"Director, what's going on?"
The old man let out a long sigh, "About the matter of 'Dragon Group' targeting you." Following that, the old man then explained in detail about the conditions that the Dragon Group members had mentioned to their superiors.
After hearing all that, Li Zhanwu was furious. Even in front of this old man, he still stood up angrily, pounding the table and roaring, "Shameless, extremely shameless. The interests of the entire Chinese nation were used by them as bargaining chips to threaten us. They are just a bunch of despicable, shameless scums. "
"Alas …" The old man sighed helplessly, "Little Li, even the superiors are very angry with the Dragon Group. They are treating the interests of the country like child's play. However, we have to admit that Dragon Group has seized an excellent opportunity this time. Brot Islands' oil resources are too enticing and are way too important to us. "
Hearing that, Li Zhanwu's heart trembled: "Director, could it be that the superiors have accepted the conditions of the Dragon Group?"
Director Wang did not nod or shake his head. He only exhaled, and with a slightly worried expression, he said: "The superiors are in disagreement. Some say that we cannot compromise with the Dragon Group, or else they will become even more ambitious and arrogant in the future. However, more people feel that giving up Brot Islands' oil resources just for Qin Hao is not worth it. Because of the disagreement, it's hard for the superiors to make any decision. Moreover, it's been delayed for a month already."
"Director, didn't they ask for me to be removed? For the benefit of China, I, Li Zhanwu, am willing to die for it, not to mention taking off my military uniform. I can make the sacrifice, but Qin Hao must be kept. "
The old man waved his hand and advised, "Little Li, don't be too stubborn sometimes. Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to you. If someone were to really lay a hand on you, even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will fight till the end. However, Qin Hao... " Before the old man could finish his words, Li Zhanwu, who was overeager interrupted him.
"Director, you can't. We will have our own Martial Cultivator's power only if we have Qin Hao here, and things like being threatened by the Dragon Group wouldn't happen again. " Li Zhanwu was excited.
Director Wang nodded in agreement, "You are right, but it will take too long for Qin Hao's Sky Group to replace the Dragon Group. Not everyone will have the patience to wait. Not everyone will be willing to give up on the oil resources in front of them. Unless we don't need the Dragon Group for the Martial Competition, and we have someone else we can send. However, other than the Dragon Group, who else can we send? Qin Hao's Sky Group? "
Li Zhanwu's body trembled as he heard the last sentence. A bold idea immediately came to his mind, causing him to become even more excited suddenly. "Director, that's not totally impossible."
A light flashed in the old man's eyes. "What did you say? How is this possible? One month has already passed, and there are only two months left before the Martial Competition. In such a short period, what kind of fighting strength can the Sky Group have? Not much different from an average person, I think. "
"No, sir, listen to me." Li Zhanwu did not allow the old man to explain anything further, and immediately told him in detail about the results of his assessment of the Sky Group.
Hearing Li Zhanwu's explanation, the old man was stunned. He knew more about the Martial Cultivators than Li Zhanwu, and he knew what the peak of Beginning Stage and the early period of the Inner Stage meant. To be honest, he did not believe what Li Zhanwu had said.
"Little Li, you, are you speaking the truth?" The old man looked at Li Zhanwu with doubt in his eyes.
"Director, Elder Wang, I, Li Zhanwu, would never dare to lie to you. Since when have I ever dared to lie to you?" Li Zhanwu said solemnly.
The old man nodded. It was indeed the case that Li Zhanwu would never dare to lie to him. Immediately, he believed in this a bit more, and the expression on his face became agitated.
"In that case, Little Li, come with me and tell the superiors about this situation. Moreover, let Qin Hao make good use of the remaining two months to train the Sky Group, and provide him with as many resources as he wants for the cultivation. "
"Okay, director, I'll do it. Come, let's go to meet the superiors now." Li Zhanwu didn't wait for the old man's reply and had already rushed over to help him up.
The old man was helpless and could only scold "Little Li" for being rushing.
… …
On the Cloud Gazing Mountain, in the conference room of the Base of the Sky Group, Qin Hao gathered all five members.
"Everyone, listen up. I have some matters to attend to so I have to leave for a few days. In the few days that I'm not here, all of you must take the medicinal herbs that I've concocted and cultivate diligently." Now that Qin Hao had broken through to the Third Stage Martial Cultivator. He was ready to solve a knot in his heart. That is, to go to Chang Hai City to fulfill his promise to An Ru and cure her mother's illness. He had quite a lot of Blood Core Grass now.
If this knot in his heart remained unsolved, it would adversely affect his comprehension of the cultivation realm in the future. This kind of influence would gradually expand as his cultivation level increased, eventually making it difficult for him to cultivate.
Up till now, he still did not know what kind of changes that An Ru had gone through and where she was.
"Instructor, where are you going?" The computer genius Li Bo, who was wearing glasses, could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Qin Hao stared at him and said with a stern expression: "If you guys have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask, but for the other questions that I do not want to answer, do not ask randomly. Do you understand?"
"Uh, uh. yes, instructor." Li Bo stuck out his tongue and shrunk his head. Although he was a lot older than this instructor, he was powerful enough to be an instructor after all. Moreover, towards this young instructor, he had some respect in his heart, since Qin Hao's terrifying strength was already there.
Another thing was that Qin Hao was an instructor who lacked patience and was strict with his words. He would mercilessly curse anyone who did not understand even after repeating the question a few times, or if anybody did not do well with a cultivation art. He had cursed quite a few people in the past month. Even Liu Yan, the female student, was no exception.
"Li Bo, it's not that I want to say it, but you are the weakest of you five." Since Li Bo took the lead, Qin Hao started to criticize him by name, "I don't object if you like to play computer, but the cultivation cannot be delayed. If you don't break through the middle period of the First Stage next month, I'll smash your computer. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Instructor, I will work hard." Li Bo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly nodded his head to answer. He secretly regretted it in his heart. He shouldn't have asked that question just now.
After teaching Li Bo a lesson, he turned to look at the bald Ou Ba. The baldy's heart trembled, and he scolded in his heart, 'Fuck Li Bo! Just because you are long-tongued, now I am being reprimanded as well!'
"Baldy, you are the leader of the group, and you should be the model. Look at you, Liu Yan already entered into the Second Stage before you, and you are still in the First Stage. Don't feel shameful? Also, next month, if you still can't break through to the Second Stage, you should just find a piece of tofu and crash yourself to death. " Qin Hao taught him a lesson mercilessly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Instructor, I will work hard." Baldy nodded repeatedly.
"It's not that you will work hard; it's that you must work hard." Qin Hao said with an emphatic tone.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will work hard and ensure that I do not disappoint you, instructor." The baldy promised loudly.
Qin Hao looked at Nie Jingshan and Wang Hanjiang in the end. Nie Jingshan's blackface twitched, and he roared inwardly: Li Bo, I wanted to beat you to death!
The quiet Wang Hanjiang, who was still silent at this moment, had full of shame on his face. Although he was usually taciturn, he was the most anxious person in his heart. Seeing both the baldy and Liu Yan surpassing him, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Especially when Liu Yan, whom he secretly loved, was standing so far away from him, causing him to feel even more suffocated. The further the distance between him and Liu Yan, the more unqualified he would be to chase after her. Therefore, he swore in his heart that he would work even harder and catch up to Liu Yan's footsteps.
"I don't need to talk about the two of you. Your goal is to reach the peak of the First Stage next month."
"Yes, instructor." Wang Hanjiang suddenly stood up and firmly said, "Instructor, I promise that I will complete the mission. I will succeed in one month, or I will die trying." Men had to face the danger of death and fight to live.
Nie Jingshan was shocked by Wang Hanjiang's behavior. Damn it, he did not want to die, but since Wang Hanjiang had stood up and expressed his stance, he was too embarrassed to sit there without moving. So, he stood up and said, "Instructor, I also promise that I will succeed in one month, or I will die trying."
"Eh." It was Qin Hao's turn to sweat. Was it that serious? Fuck. However, it was a good thing that they were so determined, for which they deserve to be praised.
"Very good, then I'll have to see how you guys will perform in a month." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he told them to sit down and turned to face Liu Yan.
Liu Yan didn't wait for Qin Hao to speak and she stood up with a "whoosh". "Instructor, I will definitely be on my guard against arrogance and continue working hard so that next month I can …"
"Err … I want to say that you should accompany me this time and go outside to gain some experience. " Qin Hao interrupted Liu Yan who was about to say something.
Liu Yan was startled at first, but then overjoyed, "Yes, Instructor."
When Wang Hanjiang heard that Liu Yan was going to go out with Qin Hao and that Liu Yan even had a happy look on her face, he felt even more uncomfortable. He bit his lips and secretly swore to himself that one day, he would surpass Qin Hao as an instructor and snatch the woman he liked.
Qin Hao asked Liu Yan to go out with him, just because he thought that Liu Yan had broken through to the Second Stage, and should go out and gain some experience. It would be more beneficial for her abilities. He happened to have something to deal with, so he decided to take her with him, with no bad intentions towards her. However, he did not think that this would lead Wang Hanjiang to swear to surpass him.
After instructing them on some matters, Qin Hao brought Liu Yan out of the Cloud Gazing Mountain and returned to his place in the safe community.
Qin Hao and Liu Yan were sent by a special army car to the entrance of the safe community. When the two of them got off, they found that the guard room was crowded with a bunch of military wives who were shouting at the doorkeeper. They did not know what they were shouting about.
The guard who was guarding the door was standing there with his head held high, and his chest puffed out, looking straight ahead with a severe expression, turning a deaf ear to the noise coming from the guardhouse behind him.
Suddenly, the guard saw a young man and a young woman in military uniforms walking towards him. He saw the shoulder mark on the man's military uniform. A major General? He thought he saw wrong. Was there a major general this young? Impossible. Maybe it was an illusion.
