Mythical Grade, it’s actually Mythical Grade!
Good heavens, how monstrous is that!
In the ancient eras, not a single Beast Master of Mythical-Grade Talent had ever appeared openly; Mythical Grade remained only in legend.
It is said that Mythical Grade represents a Child of Fate, the chosen one of this Universe, beloved by heaven and earth, favored by the laws!
Should a Mythical Grade emerge, the Human Clan would rise to prominence and advance to the forefront of the Universe, capable of contending with Cosmic Dominators.
Of course, a Mythical-Grade Aptitude is not to be spoken of in the same breath as SSS grade; they’re not on the same level, with the gap being tens or even hundreds of times wider. How much exactly is unknown, for Blue Star has never seen a Mythical template or Beast Master awakened.
"That jerk, why didn’t he tell me sooner!"
"Made me ridicule him several times because of this!"
Mu Qingxue thought of the times she had ridiculed Xiao Ye face-to-face, telling him he had no future, even saying that she would annul the contract once he reached the Great Venerable Realm.
Her cheeks burned with heat, her pretty face flushed red;
The side effects of contracting multiple Beast Girls don’t work on Xiao Ye at all! With his Talent Aptitude several tens, even hundreds of times higher than SSS Grade, even if it were split, he would still crush SSS Grade!
Mu Qingxue also noticed Xiao Ye’s incredibly monstrous Attributes, [Attributes: Five Elements, Supreme, Life, Destruction, Phantom Spirit, Thunder]
Normally, it’s monstrous for one person to have two attributes, but Xiao Ye, he has ten attributes!
The Five Elements Attribute—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—is quite common, but others only have one, while he has all five.
Besides the Five Elements, the other five attributes are also extremely rare.
"Forming a contract with him seems like I’m reaching for someone above my station," Mu Qingxue murmured blankly, her resistance toward making a contract diminishing.
Faced with everyone’s praise and compliments, Xiao Ye’s face beamed a sunny, brilliant smile.
Then he asked, "Uncle Mu, does this mean we’ve passed the first trial?"
Mu Cheng burst into laughter, "Of course! But..."
Xiao Ye was puzzled, but what?
Mu Cheng looked at Xiao Ye with fiery eyes, saying, "Still calling me Uncle Mu? Call me Father-in-law. Whether or not you’ve passed the test, I’m set on you as my son-in-law!"
"Tomorrow, the Mu Family will send out invitations, notify the whole city to partake in the wedding banquet, and arrange your marriage ceremony, ushering you two to the bridal chamber."
"And, contract binding on the spot!"
The Mu Family members chimed in one after another, "I agree."
"Double happiness, sounds good to me." "Hahaha! Can’t wait to drink the wedding wine." "Xue Er is getting married, such a joyous occasion!"
The silver-haired elder thought to himself: I’ll be attending the wedding too, I quite lad.
Mu Qingxue objected, "Dad, I haven’t agreed yet, don’t you want to ask for my opinion?"
Mu Cheng gave her a glance, "Whether you agree or not, Xiao Ye is our chosen son-in-law."
"Alright, you’ve passed the first trial, but there are two more trials to undergo."
"Even though we all approve of Xiao Ye, the Secret Realm trial is a tradition and rule of the Mu Family for thousands of years, and cannot be bypassed or altered."
He looked up only to find the silver-haired elder had disappeared without a trace.
Thus, Mu Cheng continued to preside over the situation,
[Second Trial: Coordination Trial, pass by fighting Demon Beasts, testing the tacit understanding between the Contractor and the beast, if sufficient, the trial is cleared]
A transfer portal to the Secret Realm appeared, this type for internal transportation within the Secret Realm, Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue stepped into it.
After walking through the brief spatial passage, the two emerged deep within a Demon Beast mountain range.
The light here is dim, the thorn thickets dense, everywhere cracked and foul-smelling ditches abound.
Pair after pair of narrow red eyes appears among the surrounding thorns, their number terrifying.
Anyone with a fear of crowded spaces would probably wet themselves if they came here.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue stood back to back in calm composure, eyes fixed on the thorn thickets in opposite directions, releasing their own auras, ready for battle at any moment.
Mu Qingxue spoke, "This challenge is about mutual assistance and cooperation between two people to kill the Demon Beasts."
"As long as the performance of the assistance and cooperation meets the standard, it counts as passing."
Xiao Ye expressed his understanding, "So basically, we just need to annihilate the Demon Beasts, right?"
"Right," she responded.
The Demon Beasts among the thorns were Blazing Fire Demons, which Xiao Ye had encountered at the training base, but those here were clearly of a much higher level, reaching the Two-star Great Venerable Realm.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak!" "Squeak squeak squeak squeak!"
Feeling the power radiating from Xiao Ye, the Blazing Fire Demon Beasts huddled together, their bodies erupting in scorching flames that illuminated the entire Thorny Jungle, the surrounding temperature soaring rapidly to over 2000 degrees.
A huge column of fire burst forth from the Magic Beast Group, cutting through the air towards Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue!
Mu Qingxue’s expression turned severe, her heart racing to the extreme, facing a Two-star Great Venerable Magic Beast Group when her own Realm was only at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.
Xiao Ye’s mouth quirked up, "Leave these Demon Beasts to me!"
"Just don’t get in the way."
Boom! A scorching aura burst forth from Xiao Ye.
[Five Elements Control][Fire Element Control]
Xiao Ye became the King of Fire, with the profound Artistic Conception of Fire surging around him, all nearby fire elements under his command.
As the column of fire hurtled toward them, he did not dodge or evade. As it was about to strike, the column took an uncanny turn, tracing a circular arc in the sky before blasting back toward the cluster of Blazing Fire Demon Beasts!
"Boom!" a loud crash.
The fire column, amped by Xiao Ye, exploded amidst the grouping of Blazing Fire Demon Beasts, scattering charred and burnt bodies across the ground.
This group of Blazing Fire Demon Beasts, destroyed!
Mu Qingxue looked on at his heroic figure, her eyes shining.
Xiao Ye casually dusted off his hands, feeling quite at ease, and asked, "All the Demon Beasts have been slain, did we pass the test?"
"Huh? It’s over just like that?" Mu Qingxue was dumbfounded; she hadn’t even done anything.
Around them, the Thorny Jungle began to quiver. From the duo as the center, more and more Blazing Fire Demon Beasts flew in, most at the Two-star Great Venerable Realm, with a few reaching the Four-star Great Venerable Realm.
The Blazing Fire Demon Beast King, however, was a Five Stars Great Venerable Demon Beast.
Under the Beast King’s command, ninety-nine percent of the Blazing Fire Demon Beasts hurtled towards it, assembling into a towering, twenty-meter mass.
An even more intense flame than before burst forth from the mass, shining like a small sun in the sky, heightening the temperature once again to the point where the Thorny Jungle could not bear the heat, sending out a sizzling protest.
Mu Qingxue’s expression was solemn, "This time, I will definitely play a role and cooperate with you to kill the Demon Beasts!"
She focused on gathering time factors, launching her Talent Skill, [Future Prediction], for the next few seconds.
A scene formed in her mind.
The terrifying small sun collided towards the two of them, turning the ground into a bright red lava.
"They plan to use their bodies and flames for impact!" Mu Qingxue immediately informed aloud.
Xiao Ye nodded, already having a counter strategy in mind.
