Ava rushed over.
"Chief, Chief! I’ve broken through to the Peak of the Mortal Supreme Realm! Can I go with you to the outside world now?" Ava was extremely excited upon seeing Adam return. Her two thick pigtails were flying wildly in the air.
"Ava, stop messing around and step back!" Dael frowned.
"It’s fine." Adam shook his head, not minding at all, and looked at Ava with a smile.
"Not bad, but if you want to go out, you have to answer my question first, if you answer correctly, I’ll let you go!"
Although Adam simply said not bad, he was internally shocked.
This little girl’s talent was completely freakish.
The last time he checked, she was only a Great Grandmaster, and now she was already at the Peak of the Mortal Supreme Realm? That speed was way too fast.
Ava’s eyes sparkled with determination, and she answered without hesitation. "Chief, ask away! I will definitely answer it correctly!"
Adam nodded slightly. "You have a wardrobe, and there is an elephant outside, if you want to put the elephant into the wardrobe, how many steps does it take?"
Ava and the others were speechless.
She hadn’t expected a question like this at all, what exactly was the Chief playing at? But since the Chief had asked, she had to answer.
"Chief, it’s very difficult to put an elephant into a wardrobe, because a wardrobe’s space is very small, and an elephant’s volume is very large, so theoretically, an elephant cannot be put into a wardrobe," Ava answered seriously.
Adam furrowed his brows slightly, this question wasn’t meant to test Ava’s understanding of physical space, but rather to evaluate her way of thinking and her problem-solving abilities.
"No, it only takes three steps, open the wardrobe door, put the elephant in, and then close it!" Adam couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curl upward.
"Ah? Chief, that’s cheating!" Ava puffed out her cheeks in protest.
"Alright, then let me ask you another question, if you want to put a giraffe into the wardrobe, how many steps does it take?" Adam asked again with a smile.
"Three steps!" Ava answered immediately, she had learned to be smart this time.
"Wrong, it’s four steps!" Adam shook his head with a laugh.
"Ah? Why?" Ava’s little brows knitted together tightly.
Adam smiled and explained. "Because you first need to open the door, take the elephant out of the wardrobe, then put the giraffe in, and close the door, so it’s four steps."
It wasn’t just Ava, the faces of everyone present were filled with massive question marks, it could actually be like that?
"Chief, you’re definitely just cheating now! Who would put an elephant and a giraffe into a wardrobe?!" Ava was extremely dissatisfied.
"What do you mean cheating? This is a test of your mental flexibility, do you know how wicked the people outside are?" Adam shook his head.
"What if the elephant was a toy elephant? I never specified what kind of elephant it was."
Adam gently patted Ava’s head.
Ava froze for a moment, then came to a sudden realization. "If the elephant was a toy elephant, then it could easily be put into the wardrobe, it would only take one step."
After saying this, her expression fell in disappointment, since she understood the logic, she also realized that the Chief had made a very good point, her mental flexibility was still not sharp enough.
"Alright, continue to learn about the outside world from your teacher, when the time is right, you can go out!" Adam said with a smile.
In truth, the question he asked was a bit beyond the comprehension of the people of this era, simply because they wouldn’t intuitively think in that direction, however, Adam’s primary motivation was that he didn’t want Ava venturing out this early.
Her talent was far too freakish, if she went out too early and accidentally perished, it would be an astronomical loss for him, although she was already at the Peak of the Mortal Supreme Realm, which before the Heaven and Earth Upheaval would make her an absolute super expert, in the current climate, even self-preservation was hard to guarantee.
The time wasn’t right yet.
"Alright!" Ava was not a stubborn person, not to mention that her sneaking out last time had caused the Chief a great deal of trouble, furthermore, she was genuinely convinced by the questioning just now.
It did make perfect sense, her mind simply wasn’t flexible enough yet.
After Ava left, the others looked at Adam, feeling somewhat guilty, after all, they hadn’t answered Adam’s questions correctly either, didn’t this prove they weren’t ready to leave this place yet?
Adam naturally knew what they were thinking, he had done this on purpose, gaining strength too quickly would inevitably make them arrogant and overconfident, using this little trick was a good way to slightly suppress their inflated egos and ground their mentalities.
"Alright, let’s begin the martial arts drill, the main focus is to see how well your military formations coordinate."
The serious business still needed reviewing.
On the training ground, the warriors of the Gongsun tribe quickly fell into formation, clad in uniform armor and wielding long spears, their imposing aura was like a dazzling rainbow.
Adam stood at a high vantage point, his gaze like a torch as he carefully observed their movements and coordination.
With a single command, the warriors began their drill, whether charging enemy lines or executing defensive counterattacks, their movements were entirely uniform and their coordination flawlessly tacit.
Adam couldn’t help but nod, feeling deeply satisfied with their performance.
The Organization was divided into two core parts, the vast majority served as the island’s defense force, while a smaller, highly elite portion was secretly cultivated and trained to become assassination experts.
After staying on the island for two days to handle all related matters, Adam and Cecilia departed once again.
This time, their destination was a Grotto-Heaven.
Although their trip to the Immortal Tomb had yielded massive fortunate encounters, those were predominantly external objects.
As for their own personal strength, there hadn’t been much actual improvement, the Grotto-Heaven they were heading to now was precisely a place that could elevate their cultivation bases.
Eastern Continent Border.
Inside the military camp of the defense forces, the red-haired old man seemed to have aged even more!
