Chapter 379: Targeted?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The entire test went very smoothly, and Loopy Toad managed to walk out of the test room at around two in the afternoon. Images of its test hadn’t been directly made public, because after the ruckus Wei Zhi had caused, there had been too many eyes on it. Thus, Loopy Toad had decided to keep a low profile, and it left right after the test; this grade assessment originally wasn’t anything meaningful to both Loopy Toad and Wang Ling, and they were in fact just going through the motions.
Whatever its measure was, Loopy Toad was very clear about its own value; whatever figure it got would be enough.
Once the qualification assessment test was done, the qualification certificate would be mailed to the house within three working days, so all Loopy Toad could do now was wait.
Thinking about this, Loopy Toad walked out of the doors of the assessment center, and then was stunned when it realized that Wei Zhi was leaning against a stone pillar waiting for it.
It hadn’t seen Wei Zhi when it had come out of the test hall earlier, so it thought he had already gone. It had never expected that Wei Zhi would be waiting for it here.
“Yo, Brother Dog! What a coincidence! I only just got out after the test, I never thought we would meet again!” Wei Zhi waved and flashed his white teeth at Loopy Toad.
Loopy Toad: “…” It had truly never met such a shameless person before.
Loopy Toad didn’t actually dislike Wei Zhi, and in fact felt that this friendly boy was a little interesting.
And most importantly, it realized that Wei Zhi was very familiar with the entire spirit beast system of Huaxiu nation. It could be said that he was very knowledgeable, and this was something that Loopy Toad wanted to know.
Maybe they could be friends?
Loopy Toad pondered this in its heart.
“How was the test? What class?” As he spoke, Wei Zhi grabbed the rim of his red peaked cap and twisted it around on his head out of habit. This was probably his signature move; Loopy Toad had seen him do it quite a few times inside the assessment center.

“Fourth class.”
Loopy Toad thought it had nothing to hide when it came to its test results.
Anyway, it had actually held back: its real grade should be peak third class.
To Loopy Toad’s surprise, Wei Zhi seemed to have anticipated this result as he stared calculatingly at it and smiled slightly. “Brother Dog, you held back, didn’t you?”
Loopy Toad wagged its tail. “You can tell?”
“Our family has raised and trained soul pets for generations. We have a secret art which allows us to determine the strength of a spirit beast based on its unique aura. I took a sniff of Brother Dog and felt that your unique aura was very dense… so your strength is at the very least third class.” At this point, Wei Zhi suddenly stared at Loopy Toad and couldn’t help wiping at his drool.
Loopy Toad was alarmed. “…” The hell?! What did this guy want?
Wei Zhi: “Brother Dog, would you mind… if I hugged you for a good whiff?”
Loopy Toad: “Get lost…”
Wei Zhi sighed with obvious disappointment. ” Ai , how can you be like that, we were fated to meet! I haven’t smelled such a rich unique aura in a long time!”
The corners of Loopy Toad’s mouth twitched. “Are you a dog?”
Wei Zhi: “How did you know 1 ?”
Loopy Toad: “…”
After a moment of silence, Loopy Toad looked into the distance. “I’m going home.”
Saying this, it leapt down the steps, looking very cool.
The traffic in front of the center was very heavy as pedestrians flowed by in an endless stream.
The sun shone directly onto Loopy Toad’s green dog fur, so even in the crowd, it still stood out.
Standing on the steps, Wei Zhi looked at Loopy Toad’s back and shouted loudly, “Brother Dog! Will we meet again?”
Loopy Toad didn’t speak, but just raised one of its front paws. Only then did Wei Zhi realize that his cap had actually been taken!
I’ll find you…
Once it was a distance away from Wei Zhi, Loopy Toad tilted its head slightly, and then in a flash, it disappeared like a bolt of lightning in the crowd.

“As expected, Brother Dog isn’t simple!”
On the steps to the entrance of the assessment center, Wei Zhi took out a new cap and put it on, his heart brimming with excitement.
…
On its way back, Loopy Toad crouched quietly under the bench at the bus stop as it prepared to take the next spirit bus back to the Wang family’s small villa.
It was how it had gotten here earlier.
Considering how a dog paying for itself or using a public transport card to ride a vehicle would cause an uproar, Loopy Toad’s usual tactic was to wait for the instant that the bus doors opened, and then slip in like lightning before hiding. Then, it would leave two coins under the seat before getting off.
This was a tried and tested method, and Loopy Toad was very confident in being fast enough to get on the bus. Even if they took surveillance videos, unless the images were slowed down fifty times, they still wouldn’t even be able to see Loopy Toad’s shadow.
While Loopy Toad yawned as it crouched under the bench, a familiar aura suddenly appeared, and Loopy Toad was instantly on alert.
It had smelled this aura before!
And it was very clear that this aura was hostile.
Under the bench, Loopy Toad narrowed its eyes and saw a guy in a black windbreaker appear in front of it!
Loopy Toad was sure that this was the man with the bone dragon at the test hall earlier!
Did he want revenge?
Loopy Toad couldn’t help laughing inwardly. It didn’t bother to avoid the man, and simply came out directly.
But just as it emerged, several dark shadows came out of nowhere in a flash to immediately surround it! These people were carrying rope and a cage; most terrible of all was that one of them was holding an electric prod. This bunch laughed vulgarly; it was obvious from their faces that they didn’t have good intentions.
The f**k… what did they want?
Loopy Toad knew it had been targeted.
Staring at the men in black in front of it, Loopy Toad was very calm in its heart. There were five men that had surrounded it, and they were all Golden Core cultivators. If it had just been one or two of them, Loopy Toad thought it could have completely handled it, but in the current situation… After all, four paws were really no match for ten hands, and fighting back would really be too difficult.
But it would still have a chance if it ran.
Loopy Toad felt a little resentful at this thought; whatever had happened in the past, it had still been a demon king… If it wasn’t because it had yet to recover its full strength, it could have swallowed these petty mongrel cultivators up in one bite!
“Hello, Mr Dog. Our organization is very interested in you and would like to invite you to have some tea and a snack.” The man in black with the bone dragon was holding a rope and had a sinister smile on his face as he spoke.
Loopy Toad looked at these men in black in shock. They were actually kidnapping a dog of the people in broad daylight… It had just come out for a bit to take the test for the qualification certificate, but had been targeted. What kind of shitty situation was this?
“What if I say no?” Loopy Toad looked at the man and replied.
The man in black pulled out the electric prod he was carrying. “This electric prod is a specially remodeled electroshock magic treasure which can deliver a hundred thousand volts of electricity.” Saying this, the man chuckled. “If you won’t come with us, I’ll even stun a ghost for you to see!”
Loopy Toad: “…”

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
