How things have changed, with "free martial meals" and "Martial Dao newcomers," all built on an abundant supply of cultivation resources.
Ye Qingzhou dragged the body of the Ghost Tiger to Weng Tiejun: "Instructor."
"You brat, you still know how to come back?"
Seeing Ye Qingzhou unharmed made Weng Tiejun’s heart leap with joy, but he kept a stern face and berated him: "Why did you go out alone? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Instructor, without going through storms, how can we see the rainbow? A martial artist is not a flower in a greenhouse, and true strength isn’t cultivated in a life of comfort."
"Well, aren’t you the one teaching me a lesson? Do you want to take over as instructor?"
Ye Qingzhou nodded. He was quite knowledgeable about nurturing talents.
Every member of Zhouzhou Tutoring Class could testify to that!
Even Yun Shanshan, who was once a hopeless case, has now turned over a new leaf under his guidance, practicing swordsmanship with commendable proficiency.
Weng Tiejun’s eyes twitched: "Alright, alright, now you’re setting your sights on my position, aren’t you?"
"Oh, not at all. They say a martial artist who doesn’t want to be an instructor is not a good student. For a genius like me, confidence is only natural."
"Stop joking around. Did you really kill this Ghost Tiger by yourself?"
As Weng Tiejun said this, he stepped forward to examine the injuries on the Ghost Tiger.
The Ghost Tiger’s body was covered in sword scars, its left arm severed completely, and the fatal blow was a sword that pierced through its brain from the bottom up.
It was clear that this sword strike was incredibly powerful, as even the Ghost Tiger’s copper skin and iron bones couldn’t withstand it.
Ye Qingzhou explained with a prepared story: "Previously, while my teammates and I were hunting Sparrows in the Yin Feng Ghost Forest, we encountered the Ghost Tiger and managed to sever one of its arms, but it escaped afterward."
"So, you chased it relentlessly?"
Everything Ye Qingzhou said was true, though he intentionally omitted some facts, making it easy to deceive Weng Tiejun.
"Hmm, what do you plan to do with this Ghost Tiger?"
"I don’t know how to handle the corpse, so I brought it back intending to sell it to the camp."
Hearing this, Weng Tiejun was delighted: "Not bad, not bad. The Ghost Tiger is full of treasures; making a wrong cut would waste it. How about 1,200 points for it?"
Ye Qingzhou knew he got a great deal, so he didn’t haggle.
In the grotto heaven, the rare birds and exotic beasts contain different primordial qi in various parts, each with unique effects. If someone without the proper knowledge tries to extract them, they might easily damage some special organs, significantly reducing the material’s value.
Therefore, it’s better to leave the task to the camp’s professional decomposers.
Let the pros handle professional tasks.
With Ye Qingzhou’s score announced, the team of Huang Dengfeng was dumbfounded.
"Captain, our score was surpassed!"
"What happened? Didn’t we have 642 points? We were over 100 points ahead of Gu Junchen’s team, how did they surpass us?"
Huang Dengfeng was initially ready to rant, but once he knew it was related to Ye Qingzhou, he closed his eyes and lost all his anger.
After all, they were able to lead by over 100 points thanks to the King of Chasing Wolf Ye Qingzhou sold them.
Upon learning that Ye Qingzhou hunted the Ghost Tiger alone and secured 1,200 points, Huang Dengfeng lost any desire to compete further.
At this moment, he seemed to enter a sage-like state: "Forget it, why fight? Being second is actually quite good; losing to Ye Qingzhou is no shame."
That’s how Huang Dengfeng consoled himself.
Other teams felt the same; once they heard the news, they lost any interest in contending.
With a towering mountain before them, battling on only to vie for an unnoticed second place felt pointless.
The ten-day exploration mission of the grotto heaven finally concluded two days later.
Out of 20 newcomers, 19 survived. Songg Xin was still missing, so while it wasn’t the perfect ending, it was still acceptable.
Ye Qingzhou left Lingyun Grotto Heaven via the teleportation array alongside Xu Yuebing and others.
"Ye Qingzhou! Little Bing!"
Seeing them return safely, Xu Lan was overjoyed and rushed forward to embrace them warmly.
Leon’s eyes widened, and he loudly protested: "Teacher Xu, how can you favor them over me? I want a hug too!"
Soon, Xu Yinquan and a beautiful woman who resembled Xu Yuebing but with a more mature demeanor stood before Ye Qingzhou.
Seeing the beautiful woman, Xu Yuebing quickly and obediently greeted her: "Mom."
"Hmm, your aura shifts unpredictably, looks like you’ve been practicing your Yin Skill well. Soon enough, when your foundation is solid, I will teach you the Formless Sword Scripture."
Xu Wanqing was pleased with her daughter’s martial arts progress, knowing well that Xu Yuebing’s talent was not as great as her elder sister Xu Yunxi’s, yet her advancement was remarkably fast.
As for the reason behind her progress, Xu Wanqing was clearly aware. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Her gaze soon shifted to Ye Qingzhou: "Ye Qingzhou, hello, I am Xu Yuebing’s mother, my name is Xu Wanqing."
Tian Shuang Yue Ming Xu Wanqing!
Her body possessed the Great Success-level Ice Skin Jade Bone, and she cultivated a special technique known as the Profound Yin Infinite Body, with a cultivation realm reaching the Heaven-Ascending Third Layer.
