Chapter 898 - Role Transition (1/2)

Although they were both at the middle stage of the Voiding Realm, Qin Haodong’s Spirit was much more sensitive than Zhao Xingyue’s. He had long sensed that someone was approaching.

He immediately pulled the two girls through the trees and finally chose a big tree with dense branches and leaves to hide.

Not long after they hid, three figures arrived. They stopped near the tree.

“What’s going on? I clearly felt that someone was here. How did he suddenly disappear?”

The one who spoke was the murderous Xue Pan. Beside him was He Kaishan. There was also an old student who had reached the early stage of the Voiding Realm, Hao Wei.

The three of them looked around carefully and found no one. Hao Wei said, “Brother Xue, are you mistaken?”

Xue Pan said with a puzzled face, “I shouldn’t be mistaken! I clearly felt that someone was here. How did he suddenly disappear?”

He Kaishan said, “Brother Xue, don’t worry. The competition has just begun. Qin Haodong won’t be able to escape from us.”

Xue Pan nodded. “Let’s go ahead and look. We must find him.”

Then the three of them rushed forward again.

“Three idiots!”

The Little Witch giggled and was about to jump down from the tree but Qin Haodong held her back, indicating for her not to speak.

She did not understand why Qin Haodong did this. Since they had already left, what else was there to be afraid of? But out of trust in Qin Haodong, she still closed her mouth, squatted on the branch, and looked down.

A few minutes later, Xue Pan and the other two appeared under the tree again.

He Kaishan said, “Brother Xue, it seems that you were overthinking. There is indeed no one here.”

Xue Pan said doubtfully, “It seems that I was wrong.”

When they left again, Qin Haodong jumped down from the tree with the Little Witch and Zhao Xingyue.

The Little Witch said, “Xue Pan is quite cunning.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Big Brother Qin, why don’t we hide in the tree? They can’t find us anyway.”

Qin Haodong said speechlessly, “Don’t forget the rules of our academy. If we can’t reach the exit of the canyon in 24 hours, we will lose and have to forfeit all the Spirit Stones.”

The Little Witch said, “Sister Xingyue, I really don’t know what you are afraid of. If Big Brother Qin hadn’t asked me to hide, I would have summoned the Silver Claw Octopus that would have devoured them all.”

Qin Haodong suddenly thought of something. Although he had now received 20,000 Spirit Stones as a reward, it belonged to three people. It was not good for him to take it all for himself.

In this way, there was still some distance from his goal of 100,000 Spirit Stones. He had to find a way to make more money.

He asked, “Hongying, according to the rules of the competition in the academy, can we rob old students of their top-level Spirit Stones?”

“Of course,” Luo Hongying said, “what’s the hunting competition for? Everyone else is your prey. You can snatch the Spirit Stones as long as you have the ability to do so.

“However, generally speaking, the strength of the new students is much weaker than that of the old students. It is lucky enough that they will not be robbed. Few new students dare to rob the old students of their Spirit stones.

“In the past, when I participated in this kind of competition, be it as an individual or a unit, no one dared to rob me but I robbed them of a lot of top-level Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be ranked second in the whole academy.”

Qin Haodong said, “In that case, we can’t go back empty-handed this time. We must grab more.”

The Little Witch shouted excitedly, “Good! Great! That’s the most exciting. I don’t want any money. I’ll give it all to you, my little brother.”

She had always been fearless and didn’t care much about money. What she cared about was the process of getting the money.

Zhao Xingyue said nervously, “Big Brother Qin, I don’t want my share of the money. Can we not rob others? Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.”

Qin Haodong said, “Xingyue, remember that no matter where you go, the weak are the prey of the strong. It’s the law of nature. If you don’t dare to rob others, others will come to rob you.”

Zhao Xingyue nodded and said, “Well, I’ll listen to you.”

After the three reached an agreement, they rushed forward together to find their first target.

In the dense forest, three old students in black school uniforms galloped over.

A tall and thin student said, “Boss, we seem to be unlucky this time. We haven’t found a single freshman.”

Another student added, “Yes, for this hunting competition, we have invested a lot of money to buy pills. We have finally improved our cultivation. If we can’t find new students to rob, we will lose money.”

The student whom they addressed as the boss was Li Yunhe. Just a month ago, he was still at the early stage of the Voiding Realm. However, in order to obtain more Spirit Stones in this hunting competition, he spent a large sum of money to buy a Voidbreaker Pill and improved his cultivation to the middle stage of the Voiding Realm.

“Don’t worry! Only an hour has passed. As long as we can find new students, their money will be ours.”

The tall and thin student said, “Boss is right. Now you are at the middle stage of the Voiding Realm and the two of us are at the early stage of the Voiding Realm. Although those freshmen looked great on the arena, compared to us, they are still rookies.”

“Of course. With our current cultivation, except for Murong Jinghong and the others, no one can compare with us, let alone those new students.”

A wisp of complacency suffused the corners of Li Yunhe’s mouth. “We must make the best use of our time. Otherwise, others will beat us to it and we won’t be able to get much money.”

“According to the rules of the academy, only half of the Spirit Stones are allowed to be taken. The earlier we take action, the more money we will get.”

After that, the three of them rushed forward and kept looking for traces of the new students.
