110: Chapter 110 You can't just accuse me outright, can you?

He pondered inwardly. With the Earth Dog continuously sending him messages through the Life and Death Contract, the more he listened, the more he felt the matter was feasible.

"Huge size, still fast, and even quite agile... A tank that can be steered?"

Qin Ding's expression was extremely strange as he heard the Earth Dog describe the Giant Pink Pig this way.

He would wait for an opportunity to discuss it with Wan Kang.

Soon, Wang Chunfa arrived in class to teach. By this time, Qin Ding had already entered a meditative state at his seat, completely immersed in cultivating his Mental Energy.

The day passed quickly. Aside from waking up at noon to eat, he only woke up again when school ended in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, when school ended, at the Class 1 Iron Garden.

The auras of the two high-Rank Spirit Beasts made the rest of the beasts in the garden act like quails, especially the Sha Jin Wolf, which was at Rank 17.

Seeing that the beasts in the garden were all acting cowardly, Da Hei boredly scratched at its own paws.

"Awoooo." [Boss is really something. He didn't explain things clearly. I thought he brought me out because the school was holding another event, but this is it?]

They weren't afraid of the Fire-Treading Tiger because the Fire-Treading Tiger basically never moved, but they were afraid of Da Hei.

Because Da Hei would actually come over and hit you. For the other beasts in the Iron Garden, the food-snatching incident from last time was still fresh in their memories.

That sound—school must be over, right?

"Awoooo!" [Big Fatty Pig! My Beast, come here and pay audience!]

"Huh? Is that Qin Ding's Sha Jin Wolf?"

Wan Kang, who had come to the Iron Garden to pick up his Giant Pink Pig, saw his Pink Pig carrying the Sha Jin Wolf out, and his eyes lit up.

"I rarely see Qin Ding bring his Beast. Aside from the class assignment and the Class Competition last time, this is only the second time."

"Snort." "Woof." [It's delicious. Eat more and grow stronger. Also, urge your Boss to Cultivate well, so he doesn't collapse and vomit blood before the fight even starts.]

The wolf's paw patted the Giant Pink Pig's head lightly. Everything it was saying now had been taught to it by Qin Ding through the Life and Death Contract.

Wan Kang was currently only at Rank 1 Mental Energy, while the Giant Pink Pig was already Rank 11. With the human and beast differing by a Rank, if a battle were to break out, there was a possibility that the Beast Tamer would vomit blood halfway through the fight.

It was crucial for Wan Kang to raise his own Mental Energy Rank.

"Snort." "Awoooo." [As long as you've listened, that's fine. My Boss is here to pick me up.]

Seeing Qin Ding's Sha Jin Wolf jump directly off the Giant Pink Pig's back, it darted to Qin Ding's side and immediately began to complain.

"Awoooo." [Boss, your school isn't holding a mountain activity today? I thought there would be another one, and I got my hopes up for nothing.]

Qin Ding, who had walked over, intended to say a few words to Wan Kang, but he didn't expect Da Hei's complaints to be faster. He swept a speechless glance at the Earth Dog and ignored it.

He turned his gaze to the Giant Pink Pig.

[Beast: Giant Pink Pig]

[Aptitude: Common]

[Element: Earth]

[Rank: 11 (High-Rank)]

[Ability: Gluttonous, Active, Wild Boar Charge, Powerful Chew]

[Bloodline: Pig (100%)]

[Evolution Direction (Pig-type): Must reach Rank 31]

[Aptitude Improvement: ...]

[Introduction: A large-sized pig-type Spirit Beast that lives in the mountains. Its massive size does not hinder its agility, and its teeth can even easily bite through stubborn rocks. It can be cultivated as a charge unit.]

"Wan Kang, is your Mental Energy still at Rank 1?"

Wan Kang, who had wanted to greet Qin Ding and ask how he was doing, felt a bit awkward when he discovered that Qin Ding had come over just to ask about his Mental Energy.

Goodness gracious, do you think everyone is like you, reaching Rank 2 Mental Energy in less than half a year? At this speed, I'm afraid you'll Breakthrough to Rank 3 Mental Energy before the re-examination.

"Still Rank 1. I reckon it'll take another three or four months before I can possibly reach Rank 2."

Another three or four months? That long? Although Qin Ding remained calm on the surface, he was shocked inwardly.

"In two months, our Chang City will host a School Competition. The rewards for this competition are issued directly by the Federation, and I hear the rewards are very good."

"When the time comes, do you want to go together?" Wan Kang: !!!

Before the words had even faded, two large hands had grabbed his like lightning. Qin Ding looked up, confused, only to see Wan Kang's face flushed red, so excited that even the corners of his eyes were smiling.

That look... it even carried a hint of sleaze.

Qin Ding instinctively wanted to pull his hand away, but feeling that it was his own invitation after all, he forced himself to endure it.

"Go, go, go! I'll prepare blood pressure medication, life-saving medication, and life-prolonging medication right now! You absolutely must take me with you!"

Listening to Wan Kang recite the list of medications like a menu, Qin Ding's eyebrow twitched involuntarily.

Is this... really necessary to take so much medicine to keep one's life going?

"Uh... okay. I have something to attend to at the Administrative Building, so I'll be going first."

Qin Ding hurriedly pulled his hand away and, taking Da Hei with him, practically fled in a panic, leaving Wan Kang leaning against the Giant Pink Pig, looking intoxicated.

"Ah... I feel like I can lie back and win again. Hehehehe."

"Principal, oh Principal, you were right. Hugging a powerful thigh is also a skill. It seems I've hugged onto one again!"

In the corner, Yellow Sky Hemp stared at Qin Ding's retreating back, the words Qin Ding said before leaving echoing in his mind.

"I didn't expect to pick up my Beast on the way, and I didn't expect to unintentionally hear this..."

"But why is Qin Ding going to the Administrative Building? Could it be... that someone among the ordinary students has been exposed?"

His strength was mediocre, and his range for eavesdropping was limited. Being able to catch the three words "Administrative Building" was entirely due to Qin Ding's words triggering a warning keyword in his mind.

Under high pressure, thoughts are always prone to wandering, such as right now.

"Or is it that... he is preparing to pin it on me that I am a person from the He Ling Cult?"

Upon this thought, Yellow Sky Hemp's heart tightened abruptly. It seemed he couldn't delay any longer; he had to report to his grandfather immediately. Qin Ding must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Taking one last glance at the nearly vanished figure, Yellow Sky Hemp turned and walked toward the Class 2 Iron Garden to collect his Beast.

Before long, he led his Beast out of the school gate and slipped into a quiet alley.

"Grandfather, Qin Ding seems to have sensed something again. Just now, he said he was going to the Administrative Building."

[Old Man Huang: Going again? Did you show your tail?]

"Definitely not! Why don't we just have the Holy Envoy act early? The Holy Envoy's Beast is Rank 30. Brainwashing Qin Ding, this Rank 2 Beast Tamer, shouldn't be a problem."

The other end of the phone fell into a long silence.

After a long time, an old and weary voice came through.

[Old Man Huang: Yesterday's open pursuit and secret blocking caused significant losses to the Cult's manpower. Furthermore, the Holy Envoy's Beast suffered excessive consumption and hasn't recovered yet. Even if we really wanted to act, we would have to wait at least another month or more.]

Manpower losses were severe, and the Holy Envoy's consumption was severe? It would take a month?

Yellow Sky Hemp's face turned ghastly pale. He knew his grandfather's temper well. To contradict or urge him at this moment would only invite a scolding. He could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Fine, I'll try my best to steer clear of him in the near future."
