Leon had poured vast resources into everyone, so this level of progress was to be expected. Using breathing techniques to strengthen internal organs early on, supported by nutrient solutions and relentless daily training, they had surpassed human physical limits within two years. Their cardiopulmonary functions had also improved drastically, although eventually, progress from breathing techniques began to slow.
Then, with the introduction of Armament and Observation Haki, they broke past their previous limits once again. Combined with nutrient solutions and costly food supplements, their physical development reached near-monstrous levels within just a few years.
The true game-changer was the super-soldier serum specially crafted by Sky Blade. This serum catalyzed an all-around evolution. Not only did it enhance their physical fitness to monstrous levels, but it also unlocked immense potential within them. As their training intensified, particularly in their prime years, the high-pressure training, especially under Leon and even with Sky Blade's resources, enabled each member to evolve into powerful warriors. It was only natural that they all achieved the rank of generals and became exceptional swordsmen.
But this isn't the end. The future looks bright. With Sky Blade, they have the power to conquer the world. Reaching a godly physique might be challenging for now, as Sky Blade's computing power may eventually fall short. Genetic engineering on this scale isn't straightforward, and Sky Blade can't entirely shoulder the load. But that's a problem for later.
The past three months of intense training went exceptionally well. Each member of the team Leon had formed over the years committed fully, crafting the finest nutrient solutions with Sky Blade's resources and mastering the skills he taught, especially the flying and slashing techniques essential for great swordsmen. They weren't fully refined in their weapon use or swordsmanship at that level, but that's what the last two days of battle were for—a real-life confrontation to unify everything they had learned.
Of course, this seemingly life-or-death battle was actually under Leon's perfect control. His advanced Conqueror Haki, Sky Blade's remote support managed by Keisha, and the relentless attacks from Wanda and the others all created a thrilling scenario. Several times, it seemed as if he might be beheaded or dismembered, but Sky Blade and his own calculations managed everything.
Wanda and the others genuinely thought this was a fight to the death, though. Truth be told, it felt invigorating to stretch his muscles through this intense combat, and it even satisfied a bit of darkness within him.
The three fierce fighters—Wanda, Yuriko, and Natasha—were especially ruthless, though Leon wouldn't have to pay any price for it afterward. After all, the scars on his body were healed by a serum, so even if he wanted to nurse a grudge, there wasn't any trace left. He figured they'd probably thank him in their hearts. The thought brought a smirk to his face.
