Qin Hao gave everyone a vacation, but Liu Yan did not go to rest like others. She continued to stay in the base to cultivate and as a result, she made a breakthrough that she hadn't made for a long time.

Martial cultivation could be very unpredictable. Maybe a cultivator could not break through for years, but when his mentality changed or he comprehended something, he would overcome that obstacle in a moment and made a breakthrough.

Liu Yan changed in mentality. She moved on and hid her mind in the bottom of her heart, so as to make a breakthrough.

Hearing that Liu Yan progressed, the rest of the team members were envious of her. The Baldy secretly encouraged himself to breakthrough to a second-stage martial cultivator of the middle period as early as possible. He was now left behind a small level by Liu Yan.

"Good." Qin Hao slightly nodded his head and said nothing else. He turned to the topic and looked serious, "I think General Li had told you everything. You all understand the significance of tomorrow's battle. I have no more words, and just want to teach you the last move. I hope you can put it in good use."

Realizing that Qin Hao was going to teach them a new move, the team immediately focused on Qin Hao, being afraid to be left behind by teammates too much.

Under their gaze, Qin Hao took a slender silver needle from his waist and showed it to them.

"A needle?" The Sky Group members were puzzled: What could they do with such a small needle?

"This silver needle is what I use to cure the disease as well as to kill the enemies." Qin Hao introduced earnestly, "When I first went out, I used this tiny needle to kill the enemies under their noses. Now I will teach you how to use it. As for how much you can learn and how proficiency you will depend on your own ability. Perfect yourself in using this needle, and you can have one more way to save your lives tomorrow. ”

Then, Qin Hao taught them how to use a silver needle.

Don't underestimate this tiny thing. Making good use of it tasked skills. The needle was too small and light that throwing it out for some distance was difficult. Without proper skill, it would be blown away by the wind, hence lost its lethality.

...

"Woo--, woo--!"

When Qin Hao was teaching his team to use the silver needle, an earthshaking noise sounded like a wolf howling came from outside the base.

Everyone changed their faces because of the horrible wolf howls. When they were going to react, Qin Hao stopped them. He told them calmly, "It is Little Monster in the promotion, so don't make a fuss. You go back and practice, and I'll go out to have a look."

"Yes." The team followed Qin Hao's order and left after response.

Watching them went out, Li Zhanwu felt he should also leave. It was late today, so he should go to rest. No matter how dangerous tomorrow would be, he must be at the scene. That was his mission of being a soldier.

"We'll count on you tomorrow, Qin Hao." Before leaving, Li Zhanwu pinned all his hopes on Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded, "Rest a.s.sured, Old Li. I will try my best to protect them. But... you don't have to be there tomorrow.”

Li Zhanwu smiled, "I must go. Remember, I am also a member of the Sky Group. I am always with you."

Looking at Li Zhanwu's resolute smile, Qin Hao stopped persuading him, “Well, be more careful. And I suggest you report to the superior to prepare for all emergencies, and clear up all the sites around the arena in case.”

Li Zhanwu nodded seriously, "Fine, I will do this. Well, go back to rest. I am leaving.”

"Okay."

Looking at Li Zhanwu's back, at this moment, Qin Hao realized that the blood of this middle-aged soldier did not completely cool down.

Now everyone had left, and Qin Hao glanced at the empty conference room, then stepped out and went straight to the back hill where Little Monster got promoted.

On the peak of the back hill, a person had already arrived. It was s.h.i.+ Bingying.

She was simply a peripheral member of the Sky Group, so she did not have to attend their meetings. When she heard the wolf howling, she guessed that it might be Little Monster, so she came immediately. It was indeed the Little Monster.

By the time Qin Hao arrived, Little Monster had been comforted by s.h.i.+ Bingying. It stopped howling and was circling around her, happily shaking its tail

.

Seeing Qin Hao arrived, Little Monster screamed and pounced onto him. Its tail swayed with more delight, like a home-bred cute dog.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Little Monster jumped at Qin Hao, exhaling hot breath and stretching its tone to lick Qin Hao's face. It used to show intimacy and express his grat.i.tude to Qin Hao in this way.

Qin Hao smiled and pressed its head down. Touching its head and observed carefully, Qin Hao smiled with satisfaction.

"Fine, buddy, you are really promoted."

Little Monster's fur was s.h.i.+nier, and its two corners were sharper. At the root of the corner there appeared the second zebra line. Qin Hao guessed it might be the symbol of the second-stage spirit beasts. He did not know well of the level of the beasts.

A second-stage spirit beast was not rare. There were many second-stage spirit beasts in the real Ancient Martial World, and in those ancient martial sects, most of their spirit beats were higher than the second stage. However, a second-stage earth spirit beast was absolutely rare, even in the real Ancient Martial World.

"Hao, you are here. This little guy is really excited." s.h.i.+ Bingying came over. The cold expression ever on her face had faded. Now she slowly came by with a smile that could attract all the people on the world, with her voice soft and tender.

Qin Hao looked up. Watching his peerless woman coming to him. He also showed a warm smile.

"Thanks to you, or this guy would make much more noise."

"Don't thank me, Little Monster is very cute, isn't it?" s.h.i.+ Bingying rubbed Little Monster's head.

Little Monster seemed to understand her words. It happily exhaled hot breath with "ha ha ha" sounds.

"Buddy, go play yourself. You have an hour to play, and we will fight together tomorrow." Qin Hao waved his hand. Little Monster jumped with a whoosh and disappeared in the jungle nearby, like a phantom in the night. It did not care what it would encounter tomorrow.

The two watched Little Monster disappeared in the jungle in the dark, the smile on s.h.i.+ Bingying's face disappeared. She looked at Qin Hao with slight worry. "Hao, is it a life-or-death battle tomorrow?"

Although she did not attend the meeting, she could also hear some words at the door of the conference room due to her strength.

Qin Hao drew back his eyes from the jungle. His smile slowly disappeared and solemn and serious replaced it.

He held s.h.i.+ Bingying's soft hand with his big hand, gently embracing that delicate body, he said: "Ying, stay at home tomorrow, okay?"

"No, I want to be with you, no matter how dangerous it will be. As long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of death.” Her response was so unflinching without hesitation.

The next moment, Qin Hao held her soft and tender body tighter, as if he was afraid of suddenly losing her.

"Fine, no matter how dangerous it will be, we will face it together. However, you should pay more attention to protecting yourself tomorrow.”

"I will, and you too."

"I know."

In the dark, the two embraced silently. They just hugged and did nothing else, but the atmosphere was like they were going to melt their blood into each other's body.

At this moment, an ill-timed voice came. For their strength they had heard it at distance, but they could do nothing but stand apart.

A stocky figure walked out of the darkness under the mountain, holding a box in his hand. It was Nie Jingshan.

"Report!"

Nie Jingshan finally found Qin Hao, he stood nearby and saluted.

Qin Hao turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at him, calmly asked, "Come here. What's up?"

Nie Jingshan came over, hands holding the box and handed it to Qin Hao, "Drillmaster. I nearly forgot this. My grandfather asked me to give this to you for your mercy to my third brother Nie Jingzhong. It is pa.s.sed down from my ancestors. It might be helpful.”

Qin Hao looked at the box: d.a.m.n it. Was he bribing me?

"Jingshan, what are you doing? For me, the trouble Nie Jingzhong made was trivial, so you don't need to give me your heirloom. Take it back." Although he was much younger than Nie Jingshan, Qin Hao preached with a tone of elder, as if he was an adult while Nie Jingshan was a teenager.

Nie Jingshan did not feel there was anything wrong with Qin Hao's tone and att.i.tude. Instead, he replied with more respect: "Drillmaster, this is a mission from my grandfather. If you don't accept it, he will scold me. Moreover, my grandfather also said that although it is ancestral, we don't know how to use it. It is a waste for my family to hold it."

Qin Hao gave him a sharp look, “Enough. Do I look so greedy? Take it back.”

"Drillmaster. Please don't. If I take it back, my grandfather will kill me.” Nie Jingshan grimaced and looked at s.h.i.+ Bingying with pleading. His meaning was very obvious: He hoped s.h.i.+ Bingying would say something to help him. Qin Hao would definitely listen to s.h.i.+ Bingying's advice. This method was called curve strategy.

As he expected, s.h.i.+ Bingying couldn't stand his pleading eyes. She pulled Qin Hao's sleeve and whispered: "Hao, they really appreciate you. Accept it."

"Yeah, she's right, drillmaster. Miss s.h.i.+ said you can take it. If you don't, you will lose her face. I put it here. I don't bother you, goodbye." Crafty Nie Jingshan followed s.h.i.+ Bingying's words, and he put it on the ground promptly, then ran away with a swish, fearing that Qin Hao would return the box if he hesitated.

"Uh……." Qin Hao smiled bitterly and went to pick the box up.

"What is this?" s.h.i.+ Bingying came close and asked, confused.

"Open it and we will know." Qin Hao opened the box.

Inside the box lied a piece of cold jade, five centimeters thick and ten centimeters long. The jade glowed purple light in the dark, and there was something like liquid sloshed when they shook it.

Qin Hao did not realize its value at first, but when he saw the liquid inside, he hurriedly sent in a trace of spirit sense. At the moment he recognized what it was, he was in a big shock and ecstasy overwhelmed him. He shouted, "Purple Jade Liquid!"

s.h.i.+ Bing Ying paused, "What is Purple Jade Liquid?"

"Oh, it is very precious. Thanks to this, maybe both of us can break through to the next stage tonight." Qin Hao was full of excitement. He couldn't predict the result of the battle tomorrow. Who knew whether he would be besieged by the Dragon Group masters or not. At this time, more strength meant better chance to survive.
