The smiles vanished from the crowd, some people's faces turned sullen, and some had anger in their eyes...
"What does this mean, are they playing us for fools?"
"Did we come all this way just to become athletes?"
"Everyone, calm down!" Jin Hancheng shouted, "I believe the Chief Instructor has her reasons for doing this."
"Reasons? What reasons? Why not explain clearly?"
"Exactly! If there's a legitimate reason, why not spell it out!"
"She's clearly not teaching us properly on purpose!"
"Is she afraid that once we learn the skills, we'll return to H Country and surpass—"
"Shut up!" Jin Hancheng slammed the table, "Do you even know the time we're in, and you dare have such thoughts? If Hua Country had selfish motives, they wouldn't have let us come at all!"
The crowd quieted down, staring at the now fragmented table in a daze.
Someone weakly spoke, "Quartz, right?"
"Is this... fake quartz?"
"It's real."
"So Brother Cheng's strength... has improved?"
