31: Chapter 31 Bambi is Imminent

Perhaps he could try taking Dahei and his custom-made spear to the wilderness to test it out?

Dahei was now level eleven and had completed its evolution, and the feedback he received was extremely high. Even if they encountered high-tier spirit beasts with elemental abilities, he wouldn't be flustered at all.

However, the thought came and went quickly. Before long, Qin Ding dismissed the idea. The reason was simple: his custom-made spear was 2.4 meters long.

Carrying the spear from home to outside the city and back again wasn't very convenient; he really needed to get that Storage Ring for the Class Competition.

Just then, Qin Ding's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Aunt Zhao.

"Xiao Ding, Mu Xue passed her exam for the Apprentice Breeder certification today. Dinner will be ready soon, come over quickly."

"Oh, okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Qin Ding looked down at Dahei. "I'll order some blood food for you when I get back. You stay here at home for now."

"Woo." [Alright Boss, I promise to wait for you quietly at home.]

He opened his door, walked across to the opposite door, and opened it, immediately greeted by Zhao Min.

"Wait a moment, Xiao Ding, the meal will be ready soon."

"Okay, Aunt Zhao."

Qin Ding said while changing his shoes at the entrance. Upon entering the room and seeing the dishes spread across the table, his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

There were already eight dishes on the table, and Aunt Zhao was still cooking...

On the sofa, the white fox, which had been petted incessantly by Bai Muxue, seemed to see a savior the moment it spotted Qin Ding and immediately broke free from Bai Muxue's lap.

Thus, while Bai Muxue was stunned and Qin Ding was confused, the white fox darted over to Qin Ding, having even thought of an excuse.

"Ying?" [White Fox: Um, did the big black dog not come?]

Qin Ding lowered his head, staring fixedly at the white fox. He couldn't understand what it was saying—after all, he wasn't the white fox's master—but he saw the white fox's bestiary entry.

[Beast: White Fox] [Potential: Good] [Element: None] [Level: 10 (Low-tier)] [Ability: Spirituality] [Bloodline: Fox-type (95%), Canine-type (5%)] [Evolution Path Fox-type: Must reach level 11] [Evolution Path Canine-type: Must have 10% Canine-type bloodline] [Potential Upgrade: Can only be viewed after completing evolution at level 11] [Introduction: The higher the spirituality of a White Fox, the easier it is to awaken the mental element during its first evolution. If supplemented with certain mental-type spirit items, the probability is even higher.]

Level ten? Qin Ding blinked, bent down to scoop up the whimpering white fox, and walked toward Bai Muxue on the sofa.

"You little fox, what were you saying just now?"

"It said, why didn't you bring Dahei?"

When taking the white fox from Qin Ding's arms, Bai Muxue feigned anger and tapped the white fox on the head. "So close to Qin Ding? Who is your master?"

The white fox in her arms weakly stretched out its front paw and patted Bai Muxue. It wasn't that it didn't like Bai Muxue; it was that Bai Muxue was too affectionate. Every time she came back, she would keep holding it in her arms and petting it non-stop. It was fine at first, but now it was a bit too much to handle.

"Alright, you two stop chatting, let's eat."

At the dinner table, Aunt Zhao asked Bai Muxue what her plans were after passing the Apprentice Breeder exam, and Bai Muxue's answer was simple.

It was to work part-time at the Breeder Association during the holidays, making primary and intermediate nutrient solutions to gain experience.

Qin Ding, on the other hand, looked at the two large bowls in his hands and fell silent.

Well, these were all for Dahei. Although it was more than usual, for the current Dahei...

Returning home, Qin Ding poured the leftovers from the bowls into Dahei's feeding basin. "Eat up, I'm going to cultivate."

"Awooo!" [Guaranteed to complete the mission!]

Qin Ding, who was just about to enter his room, stumbled. He twitched his mouth but didn't pay any attention to it.

At Bai Muxue's house, Bai Muxue, who was cleaning up the dining table, suddenly stood up, her brows furrowing and then relaxing.

That sound just now... why did it sound like a wolf howl? Did it come from Qin Ding's house? But Dahei did indeed eat a whole black wolf, so a slight change in its voice was normal.

But if the change was this big... did I mishear, or...

"Mu Xue, help Mom bring the bowls in." "Oh, okay."

Time flew by, and it was soon the day to go to school. Qin Ding called the weapon shop owner to explain that he would come to pick it up in a while.

After the morning classes, Qin Ding and Wan Kang sat at a cafeteria table. "I need you to do me a favor." "What favor? Tell me."

Wan Kang, who had already decided to follow Qin Ding for this Class Competition, didn't hesitate at all after hearing this and agreed immediately.

"I need you to help me get some personal items belonging to Li Dong and Zhou Chang, for example, the pens they usually use."

Wan Kang's eyes flickered, and a thought almost subconsciously popped into his mind. Could it be that Qin Ding wanted to use his beast's tracking ability to take the initiative and strike first?

The thought flashed by in an instant. Wan Kang didn't decline and nodded directly in agreement. "That's easy to handle; it's just a matter of going home a bit late. I'll get the things for you the day before the Class Competition."

"Good. I will also do what I promised you."

This wasn't Qin Ding exaggerating or bragging; it was because he now had the ability and confidence.

For no other reason than that the location for the Class Competition was that mountain. Although the mountain was only a little over a thousand meters high, the highest-level spirit beast in it wouldn't exceed level eight.

This was what Instructor Liu Jun had told him, telling him not to feel too much pressure. After the meal, the two returned to the classroom. Qin Ding looked at Bai Muxue and nodded slightly, indicating that the matter had been settled.

Days passed by, and twenty days flew by in the blink of an eye. There was only one day left until the Class Competition. On this day, Qin Ding, Bai Muxue, and Wan Kang were kept behind.

In the entire Beast Taming Class 1, they were the only three intending to participate in the Class Competition. "Tomorrow is the Class Competition. In our class, it's just you three. The assessment point is that mountain you saw last time. Don't be afraid if you don't perform well; there are quite a few fruit trees on the mountain."

"You are all in the same class. The teacher hopes that you will help each other during these three days of assessment and overcome difficulties together." After giving a few more instructions, Wang Chunfa finally let the three leave.

"Then I'll go get busy first." Leaving the classroom, Wan Kang greeted Qin Ding and headed straight for the school restroom. He planned to go to Class 3 later to get the things. After all, the boss had given the word, hadn't he?

Just as the two reached the school gate, they found three people outside, seemingly waiting for something. Li Dong... and those two people he saw last time...

Qin Ding narrowed his eyes, and a feeling of irritation inexplicably arose in his heart, the kind that made him want to... "Shh~"

Seeing that the person he was waiting for had arrived, Zhou Chang looked at Bai Muxue meaningfully, his smile carrying a malicious undertone, and then he left.

Bai Muxue clenched her fists, and visible veins could be seen on the back of her fair hands. "I really don't like his gaze."

Qin Ding silently watched the back of the person leaving, a glint that only a wolf should have appearing in his eyes, and he responded softly. "Hmm."
