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

Xiao Ye immediately activated the extraction function of the Template Adjuster.

In an instant, a vast and advanced mysterious power descended, enveloping every Yellow Poisonous Demon Plant on the verge of death, and began extracting Rule Fragment Crystals.

This supreme power was completely undetectable by the Titan Pride students.

"Haha, the Tree Heart, I'm finally about to get it."

"Yeah, the ranking points in the battle base—Titan Academy is first again this year."

"Kunpeng Academy is always number two, the eternal runner-up."

"They're probably never going to hold their heads up again!"

While these Titan Prides were excited and whispering among themselves, they suddenly realized they'd grabbed at nothing.

In their eyes, each Yellow Poisonous Demon Plant suddenly started struggling and convulsing, then its body decayed and collapsed, turning into dust that drifted off in the air.

The entire process took less than a second, lightning fast.

All the Titan Prides on the leaderboard were stunned, their eyes wide in disbelief as they stared at the dust swirling in the air.

"How could this happen? What's going on?"

"They turned to dust?"

They looked at each other, lost for what to do.

It was the first time they'd run into such a bizarre situation.

Helpless, they reported it to the battle base officials, explained the situation, and demanded points for killing the demon plants.

"Sorry, points can only be exchanged with demon beast body parts as proof, but as for the disappearance of the demon plants, we'll send someone to investigate."

After getting their answer and ending the call, the Titan Prides were pissed off and complained,

"We prepped for so long and finally succeeded, and now no points?"

"Damn it, seriously, damn it, who the hell is messing with us!"

They pounded their chests in rage, furious but utterly helpless.

A hundred meters away, hidden in the thick bushes, Liu Ya squinted her beautiful eyes and covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

"Assistant instructor, is this really okay, what we just did?" Xiao Ye asked.

Liu Ya didn't see anything wrong with it, and her smiling eyes curved into little crescents. "You're the one who snatched it, not me. I never laid a finger."

Xiao Ye twitched his lips, "Sounds legit."

Liu Ya explained, "Those Titan Prides have always snatched our Kunpeng Prides' loot. Us taking theirs for once? Fair's fair."

Xiao Ye understood now—it all made sense why Liu Ya, as an assistant instructor, would actually suggest he go loot the rewards.

[Yellow Poisonous Demon Plant, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 20 Wood Element Rule Fragment Crystals]

[Yellow Poisonous Demon Plant, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 25 Creation Crystals]

[Plant King Beast, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 3 Supreme Crystals]

Template Extractor notifications popped up in his mind.

This time he'd gotten three Supreme Rule Fragment Crystals, and Xiao Ye felt awesome.

"Did you get the big prize?" Liu Ya's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Xiao Ye pulled a 'Creation' Rule Fragment Crystal out of his pocket.

"Whoa! No way, you actually did!" Little stars twinkled in Liu Ya's pure eyes. Since she was hugging Xiao Ye with both arms, she had no choice but to take the Creation Crystal in her mouth.

"Such a marvelous and mysterious aura, seriously attractive."

"Xiao Ye, I like these. Can I have it?" she mumbled with the crystal clamped in her teeth, her eyes full of hope.

Xiao Ye generously waved his hand, "If assistant instructor likes it, it's yours. No big deal."

"Thank you!" *Liu Ya was genuinely touched. This kind of supreme treasure, and he really just gave it away?*

"But..." Xiao Ye hesitated a little.

Liu Ya tensed up, nervous, "But what? If you don't want to give it to me, I understand."

Xiao Ye took the crystal from her mouth, sounding a bit dissatisfied, "You belong to me—everywhere, always. Don't use your mouth for this kind of thing."

Liu Ya let out a sigh of relief, rolling her eyes at him. *He's jealous—over the crystal?*

Next, the two of them set off to the next spot.

After they'd left, the Titan Prides grumbled and headed off as a team to attack another demon beast group.

At Yellow Sand Lake,

the Demon Dragon Academy students—one of the top ten academies in Devil City—were teaming up to take down a group of Water Element Demon Turtles.

Water Element Demon Turtles were amphibious demon beasts, living both on the beach and in the lake.

"Mental attacks are our thing."

"If we take down this demon turtle group, we'll shoot past Kunpeng Academy on the leaderboard and get to second place."

"Finally, we'll stomp those arrogant Kunpeng Prides into the ground. Let's go!"

Bam, bam, bam! Over thirty Grandmaster-level Summoned Beasts dove into battle against the basking Demon Turtle group on the beach.

The Demon Turtles had insane physical defense—once inside their shells, they were nearly untouchable. But nothing could save them from the Demon Dragon Prides' spiritual-type talent skill attacks.

The Demon Dragon Prides' summoned beasts quickly gained the upper hand—it was a one-sided slaughter.

Just then, a phantom shot in from a distance, hiding among the clouds in mid-air.

It was Liu Ya and Xiao Ye.

After checking out the situation below, Xiao Ye asked in surprise, "We're going to snatch their loot too?" T^h+i#s% copy co*mes fro+m con!t$e.nt on M|V|!L0E%M-PYR.

Liu Ya corrected him, "No, you are. Not us."

"What, you don't want to?"

Xiao Ye's eyes sparked, "I do, it's just—feels way too thrilling, way too fun, like helping—"

"Mm!" He quickly shut up, afraid to say too much.

Liu Ya's eyes flashed with danger as she stared him down, "Helping the needy is so fun and exciting?"

"No, no, no, just like helping an old lady who fell over! You got it wrong," Xiao Ye tried to wriggle out of it.

"Hmph!" Liu Ya finally let Xiao Ye off the hook.

Before long, the Demon Dragon Prides' Summoned Beasts scored their victory, moving on to collect their loot.

Dozens upon dozens of Grandmaster Four-Star Water Element Demon Turtles were flipped on their backs and badly wounded on the sand, over a hundred in total.

The Demon Dragon Prides started chopping off their heads, which served as point exchange tokens.

Liu Ya reminded, "Xiao Ye, do it!"

Xiao Ye quietly activated the Template Adjuster's extraction function.

[Demon Turtle, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 60 Water Element Rule Fragment Crystals]

[Demon Turtle, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 50 Creation Crystals]

[King Beast, Grandmaster level, successfully extracted 1 Supreme Crystal]

As the info for successful extraction popped up in his mind,

the Demon Dragon Prides collecting the loot below were utterly dumbfounded.

The Demon Turtles they'd grabbed seemed to rally for a final burst of energy, struggling wildly, exuding the stink of decay. Their once impenetrable shells turned soft, and then they all dissolved into dust that drifted away.

Over a hundred demon turtles vanished, turning to dust.

"Shit! They got pulverized!"

"Where'd the demon turtles go, what happened?"

"Unreal, they just turned to powder and disappeared!"

The Demon Dragon Prides were stunned.

This weirdness made them rush to report it.

The battle base officials who got the report quickly launched an investigation but found nothing and had to escalate it upstairs for a decision.

The three Deputy Directors who were busy welcoming their fellow students received the news and all took it seriously.
