A woman stepped forward and took her turn. She wore a hood and covered her hair. Her eyes were sharp and green.

The woman stepped forward and approached the steel box. All eyes were on her, as only a few women had passed the previous test.

"Gayatri, my little sister, you can do it. You just need to focus," a man's voice from the line behind her reminded her.

They had come, two siblings. The older brother was Lao, and the younger was Gayatri. Both were the hope of the village of Grayle. A remote village rarely sees many people. However, as soon as they heard there were recruits for the Heavenly Army, they came to take the test.

First, Gayatri had asked permission from Chief Yarko. As she prepared, Gayatri focused her strength and prepared to inflict damage on the steel box.

Initially, Gayatri used her bare hands, raising her right and left hands from each side. Her fingers were open and gripped upward. A thin burst of energy could be seen enveloping Gayatri's body.

From the line of participants, Aji's eyes widened. He was deeply attracted to the energy emanating from the body of the female participant taking the test.

Aji immediately focused on her.

Barsha noticed the change in Aji's demeanor, as she was not far from the young man.

"Men are the same everywhere, always staring when they see a beautiful woman!"

Barsha seemed annoyed, and Aji ignored what Barsha had just said, even though he had heard it. He was now focused on the woman's movements on the stage.

On the stage, a burst of energy erupted from around Gayatri. Her open hand was raised upward, as if a cluster of energy needles were shooting upward. One, two, three, and they continued to appear. More and more appeared, countless.

The energy needles now numbered in the thousands, filling almost every corner of the space around Gayatri.

All eyes were now fixed on Gayatri on the stage. Gayatri directed the thousands of needles, and they all moved slowly, changing direction from upward to sideways toward a steel box 5 meters away.

Thousands of needles were already aimed at the steel box. In the blink of an eye, Gayatri flew upward, hovering about a cubit above the stage floor.

She flew, her hands continuously directing the thousands of needles. Gayatri gave a signal again, and the energy needles seemed to gather closer and closer together. Everyone was amazed. How could such a young woman maintain such a large number of energy weapons?

Gayatri seemed prepared, and she leaped backward. The energy needles two meters in front of her continued to gather. Gayatri maintained the stability of the energy needles.

They now resembled thousands of needles, but they were incredibly dense. Gayatri held them with her left hand, while her right hand returned to its center, and a single energy weapon formed in front of her. It resembled a large spearhead.

Everyone was even more astonished. How could a warrior maintain so many energy weapons and create even larger ones without breaking the initial formation?

At that moment, Gayatri sent the thousands of needles hurtling forward, crashing into the steel box barrier. A clash ensued, and the power of the Level 8 Array and the thousands of needles collided.

They clashed, sending sparks of energy everywhere. Gayatri defended her attack on the steel box with her left hand, the clash of energies continuing.

Then, Gayatri's right hand immediately shot forward for a second attack, using the second energy weapon, a 40-centimeter-long spearhead, to unleash a second attack.

Woosh! Brush!

The collision occurred again, this time, the first energy, the thousands of needles, shattered upon impact with the spearhead energy of Gayatri's second attack. The Level 8 Array seemed to have been pierced and cracked.

The spear energy of the second attack struck the steel plate of the box. And...

Crack!

A deep mark appeared, like a spear puncture. It was directly to the right of Arion's previous spear mark, but the hole was even deeper.

Yarko was stunned. He was truly amazed by the abilities of the female warrior named Gayatri. He was initially stunned, but then smiled and declared that Gayatri had passed the first test.

Yarko thought to himself that this Heavenly Army was truly extraordinary and would surely teach all warriors a lesson. The white warriors still had a chance to win against the dark forces. Furthermore, it would inspire the warriors to train even harder, to catch up on the experience they had witnessed.

Despite this, Gayatri looked slightly exhausted. She must have expended a lot of energy. She was also nervous, as it was her first time publicly displaying her abilities.

She and her brother, Lao, had always trained in a remote area in a village called Grayle. Their teacher taught them energy telekinesis, a difficult skill for many. However, Gayatri and Lao were able to do it with their teacher's rigorous training.

Gayatri stepped off the stage and received congratulations from everyone, including her brother, Lao. Lao was very proud of his younger sibling.

Next, Lao stepped onto the stage. Lao asked permission from Chairman Yarko to act as an examiner, and then Lao prepared.

This time, he had a different technique from his younger sibling. Lao was different because he had a weapon on his back. It was a circular, silver disc.

Lao pulled the disc behind his back and threw it upward. Just as it was about to fall, Lao opened his arms sideways. The disc stopped above him and vibrated powerfully.

The energy from his hands was thin, like fine streaks of lightning, and like countless delicate lines, it held the disc together.

The disc shattered instantly.

Cring!

Thousands of energy discs emerged from all angles. Everyone was stunned, amazed for the umpteenth time after seeing Gayatri's previous attack patterns.

Thousands of discs appeared, seemingly connected to each other, and at the center was a real, physically existing disc. It was an artifact weapon that controlled the other energy discs.

They all seemed interconnected, and Lao gestured with a fiery energy force from both hands. All the energy discs now revolved, faster and faster, and then very quickly.

The energy discs continued to spin until they reached a very high speed, when they stabilized. At that moment, Lao rotated both hands and aimed a surprise attack at the steel box.

Duaaggg!

All the discs attacked simultaneously. The energy discs struck the barrier, the Level 8 Array. The energies collided and defended against each other. At that moment, the original disc immediately attacked, following Lao's command.

It struck sideways and struck the steel box.

Criinnggg!

A long, sharp gash was created from one corner of one side to the other. It cut a two-meter-long scar on one side of the steel.

Everyone was stunned, including Aji from a distance.

Their abilities were what Aji, his two comrades, had been searching for when they faced the Demon Lord 20 years ago. However, they hadn't found anyone with the ability to control energy and be classified as an Elemental Support.

If there were abilities like theirs, the fight with the Demon Lord would have been more balanced 20 years ago.
