《I ve Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution》 Chapter 1 Evolution of the Useless Pet ¡°The admission day of the Beast Taming Academies will arrive soon. It will be in five days.¡± ¡°In the next five days, you have to be fully prepared. Don¡¯t fail to get into your ideal Beast Taming Academy.¡± In a classroom in the school, after the teacher finished speaking, class ended. The classroom was instantly filled with wails. ¡°Why is the admission day so soon? I¡¯m not mentally prepared yet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. With my current level, forget about the three best Beast Taming academies, it¡¯s already not bad that I can get into any one.¡± ¡°If I can¡¯t even get into the worst academy, I can only start working in a factory.¡± ¡­ Ye Fan remained silent in the classroom. Hearing the discussions around him, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. It had been over twenty days since he had transmigrated to this world. It had taken Ye Fan a very long time to completely digest this physical body¡¯s memories and understand this world. This world belonged to the demons. Humans could only hide in cities in safe areas and rely on Beast Tamers to protect themselves and resist the invasion of monsters. Therefore, in this world, Beast Tamers were the most important identity and the most popular profession. Beast Tamers shouldered the responsibility of protecting others and enjoyed better treatment than ordinary people. Beast Tamer was a profession that everyone dreamed of. Ye Fan was the same. Unfortunately, this world was cruel. When anyone reached adulthood, they would obtain a Beast Taming Egg with a monster inside as their beast. Whether the Beast Taming Egg could hatch depended on their luck. As for Ye Fan, he was an unlucky fellow. The pet beast he had painstakingly hatched was a cute little sparrow with extremely low innate talent. It was only slightly better than a trashy beast and had no chance of evolving. Everyone knew that beasts with extremely low talent were the most useless. They wouldn¡¯t be of much help. Not to mention how difficult their evolution was. Even if they were lucky enough to evolve successfully, the strength they could unleash was minimal. Even the lowest-level pet was better than this. No matter what, it was simply a dream for a beast with extremely low talent to pass the assessment. ¡°It¡¯s one thing to transmigrate, but I didn¡¯t expect myself to be so unlucky here.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Su Li, who was sitting next to him, saw this and comforted him. ¡°It¡¯s fine. If you can¡¯t get in, so be it. It¡¯s not bad to work in a factory. At least you don¡¯t have to risk your life.¡± Su Li understood Ye Fan¡¯s situation very well. It was almost impossible for him to become an ordinary Beast Tamer, let alone getting into the three greatest academies, namely West Eagle, Red Sand, and Infinity. At this moment, a loud laugh came from beside him. ¡°Brother Kai, isn¡¯t your beast a high-level Rank-1 beast?¡± ¡°With the high-level Rank-1 Foul Rock Monster, he is definitely going to one of the three greatest academies.¡± ¡°Of course. Brother Kai is the best in our class.¡± ¡°Brother Kai, don¡¯t forget us even if you get into the three academies.¡± In the middle of the classroom, more than ten students surrounded Xu Kai. All kinds of flattery made Xu Kai happy. Su Li curled his lips sourly. ¡°Tsk, he just has a rich father who bought him a powerful beginner-level beast. What¡¯s there to be proud of?¡± The Xu family was a family of the best Beast Tamers. They had been very powerful Beast Tamers for generations. Therefore, when Xu Kai reached adulthood, the Xu family¡¯s ancestor specially chose the best beast for him. From the very beginning, there was a huge gap between him and ordinary people. Xu Kai had always looked down on ordinary students with his pet and family background. Ye Fan and Su Li couldn¡¯t help but be looked down upon by him. ¡°In my opinion, Chen Xin from Class Three next door is the best.¡± Su Li looked worried. ¡°Her pet is also a high-level Rank-1, but it¡¯s a Herculean Infant Dragon. As a dragon-type beast, in terms of combat strength and potential, it¡¯s top-notch. It¡¯s even stronger than Xu Kai¡¯s.¡± Ye Fan shrugged. Without saying a word, he turned and left. When he reached home, Ye Fan sat in the living room and immediately communicated with his pet. A blinding light lit up in front of him, and a Cute Sparrow immediately walked out of the void. ¡°After being kept for so long and fed with so many ingredients, it¡¯s still a low-level Rank-1 pet. No wonder everyone says it¡¯s a useless pet.¡± Ye Fan helplessly shook his head. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a thumb-sized Black Essence Crystal and handed it to the cute bird. This Black Essence Crystal was already all that he could afford. ¡°I hope you can successfully evolve after eating this Essence Crystal.¡± Ye Fan helplessly watched as the adorable bird swallowed the Black Essence Crystal. However, even after he waited for a long time, the adorable bird showed no signs of evolving. ¡°It still won¡¯t work?¡± Ye Fan was disappointed. Just as he was about to think of another way¡­ A mechanical electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind. ¡°Ding¡­ Your pet has successfully reached the advancement threshold. It can evolve now.¡± ¡°Please wait a moment. Your pet is evolving.¡± ¡°This is¡­ the system?¡± Ye Fan was startled for a moment before quickly reacting. Chapter 2 Evolution Method with Unlimited Potential Hidden evolution path! Ye Fan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was immediately overjoyed. After such a long time since the transmigration, the system had finally arrived. ¡°System activated.¡± Just as the voice died down, a panel appeared in front of Ye Fan. Name: Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: Low Level, Rank 1 Growth: 100% Talent: 0 Evolution Path: An evolutionary method with unlimited potential for the divine level. It can evolve to the king-level at most. ¡°This is¡­¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes almost popped out. Since he had signed a contract with the Cute Sparrow, he had read a lot of information about the Cute Sparrow. He knew much more about the Cute Sparrow than ordinary people. The Cute Sparrow could evolve into the ultimate form, Garuda. It was a high-level beast. This was simply the path of evolution. But Ye Fan had never heard about this before. It was a completely new path. ¡°Could it be a hidden evolutionary path?¡± Seeing ¡°divine level¡±, Ye Fan¡¯s breathing became somewhat hurried. The strength of pets was divided from Rank 1 to Rank 9. Rank 1 was the lowest, and Rank 9 was the highest. Each rank was divided into four levels: low, intermediate, high, and peak. As for the divine level, was that above the ninth rank? There were only a handful of divine-level pet beasts among humans. These people were all standing at the top of the pyramid. It was hard to imagine that a Cute Sparrow had the potential to evolve into a divine-level beast. If others knew about this, they would definitely think that he was bragging. ¡°This evolutionary system is too awesome!¡± Ye Fan was overjoyed. After calming himself down, Ye Fan was just about to see what the evolution requirements were when the system interface appeared. ¡°Benefits for beginners: It can evolve directly the first time.¡± No materials required? Ye Fan was delighted and chose to evolve without hesitation. The words on the panel flashed away. When they became clear again, they had changed a lot. Name: Rank 1 Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: High Level, Rank 1 Growth: 0% Talent: West Eagle¡¯s Eyes Skill: Elementary Flame Evolution Path: For Corporal Cute Sparrow, Growth needs to reach 100%, and three Dark Crystals and one special medal are required. Was it so easy to reach the high level of Rank 1? Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°This evolution method is simply amazing. It can reach the first rank in one evolution.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s heart shook. Cute Sparrow, no, now it was Corporal Cute Sparrow. Although the Cute Sparrow had evolved, its size did not change much. The only difference was that it looked a little bigger. Its aura had become stronger. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already evolved, you can¡¯t be called a Cute Sparrow, right?¡± Ye Fan looked at the Cute Sparrow and thought, ¡°I¡¯ll call you Golden Sparrow.¡± The Cute Sparrow was stunned. It opened and closed its jaw a few times, finally acknowledging the name. Ye Fan glanced at the evolution system and quickly found a new interface. Name: Ye Fan Grade: High Level, Rank 1 Soul Power: 100% Pet: Cute Sparrow Evolution: None The level of a Beast Tamer was tied to his pet¡¯s. Previously, Ye Fan had been a low-level Rank-1 Beast Tamer. However, after the Cute Sparrow evolved, his rank had also risen to high level of Rank 1. ¡°With this Golden Sparrow, entering an ordinary Beast Tamer Academy will definitely not be a problem. I can even try the three major academies.¡± Ye Fan was very happy in his heart. Compared to the previous situation, it was completely different now. This was all because of the system. ¡°Although I have the system, I can¡¯t be careless. Before the admission, I have to work hard to improve myself.¡± ¡°It would be even better if it could evolve again.¡± Ye Fan looked at the Golden Sparrow. Dark crystals were easy to obtain. They required a certain amount of money or could be obtained by killing monsters outside the city. Ye Fan could give up the thought of buying them. He had been a wanderer since he was born. His current daily expenses and tuition fees were sponsored by An City¡¯s government. Over the years, he had been saving up money. One low-level Dark Crystal had already cost him half of his money. He didn¡¯t have that much money to buy more Dark Crystals. The only thing he could do now was to kill the monsters. ¡°It¡¯s not bad. I¡¯ll let the Golden Sparrow familiarize itself with its combat strength.¡± Pets could devour a large number of resources in battle and obtain more growth value. When its growth progress reached 100%, it would complete its evolution and reach a new level. Next, he would collect enough evolution resources to let his pet reach a higher level. Ordinary people would not be able to see this progress. Only the evolutionary system could see it. In reality, he could only rely on his experience and professional equipment to make a judgment. Ye Fan took out his smart phone and searched the Internet. He found a place that was most suitable for novice Beast Tamers to kill monsters. Soon, he headed to this place, the Ancient Battlefield. This was north of An City. There were many monsters here, and it was the best place to kill them. ¡°I remember that the Ancient Badge was found here.¡± Ye Fan recalled and confirmed this place. His first stop was here. Chapter 3 Did You Come Here to Temper Yourself? No one knew the origin of the Ancient Battlefield. Similar to the places where monsters had appeared in various parts of the world, there were countless monsters wandering here. Even under the encirclement of countless Beast Tamers, these monsters showed no signs of decreasing. Roughly thirty minutes later, Ye Fan directly entered the Ancient Battlefield. He raised his head. A thin mist hung over a vast field. Figures could be seen wandering there. These were the demons that roamed the land, namely the Mummified Corpses. They were intermediate Rank-1 demons, and the best targets for now. ¡°Ding¡­ New mission received.¡± ¡± First Victory . Killed 10 Mummified Corpses. Reward: 100 evolution points.¡± Just as Ye Fan was about to enter, the system¡¯s electronic voice rang out in his mind. My new mission? Ye Fan was startled. As for evolution points? After flipping through the guide, Ye Fan finally understood. Those points could allow pets to evolve. They could also be used to unlock a pet¡¯s talent and abilities. ¡°This evolutionary system really isn¡¯t bad.¡± Ye Fan faintly smiled. The stronger the evolution system, the more he would benefit. Just as he was thinking this, a startled voice rang out from behind him. ¡°Ye Fan?¡± Chen Xin had come to the Ancient Battlefield to train her pet. It was almost the day of admission. She would rather gain as much strength as possible. Although with her ability, she would definitely be able to enter West Eagle Academy, her goal was not only to enter the academy, but also pass the academy¡¯s group assessment. Chen Xin was determined to get good results. Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Xin walked into the Ancient Battlefield, she saw a familiar face. ¡°Ye Fan?¡± What was he doing here? Chen Xin was startled. Ye Fan wasn¡¯t very famous in school. The only reason she remembered him was because he was very handsome. Just like how most men were attracted to beautiful women, in reality, women liked handsome men too. Thus, Chen Xin had some understanding of Ye Fan¡¯s matters. After learning that Ye Fan¡¯s first pet beast was actually a Cute Sparrow, she felt a bit regretful. ¡°This is really strange. The Cute Sparrow is just a low-level Rank-1, while the mummies here are at least intermediate Rank-1. What is Ye Fan doing here?¡± Chen Xin was puzzled. To Ye Fan, this Ancient Battlefield was simply too dangerous. It wasn¡¯t suitable for him to come. Ye Fan turned around and saw a girl with delicate features looking at him in shock. He recognized the newcomer immediately. ¡°Chen Xin.¡± She was the most promising pet trainer in the academy. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Ye Fan casually greeted her. Chen Xin nodded at him and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Did you come here to train yourself?¡± Ye Fan looked at her with a strange gaze, not saying anything. The people who came here were all here to train themselves. Could it be that they were here to enjoy the scenery? This child didn¡¯t seem very smart. Chen Xin realized that she had asked a stupid question. ¡°In this Ancient Battlefield, there are a lot of intermediate Rank-1 mummies. This is not an easy task.¡± Ye Fan was startled for a moment before suddenly understanding. Chen Xin had seen through his situation and was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with the Mummified Corpses in the Ancient Battlefield. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, but he didn¡¯t explain. ¡°I know.¡± Saying this, he headed towards the Ancient Battlefield. Seeing this, Chen Xin immediately became flustered and exasperated. This fellow really wasn¡¯t obedient at all. In this Ancient Battlefield, the Cute Sparrow couldn¡¯t kill the weakest Mummified Corpse. If they really did encounter Mummified Corpses, the Cute Sparrow would probably be quickly killed. Even Ye Fan¡¯s life might be in danger. ¡°How stupid!¡± Chen Xin gritted her teeth. After hesitating for a moment, she stomped her feet and followed him out. After all, they were from the same school. She couldn¡¯t leave him in the lurch. Chen Xin made up her mind. Once Ye Fan was defeated by the mummies and understood the situation, she would take action and persuade him to leave. On the other side, as soon as Ye Fan entered the Ancient Battlefield, he summoned the Golden Sparrow. The man and his pet strolled through this desolate wilderness. They were in the middle of a mist. Ye Fan¡¯s first opponent was a Mummified Corpse. The Mummified Corpses looked like zombies, but they were mostly elite. Their bodies were withered. They wore worn leather armor and held rusty swords. Seeing the enemy, the Golden Sparrow took the initiative to step forward and immediately released flames. The flames immediately burned. The Golden Sparrow, who had mastered flames, was clearly more agile and powerful than the Mummified Corpses. Moreover, it was a level stronger than its enemy. The flames spread to the Mummified Corpses. Xiu! Their dry arms were instantly burned to ashes. The Mummified Corpses took a few steps back. Before they could catch their breath, they had been completely burned by the flames. Chen Xin had just arrived when she saw this scene. She froze. Chapter 4 Mission Completed Easily What¡¯s going on? Chen Xin was dumbfounded. Am I seeing things? This low-level Rank-1 Cute Sparrow¡­ could actually kill Mummified Corpses above its level? Moreover, it was so simple! Chen Xin was dumbfounded for a long time. It was not uncommon to challenge enemies of a higher level. Many talented pets could do this. However, it was unbelievable for this scene to happen to a Cute Sparrow. Everyone knew that the Cute Sparrow had no talent or skills. Otherwise, how could it be a low-level pet? Even if it fought a monster of the same level, the Cute Sparrow would find it difficult to defeat it, let alone Mummified Corpses of a higher level. If Chen Xin hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn¡¯t have believed it. ¡°No wonder he dared to come here.¡± Chen Xin stared blankly at Ye Fan, an awkward expression appearing on her face. She had been complaining that Ye Fan was too impulsive. It turned out that she had underestimated him. But¡­ How did Ye Fan raise the Cute Sparrow? Chen Xin couldn¡¯t understand. Ye Fan also saw Chen Xin standing behind him. He did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he focused on the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attributes. When the Golden Sparrow killed a Mummified Corpse, its growth progress immediately increased from zero to one percent. ¡°That¡¯s about right¡­ if that¡¯s the case, a hundred Mummified Corpses should be able to let it reach 100%.¡± A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Fan¡¯s face. He felt that the speed was acceptable. Under normal circumstances, ordinary pets would not have such an improvement. From zero to perfection, it would normally take a few months. It was absolutely impossible to break through to the evolution threshold after killing hundreds of Mummified Corpses like the Golden Sparrow. Ye Fan guessed that this should be the benefit of the evolution system. After calming himself down, Ye Fan and the Golden Sparrow continued to search for the Mummified Corpses. With a clear goal in mind, his fighting spirit was also high. He was prepared to finish this matter as soon as possible. Out of curiosity, Chen Xin followed them. She had completely forgotten that she had come here to gain experience. Right now, all she could think about was why Ye Fan¡¯s Cute Sparrow was so powerful. Another Mummified Corpse quickly appeared and was burned by the Golden Sparrow¡¯s flames. Then came the third. The fourth. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength was far above the Mummified Corpses, and the pets would never feel tired. Therefore, even after killing the ninth Mummified Corpse, the Golden Sparrow only had a few wounds on its body. It was not too badly injured and was still lively. After killing these corpses, Ye Fan found two low-grade Dark Crystals. Dark crystals were their source of energy. The stronger the monster, the more likely it was to have Dark Crystals. An intermediate Rank-1 monster like the Mummified Corpse was unlikely to have a second Dark Crystal. Killing nine of them and obtaining two Dark Crystals was already very lucky. ¡°One more.¡± Ye Fan put the Dark Crystal into his bag before continuing deeper into the Ancient Battlefield. Chen Xin was at a loss. Along the way, she had seen with her own eyes how one Mummified Corpse after another was easily killed by the Golden Sparrow. Her expression had gone from shock to confusion. Chen Xin could tell at a glance that Ye Fan¡¯s pet was at least a high-level Rank-1. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill these Mummified Corpses so easily. And from the movements of this Cute Sparrow, it must also know some basic flame attacks. Chen Xin came from a family of Beast Tamers, so her horizons were naturally much broader. She believed that she wouldn¡¯t be mistaken. This shocked her even more. Even Beast Tamers couldn¡¯t nurture such a powerful Cute Sparrow. After all, it was impossible to do anything without sufficient resources. The Cute Sparrow was clearly just a little better than a useless pet, but now, it was as if it had a cheat. Just how did Ye Fan do it? Chen Xin stared unblinkingly at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion. Plop! The moment the Mummified Corpse fell to the ground and died, a familiar voice echoed in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. ¡°Ding¡­ Completed the first battle. Reward: 100 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan opened his system interface and found that his attributes had already changed. A new notification appeared on Golden Sparrow¡¯s talent and skill panels. Unlocked Talents Wings: Speed increases, defense increases, can be unlocked with 50 evolution points. Rebirth: Keeps the Soul Fire from extinguishing. Quickly heals injured limbs. Can be unlocked with 100 evolution points. The Skill Panel was the same. Unlocked Skills Raging Inferno: Upgrades flames. Can be unlocked with 50 evolution points. Wind Blade: A full-strength attack with wind. Increases attack power. Can be unlocked with 50 evolution points. Chapter 5 Killing the Mummified Corpse Boss Looking at the introduction on the interface, Ye Fan immediately became excited. Generally speaking, there were two ways for pets to have new abilities and talents. The first was to slowly learn through long-term training with a clear target. The second was sudden enlightenment during an intense battle. Both ways required luck. However, in the evolution system, when one obtained evolution points, one¡¯s pet could obtain new abilities and talents. If news of this spread, who knew how many people would be scared to death? ¡°Awesome!¡± Ye Fan suppressed the shock in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he activated Wings and Raging Inferno . Immediately, the data in front of him changed. Name: Rank 1 Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: High Level, Rank 1 Growth: 10% Talent: West Eagle¡¯s Eyes, Wings Skill: Elementary Flame Evolution Path: For the next stage, the Cute Sparrow needs 100% growth, 1 glory medal, 3 low-level Dark Crystals. Ye Fan lightly nodded. With the Golden Sparrow¡¯s current strength, it would not have any fear when facing a peak Rank-1 monster. ¡°Let¡¯s go deeper.¡± Only monsters above the boss level would yield a Glory Badge. If he only wandered around the edge of the Ancient Battlefield and killed Mummified Corpse, it would be almost impossible to obtain a Glory Badge. Ye Fan decisively turned around and continued deeper into the Ancient Battlefield. Seeing this, Chen Xin was slightly stunned. The Ancient Battlefield was a place for rookies to train, but this was only the outermost area. Further ahead were the boss-level monsters, which was not something ordinary Beast Tamers could deal with. Ye Fan¡¯s pet wasn¡¯t their match even if it was a high-level Rank-1. Once they met, it would be troublesome. ¡°What is he doing?¡± Chen Xin wanted to stop Ye Fan, but he had already left. After hesitating for a few seconds, she stomped her feet. ¡°Am I crazy? Why am I as impulsive as that person?¡± That said, she didn¡¯t slow down. Instead, she picked up her pace. The deeper they went, the more frequently Ye Fan encountered Mummified Corpses. But the battle was becoming easier and easier. The Golden Sparrow, who had mastered fire, could deal with these Mummified Corpses easily. After every battle, a huge head would fly into the sky. The headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground. On the other hand, the dry corpses could not resist the flames at all. Complete victory! When Chen Xin saw this scene, her mouth almost couldn¡¯t close. ¡°W-what¡¯s going on? How did his pet suddenly become so strong?¡± Chen Xin felt that her world view had been greatly impacted. How could a useless Cute Sparrow be so strong? Could it be¡­ that Ye Fan was a Beast Taming Grandmaster? Chen Xin was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. At this moment, a voice rang out from beside her. Chen Xin turned around and saw her pet, the Herculean Infant Dragon, digging the ground with its claws. Head to the left. It kept letting out a warning roar. Chen Xin instantly came back to her senses and looked over warily. A burly figure with a cold face slowly walked out of the fog. His tall figure gave off a strong sense of oppression. He was wearing thick and ancient leather armor, and holding a long sword that emitted a cold light. This monster that suddenly appeared gave off a terrifying pressure. ¡°Mummified Corpse Boss!¡± Chen Xin¡¯s expression changed drastically, her face filled with bitterness. Her worst fear had come true. ¡°We¡¯re screwed.¡± A bitter smile appeared on Chen Xin¡¯s face. On the other hand, Ye Fan was completely calm, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. This Mummified Corpse Boss definitely had an ancient Glory Badge on it, as well as a low-grade Dark Crystal. As long as he killed it, he would be able to gather enough materials to evolve the Golden Sparrow. Just as he was shocked, Chen Xin had already silently walked over to Ye Fan¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯ll hold him back. Run!¡± This mummy was a peak Rank-1 existence. Her Herculean Infant Dragon and Ye Fan¡¯s strange Golden Sparrow weren¡¯t his opponents at all. Staying here would only lead to death. Only by having a pet restrain this mummy would the remaining people have a chance to escape. And to Chen Xin, her Herculean Infant Dragon was clearly stronger than the Cute Sparrow. It had to be known that dragon-type pets were the strongest existences within the same realm. Thus, the one that should be left behind was the Herculean Infant Dragon. Ye Fan looked at Chen Xin in astonishment. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. ¡°Ding¡­ New mission received.¡± ¡± Kill Mummified Corpse Boss : Kill the boss-level monster. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with this Mummified Corpse. You can leave.¡± Without waiting for Chen Xin¡¯s reply, he ordered the Golden Sparrow to charge forward. Seeing that its prey had taken the initiative to attack, the Mummified Corpse Boss was furious. It shouted and slashed down with the longsword in its hand. The Golden Sparrow was not afraid at all and directly released flames. Whoosh! The flames hit the other party directly. It kept burning the Mummified Corpse Boss¡¯s armor, and soon blackened it. On the other side, the Mummified Corpse Boss was in unbearable pain under the fire. It rolled back and forth on the ground, but the flames couldn¡¯t be extinguished. Chen Xin was dumbfounded. Chapter 6 Increase in the Strength of Pets ¡°Oh my God¡­¡± Chen Xin blinked hard and repeated several times. Finally, she confirmed that she was not mistaken. This Cute Sparrow¡­ could make the Mummified Corpse Boss suffer in flames. Moreover, the Cute Sparrow was completely fine. What the hell was going on? Was this still that Cute Sparrow? Chen Xin¡¯s mind was in a mess and she couldn¡¯t think at all. Ah! Ah! A painful scream resounded throughout the battlefield. The Golden Sparrow released flames again. The Golden Sparrow had no emotions. It attacked the enemy crazily. In an instant, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s figure attacked the Mummified Corpse Boss again and again. At this moment, it vividly displayed the power of Wings . The Mummified Corpse Boss was helpless. Golden Sparrow¡¯s flames left black wounds on the Mummified Corpse Boss. In the blink of an eye, the flames continued to burn the Mummified Corpse Boss, quickly reducing it to ashes. There was no longer any suspense in this battle. Even Chen Xin could see that the Mummified Corpse was at the end of its rope. As expected. Two minutes later, the Mummified Corpse Boss was unable to endure the flames and was burned to death. Puff! However, the flames continued to burn on the remains of the Mummified Corpse Boss. ¡°Ding¡­ Mission completed. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s heart was filled with joy. Suppressing the urge to immediately check the interface, he ordered the Golden Sparrow to cut open the Mummified Corpse commander¡¯s head. He found a low-grade dark crystal. Apart from that, he also found an ancient badge the size of a coin. It was an ancient badge of glory. ¡°In that case, we¡¯ve gathered enough evolutionary resources.¡± Ye Fan sighed in relief and opened the interface. After killing the Mummified Corpse Boss, his growth had increased to 12%. Coupled with the battle just now, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth had already reached 30%. ¡°There are only four days left until the enrollment day of the various academies.¡± Ye Fan silently nodded, then opened his own skills. He used 150 evolution points to activate both Rebirth and Wind Blade abilities. ¡°Speaking of which, this evolution point seems able to increase the progress of growth.¡± Ye Fan thought for a moment, then put an evolution point into his growth. In the blink of an eye, it increased to 33%. ¡°One evolution point is one growth point?¡± Thinking about it, Ye Fan gave up on investing his evolution points. After all, he could increase growth by hunting monsters. It was not worth it to spend the evolution points on it. It was better to wait. Closing the system, Ye Fan raised his head and saw Chen Xin looking at him with a blank expression. ¡°Are you all right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Chen Xin quickly shook her head, but the shock on her face couldn¡¯t be concealed. She had never imagined that Ye Fan would actually kill the Mummified Corpse Boss at the last moment. This was a peak Rank-1 existence. Chen Xin asked herself. If it was her, it would be good enough if she could escape from the Mummified Corpse Boss, let alone kill it. ¡°It seems everyone has misunderstood. Ye Fan¡¯s pet isn¡¯t trash.¡± Chen Xin glanced at the Golden Sparrow. She was sure it wasn¡¯t a Cute Sparrow, but some kind of pet that looked like one. However, with her experience, she couldn¡¯t tell what kind of pet it was. Ye Fan naturally understood what Chen Xin was thinking, but he didn¡¯t plan on saying too much. Hearing this, he nodded slightly, then turned around and left. What he needed to do now was to kill the Mummified Corpses. It would be best if he could find that Mummified Corpse commander again. The evolution points of a Mummified Corpse boss were more than those of ten Mummified Corpses. Chen Xin didn¡¯t follow him. Instead, she looked at Ye Fan before turning to leave. She wasn¡¯t a monster like Ye Fan, so she could only cultivate outside. During this period of time, Ye Fan had focused on killing monsters. Although he hadn¡¯t encountered any Mummified Corpse Bosses, in this Ancient Battlefield, the large number of Mummified Corpses allowed the Golden Sparrow¡¯s proficiency to continuously increase. Four days later, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth progress was already full, meaning it could evolve. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate and directly chose to evolve. In the hall. Dazzling light enveloped Golden Sparrow. When the light dissipated, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s figure was revealed. The bones in its entire body were faintly glowing with a metallic luster, giving off an extremely terrifying feeling. Name: Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: Low Level, Rank 2 Growth: 0% Talent: West Eagle¡¯s Eyes, Wings Skill: Elementary Flame Evolution Path: 100% growth, 1 medal, 10 low-level Dark Crystals. Ye Fan took a deep breath, a hint of joy appearing on his face. The evolution this time didn¡¯t disappoint him. With Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to kill a high-level Rank-1 monster. In the school, and even in the other schools in An City, there had never been a Rank-2 pet. Ye Fan¡¯s current strength could be said to be unparalleled among all the students of the school. Chapter 7 Enrollment Begins Calming himself down, Ye Fan looked at his talent and skills. In the process of leveling up, there was a new option. Unlocked Talents Brutal Force : Increase in strength. Requires 100 evolution points to unlock. Low-level Elemental Resistance : Increases resistance and reduces a certain degree of attack. It can be divided into fire, water, wind, thunder, wood, earth, light, and darkness. Each attribute requires 100 evolution points. Unlocked Skills Ghost Summoning : Summons low-level beasts. You can summon beasts two levels lower than you. You need 100 evolution points to unlock it. There were many new talents and abilities. Low-level Elemental Resistance could be divided into nine types. Ye Fan was extremely yearning, but he only had 49 evolution points, which were not enough to unlock his talents and abilities. ¡°I don¡¯t know when the next mission will come.¡± Ye Fan helplessly sighed and closed the system interface. He stood up and walked out of the city. During this time, he decided to kill more Mummified Corpses in the Ancient Battlefield to increase Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth. Time passed. Four days later. Today was the day of the enrollment of the various academies. Early in the morning. The central square of An City was already packed with people. As far as the eye could see, the crowd was bustling with activity. Young students who had come to apply were everywhere. ¡°What should we do? I¡¯m so nervous!¡± ¡°Me too. If I can¡¯t get into a Beast Taming Academy, I¡¯ll be eliminated.¡± ¡°Which academy are you going to?¡± ¡°The three best academies definitely won¡¯t do. The other Beast Taming academies are all the same. I¡¯ll just choose any one.¡± ¡°Yes, it would be great if an academy was willing to recruit me.¡± The students gathered in groups of twos and threes, discussing nervously. There was no doubt that today was an important day. After passing this stage and entering a Beast Taming Academy, their future would be bright. If not, they would become ordinary people, graduating from an ordinary academy and finding a normal job, living the rest of their lives peacefully. It was a huge gap. No wonder the students were so nervous. Ye Fan looked at the people around him and sighed in his heart. If not for the existence of the system, he might very well have been one of them, or even worse. It had to be known that with his strength back then, entering the Beast Taming Academy was practically impossible. Since he didn¡¯t have any expectations, there was nothing to worry about. But now, things were different. With Ye Fan¡¯s low-level Rank-2 strength, entering one of the three great academies wasn¡¯t a problem, let alone an ordinary Beast Taming Academy. Ye Fan looked around, pondering. Around the square, there were more than ten huge wooden houses. A long table was placed neatly in front of each of them. Staff members in academy uniforms of different colors were busy. These were the enrollment venues of the Beast Taming Academies. If you wanted to apply, you could line up at the place of your favorite Beast Taming Academy. Now, there were more than twenty minutes before the exam. There was a long line in front of each enrollment venue. One had to know that in An City, the three academies, West Eagle, Red Sand, and Infinity, were the best Beast Taming Academies. However, their applicants were the fewest. This was because most of the students knew very well that with their talent and ability, they could not meet the strict requirements of the three academies. Of course, they wouldn¡¯t waste time here. Ye Fan glanced at the other Beast Taming Academies, then at the three great academies. The majority of the people in the Infinity Academy¡¯s line were girls, who were full of youthfulness, making them pleasing to the eye. Quite a few boys couldn¡¯t help but look over. Ye Fan only took a glance before looking away. The Infinity Academy was the most popular Beast Taming Academy for girls. It was said that their dean was an extremely powerful female Beast Tamer. Although this academy wasn¡¯t bad, it didn¡¯t meet Ye Fan¡¯s requirements. Ye Fan thought about it and decided to go to the West Eagle Academy. At this time, someone patted his shoulder. ¡°Ye Fan.¡± This voice was somewhat familiar. Ye Fan turned around and saw Su Li. ¡°You¡¯re here too.¡± Su Li glanced at Ye Fan, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. It was almost impossible for Ye Fan to enter a Beast Taming Academy. Now that he had come, it meant that he hadn¡¯t given up and was still putting his life on the line. Su Li could only hope that after he lost the competition, he wouldn¡¯t be too sad. Ye Fan didn¡¯t know what Su Li was thinking, so he just smiled and greeted him. Su Li pointed. ¡°I want to get into the Shanmi Academy.¡± Shanmi Academy was one of the schools with lower rankings. ¡°Which academy are you going to? New River? Or Seven Stars?¡± New River and Seven Stars were the two academies that were the easiest to get in. In Su Li¡¯s opinion, if Ye Fan wanted to give it a try, he would most likely choose these two academies. ¡°West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°The Seven Stars Academy is not bad¡­ Wait, what are you talking about?¡± Su Li came back to his senses and looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan shrugged. ¡°I want to apply to the West Eagle Academy.¡± Chapter 8 Talent Assessment! ¡°Ha¡­ haha, I didn¡¯t know that you were so good at telling jokes.¡± Su Li was startled, but he immediately reacted and smiled. He thought Ye Fan was joking. Ye Fan helplessly shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡± Su Li was completely dumbfounded. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. Those who could enter the three best academies were all students of high levels. They had to have at least an intermediate Rank-1 pet. As for Ye Fan¡­ His pet was only at the lower level of the first rank. It was only a little better than a useless pet. Not to mention the three best academies, even an ordinary Beast Taming Academy might not take him in. With his strength, how could he go to West Eagle Academy? Wasn¡¯t he too bold? At this moment, Su Li was speechless. ¡°Chi.¡± At this moment, a cold laugh sounded from the side. Ye Fan and Su Li turned around and saw Xu Kai looking at them with disdain. ¡°West Eagle Academy? You want to go to the West Eagle Academy with your useless pet? What a joke.¡± Xu Kai naturally heard it clearly. His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Ye Fan. ¡°People need to know their own limits. If you don¡¯t have this ability, then don¡¯t embarrass yourself here.¡± ¡°Why do you care?¡± Hearing this, Su Li flew into a rage and glared at him. Xu Kai curled his lips, mockingly glancing at Ye Fan before sneering and turning to leave. ¡°Pfft, who do you think you are!¡± Su Li spat on the ground. Shortly after, he turned to look at Ye Fan, wanting to say something, but hesitated. ¡°Ye Fan, why don¡¯t you apply to another academy?¡± Although Xu Kai¡¯s ridicule was infuriating, it had to be said that what he said made some sense. With Ye Fan¡¯s ability, he had no chance of entering the West Eagle Academy. If it was an ordinary pet academy, there was still a chance. Ye Fan patted Su Li¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± Su Li hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he sighed and didn¡¯t say anything else. The registration was about to begin, so the two of them parted ways. Ye Fan stopped at the very back. What surprised him was that other than Xu Kai, there was also Chen Xin. Seeing Ye Fan, Chen Xin sweetly smiled and waved her hand. Ye Fan nodded back and glanced at the long table at the far end of the group. A crystal ball the size of a human head was placed on the rectangular table. This was a special detector used to test one¡¯s soul power. It was a device specialized in testing a Beast Tamer¡¯s talent. As long as one signed a contract with a pet, they could awaken soul power. Soul power was a must-have for Beast Tamers, and it was also the energy to sustain the pet. In a sense, how many pets a Beast Tamer could contract depended on his soul power. With enough soul power, he could carry more pets. The amount of soul power depended on the size of the soul. Every Beast Tamer had their own Soul River. The connection between it and soul power was like a river and the water in it. The bigger the river, the more water there was in it. The size of the Soul River was natural. Unless there was some extremely rare heavenly treasure, it was impossible to improve it through cultivation. To a certain extent, the Soul River was a talent, and also a Beast Tamer¡¯s potential. According to the size of the Soul River, it could be divided into five levels. The first rank was the lowest, and the fifth rank was the highest. Those in the first rank were only slightly more talented than the average person, but it was almost impossible for them to become a Rank-2. This was also the reason why no academy accepted them. With Rank-2 talent, the possibility of becoming a Rank-2 Beast Tamer was very high. If such a student could get an intermediate pet, he could enter an ordinary academy. The three best academies recruited students above the third rank. Just as Ye Fan was thinking this, he saw that the test had already begun. Everyone stepped forward in unison and placed their palms on the crystal ball. The moment their palms touched the crystal ball, a silver liquid immediately surged out of the crystal ball. The silver liquid in the crystal ball was the indicator of talent. One-fifth was Rank 1. Two-fifths was Rank 2. Three-fifths was Rank 3. ¡­ In fact, there were people with talent that exceeded Rank 5. But there was no technology to measure that yet. Soon, the test was completed. On average, a person could get a result in a minute. Most of them were first or second rank talents and had been eliminated. Those who could meet this requirement were all third-rank geniuses. Even so, those who had passed the first round of the test were all overjoyed, their eyes filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. At this moment, the crowd immediately exploded. ¡°Rank 5?!¡± ¡°Yeah, the crystal ball is full of silver liquid.¡± ¡°This is too awesome. Who is this person?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Chen Xin is said to be the number one genius in No.1 Middle School.¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze focused on the girl standing by the long table. Even the examiner nodded at her gently. ¡°Very good. You¡¯ve reached Rank 5.¡± Chen Xin smiled and nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± She was not surprised to pass the aptitude test. The assessment continued. Then, two Rank 4 students appeared, including Xu Kai. Soon¡­ Next was Ye Fan¡¯s test. The examiner raised his head and said indifferently, ¡°Put your hands on it and feel it with your heart.¡± Chapter 9 Too Unexpected! ¡°Even if you¡¯ve reached the third rank, you still need one-third of the silver liquid.¡± The examiner explained the rules as usual. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Ye Fan nodded and pressed his hands on the crystal ball. He also felt a bit uneasy. Although he had the evolution system and was at the second rank, he didn¡¯t dare say that his talent would definitely reach the third rank. But thinking about it now was useless. Ye Fan forced himself to focus on the test. A hundred meters away, Chen Xin didn¡¯t leave. She just stood there, watching Ye Fan¡¯s test. She was very curious about Ye Fan¡¯s talent. Soon¡­ A stream of silver liquid gushed out from the bottom of the crystal ball. And it was growing at an astonishing speed. One-fifth. Two-fifths. ¡°Rank 3, pass!¡± A student standing at the front couldn¡¯t help but shout when he saw this scene. ¡°Wait, the amount of silver liquid is increasing. He has already exceeded Rank 3!¡± Another student shouted. Only then did Ye Fan relax. No matter what, he had finally passed the first test. However, the amount of silver liquid was still increasing. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through four-fifths. ¡°Rank 4!¡± He muttered to himself. Exclamations rang out once more. This time, the examiner also couldn¡¯t help but cast his gaze towards Ye Fan, the coldness on his face slightly alleviating. Rank-4 talent was extremely outstanding even in the three great academies. This was a good opportunity. This scene immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the silver liquid quickly filled the crystal ball. ¡°Rank 5!¡± Many people gasped. Rank 5 again. That examiner smiled in delight. In previous years, it was already very impressive to have one Rank-5 student. This year, there were actually two. How lucky was this? ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± Just as he sighed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The silver liquid in the crystal ball was still increasing. However, because it was filled, the color of the liquid became deeper and thicker. After a while. Snap. A crack suddenly appeared on the crystal ball. Under everyone¡¯s incredulous gazes, this crack was actually spreading continuously. Immediately after, the crystal ball exploded. Countless glass shards and silver liquid splattered everywhere. Silence. Dead silence. Even the examiner was stunned. No wonder they were so surprised. They had never heard of such a situation. He had never known a student who could blow up the Soul River Detector during the test. What kind of terrifying talent was this? If they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have dared to believe that it was true. ¡°Pfft.¡± After a long while, the sound of swallowing reverberated in this silence. After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and immediately burst into an uproar. ¡°Damn, what an eye-opener today!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, what kind of talent is this? The detector actually failed to measure it.¡± ¡°A fierce person.¡± ¡°How awesome!¡± The examiner also reacted. He looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression and slowly nodded. ¡°You¡¯re qualified.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Ye Fan also hadn¡¯t expected such a thing to happen. He could only say thank you and then walk to the side. There were already over ten people sitting in the waiting area. Seeing Ye Fan, they quickly went up to him, their faces full of smiles. ¡°Brother Ye, congratulations.¡± ¡°Brother Ye¡¯s future is limitless. Please take care of me.¡± ¡°Brother Ye, let¡¯s go eat after the assessment.¡± More than ten people surrounded Ye Fan, their voices filled with flattery and intimacy. This was also human nature. The strong were respected, and the strong preyed on the weak. This was an unchanging truth. It was the same in the circle of Beast Tamers. Ye Fan¡¯s innate talent had already surpassed the fifth rank. His future accomplishments would definitely not be limited to the fifth rank. They had to quickly befriend this kind of person. If Ye Fan could help them in the future, that would be an enormous opportunity. Over a hundred meters away, Chen Xin was also staring at Ye Fan, her beautiful eyes flickering with a strange light. She knew that Ye Fan¡¯s talent was very high, but this time, his result had exceeded her expectations. He was extremely talented and powerful. Ye Fan gave off a very mysterious feeling. At this moment, Chen Xin found him even more unpredictable. At the corner, Xu Kai¡¯s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot. He had never imagined that Ye Fan¡¯s talent would be so outstanding that even the testing device was unable to withstand it. On the other hand, just a moment ago, he had been gloating over his fourth rank talent, but now it seemed that he was so insignificant. Thinking back to how he had mocked Ye Fan, Xu Kai felt his face heat up. This slap came too suddenly. This scene caught everyone off guard. Chapter 10 The Test Is Actual Combat! Thirty minutes later. The talent assessment had been completed. The examiner led the qualified students out of the wooden house and into an open field. At this moment, there were already five or six people standing in the square. Two of them were in their forties and dressed like teachers from West Eagle Academy. The rest of them were in their twenties and were wearing West Eagle Academy uniforms. ¡°I¡¯m Ding Shengxin from the West Eagle Academy. This is Qin Feng.¡± After everyone stood properly, a middle-aged man walked out and introduced another person to them. ¡°First of all, congratulations on passing the test.¡± ¡°But the next test is even more important.¡± Ding Shengxin glanced at the surrounding students. When he passed by Ye Fan, his voice suddenly stopped. ¡°Even if you can successfully pass this assessment, your performance in the test will decide the class you will be assigned to. I hope that you can do your best.¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions became solemn, and the air became heavy. The examiner looked at this scene and nodded slightly, waving his hand. ¡°Liu Feng, you¡¯ll take it from here.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± A thin youth stepped forward with a faint smile on his face. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯ll be in charge of the assessment.¡± As he spoke, a light flickered on his body. A figure covered in a black cloak walked out from the hood. ¡°Grave Wizard!¡± Someone shouted. This was a pet at the peak of the second rank. It was a rare mage-type pet. As soon as he appeared, the Grave Wizard waved his bone staff. A strange magic fluctuation immediately spread around him. With a flash of light, ten ferocious-looking mummies appeared out of thin air. ¡°This is the real test,¡± Liu Feng said, pointing at the mummies. ¡°Summon your pets and fight the mummies. The number of mummies you kill will be your points.¡± ¡°Those who kill less than ten will be disqualified.¡± ¡°The top twenty will be assigned to Class A, which will be given the best resources.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people were in an uproar. ¡°Why are there so many mummies?¡± ¡°This is too difficult.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over. I can¡¯t get through this.¡± The mummies were low-level monsters and did not have much power. However, there were too many of them. Even an intermediate Rank-1 would find it difficult to deal with ten mummies attacking at the same time. ¡°Alright, now, we¡¯ll carry out the assessment according to the order of the first round,¡± Liu Feng said. When a student heard this, he mustered his courage and walked out of the crowd, summoning his pet. The development of the matter was within his expectations. Next was the combat assessment. Pets below the first rank would be eliminated directly. Only seven or eight out of ten people could pass. Especially those who had high-level Rank-1 pets, they were even more eye-catching. Xu Kai was among them. His kill count was twenty-three. Xu Kai got off the stage and arrogantly looked at Ye Fan. So what if he was talented? In the end, he still had to rely on his pet. Ye Fan, with that useless Cute Sparrow, probably wasn¡¯t a match for one mummy. To pass the test was practically impossible. Ye Fan didn¡¯t pay attention to his gaze, completely focused on the test. Not long after Xu Kai left, Chen Xin also came. This young girl¡¯s Herculean Infant Dragon was indeed a pet of the dragon race. It was definitely a top existence among those of the same level. It was not until she killed thirty-three mummies that she left the battlefield, exhausted. Chen Xin¡¯s performance was already outstanding this year. ¡°This girl did a good job.¡± Instructor Qin Feng watched from the side and nodded slightly. ¡°The Chen family lives up to their reputation.¡± Ding Shengxin also agreed. He smiled and said, ¡°Chen Xin¡¯s talent is at Rank 5. It¡¯s already very good, but there¡¯s someone better.¡± Ding Shengxin had already received the assessment report, but Qin Feng had not. This surprised him. ¡°Who is it?¡± a voice asked. Ding Shengxin pointed at Ye Fan. ¡°It¡¯s that Ye Fan from No.1 Middle School. During the talent test¡­ he blew up the testing device.¡± Qin Feng was stunned. ¡°¡­What do you mean?¡± ¡°The testing equipment couldn¡¯t withstand it and exploded.¡± Qin Feng gasped. If not for the fact that Ding Shengxin never lied, he would have suspected that it was a joke. What kind of talent did he have that even the testing equipment could not withstand it? So terrifying. ¡°Looks like our academy is going to receive a super genius this year.¡± Qin Feng could not help but sigh. Ding Shengxin smiled and nodded. With Ye Fan¡¯s innate talent, if his pet wasn¡¯t too weak, entering the West Eagle Academy was a sure thing. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely become a resplendent new star. As the two of them spoke, Ye Fan had already begun his battle assessment. His performance in the talent assessment was breathtaking. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present. Under everyone¡¯s curious gazes¡­ Ye Fan slowly waved his hand, and a Cute Sparrow appeared in front of him. Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin were stunned. They were almost speechless. Damn!? What the hell was this? Chapter 11 The Cute Sparrow Is So Strong?! ¡°This is¡­ a Cute Sparrow?¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s lips moved, and he looked dumbfounded. With such outstanding talent, he only had one Cute Sparrow. This Cute Sparrow was only slightly better than a useless pet. Seriously? Qin Feng was also stunned and did not react for a long time. The surrounding students were in an uproar. ¡°Are you serious? ¡°This is an ordinary pet!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, he has such an abnormal talent, but he only has one Cute Sparrow.¡± ¡°Looks like Ye Fan won¡¯t be able to pass the test.¡± Many people sighed. Even one mummy was enough to beat it, let alone ten. The outcome of this assessment was already decided. Qin Feng sighed. He wasn¡¯t afraid that Ye Fan wouldn¡¯t pass the test. With Ye Fan¡¯s talent, even if he couldn¡¯t pass the battle test, he could still be accepted by the West Eagle Academy. Qin Feng felt a bit regretful. Ye Fan¡¯s potential had already been greatly weakened. It had to be known that once a contract was signed, it could no longer be abandoned. Even if the pet died, it could be revived within a certain amount of time. From the day they signed the contract, a pet would always accompany a Beast Tamer. Therefore, in battle, Beast Tamers would think of ways to make their pets stronger. However, how much potential could a Cute Sparrow have? Its ultimate form was only high-level Rank 1. Contracting a Cute Sparrow was no different from not having a contract. This was a waste. It was no joke. In a battle of the same level, it was obvious that the party with a weaker pet would be at a disadvantage. Ding Shengxin also looked regretful. In the crowd, only Chen Xin was relatively calm. She had seen the strength of the Golden Sparrow with her own eyes. She knew very well how strong this seemingly weak pet was. Hearing everyone¡¯s discussions, the corners of Chen Xin¡¯s mouth slightly rose, forming a strange arc. She didn¡¯t know how they would react when they saw Ye Fan. Under everyone¡¯s pitying or disdainful gazes, Ye Fan remained calm. He listened intently to the voice in his head. ¡°Ding¡­ New mission received.¡± ¡± Admission Assessment : Enter West Eagle Academy and win the championship of the combat assessment. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Finally, a mission. Ye Fan¡¯s interest was piqued. 200 evolution points was enough for him to obtain two new abilities. The mission had to be completed. After calming himself down, Ye Fan swept his gaze over the crowd and ordered the Golden Sparrow. The battle was about to break out. The ten mummies opened their jaws in unison and charged the Golden Sparrow. Their sharp talons flashed with cold light as they reached for it. Just when everyone thought the adorable bird would soon be torn to pieces by the mummies, the Golden Sparrow dodged quickly. In a flash, the Golden Sparrow released flames at the four closest mummies. Then, the four mummies were consumed by the flames. Unable to attack, the mummies quickly turned to ash. Everyone stared in shock. Before they could react, the Golden Sparrow was burning up all the mummies as if it was cooking. ¡°Damn, this is too awesome.¡± ¡°W-what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Am I seeing things?¡± ¡°This is a Cute Sparrow? Why is it so powerful?¡± Seeing this scene, everyone could not believe their eyes. Was this still a Cute Sparrow? Even Chen Xin¡¯s Herculean Infant Dragon could not deal with the mummies easily. What was going on? Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin looked at each other. This Cute Sparrow was definitely not an ordinary pet. ¡°Impossible!¡± Only then did Xu Kai react and immediately cried out in shock. His face was filled with disbelief. How could a trashy Cute Sparrow have such powerful strength? Ye Fan ignored everyone¡¯s shock and raised his head to look at Liu Feng, stupefied. ¡°Can you summon more?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ what? Yes.¡± Liu Feng recovered and looked at Ye Fan in surprise. He immediately ordered the Grave Wizard to summon ten more mummies. The result was the same. The ten mummies could not last more than half a minute under the flames of the Golden Sparrow. The third attack followed. The fourth time. The fifth time. From the beginning to the end, Golden Sparrow had a nonchalant expression, as if it was not facing a group of mummies, but a group of flies. Something even more shocking happened. A mummy¡¯s sharp claws slashed across its body, but the Cute Sparrow nimbly dodged. This was something no one had expected. One had to know that the Cute Sparrow did not have such speed. However, from the movements of this Cute Sparrow, it was extremely agile. After killing the fifth batch of mummies, Ye Fan finally stopped attacking. ¡°Fifty will do.¡± Ye Fan took back the Golden Sparrow. At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent. Even Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng, the two tutors, had expressions of disbelief as they stood there in a daze, not saying anything for a long time. Chapter 12 This Is a Massacre! There was a long pause. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were the first to react. ¡°Old Qin, what kind of pet do you think Ye Fan have?¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s voice was a bit hoarse. Qin Feng was also confused and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but it¡¯s definitely not an ordinary Cute Sparrow or an evolved one.¡± They looked at each other. One had to know that they were official teachers of West Eagle Academy. They definitely had the most say in the theoretical knowledge of pets. But now, they actually didn¡¯t know a student¡¯s pet. This was undoubtedly shocking news. After a short silence, Ding Shengxin let out a long sigh. ¡°No matter what, our academy is the biggest winner this time.¡± Qin Feng nodded in agreement. Ye Fan¡¯s innate talent, as well as his unknown and powerful pet beast, meant that his future was limitless. Sure enough, there was an extraordinary figure among this batch of new students. Even the two teachers were frightened, let alone the others. Everyone¡¯s gaze towards Ye Fan no longer contained the pity and contempt from before. Instead, it was filled with deep shock and reverence. Those were fifty mummies. Among so many people, there was no doubt that he would definitely be number one in this test. Furthermore, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Fan was still holding back a bit. This clearly wasn¡¯t his full strength. Chen Xin calmly looked at Ye Fan, a strange expression appearing on his face. Ye Fan¡¯s pet was much stronger than the one she had encountered on the Ancient Battlefield. ¡°How did his pet transform in the past few days?¡± Chen Xin was puzzled. After Ye Fan finished his test, he returned to the group. After Ye Fan¡¯s shocking performance, no one was interested in the following tests. Not long after. At this point, this test was completely over. Among them, nearly one-third were eliminated. However, compared to the talent assessment, this number of eliminated people was not too many. Ding Shengxin clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the new students. ¡°This is the end of the entrance examination. Congratulations on joining our West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll arrange for a bus outside the square. You can take the bus to the college to check in before you choose your residence.¡± Ding Shengxin paused for a moment before turning to look at Ye Fan. ¡°Ye Fan, you¡¯re this year¡¯s King of Freshmen. You have the qualification to live in a manor in the academy.¡± Hearing this, many students looked envious. ¡°That¡¯s great. He can live in a manor.¡± ¡°You can do that too if you win the championship.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. I really don¡¯t have the ability to kill fifty mummies.¡± ¡­ Ye Fan calmly nodded, then looked at the attributes in front of him. As Ding Shengxin shouted, his mission information appeared. ¡°Ding¡­ completed the ¡®Admission Assessment¡¯ mission. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan immediately opened the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attribute panel and spent 200 evolution points to activate Brutal Force and Beast Summoning . Name: Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: Low Level, Rank 2 Growth: 5% Skills: Elementary Fire, Wind Blade, Summoning Clone Evolution Path: The next stage requires: 100% growth, one Cangmu Horn, and ten low-grade Dark Crystals Ye Fan glanced at the system interface and lightly nodded. The Golden Sparrow now had seven talents and skills. This was much more than ordinary pets. Low-level Rank-2 pets usually had one or two skills or one talent. Some good pets had two or three. But he had never heard of one that had seven talents and skills. Moreover, these seven talents and skills were all powerful. ¡°With the Golden Sparrow¡¯s current strength, it should be more than enough to deal with a second or third rank opponent.¡± Ye Fan smiled in satisfaction. After that, everyone slowly walked towards the exit of the square. As soon as he left, many people surrounded him. ¡°Brother Ye, what is your pet? It¡¯s so impressive.¡± ¡°Go away. Who would ask about other people¡¯s pets?¡± ¡°Brother Ye, do you want to eat together? My treat.¡± ¡°Brother Ye, I don¡¯t know much about pets. Can you help me take a look?¡± That girl¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Fan¡¯s face. The surrounding girls frowned and cursed her for being shameless. They turned around and all sent offers to him. He was handsome and strong. Such a man was rare. They were all tempted and naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity. Ye Fan had never liked this sort of thing. He politely replied, and then his gaze fell on the edge of the crowd. He glanced at Chen Xin, smiled, and nodded. After that, he looked at Xu Kai, whose face was as dark as coal. Meeting Ye Fan¡¯s gaze, Xu Kai¡¯s expression stiffened. He immediately turned his face away, not daring to meet Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. He had truly lost all face today. Chapter 13 Luxurious Manor The group walked out. Ye Fan was very conspicuous as he was surrounded by people. Along the way, many people looked at him curiously. Just as he was about to leave the plaza, Ye Fan heard a familiar voice. ¡°Ye Fan.¡± He turned around and saw Su Li standing more than ten meters away, waving at him. Ye Fan squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of Su Li. Seeing his excited expression, he immediately understood. ¡°You passed the entrance examination of the Shanmi Academy?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Su Li raised his head and puffed out his chest, his face filled with joy. In the end, he looked at the surrounding people in confusion, then at Ye Fan. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Su Li didn¡¯t dare to directly ask, afraid that Ye Fan would be embarrassed. ¡°These people were all accepted by the West Eagle Academy.¡± Ye Fan shrugged. Su Li was stunned when he heard this. Shock appeared on his face. ¡°You¡­ Did you¡­ pass?¡± He enunciated each word clearly. It was obvious how shocked he was. Ye Fan faintly smiled and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Hearing Ye Fan¡¯s words, Su Li sucked in a cold breath, his mind completely blank. He didn¡¯t believe that Ye Fan was lying, nor did he think that it was necessary. But it was precisely because of this that Su Li was incomparably shocked. He had never expected that Ye Fan would actually be admitted into the West Eagle Academy. Just a few hours ago, he had thought that Ye Fan had gone crazy. But¡­ how did Ye Fan do it? Putting aside his innate talent, just how did the Cute Sparrow pass the test? Su Li was filled with doubt. After thinking about it, Su Li looked at Ye Fan, his eyes somewhat complicated. ¡°Congratulations!¡± However, although he was envious, he was still happy for Ye Fan. As a result, Ye Fan unexpectedly became a dark horse and entered the West Eagle Academy. If word got out, countless people¡¯s jaws would drop to the ground. After chatting for a bit, Ye Fan and Su Li parted ways at the exit. They boarded the bus and headed towards the West Eagle Academy. The registration process was very simple and did not end until the afternoon. Then, under the guidance of the logistics staff, he chose a manor. This manor wasn¡¯t located in the residential area of the new students. Instead, it was right next to them. The decorations inside were extremely comfortable and luxurious. This caused Ye Fan, who had grown up in a cramped room, to stare. Furthermore, Ye Fan was in Class A and would receive monthly subsidies from the academy. A total of 3,000 yuan. In the past, he only had an allowance of 1,000 yuan per month. ¡°How extravagant. No wonder so many people are fighting to enter this academy.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Of course, only Class A could enjoy such subsidies. Class B, Class C, and the other top classes had lower subsidies. Although Class D was at the bottom, they still had 1,200 yuan every month. Ye Fan returned home and packed his luggage before returning to his manor. Afterwards, he began to unpack his things. By the time he was done, it was already dark. Ye Fan let out a long breath and put his plan aside. ¡°Next, it¡¯s my second pet.¡± The higher the level of a Beast Tamer, the more pets they could contract. Ye Fan¡¯s current strength had already reached the second rank. He could now contract two pet beasts. ¡°What kind of pet is better?¡± Ye Fan was in deep thought. The most powerful ability of the evolution system was that it could make people discover that their pets could become stronger through evolution. Therefore, if he wanted to contract a powerful pet, it had to have a powerful hiding ability. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look at the pet store tomorrow.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s heart stirred. The next day. Ye Fan woke up very early. After eating breakfast, he hurriedly left. There weren¡¯t many classes in the academy. Most of them were teaching theoretical knowledge. Other than a few compulsory classes, the other classes were optional. The time for class was very flexible. This was also reasonable. After all, most of the time, Beast Tamers had to go out and adventure. Not long after, Ye Fan arrived at a commercial district not far from the West Eagle Academy. On both sides of the wide and clean street were all kinds of shops, all of them related to pet beasts. Everything about pets could be bought here. Therefore, this was a street called Pet Street. Ye Fan walked around and chose a shop with a good reputation. He pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Hello, what would you like to buy?¡± The shop assistant immediately showed a professional smile and walked over. Ye Fan smiled at her and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll see for myself.¡± ¡°Please go ahead.¡± The shop assistant was not surprised. She smiled and turned to leave. Ye Fan began to stroll around the shop. On the Pet Street, this was an intermediate-scale pet store with two floors. On the first floor, all the pets sold were of the first and second rank. On the second floor, there were pets above the second rank. Beast Taming Eggs were quietly placed on the shelves. Beside them were pieces of paper with detailed instructions for customers. It had to be known that every time, Beast Tamers could only sign contracts with pets of their same level. A Rank 2 pet could only be contracted by a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. Even if he could not sign a contract just yet, he could do it when he advanced. Ye Fan focused his attention on the Rank-2 pets. When he entered the pet store, Ye Fan was still worried about his information on the pets. But he immediately felt relieved. He glanced at the eggs on the shelves, and pieces of relevant information slowly appeared in front of him. Chapter 14 Purchasing a Pet Name: Fierce Beast Nature: Normal Grade: Low Level, Rank 2 Growth: 20% Talent: Quick Movement Ability: Wind Cutting Blade Evolution Paths (1) Blinking Path: It¡¯s more focused on the light element. Bloodline can evolve to Blinking Beast and be upgraded to Intermediate Rank 4. (2) Lightning Path: Focused on the lightning. Bloodline can evolve to Flying Thunder Beast. Can be upgraded to High-level Rank 5. ¡°Lightning path?¡± Ye Fan muttered as he looked at the egg. Fierce Beasts were one of the more common types of Rank-2 beasts. But as far as Ye Fan knew, Fierce Beasts¡¯ evolution path was Blinking Beasts. He had never heard of any other evolutionary path. Obviously, this lightning path was a bloodline evolution path for Fierce Beasts. ¡°However, the potential of high-level Rank-5 is too weak.¡± Ye Fan shook his head and turned his attention to the next egg. Pets that could advance to the King level were already extremely rare. Ye Fan wasn¡¯t the kind of person who was greedy. However, in his eyes, his pet should at least have the potential of Rank 7 or 8. Information about the eggs appeared in front of Ye Fan, and he began to read through them one by one. Not every pet had a hidden evolution path. These were very rare. Ye Fan glanced around and found that there were only four or five pets with hidden evolution paths. Among them, the strongest were only lower-level Rank 6. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. Let¡¯s go to another pet store,¡± Ye Fan muttered, just in time to see the last batch of eggs in the corner. Then, he was dumbfounded. Name: Cloud Mist Beast Nature: Fire Grade: Tier 2 Intermediate Growth: 24% Talent: Low-level Fire Resistance, Half-Void Body Skills: Cloud, Fireball Evolution Paths (1) Blazing Mist Path: Enhances support skills. Bloodline can evolve to Dark Mist Beast. It can be upgraded to a low-level Rank 3 creature. (2) Overlord Path: Enhanced Attack Skill. Bloodline can evolve to Fog of Heaven and be upgraded to Peak Rank-9. ¡°Peak Rank 9!¡± Ye Fan was overjoyed. He had been prepared to give up, but now it seemed that it had all been worth it. Not only had he found an evolvable pet, but its potential was also astonishing. ¡°I remember that this Cloud Mist Beast can only be considered at the bottom of the second rank, but its potential is so terrifying,¡± Ye Fan exclaimed. These pets were slowly figured out from the experience of the seniors, who had spent infinite time and energy. However, until now, no one could say that they had already grasped the evolution direction of a pet. This could be seen from the Cloud Mist Beast. Before Ye Fan, who would have thought that this Cloud Mist Beast actually had a bloodline evolution path? Ye Fan didn¡¯t say anything, directly treating this Cloud Mist Beast as his second pet. The market price of a second-rank pet usually ranged from 20,000 to more than 100,000. This was a second-rank pet, and the lowest price was 20,000 yuan. ¡°I just received an allowance. Including my savings, I have a total of over seven thousand yuan.¡± Ye Fan was helpless. He really didn¡¯t have any money. Helpless, he could only call the shop assistant over. ¡°Can Dark Crystals be exchanged for money?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± the shop assistant said with a smile. Dark crystals were very useful. Almost 99% of pets used Dark Crystals. They were usually used to feed high-level pets. Therefore, pet shops often purchased Dark Crystals. Ye Fan nodded and handed over a bag. It was filled with secondary Dark Crystals he had obtained from the Ancient Battlefield last time. There were more than 50 of them in total. Other than leaving ten of them for the Golden Sparrow to evolve, Ye Fan sold the rest. The shop assistant counted. It was a total of 42 pieces. The market price of the secondary Dark Crystals was 800 yuan per piece. The shop assistant didn¡¯t lie to him. She bought them according to the market price. After deducting the price of the Cloud Mist Beast, Ye Fan still had 13,000 yuan left. In an instant, a large sum of money appeared in his pocket. ¡°No wonder so many people want to become Beast Tamers. It¡¯s so easy to make money.¡± Ye Fan sighed when he saw the message on his phone. Moreover, this was a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. For some high-level Beast Tamers, their daily income was over a million. Ye Fan took the egg and directly left the pet store, planning to go back and contract his own pet. However, when he came out of the pet store, he met a familiar face. ¡°Ye Fan, what a coincidence! Why are you here?¡± Chen Xin looked at Ye Fan, her eyes flashing with joy. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the egg in Ye Fan¡¯s palm. Chen Xin looked at it and was startled, immediately remembering something. Her beautiful face was filled with shock. Chapter 15 Land of Demonic Souls ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Ye Fan nodded at Chen Xin, then took out the Sealing Egg. ¡°I just bought a pet.¡± ¡°You¡­ you want to contract a new pet?¡± Chen Xin stammered, looking unbelievable. Ye Fan honestly nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± There was no need to hide this matter. Hearing Ye Fan¡¯s words, Chen Xin¡¯s eyes opened wide, her heart in turmoil. In such a short period of time, Ye Fan had already become a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. ¡°No wonder the testing device exploded.¡± Chen Xin looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. She considered herself to be extremely talented, and she was also from a Beast Tamer Family, so she had had enough cultivation resources since she was born. However, she was currently only at the high level of Rank 1. If she wanted to advance to the second rank, she would still need a long time. Compared to Ye Fan, she simply paled. Chen Xin composed herself and changed the topic. ¡°Which club are you going to join in the future?¡± ¡°Club?¡± Ye Fan was startled. In the pet academy, there were all kinds of clubs. In this way, all students with the same attribute could spar in their clubs. In West Eagle Academy alone, there were more than twenty clubs. For example, the Netherworld Society, the Pure Land Society, and the Light Society. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet.¡± With the evolution system, Ye Fan didn¡¯t have much interest in clubs. If he had time to participate in the club activities, he might as well kill more monsters to make his pets stronger. ¡°I see.¡± Chen Xin smiled and nodded. She then said, ¡°I plan to set up a Class A chat group. When the time comes, we can discuss which club we want to join.¡± Ye Fan smiled in agreement. The two of them chatted for a while more before leaving. Ye Fan directly returned to the manor and signed a contract with the Cloud Mist Beast. With a crisp sound, a huge Cloud Mist Beast crawled out. The surroundings were instantly filled with mist. The Cloud Mist Beast looked like a little wolf cub. Its entire body was covered in gray fog. It was forty to fifty centimeters tall and emitted a scorching aura. Once the contract was completed, an indescribable connection instantly appeared in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. There seemed to be a link between him and the Cloud Mist Beast. ¡°From today onwards, you are my second pet beast.¡± Ye Fan squatted down and gently stroked its head. The Cloud Mist Beast rubbed against Ye Fan¡¯s palm affectionately. Under the effects of the contract, the mist around its body was unable to do anything to Ye Fan. Ye Fan comforted the Cloud Mist Beast, then opened the system interface to check the evolution requirements for the Overlord Path. ¡°Overlord. The next evolution node, Fog of Heaven , requires 100% growth, 1 Fire Source Stone, and 5 Lesser Fire Crystals.¡± ¡°Fire Source Stone?¡± Ye Fan took out his phone and searched the Internet. He quickly found the relevant information. This was a type of Rank-2 rare material, and its value wasn¡¯t inferior to some Rank-3 materials. Its market price had already exceeded 20,000, even higher than a Cloud Mist Beast. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough money¡­¡± Near An City, there was a place that produced Fire Source Stones. It was the Land of Demonic Souls. It was a gathering place of monsters about five kilometers away to the northeastern part of An City. There were a large number of undead and fire-type monsters here, as well as some special materials. Ye Fan was also looking for the Cangmu Horn needed for the Golden Sparrow to evolve. It was quite a coincidence. The Cangmu Horn could also be found in the Land of Demonic Souls. ¡°Coincidentally, I can collect the evolution resources of two pets at the same time.¡± Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Fan didn¡¯t immediately move. He stayed at home to recover his strength. The next morning. Ye Fan wildly ran towards the Land of Demonic Souls. This wasn¡¯t a trial ground for ordinary Beast Tamers. The Land of Demonic Souls was even more dangerous. The monsters in the periphery alone were all above Rank 1. In the deepest parts of the Land of Demonic Souls, there were existences of Rank 2 and Rank 3. Those who dared to come here to train were usually experienced. The Land of Demonic Souls was also a gathering place for many hunter teams. These hunters who fought at the front line all year round and made a living by killing monsters were all very strong. When Ye Fan arrived at the Demon Soul Land, there were already several squads waiting at the entrance. They stood in an empty space at the entrance and sat on the ground. They chatted and laughed, preparing to enter the land. Other than them, there were also some lone Beast Tamers. There was a commotion. Ye Fan glanced at them, then turned and walked towards the cave entrance. More than ten meters away. A youth raised his head. Seeing Ye Fan walk into the cave, he couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± he called out. Chapter 16 One-sided Crushing ¡°Xu Kai, what¡¯s the matter?¡± The burly man noticed his expression and asked in surprise. ¡°I saw a familiar face.¡± Xu Kai fiercely glared at Ye Fan. Xu Gang looked at him and understood what he meant. ¡°Classmate?¡± ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s just a poor guy.¡± ¡°Did he piss you off? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?¡± Xu Gang¡¯s hunter team was working with Xu Kai¡¯s family. They could take on business from Xu Kai¡¯s father, earning a considerable income. Therefore, Xu Gang thought highly of Xu Kai. Now that there was a chance to befriend him, he naturally would not be stingy. Xu Kai¡¯s expression was uncertain. In the end, he was blinded by jealousy and nodded vigorously. ¡°Thank you, Brother Xu.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xu Gang patted Xu Kai¡¯s shoulder and smiled. That was just a poor guy. Even if that guy was a student of the West Eagle Academy, there was nothing to worry about if he did not have a background. After dealing with this guy, Xu Gang could build a good relationship with Xu Kai. Perhaps he could even take on more business. The more Xu Gang thought about it, the happier he became. He waved his hand, and seven or eight people stood up. Not long after, they entered the Land of Demonic Souls. Everything turned black. Ye Fan adapted to the dimness around him and began to observe his surroundings. On the pitted walls, there were unknown slimes everywhere. The only source of light was the glowing gemstones on the walls. The entire cave emitted a strange aura that made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Summoning the Gold Sparrow and the Cloud Mist Beast, Ye Fan carefully continued deeper. Soon. Just at this moment, a sharp cry rang out from the front. Over ten black bats with savage fangs charged at Ye Fan in groups. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Fan ordered. The Golden Sparrow immediately rushed forward. Ye Fan still had the Cloud Mist Beast by his side, and the raging flames lit up the darkness. Two black bats that rushed over were burned to death on the spot before they could let out a scream. The huge disparity in strength made the bats no match for the Golden Sparrow. In the blink of an eye, all the bats were killed. ¡°Less than 1% growth. This is too low.¡± After advancing to the lower level of Rank 2, he found the speed of advancement by killing intermediate Rank-1 monsters plummeting. Killing more than a hundred of them led to only about 10%. ¡°I have to hunt even more monsters.¡± Ye Fan continued walking. According to the information on the Internet, there were two kinds of common monsters at the edge of the Land of Demonic Souls. In addition to the black bats, there was also a type of high-level Rank-1 monster called Dark Sala. Not long after. Ye Fan saw a Dark Sala. With a strange cry, seven or eight monsters that were as tall as a person rushed out from the corner of the passage. Their bodies were gray and hollow inside, with only the upper body and no lower body. From the outside, they looked a little similar to slimes. They floated twenty centimeters away from the ground. There were two balls of blue flames dancing in their eyes. ¡°So many?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Now I can try out the Golden Sparrow¡¯s new ability,¡± Ye Fan thought. Four identical Golden Sparrows appeared, each casting their own flames to block Dark Salas¡¯ path. The Beast Summoning Technique could summon beasts two levels lower than oneself. The Golden Sparrows summoned with the Beast Summoning Technique were all high-level Rank-1. They were not inferior to Dark Salas at all. ¡°I wonder if I can get more?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s possible, when the Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength increases in the future, I might be able to summon quite a few Golden Sparrows.¡± Ye Fan suddenly thought of something. As he was thinking, the Golden Sparrow had already rushed forward with a group of Golden Sparrows. There was no suspense in this battle. The Golden Sparrow ended the battle with a crushing victory. ¡°Not bad.¡± Ye Fan slightly nodded. The monsters at the edge of the Land of Demonic Souls were no threat to him at all. Through this passage, Ye Fan passed through the periphery without any obstruction and arrived at the center of the Land of Demonic Souls. During this time, the Cloud Mist Beast near Ye Fan didn¡¯t attack. It was partly to protect Ye Fan. The second was to let the Golden Sparrow kill these demons. It was better to upgrade one pet first. He had also gained a lot from this battle. In this battle, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth had already reached 19%. ¡°If nothing goes wrong, I can increase its growth to 100% today or tomorrow.¡± ¡°First, we need to find the Cangmu Horn and the Fire Source Stone.¡± This was a type of ore found in the Land of Demonic Souls. As for the Cangmu Horn, it was a Rank-2 Boss Grade monster. Compared to the Fire Source Stone, which was nowhere to be found, it was much easier to find the Cangmu Horn. After all, there were countless Rank-2 monsters in the central area of the Land of Demonic Souls. Thinking of this, Ye Fan continued forward. He was just about to turn the corner when a figure darted out from the side and almost ran headlong into Golden Sparrow, who was at the very front. A jet of flame shot out. The Golden Sparrow attacked instinctively. ¡°Ah!¡± A miserable scream suddenly sounded. ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Fan hastily stopped his pet. The raging fire was about to spread to her body. Her eyes were filled with fear. Chapter 17 A Pie From the Sky Su Wan¡¯er could feel the raging flames around her. Her heartbeat quickened, and her eyes were filled with fear. When the Golden Sparrow withdrew the raging fire, she came back to her senses. ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± The girl angrily pointed at Ye Fan, unable to say a complete sentence. Suddenly, a deep roar came from the corner. Rapid and muffled footsteps sounded. They were getting closer. Su Wan¡¯er came back to her senses. She could not care less about her anger and hurriedly shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go. There are still many monsters behind us!¡± Ye Fan raised his eyebrows. Before he could speak, Su Wan¡¯er grabbed his arm and ran out quickly. Ye Fan bitterly smiled. What was wrong with this girl? She grabbed a man she just met. ¡°What monster is chasing you?¡± ¡°There are at least 20 Demonic Souls!¡± ¡°My pets are holding them back. Let¡¯s run now.¡± Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s face was a little pale. She had thought that with the protection of two powerful dragon pets, she should be at ease in this Land of Demonic Souls and there would be no danger. However, who would have thought that they would encounter a large group of Demonic Souls as soon as they entered the place? In the end, she had underestimated this place. This was her first time entering the Land of Demonic Souls, so she naturally had to be more careful. But she had to run around carelessly. Now, not only had she attracted the Demonic Souls, but she had also dragged Ye Fan down with her. Thinking of this, Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s heart was filled with disappointment and regret. Ye Fan ignored Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s expression and turned around. At that moment, he saw two dragon pets running out of the corner. Behind them were more than twenty Demonic Souls with greenish-black skin. They looked like Mummified Corpses, but they were faster. The two pets fought as they retreated. One of them was covered in sharp metal pieces and exuded a ferocious aura. The other had yellow skin that was as hard as stone. Sharp Thorn Dragon and Rock Dragon! Ye Fan immediately recognized them. The Sharp Thorn Dragon was a pet at the high level of the second rank. As for the Rock Dragon, it was at the intermediate level of the second rank. Both of them had been famous for a long time. When Ye Fan saw this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit suspicious. The Demonic Soul was only a second rank monster, and its strength was much greater than an ordinary Rank-2 monster. However, the dragon¡¯s battle prowess was also the strongest. With the strength of the Sharp Thorn Dragon and the Rock Dragon, they wouldn¡¯t have too much pressure even if they faced more than twenty Demonic Souls. However, his suspicion didn¡¯t last long. Ye Fan suddenly understood. Behind the group of Demonic Souls, a burly man followed. The two-meter-tall figure gave off a strong sense of oppression, and his scarlet eyes were filled with ruthlessness. However, the most eye-catching thing was the pale horn on his forehead. ¡°This is the boss of the Demonic Souls!¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. This was simply a pie falling from the sky. Just as he was about to look for the leader of the Demonic Souls, he did not expect this guy to take the initiative to look for him. Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice sounded. ¡°Ding¡­ System prompt.¡± ¡± Survival in Demon Soul Land : Kill a Demon Soul Boss. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan stopped. Because of her inertia, Su Wan¡¯er almost fell. She quickly pulled Ye Fan¡¯s arm. ¡°What are you doing? He¡¯s coming! Run!¡± Su Wan¡¯er panicked. ¡°You run first. Leave this kid to me.¡± Hearing this, Su Wan¡¯er was slightly startled. She immediately turned to look at Ye Fan¡¯s pet beast. She felt that she might have encountered someone powerful. This glance almost choked her to death. This was the Golden Sparrow. How useful could such a pet be in battle? ¡°Take a closer look. This is a high-level Rank 2 Demonic Soul. How do you want to deal with it?¡± Su Wan¡¯er slapped his forehead and gritted her teeth. ¡°I know,¡± said Ye Fan indifferently. The Golden Sparrow sensed its master¡¯s intentions and turned around to rush towards the Demonic Souls. When Su Wan¡¯er saw this, she was about to cry. This guy looked quite handsome, but what was wrong with his head? Wasn¡¯t this courting death? How could this Golden Sparrow defeat those Demonic Souls? Not to mention the boss, even the remaining Demonic Souls could easily tear it into pieces. ¡°Alright, we can get the Sharp Thorn Dragon to protect us from behind.¡± Su Wan¡¯er quickly made a decision. The sacrifice of the Sharp Thorn Dragon would make her heart ache, but even if it died, it could be revived in a short period of time. In comparison, her life was more important. Su Wan¡¯er tightly gripped Ye Fan¡¯s arm, wanting to take him away. But just at this moment, two more muffled explosions rang out. Su Wan¡¯er was stunned. She turned around and saw that many monsters were about to catch up. Her gaze landed on the Golden Sparrow. It rushed into the monsters like a fire. It released flames again, burning all the Demonic Souls in its path. This was too ruthless. ¡°¡­¡± Su Wan¡¯er was dumbfounded. Her mouth was agape and she could not say a word. Chapter 18 You¡¯re the King of Freshmen This was something that Su Wan¡¯er had never expected. Today, she actually saw a Golden Sparrow so relaxed under the siege of Rank-2 monsters. This scene was stunning. ¡°This¡­ is this a dream?¡± ¡°Do you want me to wake you up?¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, Su Wan¡¯er actually nodded. Ye Fan reached out and pinched Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s face. It felt good. ¡°Ah!¡± Su Wan¡¯er screamed and finally came back to her senses. She was too lazy to argue with Ye Fan. She just blankly looked at the Golden Sparrow. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is your pet so powerful?¡± Beast Tamers hated it the most when others asked about their pets. She hurriedly waved her hands. ¡°Forget it.¡± Ye Fan was too lazy to say anything more to Su Wan¡¯er. He only faintly smiled and continued to pay attention to the battle ahead. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength was about the same as the Demonic Souls. However, with many talents and techniques, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s actual combat strength was much stronger than the other party. Not to mention anything else, just this point alone made it invincible. Coupled with its raging flames, almost no Demonic Souls could withstand this kind of burning. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the twenty or so Demonic Souls had been burned to death. Only four or five of them were entangled by the Rock Dragon and the Sharp Thorn Dragon. As for the Golden Sparrow, it directly pounced on the Demonic Souls¡¯ boss. ¡°Roar!¡± A deafening roar. The death of its subordinates made it even more irritable. It suddenly stretched out ten sharp claws, cutting through the sky and grabbing at the Golden Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow was not afraid. It dodged and hurriedly released flames to burn the Demonic Soul. When Su Wan¡¯er saw this scene, she could not help but cry out. She had seen with her own eyes how terrifying the claws of the boss of the Demonic Souls were. Even the Rock Dragon, which was known for its defense, was not unscathed. The bloody hole in its abdomen was the best proof. If this Golden Sparrow fought it head-on, it would definitely suffer. However, just as this thought flashed through her mind, Su Wan¡¯er was shocked to discover that the Demonic Soul¡¯s claw had missed. She only saw the Golden Sparrow dodge nimbly at a speed that was a little dazzling. ¡°No way?!¡± Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. This speed was simply ridiculous. At the same time, the Golden Sparrow released raging flames to burn the Demon Soul¡¯s chest again. The fire left scars on its chest. The victor had already been decided in the first clash. The Golden Sparrow, who had the upper hand, continued to pursue the Demonic Soul. The raging flames continued to burn the Demonic Soul. In the sea of fire, the Demonic Soul boss was reduced to skin and bones. Everything happened too quickly. The boss of the Demonic Souls was covered in wounds and looked very miserable. It no longer had its previous dignity. Su Wan¡¯er sucked in a breath of cold air. Not only could this Golden Sparrow release fire skills, but it was also extremely fast. She had only seen such a skill among some rare humanoid pets. ¡°What an eye-opener today¡­¡± Su Wan¡¯er muttered. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Fan. Where did this guy come from? How could he have such a strange Golden Sparrow? After a while, the battle finally came to an end. Taking advantage of this gap, the Golden Sparrow once again released its fire technique. This time, it completely burned them to ashes. This battle was finally over. The Sharp Thorn Dragon and the Rock Dragon had already killed all the remaining Demonic Souls. The Land of Demonic Souls was silent again. ¡°¡­¡± Su Wan¡¯er was dumbfounded. Who knew how powerful this Golden Sparrow was? ¡°Howl!¡± Just at this moment, the Cloud Mist Beast suddenly rushed over and opened its mouth at Ye Fan. With a bang, more than a dozen secondary Dark Crystals? fell to the ground. These were the spoils of war it had plundered from the Demonic Souls. ¡°Howl.¡± The Cloud Mist Beast wagged its tail with a fawning expression. ¡°Good boy.¡± Ye Fan laughed and rubbed its head. A happy expression appeared on its face. ¡°Your pet?¡± Su Wan¡¯er looked puzzled. Ye Fan obediently nodded. Su Wan¡¯er understood. As expected of a Rank 2. However, compared to this strange Golden Sparrow, this pet seemed too weak. This intermediate second-rank Cloud Mist Beast could only be considered at the bottom of the second-rank pets. As for the Golden Sparrow, there was no need to mention its true strength. In terms of combat strength alone, it should be around the peak of Rank 2. It was really powerful. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t get a chance to thank you for saving my life.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Su Wan¡¯er from the second year of the West Eagle Academy. What about you?¡± ¡°Ye Fan.¡± Su Wan¡¯er was stunned for a moment and frowned. ¡°Ye Fan¡­ What a familiar name.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Ye Fan laughed and slowly opened his mouth. ¡°Senior Sister.¡± Su Wan¡¯er suddenly understood everything when he called her that. Her eyes widened. ¡°You¡¯re the King of Freshmen this year!¡± Chapter 19 Purpose Achieved Among this batch of new students, an extremely talented person had appeared and directly blown up the Soul River Tester. This matter had long spread throughout West Eagle Academy. Of course, Su Wan¡¯er had also heard about it. However, she did not expect that the person would appear in front of her and save her. Things in the world were truly wonderfully unpredictable. After a long while, Su Wan¡¯er finally reacted. Ye Fan came to the Demonic Soul¡¯s side and pulled its horn off its head. He grabbed the Cangmu Horn. ¡°I¡¯ve already collected all the evolutionary materials. All I need to do is wait for it to grow to the maximum.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. After killing the Demonic Soul Boss, it obtained nearly 19% growth. Coupled with the dozen or so Demon Souls it had killed previously, its growth had already reached 56%. ¡°Not bad.¡± If there were two or three more Rank-2 Boss-Grade Demon Souls, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth would reach 100%. However, this was just wishful thinking. Boss-level Demonic Souls were not easy to encounter. On the other side. Now, he had already killed the boss of the Demonic Souls. ¡°Completed ¡®Survival in the Land of Demonic Souls¡¯ mission. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s gaze swept across the interface. His innate talent and abilities had yet to be unlocked. All that was left were nine basic attributes. After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan spent 100 evolution points to unlock the light attribute. After all, now that he had evolution points, he had to unlock what needed to be unlocked. As for the remaining evolution points, Ye Fan planned to keep them for later use. He checked the interface again. Name: Ye Fan Grade: Rank 2, Intermediate Soul Power: 500/500 Pets: Golden Sparrow, Cloud Mist Beast Evolution Points: 150 ¡°When I come back, I must study defense-type skills carefully.¡± Beast Tamers¡¯ strength wasn¡¯t just based on their pets, but also their skills. As for defense-type skills, all Beast Tamers had to know them. Because in battle, pets couldn¡¯t protect Beast Tamers at all times. In order to ensure their own safety and not drag down their pets, everyone would learn one or two defensive skills. Only then could they have more ability to protect themselves in battle. ¡°The Cangmu Horn¡­ Is this the evolution material your pet beast needs?¡± Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s words brought Ye Fan back to reality. Her eyes gazed at the horn in Ye Fan¡¯s hands. She was very clear that an ordinary Golden Sparrow didn¡¯t need a Cangmu Horn. ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Fan nodded. He suddenly thought of something. ¡°Do you know where I can find Fire Source Stone?¡± Ye Fan casually asked, not holding much hope. Unexpectedly, Su Wan¡¯er nodded slightly. ¡°Fire Source Stone? I saw it just now.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. ¡°Can you bring me to take a look?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Su Wan¡¯er immediately patted her chest in agreement. ¡°But there¡¯s a group of ogres there, about twenty or thirty of them.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Ye Fan shook his head, his expression indifferent. Su Wan¡¯er did not think much of it. She was just saying it. The ogre was a low-level Rank-2 monster. With Ye Fan¡¯s strength, dealing with over twenty ogres was extremely easy. He was really not afraid. There wasn¡¯t much time left. The two of them immediately rushed towards the Fire Source Stone. Along the way, they encountered only a few scattered Demonic Souls. Of course, killing them was a piece of cake. Not long after, Su Wan¡¯er brought Ye Fan to the place she had mentioned. In a spacious cave, the ground was littered with white bones, and the air was filled with a sinister aura. However, he did not see the ogres that Su Wan¡¯er mentioned. ¡°They don¡¯t seem to be here anymore.¡± Only then did Su Wan¡¯er relax. She would not fight if she could. Ye Fan turned a deaf ear. His gaze had already been attracted by a gemstone emitting a faint red light in the corner. This was a Fire Source Stone! There was a ruby embedded in the stone wall, but only half of it was exposed. He quickly took out a small knife and removed the ruby. Ye Fan stared at it for a while and confirmed that this was the Fire Source Stone he was looking for. ¡°Now, all the materials are ready.¡± Ye Fan was ecstatic. He had finally achieved his goal this time. He had already gathered all the materials needed for the Golden Sparrow and the Cloud Mist Beast. As for the secondary Dark Crystals and fire element crystals, there was no need to mention them. The former was something he had prepared long ago, and the latter could be bought directly. As long as the growth of the two beasts increased to 100%, they could evolve at any time. At that time¡­ His strength would rise to another level. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be leaving first. What about you?¡± Ye Fan finally reacted and looked at Su Wan¡¯er. Just as Su Wan¡¯er was about to speak, she heard hurried footsteps outside the cave. The two of them turned around and saw seven or eight people walking in from another entrance of the cave. The people in the lead were Xu Gang and Xu Kai. When they met, they were stunned. ¡°Xu Kai?¡± Ye Fan was startled. He hadn¡¯t expected to meet him here. Xu Kai¡¯s eyes flashed and a cold smile appeared on his face. Chapter 20 You Want To Rob? They did not want to be discovered. Xu Kai and Xu Gang didn¡¯t attack in the outskirts of the Land of Demonic Souls. Instead, they quietly followed behind Ye Fan, preparing to act according to the situation. However, things didn¡¯t go according to their plan. On the way, they encountered a group of Demonic Souls. By the time they killed them, Ye Fan was already nowhere to be seen. Xu Kai looked around, but found nothing. Just as he was about to give up, Ye Fan appeared in front of him again. ¡°Looks like the heavens are favoring me.¡± Xu Kai glanced at Ye Fan and sneered. Xu Kai was filled with jealousy and hatred for this lowly commoner. He was just a person with no background. What right did he have to show off in front of me? Ye Fan saw the ridicule in Xu Kai¡¯s eyes and frowned slightly. Su Wan¡¯er also sensed the abnormality in the air and immediately vigilantly looked at Xu Kai¡¯s group. ¡°What do you want?¡± No one responded. Xu Gang looked at the Fire Source Stone in Ye Fan¡¯s hand, greed flashing in his eyes. A peak Rank-2 Fire Source Stone was not cheap. To a third-rate hunter squad, this was already a huge sum of money. This made Xu Gang even more determined. He laughed and pointed at the Fire Source Stone. He said in a low voice, ¡°Hand it over.¡± There was no disguise in his words. It was obvious that he wanted to snatch it. Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s face darkened as she glared at Xu Gang. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll report you to the Adventurers¡¯ Guild?¡± The Adventurers¡¯ Guild belonged to the Beast Tamer Association. They specialized in managing hunter teams and lone adventurers. Anyone who violated the rules of the Adventurers¡¯ Guild would be severely punished. Among hunters and adventurers, it was respected. When Xu Gang and the others heard this, not only were they not afraid, they even laughed out loud. ¡°The girl said she¡¯d turn us in.¡± ¡°You scared me to death.¡± ¡°Hehe, you can sue me all you want, but I have to remind you, what evidence do you have?¡± ¡°Exactly. Who said it was yours? I¡¯m telling you, we found it.¡± ¡°She¡¯s a young lady who¡¯s still wet behind the ears. One look and you can tell she¡¯s a rookie. She¡¯s just a little good-looking.¡± The group of people laughed and looked at Su Wan¡¯er in a lustful manner. Su Wan¡¯er was so angry that her face turned red. But Ye Fan didn¡¯t seem to care. Under the hostile gazes of Xu Gang and the others, he remained calm. However, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep look. For some reason, seeing Ye Fan like this made Xu Gang feel a bit nervous. It was as if something was about to happen. But soon, he threw this worry to the back of his mind. Xu Kai had already told everything. Ye Fan was this year¡¯s top ranker, but his pet beast was only at the first rank. Among beginner Beast Tamers, his strength was already pretty good. However, in front of veteran Beast Tamers like them, he couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow. As for the fair-skinned and pretty girl, she had extraordinary strength. These two dragon pets were both at the second rank. It wasn¡¯t easy to deal with them. But no matter what, with their strength, they could definitely beat these two people up. Thinking of this, a trace of pride appeared in Xu Gang¡¯s eyes. ¡°What should we do, Ye Fan?¡± Su Wan¡¯er feigned calmness as she walked over to Ye Fan. It was clear that these people were a small team of hunters. These seven or eight people were all Rank-2 Beast Tamers, and just their pets alone numbered more than ten. There were even high-level and peak Rank-2 existences. The person in the lead was even more powerful. The Huge Claw Beast beside him was a low-level Rank-3 pet beast. She and Ye Fan had no chance of winning. Before the battle even began, the outcome had already been decided. ¡°If there¡¯s really no other way¡­ Let¡¯s just give them the Fire Source Stone.¡± ¡°No, their target is me. Even if we hand over the Fire Source Stone, they won¡¯t let us go.¡± Ye Fan shook his head slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± Su Wan¡¯er was confused. He didn¡¯t understand why Ye Fan would say such a thing at this time. Could it be that he still had some sort of trump card? However, Ye Fan didn¡¯t want to say anything. As he spoke, he opened his system interface. Without any hesitation, he invested his evolution points into the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth. In an instant. The growth was increasing at an alarming rate. It went from 60% to 100% in an instant. As for evolution points, he lost 76 points in an instant. ¡°On average, 2 evolution points increase 1%.¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. This was a very good opportunity. A smile appeared in his eyes. No matter what, he had already met the requirements for evolution. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate to choose evolution. Immediately, his pet interface underwent a tremendous change. Name: Cute Sparrow Nature: Pet Grade: Peak, Rank 2 Growth: 0% Talents: Dark Vision, Limb Regeneration, Steel Bone, Extraordinary Strength, Weak Light, etc. Skills: Raging Fire, Fireball, Summoning Clone Evolution Path: In the next stage, the evolution needs: 100% length, 1 Soul Essence, 5 low-grade Dark Crystals. Chapter 21 I¡¯m Going to Die of Embarrassment The atmosphere in the cave suddenly changed and became a little solemn. Xu Gang and Su Wan¡¯er both noticed this. The two of them focused their senses and discovered that it was because the Golden Sparrow was motionless. However, after carefully observing for a long time, they could not find anything. The Golden Sparrow still had a blank expression and did not move. The only difference was that the feathers of the Golden Sparrow had become even brighter. Xu Gang frowned, then shook his head. Xu Kai looked impatient and frowned. ¡°Brother Xu, stop talking. Let¡¯s do it!¡± He was now waiting for Ye Fan to be beaten black and blue, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. Thinking of this scene, Xu Kai¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. Xu Gang didn¡¯t refute Xu Kai¡¯s words. Even if Ye Fan handed over the Fire Source Stone, they wouldn¡¯t let this matter rest. Xu Gang chuckled and waved his hand. ¡°Take care of their pets. Don¡¯t let them escape.¡± The group of people quickly agreed and immediately ordered their pets to attack. More than ten pet beasts charged at Ye Fan and Su Wan¡¯er. Seeing this, Su Wan¡¯er subconsciously clenched her fists. A trace of cold sweat seeped out of her fair forehead. The Sharp Thorn Dragon and the Rock Dragon also arrived in front of Su Wan¡¯er at the first moment. They roared at the enemies charging at them, prepared to fight. Only Ye Fan remained calm. At this moment, the Golden Sparrow had already stood in front of him and released raging flames. The cave immediately burned, followed by wails. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, it summoned four Golden Sparrow clones and released raging flames to block the enemy pets. Immediately after, the Golden Sparrow rushed out like lightning and released raging flames at the enemy pet beasts with the Golden Sparrow clones. As the Golden Sparrow¡¯s level continued to increase, the clones it summoned became stronger and stronger. Not only did it summon multiple clones, but their average level had also reached the intermediate level of Rank 2. Moreover, although the Golden Sparrow was only at the peak of Rank 2, its true strength had already reached Rank 3. The fireball instantly ignited the pet at the peak of the second rank. The flames quickly spread. Then, the pet at the peak of the second rank was burned alive. Their morale immediately plummeted. Xu Gang and the others were dumbfounded. ¡°How could this be?!¡± Xu Kai shouted in horror. Didn¡¯t Ye Fan only have a Rank-1 pet beast? How could he be so powerful? A pet at the peak of the second rank couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from this Golden Sparrow. This was unbelievable. At this moment, Xu Kai felt like he was dreaming. Xu Gang was about to question Xu Kai, but when he turned around and saw Xu Kai¡¯s dumbfounded expression, he suddenly realized everything and secretly cursed him for being an idiot. To take revenge without knowing the other party¡¯s strength was simply stupid. To be able to easily kill a pet at the peak of the second rank, this Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength had definitely reached the third rank. This was not the first rank pet that Xu Kai had mentioned. However, things had already come to this point. It was impossible to stop halfway. They could only do this. Fortunately, they were not helpless. Xu Gang¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sent out the Huge Claw Beast to protect him. This was a third-rank pet. Xu Gang had absolute confidence in his Huge Claw Beast. It was the strongest of his three pets, and he had spent the most effort and resources on it. Five skills and five talents. Although it was only at the lower level of the third rank, it could still fight against an intermediate Rank-3 pet. Although Ye Fan was very strong, he was still a student who had just entered the academy. To have a Rank-3 pet was already very impressive. How strong could the pet possibly be? Xu Gang felt that this was a good idea. He had enough confidence. He watched as the Huge Claw Beast charged towards the Golden Sparrow. Its sharp claws cut through the sky, bringing with them a sharp whistling sound. The Golden Sparrow dodged nimbly, and the Huge Claw Beast missed. Xu Gang was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect the Golden Sparrow to be able to dodge a third-rank pet¡¯s attack. The sudden change stunned the Huge Claw Beast. What kind of speed was this? It could even easily dodge the attack of a third-rank pet. What should he do? Chapter 22 Xu Kai¡¯s Death When they were deciding whether or not to make a move, Xu Gang and the others never thought that things would develop to such an extent. They originally thought that victory was a certainty, but there was a deviation from the beginning. After this metamorphosis, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s strength was simply shocking. This third-rank Huge Claw Beast could not do anything to the Golden Sparrow at all. The Golden Sparrow was too agile, and its attacks were useless. By Ye Fan¡¯s side, Su Wan¡¯er was already stunned by the scene in front of her. Not too long ago, this Golden Sparrow had only been able to gain the upper hand against a high-level Rank-2 Demonic Soul. How long had it been? It could easily kill a second-rank pet and even dodge the attack of a third-rank pet? This change was really unbelievable. ¡°Could it have evolved?¡± Recalling the strange aura from before, Su Wan¡¯er vaguely guessed something. That was the only explanation. ¡°However, this evolution is too ridiculous.¡± Su Wan¡¯er looked at Ye Fan and muttered to herself. She realized that she was getting more and more confused about this junior. Xu Gang, Xu Kai, and the others had already turned pale. Without the advantage of pets, they were no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, they looked terrified. As more and more pets were burned to death, their expressions became more and more ugly. ¡°No, there¡¯s definitely something wrong here. Ye Fan is just an ordinary person without any background. How could he have such a powerful pet beast!¡± Xu Kai muttered to himself, looking like he had lost his soul. Even now, he could not believe his eyes. After a while, Xu Kai suddenly let out a low roar. He angrily pointed at Ye Fan and issued an order to the Sol Rock Monster pet beside him. ¡°Kill him!¡± The Sol Rock Monster suddenly pounced at Ye Fan. Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s expression darkened. She wanted to order the Sharp Thorn Dragon to attack. But at this moment, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a gray figure rushing forward. It was the Cloud Mist Beast. It opened its mouth and a red light surged out. A ball of fire the size of a basketball formed in the air. A moment later, the fireball whistled out like a cannonball and accurately hit the Sol Rock Monster. Bang! With a loud bang, the Sol Rock Monster was blasted into pieces. Ye Fan indifferently glanced at it before looking away. The Sol Rock Monster was only a high-level Rank-1, so it was not difficult for the Cloud Mist Beast to kill it. Seeing his own pet being killed, Xu Kai¡¯s face immediately turned ashen. At this time, Ye Fan coldly glanced at him. Xu Kai¡¯s heart was filled with terror. He finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and let out a hysterical scream. Then, he suddenly turned around and fled inside of the cave. Seeing this, Xu Gang¡¯s face turned pale as he cursed. If not for the sake of avenging Xu Kai, they would not have fallen to this state. However, Xu Kai abandoned him and ran away. It was too depressing. Unexpectedly¡­ Ten seconds later, Xu Kai ran back to the cave in a panic, his face filled with fear. ¡°Demons! There are too many demons behind!¡± As soon as he said this, countless ogres suddenly surged out of the cave. They landed on all fours, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and charged at the hunters closest to them at lightning speed. ¡°Ogres!¡± ¡°Damn it, where did these demons come from?¡± ¡°Save, save me!¡± ¡°Go away!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± A scream sounded. The remaining people were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Before they could even release any attacks, the ogre bit the neck of one of them. Everyone was shocked. Their pets were still fighting in front of them. They didn¡¯t have any combat strength. In such an environment, they could not resist the attacks of the ogres at all. Blood radiated in all directions, and a strong smell of blood spread throughout the cave. ¡°It¡¯s those ogres. They¡¯re here again.¡± Su Wan¡¯er turned pale and looked away. Even if the hunters were after her, she still felt terrible seeing so many people killed. At this moment, the Golden Sparrow had already killed the Huge Claw Beast. The remaining pets were also severely injured. Seeing this, Ye Fan hurriedly called it back. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Fan gestured to Su Wan¡¯er. As for the slaughtered hunters¡­ he wouldn¡¯t help them. Their fate was up to them. However, it was almost impossible for them to survive without their pets. Seeing that Ye Fan and Su Wan¡¯er were about to leave, Xu Kai was scared out of his wits. ¡°Ye Fan, save me! I can give you a lot of money!¡± Ye Fan stopped, turned around, and sneered. Then, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Xu Kai¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of despair. A moment later. An ogre pushed him to the ground. Before his consciousness sank completely, the last picture that he saw in his life was a mouth filled with fangs. Chapter 23 Library of the Academy In the Land of Demonic Souls. Ye Fan turned to look at the cave entrance, then said to Su Wan¡¯er, ¡°Let¡¯s part ways here.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Su Wan¡¯er was startled. She hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to be so straightforward. By the time she reacted, Ye Fan had already left. ¡°Junior brother Ye Fan really is a decisive person,¡± Su Wan¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself. She paused for a moment before a smile appeared on her face. ¡°He¡¯s also handsome.¡± After walking for a while, Ye Fan summoned his Golden Sparrow and checked his new ability. Elementary Debuff Resistance : Increases one¡¯s resistance to various negative statuses and reduces their duration and damage. It can be subdivided into poison/stun/paralysis/shock/disease/fear/charm. Each attribute requires 100 evolution points to unlock. Roar of the Lion : Lets out a roar that contains a soul attack and causes mental damage to the enemy. There is a certain probability of freezing the enemy to the numb state (depending on the difference in strength). It requires 150 evolution points to unlock. In this evolution, he had gained the same talents and skills. Each unlock of the resistance required 700 evolution points. ¡°This is a huge amount of evolution points.¡± Ye Fan clicked his tongue. The remaining 73 evolution points weren¡¯t enough to unlock any of them. Therefore, he decided to keep them for now. ¡­ The next morning, Ye Fan entered the academy¡¯s library. The first and second floors were open to the public. Whether it was students or teachers, they could read on the first and second floors. As for the third floor and above, he would have to ask for his teacher¡¯s permission. Ye Fan¡¯s goal was to find more about the soul technique on the second floor. There were two ways to cultivate soul techniques. They could choose to study the soul arts in classes provided by the academy, or they could borrow relevant books to study on their own. Ye Fan decided to use the latter. After all, he still didn¡¯t know when his soul arts class would begin, so he couldn¡¯t just sit and wait. Following the labels on the bookshelf, Ye Fan quickly found the book he needed. ¡°Soul Protection¡± was the most basic defensive soul technique. This book wasn¡¯t too thick, only about a dozen pages. Ye Fan decided to just read it without sitting down. Actually, the students from Beast Tamer families would pick up some basic defensive soul techniques before entering the academy. It was impossible for ordinary students with no background to come into contact with them before entering the Beast Tamer Academy. Roughly thirty minutes later, Ye Fan closed the book and began to recall. He was surprised to find that he could actually remember the contents of this book. At the same time, he also understood some of the principles behind soul arts. ¡°Is this the benefit of transmigration?¡± ¡°I think I should be able to do something with the soul technique.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately opened his system interface. Name: Ye Fan Grade: Peak, Rank 2 Soul Power: 500 Soul Skill: Soul Protection Level 1 (0/10) Pets: Gold Sparrow, Cloud Mist Beast Evolution Points: 73 ¡°As expected.¡± Ye Fan faintly smiled. This way, his soul technique would become easier. As long as he read carefully, he would naturally be able to completely master it. ¡°In addition, my evolution points can also be invested into it.¡± Ye Fan raised his Soul Protection to Level 2 by throwing ten evolution points into it. Soul Protection Level 2 (0/30) . Another 30 evolution points. Soul Protection Level 3 (0/50) Ye Fan only stopped when he ran out of evolution points. Soon after, Ye Fan also learned two soul arts. One was the Soul Chain, and the other was the Soul Impact. The first one was a control-type soul technique. It was a chain that could gather soul power together. It could be used to help his pet beast fight. And Soul Impact was an offensive soul technique. Its effect was to gather his soul power together to form a shock wave that could attack the enemy from afar. These two were the most practical and basic soul techniques. ¡°I can already use them in a fight now.¡± Ye Fan conveniently raised his Soul Chain and Soul Impact to LV2, spending a total of 20 evolution points. After doing this, he walked out of the library. ¡°What I need to do now is to let this Cloud Mist Beast reach 100% growth and let it evolve into Hellfire.¡± According to his judgment, this Hellfire should be Rank 3. As long as it evolved, it could become Rank 3. Ye Fan¡¯s heart was burning. Just as he was about to leave the library, his phone suddenly rang. Ye Fan took out his phone and saw an invitation. Chen Xin had sent an invitation. Ye Fan recalled that when Chen Xin had come to the Land of Demonic Souls, she had said she wanted to set up a chat group. ¡°You¡¯re fast.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t object. Perhaps he could find some useful information in this group. ¡°Ye Fan, from West Eagle Academy¡¯s Class A, has joined the group chat!¡± Luo Xiaohui: Damn, Boss Ye is here. Please come in! Chen Xin: ¡°Hehe, I invited him.¡± Wu Yueting: ¡°I¡¯ll have to ask Ye Fan to take care of me in the future.¡± Ye Fan: ¡­ Chen Xin: ¡°Ye Fan, you have an actual combat class tomorrow. Remember to come.¡± Combat class? Ye Fan opened the curriculum. Sure enough, he saw the combat class tomorrow. This was an extremely-rare compulsory course. Ye Fan: ¡°Alright, thank you for your reminder.¡± Chapter 24 Stay Alert The next day. Ye Fan arrived at the classroom early in the morning. This was the first time he had come here since the start of school. Many of his classmates were already sitting in their own seats, chatting and laughing. When Ye Fan entered, everyone who had been chatting immediately quietened down. Everyone¡¯s gazes fell on Ye Fan, some curious, some envious. After this entrance examination, Ye Fan¡¯s name had resounded like thunder. It wasn¡¯t just the freshmen, even the seniors had heard of Ye Fan¡¯s name too. This year¡¯s freshmen all knew that there was a talented Ye Fan who could summon a powerful pet beast. Ye Fan ignored everyone¡¯s gazes and casually sat down in an empty seat. Just as he sat down, he saw a figure flash past him. Afterwards, a faint fragrance assaulted his nose. Ye Fan turned around and saw Chen Xin smiling brightly, her eyes shining. ¡°Good morning, Ye Fan.¡± ¡°Morning, Chen Xin.¡± Ye Fan gave her a simple greeting. Chen Xin immediately said, ¡°I heard that we¡¯re going to undergo actual combat training in the Vicious Wasteland.¡± ¡°South?¡± Ye Fan nodded, not really surprised. The south of An City was not too far from here. The monsters there were very concentrated, similar to those on the Ancient Battlefield. It was the best place to train. The two of them exchanged a few words before Ding Shengxin walked in. ¡°Everyone, return to your seats. It¡¯s time for class.¡± Ding Shengxin walked up to the podium and looked at the nineteen people in the classroom. He frowned slightly. This morning, he received a call. Xu Kai, his student, had fallen in the Land of Demonic Souls. When they found his body, they found that he had been torn to pieces by the ogres. Although accidental deaths of Beast Tamers were not uncommon during training and adventures, this had happened not long after school started, which made Ding Shengxin feel a little down. He shook his head. He didn¡¯t want to think about this. ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone has heard of it.¡± ¡°We will conduct some combat lessons in the wilderness to train your combat ability and teamwork.¡± Whispers broke out in the classroom. Many of them looked excited and expectant. This was a real battle. Unlike in the assessment back then, this time, they would be fighting for real. Anyone who became a Beast Tamer would hunt monsters, tame stronger pets, and reach higher realms. The real battle was the beginning. Many students were rubbing their fists, eager to try. Ye Fan calmly sat there, without the slightest bit of fluctuation in his heart. Over the past few days, he had killed countless monsters, including some commander-level monsters. To him, the combat class was like a game. Making a shushing gesture, Ding Shengxin continued, ¡°The battle outside is not ordinary. If we¡¯re not careful, our lives will be in danger. Under such circumstances, we have to be careful.¡± ¡°So, defensive soul techniques are necessary. Who hasn¡¯t learned them yet?¡± No one spoke. ¡°Very good.¡± Ding Shengxin nodded in satisfaction. After all, they were all the best students. In just a few days, they had already learned the defensive soul technique. ¡°Everyone, to the school gate. There will be a bus waiting for you.¡± The students did as he said. Ten minutes passed. Ding Shengxin and the Class A students got on the bus and headed out of the city. Chen Xin was quick-witted. As soon as Ye Fan sat down, she snatched the seat next to him. Quite a few girls around her regretted that they weren¡¯t fast enough, while those boys looked at him enviously. But this couldn¡¯t be helped. After all, Ye Fan was the King of Freshmen. Most importantly, his face was very handsome. It was no wonder these girls had a good impression of Ye Fan. For safety reasons, Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin personally led the team. These two people happened to be the teachers of the assessment. Soon, the bus left An City. The scenery outside the window also changed from a street filled with tall buildings to an endless wilderness. Not long after, the bus stopped at a sentry post. Ding Shengxin got off the bus and informed the few officers who came to inquire. Then, he turned around and gestured for them to enter. ¡°Two kilometers ahead is the Vicious Wasteland.¡± ¡°On the way, we will encounter some monsters. You have to be careful and vigilant.¡± Of course, it was impossible for 19 people to form one team. They had to form squads in twos and threes and fight together. ¡°Ye Fan, you and I will join hands.¡± Chen Xin didn¡¯t wait for the other girls to speak. Ye Fan had no objections and nodded. A smile flashed across Chen Xin¡¯s eyes. Chapter 25 Killing Frenzy The group divided into several teams and set off for the Vicious Wasteland. The name of the Vicious Wasteland originated from ferocious creatures that lived here. These creatures were very brutal. In the wilderness, they would take the initiative to attack humans. After walking past the sentry post, everyone summoned their pets and released defensive soul spells. Instantly, beams of light lit up in the crowd. A faint layer of light enveloped each student. In front of them, one could vaguely see a shield-shaped rune. They were all Soul Protection. This was the most basic type of defensive soul technique. ¡°Eh?¡± At this time, the girl closest to Ye Fan suddenly let out a startled cry, staring at the thin membrane covering his body. ¡°Ye Fan, your Soul Protection seems a bit different from ours.¡± Everyone looked at Ye Fan, only to see three runes flickering on his chest. ¡°How come Ye Fan has two more shields?¡± ¡°Could it be another defensive soul technique?¡± ¡°No, this is Soul Protection. Although other defensive soul techniques are very powerful, it¡¯s impossible to protect you in all aspects like now.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone was talking at once. Ding Shengxin sensed the situation and walked forward to explain to everyone. ¡°The power of the Soul Protection will increase with your cultivation. Its function is to increase the number of runes on your shield. The number of runes on your shield means the layers of defense you have.¡± Ding Shengxin looked at Ye Fan with incomparable shock. He had already investigated Ye Fan¡¯s background. He was an orphan. Since he was sixteen, he had lived on the state¡¯s allowance and had never come into contact with soul magic. In other words, Ye Fan had never learned Soul Protection until he entered the academy. In just a few short days, he had already cultivated Soul Protection to the point where he could condense three shield runes. No wonder he had blown up the testing device. This talent was truly too terrifying. Hearing Ding Shengxin¡¯s words, everyone looked at Ye Fan in shock. Chen Xin¡¯s eyes also lit up. She was from a Beast Tamer family and had been learning Soul Protection since she became an adult. Even so, she could only condense two shield runs. Compared to Ye Fan, the difference was like heaven and earth. However, Chen Xin wasn¡¯t jealous. On the contrary, she admired Ye Fan¡¯s excellence. She felt happy for him¡­ Chen Xin was suddenly enlightened, and her face reddened as she secretly glanced at Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn¡¯t notice what she was doing. He entered a state of epiphany. ¡°So the number of runes on this shield is based on the level of your soul art.¡± Fortunately, his soul defense was Lv3, so he had three runes on him. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go.¡± Ding Shengxin clapped his hands, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. The group moved on. In the tense and burning atmosphere, they encountered the first creatures. This was a pack of Vicious Spotted Wolves. The mature Violent Spotted Wolf was the size of a calf. Its entire body was light gray, and its skin was covered in fist-sized spots. Its strength was probably at the intermediate stage of Rank 1. More than twenty Vicious Spotted Wolves crawled out of the ground and rushed towards the group. The students¡¯ expressions changed. They hurriedly instructed their pets to prepare for battle. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was listless. After experiencing so many battles on the Ancient Battlefield and the Land of Demonic Souls, he really wasn¡¯t interested in such a small scene. Furthermore, the Vicious Spotted Wolves¡¯ rank was much lower than the Gold Sparrow and the Cloud Mist Beast. These twenty or so Vicious Spotted Wolves in front of him probably wouldn¡¯t even yield 1% growth. He really didn¡¯t have any motivation. ¡°Ding¡­ New mission received.¡± ¡± Killing Frenzy : Kill 1,000 ferocious creatures. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to slack off, he received a mission. Wasn¡¯t this system really good at finding time? Although Ye Fan wasn¡¯t too intrigued, he didn¡¯t hesitate to order, ¡°Golden Sparrow, kill those Vicious Spotted Wolves.¡± The Golden Sparrow, who had been standing still, suddenly erupted. The surrounding students felt their vision blur. The Golden Sparrow had already rushed in front of the Vicious Spotted Wolves. Its agile speed was displayed vividly at this moment. The two Vicious Spotted Wolves at the front collided with the Golden Sparrow at an even faster speed. Then, the Golden Sparrow released a raging fire that burned the battlefield into a sea of fire. The two Vicious Spotted Wolves were burned to death before they could attack. However, the Golden Sparrow did not stop at all. It continued to release raging flames. The Vicious Spotted Wolves were instantly afraid. Before they could catch their breath, the flames had already spread to them. In an instant, more than twenty Vicious Spotted Wolves were burned alive. The Golden Sparrow stood among the pile of corpses without any injuries. There was dead silence. Everyone was dumbfounded. Chapter 26 Too Abnormal Everyone had heard of Ye Fan¡¯s strength during the entrance test. His pets could easily kill many targets in the assessment. However, these Vicious Spotted Wolves could not be compared to the mummies in the assessment. The Vicious Spotted Wolves were even stronger. Even so, more than twenty Vicious Spotted Wolves were easily killed. This had already exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. ¡°Gulp.¡± After a long time, the sound of swallowing could be heard. As if they had triggered some mechanism, everyone was in an uproar. ¡°Damn, that¡¯s awesome.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t even defeat a single one of the twenty Vicious Spotted Wolves.¡± ¡°Brother Ye seems to have improved again.¡± ¡°Sigh, the difference between people is too great.¡± Everyone discussed spiritedly, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Ye Fan. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng looked at each other. Class A was one of the best in the entire grade. However, most of the students were at the intermediate level of Rank 1. With Xu Kai¡¯s death, Chen Xin was left alone. But Ye Fan was different from others. Judging from the speed at which the Golden Sparrow killed the Vicious Spotted Wolves, this pet was definitely at the peak of the first rank. It was probably already a Rank-2. He had already left everyone behind. This was too unbelievable. ¡°This guy¡¯s strength has increased so quickly. It hasn¡¯t been long since the assessment started.¡± Ding Shengxin sighed. Qin Feng nodded in agreement. This was the so-called genius. At this moment. In the distance, another pack of Vicious Spotted Wolves appeared. Everyone was on high alert, ready to fight. Whoosh! The sound of wind roaring echoed! The Golden Sparrow once again unleashed a raging fire that quickly burned the Vicious Spotted Wolves to ashes. Ding Shengxin was speechless. Qin Feng: ¡°¡­¡± The students: ¡°¡­¡± ¡®You killed all the Vicious Spotted Wolves. Then what¡¯s the point of us being here?¡¯ Unfortunately, Ye Fan turned a blind eye to their resentment. He happily had the Golden Sparrow kill a group of Vicious Spotted Wolves. The students could no longer hold back. They looked at Ye Fan, almost crying. Can¡¯t we just get along? You¡¯re stealing all the limelight. Ding Shengxin could not take it anymore. ¡°Ye Fan, why don¡¯t you rest for a while? Don¡¯t tire yourself out.¡± The boys around him nodded. Yes, Ye Fan, you should rest first. You just need to clean these up. Ye Fan shook his head. ¡°Mr. Ding, I¡¯m not tired. Thank you for your concern.¡± However, he also understood that he could not go too far. Therefore, along the way, he only attacked half of the wild wolves. The rest were used as sparring partners by the others. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng did not say anything else. In the depths of the wasteland. Soon, they encountered another ferocious creature. This was a low-level Rank-1 gregarious animal called the Violent Rat. Although the Violent Rat was only a low-level Rank-1 creature, it was far more dangerous than the Vicious Spotted Wolves. Because every time, the Violent Rats would come in groups. At most, there would be hundreds or even thousands of them. It was a nightmare for the new students. If they encountered it, they could only pray that they could escape. Hundreds of Violent Rats gathered together and pounced forward like a black flood. It was getting closer and closer. Even their sharp fangs could be seen. This was the first time the students of Class A had seen such a scene. They were instantly in an uproar. Ding Shengxin spoke at the right time. ¡°Calm down, don¡¯t panic. Those who know soul techniques and long-range attacks can attack first.¡± Everyone quietened down. Seven or eight students all took action. In an instant, countless long-range attacks killed the Violent Rats that were charging over. Chen Xin¡¯s soul power attack especially attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The invisible soul power was compressed, forming a spiral air wave that swept out at an extremely fast speed. It landed in the rat tide and instantly exploded. The impact killed three to four Violent Rats on the spot. ¡°Amazing!¡± A student exclaimed. Just at this moment, Ye Fan moved. He attacked just like she did, but the shock wave this time was even thicker. Wherever it passed, the air was clearly distorted. Then, as everyone watched in shock, the shock wave exploded from the rats. More than ten Violent Rats were torn apart before they could even scream. The student who was exclaiming earlier was now dumbfounded and did not recover for a long time. The others were even more dumbfounded. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng also gasped. Ye Fan¡¯s soul power attack clearly surpassed Chen Xin¡¯s. How unbelievable was this? Chen Xin came from a Beast Tamer family and had learned Soul Protection and Soul Energy attacks for a long time. But when this scene happened to Ye Fan, they were all shocked. That was not all. He could actually cultivate his soul power to such an extent. How shocking was this? It had only been a few days since he entered the academy. He could comprehend and master it in a day. This guy was really too abnormal. Chapter 27 Shocked Everyone was shocked. Ye Fan was already prepared for his second attack. He took the time to scan the panel. Thirty points of Soul Power were gone. ¡°The consumption is too high.¡± When he was a Rank-1 Beast Tamer, he only had a hundred points of soul power, which were only enough for him to use three times. Fortunately, after advancing to the second rank, Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Power had increased to 500 points, enough to support his consumption. However, the consumption of Soul Protection was very high. The defensive barrier required at least 20 points of Soul Power. Then, it would become stronger as Soul Power was continuously injected into it. Logically speaking, if there was enough Soul Power, it was impossible for this defensive barrier to be broken. After two seconds, Ye Fan once more released a Soul Power shock wave, instantly killing a dozen Violent Rats. Ye Fan didn¡¯t stop, using it again and again. By the time they collided with pets, Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Power had already been released five times, killing a total of eighty to ninety Violent Rats. He had killed nearly a quarter of the Violent Rats alone. The surrounding students were already shocked speechless, all of them blankly staring at Ye Fan. Ding Shengxin, Qin Feng, and Chen Xin, who were experienced and knowledgeable, felt their minds go blank. Among all the people here, they were the most familiar with Soul Power attacks. They knew very well how much this soul technique consumed. Ordinary Rank-1 Beast Tamers could only use it three times at most. There was only two types of people that could surpass that. Either they had taken a heavenly treasure that could increase one¡¯s soul power, or¡­ they had broken through to Rank 2. Which kind was Ye Fan? Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng looked at each other. The probability of an orphan like Ye Fan eating a heavenly treasure was practically negligible. However, they didn¡¯t dare to believe the other possibility. After all, a new student who wasn¡¯t even twenty years old was already a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. This was truly inconceivable. At this moment, Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were at a loss. Chen Xin came back to her senses and looked at Ye Fan with flickering eyes. As time passed, it was more and more clear how outstanding and powerful Ye Fan was. The intense battle had caused everyone to come back to their senses. The number of Violent Rats had greatly decreased, making them easy to deal with. They held on. Even if there were some who slipped through the net, under the dual protection of Soul Protection and Soul Power attacks, they were unable to cause any damage to the Beast Tamers behind them. Ten minutes passed. More than half of the Violent Rats were dead or injured, and the victory of the battle was gradually tilting towards Class A. But at this moment, a large number of Violent Rats appeared from afar. The Violent Rats rushed over at breakneck speed. This time, there were thousands of them. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s expressions changed. With so many Violent Rats, it would be troublesome if they got close. No matter how strong they were, they could not guarantee their safety. The two of them made a prompt decision and summoned their pets to intercept the rats on the way. As teachers of the West Eagle Academy, Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were very strong. Some Violent Rats were not a problem at all. However, just as they relaxed, more Violent Rats appeared from afar. They were densely packed and seemed endless. There were tens of thousands of them. Just looking at them made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°Rat tide!¡± ¡°No way, there¡¯s still some time before the rats erupt!¡± The students also noticed this scene and their faces turned pale. ¡°Oh my god, this is a rat tide!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Oh God!¡± At this moment, everyone was stunned. ¡°Run!¡± Panic instantly spread in the entire crowd. Ding Shengxin quickly stopped him. ¡°Calm down, calm down!¡± ¡°Everyone, listen up. Let¡¯s retreat to the hill over there.¡± Following Ding Shengxin¡¯s finger, they saw a small mountain more than three hundred meters away. The front of the small mountain was slightly dented. If they went there, what they needed to do was to resist the frontal attack. This was a natural shelter defense. In fact, there was nothing else he could do. Even if there were flying pets, it was impossible to send so many students away. Racing against Violent Rats in the wilderness was simply a fantasy. The only thing he could do was stand by. Under the guidance of the two teachers, although the students were a little flustered, they walked up the hill in an orderly manner. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s pets immediately formed a defensive formation in front of the small mountain. As for the other students¡¯ pets, they also defended themselves. At this moment, the rat tide had already approached in front of them and slammed into their defense line. A fierce battle instantly erupted. The pets of these two teachers were much stronger than the Violent Rats. With a casual wave of their hands, twenty to thirty Violent Rats died. However, there were too many of them. There were always some places that some Violent Rats slipped through. As for those which escaped, the students could only deal with them themselves. In that case, the Golden Sparrow finally found an opportunity to attack. It alone blocked all the Violent Rats. The raging flames were vividly displayed at this moment. At this moment, everyone understood. This pet was at the second rank. ¡°Rank 2¡­ Ye Fan is indeed a Rank-2 Beast Tamer.¡± Ding Shengxin sucked in a breath of cold air. All the students were shocked. ¡°I¡¯m so envious of second-rank pets.¡± ¡°Brother Ye is awesome.¡± ¡°I really hope I can become a Rank-2 Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°So awesome.¡± Chapter 28 Hellfire Minutes ticked by. More Violent Rats passed the line of defense. The pressure was building. The pets were barely holding up. Ye Fan made up his mind. The Golden Sparrow began to summon its clones. These were clones! Six intermediate Rank-2 Gold Sparrows walked out from the void. Instantly, the originally shaky situation was stabilized. ¡°This is¡­ clone summoning?!¡± Ding Shengxin looked at the Golden Sparrow in shock. Summoning clones was a high-level skill. Only a very small number of pets with extremely high potential could use it. Even the Grave Wizard could only summon a low-level Rank-1 clone. As for Ye Fan¡¯s pet, the clones it summoned were clearly all Rank 2. This was simply shocking. ¡°Rank 2¡­Ye Fan really gave me a huge shock,¡± Ding Shengxin muttered to himself. When the surrounding students heard this, their eyes went wide. They had never imagined that Ye Fan¡¯s pet could actually summon clones whose rank was even higher than their pets. Was it really that unbelievable? Ye Fan ignored everyone¡¯s reactions and directly summoned the Cloud Mist Beast. Seeing this, Ding Shengxin was also startled. He wasn¡¯t surprised by Ye Fan having a second pet. He had already expected this when he found that Ye Fan had already reached the second rank. The reason he was shocked was that Ye Fan¡¯s second pet was actually a Cloud Mist Beast. The Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s battle power was very strong, but its potential was very low among the second rank. This Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s ultimate form was only lower-level Rank 3. With Ye Fan¡¯s talent and aptitude, he should definitely choose a better beast. ¡°Could it be because of money?¡± Ding Shengxin shook his head helplessly. Seriously? Rank-2 Beast Tamers could easily earn money. Ding Shengxin was puzzled. The Cloud Mist Beast had already rushed to the front and started to kill. After all, it was an intermediate pet of the second rank. It was a piece of cake to deal with these Violent Rats. BANG! Balls of flames shot out of the Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s mouth and landed in the group of rats. Immediately, dozens of Violent Rats were drowned by the flames. On the other side, three or four Violent Rats attacked from behind. When the Violent Rats touched the Cloud Mist Beast, they directly passed through the air. Half-Void Body. This was a special talent of the Cloud Mist Beast. The Violent Rats couldn¡¯t do anything to it at all. Instead, it was burned to ashes by the Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s flames. At this moment, wherever the Cloud Mist Beast went, there was no obstruction. In just a moment, hundreds of Violent Rats were burned to death. Ye Fan took some time to check his system interface. The Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s Growth had reached 24%. However, this was all because it had killed plenty of monsters in the Land of Demonic Souls. Although there were many Violent Rats, their levels were very low and they did not contribute much. The growth from killing more than a hundred Violent Rats was not even 1%. Ye Fan¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t just to increase its growth. There was something else. As time passed, more and more Violent Rats were killed by the Golden Sparrow and the Cloud Mist Beast. Ye Fan finally received a message. ¡°Mission Killing Frenzy completed. Reward: 200 evolution points.¡± It was finally over. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He was surprised. In the next second, the system notification appeared again. ¡°Ding¡­ System prompt.¡± ¡± Violent Slaughterer : Hunt 10,000 Violent Creatures. Reward: 500 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan was somewhat surprised. This was¡­ a new mission? He had just finished hunting and had to hunt again. But anyway, it was always good to have a mission. Ye Fan came back to his senses. ¡°With these evolution points, I can definitely raise the Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s growth to the maximum.¡± Without any hesitation, Ye Fan used the remaining evolution points, planning to increase the Cloud Mist Beast¡¯s growth to the maximum. At this point, all the conditions were met. ¡°Overlord. The next step of Hellfire requires 100% growth, 1 Fire Source Stone, and 5 secondary fire crystals.¡± In the Land of Demonic Souls, he had already collected the Fire Source Stone. He had already purchased the secondary fire type crystals. Everything was ready. Without any hesitation, Ye Fan directly chose to evolve. The Cloud Mist Beast that was fighting fiercely suddenly stopped. The mist around its body rolled, like a drop of red ink falling into clear water. A glaring red color spread from its body at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the redness covered its entire body. A moment later, a scorching flame suddenly exploded. With the Cloud Mist Beast as the core, it quickly spread out in all directions. The surrounding dozens of Violent Rats didn¡¯t even have time to scream before they were directly swallowed by this power and turned into ashes. The flames gradually dissipated. On the empty wasteland, a huge fireball more than a hundred centimeters in diameter hovered four or five meters above the ground. Its eyes were black, looking down at the Violent Rats. The corners of its mouth curled up in a strange arc, as if it was smiling. The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur. The temperature suddenly rose. This scene immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. When they saw the huge fireball, Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Hellfire!¡± Chapter 29 How Strong Is He? ¡°That¡¯s¡­ Hellfire?!¡± Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng looked at the huge flame in shock. This was a very rare pet. Although it was at the third rank, in terms of strength and potential, it was an outstanding pet at the third rank. It was rumored that those with the greatest potential could reach rank eight or nine. Unfortunately, the previous evolution was a mystery to everyone. They didn¡¯t know what kind of Hellfire it was. Many people even thought that this was the embryonic form of Hellfire. But that was what happened. The Cloud Mist Beast had evolved into Hellfire. And there was more than one person who saw it. They had never heard that the Cloud Mist Beast could evolve. The most magical thing was that it even evolved into Hellfire. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng looked at each other. They knew very well that this was simply a huge surprise. If this news spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the pet world. After all¡­ This was a completely different path. There was only one uncertainty. Did Ye Fan know of this method? Or was it just a coincidence? It was very common for a pet beast to transform into another form in battle. Many pet beasts relied on this method to find their own path of evolution. In that case, how did Ye Fan know? The more Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng thought about it, the more confused they became. Their eyes were filled with doubt as they looked at Ye Fan. At this moment, Ye Fan gave them an indescribable feeling. On the other side, the students who saw this were also shocked. ¡°This is¡­ evolution?¡± ¡°What the hell is that big fireball?¡± ¡°Could it be a new species?¡± ¡°Looks pretty strong.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t guess blindly. This is Hellfire!¡± Everyone was stunned at first, then there was an uproar. Young Beast Tamers would especially like those mysterious and powerful pets. Hellfire was one of the few pets in the third rank with great potential. Many students knew about it. When they heard that this fireball was the legendary Hellfire, everyone was shocked. Then, intense jealousy followed. ¡°So, so powerful¡­¡± Chen Xin stared at Ye Fan and muttered. After the evolution of Hellfire, he naturally became a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. After becoming a Rank-3 Beast Tamer, Ye Fan¡¯s strength also advanced by leaps and bounds. How long had it been? This speed of improvement was simply shocking. Compared to this, she, who had been called a genius, was simply insignificant. Chen Xin had mixed feelings. Ye Fan had no time to care about the others¡¯ expressions. He was completely focused on his Hellfire. Name: Hellfire Nature: Fire Grade: Rank 3, Intermediate Growth: 0% Talents: Intermediate Fire Resistance, Half-Void Body Skills: Fireball, Flame Breath, Flame Explosion Evolution Path: the next stage requires: 100% growth, 1 Golden Flame Stone, 10 low-level fire crystals. Three good skills, and its fire resistance had increased from low to intermediate. Talents to be unlocked Flame Condensation: A ball of flames condensed from fire. When it hits the target, it will cause a huge explosion, forming a large-scale fire shock wave. Skills to be unlocked Fire Exhaling: Spits out a flame wave that burns the surrounding enemies. Self-destruction : At the cost of sacrificing your life, release all your energy in an instant. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. All three techniques were powerful, especially the third. Although it would cost the pet its life, if he used it well, it would be a trump card at a critical moment. Ye Fan was delighted and continued reading. Unlocked Talents Flame Absorption : Absorbs fire elements to heal injuries. Unlock with 200 evolution points. Unlocked Skills Flame Assault: Charges at high speed with a flaming body, causing a huge impact and burning effect on the enemy. Requires 100 evolution points to unlock. Flame Pillar: Releases a pillar of fire to any enemy within a 30-meter radius, dealing a certain amount of damage. Requires 100 evolution points to unlock. After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan didn¡¯t directly unlock them. He raised his head and looked at the Hellfire in front of him. Now let me see how strong my Hellfire is, he thought. Up in the sky, Hellfire roared, and a deep red flame burst from its mouth. The fireball grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it was a rock. Then, like a shooting star, it slammed into the place where the Violent Rats were most gathered. The fire exploded! BANG! With a loud bang, raging flames instantly swept out, burning all the surrounding Violent Rats to death and turning them into ashes. With one move, hundreds of Violent Rats were burned to ashes until the dust settled. The ground was already charred black. A large portion of the densely packed Violent Rats had been forcefully cut off. The empty space was so eye-catching. The group of people was dumbfounded and their mouths were dry. They were speechless for a long time. Chapter 30 Killing the Rat King The battle ahead had reached the most intense phase. Shouts and screams rose and fell. But in the behind, silence reigned. All the students gaped, their minds blank. After a long time, everyone finally reacted. ¡°So, so powerful!¡± ¡°Damn, what is this? It¡¯s so powerful.¡± ¡°So many Violent Rats¡­ died just like that?¡± ¡°As expected of a third-rank pet.¡± Exclamations rang out. All the students looked at Ye Fan and the Hellfire with deep reverence. Just how terrifying was this power? Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were also shocked. As expected of the top combat strength and potential among Rank-3s. The power of this move was obvious. Bang! There was another loud bang. As if announcing its joy and excitement after evolution, the Hellfire attacked the Violent Rats with flames. Fireballs bombarded the places where the Violent Rats were the densest. Occasionally, it would swoop down and spit out flames. Flame Breath! A large number of Violent Rats died in the flames of Hellfire. On the contrary, the Violent Rats weren¡¯t able to cause any damage to the Hellfire. Seeing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly. Under such circumstances, the Hellfire¡¯s area of effect techniques were simply unstoppable. This was the most suitable for leveling up. In just a short moment, he had killed over a thousand Violent Rats. It probably wouldn¡¯t take long for him to complete his mission. ¡°But the rats this time are too terrifying.¡± Ye Fan glanced over. Although they had killed many Violent Rats, they still could not see the end. No one knew if they could last until reinforcements arrived. In fact, Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin had the same question. This time, the rat tide came too suddenly. There was definitely something wrong. Logically speaking, this wouldn¡¯t happen in this season. Ye Fan didn¡¯t think too much about it. There was no point in thinking too much at all. It was better to kill more Violent Rats and finish this mission as soon as possible. After the Golden Sparrow displayed its might, it had already been transferred to the front. The remaining clones were supporting the other students. In the end, the Golden Sparrow released fire after fire. The poor Violent Rats couldn¡¯t even dodge the Golden Sparrow¡¯s fire. Facing the raging fire, the Violent Rats dodged everywhere, unable to attack the Golden Sparrow. The pet¡¯s shocking performance attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Everyone was dumbfounded. How ruthless! Even Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s pets were far inferior to this pet. If there were too many ants, they could wear an elephant out to death. Their pets might be strong, but they were no match for the Golden Sparrow or Hellfire, which had no fear of the rats. In battle, their movements were severely restricted. Time passed second by second. As time passed, more and more Violent Rats were killed by Hellfire and Golden Sparrow. Just as Ye Fan estimated that his mission was about eighty percent complete, the group of Violent Rats suddenly descended into chaos. Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. In the distance, figures could be vaguely seen. Those were all ox-like giant Violent Rats with sinister expressions. They were elite Violent Rats. However, the most eye-catching thing was a larger one with shiny fur that was surrounded by other giant Violent Rats. This was the leader of the rat tide. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng¡¯s expressions sank. The Violent Rat King¡¯s arrival meant that the rats would attack even more fiercely. Sure enough, after a short pause, the densely packed Violent Rats pounced at them crazily. The first layer of defense immediately swayed. ¡°It¡¯s not going to be easy!¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. ¡°We have to think of a way to kill this Violent Rat King. Otherwise, those pets won¡¯t be able to last long.¡± Qin Feng shook his head and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking too, but there¡¯s nothing we can do.¡± ¡°The Violent Rat King is very cunning. As long as we show any signs of killing it, it will immediately escape.¡± ¡°Besides¡­¡± Qin Feng looked at the densely packed Violent Rats in front of him. He did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious. There were so many Violent Rats in the way. How could they break through their blockade and get close to the Violent Rat King? Ding Shengxin¡¯s expression was uncertain. After a long while, he let out a long sigh. ¡°If we kill that Violent Rat, will they retreat?¡± At this moment, a faint voice sounded from the side. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng looked over and saw that Ye Fan had already walked over. ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Qin Feng looked at Ye Fan, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Fan¡¯s gaze land on the Violent Rat King. On the other side, the Hellfire made a turn in the air and suddenly accelerated. Like a meteorite, it smashed fiercely onto the Violent Rat King. Chapter 31 Terrifying Explosion ¡°Well¡­¡± Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were enlightened. What Ye Fan wanted to deal with was the Violent Rat King. The two of them bitterly smiled in their hearts. Although this Hellfire was powerful, it was only at the third rank. Even their pets didn¡¯t have the confidence to win against the Violent Rat King, not to mention a Rank-3 one. The biggest problem now was how to kill the Violent Rat King before it escaped. If we really reach a dead end, we can only rush out, Saint Ding thought to himself. If they continued to stay here, they would only die. Once they broke through, they would be caught by the rats. However, if they could encounter other hunters or adventurers, they might have a chance of survival. Ding Shengxin quickly made up his mind. Just as he was about to speak, a miserable scream came from afar. It was the Violent Rat King. Just as Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin had said, the Violent Rat King was too cowardly. When it saw the Hellfire coming at it, it turned around and ran without a word. At the same time, it also had the Violent Rats guarding nearby rush forward to stop the Hellfire. However, it was useless. The Hellfire flashed and appeared in front of the Violent Rat King in an instant, with its mouth raised high, revealing a strange smile. A moment later. A blazing power suddenly spread out, enveloping an area of a hundred meters. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, a dazzling light erupted from Hellfire. It was like a small sun. Then, there was a loud bang. BOOM! The violent shock wave, mixed with raging flames, spread in all directions. Like a tornado, it swallowed everything around, including even the fleeing Violent Rat King. Within a hundred meters, all the Violent Rats were drowned by the burning flames before they could let out a scream. The flames soared into the sky, dyeing the entire sky red as if it was the end of the world. The smoke gradually dissipated, and a huge pit appeared in front of them. The Violent Rats in the cave had disappeared without a trace. Not even a trace of flesh was left. What was left behind was a charred land. The group of students stared at the scene with their mouths agape. This felt like a dream, and their minds went blank. Only when the Violent Rats squeaked and fled in all directions did they come back to their senses, their faces filled with shock. ¡°W-What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°What a terrifying attack.¡± ¡°So many Violent Rats, they were killed just like that¡­¡± ¡°Am I seeing things?¡± Everyone looked at Ye Fan in disbelief. Although they had already seen Ye Fan¡¯s strength many times, Ye Fan¡¯s performance had shocked them. This kind of power¡­ had already surpassed the standards of a new student. As students, they found it a bit strenuous to deal with one high-level Rank-1 Violent Rat. But Ye Fan was able to instantly kill over a thousand Violent Rats with a single move. The difference between them was truly too great. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were also shocked. They had never seen such a terrifying skill. Even a fifth or sixth-rank pet might not be able to do such a thing. A third-rank pet had the power of a fifth or sixth-rank pet. That was unbelievable. ¡°Could it be that it figured out the skill by itself?¡± Ding Shengxin stared blankly at the huge pit. At a glance, he felt that something was wrong. The Hellfire had disappeared. Qin Feng could see it too. The two of them looked at each other in realization. ¡°This should be an ability of self-destruction.¡± ¡°You¡¯re probably right.¡± It was not impossible for someone to erupt with power that far exceeded their rank by sacrificing themselves. ¡°However, this is the most powerful self-destruction skill I¡¯ve ever encountered.¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s face was filled with shock. Ye Fan once again shocked them. Each time they thought they had found out Ye Fan¡¯s true strength, he would shock them again. This scene shocked everyone. This man was not even twenty years old, but he already had the talent of a Rank-3 Beast Tamer and two powerful and mysterious pets. It could be said that ever since Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng became teachers, Ye Fan was the most outstanding student. No one could compare to him. The two of them were well aware that this time, the West Eagle Academy had picked up a treasure. If everything went smoothly, Ye Fan would definitely become the West Eagle Academy¡¯s most outstanding student. Hellfire has died Resurrection Time: 10 days Looking at the time on the screen, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Ten days? Isn¡¯t that a bit too long?¡± As the pet¡¯s rank increased, it would take longer to be resurrected. The pet only had the power of the intermediate level of the third rank. At the eighth or ninth rank, it would take a few months for a dead pet to resurrect. ¡°No wonder high-rank Beast Tamers dote on their pets so much that they won¡¯t easily put them in danger,¡± Ye Fan muttered to himself. He then looked at the plus sign at the end of the panel and threw an evolution point into it. Sure enough. Time began to flash, decreasing by an hour. ¡°One evolution point for one hour less?¡± Chapter 32 Ancient Ruins After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan didn¡¯t invest any more evolution points. Since the crisis was temporarily resolved, it was not worth wasting evolution points. With the death of the Violent Rat King, the Violent Rats were no longer as violent and savage as before. They fled in all directions. The Golden Sparrow seized the last opportunity and continued to pursue them. Ye Fan received a system notification after killing ten or so of the fleeing Violent Rats. ¡°Completed Violent Slaughterer . Reward: 500 evolution points.¡± ¡°Your evolution points have accumulated to more than 1000 points. Initiating evolution.¡± Improvement by force? Ye Fan was startled for a moment before immediately opening the introduction. Evolution : When the growth reaches 100%, you can use evolution points to raise it to the next level. There is no need for any materials. The evolution points required will depend on the level of the pet. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. This was a very practical ability. As such, evolution points were enough. Ye Fan looked at his interface. The evolution of the Golden Sparrow required 350 evolution points, while the Hellfire required 600 evolution points. ¡°It¡¯s fine, not too much.¡± Ye Fan nodded slightly. Closing the interface, he looked around. Once the rat tide retreated, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Ye Fan look over, many people began to flatter him. After this battle, Ye Fan¡¯s position in the hearts of the Class A students had risen. In the circle of Beast Tamers, the strong were respected. This was a publicly recognized rule. Ye Fan¡¯s power caused everyone to have a whole new level of respect for him. A few girls even looked at him with burning gazes. ¡°Hmph!¡± A cold snort sounded from the side. Chen Xin silently walked over to Ye Fan¡¯s side, looking left and right, as if no one was allowed to approach. Ye Fan looked at her in surprise. Sensing Ye Fan¡¯s gaze, Chen Xin¡¯s face reddened, but she didn¡¯t leave. Instead, she moved forward. Ye Fan was instantly speechless. Ding Shengxin clapped his hands, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Alright, everyone, get ready. We¡¯re going back to An City.¡± Loud cheers immediately came from the surroundings. After experiencing this fierce battle, their bodies and minds were already exhausted to the extreme. They wished they could go back and rest now. A surprised voice came from a distance. ¡°Why is there mist?¡± Everyone froze and looked around. There was already a thin layer of mist around them. Moreover, the mist in this area was still thickening. They could not see anything over a hundred meters. Ding Shengxin immediately realized that something was wrong. ¡°Everyone, be careful. Hurry up and get your pets to protect you.¡± The students immediately followed his instructions. In just ten seconds, the fog was so thick that one could not see their fingers clearly. They were surrounded by thick fog. But soon, the fog thinned and vanished without a trace. When their vision cleared again, they found themselves out of the moor and in a bright square. Cheers erupted from all sides. It was like a torrent rushing into everyone¡¯s ears. Everyone looked in the direction of the cheers in shock. Only then did they notice that it was coming from the sky above the square. It was from the auditorium. Only then did everyone realize that this was not a square, but clearly an arena. They stood in an open space in the middle. Tall walls surrounded them and there was an auditorium above them. The auditorium was empty, with empty seats everywhere. Even so, the cheers around them were real. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t we in the Vicious Wasteland? Why are we here?¡± ¡°What the hell?¡± ¡°Could we have been bewitched by some monster?¡± This sudden change frightened the students. Many of them looked around like headless flies. Chen Xin subconsciously tugged at Ye Fan¡¯s sleeve. Seeing his indifferent face, the panic in her heart also dissipated. ¡°Quiet!¡± Ding Shengxin shouted. He and Qin Feng looked around with strange expressions. There was a trace of worry and excitement on their faces. ¡°Teachers, where are we now?¡± A student couldn¡¯t help but ask. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng should know about this place. Indeed. Ding Shengxin pondered for a few seconds and hesitated. ¡°The Lost Arena.¡± ¡°This is a relic left behind from ancient times.¡± The people who were still discussing instantly fell silent. Then, there was an uproar. This was an ancient ruin! Chapter 33 Lost Arena The so-called ancient time was more than 300 years ago, when monsters suddenly appeared and slaughtered all humans. From then on, there were ruins. The exact origin of the ruins could no longer be investigated. All they knew was that there were many treasures in ruins. Those who passed through the ruins could obtain rewards. However, ruins were extremely rare and there were no rules to follow. Most of them were described in legends and ancient books. There were even fewer people who could enter the ruins. None of the students expected that they would be so lucky to enter one of the legendary ruins. ¡°Could this be the ruins?¡± ¡°This looks like an arena.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of the Lost Arena.¡± ¡°Teacher, is there anything special about this place?¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng. Ding Shengxin said, ¡°I just saw some relevant information about the Lost Arena in the ancient books.¡± ¡°I heard that everyone who enters this arena has to fight in the arena. As long as you defeat the other party, you can leave and obtain a large amount of rewards and glory.¡± ¡°What if you lose?¡± one of the students said. Ding Shengxin pondered for a moment before slowly saying, ¡°You will become a statue and never be able to leave.¡± Hearing this, many people¡¯s faces turned pale. Now, they had finally recovered from the joy of discovering the ruin. They knew that this ruin was not only beneficial, but also dangerous. ¡°Anyway, we¡¯re already here. We have to fight.¡± Qin Feng was certain that the appearance of this place was the cause of the rat tide. ¡°Every Lost Arena has rules. I think this place has its own.¡± Everyone looked around and soon saw a huge stone tablet. When they got closer, they saw rows of small words. Lost Arena Number of challenges: 5 Requirement: Cannot participate if you are more than 20 years old When Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng saw the requirement, their expressions were a little ugly. They had also come for the treasures in the ruins, but because of their age, they had no hope. Therefore, the mission was handed to these students. ¡°According to the rules of the Lost Arena, if anyone can pass, we can leave safely.¡± Ding Shengxin looked at these students and said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it a try, Teacher.¡± Some students looked excited. The others also looked eager. The ruin was right in front of them. As long as they could clear it, they would be rewarded and honored. This was a huge temptation for those young people. But Ding Shengxin still shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t told everyone that this ruin will be a huge test for people under the age of twenty. If you lose, it will be troublesome.¡± He didn¡¯t finish his sentence, but everyone understood. The students looked at each other hesitantly. Treasures were good things, but they had to be alive to take them. They weren¡¯t willing to become statues and stay here for the rest of their lives. Only when they came back to their senses did they realize that with their current strength, it was very likely that they wouldn¡¯t be able to pass the test. Otherwise, if everyone could easily pass it, then this so-called legendary relic wouldn¡¯t be so remarkable. It had to be known that the person with the greatest hope was Ye Fan. But at this time, his entire mind was attracted by a sudden mission. ¡°Ding¡­ System prompt.¡± ¡± Ruins Challenge : Participate once in the Lost Arena and you will receive corresponding evolution points.¡± Ruins mission? Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. This mission seemed a bit different. The previous missions only gave rewards after being completed. This time, even if he didn¡¯t complete it, he would still be able to obtain rewards. ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Ye Fan reacted. Seeing that everyone¡¯s attention was focused on his face, he hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Whether it was for the reward or not, he had to give it a try. After all, he had to go out. At the same time, he was the best candidate. ¡°It¡¯s up to you now, Ye Fan.¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°Be careful, Ye Fan.¡± Chen Xin looked at him worriedly. ¡°I will.¡± While everyone was looking away, Ye Fan stealthily touched Chen Xin¡¯s slender fingers. The girl¡¯s face instantly turned red, and her large watery eyes looked at him without any resistance. Ye Fan faintly smiled and turned to look at Ding Shengxin. ¡°Teacher, how should I accept this challenge?¡± ¡°Just put your hand on the stone tablet.¡± Ye Fan nodded, then stretched out a hand and placed it on the stone tablet. Suddenly, his vision blurred. When he woke up, his teacher and classmates had already disappeared. He saw that they were currently in the spectator area. Then, he stood in the middle of the arena again. At this moment, a cold and oppressive voice suddenly sounded in the stone arena. ¡°Humans, welcome!¡± Chapter 34 Too Unbelievable This voice sounded from all directions almost at the same time, as if the person who spoke was walking beside them. ¡°Here, you can choose your own fate. To obtain more power, or just to live.¡± ¡°Warriors, please do your best. Let us witness this moment of wonder.¡± Just as he finished speaking, the metal door in front of the arena slowly opened. A three-meter-tall, ferocious-looking demon slowly walked up from inside. This monster¡¯s body was extremely strange. Its arms were thick, and there was an additional arm on its body. A monster with three arms. Intermediate Rank-2 monster. Ye Fan immediately recognized it. At the same time, an exclamation came from the spectator stands. The students were all dumbfounded. If he had to challenge an intermediate Rank-2 monster right from the start, then how powerful would the next monster be? With this in mind, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the students who had planned to go on stage. Fortunately, they hadn¡¯t entered the arena. Aside from a freak like Ye Fan, no one could pass such a difficult challenge. While the students were still in shock, a huge battle had already begun in the arena. Ao! The three-armed monster let out a furious roar before ruthlessly attacking Ye Fan. At this moment, the Cute Sparrow had already stood in front of him. Facing the aggressive monster, the Cute Sparrow was not afraid at all. Instead, it directly used its skill, Wind Blade, to block it. ¡°Ah!¡± A student screamed. The three-armed demon was famous for its strength. On the other hand, the Cute Sparrow was thin and didn¡¯t seem to be good at strength. If it collided with the three-armed giant head-on, the Cute Sparrow would be in a terrible state. The safer way was to attack from the side. The three-armed monster was huge and slow. If this continued, it would definitely lose its strength. Many people had such thoughts. Under everyone¡¯s worried gazes, the three-armed monster got closer and closer to the Cute Sparrow. The Cute Sparrow used the intermediate Wind Blade skill. The Cute Sparrow¡¯s claws instantly became incomparably sharp. Then, it began to attack the side of the three-armed monster. Although the three-armed monster was strong, its movements were very slow. Before the three-armed monster could react, the sharp claws had already pierced into its chest. The three-armed monster roared again. It was infuriated. Just as the three-armed monster raised its hand to attack the Cute Sparrow again¡­ BANG! Then, the three-armed demon fell to the ground with a bang. After squirming on the ground, it stopped breathing. One move! Dead silence filled the arena. Everyone looked at the Cute Sparrow and Ye Fan, dumbfounded. Although they had already expected that the three-armed monster wouldn¡¯t be Ye Fan¡¯s match, they hadn¡¯t expected it to end up like this. The Cute Sparrow was even stronger than the three-armed monster. If they hadn¡¯t seen it, they would never have believed it. ¡°Awesome.¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a pet stronger than the three-armed monster.¡± ¡°Even so, the Cute Sparrow¡¯s strength should be inferior to the three-armed beast¡¯s.¡± ¡°Is Brother Ye¡¯s pet a strength-type pet?¡± ¡°It should be.¡± Surprised voices rang out and could be heard at the arena¡¯s center, but Ye Fan didn¡¯t pay any attention to these discussions. As soon as the three-armed monster died, the mission notification popped up. ¡°You have passed the first round of the Lost Arena. Reward: 50 evolution points.¡± On the other side, that dignified voice sounded again. ¡°The first challenge is over. The challenge will continue.¡± With that, the metal door opened again. This time, it was a monster covered in blood. This monster had no skin, only flesh and blood exposed to the air. It had a pair of sharp teeth and looked very terrifying. It was a Blood Ape, a peak Rank-2 monster. ¡°Eh, this is only Rank 2?¡± ¡°This is only the second challenge.¡± ¡°Brother Ye will be fine.¡± ¡°I hope so.¡± As they spoke, the two sides were already locked in battle. Unlike the three-armed monster, the Blood Ape was an extremely fast monster. Its figure flickered like an illusion. For an enemy of the same level, it would definitely be troublesome to deal with this Blood Ape. However, even though the Cute Sparrow¡¯s level was the same as the Blood Ape, its combat strength was already comparable to the third rank. In this war, the Cute Sparrow had always maintained an absolute advantage. If this continued, the final winner would definitely be the Cute Sparrow. Ye Fan didn¡¯t want to delay any longer and directly attacked. A light blue Soul Chain formed in midair like a spiritual python and instantly wrapped around the Blood Ape¡¯s body. Suddenly, the Blood Ape was frozen. In this moment of hesitation, the Cute Sparrow¡¯s sharp claws suddenly attacked. After a series of attacks, the Blood Ape collapsed like the three-armed monster and became a corpse. ¡°Soul Chain!¡± Two surprised voices sounded from the stands. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were both shocked. They had never expected that besides Soul Protection, Ye Fan still had another soul art. From the looks of it, it was quite powerful. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock. Could it be that Ye Fan could easily master Soul Power? This was too unbelievable. Chapter 35 Mental Attack The onlookers were dumbfounded. Up until now, all they had learned were Soul Protection. Chen Xin, a disciple of a noble family, only knew two soul skills. She had just started learning the second. Not only had Ye Fan learned three different soul arts, but he had also reached a very high level, leaving them far behind. This was the so-called genius. ¡°This Cute Sparrow is the same.¡± Right at this moment, Ding Shengxin suddenly spoke. Before he could finish, Qin Feng understood and nodded. ¡°Judging from his aura, he should be at the high level of the second rank, but he¡¯s actually at the intermediate level of the third rank.¡± Qin Feng sighed. First, there was Hellfire, and then there was a Cute Sparrow that was even stronger than it. Ye Fan¡¯s two Battle Pets were both extraordinary. It was unbelievable that an ordinary student could reach such a level. ¡­ ¡°The second challenge of the Lost Arena has been completed. Reward: 100 evolution points.¡± Obtaining 100 evolution points delighted Ye Fan. No matter what the final reward was, just considering evolution points alone, the gains from this trip were huge. BANG! The metal door opened again, and an ethereal figure slowly appeared. Her face was like a woman¡¯s, and she was dressed in white. Her eyes were bloodless, and they gave off a sinister feeling. There was no doubt that it was a Vengeful Ghost. It was a low-level third-rank monster. Ding Shengxin¡¯s expression changed drastically when he saw its appearance. ¡°This is a Vengeful Ghost!¡± Qin Feng was also depressed. ¡°Teacher, is the Vengeful Ghost very powerful?¡± Chen Xin asked anxiously. Ding Shengxin said in a deep voice, ¡°The Vengeful Ghost is a ghost-type monster with a special ability, Illusion. Ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against the Vengeful Ghost.¡± ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet clearly specializes in physical attacks, and the Vengeful Ghost is immune to physical attacks. This battle will be a bit difficult.¡± Chen Xin¡¯s face immediately paled as she heard that. She looked at Ye Fan with concern. The other students also looked terrified. ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°You mean we¡¯re going to lose?¡± ¡°Even Ye Fan is losing. What can we do?¡± ¡°Boohoo, I don¡¯t want to become a statue.¡± An atmosphere of panic and fear spread in everyone¡¯s hearts. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng both let out a long sigh. They were helpless in such a situation. Only the person on the stage could remain calm. ¡°Is it Illusion?¡± Ye Fan looked at the Vengeful Ghost with an indifferent expression, seemingly lost in thought. Illusion was the advanced version of Half-Void Body. Generally speaking, only ghost-type and elemental-type monsters could awaken this ability. Illusion was immune to all physical attacks. Sure enough, this time, he could not hurt the Vengeful Ghost. ¡°I should use soul techniques or mental attacks.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up as he immediately thought of a method. He immediately opened the interface and took a look. Unlocked Skill Singing : Lets out a melodious cry. The enemy that hears it will suffer a mental attack and will have a certain chance of getting lost in the chanting of the Cute Sparrow. (The probability of getting lost depends on the strength of the opponent.) It will require 150 evolution points to unlock. This was a mental attack. Without hesitation, Ye Fan used 150 evolution points to unlock Singing. At this moment, the Vengeful Ghost had already appeared in the middle of the arena. She faced the sky and suddenly let out an extremely sharp cry. Ghost¡¯s Roar! This sound wave carried a powerful mental impact that shook his body. The soul fire in his eyes jumped violently. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re the only one who knows how to shout?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s mouth curled into a cold smile, but he was calculating in his heart. At the front was a small and Cute Sparrow. It suddenly let out a roar. In an instant. A pleasant cry sounded. The air instantly distorted, turning into a huge wave of air that smashed fiercely onto the Vengeful Ghost. A howl! The Vengeful Ghost let out a miserable scream. Its illusory body was like a candle in the wind, constantly trembling. Ghost-type monsters were only immune to physical attacks, but their mental defense was greatly reduced. It could be said that the attack brought huge damage to the Vengeful Ghost. After the singing, the Vengeful Ghost lost its ability to fight. The Cute Sparrow let out a pleasant cry again. The Vengeful Ghost could no longer hold on and died from mental torture. The spectator area instantly fell silent. Everyone was in a daze. After a long time, they finally reacted and gasped. Chapter 36 The Monsters Are Getting Stronger and Stronger W-was it over so quickly? Everyone was still confused. Just a moment ago, they had been worried about whether or not Ye Fan would be able to defeat the Vengeful Ghost. But very quickly, he had finished off the Vengeful Ghost, which was completely unable to resist. ¡°Was that a mental attack?¡± One of the students couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Most likely. Otherwise, how could he have killed that Vengeful Ghost?¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t this Cute Sparrow a physical attack type?¡± ¡°Not necessarily.¡± ¡°Brother Ye is simply my idol.¡± The group of people all looked at Ye Fan with reverence. This was too awesome. This was a Battle Pet that had both physical and mental attacks. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng also looked at Ye Fan in shock. They had never imagined that Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet could actually perform mental attacks. Just how powerful was this Battle Pet¡¯s ability and talent? How had Ye Fan nurtured it? The two of them couldn¡¯t understand. In the arena, Ye Fan¡¯s gaze moved away from the system interface. From these three battles, he had obtained 150 evolution points, just enough to replenish the energy he needed to cast Singing. He once again looked at the metal door. At this moment, the fourth challenger slowly walked out. It was a monster that wore black armor and held a sharp sword in his hand. His entire body was covered in black. His arm was also covered in black cage armor. It was an Armored Demon. This was a high-level Rank-3 monster. When the figure of the armored monster was completely revealed, the entire venue immediately erupted into exclamations. ¡°High level Rank 3?!¡± ¡°Not good, it¡¯s getting stronger and stronger.¡± ¡°What should we do now? Even Ye Fan can¡¯t defeat a monster of this level.¡± ¡°Shut up. Don¡¯t say such depressing things.¡± The joy of killing the Vengeful Ghost was instantly extinguished. The high fighting spirit instantly disappeared, and the depressed atmosphere spread again. Ding Shengxin frowned. ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s Hellfire might have a chance of winning here.¡± Hellfire was also a pet of the third rank. Its strength was slightly weaker than the armored monster, but if it worked with the Cute Sparrow, it might be able to defeat it. But now, Ding Shengxin could not help but sigh. No wonder no one had ever cleared the arena. The current situation was obvious. Not to mention the first two monsters, the Vengeful Ghost and the armored monster were already stronger than their pets. How powerful could a twenty-year-old person¡¯s contracted pet be? How many could reach the third rank? To be able to reach the second rank within two years was already considered extremely talented. A Rank-3 Beast Tamer like Ye Fan was simply unseen. But even if it was him, in front of the armored monster, his chances of winning could be said to be very small. This didn¡¯t mean that Ye Fan¡¯s strength was insufficient, but that his opponent was simply too powerful. ¡°Old Qin, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t get out of this place.¡± Ding Shengxin could not be bothered to comfort the students. He looked at Qin Feng with a helpless smile. As for Qin Feng, he had a pained expression on his face. ¡°It¡¯s fate.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s a good thing that we can enter the ruins. Many people haven¡¯t entered before.¡± Ding Shengxin couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. That made sense. No one would have thought that they would encounter a rat tide here and even end up in the Lost Arena for no reason. ¡°A genius like Ye Fan doesn¡¯t deserve this. Originally, I planned to properly nurture him. He would soon stand out in the school tournament. In the end¡­¡± Ding Shengxin sighed. Qin Feng did not say anything. Hearing this, Chen Xin clenched her fists and looked at Ye Fan with concern. Ye Fan was still as calm as ever. It seemed that the current situation wasn¡¯t the worst for him. If it was before, Ye Fan might really have no chance of winning against a high-level Rank-3 opponent. But now, it was another matter. He still had a trump card called ¡°Forced Evolution¡±. In the previous battles, the Cute Sparrow¡¯s growth had reached 27%. Just the Vengeful Ghost alone led to 16% growth. Ye Fan immediately opened the system interface and spent 217 evolution points to raise the Cute Sparrow¡¯s growth to 100%. Without any hesitation, he spent 350 evolution points to forcefully advance it. Instantly, the information on the Cute Sparrow changed. Name: Cute Sparrow Nature: Wind Grade: Rank 3, High Level Growth: 0% Talents: Wings, Gale, Claw Power Skills: Intermediate Wind Blade, Wind Phantom, Singing, Wind Shield Evolution Path: The next step requires: 100% growth, 1 drop of Abyssal Blood, 20 low-grade Dark Crystals. That was the high level of Rank 3! In an instant, the Cute Sparrow¡¯s aura changed drastically. Its aura became stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, it was on par with the armored demon. This scene stunned everyone. When they saw this scene, their faces were filled with disbelief. It evolved so quickly? Chapter 37 Hellfire¡¯s Self-Destruction The evolution of pets was not that easy. It was rare that a pet would evolve in an instant on the battlefield. But what no one had expected was that Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet would actually evolve at such a critical moment. In that instant, everyone was stupefied. Immediately after, an indescribable joy surged into their hearts. ¡°Good job, you¡¯ll definitely defeat that armored demon!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Ye Fan would actually complete its evolution at such a critical moment. What a coincidence.¡± ¡°No matter what, he¡¯s still Brother Ye. He¡¯s really a genius.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be too smug. They¡¯re both high-level Rank-3. It¡¯s hard to say who will win.¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Brother Ye¡¯s Cute Sparrow is definitely the strongest among those of the same level.¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± The group of students were wild with joy. Chen Xin also looked at Ye Fan with worship. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were both surprised and overjoyed, their hearts in turmoil. It had to be known that when Ye Fan had first entered the academy, that Cute Sparrow had been a low-level Rank-2. But in less than two weeks, that Cute Sparrow had already become a high-level Rank-3. To evolve to such a level in such a short period of time was truly too shocking. ¡°What kind of pet is this?¡± They both wondered. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they didn¡¯t dare to investigate other people¡¯s Battle Pets, they would have long asked Ye Fan. On the other side, the evolved Cute Sparrow¡¯s aura was somewhat different. As expected, after awakening many talents and abilities, the Cute Sparrow no longer had to fear the armored monster. The Cute Sparrow released the intermediate skill, Wind Blade, while the armored monster held the blade. The battle was about to start. Ye Fan planned to wait and see first. He wanted to know just how much the Cute Sparrow had improved. The Cute Sparrow relied on its own strength to dodge one attack after another. The battle between the two lasted for eight minutes. Through the Cute Sparrow¡¯s observation, it discovered the armor demon¡¯s weakness and killed it with the wind blade. The armored monster could not withstand such an attack at all and suddenly fell to the ground. ¡°Fourth challenge successful. Obtained 200 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan raised his eyebrows as his gaze fell on the metal door. Everyone on the viewing platform was staring at the door. Although Ye Fan had defeated the armored monster, no one felt relaxed. Instead, they involuntarily held back their auras and nervously looked towards the door. Everyone knew very well that this was the most important battle. This victory of this battle would allow them to leave that unknown and dangerous place. Just like before, in the fifth challenge, the other party¡¯s strength was two levels higher. In other words, the probability of meeting a Rank-4 monster was very high. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts tightened, and their eyes could not help but flicker. Even Ye Fan might not be able to defeat a Rank-4 monster. The only thing he could do now was pray that the monster to come wasn¡¯t a powerful one. If it was only at the third rank, that would be a good thing. However, the truth was not always what he wanted. A six-meter-tall behemoth crawled through the door. Its three huge heads collided and a loud rumbling sound came from its mouths. For a moment, the entire arena was filled with a pungent smell. It was the smell of sulfur. ¡°My God¡­¡± Ding Shengxin said in a deep voice. His face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. Qin Feng was the same. No wonder they were so excited. The monster on the battlefield was stronger than they had imagined. A three-headed monster. This was a high-level Rank-4 monster. It was not a simple Rank-4 monster. It far exceeded ordinary Rank-3 monsters. Even Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng did not have the confidence to win. As for Ye Fan, this was simply an invincible existence. Everyone¡¯s hearts shook, and their faces immediately turned deathly pale. After experiencing the previous tests, they had already lost interest in continuing to fight. They had placed all their hopes on Ye Fan. If Ye Fan lost, then the result could be imagined. They would become statues, unable to leave. At the thought of this, everyone trembled and their hearts were filled with despair. ¡°A Rank-4 monster?¡± Ye Fan frowned slightly. ¡°You really want me dead, right?¡± Although he said this, Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t show the slightest bit of panic. He was still as calm as ever. He opened the system interface. There were still more than 230 hours before Hellfire could be revived. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate to use 230 evolution points to speed up the resurrection of the Hellfire. A moment later. Hellfire didn¡¯t say another word, directly charging into the arena like a bullet towards the three-headed monster. At this time, Ye Fan brought the Cute Sparrow to a safe distance. Ye Fan had just stabilized himself. Then an angry roar erupted from the arena. In the next instant, blinding light exploded. With an earth-shattering explosion, raging flames erupted, enveloping the arena. Self-destruction! Chapter 38 Completion, Reward A wave of scorching heat assaulted their faces. Ding Shengxin and the others had no time to stop it. They stared blankly at the blazing flames in the arena. Their lips were dry, and it took them a long time to recover. Ever since the clash, they had instinctively thought that the Hellfire was gone because it died in the rat tide. As everyone knew, it took a certain amount of time for a pet to be resurrected. Depending on the level of the pet, the time needed for resurrection was also different. It was absolutely impossible for a pet to be resurrected in such a short period of time. No one had expected the Hellfire to appear under such circumstances and self-destruct immediately. At this moment, the entire arena was covered in flames and thick fog. In the arena, a huge black shadow lay motionless. Many people swallowed. They had seen with their own eyes how terrifying the Hellfire explosion was. This move was enough to instantly kill thousands of ferocious creatures. Such an attack would seriously injure even fifth or sixth-rank monsters, let alone a fourth-rank one. Moreover, the moment the Hellfire exploded, the three-headed monster had already pounced on the Hellfire. It could be said that the Hellfire was the core of the explosion. All the attack was forcefully withstood by the three-headed monster. In that case, the outcome of the three-headed monster was self-evident. It was true. As the fog and the fire faded, the charred bodies of the three-headed monster gradually appeared. It was dead. After confirming that it was really dead, the tense atmosphere was instantly dispersed. ¡°Done, done!¡± ¡°Does Brother Ye¡¯s victory have anything to do with you?¡± ¡°How magical. I almost wondered if he would succeed.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be fake. Brother Ye is so awesome.¡± ¡°I like Ye Fan!¡± Chen Xin was excited, but when she heard the last part, the smile on her face froze. She turned to look at the girl. Ding Shengxin and Qin Feng were also overjoyed. The situation had reversed, and Ye Fan¡¯s final move had shocked everyone. The two of them felt as if they were riding a roller coaster, especially exhausted. Fortunately, they had passed the test and could now walk out of this ruin. ¡­ ¡°Completed the last challenge. Reward: 300 evolution points.¡± Three seconds after the Hellfire exploded, Ye Fan knew he had won. When the flames disappeared, the three-headed monster appeared in front of everyone. A cold and oppressive voice sounded again. ¡°Human, you have passed the challenge. You will receive generous rewards!¡± Ye Fan raised his head and saw a white light flying out and condensing into two spheres in his hand. ¡°Rewards?¡± Ye Fan carefully examined them and discovered that one of them was a Sealing Egg. But he didn¡¯t recognize the other one. Just as he was puzzled, his vision suddenly blurred. Ye Fan immediately felt a sense of danger. He should be able to leave. Sure enough¡­ In the next moment, his vision suddenly shook. When his vision became clear again, everything around him had changed from the huge arena to a bare field. Tens of meters away, there were densely packed Violent Rats. ¡°We¡¯re finally out.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, how did we find the ruins?¡± ¡°It must be the fog.¡± ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t plan to go to the ruins again anyway.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone agreed. No one was willing to enter that place again. If it weren¡¯t for Ye Fan, they would have long turned into statues, unable to leave forever. When this matter was mentioned, everyone turned to look at Ye Fan, wanting to thank him. But his gaze fell on Ding Shengxin. ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s this about?¡± Ye Fan took out the strange sphere and asked Qin Feng and Ding Shengxin. Ding Shengxin looked at it, thought for a moment, and said slowly, ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this is a Level Advancing Pearl.¡± ¡°Level Advancing Pearl? Is it more powerful?¡± ¡°Yes, it is.¡± Ding Shengxin¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. ¡°This pearl can help your pet¡¯s potential break through to the limit of the king level. It¡¯s a very precious thing.¡± Ye Fan was slightly startled. He had never thought that this small ball would be so miraculous. He immediately thought of Hellfire. Hellfire¡¯s potential could reach the peak of the ninth rank. This pearl could instantly allow the potential of Hellfire to soar to the King rank. This was the most suitable. As for the Cute Sparrow, its potential had already reached the King rank, so it did not need this pearl. ¡°This is an extremely rare treasure. You should use it as soon as possible to avoid attracting others¡¯ attention,¡± Ding Shengxin reminded him again. Although Ding Shengxin was somewhat envious of Ye Fan, he didn¡¯t have any thoughts. This was something Ye Fan had risked his life to obtain. Furthermore, Ye Fan had saved his life. If he wanted to obtain anything from Ye Fan, he would be ashamed of being called a teacher. ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Ye Fan planned to use this pearl on the Hellfire. Chapter 39 Obtaining a New Battle Pet Ding Shengxin thought for a moment before instructing everyone to keep this exploration a secret. This was to prevent the news of Ye Fan obtaining the treasures from spreading, which might get him killed. When the students heard their teacher¡¯s words, they all agreed. However, no one was sure if this matter would be known. Ding Shengxin could only try his best. After the dust settled, everyone hurried back to An City. On the way back, they encountered the reinforcement troops. The two teachers stayed to explain the situation to the troops and let the students go back first. ¡­ At this time, in Ye Fan¡¯s manor, Ye Fan immediately summoned the system interface, planning to use that pearl right now. Then, his Hellfire¡¯s potential instantly increased. ¡°Overlord¡¯s Path: Strengthen attack. The next stage is Soul of Raging Flames . At the very most, it can evolve to King rank.¡± Seeing this, Ye Fan relaxed. ¡°In other words, both my pets have great potential.¡± For ordinary Beast Tamers, the King rank was out of reach. However, Ye Fan already had an evolution system. Sooner or later, he would raise his Hellfire and Cute Sparrow to the King rank, which was just around the corner. Ye Fan opened the Cute Sparrow¡¯s stats window. Talents to be unlocked Golden Wings : Upgraded version of Wings . The body is more agile. Increases defense. Requires 200 evolution points to unlock. Skills to be unlocked Vitality Peck : After hitting the enemy, it can peck away their vitality for healing or recovery. Requires 200 evolution points to unlock. ¡°A very useful technique.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed. Golden Wings and Vitality Peck were very helpful for the Cute Sparrow¡¯s long-term combat and survival. Especially Golden Wings . Just Wings had allowed the Cute Sparrow to increase its speed and defense. Then wouldn¡¯t the upgraded version, Golden Wings , be even more powerful? Just thinking about it made him excited. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate and directly unlocked Golden Wings . He pondered for a moment before unlocking Vitality Peck . As a result, it now had a total of ten innate talents and abilities. Five talents and five skills. It had already surpassed pets of the same level. ¡°It may be a high-level Rank-3 pet, but it can even fight against lower-level Rank-4 monsters.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s mouth curled into a proud smile. This way, the Cute Sparrow might even be able to kill enemies two levels higher. Just thinking about it made one¡¯s blood boil. Calming himself down, Ye Fan turned his gaze to his Hellfire. In just a day, it had undergone evolution, self-destructing to death, reviving, and self-destructing again. It could be said that there were many twists and turns. It was really difficult for Hellfire. Hellfire was still in the process of resurrection. There were still more than 200 hours before it could be resurrected. ¡°In the next few days, I¡¯ll increase the growth of the Cute Sparrow. At the same time, I¡¯ll gather the main advancement materials for the Cute Sparrow and Hellfire.¡± The Cute Sparrow mainly lacked the abyssal blood as the material. As for Hellfire, it lacked the Golden Flame Stone. Ye Fan had never heard of these things. According to the information on the Internet, these two items were both Rank-4 rare materials. Although they were not precious, they were rarely seen on the market. He did not know how long it would take to obtain them. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to find them myself.¡± Ye Fan quickly made up his mind. His gaze fell on the final item. ¡°Sealing Egg.¡± The Sealing Egg he got from the Lost Arena was different from the one in the pet store. It was transparent and glowed faintly. Ye Fan looked ahead. Rows of small characters appeared in front of him. Name: Hunter Fox Nature: Illusion Grade: Peak, Rank 3 Growth: 0% Talents: Charm, High-Level Charm Immunity, Intermediate Sleep Immunity, Intermediate Intimidation Immunity Abilities: Fox Leaf Wedge, Fox Fire, Eye of Illusion, Leap Evolution Paths (1) Demon Beast Path: The path of evolution to increase demon power. The third level is Three-tailed Hunting Fox , which can be upgraded to the peak of Rank 9. (2) Bloodline Path: Currently, a Hunter Fox. The next stage is Cursed Fox. It can be upgraded to King Rank. ¡°Illusion nature!?¡± Ye Fan was dumbfounded. This was an extremely rare attribute. He continued to scroll down. A series of talents and abilities dazzled him. There were a total of nine. Although they were not as good as the Cute Sparrow¡¯s, the Hunter Fox had not been upgraded by the system. Battle pets with nine innate abilities were all very outstanding. This could be seen from the two evolution paths. One was at the peak of the ninth rank, and the other was at the king rank. This scene was truly too dazzling. ¡°This is the preciousness of an ancient relic.¡± Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. Without a doubt, he would walk a path that would allow the pet to become a King. Ye Fan did a search on the Internet. Such a pet was extremely rare. Currently, among all the battle pet warriors, very few had such a pet. It had to be known that the Hunter Fox evolved by having more tails. In other words, the other bloodline path was the hidden evolution path of Hunter Foxes. Chapter 40 Invitation to the Club Ye Fan quickly signed a contract with this Sealing Egg. With a crisp sound, a small fox with pure white fur walked out. As soon as the Hunter Fox appeared, it looked around. Its expressions and actions were all so lively and cute. Seeing Ye Fan, it happily cried out and jumped into his arms, rubbing its head against his chest. Ye Fan smiled and rubbed the little fox¡¯s head, beginning to examine its evolution requirements. ¡°The next step, Cursed Fox, requires 100% Growth, one Green Divine Wood, and 20 low-grade Illusion Crystals.¡± Like Abyssal Blood and Golden Flame Stone, this was a very rare material. ¡°I need a large amount of resources.¡± Closing the interface, Ye Fan played with the little guy for a while before deciding to rest. After a series of battles, his body was not injured, but his mind was still a bit exhausted. The next morning, Ye Fan arrived at the classroom. He had a very important class to attend. It had been a long time since he had come to the classroom. There were already many students gathered in the classroom. Seeing Ye Fan walk in, everyone stood up with incomparable enthusiasm. This was something Ye Fan couldn¡¯t stand, so he could only politely ask them to sit down. ¡°Everyone is very grateful to you,¡± Chen Xin said with a smile after he sat down. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. ¡°I only did what I should.¡± ¡°Whether or not you should do it, you saved everyone,¡± Chen Xin said with a serious expression. Ye Fan laughed and didn¡¯t say anything else. Chen Xin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, ¡°By the way, did you join a club?¡± ¡°Not yet. Are you in?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a member of the Rose Society.¡± Rose Society? Ye Fan was startled. He thought for a moment before remembering. Under normal circumstances, the members of a society would have the same attribute. Under normal circumstances, students would choose their own exclusive society. There were earth-type clubs and light-type clubs. Of course, the Rose Society was an exception. The members of this society were relatively few, and it was said that there were less than ten of them. However, each and every one of them was a beauty in their grade, and they were all extremely talented. It could be said that the Rose Society was a place where geniuses gathered, and their appearances were outstanding. It was a place that many men dreamed of entering. But unfortunately, this society was only for girls, and it only accepted girls. Ye Fan hadn¡¯t expected that Chen Xin would actually join the Rose Society. However, on second thought, Chen Xin¡¯s look was outstanding to begin with. She was also the most talented and capable student in this batch. It did not seem strange for her to join the Rose Society. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s expression, Chen Xin awkwardly said, ¡°The Rose Society has a senior who¡¯s proficient in dragon pets. It just so happens that I¡¯m planning to learn from her. With her guidance, I can save a lot of trouble, so I decided to join the Rose Society.¡± Ye Fan understood. ¡°Which club do you want to join?¡± Chen Xin asked again. Ye Fan shook his head without hesitation. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in this.¡± He didn¡¯t want to waste all his time on clubs and competitions. Besides, he had a lot of pets. He would have a lot of trouble if he joined a club. Hearing this, Chen Xin looked deeply at Ye Fan, not saying anything. Class was over. Chen Xin wanted to go to the club to consult her seniors, so she left. There were a few girls who wanted to treat Ye Fan to a meal. Ye Fan declined their invitation and directly went to his manor. But just as he was halfway there, two people stopped him. They were a man and a woman. Judging from their expressions and actions, they shouldn¡¯t be new students. The moment they opened their mouths, they confirmed Ye Fan¡¯s guess. ¡°Junior brother Ye Fan, can we talk in private?¡± the woman asked, a charming smile on her face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°We¡¯re from the Golden Bird Society. We hope you can be one of us.¡± Ye Fan was startled for a moment before shaking his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t have any intention of joining a club.¡± ¡°Ye Fan, you should think about it carefully. You have a wind-attributed Battle Pet, and the students of our club are all specialized in summoning wind-attributed Battle Pets. If you talk to them more often, it will be very helpful for your growth,¡± urged the man. Every club would compete for outstanding students at this time. Class A was undoubtedly the most competitive place. As for Ye Fan, he was the target of all clubs. Ye Fan was the one who had performed the best in this year¡¯s entrance exam. From the moment he entered the academy, there had been quite a few clubs coveting Ye Fan like tigers watching their prey. It was just that he rarely came to the campus, and they hadn¡¯t been able to find any traces of him. The other clubs had tried to send people to keep an eye on him, but to no avail. Fortunately, these two people had finally met Ye Fan. They had always been condescending when they recruited new members. Very few people knew that Ye Fan had a Hunter Fox and a Hellfire. They had only heard that Ye Fan¡¯s Cute Sparrow had the wind attribute, so they instinctively thought that he would prioritize the Golden Bird Society. However¡­ Ye Fan simply didn¡¯t want to join this Golden Bird Society. Chapter 41 - 41 Guys Can Also Be Recruited 41 Guys Can Also Be Recruited In the end, they were all a little disappointed. Ye Fan said that he didn¡¯t have such thoughts at all, causing them to have no choice but to give up on this idea. Finally shaking off these two fellows, Ye Fan was just about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a commotion. There was a familiar voice. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes narrowed. He saw two groups of people standing there, seemingly arguing about something. !! One of the two groups were tall men. There were more than ten of them standing together, exuding a powerful aura. On the other side were three girls. Ye Fan happened to have seen one before. This girl was Su Wan¡¯er, whom he had met in the Land of Demonic Souls. ¡°Cao Zhengji, don¡¯t slander us here. We¡¯ve already informed the dean that we¡¯re going to use this place as our society¡¯s recruitment venue. How dare you snatch it? Alright, give me the academy¡¯s approval paper!¡± ¡°Hehe, how dare you sit here with just a few people from the Rose Society?¡± ¡°So what if you have more people? The people from your Heart Society don¡¯t have much strength. They¡¯re even inferior to us girls.¡± ¡°What? Try talking nonsense again!¡± ¡°Why? Do you want me to say it again?¡± The veins on Cao Zhengji¡¯s forehead bulged. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was pulled back by the short-haired youth in the lead. His face darkened as he said to Su Wan¡¯er and the others, ¡°If you¡¯re so confident, why don¡¯t you fight us?¡± ¡°If your Rose Society loses, you¡¯ll take out half of the society¡¯s resources.¡± Hearing this, the entire venue was in an uproar. Su Wan¡¯er and the others¡¯ faces darkened. ¡°What if you lose?¡± The short-haired man sneered. ¡°We¡¯ll also take out half of the society¡¯s resources.¡± Su Wan¡¯er nodded without hesitation. ¡°Alright!¡± The short-haired youth smiled proudly, waved his hand, and turned to leave. The other burly men did not stay any longer and followed the short-haired man. Cao Zhengji¡¯s anger did not diminish as he looked at Su Wan¡¯er with hatred. The girl looked straight at him without any intention of retreating. After they left, one of the three girls from the Rose Society, who wore a pair of glasses, revealed a helpless smile. ¡°Wan¡¯er, why did you agree? We could¡¯ve ignored them.¡± Su Wan¡¯er pursed her lips and said, ¡°These people are too arrogant. Moreover, they¡¯re clearly here for this matter today. If we reject them, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll cause even more trouble.¡± Previously, the members of Heart Society had been going against them. They were just jealous of the resources of the Rose Society. Heart Society wanted to find an opportunity to snatch the resources. After all, the resources of a society were the key to the future development of a society. They also determined the combat ability of a society. This was also why many societies valued them very much. They would fight over resources. The Rose Society received the best resources in the academy. Moreover, among all the societies, their society had the least number of members. This way, every individual would be given more resources, making many people envious. Among the opponents, the ¡°Heart Society¡± was the loudest. The other girl with a cold personality also had a helpless expression. ¡°There will be a total of five people in this society competition. Including those from the fourth grade, there will be you, me, Chen Xin, and Qiu Ya, a total of four people. What do you think?¡± Su Wan¡¯er smiled awkwardly. ¡°Then let¡¯s take one more.¡± ¡°Heart Society¡¯s strength is not inferior to our Rose Society. It¡¯s impossible for us to recruit new people. We need enough strength.¡± The girl sighed softly. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about the students from the other grades. They all have their own societies.¡± ¡°Chen Xin is a first-year student. There are also some talented students, but no one knows if they will agree. Even if they do, they don¡¯t have the strength to participate in the society competition.¡± These words made Su Wan¡¯er completely speechless. Was there no other way? Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s heart tightened. If they lost the society competition because of her, she would blame herself. Just as she was conflicted, Su Wan¡¯er saw a familiar face. When she saw Ye Fan, her eyes immediately lit up. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a good idea!¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± Su Wan¡¯er smiled mysteriously. ¡°I¡¯ve already found a candidate.¡± ¡°Who?¡± The iceberg girl couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Him!¡± Su Wan¡¯er waved her hand and pointed at Ye Fan. Looking in the direction she was pointing, they froze. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Isn¡¯t he just a boy?¡± ¡°He¡¯s indeed a boy.¡± Su Wan¡¯er teased. ¡°But boys can do it too. After all, we don¡¯t have any other suitable candidates. Just treat it as an exception of the society.¡± Chapter 42 - 42 Joining a Club for Resources 42 Joining a Club for Resources The iceberg girl and the bespectacled girl looked at each other. The rules of the Rose Society required female students. There was no reason for this. However, such a long-standing rule could not be broken just like that. Seeing that they were all shaking their heads, Su Wan¡¯er anxiously said, ¡°Senior Sister, Ye Fan is the King of Freshmen. He¡¯s also a Rank-2 pet trainer. His combat strength has already surpassed many second graders. He¡¯s qualified for this battle.¡± ¡°A Rank 2 pet trainer?!¡± The iceberg girl and the girl in glasses gasped in unison, looking unbelievable. !! It wasn¡¯t unheard of for first-year students to become Rank-2 pet trainers. However, it was only after the next semester that one could become a Rank-2 pet trainer. The earliest Rank-2 pet trainers were in the final stage of the first year. The new students had only been in the academy for a month at most. He was already a Rank-2 pet trainer. Unbelievable. They all knew of Ye Fan¡¯s great name. It was rumored that his talent was extremely high, even surpassing the limit of the test. Previously, they had thought that it was just a rumor, but now it seemed that it really was the case. Thinking of this, the president of the Rose Society, Xu Menghan, revealed a thoughtful expression. When Su Wan¡¯er saw this, she knew that her chance had come. ¡°Senior, things have already come to this. Don¡¯t tell me you want to be defeated by the people from Heart Society?¡± ¡°Moreover, Ye Fan is quite a good person. Back in the Land of Demonic Souls, he even helped me, so everyone doesn¡¯t have to worry.¡± Xu Menghan looked at Su Wan¡¯er speechlessly before turning her gaze to Xiao Qiuya, the vice president. ¡°How is it, Qiuya?¡± ¡°It¡¯s an emergency now. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a problem,¡± Xiao Qiuya said calmly as she adjusted her glasses. ¡°Of course, this is based on his own will. Don¡¯t forget that Ye Fan is a Rank-2 pet trainer. Many societies will invite him.¡± Hearing this, Su Wan¡¯er immediately rushed in front of Ye Fan. ¡°Junior Brother Ye Fan.¡± Ye Fan was just about to leave when someone suddenly shouted from behind him. Su Wan¡¯er hurriedly went forward and held his arm, looking pitiful. ¡°Junior, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you help me?¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan was slightly startled. ¡°What favor?¡± Su Wan¡¯er told him everything that had happened. Then, she looked at him with an aggrieved expression. ¡°Can you become a member of the Rose Society?¡± Ye Fan was startled for a moment before shrugging. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Sister. I don¡¯t have any intention of joining a society.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to participate in any society activities. You can come anytime. Other than this competition, the society won¡¯t waste your time.¡± ¡°Sorry, I need to go out of the city to collect some materials.¡± Ye Fan was just about to leave when Su Wan¡¯er grabbed him. ¡°What materials do you need? Perhaps I can help.¡± Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, pondering for a moment before saying, ¡°Do you know where I can find Abyssal Blood, Golden Flame Stone, and Green Divine Wood?¡± Su Wan¡¯er was startled, a puzzled expression appearing on her face. It was obvious that they didn¡¯t know much about these three materials. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya walked in from behind. Hearing this, they both looked at Ye Fan in surprise. These three were all rare materials. To Battle Pets, they simply didn¡¯t need them. It was fine if Ye Fan wanted one, but why did he want three? Although she was a little puzzled, Xu Menghan continued, ¡°It just so happens that I have a Golden Flame Stone. I know someone who has a drop of Abyssal Blood. It¡¯s not difficult to get them.¡± A bright light flashed in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. Xu Menghan looked at his expression and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Senior Brother Ye Fan, why don¡¯t you join our Rose Society and participate in the competition between us and Heart Society? Look, I¡¯ll get you some Golden Flame Stones and Abyssal Blood. How about that? Also, I can ask around about the Green Divine Wood.¡± Ye Fan thought about it and nodded. In any case, he did not need to participate in any society activities and did not spend much time. Most importantly, he could obtain the Golden Flame Stone and the Abyssal Blood at the same time. He could save a lot of time and effort. Moreover¡­ Ye Fan sized up the three women in front of him with different temperaments. They were icebergs, quiet, or lively, but all of them were beautiful and charming. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. Being able to join such a society was also a good thing. No matter what, it was pleasing to the eye. At this moment, a crisp female voice sounded. Chen Xin kicked her feet and jumped up and down. Out of breath, she said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Sister. I¡¯m late. Ye Fan, why are you here?¡± As she spoke, Chen Xin realized that Ye Fan was also here, looking confused. ¡°I forgot. You¡¯re all students of Class A of the first grade. You should be familiar with each other, right?¡± Xu Menghan cleared her throat and told him everything. With that, she looked at Chen Xin with a troubled expression. Chen Xin was now a member of the Rose Society. Before informing her, she had recruited a man into the society. Perhaps Chen Xin would not agree. Before Xu Menghan could comfort Chen Xin, she saw her shocked expression. ¡°Ye Fan wants to join the Rose Society? That¡¯s good. In the future, we¡¯ll be on the same side!¡± ¡­ Chapter 43 - 43 Competition with Heart Society 43 Competition with Heart Society Chen Xin¡¯s face was filled with joy and excitement as Xu Menghan looked at her. She turned to look at the smiling Ye Fan and curled her lips, not saying anything else. On the other side, Ye Fan finally remembered that Chen Xin had said that the Rose Society had a senior who was proficient in dragon-type Battle Pets. She must be talking about Su Wan¡¯er. He remembered that Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s pets were Sharp Thorn Dragon and Rock Dragon. In the following conversation, Ye Fan also learned that Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya had already become the president and vice president of the Rose Society three years ago. As for Su Wan¡¯er, she was already a second-year student. Including Chen Xin, there were only four people in the Rose Society. ¡°It was fine at first, but the fourth-year students had all quit the society. That¡¯s why this awkward situation happened.¡± Xu Menghan said. Most of the fourth-year students had joined the official organizations such as hunting teams. They had to complete their work and missions. They wouldn¡¯t come unless it was a big game or a big event. Of course, society business was no exception. ¡°When do we start?¡± ¡°In three days. I¡¯ll go to the academy¡¯s teacher to apply for a venue for the competition.¡± Ye Fan nodded, finally understanding. The two of them chatted for a while before Ye Fan left. Chen Xin watched Ye Fan leave with a smile on her face. After Ye Fan left, her gaze finally moved away from him. However, when she turned around and saw Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya looking at her strangely, Chen Xin¡¯s face immediately blushed and she turned away. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya looked at each other and smiled. Su Wan¡¯er stood at the side and stared at Chen Xin with a burning gaze. During this period of time, Ye Fan had been training in the Land of Demonic Souls. He was constantly killing monsters, constantly strengthening his Battle Pets, and also searching for low-grade Dark Crystals. Only Rank-3 monsters could drop low-grade Dark Crystals. As a result, Ye Fan explored the deepest parts of this area. After three days, he finally collected 20 low-grade Dark Crystal Stones. Afterwards, Ye Fan went to the Battle Pet Shop and sold the materials he had accumulated in exchange for credits. He then rushed to the large field in the center of the academy. Chen Xin¡¯s message said that the society battle would be held in the academy¡¯s sports field, so she asked Chen Fan to come quickly. The competition with the Heart Society would be held in the sports field. When Ye Fan arrived, it was already packed with people. The huge stands were filled with spectators, at least thousands of them. Laughter rose and fell. ¡°The people from Heart Society secretly spread the news of this competition.¡± Su Wan¡¯er ran over angrily. It was obvious that they wanted to defeat the Rose Society in front of all the students and severely humiliate them. Such an action was simply disgusting. ¡°Oh, you really dare to come?¡± Just as they were talking, an annoying voice came from behind. The president of the Heart Society, Guo Qi, slowly walked over with a group of people. ¡°Su Wan¡¯er, have you found anyone? Don¡¯t lose the competition just because you don¡¯t have enough people.¡± Cao Zhengji looked at the girls from the Rose Society and smiled mockingly. Glancing at Ye Fan, suspicion flashed in his eyes. Why would a man appear with the Rose Society? Su Wan¡¯er said with disdain, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. We already have enough people.¡± Hearing this, the members of Heart Society were all startled, all of them looking at Ye Fan. One had to know that on the Rose Society¡¯s side, other than Su Wan¡¯er and the others, it was him. ¡°A man joined your society?¡± ¡°Yeah, can¡¯t our society accept guys?¡± Cao Zhengji didn¡¯t know how to reply for a moment. He looked at Ye Fan with hatred. Although he was enemies with the Rose Society, he was still quite jealous that Ye Fan could enter a famous society of goddesses like the Rose Society. This was also what many boys were thinking. In an instant, Ye Fan felt hostile gazes from all directions. ¡­ ¡°What class is this guy in? Why haven¡¯t I heard of him before?¡± Cao Zhengji frowned slightly. Originally, he had thought of Ye Fan as a second-year student. At this moment, a new student walked out and whispered something. A trace of disdain appeared on Guo Qi and Cao Zhengji¡¯s faces. ¡°I thought he was a second-year student. So he¡¯s a first-year student.¡± ¡°Looks like your society had no choice. You actually let a first-year student join.¡± Cao Zhengji had a look of disdain. The other members of Heart Society also laughed out loud, their faces filled with disdain. So what if he was the King of Freshmen? In the end, he was still a first-year student. Even if he was talented, it would take him some time to become a true expert. Perhaps in a few years, Ye Fan would be able to surpass them. But right now, he was still a rookie. Participating in such a society competition held by seniors was equivalent to courting death. The conflict between the two societies had long since attracted the attention of many people. Hearing that the boy in the Rose Society was actually a new student, everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Ye Fan with sympathy. ¡°A first grader has joined too. What the hell is the Rose Society doing? Why aren¡¯t they looking for the second graders?¡± ¡°Most of the second-year students should have joined a society.¡± ¡°I just hope that the new student won¡¯t be seriously injured.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Cao Zhengji sneered in his heart. Not be seriously injured? I¡¯ll beat him to death! Chapter 44 - 44 The First Round of Battle Begins 44 The First Round of Battle Begins Ye Fan sensed a trace of malice in Cao Zhengji¡¯s eyes. He didn¡¯t say a word, coldly looking across. After mocking the Rose Society, the members of the Heart Society left. Su Wan¡¯er and Chen Xin gnashed their teeth in anger. Even Xu Menghan couldn¡¯t hide the anger on her face, but Xiao Qiuya was very calm. She comforted Ye Fan, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them. When the time comes, we¡¯ll just do our best. Victory isn¡¯t important.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Fan nodded, his expression indifferent. Xu Menghan finally reacted. She took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Ye Fan. ¡°Alright, this is my reward for you.¡± Ye Fan picked up a book and opened a page. Inside the box was red liquid. There was also a strange stone the size of an egg. It was golden in color, like a burning fireball. These two things were a drop of Abyssal Blood and a Golden Flame Stone. ¡°Thank you.¡± Xu Menghan¡¯s move caused Ye Fan to have a good impression of her. No matter what, these were both Rank-4 items, and they were very precious. Xu Menghan could give him the reward before the competition started, which showed her confidence in him. Moreover, they did not give him any feeling that they could win. ¡­ Ten minutes later, the referee and the staff arrived at the scene. The competition was about to begin. The Rose Society and the Heart Society were located on both sides of the field. In the middle of the square was a huge arena that had been temporarily built. In the stands, many students had expectant expressions. Clearly, they were filled with interest in the upcoming battle. ¡°Hehe, I just went on a training trip. When I came back, I encountered this society competition.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, I really don¡¯t understand why those guys from the Heart Society would do this. Everyone in the Rose Society is a beauty.¡± ¡°Brother, your information is too obsolete. The Rose Society has recruited a new boy.¡± ¡°Damn, wait, who¡¯s so lucky?¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s that guy. Sigh, he¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°Can you focus?¡± Finally, they were back on track. Only then did the audience focus on the two teams¡¯ rosters. The Rose Society¡¯s team was simple and straightforward. There were two third-year students participating, one second-year student, and two first-year students. The participants from Heart Society were even more powerful this time. Among the five of them, there were two third-year students and three second-year students. ¡°Damn, don¡¯t you have any shame? There¡¯s actually no new student.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. At least give the first-year students a spot.¡± ¡°What a rough man. He doesn¡¯t look like a gentleman at all.¡± ¡°I feel a little sorry for the Rose Society.¡± He heard the discussions around him. Cao Zhengji sneered. Elegance was not as important as true benefits. This was a very important competition. If he could win, his society¡¯s resources would be greatly improved in the next year. As a member of the Heart Society, he could also obtain many benefits. As long as he had enough cultivation materials, his chances of advancing to the third rank would be higher. Wouldn¡¯t this benefit be more tempting? Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Cao Zhengji¡¯s lips. His gaze landed on the few people in the Rose Society. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were both top three students from the third year. They were both very capable. As for these two people, it was naturally up to Guo Qi and Lin Weiping to deal with them. His target was the other three, especially this new student called Ye Fan. No matter how talented he was, it didn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll ruthlessly humiliate you in front of everyone. At the thought of trampling the young man in front of him on the ground, Cao Zhengji could not help but feel ecstatic. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the referee walked onto the stage and said loudly, ¡°The competition between the Heart Society and the Rose Society has officially begun.¡± ¡°The competition will use an elimination system. The loser will be kicked out of the competition. The winner will continue to stay on the field until a team of contestants are completely eliminated. The last person to stay on the field will be the winner.¡± ¡°Next, each society will send out a contestant.¡± BANG! Earth-shattering cheers immediately sounded from the stands. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Chen Xin stood up from her seat and slowly walked onto the arena. The Heart Society¡¯s member opposite her was also a second-year student. Everyone had expected such a situation. After all, in such a competition, both teams would send the weakest up first. Firstly, they wanted to see how strong the other party was. Secondly, they wanted the experts to be at the back so that they could react at any time. Walking onto the arena, Chen Xin immediately released her Herculean Infant Dragon. ¡°A high-level Rank-1 Herculean Infant Dragon.¡± On the other side, Lin Bin sneered and summoned his pet. A black python more than 30 feet long with wings on its back appeared in front of them. A snake with wings. It was a low-level Rank-2 pet. Lin Bin must be very capable to be sent to participate in such a large-scale competition. He also had a Rank-2 pet, but now, he clearly looked down on Chen Xin. Seeing this, Chen Xin made up her mind and ordered the Herculean Infant Dragon to attack. The outcome could be predicted. In just two minutes, the bloodied Herculean Infant Dragon was recalled by Chen Xin. ¡°Lin Bin wins.¡± The members of Heart Society gloated. Chen Xin left the arena dejectedly and sat back in the Rose Society¡¯s seat. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯ve done everything you can.¡± Xu Menghan comforted Chen Xin before turning her gaze to Ye Fan. ¡°Junior Brother Ye Fan, sorry to trouble you.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t say anything. He directly nodded and walked towards the arena. Chapter 45 - 45 Summon Your Second Pet 45 Summon Your Second Pet After Ye Fan went on stage, the audience began to discuss. ¡°He¡¯s this year¡¯s King of Freshmen?¡± ¡°How can there be such a good-looking person?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of looking good? He¡¯ll still be pressed down and beaten up later.¡± !! ¡°Don¡¯t be so sure. He¡¯s a King of Freshmen after all. How can he become the King of Freshmen if he doesn¡¯t have some skills?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but his opponent is Lin Bin, who¡¯s an expert in the second year. No matter how awesome a new student is, he can¡¯t beat him.¡± No one spoke again. After all, everyone thought so. There might be a difference in the degree of hard work, but talent could not be made up for by hard work. Especially in the early stages. Lin Bin was a student of Year 2, Class A. Everyone felt that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t his match at all. Below the arena. Cao Zhengji shook his head regretfully. ¡°Sigh, what a pity. If I had known that this kid would be the second to go on stage, I would have replaced Lin Bin.¡± Now, he had no chance to teach him a lesson. What a pity. In the arena. Lin Bin still only summoned the black python. He had no intention of summoning a second pet in the arena. He looked at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with disdain. ¡°What is the Rose Society thinking? They actually sent someone like you to fight in the arena.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t they just catch a random student in the second year?¡± Facing Lin Bin¡¯s mockery, Ye Fan smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll understand later.¡± ¡°But are you sure you don¡¯t want to summon your second pet?¡± The sneer on Lin Bin¡¯s face became even more obvious. ¡°If you want me to summon the second pet, defeat my black python first.¡± ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Ye Fan sneered and didn¡¯t say anything else. He directly summoned the Golden Sparrow. A light flashed. Golden Sparrow¡¯s bright figure appeared on the arena. In an instant, the chattering disappeared, and everyone fell silent. A moment later. The sound of exclamations rose and fell. ¡°F*ck, am I seeing things? Is this a f*cking Cute Sparrow?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that he¡¯s the King of Freshmen? Why is his pet a Cute Sparrow?¡± ¡°How did this pet pass the new student assessment?¡± ¡°Are you sure this isn¡¯t a joke?¡± Most students knew that Ye Fan was the King of Freshmen, but they didn¡¯t know that his pet beast was the Cute Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow suddenly appeared in front of them. Although they felt that it was a little different from the other Cute Sparrows, they still felt that it was not strong. A useless pet like the Cute Sparrow couldn¡¯t be associated with the words ¡°King of Freshmen¡±! Lin Bin¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. He had long heard of Ye Fan¡¯s basic situation. He knew that Ye Fan¡¯s pet beast just looked like a Cute Sparrow. ¡°But no matter what, it¡¯s only a Rank-1 pet.¡± Lin Bin still didn¡¯t take him seriously. Chen Xin, who was below the arena, saw all of Lin Bin¡¯s expressions and felt much more relaxed. Clearly, Heart Society¡¯s understanding of Ye Fan was still based on the entrance examination. However, it was understandable. It had only been a month since the entrance examination. In such a short period of time, one basically couldn¡¯t change much. No one would have thought that Ye Fan¡¯s strength would soar so quickly. Amidst the discussions, the referee gestured for Ye Fan and Lin Bin to prepare. His arm suddenly fell. ¡°Begin!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the black python quickly appeared. Its figure was as fast as lightning as it rushed towards the Golden Sparrow. Its movements were so fast that only an afterimage could be seen. In an instant. The black python opened its bloody mouth and attacked the Golden Sparrow with a bloody wind. Facing this sudden and violent attack, the Golden Sparrow stood rooted to the ground as if it was dumbfounded. It had no intention of dodging. ¡°Trash.¡± Seeing this scene, the ridicule on Lin Bin¡¯s face intensified. The audience booed. Although they all knew that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t Lin Bin¡¯s match, they hadn¡¯t expected him to lose so quickly. Just as everyone thought that the battle was over¡­ A crisp voice suddenly sounded. The audience immediately fell silent. Everyone widened their eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. Lin Bin¡¯s expression froze in an instant, looking comical. The black python¡¯s mouth bit the Golden Sparrow¡¯s neck tightly. As its sharp teeth gritted, they actually emitted a very clear sound like cutting metal. It was as if it was not biting the Golden Sparrow¡¯s flesh and blood, but incomparably hard steel. No matter how the black python twisted its body, it could not shake the Golden Sparrow¡¯s body at all. In the next second, the Golden Sparrow suddenly looked up. Its sharp mouth pecked at the black python¡¯s vitals. Blood spurted out. The black python¡¯s head and body instantly separated. Blood dyed the entire arena, and everyone trembled. Silence! Dead silence! Everyone was stunned. Lin Bin¡¯s expression was the ugliest. Ye Fan raised his eyes and glanced at him, his ethereal voice entering Lin Bin¡¯s ears. ¡°Summon your second pet!¡± Chapter 46 - 46 Instant Kill! 46 Instant Kill! Ye Fan¡¯s calm voice was extremely loud in the quiet plaza. It was as if he had thrown a stone on a quiet lake. The audience instantly could not remain calm. ¡°An instant kill? It was an instant kill?¡± ¡°Am I wrong? That¡¯s a low-level pet of the second rank!¡± ¡°This is too heaven-defying.¡± ¡°Look, remember what I said? The King of Freshmen must have his own outstanding points.¡± ¡°However, what we can confirm now is that his pet is definitely not a Cute Sparrow. The Cute Sparrow definitely doesn¡¯t have such a powerful ability!¡± Shocked voices came from all directions. No one had expected Ye Fan to be so powerful. A low-level pet of the second rank was instantly killed by his pet. That terrifying sharp beak really made one¡¯s scalp tingle. The low-level Rank-2 black python was actually pecked to death by its mouth! At this moment, the expressions of the people from Heart Society were ugly. Only now did they realize that they had all misjudged. Ye Fan wasn¡¯t a Rank-1 Beast Tamer at all. He had clearly advanced to Rank-2. Moreover, he was not low-level or intermediate. At the very least, he was at the high level. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to instantly kill Lin Bin¡¯s Black Python. ¡°Looks like the Rose Society already knew Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have made an exception and let him join.¡± Guo Qi said with a dark expression. Lin Weiping comforted him in a low voice. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Even if Lin Bin loses, our overall strength is still advantageous. It¡¯s only a 1:1 draw.¡± Hearing this, Guo Qi¡¯s expression softened. Xu Menghan, Xiao Qiuya, and the others were also very shocked. Although they had long known from Chen Xin that Ye Fan was a Rank-2 Beast Tamer, they only thought that he had reached the low-level of Rank 2. They did not expect him to be so strong. ¡°As expected of the most outstanding King of Freshmen in recent years.¡± Xu Menghan¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with amazement. Chen Xin was overjoyed, as if she wasn¡¯t praising Ye Fan, but her. Su Wan¡¯er stared at the Golden Sparrow¡¯s sharp beak and fell into deep thought. On the arena. Lin Bin¡¯s face turned from green to red and then white. When he heard Ye Fan ask him to summon his second pet beast, his face immediately turned purple. After all, he had said a few minutes ago that he didn¡¯t need to summon his second pet beast to defeat Ye Fan. However, the slap in the face came so quickly. Regardless of whether he lost or won today¡¯s battle, Lin Bin had lost a lot of face this time. In his anger, he did not care about anything else. Light flickered. A huge orange-yellow lizard instantly appeared in the arena. Bengal Lizard. An intermediate pet of the second rank. The giant lizard widened its yellow eyes and locked onto the Golden Sparrow. Its swift and fierce footsteps made the surrounding people tremble. However, the Golden Sparrow was still standing there in a daze. It was not flustered at all. It was not until the giant lizard rushed in front of it that the Golden Sparrow took the initiative to spit out flames. BOOM! A huge flame enveloped the entire arena. The giant lizard was not scared at all. It faced the intense heat wave and attacked the Golden Sparrow with irresistible force. Everyone should be able to predict the outcome of the battle. However, the outcome was different from their original thoughts. The giant lizard rushed into the huge flames. At first, it was fine. Suddenly, its entire body was on fire. It wriggled its body angrily and bared its teeth, looking extremely fierce. However, its speed was much slower than before. The Golden Sparrow stood on the spot and did not move. It only kept spitting out thick flames from its mouth. A burnt smell swept through the entire arena. The giant lizard slowly stopped struggling in the raging fire and lost its life. The fire kept burning. It illuminated Lin Bin¡¯s face. Lin Bin was completely stunned at this moment, his eyes filled with disbelief. The audience was silent for a moment before they suddenly heard someone shout. ¡°This is too f*cking awesome!¡± ¡°It can instantly kill an intermediate Rank-2 pet?¡± ¡°What kind of pet is this? It¡¯s actually so powerful?¡± ¡°This power is too terrifying!¡± Everyone looked at Ye Fan with incomparable shock. No one doubted Ye Fan¡¯s strength now. With just one skill, it could instantly kill an intermediate Rank-2 pet that was best at defense! There was no one like him in the entire second grade. How terrifying! In the Rose Society¡¯s waiting area. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er looked at each other. They could see the shock in each other¡¯s eyes. Ye Fan¡¯s performance had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. However, Chen Xin was the least surprised. Chen Xin had seen the true strength of the Golden Sparrow. Even a Rank-3 monster was not a match for the Golden Sparrow, let alone a Rank-2 pet. The surrounding shocked gazes all looked at Ye Fan. There was no change in the expression of the person involved. ¡°Next!¡± He looked past the pale Lin Bin and into the waiting area of the Heart Society. Chapter 47 - 47 Tip of the Iceberg 47 Tip of the Iceberg Lin Bin¡¯s failure was not enough to make Heart Society lose its advantage. However, this made them lose face. Everyone could see how arrogant and conceited Heart Society was previously. This was especially true for Ye Fan, who they had mocked. At this moment, he had casually defeated their members. This was simply the greatest joke in the world. This was undoubtedly a resounding slap to the Heart Society. The looks of ridicule coming from all directions made Guo Qi¡¯s expression turn even uglier. He grunted. ¡°Zhao Wei, you¡¯re up for the second round!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± When a tall and thin young man heard this, he stood up and walked towards the center of the arena. His back and footsteps¡­ No matter how others looked at him, it felt like he was bravely going to die. In fact, it was because Zhao Wei knew very well that his strength was not much greater than Lin Bin¡¯s. Since Lin Bin had been defeated in one blow, it was naturally impossible for him to be Ye Fan¡¯s match. Although the president didn¡¯t say it explicitly, he understood that he had been sent to test Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Although he didn¡¯t like the feeling of being cannon fodder, he was just a member of the society. Zhao Wei wasn¡¯t as arrogant as Lin Bin. After he went on stage, he directly summoned two pets. An intermediate Rank-2 pangolin. An intermediate Rank-2 Emei Mountain Monkey. The two pets quickly separated. One stood on the left and the other on the right. At the same time, they attacked the Golden Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow looked dazed and stupid. However, no one underestimated it anymore. Everyone knew that this seemingly silly Cute Sparrow contained a terrifying strength that made one shudder. After a while. The pangolin and the monkey approached the Golden Sparrow and attacked at the same time. The pangolin raised the spikes on its back. The Emei Mountain Monkey extended its sharp claws and attacked the Golden Sparrow at the same time. BOOM! The ear-piercing sound of sharp weapons cutting through steel could be heard. Zhao Wei was in despair. The Golden Sparrow was not injured at all. It was clearly just a sparrow. Why was its body so strong? Could two low-level pets do anything to him? The Golden Sparrow turned its head around and punched the Emei Mountain Monkey¡¯s neck. The latter did not even grunt. Its neck moved in response, twisting into a strange arc that was unimaginable. It died on the spot. Immediately after, the Golden Sparrow spat out a mouthful of flames on the pangolin. Under the burning of the flames, the pangolin¡¯s thick shell actually emitted a sizzling sound. It was as if steel had entered a furnace and slowly melted. In a breath. The two pets died one after another. Gasps sounded from the audience. Although everyone had guessed the outcome, they could not help but be shocked when they really saw this situation. Zhao Wei walked towards the arena with a pale face. The deaths of the two pets were a huge blow to him. They would need at least a week to be revived. The two participants were defeated one after another. There were only three people left in Heart Society. Guo Qi¡¯s face was as dark as ink. He waved at Cao Wuji. ¡°You go.¡± Cao Wuji nodded and walked towards the arena. After standing on the arena, he sinisterly stared at Ye Fan, not hiding the malice in his eyes at all. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be smug too early. I¡¯m not as easy to deal with as the two trash in front of you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll show you the difference between Year 1 and Year 2!¡± Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, his eyes bursting with interest. ¡°I hope so.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s calm appearance clearly didn¡¯t put him in his eyes at all. Cao Wuji felt extremely nauseous. You can be arrogant now. I¡¯ll beat you up later. Your mother won¡¯t even recognize you. The atmosphere in the arena was solemn. The audience was in high spirits. Up until now, other than the first round, the results of the two rounds had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Now, everyone was looking forward to the next competition. ¡°Is it possible for Ye Fan to defeat Cao Wuji?¡± ¡°I think the possibility is quite high. After all, didn¡¯t everyone see Ye Fan¡¯s strength just now?¡± ¡°You¡¯re wrong. Cao Wuji is different from the two people previously. His strength is ranked in the top ten in the second year. No matter how powerful Ye Fan is, he can¡¯t be so powerful, right?¡± ¡°You have a point.¡± ¡°This is going to be a tough game.¡± The students in the audience were excited and expectant. In the waiting area, Xu Menghan was a little worried. ¡°This Cao Wuji is very strong. If Junior Brother Ye Fan wants to defeat him, it¡¯ll probably be very difficult.¡± Su Wan¡¯er stroked her chin and said calmly, ¡°No matter what, Junior Brother Ye Fan has already done very well.¡± Hearing this, Xu Menghan was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement. Ye Fan being able to defeat two members of the Heart Society in a row was already very unexpected. Chen Xin listened to their conversation silently and a disapproving smile appeared on her face. How could Cao Wuji defeat Ye Fan?! Chapter 48 - 48 Bullying? 48 Bullying? Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, following the referee¡¯s order, the third match had begun! Light flashed in front of Cao Wuji, and two pets had already appeared. One was a serious and burly sculpture that was more than five meters tall. On the other side was a huge steel warrior holding a spear, exuding a violent aura. Clay Sculpture, Peak Rank 2. !! Blood Warrior, Peak Rank 2. Splash! The audience exploded. ¡°There are actually two peak Rank-2 beasts?¡± ¡°This is better than Lin Bin and Zhao Wei combined.¡± ¡°As expected of one of the top ten students in the second year.¡± ¡°Ye Fan is probably in trouble this time.¡± According to the strength displayed by the Cute Sparrow just now, it was probably at the peak of Rank-2. Coupled with its terrifying flames and indomitable defense, it still had a chance of winning against one peak Rank-2 beast, but it would be difficult to deal with two. Xu Menghan, who was waiting in the waiting area, could not help but become nervous. Su Wan¡¯er could not help but clench her fists. Her palms were covered in sweat. She only knew that Ye Fan was a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. She was very worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with these two peak Rank-2 pets. ¡°But doesn¡¯t Ye Fan have a Fierce Beast? Why didn¡¯t he summon it?¡± Su Wan¡¯er did not understand. Facing everyone¡¯s shock and doubt, Ye Fan was as calm as ever. It was as if what appeared in front of him was not a pet at the peak of the second rank at all, but two ordinary pets that could be seen everywhere. This made Cao Wuji very unhappy. A cold smile appeared on his face. ¡°Since you¡¯re a Rank-2 pet master, summon your the other pet too. Otherwise, you won¡¯t have the chance later.¡± Ye Fan calmly shook his head. ¡°Just defeat this pet first.¡± Lin Bin had said the same thing not long ago. But at this moment, Ye Fan returned it word for word, filled with mockery. Cao Wuji¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Since you¡¯re so confident, don¡¯t blame me for bullying you with numbers.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed in Ye Fan¡¯s direction. The Clay Sculpture and the Blood Warrior ferociously charged at Ye Fan and the Golden Sparrow. ¡°Bullying with numbers?¡± Ye Fan laughed and shook his head. The Golden Sparrow seemed to have gone crazy as it spat out flames. Flames condensed one after another, forming Cute Sparrows that was the same size as the Golden Sparrow. ! Cao Wuji widened his eyes in shock. A commotion immediately broke out around them. ¡°Damn, is he cheating?¡± ¡°Fire Control?! Even Cute Sparrows have such a skill?¡± ¡°To set up five summoned creatures of the same level at once, this is true bullying with numbers!¡± Hearing the last sentence, Cao Wuji felt his chest tighten. He could not breathe. However, he quickly adjusted himself and cursed in his heart. ¡°So what if there are many of them? How can he be a match for my pet at the peak of the second rank?¡± As his thoughts raced, the Clay Sculpture and the Blood Warrior had already rushed in front of the Golden Sparrow. A scene that Cao Wuji would never forget appeared. The Blood Warrior actually bumped into one of the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones. Then, it combusted as if it had encountered something flammable. The Clay Sculpture was also surrounded by clones. The clones seemed determined to die and rushed towards it relentlessly. The Clay Sculpture was burned by the flames, making the sound of exploding. After an unknown period of time, there was only a black fog on the ground. Cao Wuji¡¯s eyes almost popped out. What happened in front of him had already exceeded his understanding. The audience also gasped in unison. What exactly happened? They were just clones, but they were actually so much stronger than the other party¡¯s pet. That was a pet at the peak of the second rank. Everyone watched helplessly as the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones burned the Clay Sculpture and the Blood Warrior to ashes in an instant. Everyone did not know what to say for a moment. This was even more shocking than instantly killing the pangolin and the monkey. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was indifferent from beginning to end. How would they know? The Golden Sparrow was already a high-level Rank-3 pet. The clones summoned had the strength of low-level Rank-3. It was easy to deal with two peak Rank-2 monsters. Not to mention 5 against 2. In a few breaths. The Clay Sculpture and Blood Warrior that were filled with killing intent had already turned to ashes. The referee was shocked by the battle in front of him and could not recover for a long time. ¡°Teacher?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s voice pulled him back from his shock. The teacher took a deep look at Ye Fan and announced. ¡°Ye Fan of the Rose Society wins!¡± The surroundings fell silent for a moment. In the next second, thunderous applause rang through the clouds. The girl¡¯s scream tore through the sky. He was handsome, and he was also so powerful! Cao Wuji stood rooted to the ground in a daze. At this moment, he was doubting his life. Chapter 49 - 49 Genius 49 Genius Everyone¡¯s expressions were especially solemn. The cheers from the audience platform made Guo Qi and Lin Weiping¡¯s expressions turn ugly. The first-year members who had just entered the society lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads, afraid that they would get into trouble. At the beginning of the competition, they were all very arrogant. They had never expected the situation to turn around like this. They had originally thought that he was an ant, but Ye Fan had actually revealed such unbelievable strength. He had actually crushed three members of their society in a row. What was more unbelievable was that the pets of the three members who were fighting him were all killed by him. His methods were so straightforward and ruthless that he was really terrifying. For a moment, the morale of Heart Society fell to rock bottom. Guo Qi, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. ¡°We underestimated Ye Fan.¡± ¡°Looks like it¡¯s true that he broke the tester.¡± Lin Weiping nodded. Previously, all of them had been suspicious of this rumor. But after they truly saw Ye Fan¡¯s performance, this suspicion was dispelled. Guo Qi and Lin Weiping were both third-year elites. They had this bit of judgment. At this point. How could they not see that Ye Fan¡¯s Cute Sparrow wasn¡¯t a Rank-2 pet at all? It had clearly reached the third rank. Just the Cute Sparrow¡¯s clones were more than twice as strong as the Clay Sculpture and the Blood Warrior. To have a pet that could summon such powerful clones¡­ He was definitely not only at Rank 2. This also meant that Ye Fan was a Rank-3 Beast Tamer! Thinking of this, Guo Qi and Lin Weiping¡¯s hearts raced uncontrollably. Ye Fan was only 20 years old. He was already a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. There had never been such a stunning genius in the West Eagle Academy! As long as he continued to grow smoothly, it would not be difficult for him to become a Level 9 expert in the future. He might even reach the legendary level. As long as today passed. After the competition ended, Ye Fan¡¯s reputation would definitely spread throughout the entire West Eagle Academy. But now was not the time to consider this. Guo Qi was having a headache. Ye Fan¡¯s existence made the Heart Society fall into a disadvantageous position. ¡°Ye Fan definitely can¡¯t win anymore. We have to defeat him!¡± Guo Qi took a deep breath, his gaze darkly staring in Ye Fan¡¯s direction. It was useless to think too much now. The most important thing now was how to win. They could not lose today¡¯s battle! Lin Weiping nodded silently and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll go first. Observe his moves and see if there¡¯s a way to break them. If even you lose, then our Heart Society really has no hope of winning.¡± Guo Qi hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. He knew Lin Weiping¡¯s strength. He had quite a bit of confidence in defeating Ye Fan. Soon, Lin Weiping stood on the arena. ¡°Look, it¡¯s the vice president of Heart Society!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a third-year senior.¡± ¡°He¡¯s a Rank-3 Beast Tamer, right?¡± ¡°Definitely. His level is probably not low.¡± ¡°I wonder if Ye Fan can defeat him.¡± When everyone heard this, they did not continue. Everyone still remembered the previous battle. Ye Fan was truly too strange. Every time everyone thought he was going to lose, he would reveal his powerful strength in the blink of an eye. Who knew how strong this guy was? It was best not to be too confident, lest he slapped them in the face later. ¡°Senior, is this vice president very powerful?¡± A hint of worry appeared on Chen Xin¡¯s delicate face. She could not help but ask Su Wan¡¯er. Although she had always believed in Ye Fan¡¯s strength, he was also a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. This made her hesitate. Su Wan¡¯er said calmly. ¡°Lin Weiping is a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. His three pet beasts have all reached Rank-3. They¡¯re the low-level Rank-3 Petrifying Turtle, the intermediate Rank-3 Stone Golem, and the intermediate Rank-3 Fire God Bird.¡± The Petrifying Turtle was the evolved form of the Four-Armored Turtle. The Fire God Bird was the evolved form of the Flamingo. The Petrifying Turtle and the Stone Golem were both famous earth-type pets. Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s words made Chen Xin frown. Ye Fan had two Rank-3 pet beasts. However, the Scorching Fire self-destructed in the Fate Arena. Had it been resurrected? She didn¡¯t know. It was very difficult to win in a 1v3 battle. Even Chen Xin, who knew Ye Fan¡¯s true strength, was worried, let alone Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er, who didn¡¯t know. Their gazes followed Ye Fan, filled with worry. The battle soon began. Lin Weiping directly summoned all three pets. Now, he did not dare to be arrogant anymore. Ye Fan was truly too abnormal. He didn¡¯t know how strong he really was. As if they had realized what their master was thinking, the Fire God Bird, the Petrifying Turtle, and the Stone Golem all let out high-pitched howls. They attacked the Golden Sparrow fiercely. In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of the Golden Sparrow. And yet. A wave of heat swept towards them. Shua! The blood-red flames with dark killing intent emitted a faint green light that enveloped the entire arena. Chapter 50 - 50 The Final Battle! 50 The Final Battle! The soaring flames swept up a thick murderous aura. The three pets stopped in unison. Upon closer inspection, one could see that their bodies were trembling slightly, and fear appeared in their eyes. Their bodies froze on the spot. At this moment, they were like wooden stakes, unable to fight back. Seeing this, the Golden Sparrow quickly swooped down and attacked them. Heh! The Golden Sparrow bent down and rushed over, its sharp claws grabbing the Fire God Bird. This was the first time the Golden Sparrow had taken the initiative to attack since coming on stage. Its huge wings made a whooshing sound along with the airflow. The Fire God Bird, who also had wings but was in a daze, was grabbed by the Cute Sparrow that was like an eagle catching a chick. Its entire body curled up into a ball, and its eyes were filled with shock and fear. After flying a few meters high, it let go of the Fire God Bird. Only then did the Fire God Bird react. It spread its wings and planned to escape. In the next moment. The feathers of the Golden Sparrow turned into sharp swords that slid through the sky and pierced through the Fire God Bird¡¯s body. Accompanied by painful bird cries, the Fire God Bird lost its life in the sky it was so proud of. At the same time, the Golden Sparrow released three clones. The clone charged straight at the Stone Golem. The flames burned, and the Stone Golem struggled in pain, unable to resist at all. Before it could play any role, it had already left with the Fire God Bird. At this moment, the Petrifying Turtle reacted in a daze. However, it was the only one left on the field. The scene fell into a strange silence. The Petrifying Turtle stood rooted to the ground, at a loss. Everyone in the audience and waiting area was stunned. They opened their mouths wide and looked at the situation on the arena in shock. They had originally thought that it would be an abnormally intense and evenly matched battle. But now, the situation had changed. The two third-rank pets didn¡¯t even resist. They had been instantly killed? This was simply unprecedented. After a long while. Someone in the audience reacted. ¡°F*ck, is this for real?¡± ¡°What was the fire it released at the beginning? Why were the three pets so stupid? Were they all stunned on the spot?¡± ¡°The feathers of this Cute Sparrow can actually be used as sharp swords?¡± ¡°Is this a Cute Sparrow or not? This is too awesome. Why did I smell a Domain on that fire just now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too strong. It instantly killed Lin Weiping¡¯s pets. Lin Weiping is probably going to lose this time.¡± Everyone was so surprised, let alone the person involved. Lin Weiping¡¯s heart ached. At the moment, there was only the Petrifying Turtle left on the field. His defeat was destined. He was an elite third-year student after all, but he had actually lost to a new student just like that. Not to mention being instantly killed. He felt like vomiting blood. If someone had said the day before that he would lose to a new student today, he would definitely beat him up so badly that his mother wouldn¡¯t recognize him. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were also a little stunned. The two of them opened their mouths in an O shape, not knowing what to say. ¡°Too, too awesome!¡± Xu Menghan came back to her senses and sighed. This Ye Fan was too awesome. The other party was an elite third-year student, but he was instantly killed. If it were her, she would not have won so easily. ¡°Genius, he¡¯s simply a genius!¡± Xu Menghan sighed again and again. Although Su Wan¡¯er looked very calm, if one observed carefully, it was not difficult to see the change in the corners of her lips. Clearly, she was not calm either. Everyone¡¯s gazes fell on Ye Fan. They were shocked, worshipful, or curious. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ye Fan easily dealt with the Petrifying Turtle. The referee announced Ye Fan¡¯s victory. Currently, there was only one person left in Heart Society. Lin Weiping returned to the preparation area in shock. The audience looked at Guo Qi. ¡°How unexpected!¡± ¡°Heart Society is left with only one person.¡± ¡°At first, I thought that the winner would definitely be Heart Society.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that someone would come out of nowhere. This Ye Fan is really awesome.¡± ¡°Wait, if Ye Fan wins Guo Qi in the next round, won¡¯t he be defeating all his opponents on his own?¡± ¡°In that case, that would be funny. Hahaha!¡± Guo Qi heard everyone¡¯s discussion clearly. In the current situation, the failure of Heart Society was already a certainty. Even if he defeated Ye Fan, there were still Su Wan¡¯er, Xiao Qiuya, and Xu Menghan behind him. Whether it was Xiao Qiuya or Xu Menghan, they were both very strong opponents. It was fine to deal with one, but he was not confident that he could defeat two people in a row. Thinking of the consequences of losing the society battle, he felt his heart bleed. Looking at Ye Fan on the arena, he found him even more unpleasant to the eye. If Ye Fan hadn¡¯t interfered, how could they have been so passive? ¡°One defeating five? Dream on!¡± When he saw Guo Qi, his eyes revealed hatred. Ye Fan¡¯s lips curled up. Perfect. He did not take the initiative to admit defeat, saving Ye Fan the trouble of provoking him. If Guo Qi admitted defeat like this, his mission would be difficult to complete. [One Crushing Five: Defeat 5 members of Heart Society. You will receive 400 evolution points after completing the mission.] Chapter 51 - 51 Breaking the Rules 51 Breaking the Rules The moment Ye Fan stepped onto the arena, the system had already issued a mission. Ye Fan mockingly looked at Guo Qi. Guo Qi did not hide the hatred on his face, and the resentment in his eyes was about to overflow. ¡°He was the one who caused trouble first. Now that he¡¯s about to lose, he¡¯s acting like someone else killed his parents?¡± Ye Fan helplessly sighed, not understanding. The referee gestured that the competition was about to begin. Only then did Ye Fan¡¯s attention turn away from Guo Qi. The spectators in the audience were in an uproar again. ¡°Begin!¡± In front of Guo Qi, a shadow flashed and three pets immediately appeared on the arena. An intermediate Rank 3 Plum Blossom Leopard. A high-level Rank-3 Desert Cactus. A Peak Rank-3 Skeleton. The aura of the third-rank pets quickly slowed down. The Desert Cactus looked like an ordinary cactus, but the yellow flower on its head was strangely yellowish-brown. Under the sunlight, everyone could clearly see a small person sitting inside with a hateful expression and an evil smile on his face. As its name suggested, the Plum Blossom Leopard was covered in plum blossom patterns. The moment it flew forward, more than a hundred stone spikes suddenly stabbed at the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones. The stone spikes blocked the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones¡¯ path. At this moment, the Desert Cactus had unknowingly produced green vines that swept past the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones and pointed at it. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones did not have the powerful physique of the Golden Sparrow. At this moment, the few clones had already disintegrated. The battle became more and more intense. The Desert Cactus attacked remotely and the Skeleton attacked at close range. The two sides fought fiercely. The scene was very splendid. It was obvious that the Desert Cactus and the Skeleton often worked together. Under their skilled cooperation, although the Golden Sparrow was not at a disadvantage, it was a little strained. At this moment, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones were completely destroyed. Guo Qi was a little excited. Finally, he saw a turning point. However, to his surprise, the Golden Sparrow opened its mouth again, and several clones appeared again. Previously, there were three clones, but now there were six. Seeing this scene, the smug expression on Guo Qi¡¯s face instantly disappeared. Just now, he had only managed to destroy all its clones because he had seized the initiative. These clones were really endless! ¡°No, I can¡¯t continue like this. If this continues, I won¡¯t be Ye Fan¡¯s match at all.¡± Guo Qi¡¯s expression changed again and again. After a moment, he spat out a mouthful of saliva and made a decision. Suddenly. The Desert Cactus, which had been releasing vines non-stop, quickly put them away. It turned to Ye Fan. The clones were clones after all. Their reactions were a step too slow. It was too late for them to stop it. The Plum Blossom Leopard and Skeleton also clung to the Golden Sparrow¡¯s main body like crazy. Obviously, at this moment. Ye Fan¡¯s pets were simply unable to escape. He could only watch as the Desert Cactus flew towards him. ¡°Damn it!¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya¡¯s expressions changed. Suddenly, they stood up and glared at Guo Qi. This Guo Qi was actually so despicable. In order to win, he actually planned to attack Ye Fan! The audience was also discussing. Although there were no obvious rules and regulations stipulating that the Beast Tamer shouldn¡¯t be attacked in the competition, this was a competition organized by the academy after all. It was not a life and death battle. There was no need to make it so bloody. This had always been a tacit rule. They hadn¡¯t expected Guo Qi to go against everyone¡¯s tacit agreement today and attack Ye Fan himself. ¡°Despicable person!¡± ¡°Guo Qi is too much. He¡¯s even doing anything to win!¡± ¡°Stop him!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over. Ye Fan is finished this time. There¡¯s no time to stop him!¡± Ye Fan hadn¡¯t expected Guo Qi to actually attack him, so he didn¡¯t take any protective measures. It was clearly too late to prepare now. However, even so, his expression was calm and there was no panic on his face. Just as the Desert Cactus rushed in front of him, light shot out in all directions in front of Ye Fan. A petite figure suddenly rushed out to block him. Fox Light! The Desert Cactus could not control its body¡¯s inertia at all and rushed straight into the fox light. A huge ball of white light quickly exploded, completely drowning the Desert Cactus. ¡°Second pet!¡± The onlookers were shocked. Only then did they realize that Ye Fan was a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. Naturally, he had more than one pet. But because Ye Fan had only used the Golden Sparrow before, everyone had forgotten about this matter. When the light dissipated, there were many electric scars on the Desert Cactus¡¯s body. It was obvious that it had suffered serious injuries. Above his head, a snow-white fox stood, its huge tail fluffy and cute. It was a Hunter Fox. Chapter 52 - 52 Great Victory! 52 Great Victory! ¡°It¡¯s actually a Hunter Fox!¡± Someone exclaimed. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were also very surprised. Hunter Foxes were famous pets. They were extremely rare among third-rank pets. !! Moreover, Hunter Foxes could evolve all the way to the peak of Rank 9. They were very precious. To date, the number of times the Hunter Foxes had appeared in the entire continent was single digit. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Junior Brother Ye Fan¡¯s second pet beast to be a Hunter Fox!¡± Xu Menghan was very envious and surprised. Chen Xin was not too surprised. She knew that Ye Fan¡¯s second pet wasn¡¯t the Hunter Fox. Presumably, this should be Ye Fan¡¯s third pet. However, she was also surprised that Ye Fan could contract a Hunter Fox. Her thoughts went deeper. She thought for a moment and understood. This Hunter Fox was most likely the spoils of war Ye Fan had obtained in the Fate Arena. Hunter Foxes were extremely rare pets after all. Not many people present could recognize its breed at first glance. However, the Hunter Fox was too cute. Many girls were attracted by its appearance and screamed loudly. Moreover, under its unique charm talent, even many boys looked at it with infatuation. The only one with an ugly expression was Guo Qi, who was in the arena. The Hunter Fox in front of him was at least a high-level Rank-3 pet. It might even be a pet at the peak of the third rank. As long as it was by Ye Fan¡¯s side, the Desert Cactus wouldn¡¯t be able to touch him. The only way he could win this competition was gone. Guo Qi¡¯s heart turned cold. Sizzle! An ear-piercing voice pulled Guo Qi out of his regret. He looked up and saw countless white balls of light appear around the Hunter Fox, flashing with lightning. As the Hunter Fox let out a cry. Dense lightning swept through the entire body of the Desert Cactus. Thunder God¡¯s Blade! Under intense fear, the Desert Cactus quickly dodged, but when it met the Hunter Fox¡¯s pupils, it was in a daze for a moment. Purple Eye Illusion! The trance lasted for a moment. However, when it came back to its senses, it was unable to dodge in time and was instantly drowned by countless lightning balls. Slash! The pet¡¯s blood sizzled under the burning of the lightning. In the blink of an eye, the Desert Cactus was severely injured. Under the continuous fierce attacks of the Hunter Fox, it only lasted for a minute before it was completely charred by the lightning. On the other side, the Plum Blossom Leopard had lost the cooperation of the Desert Cactus. At this moment, it had already been surrounded and killed by the Golden Sparrow¡¯s clones. The Skeleton had lived a little longer, but it was still pierced by the Golden Sparrow¡¯s feathers. Soon, it followed in the footsteps of its companions. All three pets died. The Hunter Fox did not stop there. It quickly rushed to Guo Qi¡¯s side and swung its tail fiercely. Guo Qi did not have the ability to fight back at all. He was sent flying a few meters out of the arena by a tail. ¡°Ah!¡± A sharp howl instantly resounded throughout the square. Guo Qi held his arms in pain. His face was distorted as he rolled on the ground and howled. Seeing him like this, the referee¡¯s eyelids twitched, but he did not say anything. Guo Qi was the first to break the rules. Since that was the case, there was nothing wrong with Ye Fan returning the favor. The students in the audience did not have any sympathy for him. Instead, they felt that he had brought this upon himself. ¡°Ye Fan of the Rose Society wins!¡± ¡°Rose Society wins this society competition!¡± The referee announced the final result. Earth-shattering cheers instantly exploded in the audience. ¡°Oh my god, he really won!¡± ¡°It¡¯s really one crushing five!¡± ¡°Ye Fan really is a dark horse!¡± ¡°A 20-year-old Rank-3 Beast Tamer. He¡¯s simply a genius.¡± ¡°Comparisons are really infuriating. I¡¯m already in the third grade, and I¡¯m still a Rank-2 Beast Tamer!¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re pure trash¡­¡± The Rose Society was also filled with joy. A bright and happy smile appeared on Xu Menghan¡¯s exquisite face. Not only did the victory of this society competition resolve the difficulties that Heart Society had made for them, but they could also obtain an additional large amount of resources. This would be extremely beneficial to the society¡¯s future development. More importantly, this was also a warning to the other societies. After today¡¯s battle, the other societies would probably not dare to have any designs on the Rose Society. All of this was thanks to Ye Fan. Looking at the handsome young man in the arena, Xu Menghan¡¯s eyes were shining. She was very glad that she had listened to Xiao Qiuya¡¯s advice in the beginning. If she hadn¡¯t listened to Xiao Qiuya and recruited Ye Fan into Rose Society, how could they have won today? Chen Xin was overjoyed, and her smile was about to bloom. Even the usually calm Su Wan¡¯er had a faint smile on her face. In the joyous atmosphere, the person in question was calmly checking his gains. [Quest completed: 400 evolution points.] ¡°400 evolution points can unlock two to three skills and talents.¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. The Hunter Fox had yet to unlock its skills and talents. There were two types that the Golden Sparrow could unlock. They were low-level Elemental Resistance and low-level Debuff Resistance. However, they were useless in increasing combat strength. He decided not to unlock them for the time being. Thinking of this, he could only use it on the Scorching Fire. ¡°When the Scorching Fire revives, I¡¯ll unlock its talent and skills.¡± Ye Fan made his decision. Chapter 53 - 53 Bounty Mission 53 Bounty Mission Everyone was very excited to see Ye Fan come down from the arena. ¡°Ye Fan, you¡¯re so awesome!¡± Chen Xin looked at him with admiration, her eyes sparkling. Su Wan¡¯er looked at the depressed atmosphere of the Heart Society opposite her with a smug expression. ¡°He was so arrogant before.¡± !! As soon as she said this, everyone could not help but snicker. Xu Menghan continued. ¡°Junior Brother Ye Fan, this matter is all thanks to you.¡± Ye Fan nodded. ¡°We¡¯re just taking what we need.¡± ¡°Even so, we¡¯re still very grateful to you. If you need our help in the future, feel free to ask.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with her. He smiled and nodded. The four girls of the Rose Society were all from Beast Tamer families and had very good connections. As his pets¡¯ level increased, the purification materials needed in the future would become more and more rare. The difficulty of finding them would increase exponentially. At that time, he might really have to trouble them to help. ¡°Let¡¯s find a place to celebrate for Ye Fan!¡± Su Wan¡¯er suggested. As she spoke, she directly grabbed Ye Fan¡¯s arm. Seeing her like this, the smile on Chen Xin¡¯s face suddenly stiffened. She quickly grabbed Ye Fan¡¯s other arm. ¡°Sure. I know a good restaurant around here.¡± ¡­ Seeing them like this, Ye Fan was speechless. In public, men and women should not touch each other. But Su Wan¡¯er and Chen Xin didn¡¯t care what Ye Fan wanted to say at all. They pulled him out of the school. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya looked at each other and smiled. They did not say anything and followed. This scene fell into the eyes of many students nearby. Envy more or less appeared in their eyes, but no one showed jealousy, at least not on their faces. Anyone with a brain knew that as long as today passed, Ye Fan would definitely be a rising star of the academy. His future was bright. It was normal for such a person to be surrounded by beauties. ¡­ The club battle continued, but Ye Fan had never paid attention to it. To him, constantly increasing his strength was the most important thing. Currently, the evolution materials of the Golden Sparrow had been gathered. When its growth reached 100%, it could evolve again. The Scorching Fire was short of the low-level Fire Crystal. But this was not a big problem. Low-level Fire Crystals could be bought in the pet material mall, but this required an expensive amount of credit points. ¡°One low-level Fire Crystal¡¯s market price is 2,000 credit points, and 10 of them are 20,000 credit points.¡± Ye Fan roughly calculated his current savings. Although Beast Tamers made a lot of money, the expenses were also high. Some time ago, he had already spent a large sum of credit points to buy low-level dark crystals. He did not even have 10,000 credit points left. ¡°Looks like I have to think of a way to earn some money.¡± After thinking for a while, Ye Fan took out his phone and logged into the Adventurer¡¯s Association¡¯s website. Only Beast Tamers could register as explorers of the Adventurer¡¯s Association. The Adventurer¡¯s Association was mainly a medium for posting and accepting missions. The latter was more important to Ye Fan. Accepting missions and completing them was the main source of income for Beast Tamers? Currently, Ye Fan had never accepted any bounty missions. He spent all his time searching for evolution materials. Soon. Ye Fan successfully registered on the website and officially became an explorer. There were different levels of explorers. From high to low, there were Champion, Diamonds, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. It was said that there was a Grandmaster at the top. But so far, there were very few explorers who had reached the Grandmaster level. Newbie Explorers were naturally at the Bronze level. After carefully understanding the rules and regulations of the Adventurer¡¯s Association, he directly opened the mission list and carefully picked his mission. A Bronze-rank explorer like him could only accept Bronze-rank missions. However, if he wanted to accept a higher-level bounty mission, he had to pay a certain deposit. This kind of mission was called a Yellow-Silver mission. Thus, Ye Fan¡¯s current goal was these two kinds of missions. There were many types of missions with rewards: Protection, Investigation, Collection of Materials, Cleaning Magical Beasts, and Exploration. Soon. Ye Fan¡¯s gaze locked onto his target. ¡°Mission Details: Kill the Blood Greedy Dark Demon in the Endless Forest!¡± ¡°Mission Level: Yellow Silver!¡± ¡°Bounty: 40,000 credit points!¡± ¡°Mission duration: 4 days!¡± ¡°Note: The Blood Greedy Dark Demon is a Peak Rank-3 dark-type Magical Beast. Explorer, please pay attention to your safety.¡± The Endless Forest was located in a Magical Beast gathering area about 20 kilometers west of the sea. Coincidentally, the Green Divine Wood grew there. Not only could he carry out missions there, but he could also collect purification materials. It was simply killing two birds with one stone. Scrolling through the mission list, Ye Fan¡¯s heart slightly shook. ¡°Dark-type Magical Beast? I¡¯ve never seen such a Magical Beast before.¡± Chapter 54 - 54 Withering Forest 54 Withering Forest Dark-type Magical Beasts were very special among Magical Beasts. There were very few Magical Beasts that were excluded from pets, and dark-type Magical Beasts were among them. The reason was that if Beast Tamers contracted a dark-type Magical Beast, Beast Tamers with weak minds would be contaminated by the dark attribute of the Magical Beast, causing their emotions to become chaotic and depraved. Because of this, Dark-type Magical Beasts were also known as the symbol of evil. However, at the same time, dark-type Magical Beasts grew quickly and their strength increased very quickly. Beast Tamers who contracted dark-type Magical Beasts were stronger than ordinary Beast Tamers. It was precisely because of this that even though many Beast Tamers clearly knew the danger of dark-type Magical Beasts, they still chose to contract them. ¡°Peak Rank-3. This strength isn¡¯t too difficult to deal with.¡± Ye Fan looked at the bounty mission and muttered to himself. With such a high reward of 40,000 credit points, it was enough for him to buy 10 low-grade Fire Crystals. Ye Fan directly accepted this mission without any hesitation. He put away his phone, packed up a little, and walked out of the city. ¡­ More than an hour later. In a forest ten kilometers west of the sea, a car slowly stopped. Ye Fan paid the taxi fare and got out of the car. The car quickly left. Ye Fan didn¡¯t look back as he walked into the forest. The sun had just risen, and the sky was suffused with a faint white light. There were already many explorers gathered in front of the entrance of the Endless Forest. There were even two or three hunter teams. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s young face, they were all a bit surprised. ¡°Who is he? Why does he look so young?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. He¡¯s probably a student from some academy. He looks like a new student who just entered.¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? What are new students doing here? The Land of Demonic Souls is suitable for new students to train, right?¡± ¡°Who knows? Perhaps he¡¯s bold.¡± The Magical Beasts in the Endless Forest were generally between the third and fourth rank. It was said that even fifth-rank Magical Beasts were very common in the depths of the forest. This place had always been the training ground for senior Beast Tamers. New Beast Tamers would not come to this place at all. Coming to this place was no different from courting death. Any Magical Beast was like a big boss to new Beast Tamers. Ye Fan ignored the gazes around him. His feet didn¡¯t stop as he directly stepped into the Endless Forest. After entering the forest, his vision was blocked by the tall trees, and the environment gradually darkened. Withered leaves and mud covered the ground. Walking on them made cracking sounds, making people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. The yellowish darkness enveloped the entire forest. The wind was especially cold. It whistled through the branches, making creaking sounds. The darkness in the distance seemed endless. This was why it was called the Endless Forest. ¡°This is a good place to make a horror movie.¡± Ye Fan sighed and thought for a moment before summoning the Scorching Fire and the Golden Sparrow. The Scorching Fire had already been revived last night. Most of the Magical Beasts in the Endless Forest were of the wood attribute, and the fire attribute countered the wood attribute. Ye Fan specially summoned the scorching flames. If he encountered a monster, the Scorching Fire would definitely be able to play its greatest role. ¡°According to the mission introduction, that Blood Greedy Dark Demon is active in the periphery of the Endless Forest.¡± Just as Ye Fan was thinking this, a soft voice interrupted his thoughts. He quickly turned around and saw a human-like shrub creature covered in thorny branches slowly walking out from behind a tree. There was a pile of green flames on its head, and its two arms were like withered tree branches. Its two eyes were tightly staring at Ye Fan. The Black Wood Demon was the most common Magical Beast in the Endless Forest. It was a high-level Rank-3 creature. Moreover, the Green Divine Wood Ye Fan was looking for was produced by the Black Wood Demon¡¯s leader, a Rank-4 Commander-level Magical Beast. ¡°Kill it!¡± Ye Fan pointed in the direction of the Black Wood Demon and excitedly shook his body. A strange smile appeared on his face as he quickly pounced over. The Golden Sparrow stood beside Ye Fan, vigilantly watching its surroundings. The battle was about to begin. The Scorching Fire instantly illuminated the darkness of the Endless Forest, launching a fireball fiercely at the Black Wood Demon. When the fireball touched the Black Wood Demon¡¯s body, it quickly exploded, directly tearing apart half of its body. The flames quickly burned and spread from the parts that were hit. This sudden change caught the Black Wood Demon off guard. It subconsciously slapped the flames on its body. But in the next second, the flames burned even more fiercely, exactly the same as what Ye Fan had expected. Although the high-level Rank-3 Black Wood Demon was a level higher than the Scorching Fire, it was still beaten until it could not fight back. It was both because the strength of the Scorching Fire far exceeded those of the same level, and because fire countered wood. In a moment, the Black Wood Demon had already been burned into a black ball of gas. Ye Fan looked at the interface. The growth of the Scorching Flame had increased by 1.5%. He nodded in satisfaction and left. Not long after Ye Fan left, another group also arrived. Looking at the Black Wood Demon¡¯s corpse on the ground, an explorer exclaimed. ¡°Someone just passed by here.¡± Someone checked the surrounding traces and praised. ¡°There are almost no traces of battle around. This means that the Black Wood Demon died without much resistance. That person must be very strong.¡± ¡°Could it be the young man who walked in front of us?¡± ¡°Probably, because he¡¯s the only one walking in this direction.¡± ¡°No wonder he dared to come to the Endless Forest alone. So his strength is not bad.¡± ¡°He¡¯s already a Rank 3 Beast Tamer at such a young age. His future is limitless.¡± As everyone walked forward, they sighed and chatted. But as they walked deeper and deeper, the smiles on their faces disappeared. On the way, they saw many charred Black Wood Demon corpses. There were more than 40 of them. There was a place where six Black Wood Demon corpses were neatly piled up. ¡°They¡¯re still warm up here,¡± someone said with a dark expression. ¡°He just left.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, speechless. After an unknown period of time, the leader squeezed out a dry voice from his throat. ¡°Did you hear any fighting?¡± Everyone shook their heads at the same time. They could see the surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. There was no sound, which meant that that person had quickly dealt with the five Black Wood Demons in an instant. This strength was truly so powerful that it made them click their tongues. Even a team like theirs would have to spend a lot of time and effort to deal with five Black Wood Demons at once. This was simply impossible for them. ¡°There¡¯s really someone better.¡± The captain couldn¡¯t help but sigh. No one would have thought that such a young person was actually stronger than everyone in their team combined. Ye Fan continued to farm monsters as he advanced. He did not know that there was a team behind him that was constantly exclaiming about his achievements. Soon, he arrived at the core of the Endless Forest. ¡°That Blood Greedy Dark Demon should be in this area.¡± Ye Fan thought for a moment and directly summoned the Hunter Fox. After the Hunter Fox appeared, it jumped onto Ye Fan¡¯s left shoulder and affectionately rubbed against his cheek. ¡°Go around and see if there are any Dark Magical Beasts nearby.¡± The Hunter Fox nodded obediently and quickly disappeared. Ye Fan watched its back disappear from his sight and patiently waited. The reason why he handed this search mission to the Hunter Fox was not only because it was very fast, but also because it had a very unique talent. ¡°Thousand-meter Detection: Within a thousand meters, it can sense the existence of all the nearby creatures. The closer it is, the more accurate its perception will be.¡± Thus, if any creature appeared, Ye Fan would definitely know. This was best for searching for Magical Beasts. About five minutes later, the Hunter Fox returned. It called out at Ye Fan, its cries filled with pride. ¡°You¡¯ve found it?¡± Ye Fan smiled and dotingly patted the Hunter Fox¡¯s head. ¡°Good for you.¡± ¡°Qiu!¡± The Hunter Fox revealed a happy expression. Ye Fan didn¡¯t waste any time and directly walked in the direction the Hunter Fox had pointed. Before he reached his destination, he heard the commotion of a battle. In order to avoid alerting the other party, he put away the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox, leaving only the Golden Sparrow. He carefully moved in that direction. Soon, he arrived near an open space. He hid behind a tree and looked forward. He saw that an intense battle was being carried out in the open space. On one side, there seemed to be a hunter team. There were about ten people in the team, and there were at least 30 pets under their command. On the other side was an ugly and huge Magical Beast. Its entire body seemed to be made of flesh and blood. Its limbs were blurry, making it impossible to tell where its facial features and limbs were. From afar, it looked like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood piled up with rotten meat. The sticky liquid on its body sometimes protruded and sometimes turned into black tentacles. It broke through the air and whipped fiercely at the pets around it. Even though it was alone, it still firmly had the upper hand. ¡°Is this the Blood Greedy Dark Demon?¡± Ye Fan carefully observed the monster in front of him. It was 99% similar to the photo of the target that he was holding. He quietly observed from the side. He discovered that the Blood Greedy Dark Demon¡¯s vitality and defense were very remarkable. The pets¡¯ attacks only landed on the squirming flesh on his skin, as if they had hit cotton. They did not cause any damage to it. Most of them were either bounced off or landed on the ground. Only very few energy and elemental attacks could cause a certain amount of damage to it. Chapter 55 - 55 Blood Greedy Dark Demon 55 Blood Greedy Dark Demon Even so, after suffering these injuries, its injuries quickly recovered. He clearly saw that after its injuries accumulated to a certain extent, it directly stretched out its tentacles, grabbed a pet beside it, and stuffed it into its body. The pet seemed to have turned into nourishment. Not long after, its injuries healed. It was even more tenacious than an unkillable cockroach. ¡°No wonder the bounty is 40,000 credit points. With this combat power, it can almost compare to a low-level Rank-4 Magical Beast.¡± Ye Fan clicked his tongue in wonder. At the thought of this, he stopped hiding his figure and walked out openly. ¡­ Ren Hongchang was very regretful now. He had long heard that a Dark Magical Beast had recently appeared in the core area of the Endless Forest. It was said that many explorers had already died at the hands of that Magical Beast. However, he was still hoping for a fluke and did not believe this news. Even if this news was true, they might not be so unlucky to encounter it. Therefore, when the hunters suggested going deeper into the forest, he did not stop them. However, their luck was so bad that they actually encountered the rumored Dark Magical Beast. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon was famous for its tenacious vitality and was very difficult to deal with. Ren Hongchang¡¯s Red Maple Hunter Team could barely squeeze into the second tier in the Adventurer¡¯s Association. The members of the Red Maple Hunter Team were generally only at the second rank. The only one who could do anything was their captain, an intermediate Rank-3 Beast Tamer. Their strength was not enough to deal with this peak Rank-3 Magical Beast whose combat strength was actually comparable to a peak Rank-4. From the beginning of the battle, they had been at a disadvantage. As time passed, the casualties gradually increased, and the Blood Greedy Dark Demon became more and more courageous. Seeing the Blood Greedy Dark Demon¡¯s high spirits, the members of the Red Maple Hunters could not help but reveal despair. They didn¡¯t dare to throw away their pets and escape on their own. If they lost their pets now, they would not be able to resist the Black Wood Demons outside. ¡°What should we do? The captain and the pets can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡± ¡°Damn, why is this monster so tenacious!¡± ¡°If this continues, we¡¯re all going to die.¡± ¡°It ate another pet!¡± One of the team members could not take it anymore and shouted in fear. Ren Hongchang was conflicted, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and made a decision. It was better to abandon the pets now than to stay here and wait for death. After all, there was still a chance of survival after abandoning them. On the bright side, if they were lucky enough to escape now, they might not encounter any Magical Beasts on the way. Just as he was about to escape with everyone, he saw a person walk out from behind a tree from the corner of his eye. Beside that guy was a Cute Sparrow. Although he was at a disadvantage now, Ren Hongchang could not help but be shocked by the combination in front of him. A handsome young man and a Cute¡­ Sparrow? Cute Sparrow! After he reacted, Ren Hongchang¡¯s eyes widened. Why would a trash pet of this level appear in the Endless Forest? When the others saw Ye Fan, they also revealed shocked expressions. ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Ye Fan pointed at the Blood Greedy Dark Demon not far away, as if he hadn¡¯t seen everyone¡¯s expressions. ¡­ Hearing this, many people in the Red Maple Hunter Team revealed strange expressions. It was not their fault. A young man with a Cute Sparrow suddenly said that he wanted to help them deal with the Blood Greedy Dark Demon. No matter who it was, they would find it unbelievable! ¡°And you are?¡± Ren Hongchang, the leader of the Red Maple Hunters, asked in surprise. Although the pet beside the young man in front of him looked very weak, this person did not panic at all. His expression was stable and he was definitely not an ordinary person. As the captain of a hunter team, he still had this bit of judgment. As for the Cute Sparrow beside him¡­ It was obvious that if he only had this Cute Sparrow by his side, it would be impossible for him to reach this place. Unless the Black Wood Demons along the way were all blind. With a few thoughts running through his mind, Ren Hongchang quickly made a decision and said. ¡°Please.¡± It was better to give it a try. One more person was better than nothing. Ye Fan nodded. ¡°Get your pets out of the battlefield.¡± Once he said that, the crowd was stunned again. What did he mean? Was he going to fight one-on-one? ¡°Well¡­¡± Ren Hongchang hesitated. It was not his fault for hesitating. Although the young man in front of him looked extraordinary, he was still young. No matter how powerful he was, he was only at the peak of Rank 2 at best. Even if he was a genius who had reached Rank 3, it was impossible for him to defeat the Blood Greedy Dark Demon alone. A Rank 4 Beast Tamer might be needed. ¡°Maybe he¡¯s a descendant of a big family who hasn¡¯t experienced much battle.¡± This thought could not help but appear in everyone¡¯s minds. Chapter 56 - 56 Shock! 56 Shock! ¡°Friend, this Blood Greedy Dark Demon is at the peak of Rank 3, but its actual combat strength is almost comparable to Rank 4. It¡¯s very difficult to deal with it alone. Let¡¯s deal with it together.¡± ¡°I know the situation.¡± Ye Fan looked at the hunters and immediately understood what they were thinking. He explained to them. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. In fact, I¡¯m here because of him. I accepted a mission to kill the Blood Greedy Dark Demon at the Adventurer¡¯s Association.¡± Only then did everyone come to a realization. However, they were deeply speechless. Was he a newborn calf that wasn¡¯t afraid of tigers? Or was he stupid? He actually dared to accept a mission of this level alone. Just by looking at them, they knew that if they wanted to accept such a mission, they had to be at least a second-tier hunter team. A Rank-3 Beast Tamer actually dared to come alone to hunt the Blood Greedy Dark Demon? Did he think that the Blood Greedy Dark Demon was only an ordinary peak Rank 3? Ren Hongchang was still organizing his words to persuade Ye Fan. Ye Fan shook his head and didn¡¯t say anything else. He directly summoned the Scorching Fire. Fire could dispel all monsters. It was most effective to let the Scorching Fire deal with it. At the same time, Ye Fan summoned the interface and looked at the talents and skills waiting to be unlocked by the Scorching Fire. Talents to be unlocked Flame Scorch: Increases itself by absorbing fire elements to recover the injuries, including but not limited to any fire element attacks, ordinary high-temperature environments, and so on. Unlocking requires 100 evolution points. Burning Domain: Uses flames to create a domain of hundreds of meters. Targets in this domain will suffer damage. Unlocking requires 100 evolution points. Fire Assault: Huge pillars of fire will directly attack the target, causing serious fire damage and impact damage. Ye Fan had 411 evolution points. After thinking for a while, he decided to first unlock the Burning Domain and Fire Assault. After all, these two skills could immediately increase the combat power of the Scorching Fire. On the other side, seeing the pet beast suddenly appear beside Ye Fan, Ren Hongchang¡¯s eyes instantly widened, and he couldn¡¯t help but cry out. ¡°Scorching Fire!¡± The members of the hunter team recognized this extremely rare and powerful pet and were shocked. This was a legendary powerful pet that could evolve to the ninth rank. Such a pet was ranked at the top of its peers and its combat strength was very powerful. No wonder this person dared to enter the Endless Forest alone. It turned out that he had such a powerful pet by his side. ¡°Who exactly is he?¡± Ren Hongchang could not help but mutter to himself. While everyone was shocked, Ye Fan had already taken the initiative to attack the Blood Greedy Dark Demon. Scorching Fire¡¯s face revealed a strange smile. The ground under the Blood Greedy Dark Demon, who was feeling smug, suddenly stirred up a large amount of hot flames. In the next moment, the surging flames soared into the sky and scattered, drowning the Blood Greedy Dark Demon¡¯s figure. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon was quickly knocked back a few meters by the sudden attack. Fire Assault! The temperature in the air quickly rose. The sudden commotion made Ren Hongchang and the others subconsciously take a few steps back. However, they were not in a hurry to cover themselves. Instead, they widened their eyes and stared at everything that was happening in front of them. The flames soared into the sky, forming a pillar of fire in the sky. Even though they were more than 30 meters away, they could still feel the soaring heat wave and the oppressive aura. ¡°What kind of skill is this?¡± Ren Hongchang looked confused. From what he knew, Scorching Fire did not seem to have such a skill. ¡°It seems to be the Fire Assault,¡± someone said softly. His words caused a thousand ripples. Once these words were spoken, everyone was incomparably shocked. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a skill that only Rank 5 fire-type pets can master?¡± Rank 5? Hearing this, everyone could not help but tremble. No wonder the power of this pillar of fire was so terrifying. It was actually a high-level fire attribute skill. However, this Scorching Fire was too shocking. It was clearly only at Rank 3, so how could it learn a Rank 5 skill? Just as they were shocked, Ye Fan¡¯s calm voice rang out again. ¡°Put away all your pets.¡± Ren Hongchang looked at Ye Fan, then at the shocking pillar of fire. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand. ¡°Call them all back.¡± Everyone looked at each other and finally did as they were told. They still did not believe that the young man in front of them could kill the Blood Greedy Dark Demon alone. However, their pets were already covered in wounds and it was very difficult for them to continue fighting. In the end, they watched and waited at the side. When the young man could not hold on anymore, they would attack. As the pets retreated from the center of the open space, only the Scorching Fire was left. The flames gradually dissipated at this moment, revealing the Blood Greedy Dark Demon¡¯s charred body. Its skin was emitting black smoke. Clearly, its injuries were not light this time. ¡°As expected, my guess was right. Elemental attacks are the most effective against it!¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. Chapter 57 - 57 The Second One! 57 The Second One! Roar! A deafening roar suddenly sounded. This voice was mixed with hatred. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon, whose ferocity had been aroused, squirmed and pounced desperately at the Scorching Fire. Its ugly appearance and the ferocious aura around it made one shiver. The Scorching Fire was calm and did not show any panic. The flames on its body suddenly increased by a few times. In the next second, the flames on its body endlessly headed in the direction of the Blood Greedy Dark Demon, forming a huge domain. The air was engulfed in heat waves. The scorching waves of fire surrounded the entire Blood Greedy Dark Demon, and flames soared into the sky. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon let out a low roar of pain in the flames. It kept struggling, but the fire grew stronger. Fire was everywhere whether it ran to the left or the right. Fire surrounded it in all directions. The flames soared into the sky, and there was almost no place that wasn¡¯t fire. Not far away, the hunters who were watching the sea of fire revealed shocked expressions again. ¡°This is too unbelievable. How can he have such terrifying strength?!¡± ¡°That seems to be the Burning Domain!¡± ¡°Ah, another skill of the fifth rank?¡± ¡°How did he nurture it? A third-rank pet actually knows so many skills that only fifth-rank pets can have?¡± ¡°Is it really only Rank 3?¡± Exclamations kept coming out of everyone¡¯s mouths. The scene in front of them was too shocking. No wonder he could tell them to remove their pets. It was obvious that he had the ability. For people with mediocre strength like them, if they continued to keep their pets on the battlefield, they would only cause trouble for him. The pets might even become supplements for the Blood Greedy Dark Demon to recover from its injuries. Of course, the other party did not want to take care of so many burdens. ¡°What¡¯s the background of such a young and powerful Beast Tamer?¡± Such a thought appeared in everyone¡¯s minds. Now, they couldn¡¯t help but look at Ye Fan with reverence. In the world of Beast Tamers, the strong were respected. It had nothing to do with anything else. As long as one was strong enough, one could win everyone¡¯s respect, and this young man in front of them was strong enough. Gradually, the flames disappeared and dust rose. The scene in the open space appeared again. The originally flat ground had already disappeared, replaced by a very huge black pit. The black pit was filled with charred burn marks. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon was currently in the middle of the pit. Its body had already shrunk to half its original size. Its entire body was swaying. Clearly, it was at the end of its rope. Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction. He had expected this. Although his pet was only at the third rank, with the enhancement of many talents and skills, its actual combat strength had already reached the fourth rank. The Scorching Fire was even more so. In addition, its innate fire attribute could restrain dark-type Magical Beasts. It would not take him much effort to deal with such a Magical Beast. ¡°Get rid of it,¡± Ye Fan said to the Scorching Fire. The Scorching Fire moved and was about to attack again when a muffled roar came from the forest beside it. This commotion interrupted its next action. Everyone in the hunter team was stunned and looked over. A pale middle-aged man in a black cloak slowly walked out of the forest. Behind him was an extremely huge mountain of flesh. Everyone exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s actually a Blood Greedy Dark Demon?¡± A second Blood Greedy Dark Demon?! Clap, clap, clap! The middle-aged man had a strange smile on his face and kept clapping his hands. ¡°You can actually beat my pet to this state. Looks like I underestimated you.¡± His voice was hoarse, and his words were as rough and unpleasant as a stone grinding sandpaper. As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Red Maple Hunters instantly changed. Ren Hongchang¡¯s eyes instantly shot out a terrifying light as he exclaimed. ¡°The Fallen.¡± In an instant, the scene fell silent, and the air became very heavy. Ye Fan involuntarily raised his eyebrows. The Fallen was a taboo word in the circle of Beast Tamers. The Fallen referred to those who contracted dark-type pets. In order to obtain powerful strength, these people did not hesitate to contract dark-type pets. Most of the Beast Tamers who had contracted these pets had become twisted and strange. These people were hated by everyone in society. As long as they appeared in front of people, they would be attacked by the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the military. They were the villains in the hearts of all the righteous Beast Tamers. At the same time, the Fallen made many people afraid. Their strength increased very quickly, even surpassing most geniuses. Therefore, the Fallen were often very powerful. Obviously, the middle-aged man in front of them was not weak. Chapter 58 - 58 The Hunter Fox Joins the Battlefield 58 The Hunter Fox Joins the Battlefield Just by looking at the Blood Greedy Dark Demon beside him, one could tell. This creature was several times larger than the Blood Greedy Dark Demon they had dealt with previously. It was clearly a Dark Demon Beast that had surpassed Rank-4. Ren Hongchang and the others had ugly expressions, their eyes filled with shock. They were already unable to deal with a peak Rank-3 Blood Greedy Dark Demon, but now, a Rank-4 one had appeared. For a time, everyone¡¯s hearts felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on them. Among them, only Ye Fan¡¯s expression had been calm from beginning to end. ¡°How sad. You actually injured my Blood Greed Demon to such a miserable state.¡± The middle-aged man spoke to himself. His sinister gaze was like a poisonous snake as it shot at everyone present. There was madness and violence hidden in his eyes. ¡°Since it has already suffered such serious injuries, I¡¯m afraid it will have to devour a large amount of flesh to recover.¡± ¡°Sigh, what should we do? I¡¯m very troubled!¡± By the time he finished the last word, the middle-aged man¡¯s tone was already bone-chilling, revealing an undisguised murderous aura. Everyone in the Red Maple Hunters subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at him in fear, unable to say a word. Seeing them like this, the middle-aged man¡¯s lips curled up, and his face revealed disdain. But at this time, a calm voice suddenly sounded. ¡°What should we do? It¡¯s very simple.¡± Everyone looked over and saw Ye Fan. With a gesture, the Scorching Fire beside him opened its mouth and spat out an even larger fireball that smashed towards the Blood Greedy Dark Demon in the pit like a meteor hammer. The fireball quickly exploded. With a bang, the scorching fire wave erupted again, instantly killing the Blood Greedy Dark Demon. When the flames and dust dissipated, there was no sign of the Blood Greedy Dark Demon in the deep pit, only a tuft of charcoal. Ye Fan spread his hands and looked at the middle-aged man. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to worry about that now.¡± Everyone in the Red Maple Hunter Team was speechless. For a moment, everybody was dead silent. Then, suppressed low laughter suddenly sounded from the middle-aged man. He abandoned his pretentious appearance and stared at Ye Fan with a twisted, venomous snake-like gaze, his eyes filled with bone-chilling killing intent. ¡°Good, very good.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so bold as to provoke me under such circumstances.¡± ¡°In return, I¡¯ll let the Blood Greedy Dark Demon devour your flesh bit by bit later. Bit by bit¡­ I¡¯ll make you wish you were dead!¡± His extremely cold tone made Ren Hongchang and the others break out in cold sweat. Ye Fan just shrugged indifferently. ¡°If you can.¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± The middle-aged man couldn¡¯t take it anymore. A ferocious glint appeared in his eyes. Its master¡¯s anger made the Blood Greedy Dark Demon beside it very irritable. It brazenly pounced forward, charging at Ye Fan like a cannon carriage. ¡°Mission issued, Purify Evils: Kill the Fallen Ye Wanhua. Complete the mission and you will receive 300 evolution points.¡± Tsk tsk, 300 evolution points! It seemed that this Fallen was quite valuable. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed, and when he raised his head to look at Ye Wanhua, he felt that there was a pile of gold constantly moving in front of him. There was no need for Ye Fan to give the order. The Scorching Fire had already fearlessly charged forward. Halfway through, the flames on its body intensified, and it used the Fire Assault again. As for the Blood Greedy Dark Demon, it wriggled and rushed towards him. Countless pieces of flesh protruded, condensing into an unpleasant-smelling meat shield to block the fire. In a few breaths, the two sides were like meteors. They collided with a huge sound, and the soaring shock wave instantly exploded. Ren Hongchang and the others retreated and dodged the shock wave in a sorry state. Their expressions were filled with panic and helplessness. ¡°What should we do, Captain?¡± ¡°Why would we encounter a Fallen at a time like this? We¡¯re so unlucky.¡± ¡°Ah, can he beat him?¡± ¡°How is that possible? That Fallen is at least at the fourth rank. It¡¯s impossible for a Rank-3 Beast Tamer to defeat it.¡± ¡°What should we do? Captain, are we going to escape now?¡± The last sentence made everyone wonder the same. However, Ren Hongchang directly rejected their suggestion. Although this Fallen only seemed to be fighting Ye Fan, he was definitely paying attention to their movements at all times. If they showed any signs of escaping now, they would most likely be killed. Besides, the young man had saved the Red Maple Hunters. How could they abandon him and escape at this moment? The adventures were basically living on the edge of a knife, so they definitely could not abandon their companions. Loyalty and kindness were valued extremely. However, Ren Hongchang looked at the intense battle in the distance and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Both sides were countless times stronger than him. He could not help at all. Chapter 59 - 59 Fight 59 Fight If he rashly went to help, he might not be able to help at all. Instead, he would be a hindrance. Therefore, he could only watch from the side. ¡°Right now, we can only hope that he can defeat the Blood Greedy Dark Demon and the Fallen.¡± No one had thought that Ye Fan would be able to defeat the Fallen. They knew how difficult it was to defeat a Rank-4 Fallen. Although Ye Fan had already displayed his powerful strength, it was still very difficult for him to do this. A loud sound exploded, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. The second Blood Greedy Dark Demon was much stronger than the first. Its actual strength was almost at the intermediate level of Rank 4. After a while, the Scorching Fire was suppressed. Seeing this situation, Ren Hongchang and the others could not help but reveal pessimistic expressions. Just at this moment, a light flashed beside Ye Fan, and a petite and cute figure appeared. With a whoosh, it appeared in the sky. Hehe! The Hunter Fox joined the battlefield. The blue light floated in the air and spun around in the air. It quickly rushed towards the Blood Greedy Dark Demon and exploded with a bang, leaving hundreds of wounds on its body. There were many blue flames burning at the edge of the wounds. The Blood Greedy Darkness Demon let out a painful roar. It condensed a tentacle and whipped it in the direction of the Hunter Fox. Just as it was about to be hit, the Hunter Fox quickly flashed and disappeared, jumping on the spot. The tentacle missed and splashed a large amount of black dust on the ground. The Hunter Fox flashed to the side of the tentacle again. It directly showed its sharp claws and swung them out. The gray tentacle was directly torn apart. As a Rank 3 Hunter Fox, the Hunter Fox was already at the peak of Rank 3. Its talent skills were higher and stronger than the Scorching Fire¡¯s. Not to mention a low-level Rank 4, even if it faced an intermediate Rank 4 enemy, the Hunter Fox was not afraid at all. As the Hunter Fox joined the battlefield, the situation gradually reversed. The Blood Greedy Dark Demon was at a disadvantage. The Hunter Fox and the Scorching Fire Beast joined forces. At this moment, the Blood Greedy Dark Demon¡¯s entire body flickered with lightning and flames soared into the sky. It was in a sorry state. Not far away, everyone in the hunter team was shocked again. They stared at the battle in the open space in disbelief. They had never imagined that Ye Fan actually had such a powerful pet beast. Even the knowledgeable people, like Ren Hongchang, were the same. When he saw the figure of the Hunter Fox, his mouth widened in shock. ¡°Ah, am I seeing things? Captain, am I seeing things?¡± A team member could not help but mutter to himself in shock. Ren Hongchang seemed to know what he was going to say and immediately replied, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be wrong. We can¡¯t have hallucinations at the same time.¡± The team member took a deep breath. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s really a Hunter Fox.¡± Seeing Ren Hongchang¡¯s shocked expression, the other team members couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Ah, is that pet very rare?¡± Ren Hongchang was silent for a moment before slowly saying, ¡°It¡¯s not just rare. It¡¯s simply extremely rare!¡± ¡°The number of times a Hunter Fox has appeared so far can be counted on one hand. However, I can confirm that it definitely has the potential to evolve to the peak of Rank 9.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again. Really? Why was it so powerful? Why was it another pet with the potential of the ninth rank? ¡°Scorching Fire and Hunter Fox. Could it be that this person is a disciple of an ancient family?¡± Many people agreed. Even Ren Hongchang could not help but nod. Every pet with the potential to evolve to the ninth rank was so precious. Even the children of Beast Tamer families found it very difficult to obtain such a pet. However, the young man in front of him actually had two. No matter how he thought about it, the man could only be from those ancient Beast Tamer families that had been passed down from the Catastrophe to the present. Only the geniuses of the world had such powerful capital. For a time, Ye Fan¡¯s image in their hearts became lofty and mysterious. Ren Hongchang¡¯s gaze towards him became even more reverent. Ye Wanhua naturally thought of what the Red Maple Hunters could think of. Could it be someone from an ancient Beast Tamer Family? Ye Wanhua was shocked. At the same time, his face became even more distorted. He was so jealous that he was about to go crazy! Why? Why was he so lucky?! Ye Wanhua¡¯s talent had been very ordinary since he was young. Otherwise, he would not have embarked on the path of a Fallen in pursuit of strength. It was precisely because of this that he was very jealous of those geniuses. He was so jealous that he could not help but want to step on them and swallow their blood and flesh! Now that he knew Ye Fan¡¯s identity, he hated him even more! I must make this kid beg for death. I definitely can¡¯t let him die easily! Chapter 60 - 60 Kill 60 Kill Ye Wanhua licked his dry lips, the cold light in his eyes almost materializing. Seeing his gaze, Ye Fan mockingly smiled. As expected of a Fallen. There was clearly something wrong with his brain. He was no different from a lunatic. Seemingly sensing the ridicule in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes, Ye Wanhua¡¯s expression became even gloomier. He looked at the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox working together to suppress the Blood Greedy Dark Demon that was about to be defeated. His eyes flickered with evil light as he immediately made a decision. As he muttered, an ugly and strange figure appeared beside Ye Wanhua. It was a sticky piece of flesh on the upper half of its body. There were countless dense eyeballs on it. And the lower half was formed by countless tentacles on both sides. It was even more terrifying. Swagger was a low-level Rank-4 Dark-type Magical Beast. Identifying dark-element Magical Beasts was one of the theoretical courses that the students had to take. Ye Fan naturally knew what the monster in front of him was. Ren Hongchang also recognized this very strange and terrifying Magical Beast at the first moment, and his face revealed a despairing expression. It was another Rank-4 Dark Demon Beast! At this moment, the light in the eyes of the Red Maple Hunters disappeared again! Originally, they had hoped that Ye Wanhua would only have one fourth-rank pet. As long as they defeated the pet, they would be saved! This way, everyone had hope of survival! However, they didn¡¯t expect that this Fallen didn¡¯t just have a fourth-rank pet! At this moment, the young man¡¯s two pets had already been held back by the Blood Greedy Dark Demon, leaving only a Cute Sparrow beside him. Under such circumstances, how could they deal with Swagger? Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s faces gradually turned pale. The situation in front of them was hopeless. Compared to the shock of the Red Maple Hunters, Ye Fan was very calm. He was only surprised for a moment before calmly summoning the system interface. Currently, among Ye Fan¡¯s three pets, the one with the highest growth was the Scorching Fire, followed by the Golden Sparrow, which had a growth rate of 74%, while the Hunter Fox only had a growth rate of 20%. However, the evolution materials for the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox were not gathered yet. On the other hand, the evolution materials needed by the Golden Sparrow had been gathered. He glanced at the evolution points. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate at all, directly pouring evolution points into the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth. As the Golden Sparrow advanced to Rank 3, every 1% increase in growth required four evolution points. After consuming 101 evolution points, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth instantly soared to 100%. At the same time, the interface information also changed greatly. Cute Sparrow Wind Intermediate Rank 4 : Wings, Gale, Claw Power, Feather Shield : Mid-Level Wind Blade, Wind Phantom, Singing, Wind Shield, Vitality Peck Just as planned, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s level directly jumped by three small realms and suddenly broke through to the intermediate level of Rank 4. Intermediate Rank-4. Coupled with its talent and skills, it was probably invincible among his peers. Joy flashed across Ye Fan¡¯s eyes as he came back to his senses. His gaze became even deeper as he looked at Ye Wanhua and the Swagger next to him. Facing Ye Fan¡¯s gaze, Ye Wanhua didn¡¯t know why, but he felt very uneasy. However, he suppressed it again. It was only a Rank-3 Beast Tamer with some talent. No matter how powerful he is, can he defeat my two Rank 4 pet beasts? Ye Wanhua thought to himself. He didn¡¯t waste any more time and sinisterly issued an order in Ye Fan¡¯s direction. ¡°Golden Sparrow, I¡¯ll leave this disgusting thing to you.¡± The Golden Sparrow nodded in response. Then it took a step forward in front of Ye Fan, facing the charging Swagger. This scene stunned everyone. Ren Hongchang and the others could not help but feel ridiculous. He actually sent a Cute Sparrow to fight a fourth-rank pet. What was going on in his mind? To be able to make such a decision, had he already given up? Thinking of this, the members of the hunter team began to despair. Seeing this, Ye Wanhua laughed. ¡°Hahaha, this is too ridiculous¡­¡± Before he could finish, an ear-piercing explosion interrupted him. Under everyone¡¯s stunned gazes, the Golden Sparrow raised its wings and flapped them. The wind that was like a sharp sword turned into a cold wind blade that tore through the air. Wherever the wind blade passed, the tentacles broke. The intense pain made the Swagger open his mouth and howl loudly. As soon as he let out the howl, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s claws had already pierced through the center of his body. The Golden Sparrow flew back to its original spot. The Swagger¡¯s body froze in midair. A few seconds later, several red lines appeared on its body, and they quickly expanded. In the end, its entire body was cut into several pieces and fell to the ground with blood. An instant kill! Silence! In the dead silence, Ye Wanhua¡¯s smile froze. Chapter 61 - 61 Dead End 61 Dead End How was this possible! Ye Wanhua was shocked. Ren Hongchang and the others were also very surprised. They felt that they had seen wrongly. It was as if they were in a dream and could not recover. One claw attack! It was just one claw attack! A fourth-rank pet died just like that! Instant kill! And the one who did all this was a Cute Sparrow. If it hadn¡¯t really happened in front of them, none of them would have believed it. There was actually such a surreal thing in this world! This was simply too ridiculous! After a long time, someone stammered. ¡°Is this really a Cute Sparrow?¡± ¡°One claw attack, it only used one claw attack to insta-kill the monster!¡± ¡°The Swagger is so strong! But it actually insta-killed it!¡± ¡°What kind of pet beast is this?¡± At this moment, no one would naively think that the pet in front of them was a Cute Sparrow. Even if an ordinary Cute Sparrow evolved more than a thousand times, it was impossible for it to instantly kill a fourth-rank pet. Clearly, the Cute Sparrow in front of them was most likely a very rare pet like the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox. Originally, they only thought that it was a pet for decoration. Unexpectedly, it was the strongest of the three pets. This simply shocked everyone. This Cute Sparrow had definitely reached the fourth rank. In other words, the young man in front of them was not just a Rank-3 Beast Tamer as they had guessed. Instead, he was a true Rank 4 Beast Tamer. He looked to be only 20 years old, but he had such monstrous strength and talent. ¡°Oh my god, he¡¯s too awesome!¡± Some people could not help but gulp and exclaim. His words echoed the thoughts of everyone present. Now, their gazes towards Ye Fan weren¡¯t just filled with reverence. This was simply a monster! Genius! He was too talented! ¡°Impossible, absolutely impossible!¡± Ye Wanhua looked at the pieces of the Swagger and muttered to himself. His dignified fourth-rank pet, which was a dark-element beast with outstanding combat strength among its peers, was instantly killed by a single claw! Even now, Ye Wanhua could not believe this fact. Suddenly, an intense roar sounded, and Ye Wanhua snapped out of his shock. He quickly turned around and saw that the Blood Greedy Dark Demon had already been burned to ashes. Ye Wanhua¡¯s face was already as pale as a ghost. At this moment, it was difficult to even see the color of blood. His lips began to tremble uncontrollably. ¡°You¡¯re the only one left.¡± Ye Fan calmly looked at Ye Wanhua. This Fallen was a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. Logically speaking, he should have another pet. However, from the looks of it, the last pet was at most at the third rank. There was nothing to be afraid of. Sure enough, seeing Ye Fan look in his direction, Ye Wanhua shivered. He quickly summoned the last pet. With a flash of light, a black Ghost Hound appeared. Peak Rank-3 Dark-type Demon Beast. The Ghost Hound had just come out and had yet to make any combat posture. A claw tore through the air and attacked. The Golden Sparrow grabbed at the Ghost Hound¡¯s head. The Ghost Hound was torn into two pieces and its head was ruthlessly thrown in front of Ye Wanhua. Seeing this scene, Ye Wanhua¡¯s face revealed shock and despair. The fear of death instantly swept through his heart. The shock on his face grew. Ye Wanhua opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the Golden Sparrow planned to destroy it in the same way. Suddenly, green light burst out. The light unique to Soul Protection fluctuated in the air before slowly dimming. The Golden Sparrow was forced to stop three centimeters away from Ye Wanhua¡¯s skin. Ye Wanhua was also shocked by the sudden attack. Before he could react, the second claw attacked him. This time, the Soul Protection only stopped him for an instant before it quickly broke. Its sharp claws directly broke through the shield and pierced through Ye Wanhua¡¯s neck. Blood gushed out. Ye Wanhua was stunned. His eyes were wide open, filled with despair and unwillingness. His eyes slowly dissipated, and his entire body slowly fell. The empty space was silent for a moment. Ren Hongchang looked at Ye Wanhua¡¯s corpse and felt like they were dreaming. They couldn¡¯t come back to their senses for a long time. Had such a powerful Fallen been dealt with just like that? A moment ago, they were in despair because the enemy was so powerful. In the blink of an eye, the enemy was cleanly dealt with by Ye Fan. It had only been a while, but their moods had changed several times. Their minds seemed to be on a roller coaster. Only now did they truly relax. Their respect for Ye Fan increased. He could even fight a Rank 4 Fallen so easily. At such a young age, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. Adventurers like them, who had been risking their lives for treasures, could only look up to a genius like him. Ye Fan didn¡¯t care about the Red Maple Hunters¡¯ expressions. He was only focused on checking his mission notifications. ¡°Mission completed, Purify Evils. You¡¯ve obtained 400 evolution points.¡± Chapter 62 - 62 Ambush 62 Ambush After obtaining 400 evolution points, Ye Fan immediately became rich. He nodded in satisfaction and opened the Golden Sparrow¡¯s interface to check the new skills and talents after evolution. Talents To Be Unlocked Racing Light: Rapidly increases the reaction speed. Long-range attacks and sneak attacks can be extremely effective. Unlocking requires 100 evolution points. Skills To Be Unlocked Feather Sword: A sword transformed from feathers. When fired, it causes damage. It can be fired in large numbers at the same time. Unlocking requires 150 evolution points. Ye Fan thought to himself. He first strengthened the Golden Sparrow before increasing its power. Now, there was a talent that strengthened reactions. This was to nurture the Golden Sparrow in an all-rounded direction without any weaknesses. If he unlocked the Basic Negative Effects Resistance, in the future, when the Golden Sparrow advanced to the intermediate or even the advanced level, he would be so powerful that no one would be his match. Thinking of this, Ye Fan was extremely happy. Without any hesitation, he directly advanced the Racing Light and Feather Sword. This way, the number of skills and talents of the Golden Sparrow directly reached an astonishing 12. If others knew that a fourth-rank pet had already obtained 12 skills and talents, they would be shocked. Then, Ye Fan used another 100 evolution points to unlock the Heat Absorption skill for the Scorching Fire. The 400 evolution points he had just obtained were almost used up. Including the remaining evolution points from before, he only had a total of 87 evolution points left. Although the consumption was huge, the increase in strength was obvious. Closing the interface, Ye Fan looked into the distance, planning to call the Golden Sparrow over. At this moment, he saw a dark flash of light from the corner of his eye. Ye Fan walked close to Ye Wanhua¡¯s corpse and saw a gray box that was about the size of a palm. But this wasn¡¯t a problem for Ye Fan. He directly handed the box to the Golden Sparrow, who unhesitatingly pecked it with its beak. Crack! The box was opened. There was a golden velvet and an exquisite card inside. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Ye Fan curiously sized up the box, but after taking a look, he closed it. After all, he wasn¡¯t alone now. It wasn¡¯t a good place to check the spoils of war. It was better to wait until he went back and studied them carefully. After putting away the box, Ye Fan thought about it and endured the nausea. He searched Ye Wanhua¡¯s body. The Fallen definitely had a lot of good things on him. Perhaps he could find something. Soon, he found something. Ye Fan looked at the Green Divine Wood in his hand excitedly. ¡°That was really easy.¡± This Fallen actually had the Green Divine Wood he had always wanted. Ye Fan was very excited. ¡°That¡¯s great. Now that I¡¯ve gathered the main ingredients for the evolution of the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox, I¡¯m only missing the elemental crystals.¡± Low-level Fire Crystals and low-level Illusion Crystals could be bought in shops. This was not a big problem. However, the Illusion Crystals were slightly more expensive. He had already obtained the 50,000 reward from the bounty mission. It was not difficult to buy it. He smiled and turned to look at the Red Maple Hunters. Ren Hongchang¡¯s heart froze. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ye Fan directly turn around and leave with the three pet beasts. Seeing Ye Fan walk away, Ren Hongchang and the others slowly reacted. They looked at each other without saying a word. What they had experienced today was too strange. After returning home, Ye Fan directly took out the card and carefully examined it. On the front of the card was a tall pagoda with seven floors. From top to bottom, they were red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple. On the back of the card was a very beautiful egret, carved vividly. Ye Fan thought for a moment, but he couldn¡¯t find anything related to the egret in his mind. He looked at the note pressed under the golden velvet. He picked it up and read the words. ¡°Number, lost key.¡± ¡°The certificate you need to enter the Lost Mystic Realm.¡± ¡°Starting on the 10th of this month.¡± ¡°Put it in the moonlight.¡± There was no name below, only a very strange pattern. The content of the note was very concise, but he understood everything. If he wanted to enter a certain lost mystic realm, this card was the ticket. Ye Fan was a bit excited. The last time he had visited a mystic realm, although it had been extremely dangerous, the gains he had obtained had been enormous. The potential of the Scorching Fire directly broke through Level 9 and reached the King level. Moreover, the Hunter Fox was also obtained in the mystic realm. If he took another trip to a Lost Mystic Realm, he might be able to obtain even more benefits. And wasn¡¯t the 10th of this month tomorrow? The moonlight probably meant night. Ye Fan quickly had an idea. It was rare for him to have such an opportunity. He would definitely not give up. Chapter 63 - 63 Lost Mystic Realm 63 Lost Mystic Realm Returning to his senses, Ye Fan looked at the strange pattern. On the pattern was a pale hand, its joints extending upwards, its base covered in endless darkness. Hand of the Abyss! Ye Fan¡¯s gaze slightly froze. As a Beast Tamer, he naturally recognized this infamous pattern. If the Fallen were disgusting and terrifying existences, this Hand of the Abyss was even more disgusting than the former! However, it was an even more powerful existence. The Hand of the Abyss was an evil sect established by the Fallen. No one knew when this sect was founded. It was said that there had been traces of them since the catastrophe of the world. Ever since it was established, the Hand of the Abyss had been wandering outside mainstream society, hiding in a dark corner. They created all kinds of incomprehensible terrorist activities, and the members who had been polluted by the evil magical beasts were all twisted in their minds. They had no rationality to speak of. They carried out terrorist activities solely to amplify the unknown evil and darkness in their hearts. They regarded other people¡¯s pain as their source of happiness. Therefore, the Hand of the Abyss was the common enemy of the military, the major financial groups, and the various adventure associations. However, they were too powerful. Coupled with the fact that their whereabouts were very secretive, they could not be eliminated at all. It would not be long before they were reborn! This matter was very hateful! However, there was nothing they could do! Ye Fan hadn¡¯t expected that the Fallen he had casually killed would actually be a disciple of the Hand of the Abyss. He had even accidentally snatched the key to the mystic realm. Anything that involved a mystic realm could be said to be priceless. Presumably, this key had a very important origin. If the internal members of the Hand of the Abyss knew about this, they would definitely not let him off. Although that was the case, there was no way Ye Fan would return the item. With the evolution system, Ye Fan wasn¡¯t afraid of any so-called evil generals. The other party could not imagine the speed at which his strength increased. If they really sent people to surround him, he might be able to complete a few missions like Purify Evils. Thinking of this mission, Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but smile. This mission reward was really sumptuous. ¡°Let¡¯s rest and recuperate first. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll take a good look at this Lost Mystic Realm!¡± After Ye Fan made his decision, he was just about to eat something to fill his stomach when his phone vibrated. He got up and took it out. A group of people was calling him. The chat group was the Rose Society battle group. Ever since the club battle, Xiao Qiuya had dragged him in. Only Ye Fan, Xiao Qiuya, and the other two girls were inside. Xiao Qiuya: ¡°Junior, are you there? Let¡¯s go out for dinner.¡± Before Ye Fan could answer, there was already other information below. Chen Xin: ¡°I want to go too!¡± Xu Menghan: ¡°¡­¡± Su Wan¡¯er: ¡°¡­¡± Ye Fan looked at their messages and felt a headache coming on. But thinking about how there were some things he wanted to learn from them, he agreed. Half an hour later. Ye Fan appeared at the entrance of a restaurant. Walking into the clean and bright hall, he heard a pleasant voice. ¡°Ah Fan, over here, over here.¡± Xiao Qiuya waved at him happily. Chen Xin, who was beside him, was also smiling. Ever since the last club battle, Xiao Qiuya had called him Ah Fan. This made their relationship even closer. Chen Xin naturally wasn¡¯t willing to fall behind and also called him that. Ye Fan didn¡¯t care about how he was addressed, so he let the two of them. At a table, the two young and beautiful girls attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Under the envious gazes of many men nearby, Ye Fan directly walked over to the two beauties. Just as he sat down, the waiter walked over with a plate. After they ordered food, the waiter left. Only then did Ye Fan ask them, ¡°Why did you ask me out?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I ask you out for no reason?¡± Xiao Qiuya asked with a smile. ¡°However, I do have something to tell you. Have you seen the academy¡¯s recent announcement?¡± Ye Fan was startled. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I knew you weren¡¯t paying attention. You must have run out of the city again recently.¡± Xiao Qiuya took a sip of water and continued, ¡°The date of the Inter-academy Tournament has been brought forward.¡± Ye Fan was startled. He knew about the Inter-academy Tournament. The Inter-academy Tournament was held at the end of every year. It was a grand event, second only to the Capital Tournament that was held every three years. However, according to past practice, the Inter-academy Tournament was clearly held at the end of the school year. This was only the first semester. Why was it so early? It was as if they had seen Ye Fan¡¯s confusion. Chen Xin explained, ¡°I heard from my family that it is supposed to be held a long time in the future, but the fourth-year seniors don¡¯t have the time. Considering their time, the school arranged it in advance.¡± Chapter 64 - 64 Inter-academy Tournament 64 Inter-academy Tournament Ye Fan thoughtfully nodded. He looked at the two of them and asked, ¡°Do you plan on registering for the tournament?¡± There was no registration restriction in the Inter-academy Tournament. Students of every grade could participate. However, most of the applicants were third or fourth-year students. After all, the students of these two grades were the main force of the academy. In comparison, the first and second grades were much weaker. Even if they participated in the competition, they would most likely be useless. Most people did not want to be green leaves on the field. Xiao Qiuya naturally knew what Ye Fan meant. She smiled. ¡°Of course, even if I can¡¯t get a ranking, it¡¯s good to learn some lessons.¡± Chen Xin nodded. She clearly had the same thought. ¡°What about you, Ah Fan? Do you want to sign up too?¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t think too much and directly nodded. It was not that he wanted to learn anything. He just felt that according to the system, there would definitely be missions like fighting for rankings in such a competition. This was a good opportunity to earn evolution points. Naturally, he would not give up. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together.¡± Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin smiled happily. ¡°By the way, do you know this?¡± Ye Fan handed a piece of paper to the two girls. On it was the seven-story pagoda he had drawn, as well as the egret. Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin stared at the paper for a long time and shook their heads. Ye Fan didn¡¯t expect them to know, so he wasn¡¯t disappointed. He only asked, ¡°Do you know where there¡¯s a thousand-year-old Bone Essence?¡± Thousand-year-old Bone Essence was the main material for evolution. Like Abyssal Blood and Green Divine Wood, it was a Rank-5 material that was rarely seen on the market. Ye Fan searched a lot on the Internet, but he didn¡¯t find anything useful. He could only ask Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya. The two of them had lived in Beast Tamer families since they were young, so they might know more. Xiao Qiuya shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it, but I can go home and ask.¡± Chen Xin was the same. She said, ¡°Me neither.¡± Ye Fan nodded. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry. The Golden Sparrow still needed some time to evolve to 100%. When the sky gradually darkened in the evening, Ye Fan sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for night to fall. When the bright moonlight passed through the balcony, he slowly opened his eyes. He took out the mysterious card and approached the balcony. He placed the card under the moonlight. The hazy pale moonlight shone on the tower on the front of the card. The moonlight flowed into the card like water and gradually lit up. After a while, the card was filled with the silver moonlight and gradually turned into a fist-sized ball of light. Under Ye Fan¡¯s slightly surprised gaze, the ball of light slowly floated up, expanding at an astonishing speed. It immediately enveloped Ye Fan. Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, not dodging. When the light completely enveloped him, his vision was quickly occupied by the light spot. After an unknown period of time, the light spots slowly dissipated, and his vision became clear. Ye Fan raised his head and found that he wasn¡¯t in the living room. What he saw was a very wide corridor. Looking over, rows of black stone pillars stood in the endless darkness. The light from above blurred the surroundings. All he could see was the red carpet extending forward. The black and white marble emitted a cold light. The entire environment exuded an ancient texture. ¡°Welcome to the Seven Demons Tower.¡± A pleasant female voice sounded from the void of space. ¡°Please walk through this path to the hall ahead.¡± Ye Fan raised his head. It was pitch-black, but the sound was very obvious. The endless darkness contained a power that made people feel fear. He was momentarily speechless. He came back to his senses and summoned the Golden Sparrow. Then, he walked forward. No matter what, he had to follow the voice and take a look at the so-called hall. Besides, the danger of the mystic realm was extremely high, but it was based on all kinds of challenges and tests. No one had heard of traps to harm people. Just as he was thinking this, a very clear sound of footsteps suddenly came from ahead. The sound of metal coming into contact with the ground was very ear-piercing. Gradually, five relatively tall figures appeared in the darkness. They were about three meters tall, and cold shadows could be vaguely seen on the metal outlines of their faces. Their faces were expressionless. On their cold and hard torsos, there were dense willow nails. Bronze and iron puppets! Ye Fan was very surprised. He sized up the creatures that had suddenly appeared. His gaze swept past the huge clockwork on their backs before he saw the cold bows in their hands. Click, click. They suddenly moved faster. They suddenly charged at Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes turned cold and he quickly reacted. Chapter 65 - 65 Bronze and Iron Puppets 65 Bronze and Iron Puppets Ye Fan ordered the Golden Sparrow to go forward and quickly put Soul Protection on himself. He felt that he should be more careful with these strange creatures that could hardly be called magical beasts. However, things were not as bad as he had imagined. The Golden Sparrow directly split the bronze puppets at the front into two. With just one Wind Blade, they disintegrated in the air, and parts flew everywhere. From the looks of it, they were probably only at the peak of Rank 2. Ye Fan¡¯s heart was a bit heavy. A creature at the peak of the second rank could only be dealt with by a third-rank pet. As soon as he entered this Lost Mystic Realm, he encountered such an obstacle. Then, this mystic realm¡¯s level was much higher than the previous Fate Arena. Just as he was thinking about it, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. Lost Mystic Realm Exploration mission was issued. He could obtain corresponding evolution points after passing the tests of the Mystic Realm Protector. Hearing this, Ye Fan exhaled. Sure enough, as he had expected, it seemed that the so-called mission would be triggered as long as he entered the Lost Mystic Realm. ¡°That¡¯s good. I have another way to obtain evolution points.¡± Ye Fan muttered to himself. The Golden Sparrow had already dealt with five bronze puppets. After a rough inspection, he did not gain much. He continued to walk down. Then, he was attacked by more puppets. He would encounter a wave almost every four to five hundred meters. There were at least five or six of them in each wave. Fortunately, not many of these puppets came up at once. Otherwise, Ye Fan probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to resist them. The journey was quite smooth. After walking for an unknown period of time, a faint light appeared in front of him. Ye Fan¡¯s mind shook. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the end. At this moment, short and hurried footsteps sounded. Four people rushed over from the darkness. Ye Fan immediately stopped. The people who had come were four men. There were two older and two younger ones. The older ones looked to be in their forties and looked quite mature. As for the other two, they looked to be in their twenties. They had eight pets by their side, guarding them firmly. The moment they saw Ye Fan, the two middle-aged men immediately revealed vigilant expressions. When they saw the Cute Sparrow beside Ye Fan, they were shocked. A young man less than 20 years old and a Cute Sparrow were really a strange combination. Ye Fan was slightly surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected to meet someone else in this mystic realm. He thought about how he had opened the mystic realm and how there was a fixed time. He thought that there would be many people entering the mystic realm this time. Ye Fan fell into deep thought. One of the four people couldn¡¯t help but ask him, ¡°Did you also enter through a card too?¡± As he spoke, he sized up Ye Fan with a strange gaze. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Ye Fan looked too strange. It was inevitable that people would be stunned. Without waiting for Ye Fan to answer, one of them glanced at the Cute Sparrow beside him with disdain. ¡°Why are you talking to such a guy? Look at his Cute Sparrow. It¡¯s obvious that he got in by luck. There¡¯s no need to talk nonsense with him.¡± Another young man chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right. Hurry up and go to that hall. If we¡¯re late, the treasures will be picked up by others.¡± The two middle-aged men frowned when they heard their words. Along the way, they encountered many bronze and iron puppets. Naturally, this young man had experienced the same. Since he could come here without being injured, he should not be too weak. This Cute Sparrow might be some kind of cover. The two young masters beside them were indeed too young. But after thinking about it, they didn¡¯t explain. They only took a deep look at Ye Fan before turning to leave. Before leaving, the two youths even disdainfully glanced at Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn¡¯t care about their gazes. Watching them leave, he pondered. From the middle-aged man¡¯s words, it could be seen that they had also entered through that card. In that case, not only could that card allow one person to enter, but it could also teleport many people at the same time. Even if he knew, Ye Fan would only come alone. It would be more convenient for him to do things alone. Returning to his senses, Ye Fan brought the Golden Sparrow to where the light was. With the group of people in front of him, it was much more convenient for him. Along the way, he only saw the corpses of bronze and iron puppets all over the ground and did not encounter any attacks. After about ten minutes, a huge door of light entered his sight. Ye Fan stood in front of the door and carefully observed it for a long time. Not finding anything wrong, he walked in. Just as he stepped in, he felt his vision blur. When he regained his clarity, he discovered that he was in a vast stone hall. Shua! Countless gazes shot towards him. Ye Fan was slightly frightened. Only now did he realize that there were already many people in this hall! Chapter 66 - 66 Chaos 66 Chaos Ye Fan looked at the crowd in the hall in shock. He had long since expected that there would be many people who would enter the secret realm. However, he did not expect there to be so many of them. Was this a f*cking mystic realm? Or was it a market? On the other side, Ye Fan¡¯s appearance attracted the attention of many people, but they only stared at him for a while before looking away. Most people looked at him strangely. There were curious, surprised, sarcastic, disdainful, and many other gazes. !! However, most of these gazes were because of the Cute Sparrow. The moment they saw the Cute Sparrow, most people subconsciously thought that Ye Fan was just a lucky person who had accidentally obtained the key. He was just a new Beast Tamer. Very few people would look at him meaningfully. Ye Fan quickly recovered from his shock. He acted as if he didn¡¯t see the gazes around him. He observed the layout of the hall. There was nothing in the wide hall, and the surrounding walls were carved with very ancient and complicated patterns. There was a raised stone platform on the wall opposite the entrance. There were more than a thousand people on it. Although there were many people in the hall, it was very quiet. No one spoke loudly. They were only occasionally whispering to their companions. Everyone had very vigilant expressions on their faces. They carefully sized up everyone around them. Time gradually passed, and more than ten people entered the hall one after another. Soon, the mission notification sounded in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. Beep. You have passed the first level of the Seven Demon Protectors successfully. You have received 100 evolution points. At this moment, a pleasant and magnetic voice suddenly appeared in the hall. ¡°Congratulations on passing the first level of the Seven Demons Tower.¡± Everyone looked over and saw a figure appear on the stone platform in the depths of the hall. It was a tall woman whose entire body was emitting white light. To be precise, it was a woman with a human upper body and an egret lower body. The creature wore a pair of pure white feather accessories that looked like wings. She held a long sword in her hand and wore a tight dress, revealing her well-proportioned and beautiful waist. She pursed her lips tightly and had a faint smile on her face. Her light golden hair hung loosely on her shoulders, making her look like a sun goddess. ¡°I am Lian Yi, the guardian of the Seven Demons Tower.¡± Whispers broke out in the hall. Everyone looked at her appreciatively. She was the guardian of the Seven Demons Tower mentioned in the mission. Ye Fan curiously sized up Lian Yi. Was she a magical beast or something? Lian Yi didn¡¯t care about anyone¡¯s gaze. She ascended to the middle of the hall and circled around before saying, * ¡°I know you¡¯re here for the treasures of the Seven Demons Tower. I¡¯ll test you. Only those who pass the test can obtain the treasures.¡± ¡°What kind of test is it?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Everyone has passed the first level of the test. Next is the second level! A chaotic battle!¡± ¡°Everyone present will be randomly divided into groups. There are four to five people in each group. The winner can stay and obtain the opportunity to continue participating in the test.¡± ¡°As for the losers, they might be eliminated or directly lose their lives!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was noisy. Many people came with their companions. They did not expect that they would be separated in the second test. For a moment, everyone¡¯s expressions turned ugly. Lian Yi looked at their gazes, and a smile curled her lips. Without waiting for everyone to react, her hand flashed, and Ye Fan felt his vision blur. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in the arena. There was a thick white fog outside, and he could not see his fingers. There were four other people on the stage. One was a burly man, and another was a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The other two were familiar faces. They were the ones Ye Fan had met on the first level when he was fighting the puppets. They were the two people Ye Fan had just met in the four-man team, the middle-aged man called Uncle Li and the youth who had mocked Ye Fan. ¡°Uncle Li.¡± After discovering that he was in the same group as Uncle Li, the young man¡¯s face instantly revealed excitement. Uncle Li¡¯s expression froze. Although they could join forces with their companions, there would only be one winner in the chaotic battle. If that was the case, the other person would have to take the initiative to withdraw. However, without thinking, he could only withdraw. On the other hand, when they realized that Uncle Li and the young man were together, the burly man and the short man¡¯s expressions changed slightly. The two of them looked at each other and considered. They would work together to deal with these two guys first. They could not let them defeat them one by one. For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena was very heavy. What no one had expected was that the four people on the field seemed to have directly ignored Ye Fan. Most of their attention was on each other, and the reason was not a big deal. It was mainly because Ye Fan really looked too young. He wasn¡¯t even twenty years old. What kind of strength could such a young Beast Tamer have, let alone with the Cute Sparrow beside him? Such a guy was nothing to be afraid of. It was better to deal with the other guys first before dealing with him. Chapter 67 - 67 Yes, Yes, Yes 67 Yes, Yes, Yes The youth didn¡¯t even look at Ye Fan. The four of them quickly summoned their pets to fight. Ye Fan, who had been ignored, didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn¡¯t expected that being young would have such benefits. Ye Fan thought for a moment and understood why he had been ignored. However, he did not hurry to prove himself. Instead, he stood at the side and watched the battle calmly. The four people in the arena were not simple. The young man was a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. Uncle Li was a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. On the other side, the burly man and the short man were both Rank-3 Beast Tamers. The two of them were clearly not as strong as Uncle Li, but they were much stronger than the young man. Therefore, the two sides were evenly matched. More than ten pets were fighting in the arena. The battle was very intense. Ye Fan glanced at the sinister-looking youth. Clearly, this guy should be from a Beast Tamer family. Uncle Li was most likely his guard who protected him in this mystic realm to search for treasures. Seemingly seeing Ye Fan¡¯s gaze, the youth suddenly turned his head and revealed a disdainful smile. He even made a throat-cutting gesture with his hand. Ye Fan smiled back at him, a cold light appearing in his eyes. The battle became more and more intense. The situation changed after Uncle Li¡¯s fourth-rank pet killed a third-rank pet of the burly man. After that, Uncle Li and the young man quickly expanded their advantage. Victory seemed to be in sight. The burly man and the short man were having a hard time. Their faces were covered in sweat. Even though they were already holding on, they could not change the outcome of failure. The outcome had already been decided. The burly man and the short man looked very disappointed. Just as the two of them were about to say something, a mantis suddenly flashed and instantly arrived in front of the burly man. Its sharp blade cut through the air and slashed at him. The light of Soul Protection was broken after blocking it for two to three seconds. Then, it directly killed the burly man under his terrified gaze. Blood gushed out. The burly man¡¯s eyes widened in despair. His face was filled with hatred and unwillingness. The short man in the distance was shocked when he saw this scene. At this moment, the young man was already looking at him. For a moment, he broke out in cold sweat. He couldn¡¯t care less and hurriedly shouted, ¡°I admit defeat.¡± As his voice fell, a beam of white light wrapped around his body and HE instantly disappeared. The young man smiled disdainfully. ¡°You sure run fast.¡± ¡°Young Master Liu, why are you doing this?¡± Uncle Li said with a livid expression. ¡°Since the outcome has already been decided, we can just let them admit defeat. Why do we have to kill them?¡± The young man snorted disdainfully. ¡°We¡¯re in a mystic realm. These people are all enemies. Being kind to our enemies is being cruel to ourselves.¡± ¡°Besides, there are all kinds of people entering the mystic realm.¡± ¡°After leaving the Remains, no one knows each other. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Don¡¯t you think so?¡± The last sentence was directed at Ye Fan. The youth¡¯s gaze was fixed on Ye Fan, an arrogant expression on his face. The mantis also unintentionally aimed its sharp blade at Ye Fan. In the youth¡¯s opinion, after seeing his methods, Ye Fan should be extremely afraid. But what he hadn¡¯t expected was that Ye Fan didn¡¯t show any panic on his face. Instead, he smiled at him and said. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right.¡± This stunned the young man for a moment. When he came back to his senses, the young man¡¯s expression darkened, and his eyes flickered with murderous intent. On the other hand, when Uncle Li saw Ye Fan like this, for some reason, he felt a trace of unease. However, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he frowned and looked at the young man with a murderous expression. He sighed deeply. He said to Ye Fan, ¡°Why don¡¯t you admit defeat?¡± Ye Fan shook his head. ¡°The outcome hasn¡¯t been decided yet!¡± Uncle Li sighed. The young man was cold. ¡°Uncle Li, why are you wasting your breath on him? Since he wants to die, let¡¯s fulfill his wish.¡± Uncle Li stopped talking after hearing this. Ye Fan only had this Cute Sparrow. Seeing how young he was, his strength definitely wouldn¡¯t be too high. He would only be at the second rank at best. Even if he miraculously reached Rank 3, he was still not their match. Since he was destined to lose, why didn¡¯t he just admit defeat? It was better than losing his life. Seeing that Uncle Li no longer spoke, the youth became even more pleased. His eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent as he looked at Ye Fan. Seemingly sensing what its master was thinking, the mantis suddenly flew over, aggressively attacking Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he indifferently looked at the charging mantis. The Golden Sparrow stood there in a daze. The man and the beast seemed to be stunned on the spot. Chapter 68 - 68 Hilarious 68 Hilarious Seeing him like this, the young man almost laughed out loud. With this bit of strength and courage, that guy dared to come to the mystic realm alone. He was really courting death! He secretly gave up. Since this kid refused to admit defeat, he would let the mantis kill him directly. Uncle Li shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation. Just as the two of them felt that Ye Fan was definitely dead, the Golden Sparrow finally moved. With a clang, the Feather Sword suddenly shot out like lightning. It tore through the air and stabbed fiercely at the mantis at an extremely fast speed. An ear-piercing sound tore through the air. The mantis, who was charging forward at full speed, could not dodge in time. It had no choice but to raise its two forelimbs in front of it. However, its usually incomparably hard forelimbs were as brittle as paper under the feather sword. The feather sword pierced through its forelimbs without any obstruction. It directly pierced through the mantis¡¯s body. Shua! The mantis suddenly stopped. In the next moment, with the sound of blood spurting, the mantis¡¯s body was shot into a sieve. Blood splattered on the ground as its body smashed to the ground. The smile on the young man¡¯s face froze. He looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, unable to recover. Uncle Li also had a look of disbelief on his face. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The young man looked at the mantis¡¯s corpse in a daze. He had never expected his strongest pet to be killed so easily. Uncle Li suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with fear. The mantis was an intermediate Rank-3 pet, but it had been instantly killed in one strike. And by a Cute Sparrow! No, that was impossible! Uncle Li immediately reacted. To instantly kill the mantis, it had to be at least a fourth-rank pet. Cute Sparrow. No, this was not a Cute Sparrow at all! But no matter what, the youth in front of him was undoubtedly a Rank-4 Beast Tamer! Thinking of this, the shock in Uncle Li¡¯s heart increased. He had never expected that this young man, who was not even twenty years old, was actually a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. What kind of talent was this? Could he be from an ancient Beast Tamer family? After Uncle Li understood this, the young man gritted his teeth. ¡°How dare you kill my mantis? I¡¯ll make you pay with your life!¡± This descendant of an aristocratic family who was used to bullying others clearly did not understand the current situation. His heart was already filled with the anger of his beloved pet dying. His gaze was sinister as he stared at Ye Fan, unhesitatingly giving the order to attack. The two pets guarding him quickly pounced forward. Unfortunately, these two pets were even weaker than the mantis. They were just low-level third-rank pets. As soon as they rushed to the Golden Sparrow¡¯s side, a wave of feather swords shot out, and two more corpses appeared on the ground. This scene made the young man¡¯s expression turn even uglier. He gradually woke up and realized that something was wrong. How was this kid a novice Beast Tamer? He was clearly a Rank-4 Beast Tamer with extraordinary strength. At this moment, he thought the same thing as Uncle Li. However, he immediately started sneering again. So what if the guy was a disciple of an ancient family? If he died in this mystic realm, who knew how he died? Who could take revenge on them? Thinking of this, the young man¡¯s killing intent intensified. ¡°Uncle Li, kill him!¡± After hesitating for a while, Uncle Li finally chose to listen to his young master. The four pet beasts beside him instantly pounced at Ye Fan in unison. Compared to the young man, Uncle Li was much stronger. He was a genuine Rank-4 Beast Tamer. Moreover, he had more experience at his age. Among the four pets, two were at the intermediate level of the fourth rank, and there was one at the upper level of the fourth rank. The other two pets were also at the peak of the third rank. The lineup was very powerful. ¡°You¡¯re dead meat!¡± The young man sneered. In his opinion, even if Ye Fan was a Rank-4 Beast Tamer, with his age, he had definitely just advanced. His accumulation of pets was definitely not comparable to Uncle Li beside him. At the fourth rank, Uncle Li definitely had more pets than the other party. Winning was very easy. The young man watched helplessly as the Cute Sparrow actually transformed into ten identical clones out of thin air. ¡°Clone Summoning!¡± Instantly, he froze on the spot. Uncle Li exclaimed. As the Golden Sparrow evolved, the power of the summoning skill also increased. The number directly soared to ten, and their level was even higher! The clones were all at the peak of the third rank, and ten pets at the peak of the third rank were not inferior to two pets at the intermediate level of the fourth rank. The battle began! The two sides instantly fought! The Golden Sparrow faced the high-level fourth-rank pet. The remaining three were held back by the ten clones. The two sides were now on par, so there was no difference in strength? Chapter 69 - 69 Begging for Mercy 69 Begging for Mercy Although they did not gain any advantage, the young man did not have any worry on his face. Instead, he was very proud. Although they seemed to be evenly matched, the ten clones were not as strong as Uncle Li¡¯s three pets. They would definitely not be able to resist for long. As long as they all died, they would all be eliminated. The three pets would join the battle against the Cute Sparrow. At that time, victory would still belong to them. However, the following situation was greatly beyond his expectations. The first to change the situation was not the battle with more participants. Instead, it was the battle between the Golden Sparrow and the high-level pet of the fourth rank. The high-level pet was a Statue Ghost. !! The Statue Ghost¡¯s body was mostly made of stone, and its defense was very strong. Its pair of sharp claws could easily break a rock. Its attack power was also very tough. At the same time, it also had very agile flying abilities. Overall, it was almost invincible in a battle of the same level. Logically speaking, under such circumstances, the Statue Ghost would definitely have the upper hand. However, the reality was unexpected. The defense and sharp claws that the Statue Ghost was so proud of could not withstand a single blow from the Golden Sparrow. The sharp claws that were enough to tear through the most solid rock could not leave any traces on the Golden Sparrow¡¯s body. Sometimes, they could not even touch it. The feather sword that the Golden Sparrow casually shot out could easily hit the Statue Ghost. Its sprinting speed was also very strong. Every time it hit the Statue Ghost, it was as if the Statue Ghost had been smashed by a meat hammer. The Statue Ghost trembled and almost lost its balance in the air. ¡°What the f*ck is this?¡± Seeing this situation, the smile on the young man¡¯s face disappeared, replaced by deep fear. Beside him, Uncle Li also revealed a very solemn expression. ¡°This Cute Sparrow is not simple. It most likely awakened some kind of talent that greatly strengthened its defense.¡± ¡°From its combat reaction speed, it must have awakened this talent.¡± The more Uncle Li said, the more shocked he became. This Cute Sparrow was simply terrifying. Its speed, strength, and defense were all very powerful in every aspect! There was almost no weakness in all aspects! If one wanted to do this, one would have to spend a lot of energy and crystals! How did this young man do it? The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became! Fortunately, the Cute Sparrow was not without weaknesses. It could not fly fast! As long as the Statue Ghost could still hold the advantage, it would be invincible! But before he could finish speaking, an ancient roar sounded. Roar! The young man and Uncle Li¡¯s minds went blank, and their ears buzzed. When they came back to their senses¡­ The Statue Ghost swayed in the air as if it was drunk. In the next second, it fell to the ground! The Golden Sparrow suddenly flew in front of the Statue Ghost and cut off its wings very cleanly. Before it could wake up, it had already become a pitiful wingless bird. It could no longer fly! Uncle Li and the young man¡¯s expressions turned ugly, but the Golden Sparrow waved its wings again. Its wings turned into blades that enveloped the Statue Ghost. The Statue Ghost, which had lost its flying and defensive abilities, was useless at this moment. It had completely lost the strength to resist the Golden Sparrow. In less than a minute, it was directly torn to pieces by the Golden Sparrow¡¯s sharp claws. After killing the Statue Ghost, the Golden Sparrow did not directly help the clones. It quickly rushed in front of Uncle Li and the young man. The two of them looked afraid. At this moment, the outcome was already decided! Even the strongest Statue Ghost had died under the other party¡¯s hands. They had no chance of winning! Who would have thought that this young man would be so powerful? He defeated two people with just one pet! It was simply unimaginable! Seeing that the Golden Sparrow was about to reach them, Uncle Li was the first to react. The fear of death enveloped his entire body. He could not care less about the young man. He hurriedly shouted, ¡°I¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, an invisible impact arrived. The Golden Sparrow accurately collided with Uncle Li and the young man. The two of them screamed and flew out. Uncle Li¡¯s voice was cut off in his throat. Uncle Li¡¯s expression changed drastically. From the corner of his eye, he happened to see Ye Fan retract his hand, a cold smile on his face. ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± Despair enveloped his entire body. In the next second, the Golden Sparrow rushed in front of them at an astonishing speed. The feather sword shot out, and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness! Uncle Li died with regrets. ¡°What is this? It¡¯s actually so powerful?¡± However, he would never know the answer. At this moment, the young man finally recovered from the pain. Seeing Uncle Li die, his face instantly turned as pale as tin paper, and his entire body trembled. In a flash, the Golden Sparrow appeared in front of him and killed the young man in the same way. Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Although the Soul Protection of the middle-aged man called Uncle Li was not as good as his, he could at least block the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attack. On the other hand, the young man could not even withstand a single blow. It could be seen how weak he was. And such a person was so arrogant previously. It was really ridiculous! Originally, he had planned to ask about the young man¡¯s background, but on second thought, if he killed him in this life¡¯s secret realm, he would not be retaliated against after leaving. If he kept the guy alive, the guy might take revenge on him! Chapter 70 - 70 High Elimination Probability 70 High Elimination Probability Most of the lost mystic realms were very dangerous. They were not only on guard against all kinds of tests, but also the other human beings. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed. By the time he reacted, a dense white light had surged out of his body. Not long after, white light enveloped him. When he came back to his senses, he was already in the hall. Ye Fan looked at his surroundings. There weren¡¯t any major changes, but the patterns on the wall had changed. The entire hall had also become smaller. Clearly, this was the second floor. Ye Fan looked around. At this moment, there were already many people in the hall. Compared to the previous thousand people, the number of people had decreased by at least 80%. Clearly, the ones still here were the winners of the chaotic battles just now. It was only the second level, but the elimination rate was already so high. Ye Fan pondered. Many people had the same thought as him. They gathered together and whispered. ¡°This test method is too terrifying. 70 to 80% of the people were eliminated in an instant.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it better to have fewer people?¡± ¡°But this is only the second level, and it¡¯s already so difficult.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re both Rank-4 Beast Tamers. Why would we be afraid of not reaching the end?¡± A sneer came from the side. The two of them turned around and glared. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°I¡¯m laughing at you. You¡¯re so arrogant. Which one who can stay here isn¡¯t a Rank-4 Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°There might even be Rank 5 Beast Tamers here. What are you guys so smug about?¡± Those who had just experienced an intense battle had bad tempers. They would easily quarrel. Ye Fan lost interest after a glance. However, he soon saw a familiar person not far away. It was Uncle Li and the young man¡¯s former companions. At this moment, they were looking for their companions. Ye Fan narrowed his eyes for a while before retracting them. Coincidentally, the mission notification sounded. ¡°You have passed the second test of the Seven Demon Protectors and obtained 200 evolution points.¡± At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again. In an instant, the entire hall fell silent. ¡°Congratulations on passing the second level of the Seven Demons Tower.¡± Lian Yi¡¯s tall figure appeared on the stone platform. With her dangerous and charming glance, the few people who were arguing immediately shut their mouths. They were not fools to have come this far. They naturally could imagine that the guardian in front of them must be very powerful, not to mention that it was the guardian of the entire mystic realm. If they angered the other party and were directly expelled, they would not be able to cry. ¡°Currently, there are 354 testers left. Please get ready to face the test on the third floor.¡± ¡°According to the rules of the Seven Demons Tower, everyone can choose whether to leave the mystic realm or not. I will be responsible for sending you back to the place you came from.¡± Everyone looked at each other without saying anything. They had finally passed the previous test. No one wanted to leave at this time. Ye Fan was a bit surprised. Putting aside the difficulty of the test, this test of the Seven Demons Tower was very considerate. The challenger could choose whether to continue. This was a hundred times better than the rule of the Fate Arena where failure would turn one into a stone statue. After more than ten seconds of silence in the hall, Lian Yi continued. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s begin the test on the third floor.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, light shot out from Lian Yi¡¯s body, and she disappeared from the spot. Everyone was a little surprised by this scene. They looked around. At this moment, a low buzzing sound suddenly echoed. It sounded like some creatures flapping their wings and gathering together. Everyone was a little shocked. ¡°Look up.¡± Suddenly, someone shouted in shock. Everyone looked up and saw countless Cockroach Ghosts the size of cats circling in the darkness above their heads. They flapped their wings and flew down. They flew towards the crowd in the hall in a dense and endless manner, like a thick curtain. Anyone who saw them could not help but feel their scalps tingle. ¡°It¡¯s the Cockroach Ghost!¡± Flustered emotions instantly spread in the crowd, and many people¡¯s expressions changed drastically. The cockroach ghost was a high-level Rank-3 magical beast! To the Beast Tamers present, it wasn¡¯t considered powerful. Anyone could fight and deal with ten or twenty of them. However, the number of cockroach ghosts in front of them was so shocking! How could the people present deal with them? Even if the number of people doubled, they would not be able to resist them! ¡°The test of the third level is survival!¡± Lian Yi¡¯s voice sounded again, echoing in the void for a long time. ¡°When the number of survivors drops to 100, the test will end.¡± Everyone in the hall instantly cursed in their hearts. Even Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips. No wonder she had kindly given them a chance to quit before the test began. It seemed that the test was to torture them to death! 100 people meant that more than half of the people present had to be eliminated. This time, they would die without even having the chance to admit defeat! It was simply cruel! Chapter 71 - 71 Cruel Purgatory 71 Cruel Purgatory The sound of the cockroach ghosts¡¯ wings flapping echoed in the hall. Everyone felt a little stuffy in their chests, but no one cared about that at the moment. The moment the cockroach ghost appeared, everyone summoned their pets. Ye Fan immediately retreated to the edge of the hall. Facing such a shocking number of cockroach ghosts, fighting them in the open was no different from courting death. It wouldn¡¯t be long before the cockroach ghosts that attacked from all directions could eat people and pets clean. Many smart people also reacted and retreated to the corners. The place Ye Fan found happened to be between the protrusions of two walls. This way, he only needed to face the enemies attacking from the front and would not be attacked from multiple sides. Such a good position immediately attracted the envy of others. The middle-aged man closest to them shouted evilly. ¡°Give up your place.¡± As he spoke, a Golden Python beside him stuck out its tongue ferociously. It clearly wanted to kill Ye Fan and take his position later. Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he indifferently glanced at him. Needless to say, the Golden Sparrow fought the Golden Python head-on with lightning speed. The Golden Python did not dodge at all. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s beak pecked at its head. The middle-aged man sneered. The Golden Python¡¯s entire body was wrapped in hard scales. How could a Cute Sparrow like that peck through it? It was simply daydreaming! Let¡¯s see how the Golden Python killed this Cute Sparrow! However, what happened next made the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes widen. The Golden Python¡¯s sharp teeth stopped on the surface of the Golden Sparrow¡¯s feathers. No matter what, they could not penetrate them. Other than leaving faint teeth marks on it, the teeth couldn¡¯t even pierce the feathers. ¡°What is this? How can they not even pierce through feathers?¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes almost popped out. The Golden Python could even bite through a ten-centimeter iron plate! But now, it couldn¡¯t even break the feathers of a Cute Sparrow. ¡°What kind of f*cking defense is this?¡± Just as he was thinking about it, a shrill cry suddenly sounded. He quickly turned around. The Golden Python¡¯s head was raised high. There was a bloody wound on its forehead, and blood was gushing out like spring water. This time, the middle-aged man¡¯s expression instantly turned to fear! What was this? Not only was its defense so terrifying, but its attack power was also so shocking? The beak directly broke through the Golden Python¡¯s scales and severely injured it! In shock, the middle-aged man hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry. Please let me go. I was wrong.¡± Only his Golden Python was a fourth-rank pet. If the Golden Python was dead now, it was impossible for him to survive the attack of the cockroach ghosts. Ye Fan acted as if he didn¡¯t hear him begging for mercy, allowing the Golden Sparrow to crazily attack the Golden Python. Not far away, the densely packed cockroach ghosts quickly approached. Just as they were about to reach him, the middle-aged man became even more flustered and suddenly roared, ¡°Do you have to die together? How can you resist the cockroach ghosts without the protection of your pet?¡± Before he could finish speaking, Ye Fan summoned the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox to appear at the same time. Gasps came from the surroundings. They all looked shocked. Not only was the Cute Sparrow exceptionally powerful, but he also had Scorching Fire and Hunter Fox. With such rare pets, this young man¡¯s foundation was simply terrifying! His background was definitely not simple! Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man¡¯s face turned ashen, and his eyes revealed despair. Remorse spread from the bottom of his heart, biting at his heart like a poisonous insect. If he had known that this guy was so strong, he would never have provoked him. But it was too late to regret now. The cockroach ghost had already rushed to his side. The Golden Python let out its last cry and collapsed. The middle-aged man could only grit his teeth and direct the other three pets to meet the attack. Unfortunately, facing the cockroach ghosts that was also at the third rank, these pets couldn¡¯t resist at all. Not long after, the middle-aged man and his pets were bitten to death by countless cockroach ghosts. Seeing the middle-aged man¡¯s fate, the nearby Beast Tamers looked at each other and extinguished their desire for Ye Fan¡¯s position. Originally, seeing that Ye Fan was so young and definitely not strong, they had thought of fighting over him. But they hadn¡¯t expected him to be a steel plate! He was so powerful and his methods were actually so ruthless. At such a critical moment, they did not want to get themselves into trouble. The hall was so spacious, and there were many suitable places. After dealing with the ignorant fellow, Ye Fan returned to the crevice in the wall and had the Golden Sparrow block the cockroach ghosts at the front. As for the Hunter Fox and the Scorching Fire, they stayed behind to release long-range attacks and fight together with it. Chapter 72 - 72 Death 72 Death The war gradually entered a white-hot state. The cries and screams in the hall were endless. Pets and Beast Tamers died almost every moment. Facing such a large group of magical beasts, the personal strength of Beast Tamers seemed so weak. Most of them could only withstand it for a while before being quickly devoured by the cockroach ghosts. Only a few strong lone wolves could withstand it. Most of them formed groups of twos and threes to fight the enemy together. For example, on Ye Fan¡¯s right were Uncle Li and the youth¡¯s two companions. On the left were two men and a woman. Although the young girl was only at the third rank, the other two men were all at the fourth rank. When the three of them worked together, the cockroach ghosts were not particularly difficult. The huge hall became filled with blood that flowed slowly, like hell on earth. The originally clean floor had long been filled with blood and corpses. There were cockroach ghosts, Beast Tamers, and pets. The smell of blood in the air was nauseating. ¡°What the hell is this?!¡± ¡°How annoying. This is simply not giving anyone a way out!¡± ¡°Go away, I don¡¯t want to die!¡± ¡°Not 100 yet? Where¡¯s the guardian? Come out quickly!¡± ¡°Help, I can¡¯t hold on anymore.¡± Terrified shouts came from all directions. The vulnerability of humanity and the fear of death were obvious at this moment. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was solemn as he stared at the battle ahead. From time to time, he would release his soul power to help the Golden Sparrow relieve the pressure. Fortunately, although the Hunter Fox and the Scorching Fire were only Rank 3, they weren¡¯t weaker than Rank 4. Otherwise, if he relied on the Golden Sparrow alone, even if he could resist the cockroach ghosts, he would not be able to avoid a fierce battle. Fortunately, the Golden Sparrow had Vitality Peck as support. If it was only used against a single enemy, the effect of this talent was not very obvious. However, against such a large number of enemies, the huge effect of Vitality Peck was vividly displayed. Every time it attacked the cockroach ghosts, the Golden Sparrow could obtain a certain amount of vital energy from them. Although it was not much, it was accumulated. Often, the cockroach ghosts would attack one after another and finally cause damage to the Golden Sparrow. In the blink of an eye, the Golden Sparrow absorbed their life force and healed itself. Fortunately, the cockroach ghosts had low intelligence. Otherwise, they would have vomited blood when they saw this situation. As time passed, everyone in the hall gradually stood still. But then, a new problem arose. The reason why cockroach ghosts had ghost in their name was because they were extremely ugly and had strange patterns. It was also because they had a certain amount of Corpse Poison! Unlike ordinary poison, Corpse Poison was targeted at the soul level. No matter how strong the physical defense was, it was useless! Apart from a few soul-type pets that could resist it, the other pets could only rely on their vitality to resist it! It was fine at first, but as they suffered more and more damage, the Corpse Poison would be accumulated and increased. Now, many pets had already begun to slow down. Ye Fan quickly discovered that the Golden Sparrow also had such symptoms. Vitality Peck was useless in expelling poison. Moreover, to a pet like the Golden Sparrow, who used Soul Fire as its source of life, Corpse Poison was even more dangerous. If this continued, it would probably be very difficult for the Golden Sparrow to block them. Ye Fan frowned. In such a situation, the best way was to let the pets take turns in the front to give them a chance to catch their breath. However, the Scorching Fire and the Hunter Fox¡¯s defense was far inferior to the Golden Sparrow¡¯s. If they really stood in front, they would probably be seriously injured and retreat before long. There were still five more tests ahead. Ye Fan didn¡¯t want to lose his combat strength here for no reason. Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he directly summoned the system interface and cast his gaze at the Basic Debuff Resistance on the Talent Panel. He did not know if Basic Debuff Resistance could resist Corpse Poison. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Fan directly chose to unlock it. Even if it did not work, unlocking the talent was not a loss. It would also increase his survivability to a certain extent. After spending 100 evolution points, Ye Fan unlocked Basic Debuff Resistance. He looked up at the Golden Sparrow. Seeing that its poisoning symptoms had eased, he nodded in satisfaction. After the Golden Sparrow communicated with him with its mind, it confirmed that Basic Debuff Resistance could resist Corpse Poison. This innate talent was indeed powerful. Joy flashed in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. With the support of Vitality Peck and Basic Debuff Resistance, it was not a big problem for the Golden Sparrow to last until the end. He could take this opportunity to increase its growth. Chapter 73 - 73 Duel 73 Duel The level of the Scorching Fire was a small level lower than the Cockroach Ghosts. This was equivalent to Scorching Fire killing monsters above its level. This way, it could obtain a lot of EXP. Its growth progress was originally more than 70%. If it did this, it might be able to max out its growth. Pan Ting stood at the back and carefully instructed her pets to clean up the cockroach ghosts. She originally had three insect beasts, but two of them were too low-level. In a battle of this scale, they were simply equivalent to cannon fodder. Therefore, she only summoned the most powerful peak Rank-3 pet. Her two cousins, Zhang Yu, Zhang Xiao, and their pets stood at the front, protecting her tightly. Compared to the tragic crowd around her, she was clearly lucky. ¡°This mystic realm is so terrifying. So many people actually died!¡± Pan Ting looked at the surroundings with a pale face. Zhang Xiao, who was in front, turned around to comfort her. ¡°Not all of them are like this. Although the challenges of the mystic realms are very difficult, this one is rare.¡± ¡°This time, the Seven Demons Tower is considered a very special test. Previously, the guardian gave us a chance to leave probably because of this.¡± Pan Ting nodded in realization. Then, she could not help but smile bitterly in her heart. This was the first time she had been to a mystic realm. It was really too terrifying. Just as her imagination was running wild, she saw the young man beside her from the corner of her eye. She stuck her head out and looked over. Not long ago, the scene of Ye Fan directly killing the middle-aged man was remembered by her. She was extremely shocked. This person looked younger than her, but his strength was much greater. In fact, he was even stronger than many Rank-4 Beast Tamers. It wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that such a young Rank-4 Beast Tamer was a genius! There was probably not a single Rank-4 Beast Tamer under the age of 20 in the entire Tian City. When she advanced to Rank 3 at the age of 20, she was already called a genius by many people. As for a Beast Tamer under the age of 20, how monstrous was his talent?! Pan Ting was especially curious about this person, so she couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances. In the end, she realized that something was wrong. Zhang Xiao, who was in front, felt that there was no movement behind him for a long time. He turned around and saw Pan Ting staring into the distance without blinking. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Tingting?¡± Pan Ting turned around and quickly waved her hand. ¡°Nothing. I think that Cute Sparrow is too strange.¡± Zhang Xiao followed her gaze. ¡°What¡¯s strange about that?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to be poisoned at all.¡± Zhang Xiao originally wanted to say, ¡°What¡¯s wrong about that¡­¡± But before he could finish, he suddenly reacted. That wasn¡¯t right. Shouldn¡¯t a pet like the Cute Sparrow, which had a soul, be severely restrained by the Corpse Poison?! Why was the Cute Sparrow completely fine? Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao looked at the Golden Sparrow and Ye Fan with shock. Zhang Yu also noticed this scene. He was a little older and had more knowledge than his younger cousins. After thinking for a while, he understood. ¡°That Cute Sparrow should have awakened some kind of resistance talent.¡± Pan Ting and Zhang Xiao looked at each other in surprise. They had heard of this, but they had never heard of a talent that could resist soul-type Corpse Poison. Zhang Yu saw their expressions and shook his head helplessly. ¡°There are countless types of pets in this world, and there are as many talents as the stars.¡± ¡°There are all kinds of special talents in the world. There¡¯s nothing strange about it.¡± He paused and then looked at Ye Fan, clicking his tongue in wonder. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, that pet most likely has a talent like absorbing vitality.¡± ¡°Otherwise, no matter how monstrous its defense is, it¡¯s impossible for it to not be injured.¡± Pan Ting and Zhang Xiao looked over and indeed found that the Cute Sparrow was still unscathed. ¡°This pet is too powerful! What kind of pet is this?¡± The two of them were shocked. Zhang Yu shook his head. ¡°I can recognize the other two, but I can¡¯t tell what this Cute Sparrow is.¡± ¡°However, with so many talents, it must be very powerful.¡± There were thousands of types of pets in the world. No one dared to say that they could recognize all of them. Zhang Yu wasn¡¯t very surprised that he didn¡¯t know the pet. At most, he was just curious. ¡°No matter what, that person must be extraordinary.¡± Zhang Xiao sighed. Pan Ting also agreed. Her family was already one of the top families, but even so, her entire family could not find many precious pets. For example, there was only one or two pets like the Scorching Fire that could evolve to the ninth rank. As for the Hunter Fox which had king-level potential, there was no need to think about it, let alone the extremely powerful Cute Sparrow. ¡°Stop staring. It won¡¯t be good if you make the other party unhappy,¡± Zhang Chao instructed. Pan Ting quickly looked away. Yes, not only was his pet powerful, but he was also very handsome! As more and more people died in the battle, the number of people in the hall decreased. At the same time, the number of cockroach ghosts was also greatly reduced. The ground was almost covered with the corpses of cockroach ghosts. The entire hall was filled with a nauseating smell. Suddenly, the cockroach ghosts stopped. They turned around and disappeared into the darkness above their heads without any reluctance. At the same time, everyone¡¯s vision blurred. In an instant, they arrived at a clean hall. The surrounding blood and corpses had long disappeared. Lian Yi¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Congratulations on passing the third test of the Seven Demons Tower.¡± Chapter 74 - 74 Instant Kill of Same Level 74 Instant Kill of Same Level It was finally over. The survivors heaved a sigh of relief. They all looked at the person on the stone platform. Ye Fan looked at the mission notification. The evolution points obtained from clearing the level were 300. In total, he had obtained 500 points from the three tests. This was a good gain. According to this increment, he would have at least a thousand evolution points from the next four levels. ¡°In this way, my strength will rise to the next level!¡± Ye Fan was very happy. He suppressed his joy and looked up at Lian Yi on the stone platform. She stood upright on the stone platform, her clear and bright eyes looking at everyone. ¡°There are still 100 testers left.¡± ¡°Next, please welcome the test on the fourth floor.¡± ¡°According to the usual practice, everyone can still choose to leave the Seven Demons Tower.¡± This time, no one refused as firmly as before. They were really shocked by the survival test just now. The next test would be equally or even more difficult. This was too terrifying. Although the treasure was good, they had to be alive to take it! For a moment, everyone¡¯s expressions changed. Lian Yi was not in a hurry. She patiently let everyone have time to think. Two minutes later, she asked again. In the end, a total of nine people chose to quit. ¡°Then let the fourth test begin!¡± The sound of Lian Yi landed, and a familiar feeling assaulted him. The fog dissipated, and Ye Fan¡¯s vision became clear. He found himself in a spacious environment. There were very tall walls in all directions. Tens of meters opposite him was a huge iron fence. ¡°Arena?¡± Ye Fan looked around. Sure enough, it was as he had thought. A huge leopard with a spike-like tail gradually rose from the distant fence and walked in elegantly. It was a Thorn-Tailed Leopard, a high-level Rank-4 magical beast. Ye Fan was very surprised. He wasn¡¯t surprised that the enemy was very powerful, but rather that this test was so simple. Compared to the cockroach ghosts, it could not be simpler. Although he was puzzled, Ye Fan¡¯s movements weren¡¯t slow. Before the Thorn-Tailed Leopard could attack, he immediately asked the Golden Sparrow to take the initiative to attack. Although the Thorn-Tailed Leopard was a small level higher than the Golden Sparrow, in terms of true strength, the Thorn-Tailed Leopard was ruthlessly left behind. The battle had just begun when the Golden Sparrow firmly gained the upper hand. In less than ten minutes, the Thorn-Tailed Leopard lay on the ground without any signs of life. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth also increased by 2.36%. In a flash, Ye Fan once more returned to the hall. As usual, the hall¡¯s area was much smaller than before. It was obvious that he had reached the fifth floor. White light flickered around him as Beast Tamers returned to the hall one after another. Everyone looked puzzled. ¡°Sigh, the difficulty this time is not high.¡± ¡°Indeed, my opponent was only an intermediate Rank-4 magical beast.¡± ¡°W-Why was mine at the peak of Rank 4?¡± ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t win. Mine was a high-level Rank-4 enemy.¡± Only then did everyone understand that the enemies they faced were different. After roughly understanding what the other party had experienced, they gradually understood the reason. It turned out that the level of the magical beasts everyone faced was a small level higher than their pet with the highest level. This round was to screen out those who aren¡¯t strong enough, Ye Fan thought. The difficulty of this round was not high. Although the level of the opposite magic beast was relatively high, Beast Tamers did not just have one pet. They had an advantage in numbers. Three against one, or even four against one. It was not particularly difficult to defeat the magical beast. However, if someone¡¯s strength was below average and they only relied on their companions and luck to get here, this stage would be very difficult for them. Ye Fan looked at the people around him. The number of people wasn¡¯t much different from before. What was worth mentioning was that the Seven Demons Tower seemed to have some restrictions. Among the Beast Tamers who entered the tower, the highest were only Rank-4 Beast Tamers. Almost all the people left in the mystic realm were Rank-4 Beast Tamers. There were almost no Rank-3 Beast Tamers. Other than the youth¡¯s companion, there was only the girl who had been on Ye Fan¡¯s left during the assessment. ¡°Congratulations on passing the fourth test of Seven Demons Tower.¡± Lian Yi appeared again. ¡°Currently, there are 78 testers left. Next, you will face the test of the fifth floor.¡± According to the usual, Lian Yi gave everyone a chance to choose whether to leave or not. It seemed that the test just now was too simple, and everyone¡¯s expressions were not so shaken. No one chose to leave. Lian Yi was not surprised by their appearance. Lian Yi continued, ¡°Then the test on the fifth floor begins.¡± ¡°Next, you will be randomly assigned to teams of two and the teams will fight each other. The winners will be able to qualify for the next round.¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions changed. It was another test of killing each other, and half of them had to be eliminated. Damn it. Just now, they were glad that the difficulty had decreased. In the blink of an eye, the test became ruthless again. After the rules were announced, before anyone could complain, their vision blurred. After the white light dissipated, Ye Fan appeared on a wide arena. Chapter 75 - 75 Duel 75 Duel A clear cry attracted Ye Fan¡¯s attention. Ye Fan turned around and saw that the person in his team was actually that Rank-3 Beast Tamer girl. As for Pan Ting, she also nervously looked at Ye Fan. She had never thought that she would become companions with this mysterious young man. At this moment, two men instantly appeared opposite them. !! One was fat, about 30 years old, and the other was medium-sized, wearing a hat. When the two of them saw that it was Ye Fan and Pan Ting, their eyes blossomed with joy. They had never expected their opponents to be so young. ¡°Sigh, we¡¯re really lucky to meet two children.¡± The man in the hat chuckled. It was definitely not simple to stay in the Seven Demons Tower until now. But the two of them looked so young. It was better than facing those experienced old foxes. In the end, age was also one of the factors that determined strength. ¡°The couple in front of me looks so young. Their strength can¡¯t be too great.¡± The other fat man also smiled and nodded, looking at Ye Fan and Pan Ting with disdain. ¡°You should admit defeat early, lest you sacrifice your pets.¡± The man in the hat nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right. If you admit defeat now, you won¡¯t have to suffer.¡± Pan Ting¡¯s face turned pale. She bit her lip. Of course, she knew her own strength. If not for her two cousins, she would have been eliminated long ago with her strength as a Rank-3 Beast Tamer. Right now, she was no match for any Rank-4 Beast Tamer. Although that mysterious-looking young man was very strong, he could only deal with one Rank-4 Beast Tamer at most. In terms of overall strength, there was no doubt that the other party had the absolute advantage. In the end, she was the one who held them back. Thinking of this, Pan Ting felt both guilty and ashamed. A calm voice sounded. ¡°It¡¯s still unknown who will win.¡± Pan Ting looked over in shock and saw that Ye Fan was extremely calm, not the slightest bit of worry on his face. The two people opposite him laughed when they heard this. The man in the hat mocked disdainfully, ¡°Do the two of you really think you¡¯re our match? I just don¡¯t want my pets to waste their strength. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have given you such a nice speech. What a joke.¡± The fat man also coldly glanced at Ye Fan. ¡°Since he¡¯s so ignorant, don¡¯t say anything more to him. Teach him a lesson and let him recognize reality.¡± At this point, the two of them stopped wasting their breath and ordered their pets to attack. Pan Ting¡¯s expression changed. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything. Helpless, she could only get her pets to fight them. Although she knew that they were no match for the two of them, she was still unwilling to admit defeat. She had to fight first. Even if she failed, she would not regret it. Thinking of how Ye Fan was still so calm even after seeing such a scene, she found him worthy of her admiration! It was one thing to lose, but not fighting at all only meant cowardice. ¡°Looks like I have to learn from him¡­¡± Pan Ting sighed in her heart. However, just as this thought appeared in her mind¡­ The Scorching Fire directly came out fiercely and pounced at the pets alone. ¡°What¡¯s this for?¡± Pan Ting was very confused. But before she could figure it out, the Scorching Fire had already rushed to the middle of the arena. Just as it was about to collide with the other party¡¯s pets, the flames on its body brightened. Blinding light suddenly occupied the entire arena. In an instant, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded. The surging hot flames drowned the fat man, the hat man, and all their pets with the shock wave. The flames rolled forward at an astonishing speed. The two of them were swallowed together. The light of Soul Protection flickered for a while before dissipating in the next moment. The two of them and their pets were directly swallowed and obliterated by the flames. They did not even have the chance to scream before the scorching flames covered them. When the flames spread and the dust dissipated, there were no traces of the enemy left on the spot, only charred marks. Silence, dead silence! Pan Ting looked at the scene in front of her and her mind rumbled. For a moment, she lost all ability to think. ¡°W-what¡¯s going on?¡± In the blink of an eye, the two powerful Rank-4 Beast Tamers were gone? If she hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes, Pan Ting wouldn¡¯t have dared to think about it. Chapter 76 - 76 Shock 76 Shock After an unknown period of time. Pan Ting blankly looked at Ye Fan, her face filled with disbelief. He was clearly just a young Beast Tamer who wasn¡¯t even twenty years old. But he actually instantly killed two Rank-4 Beast Tamers. This was simply unimaginable. Pan Ting¡¯s heart was still filled with shock. Thinking about how she had been worried about losing a second ago, she felt a little ridiculous. It turned out that she was thinking too much. With his powerful strength, even if he was the only one who fought, the victory would definitely be his. No wonder he was so calm from the beginning to the end. It turned out that he was very confident in his strength. Ye Fan didn¡¯t notice the change in her expression. He summoned the system interface and took a look. Currently, the Scorching Fire had entered a cooldown in resurrection state. The resurrection time was 222 hours. If he wanted to quickly deal with his opponents, he had to pay a price. The hat man and the fat man were both Rank 4 Beast Tamers. The two of them had a total of eight pets. Among them, three-quarters of the pets were at the fourth rank. There were even two at the peak of the fourth rank. They were very powerful. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn¡¯t be so confident. That was why they were so arrogant when they saw him and Pan Ting at such a young age. If he hadn¡¯t used self-explosion, Ye Fan really didn¡¯t have a 100% chance of winning. Ye Fan glanced at Pan Ting. After all, this teammate really wasn¡¯t good enough. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come up with such a plan. Pan Ting was somewhat puzzled by Ye Fan¡¯s gaze. But before she could say anything, white light surged out of her body. When the light dissipated, the two of them had already reached the sixth level of the Seven Demons Tower. The hall was empty. Pan Ting was not surprised to see this. Presumably, no one would instantly kill their opponents like Ye Fan did and end the battle so cleanly. Under normal circumstances, they would have to fight fiercely. Thinking of this, Ye Fan became even more lofty and mysterious in Pan Ting¡¯s heart. Such a young and powerful Beast Tamer, which family was he from? Although Pan Ting had some thoughts and wanted to say a few words to Ye Fan, Ye Fan stood to the side and closed his eyes to rest. After thinking about it, she decided not to disturb him. The crowd gradually appeared. Zhang Chao and Zhang Yu also successfully passed the test. They immediately looked for Pan Ting. Seeing that she was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t be able to get through this.¡± Zhang Xiao sighed. It wasn¡¯t that he looked down on his cousin, but without his and Zhang Yu¡¯s protection, Pan Ting¡¯s strength as a Rank-3 Beast Tamer was really not enough. It was certain that she would lose against a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. This way, it would be difficult for the Beast Tamer who formed a team with her. After knowing the contents of the test, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yu did not have any expectations that Pan Ting would be able to pass. They only hoped that she could safely leave the Seven Demons Tower. However, they did not expect the outcome to be so surprising. ¡°Could your opponent be a Rank-3 Beast Tamer too?¡± This was the only reason Zhang Yu could think of. Pan Ting shook her head with a strange expression. ¡°No, my opponents were two Rank-4 Beast Tamers.¡± Zhang Xiao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Then how did you win?¡± Pan Ting quietly told the two of them what had happened. After hearing this, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yu were dumbfounded. They couldn¡¯t come back to their senses for a long time. Instant kill, and two Rank-4 Beast Tamers at that, including their pets. Why did this sound like nonsense? If it was a Rank-5 Beast Tamer who did this, they wouldn¡¯t be so surprised. However, the rules of the Seven Demons Tower were right there. The Beast Tamers who entered the tower were at most Rank-4. Therefore, it was impossible for that young man to be a Rank-5 Beast Tamer. He was actually so powerful to instantly kill two Rank-4 Beast Tamers. Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock. Even at the same level, there were differences in strength. However, no matter how weak a Rank-4 Beast Tamer was, they were still Rank-4. Not to mention anything else, it would take a lot of effort for him to deal with a fourth-rank pet. Instant kill was even more unimaginable! Zhang Yu looked thoughtful. ¡°According to Tingting, that person must have let the Scorching Fire use some kind of mutual destruction skill.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why it had such terrifying power.¡± When Zhang Xiao and Pan Ting heard his words, they thought about it and felt that this might be the case. She felt a little relieved, but even so, that person was still very powerful despite his young age. They didn¡¯t know how he could be so powerful. Zhang Xiao was very surprised and envious. At the age of 20, he was only a Rank-2 Beast Tamer. Compared to him, the difference was like heaven and earth. Zhang Yu shook his head with a worried expression. Having such a powerful enemy was not a good thing for them. This meant that there was an incomparably powerful opponent fighting for the treasures in the mystic realm. Chapter 77 - 77 Nightmare 77 Nightmare After an unknown period of time. In the hall, no white light appeared again. Clearly, the outcome of all the battles had already been decided. At a glance, there were only a few heads in the hall. Compared to the first level, the number of people had decreased by dozens of times. The notification of mission completion immediately appeared in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. As expected, he obtained 400 evolution points. And for the first time, his evolution points broke through the 1,500 mark. ¡°Now I¡¯m a rich man.¡± Ye Fan thought. ¡°Congratulations on passing the test on the fifth floor.¡± Lian Yi appeared on the stone platform as usual. ¡°There are 47 testers left.¡± ¡°The sixth test is about to begin. Does anyone want to leave now?¡± After saying this, seven or eight people chose to leave without hesitation. ¡°At this rate, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll survive such a difficult challenge.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want this to go on.¡± Their words made more people waver. Soon, more than a third of the people were gone. Soon, there were only about 20 people left on the scene. Ye Fan took a look and saw that most of them had hesitant expressions. Clearly, they were also very worried about the next test. It was just that their greed for treasures had taken over them, so they chose to stay. As expected, greed was the original sin! Ye Fan sighed inwardly. If not for the fact that he had a large number of evolution points as his trump card, he would have chosen to leave without hesitation. It was really irrational to put yourself in danger for treasures. As time passed, everyone fell silent. No one chose to leave. Lian Yi continued, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s begin the test on the sixth floor.¡± Suddenly, she added, ¡°Good luck, everyone.¡± This last sentence made everyone feel inexplicably uneasy. Unfortunately, before they could say anything, she had already disappeared without a trace. A huge pressure suddenly descended in the hall. In an instant, the air in the entire hall froze, as if a thousand tons of rocks were pressing down on their hearts. Everyone felt suffocated. Whoosh! A deafening roar came from above. Everyone looked up in unison and saw a huge figure break through the darkness and dive down from the dome. The light in the hall illuminated its figure! It was an incomparably huge Black Dragon the size of a small mountain! Its slender neck was wide, its wings were black, and its body was smooth. Its dense black scales and incomparably sharp claws shone with a cold light. Every part of the dragon¡¯s body was like an exquisite piece of art. It perfectly explained what it meant to be beautiful and dangerous. Clearly, this was a pure Black Dragon. ¡°It¡¯s actually a Black Dragon!¡± A terrified voice sounded from the crowd. Pure-blooded dragon! Even a pure-blooded dragon in its infancy was at least at the sixth rank! And a dragon pet¡¯s combat strength was among the top among its peers! If the Black Dragon in front of them was the test of the seventh level, this was a nightmare for everyone. Soon, the Black Dragon gave an answer with its actions. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a thick white fog at everyone. The white fog instantly emitted a bone-chilling coldness in the small space. In a moment, more than ten pets, including their masters, were frozen into ice sculptures. The Black Dragon descended from the sky and pressed heavily on the ice sculptures. In an instant, all the ice sculptures were crushed into ice shards. The crowd instantly fell into panic. Many people¡¯s faces were filled with despair. ¡°It¡¯s actually a monster like the Black Dragon!¡± ¡°How can we defeat it? They¡¯re trying to torture us to death!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense and run.¡± Screams rose and fell. Ultimately, no one knew each other. Facing such a powerful enemy, everyone¡¯s thoughts were not to resist the enemy together. Instead, they wanted to quickly escape and distance themselves from the Black Dragon. At the same time, they prayed that this terrifying monster would not pay attention to them. Ye Fan was originally quite far from the Black Dragon. Seeing this situation, he didn¡¯t panic, but his expression also became solemn. Rank 6 Black Dragon. This test was simply torturing people to death. Even Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. A sixth-rank pet! It was almost two major ranks stronger than their highest-rank pet! Under such circumstances, the advantage of numbers had already been reduced to the lowest. Unless there were more than a hundred of them, it was impossible for a fourth-rank pet to defeat the Black Dragon. This was difficult! Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flickered. In the distance, the Black Dragon had already begun its massacre. With a swing of its tail, it spat out a dragon breath and wiped out a large group of people. In a short while, more than ten Beast Tamers were already wiped out. The number of people instantly decreased! The despair in the hall spread endlessly. ¡°What should we do?¡± In the corner, Pan Ting¡¯s face was pale as she looked at the Black Dragon in horror. She asked her cousins in fear. Zhang Yu and Zhang Xiao also looked desperate. The strength of a Rank-6 Black Dragon was too terrifying. It was not something they could resist at all. Not to mention that there were less than two digits of Beast Tamers left in the hall. They were probably going to die here today. If they had known that the Seven Demons Tower was so terrifying, they would not have come no matter what. Chapter 78 - 78 Hope 78 Hope Pan Ting saw the changes in her two cousins¡¯ expressions. She was only a young girl. When faced with death, she could not help but be afraid and her body kept trembling. For some reason, a figure flashed across Pan Ting¡¯s mind. She subconsciously searched the hall. Not long after, she found her target. To her surprise, that person was in a very secretive corner in a daze. ¡­ As for Ye Fan, he wasn¡¯t in a daze. He was very focused on browsing the system interface. If he wanted to defeat a Rank 6 Black Dragon, with his current strength, he could forget about it. That was simply courting death. The only way was to evolve pets. He did not think too much about it and directly targeted the Scorching Fire. After the battle just now, the growth of the Scorching Fire had already reached 90.6%. Ye Fan directly used 40 evolution points to increase the growth of the Scorching Fire to 100%. He had already prepared the corresponding evolution materials. He had also bought the low-level Fire Crystal before coming to the Seven Demons Tower. Now, everything was ready. He directly chose the information on the evolution interface. Inferno Fire, Intermediate Rank 4, Growth Progress 0%. High-level Fire Resistance, Flame Absorption, Fireball, Flame Breath, Self-destruction, Flame Technique, Flame Pillar. : The next stage of bloodline evolution is the Inferno Knight. Evolution to Inferno Knight requires 100% growth, one Fire Element Core, and five intermediate Fire Crystals. Intermediate Rank-4. Ye Fan revealed a shocked expression. Originally, he had thought that the Scorching Fire would at most be low-level Rank 4 after evolution. He did not expect it to soar to intermediate Rank 4. This was simply a pleasant surprise. As for the Intermediate Fire Resistance, it had also advanced to High-level Fire Resistance. Looking at the interface, Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction. After evolving, although the Scorching Fire¡¯s strength was not comparable to the Golden Sparrow, it was difficult for anyone of the same level to beat it. After all, it still had so many skills and talents. Because it had entered the resurrection state before evolution, the cooldown for Scorching Fire¡¯s resurrection was still 222 hours. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate to use 222 evolution points to revive it. Flames flashed, and the Scorching Fire appeared in front of Ye Fan. It was no longer as round as before. The Scorching Fire had already grown limbs and heads. Although the outline was very blurry, it already had a human form. Ignoring the flames all over its body, it looked like a child. Lulu¡­ The Inferno Fire cheered on the spot. It danced with joy, and its voice was not as ear-piercing as before. Its voice was like a child learning to speak. This sound instantly attracted the Black Dragon¡¯s attention. This behemoth flapped its wings and swooped down at Ye Fan. ¡°Go.¡± Ye Fan pointed at the Black Dragon. The Inferno Fire raised its head and let out a high-pitched cry, looking like it was rubbing its fists. ¡°Self-destruction.¡± The Inferno Fire was dumbfounded. Although its facial features couldn¡¯t be seen, it was clearly stunned. It looked at Ye Fan with incomparable shock. Ye Fan didn¡¯t have any expression as he continued to point in the Black Dragon¡¯s direction. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Even with the evolved Inferno Fire and the Golden Sparrow, they had no chance of winning against the Black Dragon. Even if the Hunter Fox also evolved, they still had no chance of winning. Right now, he could only use self-destruction to turn the situation around. Seeing that its master had made up his mind, the Inferno Fire¡¯s expression turned into one of grievance. However, it had no choice. It screamed and rushed towards the Black Dragon as if it was committing suicide. Under the shocked gazes of the survivors, the Inferno Fire rushed in front of the Black Dragon. It faced the Black Dragon¡¯s cold claws and rushed forward fiercely. Then, the Black Dragon suddenly clenched its sharp claws. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Everyone seemed to hear the sound of something being crushed. Disdain appeared in the Black Dragon¡¯s eyes. However, in the next moment, scorching flames exploded from his palm and expanded at a visible speed. It grew larger and larger, quickly turning into a small sun. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, the small sun suddenly exploded, and the surging flames suddenly erupted. The flames drowned the Black Dragon like a torrent. Scorching flames swept in all directions, and earth-shattering flames burned the entire hall. The gravel on the ceiling fell straight down, and the entire hall looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. No one paid attention to these details. They looked at the scene in front of them in a daze and felt their mouths go dry. Their heads were buzzing non-stop, and they could not come back to their senses for a long time. Chapter 79 - 79 Lian Yi’s True Body 79 Lian Yi¡¯s True Body Pan Ting opened her mouth wide. At this moment, her mouth could swallow an egg. She was truly too shocked. She had just been wondering what Ye Fan wanted to do, but in the blink of an eye, he had caused such a huge commotion. ¡°Tingting, is this the skill you mentioned?¡± Zhang Xiao stammered. Pan Ting nodded blankly. ¡°I guess so, but it wasn¡¯t so powerful before.¡± ¡°Moreover, that pet doesn¡¯t seem to be the same as before.¡± Pan Ting¡¯s mind was in a mess. She could not think at all. Zhang Xiao did not ask further. Instead, he looked at the center of the explosion in shock. Now, he only hoped that the Black Dragon would die in the explosion. Otherwise, they would still have to face death. The other survivors had the same thought. Without exception, they stared at the center of the hall. Among everyone, only Ye Fan was the calmest. The power of the self-explosion of the Scorching Fire before evolution was enough to pose a threat to Rank-5 and 6 creatures. After evolution, the power of the self-explosion would definitely increase greatly. Even if the Black Dragon was already as strong as a Rank-6, if it suffered such a powerful self-destruction at close range without any defense, even if it didn¡¯t die on the spot, it would suffer very serious damage. And reality was just as Ye Fan had imagined. After the dust dissipated, the Black Dragon¡¯s figure gradually appeared. Now, this pure-blooded Black Dragon was no longer as noble as before. Its entire body was covered in blood, and a large number of black scales dropped, revealing pitch-black flesh. The sharp claw that grabbed the Inferno Fire only had a pitch-black cut. It was in a very sorry state. Everyone could tell that the Black Dragon in front of them was already severely injured. The Black Dragon lay on the ground, letting out a weak roar. Its eyes were filled with hatred as it looked at Ye Fan. It struggled to get up from the ground. It wanted to kill this human who dared to plot to severely injure him! However, it did not have the strength to stand up again. Ye Fan naturally wouldn¡¯t give it a chance to catch its breath. He immediately had the Golden Sparrow attack. The Golden Sparrow, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed towards the Black Dragon fearlessly. The Black Dragon¡¯s tail and limbs were severely injured and it could not move at all. It opened its mouth and spat out dragon breath at the Golden Sparrow. Cold air spread and covered a wide area. The Golden Sparrow could not dodge it and collided with the cold air. Seeing this situation, Ye Fan directly used 100 evolution points to unlock the Golden Sparrow¡¯s basic ice element resistance talent. After doing all this, he looked up at the battlefield and happened to see the Golden Sparrow rush out against the cold. The surface of the bird was covered in a thick layer of frost, and its movements were much slower. However, it was not directly frozen into an ice sculpture like other pets. Clearly, basic ice element resistance had played a big role. Seeing that its remaining ultimate move could not defeat the enemy, despair finally appeared in the Black Dragon¡¯s huge eyes. It could only watch helplessly as the Golden Sparrow rushed in front of it. As the Golden Sparrow shot out hundreds of sharp feather swords, they sank into the Black Dragon¡¯s eyes. The Black Dragon¡¯s huge body trembled sparsely as if it had been electrocuted. In the end, under the second wave of the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attack, the Black Dragon was unable to resist. After struggling for a long time, it completely stopped breathing. The heavy feeling in everyone¡¯s hearts instantly disappeared. This change proved that the Black Dragon was dead. However, no one spoke anymore. Dead silence spread throughout the hall. The entire hall was so quiet that everyone could feel the breathing of the person beside them. They looked at the Black Dragon¡¯s corpse in a daze. The behemoth had killed the crowd and pets not long ago. The terrifying monster, which they had thought they could not resist at all, fell to the ground miserably. This dream-like unreality shocked everyone. Could it be resolved so easily? This thought appeared in everyone¡¯s minds at the same time. After an unknown period of time, someone gulped. This voice was very abrupt in the hall, which was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone woke up from their shock. With a swoosh, everyone¡¯s gazes turned to Ye Fan, their eyes filled with intense reverence. Originally, they thought that they would definitely die under the massacre of the Black Dragon. However, they did not expect such a person to appear at such a critical moment. He turned the tide like a god and killed the Black Dragon! The terrifying power of the explosion was still vivid in their minds! Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle! If it were them, they would probably be reduced to ashes by that power! There was no possibility of resisting! This young man was actually so powerful! ¡°This is too powerful, too monstrous.¡± Pan Ting couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. Her eyes were filled with worship as she looked at Ye Fan. Chapter 80 - 80 Harvest 80 Harvest The huge Black Dragon lay in the middle of the hall. The Golden Sparrow swayed back to Ye Fan¡¯s side. The sound of claws rubbing against the ground was very obvious in the quiet hall. As for the surviving Beast Tamers, they were still very shocked at this moment. No one said anything. Ye Fan didn¡¯t care about the situation at all. He opened the system interface and checked the status of the Inferno Fire. As its level increased, the cooldown for resurrection would be longer. The Inferno Fire now required 420 hours, which meant that it would take nearly 20 days to revive. Although the power of self-destruction had increased, the price was too high. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. He didn¡¯t know if he should be happy or depressed. However, no matter what, it was a good thing that the self-explosion was stronger. On the other hand, the reward for passing the sixth test was 600 evolution points. This caused Ye Fan¡¯s evolution points to immediately exceed 2,000. This was simply a huge harvest! Just as he was feeling happy, the environment suddenly changed. Everyone who came back to their senses instantly arrived at the sixth floor of the Seven Demons Tower. Lian Yi slowly appeared. ¡°Congratulations on passing the sixth test.¡± ¡°There are still seven testers left. Do you want to continue?¡± Everyone looked at each other. A moment later. ¡°I quit.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to challenge the last round anymore.¡± ¡°I think my life is more important than treasures.¡± Other than Ye Fan, the other six people all chose to leave. The Black Dragon on the sixth floor frightened everyone. If it came again, they could not guarantee that they would survive. Let¡¯s leave while we¡¯re still alive. At the last level, the terror in everyone¡¯s hearts finally outweighed greed. Lian Yi nodded expressionlessly, and everyone left one after another. Before leaving, Pan Ting glanced at Ye Fan, wanting to say something, but she didn¡¯t. She wanted to ask Ye Fan for his name, but thinking about how they all came from different places, even if she knew his name, she wouldn¡¯t be able to find him. They were destined not to interact! At the thought of this, she sadly gave up the thought of asking. Ye Fan didn¡¯t notice Pan Ting¡¯s hesitation. All his attention was on Lian Yi. After everyone left, Ye Fan said. ¡°Let¡¯s begin the last test.¡± However, Lian Yi suddenly disappeared from the stone platform. When she appeared again, she arrived in front of Ye Fan¡¯s body. She fixed her gaze on Ye Fan, a bright smile suddenly blossoming on her exquisite face. ¡°The test is over.¡± Seeing her smile, Ye Fan was startled for a moment before immediately understanding what she was saying. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Literally, the test is over.¡± Lian Yi shrugged, with a playful and cute gesture. ¡°There¡¯s still the seventh floor.¡± ¡°But I never said that there would be a test on every level. In fact, the test will only last until the sixth level. If you pass it, you¡¯ll pass the test.¡± ¡°Then why did you ask them if they wanted to continue?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t ask them if they wanted to continue the test.¡± Lian Yi winked at him. Ye Fan was speechless. From the first floor, Lian Yi looked as cold as ice, her actions cold. Her cold appearance was very in line with people¡¯s impression of a guardian. However, at this moment, Lian Yi had changed from her previous appearance. She was smiling, and her bright eyes flickered with a lively light. In an instant, she went from a cold lady to a playful big sister. This sudden change left Ye Fan unable to react. At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly remembered that the contents of the Lost Mystic Realm said that he had to pass the test of the Seven Demon Protectors, not clear the Seven Demons Tower. At that time, he hadn¡¯t understood what this meant. Now, he finally understood. Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. ¡°Then what¡¯s the meaning of the existence of the seventh floor?¡± Lian Yi was unexpectedly friendly to talk to. She didn¡¯t hide her smile. ¡°The test of the Seven Demons Tower is mainly divided into two types. The first type is what you just experienced, and the second type is located on the seventh level. That is the true test of the Seven Demons Tower.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan became excited. Lian Yi continued. ¡°But don¡¯t think too much. The second test is much harder than what you experienced.¡± ¡°If you want to challenge it, wait until you advance to Rank-6.¡± As she spoke, Lian Yi took out a golden card at some point and directly handed it to Ye Fan. ¡°This is the key to unlocking the second test.¡± ¡°When you feel that you have enough strength to challenge the second test, activate this key. The method is no different from before.¡± Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood. He took the card. It was similar to the card key from before, but the color had changed to gold. ¡°What about the reward for clearing the test? There¡¯s only one key card?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Lian Yi rolled eyes at him. For some reason, this guardian seemed to be very intimate with him, and Ye Fan inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to her. ¡°This is the real reward.¡± Chapter 81 - 81 Competition 81 Competition Lian Yi handed the three items to Ye Fan. The first was a stone that was as bright as flames. There was also a fruit that emitted an alluring fragrance and a very exquisite card. ¡°This fruit soul can greatly increase your soul power after you eat it.¡± Lian Yi pointed at the blue-black fruit and introduced. !! Then, she pointed at the strange stone. ¡°This is a very rare natural treasure of the fire attribute. After giving it to pets of the fire attribute, it can greatly increase their energy!¡± Ye Fan understood. There was no doubt that the former was for him to consume, and the stone was for the Inferno Fire. Just treat it as compensation for its continuous self-explosions. It wasn¡¯t the first time this guy had self-exploded after evolving. Even Ye Fan felt sorry for it. ¡°As for this summoning card, it contains a portion of my power. After using it, you can summon my projection to help you in battle. The duration is one hour, and it¡¯s about Rank 7.¡± Rank 7! Ye Fan¡¯s eyes instantly lit up again. He picked up the card and carefully examined it. He was speechless. This card was an image of Lian Yi, or it could be said to be a photo of her. It was a typical girl¡¯s photo with V-shaped fingers. The photo looked youthful and cute. Lian Yi blinked at him cutely and asked, ¡°Do I look beautiful?¡± Ye Fan wasn¡¯t a fool. He naturally knew what he should say at this time. ¡°Yes, you are beautiful.¡± However, he really felt that she looked good. Lian Yi, be it in terms of temperament or looks, were top-notch! ¡°Since you¡¯ve received the reward, you should leave. The rules here can¡¯t let you stay for long.¡± Lian Yi¡¯s smile faded. ¡°I hope I can see you one day for the second test.¡± Ye Fan put away his things and solemnly nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Ye Fan waved goodbye to her. The next second, a white light appeared again, and his entire vision was occupied. When he came back to his senses, Ye Fan found that he wasn¡¯t in the hall. Instead, he had returned to his house. The moonlight was still hazy, as if time had stopped at the moment he entered. Looking at the clock on the wall, less than half an hour had passed, but he felt that he had spent a long time in the Seven Demons Tower. The mystic realm was indeed magical. The speed of time was actually different. Ye Fan sighed. He took out the fruit soul and ate it. The fruit melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of ice that flowed to his limbs. He felt like he was wrapped in a cold current. This cold current surged into his limbs and meridians, making him feel comfortable. He opened his personal interface and was pleasantly surprised to discover that his soul power had actually soared to 10,000. After advancing to Rank 4, his soul power was only 2,000. This increase was four times. This was simply terrifying. It seemed that it would be more convenient to use soul techniques in the future. Ye Fan was very happy. Soul power was an important factor that affected the power and effects of soul techniques. Other than the degree of mastery of soul techniques and their type, the most important thing was soul power. Not to mention anything else, when using Soul Protection, the more soul power was injected, the stronger the defense. As for Ye Fan, he currently had as much as 10,000 soul power. Coupled with the defensive energy released by the high-level Soul Protection, he wouldn¡¯t have any opponents at the same level. Ordinary low-level pets of the fourth rank would have to attack for half an hour to break through his Soul Protection. Feeling the changes in his soul power, Ye Fan gave the Fire Origin Stone to the Raging Flame. The information on the Inferno Fire immediately changed. The level of the Inferno Fire had increased from intermediate Rank 4 to the peak of Rank 4. ¡°Two small levels. It¡¯s indeed good stuff.¡± Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction. After advancing, the Inferno Fire¡¯s battle power was no longer inferior to the Golden Sparrow¡¯s. Suddenly, he thought of something that he almost forgot! The talents and skills of Inferno Fire had been updated! Ye Fan landed on the new skill column. Talents to be Unlocked Flame When fatally injured, a small amount of energy will condense into flames to preserve the final vitality of the main body. As time passes, the main body will gradually recover. Sacrificing fire-elemental energy can shorten the time of resurrection. Without this talent, it can only be used every 30 days. Unlocking requires 300 evolution points Skills to be Unlocked Inferno Assault: Advanced Flame Assault skill. Concentrate all the flames around you and launch a long-range attack on an object. The damage dealt to the target will be accompanied by scorching flames. Unlocking requires 200 evolution points. Inferno Domain Released fire elements to form a domain in an area with a diameter of less than 50 meters. In this area, the main body¡¯s attack power and movement speed would increase by 20%. All creatures in this area would suffer continuous fire attacks. Unlocking requires 300 evolution points. After carefully browsing through it, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He had seen the power of the Flame Assault. It was very powerful. When the third-rank Scorching Fire used it, it could already instantly kill a third-rank pet. Moreover, it had already advanced to Inferno Fire. After the skill advanced to Inferno Assault, its power would probably be even more unexpected. A domain skill like the Inferno Domain surprised him even more. While dealing continuous damage to the other party, it could also continuously increase its own energy. This was equivalent to being invincible in this domain! Chapter 82 - 82 Academy Tournament 82 Academy Tournament Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate at all to directly unlock all three skills and talents. After doing everything, he summoned the Hunter Fox. Now, the Inferno Fire and the Golden Sparrow had already broken through to Rank 4. Only the Hunter Fox was left. Its growth was 30.35%. It was still a long time before it reached 100%. It seemed that he had to let the Hunter Fox kill more monsters. If not for the fact that it was an extremely critical moment, Ye Fan wouldn¡¯t have wasted his precious evolution points on increasing the pets¡¯ growth. Thinking about how he had wasted so many evolution points to increase their growth, he felt a little pained. !! After thinking about all of this, he heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, he felt tired. Although he was not injured in the Seven Demons Tower, the intense battle had exhausted him. Feeling tired, he did not resist. After washing up, he returned to the bedroom to sleep. The next morning, Ye Fan was woken up by the sound of his phone. He opened it and saw that messages kept popping up in the Rose Society chat group. He roughly read through it and realized that it was about the Inter-academy Tournament. The time for the competition had been set. It was next week. The registration deadline was three days later. In order to obtain more evolution points, Ye Fan wouldn¡¯t let go of this opportunity. After breakfast, he went straight to the Academic Affairs Office. After registering, Ye Fan left the city to kill monsters and level up. In the following time, Ye Fan spent all his time killing monsters, mainly to increase the Hunter Fox¡¯s growth. The Golden Sparrow and the Inferno Fire also increased their growth. As their level increased, it became harder and harder to find a place to level up. The higher the level, the fewer magical beasts there were. It was impossible for them to gather together like low-level magical beasts. It was fine for those below Rank-4. There were a large number of Rank-2 and 3 Magical Beasts in the Endless Forest. However, pets above the fourth rank rarely appeared on a large scale. Therefore, the higher the level, the harder it was for pets to grow. However, Ye Fan had the golden finger of evolution points, so he wasn¡¯t that worried. As time passed, the day of the Inter-academy Tournament arrived. The home ground of the competition was set on the largest central field of West Eagle Academy. When Ye Fan arrived at the field, there were already many people inside. The auditorium, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was filled to the brim with noise. ¡°So many people.¡± Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°After all, it¡¯s the annual competition.¡± The voice came from behind him. Ye Fan turned around. Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya looked at him with smiles. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er were beside them. Everyone from the Rose Society had already arrived. Xiao Qiuya explained to him. ¡°Everyone can come and watch the competition.¡± ¡°Only a small portion of the audience are students. Most of them are off-campus personnel.¡± ¡°There are also people from the various factions and hunter teams inside.¡± ¡°Their goal is usually those third-year students who perform well. They will interact with and rope in any student they like.¡± Ye Fan suddenly understood and nodded. The fourth-year students had basically already chosen their organizations. It was too late to recruit them. However, most third-year students were independent. They were very valuable. Xu Menghan continued, ¡°It¡¯s said that there are seven or eight hundred more students registering for the competition this year.¡± ¡°Even first-year students have dozens of applicants.¡± Chen Xin stuck out her tongue in surprise. ¡°There are so many people.¡± ¡°Indeed, the rewards this year are much more generous than in previous years. There are rewards for entering the top five in the academy.¡± ¡°The champion¡¯s prize is even most tempting.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Ye Fan was a bit curious. ¡°100,000 credit points and a Rank-4 pet with a potential of at least Rank-7. Its attribute is up to the champion to choose.¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya exclaimed. Clearly, this was the first time they had seen such a generous prize. Not to mention 100,000 credit points, even people born in Beast Tamer families could not take out so many credit points at once. However, the most attractive thing was the reward of pet. The upper limit of the seventh rank was very outstanding potential. Such pets could only be chanced upon by luck. Even the usually calm Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard the reward. It could be seen that it was very attractive. Among the five of them, only Ye Fan was relatively calm. After all, he already had three pets whose potential had reached the King rank. The upper limit of the potential of the pet to be rewarded could only reach the seventh rank. Naturally, he didn¡¯t think much of it. Unfortunately, he hadn¡¯t found any pets to contract recently. After advancing to the fourth rank, Ye Fan had another contract slot. He went to more than ten pet shops, but he couldn¡¯t find a suitable target. There were many pets with hidden evolution paths, but almost none with high potential. The best one¡¯s potential was only at Rank 8. It could not compare to the Golden Sparrow and the Hunter Fox at all. Thus, Ye Fan could only put this matter aside and wait for the tournament to finish before looking for it. As they spoke, the few of them had already arrived at the participants¡¯ waiting area. They found a place to sit down. Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya immediately occupied the two seats to Ye Fan¡¯s left and right. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er sat on the other side of Xiao Qiuya. The four girls gathered together and chatted. It was very lively. Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya didn¡¯t hide their affection for Ye Fan at all. The boys on the side were envious and jealous. Chapter 83 - 83 Who Is He? 83 Who Is He? ¡°This kid is really lucky to have so many beauties by himself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. Where did he come from?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know about the Rose Society?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of the Rose Society, but I heard that there are only girls in the Rose Society, right?¡± ¡°Your information is too outdated. Not long ago, they recruited a boy. Yes, that¡¯s the person sitting over there.¡± !! ¡°Damn, isn¡¯t that one person occupying all the beauties in the entire society?¡± Many boys¡¯ eyes turned red when they heard this. The Rose Society was a famous beauty society. Its members were all as beautiful as angels. Now, they suddenly recruited a boy. This was like a sheep entering a tiger¡¯s den. It was simply enviable. In an instant, countless gazes shot at Ye Fan like sharp swords. If looks could kill, Ye Fan would have already died countless times. However, he pretended not to see the gazes around him. Xiao Qiuya and the others chatted. ¡°There are more than 700 participants this time. In the two qualifiers, plus the draw bye, nearly two-thirds of the participants will be eliminated. The remaining 300 will enter the official competition.¡± Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood. The mission announcement sounded in his mind. ¡°Beep, mission issued!¡± Securing Championship. Win the top in the school tournament. Completing the mission will earn you 1,000 evolution points. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows. As expected, this kind of competition definitely had a corresponding mission. 1,000 evolution points was not a bad number! If he used it well, it would be enough to increase his strength by a small level. He took a light breath and suppressed the joy in his heart. He looked up at the field. More than ten arenas had been built on the wide field. The qualifiers had already started for a while, and more than ten matches were being held at the same time. ¡°Ah Fan, it¡¯ll be your turn soon.¡± Chen Xin said from the side. Ye Fan nodded and looked at the number in his hand. When the staff called his number, he directly stood up and went to the arena. At this time, a tall and thin youth with a confident expression appeared on the other side of the arena. ¡°Hello.¡± The tall and thin young man greeted him kindly. ¡°Hello, Senior Brother.¡± Ye Fan also smiled in response. It was obvious that the other party was not a first-year student. The aura of an old fox was very obvious. If he was a first-year student, he would be so calm to see Ye Fan. There was no first-year student who did not know him. Hearing Ye Fan call him that, the youth was startled for a moment before joy appeared on his face. ¡°Are you a first-year student?¡± ¡°Yes, it is.¡± When the young man heard this, he was very happy. He did not expect his luck to be so good today. He had actually met a new student. He would definitely pass the qualifiers. With this joy, the young man¡¯s words became casual. ¡°Just treat it as accumulating experience. Don¡¯t be too nervous. It¡¯s fine even if you lose.¡± ¡°You can come again next year. You¡¯ll definitely get good results next year.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you lose too badly later.¡± The young man spoke as if he could already see his victory. Ye Fan smiled and replied, ¡°I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Senior.¡± The young man waved his hand generously. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± He did not notice the strange expressions of the surrounding students. These people all knew of Ye Fan, the super genius who had destroyed the measuring instrument! King of Freshmen! An expert who could fight five people at once! Every battle result was very eye-catching. If they really treated Ye Fan as an ordinary first-year student, then they really didn¡¯t know how they had lost! Clearly, this second-year student didn¡¯t know him at all. The tall and thin young man did not notice the surrounding gazes at all. After educating the new student, he was very confident and his chest involuntarily puffed up. At this moment, a countdown appeared on the electronic screen at the edge of the arena. The moment the countdown reached zero, the youth and Ye Fan simultaneously summoned their pet beasts. The pet summoned by the young man was a Shark Beast at the intermediate level of the second rank. After summoning it, the youth proudly looked at Ye Fan. He had two pet beasts. It had only been two months since school started. Most of the first-year students were only Rank-1 Beast Tamers. Just a Shark Beast was enough to defeat the first-year students. However, with a look, the young man was stunned on the spot. The other party had summoned a pet that looked like a fox. As soon as the Hunter Fox came out, it directly jumped onto Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder and rubbed its face against his. It was extremely close to him. This cute appearance attracted the attention of many girls. ¡°Wow, so cute.¡± ¡°Its fur is so bright. What kind of pet is this?¡± ¡°I really want to touch him.¡± Screams continuously sounded in the spectator area. Ye Fan was already used to others screaming at the Hunter Fox. The Hunter Fox had charming talent, so it was very popular everywhere, especially for girls. Its cute appearance was undoubtedly a lethal weapon. Chapter 84 - 84 Bitter Young Man 84 Bitter Young Man Even the four girls from the Rose Society liked the Hunter Fox very much. They loved to hug and touch it. Hearing the screams from all directions, the young man was very jealous. That Hunter Fox Beast was really cute, but his Shark Beast was so ugly! Really, why was his pet so cute and beautiful?! With jealousy, he ruthlessly gave the Shark Beast the order to attack. So what if it was good-looking? Strength was the most important! The final winner would definitely be me! !! ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Ye Fan gently patted the Hunter Fox¡¯s head. He pointed at the pet opposite him. The fox hunter chirped twice and jumped down from his shoulder. It elegantly walked towards the other side. It was not until the Shark Beast rushed in front of it that the Hunter Fox raised its head and let out a cry. In an instant, a small blue lightning fire condensed in the void. The lightning fire spun in the air and circled again. Then, it shot towards the Shark Beast like an arrow leaving the bow. Its speed was extremely fast, and the Shark Beast could not dodge at all. It was directly hit by the thunder fire. A lightning ball instantly appeared in the arena. Soon, the Shark Beast was electrocuted into ashes with a wail and floated in the wind. The young man looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, his expression as if he had seen a ghost. The Shark Beast was a second-rank pet! It was instantly killed just like that. What happened? The Hunter Fox glanced at the young man smugly. The young man felt that this Hunter Fox seemed to be mocking him. He felt that he had suffered a serious blow. He directly summoned the second pet. With a flash of light, a merman covered in scales and holding a steel fork appeared in the arena. The merman was a high-level pet of the second rank and was stronger than the Shark Beast. The merman waved his sharp knife and fork and charged at the Hunter Fox. The Hunter Fox was not afraid at all. Lightning balls appeared in the air again, flashing with dense lightning. The lightning balls gradually expanded, turning into palm-sized lightning blades that flew over like a gust of wind, instantly drowning the charging merman. This time, the lightning balls were like a meat grinder. The rustling sound was especially obvious in the arena. A thick blood mist appeared in the void, bright red and dazzling. When the lightning balls dissipated, the merman disappeared without a trace. Not even a drop of blood was left! It was instantly killed again! The young man was completely shocked. He could not come back to his senses no matter what, and the audience was also very shocked as they discussed. ¡°He won too easily.¡± ¡°This is too amazing.¡± ¡°His opponent is a second-year student.¡± Many people looked at Ye Fan with shock. Most of the people in the audience were outsiders. They didn¡¯t know Ye Fan¡¯s identity. They only knew that he was only a first-year student, so they were very surprised by the outcome of this competition. Most of them thought that Ye Fan would definitely lose when they saw that his opponent was a second-year student. After all, most of the first-year students¡¯ strength at this stage was only at Rank 1. On the other hand, as long as the second-year students were not slacking off, most of them could reach the second rank. The difference of one rank not only meant the difference in pet rank, but also the difference in the number of pets. With such a huge difference in strength, the outcome was obvious. However, they did not expect the outcome to be different from what they had expected. Not only did this new student win, but he also won without any effort. ¡°Are all the first-year students of West Eagle Academy so fierce this year?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think any of the new students won in the other competitions.¡± ¡°Then who is this person?¡± ¡°Sigh, you don¡¯t know this. This is our school¡¯s top student this year.¡± ¡°Is the Freshman King that strong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I remember that the merman was a Rank-2. It was instantly killed just like that?¡± ¡°That fox is at least Rank 3, right?¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s a Rank-3? There¡¯s more than one Rank-3 Beast Tamer who was defeated Ye Fan.¡± ¡°Hey, tell me in detail.¡± Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised and asked. Not long after, waves of exclamations came from the audience. Clearly, they had already learned from the others how shocking Ye Fan¡¯s performance in the society battles had been. A first-year student had easily won against a third-year student! No matter how they heard it, it didn¡¯t sound real! That was why they were so surprised. Hearing praise for Ye Fan coming from all directions, Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya were very happy, as if they were being praised. Chapter 85 - 85 Fourth-Year Student of Heart Society 85 Fourth-Year Student of Heart Society Ye Fan ignored everyone¡¯s praise. He calmly walked down the arena and returned to the waiting area. Chen Xin, Xiao Qiuya, and the others were ranked last. After a while, the four of them went on stage one after another. More than ten arenas were used in turns. The competition progressed very quickly. The qualifiers ended at noon. There was no need to mention Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er, the two third-year students. Xiao Qiuya was an elite second-year student to begin with. Her strength was enough to rank in the top five of the entire grade. It was very easy for them to pass the qualifiers. Chen Xin had also broken through to Rank 2 not long ago. In terms of strength, she could compare to most second-year students. Although the entire process was a little strenuous, she still passed the qualifiers without any mishaps. Thus, including Ye Fan, all five members of the Rose Society advanced. ¡°The official competition starts in the afternoon. I¡¯ve asked around.¡± After lunch, they went to the field early to wait. ¡°I¡¯ve asked around. Among the 300 people in the official competition, only Ye Fan and Chen Xin are first-year students.¡± ¡°There are more than ten second-year students, and the rest are all in the third or fourth grade.¡± As they walked to the waiting area, Xiao Qiuya described the situation she had asked around. The others were not too surprised to hear this. Rank-2 was only the threshold. Unless the students below Rank-2 happened to be opponents of first-year students, it was impossible for them to pass the qualifiers. After all, any second-year student could defeat them. As for elite first-year students like Chen Xin, who had advanced to Rank-2, as long as their luck wasn¡¯t too bad, they had a chance of advancing if they didn¡¯t encounter third- or fourth-year students or second-year elite students. Of course, a monstrous genius like Ye Fan was naturally not among them! With Ye Fan¡¯s strength, he didn¡¯t need to be afraid of second- or third-year students at all. The only thing he needed to worry about was the fourth-year students. Most of them were Rank-4 Beast Tamers. Xiao Qiuya analyzed seriously. ¡°The fourth-year students are generally very strong and have been training outside the school for a long time.¡± ¡°They have experienced countless battles and have a lot of combat experience.¡± Compared to them, the other three grades were like flowers in a greenhouse that could not be blown by the wind or drenched by the rain. ¡°To encounter such an opponent, even you, Ye Fan, have to be extremely careful.¡± Hearing her words, Ye Fan only smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. The few of them were chatting when they noticed a group of people walking towards them from the corner of their eyes. Those people were not very friendly. The leader was a very tall young man, and there were many people behind him. Upon closer inspection, they were familiar faces. Guo Qi, Cao Wuji, and Li Weiping, from Heart Society! ¡°Junior Sister Menghan, it¡¯s been a long time since we last met.¡± The young man at the front greeted Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er with a warm smile. ¡°Long time no see, Senior Xue Shan.¡± Xu Menghan replied indifferently. Su Wan¡¯er only nodded without saying anything. Their reactions were very calm. Glancing at Guo Qi and the others standing behind that person, Ye Fan more or less understood. Clearly, this young man called Xue Shan should be the fourth-year senior of the Heart Society. Although these society members had already left the society, their relationship with the society was still not ordinary. Xue Shan seemed to be used to Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s coldness. He did not say anything. Instead, he smiled and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Shen Miao? Why isn¡¯t she here?¡± ¡°Senior Sister Shen Miao has already left.¡± Xue Shan nodded. Only now did he seem to notice Ye Fan¡¯s existence and look at him. ¡°This must be Junior Brother Ye Fan.¡± Ye Fan expressionlessly glanced at Guo Qi, not saying anything. The meaning was very obvious. How could Guo Qi and the others not have told you about me? Seeing him like this, Xue Shan¡¯s face twitched slightly, but he endured it and spoke to him. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Junior Brother Ye Fan¡¯s talent is outstanding. Even Junior Brother Guo Qi and the others lost to you. If there¡¯s a chance in this competition, I hope I can compete with you.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t cower. He directly replied, ¡°No problem, if you can last until the end.¡± To Guo Qi and the others, these words sounded like he was looking down on them. Their expressions changed slightly. Cao Wuji sneered. He was just about to mock him, but when his gaze met Ye Fan¡¯s, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn¡¯t say anything. Xue Shan¡¯s eyes were filled with fear, and the smile on his face faded. ¡°Confidence is a good thing. I hope Junior Brother Ye Fan¡¯s strength matches your confidence.¡± After saying this, Xue Shan left without looking back. The members of the Heart Society hurriedly followed. ¡°I knew this guy wasn¡¯t up to anything good. He came to cause trouble.¡± Xiao Qiuya stared at their backs and sneered. Chen Xin revealed a worried expression. ¡°Xue Shan and the others are all in the fourth grade.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Menghan answered. ¡°Xue Shan is the previous president of Heart Society. The other fourth-year students are also old people from Heart Society.¡± When Chen Xin heard this, she became even more worried. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be bad if we meet them in the competition?¡± Ye Fan smiled and comforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t be so easy to meet him.¡± However, he did not take it seriously at all. If he could defeat them once, he could defeat them a second time! Soon, they threw this matter to the back of their minds and focused on the upcoming competition. After walking far away, Xue Shan¡¯s expression suddenly darkened. The fourth-year students beside him also had an ugly expression. Cao Wuji snorted. ¡°That kid is really arrogant. How can a mere first-year student be so arrogant?¡± ¡°Look at him just now. He didn¡¯t even take Brother Shan seriously. I wonder who gave him the confidence.¡± ¡°No matter what, we have to take revenge for the Rose Society snatching away our resources!¡± The few fourth-year students said with gloomy expressions. Chapter 86 - 86 Advancement Tournament 86 Advancement Tournament If not for the sake of participating in the school tournament, they would still be training outside the school. In the end, as soon as they returned, they heard that Heart Society had been defeated by Rose Society. Half of the society¡¯s resources had been snatched away. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood. The relationship between the Rose Society and the Heart Society had always been bad. Even the fourth-year students who had left the societies did not like each other. It could be said that the grudge between the two sides was deep. This time, because the failure, they had lost all their face. They couldn¡¯t swallow this anger, so they had deliberately found fault with him today. As long as they defeated that brat Ye Fan in the Inter-academy Tournament, their reputation would be much better. This was their main goal. His companions vented the anger in their hearts. Xue Shan interrupted them and looked at Guo Qi and the others. ¡°Although this Ye Fan has some strength, it¡¯s only so-so. He probably won¡¯t be able to reach the finals.¡± ¡°We most likely won¡¯t meet him. The key is you guys.¡± Everyone nodded. There were a total of three hundred people in the advancement competition. Among so many people, the probability of them meeting Ye Fan was indeed not very high. Unless Ye Fan could advance to the next round or the semi-finals. This way, the probability of both sides encountering each other would be higher, but everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible. Although Ye Fan could defeat Guo Qi and Lin Weiping, Guo Qi and Lin Weiping were only third-year students. Most of the students in the tournament were fourth-year students. No matter how outstanding Ye Fan was, it was impossible for him to enter the next few rounds. It was already overestimating him if they thought he could advance to the top 64. ¡°No matter what, if you encounter Ye Fan, are you confident in defeating him?¡± Xue Shan looked at Lin Weiping and Guo Qi expressionlessly. The two of them quickly nodded, puffed out their chests, and vowed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior. We¡¯ve been training hard recently and our strength has increased a lot.¡± After the society battle, Lin Weiping and Guo Qi risked their lives to train. Their strength had also increased a lot. They wanted to avenge their previous humiliation! Especially Guo Qi. He successfully evolved a pet to the fourth rank before the competition! He had stepped into the threshold of the fourth rank! In terms of strength, Guo Qi could be ranked in the top five in the entire third year. If he faced Ye Fan again, he was completely confident that he could defeat him. Seeing how confident Lin Weiping and Guo Qi were, Xue Shan nodded in satisfaction. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. There were many powerful enemies in this competition. Duan Qingqing, Wang Feng, Zhou Li, and the others were the favorites to win the championship. Not to mention that there were also powerful opponents like Shen Miao. If he wanted to get first place from these people, it would not be easy. He had to recuperate well. In comparison, although that Ye Fan was very infuriating, his strength was too weak to waste his attention. He could just leave him to Guo Qi and the others to deal with. He was just a first-year student. Xue Shan quickly threw Ye Fan to the back of his mind. In the afternoon, the first round of the competition officially began. The competition was still a random one-on-one fight by drawing lots. Ten minutes ago, the battle list had already been released. Chen Xin sat next to Ye Fan and used her phone to check who everyone¡¯s opponent was. ¡°Senior Sister Menghan is in the 65th match. Senior Sister Qiuya is the 78th. Your opponents are both third-year students, while Senior Sister Wan¡¯er is in the 24th match. Her opponent is also a third-year student.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in the 98th match. My opponent is a third-year student.¡± When Chen Xin saw this, her face fell. The third-year students were already at the third rank. With her strength, it was almost impossible for her to win. However, Chen Xin quickly threw this thought to the back of her mind. She searched for Ye Fan¡¯s match and opponent. ¡°Ah Fan is in the 30th match. Sigh, Cao Wuji.¡± Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were both amused. Ye Fan was also a bit surprised. They had just had a conflict with the Heart Society, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had met. It really was a small world! ¡°Coincidentally, Ah Fan will satisfy their desire to spar.¡± Xu Menghan smiled coldly. The others also smiled. With Ye Fan¡¯s strength, defeating Cao Wuji was simply too easy. Xiao Qiuya said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t be too careless. Cao Wuji is one of the top ten elite students of the second year. He¡¯s been training recently. I heard that he recently advanced to the third rank. He¡¯s definitely different from before. Junior Brother Ye Fan, you have to be careful.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Ye Fan looked at the arena and nodded. Not long after, it was Ye Fan¡¯s turn. On the arena, Cao Wuji¡¯s expression was very heavy when he saw Ye Fan expressionlessly walking towards him. He had never imagined that he would encounter Ye Fan in the first round of the official competition. Although he had improved quite a bit during this period of time and had even broken through to the third rank, Cao Wuji knew very well that he was still not Ye Fan¡¯s match. Back in the society battle, the two members of the Heart Society were also Rank-3 Beast Tamers. They were many times stronger than him, but they still lost to Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s current strength was definitely much greater than before. Chapter 87 - 87 Bet 87 Bet Thinking that his journey in the competition was about to end, Cao Wuji felt very bitter. If it was before, he would not have had any thoughts about the school tournament. However, ever since he advanced to Rank 3, his mind had become active. With his level as a Rank-3 Beast Tamer, it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to enter the top 64 if he was lucky. As long as he wasn¡¯t especially unlucky to encounter a fourth-year student, there was still a high chance. However, while he didn¡¯t run into a fourth-year student, he had bumped into Ye Fan. It seemed that his dream of entering the top 64 was about to end. Cao Wuji was extremely unwilling, his expression constantly changing. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. Gritting his teeth, he asked Ye Fan, ¡°Ye Fan, do you dare to make a bet with me?¡± Ye Fan had just stood on the arena. Hearing this, he was a bit stunned. He looked him up and down, not understanding what he was up to. ¡°On what?¡± But he asked. ¡°In this competition, you can only summon one pet to fight me. If you win, I¡¯ll give you 50,000 credit points.¡± ¡°If you lose, I don¡¯t want anything from you. Do you dare to bet, Ye Fan?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s expression became strange. Even the referee¡¯s expression was a bit strange when he heard this. The nearby audience booed. ¡°F*ck, are you shameless? A second-year student is actually making such a request against a first-year student!¡± ¡°How shameless.¡± Hearing the disdainful voices coming from the surroundings, although Cao Wuji¡¯s expression was unsightly, he had no intention of taking back his words. Instead, he provocatively stared at Ye Fan. Ye Fan helplessly shook his head and laughed. He glanced at the judge beside him. ¡°Is this kind of bet okay?¡± The referee thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°There are no explicit rules. It¡¯s fine as long as both parties agree.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded and looked at Cao Wuji. ¡°I accept your proposal.¡± Since someone was rushing to give him money, why not? Cao Wuji suddenly thought of something and added, ¡°You can¡¯t summon your Cute Sparrow. You can only use other pets.¡± He had a very deep impression of Ye Fan¡¯s Cute Sparrow. It could easily kill a Rank-3 pet beast. It was unbelievably powerful! He felt that he was no match for that pet. He would definitely eliminate it first! Cao Wuji¡¯s request aroused even more ridicule. Cao Wuji stared at Ye Fan as if he couldn¡¯t hear anything. Ye Fan smiled. ¡°How about this? I won¡¯t summon a pet to fight you. If I win, you¡¯ll pay me 100,000 credit points. How about that?¡± As soon as he said this, not only was Cao Wuji stunned on the spot, but the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Dead silence! Everyone looked at Ye Fan, their faces filled with disbelief! ¡°What¡¯s the point of fighting if you don¡¯t summon your pet?¡± ¡°If a Beast Tamer doesn¡¯t summon pets, are you still a Beast Tamer?¡± When they came back to their senses, the audience suddenly became noisy! ¡°This first-year student actually said that he won¡¯t summon pets. Is he crazy?¡± ¡°How can he fight without a pet? Does he want to fight with soul power alone?¡± ¡°Soul power is only a method to assist pets in battle. How can anyone rely on soul power to directly fight another Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°This is too arrogant.¡± The four girls from the Rose Society in the waiting area were also very surprised. ¡°Ah Fan, what are you thinking? Why did you propose such a thing? A bet?¡± ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya looked worried. Even Su Wan¡¯er frowned. She didn¡¯t understand Ye Fan¡¯s actions. Originally, with Ye Fan¡¯s strength, defeating Cao Wuji was simply easy. Even if he didn¡¯t use the Cute Sparrow, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to win the competition. However, not using pets to fight was too unimaginable. Most of the power of a Beast Tamer came from pets. Soul techniques were only supplementary means of combat. They could not be used to directly fight enemies. No matter how monstrous Ye Fan was, it was impossible for him to defeat a Rank-3 Beast Tamer without summoning a pet. If it was an experienced Beast Tamer who was proficient in soul techniques, it might be possible. What was wrong with Ye Fan to make such an unbelievable decision? Xu Menghan looked at Ye Fan on the stage in confusion. Compared to the others, Cao Wuji was overjoyed. He reacted and laughed. ¡°Alright, you said it yourself. As long as you can win this competition without a pet, I¡¯ll pay you 100,000 credit points.¡± Cao Wuji had completely not expected Ye Fan to not only agree to his request, but also take the initiative to say that he didn¡¯t need a pet beast. This was simply a pleasant surprise! I don¡¯t know what this guy is thinking. He actually made such a request. I¡¯m definitely going to win this match! Cao Wuji was extremely excited and quickly urged the referee to begin, as if he was afraid that Ye Fan would regret it. The referee looked at Ye Fan and sighed in his heart. Young people were still too arrogant! The referee didn¡¯t say anything. The countdown appeared on the screen. Seeing this, Cao Wuji let out a sigh of relief. Ye Fan didn¡¯t have a chance to go back on his word. Cao Wuji sneered at Ye Fan, his eyes shining with a fierce light. He definitely had to teach him a good lesson! This guy was actually so arrogant! Seeing his expression, Ye Fan smiled, a profound expression appearing on his face. Then, he summoned the system interface. Chapter 88 - 88 Soul Techniques 88 Soul Techniques Soul Power Impact Lv2 (0-40), Guardian Soul Lv2 (0-100), Soul Lock Lv2 (0-40). Without any hesitation, Ye Fan directly raised all three soul techniques to Level 5, using a total of 500 evolution points! In an instant, the information on the interface changed! Soul Power Impact Lv5 (0-200), Soul Lock Lv5 (0-200), Guardian Soul Lv5 (50-200) !! At the same time, the countdown on the screen ended. Cao Wuji immediately summoned three pets. Clay Sculpture, Peak Rank 2. Blood Warrior, Intermediate Rank 3. Giant Lizard, Low-level Rank 3. The three pet beasts attacked Ye Fan from all directions, clearly wanting to make it impossible for Ye Fan to take care of every direction. ¡°I want to see what you¡¯re going to do this time.¡± Cao Wuji revealed a complacent expression as he stared at Ye Fan. He was looking forward to seeing Ye Fan fail. However, facing such ferocious pets, Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all. He calmly mobilized his soul power and cast a Guardian Soul on himself. A hazy light instantly enveloped his entire body. On the surface, the five floating shields were shining with patterns. Afterwards, Ye Fan pointed at the incoming Clay Sculpture, and soul power fluctuations quickly spread. Invisible soul power compressed into a spiral, and the impact swept out like a storm, blasting towards the Clay Sculpture. Wherever it passed, it left obvious traces of void distortion. Under countless shocked gazes, the Clay Sculpture seemed to have touched something heavy. With a bang, it flew high into the air and fell heavily to the ground. In the air, with cracking sounds, many dense cracks appeared on the Clay Sculpture. Before it landed, the earth-type pet, which had always been famous for its strong defense, directly turned into flying rocks in the air and scattered to the ground. For a moment, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock. It was as if they were being strangled by an invisible hand. They couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Cao Wuji looked at the rubble on the ground. He had not recovered from the shock of the Clay Sculpture being instantly killed. That was a pet at the peak of the second rank. It was actually instantly killed by his soul power? The audience burst into screams. ¡°Really? Am I not awake today?¡± ¡°The Clay Sculpture was directly killed. How did he do it?¡± ¡°This is too awesome. Is this true?¡± If they hadn¡¯t seen everything with their own eyes, no one would have believed what they were seeing. A first-year student had actually instantly killed a pet at the peak of the second rank with just one move of soul power. This was simply unimaginable. Not to mention first-year students, even fourth-year students could not do such a thing. The soul power released by most fourth-year students was already very powerful if it could injure a pet at the peak of the second rank. If not for this, soul power would definitely not only be used as a support method in battle. However, the power of this Soul Power Impact was so terrifying! Suddenly, someone noticed the abnormality on Ye Fan¡¯s body and instantly fell silent. ¡°Look, look at the Guardian Soul on his body. There seem to be five shield runes!¡± After this shout, everyone narrowed their eyes and looked carefully. Suddenly, their eyes widened. ¡°Oh my god, I only have one Guardian Soul!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. How did he do it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated for more than two years and only have two runes. This is too awesome!¡± ¡°Comparisons are simply infuriating!¡± Surprises rang out incessantly. Not only the Soul Power Impact, but even the Guardian Soul could be cultivated to such a high level. This made everyone fall into deep shock. Quite a few fourth-year students looked at Ye Fan with intense shock. It had to be known that they had cultivated for such a long time and only had three runes for the Guardian Soul. Now, this first-year student had actually left them far behind. This was simply unimaginable. The four girls from the Rose Society were the most shocked. ¡°Why didn¡¯t we know that Ye Fan actually had such a trick up his sleeve? No wonder Ah Fan dared to agree to Cao Wuji¡¯s request. This guy really is hiding his strength!¡± Xiao Qiuya couldn¡¯t help but complain after recovering from her shock. Although her tone was complaining, she was still very happy. Her gaze towards Ye Fan became even more fiery. Chen Xin was equally shocked. When Xu Menghan saw this, the two of them secretly sighed. The two junior sisters were clearly mesmerized by Ye Fan. However, it wasn¡¯t strange. Junior Brother Ye Fan was so outstanding. He was simply the most outstanding person she had ever seen. Even she couldn¡¯t help but feel excited¡­ ¡°What are you thinking about!¡± Xu Menghan suddenly came back to her senses and cursed herself. At this moment, Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s calm voice sounded. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be happy too early. There are still two third-rank pets.¡± Only then did Chen Xin and the other two react. They hurriedly saw the arena. The Giant Lizard and the Blood Warrior were clearly frightened by the Soul Power Impact just now. At this moment, they were a little stunned and stopped charging forward. Chapter 89 - 89 Crushing Defeat 89 Crushing Defeat Cao Wuji frowned in anger when he saw them like this. He immediately shouted angrily, ¡°Hurry up and charge! What are you waiting for?!¡± ¡°Next, I¡¯ll try the Soul Lock.¡± The corners of Ye Fan¡¯s mouth curled up as he pointed at the Giant Lizard. !! Invisible soul power instantly surged out towards the Giant Lizard like a tide. The invisible soul power turned into faint chains that directly tied the Giant Lizard to the spot. The Giant Lizard struggled with all its might in fear, but it could not break free. The Lv5 Soul Lock was very powerful. Seeing this scene, the audience kept gasping. ¡°Damn, the Soul Lock is actually so powerful?¡± ¡°Was this guy born with soul techniques? Why is he so abnormal?¡± Cao Wuji was sweating profusely and his face was as pale as paper, but he could not do anything. He could only watch as Ye Fan followed up with a soul attack. The Giant Lizard was like a fish on a chopping board as it was directly blasted into blood. In an instant, it was dead. The death of the giant spider proved that Ye Fan¡¯s soul power attack wasn¡¯t as simple as insta-killing a Rank-2 pet beast. He could even easily insta-kill a low-level Rank-3 pet beast. Everyone was shocked and speechless. At this moment, the Blood Warrior rushed in front of Ye Fan. Seeing its cold blade about to slash down, Cao Wuji¡¯s eyes finally flashed with hope. His gaze was fixed on the cold saber flickering with a cold light. The cold light carried a violent wind as it slashed at Ye Fan. Then, when it was five centimeters away from Ye Fan, it activated the Guardian Soul, directly blocking the saber. The cold saber was unable to advance an inch. Cao Wuji¡¯s face instantly collapsed like a stray dog. As for Ye Fan, he was extremely calm from beginning to end. This was clearly within his expectations. With a Lv5 Guardian Soul and 3,000 soul power, even a fifth-rank pet wouldn¡¯t be able to break through his defense in a short period of time, let alone an intermediate Rank-3 Blood Warrior. He glanced at the Blood Warrior and casually threw a soul power attack. Soon, the Blood Warrior went to meet up with its companions. At this moment, Cao Wuji¡¯s three pets had already been destroyed. The surroundings of the arena were silent. After an unknown period of time, suddenly, a tsunami-like shout erupted. ¡°F*ck, he¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°This brother will be my idol from now on!¡± ¡°Ye Fan, awesome.¡± The entire audience was in chaos, and shouts could be heard. Previously, when Ye Fan had said that he didn¡¯t need a pet beast to fight, they had all thought he was crazy. They hadn¡¯t expected him to be so powerful! He actually defeated a Rank-3 Beast Tamer with just soul techniques! The entire battle was very easy! It was a completely crushing battle! How could anyone not be shocked? Compared to the excitement of the others, the atmosphere in the Heart Society was heavy. Xue Shan did not say a word as he looked at the arena with a gloomy expression. Everyone¡¯s expression was as if they had eaten sh*t. When Ye Fan had agreed to Cao Wuji¡¯s bet, they had all been very happy. They had all mocked Ye Fan for being so arrogant and conceited! That guy actually wanted to use soul arts to deal with this competition! It seemed that Ye Fan was about to be eliminated! However, the outcome was unexpected. ¡°Trash!¡± Xue Shan glared fiercely at Cao Wuji, who was in the arena. Initially, he thought that Cao Wuji was a seedling worth nurturing, but he did not expect him to be so useless. ¡°Brother Shan, this kid is too strange.¡± A fourth-year student pointed at Ye Fan. ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable for a first-year student to defeat a Rank-3 Beast Tamer in such a way.¡± ¡°His soul techniques are just a little bit powerful.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s only bullying third-rank pets. If it were me, I would beat him up until his father wouldn¡¯t recognize him!¡± ¡°That soul art¡¯s power is so great. It must have consumed a lot of energy. I reckon Ye Fan won¡¯t be able to use it too many times.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t worry, everyone.¡± A few fourth-year students spoke one after another. Xue Shan¡¯s expression was still gloomy. He naturally knew that Ye Fan¡¯s soul art wasn¡¯t worth paying attention to. Beast Tamers¡¯ core power was pets! However, losing to Ye Fan in such a way was simply a great humiliation! He was extremely angry now. At this moment, he was somewhat looking forward to Ye Fan entering the top 64. Only then could he personally dampen the other party¡¯s spirit! Unfortunately, he could only look forward to it! It was impossible for Ye Fan to enter the top 64! ¡°Ah Fan, you¡¯re too awesome.¡± Xiao Qiuya went up to him excitedly. Chen Xin was also very happy. Those who did not know better would think that the two of them had won the competition. ¡°Junior brother, congratulations.¡± Xu Menghan congratulated. Su Wan¡¯er sized up Ye Fan with a profound gaze, as if she had encountered something extremely curious. ¡°Senior Sister Wan¡¯er, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Fan felt a bit uncomfortable from her sizing him up. ¡°You¡¯re too awesome.¡± Xu Menghan answered. She looked shocked. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯ve done?¡± ¡°You defeated a Rank-3 Beast Tamer with just soul techniques. Even a fourth-year student can¡¯t do that!¡± ¡°You¡¯re in the limelight today. I¡¯m sure your name will spread throughout the entire arena in less than an hour!¡± Chapter 90 - 90 Rank 4 90 Rank 4 Hearing her words, Ye Fan indifferently smiled. He didn¡¯t value this reputation too much. It was better to give him evolution points directly. ¡°It¡¯s your turn next,¡± Ye Fan said. Only then did Xiao Qiuya remember that it was almost her turn. She quickly went to prepare, and the others focused on the next match. !! In the first round, 125 students advanced. There were more than ten matches going on at the same time, and progress was very fast. The sunset gradually arrived, and the competition ended in the evening. Ye Fan, Xu Menghan, and Su Wan¡¯er smoothly advanced. Xiao Qiuya¡¯s advancement process was a little complicated, but she had advanced. Chen Xin was not so lucky. She regretfully lost. Ye Fan comforted her. Chen Xin didn¡¯t really care. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just wanted to accumulate experience and didn¡¯t think of getting any ranking. It¡¯s already very unexpected that I advanced from the first round.¡± Chen Xin was very happy to hear Ye Fan¡¯s comforting words. Ye Fan seriously looked at her. Seeing that she really wasn¡¯t pretending, he stopped worrying for her. ¡°I¡¯m probably going to be eliminated in the next round.¡± Xiao Qiuya sighed. Xu Menghan pinched her face and smiled. ¡°You should be satisfied. You have to know that 90% of the 125 people in the second round are third and fourth-year students. There are almost no second-year students.¡± Xiao Qiuya stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously. Of course, she knew that the lowest level of these students was Rank-3 Beast Tamers. Even the second-year students were among the top ten elite students. To be honest, she was still a little proud that she could reach this stage. However, although no one present said anything, they all understood that the most outstanding person was still Ye Fan! He was the only first-year student among the 125 people who had advanced! Although someone had been lucky enough to advance in the past, Ye Fan was different! He had relied on his strength to defeat his opponent! That was the real deal, reaching the top 125! Everyone was shocked. Now, not only was West Eagle Academy discussing this matter, but the audience was also discussing. Everyone was very curious about where this monstrous first-year student could go in the Inter-academy Tournament. On the second day, the center of the field was filled with people. The eliminated students were also in the audience. At this moment, they were not as nervous as before. Chen Xin quietly followed behind Ye Fan and the others, sneaking into the waiting area. She sat beside Ye Fan as usual. ¡°The list is out.¡± Xiao Qiuya stared at her phone as she checked the list of matches. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er were not so lucky this time. Their opponents were both fourth-year students. For third-year students, although the opponents were just ordinary fourth-year students, it was still very difficult for them to win. Xu Menghan felt a little regretful. Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s expression was still calm. She did not say anything, as if she did not care about the competition at all. Sometimes, Ye Fan even wanted to tease Su Wan¡¯er. Could it be that her face wouldn¡¯t show any other expression? ¡°My opponent is also a fourth-year student.¡± Xiao Qiuya sighed in disappointment. However, at the same time, she felt relieved. Now, she did not have to worry about whether she could advance or not. The fourth-year students were not someone she could defeat at all. ¡°Then what about Ye Fan¡¯s opponent?¡± Xu Menghan asked. Xiao Qiuya looked down and was suddenly stunned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just surprised that Fan¡¯s opponent is Guo Qi.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone present revealed strange expressions. Ye Fan was also very surprised. If he hadn¡¯t known that the names of the participants in the Inter-academy Tournament were all random, he would¡¯ve suspected that the Competition Committee had deliberately arranged for the two of them to fight. He was going to fight with the Heart Society to the end! First, it was Cao Wuji, and now it was Guo Qi. What a coincidence! ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t worry. This time, we can humiliate the Heart Society again.¡± Xiao Qiuya gloated. Xu Menghan frowned. ¡°I heard that Guo Qi has already broken through to Rank 4. If Ye Fan fights him, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that simple.¡± As soon as she said this, the gloating expressions on Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin¡¯s faces disappeared. If Guo Qi was still a Rank-3 Beast Tamer, they would definitely win. Ye Fan would definitely easily deal with him. But if he was a Rank-4 Beast Tamer¡­ it was hard to say. Thinking of this, they subconsciously looked at Ye Fan, extremely worried. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Guo Qi isn¡¯t qualified to be my opponent.¡± To the others, these words were undoubtedly very conceited. However, to Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin, it was as if they had been given a calming agent. Seeing how confident Ye Fan was, they didn¡¯t say anything else. They secretly cheered him on. ¡°Safety first, victory second.¡± Xu Menghan instructed. Ye Fan didn¡¯t say anything, only smiling and nodding. The second round quickly began. Ye Fan still went on stage before Xu Menghan and the others. Seeing Ye Fan enter the arena, whispers immediately rang out. ¡°Hey, is that Ye Fan?¡± ¡°I heard that he¡¯s the ruthless person who only used soul techniques to defeat a Rank-3 Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him. It¡¯s said that he¡¯s the only first-year student who advanced.¡± ¡°Really? Then I¡¯m looking forward to this competition.¡± Chapter 91 - 91 Enemies on a Narrow Road 91 Enemies on a Narrow Road Many people looked like they were watching a good show. Ye Fan¡¯s battle yesterday quickly spread throughout the arena. Many people were very curious about him. Seeing that he was going on stage, everyone was very excited. Guo Qi also entered the arena. His appearance caused a commotion among the students in the audience. !! There were many people in the academy who knew about the conflict between the Rose Society and the Heart Society. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s Heart Society again, and he¡¯s even the president.¡± ¡°Ye Fan is going to go against Heart Society.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. The drawing of lots is random.¡± ¡°Is Guo Qi a third-year student? I heard that he¡¯s already a Rank-4 Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Ah, then isn¡¯t Ye Fan in a bad situation?¡± ¡°Yes, he might be eliminated this time.¡± Although Ye Fan had once defeated Guo Qi, Guo Qi had already advanced to a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. Things were different now! Most people outside the arena felt that Guo Qi would win! In the end, Ye Fan was only a first-year student. It was really unbelievable that he could defeat a Rank-4 Beast Tamer. No matter how outstanding his soul technique was, it was not enough to make up for the difference between Rank 3 and 4. The surrounding discussion made Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya frown. They worriedly looked at Ye Fan. On the arena, Guo Qi¡¯s expression was as dark as ink. He ruthlessly glared at Ye Fan and sneered. Ever since they lost the society battle, the Heart Society had been unable to raise their heads among the societies and had been mocked by other societies. He had suffered the most ridicule! And all of this was because of Ye Fan! Guo Qi directly blamed this on Ye Fan. The reason why he had cultivated with all his might previously was to regain his dignity in the school tournament. Today, this opportunity had finally arrived. ¡°I was worried that you wouldn¡¯t be able to continue winning. It would be a pity if you were eliminated and couldn¡¯t fight me.¡± ¡°Fortunately, my luck is not bad. I don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± Guo Qi¡¯s face was filled with ruthlessness. Ye Fan shrugged. ¡°Really? I hope you¡¯ll think so later.¡± Guo Qi naturally could tell what Ye Fan was implying. He sneered. ¡°You don¡¯t think you can defeat a Rank-4 Beast Tamer, do you?¡± ¡°Stop daydreaming. The difference between Rank 3 and Rank 4 is unimaginable.¡± Guo Qi berated coldly. Although it was very surprising that Ye Fan had advanced to a Rank-3 Beast Tamer before the age of 20, Rank-3 was still Rank-3. How could he compare to a Rank-4? Battles across ranks between Beast Tamers and magical beasts might happen, because Beast Tamers had many pets and had the advantage in numbers. However, against opponents who were also Beast Tamers, such an advantage didn¡¯t exist. It was even the other way around. The high-level side had a numerical advantage over the low-level side, so Guo Qi was very sure that Ye Fan would definitely fail. He had asked around. Ye Fan hadn¡¯t broken through to the fourth rank. Today, I must avenge my previous humiliation! Guo Qi swore in his heart, his gaze becoming increasingly cold as he looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan treated him like a clown, not taking him seriously at all. A countdown began to appear on the screen. The moment the number reached zero, several lights flickered in front of Guo Qi. A high-level Rank-3 Desert Cactus. An intermediate Rank 3 Plum Blossom Leopard. An intermediate Rank-4 Skeleton Ghost. A low-level Rank-4 Armored Turtle. The audience instantly stirred. Many people were shocked by Guo Qi¡¯s pets. Ye Fan sized up the pet beasts opposite him. The Skeleton Ghost had clearly evolved from Guo Qi¡¯s original Skeleton Monster. This was a pet with good potential. The Armored Turtle was most likely a new pet contracted by Guo Qi after his advancement. Two Rank-4 pets? Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he pondered. Then, if there was only the Hunter Fox, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. Should he let other pets fight? After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Fan decided to give up on this idea. He could take this opportunity to let the Hunter Fox accumulate more combat experience. All along, the Golden Sparrow and the Inferno Fire had been fighting at the front. Most of the time, the Hunter Fox was like a mascot. If there was a chance, he would let it fight. Coincidentally, the growth of the Hunter Fox was almost 100%. He might as well let it evolve. The current growth of the Hunter Fox was 95%. Ye Fan had originally planned to take some time out of the city during the academy competition. He intended to bring the Hunter Fox out to kill monsters to increase their growth. He summoned the system interface and directly consumed 5 evolution points to increase its growth to 100%. As for the materials needed for evolution, they had long been prepared. Ye Fan directly chose the growth on the evolution panel. Instantly, the interface changed. Hunter Fox Higher Rank 4 0% Charm, Superior Charm Immunity, Advanced Sleep Immunity, Advanced Intimidation Immunity Fox Leaf Wedge, Fox Fire, Eye of Illusion, Jump The bloodline is currently Cursed Fox. Can be upgraded to the King rank. Requirements: 100% growth, one Illusion-type Beast Heart at Rank 5, and 30 Intermediate Illusion Crystals. Ye Fan suppressed his joy and quickly browsed through it. Chapter 92 - 92 Cleaning Up 92 Cleaning Up Charm Resistance directly advanced to Charm Immunity. Sleep Immunity and Intimidation Immunity had also increased to the advanced level. Of course, the most important thing was its strength! It actually jumped by three small levels and directly reached the high level of Rank 4. Now, he was not afraid even if he faced a Rank-5 pet. !! As for the audience outside the arena, they saw Ye Fan standing there in a daze, not moving or summoning his pet. They couldn¡¯t help but be curious. Guo Qi was also puzzled. Could it be that this guy still planned to use soul techniques to fight him? As soon as this thought appeared, Guo Qi¡¯s expression changed drastically. He hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to still look down on him at this time. Just as he was about to attack, a light flashed beside Ye Fan. Immediately after, a beautiful fox with long limbs and charming eyes appeared on the arena. A crisp cry came from its mouth. It was very clear in the entire arena. Guo Qi was stunned. Why was it this fox? And why was it different from before? Guo Qi rubbed his eyes and stared carefully. ¡°There¡¯s no need to doubt yourself.¡± Ye Fan interrupted Guo Qi¡¯s puzzled gaze. He smiled and pointed at the Cursed Fox, explaining kindly, ¡°It¡¯s already a fourth-rank pet.¡± The commotion in the audience erupted. Guo Qi almost vomited blood. Evolved? It actually evolved! It was already a fourth-rank pet! He was speechless! Just now, he had thought that Ye Fan was just a Rank-3 Beast Tamer and couldn¡¯t beat him at all! Now, the other party was telling him that he had already broken through? Now, he had become a Rank-4 Beast Tamer! This was simply teasing him! He was speechless. The audience exploded. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s fake.¡± ¡°This fox pet is indeed different now.¡± ¡°It broke through just like that.¡± ¡°In that case, did it just evolve yesterday or today?¡± ¡°Most likely. This talent is really enviable.¡± ¡°A Rank-4 Beast Tamer under the age of 20!¡± ¡°Damn, comparisons are infuriating!¡± Hearing the voices around them, Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin were a little dazed. How did he suddenly become a Rank-4 Beast Tamer? Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. Ye Fan really could give people new surprises every time. Heart Society and the others looked as if they had eaten sh*t. Their expressions were extremely ugly. The other party had suddenly evolved. There was nothing more disgusting and aggrieving than this! ¡°Damn, this kid is really f*cking strange.¡± ¡°It was only Rank 3 yesterday, but it suddenly evolved today. I¡¯m speechless!¡± ¡°What should we do now? Will Guo Qi still win against a Rank-4 pet?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Don¡¯t boost others¡¯ morale and lower your own prestige.¡± ¡°This kid has just broken through. How can he be Guo Qi¡¯s match?¡± ¡°Besides, Guo Qi has two more fourth-rank pets than Ye Fan.¡± At this point, the expressions of the people from Heart Society softened slightly. On the arena, Guo Qi clearly remembered this too. The fear because of Ye Fan¡¯s sudden advancement disappeared by more than half. ¡°So what if you broke through to Rank 4? You¡¯ll definitely lose to me today!¡± After saying that, Guo Qi directly gave his four pets the order to attack. The Desert Cactus was the fastest. It rushed over like a gust of wind. Its vines instantly increased crazily. The Plum Blossom Leopard and the Armored Turtle were a step behind, but their speed was also very fast. They were agile pets to begin with. Only the Skeleton Ghost was slightly slower. Its body was too huge. Walking on the arena, it rumbled and moved like a huge castle, but its strength was the fiercest. Facing the four pet beasts chasing after them, both Ye Fan and the Hunter Fox were extremely calm. After putting on the Guardian Soul, Ye Fan didn¡¯t do anything else. He left the rest to the Hunter Fox. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the Hunter Fox elegantly swung its huge tail. Its pale golden pupils narrowed slightly as it looked at the Desert Cactus that was the first to attack. Its eyes flickered with a charming light. The Desert Cactus was instantly stunned when it met those beautiful eyes. It fell into a daze. It suddenly retracted the vines that should have been thrown at Ye Fan. As if it had gone crazy, it directly changed directions and crazily hit its companions. The other three pet beasts were extremely dumbfounded by its sudden actions. ¡®What happened?¡¯ Guo Qi¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at the Desert Cactus that had suddenly changed sides. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed. He gritted his teeth and looked at the Hunter Fox. Illusion pet! Among all the rarest types of pets, the illusion attribute was steadily ranked in the top three! Such pets were often very rare! Their mental strength was very high! For example, Charm! Guo Qi had never imagined that Ye Fan¡¯s fox pet would actually be an illusion-type pet! Moreover, it had an extremely powerful control skill in terms of mental strength! Chapter 93 - 93 Enraged 93 Enraged Damn it, what kind of luck did this kid have? He was clearly just a commoner! How could he have such a rare pet! The fox pet in front of him! Coupled with the Cute Sparrow and the Scorching Fire, this lineup of strong pets simply drove him crazy with jealousy! The Cursed Fox successfully charmed the Plum Blossom Leopard. It let the Plum Blossom Leopard and the Desert Cactus worked together to hold back the Armored Turtle while it attacked the Skeleton Ghost! Ye Fan shook his head regretfully. The Cursed Fox¡¯s Eyes of Illusion and Charm were very useful, but they could only control low-level existences. Against pets of the same level, it could only cause them to be in a daze. But even so, Ye Fan was very satisfied. This skill was already very powerful. At least, there was nothing Guo Qi could do now. While the three pets were fighting, the Cursed Fox quickly summoned lightning and fire that bombarded the Skeleton Ghost! The effect of lightning and fire on the Skeleton Ghost¡¯s steel armor was obvious. A violent reaction instantly happened between the lightning and iron. As for the Skeleton Ghost, its body was too huge. It could not hit the small and fast Cursed Fox at all. The Cursed Fox would also instantly dodge the skills it occasionally used. In just a short while, the surface of the Skeleton Ghost was already covered in lightning. Its body was already clearly deformed. The Armored Turtle finally killed two pets at the cost of serious injuries. Just as it was about to turn around to support the Skeleton Ghost, the Cursed Fox, who had realized the situation in advance, attacked from behind. A lightning ball sent it to meet his companions. At this point, the outcome was obvious. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Junior Brother Ye Fan¡¯s fox pet to have such a powerful illusion technique.¡± Below the arena, Xu Menghan looked at the Cursed Fox and sighed. Su Wan¡¯er also made a rare comment. ¡°Even against a fifth-rank pet, he might be able to fight!¡± Xu Menghan nodded in agreement. ¡°So powerful?¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya were not as knowledgeable as the two senior sisters in this aspect. When they heard their evaluation, they were very shocked. After all, that fox pet had only advanced for a day, but it already had combat strength comparable to a fifth-rank pet? This was simply incomprehensible! If it was anyone else who said this, they would definitely be suspicious. However, it was Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er who said this. They could only be surprised! They widened their big eyes, worshiping Ye Fan. ¡°It¡¯s almost over.¡± Xu Menghan finished speaking. The Skeleton Ghost in the arena suddenly roared in pain and fell to the ground like scrap metal. Its huge body had already deformed. After shaking violently, it was instantly lifeless. Seeing this scene, Guo Qi¡¯s lips trembled, and his face was ashen. He had originally thought that he would win this match, but in the end, he had lost. He had lost so badly! This was completely different from what he had expected! Ye Fan once again used his strength to tell him the difference between them! He didn¡¯t even use the mysterious Cute Sparrow or the Inferno Fire! He defeated him so easily with a fourth-rank pet that had just advanced! Not to mention avenging his previous humiliation, it was simply rubbing salt into his wound! He would probably have to bear this humiliation forever in the future! This Ye Fan¡¯s talent was so monstrous. Presumably, the gap between the two of them would only grow larger and larger in the future. Compared to Guo Qi¡¯s discouragement, the cheers from the audience came one after another. ¡°Ye Fan is too awesome!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the third-year students to be no match for him.¡± ¡°Guo Qi is in the top five of the third year students.¡± ¡°I wonder what will happen if Ye Fan fights a fourth-year student?¡± ¡°Who will win?¡± ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to it now!¡± Amidst the deafening commotion, Xue Shan and the others sat in the preparation area without saying a word. After leaving the arena, Ye Fan was warmly welcomed. ¡°Ah Fan, you¡¯re too awesome. Congratulations on advancing to the top 64!¡± Ye Fan chatted with Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin for a while before looking at Xu Menghan and Song Wan¡¯er. ¡°Senior Sister.¡± Xu Menghan responded and looked at him with a complicated gaze. ¡°Junior Brother, you really shocked us. Now, I¡¯m afraid Wan¡¯er and I are not your match.¡± Her words were not flattering him, but the truth! Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er were on par with Guo Qi. Even if they were slightly stronger, it was not too much. As for Ye Fan, since he could so easily defeat Guo Qi, wouldn¡¯t it be easy for him to defeat the two of them? Regarding this, although Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er were not envious or jealous, their emotions were inevitably complicated. Ye Fan smiled. ¡°I was just lucky.¡± Hearing this, Xu Menghan forced a smile, but she didn¡¯t say anything. Not long after, it was the other three¡¯s turn. In the end, nothing unexpected happened. Facing the fourth-year students, although Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er did their best, they still lost regretfully. They had no ability to fight back. In order to prevent their pets from dying, they quickly admitted defeat. Chapter 94 - 94 Heaven-Defying 94 Heaven-Defying Ye Fan was the only one from the Rose Society to advance. He was the only first-year student to advance to the top 64. This news quickly spread throughout the entire West Eagle Academy. This matter caused a huge commotion. Ever since the academy was established, such a situation had never happened in the previous tournaments. At this moment, almost all of the students remaining in the arena were fourth-year students. Even the third-year students were rare. They were all elite students who had advanced to Rank 4. Those who could advance to the top 64 were all Rank-4 Beast Tamers. It was impossible for a lucky person to enter the top 64. In the past, not to mention the first-year students, they had not even seen a second-year student in the top 64. But this year, Ye Fan had appeared. As a first-year student, he had entered the top 64. After this name list was announced, the entire West Eagle Academy exploded. The third round of the competition had yet to begin in the afternoon, and almost the entire academy knew Ye Fan¡¯s name. Many of the spectators outside the school were also discussing. ¡°The name list is out. Ye Fan¡¯s opponent is a fourth-year student.¡± Xiao Qiuya raised her head and looked at Ye Fan. The others also looked at Ye Fan. Their meaning was self-evident. Ye Fan smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my goal won¡¯t stop at the top 32. It¡¯s the champion.¡± The girls only thought that he was joking and did not say anything. Ye Fan shrugged very indifferently. He pretended to be watching the competition, but in reality, he was checking the system interface. After the Cursed Fox evolved, its talent and skills also increased by two. Skills to be unlocked True Vision. It can see through any invisible disguise and illusion. Unlocking requires 200 evolution points Dragon Rock. Envelop its body in dragon-shaped lightning and fire, causing an impact on the target with lightning damage. Unlocking requires 150 evolution points. Clones. Create two clones with 50% of its own strength. After the damage exceeds the upper limit, the clones will disappear. Unlocking requires 200 evolution points. All three skills were very powerful. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The True Vision could deal with some soul-type magical beasts, such as ghosts, and some illusion-type magical beasts. Seeing through illusion and disguise was very effective against Illusion-type Magical Beasts. There was no need to mention an extremely powerful attack skill like Dragon Rock. The Clone Technique was also very awesome. If used well, it could be extremely helpful. Unfortunately, he only had 500 evolution points on hand and could only unlock two of the skills. After thinking for a while, he finally chose two skills. He did not need the True Vision for the time being. After consuming his evolution points, the two skills were successfully unlocked. At this moment, the competition in the arena had just ended. ¡°Ah Fan, it¡¯s your turn,¡± Xiao Qiuya reminded him. Chen Xin pumped her fists and cheered him on seriously. Seeing her nervous expression, those who didn¡¯t know better would think that she was going to compete. Ye Fan nodded and walked towards the arena. After entering the third round of the competition, there were already very few people in the competition. The academy had directly reduced the number of arenas. At this moment, there were only four arenas left on the huge field. Currently, only four matches were held at the same time, so the number of people observing the same match had greatly increased. Seeing Ye Fan go on stage, the audience instantly became lively. ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him. It¡¯s finally his turn!¡± ¡°I was waiting for him.¡± ¡°I heard his opponent today is a fourth grader.¡± ¡°I wonder if he will win like before?¡± ¡°I hope he wins. It would be fun if he fought all the way to the finals.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. The further you go, the stronger your opponent will be. It¡¯s already very impressive that he can reach this point.¡± The audience discussed. Ye Fan expressionlessly walked onto the arena. His opponent, Sun Maomao, was already standing there, sizing him up. The entire academy was circulating Ye Fan¡¯s name, so it was naturally impossible for him not to know. When he learned that his opponent was Ye Fan, he was also very surprised. Of course, he was only surprised, not afraid at all. After all, Ye Fan was only a first-year student. Although Ye Fan¡¯s current performance was already stunning, in terms of strength, he felt that there was no need to be serious. Of course, Sun Maomao was not stupid enough to underestimate the other party. He would do his best. The two of them nodded at each other from ten meters away as a greeting. Then, a countdown number began to appear on the electronic screen. When it reached zero, Sun Mao¡¯s four pets appeared on the arena at the same time. A low-level Rank 4 Demonic Flame Bird. A low-level Rank 4 Elemental Fire Sprite. An intermediate Rank-4 Soul Master. An intermediate Rank 4 Flame Mountain. They were all fourth-rank fire-type pets. ¡°Wow, four fourth-rank pets!¡± ¡°As expected of a fourth-year student. You¡¯re indeed powerful!¡± ¡°Ye Fan is probably in trouble this time. What should he do?¡± Exclamations came from all directions. Ye Fan deeply looked at Sun Maomao. Chapter 95 - 95 Absorbing Fire 95 Absorbing Fire From the lineup of pets, the true difference between third- and fourth-year students could be seen. Guo Qi was an elite third-year student, but he was far inferior to this fourth-year student. Guo Qi¡¯s accumulation was very weak after the recent breakthrough, and this fourth-year student had long stabilized. His pets had already advanced to the fourth rank. Almost all of them were stronger than Guo Qi¡¯s. It was very difficult to beat such an opponent. Ye Fan thought for a moment and summoned the Inferno Fire. With a flash of light, the Inferno Fire appeared on the arena. Its strange appearance immediately caught everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Huh, what is this?¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen it. How strange. Could it be a new pet?¡± ¡°It looks very strong.¡± Sun Maomao was also puzzled. He stared at the Inferno Fire for a long time but couldn¡¯t recognize the pet in front of him. This time, he was shocked. From his four pets, it could be seen that he was a Beast Tamer who specialized in fire. He had a deep understanding of fire-element pets. He probably couldn¡¯t find anyone in his entire grade who studied fire-element pets more than him. Even some teachers sometimes didn¡¯t know more than him. At this moment, he actually had no impression of this fire-element pet in front of him. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. Xu Menghan, who was below the stage, was also very surprised. Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. Could it be the evolution of the Scorching Fire? No one answered this question. The main reason was that Scorching Fire was very rare to begin with. Almost no one had seen its evolved form. And despite everyone¡¯s doubts, the competition still wouldn¡¯t stop. The competition officially began. While Sun Maomao was still in shock, Ye Fan had already ordered the Inferno Fire to attack. The child¡¯s cry echoed in the arena. The Inferno Fire rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. When it approached, it turned into a huge fireball that collided fiercely with a rumbling sound. The first to be hit was the Elemental Fire Sprite. This fire-element pet, which was half the height of a person, looked like a water droplet. At this moment, it was not to be outdone and charged forward fiercely. It was obvious that it wanted to fight head-on with the Inferno Fire! Then, it was in trouble. With an ear-piercing sound of pain, the flames of the Elemental Fire Sprite were quickly suppressed by the Inferno Fire. Its body was also trembling from the terrifying impact. In the next moment, before it could let out a scream, it instantly dissipated in the air. Then, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Seeing this scene, Sun Maomao¡¯s eyes almost popped out. The Elemental Fire Sprite was a low-level pet of the fourth rank. It was instantly killed by the other party? How did it do it? Before Sun Maomao could figure it out, the Inferno Fire had already charged valiantly at the other pets. In shock, Sun Maomao had no choice but to quickly command his pets to fight. The Demonic Flame Bird, the Soul Master, and the Flame Mountain attacked at the same time. Three different fire skills attacked from different directions from the air and the ground, smashing towards the Inferno Fire. They struck its body ruthlessly. However, what shocked everyone was that not only was the Inferno Fire not injured, but it also burned even hotter as if it had eaten a huge tonic. Its aura became even stronger. Seeing this scene, Sun Maomao looked like he had seen a ghost. Absorb flames! This mysterious fire-element pet actually had a god-level skill like absorbing flames. Sun Maomao was stunned on the spot. His mind was buzzing. To fire-element pets, absorbing flames was the rarest and most terrifying talent. It was rare. Absorbing fire was equivalent to letting fire-type pets have a very powerful self-healing function. It could recover by absorbing fire-attribute skills from the enemy, so that it could replenish consumption and heal injuries. At the same time, it was equivalent to having the talent to be immune to all fire-type attacks. This was also what made fire-element pets afraid. Facing an opponent who was not scared of but could be strengthened by hostile flames, other fire-element pets could not resist at all. ¡°How can we fight?¡± Sun Maomao looked at the remaining three fire-type pets in front of him and wanted to cry. He was straightforward. His expression changed again and again. After a while, he finally lowered his head and raised his hand dejectedly. ¡°I admit defeat.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Then, a loud voice suddenly sounded. ¡°No way, he admitted defeat just like that.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why am I confused?¡± ¡°Sun Maomao had no choice. Who asked Ye Fan¡¯s pet to have the talent to absorb flames?¡± A fourth-year student sighed. His words immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Chapter 96 - 96 Breaking the Record 96 Breaking the Record Someone hurriedly asked what was going on. The fourth-year student did not keep them in suspense. He explained in detail the effect of the fire absorption talent. After hearing that, the surrounding people were even more surprised. They did not expect there to be such a magical talent. Then wouldn¡¯t he be invincible against all fire-type pets? No wonder Sun Maomao admitted defeat so readily. ¡°He really can¡¯t fight this. It¡¯s too strong!¡± ¡°These trump cards come one after another.¡± ¡°In that case, Ye Fan has advanced to the top 32.¡± Only after being reminded did everyone react. Yes, Ye Fan had won again. He had once again broken the West Eagle Academy¡¯s record and become the first first-year student to enter the top 32! For a moment, the audience was in an uproar. Ye Fan hadn¡¯t expected Sun Maomao to admit defeat so easily. He was also very surprised. He glanced at the other party and put away his pet before walking off the arena. When he reached the waiting area, Xiao Qiuya, Chen Xin, and the others were still in a daze. They just couldn¡¯t understand how Ye Fan had suddenly won. After a long time, Xu Menghan sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t be surprised no matter what happens next.¡± Chen Xin smiled and said, ¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯re saying it too early. Hasn¡¯t Ah Fan surprised us enough? Perhaps there will be something even more shocking next.¡± Xu Menghan glanced at her, but in the end, she didn¡¯t say anything. After all, Ye Fan was too mysterious. She really couldn¡¯t see through just how many trump cards he had. Even the usually expressionless Su Wan¡¯er was staring fixedly at Ye Fan, unable to hide the probing look in her eyes. Just as they were chatting and laughing, a cold voice came from behind. ¡°Menghan, Wan¡¯er, long time no see.¡± Everyone turned around and saw a tall girl with good facial features looking at them with a smile. Her black and beautiful hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. Her facial features were exquisite, making her look clean and neat. The light fell on her, accentuating her brightness. ¡°Senior Sister.¡± Just as Ye Fan was wondering who she was, he heard Xu Menghan call out in surprise. She quickly ran over and affectionately held that girl¡¯s arm. Ye Fan recalled that Xue Shan had mentioned this name before. From his words, this senior named Shen Miao clearly had a very close relationship with the Rose Society. Then, Xu Menghan¡¯s introduction confirmed his guess. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Shen Miao, a fourth-year student and the previous president of the Rose Society.¡± Then, Xu Menghan introduced Ye Fan and Chen Xin to her. ¡°Hello.¡± She nodded amiably at Ye Fan and Chen Xin. After exchanging a few pleasantries, her gaze landed on Ye Fan. ¡°Previously, I heard Menghan tell me about the Rose Society. I was very surprised that they accepted a boy. Now that I¡¯ve seen Junior Brother Ye Fan, I finally understand. Someone as outstanding as Junior Brother Ye Fan really does have the qualifications to be an exception.¡± ¡°Senior Sister is too kind,¡± Ye Fan modestly said. Unexpectedly, she said with a serious expression, ¡°I¡¯m serious. In all these years, I¡¯ve never seen a genius like you. Your talent is simply monstrous.¡± ¡°To be honest, if I didn¡¯t know anything about you, I would have suspected that you were a direct descent of those ancient families.¡± Ye Fan was also a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect her to have such a high evaluation of him. Xu Menghan smiled. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve heard you praise someone so directly.¡± Hearing this, Shen Miao tapped the tip of her nose and smiled without saying anything. In fact, at the beginning of school, she had a very high evaluation of Ye Fan, but she only treated him as a junior. But when she heard that Ye Fan had defeated Guo Qi and Sun Maomao in succession, she had truly noticed him. The failure of Sun Maomao¡¯s four fourth-rank pets was enough to prove that Ye Fan¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t inferior to the fourth-year students of the academy. Although talent was important, if one wanted to be treated equally, it ultimately depended on strength. Most of the fourth-year students had the same thoughts as her. After his battle with Sun Maomao, they had officially treated Ye Fan equally. That was why Shen Miao was so emotional. Compared to Ye Fan¡¯s status as a first-year student, this situation was extremely inconceivable. If someone had told her that a first-year student could advance to the top 32, she would definitely have said that that person was dreaming during the day. But now that the truth was in front of her, she shook her head with a smile. No matter what, it was not bad to have an outstanding member in the society. Many thoughts ran through her mind. Shen Miao smiled and said, ¡°The top 16 matches will be held tomorrow. The name list should have appeared by now. Let¡¯s see who our opponent is. You¡¯ll be mentally prepared.¡± Chapter 97 - 97 Again 97 Again Xiao Qiuya turned on her phone and checked. Her expression became strange. When Chen Xin and Xu Menghan saw her, they seemed to have thought of something and were very surprised. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s the Heart Society again.¡± Xiao Qiuya smiled bitterly and waved her phone. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s someone from Heart Society, and it¡¯s Xue Shan.¡± Xu Menghan took a deep breath and couldn¡¯t help but look at Shen Miao, who glanced at Ye Fan with a solemn expression. Although there was something wrong with Xue Shan¡¯s character, his strength was unquestionable. In the fourth year, his strength was enough to rank in the top ten. He was much stronger than Sun Maomao. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was also somewhat helpless, but he still nodded to show that he understood. It wasn¡¯t because Xue Shan was so powerful, but because he felt that meeting people from the Heart Society frequently in competitions really made him speechless. These guys buzzed like flies and were very vengeful. He felt very frustrated. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s expression, Shen Miao thought that he was worried about the competition and comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Xue Shan¡¯s identity as a fourth-year student is publicly known. Even if you lose, it¡¯s not embarrassing. Just do your best.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Ah Fan, you¡¯re already very impressive as a first-year student to enter the top 32. Even if you lose, others won¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°At most, we¡¯ll come again next year. With the speed at which you¡¯re improving, you¡¯ll definitely be the champion next year.¡± Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin were also comforting her. Ye Fan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at their words, but he felt a bit warm in his heart. Thinking about it, he didn¡¯t say anything else and nodded to show that he understood. In the waiting area of the Heart Society. The group of members also learned that Xue Shan was going to fight Ye Fan tomorrow. Everyone looked at each other. For a moment, no one knew what to say. Guo Qi, Cao Wuji, and the others sat not far away with their heads lowered, not saying a word. Heart Society¡¯s luck seemed to have been declining this year. Other than Xue Shan, who had advanced to the top 32, the rest of the members of the society had been eliminated. As a result, the atmosphere in the entire society was very heavy. ¡°You¡¯re mute.¡± Xue Shan looked around with a dark expression and said coldly. No one dared to look him in the eye. They lowered their heads one after another. Seeing this, Xue Shan became even angrier. ¡°Not a single one of you entered the top 32. You¡¯re simply trash. And the two of you, you can¡¯t even defeat a first-year student. To think that you¡¯re even managers of a society.¡± Xue Shan glared at Guo Qi and Cao Wuji. The two of them felt as if they were unable to say anything. Who would have thought that Ye Fan¡¯s strength would soar to another level in such a short period of time? It was simply unimaginable. Now, even Sun Maomao had been defeated by him. ¡°People are mocking us now. They¡¯re saying that our big society combined is not even comparable to a first-year student!¡± Xue Shan was about to explode from anger. This time, the Heart Society had been defeated by Ye Fan again and again, causing the other societies to laugh at them. Even the matter of the society battle previously was mentioned again. This matter quickly spread throughout the entire academy. Many people who had a grudge against Xue Shan mocked him for this, so he was extremely angry. ¡°Brother Shan, don¡¯t be angry. Even Sun Maomao isn¡¯t Ye Fan¡¯s match, let alone the others in the society. There¡¯s nothing we could¡¯ve done.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Anyway, his opponent tomorrow is you. Teach him a good lesson to vent our anger.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This kid will definitely lose tomorrow. No matter how tricky he is, he can¡¯t be Brother Shan¡¯s match.¡± The members of Heart Society spoke one after another. Xue Shan did not say anything and only snorted coldly. Previously, he had hoped that Ye Fan would win and then fight him. This way, he could defeat Ye Fan in front of everyone. In reality, Xue Shan didn¡¯t have any expectations, but the result surprised him. Ye Fan had actually really entered the top 32, and it was as he had hoped. When he heard this news, he was very shocked. However, this was a good opportunity to wash away the humiliation of the Heart Society. ¡°That kid is indeed capable, but his competition will end here.¡± A cold light kept brewing in Xue Shan¡¯s eyes. He was looking forward to tomorrow¡¯s competition. The further the tournament went, the more interesting it became. The number of spectators increased. On the second day, Ye Fan arrived. When he arrived at the central field, he found that the audience seats were already full. Even the aisle was already bustling with people. Seeing Ye Fan appear, many spectators waved at him. Some girls near the fence couldn¡¯t help but scream. It had to be said that the most famous people in the past few days weren¡¯t the fourth-year students with the highest chances of winning the championship, but the dark horse, Ye Fan. Almost everyone watching the battle knew that many young people treated Ye Fan as their idol. After all, a Rank-4 Beast Tamer under the age of 20 was really surprising. When Ye Fan arrived at the waiting area, the four women of the Rose Society were already waiting. They were very concerned about the upcoming competition and their expressions were very solemn. Shen Miao was not with them. She was one of the top 32 and was preparing for the competition. Chapter 98 - 98 True Disparity 98 True Disparity Ye Fan¡¯s match was in the fourth round, and it was soon his turn. ¡°Come on, Ah Fan.¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya puffed up their faces and cheered him on. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er also looked at him encouragingly. Ye Fan nodded and smiled at them. Then, he strode towards the arena. Xue Shan also appeared on the arena. ¡°I thought you¡¯d abstain.¡± When he saw Ye Fan, a sinister smile appeared on his face. ¡°Your courage is commendable.¡± Ye Fan smiled. ¡°My goal is the academy¡¯s championship. I naturally can¡¯t give up here.¡± Xue Shan thought that he was teasing him. Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. ¡°I hope you can still smile later.¡± The electronic screen displayed the countdown. The audience outside the arena was very excited. They all revealed excited expressions. After entering the top 16, there were no more competitions at the same time. Just one match at a time. All eyes were on Ye Fan. He was a genius contestant who had entered the top 32 as a first-year student, while his opponent was an elite student ranked in the top 10 of the fourth year. Before the competition began, the audience was already in an uproar. This was simply the liveliest occasion in the entire competition. ¡°Who do you think will win?¡± ¡°Objectively speaking, Xue Shan is one of the best among the fourth-year students.¡± ¡°But Ye Fan isn¡¯t bad either. He just defeated a fourth-year student yesterday.¡± ¡°The outcome of the competition is really hard to say. I can¡¯t wait to see them fight.¡± The clear discussion entered Xue Shan¡¯s ears, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. In Xue Shan¡¯s opinion, Ye Fan had completely relied on luck to defeat Sun Maomao. Ye Fan¡¯s pet beast¡¯s fire absorption talent happened to firmly restrain Sun Maomao. That was why he could win. If it was another opponent, the outcome would definitely be different. Ye Fan wouldn¡¯t be able to have such an advantage next. ¡°The fire absorption talent is useless against my earth attribute pets.¡± The moment the countdown reached zero, he immediately summoned four pets. An intermediate Rank-4 Earth Digging Beast. An intermediate Rank-4 Soil Tiger. A high-level Rank-4 Shield Lion. A high-level Rank-4 Wild Horse. They were all fourth-rank pets with earth attributes. The weakest one was at the intermediate level. In terms of lineup strength, they were clearly much stronger than Sun Maomao¡¯s pets. Was this the standard of the top ten of the fourth year? Ye Fan disdainfully snorted. Xue Shan¡¯s strength largely represented the level of the top students in the academy. Their accumulation at the fourth rank was already very high. All their pets had already advanced to the fourth rank. As long as one of them successfully broke through to Rank 5, they could become Rank 5 Beast Tamers. It was most likely impossible to deal with this lineup with just one pet. Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate and directly summoned the Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Then, he cast the Guardian Soul on himself. He stood on the spot and crossed his arms leisurely. His disregard for his opponent had successfully angered Xue Shan. He fiercely gave the order to attack. The abnormally huge and ugly Earth Digging Beast suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared. The other three pounced on the Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire respectively. The Soil Tiger was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it crossed 10 meters. In a short while, it was not far from the Cursed Fox. It slammed into the enemy. There was an extremely thick layer of rock on its surface. When it rushed towards the enemy, its entire body was like a huge rock. It formed a strong contrast with the Cursed Fox¡¯s petite body. However, facing the suppression of its size, the Cursed Fox was not afraid at all and directly collided with it. Halfway through, lightning shot out and swayed. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced down. Lightning shot in all directions as the two parties collided fiercely in the middle of the arena. Thunder rumbled non-stop, erupting with muffled sounds. The lightning that filled the sky exploded with the gravel. A figure flew ten meters away at an extremely fast speed and landed heavily. Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the figure that had fallen was actually the Soil Tiger. Its very thick stone layer was already covered in cracks and it looked extremely miserable. Clearly, after the confrontation just now, the Soil Tiger had suffered a huge loss. The Cursed Fox was just about to chase after it when it suddenly jumped to the side. In the next second, an ugly and bloated body suddenly broke out of the ground, and its dense sharp teeth closed fiercely. It was the place where the Cursed Fox had landed. The Earth Digging Beast had bitten empty air. Clearly, this Earth Digging Beast had originally planned to attack from the ground, but the Cursed Fox had sensed its movement in advance and dodged it. Chapter 99 - 99 Declaration 99 Declaration Before the Earth Digging Beast could react, the Cursed Fox moved very quickly and directly hit it with a bolt of lightning, causing it to cry out in pain. On the other side, the Inferno Fire and the Shield Lion were also fighting exceptionally fiercely. The Shield Lion and the Wild Horse were stronger than the Earth Digging Beast and the Soil Tiger. Fortunately, the Inferno Fire could ignore a portion of physical damage. Therefore, it had a huge advantage against the Shield Lion and the Wild Horse, who mainly dealt physical damage. The red light fluctuated scorchingly. With the Inferno Fire as the center, it quickly spread in all directions. The temperature in the air continued. Inferno Domain! !! The Shield Lion and the Wild Horse, who were charging towards the Inferno Fire, suddenly screamed. Their bodies felt like they were being roasted by flames. Oil rose from their bodies, and the Inferno Fire instantly increased its movement speed and strength. The Shield Lion and the Wild Horse were completely suppressed. The Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire firmly held the advantage in a one-on-two battle. The other party could not fight back at all. Ye Fan wasn¡¯t surprised by this result at all. Although they were all at the fourth rank, the Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire¡¯s actual combat strength was comparable to the fifth rank, so dealing with two fourth-rank pet beasts was naturally easy. But the spectators didn¡¯t think so. Although Ye Fan¡¯s previous performance had been shocking, they still felt that he was lacking something. However, at this moment, the Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire were fighting with all their might. Only now did they truly realize just how powerful Ye Fan was. ¡°Those two pets are so powerful.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all at Rank 4. Why can he fight the other party one on two?¡± ¡°Damn, it¡¯s awesome. That was a domain-type skill just now, right?¡± ¡°Not only does it absorb fire, but it also has a domain skill!¡± ¡°This pet is really too awesome.¡± The discussions around them rose and fell. Xue Shan heard it clearly, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to care. He looked at the battle in disbelief. How was this possible? How could Ye Fan¡¯s pet beasts be so powerful? Xue Shan was very confident in his pets. Every pet had been carefully nurtured by him. He was confident that they could defeat any fourth-rank pets. However, they couldn¡¯t defeat either of Ye Fan¡¯s pets in groups of two. This scene was a huge blow to him, so much so that he felt like he was dreaming and was in a daze for a while. An intense wail sounded, and Xue Shan¡¯s thoughts were suddenly brought back. He looked over in a daze and saw the Earth Digging Beast crying in pain. There was not a single piece of good flesh on its body. Its body was covered in dense wounds, and lightning kept flickering on the wounds, looking especially terrifying. Boom! The sound of something heavy falling to the ground rang out. There was no longer any vitality. Without the help of its companion, the Soil Tiger died in less than two minutes. In the blink of an eye, they were all lying on the ground without any vitality. On the other side, the battle of the Inferno Fire was about to end. The Shield Lion¡¯s entire body was charred black. It had long turned into charcoal and did not move at all. The Wild Horse struggled to hold on. A moment later, it was finally hit by a fierce flame and turned into minced meat. Pieces of meat scattered on the ground. The scene was incomparably miserable. The battle had clearly come to an end. Ye Fan had won. Xue Shan was in a daze. There was no color on his face as he stared at the scene in front of him, unable to say anything. The moment the outcome was decided, the audience was silent for a moment. Then, cheers instantly erupted like a tsunami. ¡°He won! He actually won!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even Xue Shan wouldn¡¯t be Ye Fan¡¯s match.¡± ¡°Ye Fan is now one of the top 16.¡± ¡°The record has been broken again. I told you he was the biggest dark horse this year.¡± Appreciation and exclamations rose and fell. No one had expected Ye Fan to really defeat Xue Shan, and in such a crushing manner. This undoubtedly proved that he was much stronger than Xue Shan. The most shocked people present were the fourth-year students. Although they had already imagined that Ye Fan¡¯s strength might be very high, the strength displayed by him at this moment far exceeded their imagination. They really did not know how this guy did it. ¡°He¡¯s clearly not even 20 years old, but his strength is shocking.¡± A fourth-year student could not help but sigh. This sentence said what everyone was thinking. They could not help but nod. This year¡¯s Inter-academy Tournament was really exciting. At this rate, Ye Fan might really enter the top eight. Under the admiring gazes of many people, Ye Fan glanced at the ashen-faced Xue Shan and calmly walked off the arena without saying anything. ¡°Fan!¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya greeted him happily. Their eyes lit up as they looked at Ye Fan, filled with worship and adoration. Chapter 100 - 100 Encountering the Potential Champion 100 Encountering the Potential Champion They had never imagined that Ye Fan would be able to defeat an elite fourth-year student like Xue Shan so easily. This simply shocked them too much. They had originally been somewhat interested in Ye Fan. Now that he was so outstanding, they were even more delighted. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er also looked at Ye Fan with shock. They did not expect this junior to really advance to the top 16. !! The first first-year student to advance to the top 16. With this achievement alone, Ye Fan was incomparable in the West Eagle Academy! He was the new dazzling star of West Eagle Academy. At the start of the Inter-academy Tournament, they had never imagined that Ye Fan would be able to reach this stage. This simply made everyone sigh in admiration. Forty minutes later, Shen Miao¡¯s competition ended. After the competition, she came to the Rose Society. The moment she saw Ye Fan, her smile bloomed. ¡°If we bump into each other in the next competition, you have to show mercy.¡± Xu Menghan and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this. In the end, they also laughed. There were not many people in the top 16. It was possible for Ye Fan to really fight her. At that time, it would really be teammates hitting one another. They thought that she was joking, but they did not know that this senior¡¯s words were sincere. Others might not know, but Shen Miao had a feeling that Ye Fan¡¯s true strength might be far greater than what he had shown. Not to mention anything else, just based on the fact that Ye Fan had only used two pets, this didn¡¯t match his Rank-4 Beast Tamer level at all. Ye Fan¡¯s extremely mysterious Cute Sparrow hadn¡¯t been summoned. If she really fought Ye Fan, she might not be able to win. ¡°I haven¡¯t been here for a few months. I didn¡¯t expect such a powerful new student to appear.¡± In the waiting area, Zhou Cheng¡¯s face flashed with emotion as he flipped through the list of the top 16. ¡°That¡¯s right. Right now, everyone is discussing this new student called Ye Fan. He¡¯s probably even more famous than you.¡± The people around them could not help but tease. Zhou Cheng smiled, and his other companion smiled. ¡°Because he¡¯s a first-year student, he received more attention. However, no one thinks that he can win the championship.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure. Only you know that? Who doesn¡¯t?¡± Everyone laughed and scolded each other. They stopped talking. The guy who spoke at first regained his seriousness. ¡°Although Ye Fan is very shocking, he¡¯s not our focus. Wang Feng and Duan Qing are the opponents you need to pay attention to.¡± In the fourth grade, Wang Feng and Duan Qing were the top three students of the same rank as Zhou Cheng. They were also the three people who were publicly recognized as the most likely to win the championship. Wang Feng and Duan Qing had already advanced to Rank 4 half a year ago. ¡°After this period of training, they¡¯ve probably grown a lot. Don¡¯t let your guard down.¡± At the mention of serious matters, Zhou Cheng¡¯s expression became much more serious. ¡°I will definitely defeat them. Don¡¯t worry,¡± he said very firmly. For the fourth-year students, this year¡¯s Inter-academy Tournament was the last. No matter what, he had to get first place and achieve his goal of becoming the top student of the academy. No matter who blocked him, he would defeat them without hesitation. The same conversation happened in the other two lounges, but the people involved were Wang Feng and Duan Qing. These were the three most outstanding students in the fourth year. At the same time, they were also the three strongest students in the West Eagle Academy. They had all tried their best to become the academy¡¯s top student. The fourth round of the competition ended at ten in the afternoon. Not long after, the list of the top 16 matches was out. Everyone in the Rose Society heaved a sigh of relief, as Ye Fan didn¡¯t have to fight Shen Miao. However, they then took a deep breath because Shen Miao was facing Zhou Cheng, the senior rumored to be the strongest in the academy. As for Ye Fan, he wasn¡¯t any luckier. His opponent was Wang Feng, one of the most popular candidates for the champion this year. After the name list was released, the atmosphere in the Rose Society was especially depressed. ¡°I¡¯m the one competing. Why are you all frowning?¡± Ye Fan looked at the frowning Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya and couldn¡¯t help but laugh and tease them. Xiao Qiuya said unhappily, ¡°Your opponent is Wang Feng. Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± ¡°Worrying is useless.¡± Ye Fan shrugged as if he didn¡¯t care at all. He had even killed a Rank 6 Black Dragon. It was very difficult for a mere fourth-year student to upset him. Xiao Qiuya asked Shen Miao, ¡°Senior, how strong is Wang Feng?¡± Shen Miao thought for a moment and slowly replied, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Ever since I advanced to the fourth grade, I¡¯ve almost never seen him. I don¡¯t know anything about him.¡± ¡°But no matter what, Wang Feng is definitely much stronger than Xue Shan. We can¡¯t rule out the possibility that his pet is at the peak of the fourth rank.¡± When Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya heard this, they looked at each other with even more worry. Chapter 101 - 101 Outstanding 101 Outstanding ¡°My goal is to become the champion. I won¡¯t stop at this level.¡± Ye Fan smiled. Hearing this, Shen Miao couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°I¡¯m relieved to see that you¡¯re in such a good mood.¡± After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone focused on the arena. Not long after, the staff informed Ye Fan to go on stage. !! Under their encouragement, Ye Fan walked towards the arena. As soon as they walked into the arena, the cheers and shouts around them shook the world. The sound echoed in the field for a long time. Wang Feng, who was just about to ascend the arena, was stunned. Then, he shook his head with some emotion. It could be seen that this Junior Brother Ye Fan was very popular. However, this was the school tournament. Popularity could not determine the outcome. Confidence flashed in Wang Feng¡¯s eyes as he walked firmly onto the arena. The shouts outside the arena became louder and louder. The biggest dark horse of this year¡¯s competition met the popular seed of the champion in advance. This was simply too exciting! Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement. ¡°Wow, this competition must be very exciting. I wonder who will win!¡± ¡°Wang Feng should have a higher chance of winning. Everyone knows his qualifications and strength.¡± ¡°What a pity. If Ye Fan had met someone else, he might win. He might really advance to the top eight.¡± ¡°But so what? Whether Ye Fan can continue to win or not, he¡¯s still very strong.¡± Indeed, regardless of whether Ye Fan could advance to the top eight, his performance so far was already shocking enough. As a first-year student, he entered the top 16 of the school tournament. Winning consecutively against Xue Shan, Sun Maomao, and the other Rank 4 Beast Tamers. This battle record was very illustrious! Even if he lost this match, it would be an honorable loss! The commotion outside the arena soared, but the arena was very quiet. Compared to the previous arena of the top 16, it was four to five times more spacious. Clearly, it had taken into account the changes in the participants¡¯ strength. 50 meters away, Wang Feng and Ye Fan looked at each other. One was calm, and the other was confident. Neither of them was at a disadvantage. The air was even more tense. As the countdown on the electronic screen ended, the atmosphere instantly reached its peak. Wang Feng was the first to summon his pets. Four figures appeared on the arena almost at the same time. A high-level Rank 4 Six-Shelled Beast¡­ A high-level Rank 4 West Eagle Beast. A peak Rank 4 Metal Armored Worm. A peak Rank 4 Human-Faced Ghost. Their attributes were different, but they were humanoid pets. Two of them had already reached the peak of the fourth rank. Their powerful auras filled the entire arena. As expected of the top three elite students of the fourth grade. Ye Fan sighed, but his movements weren¡¯t slow. He quickly summoned the Golden Sparrow, Cursed Fox, and Inferno Fire. Seeing the Golden Sparrow appear, many people were shocked! They looked at the rumored and mysterious Cute Sparrow on the stage. It had finally appeared! Wang Feng had inquired about Ye Fan¡¯s situation and knew of the Golden Sparrow¡¯s existence, but he didn¡¯t pay too much attention to it. At most, it was only a fourth-rank pet. No matter how strong it was, it couldn¡¯t be too good. Wang Feng attacked first. The Metal Armored Worm waved its spears and rushed towards the Cursed Fox with its long limbs. The Human-Faced Ghost, which looked exactly like a warrior, rushed towards the Inferno Fire with a shield. He had seen Ye Fan and Xue Shan¡¯s battle. The Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire had left a very deep impression on him. Therefore, he immediately had two pets at the peak of the fourth rank hold them back. The remaining Six-Shelled Beast and the West Eagle Beast attacked the Golden Sparrow. He planned to let them work together to deal with the Cute Sparrow first. Then, they would turn around and attack the Cursed Fox and the Inferno Fire. In the blink of an eye, the Six-Shelled Beast rushed in front of the Golden Sparrow. It waved its six arms. Each arm held an extremely sharp steel blade. They slashed at the Golden Sparrow from different directions, sealing all its escape routes. Even now, the Golden Sparrow was still standing in place in a daze, as if it had been stunned. That was it? Wasn¡¯t this too easy? Many of the audience were also dumbfounded. Under countless shocked gazes, the Six-Shelled Beast¡¯s steel sabers slashed heavily on Golden Sparrow¡¯s body without any obstruction. Clang! Clang! The crisp sound of metal colliding resounded in the arena. Wang Feng¡¯s eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the Golden Sparrow. He looked like he had seen a ghost. It actually did not hurt the Golden Sparrow at all? This was not a battle across ranks! They were both Rank 4! Yet the Six-Shelled Beast¡¯s attack could not cause any damage to the other party? Wang Feng rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating. Then, he looked at the Golden Sparrow, which suddenly waved his wings. Sharp blades shot out at the Six-Shelled Beast. Wherever the feather swords passed, they drew an ear-piercing sound in the air. The Six-Shelled Beast turned its body slightly and could not dodge in time. It was directly stabbed by the feather swords. The three arms on one side were instantly pierced by the feather swords. Blood gushed out, and screams of pain burst out of the Six-Shelled Beast¡¯s mouth. It kept retreating in fear, and a roar that was like a lion¡¯s suddenly sounded. Chapter 102 - 102 Undying? 102 Undying? Roar! The Six-Shelled Beast trembled uncontrollably and stood rooted to the ground. Before it could recover, the cold feather swords shot out again. Blood splattered, and it was instantly shot into a sieve. The people in the audience were stunned. In an instant, the feather swords shot out in all directions, and the Six-Shelled Beast died. Such a battle made everyone feel like they could not catch their breath all. Their vision was blurry! At this moment, the Human-Faced Ghost had unknowingly circled behind the Golden Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow did not dodge, and its cold sword accurately slashed at the Golden Sparrow¡¯s back. However, the result was the same as before. Other than a crisp sound, it did not cause any damage to the Golden Sparrow. It was clearly the first time the Human-Faced Ghost had seen the situation. It was stunned. Not far away, Wang Feng stood on the spot in disbelief. He could not believe that the high-level Rank-4 Six-Shelled Beast had been instantly killed. Originally, he had thought that among Ye Fan¡¯s three pet beasts, the weakest was the Cute Sparrow. He hadn¡¯t expected its true strength to be so powerful! For a moment, his heart sank. The Human-Faced Ghost was not comparable to the Rank-4 or 5 Golden Sparrow at all. It could not resist it in a short period of time. It was about to be shot to death by the Golden Sparrow¡¯s feather swords. Seeing this, Wang Feng finally reacted. His expression changed. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. In an instant, the Human-Faced Ghost, which was originally unable to withstand the Golden Sparrow¡¯s fierce attacks, suddenly roared angrily, and its entire body glowed with a dazzling red light. A terrifying aura instantly spread out, and its speed suddenly increased. The Golden Sparrow, which had always been in a daze, finally moved at this moment and suddenly dodged. However, the Human-Faced Ghost suddenly moved extremely quickly and hit its feathers with its scimitar. The scimitar broke through the thick defense. The scimitar suddenly became abnormally sharp and easily broke through the Golden Sparrow¡¯s defense, directly shattering its entire right arm. Following that, another slash cut off its legs. The Golden Sparrow, who had lost its legs, fell to the ground. After slashing twice, the human-faced beast seemed to have its life force instantly drained. Its flesh quickly withered and it instantly turned into a mummy. It lay on the ground, no longer breathing. A sacrificial skill! This was a bit interesting! Ye Fan sighed. Clearly, this was similar to the Inferno Fire¡¯s Self-Destruction skill. However, its power was much weaker. On the other side, Wang Feng heaved a sigh of relief. It was worth sacrificing the Human-faced Beast to make the Cute Sparrow lose its combat strength. Otherwise, if the battle continued, the Human-Faced Ghost would definitely follow in the footsteps of the Six-Shelled Beast. It was unknown what breed the Cute Sparrow was, but its combat strength was simply terrifying. Next, it was up to the Metal Armored Worm and the West Eagle Beast. He hoped that they could deal with the two pets. Wang Feng thought to this point and saw a scene that he would never forget. Not far away, the Golden Sparrow grabbed the severed legs that fell to the ground and pressed them on itself with a crack. Then, it stood up again. Simple cracking sounds rose one after another. The broken right arm grew back. After that, it directly returned to its uninjured state. Shocked, Wang Feng¡¯s eyes were about to pop out. What the hell was going on? The commotion in the surrounding audience instantly quietened down. Everyone opened their mouths and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. After a while, everyone came back to their senses and burst into commotion. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Why can they be reconnected when they¡¯re already cut off?¡± ¡°What skill is this?¡± ¡°This Cute Sparrow is simply immortal!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Not only is its defense terrifying, but it can also reconnect its limbs. How can we defeat it?¡± The discussions from all directions entered Wang Feng¡¯s ears. He was about to cry. That¡¯s right. How could he fight? Even a Rank-5 pet was not so abnormal, okay? This terrifying attack and defense, coupled with a talent that might be rebirth, was simply invincible! Even though he had experienced many battles and faced many powerful enemies, Wang Feng felt that he had never been more miserable. At this moment, the Golden Sparrow, which had recovered to its peak state, had already walked towards the Metal Armored Worm and the West Eagle Beast. The Cute Sparrow waved its hand, and stone Cute Sparrows appeared out of thin air, charging forward majestically. Now that Wang Feng was already numb, he did not know what to say. Golden Sparrow, Cursed Fox, Inferno Fire, and ten Peak Rank 3 Cute Sparrows. Against such a powerful lineup, they probably would even be able to defeat two fifth-rank pets, let alone the Metal Armored Worm and the West Eagle Beast, who were only at the peak of the fourth rank. In less than two minutes, they fell under the siege. As Wang Feng¡¯s pets wailed, the battle ended. The outcome was obvious. ¡°I lost.¡± Wang Feng sighed with a lonely expression. There was nothing to say. Ye Fan had completely relied on his powerful strength to defeat him. When he looked up at Ye Fan again, he found that even if Ye Fan won and would be qualified for the next round, ye Fan didn¡¯t have any excitement on his face. Clearly, his initial indifference as if victory was certain was within his expectations. Could it be that he didn¡¯t use his full strength? This thought suddenly appeared in Wang Feng¡¯s mind. Chapter 103 - 103 Exciting Battle 103 Exciting Battle Wang Feng thought about it carefully. This was not impossible. From the qualifiers until now, Ye Fan¡¯s performance had been unfathomable. Every time everyone thought that he was going all out, he would often reveal even greater strength. It was not the first or second time he had broken all the expectations of others. Almost every match was like this. Perhaps it was the same now. !! Wang Feng threw out his unnecessary thoughts. In any case, he had already lost. The competition was over. What happened next had nothing to do with him. It was useless to think about anything else. He took one last deep look at Ye Fan before turning to leave the arena. It was only at this moment that the audience erupted with the sound of a tsunami. The first match of the quarterfinals ended just like that, with an outcome that no one had expected. Wang Feng, the popular candidate for the championship, had actually lost to a first-year student. This was simply the most explosive news in the entire competition. Everyone had a new opinion of Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Even when Ye Fan returned to his seat, Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya still hadn¡¯t reacted. They looked at him in a daze. They were extremely cute. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but pinch their faces. Only then did the two of them softly cry out. ¡°To think that I was worried that you would lose. I was really thinking too much.¡± Although she was complaining, Xiao Qiuya¡¯s face was filled with joy. Chen Xin was also grinning foolishly. She had been shocked countless times in the past few days. Now, she was actually a little numb. Other than joy, she couldn¡¯t say anything else. Xu Menghan and Song Wan¡¯er looked at Ye Fan, their eyes also shining. There was no other reason, but that Ye Fan was simply too shocking. A few minutes after the competition ended, the entire plaza was immersed in the enthusiastic atmosphere brought about by Ye Fan¡¯s victory. Everyone was discussing. In the corner of the field, Xue Shan sat in his seat in a daze, his face ashen. He had suffered a huge blow. All of this was because of the duel that had just ended. Although he had lost the previous competition, he was still unwilling to accept it. He felt that he had underestimated Ye Fan. He had been careless, which was why he had lost. If he had fought again, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have lost. But after watching that match just now, Xue Shan realized that Ye Fan hadn¡¯t taken him seriously at all. He hadn¡¯t even taken out half of his strength. Otherwise, if Ye Fan had directly summoned the Cute Sparrow in that competition, he would not have the chance to resist. This fact dealt a huge blow to Xue Shan, and he was very dispirited. Of course, the fourth-year elite students were also shocked, especially Zhou Cheng and Duan Qing. They had always regarded Wang Feng as a troublesome opponent. They all wanted to defeat him in the competition, but before they could meet him, he had lost to a first-year student in the top 16? How could this not shock them? For a moment, everyone was shocked. Ye Fan¡¯s position in their hearts had also changed from an opponent that wasn¡¯t worth paying attention to to a challenger that they had to pay attention to. The advancement competition continued. As expected, Shen Miao lost to Zhou Cheng and regrettably stopped at the top 16. What a pity. ¡°With Senior Shen Miao¡¯s strength, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to enter the top eight. It¡¯s even possible for her to enter the top four, but she met Zhou Cheng.¡± Xu Menghan¡¯s face was filled with regret. Shen Miao smiled without any unwillingness. She comforted her. ¡°Luck is also a part of strength.¡± She turned to look at Ye Fan and solemnly said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you now.¡± If there was anyone who could fight Zhou Cheng, it would be Ye Fan. The other popular candidate, Duan Qing, was actually not as strong as Zhou Cheng. She did not think that Duan Qing could defeat Zhou Cheng. On the contrary, Ye Fan, whom she thought highly of, was very unpredictable. Perhaps there would be a new turn of events. In the afternoon, the top eight matches were held on time. At this time, everyone already understood that the championship would only be won by Zhou Cheng, Ye Fan, or Duan Qing. Unless the three of them fought, there was nothing interesting about the other matches. Unfortunately, they hadn¡¯t met in the quarterfinals. Ye Fan¡¯s opponent was an elite student ranked in the top ten of the fourth grade. His strength was on par with Xue Shan¡¯s. Compared to Wang Feng, he was a bit weaker. When he learned that his opponent was Ye Fan, that contestant¡¯s face immediately fell. Even Wang Feng wasn¡¯t Ye Fan¡¯s match, so he felt that he was even less of a match for Ye Fan. Halfway through the competition, after confirming that his pets were no match for Ye Fan¡¯s, the fourth-year student decisively chose to admit defeat. In the evening, the list of the top four was released. Zhou Cheng, Duan Qing, Ye Fan, and Cheng Chan¡¯s names were also released. Duan Qing faced Cheng Chan. Ye Fan fought Zhou Cheng. This name list caused quite a stir. The two popular contestants met in advance. The entire West Eagle Academy was in an uproar. Everyone was looking forward to tomorrow¡¯s competition. Chapter 104 - 104 Poaching 104 Poaching On the second day. When Ye Fan arrived at the waiting area, he found someone waiting for him. ¡°Ye Fan, you¡¯ve really made me proud this time.¡± The homeroom teacher, Ding Peiliang, looked at him with joy. In truth, he didn¡¯t really care that Ye Fan was participating in the school tournament at first. !! After all, according to the situation in previous years, first-year students were only participating in the competition to gain some experience. There was almost no one who could pass the qualifiers. Who would have thought that Ye Fan would actually be able to fight his way into the semifinals? This simply shocked him. Even the board of directors of the academy knew about this matter. They specially met Ding Peiliang to ask about Ye Fan and praised him for his good education. Because of this matter, Ding Peiliang was so excited last night that he almost didn¡¯t sleep. Now, he already treated Ye Fan as his lucky star. No matter how he looked at Ye Fan, he was satisfied. ¡°In the finals, the higher-ups of the other academies and some big shots outside the school will come to watch. You have to perform well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Teacher.¡± When Xiao Qiuya heard this, she said, ¡°Ah Fan is not weaker than Zhou Cheng. He will definitely win the championship.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After the previous competition, the two of them were now extremely confident in Ye Fan. Ding Peiliang looked at Xiao Qiuya and then at Chen Xin, puzzled. Chen Xin was one thing, but since when had Ye Fan walked with Xiao Qiuya? Moreover, from their performance, it was obvious that they had a good impression of Ye Fan. Ye Fan had a very good relationship with both of them. A love triangle? One woman on each side? The love life of young people nowadays was really complicated. Ding Peiliang sighed inwardly and encouraged him again before leaving in a hurry. He rushed to welcome the dean. More than ten minutes later, the VIP area at the top welcomed a group of people. The leader was Song Zhao, the dean of the West Eagle Academy, who was accompanied by two middle-aged men. When their gazes landed on them, the students could not help but be shocked. ¡°Damn, isn¡¯t that President Xia Ke of the Adventurer¡¯s Association and Lieutenant General Hu Yan of the military?¡± ¡°Why are big shots of their level here?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? They clearly came to see Ye Fan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s amazing that a first-year student made it to the finals.¡± ¡°The big shots must be curious too.¡± Everyone understood. That was true. This year¡¯s competition was shocking. With a genius like Ye Fan, it was no wonder that the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the military were attracted. In the past, there would at most be a vice president. The following competition would definitely be very interesting. ¡°Yes, I was already looking forward to it yesterday.¡± After yesterday¡¯s competition, everyone had a new understanding of Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Even if he couldn¡¯t compare to Zhou Cheng, he definitely wasn¡¯t much weaker. Once they fought, the two of them would definitely present a splendid performance! It was abnormally exciting! At the thought of seeing an extremely exciting battle, the audience in the audience could not help but be excited. They wished that the competition would begin immediately! The higher-ups of the academy chatted happily with the guests. ¡°Your academy is getting better and better. You actually have such an outstanding seedling,¡± Xia Ke said with a smile after looking around the field. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Hu Yan, who was beside him, agreed with a smile. ¡°I heard that a very powerful first-year student from West Eagle Academy entered the semi-finals this year.¡± Hu Yan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He had seen countless geniuses in the military, but he had never seen a Beast Tamer advance to Rank-4 before the age of 20. When he first heard about this, he thought that he was old and had a problem with his ears. After confirming it many times, he finally believed that it was true. Xia Ke looked at Hu Yan with a smile. Although the West Eagle Academy¡¯s tournament was a grand event, it was not enough for him and Hu Yan to come and watch at the same time. With their statuses, they would only participate in a competition of higher levels. The reason they were attending this time was mainly because a monstrous genius like Ye Fan had appeared in the academy. A Rank-4 Beast Tamer who was not even 20 years old. He had never seen such a monstrous young man in so many years. When he heard this, he immediately wanted to recruit him. It had been many years since the Adventurer¡¯s Association had found an outstanding newcomer. This time, he would definitely not let such an outstanding newcomer off. If they recruited him into the Adventurer¡¯s Association, they would not have to worry about the lack of talents in the next 20 years. I remember that this guy called Ye Fan seems to be in the same society as Qiuya. I have to ask Qiuya when I get back. I have to get in touch with him as soon as possible! Xia Ke quickly came up with a plan. Glancing at Hu Yan, he was even more certain that he wanted to recruit Ye Fan. A dignified lieutenant general had specially come to watch the West Eagle Academy¡¯s tournament. Everyone knew what he was thinking. Xia Ke had to successfully recruit Ye Fan into the Adventurer¡¯s Association before he did. Chapter 105 - 105 New Mission 105 New Mission Song Zhao warmly smiled. ¡°I¡¯m also very surprised. I¡¯ve never seen a student with such outstanding talent like Ye Fan. No matter what the outcome is this time, the West Eagle Academy will definitely nurture him.¡± Xia Ke and Hu Yan nodded in agreement. Such a talent was rare! They had to take good care of him! ¡°No matter what, we came to the right place today. The two contestants are very outstanding Beast Tamers. Next, we can see a very exciting competition.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. !! At this moment, whether it was the academy¡¯s higher-ups or the students, they were all looking forward to the upcoming competition. Evenly matched opponents! An all-out battle! This kind of battle was often breathtaking! At this moment, Ye Fan, who was chatting with the four girls of the Rose Society, fiercely sneezed. He rubbed the tip of his nose in confusion. Why did he feel like he was being talked about? Before he could understand, he suddenly heard the familiar beeping sound. Beep. Mission issued. Crushing! Defeat your opponent quickly in the semi-finals. Time limit: 10 seconds. You can obtain 500 evolution points! Why did such a mission suddenly appear? Ye Fan was startled. He browsed through the information. He raised his eyebrows. Defeating his opponent in ten seconds was really a strange mission. Ye Fan was now gradually beginning to understand the rules of missions. Whether it was a competition mission or a mystic realm mission, they were all issued according to the situation at that time. Ye Fan looked at the excited students around him, revealing a thoughtful expression. In any case, since there was a mission, he would complete it first. At this moment, Xiao Qiuya tugged at his sleeve. ¡°Fan¡¯s competition is about to begin.¡± He followed the girl¡¯s gaze and saw that the arena had been set up. The staff was waving at him. Seeing the staff¡¯s appearance, Ye Fan nodded. Under their encouragement, he got up and walked towards the arena. On the other side, Zhou Cheng also walked out of the waiting area. Under countless excited gazes, the two of them stepped onto the arena at the same time. Just as he stood still, Zhou Cheng subconsciously straightened his body and took a deep breath. A light flashed in his eyes as he raised his head and firmly looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. His expression was calm, as if what was about to come wasn¡¯t an intense and troublesome competition, but just a friendly sparring. Seeing him like this, Xia Ke, Hu Yan, and the others couldn¡¯t help but sigh. In terms of mental fortitude, Ye Fan was clearly superior to Zhou Cheng. The countdown appeared on the electronic screen, indicating that the competition was about to begin. Xiao Qiuya and Chen Xin stared nervously at the screen, their fists clenched tightly. The atmosphere on the field gradually became tense. Everyone looked at the arena without blinking, afraid that they would miss anything. Finally, the countdown reached zero. Zhou Cheng¡¯s gaze turned cold as he quickly summoned his pets. Zhou Cheng had already displayed his four pets during the battle with Shen Miao. A high-level Rank 4 Ghost Hound. An Ancient Towering Tree at the peak of Rank 4. A peak Rank-4 Climbing Grass. A Peak Rank 4 Sunflower. In terms of lineup, Zhou Cheng was indeed stronger than Wang Feng. Ye Fan sized up the four pets opposite him. What was surprising was that Zhou Cheng¡¯s pets had very complicated attributes. The Ancient Towering Tree and the Climbing Grass were wood-type pets. The Ghost Hound was a dark-type pet. The Sunflower had the opposite holy attribute. In order to let pets cooperate in battle and release higher combat strength, most Beast Tamers would specialize in one or two attributes. There were very few existences with as many attributes as Zhou Cheng, and they even restrained each other. Of course, in terms of multiple attributes, Ye Fan didn¡¯t have the qualifications to say anything about the other party. Just as everyone thought that Zhou Cheng¡¯s summoning had ended¡­ Light shot out in front of him. A new pet had actually appeared. Seeing this scene, everyone understood what it meant. The fifth pet! Zhou Cheng had advanced to a Rank-5 Beast Tamer! ¡°Damn, why didn¡¯t I hear anything before?¡± Seeing that it was a Fanged Elephant, waves of exclamations continuously sounded. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the huge ferocious beast in the arena. It was a three-meter-tall elephant covered in horn. Its long fangs protruded and pointed at the sky. Fanged Elephant, an intermediate fifth-rank pet! The atmosphere in the square instantly became lively again. Even Song Zhao and the others in the VIP area revealed surprise. They had never expected Zhou Cheng to silently break through to Rank-5. Moreover, it had never been revealed until now. Ye Fan was in a bad situation. This thought flashed through everyone¡¯s minds at the same time. The strength of a Rank-5 Beast Tamer was not something a Rank-4 Beast Tamer could compare to. Not to mention the difference in the number of Beast Tamers, just the Fanged Elephant alone. No matter how hard a fourth-rank pet tried, it could not win. Chapter 106 - 106 You Will Lose 106 You Will Lose ¡°Zhou Cheng is already a Rank-5 Beast Tamer. He hid himself too well.¡± ¡°The outcome is obvious now.¡± ¡°What a pity. I originally thought that Ye Fan had a chance of winning the championship.¡± The discussions from all directions made Xu Menghan frown. !! Her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Ye Fan. However, when she saw that Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya were both very relaxed, she couldn¡¯t help but become curious. ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried at all?¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya looked at each other and smiled. ¡°We believe in Ah Fan.¡± ¡°But Zhou Cheng is a Rank-5 Beast Tamer now.¡± Xu Menghan was very surprised to see the two of them so confident. Previously, the two of them had been so nervous about Ye Fan. Why were they so calm now? It was simply incomprehensible! ¡°Senior Sister, look, Ah Fan isn¡¯t panicking at all. Why should we?¡± Chen Xin smiled. Hearing this, Shen Menghan looked at Ye Fan¡¯s face. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm, as if the person in front of him wasn¡¯t a Rank-5 Beast Tamer at all. It was as if he was facing a previous contestant, not afraid at all. Could it be that Ye Fan had other trump cards? Xu Menghan couldn¡¯t help but wonder. ¡°This Fanged Elephant is my trump card. I originally planned to use it to deal with Wang Feng or Duan Qing in the finals.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be used at this time.¡± In the arena, Zhou Cheng stroked the Fanged Elephant and said in a deep voice. ¡°I¡¯m very honored.¡± Ye Fan nodded and smiled. His calm appearance stunned Zhou Cheng. For some reason, a strange feeling surged in Zhou Cheng¡¯s heart when he saw him like this. But no matter how he thought about it, he didn¡¯t know where this thought came from. At this moment, Ye Fan also summoned his pet beasts. With a flash of light, the Inferno Fire appeared on the arena. Zhou Cheng waited for a long time, but didn¡¯t see any other pets appear. He couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°You only summoned one pet?¡± ¡°One is enough.¡± Ye Fan gestured with his finger. When Zhou Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his entire face turned red, and his expression became very fierce! Ye Fan was clearly humiliating him. He had a fifth-rank pet and four fourth-rank pets! Even if Ye Fan went all out, he probably didn¡¯t have any chance of winning! Let alone summoning a fourth-rank pet beast. His actions were undoubtedly humiliating him! The audience also looked at each other. No one understood what Ye Fan was up to. Could it be that he felt that he could not win and gave up? Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Zhou Cheng didn¡¯t waste any more time. He directly let the five pets attack. The Fanged Elephant was the first to charge, ruthlessly smashing into Ye Fan. Every heavy step left a rumbling sound on the arena. The sound was especially loud, and the entire arena seemed to be trembling with its running. The other four pet beasts also aggressively followed behind, ruthlessly pressing down on Ye Fan. Facing such a ferocious lineup, Ye Fan didn¡¯t panic at all. He nodded at the Inferno Fire. ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± The human-like facial features of the Inferno Fire outlined an aggrieved expression. When it was the only beast summoned, it knew what it had to do. Although it felt regretful, it could not disobey the order. It rushed towards the enemy. The action of the Inferno Fire taking the initiative to attack calmed Zhou Cheng down. His anger also dissipated. He only thought that Ye Fan was planning to give up and was too embarrassed to directly admit defeat. That was why Ye Fan only sent a pet beast to fight. Such a rash move was simply courting death. Sigh, he was indeed too young. Zhou Cheng thought to himself. Suddenly, his pupils dilated! He was stunned! He saw the Inferno Fire that rushed towards the Fanged Elephant emitting scorching flames from its entire body. In an instant, it expanded like a small sun. A scorching aura swept through the entire arena. The temperature of the air kept rising at an extremely terrifying speed. A strong sense of danger surged in Zhou Cheng¡¯s heart. At this moment, he subconsciously made the best decision. He immediately cast the Guardian Soul on himself and raised his defense to the highest. In the next moment, red light instantly bloomed and occupied the entire arena. Explosions suddenly sounded in the arena, and the shock wave exploded in circles. Amidst the intense flames, the entire arena was drowned. Before the Fanged Elephant and other pets could react, they were instantly swept away by the scorching flames. The aftershock of the explosion lasted for a long time. The flames and dust gradually dissipated, and the scene in the arena slowly appeared. The five pets in the arena were all wiped out by the flames, not leaving a trace. A black pit was left on the empty arena. Zhou Cheng opened his mouth and looked at the deep pit in a daze. The surroundings immediately fell silent. Everyone stared at the arena in shock, unable to say a word for a long time. Chapter 107 - 107 Flame 107 Flame Everyone¡¯s mouths were wide open as they stood rooted to the ground. When the previous competitions ended, everyone would definitely be very excited. At this moment, none of them knew what to say. Even Song Zhao, Xia Ke, and Hu Yan were very shocked by the scene in front of them. They had thought that it would be a very exciting battle, but the battle ended so simply. It seemed like less than ten seconds had passed since the start of the competition. This result had really exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination. !! They never expected the competition to end like this. Seeing Ye Fan on the arena, everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh that this person was truly too powerful. Zhou Cheng stood where he was. Fortunately, he had strengthened the Guardian Soul in time. Coupled with the fact that he was a distance away from the center of the explosion, he was not injured. Although he was not physically injured, he felt that he had suffered a serious mental blow. He could not recover from the shock at all. His trump card that he was originally very confident in was easily destroyed. This was very difficult for him to accept. After a long time, he stared fixedly at Ye Fan. His mouth opened, wanting to say something, but he couldn¡¯t say anything. With a swoosh, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years. He let out a long sigh and walked down the arena dispiritedly. Only then did the audience realize that the result was out. Instantly, thunderous cheers resounded throughout the field. Everyone was clapping with all their might, venting the shock in their hearts. For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Fan with shock and worship. ¡°Looks like we underestimated him,¡± Song Zhao sighed. The people around him could not help but nod. ¡°That¡¯s right. Previously, they all felt that Ye Fan was very powerful, but they didn¡¯t expect that this wasn¡¯t his full strength!¡± It was not until just now that they saw what true strength was! Xia Ke¡¯s eyes sparkled as he looked at Ye Fan. He looked at Ye Fan as if he was looking at a treasure. This was a genius, a true genius! If he could rope him in to the Adventurer¡¯s Association, the Adventurer¡¯s Association would definitely become stronger! Hu Yan, who was beside him, thought the same. He had already made up his mind that he would immediately come into contact with Ye Fan after he went back. He had to recruit this genius into the army! The other spectators who had been invited to watch the academy competition also looked at Ye Fan with sparkling eyes, looking like they were determined to get him. Such an outstanding young Beast Tamer was someone all factions wanted to fight over. Everyone¡¯s thoughts raced, but no one said anything. On the arena, Ye Fan raised one of arms, and a small red ball of light landed in his hand. The slight heat in his palm made the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitch. He thought for a moment. ¡°Is this the Fire Seedling?¡± From the flame, he felt that it wanted to receive the fire elemental energy. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you a lot of Fire Crystals soon.¡± After comforting it, Ye Fan returned to the waiting area. ¡°Ah Fan, you¡¯re too awesome.¡± Ye Fan had just walked in when the fragrance instantly assaulted his nose. A warm embrace pressed against him. Chen Xin¡¯s pretty face was flushed with excitement. Xiao Qiuya looked at her, her eyes shining. She had originally planned to hug him directly. However, Xiao Yan was sitting in the VIP area. If her father saw her hugging a man in public, she would be dead. Therefore, she could only look at Chen Xin enviously. ¡°Junior, the championship is yours now.¡± Shen Miao walked over, followed by Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er. Their expressions were filled with curiosity and amazement. To be honest, they had previously thought that Ye Fan would be able to defeat Zhou Cheng, but they had never imagined that the outcome would be like this. That world-shaking explosion simply destroyed the entire arena. One could imagine how terrifying the power was. She even suspected that if a sixth-rank pet was in the center of the explosion at that time, it would lose its combat strength even if it didn¡¯t die. What kind of ability was so strong? Shen Miao, Xu Menghan, and Su Wan¡¯er were all very surprised. They wanted to ask Ye Fan, but they were too embarrassed to. After all, this was a very private question. Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya weren¡¯t surprised at all. Back in the Fate Arena, Chen Xin had already known that Ye Fan knew this move. Now that they looked at it again, they were not that shocked. As for Xiao Qiuya, Chen Xin had told her. Ye Fan focused on the following match. The second match of the semifinals was between Duan Qing and Chen Yue. Both sides were elite fourth-year students with similar strength, so their battle was very exciting. Even so, the cheers weren¡¯t as loud as Ye Fan¡¯s. After seeing Ye Fan¡¯s outstanding performance, everyone felt that there was something missing from their competition. Under such a strange atmosphere, Duan Qing had a slight advantage over Chen Yue. Chapter 108 - 108 Champion 108 Champion In order to let the participants¡¯ pets rest enough, the finals would be held on the second day. Ye Fan didn¡¯t say much to the Rose Society before leaving the center of the field. On the way home, he took the time to buy a large number of Fire Crystals from the nearby pet store. After returning home, he summoned the Fire Seedling and carefully checked the status of the Inferno Fire. !! A countdown appeared on his interface. This was the time needed to completely recover! Ye Fan roughly calculated in his heart. Ever since the Inferno Fire self-destructed, it needed about seven hours to revive. The cooldown time was much shorter than before. Ye Fan thought about it. There were two main reasons for the change of cooldown. One was its level. The higher the rank, the longer the resurrection. The other was the Beast Tamer¡¯s soul power. The more soul power there was, the shorter the resurrection time. As for Ye Fan, after eating the fruit soul, his soul power was already five times that of before. This was also the reason why the recovery time of the Inferno Fire was greatly reduced. After coming back to his senses, he stuffed Fire Crystals into the Fire Seedling¡¯s mouth one after another. As he fed it, he paid attention to the changes in time. Every time the Fire Seedling ate a Fire Crystal, the recovery time on the interface decreased by an hour. When he fed the tenth crystal, the Fire Seedling quickly expanded into the Inferno Fire. After it took shape, the Inferno Fire danced excitedly in the living room. Ye Fan sighed in relief. It had finally been revived. Thinking about it this way, tomorrow¡¯s competition wouldn¡¯t be a problem. However, he felt a little pained. 10 Fire Crystals were worth more than 40,000 credit points. He had practically spent all the profits he had obtained from hunting outside the city. Although it didn¡¯t need any evolution points, he couldn¡¯t use credit points like this. Ye Fan felt his heart ache as he thought about this. On the second day, the center of the field was filled with people. It was even more lively than yesterday. After hearing about yesterday¡¯s competition, many people ran over to see Ye Fan¡¯s performance. When Ye Fan stepped onto the arena, the cheers from all directions were deafening. The enthusiastic atmosphere lingered over the entire field. Seeing this, Duan Qing wore a bitter expression. He was under a lot of pressure facing such an opponent. The competition would begin soon. Duan Qing summoned his pet beasts and nervously looked at Ye Fan. When he saw Ye Fan summon three pet beasts, including the Inferno Fire from yesterday, his eyes couldn¡¯t hide his disappointment. Although yesterday¡¯s self-destruction technique was incomparably powerful, this pet had already lost its ability to fight. It would probably be very difficult for Ye Fan to use it a second time. If that was the case, he was confident that he could defeat Ye Fan. However, the moment the Inferno Fire appeared, his hope was completely destroyed. The following development was the same. His strength was comparable to Wang Feng¡¯s. At his peak, Ye Fan didn¡¯t need self-destruction to gain the upper hand. Not long after, the battle ended with Ye Fan¡¯s victory. Cheers came from all directions. Since the establishment of West Eagle Academy, the only first-year champion was born. ¡°Beep. Mission Secure Championship completed. Reward: 1,000 evolution points.¡± The notification in his mind caused surprise to flash across Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. He had finally completed this mission. He had spent so much effort and time. Fortunately, the reward was very considerable. The evolution points that were about to be used up were abundant again. He was instantly confident. Next, he had to improve the Golden Sparrow. He had to let the Golden Sparrow evolve as soon as possible, he did not want to rely on the self-destruction of the Inferno Fire to salvage the situation every time he fought with others. The price was too high, and it was unfair to the Inferno Fire. The Inter-academy Tournament had ended, but there were still many things to do in the future. To Ye Fan, the most important thing was the reward for becoming the champion. Before he could receive his reward and everyone¡¯s congratulations, he arrived at the podium. As the champion, Ye Fan naturally became the focus of the crowd. ¡°You¡¯re the most outstanding student I¡¯ve seen since I founded the school.¡± When Song Zhao handed the trophy to Ye Fan, he smiled, his tone filled with unconcealed praise. ¡°I hope you can become a pillar of the federation.¡± ¡°Definitely!¡± Ye Fan firmly nodded. With the system in hand, he could definitely stand at the top of this world. Song Zhao nodded in relief. ¡°100,000 credit points will be transferred to your card. As for the other prizes, you have two options.¡± ¡°The first is for you to choose a suitable egg on your own. As long as the pet¡¯s rank doesn¡¯t exceed the fourth rank and its potential is between the fourth to the ninth rank, the academy can buy it for you as a prize for winning the championship.¡± As soon as he said this, the instructors who were listening seriously beside him revealed strange expressions. A pet with the upper limit of Rank 9 was very precious! Chapter 109 - 109 Prize 109 Prize In the past years, although the rewards for winning the championship of the West Eagle Academy¡¯s tournament were also very rich, the upper limit was at most Rank 8. But now, it had been directly raised to the ninth rank by Song Zhao! This was enough to show his support for Ye Fan. However, on second thought, they were not so surprised. After all, this was a first-year student. A mere first-year student could defeat so many seniors. It was not unreasonable for such a monstrous genius to be valued so much. !! Ye Fan no longer paid attention to the changes in the expressions of the people around him. Song Zhao continued, ¡°The second is for you to pick an egg collected in the academy¡¯s storage. The eggs are even rarer than those outside.¡± ¡°However, there are relatively few of them. It¡¯s very likely that you won¡¯t be able to choose a suitable pet. There are advantages and disadvantages to both choices. You can think about it seriously. You don¡¯t have to give me an answer now.¡± When Ye Fan heard this, he directly replied, ¡°Principal, I choose the second type.¡± He had already checked the pet stores, but he still couldn¡¯t find a pet suitable for him. Since that was the case, he would directly use the second method. If he could find a suitable one in the academy¡¯s storeroom, that would naturally be the best. If he couldn¡¯t, it wouldn¡¯t be bad to choose the most valuable one and sell it for credit points. In any case, he wouldn¡¯t lose out. Song Zhao was a little surprised by his decisiveness, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at him deeply. He looked at Ding Peiliang and said, ¡°Take Ye Fan to the storeroom.¡± Ding Peiliang immediately nodded in agreement. Soon, Ye Fan followed Ding Peiliang. The two of them arrived in front of a building. The wall looked ancient, but it was very impressive. There were also some grasses crawling on it. It was difficult to imagine that such a place was a storage room. It looked very ordinary. Ding Peiliang seemed to have seen what he was thinking and explained, ¡°This place looks ordinary, but there are many traps. If you want to sneak in, you¡¯ll be seriously wounded.¡± Ye Fan nodded. A place like this to nurture Beast Tamers looked very ordinary, but in reality, it was very strict. Although this storage room looked very ordinary, it was inside the West Eagle Academy. The security must be very tight. After going through several procedures, the door finally opened. The moment Ye Fan walked through the door, Ye Fan felt as if he had transmigrated. The inside and outside were simply two different worlds, and this made him firmly believe that this place was extraordinary. He was more confident in the pets he could choose next. Ding Peiliang brought him to a room with many cabinets. He pointed at the densely packed cabinets and said, ¡°These are all inside. You can choose one by yourself. It can¡¯t exceed Rank 4.¡± Ding Peiliang did not mention the upper limit, but on second thought, it made sense. Those whose upper limits were higher than Rank 9 were only at the King Rank. How could such a pet be placed here? Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood. He began to check one by one. Most of them were marked with information about pets, but some of them only had names and attributes. The rest of the information was unknown. But to Ye Fan, this wasn¡¯t a problem at all. No pet beast had any secrets from the system. His gaze swept across them one by one. Information about the pets brushed past his mind. Ye Fan was very serious and looked very carefully. Even if it was only a Rank-1 or Rank-2 pet, he would carefully look at them one by one. Who knew if any of these pets had hidden evolution routes? However, what disappointed Ye Fan was that there were very few of them. Even the most outstanding pet only had the potential of the eighth rank. Time passed minute by minute, but Ding Peiliang was still patient. He just stood at the side and did not rush Ye Fan. Soon, Ye Fan arrived at the innermost cabinets. The pets here were all special. The evolution paths of the pets inside were all very strange, and a few didn¡¯t even have names. He looked over and a line of words appeared in front of him. Vampire Dark Night High-level, Rank 5 15% Can see through all creatures in the darkness. Charm Immunity. Magic Attack Proficiency. Blood Absorption, Blood Irrigation, Dark Elf Summoning, Swordsmanship Fearlessness. The next stage of Fearlessness requires 100% growth, 50 Ultimate Dark Crystals, and one Fallen. He had finally found one with the upper limit of the King Rank. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at the vampire and said to Li Peiliang, ¡°This is it, Teacher.¡± Ding Peiliang walked over and looked at it. He kindly suggested, ¡°I suggest you choose another pet.¡± ¡°This vampire is very special. It¡¯s different from other vampires. Ordinary evolution methods don¡¯t apply to it. Moreover, it has a very powerful curse.¡± ¡°This curse has greatly weakened its energy. We¡¯ve tried many ways but haven¡¯t been able to resolve it.¡± So Ding Peiliang truly felt that it wasn¡¯t suitable for Ye Fan. But since Ye Fan had already decided, Ding Peiliang couldn¡¯t say anything in the end. Under normal circumstances, Beast Tamers could only contract pets of the same level as them. In short, Ye Fan could originally only contract pets at the peak of the fourth rank, and the vampire under the curse happened to be in this realm. Therefore, he could directly contract it now. It was also because he had contracted a fifth-rank pet that he directly broke through to the fifth rank. Now, Ye Fan was a Rank-5 Beast Tamer. Chapter 110 - 110 Invitation 110 Invitation ¡°Looks like I have to find more high-level pets in the future. This way, I can quickly increase my strength.¡± Ye Fan summoned his personal interface. Name: Ye Fan Grade: Rank 5 !! Soul Power: 15,000/15,000 Soul Skills: Guardian Soul Lv5 (0/150), Soul Lock Lv5 (0/150), Soul Power Impact Lv5 (0/120) Pets: Golden Sparrow, Inferno Fire, Cursed Fox, Vampire Evolution Points: 880 ¡°My Soul Points actually increased to 15,000. Not bad.¡± Ye Fan smiled and nodded. He had just contracted a new pet, and now there was a new slot. However, there was no need to be anxious about the fifth pet. He would take his time to find it. He definitely could not find a random one. Now, raising the level of the other three pets to Level 5 was the most important thing. Ye Fan thought to himself and closed the interface. After summoning the vampire, he first saw what it looked like. A ball of blood-red fog suddenly appeared in front of him. After the mist dissipated, an exquisite girl with her eyes closed appeared. The girl was devastatingly beautiful. Her skin was fair and scarlet, her black and shiny hair was like silk, and her lips were bright. Her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was asleep. Her figure was even more impressive and very seductive, giving off an extreme temptation. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Her purple pupils were very bewitching. She reached out her snow-white hands and combed her hair. Then, the blood-red fog instantly turned into a bright red fishtail dress, making her look even more noble and cold. Even though the expression on her face was cold, it did not ruin her beauty at all. Instead, it made her look even more noble and elegant. The girl looked around, finally landing on Ye Fan. She opened her cherry lips slightly. ¡°Master.¡± The girl nodded at Ye Fan. Then, without saying a word, she stood rooted to the ground. Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. This was the first time he had seen a pet beast that could communicate with him. Even pets like the Golden Sparrow and the Inferno Fire that could reach the king level could only communicate with him with their minds. Moreover, sometimes, he had no idea what they were talking about in complicated languages. It seemed that this pet was very powerful! Ye Fan calculated in his heart. He looked at it and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Young Ni glanced at him. ¡°Natasha Slicka.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows. So she really did have a name. It seemed that she was indeed very special. On the second day, Ye Fan woke up very early. He walked towards the Rose Society, planning to ask Xu Menghan, Xiao Qiuya, and the others about the ten-thousand-year-old bone. If he knew where it was, he could directly collect it. However, before he could reach the Rose Society, he saw two men with extraordinary auras. One of them was dressed simply, and the other was wearing a military uniform. They were talking to Xu Menghan and the others. When the man in the military uniform saw Ye Fan, he quickly walked over with a smile on his face. ¡°Are you Mr. Ye? Hello, my name is He Zhou. I¡¯m a second lieutenant from the Military General Office.¡± Another man quickly squeezed over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Ye. I¡¯m an officer of the Adventurer¡¯s Association. My name is Wang Rong.¡± Ye Fan was startled when he saw the two of them. The Military General Office was the special department of the military that managed Beast Tamers. Why were they looking for him? Thinking about it a thousand times, Ye Fan calmly stretched out his hand and asked them, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wang Rong immediately spoke first. ¡°Mr. Ye, we want to invite you to join the Adventurer¡¯s Association and become a member.¡± Ye Fan was startled for a moment before replying, ¡°I¡¯m just a first-year student.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s not rare for first-year students to become adventurers. Even if you want to be an officer of the Adventurer¡¯s Association, you can do it.¡± ¡°Our president said that the job is only nominal and you don¡¯t have to participate in actual work. We¡¯ll talk about everything after you graduate from West Eagle Academy.¡± Wang Rong¡¯s face was about to wrinkle from smiling as he spoke. ¡°Of course, the benefits will definitely not be little. I guarantee that you won¡¯t regret it.¡± When He Zhou heard him say this, he could not take it anymore. He also said, ¡°Mr. Ye, I¡¯m here on behalf of the Military General Office. We sincerely hope that you can join our organization.¡± ¡°We can give you what they can give you and what they can¡¯t.¡± At this point, the two of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces. However, anyone could tell how strong the hostility between the two of them was. Seeing them like this, * How could Ye Fan not understand what the two of them were here for? They were clearly trying to rope him in. When Chen Xin and the others saw this, their eyes more or less revealed envy. In the first year, there was probably no one in the entire city who could make the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the Military General Office so eager and offer such superior conditions. It had to be Ye Fan! He was indeed powerful! But to everyone¡¯s surprise, Ye Fan directly refused. Chapter 111 - 111 Rejection 111 Rejection ¡°Thank you for your invitation, but I don¡¯t have any intention of joining an organization at the moment.¡± The only benefit of joining the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the Military General Office was that he would receive sufficient resources and guidance. His strength would increase greatly. But to people like Ye Fan who had a system, it wasn¡¯t very useful. Instead, there were many restrictions after joining it. In short, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits, so Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate to refuse. He Zhou and Wang Rong were stunned on the spot. They didn¡¯t understand why Ye Fan would refuse. Chen Xin and the others were also very curious. Even if Ye Fan were to refuse, they hadn¡¯t expected him to refuse so directly. That was the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the Military General Office! They were the two largest Beast Tamer organizations in the city. In terms of benefits and status, the other organizations could not even touch their toes. These were simply the two organizations that all Beast Tamers wanted to join. Moreover, in order to recruit him, they had even offered such superior conditions. Under such circumstances, Ye Fan still refused. This made it impossible for them to imagine what Ye Fan was thinking. ¡°Mr. Ye.¡± Wang Rong thought that Ye Fan didn¡¯t know what their organization was doing, which was why he refused. He wanted to say more to rope him in. But Ye Fan once again gestured for him to stop talking. ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it very clearly. I won¡¯t join any organization. I want to study well in school. Thank you for your kindness.¡± Since things had already come to this, there was no need for the two of them to say anything else. They could only give up. The two of them sighed deeply and said goodbye. ¡°That¡¯s the Adventurer¡¯s Association and the Military General Office. Why did you reject them?¡± Shen Miao came to Ye Fan¡¯s side with a complicated expression. If it were her, she would have happily agreed to this offer, but Ye Fan directly refused. What was this junior thinking? With her strength and aptitude, it was not difficult for her to join the Adventurer¡¯s Association or the Military General Office after graduation. However, she could only enter after passing the review. Ye Fan was basically a special recruit. But Ye Fan refused so decisively! Although they could both enter, the attention they received was definitely different! ¡°I don¡¯t want to be too restricted,¡± Ye Fan said indifferently. ¡°Do you know where there are Ten-thousand-year-old Bones, Fire Elemental Complexes, Illusion Crystals, and the Heart of the Fallen?¡± These were the main materials for the Golden Sparrow and the others to evolve. This series of materials that others had never heard of stunned everyone. Xu Menghan and Su Wan¡¯er looked at Ye Fan in surprise. These were all very rare materials. Shen Miao paused. She did not curiously ask about why Ye Fan wanted these materials. She said, ¡°The Adventurer¡¯s Association happens to have Fire Elemental Complexes and Illusion Crystals. If you agreed to join them just now, these two materials will be easy to obtain.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t regret it after hearing this. He smiled. There was no need to do this for these two materials. ¡°Is there any other way?¡± ¡°Yes. As long as your Adventurer Level is high enough and you have enough contribution points, you can exchange for rewards.¡± ¡°After a hunter team completes the mission, other than receiving the corresponding reward, they can also obtain a certain amount of contribution points according to the level of the mission. If the contribution points are high enough, they can increase the Adventurer Level.¡± ¡°Contribution points can be exchanged for all kinds of materials in the association. Not only can you obtain guidance from high-level Beast Tamers, but you can also obtain materials.¡± Under Shen Miao¡¯s thorough explanation, Ye Fan had a new understanding of the Adventurer¡¯s Association¡¯s system. Looks like I have to do more missions. Ye Fan asked again, ¡°What about the Ten-thousand-year-old Bone and the Heart of the Fallen?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about the Heart of the Fallen. I¡¯ve never heard of this thing. I know a little about the Ten-thousand-year-old Bone.¡± ¡°Recently, the Adventurers discovered a new gathering place of magical beasts, which is an ancient tomb. I heard that there are high-level skeleton-type magical beasts inside. They might have what you want.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°Then where is this ancient tomb?¡± ¡°West of the city, more than a hundred kilometers away.¡± Ye Fan already had a new consideration. Seeing him like this, Shen Miao knew what he was thinking. She immediately said, ¡°If you want to go, why don¡¯t we go together?¡± ¡°Come with my Thunder Hunter Team.¡± After Shen Miao went to the fourth grade, she joined a hunter team called Thunder. She was now an official member of this team. Chapter 112 - 112 Mission 112 Mission ¡°It¡¯s been half a month since that ancient tomb was discovered.¡± ¡°Many hunter teams and explorers have already gone in.¡± ¡°One of them is the Thunder Hunter Team. The ancient tomb is a little far away. There are many magical beasts along the way. It¡¯s safer for you to come with our team.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan directly agreed. ¡°Thank you, senior sister.¡± !! ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± She had a good impression of Ye Fan. ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡± ¡°Senior, me too.¡± Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya also cheered. Shen Miao shook her head. ¡°No, the ancient tomb is filled with monsters above Rank-3. The two of you can¡¯t fight them.¡± When the two of them heard this, their faces instantly fell. But there was nothing they could do. They were to set off a week later. After making his decision, Ye Fan comforted Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya before leaving the city. He planned to increase the growth of his pets. Looking at Ye Fan¡¯s departing figure, Chen Xin gritted her teeth and suddenly said solemnly to Xu Menghan, ¡°I want to ask for leave for a period of time. I want to go out of the city!¡± Xiao Qiuya immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± The two of them looked at each other. They could see the seriousness in each other¡¯s eyes. Now, Ye Fan was becoming more and more powerful. If they didn¡¯t work hard, they would sooner or later be ruthlessly left behind by Ye Fan. They had to work hard. In the next few days, Ye Fan either farmed monsters to increase his strength or went to the Adventurer¡¯s Association to accept bounty missions to earn contribution points. The missions that took less time to clear the monsters were his first choice. Contribution points for Bronze-level missions ranged from 10 to 100. The Brass-level missions¡¯ contribution points were between 100 and 300. Bronze Explorers could only accept these two types of missions. In order to increase efficiency, Ye Fan¡¯s missions were all Brass-level. In seven days, he had completed nine Brass-level missions and obtained 2,100 contribution points. This completion rate was simply shocking. Xia Ke, the leader of the association who was secretly paying attention to Ye Fan, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Ye Fan¡¯s aptitude was actually so high. Ye Fan also checked the exchange conditions for the Fire Elemental Complex and the Fallen¡¯s Heart. The level of the adventurer required for these two materials wasn¡¯t high. Bronze-rank adventurers could exchange for them, but their prices made his heart ache. The Fire Elemental Complex was worth 2,500 contribution points. The Heart of the Fallen was worth 3,000 contribution points. It had to be known that to increase his contribution points to such a high level, he needed to kill many monsters. It could be seen how precious these materials were! Forget it, he could still obtain it! Ye Fan exchanged for the Fire Elemental Complex on the association¡¯s website. Then, he searched for information about the ancient tomb. They were leaving tomorrow. He had to know something about that ancient tomb. However, after searching for a long time, Ye Fan discovered that the missions regarding the ancient tomb had already been intercepted. He patted his forehead. ¡°I almost forgot. Many hunter teams are now exploring the tomb. How can they not accept missions about this ancient tomb?¡± Fortunately, while most of the missions limited the number of people who could accept them, he finally found a mission that didn¡¯t! Mission Content: Collect Black Beads. Mission Level: Brass. For every 100 Black Beads, 500 credit points. No limit on the number of people in the mission. Note: The magical beasts are generally above Rank 3. There is a high chance of Rank 5 Bosses and magical beasts. Enforcers need to be careful. It was actually a mission with no upper limit! Ye Fan was very surprised. It was very rare for there to be no limit to the amount of collection. This was a good thing for Ye Fan! Perhaps he could gather enough contribution points to exchange for the Heart of the Fallen in one go. Ye Fan quickly accepted the mission. On the day of departure, he met Shen Miao at the entrance of the academy. The members of the hunter team were gathered there. On the way, Shen Miao suddenly mentioned Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya. ¡°The two of them have been training hard outside the city recently.¡± ¡°I heard from Senior Menghan.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed. He naturally knew why Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya were working so hard. However, he did not know what to help them with. To be honest, they didn¡¯t need him. Chen Xin, Xiao Qiuya, and the others were all very outstanding. Moreover, they were born in Beast Tamer families, so there was no need to worry about resources. At the moment, the only reason that could limit their growth was their diligence. So at this stage, they didn¡¯t need Ye Fan¡¯s help at all. Perhaps when their strength grew to the point where the family¡¯s resources couldn¡¯t keep up with them, Ye Fan would be able to help them. At that time, he would naturally help. Deep down, he had a good impression of Chen Xin and Xiao Qiuya. As for which one to choose, of course, he would not choose! He wanted both! He stopped letting his imagination run wild. Ye Fan and Shen Miao got to the point. ¡°Senior, tell me about your hunter team.¡± Shen Miao naturally told him everything in detail. ¡°This city has a special geographical location. There are many gathering places for magical beasts around it, so many hunter teams have been established. There are many on a large scale.¡± Chapter 113 - 113 Acquaintance? 113 Acquaintance? The Thunder Hunter Team that Shen Miao was at was only second-rate. It was still far from the first rate. The strongest in the team was the team leader, who was a Rank-5 Beast Tamer. The two vice commanders were also at Rank 5. !! However, they were much weaker than their leader. Without exception, the official members were all Rank-3 or Rank-4 Beast Tamers. Their overall strength was a lot better than the Red Maple Hunter Team Ye Fan had encountered in the Endless Forest. Soon, the two of them arrived outside the city. After walking for a distance, they came face to face with a military camp. There were many tents in the open space less than a hundred meters away. It was very lively with people coming and going. This was the gathering point for the hunter team. ¡°They¡¯re over there.¡± Shen Miao smiled and pointed at seven or eight modified SUVs. In an open space more than 20 meters away, a group of wild-looking men and women were gathered around the car, laughing loudly. A young man at the periphery quickly noticed Shen Miao and shouted at them, ¡°Hurry up. We¡¯re leaving in ten minutes.¡± As he shouted, everyone turned around. Their gazes swept past Shen Miao and landed on Ye Fan. ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡± The youth who had spoken just now looked at Ye Fan in confusion. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that I wanted to bring a junior to the ancient tomb along the way? This is the junior of our academy¡¯s society.¡± ¡°Introduce him!¡± A few female members of the team cheered. ¡°He¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°Shen Miao, you¡¯re too much. Why were you hiding such a good-looking man?¡± ¡°Do you have a girlfriend? If not, can I be your girlfriend?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s mouth twitched. He smiled insincerely. In the wild, it was really unbearable for him to be flirted by a woman older than him. Fortunately, at this moment, the young man from before interrupted them. ¡°That¡¯s not right, Shen Miao. I remember that your society doesn¡¯t accept boys.¡± Shen Miao smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, but this junior is too outstanding. How can the juniors of my society be willing to let him join another society?¡± The young man was stunned. Joy flashed across Shen Miao¡¯s eyes. ¡°He¡¯s a Rank-4 Beast Tamer.¡± Hearing this, the youth sized up Ye Fan, his eyes filled with suspicion. ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. He looks so young. How can he be a Rank-4 Beast Tamer? If you say so, I¡¯m a Rank-9 Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°What are you talking about! Lin Zixuan!¡± A burly old man beside him shouted. Then, he apologized to Ye Fan, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this guy usually talks like this. He doesn¡¯t have a brain. Don¡¯t bother with him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t mind. It was obvious that Lin Zixuan had a straightforward personality. This kind of person could not hide his words and was not scheming. He could say whatever he wanted. Ye Fan didn¡¯t dislike him. On the contrary, those who were full of lies and spoke flawlessly disgusted him. ¡°You just joined the society this year, so you should be a first-year student.¡± Before Ye Fan could say anything, Lin Zixuan continued. ¡°I heard that a ruthless person appeared in the West Eagle Academy¡¯s Inter-academy Tournament a few days ago. He won the championship as a first-year student. Even a fourth-year Beast Tamer who had just broken through to Rank-5 was defeated by him.¡± ¡°A Rank-4 Beast Tamer crushing a Rank-5 Beast Tamer is simply too awesome!¡± ¡°I remember his name is¡­¡± Lin Zixuan lowered his head in deep thought and suddenly exclaimed. ¡°Ye Fan! Yes, do you know this name?¡± Seeing Lin Zixuan¡¯s serious and curious expression, Shen Miao couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°What¡¯s the joke? What are you laughing at?¡± Hearing this, Shen Miao smiled even more happily. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡± He did not understand. The others looked at each other. No one knew what she was laughing about. Ye Fan helplessly looked at Shen Miao. He didn¡¯t expect this senior to like to joke. If she had introduced him earlier, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. Ye Fan was just about to say his name when he was interrupted by a loud shout. ¡°Alright, stop asking questions here. Report to the leader.¡± ¡°They were clearly talking about this just now,¡± Lin Zixuan complained softly. After he left, the man seemed to have thought of something and said to Ye Fan, ¡°Mm¡­ I still don¡¯t know your name. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Ye Fan,¡± he said after a pause. For a moment, the air fell silent. Twenty minutes later, the hunter team set sail. In the most spacious SUV in the middle, the three captains sat in the back seat and discussed the news they had heard from their subordinates not long ago. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the person Shen Miao said she wanted to bring was actually that legendary monster.¡± The person who spoke was one of the vice commanders of the Thunder Hunter Team, He Mianmian. The name sounded delicate and soft, but she gave off a capable and agile feeling. Her hair was tied into a ponytail behind her, and she looked extremely valiant in her black leather jacket. Vice Commander Ma Lu, who was sitting in the back seat, also said, ¡°That kid is so young. Even now, I still wonder if it¡¯s true that as a first-year student, he defeated a Rank-5 Beast Tamer!¡± ¡°How can it be fake in front of everyone? What¡¯s there not to believe? There¡¯s always someone better.¡± He Mianmian rolled her eyes. Chapter 114 - 114 True, It’s True 114 True, It¡¯s True He Mianmian glanced at the refined man in the front seat with golden glasses. The man looked very refined, and his voice was kind and gentle. ¡°No matter what, the reputation of the champion can¡¯t be faked. The West Eagle Academy won¡¯t joke about their reputation. That young man must be very strong.¡± He Mianmian and Ma Lu nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Ma Lu thought of something and asked, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we can interact more with Ye Fan. If such a monster enters our society, it will bring us a lot of benefits.¡± When Wen Qu heard this, he nodded and seemed to be thinking. ¡°We can rope him in, but there must be many organizations that have already roped in a genius like him. He might not like our Thunder Hunter Team.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± He Mianmian and Ma Lu nodded in agreement. At this moment, the atmosphere in the car Ye Fan was in was solemn. No one said anything. It was as if they were reminiscing about something. As for Cheng Shenglei, who had previously berated Lin Zixuan, he sat in the driver¡¯s seat with a subtle expression. From time to time, he would glance at Ye Fan through the rear-view mirror. He never expected that the person brought by Shen Miao was actually the extremely monstrous genius. That was the genius who had won the first place in the academy as a first-year student! Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s young face, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder. Was such a young person really that Rank-4 Beast Tamer? The person who could instantly kill a Rank-5 Beast Tamer? It was simply unbelievable. Everyone¡¯s thoughts raced. The atmosphere in the car was more solemn. Lin Zixuan smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ll be arriving in a few minutes. We might encounter magical beasts then.¡± ¡°The further away from the center of the city, the more magical beasts there are, and the more dangerous it is.¡± ¡°The current distance is 50 kilometers from the city. We¡¯ll soon enter a zone called Banmag.¡± ¡°There are thousands of magical beasts in this area. Their levels are not high. They are generally only Rank 2 to 3.¡± ¡°But there are too many of them. Everyone who passes this route has a headache.¡± As he explained, the convoy gradually drove to this area called Banmag. From a few hundred meters away, Ye Fan could see densely packed shadows in the distance. When they got closer, he saw that they were Iron Beetles in heavy armor. Their figures were like mantises, but their heads were like enlarged ants¡¯, looking ferocious and terrifying. Iron Beetle, an intermediate Rank-2 magical beast. The car gradually entered Banmag. The cars¡¯ engines caught the attention of these magical beasts. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws in the direction of the car, attacking with great tacit understanding. The Beast Tamers sitting at the outermost area skillfully summoned their pets. Soon, beams of light flashed. More than ten pets jumped out enthusiastically. The lowest level of these pets was at the third rank. In a moment, the Iron Beetles that approached were instantly killed. These magical beasts kept wandering around the convoy. The magical beasts attracted by the sound of the cars were eliminated one after another. Cheng Shenglei, who was driving, felt an itch in his heart when he saw this situation. He wanted to show off his skills. He could not help but say to Lin Zixuan, ¡°Why don¡¯t you drive? I¡¯ll deal with these magical beasts.¡± ¡°Just drive. Let Xiao Li and the others deal with magical beasts of this level. Let them practice.¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. What if we encounter a large-scale beast tide later¡­¡± ¡°Let me do it. If I do it, we can drive faster.¡± When Lin Zixuan heard his words, he looked a little displeased. ¡°Stop jinxing things¡­¡± Suddenly, before he could finish speaking, his voice was suddenly stuck. His eyes widened as he looked into the distance. Not far ahead, the entire road was blocked. A large wave of magical beasts was less than a few hundred meters away. Seeing his terrified expression, Ye Fan followed his gaze. At some point, a large black tide had appeared in front of them. Half of them were not Iron Beetles. They attacked in their direction. ¡°You jinx, don¡¯t you know how to speak?¡± The other hunters beside him couldn¡¯t help but curse. Clearly, they had heard what Cheng Shenglei had just said. He scratched his head uncomfortably. He hadn¡¯t expected this either. Just like that, the beast tide really came. ¡°What are you panicking for?¡± Wen Qu¡¯s calm and gentle voice came from ahead. ¡°It¡¯s just some larger beasts. Everyone, prepare to fight!¡± As soon as he said this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Sigh, so it¡¯s just some beasts. I was scared to death. I thought we had encountered a beast tide!¡± ¡°I knew it. Our luck isn¡¯t that bad. How can we meet a beast tide just like that?¡± ¡°Hahahahaha, I saw your face turn pale just now.¡± ¡°My skin was born to be fair. It¡¯s not my fault!¡± Noises followed. Chapter 115 - 115 Attack 115 Attack Although everyone was talking at once, they did not stop. Everyone got out of the car in an orderly manner and summoned their pets to defend themselves. ¡°I¡¯ll go help too.¡± Ye Fan opened the car door. When Shen Miao heard this, she returned to the car. Ye Fan looked over and saw densely packed Iron Beetles crowding together. They were even more terrifying than waves. There were at least four to five thousand of them, and they were 400 meters away. Everyone immediately ordered their pets to attack. A colorful light suddenly exploded. Countless skills smashed accurately at the beasts with the wind. Ye Fan stared for a few seconds before summoning the Golden Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow was too eye-catching. As soon as it came out, everyone¡¯s eyes were attracted. ¡°Cute Sparrow?¡± The nearby hunters were stunned when they saw this. Their faces were filled with shock. Why would anyone contract the weakest Cute Sparrow? Even the usually careless Lin Zixuan couldn¡¯t help but look at Shen Miao inquiringly. Shen Miao ignored him and smiled meaningfully. Ye Fan didn¡¯t care about the gazes of the surrounding people at all and directly had the Golden Sparrow attack. The Golden Sparrow flapped its wings and flew into the sky, shooting its feather swords at the group of Iron Beetles. Wherever the feather swords landed, a large number of Iron Beetles were killed before they could react. As the Golden Sparrow flapped its wings faster and faster, the Iron Beetles were cleaned up one after another. Lin Zixuan and the others were very surprised to see this scene. The reason why the Iron Beetle had the word ¡®iron¡¯ in their name was because its shell was very hard, even harder than steel. Even so, under the attack of the Cute Sparrow, whose feathers turned into sharp swords, they were actually killed in one strike. ¡°So this isn¡¯t an ordinary Cute Sparrow.¡± Lin Zixuan muttered in his heart. The people who had previously doubted Ye Fan¡¯s strength no longer doubted him so much. In reality, when everyone had heard that Ye Fan was a Rank-4 Beast Tamer, the people in the Thunder Hunter Team were very suspicious. They couldn¡¯t be blamed for having such thoughts, because Ye Fan was really too young. It looked like he wasn¡¯t even twenty years old. Such a young Rank-4 Beast Tamer couldn¡¯t even be described as a monster. When everyone heard this information, they would definitely not dare to believe it. This was what they had thought previously. Now that they saw the Golden Sparrow kill the beasts so easily, they were extremely shocked. At the same time, the doubts about his strength gradually dissipated. The intermediate Rank-2 Iron Beetle was two major realms lower than the Golden Sparrow. There was a huge gap in their combat strength. None of them could withstand the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attack. Their proud front limbs and incomparably hard carapace were nothing to be afraid of in front of the Golden Sparrow. The Golden Sparrow summoned ten Cute Sparrows. The ten Cute Sparrows surrounded the Iron Beetles together and became even faster. Large groups of Iron Beetles died one after another. Soon, more than 1,000 Iron Beetles died under the Golden Sparrow¡¯s attacks. Just the number of Iron Beetles he killed alone was comparable to the number of dozens of pets killed together. Such a fast and straightforward killing speed made everyone¡¯s jaws drop. ¡°Damn, this is too awesome.¡± ¡°Moreover, it knows the Clone Technique. Those clones have at least the combat strength of peak Rank-3.¡± ¡°Damn, this is too awesome.¡± ¡°Awesome.¡± Exclamations came one after another. Now, the Golden Sparrow had already killed its way to the center of the beasts alone. It flew straight to the center of the group of beasts and casually shot out arrows. More than a hundred Iron Beetles were quickly beheaded like cabbages. The Golden Sparrow swooped down towards the densest place, its sharp claws cutting through the Iron Beetles one after another. A large number of Iron Beetles were destroyed again. Finally, it opened its beak. An intense and oppressive roar suddenly sounded. Countless sound waves swept towards the surroundings. Wherever it passed, all the Iron Beetles were swept up by the sound waves. The Iron Beetles¡¯ heads seemed to have encountered a violent vibration. As the sound wave swept past, the heads of the Iron Beetles instantly exploded, and blood scattered on the ground. Seeing this scene, Lin Zixuan and the others finally couldn¡¯t help but gasp, their faces filled with shock. In an instant, it killed a hundred Rank-2 magical beasts?! This was even more shocking than before! All of them were stunned! It was unknown how much time had passed before everyone reacted. Their gazes towards Ye Fan changed to that of respect. The strong preyed on the weak. The rule of the strong being respected was applied everywhere. After revealing his strength, Ye Fan quickly obtained the respect of the Thunder Hunter Team. Some female members looked at him with shining eyes. Ye Fan felt that if eyes could eat people, these female members would probably strip him naked and eat him on the spot. The only one who was not surprised was Shen Miao, because she knew Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Chapter 116 - 116 Map 116 Map The mental impact brought by the Golden Sparrow was not high. To opponents of the same level, it only had a certain intimidating ability. However, to these second or third-rank pets, it was extremely lethal. This large-scale attack could not be resisted physically. !! Against low-level magical beasts, this skill could achieve twice the effect with half the effort. After using it twice in a row, more than half of the Iron Beetles were killed. As everyone worked together, the last Iron Beetle quickly fell to the ground. After participating in the battle, the Thunder Hunters looked at each other. They could see the surprise on each other¡¯s faces. They had never fought such an easy battle. Throughout the battle, what they did was eliminating the Iron Beetles that had been missed at the very edge. Wen Qu looked in the direction of the battle, his eyes shining. Soon, he sighed and turned to He Mianmian and Ma Lu. ¡°Sigh, forget it. How can a small hunter team like ours accommodate such a genius?¡± He Mianmian and Ma Lu were silent for a second. They looked at each other and nodded silently. They really couldn¡¯t hold this big star. Just the strength displayed by the Cute Sparrow was enough to fight against a fifth-rank pet. But it was rumored that this was only the tip of the iceberg of Ye Fan¡¯s strength. It was rumored that his other pet was also very powerful. Previously, they had thought that someone was deliberately exaggerating. Now, it seemed that all of this was true. He was able to defeat a Rank-5 Beast Tamer before the age of 20. How could a hunter team that wasn¡¯t even first-rate be qualified to recruit him? After some thought, Wen Qu added, ¡°Although that¡¯s the case, we have to be on good terms with him.¡± After a large-scale group battle, the convoy started driving again. They did not encounter any large-scale beasts on the way. Some small-scale Iron Beetles would not stop the convoy at all. They traveled very smoothly. Soon, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb at noon. The entrance was a black hole that was five meters tall. From afar, it looked like a man-eating monster. There were various modified SUVs parked in the nearby open space. A large number of hunters and explorers were resting in front of the cave. They were clearly prepared to enter the tomb. The chatter, laughter, and scolding were loud. It was even livelier than the market. ¡°Everyone, rest on the spot. We¡¯ll enter the ancient tomb in ten minutes.¡± Wen Qu¡¯s voice came from the front of the team. Everyone got out of the car laughing. Shen Miao looked at Ye Fan seriously and asked, ¡°Are you really not going to come with us?¡± ¡°I prefer to be alone.¡± Ye Fan looked at her and shook his head. Although it was safer for him to move with the group of people, the efficiency was too low. It was better for him to farm growth himself. Moreover, the hunter team must have accepted the mission to collect Black Beads. If he was with their team, how should they distribute the Black Beads they obtained? This was a big problem. Shen Miao might be caught in a dilemma. Shen Miao obviously thought of this too, so she did not ask him to stay. ¡°No matter what, thank you for taking me here.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a small matter.¡± She smiled. Then, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Ye Fan. ¡°This is for you. It should be useful to you.¡± Ye Fan took it and looked at it. It was a map. ¡°This is the map of the ancient tomb. It has already marked the areas that have been explored.¡± ¡°The locations of the dangerous magical beasts have also been marked.¡± Ye Fan was stunned when he heard her words. He looked at her in surprise. Although he rarely went out to explore and did not have much experience, he knew how precious this map was. The Thunder Hunter Team must have spent a lot of effort to obtain this. Normally, such things would not be given to outsiders. It was as if she could see what Ye Fan was thinking, Shen Miao smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t give it to you secretly. Our commander agreed. It¡¯s just a map. If it can win the friendship of a genius like you, why not?¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan smiled and put away the map. He said solemnly, ¡°I¡¯ll remember it. Thank you. Help me thank your captain.¡± No matter what this Thunder Hunter Team was thinking, the map could indeed be of some use to him. That was why he said this to Shen Miao. When Shen Miao heard this, the smile on her face widened. She now had an increasingly good impression of Ye Fan. He wasn¡¯t arrogant because he was a genius, and he was neither servile nor overbearing. After chatting for a while, Ye Fan bade farewell to Shen Miao, Lin Zixuan and others. He walked towards the cave alone. The closer he got to the cave, the more people paid attention to him. Although there were many adventurers who came to explore, it was very rare to see someone as young as Ye Fan. Chapter 117 - 117 Young 117 Young His appearance of not even 20 years old caused many people to whisper. ¡°What¡¯s this kid thinking? How dare he come here alone?¡± ¡°This place is more than 100 kilometers away from the city. How did he come here alone?¡± ¡°I saw him with the Thunder Hunters just now. Xiao Lan is with them, right?¡± ¡°I knew it. He must have come with someone else. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to get here.¡± ¡°I have to say that children nowadays are getting bolder and bolder. They dare to come to such a dangerous ancient tomb alone with such little strength.¡± Ye Fan acted as if he hadn¡¯t heard anything and calmly stepped into the cave. As he entered the cave, it became darker and darker. There were only a few fluorescent stones emitting a faint light along the entire passage. It looked dark and cold. Ye Fan summoned the Inferno Fire, and the flames illuminated the passage. Only then did Ye Fan see that this passageway was actually quite spacious. He directly cast a Guardian Soul on himself and summoned the Golden Sparrow. After so many days of training, the growth of pets had already increased to a certain extent. The Inferno Fire had already reached 61%. The Cursed Fox had reached 40%. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth was the fastest. It had already reached 88%. It was only one-fifth away from full growth. If everything went smoothly, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth would be full after the trip. As for the vampire, because its level was very high, its progress was very slow. So far, it only had 15% progress. The Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth was the highest. He would let the Golden Sparrow kill monsters first to increase its growth. Ye Fan thought to himself. He took out the map and checked it. Shen Miao was very meticulous and highlighted the places on the map that might produce Ten-thousand-year-old Bones. There was also a detailed explanation at the end. Ye Fan roughly calculated that it happened to be at the center of the area between the outer core and the entrance of the cave. After calculating that the distance was not far, he walked deeper. Not long after, some distant noise sounded from the cave. The noise was not loud, but it sounded especially strange in the dark cave. Then, five or six zombies with thick yellow bandages stiffly walked out of the darkness. Ye Fan carefully looked at these zombies. They were actually high-level Rank-3 Magical Beasts. No wonder people outside said that this ancient tomb was extremely dangerous. As expected, the rumors were true. After smelling the aura of a living person, the zombies discovered Ye Fan¡¯s location and dragged their stiff bodies over. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, their seemingly stiff movements were very fast. They quickly ran in front of Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn¡¯t say anything, and the Golden Sparrow directly stood in front of Ye Fan. The zombies mainly fought with physical attacks. In addition, they were undying creatures and had very strong vitality. Therefore, they were relatively troublesome existences among Rank-3 Magical Beasts, but it was not a big problem for the Golden Sparrow. Be it defense, vitality, or even strength, the Golden Sparrow was invincible among those of the same level. Moreover, the zombies were one level lower than it. Soon, these zombies were completely eliminated by the Golden Sparrow. Ye Fan expressionlessly walked past their corpses. He couldn¡¯t obtain any benefits from these zombies. They were a group of corpses that had no effect on him. The deeper Ye Fan went, the more Magical Beasts appeared. The types gradually changed from White Bone Zombies to Purple Bone Zombies. The Purple Bone Zombie were the evolved White Bone Zombies. They were peak Rank-3 magical beasts. The Bronze Zombie was the evolved form of the Purple Bone Zombie, an intermediate Rank-4 magical beast. As they walked deeper, the zombies¡¯ levels increased, causing the Golden Sparrow to slow down. But Ye Fan wasn¡¯t worried at all. Instead, he became even more excited. In just a short while, the Golden Sparrow¡¯s growth had increased by 10%. It was already 98%. So close. Seeing this growth, Ye Fan was very happy. Ye Fan commanded the Golden Sparrow to kill the last Bronze Zombie not far away. He opened the map and looked at it. He continued walking. Further ahead was where his target was. Ye Fan raised his guard and carefully walked forward. He saw a spacious stone room. The stone room was empty. A few Firefly Stones were scattered against the stone wall. What entered his eyes was a huge bone without any flesh lying on the wall in the corner. With the light emitted by the Inferno Fire, he could see that the bone was gray from top to bottom. However, there was a very smooth and glittering bone in its heart. When there was no light in the room, it was very eye-catching. Could this be the Ten Thousand Year Bone? Ye Fan was puzzled. He walked over with the Golden Sparrow. Suddenly, the huge bone cut off, and the dust on its body immediately fell. A noise that made one¡¯s teeth ache suddenly sounded. The huge bone actually sat up on the bed. A purple light instantly ignited in its empty eye sockets. His violet and alluring pupils were tightly staring at Ye Fan. The aura of death filled the entire stone room. This was an Undead Zombie! A Boss of the Undead Zombies, Intermediate Rank 5! Ye Fan looked at the Golden Sparrow in front of him, but he told it to retreat. With the Golden Sparrow¡¯s current strength, it should be able to defeat this Boss, but it wouldn¡¯t be easy. Chapter 118 - 118 Battle 118 Battle A deafening sound echoed in the sky above the forest. The aftershock of the battle seemed to have turned into a strong wind that swept away, causing the branches to sway left and right. Ye Fan was already completely immersed in the intense battle. After Ye Fan defeated the intermediate Rank-5 Undead Zombie Boss, he fell into Li Wanlie and Li Zhe¡¯s ambush. !! On Ye Fan¡¯s side were a few unorganized passersby. Other than Ye Fan, who was an experienced Beast Tamer, the others were all Beast Tamers with little combat experience. Of course, there was also the more experienced Wang Shengjun. This lineup was strong enough to be considered an adventurer lineup. It even surpassed most Rank 2 and 3 hunting teams. However, even such a strong team was still beaten up by the Li family. It was because Li Wanlie had resisted four enemies alone. Ye Fan and his three companions joined forces to barely block Li Wanlie¡¯s six terrifying Battle Pets. The remaining two team members were also found by Li Zhe and the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was a fifth-rank Beast Tamer. They were clearly stronger than their opponents. The adventurers could not raise their heads at all. Just like that. Surprisingly, Li Zhe had the upper hand in the battle. As a Rank-5 Beast Tamer who had just broken through and had yet to train a new pet, he only had three Rank-4 pets and one Rank-5 pet. Logically speaking, he could only be considered half Rank-5. Any popular fifth-rank pet that had broken through for more than a year could win him steadily. However, the outcome was unexpected. Ye Fan only took a glance before his eyes immediately revealed a dense terror. ¡°Damn it¡­ So it¡¯s a high-level Rank 5 Steel-Clawed Dragon.¡± Dragon Pets were originally the best among their peers. As for Li Zhe¡¯s Steel-Clawed Dragon, it had clearly awakened many talents and skills. Even if its combat strength was not as good as Level 6, it was not far off. Just on its end, it had stopped three Rank-5 pets, and it was very easy to do so. Roar! The Steel-Clawed Dragon swung its forelimbs violently. Claws shining with a cold metal luster tore through the air and hit a pet with sharp and extremely strong energy. The low-level Rank-5 pet could not even withstand it for a moment. In an instant, it was torn in half. Blood splattered. The Steel-Clawed Dragon was famous for its terrifying attack power. But seeing the strength of its attack with their own eyes still terrified Ye Fan and the others. On the other side. Li Wanlie¡¯s Rank 6 Black Scythe Soul also killed an opponent. The Black Scythe Soul was a soul pet of the undead. It had the characteristics of a void body and was immune to all physical attacks. It also had the characteristics of a mental attack that could directly harm the opponent¡¯s soul. Relying on these two characteristics, the Black Scythe Soul was also the best of many sixth-rank pets. Most Rank 6 pets were not its match at all. They could only last for a short time. Then, they were annihilated by the Black Scythe Soul. They fell to the ground without moving, and they lost their lives. The battle began in five minutes. Many Rank 5 and Rank 6 pets were lost one after another. At this point. As long as one wasn¡¯t blind, they could tell that the battle was extremely disadvantageous to Ye Fan. It was only a matter of time before Ye Fan lost. He looked at the situation in front of him. Ye Fan¡¯s throat rolled. His heart was already trembling. It was not that he had not thought of taking the opportunity to escape. But every time he moved, Li Wanlie¡¯s attack on the soul forced them to defend on the spot. The occasional counterattack was easily blocked by the other three. Li Wanlie, who came from a Beast Tamer family, couldn¡¯t compare to adventurers in terms of soul skills. Whether it was the level of soul skills or mastery, the Li family¡¯s three people had all crushed Ye Fan. Especially Li Zhe¡¯s Water Control. Ye Fan¡¯s skills landed on the flowing water wall. Other than causing ripples, it was useless. Seeing this scene, Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but feel a trace of despair. If he knew that, he would hand over the monster first. However, not to mention that the monster was no longer in his hands, even if it was still around, if he wanted to hand over the monster in exchange for his life, the other party might not agree. Ye Fan naturally wasn¡¯t naive enough to think that he could survive by begging for mercy. In the wilderness, robbing and killing were often accompanied. Ever since the robbery, for the sake of the Li family¡¯s reputation, killing the victims was naturally the best choice. Thinking about this, Ye Fan¡¯s face became increasingly pale. Roar! There were ups and downs of screams. One adventurer after another was killed. However, nobody from the Li family died in battle. The balance of victory continued to tilt towards Li Zhe and the others. ¡°He has already said that lowly adventurers are no match for them.¡± Li Zhe sneered as he looked at the bleeding adventurers, a trace of disdain appearing on his lips. Li Wanlie stepped forward and coldly stared at Ye Fan. ¡°Hand it over so you don¡¯t die!¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t reply. He just smiled a smile that was a bit sad. He was not stupid. Of course, he would not believe Li Wanlie¡¯s words. The Li family would definitely not let them off. The reason why he said that was mostly because he was afraid that Ye Fan would destroy the monster. Unfortunately, the other party¡¯s worry was unnecessary. The strange monster was not in his hands at all. ¡°Looks like they won¡¯t be able to leave here alive today.¡± A despairing thought flashed through Ye Fan¡¯s mind. At this moment, a sudden voice came from behind a tree not far away. Although it was an intense battle, the sound was not loud. However, everyone present could still hear it clearly. ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Li Wanlie immediately lowered his voice. As he spoke, he also performed the soul attack technique. It openly attacked in the direction of the sound. Bang. Trees were blown away by the violent impact of the explosion and collapsed to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust. In the dust, one could vaguely see a semicircular wall with a faint halo. A man, two women, and three young men stood beside the wall, looking over. The only young man among the three looked helpless. This strange lineup stunned the three Li family members and Ye Fan. However, when their gazes landed on the Flower Sprite on the young man¡¯s shoulder, their expressions changed one after another. Ye Fan and the others were shocked. They did not expect the Flower Sprite, who had escaped, to appear again in this way. Li Wanlie and Li Zhe were also stunned. Only then did they understand that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t lying. The monster had really taken the opportunity to escape. But immediately, their faces darkened and intense anger appeared in their eyes¡­ Because the Flower Sprite was sitting on the young man¡¯s shoulder at this moment, and the two of them seemed extremely intimate. Obviously, this monster had already been contracted by the young man. After trying their best to find their target for a long time, they were first beaten up and they lost their target. Ye Fan was startled for a moment before reacting and gloating. ¡°Hehe, old fart, you¡¯re still shouting to kill us here. I didn¡¯t expect your monster to have been snatched by others. You¡¯ve done nothing!¡± Once a monster was contracted as a pet, it would not be able to return to its free state. Even if the Beast Tamer died, the pet would also be killed. There could not be a second contract. Ye Fan¡¯s gloating laughter made Li Wanlie and Li Zhe even angrier. Li Wanlie could still remain calm, but his eyes were filled with coldness. The young Li Zhe could not suppress the anger in his heart. He looked at the young man¡¯s face and said fiercely, ¡°Who dares to snatch our thing!¡± ¡°Bah! Rose is not a thing. Rose is just Rose. She doesn¡¯t belong to anyone!¡± Ross shouted back at him. After that, he felt that something was wrong. He looked at Ye Fan and said, ¡°But half of her is now owned by the owner.¡± Clearly, as far as he knew, half of the pet belonged to its owner. Ye Fan had a headache and rubbed his forehead. This demon¡¯s train of thoughts was hard to keep up with. Just now, she was not angry at her enemies and could not help but complain loudly. This was noticed by Li Wanlie and the others. Originally, Ye Fan didn¡¯t want to get involved in this matter. He only wanted to leave quietly with his gains. But now, this wish had clearly been shattered. Looking at Li Zhe¡¯s angry gaze, he was almost angered to death. How could it be so easy to let him go? Even so, Ye Fan still wanted to fight for it. ¡°We¡¯re just passing by and won¡¯t interfere in your battle. You may continue.¡± ¡°Do you want to leave?¡± Li Zhe sneered, his eyes dark. ¡°You want to leave after snatching our thing? There¡¯s no such easy thing in the world¡­¡± ¡°I knew it.¡± Ye Fan helplessly shook his head. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t take back anything, please use your life to repay it.¡± Li Zhe¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with killing intent. Realizing what its master was thinking, the nearby Steel-Clawed Dragon suddenly abandoned its opponent and turned to charge at Ye Fan without restraint. Li Wanlie and the middle-aged man looked at him coldly. At the moment, this man and two women looked very young, about 20 years old. Their strength was probably not too good. It could be seen from the pets around them. The Ape King, the Blue Butterfly, and the Blue Crystal Guard were all Rank 4 pets. These three were probably the favorite pets of the fourth rank. With Li Zhe¡¯s strength, it was more than enough to deal with them. As for the background behind the three of them, Li Wanlie and the middle-aged man didn¡¯t care at all. When they killed someone, all they had to do was find a place to throw the body. Without witnesses, who would know that they had killed someone? This was the wilderness. Dangerous and cruel. Identity and background were useless. Only strength was the most important factor in determining life and death. Chapter 119 - 119 Unacceptable 119 Unacceptable Seeing the Steel-Clawed Dragon charging over, Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya¡¯s faces immediately revealed serious expressions. They had just seen the powerful combat performance of the Steel-Clawed Dragon. They knew that this dragon pet was not inferior to a level-six pet. It was indeed a troublesome enemy. The two of them looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding. Just as they were about to order their Battle Pets to join forces to face the enemy, Ye Fan reached out to stop them. ¡°Senior, just let him deal with it. We don¡¯t have to do anything. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were stunned for a moment before looking at Ye Fan in confusion. Without explaining further, Ye Fan¡¯s mind moved. Blue Bone suddenly flashed out from one side and charged at the Steel-Clawed Dragon. Facing the Steel-Clawed Dragon that was rumbling like a chariot, Cang Gu was not afraid and collided head-on. When Li Zhe saw this, he could not help but reveal a disdainful gaze. The Steel-Clawed Dragon was a dragon-type pet best known for physical strength. Although it did not have the terrifying area of effect damage like the Elemental Dragon, it had astonishing strength and a powerful physique, which ordinary pets could not reach. Facing the accelerated collision of the Steel-Clawed Dragon, he dared to face it from the front. He really didn¡¯t know how to write the word ¡®death¡¯. ¡°Ignorant fellow. Li Zhe smiled. The scene of the pet being smashed to pieces by the Steel-Clawed Dragon had already appeared in his mind. BOOM! Under everyone¡¯s gazes, the two pets collided like high-speed trains. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and dust rose everywhere. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the scene of the skeleton pet being shattered into pieces had not appeared yet. On the contrary, the dominant Steel-Clawed Dragon howled and flew out, landing heavily on the ground with a bang. ¡°¡­¡± Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Li Zhe¡¯s proud smile froze on his face, and his eyes revealed disbelief. ¡°Roar!¡± The Steel-Clawed Dragon, which had suffered a huge loss, got up from the ground and roared at the sky, its voice filled with intense anger. Then, it rushed towards Cang Gu. Its sharp claws tore through the void and grabbed Cang Gu¡¯s chest. Cang Gu swung his saber fearlessly. It ignored the attacking claws. The bone knife in its hand, surrounded by black gas, cut into the Steel-Clawed Dragon¡¯s chest as quickly as dark lightning. Clang! The Steel-Clawed Dragon¡¯s sharp claws were the first to hit Cang Gu¡¯s sternum. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the sharp claws that could tear through metal landed on the bones, emitting a crisp metallic sound. Other than leaving shallow white marks, it did not cause any injuries! ¡°Impossible! Li Zhe exclaimed in shock. His faces was filled with fear. No matter what, he could not believe that the Steel-Clawed Dragon, whose combat strength was comparable to Rank-6, could not even injure its opponent. Li Wanlie was as shocked as the middle-aged man. The strength and defense of the skeleton pet were too terrifying. It was unbelievable. Just as everyone was shocked, a shrill howl suddenly rang out, waking them up. They looked over. The Steel-Clawed Dragon was slashed by Cang Gu. In front of the magical bone knife, the hard and thick dragon scales and skin were almost like fragile paper. They were instantly torn apart. Blood splattered. The Steel-Clawed Dragon took a few steps back. There was already a deep and bloody wound on its chest. Before the Steel-Clawed Dragon could catch its breath, Cang Gu was killed again. Thick demonic auras almost enveloped its entire body. It looked like a black humanoid in the mist. Two blood-colored lights flickered in its eyes. There was a strong pressure that made one¡¯s heart palpitate. BOOM! BOOM! Cang Gu cut into Steel-Clawed Dragons. The continuous attacks almost turned into dense black saber screens. They enveloped the Steel-Clawed Dragon like a storm. In the blink of an eye, the scales on the Steel-Clawed Dragon¡¯s body became scattered, and its entire body were covered in injuries. Li Zhe was already stunned. He opened his mouth wide and could not speak. He, who had always thought that he was a genius, couldn¡¯t accept that his proud pet had been beaten up so badly by a skeleton. He knew that this was the main battle pet he had carefully nurtured. It had consumed countless resources and effort. Wasn¡¯t it better than a skeleton pet? It was simply unacceptable. ¡°What a powerful skeleton pet. It has mastered strange energy. Li Wanlie looked at Cang Gu in surprise. The middle-aged man nodded in agreement. His eyes landed on Ye Fan, unable to hide his shock. Although the skeleton pet¡¯s aura was only at the fifth rank, its combat strength was truly at the sixth rank. It was hard to imagine that this young man could train such a powerful pet. It had to be known that the Li family had to use the entire family¡¯s strength to help Li Zhe nurture the Steel-Clawed Dragon. Even so, the Steel-Clawed Dragon was still not the skeleton¡¯s match. ¡°This boy¡¯s background is naturally not simple. Otherwise, it would be impossible to nurture such a powerful war pet. The middle-aged man said in a low voice and looked at Li Wanlie. Killing intent flickered in their eyes as they simultaneously made up their minds to kill Ye Fan. Never let this person leave the Dragon Bone Forest alive. Otherwise, it was very likely to bring a troublesome enemy to the Li family. On the other side. The adventurers were also shocked by Cang Gu¡¯s tough performance. ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯ve never seen such a powerful skeleton.¡± ¡°Amazing. Such a powerful Steel-Clawed Dragon was beaten into such a tragedy.¡± ¡°What kind of pet is this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± The adventurers were amazed. On the other hand, Wang Shengjun looked uncertain. He quickly turned around in his mind. When he first saw Ye Fan¡¯s group, he was still surprised. He felt that there was hope of being saved. However, when he realized that there were only three young men and women, he was immediately disappointed. It was impossible for such a young Beast Tamer to be Li Wanlie¡¯s match. Although the skeleton pet had completely suppressed the Steel-Clawed Dragon, so what? It was useless to defeat Li Zhe. The greatest enemy was Old Ghost Li. His six sixth-rank pets were still watching. ¡°He¡¯s already a fifth-rank Beast Tamer at this age. He¡¯s much more talented than Li Zhe. Unfortunately¡­¡± Li Wanlie muttered to himself. Age was there. No matter how outstanding someone¡¯s talent was, without time to accumulate, it could not be transformed into strength. Wang Shengjun wanted to take the opportunity to escape. However, just as he made a move, Li Wanlie¡¯s indifferent gaze pierced over like a sharp sword. Obviously, he had been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing this, Wang Shengjun sighed in frustration and did not dare to do anything else. A few minutes later. The outcome of the battle was finally decided. Cang Gu easily killed the Steel-Clawed Dragon. It was completely unscathed. Under Cang Gu¡¯s Life Absorption skill, some of the injuries caused by the Steel-Clawed Dragon instantly healed. It was so powerful, with high defense and astonishing recovery speed. It was like a skeleton pet that could not be killed. Everyone present really found it unbelievable. How could such a pet be trained?! Li Zhe stared at Ye Fan, his facial features almost twisted into a ball. The humiliation of failure, which he had never experienced before, gnawed at his heart like a worm. This caused his hatred for Ye Fan to quickly reach its peak. Li Wanlie patted Li Zhe¡¯s shoulder indifferently. ¡°Remember this lesson.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t always act like you¡¯re the best in the world. You have to know that there are many geniuses in this world. There will never be a lack of people who are better than you.¡± The reason why Li Wanlie had not interfered was because he had watched the Steel-Clawed Dragon in Cang Gu¡¯s hand die. It was to teach Li Zhe a lesson. It made him understand that there was someone outside. ¡°You have to practice hard in the future so that similar things won¡¯t happen again.¡± ¡­Got it. Hearing Li Wanlie¡¯s words, Li Zhe resentfully looked at Ye Fan and reluctantly nodded. Seeing this, Li Wanlie frowned slightly, but he didn¡¯t try to persuade him anymore. He turned to look at Ye Fan. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re the best Beast Tamer I¡¯ve seen in decades. Unfortunately, you should never have done that. If you wanted to blame someone, you¡¯d better blame yourself for being greedy.¡± Xu Menghan immediately widened her eyes and said angrily, ¡°The Flower Sprite had already escaped. Ah Fan caught it with his own ability. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± ¡°The Li family is clearly the one who robbed others, but you still sound so justified. You¡¯re simply shameless to the extreme.¡± Li Wanlie and the middle-aged man¡¯s expressions turned cold. Li Zhe was furious. ¡°What did you say?¡± Xu Menghan retorted rudely. ¡°If you dare to do it, don¡¯t be afraid of others saying it!¡± Li Zhe was still waiting to speak when he was stopped by Li Wanlie. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say so much to a dying person.¡± Ye Fan smiled. ¡°I agrees with this. There¡¯s really no need to talk nonsense with someone who¡¯s about to die.¡± The calmness and confidence in his words were obvious. Li Wanlie narrowed his eyes in surprise. However, when he thought of Ye Fan¡¯s age, his heart was certain. Just a wet behind the ears boy. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t fight him. We¡¯ll find an opportunity to escape.¡± Xu Menghan suddenly walked over to Ye Fan and whispered. Xiao Qiuya nodded imperceptibly and agreed to this suggestion. Although they knew that Ye Fan¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t bad, they did not think that he could defeat Li Wanlie. Look at the powerful lineup of six sixth-rank pets, even among the sixth-rank Beast Tamers, Li Wanlie was one of the top. Such an expert was definitely not someone a fifth-rank Beast Tamer could deal with. Chapter 120 - 120 Don’t worry 120 Don¡¯t worry ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior.¡± Ye Fan gently nodded. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya thought that Ye Fan had also agreed to their suggestion, so they didn¡¯t say anything else. The two women turned to look at Li Wanlie, their faces filled with vigilance. Their hearts tightened. Don¡¯t blame them for being so nervous and cautious. Even one sixth-rank pet in front of them was really stressful, let alone six. Even if there was only one, they could not deal with it with their strength. Only Ye Fan had the strength to deal with a Rank-6 Battle Pet. ¡°With him here, even if we lose, it won¡¯t be difficult to escape.¡± Xu Menghan looked at Ye Fan and thought to herself. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Fan no longer spouted nonsense and directly transmitted the thought. Cang Gu was the first to rush out. Demonic auras surged all over its body as it suddenly pounced forward with the victorious aura of killing the Steel-Clawed Dragon. Seeing Ye Fan take the initiative to attack first, Li Wanlie¡¯s eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. ¡°Arrogant kid.¡± As soon as he said that, the six pets that were already ready pounced forward. The Black Scythe Soul was the fastest. With a flash, it quickly floated towards Cang Gu. The other five Battle Pets aggressively charged at Ye Fan. Facing the ferocious charge of the five pets, Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya couldn¡¯t help but tense up. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm. The light around him instantly flashed, and Anissa and the Burning Knight appeared out of thin air. ¡°Senior, tell your pets to come back and protect themselves.¡± Without waiting for Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya to understand what he meant, Ye Fan suddenly waved his hand. Little Nine, Anissa, and the Burning Knight immediately rushed towards the enemy¡¯s pets. The battle instantly erupted. Chi! An ear-piercing sound suddenly erupted. The Black Scythe Soul and Cang Gu waved their weapons at the same time. Neither side dodged. They ignored the incoming weapons and attacked their opponents fearlessly. The magical bone knife and the illusory black scythe hit each other at the same time. Cang Gu¡¯s body suddenly swayed, and the soul flames in his eyes fluctuated violently before returning to normal. A deep hole instantly appeared in the place where the Black Scythe Soul was split open. Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but be shocked. It had to be known that the Black Scythe Soul had the characteristics of a void body. It was reasonable that ordinary physical attacks should not cause damage to it. ¡°It¡¯s indeed a strange energy, and its grade isn¡¯t low!¡± Gu Yue, a middle-aged man, said with a frown, fear flashing in his eyes. Even elemental energy did not cause that much damage to the Black Scythe Soul. What kind of energy was this black fog? Li Wanlie looked very surprised too, but he was still confident in the Black Scythe Soul. However, just as this thought appeared in his mind, a roar that sounded like a prehistoric beast suddenly sounded. ¡°Roar!¡± A terrifying sound wave suddenly came from the Cang Gu¡¯s mouth. The distorted void turned into an invisible wave that swept through the Black Scythe Soul. The Black Scythe Soul floating in midair suddenly stopped, and the surface of its body boiled violently. It let out a sharp and ear-piercing cry. Clearly, it had suffered a lot. ¡°This is a mental attack skill!¡± Li Wanlie and Gu Yue¡¯s expressions immediately changed, revealing disbelief. The skeleton pet was terrifyingly good at close combat and had even mastered mental attacks. What kind of freak was this! The mental attack skill countered the Black Scythe Soul. The originally evenly matched battle turned into Cang Gu having the upper hand in the blink of an eye. Li Zhe¡¯s eyes looked dull. A fifth-rank pet had suppressed a pet at the peak of the sixth rank in a head-on battle. If he hadn¡¯t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe such a thing. Wang Shengjun and the others also felt enlightened, their faces filled with shock. On the other hand, the battles of the other pets gradually became more intense. Anissa¡¯s performance was the most amazing. The vampire girl held a sword in both hands and fought in close combat. From time to time, she would use the sword to draw arrays and cast black magic. She was holding back two high-level pets of the sixth rank. Moreover, they fought back and forth. The Burning Knight¡¯s opponents were also two sixth-rank pets. At the beginning of the battle, it did not hesitate to summon its mount. A tall and majestic Flame Horse that was burning with flames. With the help of the mount, the Burning Knight was on par with the two Rank-6 pets. Little Nine was the most relaxed. Its opponent was only an intermediate Rank 6 Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Its strength was limitless, but its movements were slow. With the Clone Technique and Flash Leap, Little Nine completely toyed with the Single-Horned Dragon. It used long-range attacks to wear down the other party bit by bit and firmly grasped the rhythm of the battle. The surrounding people were already dumbfounded. They did not expect the battle to develop like this. In their expectations, facing the attacks of six Rank-6 Battle Pets, Ye Fan should have been destroyed. At the very least, he should be struggling to hold on and was about to collapse. It should not be the current situation where they were evenly matched. ¡°Is it really a fifth-rank pet?¡± Li Zhe¡¯s eyes were dull as he could not help but mutter to himself. No one answered his question. Everyone was in shock. This included Li Wanlie. It was very rare for a fifth-rank pet to be on par with a sixth-rank pet. It was difficult for ordinary Beast Tamers to train one. Take Li Zhe for example. With the support of the entire Li family, he nurtured a Steel-Clawed Dragon that could fight above its level. At this moment, however, there were four fifth-rank pets in front of him that could fight above their level. There were even two of them fighting twice more enemies. It was unbelievable. ¡°Who exactly is this person?¡± This thought flashed through the minds of the three people from the Li family, Wang Shengjun, and the others. They looked at Ye Fan with intense doubt. Someone who had so many powerful pets must have a powerful background. It could be said that he was born from an ancient family of Beast Tamers. This time, Li Wanlie already regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have provoked this youth in front of him. Ancient Beast Tamer families were all behemoths with deep foundations. Even the Li family, a famous family in Chaohai, would never provoke such a powerful enemy. Unfortunately, it was too late now. The feud had already been formed. The only way was to kill both the person involved and the witnesses. Otherwise, once the news spread, the Li family would definitely face a calamity. Thinking of this, Li Wanlie¡¯s heart was filled with killing intent. In the blink of an eye, he quickly made a decision. This thought instantly spread. The Battle Pets fighting Anissa and the Burning Knight immediately separated and turned to pounce at Ye Fan. Anissa and the Burning Knight sensed that something was wrong and wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by the other party who suddenly attacked. The sudden change made many people¡¯s expressions change. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya looked terrified and anxious. At this moment, they only had four pets, including the King Ape. They couldn¡¯t resist the enemy¡¯s surprise attack at all. ¡°Hey, let¡¯s go¡­¡± Xu Menghan immediately pulled Ye Fan back, planning to sacrifice her pet to buy time to retreat. Xiao Qiuya mobilized her soul power and prepared to use a soul technique to buy time. However, Ye Fan was faster than the two of them. He suddenly pointed, and invisible soul power immediately swept out, turning into chains. It imprisoned the two pets that were charging at him. Soul Lock! ¡°Roar!¡± The two pets of the sixth rank were shocked and struggled crazily. The invisible soul power chain shook violently, emitting a metallic friction sound. However, it was still intact and did not break. This scene stunned everyone on the spot. A soul lock that could imprison a pet of the sixth rank? Li Wanlie narrowed his eyes in shock and disbelief. It had to be known that even he couldn¡¯t restrain a sixth-rank pet with just soul techniques. He could only restrain a fifth-rank pet at most, and its level couldn¡¯t be too high. Anything above the intermediate level was too strong for him. This was even after Li Wanlie had cultivated soul techniques for forty to fifty years and had even mastered many high-level soul techniques. As for the young man in front of him, from the looks of it, he was probably not even twenty years old. In terms of soul skill attainments, he was ruthlessly dwarfed by the young man. For a moment, Li Wanlie could not help but feel a little ridiculous and dazed. Even Li Wanlie was shocked. The others were even more dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open, and they were speechless. They never expected to see such a scene one day. Even Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya, whom Ye Fan was most familiar with, involuntarily widened their eyes as they looked at Ye Fan in shock. They had seen Ye Fan¡¯s superb soul skill in the academy competition. But now, Ye Fan¡¯s soul skill had far surpassed what it had been at that time. Completely different. ¡°It¡¯s only been a few months, but his soul skill has improved so much¡­¡± Xu Menghan felt her mind go blank. Xiao Qiuya looked at Ye Fan in a daze, her usually calm face filled with shock. Among everyone, Ye Fan was the calmest. A Level 10 Soul Lock could even imprison a Rank-7 Skeleton Troll, let alone a Rank-6 pet. In less than a minute or two, the imprisoned pets had no chance to break free. Of course. Ye Fan would not give them a chance to break free. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, he slowly raised his head, his palm facing one of the imprisoned pets. Thick soul power fluctuations immediately spread. In the next moment. A soul power visible to the naked eye shook and swept out with a bang. BOOM! Chapter 121 - 121 Unbelievable Result 121 Unbelievable Result The violent shock wave instantly drowned the sixth-rank pet. The surrounding air let out deafening cries in the violent collision. Seeing this terrifying aura, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled, and their faces turned pale. Visible to the naked eye, the battle pets seemed to have fallen into the spinning turbine leaves. Blood instantly sprayed out of their bodies, and their flesh was constantly being torn apart. In the blink of an eye, it became bloody. When the tremors dissipated, the air returned to calm. There was only a completely unrecognizable corpse. ¡°¡­¡± Everyone watched this scene in a daze. They felt that their tongues were dry and they would not be able to come back to their senses for a while. Li Zhe and Gu Yue were even colder. They were drenched in sweat and felt that their thoughts were in a mess. Just the impact of soul power¡­ killed a Rank 6 battle pet. This scene was almost like a dream, making everyone feel that it was unreal. Li Wanlie¡¯s expression had long lost the confidence of winning. It was replaced by intense shock and fear. Was this child really human? Not a humanoid monster? Otherwise, how could he have cultivated the soul art to such an unimaginable level at this age? The young Beast Tamer who was not even twenty years old had killed a level 6 combat pet with only soul skills. He only used the most basic soul power attack. They didn¡¯t even dare to dream of such a thing. There was a bang. There was another deafening roar. It woke everyone up. They watched carefully. On the other side, the pet imprisoned by the Soul Lock also followed its companion. It turned into a bloody corpse lying on the ground. Everyone¡¯s mouths fell open, speechless. Ye Fan gently retracted his hand, his expression calm. It seemed that he had only killed a useless ant. After his three soul skills reached Level 10, Ye Fan¡¯s combat strength had already surpassed any of his pets. This was only because he wanted to let his pets kill the monsters and obtain experience points. Therefore, he rarely made a move. Only when the enemy was about to attack him fearlessly would he retaliate. The effect of the counterattack was obvious. The three members of the Li family were already filled with fear. Li Zhe¡¯s body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale. He had already collapsed to the ground. Ye Fan¡¯s strength far exceeded their imagination. Not only his pet, but also his own strength. He did not even need to use those strange and powerful pets. Just Ye Fan alone was enough to easily kill Li Wanlie¡¯s six sixth-rank pets. Such a terrifying power, even stronger than Li Wanlie¡¯s, could not help but him feel despair. On the contrary, after the shock, Wang Shengjun and the others were overjoyed. With Ye Fan by their side, they could finally escape. They no longer had to worry about being killed by Li Wanlie. After losing two companions, the remaining four battle pets could not compete with Anissa and the other battle pets at all. The graceful vampire girl took a few steps back forcefully and raised her hand to pull her back. Her eyes flashed red. Blood was evaporating. In an instant, the pet opposite her trembled as if it had been electrocuted. Countless drops of blood suddenly seeped out of its body and gathered in Anissa¡¯s hand, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force. Blood Vaporization was the vampire girl¡¯s strongest skill. As soon as this move was used, the enemy pet¡¯s expression suddenly became much weaker. On the contrary, after absorbing the blood and converting it into energy, Anissa¡¯s aura suddenly returned to its peak. After a few minutes, the vampire girl swung her sword, piercing the enemy pet¡¯s heart with lightning, ending its life. At the same time. The battle of the Burning Knight and Little Nine had come to an end. The scarlet spear roared and moved. It carved a huge cross-shaped flame in the air and rushed out with spinning flames. Crossfire. The raging flames instantly overwhelmed the enemy pets. Then it exploded with a bang. Violent flames soared into the sky, and the scorching temperature made the surrounding leaves brown and curl. When the flames dissipated, nothing was left. The pitiful battle pet seemed to have been destroyed, without even a trace of flesh. Suddenly. The ear-piercing whistle suddenly exploded. Two blade wheels with the Taiji patterns cut through the void like lightning, leaving bloody wounds on the injured body of the Dragon Rhinoceros. In the entire battle, the poor rhinoceros had not even touched Little Nine¡¯s clothes. It only killed a few clones, and its entire body was covered in knife wounds and bruises. The roaring howl was like the last straw that broke the camel¡¯s back. The rhinoceros wailed and its huge and heavy body fell to the ground, motionless and lifeless. Among Li Wanlie¡¯s battle pets, the Black Scythe Soul had the longest duration. Soul pets were very difficult to defeat, unless they encountered pets of the same type. Even though Cang Gu had Corpse Roar and Demon Energy, it still took a lot of effort to finally cut off the Black Scythe Soul. Accompanied by tragic whimpers, the Black Scythe Soul turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air. So far. Li Wanlie¡¯s six battle pets had already been destroyed. At some point, the surroundings became completely silent. A deathly silence enveloped the entire clearing. Be it the enemy or themselves, everyone looked at the situation in front of them in a daze. They felt like they were in a dream and their minds were in a daze, completely losing the ability to think. Just now. They were still afraid of the might of Li Wanlie¡¯s powerful lineup. Unexpectedly, all the pets were destroyed in the blink of an eye. And in such an unbelievable way. Li Wanlie, a dignified master of advanced sixth-rank pets, was defeated by a young Beast Tamer who was not even twenty years old. Chapter 122 - 122 Ruins 122 Ruins After the desperate screams, as expected, the three people from the Li family turned into three corpses lying in pools of blood. Wang Shengjun and the others were still angry. They ordered their fire pets to burn the corpses. On one hand, it was to destroy the evidence. On the other hand, it was to vent the anger and suppression in his heart. He had finally caught a rare and magical creature. As long as he returned, he could sell it in exchange for huge wealth, but he had failed in vain because of Li Wanlie¡¯s greed. Now, the monster had already become Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet. They didn¡¯t have the courage or the ability to take it back from Ye Fan, so they had no choice but to vent their depression on the corpse. Seeing this, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flickered, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Li Wanlie and the other two were finally dead¡ªat the hands of Wang Shengjun and the others. They did not have the courage to reveal what had happened today. This matter was over. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Fan had no interest in continuing to stay here. He turned to Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya. The two women were still in a daze, only waking up when Ye Fan spoke. ¡°Yeah¡­ okay.¡± Xu Menghan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Ye Fan¡¯s actions of not killing Wang Shengjun and the others made her feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. For some reason, she didn¡¯t want Ye Fan to be a cruel person. After this incident, the three of them were not in the mood to continue hunting. After some discussion, they decided to leave and return. Wang Shengjun and the others looked at Ye Fan¡¯s group leave with complicated expressions. There was a long pause. Someone couldn¡¯t help but make a sound. ¡°Boss, what should we do?¡± Wang Shengjun came back to his senses and stared at the person who spoke angrily. ¡°What else can we do? We¡¯ll keep this to ourselves. No one can say anything, or you¡¯ll know the consequences.¡± People nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice. They would only leak this matter if they were stupid. At that time, there was no telling if anything would happen to Ye Fan and the other two, bu in any case, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. Li Zhe had died at their hands. It was obvious that the Li family would never let them off. ¡°However¡­ that person is really strange. He looks at most 20 years old. Even Old Ghost Li was not his match.¡± ¡°Who says not? He¡¯s simply a demon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a Beast Tamer so good at soul techniques.¡± ¡°I think that person must be a direct descendant of an ancient pet family.¡± Listening to his subordinates¡¯ discussions, Wang Shengjun felt very emotional. Initially, they were in despair. They did not expect that a mysterious expert would jump out and kill Li Wanlie and the other two. At this moment, there was only happiness in his heart. As for that person¡¯s identity¡­ Although he was curious, Wang Shengjun was not in the mood to explore. Having been in this industry for a long time, he knew that it was best not to inquire about certain things. Those who were too curious usually didn¡¯t live long. ¡­ After calming down, Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were still in a good mood. After all, they had both obtained a fifth-rank pet with excellent potential on this trip. As long as they broke through to the fifth level, they could immediately sign the contract. While saving a lot of effort, it also further enhanced their future potential. And all of this was bestowed by Ye Fan. Both women were grateful to him. Ye Fan felt a bit regretful. There were too few third-rank pets in the Dragon Bone Forest. He didn¡¯t encounter many third-rank pets on the two trips. Otherwise, he could catch some outstanding third-rank pets for Chen Xin and Xia Mingxue. The two women had broken through three levels in the past year or two. ¡°Is this outside the Dragon Bone Forest? It feels so desolate. There¡¯s nothing here.¡± Rose lay on Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder, her eyes dripping as she looked around, her face filled with disappointment. Ye Fan patted her little head and smiled. ¡°This is the wilderness. There are most stones here. When we return to Chaohai City, you¡¯ll know what prosperity is.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Rose¡¯s eyes lit up with anticipation. She had long wanted to see the city where humans lived. At this moment, Xu Menghan suddenly asked, ¡°Speaking of which, Rose, you came out of the Dragon Bone Tower. What does it look like inside?¡± Ye Fan and Xiao Qiuya also curiously looked at her. Rose scratched her head in memory for a moment, frowning. ¡°I can¡¯t remember. When I woke up, I found myself in a dark place and ran out.¡± Yes, it was equivalent to not saying anything. Ye Fan shook his head. ¡°I wonder if I¡¯ll have a chance to go to the tower in the future.¡± Basically, all the ruins were in the hands of the military. But not all of them were closed to the public. After all, the conditions to enter many ruins were very strange. There might be an age limit. Or the limitation of strength. Therefore, in order to better explore the ruins, the military often cooperated with civil organizations or major families and financial groups. It might even be completely open to the public. The Dragon Bone Tower might fall into this category. If he could enter the Dragon Bone Tower, he might be able to trigger a new ruin mission. Speaking of ruins, Ye Fan suddenly thought of the Seven Luminaries Tower and the Deer Demon, Irene. He still had the key card that Irene had given him. This was the key to challenging the Seven Luminaries Tower¡¯s true inheritance on the seventh floor. However, according to Irene, she hoped that Ye Fan would at least reach the sixth rank before he could attempt a challenge. ¡°After breaking through to Rank 6, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± While he was thinking, unknowingly, the SUV returned to the city. From a long distance away, rose¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the towering outer wall and noisy supply point of Chaohai. ¡°W-What a huge rock. There are many people!¡± The sprite did not have the concept of a city wall in his mind. She only thought of it as a boulder. Hearing this, Xu Menghan couldn¡¯t help but laugh. A smile appeared in Xiao Qiuya¡¯s eyes. They entered the city. Rose became more and more excited when she saw the bustling streets and people. She chattered all the way. When she saw anything, she had to dance and shout for a long time, attracting the attention of many people. Seeing Rose, many people looked curious. After all, they had never seen such a magical creature. Especially the girls, they were suddenly attracted by Rose¡¯s cute appearance. In addition, Ye Fan was also a handsome man. He immediately attracted many girls. Even with two beauties by Ye Fan¡¯s side, he couldn¡¯t resist the enthusiasm of those girls. After walking for a few hundred meters, they stopped several times to deal with passers-by hitting on them. ¡°Ye Fan is really very popular.¡± Xu Menghan pouted. Her tone was inexplicably jealous. Xiao Qiuya glanced at her with a meaningful glint in her eyes. In the end, Ye Fan had no choice but to take back Rose. The people finally calmed down. Ten minutes later. The three of them returned to West Eagle Academy and stood at the entrance. Ye Fan directly walked towards his villa. On the way, he began to think about his next plan. He definitely had to participate in the school tournament in two months. It was for no other reason than the possibility of triggering the system mission. He could not let go. Then, until the start of the league, what needed to be done was very clear. Improving his strength! Ye Fan took out the interface and glanced at it. Because they had just evolved, the growth of the four pets was still very low, less than 30%. The newly contracted Rose was only about 16%. ¡°Next time, it must be used to increase growth.¡± ¡°And the main materials for evolution.¡± ¡­ Soul Dust was the main material for the evolution of Cang Gu. The main evolution material of the Burning Knight was the Fire Stardust. The Taiji Crystal belonged to Little Nine. The Heart of the Fallen belonged to Anissa. Rose¡¯s material was the Ancient Acorn. Among the five main evolution materials, only the Heart of the Fallen was obtained. However, Anissa¡¯s growth didn¡¯t increase, so it was still useless. ¡°The Soul Dust is available in the Adventurer¡¯s Association. The exchange price is 3,500 contribution points, which is not difficult.¡± Ye Fan was currently a silver adventurer and could accept silver and gold bounty missions. Silver bounty missions usually gave 100 to 300 contribution points. Gold bounty missions ranged from 800 to 1,200. In other words, as long as he completed about four bounty missions, he could basically earn the contribution points of Soul Dust. ¡°The Soul Dust is the simplest, but there are three main evolution materials.¡± Ye Fan pondered slightly. He had asked Shen Yi, Xu Menghan, and the others. He had also checked online. According to the information gathered, the Fire Stardust was melted by the body of a fire-attribute astral creature after it died. For example, Fire Spirit, Flame Traveler, Comet Beast, and so on. However, as the name suggested, astral lifeforms were not creatures of the material world. They lived in the astral world all year round and would only come to the material world under special circumstances. It could be said to be very rare. It was not easy to find fire-elemental astral creatures. Ancient Acorns were actually born from the Ancient Oak Guardians. The latter was a Rank 8 monster. Its level was not high, but there were very few of them. Therefore, it was very difficult to obtain Ancient Acorn. As for the Taiji Crystal, Ye Fan had no idea at all. No one knew what it was, and no information could be found online. Ye Fan estimated that either the Taiji Crystal hadn¡¯t been included in the list of materials for pets, or it was too unpopular and wasn¡¯t within the scope of public attention. This was not impossible. The main evolution material of Cang Gu was quite unpopular in the past. The hidden evolution path had great potential, but the materials needed were getting stranger and rarer. ¡°If there¡¯s really no other choices, I can only evolve by force.¡± Chapter 123 - 123 Evolution!! 123 Evolution!! In the following time, Ye Fan spent most of his energy hunting monsters. The location was naturally the Dragon Bone Forest. On one hand, he could increase his pets¡¯ growth by killing Rank 4 and 5 demons. On the other hand, arresting unknown war pets and selling them to the Adventurer¡¯s Association in exchange for contribution points and credit points. After the Dragon Bone Tower was discovered, the Adventurer¡¯s Association had issued a bounty mission for purchasing unknown pets. There was no limit. There would be people evaluating the value of unknown pets and converting them into corresponding contribution points and credit points. More and more adventurers surged into the Dragon Bone Forest. Ye Fan was very supportive of this. At least it was convenient for him to accumulate contribution points. Two months later. Ye Fan successfully exchanged for the Soul Dust. Even his accumulated contribution points exceeded 10,000. It met one of the conditions for advancing to a Gold Adventurer. Another condition was to become a fifth-rank Beast Tamer. Ye Fan was already that. After being verified by the Adventurer¡¯s Association, he naturally became the youngest gold adventurer in the history of Chaohai City. ¡­ ¡°This Ye Fan is really too amazing.¡± In the office on the top floor of the association building. Xia Ke threw the finished report on the table, looking surprised. The fact that Ye Fan had become a Gold Adventurer really shocked him. He remembered that more than a month ago, Ye Fan had just advanced from the Iron rank to the Silver rank. Not long after, he was promoted again. The assistant, who was standing in front of the desk, nodded in surprise. ¡°Yes, in the past two months, Ye Fan has sold 34 unknown Battle Pets to the association, including six above Rank 5.¡± ¡°Of all the adventurers, Ye Fan sells the most unknown Battle Pets. Even those Gold Adventurers and Hunter Teams are far inferior to him.¡± Xia Ke couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly. A Gold Adventurer who was not even twenty years old. Not to mention Chaohai City. The entire Alliance had never heard of it. ¡°This kid is too monstrous.¡± Xia Ke sighed. His daughter, Xia Mingxue, was very talented. However, she had just broken through to Rank 3 recently. The difference in strength between her and Ye Fan was truly shocking. Xia Ke originally didn¡¯t object to his daughter dating Ye Fan, and he was even more supportive ¡­ In the living room of the villa. Ye Fan looked at the data on the interface, a trace of joy appearing in his eyes. After two months of hunting, the growth of the five pets had improved greatly. Even Rose, the weakest, had a growth rate of more than 20%, reaching 38.91%. Speaking of this, Ye Fan sighed with emotion. It was difficult to increase the growth of support pets. After all, the combat strength of such pets was their weakness. It was difficult for them to kill monsters of the same level alone. Usually, they could only increase their growth by hunting low-level monsters. Naturally, the efficiency was not that high. For this, Ye Fan even specially brought Rose to the Withered Forest a few times. Apart from the fact that Rose¡¯s combat strength could increase in that environment, it was also because they were all Rank-3 monsters. Rose was not ashamed of this. She was sitting on the coffee table, eating a bag of snacks with relish. Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. A moment later, he returned his attention to the interface. The growth of the other four pets was: Cang Gu 100% Burning Knight 91.12% Anissa 94.26% Little Nine 85.56% Compared to two months ago, they had improved greatly. Among them, Cang Gu had reached the full growth. Coupled with the Soul Dust exchanged from the Adventurer¡¯s Association, it had already satisfied all the conditions for evolution. Without any hesitation, Ye Fan directly chose to evolve. The data on the interface immediately changed. Name: Skeleton Major Attribute: Undead Level: Low-level Rank 6 Growth: 0% Talents: Dark Vision, Limb Regeneration, Strange Strength, Weak Light Element Resistance, Weak Ice Element Resistance, Intermediate Lightning Element Resistance, Elementary Toxin Resistance, Diamond Bone, Lightning Reflex, Dark Blood Skills: Intermediate Saber Technique, Furious Slash, Undead Summoning, Corpse Roar, Life Absorption, Dark Tornado Evolution Path: ¡®Military Rank¡¯. The next stage, Skeleton Lieutenant Colonel. Requirements: 100% growth, Nether Spring Water x1, high-level Dark Crystal x5. The evolved Cang Gu directly soared by three small levels and broke through to Rank 6 in one go. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll be a real sixth-rank Beast Tamer.¡± Ye Fan was delighted. Then, he immediately checked the new skills and talents. Talent to be unlocked Harrowing Soul: Increase in Soul Strength. Initial mastery of fine control of Soul Power. Can attach soul flames to attacks and cause soul damage to targets. Requires 300 evolution points to unlock¡­ Skill to be unlocked Instant Flash: High-speed movement skill. It can teleport to a specific location. The distance cannot exceed 10 meters. Unlocking requires 300 evolution points. ¡°Another two powerful talents and skills!¡± Ye Fan took a deep breath and suppressed the joy in his heart. Harrowing Soul undoubtedly made up for Cang Gu¡¯s shortcoming in mental damage. Although Cang Gu was extremely powerful in close combat, he had pitifully few methods to deal with soul-type creatures. There were only Corpse Roar and Demonic Aura. Strictly speaking, these two could not even be considered mental attacks. Therefore, when Cang Gu dealt with soul-type creatures, he often needed to spend more effort to kill his opponent. Fortunately, there was finally a way to make up for it. Ye Fan used 300 evolution points to unlock Harrowing Soul. Then, he unlocked Instant Flash without hesitation. It was naturally better to have more of such teleportation skills. It could greatly increase Cang Gu¡¯s combat strength. ¡°In total, Cang Gu has a total of 11 talents and seven skills.¡± Ye Fan clicked his tongue in wonder. Ordinary pets at the sixth rank only had seven or eight talents and skills. The pets that had been carefully nurtured and had outstanding potential usually didn¡¯t have more than ten talents and skills. However, Cang Gu had a total of 18. It far exceeded the average level. Although it was only at the low-level of Rank 6, in terms of actual combat strength, it was not afraid at all even when facing a Rank-7. Calming himself down, Ye Fan opened his personal interface to take a look. Name: Ye Fan Grade: Rank 6 Soul Power: 20,000/20,000 Soul Skill: Guardian Soul Lv10 (0/1,200), Soul Lock Lv10 (0/1,200), Soul Power Impact Lv10 (0/1,200) Pets: Skeleton Major, Burning Knight, Witch of the Sacrifice, Vampire (Viscount), Flower Sprite Evolution Points: 1,197 After breaking through to the sixth rank, Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Power had also increased by a few thousand points. It was a moderate improvement. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I have to find another Soul Fruit. It¡¯s still a little slow to increase my soul power by leveling up ranks.¡± Ye Fan thought greedily. ¡°Next is the Academy League.¡± Chapter 124 - 124 Academy League (1) 124 Academy League (1) The Academy League was a grand event that happened once every three years. A few days before the league began, West Eagle Academy had already started a new semester. The entire academy was filled with excitement. As he walked in the academy, he could see people discussing the league excitedly and expectantly at all times. !! According to the rules of the league over the years, all academies had to send a team of five students to participate. Three days before the league, West Eagle Academy had already announced the roster. As expected. As the academy¡¯s top disciple, Ye Fan appeared in the first line of the list. Next were Zou Gen, Wang Xinggu, Duan Shaoming, and Shen Yi. The selection of participants was naturally based on the rankings of the Inter-academy Tournament. There was no need to say anything about Ye Fan. As for Zou Gen and Duan Shaoming, they were the second and third place in the academy competition. Wang Xinggu and Shen Yi were not particularly ranked high. However, the two of them were not weak to begin with. They had only lost in the school tournament because of bad luck. This time, the two of them broke through to Rank 5 before the league and successfully obtained the qualifications to participate. In other words. The participants of the West Eagle Academy were all at the fifth rank. Their lineup could be said to be the strongest in history. ¡°Even so, we can¡¯t let our guard down.¡± In the conference room, Li Peiliang sat at the head of the conference table and looked at the five participants. ¡°The Red Snake Academy and the Dark Moon Academy are equally aggressive this time. The participants of both academies are all at the fifth rank and are very strong.¡± ¡°Even the teams from the other academies have fifth-rank Beast Tamers. It can be said that the overall strength of the participants in this year¡¯s league has improved greatly compared to previous years. The competition will probably be much more intense. You have to be mentally prepared.¡± Zou Gen, Shen Yi, Wang Xinggu, and Duan Shaoming nodded solemnly. Only Ye Fan was the calmest. In his eyes, the school tournament was just a process of farming evolution points. The day after tomorrow was the league day. After discussing the time and venue, the short meeting ended. Ye Fan slowly walked out of the meeting room. Not long after, Shen Yi caught up to him. ¡°Ah Fan, I heard you contracted a new pet.¡± Shen Yi smiled. After the tomb incident, her relationship with Ye Fan had become much closer, and even the way she addressed him had changed. ¡°Yes, a support-type Flower Sprite.¡± Ye Fan casually replied, calmly sizing up Shen Yi. From her expression, it was obvious that she did not know about the three Li family members. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were still very cautious in this aspect. They knew that the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Therefore, no matter how good their relationship was, they would not reveal it. Thus, Shen Yi still didn¡¯t know that Ye Fan had defeated a senior Rank-6 Beast Tamer. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t know how shocked she would be. Even so, Shen Yi was already very emotional. A first-year student had advanced to the fifth rank. He had also become a publicly recognized trump card and main warrior in the roster. In the past league teams of the West Eagle Academy, only Ye Fan could do this. ¡­ Soon, it was the day of the league. Early in the morning. Ye Fan, Shen Yi, and the others gathered at the academy. Li Peiliang, who was the leader, led the team to the huge open-air square in the center of the city. The closer they got to the square, the denser the traffic. This showed how lively and popular the league was. In order to avoid the traffic of people entering the venue, the participating teams of the various academies walked through the staff entrance. After getting out of the car, everyone followed Li Peiliang into the spacious passage. Along the way, they could see many men and women with young faces. Clearly, they were all participants from other academies. Seeing Ye Fan and the others, these people all looked over. Zou Gen, Wang Xinggu, and the others were also secretly sizing each other up. After all, the students who appeared here could be considered potential competitors. It would naturally be better if they could obtain some information in advance. The group of people closest to Ye Fan and the others were all high-spirited. As they walked, they raised their chins slightly, looking at the surrounding crowd with a faint sense of superiority. The moment they brushed past each other. Ye Fan could clearly hear the conversation of that group of young men and women. ¡°I think they¡¯re from West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°Ah, weren¡¯t they defeated by us last year?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the one. From the looks of it, their participants this year don¡¯t seem very powerful.¡± ¡°The West Eagle Academy isn¡¯t worth paying attention to. Look over there, they¡¯re from the Dark Moon Academy!¡± ¡°Wow, they¡¯re all beauties!¡± The whispers faded. Zou Gen, Wang Xinggu, and the others looked embarrassed. Anyone who heard such contempt for their school would not feel good. However, what the other party said was the truth. They had indeed lost last year. There was no way to refute it. ¡°Don¡¯t mind their trash talk.¡± Li Peiliang comforted. ¡°The competition ultimately depends on strength. As long as we achieve good results in the competition, they will naturally feel ashamed of what they said.¡± As soon as he said this, the fourth-year students were immediately energized. ¡°Yes, Teacher is right.¡± ¡°If we meet them in the competition, we¡¯ll definitely teach them a lesson.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if they can still be so arrogant when the time comes.¡± Ye Fan curiously asked, ¡°Which academy are those people from?¡± Shen Yi replied, ¡°They¡¯re from the Red Snake Academy.¡± Ye Fan suddenly understood. No wonder even the West Eagle Academy was not taken seriously by those people. Chapter 125 - 125 Academy League (2) 125 Academy League (2) There were a total of thirteen participating academies in the Academy League. However, the three academies that received the most attention were West Eagle, Red Snake, and Dark Moon. The champion of every league was only born from these three. The other academies often just played along. !! However, as one of the top three academies, West Eagle Academy¡¯s performance in the recent league tournaments was greatly disappointing. It had been defeated by Dark Moon Academy or Red Snake Academy several times in a row. It was no wonder that the people from Red Snake Academy looked down on them. Just as Ye Fan was thinking this, a monotonous mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind. ¡°Ding¡­ Mission issued.¡± ¡°Strongest Academy: Help West Eagle Academy obtain first place in the school tournament. You will receive 4,000 evolution points after completing the mission.¡± Ye Fan was startled, but then he was delighted. He had expected the mission to be triggered, but the generous rewards were really unexpected. A total of 4,000 evolution points. It could be said to be the most rewarding mission since the system appeared. Ye Fan¡¯s heart immediately burned. He was also looking forward to the next match. While they were deep in thought, they had already arrived at the end of the passageway. Large-scale competitions like this had always been a grand event that the people liked to see. The square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people was already overcrowded. As soon as the thirteen schools¡¯ teams entered, earth-shattering cheers sounded in their ears. Countless shouts and cheers gathered into a huge sound wave that lingered in the square for a long time. ¡°It¡¯s really lively.¡± Ye Fan clicked his tongue in wonder. Every participating academy had a special lounge. Under the lead of the staff, the group quickly arrived at the lounge. There was a huge LCD screen on the wall that could display the competition. As soon as he sat down, Li Peiliang explained the things to take note of in this competition in a low voice. ¡°According to tradition, the league will take the form of a group elimination competition.¡± ¡°Each academy will send five students to the arena to fight each other in turns. The loser will leave the arena, and the winner will continue to compete. If all five students are eliminated, that academy will be considered defeated.¡± Everyone knew the rules of the competition, so they listened calmly. ¡°The West Eagle Academy, Red Snake Academy, and Dark Moon Academy are all seeded schools. They will advance by a bye in the first round. After the other ten academies decide on five winners, we will compete in the top eight together.¡± As they chatted. The competition outside had already begun. Seeing this, everyone stopped chatting and looked at the LCD screen on the wall. Five matches were broadcast live at the same time. Just as Li Peiliang had said. The overall strength of this year¡¯s participating academies had increased greatly. In the beginning, it was only a duel between Rank-4 students. Later, the students who appeared became Rank 5 students. Almost every academy had a fifth-rank Beast Tamer. ¡°In the past, other than the three academies, most academies didn¡¯t have fifth-rank students. I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many fifth-rank students this year.¡± Li Peiliang could not help but express his feelings. Zou Yong, Wang Xinggu, and the others nodded in agreement. Their gazes did not leave the screen for a moment. Almost all the best Beast Tamers of Chaohai City¡¯s younger generation were gathered in the school tournament. The dazzling style of these young geniuses competing on the same stage was undoubtedly very eye-catching. As time passed. The competition gradually became white-hot. At this moment, Shen Yi was suddenly shocked. ¡°Look at arena three.¡± Everyone was busy looking at Arena 3, but they could not help but be stunned. They saw a student who had just entered the arena raising his hand and summoning five pets. Three of them were fifth-rank pets. ¡°Actually, there are three fifth-rank pets.¡± Duan Shaoming¡¯s eyes widened as he muttered to himself, his face filled with surprise. Currently, fifth-rank students usually only had one fifth-rank pet. Those who had two were already very outstanding. He did not expect there to be a student who had three. Moreover, the student was not from the three top academies. ¡°That¡¯s Luo Qiliang from Green Pine Academy.¡± Shen Yi checked the name list in her hand and said. Zou Yong and the others looked at each other and frowned. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Green Pine Academy to have such a trump card.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a tough guy.¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard of this person before?¡± Luo Qiliang was undoubtedly outstanding among students who usually only had one or two fifth-rank pets. He immediately attracted the attention of many people. Li Peiliang got up and made a call. When he returned, his expression had become even more solemn. Luo Qiliang was from the Luo family. The Luo family? Zou Yong and the others looked puzzled. Shen Yi was slightly stunned. As if she had thought of something, her expression changed slightly. ¡°Is it the Luo family, the number one family in Chaohai City?¡± Li Peiliang nodded solemnly. Zou Yong and Wang Xinggu also reacted and revealed surprised expressions. There were many families surnamed Luo in Chaohai City. However, only one of them was known as the number one family in Chaohai City. It had helped the alliance establish Chaohai City. It was an ancient family that could compare with the military and the Adventurer¡¯s Association. Li Peiliang continued, ¡°Although Luo Qiliang is only a branch descendant of the Luo family and not a direct descendant, he is also very talented.¡± Shen Yi looked puzzled. ¡°With Luo Qiliang¡¯s qualifications, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to enter one of the top three academies. Why did he join Green Pine Academy?¡± The others looked at Li Peiliang in confusion. After a few seconds of meditation, Li Peiliang frowned and said, ¡°Green Pine Academy must¡¯ve paid a huge price to attract Luo Qiliang. They recruited him to the academy for careful training more than three years ago, so that they could succeed in this league.¡± Chapter 126 - 126 Academy League (3) 126 Academy League (3) This guess was not impossible. The ranking of the Academy League had an unparalleled impact on the reputation of the academies. Once their ranking was good, they would naturally be favored by more and more students. It would be very beneficial to the future development of the school. Therefore, the top three academies, West Eagle, Red Snake, and Dark Moon, became the targets of the other academies. Among them, the West Eagle Academy¡¯s status was the most dangerous. After all, it was the weakest among the three academies. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s expressions could not help but become a little heavy. On the screen. The competition in Arena 3 had ended. As expected, Luo Qiliang won and led Green Pine Academy to the top eight. Half an hour later. The other challenges also decided the outcome. Not long after. The academies that advanced obtained the list of the top eight. What a coincidence. Green Pine Academy was West Eagle Academy¡¯s opponent. After hearing this news, Shen Yi and the others could not help but look at each other. ¡°Since you¡¯re right, go all out. Don¡¯t underestimate your opponent.¡± Li Peiliang clapped his hands to attract everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s explain the order of the competition. We¡¯ll follow your ranking in the grade.¡± Li Peiliang¡¯s gaze swept across the four fourth-year students and finally saw Ye Fan. ¡°Ye Fan, you¡¯re the last to go up.¡± Before Ye Fan could say anything, Duan Shaoming smiled. ¡°Teacher, do you plan to send the weak first before sending the strong?¡± ¡°No.¡± Li Peiliang looked a little strange. ¡°If Ye Fan is the first to go on stage, do you think you still have a chance?¡± Everyone was stunned for a moment before they immediately smiled bitterly. Zou Yong and the others had long learned about the tomb from Li Peiliang. They knew that Ye Fan had once single-handedly killed two Rank-5 Fallen. The dead Fallen were not new fifth-rank Beast Tamers who had just broken through like them. However, they were ferocious and experienced Rank-5 powerhouses. Zou Yong and the other two asked themselves. If they encountered a Rank 5 Fallen, they would probably be defeated in the end. Self-protection had become a problem, let alone killing enemies. As a result, they greatly admired and even revered Ye Fan. With Ye Fan¡¯s strength, if he was the first to go on stage, it was really possible for him to defeat five people alone and eliminate Green Pine Academy. ¡°Although our main goal is to win the competition, using the league to train you is also one of the goals, so we¡¯ll give everyone a chance to play as much as possible.¡± Li Peiliang glanced at Ye Fan and patiently explained. Ye Fan nodded in understanding. Actually, he was fine with it. He joined the league to complete his mission. As long as West Eagle Academy could get first place in the end, it would be fine. Even if he didn¡¯t go on stage, it would be better. He could save some energy. After discussing the order of appearance, the lounge fell silent. Zou Yong and the other three sat on the chairs with their eyes closed. Ye Fan looked at the LCD screen on the wall with interest. The first match was broadcast live. ¡­ At the same time. In the lounge of Green Pine Academy. This was a festive atmosphere. The five students were all smiling. Successfully advancing to the top eight made them feel excited and ecstatic from the bottom of their hearts. ¡°It¡¯s too easy. It¡¯s not difficult to advance at all.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Qiliang.¡± ¡°Yes, Qiliang is too awesome.¡± ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have let Qiliang be the first to go on stage. He would definitely be able to defeat the opponent academy in a one-on-five battle.¡± Luo Qiliang, who had become the center of everyone¡¯s conversation, had a proud smile on his face as he waved his hand gently. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it alone. It¡¯s all thanks to everyone working together.¡± As soon as he said this, the other students immediately praised him. At this moment, someone walked into the lounge with the name list. ¡°The name list for the next match is out. Our opponent is West Eagle Academy.¡± The chat in the lounge instantly fell silent. Immediately after, there was an uproar. ¡°No way, what a coincidence?¡± ¡°How can I lie to you? The name list is here. Take a look for yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Hey, this is perfect.¡± The students looked excited. Green Pine Academy¡¯s goal in this league was to enter the top three and replace the West Eagle Academy as one of the three best academies. They were originally worried that things would not go as smoothly as they had expected. Unexpectedly, they bumped into their target in the top eight. This time, their wish was finally fulfilled. ¡°As long as we defeat the West Eagle Academy, we can enter the top four. As long as we don¡¯t encounter the Red Snake Academy or the Dark Moon Academy in the next round, we¡¯ll definitely enter the top three.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect us to be so lucky.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, West Eagle Academy is the group of people we met in the passageway just now, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. There doesn¡¯t seem to be any particularly powerful guy.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let your guard down. The students of the West Eagle Academy are all at the fifth rank.¡± ¡°Our team isn¡¯t bad either. Besides, with Qiliang around, we¡¯ll definitely kill anyone who stands in our way!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Everyone chatted happily. From the corner of their eyes, one of them suddenly saw the teacher-in-charge, Xiao Tianming, lowering his head in deep thought. He frowned slightly and could not help but ask in confusion, ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Hearing the voice, the other students also looked over. Xiao Tianming came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile. He waved the name list in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just saw something strange.¡± ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a first-year student on the list of participants from the West Eagle Academy.¡± The room fell silent. After being stunned for a few seconds, everyone finally reacted to what Xiao Tianming had said. There was an uproar. ¡°No way? First-year student?¡± ¡°Is the West Eagle Academy crazy? They actually sent a first-year student to participate?¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t been in school for long.¡± ¡°Teacher, did the information go wrong?¡± Xiao Tianming shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve asked. The list is correct. That student called Ye Fan is indeed a first-year student.¡± ¡°This is too unbelievable.¡± Everyone was speechless. ¡°Isn¡¯t there anyone else in the fourth grade? At the very least, there are third and second graders. Why did they choose a first-year student? No matter how powerful he is, that person is at most a Rank-2.¡± Before Xiao Tianming could answer, a student seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed. ¡°Speaking of which, I think I¡¯ve heard that the Champion of the West Eagle Academy this year seems to be a first-year student.¡± As soon as he said this, the others were stunned. ¡°Eh, I think I heard about this too.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that a rumor?¡± ¡°I thought so too at the beginning. Now, it seems that it might be true.¡± ¡°No way, the champion is a first-year student. This is too crazy.¡± Seeing that the students¡¯ discussion was getting more and more intense, Xiao Tianming had no choice but to clap his hands to attract everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Alright, ignore this.¡± ¡°Who cares what grade your opponent is? In any case, just do your best to deal with them.¡± The students thought about it and smiled. At this moment. Luo Qiliang suddenly said, ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t I go up for the first round?¡± Xiao Tianming looked at him in surprise. The other students clapped their hands excitedly. ¡°Alright, let Qiliang go up. He¡¯s so strong. If he goes on stage, he¡¯ll definitely be able to defeat five people and directly eliminate the West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°Haha, if we can really defeat the West Eagle Academy in one battle, our school will be extremely famous.¡± Xiao Tianming could not help but be tempted. He pondered for a moment before nodding. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re up for the first round. You must do your best.¡± Luo Qiliang revealed a smug smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Teacher. I won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Chapter 127 - 127 Competition Begins 127 Competition Begins It was different from the previous competition. There was only one match going on between the top eight. The second place was West Eagle Academy. An hour later. It was Ye Fan and the others¡¯ turn. !! Ding Chengxin stood up, and Ye Fan and the others also stood up. The other four all looked extremely nervous, with the exception of Ye Fan. His expression was incomparably calm. Still, he took a deep, nervous breath. The few of them walked out of the lounge together. After pushing open the door, * The scene in front of him was cheerful. The cheers were like landslides and tsunamis. Ye Fan examined his surroundings. He was surrounded by extremely excited spectators. The fiery atmosphere infected everyone present, including Zou Gen and Shen Yi. Their faces reddened with excitement from the bottom of their hearts. But Ye Fan was different. He was extremely calm. The venue of the competition was a square, and there was a huge stage in the middle. One side of the seats was reserved for the contestants. The seats between the two schools were less than a hundred meters apart. Ye Fan had just sat down when he felt many people looking at him. He turned to look. The five people from Green Pine Academy who were participating in the competition were staring at him. There was a deeper meaning in his gaze. Not only were they puzzled, but they were also disdainful. But they were all very confident. It was as if they were confident that they would win the following competitions. In fact, Green Pine Academy also had the strength to do so. Because until now, * Among the students from the various academies, Luo Qiliang¡¯s strength could be ranked in the top three. Even Zou Gen and Wang Xinggu did not know. As for Ye Fan, he was completely ignored by them. Most people thought that what he did was just a rumor. And a few people thought that Ye Fan was just a genius with better aptitude. But no one felt that Ye Fan could be more powerful than those fourth grade elites. In fact¡­ Many people looked down on West Eagle Academy because of this. They felt that there was no one else in the academy who could accomplish anything. They actually let a first-year student become the academy¡¯s top student. It was obvious that there were no more talents in West Eagle Academy. That was why Green Pine Academy was so dismissive. That was why they thought that the winner was already decided before the competition even started. It was just a formality. After sensing the unfriendly gaze of Green Pine Academy, Zou Gen and the others¡¯ expressions darkened, and they held their breaths. They made up their mind to make the other party lose terribly in the competition later. ¡°Ah fan! Victory!¡± A familiar voice came from the audience not far away. Following the voice, Ye Fan looked over and saw Chen Xin and Su Wan¡¯er happily waving at him. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya also cheered Ye Fan on. Almost everyone from the Rose Society was here. Ye Fan smiled back at them, then turned his attention to the competition. At this moment. The audience was guessing who would win. ¡°Is West Eagle Academy and Green Pine Academy going against each other? We have a good show to watch now.¡± ¡°I wonder who will win and who will lose?¡± ¡°West Eagle Academy is already a senior. They should win.¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. Green Pine Academy has Luo Qiliang this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How many students have three fifth-rank pets? I think Luo Qiliang will win!¡± Based on Luo Qiliang¡¯s previous performance, * While everyone was discussing, they felt that Green Pine Academy had a higher chance of winning. However¡­ There would be new news soon. The news about the first-year student from West Eagle Academy who was participating in the competition exploded in the audience. ¡°Really? There¡¯s actually a first-year student? Is there really no one else in West Eagle Academy?¡± ¡°Are they trying to lose?¡± ¡°They¡¯re probably crazy.¡± ¡°Could it be that none of them can be sent out in the fourth grade? Even if there¡¯s no one capable in the fourth grade, the second and third graders can do it.¡± ¡°Fourth grade versus first grade. The winner is already in front of us.¡± The news that the first-year students of the West Eagle Academy were participating in the competition had completely spread. The audience¡¯s discussion increased by quite a bit. The scene immediately became lively. Not everyone knew that Ye Fan was the West Eagle Academy¡¯s top disciple. The others who heard the news felt that West Eagle Academy was joking. How could a first-year student defeat Green Pine Academy? What¡¯s more, Green Pine Academy had an expert. Did West Eagle Academy want to fight four against five this time?? They were overestimating themselves. Many people felt that this scene must be very tragic. Moreover, he was the first first-year student in history to participate in the competition. The lively and noisy discussion could be heard by the people in the waiting area beside them. The people from Green Pine Academy who participated in the competition all revealed disdainful smiles. There was no reaction from West Eagle Academy at all. In this situation, * They had already thought of this. They were all mentally prepared. To be honest, * If they hadn¡¯t personally seen Ye Fan¡¯s strength, * They also didn¡¯t believe that such a monstrous and powerful genius like Ye Fan would exist. He had reached the fifth rank before the age of 20. There was probably no one like Ye Fan in Chaohai City. Seven to eight minutes later. The competition officially began. On both sides, the first contestants stepped onto the arena at the same time. This time, it was Duan Shaoming from the West Eagle Academy. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the person sent by Green Pine Academy was Luo Qiliang. ¡°It¡¯s just the beginning, and you¡¯re already sending out the strongest?¡± Ding Chengxin frowned. The others looked at each other and felt that Green Pine Academy must have some plan. Shen Yi said, ¡°The first person sent out by Green Pine Academy is already the strongest. Could it be that he wants to defeat all enemies until the end?¡± When Ding Chengxin heard this, his face instantly darkened. Then, he looked at Green Pine Academy. The participants looked at them disdainfully with mocking smiles. This time¡­ Everyone felt their anger rising. One against five. What wishful thinking. They did not respect them at all. Other than Ye Fan, the others were at least the top elites of the fourth grade. To be ridiculed like this by the Green Pine Academy, everyone was extremely angry. Ye Fan also narrowed his eyes. As they talked, * The competition had already begun in the arena. Duan Shaoming knew very well that he could not defeat the other party. Therefore, he concentrated his firepower at the beginning and summoned all his pets at once. Light flashed. The four pets stood in the ring. He had broken through to Rank 5 a month ago. However, he didn¡¯t have time to find a suitable pet, so the strongest pet he had was only a fifth-rank Frost Giant. It was also his only fifth-rank pet. He looked at Luo Qiliang. The man only summoned three pets, but they were all at the fifth rank. Rank-5 Intermediate Bronze Serpent, Rank-5 High-Level Chain Golem, Rank-5 High-Level Hound Oracle. The other two were also at the peak of Rank 4. The lineup of pets was very strong. Under the audience¡¯s anticipation, the battle started in an instant. The huge snake rushed towards the Frost Giant at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye. The giant snake¡¯s thick and long body wrapped around the other party tighter and tighter. At this moment. The Hound Oracle also quickly came over and swung the heavy hammer in his hand at the Frost Giant. Attacked by two fifth-rank pets, * The Frost Giant was soon heavily injured. Soon, it died at the hands of the Oracle after a while. The remaining fourth-rank pets were no match for the other party at all. They had no strength to resist and were trampled to death. It had only been less than two minutes. The battle was coming to an end. The audience was really not satisfied with the battle, and they were very dissatisfied that the battle was so short. Duan Shaoming was dejected. Under the gaze of the audience, he walked to his seat step by step. Zou Gen and the others were also very nervous. They knew long ago that Duan Shaoming was no match for Luo Qiliang. However, the difference in strength between the two of them was so huge that it surprised them. They understood that Duan Shaoming had tried his best. On the other hand, Luo Qiliang had only used three pets from the beginning to the end. It could be seen that he had not used his full strength. ¡°Who¡¯s next!¡± In the arena. Luo Qiliang¡¯s confident and arrogant voice sounded. He looked at the participants of the West Eagle Academy in disdain, his expression confident and disdainful. Ding Chengxin paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Shen Yi, you go this time.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Shen Yi stood up and walked over with a serious gaze. Compared to Duan Shaoming, Shen Yi was slightly stronger. All five pets were ready, and two of them were at the fifth rank. One was an intermediate Rank 5, and the other was a high-level Rank 5. Both of them were very outstanding and had potential. This was especially true for the high-level unicorn, whose potential could reach the ninth rank. When Luo Qiliang saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction. ¡°This looks more like it.¡± This condescending gaze and tone made Shen Yi very unhappy. However, she didn¡¯t say anything else and directly attacked the other party. The second match was about to begin. Soon, it reached its climax. The unicorn attacked the Hound Oracle first. The Red Flame Dragon Hawk also attacked the giant bronze snake. The other three pets of the fourth rank worked together to fight the Chain Golem. This was even more intense than the previous battle. On the spectator¡¯s stand, all eyes were focused on the arena. However, there was still a clear difference in their strength. Ten minutes later. After defeating the three pets, the Chain Golem turned around to help the Hound Oracle. Luo Qiliang had the upper hand at this moment. This battle lasted for about ten minutes. Shen Yi still lost. Only then did the audience applaud. Everyone could tell that Luo Qiliang was planning to fight all his enemies by himself and not give his teammates a chance to play. Chapter 128 - 128 One Against Five 128 One Against Five The next person to go on stage was Wang Xinggu. He was about the same level as Shen Yi. He was even slightly inferior to Shen Yi. There were only two intermediate fifth-rank pets. !! As expected, he only fought for 20 minutes before losing to the other party. The audience burst into applause and discussion again. ¡°He¡¯s already defeated three of them. I¡¯m afraid the next two are about the same.¡± ¡°I also think it might really be one defeating five.¡± ¡°There are only two people left in West Eagle Academy. Moreover, there¡¯s a first-year student. They¡¯re definitely going to lose this time.¡± ¡°This Luo Qiliang is too powerful.¡± Everyone around them felt that the West Eagle Academy was going to lose, so when the participants of the Green Pine Academy heard this, they were very proud. Ding Chengxin was still frowning. ¡°Zou Gen, you¡¯re next.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zou Gen could no longer remain calm. However, he could only sigh silently and walk up. This was because he knew very well that his strength was not much greater than the previous few people. Also, he only had two fifth-rank pets. If he attacked head-on, he would definitely be defeated quickly. There was no way he could win. But one thing was worth mentioning. After the first three battles, Luo Qiliang had consumed a lot of energy. If it was a war of attrition, there was still a chance of winning. As soon as Zou Gen stood up, Luo Qiliang waved his hand mercilessly. After a flash of light in front of him. Another pet came out. Loso Elephant! This was an intermediate Rank 5 pet. The surrounding audience exclaimed. Ding Chengxin and the others also widened their eyes. Unexpectedly, it was another fifth-rank pet. ¡°The fourth pet is also at the fifth rank. It¡¯s too powerful.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to hold back!¡± ¡°West Eagle Academy can¡¯t win this time no matter what.¡± Zou Gen¡¯s face darkened. He only had two fifth-rank pets, and his enemy had four. How could he win? ¡°Do you think that was my true strength?¡± Luo Qiliang looked at the other party with a smug smile on his face. In less than ten minutes. The battle was over. Zou Gen¡¯s expression was terrible as he walked down with his head lowered. Luo Qiliang was still standing upright in the arena, looking down at the participants from the West Eagle Academy. There was one person left. His gaze fell on Ye Fan. ¡°You¡¯re the last one, right? Come on!¡± At this moment. Everyone was in an uproar. They were certain that West Eagle Academy would definitely lose. ¡°Although West Eagle Academy is an old academy, it can¡¯t defeat Green Pine Academy!¡± ¡°Green Pine Academy¡¯s strength completely crushes the other party!¡± ¡°Especially that Luo Qiliang. He¡¯s too strong.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After this, it¡¯ll be a true one-defeating-five fight.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure. The last participant of the West Eagle Academy is a first-year student. You can imagine the outcome of a first-year student fighting a fourth-year student.¡± Everyone¡¯s discussion reached Luo Qiliang¡¯s ears. This made the smile on his face deepen. The participants from Green Pine Academy were also relaxed and did not plan to go on stage. In this situation. One defeating five was right in front of them. The chances of the other party winning were minimal. However, they really wanted to see how this first-year student would deal with it. ¡°Ding-dong! Mission issued!¡± ¡°New Attitude: As long as you defeat the five participating Green Pine Academy students and let them know of your strength, you will receive 300 evolution points! Ye Fan paused. There was actually a mission at this time? This mission came at the right time. Wasn¡¯t this reward a piece of cake? It was as easy as picking a coin up. ¡°One defeating five¡­¡± The corners of Ye Fan¡¯s mouth slightly rose, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a profound smile. ¡°That¡¯s true. I can only fight one against five in the following competition. Other than this method, there¡¯s no way to win.¡± Ye Fan stood up, thinking to himself as he walked towards the arena. Luo Qiliang looked at him. He felt that Ye Fan might have given up on the competition, which was why his expression was so relaxed and lazy. ¡°First-year student¡­¡± Luo Qiliang smiled and recalled all his pets, leaving only the giant bronze snake behind. He turned to look at Ye Fan. Joy overflowed. ¡°Since you¡¯re only a first-year student, I¡¯ll only use one pet to fight in case someone says that I¡¯m bullying you.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes twitched and he helplessly smiled. ¡°Be my guest.¡± This was the last participant from the West Eagle Academy. The people in the audience seats were all looking forward to it, especially since this was a first-year student. They were looking forward to this competition even more. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the first-year students aren¡¯t even 20.¡± ¡°He¡¯s quite handsome with exquisite facial features!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being good-looking? This is a competition. Strength comes first.¡± ¡°How long do you think he can last in this match?¡± ¡°A first-year student¡¯s pet is probably only at the second rank. What can it do? One minute? One move should be enough, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that. What if he¡¯s an expert? If he¡¯s just an ordinary first-year student, why would West Eagle Academy send him?¡± ¡°Come on!¡± The discussions around them were very loud, and Luo Qiliang could not help but begin to mock them. An expert? Does he look like one? No matter how one looked at it, the guy was a first-year novice. Still. Even if this kid was a genius expert, he was at most similar to the previous few. It was far from being a match for Luo Qiliang. He still wanted to beat him? Dream on! Luo Qiliang no longer listened to the audience¡¯s discussions. He turned to look at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with ridicule. It was basically about to end. ¡°Luo Qiliang, you have to take it easy on the first-year student. After all, he¡¯s a junior.¡± ¡°Hahaha, what are you saying!¡± The participants of Green Pine Academy began to mock him. All of them were waiting to watch the show. Ye Fan lazily summoned his Battle Pet. White light flashed. The Inferno Knight appeared beside him. The Inferno Knight¡¯s entire body was burning, causing the surrounding temperature to rise. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen it.¡± ¡°But it looks powerful.¡± The surrounding audience discussed softly. Luo Qiliang also noticed it and could not help but size up this Inferno Knight. He didn¡¯t find anything impressive. He continued to look at Ye Fan. But after Ye Fan summoned the Inferno Knight, he didn¡¯t continue. Luo Qiliang frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you only have one pet?¡± Ye Fan indifferently smiled. ¡°You only have one. I¡¯ll use one too. Fair enough. Is there a problem?¡± Luo Qiliang¡¯s mouth was slightly agape, not daring to believe that Ye Fan would actually dare to say such a thing. But soon, he curled his lips and sneered in disdain. ¡°Haha!¡± The huge bronze snake stuck out its tongue and quickly twisted its body, slithering towards Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet. It was just about to open its mouth and bite down. However, before it could get close to the other party, a stench pounced over with the breeze. The Inferno Knight was fearless in the face of danger. He raised his spear with one hand and threw all the flames onto it. The next moment. He held his spear and stabbed forward. The distance was still very long, but Luo Qiliang and the audience were stunned. They only felt their vision go black. Then, the flames from the spear pierced through the entire arena like a line. It was as if the arena had been split into two. Time suddenly stopped. The giant bronze snake froze on the spot. Hiss¡­ It sounded as if something had cracked open. Only then did they realize that the bronze snake¡¯s body had already shattered into pieces. At this moment. Blood splattered on the spot. Until its death, the bronze snake had not discovered how it had been injured by the other party. The scene was silent. No one spoke or even reacted. The audience could not believe that this was real. This speed¡­ This strength¡­ This instant kill¡­ An intermediate pet of the fifth rank was killed by a single shot. If they hadn¡¯t seen this scene with their own eyes, they definitely wouldn¡¯t think it was real. Luo Qiliang¡¯s reaction was also very real. He was stunned on the spot and did not dare to believe what happened. ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± He looked at Ye Fan in shock. He had never imagined that Ye Fan would actually have such strength. That was impossible. Wasn¡¯t Ye Fan just a first grader? Even fourth graders couldn¡¯t win against him, let alone Ye Fan. What was even more ridiculous was that Ye Fan had such powerful strength! After a while. Only then did everyone react. The applause was like a wave, and the audience¡¯s blood was boiling. ¡°This is unbelievable.¡± ¡°The other party is a intermediate-level Rank-5 pet. It was actually killed in an instant.¡± ¡°Did we see wrongly?¡± ¡°Could it be that Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet is at the sixth rank? It doesn¡¯t seem like it. It really looks like it¡¯s only at the fifth rank.¡± Everyone was shocked. The Inferno Knight¡¯s shot just now surprised everyone. Even Zou Gen¡¯s jaw dropped as he stared at Ye Fan in disbelief. They understood just how powerful Ye Fan was. But they didn¡¯t know that Ye Fan was actually this powerful. He could even instantly kill a Rank-5 pet. This was simply ridiculous. After a while. Everyone¡¯s doubtful gazes landed on Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn¡¯t notice. He was still as calm as ever as he glanced at Luo Qiliang. ¡°Should you summon other pets?¡± After he said that¡­ Luo Qiliang¡¯s face instantly turned red, as if he had been mocked in the same way he mocked Ye Fan. This was a blatant slap in the face. In an instant, the bronze snake was killed. It was as if Ye Fan had stepped forward and slapped him in the face. Not only was it awkward, but it was also especially embarrassing. Chapter 129 - 129 I Underestimated You 129 I Underestimated You ¡°I underestimated you. I apologize for that.¡± ¡°Your position as the top student of the academy is really something.¡± Luo Qiliang said word by word, but he was actually very angry. Just as he finished speaking, * He waved his hand. The Hound Oracle, the Chain Golem, and the Loso Elephant all reappeared. There was a fourth-rank pet next to him. From the looks of it¡­ He didn¡¯t dare to look down on Ye Fan anymore. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s strength, he decided to go all out to defeat him. But Ye Fan didn¡¯t have any reaction. Luo Qiliang frowned. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to summon a few more?¡± Ye Fan faintly smiled. ¡°One is enough.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so arrogant.¡± Luo Qiliang was so angry that he laughed. Just now, the bronze snake was destroyed by a single move. He could tell that Scorching Fire must have activated some fatal skill. This skill would probably take a long time to prepare, and the consumption would definitely be great. The pet probably wouldn¡¯t be able to use it again in a short period of time, so he wasn¡¯t worried about this move. Luo Qiliang quickly thought of a countermeasure in his heart. ¡°Phew!¡± The four pets charged forward fearlessly, planning to kill the Scorching Fire one after another. However, just as they were about to charge forward, a burst of flames erupted. The two-meter-long fire pillar soared into the sky and drowned the four pets in an instant. This was the Flame Pillar! There wasn¡¯t even a wail. The pets were burned to ashes. At this moment. Roars came. Riding on a horse and holding a spear, the Scorching Fire charged over like lightning. It was extremely fast and powerful, like a ball of extremely hot flames. Rumble! Under everyone¡¯s witness, * The two of them fought in the arena. The airwaves surged with immense power. The dust that filled the sky scattered in the air. It was as if the Hound Oracle had been thrown out. Its body emitted the sound of bones cracking. Many bones were probably broken. However, the Scorching Flame only tilted its body slightly and stood there unscathed. It suddenly swung its spear. The scorching light wave spread in all directions, and in an instant, it consumed the Chain Golem and the Loso Elephant into this fluctuation. The power of heat! The two pets were smoking and howling. It had only been less than ten minutes. Scorching Fire used four powerful skills. The audience was dazzled and amazed. ¡°Isn¡¯t¡­ isn¡¯t this too amazing?¡± ¡°This first-year student is actually so strong. I thought¡­ it seems like our horizons are too limited.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s why the West Eagle Academy sent him to participate in the competition.¡± ¡°He is indeed powerful.¡± ¡°I knew it. This must be an expert.¡± At this point, how could everyone not know? The first-year student in front of them was not an ordinary first-year student. The four fourth-year students sent by the West Eagle Academy could not even defeat Luo Qiliang. However, this guy defeated the other party with only one pet. It was obvious. This first-year student was the strongest participant from the West Eagle Academy. ¡°¡­¡± Luo Qiliang was basically dumbfounded. His face was filled with embarrassment. He did not believe that this was the truth at all. He couldn¡¯t accept that he would fail and that he couldn¡¯t hurt one of the enemy¡¯s pets after using all his strength. This was too unreal. How could a mere first-year student possess such strength? Just as he was in a daze. The battle in the arena was almost over. The Scorching Fire fought two pets by itself, but it was not injured at all. After a while. The Chain Golem and the Loso Elephant were both killed by the Scorching Fire. After that. The Hound Oracle, who was already seriously injured, was also killed by a single shot. That was it. The battle was over. Ye Fan suppressed Luo Qiliang. Luo Qiliang had no chance of winning. Luo Qiliang looked at his dead pets in despair. His mind was blank and he was still in a daze. ¡°Next?¡± How ironic. He should be saying that now. Ye Fan indifferently said, looking at Luo Qiliang. After that. He looked at the participants of Green Pine Academy. He smiled faintly. ¡°Who¡¯s next?¡± The scene was silent. No one dared to speak in such a large venue. Everyone was stupefied, their eyes all on Ye Fan, their faces filled with terror. After defeating four opponents, Luo Qiliang, who was about to crush all five opponents, was actually defeated so ridiculously. And he was completely crushed by Ye Fan. No one would believe it. Everyone shook their heads, thinking that what they saw just now was an illusion. Luo Qiliang¡¯s face turned pale, and he didn¡¯t say a word. He could not accept that he had been defeated by a first-year student. But this was also reality. Seeing that the dead pet was about to dissipate, it proved his failure. A long time passed. The staff came up to remind him. Luo Qiliang came back to his senses and looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. Then, he staggered back to his seat in the Green Pine Academy. None of the participants made a sound. Xiao Tianming and the other participants were shocked and did not respond for a long time. The staff came to urge him. Only then did he come back to his senses and look at the soulless student beside him. He was also a little hesitant. But then he immediately said, ¡°Luo Qiliang was defeated because he was exhausted. After all, he was able to defeat four people at once, which was something no one else could do. Dragging his exhausted body to fight Ye Fan gave Ye Fan an opportunity.¡± ¡°Ye Fan was just lucky. We still have four, so we should be able to defeat him.¡± After hearing this, * The silent participants finally understood. Exactly. Only one of them had lost. The other side had lost four people, and now there was only one left. With the four of them taking turns, they were still able to defeat Ye Fan. It was indeed a pity that Luo Qiliang could not defeat five people alone, but the most important thing now was to advance. Victory was the most important. All the participants instantly perked up, and the frustration from before disappeared. ¡°Xu Gang, go ahead!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The student named stood up and strode forward. ¡°I¡¯m next.¡± Stepping onto the stage, he firmly looked at Ye Fan. He understood that Ye Fan was powerful, but it wasn¡¯t like he couldn¡¯t defeat him. Ye Fan only summoned one Battle Pet and didn¡¯t summon any others. It could be seen that this was the most powerful one Ye Fan had. As long as he defeated this one, * He would win. ¡°What a coincidence. My pet is an ice beast. It can counter the Scorching Fire of the fire element!¡± Xu Gang became more and more confident. A smug smile appeared on his face. He felt that he would definitely win this time. The match began. Xu Gang had summoned all his pets from the beginning. Compared to Luo Qiliang, his lineup was much more stable. Although only two of the five pets were at the fifth rank, and they were at the lower and intermediate fifth rank respectively, * with their attributes restraining their opponent¡¯s, he was very confident. ¡°Ice attribute¡­¡± Ye Fan was lost in thought. Above the water element was the ice element, which was indeed effective against the fire element. He thought for a moment. Ye Fan glanced at the system¡¯s board and unlocked the ice element resistance of the Scorching Fire. He also increased its high-level ice element resistance. Just as he finished setting up, the giant ice beast roared and rushed over. Its huge body shook with every step it took. What was even more eye-catching was the cold aura it exuded. About ten meters away from the Scorching Fire, the giant ice beast slapped the ground. After a loud sound. Ice spikes condensed from the ground and quickly extended, forming ice tracks. This end of the tracks was the Scorching Fire. Before the icicles arrived, the extreme cold was already one step ahead. This shocked everyone. This attack was too fierce, but the Scorching Fire did not dodge at all. Instead, it faced it head-on. Seeing this, * Xu Gang was in disbelief. He looked at the other party in doubt, but soon, joy appeared on his face. ¡°You actually have the guts to fight head-on? You¡¯re courting death!¡± Xu Gang grinned from ear to ear. But in the next moment. His smile vanished. The Scorching Fire was not afraid of these ice spikes at all. It directly ignored them and shot the Frost Beast in the head. The Frost Beast did not expect that its best skill would be broken by the other party. Moreover, it was already too late for it to dodge. Its head was pierced by the Flame Spear, and its entire body seemed to have been electrocuted. It instantly fell to the ground and died. The scene seemed to have paused. The exclamations just now disappeared at this moment. Everyone was dumbfounded. Xu Gang was even more shocked and his mind went blank. Were fire-type pets that arrogant? It could actually ignore ice-element skills. Chapter 130 - 130 Ignoring Restraint 130 Ignoring Restraint The surroundings were extremely quiet. The spectators were collectively stunned. The skill of the Frost Beast belonged to the ice element. How could it not work on fire pets? Wasn¡¯t the ice attribute supposed to counter the fire attribute? What was going on? Could it be that Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet wasn¡¯t of the fire attribute? That was unlikely. Seeing that its entire body was burning with flames, it must be of the fire attribute. Everyone had many doubts. Especially Xu Gang. He was starting to doubt his life. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Absolutely not!¡± Xu Gang looked like he couldn¡¯t accept this. Ye Fan lightly glanced at him, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Although its resistance was not immune to all of ice elements, * it was not a big problem to resist a pet of the fifth rank. After all, he had spent a lot of evolution points. He had spent a total of 900 evolution points to unlock the resistance. He would need to spend 1000 evolution points to obtain a higher level of ice element immunity. However, he did not have many evolution points on hand. It was not enough, so he did not unlock the resistance. Otherwise, * The Frost Beast¡¯s skill could not reach the Scorching Fire at all. Hiss¡­ The spear was pulled out of the Frost Beast¡¯s body by the Scorching Fire. It turned around and stabbed it into the body of the other fifth-rank pet. By the time Xu Gang reacted, it was already too late. He could only watch as the Scorching Fire killed his pets one by one. Not long after. Only the last pet had not been killed by the Scorching Fire. Xu Gang¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled. He could not make a sound at all. After a while. He lowered his head and walked down the arena with difficulty. At this moment. Xiao Tianming wanted to say something but hesitated. The other participants were all stunned. They did not expect Xu Gang to lose so quickly. Two fifth rank Battle Pets and three fourth rank ones had died without even touching a single strand of Ye Fan¡¯s hair. This time¡­ The pressure was all on Green Pine Academy. The entire place was so quiet that no one dared to breathe loudly. Unlike them, the West Eagle Academy was happy. The frustration from before was completely gone. ¡°Truly amazing! Ye Fan!¡± Shen Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with envy and worship, looking up at Ye Fan like a fan. The other three people beside him nodded repeatedly. They knew that Ye Fan couldn¡¯t possibly lose. But this victory was too smooth. They were mentally prepared, but they were still shocked. Because up until now, Ye Fan had only summoned one Battle Pet. He did not even use half of his true strength. It was too unbelievable. The people watching the battle instantly changed their view of Ye Fan. They completely felt that the West Eagle Academy was very impressive. ¡°This first-year student is terrifyingly strong!¡± ¡°It¡¯s like cheating.¡± ¡°So this West Eagle Academy dug a trap for the Green Pine Academy to jump into. This first-year student is much stronger than the fourth-year students.¡± ¡°Green Pine Academy is going to lose this time.¡± ¡°How could it lose? Unless Ye Fan defeats five people at once. There are still three people in the Green Pine Academy!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see!¡± The discussion reached Xiao Tianming¡¯s ears. His face was heavy and ashen. He had thought that he would definitely win this round. He hadn¡¯t expected a dark horse like Ye Fan to suddenly appear. It was hard to tell who would win and who would lose. However, he could not come to a conclusion until the end. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Tianming finally came up with a plan. In the blink of an eye, his gaze landed on a thin boy. ¡°Next, Zhang Yuan!¡± ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pet was probably specially trained. Its innate talent and techniques have all been awakened, so it¡¯s comparable to the sixth rank.¡± ¡°However, such a pet is hard to come by. He must have trained it with all his might. It¡¯s the only one.¡± ¡°The mission I¡¯m giving you is not to win, but to wear him down. It doesn¡¯t matter even if you lose in the end.¡± ¡°As long as you try your best to exhaust his pets, the next two rounds will be much easier.¡± Zhang Yuan thought about it. It was a good idea. He was no longer flustered as he strode towards the arena. Next was the third round. As soon as the match started, * Zhang Yuan summoned his five pets. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise¡­ All five pets were only at the fourth rank. This made Ye Fan a bit surprised. He had originally thought that the Green Pine Academy would send a fifth rank Beast Tamer. ¡°Looks like you only want to persist as long as possible.¡± Ye Fan indifferently turned to look at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan was a bit afraid, not daring to meet Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Devour,¡± Zhang Yuan ordered. The ant pet near him went to another pet and opened its mouth. Puchi¡­ Blood splattered. Everyone was discussing fervently. The spectators were all stunned by his actions. They had not even started fighting, and his pets were already killing each other? But Ye Fan understood. He raised his eyebrows, feeling that this person was a bit creative. ¡°Interesting!¡± He did not attack immediately and looked at the scene in front of him with interest. The other three pets seemed to know what was going on. They were willing to be eaten by the giant ant, without resistance. The ant¡¯s surface began to emit a red light, and then its aura soared, instantly reaching Rank 5. After that. It raised its tail and spat out an egg with mucus. When the egg touched the ground, it scattered, and countless ant monsters the size of dogs crawled out. Seeing this, * Ye Fan seemed to remember something. This ant at the peak of the fourth rank was a very rare nest-type pet. It could devour other pets and upgrade temporarily, and the way it fought was unusual. The combat power of the giant ants was very ordinary, but these eggs hatched in groups and in huge numbers. In an instant. The arena was surrounded. Zhang Yuan sighed and prepared to attack. The ants charged at Ye Fan one after another. The Scorching Fire moved the spear in its hand and defeated the ants. After the ants were pierced, they were quickly stopped moving. From the looks of it, Ye Fan seemed to know that these ants were all at the third rank. Moreover, there were hundreds of ants now. With Zhang Yuan¡¯s strength, he could indeed fight a Rank 5. Green Pine Academy seemed to be filled with talents. Seeing this, * Ye Fan was still very calm, not panicking at all. He could see that * Green Pine Academy had sent Zhang Yuan this time, not another Rank-5. This meant that they wanted to exhaust the Scorching Fire. It would be easier for the other two Beast Tamers to fight him. ¡°This plan is worth a try.¡± Ye Fan was somewhat amazed by this person¡¯s scheming ability. In the arena. The sound of a spear piercing through an ant¡¯s shell was heard, mixed with the sound of flames burning. Each attack could take away an ant. Each ant could not survive for more than five seconds under the scorching heat of the fire. It was quickly burned to death by the high temperature, and its corpse quickly burned. Zhang Yuan was a little frightened by the incomparably ferocious power of the Scorching Fire. Originally, he thought¡­ He still had a chance of beating Ye Fan. He didn¡¯t dare to think that way anymore. ¡°This first-year student is so terrifying that he doesn¡¯t look human!¡± Zhang Yuan had fought many Rank 5 opponents before, but none of them were like this. The ants that he was originally proud of were easily killed by the Scorching Fire. The ants could not hurt the other party at all. Moreover, this battle of attrition had only lasted for three minutes. The swarm of ants that had come one after another just now had all died. However, the Scorching Fire was also a little tired, and the flames around it weakened. They had been waiting for this moment. Xiao Tianming¡¯s other participants had achieved their goal. The audience also felt that Ye Fan¡¯s side wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on much longer. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s working.¡± ¡°Not everyone can defeat five people alone!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a first-year student after all, but he¡¯s already very good after fighting for so long.¡± ¡°He can only blame his teammates. They¡¯re so weak that they can¡¯t withstand a single blow!¡± Zou Gen and the others instantly fell silent. ¡°Ding Liying, you go next.¡± Zhang Yuan admitted defeat readily. Xiao Tianming said to a girl behind him. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that pet can¡¯t do it anymore. You can deal with it when you go on stage.¡± ¡°No problem, Teacher. Let me do it!¡± Ding Liying replied with a smile. She was very confident. As the last fifth-rank participant of the Green Pine Academy, * If it was the Scorching Fire from the beginning, she knew very well that she could not defeat it. However, the Scorching Fire was already exhausted and could be easily defeated. Therefore, she was confident. A competitor beside her said proudly, ¡°Looks like I don¡¯t even have to go on stage.¡± Ding Liying also smiled and turned to leave her seat. After reaching the arena, she politely said to Ye Fan, * ¡°You¡¯re really good. You shocked us.¡± ¡°But you¡¯re still young and have room to grow. In another two to three years, you¡¯ll definitely be the strongest.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just too early for you.¡± ¡°It seems that your pet is already tired. Don¡¯t blame me for being merciless in the competition later.¡± Ye Fan was a bit amused. There was a slight pause. He smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. In that case, let it rest. I¡¯ll use another one!¡± As soon as he finished speaking. With a flash of white light, another fifth-rank pet appeared in front of him. This was a vampire. Everyone was dumbfounded. Ding Liying¡¯s confident smile froze at this moment. She was speechless. Ye Fan faintly smiled. ¡°Your worries are a little unnecessary, so you don¡¯t have to worry about me when you fight later.¡± Chapter 131 - 131 This Is Cheating 131 This Is Cheating ¡°You¡­ How did you¡­¡± Ding Liying was dumbfounded. She looked at Anissa in front of her, her eyes filled with panic. Why was there another one? Moreover, it was a blood-sucking type. !! She could tell that the pet was a viscount-level vampire. In other words. It was also a fifth-rank pet. ¡°This¡­ this is cheating, right?¡± Ding Liying couldn¡¯t cry even if she wanted to. Her teammate had spent so much effort to exhaust the fire-element pet. They were about to win. Ye Fan actually summoned another fifth rank pet. He had ruined everyone¡¯s hope. In the audience seats. Xiao Tianming and the other participants were also silent, their hearts filled with despair. Just now, they had spent a lot of effort to deal with one. Now there was another one. There were only two contestants left. Could they win? Moreover, after dealing with the second one, there might be a third, fourth, and fifth one. This first-year student from West Eagle Academy was really not simple. Because he did not show his trump cards at the beginning, no one could say for sure now. At this moment. The participants of Green Pine Academy were all in despair. They originally thought that they could win. But they had encountered a dark horse like Ye Fan. He was only a first-year student, but he was already so powerful. He was simply a monster. The audience sighed. Who would have thought that Ye Fan would actually summon a second fifth-rank Battle Pet? ¡°There¡¯s actually a second one?¡± ¡°A viscount-level vampire is almost the same as a dragon pet!¡± ¡°Not to mention the dragon type, even an ordinary fifth rank pet is shocking enough. Is this Ye Fan really just a first year?¡± ¡°How can the information published on the official website be wrong? So this person must be a genius.¡± ¡°This strength is terrifying.¡± On the stage. Ding Liying could only brace herself. ¡°Even if it¡¯s a vampire, I can¡¯t lose.¡± She only had one Rank 5 pet, but it also had the strength of Rank 5 high-level. Ye Fan¡¯s Inferno Fire was already exhausted. If they continued to fight a war of attrition, * It was not impossible to win. This thought spun quickly in her mind, so she felt a little more confident. But in the next moment. The vampire raised the staff in her hand and said coldly, * ¡°Blood Boiling!¡± As soon as he said that, the five pets that went to Anissa all cried out. Their bodies seemed to have evaporated, and beads of blood appeared like beads of sweat. Moreover, they were sucked into Anissa¡¯s hand and gathered into a large blood ball. The four pets of the fourth rank were killed on the spot, unable to fight back at all. The high-level fifth-rank pet was the same. Its flesh contracted and its body shriveled. It was seriously injured. Before she could react, * Anissa turned the snowball in her hand into a spear. Puchi¡­ The blood-red spear pierced through the fifth-rank pet. It was a pity that the pet was killed in less than ten seconds despite being fifth-rank high-level. ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Ding Liying was dumbfounded and couldn¡¯t say a word. Her face was filled with fear. The audience was also silent. No one could react. He killed a fifth-rank pet in an instant. Just what was going on with Ye Fan? ¡°Teacher! We¡¯re now¡­¡± The remaining participant of the Green Pine Academy looked at Xiao Tianming. Now he was the only one left, but he didn¡¯t have the confidence to defeat Ye Fan. Not mention anything else. Just the tired Inferno Fire and the vampire alone were too strong for him to win. Xiao Tianming was also helpless. At this moment. ¡°Looks like we¡¯re going to lose. There¡¯s no other way. No one expected such a monster to come to West Eagle Academy.¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions darkened. Whether it was Green Pine Academy or the audience outside, they were all very clear. It was obvious who would win this match. Therefore, the subsequent development was just as everyone thought. The last contestant was defeated by Anissa as soon as he summoned his pets. He very smoothly lost to Ye Fan. At this point. The competition between the two academies ended. Ye Fan had defeated five people at once, turning the situation around. The West Eagle Academy now had the qualifications to enter the semifinals. ¡°This is amazing.¡± ¡°Who would have thought? This first-year student is actually so powerful.¡± ¡°One against five!¡± ¡°I think this year¡¯s game will be interesting.¡± Discussions broke out around them. Everyone was shocked. Although Ye Fan had easily won against five people, * the participants of the competition were all elite students from each academy. Even if their strength varied, they were not much different. Basically, it was very rare for a one-defeating-five situation to occur. Actually¡­ If West Eagle Academy did not send this first-year student to participate in the competition, * Green Pine would not want to defeat five people with one person. If the last person wasn¡¯t Ye Fan, but another fourth grade student, Luo Qiliang might have a hard time defeating him. Because at that time, he would have used up most of his energy. That was why everyone had been so amazed when Ye Fan had won against five people. Moreover, he was only a first-year student. Under everyone¡¯s worshipful gazes, Ye Fan calmly walked back to his seat. ¡°How awesome! One against five!¡± Shen Yi¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Fan. ¡°Well done!¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s tone was also filled with excitement. After winning this match, West Eagle Academy entered the semifinals. In other competitions, other than Red Fire and Dark Night, Green Pine Academy was probably the best. To be completely honest. Even if they lost to either of the two schools in front of Green Pine in the following competitions, West Eagle Academy would still be in third place. It would not be squeezed out of the top three. This could be considered mission accomplished to the school¡¯s higher-ups. However¡­ If he could defeat those two schools, it would not be bad to win the second place. If he could win both of them, it would not be bad to become the champion. That was what Ding Chengxin was thinking. Everyone looked at him with worship and respect, but Ye Fan was very calm. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the lounge!¡± There was only one match today. The semi-finals were tomorrow because this would give the participants time to rest. Although the West Eagle Academy competition had ended, * they could still stay and watch the competitions of the other academies. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win every battle. Moreover, taking this opportunity to understand more about his future opponents would be beneficial to him. Ye Fan didn¡¯t really care. On the way back, he looked at the mission notification. ¡°Congratulations on completing the mission. 300 evolution points have been credited.¡± Previously, after unlocking the resistance of the Inferno Fire, he only had more than 200 evolution points. However, after this mission, he had another 300 points. ¡°Rank 5 pets require more than 4000 evolution points. Unfortunately, it¡¯s not enough.¡± Ye Fan sighed. After that, he did not pay much attention to it. After completing the mission of Strongest Academy, the accumulated evolution points should be enough to force both pets to evolve. Still. If he could find the main materials, he could evolve them normally. He thought about this. They went back into the lounge. He had just walked in. A fragrance rushed over from the front. The owners of the fragrance was on Ye Fan¡¯s left and right, holding his arms. After that. Ye Fan felt the fragrance getting closer and closer, and he was kissed twice on the face. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Green Pine and those arrogant guys are probably dumbfounded now! It¡¯s only a matter of minutes for Ah Fan to defeat them!¡± Su Wan¡¯er and Chen Xin¡¯s faces were filled with excitement. Ding Chengxin and the others looked at the big screen as if they had seen nothing. Ye Fan was very helpless. These two girls were getting bolder and bolder. After all, there were so many people around and they did not care about the occasion at all. Suddenly. Ye Fan felt as if someone was looking at him. He turned his head and saw Xu Menghan. She had a complicated expression as she watched Ye Fan interact with the other two people. However, she hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to suddenly turn his head in her direction. She paused for a moment before looking away. Ye Fan was stunned. Xiao Qiuya also saw this scene, but she was indifferent. She just adjusted her glasses. Soon, night fell. The quarterfinals were over. Just as everyone expected. The final winners were the Red Fire Academy and the Dark Night Academy. However, a student from Changsu Academy had also advanced. At this moment. The feats of the legendary first-year student from the West Eagle Academy and his glorious achievement of defeating five opponents by himself had already spread throughout the crowd and caused a sensation. Almost everyone who heard about this competition was shocked. In the afternoon. All the participants knew Ye Fan¡¯s name. Under such circumstances, * The name list for the PK was soon out. Red Fire versus Changsu, West Eagle versus Dark Night. Chapter 132 - 132 There’s Another Genius 132 There¡¯s Another Genius ¡°There are many young people with potential in this competition!¡± In the lounge. The leader of the Dark Night Academy, Pang Ying, looked at the name list and sighed. Except for Green Pine. !! There were three Rank-5 participants in this year¡¯s competition, and there was even Luo Qiliang. He was so close to bringing Green Pine into the semifinals. And the most shocking one was Ye Fan from the West Eagle Academy. Previously, in the school¡¯s league, there had never been such a situation of first-year students competing. Therefore, when everyone knew that West Eagle Academy brought a first-year student to the competition, * Basically, they all thought that there was no one better in West Eagle Academy. But the current situation was¡­ Not only did West Eagle Academy have people, but there was also a genius. Moreover, West Eagle Academy¡¯s decision was very correct. They had brought the first-year student to the competition, and they did not expect this first-year student to defeat Green Pine at the critical moment. As a result, West Eagle Academy was promoted. Therefore, under such circumstances, when the school was facing a crushing defeat, the first-year student who appeared and saved the day was currently in the limelight. He was a miracle figure that everyone praised. Even Pang Ying had never seen a student as talented as Ye Fan after teaching for so many years. He had reached the fifth rank at the age of 20. Even the heirs carefully nurtured by those noble families might not have such talent. It was really phenomenal. Just as he was thinking this, cheers came from outside. ¡°Look, Ye Fan¡¯s photo is on the Internet.¡± ¡°Let me see what he looks like.¡± ¡°Not bad. He¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a handsome man to exist.¡± There were many girls in the Dark Night Academy, and most of the students were female. The participants in this competition were all the same. The five beautiful girls gathered together and looked at Ye Fan on the screen. Pang Ying was speechless. He rolled up the paper in his hand and knocked the girls¡¯ heads one by one. ¡°Don¡¯t be infatuated. Hurry up and think of a countermeasure. The next match is our team against the West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°Teacher, we¡¯re considering countermeasures here.¡± Pang Ying was speechless. He felt that Han Xiaomin was spouting nonsense. ¡°You can ignore the other students of the West Eagle Academy, but this Ye Fan isn¡¯t simple. The two Battle Pets he summoned seem to only be at the fifth rank, but their strength is probably at the sixth rank.¡± ¡°Most importantly, it¡¯s obvious that he didn¡¯t use his full strength in the last match. No one knows how strong he is or if he has other pets.¡± After hearing the instructor¡¯s words, everyone started to get serious. Han Xiaomin suggested, ¡°How can he have so many powerful pets? Generally speaking, having one is already very powerful. He might just be lucky to have two. I don¡¯t believe he has a third one.¡± Everyone thought so too. ¡°If there are only two of them, Xiao Nan can deal with them.¡± After Han Xiaomin finished speaking, everyone looked at Xiao Nan. Tang Nan was the top student of the Dark Night Academy. She was beautiful and did not speak much. Moreover, the school had high hopes for her. She could be considered a trump card prepared by the school. Originally, they wanted her to fight against the Red Fire Academy, and they did not include the West Eagle Academy in their plan. But this year, Ye Fan had appeared. But it didn¡¯t matter much because this was a team battle. The members of the Dark Night Academy who participated in the competition were all stronger than the West Eagle Academy. Xiao Nan was dealing with Ye Fan. Then the others would not be a threat. ¡°Alright, everyone is dismissed. Go back and rest. The competition is tomorrow.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Han Xiaomin and the other girls agreed and left playfully. ¡­ ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± The people from West Eagle Academy were also about to leave. Shen Yi noticed that Ye Fan was looking at a place not too far away. Ye Fan reacted and looked at the person beside him. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I think I saw a contestant from the Dark Night Academy.¡± Shen Yi and the others already knew which academy they were going to fight tomorrow. When they heard that it was the participants from the Dark Night Academy, they all turned to look. Wang Guxing¡¯s gaze was attracted by a group of beautiful girls. ¡°It¡¯s indeed an academy with many beauties!¡± Ye Fan faintly smiled. The beauties of the West Eagle Academy were not inferior to those of the Dark Night Academy. Among the few of them who came together with him, any one of them could compare to the people in the Dark Night Academy. Duan Shaoming¡¯s looks were relatively bad, but he was still considered good-looking. ¡°I heard that the Dark Night Academy sent an ace student to participate. I think her name is Tang Nan.¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. In the competition, the Dark Night Academy basically crushed their opponents and won in the end. Moreover, only two participants were sent out. For the other three participants, including Tang Nan, they did not know much about these people. As soon as Ding Chengxin said that, the others became curious. ¡°Is Tang Nan really that strong?¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s voice was serious. ¡°A little stronger than Luo Qiliang.¡± Shen Yi and the others looked at each other in surprise. Even if Luo Qiliang was defeated by Ye Fan, he was still an unbeatable existence to anyone else. Now, there was someone more powerful than him. This competition was really difficult to win. Su Wan¡¯er smiled. ¡°We have Ye Fan. What¡¯s there to worry about?¡± Everyone looked at Ye Fan and saw that he was completely calm, not the slightest bit surprised. That was true. Currently, the West Eagle Academy had Ye Fan. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back and rest!¡± Everyone relaxed a lot and left happily. ¡­ The next day. The competition officially began. The first match was between the West Eagle Academy and the Dark Night Academy. Ye Fan walked out. The audience seemed to have exploded with cheers, like a tsunami. Ever since he became famous in the battle yesterday, * Many people knew who Ye Fan was, so they had come early in the morning to fight for a seat. Furthermore, the loudest cheers came from the girls. Their eyes were shining as they looked at Ye Fan, like fans looking at their idol. ¡°Ye Fan is too popular.¡± ¡°I am truly envious.¡± Zou Gen and Wang Guxing could only be envious. Duan Shaoming smiled and said, ¡°If you were as powerful as Ye Fan and could defeat five people at once, you would definitely be as popular as him now!¡± The two of them were helpless. How was that possible? Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s easy to defeat five people alone. They definitely couldn¡¯t be compared to geniuses like Ye Fan. As they spoke and laughed, * They all came to the exclusive waiting area for the competition. The two schools were only 20 meters apart. Pang Ying and Tang Nan sat down early. Seeing Ye Fan walk over, Han Xiaomin and the others quickly looked at him. ¡°He¡¯s much more handsome than in the photos!¡± ¡°After the competition, why don¡¯t we ask for his phone number?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s going? Share it with us when you get there!¡± ¡°No way!¡± Pang Ying was furious. ¡°Sit down quietly. The competition is about to start, and you¡¯re still joking.¡± Only when the teacher was angry did they shut up. Tang Nan had been quietly watching Ye Fan the entire time. She believed that the only competitor in the West Eagle Academy who could match her was Ye Fan. At this moment. In the VIP room at the front of the audience. The committee organizing the competition was all talking about the competition. ¡°This year¡¯s competition is so lively. It¡¯s filled with talents.¡± ¡°Chaohai City is a nurturing place. There are many excellent Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a first-year student in this competition. I heard that this person is very powerful!¡± At this moment, an old man with gray hair sitting in front suddenly turned around and asked, * ¡°First-year student? What¡¯s his name?¡± The people who were joking and discussing just now immediately became serious. ¡°Sir, this first-year student¡¯s name is Ye Fan.¡± Afterwards, someone carefully reported Ye Fan¡¯s achievements in the competition. The old man was the president of the committee, and one of the most famous Rank 9 powerhouses in the city, called Cai Shengyuan. He had only come to watch the competition today, and he did not see the competition yesterday. When he heard the story just now, his interest was piqued. As one of Chaohai City¡¯s higher-ups, he had naturally heard of Ye Fan. Ye Fan had single-handedly used a soul art to kill a seventh rank enemy, then destroyed the Abyssal Hand¡¯s stronghold. How could such a shocking genius not attract the attention of others? Although the destruction of the stronghold hadn¡¯t been announced, the higher-ups had already noticed Ye Fan. He hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to come and participate in the competition. This made him feel like laughing. The others didn¡¯t know how strong Ye Fan was, but he was very clear. Today, even if all the participants gathered together, they still wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat Ye Fan. When he heard the committee members discussing who would win the championship, Cai Shengyuan could only laugh in his heart. However¡­ He definitely wouldn¡¯t tell them directly. After regaining his senses, * Cai Shengyuan looked at the arena. Both academies began to send participants into the arena. Chapter 133 - 133 Losses and Wins 133 Losses and Wins Everyone was extremely excited and expectant. The first match was about to begin. The first girl to fight on behalf of the Dark Night Academy was called Dong Zhenzhen. The first person from the West Eagle Academy to fight was Duan Shaoming. Both sides tacitly left the strongest person in the team behind. Soon. The competition reached its climax. Compared to the previous match against Green Pine, * The competition between West Eagle Academy and Dark Night Academy was not as unexpected, but it was incomparably intense. Both teams participating in the competition were at Rank 5. Their strengths were relatively close, and no one had crushed the other party. However, if one defeated the other party in this round, one would be defeated in the next round because one had exhausted too much energy. There were wins and losses. The audience¡¯s blood was boiling as they watched with relish. Half an hour later. Zou Gen lost the match. Until now. Only Ye Fan was left on the West Eagle Academy¡¯s side. There were two people left in the Dark Night Academy, Han Xiaomin and Tang Nan. Tang Nan sat calmly in his seat and let Han Xiaomin go on stage first. When Ye Fan walked up, Han Xiaomin was still smiling. ¡°Junior, can we add each other as friends after the competition?¡± Ye Fan was both speechless and amused. ¡°Aren¡¯t you more interested in winning or losing the competition?¡± Han Xiaomin shrugged. ¡°I know I can¡¯t beat you, but we still have Tang Nan. She can beat you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re that confident?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a must. Exhausting you is my only mission now.¡± Han Xiaomin did not care about that at all. She went straight to the point. Ye Fan lightly laughed and didn¡¯t continue speaking, directly summoning Anissa. Before this, Anissa had already been summoned once. However, when she came out this time, everyone was still attracted by her graceful figure. The audience widened their eyes, especially the boys. They stared at Anissa. ¡°This pet is so beautiful.¡± ¡°Yes. Her figure is also very good.¡± ¡°This is too enviable.¡± ¡°If only I had such a beautiful pet.¡± After Han Xiaomin looked at Anissa, envy appeared in her eyes. So this was the reason why Ye Fan¡¯s gaze was so calm. He had seen too many beautiful women, so he did not find them enjoyable. She reacted. Han Xiaomin put away her distracting thoughts and attacked. Two of her five pets were at the fifth rank. In this league, her strength could enter the top 20. But compared to Ye Fan, she was still far inferior. Ye Fan only chose Anissa, not even summoning the Inferno Fire. She had killed three pets of the fourth rank with a single move. The other two Rank-5 pets were also seriously injured and were instantly killed by the blood spear. The battle was intense and clean. There was no sloppiness at all. Han Xiaomin¡¯s eyes twitched. Only when they really fought would they understand the difference in strength between them. To Han Xiaomin, who had always been ranked third in the academy, this blow was really not small. ¡°How did you train your pet? It¡¯s unbelievably strong.¡± She looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression, then walked down. ¡°Xiao Nan, you¡¯re our last hope.¡± Tang Nan nodded calmly and walked onto the stage in silence. The audience discussed animatedly. In the previous semifinals, there was no room for Tang Nan to play. She did not even have to make a move before her opponents were already dealt with by her teammates. Therefore, no one knew her true strength, but they were also very curious. They were curious about how strong this ace contestant, Tang Nan, was. Not long after. Everyone¡¯s curiosity was piqued. Tang Nan was born cold. After she walked onto the ring, she summoned her pets. A white light flashed. Five tall humanoid creatures appeared in front of her. These humanoid creatures were completely black and emitted a strange light. Their texture was like obsidian, black and glowing. Four of them wore armor. One held a sword and shield, one held a cannon, one rode a horse and held a spear, and the last sat on an ancient four-wheeled chariot. The one who wasn¡¯t wearing armor was wearing a long robe and holding a scepter. As soon as these five strange humanoid creatures went on stage, everyone¡¯s attention was on them. Everyone was confused. A very small number of experienced and knowledgeable audiences recognized the identities of these five creatures. ¡°Are they chess piece pets?¡± Someone shouted. Some people were shocked. There were indeed many types of pets. There was a type of pet called the Chess Trooper. There were seven types of such pets. Although the types were different, their power would be shared after they were contracted to the same Beast Tamer. To put it another way. Contracted Chess Piece Soldiers needed to evolve at the same time. None of them could be missing. This also caused the difficulty of evolution to increase. The more there were, the harder it was to evolve. However¡­ The advantages of this kind of chess piece pets were very strong. They could strengthen their own kind and their talent effects could be stacked. The more there were, the better the effect of strengthening each other. At the same time, they also had a joint attack skill. If they cooperated well, they could unleash twice the strength. Although this advantage sounded interesting, it was very difficult to nurture them. Some Beast Tamers would choose them. Such Beast Tamers might not be eye-catching in the early stages, but once they were nurtured, they would be much stronger than their peers. Tang Nan was like that. She had summoned a total of five. Pawn, Cannon, Horse, Chariot, and Prime Minister. All five of them were Rank 5. ¡°Chess piece pets?¡± Ye Fan was also very surprised. He was well aware of the pet¡¯s strengths. Although these five chess piece soldiers were only low-level Rank 5, as long as they joined forces, their strength would definitely far surpass Rank 5 and reach Rank 6. In terms of combat strength, they were invincible among their peers. Now Ye Fan knew why Han Xiaomin was so confident in her teammate, Tang Nan. ¡°You should have other pets, right? Summon them all!¡± Tang Nan spoke indifferently. Her voice was cold and her temperament was the same. Her tone was filled with confidence. ¡°If you still want to hide your strength in front of me, you will lose.¡± ¡°That might not be the case!¡± Ye Fan also calmly smiled and turned to look at the vampire girl. ¡°Anissa, start fighting!¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± The vampire girl put her index finger and middle finger together in her hand, and scratched her palm. A large amount of blood gushed out of the wound, and this blood quickly condensed into two extremely sharp swords. Hiss¡­ The aura of the blood sword instantly turned into lightning and attacked the two chess piece soldiers closest to her. Tang Nan frowned slightly. The chess piece soldiers sensed their master¡¯s emotions and immediately drew their swords to face the enemy. The war began. Chess soldiers were indeed famous for their combined attacks. The five of them cooperated very well. They were like veterans fighting on the battlefield. They were extremely proficient in battle. Everyone was amazed. However, what surprised everyone was Anissa. She held two swords and displayed her swordsmanship. At the same time, she released black magic. She used her blood to summon more than a hundred Rank 3 warriors. She had shown off her summoning skill. Demonic and martial abilities at the same time surprised everyone in the audience. In the previous battle, * Her opponents were too weak, so she did not use her full strength at all, nor did she have the chance to use these skills. It was only now that she displayed her strength. The chess piece soldiers also resisted, all of them extremely cautious. Seeing this, Tang Nan¡¯s expression changed. She was as calm as water just now, but now, she was a little flustered. Pang Ying and Han Xiaomin widened their eyes in disbelief. ¡°The viscount vampire is actually so powerful. It¡¯s a little heaven-defying.¡± ¡°Impossible! How can a viscount be so strong?¡± ¡°This must be the strength of an earl!¡± The participants of the Dark Night Academy looked surprised and flustered. They did not expect the beautiful vampire to be so powerful. Under the circumstances of being surrounded, she could still fight equally with the five chess piece soldiers. Furthermore, Ye Fan had a powerful fire-attributed Battle Pet. If he summoned his pet now, the situation would be reversed. Tang Nan would be at a disadvantage. It was hard to say who would win. The battle was still ongoing. The audience became more and more excited. This battle made everyone gasp in amazement. They did not even dare to blink, afraid that they would miss the details. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm, but he was a bit dissatisfied in his heart. Because chess piece soldiers had no blood and were covered in obsidian, many of Anissa¡¯s moves could not be used on them. Otherwise, she would have crushed them long ago. ¡°Then summon the second one.¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. A white light flashed. A small and agile figure appeared. ¡°Master!¡± She stood on the ground and flew towards Ye Fan. She quickly stood on Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder. After that. The Flower Sprite looked around and was shocked by her surroundings. ¡°Why are there so many people?¡± ¡°Where are we?¡± Tang Nan and the rest of the audience were also shocked. Their gazes were all attracted by Rose. Was she a pet too? Chapter 134 - 134 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (1) 134 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (1) ¡°It¡¯s a pet I¡¯ve never seen before¡­¡± Tang Nan frowned as she looked at Rose, her gaze filled with doubt. Ye Fan¡¯s actions had truly surprised her. She had thought that Ye Fan would definitely summon that fire-attributed Battle Pet, and she hadn¡¯t expected that he would summon an unfamiliar Battle Pet. The audience was also shocked. They didn¡¯t know this pet. After all, Flower Sprites were rare pets. Until now, they had not appeared many times. In recent years, there were only traces of Flower Sprites in some very unpopular ancient books. Therefore, no one could recognize it. Only Cai Shengyuan, who was in the VIP area, had a glint in his eyes when he saw Rose. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be a Flower Sprite.¡± ¡°What unbelievable luck. Where did this kid get it?¡± The committee members looked at each other, not knowing what was going on with this Flower Sprite. However, according to the president, the pet should be very rare and precious. At this moment, someone asked. ¡°President, tell us if you know.¡± Cai Shengyuan¡¯s eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth stretched. ¡°Flower Sprite, a support-type pet.¡± Everyone was stunned. Afterwards, he said, ¡°Ye Fan will definitely win.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the stage changed. Knowing from Ye Fan that they were in a competition and needed to defeat the five chess piece soldiers in front of them, Rose immediately understood and prepared to help. ¡°Blessings of Light!¡± Rose said loudly. She twirled her index finger in the air and pointed at Anissa. In an instant, a very beautiful and gorgeous rose appeared on the vampire¡¯s head. The flower quickly bloomed and transformed. Starlight sprinkled on Anissa¡¯s head. It was obvious. Anissa¡¯s combat strength rapidly increased. After that. Rose pointed at the five chess players on the other side. ¡°Misfortunes of Darkness!¡± The same roses as the one on Anissa¡¯s head appeared on the heads of the five chess piece soldiers, but they were black. They quickly scattered into black raindrops and dripped on the soldiers¡¯ bodies. After the chess piece soldiers touched the rain, it was as if there was a heavy chain on them. Their entire bodies became sluggish, and every movement was very slow. Then, Rose put her hands together in front of her chest and prepared to chant. Her voice was very pleasant to the ears. This song was called the Forest Song. Everyone could see that Anissa¡¯s wounds had quickly healed. Furthermore, her skin had turned pale from excessive use of blood. At this moment, it returned to normal. In an instant. Anissa was back to her prime. If this continued, Anissa would have the initiative to crush her opponents. The audience had no time to react at all. What was going on? However, it looked too magical. ¡°A support-type pet? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen one.¡± ¡°It weakens the opponents and increases the combat ability of her teammates. It also has healing effects. It must be a support-type pet.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s ever seen anything like this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. If we haven¡¯t seen it before, it must be a very rare pet.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me.¡± Discussions broke out, and the clamor of the audience grew louder. At this moment, Tang Nan had no time to listen to those nonsense. Her face was filled with shock. She had never expected Ye Fan to summon another Battle Pet, nor did she know that it was a support type. The battle immediately leaned towards Ye Fan¡¯s side. The participants of the Dark Night Academy were also speechless. ¡°Just who is this Ye Fan? He actually has three such powerful Battle Pets.¡± Han Xiaomin muttered to herself. No one paid attention to her. They were too shocked to react. But they had already guessed that Ye Fan might have other Battle Pets like the Inferno Fire and Anissa. And the current situation was just as they had guessed. Although Ye Fan¡¯s new pet wasn¡¯t a battle type, the current situation was still not optimistic. Rapidly weakening the other party, strengthening her teammates, and imposing a healing effect directly affected the outcome. They did not know if the chess piece soldiers could handle it. However, their strength had been weakened at this moment, and their levels had instantly decreased. Not only were their movements slow, but their coordination was not as tacit as before. In less than a minute. Almost all the chess piece soldiers were injured. Especially the chess piece soldier holding the shield. He was already seriously injured and his arm had been cut off. ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s new Battle Pet is so powerful!¡± Shen Yi¡¯s eyes were shining as she watched Ye Fan¡¯s performance on the stage. Previously, she had heard that Ye Fan had obtained a new support type Battle Pet, but she had never imagined that the support type pet would be so powerful. Especially the effect of strengthening and weakening, it could quickly increase the distance between the two parties, or even increase the distance by a major realm. Thereby reversing the situation. Shen Yi silently sighed in admiration. The closer she got to Ye Fan, the more she realized that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t ordinary at all. Basically, he could bring many surprises every time. Even Shen Yi, who was so close to him, was surprised by this, let alone others. Ding Chengxin and the others were also stunned. Their eyes widened as they stared at the stage. At this moment. The singing slowly stopped. Anissa was completely healed. Tang Nan had just exhaled when she saw Rose¡¯s hand emit a green light. The green light quickly surrounded the chess piece soldiers. Embrace of Vines! It was as if something was about to crawl out from under the chess piece soldiers¡¯ feet. Suddenly. A few vines crawled out and wrapped tightly around their legs. In an instant. Chapter 135 - 135 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (2) 135 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (2) It was as if they were wrapped up like dumplings. Anissa took advantage of this opportunity and quickly attacked. The blood sword formed two bolts of lightning and quickly cut a soldier¡¯s neck. The head fell to the ground. Soon, she changed her target. This time, it was the Horse. Sizzle¡­ His head also fell off, just like the previous one. At this moment. The remaining three immediately broke free. With their two companions dead, they were about to lose. Within a few minutes. Lightning flashed across necks, and the battle was over. Tang Nan¡¯s face was pale as she looked at the scene before him, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. After a few seconds of silence, * The audience erupted into applause, all of them congratulating Ye Fan on his victory. ¡°This is too powerful.¡± ¡°He actually defeated the chess piece soldiers!¡± ¡°The Dark Night Academy actually lost.¡± ¡°As expected of the West Eagle Academy! As expected of a first-year student.¡± ¡°Those fourth graders aren¡¯t that great. The key is still Ye Fan.¡± The audience¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment and reverence as they all stared at Ye Fan. Pang Ying, who had been holding his head high just now, was now dejected. The atmosphere was extremely heavy. On the other side. The West Eagle Academy could not help but celebrate. Zou Gen and the others all looked at Ye Fan, feeling as if he was glowing. ¡°Not bad, not bad at all.¡± ¡°You really dominated the arena today!¡± ¡°As expected of you.¡± The competitors¡¯ eyes were filled with envy, but they knew they couldn¡¯t get it. They could be considered the elites of the fourth grade, surrounded by all sorts of flowers and applause. But at this moment, they were envious of Ye Fan, a first grader. Seeing how powerful Ye Fan was, from the beginning until now, it was as if he had a cheat. They felt no different from ordinary people. There was always someone better. Ding Chengxin was the most excited one among them. He was grinning from ear to ear. If they won this competition, it meant that they were already firmly in the second place. Therefore, he could also look forward to winning the championship. The current results had greatly exceeded the previous results. Even if it was stuck here, it was still a good result. Ding Chengxin was already imagining how the school would react when he returned. However, he still hoped that it would be even better if he could win the championship. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Ye Fan walked off the stage. It was not until they returned to the lounge that the audience calmed down a little. ¡°Next is the Red Fire Academy.¡± Shen Yi pointed at the situation on the screen. The screen was broadcasting the next match on the arena. The Red Fire Academy versus the Changsu Academy. The two Rank-5 participants had already started fighting. In the previous battle, the Red Fire Academy had crushed the other party with their strength and won. Moreover, only two people had stepped out and defeated the five opponents. They were indeed strong. Therefore, this time, everyone reckoned that just like before, the Red Fire Academy would definitely win. Therefore, the only suspense was how they would win. The final outcome was just as everyone thought. There were only three participants from the Red Fire Academy, but all the participants from the Changsu Academy had already suffered a crushing defeat. The Red Fire Academy was also promoted. Until now. The finals would be a competition between Red Fire Academy and West Eagle Academy. Between the previous champion and the dark horse that suddenly appeared this year, who would win? The competition had yet to begin, and everyone was even excited. Everyone was looking forward to the competition tomorrow. They could not wait to see what kind of intense battle these two academies would have. In the middle of the square. In the lounge. After the competition ended, the participants of the Red Fire Academy were carefully reading the message sent by the instructor. They were all the personal information of the West Eagle Academy participants. Ye Fan¡¯s information was exceptionally abundant. It was all information they had obtained from an emergency search. They had printed out several sheets of paper. The contestants all came over and looked at the information on the paper, discussing. But not long after. The topic was completely off track. ¡°The first graders are indeed young.¡± ¡°And he¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°He¡¯s my type!¡± ¡°He¡¯s only a first-year student. Aren¡¯t you shameless!¡± ¡°I¡¯m at most three years older than him. What¡¯s wrong with being three years older?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Seeing them look at Ye Fan like starving wolves, * A slightly plump young man was speechless. ¡°This Ye Fan is our opponent. Don¡¯t get too involved!¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Can you take care of our school¡¯s image?¡± The other boys were also jealous. The girls didn¡¯t listen to this at all. Using the school as an excuse at this time was actually because they were jealous of his good looks. Hu Yishan, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly spoke. ¡°This first-year student is very powerful. His combat strength cannot be underestimated. Everyone, take him seriously.¡± ¡°To be able to defeat five opponents of the Green Pine Academy, don¡¯t underestimate him!¡± ¡°But Teacher, on their side, only Ye Fan is a bit strong. The others don¡¯t have any strength at all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Other than Ye Fan, the others aren¡¯t even worth mentioning.¡± ¡°Could it be that Ye Fan can also defeat five of us?¡± It was unknown who said this, but everyone present burst into laughter. Everyone knew that the previous champion was the Red Fire Academy. Their academy had always been the champion of the competition. Whether it was strength or experience, they were existences that could not be easily shaken. Chapter 136 - 136 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (3) 136 A Support-Type Battle Pet Nobody Has Ever Seen (3) In their eyes, Green Pine Academy was actually not worth mentioning. Therefore¡­ It was impossible for Ye Fan to defeat five opponents. The teacher also found it funny and shook his head. He didn¡¯t think that the students he taught couldn¡¯t defeat a first-year student. However, their tone was too complacent. There were still consequences if they underestimated their opponents. That was why he had kindly reminded them. However, the participants were all very confident. He wanted to say something but hesitated, so he didn¡¯t say anything else. They had confidence in the competition, so he shouldn¡¯t scold them. After all, there was indeed a high chance of winning. ¡°Qin Hao is here. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We also have a trump card on our side. Moreover, he hasn¡¯t gone on stage yet. The other party doesn¡¯t know his strength. When the time comes, they will definitely be caught off guard.¡± Everyone agreed with the chubby boy¡¯s words. Qin Hao, who was mentioned, also smiled indifferently. After discussing for a while, * The chubby boy suddenly asked, * ¡°Do you want to arrange the order of fighting tomorrow?¡± The teacher thought for a while and said, ¡°Qin Hao can be the first!¡± Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the other party. Then, he seemed to understand his teacher¡¯s intentions. The teacher wanted him to defeat five opponents too. ¡°That¡¯s right. Ever since West Eagle Academy defeated five opponents with one student, their reputation has been too great. It¡¯s as if they¡¯ve won for sure.¡± ¡°We should let them know that it¡¯s just one against five. This is too easy! Qin Hao can do it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re so famous after the one-against-five fight. Even if we¡¯re the final champion, I¡¯m afraid their popularity will be higher than ours.¡± Everyone nodded and felt that it made sense. The atmosphere was lively. It was as if they were already the champions. Hu Yishan glanced at Qin Hao. Qin Hao also nodded. He had nothing to be dissatisfied with. It was fine to arrange it like this. ¡°Whatever.¡± ¡°Alright! It¡¯s settled then. Everyone, go back and rest. Rest well and prepare for tomorrow¡¯s competition!¡± ¡­ At this moment. In the lounge on the other side. The participants of West Eagle Academy were also having a lively discussion. ¡°In the finals tomorrow, our opponent is the previous year¡¯s champion, the Red Fire Academy¡¯s team.¡± Ding Chengxin did the same and sent the information he had gathered to the participants. In such a short period of time, he had collected more information. In addition to what he had prepared beforehand, there were a total of several pages. However, there was a lot of personal information, but very little combat-related information. In short, this information was not very useful. This was because up until now, only three people from the Red Fire Academy had really fought. The strength of the other two was still unknown. However, it was not difficult to see that the two who did not go on stage must be their greatest trump cards. They didn¡¯t attack easily, so there was a lot of mystery. The smiles on everyone¡¯s faces disappeared. They understood very well that the opponent they faced was definitely not weaker than them. Moreover, the Red Fire Academy was the academy that had won the most championships in the past. As long as they took action, the championship was basically guaranteed. It could be said to be a very powerful opponent. Everyone became nervous. Although they all knew that Ye Fan was here, they couldn¡¯t just rely on one person in the team competition. ¡°The participants from the Red Fire Academy are all at the fifth rank. Their biggest trump card is called Qin Hao. We have to take this person seriously.¡± Ding Chengxin had a very serious expression. The Qin family was considered an aristocratic family since ancient times. Their status was second only to the Luo family. Luo Qiliang was only from a branch of his family, but this Qin Hao was a direct descendant of the main family and had hopes of inheriting it in the future. If everything went smoothly, * He would be the next head of the Qin family. ¡°He was already the champion when he was in the third year, and he was already at the fifth level at that time.¡± Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Third grade meant that he had already advanced to Rank 5 a year ago. How powerful was he now? Being able to break through to Rank 4 in the third year was enough to prove that he was very talented. But that was not counting Ye Fan. He was an exception. No student here had ever advanced to Rank 5 and become the champion in the first year. Just from this point alone, it seemed that Ye Fan¡¯s aptitude was truly unparalleled. Even Qin Hao was left behind by Ye Fan. However, what was being tested was not talent, but individual strength. Compared to Ye Fan, Qin Hao had cultivated three years more. In these three years, there was a huge difference in strength. If the team¡¯s strongest Ye Fan lost to Qin Hao in the competition, then no one else would be able to defeat him. Everyone thought of this. Their mood was much heavier, and they were frustrated and worried. Ye Fan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all. He was still so calm and natural, as if he wasn¡¯t the one about to go and fight. ¡°What are you talking about? Isn¡¯t it just Qin Hao? Ye Fan can definitely beat him.¡± Chen Xin said. Su Wan¡¯er was also full of confidence in Ye Fan. She believed that he could win the match in one fell swoop. Ding Chengxin also felt that it was time to encourage each other. ¡°We¡¯ve already defeated the Green Pine Academy and the Dark Night Academy. In the end, there¡¯s only the Red Fire Academy left. Can¡¯t we defeat them? We haven¡¯t even fought yet!¡± ¡°Our strength is not bad. I believe that tomorrow, we will definitely show our advantage and defeat our opponents.¡± When they heard this, they perked up. Shen Yi looked at Ye Fan. Although Ye Fan was very calm, she wasn¡¯t calm at all. Her eyes flashed. She hoped that this time Ye Fan would be like before, working a miracle. ¡­ The next morning. Today was the finals, but it wasn¡¯t time yet. There was still at least an hour before the competition. The central square was already filled with people. The audience sat and chatted about how today¡¯s competition would go. Who would lose? Who would win? West Eagle Academy versus Red Fire Academy. This was undoubtedly a very exciting competition. Everyone was extremely excited. ¡°When a genius meets the champion, who will win?¡± ¡°Today¡¯s match was really worth it. It will definitely be very explosive later.¡± ¡°I got up early to grab a seat. I only got a middle row seat. Does everyone have such high expectations for the competition?¡± ¡°This is too slow. Time passes too slowly. I wish they could start right away.¡± They waited for almost half an hour. The participants from both sides appeared one after another and walked to their resting areas. At this moment. The audience could see the contestants and were very enthusiastic. They waved their hands. Ye Fan found a seat by the side and sat down. He looked around and saw Zou Gen and the others were shocked, as if they had seen something. Ye Fan also raised his head to look in their direction. A handsome and sunny young man walked over. ¡°Qin Hao¡­ Why are you here?¡± Ding Chengxin was a little puzzled. The others even gathered their gazes over in unison. Why did the people from the Red Fire Academy come to the resting area of the West Eagle Academy? Could it be that they were here to chat? The audience was puzzled. Qin Hao walked in front of Ye Fan and stared at him, not putting anyone else in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m the first to fight in our academy. What about you guys? Why don¡¯t you be first too? Let¡¯s fight!¡± Ye Fan indifferently glanced at him, his tone extremely calm. ¡°Our order of appearance is determined by the teacher.¡± Qin Hao paused for a moment and glanced at the participants beside him with disappointment. He sounded regretful. ¡°I can¡¯t wait any longer. You¡¯re the only one here who can fight me. I originally wanted to deal with the rest after defeating you.¡± His condescending tone and attitude made everyone furious. However, Qin Hao did not notice the dissatisfaction of the people around him. ¡°What do you think?¡± Ye Fan thought for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He raised his eyes to look at Qin Hao. ¡°Sure. If you want to fight me so badly, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish.¡± Chapter 137 - 137 I’m Not the Trump Card This Time 137 I¡¯m Not the Trump Card This Time Ye Fan had just finished speaking. The other party was slightly stunned. He did not expect him to agree so easily. Ye Fan had rejected him just now. ¡°I hope our game won¡¯t be too boring.¡± !! After saying that, he turned around and left. ¡°This guy! He¡¯s too infuriating. Did he come to provoke us just now?!¡± Su Wan¡¯er was furious. That guy did not even look at them. In the finals, the people from the Rose Society couldn¡¯t sit still in the audience and ran to the rest area to sit with Ye Fan. Chen Xin was also very angry. Just now, Qin Hao was too arrogant. ¡°You should beat the crap out of him!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ye Fan calmly replied. He stood up and slowly walked towards the arena. The first one was Ye Fan. The audience cheered, their cheers filled with anticipation. ¡°Ye Fan is actually the first to go up!¡± ¡°He¡¯s not hidden as a trump card this time?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, the first person sent out by the Red Fire Academy is Qin Hao.¡± ¡°Best against best! The first round is a battle between two aces.¡± Everyone was extremely excited. They widened their eyes and looked at the two people on the arena without blinking. After the two of them stood still in the arena, * No one said anything. Qin Hao stared at the other party. There was a very strong gunpowder aura. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes were calm, but his heart wasn¡¯t shaken at all. After the beginning of the competition was announced, * Qin Hao was the first to summon five ferocious pets. Three of them were high-level at the fifth rank and two were at the peak of the fifth rank. The five Battle Pets surrounded Ye Fan, as if they could instantly submerge him. Although there was a distance between them, the aura they exuded was very strong. ¡°Wow, five Rank-5 pets!¡± ¡°They¡¯re at least high-level, and there are two peak experts!¡± ¡°Qin Hao is also a genius. He advanced to Rank 5 in the third year. After more than a year, it¡¯s normal for him to have such results.¡± ¡°But if he¡¯s so strong, what about the other party?¡± Tang Nan also had five Rank-5 pets, and they were all low-level. Qin Hao¡¯s pets were all at the high and peak levels. Among them, the Golden Lion and the Tyrannosaurus were both rare pets with high combat strength. They could imagine that the five pets must have been carefully nurtured and had a lot of talents and skills. Compared to their peers, the pets were much more powerful. Moreover, he was from an aristocratic family. The family probably had high hopes for him and invested a lot of resources in him! Below the arena. Ding Chengxin and the other participants looked solemn. The surrounding atmosphere was also extremely gloomy. After summoning his Battle Pets, Qin Hao looked expectantly at Ye Fan. ¡°Your turn.¡± The shock on other people¡¯s faces couldn¡¯t even be seen on Ye Fan¡¯s face. He was still as calm as ever. With a wave of his hand, white light flashed. Three pets appeared in front of him. ¡°Master, is it time for the competition again?¡± Rose flew to Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder and sat down before asking. ¡°Yeah.¡± Ye Fan lightly smiled and gently rubbed Rose¡¯s head, cheering her on. ¡°Good luck. Fight well. If you win, I¡¯ll buy you delicious food.¡± Rose¡¯s eyes lit up. She was very happy. ¡°Alright! I promise to complete the mission!¡± The communication between Ye Fan and his Battle Pet was extremely carefree, causing Qin Hao to feel extremely displeased. He hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to ignore him. The man had actually talked to his Battle Pet during the competition, chatting and laughing. ¡°Kill him!¡± he ordered. The five pets attacked at the same time. Anissa and the Inferno Knight also moved out to face the other party. Rose began to support them. It was still the same as before. She would increase the strength of her team and weaken the other party¡¯s team. She also sang carols in time to heal her teammates. The two sides fought. The scene was very intense. Anissa took on three enemies at once. One of them was a hydra, one was a poisonous spider, and the last was a tyrannosaurus. Black magic hit the three pets one after another. Suddenly. The hydra was injured and roared in pain. The blood that flowed out at this moment was used by Anissa to summon countless blood soldiers on the spot. On the Inferno Knight¡¯s side, it was fighting against the Bloodthirsty Bull and the Golden Lion. It fought well, not letting the other party gain any advantage. The situation was in a deadlock. No one was at a disadvantage. Looking at the scene in front of him, * Qin Hao was extremely shocked in his heart, and his pupils couldn¡¯t help but dilate. The audience was the same, including the participants of the Red Fire Academy. Qin Hao¡¯s five pets were much stronger than their peers. The combined strength of five of them was enough to fight against two sixth rank battle pets. However, they were actually on par with Ye Fan¡¯s battle pets. He only felt that this first-year student in front of him was a true genius. ¡°Ye Fan probably didn¡¯t display his true strength in the match against Tang Nan.¡± Hu Yishan suddenly thought of this. In an instant. The competitors of the Red Fire Academy had lost their sense of superiority when talking about Green Pine Academy. Their faces were filled with shock and suspicion. Could it be that the situation was about to be reversed? Even the audience was amazed. They hadn¡¯t expected Ye Fan to be so powerful. It was far beyond their imagination. ¡°Three against five and they still tied!¡± ¡°Good lord, so Ye Fan was hiding his strength in all his previous battles.¡± ¡°No wonder he looks so relaxed. It turns out that he¡¯s really not tired from fighting. I thought he had already used all his strength.¡± ¡°I think that support-type pet plays a big role.¡± ¡°The other two aren¡¯t bad either, being able to resist Qin Hao¡¯s Tyrannosaurus and Golden Lion.¡± ¡°I¡¯m starting to wonder just how strong Ye Fan is.¡± Everyone was discussing the strength of both sides. When they had first seen Qin Hao¡¯s Battle Pets, everyone had thought that Ye Fan was finished. But from the looks of it, * Ye Fan had only just begun. Everyone suddenly understood that Ye Fan hadn¡¯t used his full strength from the very beginning. So before this, they had never seen Ye Fan in full strength. Wait. It should be said that the opponents Ye Fan had met before weren¡¯t enough for him to use his true strength. He did not deliberately hide it. Before the finals, there were still people who felt that Ye Fan had relied on luck to win against so many people. They felt that Ye Fan had only won because his teammates had exhausted Luo Qiliang. But now, everyone no longer doubted Ye Fan¡¯s strength. The scene in the arena was already very clear. No one in Green Pine Academy could fight against Qin Hao¡¯s group of fifth-rank pets. But Ye Fan was able to tie with Qin Hao. Therefore¡­ Before this, the 1v5 victory was nothing. The surrounding discussions were incomparably noisy. After hearing this, Qin Hao¡¯s expression did not look too good. Originally, Ye Fan hadn¡¯t planned on being the first to fight. It was him who had said those provocative words. Furthermore, he had declared that he would defeat Ye Fan before taking care of the others. However, from the looks of it, these words were a slap in the face. ¡°I admit that I¡¯ve underestimated you. You do have some ability.¡± Qin Hao calmed down and decided to deal with him seriously. Looking at Ye Fan now, he didn¡¯t have the disdain he had at the start. He only knew that Ye Fan was an extremely powerful opponent, and he had to take him seriously. He no longer underestimated the other party and began to summon again. In an instant. A huge pet appeared in front of him. The arena instantly emitted a cold aura that gradually spread out. The lively scene at the beginning had now turned cold. The audience was greatly shocked. ¡°There¡¯s actually a sixth one?¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°Goodness!¡± ¡°This can¡¯t be real, right?¡± ¡°He has already advanced to Rank 6?¡± Everyone had the same thought. They were all wondering if Qin Hao had already advanced to the sixth rank. ¡°At first, I wanted to reserve this move for the Dark Night Academy. Now that I¡¯m using it on you, I think it¡¯s not bad.¡± Qin Hao¡¯s confident tone was still condescending. He finished speaking. Only then did the huge pet reveal its true appearance. It was a giant snake that was so black that it was glowing. The giant snake spat out its tongue, staring at Ye Fan. At this moment. The scene was silent as everyone focused their attention on the snake. This was a Netherworld Python. A sixth-rank pet! This Netherworld Python was very thick and its body was five meters in diameter. Moreover, it was more than a hundred meters long. This huge creature was on the arena. It looked very terrifying. At this moment, Ding Chengxin¡¯s face had already turned pale. He had never expected Qin Hao to have broken through to the sixth rank. The man even got a sixth-rank Netherworld Python. Such strength was considered top-notch even in Rank 6. Furthermore, he was currently fighting against the fifth-rank Ye Fan. ¡°The situation¡­ has reversed again.¡± The expressions of the participants from the West Eagle Academy changed drastically. On the other side. The participants of the Red Fire Academy were all happy. It looked like victory was in their grasp. ¡°Qin Hao¡¯s Netherworld Python has appeared!¡± ¡°This is a sixth-rank intermediate pet, so it can certainly beat a mere fifth-rank guy like Ye Fan!¡± ¡°Now, the championship is ours.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid Ye Fan won¡¯t be easy to deal with it!¡± Everyone began to make sarcastic remarks, some of them gloating at Ye Fan¡¯s misfortune. But Ye Fan didn¡¯t panic at all. Facing such a colossus, he only faintly smiled. ¡°A sixth-rank pet? Isn¡¯t that a coincidence? I happen to have one too.¡± As soon as he said that¡­ Light flashed. There was another Battle Pet in front of Ye Fan. Chapter 138 - 138 Two Rank-6 Pets 138 Two Rank-6 Pets Ye Fan¡¯s words were extremely indifferent. However, this was equivalent to throwing a bomb into the crowd and detonating it instantly. Qin Hao¡¯s smile froze on his face. A second ago, he was still laughing confidently, feeling that the championship was his. The next second, he was just as astonished. !! No one would have thought that Ye Fan would actually have a sixth-rank Battle Pet. ¡°How could Ye Fan have a sixth-rank Battle Pet?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s only a first-year student! Where did he get a sixth-rank pet¡­¡± ¡°This has completely overturned my understanding of the world.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe him.¡± ¡°You have to believe it even if you don¡¯t want to. He has already summoned it.¡± There were exclamations, surprise, and doubts below the stage. The fact that Ye Fan had already reached the fifth rank in the first year was already shocking enough, and now they had heard that Ye Fan had a sixth-rank Battle Pet. Everyone felt that this was too impossible. They even widened their eyes and looked at Ye Fan, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears. The battle pet around Ye Fan gradually became clearer. Cang Gu appeared in front of him. Although it had evolved, there was no change in its appearance. There was only a very faint layer of black fog on the surface. The surface of the clear lines was shrouded in a strange fog. The color was rather faint, making it difficult to see clearly. At this moment, there was silence. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened when they saw that Ye Fan had summoned a skeleton. They were so shocked that they were speechless. It was just a skeleton. This skeleton¡¯s appearance was ordinary, but it was at Rank-6? Everyone looked around and could not understand. This skeleton was too ordinary. No one would believe that it was a Rank 5. Could it defeat the Netherworld Python? From the looks of it, it probably couldn¡¯t even defeat a Rank 5. Everyone felt that Ye Fan was just putting on a front and lying that this was a Rank 6 pet. Moreover, he was using a skeleton to attack the Netherworld Python. Wasn¡¯t this hitting a rock with an egg? Could it be that Ye Fan was planning on putting up a final struggle? The other competitors were also very confused, not knowing what Ye Fan was planning to do. However, they remembered that they had fought this skeleton pet before. As a result, they understood that Ye Fan¡¯s skeleton was different from the others. It had its own unique points, but no matter how they looked at it, using a skeleton to fight a giant python wasn¡¯t a wise move. Could it be that Ye Fan wanted to struggle a bit? To admit defeat after beating his opponent in terms of aura? No one present knew what Ye Fan was thinking. Originally, when Ye Fan said that he also had a sixth-rank Battle Pet, Qin Hao had been sweating. Now that he saw that his opponent¡¯s sixth-rank Battle Pet was actually just a skeleton, his expression instantly became more colorful. Could this thing be Rank 6? How ridiculous. ¡°Ye Fan, did you make a mistake? Why don¡¯t you summon something else?¡± Qin Hao¡¯s gaze was complicated. He wasn¡¯t really thinking for Ye Fan¡¯s sake. He just felt that this skeleton would fall apart at the slightest touch, so there was no need to fight. Then his purpose of summoning the Netherworld Python would be ruined. There was no need for the two of them to fight at all. Ye Fan was still so calm. Cang Gu immediately began to release the devil aura. After receiving Ye Fan¡¯s order, the ghost flame in his eyes flickered, and his entire body began to emit black devil aura. His body also began to emit black demonic air that became denser and denser. Not long after, the demonic air surrounded him. The surroundings were filled with black energy, and only the skeleton was vaguely visible, surrounded by the black energy. At this moment. A powerful aura spread below the stage. Everyone fell silent again, their mouths agape, wondering what had happened. The Netherworld Python, which had been domineering and mighty just now, suddenly narrowed its eyes and felt the powerful aura of the thing in front of it. The lazy look it had just now immediately became cautious. It raised its head and looked at the other party. When in danger, snakes would instinctively do this. At this moment. Qin Hao¡¯s expression changed drastically as well. The doubts from before could be considered to have been explained now. It seemed that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t joking. It was just that they were blind and couldn¡¯t see just how powerful this thing in front of them was. The audience quickly discovered it. Could this skeleton really be Rank 6? They couldn¡¯t see the pet¡¯s level, but they could feel the horrifying and gloomy aura. However, it could be seen now that this ordinary skeleton was really not compatible with the aura, and it was definitely powerful to a certain extent. Some of the more experienced Beast Tamers realized what was going on and gasped. They all praised him. ¡°This skeleton is definitely at Rank 6!¡± Someone said this with certainty. It was quiet down below. Then, the discussions became heated. Originally, the school league was just a competition between students. The participating students would not have the ability to be too outstanding, so powerful that others could not reach them. They were usually at the same level. There was a lower limit and an upper limit. However, after holding so many league tournaments, * It was rare to see a sixth-ranked Beast Tamer among the participants. It was very surprising that one would appear. This was because in the end, the winner would usually be that Rank-6 participant. When Qin Hao showed his sixth-rank pet, the audience was already shocked, thinking that he must be the champion. But no one would have thought that Ye Fan would also summon a sixth-rank pet. At this moment. The audience was discussing passionately, and there was no fight on the stage. In the VIP area. The various committee members also revealed surprised expressions. Who would have thought that two Rank 6 experts would appear at once? Just one was already enough to surprise them. Cai Shengyuan was also incomparably amazed. His gaze had always been on Ye Fan, and he was extremely excited. Qin Hao was already in the fourth grade, so to ordinary people, breaking through to the sixth grade was at most a surprise. Ye Fan was only a first-year student and didn¡¯t have any family background. It wasn¡¯t like his family had produced a Beast Tamer in every generation. He, who was ordinary, actually had such high talent. Cai Shengyuan praised, ¡°This young man¡¯s future is limitless!¡± The committee members were very shocked. They had never seen Cai Shengyuan cherish a student so much. From Ye Fan¡¯s performance over and over, they had great expectations for this junior. They couldn¡¯t wait to watch the competition. After hearing all kinds of discussions, * Qin Hao was also a bit impatient. He knew that Ye Fan was also at the sixth rank, and that skeleton was unfathomably strong. Now he had no patience at all. Not only had Ye Fan stolen all the limelight, but the situation had also become uncontrollable. ¡°We haven¡¯t fought yet. The outcome is still uncertain.¡± ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s sixth-rank Battle Pet is only a skeleton. Even if this kind of Battle Pet has already reached the sixth rank, its strength isn¡¯t that great.¡± ¡°My Netherworld Python can be considered one of the peak sixth-rank pets. Even if it fights a peak sixth-rank creature, it can still fight to a draw. So dealing with Ye Fan¡¯s skeleton shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± With this thought in mind, he instantly regained his confidence. ¡°As long as I focus on defeating that skeleton, everything else will be easy. The victory will still belong to me.¡± In an instant, he had too many thoughts. However, he had already decided on his plan. A victorious smile appeared on his face. After the Netherworld Python received the order, it let out a long roar into the sky and then charged at Ye Fan like a bolt of lightning. The Netherworld Python¡¯s huge and thick body had also increased its combat strength by a lot. It opened its bloody mouth and prepared to swallow the skeleton. At this moment. The skeleton moved and instantly disappeared in front of them. When it appeared again, it was already in front of the Netherworld Python. What! This was teleportation! The shadow of a skeleton appeared in the pupils of the Netherworld Python. The skeleton gathered all the devil aura at one point. The sharpened knife in its hand gathered all the devil aura and began to vaguely show green flames. It was a soul fire! Sizzle¡­ The Netherworld Python instantly sensed a terrifying and suffocating feeling. Its body trembled. Under the cover of this fear, its body began to go crazy uncontrollably. It opened its mouth again and sprayed out poisonous liquid. This liquid was highly toxic and extremely corrosive. Even the air emitted a corrosive sound. The direction of the skeleton¡¯s teleportation was unpredictable. After dodging the venom easily, it made a turn and appeared behind the Netherworld Python. The next second, it raised its saber and slashed at the Netherworld Python. The sharp saber fell. Blood splattered. At this moment, the Netherworld Python was heavily injured. A wound appeared on its body and blood kept flowing out. The saber in the skeleton¡¯s hand directly broke through the python¡¯s scales. It was extremely sharp. The Netherworld Python lived in the netherworld. The environment was very harsh, so its scales were incomparably hard, second only to dragon scales. Not to mention ordinary sabers, even divine weapons and sharp swords would find it difficult to hurt it. But now¡­ Its scales were cut apart like paper. A wound that was more than ten meters long appeared. The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen. At this moment, Qin Hao was dumbfounded. His brain and eyes had yet to react. The skeleton¡¯s speed and teleportation ability had already shocked him. After seeing the Netherworld Python seriously injured by the skeleton¡¯s saber, he was already stunned. Because of the ten-meter-long wound on its body, the Netherworld Python was still bleeding non-stop, making it howl in pain. Qin Hao was stunned and couldn¡¯t react. He kept feeling that what he saw wasn¡¯t real. Chapter 139 - 139 Winning the Competition 139 Winning the Competition ¡°So strong!¡± Su Wan¡¯er exclaimed! The people from the Rose Society and the audience were dumbfounded, including Qin Hao. The skeleton was indeed very strong in that aspect, but no one had expected it to be so powerful. Whether it was speed or strength, it could cause tempestuous waves of demonic energy, making people feel fear. !! ¡°Two months ago, Ye Fan¡¯s pet was clearly only at Rank 5.¡± Xu Menghan and Xiao Yuezhu looked at each other in shock. Ye Fan, who had only been a Rank 5 Beast Tamer for four months, had broken through to Rank 6 in such a short period of time. Not only was his strength astonishing, but his speed was also astonishing. Shen Yi was even more shocked, her starry eyes looking at Ye Fan on the stage. Hu Yishan from the Red Fire Academy was also shocked. Everybody¡¯s eyes were about to fall out as they watched this scene in disbelief. Originally, after Qin Hao¡¯s Netherworld Python was summoned, everyone thought that he was going to win this round. However, they did not expect Ye Fan to summon a Rank 6 pet. Moreover, this seemingly ordinary pet had seriously injured the Netherworld Python with one slash. If they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have believed the authenticity of this matter. In the audience outside the arena, everyone was very quiet. Such an unexpected turn of events made everyone feel happy and terrifying. There was a loud bang. Only then did everyone react. The competition continued in the arena. No one stopped. The intense pain stimulated the Netherworld Python, causing it to suddenly become ferocious. It roared and charged at the skeleton. The two sides immediately fought. The battle in the arena was very intense, raising dust, light waves, and the storm that swept over. The other pets retreated consciously, feeling that there was no need to participate. The others were also sweating, afraid that they would be implicated. They were also afraid that they would not be able to see the competition on the stage clearly. One side used the venom, and the other side used the bone knife. Both sides fought equally. The Netherworld Python¡¯s venom could severely injure people, and the demonic aura emitted by the skeleton could also corrode people¡¯s hearts. The battle was still intense. The two auras intertwined and canceled each other out after the intense collision. However, those with rich combat experience could tell that the black fog had the upper hand and suppressed the gray fog. It was obvious. The demonic aura was stronger. In addition to this, the skeleton had also awakened strange power, which made it much faster and stronger. With Instant Transmission or lightning attacks, even if the other party¡¯s body was huge, its reaction was very slow. This was very beneficial to the skeleton. The venom was only at the beginner level, so it was useless in front of the skeleton. Every time, it was very difficult to corrode the other party and injure it, but in the blink of an eye, the venom was absorbed by the skeleton¡¯s Vitality Absorption. On the skeleton¡¯s side, as it attacked with flames, every attack would deal terrifying damage. This double damage on the body and the soul made the Netherworld Python roar endlessly. Its initial hostility and aura were completely drowned out now. The audience fell silent. The square was filled with the painful howls of the Netherworld Python. The surrounding people were already stunned. The audience never expected this to happen. Such a powerful Netherworld Python was no match for that skeleton even if it used all its strength. Such a huge Netherworld Python was suppressed by a very thin and ordinary skeleton. Moreover, the Netherworld Python was in a very sorry state. It made people find it hard to believe. At this moment, Qin Hao¡¯s eyes were already dull. He stood there for a long time, unable to speak until he cried out in pain. Everyone looked over. At this moment, the battle was basically over. The skeleton, which had always had the upper hand, was becoming stronger and stronger. The demonic aura it emitted was even wider. It jumped up and opened its mouth in midair, then let out a deafening roar. The sound wave that followed hit the Netherworld Python like a tsunami. The Netherworld Python instantly felt as if its soul was suppressed, and its movements stopped. At this moment. The skeleton slashed down with its saber. Mixed with demonic energy, it formed a black fog in the air. What followed was the Netherworld Python falling to the ground and not getting up. It howled in pain and blood flowed all over the ground. Terror appeared in the python¡¯s eyes. However, it could not move. It could only watch as the skeleton walked towards him with endless demonic energy. Then, the skeleton slashed at the Netherworld Python¡¯s head. The Netherworld Python¡¯s scales were all cut off, and blood gushed out. Despite its powerful strength, it was suppressed and finally fell heavily to the ground. With a deafening sound, the ground seemed to be about to explode. With this huge sound, the ground indeed cracked, and the cracks spread out like a spider web. The audience was shocked. There were also people who stood up to look, afraid that they would miss it. Under countless shocked gazes, the dust on the stage slowly dissipated, and the scene was reflected in everyone¡¯s eyes. The Netherworld Python quietly on the ground. There was a huge pit on the ground, and its head was in it, bleeding profusely. The Netherworld Python¡¯s body twitched, and there was no other reaction. It could no longer fight. The surroundings were silent. There was no sound around. No one dared to speak. Everyone looked at the Netherworld Python in disappointment. They hesitated, not knowing what to say. After a long time. Qin Hao¡¯s face was filled with despair. His mind was buzzing, and he felt like his mind was blank. He didn¡¯t think of anything, but it was very noisy. At this moment. The competition was almost over. The Netherworld Python died, and the skeleton won. Moreover, it won unscathed. The skeleton turned around and slashed at the Rank 5 pet on the stage. Then, the Rank 5 bull monster was slashed into two. Then, it used the Gust Slash to suck in the other poisonous spiders and hydras. After the wind stopped. The two pets were left with nothing. At this moment. The skeleton¡¯s combat strength was completely displayed in front of everyone. It was ridiculously strong. The Golden Lion and the Tyrannosaurus couldn¡¯t last more than half a minute before they both died. The competition was over. The outcome was out. The audience was at a loss. Hu Yishan and the other participants were dumbfounded and had yet to react. Not long ago. They were still fantasizing that Qin Hao would defeat all the candidates of West Eagle Academy. This way, the Red Fire Academy would become the biggest highlight of the competition. However, reality didn¡¯t go as planned, pulling them all back. It was impossible to defeat five, and it was impossible to defeat one. He lost to Ye Fan in such a sorry state. Now. The participants seemed to understand that they could not defeat the other party anyway. After all, even Qin Hao could not defeat Ye Fan, let alone them. Even if they still had the courage to stand on the stage at this time, it was just for Ye Fan to practice. Thinking of this, the teachers and students of the Red Fire Academy were very discouraged. Disappointment was written all over his face. ¡°Qin Hao, come down.¡± Hu Yishan said. Only then did Qin Hao react, he immediately looked at Ye Fan. However, Ye Fan seemed to be talking to those pets. He even patted the Flower Sprite¡¯s head on his shoulder, as if he was praising it. Ye Fan¡¯s gaze was gentle, his expression was calm, and it felt that winning was nothing for him. Seeing this, Qin Hao felt bitter and upset. In his eyes, Ye Fan was an extremely powerful opponent. But in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes, he was just an ordinary opponent. Ye Fan had always had this attitude towards the competition, from the beginning until now. Qin Hao sighed silently and walked down. Only now did the audience react. Instantly, there was a commotion. ¡°He won!¡± ¡°The difference in strength is not small!¡± ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s pets are all so powerful!¡± ¡°From today onwards, Ye Fan is my idol!¡± ¡°This Rank 6 Beast Tamer is only a first-year student, and his pet is unbelievably strong. He really doesn¡¯t leave a way out for mediocre people like us.¡± ¡°I¡¯m envious.¡± Everyone¡¯s gazes were on Ye Fan. Because just before the competition, no one expected Ye Fan to win against Qin Hao. However, the current situation was that he had overwhelmingly defeated Qin Hao from the Red Fire Academy. Moreover, the Rank 6 skeleton pet he took out was terrifyingly powerful. Compared to the lively atmosphere around them, the atmosphere at Red Flame Academy was extremely heavy. They held an emergency meeting. After discussing it for a while, they decided on the second participant. However¡­ Unsurprisingly, Ye Fan didn¡¯t use the skeleton at all. He just used the other three pets to beat the other party up. This did not consume much of Ye Fan¡¯s strength. Moreover, Ye Fan actually preserved a portion of his strength. It seemed like Red Fire Academy had given up and finally admitted defeat. So until now. The final champion of the entire competition was West Eagle Academy. The referee also announced the results of the competition passionately. The audience cheered, all of them looking at Ye Fan with envy. Ye Fan¡¯s current appearance was probably like a god in their eyes. No one could compare to him. Among his peers, Ye Fan was an existence that they could only look up to. They knew that they could not reach Ye Fan¡¯s level no matter what. Because such a person was simply a genius. It was impossible for ordinary people to have extremely high talent in this aspect like him. Not long after, a voice sounded from the scene. ¡°Ye Fan is invincible!¡± The uniform voices of the crowd echoed in the square. In the private room. Cai Shengyuan and the committee members also looked at the scene excitedly. They understood very well. After today, an incomparably dazzling star would be born in the Alliance. Chapter 140 - 140 It’s Not Hard 140 It¡¯s Not Hard Amidst the applause and cheers, Ye Fan¡¯s teammates finally reacted with shocked expressions. Seeing Ye Fan slowly walk down the stage, they were happy and also admired him. At this moment. The cheers were still like tempestuous waves. The Ye Fan in front of them was invincible. Tang Nan and Qin Hao were both very outstanding geniuses. But Ye Fan was above them, a genius among geniuses. Ordinary people could not reach out to him. Ye Fan was so young and so powerful. He would usually be able to become a Rank 9 Beast Tamer in the future. It was not difficult for him to rise even higher than Rank 9. Everyone felt very lucky to be at the same age as such a shocking genius, but they also felt very helpless. Because the light of a genius had always surrounded Ye Fan. It was vividly displayed on Ye Fan¡¯s body. Compared to him, they were much weaker. ¡°Truly amazing! Ye Fan!¡± Ye Fan had just returned when he was praised by Chen Xin. When the other party pounced on him, he also reached out to hug her. He felt a fragrance coming to him. The others were also overjoyed, especially the instructor. The corners of his mouth curled up to his ears. He could not be blamed. Ye Fan was too shocking. He obtained such a good result. In the past 20 years, this was the first time the West Eagle Academy had won the championship. It could be said that they were proud. The humiliation they usually suffered was returned at this moment. They could all think of it now. If they returned to school, the school would definitely reward them greatly. This glory came from Ye Fan. With a calm expression and a faint smile, Ding Shengxin looked at Ye Fan with deep emotions. This was because before the competition began, no one would have thought that a first-year student would appear halfway and shine on the battlefield. Even he did not expect Ye Fan to have such great talent. Everyone¡¯s cheers did not last long because it was almost time for the award ceremony. Seeing the participants go up to receive the award, Ding Shengxin felt extremely gratified. The others also found this unbelievable. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect West Eagle Academy to be the champion. Who would have thought?¡± ¡°It was indeed unexpected that the West Eagle Academy would have the chance.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think West Eagle Academy won the championship. The one who really won the championship was Ye Fan, because the competition relied on him to win. Both matches were won by him alone.¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Where did West Eagle Academy find such a treasure student?¡± Everyone felt that what he said was right, because Ye Fan¡¯s talent could not be described as a genius. He was simply a treasure. He was an excavated treasure. Moreover, he was only in the first year. Moreover, he could still participate in the school league three years later. At that time, the champion could be imagined. It was definitely him. The participants from the other academies had ugly expressions, especially the instructors. Everyone seemed to have realized this point in advance. They were helpless and worried. Because no one could defeat Ye Fan now, let alone three years later. At that time, Ye Fan would probably become even stronger. No one dared to continue imagining. Ding Shengxin successfully won the trophy. At this time, a system notification sounded in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. ¡°Congratulations on completing the mission, Strongest Academy. You have obtained 5,000 evolution points.¡± At this moment. Ye Fan¡¯s evolution points directly reached more than eight thousand. ¡°I can forcibly evolve two pets.¡± Compared to winning the championship, he cared more about the 5,000 evolution points. After the award ceremony ended, that platform became the venue for the after-show celebration. The audience cheered. The champion team walked into the VIP room together. Under normal circumstances, the participants would be brought to see the committee after the competition. Therefore, when they walked in and saw Cai Shengyuan, the participants were extremely surprised. They were very honored to shake Cai Shengyuan¡¯s hand and even trembled with excitement. Ding Shengxin also went forward excitedly to shake hands. He was no longer as steady as usual. Standing in front of them was the most famous Rank 9 in this city. He was a true expert and a big shot. It was rare to see him, let alone now that they were in close contact. Among the participants, Ye Fan was the calmest, as if they had often met. Because he knew that it was natural for him to become a Rank 9. His goal was not Rank 9, but higher. Because he had such a mentality, when ordinary people thought that Rank 9 was very strong, he treated it calmly. Still. He was not strong enough now, so he respected the strong. However, Cai Shengyuan saw his neither servile nor overbearing attitude and praised him in his heart. He had a very good impression of Ye Fan. ¡°Young man, you performed very well today. You¡¯ve let us old fellows watch to our heart¡¯s content.¡± Cai Shengyuan smiled kindly. ¡°The trophies and rewards of the league are for the academy. This has always been the rule. The academy will give them to the participants. But today, I can give you another reward. You can name whatever you want.¡± Just as he finished speaking, everyone present was very shocked. The committee members were quick-witted and soon understood that Cai Shengyuan admired this Ye Fan very much, so he paid in private to reward him. This was because he appreciated the genius. The participants were also extremely envious of Ye Fan. They knew very well that Cai Shengyuan¡¯s every move was meaningful. Ye Fan was also a little surprised. He did not expect Cai Shengyuan to think so highly of him. However, he could actually freeload. How could he refuse? He first thanked him and said, ¡°The main materials for evolution are what I want.¡± ¡°Which ones do you need?¡± ¡°Star, Taiji Profound Jade, Acorn Fruit, Netherworld Lake Water.¡± Ye Fan decisively said the four required materials. Everyone present was stunned. Because among the materials Ye Fan mentioned, the stars were fire-elemental, and the Acorn Fruit and the Netherworld Lake Water were both relatively rare Rank 6 materials. They were not available on the market at all. It was equivalent to being priceless. As for the Taiji Profound Jade, everyone had basically never heard of this thing. ¡°These are all unpopular materials¡­¡± Everyone was shocked and looked at Ye Fan in disbelief. They subconsciously thought of Ye Fan¡¯s mysterious pets and seemed to understand something. After Ye Fan finished speaking, Cai Shengyuan¡¯s expression was very natural. He was not as surprised as the others. This was because he had seen many battle pets. He knew the materials Ye Fan mentioned and had even seen rarer ones. He thought for a moment. He then spoke. ¡°I do have the stars. I¡¯ll get someone to send them to you.¡± ¡°Acorn fruits and Netherworld Lake Water are relatively rare. I don¡¯t have them now, but I can find them.¡± ¡°And the Taiji Profound Jade.¡± He said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this material.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. Thank you, sir.¡± Ye Fan knew very well that he could not gather these four materials in a short period of time. Even if he could only get one of them, it would be very good. Moreover, Cai Shengyuan had already said that he would help him find other materials, so the chances of finding them would be higher. Battle pets didn¡¯t have to evolve forcibly. ¡°There might be another way to find these materials as soon as possible.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly looked at the other party. ¡°Have you heard of Dragon Bone?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard a little about it!¡± ¡°There are many rare materials in Dragon Bone. There might be something you want.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes suddenly flashed with light. Chen Xin, who was standing at the side, said, ¡°But Dragon Bone is in Chaohai City and North Rock City. The armies on both sides jointly controlled the place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.¡± Cai Shengyuan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re right. That was true before, but now, some parts of Dragon Bone have been opened.¡± ¡°The army is gathering some people. Rank 6 Beast Tamers below 25 can enter.¡± ¡°One of the rewards for the champion is this privilege. It¡¯s valid for two years.¡± The participants were all very enthusiastic. This was because they were all Rank 5 now. Among their peers, they were considered to be at the Elite level. It was still possible for them to reach Rank 6 in two years. Therefore, they all had a chance. Dragon Bone was a ruin that had just been discovered. Everybody already knew about it. It was said that there were countless treasures inside. No matter what was taken out, it could be exchanged for a rather generous reward. This made all the adventurers yearn for it. The participants were not short of money, but the materials for rare pets. If they were lucky enough to find rare Beast Beads, it would be better than money. It would also be very beneficial in the future. Hearing this, Ye Fan was also very interested. Since he could not find the materials now, it was useless to continue searching. He might as well go to the Dragon Bone Tower. If he did not find the rare materials he wanted, he could go there to trigger a quest or find something else. According to his previous experience, it was very likely to trigger a quest. Ye Fan had already decided. ¡°Sir, thank you. I understand what to do.¡± ¡°Continue to work hard. The Alliance needs you.¡± Chapter 141 - 141 Dazzling Existence 141 Dazzling Existence The day after the competition. Every academy had basically returned to normal. However, the commotion caused by this competition did not stop. The news of the first-year student of West Eagle Academy leading the entire team to win the championship spread throughout Chaohai City. Now, everyone knew about it. Many Beast Tamers had heard that this peerless genius came from the West Eagle Academy. He was only 19 years old now, but he had already reached Rank 6. He had also defeated Qin Hao, the heir of a famous family. In just a day and a half. Ye Fan¡¯s name resounded in the circle of the Beast Tamers. In Particular, he had become the idol of young Beast Tamers. In West Eagle Academy, Ye Fan was as dazzling as a celebrity. It was even more exaggerated than when he was the school champion. As long as Ye Fan appeared somewhere in the school, he would definitely be the center of attention. Moreover, people had asked him for an autograph. Most of them were senior sisters. This made Ye Fan very helpless. Because they were too annoying, Ye Fan went to class less often. The school did not punish him. They even approved it generously. The dean specially gave him free time. He didn¡¯t have to attend class. He even wanted to arrange a private tutor for him. However, it was not very meaningful. Ye Fan¡¯s current strength was something that even the teachers of West Eagle Academy could only look up to. Now, there were only a few high-level mentors left who could teach him. ¡­ In the living room of the villa. Ye Fan lay on the sofa and looked at the small bottle on the coffee table. The bottle was filled with red powder. Why was it shining? This was the material that could evolve the Inferno Knight, the stars. ¡°It can finally evolve.¡± Ye Fan smiled as he summoned the system interface. The Inferno Knight and Anissa¡¯s growth progresses were originally 87.24% and 93.93%, respectively. However¡­ Over the past few days, he had taken the time to cultivate outside the city, and their growth had successfully increased to 100%. The ingredient for Anissa¡¯s evolution was the Heart of the Fallen. He had obtained it long ago. However, because the growth progress bar had not been full, it had been delayed until now. Now that the materials were complete and he had obtained the Elemental Crystals, the conditions for the Inferno Knight and Anissa to evolve were met. Ye Fan immediately evolved them. The first was the Inferno Knight. The interface flashed, and new data instantly appeared. Name: Duke of Hellfire Nature: Fire Level: Upper Rank 6 Growth Progress: 0 After evolving to the upper level of Rank 6, it was equivalent to advancing by a realm. Ye Fan was overjoyed, he took a deep breath and continued reading. The other stats were the same as before. However, the fire resistance in the talent column had increased again, directly increasing to immunity. The intermediate intimidation had also advanced to high-level intimidation. However, there was something that had to be said. As long as a creature awakened a Virtual Body or a semi-Virtual Body, the corresponding Elemental Resistance would be awakened. It was just like an Ice Elemental Sprite. Like the Ice Giant, it had resistance to ice elements. Under normal circumstances, there were more beginner and intermediate level resistances. High-level was very rare. Immunity was even rarer. The pet was only at the upper level of Rank 6, but it had naturally obtained immunity. Basically, he had never heard of it. Moreover, besides fire elemental immunity, the Duke of Hellfire could also ¡°absorb flames¡±, a divine talent that could convert fire elements into healing. From the looks of it, if the other party attacked the Duke of Hellfire with fire elements, not only would it not cause any damage, but it would also heal him and speed up his recovery. Therefore, if a fire-element pet encountered him, it would probably be like a nanny. Ye Fan smiled lightly. Then, he saw new talents and skills. These were to be unlocked. Overlord¡¯s Prestige Quickly emits an oppressive prestige. It can trigger the effect of intimidating everyone. The prestige can be turned on or off. Evolution points to unlock: 300. Red Flame Tide Summons a sea of fire, forming waves of flames that instantly drown the other party. This skill deals AOE damage. Evolution points to unlock: 300. Red Forbidden Zone Advanced Skill. With the main body¡¯s position as the center, the surrounding 20 meters will become a restricted area for fire elements. It can deal damage to targets in the restricted area. Evolution points to unlock: 400. ¡°These Skills are all very powerful.¡± Ye Fan sighed. The Overlord¡¯s Prestige was considered Crowd Control. For low-level enemies, the effect would be better. If it was a solo battle, the effect might not be very bad. In a battle with balanced strength, this skill could turn the situation around. It was better to have more Crowd Control skills. The Red Flame Tide and the Red Forbidden Zone both dealt AOE damage. They required a lot of evolution points, so it could be seen that they should be very powerful. Especially the Red Forbidden Zone, it was completely a skill to farm monsters. Ye Fan could imagine that when the Duke of Hellfire charged at a group of demons with the skill activated, he would definitely leave nothing behind. He reacted. Ye Fan did not hesitate and unlocked all three skills with evolution points. When it was done, he looked at Anissa¡¯s data. ¡°You¡¯re next.¡± Then, the vampire¡¯s stats were also refreshed. Name: Vampire Nature: Darkness Level: Upper Rank 6 Growth Progress: 0 Then, it was the same as before. However, she had also evolved by a major realm. In terms of talent, her black magic talent had directly advanced to high-level. She also added Intermediate Intimidation. There were no changes in the skills. Ye Fan looked at the new skills that were waiting to be unlocked. Dark Moon Oath: When night came, its combat strength would be enhanced to varying degrees. The enhancement of dusk and night was different. It was the best at night. Evolution points to unlock: 300. Scarlet Wings: A pair of wings condensed from blood. It could fly at a low altitude. When powered by its own blood, the flying time would be greatly increased. The evolution points to unlock were also 300. ¡°One is enhancement, and the other is auxiliary flying. Both are pretty good.¡± Ye Fan was very satisfied. He unlocked both skills. ¡°Now, only Little Nine and Rose are left.¡± ¡°And the skeleton.¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. After contracting with the skeleton for a long time, he slowly figured out the evolution pattern of the skeleton. The evolution of the military rank was different from other paths of evolution. Every evolution would only increase by three levels. Compared to other pets, it was one fewer. However, it would evolve more often. It should be able to evolve at least six or seven times. Now, the skeleton was a low-level Rank 6. In other words, its next evolution would probably be at the peak of Rank 6. ¡°I hope the other three can evolve during this trip to the Dragon Bone.¡± Ye Fan suddenly thought of something. ¡°By the way, it¡¯s time to look for the sixth pet.¡± ¡°It would be best if I could encounter it at the Dragon Bone.¡± He was not in a hurry. That was because he was focused on evolving the other three pets. About new pets. He could consider it after the other three pets evolved. However, it would be best if he happened upon it during this process. Ye Fan came back to his senses and took out a business card. This was given to him by Cai Shengyuan on the day of the competition. If he was ready to go to the Dragon Bone, he could call at any time. The other party would make all the arrangements and let him enter the Dragon Bone. After thinking for a while, Ye Fan called the other party. Chapter 142 - 142 Attention of All 142 Attention of All The SUV drove in the wilderness. After modification and reinforcement, such an SUV had strong resistance. A pet that looked like an eagle was hovering above the SUV and following it closely. Once a monster approached the vehicle, it would be killed. In the front passenger seat, Ye Fan looked at the scenery outside the car leisurely. The driver had a clean face and a buzz cut. He was a young officer. This person¡¯s name was Xue Yong, a second lieutenant among officers. At that time. The business card that Cai Shengyuan gave Ye Fan was his. Therefore, when Ye Fan called him, the other party agreed immediately. The next day, he drove over and brought Ye Fan to the Dragon Bone. On the way. Ye Fan asked the other party about the Dragon Bone. Xue Yong answered truthfully. Right now, everyone among the Beast Tamers knew about Ye Fan. Because he had been recognized by many Beast Tamers, everyone knew Ye Fan¡¯s name. If this continued, Ye Fan would definitely become a Rank 9 in the future. It was not impossible for him to reach a higher level. Such a peerless genius made Xue Yong want to befriend him. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic on the way. ¡°Ever since the Dragon Bone was opened, the aristocratic families, some financial groups, and adventurer organizations have sent many young people over.¡± ¡°The situation in North Rock City is similar.¡± ¡°There are a lot of Beast Tamers who want to go to the Dragon Bone every day. They have to queue for a long time. It¡¯s very lively.¡± Ye Fan was curious. ¡°Why do they have to line up? Can only one person enter at a time?¡± ¡°Yes. The Dragon Bone is a type of challenge. It¡¯s divided into nine levels. As long as you pass the first level, there will be generous rewards. If you can reach the highest level, which is the ninth level, it seems possible for you to obtain an ancient inheritance, but no one has been there. I don¡¯t know it¡¯s true or not.¡± An ancient inheritance. Ye Fan suddenly became interested. He felt that something related to ancient times was definitely extraordinary and precious. ¡°However, no one has cleared all the levels yet.¡± Xue Yong sighed because he felt that it was impossible for anyone to clear the levels. ¡°The young people of the two cities all challenge the Dragon Bone. There¡¯s basically no one who can pass the ninth level because the difficulty is too high.¡± As the two of them chatted, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Bone. Although it had been more than two months, the camp at the entrance of the Dragon Bone was still quite lively. The number of people did not decrease. Instead, it increased. ¡°We¡¯re getting off here. We have to walk the rest of the way.¡± After parking the car, Xue Yong told Ye Fan. Ye Fan nodded. The two of them got out of the car and walked into the forest. Ye Fan summoned Little Nine and let it follow him. He could use its perception talent to check the surrounding environment. The Rank 4 and Rank 5 monsters in the forest were all weak compared to Little Nine. Every time, before they got close, Little Nine would already sense them and immediately kill them. Xue Yong, who was walking beside Ye Fan, was very shocked, but he could calm down. Because he was also there at the day of the finals. Seeing all the pets Ye Fan had summoned, there was no such masked girl at that time. Moreover, the combat strength of this masked girl was probably at Rank 6. This also meant that in the finals that day, Ye Fan did not use his full strength. He even hid a lot. Xue Yong was shocked, but he did not show it. Ye Fan¡¯s true strength was not what they saw at that time. If this was told to others, they would probably be scared to death. There was actually such a genius? Ye Fan smiled. He did not care about Xue Yong¡¯s expression. He looked at the nearby monsters. He was waiting to tame pets with good aptitudes. Those were all credit points! Although the participants also received generous rewards after the competition, and as a great contributor to West Eagle Academy, Ye Fan had more credit points than the other four, who would complain about having too much money? There would be more and more pets in the future, so there would definitely be a lot of money needed. Putting everything else aside, just the Elemental Crystals alone cost a lot. Therefore, now that the opportunity to earn money was in front of him, he would definitely not ignore it. About an hour later. A wall appeared in front of him. The wall was very high, and Xue Yong looked happy. ¡°We¡¯re here. This is the defense camp. The Dragon Bone is behind the city wall.¡± The two of them quickly walked over. When they entered the camp, they each underwent an inspection and only entered after passing. After passing through the tent, they saw a very large square. Warriors in military uniforms were standing around. They were fully armed, including some Beast Tamers. Ye Fan looked around, his attention finally landing on a dragon head. The dragon head looked like bones. It did not have flesh and blood and had a pair of dragon horns on it. The dragon horns were very huge. When one looked up, one could not see the full appearance of the dragon. One could only feel an inexplicable aura. This aura was mixed with dignity. This was Dragon Might. It came from the level suppression of life. It could make any life tremble. ¡°Isn¡¯t it shocking?¡± Xue Yong looked at the dragon¡¯s skull with reverence. ¡°I was as surprised as you when I first saw the Dragon Bone.¡± Ye Fan nodded. This dragon must have been dead for many years. Its skin and flesh had all disappeared, leaving only its bones. Even so, it could still emit an incomparably powerful aura. Therefore, how powerful and ferocious must this dragon have been when it was alive? Thinking of this, Ye Fan looked forward to the reward even more, his heart burning with flames. At this moment, many people had already come over. Some of them were gathered together to chat. There were about a hundred of them! They were all young people in their twenties. These people were probably the young people from the two cities that Xue Yong had mentioned. But Ye Fan attracted a lot of attention. Everyone was secretly surprised to see a uniformed officer standing beside him. The reward would only appear when one cleared a certain level of the Dragon Bone for the first time. The armies of these two cities had already controlled the Dragon Bone for more than two months. The young officers should have passed the levels long ago and usually wouldn¡¯t come to join in the fun. But now, there was a young man who looked like he was from the military in front of them, so he attracted a lot of attention. After that. In the blink of an eye. The Beast Tamers all recognized Ye Fan. ¡°That seems to be Ye Fan.¡± ¡°He¡¯s actually here too.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss. Ye Fan is also a Rank 6 like us, and he¡¯s also a young man. Isn¡¯t it normal for him to come here?¡± ¡°Yes. Who among the young people of this generation doesn¡¯t know Ye Fan?¡± ¡°I wonder how many levels he can pass.¡± The Beast Tamers of North Rock City were curious. They looked at Ye Fan at the same time. They wondered where this person came from. So many people actually knew him. Moreover, Ye Fan looked very young, he was probably not even twenty years old. The first condition to enter the Dragon Bone was Rank 6 below the age of 25. Even if the people present were all powerful young people, they were probably above 23 years old. Very few were under the age of 23. Not to mention Ye Fan, who was not even 20 years old. ¡°Who¡¯s that handsome guy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. He doesn¡¯t look familiar. It should be his first time here!¡± ¡°All the young people from the aristocratic families have been here. He shouldn¡¯t be one of them. Could it be that he was secretly nurtured by the military?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. You can¡¯t see the bearing of a soldier on him at all.¡± ¡°Then I wonder who he is.¡± The square was noisy and lively. Everybody was talking about Ye Fan. Ye Fan was embarrassed. He did not expect them to talk about him now. He had a helpless expression. He ignored his surroundings. He took the number plate from the soldiers and stood at the side with Xue Yong. As he looked at the people in front of him, he waited to enter. At this moment. An acquaintance suddenly appeared in front of Ye Fan. This was Qin Hao, whom he had seen in the competition. ¡°He¡¯s actually here too.¡± Ye Fan raised his brows. Then he thought that Qin Hao was also the successor of an aristocratic family, so the man had the qualifications to enter the Dragon Bone. Qin Hao also saw Ye Fan, he had mixed feelings. He had been outstanding since he was young and his strength was extraordinary. His family had carefully nurtured him and let him win at the starting line. He was also very outstanding and far exceeded his peers. He had lived under the envious gazes of others since he was young. At least, it was others who were envious of him. He thought that this situation would last forever. But at this time, he met Ye Fan in the league. Ever since that day, the genius halo that originally belonged to him no longer seemed to belong to him. From then on, it moved to someone else. It landed on Ye Fan. News of Ye Fan defeating him spread everywhere. Every time someone mentioned Ye Fan, everyone would think about how easily Ye Fan defeated Qin Hao. He seemed to have become Ye Fan¡¯s stepping stone. In the past twenty years, Qin Hao had never felt so humiliated. He was unwilling and jealous of Ye Fan. However, such emotions were mixed with admiration. Because Ye Fan relied on his strength to defeat him. Beside Qin Hao was an elder from the family. The elder saw the change in Qin Hao¡¯s expression and sighed. Then, he patted Qin Hao. ¡°Victory and defeat are common in war. You only lost once, don¡¯t be too obsessed with it. The family will always be behind you. It is your solid backing. As long as you work hard, you can still compete with Ye Fan in the future.¡± Qin Hao took a deep breath and nodded. After opening his eyes, the confusion and frustration from before were all gone. Now, there was only intense fighting spirit. Yes. Losing to Ye Fan now did not mean that this would happen in the future. ¡°Current strength doesn¡¯t mean the future. It¡¯s still uncertain who will stand at the peak in the future!¡± Chapter 143 - 143 Everyone Is Stronger Than Him 143 Everyone Is Stronger Than Him Ye Fan did not care about the other party¡¯s words. He only looked away indifferently. He focused all his attention on the Dragon Bone in front of him. People kept coming out of the Dragon Bone and entering. After each person came out, an officer would read out the number of the next person. The Beast Tamers whose number was called would enter the Dragon Bone. One could enter the Dragon Bone from the dragon¡¯s head. There was a completely different world inside, but one could not tell anything from the outside. However, what was interesting was that there were seven ring-shaped patterns carved on the surface of the Dragon Bone. If someone entered, the first line would glow. A few minutes later. The second pattern would also glow. This meant that the Beast Tamer had passed the first level and reached the second. The sequence of the line that lit up indicated the level that the Beast Tamer had reached. Ye Fan observed for a while. Many challengers could only reach the fourth level and was stuck at it. They had to leave regretfully. At this moment, discussions suddenly sounded. Ye Fan turned around and saw a young man in his twenties. The man raised his head and puffed out his chest, walking into the Dragon Bone with large strides. ¡°Xu Zheng from North Rock City.¡± ¡°He¡¯s from the Adventurer¡¯s Association.¡± ¡°That¡¯s him! I knew it. He won¡¯t let go of such a good opportunity.¡± ¡°Rumor has it that Xu Zheng is extremely talented. I really look forward to what level he can reach.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s watch here!¡± As everyone discussed, they looked at the person who had just disappeared at the entrance. Ye Fan also saw that person. He turned around to ask Xue Yong. ¡°Everyone seems to know that person just now. Who is he?¡± Xue Yong said, ¡°Xu Zheng is the pride of his generation in North Rock City. The president of the Adventurer¡¯s Association took him in as a disciple two years ago.¡± ¡°I heard that although he has a normal background, he¡¯s talented. He became a Rank 6 Beast Tamer at the age of 22. When he broke through, he caused quite a commotion. In the eyes of ordinary people, he¡¯s a genius.¡± When Xue Yong introduced this person, his tone was filled with praise. However, before he could finish, he suddenly realized that Ye Fan was also an ordinary person. Moreover, his talent was much stronger than Xu Zheng¡¯s. He had broken through to Rank 6 before reaching 20. If one wanted to elect the most dazzling genius among ordinary people, it would definitely be Ye Fan. Thinking of this, the other party changed the topic. ¡°Two years have passed. In these two years, he should be able to increase his strength a lot. Perhaps he can pass the fourth level.¡± Ye Fan looked up at the Dragon Bone. Time passed slowly. The second, third, and fourth levels of the Dragon Bone all lit up. Ten minutes later. The fifth level lit up. Everyone present whispered. They felt very shocked, but they also felt that it was expected. ¡°He actually passed the fourth level.¡± ¡°He is indeed powerful!¡± ¡°I knew he¡¯d pass.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the only one to pass the fourth level today.¡± ¡°I wonder if he can pass the fifth level.¡± After about half an hour, the fifth level dimmed. At this moment, the sixth level did not light up for a long time. Right on the heels of that, the dragon head opened and Xu Zheng walked out with a regretful expression. What a pity. Just a little longer and he would be able to pass the fifth level. Still. Even so, everyone¡¯s envious and admiring gazes still surrounded him. A trace of smugness appeared on Xu Zheng¡¯s face. He returned to the crowd and sized up his surroundings. In the end, his gaze landed on a tall young man and he hesitated for a moment. He smiled and said, ¡°Zhou He, it¡¯s your turn soon, right?¡± ¡°Good luck. Don¡¯t disappoint me. I¡¯m still waiting to see your exciting performance!¡± When Zhou He heard this, his expression suddenly darkened. After a while, he sneered. ¡°Then you have to watch carefully. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t blink.¡± With that, he strode towards the entrance. The corners of Xu Zheng¡¯s mouth curled up as he looked up at the Dragon Bone. The first stage shone, and right on the heels of that was the second stage. Then, the third and fourth stages. Compared to Xu Zheng, the time it took for the light to shine was much shorter. Xu Zheng¡¯s expression was a little ugly. Not long after. The fifth level also lit up. Everyone discussed again. By now, Zhou He and Xu Zheng¡¯s results were even. ¡°Speaking of which, who is this Zhou He?¡± Ye Fan asked Xue Yong. ¡°North Rock City, from the Zhou family.¡± Xue Yong had learned about these people beforehand. ¡°The Zhou family is a famous beast tamer family in North Rock City. Their status is about the same as Qin Hao¡¯s family.¡± ¡°This Zhou He was nurtured as the heir by his main family. Xu Zheng is the same. Zhou He advanced to Rank 6 when he was 20 years old. His strength is extremely outstanding. I heard that he has already been chosen by the Zhou family.¡± Ye Fan raised his head slightly. It seemed that this Dragon Bone was indeed the gathering place of the new generation of young elites. Now, Zhou He and Xu Zheng were stronger than geniuses. Qin Hao could only rank behind them. At this moment. The light for the fifth level was also off. The sixth level began to glow. The crowd exclaimed. They did not expect him to pass the fifth level. At this moment, Xu Zheng¡¯s expression was very ugly. Even his gaze darkened. The light of the sixth level was on for about 20 minutes. Then, Zhou He came out. ¡°Young Master.¡± A very old man walked forward with a smile. This uncle was an elder of the Zhou family and had specially come to protect Zhou He. ¡°Young Master has passed the fifth level. This result is already very good. Congratulations.¡± Zhou He couldn¡¯t stand the praise and laughed. Then, he found Xu Zheng and walked forward, speaking to him in a disdainful tone. ¡°More exciting than yours, right?¡± At this moment, Xu Zheng suppressed his urge and did not say a word. After hesitating, he walked to the number collection office to get a new number. He wanted to challenge it again. Because he was so close just now. Zhou He¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule. He had originally planned to leave, but now, he stopped in place, planning to see the results of the others who challenged the Dragon Bone. Another purpose was to wait for Xu Zheng making a fool of himself. ¡°As expected of a genius.¡± Xue Yong sighed. Ye Fan also nodded. Time passed slowly. The people who came to challenge entered and came out one after another. Unfortunately, there were no more people like Zhou He who could pass the fifth level and reach the sixth level. Moreover, only one could reach the fifth level. This person had an honest face and was estimated to be 23 or 24 years old. His name was Zhang Qiren. Xue Yong told Ye Fan that the other party was the disciple of the leader of the Adventurer¡¯s Association. Those who achieved good results all came from North Rock City. This made everyone in Chaohai City feel embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhang Qiren appeared halfway and saved some face. After Zhang Qiren came out, he received everyone¡¯s praise. Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, a smile appeared on Zhang Qiren¡¯s honest face, but he still felt a little unnatural. Zhou He¡¯s face was expressionless, as if he was watching a show. The staff of the army read out Ye Fan¡¯s name. Xue Yong immediately reminded Ye Fan. Ye Fan walked out towards the Dragon Bone. Xue Yong was cheering behind him. But even though he was cheering, he did not think that Ye Fan could successfully pass many levels. Even if Ye Fan was a genius and had become a Rank 6 Beast Tamer at such a young age, he had too little time. If the time was short, the experience he accumulated would be low, not as rich as the experience of the other challengers on the spot. Almost every Beast Tamer present had three or four Rank 6 pets. But Ye Fan only had one. There was no need to mention the difference. Thus, according to Xue Yong¡¯s guess, Ye Fan would probably stop at the third level. If he was lucky, he would at most stop at the fourth level. Ye Fan¡¯s current strength was already at the limit of the fourth level. ¡°If you were 25 years old now, you might be able to reach the ninth level. It¡¯s a pity.¡± Xue Yong said. As they thought about this, everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by Ye Fan. Their gazes were scrutinizing him. Their hearts and faces were filled with doubt. Among the challengers present, Ye Fan should be the youngest, and he was several years younger than the others. Therefore, everyone was very shocked. ¡°He dares to challenge this place at such a young age. His courage is commendable.¡± Zhou He said this in disdain, pretending to be sophisticated. The old man beside him nodded in agreement. ¡°However, it¡¯s rare to see such a young Rank 6 Beast Tamer. He probably has a powerful background.¡± He thought for a moment and said. ¡°He¡¯s just too young.¡± Zhou He nodded. The man had reached Rank 6 at such a young age. He was definitely a genius. As for his strength, he was probably not very strong. This was because some experience required time to accumulate. Any one of the people present had accumulated several years of experience after breaking through to Rank 6. The more experience they accumulated, the more stable their strength would be. Any one of them would be stronger than this Ye Fan. Zhou He lost interest and looked away from the Dragon Bone. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ye Fan calmly arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Bone. After a slight pause, he stepped out and entered the Dragon Bone. Chapter 144 - 144 Dragon Bone Quest 144 Dragon Bone Quest The scene in front of him changed. When the scene in front of him cleared up, Ye Fan discovered that he was in an extremely dark and vast place. The surroundings were very quiet. It was pitch-black around him. He could tell that the surroundings were white, more like white bones, emitting a cold aura. Ye Fan sized up the surroundings and was not prepared to take action. The system¡¯s voice sounded in his head. ¡°Congratulations. The Dragon Bone Quest is now released.¡± ¡°Dragon Soul¡¯s Inheritance: After passing each level at the Dragon Bone, you can obtain evolution points.¡± It seemed that he could indeed trigger a quest. Joy appeared on Ye Fan¡¯s face. Entering the Dragon Bone triggered the quest. This guess was correct. In that case, he would soon obtain evolution points. Just thinking about it made him happy. Ye Fan walked forward. However, just as he took a step forward¡­ A very low dragon roar came from the depths of the darkness. A terrifying pressure immediately descended and enveloped Ye Fan. It was as heavy and winding as a mountain. This was the true might of a dragon, even more shocking than the outside world. However, this was only the first stage of the Dragon Bone. Ye Fan had learned about the obstacles inside the Dragon Bone from Xue Yong. Therefore, he was not so surprised. He activated Soul Guardian and light enveloped his entire body. In an instant, it was as if the gravity that had been pressing down on him had disappeared. Ye Fan continued forward. The dragon might that many people were afraid of was useless in front of the Level 10 Soul Guardian. After walking through the hall, he walked forward for a while. The pressure that had enveloped him just now disappeared. At this moment. Light suddenly appeared in the darkness. A ferocious dragon head appeared in front of him. The silver dragon soul looked down at Ye Fan. Its deafening voice could be heard. ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the first level.¡± ¡°This is the reward for the first level.¡± After saying this, a finger-sized golden ball of light emerged from the dragon head and slowly flew in front of Ye Fan. Ye Fan reached out and took it. It was an incomparably smooth golden pearl. ¡°This thing is called the Dragon Soul Pearl. It can be exchanged for treasures.¡± ¡°After the challenge ends, you can use this to exchange for treasures.¡± ¡°Young man, do you choose to leave with your things, or stay and continue to accept the challenge?¡± Ye Fan accepted the Dragon Soul Pearl and nodded: ¡°Continue.¡± The dragon soul didn¡¯t say anything else and disappeared into the darkness. At this moment. The system¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the first level. 100 evolution points have been given to you.¡± It was only 100 evolution points. What could this amount do? However, this was only the first level. Ye Fan stayed for a while. The surroundings were very quiet. He then walked forward, preparing to face the second round. After leaving the hall, he saw a staircase formed by a layer of white bones. He walked up. He arrived at the second round. This was a very empty hall. But it wasn¡¯t as dark as before. There were braziers burning on the walls, and the entire hall was illuminated by the flames. At this moment, a group of dragon-type monsters that were only half the height of a person with wings, long forelimbs, short lower limbs, and sharp claws wandered around the middle of the hall. These were pterodactyls, high-level Rank 5 creatures. Ye Fan looked around. After counting, there were about 30 of them. Xue Yong was right. The pterodactyls also noticed Ye Fan. They flapped their wings and raised their claws. Ye Fan calmly summoned the Duke of Hellfire. After the Duke of Hellfire evolved, he wore armor that was even more exquisite and gorgeous than before. The surface of the armor was outlined with scarlet fire patterns, making it look very beautiful. It added a sense of nobility and magnificence. Besides this. There was also an additional Fire Cloak compared to before. The cloak was made of flames. Even if there was no wind, it would move. Just like flames, it shone brightly. The Duke of Hellfire waved his Spear and took a step forward. Wherever the spear passed, a large number of flames appeared. They pounced forward like waves. Their power was especially shocking. This was the Red Flame Tide. The pterodactyls flying over were swallowed by the flames before they could react. The sound of flesh burning could be heard all around. The pterodactyls that were burned to charcoal fell to the ground one after another. After the flames were extinguished, the pterodactyls were completely wiped out. Not a single one survived. The pterodactyls were charred black and fell to the ground. They could be considered to have been completely wiped out. Ye Fan had only used one attack. Seeing this, Ye Fan was quite satisfied with this power. The Duke of Hellfire¡¯s strength had doubled after evolution. Coupled with his talent and skills, his current combat strength was much higher than before. Even if the other party was a Rank-7, he still had the strength to fight them. The silver dragon soul appeared again. The reward for this level was two Dragon Soul Pearls. Besides this. The evolution points had also increased to 300. Ye Fan chose to continue challenging. Then, he quickly walked to the third level towards the bone stairs. ¡­ Outside the Dragon Bone. Everybody looked at the entrance and thought that the young Beast Tamer would come out at any time. No one thought highly of him. They were just curious about which stage he would lose. The third or fourth, maybe. They looked at the dragon head. The first level was lit up. It meant that Ye Fan was passing the first round. It was not until the light of the first level was extinguished that the second level lit up. ¡°Why is he so fast?¡± Everyone was very surprised. Because less than a minute had passed. Other than the time it took to communicate with the dragon soul, it had only been more than ten seconds! Which meant¡­ That young man had passed the first level in less than 20 seconds. It was indeed shocking. ¡°This speed is amazing. He¡¯s been moving forward without stopping.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only the first round. Besides, Dragon¡¯s Might doesn¡¯t deal much damage to begin with. As long as you learn the defense-class skills, you can easily pass.¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy for you to say. Why weren¡¯t you so fast back then?¡± ¡°Indeed, the Dragon¡¯s Might doesn¡¯t have much damage, but it¡¯s not easy to withstand it. I¡¯ve already cultivated the Soul Guardian to the third realm, but it still took me five minutes to withstand Dragon Might.¡± ¡°Could it be that the young man¡¯s defense is stronger?¡± Everyone discussed endlessly. At this moment, the second level was extinguished. Then. Everyone watched in shock as the third level lit up. The scene immediately fell silent. Immediately, they heard lively discussions. ¡°This is too fast.¡± ¡°He passed the second level in less than two minutes.¡± ¡°There seem to be 30 pterodactyls in the second round, and they¡¯re all high-level Rank 5.¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Everyone was very shocked. Even if it was them, they would not be able to kill 30 pterodactyls in such a short period of time. However, that young student could do it so easily. At this moment. Everyone looked at each other in silence, their eyes filled with doubt and guesses. ¡°Is this Ye Fan that powerful?¡± Xue Yong muttered to himself in shock. He seemed to suddenly understand that Ye Fan had hidden a lot of strength in the league. Otherwise, Ye Fan could not have become so strong in such a short period of time. Thinking of this, Xue Yong sighed inwardly. In his heart, Ye Fan was a mysterious person. Not far away. Qin Hao watched this scene with an indescribable expression. Because he had the same thoughts as Xue Yong. In the finals, Ye Fan defeated him so easily while holding back a large portion of his strength. Qin Hao stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning. This fact had a huge impact on him, so he was trapped in the memories of the finals and could not recover. The elder hesitated, not knowing how to comfort him. He knew that his young master had very strong self-esteem. Moreover, even other people with strong self-esteem would have the same reaction as his young master. ¡­ Zhou He and Xu Zheng were both shocked. ¡°This speed is indeed fast. The young people these days are not weak. I underestimated him.¡± The expression of the uncle beside Zhou He changed as he stared at the Dragon Bone. ¡°There¡¯s such a genius in Chaohai City.¡± Zhou He frowned, but unexpectedly, he relaxed again. He was confident that among everyone present today, nobody could break his record. Moreover, that was a young man who was not even 20 years old. The audience gradually quietened down. Everyone stopped chatting and looked at the dragon head. They were afraid that they would miss anything. The light of the third level was extinguished. Everyone seemed to have instantly stopped breathing, their eyes wide in disbelief. The next second, the fourth level lit up. The square instantly exploded. Chapter 145 - 145 So That’s the Reason 145 So That¡¯s the Reason An incomparably lively commotion echoed in the square. Everyone was basically dumbfounded. Everyone knew very well what was in the third level because they had all been there before and knew the difficulty of the third level. It was not difficult, but it was very time-consuming. !! It had only been less than four minutes since the light went on. Not counting the time it took to walk and communicate, only counting the time it took to fight, it should be two minutes. Wasn¡¯t this astonishing speed too terrifying? Even Zhou He didn¡¯t have such speed, but Ye Fan did. Zhou He was shocked speechless. Now. Even he began to worry. Was Ye Fan really going to break his record? ¡­ Ye Fan was inside the Dragon Bone, so he didn¡¯t know what was going on outside. At this moment, he had just reached the third level. The third level consisted of 50 Pterodactyls and a Rank-6 Blue-striped Pterodactyl. The difficulty was even higher than the second level. The Duke of Hellfire summoned his horse and opened the red restricted area. He rushed into the group of pterodactyls and used his ultimate skill. After a little effort, the dragons were completely wiped out. The rewards for this level were three Dragon Soul Pearls and 500 evolution points. Ye Fan had more or less guessed it. He could obtain the corresponding Dragon Soul Pearls at every level. The further he went, the more Dragon Soul Pearls there were. He continued to challenge. The number of guards in the fourth level decreased. There were only five. However, they were all Blue-Striped Pterodactyls. ¡°So that¡¯s why everyone lost at this level.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Dragons¡¯ combat strength was already higher than ordinary creatures of the same level. Moreover, these were five Rank 6 beasts. Their combat strength was comparable to a high-level Rank 6 beast. Even Zhou He had to summon all his sixth-rank pets to defeat the Blue-striped Pterodactyls. Moreover, the pets had to be above the intermediate level. This was because once they were low or intermediate, they would quickly be crushed by the other party. ¡°The difficulty of the fourth level is not low. I can¡¯t imagine what the ninth level will be like.¡± Ye Fan was somewhat expectant. The Blue-striped Pterodactyls were already preparing to attack. Ye Fan also came back to his senses and didn¡¯t think too much about it. He summoned the pets. A white light flashed. Anissa, Cang Gu the Skeleton, Little Nine, and Rose all came out. Everyone fought together and ran towards the Blue-striped Pterodactyls. Rose stood at the back and began to support her teammates. She gave her teammates buffs and reduced the enemy¡¯s attack power. As soon as they approached, Anissa and the skeleton worked together to kill a Pterodactyl. Although the dragon was powerful enough, Anissa and the skeleton were slightly stronger than it. Other than Rose, any of his pets could fight above their level. Facing such a powerful lineup, even the pterodactyls were broken like plants. In less than ten minutes. The five pterodactyls were all eliminated. The reward this time was four Dragon Soul Pearls, and the evolution points had increased to 700. ¡°The rewards triggered here are indeed generous.¡± Ye Fan was very satisfied. This was because in just ten minutes, he had obtained 1,600 evolution points. Moreover, this was only the fourth level. At this rate, the rewards after the fifth level should exceed 4,000 points. These were more evolution points than the reward for the champion of the league. Recovering from his joy, Ye Fan continued to challenge. He arrived at the hall of the fifth level. In front of him were five more monsters. Among them, four were still Blue-striped Pterodactyls, but the fifth was a little dragon man with white scales that emitted golden light. He held an extremely sharp trident in his hand. This was the first time Ye Fan had seen a dragon man. Ye Fan curiously sized him up. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen such a thing before.¡± He had no such memories in his mind, nor did he have any relevant impressions. Fortunately, he had the system. Opening the system page, he searched for the dragon man. The Firmament Dragon Man was at the peak of Rank 6. ¡°Peak Rank-6 dragon-class. Its actual combat strength should be close to Rank-7!¡± He frowned slightly. At this time, the other party had already noticed Ye Fan and rushed over with the trident. ¡°Aisha, you deal with this one. As for the other four, there are other pets to deal with them!¡± Among Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pets, Anissa was the strongest. Therefore, if he encountered a powerful enemy, Anissa would definitely be the first to fight. Although he had awakened many innate skills, he was only at the lower level of Rank 6 now. His combat strength was slightly weaker than the other two. But that was only so far. As long as he could obtain an evolution, he would be able to reach the peak of Rank 6. At that time, he would be his strongest fighter. The other four would almost be instantly killed. Ye Fan¡¯s other three Battle Pets quickly joined in to deal with the Firmament Dragon Man. The four pets worked together to encircle and surround the enemy, together with the support-type Rose. The Firmament Dragon Man only lived for more than a minute under their hands. In less than two minutes, it let out a loud cry and died under Anissa¡¯s sword. ¡°It¡¯s indeed quite troublesome.¡± Little Nine said. Then, he looked at Ye Fan with some complaints. Apart from Rose, he was the weakest among the pets. Until now, he was only a high-level Rank-5. Sensing the other party looking at him, Ye Fan coughed to hide his embarrassment. What could he do? The Taiji Profound Jade was too difficult to find. Even an expert like Cai Shengyuan had never heard of such a material. However, from the looks of it, the rarer the material, the more greatly it could increase strength after evolution. The spoils of war in the fifth level were five Dragon Soul Pearls and 1,000 evolution points. So far. Ye Fan already had 9,800 evolution points, nearly 10,000. Ye Fan didn¡¯t immediately go to the sixth level. He foolishly stood there, looking at the interface in deep thought. The difficulty of each level of the Dragon Bone had increased greatly. It was only the fifth level, but a peak Rank-6 had appeared. From the looks of it, the sixth or seventh level would probably have many peak Rank-6 beasts. Moreover, there would definitely be more than three of them. With his current pets, he should be able to clear the level, but he would have to pay a high price. If his pets were accidentally seriously injured, it would be troublesome in the later stages. ¡°I still have to increase my strength. Skeleton or Little Nine, I have to evolve at least one of them.¡± Ye Fan was a bit slow. It seemed that he could only evolve by force. Suddenly. His eyes flickered as he looked up into the sky. ¡°Can I exchange the Dragon Soul Pearls now?¡± There was an instant of silence before the dragon soul appeared. Crack! In front of Ye Fan, a huge screen of light appeared. The words were like a waterfall. ¡°Heavenly Net, materials for a sixth-rank pet, two Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Evil Heart Buddha Branch, materials for a sixth-rank pet, two Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Azure Sky Dragon Blood, materials for a seventh-rank pet, five Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Ming Dragon Remnant Soul, materials for an eighth-rank pet, 12 Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Dragon, a seventh-rank pet. The upper limit is the intermediate level of the ninth rank, 18 Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°White Demon, an eighth-rank pet. The upper limit is the peak of the ninth rank, 25 Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Azure Sky Dragon, an eighth-rank pet. The upper limit is king-level, 35 Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± The items he could exchange for were all kinds of fancy. Not only were there many types of materials, but there were also pets? Besides, a few of them could reach the king level. Such pets were rare. Even Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. It turned out that this was the reason why the pets were so persistent about the Dragon Bone. This Dragon Bone was indeed a treasure trove. But the amount of Dragon Pearls needed to exchange for them wasn¡¯t small. The fire in Ye Fan¡¯s heart had been extinguished a little. Even if he passed the nine levels, he would only be able to obtain 45 Dragon Soul Pearls. There were many treasures, but there was a limit to what he could exchange for. The Azure Sky Dragon was a rare pet that could only be exchanged for 35 Dragon Soul Pearls. Therefore, one had to pass all eight levels in one go to exchange for it. ¡°This Azure Sky Dragon is at the peak of Rank 8. I have to advance to Rank 8 to contract it. There¡¯s no need to exchange it now. Ye Fan sighed and shifted his gaze elsewhere, looking at other things. What surprised him was that there were actually Soul Fruits among the items to be exchanged? However, the price was not low. One Soul Fruit required ten Dragon Soul Pearls, and the price was equivalent to other Rank-8 materials. Ye Fan also realized how difficult it had been to obtain the Soul Fruits in the arena. ¡°The price is indeed very high. Ordinary people probably can¡¯t afford it. Even if they can, they probably won¡¯t pay such a huge price.¡± The most important thing for a Beast Tamer was the strength of the pet. Soul techniques could only play a supportive role. They would not waste ten Dragon Soul Pearls to exchange for a bit of soul power or a few soul techniques. None of them were like Ye Fan, whose soul arts were powerful enough to kill Rank-7 monsters. Coming back to his senses, Ye Fan continued to search. Not long after. He saw what he had always wanted. ¡°Nether Spring Water, Acorn Fruit, Taiji Profound Jade.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Chapter 146 - 146 It’s Easy to Exchange for These 146 It¡¯s Easy to Exchange for These ¡°Acorn Fruit, Rank 6 material, requires two Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Nether Spring Water, Rank 6 material, requires three Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Taiji Profound Jade, Rank 6 material, requires three Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes were shining as he looked at the screen. These three materials were all Rank 6, and the number of Dragon Soul Pearls needed was not high. Even if he exchanged for all three materials, he would only need eight Dragon Soul Pearls. Right now, Ye Fan had fifteen Dragon Soul Pearls. It was very easy to exchange for them. Without thinking, he exchanged for all three materials. Seeing the three materials appear in front of him, Ye Fan¡¯s face was filled with joy. He had been searching for these three materials for a long time, and he had finally found them. Therefore, he could evolve his pets next. At some point, Little Nine had come in front of him. Through the mask, he could imagine Little Nine staring at him from behind it. Ye Fan found it funny. ¡°Alright, you can evolve first!¡± As soon as he finished speaking. The system interface appeared. Now, Little Nine¡¯s growth was 89%. Ye Fan used his evolution points to increase her growth to 100% before starting to evolve. Following that, the data on the interface immediately changed. Name: Yin-Yang Master Nature: Illusion Level: Upper Rank 6 Growth Progress: 0 The talent skills and evolution path were still the same. However, after evolution, it had increased by a realm. But in the new talent column, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. The talent to be unlocked was: Power of God: It contains the power of God. Although it is only a trace, it can greatly increase resistance to negative effects, doubling the original resistance. If there is no corresponding resistance, it will automatically obtain basic resistance. Requires 500 evolution points to unlock. ¡°This talent is quite practical.¡± Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but praise. The talent of the Power of God was almost equivalent to basic resistance to negative effects. Moreover, it was much better. Like Little Nine, she already had sleep resistance and deterrence resistance. Now, she had the Power of God. The result was sleep immunity and deterrence immunity. It was quite shocking. Moreover, she could automatically obtain some elementary resistance talents, such as poison, disease, and so on. Just one of them was equivalent to awakening and strengthening five talents. It was very worth it. In comparison, it was worth it to pay 500 evolution points. Ye Fan directly unlocked the Power of God. There were two more skills, which were also very useful. Fox Seal could release spirit talismans that entangled the enemy and explode, causing powerful spiritual damage to the target. It could be unlocked with 300 evolution points. Flame Fox Dance was an advanced version of the original skill. It could release the condensed blue fox flames and burn the target. The target would suffer high-intensity fire damage. It required 300 evolution points to unlock. Ye Fan unlocked these two skills. He turned to look at Little Nine. Little Nine¡¯s appearance had also changed greatly. The mask on her face was gone. She revealed a very beautiful face. Two cherry-blossom-like headdresses were added to her long and straight black hair. They were simple and yet beautiful. Her original red and white clothes also had many cherry blossom patterns on them, making her look incomparably gorgeous and noble. Little Nine was originally very beautiful. With this outfit, Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. ¡°Am I beautiful?¡± Little Nine beautifully spun in circles. She was exceptionally happy with Ye Fan¡¯s shocked gaze. ¡°Yes, you are beautiful.¡± Ye Fan also praised her. Then, he turned his attention to the evolution of Rose. So far, Rose had the lowest growth progress among pets. Even now, her growth was only around 30%. Her attack power wasn¡¯t high, and Ye Fan had spent a lot of effort to reach this level. Most of the time, he wanted to use evolution points to help her increase her growth. This was the only way. After spending more than 300 evolution points, he successfully increased the growth of Rose to the maximum before evolving it. The data on the system interface was also refreshed. Name: Flower Sprite Nature: Plants Level: Upper Rank 6 Growth Progress: 0 His talent and skills were still the same as before. However, it had also increased by a major realm. There were no changes to the skills, but there were new talents, namely intermediate paralysis resistance and water resistance. Ye Fan glanced at it. Then, he looked at the new talent after leveling up. Healing Power: Within a hundred meters of the Awakened, you can specify ten targets to quickly recover their stamina and energy. The speed is 100. Unlocking this talent requires 500 evolution points. This talent was quite impressive. Ye Fan was very satisfied. This talent was passive. It could not immediately increase one¡¯s combat strength, but it could greatly enhance endurance. The pets could last longer in battle and also guarantee their survival. It was quite practical. Ye Fan chose to unlock it. Leaf Knife could use leaves to form sharp blades. It could use energy to strengthen the leaf blades in a specific area. It was powerful and could cause a large area of damage. It also required 300 evolution points to unlock. ¡°It¡¯s finally an offensive skill. Moreover, it¡¯s a large-scale area-of-effect attack.¡± Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Now, he didn¡¯t have to worry about how to increase his growth. Although he would only gain less experience, he could accumulate and maximize his growth. With the Leaf Blade skill, even if it didn¡¯t work, he could still kill low-level monsters. Although the EXP was small, it could be accumulated. ¡°From the evolution points needed to unlock it, the substantive damage of this skill shouldn¡¯t be low.¡± Ye Fan unlocked the skill. The two pets had evolved and unlocked a lot of talents and skills, costing a total of more than 2,000 evolution points. However, they had also gained a lot. By now, Ye Fan¡¯s five battle pets had already reached the sixth rank. ¡°Next is Skeleton.¡± He had already obtained the Nether Spring Water. It was just short of increasing its growth to the peak of Rank 6. At that time, Ye Fan would also be able to focus all his energy on the seventh rank. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed as he summoned the exchange screen. Then, he searched for the materials that the pets would need if they wanted to advance to the seventh rank. ¡°Meteorite. Rank-7 material. Requires five Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°Acorn Heart. Rank-7 material. Requires five Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± ¡°God¡¯s Talisman. Rank-7 material. Requires six Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± His luck was pretty good. What Anissa needed was unavailable. The materials needed for other pets could be exchanged here. Ye Fan thought for a moment and asked Anissa. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what the blood essence is from. As long as it¡¯s Rank-7, it¡¯s fine?¡± The other party nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as it¡¯s from an uncontracted Rank-7 creature, but it must be the blood from heart.¡± Therefore, he had to kill them. Ye Fan nodded. This wasn¡¯t difficult. With his current combat strength, it was very easy for him to deal with a Rank-7 monster. There were still many Rank-7 monsters around. He could just kill a few and take some blood. Compared to other pets, the material Anissa needed seemed to be simpler. If other Rank-6 Beast Tamers heard Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts, they would probably die of anger. Even Zhou He, an expert of the sixth rank, couldn¡¯t guarantee that he could defeat a seventh rank monster. Even low-level seventh rank pets might be too strong for him. Rank-7 monsters were very troublesome for them. It was not easy to defeat them. Only a peerless genius like Ye Fan would have such confidence. He felt that dealing with a Rank-7 monster was like killing a small fly. He came back to his senses. Ye Fan continued forward. He stepped onto the stairs of the fifth level. After reaching the fifth level, he saw five very tall and burly things. They all held tridents in their hands as they stood in the dark. They all looked like peak Rank 6 Azure Sky Dragon Men. ¡°I knew it would be like this.¡± Just as he had thought, the monsters in the fifth level should be a few Azure Sky Dragon Men. Sure enough, there were five of them. If it was before Little Nine and Rose evolved, he would have to think carefully about how to fight. But now, it was not so troublesome. Ye Fan was thinking. Anissa and Skeleton had already started fighting. The battle reached its climax at lightning speed. The two sides fought each other. Chapter 147 - 147 How Did You Do It? 147 How Did You Do It? Outside the Dragon Bone. At some point, the scene became exceptionally quiet. Moreover, it was too quiet. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the dragon head. They looked at the light of the fourth level, their faces filled with doubt. Ye Fan¡¯s clearing speed was too terrifying. They all felt that it wasn¡¯t real. This speed was a little scary. Because it had only been less than ten minutes since the fourth level lit up. In such a short period of time, he passed three levels in a row. It was very surprising. When everyone passed the first and second levels, they spent more than ten minutes on each level. ¡°I wonder how many minutes it will take for him to pass the fourth stage.¡± Everyone had the same thought. But at this moment. However, the light of the fourth level was extinguished. Moreover, the fifth level immediately lit up. Everyone was dumbfounded. Had he passed the fourth level in the blink of an eye? Many people here had challenged the fourth level. They knew very well how difficult the fourth level was. Not only had Ye Fan passed such a difficult level, but he had also passed it in such a short period of time. It was as if he had walked past it without stopping. ¡°This speed is too shocking.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the guarding monster see him? Did he walk over directly?¡± ¡°How is this possible? That¡¯s the Dragon Bone.¡± ¡°This is too powerful. I didn¡¯t expect Ye Fan to look so young. His strength is incomparably powerful.¡± ¡°Even Zhou He and Xu Zheng can¡¯t compare to him.¡± Discussions sounded. At this moment, Zhou He and Xu Zheng¡¯s faces were dark. Especially the complicated expression on Xu Zheng¡¯s face. Ye Fan was a few years younger than him. His record had been tied so quickly. He had been recognized as a genius since he was young. This was extremely unacceptable to him. Wait a minute! This was not a tie! Although they had both reached the fifth level, Ye Fan¡¯s speed was much faster than his. Although it was only a few minutes faster, these few minutes were enough to show how far apart the two of them were in terms of strength. Thinking of this, Xu Zheng was depressed. ¡°Could it be that he can still pass the fifth level?¡± This thought popped up in his mind. But not long after, he rejected this idea. This was because there were five Level 6 guardian monsters in the fifth level. Among these five, one was at the peak of Rank 6 and had the strength of a Rank 7. It was very troublesome. Otherwise, he would not have lost in the fifth level. If one wanted to pass this test, one would need at least six pets that had already evolved to the sixth rank. Moreover, at least one of them had to be at the peak of Rank 6. Only then would he have a chance to pass. Looking at Ye Fan¡¯s age, he was probably not even twenty years old. He was so small. How could he have the ability to nurture the pets to Rank 6? Xu Zheng¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts. Not far away, Xue Yong was also incomparably shocked. He could not recover from his shock. He had never imagined that Ye Fan would actually be able to reach the fifth level. Ye Fan¡¯s current results were far beyond his expectations. At first, he had thought that Ye Fan would probably only be able to reach the fourth level. Moreover, it was impossible to pass the fourth level. However, the current situation shocked him. Ye Fan¡¯s journey was very fast and unobstructed. He arrived at the fifth level. The speed at which he cleared the level was shocking. ¡°Compared to the league at that time, it¡¯s simply heaven and earth.¡± Xue Yong¡¯s heart was filled with doubts. Standing at the side, Qin Hao was even more puzzled. It was as if he was in a daze. He stood rooted to the ground, unable to make a sound. Because the current situation was really giving him a lot of pressure. At this moment. Everyone sighed softly. Because the light in the fifth level was actually extinguished. Half a minute later. The sixth level did not light up, and there was no movement at the entrance. Everyone didn¡¯t know the situation and looked at each other. ¡°What¡¯s going on now?¡± ¡°Did he clear the level? Or did he fail?¡± ¡°The sixth level hasn¡¯t lit up, and he hasn¡¯t come out. It¡¯s hard to say if he failed or cleared it.¡± ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s exchanging items?¡± ¡°That¡¯s really possible.¡± Everyone suddenly thought of this. Because they were very concerned about whether Ye Fan would pass or lose, they had actually forgotten that he could exchange for treasures after every challenge. It seemed that Ye Fan had failed. Therefore, he was currently exchanging for items. Xu Zheng also heaved a sigh of relief. He had not passed the level either. How could the other party pass? Fortunately, he had saved his face. Zhou He also smiled. Then the Dragon Bone¡¯s record today was still his. The old man beside him also nodded calmly. ¡°As expected, Young Master is stronger.¡± ¡°Almost all the young people under the age of 25 in the two cities have gone to the Dragon Bone. Only Young Master has the best results and you¡¯re the strongest among the young people.¡± The corners of Zhou He¡¯s mouth curled up, and he looked smug. Just as he was feeling smug¡­ The sixth level suddenly lit up, and the light was very dazzling. The smile on Zhou He¡¯s face froze, and his eyes were dull. The others were the same. At that moment. The scene became lively again. ¡°He passed the fifth level?¡± ¡°He actually passed the fifth level and reached the sixth level.¡± ¡°How did he do it?¡± ¡°This is too amazing.¡± Everyone discussed endlessly in shock. No one expected the young man they were talking about to pass the fifth level so smoothly. Xu Zheng was also stunned. He looked at the light of the sixth level in shock. He couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. Ye Fan had actually surpassed his record, and he was even so much faster than him. Was this an illusion? Zhou He¡¯s face was also very pale. Ye Fan had reached the sixth level, which was equivalent to breaking his record. If the man went up again, he, the person who had set the record, would lose his title. Zhou He¡¯s reaction was seen by the old man. He comforted him calmly. ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°There are five peak Rank 6 experts in the sixth level. It¡¯s definitely impossible for that brat to defeat them.¡± Ordinary sixth-rank Beast Tamers could train their pets to the sixth rank, but none of them could reach the peak. They were usually low-level or intermediate-level. High-level pets were usually very rare. The chances of the people present passing the sixth level were equivalent to zero. Zhou He had the support of a large family and resources. He could raise his pets to the peak. The awakening of pets would increase their combat strength. This way, he would have the qualifications to fight five Azure Sky Dragon Men. Even so, Zhou He lost more than once in the sixth level. He could not pass it now. It was obvious that this level was very difficult. If even Zhou He was like this, there was no need to say anything about the others. But the uncle didn¡¯t think that Ye Fan was stronger than Zhou He. Seeing Zhou He¡¯s grave expression, he comforted him. ¡°Young master, don¡¯t worry. I just heard that that young man¡¯s name is Ye Fan. He comes from an ordinary family that¡¯s never heard of.¡± ¡°Ordinary family?¡± Zhou He widened his eyes in disbelief. He had thought that Ye Fan was also from an aristocratic family or that he had a faction behind him. He did not expect him to be an ordinary person! Because if it was as he had guessed, it wouldn¡¯t be strange for Ye Fan to have such powerful strength. But he was gravely mistaken. Ye Fan didn¡¯t have any extraordinary background. Without the support of his backing or family, the fact that he could rise meant that it was the result of his cultivation. His aptitude and talent were impeccable! It was too unbelievable! It took a long time for Zhou He to react. His expression recovered a little and he calmed down. Knowing that Ye Fan had an ordinary background, he wasn¡¯t too worried. This was because without a family and backing, it was impossible for ordinary people to reach the end. They would soon welcome the end. Not to mention anything else, ordinary people could only get a limited amount of materials. They couldn¡¯t give their pets what they needed to upgrade, and their pets couldn¡¯t improve at all. Thinking of this, he understood and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I finally know why he stayed in the fifth level for so long.¡± ¡°Because the difficulty of the fifth level is too high for him, causing him to lose a lot of energy. That¡¯s why it¡¯s like this.¡± The old man felt that his guess was right, so he wanted to agree. Unexpectedly, surprised voices sounded around him again. As soon as the old man turned around, he was so frightened that he almost lost his balance. It was the seventh level that was glowing!! Seeing this, he could no longer remain calm. He was shocked and speechless. Zhou He was the same. He was dumbfounded. That guy had actually passed the sixth level!! How did he do it?! Chapter 148 - 148 Joining the Battle 148 Joining the Battle Zhou He did not believe it no matter what. Ye Fan was only twenty years old, but he had already passed the sixth level. In the sixth level, there were a total of five Rank-6 monsters! How did he do it?! Similarly, the old man was stunned and could not say anything to comfort him. This was the reality. They had no choice but to believe it. Ye Fan smoothly passed the sixth trial and reached the seventh. He broke the record, and Zhou He was no longer at the front. Whether it was the speed at which they cleared the level or the number of levels they cleared, Ye Fan was shocking. Xue Yong was as shocked as everyone else. That was the sixth level! Ye Fan seemed to refresh his understanding over and over again. Until now, no one had been able to pass the sixth level! Whether it was the trump card of the military or the elites nurtured by the aristocratic families, they were all defeated in the sixth level without exception. Everyone had always thought that the sixth level required far more power than the sixth rank. Probably only Rank-7 could pass. However, a 25-year-old seventh-rank Beast Tamer was too rare. Until now, no one had been able to break through. They couldn¡¯t find one in either city. Everyone felt that this was impossible, but Ye Fan had done it. How could everyone not be shocked? At this moment. Everyone was stunned. Roar! The roar of a dragon came from the hall of the sixth level. The Duke of Hellfire rode on his horse and held a spear, directly dealing with the two Azure Sky Dragon Men. The others were all blocked. Twenty meters around him was surrounded by flames. The two Azure Sky Dragon Men were burned by the flames, and the scales on their bodies were blackened. On the other side. Anissa spread her five-meter-long blood wings. As her wings flapped, her speed reached the limit. Her entire body seemed to have teleported, making it impossible to see her clearly. One could only see the blood shadow she left behind. The Azure Sky Dragon Men were in a very sorry state. Because they were in the darkness, she directly activated her ultimate skill and increased her combat strength. Skeleton and Little Nine each had a Azure Sky Dragon Man. Skeleton¡¯s level was lower than other pets, but it was stronger. With Soul¡¯s Death and teleportation, the Azure Sky Dragon Man was beaten until it crawled and roared. Not long after, it fell to the ground with serious injuries. Among the Battle Pets, Little Nine had the easiest time. She threw out the barrier talismans to protect Ye Fan and herself. Then, she released a technique that bombarded the Azure Sky Dragon Men until they fled in all directions. It was not easy for the Azure Sky Dragon Men to resist these skills and spend a lot of effort to break the barrier. However, with a flash of light, a new barrier appeared. The Azure Sky Dragon Men roared in grief and indignation. No matter what they did, they could not change reality. Not long after. The Azure Sky Dragon Men were exhausted to death. At this moment, the other pets¡¯ battles were over. Ye Fan had been watching the entire time. Their combat coordination was not bad. They had always been crushing the other party. The Azure Sky Dragon Man was very powerful, but the evolved Anissa and the others¡¯ combat strength had also greatly increased. Any one of them could fight a Rank-7. There was also Rose, who was a support. She did not care about mere Azure Sky Dragon Men at all. His guess was right. The reward for the sixth level was six Dragon Soul Pearls and 1,500 evolution points. After that, he continued to challenge and walked up the stairs of the seventh level. The venue of the seventh level was much wider than before. There were fewer monsters in the hall than before. Because there was only one. Its figure was very similar to the Azure Sky Dragon Men. It was even bigger, two meters tall, and very burly. On the surface, there was a layer of blue explosive patterns that emitted a terrifying and oppressive aura. From ten meters away, Ye Fan could still feel this pressure. He couldn¡¯t help but frown. He opened the system and investigated the monster in front of him. Sola, low-level Rank-7. Rank-7 dragon-type monster. Up until now, Ye Fan had only seen two Rank-7 monsters. Other than Sola, who was in front of him, he had met a giant demon in the Hand of the Abyss. The Giant Demon was an intermediate Rank 7. It was slightly stronger than Sola. However, in terms of combat strength alone, the dragon-type Sola should be stronger than the giant demon. Sizzle¡­ The sound of lightning striking the air caused Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts to come back to reality. After discovering Ye Fan and the others, Sola brandished her trident and charged over. The trident shot out a bolt of lightning as fast as an arrow. There was no need for Ye Fan to give the order. The skeleton immediately went up and blocked the lightning. Crackle! Blue lightning struck the skeleton, and the demonic aura on the skeleton¡¯s surface was shattered. Electricity spread throughout its body. The skeleton felt its body tremble, but it seemed to be fine. It continued to rush forward, wanting to kill Sola. Sola was stunned when he saw the other party¡¯s reaction. A shocking light flashed in his golden pupils. He was very curious about the skeleton that was running towards him because there was no reaction after his lightning attack hit it. He did not know that the skeleton had lightning resistance. It could be immune to most of the damage of the lightning elements, and the remaining portion could be completely offset by the Diamond Bone. Not long after. Anissa and the others also joined the war. They attacked this Rank 7 together. Previously, when they were fighting the Giant Demon, Anissa and the others did not have the ability to fight it. In the end, it was Ye Fan who dealt with it. However, things were different now. Their combat strength had increased greatly. There was also Rose, who was a capable support. One side was strengthened and the other was weakened at the same time. Under such a war of attrition, Sola was suppressed. Ye Fan didn¡¯t attack. He just quietly watched from the side. Because there were still two levels, he didn¡¯t want to waste his energy here. He wanted to save his soul power for the last. Because this Rank 7 Sola was no match for Anissa and the others. Ten minutes later, the battle was just as Ye Fan had thought. It ended with a wail. Sola fell to the ground, seriously injured and dead. The reward was 2,000 evolution points and seven Dragon Soul Pearls. Up until now, Ye Fan¡¯s evolution points had already surpassed 10,000. More than 11,000 points. ¡°Not bad.¡± Ye Fan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. After resting for a while, the Battle Pets recovered their strength. Then, Ye Fan brought the Battle Pets to the next level. If not for the fact that he could not stay on the spot for long after clearing the level, he would have wanted to rest longer until everyone recovered before going to the next level. At the eighth level. The area was much wider than the previous level. A huge white dragon the size of a small mountain circled here. It had a slender neck, beautiful curves, and a muscular figure. Its snow-white wings were densely covered with dragon scales, and its claws were extremely sharp, emitting a cold light under the moonlight. This time, the dragon was like an extremely exquisite carving, making people feel extremely surprised. After hearing the footsteps, the dragon woke up and opened its eyes to look at Ye Fan and the others. The dragon¡¯s eyes were ice-cold. In the next second. An extremely terrifying pressure descended on Ye Fan and the others. At the same time, it filled the hall. The atmosphere was now heavy. Ye Fan withdrew his expression and carefully looked at the Giant Dragon¡¯s information. The Azure Sky Dragon was a high-level Rank-7. ¡°High-level, that¡¯s not easy to fight.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Then, he directly wrapped the Soul Lock around the dragon. The dragon did not expect these people to quickly attack before it did. Therefore, before it could dodge, it was restrained by the Soul Lock on the spot. The dragon roared. The roar was very loud. Its huge body struggled with all its might, but the Soul Lock was made of soul power and could not be broken at all. Now. Anissa rushed over with Little Nine and the others. ¡°Fox Seal!¡± Little Nine shouted. Then, several talismans were stuck to the dragon¡¯s body with the power of the restriction. In the next second. The talisman emitted a light that was very dazzling. Until the explosion. There was a very loud explosion. The light wave hit the dragon like a tsunami. Smoke and dust spread in the air, mixed with the roar of a dragon. The dust had yet to dissipate. Anissa and the others rushed forward and activated their skills to attack the Dragon. At this moment. Rose was also very powerful. She immediately imposed the effect of increasing the combat strength of her teammates. At the same time, she weakened the Azure Sky Dragon¡¯s original combat strength. Not long after, the battle reached its climax. Ye Fan didn¡¯t continue to watch. Instead, he attacked in time. He saw an opportunity to release his soul power and soul lock to join the battle of the pets. Chapter 149 - 149 Unimaginable 149 Unimaginable Outside the Dragon Bone. Everyone saw that the seventh level on the dragon¡¯s head was glowing. A long time later. Only then did someone speak, breaking the silence. !! ¡°Does anyone here know what the seventh level looks like?¡± Although no one knew, everyone was very puzzled by this question. Because no one present had gone to the seventh level, they didn¡¯t know what it was like inside. Qin Hao stood there in a daze. His eyes were dull, and he felt his mind go blank. How could he have imagined that Ye Fan would have such powerful strength to be able to reach the seventh level? Although he had never been to the Dragon Bone, he knew very well how difficult the first six tests of the Dragon Bone were. He could only reach the fourth level with all his strength. But the time Ye Fan had taken to reach the seventh level and the current pace of breaking through was simply inconceivable. This also directly showed how big the gap between the two of them was. At this time, Qin Hao didn¡¯t want to compare himself to Ye Fan. He had originally felt that the difference wasn¡¯t too great, so he had been unwilling and jealous of Ye Fan. But now, he felt that the distance between the two of them was ridiculous, so he was not in the mood to think about that. Now, he could only look up to the other party. Thinking how he had felt that sooner or later he would surpass Ye Fan, he felt that this idea was very funny. How could someone like him surpass the genius Ye Fan? ¡°There are five Rank-6 monsters in the sixth level. Then, can the seventh level be Rank-7 monsters?¡± ¡°I think so. Moreover, it¡¯s a dragon.¡± ¡°The combat power of dragons is a bit higher than that of ordinary pets!¡± ¡°Ye Fan probably won¡¯t be able to pass.¡± ¡°I also don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible, because Ye Fan is only at the sixth rank. No matter how powerful he is, he can¡¯t cross ranks and fight monsters above his level!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It shouldn¡¯t be long before he comes out.¡± Everyone felt that it made sense. Even if he hadn¡¯t passed this stage, Ye Fan had still set a record. He was the first Beast Tamer to reach the seventh level of the Dragon Bone. He had completely surpassed people like Zhou He and Xu Zheng, who were many years older than him. Xu Zheng felt a little better now. When Ye Fan went to the sixth level, his expression was extremely unsightly. But after Ye Fan reached the seventh level, his originally excited heart seemed to have calmed down. It was as if¡­ The greater the gap, the easier it was for people to give up. Compared to Xu Zheng, who was watching the show, Zhou He¡¯s expression was dark and cold. Originally, the limelight should have been his, but now it had suddenly been snatched away by Ye Fan. Anyone would feel unhappy. Moreover, this was a record that he had a hard time keeping. Zhou He¡¯s expression kept changing. But at this moment, the seventh level was extinguished. Immediately after, the eighth level lit up. That was the eighth level. The scene seemed to have paused. Everyone looked at the dragon head in disbelief. Ye Fan had actually passed the seventh level. The scene was very strange. After a few seconds of silence, it became noisy again. ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too heaven-defying? No matter how I look at it, the so-called demonic creatures in the seventh level should be at the seventh rank. Ye Fan is only at the sixth rank. How did he clear it?¡± ¡°But this light isn¡¯t fake.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too scary.¡± No one had thought that Ye Fan would be able to pass all the way to the seventh level. Moreover, after clearing the seventh level, the process of reaching the eighth level was very short. It felt like he was sprinting. Just who was this Ye Fan? The Beast Tamers of the two cities were all surprised and puzzled. Could it be that Ye Fan wasn¡¯t an ordinary person, but a mysterious person whose information had been sealed? Could it be that there was a mysterious organization behind him? Otherwise, it would be unbelievable for an ordinary Beast Tamer like him to have such achievements. Otherwise, Ye Fan¡¯s aptitude really exceeded that of ordinary people. Otherwise, if he wanted to pass the seventh level, he had to have the ability to defeat a Rank-7. The man had such powerful combat strength at the age of 20. Many of the people present were elites among elites. They usually called themselves elites, but now, they felt ashamed. Qin Hao was still in a daze. Xue Yong was also dumbfounded and was instantly speechless. At this moment. In a room a hundred meters away from the square. Liang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, as if something unbelievable had happened. He stared intently in the direction of the Dragon Bone. ¡°The eighth level! Someone actually reached the eighth level.¡± Liang Yun was very surprised. After a few seconds of silence, he shouted for the guards. When the people outside heard the summons, they immediately broke in. After the soldier entered the house. ¡°What can I do for you, General?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the person who reached the eighth level?¡± The soldier immediately replied. ¡°It¡¯s Ye Fan from Chaohai City.¡± ¡°Ye Fan.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s name wasn¡¯t familiar to him. There was no such person in the aristocratic families or adventure organizations. He had been guarding here for the past few months and did not know what had happened in the city. Otherwise, he would have heard of this name long ago. The soldier seemed to understand something. Liang Yun, who had always claimed to be experienced, actually revealed such a shocked expression. The King of Freshmen of the West Eagle Academy. The champion of the league. He could destroy an abyssal stronghold alone. A sixth-rank Beast Tamer who was not even twenty years old. Every deed was incomparably shocking. Liang Yun felt that he had never heard of such a person. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have the support of his family. For him to be able to reach this point, it means that his aptitude isn¡¯t bad, and it¡¯s very shocking.¡± Liang Yun sighed. Just as he finished speaking, he looked through the window at the dragon head in the distance. The light of the eighth level was very clear. ¡­ Outside the Dragon Bone, everyone was shocked. An intense battle was taking place inside the Dragon Bone. Ye Fan led his five Battle Pets to fight the Azure Sky Dragon to the death. Not only was it a high-level Rank-7, but it was also a dragon. Its combat strength was on a completely different level from the giant demon. If the five pets attacked, they probably wouldn¡¯t be as strong as the other party. But with Ye Fan, their combat strength would be different. When Ye Fan was still at the fifth rank, he could easily use soul arts to kill the giant demon. Now that he had advanced to Rank 6, his strength had increased to another level. His combat strength was equivalent to Rank-7 to begin with. Thus, every time the dragon wanted to counterattack, Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Lock would arrive as scheduled, firmly imprisoning it. Then, coupled with the violent soul power attack, the dragon was filled with grief and indignation as it roared. Ye Fan had used almost half of his energy, and the dragon was about to die. The skeleton used a battle move. The huge wind and waves swallowed the mountain-like body of the dragon and shattered it. When the wind and waves disappeared, the outer parts of the dragon¡¯s body were severely injured. There was no good skin left. It fell heavily to the ground in a bloody mess, no longer breathing. After that, he obtained 2,500 evolution points and eight Dragon Soul Pearls. ¡°This stage is really difficult.¡± Little Nine heaved a sigh of relief. Because this battle was really difficult. ¡°If Master hadn¡¯t taken action in time, we would definitely have lost.¡± Anissa thought so too. Because in battle, Ye Fan played a crucial role. He was stronger than all the other pets combined. It was very rare among Beast Tamers. ¡°What to do next?¡± The vampire looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan knew what she wanted to say, and his expression also became a bit serious. This level. It wasn¡¯t easy for them to win. They had to use all their strength to kill the other party. In that case, the things they encountered in the next level should be even more terrifying than this dragon. How should they deal with it then? ¡°I originally wanted to evolve after the skeleton¡¯s growth was maxed out. I can¡¯t wait anymore.¡± Ye Fan glanced at the skeleton. Actually, it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have any trump cards. Previously, in the Tower of Glory, the banshee had given him a Summoning Card that could summon Irene¡¯s clone to fight, but it was only a projection. Still, it was said that this projection also had the combat strength of Rank-7. It was very powerful. However, Ye Fan had asked around beforehand. There was no way to use external power inside the Dragon Bone. This included projections. Otherwise, with Zhou He and Xu Zheng¡¯s backgrounds, they would definitely have countless powerful treasures. They would have been able to clear the level long ago. There was no need to stay here for so long. Thinking of this, Ye Fan dispelled this thought and summoned the system. Just now, the skeleton had killed a dragon above its level. Its growth had increased greatly. Its growth now was a total of 50%. As long as he spent more than 300 evolution points, its growth would be maxed out. Ye Fan directly evolved it. Then, the system interface changed. Name: Skeleton Nature: Undead Level: Peak of Rank 6 Its growth was zero, and the rest was the same as before. However, after the skeleton evolved, because it was still at the peak of Rank 6, its skills were the same as before. Then, he looked at the new talent. Chapter 150 - 150 Three Attributes 150 Three Attributes Armored Skeleton, an advanced talent that can increase defense and resistance. Unlocking this requires 500 evolution points. This was the advanced version of the innate Diamond Bone. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up and he directly clicked to unlock it. The skeleton¡¯s combat strength was incomparably powerful. The greatest credit was the Diamond Bone. Among pets of the same level, no one could break its defense. Even if there was, it could only cause some very weak injuries. With Life Absorption, the healing speed of these wounds was simply too fast. Now that this talent had advanced, its combat strength would improve by leaps and bounds. Among pets of the same level, its defense was the highest. The other monsters would despair when they saw it. Ye Fan was overjoyed. He then looked at the other skills. Advanced Saber Technique, an intermediate advanced skill, could increase the skill to another level. It required 300 evolution points. Death Gaze was a combination of demonic energy and the power of the soul. It could cause mental damage to specified things and could also trigger the intimidation effect. The strength of the effect depended on the other party¡¯s combat strength. If the difference in levels between the two sides exceeded a realm, the enemy would definitely die. The controller could also use this skill again. It required 500 points to unlock. ¡°They¡¯re both quite practical!¡± Ye Fan was very satisfied. These two skills could produce very powerful effects. Especially if they were against targets below the peak of Rank 5, they would nail them one by one. There was no doubt about how powerful they were. After the skeleton evolved, it became the strongest pet. Ye Fan turned to look at the waiting Battle Pets. The skeleton was at the peak of Rank 6, and the others were all high-level Rank 6. Their combat strength was not low at all. With such a lineup, against a high-level Rank-7 monster, coupled with Ye Fan, even if the other party was at the peak of the Rank-7, they still had the strength to contend against them. ¡°If there are any accidents, we¡¯ll upgrade the soul technique.¡± Ye Fan muttered to himself. Because he had more than 10,000 evolution points now, he could increase all three of his soul arts. ¡°Since we¡¯re here, let¡¯s finish what we started.¡± Ye Fan quickly had an idea. He brought his Battle Pets to continue on to the ninth level. ¡­ Time passed quickly. The light of the eighth level had no intention of extinguishing. Seeing this situation, everyone¡¯s discussion became more and more lively. Because if the light quickly went out, That could only mean that the people in the level had lost. The longer it took, the more it meant that the people inside were in battle, and both sides were evenly matched. Then, the chances of passing would be higher. Everyone began to wonder if Ye Fan would really be able to pass the eighth level. They all discussed endlessly. ¡°That¡¯s the eighth level. Can he really pass it?¡± ¡°What if he can?¡± ¡°How can there be such a possibility? The monsters in the eighth level must be Rank-7. Their level can¡¯t be too low.¡± ¡°No one knows what¡¯s inside, but Ye Fan¡¯s strength is outstanding. This is definitely not wrong.¡± In the end, no one knew who said it, but everyone agreed. Everyone knew very well about the sixth level. There were six peak Rank 6 monsters. If this continued, the difficulty of the seventh level was obvious. It really made one¡¯s scalp tingle. Not only had Ye Fan passed, but his speed was also shocking. It was very unbelievable. At this moment, the eighth level was extinguished. Everyone watched this change intently. Then. Before anyone could react, the ninth level lit up again. The eighth level was over so quickly? Everyone had nothing to say. The entire venue was silent. The center of the square was very quiet. There was not even a sound of shock. No one could react. Everyone looked at the light on the dragon¡¯s head in a daze. The shock on their faces explained everything. He had actually reached the ninth level. This was the last level. Before this happened, no one would have thought that someone would reach the ninth level. There were many people challenging the Dragon Bone. Up until now, there had only been six levels at most. Everyone had always regarded the seventh level as the peak. If someone passed the sixth level and reached the seventh level, that person would definitely be very outstanding. But now, they actually watched helplessly as someone reached the ninth level. Compared to the sixth and seventh levels, the difference was like heaven and earth. Liang Yun, who was far away in the room, also saw it and her eyes widened. He was in charge of Chaohai City here. He knew a lot about the Dragon Bone, more than anyone else. He was very clear that the guardian monsters after the seventh level were all Rank-7. It was precisely because of this that when he saw this scene, he was very shocked. ¡°This Beast Tamer is only at the sixth rank, right? How can he defeat a monster at the seventh rank? His strength is immeasurable.¡± ¡°It means that he¡¯s a true genius.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but sigh, his eyes filled with amazement. However, there were also some questions. Why didn¡¯t such a talent join the military? Could it be that the people from the Special Administrative Bureau did not notice? That wasn¡¯t right. How could Hu Yan let go of such an outstanding person? With the strength Ye Fan had displayed today, as well as his talent, if they could nurture him, he would definitely be able to become a peak Rank-9 expert in the future. If anyone let go of such a genius just like that, they would be crazy. Liang Yun felt that he did not understand. After thinking for a while, he went to look for Hu Yan. At this moment. Everyone reacted and the lively discussion sounded again. ¡°Just who is this Ye Fan? He actually reached the ninth level.¡± ¡°Did we see wrongly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you saw wrongly, but there are so many people!¡± ¡°Then he¡¯s too strong. Just what kind of background does Ye Fan have?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but this person is powerful.¡± Everyone was excited to witness this miracle. Up until now, the highest record for the Dragon Bone was only the seventh level. Now, someone had reached the ninth level, leaving the young people of both cities behind. Was there any difference between this and a miracle? If word got out about what happened today, they would definitely not believe it. Qin Hao and Xue Yong were like statues as they stood on the spot and looked into the distance without moving, as if they were stunned. Zhou He¡¯s face was filled with black lines. Everyone continued to discuss. ¡°This Dragon Bone has been passed down since ancient times. You can obtain the inheritance if you clear all the levels. I wonder if this information is true.¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a good thing? If Ye Fan passes, won¡¯t everyone be envious?¡± ¡°How can he clear it so easily!¡± ¡°It¡¯s definitely not that simple to be related to an ancient inheritance. Just because he can come this far doesn¡¯t mean that he can pass.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see!¡± There were all kinds of things, but Zhou He¡¯s expression was getting uglier and uglier. There was an ancient inheritance in the Dragon Bone. He had also heard of this information. Because he had a family behind him, he knew what ordinary people knew and what ordinary people did not. The various families had long investigated this matter and felt that it was very likely not a rumor. The first Beast Tamer who passed the nine levels could inherit ancient treasures. The scale of the Dragon Bone was very large, and the test was also very difficult. From this, it could be seen that this ancient inheritance was definitely quite important. Zhou He was a little envious. He knew that it was impossible for him to pass the ninth level, but as long as the inheritance was there, he would retain a trace of hope. But at this moment. The inheritance was about to be taken away by someone else. How could he accept this fact? He looked very confused and flustered. ¡°Uncle Feng, go investigate Ye Fan. I want the most detailed information.¡± He only knew where Ye Fan came from and what school he was in. He didn¡¯t know anything else. The old man nodded and immediately retreated to the back. He took out his phone and called someone to investigate. Zhou He continued to look at the dragon head. ¡­ The ninth level of the Dragon Bone. The hall was very spacious, but it was also very dark. There was a chilling aura that seemed to be hidden somewhere in the darkness. Just now, when she stepped into the hall of the ninth level, Little Nine was very nervous and careful. ¡°Master, let¡¯s be careful. I sense danger approaching.¡± Ye Fan nodded, indifferently looking ahead. He moved forward. Light suddenly appeared in the darkness. A very huge golden dragon appeared in front of him. It was so huge that it could fill half the hall. Its head could reach the ceiling with a casual move. Its dragon might spread to every inch of the room. Little Nine and Anissa frowned with heavy expressions. Rose also hid on Ye Fan¡¯s body, nervously looking ahead. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm as he sized up this huge dragon from top to bottom. The dragon was translucent and looked very intangible. Its shape and appearance outside were indescribably similar to the Azure Sky Dragon just now. But this one was larger, and its aura was more oppressive. The system quickly displayed the information of the dragon. This was a trace of the Azure Sky Dragon King¡¯s remnant soul. At the peak of Rank 7, it had the three attributes of undead, wind, and lightning. Chapter 151 - 151 Worth It 151 Worth It ¡°Three attributes!¡± Surprise appeared on Ye Fan¡¯s face. Under normal circumstances, monsters with multiple attributes were stronger than single-attribute monsters. Moreover, the more attributes a monster had, the stronger it would be. Especially the dragon in front of him. Its level was only at the peak of Rank 7, but its true strength was comparable to Rank 8. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯ll be difficult to get another Rank-8.¡± Ye Fan sighed. If it really was the eighth rank, there was no need for him to continue fighting. The white dragon soul indifferently looked down at Ye Fan. There was no reaction to Ye Fan¡¯s words. However, the energy fluctuations on his body became stronger. It was as if it would explode at any moment and eat Ye Fan in one bite. Without waiting for Ye Fan to give the order, Anissa and Little Nine attacked, directly running towards the Dragon Soul. The vampire girl stretched out her hand. A very complicated array appeared in her palm with her slender fingers. Then, there was a crackling sound. More than ten bolts of lightning were summoned from the array and rushed towards the Dragon Soul. ¡°The Queen¡¯s Nine-Tailed Whip.¡± This was lightning-element black magic. The dragon soul watched all of this indifferently. Then, it raised its dragon claw and swung it with all its might. Electricity also appeared in the air, sweeping towards them like a scythe. This bolt of lightning canceled out Anissa¡¯s. The spirit talisman that Little Nine had thrown out took the opportunity to invade. The moment it touched the dragon soul, it emitted a dazzling light. This was her best skill. Fox Seal! The violent explosion fluctuated on the surface of the dragon soul, and the light weakened slightly. ¡°This thing¡¯s defense is so strong.¡± Little Nine stuck out its tongue and praised. Her skill was an energy type, not a physical attack. Therefore, logically speaking, it should be able to cause damage to souls. However, from the looks of it, the damage was too low. ¡°Rose!¡± Ye Fan called out. The Flower Sprite immediately reacted and used ¡°Misfortune¡± on the dragon soul. The black pollen landed on the dragon soul¡¯s head, infecting its huge body with an inauspicious aura. The surrounding pressure was clearly weaker. The effect wasn¡¯t bad. Ye Fan was very satisfied. After evolution, Rose¡¯s support had indeed greatly increased. Not only could she enhance teammates, but she could also weaken the enemy. The effect was much more obvious than before. The skeleton and the Duke also joined the siege. Ye Fan used a soul technique to support them as he opened the system interface. The Dragon Soul came from souls. It did not have an ability in the soul aspect. There were only two attributes in battle: Lightning and Wind. Ye Fan directly unlocked the pertinent resistance talents of Anissa, Skeleton, and the Duke. The skeleton had lightning resistance to begin with. Ye Fan directly advanced it to the high level. Then, he unlocked wind element resistance and strengthened it to the highest level. The unlocking and strengthening of Anissa and the Duke had consumed more than 5,000 evolution points. At this moment, all three pets had the resistance of lightning and wind. The war was much easier than before. The three pets could now ignore a large portion of the dragon soul¡¯s attacks on them. They dodged those powerful skills. The other pets were in charge of continuing to attack fiercely. Not long after. Ye Fan had grasped the rhythm of the battle and had the upper hand. ¡°This isn¡¯t enough!¡± He looked at his evolution points. There were still more than 7,000 points. Without any hesitation, he threw all his evolution points into the Soul Power Impact. His soul technique level increased rapidly. From Level 10, it instantly reached Level 13. He only stopped when his evolution points were not enough to level it up again. Looking at the dragon soul, he slowly stretched out his hand and faced it with his palm. The next moment. The soul power that he had condensed to the extreme emerged from his palm and formed a violent wind in the air. This extremely powerful hurricane directly attacked the Dragon Soul. Rumble! It was like a cannon that exploded on the dragon soul¡¯s body, forming a very large pit. It cried bitterly. Following that, its entire body felt like boiling water, and intense rolling pain assaulted him. The phantom of the dragon soul gradually became transparent. It was only one move, but it had already caused so much damage, which was even more damage than the other four pets combined. So, Level 13 soul power was extremely powerful, far beyond Ye Fan¡¯s expectations. Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately launched another attack. His soul power was like raindrops as it forcefully attacked the Dragon Soul¡¯s body. After advancing to Rank 6, his soul power had reached a total of 15,000. At the eighth level, he had consumed about half of it. Other than the protective power he wanted to keep for himself, he gathered all his strength to attack the dragon soul. When he stopped, the dragon soul was almost transparent, and the white light was gone. A few minutes later. The dragon soul wailed and was turned into ashes by the powerful attacks of the pets. ¡°Finally!¡± Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief. Such a battle could only be considered dangerous. Moreover, he had to consume more than ten thousand evolution points to have such an outcome. However, it was not a waste to use all these evolution points on his pets and himself. Still, the price he had to pay was not small. Not long after. After completing the mission, 3,000 evolution points were directly transferred to his account. At this moment. The Platinum Dragon that would appear after he passed every level arrived. After giving the reward of the nine Dragon Soul Pearls to Ye Fan, he spoke again. ¡°Congratulations, young man. You¡¯ve passed all the levels.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pass down my ability to you. Are you willing to accept it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Fan didn¡¯t hesitate at all to agree. After obtaining the answer, the Dragon Soul disappeared, leaving behind two golden dots. One rushed into Ye Fan¡¯s forehead and then disappeared. The other turned into a pearl and landed in Ye Fan¡¯s hand. Ye Fan had sensed the golden light that had flown into his body just now, but there was nothing unusual about it. He opened the interface and realized something different. Name: Ye Fan Level: Rank 6 Soul Power: 1,400/25,000 Soul Technique: Soul Guardian Level 13, Soul Lock Level 10, Soul Power Assault Level 10, Dragon Transformation The upper limit of Soul Power had actually increased by 10,000 points. Other than this, there was also the soul technique of the Dragon Transformation. Ye Fan stared at these two words, and then information about the Dragon Transformation appeared in his mind. This was a skill that could turn one into a Dragon King. After becoming a Dragon King, one could also have the ability of a Dragon King. Their level would be one level higher than the user¡¯s original level. In other words. If Ye Fan used this skill, he could transform into a peak Rank-7 Dragon King. ¡°This skill is too awesome.¡± Thinking of the Dragon King¡¯s battle power, Ye Fan was shocked. He had surpassed his pets so much. His path was really smooth. The current Ye Fan was even stronger than the fusion of five Battle Pets. ¡°But this skill also consumes a lot of soul power.¡± After transforming into a Dragon King, it would consume 100 Soul Power every second, just like the Soul Technique. Ye Fan¡¯s current soul power could only last for 250 seconds in his Dragon King form. It was just a little more than four minutes. It was barely enough to end a battle. ¡°No matter how I look at it, I¡¯ve profited!¡± Ye Fan sighed slightly, his gaze shifting to the pearl in his hand. He recognized the Sealing Bead. Name: Azure Sky Dragon King (Young) Attributes: Lightning, Wind Level: Peak Rank 6 Growth Progress: 0 Talents: Dragon Aura, Night Vision, Advanced Resistance, Advanced Lightning Element Resistance, Advanced Wind Element Resistance, Armor, Physique, and Life Skills: Dragon Breath, Form, Wind Blade, Soul Assimilation, Lightning, Thunder Domain Evolution Path: Original path. The next stage is adulthood, and the upper limit is king-level. The information appeared in front of Ye Fan in great detail. After Ye Fan read it, his eyes widened. ¡°This is really too awesome.¡± High-level negative resistance was equivalent to six high-level element resistances. There were both wind and lightning. Besides this. Armor, physique, and life were also super high-level defense, and life was especially rare. The Azure Sky Dragon King completely dwarfed other pets! What was even more surprising was that its growth potential was high-level king. This was even higher than the King Rank. ¡°The ancient inheritance is really real. It¡¯s worth it to have only one pet!¡± Chapter 152 - 152 About the Inheritance 152 About the Inheritance Ye Fan just happened to be lacking a Battle Pet. He thought that it was better to contract this Azure Sky Dragon King. In that case, all six pets would be gathered. Moreover, all the pets would be above the sixth rank. The lineup was very luxurious. After the contract. The evolution data had changed. In the next stage, the Azure Sky Dragon King¡¯s evolution requirement was 100% growth, one Heavenly Green Stone, ten Thunder Stones, and one Wind Stone. ¡°I don¡¯t seem to remember this Heavenly Green Stone.¡± Ye Fan thought for a moment before summoning the Dragon Soul Pearl exchange shop. He found this thing directly. ¡°Rank 7 materials require six Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± In addition, there were other materials needed for the evolution of pets. Meteorite, Rank 7, required five Dragon Soul Pearls. Oak Heart, Rank 7, required six Dragon Soul Pearls. God¡¯s Talisman, Rank 7, required six Dragon Soul Pearls. Blood Badge, Rank 7, required six Dragon Soul Pearls. He had obtained a total of 45 in these nine levels. After using eight for the three materials previously, he still had 37 left. It was enough to exchange for these five materials. Ye Fan decisively used 28 Dragon Soul Pearls to exchange for all the materials. ¡°All I need are the materials for the evolution of Anissa.¡± Ye Fan perked up. Currently, there were still 17 Dragon Soul Pearls. He hesitated for a moment before exchanging for a Soul Fruit. After eating the red fruit, his soul power soared to 35,000. ¡°There are only seven left!¡± Ye Fan took a look and found what he wanted. ¡°White Blood, Rank 6. It¡¯s exactly seven Dragon Soul Pearls.¡± This was a type of natural treasure with dark attributes. It was very suitable for dark creatures like vampires. Drinking this could increase one level. However, those who consumed this material had to be below Rank 6. Anissa happened to be at Rank 6, which was very suitable. After exchanging, a silver cup appeared in front of him. It was very exquisite. After the vampire girl drank it, her level increased to the peak of Rank 6. Until now. Ye Fan¡¯s Battle Pets had most likely reached the peak of the sixth rank. ¡°I¡¯ve gained a lot this time. It¡¯s better to get rich by doing missions.¡± Ye Fan was very happy. After taking back all the pets, he planned to leave the Dragon Bone. ¡­ There were many people gathered in the square outside the Dragon Bone. They were all challengers who had come to challenge the Dragon Bone. As soon as everyone arrived, they saw the patterns of the ninth level glowing. They were very shocked. No one expected someone to pass the ninth level. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with surprise. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Has anyone reached the ninth level?¡± ¡°This can¡¯t be true, right? Is that the ninth or seventh level? It¡¯s possible if it¡¯s the seventh level, but how can it be the ninth level?¡± ¡°Then count it yourselves!¡± After saying that, everyone realized that the light was indeed on the ninth level. However, everyone found it unbelievable. How could anyone reach the ninth level? The ninth level was the last level of the Dragon Bone. Before this, no one had reached the ninth level. The highest record was only the sixth level. Moreover, many people stopped at the fourth level. Everyone knew very well how difficult the test of the Dragon Bone was. However, the current situation was that there was a very young youth who had passed all the tests and reached the ninth level. It was unbelievable. Everyone looked at the Dragon Bone and stared at the light of the ninth level. Time passed bit by bit. Half an hour later. Everyone was getting impatient. Because they had been looking up at the lights of the ninth level, their necks were sore. ¡°Is there really someone inside? There¡¯s no movement at all. Why do I feel that it¡¯s not real?¡± ¡°We all saw him go in. It must be true. But there¡¯s been no movement for so long. Could he have died inside?¡± ¡°Impossible. The monsters inside can¡¯t possibly attack a Beast Tamer. Even if the challenger unfortunately dies, the lights in the ninth level should be extinguished soon. Since they¡¯re not extinguished, it can only mean that the person is still alive.¡± ¡°That makes sense.¡± After everyone heard this, they waited on the spot with patience. On the side. Zhou He looked a little impatient and found it very strange. Why hadn¡¯t Ye Fan come out yet? Did he receive the inheritance? At this moment, Uncle Feng came over. ¡°I¡¯ve already investigated.¡± ¡°Apart from his identity as the Champion of the West Eagle Academy, he doesn¡¯t have any background or organization behind him.¡± Zhou He was stunned. The other factions had actually not discovered this genius. That was impossible, right? They had probably discovered him. But why wasn¡¯t he recruited? Could there be a reason? Uncle Feng could tell that Zhou He was very puzzled about this. ¡°It¡¯s probably because Ye Fan rejected the recruitment. I heard that he¡¯s not used to being commanded and yearns for freedom.¡± Zhou He was enlightened and his face was filled with mockery. ¡°If such a genius has some organization supporting him, he will only improve faster. If he doesn¡¯t understand this logic, he¡¯s really stupid.¡± ¡°This will save us some trouble. We don¡¯t have to worry about anything.¡± Uncle Feng understood what the other party meant. ¡°Are we going to attack?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take a look first. It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t obtain the inheritance, but if he does¡­¡± Killing intent flashed in Zhou He¡¯s eyes. Uncle Feng nodded and understood what the other party meant. The Zhou family had long set their sights on the inheritance of the Dragon Bone, so they had to obtain it and not let it fall into the hands of anyone other than the Zhou family. The two of them did not speak. They stared intently at the Dragon Bone. A few minutes later. When everyone was getting impatient from waiting. A voice sounded in the air. It was a violent dragon roar. It came from inside the Dragon Bone. Everyone was very shocked and stared intently. In the end, they saw that the lights from the first to the ninth levels lit up. The light was very dazzling, illuminating the entire dragon head. The next moment. A pillar of light shot into the sky, as if it had broken through the sky. The dragon¡¯s roar was very clear. Even a fool should be able to understand now. Ye Fan smoothly completed all the tests of the Dragon Bone. He passed the ninth level. Suddenly, the scene was very quiet. They looked at the pillar of light in shock and felt their minds go blank. They had guessed that Ye Fan might be able to pass the ninth level, but when the truth was placed in front of them, they were still extremely shocked. After all, that was the Dragon Bone. The higher the level, the harder it was. Before today, countless youths from both cities had come to challenge it. No one had ever passed, not even the seventh level. They did not expect that a young man who was not even 20 years old would actually pass all the way to the ninth level today. Moreover, he had even passed the last level. This was something that many people could not do. ¡°Inheritance!¡± Someone suddenly reacted and said loudly. The others immediately reacted and looked at the dragon head. Zhou He¡¯s expression changed drastically, and his face was filled with black lines. Because this was the last thing he wanted to see. Under everyone¡¯s incomparably shocked gazes, the light above gradually extinguished. The Dragon Bone also returned to calm. Immediately after, a figure appeared at the entrance. Ye Fan slowly walked out. Everyone¡¯s gazes were on him. There was surprise, shock, reverence, and jealousy. Anyway, there were all kinds of emotions. The square was very quiet. Sensing everyone¡¯s gazes, Ye Fan stopped. Perhaps something had happened while he was clearing the levels that he didn¡¯t know about. Therefore, everyone now knew that he had cleared the level. However, he didn¡¯t think much of it. He walked down frankly to Xue Yong¡¯s side. Xue Yong was incomparably shocked. He simply couldn¡¯t believe it. His mind was blank, and he had yet to recover from his shock. He had never imagined that Ye Fan would successfully pass. The man had completed the entire test of the Dragon Bone. That was because pets at the sixth rank couldn¡¯t complete the challenge at all. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± Ye Fan¡¯s words caused the other party to react. Xue Yong was slightly dumbfounded. ¡°Aren¡¯t we leaving?¡± Ye Fan was a bit helpless. Xue Yong looked around and realized that everyone¡¯s gazes were on them. In this situation. He immediately wanted to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go back immediately!¡± Since they had passed all the levels of the Dragon Bone, there was no need for him to stay here. Just as he finished speaking, Xue Yong looked at Ye Fan, wanting to say something but hesitated. He really wanted to ask Ye Fan about the ancient inheritance. However, after thinking about it, it was not good to suddenly ask about this. Moreover, with so many people present, anything Ye Fan said would be misconstrued. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to ask. The two of them returned the way they came. Seeing the two of them walk further and further away, everyone started discussing. Zhou He and Uncle Feng looked at each other. Zhou He nodded, and the two of them disappeared not long after. Chapter 153 - 153 Surprising 153 Surprising ¡°This is really surprising!¡± A sigh came from a room not far away. There were countless geniuses in these two cities fighting for the Dragon Bone. However, he did not expect that the person who cleared the level in the end would be a young man who was not even 20 years old. This was too shocking. ¡°How long has it been since I came back? I just came back and I found such a peerless genius.¡± ¡°There¡¯s an ancient inheritance in this Dragon Bone, but that youth should have obtained it now.¡± Liang Yun¡¯s eyes flickered. He wasn¡¯t thinking about the ancient inheritance. After all, the test inside the Dragon Bone was clearly targeted at Rank 6 to Rank 7 Beast Tamers. Moreover, the ancient inheritance was no exception. Now that he was already Rank 9 and had walked his own path, the ancient inheritance was not too attractive to him. He wasn¡¯t interested in this, but others wouldn¡¯t think like him. There were probably many people here who were coveting the things Ye Fan obtained today. ¡°He¡¯s such a good seedling. It won¡¯t be good if he dies here.¡± ¡°Send someone to escort him in case anything happens.¡± Liang Yun shouted, ¡°Soldiers.¡± The soldiers waiting outside pushed open the door and said respectfully, ¡°General, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°Currently, who are the colonels in the garrison?¡± They cleaned up the surrounding monsters every three days. Coincidentally, the officers had all gone out today. Many officers went to carry out the cleanup mission, so not many of them stayed in the encampment. ¡°I think it¡¯s only Lieutenant Colonel Song Lu.¡± Liang Yun thought about it carefully. Song Lu was a Rank-7 and could escort that guy. ¡°Let Lieutenant Colonel Song Lu go out with Ye Fan and escort him out.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± A soldier immediately went to do it. ¡­ Ye Fan and the uneasy Xue Yong walked to the entrance of the camp. The two of them were about to leave. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a military uniform walked over with a smile on his face. After approaching, he looked at Ye Fan and the others calmly. ¡°You are Ye Fan and Second Lieutenant Xue?¡± When Xue Yong saw the other party clearly, he immediately saluted and greeted him. ¡°Lieutenant Colonel Song!¡± Song Lu smiled. After nodding, he looked at Ye Fan and smiled: ¡°General Liang Yun, I am here to escort you back to the city, I am worried that someone will have ill intentions towards you along the way.¡± Xue Yong finally heaved a sigh of relief. Because his orders were only to bring Ye Fan to challenge the Dragon Bone. He did not expect Ye Fan to pass the entire test and even obtain an ancient inheritance. Earlier, there were so many people staring at Ye Fan and him, he was panicking. He was afraid that they would be chased and killed on the way back by someone who wanted Ye Fan¡¯s inheritance. Because there were too many people eying the ancient inheritance, it was difficult to guarantee that others would not be tempted to attack Ye Fan. With the Rank-7 Song Lu protecting them, the journey was much safer. Ye Fan looked at the other party in surprise. He immediately nodded, having no intention of rejecting. ¡°Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be shy with me.¡± Song Lu smiled warmly. Although Ye Fan was very young, he was already Rank-6. Even the Dragon Bone, which was so difficult, had been cleared and he had obtained an ancient inheritance. Such a peerless genius was enough to show that his future was immeasurable. Peak Rank 9 was definitely a piece of cake. Therefore, Song Lu was very willing to befriend him and curry favor with him. How could he be unwilling to escort him? After chatting for a while, they prepared to go back. Originally, there were still some people following behind them, but when they saw Song Lu, they paused for a moment before giving up on following Ye Fan. Song Lu was a Rank-7 and a member of the military. He must have been instructed by his superior to personally escort them. This also meant that the military wanted to protect Ye Fan. Whoever dared to attack Ye Fan under such circumstances would be going against the military. They had to consider if they were strong enough to fight the military. After thinking about it, the people following them basically all went back. Not long after, the three of them walked into the Dragon Valley Forest. Because the road in the forest was not suitable for driving, the three of them walked. Thinking of Little Nine¡¯s beauty, in order to avoid trouble, Ye Fan summoned the skeleton. Song Lu and Xue Yong looked at Skeleton curiously. They were all surprised that Ye Fan had such a seemingly ordinary skeleton pet. Although they were surprised, they didn¡¯t ask further. They chatted along the way. This team had a Rank-7 Beast Tamer and a genius who was as strong as Rank-7. The Rank-4 monsters that appeared along the way were not a problem. Their way back was very easy. ¡°Speaking of which, are there any Rank-7 monsters around?¡± Ye Fan suddenly asked this. Currently, among his Rank-6 pets, only Anissa¡¯s evolution materials had not been gathered. He had to kill five Rank 7 creatures to obtain it. Song Lu thought for a moment and told him. ¡°South of the city, there¡¯s a narrow valley 60 kilometers away. There will be a lot of Rank-7 beasts there.¡± After saying that, he asked the other party again. ¡°Why are you asking about this?¡± Ye Fan replied casually. ¡°I need to collect some Rank-7 materials.¡± The two of them were stunned. Then, they looked at each other in shock. This Ye Fan was indeed a genius who had passed the Dragon Bone trial. If it were any other Rank-6 Beast Tamer, they would avoid Rank-7 monsters as much as possible, but he was still in a hurry to fight them. He took the initiative to collect Rank-7 materials. The younger generation was truly terrifying. Ye Fan did not notice their surprise. He asked about the valley in detail. Song Lu told Ye Fan everything he knew. The few of them walked slowly and quickly arrived at the border between the Dragon Bone and the outside world. This place was closer to the center and they might encounter high-level monsters, so ordinary volunteers were unwilling to approach. If anyone wanted to hunt high-level monsters, they would have entered long ago and would not stay here any longer. Therefore, very few people came to this place. It was very deserted. Not long after, the skeleton suddenly stopped. After sensing the skeleton¡¯s will, Ye Fan stopped, his expression vigilant. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you moving?¡± Song Lu and Xue Yong asked in confusion when they saw Ye Fan stop. ¡°We seem to be targeted by something.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes were smiling. As soon as he finished speaking, the skeleton beside him waved its weapon and slashed at the right rear. The light of the saber wrapped around the violent wind and waves and flew dozens of meters away. This was the Dark Tornado. Rumble. With a loud bang, more than ten towering trees collapsed where the sword energy flew. The branches were torn apart by the violent wind. There was also a continuous whistling in the air, followed by a few screams. Song Lu and Xue Yong were shocked and hurriedly looked at the scream. Only then did they realize that there was a group of people following them ten meters away. At the front was Zhou He. There were about six or seven people with gloomy expressions standing in the middle of the collapsed trees. They were protected by more than ten pets. However, two people nearby had already been injured by the sword energy just now. They fell to the ground and stopped breathing, dying tragically. ¡°Zhou He, Feng Rong!¡± After seeing the other party clearly, Song Lu was suddenly shocked. He was shocked and angry, but he didn¡¯t ask about the other party¡¯s motive. Because in this situation, even a fool could tell what their motive was for bringing a group of people after them. Feng Rong¡¯s cold gaze swept past them before finally landing on Ye Fan, his expression was extremely cold. ¡°Hand over the inheritance.¡± Song Lu was furious. ¡°Your current actions are robbery. Have you thought of the consequences?¡± When Zhou He heard this, he sneered and looked at the other party in disdain. ¡°As long as we kill you today and destroy the evidence, no one will know that we did it.¡± Song Lu¡¯s entire body emitted coldness, and his expression was ugly. ¡°You dare to say that you want to kill us?¡± Although Feng Rong was a Rank-7, Song Lu was also a Rank-7. Moreover, Ye Fan was here. Their battle strength could almost crush the other party. Song Lu really did not understand what the other party was thinking. He actually wanted to snatch the inheritance and destroy the evidence with just a few people. Although Song Lu was a little puzzled, soon, a magnetic and hoarse voice sounded. ¡°In that case, what about me?¡± As soon as he spoke, a thin old man walked out from behind Zhou He. The old man was dressed in simple clothes and was very inconspicuous. When Song Lu saw the other party, his expression changed drastically, and he was even a little afraid. ¡°Pan Liang?¡± The old man raised his eyebrows and sneered. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect someone to recognize me.¡± Song Lu¡¯s expression was not as relaxed as before. Clearly, this person was important. How could he not remember that Pan Liang had done many evil deeds for many years? He was extremely cruel and had killed countless people. Just two years ago, he had killed an entire family over a small quarrel. It even included ordinary people and young children. This person¡¯s actions were cruel and brutal. After that, although the military and the Adventurer¡¯s Association jointly issued a bounty, the other party had disappeared from then on, and no one knew his whereabouts. He did not expect the old man to hide in North City and even hang out with the Zhou family. No wonder the military had been unable to find this person all these years. Moreover, Pan Liang had already reached Rank-7 two years ago. It was already not easy to deal with ordinary Rank-7 Beast Tamers, not to mention that Pan Liang was definitely above Rank-7. He would only be stronger. Against this person, Song Lu lost his confidence. ¡°This is not good.¡± Chapter 154 - 154 Disgusting 154 Disgusting ¡°Where did this guy come from?¡± Seeing that Yang Lu¡¯s expression was not right, Ye Fan asked curiously. Yang Lu did not want to hide it from the other party, he simply explained to Ye Fan. Xue Yong was from the military and had more or less heard of Pan Liang. Of course, he knew that this seemingly thin old man in front of him was the devil who killed people without batting an eyelid two years ago. He immediately panicked. He was not afraid of death. However, if they fell into the hands of such an infamous murderer, the outcome should be unimaginable. Pan Liang smiled evilly, even a little perverted. He seemed to enjoy the shocked expressions of the two people opposite him when they saw him. But only Ye Fan was very calm from beginning to end, which made Pan Liang unhappy. ¡°You¡¯re the genius youth who obtained the inheritance? Your courage is indeed admirable.¡± Pan Liang stared at Ye Fan coldly. His cold gaze was like a poisonous snake looking at its target. ¡°I hope you can still be as calm as you are now when you lose to me later.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s expression did not change. He glanced at the other party and shook his head. ¡°This person is indeed disgusting.¡± Pan Liang¡¯s smile froze, and then his face turned ashen. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s been a long time since I appeared. Young people nowadays are so arrogant.¡± ¡°How dare a brat talk nonsense in front of me.¡± ¡°Today, let me teach you a lesson about controlling your tongue!¡± Just as he finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed beside him. Two ferocious-looking pets appeared beside him. One of them was a dark-skinned pet that looked like a female spider. Its teeth and ears were very sharp, and it was holding a pair of curved horns. One could tell at a glance that it was a Dark Elf. Venomous Spider! High-level Rank-7! The other one was three meters tall and looked very disgusting. It looked like a humanoid monster formed by hundreds of corpses. Hundred Corpse Beast! It was also a high-level Rank-7, and it was an undead. The two pets appeared at the same time, emitting extremely cold white fog. The surroundings also became cold, and the temperature dropped drastically. Yang Lu¡¯s and Xue Yong¡¯s expressions were ugly as they sensed the other party¡¯s strength. This person¡¯s strength was really on par with his reputation. The first to appear were the two Rank 7 pets. Seeing this, Zhou He smiled mockingly and said, ¡°Old Master Pan, don¡¯t kill him first. The inheritance on him is our goal.¡± Pan Liang sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t want that thing, but that kid must be handed to me to deal with.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± After Zhou He nodded in agreement, he looked at Ye Fan as if he was looking at a dying person. Feng Rong also walked forward and looked at Song Lu sharply. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with Song Lu.¡± ¡°The rest of you, just hold back the other one.¡± It did not take long for them to assign their opponents. The enemy seemed as if victory was in their grasp. Song Lu and Xue Yong were angry and afraid. The two of them were very anxious. The other party had made up their minds and were fully prepared. There were already two Rank-7 Beast Tamers. The others were probably not weak either. Their strength could crush the three of them so far. It was very anxious. Song Lu¡¯s expression was ugly. He could not care less and could only brace himself. ¡°The two of you go first. I¡¯ll hold them back. Once we leave this forest, they won¡¯t be so unscrupulous.¡± His idea was to sacrifice himself to protect Ye Fan and Xue Yong. Because among the three of them, he was the strongest. That was why he could stall the enemy and buy time for the other two. Xue Yong looked hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he did not. He understood his current strength very well. Even if he wanted to cover the retreat, it was impossible for him to buy any time. Perhaps he would be defeated in one move. It was a meaningless sacrifice. Ye Fan shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need to escape.¡± He looked at Pan Liang and pointed at him. ¡°This looks disgusting. Leave it to me.¡± Song Lu paused, then became a little anxious. Didn¡¯t he just tell Ye Fan what kind of person Pan Liang was? Why did Ye Fan still not understand the situation? Pan Liang¡¯s current strength far exceeded Rank-7. Even a Rank-7 like him would find it difficult to deal with him and did not have much confidence in winning. Moreover, Ye Fan was only Rank-6 now. Although Ye Fan had passed all the levels of the Dragon Bone and had the strength to fight a Rank-7, the Rank-7 Beast Tamer opposite him could be said to be experienced and ruthless. Ye Fan was no match for him. Song Lu planned to continue persuading him, but it was too late. Feng Rong had come with his pets. There was really no need to escape now, because there was no longer any chance. Song Lu sighed in his heart. He could only brace himself and summon his pets with Xue Yong to prepare for defense. When Pan Liang heard Ye Fan¡¯s words, he was not angry. Instead, he found it funny. ¡°This kid is so arrogant. Does he think he¡¯s really insufferably arrogant just because he passed the Dragon Bone? He can¡¯t even recognize his own strength.¡± ¡°Forget it, let me help you see yourself clearly.¡± After that. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk to Ye Fan anymore and directly asked his pets to attack him. The Hundred Corpse Beast howled. It took heavy steps and charged towards Ye Fan. From afar, he could feel the stench of corpses on this monster. The Venomous Spider easily jumped onto the tree, then stepped on the tree and flew towards Ye Fan. Ye Fan was not in a hurry at all. He summoned his pets. The Duke of Hellfire summoned the Flame Horse and rode it with a weapon in hand to face the Hundred Corpse Beast. Anissa¡¯s sharp canine teeth bit through her fingers, condensing two incomparably sharp blood swords. She jumped up and calmly faced the Venomous Spider. Rose¡¯s graceful singing sounded. She added skills to her comrades and weakened the enemy. Then, she sang. As the battle went on, although the Duke of Hellfire and Anissa¡¯s levels were not high, they were on par with the other party. Song Lu and Xue Yong witnessed all of this with their mouths agape in disbelief. They looked like they had never seen the world. The other party¡¯s pets were high-level Rank-7. Ye Fan¡¯s two pets were only at the Rank-6, but they were evenly matched. Although there were supportive pets from the side, they were still shocking. This was too unbelievable. Zhou He and Feng Rong were the same. Their jaws dropped in disbelief. Pan Liang was the most surprised. He knew very well how strong his pets were and was very shocked by Ye Fan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this kid?!¡± However, he was still quite experienced in the battlefield, so he quickly calmed down. But the disrespect from before disappeared at this moment. He started to look at Ye Fan seriously. With a thought, he summoned new pets. The two pets that appeared this time were pitch-black and vaguely transparent, like dark shadows, but they were wearing warrior armor. This was a Rank-7 high-level Demon Shadow Warrior. Two more Rank-7s appeared. Song Lu was already very shocked and in despair. Pan Liang was indeed arrogant because he was strong. Ordinary Rank-7 Beast Tamers only had one or two Rank-7 pets. However, this guy actually summoned four. Who knew if there were other such powerful pets? On Ye Fan¡¯s side. He was still as calm as ever, but he also summoned Little Nine. Little Nine and Skeleton welcomed the two Demon Shadow Warriors together. Rose quickly added buffs to her two companions and weakened the other party¡¯s combat strength. She repeated what she had done at the beginning. There was still no difference. Zhou He and Feng Rong were dumbfounded. What was going on? How could Ye Fan¡¯s pets be so powerful? Each of them was comparable to a Rank-7 pet. This combat strength was indeed suspicious. This was too surprising. Because four pets were blocked by Ye Fan¡¯s pets in a row, Pan Liang began to wonder if he had been too quiet. He had not shown his face in the past two years and knew nothing about the outside world. Were these young people so powerful now? The young man in front of him was clearly a Rank-6 Beast Tamer. He had four Rank-7 pets. However, he was on par with the other party. This was too strange. Then, Pan Liang was a little angry. Just now, he had threatened to teach the other party a lesson, but now, the combat strength of the two sides was on par. It was really a slap in the face! ¡°Very good. Looks like I underestimated you.¡± ¡°No wonder you didn¡¯t escape just now. So, you do have some strength.¡± Pan Liang gritted his teeth in hatred. Suddenly, his expression turned cold. In an instant, a light flashed. A new pet appeared in front of him. The pressure spread again, and the surrounding air cooled down a few degrees. Song Lu and Xue Yong suddenly looked up. A huge dragon that was like a hill appeared in front of them. This was the Ghostly Dragon, a peak Rank-7! Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­ The two of them gasped. This was bad! A peak Rank-7 dragon meant that something was wrong. Who could win against such a powerful pet? At this moment. Song Lu and Xue Yong were in complete despair. Only Ye Fan looked at it indifferently before smiling. ¡°Dragon? I have one too!¡± Just as he finished speaking, a very huge figure appeared in front of him. Chapter 155 - 155 Don’t You Have Me? 155 Don¡¯t You Have Me? Ever since he contracted this Firmament King, he had never seen its true appearance. This was the first time. It looked very similar to the Dragon King¡¯s Remnant Soul in the ninth level, but it lacked the power to look down on everything. But it was normal. This was because the Firmament King was still in its infancy. How could it be compared to the Dragon King? The platinum-gold Firmament King appeared. Its pressure enveloped everyone and dispelled the aura emitted by the Ghostly Dragon. ¡°Phew!¡± The Ghostly Dragon roared. Its entire body trembled. At this moment, it became especially vigilant against the other party. Pan Liang was shocked by its actions and was a little stunned. After all, his Ghostly Dragon was at the peak of Rank-7. Although it was also a dragon, the other party was only at the peak of Rank-6. There was a huge difference between the two pets. However, in terms of dragon might, the Ghostly Dragon had actually lost to the other party. Because Pan Liang was knowledgeable, he quickly understood the logic behind this. Dragons were hierarchal. The higher-ups had a suppression on the low-level. Pure dragons were more capable of controlling dragons with mixed bloodlines. That was why the current situation was like this. In other words, Ye Fan¡¯s pet was of a higher level than his Ghostly Dragon. That was why the current situation was like this. After understanding, he felt aggrieved and jealous of Ye Fan. ¡°How did Ye Fan encounter all these powerful pets?¡± Compared to his shock, Zhou He and the others were also shocked, their faces filled with fear. They had seen the dragon soul in the Dragon Bone and from the information, so they recognized it when the Firmament King appeared. This dragon was very similar to the dragon soul in the Dragon Bone. It was almost the same. But this was probably the inheritance Ye Fan obtained from the Dragon Bone. Thinking of this, zhou He was extremely jealous. He was jealous that Ye Fan had obtained the inheritance and everything, and even this powerful pet, but he had nothing. Jealousy changed people beyond recognition. It was obvious that this pet must have inherited the dragon soul. Therefore, its potential was probably very high. It was a rather rare pet. Probably more powerful than they had imagined. ¡°If nothing goes wrong, this pet should belong to me.¡± This thought grew stronger and stronger in Zhou He¡¯s mind. Jealousy and hatred tightly bound his heart, making him worry. But this Firmament King had already formed a contract with Ye Fan. Even if Ye Fan died here today, it would not belong to him. ¡°There should be more than one inheritance in the Dragon Bone. What else is there?¡± Zhou He suddenly comforted himself. After all, the challenges in the Dragon Bone were very difficult. Therefore, the inheritance couldn¡¯t be as simple as just one pet. There must be something else. Since he couldn¡¯t get the pet, he had to get the other parts today. Zhou He¡¯s thoughts became more and more firm, his gaze towards Ye Fan became even colder. Ye Fan did not care about the other party¡¯s expression, he placed all his attention on the Firmament King. Looking at the Ghostly Dragon indifferently, the Firmament King did not take it seriously. Instead, it stretched its head to Ye Fan¡¯s side and rubbed it affectionately. Its actions were very intimate. Ye Fan smiled and patted his head. ¡°This is your first battle as my pet. Good luck later.¡± ¡°Hu!¡± The Firmament King howled. It understood Ye Fan¡¯s words. Then, it straightened its back and looked at its opponent. At this moment, the air froze. The Ghostly Dragon tensed up. It was very afraid of the opponent in front of it, but it had to fight. Before it could move, the Firmament King roared. Suddenly. Countless bolts of lightning flashed in the air, dazzling. Bolts of lightning appeared in the sky, mixed with a storm, gradually enveloping the Ghostly Dragon. This was a violent wind and lightning. Tens of meters away, Song Lu and Xue Yong felt their bodies involuntarily begin to hurt. They could all feel it, let alone the Ghostly Dragon under the lightning. The Ghostly Dragon roared as well. Then, its body began to tremble as it released the Ghost Shadows. The Ghost Shadows bared their fangs and brandished their claws. With a ferocious expression, they rushed towards Lightning. Even if they were electrocuted to ashes the moment they touched the lightning, they were still fearless. Just to offset this attack. The black and blue lights collided in the sky and canceled each other out. In the end, they disappeared. Seeing this scene, Pan Liang was extremely shocked, but the smile on his old face could no longer be seen. His face was ashen. Among his pets, the most powerful one was the Ghostly Dragon, but even if he used this pet, he still could not defeat Ye Fan. Besides, Ye Fan only had a Rank-6 pet. He was angry and crazy, anxious and uneasy. He felt that Ye Fan was too strange. His pets were all brave and fierce. Everything that had happened since just now had exceeded his expectations. He was caught off guard. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t have any other pets!¡± Pan Liang gritted his teeth and summoned two more pets. Blood Shadow, intermediate Rank-7. Annihilation Beast, intermediate Rank-7. The Blood Shadow was like a huge eyeball. Its body was pitch-black, and only its pupils were red. The Annihilation Beast was a humanoid monster made of gold. It only had a head, no facial features, no eyes, nose, and mouth. There was even a crack in the middle that burned with green flames. After summoning his two pets, he was very proud at this moment. He looked at Ye Fan in disdain and laughed arrogantly. ¡°Although your pets are on par with mine, if I add two more, will you have a chance of winning?¡± Although the Blood Shadow and the Annihilation Beast were ranked the worst on his battlefield, it did not matter, because at this moment, the two sides were evenly matched. With these two pets, they would undoubtedly suppress Ye Fan. Moreover, Ye Fan only had one support-type pet left and didn¡¯t have any combat strength. They could not defeat his Blood Shadow and Annihilation Beast at all. Thus, Ye Fan would definitely lose this time. There was no room for a counterattack, right? When Zhou He and Feng Rong saw this scene, they finally relaxed. They smiled and thought that there shouldn¡¯t be any more mistakes. Ye Fan¡¯s strength surprised them, and they did not expect him to have so many powerful battle pets. Therefore, just in case, they invited Pan Liang. Otherwise, if it was only Zhou He and Feng Rong, they would definitely not be able to defeat Ye Fan. They would have long lost to him. ¡°The situation has stabilized.¡± Zhou He heaved a sigh of relief. Feng Rong also felt lucky. Fortunately, they were prepared. ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s aptitude is indeed shocking. After all, he can fight Pan Liang¡¯s five pets to a draw at such a young age. If it were me, I probably wouldn¡¯t be able to win.¡± ¡°So if we ignore Ye Fan and let him continue to grow, his future strength will probably far exceed our imagination.¡± Although their city and Ye Fan¡¯s city were allies, there was still competition between these two cities. Whether it was the survival resources or other things, the two cities had always been in conflict. Other than the military, the families were the same. Or rather, it was even more intense. If they allowed a top expert to grow in the other city, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Zhou family. After Feng Rong finished speaking, a trace of smugness flashed across Zhou He¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then what I did this time is a good thing for us. Unfortunately, we can¡¯t celebrate with great fanfare. Otherwise, the other families will definitely come and thank me.¡± Feng Rong smiled. ¡°It¡¯s just gratitude. To you, this is nothing. The most important thing now is to obtain the inheritance of the Dragon Bone. This will be beneficial to our strength. At that time, no one will be able to shake your position.¡± After Zhou He heard this, he was pleased. It was as if he would soon become the leader of the young people in North City. Pan Liang¡¯s lips curled, he did not care about the inheritance Zhou He mentioned. What he cared about was that Ye Fan had already angered him. When he caught the other party and got answers to what he wanted to ask, he would definitely torture that guy. He wanted the arrogant Ye Fan to see his methods. After sneering, he attacked. The Blood Shadow and the Annihilation Beast attacked Ye Fan. Whether it was Ye Fan, Song Lu, or Xue Yong, they were all too busy with their pets. Although Rose was at the side, she did not have the combat strength to fight a Rank-7 pet. The Blood Shadow and the Annihilation Beast gradually attacked Ye Fan. Song Lu and Xue Yong¡¯s expressions changed. At this moment, they were in despair. But Ye Fan did not take it seriously, he smiled lightly. ¡°Indeed, I don¡¯t have any extra pets. However, I¡¯m here!¡± His calmness surprised Song Lu and the others. They did not understand what Ye Fan meant. In the next second. They felt a powerful pressure emitting from Ye Fan¡¯s body. The Blood Shadow and the Annihilation Beast stopped in their tracks. Their bodies shook as they quickly looked at Ye Fan. The surrounding people also looked over in panic. They saw Ye Fan gradually disappear into the light, turning into a ball of light. The ball of light quickly expanded and became huge. While everyone was stunned, the light suddenly extinguished, and a very huge dragon appeared. This dragon was brawny and had perfect muscles! Moreover, its body was covered in very exquisite white scales. It was still shining with golden light. Its fair wings flapped gently, looking extremely similar to the Firmament King. It was actually another high-level purebred dragon. Moreover, the dragon might it emitted could cover a thousand miles. Everyone seemed to have their breathing suppressed on the spot, and they felt a little suffocated. Pan Liang and Zhou He were also stunned on the spot. Looking at the Golden-Platinum Dragon King, their jaws dropped. They could not believe it was true and could not react at all. Chapter 156 - 156 I Have One Too 156 I Have One Too ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Song Lu¡¯s jaw almost dropped as he looked at the dragon in front of him in disbelief. He had no idea what was going on. Why did Ye Fan suddenly become a dragon and a battle pet? He felt that his head was buzzing and he could not calm down to think. Xue Yong was the same. His mind was blank. He looked at the Dragon King in shock and speechlessness. Pan Liang and the others were in disbelief. They felt that this was definitely not true. How could a human become a pet? And a dragon king at that! Their understanding simply could not accept the facts in front of them. But they had seen it with their own eyes. They had seen Ye Fan become this dragon king. However, their rationality gave them a huge impact, and they couldn¡¯t come back to their senses for a long time. ¡°So this is what it means to become the Firmament Dragon King¡­¡± Ye Fan¡¯s voice came from the dragon king¡¯s mouth. Although it was slightly lower than Ye Fan¡¯s voice, the others could tell that it was Ye Fan¡¯s voice. ¡°But it¡¯s not bad to become a dragon!¡± Ye Fan felt that it was very interesting. He looked at his current body. From a human to a Dragon King, this feeling was really novel. It made him feel unbelievable, but he was also very excited. Although he could control this body skillfully, he felt that his current body had an unfamiliar feeling. ¡°So the power of a dragon is like this¡­ It feels very strong¡­¡± He tried to clench his claws, then exclaimed again. However, he quickly accepted this body and familiarized himself with how to control it. Then, he looked at the enemy. After the intense battle in the Dragon Bone, his Soul Power had not completely recovered. Currently, he only had more than 1,000 Soul Power left. However, it could still last for more than ten seconds. There wasn¡¯t much time left. He couldn¡¯t waste a second. ¡°It¡¯s only ten seconds, but it¡¯s enough.¡± His pitch-black dragon eyes swept over the Blood Shadow and the Annihilation Beast, and their bodies trembled. Then, they roared in fear. Seeing that his pets were so timid, Pan Liang immediately reprimanded him. ¡°Useless thing, don¡¯t be afraid. Hurry up and kill him!¡± For pets, the order of a Beast Tamer could not be disobeyed. Therefore, no matter how afraid they were, they could only bite the bullet and attack. The Blood Shadow¡¯s body shone, it shot out a red light, like a death laser, that shot towards Ye Fan. The Annihilation Beast roared and waved its arms. The golden line gradually spread and quickly attacked Ye Fan. Facing the attacks of the two pets, Ye Fan did not panic at all. With a casual wave of his hand, the branches that were attacking him were torn to pieces by the claws. Although the Death Laser successfully hit his arm, the scales blocked it and he was not injured at all. Only a small mark was left. Seeing this, Pan Liang panicked. He didn¡¯t expect that his two pets couldn¡¯t hurt the other party. Song Lu and Xue Yong were also very shocked and had hope. To think that Ye Fan could transform into a dragon king and be so powerful. At this moment, Ye Fan was still so calm. Although there was a realm difference between a Peak Rank-6 Dragon King and a Peak Rank-7 Blood Shadow, there was the suppression of races, so Ye Fan was superior. The Firmament Dragon King that Ye Fan transformed into also had the strength of a peak Rank-7. Therefore, it was not difficult to deal with two intermediate Rank-7s. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Ye Fan opened his claws and quickly slapped the Blood Shadow to the ground. The Blood Shadow struggled in pain and roared, but it was useless. Because in the next second, Ye Fan tightened his grip on the dragon claw and smashed down again. The explosion was like the sound of a water ball being pierced. The enemy¡¯s eyes had already turned into a pool of blood, like a lotus shower, and blood was splashing everywhere. Immediately after, Ye Fan roared. Rolling thunder appeared in the sky, and dense lightning struck down, drowning the Annihilation Beast. Dazzling lightning filled the sky. Everyone had no choice but to close their eyes because this light was unbearable. When the light gradually dissipated, everyone slowly opened their eyes and realized that the Annihilation Beast had already been reduced to ashes. Pan Liang and the others did not react. They looked at this scene in disbelief, feeling like they were in a dream. Song Lu and Xue Yong were dumbfounded and could not believe it. The two Rank-7s were actually unable to resist Ye Fan at all. They were instantly killed. What was going on with Ye Fan? How could he be so strong? This strength had probably reached Rank 8! Why was Ye Fan so strong? Wait a minute. At this moment, the two of them suddenly understood. Could it be that Ye Fan¡¯s transformation was also an inheritance? That was probably the case! Because the dragon he transformed into was the same as the Dragon King in the Dragon Bone, it was about right. ¡°This is too amazing.¡± Xue Yong could only come up with this praise after a long time. Song Lu couldn¡¯t say anything, but his expression had already betrayed him because he was also quite shocked. Ever since Zhou He and the others came out, Ye Fan¡¯s battle strength had become terrifying. The power he displayed had simply reached an astonishing level. It had completely refreshed their impression of Rank-6 Beast Tamers. Song Lu felt that if he went to the battlefield like Ye Fan and deal with Pan Liang, then he would definitely lose to the other party. That was because Pan Liang was one of the best Rank-7 Beast Tamers. Who could win so easily under this person¡¯s pressure? ¡°Damn it¡­¡± Pan Liang¡¯s gaze was extremely cold as he stared at Ye Fan. He did not expect Ye Fan to have such achievements at such a young age. Light flashed, not long after, Ye Fan returned to his human form. He glanced at the other party¡¯s pets and sighed. Although he still had some Soul Power left, it could not support him to deal with all the enemies. Therefore, he terminated the skill in advance. Otherwise, if his Soul Power was exhausted, he would not be able to maintain the Soul Protection. In that case, he would definitely be in danger. Currently, Pan Liang only had five pets left and was fighting Ye Fan¡¯s five pets. Zhou He and the others were also fighting with all their might and did not have the time. The two sides were in an anxious state, and their combat strength was on par. They had fallen into a stalemate. From the looks of it¡­ Song Lu and Xue Yong finally heaved a sigh of relief because time slowly passed. Once the battle here lasted for a long time, it would immediately be discovered. Once someone saw the situation here, Zhou He and the others could only leave. They had no other choice. If they forcibly snatched the inheritance of the Dragon Bone and killed a Beast Tamer, they could still defend themselves if they gave up and retreated. If everyone found out, it would not look good, especially the Zhou family. The military would definitely not dare to protect a certain family because of this. Zhou He and the others understood this logic. As time passed, the two of them gradually understood what Ye Fan was planning. Feng Rong was the first to persuade the other party. ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s no time. Why don¡¯t we¡­¡± Zhou He¡¯s heart ached. That was because that life-saving talisman was given to him by his family¡¯s elders. It was his trump card. Moreover, it could only be used once. After using it, there was nothing left. However, there was not much time to consider in the current situation. Zhou He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to use it. He looked at Ye Fan coldly before taking off the ring on his left hand. It was a stone-carved ring with dense patterns on it. It had a strong retro aura. After taking off the ring, he threw it up and chanted an incantation. The ring emitted a red light in the air. Light flashed. A human-shaped giant eagle with curved limbs flapped its wings and came out of the red light. This huge turn of events shocked everyone. Ye Fan was a little surprised. He did not expect Zhou He to have such a trump card. He had kept such a trick up his sleeve. However, this kind of summoning item was really rare. This type was usually consumable and could only be used once. However, there was no doubt that its combat strength must be very powerful. Just like the one in front of him. The other party had the head of an eagle and the body of a human. Song Lu¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°Jia Luo!¡± Zhou He laughed. ¡°You¡¯re quite knowledgeable.¡± His generous admission made Song Lu instantly gasp and his face turn pale. Jia Luo was a pet of the eighth rank and the fire class. Although it was only low-level, its combat strength far exceeded theirs. Moreover, Ye Fan had already used his trump card. He could not transform anymore. Suddenly. Xue Yong and Song Lu fell into deep despair again. Originally, there was hope, but now, they gradually despaired. Zhou He could tell that they were in despair. He was secretly happy as if he was about to win. But when he looked at Ye Fan, his gaze stopped. Because Ye Fan did not show any panic on his face, he was very calm, just like before. Ye Fan was always so calm. This instantly made him a little uneasy, but it quickly dissipated. Because he didn¡¯t believe that Ye Fan had any other methods to resist his pet. Zhou He looked at Ye Fan mockingly from above. But Ye Fan did not care. He raised his hand and a card appeared in his palm. ¡°You¡¯re not the only one who has a summoning item. I have one too!¡± Chapter 157 - 157 Completely Defeated 157 Completely Defeated The scene fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded, this was too strange, they looked at Ye Fan in a daze. Zhou He¡¯s mocking smile froze on his face as he looked at the card in Ye Fan¡¯s hand in shock. He knew very well that the card was also a summoning card. Who was this guy?! Wasn¡¯t he just an ordinary person? How could he have this?! Such a rare card was not something ordinary people could have. His face was filled with shock and doubt. But soon, they could witness it with their own eyes. Ye Fan directly used the card. This card was the reward for clearing the level previously. It could summon the guardian¡¯s projection to fight. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the card emitted a dazzling white light. The white light was very intense and became more and more dazzling. Everyone was very puzzled. What kind of thing would Ye Fan summon, and was it powerful? However, because the white light was too dazzling, they could not look straight at it. Not long after, a figure walked out of the white light. A slender woman with a human upper body and a deer lower body appeared. She was wearing a white accessory on her head that looked like wings and holding a Spear of Light. She was only wearing a corset that exposed her slender waist. Her figure was very good, and her body was glowing, like an immortal deer. There was a smile on her lips. Her golden hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. She was like a goddess of victory. Her entire body emitted a light that made people unable to take their eyes off her. It was very quiet. Beast Tamers and their pets stopped at this moment and stared blankly at the new pet, the deer-bodied beauty. She looked around, her gaze following Ye Fan. Her beautiful face was filled with a smile as she greeted Ye Fan. ¡°Ye Fan, long time no see.¡± ¡°Yes, long time no see.¡± Ye Fan had just finished speaking when the other party came in front of him. Her golden pupils were very beautiful, and her immortal aura fluttered like an elf. ¡°It¡¯s been a few months since we last met. You¡¯ve reached Rank-6 so quickly. You¡¯ve improved very quickly.¡± Bai Lian wanted to catch up with him, but Ye Fan quickly interrupted her. He pointed at Jia Luo. ¡°We¡¯re fighting. Let¡¯s finish the battle first.¡± Only then did Bai Lian react. ¡°We¡¯ve only chatted for a while, and you already can¡¯t wait.¡± Even so, she turned to look at Jia Luo. ¡°Let¡¯s deal with this ugly thing in front of us first before catching up.¡± Her tone was calm, and she did not take the other party seriously at all. Zhou He was furious when he heard this. He did not expect Ye Fan to be as arrogant as his pet. ¡°You¡¯re only a Rank-7. Although you¡¯re boasting shamelessly, I¡¯ll let you know the price!¡± ¡°Moreover, this is your clone. If it¡¯s the main body, you may be qualified to fight.¡± After all, Zhou He came from a large family and was an elite among elites. Therefore, he was knowledgeable and could immediately tell that the thing in front of him had an extraordinary background. It was probably an extremely powerful creature, but it was only a clone that had appeared here. At most, it had the strength of a Rank-7. It was not worth mentioning in front of Jia Luo. Bai Lian was not angry at all. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party in amusement. ¡°You guys are not worthy of my main body coming over.¡± She pointed at Skeleton and Anissa. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that level doesn¡¯t mean everything? Their levels are all below yours.¡± Zhou He¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Jia Luo, go!¡± Jia Luo let out a long howl as flames ignited on his body. Like a meteor, he quickly attacked Bai Lian and Ye Fan. Wherever he passed, everything was melted by the high temperature. The penetrative power in the air was also very strong. Seeing such a powerful momentum, Song Lu and Xue Yong were a little afraid. ¡°This thing is so ferocious!¡± Bai Lian snorted and raised her arm. Then, she stabbed the spear in her hand. Everyone only saw white light, but the white light had already attacked and arrived in front of Jia Luo. It only left a white trail in the air. This white trail seemed to split the world into two, with the white trail as the center. Everyone could only see a white line, and the middle of the white line was the burning Jia Luo. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the impact of the two forces quickly spread out after the collision. All around, the sky and the ground shook violently. Even the trees were shattered by the shock wave. The ground sank by about half a meter, as if it had been crushed by a heavy object. Debris flew everywhere, and dust flew in the air. Everyone felt deafening and uncomfortable. However, they still wanted to find out. They widened their eyes at the scene. In the blink of an eye, the white light suppressed the red light. The white light was unstoppable and struck Jia Luo¡¯s chest. In the next second, it pierced through Jia Luo and disappeared from sight. Everyone only saw a bloody hole in Jia Luo¡¯s chest. His heart was gone. Jia Luo was also shocked and could not react at all. What had happened? However, when he saw his own situation, he felt despair and pain. Just as he was about to wail, he fell from the sky and landed on the ground. Blood gushed out in pools, and the soil was dyed red. Soon, there was no more movement. The surroundings were very quiet. Everyone was shocked and could not come back to their senses for a long time. They felt that this had already exceeded their understanding. Bai Lian felt that her body was a little transparent and blamed herself. ¡°Did I use too much strength?¡± She looked at Ye Fan helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ve consumed too much strength. My clone can¡¯t hold on anymore. I don¡¯t think I have time to catch up.¡± ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯re already very powerful. Do you still remember what I told you? I¡¯ll wait for you in the Seven Luminaries Tower. Ye Fan paused. Before he could speak, the other party disappeared. Ye Fan wanted to say something but hesitated. His gaze flickered with determination. He naturally remembered what the other party said. Previously, he had only passed the first test. As for the second level, he was not strong enough to pass it, so he did not continue to challenge it. Instead, he made an agreement with the other party that he would return to challenge it after he became stronger. Thus, what Bai Lian said indicated that Ye Fan¡¯s strength was enough to challenge the second level. But that was all for later. Ye Fan came back to his senses and looked around. Before Pan Liang and Zhou He could react, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief. They were all shocked by the scene of Bai Lian killing Jia Lou. They could not come back to their senses for a long time. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that a Rank-7 had defeated a Rank-8. What was this? Even a clone was so powerful. If her main body was here, this place would probably have turned to ashes long ago. Thinking of this, they finally came back to their senses. After looking around, they were even more surprised. Something happened. The Venomous Spider and the others all fell to the ground. Moreover, they had stopped moving and breathing. They were already dead. Zhou He¡¯s and Feng Rong¡¯s breathing stopped, and his eyes were filled with despair. Ye Fan was also very surprised. But then, he understood Bai Lian¡¯s true strength. He was amazed by this. This sister was really too awesome. While fighting Jia Luo, she had killed all the other pets. Moreover, Ye Fan did not notice it at all, and the others did not notice it either. This sister¡¯s strength was really bottomless. ¡°If she can become my pet too, she will really be invincible and I¡¯ll directly advance.¡± Ye Fan sighed in his heart. However, from the looks of it, he had to consider going to the Seven Luminaries Tower. After reaching Rank-7, he planned to go. After reacting, Ye Fan looked at the other party and smiled. ¡°Do you want to continue?¡± Zhou He naturally came to a realization, and his face turned pale. The group was filled with despair. They did not expect that they were here to take Ye Fan¡¯s life only to end up losing their own lives. Originally, they had made sufficient preparations and even invited experts. They had even used the rare items given by their families, but in the end, they were still defeated. Thus, all of this was Ye Fan¡¯s fault. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Ye Fan was so powerful, so abnormal, so completely different from other Beast Tamers, they wouldn¡¯t have lost. Their plan was originally flawless. It was all because this person was Ye Fan. ¡°This guy is simply inhuman!¡± Zhou He was frustrated and hateful. At this moment, his heart was already twisted. He even regretted it. If he had known that Ye Fan was so powerful, he would not have come rashly and thought that he had made sufficient preparations. He would definitely not snatch the inheritance himself. But there was no point in regretting it now. It was too late. Too late. They had lost completely. Chapter 158 - 158 Do You Think I Will Believe You? 158 Do You Think I Will Believe You? At this moment, the air froze. Zhou He and the others¡¯ faces turned pale as they looked at Ye Fan as if they had seen a ghost. They were no longer as arrogant and mocking as before, when they felt that they would definitely win. Song Lu was ecstatic, because the situation on both sides was reversed. Ye Fan¡¯s gaze was calm, making Zhou He¡¯s hair stand on end. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°If you let us go today, I promise to personally apologize and never appear in front of you again. Can you trust me?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm: ¡°Do you think I will believe you?¡± ¡°If you kill me today, our Zhou family will definitely not let this matter rest.¡± Ye Fan said calmly: ¡°As long as we don¡¯t leave any traces, no one will know that we did it.¡± Zhou He had said this before. Now, Ye Fan returned the words to the other party. The same words sounded extremely ironic to the other party. Zhou He¡¯s face was ashen. He was angry from embarrassment, but he had nothing to say. At this moment, Pan Liang raised his hand and faced Ye Fan. A wave of soul power shot out from his palm at lightning speed towards Ye Fan. Only the sound of explosions was left in the air. The sound was very intense and terrifying. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± Song Lu and Xue Yong¡¯s expressions changed drastically as they shouted almost at the same time. Ye Fan¡¯s body was calm, he did not panic at all. His pitch-black eyes looked at the shock wave until he suffered this attack. Soul protection flashed and disappeared. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, Ye Fan was not injured at all, he stood there unscathed. ¡°How come?¡± Pan Liang gritted his teeth. He could not understand why Ye Fan was not injured at all. After all, if it was an ordinary person, they would have long¡­ Moreover, he had trained for a long time and used more than half of his soul power to deal with Ye Fan. Even a Rank-7 Beast Tamer wouldn¡¯t be able to resist this move if he used Soul Protection in time catching them off guard. Ye Fan was only a Rank-6. The joy on Zhou He¡¯s face froze before he panicked. Because from the current situation, Ye Fan¡¯s soul power was clearly higher than Pan Liang¡¯s. Thus, even if Pan Liang attacked Ye Fan with all his might, it was unbelievable that he was not injured at all. Battle pets could become stronger by accumulating resources to fight above their level. Perhaps Ye Fan had a mysterious organization behind him that was secretly nurturing him, which was why he was so strong. But what was with this terrifying Soul Technique aptitude? Soul Techniques also required time to cultivate. There were no shortcuts. At Ye Fan¡¯s age, even a peerless genius would not be able to cultivate his soul power to such an extent. Or had he been cultivating before he was born? The other party showed a despairing expression. He felt that there was no chance now. He would completely lose to Ye Fan. ¡°You guys sure know some despicable methods.¡± Ye Fan felt that these people were too unworthy. They only knew how to use despicable methods. Then, he stretched out his palm and aimed it at the other party. ¡°There¡¯s always reciprocation. I know how to counterattack with soul power. Let me return the favor!¡± Before the other party could speak, a powerful soul power shock wave was activated. A strong pressure enveloped a radius of 50 kilometers. Sensing the surrounding environment, Zhou He and the others were shocked. They hurriedly injected their Soul Power into the Soul Protection to strengthen their defense. A loud bang suddenly sounded in the air. A violent wind shot out from Ye Fan¡¯s palm, arriving in front of Zhou He and the others in the blink of an eye. They tried their best to strengthen Soul Protection, but in front of Ye Fan¡¯s shock wave, it was extremely weak and could not resist at all. It was crushed in the blink of an eye. Then, the shock wave drowned everyone like a storm. Rumble! A deafening sound rang out as all the trees collapsed. Then, they saw the dust in the air slowly disappear, leaving only a pothole more than ten meters wide. They could not see anything else, and Zhou He and the others were nowhere to be seen. There was only one possibility, and that was that they had already been reduced to ashes. Seeing this scene, Song Lu and Xue Yong sucked in a breath of cold air, not daring to be confident. Ye Fan¡¯s soul power impact had actually cultivated to such a powerful level, it was much more terrifying than the soul protection. ¡°Ye Fan is too unbelievable, his ability is comparable to a monster¡¯s.¡± Xue Yong and Song Lu only had this thought in their minds. ¡°Now, there¡¯s no need to destroy the evidence. It¡¯s directly obliterated.¡± Ye Fan retracted his hand and turned to look at Song Lu and the others, spreading his hands. ¡°I should be acting in self-defense. What do you think?¡± Song Lu and Xue Yong came back to their senses. The two of them looked at each other before answering Ye Fan with a bitter smile. ¡°You¡¯re right. They brought this upon themselves!¡± Song Lu said. As he spoke, he observed Ye Fan¡¯s expression, because Ye Fan¡¯s current strength was enough for him to respect. He no longer treated Ye Fan as a junior. Instead, he respected him and felt that Ye Fan was a powerful Beast Tamer. ¡°I have to report this to the military later. It¡¯s my duty. Please understand.¡± ¡°But I can guarantee that this matter won¡¯t be leaked, and the Zhou family won¡¯t suspect you,¡± Song Lu said. Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded. After all, the two people beside him were from the military, so he didn¡¯t think that he would be able to hide it from the military. However, he didn¡¯t care if the Zhou family knew about this. Although the Zhou family was powerful, they were still in North City. North City could not reach their territory, so there was naturally no need to worry too much about the Zhou family taking revenge. Moreover, Ye Fan¡¯s current strength was increasing very quickly. Soon, the Zhou family would be nothing in his eyes. Song Lu and Xue Yong did not understand Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts, but seeing that Ye Fan was very relaxed from the beginning to the end, they were very impressed. After a discussion, the two of them asked Xue Yong to return to the base and report this matter to the military. Ye Fan and Song Lu continued to go to Chaohai City. The two of them did not mention escorting again. After all, Ye Fan¡¯s strength was worlds apart from theirs. It was hard to say who was escorting who. In the evening, the sky gradually darkened and it was sunset. Ye Fan rejected Song Lu¡¯s offer to arrange a car for him and took a bus back to the college villa. After entering the house, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and took the time to count his gains from this trip. ¡°I¡¯ve passed all the levels of the Dragon Bone. My pets have all evolved to Rank-6. I¡¯ve also contracted a sixth pet, the Firmament King.¡± So far, Ye Fan already had six Rank-6 pets and the contracting spots were already full. Other than this, five of the pets¡¯ materials for evolving to Rank-7 had been gathered. All that was left was to increase their growth to max and evolve them at any time. Chapter 159 - 159 Hunter Group 159 Hunter Group However, Anissa had yet to gather the evolution materials. ¡°Actually, this is not difficult, I can gather them in two or three days.¡± Ye Fan was very satisfied, he had a smile on his face. Apart from that, he had also obtained the Firmament Transformation. This was simply a killing technique. He had consumed a lot of evolution points, but he still had more than 4,000 evolution points left. It was a huge harvest! ¡°Next, I¡¯ll be preparing to advance to Rank-7!¡± His eyes flickered. According to his plan, he would collect Rank-7 materials while farming and leveling up. He hoped to max out the growth of one of the pets as soon as possible. ¡°Song Lu said before that there are many Rank-7 monsters in that place. I think it¡¯s called the Rock Valley!¡± Ye Fan thought about what Song Lu had told him. He opened the Internet and checked on his phone, but there was not much information about this valley on the Internet. It only said that there were many Rank-5 monsters in this valley and that it was very dangerous. The higher the level of the monsters, the less relevant information there was on the Internet. This was because the people in these places were all adventurers, so information was very precious. No one would publicize it on the Internet for free. Usually, they would sell the information to Beast Tamers through a certain channel. They wouldn¡¯t give it away for free. Thus, Ye Fan went to the forum of Beast Tamers, but he still did not find anything. Suddenly, he noticed that many forums were discussing Beast Tamers and Hunters. He roughly looked at them and realized that they meant the Killer Fiends who ambushed Beast Tamers in the wilderness. Those guys usually specialized in challenging Beast Tamers. So far, they had killed more than thirty Beast Tamers. Among the thirty people, there were many Rank-6 and Rank-7 Beast Tamers. This matter caused a huge commotion in the circle of Beast Tamers. Because of this, the military and the adventure organizations jointly issued arrest warrants. Unfortunately, they had yet to catch anyone. ¡°A murderer who specializes in challenging pet masters. Could he be a lunatic?¡± Ye Fan thought about it and shook his head, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with him. The most important thing now was to collect information about the Rock Valley. ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Senior Shen Yi?¡± The next day, in the Adventure Organization building. Ye Fan had just walked in when he saw Shen Yi waving at him from the corner. ¡°Ye Fan, over here!¡± Ye Fan walked over with a smile and sat opposite her. ¡°Senior, did you just come back?¡± After deciding to ask Shen Yi about the Rock Valley, Ye Fan immediately contacted her. The other party agreed without saying anything and asked him to meet here. At first, Ye Fan was a little puzzled. Why did she arrange to meet in such a place? But now, after seeing the other party¡¯s attire, he suddenly understood. ¡°I¡¯ve been out on missions for the past few days,¡± Shen Yi said with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed like she had gained a lot from this trip! She sized up Ye Fan, curiosity flashing in her eyes. ¡°I heard that you went to challenge the Dragon Bone. How¡¯s the result?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Ye Fan replied simply. At this moment, the waiter brought tea over and he took a cup. This was because there were seats, tea, and snacks for adventurers in the hall on the first floor. ¡°Which level did you reach?¡± Shen Yi asked. She also took a sip of tea, wanting to know what level Ye Fan had reached. ¡°Ninth level.¡± ¡°Ah? Cough, cough, cough!¡± Shen Yi choked on the tea she had just drunk and coughed violently. After a while, she recovered and looked at Ye Fan in disbelief, feeling that this answer was too surprising. ¡°How many levels did you pass?¡± Ye Fan smiled. ¡°Nine.¡± ¡°You passed the entire test?¡± Shen Yi was dumbfounded, looking at Ye Fan in disbelief. Although she didn¡¯t have the chance to challenge the Dragon Bone, she was born in a family of Beast Tamers. She naturally knew the rumors about the Dragon Bone. After all, it had been so popular recently. Moreover, it was said that the difficulty of the Dragon Bone was very high. Especially from the seventh level, the difficulty became higher and higher, making people stop in their tracks. The young people from the two cities gathered together and challenged one after another. However, all of them were trapped below the seventh level. Until now, no one had been able to pass the seventh level. But Ye Fan actually said that he had reached the ninth level, which was the end of the test. Ye Fan was not a braggart, so the words coming out of his mouth were different from ordinary people. If it was anyone else who said this, Shen Yi would definitely not believe them. Even so, she was still very shocked. After reacting, she asked Ye Fan in detail. Ye Fan did not hide it from her and told her the truth. Hearing that the monster in the ninth level of the Dragon Bone was a peak Rank-7 remnant soul, Shen Yi was dumbfounded. Her jaw dropped. Rank-7 at the peak, and it was a dragon. Its strength was close to Rank 8. She could not imagine how Ye Fan defeated that monster. It was simply unimaginable. ¡°This is unbelievable. You are really getting stronger and stronger.¡± Her face was filled with shock, but she was also happy for Ye Fan. Back in the school tournament, Ye Fan had just advanced to Rank-6 and only had one Rank-6 pet. Not long after, he was actually powerful enough to kill a peak Rank-7 monster. This speed of improvement was as fast as riding a rocket. It was unimaginable. After a long time, Shen Yi sorted out her emotions and looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression, changing the topic. ¡°You came to ask me about the Rock Valley. Could it be that you want to go and train?¡± ¡°I want some Rank-7 materials. I heard that there are many Rank-7 creatures in the Rock Valley.¡± Hearing this, Shen Yi understood and tacitly agreed with Ye Fan. After thinking for a while, she said, ¡°The terrain in the Rock Valley is very complicated. The monsters are very scattered. If you want to find Rank-7 monsters, it¡¯s best to find a guide.¡± Ye Fan paused. ¡°A guide?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Yi pointed at the mission counter on the other side. ¡°Many hunter group often go out to the Rock Valley. You can go to the association to issue missions and find a guide. As long as the price is right, I think many hunters are willing to accept such missions.¡± Ye Fan came to a realization and felt that this was a good idea. He did not know anything about the Rock Valley. So far, he only knew that there were Rank-7 demonic creatures inside. He did not know where they were. If he went in alone to search, it might just be a waste of time. It was better to find someone familiar with the area to lead the way. Shen Yi felt that Ye Fan was a little tempted and continued to suggest to him, ¡°You are looking for Rank-7 monsters. It is very dangerous for the person who accepts the mission. The mission can be set to the gold level. Of course, the reward has to be set according to this.¡± Chapter 160 - 160 Could It Be the Fallen? 160 Could It Be the Fallen? Ye Fan nodded and understood what the other party meant. He had a lot of credit points that he had obtained from subduing pets in the Dragon Bone. He was not short of the reward for the gold mission. ¡°I have a patrol mission in the Hunter Group these few days. Otherwise, I can accompany you. After all, I¡¯m quite familiar with that place.¡± Shen Yi smiled and told Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flickered and he quickly asked her, ¡°Is your mission related to the hunters of Beast Tamers?¡± She was stunned. ¡°You heard about it too?¡± As soon as she said this, she suddenly reacted and knocked her head. ¡°That¡¯s true. The matter of the hunters is so popular. I guess everyone knows about it. It would be strange if you didn¡¯t know.¡± Ye Fan asked curiously: ¡°What is going on? Could it be a Fallen?¡± ¡°No.¡± Shen Yi denied Ye Fan¡¯s guess, feeling a little troubled. After thinking for a while, she told him. ¡°According to what I heard, that hunter doesn¡¯t seem to be a Beast Tamer.¡± Hearing this answer, Ye Fan was shocked. ¡°If the other party isn¡¯t a Beast Tamer, what is it?¡± The person who could kill a Beast Tamer was not a Beast Tamer. Who else among humans could have such strength? Could it be a wild monster? However, wild monsters usually had a fixed activity place. It was impossible for them to kill people everywhere. ¡°I don¡¯t know about that.¡± Shen Yi was also very confused. ¡°But I heard that the military and the adventure organization have jointly arrested that hunter and forced him into the north tomb.¡± ¡°The search team probably sealed the tomb. Now, we¡¯re just short of catching the turtle in the jar. There will probably be a result soon.¡± Ye Fan felt that it was interesting, but he quickly forgot about it. Instead, he went to the counter and asked someone to help him issue the guide mission. The missions issued in the adventure organization had to be rewarded with credit points and contribution points as remuneration. Moreover, the number of contribution points could not be less than the lowest of the missions of the same level. As for the Gold mission he was going to issue, their contribution points were usually around 1,000 to 3,000. He only had more than 3,000 left. He simply waved his hand and set 2,000 contribution points, hoping to attract more outstanding hunters. Probably because his remuneration was relatively high, someone accepted his mission the next day. After receiving the news, he rushed to the adventure organization to meet the person who accepted the mission. When he arrived, he was shocked because the person who came was not anyone else but someone he knew. It was the group of people he had seen in the Dragon Bone. Previously, when Ye Fan, Xu Menghan, and Xiao Qiuya went to the Dragon Valley to catch pets, they encountered the Ding family who planned to snatch Wang Jun¡¯s spoils. In the end, Ye Fan was also implicated, so he had to defeat Ding Li and the others. He used Wang Jun to deal with the Dings. To a certain extent, the two sides could be considered friends with common secrets. After knowing that the person who issued the mission was Ye Fan, Wang Jun and the others were also stunned, their expressions were extremely complicated. They had a deep impression of Ye Fan because firstly, Ye Fan had strength that did not match his age, and secondly, because of the Ding Family incident. After the Dragon Bone incident, Wang Jun and the others had been very worried that the Ding family would find out that they had killed Ding Wanlie and the others. They were worried that the other party would take revenge. However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened. Only then did they feel relieved. They felt that the matter should be over and heaved a sigh of relief. But they did not expect to meet Ye Fan here again. Thinking of this, they had mixed feelings. However, they had no choice. Since they had accepted the mission, the penalty was not small. They definitely could not bear to pay it. After hesitating for a while, they finally agreed. ¡°Ye Fan.¡± Wang Jun showed a servant¡¯s smile. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with being so respectful to Ye Fan, who was much younger than him. ¡°Let¡¯s confirm again. The mission is to bring you to the location of the Rank-7 monsters, but we don¡¯t need to participate in the battle. We just need to clean up some monsters along the way. Is this the content?¡± Ye Fan nodded: ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wang Jun and the others looked at each other, both sides were very surprised, but because they had seen Ye Fan¡¯s true strength. At Rank-6, his strength was top-notch, invincible among those of the same level. However, that was only for those of the same level. If he wanted to deal with Rank-7 monsters, he would probably not have enough strength! This situation was still very dangerous, but why did he look for Rank-7 monsters with such enthusiasm and not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to issue a mission? Could it be that he was just going to take a look at these Rank-7 monsters and leave after seeing them? That was impossible. They could not understand what Ye Fan was trying to do. Although they were extremely puzzled, they did not rashly ask around. Instead, they buried this doubt in their hearts. After Ye Fan paid the deposit, they prepared to go to the Rock Valley. It had to be said that Wang Jun¡¯s team was called the Rock Hunter Group. Although it was a team, their entire team had only seven people. Among the many hunter group, it was considered an anomaly. However, everyone in their team was quite strong. Their leader, Wang Jun, had also reached Rank-6, so the team could squeeze into the top ranks. But Ye Fan did not care about this. As long as they were familiar with the Rock Valley¡¯s environment and had enough ability to protect themselves, it was fine. He did not care if the other party could help him deal with Rank-7 monsters. After everything was prepared, everyone took a car towards the Rock Valley. Along the way, Ye Fan and the members of the Rock Hunter Group introduced themselves briefly. There were a total of seven people in the team, one woman and six men. Wang Jun was the leader, a Rank-6 Beast Tamer. The deputy leader was called Liu Qing, who was only at Rank-5. The other five were all Rank-5 Beast Tamers. The only girl was called Chen Xiuxiu. She had a special status in the team and was a rare resource-type Beast Tamer. Moreover, her pets were usually supportive. They were usually in charge of supporting and healing their teammates in battle. This Chen Xiuxiu¡¯s appearance was not particularly stunning, but she was very delicate and had a good personality. Along the way, she had been chatting with Ye Fan. It was obvious that she was very interested in him. Ye Fan did not have a cold expression. Instead, he chatted with her patiently. The others had kind expressions and did not feel restrained. They all joined the conversation. After seeing this, Wang Jun sighed in his heart. Ever since the Dragon Bone incident, the Rock Hunter Group had specially returned to the city to learn about Ye Fan¡¯s situation. Chapter 161 - 161 Bodyguards 161 Bodyguards However, this investigation gave them a huge shock. Not only was Ye Fan a first-year student of West Eagle Academy, but he also took the first place and obtained the championship in the league. As expected of the top Rank-6 Beast Tamer among the younger generation in the city. These achievements were clearly shocking. Who wouldn¡¯t call him a genius? At that time, everyone in the hunter group felt that Ye Fan should be an unparalleled genius. They felt deep veneration for him and admired him greatly. Now that they had the chance to meet again, they naturally could not let go of this good opportunity to get close to Ye Fan and get to know him. Although Ye Fan was much younger than any member of the Hunter Group, no one cared because Beast Tamers respected the strong. In the face of absolute strength, everyone did not care about age at all. Moreover, it was not embarrassing to show respect to young experts. Time passed unknowingly. Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the valley. If nothing went wrong, as long as such monsters gathered inside, there would usually be a temporary camp. It might be formed by the military or by adventurers themselves, but the camp they saw was very simple. They guessed that it was the latter. ¡°Old Wang! Why are you here?¡± As soon as Wang Jun and the others got out of the car, they saw a group of people coming over to fight. The man at the front had a rough voice, a burly figure, and a scar on his face. ¡°Didn¡¯t the Rock Hunter Group just come a few days ago? You said you wanted to go to other gathering places to take a look. Why are you here again?¡± Wang Jun and this scar-faced man seemed to have a good relationship. The two of them spoke very easily. ¡°I accepted a mission at the last minute. Now, I have to take my employer for a walk in the valley.¡± The scar-faced man raised his eyebrows. After sizing up the crowd, his gaze landed on Ye Fan. Because there were very few people in the hunter group, everyone was very easy to recognize, only Ye Fan was unfamiliar. Therefore, the employer Wang Jun was talking about should be this young man. ¡°You¡¯re here as a bodyguard!¡± Scarface laughed. Because Ye Fan looked really young, people who didn¡¯t know him well would think that he was a newbie and an ignorant Beast Tamer. Scarface thought so too, so he lost interest in an instant and looked elsewhere. The members of the hunter group were a little embarrassed, because in terms of strength, Ye Fan was much stronger than them. Even if the entire hunter group joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Ye Fan. Thus, there was no way they could be bodyguards for an expert like Ye Fan. On the other hand, Ye Fan was more like a bodyguard for them. But Wang Jun did not explain too much to the scar-faced man. Instead, he looked at Ye Fan casually and found that Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm and he did not take the scar-faced man¡¯s words seriously. Seeing that Ye Fan did not mind, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic. ¡°Old Zhao, why are you still hunting here?¡± The scar-faced man¡¯s name was Zhao Peng, the leader of the Wild Wolves Hunter Group. When he heard this, he opened his mouth and smiled. ¡°Although the monsters here are a little troublesome, their levels are high. They can drop many high-level materials.¡± ¡°If we¡¯re lucky, we may encounter rare elites among monsters and earn a lot.¡± Chen Xiuxiu smiled and exposed the other party¡¯s words. ¡°Those elites are all Rank-7. If you really meet them, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll run away immediately!¡± Zhao Peng did not feel awkward. Instead, he laughed. The two sides chatted for a while before parting ways. Wang Jun did not stay any longer and brought everyone into the Rock Valley. The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically. The lush green outside the valley was beautiful, but the inside of the valley was barren, with only scorched earth and rocks. With just one look, one could tell that the environment in the valley was very harsh. One could imagine what kind of monsters would grow in such an extreme environment. They would definitely be quite ferocious and irritable. The moment they stepped into the valley, Wang Jun and the others immediately entered the hunting state. Their eyes were focused and their faces solemn. They summoned their pets immediately, looking very professional. ¡°Yishan and Wenxing, you two are in charge of bringing up the rear. Old Qin and I will be the vanguard. Xia Ping and the pets will guard the surroundings. Xiuxiu, reinforce them at any time.¡± Wang Jun arranged everything that each member was responsible for. When the members heard their mission, they immediately took action. The pets surrounded everyone in a very stable formation. Ye Fan saw all of this and nodded in his heart. He felt that this was good. He could also relax a little. He did not want to help. Instead, he walked in the middle in peace. The monsters in the Rock Valley were usually Rank-4 to Rank-5. The experience that such a level of monsters could bring to Beast Tamers was very limited. Ye Fan didn¡¯t fancy them now, so he didn¡¯t want to snatch them. Not long after everyone entered, they encountered monsters. The sound of wings flapping could be heard as a large number of giant insects swarmed towards them. They buzzed. These insects were half a meter tall and had very thick tails. ¡°Everyone, be careful. These things are considered high-level Rank-4,¡± Wang Jun said. The members of the Rock Hunter Group had already killed many such insects in this valley, so they could recognize them with a glance. The main reason he said this was to explain to Ye Fan. Moreover, the Bubble Worm¡¯s attack came from the cylindrical organ on its tail. It was similar to soul power impact. Although it was very powerful, it was very easy to defend against. More than thirty Bubble Worms were instantly dealt with by everyone. When Liu Qing and the others were dissecting the materials, Ye Fan suddenly spoke. ¡°Where¡¯s the first stop?¡± Wang Jun and the others had already made arrangements. When they heard this, they took out a hand-made map of the valley and pointed at the place marked by the red circle. ¡°This is the first cave we¡¯re going to. There¡¯s a very ferocious poisonous snake inside. It¡¯s a low-level Rank-7. Attribute: Wind.¡± ¡°This monster can fly with the wind. Its movements are agile and its hiding ability is quite high. It¡¯s very cunning and is good at using the wind to cover its sound! It can launch a sneak attack without its prey noticing. When you encounter it later, you have to be careful.¡± Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood. After collecting the materials, everyone continued on their way. There were many monsters attacking along the way, and the Hunter Group easily dealt with them. Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the entrance of the cave. The cave inside was pitch-black and nothing could be seen. It was like a black hole where nobody would come out after entering. As if sensing that someone was coming, the poisonous snakes in the cave flicked their tongues, and the surrounding air froze. Chapter 162 - 162 Go Get It Yourself 162 Go Get It Yourself Wang Jun and the others immediately entered their state, ready to face the enemy at any time. Only Ye Fan had a calm expression. He looked at the cave with a calm heart, but he did not hesitate to summon Anissa. ¡°The things you want are inside. Go get them yourself!¡± The vampire nodded and happily entered the cave. Soon, her figure disappeared at the entrance. !! Seeing this, Wang Jun and the others were dumbfounded. Then, they couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°The poisonous snake inside is extremely ferocious. Is it very risky to let a pet fight it alone?¡± Everyone had seen Anissa¡¯s ability. Back then, he could kill two Rank-6 pets alone. With this strength, she could be considered the top among her peers, but the poisonous snake in the cave was a Rank-7! Even though this pet was very powerful, it was probably a little risky to face a Rank-7 poisonous snake alone. Just as they were anxious and afraid that Ye Fan¡¯s pet would die inside, they suddenly heard a shrill. This voice came from the cave. It was not difficult to hear that the wail was filled with pain. Everyone was stunned and stared at the entrance of the cave. Not long after, they saw Anissa walk out with something in her hand. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was the corpse of a snake! Therefore, the wail just now came from this poisonous snake! Everyone was dumbfounded. They were shocked by this scene. She killed it so quickly? Before the members could react, everyone was dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with shock as they watched Anissa holding the corpse of the poisonous snake. This Venomous Snake was considered a rather troublesome type of Rank-7 monster. Moreover, it had the attribute of wind. It was agile and had a high hiding ability. It was very difficult to successfully kill it. Moreover, this cave was its nest. There must be many tunnels inside that it knew very well. The terrain must be quite complicated. The cave was very dim. It was not easy to find this poisonous snake in such a dark environment. Even Rank-7 pets wouldn¡¯t be able to gain any advantage in the cave. However, the vampire in front of them could actually kill the Venomous Snake so quickly in less than two minutes. This speed was quite fast. Wang Jun felt puzzled. Everyone knew very well that there was a huge difference in strength between pets. It was not difficult for Rank-3 pets to kill Rank-4 pets. However, it was quite difficult for Rank-6 pets to kill Rank-7 pets. Perhaps not even one in ten thousand Rank-6 pets could have such strength. Wang Jun could clearly tell that this vampire was only at Rank-6, but she could actually easily kill the Rank-7 Venomous Snake. This meant that she had definitely awakened a lot of talents. Only then could her combat strength be powerful enough to defeat monsters that exceeded his level. However, when he thought about how many talents and skills were needed to awaken to reach this combat strength, Wang Jun felt goosebumps. He secretly looked at Ye Fan, feeling very shocked. The other members had the same thoughts. They looked at Ye Fan with respect. At this time, the atmosphere was a little quiet. Ye Fan seemed very normal. He was not surprised at all. This was because the vampire¡¯s combat strength had already reached Rank-7, and it had awakened quite a number of talents. Naturally, this included Dark Vision. Moreover, some of the talents, namely Shadow, and the Moon Oath, was beneficial to battle in the dark. Because of the enhancement of her two talents, she could quickly adapt to the dark environment. Her adaptability far exceeded that of Dark Elves, so the Venomous Snake was nothing in front of her. This incomparably pitch-black hole was the ultimate reason for the Venomous Snake¡¯s defeat. Ye Fan did not explain too much. He took out a glass bottle and handed it to the vampire, letting her take the blood herself. The Venomous Snake was a Rank-7 monster, and it was a snake. After she killed it, it dropped a lot of good materials. Many things could be sold for a high price. Because Ye Fan was too lazy, he asked the members to help him. After they sold it, they would transfer the money to his card. In the total amount, the hunter would be given a commission as payment. This was an easy and profitable thing. Wang Jun and the others definitely had no reason to refuse. After taking out the blood, he immediately dissected the poisonous snake¡¯s corpse. After a while, he finished collecting it and went to the next location. ¡°Where we¡¯re going next, there¡¯s a Flying Tiger. It¡¯s low-level Rank-7, but it¡¯s lightning-elemental.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a pond beside the place where it lives. There are many expensive materials growing by the pond, but the Flying Tiger occupies the place. Ordinary adventurers don¡¯t dare to approach it.¡± Along the way, Chen Xiuxiu smiled and explained the arrangements to Ye Fan. Anissa easily killed the Venomous Snake, exposing her strength. Now, the tense atmosphere in the beginning was gone, and the team was relaxed and happy. Everyone¡¯s expressions were less solemn and they had smiles on their faces. Originally, many people felt that it was a little funny for Ye Fan to look for Rank-7 monsters that were far stronger than him. But now, they no longer had such thoughts. They all admired Ye Fan in their hearts. Geniuses were not just words. They had true ability. Ye Fan¡¯s actions were always unexpected. The things he did were things that ordinary people did not dare to do. Therefore, before the operation, Wang Jun and the others felt that Ye Fan wanted to find Rank-7 monsters to broaden his horizons. However, they did not expect Ye Fan to want to kill so many Rank-7 monsters. Moreover, he did it very easily. It was really shocking. The mission was to find five Rank-7 monsters and kill them. Everyone was still very nervous when they thought of this because it was not easy to kill five Rank-7 monsters in a day. If it was at the start, everyone would think that Ye Fan was daydreaming, but now that they saw it for themselves, they could only exclaim. With Ye Fan¡¯s strength, it was not difficult to complete this goal. Not long after, they approached the Flying Tiger. The soil nearby was much moister, and there were plants not far away. It looked like they were about to arrive. ¡°Across this hill, there¡¯s a pool.¡± Wang Jun raised his hand, and everyone stopped and turned to look at Ye Fan. Ye Fan raised his head: ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t move, wait for me.¡± He instantly brought the vampire towards the hill. At this moment, the roar of the Flying Tiger suddenly came from ahead. Everyone was stunned. Just as they were about to be on guard, they suddenly heard short footsteps. A group of people hurriedly ran out. The two groups of people were stunned when they met. ¡°Old Wang?¡± ¡°Old Zhao?¡± Wang Jun and Zhao Peng¡¯s eyes widened in shock. They didn¡¯t expect that the people who rushed out of the hill were actually the Wild Wolves Hunter Group they had just seen. Chapter 163 - 163 Run Quickly 163 Run Quickly After reacting, Zhao Peng said, ¡°Hurry up and run. The Flying Tiger is chasing us.¡± Wang Jun was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked the other party, ¡°How did you provoke it?¡± ¡°I just took a little of the Thunder Cloud Grass beside the pool. That guy is really protective of its food. It saw us from afar and it chased us all the way.¡± Zhao Peng quickly explained, his tone still a little angry. !! ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the details later. Let¡¯s run quickly. That guy is about to catch up! If we wait any longer, it¡¯ll be too late.¡± The members of the Wild Wolves Hunter Group were all very flustered and uneasy. However, when the people from the Rock Hunter Group heard the other party¡¯s words, they did not panic at all. They even spoke to the other party very calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s no need to run. Sit down and rest.¡± ¡°Old Wang, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zhao Peng saw that Wang Jun and the others were not flustered at all. Instead, they were sitting leisurely and felt that they were crazy. ¡°Flying Tiger, Rank-7! It¡¯s not that useless Bubble Worm!¡± Seeing that it was too late to delay any longer, the members of the Wild Wolves Hunter Group hurriedly interrupted them. ¡°Captain, let¡¯s run quickly. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to escape when that guy comes!¡± Zhao Peng glanced at Wang Jun and reminded him. ¡°I¡¯ve already said what I should. If you want to live, run away quickly. If you really don¡¯t listen, don¡¯t blame me for being disloyal if anything happens!¡± After saying that, Zhao Peng immediately left without looking back. The members behind him followed him closely. Wang Jun and the others were still very calm, looking at Ye Fan¡¯s back. ¡°Oh, you took the initiative to come. You saved me the trouble of looking for you!¡± Ye Fan smiled lightly and walked towards the Flying Tiger, the vampire followed closely behind Ye Fan. After running for a few hundred meters, Zhao Peng still looked back and found that the members of the Rock Hunter Group were not following him. They were just sitting there watching the commotion. ¡°Are Old Wang and the others stupid?¡± Zhao Peng thought to himself. This was because it was impossible for everyone in the Rock Hunter Group to defeat the Flying Tiger together. At most, they would fill the other party¡¯s stomach. If it was any other time, a second-rate hunter group like the Rock Hunter Group would definitely turn around and run when they encountered Rank-7 monsters. But why was it different today? Just now, when he told the other party that the Flying Tiger had caught up, not only were they not worried or afraid, but they also looked very calm. It was really unpredictable. Just as he was guessing, he suddenly heard a deafening tiger roar. Although it was a hundred meters away, the penetration of this sound was very strong. When Zhao Peng and the others heard this, their hearts trembled and they could not help but feel extremely afraid. Looking at the hill a hundred meters away, the huge Flying Tiger had already come out. It roared. ¡°Howl!¡± The Flying Tiger stood on the hill and roared at the sky. Its huge body was as big as a truck. It had sharp teeth, sharp claws, and lines on its forehead. Its entire body was covered in tiger stripes like lightning. With just a glance, he could feel the aura of the other party coming at him, making him tremble in fear. ¡°Are they crazy? Do they think they can defeat a monster of this level?¡± At this moment, Zhao Peng¡¯s mind was filled with incomprehension and fear. He gritted his teeth and turned his head back. He could not bear to see the members of the Rock Hunter Group being tortured and killed by the Flying Tiger. But at this moment, a member shouted. ¡°Look!¡± Zhao Peng paused and turned around to take a curious look. He didn¡¯t expect the employer of the Rock Hunter Group, the young man, to stride towards the Flying Tiger with a humanoid pet beside him. ¡°Is that guy courting death?¡± The members of the Wild Wolf Hunter Group all had the same thought. In their eyes, he looked very young and was just a newbie. Perhaps he was the young master of a rich family who had hired troops to protect him in the Rock Valley to broaden his horizons. Speaking of training, why would a Rank-2 to 3 Beast Tamer choose to train in the Rock Valley filled with Rank-5 monsters? Wasn¡¯t he courting death? Reality was different from games. Experience could not be given just by killing the enemy. If he wanted to train his pets and let them grow, they had to participate in the battle themselves. Even the disciples of the aristocratic families could only challenge monsters that were stronger than them with the protection of an advanced Beast Tamer during training. In the eyes of everyone in the Wild Wolves Hunter Group, Ye Fan was just a profligate son who came here to broaden his horizons. He had nothing better to do than come here, but he actually dared to face the Flying Tiger alone. Zhao Peng and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They even stopped running. ¡°Is this guy out of his mind?¡± ¡°Or is he courting death?¡± ¡°I¡¯m really seeing a ghost. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a reckless newbie in my life.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t the Rock Hunter Group pulling him back but letting him do whatever he wants?¡± Everyone had different expressions as they discussed. Because the members of the Rock Hunter Group did not react to Ye Fan¡¯s actions at all. Rather than saying that they did not react, it was more accurate to say that they were all standing there, watching Ye Fan as if they were watching a show. What was there to watch? Could it be that they wanted to watch that guy be killed by the Flying Tiger? Zhao Peng did not understand. Under everyone¡¯s confused gazes, Ye Fan calmly walked up the hill and looked at the flying tiger calmly. The Flying Tiger seemed to be even more surprised. It felt that this human was actually not afraid of death and dared to be so close to it. Doubt flashed in its eyes. However, with the monster¡¯s intelligence, it could not understand such a question or think of an answer. Thus, not long after, it gave up on thinking about the answer. He let out a long howl and charged towards Ye Fan. Ye Fan was not in a hurry to move, but the pet beside him flashed its eyes and spread a pair of wings on its back. It flapped its wings gently and approached the Flying Tiger as quickly as lightning. In the sky, the vampire cut her palm, and the blood that splattered froze into two long swords. She held the long swords in her hand, ready to fight at any time. The Flying Tiger sensed something amiss and quickly became vigilant. It roared, wanting to intimidate the other party. Giant lightning exploded in the sky. Tens of thousands of lightning bolts could be vaguely seen. The lightning bolts interwove into a very huge net that enveloped Anissa. The sound of lightning cutting through the air was deafening. Faced with this attack, the vampire did not panic. A sharp light flashed and he faced it head-on. Under everyone¡¯s witness, the lightning landed on Anissa. However, what made everyone speechless was that after a flash of light, the lightning disappeared, leaving only the crackling sound of lightning in the air. She stood unscathed, and the Flying Tiger was stunned. The two swords suddenly turned into blood light, tearing the sky apart. Then, they slashed at the Flying Tiger. Chapter 164 - 164 Killing the Flying Tiger 164 Killing the Flying Tiger Blood splattered! The Flying Tiger only let out a scream. It immediately felt that something was wrong and hurriedly took a few steps back. However, there were already two very deep wounds on its back. The wounds revealed its bones, which were about two meters long. Blood gushed out like a fountain. With just a casual move, the Flying Tiger was severely injured. Seeing this, Wang Jun and the others were very shocked. Everyone in the Wild Wolf Hunter Group looked like they had seen a ghost. They were dumbfounded and speechless. !! Was what they saw real? That humanoid pet had seriously injured the Flying Tiger. This Flying Tiger was a Rank-7. Even though they were slow to react, Zhao Peng and the others had more or less understood that the new Beast Tamer in their eyes, the young master of a wealthy family, was not what he looked like. Instead, he was a very powerful expert. Only then did they understand. No wonder the people of the Rock Hunter Group were so calm when they heard that the Flying Tiger was coming. They were not afraid at all. It was because they had a powerful teammate like Ye Fan, so they were not afraid at all. To think that he even thought that the youth was a newbie. He had seen wrongly. Zhao Peng felt awkward. His judgment was too poor. ¡°That youth is too strong!¡± ¡°He can actually suppress the Flying Tiger! Who is he?¡± ¡°And that pet looks like a vampire. It uses blood to fight.¡± ¡°I¡¯m more concerned about who that young man is!¡± After reacting, no one was in a hurry to run. They stood where they were and watched the battle in the distance. They were very shocked and excited. In a battle, Anissa had a high chance of winning. Not only did she have the Blood Swords, but she also had her own black magic. The Flying Tiger was beaten up until it could not resist. Because she had lightning resistance, she directly ignored the other party¡¯s lightning attack. After the damage of the lightning was weakened, even Anissa¡¯s body protection could not be broken. Not long after, the Flying Tiger was already covered in wounds. At this moment, he finally realized that the creature in front of him was very powerful. He was not her match at all. At this moment, the Flying Tiger only wanted to escape. It did not want to continue fighting this impossible opponent. After roaring, the Flying Tiger turned around and fled very nimbly. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. They felt their minds buzzing. Was the escaping Flying Tiger in front of them really the most famous and incomparably ferocious Flying Tiger in the Rock Valley? He actually ran away halfway through the fight! Before they could come back to their senses, Anissa flapped her wings and chased after him. Halfway through, she suddenly raised her hand, and killing intent flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, a skill landed. After being hit, the Flying Tiger let out a low cry, and blood dripped from its entire body. However, this blood seemed to have grown legs. It quickly gathered in Anissa¡¯s hand and turned into a spinning ball of blood. The Flying Tiger had already wilted and stopped in its tracks. In the next second, the blood ball turned into a spear again. The vampire girl suddenly waved the spear in her hand. The spear stabbed forward like lightning, hitting the Flying Tiger¡¯s body. This powerful penetration caused its huge body to fall a few meters away, and the Flying Tiger landed heavily on the ground. Dust rose from the ground, and the Flying Tiger fell to the ground in a sorry state. Its body even twitched a few times before it stopped moving. Its pupils gradually dilated. The surroundings were very quiet now. Everyone was stunned by this scene and did not know what to say. Wang Jun and the others were surprised that Anissa had killed the poisonous snake at an astonishing speed. Now, they had seen with their own eyes how this vampire had crushed the Flying Tiger. This impact was like a heavy blow to the head. Everyone¡¯s minds buzzed and they felt blank. Because they had never seen the scene of killing monsters above their level before, they were all shocked speechless. Wang Jun and the others were so shocked, and the members of the Wild Wolf Hunter Group were even more shocked. The latter was dumbfounded and felt that it was unbelievable. They could not come back to their senses for a long time. Now, Ye Fan¡¯s weight in their hearts became very heavy, and he became tall and mighty. This was simply the admiration of the weak when they saw the strong. Before this, they had never seen a 20-year-old young noob so powerful that Rank-7 monsters could be easily killed. They did not expect such a thing to happen. No matter what, they were quite famous. Zhao Peng and the others had also taken on many missions from the descendants of aristocratic families and taken adventures with them. Many of the descendants of those aristocratic families came from Beast Tamer families. They were all called geniuses at a young age. The most powerful ones were at Rank-6, and they were all a few years older than Ye Fan. They had never seen a young man like Ye Fan with such powerful combat strength. ¡°This is too powerful. This kind of aptitude can¡¯t be underestimated!¡± Zhao Peng and the others did not know how to express their feelings at this moment. At this moment, an adventurer in the team stared at Ye Fan for a long time before saying loudly, ¡°I remember! I remember his name!¡± Everyone looked over curiously. ¡°What¡¯s his name?¡± ¡°Ye Fan, he is Ye Fan, don¡¯t you know?¡± This person was Ye Fan? Everyone was stunned because they definitely knew Ye Fan. There was no Beast Tamer who didn¡¯t know Ye Fan. Most people had only heard of this name and had never seen what Ye Fan looked like in reality. This included the Wild Wolf Hunter Group. This person reminded everyone that because he had seen Ye Fan¡¯s competition in the school tournament. He was sitting quite far away and did not see Ye Fan¡¯s appearance clearly. But now, after seeing Ye Fan¡¯s strength, he thought of something. ¡°He is Ye Fan?¡± After reacting, Zhao Peng looked at Ye Fan in disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s him!¡± the member who spoke confirmed. ¡°How many young people like him have appeared in Chaohai City?¡± How many were there? Including Ye Fan, there was only one. Other than Ye Fan, there was no one else! There were only a few geniuses in their twenties, but there were still some. However, Ye Fan was probably the only Rank-6 Beast Tamer under the age of 20. Other than him, who else had such strength? Everyone immediately came to a realization. This young man looked so young, but he actually had such powerful strength. He was actually Ye Fan, the legendary figure! The chief of the West Eagle Academy, the dark horse of the league, and the youngest Rank-6 Beast Tamer. Ye Fan had many titles now, and every one of them was dazzling. Everyone in the Beast Tamer circle had heard of such a prodigy. Now that they had seen him in person, the members of the Wild Wolves seemed to have seen the legendary protagonist. Chapter 165 - 165 No Need 165 No Need Moreover, they had seen Ye Fan easily kill a Rank-7 monster just now. They were extremely shocked. ¡°So that young man is Ye Fan, no wonder he is like this.¡± ¡°He¡¯s too young. I thought the rumors were just exaggerated.¡± ¡°He¡¯s too strong. He shouldn¡¯t be even 20 years old!¡± !! ¡°This strength is indeed powerful.¡± Exclamations rose and fell. Zhao Peng was also quite shocked, because he had already heard during the school tournament that Ye Fan had advanced to Rank-6. However, it had only been a month since he killed the Rank-7 monster. Not only was he powerful, but his speed of improvement was also terrifying. No wonder he was called a genius, everyone was full of praise in their hearts. Zhao Peng suddenly interrupted everyone¡¯s discussion and led them towards Ye Fan. At this moment, Anissa had already taken out the blood. Ye Fan and Anissa returned to the group and gestured to everyone. ¡°Just like before, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to continue collecting.¡± Everyone quickly walked over with smiles and said that it was alright. After seeing how Ye Fan killed the flying tiger with their own eyes, everyone felt more and more respect for Ye Fan. At this moment, Wang Jun saw that Zhao Peng and the others had returned. He smiled and said to them, ¡°Old Zhao, didn¡¯t you leave? Why did you suddenly come back?¡± Zhao Peng looked rather embarrassed and couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes at him. ¡°Old Wang, you are really something. If you had told me clearly that he was Ye Fan, would we have been in such a hurry to leave?!¡± Wang Jun smiled and did not argue. However, Zhao Peng¡¯s actions just now were still very loyal. He explained the situation in time and stopped them. Still, he ignored Wang Jun and turned to look at Ye Fan with a smile. ¡°Mr. Ye, it¡¯s all thanks to you just now.¡± At this moment, the 30-year-old uncle was addressing a student respectfully with a smile on his face. This scene was very strange to anyone, but no one present felt that it was strange. Instead, they felt that it was very normal. Because no matter where they were, the strong were respected. This was the rule. Ye Fan smiled: ¡°Killing the flying tiger is our target. I didn¡¯t intend to save you.¡± ¡°No matter what, it¡¯s thanks to you that we were saved. We Wild Wolves are all people who know how to repay kindness. Although you might not need us, you can just tell us if you do,¡± Zhao Peng said very warmly, not forgetting to glance at Wang Jun. He recalled that Wang Jun said that they had accepted Ye Fan¡¯s mission to come to the Rock Valley. With Ye Fan¡¯s current strength, he should not need them to participate in the battle. They should be tour guides. But no matter what, what they could do, the Wild Wolf Hunter Group could definitely do it too. Even if they did not need remuneration, it was fine as long as they could build a good relationship with Ye Fan. After all, Ye Fan was a big shot, it was not wrong to cozy up to him. Ye Fan¡¯s future was limitless. If they could get to know him now and build a good relationship, they might be able to rely on Ye Fan in the future. Even if something leaked out from Ye Fan¡¯s fingers, it would be enough for them to eat their fill. Thinking of this, Zhao Peng felt motivated. However, they did not want to snatch the mission from the Rock Hunter Group. Instead, they would be very honored if they could participate. They did not need any remuneration. According to Wang Jun¡¯s past experience, he could tell what Zhao Peng was thinking with just a glance. He pursed his lips: ¡°Old Zhao, we don¡¯t have much time, Ye Fan is also in a hurry to go to the next place, let¡¯s not talk too much¡­¡± Zhao Peng immediately thought about it. ¡°Mr. Ye, are you here to look for monsters? What a coincidence. We¡¯re very familiar with this place too. We can help you. There¡¯s strength in numbers.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Wang Jun was about to speak, but Ye Fan spoke first and directly rejected the other party¡¯s suggestion. He was not a fool. He could tell what Zhao Peng meant. However, he was not interested in socialization. There was no need to waste time on this. As for help¡­ he probably didn¡¯t need it. There were already people leading the way. There was no need for a large group of people to lead the way for him alone. The Rock Hunter Group was enough. It seemed that there was no chance. Zhao Peng sighed helplessly. He only felt regret, but he did not insist. Wang Jun was secretly happy. After chatting with Zhao Peng for a while, he left with everyone. Looking at their backs as they left, the regret on Zhao Peng¡¯s face was obvious. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with the genius.¡± The others nodded, feeling that this was indeed the case. It was really a pity. They had missed this opportunity. Who knew when they would have another chance to talk to Ye Fan. But since Ye Fan personally rejected it, they had no reason to continue asking. But this had nothing to do with asking, they were mainly afraid of making Ye Fan angry. ¡°Let¡¯s go back first and sell the items. We¡¯ve gained something this time.¡± After Zhao Peng sorted out his emotions, he left with everyone. ¡­ After separating from the Wild Wolf Hunter Group, Ye Fan and the others immediately went to their next target. Not long after, he saw the home of the third monster. After all, it was killing monsters above its level. Previously, the Venomous Snake and the Flying Tiger had successfully allowed Anissa¡¯s growth to increase to more than 20%. In other words, it was equivalent to killing more than a hundred Rank-6 monsters, but she had only killed two Rank-7 monsters. In order to maximize efficiency, Ye Fan did not summon any other pets. He planned to let Anissa fight until the end and take all the experience for herself. After killing the fourth monster, Anissa¡¯s growth directly soared to 60%. ¡°This growth is indeed fast. I have to kill monsters above my level. I think ten Rank-7 monsters will be able to max out her growth.¡± Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°However, it¡¯s not easy to find monsters during this period of time. There are only seven or eight in the Rock Valley.¡± Thinking of this¡­ Everyone quickly arrived in front of the mountain wall. At a glance, there was a very large cave at the bottom of the mountain wall. The entrance of the cave was pitch-black, and it seemed to be bottomless inside. However, judging from the entire area of the entrance, the cave in front of them was six to eight times larger than the snake cave, so the cave must be very wide. However, not long after, they smelled a stench drifting out of the cave. It was mixed with the smell of excrement from monsters. It was quite unpleasant, but they could guess that there must be many monsters inside. ¡°There¡¯s a type of Demonic Bat in the cave. It¡¯s only Level 4, but these creatures usually live in groups. I¡¯m afraid there are at least three to five hundred of them in this cave.¡± ¡°Moreover, there must be a Bat King in the cave. It¡¯s the leader of the bats and is an intermediate Rank-7.¡± Wang Jun explained the situation in the cave in detail. Moreover, the information was very detailed, much more detailed than the four Rank-7s. Chapter 166 - 166 Bat Cave 166 Bat Cave After hearing this, Ye Fan looked at the other party with a complicated expression. Wang Jun noticed Ye Fan¡¯s gaze and had an unnatural expression. He hesitated for a moment before continuing: ¡°Actually, we are not only acting as guides on this trip, we also have private arrangements.¡± Ye Fan raised his eyebrows: ¡°Oh? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Wang Jun looked at the cave and said, ¡°The Bat King is a Rank-7 monster, so we classified this cave as one of the target locations. However, I didn¡¯t tell you in advance. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± !! ¡°So we don¡¯t need any remuneration for this mission. We¡¯ll help in the subsequent battles. Do you think that¡¯s okay?¡± Saying so, he carefully looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan pondered for a while. He was a little puzzled at first, because the reward for his mission was quite high, but the Rock Hunter Group usually did not accept missions with such rewards. After all, they preferred the kind of mission where they hunted monsters while collecting materials. However, the mission of the guide was mainly to bring the employer to a safe place and try to avoid fighting monsters. This was not the mission that the Hunter Group yearned for. But now, seeing that the Hunter Group accepted this mission, this was probably the reason. After understanding this, Ye Fan shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine! As long as everyone cooperates with me and completes it according to my requirements.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure!¡± Wang Jun and the others heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed. After a while, Wang Jun said, ¡°The Bat King¡¯s attack skills are mainly sound waves. The cave is a semi-enclosed environment. This is beneficial to sound waves. Why don¡¯t we lure the bats out before attacking?¡± Ye Fan naturally agreed, because luring the bats outside was very simple. After everyone was ready to fight, Wang Jun took out a bamboo incense that was about 20 centimeters long. After lighting it, he placed it at the entrance of the cave. The incense gradually floated into the cave, and the effect was very good. Because there was a huge commotion in the cave in less than three minutes, the bats flapped their wings and let out sharp cries. Not long after, a large group rushed out. Each of these bats was the size of a cat. Their bodies were grayish-black and their faces were terrifying. Thousands of bats flapped their wings and flew out. They looked crazy, as if they were escaping. There was also a very large bat mixed in, four to five times larger than ordinary bats. It had very sharp teeth and an ugly face. This should be the Bat King. When Wang Jun and the others saw this, they immediately prepared to attack. Anissa also spread her wings and flew towards the Bat King. Soon, they began an intense battle. The battle gradually reached its climax. Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the cave. It could be guessed that there was also an intense battle in the cave. Ye Fan frowned slightly and looked at Wang Jun, but Wang Jun had a confused expression. ¡°Did you hear that? What¡¯s that sound coming from the cave?¡± At this moment, they all noticed the commotion in the cave. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Even the Bat King can¡¯t cause such a huge commotion!¡± ¡°Are there other pets in the cave?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, how can the bats come out?¡± Everyone was discussing. Wang Jun looked at Ye Fan, not knowing what he would do. ¡°Ye Fan.¡± Ye Fan hesitated for a while before saying: ¡°Let¡¯s deal with this bat king first.¡± Currently, his goal was only the Bat King. As for what happened in the cave, he would study it after killing the Bat King. Curiosity was not as important as business. After hearing this, everyone pulled their attention back to the battle in front of them. The number of Ghost Bats was much more than everyone had imagined. There were about a thousand of them, which was about ten times more than the number of the hunters. However, in terms of personal strength, the hunters had a huge advantage. Their pets were mostly above Rank-5. Wang Jun¡¯s pets had even reached Rank-6. However, Ghost Bats were usually only Rank-4. Even the Bat King was being stopped by Anissa and did not have the time to deal with them, so they could completely deal with it. After watching for a while, Ye Fan shifted his gaze to Anissa. Anissa had awakened many talents and skills, so her current combat strength was about the same as a high-level Rank-7. Previously, she could quickly kill the Venomous Snake and the Flying Tiger because of her talent. However, now, she could only gain a slight advantage against the intermediate Rank-7 Bat King. This battle would not end so quickly. Looking at this, Ye Fan thought for a while and called Rose out. He planned to let her participate in the battle so that he could end this battle as soon as possible. After Rose appeared, she understood the current situation. Then, she hid in Ye Fan¡¯s arms and pulled his clothes in fear. ¡°Why are there so many bats!!¡± Rose was so afraid that she wanted to cry. Ye Fan found it a little funny. He had almost forgotten that many girls were afraid of bats because bats were very disgusting and gave people goosebumps when they saw them. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. The bats won¡¯t come here.¡± After Ye Fan comforted Rose for a while, he released his soul power to kill a few bats that wanted to come over. After Rose calmed down, Ye Fan asked him to support Anissa. After Rose joined the battle, Anissa¡¯s combat strength increased instantly. The bat king¡¯s combat strength was weakened to below Rank-7. Anissa, who had the upper hand from the beginning, now controlled the entire rhythm of the battle, putting the Bat King in a very sorry state. After evolving to the grown stage, Rose¡¯s buffing skills had strengthened a lot. Moreover, the skills that brought bad luck to the other party and reduced their combat strength had greatly increased. It could cause Rank-7s to drop by two levels. If the enemy was Rank-6, the effect would only be stronger than now. However, to have such a powerful support ability, one had to pay a considerable price. For example, Rose¡¯s combat strength was already weakened to a certain extent. She was almost non-aggressive. Her only attack skill was a large-scale area-of-effect attack. It could be useful against low-level monsters, but it was useless against high-level enemies. In any case, there should be pros and cons. Ye Fan was very satisfied with Rose¡¯s current situation because he had many combat pets. He only had one support-type pet like Rose, so she was very precious to him. As time passed, the battle slowly entered its white-hot stage. Chen Xiuxiu of the Rock Hunter Group was seriously paying attention to the battle at this moment, so that she could provide support at any time. She happened to see the cooperation between Rose and Anissa. As a support-type Beast Tamer, she had quite a number of support-type pets. Chapter 167 - 167 Looks Familiar 167 Looks Familiar However, none of their support abilities could be compared to the Rose in front of them. Oh my god, the intermediate Rank-7 Bat King that Rose was facing was actually easily weakened by two levels by her. In addition, she could also increase the strength of her teammates. The effect of strengthening and weakening was obvious. The combat strength of both sides was already very different. Such a support effect was simply terrifying. Who wouldn¡¯t be surprised to see it? Ever since Chen Xiuxiu became a support-type Beast Tamer, she had never seen anyone with such amazing support. She had learned something today. !! ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that pet? It looks familiar,¡± Chen Xiuxiu muttered to herself. After thinking for a while, her eyes widened. ¡°I remember now. That pet is a Flower Sprite.¡± ¡°A sprite that can rule flowers and plants. It¡¯s a very rare legendary pet.¡± Chen Xiuxiu was very excited. She became very energetic, because as a resource-type Beast Tamer, the pet she wanted most was definitely a Flower Sprite. However, she had only seen this kind of Flower Sprite in books. She had never seen it in the real world. It was almost legendary and very rare. Very few people could recognize it. If not for the fact that she knew a lot about this and had seen pictures of Flower Sprites before, even she would not have been able to recognize them for a while. Moreover, she did not expect to see Flower Sprites here. At this moment, Chen Xiuxiu looked at Ye Fan with envy and shock. ¡°It¡¯s already shocking to have an extremely powerful vampire pet. I¡¯m envious that there¡¯s a legendary pet like the Flower Sprite!¡± If she had not investigated Ye Fan¡¯s identity and knew that he was just an ordinary person, Chen Xiuxiu would have suspected that he was a successor carefully nurtured by some large family. Otherwise, how could he have so many high-level pets? But now, it seemed that Ye Fan was too lucky. ¡°Such outstanding Beast Tamer aptitude and enviable luck¡­¡± Chen Xiuxiu gasped. If she only had one of these two, her future achievements would definitely not be low. But Ye Fan had both, Chen Xiuxiu could not imagine Ye Fan¡¯s future. ¡°This is too powerful!¡± Chen Xiuxiu used this word to describe her shock. However, the moment she spoke, the battle between Anissa and the Bat King came to an end. At this moment, the Blood Swords turned into a red light that tore through the void like lightning and quickly wrapped around the Bat King¡¯s neck. The Bat King was suddenly stunned. Then, a thin red line slowly appeared on its neck. However, in the next second, with this red line as the middle point, its body and head had already separated. As blood splattered, the Bat King¡¯s head fell to the ground and its body fell into a pool of blood. It twitched twice and stopped moving. When the bats saw their leader die, many of them fell into panic and fled towards the cave. Before Wang Jun and the others could stop them, they watched as the bats quickly left the battlefield. At this moment, Ye Fan said, ¡°Anissa!¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± After taking the blood, Anissa replied and turned to look at the fleeing bats. ¡°Blood Boiling!¡± With a bang, all the bats exploded. Before they could scream, they exploded one after another like fireworks. Hundreds of bats turned into blood at this moment. Seeing such powerful combat strength, everyone was dumbfounded. Ye Fan did not care about their reactions. He let Anissa continue fighting. With Anissa¡¯s participation, the bats were almost completely wiped out in less than five minutes. This kind of Rank-4 monsters that lived in groups could not drop any good materials. The Rock Hunter Group did not care at all. They followed Ye Fan into the cave. ¡°It¡¯s the smell of human blood!¡± Just as they approached the cave, Anissa smelled it and told Ye Fan. Everyone was shocked. Ye Fan frowned and walked towards the cave. The cave was very dark. The only light was from the glowing rocks beside the stone wall. The ground was uneven, and there was feces everywhere. The stench was nauseating. Ye Fan calmly passed through this dark passageway as if he did not see anything. Not long after, the world in front of him opened up. Everyone took a closer look and saw that they had already arrived at a very wide cave. The cave was naturally formed and not artificially dug out. However, this cave was more than a hundred meters tall. There were many stalactites hanging upside down from it. Every stalactite was very sharp and had claw marks on it. This should be where the bats lived. However, other than that, there was nothing else in the cave. It was very empty, and the ground was filled with gravel. ¡°Everyone, look!¡± Chen Xiuxiu pointed at a corner and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and their expressions changed drastically. There were actually human corpses, and there were seven or eight of them. The corpses were covered in blood. It looked like they had just died. ¡°Why would a corpse appear here?¡± Liu Qing and the others looked at each other, at a loss. When they got closer and saw the corpses¡¯ appearances, they were even more shocked. Wang Jun¡¯s expression was not any better. His face turned pale and he was even a little angry. Ye Fan was also very shocked. After noticing Ye Fan¡¯s expression, Chen Xiuxiu said, ¡°One of these people sold the information about the Evil Flowers to leader.¡± Ye Fan immediately understood. A smile appeared on his face. It seemed that Wang Jun had been tricked, because these dead people were probably from some hunter group. They deliberately told Wang Jun about the Evil Flowers here to lure the Rock Hunters over. They wanted to sneak in and take the Evil Flowers while the Rock Hunters lured the bats out of the cave. Unfortunately, they must have encountered an accident, so they were completely wiped out. In other words, there should be other Beast Tamers or monsters in this cave. No matter what, the other party clearly did not welcome uninvited guests like them. After coming back to his senses from his anger, Wang Jun immediately understood. Then, he told everyone to be careful. Ye Fan turned around and looked at Anissa. Anissa immediately understood what Ye Fan meant. She sniffed and pointed to the right. ¡°The smell of blood spread to that place.¡± Everyone looked over and immediately discovered an inconspicuous hole. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Ye Fan said as he walked over. Wang Jun and the others were slow for a while before following. They had not found the Evil Flower, but they had already come this far. There was no reason for them to give up now. Moreover, they were very curious about what kind of monster could kill everyone in this Hunter Group. Chapter 168 - 168 Appearance of the Fallen 168 Appearance of the Fallen Not long after, everyone entered the passageway. The fluorescent stones on the stone walls could illuminate the passageway. Everyone could see many messy footprints inside, including some wet blood. Everything here hinted that there should have been a pursuit here not long ago. If their guess was right, the person being chased was probably the companion of the people outside. This passageway was very short. It did not take long for everyone to reach the end. After exiting the cave, everyone saw a huge cave that was not inferior to the previous cave. This cave was even wider. !! When Ye Fan entered, the battle in front of him was just about to end. In the middle of the cave, an ugly multi-eyed demon bit a man¡¯s head with its bloody mouth and suddenly swung its neck. Then, a crisp tearing sound was heard. The person who was bitten was decapitated. Warm blood splattered everywhere, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. ¡°Someone came again?¡± A hoarse and withered voice sounded. Ye Fan heard the sound and looked over. Ten meters away from the multi-eyed demon, there were still a few people standing there. There was a tall one, about two meters tall, hiding in a wide black cloak, not revealing his appearance at all. Even so, he exuded a different sense of oppression. Ye Fan was curious. Beast Tamers with weak bodies rarely gave off such a feeling. The other two people were an old man and a middle-aged man. The old man¡¯s thin face was covered in wrinkles, and his muddy eyes were shining. As for the middle-aged man, he looked a little fat. He was smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile. Such a cold gaze was extremely similar to a snake¡¯s cold eyes. Those who were targeted would involuntarily feel cold. The middle-aged man had said that just now. ¡°This cave should be very hidden. Why are there people coming one after another?¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s tone was frivolous as he sized up the people around Ye Fan. Wang Jun frowned, his face filled with vigilance. ¡°Who are you?¡± The three people in front of him were unknown, but they gave off a very bad feeling. ¡°You¡¯re about to die. It¡¯s useless to know so much.¡± The middle-aged man smiled, but his words made Wang Jun and the others¡¯ faces darken. But Ye Fan¡¯s gaze was calm. His expression was indifferent as he looked at the three of them in deep thought. Not to mention this cloaked man, he kept feeling that there was a familiar aura on this middle-aged man and the old man. At this moment, Anissa suddenly approached Ye Fan. ¡°Those two have the scent of the Fallen.¡± Ye Fan paused, before coming to a realization, he finally understood where this familiar feeling came from. He then glanced at the Multi-eyed Demon, whose body also emitted a very faint evil aura. Ye Fan smiled: ¡°There are actually Fallens hidden in such a place. You are probably the Hand of the Abyss, right?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s sudden words stunned the members of the Rock Hunter Group. After everyone reacted, their expressions changed as they looked at the middle-aged man and the thin old man in shock. They did not expect the infamous disciples of the Hand of the Abyss to be hidden here! This news was really incredible! Wang Jun and the others immediately acted as if they were facing a great enemy and looked around nervously. The Fallen liked to cause terrorist events. The Hand of the Abyss was the most capable among them. They especially liked to plan a terrorist event in a hidden place. Almost every time they attacked, they could cause a large number of deaths, which was hated by countless Beast Tamers. The current situation was very in line with this situation. The two believers hiding in this cave were probably plotting something. Thinking of this, Wang Jun and the others complained in their hearts. They originally wanted to accept a mission with low risk, but they happened to encounter such an unlucky thing. The other party was the Hand of the Abyss!! They were probably all going to die here. They were really unlucky. At this moment, they felt bitter. The middle-aged man and the old man both looked at Ye Fan. They didn¡¯t care about Ye Fan at first, because he looked very young. They felt that he was just a new Beast Tamer and was very unnoticeable in the Rock Hunter Group. But just now, Ye Fan exposed their true identity. Only then did the two of them notice Ye Fan. Then, they took a closer look and were stunned. The middle-aged man reacted quickly and immediately recognized the other party. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± The old man also narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Fan carefully. After the Hand of the Abyss¡¯s stronghold was destroyed, Ye Fan was not only famous in the military, but also famous in the sect. In the entire Chaohai City, the person the Hand of the Abyss wanted to kill the most was Ye Fan. If he was ranked second, no one would dare to be first. The higher-ups of the sect knew very well that if they allowed a genius like Ye Fan to continue growing, he would definitely become the greatest threat to the sect in the near future. Such a person had to be killed before it was too late. This idea was excellent, but it was not easy to implement, because Ye Fan¡¯s whereabouts were usually hard to figure out. He could either stay in the academy or go outside the city to train. Normally, they didn¡¯t have the ability to enter the academy. They could only find an opportunity to attack outside the city. However, they knew Ye Fan¡¯s strength very well. He had become a Rank-6 Beast Tamer at such a young age. Ordinary small fries could not deal with Ye Fan even if they saw him. Other than the upper echelons of the sect, no one else had the ability to do so. But there were very few people in the upper echelons. They all had their own missions. No one could keep an eye on Ye Fan. Ordinary disciples could not chase after Ye Fan in the wilderness without being discovered. Thus, as time passed, Ye Fan became a hot potato in the sect. He was troublesome to deal with, but they had to deal with him. They did not expect to see Ye Fan here, the two of them looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. This was a great opportunity to get rid of Ye Fan, and it was a rare opportunity. ¡°Our luck is really good. Our target has personally come knocking on our door. How can there be such a good thing?¡± The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He could not hide it on the surface and laughed. ¡°We¡¯ve wanted to get rid of you for a long time. Since you took the initiative to come over today, we won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± The old man also looked at Ye Fan with a sinister expression, mocking: ¡°You chose to come to such a small place to die instead of walking on the main road. To put it bluntly, you are unlucky and are going to die here today.¡± They echoed each other as if they were giving Ye Fan a death sentence. Their gazes were like they were looking at a corpse, and they had such strength and confidence. This was because as Rank-1 cadres of the Hand of the Abyss, the two of them were Rank-7. Chapter 169 - 169 I Have to Get It 169 I Have to Get It However, Ye Fan had just advanced to Rank-6, and he had advanced in the league a month ago. So what if he was talented? He could win against Rank-6 Beast Tamers, but against two Rank-7 Beast Tamers, he would probably be unlucky! As long as that person thought of killing Ye Fan and obtaining credit and rewards in the sect, his heart would boil, and he could not wait. They looked at Ye Fan with killing intent, like tigers looking at their prey. !! The surrounding air suddenly became heavy. Wang Jun¡¯s face was pale as he carefully looked at the two Fallens. His forehead was constantly covered in sweat. The two people in front of him made him feel very dangerous. This was his intuition from many years of experience. In fact, even if he couldn¡¯t feel anything, he could roughly guess that the Multi-Eyed Demon had a powerful Rank-7 aura, which meant that one of the two people in front of him was definitely a Rank-7 Beast Tamer. The two of them were not inferior to each other. It was very likely that they were both Rank-7. Moreover, there was a cloaked person beside them. The situation was not good. ¡°What should we do now?¡± Some members were already panicking. The others were also pale and at a loss. When Wang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly. What else could he do now? He could only fight to the death. Could it be that these two cultists could let them go? Obviously not. However, even if all of them joined forces, they would not have any chance of winning against these two Rank-7 Fallen Ones. However, Ye Fan had the ability to fight against Rank-7 monsters. Rank-7 monsters and Rank-7 Beast Tamers were two completely different concepts. A Beast Tamer had multiple Rank-7 pets. Ye Fan could only block one at most. What should he do with the rest? The strongest person in the Rock Hunter Group was Wang Jun, but he was only Rank-6. The others were only Rank-5. If they worked together to deal with this Rank-7 Fallen, they would probably be completely wiped out in less than five minutes. Then, with two Rank-7s attacking Ye Fan, Ye Fan would still die. No matter what they chose, there was no way out. When everyone thought of this, they felt incomparably despair. Chen Xiuxiu was the same. She looked at Ye Fan worriedly, but to her surprise, Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm. He did not care about these three people at all. She asked curiously: ¡°Ye Fan, the situation is not good for us. Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Ye Fan asked in amusement. ¡°What¡¯s there to worry about? They¡¯re just two pieces of trash!¡± Chen Xiuxiu was shocked speechless. Good lord, the two people in front of him were both Rank-7, and they were both fallen people who killed without batting an eyelid. In Ye Fan¡¯s eyes, they were actually just trash. It seemed that geniuses had different thoughts from ordinary people like them. Could it be that Ye Fan had a way to deal with these two? Chen Xiuxiu¡¯s hope was ignited, but it was impossible. Although Ye Fan was a genius, he was still too young. Although Rank-6 Beast Tamers were powerful, they could not compare to Rank-7 Beast Tamers. Moreover, there were two Rank-7s in front of him. It was even more likely that there were three! After Ye Fan answered this question, everyone was shocked, and so was the other party. Everyone in the Rock Hunter Group felt that Ye Fan was bragging. Although Ye Fan was very strong, he was not strong enough to deal with two or three Rank-7s alone. The middle-aged man and the old man frowned in unison. They felt that this young man was really ignorant. He still dared to say such words at the brink of death. ¡°Do you know the price of underestimating us?¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a fledgling kid. Do you think you¡¯re invincible just because you¡¯re lucky a few times? How dare you spout nonsense in front of us? What a joke!¡± Killing intent flashed in their eyes. Then, the middle-aged man took action first. ¡°Crack Demon! Get rid of this brat!¡± After receiving the order, the multi-eyed demon not far away immediately flapped its wings as if it had seen food and pounced at Ye Fan. Before it arrived, the stench from the demon¡¯s body had already assaulted their faces. It was so smelly that they wanted to vomit. Without Ye Fan¡¯s instructions, Anissa directly moved and disappeared in the next second. When she appeared again, she was already in front of the Crack Demon. She held the blood sword in her hand. The blood sword instantly turned into red lightning and attacked the Crack Demon. The two sides quickly fought. The Crack Demon was an intermediate Rank-7, and its combat strength was like the Bat King. Not long after the battle began, it was suppressed by Anissa. ¡°How could this be?¡± The middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. This vampire should only be a Rank-6. How could he suppress the Crack Demon? What was going on? The old man took a closer look and pointed at Anissa. ¡°It¡¯s said that many of that kid¡¯s pets have awakened many talents and skills. Their combat strength has long exceeded their levels. I think this vampire is one of them.¡± ¡°Red Seven, don¡¯t hold back. Summon all your pets. Otherwise, this kid will seize the opportunity.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s name was Red Seven. When he heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I know. I don¡¯t need you to tell me!¡± Then, light flashed around him, and two pets appeared one after another. The first one was only five meters tall and as strong as an ox, but it was in human form. The muscles on its body were incomparably firm. The other one was like a rat that had been magnified many times, but its skin was as ugly and disgusting as mud. Wang Jun was knowledgeable and immediately recognized these two monsters. He was very shocked. ¡°It¡¯s the Fallen Demon and the Black Water Demon!¡± After hearing the names of the pets, everyone was shocked, because both of them were intermediate Rank-7. There was already one Rank-7. Now that there were two more, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. They did not know what to do next. The Fallen Demon and Black Water Demon rushed towards Ye Fan in an orderly manner. Their auras were extremely oppressive, Wang Jun and the others¡¯ expressions changed drastically. They were at a loss. ¡°What should we do now? The other party is already charging over!¡± ¡°Summon your pets!¡± ¡°The other party is a Rank-7! Even if we summon our pets, it won¡¯t help!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over this time!¡± Everyone in the Rock Hunter Group was in chaos. Despair was vividly displayed on their faces. Wang Jun was also anxious, but at the critical moment, he had to calm down and comfort his teammates. Just as he was about to summon his pets to fight the enemy, he saw two figures appear beside Ye Fan and was stunned. One was a humanoid pet covered in flames, and the other was a woman in a red and white kimono with a unique aura. ¡°Why is it this kind of monster again? Master has encountered fallen people too many times!¡± Seeing the person¡¯s face clearly, Little Nine was surprised. Ye Fan spread his hands: ¡°Who would want to>! These guys are disgusting. They are everywhere.¡± ¡°Then let me beat them up and make them disappear completely!¡± Chapter 170 - 170 This is Crushing, Right? 170 This is Crushing, Right? Little Nine laughed. Her stunning appearance dumbfounded everyone around her. It was as if they had seen a peerless beauty. Even Chen Xiuxiu could not look away. Ye Fan was already used to it, but when he saw the gazes of others, he found it funny. However, the two monsters in front of them did not know what beauty was. They ran towards them with killing intent. The corners of Little Nine¡¯s mouth curled up. A few spirit talismans appeared beside her and slowly spun faster and faster. Then, they flew towards the Black Water Demon like sharp arrows and stuck to its body. !! Fox Seal! In the next second, a strong explosion sounded. Spiritual energy fluctuations instantly annihilated the Black Water Demon. Smoke filled the air, and everyone could not see the situation in front of them. They could only hear howls. The Duke of Hellfire also summoned his mount and used his ultimate move. The scarlet fluctuation seemed to be able to split the world apart. In an instant, it could cross more than ten meters and attack the Fallen Demon. The Fallen Demon was sent flying more than ten meters away. It was about to fall to the ground. Before it could land, the Duke had already charged at it with a spear. In an instant, the two demons, who had been menacing just now, were in a sorry state. Little Nine and the Duke attacked from both sides fiercely, catching the other party off guard. When everyone saw this scene, they were dumbfounded. They felt that the scene in front of them was not real. This was too heaven-defying. They could not react for a long time. ¡°This is too powerful!!¡± Chen Xiuxiu said in disbelief. The vampire and the Flower Sprite had already shocked her. Now, there were two pets that were not inferior to the previous two. She was so shocked that she could not say a word. ¡°This is too powerful!¡± ¡°Any pet can fight above its level!¡± ¡°And it¡¯s a crushing defeat!¡± ¡°Did he cheat?¡± The people of the Rock Hunter Group sighed, excited and envious. Because Ye Fan¡¯s strength was far beyond their expectations, every time he displayed it, they would feel extremely shocked. After the surprise, Wang Jun was a little worried because there was more than one Rank-7 Fallen. ¡°The pets summoned by this brat are all strange!¡± Red Seven looked at Ye Fan with hatred. The initial smile had completely disappeared. At this moment, there was only anger and resentment on his face. Why was Ye Fan so strong? The old man glanced at him. ¡°Let¡¯s go together. There¡¯s no need to waste time with him.¡± Red Seven didn¡¯t refuse at this moment. He had other pets. However, those were all Rank-6. It was useless to summon them. Not all Rank-6 pets were the same as Ye Fan¡¯s. They were strange and could challenge opponents of a higher level. Now that it was a Rank-7 battle, even if he summoned the pets, he would have sacrificed them for nothing. It would be useless. The old man also summoned his pets. With a flash of white light, two moaning figures appeared. Although the former was humanoid, its mouth was full of tusks, its facial features were ugly, and its entire body emitted the smell of blood. This was called the Poison Blood Demon, and it was a high-level Rank-7. The latter was similar to a bat, but it had a pair of very thick arms and extremely sharp claws. This one was called the Night Blood Demon, an intermediate Rank-7. The two pets charged forward as soon as they appeared. They only wanted to defeat their targets. ¡°Two more!!¡± Everyone exclaimed. The joy from before instantly disappeared, and then they were very worried. Chen Xiuxiu¡¯s face turned pale. She quickly looked at Ye Fan. Just like before, Ye Fan¡¯s expression was very calm. With a flash of white light, two more pets appeared beside Ye Fan. One was a skeleton, and the other was the Firmament King. Looking at this scene, be it the members of the Rock Hunter Group or Red Seven and the old man, they were deeply shocked. The latter two, in particular, felt a headache. Could it be that they were another two powerful pets that could cross ranks? As soon as this thought flashed through their minds, they felt that it was impossible and rejected their idea. Ye Fan had just advanced not long ago. It was impossible for all his pets to evolve to Rank-6. Even if they evolved, it was impossible for all pets to fight above their level. If that was really the case, it was too unbelievable. Ordinary people would not be able to do this. Therefore, the two of them were much more at ease. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the skeleton pulled out a pair of bone knives and slowly walked forward. The Poison Blood Demon that rushed over punched the skeleton, making a very crisp sound as if it had punched steel. However, the skeleton was not affected at all. It slashed at the Poison Blood Demon. Although the protective light blocked the blade, the power contained in the blade was not blocked. With a loud bang, the Poison Blood Demon fell far away as if it had been bombarded. It grunted and smashed into the wall. At this moment, the Firmament King roared. Then, its dragon might directly crushed the Night Blood Demon. At this moment, the sharp blade and lightning appeared in the air and surged towards the Night Blood Demon. Seeing that Skeleton and the Firmament King actually had such powerful strength, everyone was stunned. Red Seven and the old man felt that the scene in front of them was simply unbelievable. The two pets that Ye Fan summoned just now could actually fight above their level. Such powerful pets came one after another, they were deeply shocked. How unlucky!! Intense battles sounded one after another in the empty cave. The explosions caused the ground to be riddled with holes, and gravel flew everywhere. At this time, no one noticed this. Everyone was immersed in the shock Ye Fan gave them. No one would have thought that Ye Fan, who was only at Rank-6, would be able to fight above his level every time he summoned a pet. Moreover, even the only support pet he had that didn¡¯t have any combat strength was shockingly powerful. The shocking fact that the five hostile Rank-7 pets had been weakened by two levels made everyone feel that it was ridiculous and unreal. ¡°Is this Ye Fan¡¯s strength?¡± Chen Xiuxiu muttered to herself in shock. The other members were also stunned. Ye Fan could actually block the two Rank-7s in front of him alone. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that this was true. ¡°This is too powerful.¡± ¡°Every pet is so powerful. How did he train them?¡± ¡°He can dominate the entire arena even when fighting someone of a higher level. He¡¯s too strong.¡± ¡°As expected of a peerless genius praised by everyone.¡± Everyone praised repeatedly. Wang Jun was also very shocked. His expression was filled with reverence. Although he knew that Ye Fan was very strong, the ability Ye Fan displayed now had exceeded his expectations. ¡°With such strength, he can probably be considered the top among the younger generation.¡± Chapter 171 - 171 No Other Means, Right? 171 No Other Means, Right? This thought flashed through Wang Jun¡¯s mind. On the other side, after recovering from the shock and anger, red Seven and the old man¡¯s faces were pale, black and white. They felt awful anyway. Towards Ye Fan, they had no choice but to prepare seriously. In the beginning, they felt that the sect was making a mountain out of a molehill by being so afraid of Ye Fan. They felt that there was no need. But now, after seeing Ye Fan¡¯s true strength, they could not help but look at him seriously, because Ye Fan¡¯s strength was the best among this batch of youths. He was so powerful that it was terrifying. !! He was not even 20 years old, but he could actually resist the two of them working together. He was already so powerful now. If he grew up in a few years, his strength should have a qualitative leap. Just thinking about it made one¡¯s scalp tingle. Thus, being a huge threat, Ye Fan should be killed in the cradle. Otherwise, who knew how much he would grow in the future. The two of them had the same thoughts in their minds, and their eyes instantly emitted killing intent. At this moment, Black Robe, who had been watching from the side without saying a word, finally spoke. ¡°The two of you seem to be struggling. Do you need my help?¡± His voice was extremely low and hoarse, and he did not sound like a human. Red Seven frowned and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to do anything. We can handle it. It¡¯s just a stubborn monkey!¡± His tone was filled with respect. After hearing his words, Black Robe did not say anything else. Red Seven turned to look at the old man and said, ¡°Old Lin!¡± Old Lin immediately understood what the other party meant and continued to summon his pets. Even though Ye Fan¡¯s current strength far exceeded their expectations, they were not worried at all. Instead, they were angry and shocked. No matter what, Ye Fan was only a Rank-6 Beast Tamer. No matter how talented he was, there was a limit to the number of pets he could subdue. At most, he could only subdue six. At this moment, he had already shown five combat pets and one support-type pet. There were exactly six. In other words, Ye Fan¡¯s six pets had all come out, and he had no other pets. Now, as long as another Rank-7 pet appeared, it would be able to crush Ye Fan in minutes. Coincidentally, he still had three of them. The chances of winning were obvious. Without a doubt, Ye Fan would definitely lose. ¡°Let¡¯s see what other ways you have!¡± After Old Lin sneered, light flashed around him, and then a ferocious pet appeared. This was a huge creature with a goat¡¯s head and a rotten body. This creature was the Dust Abyss Killer, an intermediate Rank-7. Moreover, its roar was very intimidating, and the entire cave echoed. The Dust Abyss Killer held the three-pronged halberd and charged towards Ye Fan, a ruthless aura spread in all directions. Seeing this scene, Wang Jun and the others finally reacted. They were so frightened that they did not know what to do, because Ye Fan only had one support-type pet with him now. The other pets had joined the battle and were too busy to do anything. This also meant that Ye Fan did not have extra combat strength to deal with this Rank-7 monster! The situation immediately became tense. The faces of the members of the Rock Hunter Group turned pale in an instant, and they were incomparably flustered. Seeing this, the old man and Red Seven laughed happily. ¡°Let¡¯s see what else you can do. Your pets are too busy to split up. You don¡¯t have any other methods apart from soul power, right?¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s see if your soul power is as powerful as your pets! Hahaha!¡± Red Seven and the other¡¯s mockery was too obvious. They thought that Ye Fan would fly into a rage out of humiliation, but not only was he not angry, he even laughed. His laughter was crisp and magnetic. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s nothing wrong with letting you see it!¡± Saying so, Ye Fan activated his magnificent soul power. At this moment, everyone¡¯s level was not low, they could immediately feel how great Ye Fan¡¯s soul power was. ¡°What!¡± The old man and Red Seven¡¯s expressions tightened. Before they could react, they saw that Ye Fan had already controlled his soul power to slash towards the Dust Abyss Killer. In an instant, it was as if there were countless invisible chains that locked the Dust Abyss Killer tightly, preventing him from escaping. ¡°Roar¡­¡± No matter how hard the Dust Abyss Killer struggled, he could not break free. Seeing this, the two of them found it unbelievable. ¡°He can actually lock down the Dust Abyss Killer with just soul power!¡± Red Seven found it too strange. Ye Fan was only at Rank-6, but he could lock a Rank-7 pet with his soul power. No one would believe it. However, what he did not know was that the terrifying thing was still to come! Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ye Fan gently raised his palm and waved it towards the abyss. Suddenly, a loud sound and an energy wave flew towards the Dust Abyss Killer. This energy was very powerful, and the vibration was so loud that everyone¡¯s ears seemed to be attacked. The entire cave shook. The stalactites on the cave fell to the ground and shattered. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the shock wave spread for 50 to 60 meters before slowly stopping. When everyone saw the scene in front of them clearly, they realized that the Dust Abyss Killer had long disappeared, leaving only a deep ditch underground. Everyone was incomparably shocked and in disbelief. They were dumbfounded and could not come back to their senses for a long time. This ultimate Rank-7 monster¡¯s level was not low, but it was actually shattered by Ye Fan¡¯s soul power without any traces. No one had expected such an outcome. The members of the Rock Hunter Group took a long time to come back to their senses. They were all dumbfounded. ¡°Was that an illusion?¡± ¡°Could everyone be hallucinating?¡± ¡°That¡¯s an intermediate Rank-7 monster. It was actually shattered by a single soul power attack. This is too unacceptable.¡± ¡°Even a Rank 9 Beast Tamer can¡¯t be so good at soul power.¡± Everyone was very shocked, their hearts shaken. They had already seen Ye Fan¡¯s strength in the Dragon Valley. At that time, everyone was already very shocked that Ye Fan¡¯s soul power could instantly kill Rank-6 pets. They didn¡¯t expect Ye Fan to be able to achieve such a feat in just two months. His growth was quite fast. It was too shocking that a Rank-7 pet could burn to ashes without being able to resist his soul power. Until now, no one had ever seen anyone with such powerful soul power, let alone Ye Fan, who was less than 20 years old. Everyone present had the same thought. The Rock Hunter Group and the old man were dumbfounded, feeling that they could not accept the scene in front of them. The old man had cultivated Soul Techniques for more than 40 years and had never seen such a powerful person. At this moment, he was really shocked. Chapter 172 - 172 Is This Still Human? 172 Is This Still Human? ¡°This¡­ No way¡­ Soul Technique¡­¡± The old man stammered. Red Seven was the same. He had never seen such a situation before. This was the first time he had seen it. Both of them looked like they had seen a ghost. The old man thought to himself that even after cultivating for so many years, he could not kill a Rank-7 like Ye Fan. Even if it was not a Rank-7 but a Rank-6, he might not be able to do it. Beast Tamers didn¡¯t rely on soul power. Instead, they relied on their pets. Therefore, it was normal for everyone¡¯s Soul Power to be weak. !! But what was wrong with Ye Fan? Why was his Soul Power so extraordinary? Was he still human? Even if he cultivated since he was young, he could not reach this level. Could it be that he had started cultivating since he was born? They could not accept the current scene. They felt their minds go blank. Originally, victory was in their grasp, but now, it seemed like they were confused again. Their chances of winning were no longer too obvious. ¡°Damn it, why is this kid so strange!¡± Red Seven was extremely flustered. He gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Fan. He now completely understood why the higher-ups valued and feared Ye Fan so much. This guy could not be underestimated. He was not easy to deal with. Rather than calling him a genius, he was more like a monster. No wonder so many disciples of the sect died in Ye Fan¡¯s hands. ¡°We don¡¯t have any other Rank-7 pets now.¡± Old Lin¡¯s eyes darkened. Red Seven also reacted. They actually knew that even if they had other Rank-7 pets, it would be useless. Ye Fan could easily kill the Dust Abyss Killer as if he was dealing with a small fry. They could not threaten Ye Fan at all. Such powerful and terrifying strength, Ye Fan did not think of using it at first, this meant that he treated this battle as a joke. In other words, Ye Fan had not taken them seriously at all. The two of them thought that victory was in their hands. Their arrogant appearance at the beginning might be like clowns in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. At the thought of this, the two of them felt their faces burn. They flew into a rage out of humiliation and inexplicable anger ignited in their hearts. However, they had no choice now. After looking at each other, their eyes flickered with hesitation. Suddenly, a sorrowful howl sounded. The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that the Crack Demon¡¯s head had been cut off by the blood sword. After Anissa retracted her sword, she only flicked off the monster¡¯s blood. The pool of blood on the ground suddenly solidified, forming many sharp shapes. Then, they shot out like lasers, turning the head into hedgehogs. Even a demon with such tenacious vitality could only die in her hands. The vampire battle had ended. She turned to look at the old man and his companion. Her cold red eyes were like a deep pool, emitting a cold light. Seeing that, the two of them changed their expressions. They looked at the other demons and saw that they were not in a good situation. Their pets were almost at a disadvantage. If Anissa went to help at this time, their pets would be in a state of disunity. Not long ago, this situation was the other way around. The person in deep danger was Ye Fan, but now it was them. Thinking of this, their palms were sweating and their backs were drenched. The two of them stopped trying to be brave and said to Black Robe. ¡°Sir, please help us!¡± A second ago, they had said that they did not need the other party¡¯s help, but now, they were immediately slapped in the face. They lowered their heads in shame, but compared to their dignity, their lives were more important now. After hearing this, Black Robe nodded and decided to attack. He tore off his robe with one hand, revealing his incomparably agile body. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± After seeing Black Robe¡¯s true appearance, Chen Xiuxiu was shocked. The others also widened their eyes in disbelief, as if they had seen something strange. That was indeed the case now, because the true appearance of this black-robed man was completely different from ordinary people. Although he had four limbs and facial features, his skin was dark red. Moreover, it did not seem to be skin, as if it was some kind of metal. In addition to this, his eyes were also the color of blood, and there were two very sharp grayish-white horns on his head. He stood there without moving, but his entire body emitted a violent aura. It was obvious that he was a demon. Everyone felt that this thing was not human at all, but a demon. ¡°He¡¯s definitely not human!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s human either. Could it be a monster? But it doesn¡¯t look like it either.¡± ¡°What else could it be?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine what it is, but this thing doesn¡¯t give off a good feeling.¡± ¡°I think so too.¡± Everyone discussed animatedly and looked at the true appearance of the black robe in shock. Ye Fan also frowned slightly. He sized up the other party before slowly asking. ¡°A monster?¡± The black-robed man opened his mouth and smiled, his eyes filled with disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t compare those low-level creatures to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Lunn. I¡¯m a demonic human.¡± What was a demonic human? Wang Jun and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion. This was because they had never heard of such a race. Ye Fan was also a little surprised, but after searching his mind, he still did not find any impressions of demonic humans. ¡°Could it be a race that hasn¡¯t appeared so far?¡± The creature in front of him, who called itself a demonic human, did indeed exude a temperament that was different from that of monsters. However, if one had to say, this aura was a little similar to human civilization. Ye Fan sighed and silently used the system to check the information. Soon, the system reacted. Atlantean Demonic Human, early-stage Rank-8. The system could only check Ye Fan¡¯s personal information or the information of some monsters and battle pets. However, the system could recognize demons, which meant that even if the demonic human was not a monster, it should be related to them. ¡°It should be a civilization that evolved from demons to the present.¡± Ye Fan guessed. ¡°However, the evil aura on this thing is faint. If it evolved from a monster, it¡¯s probably an evil monster. That¡¯s why it hung around with the Dust Abyss Killer.¡± Ye Fan had no interest in continuing to investigate. After all, even if it was a mysterious race, the military should get to know it. What he needed to do now was to deal with this demonic human that was of no use to them. At most, he would leave the corpse of this demonic human to the military. Demon Lunn probably had the same thought. After revealing his identity, his blood-red eyes stared at Ye Fan. Chapter 173 - 173 This Monster Is Quite Bold 173 This Monster Is Quite Bold The corners of his mouth opened, revealing a frivolous and terrifying smile. ¡°Ever since I came to this world, I¡¯ve been staying in this cave that doesn¡¯t see the light of day. It¡¯s extremely dark and stuffy. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so lively today. Your strength seems to be not bad. Come play with me and relieve my boredom!¡± ¡°This monster is quite arrogant.¡± Little Nine had already finished dealing with her opponent and came to Ye Fan¡¯s side. She narrowed her eyes at Lunn and curled her lips in disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t say that it¡¯s just for fun. If you need it, I can send you back to your world directly. I¡¯m very happy to help.¡± Lunn was not angry at all. He looked at Ye Fan playfully. ¡°According to the power classification you set, my combat strength is probably around Rank 8.¡± ¡°This level shouldn¡¯t be very strong, but it¡¯s more than enough to deal with you. So far, the combat strength you¡¯ve displayed is probably only Rank-7. Am I right?¡± After saying this, Wang Jun and the others took a deep breath and were a little flustered. The monster in front of him was actually at Rank 8!! This was really impressive. Little Nine¡¯s vision was also a little serious. She sighed at how Lunn¡¯s combat strength was so powerful. Unlike Ye Fan, she did not have the system to find out the enemy¡¯s rank in time. But Ye Fan¡¯s expression was unaffected by his words. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re right,¡± Red Seven said with a fawning smile. Next, he looked at Ye Fan with a vicious and resentful gaze. ¡°This kid¡¯s strength is only Rank-6. Although his combat strength is at the Rank-7 level, he¡¯s definitely not your match.¡± Red Seven¡¯s words were very certain. But now, everyone was thinking this, other than Ye Fan. After all, the higher the rank, the greater the difference in strength between each two ranks. Ye Fan¡¯s pet could fight above its level because it had awakened a lot of talents and skills. However, no matter how powerful it was, it could not defeat an eighth rank. This was the difference in combat strength. Although Ye Fan had extremely magnificent Soul Power, it was still the same. Although it could restrain the Dust Abyss Killer, for Lunn, he only needed to exert a little strength to break free from this restraint. It would take less than half a second. The effect of the Soul Power shock wave was not much stronger, so no matter how one looked at it, Ye Fan was not Lunn¡¯s match. Now that the situation was clear, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became incomparably heavy. Red Seven and the old man looked at Ye Fan mockingly, their eyes filled with pride. Only Lunn¡¯s expression was indifferent, the ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness in his eyes became stronger. It gradually emitted a pressure. Under such a powerful pressure, everyone was already sweating profusely and their faces were pale. It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, making them unable to breathe. ¡°This is over.¡± ¡°No matter what, we can¡¯t defeat this Rank 8!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we escape? There¡¯s no other way. At most, we¡¯ll need our pets to cover our retreat.¡± ¡°The pets can only hold them off for a few seconds. We won¡¯t have a chance to escape.¡± ¡°Then what should we do now? We can¡¯t just watch and wait for death.¡± The team was already incomparably flustered. Chen Xiuxiu looked at Wang Jun with a pale face, but Wang Jun only sighed and shook his head helplessly. Then, despair began to appear on Chen Xiuxiu¡¯s face. She had thought that she was going to win, but she did not expect to face such a situation again. It was really up and down. This feeling was really uncomfortable. Wang Jun saw the reaction of his team members, but he had no other choice. He could not think of any other way to successfully survive the current desperate situation. Facing such a powerful enemy, even Ye Fan would not be able to do anything. Ye Fan, who everyone thought was helpless, was looking at the system interface. If it were anyone else, they could only wait for death in this situation. There was no other way. But unfortunately, Lunn encountered Ye Fan. Any difficulty could be resolved. If there was a problem, he could evolve and evolve again. At this moment, Ye Fan was carefully looking at the system interface, choosing the target that was about to evolve. First of all, excluding Rose, the materials for the other five pets were almost all gathered. He could evolve any one of them. However, considering that Anissa¡¯s growth was the highest and that she would consume fewer evolution points, Ye Fan chose Anissa without hesitation. After he clicked on evolution and deducted the evolution points, Anissa¡¯s growth was instantly maxed out. After evolution, the data panel instantly changed. Name: Vampire Attribute: Dark Level: Rank-7, Peak Its growth was zero, and its talents and skills had been refreshed. The next stage of the evolution path was Duke. The conditions to meet were full growth, a Moonlight Spirit Stone, and 20 Dark Crystals. ¡°Peak?¡± Ye Fan was a little happy. He suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the new talent and skills. The talents to be unlocked were: Regeneration. It could bring strong vitality and slowly recover over time in a severely injured state. If it could absorb blood during this period, the recovery speed would be faster and faster. Unlocking it required 500 evolution points. ¡°Accelerated recovery after injury?¡± Ye Fan was overjoyed, because vampires recovered faster than other pets. Now, with the enhancement of this talent, its survival and combat ability should be able to increase to an astonishing level. This regeneration talent could be used with the effect of sucking blood. It could absorb the blood on the battlefield at will and increase the recovery speed. Then, Anissa¡¯s vitality would be extremely tenacious. Ye Fan did not hesitate and unlocked it. Then, he looked at the other new skills. Skill to be unlocked: Special Sword Technique. It is an advancement in the intermediate sword technique. It can increase the sword expertise by a large margin. It requires 300 evolution points to unlock. Bloodline Awakening: Senses the source of the bloodline and awakens the origin power in the bloodline. It can temporarily increase one¡¯s strength and last for about five minutes. However, after every use of this skill, there will be a 72-hour interval before it can be used again. Moreover, the blood-sucking time will also be shortened. To unlock this skill, it requires 1,000 evolution points. After reading all the information, Ye Fan was overjoyed. Not to mention this special sword technique, this bloodline awakening surprised him. This was the first time he had seen such a high requirement for unlocking. 1,000 evolution points!! This was almost several times more than usual. However, he was very happy because the more evolution points he needed, the stronger this skill would be. The power of 1,000 evolution points should be enough to surprise him. He immediately unlocked both skills. ¡­ The cave was strangely quiet. The pets that were fighting had stopped at some point. Chapter 174 - 174 Deadlock 174 Deadlock The few evil monsters all retreated to the old man. The skeleton and the Firmament King also returned to Ye Fan. The two sides were in a deadlock now, looking at each other with fear. But everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Ye Fan and Lunn. The situation had changed greatly, the final outcome still depended on the battle between Ye Fan and Lunn. If Lunn won, then neither Ye Fan nor the hunters would be able to escape death. If Ye Fan won, it would be the other party that would die. However, in everyone¡¯s opinion, Lunn should definitely win. Wang Jun and the others looked at Ye Fan, but Ye Fan still looked indifferent and lifeless, they felt that victory was impossible. Red Seven and the old man laughed, they did not expect Ye Fan to have such a day. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t waste time!¡± Lunn slowly approached Ye Fan and glanced at the row of pets with a murderous gaze. He was extremely mocking and did not take them seriously. ¡°Do you plan to do it one by one, or together?¡± Just as he said this, Ye Fan moved, and he raised his head with a faint smile. ¡°I only need one pet to deal with you.¡± ¡°Anissa!¡± ¡°Master.¡± The vampire walked forward, her cold figure attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Lunn turned around and suddenly frowned. He didn¡¯t know if he had sensed wrongly, but he felt that the aura of this vampire seemed to have changed. He couldn¡¯t figure it out. That made him feel a little uneasy. However, in the next second, he shook his head and felt that he was thinking too much. This was only a Rank-6 pet. No matter how strong it was, could it be stronger than him? ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll kill this vampire first before playing with you.¡± Killing intent flashed in Lunn¡¯s eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked. The moment she attacked, her entire body began to emit a dense and black fog. This black fog was very similar to the demonic aura of the skeletons, as if it could inexplicably make a chill run down one¡¯s spine. The expressions of the hunters changed drastically. However, Anissa¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all. She didn¡¯t care about the pressure emitted by Lunn at all. The two blood swords in her hands crossed and slashed out. Lunn also drew a claw mark with both hands and grabbed at the other party. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the claws and the blood swords collided in the void. Sparks flew as they collided, and everyone was stunned. Different from what everyone had expected, Anissa was not sent flying. Instead, she blocked the other party¡¯s claw. The two of them were evenly matched. ¡°How could this be? This is impossible!¡± Red Seven and Old Lin were very shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. Wang Jun¡¯s team was also dumbfounded. They had not expected this at all. Lunn was also a little surprised. After all, he had not held back in this claw attack. He had swung it with all his might. Even if the other party was a Rank-7, it would probably be very difficult to block his attack. Although the vampire in front of him was a Rank-6, she should only have about Rank-7 combat strength. This result was really unbelievable. Soon, Lunn came back to his senses and continued to attack. Anissa did not retreat at all. The two of them fought again and tried to kill each other. Black fog and blood light kept flashing in the air. Black and red intertwined, and the light emitted was very dazzling. However, the onlookers could see that the two of them were equally strong and the battle was very intense. The old man and his companion who were watching the battle were in disbelief. They had never thought that a Rank-6 pet could fight a Rank 8 to a draw. Were they hallucinating? There must be a mistake. It couldn¡¯t be like this. Wang Jun and the others looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± ¡°Who knows? Isn¡¯t this vampire a Rank-6?¡± ¡°I think so! But she wasn¡¯t so powerful just now. Why did she suddenly¡­¡± ¡°Could it have evolved?¡± This sentence made everyone¡¯s expression change drastically. After all, there was only one possibility for her to suddenly become stronger. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why Anissa¡¯s strength had increased so much in such a short period of time. After all, it had suddenly evolved in such a short period of time. Such luck was really rare. However, the old man and the other quickly thought of the same possibility. The two of them were so angry that they almost vomited blood. After all, the timing of this evolution was too good. In such a desperate situation, she suddenly evolved to Rank-7. This kid was really lucky. But it was also at this moment that the two of them felt very unlucky. Ye Fan ignored the shocked gazes of the surrounding people and focused all his attention on Anissa. After evolving, Anissa¡¯s combat strength was already comparable to a Rank 8. Coupled with the support of her talent and skills, her combat strength had long exceeded Rank 8. She should be at the intermediate level of Rank 8 now. However, Lunn¡¯s combat strength was also very great, as strong as a monster. Although he was only a low-level Rank 8, he was not at a disadvantage when fighting Anissa. His strength was not weak either. ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that Rose¡¯s skills can¡¯t be displayed now.¡± Ye Fan felt a little regretful because Rose was only at Rank-6 now. It would be fine if she faced a Rank-7, but if she faced a Rank-8, the support skills she brought would be very difficult to be effective. Even if she used them, they would not be of much use. Otherwise, with Rose¡¯s support, Anissa would only need one wave of attacks to directly kill Lunn. The Flower Sprite acutely realized this and pouted in frustration. Ye Fan comforted her in amusement: ¡°You still have a lot of room for improvement. When you evolve to Rank-7, you will slowly become stronger.¡± ¡°Also¡­¡± Ye Fan suddenly turned to look at Lunn, a faint light flashed in his eyes. ¡°Even without your support, Anissa can deal with them.¡± As if sensing his will, the vampire paused. In the next moment, her entire body emitted a dazzling light. An extremely strong blood light instantly covered the strong aura on her body. Bloodline Awakening!! This terrifying aura instantly swept through the surrounding space. The atmosphere in the cave became very heavy. Everyone present felt suffocated, but they could not care less. They only stared blankly at the red and black ball of light not far away. The light shrank, and everyone saw Anissa¡¯s figure again, but the vampire¡¯s appearance had changed drastically. The long dress she was originally wearing had now become an extremely gorgeous tutu. She was also wearing armor, especially the exquisite black breastplate and hand armor, as well as iron high-heeled boots. Chapter 175 - 175 Vampire Evolution 175 Vampire Evolution Her pupils also became strange. One was green, and the other was red. They became very hot during the battle. What was shocking was that the aura emitted from her body was more than a few times stronger than before. Just looking at her made one¡¯s legs go weak. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lunn was shocked. He had seen short-term explosive power, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Anissa, whose aura could instantly increase to this extent. This aura was probably close to Rank 9. The higher the level, the more difficult it was to advance. Even a small level was quite difficult. Under such circumstances, if she wanted to level up three levels in a row, it was simply unheard of for her to have a skill that was equivalent to breaking through a major realm. Lunn now felt the uneasiness. The intense crisis filled him with fear. ¡°This kid¡¯s pet is clearly just a vampire. How can it have such an ability?¡± Lunn gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was no time for him to think carefully. As soon as the light appeared in front of him, Anissa¡¯s figure quickly flew over. He felt his scalp tingle. The fear he hadn¡¯t felt in a long time was like a pair of invisible hands squeezing his heart. He roared in pain and instinctively struggled with his claws to resist the blood sword that was about to come. The battle erupted again, but this time, it was not the same as before. Lunn was at a disadvantage and only lasted for a few seconds before he was sent flying and fell heavily. However, before he fell to the ground, dozens of purple lightning bolts appeared in the air and landed on Lunn¡¯s body. After letting out a short series of screams, he was drowned by the lightning. Then, there was no sound. The old man and his companion felt this fear from ten meters away. They were dumbfounded and did not dare to be confident. This was a Rank 8 demonic human, but he had been tortured to such a state. If not for the fact that it had happened in front of them, they would never have believed such an outcome. Such an overwhelming battle continued. Anissa, who was in the Bloodline Awakening state, made Lunn unable to fight back. From the beginning to the end, he was crushed. In less than a minute, he was covered in wounds. His entire body was covered in blood and he no longer had the ability to fight. He dodged Anissa¡¯s attack in a sorry state and suddenly retreated. After pulling away from Anissa, he immediately rushed out of the cave. When Red Seven and Old Lin saw this scene, they immediately reacted. It was obvious that Lunn could not win this time and planned to escape. Before the two of them could take action, they felt a red light flash in front of them. Anissa instantly caught up to the fleeing Lunn. At some point, a pair of wings had grown out of Anissa¡¯s back. The blood-red wings seemed to have a bonus, and her speed had increased by a level. She was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for one¡¯s eyes to catch her trajectory. In the blink of an eye, her sword had already arrived behind Lunn. Sensing this terrifying aura, Lunn had no choice but to counterattack. However, blocking this attack had already exhausted all his strength. He prepared to get up and escape again. This time, Anissa raised her palm. Blood Boiling!! With the Bloodline Awakening and this move, the power of the two attacks combined. Seeing this, Lunn¡¯s expression changed drastically. Before he could react, blood began to seep out of his body, as if it had been sucked away by something. The blood appeared on Anissa¡¯s hand and slowly turned into a ball of blood. Lunn was visibly dispirited. ¡°You!¡± At this moment, Lunn¡¯s facial features were already twitching ferociously. From being high and mighty at the beginning, he had become very desperate and disheartened. He finally felt such a long-missing feeling of death. As if to confirm his guess, he saw the blood ball in Anissa¡¯s hand rolling violently. Then, the explosion turned into a rain of blood, and in an instant, it turned into a sharp shape. In an instant, countless sharp blood thorns appeared around Anissa. However, in the next second, she waved her hand fiercely, and all the blood thorns shot out like lasers. The explosion tore through the sky. Lunn no longer had the strength to dodge. He could only watch as the blood thorns flew in his direction, his eyes filled with despair. Not long after, the blood thorns swallowed him. The sound of blood piercing through flesh echoed. Like a porcupine, in the blink of an eye, countless such blood thorns appeared on its body. Not far away, Anissa retracted her hand and thought. The blood spikes instantly turned into blood, and the ground was covered in blood. Lunn also appeared in front of everyone, but his eyes were wide open and he was no longer breathing. His body was also riddled with holes, and his expression was very distorted. Then, the corpse fell to the ground without any vitality. The surroundings were very quiet. No one dared to say a word. Everyone was in a daze as they looked at the corpse lying on the ground. No one had expected such an outcome. When Lunn first appeared, Wang Jun and the others only felt deep despair towards this powerful Rank 8 enemy. However, they didn¡¯t expect to turn the tables so quickly. Anissa directly evolved. Not only did she block all of the other party¡¯s attacks, but she also displayed powerful explosive power and skills that others had never seen before. She killed Lunn in one go. The hunters and the others were in disbelief. They felt that they might have seen an illusion, but everyone had seen it. ¡°That Rank 8 is dead!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! We¡¯re saved!¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Ye Fan is so strong!!¡± Everyone cheered, their faces filled with joy. At this time, they looked at Ye Fan with even more reverence and admiration. His opponent was a Rank 8, but Ye Fan killed him easily. Moreover, he only used one pet to win overwhelmingly. His strength was shocking! Compared to the joy of surviving a calamity, the two old men¡¯s faces were ashen. They felt deep despair, as if they were facing an ice cave. They didn¡¯t know what would happen later. They could not accept it. How could the demonic human lose to Ye Fan so easily? This Ye Fan was unbelievably powerful. He had evolved his pets halfway and unlocked so many powerful skills. How could a Rank-7 have the strength of a Rank-9? How could they believe it?! However, the current situation had already exceeded their expectations, so they were still in a daze. ¡°It¡¯s your turn!¡± A calm voice sounded. The old man and his companion finally reacted. The two of them looked at Ye Fan in despair and shivered, feeling that they might die here. ¡°We¡­ we¡­¡± Red Seven¡¯s face was filled with despair. Chapter 176 - 176 Who’s Courting Death? 176 Who¡¯s Courting Death? He still wanted to say something, but he stuttered and could not speak. The old man gritted his teeth, and despair flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, two demons flew over from behind him and charged towards Ye Fan, this action unexpected. Wang Jun and the others were a little shocked. They didn¡¯t expect the other party to still not give up at this time. Only Ye Fan had a calm expression, as if he had expected this. Red light flashed, and Anissa instantly transformed into a blood-red shadow that charged at the two monsters. Everyone felt as if their eyes were playing tricks on them. In a few seconds, the two monsters fell to the ground and fell eight or nine meters away. Their heads rolled on the ground and blood spurted out of their necks. Anissa looked at everything in front of her very calmly. She ignored the two heads and walked towards Red Seven and Old Lin. The latter turned pale and summoned his other pets nervously. However, Anissa could easily kill a Rank 8 demonic human. Rank-6 pets like them were useless against her. She didn¡¯t even attack. She just glanced at the pets and saw blood spurting out of their bodies. Soon, they fell to the ground, dripping with blood and not breathing. After that, the two of them looked at Anissa in despair. Without any means to use, they could only watch in despair as the blood spikes fell like a storm. After a series of screams, two more extremely miserable corpses appeared on the ground. Their pale faces were ferocious, filled with regret and fear. When Wang Jun and the others saw this scene, they were scared silly and sighed in their hearts. At this moment, they recalled Old Lin¡¯s smug expression not long ago. Everyone felt that it was very ironic. They did not know who was courting death, but from the looks of it, it was definitely not Ye Fan. Anissa had deactivated her Bloodline Awakening. She was looking at the corpses on the ground with an intoxicated expression. It took her a while to react, and she still looked like she wanted more. Ye Fan saw this and found it funny. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Ye Fan asked casually. However, Anissa¡¯s answer was very serious. ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± ¡°Although I evolved into a Duke, it¡¯s slightly inferior to the power just now.¡± Ye Fan thought for a while and nodded. Anissa was now at the peak of Rank-7, a Marquis among vampires. When she evolved to the Duke, she should be at the peak of Rank 8. In other words, under the circumstances of the Bloodline Awakening, her combat strength was even higher than that of the peak of Rank 8, but she had probably not reached Rank 9. Otherwise, there would be no need for her to attack Lunn a second time. ¡°Then what¡¯s the situation now? Half of Rank 9?¡± Ye Fan found it funny. However, if Anissa¡¯s strength evolved to the Duke level, her combat strength would definitely not be limited to Rank 8. She should be at least Rank 9. Coupled with the enhancement of the Bloodline Awakening skill, at that time, even at Rank 9, very few people would be her match. Thinking of this, Ye Fan¡¯s heart burned. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± While he was thinking carefully, Wang Jun¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. He turned around and saw that the hunters were all looking at him. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What should we do with these corpses?¡± Wang Jun pointed at the corpses on the ground with a troubled expression. If it was the corpse of an ordinary person, they would not have thought so much. However, this demonic human was different from ordinary people. This was a new race. There was no need to mention the meaning behind it. Such a corpse definitely could not be casually thrown away. If they left it here, in less than half a day, the smell of blood would attract other things and the corpses would definitely be eaten. But this Lunn was killed by Ye Fan, only Ye Fan had the right to deal with this corpse. Actually, Ye Fan had already planned this. After hearing this, he immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble the military with the disposal.¡± Wang Jun paused and immediately nodded. Not long after, they found the Evil Flower in the corner. So far, the goal of both sides had been achieved. Although there were many interludes halfway, overall, it was a close call. The outcome was good. The hunters happily brought the demonic human¡¯s corpse out of the cave. After everyone went out of the valley, the demonic human¡¯s corpse attracted a lot of attention. ¡°What is this? It looks so strange!¡± ¡°It looks a little like a monster!¡± ¡°Old Wang, where did you get this?¡± ¡°From the looks of it, its level shouldn¡¯t be low. The Rock Hunter Group has encountered a rare monster again.¡± ¡°No matter how I look at it, it should be at least Rank-6!¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Chen Xiuxiu, Liu Qing, and the others all secretly curled their lips. A group of country bumpkins. This was clearly a Rank 8, and a demonic human at that! If I told you, you would probably be scared to death! Wang Jun looked helpless. They didn¡¯t have any handy tools now. Otherwise, they would definitely have covered the corpse. If so, they wouldn¡¯t have attracted so much attention. This couldn¡¯t go on. What if the Hunters of the Abyss later found out that they had killed their people¡­ Although they had been watching from the side the entire time and didn¡¯t attack¡­ Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm and not worried at all, because he was not afraid of the other party. Now that he had advanced to Rank-7, he looked down on those people even more. However, a race like the demonic humans should be very strong in terms of individual strength. If the members of the race were all like Lunn, it would be quite terrifying. Ye Fan was not too worried about the fallen, because there should not be many Fallens who were beyond Rank 8 in the city. It was said that the cult Master of the Abyss was only Rank 9. Otherwise, this cult would not have been forced to hide like rats by the military and the adventure organization. Moreover, the master of this cult would not easily appear. With Ye Fan¡¯s current strength, other than the cadres of the cult, there was no need to worry about anything else. In Ye Fan¡¯s eyes, the threat of demonic humans was greater, like Lunn. If three of them came at once, he would not be able to deal with them. ¡°I have to increase my strength as soon as possible.¡± On the way back, Ye Fan arranged his next plan. His goal was very clear. He wanted to maximize the growth of the remaining five pets and evolve them. ¡°The lowest level of Skeleton and Little Nine is Rank-6, so we have to kill Rank-5 monsters to obtain EXP.¡± ¡°The EXP of Rank-5 is too little. I have to kill hundreds of them to increase their growth. As expected, it¡¯s faster to kill Rank-6s directly.¡± However, if Ye Fan were to choose, he would definitely choose Rank-7 first. According to the situation in the Rock Valley, the experience points gained from killing monsters above their level increased faster. Moreover, as long as he killed ten of them, their growth would be maxed out. Chapter 177 - 177 Cangnan Plain 177 Cangnan Plain However, this was just a thought. Rank-7 monsters were not like cabbages that were everywhere on the street. This Rank-7 monster was already at the Boss level. For example, Anissa had killed five Rank-7 monsters in a place like the Rock Valley, but each of them was the overlord of the valley. The higher the level of the monster, the lower the possibility of gathering in groups. This was because no place could support the survival of a large group of high-level monsters. Other than ruins or places with powerful strength, it was almost impossible to hunt multiple Rank-7 monsters in the same place. !! Therefore, he had to run around in many places to find Rank-7 monsters. However, this was too tiring. It would be even better if he could farm monsters in a fixed place. After thinking about it, Ye Fan planned to find a place with more Rank-6 monsters and focus on killing them. After making the arrangements, he immediately asked Wang Jun if there was such a place nearby. Because Wang Jun was an adventurous and experienced leader, he knew the situation of the monster gathering place very well. He gave Ye Fan¡¯s answer without thinking too much. ¡°There¡¯s a place you mentioned, but it¡¯s a little far. 100 to 200 kilometers south is what you want.¡± Ye Fan estimated that a hundred or two hundred kilometers should be close to North City. After knowing Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts, Wang Jun smiled: ¡°That place is indeed a little special, it happens to be at the border between North City and Chaohai City, but they each take half.¡± Ye Fan nodded and asked: ¡°Does that place have a name?¡± ¡°Cangnan Plain.¡± It sounded like a place where many monsters gathered, and that was indeed the case. Wang Jun continued to explain, ¡°The Cangnan Plain is a place where all kinds of demonic insects gather. According to statistics, there are more than 100 species of demonic insects living in the plain.¡± ¡°These monsters are of different levels, and there are many Rank-6 monsters in the depths.¡± As he spoke, he sighed. He was a Rank-6 Beast Tamer, but the monsters he usually chose were usually Rank-5. It was not because he could not defeat Rank-6s, but because even if he could kill them, he would definitely suffer a lot. Therefore, in comparison, healing injuries and restoring stamina required a lot of time. It was more efficient to directly kill low-level monsters. Most Beast Tamers would make the same choice during training. Only those who specialized in training their pets would choose to fight monsters of the same level. For example, Ye Fan¡¯s pets could easily kill monsters of the same level like playing with toys. Such pets were rare among Beast Tamers. They could only watch and envy them. After Wang Jun finished speaking, Ye Fan nodded. Therefore, most of the monsters in the plains were between Rank 2 and Rank 8. It was indeed a very suitable place for Beast Tamers to train. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard of such a place before?¡± Ye Fan was a little puzzled. However, after thinking about it, he understood. After all, it was more than one hundred kilometers away. From a distance, it looked very far. Moreover, there were dangers everywhere in the wilderness. No one would be willing to run so far and take a huge risk to kill monsters. Even with this thought, it was already difficult for many Beast Tamers to overcome all the monsters along the way. It was not easy to reach the Cangnan Plain through the one hundred kilometers. Only a few people could pass. Clearly, Ye Fan was one of them. After carefully understanding the situation in the Cangnan Plain, Ye Fan immediately made a decision. After that, he planned to go to the Cangnan Plain to hunt. He knew that it would be a waste of time go back and forth to evolve the other five pets. After all, it would be a waste of time to run back and forth so far away. He planned to stay on the plain for a while. After returning to the city and resting for a day, he decided to start purchasing the materials he needed. There were no divine artifacts like space rings here. All the supplies could only be transported by manpower, and he could not bring much with him. The tents were directly excluded. All the food he needed was compressed food. Only water was necessary. ¡°It seems like there¡¯s also a divine artifact in the space like a storage medium. I wonder if there¡¯s such a thing.¡± Just as he was preparing, Ye Fan suddenly asked. If he had such a thing, it would be much more convenient for him to travel in the future. However, such a treasure must be very precious and rare. Even if there was such a thing, it should be in the hands of those big families. Soon, the supplies were ready. Before setting off, he sent a message to Su Wan¡¯er, telling them that he was about to go out and might be gone for a long time, in case the other party would worry if they couldn¡¯t contact him. As soon as the message was sent, Su Wan¡¯er called. As soon as the call was picked up, the girl¡¯s energetic voice came from the other end. ¡°Ye Fan, are you going out of the city to train again?¡± ¡°I should be gone for a long time. I won¡¯t be back for a while.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Su Wan¡¯er was not too surprised. Ye Fan rarely came to class now and usually ran out of the city. The Rose Society felt that it was very normal. But Su Wan¡¯er and the others were a little complaining. After all, Ye Fan did not have much time to accompany them when he was busy. But they were not unreasonable. They knew that Ye Fan did this to increase his strength, so they did not complain. Ye Fan also knew, so his tone was very light. ¡°After this, I can rest for a few days. When the time comes, I¡¯ll go play with you guys. Don¡¯t reject me.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t wait!¡± Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s tone was filled with joy. After chatting for a while, Ye Fan got down to business. ¡°You must be looking for me for something else!¡± He probably wouldn¡¯t just call to confirm this matter. Sure enough, she was stunned for a moment before asking in a questioning tone. ¡°I heard about the demonic human!¡± ¡°Yes, what have you heard?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the matter of a Beast Tamer being killed cause a huge commotion? Those people were blocked in a cave. The military and the Adventurers teamed up to capture them. One of them was killed in the cave. Then, they found that the person looked very similar to the demonic human you killed. They seemed to be from the same race!¡± Ye Fan frowned slightly, this news shocked him. Unexpectedly, the person who had killed dozens of Beast Tamers was of the same race as the Lunn he had killed. This result caught everyone off guard. ¡°Why did they attack Beast Tamers?¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the flesh of Beast Tamers attracted them.¡± Ye Fan was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect those things to eat human flesh. No wonder they were involved with a cult like the Hand of the Abyss. Beast Tamers were their enemies. Ye Fan asked again, ¡°Where did these demonic humans come from?¡± Chapter 178 - 178 Appearing Out of thin air 178 Appearing Out of thin air ¡°I don¡¯t know yet. After all, there¡¯s no record of a demonic human before. It seems to have appeared out of thin air!¡± Ye Fan helplessly spread his hands. ¡°I think only the people from the Hand of the Abyss know.¡± Su Wan¡¯er smiled. ¡°The military and the adventurous organization think so too. Therefore, everyone is searching for the hiding place of the Hand of the Abyss. I don¡¯t think the people of the cult will have a peaceful life.¡± Ye Fan laughed as well. He had thought that the people from the Hand of the Abyss would come to take revenge. But now, it seemed that the other party might not even be able to protect themselves. They would not come to find trouble with him. !! ¡°In a few days, we¡¯ll go out of the city for an actual combat drill.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to an actual combat class? Why so sudden?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that sudden. After all, the end of the semester is in two to three months. Teacher Ding wants us to increase our strength before that.¡± Ye Fan finally understood: ¡°I didn¡¯t know about this. Our teacher didn¡¯t tell me.¡± ¡°With your strength, he didn¡¯t have to tell you. Anyway, you don¡¯t have to attend this class. Besides¡­¡± Su Wan¡¯er suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Your strength and combat experience are probably more colorful than Teacher¡¯s.¡± Ye Fan smiled awkwardly. But on second thought, it made sense. He had only been a Beast Tamer for a year, but the battles he had experienced were all extraordinary. They were many times more than ordinary Beast Tamers. Most of the time, he was either hunting monsters or fighting with all kinds of Beast Tamers. So far, he had gone to three ruins. Whether it was experience or combat, he really couldn¡¯t compare to his teacher. After chatting for a while, the two of them hung up. Ye Fan took the supplies and arrived at the supply station outside the city. This time, he did not plan to use the modified off-road vehicle to go to the plains, because it was very far and it was not convenient to rent a car. Moreover, he had a better method than renting a car. At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded, and the Firmament King¡¯s strong and huge body appeared in front of Ye Fan. Its powerful dragon might spread in the surroundings, causing a commotion nearby. Many low-level pets were lying on the ground, trembling with their heads on the ground. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°Damn! There¡¯s a dragon pet over there!¡± ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen a dragon pet before¡­ What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a dragon pet. It looks like it¡¯s a purebred.¡± ¡°How awesome!¡± Not long after, the surrounding adventurers noticed the situation here. After seeing the Firmament King¡¯s agile body clearly, everyone was very surprised. Dragon pets were rare, and purebred ones were even more so. Every purebred dragon pet had outstanding potential that was usually at the upper limit of Rank 9. Some especially outstanding pets could reach the king level. Therefore, pure-blooded dragon pets were very rare. Ordinary Beast Tamers could not even see one for years, let alone contract such a pet. At this moment, they were naturally envious and jealous when they saw that a young man had such a precious pure-blooded dragon pet. The adventurers looked at Ye Fan, staring at him, wanting to know the identity of the person who had contracted the pure dragon pet. But when they saw Ye Fan, they were shocked. ¡°This person looks a little familiar! Have you seen him somewhere?¡± ¡°I find him familiar too. Isn¡¯t that West Eagle Academy¡¯s chief student? That¡¯s Ye Fan!¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, I remember, he is indeed Ye Fan!¡± ¡°No wonder he has a pure dragon pet. It¡¯s Ye Fan!¡± Ordinary Beast Tamers would be stunning if they contracted a pure dragon-type pet. However, if Ye Fan had such a divine-level pet, no one would be so surprised. After all, Ye Fan had the strength. A genius like Ye Fan was definitely different from ordinary people. He was extraordinary. After recognizing that this young man was Ye Fan, the surrounding discussions became more and more heated. Ye Fan did not care about the surrounding situation. He moved very quickly, directly climbing onto the dragon king¡¯s head and sitting down. Immediately after, the Firmament Dragon King raised its head and flapped its wings. As a violent wind blew, Ye Fan rode the dragon and flew into the sky. Seeing that Ye Fan was traveling alone, many adventurers who wanted to form teams stopped when they saw this scene. They watched enviously and jealously as Ye Fan¡¯s figure gradually disappeared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the Firmament Dragon King flew a thousand meters away. Moreover, Ye Fan activated Soul Protection, which could resist the wind coming from all directions. He looked at the scenery below with some interest. However, the sky above this world was not as safe as it looked. There were still many ferocious flying monsters in the sky. Even if they could fly in the air, they still faced the risk of crashing. Thus, as time passed, humans did not continue to fly in the sky. Although there was long-distance transportation, it was usually on the ground. This was the first time Ye Fan was flying in the sky. Not long after, the outline of Chaohai City could no longer be seen. At this moment, the vision in the sky became less vast, and he saw many flying monsters. Most of the monsters were afraid of the dragon¡¯s might and did not dare to get too close. Only a few blind people wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack Ye Fan, but they were instantly killed by the dragon¡¯s breath. About two hours later, a vast plain appeared in his line of sight. Looking down from the sky, there seemed to be many black chess pieces scattered everywhere on the plain. They were all insects or human and their pets. Ye Fan gently patted the Firmament King¡¯s head, planning to let it land. A violent wind blew as the Firmament King slowly landed. Then, Ye Fan patted its head and told it to put away the Dragon¡¯s Might. Otherwise, nothing within a thousand miles would dare to approach. Ordinary monsters would immediately dodge when they sensed this Dragon¡¯s Might. It was the same for Rank-6 monsters. If this continued, he would not be able to farm monsters. ¡°As expected of a purebred dragon¡¯s might, it is very useful, it can dispel some low-level monsters, it is fast and practical.¡± Ye Fan sighed in his heart. He looked up into the distance. Three hundred meters away, a group of insects had already noticed him. After the commotion, they all charged towards Ye Fan aggressively. This group of insect monsters was about the size of oxen and horses, and their bodies were covered in extremely hard stone armor. These were Giant Stone Worms, Rank-5 earth-element creatures. ¡°Rank-5¡­¡± Ye Fan landed in the depths of the plain. The current situation was just as Wang Jun had said. The monsters in this area were usually between Rank 5 and 6. Ye Fan did not hesitate and instantly summoned Little Nine. With a flash of light, Little Nine appeared on the Dragon King¡¯s back. Chapter 179 - 179 This Won’t Do 179 This Won¡¯t Do ¡°Big White is still being used as a mount by Master!¡± Rose also appeared. Little Nine looked at the Firmament Dragon King and smiled. Big White was the name she gave the Firmament King. Because the Firmament King was white-gold all over and was very beautiful, she named him Big White. When the Firmament King heard Little Nine¡¯s words, it howled unhappily. Then, it wanted to throw her off and shake its body. Ye Fan smiled helplessly, then patted the fox girl¡¯s head. !! ¡°That¡¯s all for small talk. Prepare for battle!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Little Nine blinked. Then, she looked enthusiastically at the Giant Stone Worms that were charging over. In the next second, countless flames ignited behind her. The flames condensed into a huge dragon with sharp claws and teeth that pounced at the insects. This was a Fox Fire Dragon! The huge dragon formed by the hot flames pounced at the insects. The instantaneous high temperature made the insects howl in pain. Then, their hard armor was burned and shattered by the flames. Immediately after, their flesh was burned by the flames. When the flames disappeared, there were no more living giant insects on the ground. More than 20 insect monsters were all dead. Ye Fan looked at the system interface and shook his head. Although they were all Rank-5 and she had killed more than 20 at once, her growth was not even 5%. This was not good! ¡°I still have to walk deeper.¡± Ye Fan immediately made up his mind. The Firmament King flew again towards the depths of the plain. Along the way, there were many insect monsters on the plain, but they were basically small-scale. There were only dozens of them at once. Although there were very few of them, Little Nine could destroy them at full speed with one skill. At this speed, it would probably take a lot of time on the way. Therefore, the best solution now was to find a place with more insects to slowly kill monsters. ¡°These insects probably have a fixed location. If I can find this nest, my efficiency in killing monsters will be much higher.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s gaze flashed, thinking of this, he immediately picked a place on the plain. Not long after, he had already chosen the target location: Steel Beetle, high-level Rank-5. Before coming here, he had specially checked a lot of information on the Internet and done a lot of homework. He found that this Steel Beetle was a very common Rank-5 insect monster on the plains, and there were quite a lot of them. The evolution form of this insect was the Mystic Iron Worm, which was an intermediate Rank-6. It had nests in many places on the plains. If he could find the nests, the efficiency of killing monsters would greatly increase. Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately chose this group of Steel Beetles to kill, but he still deliberately let one escape. He and Little Nine rode on the back of the Firmament Dragon King and flew in the air, following the Steel Beetle from afar. ¡°Could it be that Master intends to follow this worm to find the nest?¡± Little Nine asked in confusion. Ye Fan nodded. Little Nine was right. Insects that went out to search for food usually wouldn¡¯t be too far away from the nest. They would immediately go back for treatment if they were attacked. Thus, he specially let go of this Steel Beetle and planned to follow it to the nest. The subsequent development was as Ye Fan had imagined. This Steel Beetle arrived at a basin and entered a huge pitch-black cave. Clearly, this cave should be the Steel Beetle¡¯s nest. But what shocked Ye Fan was that an extremely intense battle was happening in this basin. On one side was the Steel Beetles. There were a lot of them, so densely packed that it was as if a carpet had been laid on the basin. However, they all had sharp claws and teeth, and their limbs were the same. It gave people goosebumps. On the other side were six Beast Tamers and pets. Four of them were men and two were women. They seemed to be in their late twenties. Ye Fan looked carefully for a while and found that these six people were all quite strong. They were all Rank-6. There were about 15 Rank-6 pets around them. Among them, there were more than 20 Rank-5 pets. Unfortunately, they had encountered hundreds of Rank-5 monsters. Although the rank difference was very obvious, in front of such a huge number, their individual strength did not have the advantage. Therefore, there was no doubt that the six of them were at a disadvantage. Ye Fan had only watched for about two minutes when the Beast Tamers had already lost their Rank 4 to 5 pets. A Rank-6 pet was accidentally brought into the swarm. In the next moment, countless Steel Beetles pounced on it as if they had seen food. The Rank-6 pet only struggled for a few seconds before falling to the ground. The six Beast Tamers turned pale and despair appeared in their eyes. ¡°There are too many insects. If this continues, we won¡¯t be able to kill them all.¡± ¡°If we continue fighting, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll attract more insects. We have to break out.¡± ¡°How can we break out of the encirclement in this situation? I¡¯m afraid even defense will be quite difficult.¡± ¡°I told you not to be too greedy. Now, we can¡¯t leave!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you join the operation just now? Why are you saying this now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because the minority obeys the majority.¡± ¡°You!!¡± ¡°Alright, stop arguing.¡± At this moment, a voice broke the argument. ¡°Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. If you have the strength, why don¡¯t you think of a way to resolve our current predicament!¡± His companions suddenly paused, then were very depressed. One of them looked desperate. ¡°What else can we do? If we don¡¯t rush out, we¡¯ll die.¡± The others did not speak, but their expression was the same. They were surrounded by Steel Beetles. Because they had snatched the eggs, in their anger, these insects entered a berserk state. They were not afraid of death or pain. Even if they died in battle, they had no intention of retreating. It was as if they were determined to tear them all apart. If they had known that taking away the eggs would make the insects go crazy, they would not have dared to take this risk. However, it was useless to regret now. Looking into the distance, there were still Steel Beetles in the cave 200 meters away. They crawled out one after another and joined the attack. Therefore, no matter how many they killed, there were only more insects. If this continued, their pets wouldn¡¯t be able to last long before they were swallowed by the insects. The only thing waiting for them was death. Looking at the Steel Beetles with sharp teeth, the six Beast Tamers were all afraid. Two of the female Beast Tamers even turned pale in despair. However, at this moment, someone suddenly noticed the Firmament King in the sky. ¡°Look, what¡¯s that?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a monster? Why are you still in the mood to watch that at a time like this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not a monster. It seems to be a pure-blooded dragon pet with a person riding on it.¡± Chapter 180 - 180 Heavy Reward 180 Heavy Reward ¡°That¡¯s true. That must be a Beast Tamer! That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Can you save us? We¡¯re willing to pay you a high price.¡± The six pets shouted as if they had seen a life-saving straw. Pure dragon pets were at least Rank-6. In other words, the Beast Tamer riding on the dragon was at least Rank-6. !! If a Rank-6 Beast Tamer came to save them, it wouldn¡¯t affect the current situation. However, if the other party had a flying pet, the situation would be much different. Also, judging from the size of the dragon pet, it could carry six people. In other words, as long as the pet was willing to help them, the six of them could leave safely. Although there were many Steel Beetles, they definitely couldn¡¯t catch up to flying pets. This time, they were finally saved. The six of them looked at Ye Fan in the sky with joy. ¡°Are those people asking for help?¡± Little Nine looked at the people below excitedly. Ye Fan looked at it indifferently before nodding. ¡°Save them.¡± With his ability, he could save those human Beast Tamers. Therefore, it was not a big deal to save a few people on the way. Moreover, the hundreds of Steel Beetles below should be able to yield two or three points of growth. After all, he could accumulate the little gains. There was no reason for him to let go of the EXP he had obtained for free. After sensing Ye Fan¡¯s will, the Firmament King let out a dragon roar and flapped its wings to fly down. The violent wind swept down from the sky. The sharp blades caused by the violent wind tore through the armor, and the sound of flesh piercing entered their ears. The Steel Beetles were caught off guard by this surprise attack and were unable to resist. Countless lightning bolts intertwined in the void like long snakes and streaked across the swarm of insects. In just ten minutes, hundreds of Steel Beetles fell. Moreover, their bodies were smoking and they were no longer breathing. After two waves of attacks, the number of Steel Beetles had greatly decreased. The hundreds of thousands of insects just now were already in a state of disunity. Two-thirds of them had been dealt with. The six Beast Tamers were dumbfounded. They looked at the empty basin in front of them and were speechless. The lightning stopped, and so did the wind. The plain basin fell silent. The Steel Beetles that had gone crazy just now seemed to be frightened by this violent wind attack. The remaining insects were dumbfounded as they looked at the sky, not knowing what had happened. The six rescued Beast Tamers looked up at the sky in shock. They had hoped that the Beast Tamer could save them and take them away. However, they did not expect the other party to directly deal with this place. Moreover, in just a few seconds, hundreds of Steel Beetles died before they could let out screams. This scene had a huge impact on them. After all, that was a Rank-5 group of monsters, unlike the Rank-2 and Rank-3 trash outside the plains. These Rank-5 monsters were slaughtered like fruits by the pure-blooded dragon pet. It was unimaginable. After a while, a roar broke the silence. The Steel Beetles reacted and attacked the six Beast Tamers. They were not smart enough to understand what the reinforcements meant. However, Ye Fan was in the sky and they couldn¡¯t attack him, so they targeted these Beast Tamers. However, there were only more than 20 Steel Beetles left. They were not a threat to the Beast Tamers. Therefore, it didn¡¯t take long for them to deal with the remaining Steel Beetles. Next, under their gazes, Ye Fan descended from the sky and got off the dragon¡¯s back. Seeing the face of the reinforcements, the six Beast Tamers were dumbfounded. Firstly, it was because Little Nine was a rare beauty. Secondly, it was because Ye Fan looked too young. They had thought that someone with such strength would be a Beast Tamer in his thirties. Even if he was not in his thirties, he should be around the same age as them. No one had thought that the person who saved them would be a young man. Moreover, he looked to be in his twenties. The six of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock. But not long after, they reacted and quickly restrained their expressions, saying to Ye Fan gratefully, ¡°Thank you so much this time.¡± ¡°My name is Yang Lin. These are my companions.¡± Yang Lin introduced them one by one. After his introduction, Ye Fan introduced himself. ¡°Ye Fan.¡± Then, he pointed at the cave and asked, ¡°That should be the nest of the Steel Beetles?¡± Yang Lin paused for a moment before nodding. ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Fan nodded and asked: ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with those Steel Beetles, what¡¯s going on?¡± Insects were usually fierce and cruel, but Steel Beetles were an exception. Thus, when those Steel Beetles went crazy just now, Ye Fan was a little curious. Yang Lin and the others had hesitant expressions when they heard this, but Ye Fan was their savior, so they did not hide this matter and carefully took out an egg from their bag. ¡°We stole an insect egg. That¡¯s why they went crazy.¡± This was the insect queen¡¯s egg. That was it. Ye Fan understood now. This was because insects usually had very strong group awareness. Although their intelligence was not high, the leader of the insects was very important to the insects. She was the one who commanded the entire swarm. Therefore, the leader¡¯s status in the group was like that of a brain. She played a crucial role. Every group would have an Insect Queen that was hatched from this egg. This was a very important thing to them. If the Insect Queen died, the new Insect Queen would hatch and become the new leader. The importance of this was obvious. After knowing that the thing in Yang Lin¡¯s hand was an insect egg, Ye Fan completely understood why those Steel Beetles were chasing after them like crazy. These guys were really not afraid of death, even daring to steal such a thing. It was as if after discovering Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts, everyone could not hide the awkwardness on their faces. They were too greedy, which was why they wanted this thing. After all, the eggs of the Steel Beetles were rather precious. The insects hatched from this egg were at least peak Rank-6. Moreover, their potential should be above Rank 8 or at the peak of Rank 8. Such an outstanding pet could definitely be sold for a good price, which was more than what they had obtained after working hard for several years. That was why they were greedy and took the risk to get this egg. Fortunately, Ye Fan appeared in time, otherwise, they would all have died here. The six of them were secretly happy to be saved and were very grateful to Ye Fan. But Ye Fan did not care about their expressions. At this moment, he was immersed in his own thoughts. After seeing the insect queen¡¯s egg, an idea appeared in his mind. Chapter 181 - 181 May I Borrow It For A While 181 May I Borrow It For A While ¡°Since the egg can cause the Steel Beetles to chase after it like crazy, it¡¯s very good to use it to attract these insects.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He was still thinking about how to increase the efficiency of killing monsters, but now, the solution was here. As long as he had this thing, he could attract countless Steel Beetles. These crazy Steel Beetles were determined to take back the egg. Even if there was only one left, they would not give up. This was in line with Ye Fan¡¯s goal. Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt that this plan was very feasible. He looked at the Insect Queen¡¯s Egg with a burning gaze and pointed without holding back: ¡°Can you lend me this for a while?¡± !! Everyone was dumbfounded. They felt that Ye Fan might be asking for remuneration, and their expressions changed. But thinking about how Ye Fan saved their lives just now, they gritted their teeth and handed it over. ¡°Thank you for saving our lives just now. There¡¯s nothing we can do to repay you. If you want this, we¡¯ll give it to you with both hands.¡± Ye Fan looked at the heartbroken Yang Lin and suddenly found it funny. ¡°I¡¯m just borrowing it for a while. This thing is useful to me. I¡¯ll give it to you after I use it.¡± Yang Lin looked at Ye Fan carefully and felt that what he said seemed to be true and he did not have any designs on this insect egg. However, he was also a little puzzled. If Ye Fan did not want it, his goal should not be the Insect Queen, but this egg had no use other than hatching a pet, right? Actually, not to mention its use, this thing looked like a hot potato now. As long as it was in their hands, there would be hundreds or thousands of Steel Beetles chasing after them. Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately reacted and looked at the cave. Countless Steel Beetles rushed out. He was shocked. ¡°Those bugs are here again. Why don¡¯t we leave this place first?¡± But Ye Fan smiled after hearing his words, he even took the Insect Queen¡¯s egg away and stood in the basin with a calm expression. ¡°Go and rest for a while. I¡¯ll give it to you after I¡¯m done.¡± Yang Lin and the others were confused, they did not know what Ye Fan wanted to do, but seeing more and more insects, they did not stay and left the basin. Not long after, everyone arrived a hundred meters away from the basin and planned to rest. They looked in Ye Fan¡¯s direction. ¡°What is Ye Fan trying to do?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. He didn¡¯t leave immediately. Instead, he ran into the swarm.¡± ¡°The number of insects is increasing. What should we do?¡± ¡°Should we go up and help? Or should we just watch? Can he do it alone?¡± Everyone discussed animatedly, but in the next second, the discussion stopped, as if it had been stopped. Everyone watched as Ye Fan summoned many strange pets and blocked the exit of the basin. Everyone was dumbfounded, they could not believe Ye Fan¡¯s actions, at the same time, a thought appeared in their minds. Could it be that Ye Fan was planning to kill all the insects in one go? Tsk, tsk, tsk! No one dared to look at it confidently. After all, even if they racked their brains, they would not have thought that Ye Fan would be so arrogant. After all, that was a cave of insects. It was different from the small insects outside. There were countless insects in the cave, hundreds or even thousands of them, there might even be Rank-6 insects. Ye Fan was alone, how could he deal with such a large group of insects? Did he want to die? ¡°Doesn¡¯t he know what¡¯s going on in the cave?¡± ¡°He knows that it¡¯s a queen¡¯s egg. He probably understands.¡± ¡°Then why does he still dare to go?¡± ¡°Who knows? He¡¯s probably crazy. He actually wants to encircle the entire cave.¡± The six of them were shocked. They looked at Ye Fan¡¯s back in disbelief. They did not believe that he could do it. After all, which Beast Tamer would risk their life to encircle the insect cave alone? Even the Hunter Group might not dare to do so. Only now did Yang Lin and the others realize why Ye Fan wanted to use the Insect Queen¡¯s egg. It was because he wanted to attract hatred and surround the insects in one go. Instantly, they felt their heads buzz. After taking adventures for so many years, they had never seen such a bold person. ¡°We can¡¯t just watch like this. After all, he saved us. I have to remind him!¡± Yang Lin reacted at this time, and he planned to persuade Ye Fan to stop his actions. But in the next moment, a deafening roar sounded. The entire basin could hear it. The Steel Beetles attacked Ye Fan¡¯s pet like a storm, and the battle erupted at this moment. When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically. They all had the same thought. ¡°It¡¯s over now!¡± Countless Steel Beetles¡¯ feet formed a loud sound wave in unison, echoing in the sky above the basin. Ordinary pets would go weak at the sight of this terrifying aura. But now, be it Ye Fan or Little Nine, they looked normal. It was as if what was rushing towards them was not a terrifying monster, but a group of weak ants. ¡°Master, do you need me to do it?¡± The pet next to him couldn¡¯t wait. Ye Fan nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s go together.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Skeleton, Rose, and the Duke of Hellfire appeared in front of him. Other than Anissa, the other five pets had all appeared. Seeing the insects all over the mountain, Skeleton and the Duke were calm, but Rose was shocked. She immediately pounced into Ye Fan¡¯s arms and grabbed his sleeve in fear. ¡°You have to fight too.¡± Ye Fan patted the Flower Sprite¡¯s head, encouraging it. Rose was a support-type pet. She usually did not like to fight. However, when she looked at her companions beside her, she nodded reluctantly. With her companions around, she did not have to work so hard. Before the insects could approach, Little Nine and the Duke had already rushed out. Flames flashed beside the fox, and fire appeared one after another like stars. She gently raised her right hand, and at that moment, the fire flew towards the insects like raindrops. The Fox Fire didn¡¯t seem to be very powerful, but when it collided with the Steel Beetles, it quickly spread. The Steel Beetles turned into green-blue flames and were covered by the Fox Fire. They rolled on the ground in pain, but no matter what, they could not extinguish the flames. In the blink of an eye, they were burned. On the other side, red flames surged in the swarm. The Duke of Hellfire did not hesitate to release his skill, Red Forbidden Zone. The Steel Beetles within 20 meters were burned by the flames. Even their incomparably sturdy shells were roasted into charcoal and melted into the flames. In less than ten seconds, countless bug corpses appeared beside the Duke of Hellfire. All of them were charred black, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Chapter 182 - 182 This Is called Massacre 182 This Is called Massacre In the sky, the Firmament King spread its wings. Every roar would emit countless elemental fluctuations. Every attack was incomparably powerful. Energy balls fell into the insects like raindrops. Wild winds blew, lightning interwove, and the insects were constantly harvested and annihilated. At a glance, there were only three pets fighting, but the sound of battle sounded like hundreds of pets fighting. Hundreds of insects were blocked by the three pets and couldn¡¯t move an inch. A hundred meters away, Yang Lin and the others were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They could not believe that what they were seeing was real. ¡°Oh my God, is this for real?¡± ¡°How can three pets resist so many Steel Beetles?¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t resisting. This is slaughter!¡± ¡°That¡¯s too awesome!!¡± Everyone was suffocating, they focused on Ye Fan¡¯s carefree back. Originally, they thought that Ye Fan was crazy to do this, but his crazy act of challenging the entire insect group alone was not really crazy. He was courageous and had the strength to deal with it. This was a true expert. His actions and thoughts were different from ordinary people. Everyone looked at Ye Fan with reverence. Their attention was quickly attracted by the Duke of Hellfire and the other pets. ¡°Every one of these pets is so strong!¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. It was obvious from their auras that these pets were all Rank-6, but the combat strength they displayed was far greater. It was not too much to say that these pets were all Rank-7! In other words, all the pets could fight above their level. Not just one, but all three of them could. It was very difficult for ordinary Beast Tamers to train such a powerful pet, but Ye Fan had three of them. ¡°With such powerful strength, they should have awakened many talents and skills.¡± The three pets were killing wantonly in the group. Yang Lin sighed. At the exit of the basin, Ye Fan focused all his attention on the battle in front of him. The three pets¡¯ ferocious attacks completely crushed the insect monsters as if they had seen food. The growth of the three pets was increasing at an astonishing speed, displayed on the system interface. ¡°It¡¯s faster to farm monsters like this.¡± Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction. However, in comparison, Skeleton and Rose¡¯s growth was a little slow. They were troubled because they had been protecting Ye Fan and only dealt with some insect monsters near Ye Fan and did not participate in the chaotic battle. Because Rose was a support-type pet, its attack power was relatively low. It only had one skill that could cause damage to the Steel Beetle, and the effect of the skill was very ordinary. ¡°There seems to be a reason why there aren¡¯t many support-type Beast Tamers. It¡¯s already so difficult to upgrade one. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be even more difficult to upgrade a few more.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Fortunately, he still had some evolution points to use, so if he did not have enough EXP, he could use evolution points to make up for it. As time passed, the number of Steel Beetles decreased. The insects in the basin were greatly reduced. However, at this moment, the individual strength of the insects increased. Several huge insects with black and red shells appeared in the swarm. These insects were called Mystic Iron Beetles and were intermediate Rank-6. There should be forty to fifty of them. With the appearance of the Mystic Iron Beetles, the efficiency of the three pets in killing monsters decreased visibly. However, Ye Fan was happy. Compared to the Rank-5 Steel Beetles, Rank-6 monsters could offer more EXP. ¡°Skeleton, you can join too!¡± Ye Fan instructed, and the skeleton nodded and joined the battle. Seeing dozens of Mystic Iron Beetles, Yang Lin and the others¡¯ expressions changed drastically. ¡°The Mystic Iron Beetle is at Rank 6!¡± ¡°Why are there so many of them?¡± ¡°Did all the Mystic Iron Beetles in the cave come out? Could it be that Ye Fan angered the insect queen, so all the Mystic Iron Beetles in the cave came out?¡± ¡°In this situation, should we go over and help?¡± The six Beast Tamers had more than a dozen Rank-6 pets. They would be a powerful help in the battle and could help Ye Fan share the damage. Now, there were already many fewer Steel Beetles. Otherwise, they would not have the guts to help deal with the insects that were all over the mountain. Just as they made up their minds and were about to help, they suddenly realized that the pet that had been beside Ye Fan had disappeared for no reason. Before they could figure it out, they heard an earth-shattering howl coming from the basin. The six of them looked over when they heard the sound and saw a gust of wind that was like a huge dragon. The wind formed a huge black vortex, and a whistling sound came from the vortex as an unstoppable aura destroyed the Mystic Iron Beetles. Before the dozen or so Mystic Iron Beetles could react, they were stirred into the vortex and instantly turned into meat paste. The fog in the sky instantly turned blood-red, and the dozen or so Mystic Iron Beetles died at this moment. At this moment, the skeleton also appeared. At some point, a huge skeleton shadow more than ten meters tall had appeared behind it, emitting a terrifying pressure. Its demonic eyes were flickering with flames. This was an indescribable aura of death. Just looking at each other made the enemy feel as if their hearts were being squeezed by a hand. In the next second, they felt as if they were about to explode. This was not an illusion! In the next moment, the bodies of the Steel Beetles that met the gaze of this huge shadow were like exploding water balls, emitting a crisp sound. Their bodies seemed to have exploded, and after emitting a sound, they fell to the ground and stopped breathing. Although the Mystic Iron Beetles did not die on the spot, they were still frightened by this scene. In the next moment, the skeleton appeared behind them and slashed the Mystic Iron Beetles into two. In just ten minutes, the number of Mystic Iron Beetles had decreased by half. Yang Lin and the others, who were standing not far away, were all stunned. All of them were stunned on the spot. They were overwhelmed with disbelief and shock. This was Death Gaze, a skill unlocked after the skeleton evolved. Combined with Demonic Energy and Soul Power, it could attack the target mentally to create a deterrent effect. As for the effect, it depended on the difference in strength between the other party and itself. If the difference in levels between the two sides exceeded the limit, the effect would definitely be complete annihilation. Therefore, under his skill, all the Steel Beetles died on the spot. The Mystic Iron Beetles were also deterred. They could not fight back and could only be eaten by others. Two powerful skills were used one after the other. In an instant, more than 20 Steel Beetles were wiped out, and their growth increased by more than ten percent. Chapter 183 - 183 A Little Déjà vu 183 A Little D¨¦j¨¤ vu ¡°The experience gained from killing Rank-6 monsters is still greater!¡± Ye Fan could not help but sigh. In this short period of time, the skeleton¡¯s gains were completely better than the other pets¡¯ battles. Ye Fan sighed silently. On the other side, Yang Lin and the others were still in shock. After a while, the six of them came back to their senses, but their faces were still filled with shock. !! ¡°This pet is so powerful!¡± ¡°That shadow probably used mental power to attack! It¡¯s too powerful!¡± ¡°The power is indeed shocking. It can kill more than ten Steel Beetles at once.¡± ¡°What is Ye Fan¡¯s background to have such powerful pets?¡± Everyone was very surprised. Yang Lin suddenly noticed a girl in the group looking at Ye Fan seriously. He asked curiously: ¡°What are you doing?¡± This girl¡¯s tone was a little hesitant. ¡°I feel like this Beast Tamer looks similar to someone.¡± Everyone was stunned. ¡°Similar to whom?¡± ¡°Ye Fan!¡± A Beast Tamer smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t his name Ye Fan?¡± As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized what the girl meant. At this moment, they all reacted and widened their eyes, looking at Ye Fan again. ¡°Are you talking about THE Ye Fan?¡± ¡°They¡¯re very similar in age! They¡¯re both Rank-6 Beast Tamers. Their pets are all very strong!¡± ¡°I heard that Ye Fan has a very powerful skeleton pet, which is exactly the same as the one just now.¡± Hearing this, everyone was stunned. When they heard Ye Fan introduce himself, they didn¡¯t think too much about it. After all, this world was so big and there were countless Beast Tamers with the same name. How could they happen upon the right person? But now, after analyzing, they felt that they might have met the rumored Ye Fan. ¡°No wonder he¡¯s so young and so powerful.¡± Yang Lin patted his forehead and felt that his reaction was too slow. He should have noticed it earlier, but his reaction was slow and he didn¡¯t notice it. The other five people did not think as much as he did. Now that they knew Ye Fan¡¯s true identity, they were excited. After all, Ye Fan was a legendary genius. They did not expect to encounter him here on a mission, and he happened to save their lives. Their luck was too good. ¡°It seems like the legends are true. Not only is Ye Fan young, but he is also handsome and has shocking strength.¡± One girl looked at Ye Fan¡¯s back with starry eyes, filled with admiration. The other girl also stared at Ye Fan, almost seeing through him. After all, it was rare to see such a handsome and powerful Beast Tamer. Which girl wouldn¡¯t admire him? ¡°Alright, both of you, pay more attention to your image.¡± Sensing that the girls were about to drool, a male Beast Tamer reminded them angrily. ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s pets are all beauties, and they¡¯re not on the same level as you. Would he like you?¡± ¡°We¡¯re just here to take a look. You don¡¯t have to say anything.¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re the one who¡¯s jealous of others¡¯ good looks!¡± The two girls glared at the boy who spoke. ¡°Stop arguing.¡± Seeing that his companions were arguing, Yang Lin immediately interrupted them. ¡°The battle is about to end.¡± After he said this, everyone looked at Ye Fan and realized that almost all the insects in the basin had been killed. The six of them looked at each other and walked over hesitantly. ¡°I¡¯m returning it to you. I¡¯m done.¡± Seeing the person who came, Ye Fan returned the Insect Queen¡¯s Egg to the other party. After using this thing, it had no value to him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re welcome!!¡± Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand, taking the Insect Queen¡¯s Egg. After discovering that the young man in front of them was the rumored genius, the six Beast Tamers were very respectful. That was normal, because Ye Fan would definitely become a Rank-9 Beast Tamer in the future, or even a king-level expert. Therefore, they had to be respectful. After all, age was not a problem in front of strength. Ye Fan saw their change and was stunned for a while before reacting. These people probably knew his identity, which was why they changed. However, he didn¡¯t care about that. He turned around and instructed his pets to clean up the other insects. Then, he looked at Yang Lin and said, ¡°Are there any other insect caves around here?¡± When Yang Lin and the others heard this, they were stunned for a few seconds before reacting. They were secretly shocked. This god was here to clean up the plains! They looked at each other and complained in their hearts. After all, the insect caves were rather dangerous. Ordinary Beast Tamers would avoid them as much as possible. After all, there were hundreds of Rank-5 and Rank-6 insects in the cave. For example, in their team, six Rank-6 Beast Tamers were comparable to or even stronger than ordinary second-rate hunting teams. But even with such a lineup, they almost lost their lives after entering the insect cave. It could be seen how dangerous it was inside, but Ye Fan treated this place as a place to farm monsters, as if he was here to gain experience. It did not seem like an adventure at all. But Ye Fan did have the strength to do it easily. After seeing the insects¡¯ corpses all over the mountain, Yang Lin thought for a moment. ¡°We do know how many insect caves there are, but¡­¡± Halfway through his sentence, he hesitated. Ye Fan said, ¡°I will pay you accordingly.¡± Yang Lin didn¡¯t mean that. He quickly waved his hand to deny it. ¡°You¡¯re our savior. We should repay you. Why would we ask you for remuneration?!¡± ¡°However, if you want to hunt a large number of insects, there¡¯s actually no need to find the insect cave. There¡¯s actually a better way!¡± Ye Fan paused. He was suddenly very curious. ¡°What better way?¡± Yang Lin took out his backpack and opened a box. There were two test tubes inside, and the tubes were filled with green liquid. ¡°This thing is called an insect bait. It¡¯s a pheromone that the Adventurer Organization studied. This thing is very attractive to insects. As long as insects smell this smell, they will instantly enter a berserk state and be attracted.¡± Yang Lin explained to Ye Fan. ¡°I did not expect there to be such a thing.¡± Ye Fan was suddenly very interested, he took a tube and sized it up. ¡°How do I use it? How wide is the range?¡± Yang Lin slowly explained, ¡°This smell is strong. For insects, there¡¯s no need to do anything. As long as you open the bottle cap, the gas in it will quickly attract the insects. The range is five kilometers. The insects will definitely come over when they smell it.¡± Ye Fan looked at the items and felt that they were very useful. ¡°It¡¯s indeed not bad. This method is much simpler than I planned!¡± Chapter 184 - 184 In Exchange 184 In Exchange Just as Yang Lin had said, this reagent could attract a large number of insect monsters. It was much more practical than searching for insect nests everywhere. ¡°This thing is not very useful to us, and there are very few opportunities to use it. We originally used this reagent to lure away the insects in the cave, so we could enter safely. However, when we left the cave, we unluckily encountered the returning insects, so we were caught in a huge disaster.¡± Yang Lin explained awkwardly, but Ye Fan did not listen to the reason at all. Instead, he sized up this reagent. ¡°How many more do you have?¡± !! ¡°There are only these two left.¡± Only two¡­ Ye Fan fell into deep thought. Considering the range and effect, two was enough. If it wasn¡¯t enough, he would at most waste time going back to the Adventurer¡¯s Organization to exchange for some. With this reagent, his hunting efficiency on the plains would definitely increase greatly. Ye Fan nodded and took the box, pointing at the insect¡¯s corpse. ¡°I won¡¯t take yours for nothing. You can choose any materials that dropped. Just treat it as an exchange.¡± When Yang Lin and the others heard this, they were instantly overjoyed. Although these Steel Beetles and Mystic Iron Beetles couldn¡¯t give out any big treasures, they were all Rank 5 to 6 insects. They would definitely have some valuable materials on them. Moreover, there were a lot of insects, more than a thousand in total. Even if they couldn¡¯t collect all the materials, they could still exchange a portion for a lot of money. Therefore, in comparison, the value of the reagent was far lower than these materials. Under everyone¡¯s joy, they did not forget to thank Ye Fan. Ye Fan only waved his hand and did not take it seriously. Ye Fan only had one bag now, and there was a limit to what he could carry inside, so the things he wanted to bring had to be carefully selected. Rank-5 and Rank-6 materials were not worth his attention, it was better to exchange them for reagents. After a while, all the pets came back from the cave. The insects inside and the Rank-7 queen were all dealt with. After knowing the situation, Ye Fan did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Yang Lin and the others, he planned to find a place to test the effect of this reagent. In the dim cave, there was the sound of a water ball suddenly exploding. An incomparably precious Insect Queen¡¯s egg fell to the ground and shattered, spilling out a pool of liquid. The instigator of this matter was a thin man in a black robe. He didn¡¯t look at the ground with a cold gaze. Instead, he looked at the demonic human beside the corpse. ¡°This is the 30th one.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll probably be done after killing a few more.¡± ¡°We still have to try our best to find a large-scale insect cave. We¡¯ll have to trouble Sir Ferman next.¡± The demonic human called Ferman stretched his neck and threw away the half-eaten worm with a disdainful expression. ¡°That¡¯s a small matter. Just keep your promise and prepare 30 Rank-6 Beast Tamers for me.¡± A smile suddenly appeared on the thin man¡¯s face, making him look extremely sinister. ¡°Mr. Ferman, don¡¯t worry. There are many Rank-6 Beast Tamers in the Cangnan Plain. As long as you endure for another day, you¡¯ll definitely have a feast.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait and see.¡± Ferman licked his lips as if he had recalled the taste of a human Beast Tamer. Suddenly, he frowned. ¡°The bugs are here!¡± The man raised his arm and snapped his fingers. Then, with a bang, the ground cracked, and a huge battle pet that looked like an earthworm crawled out. The pet shook its body and swallowed the man and the demonic human with its bloody mouth. Then, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace. The cave returned to normal in an instant. Not long after, footsteps sounded. The insects had already returned to the cave. After seeing the corpses and the broken egg, the insects roared angrily and completely went crazy. Their voices echoed in the cave. ¡­ It was very simple to find an experiment location. After looking around in the sky, Ye Fan soon found a suitable location. On a hill more than ten meters high, there was a slope of about 30 degrees on all sides and it spread for twenty to thirty meters. There was nothing to hide in the surroundings. At a glance, it was extremely empty. It was the best place to hunt insects. After confirming that this place was his experimental site, Ye Fan took out a test tube from the box and opened the cap. The green liquid in the bottle was continuously decreasing, evaporating into gas that spread in all directions. Ye Fan watched quietly from beginning to end. After the liquid in the bottle dissipated, he threw it away. ¡°A test tube should be able to attract insects about five kilometers away.¡± The hill he chose was deep in the plains. The lowest level of the monsters wandering around was Rank-4, and there were many Rank-5 to Rank-6. As long as he could attract thousands of them, this reagent would not be in vain. Not long after, roars came from afar, and the sound interrupted Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts. He looked up and saw densely packed insects rushing towards him. As they got closer and closer, he suddenly realized that the movements and appearance of these insects were different from usual. They seemed to have gone crazy. Was it because of pheromones that the insects were so fast? He smiled and summoned all his pets. Apart from Anissa and Rose, the other four pets were in charge of their own directions. The skeleton waved its bone knife and summoned undead. Many intermediate Rank-6 undead appeared beside it. Little Nine also took action. It directly used the Clone Technique and separated three versions of itself with the same appearance. Fox Fire and spirit talismans appeared around their bodies with their hands clasped in front of their chests. There were also some special patterns that could be used at any time. The flames beside the Duke of Hellfire had already spread out and it activated the Red Forbidden Zone. The Firmament King descended from the sky. His body was like a mountain peak, blocking the path to the hill. Lightning flashed around him, and he was also prepared to attack. Rose immediately activated her buff skill to support her teammates. These insects had all been lured here by pheromones. Now, they were already within a hundred meters of the hill. There were quite a number of pets of different levels, but there was a huge black mass gathering here from all directions. Seeing that the targets were coming, the four pets were ready to fight at any time. Not long after, the battle was about to begin. Screams resounded through the clouds and roars came from all directions. Ye Fan looked around and sighed in his heart that the effects of the tubes were indeed amazing. Just the insects that had been lured over numbered three to four thousand, and half of them were Rank-4 and above. This effect was already very good. Not far away, other insects kept joining the battle. It could be imagined that after the battle ended, the growth of his pets would increase greatly. Chapter 185 - 185 Strange Scene 185 Strange Scene As for the risk of this battle, insects below Rank-6 could not hurt his pets at all. Ye Fan only needed to consider stamina and consumption. However, with Rose around, her support skills could slow down the consumption of his pets and accelerate the consumption of the other party. If any pet consumed too much energy, Anissa could immediately replace it. If this did not work, Ye Fan could join the battle at any time, because he was the strongest. But if nothing went wrong, Ye Fan should not need to participate in this battle. The pheromone could only last for ten minutes. It would slowly weaken as the distance increased. During this period, there were probably only four to five thousand insects that had been lured over, most of them Rank-4. !! Thus, Little Nine and the others could completely deal with it. After Ye Fan calculated, he focused on the battle in front of him. At a glance, the hill was already surrounded by countless insects. It looked dark, and the entire ground was filled with insects. Such a strange scene soon attracted all the Beast Tamers within a five-kilometer radius. They watched as a large number of insects ran in the same direction, as if they had seen a ghost. They hurriedly prepared for battle. However, they saw the insects pass by and run in the other direction. The insects didn¡¯t seem to care about them at all, which shocked the adventurers. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Have those insect monsters gone crazy?¡± ¡°They seem to be running in a certain direction. Could something have attracted them?¡± ¡°There are insects in other directions too. They¡¯re all running in that direction.¡± Everyone looked around and was shocked to find that many insects had appeared elsewhere. A few people with flying pets flew into the sky and looked down. In the end, they realized that the insects were running in the same direction from all directions, as if they had received an order to gather. ¡°What exactly happened? Why is it so strange?¡± Everyone looked at the situation in front of them in shock, feeling that it was too strange. In the next second, they planned to follow behind these insects to see what was going on. Not long after, something even stranger happened in the depths of the plain. Insects ran in the same direction, and Beast Tamers followed behind them. Humans and monsters, who were usually enemies, did not offend each other at this moment. They were all rushing forward. Those who did not know the situation would probably be scared silly when they saw this scene. The adventurers were all curious. When they arrived at their destination, the scene in front of them shocked them. It was simply a large sea of insects, formed by countless insects and monsters. Moreover, these things seemed to have been stimulated and kept attacking in front of them. The sound of them fighting and their sharp teeth colliding, as well as some wails, formed a huge sound wave that echoed on the plains. What shocked them was the young man standing on the hill in the middle of the insects. In other words, the target of so many insects and monsters was only a young Beast Tamer. However, the Beast Tamer, who didn¡¯t look old, crossed his arms and stood leisurely at the top of the slope. He had four pets that were fighting fiercely around him. They spread out in four directions and blocked the insects. ¡°What¡¯s the situation now? Why are there so many monsters gathered here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid there are three to four thousand of them.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too strange?¡± When the adventurers saw this scene, they discussed. Then, they looked at the young man standing on the hill in confusion. They did not know how that person attracted so many monsters to attack, but he could block thousands of insect monsters alone. Moreover, these insects were all Rank 4 to 6. It was enough to show how powerful this young man was. ¡°This is unbelievable.¡± One of the adventurers¡¯ low voices said what everyone was thinking. ¡°This isn¡¯t just a few hundred, but thousands of insects. He actually blocked all of them. It¡¯s unimaginable.¡± ¡°There are also many Rank-6 monsters here. How did he do it?¡± ¡°Even if he¡¯s a Rank-7 Beast Tamer, he shouldn¡¯t be able to resist so many bugs.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know the other party¡¯s background, but I can ask Mr. Liu.¡± After that person finished speaking, everyone looked at a middle-aged man behind them. This man was a Rank-7 Beast Tamer. Sensing everyone¡¯s gaze, he shook his head bitterly. ¡°How can I compare to that expert? There are 1,000 Rank 4 to 5 Insects. Even if I risk my life, I can only fight them to a draw. If there are more than 1,000 of them, I won¡¯t be able to do anything, let alone 4,000 to 5,000.¡± ¡°From the looks of it, that expert probably still has a large portion of his strength left.¡± Everyone turned around and saw that the person was standing at the top of the slope with a calm expression, as if he was not in the sea of insects but on the empty grassland. Besides, there were two pets beside him that had yet to attack. ¡°That young man is probably only twenty years old. I didn¡¯t expect him to be more powerful than a Rank-7 Beast Tamer,¡± one of the adventurers sighed. The others nodded in unison, at this moment, everyone looked at Ye Fan with reverence in their eyes. ¡°Speaking of which, don¡¯t you want to know why so many insects are gathered here?¡± Someone asked. After everyone reacted for a few seconds, they also looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on. However, it was definitely related to this expert. They did not know what method he had used to gather such a large number of insects. ¡°Could it be an insect bait?¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about the one developed by the Adventurers¡¯ Organization? That thing works so well?¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn¡¯t be so powerful. This is because it can be very useful with just a little bit. This expert probably used an entire bottle.¡± ¡°He used an entire bottle. That¡¯s why he attracted so many insects. What is he trying to do?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have eyes? Can¡¯t you see? Clearly, he¡¯s gathering and killing monsters.¡± The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Everyone seemed to be stunned, and strange expressions appeared on their faces. The purpose of developing this insect bait was to lure the insect monsters away from their nest to collect materials. The developer probably did not expect this thing to have such a magical effect. It would be used as meat to lure monsters. Moreover, the effect looked pretty good! When adventurers appeared from all directions, Ye Fan had already sensed it, but he only took a glance and did not care. Chapter 186 - 186 Something’s Not Right 186 Something¡¯s Not Right Ye Fan opened the system interface and checked the growth of his pets one by one. In less than ten minutes, the growth of all four pets had increased by more than ten percent. This progress was really delightful. Moreover, the one who killed the most monsters was the skeleton. His growth had already reached more than 40%, approaching 50%. ¡°After this wave, Skeleton¡¯s growth will probably exceed 50%.¡± ¡°If we do it a few more times on this scale, we should be able to maximize the growth quickly.¡± !! Ye Fan was very satisfied. Other than Skeleton, the other three pets had almost reached 40% growth. However, Rose¡¯s growth was the slowest. It had yet to reach 10%. The Flower Sprite was currently buffing its teammates on Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder, weakening the other party¡¯s battle strength, but its growth speed was ridiculously slow. Looking at this, Ye Fan shook his head helplessly, he did not know when it could get more. After a few minutes, the pheromones should be fading soon. Ye Fan looked into the distance. The surrounding insects did not seem to have decreased much. Moreover, there were still insects coming from afar. Although the number was not as exaggerated as before, it was still very strange. ¡°Something doesn¡¯t seem right.¡± Ye Fan suddenly frowned, even though the more insects there were, the better, he could not ignore the unreasonable situation in front of him. The other adventurers also realized that something was wrong. ¡°The number of insects doesn¡¯t seem to have decreased.¡± ¡°Can the effect of this reagent last so long? Isn¡¯t it too exaggerated?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve used this before. It only lasts for ten minutes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been ten minutes since just now, but the insects are still coming. Could it be that there¡¯s a problem with the reagent?¡± Everyone questioned, but this doubt was quickly resolved, because a portion of the insects that were attacking Ye Fan suddenly attacked the surrounding audience. ¡°What¡¯s going on!!¡± Everyone was shocked and hurriedly prepared to meet the attack. At this moment, there was a commotion at the scene, but this was only the beginning. The battle slowly spread out from the surroundings of the hill. Not long after, all they could see were scenes of Beast Tamers and insects fighting. ¡°There is indeed a problem.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s gaze moved slightly. The effect of the reagent should have ended. Otherwise, the insects wouldn¡¯t have suddenly attacked other Beast Tamers. However, the berserk appearance of the insects did not dissipate. Instead, it intensified. It was as if they would attack without hesitation as soon as they saw humans, as if they had seen their natural enemy. Although these insects usually attacked humans, it was for food. However, after killing the Beast Tamer, they continued to kill the next one. They had no intention of eating the other party at all. They looked like they would fight to the death. Clearly, something must have happened when Ye Fan was unaware, which was why these insects lost their rationality and turned crazy and angry. Looking at the surrounding insects gathering, Ye Fan really did not know if he should be happy or worried, because these were all experience points. In his eyes, the more the better, but if there were too many, he would find it troublesome. About ten minutes later, the Firmament King and his pets began to tire. After all, such a large-scale battle consumed a lot of stamina. Even with Rose¡¯s support skills, it could not last long. Ye Fan opened the interface and found that the growth of the skeleton was already about 60%. The others had also exceeded 50%, so the plan to increase their growth was effective. ¡°I¡¯ve gained a lot so far.¡± Ye Fan looked around and quickly made a decision. ¡°That¡¯s all for today!¡± Whether it was the consumption of his pets or the sudden situation in front of him, it told Ye Fan that if he continued, there would definitely be casualties, so he immediately decided to leave. After Ye Fan conveyed his intentions to his pets, the Firmament King spread its wings and flew to the hill, lowering its head. Ye Fan rode on its back. Immediately after, Ye Fan recalled all the other pets, leaving only Anissa for self-defense. The Firmament King jumped up and arrived in the sky. Only then did Ye Fan realize that the situation around him was not optimistic. There were countless insects around, almost everywhere he could see. Many adventure teams and hunting corps were surrounded by insects and were in a bitter battle. The insects¡¯ attacks were very fierce, making the humans look like a small boat pushed by a huge wave that could capsize at any time. Looking at the insects all over the mountain, the adventurers looked desperate. Their faces were pale. Even the Beast Tamers with flying pets were attacked by the flying insects as if they were on the ground. Ye Fan was no exception. He had only flown for a hundred meters when he encountered more than ten flying insect monsters. Even with the dragon might of the Firmament Dragon King, he could not scare these insects away. ¡°Did you take the wrong medicine?¡± Ye Fan had a complicated expression as he looked at the situation below. Not only were there battles in the depths of the plains, but there were also battles in the relatively safe areas on the periphery. The insects seemed to have gone crazy, chasing after adventurers whenever they saw them. Now, the entire Cangnan Plain was in chaos. ¡°What happened?¡± Ye Fan was very puzzled. At this moment, he accidentally saw a corner of the plain and instantly stopped. There were more than 20 young-looking men and women gathered together. Their backs were facing the hill, and under the command of a middle-aged man, they resisted the insect monsters¡¯ attacks with great difficulty. Many of these people were familiar faces. They were students from his class. The leader was Ding Chengxin. Ye Fan looked around and saw Chen Xin in the crowd. Her face was pale as if she had been frightened. ¡°Why are they here?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. Although he was puzzled, he still ordered the Firmament King to fly over. The surroundings were filled with the cries of insects. Ding Chengxin and the other students¡¯ faces turned pale. Many of them were worried about the current situation. They had clearly only come out to do an actual combat drill, but they had encountered an insect tide. Their luck was truly good. Ding Chengxin also felt like crying. This was because in his impression, every battle did not go smoothly. The first combat class was similar. They were attacked and accidentally arrive at the arena of the ruins. At that time, if not for Ye Fan¡¯s help, everyone would have died. But now that Ye Fan was not around, Ding Chengxin felt even more uncomfortable. Now, the entire plain was surrounded by Insects. These Insects seemed to have been provoked. They went crazy when they saw people, as if they had seen their enemies. They were much more ferocious than usual. Even the most brutal Insects were not as crazy as today. Chapter 187 - 187 Life-Saving Grasp 187 Life-Saving Grasp Moreover, they were surrounded by insects. There must be at least a thousand of them. If not for the fact that they were leaning against the hill and had the terrain advantage to withstand the other party¡¯s attack, they would have been finished long ago. ¡°We¡¯re only at the periphery, but the situation is already so bad. I don¡¯t know how dangerous it will be in the depths of the plain. I¡¯m afraid the Beast Tamers there have already met with mishaps¡­¡± Thinking of this, he became even more worried. Then, he smiled bitterly because he couldn¡¯t even protect himself now. He was actually thinking about the situation of others. If he had the strength, he might as well think about how to resolve the current danger. Looking at the surrounding environment, his face darkened. Even if he worked together with the students, they might not be able to break through. There were too many insect monsters now. !! ¡°Teacher, we can¡¯t hold on much longer. What should we do?!¡± The students¡¯ screams immediately woke him up. Looking at the frightened expressions of the students, he remained calm and suppressed the worry in his heart. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent a distress message to the military. Once they receive it, they¡¯ll come to support us soon. Everyone, hold on a little longer.¡± Although he said that, he was not sure. The plain was more than one hundred kilometers away from Chaohai City. Even if the military received the news and sent people over, they would probably have been swallowed by the insects by then. The students were not stupid. Many of them could realize how dangerous the current situation was. Everyone gradually began to despair. In the crowd, Chen Xin¡¯s senses were very sharp. She realized that everyone was starting to despair and become anxious. A figure flashed in her mind. ¡°Ye Fan¡­¡± At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a huge dragon roar. A black shadow flashed in the sky. A huge dragon descended from the sky and landed among them. Everyone looked at it in unison. Ding Chengxin thought that some monster had suddenly descended and was about to attack, but when he saw the person on the dragon, he dispelled his worries. Chen Xin also saw the familiar figure and smiled happily. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± The exclamation made everyone react. Seeing Ye Fan get off the dragon¡¯s back, everyone was overjoyed as if they had seen a life-saving straw. As soon as he came down, a fragrance assaulted his face. The owner of this fragrance threw herself at him, and he subconsciously caught her. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± Chen Xin hugged Ye Fan tightly. Seeing her sweetheart, she immediately felt at ease. Her nervousness from before was vented at this moment, even her voice was trembling. Ye Fan patted her back to comfort her, before looking at Ding Chengxin. ¡°Teacher, why are you here?¡± Ye Fan had heard from Chen Xin that there would be a practice class soon, but the Cangnan Plain was very far from Chaohai City. He had never thought that they would come here, and this was not the best place! Ding Chengxin pretended not to see Ye Fan and Chen Xin¡¯s actions and coughed. ¡°I thought that there were more types of insects in the Cangnan Plain and the range was wide. Although the journey was a little far, it was a very good place to practice, so I brought them here. However, who knew that we would encounter such a thing¡­¡± Ye Fan glanced at the other students, seemingly deep in thought. It was almost the end of the second semester. The first-year students had basically improved a lot, especially since Class A was an elite class. Most of the students had reached Rank-2. With Ye Fan¡¯s help, Chen Xin advanced very quickly and directly broke through to Rank-3. Moreover, the pet she contracted was caught by Ye Fan when he was at the Dragon Bone. She was now the first-year students¡¯ champion. But geniuses like Ye Fan who far surpassed them had long been excluded from the rankings. In other words, most Beast Tamers were between Rank 1 and 3. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to find a suitable place to train. That was why they came to the Cangnan Plain. After realizing this, Ye Fan did not say anything, he looked around. ¡°Let¡¯s think of a way to leave first!¡± Everyone quickly nodded, their faces filled with joy. They felt that as long as Ye Fan was here, breaking out of the encirclement would not be a problem. Everyone was now at the periphery of the plain. The insects here were usually below Rank-4. Although there were many of them, they were all between Rank 2 and 3. There were only a few Rank-4 insects. To Ding Chengxin and the other students, they were a powerful enemy, but to Ye Fan, it was not a battle at all. He could easily deal with all the insect monsters here. But now, he could not kill all the insects. Moreover, Ye Fan was not interested in these low-level insects at all. After making a choice, he decided to break out. After receiving Ye Fan¡¯s order, the Firmament King let out a cry and spat out an incomparably ferocious dragon breath. The dragon breath was pale white, and it swept across the insects like a pillar of fire, destroying all the insects in its path. These insects had no resistance to such a powerful dragon breath at all. They could only die obediently, as easy as tearing off paper. Originally, there was no open space, but now that all the insects in one direction had been killed, a path had already cleared. Everyone was stunned, they knew that Ye Fan was powerful, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they realized that Ye Fan¡¯s strength had already exceeded their imagination. With a simple attack, more than a hundred insect monsters were instantly killed. Such a shocking scene instantly made them feel a powerful impact. Everyone¡¯s gazes landed on the Firmament King, their faces filled with shock. ¡°This must be a pure-blooded dragon pet!¡± Among these people, Ding Chengxin was the most knowledgeable. At this moment, he recognized the dragon and could not help but gasp. Pure dragon pets were at least Rank-6, and each of them had high potential. Where did Ye Fan get such a precious dragon pet? It did not take long for him to react. There was no time to think about this now. After calming down, he hurriedly led everyone into formation, ready to break out at any time. Chen Xin also came back to her senses. It was not the time to act coquettishly. She let go of Ye Fan with a red face, and Ye Fan touched her head and looked around. The students had all lost their pets to varying degrees after the fierce battle. There were not enough of them to break out safely. Ding Chengxin also realized this question and could not help but frown. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem to break out, but I¡¯m afraid there will be a large number of casualties.¡± Although Ye Fan¡¯s pets were powerful, they couldn¡¯t protect so many people at the same time. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Anissa, who was beside him, stretched out her palm. With a raise of her hand, the blood flowing out of the insect corpses within a hundred miles surged. Chapter 188 - 188 Break Out 188 Break Out Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the blood quickly surged to form the Blood Guards in armor and holding long sabers. This was Creature Summoning. In an instant, more than a hundred Blood Guards appeared and slashed at the insects. After Anissa evolved into a Marquis, the strength of the Blood Guards she summoned increased greatly. Each of them was comparable to an intermediate Rank-4. Moreover, in the current situation, the raw strength of this blood was not high. If it was the blood of a high-level insect, the Blood Guards she summoned would be even stronger than now. Even so, it was enough to deal with Rank 2 to 3. In an instant, blood-red saber beams bloomed on the plain. In just a few seconds, a large number of insects died on the spot, and their numbers decreased visibly. Ding Chengxin and the students felt their vision suddenly brighten. They looked around in shock at the sudden emptiness around them and were speechless for a long time. This was too strong. It felt like they were clearing the area!! Wails echoed in the Cangnan Plain. Although the number of insects surrounding them was shocking, their individual strength was inferior to the Blood Guards. More than 300 Blood Guards slashed out a path in a short period of time. ¡°It¡¯s time to go.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s tone was calm, everyone came back to their senses. Ding Chengxin looked at Ye Fan in shock, then immediately left with the students. Although insects kept pouncing over, they were all blocked outside and could not hurt the students. Although the team advanced slowly, they were very determined. The students who were surrounded by insects and struggling just now felt like they were in a dream at this moment. Because it was so easy for them to break out of the encirclement now. They thought that they would have to fight a bitter battle. In fact, they didn¡¯t have to do anything at all. Ye Fan¡¯s pet alone could stop countless insects outside. ¡°This is too powerful.¡± ¡°His strength is really enviable. Moreover, his pet can summon so many Rank-4 Blood Guards.¡± ¡°This vampire pet is really strong. It¡¯s at least Rank-7.¡± ¡°So Ye Fan is already Rank-7?¡± Everyone discussed softly, but this last sentence caused a huge commotion. Ding Chengxin couldn¡¯t help but look at Anissa and realize that her aura had indeed reached Rank-7. ¡°It¡¯s really a Rank-7.¡± Ding Chengxin was extremely shocked. The shock on his face could not be concealed. He did not expect Ye Fan¡¯s strength to increase so quickly in just a few months. Not long after the school tournament, Ye Fan had already broken through to Rank-7. This speed was too shocking. It was unbelievable. He was jealous and envious. He had mixed feelings. After all, he was already in his forties and a qualified Beast Tamer. He was also a teacher at the West Eagle Academy. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t compare to a first-year student. Chen Xin sensed Anissa¡¯s aura and looked at Ye Fan confidently. ¡°You¡¯ve already advanced to Rank-7?¡± Ye Fan nodded, he did not hide anything. ¡°I just broke through not long ago.¡± Although everyone had guessed it, Ye Fan taking the initiative to admit it still brought a lot of impact to everyone. They all praised him. Ye Fan was not even twenty years old, but he had already reached Rank-7. ¡°Such aptitude is simply a genius among geniuses.¡± ¡°He reached Rank-7 before the age of 20. This speed is really enviable.¡± ¡°Even half of him is already very invincible.¡± ¡°Half is good! 1/10 is fine too.¡± Everyone sighed. Chen Xin looked at Ye Fan with starry eyes. She had already fallen for him. Ye Fan did not care about these discussions and gazes. He focused on breaking out of the encirclement. Time passed slowly. They were getting closer and closer to the exit, but the number of insects chasing after them did not decrease. Instead, it increased! Rank-3 to 4 Insects continued to expand. There were even Rank-5 Insects. The adventurers in the periphery were usually Rank-2 to 3. How could they defeat Rank-5 Insects? Along the way, be it the defending teams or the teams that wanted to break through, they were all swept up by the insects like the waves in the sea. ¡°These should be insects deep in the plains.¡± Ding Chengxin felt that something was wrong. The situation was very strange. ¡°The range of activity of the insects on the plain is usually very fixed. Even if it¡¯s an insect tide, there¡¯s no reason for the insects in the depths to come to the periphery. Something big must have happened.¡± Ye Fan agreed with him, but now was not the time to find out the reason. The Adventurer¡¯s Association had to investigate the reason, the most important thing now was to leave the plains. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed as he summoned all his other pets. Although there were many insects, his pets brought about a crushing situation. It was much easier than before. Anissa returned to Ye Fan¡¯s side to protect him. She had to replenish the Blood Guards while protecting the team, in case anything happened. Although Ye Fan¡¯s combat strength was high, it was only in terms of Soul Power. He could not compare to the battle-hardened Anissa behind him in terms of vigilance. The explosion of the talismans sounded, and dozens of insects were instantly torn to pieces. As the other pets joined in, the speed at which the insects were destroyed increased greatly. The skeleton also activated its summoning skill. The ones they summoned were all intermediate Rank-6. Although their numbers were not comparable to the Blood Guards, their strength was not low. The vanguard formed by 20 skeletons opened a path at the front of the team under the leadership of the Skeleton. The Duke of Hellfire also set up the Red Forbidden Zone to disrupt the pursuit of the insects. The four pets were all brave and good at fighting. The students were dumbfounded. ¡°All four pets are at the peak of Rank-6. Their combat strength is comparable to Rank-7.¡± Ding Chengxin sized up Ye Fan¡¯s pets with shock in his eyes. The strength that Ye Fan had displayed now was comparable to some top Rank-7 Beast Tamers. Moreover, what Ye Fan had displayed might not be his full strength. He was far stronger than Beast Tamers of the same level. Whether it was Rank-5 or Rank-6, he was invincible among those of the same level. It was probably the same now. Ding Chengxin was shocked. Chen Xin recovered from her shock, her face filled with pride. She trusted Ye Fan 100%, so the shocking strength Ye Fan displayed was normal in her eyes. No matter what, Ye Fan¡¯s strength raised the morale of the entire group. After about ten minutes, everyone could already see the edge of the plain. Everyone was overjoyed. Just as everyone was about to escape from the plain, on a hill 500 kilometers away, two gazes of unknown origin were sizing them up. ¡°I¡¯m so lucky. I saw quite delicious food.¡± The person who said this was a tall demonic human. His blood-red eyes were fixed on Ye Fan, his gaze was filled with greed. Chapter 189 - 189 Paying the Price 189 Paying the Price Demonic humans loved to eat human Beast Tamers, especially geniuses like that young man. ¡°I really can¡¯t wait to taste him.¡± The demonic human licked its lips, its eyes filled with intense killing intent. A thin man stood beside him. His lips curled into a cold smile. !! ¡°Your Highness Ferman, don¡¯t underestimate that person. He is Ye Fan, whom I mentioned to you before.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic human¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°He was the one who killed Lunn?¡± ¡°Yes, it is.¡± The thin man smiled and his gaze turned cold. ¡°This person has repeatedly destroyed the cult¡¯s plan and killed many of our higher-ups. He¡¯s a thorn in our side. If not for the fact that we¡¯re too busy, the elders would have wanted to kill him personally.¡± After the thin man finished speaking, Ferman looked at Ye Fan with less contempt. ¡°In that case, his strength is not bad. Although Lunn¡¯s strength is at the bottom among us, it will still take some effort to kill him.¡± Although he said that, his face was still filled with confidence. ¡°Even so, it¡¯s easy for me to kill this weak human Beast Tamer.¡± After hearing this, the thin man sneered. Their plan this time was not targeting Ye Fan, but it was a rare opportunity, they could not let it go easily. Moreover, they happened to have a strong helper by their side, so the thin man¡¯s smile appeared crazily. ¡°Then how to deal with Ye Fan will depend on Prince Ferman.¡± Ferman nodded, his cold eyes filled with brutality and coldness. ¡°He deserves to die for tainting the glorious demonic human race. Let him die as an apology for Lunn.¡± The closer they got to the edge of the plain, the fewer insects chased after them. Under Ye Fan¡¯s orders, the four pets exterminated the remaining insects together. At this moment, everyone finally saw the exit of the plains. The students revealed happy smiles. ¡°I can finally leave. I won¡¯t come to this godforsaken place again.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m still very curious why there¡¯s such a sudden insect tide here.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let your guard down until the last moment. In movies, big bosses usually appear at the last moment.¡± ¡°Why are you saying such unlucky things at a time like this?¡± Suddenly, a loud sound interrupted everyone¡¯s discussion. Everyone turned around and saw a huge pit suddenly appear on the plain more than 50 meters away. In the middle of the pit, there was a rotting monster more than ten meters tall that was emitting an evil aura. ¡°Rotten Flesh Dragon!¡± After seeing the dragon clearly, Ding Chengxin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. This was an intermediate Rank 8 monster. Why did it appear? But soon, he no longer had to be puzzled because two people jumped down from the back of the Rotten Flesh Dragon. One was two meters tall and emitted a powerful evil aura. He had two horns on his head and was clearly a demonic human. The other was wearing a black robe and had an extremely thin face. ¡°What?!¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression changed drastically. Then, he looked at the thin man beside him, his eyes even more shocked. ¡°Du Kang!! Why are you here?¡± As soon as he said this, he immediately understood. His expression turned to shock and anger. ¡°Is the insect tide because of you?¡± Du Kang smiled coldly. He did not bother to answer his question. He only looked at Ye Fan with killing intent in his eyes. ¡°What a coincidence, Ye Fan, we met here today, I can deal with you.¡± Du Kang¡¯s tone was filled with excitement. Originally, their plan here was to rope in the demonic humans, not deal with Ye Fan, but they happened to meet them. This was truly fate! His gaze swept across the area, and his eyes became colder and colder. ¡°Ding Chengxin, you¡¯re teaching Class A of the first grade at West Eagle Academy, right?¡± ¡°So, if all the elite first-year students behind you die here today, won¡¯t West Eagle Academy suffer heavy losses?¡± These words were extremely cold. As he spoke, he glanced at the students around him. The evil aura emitted by the Rotten Flesh Dragon behind him made the students¡¯ faces turn pale. Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression changed drastically when he heard this. That was right. If all the students in the class died here today, it would definitely be the academy¡¯s loss, and he would be the academy¡¯s sinner. ¡°Who was the one who jinxed it just now? I told you not to say anything unlucky. Now, you¡¯ve really made it.¡± ¡°Who knows!! I didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡± The student who was overjoyed just now was now on the verge of tears. He had just escaped and encountered enemies again. It had not been easy for him to get rid of those insects. Now, he had encountered people from the cult. Moreover, the two people in front of him seemed to be quite strong. Chen Xin¡¯s face was pale. She tugged at Ye Fan¡¯s sleeve and looked at the two of them nervously. Ye Fan looked at her comfortingly before asking Ding Chengxin in a low voice. ¡°Do you know this Du Kang?¡± Ding Chengxin said solemnly, ¡°The elder in the cult is a high-ranking member. He is a Rank 8 Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Rank 8¡­¡± Ye Fan raised his eyebrows. The cult master of this cult was only Rank 9. Rank 8¡¯s status in the cult was obvious, and this enemy was the strongest he had encountered so far. Other than this, there was also a demonic human beside him. Ye Fan glanced at Ferman and met his gaze. Facing Ye Fan¡¯s gaze, Ferman said coldly: ¡°You were the one who killed Lunn?¡± ¡°Lunn?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s gaze flickered. He only remembered after a long time. ¡°The one in the Rock Valley? Yes, I killed him!¡± After he finished speaking, Ding Chengxin was stunned. The appearance of the demonic human had caused a huge commotion in the circle. Almost everyone knew about it. As a mentor, he definitely knew about it. Moreover, the military had found a lot of information about the demonic human. Every adult demonic human was around Rank 8. Moreover, from Ye Fan¡¯s conversation with the demonic human in front of him, Ye Fan should have killed a demonic human not long ago, who was this person¡¯s companion. So, Ye Fan killed a Rank 8 demonic human not long ago? This was too¡­ unbelievable! He felt his mind go blank, as if he was hallucinating. This news was too unreal. Ye Fan had become a Rank-7 Beast Tamer before he was 20 years old. Ding Chengxin was already extremely shocked. Now, he heard that Ye Fan had killed a Rank 8. The impact of this news was too great. He turned to look at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. Was this guy really human? With such strength and aptitude, he could not just be described as a genius. The students looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know the inside story at all. They didn¡¯t know what a demonic human was at all. They just felt that the evil-looking horned monster in front of them didn¡¯t seem like a human or a battle pet. Therefore, they didn¡¯t know what killing a demonic human meant. Chapter 190 - 190 I Can Kill a Second One 190 I Can Kill a Second One However, looking at Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression, it seemed like this was a very shocking and sensational matter. Just as Ye Fan finished speaking, Ferman¡¯s cold gaze lowered by a few degrees, his eyes filled with killing intent. ¡°It¡¯s not strange for a piece of trash like Lunn to be killed. However, he¡¯s a demonic human after all. You, a mere human, have to pay the price for killing him. Today, you¡¯ll pay with your life!¡± After hearing this, Ye Fan¡¯s expression could not be any calmer. !! ¡°If I can kill one, I can kill the second.¡± ¡°How arrogant! There¡¯s a price to pay for speaking!¡± Ferman¡¯s killing intent erupted as he sneered. As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body emitted an evil aura. This aura spread out in all directions, and the air became heavy. Everyone seemed to be suffocating, suppressed by this aura. For a moment, everyone¡¯s faces lost all color. Their faces turned pale. At this moment, they felt the power of the enemy. Ding Chengxin¡¯s face was also filled with shock. He did not expect the enemy in front of him to be so powerful. Among the crowd, only Ye Fan had a calm expression from beginning to end, as if he was not worried at all. Ye Fan¡¯s expression was seen by Ferman, and the anger in his heart became more and more obvious. He really could not wait to tear Ye Fan into pieces, he really wanted to see if he would still be as calm as now when he was tortured by the fear of death. ¡°Boom!¡± Ferman roared and attacked Ye Fan like a charging warrior, his entire body emitting killing intent. ¡°Anissa.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± The clear female voice replied. Her graceful figure quickly flashed past and fearlessly rushed towards the incoming demonic human. With a bang, under everyone¡¯s gaze, the red and black lights collided. It was as if high-speed trains had collided with each other, emitting a violent and ear-piercing sound. Everyone felt that their eardrums had been shaken. Moreover, the shock wave spread in all directions after the collision. Everyone had no choice but to retreat. Moreover, the Rank 8 Rotten Flesh Dragon howled and immediately retreated. The center of the battlefield had already sunk into the ground, forming a huge pit that was more than 20 meters in diameter. It was as if a layer had been cut off by a spoon. Cracks were everywhere on the edge of the pit, like spiderwebs, making it a shocking sight. Everyone gasped when they saw this scene. They felt that this scene was too shocking. Du Kang¡¯s expression changed. Why was this blood-sucking pet so powerful? Although he had guessed that the person who could kill Lunn must be extraordinary and at least Rank 8, he was still shocked after seeing it with his own eyes. ¡°He¡¯s clearly only at Rank-7, but he¡¯s as strong as a Rank 8. Just as the rumors say, this kid has many pets that can fight above his level.¡± Du Kang was secretly shocked, he wanted to get rid of Ye Fan here even more badly. Explosions continued to ring out on the plains. At this moment, a pair of Blood Guards appeared behind Anissa. They moved quickly, as fast as lightning. With two swords in their hands, they slashed out a bloody light that filled the sky, transforming into a huge net that instantly enveloped Ferman. The sound of sharp swords cutting through the sky was endless. Moreover, it was accompanied by the light of magic and countless lightning bolts. They attacked Ferman like poisonous snakes. Skills kept flashing, and all kinds of spells appeared one after another. Every time Ferman was injured, his blood would be sucked away by Anissa immediately, turning into substances that could replenish her energy. Then, it would transform into new attacks. Ferman was very angry. The difference in strength between the two sides should be three levels, but Anissa¡¯s skills and talent were endless. Her methods were also very disturbing. The two of them were evenly matched. Ding Chengxin, who was watching this scene with wide eyes, could not hide the shock on his face. ¡°A Rank-7 fighting a Rank-8¡­¡± If he had some doubts about Ye Fan killing a demonic human before, now, these doubts were all gone. There was only shock. He had seen many vampire battle pets, and this vampire girl in front of him was clearly a Marquis, but her strength was comparable to a Duke¡¯s. It was simply shocking. It was unknown where Ye Fan had contracted these powerful pets. Even Ding Chengxin, the teacher, was so shocked. Not to mention anyone else, the students were all dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. ¡°This power is really terrifying and magnificent.¡± ¡°Is this a Rank-7? No matter how I look at it, it¡¯s already a Rank 8!¡± ¡°What the hell is that thing with horns?¡± ¡°Teacher said just now that that thing is called a demonic human.¡± ¡°Ye Fan killed such a powerful one before? This is too powerful.¡± These words made them all remember that in the conversation between Ye Fan and the enemy, Ye Fan had killed such a demonic human. At that time, the students could not understand the meaning of this sentence. However, at this moment, they were extremely shocked. They completely understood why the teacher was so shocked. Ye Fan had actually killed such a terrifying creature before. The intense shock made their minds go blank. The other party was a Rank 8 monster. To first-year students like them, Rank 8 was an incomparably powerful existence. They could only watch from afar, it was difficult to meet the other party¡¯s eyes. But Ye Fan had killed such a powerful enemy, this made everyone feel that it was unreal, but the same thing was happening in front of them. Anissa and Ferman fought intensely. It was obvious that Ye Fan had such powerful strength. Their conversation was not fake at all. Explosions sounded incessantly, and loud bangs echoed on the plain. No one could see Anissa and Ferman¡¯s fighting moves clearly at all. They could only see two rays of red and black light covering the sky. At this moment, the place was surrounded by energy waves. Although everyone was far away, they could still feel the intense battle. The surrounding students were already dumbfounded and speechless. Du Kang¡¯s face was a little gloomy. He did not expect that Ye Fan would be able to resist Ferman with just one pet. Ferman was above Rank 8. At this moment, he was evenly matched with a Rank-7 vampire. If he hadn¡¯t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn¡¯t have believed it. ¡°This kid is really strange.¡± Du Kang¡¯s gaze towards Ye Fan was getting darker and darker. After noticing the other party¡¯s gaze, Ye Fan smiled slightly. ¡°Your partner is in deep trouble now. Aren¡¯t you going to help?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s calm expression and incomparably indifferent tone successfully angered Du Kang. He sneered, feeling that Ye Fan was courting death. ¡°If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish.¡± Ye Fan also laughed: ¡°Do you think you will win?¡± Chapter 191 - 191 I Admit You’re Very Strong 191 I Admit You¡¯re Very Strong ¡°Hehe!¡± Du Kang looked at Ye Fan¡¯s four pets and mocked them arrogantly. ¡°I admit that your pets are very strong, but you¡¯ve already wasted a lot of combat strength just now. You might not be able to defeat me even if all of you attack together!¡± After Du Kang said this, Ye Fan¡¯s expression did not change, but Ding Chengxin and the students showed some nervousness. They felt that he was right. Ye Fan had exhausted a lot of his pets in the battle just now. He probably didn¡¯t have much combat strength now. !! However, Du Kang had been hiding in the dark and had not attacked. His combat strength was full now, and he was a Rank 8. Now, he was very troublesome for them and a powerful enemy. Ye Fan¡¯s strongest pet was already entangled by Ferman and did not have the time to deal with others. Under such circumstances, the outcome of dealing with Du Kang was unpredictable. Thinking of this, everyone was nervous and worried, but Du Kang saw their expressions and the smile on his face deepened. But what surprised him was that under such a disadvantageous situation, Ye Fan still had a calm expression, as if he could handle it easily. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s calm expression, Du Kang felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, but it disappeared not long after. Even if Ye Fan¡¯s battle strength was not depleted at all, he could guarantee that he would definitely kill Ye Fan. Moreover, Ye Fan¡¯s strength had greatly decreased, so killing him would be even easier. At the thought that he could immediately help the cult kill this thorn in their side, Du Kang was extremely excited. ¡°A genius who has distinguished himself. Let me personally send you back!¡± Du Kang¡¯s eyes were cold. Sensing its master¡¯s emotions, the Rotten Flesh Dragon howled and walked forward, emitting a strong evil aura, causing the expressions of the surrounding people to change drastically. A faint smile appeared in Ye Fan¡¯s eyes. He looked at Du Kang as his smile deepened. Then, he summoned the system and looked at the system interface. When he was in the Dragon Bone, Ye Fan had exchanged all the evolution materials for his pets. He had already prepared all the materials he needed. As long as their growth was maxed out, he could evolve them at any time. ¡°Although it¡¯s a little early, since it¡¯s an emergency, there¡¯s nothing we can do.¡± After Ye Fan finished looking at the system interface, he stared at the Firmament King¡¯s data. The other party had sent a Rotten Flesh Dragon, which was also a dragon-type pet. He could do it too. The growth of the pet had already reached about 60%. He only needed to spend 200 to 300 evolution points to max out the growth. Ye Fan directly chose to evolve. Following that, the data on the interface changed again. Name: Firmament King. Attributes: Wind, Thunder Its level directly advanced to the peak of Rank-7, and its talent and skills did not change much. Ye Fan shifted his gaze to the new talent. The talents to be unlocked were: Thunder Soul. It could strengthen the Thunder Element, greatly reducing the preparation time for casting spells. Moreover, the damage of the Thunder Element had increased by 20%. Unlocking this talent required 500 evolution points. Skills to be unlocked: Hell Thundercloud. It can summon thunderclouds from the depths of hell and deal lightning damage to the target multiple times. Requires 300 evolution points. Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. Most of the Firmament King¡¯s skills were lightning and wind. The Lightning Soul could increase damage by 20% and reduce the casting time. It could undoubtedly greatly increase combat strength. ¡°This talent is not bad.¡± Ye Fan was very happy, and he directly unlocked the Lightning Soul and the Hell Thundercloud. This entire process took about ten seconds. To the outside world, Ye Fan was only distracted for a short while. But Ye Fan¡¯s appearance was misunderstood by Du Kang. He thought that Ye Fan was stunned by the dragon¡¯s suppression. His eyes were filled with disdain. He did not plan to delay any longer and directly let the Rotten Flesh Dragon attack Ye Fan. The Rotten Flesh Dragon roared and flew towards Ye Fan, its evil aura and nauseating stench pouncing at Ye Fan. Ding Chengxin and the others subconsciously retreated in fear when they saw this. ¡°What should we do now? That monster is attacking!¡± ¡°Let your pets do it!¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to fight? I can¡¯t beat him no matter what!¡± ¡°I¡¯m still young. I don¡¯t want to die yet!¡± Although the students of Class A were the elites of the school, no one had experienced such a situation before. Moreover, the dragon might emitted by the Rotten Flesh Dragon was enough to make them panic. Coupled with the magnification of their fear, many people had already collapsed! ¡°What should we do¡­¡± Ding Chengxin gritted his teeth to keep himself calm. Then, he wanted his pets to meet the attack. Although he knew that he couldn¡¯t block it, he didn¡¯t want to do nothing. At this moment, a dragon¡¯s cry sounded. Everyone¡¯s panicked cries stopped at this moment. A vigorous dragon emitted a powerful dragon might that instantly suppressed the dragon might of the Rotten Flesh Dragon. Everyone suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and the panic in their hearts dissipated a lot at this moment. They turned around and saw that this scene was really unbelievable. The Firmament King raised its head and roared at the sky. Its originally huge body became several times stronger and instantly grew five to six meters tall. The platinum scales slowly grew larger, incomparably dazzling under the sunlight, and the dragon¡¯s might was stronger than before. Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. They did not expect this to happen. ¡°This is evolution?¡± Ding Chengxin was dumbfounded. He could not believe it at all. Du Kang was the same. His eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°This¡­ This is impossible!¡± Du Kang could not believe that the scene in front of him was real. He looked at the Firmament King and was very puzzled. Why did it evolve so coincidentally at such a time? It seemed to have been arranged. Du Kang¡¯s gaze turned to Ye Fan again, then a thought appeared in his mind. It was impossible for there to be such a coincidence. Could it be that Ye Fan could evolve this pet at any time? ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Every time, a pet needs a lot of conditions and materials to evolve. Besides, you have to be lucky. I¡¯ve never heard of a Beast Tamer who can evolve a pet at any time.¡± At this thought, his originally shocked expression eased a lot, but then he felt intense suffocation. ¡°This kid¡¯s luck accounts for most of it. Coincidentally, the pet evolved at this time, and it¡¯s a dragon-type pet.¡± Du Kang gritted his teeth in anger. After sensing its master¡¯s anger, the Rotten Flesh Dragon roared and attacked Ye Fan fiercely. However, the next cry was even louder than his. The Firmament King spread its wings and its huge body quickly moved forward to fight the Rotten Flesh Dragon. After the two collided, a huge energy wave quickly spread in all directions. The Firmament King had armor-like skin, and its body only swayed slightly. However, the Rotten Flesh Dragon staggered a few steps back. Even its roar was in pain. This impact seemed to have caused a lot of damage. Chapter 192 - 192 It Looks Very Rare 192 It Looks Very Rare Du Kang frowned. It was one thing for the vampire to be powerful, but what was wrong with this dragon pet? It clearly had the aura of a Rank-7, but its strength was not inferior to a Rank 8. He suspected that Ye Fan had some unspeakable secret, otherwise, how could he be so powerful when he was not even twenty years old? Under everyone¡¯s unbelievable gazes, the two dragons fought again. Both sides were dragons, so the dragon might and dragon breath they displayed were useless against both sides. The only things that could release damage were powerful physique and elemental skills. !! The Rotten Flesh Dragon had a poison skill that could spit out venom. Its sharp claws and teeth were poisonous, but unfortunately, the enemy it faced was the fully resistant Firmament King. The Firmament King had resistance to all these effects. Moreover, he had a perfect physique and the same vitality as a Legend. No poison could harm him. Without the poison ability, the Rotten Flesh Dragon¡¯s combat strength instantly weakened greatly. It relied on its own strength and dark elements to barely deal with the Firmament King. However, the Firmament King not only had the wind element, but also the lightning element. When these two elemental skills were combined, especially with the newly unlocked Thunder Soul, it did not take long for it to activate its skills. It could instantly attack. Not long after, the Rotten Flesh Dragon was beaten to the ground. The students were dumbfounded. They widened their jaws and could not raise their heads. They did not expect Ye Fan to be able to completely suppress the Rotten Flesh Dragon with just a Rank-7 pet. Du Kang¡¯s Rotten Flesh Dragon was an intermediate Rank-8 monster, and it was a dragon. It was simply amazing that it could gain the upper hand against such a pet. ¡°He¡¯s so strong! They¡¯re both dragon-type and are a major realm apart, but he can actually fight like this. He¡¯s too strong.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the pets this time? How can they be so strong?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but it looks very rare. It must be hard to come by.¡± Everyone¡¯s discussions were not concealed at all. After Du Kang heard this, he became even angrier. He looked at Ye Fan coldly. ¡°Do you think you can win just because you can withstand one of my pets? Don¡¯t be too naive.¡± After that, a light flashed beside him, and another pet appeared. This time, the pet that appeared was a skeleton in tattered clothes. This skeleton was covered in black gas and held a huge and sharp sickle. Looking at such a strange skeleton, Ding Chengxin¡¯s pupils constricted in disbelief. ¡°Skeleton Mo Xie!!¡± When Chen Xin saw Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression, she immediately asked, ¡°Teacher, is this Mo Xie skeleton very powerful?¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°It¡¯s not just powerful. Although it¡¯s not an evil monster, its combat strength is not inferior to the Rotten Flesh Dragon. Moreover, it¡¯s an intermediate Rank 8.¡± When the students heard this, their faces turned pale, and their smiles disappeared. ¡°Rank 8 again!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over this time. We don¡¯t have any pets that can fight him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid! We have many pets here, and Ye Fan is here. At most, we¡¯ll fight him together.¡± ¡°But even if all our pets attack, what if he summons something else?!¡± Everyone was stunned and speechless. Du Kang was at Rank 8, which meant that he had more than one Rank 8 pet. No one knew how many more Rank 8 pets he had. The students all looked at Ding Chengxin. Ding Chengxin instantly felt immense pressure. ¡°Du Kang probably doesn¡¯t have more than three Rank 8 pets. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t just be a high-ranking official in the cult, but an elder.¡± Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but the bitter smile on their faces did not change. Even if they were all together, they might not be able to deal with this Mo Xie. If a third one came out, they would have even less combat strength to deal with it. When Du Kang heard their discussion, he sneered in disdain. ¡°There¡¯s no need to summon another one to deal with trash like you. This skeleton can kill all of you.¡± This could be considered a tacit confirmation to their guess. ¡°You can¡¯t even spare your pets. Let¡¯s see what else you can do.¡± Ye Fan did not mind at all, he smiled calmly: ¡°Then don¡¯t blink, open your eyes and watch carefully.¡± After saying this, in the void that ordinary people could not see, the system interface appeared again. Ye Fan directly targeted the skeleton. Since the other party¡¯s pet was also a skeleton, he could deal with it with a pet of the same attribute. The growth of the skeleton was about 60% to 70%. He only needed to spend more than 200 evolution points to max out their growth. Ye Fan did not hesitate. The data changed at this moment. Name: Skeleton (Lieutenant Colonel) Attribute: Undead Level: High-level Rank-7 Just like before, the skeleton evolved by three levels and directly reached the upper level of Rank-7. Ye Fan quickly scanned the data, then looked at the new skill. Unlocked talent: Soul of Tenacity. It can increase the strength of the soul, strengthen the resistance to mental attacks, and increase the power of skills. Requires 500 evolution points. Unlocked skill: Flight. Can mobilize one¡¯s energy to fly in the sky. Moreover, the speed and time can be determined by one¡¯s strength. Requires 300 evolution points to unlock. ¡°It can strengthen the soul and enable flying¡­¡± Ye Fan was a little happy, because these two skills were very useful. Without hesitation, he unlocked it. During the evolution process, the atmosphere was very strange, because Ye Fan¡¯s words contained confidence and calmness. Everyone was stunned. Du Kang looked at Ye Fan in shock and confusion. He really did not know where his confidence came from. ¡°Does he have other trump cards?¡± Du Kang looked at Ye Fan¡¯s pets in confusion. The vampire and the dragon pet were fighting at this moment and couldn¡¯t retreat at all. They could also ignore the support pet next to them that didn¡¯t have any combat strength. Then there were only three left. From their auras, they should be Rank-6. Even if they could fight above their level, they could not defeat Mo Xie. So where did Ye Fan get his confidence from? Du Kang was very puzzled and could not be bothered to think about it anymore. He directly ordered his pet to attack everyone. Ding Chengxin and the students¡¯ expressions changed drastically. They all looked at Ye Fan. The only way to resolve the crisis now was for Ye Fan to summon a battle pet. Sensing everyone¡¯s expectations, Du Kang sneered in disdain. ¡°What are you still daydreaming about? Can Ye Fan let another pet evolve?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he felt an ordinary aura descend. The area within a hundred miles was enveloped by it. The smile on his face instantly froze. He turned around and looked at the source of the aura, almost stunned on the spot in disbelief. Chapter 193 - 193 Same Type of Battle Pet 193 Same Type of Battle Pet At this moment, the skeleton, which was ten meters away, was covered in black fog. Strong demonic energy spread in all directions like boiling water. Unlike before, its demonic qi had increased by several times. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was happening at this moment. At this moment, whether it was Du Kang or the others, they looked like they had seen a ghost and found it difficult to accept this fact. Another pet had evolved! Ding Chengxin¡¯s mind went blank and he was dumbfounded. ¡°Can Ye Fan really evolve pets at any time?¡± !! This unrealistic thought flashed through his mind. In his decades of life, he had never heard of anyone with such a powerful ability, so his rationality thought that it was impossible. However, if he denied this fact, how could he explain the current situation? The first evolution could be said to be a coincidence, but it had evolved twice in a row and was at a critical moment. They did not believe that this was a coincidence. Compared to Ding Chengxin and the students¡¯ shock, Du Kang wanted to vomit blood. He felt that his world view had collapsed because of Ye Fan¡¯s shocking actions. Another one had evolved, and at such a coincidental time. Could Ye Fan really evolve his pet at any time? He was very depressed because he had never encountered such a strange thing. Just as everyone was in shock, the skeleton had already taken the lead to attack Mo Xie. There were skeletons on both sides, all emitting black aura. From afar, they looked rather similar. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Skeleton and Mo Xie activated their Chop techniques at the same time. Neither side dodged. They both withstood the slash and ruthlessly hit each other. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the skeleton only trembled slightly and didn¡¯t have any other reaction. However, Mo Xie was pushed back a few meters. Moreover, its eyes flickered with green flames, and there was a deep mark on the place where she had just been hit. In that attack just now, it was obvious that Mo Xie was at a disadvantage. Now, Du Kang¡¯s expression was a little panicked. He could see very clearly that the skeleton¡¯s slash just now was the same as Mo Xie¡¯s, with spiritual power attached to it. ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s skeleton also has soul attacks?¡± Du Kang was shocked and angry. According to the information gathered by the cult, Ye Fan¡¯s pet¡¯s defense and agility were outstanding. It could be called a powerful close combat pet and had awakened many skills. However, he had never heard of it mastering soul power. Moreover, it was not only offensive, but also had a very powerful defensive ability against soul attacks. Mo Xie was a very rare soul-type pet. His sickle had Soul Power on it. Every slash would cause a lot of soul damage to the other party. It was the nemesis of close combat experts. He should have the upper hand against close combat pets. But now, he was defeated by Ye Fan¡¯s pet. It was unknown what talent Ye Fan had to be able to withstand it without suffering any damage. ¡°His physical defense is so strong, and his soul defense isn¡¯t weak either. What¡¯s going on¡­¡± Du Kang was very angry. This was because his Battle Pet¡¯s strongest technique in battle was soul attacks. Once the other party was restrained, its combat strength would instantly decrease by 30% to 40%. But he did not have the upper hand against Ye Fan¡¯s skeleton at all. It was even difficult for them to fight to a draw. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, the skeleton slashed at Mo Xie, and then its body trembled. The surrounding environment immediately became heavy, and the shadow behind the skeleton appeared, becoming larger and larger. The aura emitted by the phantom was suffocating. The pressure was like demons that had descended to the world, making people feel intense weight. Its eyes, which flickered with red sparks, were even more eye-catching, as if they emitted an aura of death. It was as if one¡¯s soul was being pinched in the palm of someone¡¯s hand when they looked at him, as if the other party would crush it in the next second. The faces of the people watching the battle turned pale. At this moment, they actually felt suffocated. Even the onlookers would feel this way, let alone Mo Xie, who was opposite the skeleton. The soul flames in its eyes flickered violently, as if a wild wind had blown up a flame that could be extinguished at any time. The black aura around him also became more and more surging. It clearly slowly weakened, and the bones in his chin began to tremble, as if he was shouting. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mo Xie was suffering a lot of damage. The skeleton didn¡¯t give the other party a chance to catch its breath at all. The moment the huge phantom disappeared, it waved the bone knife in its hand and slashed at the other party. Mo Xie was originally at a disadvantage because of the skeleton¡¯s restraint on the soul. At this moment, under the opponent¡¯s Death Gaze, he was severely injured. He was no match for the skeleton at all. In the blink of an eye, Mo Xie was beaten into a sorry state by the skeleton. The students were dumbfounded. They were shocked and found the scene in front of them unbelievable. The scene was very spectacular. They did not expect Ye Fan to evolve a pet and directly suppress Mo Xie. Looking at the current situation, they would soon win. ¡°What skill did that phantom use? It¡¯s so powerful! I feel like I¡¯m about to stop breathing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably a skill that can impact the soul. Especially undead pets. They¡¯re most afraid of such attacks on the soul. Once they¡¯re hit, they¡¯ll definitely be severely injured.¡± ¡°Even if you don¡¯t say it, we can tell that the other party¡¯s Mo Xie seems to be about to lose.¡± ¡°Ye Fan is awesome!!¡± Everyone praised, looking at Ye Fan with admiration and respect. Du Kang was about to vomit blood. He had not expected this outcome at all. ¡°This evil skeleton actually has a big move like Death Gaze!¡± Du Kang was considered a knowledgeable person. At first glance, he recognized the Skeleton¡¯s skill. His face was filled with confusion and shock. Death Gaze was a high-level soul attack. Those who could master such a skill were usually pets with noble bloodlines, such as the Hades Banshee and the Fallen Angel. This was only a skeleton in front of him. How could it have mastered such a high-level skill? ¡°Could this be a skeleton with the royal bloodline?¡± Du Kang looked at the skeleton again in surprise, feeling more jealous of Ye Fan. Why did he get all the good things? There were so many outstanding and capable pets. How good would it be if they were his? If he had these pets, he would definitely be able to train them even better. This thought lingered in his mind, and he completely forgot that almost all of Ye Fan¡¯s pets could fight above their level, but none of his pets could do the same. It took him a long time to react. Looking at the stalemate, he summoned another pet in a daze for a few seconds. Light flashed. This time, a two-meter-tall mantis appeared. It was a Rank 8 Evil Mantis with a pitch-black shell and sharp claws! Chapter 194 - 194 It’s Just a Coincidence 194 It¡¯s Just a Coincidence ¡°Another intermediate Rank 8, Evil Mantis!¡± Ding Chengxin¡¯s expression became much heavier. He looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression, and the others were the same. This was Du Kang¡¯s last Rank 8 pet. As long as they could resist it, they had a chance of winning. At this moment, Du Kang also looked at Ye Fan, feeling a little nervous, afraid that Ye Fan would get another evolving pet. He was traumatized. !! Sensing the gazes of the surrounding people, Ye Fan shook his head silently, because he only had more than 600 evolution points. If he wanted to evolve his pet, he could only support the last one, but he would definitely not be able to unlock their talent. After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan decided not to do this. After all, he had evolved two pets in a row. Even if it was a coincidence, they could still believe it. If he evolved a third pet, it would be impossible to hide it. Even a fool could tell that it was not a coincidence. At that time, the news that he could evolve pets at will would probably spread, and his system would be exposed. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, he dispelled this thought. Besides, it was not the end yet. Ye Fan shook his head, and Ding Chengxin and the others saw it all. ¡°The evolution of these two pets is just a coincidence. How can it happen again?¡± After everyone heard this, although they were relieved that Ye Fan did not have such heaven-defying ability and their guess was wrong, they quickly became nervous. Now that Ye Fan did not have any methods to resist, they did not have the strength to fight either. Were they all going to die here? At this moment, Du Kang heaved a sigh of relief and laughed out loud in ecstasy. ¡°I thought you could evolve your pet at any time. I didn¡¯t expect that you were just lucky. Now that your luck is gone, you don¡¯t have any other methods, right? I still have a Rank 8 pet. How can you fight it?¡± Ye Fan had a calm expression: ¡°It is very easy to defeat you. There is no need to evolve.¡± His confidence instantly made Du Kang nervous. For some reason, he suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness. Before he could come back to his senses, Ye Fan said loudly, ¡°Anissa, it¡¯s about time to end this!¡± Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Hearing Ye Fan¡¯s tone and meaning, everyone was confused. After Anissa suddenly responded, a red blood light enveloped her entire body, and a terrifying aura quickly spread to a radius of a hundred meters. Everyone felt suffocated, but they couldn¡¯t care less. They just watched in a daze as the red blood light slowly shrank and returned to Anissa¡¯s body. The long dress on her body instantly turned into a princess dress. Moreover, she was wearing battle armor. It was a very exquisite black armor. It was beautiful and dignified, and her boots had become high-heeled iron boots. Her two eyes were green and red, and they were burning with flames. What was even more shocking was the aura spreading from her body. It was countless times stronger than before. Just looking at it made one¡¯s legs go weak. At this time, they suddenly understood what Ye Fan meant. It turned out that Anissa did not use her full strength and was only holding the other party back. Her full strength had been hidden. ¡°This¡­ This is impossible!¡± Mo Xie showed an unbelievable expression. Among the people present, he was the most shocked. He did not expect that even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to gain the upper hand, but Ye Fan was still hiding his true strength. Looking at the extremely oppressive Anissa in front of him, Ferman felt immense pressure, and his heart felt like it was in an ice house. Anissa ignored the gazes of the surrounding people and raised the blood sword in her hand to quickly attack Ferman. With a bang, an ear-piercing explosion sounded in the sky. Ferman fell back as if he had been hit by a cannon and fell to the ground. Dust rose from the ground. The Rank 8 demonic human was beaten into a sorry state like a stray dog. ¡°Rank 8¡­ No, Rank 9!¡± Ferman already understood Ye Fan¡¯s true strength. He got up in a sorry state. His face was ashen. Anyone who saw him would be shocked. He did not understand why the other party could erupt with so much energy in such a short period of time. Her combat strength had almost reached Rank 9. There was only one level between Rank 8 and Rank 9, but there was a huge gap between them that was difficult to cross. The difference in strength between the two was huge, even greater than the difference between Rank 7 and Rank 8. There was a huge difference between a high-level Rank 8 and a peak Rank 8. The higher the level, the greater the difference in strength. Unless the pet had awakened many innate skills, it was wishful thinking for him to be able to fight above his level. The aptitude of the demons was more outstanding than ordinary monsters and pets, but they had not reached the level of fighting beyond their level. The other party¡¯s strength had instantly increased to Rank 9. To him, she was like an unbeatable enemy. He could not fight back at all. He could only hold on bitterly under the other party¡¯s attack. ¡°Why¡­ why exactly!¡± Du Kang looked at this scene in disbelief, his face filled with disappointment. This was because he had never expected things to develop like this. A Rank 8 demonic human and a Rank 8 Beast Tamer couldn¡¯t deal with Ye Fan and these new students. According to his expectations, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult. However, things were completely different from what he had imagined. Ferman was suppressed to the point of being unable to fight back. Ye Fan could deal with the two Rank 8 pets he summoned easily. The guy clearly looked like a young kid, but why couldn¡¯t he even defeat him with Ferman? This outcome was unacceptable. At this moment, Du Kang felt his mind go blank and he was in a daze. He didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± Suddenly, a scream pulled him back to his senses. He turned around and saw that Ferman¡¯s face was already twisted in pain. Anissa attacked expressionlessly. The blood was sucked into her palm. After rolling, it formed a spear and quickly flew towards Ferman. The blood that flowed out of him was used by Anissa to turn into a weapon. After seeing this, Ferman was filled with grief and indignation. However, he didn¡¯t have time to think too much about it. He could only endure the pain and resist with all his might. Anyone could tell that he was in a hopeless situation and would be defeated soon. At this moment, the battle between the Rotten Flesh Dragon and the Firmament King, as well as the one between Skeleton and and Mo Xie, was about to end. Skeleton had always had the advantage in battle, beating the other party until he was completely unable to resist. The Firmament King was in the same situation. Although his level was lower than the Rotten Flesh Dragon, he had a pure dragon bloodline. In terms of this alone, he was stronger than the other party. In addition, he had many talents and skills, as well as a support-type pet. He had a huge advantage over the other party. Chapter 195 - 195 Natural Enemy of the Cult 195 Natural Enemy of the Cult There was no doubt that they would win sooner or later, because Ye Fan had the advantage, the other party was completely at a disadvantage. Ding Chengxin and the students were incomparably surprised. Du Kang was already in despair. Seeing that this situation was gradually developing to their disadvantage, his gaze turned ruthless, he ordered the Evil Mantis to attack Ye Fan. No matter how strong these pets were, as long as they killed Ye Fan before the pets were spared, the victory would still be theirs. Ding Chengxin immediately felt Du Kang¡¯s killing intent. His pupils constricted as he quickly looked at Ye Fan. ¡°Ye Fan, be careful!¡± The others¡¯ expressions changed drastically, they were so nervous that they forgot to breathe. Ye Fan did not ignore Du Kang, so he immediately discovered the other party¡¯s intentions. But Ye Fan did not panic, he directly threw out the Soul Chain. The crisp sound of chains rubbing against each other could be heard as powerful soul power enveloped the Evil Mantis, trapping it in place like an invisible chain. The Evil Mantis didn¡¯t expect this to happen. No matter how it struggled, it couldn¡¯t break free. However, there were still traces of cracks on the soul chains. Still, there were countless chains. No matter how hard it struggled, only a few of them broke. Du Kang looked at Ye Fan in disbelief. The Evil Mantis was a Rank 8 pet, so how could it not be able to break free from the Soul Chain? How powerful was Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Technique? Ding Chengxin and the others were also dumbfounded. They had the same questions in their minds. It didn¡¯t matter if the pet was powerful or not, but his expertise of the Soul Technique was also so powerful. It was unbelievable. The Evil Mantis flapped its wings with all its might and scratched the lock with its two front claws. It struggled crazily, and a few more Soul Chains broke. Just as it was about to break free from this restraint, a large amount of soul power appeared for some reason, forming new chains to restrain it. The Evil Mantis was instantly dumbfounded. Du Kang¡¯s face was also ashen. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He ordered the other party crazily, ¡°Break free! I really want to see how strong your soul power is and how long you can use it!¡± The stronger the Soul Technique, the more soul power it would consume. This was basic common sense. Thus, Du Kang wanted to see how long Ye Fan¡¯s soul power could last. He was not even twenty years old. At such a young age, his soul power was definitely limited. He would not be able to last long. But he seemed to have forgotten that Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Technique was already so powerful at such a young age. It would not be strange if his soul power was really shocking. Afterwards, under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ye Fan released soul chains one after another. After the Evil Mantis broke free, it was restricted again and again. At this moment, Du Kang¡¯s face turned from white to green, then from black to red. It was even more exciting than a drama. He could not believe that this scene was real. How could Ye Fan release dozens of Soul Chains? No one¡¯s vitality could be so powerful. Everyone¡¯s mouths were wide open. They did not know what to say. At this moment, he suddenly heard a miserable scream. Ferman could no longer hold on. His remaining arm was directly broken by Anissa. Before he could react, a blood light attacked his neck. His eyes were filled with despair and fear, but his expression froze in an instant. In the next second, he fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, the Rotten Flesh Dragon and Mo Xie both died. At this moment, Anissa no longer had any enemies. She decisively turned around and attacked the Evil Mantis. The Evil Mantis was currently struggling crazily to break free of the Soul Chain. It didn¡¯t have the strength to resist Anissa¡¯s attack at all. Up until now, Du Kang¡¯s three pets had all died. Even the demonic human Ferman he could rely on had become broken corpses. At this moment, Du Kang was already scared out of his wits. His face was filled with despair. How could he not know that he was helpless? The Hand of the Abyss was defeated by Ye Fan again! The blood sword slowly enlarged. Before he lost consciousness, a thought suddenly flashed through Du Kang¡¯s mind. ¡°Could this kid be the cult¡¯s natural enemy? Anyone who meets him won¡¯t have a good ending.¡± The surroundings were silent. Everything within a hundred miles was very quiet. Everyone looked at Ferman and Du Kang¡¯s gradually cold corpses in unison and took a long time to react. They won so easily. A Rank 8 demonic human and the higher-up of the cult died in front of them. Ding Chengxin and the students were in a daze. At this moment, they looked at the man with reverence. If they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have believed that a young man who wasn¡¯t even 20 years old could kill these two big shots. ¡°We¡¯re¡­ fine?¡± ¡°The enemy is dead. What do you think?¡± ¡°I feel like I was dreaming just now. This is too unreal!¡± ¡°Ye Fan is too strong, he can deal with Rank 8 so easily, these two together are not Ye Fan¡¯s match.¡± ¡°He can directly kill the other party in a one-on-two battle. Even the instructors in the academy don¡¯t have the ability!¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Although their academy was one of the three major academies, they only trained some young Beast Tamers. Therefore, the instructors were usually not very powerful Beast Tamers. They were usually between the fourth and sixth ranks. It was very likely that some outstanding students could surpass them. There were still a few senior instructors who were around seven or eight ranks, but it was probably impossible to find someone among them who could defeat two Rank 8s. Only the dean and the vice dean could do this. Thinking of this, everyone was secretly shocked. This also meant that Ye Fan¡¯s strength was already comparable to Vice Dean Zheng. After Ding Chengxin heard these words, his face turned red. As a mentor, his strength was inferior to his student¡¯s, and he had even been saved by his student. This was really too awkward. But he had to admit that Ye Fan was indeed powerful. Everything he said was flawless. The other party was two Rank 8s, but he killed them so easily. The entire process was calm. It was shocking, but there was no danger. If news of this spread, who knew how many people would find it unbelievable? But he seemed to have a premonition that the strength Ye Fan displayed just now might not have reached his limit. Not to mention anything else, just his Soul Technique was terrifyingly powerful. However, he did not reveal it at all at the beginning and only used a Soul Chain. It was unknown if he had only cultivated the Soul Chain or if he felt that it was enough to use one Soul Technique. There was no need for anything else. At this moment, Ding Chengxin¡¯s mind was in a mess. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Ye Fan¡¯s strength was definitely not limited to this. He must have hidden a portion of his strength. Chapter 196 - 196 Can’t Stay Here For Long 196 Can¡¯t Stay Here For Long ¡°It¡¯s impossible to find another person who¡¯s as strong as him in the entire city or the entire Alliance. He¡¯s simply a genius among geniuses.¡± Ding Chengxin sighed to himself, looking at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. ¡°Well done!¡± Ye Fan walked over. Before he could get close, Chen Xin had already pounced out, unable to suppress the joy in her heart. Her face was red and filled with smiles. Ye Fan smiled. After touching her head, he looked at Ding Chengxin. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long. Why don¡¯t we leave first?¡± Only then did everyone react. They were still on the plains. It would be terrible if there were other cultists. It was not the time to celebrate in peace. They had no time to care about Ferman and Du Kang¡¯s corpses. Ding Chengxin left with the students. Fortunately, they were not far from the exit and left not long after. This time, there were no insects behind them, and their journey was very easy. They could deal with the monsters on their own. There was no need for Ye Fan to do anything. Before walking out of the plain, Ye Fan turned around and felt a little regretful. After today, the plain would probably be sealed off. After all, this time, the cult and the demonic human were involved. The military of the two cities would definitely not let their guard down and would definitely send people to guard it and investigate. He did not know when this matter would be completed. It was not easy to find such a place where he could farm growth fast, but he had to encounter such troublesome things. It really made him unhappy. ¡°This evil cult likes to cause trouble for no reason to begin with. Now that they¡¯ve hooked up with the demonic human, I wonder what trouble they¡¯ll cause in the future.¡± ¡°I should think of a way to deal with these black sheep after I advance to Rank 9.¡± Previously, from Red Seven, Old Lin and Du Kang¡¯s words, he could tell that the Hand of the Abyss had already treated him as a thorn in his side. It was obvious that the cult would definitely attack him here. Ye Fan did not want to wait for death like this. When he found an opportunity, he would definitely make the first move. However, this cult was very good at hiding in a corner, it was not easy to find them. While he was thinking about things, he moved quickly. Everyone quickly arrived at the supply station. When everyone saw the people coming and going at the entrance of the supply station, they finally felt relieved. Now that they were finally safe, the finishing touches were all handed to Ding Chengxin. Ye Fan returned to the academy with the students. After returning to the villa, Ye Fan summoned the system interface and carefully browsed through it. ¡°Skeleton, Anissa, and the Firmament King have all reached Rank-7. Rose, Fox, and the Duke are the only ones who haven¡¯t evolved.¡± Unless it was a critical moment, he wouldn¡¯t waste evolution points to forcefully improve them. Although it didn¡¯t cost too many evolution points to increase the growth of his pets to the maximum, it still required a lot of evolution points because there were many pets. ¡°I only have about 600 evolution points left. I can probably only unlock two skills. I have to think of a way to obtain some evolution points.¡± If he wanted to obtain evolution points, the only way was to complete the mission given by the system. However, he had yet to completely figure out the rules of the missions issued by the system. Still, he was sure that as long as there was a competition or ruins, he could definitely trigger the mission. ¡°There don¡¯t seem to be any competitions recently. Ruins¡­¡± He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out a card from his bag. The card was very exquisite. On it was the appearance of Bai Lu Sister. This was the card that Bai Lu had given him when he cleared the level. After activation, one could enter the tower to undergo the second level of the test again. ¡°At that time, Sister Deer seemed to have said that one had to reach Rank-6 to activate it. Now that I¡¯ve far surpassed it, clearing the level shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.¡± After thinking about it carefully for a while, Ye Fan immediately decided that the reward was not too important. The most important thing now was to trigger the mission. After successfully completing the mission, he would be able to obtain a large number of evolution points. Therefore, he had to go to the tower to take the assessment. Thinking that all the pets had been exhausted after fighting for so long today, he didn¡¯t activate it immediately. He planned to let them rest first. The next day, Ye Fan checked carefully and found that all the pets had recovered. He then took out the card. Previously, when he activated the first card, there was a time limit. It could only be activated on a certain day every month. However, the card in his hand did not have such a limit. It could be activated at any time. With a thought, the card began to glow and gradually became brighter. Not long after, the card was covered in a layer of silver light that gradually turned into a ball of light the size of a fist. Ye Fan watched as the light slowly rose, before rapidly expanding and enveloping him. He did not hesitate, allowing the light to envelop him. Gradually, his vision was occupied by light. Not long after the light dissipated, his vision returned. He focused and found himself in a familiar hall. ¡°Welcome to the Seven Luminaries Tower again!¡± A pleasant sound like wind chimes sounded. Ye Fan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Lu smiling at him from ten meters away. Bai Lu was still dressed the same as before. It had a pair of pure white wings on its head and a light spear in its hand. It was only wearing a chest wrap and had a slender figure. Her long golden hair was like a waterfall, and her entire body was pure white and emitted golden light. She was as dazzling as a Greek goddess. ¡°Long time no see.¡± Ye Fan responded with a smile. Bai Lu nimbly walked in front of Ye Fan and sized him up, surprise flashing in its eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your strength to increase so quickly. It hasn¡¯t been long, right? You¡¯ve already broken through to Rank-7.¡± Bai Lu sighed. She felt that this was too fast. It was simply a pleasant surprise. As a guardian, she had more knowledge than Ding Chengxin, but even so, she had never seen anyone as outstanding as Ye Fan. ¡°When we first met, you weren¡¯t even Rank-4. I didn¡¯t expect you to advance to Rank-7 in less than a year. Even if it were in our era, not many people would be like you.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s brows raised. ¡°What do you mean, in your era?¡± Bai Lu smiled and said, ¡°I almost let it slip. This concerns my age. Don¡¯t get to the bottom of it.¡± It could be seen that the other party did not intend to say anything, Ye Fan did not ask further and went straight to the point. ¡°What¡¯s the second test?¡± Bai Lu pointed at his forehead angrily. ¡°We¡¯ve only chatted for a while, and you¡¯re already getting impatient. To think that I¡¯ve always remembered you!¡± Ye Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn¡¯t she the one who had been keeping him in suspense? After scolding Ye Fan, Bai Lu did not continue. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s talk about it in detail after the test.¡± Chapter 197 - 197 Clockwork Puppet 197 Clockwork Puppet ¡°However, the second test is not simple. Everyone only has one chance. Are you sure you¡¯re ready?¡± Ye Fan nodded decisively, and Bai Lu touched Ye Fan¡¯s face in satisfaction. ¡°I wish you a smooth journey!¡± Just as she said this, Ye Fan felt the scene in front of him flash. Bai Lu disappeared, and the surrounding environment also changed greatly. The hall that was very bright and spacious just now had become a wide area like a competition venue. There were stone walls all around, and the ground felt very hard. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Ye Fan¡¯s mind. ¡°Mission triggered! Seven Luminaries Tower¡¯s inheritance. You can obtain 5,000 evolution points after passing the second test!¡± As he had expected, Ye Fan¡¯s lips curled up. As expected, as long as it was related to the ruins, a mission would definitely be triggered, and the rewards this time were very generous. A total of 5,000 evolution points could evolve the remaining three pets and unlock all their talents and skills. ¡°Next, we¡¯ll do our best to clear the level!¡± Ye Fan focused all his thoughts on clearing the level, looking at the checkpoint in front of him. The iron railing at the side slowly rose, and the sound of footsteps behind him could be heard. It was the sound of heavy metal touching the ground. Five tall figures gradually walked out of the darkness. Each of them was nearly two meters tall. Golden figures appeared from the darkness, their faces cold and lifeless. Their metallic limbs were covered in screws. Ye Fan immediately thought of the clockwork soldiers in the first round. ¡°They¡¯re puppets.¡± The aura emitted by these five people was much stronger than Clockwork Soldiers. Moreover, two of them were holding staffs. They did not communicate with each other. After appearing in Ye Fan¡¯s vision, they attacked him. Two soldier puppets holding swords rushed towards Ye Fan. One was holding a huge sword, the other was holding a single sword and shield, their auras were powerful. The other person held a light spear and quickly jumped into the air. A pair of golden wings suddenly appeared, flapping towards Ye Fan. The remaining two puppets raised their staffs, the battle officially began. Seeing the puppets running towards him with killing intent, Ye Fan immediately summoned his pets. Light flashed beside him, and six pets gathered around Ye Fan. Without his instructions, Skeleton, Anissa, and the others immediately faced the enemy. Rose also followed the usual and cast a spell on Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder to support her companions while weakening the opponent¡¯s strength. The fox waved its hand and spirit talismans appeared, turning into a huge barrier that enveloped Ye Fan. Then, it looked around curiously. ¡°Is this a ruin?¡± Ye Fan replied, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°This is the Seven Luminaries Tower, right?¡± In the past, when she was a fox, she had followed Ye Fan in and had some memories of this place. Now that she looked at the surroundings carefully, she remembered. She raised her head to look at the surrounding city walls. Bai Lu stood on a platform with a smile. The fox understood how terrifying Bai Lu¡¯s combat strength was and did not dare to provoke it. ¡°Master, why did you come back here?¡± Ye Fan simply told the fox about passing the second round, then looked at Bai Lu and asked loudly. ¡°These puppets are the test?¡± ¡°There must be more.¡± Bai Lu smiled. Although the two of them were a little far away, the crisp sound still clearly entered Ye Fan¡¯s ears. ¡°These five puppets are only the first stage.¡± Ye Fan looked at the battlefield around him. The Duke of Hellfire and the huge sword puppet were fighting. Another puppet with a blade and shield and wings was fighting the Firmament King. Anissa was fighting two puppets at once. Ye Fan observed and found that these five puppets were all Rank-7. ¡°No wonder Bai Lu told me that one has to be above Rank-6 to challenge it.¡± He sighed to himself. The Rank-6 that Bai Lu was talking about was targeted at people like him who could fight monsters above their level. If it were an ordinary Rank-6, they would definitely not be able to successfully challenge it. Moreover, this was only the first round. There were still others. Fortunately, Ye Fan¡¯s strength was different from before. Dealing with five Rank-7s was too easy for him. As he had expected, in less than a minute, the five puppets were taken down by the pets. ¡°Not bad! As expected, he¡¯s someone I like. He¡¯s not someone ordinary people can compare to!¡± Bai Lu smiled and praised, feeling that she had not misjudged him. ¡°The subsequent stages will only become more and more difficult. This is only the least difficult. I hope you can continue smoothly.¡± Ye Fan looked at Bai Lu. He felt that she really hoped that he could pass all the obstacles on the second level. This thought flashed through his mind. Ye Fan calmly asked, ¡°How many stages are there?¡± ¡°There are a total of three stages!¡± Bai Lu replied coolly. As soon as she finished speaking, the iron railing rose again. This time, an ear-piercing sound rang out. The figure that appeared was very tall, about the height of two people. Moreover, his shoulders were very broad, like a wall. This person was wearing golden armor and had a cold and heartless expression. He was wearing a very long cloak, and the golden tassels on the cloak naturally fell to the ground. A strong arm held a bronze staff. Compared to the five puppets just now, this one emitted a very strong pressure. ¡°Spellcasting Puppet¡­¡± Ye Fan¡¯s gaze flashed past and landed on the staff in the puppet¡¯s hand. The puppet arrived at the center of the platform and looked at Ye Fan indifferently before raising its staff, magnificent magic power gathered on it. Five doors suddenly appeared in front of the puppet. They were more than two meters tall and emitted golden light. There was the sound of metal scraping inside. Then, a soldier in armor walked out from each door. In the blink of an eye, more than 50 soldiers suddenly appeared on the platform. They only had a blank face and no facial features. Moreover, their faces were as black as ink, and their bodies emitted a rotten aura. They all held swords in their hands and had powerful auras. ¡°Those are Death Soldiers, Rank-6.¡± Bai Lu¡¯s clear and pleasant voice was explaining to Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s gaze moved slightly and he raised his eyebrows, but his expression was very calm and did not change much. He instructed his pet to charge forward. Rank-7 Clockwork Puppets were nothing to the pets, let alone Rank-6 ones. Even if the Death Soldiers were outstanding in terms of strength and defense, and they were not afraid of pain or death at all, they were still no match for pets. As soon as the two sides fought, the soldiers were crushed by the pets. In just a short while, more than twenty Death Soldiers died one after another. However, Ye Fan was a little surprised that more soldiers were coming out of the five doors, as if there was no limit to the number inside. Chapter 198 - 198 Not Summoning 198 Not Summoning As time passed, the number of soldiers did not decrease. Instead, they increased. ¡°If I¡¯m only at Rank-6 now, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be difficult for me to pass this stage.¡± Ye Fan thought to himself. If he was at Rank-6, it would not be easy for him to win this round. It was obvious that if he wanted to win this round, he had to capture the leader first. He had to kill this cloaked puppet first. He was the key to the five doors. As long as he died, these five doors would close and these soldiers would disappear. Ye Fan planned to do this. However, when he saw that there were more and more Death Soldiers, he suddenly had a new idea. He opened the system interface. Generally speaking, killing these summoned creatures could not increase one¡¯s growth. These summoned things were a portion of the summoner¡¯s power. If he wanted to obtain EXP, he had to kill the main body. However, when he saw the experience bar, he was surprised to discover that even if he killed these Death Soldiers, he could still increase his growth. Although the experience was less than killing monsters of the same level, the difference was not too great. ¡°Could it be that these Death Soldiers are not summoned?¡± Ye Fan suddenly had this thought. ¡°If these summoned creatures are normal, then these numbers are too unreal. Even Rank 9s can¡¯t summon countless Rank-6 creatures.¡± From the beginning until now, the number of soldiers who had come out of the door was close to 500. Moreover, with the current trend, it was probably not even the upper limit. This number was not reasonable. Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately had other plans. Before entering the Seven Luminaries Tower, he was especially worried about where to farm monsters and level up faster. This was giving him water when he was really thirsty! Wasn¡¯t it a good opportunity to kill monsters now? It was not easy to find places with many Rank-6 creatures. With this in mind, Ye Fan immediately summoned his pets and only let the fox and the Duke fight. It was better to let the three pets that had yet to evolve to Rank-7 share the EXP. As for Rose¡­ Ye Fan glanced at the petite Flower Sprite sitting on his shoulder and gave up. The Flower Sprite¡¯s skills did not have much effect on these Death Soldiers. He could only think of a way to use evolution points to increase her growth after the mission here was completed. While Ye Fan was thinking, Fox and the Duke were already killing in all directions. The two of them did not hold back at all. They fought with all their might against these Death Soldiers. Spiritual energy surged at the scene. There were flames everywhere, and the area within a hundred meters was already filled with potholes. Ye Fan saw that the progress bar on the interface was slowly increasing, and a smile appeared on his face. As time passed, the Death Soldiers continued to fall. Soon, new Death Soldiers joined the battle. Bai Lu was confused and did not know what Ye Fan wanted to do. ¡°With your experience, you should be able to tell very quickly what to do to clear this stage, but you¡¯re not doing it. What exactly do you want?¡± Ye Fan laughed. ¡°I want to see how many soldiers this puppet¡¯s summoning technique can summon.¡± ¡°Do whatever you want, but I have to remind you that the puppet summons far more Death Soldiers than you think.¡± ¡°You only sent two pets. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to kill them all even if they die of exhaustion.¡± Ye Fan had a calm expression as he smiled: ¡°Thank you for your reminder.¡± Although the fox and the duke were only one level higher than the Death Soldiers, their combat strength was overwhelming. Moreover, both sides were of the same level, and the experience points after killing them were what Ye Fan needed. Although the Death Soldiers were special and gave less EXP, it was better to accumulate more. After about 20 minutes, the Duke¡¯s growth had already reached 100%, and the Fox¡¯s growth was only 3% short. At this moment, the number of Death Soldiers gradually decreased. Seeing this, Bai Lu sighed in its heart. Although it knew that Ye Fan was powerful, his current performance had completely exceeded its expectations. ¡°These five gates can summon at least a thousand Death Soldiers. He only sent two pets and killed most of them. This Ye Fan¡¯s talent is really extraordinary.¡± Bai Lu¡¯s eyes lit up as it stared at Ye Fan, as if it was looking at a treasure. ¡°This round should be fine.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a certain door on the stage suddenly trembled violently. In an instant, it shrank to the size of a light particle and disappeared. Immediately after, the second door of light, the third door, and the rest all disappeared. There were less than 50 Death Soldiers on the field, and the growth of the fox had already reached 100%. ¡°So far, only Rose is left.¡± Ye Fan sighed. Now that he had achieved his goal, he wanted to end the battle quickly. He immediately ordered the other pets to join the battle, instantly tearing all the enemies apart. After all the summoned soldiers were killed, the Summoner was cut in half by Anissa. ¡°How impressive! You actually cleared the level in such a direct manner.¡± Bai Lu looked at Ye Fan with a smile, very satisfied with his performance. ¡°There¡¯s only one last stage left. After passing it, you can obtain the inheritance of the Seven Luminaries Tower.¡± The iron railing on the platform was opened again. This time, the figure that appeared was incomparably huge. The heavy sound of metal on the ground could be heard. Ye Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the monster walking over. This was an extremely huge humanoid monster that was about four or five stories tall. Its entire body was covered in screws, and the heavy metal atmosphere infected the surroundings, forming a sense of oppression that made one¡¯s heart feel stuffy. ¡°The Iron Hammer Puppet is at the peak of Rank 8. You have to be careful.¡± Bai Lu¡¯s warning sounded, Ye Fan smiled. The difficulty of each round had increased greatly! Although he had killed nearly a thousand Rank-6 creatures in the second round, those were all summoned one after another. Moreover, he had a way to take a shortcut. He thought about it. Normally, a Rank-7 Beast Tamer would have an 80% chance of passing it. However, what was going on in the third round? Wasn¡¯t it too exaggerated to directly jump to the peak of Rank 8? Even an ordinary Rank 8 Beast Tamer might lose. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I can challenge those once I reach Rank-6? From the looks of it, if you don¡¯t have Rank 8 combat strength, you will definitely fail.¡± Ye Fan said loudly. ¡°White Deer, did you do something to increase the difficulty of clearing the level?¡± Bai Lu smiled. ¡°The higher the difficulty, the more generous the rewards.¡± It was clear that Ye Fan¡¯s guess was right. Ye Fan was not happy, but he had nothing to say. After all, it was not like he could not pass. Looking at Bai Lu, he turned back to look at this Iron Hammer Puppet. Ye Fan suddenly had a new idea. Chapter 199 - 199 Where Did You Get It? 199 Where Did You Get It? He curled his lips and recalled all his pets. Bai Lu was stunned by his actions. ¡°What are you doing? You¡¯ve taken back all your pets. Are you going to use Soul Techniques to resist it?¡± She was shocked. Although she knew that Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Technique was very good, no matter how powerful he was, he could not face this peak Rank-8 puppet alone. Ye Fan did not reply, he stood there quietly. Bai Lu frowned slightly, wanting to say something but hesitated. Just as it was about to speak, it felt a powerful pressure descend on the spot. The source of this pressure was Ye Fan. The entire arena was engulfed by Ye Fan¡¯s pressure. Bai Lu was also stunned. It quickly looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan was suddenly submerged by a light, turning into a ball of light that expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more and more three-dimensional, before turning into the size of a hill. In the blink of an eye, the light extinguished and turned into a huge dragon. Its body was robust, and it was covered in white-gold scales as it spread its wings. This was a high-level purebred dragon. He directly turned into a dragon!! Bai Lu was stunned as she looked at Ye Fan with a dumbfounded expression. Ordinary Beast Tamers might not be able to tell, but she was the guardian of the Seven Luminaries Tower and was knowledgeable. Even some clan leaders could not compare to her, so she could definitely recognize that this was Dragon Transformation. After reacting, Bai Lu¡¯s face was filled with surprise. ¡°Ye Fan, where did you get Dragon Transformation?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve entered such a ruin before. It¡¯s called the Dragon Bone.¡± Ye Fan told her the truth without hiding anything. Although he had become a dragon king, his voice was still his original voice. ¡°Dragon Bone¡­ is it the ruin built with the bones of the Firmament Dragon King after its death?!¡± Bai Lu directly deduced the history of the ruins that Ye Fan mentioned, a trace of surprise flashing in its eyes. ¡°So you have a Dragon King pet. You obtained the inheritance from the Dragon Bone?¡± When she said this, she couldn¡¯t help but look at Ye Fan in surprise. If an ordinary Beast Tamer wanted to obtain the inheritance from the ruins, it would be much harder than climbing mountains of swords or going through seas of fire. But not only did Ye Fan obtain this Dragon Bone inheritance, even the Seven Luminaries inheritances were about to fall into his hands. His luck was too good. Even if she did not understand this Dragon Bone, no ruin from ancient times was weak. Bai Lu could imagine how precious this Dragon Bone inheritance was. ¡°This means that the third round is not a problem for him.¡± She sighed silently before looking at Ye Fan. The Iron Hammer Puppet had mechanical attributes, so the dragon might did not affect it much, but it could also feel the threat of this creature in front of it, so it rushed towards Ye Fan. Ye Fan did not dodge at all, he directly attacked with his claws. At the same time, lightning and wind wrapped around his claws, fighting against the other party. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The air wave was mixed with countless energy that spread out. After Dragon Transformation, the strength of the Dragon King depended on Ye Fan¡¯s rank. Ye Fan was now Rank-7, but after transforming, he was at the peak of Rank-8. With the enhancement of the dragon-type creature¡¯s ability, in terms of combat strength, he was even stronger than the Iron Hammer Puppet. In the battle of power, Ye Fan only shook slightly, but the Iron Hammer Puppet was forced back a few steps by the powerful energy wave. Bai Lu watched the battle from the side, and her blood was boiling. She had guarded the Seven Luminaries Tower for a long time and had seen many challengers with ordinary aptitudes, but she had never seen anyone as mysterious as Ye Fan. Even without this transformation, Ye Fan¡¯s original strength was already shocking. Every pet he contracted was especially outstanding and had powerful energy. She had long seen Ye Fan¡¯s Soul Technique. A young Beast Tamer could possess such a powerful Soul Technique and now had the ability to transform into a Dragon King. In terms of strength, he was getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, the peak Rank-8 Iron Hammer Puppet was not Ye Fan¡¯s match. ¡°Dragon Transformation seems to consume the caster¡¯s soul power. How long can he last?¡± Bai Lu was a little curious. If a normal Beast Tamer transformed into a Dragon King, even a Rank 7 to 8 Beast Tamer would only be able to last for about a minute. However, Ye Fan was completely different from ordinary Beast Tamers. His own strength was so mysterious that even Bai Lu could not see through him. Therefore, she did not treat Ye Fan as an ordinary Beast Tamer. ¡°He can probably last for a few minutes!!¡± Bai Lu thought to herself. Soon, three minutes passed, but Ye Fan was not affected at all. He was still fighting the Iron Hammer Puppet and showed no signs of decay. Instead, the puppet had many wounds. Although the mechanical creatures would not feel any pain, it could be seen that the puppet was already on the verge of failure. Even so, it was still trying its best to defend. It should be completely defeated before long. ¡°The amount of Soul Power is too much. Three minutes have passed. Even Rank-9 Beast Tamers don¡¯t have such abundant Soul Power!¡± Bai Lu was shocked. Time passed slowly. The expression on her face was colorful. At first, she was shocked, and then she slowly exclaimed. Now, she found it hard to believe. ¡°Another three minutes passed, how much soul power does Ye Fan have?¡± She did not know how to describe the shock in her heart, because the Soul Power Ye Fan displayed had completely exceeded her imagination. In her memory, even a Beast Tamer at the king level didn¡¯t have such Soul Power. ¡°Is this guy still human? How does he usually cultivate?¡± Bai Lu was already very puzzled. Ye Fan, who was fighting with all his might, did not know what Bai Lu was thinking. His attention was all on the other party. This was because after transforming, it would consume 100 Soul Power per second. However, now that he had advanced to Rank-7 and had consumed the Soul Fruit twice, his Soul Power had far exceeded the others and reached a total of 40,000. Even if Dragon Transformation was a skill that consumed a lot of Soul Power, it could last for about six minutes. Now, it was already about five minutes. There was not much time left. However, Ye Fan was not in a hurry, because pure dragon pets were already powerful and invincible among their peers, especially dragons with pure royal bloodlines like him. With Dragon King¡¯s powerful combat strength, Ye Fan had been suppressing his enemy from beginning to end. Now, the other party could no longer hold on. ¡°Even so, it¡¯s not easy to completely defeat this monster in the remaining short time.¡± Chapter 200 - 200 New Battle Pet 200 New Battle Pet After all, the other party was at the peak of Rank-8. If not for his overwhelming strength, it would be impossible for him to kill the other party in such a short period of time. He had only suddenly thought of giving it a try. Now that he realized that he could not kill the other party before he recovered, his enthusiasm from before was gone. He deactivated his transformation and took a few steps back. ¡°Anissa, deal with it!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Anissa immediately activated her skill after agreeing. Then, she quickly charged forward. The Iron Hammer Puppet ended the battle one second ago and had to deal with Anissa the next. Because of the Bloodline Awakening, Anissa¡¯s current combat strength was not inferior to Ye Fan who had just transformed. At this moment, the Iron Hammer Puppet fell into a bitter battle again. ¡°She also has Rank-8 combat strength!¡± Bai Lu watched the battle from the side and sized up Anissa in shock. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like it. More than that, its combat strength is almost at Rank-9!¡± Bai Lu was extremely shocked. Apart from this one, Ye Fan¡¯s other pets almost all had the combat ability at the Rank-8, although they were only at Rank-7. The vampire in front of her definitely had combat strength close to Rank-9. Although the skill she used was an explosive skill, it was also very rare. ¡°You really have a lot of tricks. You always surprise people,¡± Bai Lu praised. At this point, there was no longer any suspense in the battle. A few minutes later, there was a loud bang. After the battle ended, the Iron Hammer Puppet could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, completely without any signs of life. Bai Lu sighed and smiled. ¡°Congratulations on successfully passing the second floor of the Seven Luminaries Tower.¡± Just as he finished speaking, Ye Fan heard the system¡¯s voice. ¡°Congratulations! The Seven Luminaries Tower¡¯s inheritance mission has been completed! You have received 5,000 evolution points.¡± Ye Fan curled his lips. He had obtained so many evolution points and could evolve his pets and unlock skills. Suppressing the joy in his heart, Ye Fan looked ahead. Bai Lu jumped up and walked forward, its eyes shining. ¡°Your performance is still so unexpected, although I knew you¡¯d definitely pass.¡± Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her: ¡°You casually raised the difficulty, did you not think that I would fail?¡± Bai Lu stuck out its tongue. ¡°Because I believe you can definitely clear the level. Isn¡¯t this the best proof?¡± ¡°If I increase the difficulty, the rewards will also be generous.¡± Speaking of rewards, Ye Fan was excited at this moment. Although the system¡¯s rewards were very generous, the rewards of the ruins should be quite precious! He had already obtained a dragon pet when he passed the Dragon Bone. The reward of the Seven Luminaries Tower shouldn¡¯t be much different from the Dragon Bone. Ye Fan¡¯s impatience was seen by Bai Lu. She smiled and waved her hand, taking out a pearl. Ye Fan immediately recognized it as a sealing pearl. He took it and looked at it carefully. Then, the information of the bead appeared in front of him. Name: Seven Luminaries Beast, Attribute: ? Level: Peak Rank-7, Skill: Seven Luminaries Light ¡°This¡­¡± Ye Fan was puzzled. This stats was too strange. This was the first time he had seen such a strange pet. Besides, what did this attribute mean? There was only one talent! Nothing else was displayed. Ye Fan looked at Bai Lu inquiringly. ¡°The pet in the Sealing Bead is the Seven Luminaries Beast!¡± Bai Lu didn¡¯t know that Ye Fan could see the information of the pets. It felt that Ye Fan was puzzled about what the pets were, so it explained. ¡°What about its attributes?¡± Bai Lu narrowed its eyes and smiled. ¡°The Seven Luminaries Beast has no attributes.¡± Ye Fan was stunned: ¡°Why?¡± ¡°The Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s attributes can be any one of the Wind, Fire, Lightning, Wood, Ice, Earth, and Water. If I have to say, it should have seven attributes.¡± ¡°Seven attributes?¡± Ye Fan was shocked. Pets with many attributes were usually rare, but they were not unheard of. For example, the Firmament King had two attributes, but a pet could only have three at most. He had never heard of anyone with more than three attributes, let alone seven. It was simply unprecedented. ¡°So it¡¯s called the Seven Luminaries Beast because it has seven attributes.¡± Ye Fan looked at the pearl in his hand in shock. Bai Lu smiled in tacit agreement. Then, it said, ¡°Although there are seven attributes, it has only evolved three attributes: Wood, Earth, and Fire. Only when seven attributes have completely evolved can he change them at will.¡± ¡°Even in the Ancient Battle Pets, the Seven Luminaries Beast is very rare. Its potential is limitless. You¡¯ve made a killing this time.¡± Ye Fan nodded. The more attributes a pet had, the higher its potential and combat strength would be. This was the standard. Although it was not completely correct, it applied most of the time. It was already very rare to see pets with three attributes. All of them were extremely powerful and talented, let alone a pet with seven attributes. It was obvious that the Sealing Bead in his hand was definitely priceless. ¡°This trip was not in vain!¡± Ye Fan looked at the pearl in his hand happily. Besides, this Seven Luminaries Beast was a Rank-7 pet. He could contract it. After advancing to Rank-7, he had been focused on the improvement of his pets and had never looked for his seventh pet. It seemed that he had happened to find it here. Moreover, it was a very powerful pet. He didn¡¯t think too much about contracting it. The system interface immediately changed drastically, and new information appeared in front of him. The requirements for the next stage of the Seven Luminaries Beast were: full growth, 1 thunder crystal, and 50 high-quality thunder crystals. ¡°In that case, the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s evolution is the same as the Firmament King¡¯s. Could it be that the pets obtained from the ruins all have the same evolution path?¡± Ye Fan suddenly thought of this, but this was not important. He threw it to the back of his mind as he looked at Bai Lu. ¡°This is the inheritance of the Seven Luminaries Tower?¡± Bai Lu was speechless. ¡°What else do you need? Isn¡¯t this enough for you? Even in the ancient times, the Seven Luminaries Beast was a treasure that the world yearned for. It¡¯s usually extinct now. This is the last one. How precious is it?!¡± Ye Fan smiled. She was right, this one could evolve to the king level at most, and it was priceless. He was indeed a little greedy, because the upper limit of the Firmament King was also the king level. However, from what Bai Lu said, the Seven Luminaries Beast seemed to be even rarer than the Firmament King. He thought of something else. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you say there was an additional reward?¡± Bai Lu smiled and spread out its hands. ¡°That¡¯s me!¡± Ye Fan paused, unable to react. ¡°You¡¯re the additional reward?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± Bai Lu narrowed its eyes and stared at Ye Fan. He quickly explained, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a Guardian?!¡± ¡°The inheritance is gone. What¡¯s there to protect? The tower?¡± Bai Lu curled its lips, a little angry and helpless. ¡°I¡¯ve been in this tower for a long time. I¡¯m bored to death. However, all the Beast Tamers who came to challenge me are so weak. Not to mention the second floor, very few people even passed the first floor. I thought I would be trapped here for the rest of my life.¡± Chapter 201 - 201 You Chose Me 201 You Chose Me Saying so, she looked at Ye Fan again, a smile appearing on her face. ¡°Fortunately, you appeared. When you challenged the first level, I felt that you should be the person I was waiting for. It seems that my intuition is very accurate.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s brows raised: ¡°You chose me?¡± He had seen the true strength of Bai Lu. Even with just the projection of a clone, she could instantly kill a Rank-8. It was enough to see how powerful her main body was. It should not be lower than Rank-9. However, that was why it was difficult for him. If the other party was only at Rank-7, he could still contract her. However, he had no choice when it came to Rank-9. The contract had already exceeded the range. Besides, the position of the pet had already been given to the Seven Luminaries Beast. As if it could tell what Ye Fan was thinking, Bai Lu smiled. ¡°I can be your pet, but your current rank isn¡¯t high enough. But it doesn¡¯t matter. I have other ways. Give me your hand!¡± Bai Lu¡¯s battle strength could easily do anything to him. There was no need for it to use any methods, so Ye Fan did not suspect anything. Bai Lu also stretched out its hand and placed it on the back of Ye Fan¡¯s hand. Ye Fan suddenly felt a scorching heat, but it quickly disappeared. When she retracted her hand, Ye Fan realized that there was a golden pattern on the back of his hand, which was the pattern of an antler. ¡°I can hide inside the Summoning Rune and leave the Seven Luminaries Tower with you.¡± Ye Fan looked at the pattern carefully. ¡°Is this thing the same as a pet space?¡± Bai Lu nodded. ¡°You can summon me at any time!¡± ¡°I usually stay inside. If you need me, you can summon me at any time.¡± Hearing this, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up, but Bai Lu continued. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early, there is a price to pay for my help.¡± Ye Fan was stunned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°This rune will consume your Soul Power. Even if you have more Soul Power than Beast Tamers of the same level, you won¡¯t be able to last long outside.¡± Only then did Ye Fan heave a sigh of relief. It was fine if he only needed to consume Soul Power, Dragon Transformation also consumed Soul Power, it was the same. Moreover, Bai Lu¡¯s combat power was astonishing. Even if it was only a minute, it could turn the situation around and end the battle. Thinking of this, Ye Fan suddenly became curious: ¡°What level are you at?¡± Bai Lu said, ¡°Rank-9, peak.¡± Although he knew that she was very strong, Ye Fan was still secretly shocked when he heard that she was at the peak of Rank-9. This was because there were only a handful of Rank-9s in Chaohai City. In the entire alliance, Rank-9s were definitely the top existences. Moreover, Bai Lu¡¯s combat strength was probably not only Rank-9. Previously, her clone could kill so many Rank-8s. Now that it was the main body, her battle strength was definitely far from this, and might even be close to the king level. Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt excited. If this incomparably powerful White Deer could become his pet, it would definitely increase his strength greatly. His expression was captured by Bai Lu, and it also guessed Ye Fan¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Do you want to contract me? You have to work harder!¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Ye Fan smiled. He knew very well that Bai Lu also wanted to contract with him. When the time came, it could come out at will and move freely. Looking at its happy expression, it was probably bored in the tower and wanted to see the things outside. ¡°It¡¯s about time to leave!¡± After saying that, Bai Lu slowly disappeared. Ye Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable movement in his body. It was probably the runes on his hand. The color of the runes slowly became lighter before disappearing. Then, he looked around. ¡°Where are we going again¡­¡± Just as he thought this, he felt the scene in front of him flash. When he could see again, he was back in his villa. Seeing that he was in his own house, Ye Fan felt at ease. ¡°I¡¯m out.¡± He raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. Less than two hours had passed. He summoned the system and sized up the pets that had not evolved. After the battle in the Seven Luminaries Tower, the growth of the fox and the Duke was already full. The necessary materials had been prepared and they could evolve now. The first to evolve was the fox. As Ye Fan thought of this, the data panel suddenly updated. Name: Fox Priest Attribute: Illusion Rank: Rank-7, High Level Everything else was the same as before, but it had increased by a major realm. He nodded in satisfaction and looked at the additional talent and skills. Unlocked talents: Soul. Can master inheritance, condense it with the divine power and spiritual power contained in the bloodline, and transform it into his own combat path. 500 evolution points. Ye Fan chose to unlock it, his eyes curved. This was the first time he saw such an interesting talent. ¡°You can condense a weapon that belongs to you¡­¡± He thought for a while and summoned the fox. After evolving, the witch¡¯s dress that the fox was originally wearing became more and more gorgeous. There were many exquisite patterns on it, making it look luxurious. Moreover, a gorgeous hat appeared on its head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it beautiful? My new clothes!¡± The fox circled in front of Ye Fan to show her new appearance. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with her appearance after evolution. ¡°Mm, beautiful. Which weapon do you want to choose?¡± Ye Fan went straight to the point. ¡°The topic changed too quickly. Master, can you not be so perfunctory?¡± The fox was not satisfied, but it still answered Ye Fan¡¯s question. ¡°Of course I choose the Spirit Mirror!¡± ¡°Why did you choose this?¡± Ye Fan asked. ¡°The Vajra Staff doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s used by girls. I don¡¯t like it. I¡¯m not used to using charms either. The Purification Bow is slightly better than the previous two, but I don¡¯t like it either.¡± The Fox chose her weapon one by one. In the end, she only had the Spirit Mirror, so this was her reason. It was equivalent to saying that she had no choice. Ye Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry, but this was a weapon that the fox would use in the future, so she had to be satisfied herself. Ye Fan also felt that it was quite good. After choosing the weapon, a new skill appeared. Brilliant Mirror: Can open a barrier within a ten-meter radius and isolate all attacks. Unlocked with 500 points. Absolute Space: Mobilizes space and passes through a target within two meters, restricting the other party. Unlocked with 500 points. This was out of Ye Fan¡¯s expectations, because neither of the skills were offensive. One was targeted at defense, and the other was targeted at restriction. Not to mention the former, the latter involved spatial skills. Ye Fan was a little surprised because time and space were above all elements. Skills related to these two were usually very powerful, he could imagine that the effect of this binding would not be bad. ¡°The Spirit Mirror seems to be good at control.¡± He thought for a moment and felt that it was not bad, because he already had many pets with strong attack power and few support types. So far, there was only the Flower Sprite. However, the Flower Sprite¡¯s skills increased efficiency and weakened the other party. It did not have any defensive or control skills, so the fox could make up for it. Without hesitation, he unlocked these two skills. ¡°Next is the Duke!¡± Ye Fan got the fox to study the new skill and turned his gaze to the Duke of Hellfire. With a thought, the data panel was updated. Chapter 202 - 202 Evolution to Rank-7 202 Evolution to Rank-7 The Duke of Hellfire directly evolved into the Inferno Tyrant, a high-level Rank-7. There were no other changes. The next evolution stage was the Inferno King. Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled in satisfaction. The fox and tyrant had both advanced by a large level, he looked at the new skills. Unlocked Talent: Inferno Rebirth. After receiving the death attack, it can be reborn from the flames and return to its original form, but its strength is only half of its original state. After activating this talent, it can only be activated again in 20 days. 500 points of evolution. This was a very practical talent that could complement the self-destruction skill. He was no longer the same as before, and he usually would not encounter situations that were difficult for him to deal with. Although this was the case, the talent was also very important. However, it was a pity that the original Kindling skill could only be used after 30 days. Moreover, it would directly transform into a Kindling and have no combat strength. It could only slowly recover or require a large number of materials to speed up the recovery. The price he had to pay was not small, but this new talent completely solved this problem. Although 20 days was a long time, it was much better than 30 days. Moreover, after being reborn, it could immediately recover half of its combat strength. From this point alone, the practicality of this talent was very high, surpassing the original skill. ¡°In the future, I don¡¯t have to hide the self-destruction skill anymore.¡± Ye Fan was very happy and directly chose to unlock it. Then, he looked at the skills to be unlocked. High-level Spear Technique: Advancement from the intermediate level. Increases spear expertise. 500 evolution points. There was no introduction to this skill, so he chose to unlock it. ¡°After that, it¡¯s Flower Sprite, Rose.¡± Currently, only the Flower Sprite had not evolved among his pets. Because of its uniqueness, its growth had yet to break through 50%. ¡°It will take at least two months for her to increase her combat strength purely by killing monsters. This is too long. Why don¡¯t we use evolution points directly?¡± He quickly made up his mind. If forced evolution required thousands of evolution points, he might hesitate. However, now that he had all the materials, he could naturally use 500 evolution points to max out her growth. Without hesitation, he directly spent evolution points to increase it. Then, the data on the Flower Sprite interface changed. Name: Flower Sprite. Attribute: Plant, Illusion. Rank-7. Ye Fan took a closer look. There were no changes, only that the paralysis resistance had increased from intermediate to high-level. The water element had also increased from elementary to intermediate. No matter what, it had become stronger. His gaze shifted to the new talent: Fragrance. Charm-type, emits a strange fragrance. Creates a favorable impression on external creatures, weakens hatred, and doubles the effect of insufficient willpower. 500 points. ¡°Charm type¡­¡± Ye Fan was shocked. The fox seemed to have such a talent, but it had to be said that it was not very practical. Other than increasing Charm, it could only play a small role when activating skills. However, Fragrance was different. It only had an effect on plant creatures and was very effective. It might be surprising. He continued reading. The new skill was: Dawn! It could be released after absorbing light energy. To deal light-element damage to the target, it had to awaken photosynthesis. 500 points. ¡°Attack type technique!¡± Ye Fan was pleasantly surprised. After all, it had gotten another attack skill. The Flower Sprite had only one attack skill and could only attack in groups. It was only useful for low-level monsters. It was not enough to farm monsters. Otherwise, he would not have used evolution points to upgrade her. But now, there was another one. It was slightly stronger than before. ¡°I think the Fragrance will be stronger.¡± The Flower Sprite had long awakened photosynthesis, so it could unlock the skill, Ye Fan did not hesitate to unlock it. ¡°All seven pets are Rank-7 now.¡± Looking at the information of his pets, Ye Fan smiled. This trip to the ruins had been worth it. He had really gained a lot! Not only had he obtained an ancient Seven Luminaries Beast, but his other pets had also evolved and their overall strength had increased greatly. Based on Ye Fan¡¯s current strength, as long as the enemy he encountered was not above Rank-9, he did not have to worry about losing. He was invincible below Rank-9. Moreover, he had Bai Lu with him. He was not afraid of Rank-9 Beast Tamers. However, there were not many Rank-9 Beast Tamers in the city. It was not easy to meet them. After thinking for a while, Ye Fan suddenly remembered that he had never seen the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s true appearance, so he summoned it. After the light flashed, a very tall figure appeared in the living room, Ye Fan was extremely surprised. This was because the other party was actually in human form. Moreover, its entire body seemed to be made of extremely sharp blades. Its thick spine pierced through the entire center, and it was surrounded by sharp swords. It looked like a knight in armor, but it was hollow inside. The helmet was also black, and only two silver spots could be seen. ¡°This is the Seven Luminaries Beast¡­¡± Ye Fan carefully sized up the pet in front of him. The Seven Luminaries Beast did not move and stood quietly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you show us your skills?¡± Ye Fan said. The Seven Luminaries Beast nodded. Then, the sound of metal rubbing came from below its head. Then, a trace of red appeared between its eyebrows, as if deep blood had dripped into water. It slowly spread out. Then, its entire body turned fiery red. At this moment, he could feel the elemental fluctuations spreading around him. Ye Fan felt a scorching heat coming at him like the wind, but before he could react, he saw a spirit talisman appear in front of him and protect him in the barrier. The fox sensed that something was wrong, so it immediately took action. ¡°Such powerful fire elements.¡± The fox appeared beside Ye Fan, looking at the Seven Luminaries Beast in shock. ¡°Master, this guy is not bad!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Fan nodded in agreement, before looking at the system interface. There was actually fire in the attributes. The talent column was: Fire Soul, elemental immunity and absorption, high-level all-round resistance, and automatic repair. The skill column was: high-level Sword Technique, Flame Sword, Scarlet Sword, Powerful Sound Wave, Flame Light¡­ When he first contracted it, the talent on the interface was only the Seven Luminaries Soul. Now, there were many more, so its fire form was now even more powerful. ¡°It can transform into any attribute other than light.¡± Ye Fan came to a realization. After changing into the corresponding form, the interface would display the corresponding information. ¡°The Seven Luminaries Beast currently has three souls. Other than fire, there¡¯s also earth and wood that haven¡¯t been revealed.¡± With a thought from Ye Fan, the color on the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s body faded, turning into an earthen yellow color. The entire transformation took less than a second. The fox and Ye Fan were very surprised, because the Seven Luminaries Beast was more defensive now. Ye Fan then looked at its wooden form. Its wooden form was green, making it feel comfortable. Chapter 203 - 203 Seven Forms 203 Seven Forms ¡°Recover and control¡­¡± Ye Fan looked at the interface and said, feeling a little surprised. Only the three attributes of earth, wood, and fire included defense, attack, and support. They were so powerful, not to mention that he had the other four attributes. ¡°Bai Lu said that the Seven Luminaries Beast was also extremely precious in the ancient times. Looks like it¡¯s really a treasure.¡± After exclaiming, he recalled the Seven Luminaries Beast. Although it was powerful, the Seven Luminaries Beast was not something that other pets could communicate with. After relaxing, he felt hungry. He let the fox guard the house while he went out to buy some food. He had been busy with evolution recently and had not had a good rest for a long time. Now that the evolution was complete, he could finally relax! ¡°After resting for a few days, I¡¯ll start searching for Rank-8 materials.¡± With this thought in mind, he walked out of the door. He had only taken a few steps when he heard a familiar voice. ¡°Ye Fan!¡± He turned around and saw that it was Su Wan¡¯er, who ran over and hugged Ye Fan¡¯s arm. ¡°Fortunately, you were here. I couldn¡¯t reach out to you, so I came to look for you!¡± Ye Fan paused and looked at his communication device, only to find that there were several missed calls. He had been busy with his pets just now and did not notice. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was busy just now and didn¡¯t see you.¡± Ye Fan looked at her and explained calmly. ¡°Why are you looking for me so urgently?¡± ¡°It¡¯s something very urgent. Come with me first!¡± Ye Fan said, ¡°Tell me what it is first.¡± Su Wan¡¯er said simply, ¡°The exchange team from Heaven City has come to our school. The teacher asked me to look for you.¡± Ye Fan was a little surprised, only after Su Wan¡¯er¡¯s explaining did he roughly understand. Because Chaohai City and Heaven City were neighbors, the two cities had a close relationship. The academies were also friendly. Every year, they would send an elite team to the other party¡¯s territory to communicate. This year, it was Heaven City¡¯s turn. The Heaven City¡¯s team arrived yesterday. The venue was decided to be at West Eagle Academy in three days, but the team would officially visit the academy in the morning. ¡°Teacher didn¡¯t have time to inform you because of the emergency. He couldn¡¯t contact you in the morning, so he asked me to come and look for you personally,¡± Su Wan¡¯er explained. Ye Fan now understood that under the guise of an exchange, it was actually a spar between two cities. Both sides would send out elite students to PK each other to show their strength. This kind of thing happened every year. Although he had never seen it, he had heard of it many times. ¡°What are the academies?¡± ¡°Tiger Academy, Lion Academy, Mammoth Academy,¡± Su Wan¡¯er immediately replied. Just as she finished speaking, she realized that Ye Fan did not pay much attention to this matter, and she quickly said, ¡°The three academies in Heaven City have the same status as us, they are powerful.¡± Ye Fan understood and nodded. Su Wan¡¯er added, ¡°Senior Qin Hao and Senior Shen Yi are already in the square. The exchange should have started. Let¡¯s go quickly!¡± She pulled Ye Fan towards the school. In the middle of the square. A battle was going on in the arena. The two sides were young students under the age of 20, and there was a pretty girl among them. If Ye Fan was present, he would definitely recognize that the other party was the Dark Night Academy¡¯s chief disciple, Tang Nan, because they had fought before in the academy league. The girl¡¯s temperament was cold. At this moment, she frowned, her eyes filled with uneasiness. In the middle of the arena, five pitch-black pets were attacking the other party. They were chess soldiers that she was very proud of. They were very good at combining skills. They could strengthen their own kind and increase their power. The more of them there were, the more effective they would be. When the five of them worked together, their combat strength was not inferior to that of Rank-6 pets at all. Ordinary Rank-5 Beast Tamers would definitely not be their match. However, she had encountered a real Rank-6 Beast Tamer. Under the attacks of two Rank-6 pets, her five pets were retreating step by step. Now that they were being crushed and the pets were seriously injured, there might be casualties if they continued. She sighed helplessly and could only recall her pets. After all, it was just a spar. There was no need to use all her strength. If her pets died, it would take a long time for them to be resurrected. She didn¡¯t want to make such a huge sacrifice. ¡°The winner is Lin Feng.¡± The referee announced loudly. However, the referee was a teacher from the West Eagle Academy. After saying this, his expression was very ugly because this was Lin Feng¡¯s third victory. They won three consecutive rounds, and Chaohai City Academy lost three rounds. Lin Feng and his opponent smiled and nodded, their faces filled with smiles. ¡°Brother Lin is awesome! He won again!¡± ¡°Impressive, impressive!! This is already the third round.¡± The people from Heaven City cheered excitedly. Ten meters away, everybody from Chaohai City¡¯s faces darkened. Because of today¡¯s spar, the elites of the Red Snake Academy, the Dark Night Academy, and the West Eagle Academy were all gathered here. Everyone knew very well that although today was an exchange on the surface, it was actually a competition between two cities. This concerned honor. They did not want to admit that they were inferior to their opponents. Although the three academies usually fought each other, at this moment, they had all joined forces to fight against the outside world. They wanted to defeat their opponents in this exchange meeting, but their opponents were so powerful that it was beyond their expectations. They had lost to the other party in three consecutive rounds, and they had even lost to a student of the other party. This made them feel very ugly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a talent to appear in Heaven City.¡± Li Bo sighed silently. He was a teacher at West Eagle Academy and was in charge of communication. At the side, the instructor of Red Snake Academy, Jin Kong, also frowned tightly. ¡°This Lin Feng seems to be the top student of the Tiger Academy. He obtained third place in the school tournament. With such good results, this kind of student should be their trump card. It¡¯s not strange for Tang Nan to lose to him.¡± The expressions of Li Bo and the mentor of the Dark Night Academy, Hou Ming, softened slightly. However, they knew very well that even if the other party was the trump card, Tang Nan was also the trump card here. It was very difficult for them to accept that the first seat had lost. Sensing that the morale of the students on his side was low, Li Bo hurriedly said, ¡°This Lin Feng is a Rank-6. We can¡¯t let Rank-5 students fight him anymore. Shen Yi, you¡¯re up next.¡± In the previous competitions, everyone was a Rank-5 student. Although Chaohai City had lost more and won less, there were still some who had a chance of winning. However, after Lin Feng went on stage, he had won three rounds in a row. In the first two rounds, Lin Feng only had a Rank-5 pet. Therefore, everyone thought that he was a Rank-5 Beast Tamer. They only let Tang Nan go on stage after discussion, thinking that Tang Nan could defeat her opponent with chess soldiers. However, they did not expect that Lin Feng, who had been hiding his strength, would only reveal that he was Rank-6 halfway through the competition and directly defeat Tang Nan. Chapter 204 - 204 Exchange 204 Exchange This result was very shocking, but they did not lack Rank-6 Beast Tamers. After they reacted, they would definitely not let Rank-5 students go up again. After Li Bo finished speaking, Shen Yi nodded and walked onto the arena. After the league tournament, she had spent all her energy on cultivation. The reason for this was because she had been stimulated by Ye Fan¡¯s powerful strength. Shen Yi was also a genius in everyone¡¯s eyes and had received all kinds of praise since she was young. Although she did not show it on the surface, she was still quite proud in his heart, until she met Ye Fan and saw Ye Fan¡¯s strength increase time and time again. Every time they met, Ye Fan¡¯s strength would increase greatly. He was as fast as a rocket. It was shocking. Originally, everyone called her a genius, but compared to Ye Fan, she was not worth mentioning at all. This made her feel very uncomfortable, she could not accept this fact, so she worked hard to increase her strength. Another reason was that she felt that Ye Fan gave her a strange feeling. Although she did not know what it was, she did not want to fall too far behind Ye Fan. At the very least, she had to get close to Ye Fan and slowly catch up to him. In such a mood, she began to cultivate herself wholeheartedly. Before graduation, she finally broke through to Rank-6. Other than Ye Fan and Qin Hao, she was the third to break through to Rank-6 in Chaohai City. ¡°I wonder where Ye Fan went. If he was here, the people in Heaven City would not be our match.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s strength far exceeded his peers. He was not like a student, he was terrifyingly strong. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face. There were many things on her mind. She slowly walked to the arena and put away all her distracting thoughts. She looked at Lin Feng seriously. Lin Feng also sized up Shen Yi and stared at her face, his eyes filled with amazement. At this moment, the people in Heaven City were discussing. ¡°This girl is so beautiful. I wonder which school she¡¯s from?¡± ¡°She should be from West Eagle Academy. I heard them mention it before.¡± ¡°She¡¯s indeed good-looking. I wonder if her strength is enough?¡± ¡°Those who go on stage at this juncture definitely won¡¯t be too bad.¡± ¡°Even so, she¡¯s definitely not Lin Feng¡¯s match.¡± Everyone agreed with this last sentence. Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, the mentor smiled and shook his head. ¡°These ignorant students are too arrogant now.¡± The instructor of the Tiger Academy, Zhong Li, said. Beside him, the instructor of the Mammoth Academy, Zuo Yu, also smiled and said, ¡°After all, the number of times we¡¯ve won has indeed exceeded the number of times of Chaohai City. It¡¯s understandable that they¡¯re arrogant.¡± Zhong Li smiled and did not say anything, as if he agreed with him. On the other hand, Du Ze from the Lion Academy also smiled. ¡°The girl who left the venue is probably a Rank-6. If I¡¯m not wrong, she should be the top student of the West Eagle Academy.¡± Zhong Li and Zuo Yu smiled in agreement. After seeing Lin Feng¡¯s strength, the other party would definitely send out Rank-6 students. However, he felt that there were very few such students. It was already very good for one to appear in a school. Without thinking, he would definitely be the top student of this academy. As they spoke, the battle in the arena had already begun. She knew very well that Lin Feng was an opponent not to be underestimated. Shen Yi immediately summoned two Rank-6 pets. The low-level Rank-6 Kongyang Eagle and the intermediate Rank-6 Unicorn¡¯s sharp roar spread throughout the arena. Seeing that they were two Rank-6 pets, Lin Feng¡¯s expression changed and he no longer looked down on her. Even so, he still smiled and asked his pets to attack them. The two sides quickly fought. Neither Lin Feng nor Shen Yi planned to summon Rank-5 pets at this moment. They knew very well that Rank-5s had no chance of winning against Rank-6s. Not to mention that the two of them had the same number of Rank-5s. Even if they summoned them, the pets could only watch from the side. There was no possibility of them fighting. Therefore, the outcome still depended on which of the four Rank-6 pets would win. The battle was a draw now, but as time passed, the situation slowly changed. Both sides had Rank-6 pets. Lin Feng¡¯s side had intermediate and high-level Rank-6 pets, which directly suppressed Shen Yi. Even if the pets would affect the outcome and it was not just about their rank, it could not be denied that this factor could determine the outcome. Ten minutes later, Shen Yi¡¯s two pets were both injured and at a disadvantage. At this moment, everyone in Heaven City was overjoyed. If everything went smoothly, they would win again. The three mentors and the students in Chaohai City had ugly expressions. Shen Yi was already their trump card, but she was still not their opponent. They could not accept this fact. On the arena, Shen Yi also began to look awful. She felt that she wasn¡¯t strong enough and could only sigh silently. She wasn¡¯t someone who cared about winning or losing. After figuring out the situation, she immediately decided to admit defeat and retract her pets. ¡°I lost.¡± As soon as she said this, the people in Heaven City erupted in applause and cheers. Lin Feng also revealed a smug smile. ¡°Thanks for letting me win.¡± The atmosphere in Chaohai City was very heavy. Li Bo, Hou Ming, and the other two mentors looked at each other and could only sigh. Shen Yi was in the top three among the students, but she had lost in this situation. ¡°Let¡¯s send Qin Hao next!¡± Jin Kong from Red Snake Academy said. Li Bo and Hou Ming hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Qin Hao was the top student of Red Snake Academy and had also shone brightly in the league. If Ye Fan hadn¡¯t appeared, he should have been able to win the league. In terms of strength, Qin Hao was indeed stronger than Shen Yi. Not long after, Qin Hao walked onto the arena. Lin Feng finally got off the arena and changed to another student. This outcome was within everyone¡¯s expectations. Shen Yi wasn¡¯t weak. Although Lin Feng had won, he had exhausted a lot of his pets. He would definitely be at a disadvantage if he fought someone of the same level, so he went to rest. The student who replaced him was a little thin and wore short-sighted glasses. He was very refined. ¡°Which academy is this person from?¡± Chen Xin asked. The exchange meeting was not publicized. Therefore, other than the instructors, only the selected elite students could participate. There were not many spots to watch the event live. They were only given to outstanding students. In order to get this spot, everyone was fighting. Xiao Qiuya and Xu Menghan from the Rose Society were originally not qualified to get a spot, but the school allowed them to participate on account of Ye Fan. After hearing Chen Xin¡¯s words, Xu Menghan took a closer look at the boy in the arena. ¡°Gu Hai, the top student of the Lion Academy, Rank-6. He seems to be slightly stronger than Lin Feng. According to the rumors, he must have defeated Lin Feng before.¡± ¡°Another Rank-6.¡± Chen Xin frowned. Xiao Qiuya said, ¡°The chief disciples of Heaven City¡¯s academies are usually Rank-6. There are also many Rank-5s, so their overall strength is slightly stronger than ours.¡± Chapter 205 - 205 Critical Hit 205 Critical Hit The two of them agreed with her. Although they didn¡¯t want to admit it, this was indeed the case. In the Alliance, Chaohai City wasn¡¯t ranked high. Their overall strength wasn¡¯t even in the top 20. Heaven City was one of the top ten in the Alliance. The students from their schools were all outstanding. ¡°If Ye Fan is here, that would be great.¡± Chen Xin suddenly said. ¡°With Ye Fan around, Heaven City is not his match.¡± Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya agreed and nodded with a smile. Ye Fan¡¯s strength was no longer that of a student. His level was even higher. If he was here, so what if his opponent was the top student of Heaven City? Even all the students combined would not be enough. The students would at most be Rank-6, but Ye Fan was already Rank-7. While they were talking, they had already started fighting in the arena. Ever since the school tournament, Qin Hao had become stronger. Just like Shen Yi, he had two Rank-6 pets. In terms of strength, he was even stronger than Shen Yi. Other than the intermediate Netherworld Python, there was also a high-level one. When Gu Hai saw this, he also summoned his pet. A blue-skinned giant suddenly appeared! This was a Frost Giant, a peak Rank-6. There was also a mammoth with huge fangs, hard muscles, and a muscular body. This was a mammoth, a high-level Rank-6. After the two pets appeared, Chaohai City gasped. ¡°Frost Giant! Peak and high-level. This is bad.¡± ¡°This guy is even stronger than Lin Feng, right?¡± ¡°Then Qin Hao¡­ will be at a disadvantage.¡± The discussions in Chaohai City never stopped. The students¡¯ expressions were ugly, and the instructors¡¯ expressions were heavy. Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were very helpless at this moment, because the situation was the same as before. Shen Yi and the others had lost because they were suppressed by a level, so they lost. The same situation happened to Qin Hao again. The possibility of turning the tables was too low, so this battle was not much different from going on stage. Qin Hao seemed to have noticed it too. His expression changed slightly. He did not expect his opponent to be so powerful, but it was absolutely impossible for him to admit defeat before the battle started. His pride did not allow him to make such a disheartening choice. Gu Hai saw the change in Qin Hao¡¯s expression. He curled his lips and smiled disdainfully. Without saying anything else, he asked his pet to attack the other party. The battle started immediately. The situation was as everyone had expected. Qin Hao¡¯s two pets were at a disadvantage and were crushed by the other party. The situation on both sides was obvious. Seeing this, Li Bo and the other two mentors could only sigh silently. Ten minutes later, a wail sounded on the field. The python¡¯s huge body fell to the ground, raising dust that filled the sky. After the dust rose, everyone realized that it was no longer alive. ¡°Gu Hai!¡± Qin Hao¡¯s expression changed drastically as he looked at Gu Hai. The academy exchange between the two cities was originally a spar. The students would stop when necessary. Up until now, there had been no casualties. However, Gu Hai¡¯s pet had killed the Netherworld Python. That was why Qin Hao was so angry. The students of Chaohai City looked at Gu Hai angrily. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t pay attention and hit you a little too hard.¡± Facing everyone¡¯s anger, Gu Hai didn¡¯t take it seriously. He just casually found an excuse and smiled. However, no one was deaf. They could tell that there was no apology in his words. The mentor, Du Ze, coughed. ¡°He was careless. Everyone, don¡¯t be too calculative.¡± After saying this, he looked at Gu Hai. ¡°Be careful.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Gu Hai replied with a smile, but this smile made everyone very angry. Now that the Netherworld Python was dead, the situation was one against two. Qin Hao was no match for Gu Hai at all. In order to prevent his pet from dying again, Qin Hao could only admit defeat. Qin Hao glared at Gu Hai and walked down with a dark expression. Gu Hai looked at the students of Chaohai City indifferently. ¡°Is there anyone else?¡± The students of Chaohai City discussed animatedly, but they had no intention of going up. Li Bo and the other two mentors¡¯ expressions were very bad. The original exchange had become such an ugly situation. Although Heaven City was stronger than Chaohai City in terms of strength, the difference was too great. In the past, both sides had victories and losses in the exchange, but this year, an accident happened. Chaohai City was defeated in every match. Almost all the elite students went up, but they all lost. Suddenly, the atmosphere was very awkward. The three mentors¡¯ faces turned green as they sighed in their hearts. This was really too embarrassing. Not long after, Jin Kong suddenly asked: ¡°Li Bo, don¡¯t you have Ye Fan?¡± Speaking of Ye Fan, Hou Ming¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°Yeah, you still have such a trump card in your hands! Why isn¡¯t he here?¡± Because these two mentors had seen Ye Fan in the school tournament and knew that he was stronger than Qin Hao. If he was here, he would definitely be able to defeat Gu Hai. Li Bo sighed. ¡°It happened so suddenly that I couldn¡¯t contact him. I¡¯ve already asked the students to look for him. He should be here soon.¡± When everyone heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, Gu Hai was a little impatient on the stage. ¡°Are you still going to fight? If not, I¡¯m leaving!¡± Li Bo frowned. ¡°We still have a student who hasn¡¯t arrived. Wait a moment!¡± Gu Hai¡¯s disdain was written all over his face. The students of Heaven City also cheered loudly. ¡°Is the student not here yet, or are you calling for reinforcements?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not very useful for you to look for anyone at the last minute. Gu Hai is a Rank-6. Those who can fight him can only be of the same level. If you look for anyone now, you¡¯re just making up the numbers.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Why didn¡¯t the other Rank-6s arrive at the scene in the beginning? Could it be that they¡¯re still hiding?¡± ¡°Are you deliberately stalling for time because you don¡¯t want to admit defeat?!¡± The students of Heaven City were all booing, and their words were very unpleasant, directly infuriating everyone. The mentor coughed again and made the students under him quieten down. Then, he looked at Li Bo and asked, ¡°I¡¯ll give you another ten minutes. If he¡¯s not here yet, the exchange will end here. Is that okay?¡± Li Bo¡¯s expression was very bad, and he could only nod. The other two instructors did not look too good. If the exchange ended like this, the students of Chaohai City would not be able to raise their heads in the future. This was not a big deal. To put it more seriously, the future young people of Chaohai City would never be able to compare to Heaven City. This small exchange would directly affect the reputation of the two cities in the future. The atmosphere was quiet and calm. Suddenly, they heard footsteps and everyone immediately looked over. A good-looking girl pulled a young man over. Everyone¡¯s gaze fell behind. Whether it was the three mentors or Chen Xin and the others, they all looked happy. ¡°Ye Fan!!¡± Chapter 206 - 206 Late 206 Late The students of Heaven City found it very strange. Why was everyone so happy to see that boy? It was as if they had seen a life-saving straw. Ignoring the gazes around him, Ye Fan walked into the crowd and smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t see the message. I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m late.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, as long as you¡¯re here!!¡± Li Bo smiled and went up to him, finally feeling relieved. The other two teachers also smiled. After all, Ye Fan¡¯s reputation was too great. When he appeared, everyone felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. The expressions of everyone in Chaohai City were seen by the teachers in Heaven City. The students also looked at each other, not knowing what was so outstanding about this student. Du Ze coughed. ¡°Since he¡¯s already here, why don¡¯t we continue?¡± Li Bo agreed and looked at Ye Fan: ¡°Qin Hao and Shen Yi have lost, the other party is strong, we only have you.¡± The other two mentors also nodded. The people from the Rose Society were very curious. After all, other than them, no one else knew that Ye Fan had reached Rank-7. Ye Fan nodded and did not explain anything, directly walking onto the stage. ¡°Ye Fan, do your best!¡± ¡°Beat the crap out of them!¡± Chen Xin, Su Wan¡¯er, and the others cheered for Ye Fan, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger towards the students of Heaven City, but their words showed how much they believed in Ye Fan. Gu Hai curled his lips and sneered. That guy was just hired at the last minute. One look and you can tell that his strength is not good. You want to beat me? Dream on! I¡¯ll let you know how powerful I am later! Ye Fan calmly walked onto the arena, in the next second, he sensed the other party¡¯s malice, but he did not show any concern, he turned to the referee and nodded, indicating that he was ready. ¡°You can start now.¡± Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s calm expression, Gu Hai was very unhappy. After the referee announced the start of the competition, he immediately asked his pets to attack the other party. Seeing the domineering Frost Giant and the Mammoth Beast, Ye Fan did not panic at all. He calmly summoned his pets. With a flash of light, a slender figure appeared. It had a silver body and was slender and beautiful. The Seven Luminaries Beast appeared in front of everyone. After everyone saw the Seven Luminaries Beast, the audience exclaimed. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this pet before!¡± ¡°Mechanical type?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. It looks very unfamiliar.¡± Everyone looked very confused. Many people turned to look at the mentor, wanting an explanation. ¡°Teacher, what attribute is that pet?¡± Whether it was the three instructors of Heaven City or Chaohai City, they were all surprised. In fact, they had never seen such a pet before. ¡°I heard that many of Ye Fan¡¯s pets have rare attributes. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be true.¡± Li Bo exclaimed. Shen Yi and the others were the same. They were shocked because they had seen Ye Fan¡¯s pets before, but they didn¡¯t seem to have seen this one. ¡°Could it be that one of the battle pets has evolved again?¡± Su Wan¡¯er asked. Shen Yi felt that something was wrong. ¡°After evolution, no matter how big the difference is, its attributes won¡¯t change. Ye Fan originally didn¡¯t have a mechanical pet.¡± Everyone thought about it and felt that it was very right, but the confusion in their hearts intensified. Chen Xin smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? It¡¯s probably the seventh pet that Ye Fan just contracted.¡± Shen Yi and the others paused and suddenly remembered that Ye Fan had broken through to Rank-7 not long ago, so it should be a new contracted pet. Therefore, it was not strange that no one could recognize this pet. After all, every pet of Ye Fan¡¯s was very mysterious. No one in the Rose Society found it strange. On the stage, Gu Hai also sized up the Seven Luminaries Beast in surprise. He felt that this pet was very unusual because it did not emit any aura for the time being. It was very strange. But then, he pursed his lips. Any pet was fine. No matter what, they were not his match. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the three pets soon fought fiercely on both sides. Unexpectedly, after Ye Fan summoned the seven beasts, he did not do anything else. Gu Hai frowned. ¡°You¡¯re only using one pet?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s expression was calm and indifferent: ¡°Mm, it¡¯s enough to beat you up.¡± ¡°How arrogant.¡± Gu Hai was so angry that he laughed. Everyone in Heaven City was also making a commotion, they felt that Ye Fan was arrogant and conceited to say such words. ¡°This guy is a little too confident.¡± ¡°How is this confidence? This is called not knowing your own limits.¡± ¡°Brother Gu is strong. This kid only has one pet. He¡¯s probably courting death!¡± ¡°He won¡¯t last more than two minutes.¡± Discussions came from all directions. When Gu Hai heard this, a smug look appeared on his face. He looked at Chaohai City. Everyone in the Rose Society was very calm, but the other students were starting to look anxious. Several teachers were also a little worried, they felt that Ye Fan had indeed underestimated his opponent. ¡°Isn¡¯t Ye Fan being too careless? The other party¡¯s strength is not low, but he actually only summoned one pet to deal with it!¡± Jin Kong was anxious, he wished he could stand on it himself. ¡°Maybe he has his own plans.¡± Li Bo went to help Ye Fan. But his tone was not confident. Although Ye Fan was powerful and was the strongest among the young people in Chaohai City, and his strength surpassed many teachers, Gu Hai was not weak either. He was also the top in Heaven City. When the two of them collided, even if they tried their best, it was impossible for either of them to have a 100% chance of winning. Moreover, Ye Fan only planned to use one pet. Qin Hao had two Rank-6 pets, so it was impossible for Ye Fan to only have one. Putting aside the other pets, Ye Fan¡¯s skeleton was already at Rank-6. They couldn¡¯t understand what Ye Fan was thinking now. Unable to think of a reason, the three mentors could only turn their gazes back to the arena. As time passed, everyone¡¯s expressions gradually became shocked. The Frost Giant and the Mammoth actually did not have a high chance of winning against the Seven Luminaries Beast. Moreover, the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s entire body seemed to be harder than metal. Be it the Frost Giant¡¯s fist or the Mammoth¡¯s impact, the Seven Luminaries Beast did not suffer any flesh wounds. The Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s hands were as sharp as blades. Every time it waved them gently, there would be the sound of scratches in the air. Then, blood splattered, and wounds appeared on the Frost Giant and the Mammoth Beast. ¡°How could this be!¡± Gu Hai was dumbfounded. He could not believe that Ye Fan¡¯s pet was so powerful that even his Frost Giant and Mammoth Beast could not defeat it. The audience below the stage was also dumbfounded. They were all shocked. ¡°What kind of pet is this? How can it be so strong? It can even fight two pets alone!¡± ¡°The Mammoth is a high-level Rank-6, and the Frost Giant is a peak Rank-6. These two actually can¡¯t win even if they join forces?¡± ¡°Ye Fan¡¯s pet doesn¡¯t seem to be very powerful, but it¡¯s actually so powerful in a fight.¡± Chapter 207 - 207 Accident 207 Accident Everyone was discussing now, and the students of Chaohai City were pleasantly surprised. Chen Xin and Shen Yi¡¯s eyes were also shining as they looked at Ye Fan, as if they were looking at a celebrity. Ye Fan did not care about the commotion around him. He looked at the Seven Luminaries Beast with a thoughtful expression. The Seven Luminaries Beast was at the Rank-7. Just like the Skeleton, the Fox and the others, it could fight above its level. However, the combat strength displayed by the Seven Luminaries Beast was the same as that of ordinary Rank-7 pets. ¡°Could it be that he didn¡¯t transform?¡± Ye Fan thought so in his heart. Because the Seven Luminaries Beast looked like its initial form and had no attributes, everyone thought that it was a mechanical pet. Therefore, the Seven Luminaries Beast in its initial state was the same as ordinary Rank-7 pets. If it had shown its true strength, the Frost Giant and the Mammoth would have died long ago. How could it have been in a stalemate for so long? Even so, Ye Fan did not plan to let him transform immediately. Instead, he wanted to see how strong the pet was in his initial state. After careful observation, he would understand more. Time slowly passed again. The Seven Luminaries Beast had been controlling the battle, and its pace was very stable. The Frost Giant and the Mammoth Beast were already beaten until they could not fight back. Seeing this scene, Guo Hai was angry, but there was nothing he could do. A few minutes later, the Mammoth Beast let out a wail and fell to the ground heavily. Its body was already seriously injured and it had been bleeding profusely. At this moment, the Seven Luminaries Beast suddenly appeared in front of him like a bolt of lightning. It waved the blade in its hand and stabbed it into the other party¡¯s head. The ferocious beast seemed to have been electrocuted and instantly lost its breath. ¡°Ye Fan, you!¡± Gu Hai flew into a rage and glared at Ye Fan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I accidentally hit you a little too hard.¡± Ye Fan curled his lips. He had heard Chen Xin say what Gu Hai did to Qin Hao just now. It was a good time to let the other party experience this feeling. After all, Gu Hai had said this proudly just now, but now that it came from Ye Fan, the sarcasm was obvious, Gu Hai was so angry that his face turned green. Just as he was angry, he suddenly heard another wail. This time, the Frost Giant fell to the ground. The Seven Luminaries Beast had no intention of stopping. It stabbed its blade into the enemy¡¯s heart and spun around, and the enemy instantly lost all signs of life. The two proud pets were both killed. Gu Hai was so angry that he was about to go crazy. However, he had hurt Qin Hao¡¯s pets first, so he was in the wrong. Even if he wanted to scold Ye Fan, he couldn¡¯t. A complicated expression appeared on his face. Then, he could only sigh and walk down gloomily. ¡°Wow! You won so quickly?¡± ¡°Ye Fan is too powerful.¡± Looking at this historical scene, Chen Xin and the other students shouted in joy. The instructors also sighed at this moment. They had finally won against the other party and smiled. Qin Hao looked at Ye Fan¡¯s back excitedly. He was already very angry that his pet had been killed by Gu Hai, but he had to endure it. But just now, Ye Fan had helped him teach Gu Hai a lesson and even killed two of Gu Hai¡¯s Rank-6 pets. Qin Hao was naturally grateful and excited now. Looking at Ye Fan¡¯s figure, he sighed inwardly. Previously, he had lost to Ye Fan in the school tournament. He was unwilling to accept it and was very jealous of Ye Fan. After seeing Ye Fan¡¯s shocking strength in the Dragon Bone, he finally realized how far he was from Ye Fan. Usually, when the difference wasn¡¯t too big, there would be jealousy and unwillingness. However, when the difference was too great, this jealousy would disappear and they only be looked up to. Thus, he was feeling this way now, he was no longer jealous of Ye Fan, he only had deep reverence for him. The students of Chaohai City were very happy and excited, but the atmosphere in Heaven City was lifeless. The three mentors looked at each other with indescribable solemn expressions. What was this kid¡¯s background? How could he be so strong? Zuo Yu: ¡°He¡¯s a student of West Eagle Academy, right? He seems to be very familiar with West Eagle Academy.¡± ¡°Among the students of West Eagle Academy, all the Rank-6s have gone on stage.¡± Zhong Li shook his head and pointed at Shen Yi and the others. Zuo Yu thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, but he was even more puzzled. At this moment, Du Ze said with a strange expression, ¡°He might really be from West Eagle Academy.¡± Zuo Yu and Zhong Li asked in surprise, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Previously, there was news that the top student of West Eagle Academy was a first-year student, and he was not even 20 years old. At that time, I thought it was just a rumor, but now, it seems like this is indeed possible.¡± Zuo Yu and Zhong Li were stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief. First-year top student? You must be joking! Next, the two of them looked at Ye Fan. They did not pay much attention to him, but now, they saw that Ye Fan was indeed very young, even younger than the other students. ¡°First year? Really¡­¡± Zuo Yu¡¯s face was filled with shock. It was already very shocking that he defeated Gu Hai with one pet. Now, he knew that Ye Fan was only a first-year student and was not even 20 years old. It was really unacceptable. Zhong Li and Du Ze also looked like they had seen a ghost. Earlier, when Ye Fan rushed over, Li Bo was so attentive, so this was what happened. The few students sitting nearby were also shocked when they heard their conversation. ¡°Grade 1?¡± ¡°He does look very young. He reached Rank-6 before the age of 20. Isn¡¯t this a little abnormal?¡± The participants of the exchange were usually the most outstanding elite students in the academies, but now, they felt that their efforts were all in vain. As fourth-year students, they actually couldn¡¯t defeat a first-year student. If they hadn¡¯t seen them with their own eyes, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have believed it. Immediately, the atmosphere became even more strange. The students all looked at Ye Fan, speechless. At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly broke the strange atmosphere. ¡°Is there anyone else?¡± He looked at Heaven City. Only then did Du Ze and the others react. Then, they nodded in response and looked at a thin boy. ¡°Chen Liang, you¡¯re up next!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Liang nodded and strode forward. The atmosphere in Heaven City was originally heavy, but when they saw him, they heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°We can rest assured if Chen Liang goes up. He will definitely win against Ye Fan.¡± ¡°I heard that he has another pet evolving.¡± ¡°Then his strength has increased greatly again. I¡¯m really envious. However, he¡¯s definitely going to win this time.¡± The morale of the students in Heaven City soared. It was obvious that this was their trump card. When Chen Xin saw them, she turned to look at Li Bo. Chapter 208 - 208 It’s Hard to Say 208 It¡¯s Hard to Say ¡°Teacher, is that student very famous? How¡¯s his strength? Why does everyone¡¯s confidence multiply when they see him?¡± Li Bo glanced at Chen Liang, who was walking onto the stage. ¡°That person is from the Mammoth Academy. I think he¡¯s also the top student. He defeated Gu Hai and Lin Feng in the school tournament. He¡¯s the strongest student in Heaven City.¡± ¡°Ye Fan is in trouble now.¡± The students looked terrified and felt that he must be an impressive figure. ¡°That¡¯s hard to say,¡± Li Bo said after thinking for a while. ¡°Ye Fan can deal with two Rank-6 pets with one pet. Besides, Ye Fan has other Rank-6 pets. He¡¯s probably evenly matched with Chen Liang.¡± Everyone thought of this and felt at ease. Chen Xin and the others looked at each other and smiled, because they knew very well how powerful Ye Fan was. After Chen Liang walked onto the arena. He calmly looked at Ye Fan, and his eyes were shining. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect West Eagle Academy to have a genius like you.¡± It was not difficult to see that there was a trace of envy and jealousy in his tone. He was also a genius in everyone¡¯s eyes. He had been called a genius since he was young and had grown up under everyone¡¯s worshipful gazes. Everyone agreed that he, Gu Hai, and Lin Feng were the most powerful students in Heaven City. However, Guo Hai and Lin Feng were not in his eyes at all. Moreover, he had such strength and did not take the other party seriously, because the two of them could not defeat him even if they worked together. Therefore, in such an environment, he was naturally proud. Moreover, he felt that his strength was top-notch even in the Alliance. But this thought was shaken today, only because Ye Fan¡¯s strength was beyond his imagination. A first-year student and a Rank-6 Beast Tamer. The combination of these two identities was unimaginable and surreal. Even if he was usually conceited, he was indescribably shocked when he heard this news. Back when he was a first-year student, his level was only Rank-3. Even so, it was a huge commotion at that time. Everyone felt that he was a rare genius, but now, compared to Ye Fan, he was not worth mentioning at all. All his arrogance and conceit had turned to ashes at this moment, which made him feel extremely tormented. He could not wait to defeat Ye Fan. ¡°So what if you¡¯re a genius? Even so, I¡¯m above you now.¡± His eyes burned with intense battle awareness. Looking at Chen Liang, Ye Fan felt a little complicated. Seeing that the two of them did not intend to communicate, the referee immediately announced the start of the competition. Chen Liang summoned his pets. With a flash of light, five pets immediately appeared on the stage. Flame Snake, intermediate Rank-6. Flying Eagle, high-level Rank-6. Earth-element worm, high-level Rank-6. Ice Knight, peak Rank-6. Ice Stone Dragon, peak Rank-6. Five Rank 6 pets appeared on the stage. When the audience below the stage saw this, they suddenly erupted into a commotion. ¡°There are actually five of them.¡± ¡°This leap is too great. This is going to be exciting.¡± ¡°Besides, one of them is a dragon. Every one of these pets is powerful.¡± When the students of Chaohai City saw this, their faces were filled with shock. Everyone in Heaven City revealed smug smiles. ¡°Are you afraid? Chen Liang is our trump card. He has never disappointed us.¡± ¡°There are a total of five. The previous four were already very shocking. Now that there¡¯s another one, its strength must have increased exponentially.¡± ¡°Ye Fan will definitely lose this time. It¡¯s impossible for him to defeat five Rank-6 pets.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t he moving? Is he not going to summon his pet?¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably scared silly and hasn¡¯t reacted yet. I¡¯m dying of laughter!¡± However, as they smiled, they slowly realized that something was wrong. Even though Chen Liang had summoned five pets, Ye Fan¡¯s expression was still calm. He stood there leisurely, not planning to summon other pets. After seeing Ye Fan like this, everyone was suddenly puzzled. Seeing Ye Fan like this, the teachers were also very confused. They did not know what Ye Fan wanted to do. Chen Liang¡¯s expression gradually became complicated, but soon, he focused his gaze. ¡°Since you don¡¯t plan to summon anything, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. I¡¯ll get rid of your pet. I don¡¯t believe you won¡¯t summon anything else.¡± After that, all five pets attacked Ye Fan. Violent and fierce auras spread throughout the arena. Everyone held their breaths and watched this scene with all their attention, afraid that they would miss any detail. Facing the other party¡¯s powerful aura, Ye Fan did not panic at all. Instead, he was calm and composed. There was a smile on his face. ¡°This is a good opportunity for me to see the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s true strength.¡± Ye Fan also sent out his thoughts, and the Seven Luminaries Beast also began to change. Light flashed, its entire body was covered in red light, a scorching aura spread out, and the temperature instantly increased. After everyone felt it, they were still stunned before they could react. ¡°Why has he changed?¡± ¡°A pet can transform?¡± ¡°It seems to be a fire pet. Isn¡¯t he a mechanical pet?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded. The flames in the air continued. It was very obvious that the Seven Luminaries Beast had suddenly become a fire attribute. Therefore, they couldn¡¯t understand why their pets could change attributes. Before anyone could understand what was going on, the Seven Luminaries Beast had already begun to move. Scorching flames appeared in his palm, then condensed into a long sword. Blazing Sun Sword! With the weapon in hand, his power increased exponentially. His figure was like lightning as he rushed towards the pets that were running towards Ye Fan. He was so fast that Chen Liang¡¯s pets couldn¡¯t see him clearly. They all felt something suddenly sway in front of them. The Seven Luminaries Beast had already passed through the gap between them. In the next second, they all let out wails. The Ice Knight had already been cut in half at the waist. Just now, when they brushed past each other, he had been cut in half. The people below the stage suddenly sighed and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They could not believe that this scene was real. After all, that was the Frost Knight, the peak of Rank-6. Moreover, there should be a restraining relationship between their attributes. There was no reason for him to be killed in one strike. Just as they brushed past each other, he was actually instantly killed. Du Ze, Zhong Li, and the others reacted quickly. They immediately saw it and said in shock, ¡°Rank-7!!¡± As soon as they finished speaking, everyone realized that it must be a Rank-7 pet to kill a peak Rank-6 in a second. No matter how many talents and skills a pet could awaken, it had advantages and disadvantages. It was impossible to kill it in a second. Therefore, if it was an instant kill, it could only be a Rank-7 pet. Everyone was even more shocked when they realized that Ye Fan had become a Rank-6 Beast Tamer at the age of 20. Chapter 209 - 209 Refreshing Vision 209 Refreshing Vision However, from the looks of it, he had already reached Rank-7. This was already unexpected. Everyone was dumbfounded and did not react at all. They were stunned. The shock in their hearts was obvious on their faces. ¡°That¡¯s absolutely impossible.¡± ¡°If this pet is Rank-7, Ye Fan should have advanced to Rank-7 too.¡± Chen Liang found it very unacceptable at this moment. How could there be such an unreasonable existence? He had advanced to Rank-7 before the age of 20. How did Ye Fan do it? Such strength was a little unreasonable. No, it was completely unreasonable. In an instant, he felt his mind go blank. He could not imagine why this was happening. However, the battle was not over yet. As the Ice Knight died, the remaining four pets were still in shock. In the blink of an eye, the Seven Luminaries Beast rushed towards them again. They had no choice but to face the other party. The Flame Snake and the Flying Eagle were very fast. When the other party approached them, they attacked together, wanting to slow the other party down and cover their companions to avoid being attacked. The two pets fought together, but the Seven Luminaries Beast didn¡¯t slow down. A red halo lit up around it in an instant. Then, it spread out. Wherever it went, even the air became distorted, which showed how high the temperature was. This was one of his skills, Flame Spread. Before anyone could react, the Flame Snake and the Flying Eagle let out miserable cries after being touched by the halo. As if it had been electrocuted, it could not help but retreat. The Seven Luminaries Beast did not care about them and threw the sword in its hand at the Ice Stone Dragon. The flames shot out and split into two, two into four, and more. Just as the swords approached the Ice Stone Dragon, the number had already reached more than a hundred. Countless arrows rained down from the sky, piercing the Ice Stone Dragon¡¯s heart. At this moment, lightning and dust rose everywhere. After the dust dissipated, the Ice Stone Dragon was already lying on the ground, dead. ¡°This¡­ this¡­¡± The audience was dumbfounded. They didn¡¯t know what to say. In just a few seconds, two Rank-6 pets had died again. This fact had a huge impact on everyone. The mentors were also speechless. Their eyes widened as they watched the scene on the stage, not knowing how to react. The only thing that could be seen was shock. In a few seconds, two more were killed. Even if the other party was a Rank-7, it was unlikely for him to have such powerful combat strength. Therefore, what was going on with this monster in front of him? Every move and attack was clean, like a killing tool. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Ye Fan¡¯s pets are all strange and novel, I didn¡¯t expect them to be so powerful.¡± Hou Ming muttered to himself. Li Bo and Jin Kong nodded and felt that what he said was right. Therefore, it was not unreasonable for Ye Fan to be called the youngest and most powerful Beast Tamer. After the shock, applause and cheers erupted from the crowd, but only from Chaohai City. At this moment, Heaven City was silent, heavy and depressed. Not only the teachers, but also the students and Chen Liang in the arena were all speechless. Their minds were indeed shattered. Before the competition, they had never thought that there would be such a powerful opponent. ¡°Chen Liang¡­ will definitely lose¡­¡± This was the only thought in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°Is this guy still human?¡± Chen Liang looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, his heart was filled with bitterness. No matter what, he did not expect Ye Fan to have already advanced to Rank-7. No matter how proud he was, he wouldn¡¯t feel that he had the ability to fight above his ranks. The battle continued, but the situation had become a crushing victory. After instantly killing the Ice Knight and the Ice Stone Dragon, the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s appearance changed again. An earthen yellow color appeared between his eyebrows. Then, it spread to his entire body at an astonishing speed. The originally fiery red color turned into a dull earthen yellow at this moment. Earth-type. It was as if the ground was wrapped around his body. When everyone saw this scene, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, as if they had seen something unbelievable. ¡°It¡­ it changed again? It became an earth attribute!¡± ¡°Why is it so strange in broad daylight? It can actually change between two attributes. What exactly is this pet?¡± Everyone was shocked, but they didn¡¯t know how to express it. They could only watch with their mouths agape. The instructors of the two cities were both shocked. As experienced instructors, they knew very well the types of pets that had been recorded in the alliance. However, at this moment, they had no idea what this pet was. They had never seen or heard of it. ¡°This pet has many attributes, but multi-attribute pets don¡¯t seem to be like this¡­¡± Li Bo was also confused at this moment. He stared at the pet and sized it up. After transforming, the Seven Luminaries Beast attacked again. After confirming its target, it immediately attacked. Seeing the other party attack it, the Flame Snake let out a frightened cry and immediately attacked the other party with flames. At this moment, the raging fire spat out four to five meters from its mouth. The Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s eyes were firm, and it did not hesitate. However, many hexagonal earth-colored light shields suddenly appeared around its body. Each light shield was connected to the other, and its appearance was like a ball. It could also be called a shield. A protective barrier spread out around it, enveloping it. This move was called the Earth Shield. In the next second, he rushed into the flames and reached the Flame Snake. He stretched out his blade-like arm and pierced through it. At the same time that he passed the other party again, his body ignited a rich light, forming a huge fist. The incomparably robust huge fist hit the head of the Flaming Snake at this moment. Divine Power Fist! With the critical hit of this punch, the sound of the impact broke through the clouds. The Flame Snake¡¯s head was like an exploding watermelon. Blood splattered everywhere, turning into a rain of blood that fell to the ground. Without its head, the Fire Snake swayed left and right twice before falling to the ground heavily. However, in the blink of an eye, the Seven Luminaries Beast attacked another Battle Pet, the Flying Eagle. Before it could reach the Flying Eagle, it felt as if a phantom had appeared above its head. A heavy aura spread in all directions. The surrounding air was like a swamp. The Flying Eagle did not have time to react and froze on the spot. He could only feel the surrounding air pressing down on him as if it was solid, preventing him from doing anything. It was as if his entire body was bound. In the next second, this phantom fell from the sky like a mountain and smashed into his center. Dust rose around them again. After the dust settled, everyone realized that a very large pit had appeared in the arena. In the pit was Flying Eagle¡¯s position, but there was nothing left. There was only a pool of blood. Chapter 210 - 210 A Matter of Convenience 210 A Matter of Convenience Everyone gasped in unison. They imagined that if they were on the stage and their pets took the blow, the outcome would be unimaginable. Li Bo and the others were also Rank-7. Seeing this scene, they felt a chill down their backs. If it were their Rank-7 pets, they might not be able to withstand this attack. Even if they could, they would probably be severely injured. ¡°He¡¯s so powerful that his combat strength is probably Rank-8, right?¡± Du Ze¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Zuo Yu and Zhong Li were also shocked. They didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. In just a short while, four of the five pets had died, leaving only the giant worm. However, this pet had lost its fighting consciousness. It squatted in a corner and trembled in fear, unable to fight at all. At this moment, the outcome was obvious. In fact, when the Seven Luminaries Beast revealed its true strength, the outcome was already very obvious. After everyone came back to their senses, Chen Liang hurriedly recalled the last pet, afraid that it would be killed as cruelly as the other party. ¡°I¡­ I lost!¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Chen Liang said this with a pale face. However, his reaction was within everyone¡¯s expectations. They had all guessed that this would happen. Deafening applause erupted from Chaohai City, while the atmosphere in Heaven City was lifeless. At this moment, Li Bo, Hou Ming, Jin Kong, and the other two mentors revealed satisfied smiles. ¡°Teachers of Heaven City, should we continue?¡± When Du Ze heard Li Bo¡¯s words, he could only grit his teeth and shake his head. ¡°If we continue fighting, we¡¯ll only be embarrassing ourselves. Forget it, let¡¯s forget about it.¡± The two instructors from Lion Academy and Mammoth Academy were speechless. Chen Liang had already lost so badly. If anyone else went up, their outcome would be even worse. This West Eagle Academy could actually nurture such a powerful genius. Not to mention Heaven City¡¯s students, even if the teachers went up, no one would dare to say that they could defeat Ye Fan. Ye Fan¡¯s strength could no longer be said to be a student. After hearing Heaven City¡¯s reply, Chaohai City cheered excitedly, they all went over to look at Ye Fan. ¡°Ye Fan! You are so powerful!¡± ¡°Rank-7!! You¡¯re really too strong. You¡¯re the strongest!!¡± ¡°Senior Brother Ye is awesome!¡± Everyone praised him, especially the last sentence, Ye Fan did not know what to say. Everyone present was a fourth-year student, they were all a few years older than him. It was really strange to hear someone older than him call him senior brother. ¡°Hey! What are you doing!¡± Su Wan¡¯er said angrily, but she also hugged him. ¡°Alright, stop fooling around.¡± Li Yang helped him out. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you this time.¡± Ye Fan shook his head: ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. It¡¯s just a matter of convenience. After all, I am an academy student.¡± When the Heaven City students saw the other party cheering, they felt very uncomfortable. These words had really impacted them too much, directly hinting that they were too weak and could be resolved easily. When Li Bo heard this, he paused and laughed. ¡°The school has prepared a banquet after the exchange. Are you going to attend?¡± Ye Fan decisively rejected it. ¡°I have something else to do, I won¡¯t go.¡± Ye Fan was different from the other students, Li Bo did not say much: ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say anything else.¡± Hearing that Ye Fan had other matters to attend to, Su Wan¡¯er and Chen Xin tactfully did not continue to pester him. After chatting for a while, they left with everyone. Soon, Ye Fan also left. Actually, he had nothing to do, he just did not want to go to this banquet. He had originally planned to rest for a few more days, but he could not completely relax. He had to take the opportunity to collect information on Rank-8 materials so that he could make arrangements for his future operations. The materials needed were: the Skeleton¡¯s Soul Devouring Flower, the Firmament King¡¯s Earth Core Rock, the Fox¡¯s Divine Jade, Anissa¡¯s Moonlight Spirit Stone, Rose¡¯s Spiritual Energy Water, and the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s lightning crystal. ¡°It took a lot of time to gather all seven materials.¡± After dinner, he returned to the villa and went to the Adventurer¡¯s Association¡¯s website to search for information. The fastest way to find materials was to exchange them in the association. As long as he had enough contribution points, he could exchange for many materials. The results did not disappoint him. Soon, he exchanged for the first material. ¡°Lightning crystal requires more than 8,000 contribution points.¡± ¡°The exchange price is almost comparable to what is needed to become a Gold Adventurer.¡± Ye Fan sighed silently, because an adventurer needed ten thousand contribution points to advance from silver to gold. He continued to read and found the other two materials. ¡°9,000 contribution points for spiritual energy water, 8,000 contribution points for divine jade.¡± Other than that, there was nothing else. He guessed that the names of the materials might be different and checked again, but he still did not find anything. ¡°Only three¡­¡± He sighed. The materials needed for his pets were rare and difficult to find. He had been mentally prepared for this, so he didn¡¯t sigh too much. ¡°Gold missions offer about 1,000 to 3,000 contribution points, so I have to complete at least ten missions to gather the required contribution points.¡± If he was fast enough, it would take him about a month to complete more than ten missions. However, the difficulty of these three materials was considered low. The other four materials were the real problem. After searching online for a while, he found information about the Firmament King and the Earth Core Rock. He heard that there was such a material in a volcanic mountain range to the south of Chaohai City. Other than that, he probably could not find any relevant information about the Soul Devouring Flower, the Moonlight Spirit Stone, or the Meteorite Stone. ¡°Let¡¯s collect the materials I can find first. I¡¯ll think of something else slowly!¡± ¡°If I can¡¯t find it, I can only use evolution points to replace it.¡± Ye Fan quickly made a decision. After that, he didn¡¯t leave the city. He rested at home for a few days and found an opportunity to accompany Su Wan¡¯er and Chen Xin for a few days. Three days later, Ye Fan, who had rested and made preparations, went to the Adventurers¡¯ Organization to choose missions. Because he wanted to find the Earth Core Rock, he specially narrowed the distance. He searched for the missions related to the volcanic mountain range, so that he could look for the Earth Core Rock while completing the missions. Chapter 211 - 211 Spiritual Herb Mission 211 Spiritual Herb Mission Not long after, he chose a few missions. ¡°Collection-type missions are simple.¡± Ye Fan was a little happy, because he liked collecting missions and could obtain more contribution points. Because he could obtain up to five thousand contribution points for this mission, it was much better than missions of the same level. Then, he left the association hall and headed south. Ye Fan traveled very quickly. After all, he had seven pets, which could be used as transportation tools. Moreover, they were hundreds of times faster than ordinary transportation. Therefore, not long after, he rode the Firmament King to the volcanic mountain range. This place was burning with flames for a thousand miles. Plants outside the fire attribute could not survive, so in such an environment, all kinds of Numinous Treasures could be nurtured. Ye Fan said indifferently. ¡°Firmament King, go.¡± After hearing Ye Fan¡¯s order, the Firmament King understood what he meant and gradually slowed down as he walked towards the volcanic mountain range. ¡°Firmament King, what are you doing?¡± Seeing him slow down, Ye Fan asked. He did not understand why the other party was doing this. The Firmament King roared in reply. It was extremely intelligent and could understand how to deal with the obstacles in front of it. After Ye Fan arrived at the volcano mountain range, he would definitely not be idle. He had to find spiritual herbs and collect enough spiritual herbs to go back and submit missions to exchange for contribution points. However, there were powerful Rank 5 to 6 monsters in the depths of the volcanic mountain range, and there were monsters above Rank-6 here. Ye Fan felt that it was a little troublesome. ¡°You don¡¯t have to clear the obstacles. Just lure the Rank-5 beasts over. But I¡¯ll remind you to avoid the Rank-6 beasts as much as possible. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be in danger. I don¡¯t want to see any of my pets killed. Do you understand?¡± Ye Fan reminded it carefully. The Firmament King responded to Ye Fan with a cry and nodded. He knew that there were many dangers hidden in this volcanic mountain range. The reason why Ye Fan understood his intention was because the Firmament King was a very smart monster and could understand his thoughts. ¡°Let¡¯s go into the mountain!¡± Ye Fan had just finished speaking when the Firmament King strode over. Its speed was very fast, leaving only a gust of wind. The monsters in the volcanic mountain range were also very fast. Not long after, the Firmament King encountered many monsters, including a Rank-5. This monster was a huge snake with purple scales all over its body and a pair of huge horns on its head. Its entire body emitted a powerful pressure. It could be seen that this was a peak Rank-5 Purple Viper. The venomous snake was also very fast. Its defense and attack were quite terrifying, but it was a little afraid of the Firmament King. As the two of them fought, it did not take long for the venomous snake to catch up to the Firmament King. At this moment, the Purple Viper felt that something was amiss and suddenly became terrified. It did not expect this Firmament King to be so powerful. However, it did not admit defeat. Its body swelled up and it instantly entered the vigilant state, but there was still some fear in its eyes. At this moment, Ye Fan appeared in time. Seeing this, he planned to avoid this battle. After all, his mission here was not to fight the demonic creatures, but to collect spiritual herbs. In addition, the angry demonic creature that the Firmament King provoked was also Rank-6. There was no need to waste his combat strength here, so Ye Fan planned to leave with the Firmament King. Moreover, it was only a Rank-6 monster, and it was easy to kill. ¡°Go, my target is not you!¡± Ye Fan said. However, at this moment, the Purple Viper spat out a mouthful of poisonous fog at the Firmament King. This poisonous fog instantly enveloped the Firmament King. Seeing this, the Firmament King angrily planned to counterattack and spit out powerful flames. The two of them fought, but clearly, the purple poisonous snake could not defeat the Firmament King. The snake¡¯s combat strength was too weak. Just as Ye Fan had thought, fighting it was just a waste of time. In the end, the Firmament King roared and flames burned in a radius of a hundred meters. He passed through the poisonous fog and attacked the purple poisonous snake. The purple poisonous snake was injured, and the Firmament King planned to let it go. However, he did not expect the purple poisonous python to follow him closely and plan to launch a sneak attack. After realizing this, the Firmament King turned around and fought him. The two forces collided, and the surrounding air shook. Energy waves spread visibly. A large portion of the purple poisonous snake¡¯s body was burned by the Firmament King¡¯s flames. It roared in pain. Although its injuries were not serious, it had to injure the other party. Immediately after, it opened its bloody mouth and spat out a poisonous fog. It was poisonous blood corrosion! This was a special kind of poison that was very powerful. It could corrode the other party¡¯s flesh in a short period of time. This kind of poison was very rare. It could only be found in the teeth of the purple poisonous python. Moreover, its attack range was very wide. It could attack anything within a mile. The poisonous fog enveloped the Firmament King again. He instantly fell into the poisonous fog and felt that his blood seemed to have slowed down. A faint numbness gradually spread throughout his body, causing his speed to decrease greatly. ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you can last!¡± Ye Fan was very calm when he saw this. He did not feel any urgency. Although once this poison touched someone, even a Rank-6 would be instantly paralyzed, this was nothing to Ye Fan. The Firmament King howled. Suddenly, flames ignited on its body and spread quickly, instantly burning the poisonous fog. When the Purple Viper saw this scene, it was very shocked. It did not expect the other party to be able to burn its poisonous fog with fire. After all, it grew in a volcano. The fire in the volcano could not burn it, but it was burned by the fire spat out by the Firmament King. The Firmament King howled and attacked the poisonous snake. Now, it was his turn. His speed was incomparably fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the poisonous snake and slashed its body with his sharp blade. The poisonous snake let out a sharp pain and twisted its body in pain. However, no matter how it escaped, it could not escape the Firmament King¡¯s control. It could not escape at all and was crushed. At this moment, the Firmament King directly tore off the venomous snake¡¯s neck. After a painful roar, its entire body collapsed to the ground. After twitching a few times, a pool of blood flowed out and it fell to the ground. Seeing that the other party¡¯s body was not completely dead, the Firmament King followed up with a fire attack. The Viper¡¯s body was unable to resist at this moment, and it could only hold on bitterly. Chapter 212 - 212 Mission Completed 212 Mission Completed Although the venomous snake was not strong, it was much stronger than ordinary monsters. This was also the reason why the Firmament King did not want to fight it in the beginning. It originally wanted to dodge. After all, the venom of the snake was very troublesome. If the Firmament King was accidentally contaminated, its life might be in danger. However, the venomous snake had no intention of letting them go. That was why it wanted to end the battle quickly. Afterwards, Ye Fan ordered the Firmament King to use its skill to take the other party¡¯s life. The Firmament King divided the snake¡¯s body into many parts, especially its head. At this moment, it could still spit out poison. He directly burned it with flames. ¡°Use the Wings of Wind!¡± Ye Fan ordered. After the Firmament King heard the order, it released the skill. Flames burned between lightning and thunder, directly burning the venomous snake¡¯s body. The flames sprayed onto the venomous snake¡¯s body, and its body burned like dry firewood. The temperature of the fire was even higher than the temperature of the volcanic mountain range, and it could burn everything. The Firmament King was now a Rank-7. This skill was even more powerful than before and was comparable to a Rank-8. The originally huge body of the venomous snake was now burned and shattered. There was also a huge pit where the venomous snake was. Then, the Firmament King directly ate the other party. Just as he swallowed the venomous snake, he felt as if there was venom swimming in his body. After feeling this inexplicable feeling, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes lit up, as if he had obtained a pleasant surprise. He did not expect that devouring this venomous snake could actually increase his strength. At the same time, Ye Fan also felt that the Firmament King¡¯s growth had increased, and its speed was even faster than killing monsters of the same level. ¡°Continue eating.¡± Ye Fan said. Immediately after, the Firmament King ate all the other parts of its body. This was as if it had seen delicious food. Although there was poison left on its scales, the Firmament King was completely immune to poison and could directly ignore it. After eating this Purple Viper, he discovered that the Firmament King¡¯s growth had actually increased to 15%. Ye Fan stared at the system interface with joy in his eyes. Afterwards, Ye Fan willed the Firmament King to hunt venomous snakes of the same series. The Firmament King immediately followed the orders and only attacked the Purple Vipers, ending the battle quickly. As for Ye Fan, he summoned the Inferno Tyrant to protect him and went to pick the spiritual herbs. The spiritual herbs were not rare in the volcanic mountain range. As long as he could deal with the monsters in the mountain range, plucking them was easy. By the time he returned after plucking the spiritual herbs, the Firmament King¡¯s growth had also reached more than 30%. Not only had he completed the mission, but his growth had also increased greatly. After he returned to the city on the Firmament King, Ye Fan went to the Adventurer Organization Hall to submit the mission. At the same time, he set his sights on the mission in the volcanic mountain range. After all, he had gained a lot this time. He might make a few more trips. While his contribution points increased, he could also increase the Firmament King¡¯s growth to the maximum. After the Spirit Grass mission was submitted, he looked at the increase in contribution points in satisfaction and smiled. When the staff at the side saw Ye Fan choosing the missions in the volcano mountain range, they felt that this young man looked to be less than twenty years old, but he actually chose the missions in the volcano mountain range. They felt that he was really bold! But they were only staff members after all, so one of them kindly went forward to remind him. ¡°Sir, the danger factor of the volcanic mountain range is high. There are many high-level Rank-6 and Rank-7 monsters inside, and there are even Rank-8 monsters. You have only advanced to Rank-7. I don¡¯t recommend you to choose the mission here!¡± Ye Fan paused for a moment before smiling politely: ¡°Thank you for your reminder, but I have already gone there once and indeed encountered a monster like the Purple Viper. I have killed about seven or eight of them, so I have a rough understanding of the situation inside. The reason why I chose the volcano mountain mission again is because I can handle it.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Ye Fan and wondered if he was bragging. He had killed seven or eight Purple Vipers just like that? Ordinary Rank-7 Beast Tamers would not choose such a dangerous place. Besides, ordinary Rank-7 Beast Tamers would probably need to be very talented to kill a Purple Viper. The staff was also very shocked. He had already gone there once? And killed seven or eight venomous snakes? This was unbelievable. However, when he walked closer, he saw that the page of submission was still there. The young man had indeed submitted the Spiritual Herb Mission in the volcano mountain range. There were indeed many Purple Vipers guarding the Spiritual Herb. What he said should be true. ¡°Even so, your pets must have suffered heavy casualties. You definitely can¡¯t accept any more missions. Why don¡¯t you go back and rest for a few days before you accept the missions in the Volcano Mountain Range?¡± The staff became very respectful after seeing that he was strong. Ye Fan waved his hand. There was no damage at all. It even increased their growth by a lot. He could not wait to go again. Contribution points were his greatest goal, he did not want to waste any time. ¡°I only used one pet, and it¡¯s not injured. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Not injured? You only used one pet?¡± The staff¡¯s expression froze, as if he had seen a ghost. He did not believe Ye Fan at all, but looking at the young man¡¯s calm expression, he did not seem to be talking nonsense. Everyone present was dumbfounded and discussed. ¡°He¡¯s not even twenty years old, right? He completed the mission in the Volcano Mountain Range with just one pet? Who is he?¡± ¡°He looks so familiar. Where did I see him before¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s Ye Fan! He is Ye Fan, young and powerful, the legendary peerless genius!¡± ¡°So he¡¯s Ye Fan. You are right!¡± Hearing that someone recognized Ye Fan, the staff was stunned. He suddenly understood why Ye Fan could complete the volcanic mountain¡¯s spiritual herb mission so easily and even kill several purple venomous snakes. It was that genius Ye Fan! He looked at the new mission that Ye Fan had taken a fancy to: Volcano Exploration Mission. There was some worry in his eyes. Even though he knew that Ye Fan was powerful and was a one in a million genius, there were Rank-8 monsters in the depths of the volcano mountain range. No matter how smooth the trip was for him to go alone, he would not be able to escape danger. If he encountered danger, something would definitely happen. Seeing that the staff wanted to say something, Ye Fan spoke first. He did not want to waste time here, he only wanted to quickly complete the mission. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen.¡± With that, he looked at the exploration mission in the volcanic mountain range on the mission panel. There were a total of 2,000 contribution points. He immediately clicked to receive it and turned to leave. Suddenly, a member of the Green Stone Hunter Group appeared behind him. Chapter 213 - 213 Come Together 213 Come Together ¡°You are the legendary Ye Fan, you want to go to the volcanic mountain to do a mission? Our Green Stone Hunter Group is also doing a mission, why don¡¯t we go together!¡± The one who spoke was a man in a white shirt standing in the middle of the Green Stone Hunter Group. He looked to be in his late twenties and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a strong figure and looked like a refined scum. The Hunter Group that dared to accept the mission of the Volcanic Mountain Range was probably one of the best in the Adventurer¡¯s Association. Ye Fan pondered and asked curiously, ¡°And you are?¡± ¡°We¡¯re from the Green Stone Hunter Group. I¡¯m the leader, Xiao Xiao. These are my members. We¡¯re going to the volcano to complete an exploration mission.¡± Was it also an exploration mission? What a coincidence. The missions they received were about the same. Ye Fan had some impression of the Green Stone Hunter Group because they had been on the bulletin board in the hall many times. The missions they received were not low, and the people in the team were all Rank-6 or Rank-7. Originally, they did not plan to accept the mission in the Volcano Mountain Range. However, after killing the monsters there, they would be able to obtain a lot of valuable rare materials. Moreover, they should not encounter any high-level monsters in the periphery. That was why they wanted to give it a try. However, while they were hesitating, they heard the conversation between the staff and Ye Fan. After knowing the other party¡¯s identity, they came over to invite him. ¡°Since you are also going on a mission, I have no reason to stop you.¡± Ye Fan¡¯s words were ambiguous. It seemed like he did not refuse, but he did not agree either. Although he could complete his mission alone, it was none of his business if these people wanted to go. There were a total of six people in the Green Stone Hunter Group, but all of them looked to be quite strong. One of them was a woman and the other were five men, and the girl was called Xiao Wu. She looked to be the youngest, only about 24 years old. ¡°Then let¡¯s go!¡± Xiao Wu said enthusiastically and happily. She had long heard of Ye Fan, this was the first time she had seen him. She did not expect him to be so handsome, so her gaze was on Ye Fan. With that, the few of them left the hall and flew towards the volcanic mountain range. This Xiao Xiao also had a flying mount, the Frost Tyrannosaurus. He led the team to the volcano, but to his surprise, Ye Fan was riding a pure dragon-type pet. As soon as everyone arrived at the volcanic mountain range, they heard a very loud sound. Then, a violent wind blew up sand and dust, and the entire sky was covered in dark clouds. Ye Fan frowned as he looked at the sky, he saw a black shadow moving through the clouds. It was getting closer and closer, flying towards them. The monster was more than five meters tall. It had a pair of huge wings on its back. Its entire body was grayish-brown and it had plump feathers. However, there were no feathers on its head. It was very strange, like a meatball filled with pustules, making people feel disgusted. Not only that, but this monster also had a very sharp mouth and sharp claws. Its eyes flickered with blue flames. Although Ye Fan frowned, his expression was calm. The people of the Green Stone Hunter Group were already panicking. They did not expect to encounter a Rank-8 monster the moment they arrived at the volcano. ¡°It¡¯s a Fire Swallowing Beast! A beginner Rank-8 monster!¡± A muscular man in the group was the first to recognize it. ¡°Everyone, be careful! Don¡¯t be targeted by it alone!¡± They instantly told him about this monster, Ye Fan suddenly realized that they had done their homework before coming. Otherwise, they would not have been able to recognize it at a glance. But before they recognized it, Ye Fan already knew. At this moment, he was staring at the system interface, looking at the information of the Fire Swallowing Beast. It was a beginner Rank-8 monster, unique to the volcanic mountains. It was a wind-and-fire monster, not afraid of high temperatures. Its advantage was its speed and ability to absorb all fire attacks. The six of them immediately summoned their pets. They stood in a circle, and so did their pets. Even so, they didn¡¯t forget to be vigilant. At this time, Ye Fan did not stand with them. He calmly analyzed how to deal with this Fire Swallowing Beast. ¡°Ye Fan! Come over quickly, be careful not to be attacked by it!¡± Xiao Xiao said solemnly. The members of the Green Stone Hunter Group were all very vigilant against the Fire Swallowing Beast. The Fire Swallowing Beast attacked them as if it had seen an invader. At the same time, there was a crackling sound in the void. A ball of fire attacked them quickly. The soldiers ordered their pets to fight back. The energy waves of the fire elements vibrated in the air and were absorbed by the Fire Swallowing Beast. ¡°Amazing! I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a level as soon as I arrived! We¡¯re doomed!¡± A teammate said. ¡°How unlucky! How could this be? Didn¡¯t they say that Rank-8s were in the depths? Why did this one appear at the volcano entrance?¡± Xiao Wu felt very unlucky. She was not weak to begin with, but against a monster of this level, she was terrified and her eyes were filled with tears. After Ye Fan calmly analyzed, he did not summon the Inferno Tyrant like last time. Instead, he summoned Anissa. Both of them had absorption skills. He suddenly became interested. With a flash of light, Anissa appeared and calmly looked at the Fire Swallowing Beast in the sky. ¡°Anissa, go!¡± Anissa nodded and obeyed. Then, a gust of wind under her feet rushed towards the Fire Swallowing Beast. When the Fire Swallowing Beast saw Anissa, it was a little vigilant. Clearly, it felt that this opponent was not on the same level as the group of people standing in a circle. The Fire Swallowing Beast roared and flapped its wings to attack Anissa. Its blue eyes were very obvious. It opened its bloody mouth and stuck out the fireball. Anissa cleverly dodged and quickly rushed towards it. The moment it approached, Anissa slashed out with the blood sword, meeting the Fire Swallowing Beast¡¯s sharp claws. The former only trembled slightly, while the latter was forced back a few meters by this shocking power. Then, Anissa quickly attacked and fought the Fire Swallowing Beast. ¡°What!¡± Xiao Xiao frowned as he watched this scene. He found it unbelievable. Although the Rank-8 Fire Swallowing Beast was only at the beginner level, it was still at the Rank-8 level. How could Ye Fan¡¯s Rank-7 pet fight it without being injured? The others were also shocked, looking at the scene in front of them. Originally, they thought that Ye Fan did not come because he did not react, but now, it seemed that was not the case. The Fire Swallowing Beast brandished its sharp claws at Anissa. Accompanied by the violent wind, it was so fast that it cut through the air. Only a whistling sound could be heard. Anissa used the blood sword to meet the attack. The two of them hit each other again. The Fire Swallowing Beast¡¯s sharp claws left shallow marks on Anissa¡¯s body, but it was only to the extent of breaking her skin. The blood sword landed on the Fire Swallowing Beast¡¯s body, leaving a wound that bled non-stop. However, this blood was instantly absorbed by Anissa and turned into a ball of blood. The ball of blood was still slowly growing larger. The Fire Swallowing Beast howled in pain deafeningly. It hesitated for a few seconds before spreading its wings, planning to escape. Chapter 214 - 214 It’s Very Dangerous Here 214 It¡¯s Very Dangerous Here ¡°Anissa, don¡¯t let it escape!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± After Anissa received the order, a pair of blood-condensed wings suddenly grew out of her back and she quickly chased after him. After the Fire Swallowing Beast flew into the sky, it thought that it was safe. It was a little angry and planned to turn around and launch a sneak attack. However, just as it turned around and spat out the fireball in its mouth, it saw Anissa chasing after it. It ferociously shot magma fireballs at Anissa. Anissa¡¯s speed in the sky was not inferior to a flying creature at all. She dodged a few times and only took one hit. However, this attack burned a few holes in her dress. Anissa was furious on the spot and directly threw the blood ball in her hand. The Fire Swallowing Beast could absorb flames, but it could not absorb the blood ball. Before it could react, it was heavily hit and fell to the ground. The Fire Swallowing Beast was severely injured and could barely stand up. It could only watch as Anissa approached step by step. The Fire Swallowing Beast had just caught its breath when Anissa jumped into the sky. She held her sword with both hands and slashed down like a waterfall. The Fire Swallowing Beast opened its eyes wide, but it could only meet the attack. Its wings shrank into a ball in front of it, but it was useless. Anissa¡¯s attack had severely injured its wings, and it could not even fly. At this moment, Ye Fan calmly said, ¡°Kill!¡± Anissa nodded and obeyed. Then, she raised the sword in her hand. Huge energy gathered on the sword. The Fire Swallowing Beast looked like it had accepted its fate and could not escape at all. Then, a sorrowful cry sounded as the Fire Swallowing Beast was killed. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, it took them a while to react. This Ye Fan was really strong, even stronger than the rumors. After all, this Fire Swallowing Beast was not weak. If it were them, how confident would they be in escaping? Xiao Xiao was stunned for a few seconds. He thought to himself: At the cost of everyone being injured, they would at most have 30% confidence. ¡°Wow! Ye Fan, you are too amazing, seeing is believing, we are all stunned!¡± Xiao Wu said. Ye Fan smiled and did not think much of it, but he did not expect to encounter a monster like the Fire Swallowing Beast as soon as he arrived, and it was even in the periphery. If he went deeper, he would only encounter stronger monsters, although it was not dangerous for him. Seeing the materials dropped by the Fire Swallowing Beast, Ye Fan glanced at them and did not see what he wanted. However, the Green Stone Hunter Group¡¯ eyes were wide open. Although the materials dropped were not very rare, many of them were worth a lot, enough for them to do missions for several years. ¡°There is nothing I want among these materials, you can do whatever you want.¡± Ye Fan said lightly. Hearing this, Xiao Wu¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately rushed forward. She smiled and picked up a material she liked. ¡°Commander, this Charming Fire Pill can¡¯t be dropped anywhere else. Since Ye Fan said that he doesn¡¯t want it, we won¡¯t hold back!¡± Xiao Xiao nodded. Seeing so many materials with high prices, he was also overjoyed. The members of the Green Stone Hunter Group were processing the materials. Ye Fan rode the Firmament King into the sky to scout the way. He had been here once before, so he basically knew the way around the periphery. However, when he flew into the sky, he could not see clearly. There were mountains everywhere, and his vision was not very clear. What shocked Ye Fan was that when he looked down from the sky, he seemed to have sensed something similar to a barrier. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to see anything. Although this exploration mission was not as simple as he had imagined, it did not change his mind about exploring the depths. Instead, he wanted to understand the secrets of this volcano even more. After all, up until now, there was not much detailed information about the volcano on the Internet. He only knew that there must be Rank-8 monsters in the depths. The volcano contained the Essence of Heaven and Earth. The strength of the monsters that cultivated here increased extremely quickly. Therefore, this was an excellent place for cultivation. However, it was also a place where monsters were a threat. Although the Fire Swallowing Beasts were not as difficult to fight, Anissa had fought for nearly ten minutes. If a few more came, he might not be able to defeat them with just one pet. Thus, he had to be more vigilant for the rest of the journey. Thinking of this, Ye Fan looked at the members of the Green Stone Hunter Group behind him and asked curiously: ¡°You are on an exploration mission at the periphery, we will have to part ways here. My mission is to explore the depths, why don¡¯t we say goodbye?¡± Xiao Xiao was stunned and immediately said, ¡°This place is very dangerous. The Fire Swallowing Beast is a monster that we won¡¯t encounter even once every ten times. We encountered it as soon as we arrived. You can imagine the danger here. Are you sure you want to go deeper?¡± Ye Fan nodded. He naturally had to go there after accepting the mission. Besides, he had the confidence to avoid the monsters alone. If he brought these people with him, it would probably be difficult to deal with the monsters without fighting. ¡°Could it be that Ye Fan has already found the entrance to the depths?¡± Zhang Xiong asked curiously. Ye Fan really had not found it, but he had an idea about the general direction, so he wanted to walk over and explore. There was no guides on the Internet for this deep entrance, he could not see it from the sky, he could only slowly search. He shook his head. ¡°I think the entrance is hidden. There¡¯s very little information about this volcano on the Internet. Do you know the entrance?¡± Xiao Xiao shook his head. Actually, they had come once before to look for high-level materials, but the danger they encountered at that time almost made them unable to return. This time, they had all advanced to a higher level, so they wanted to try again. Moreover, according to reliable sources, there was not much danger in the periphery. The monsters that appeared were only Rank-6, so they took the risk to come over. ¡°A very small number of people have discovered the entrance, but what we¡¯ve heard is that the entrance suddenly appeared. There¡¯s no fixed location, but the general direction is southwest of the volcano.¡± Ye Fan looked to the southwest. He indeed had a premonition that the entrance was there, but he could not see anything when he was on the Firmament King¡¯s back, which meant that the entrance was definitely hidden. If he wanted it to appear, he could only wait for an opportunity. Realizing this, Ye Fan thought for a while. Xiao Xiao thought that he had changed his mind. He smiled and comforted him: ¡°I heard that almost no one can come out. Ye Fan, it is too risky for you to go alone. No one has completed this deep exploration mission, so it is not embarrassing for you to return empty-handed.¡± Right now, Ye Fan was not thinking about whether he would lose face or not, but how to make the entrance appear. He did not want to retreat at all. While thinking, he suddenly heard a loud sound, followed by hurried footsteps. ¡°Boss, save me!¡± Xiao Wu shouted for help as she ran over. When everyone saw clearly, they realized that not far behind her, there was a huge snake with fangs that was more than ten meters long and glowing with blue light. It opened its bloody mouth and chased after her. Chapter 215 - 215 Good at Invisibility 215 Good at Invisibility ¡°Not good, it¡¯s the Blue Viper!¡± Seeing this, Xiao Xiao immediately summoned his pets, the Frost Tyrannosaurus and the Venomous Ant Queen. The Frost Tyrannosaurus and the Venomous Ant Queen were both intermediate Rank-7 pets. There was also a humanoid pet in armor, which was at the early Rank-7. He asked his pets to attack the giant snake, which diverted its attention. Only then did Xiao Wu return to the team safely. ¡°Where did you go? Why did you attract the Blue Viper?¡± Xiao Xiao asked seriously. Xiao Wu handed the spirit herb to him with an aggrieved expression. ¡°I saw a Fire Silkworm Spirit Herb, but it grew on the cliff. I climbed up to pick it and found a snake guarding it.¡± The Blue Viper spat out its venom to attack. The Frost Tyrannosaurus immediately froze with its attack. The Blue Viper¡¯s venom was a hundred times more poisonous than the Purple Viper¡¯s. If anyone touched it, their skin would fester and their entire body would be poisoned. If it was serious, they would die on the spot. The Venomous Ant Queen immediately attacked with its venom. Her venom was not as strong as the Blue Viper, but its power was not low. The strength of the poisoned monster would be reduced by half. This Venomous Ant Queen was Xiao Xiao¡¯s trump card. He would not use it unless it was such an important moment, but in order to save Xiao Wu, he did not care so much. However, after the Blue Viper received the venom attack of the ant queen, its combat strength only decreased by half. This surprised Xiao Xiao. He did not expect the Blue Viper to be so difficult to deal with. It was only an intermediate Rank-7 monster, but it was actually so troublesome. At this moment, the humanoid armored soldier had already jumped up with a saber and slashed at its target, the Blue Viper. The slash was fast, accurate, and ruthless. The Blue Viper didn¡¯t have time to react before it was hit. The scales and armor on its body were cracked. If it was hit a few more times, it might shatter. At that time, the Blue Viper would lose the scales that protected it and become much easier to deal with. Thinking that, Xiao Xiao ordered the three pets to continue taking turns. While exhausting the Blue Viper, they could also find an opportunity to attack. Seeing Xiao Xiao¡¯s experienced reaction, Ye Fan¡¯s eyes flashed. Along the way, he could tell that Xiao Xiao was interested in Xiao Wu. Since Xiao Xiao could deal with this monster, he would not interfere. He would not participate in such a heroic act. Then, he moved his gaze to the system interface and looked at the information of the Blue Viper. Name: Blue Viper Level: Intermediate Rank-8 Skill Characteristics: The venom¡¯s effect is fierce. The poisoned person will explode and die in five minutes. It¡¯s good at invisibility. Detoxification: There is an antidote for the poison in the materials dropped after death. Wait! He had forgotten about the invisibility ability. Just now, he was wondering why Xiao Xiao could fight so easily. There was general information about the Blue Viper on the Internet. It said that it liked to attack other monsters when it was invisible. Ye Fan suddenly raised his head to look at the battle, he saw that the Blue Viper was drawing out the battle and slowly retreating. Xiao Xiao¡¯s group members all looked like victory was in their grasp, they felt that their leader had completely grasped the rhythm of the battle and was about to take down this Blue Viper. Only Ye Fan knew that this was not the case, because the Blue Viper was aggressive, just like the Purple Viper. Even if it knew that the other party was strong, it was not afraid at all. Instead, it kept attacking, unwilling to let the enemy go. Thus, there was definitely a reason for this. This Blue Viper was not retreating or trying to escape, it was planning to turn invisible at the right time and launch a sneak attack. Realizing that, he was about to remind them when he saw that the battlefield was already far away. Xiao Xiao felt that they should pursue the victory. After all, the materials dropped after the Blue Viper was defeated were several times more than those dropped by the Purple Viper. For the sake of the materials, the Green Stone Hunter Corps naturally couldn¡¯t let the monster escape. Therefore, he ordered his three pets to chase after them. ¡°Wait! Xiao Xiao, the situation is not right. Retreat!¡± After Ye Fan finished speaking, the other members were stunned and laughed. Zhang Xiong also smiled and patted Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? The team leader defeated that Blue Viper. As long as he attacks again, he will definitely win. If we don¡¯t chase after it now, wouldn¡¯t we have let a big fish escape for nothing?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Although the leader¡¯s strength is inferior to yours, he¡¯s the strongest among us. Our leader can still deal with a Rank-7 Blue Viper!¡± Did he think that he was stronger than them just because he had defeated a Fire Swallowing Beast? He hadn¡¯t even moved when Xiao Wu had asked for help. Now that their leader was about to win, what did he mean by stopping their leader? No one listened to Ye Fan now. They just stood there and watched the commotion, waiting for the three pets to return with good news. Ye Fan frowned slightly, he could only follow, but in the next second, he was pulled back by Zhang Xiong, whose arm hanging on his shoulder. ¡°Brother Ye Fan, don¡¯t worry, our leader will definitely be fine.¡± Being restrained by Zhang Xiong, Ye Fan was a little anxious, he could only ask Anissa to chase after him. Anissa heard her master¡¯s instructions and immediately chased after him. The group members felt that Ye Fan was thinking too much. They were about to win, what was there to be nervous about? However, ever since the pets chased after it, they had been unusually quiet. When Xiao Xiao realized that something was wrong, there was suddenly a loud bang. The energy wave shocked everyone. ¡°Not good!¡± Ye Fan and Xiao Xiao immediately chased after them to check on the situation. They saw Xiao Xiao¡¯s three pets lying on the ground with injuries. The Blue Viper opened its bloody mouth and let out an especially deafening cry, as if it was mocking them. Suddenly, the Blue Viper spat venom at the three pets. At the critical moment, Anissa blocked it with her blood shield. However, the blood shield was filled with venom and could not be used again. Although the three pets were saved, Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded. The other members were also dumbfounded. They didn¡¯t know what had happened at all. Why had the situation changed so drastically? The Blue Viper, which had fled in a sorry state just now, was exceptionally strong at this moment. The three pets that had the upper hand just now were all injured. ¡°It¡¯s the invisibility skill. This is the talent of the Blue Viper. Xiao Xiao, didn¡¯t you come here once before?¡± The Blue Viper was different from the Purple Viper. The Purple Viper did not have the ability to turn invisible, but the Blue Viper had the ability to turn invisible. Ye Fan calmly looked at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao was shocked, he had forgotten about this, but no one had reminded him at that time. Ye Fan seemed to want to say something, but they did not care, that was why this happened. Xiao Xiao¡¯s expression was a little bad, he realized that he had been too careless and had actually forgotten such an important point. The other members were also stunned when they arrived, they could not believe that the situation would change so drastically. After hearing Ye Fan¡¯s words, they understood why this happened. Zhang Xiong blamed himself for stopping Ye Fan, the others also wanted to say something but did not know how to comfort him. In this moment of delay, they still had to deal with the Blue Viper in front of them that had activated Berserk mode. The blood that was originally used for combat could not be used repeatedly at this moment. The blood in her body had yet to recover. Anissa originally wanted to use the blood to transform into a weapon to fight. However, the Blue Viper¡¯s venom could be spat out three times in a row, which meant that there was still one more time. If Anissa¡¯s blood could not withstand another attack, it would affect the battle. Chapter 216 - 216 Invisibility Skill 216 Invisibility Skill ¡°Come back, Elissa.¡± Ye Fan did not hesitate at all, he directly put away Anissa and summoned the Firmament King. The Firmament King was immune to poison, and its progress bar had increased rapidly after eating the Purple Viper. Because the Blue Viper¡¯s level was much higher than the Purple Viper¡¯s, the effect should not be bad. This was a good opportunity, Ye Fan smiled and ordered. ¡°Let¡¯s end this quickly.¡± The Firmament King roared and emitted a powerful dragon breath and pressure. Everyone was stunned as they stared fixedly at the battle between the Firmament King and the Blue Viper. Anissa didn¡¯t force herself. Instead, she retreated obediently. The Firmament King replaced her. The Firmament King and the Blue Viper looked at each other and attacked. The two of them were about to fight at any moment. Xiao Xiao also told his pets to retreat to the side. He knew that Ye Fan was stronger than him. ¡°That monster will activate its invisibility skill when attacking. Be careful of its sneak attack!¡± Xiao Xiao did not forget to remind him. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the Blue Viper that had been crawling over quickly disappeared in front of everyone in the next moment. The Firmament King was stunned. Then, it vigilantly listened carefully to the surroundings. Even if the snake was invisible, there would still be sound. The sound would not disappear with the invisibility skill. Everyone quietened down, worried that the Blue Viper would launch a sneak attack at an unexpected place. Xiao Xiao was also sweating, because at this moment, he could only place his hopes on Ye Fan. His three pets were all poisoned. If Ye Fan defeated the Blue Viper, the antidote would drop. Suddenly, a blue light flashed and the Blue Viper appeared behind the Firmament King. Its tail suddenly swung over and hit the Firmament King directly. The Firmament King was forced back a few steps by the huge force, but his reaction was very fast. He immediately attacked the Blue Viper that had appeared. A violent wind blew in the air. The Firmament King raised its sharp claws and swung them over. The Blue Viper immediately wanted to hide to dodge, but it was too late. It was instantly slapped to the ground by the sharp claws. The Blue Viper spat out a mouthful of blood and let out an angry howl. Just as the Firmament King was about to attack again, the other party actually took the opportunity to become invisible. Looking at the Blue Viper that disappeared on the spot, Ye Fan was expressionless and directly summoned Rose. ¡°Master, are you fighting again? Eh? Where¡¯s Big Dragon¡¯s opponent?¡± Rose had just come out and did not understand the situation. Ye Fan glanced at Rose and calmly explained, ¡°The opponent is a Rank-7 Blue Viper. It¡¯s invisible. Use your Stars skill to launch a large-scale attack.¡± ¡°Rank-7 Blue Viper? But Master, my Stars skill is very useless against such a high-level monster!¡± Rose said. But even so, she immediately did as she was told. After using the skill, energy rain began to fall to the ground, but there was only one place that was not covered in raindrops. Ye Fan looked in that direction, and then the Firmament King immediately understood. It launched a storm attack in that direction, then suddenly ran in that direction, directly knocking the Blue Viper to the ground. Everyone was dumbfounded. Another Rank-7 pet had appeared. Moreover, this pet was as beautiful and small as an elf. They had long heard that Ye Fan¡¯s pets were all outstanding. The three of them today were indeed an eye-opener. Not only was there a dragon with a pure bloodline, but there were also a vampire with off-the-charts combat strength and a mysterious and cute elf. At this moment, the Blue Viper was beaten up by the Firmament King. The Blue Viper¡¯s venom could only be used about three times a day. Now that the fatal attacks were gone and its invisibility skill was broken, it could only move away. However, every time it broke free from the Firmament King¡¯s sharp claws, it would be knocked down by the Firmament King¡¯s storm skill before it could retreat far. It could only be beaten repeatedly. At this moment, the Frost Tyrannosaurus¡¯s body changed. It seemed to be abnormally hot and was groaning in pain as if it was about to explode. Xiao Xiao quickly noticed this and immediately went forward to check its injuries. He found that the poison had taken effect. Not long after, the pet would die. The process of resurrection took a month. If the pet died here, it meant that they could not advance anymore. Even if they retreated, they would not be able to protect themselves. Apart from the three poisoned pets, the Hunter Corps would probably be doomed if they wanted to leave the volcano safely. Xiao Xiao realized this and looked worried. The other members of the Hunter Corps were also anxious. They looked at the Blue Viper. Although it had been beaten up, it could probably protect itself with its snake scales. However, Xiao Xiao¡¯s pet didn¡¯t have time. From the corner of his eye, Ye Fan saw that everyone was surrounding Xiao Xiao worriedly. Ye Fan turned to look at the Firmament King and said indifferently, ¡°Stop playing, kill it!¡± Everyone was suddenly stunned. They turned to look at the battle and saw that after the Firmament King received the order, it lost its interest. It directly pressed down on the Blue Viper and opened its mouth to reveal incomparably sharp teeth, biting the Blue Viper¡¯s neck. ¡°Wait!¡± Xiao Xiao seemed to want to say something, but before he could say anything, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The Firmament King was eating the Blue Viper? And it was eating it happily as if it was eating spicy sticks? After a full meal, all kinds of materials kept dropping, including antidotes. Xiao Wu finally smiled when she saw the antidote and ran over to look at Ye Fan. ¡°Hurry up and get rid of the poison.¡± Ye Fan smiled. Xiao Wu took the antidote gratefully and gave it to Xiao Xiao¡¯s pets. They were immediately cured and their combat strength miraculously recovered by more than half. ¡°Thank you, Ye Fan. I was just about to say that the Blue Viper¡¯s blood is also poisonous. Why does your pet seem to have become stronger instead of being poisoned after eating it?¡± Ye Fan paused. Actually, eating this thing would double its growth, but he could not tell Xiao Xiao this. He could only say: ¡°Last time, it accidentally ate a Purple Viper and coincidentally became immune to poison. Moreover, it seems to like eating such snakes.¡± Hearing that, everyone in the Hunter Corps opened their mouths wide. Eating a venomous snake gave the pet immunity to poison by chance? Why wasn¡¯t there such information on the Internet? However, even if they knew, they didn¡¯t dare to try it easily. Their pets might be poisoned to death. Then, Ye Fan recalled Rose and the Firmament King and continued to let Anissa protect him. After all, he had to continue exploring the depths. He had to have as few pets as possible around him to prevent so many high-level pets from exposing his whereabouts and attracting unnecessary monsters. Zhang Xiong¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at the materials that dropped. The others also looked at Ye Fan eagerly, Ye Fan smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I want among these materials. If you want it, take it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ye Fan! You are too kind!¡± Zhang Xiong said gratefully. Chapter 217 - 217 Entrance to the Depths 217 Entrance to the Depths They were all packing up their materials, only Ye Fan was in a daze as he looked at the path in front of him. There was only one path here, but they had just walked this path to the entrance of the volcano. If they took this path, they would be back to the beginning, so where was the path to the depths? Just as he was in a daze, a blue vortex suddenly appeared behind Ye Fan. Nothing could be seen in the vortex, the others immediately noticed the vortex and surrounded it. ¡°This should be the entrance to the depths.¡± Ye Fan said. Xiao Xiao was a little hesitant. Seeing that his teammates¡¯ pets were basically all injured, and Rank-7 monsters had appeared in the periphery, it was probably possible that Rank-8 monsters had appeared in the depths. Then, this was different from the information they had gathered in advance. If they continued forward, they would be courting death. ¡°So, the Blue Viper just now should be guarding the entrance,¡± Xiao Xiao analyzed. Ye Fan nodded in agreement. He knew that it was best for Xiao Xiao¡¯s hunting group to stop as their strength only reached this level. He did not know what kind of danger was on the other side of the vortex. It was naturally not a big problem for him, but the hunting group had suffered 40% damage along the way. If they entered, they would probably encounter some danger and find it difficult to escape. Ye Fan and Xiao Xiao were not the only ones who realized this problem, the rest of the hunters also realized it. ¡°We encountered many Rank-5 and Rank-6 monsters here, and we also encountered two Rank-7 monsters. Doesn¡¯t that mean there are many Rank-7 monsters in the depths?¡± A member said. He knew that his pet was injured, and they didn¡¯t have the strength to enter. ¡°That¡¯s right, Guild Leader. Our mission is to explore the periphery to begin with. Why don¡¯t we stop here and not go in? It must be very dangerous inside.¡± The members retreated one after another. This was because they had originally come to explore the periphery and already found the materials. This way, they could kill two birds with one stone. Moreover, they could update the information on the periphery and gain attention online. It was already very good for them to gain so much from this trip. After thinking for a while, Xiao Xiao was originally a little hesitant, because many adventurers had already come to the periphery, but no one had been to the depths. He really wanted to see what it looked like inside, and it was said that the materials inside were even rarer than the periphery. Moreover, if they came alone, they might not be strong enough, but with Ye Fan around, he was hoping that they could come out safely. However, his teammates¡¯ strength did not allow him to make the decision on his own. He nodded and planned to retreat, but Ye Fan was only Rank-7. If he insisted on going in, he would probably die. As the leader, he could not ignore the life and death of his teammates. He could only turn around and go back now. After all, he had gained a lot from this trip. Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Fan. ¡°Our mission has been completed. The depths are filled with danger. You have to be careful. We¡¯ll wait for you in the Adventurer¡¯s Hall when we return.¡± At this moment, before Ye Fan could speak, the vortex suddenly began to produce a suction force. This suction force was very strong, instantly sucking Xiao Wu away. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao was about to pull her away, but he was also sucked in by the vortex. Ye Fan could feel a huge energy fluctuation in the vortex, making him unable to move. He was also sucked in by this powerful suction force, and his vision darkened. When Ye Fan opened his eyes again, he was no longer facing a volcano, but an ancient forest that was filled with the air of spring. He looked around and realized that the environment here was worlds apart from the volcano outside. The spring here was like a dream. According to the terrain and temperature of the volcano, how could there be such a huge difference? However, it was no wonder that he had sensed that there seemed to be a barrier sealing off a huge amount of energy in the volcano. Now, it seemed that he was already inside the barrier. ¡°Leader!¡± ¡°Xiao Wu, Zhang Xiong, Ah Qing, Changhe, Luo Yang, why are you here too?¡± Xiao Xiao¡¯s voice sounded. Ye Fan turned around and found that the members of the Green Stone Hunter Group were also swept into the vortex without exception. ¡°Leader, what should we do now? The entrance is gone! Are we unable to get out?¡± Xiao Wu asked worriedly. She had originally planned to leave, but now that the vortex had sucked her in and the entrance had disappeared, she didn¡¯t know what danger was waiting for them. The environment here looked very strange, as if it was a new world. They had never seen such a place on the Internet before, which meant that this was a completely new and unknown place to them. ¡°I didn¡¯t see any information about this place on the Internet. This might be the depths of a volcano, or it might be a new mystic realm. I think the entrance sucked people in and disappeared, it might be because the entrance is not an exit, the exit might be somewhere else.¡± Ye Fan said. Xiao Xiao was stunned. He looked at his teammates who were looking at him eagerly and instantly felt pressured. This was because the energy fluctuation here was very strong, enough to show that it was much more dangerous than the volcano. Everyone looked anxious and worried. They did not know what to do next. The current situation was really not optimistic. But there was no anxiety on Ye Fan¡¯s face, he was calm and looked forward to what he would encounter. It was very likely that an Earth Core Rock would appear in this mystic realm, that would be great. Their surroundings were like a forest, but there were no roads around them. The only road was a bridge ten meters away. The bridge was very narrow, about the width of four or five people, and at the end of it was a cave. ¡°Let¡¯s take it one step at a time. We can only find the exit now. Waiting for death is not a solution. Everyone, don¡¯t get separated. The situation here is unknown. Everyone, be vigilant.¡± After Xiao Xiao calmed down, the first thing he did was to comfort his teammates. He did what a leader should do and made up his mind to bring everyone out safely no matter what. When they went to the wooden bridge, Anissa felt something and immediately became vigilant. At the same time, Ye Fan also discovered the huge thing on the bridge. When everyone saw the huge monster, they were shocked. A mammoth was standing in the middle of the wooden bridge, which was about five to six meters wide and more than ten meters tall. Due to the fact that the mammoth did not emit any aura, they did not notice it at first. ¡°Heavens, it¡¯s a mammoth, a peak Rank-7 monster! What should we do?!¡± Xiao Wu was about to cry. They had just started and they had already encountered such a level of monster. What kind of luck did they have today? They had actually encountered so many Rank-7 monsters in a row. The others¡¯ expressions were not any better. They could only look at their leader, Xiao Xiao, not knowing what to do next. The highest level in the team was only Rank-7, but the monster in front of them was at the peak of Rank-7. Although Ye Fan had just defeated a few Rank-7s, this one was at the peak of Rank-7. Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat it. Chapter 218 - 218 Ending the Battle Quickly 218 Ending the Battle Quickly Ye Fan looked at the system interface. White Mammoth, a peak Rank-7 monster, a strength-type water-type monster. However, unless they had wings, it was impossible for them to cross the bridge. If they went over on their pets, they would be easily noticed. Now, they had to fight. After Ye Fan closed the system interface, he calmly summoned the Inferno Tyrant. ¡°Let¡¯s end this quickly!¡± Ye Fan only said these few words before the Inferno Tyrant activated its skill and threw a fire attack at the mammoth. The mammoth woke up from its sleep with a cry of pain. Before it could react, it took a few more hits. Although the damage to it was not fatal, it still caused obvious external injuries. Immediately after, the mammoth let out a long howl. It swung its nose and spat out a water ball with high damage to attack the Inferno Tyrant. The Inferno Tyrant was immune to the water element, and its fire element was stronger. This was also why Ye Fan summoned the Inferno Tyrant to deal with the mammoth. The mammoth didn¡¯t expect this and seemed a little shocked, but its intelligence wasn¡¯t high. Then, it began to attack the Inferno Tyrant. Endless water balls attacked, and the Inferno Tyrant directly activated its domain, evaporating all the water balls. The Inferno Tyrant rode on the fire horse and attacked the mammoth with the fire spear in its hand. Its speed was incomparably fast. The fire spear was attached with high-level flames that could burn everything. The mammoth¡¯s movements were clumsy and slow, but its power was not small. It used the two huge fangs in front of its nose to meet the attack. The two collided, producing a huge energy wave that shook the surrounding air. Xiao Xiao watched attentively. He didn¡¯t expect Ye Fan¡¯s pet to be so powerful that it could fight against a peak Rank-7 monster. Although the mammoth was slow and clumsy, with the level suppression, no matter how clumsy it was, its combat strength was greater than everyone present. However, Ye Fan¡¯s pet, the Inferno Tyrant, was actually on par with the mammoth. Moreover, Ye Fan had only summoned one pet. Xiao Xiao was so shocked that he was speechless. He looked at Ye Fan, but Ye Fan didn¡¯t look nervous at all, as if he was used to it. If he was the one fighting the mammoth today, could he be as calm as Ye Fan? Did his pet have the strength to fight the mammoth? The Inferno Tyrant¡¯s high damage critical hit was blocked by the mammoth¡¯s water shield a few times. On a closer look, there was a lake under the bridge. It could reasonably use an endless source of water. No wonder the mammoth stayed here. The other party could use the water source, so if they continued to fight, it would be a war of attrition. The Inferno Tyrant would not be in such a good state forever. Now, it could fight the mammoth equally, but if its condition decreased later, the mammoth might take the opportunity to attack. Ye Fan, who had seen through everything, finally spoke. ¡°Inferno Tyrant, use fire to evaporate its water shield.¡± Ye Fan calmly looked at the battle in front of him, his eyes were calm as water as he instructed indifferently. After hearing this, the Inferno Tyrant did as it was told. It directly used the flames to evaporate the water shield. At the same time, it pulled the mammoth into a close combat battle. The mammoth¡¯s movements were slow and could not keep up. Not long after, it was injured. However, the mammoth could still draw water from the lake to form an incomparably strong protective barrier, which surrounded the Inferno Tyrant and froze it into ice. The Inferno Tyrant was trapped in the ice barrier. The ice barrier was very thick, and the Inferno Tyrant only caused a few cracks after slashing it many times. It would probably take a while for it to come out. ¡°What¡¯s going on!¡± ¡°How could this be?! This is bad!¡± ¡°Ye Fan, be careful!¡± Xiao Wu and the group members looked at Ye Fan worriedly. At this moment, they understood why the mammoth was here. It turned out that it had such a huge advantage. Sure enough, the mammoth turned around and attacked Ye Fan, roaring arrogantly. As for Ye Fan, he did not hesitate and directly summoned the fox and Anissa. Anissa directly blocked the attack and collected the blood on the mammoth to condense into a sword. Then, she spread her blood wings and rushed towards the mammoth. How dare it try to hurt her master? Damn it! Anissa¡¯s attack directly knocked the mammoth back a few meters. Moreover, half of its sharp tusks were broken and were sizzling with blood. Anissa stretched out her palm and began to absorb the blood in front of the mammoth. It directly turned into a blood ball that gathered in her palm and grew larger and larger. The mammoth mammoth sensed that this opponent was not easy to deal with, especially the blood ball in her palm. It immediately activated the water shield to protect its body. However, it realized that it could not draw the water out of the lake. It looked down and realized that the surface of the lake had been sealed by a talisman. Only Xiao Xiao noticed this because the fox did not join the battle. Instead, it first used a talisman to seal the lake and cut off the mammoth¡¯s water resources. At this moment, the Inferno Tyrant had already shattered the water barrier and worked with Anissa to deal with the mammoth. The blood ball in Anissa¡¯s hand was suddenly shot out, directly attacking the mammoth¡¯s head. At this moment, the fox used a charm rope around the mammoth to firmly immobilize its limbs, making it unable to move. It could only watch as the blood ball attacked it. This attack made the mammoth fall to the ground. Seeing that it wanted to get up, the fox smiled charmingly and formed a seal with both hands to draw a talisman. It clamped two fingers and sent it towards the mammoth. The weight of the talisman was like a huge mountain, pressing down on the mammoth, preventing it from getting up. The Inferno Tyrant cut off the other fang of the mammoth. The mammoth let out a long howl of grief. Before it could finish howling, it was hit by another blood ball from Anissa. This time, it directly hit its eye. The mammoth¡¯s eyeball shattered and it struggled in extreme pain. ¡°Alright, stop playing, kill it directly.¡± Ye Fan spoke at this time. It could be seen that these pets were very protective of their masters. Ye Fan had not planned to outnumber his enemy with his pets. However, the mammoth despicably used water as its power and attacked the Inferno Tyrant endlessly. After restraining the Inferno Tyrant, it shamelessly attacked Ye Fan. Therefore, after Anissa and the fox came out, they ruthlessly beat up the mammoth and gave it a taste of its own medicine. They wanted it to have a taste of being attacked while being unable to move. Chapter 222 - 222 Blue-Striped Leopard (2) 222 Blue-Striped Leopard (2) On the other side, Xiao Xiao, who was in a bitter battle, planned to ask Ye Fan for help. Unexpectedly, Ye Fan had already found the Leopard King and the Leopard King was on par with Ye Fan¡¯s pets. Anissa and the Inferno Tyrant fought more than thirty Blue-Striped Leopards as if they were chopping cabbages. The Flower Sprite sitting on Ye Fan¡¯s shoulder only moved its fingers to increase the friends¡¯ strength and weaken the Blue-Striped Leopards. The weakened Blue-Striped Leopards supported the battle as they retreated. It was completely one-sided by Ye Fan. Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, but the battle on his side was not optimistic. Several pets in the team were injured, and the Blue-Striped Leopard had barely been killed. He felt that it was about to reach his limit. If he could not hold on any longer, Ye Fan¡¯s side would definitely be affected. In terms of pressure, Ye Fan had one more leopard king than them. How could they fall so quickly? ¡°Xiao Wu, let the phoenix attack the Blue-Striped Leopard at the back. Zhang Xiong, guard the line of defense and don¡¯t let the Blue-Striped Leopard reach Ye Fan.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The two of them agreed almost at the same time. The bridge was not wide, only the width of five or six people. Therefore, when Ye Fan handed his back to them, they had to guard it well. Moreover, the five of them from the Hunter Group were in charge of the back. If Ye Fan dealt with the Blue-Striped Leopards alone, wouldn¡¯t it be embarrassing if the Hunter Group couldn¡¯t defend its line? Xiao Xiao let the Frost Tyrannosaurus continue to attack. The Frost Tyrannosaurus and the Phoenix Bird cooperated very well, but the Blue-Striped Leopard¡¯s attack was also very fast. They could only hold on bitterly, hoping that Ye Fan could quickly deal with the Leopard King. Chapter 220: They Will All Die Here The Firmament King waved its sharp claws at the Leopard King. The Leopard King stepped forward to meet the attack without fear. This was a battle between a dragon and a leopard, and there was a level difference between them. It was obvious that the chances of winning were not high. Seeing Ye Fan¡¯s anxious situation, Xiao Xiao was a little worried. Even if Ye Fan had more Rank-7 pets, there was a level between Rank-7 and Rank-8. The gap between Rank-7 and Rank-8 was quite large. The chances of winning were probably very low! Once Ye Fan lost, all of them would die here. Everyone present knew this, but they still had placed all their hopes on Ye Fan. One of the Blue-Striped Leopards fell, and another followed. Anissa kept absorbing blood and using it repeatedly. No matter how many Blue-Striped Leopards there were, they could not withstand it. With the help of the Inferno Tyrant, the two of them quickly dealt with more than half of the leopards. ¡°Inferno Tyrant, activate your domain and burn it with flames!!¡± Ye Fan had just given the order when the Inferno Tyrant activated its Raging Fire Domain, burning the leopards with scorching flames. However, the Blue-Striped Leopards didn¡¯t retreat at all. This was because the Leopard King was here. Without his orders, no one could retreat. ¡°Seriously, why are there so many ferocious leopards? They scared me!¡± The Flower Sprite said sweetly, buffing its teammates as it spoke. ¡°Alright, you have to get used to this kind of battle. Otherwise, how can you level up?¡± Ye Fan consoled. This time, no matter how afraid the Flower Sprite was, it wanted to grit its teeth and fight alongside its companions. The Flower Sprite only had one AoE attack skill, which was not very effective against people of the same level. Therefore, it did not use it. It directly spent all of its energy on buffing its teammates and weakening the enemy¡¯s combat strength. The Leopard King was weakened by a few levels, but it still had a lot of explosive power. It swung its palm and hit the Firmament King¡¯s dragon scales. The Firmament King trembled slightly before counterattacking angrily. The Leopard King did not have armor to protect itself, and there were claw marks on its body that kept bleeding. At the same time, the Leopard King was even angrier after being injured. It roared and pounced at the Firmament King, engaged in a battle again. Anissa nodded. She spread her wings and flew into the sky. She used her magic light to fuse with the blood ball, forming a bow. She aimed at the leopard king and shot an arrow. The fox used a talisman to lock the leopard king¡¯s movements. Anissa took the opportunity to absorb the leopard king¡¯s blood. The leopard king felt its legs go limp and fell to the ground, letting out a roar. At this moment, the Firmament King took the opportunity to attack the Leopard King. It directly used light waves to attack. A series of attacks made the Leopard King fall to the ground and breathe violently. No matter how it struggled, it could not stand up. At this moment, the Leopard King suddenly roared and stared in a certain direction. A response roar came from somewhere. It seemed to be from among the leopards, but no one knew which leopard it was. ¡°Kill it.¡± Ye Fan ordered coldly. The Firmament King¡¯s heaviest attack directly hit the Leopard King¡¯s head. The Leopard King struggled a few times before stopping. Next, a system announcement appeared in Ye Fan¡¯s mind: ¡°Congratulations, you have killed a Rank-8 leopard king. Reward¡­¡± After the leopard king was killed, the leopards lost their leader. They wailed endlessly and swarmed forward angrily. At this moment, more than half of the crazy leopards were killed by the Inferno Tyrant, and more than half were slapped to death by the Firmament King. The leopards near the entrance of the cave on Ye Fan¡¯s side were all killed. This time, the Earth Core Rock really dropped after the leopard king died. Ye Fan happily put away the Earth Core Rock and looked at the Firmament King¡¯s growth. It had already reached 80%. Moreover, the growth of his pets had increased by varying degrees, but it had only increased by more than 10%. That was not bad. On the other side, Xiao Xiao and the others were struggling to deal with it. Most of the pets were injured to varying degrees. Zhang Xiong¡¯s Rank-7 pet had been killed, and the other members¡¯ pets had suffered heavy casualties. ¡°Firmament King, go help.¡± Ye Fan said. The Firmament King quickly attacked and knocked down a few Blue-Striped Leopards. Then, it spat out light waves that swept across the surroundings. The Blue-Striped Leopards took a few steps back and quickly stared at them with blue lights in their eyes, determined to fight to the death. ¡°I¡¯ll fulfill your wish!¡± Ye Fan smiled lightly. Anissa jumped forward and flew into the air, absorbing the blood on the scene, forming a huge ball of blood. The fox injected the power of the charm into it, and the ball of blood instantly smashed into the leopards. The leopards that were hit were instantly pierced through the heart by the blood. The others who were not hit had their heads bitten off by the Firmament King before they could catch their breath. The Blue-Striped Leopards were all flustered. They were already leaderless, and now, there were only a few companions left. They roared and communicated something. Seeing that the Firmament King¡¯s growth was the highest among the pets, Ye Fan had an idea. Killing Rank-7 monsters could increase its growth the most. There were less than thirty Blue-Striped Leopards left. It was better to let the Firmament King enjoy the experience alone. After all, he had already obtained the Earth Core Rock. As long as its growth was maxed out, the Firmament King would soon be able to evolve. Ye Fan willed, the fox girl received the order, a talisman appeared between her slender fingers. She smiled evilly, using the talisman to seal off the retreat path of the blue-striped leopard, she then retreated to the side, planning to watch the battle. Immediately after, the Inferno Tyrant covered the surroundings of the bridge in flames. The Blue-Striped Leopards had nowhere to escape, they could only brace itself and fight, staring at Ye Fan. ¡°Firmament King, kill them all.¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The Firmament King agreed and directly shot out energy waves at the Blue-Striped Leopards. Then, it slapped them with its claws, one with each palm. Not long after, there was only one Blue-Striped Leopard left. It looked at the people in front alone and helplessly, its fierce gaze not decreasing at all. Just as he was about to attack, the Blue-Striped Leopard suddenly changed its direction and attacked Xiao Wu. Almost before anyone could react, Xiao Wu was thrown to the ground. Her shoulder was bitten by the Blue-Striped Leopard, and a large amount of blood flowed out. ¡°Xiao Wu!¡± ¡°Xiao Wu!¡± Ye Fan and Xiao Xiao shouted at the same time. Xiao Xiao angrily ordered the Frost Tyrannosaurus to attack the Blue-Striped Leopard. The Frost Tyrannosaurus pounced on the Blue-Striped Leopard and knocked it down. The Firmament King quickly pressed it down and bit it. However, Xiao Wu fainted. Xiao Xiao called Xiao Wu¡¯s name sadly. The others came forward to check on her, afraid that something would happen to her. Chapter 223 - 223 They Will All Die Here 223 They Will All Die Here The Firmament King waved its sharp claws at the Leopard King. The Leopard King stepped forward to meet the attack without fear. This was a battle between a dragon and a leopard, and there was a level difference between them. Once Ye Fan lost, all of them would die here. Everyone present knew this, but they still had placed all their hopes on Ye Fan. One of the Blue-Striped Leopards fell, and another followed. Anissa kept absorbing blood and using it repeatedly. No matter how many Blue-Striped Leopards there were, they could not withstand it. With the help of the Inferno Tyrant, the two of them quickly dealt with more than half of the leopards. ¡°Inferno Tyrant, activate your domain and burn it with flames!!¡± Ye Fan had just given the order when the Inferno Tyrant activated its Raging Fire Domain, burning the leopards with scorching flames. However, the Blue-Striped Leopards didn¡¯t retreat at all. This was because the Leopard King was here. Without his orders, no one could retreat. ¡°Seriously, why are there so many ferocious leopards? They scared me!¡± The Flower Sprite said sweetly, buffing its teammates as it spoke. ¡°Alright, you have to get used to this kind of battle. Otherwise, how can you level up?¡± Ye Fan consoled. This time, no matter how afraid the Flower Sprite was, it wanted to grit its teeth and fight alongside its companions. The Flower Sprite only had one AoE attack skill, which was not very effective against people of the same level. Therefore, it did not use it. It directly spent all of its energy on buffing its teammates and weakening the enemy¡¯s combat strength. The Leopard King was weakened by a few levels, but it still had a lot of explosive power. It swung its palm and hit the Firmament King¡¯s dragon scales. The Firmament King trembled slightly before counterattacking angrily. The Leopard King did not have armor to protect itself, and there were claw marks on its body that kept bleeding. At the same time, the Leopard King was even angrier after being injured. It roared and pounced at the Firmament King, engaged in a battle again. ¡°Anissa, help the Firmament King. Leave this to the Inferno Tyrant and the fox.¡± Anissa nodded. She spread her wings and flew into the sky. She used her magic light to fuse with the blood ball, forming a bow. She aimed at the leopard king and shot an arrow. At this moment, a leopard blocked it and was shot through by the blood sword. Then, in order to protect the leopard king, the leopards surrounded it and used their bodies as shields. The others pounced forward to kill it. The fox used a talisman to lock the leopard king¡¯s movements. Anissa took the opportunity to absorb the leopard king¡¯s blood. The leopard king felt its legs go limp and fell to the ground, letting out a roar. At this moment, the Firmament King took the opportunity to attack the Leopard King. It directly used light waves to attack. A series of attacks made the Leopard King fall to the ground and breathe violently. No matter how it struggled, it could not stand up. At this moment, the Leopard King suddenly roared and stared in a certain direction. A response roar came from somewhere. It seemed to be from among the leopards, but no one knew which leopard it was. ¡°Kill it.¡± Ye Fan ordered coldly. The Firmament King¡¯s heaviest attack directly hit the Leopard King¡¯s head. The Leopard King struggled a few times before stopping. After the leopard king was killed, the leopards lost their leader. They wailed endlessly and swarmed forward angrily. At this moment, more than half of the crazy leopards were killed by the Inferno Tyrant, and more than half were slapped to death by the Firmament King. The leopards near the entrance of the cave on Ye Fan¡¯s side were all killed. Moreover, the growth of his pets had increased by varying degrees, but it had only increased by more than 10%. That was not bad. On the other side, Xiao Xiao and the others were struggling to deal with it. Most of the pets were injured to varying degrees. Zhang Xiong¡¯s Rank-7 pet had been killed, and the other members¡¯ pets had suffered heavy casualties. ¡°Firmament King, go help.¡± Ye Fan said. The Firmament King quickly attacked and knocked down a few Blue-Striped Leopards. Then, it spat out light waves that swept across the surroundings. The Blue-Striped Leopards took a few steps back and quickly stared at them with blue lights in their eyes, determined to fight to the death. ¡°I¡¯ll fulfill your wish!¡± Ye Fan smiled lightly. Anissa jumped forward and flew into the air, absorbing the blood on the scene, forming a huge ball of blood. The fox injected the power of the charm into it, and the ball of blood instantly smashed into the leopards. The leopards that were hit were instantly pierced through the heart by the blood. The others who were not hit had their heads bitten off by the Firmament King before they could catch their breath. The Blue-Striped Leopards were all flustered. They were already leaderless, and now, there were only a few companions left. They roared and communicated something. Seeing that the Firmament King¡¯s growth was the highest among the pets, Ye Fan had an idea. Killing Rank-7 monsters could increase its growth the most. There were less than thirty Blue-Striped Leopards left. It was better to let the Firmament King enjoy the experience alone. After all, he had already obtained the Earth Core Rock. As long as its growth was maxed out, the Firmament King would soon be able to evolve. Ye Fan willed, the fox girl received the order, a talisman appeared between her slender fingers. She smiled evilly, using the talisman to seal off the retreat path of the blue-striped leopard, she then retreated to the side, planning to watch the battle. Immediately after, the Inferno Tyrant covered the surroundings of the bridge in flames. The Blue-Striped Leopards had nowhere to escape, they could only brace itself and fight, staring at Ye Fan. Ye Fan smiled, the things in front of him were not leopards, but growth! ¡°Firmament King, kill them all.¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The Firmament King agreed and directly shot out energy waves at the Blue-Striped Leopards. Then, it slapped them with its claws, one with each palm. Not long after, there was only one Blue-Striped Leopard left. It looked at the people in front alone and helplessly, its fierce gaze not decreasing at all. Just as he was about to attack, the Blue-Striped Leopard suddenly changed its direction and attacked Xiao Wu. Almost before anyone could react, Xiao Wu was thrown to the ground. Her shoulder was bitten by the Blue-Striped Leopard, and a large amount of blood flowed out. ¡°Xiao Wu!¡± ¡°Xiao Wu!¡± Ye Fan and Xiao Xiao shouted at the same time. Xiao Xiao angrily ordered the Frost Tyrannosaurus to attack the Blue-Striped Leopard. The Frost Tyrannosaurus pounced on the Blue-Striped Leopard and knocked it down. The Firmament King quickly pressed it down and bit it. Chapter 224 - 224 Blood Red Egg 224 Blood Red Egg Since just now, the leopard king had been looking at Xiao Xiao from time to time. Ye Fan didn¡¯t know what it was looking at, but with Ye Fan¡¯s pet blocking it, it couldn¡¯t do anything. It was not until this Blue-Striped Leopard attacked Xiao Wu with all its might that Ye Fan finally realized that something was wrong. There was definitely something wrong with Xiao Wu! Ye Fan frowned and asked Anissa to heal Xiao Wu¡¯s wound. He walked forward to check on Xiao Wu¡¯s injuries and found that she was only unconscious. There was nothing wrong with her. ¡°Xiao Wu is only injured and fainted, it¡¯s not a big deal. Let¡¯s rest for a while.¡± Ye Fan said. Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Wu and realized that something was wrong. Why were all the monsters attacking Xiao Wu? What had Xiao Wu done? But Xiao Wu was still unconscious. Taking out a recovery pill and water from his bag, Ye Fan handed them to Xiao Xiao. ¡°Feed her. This pill can recover her blood energy, but it can¡¯t heal her wounds. When she wakes up, we have to get out as soon as possible.¡± ¡°The rest of you, rest here for five minutes. After five minutes, we¡¯ll leave the cave and look for an exit.¡± After resting for five minutes, Xiao Wu woke up. She had recovered a little after eating the pills. Xiao Xiao had already bandaged her wound. Xiao Wu was very excited to find that she was still alive. She thought that she was dead for sure. As the team leader, Xiao Xiao carefully carried Xiao Wu on her back. Just as everyone was about to leave, Ye Fan suddenly stopped them and stared at Xiao Wu. ¡°Xiao Wu, tell us the truth. Did you take something from here, or have you been here before?¡± Ye Fan¡¯s words made everyone pause and look at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu shook her head anxiously and looked at Xiao Xiao for help, but Xiao Xiao fell silent. He felt that Ye Fan¡¯s premonition was right. Xiao Wu must have done something, or those things would not have attacked her. The targets of those monsters were too obvious. There were a few times when monsters wanted to attack Xiao Wu. Something was indeed wrong. Coincidentally, Ye Fan had asked this question. Xiao Xiao also wanted to know the answer, so everyone looked at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu got off Xiao Xiao¡¯s back and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly reached into her backpack and took out a blood-red egg with fire-like patterns on it. The egg even emitted a red light from time to time. It was about the size of a palm. Everyone was shocked. When did Xiao Wu get this thing? What was it? Did the monsters attack it because they knew that Xiao Wu had it? At this moment, Xiao Wu explained anxiously, ¡°No, I picked it up by chance. I didn¡¯t know that there was something wrong with this egg. I just thought it was strange and I had never seen it before. I wanted to take it back and study it.¡± Everyone was speechless again. What was this place? In the depths of the volcanic mountain range, there were many things that were not recorded. It was obvious how dangerous it would be to take something away casually. Moreover, the Rank-7 monsters here were all very powerful. They could die if they were not careful. However, it was obvious that no one knew the origin of this egg. They looked at the blood-red egg carefully and had no clue. They could not remember where it was recorded. They had never seen any information about this egg before coming. Only Ye Fan did not say anything. Everyone thought that he was stunned, but in fact, he was summoning the system in his mind and looking at the information on the interface. Demonic Flame Bird Egg: Demonic Flame Bird, Peak Rank-8. It lays an egg every hundred years. During the incubation period, the Demonic Flame Bird has a violent temper. Ye Fan asked awkwardly: ¡°When did you pick up this egg?¡± ¡°At the entrance.¡± The egg of a peak Rank-8 Demonic Flame Bird was taken away by Xiao Wu just like that. Ye Fan was silently impressed. Even he might not do such a risky thing. Xiao Wu did not even blink. She did not even know what it was and simply took it away because she found it interesting. No wonder those monsters attacked Xiao Wu. It turned out that Xiao Wu had the aura of the Demonic Flame Bird. When the Demonic Flame Bird hatched its eggs, it was extremely irritable and would attack any monster that approached. As for the monsters, they attacked Xiao Wu because they felt that the aura of the Demonic Flame Bird was very threatening. This threat was greater than that of Ye Fan and the others, so the monsters were so concerned and wanted to attack Xiao Wu even at the cost of their lives. ¡°This is the egg of a peak Rank-8 Demonic Flame Bird. It produces one egg every hundred years. The Demonic Flame Bird has a violent temper and its aura is very powerful. This egg has the aura of the Demonic Flame Bird, so those demons will be even more violent when they see you.¡± Ye Fan explained. Demonic Flame Bird? Peak Rank-8!! When Xiao Xiao heard this, he was shocked. He had never expected that Xiao Wu would pick up such a bomb and carry it around. Zhang Xiong and the others were furious and afraid. ¡°The truth is out now. Xiao Wu, you have good taste. You even dared to take the egg of a peak Rank-8 Demonic Flame Bird!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiao Wu. I was wondering why all the monsters attacked you and why we kept encountering high-level monsters along the way. It turns out that you have a bomb on you.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve made us suffer!¡± Everyone complained. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Besides, this thing is so dangerous. Doesn¡¯t it mean that it¡¯s extremely precious?!¡± ¡°Alright, stop arguing.¡± Xiao Xiao interrupted everyone¡¯s discussion. He frowned as he looked at the Demonic Flame Bird egg, then turned to look at Ye Fan. ¡°What should we do now? Leave the egg here and let¡¯s go out?¡± ¡°Throwing this bomb is the best solution, but Xiao Wu brought this egg all the way here, I¡¯m afraid her aura has already been left on the way. The Demonic Flame Bird has a good sense of smell, I think it will find us soon. It¡¯s useless to throw it away now.¡± Ye Fan analyzed seriously. ¡°F*ck¡­ Then what should we do? Are we waiting for death here?¡± Zhang Xiong said angrily. It was impossible to wait for death, Ye Fan quickly thought of a solution. ¡°Put the bird egg in the cave. We¡¯ll leave the cave immediately and find an exit as soon as possible.¡± This was the best solution, but the only problem was that no one knew where the exit was. ¡°No! Even the association has never recorded Rank-8 Demonic Flame Birds. We¡¯ve never heard of them. How do you know? Besides, doesn¡¯t this mean that this egg is precious? It would be a pity to lose it!¡± Xiao Wu held the egg and refused to let go. Ye Fan was speechless, the others were also dumbfounded. Was this woman crazy?! She dared to carry the egg of a Rank-8 monster around? ¡°Then when the Demonic Flame Bird comes, everyone will die with you.¡± Xiao Xiao, who had been silent just now, suddenly said in a serious tone. His words were not unreasonable. If they did not throw away this hot potato, they would be in danger at any time. The other party was at the peak of Rank-8. Even if they joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the monster. Even if Ye Fan could defeat the Rank-8 Blue-Striped Leopard King, their combat strength had been severely exhausted. If another one came, they would not have any chance of winning. They would all die here. ¡°Xiao Wu, stop fooling around. Put down the egg. It¡¯s more important to get out now.¡± Xiao Xiao¡¯s tone was serious, but he didn¡¯t blame Xiao Wu. He just hoped that Xiao Wu would know her priorities. Chapter 225 - 225 The Demonic Flame Bird Is Here 225 The Demonic Flame Bird Is Here Everyone looked at Xiao Wu solemnly. Xiao Wu finally hesitated. She knew that if she continued to carry the egg with her, she would definitely be in danger, and she didn¡¯t know where the exit was. For the safety of her team members, she finally decided to throw the egg here. When the time came, as long as the Demonic Flame Bird found its egg according to the aura, it might not look for them. ¡°Alright then.¡± Xiao Wu put down the blood-colored egg, turned around, and walked out of the cave with the team. Outside the cave, as far as the eye could see, there was an endless plain. The plain was filled with green grass. There were no flowers or signs of life. He could not see the end of it at a glance, it seemed like he could only go to the sky to see what kind of plain this was. Thinking of this, Ye Fan sat on the Firmament King and flew into the sky to investigate the terrain. He was surrounded by plains. After flying for a hundred meters, he realized that there was fog around him that he could not see clearly. He could only see the plains, but there was no doubt that the plains were huge. ¡°Which direction to go is still a problem.¡± Ye Fan touched his chin, he felt that there were no signs of monsters here. No matter what, there should be low-level creatures. The Firmament King did not feel anything and flew calmly until Ye Fan patted its head and gestured for it to land. After Ye Fan landed, he briefly described the terrain. ¡°There is a fog barrier around, but I think this might be the furthest point. Logically speaking, the exit should appear here, but there is nothing here except for large rocks.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very strange. This plain is abundant, but there are no signs of living creatures at all. It¡¯s very like an illusion.¡± Xiao Xiao felt the same way and felt that this place was very strange. ¡°Let¡¯s look around. Maybe we missed something,¡± Xiao Wu said. The others spread out to find the exit. Ye Fan stayed where he was and opened the Firmament King¡¯s system interface. He had the upgrade materials now, but the growth was still a little lacking. The growth was already close to 90%, he was still one digit away from maxing out. Anissa and the Inferno Tyrant¡¯s growth had also reached 40 to 50%, Fox 30%, and Flower Sprite 10%. As expected, the Flower Sprite¡¯s growth was the slowest, but it was expected. Along the way, the Rank-7 monsters increased their growth very fast. This was much faster than killing some inconspicuous low-level monsters in the wilderness. Unfortunately, the Firmament King¡¯s growth had not been maxed out. If it could max up, with all the materials, it could directly evolve. ¡°Oh no! Look what that is!¡± Zhang Xiong suddenly shouted. They all looked at the sky, Ye Fan also looked up, a bird emitting golden light like a phoenix with a few extremely long feathers on its back was flying towards them. This bird looked very ferocious. Its sharp beak could peck through everything, and it emitted a golden light. It was estimated to be seven to eight meters tall and more than ten meters long. Its aura was also very strong and gave off a powerful pressure. The surrounding pets instantly became vigilant, especially Anissa. She felt that something was wrong. After sensing the other party¡¯s aura, she immediately stood in front of Ye Fan. Ye Fan felt that it was very familiar, he suddenly realized something. Wasn¡¯t this the Demonic Flame Bird that appeared on the system interface!! The situation instantly turned bad. Xiao Xiao gathered everyone together, afraid that anyone would be attacked by the Demonic Flame Bird if left alone. Seeing the Demonic Flame Bird flying towards them, their pets surrounded them and protected them. However, their pets had suffered heavy losses and were unable to deal with peak Rank-8 monsters. It was simply catastrophic for them. While they were panicking, Ye Fan¡¯s expression did not change. The Demonic Flame Bird had flown over from the cave and he guessed that it was here to take revenge. It did not even care about the egg, could it be that it wanted to attack the person who stole the egg first? Indeed, given the level of the Demonic Flame Bird, it could kill several low-level pets with one strike. That was why the Hunter Group was so nervous. They didn¡¯t have much combat strength left. But to Ye Fan, this was a good opportunity to increase his pet¡¯s growth to the maximum. Just now, he felt that it was a pity that the Firmament King¡¯s growth had not reached the maximum. ¡°Ye Fan, don¡¯t be alone, be careful of being attacked!¡± Xiao Xiao reminded. As soon as he finished speaking, the Demonic Flame Bird let out a long cry and spat out fireballs to attack them. The Frost Tyrannosaurus went forward and used its ice shield to block it, only to turn into ashes. Everyone was dumbfounded. Killing a Rank-7 pet in one strike? This Demonic Flame Bird was too powerful. They were doomed. Everyone was panicking, but they didn¡¯t know what to do next. Xiao Xiao was angry and heartbroken. She had already lost a Rank-7 pet just now, and now she had lost another. However, she could imagine that the other pets were no match for the Demonic Flame Bird. The pets were panicking, but they had no choice but to fight. In order to protect the Beast Tamers, they would stand at the front even if they died. Seeing that the Demonic Flame Bird was about to attack again after circling in front of them, Ye Fan immediately asked the Firmament King to stop it. The Firmament King blocked the Demonic Flame Bird¡¯s attack. When the Demonic Flame hit the dragon, it was knocked back a few meters. It had the platinum dragon scale armor and was not injured, but a few layers of defense on its dragon scales were broken. Seeing that the Firmament King was not injured, everyone was extremely shocked. The other party was a Rank-8, but the Firmament King could actually withstand its attack! Immediately after, the fox used a talisman to activate a protective shield to protect everyone present. Anissa immediately spread her blood wings and dealt with the Demonic Flame Bird with the Firmament King. ¡°The Demonic Flame Bird¡¯s aggressiveness must be for revenge. Xiao Wu, you shouldn¡¯t have taken anything,¡± Zhang Xiong said in a blaming tone. Xiao Wu was so scared that she was about to cry. She apologized as she choked. If she knew that it was a peak Rank-8 egg, she wouldn¡¯t have dared to take it. After the Firmament King and Anissa flew into the air, they fought the Demonic Flame Bird two against one. Strong winds blew in the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The Demonic Flame Bird continuously spat out demonic fireballs. Anissa held the blood sword and quickly rushed forward, directly slashing down. ¡°Firmament King, sweep with flames!¡± Ye Fan instructed. The Firmament King suddenly flapped its wings and triggered a whirlwind. The fox held three Assimilation Incantations. The charms ignited with fox flames and flew into the whirlwind. The whirlwind was enhanced by magic power, forming an incomparably sharp weapon that chased after the Demonic Flame Bird. After being hit, the Demonic Flame Bird almost lost its balance and fell down. However, it quickly stabilized itself and flew in the air. This time, it did not use demonic flames to attack. Instead, it emitted its aura and let out a deafening cry. Hearing the noise, everyone covered their ears and their pets retreated to defend themselves. Monsters began to appear on the plains. The monsters were all at the peak of Rank-6. There were about a few hundred of them, surrounding Ye Fan and the Hunter Group. Chapter 226 - 226 Is He Really Only Rank-7? 226 Is He Really Only Rank-7? ¡°Aren¡¯t the Demonic Flame Birds of the fire attribute? Why do they still summon monsters?¡± The situation in front of them was even worse. One Demonic Flame Bird had already made them despair. Now, more than a hundred monsters had appeared. Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, and their expressions were extremely ugly. ¡°I knew it. You shouldn¡¯t have taken that egg!¡± Zhang Xiong was still nagging, but he was already trembling with fear. He suddenly felt that the egg was no longer important. They should not have come here. Who had ever encountered such a situation when they came to such a dangerous place and encountered a Rank-8 monster that was not in the files? Probably none of them had survived! However, Ye Fan was quite happy. They were all Rank-6 and Rank-7, it was not that troublesome, but there were too many of them. After some thought, he summoned all his pets and asked Anissa, the Inferno Tyrant, the skeleton, and the Seven Luminaries Beast to guard the four directions. In the middle, he asked the fox to help the pets and protect the Hunter Group. The Flower Sprite also came out at this time. Seeing that it was a battlefield of many monsters, she was so afraid that she grabbed Ye Fan¡¯s collar tightly. ¡°Alright, they¡¯re all Rank-6 and Rank-7. There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± The Flower Sprite looked at the Demonic Flame Bird and said in a trembling voice, ¡°This bird seems to be very terrifying. By the way, Master, why is there another Rank-8 fellow!¡± Ye Fan smiled helplessly. He did not want that either. He had originally planned to complete the mission while looking for materials. He did not expect to encounter Rank-8 monsters several times, and this Demonic Flame Bird was not even recorded. It was definitely an accident. However, it was not impossible to deal with it. The Firmament King was more than enough to deal with the Demonic Flame Bird. Moreover, killing the Demonic Flame Bird above its level would only increase its growth. At that time, it would directly increase to Rank-8. But why could the Demonic Flame Bird summon so many monsters? Ye Fan was still a little confused, but he was sure that the Demonic Flame Bird did not have any summoning skills. These monsters should not be summoned by him, but he did not know the reason. The Firmament King was focused on dealing with the Demonic Flame Bird. The battle had not been going on for long, and the injuries of the two were about the same. The Firmament King had fought several battles in the past, so it was more or less exhausted now and its movements were a little slow. In the next second, the Flower Sprite waved its finger, and a green energy wave hit the Firmament King. The Firmament King¡¯s combat strength instantly recovered a lot, and its defense also recovered. On the other side, Anissa absorbed blood to deal with these Rank-6 and Rank-7 monsters. There were about 20 to 30 monsters distributed in four directions. The blood was absorbed into a huge ball of blood that floated in the air. Every time the monsters approached, the ball of blood would split into many small balls that would eventually fall on the monsters like raindrops. At first, the monsters did not feel anything. It was as light as raindrops falling on their bodies and they did not take it seriously. Xiao Xiao stared at Anissa because he had never seen this move before. As expected, the power of this move was astonishing. In the next moment, Anissa spun her palm and suddenly pinched it. Blood spikes grew out of the raindrops that landed on the monsters. The blood spikes quickly spread throughout their bodies, piercing all their blood vessels, and their bodies twisted and deformed uncontrollably. Immediately after, the monsters seemed to have countless thorns growing out of its heart, penetrating their skin and finally turning them into hedgehogs. However, this was not the end. The corners of Anissa¡¯s mouth curled up. She jumped up and swung the blood sword in her hand, sweeping through the hedgehog-like monsters in front of her. The moment the monsters collided with the sword aura, they exploded into blood. This wave directly killed eight or nine monsters. In the first wave, she reached out and absorbed the blood, forming a huge ball of blood in the air. In the second wave, she released the same move. ¡°Blood Steam!¡± Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded. They were both Rank-7 pets, but his pet was on a completely different level from Anissa¡¯s. He was shocked beyond words. ¡°Is this pet really only Rank-7?¡± ¡°Why is a Rank-7 pet so strong?¡± On the other side, Zhang Xiong¡¯s jaw dropped. The skeleton in front of him looked ordinary, and it was only at the early-stage Rank-7. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for it to deal with twenty to thirty Rank-6 and Rank-7 monsters. Originally, Zhang Xiong was sweating. He felt that Ye Fan was joking. The man wanted to deal with so many monsters of the same level with such a low-level pet. Wasn¡¯t this overloading his pet? However, in the next moment, the aura emitted by the skeleton was cold, like the arrival of the Grim Reaper. The two bones in its hands emitted a cold blue light, and its eyes flickered with a blue light. It raised the bone knife and slashed at the monsters that were attacking it, directly killing two Rank-6 monsters. The few grasshopper monsters that were attacked by the demonic aura were directly cut into pieces like fruits. Rank-7 monsters were no exception in his eyes. He raised his bone knife and slashed at them like he was cutting cabbages. Not long after, dozens of corpses of monsters were lying on the ground. The pets seemed to have endless stamina as they fought bravely and tirelessly. The foxes were also constantly providing support with runes in the middle. The cooperation of the pets was extremely high. The members of the Green Stone Hunter Group, who had thought that they were doomed, watched the battle with their mouths agape. As they watched, they were shocked. They had thought that Ye Fan didn¡¯t take out all his pets along the way because the other pets weren¡¯t high-leveled. They didn¡¯t expect that every pet was so powerful that any one of them could crush all of the humans. At this moment, the Flower Sprite waved its hand again and lowered the level of all the monsters. After being weakened, the monsters could not withstand a single blow. ¡°Rose, replenish Anissa¡¯s energy.¡± Ye Fan reminded. ¡°Alright, Master! I¡¯ll do it now!¡± Rose activated her high-efficiency recovery skill and waved it at Anissa. Anissa¡¯s recovery speed instantly increased by several times. ¡°Thank you, Rose.¡± Anissa¡¯s valiant and mature voice sounded. Rose responded with a sweet smile. ¡°We¡¯re all family. There¡¯s no need to be polite with me!¡± Ye Fan also smiled, then looked at the situation on the Seven Luminaries Beast¡¯s side. Similarly, Xiao Xiao also shifted her gaze from Anissa to the Seven Luminaries Beast in front of Xiao Wu. Xiao Xiao only remembered that he had never seen this pet before, because not only could it transform freely, but it also had several attributes. The skills of each attribute were terrifyingly powerful. At this moment, the Seven Luminaries Beast was in its earth form. Its entire body was khaki, and its armor was incomparably hard. It held an incomparably sharp sword in its hand. When the monster attacked, it directly stabbed the monster¡¯s brain with a fast, accurate, and ruthless sword. Then, it spun violently, and the monster¡¯s brain juice was brought out. Seeing this, the other monsters retreated in fear. The Seven Luminaries Beast did not give them a chance to react at all. It quickly stepped forward and swept across like a dragonfly skimming the water. Three monsters were slashed in the throat on the spot. Black blood gushed out, and the monsters fell to the ground and struggled.
