The battle continued.
[Divine Subversion: Implants a thought seal, changing the enemy's attack target]
Under Xiao Ye's control, the white fox's eyes flashed again, and a mysterious beam struck the black wolf.
"Owooo!"
The black wolf snapped to attention, ran to the edge of the wall, and started tearing apart the flowers of the "Maglo Fruit." Silently, they now saw the Maglo Fruit as the "white fox."
Seeing the helpless "white fox," Jing Ran and Xie Mengxuan were very pleased.
"Hmph! This isn't enough."
**[Night Phantom: Maximum power! Increases speed by sixfold]**
The black wolf intensified its assault on the Maglo Fruit!
Watching his beloved spirit plant being destroyed, the principal's eyes widened, his expression changing drastically as he shouted, "Jing Ran, are you out of your mind? Do you have a death wish?"
The principal then laughed in exasperation, "This guy is just getting more into it."
"The Maglo Fruit isn't just for show; the black wolf is going to suffer!"
The contractors were stunned by the black wolf's actions. Was it brain-damaged?
At this moment, the color of the Maglo Fruit's flowers changed to pitch black, releasing a toxin. Its vines wrapped tightly around the black wolf, with thorns growing and tightening!
"Awooo!" The black wolf let out a terrifying scream that sent shivers down the spine.
"Awooo!"
"Awooo!"
"Awooo!"
The black wolf howled in agony for two full minutes before the principal pulled it out.
A minute later, Jing Ran and Xie Mengxuan were sprawled on the ground, pale and panting heavily!
"We concede! Xiao Ye, I'm not as good as you," Jing Ran admitted weakly.
Xie Mengxuan was filled with despair at her defeat.
A second-stage Jing Ran and her, just entering the first stage, could only summon a peak first-stage wolf king.
Xie Mengxuan, shocked, pointed at Xiao Ye, exclaiming, "You've reached peak first stage already? In such a short time?"
"Wow, from zero to peak first stage in a day, impressive!"
"So amazing? We haven't even entered the first stage yet!"
"I reckon it will take me a week to reach the first stage. Xiao Ye did it in a day? That's incredible."
The other three pairs of contractors were deeply impressed by this feat.
Jing Ran's eyes widened in disbelief, "Impossible! Even with an SSS-Rank, reaching peak first stage in a day is impossible!"
It took him, an S-Rank, half a year to reach peak first stage.
The principal speculated, "Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi's current level should be mid-first stage, allowing them to overpower the peak first-stage wolf king with the SSS-Rank white fox."
"Pu!" Jing Ran spat out blood upon hearing this. Mid-first stage took him a month or two!
After an hour's rest, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi led the twelve-member team from Third High onto the steel train heading to the entrance exam training camp.
The train had three carriages, each carrying prodigies from First, Second, and Third High.
In the era of beast-eared maidens, some modern industries remained, such as trains, the internet, phones, and computers.
**[Task completed, please claim your reward]**
**[Reward successfully claimed, 100 evolution points, Beauty Pill placed in pocket]**
Seeing the round pill in his pocket, Xiao Ye pulled Cheng Bingxi into the train's restroom and locked the door.
Cheng Bingxi, cornered by Xiao Ye, blushed as she found herself in a wall slam.
"Xiao Ye, don't act recklessly; it's still daylight."
Xiao Ye smirked, lifting Cheng Bingxi's delicate chin, "Then when should we not act recklessly, when it's dark?"
Cheng Bingxi instinctively nodded, then shook her head, shyly saying, "Oh, whatever you say!"
Xiao Ye slipped the pill into Cheng Bingxi's mouth, urging her to swallow it.
"What's this? It melted instantly, with no taste," Cheng Bingxi remarked, intrigued.
Xiao Ye removed Cheng Bingxi's half-fox mask, directing her gaze to the mirror.
Cheng Bingxi covered her beautiful eyes, hesitant to look.
Huh?
She suddenly felt an itch on her right cheek and reached to scratch it.
But the sight of her right cheek widened her eyes.
"Xiao Ye, what's happening?"
Before her astonished gaze, the large scar slowly peeled away, revealing a delicate, fair face.
When the scar fully detached, her right cheek was as flawless and smooth as her left, perfectly tender!
"O!" Cheng Bingxi's rosy lips parted in shock, wide enough to fit an egg.
The Beauty Pill's effect went beyond that, making her skin even more radiant, her hair shinier, and her eyes more vibrant.
Xiao Ye stood aside, very satisfied with the Beauty Pill's effects.
With the scar gone, tears welled in Cheng Bingxi's eyes, her long-standing burden dissolving. She leapt onto Xiao Ye, kissing him passionately.
"Xiao Ye, I love you to death!"
Cheng Bingxi's face beamed with joy, feeling happier than ever in two years. To her, Xiao Ye was her destined prince.
Xiao Ye interjected, "Don't get carried away; it's not the time yet."
Cheng Bingxi, fervent and passionate, disregarded everything.
In the train carriage.
Jing Ran and Xie Mengxuan, force-fed two bottles of nutrient fluid by the principal, were angrily arguing with the train conductor.
"We need to use the restroom; why can't we leave our seats?"
The conductor, with a bland gaze, replied, "Someone's already in the restroom. Only two people can leave their seats at a time."
"Please be patient; they'll be out soon."
Jing Ran felt like he was about to burst but held back, reassuring Xie Mengxuan, "Let's wait a bit; ten minutes at most, then it's our turn."
Xie Mengxuan glared at him, saying nothing more.
Half an hour later, the train safely arrived at the training camp.
Just then, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi emerged from the restroom, and Xie Mengxuan rushed in with a strained expression.
As Jing Ran tried to follow, "clang!" the restroom door was locked from inside.
"Fine, fine, if that's how you want to play." Jing Ran's face turned purple as he dashed out of the train to find a tree.
As the prodigies from Second and First High, who had disembarked, saw him rushing towards the forest, someone commented:
"He's going to take a dump, isn't he?"
Silence followed.
"That's one of Third High's guys. I heard they have a devilish school belle, but I never saw her when I visited."
"What's there to see? Two years ago, a magical beast attack ruined her face, knocking her off the school belle pedestal."
"Third High supposedly has a guy with an incredible awakening phenomenon. Wonder if he'll be at the training camp."
Second High had six pairs of contractors, First High had five, totaling 23 people.
At that moment, Xiao Ye led Cheng Bingxi, holding her hand, as they disembarked with the prodigies from Third High.
All eyes immediately focused on Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi.
"Gasp! An absolute beauty! Who said her face was ruined?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I peeped at her from Third High."
"That beauty is incredible! Only our First High's noble school belle can compare."
"Dang, that young man, isn't he the devilish school belle's contractor? I'm jealous."
As the youths from First and Second High exclaimed, the proud girls with them were displease
d, activating their family-reinforcement techniques.
"Ouch! Who pinched me? Oh, it's you, honey. I was wrong!"
"Hiss! That really hurt. I won't do it again, I swear."
