A friendly wind blew in the middle of the blue sea under the beautiful sun of the blue sky. A black helicopter equipped with advanced military equipment flew towards the northeast of the deserted ninth island like a goshawk overlooking the sea surface. Inside the cabin, Tang Xiu held the binoculars to observe the sea below, looking for the ship that was drifting alone in the nearby waters.
When the helicopter nearly ran out of fuel a few hours later and he was unable to find any trace of the ship, he had no choice but to return to the ninth deserted island.
Ah, forget it.
Although Tang Xiu was curious about this mysterious person who was proficient in music, he vaguely had a premonition that the other party was friendly and not an enemy. That guy wouldn't have helped her if she hadn't gone back to Bangkok. After putting this matter in his mind, he again dealt with the current problem — situation on the ninth deserted island. It was because he had issued an order to place two people on the other islands around him to observe the nearby waters in secret and the others to leave the ninth deserted island. Therefore, a ship then came from somewhere else to transport his men.
“Cut some trees and build some houses. Make it look like a base as soon as possible. ”
After issuing this order, Tang Xiu handed the order to Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Tang An, and Ji Chimei who had followed. With the extremely powerful Ji Chimei at the helm, the latent danger could be said to be non-existent even if the enemy consisted of a large number of Nascent Soul Stage experts. Only then did Tang Xiu feel more relieved and assured.
Half a day later, Tang Xiu returned to Nine Dragons Island. Just as the helicopter landed, he saw Tang 28 and four other boys sitting cross-legged on the beach. Each of them seemed to be eight years old. Other than Tang 28, the other four looked dignified and powerful. It was rather obvious that they were excellent seedlings.
"Grand Masters. ”
Upon seeing Tang Xiu's arrival, Gu Xiaoxue came forward and asked, "What are your plans next, Grand Master? Did you leave the Island of the Nine Dragons, or lead the battle on the ninth desolate island? ”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "From the analysis of the current situation, the world's main forces shouldn't have come here, so our people won't clash with them in a short period of time. I will be back on the mainland since September and Shanghai University has already started school. I need to report to the college. Also, there is something I need to verify. ”
Gu Xiaoxue nodded and said, "Ms.. Zhang also wants to return to China, Grand Master. Do you want to bring her back together? "
"Yes. He'll come back with me. "Tang Xiu nodded and said," He is a modern person, after all, and he should still live his current life. When he can understand our world and customs carefully, I will bring him back to the Island of the Nine Dragons. Also, let Yaner know after he recovers from the injury. I won't tell her that I'm leaving now because she's in seclusion. ”
"I will pass on your message to Master," Gu Xiaoxue replied. “Also, what about Mo Awu and Jin Shi, Grand Master? You assigned them to stand guard on the ninth deserted island, so who would come back with you? Someone has to follow you. ”
“It's okay now this time. "Tang Xiu shook his head and smilingly said," I'll be back with Tang 28 and her four friends. They can take care of some trivial things for me. ”
Yet Gu Xiaoxue hesitated and said, “I know their strength well because they are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. But they are too young and there are a lot of things they are not comfortable doing. Do you want to bring one more person? "
"Not needed . "Tang Xiu shook his head.
Shortly after, Tang Xiu visited the training ground in the southeast area.842 children who had broken through to the mid stage of Qi Refining and the other 128 at the late stage of Qi Refining had been concentrated here, all sat cross-legged on the large training ground and farmed silently.
There were also two boys and girls, members of the children's army, who managed to break through the early stages of Foundation Establishment. They sat on four square stone platforms with a width of two meters and a height of half a meter.
“Stop cultivating. Everybody, stand! ”
Dressed in a black uniform, the cold-looking Wolfhead immediately shouted after seeing Tang Xiu's arrival. His voice was like a huge bell spreading all over the training ground.
The 974 child soldiers grouped in this place opened their eyes in that instant, rising up and standing upright as their eyes trained on Tang Xiu.
"Boss!"
They had all seen Tang Xiu and each one of them even had his picture, Master whom they had to pledge loyalty for life.
Tang Xiu glanced at them as he nodded in satisfaction and spoke loudly, "You all should have heard that the Tang Sect has been officially established. The sect rules would be more perfect. Those of you who have been brought to the Island of the Nine Dragons have not had the chance to join the sect need not worry. All the children here will be official juniors of the Tang Sect!
“You are all good children and you also have a good talent for cultivating. You will become a pillar of the Tang Sect in the future. But if you want to pass the exam and successfully become a member of the Tang Sect, then prove your abilities. You can prove yourself in two ways: first is to run your task. The greater your achievements, the more likely you will join the Tang Sect in the future. Second, your cultivation should advance to the Golden Core Stage.
"The "murids needed by the Tang Sect were powerful experts. We don't need rubbish. You can stand out from tens of thousands of child soldiers, yet the weakest among you has broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. That means you all deserve to be nurtured and trained. I'm going to give you special training for the next three days and you could face the bittersweet, tiring, and danger in this training. Hang on and face it bravely for me! ”
At this moment, Tang Xiu exposed his cold and cruel side because he was very clear that these children could go all out and devote themselves to cultivating if they were under pressure. It was the only way for them to have a better chance of survival when they had to risk their lives in a battle of life and death in the future.
First day .
Illusions, in and of themselves, can lead people astray, but they can also dampen their hearts and minds.
The 979 children, including Tang 28, had to face an endless stream of enemies weaker than them but were numerous. In addition, Tang Xiu also set up this illusion to create enemies as children their age to adapt to battle. However, their opponents would get older and they would eventually have to face a big and burly man.
An hour passed was another round of fighting, and they could recover their strength by taking a pill.
Over the course of 12 hours, 979 children all experienced 12 rounds of combat with over 200 opponents for each round.
Tang Xiu told the children that they would fight alone, yet he still controlled the entire set of illusions behind. Whenever any of them faced death, he would secretly let them go. It was all to gradually enrich their combat experience.
Second day .
Tang Xiu brought all the children out of the Island of the Nine Dragons and dived down to withstand the pressure of the sea. Furthermore, he also made rigid rules for children to dive very deep at almost any limit they could manage.
Day three .
Alone facing 979 children, Tang Xiu let them use various tactics to deal with it, be it sieges, individual battles, or unification, while teaching combat skills. He even taught them how to use magic spells in battle. He destroyed them all constantly to make them benefit from the fight and continued to make quick progress.
Fourth day .
Tang Xu taught them methods to practice their spiritual feelings and reviewed the training results of the past few days so that they could learn from the experience. He went one step further by answering every problem they could not understand carefully while at the same time, generously took out a large amount of pills whenever the resources for cultivation were insufficient. Finally, he told the children to write down all the harvests they had obtained over the past few days and share them with their peers.
In the end, all the children progressed rapidly after four days of special training, with 36 children advancing to the final stage of the middle stage of Qi Refining and five children breaking through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Tang Xiu believed that these special training days would make children have a continuous breakthrough in a short period of time, with some of them very likely advancing one or two stages.
****
On September 10, Tang Xiu brought Zhang Xinya, Tang 28 and four of his team members back to China. Just as they were exiting the Shanghai Airport, Zhang Xinya looked a little excited and Tang Xiu could feel her coming off the large sunglasses and mask she was wearing.
"Well, we're back. Let's live our daily lives well, shall we? ”Tang Xiu said with a smile while holding his hand.
Nodding in response, Zhang Xinya looked like she was recalling something and glancing around as if she was looking for something. Soon, his eyes were fixated on a woman dressed like him with sunglasses, a mask, and a duckbill hat.
"Hey, over here!"
He waved his hand and loosened Tang Xiu's hand, walking towards the girl as the latter approached. After hugging her, she smiled and said, “I told you not to pick me up, right? Haih, you don't even listen to me, girl. ”
Seeing the scene of Tang Xiu holding hands with Zhang Xinya gave Zhang Xinyue a complicated feeling, although she still tried hard to hide it. Putting on a calm face, he smiled back and said, “You're finally back from abroad, so of course I have to pick you up, sister. By the way, my sister-in-law hasn't bullied you all this time, has she? ”
"Eh, brother-in-law?"
Zhang Xinya's smiling face slightly receded. She turned her head to look at Tang Xiu and suddenly whispered, "You're not allowed to call Tang Xiu's brother-in-law anymore, Xinyue. ”
"Come again?" Zhang Xinya was stunned and looked somewhat confused.
"I already know what happened between the two of you, so you don't need to explain anything to me" Zhang Xinya whispered again. "Tang Xiu has told me everything about it. But let's save the conversation after we get back, okay? If anything, it doesn't matter if you call her Tang Xiu directly. ”
"I…"
Zhang Xinyue's mouth opened but was at a loss to say anything. Inwardly, she felt a little angry at Tang Xiu why she should tell her elder sister about the things that happened between them. It made her confused as she did not know how to deal with her older sister.
Zhang Xinya himself realized how Zhang Xinyue was currently feeling. In fact, telling her younger sister about this matter earlier was because she wanted to find an opportunity to make her understand some issues. Likewise, he had long expected that Zhang Xinyue would react like this.
