Xu Fan's body was not seriously injured, just that his Spiritual Platform was somewhat depleted, leading to lethargy. Yet, after taking an elixir from Elder Yi, he was no longer in any danger. The once clouded Spiritual Platform now felt a bit empty.

At this moment, Xu Fan took one hundred Spirit Gathering Pills from Elder Yi with immense gratitude and took his leave.

It was only upon reaching his dormitory that Xu Fan finally let out a long sigh of relief, relaxing his always tense body. Unknowingly, his back had been drenched with cold sweat.

Ever since waking up and hearing about Elder Yi and the others' conspiracy, Xu Fan had been on edge, fearing they might notice any abnormality and kill him outright. Acting in such a dangerous situation required Xu Fan to be constantly on high alert, which was even more exhausting than a fierce battle.

"Finally escaped the tiger's den..."

Xu Fan relaxed for a moment before he resumed concentrating on his thoughts.

When entering the base earlier, Xu Fan realized the immense pressure that Elder Mu exerted on him, which was now apparent to be due to reaching a terrifyingly advanced Realm in cultivating Divine Sense.

Unfortunately, Xu Fan didn't think much of it then, assuming it was common to encounter formidable masters in the base. Otherwise, Xu Fan would've associated it with his cultivation of Divine Sense.

However, there's no use regretting the past since the situation was irreversible. Xu Fan already knew Elder Mu and the other four Zhiwei Realm elders were closely monitoring him, making it impossible to seek help or escape.

Now, Xu Fan could only do one thing, and that was to become stronger! To lead the Grey Wolf Team to become stronger! To achieve a high ranking in the tournament a month later! Moreover, upon entering the relic, Xu Fan needed to break through to the Top Grade Vajra Realm. Only then would he stand a chance at survival!

Luckily, Elder Mu did not forcibly make Xu Fan break through but wanted him to achieve the breakthrough to the Top Grade Vajra Realm as well. The more perfect the breakthrough, the better it would be for Elder Mu, thus giving Xu Fan a slim chance to exploit.

Vajra Realm Early Stage, challenging four veteran Zhiwei Realm experts? Even Xu Fan found this idea somewhat absurd, yet it was currently his only hope.

At this moment, determination burst forth in Xu Fan's eyes. Regardless of how well he hid the cultivation of Divine Sense in the base, it would eventually be exposed. Now that it's exposed, let it be as if he cut off his own retreat!

In the following month, fight desperately to become stronger!

After organizing his thoughts, Xu Fan took out fifty Spirit Gathering Pills and leisurely headed in the direction he had agreed upon with Li Tao.

When Xu Fan announced the end of a session, he gave the Grey Wolf Team members a choice: willingly participate in the decisive battle with the White Tiger Team in ten days or leave the Grey Wolf Team. Now, it seemed the Grey Wolf members had made their decisions.

These fifty Spirit Gathering Pills were intended as a welcoming gift for the Grey Wolf Team members.

Initially, Xu Fan planned to distribute the pills gradually as rewards, controlling the allocation to the top-ranking Grey Wolf Team members. However, Elder Yi had been exceedingly generous, as though fearing the Grey Wolf Team couldn't secure a ranking in the tournament in a month's time.

If Xu Fan didn't make good use of Elder Yi's generosity, wouldn't it be a pity? Perhaps this misfortune was indeed a blessing in disguise.

Thinking this, a bitter smile appeared on Xu Fan's lips as he walked to the agreed meeting place with Li Tao.

On an open clearing, as Li Tao and the other Grey Wolf Team members saw Xu Fan approaching, they immediately stood up and cheered.

"Instructor Xu!"

Their voices were uniform and carried an unprecedented cohesiveness, something the Grey Wolf Team had never had before.

As Xu Fan nodded towards each Grey Wolf Team member, he took a headcount, noting the team had shrunk from ninety-two members to fifty-eight.

Xu Fan's initial intention to compete for the top three in the tournament scared some away, and later, his fight with Li Hua deterred others. Having over fifty individuals remain was beyond Xu Fan's expectations.

Additionally, what surprised Xu Fan was Zhou Minghui's presence, albeit with a displeased expression, as if forced to be there.

Indeed, Zhou Minghui had reported Xu Fan's situation to his family, proposing to have Xu Fan removed or to leave the Grey Wolf Team himself.

Unexpectedly, his father, who always doted on him, scolded him harshly over the phone, even threatening that if he misbehaved or disrupted Xu Fan's relationship with the Zhou Family, the family would no longer acknowledge him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Minghui was dumbfounded. He was on the brink of death in ten days, desperate, yet it seemed like mere mischief to his father? Why not focus on my predicament? Does my life hold less value than Xu Fan's happiness?

Zhou Minghui felt wronged, but with the family's orders declared, he could only grumble to himself.

Because Zhou Minghui stayed, a small group of hesitant trainees also gritted their teeth and decided to join him. If a Hidden World Families' member could face death, why couldn't they? Weren't the Hidden World Families considered more cunning?

Of course, many of the fifty-eight present were influenced by Xu Fan's previous speech.

Did they want to be cannon fodder or a genius? After repeatedly losing dignity, could they regain it?

Opportunities are fleeting, gone in an instant. Take a chance, and the bicycle turns into a motorbike!

Now, facing the crowd's fervent gaze, Xu Fan walked calmly to the center of the field, waved lightly to Li Tao, and tossed the fifty Spirit Gathering Pills into Li Tao's arms.

The crowd, observing Xu Fan, wore puzzled expressions. What was inside these small bottles?

However, as Li Tao opened one, a fragrant scent wafted out, and the crowd's puzzled gazes turned intensely heated, with many trainees' eyes even turning red.

Elixirs! Instructor Xu has generously handed out a whole pile of elixirs!
