Chapter 140 Who said that women were inferior to men?

Hearing their shouts, Li Zhanwu immediately turned to look at the top of the mountain. It was at least a few hundred meters away, and the mountain top was covered with dust. He could not even see their figures; how did they figure it out? It seemed that the strength of these five was different from the past.

"Qin Hao is up there?" Li Zhanwu asked anxiously.

"Yes, General. Protect the General. I'll go up and take a look. "Ou Ba ordered, turned into a shadow and rushed up like wind. Li Zhanwu opened his mouth wide in shock. He was very clear about Ou Ba's strength. Although Ou Ba was among the strongest in the special troop Eagle force, compared to captain Han Meng, the strongest one, his strength was still lacking by several levels. But now, let alone other things, just his speed alone was already far above Han Meng's.

Qin Hao was indeed extraordinary. It was worth to use up so many resources. In an in-stant, Li Zhanwu felt much better.

"Instructor, are you alright?" Ou Ba rushed to the top of the mountain and asked Qin Hao, who was rushing out of the dust cloud, with a bit of worry.

Qin Hao patted the dust on his body and said with a calm tone: "I'm fine. Li Zhanwu is here?" Qin Hao's Spirit Sense had already reached the radius of a thousand meters. He was able to investigate the situation at the foot of the mountain. Li Zhanwu could not hide from his Spirit Sense.

"Err …" Ou Ba wiped the sweat off his shiny head. Li Zhanwu was the general they re-spected the most, only Qin Hao dared to call him by his name directly.

"Yes, yes, instructor." Ou Ba replied after having wiped his sweat.

Qin Hao nodded his head. He did not look at Li Zhanwu, who was climbing up the moun-tain but instead stared at the pile of ruins as if he was thinking of something.

After a long while, he mumbled, "The slope is high here, and the air is good, a pretty good place to build a cultivation tower, but you'll have to build it firmly." These words seemed to be spoken to Ou Ba, but also himself.

"Qin Hao, what on earth are you doing?" Li Zhanwu finally came up. His legs were ach-ing, and his forehead was still dripping with sweat. However, he did not pant. Managing to climb such a steep slope at such a fast speed without panting, he could be consid-ered a true hero just like he used to be.

Actually, Li Zhanwu was holding back; otherwise, he would have already been gasping for breath. The few soldiers around him were not panting, neither were they sweating a single drop, as if climbing up here was like taking a walk. Seeing this, he was too shame-ful to pant.

Hearing Li Zhanwu's voice, Qin Hao turned and walked over with a smile, "Ho-ho, Gen-eral, you are not young anymore. If you have any need, ask me to go down. You don't have to climb up here."

"Don't worry; I'm not old yet. I still have plenty of strength." Li Zhanwu was unconvinced, looking at Qin Hao's smiling face, feeling like he was ridiculing him for being old.

After having finished speaking, Li Zhanwu took a deep breath, calmed his breathing first, and then looked towards the pile of ruins, saying with dissatisfaction: "You aren't properly training the members of Sky Group, and came here to collapse this tower, you…" For a moment, he didn't know what to say to Qin Hao.

However, Qin Hao crooked his nose and said disapprovingly: "It's just a broken tower. Let it be. You came at the right time, I am planning on building a fifty-story tower for cul-tivation, but it must be a hundred times stronger than the previous one. "

"A tower of fifty floors and a hundred times stronger than the previous one? Do you think you can get it done just by talking?" Li Zhanwu did not bother with Qin Hao's sug-gestion, "We'll talk about the matter of the tower later. Today, I am here to verify your training results for the past month. You used up half of the storage room's cultivation resource, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. "

"Hmph." Qin Hao snorted, his face suddenly darkened as he bellowed: "Sky Group, line up!"

With a sound of "phfft", the five members lined up neatly in a speed of "second." This speed surprised Li Zhanwu yet again.

"General Li, how do you want to test their strength?" After they finished lining up, Qin Hao asked Li Zhanwu.

Li Zhanwu frowned, he was an ordinary person thus did not know how to test their strength, but he knew that there were different realms for Martial Cultivators, so he said: "You should first tell me what realm they have cultivated to."

"Realm?" Qin Hao shook his head, "What I taught them was different from ancient mar-tial arts. Their ranks were 1, 2, 3, and up till 8. If you want to classify them by the realms of Ancient Martial Arts, then Rank Eight is equivalent to the eighth realm of Martial Culti-vators. However, should the numbers be equal, their fighting strength would be two or even three times stronger than Ancient Martial Arts. "

Li Zhanwu didn't believe the last sentence of Qin Hao so much. As the saying went, every potter praised his pot, and no one would say that their things weren't compelling. Anyway, Li Zhanwu didn't understand it, but it was impossible to trick him. Whether they were powerful or not, it would be clear when they got a chance to fight.

"Then tell me what ranks they are at now." Li Zhanwu bit his "level" relentlessly, and he only knew how to evaluate a Martial Cultivator with this standard.

"Liu Yan, step forward." Qin Hao shouted.

"Here!" Liu Yan's clear and melodious voice came out. This woman who was already outstanding before now looked even more exceptional, with a hint of ethereal elegance, like a fairy. She was even more lethal for men. Li Zhanwu hadn't noticed her earlier, but now that his attention focused on Liu Yan, he too stared blankly. After all, he was a man.

"Liu Yan, an early Second Stage Martial Cultivator, equivalent to an early Inner Stage of ancient martial art, with combat power that can contend against a middle Beginning Stage of ancient martial arts." Qin Hao explained loudly.

He was delighted with Liu Yan. Amongst the five of them, she had the best aptitude and talent and was also the most hardworking one.

Of course, besides her talent and hard work, more importantly, she was able to do it with the help of the exclusive medicinal soup that Qin Hao had concocted. If it were a con-ventional cultivation method that she adopted, no matter how high her talent was, it would take at least a few years for her to reach this stage.

Li Zhanwu's complete set of cultivation resources also helped a lot. Otherwise, even if Qin Hao could concoct the best medicinal soup, without any resources, it would be use-less. Nobody can make a fist with no hand.

"Baldy, step out." The baldy had already restored his name as Ou Ba, but Qin Hao had gotten used to calling him "baldy", "Peak of the first rank, equivalent to the peak of Be-ginning Stage of ancient martial art."

"Nie Jingshan, Wang Hanjiang, later stage of the first rank, equivalent to later Beginning Stage of ancient martial art, with a combat strength comparable to the peak of Beginning Stage. "

"Li Bo, medium stage of the first rank, equivalent to the middle Beginning Stage of an-cient martial arts, with a combat strength that can rival even the peak of the Beginning Stage."

Qin Hao introduced the five people's realms one by one. Li Zhanwu was very satisfied with the results, much to his surprise. He was so happy that he could help but get excit-ed.

One month, only one month.

He had heard about the difficulty of ancient martial arts cultivation. Within one month, even if there were a lot of cultivation resources, it would be good enough to reach the Beginning Stage. Initially, his biggest hope was that someone would be able to reach the middle of the Beginning Stage in a month.

But he never expected that even the worst of them had reached the middle of the Be-ginning Stage, and there was also one that had already reached the Inner Stage. Even a genius would need more than a year to cultivate to the Inner Stage, and most people would need a few years or even dozens of years. It was simply impossible for them to reach the Inner Stage in a month.

To a certain extent, the Sky Group had already formed a fighting strength. Previously, he thought that it would at least take a few years before they would have any fighting strength. He never thought that this day would come so quickly, and it wouldn't need to take a few years.

"Qin Hao, is what you said true? Are, are they so powerful?" Li Zhanwu was so excited that his voice was trembling. It would be exciting if he reported the results to a higher level.

Qin Hao knew that it would be hard to believe if he did not reveal something concrete. He turned around and looked at the forest behind him, and ordered solemnly: "Liu Yan, do you see those ten big trees? I will give you ten seconds, and ten seconds later, I must see them all fallen."

"Yes." Liu Yan answered. Before her voice had vanished in the air, she had already rushed into the forest. One could tell how fast she was.

Li Zhanwu stared at Liu Yan's figure and didn't even clearly see how she made her move. He could only see a figure having flashed over and back, and those trees in the forest were still standing there.

Seeing that there was no movement from the big trees, Li Zhanwu was about to say something, and then he heard loud sounds. The big trees fell one after another, leaving him dumbstruck. These trees were all ancient. Liu Yan was a weak woman, without any weapon, yet just like that, she caused all the trees to collapse like straw. It seemed even easier than eating.

Seeing the ten trees fall to the ground, not only was Li Zhanwu shocked, but even the others were also slightly surprised that "second rank" was this powerful. There was al-ready such a big gap between them and the girl. Who said that women were inferior to men? Now the fact was that this woman was stronger than men, how could the other four men endure this? In a moment, Liu Yan's performance had aroused their desire to advance.

"General Li, do you want to continue?" Qin Hao smiled and asked Li Zhanwu, who was so shocked that his mouth was wide opened, and did not even seem like a general.

"Ah, ah!" Li Zhanwu came back to his senses, "No, there's no need. I believe it, I com-pletely believe it. Qin Hao, I didn't misjudge you, I love you too much. Ha-ha-ha-ha."

This time, it was Qin Hao who felt goosebumps all over his body because of Li Zhanwu's "I love you too much", so were the people around.

"Alright, alright. I'll report it immediately. I'll go right away." He did go immediately, seem-ing impatient to wait.

Li Zhanwu hurried back to his own office from Mountain Wangyun and prepared to write a detailed report on the brilliant training results of the "Sky Group". But the moment he pushed open the door to the office, he discovered that there was already a person in-side and Yu Lianshu was accompanying him.

Yu Lianshu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhanwu return, and anxiously said: "General, Director Wang has come to see you."

Director Wang was an old man who was around 60 years old. He was not a common old man.

"Director, what brought you here?" Li Zhanwu hurried forward and shook hands with the old man.

After shaking hands, Director Wang smiled warmly, "Little Li, I heard that you are work-ing very hard recently, so I came here specifically to visit you." In front of him, Li Zhanwu could only be considered a little fellow.

"Ha-ha, thank you, Director. Please take a seat." Li Zhanwu hastily invited the old man to sit down.

"General, Director, you continue chatting. I still have something to deal with." Seeing that the main character had returned, Yu Lianshu tactfully retreated.

After Yu Lianshu left, the smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, "Little Li, I have something significant to tell you today."

"Ho-ho, Director, I just happen to have something to tell you." Li Zhanwu was talking about the "Sky Group" matter. He was still excited and did not notice the change in the old man's expression.

The old man waved his hand, "Let's talk about your matter later. You should listen to me first."

"Yes, yes." In front of the old man, Li Zhanwu did not dare to act rashly, "Director, please speak first."

"I hope you are prepared for this." When Director Wang said this, his expression be-came heavy and worried.

This time, Li Zhanwu noticed the change in the old man's expression and was slightly shocked in his heart. People like the old man always stay calm, yet the change of his expression was so visible, did a critical thing happen? Li Zhanwu faintly felt a sense of unease.

"Director, what exactly is... is it?"
