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

The massive altar began to tremble gently. As time passed, the vibrations grew stronger and stronger, the frequency becoming extremely intense.

Outside the altar, the Mu Family Members were all dumbfounded.

"Has the altar been unused for too long, so now it's acting up?"

"Maybe the altar just got old and worn out from being used all these years."

"This is bad, we have to shut down the altar quickly before Xue'Er or Xiao Ye get hurt."

The City Lord, who was also the Clan Leader Mu Cheng, realized what was happening and tried to shut down the altar.

They didn't think the altar's abnormal reaction was because of the testers; after all, *that was just too much to believe.*

"Wait!" A deep voice echoed from above as a silver-haired elder appeared in midair.

"There's nothing wrong with the altar, no need to shut it down."

"That kid's talent is just freakish, he's hit the altar's detection limit."

"This generation of the Mu Family, we're about to give birth to a dragon!"

The silver-haired elder spoke in a steady voice tinged with excitement.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" "Ancestor!" "Greetings to the Ancestor!" "Ah, the Ancestor's here!" "Hiss, detection limit, just how terrifying must this talent be!"

"A peerless genius, a peerless genius! In thousands of years of the Mu Family's existence, we've never seen a genius that could make the altar act up like this."

"Our Mu Family really struck gold, Xue'Er is so lucky!"

"After the assessment, we must be sure to have them contract as soon as possible, geniuses like this must join our Mu Family!"

The Mu Family Members knelt to the ground one by one, paying their respects.

Everyone was shocked by what the silver-haired elder said.

The silver-haired elder gently waved a hand, and a force lifted everyone to their feet as he spoke solemnly, "I'll take it from here."

Mu Cheng said, "Alright, Ancestor."

This silver-haired elder was the Mu Family's current living Saint Realm expert, the oldest living Mu Family Member. Of course, the silver-haired elder also had a spouse, and both were still alive in this world.

The silver-haired elder immediately exerted his power, channeling a deep and vast mysterious energy into the dark altar.

The effect was immediate; the ancient altar's shaking calmed down.

Everyone turned their eyes toward the two people inside the altar.

At this moment, a rainbow light pillar was descending upon both of them—one big, one small. The pillar of light around Mu Qingxue was about ten meters in diameter, while Xiao Ye's column was an astonishing one hundred meters across—almost bursting out of the altar.

The gap was just too big!

And according to the silver-haired elder, Xiao Ye's potential detection hadn't even maxed out—the hundred-meter light column was just the altar's own limit, not Xiao Ye's!

As the detection continued, the red light pillar around Mu Qingxue widened to fifteen meters in diameter.

The pillar of rainbow light on Xiao Ye still matched the altar's size, a hundred meters across, but its color shifted from red to gold, then from gold to purple.

The purple grew deeper and deeper until it became a dark violet!

This monstrous phenomenon shocked everyone present, making them suck in a breath of cold air.

The silver-haired elder's body suddenly trembled. He had already wrung every bit of potential out of the altar, squeezing all its functions, but even then, it still couldn't measure the limits of that kid's potential. He simply ended the potential assessment at that point.

The detection ended, but the altar wasn't shut down yet.

Ten minutes later, the results would appear in words above the altar.

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue stepped out of the altar and walked over to the Mu Family Members.

The Mu Family Members' eyes burned with excitement as they eagerly crowded around Xiao Ye.

A bright smile blossomed on Mu Qingxue's pretty face as she returned gloriously, certain she had surpassed Xiao Ye. She quickly walked forward.

But the Mu Family Members just went around her, crowding around Xiao Ye, eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration.

Mu Qingxue was dumbstruck. She stomped her foot, saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm right here!"

"Uncle, Grandpa, I'm Mu Qingxue!"

"Hmph! That guy Xiao Ye doesn't have great potential—there's no way I want to contract with him."

Xiao Ye was puzzled by everyone's behavior.

The Mu Family Members all crowded in, one after another happily saying,

"Xiao Ye, well done! Having a young talent like you is a blessing for our Mu Family!"

"Yeah, just say whatever you want, the Mu Family will definitely give it to you!"

"Xiao Ye, when are you coming over to have tea with Uncle?"

"Xiao Ye, Mu Cheng and I knew we weren't mistaken. You really are worthy of Xue'Er's trust."

With everyone gathered around Xiao Ye, Mu Qingxue was left standing alone. *It gave her a strange feeling inside.*

She crowded forward too, wanting to see what was going on.

But every uncle and grandpa just showered him with praise and warmth; she couldn't pick up anything else from their words.

"Hmph! I'm only this guy's partner anyway, not his girlfriend, so who cares? Once we hit the Great Venerable Realm after contracting, we'll break the contract."

"There's no way I'd ever do that with him and three Beast Girls at once."

"If there's only one Beast Girl, maybe... Uh, no way, I'm not letting him dump me first."

Ten minutes went by in a flash.

The test results were out!

Above the altar, a giant screen of energy appeared, displaying the assessment results for the two of them.

Mu Qingxue looked over, checking her own results first thing.

[SSS-level Time Candle Dragon Template]

[Age, 20 years and 8 months 14 days]

[Realm, Great Grandmaster Peak]

[Innate Potential, SSS-level Upper]

[Template Attribute, Time Attribute]

There were also subdivisions among SSS-level templates.

Lower, Middle, Upper, Top, and so on.

With SSS-level Upper talent, even in the Mu Family, she'd be ranked in the top ten. Reader support at M*VLEM*PYR made this translation possible.

Mu Qingxue smiled, a dazzlingly bright smile—SSS-level Upper!

*She always knew her own talent was top notch, not beneath anyone else's. The only reason her cultivation speed was slower than Xiao Ye's was because she hadn't formed a contract—cultivating in human form was just slower than doing so as a Summoned Beast, that's all.*

But then, voices of shock and disbelief echoed out all around her,

"Holy shit! Mythical-Level Beastmaster talent? Is there even such a rank as Mythical Level in this world?"

"Damn, I'm totally blown away! That kind of talent is just insane!"

"An absolute monster, the kind that comes once in a million years!"

"Hey, why didn't it display Xiao Ye's subtitle ranking within the Mythical Level?"

"Hiss! Don't tell me the altar can't measure it!"

The Mu Family Members were all shocked out of their minds by the test results.

The silver-haired elder's eyes widened. He wiped his eyes, thinking he must be seeing things in his old age, but the result was still the same—Mythical Level!

He was stunned. In this Beast Girl Era, Mythical-Level talent had long vanished, yet it had appeared in this kid!

"The Mu Family really has produced a dragon!"

The silver-haired elder looked at Xiao Ye like he was his precious grandson, liking him more and more with every glance.

Mythical Level? Mu Qingxue froze.

She turned her gaze to Xiao Ye's results.

[Mythical-Level Beastmaster Talent]

[Age, 18 years and 6 months 28 days]

[Realm, Venerable Realm Five-Star]

[Innate Potential, Mythical Level ## Talent]

[Attributes, Five Elements Attribute, Supreme Attribute, Life Attribute, Destruction Attribute, Phantom Spirit Attribute, Thunder Attribute]

"Uh, what the..." Mu Qingxue was dumbfounded, frozen in an adorably stunned way.
