Chapter 10: Task Rewards, Xiao Ye: Absolutely Awesome!

"That's incredible!" The fruitful girl was stunned.

Yi Luren, seeing the goddess amazed by Xiao Ye, sourly remarked, "The instructor didn't perform well; he just got lucky. If they went again, he might not win."

The fruitful girl tilted her head and retorted, "Could you defeat the instructor as easily as Xiao Ye did?"

Faced with her question, Yi Luren's face turned red, "I..."

"You can't!" The fruitful girl answered for him when he hesitated.

The prodigy contractors present were all astonished by the power of the SSS-Rank template summoned beast.

Especially the two summoners of the Devil Butterfly, the Second High couple leaders, whose admiration for Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi was almost overflowing.

"Honey, from now on, Xiao Ye is my male idol. I'll probably live in his shadow forever!"

"I understand; there are many things I need to learn from such a powerful man!"

"Wow, honey, Xiao Ye is so gentle to his girlfriend. I'm in love!"

"If you were as pretty as Cheng the School Belle, I'd be gentle too."

"Are you looking for trouble? Am I not pretty? You'll be sleeping on the floor tonight."

The couple bantered playfully.

Cheng Bingxi, curious, asked Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, why did our summoned beast awaken a new talent skill out of nowhere?"

"It's true damage, which is so OP. I love it!"

Xiao Ye smiled mysteriously, "Do you want to know why it awakened? If you want to know, bring your ear closer, and I'll tell you."

Hehe! Cheng Bingxi's curiosity grew with his mysterious demeanor, so she leaned in, "Why?"

Xiao Ye blew softly, making up a story, "Our exercise increases the tacit understanding between us, enhancing the contract power, so our summoned beast unconsciously awakened a new talent skill."

"Oh my god, really?" Cheng Bingxi was shocked.

Xiao Ye nodded, looking at her.

With a blush, Cheng Bingxi said, "Then we should exercise more!"

**[Defeat the first-stage gorilla, task complete! Reward: 100 evolution points, one rule fragment crystal has been stored in the system space]**

**[Congratulations, Host: The rule fragment crystal has automatically recognized you as its master]**

**[After recognizing a master, no matter how the host uses the crystal, it can always be re-materialized and retrieved]**

A rule fragment crystal, automatically recognizing its master!

And it can be re-materialized at any time!

Xiao Ye was delighted. He already had one, but he didn't know how many it would take to unseal the fruitful girl's template.

Inside the training camp, within a tall tower, two middle-aged men with fluctuating auras witnessed the entire test.

"Old Yi, your son is still as stubborn as ever, hasn't changed a bit."

"He's the kind who won't turn back until he hits a wall, but he learns from mistakes better than from advice."

"Maybe so. By the way, do you believe my daughter has an SSS-Rank beast template?"

"I believe it! I saw the phenomenon when she awakened, comparable in scale to Third High's Cheng Bingxi, but the result showed C-Rank. That's an undeniable fact, something I've never heard of before."

"You have to understand, and your son must understand, that my daughter can never form a contract with him!"

"They're just not meant for each other, but Luren is too infatuated."

The two remained silent for a long time before continuing:

"With this training, our base city's overall performance in the college entrance exam won't be last anymore."

"That's not certain. I know that the neighboring base city, which was second to last last year, also started a training camp today."

"..."

"We need to find an opportunity to meet Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi."

Below, the prodigy contractors from the three high schools were ushered into the training camp by the welcoming team.

The contractors lined up on a flat ground, as the awakened welcoming team captain introduced the two bald-headed instructors beside him.

"During the one-month training, these two will be your instructors. Don't underestimate them because their heads shine like light bulbs; they were SSS-Rank beast template summoners transferred from the imperial capital ten years ago!"

SSS-Rank templates?

Everyone's attention shifted to the two instructors.

The welcoming team captain continued, "You're lucky. He was originally our hunting team instructor, known as a training maniac."

The bald male instructor took off his shirt, revealing veiny muscles and an eight-pack.

Everyone was stunned.

The bald male instructor's upper body and neck were covered in dense white scar scars, shocking to behold, making people gasp.

"One thousand eight hundred ninety-six scars!" the bald male instructor suddenly said, rolling up the bald female instructor's sleeve to reveal her arm's dense white scars, "We both have one thousand eight hundred ninety-six scars!"

"These are the marks from over five hundred hell-level difficulty missions we've completed in the past ten years."

His voice suddenly rose!

"We don't regret it; instead, we're proud! It's an honor! Because,"

"Each scar on our bodies is a contribution we've made to the Dragon Kingdom!"

Everyone was shocked. How much suffering had they endured, how many hardships had they overcome?

All stood in respectful silence.

In this disaster-stricken apocalypse, they grew up safely because someone else bore the burden.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the bald instructor nodded and then said:

"Our task this time is to train you into decisive, adaptable iron-blooded prodigies in the wild!"

"And to ensure that this year's college entrance exam overall score is no longer at the bottom!"

"This task's difficulty level, we set it as..."

"Hell-level!!"

The prodigies were dumbfounded. Escaping last place is hell-level difficulty?

The Second High leader turned red, extremely indignant, "Don't underestimate us! Are we that bad?"

Someone echoed, "Exactly!"

Cheng Bingxi shouted boldly, "Why act like cowards? If we're aiming, aim for first place!!"

Whoosh! All eyes focused on Cheng Bingxi, their looks seemingly saying, "Damn, she's fierce!"

Nangong Siyao's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Cheng Bingxi, as if a switch for a particular fetish had been flipped.

Cheng Bingxi blushed under the sudden attention, then firmly added, "Second to last is fine too!"

Everyone nearly fell over hearing her, using the most determined tone to say the weakest thing. Truly impressive.

Xiao Ye thought striving for first was too exhausting; going with the flow was better.

With his talent, participating in the college entrance exam, as long as he didn't rank last, it was okay.

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

**[Host has encountered an event, task triggered]**

**[Phase Task: Achieve personal national first place, base city's overall score enters the national top ten, reward: Supreme Mystery Prize]**

**[Accept task? No penalty for refusal, no penalty for failure]**

Xiao Ye's eyes widened in surprise. Supreme Mystery Prize? It sounded grandiose and prestigious.

"System, accept the task."

**[Task accepted successfully]**

Xiao Ye expressed.

The reward didn't matter; he mainly wanted to bring glory to the Wild Plains Base City!

As a Beastmaster filled with spirit, a true man of steel, he would naturally compete for first place among the countless prodigies, and naturally ensure the base city's overall exam score entered the national top ten!
