They had to bring back some as per the rules.

Nonetheless, they were all excited and envisioned a bright path ahead.

Before the expedition, they received tips from the Chief Instructor, resulting in their substantial harvest of spiritual herbs and plants. Each one of them was quite pleased with themselves.

Wen Shumo for example, estimated with delight that his bountiful harvest might surpass that of his senior, the kind-hearted ‘big brother’.

Prior to this, he had heard stories of predecessors who were fortunate to enter before him, one from Yan State had managed to harvest just thirty-nine spiritual herbs and yet secured the third place.

This time, he had harvested a grand total of fifty-seven varieties of spiritual herbs and plants!

Surely, with this feat, he was destined for the top rank!

He was truly blessed. He had stumbled upon a Spiritual Fruit tree during his journey.

He remembered how that predecessor from Yan State had lamented – if not for the outrageous luck of the top contender who conveniently found a fruit-bearing tree in his path and gained the advantage, how could he have outperformed him in the harvest?!

Based on this understanding, Wen Shumo was brimming with confidence.

There was also Yue Kong who returned with a glowing face, almost humming a tune out of satisfaction.

His luck and harvest were equally respectable.

This time, due to persisting for an extra half hour, he chanced upon an abandoned herb field. Despite its abandoned state, he found dozens of spiritual herbs and even Spiritual Fruits.

Adding up all his loot, it totaled over a hundred. With such a hefty gain, wasn’t he now leading the pack?

Wouldn’t Wen Shumo have to write a poem or something in his honor?

This time around, he could certainly hold his head up high, dominating his peers.

Although he narrowly missed the top three in the Gold Rank assassin match, this time he was certain to press down all three!

In the future, who would dare belittle me, Yue Kong?

I possess the Chi Snake!

The Chi Snake is destined to turn into a dragon in the future!

Any other contenders?!

Similarly, all the others had various thoughts, their faces glowing with happiness.

As they emerged, everyone was prepared to welcome the surprise and praise from the instructors.

But when they came out, they found that the instructors were indifferent, generating a sense of ‘couldn’t care less’.

The crowd felt collectively baffled.

What had happened?

Could the instructors really curb their excitement this well?

Could they actually keep their emotions under wraps?

That’s… impressive!

No, the instructors must not have seen my harvest yet. Once it surpasses their expectations, they will certainly feel gratified, even doubly so!

But even after collecting all the harvested spiritual herbs, the instructors remained indifferent. Regardless of their jade boxes being filled with enthusiasm or tedium, no ripple of emotion was seen.

After they casually instructed everyone to take their share, they considered the weed gathering event concluded and ended the matter.

The entire process was dull and tasteless.

The Gold Rank assassins felt dazed at this, overwhelmed by thoughts like ‘Who am I?’, ‘Where am I?’, and ‘What did I just go through?’.

Surely that’s not right! Before we entered, you guys were nearly bursting with anticipation, repeatedly instructing us to be alert and careful.

Fearing that we wouldn’t bring back anything at all.

But what about the result…

What about now…

We all returned laden with loot, yet you’re acting like someone just died. Who exactly are you showing this to?

Killing the donkey the moment it leaves the millstone, isn’t that a bit too fast?

Although there was no physical harm, everyone felt a sense of deep insult, or perhaps…humiliation!

But they had no way to argue with the instructors, they dejectedly collected their spiritual herbs, the initial excitement and joy were all but gone! The whole process was permeated with an awkward tension.

It was like your wedding night, when you thought you were doing great, sweating buckets after half a night’s work, only to find that your new wife didn’t react at all…

How bloody messed up was that!

Their mood was as rotten as if they had eaten shit.

What was he playing at?!

“We will be leaving the valley in four days!”

“In these four days, instructors and students are separated, students can practice freely.”

With one sentence, the departure time was postponed by four days, but Gold Rank assassins didn’t think much of this. Since attending the training camp and reaping a great deal, returning a couple of days earlier or later didn’t make much difference.

Here, they could continue refining their battle experiences and exchanging thoughts with others. Those opportunities would be hard to come by once they went back to their usual lives.

The two other Chief Instructors and other instructors, however, were not too pleased.

What was your point?

To create time for your ‘gentle’ tactics, therefore others can’t leave?

What’s the logic behind this?!

But Chief Instructor Fei forcefully struck down the rule: “If anyone has an objection, feel free to have a spar with me. I’ll do my best to make them satisfied.”

“Whether it’s cursing or fighting, pick whichever you prefer, I won’t say a word!”

The crowd’s face darkened instantaneously and they dispersed sporadically.

How could he say such blatant words without a shred of shame.

From a fighting perspective, of course, no one here could match you. But engaging in verbal sparring? That’s not entirely impossible.

But when it comes to a battle of insults, even if we stood united against you, we’d still be no match, okay?!
