6: Chapter 6 Wang Tingting Has Gone Bad

Beside her, Lü Li also noticed Wang Tingting's movements and expression.

He looked toward the place she had just been staring.

He saw Ye Qing.

Immediately, he felt a massive sense of crisis; after all, he already knew about Ye Qing's actions in the cafeteria.

Wang Tingting wouldn't be thinking about getting back together with him, would she?

Wouldn't that make him a clown?

He would absolutely never allow such a situation to happen!

The gaze he directed at Ye Qing became unfriendly.

They walked through the city gates.

Ye Qing looked outside.

The trees in the jungle outside weren't just a few meters tall, but dozens or even hundreds of meters high.

Their massive canopies blotted out the sun!

He had heard that when the apocalypse descended, all things grew wildly, and these giant trees were a testament to that.

A gust of wind blew by.

The wind was laced with a heavy scent of blood.

It was the smell of human and beast blood mixed together over many years.

As Zhou Lingxue smelled this, her face turned slightly pale, but she managed to endure it.

Ye Qing glanced at her.

This girl was actually doing quite well.

Ye Qing had seen people who couldn't stop vomiting just from smelling this scent.

Outside.

A group of figures stood there.

Their Aura was extraordinary.

"Ye Qing, who are these people?"

"The Barrier Guard Army."

"Most of them are Spirit Masters and weapon spirits of the third rank or higher, guarding the Barrier..." Ye Qing explained to Zhou Lingxue.

Nearby, many people also overheard him.

They then looked at Ye Qing and Zhou Lingxue.

He had to explain such basic knowledge?

They really were total newbies!

They headed deeper into the jungle.

Everyone was on high alert.

"Alright, this depth is about right," Xu Bing said.

Everyone was rubbing their hands in anticipation.

However, shortly after.

A rustling sound came from the distance.

"Something is approaching."

Ye Qing looked in another direction, and Xu Bing noticed it too.

Hmm?!

This!

A moment later, several figures arrived.

They were wearing the uniforms of the Guard Army, but they were currently covered in wounds, their clothes soaked in blood.

It was unclear if the blood was theirs or from exotic beasts.

One of them had three claw marks across his chest; the blood had already coagulated, but it still gave off a massive shock.

Now, the several Guard Army soldiers looked at Xu Bing and the others.

"Who are you? University students?"

"I am their teacher," Xu Bing said as he walked over. "What happened? Did you encounter exotic beasts?"

"Yes, there are several exotic beast packs over there that we are trying to clear out, but they are quite strong. We planned to go back for reinforcements, but there might not be enough time to make it back now."

"We need your help now!"

This sentence made even Ye Qing startle.

Exotic beast packs?

This was great!

He was just worrying about having no exotic beasts to kill!

As long as there were exotic beasts and he could get exotic beast crystal cores, Ye Qing could rapidly absorb them to increase his strength!

"I will take the students to help!"

Xu Bing said immediately, then turned his head to look at everyone.

"I will pick some people. The rest of you stay here as reserves; we'll talk if we're short-handed."

With one sentence, everyone understood Xu Bing's meaning. He was going to pick the strongest ones. After all, picking the weak ones would be useless—they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the beasts' teeth.

"Wang Tingting's team! Zhou Kai's team!..."

Immediately, Xu Bing began picking.

A moment later, his gaze fell on Ye Qing.

Xu Bing frowned, his mouth twitching slightly. Logically, Ye Qing's strength was sufficient, but this wasn't a fight against humans—it was a fight against exotic beasts!

Those beasts had thick hides and tough flesh!

They mainly relied on weapon spirits to break through their defense!

Not fists!

Forget it!

Xu Bing then swept past Ye Qing and continued calling names.

Seeing Xu Bing skip over Ye Qing, Wang Tingting's face showed a hint of disappointment. This guy actually hadn't been picked this time.

What a shame.

If he went, he would realize how big the gap was between Zhou Lingxue and herself!

Beside her, Lü Li held his head high.

He looked proud.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xu Bing looked at the Guard Army soldiers, and they nodded.

"There are several beast packs this time, so we need to split up. You few, come with me!"

"You few, follow me!"

...

After Xu Bing and the others' figures had faded into the distance and disappeared.

"Huh? Why didn't they pick us?"

"Don't you have any idea why they didn't pick you?"

"Hey, the way you say that makes it sound like you were picked!"

"Go away."

"Forget it, it's an exotic beast pack. You think it's just playing house?"

"Let's just stay here honestly."

"But Teacher Xu and the others are gone. If a powerful exotic beast comes while we're here, won't we be wiped out?"

As soon as this was said, everyone went silent and stared at the person who had just spoken.

Damn you, if you don't know how to talk, then shut up.

"Don't scare people! Good luck, good luck!"

"We can't leave; we must hold our ground here! Teacher Xu and the others might still need us!"

"Right! Hold our ground!"

"Never retreat!"

As they were talking, one person turned his head and looked into the distance, seeing Ye Qing's back as he sprinted in another direction.

"Holy crap, look, Ye Qing and his partner are running away!"

Everyone: "..."

"Damn! He's running so fast, he's already gone!"

"Good grief, didn't he violently beat up the sophomores this morning? Now he's wimping out. So he can only throw heavy punches at his own kind, right?"

"Ye Qing is a deserter!"

"A disgrace!"

"When Teacher Xu gets back, we must report him! Someone like that doesn't deserve to be in our university!"

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Lingxue was being pulled along by Ye Qing. "Ye Qing, where are we going now?"

"To slay exotic beasts, of course!"

"An exotic beast pack, so many beasts! How can we let them get away!"

Ye Qing's eyes were filled with excitement.

...

"You beast!"

A shout rang out!

A Guard Army soldier holding a battle-axe as tall as himself stomped his foot.

Thump!

With a muffled sound, the ground beneath his feet cracked open!

His body also shot forward suddenly!

Opposite him, a massive Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig was also charging toward him!

Staring at the three-to-four-meter-tall Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig, the man swung his battle-axe down fiercely!

Bang!

A loud explosion followed!

At the scene, sand and rocks flew everywhere!

In the dust!

A figure was sent flying backward out of the dust cloud!

After landing, he slid several meters, only stopping by bracing the axe handle against the ground.

Damn!

A fourth-rank early-stage Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig was indeed difficult to deal with!

"Captain, are you alright!"

Nearby, another Guard Army soldier approached, but his state could be described as tragic!

He held a blade in his right hand, but his left forearm was gone!

There were even bite marks at the stump!

His whole body was trembling slightly, and the muscles on his face began to twitch; it was clear that the piercing pain had triggered a physical reaction.

"What are you still doing here! I told you to retreat!" the captain said. "Do you want to die!"

"We only have a few brothers left. Even if I die in battle, I can't leave!"

He looked at his comrades here, each of them fighting those crazed beasts, every one of them covered in blood and riddled with wounds.

As he spoke, the long blade in his hand also trembled, letting out a mournful cry.

It was as if it were already prepared for the final battle!

Roar!

Over here, the Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig charged again.

"Not good!"

The captain felt his arm go numb.

His eyes were nearly splitting from the strain!

Damn it, I can't muster any strength!

At that moment, he could only watch helplessly as the Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig charged at him!

The next moment!

Thump!

A muffled sound rang out, and then the Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig was flipped directly away!

Oink oink!

The Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig fell to the ground, its four legs struggling constantly.

The screams immediately attracted the attention of its other kin.

They all stared at Xu Bing standing in the field.

Xu Bing held his Dragon-Taming Mace, and feeling the fierce gazes of the pack of exotic beasts, he also felt a chill down his spine.

The Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig had thick skin and tough flesh; he could manage one or two, but with so many...

"Wang Tingting, pay attention and wait for my signal!"

Xu Bing said a word, then charged toward an Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig!

"Who are these people!"

The captain immediately inquired.

"They are a teacher and students from Jinling University, here to help!"

"Isn't this nonsense! These kids, what did you call them here for!" The captain also cursed, but now they were already embroiled in the battle, there was no choice!

At this time, Xu Bing dodged and shifted within the beast pack, his Dragon-Taming Mace constantly striking down!

Damn!

Has the durability of these Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pigs reached such a level!

It seems this won't work!

Xu Bing then smashed toward one Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig, thump!

With a loud bang, the Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig momentarily froze!

"Wang Tingting, use Flowing Gold Flying Blades!"

"Attack this guy's eyes!"

Flowing Gold Flying Blades!

Xu Bing had seen the Move Wang Tingting used before; its speed and power were both quite impressive!

Combined with this perfect opportunity!

In Xu Bing's eyes, he could already foresee the death of this Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig!

But!

The next moment!

Xu Bing's smile froze on his face. This!

What kind of speed was this!

Xu Bing was greatly shocked in his heart!

This!

This was the Flowing Gold Flying Blades?!

The difference was way too much!

Not good!

Oink!

The Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig also noticed the flying blades!

It immediately shoved Xu Bing aside!

With a sweep of its tusks!

Its massive power collided directly with the flying blades!

Instantly, sparks flew everywhere!

The flying blades were knocked flying!

Clang!

The flying blades smashed hard into a tree, their illusory state immediately broken. Wang Tingting also fell directly to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

She clutched her chest, feeling the pain!

However, her eyes were full of disbelief!

This!

How was it possible!

Wang Tingting felt her own state!

Why!

Why would her speed, power, and precision in seizing opportunities be so much worse!

When she was with Ye Qing before, she would have been able to seize that opportunity just now one hundred percent of the time!

But now!

What was going on!

In an instant, she thought of a hard-to-accept fact!

Could it be that Ye Qing was the one helping her seize those opportunities before?!

How could that be!

Impossible!

At this moment, Wang Tingting's heart felt as if a stormy sea were rising within it. This!
