Wen Nuan looked at the stunned Wen Yan, winked playfully, and with a flick of her wrist, the short blade formed from spiritual energy dissipated.

He said with a grin, "Brother, it seems you haven't made much progress lately. You'd better work harder!"

Wen Yan snapped out of his daze, shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of relief. "Nuan Nuan, your progress is so fast that your brother can't keep up."

The soldiers gathered around and all gave Wen Nuan a thumbs up.

"Commander Wen, we are utterly impressed by your abilities!"

"That's right, you should share more of your experience with us in the future so that we can benefit from it too."

Wen Nuan smiled and waved her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Actually, everyone's cultivation foundation is very solid. The key is to use spiritual power flexibly."

She casually summoned a stone, and with a surge of spiritual energy in her hand, the stone deformed like soft mud.

“We cannot just pursue power in our cultivation. We must learn to control the form and direction of spiritual energy. For example, you may usually use spiritual energy to break this stone, but if you change your approach and change its shape, you can achieve unexpected victory in battle.”

"The techniques I've taught you can be used flexibly, and you can also innovate on your own. After all, spiritual power is just an aid; how to use it is up to us."

She raised her hand to demonstrate, and a gust of spiritual energy transformed into a gentle breeze that swirled in front of her, followed by the formation of a spiritual energy shield.

But the shield was not stationary; it rotated continuously in the breeze, refracting strange light.

"In this way, not only will the shield's defensive capabilities be enhanced, but the centrifugal force generated by the rotation will also deflect close-range attacks."

The soldiers stared in disbelief, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Commander Wen, innovation is easier said than done. Where should we begin?"

Warmth smiled, her gaze sweeping over each of them, her tone gentle yet powerful.

"Let's start with the spells you're most familiar with. Think about it, every time you cast a spell, don't you follow a fixed set of steps and patterns? Breaking those patterns is the first step to innovation."

She looked at a warrior in the crowd, "For example... your name is Li Yang? I remember your specialty is 'Fireball,' right? When you usually cast it, do you condense your spiritual energy into a fireball and then throw it at the target?"

Li Yang nodded in agreement.

Wen Nuan continued, "Could you try changing the shape of the fireball, for example, turning it into a fire whip, which can not only attack from a distance but also flexibly entangle opponents and restrict their movements? Or, you could break the fireball into multiple smaller fireballs and surround the enemy from different directions, making it impossible for them to defend against."

Li Yang's eyes lit up, as if a new world had been opened, and he murmured, "It can be like this..."

“Yes, that’s it.” Warmly looking at him encouragingly, “Innovation is not something that comes out of thin air, but rather something that is based on the existing foundation and adjusted and optimized according to different battle scenarios and the characteristics of the opponents.”

"For example, the 'Earth Shield' spell is generally used to block frontal attacks. But if you turn the earth shield into a trap in battle, letting the enemy fall into it, or turn the earth shield into an earth wall to surround the enemy, wouldn't that have a new use?"

The soldiers nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

“In addition, teamwork is also key to innovation,” Wen Nuan added.

"In training and actual combat, you cooperate with each other, and your spells can spark new ideas. For example, if someone uses 'Ice Prison' to trap an enemy, another person can immediately use 'Lightning Blast' to attack, using the conductivity of ice to enhance the power of lightning."

"At any time, teamwork is more advantageous than going it alone."

Warm eyes shone brightly as she surveyed the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers felt their blood boil and were eager to get started.

Wen Yan looked at his younger sister with pride in his eyes and said loudly, "Everyone heard that! Commander Wen has shown us the way. Now it's up to us to take action!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison, their voices echoing across the training ground.

Afterwards, everyone spontaneously divided into small groups and enthusiastically discussed the possibilities of various spell innovations and combinations, filling the entire training ground with a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

Watching this scene, Wen Nuan smiled with satisfaction. She knew that the base's strength would reach a new level through this kind of innovation and collaboration.

When Number One finished his business there and returned, before he even got close to the training ground, he saw fireballs, ice arrows, and water columns flying in the sky.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy could be felt from a great distance.

"What are these brats doing? Making such a commotion?"

Normally, these guys would complain that training was boring and tedious, so why were they so enthusiastic today? Number One walked quickly toward the training field, full of questions.

Upon closer inspection, they saw four or five people surrounding Wen Yan, but Wen Yan remained calm and composed, nimbly weaving through the dense magical attacks and occasionally using his magic to cleverly counterattack.

His figure was like a ghost, and his spiritual power flickered, yet he was not at a disadvantage.

Number One frowned slightly, about to speak up to stop her, when he saw Wen Nuan standing to the side with her arms crossed, watching the battle with a smile on her face.

Number One leaned closer to Wen Nuan and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are they fighting?"

With a warm smile, Wen Nuan explained, "Commander, this is everyone exchanging and innovating techniques. You see, Li Yang and the others have combined several techniques together and are asking my brother to test the effect."

Number One looked closely and saw Li Yang controlling the simultaneous release of fireballs and ice arrows. The fireballs suddenly split in mid-air, turning into multiple tongues of fire that, in coordination with the ice arrows, attacked Wen Yan from different angles.

The other two used earth magic to create a trap under Wen Yan's feet, while the other used wind magic to disrupt his movement.

Wen Yan shouted loudly as she dodged.

"Li Yang, your combination of fire and ice is good, but the transitions aren't smooth enough and it's easy to make mistakes. And you, Xiao Liu, if you activate the earth trap a little earlier, it will be more effective."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their strategy while continuing their attack.

Although Wen Yan handled the situation with ease, the attacks from the crowd were increasing at a visible rate under such circumstances, causing the warriors watching from the sidelines to exclaim in amazement from time to time.

Number One nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval. "It seems that this kind of practical training is very effective, allowing everyone to grow rapidly through practice."

At this moment, the situation on the field became increasingly intense.

Wen Yan seized the opportunity and his spiritual power erupted instantly, forming a solid spiritual power barrier that blocked all the incoming flames and ice arrows.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed like a black lightning bolt, heading straight for Li Yang and the others.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly cast defensive spells and prepared to respond.

Just as Wen Yan was about to get close, he suddenly changed direction, turned around, and rushed towards the warrior who was controlling wind magic.

The warrior was caught off guard and his movements were cleverly immobilized by Wen Yan's spiritual power.

Wen Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, you can't be distracted on the battlefield. Once the opponent finds a weakness, you may be in danger."

Xiao Feng scratched his head sheepishly, "Commander, I understand!"

As the sparring session came to an end, the soldiers, though panting, had eyes that sparkled with excitement and satisfaction.

At this moment, Wen Nuan smiled and clapped, "Not bad, everyone is indeed very talented. The progress you have made in such a short time is beyond my expectations."

The praise and affirmation from the number one expert greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
