After finishing their training, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi controlled their Two-tailed Form: Holy White Fox and walked over to the instructor.
Nangong Siyao immediately rushed over, hugging the Two-tailed White Fox tightly, her little face filled with excitement as she rubbed against the White Fox and said,
"Bingxi, you were seriously amazing!"
"Hehe, of course I was!" In the White Fox's consciousness, Cheng Bingxi grinned with pride.
*Xiao Ye, who could sense everything the White Fox felt, thought, Nangong Siyao, don't hug so tight, okay? That big fluffy thing really made it hard to breathe.*
Nangong Siyao reluctantly let go of the Two-tailed Form: Holy White Fox. The fox's fur was incredibly soft and cuddly, hugging it felt super comfortable.
Then, the Two-tailed Form: Holy White Fox released its Summoned Beast Form, returning to human form.
With a flash of white light, the White Fox disappeared, and a stunning guy and a beautiful girl appeared on the ground.
It was Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi.
"To celebrate finishing our first day of training, I'll treat you guys to dinner!" The Fruit Girl quickly found a reason to hang out with Cheng Bingxi.
The Fruit Girl said with cute ferocity, "Don't say no, come on, Sister Bingxi! Awooo."
The Bald Instructor gathered everyone together.
"Today everyone's training ended in perfection, and in a bit, you'll be able to go to the Resources Department to claim your rewards, I'll be sending your reward records to them."
"Tomorrow morning at six thirty, assemble downstairs at the dorms, dismissed!"
The female Bald Instructor raised her right hand, and everyone cheerfully dispersed.
Nangong Siyao seemed extremely familiar with the Youth Training Camp. Clutching Cheng Bingxi's arm, she led Xiao Ye toward the fanciest hunting restaurant in the barracks.
*Cheng Bingxi felt this Fruit Girl was being way too affectionate with her, and she couldn't help but wonder if Fruit Girl's sexual orientation was a bit off.*
*But Cheng Bingxi was just guessing.*
*Standing to the side, Xiao Ye had to watch his wife getting hugged by someone else, which made him pretty frustrated. He couldn't help but think viciously,*
"Nangong Siyao, you hug my wife, one week from now I'll hug you!"
After dinner, he could go claim 2,148 Tier Two Crystal Cores. With ten Tier Two Cores for one Tier Three Core, after crunching the numbers, he could exchange them for two Tier Five Cores, one Tier Four Core, four Tier Three Cores, and eight Tier Two Cores.
That massive haul of resources was enough for the Holy White Fox to power up to Tier Five!
They made it to the high-level hunting restaurant and entered a cozy private room, and a server came in automatically.
"Miss Nangong, what would you like to order?"
Nangong Siyao spoke like a regular, "I'll take Set One."
She handed the menu over to Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi. Set One had three dishes and a soup: Tier Six Demon Beast Meat, Tier Four Demon Beast Meat, Tier Five Edible Spirit Plant, plus a soup made from a Tier Eight Spirit Plant.
Seeing the price, Xiao Ye was a little stunned, like, damn, this Set One cost a Tier Seven Crystal Core!
"If you like it, let's come eat here every day, Sister Bingxi!" Nangong Siyao stared at Cheng Bingxi, her eyes sparkling.
*This girl is loaded,* Xiao Ye thought.
The server quickly brought the dishes and gave Nangong Siyao a blue potion bottle.
"This is the Energy Liquid refined from Demon Beast Meat in these dishes. Otherwise, our bodies couldn't handle the energy from Tier Four, Five, Six, or Eight Demon Beast Meat." Seeing the confused looks from Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao shook the blue potion bottle and explained.
They finished the meal in no time. On the way out, Cheng Bingxi patted her slightly stuffed belly, still wanting more. They then split up, each heading to the Resources Department to claim today's training rewards.
After picking up the rewards, they returned to the dorm apartment. After closing the door, Xiao Ye's handsome face lit up with a huge smile.
Inside his claimed backpack were two Tier Five Crystal Cores, one Tier Four Core, four Tier Three Cores, and eight Tier Two Cores.
Cultivate, time to cultivate now.
Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi channeled their Contractual Power, once again summoning the Two-tailed Form: Holy White Fox.
At this point, the White Fox was at the late stage of Tier Two, so they took out a Tier Three Crystal Core and let it swallow it.
Given the Two-tailed Form's insane absorption speed, in less than half an hour, with a "pop," its Realm rose to early Tier Three, just finishing digesting a single Tier Three Core's energy.
The power inside the White Fox suddenly shot up, and Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi, whose consciousness was inside the beast's mind, could sense that massive strength, like it could literally punch a cow to death.
Next, Xiao Ye was planning to keep cultivating, controlling the White Fox to gulp down two Tier Four Crystal Cores.
*No idea how much time passed, but as the Holy White Fox frantically ran the Demon Beast training technique, its Realm steadily climbed.*
Early Tier Three—Mid Tier Three—Late Tier Three—Peak Tier Three!
As a surge of energy erupted, with a boom, the Holy White Fox broke into early Tier Four.
If someone else had been watching, they'd have seen the Fox radiating more and more profound energy, as if it were the center of this space, all surrounding energy stirring and rippling around it.
The White Fox opened its eyes and saw that an entire day had gone by, so Xiao Ye had to ask the instructor for a leave. Then he came back to keep cultivating.
The Holy White Fox swallowed two Tier Five Crystal Cores.
As time kept flying by, the White Fox's Realm skyrocketed, like it was breaking through without hitting any bottlenecks.
Early Tier Four—Mid Tier Four—Late Tier Four—Peak Tier Four.
Early Tier Five!
"So strong! Freaking OP!"
Xiao Ye felt the ocean-like power inside the White Fox. He jumped up and smacked into the ceiling with a huge crash that shook the entire dorm building.
Good thing the dorms were built with apocalypse-grade materials, or else he'd have smashed right through the ceiling.
Their power had shot up so fast, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi couldn't get used to it right away, unable to control every subtle movement.
Xiao Ye estimated that compared to late Tier Two, Tier Five's strength and energy were at least a dozen times greater.
"It's insane!" Cheng Bingxi cheered.
To avoid wrecking the apartment, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi exited Summoned Beast Form and went back to human form.
In human form, they could still use some of the Summoned Beast's attributes. Their Contractor bodies felt way stronger, and Xiao Ye could sense that his physical stats had hugely improved, his punches whistling through the air and making ripples.
He guessed he had the strength of about three tons now.
Just then, the system's notification sounded in Xiao Ye's ears.
[Congrats, Host, for completing the mission, Level up to Tier Five within one week]
[Mission reward, One hundred Evolution Points, one Rule Fragment Crystal, stored in the system space]
[Rule Fragment Crystal auto-bound, Owner: Xiao Ye, bonding success]
[No matter how you use Rule Fragment Crystal, Host, you can always instaretrieve it back]
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, outside, Fruit Girl Nangong Siyao's sweet voice called out.
"Sister Bingxi, I heard something noisy in there, are you guys done cultivating?"
Pressing her huge plushie against the door, she whispered sneakily.
