But he knew there would certainly be deaths, because the Sky Group could not equal the Dragon Group in skills. He had to face it. It was a pain for the group to grow, just like the pain of giving birth to a baby.

He was prepared, but wanted to lower death rolls as much as possible. It was all on Qin Hao.

"Qin Hao, I want you to lower our cost to the minimum. I don't want any of them to die." Li Zhanwu said with a straight face and a heavy voice.

Qin Hao nodded, "Needless to say. They're your best soldiers and also my students. I won't waste their lives."

"Great." Li Zhanwu got Qin Hao's promise, and was a bit a.s.sured. He said seriously, "Do your best. There'll be high-level officials there to cheer on you."

"Don't do it." Qin Hao said.

"What, you don't want cheering from leaders?" Li Zhanwu was unhappy. It was his temper again, saying no to high-level officials. If it were other people, they would be crazily happy.

Qin Hao ignored him and said seriously, "Old Li, anything can happen tomorrow. Even a dog can bite you when there's a problem, let alone a dragon."

Li Zhanwu froze and said, "You mean the Dragon Group might want to do something to the leaders? Do they dare to do that?"

"You don't know. They might." Qin Hao said, "The Dragon Group knows the higher officials will abandon them, and they did cross the line. The country will no longer tolerate them. The Dragon Group will be eradicated sooner or later, but now is not the time. They know it."

"So they might do something extraordinary tomorrow. If you invite the high-level officials, can you shoulder the responsibility if something happens to them? Remember what happened in the Mu Family today?"

Qin Hao's last line made Li Zhanwu a bit unhappy. He was angry about becoming their hostage so easily. But it had to be this way. In front of a great martial cultivator, he could do nothing with his gun or soldiers.

Well, then the officials really should not come. It was dangerous. They would have to watch it live at home.

"Besides the officials, tell others not to come too. The fewer people, the better." Qin Hao said.

Li Zhanwu frowned and looked at Qin Hao. He felt that Qin Hao was hiding something from him, "Qin Hao, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Qin Hao did not answer directly, and was looking at the night of the city silently, but his expression was getting colder.

"Old Li, Director w.a.n.g hopes that we can scare the Dragon Group, right?" After a while, Qin Hao finally spoke.

"Yes, but..." Li Zhanwu wanted to say it was not possible so he could forget about it.

"Don't worry. I won't let you down tomorrow." Qin Hao said seriously. And Li Zhanwu had to believe that he was not joking.

"Qin Hao, of course, I want you to reach that goal, but..."

"But..." Qin Hao interrupted, "Whatever I do tomorrow, however I do it, I hope you can fully support me. Even if you don't agree, we can discuss later. Is that OK?"

And Qin Hao stared at Li Zhanwu, the light in his eyes was even brighter.

Li Zhanwu looked back at him, and seeing his determination, the fire in his dark eyes. He could even feel Qin Hao's blood boiling in his body.

He could feel the enthusiasm himself as if his own blood was boiling too.

"OK, I promise. I'll do anything for this country."

Li Zhanwu's voice was loud and clear. He knew the country needed time to deal with the Dragon Group, and needed the Sky Group to scare them. As a soldier protecting the country, he was ready to do anything.

"If anything happens, I'll shoulder all the responsibility." Li Zhanwu emphasized.

"OK, thank you for that. I'll fight till the end." The fire in Qin Hao's eyes became bigger.

For Qin Hao, it was not just a battle between the Sky Group and the Dragon Group tomorrow. It was a chance of revenge too.

The Dragon Group sent people to kill him, and involved An Ru, who had helped him. They sent her to jail and confiscated all her properties. After giving it back to her, they did nothing to compensate her.

Qin Hao would not be a man if he could tolerate all this.

Of course, the Dragon Group wanted to revenge to him too, especially Long Taibai.

Qin Hao destroyed the base of the Dragon Group in West Mountain, Chang Hai City, and hurt his dream girl Shadow. Long Taibai would make him pay for it. And he knew Qin Hao was the key person to replace the Dragon Group, so he wanted Qin Hao dead anyway.

It would be a battle of blood tomorrow, instead of just a challenge contest as they had expected.

...

"OK Qin Hao, let's call it a day. I'll go see our boys." Li Zhanwu stopped looking afar.

He wanted to talk to members of the Sky Group before the battle. Although Qin Hao didn't like this kind of talk, the battle tomorrow was no easy matter. Li Zhanwu wanted to talk to them. If something really happened to them, it would be the last chance to say goodbye. So he would want to say a few more words.

Qin Hao nodded. He knew what Li Zhanwu was going to do, and didn't stop him. Tomorrow they might not see each other again, and they had a good reason to spend more time together now.

Li Zhanwu walked down the mountain and Qin Hao left the pavilion too. But he was walking towards the peak of the back mountain.

At the peak of the Cloud Gazing Mountain, there was a tower. But Qin Hao collapsed it, and all the scrubs were cleared away. Now it was a flat area.

He stood there and shook his hand. With a "whoosh" sound, a shadow came out, with the face of a cow and a body of a horse and a tail of a tiger. It was Little Monster, the Earth Spirit Beast.

After coming out, Little Monster bit Qin Hao's trousers and was howling to show its bad mood. It hadn't been let out for a while.

Qin Hao hurriedly stroke its head to comfort it, "Little Monster, sorry about that. Ah, I was too busy to care about you. But you did well in there, and ate a lot, didn't you?"

He knew everything inside the s.p.a.ce Ring, so he knew what it was doing inside there.

Little Monster seemed to understand, and it let go of Qin Hao's trousers after hearing this. It squatted on the ground, raised its head and reached its tongue out. It produced a cute "hahaha" sound, as if it was laughing.

Qin Hao knocked on its head, waved his hand and after a blink of light, a lot of spiritual stones and herbs appeared. Little Monster was excited, but wouldn't eat without Qin Hao's order. So it looked at the food, and looked at Qin Hao, which was really cute.

Qin Hao was amused by its reaction, stroke its furry head, and said with a smile, "Little thing, you always want to eat them right? There you go. I want you to become stronger. Tomorrow we'll fight a strong enemy. Now eat as you like, and hopefully, you'll level up."

And he stood up and let go of Little Monster.

"Aww!" Little Monster immediately threw itself to the spiritual stones and herbs and ate happily with its big mouth. You could hear it chewing loudly.

Qin Hao looked at it and forced a smile and shook his head. He went back and left Little Monster there.

And down there in the base of the Sky Group, Li Zhanwu was delivering his speech before the battle to members of the Sky Group. He was still taking when Qin Hao walked in. After listening for a while, he felt Li Zhanwu was a bit tragic, as if it was his last farewell.

"OK. We have a great battle tomorrow, and I'll let you rest. Go to bed early tomorrow, and do your best in the battle tomorrow."

"Yes!" said the five people led by the Bald Head. They shouted, "Protect the country with our lives and fight the Dragon Group till death!"

They were loud enough to shake the earth and could make people's blood boil.

"Great. I wish you all the best. Salute!"

"Salute!"

They saluted each other and kept their hands at their forehead for quite a while. Their eyes were lit with determination and tragicness of facing a great battle.

At that point, Qin Hao also felt the greatness and determination of soldiers.

He thought of the pilot on the helicopter who died. They could sacrifice themselves and face a tragic death for their goals.

The Bald Head and others were just like them. They were all elites like that.

"Coach Qin, anything you want to say?" Li Zhanwu lowered his hand and asked Qin Hao solemnly.

Qin Hao stood up, nodded and walked ahead to the five people in a row. He looked at them coldly and seriously.

The five stood up straight and were also serious.

Qin Hao looked at them, and blinked when looking at Liu Yan. Her Qi was stronger. Other might not notice but it was so easy for her to see that.

"Liu Yan, you've leveled up?"

After hearing this, others were all surprised and started to stare at Liu Yan.
