Before Anmin and the others could take anything, he extended a hand and collected all five chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have all disappointed me greatly.” He shook his head, looking displeased, “Today, your cultivation resources will be confiscated. We’ll reevaluate your progress tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmin and the others were all half-opened mouths; this was too harsh, wasn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they instantly realized that Shi Hao was motivating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they suspect Shi Hao of embezzlement?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke, Shi Hao had already reached the Heaven Building Ladder, what would he need these resources for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the thought flashed momentarily, Anmin and the others immediately dismissed it from their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they doubt it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was just a morning, they gained considerably from Shi Hao, even though their cultivation didn’t improve at all, their combat power definitely increased a bit, and if they could better digest these understandings, their combat power boost would be even more noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, they had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Shi Hao was surely reserving the cultivation resources for their use later, not depriving them of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the day, they were quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Immortal Abode, Shi Hao was munching on the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, completely dropping the solemn demeanor he had during the day, his image utterly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave some for me!” The Purple Gold Rat rushed up to grab, “It was my idea for you to pretend to be an instructor!

Without unlocking the bloodline restriction, giving it more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the next morning, Shi Hao once again began to instruct Anmin and the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the morning, he scolded Anmin and the five like dogs, but every word was justified, leaving them with no room to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, today’s cultivation resources were once again confiscated by Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmin and his five still did not suspect, because their combat power… was slightly stronger than yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A noticeable improvement in just a day, how astonishing was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them was excited, cultivating and battling by Shi Hao’s guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, even though Shi Hao withheld their cultivation resources, his guidance was genuine, they weren’t at a great loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, Shi Hao reached the limits of the third step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, time to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Anmin and the five, he told them to ponder by themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nine days, Shi Hao successfully broke through to the fourth step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He emerged from seclusion and continued to instruct Anmin and the five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, you’re finally here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been waiting for you to the point of death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmin and the five all said, during those nine days although Shi Hao didn’t withhold their cultivation resources, their strength improvements weren’t as notable as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a comparison made the value of Shi Hao’s guidance evidently precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao continued to instruct them, naturally delivering a series of reprimands, which Anmin and the five eagerly accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, getting today’s cultivation resources was naturally impossible for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, time flew by and two months passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training camp held a sparring match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although eliminations occurred once a year, occasional pressure was necessary to remind the students if they didn’t strive, they would be the ones eliminated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, Shi Hao’s five students shone remarkably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmin’s talent ranked within the top five in the camp but was just sitting at the bottom, firmly suppressed by the top four, quite a gap existed, however, this time Anmin simply surged to fourth place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Wencheng and the other four also showed noticeable improvement, all rising in ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only one person showed improvement in combat power, it might be a personal factor, but five people displayed notable improvement… it must be the instructor’s merit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, many focused their gaze on Shi Hao, their interest intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could study under Shi Hao… maybe they could find a standing in the camp and avoid elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Bu Feng received countless petitions, applying for Shi Hao to be their instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bu Feng had also witnessed Shi Hao’s instructional skills.
