As Gu Feng, Liu Tianle, and the other two left, everyone remaining turned their gaze toward Xu Fan, their expressions varied.

Neutral individuals, like the silent beauty instructor Qin Fei, looked at Xu Fan with a mix of apprehension and astonishment in their eyes.

Zhou Minghui and others looked at Xu Fan with unconcealed delight.

Meanwhile, those who had just slandered Xu Fan now had exceptionally ugly expressions, as emotions like fear and regret intertwined, leaving their faces pale.

After all, they were merely ordinary trainees, while Instructor Xu, before them, was someone bold enough to beat the likes of Gu Feng and Liu Tianle. They were quite insignificant before Xu Fan. If Xu Fan decided to kill them, no one would stand up for them.

At this moment, Xu Fan turned around, letting his cold gaze sweep over the crowd, and the previously murmuring sounds swiftly quieted down.

In fact, Xu Fan didn't plan to retaliate against these people. His visit was merely for his own opportunity, and everything else was unrelated to him.

Even if Liu Tianle, Gu Feng, and the other two refused to kneel no matter what, Xu Fan wouldn't really harm them. However, their fear of Xu Fan had penetrated their bones, and they kneeled before Xu Fan after just a few seconds of resistance.

At this moment, looking at the fear-stricken crowd, Xu Fan waved his hand and said coldly, "Let's end today's matters here. Make sure to attend my class tomorrow, understood?"

The crowd hastily nodded and dispersed in a rush.

Nearby, Instructor Qin Fei looked at Xu Fan with a bright gleam in her eyes, thinking, is there really such a way to handle things? I've learned a new trick!

After greeting Zhou Minghui, Xu Fan also nodded at Qin Fei and, along with the still visibly shocked Li Tao, began to stroll around the base.

The base was enormous, filled with countless buildings, practically like a small city. Most buildings had a commercial nature, like bars, hotels, supermarkets, etc., with ordinary people serving inside. And a few towering structures were built by alliances of major Hidden World Families. From Li Tao, Xu Fan learned that there were training grounds, libraries, a Mission Hall, and places for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. There's even an Elixir Pharmacy and a Divine Arms Pavilion, where elixirs and divine weapons can be traded for points.

Slightly astonished, Xu Fan inquired about the prices, but Li Tao bluntly spread his hands, indicating that he never went there because he couldn't afford it.

Xu Fan rolled his eyes and, under Li Tao's guidance, casually strolled toward the various buildings.

Xu Fan already faced considerable pressure, with the Huang Family and the Dark Forces eyeing him tigerishly, alongside the title of third on the Earth List and the name of the Mo Family heir, placing Xu Fan at the center of attention.

Upon entering the base, Xu Fan further offended both the Liu and Gu Families, meaning he now had four Hidden World Family-level forces treating him as a thorn, with countless eyes secretly observing him.

To live peacefully and ensure those around him remain unharmed, Xu Fan must become stronger, strong enough to dominate his destiny!

For Xu Fan, this base represented an opportunity!

In fact, when agreeing to become the instructor for the Grey Wolf Team under Zhou Shi'nian, Xu Fan had foreseen the path ahead.

The Grey Wolf Team was divided among three families, constantly scheming against each other internally. For Xu Fan to seize opportunities and lead the Grey Wolf Team to rank in the top three in the upcoming competition, he had to use an iron hand to deter the other two families. This was why Xu Fan acted against Gu Gang even after the Chief Instructor appeared.

To handle external threats, one must first resolve internal issues. With only a month, every second counted, and Xu Fan had no time to reconcile the three family relationships, so he could only expel the other two families to stabilize the Grey Wolf Team internally.

Why hadn't Xu Fan punished the trainees who slandered him? This was the reason. If he expelled all of them, the Grey Wolf Team's strength would be cut by two-thirds, leaving zero chance of success in the competition a month later.

Currently, Xu Fan had used overwhelming force to stabilize the chaos within the Grey Wolf Team, but his upcoming tasks would still be far from easy.

Bringing the Grey Wolf Team, previously ranked last, up to top-three strength was no simple task, especially with only a month to do so. Xu Fan needed a rapid-training method to quickly cultivate the team into a formidable force.

Simultaneously, Xu Fan needed to handle various potential crises at any moment: on one hand, retaliation from the Gu and Liu Families, on the other, potential suppression from the other eight teams.

Thus, not only did Xu Fan need to rapidly enhance the combat strength of the Grey Wolf Team members, but his own strength also had to undergo a qualitative leap to remain undefeated!

Currently, Xu Fan's strength was at a bottleneck, at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, making a breakthrough within a month unlikely. However, real combat power depends on more than just the realm achieved!

Elixirs, divine weapons, cultivation techniques, and divine skills are all crucial factors determining the course of battle! Within this base, everything seemed exchangeable for points.

Xu Fan lacks points? Hardly!

The dozens of trainees from Gu Feng's faction each provided Xu Fan with a hundred points, and Liu Tianle didn't fall short either, contributing over a thousand points per person. Combined, Xu Fan's points now totaled nearly five thousand!

"Instructor Xu, this is the Elixir Pharmacy. You can learn Alchemy here by paying certain points, but it's said to be expensive, and even over ten thousand points might not be enough to cultivate an Alchemist. They also sell all kinds of elixirs inside."

The two had now reached an immense building, with a plaque above the entrance reading "Elixir Pharmacy" in three large characters, appearing exceptionally grand. Only a few people stood before the entrance, likely due to the exorbitant prices inside.

Although Li Tao had never been inside, he explained it eloquently at this moment.

Xu Fan strode into the Elixir Pharmacy, and Li Tao swallowed nervously, hastily following.

The inside was spacious, but its grandeur differed from the exterior—grand not through lacking grandeur, but through a different style. The outer architecture was modern, while inside, everything held an ancient elegance. From the tables and chairs to the windows and counters, all were crafted from wood, with incense placed in the corners.

Xu Fan, however, knew that this wood was probably more expensive than gold and diamonds.

Then, Xu Fan looked toward the counter, which was vast and displayed elixirs in glass-like bottles, exceptionally well-presented. Just looking at those bottles, one could tell they were undoubtedly costly.

The elixirs on the counter were all unique, with varieties reaching into the thousands!
