The sky was blue and the wind was gentle.
A top-of-the-line military helicopter with a black configuration was overlooking the sea like a goshawk as it flew toward the northeast direction of the 9th barren island. Inside the helicopter, Tan Xiu was observing the sea below with a pair of binoculars, looking for the lone liner that was drifting alone.
A few hours later, when the helicopter's fuel was about to run out, he still couldn't find any trace of the liner, so he had no choice but to return to the 9th barren island.
"Forget it."
Although Tan Xiu was curious about the mysterious man who was proficient in music, he had a faint feeling that the other party was a friend and not an enemy. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have helped him in Bangkok in T Country. After putting this matter aside for the time being, Tang Xiu then paid attention to the situation on the 9th deserted island. He had ordered the peripheral members stationed on the other deserted islands in the surroundings to only leave two people to hide and observe in the dark, while the rest were to evacuate to the 9th deserted island. Hence, the passenger ships that came from other places transported the members under his command to the 9th deserted island.
"Cut down trees and build houses. Build this place into a base as soon as possible. "
After leaving an order, Tan Xiu handed over the responsibility of managing this place to Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Tang An, and Ji Chimei. With a super powerhouse like Ji Chimei around, there wouldn't be any hidden dangers even if a large number of Nascent Soul Stage enemies came, so Tan Xiu was quite relieved.
Half a day later.
Tan Xiu returned to Nine Dragons Island. Just as the helicopter landed, he saw Tang 28 and the other four boys sitting cross-legged on the shore. All of them were about eight years old. Aside from Tang 28, the other four boys were very strong and vigorous, destined to become burly men in the future.
"Grand Master."
Gu Xiaoxue came and asked after seeing Tan Xiu, "What's your next plan, Sir? Are you going to leave Nine Dragons Island to command the battle on the 9th barren island? "
"According to the analysis of the current situation, the world's major forces shouldn't be going to war with our people in a short time." Tan Xiu shook his head. "It's already September and Demon Capital University has started its semester. I need to report there and verify something while I'm at it."
Gu Xiaoxue nodded and said, "Miss Zhang also wants to return to China. Will you take her with you?"
"She'll go back with me." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "She'll go back with me. After all, she's a modern person and has her own life to continue. I'll bring her to Nine Dragons Island when she can see through the secular world. Yan'Er is currently in seclusion to heal, so I won't tell her about my departure. You can tell her after she finishes healing! Perhaps, it won't be long before I return. "
Gu Xiaoxue said, "I'll tell Master. Grand Master, if you let Mo Awu and Jin Shi take charge of the 9th island, who will go back with you? You need someone to follow you. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "Forget it this time. I'll take Tang 28 and the other four back. They can help me with some trivial matters. "
Gu Xiaoxue hesitated and said, "Although their strength is not bad and they have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they are too young and it is not convenient for them to do many things. Do you want to bring more people? "
"No need." Tan Xiu shook his head.
Shortly after.
Tan Xiu came to the southeast training ground. 842 boy scouts who had broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and 128 who had broken through to the late-stage of Qi Refining had been gathered here. All of them sat cross-legged on the huge training ground, silently cultivating.
Two men and two women — four boy scouts who had broken through to the early-stage of Foundation Establishment — sat cross-legged on four square stone platforms that were half a meter high and two meters long and wide.
"Halt your cultivation and stand up!"
Wolf Head, who wore a black uniform and had a grim expression, immediately shouted upon seeing Tan Xiu's arrival. His voice was as loud as a great bell that spread throughout the training ground.
The 974 boy scouts who had been gathered here instantly opened their eyes upon hearing the voice. They swiftly got up and stood straight as they looked at Tang Xiu who had just arrived.
"Boss."
All of them had seen Tan Xiu before. Each of them even had a picture of Tan Xiu, the Master they needed to be loyal to in this life.
Tan Xiu glanced at them and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he shouted, "You should have heard that the Tang Sect has been officially established and its rules and regulations will be more and more perfect. Children like you who were brought to Nine Dragons Island have yet to have the opportunity to join the sect and become official disciples of the Tang Sect.
"All of you are talented children in cultivation and are the future pillars of the Tang Sect. But you must prove your worth if you want to pass the test and become a member of the Tang Sect. First, you must make great contributions. The greater the contribution, the more likely you are to join the Tang Sect in the future. Second, your cultivation must break through to the Golden Core Stage.
"The disciples of Tang Sect need powerhouses, not trash. You can stand out among tens of thousands of boy scouts, and even the weakest among you has broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. This shows that you are worthy of training. I'll conduct special training for you in the next three days. This special training will be very hard, tiring, and even life-threatening. However, all of you must persevere. "
At this moment, Tan Xiu showed his ruthless side. He knew very well that only by putting pressure on these children would they be able to work harder. Only by putting in more effort in cultivation would they have a greater chance of survival in the future when they have to fight for their lives.
The first day.
Tan Xiu arranged an illusion array in the training ground. Due to the children's cultivation being too low, the array's power was very weak. As long as they didn't lower their guard and could burst out with the strength of the mid-stage of Qi Refining, they could survive inside.
The illusion array could make people lose themselves and also temper their minds.
The 979 children, including Tang 28, were facing an endless stream of enemies. These enemies were slightly weaker than them, but there were a lot of them. Furthermore, Tan Xiu also created children of the same age in the illusion array so that they could adapt to the fight. However, as they fought, the enemies grew older and older. In the end, the ones they fought were all burly men.
An hour later, a round of fighting.
An hour later, they recovered their strength with the help of medicinal pills.
For a full twelve hours, the nine hundred and seventy-nine children had all experienced twelve battles. Every time, the number of enemies was more than two hundred.
Although Tan Xiu said that he would let them fight alone, he was secretly controlling the entire illusion array. Whenever the children were facing death, he would secretly go easy on them, gradually enriching their combat experience.
The second day.
Tan Xiu took everyone away from Nine Dragons Island and went down to withstand the pressure of the seawater. He also set a strict rule that they could only dive to a great depth, which was almost the limit of the children.
The third day.
Tan Xiu fought against the 979 children alone. Whether they were besieging him or fighting him alone, he took them all on. He also gave them pointers on fighting skills and even taught them spells. After ravaging them, the children kept gaining benefits and making rapid progress.
The fourth day.
Tan Xiu taught them the method to cultivate their spiritual sense, allowing them to comprehend the results of the past few days' training. If they encountered something they didn't understand, he would carefully explain it to them. If they encountered a lack of resources, he would take out a lot of medicinal pills. In the end, he asked all the children to write down their gains in the past few days and share them with others.
At last.
After four days of special training, the children made rapid progress. Thirty-six of them broke through from the middle stage of Qi Refining to the late stage, and five of them broke through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Tan Xiu believed that it wouldn't take long for these children to make breakthroughs after these days of special training and the provision of a large number of resources. Some of them could even improve by one or two levels in a short time.
September 10th.
Tang Xiu then took Zhang Xinya, Tang 28, and his four chosen companions to set foot on Huaxia's territory again. Zhang Xinya looked a little excited the moment they came out of the Shanghai airport. Although she was wearing big sunglasses and a mask, Tan Xiu could still feel her excitement.
"Now that you're back, live a good life."
Tan Xiu held her hand and said with a smile.
Zhang Xinya nodded repeatedly. She seemed to recall something and began to look around as though she was looking for something. Soon, she locked onto a girl who was dressed similarly to her. She was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a cap.
"Here."
Zhang Xinya waved and saw the girl coming over. She released Tan Xiu's hand and strode forward to greet her. After hugging the girl, she smiled and said, "I told you not to pick me up, but you didn't listen."
Zhang Xinyue had just seen the scene of Tan Xiu and her sister holding hands. She tried to conceal her complicated feelings and pretended to be calm. She smiled and said, "You finally came back from abroad, Big Sis. Of course I have to pick you up personally. Did Brother-in-law bully you these days? "
"Brother-in-law?"
The smile on Zhang Xinya's face faded a bit. She turned to look at Tan Xiu and suddenly whispered, "Xinyue, you're not allowed to call Tan Xiu Brother-in-law in the future."
"Huh?"
Zhang Xinyue stared blankly and was somewhat at a loss.
"I already know what happened between you two. You don't need to explain anything to me. Tan Xiu has already told me about it," said Zhang Xinya in a low voice. "Let's talk about it when we get back. In any case, you can just call him Tan Xiu in the future. "
"I …"
Zhang Xinyue opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She was a bit angry inwardly. She was angry at Tan Xiu for telling this matter to her elder sister, Zhang Xinya. She didn't even know how to face her elder sister at this moment.
Zhang Xinya knew her younger sister very well. She told her sister to come back in advance because she wanted to find an opportunity to let her understand something. She had long guessed that her younger sister would have such a reaction.
