Originally, Hai Ming was flirting with Liao Moran, but after seeing Wei Ba, who was even prettier and also a refugee, he immediately changed his target, and his enthusiasm for Liao Moran cooled down.

Liao Moran was incredibly perceptive and noticed it immediately. She had never been treated like this before, and she instantly turned into a sourpuss, acting jealously no matter what she did.

Who could stand being around a sourpuss?

But she was the granddaughter of Grandmaster Liao, so everyone turned a blind eye. However, some people tried to take advantage of the situation to curry favor with Liao Moran, but they were treated as punching bags and were verbally abused to the point of being unrecognizable. Some even returned to their villages on the spot, and it was unknown if they died on the way.

With such examples, no one dared to provoke Liao Moran anymore. Whenever the sourpuss opened her mouth, everyone remained silent and offered no opinions.

In reality, Grandmaster Liao was also depressed.

One was his favorite granddaughter, one was the most talented apprentice he had ever encountered, and the other… had an even bigger background. She was recommended by the Extreme Ice Sect! Damn it! Unless he didn't want to live, he wouldn't dare to offend her!

Both were precious, so Grandmaster Liao could only turn a blind eye.

At this moment, Hai Ming wanted to compete with the male [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] for the right to mate with the female [Giant-Headed Bloodhound]. The reason was that he had boasted to Wei Ba that he would catch a [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] and give it to her as a pet.

A pet with a strength equivalent to a Black-level early-stage ghoul was undeniably impressive, both in terms of prestige and practicality.

Every hunter has their own unique way of capturing ghouls.

Grandmaster Liao taught Hai Ming everything he knew, wholeheartedly, and naturally wouldn't forget to pass on his unique skills for hunting [Giant-Headed Bloodhounds].

Therefore, Hai Ming was very confident in himself.

The Hunting Grandmaster's dedicated guidance, coupled with his own unique talent of the Hunting Heart, not only increased the favorability of ghouls towards him, but also allowed him to be treated as one of their own to a certain extent, making the capture absolutely certain.

In addition, although it was said to be a competition with the male ghoul for mating rights, it was not just a simple comparison of personal strength.

Grandmaster Liao had secretly given him some winning treasures, otherwise, he wouldn't have boasted in front of Wei Ba today.

Steadying his breath, Hai Ming provoked the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] in front of him again.

"Roar!!"

The Giant-Headed Bloodhound shook its head and roared, charging towards Hai Ming.

The massive size and huge head made Hai Ming subconsciously take a step back.

But he quickly realized that Wei Ba was still looking at him, so he gritted his teeth and immediately inserted two things that looked like thin iron rods into the ground.

Then, he put on the iron-colored gloves he had brought with him and faced the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound].

"Haa!"

With a loud roar, Hai Ming used the power of the gloves to barely withstand the impact of the Giant-Headed Bloodhound.

"Impossible?!"

The people hiding in the bushes couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts when they saw this scene.

Liao Moran's eyes seemed to sparkle with light, a very complex emotion.

First, a hint of pride flashed across her face.

What does this woman have that makes her more attractive than me!

Liao Moran was indignant, but at this moment, the situation changed drastically.

Hai Ming, who had just withstood the attack, was completely knocked away by the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound], rolling several times before stopping in a disheveled state.

"Hai Ming!"

Liao Moran couldn't help but exclaim.

Fortunately, in the midst of the [Giant-Headed Bloodhounds]' roaring, her voice was nothing.

Hai Ming, who barely managed to get up, had his iron gloves damaged, revealing his red and swollen hands, which were trembling violently.

Hai Ming had not even learned the basics of martial arts for a few days. He relied entirely on Grandmaster Liao's cultivation to have a little attribute amplification, which was incomparable to regular martial artists like the guard team.

He was barely able to withstand one or two attacks from the Giant-Headed Bloodhound with the iron gloves, but now that the iron gloves were broken, he had almost no power to fight back against the Giant-Headed Bloodhound with the strength of a Black-level early-stage ghoul.

Fortunately, this was a duel for courtship, and according to the ritual, it needed to be stopped before death.

Not to mention… Hai Ming's trap had not been triggered yet!

Dodging the pouncing Giant-Headed Bloodhound, Hai Ming quickly returned to the two iron pillars he had inserted earlier.

"Roar!!"

He let out a provocative roar that only the Giant-Headed Bloodhound could hear.

The Giant-Headed Bloodhound immediately charged over.

"Now!"

Hai Ming roared, and as the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] was about to pounce on him, the two thin iron pillars seemed to have accumulated strength and shot up directly from the ground, piercing into the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound]'s soft belly.

Tear!

Blood splattered out, and the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] howled a few times before falling to the ground.

"Success!"

Having defeated the competitor, the mate belonged to the challenger. With his talent, this female [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] was directly subdued by him!

Hai Ming excitedly looked in the direction of Wei Ba.

However… the only ones cheering with him were Liao Moran and his fellow apprentices.

Wei Ba wasn't even watching what he was doing, just staring blankly at the sky.

At this moment, Hai Ming felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

Just then, Hai Ming noticed that Liao Moran and the others' expressions suddenly became horrified, and they were all shouting at him.

What?

Hai Ming turned his head sluggishly and his expression changed.

A huge black shadow covered his entire body. It was the [Giant Beast Bloodhound] that had just been defeated by the trap and was now flying towards him with injuries, enraged by the smell of blood!

Beasts are beasts after all!

Even the rules established during courtship, which were engraved in their genes, would be stimulated by the smell of blood and turn into a deathmatch!

Faced with such a situation, Hai Ming didn't even have time to feel fear before his mind went blank and he was knocked to the ground by the black shadow! "Roar!!"

A gaping maw opened, and a foul stench assaulted his nostrils!

The huge mouth and sharp teeth seemed like they were about to swallow him whole and chew him to pieces in the next second!

"No… no! We, we are in a courtship duel, you can't, you can't kill me! It's against the rules!"

Hai Ming shouted in horror, even forgetting to use the language that only the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] could understand, and instead shouted in human language.

However, the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] ignored him and was about to bite down directly.

Hai Ming closed his eyes in despair and fear.

But the next moment, he didn't feel pain, but… heat!!
