoga room, Lori grew anxious and shouted at Iron Four, "Iron Four, that's enough. Stop."
Iron Four felt helpless and thought, "I don't want to fight now either; it's Elbert's request."
They went to the yoga room.
As Lori heard the sounds of fighting from the yoga room, her face turned ashen.
'Elbert probably wouldn't be able to walk out of there.' she thought.
Iron Five and Iron Six stood like gatekeepers at the yoga room's door. Iron Six's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Miss Lori, don't worry; they will be okay."
They were also intimidated by Elbert's StrikeAura, feeling the same way as Iron Four.
'Elbert must be an elite military member.' they thought.
Inside the yoga room, with fists clashing, Iron Four's massive body was sent flying.
"Iron Four, you're strong, but brute force alone won't cut it. So, I need to train your agility."
"Thanks, sir."
"Let's do it again."
Iron Four was sent flying again.
"Iron Four, use seventy percent of your strength and save thirty percent. Be able to control it freely and keep some in reserve."
"Yes."
"Elbert, I have something important to tell you."
"Iron Four, keep practicing."
Twenty minutes later, to Elbert's astonishment, Iron Four, who had been sent flying twenty times by Elbert, could get up immediately each time. No matter how unbearable the pain was, Iron Four didn't even frown.
"You are truly worthy of a warrior from the SilentSentinels; I salute you." Elbert nodded slightly.
Three minutes ago, Robert had already completed a high-difficulty search and match through several key pieces of information from Iron Four's words: North 43rd District of Veridiania, special forces, border missions, North Vietnam, etc.
Although Iron Four's background information was pitifully scarce, Robert's large database ensured that no secret remained undiscovered.
Iron Four had served for ten years in Veridiania's top-secret special forces. He was an elite member of a secretive special forces unit known to few—The SilentSentinels.
Just as Iron Four was about to charge again, he suddenly froze. SilentSentinels was not something an ordinary person would know. This was a high secret of Veridiania.
'There were only two possibilities for someone to know about the SilentSentinels.'
'One, being a three-star general or higher in Veridiania's military. But given Elbert's age, that was clearly impossible. Then...'
Iron Four was extremely shocked, stunned for a full three minutes.
Suddenly, Iron Four burst into laughter. " Elbert, I was worried about you before. How stupid I was."
"I even considered the mighty ApexGuardians as evil. How could I?"
Now, it was Elbert's turn to be dumbfounded.
Iron Four laughed and said, "If you can mention SilentSentinels, there's only one possibility, and that is that you, Elbert, are also a member of SilentSentinels."
"The SilentSentinels has always been divided into two main parts: the VanguardSentinels and the ApexGuardians."
"I am from the VanguardSentinels group, and the ApexGuardians, admired by all VanguardSentinels warriors, superior to us, must be your old unit."
"The ApexGuardians, the legend of special forces."
"I was blind for offending you."
Iron Four's eyes were full of regret.
Elbert's mouth twitched slightly, and he let out a light laugh.
