Chapter 1987: Chapter 1983: I Have a Wife!

Tang Zhong crushed the Recording Stone into powder!

A Ding was shocked, unable to believe it was true. After all, earlier, this very stone had terrified Peng Linchao so much!

A Recording Stone, void of any content, could actually achieve that!

"Unbelievable!" A Ding exclaimed.

Tang Zhong looked at A Ding, noting that A Ding’s ability to articulate these thoughts was already extraordinary.

"As long as you can grasp someone’s weakness, you can easily take their life. Nearly everyone is just ordinary; you don’t need to fear them. If someone punches you, you must return that punch no matter what!" Tang Zhong advised.

At this moment, he was encouraging A Ding, urging him to transform!

Once A Ding undergoes transformation, he can safely leave.

"Let’s go!" Tang Zhong said.

"Where are we going?" A Ding asked. "With the dormitory in that state, we can’t live there anymore!"

"I never said we had to go to the dormitory!" Tang Zhong replied.

"Then where are we going?" A Ding asked, confused, looking at Tang Zhong.

"The inn is so nice, why go to the dormitory? There are so many companions there, surely you want to enjoy yourself?" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Yi Zhong, I’d love to, but we need money to go there. Without money, it’s impossible!" A Ding replied.

"Then let’s find a way to make money!" Tang Zhong exclaimed.

"I noticed there are projects in the Mission Hall buying Demon Beast materials. We can hunt Demon Beasts, collect materials, and trade those materials for money. That money is enough for us to stay at the inn!" Tang Zhong suggested.

While this is secondary, Tang Zhong’s primary goal is to train A Ding, as A Ding’s strength needs to transform, and transformation comes through combat.

Previously in the Tribe, Tang Zhong observed A Ding’s strength. The way he fought Demon Beasts was too crude, indicating he lacked substantial real combat experience. To become strong, he must now endure tough battles!

Thus, the best method is to hunt for Demon Beast materials and then trade them for money!

A Ding was stunned, staring at Tang Zhong: "Will that really work?"

"Of course!" Tang Zhong said confidently, "We’ve completed the trial, so we can venture into the Academy’s outskirts!"

A Ding didn’t have a choice but to follow Tang Zhong to the Mission Hall and start reviewing tasks!

They memorized all the necessary Demon Beast materials.

At the Mission Hall, the most urgently needed material was something called Earth Wolf Galls!

Earth Wolf Galls are generally used for alchemy.

Right now, they’re in great demand.

Earth Wolf Galls are extracted from Earth Wolves.

Earth Wolves live underground, merging with the soil!

Moreover, they’re extremely ferocious!

The two accepted a task to hunt for Earth Wolf Galls.

At the Mission Hall, they’re informed about the area where Earth Wolf Galls can be found, making them easy to locate.

The two quickly arrived at the location.

Earth Wolves are like underground mice, capable of burrowing.

"Go ahead, hunt alone!" Tang Zhong found a spot, sat down, and crossed his legs.

Now all responsibilities were handed over to A Ding!

A Ding began the hunt for Earth Wolves.

His weapon was a knife!

To hunt Earth Wolves, he first needs to summon them from underground; otherwise, it won’t work.

Tang Zhong wouldn’t help A Ding and instead let him handle the hunt alone.

To hunt Earth Wolves, he used smoke to drive them out of the ground.

Smoke devices were already available.

A Ding dug a large pit on the ground, then placed the smoke device inside.

After that, he watched the surroundings.

Soon, from the underground, Earth Wolves began surfacing one after another!

They wailed in agony!

These Earth Wolves aren’t like ordinary animals with four legs. Instead, they’re like domesticated seals, having four tentacles!

Now, affected by the smoke, they couldn’t endure, rushing to the surface.

They began searching for the culprit!

A Ding immediately grabbed his weapon and engaged in battle!

With one stab, he killed an Earth Wolf.

However, the number of Earth Wolves increased; more crawled out from underground.

They seemed eager to devour A Ding.

One Earth Wolf might be manageable, but many Earth Wolves gathering together made things difficult for A Ding.

At that moment, all he could do was pant heavily!

"Help me!" A Ding called out to Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong was drinking on the tree, ignoring A Ding.

"You manage it yourself!"

A Ding had basics but lacked real combat experience. Now is the time for training; there was no possibility of Tang Zhong intervening!

A Ding was left with no choice.

He could only fight.

He was incredibly cautious, fearful of any mishaps, using various battlefield tactics. Eventually, all Earth Wolves were slain.

However, A Ding was injured; a chunk of flesh was bitten off his arm by an Earth Wolf.

The two extracted the Earth Wolf Galls and returned to the Academy.

After handing over the materials, they exchanged them for money.

The money was primarily used to buy supplements and medicine for A Ding to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible. The remaining money was spent staying at the inn and choosing companions!

As the inn companions were available in daily batches.

A Ding would choose a femme fatale each time to spend time with extensively!

Tang Zhong observed from the side!

The next early morning.

Tang Zhong took A Ding back out for another material-gathering task from the Mission Hall!

And so the cycle continued.

Materials were brought back, exchanged for money to buy medicine, supplements, then stay at the inn and choose companions!

After half a month, A Ding’s mindset had evidently changed.

His method of hunting Demon Beasts became swift, precise, and intense; with one swing, he could hit the Demon Beast’s weak spot and kill it.

Additionally, his mindset transformed, becoming incredibly fierce!

Moreover, his appearance changed. The previously frail figure somehow grew in height over the past few days.

Besides that, his skin darkened!

The entire being embodied a true warrior!

Yet the one thing that didn’t change was he continued to follow Tang Zhong.

Seeing A Ding change bit by bit, Tang Zhong felt greatly satisfied!

Such a transformed A Ding would likely face few threats within the Spring Autumn Academy in the future!

On this day.

In the inn.

A Ding was engaging with two companions at once; one companion was no longer sufficient for him, only two could satisfy him entirely!

"A Ding, can you moderate yourself a bit? You’re still young!" Tang Zhong teased from the side.

"It’s fine; I’m full of energy!" A Ding replied.

At this moment, A Ding recalled something and asked, "Yi Zhong, why does it seem like you’ve never chosen a companion!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhong chuckled: "Companions... I’m not interested, because I already have a wife and children, so I don’t need them!"
