Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

[Quest Complete, Successfully Snatched and Killed King Beast]

[Reward, 300 Evolution Points]

The cold, mechanical voice of the System notification echoed in Xiao Ye's mind.

Nice! Three hundred evolution points were enough to upgrade both summoned beasts to their third forms, which meant their power would skyrocket again! *Xiao Ye thought to himself, feeling utterly delighted.*

Xiao Ye immediately called up the System panel.

[Host, Xiao Ye]

[Contract Template 1, SSS-level Template: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon]

[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Second Form, Three-toed, 0/200; Third Form, Four-toed, gain one innate talent skill, and one elemental mastery]

[Contract Template 2, SSS-level Template: Nine-tailed Celestial Fox]

[Second Form, Two-tailed White Fox 0/200; Three-tailed White Fox, randomly awaken a concept-type talent skill, and permanently gain one extra life]

[Evolution Points, 400]

"System, upgrade the forms of these two summoned beasts."

Form upgrades did not need to be done in person; using the System to upgrade worked just fine. The System immediately processed the two summoned beasts training in the basement—they would receive their form upgrades automatically.

[400 Evolution Points consumed, Form Upgrade in Progress, Upgrade Successful]

[SSS-level Template: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (Third Form, Four-Toed Golden Dragon)]

[Talent Skills][Holy Golden Dragon Might][Absolute Damage Reduction][Water Element Control][Invincible Golden Body]

[Fire Element Control, As the name suggests, you wield absolute control over all fire elements in the world, you are the true sovereign within flame] New

[True Shield, When activated, create a true shield with ten times your max health]

[Summoned Beast Form Upgrade Function]

[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Third Form, Four-Toed, 0/300; Fourth Form, Five-Toed, gain another innate talent skill, and another elemental mastery]

A true shield worth ten times max health—this meant the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was both tank and mage DPS.

For defense, it had Absolute Damage Reduction, Invincible Golden Body, and the True Shield.

For ranged damage, it had both Water Element Control and Fire Element Control.

This was seriously tanky and high damage at the same time.

After reviewing the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's stats, Xiao Ye then checked the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's panel.

[SSS-level Template: Nine-tailed Celestial Fox (Third Form, Three-tailed White Fox) (Three Lives)]

[Three Lives, Even if the body and soul were destroyed to the atomic level, the Three-tailed White Fox would fully resurrect in a safe place]

[Talent Skills][Divine Charm][Divine Subversion][Absolute True Damage]

[Skill Deprivation, Strip the target's talent skill, preventing its use, single target attack] New

[Summoned Beast Form Upgrade Function]

[Three-Tailed Form, Three-tailed White Fox 0/300; Four-tailed White Fox, randomly awaken a concept-type talent skill, and permanently gain another life]

From second to third form, one talent skill was gained, and permanently earned another life.

Skill Deprivation—just hearing the name sounded ridiculously overpowered. *In battle, if he stripped away the enemy's best skill, how could they even fight back?*

As for the extra life, the Three-tailed White Fox now had three total.

This was the most broken part.

Three lives—no matter the destruction, not even ashes left, it would still resurrect.

"Boom!" Xiao Ye felt his power progress speed up by a massive leap—at least five times what it had been before. At this rate, whereas he used to take two days to advance one small Grandmaster rank, now he could hit that in about half a day.

Two minor advancements in one day! *Xiao Ye grinned, feeling utterly pleased with himself.*

Next step, to hunt down a demon beast group in Grandmaster realm that housed a King Beast.

He would extract both Five Elements Rule Fragment Crystals and Supreme Crystals at the same time.

Liu Ya noticed the curve of his mouth was even more unstoppable than a cannon barrage; *her heart fluttered for the one she admired, and she couldn't help but feel excited too.*

Her wristwatch projected a virtual screen, a map full of red dots appearing on the display.

Xiao Ye checked the dots one by one, inspecting their details—no Five Element attributes, next—he checked another cluster of red dots.

"Miss Teaching Assistant, help me find a map of demon beast groups with King Beasts that have Five Elements attributes," Xiao Ye requested.

Liu Ya had been a teacher at Modu Academy for years; she was far more familiar with the live combat base than he was.

Sure enough, she glanced at the map, casually pointed to several red dots along the border, then parted her rosy lips and said,

"There aren't many demon beast groups with a King Beast. Every King Beast is a super valuable resource, and the Academy paid a hefty price to acquire them."

Xiao Ye tapped those red dots to check their details.

[Gold Element Thousand Blade Mantis][Earth Attribute Winged Rat][Earth Element Ground Squirrel Mutant Beast][Wood Element Yellow Poisonous Demon Plant][Water Element Demon Turtle][Water Dragon Crocodile][Water Element Demon Shark]

All Five Elements attribute demon beasts.

Xiao Ye's eyes sparkled. He stepped forward and planted a big smooch on Liu Ya's fair, lovely cheek, and said,

"I want all those King Beasts. Let's roll out!"

Right after, he grabbed Liu Ya's soft, delicate hand and together they headed toward their target location. Read ahead and get updates at M*V*L*E*M*P*Y*R.

After a short while, several massive earthen mounds came into view—about fifty in total, each with its own entrance. From time to time, a ground squirrel mutant beast with long fangs popped out, then burrowed back into the mounds.

At the center, there was an especially huge and tall mound—bigger than any of the others.

[Earth Element Ground Squirrel Mutant Beast]

Standing not far off, Xiao Ye gazed intently at the mound cluster—about the size of a football field.

On the largest mound's surface lounged an enormous ground squirrel mutant beast, with gigantic fangs. Its faint aura could be felt even from a distance, and it seemed to be dozing, sunbathing.

"That's the one—the ground squirrel mutant King Beast."

The two of them hid atop an ancient tree. Xiao Ye planned to go for a direct capture.

Whoosh! With a forceful kick, he shot his body forward like a missile toward the biggest mound—blitzing forward at a breakneck speed of over fifty meters per second.

One hundred and fifty meters vanished in three seconds. Wrapped in his power of realm, Xiao Ye closed the distance.

The sunbathing ground squirrel never saw it coming. Xiao Ye grabbed its leg and threw it towards Liu Ya's direction.

The beast sailed in a perfect arc, landing precisely beneath the ancient tree.

"Thud!" Just as the ground squirrel mutant King Beast started thrashing frantically, a snow-white, slender leg pinned it under a shoe—totally immobilized.

When Xiao Ye came back, he frowned and said, "This King Beast is only Grandmaster Two-Star? No way."

The ground squirrel mutant's red dot profile read it as a Grandmaster Six-Star group.

"This is just a ground squirrel mutant beast with King Beast blood. It is not the leader of this mutant beast group," Liu Ya explained.

Xiao Ye realized, and his smile broadened.

After gently moving Liu Ya's jade foot aside, he ended the Grandmaster Two-Star King Beast bloodline mutant beast with two punches.

[Grandmaster Realm King Beast, successfully extracted one Supreme Rule Fragment Crystal]

Its body disappeared, vanishing completely.

Xiao Ye was thrilled—another Supreme type, one more Supreme Crystal.

This ground squirrel mutant beast group definitely had more King Beast bloodline beasts!
