Three Blazing Fire Demon Rabbits skilled in Fire Skills, and one Thousand Blade Mantis Demon Beast skilled in Gold Skill hardening.

[Extracting Fire Element Rule Fragment Crystal, extraction failed]

[Extracting Gold Element Rule Fragment Crystal, extraction failed]

After the vast and deep Extraction Power had descended, the four Demon Beasts, which had been smashed into a deep pit, seemed to be roasted by tens of thousands of degrees, directly vaporizing. The extraction results from the Template Adjuster also appeared in his mind.

Xiao Ye curled his lips, thinking that only Grandmaster Realm Demon Beasts could yield one, and Great Grandmaster Realm ones could yield two.

Mortal Realm Demon Beasts below Grandmaster Realm didn't have bodies strong enough to hold out. The Rule Power inside them completely collapsed and dissipated, causing the extraction to fail.

"Assistant Teacher, let's head to the Grandmaster Realm Demon Beast zone."

Xiao Ye had said that and went on ahead.

Standing where she was, Liu Ya realized she had been fooled. Furious, she stomped her foot, clenched her fist, and gritted her teeth, saying,

"Fine, fine, Xiao Ye, now you're even playing me, huh."

*He clearly said they were here for live combat with Demon Beasts, but hinted at ... whatever. She got so damn nervous over nothing.*

As for the Demon Beasts here, Liu Ya hadn't given them a thought. As someone in the Great Venerable Realm, she could kill a horde just by farting.

Demon Beast Forest, surrounding area.

On the way, Xiao Ye ran into several teams of student elites who came for live combat practice.

They were all from Modu Beastmaster Academy, from several different colleges. Judging by appearances, probably sophomores or juniors—elite students.

Most of them emitted a Grandmaster Two-Star aura, while a few were at Grandmaster Five-Star.

"Whoa, who's that guy, showing up alone at the live combat base?"

"This zone has at least Grandmaster Realm Demon Beasts. He's not afraid of dying?"

"Probably just another arrogant kid with no real skills."

"I already reported him. The base patrol team will be along to escort him out soon."

These elite teams all had ten or more people, only daring to come get a taste of the base. Seeing Xiao Ye all alone immediately got the rumors flying.

Some of the elite students had even reported it to base authorities.

For now, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged on a spotted giant boulder, legs up, waiting for Assistant Teacher to show up.

*He considered whether to call the Little Deputy—that's the Deputy Director—and get a map of the Demon Beast distribution.*

If he just wandered around blind like this, his efficiency was going to tank.

Coming down the side path, Liu Ya appeared at last, swaying her sexy hips, walking slowly toward Xiao Ye's location.

Xiao Ye, getting impatient, leapt off the boulder, peed under it, then sprang back atop the two-meter-high rock to sit and wait. ThegenuinearticleresidesonM|V|L&EMPYR.

The long-legged, wasp-waisted Liu Ya finally arrived, looking at Xiao Ye with open disdain in her beautiful eyes. She called out,

"Xiao Ye, please don't pee everywhere. Out here, you're still representing me, Liu Ya."

Xiao Ye shrugged, casually saying, "I'm not you. I'm not that uptight or pampered."

Liu Ya: "..."

Rumble! The spotted boulder under Xiao Ye started to shake.

Liu Ya put her hands on her hips and giggled, "See, even the big stone is protesting!"

Xiao Ye did a backflip and landed on the ground, looking at the violently shaking stone in confusion and alarm.

"Pfft!" The underside of the spotted boulder split open, revealing a pair of pale, eerie eyes. Two nostril-shaped holes blasted out clouds of foul air.

"Oh, that's a Giant Stone Demon Beast. You just took a leak right on its face," Liu Ya jumped lightly onto the high branches of a towering old tree, gloating as she spoke.

*Xiao Ye: ...*

He twitched his mouth and said, "Hey, Rock Bro, it wasn't on purpose—can you blame me for thinking you looked like a rock?"

"Roar!" The Giant Stone Demon Beast bellowed furiously, unleashing a powerful aura as it charged straight at Xiao Ye.

The energy it unleashed belonged at the level of a Five-Star Grandmaster.

"That guy's in trouble now. He just pissed off something real. Let's go back him up."

"Stone Demon Beasts mutate from rare magic stones. They're tough as hell and barely feel pain. Fighting power matches any high-tier Grandmaster."

"Back him up? We're just Grandmaster Two-Stars. We'd be throwing our lives away."

"Call the patrol squad! Call the patrol squad!"

"That stuck-up kid is finally learning his lesson—the hard way. Too bad he doesn't have time to regret it."

"Run, bro, just book it!"

"Hey, that hot girl looks familiar. Is she his teammate or what?"

From dozens of meters away, the elite student teams were shouting and chattering.

But what happened next stunned everyone.

Xiao Ye didn't dodge, didn't even flinch—instead, he faced the onrushing, oval Stone Demon Beast head-on.

Bang! Clenching a fist as big as a sandbag, he punched forward hard. The air exploded with a shockwave.

A Great Grandmaster's aura erupted all around, his fist carrying the power of ten thousand tons as it struck the rolling boulder beast head-on.

A cloud of dust rose, blocking everyone's view. All the elite students saw something sent flying, smashing through a dozen massive old trees before crashing to the ground, dragging a deep trench along the earth before stopping at last.

Right where he'd been, when the dust settled, a tall figure stood straight and unshaken, not retreating even half a step, his fist still extended in a finishing blow.

All four or five different academy elite teams stared, stunned, their eyes wide as they exclaimed,

"Holy shit, we really misjudged that guy—he's a monster!"

"That Giant Stone Demon Beast got blasted into pieces. No way it's alive. Damn, one punch KO!"

"666, we're the clowns here. Dude totally had the strength to solo this whole combat base."

"Wait! I remember now—that hot girl before, wasn't she the most beautiful assistant instructor, Liu Ya? Great Venerable Ten-Star, the top rank below Supreme!"

The elite teams kept babbling as a heavy-footed patrol squad came running up from the distance.

"Who called for help? What's the situation?" the patrol squad captain asked after a sweep—nobody seemed in danger.

One of the students who'd reported Xiao Ye stepped over to explain briefly.

The captain immediately fixed his gaze on Xiao Ye, who was busy brushing stone dust off his clothes.

When the captain recognized Xiao Ye's face, he was startled. He hurried over and saluted, saying,

"Greetings, Mr. Xiao!"

The patrol team hauled over the shattered, five-hundred-pound Giant Stone Demon Beast and stood before Xiao Ye, reporting in unison,

"Mr. Xiao, this is your spoils of war."

*Xiao Ye thought to himself: Don't these guys smell anything nasty, hauling that thing around?*

"You all know me?" Xiao Ye asked.

The patrol captain replied, "Of course, sir. You're a friend of our Deputy Director. He showed us your picture."

Xiao Ye nodded, suddenly getting it. "I see. Well, do you have a detailed map of Demon Beasts in the base? Could you lend me one?"

The patrol squad captain tapped his Communication Watch, bringing up a virtual screen filled with dense red dots.

"Sure thing, but my clearance only lets me see the Grandmaster Domain. Here you go."

He handed Xiao Ye his Communication Watch.

Xiao Ye took it, planning to return it after using it.

Looking at the shattered chunks of Giant Stone Demon Beast on the ground, Xiao Ye activated the Template Adjuster's extraction function.

[Extraction successful, obtained an Earth Element Rule Fragment Crystal]

This was an Earth Element Rule Fragment Crystal—with a scent.

It was also a pretty smelly Exotic Treasure.

Xiao Ye grinned, looked up—and found himself face-to-face with a pair of long, fair, flawless legs. He said,

"Assistant Teacher, let me show you something awesome."
