The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: White Tiger Snatches Food

The female reporter sat across from Lin Yi.

She wasn’t old, just in her early thirties.

She wore silver-rimmed glasses, was dressed professionally, and had a press pass hanging from her neck.

It identified her as a reporter.

She subconsciously pushed up her glasses and nodded slightly.

She looked at the cameraman behind her.

”Are you ready?”

”Yep, all set!”

The cameraman glanced at Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye.

”Lin Yi, no need to be nervous. I’ll just ask a few simple questions.”

Lin Yi smiled. ”Go ahead!”

”In this Martial Arts Examination, you took first place in the entire district and became the Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar. Do you have anything you’d like to say about that?”

Facing the reporter’s question, Lin Yi wore a relaxed smile.

”Talent, opportunity, and hard work. You can’t succeed without all three.”

The reporter asked, ”So, what do you consider talent? And how would you describe it?”

Lin Yi replied, ”Many people have different understandings of talent. In reality, the scope of talent isn’t necessarily limited to Martial Arts.”

”Let me give you an example. So-called talent is your passion.

Someone might be born with a love for soccer and can play very well without anyone teaching them!

Someone might be born with a love for cooking, and their food is always delicious. It’s like a news story I saw before, about a five or six-year-old child who could assemble a machine on their own!

There are also kids who can invent things by themselves!

And there are people who don’t seem to study much but always manage to get first place in exams!

I suppose that’s what talent is...”

The reporter said, ”Alright. It’s true that everyone has a different view on talent. Now, let’s talk about...”

Lin Yi answered every one of the reporter’s questions fluently, sharing some of his own cultivation experiences.

However, his cultivation experiences weren’t applicable to just anyone.

They didn’t have the combat experience that came from Demon Hunting.

They didn’t have the ability to see other people’s talent entries, nor did they have a Cultivation Technique like the Star River Qi Transformation Technique.

All of these encompassed the talent, opportunity, and hard work Lin Yi had mentioned.

’In fact, from my perspective, talent is more like a cheat code.’

’Just like me. My talent is the ability to see others’ entries and plunder them.’

’You could also call it a Golden Finger.’

’But in this world, there are quite a few people who possess special talents.’

’And how are their talents not a form of cheat code as well?’

’Some people have extremely high comprehension, some can get twice the results with half the effort in their cultivation, and some possess special physiques.’

’In my eyes, all of these are cheat-like talents.’

’It’s just that some people are good at using their talents and redouble their efforts.’

’When an opportunity presents itself, they seize it and soar to the heavens.’

’But others just waste their talents.’

’Even when an opportunity is right in front of them, they often turn a blind eye.’

Just as he was talking with the reporter, a warning suddenly flashed through his mind.

A mental attack attempted to strike Lin Yi.

His brow furrowed, and his gaze subconsciously fell on the cameraman.

After his Heart Spirit Domain blocked the attack, the corners of Lin Yi’s mouth curved up slightly. ’Can’t wait any longer, can you?’

The reporter said, ”I’m very happy to have had the chance to interview you today. I believe your valuable experience will be quite helpful to the underclassmen!”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. ”It’s nothing, just some of my personal insights. I hope you’ll forgive me if I’ve said anything wrong.”

”You’re too modest,” the reporter said. ”As the district’s Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar, your every word will be treated as gospel. Let’s conclude the interview here for today. Thank you for your cooperation!”

After the reporter finished speaking, she and her assistant stood up.

Then she turned her head to look at the cameraman.

”Master Huang, we can go now!”

”Okay!”

The cameraman nodded, turned off his equipment, and started packing it up.

But a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he kept glancing at Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye.

It seemed the failure of his recent mental attacks had made him increasingly displeased.

Lin Yi, however, simply sat there with a gentle smile.

Suddenly, Xiaoqi’s thoughts were transmitted to him.

’Hungry... Xiaoqi is hungry...’

Lin Yi smiled. ’Don’t worry, the main course will be here soon!’

The next moment, Lin Yi launched a mental attack on the demon.

In an instant, the scene before him changed.

The cameraman, who had been packing up his equipment, suddenly found himself in the vast expanse of the cosmos.

He looked around, his face filled with terror.

”Th-This is?”

”The Heart Spirit Domain!”

Suddenly, a voice that seemed to come from beyond the heavens echoed.

Then, he saw a teenager in a school uniform walking toward him with a gentle smile.

He recognized this person. It was Lin Yi, the one he had just been interviewing.

Above Lin Yi’s head, a clear bird cry rang out.

A dazzling, seven-colored divine bird soared through the cosmos.

And at Lin Yi’s side, a white tiger walked with him.

”Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

”Even if you are the district’s Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar, you couldn’t possibly establish a Heart Spirit Domain...”

”Who are you? How did you discover me?”

The demon’s heart filled with growing terror.

Once a mind was pulled into a domain, there was basically nothing to do but wait for death.

Inside a Heart Spirit Domain, the one who established it was like a god.

With just a thought, they could easily erase you.

Therefore, it was well aware of what its fate would be.

Lin Yi looked at it and couldn’t help but laugh. ”You launched mental attacks on me repeatedly during the interview, and now you’re asking me such a stupid question?”

As he spoke, the terror in the demon’s eyes intensified.

As Lin Yi and the white tiger drew closer and closer, the divine bird overhead released an endless pressure.

At this moment, its body felt as if it had completely lost control, as if it were being crushed beneath a great mountain.

”Pl-Please... don’t kill me. G-Give me a chance. I promise I’ll never come to Xinghai City again, I promise...”

The only thing the demon could still move was its mouth.

However, Lin Yi paid it no mind and looked up at the soaring Xiaoqi.

”Weren’t you hungry? Can its mind sate your hunger?”

Another sharp cry rang out, as if it were Xiaoqi’s response to Lin Yi.

The next moment, it dove straight toward the demon.

Just as Lin Yi was preparing to enjoy the show, the white tiger beside him saw its chance and also pounced on the demon.

”AHHH...”

A blood-curdling scream.

Xiaoqi and the white tiger reached it at almost the same time.

In the blink of an eye, they tore the demon’s mind to shreds.

The bird and the tiger devoured it completely.

After finishing its meal, the white tiger seemed unsatiated and actually fixed its gaze on Xiaoqi in mid-air.

It leaped into the air, jumping two or three meters high.

Its claws swiped straight for Xiaoqi.

’The fuck?’

Lin Yi, who had been watching the show, hadn’t expected this to happen.

Just as he was about to intervene, Xiaoqi let out a cry.

It traced an arc through the air, flipping behind the white tiger in an indescribable maneuver.

The white tiger, still in mid-air, swiped at nothing.

Seeming to sense that things were not going well, it tilted its head slightly to look back.

Xiaoqi flew directly toward it at extreme speed.

WHAP—

Xiaoqi’s massive wing slapped hard against the white tiger’s body.

Unsurprisingly, the white tiger was knocked out of the air.

The moment it landed, the white tiger immediately leaped up again.

Then, it once again chased after Xiaoqi.

But Xiaoqi seemed to be intentionally teasing the white tiger, maintaining its altitude and speed so the white tiger could neither catch up nor reach it...

Lin Yi just smiled and paid them no more mind.

He seemed to have grown accustomed to their roughhousing.

Then he left the Heart Spirit Domain and returned to reality.

In that instant, the cameraman who was walking out suddenly went vacant, his body freezing in place.

The next second, after swaying a few times,

THUD—

with a loud noise, his entire body fell stiffly to the ground.

The reporter and her assistant, who were walking ahead, were startled and quickly turned around to look.

As they saw the cameraman lying prone on the ground and were about to go check on him, suddenly, the demon’s true form was revealed.

It was a yellow weasel.

”AH...”

A piercing scream echoed through the school hallway.

It seemed neither of them had ever imagined that the colleague who had come with them for the interview would turn out to be a demon.

Soon, the school’s Principal Qu and the others all came running.

When they saw the demon, Principal Qu’s expression darkened. ”Who let a demon in here? Quick, kill it...”

Someone immediately ran forward.

After they finished their inspection, they turned back and said, ”Principal, this yellow weasel is already dead!”
