As expected, the Secret Realm is truly a treasure trove.
Outside, even if you encounter a Steel-winged Bird, it would definitely be an adult. With Ye Ling’s current strength, the chances of defeating an adult Steel-winged Bird are almost zero.
Although he had already collected the evolution materials, Ye Ling did not waste the meat of the Steel-winged Bird. He took a portion of it to serve as his lunch and dinner.
As for other demons or animals he might encounter later, that would be another story.
The best meat on a Steel-winged Bird is the neck meat. Even in Skyshine City, this meat is usually only available in high-end hotels.
Catching or killing a Steel-winged Bird in the wild requires considerable strength. Therefore, the Federation credit points needed to eat this delicacy are quite high.
After collecting the neck meat he wanted, Ye Ling headed back down the mountain path he had come from.
Blood Phantom naturally followed closely behind. Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Ling would never put Blood Phantom back into the Spiritual Pet Seal.
After all, this was the Secret Realm, where all kinds of demons could exist.
If some sneaky demon launched a surprise attack, Ye Ling could be in big trouble without a spiritual pet to defend him. Summoning a spiritual pet takes time, after all.
…
Outside the Secret Realm, all the representatives were silent.
Most of them had initially thought Ye Ling was just a bottom-tier student.
But the unexpectedly swift end to the battle gave them a harsh reality check.
Huo Ling watched Ye Ling and Blood Phantom leave with great interest, a faint smile on her face. Coupled with her enchanting beauty mark, she was truly a captivating sight.
“This student is quite interesting. I didn’t expect him to take down a First Rank, Fourth Level Steel-winged Bird so easily.”
Propping her chin with one hand, Huo Ling glanced at the others around her, curious to hear their opinions.
Bai Tong nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, it’s impressive. For someone so young in Skyshine City to have this level of strength is quite remarkable.”
“And…”
Before Bai Tong could finish, Lu Feng interjected.
“And it’s a rare humanoid spiritual pet. I’m looking forward to his future performance.”
Clearly, just by defeating a Steel-winged Bird, Ye Ling had caught the attention of these top Spirit Tamer representatives.
Of course, it was just a mild interest. As for the top ten students, these representatives hadn’t considered him yet.
Every student in the top ten was a genius. Ye Ling, for now, only piqued their curiosity, not enough to truly impress them.
Among the four, only Hong Xiu remained indifferent, showing little interest in Ye Ling.
“You can have him, but… don’t fight me for the next girl.”
Hong Xiu pinched her brow in slight frustration.
What could she do? If Ye Ling were a girl, she would have competed for him too.
But a boy… forget it.
Sitting in the main seat, Shang Lingkong had already sent someone to gather information on Ye Ling the moment he first summoned Blood Phantom.
“Lord, here is the information you requested.”
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Just as he was thinking about it, a subordinate arrived with a small computer. Taking the device, Shang Lingkong waved the subordinate away.
Once alone, Shang Lingkong opened the computer and began reviewing Ye Ling’s information.
He took a sip of tea, but as he read, his eyes widened in shock.
“Poof!” He spat out the tea he had just drunk.
The sudden reaction naturally caught the attention of the other representatives.
The four top Spirit Tamer Academy representatives sitting at the front also noticed the small computer in Shang Lingkong’s hand.
Exchanging glances, they discreetly moved closer to Shang Lingkong, peeking at the screen.
“Zombie Spiritual Pet?!”
Upon seeing the information and the name of the spiritual pet, Huo Ling exclaimed. Her sudden outburst made Shang Lingkong aware of the people behind him. He quickly closed the computer and pretended to be calm, continuing to sip his tea.
Despite his outward composure, Shang Lingkong was deeply shocked.
Ye Ling’s spiritual pet was a zombie.
Shang Lingkong knew exactly what zombies were like.
Ragged and terrifying, zombies were never expected to look like this. If you said it was human, people might believe it. But if you said it was a zombie, no one would.
The image of zombies in people’s minds had long been fixed.
Everyone knew zombies couldn’t possibly look like Ye Ling’s spiritual pet.
Seeing no way to get more detailed information, the four representatives felt a bit helpless. Student information wasn’t something to be hidden, was it?
Huo Ling pursed her lips and glared at Shang Lingkong’s back.
