♂?，，

  According to some slight movements, Wang Ting quickly passed through the forest in front of him and came to an ancient tree about forty or fifty meters away.

  This ancient tree, with a diameter of more than three meters, also lost its vitality for various reasons and presents a huge hollow inside.

  At this moment, in the tree hole, a young man with his hands and feet tied up was struggling violently, making "hmm" sounds from his blocked mouth. Especially after seeing Wang Ting arrive, he struggled even more fiercely, as if afraid of being ignored by others.

  "Hmm."

  A flash of sword light, and the iron cord on the young man's body has been cut off.

  Then Wang Ting's gaze fell on a simple camp hidden in the dense forest not far from the ancient tree.

  No need to guess, the owner of this small camp must be those people from before.

  "Uh-huh."

  Upon arriving at the camp, Wang Ting lifted open the small tent and soon discovered a large amount of supplies inside. Among these supplies were helmets, precious swords, materials, minerals, gold coins, and even six Star Crystals. The six Star Crystals were almost equivalent to one-fifth of what Wang Ting had recently obtained from Chang Le.

  "Benefactor! Benefactor!"

  As he gazed at the star crystals, treasured swords, and armor, as well as the hundreds of gold coins scattered around, a voice quickly came from behind him. Immediately after, the young man who was previously bound ran over with big strides, his eyes filled with gratitude and surprise.

  "Brother, you're really my lifesaver! If you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid they would have killed me to silence me within another ten or so minutes. Brother, I owe you my life! Thanks a lot!"

  Wang Ting looked at the young man with a lingering fear in his heart, only to discover that he was merely in his teens or early twenties, even younger than Gong Sun Mu. However, judging from some of his physical reactions, it seemed that this young man had actually reached the level of a high-ranking swordsman in terms of physical prowess.

  Under the age of twenty, he has already cultivated into a high-ranking swordsman. This talent is far superior to that of Xi Ruojian, Bei Wuyan, and Gong Sunzao. Moreover, from the spatial ring on his hand, it's not hard to see that his identity absolutely won't be simple.

  No wonder those high-ranking swordsmen said "another big fish" not long ago, the previous big fish was referring to this young man in front of them.

  After a glance, Wang Ting didn't waste any more time on him and put away the precious swords, armor, medicinal herbs, ores, and gold coins one by one into his spatial ring.

  "Huh?"

  Just as he was about to finish collecting, Wang Ting's gaze quickly fell on a golden paper in the corner.

  This thing...

  "Brother, this is a Soul Contract! A great thing, it's really valuable. The Soul Contract is just as precious as the Beast Ring, but unlike the Beast Ring which can be used to enslave beasts by force, the Soul Contract requires mutual consent and recognition from both parties. However, once signed, it's absolutely foolproof under the witness of the God Sword Emperor. I didn't expect these people to have such a treasure. Nine out of ten, they're probably trying to capture some rare creatures in this region to sell at a high price."

  A young man beside him hastily explained to Wang Ting, with a hint of envy in his tone.

  Wang Ting nodded and put away the soul contract.

  "Brother, I suggest we go catch a spirit. This creature is the most sought-after pet among all the nobles in the kingdom. Even some marquis and dukes may not have one. The price of a single spirit servant can exceed 300,000 gold coins. If it's particularly beautiful or has strong abilities, the price will be even higher. In the past, a sword master from the Great Xia Kingdom caught a senior spirit and sold it for as high as 8 million gold coins!"

  "It's okay to go now."

  Wang Ting furrowed his brow and said a word.

  "Brother, you are my lifesaver, yet I still don't even know your name. How can Tang Zheng be so ungrateful and unfilial? I am after all..."

  The young man had not finished speaking, and Wang Ting had already turned around and gone straight into the woods.

  "Brother..."

  Tang Zheng seemed to be a naturally sociable person, and he didn't mind Wang Ting's cold attitude at all. He quickly followed up with enthusiasm that was hard to conceal.

  "These three high-ranking swordsmen are all extremely formidable fighters among the high-ranking swordsmen, especially that middle-aged man. He is a notorious villain in the surrounding Wanguo Kingdom, the second master of the Red Blood Thief. Although he is only a high-ranking swordsman, he has been through countless battles and becomes even more frenzied and terrifying when fighting for his life. It's said that two great swordsmen have died at his hands. Brother was able to kill such a formidable villain, truly a model for our peers! If we take his head to the Wanguo Kingdom, we can collect a reward of 300 gold coins."

  After seeing the corpses of three high-ranking swordsmen, including a middle-aged man, Tang Zheng's attitude towards Wang Ting suddenly became more enthusiastic, and his tone was filled with a hint of reverence.

  Reverence for the strong.

  Wang Ting didn't respond and acted as if this person didn't exist, continuing to walk forward.

  At this time, he had already generated a different idea in his heart. As the task completion time approached, many high-ranking swordsmen and great swordsmen would choose to take risks and intercept other teams, trying to obtain star crystals from them to complete the task. The next period of time is expected to become very chaotic.

  Since others can plunder Star Crystal through this method, why shouldn't Wang Ting do so?

  At the very least, as long as it's not against top-notch great swordsmen like Chang Le, Hai Ming, Huo Wan, or Lü Shuang, even if they have a team of great swordsmen, he might still be able to take them down.

  "Whoosh!"

  When Wang Ting made up his mind, in the sky above, a huge creature similar to an eagle spread its wings and flew quickly towards the end of the sky. Faintly visible on the body of that huge creature was what seemed to be a human figure sitting cross-legged.

  "Dragon Eagle, my dear, someone has actually tamed a Dragon Eagle? A Dragon Eagle is a high-level ferocious beast that even great swordsmen have difficulty countering. Especially since it's a sky-dwelling creature that dominates the skies, this kind of being is extremely troublesome. Only elves who have cultivated feelings with certain Dragon Eagles from a young age can slowly gain their recognition. And now, someone has actually subdued one?"

  Tang Zheng's knowledge was vast, and from the physique of that ferocious beast alone, he had already judged its origin.

  "This direction...... It seems like Lie Dongyang is in trouble next."

  "Huh?"

  Intense sunshine.

  This name Wang Tingyin seems to have been heard somewhere.

  "What's going on in Dongyang?"

  "It's that Li Dongyang guy." As soon as he mentioned him, Tang Zheng seemed to have a hint of disdain: "He thinks he has some skills, but he's just a know-it-all, looking down on everyone else, not putting anyone in his eyes. What's the big deal? He was born three years earlier than me, and who knows, maybe I'll reach his level in three years too."

  When Tang Zheng said this, Wang Ting finally remembered.

  "Tai Xuan's number one swordsman, Lie Dongyang?"

  "Isn't that right, now isn't he relying on his reputation as the number one swordsman to challenge all the strong people in this region? Just at the foot of that big mountain not far away, this kid, I don't know what good luck he had, actually single-handedly destroyed an entire spirit tribe and obtained 53 star crystals. Four days ago, he started making a big show, wanting to challenge all the strong people in this area, and even boasted that anyone who could withstand ten swords without being defeated would get one star crystal, twenty swords would be two, and so on... That super strong person who tamed the dragon eagle just now is probably 80% here to teach him a lesson because he can't stand his arrogant attitude."

  Although Tang Zheng's tone was disdainful, it wasn't hard to hear that in fact this was a mentality of sour grapes.

  "One sword, one star crystal..."

  Wang Ting muttered to himself, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
