Today was February 28th, the last day of the month. Tomorrow would be the next month. That was also the day of the confrontation with the Dragon Group. Due to certain reasons, the time of the battle was adjusted to March 2nd, which was the day after tomorrow.

Today was the day to check the results of their training over the past twenty days.

Qin Hao was satisfied with his progress. In the past few days, when guiding others in cultivation, he had also comprehended many doubts and discovered many flaws in his previous cultivation.

Every time he gained a little bit of comprehension, he would squeeze out more time to cultivate. He would check and fill in the gaps, continually making up for the flaws in his cultivation progress and steadily consolidating his cultivation base.

Right now, he did not dare say that he had utterly consolidated his cultivation of the late period of a third stage Martial Cultivator, but he could guarantee that he would be able to unleash ninety percent of the power of the late period of a third stage Martial Cultivator.

Also, s.h.i.+ Bingying had also achieved excellent results. Under Qin Hao's careful guidance, s.h.i.+ Bingying was promoted from the beginning period of the Perfection Stage to the middle period, and her strength was further consolidated. She was already a middle period of the Perfection Stage under the age of twenty. In this fake Ancient Martial World, if other people were to find out about this, it would cause an uproar among the fake ancient martial sects.

However, the results of the baldy and the others made Qin Hao very regretful and disappointed.

Among the five of them, Liu Yan, who was initially the strongest, did not advance but was still at the early period of Second Stage Martial Cultivator. The progress she did make was that she had consolidated her strength.

The baldy (Ou Ba) had broken through the first stage of Martial Cultivator and stepped into the Second Stage, but he was only at the early stage as a Second Stage Martial Cultivator.

The other three also only made a little progress. Nie Jingshan and w.a.n.g Hanjiang were both at the peak of the first stage Martial Cultivators, and Li Bo was at the late period of first stage Martial Cultivators.

If there was one achievement that made Qin Hao feel gratified, it was that the few of them had pretty good training in martial skills. After going through confrontation training among them, they were all able to use their weapons skillfully.

The difference between this kind of result and Qin Hao's previous expectation was too large, to the point that it was somewhat hard for him to accept.

This time, Li Zhanwu invested a lot, he fulfilled his promise and truly delivered a large amount of cultivation resources, furthermore, compared to the previous resources, these resources were much better, by many times.

Qin Hao himself valued this training because fighting against Dragon Group was not a joke, it required people to risk their lives, so this time he did not embezzle as much as last time but used most of the resources on these few people.

Under such a nurturing with high importance and resources, logically speaking, their progress should have been even greater than before. However, the result was the opposite. Compared to their previous progress, this could only be described as a horrible result.

Qin Hao couldn't understand, why would it be like this?

With the same guidance and greater resources, even s.h.i.+ Bingying was able to break through a level. Why was their progress so slow?

As was known to all, in cultivation, the higher the level is, the more difficult it would be to break through. And Perfection Stage was also the first hurdle for Martial Cultivator's cultivation. Sometimes, the difficulty of breaking through a small level of Perfection Stage was equivalent to the difficulty of a Beginning Stage martial cultivator to break through into the Inner Stage.

However, what was strange was that the difficult achievement was made, while the easier was not. This wasn't scientific. Could it be that because they were too distracted by cultivating martial skills, which slowed their progress?

But s.h.i.+ Bingying was also training her martial skills, how could she achieve such significant progress? For an ordinary Martial Cultivator, breaking through a small stage in the Perfection Stage would take at least ten years. s.h.i.+ Bingying only spent some twenty days. This proved that cultivating martial skills at the same time would not have such a significant impact on the improvement of one's cultivation.

Qin Hao overlooked a problem. It was true that s.h.i.+ Bingying's quick breakthrough was attributed to his guidance and the cultivation resources that Li Zhanwu had delivered, but the most significant contribution was made by the b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King.

Back then, b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King gave s.h.i.+ Bingying a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills. Qin Hao did not know how to use them wisely, and he let s.h.i.+ Bingying used them all in one time. This led to a large amount of Spirit Qi being condensed and unable to be digested in s.h.i.+ Bingying's veins. In the past few days, with Qin Hao's help, s.h.i.+ Bingying had been continuously digesting the condensed Spirit Qi, so it was within reason that she could advance a little.

Another thing Qin Hao was ignoring was that he could not compare s.h.i.+ Bingying with the baldy and the others because the two cultivation techniques they were training in were completely different. The baldy and the others were cultivating the techniques that came from the Spirit Martial Continent in Qin Hao's mind, while s.h.i.+ Bingying was cultivating in the cultivation techniques from the Martial Cultivators of this world.

Maybe it was because those intimately involved could not see, Qin Hao couldn't think of these questions, he was currently troubled over how to explain it to Li Zhanwu.

Back then, he and Li Zhanwu had an agreement that Li Zhanwu would be responsible for providing the cultivation resources, and Qin Hao must train at least one Perfection Stage Expert.

Now he hadn't achieved anything in this sense. According to the ranks of Martial Cultivators in this world, the strongest Liu Yan and the baldy were only at the early period of the Inner Stage, which was thousands of miles away from the Perfection Stage. If Li Zhanwu knew of this result, it would be weird if he didn't vomit blood.

Of course, the result was already like this, and this was the fact. If Li Zhanwu wanted to vomit blood, Qin Hao, would not be able to do anything.

Right now, Qin Hao didn't have the time to think about the matter of Li Zhanwu vomiting blood. He had to think about the life and death battle that would occur the day after tomorrow.

The few of them were not that strong, but their cultivation of martial skills was good. Furthermore, the weapons they used were not ordinary ones, each of them was the weapons of an expert of the Spirit Stage, and the martial skills they cultivated was not something the martial skills of this world could compare with. As long as they were able to use them well in the battle, defeating their opponents wouldn't be impossible. It would depend on how they played on the battlefield.

To make them display their best during the battle the day after tomorrow, Qin Hao didn't want to blame them for anything now. If it were before, with such little progress, he would have scolded them severely.

Because of this, when Qin Hao stood in front of the group of six in the training ground, not only did he not scold them, he even gave them some words of encouragement, which increased their confidence a lot.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. I won't say anything else. Everyone, don't feel too much pressure, the Dragon Group isn't anything to be afraid of, the things that we cultivate are way more advanced than them. I allow you guys two days off, today and tomorrow, so everyone could go down to relax and prepare for the battle of the day after tomorrow. Remember, return to the base tomorrow night, and fight in the arena the day after tomorrow."

When Qin Hao finished speaking this, these people were extremely excited, Li Bo was the first to shout, "Long live the instructor."

These last days of hard cultivation were hard for this computer genius. He hadn't touched his computer for more than 20 days. For someone who treated the computer as his wife, this was a painful thing to do. This time, when he went back, he had to touch his beloved computer as much as he wanted.

Everyone immediately dismissed in joy; only Liu Yan seemed to have something substantial on her mind; her expression was slightly downcast and walked slowly behind.

"Liu Yan." Seeing Liu Yan like that, Qin Hao couldn't help but stop her.

Hearing Qin Hao's call from behind, Liu Yan turned around as if she was shocked by electricity and stood straight like a soldier, "Here, Instructor."

Qin Hao walked over, and when his eyes met Liu Yan's, Liu Yan dodged and slowly lowered her head.

Seeing Liu Yan like this, Qin Hao sighed in his heart, but his face could only reveal an encouraging smile, "Don't be under too much pressure, go back and relax. Believe in yourself; you will definitely be able to do it."

"Yes, instructor." Liu Yan straightened her back and gave a standard military salute, "Instructor, I'm going."

"Hum, go ahead." Qin Hao nodded, with a look of regret in his eyes. Among them, her talent was the highest, but why didn't she improve at all?

"What a pity." Only when Liu Yan was far away did Qin Hao finally sigh regretfully.

"Hao, what was a pity?" s.h.i.+ Bingying walked over from behind and asked with concern.

Qin Hao smiled bitterly, "She is very talented, but unfortunately, for some unknown reason, she has not improved at all this time."

"That's because she has something on her mind, so it has affected her progress." s.h.i.+ Bingying's answer made Qin Hao understand something.

"I know. Sometimes, the more outstanding a person is, the greater the pressure they would feel. I think the problem she had was pressure." Qin Hao guessed to himself.

"Humph, you really don't understand girls' hearts." s.h.i.+ Bingying scoffed.

Qin Hao smiled bitterly; everyone said that a woman's heart is as deep as the sea, how could he understand?

"What kind of girl's thoughts does she have?" Qin Hao asked casually.

s.h.i.+ Bingying walked in front of Qin Hao, staring at him with her watery eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Hao was curious.

"Can't you see that she likes you?" s.h.i.+ Bingying's question stunned Qin Hao.

"Uh, what did you say? She likes me?" Qin Hao's mouth opened widely, and then he rolled his eyes, "How is that possible?"

"What's impossible? I'm a woman. I know what women are thinking. It's all caused by you." With that, s.h.i.+ Bingying rolled her eyes at Qin Hao. She looked so pampered like a little girl, and there was no trace of the icy beauty from before.

Qin Hao looked at s.h.i.+ Bingying's cute look of a little girl and couldn't help but to suddenly hug the girl's soft body.

"Ah, what are you doing?" s.h.i.+ Bingying shouted in shock.

"Hey-hey, can't you see it? Because you spout nonsense, the punishment is that you let me carry you down the mountain."

"No, many people will see it."

"Let them see and envy. Hha …" Qin Hao laughed heartily as he carried s.h.i.+ Bingying down the mountain. Since others had gone to relax during the holidays, he would naturally go on holidays as well.

"Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"

"Hahaha …"

On Cloud Gazing Mountain's, the only thing that rang out was the couple's flirting voice.

On the mountain, Liu Yan heard the laughter of the couple gradually disappearing from the top of the mountain. Even when she could no longer hear them, she still stood there in a daze, looking at the direction in which they had left.

Behind her, w.a.n.g Hanjiang walked over without saying anything. Being an introverted person, he rarely took the initiative like this; no one knows how much courage he put into this step.

"Liu Yan. Are you alright? " w.a.n.g Hanjiang walked behind Liu Yan and gathered his courage as he asked softly.

Liu Yan was disturbed by this. She turned around and saw that it was w.a.n.g Hanjiang, so she replied indifferently, "I'm fine. I'm going to pack my stuff. " With that, she turned and left, not even showing the slightest intention of talking to w.a.n.g Hanjiang.

"Liu Yan?" w.a.n.g Hanjiang suddenly shouted, even he did not know where this courage came from.

Liu Yan stopped and turned around, her expression cold and indifferent, "What is it?"

w.a.n.g Hanjiang hesitated, but then gritted his teeth and said, "I know you like the instructor, but I hope you can recognize the reality, only Miss s.h.i.+ can match the instructor."

"What are you trying to say?" Liu Yan's expression became colder than before.

"I, I want to say, I like you. We are the best match." The words that had been held in his heart for so many years finally came out, and w.a.n.g Hanjiang was ready to risk everything. What needed to be confessed would eventually be confessed, and a man would pursue boldly the woman he liked.

Unexpectedly, a strange smile formed on Liu Yan's lips, "Sorry, I don't like you. Besides the instructor, I don't want anyone else. There's only the Instructor in my heart. "

"Why is that?" w.a.n.g Hanjiang rushed forward a few steps, his mood agitated, "I know, I can't compare to the instructor, but the instructor already has Miss s.h.i.+, why are you still insisting?"

"You won't understand it." At this moment, she recalled the scene from that day: She was hung on a high rack by the Dragon Group, the whip ruthlessly lashed on her delicate body. When she was in despair, when she thought that she was going to die, she thought of that familiar figure in the depth of her heart. That person had suddenly appeared at her most dangerous moment. He was like a hero in a fairy tale, suddenly arriving at her side in that moment of life and death, giving her hope of living, giving her another life. At the same time, he had also opened her heart, capturing that heart that had once been frozen.

Other people wouldn't understand this, and of course, she wouldn't tell others about it. It's a memory belonged to her, and feelings that she would linger on.

"It's not that I don't understand, it's that you don't understand." w.a.n.g Hanjiang's courage had exploded entirely today. He still didn't give up and wanted to continue, "You insist on loving the instructor, is there any meaning to that? Unless you surpa.s.s Miss s.h.i.+ in some way. But in terms of appearance and cultivation, how could you possibly surpa.s.s her? You can't, so you'll never have a chance to make the instructor fall in love with you. Can you wake up a bit more? "

These words seemed to have enlightened Liu Yan. She lowered her head in thought and muttered to herself, "Appearance, and martial arts? I was born with my appearance, so I can't surpa.s.s her, but as for martial art, it's something that can be cultivated. I must beat her in this, I must." As she spoke further, her tone was firm, and the look in her eyes was so brave that no one could move. At this moment, even her pace was incomparably resolute.

It was because of her determination this time that she would be able to achieve glory in martial art in the future. It also created the glory of blood in the fighting against the Dragon Group.
