A deathly silence fell over the scene once again, broken only by the howling wind and snow.
Lu Tongtong instantly reddened, and she kept sniffling.
The Fairy patted her on the back, Little Deer opened her arms and rushed into Qin Ze, bursting into tears.
Qin Ze smiled and patted the Little Deer's head, "You're such a big girl now, why are you still so prone to crying?"
Miss Sword Case doesn't like anyone getting so close to her best friend.
Seeing the Little Deer's pitiful, tear-streaked appearance, she didn't know what to say and muttered, "Even a Bai Chi wouldn't cry like this."
After crying for a while, the Little Deer finally stopped, raised her tear-streaked face, and said aggrievedly, "Why didn't you tell us?"
Qin Ze said apologetically, "I'm sorry everyone, I can't tell you I'm still alive until I break through to Level Nine."
"I'm about to break through, so there's no point in hiding it anymore."
Several grown men also had tears welling up in their eyes.
The Taoist kept saying, "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive."
Qin Ze waved to the rice dumpling-like figure in the sky. "Good evening Brother Shui!"
The Fairy snapped her fingers, and the vines untied her.
He Slacking on the Sidelines and sprinted to Qin Ze, punching him hard in the chest. "You bastard! You're taking advantage of us again!"
"You made us call you 'senior' in the group chat before, and then you called us 'sword cultivator senior.' You can't live without taking advantage of us, can you?"
He kept cursing and swearing, but tears were streaming down his face.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "I didn't force you. You all called me 'senior' on your own initiative."
The Scholar felt a strange sense of shame when they thought about how they used to address someone as a senior all the time.
Qin Ze addressed the crowd, saying, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Qin Ze, the eighth Human Race Hunter Beast Tamer, the Circus Troupe Leader, and an outstanding freshman at the Haidu Academy."
"Outstanding freshman my foot! You're an old fogey already. The legend of the Haidu Academy now is Little Deer," Slacking on the Sidelines said irritably.
"My lord, times have changed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tongtong lowered her head in embarrassment.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. " Little Deer and I are both professional teams. Little Deer's excellence means I'm excellent too."
Slacking on the Sidelines, waving his eyes wide, thought, "That smug attitude is definitely befitting Beast Tamer."
Qin Ze greeted Wang Biao: " Brother Biao, how have you been lately?"
Ironhead Abiao nodded. "The same as always."
His mind involuntarily drifted back to the first time he met Qin Ze.
At that time, he was trapped in a sack and thought the Circus guys were good and capable of great things.
Back then, Qin Ze was just Junior Martial Artist, but now he's someone Qin Ze has to look up to.
Qin Ze then said to the Scholar, " Scholar, could you compose a poem for me, given my current appearance?"
The Scholar smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid that won't work; my poems are all critical."
Smiles appeared on the Hunter ' faces, dispelling the previous heavy atmosphere.
The Taoist looked at the Miss Sword Case behind Qin Ze: "It seems you've had quite a few fortuitous encounters these past three years."
Qin Ze placed Miss Sword Case in front of him. "Let me introduce my good friend, Miss Sword Case."
"They are all my comrades who fought alongside me. Say hello, Miss Sword Case Box."
Seeing so many people, Sword Case, Socially Anxious, was so nervous that she kept trembling and wished she could disappear into the snow.
My best friend didn't tell her about this part.
Hello everyone.
After speaking timidly, Miss Sword Case quickly hid behind Qin Ze.
Qin Ze shook his head. "The child is shy, please understand."
Everyone looked surprised.
What did they see? Sword Case that could speak human language?!
The Little Deer standing next to Qin Ze curiously reached out to touch him, but Miss Sword Case twisted her body and dodged him.
" Qin Ze, this girl is so rude."
Realizing her rudeness, the Little Deer quickly apologized, "I'm sorry!"
Upon hearing this, Miss Sword Case muttered, "If I were to nitpick like this, I'd seem petty and narrow-minded."
After thinking for a moment, Miss Sword Case moved closer and gestured for the Little Deer to be touched.
"You can only touch it once."
The Little Deer's eyes lit up, and it gently reached out to touch it. The texture seemed no different from an ordinary Sword Case.
"Thank you, Miss Sword Case."
You're welcome.
Watching the two adorable little ones interact, Qin Ze found it all very amusing.
The Fairy said, "Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and open the Breakthrough Otherworld."
The Taoist said, " The Little Deer is only Level Seven now, and the Breakthrough Otherworld can only be activated once..."
The Fairy said calmly, " Little Deer's abilities destined her to break through all obstacles without any hindrance; Breakthrough Otherworld is merely icing on the cake."
Lu Tongtong nodded. "I can use my Deduction abilities to avoid many factors that are unfavorable to me during cultivation."
The Dharma King couldn't help but sigh on the Local Area Network: "So who exactly is the main character?"
Qin Ze asked, "What about Brother Yuanzi?"
The Fairy replied, "He told us to ignore him."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's begin. Once I break through to Level Nine, I'll be able to open the Hall of Stars."
Upon learning this news, the hunters couldn't wait any longer.
He rubbed his Slacking on the Sidelines and said, "What are you waiting for? Start it!"
The Fairy glanced at him. "Did I say I was going to take you with me?"
Slacking on the Sidelines chuckled and said, "I said in the group chat before that Fairy is a person with a conscience, definitely not the kind of ungrateful, backstabbing villain."
"I don't know which bastard is spewing filth, if I ever run into him in real life, I'll make sure he gets what's coming to me!"
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
Brother Shui is truly flexible and resilient; he is a true gentleman.
The Fairy counted the number of people present. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Why is one missing?"
Passerby A raised his right hand and said helplessly, "I'm here."
He came along the Slacking on the Sidelines, and no one noticed him the whole time.
The Fairy frowned. "Next time, fart beforehand, or people will think you're mute."
Passerby A shrugged. He had said a few words earlier, but no one had heard him.
The Taoist smiled and said, "Brother Lu's abilities are truly growing stronger; I only just noticed your presence."
Passerby A sighed silently; this ability was better left unused.
The Fairy commander said, " Qin Ze, stand in the middle. Everyone, activate the key and silently Breakthrough Otherworld.'"
The group surrounded Qin Ze in the center and then activated the key.
A phantom image of a large tree materialized behind Qin Ze; it was an enlarged version of the key on his chest.
A moment later, the four leaves on the left and right sides were lit up one by one, and a dazzling stream of seven colors tore through the thick clouds and scattered across the Ring Mountains peak.
Qin Ze turned around and said, " The Breakthrough Otherworld has begun."
The Hunter lined up in a row, and the shimmering sunset gradually engulfed them.
Moments later, the dazzling sunset disappeared, and the Hunter were nowhere to be seen on the snow.
Everyone entered the Breakthrough Otherworld; the trial began.
