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

In just a few seconds, over a dozen gigantic tree dragons had arrived right in front of them—after a furious roar, they attacked the two of them.

Each one leaped high into the air, crashing down with terrifying force like a mountain falling from the sky.

Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyao exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly, and dodged to the side.

Boom! The tree dragons slammed into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere and blocking their view.

Xiao Ye and his partner took advantage of this chance to strike at the tree dragons one by one.

With a punch or a kick, they took down a tree dragon just like that.

Don't be fooled by how huge these tree dragons were, their auras only matched a Grandmaster Four-Star to Grandmaster Eight-Star—against two Grandmaster Realm Ten-Star fighters, taking them out was as easy as slaughtering chickens.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Under their assault, they could cripple a Grandmaster Realm tree dragon in just two or three seconds, rendering it unable to move.

Two minutes later, all the dozen or so Grandmaster Realm tree dragons that had attacked were completely wiped out.

With a soft thud, Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyao landed gently on the ground, dusted off their hands, and laughed, "Done!"

These were all Destruction Attribute Demon Beasts, but as for their attack methods, Xiao Ye honestly hadn't felt anything special.

They were more like thick-headed brawlers who loved close combat, attacking anyone as soon as they saw them.

Nangong Siyao looked down at her shoes—they were unscathed.

She pulled a sharp knife from her backpack, then stabbed downward right into the heart of the tree dragon at her feet. With a ripping sound, the skin split open and blood gushed out. A Grandmaster mid-grade Crystal Core was scooped out with the blade.

Nangong Siyao didn't stop there. She pried open the tree dragon's skull, reached her hand inside, poked around for a while, and pulled out a black substance wrapped in skin, radiating an unsettling aura.

This was Destructive Material!

*It was her first time seeing it, so Nangong Siyao curiously stripped off the outer layer—immediately, a stream of black Destructive Material dispersed into the air.*

Then, something shocking happened.

A wisp of Destructive Material touched a massive ancient tree—*that tree seemed to lose all life in an instant, rapidly withering. In a single breath, it collapsed, turning into a pile of stinking, shriveled rotten wood on the ground.*

A wisp drifted onto the lush green grass—*a few seconds later, what had been vibrant grass turned into yellow, rotten straw, reeking of decay.*

A wisp of Destructive Material landed on Nangong Siyao's white, form-fitting combat suit.

That suit erupted with a series of cracks, crumbling into powder and scattering through the air.

Now, without her combat suit, Nangong Siyao was left exposed—her curves fully on display, and she was totally stunned.

Xiao Ye reacted fast, gathering up the black Destructive Material from the air and sealing it in the skin. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Si Yao, you all right?"

Nangong Siyao definitely didn't have an exhibitionist streak. With a yelp, her pretty face blushed bright red, and she dove into a thick patch of grass.

Xiao Ye activated the Template Adjuster's extraction function.

[Grandmaster Realm Destruction Type Demon Beast, successfully extracted 6 Destruction Rule Fragment Crystals]

[Grandmaster Realm Destruction Type Demon Beast, successfully extracted 8 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals]

The vast, supreme power of extraction descended—every heavily injured tree dragon crumbled into powder, scattering into the air so that not a single bone remained. CatchtheformattedversionatM|V|LEM_PYR.

*What puzzled Xiao Ye was that the tree dragon from which the Crystal Core and Destructive Material had been dug out—a Grandmaster Four-Star—wasn't affected by the Template's extraction power.*

[Only Demon Beasts with intact bodies that are on the brink of death or have recently died can have Rule Fragment Crystals extracted.]

The Template Adjuster had cleared up his confusion.

*Now Xiao Ye got it. He put that tree dragon's body into the System Space, thinking that wasting it would be a shame—might as well use it as food.*

"Hey! Xiao Ye, help!" Suddenly, Nangong Siyao's panicked cry came from the thick patch of grass.

Xiao Ye's brows furrowed. He launched himself like a cannonball, rocketing straight into the grass.

"Bug!" Nangong Siyao's face was panicked, and *her pale, naked body had a tiny bug creeping at lightning speed all over her.*

She kept swatting but couldn't hit the bug.

"Leave that bug to me, let me handle it!" Xiao Ye said, immediately taking action.

Slap!

Xiao Ye struck down forcefully, his palm smacking onto the skin drum, leaving a red handprint.

"Xiao Ye, you hurt me!" Nangong Siyao glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Ye scratched his head awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, missed it."

So Xiao Ye focused fully on following the bug's crawling path, locked in, and struck down again, landing another heavy smack on the skin drum.

This time, there was a matching red palm print on both sides.

But the bug still wasn't hit.

Nangong Siyao pouted, grumbling, "Xiao Ye, are you doing this on purpose or what?"

Then the bug started crawling all over the fruitful peaks of the mature beauty's body. Xiao Ye was just about to take a shot, planning to use all his strength to end it in one hit, when Nangong Siyao hurriedly said, "Stop, are you trying to blow me up with all that force? Be gentle!"

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, pulling his hand back sullenly.

Then—boom!

Xiao Ye unleashed a burst of powerful Power of Realm from his body, crushing toward the bug.

The Supreme Attribute Power of Realm was wild and overbearing, intimidating everything in its path.

In less than half a second, the bug started twitching all over and dropped to the ground—Nangong Siyao stomped it dead in one go!

"All right, Grandmaster Realm Ten-Star but you're scared of a bug, really!" Xiao Ye said, speechless. *She could've just released a bit of her own energy and blown the bug away.*

Nangong Siyao pouted, looking pitiful, "I was scared, okay? I totally forgot to do anything in the heat of the moment."

*Xiao Ye's face darkened—she could kill a giant dinosaur with a single kick, but somehow couldn't handle a tiny bug?*

He grabbed a fresh combat suit from System Space and tossed it to Nangong Siyao, staring straight at her to make sure she put it on.

Once she was dressed, Nangong Siyao rubbed her tender skin drum, shooting Xiao Ye a glare with her beautiful eyes.

*Seriously, why'd this guy have to hit so hard? It hurt like hell.*

Then they stepped out of the grass together. Xiao Ye took out the Destructive Material wrapped in tree dragon skin, his face full of amazement, and said,

"This stuff is pretty much a living thing's worst enemy—it can destroy life and even break down the material structure."

Nangong Siyao stared at it with lingering fear, saying, "Sister Liu Ya said one gram of this could be sold for a Grandmaster low-grade Crystal Core. Ten grams could get you a Great Grandmaster low-grade Crystal Core. It's seriously valuable."

Xiao Ye weighed it in his hand—it seemed like it was only half a gram.

*Half a gram wouldn't get you squat.*

So Xiao Ye shrugged and tossed it to Nangong Siyao, saying, "It's yours. Hurry up—we've got a heavy mission. We need to hunt fifty Grandmaster Realm Destruction Attribute dinosaurs and fifty Grandmaster Realm Life Attribute Demon Beasts!"

Nangong Siyao grabbed the little bundle in a hurry, shoving it into her tiny backpack, as if she was afraid waiting even a second would let the stuff stick to her again.

Once she'd put away the Destructive Material, she perked right up again, tossing her head proudly and declaring,

"When it comes to slaying dinosaurs, I'm the expert—I can kick one to death with a single blow!"
