In the secluded hunting grounds, the wind rustles the trees, yet no birdsong is heard; the trees sway and the grass stirs, yet no wild beasts are seen.

Beneath a few withered trees, a shirtless young man was peeling the fur off a monster and taking out an irregular crystal.

"I almost died from exhaustion just to get a level two wood-attribute beast crystal!" the young man exclaimed.

The boy sat cross-legged, the Spirit Devouring Stone circulating within his body, forming an invisible vortex that completely devoured the soul power of the dead demon beast.

From the outside, the boy appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, recovering his internal energy; nothing else was perceptible to outsiders.

After a short while, the boy slowly opened his eyes, seemingly having completely absorbed the soul power of the dead monster. He got up, stretched, and then took out the Qiankun bag hanging at his waist.

The boy was Qin Xin. The dead beast was a level two wolf-type demon beast. Qin Xin had spent a lot of effort to kill it. His clothes had already been torn apart by Qin Yunfeng's sword energy, and with the fight with the level two wolf-type demon beast, they could no longer cover his body, so Qin Xin simply threw them away.

Qin Xin probed into the interior space of the Qiankun Bag, and an area of ​​about five cubic meters came into view.

The internal space of the Qiankun Bag is also known as the Qiankun Space, which is essentially the same as the Space Ring.

However, low-level Qiankun bags only have about five cubic meters, while the highest-level Qiankun bags only have about a hundred cubic meters. The lowest-level space rings and space bracelets, on the other hand, have several hundred cubic meters. The main reason for this is that the Qiankun space of a Qiankun bag is constructed by an array, which is not particularly stable. If it is damaged even slightly, everything inside will be destroyed. Space rings and space bracelets, on the other hand, are made of "Na Stone" and their internal space is naturally formed, making them more stable. Therefore, space rings and space bracelets are rare and expensive, while Qiankun bags are more commonly circulated.

Qin Xin looked at the ordinary medicinal herbs he had collected in the jungle and five irregular crystals that emitted a faint glow inside the Qiankun bag.

"Sigh, even with this level-two wood-attribute beast crystal, I've only collected six so far. Those people will probably be even faster," Qin Xin thought to himself.

Because Qin Xin would cultivate after each monster kill, his monster-hunting progress was much slower. With more than a day left before the end, Qin Xin began to feel anxious.

After storing the level-two wood-attribute beast crystal in his Qiankun bag, Qin Xin turned and disappeared into the jungle, concealing his figure.

At this moment, outside the hunting park's secret realm, many clansmen were carefully watching the projection within the hunting park's secret realm.

"Qin Yunfeng truly deserves to be the number one young disciple of our clan. He has already killed three level-two demonic beasts, one of which was a mid-level level-two demonic beast, and he has also killed as many as fifty level-one demonic beasts."

The clansmen looked at Qin Yunfeng, who was dressed in the Qin clan uniform and holding a green wooden sword, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, otherwise Yunfeng wouldn't have been chosen by the clan and recruited into the clan for cultivation!"

"Tch! I think Qin Yunfeng doesn't respect us clansmen at all. He even returned to the clan wearing the clan uniform to show off."

"What do you know! That's a symbol of status!"

"What identity or not? I know I am a member of the Tianyuan Qin Clan. As for that so-called clan, it's all bullshit."

The people around the training ground were making a racket, discussing the family members in the Hunting Garden Secret Realm.

“I think Qin Xue has a better chance of becoming a leader among the young people in the clan.”

"After all, he was able to enter the Eastern Wilderness Academy, possess a four-star Martial Spirit, and has now reached the second level of the Innate Realm."

As the group looked over, they saw a small sparrow with reddish feathers perched on Qin Xue's shoulder, while the four feathers on its head shimmered with blue light. This sparrow was Qin Xue's four-star martial spirit, the Fire Spirit Cloud Sparrow.

Qin Xue held a level-two demon beast crystal in her hand. With a slight twitch of her fingertips, the beast crystal disappeared into thin air. A jade bracelet appeared on her slender hand for a moment and then suddenly disappeared. This was a spatial bracelet, but it seemed to be a little different from ordinary spatial bracelets.

"I wonder how that little rascal Qin Xin is doing?"

Qin Xue pursed her lips. She had been searching for Qin Xin in this hunting park secret realm for two days without finding him. She was a little anxious, but after glancing at the beast crystals she had collected, she breathed a sigh of relief. With the number of beast crystals she had, ranking in the top five should not be a big problem. Even if Qin Xin had been eliminated, she had at least obtained a spot in the Spirit Cleansing Pool.

"Never mind that little rascal." Qin Xue said, preparing to leave to continue hunting monsters.

"Ahem, Sister Xue, are you looking for me?"

The sudden sound made Qin Xue immediately stop in her tracks. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Qin Xin shirtless with a smile on his lips. This sight startled Qin Xue, and a blush crept onto her face.

"You little rascal, why aren't you wearing any clothes!"

Qin Xue quickly closed her eyes and turned her head away.

"I wanted to too, but my shirt was torn to shreds by Qin Yunfeng's sword energy."

As soon as Qin Xin finished speaking, Qin Xue, disregarding her shyness, quickly turned around, looked Qin Xin up and down, and only felt relieved when she saw that he was not injured.

"What? You actually ran into that guy Qin Yunfeng?" Qin Xue was somewhat surprised. She was astonished that Qin Xin could escape from a martial artist at the third level of the Innate Realm, and Qin Yunfeng was no ordinary martial artist at the third level of the Innate Realm.

"Yes, luckily I'm quick on my feet, otherwise I would have had to crush the jade talisman." Qin Xin smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, I didn't expect the little hooligan to have such a good physique." Qin Xue's sudden bold remark almost made Qin Xin bite his tongue.

"Cough cough..." Qin Xin couldn't help but cough a few times.

However, Qin Xin's physique is indeed very good now. Due to the effects of the Meridian Tempering and Bone Strengthening Pill, coupled with Dan Qing's grueling training, his body gives people a sense of resilience. In fact, Qin Xin's physical strength is several times stronger than before.

"How's the collection of beast crystals going?" Qin Xue asked.

"Not ideal, only six," Qin Xin sighed and said.

"Six is ​​indeed a bit too few. There's only one day left. It will be very difficult to get into the top five unless you have a higher-grade beast crystal." Qin Xue frowned and said without hesitation, "Anyway, with the beast crystals I have, getting into the top five is no problem. I'll also give you a spot in the Spirit Cleansing Pool."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to take my own things back myself," Qin Xin replied calmly.

“A day is a long time, and those people are constantly hunting monsters.” Qin Xue looked at Qin Xin’s stubborn expression, and although she didn’t want to discourage him, she shook her head and said.

"So I'd like to invite Sister Xue to join me in doing something big." A smile suddenly flashed across Qin Xin's lips as he stared at Qin Xue and said.

"What do you mean?" Looking at Qin Xin's gaze, which was full of confidence, Qin Xue seemed to see Qin Xin before his martial bone was taken away. Back then, the boy always exuded confidence.

But then she suddenly remembered being chased around the Qin Clan Manor by him back then, and her face flushed again.

"Sister Xue, would you like to challenge a level three monster with me?"

Qin Xin's words immediately interrupted Qin Xue's thoughts.
