Chapter 18: Yi Luren's Heartbreak

Xiao Ye had the ability to contract multiple templates, something that Cheng Bingxi was initially resistant to, but she gradually accepted it with Xiao Ye's persuasion. According to Cheng Bingxi, only SSS-Rank beast-eared maidens were worthy of forming a contract with Xiao Ye.

But how many newly awakened SSS-Rank templates were there in the world? Not many, even in super base cities like the Imperial Capital and Magic Capital. Each year, only a few SSS-Rank individuals awaken, let alone those who are uncontracted.

The three of them were called for training by the bald instructor.

So, they walked out of the apartment together.

Cheng Bingxi wrapped her arm around Xiao Ye's left, and Nangong Siyao clung to his right, squeezing him in between, the yin flourishing over the yang.

Xiao Ye expressed that it was fine; he could handle it.

On this fifth day, other contractors in the youth training camp were engaging in simulated combat, adapting to fighting with their summoned beasts.

At this moment, the Devil Butterfly and Wolf King had been defeated by the talons of the Magic Eagle.

The summoners of the Wolf King, Jing Ran and Xie Mengxuan, looked serious after exiting their beast forms.

The Magic Eagle's innate ability was to obscure vision, making it hard to see the opponent.

This move was nearly infallible, ensuring that those hit by it would fall into a passive position.

Moreover, the Magic Eagle hovered high in the air, and the ground-based summoned beasts had no way to deal with it.

"Perhaps only those two can contend with the Magic Eagle."

"Tch!" Returning to his human form, Yi Luren scoffed with disdain, "Is this all you've got?"

"Not impressive at all."

Faced with Yi Luren's mockery, Jing Ran looked furious, and the Devil Butterfly's summoner from the second high school also glared angrily.

"What are you so smug about? You just used your aerial advantage against us."

"If you've got guts, go challenge Xiao Ye and see how you fare!"

In his anger, Jing Ran admitted that he was inferior to Xiao Ye.

Yi Luren shivered at the thought of Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi, who passed the hell-level devil training, but then his partner said:

"Xiao Ye? Hiding in the apartment for three days without coming out, this guy who fears training is a first for me."

Yi Luren was enlightened, what was there to fear?

Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi must have paid a hefty price to pass the hell-level training, and they've been hiding in the apartment out of fear and recovery.

Isn't that just cowardice?

Yi Luren sneered, "Xiao Ye? A coward who doesn't even dare to train!"

"And you want a coward to defeat me?"

At that moment, a pleasant voice rang out, "Yi Luren, who are you calling a coward? Are you looking for trouble?"

Yi Luren's eyes lit up; it was his idealized Nangong Siyao's voice.

"Yao Yao, you haven't formed a contract yet. You don't have to train today."

As he spoke, he looked over, only to be stunned.

Nangong Siyao was affectionately close with Xiao Ye, chatting and laughing as if in love, even kissing him in front of everyone.

But! Cheng Bingxi was right next to Xiao Ye.

"Wow, Xiao Ye is amazing, getting both beauties!"

"Our Wild Plains Base City's two most beautiful school flowers are both with Xiao Ye. Everyone stand up and pay respects to the grandmaster!"

"If I could get a kiss from the wealthy school flower, it'd be worth losing ten years of life!"

"I remember Yi Luren is a loyal fan of the wealthy school flower. What will he do now?"

People whispered and then turned their eyes to Yi Luren.

Tsk! Yi Luren clenched his fists, his face full of anger, shouting, "Xiao Ye! Let go of Yao Yao!!"

Xiao Ye and the two others calmly walked onto the training field, and Xiao Ye spread his hands, showing they were empty, his eyes teasing, "Who do you want me to let go of?"

"Uh!" Yi Luren choked, now seeing clearly that it was Nangong Siyao clinging to Xiao Ye's arm.

"Yao Yao, you, you!!!"

Yi Luren's eyes widened, feeling as sour as a lemon, staring incredulously at Nangong Siyao, "Don't you know men and women shouldn't touch?"

He stepped forward, trying to pry the fruit girl's hands apart.

Nangong Siyao, feeling his touch, looked annoyed, "You said men and women shouldn't touch, so why are you touching me? Let go!"

Saying this, she kicked Yi Luren away and clung tighter to Xiao Ye.

Yi Luren, scolded by his beloved goddess, stood frozen, dumbfounded.

"My white moonlight is sullied!" His heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Then Yi Luren's contractor, a chubby girl, stepped forward and sneered, "Luren, this woman is indiscriminate, a loose girl cozying up to someone else's contractor. She must be no good."

Xiao Ye frowned, ready to retort, but Yi Luren beat him to it, slapping the chubby girl's face and shouting angrily, "Who are you calling indiscriminate? Who are you calling loose? How dare you!"

Nangong Siyao, his childhood white moonlight, was perfect in his eyes, and he wouldn't allow anyone to belittle her.

The chubby girl held her swollen face and cried.

"Cough, cough! Today is about simulated combat training, not for disputes. Xiao Ye, Cheng Bingxi, fall in!" The bald instructor, enjoying the spectacle, finally intervened to maintain order.

As for Nangong Siyao and Xiao Ye, that wasn't his concern.

"Heh!" After falling in, Yi Luren requested, "Instructor! I propose a match between Xiao Ye and me. Let me experience the power of an SSS-Rank summoned beast."

"Simulated combat requires everyone's participation. Xiao Ye, Cheng Bingxi, step up," the bald instructor said.

Xiao Ye: "Nangong Siyao, let go, I need to transform."

Nangong Siyao: "Oh!"

Yi Luren: "Ah!!"

The wind howled, and the snow danced.

Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi summoned the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and after dazzling effects, a sacred Two-Tailed White Fox appeared.

On the other side, Yi Luren forcibly grabbed the chubby girl, invoking contract power to summon the Magic Eagle.

With a hum, the sound of flapping wings echoed as a Magic Eagle with a two-meter wingspan appeared ten meters above.

"Chirp chirp!!" The Magic Eagle's sharp eyes locked onto the Two-Tailed White Fox.

Second rank! The Magic Eagle was already at the second rank!

No wonder, as the son of the City Guard Pavilion Lord, an S-Rank gifted Beastmaster, he had advanced to the second rank within days.

"Xiao Ye, be careful! This guy's innate skill is vision blocking, watch out for sneak attacks!" The leader from the second high school, the Devil Butterfly's summoner, warned.

Vision blocking?

The Magic Eagle screeched, activating its innate skill!

**[Vision Blocking: As the name implies, it can plunge the opponent's vision into darkness]**

Indeed, under the White Fox's vision, all was dark, nothing visible.

But Xiao Ye smirked.

Beast combat relies solely on sight?

With a bang, the White Fox leaped like a rocket, leaving spiderweb-like cracks on the ground.

With a whoosh, the White Fox accurately jumped above the Magic Eagle.

The movement was instantaneous, and the Magic Eagle had no time to react.

The White Fox stomped down with thirty tons of force.

Boom! The air was crushed underfoot.
