Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Besides cultivation and combat, what other things could he do to nurture Tan Yue?

Without hesitation, Zhang Chaoqiang decided to give Tan Yue special training based on her combat experience and abilities.

Continuing to delve deeper, after observing and clearly perceiving the location of the burrowing scales beneath the ground, those familiar cave entrances became exceptionally clear under Zhang Chaoqiang's piercing gaze.

Gently digging it open, Zhang Chaoqiang expended his attention and control, simultaneously using Wind Fist, Diffusion, and Blazing Eyes.

Tan Yue believes that he is a giant blower.

The wind punches unleashed at the cave entrance, amplified and amplified, created gusts of wind combined with the intense heat from the scorching sun…

The burrowing scales hidden beneath the surface were instantly forced out of the quicksand caves.

Right now, Zhang Chaoqiang called out to Tan Yue, who knew he was honing his control over the spirit blade and his combat skills.

She wielded her spirit blade to attack the burrowing scales that scattered in all directions and occasionally ambushed her, but the effect was very limited. In the end, the burrowing scales were small, cunning, and fast, making Tan Yue's attack accuracy too low.

Zhang Chaoqiang applied the diffusion effect to Tan Yue's spirit blade, attempting to enlarge its shape and length, but it had no effect whatsoever.

After much research, Zhang Chaoqiang finally discovered that expending a huge amount of mental energy and control could amplify Tan Yue's spiritual blade energy.

In other words, when Tan Yue uses the spirit blade, the range of the spiritual energy fluctuations she releases is wider and larger, although the destructive power has not increased.

However, against small monsters like the Earth-Dwelling Scale, it can increase Tan Yue's hit rate.

This is equivalent to adding a support effect to Tan Yue.

The longer this effect lasts, the more mentally exhausted Zhang Chaoqiang becomes; the longer he uses it, the more tired he becomes.

"The attack range of the Spirit Blade has increased?" Tan Yue exclaimed in surprise. "Zhang Chaoqiang, are you helping me?"

After agreeing to the terms, Zhang Chaoqiang urged Tan Yue to make the most of this time to hone her skills, as it was a rare opportunity and he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Since expanding her attack range, Tan Yue's mental level was already quite high. Combined with the spiritual power of her spirit blade, she could easily defeat those weak, burrowing scales, much like a fruit ninja.

Some powerful adult figures will probably require some effort.

During practice, Tan Yue grasped the key points of aiming, and then moved inwards, gradually increasing her targets from the burrowing scales to groups of cheetahs and deformed apes.

In an instant, most of the demonic beasts in the inner circle of the secret realm sensed the presence of the two and fled in panic. They were controlled one by one by Zhang Chaoqiang and supplied to Tan Yue for trials.

Meanwhile, Jin Jia and Lin Ru had already realized that something was wrong.

When the students reported that they couldn't find any trace of the living monsters, and upon further investigation, they only found numerous corpses, Jin Jia already had a general understanding of the matter.

As he made his way into the inner circle, the golden-armored man muttered to himself:

"Didn't we say Zhang Chaoqiang wasn't going to participate in this trial? How come he still caused so much trouble? He killed almost half of the monsters in the secret realm. What are the other students supposed to do in the trial?"

This is clearly an act of revenge against society, and a heinous act that destroys the ecological environment.

Jin Jia believed that Zhang Chaoqiang's actions must be stopped as soon as possible.

When he and Lin Ru, two fourth-tier martial artists, arrived at the inner circle of the desolate valley, a scene that left them somewhat dumbfounded appeared before their eyes.

It wasn't Zhang Chaoqiang who was in the midst of the killing, but Tan Yue.

At this moment, Tan Yue's original ponytail had come undone due to the rope slipping during the battle, and her black hair moved and fluttered with her movements.

He killed the little monster with a single slash, leaving the golden-armored warrior in awe.

Ignoring Zhang Chaoqiang, who was sitting quietly not far away recovering from his fatigue, their attention was drawn to Tan Yue, who had been blessed by Zhang Chaoqiang.

When did the range of this spirit blade become so large? With such control over it, Jin Jia couldn't help but wonder if those monster corpses from earlier were all created by Tan Yue along the way.

Recalling the other party's mysterious background, he couldn't figure it out either.

If it were Tan Yue, then there would be no need for the golden armor to stop her, since she was participating in the trial normally.

Unlike Zhang Chaoqiang, who was banned for cheating, he wasn't banned.

Jin Jia sat next to Zhang Chaoqiang, feeling that something was off about the other man, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Soon, the appointed time to meet arrived, and Zhang Chaoqiang secretly glanced at Jin Jia.

Before he could ask a question, the golden-armored man's hands were stuffed with a huge pile of crystal cores. Just the tactile sensation alone was enough to make him feel like he had two or three hundred crystal cores.

"Teacher, although crystal cores don't count towards the score, they can still be exchanged for coins. Thank you for your help."

After leaving those words, the two returned home. They counted exactly three hundred crystal cores in their hands, and Jin Jia's lips twitched.

It turns out that Zhang Chaoqiang really did kill all those monsters along the way, but is he really that short of money...?

If he just says a word, the school will make arrangements…

Then a headache occurred: only about a hundred demonic beasts remained in the inner circle, making it a case of too many monks and too few beasts…

Chapter 99: I told you to get out of the way, what did you do?

Jin Jia was in a real bind.

Lin Ru was also very troubled.

The administrators of the Extraordinary Management Bureau are even more troubled by this.

The regulations governing secret realms and the regulations governing the breeding safety of monsters were adopted by the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.

Each secret realm is an independent ecological environment, equivalent to a spatial rift, free from interference from external species. Of course, humans cannot be considered an external species.

Based on the size of the secret realm, the Extraordinary Administration Bureau, in cooperation with the central government, devised a formula related to the number of monsters suitable for survival in the secret realm and their reproduction speed.

Applying the formula, it was determined that this desolate valley secret realm covers a total area of ​​fifty kilometers, containing three types of demonic beasts, totaling seven or eight hundred beasts, of which juveniles account for forty percent…

In short, the golden-armored creature asked the administrators how many monsters would die in this secret realm before the ecosystem would collapse.

After careful analysis, the administrators replied, "We need to determine whether it died of natural causes, fought amongst themselves, or was killed by our students. Furthermore, we need to consider the different types of monsters, and the various stages of their development..."

"Alright, just give me a general figure!"

I don't quite understand why the usually calm Jin Jia is in such a hurry.

The administrator quickly replied this time: "In the Desolate Valley Secret Realm, regardless of species or stage, the death of approximately 75% of the monsters will cause ecological collapse, leading to the decline of the monsters here. However, Teacher Jin, why are you asking this question..."

"Oh no! Teacher Jin, you two must immediately halt the trial! All administrators, listen up! Follow me immediately to take stock of the situation in the secret realm! Li Hu, Liu Ergou, you four must find Zhang Chaoqiang immediately!"

Without Jin Jia explaining, almost everyone knows what happened inside.

The trials were immediately halted. The main purpose of some ordinary secret realms is to provide students with opportunities to practice and test their skills. This requires long-term recycling. A massive ecological collapse would cause problems with the reproduction of monsters within, leading to a permanent decline.

In this case, the only option is to introduce foreign monsters of the same species. However, this would be a waste of manpower and resources, and the environment would be different.

Maintaining a stable ecosystem like this requires a very high cost.

With more than ten level-three administrators, plus two teachers, Jin Jialin and Lin Ru, they've got a real headache.

They called a halt to the trial, and the students from both classes were still confused, only able to see a few people heading towards the inner circle of the secret realm.

As they hurried along, the administrator, sweat beading on his forehead, glanced sideways at Jin Jia and asked, "Teacher Jin, didn't you tell Zhang Chaoqiang not to kill too many monsters? How did he manage to do that?"

Jin Jia pursed his lips and frowned: "What did I instruct them to do? The secret realm was originally intended for their training. Are you suggesting we limit the number of kills? Besides, our resources should be allocated as much as possible to Zhang Chaoqiang."

Besides, this wasn't entirely Zhang Chaoqiang's doing alone.

Jin Jia was initially puzzled by Tan Yue's skipping a grade, since she had already explored the spiritual level in junior high school. However, recalling her ability to use the spirit blade beyond her capabilities, he exclaimed that these two little ones were quite extraordinary...

"Next time you open a secret realm, please carefully explain the relevant secret realm ecological regulations to the students, okay? To prevent this from happening again..."

To be honest, this is the first time something like this has ever happened, and the Extraordinary Management Bureau was caught off guard.

Jin Jia still didn't understand whether Zhang Chaoqiang was killing these monsters purely for money or to hone his skills.

He finally spotted Zhang Chaoqiang strolling leisurely with Tan Yue on the path from the inner circle to the outer circle. It wasn't because they were enjoying the scenery and wanted to savor it slowly, but because Zhang Chaoqiang had been using his diffusion technique to a great extent and was somewhat tired.

He stared at Tan Yue's jade-like neck and the back of her clothes, which were filled with a faint lavender scent.

Thinking about it, if only it were Zhu Bobi, he could carry me back...

Jin Jialin and two other administrators accompanied the two of them back towards the outer perimeter and the entrance to the secret realm.

On the way, Jin Jia confirmed that Zhang Chaoqiang killed the monster to obtain crystal cores, which he then used to exchange for money.

He asked that damned question: "If you need anything, you should tell the school anytime. There's no need to go to such lengths to make the secret realm so desolate... The school will be responsible for your studies and cultivation, providing all reasonable resources..."

Zhang Chaoqiang was speechless. First, he simply couldn't bring himself to ask others for anything. Second, killing the monsters wasn't as arduous as his teacher had imagined; he was just a little tired from using too much diffusion and blinding light.

Back at the port, a number of students had already gathered. The dungeon had been abruptly halted without warning, and the administrators were searching and exploring, not checking on the students.

Instead, it was to take stock of the number of monsters that had died.

To Zhang Chaoqiang's surprise, Zhu Bobi, the so-called know-it-all, actually knew information that only his teacher knew.

Somehow he knew that it was Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue who had caused the entire secret realm to be on the verge of ecological imbalance and collapse, and he secretly gave Zhang Chaoqiang a thumbs up.

Zhang Chaoqiang frowned deeply, immediately ruling out Jin Jia, who was known for his tight-lipped nature.

The monster's sense of smell revealed some damned things he shouldn't have known. Just now, Zhu Bopi seemed to be very close to Lin Ru, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, whispering something to each other.

He already knew that Lin Ru, in the prime of her life, had countless suitors, but according to rumors, she was most fond of handsome young men…

Although Zhu Bobi was not as good-looking as him, he was still quite handsome and fair-skinned, like a little chubby pig. He was quite popular with the female classmates.

Conversely, customers who are much more handsome than him fail to win the slightest favor from girls because of some minor quirks.

bang.

Achieving a [Suspicious Relationship]: Monster's Sense of Smell +5

[Smell Sense of Monsters]: 56/100

"..."

He didn't know what to say, but luckily Tan Yue changed the subject: "I'll give you all the crystal cores I just collected! But Zhang Chaoqiang, why did you collect so many crystal cores? You could have just asked the school if you needed any!"

Zhu Bobi held up one finger: "I think you should just leave it alone. Qiang-ge definitely has his own reasons. But Tan Yue's gesture was sincere, so Zhang Chaoqiang, you should just accept it..."

Combined with the clues he had previously discovered, Zhang Chaoqiang was able to understand his thoughts.

The monsters killed by the two made up the majority of the losses. If those were reduced, the students in Class 2 wouldn't have lost so miserably, and the homeroom teacher would have saved face to some extent.

Seeing Tan Yue's sincere gaze, Zhang Chaoqiang glanced at the somewhat extraordinary Zhu Bobi and finally accepted him.

Finally, the school and the Extraordinary Management Bureau announced that the trial in the secret realm had come to an end, without elaborating further, and opened the portal to allow the students to return to campus.

The administrators broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they managed to take inventory and found that of the original 800+ monsters, only about 230 remained.

In other words, only 73 percent of the monsters in the entire secret realm died, including more than 400 of them, which were caused by Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue... Fortunately, it did not collapse, but it was close.
