Chapter 49 – Conjecture


“Such an outstanding student, and I can only watch as you three divide him up. Just thinking about it breaks my heart,” Hong Xiu said with a slightly helpless expression.

Hearing this, Huo Ling replied with a smile, “Hehe! Sister Hong Xiu, you can’t blame us for this. It’s your own school’s rules; you didn’t want him.”

It was fortunate that Ye Ling was a male. If he were a female, there would probably be another faction vying for him.

“Sigh!” Hong Xiu could only let out a deep sigh.

Besides the representatives from the four top Spirit Tamer Academies, other Spirit Tamer Academies also noticed Ye Ling. They could only smile bitterly in their hearts, knowing that such a genius was destined to be out of their reach.

The higher the level of the Spirit Tamer Academy, the better the treatment they offered. Not only that, but their faculty was also much stronger.

This was something that those other Spirit Tamer Academies simply couldn’t compete with. Given the choice, it was obvious what most people would choose.

Unless Ye Ling failed to make it into the top ten in the next round of assessments, only then would those other Spirit Tamer Academies have a chance. The four top Spirit Tamer Academies generally wouldn’t consider students outside the top ten.

But thinking about it, if Ye Ling couldn’t even make it into the top ten, that would be truly unbelievable.

Sitting at the front, Shang Lingkong occasionally glanced at the documents in his hand. He had thoroughly reviewed Ye Ling’s past experiences and found nothing unusual, which reassured him somewhat. Ye Ling was indeed who he claimed to be.

As for why Ye Ling’s Zombie Spiritual Pet had suddenly become so powerful, Shang Lingkong speculated that perhaps Ye Ling’s Zombie Spiritual Pet was different from ordinary ones.

Shang Lingkong knew exactly what common zombies were like. But Ye Ling’s zombie was clearly different from ordinary ones.

Common Zombie Spiritual Pets had strong defense and great strength but were very slow and moved by hopping rather than walking.

However, Ye Ling’s Zombie Spiritual Pet was incredibly agile and didn’t need to hop at all. Clearly, it wasn’t an ordinary Zombie Spiritual Pet.

Shang Lingkong had reason to suspect that Ye Ling’s Zombie Spiritual Pet might have undergone some mutation or was simply different from common zombies, perhaps a type of pet similar to zombies.

As for the idea of zombie evolution, Shang Lingkong hadn’t even considered it. Since the advent of Spirit Tamers, no one had successfully evolved a Zombie Spiritual Pet.

Shang Lingkong couldn’t believe that an ordinary student like Ye Ling could achieve this. If Ye Ling really did, it would be groundbreaking.

That would be something to go down in history, and Shang Lingkong didn’t think Ye Ling could do it. It was just too far-fetched.

The Federation had many researchers dedicated to studying these evolutionary methods. After so many years and so much effort, how could a young person achieve it so easily?

Zombie Spiritual Pets had been studied before, but no results were ever achieved, and the research was eventually abandoned.

Shang Lingkong decided that once Ye Ling came out, he would have a good chat with him to understand what kind of pet Ye Ling had and resolve his own doubts.

Back in the Secret Realm, the cave halfway up the mountain was filled with a strong scent of blood. Ye Ling had no choice but to abandon this base and leave.

The blood scent was too strong, and it wouldn’t be long before a large number of demons were attracted. For his own safety, Ye Ling had to leave this very comfortable place.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the cold moonlight once again shone over the Secret Realm. Ye Ling, with Blood Phantom, set off to find a new place to stay. As for where that new place would be, Ye Ling hadn’t decided yet.

This time, having had previous experience, Ye Ling would be particularly cautious. He would try not to attract demons to his new survival spot.

While Ye Ling was finding a new place to stay, many demons in the forest were gradually approaching his previous mountain top base.

Various carnivorous demons were approaching the mountainside, drawn by the strong scent of blood. When they reached the mountainside, they discovered numerous Shadow Demon Wolf corpses.

Except for a few demons, most of them disdained eating the leftover corpses directly. Therefore, demons of different species began eyeing the nearest other demons.

In the forest, they were already in a predatory relationship with each other. Now, gathered together by the scent of blood, they wouldn’t miss the chance to attack their enemies.

“Roar!!” A large number of demons entangled with each other, starting a fierce battle.
