Zhang He seemed to have obtained internal information from someone, and then reported a number of accurate names and information about spirit beasts.

Qin Ming listened carefully and silently made sense of it. "Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal later."

"No problem! Keep it up, junior! Give those arrogant guys a shock as a 'newcomer'!" Zhang He laughed and hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Qin Ming pondered quietly.

—The higher the level of a spirit beast, the more diverse and flexible its skills will be in terms of attack range and application, and the more experienced it will be in combat.

Finding weaknesses in attributes or tactics and achieving cross-level challenges as easily as before is no easy task.

He let out a long breath, but when he saw the composed Cang Xuan, the eager Ke Da, and the absent-minded Xiao Pang beside him, Qin Ming's lips curled into a confident smile.

……

At the same time, Zhang He, who had just hung up the phone, had his door pushed open.

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a refined and calm demeanor walked in; it was Si Yan.

"Zhang He, why did you ask me for the detailed list and information of this year's 'Hunter' missions?"

"Hey, it's nothing. Junior Qin needed it, so I had to support him, right?"

Zhang He answered readily, but his voice carried a hint of glee, as if he were enjoying watching the drama unfold.

"Junior Brother Qin... Qin Ming?" Si Yan paused slightly and repeated to confirm.

"Yeah." Zhang He nodded, slid the seat around haphazardly, unable to hide his excitement.

Having received confirmation, Si Yan adjusted his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

He said no more, turned around and sat back down at his desk, his fingers rapidly tapping on the screen, the whole set of movements smooth, precise and efficient.

"What's wrong? What happened to you...?"

Seeing Si Yan's sudden action, Zhang He was a little confused, but his intuition was pounding wildly.

He crept closer and craned his neck to look.

The screen displayed a popular betting section from the campus forum: "This Year's 'Hunter' Mission: Result Prediction Odds!"

They watched helplessly as Si Yan invested a considerable amount of academy points into the option with the highest odds, the least popular choice, but the one that would yield the greatest reward if correct – [Summer camp students win by a large margin].

!! ?

Zhang He suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "Damn! You're the one who really knows how to think!"

"Wait! The betting odds... are they about to close?!"

He frantically pulled out his phone, and in one swift motion, he completed the fingerprint and iris verification. In a split second, Zhang He successfully put all his college points into a certain option!

After doing all this, Zhang He let out a long sigh of relief, his heart still pounding. It was so exciting!

He glanced at Si Yan, who stood calmly beside him, and couldn't help but ask, "You think so highly of Qin Ming, aren't you even a little hesitant?"

Si Yan looked up and retorted, "Aren't you the same?"

The two exchanged a glance and smiled silently, a tacit understanding flowing in the air.

They both saw a certain approval and expectation in each other's eyes.

However, the next second, Si Yan refreshed the betting odds page. When he saw that the odds of a certain option had dropped instantly due to the influx of Zhang He's considerable amount of points, the faint smile on his face vanished instantly.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang He silently. His gaze behind his glasses was calm and even, yet extremely intense.

Zhang He felt uneasy under his gaze, coughed twice, and chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem... well, good stuff... let's share, let's share..."

Si Yan remained unmoved, watching Zhang He's confidence wane before finally withdrawing his gaze and casually remarking, "Next time you have this kind of information, remember to speak up sooner!"

Zhang He: "..."

6!

Hours later, "Qin Ming, over here! Over here!"

From a great distance, Qin Ming saw a crowd waving at him, with Zeng Fu'an at the head.

Although they had communicated on the phone before, Qin Ming was still overjoyed when he saw the familiar faces in front of him and saw Wowa Zhijun running over to welcome him.

"Brother, don't look so stiff," Qin Ming said, leading the handsome Wowa horse towards Zeng Fu'an. The horse affectionately nuzzled his hand with its nose.

"Wowa's steed has grown even taller and more handsome. Your spirit master has taken good care of you."

The handsome horse, hearing the words of praise, blinked its clear and gentle eyes and let out a soft, joyful neigh.

Zeng Fu'an's expression softened a little, though he still felt a bit uneasy—he didn't just raise horses, these were his horses! His companions!

"Alright, enough joking around, we need to hurry." Qin Ming's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

With a thought, three streams of light appeared from the Spirit Control Space.

"Caw~" With a crisp cry carrying a high fighting spirit, Keda spreads its gorgeous wings and makes a radiant entrance.

"Awoo~" A deep and powerful wolf howl rang out, and Cang Xuan appeared with steady and elegant steps. His silver-white fur shimmered, and his aura was profound and restrained.

"Hiccup~" An untimely hiccup slightly ruined the grand entrance. Little Fatty crawled a few steps slowly, his beady eyes still showing a hint of post-experiment satisfaction.

He was quite busy along the way, constantly testing the stability of items carried by his Void Escape technique with various kinds of fish and shrimp. He worked very hard and also ate quite a lot along the way.

As soon as Keda appeared, his gaze met that of Xuanhe beside Shen Yanqing.

Both being top-tier spirit beasts belonging to the avian family, there seemed to be an invisible aura colliding and intertwining between them.

The black crane has a tall and straight posture, black feathers, and an elegant neck, exuding a cool and proud temperament.

He was surrounded by a hazy moon halo and water vapor, and his eyes were filled with confidence and a warlike light.

They vied to show off their extraordinary aura, drawing gasps of amazement from the surrounding students.

"Wow! Qin Ming, your Luan bird has broken through again?! This aura... is astonishing!"

"So beautiful and elegant... Our aerial power is so strong!"

The appearance of Cang Xuan made the summer camp students who were familiar with him feel convinced and at ease.

Cang Xuan's aura didn't seem to have changed much, yet it was clearly right in front of you, giving you the illusion that it was sometimes clear and sometimes about to fade away with time.

Everyone looked closely, but couldn't quite put their finger on what was going on; they just felt it was unfathomable.

But they absolutely trust this "boss" who has always been in charge of the overall situation and led everyone to "farm scientifically".

Otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly taken time out of his busy schedule to loosen the soil and dig the ground—although to some extent, it was also Cang Xuan guiding them in practicing skill control.

As for Little Fatty, there isn't really any dramatic change in his appearance; he might just be a bit rounder.

But ever since they learned that Qin Ming's spirit beasts all possessed the amazing [Multiply] skill, no one could accurately estimate their true size.

And think about it, Keda and Cangxuan have made such huge breakthroughs, so how could Xiaopang, who is on the same team, be simple?

Therefore, for a time no one dared to underestimate this silly-looking black tortoise that occasionally hiccuped; instead, they all cast curious and inquisitive glances at it.
