79: Chapter 79 The Spirit Realm, Crisis Begins to Emerge

Since it was clear that the matter of Cui Yan knowing his name was a misunderstanding, Qin Ding naturally could not continue to stay in such a dangerous place, so he immediately prepared to leave with Da Hei.

However, just as he had taken a few steps, his body suddenly stiffened, and a familiar sense of crisis arose in his heart.

It was just like back at the school cafeteria; at that time, it was Bai Muxue who told him that Li Dong was standing at the cafeteria entrance with a few lackeys, eyeing him.

Suddenly, Qin Ding's face turned cold in an instant. He whipped his head around, his gaze immediately locking onto Xiang Tian, who was looking at him but seemed a bit dazed.

"Are you thinking in your heart about how to kill me in this Spirit Realm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Tian's expression froze instantly, his pupils trembled, and a flash of disbelief flickered in their depths.

How did he know? Even Tier 2 Mental Power shouldn't have this level of acuity!

Xiang Tian's Sha Jin Wolf took a step forward and locked eyes with Qin Ding's Sha Jin Wolf. Of the same kind and species, they were currently confronting each other head-on.

Cui Yan, who had also heard these words, was stunned. Subconsciously glancing at Xiang Tian, she could not help but take a few steps in Qin Ding's direction.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely this action that caused the vigilant Qin Ding to frown directly.

With a flick of his right hand, a long spear appeared, and he stared straight at Cui Yan.

"You kindly reminded me just now; although it was wrong, your intentions were good, so I corrected your statement as a return."

"Don't follow me; I'm afraid of being dragged to my death by you."

Shifting his tone, Qin Ding's gaze locked back onto Xiang Tian.

"Especially you."

After saying this, Qin Ding glanced at the wound on the Earth Dog's back that had only recently been bandaged. He did not mount it, but instead moved quickly in one direction together with the Earth Dog.

However, to Qin Ding's surprise, his words not only failed to ruin Cui Yan's impression of him but instead left her very surprised.

"So tough?"

Cui Yan had practiced the whip since she was young, her figure had always been excellent, and she inherited her looks from her mother, which were also not bad. However, due to her family background, most of the people who took the initiative to surround her since she was a child were fake friends who spoke insincere words.

Their goal was also obvious: nothing more than wanting to flatter her and get some 'reward money' from her.

Her family had always spoiled her, so she looked down upon those who did not work hard themselves and only used schemes to take shortcuts, or 'phoenix men' who wanted to climb the social ladder, especially people like Xiang Tian.

In her eyes, Xiang Tian was just a playboy who only knew how to flaunt his family background. His pursuit of her was merely for the high-quality spirit material channels that her father's company could provide.

But she was truly seeing someone like Qin Ding for the first time—someone who clearly had nothing but was so firm in his confidence and tone, and who knew to offer a return after the misunderstanding was cleared up.

"But listening to what he just said, he understands the rules of the Spirit Realm very well? Interesting... Isn't this content that one only comes into contact with after entering the Martial Academy..."

"Perhaps following him, the probability of getting out alive will be greater. He is an orphan, he has nothing..."

Cui Yan seemed to have thought of something and chased straight after Qin Ding's departing figure. As for Xiang Tian? It would be good if he could die in the Spirit Realm, saving her dad from having to bicker with his grandfather in the future.

Watching the figures leaving one after another in front, Xiang Tian's fists could not help but clench.

"Woo." [Boss, where are we going next?]

"The moment the Spirit Realm opens, it will pull people and spirit beasts that meet the criteria into the Spirit Realm. Although the landing point is random, it will be near the rift."

Qin Ding scanned the surroundings. "Earth Dog, smell which direction the spirit beast scents are moving towards."

"Woo!" [Boss, I know, is it that spirit beasts inside the Spirit Realm can also go to our side through the rift!]

Qin Ding nodded. "Yes, when a Spirit Realm appears, the spirit beasts inside can go to our world, but the strongest Beast King in their Spirit Realm cannot leave. For example, the one we are currently in is a Primary Spirit Realm."

"The strongest Beast King is a Commander Rank spirit beast, and the only way to destroy the Spirit Realm is to kill the Beast King within it. As for going back, it's not exactly..."

Just as Qin Ding was speaking, about five meters to his side, the swamp instantly exploded. A giant python, with a head nearly the size of a human head, opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Qin Ding.

In an instant, Qin Ding, holding his long spear, only had time to turn his head before that foul wind had already rushed into his nasal cavity.

So fast! No, it's too late to thrust the long spear!

"Awoo!"

A low wolf howl exploded beside Qin Ding. The black figure's speed far exceeded Qin Ding's speed in raising his spear, directly knocking over the giant python that was ambushing them. The Gold-Breaking Claw, like black steel, slashed across the giant python's lower jaw.

At the moment of impact, the giant python's scales were like butter meeting a hot knife; they were instantly sliced open, melted, and the entire lower jaw was severed directly.

[Spirit Beast: Soundless Python] [Qualification: Common] [Element: Water] [Level: 11 (High Rank)] [Ability: Soundless, High-Pressure Piercing Teeth] [Bloodline: Snake-type (100%)] [Evolution Direction Snake-type: Needs to reach Level 31.] [Qualification Improvement: ...] [Introduction: A common type of python spirit beast in swamp areas. After biting the prey, the sharp teeth in its mouth can be shot into the prey's body through the bite wound with the help of water element thrust. Its strength has significant regional limitations; not recommended for cultivation.] [Ability - Soundless: Moving in swamp areas without making a sound or exposing aura.]

The Soundless Python, whose head had been sliced open by the Sha Jin Wolf, crashed directly into the swamp, splashing mud and water all over Qin Ding and the Sha Jin Wolf.

"Woo." [Boss, it's okay.]

Looking at the floating corpse and the spreading blood, Qin Ding breathed a sigh of relief while his expression became serious.

"After taking the inner core, we must leave quickly to avoid anything finding us by following the scent of blood."

With a thrust and a flick of the long spear, a pale blue round bead appeared. Qin Ding quickly put it away, not even having time to wipe off the bloodstains, and immediately stored it in his Storage Ring.

"Let's go."

Just as Qin Ding and the Sha Jin Wolf were preparing to continue moving forward, a hurried and familiar voice came from behind.

"Qin Ding, wait!"
