37: Chapter 37 Wan Kang: Playing this big?

With that swing, a huge gash was ripped directly into Li Dong's abdomen. His internal organs were exposed, and some of his intestines even spilled out, which Li Dong desperately clutched with one hand!

A fatal wound!

Qin Ding calmly looked at Li Dong, who was gripping the shaft of his spear with both hands. The other man looked up, his eyes filled with pleading and despair, while blood foam bubbled from his mouth as he emitted a whimpering sound.

"Ugh... oh..."

It wasn't until the parasitic bracelet on Li Dong's wrist lit up with a green glow that his ghastly pale, bloodless cheeks began to show some slight improvement. Seeing this, Qin Ding's eyes flickered.

"White Fox, kill his Beast."

Not far away, a fierce glint appeared in White Fox's beastly eyes. With a pounce, it pinned the Brocade Fighting Chicken down, its sharp, bone-white teeth instantly sinking into the Brocade Fighting Chicken's neck.

It bit down hard.

"Snap."

"Pfft!"

Because his Beast had died, Li Dong felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer. The pain was excruciating. He could no longer hold onto the spear and collapsed to the side, his eyes unfocused as he drifted toward unconsciousness.

Before he lost consciousness, a single sentence from Qin Ding left him thoroughly terrified.

"It's a pity it isn't a Life and Death Contract, otherwise, this could have been written off as an accidental death."

If Li Dong's contract had been a Life and Death Contract, then him killing Li Dong's Beast, which in turn caused Li Dong's death, would just be considered an accident in the outside world, rather than something like a revenge killing.

Because he didn't know if Li Dong had a Life and Death Contract, and no one had told him, nor would he or could he ask. Moreover, the death of a Beast during the Class Competition was considered a relatively common occurrence.

If he guessed right, he would be happy; if he guessed wrong, he would feel slightly regretful. That was all.

Seeing Li Dong struggling to keep his eyelids from closing, Qin Ding smiled, a smile filled with cold-bloodedness and danger.

"The federal rules can no longer protect you."

After saying this, Qin Ding didn't look at Li Dong again, because the emerald green parasitic bracelet on Li Dong's wrist had already turned a dilapidated gray. In another minute or two, the school's 'invigilators' would arrive.

Qin Ding realized, so that's how this thing is used. Then...

Without hesitation, the spear in his hand pierced through Li Dong's neck, and blood gushed out.

"Woo."

White Fox, with the corpse of the Brocade Fighting Chicken in its mouth, trotted over to Qin Ding and looked up at him, seemingly asking what Qin Ding wanted to do next.

As for the dead Li Dong? White Fox only glanced at him casually. In the worldview of Spirit Beasts, death was something that could happen at any time and was not worth dwelling on.

Hearing the movement, Qin Ding lowered his head, his eyes narrowing slightly as he revealed a genuine, faint smile.

"Let's go find Mu Xue. Things over there should be finished by now too."

As he turned around and looked at the wound on Li Dong's body—which Li Dong had been covering before, but now it was completely exposed—a sense of discomfort rose in Qin Ding's heart.

On the other side.

"It evolved... Qin Ding's Beast evolved, level eleven..."

These words were like sharp daggers, stabbing into Zhou Chang's heart again and again.

Unbeatable, completely unbeatable. Even if it was level eleven, facing an evolved level eleven Spirit Beast was still unbeatable, and it was still highly likely to be crushed!

This was entirely because once an evolution occurred, it meant that while they gained elemental power, their physical body would also be significantly strengthened.

More importantly, the federal Class Competition rules had changed!

"Brother, what do we do? If we get caught by that black wolf, we'll die, right!"

The two Green Wolves were galloping side by side. The younger brother, Zhou Shen, looked at his older brother with eyes full of panic, his hand on the Green Wolf's back trembling uncontrollably. "Didn't Li Dong say that Qin Ding's Beast was trash?"

"I don't know. I also want to know where Qin Ding got so much money to raise a Beast. I also want to ask, if he isn't an orphan, where did he get the money to evolve his Beast!"

Zhou Chang was incredibly irritable at this moment. If someone said Qin Ding used the 200,000 from the Class Competition to raise his Beast to level eleven, he would believe it. But to say that Qin Ding went further and evolved his Beast—and with a species-spanning evolution like a dog evolving into a wolf—he didn't believe it!

He didn't believe it!

Because for a dog to evolve into a wolf, finding a Breeder on the market would cost at least 200,000 federal currency at the cheapest. If one wanted to evolve it into an even more powerful wolf, then even more money was needed!

The little bit obtained from the Class Competition was simply not enough!

On the back of the Sha Jin Wolf, Bai Muxue slowly raised her spear.

"Wan Kang, after I pierce through Zhou Chang, you follow closely and knock down the one fleeing."

"Hmm, uh? Ah?!"

Wan Kang, who realized what was happening after the fact, finally processed Bai Muxue's words. His eyes widened like copper bells as he stared fixedly at Bai Muxue, who was raising her spear, her posture resembling a knight launching a charge!

Pierce, knock down...

"Gulp."

Swallowing his saliva, Wan Kang wanted to say something, but Bai Muxue didn't give him any chance to speak, because right after she finished, the Sha Jin Wolf accelerated.

"Knock down... but this is a mace I'm holding. If I smash him once, won't there be a bunch of holes in his body..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Wan Kang accepted Bai Muxue's arrangement.

There was no other reason; he didn't want to give up being a Beast Tamer. Conflicts with other Beast Tamers were bound to happen sooner or later, so for now, he would treat this as practice and get used to it in advance.

"Pink Pig, speed up, speed up! Ram straight into the other one!"

In an instant, the galloping Pink Pig, despite its fat jiggling all over, saw a real increase in speed. It was just that its breathing became much heavier, and those pig eyes turned somewhat bloodshot.

Bai Muxue took a deep breath, gripped the spear shaft tightly with one hand, and lowered her body, the spear tip nearly touching the ground. As the two sides approached, her expression turned fierce, and she thrust the spear in her hand upward violently.

In an instant, as if sensing something, Zhou Chang happened to turn his head back at that exact moment, and what greeted him was a dazzling, cold glint.

This cold glint shrank infinitely in Zhou Chang's eyes, reaching him almost instantly.

It also chilled the hot blood in his body to the bone.

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced through Zhou Chang, exiting from his front abdomen. Zhou Chang's whole body was skewered and hung up like a piece of cured meat.

"Ugh, ahhh! I was wrong, Bai Muxue! I was wrong! I shouldn't have listened to Li Dong! I shouldn't have been blinded by greed and tried to harm Qin Ding!"

Bai Muxue gripped the spear shaft tightly with both hands, trying to ensure the spear didn't slip from her grasp and cause Zhou Chang to fall to the ground, her fair, pretty face flushed red from the effort.

Zhou Shen turned his head, attracted by Zhou Chang's miserable howl. At the same time, the Pink Pig, having burst forth with speed, had now carried Wan Kang to the side of the Green Wolf Zhou Shen was riding. Wan Kang, having steeled his heart, raised the mace in his hand at that moment.

"Brother...!"

"Get down!"

Zhou Shen's words were cut short before he could finish, because the mace had already smashed into his shoulder from the side. An indescribable, excruciating pain washed over Zhou Shen's entire body.

"Ugh, ugh!"

Having fallen from the back of the galloping Green Wolf and rolled several times on the ground, Zhou Shen was in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound. He curled his body up like a maggot, wanting to touch his wound, but the intense, dull pain throughout his body made his reaching hand freeze in the air.

The Pink Pig, having completed Wan Kang's goal, suddenly released its effort and actually stopped quickly. However, after stopping, the Pink Pig's limbs were shaking, as if it would collapse to the ground the next moment.

Bai Muxue glanced casually at Wan Kang's side. Seeing that Wan Kang had decisively knocked Zhou Shen down, a flash of admiration passed through her eyes.

The next second, Bai Muxue, sitting on the back of the Sha Jin Wolf, suddenly stumbled. Her hands failed to hold onto the spear, causing Zhou Chang, along with the spear, to fall to the ground.

Just moments ago, Da Hei, having heard Zhou Chang's words, could no longer restrain itself. It shook its body violently, dislodging the spear with the person on it from Bai Muxue's hands, and then decisively pounced toward the Green Wolf in front.

"Awooo!"

"[Everyone must die! Everyone must die!]"

"Hey, hey! Da Hei!"

With the spear knocked down, Bai Muxue hurriedly shouted, but she saw that the Sha Jin Wolf had already completed its pounce, and Zhou Chang's Green Wolf was beneath the Sha Jin Wolf!
