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

If you compared the Mortal Tier to a sewer, then the Grandmaster Realm would be a small stream.

Above the Grandmaster stood the Great Grandmaster, which was like a river.

Above the Great Grandmaster was the Venerable, a mighty, ever-flowing river even wider and deeper.

Climbing higher, the Great Venerable was the vast, unfathomable ocean.

Only at the Grandmaster Realm, Xiao Ye, just a little stream, seemed as insignificant as a drop in the ocean when facing Liu Ya of the Great Venerable Realm, like a lone boat on the endless sea.

The Great Venerable Realm, whether in terms of physical strength or energy, was far superior to the Grandmaster Realm.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Ye collapsed from exhaustion, holding Liu Ya, who hadn't even broken a sweat, and said helplessly, "Your physical defense is too strong, I can't break through it at all!"

Yeah, after half an hour of effort, Xiao Ye still hadn't managed to break that membrane.

Liu Ya burst out laughing, trying to comfort him, "It's okay, I have other ways."

"Ah!" Xiao Ye's eyes went dead, and he could only accept his fate as a puppet, letting Liu Ya do whatever she wanted.

*Xiao Ye felt deeply unwilling.*

*The most beautiful treasure in the world was right in front of him, yet he was powerless to reach for it.*

*At the end of the day, it was just because his realm was too low.*

Between the Great Venerable Realm and the Grandmaster Realm, they were separated by three whole great realms: Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Venerable, and Great Venerable. The difference in strength was hundreds, maybe even thousands of times.

To put it simply, if a Great Venerable stood still, and everyone in the Grandmaster Realm attacked with all their might, they still couldn't even scratch a single strand of hair on the Great Venerable's body.

After all, the passive defense of someone in the Great Venerable Realm wasn't something a mere Grandmaster could break through.

"What a tragedy!" Xiao Ye roared.

The battle was over.

A while later, in the downstairs living room, on the couch.

*Xiao Ye wore a face full of frustration.*

*Family, who could understand? I couldn't even break her defense!*

Liu Ya snickered, "Your realms are too low, you really need to level up."

Nangong Siyao glanced at Liu Ya, then at Cheng Bingxi, finally looking at herself. Comparing them, she realized something.

The Third Madam's realm was at the Great Venerable Realm.

But as for herself and Second Madam, they, the First and Second Madams, were only at the Grandmaster Realm.

A surge of motivation rose up in Nangong Siyao's heart, "From now on, we need to work hard at cultivation!"

Cheng Bingxi opened her mouth, confused, "We're already Grandmaster Seven-Star, that's already pretty good."

Nangong Siyao shook her head, "We're the First and Second Madam, how can our realms be lower than the Third Madam's?"

"Sister Bingxi, we've never been weaker than anyone. Maybe we can't surpass the Third Madam, but at least we should match her!"

Xiao Ye suddenly shot to his feet, eyes determined, and said firmly, "Cultivate. We must cultivate!"

*Xiao Ye never wanted to experience the pain of having meat he couldn't eat again.*

Liu Ya rolled her eyes at him, thinking, *She'll be yours sooner or later, she's not running away, so what's the rush?*

Under Xiao Ye's urging, the three of them entered the underground cultivation room. The space inside was enormous, large enough to fit the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and the Three-Toed Golden Dragon.

The three immediately activated their Contractual Power and transformed into their Summoned Beast forms.

In an instant, a golden, radiant Three-Toed Golden Dragon appeared in midair, while the Two-tailed White Fox stood firmly on the ground.

They took out the three Grandmaster High Grade Crystal Cores Yun Bing once gave them and began absorbing the messy energy within. Then they slowly refined it inside their Summoned Beasts before finally being able to use it to improve their own realms.

An hour passed, and the realm had barely advanced; Xiao Ye estimated it would take a week to get a tiny bit stronger.

To reach the Great Venerable Realm, just relying on such junk energy crystal cores, it would take decades.

*Xiao Ye: …*

*Xiao Ye's defenses crumbled. Damn, decades? That would mean he couldn't fully enjoy what he'd worked so hard for for decades.*

*What a tragedy!*

At that moment, Liu Ya came down carrying a pile of blue potion bottles.

Xiao Ye's eyes instantly lit up; he recognized what those potions were.

Liu Ya swayed her sexy hips as she walked up to the Holy Two-tailed White Fox, putting the bottles of Energy Liquid on the ground, then smiled,

"These are the leftover purified Energy Liquid I had before, here."

Xiao Ye took a quick look; there were about twenty bottles in that pile.

Checking their labels, there were eight Grandmaster High Grade Energy Liquids, eight Great Grandmaster Low Grade Energy Liquids, and four Great Grandmaster Middle Grade Energy Liquids.

"Hahaha!" Xiao Ye was overjoyed and made the Two-tailed White Fox go over to kiss Liu Ya.

With these Energy Liquids, he could rapidly advance to Grandmaster Three-Star.

Compared with the junk energy crystal cores, the speed would be over ten times faster!

That fuzzy kiss made Liu Ya feel weird, so she changed the subject,

"Too bad Energy Liquid is always in short supply. All the Energy Liquid above Great Grandmaster, I've already given to those disciples. This is all that's left." Reader support at M*VLEM*PYR made this translation possible.

The Holy Two-tailed White Fox said, "It's fine if you don't have more. Can't force it, these will be enough for a while."

Right after that, the Golden Dragon and the White Fox used the Energy Liquids, which had been purified through hundreds of advanced tech processes.

"Boom!" The energy was instantly converted into their own without any need for refining; the Golden Dragon and White Fox's realms skyrocketed in the blink of an eye.

"All the absorbed energy was gathering in their mental core, generating the Power of Realm."

"Then, by controlling the Power of Realm, forming a circulation throughout the body, the speed of refining pure energy increased rapidly."

"Then push the Demon Beast cultivation method at full speed, letting the mental core absorb the energy."

Liu Ya transformed into a Spirit Illusion Cat beast-eared girl, guiding them from the side, her two fluffy cat ears perking up on her head, a slender, elegant gray tail swaying behind her.

The Three-Toed Golden Dragon and the Holy Two-tailed White Fox followed Liu Ya's method, and to their surprise, their speed tripled!

That, plus the tenfold speed from pure energy, made it thirty times faster than before!

What once took a week to gain a tier could now be done in just five hours!

This speed was downright insane.

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi were both shocked speechless.

Unbelievable!

Xiao Ye rejoiced. At Grandmaster Seven-Star, they'd be able to reach the Great Grandmaster Realm in a single day!

Before, that would've taken more than a month! The time was cut down by a factor of thirty.

Liu Ya wasn't just the hottest teaching assistant—she'd been a famous "Most Beautiful Professor" a hundred years ago!

With her guidance, cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.

"If you guys get good at using the Power of Realm to drive your cultivation, your speed could double again."

"But don't get greedy for quick results. If you rush too much, you'll neglect building a strong foundation, huh?"

Liu Ya stood with her arms crossed, giving more tips on the side, when suddenly her expression shifted.

She saw that the Golden Dragon and White Fox had already finished their first bottle of Energy Liquid and were grabbing a second bottle to chug down in one go.

Liu Ya exclaimed in surprise, "You already absorbed a whole bottle of Energy Liquid so quick?"

The Golden Dragon, after chugging a bottle, nodded, "Yeah, Sister Liu Ya, what's up?"

"Hiss!" Liu Ya sucked in a breath, shocked,

"Your speed is at least five times faster than that of a normal SSS-rated template Summoned Beast!"

Liu Ya circled around the Golden Dragon and White Fox, eyes glittering as she kept muttering,

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

"Er." Xiao Ye finally figured out what was going on.

The Three-Toed Golden Dragon was in its second form, having upgraded using System evolution points.

The White Fox was also in its second form; its bloodline had been leveled up once.

Their cultivation speed and combat power were of course ahead of normal SSS-rated template Summoned Beasts.

But to be five times faster—even Xiao Ye was stunned!

And that was just their second form—there were still a third, a fourth, a fifth…

*When they got to that level, just how strong would they become!*
