To upgrade the [SSS-ranked Space Kunpeng Template], it required fifty Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, fifty Dark Attribute Rule Fragment Crystals, and fifty Space Type Rule Fragment Crystals.
But that was the upgrade requirement before the Template Adjuster’s functions were fully developed.
After returning to Yun Bing’s vice dean villa, Xiao Ye used the Template Adjuster to probe Yun Bing’s template and check the upgrade requirements.
[Mythical Level Space Venerable King Kunpeng Template] (Upgrade Conditions)
Checking the upgrade requirements.
Rule Fragments, fifty Creation Type, fifty Dark Attribute, fifty Space Type,
Energy resources, 150 Tier Nine Crystal Cores, 150 Grandmaster Realm Crystal Cores, 150 Great Grandmaster Realm Crystal Cores, 150 Venerable Realm Crystal Cores, 150 Great Venerable Realm Crystal Cores, and 120 Middle Grade Venerable Realm Crystal Cores.
For the same realm, a SSS-ranked template and a Mythical Level template were hundreds of times apart in strength.
After the template was upgraded, the original realm would be preserved, and it would require a massive amount of energy resources to make sure the template owner’s realm wasn’t hollow, so the realm could stay stable and the foundation solid.
Xiao Ye saw this but frowned.
Yun Bing’s current realm was Supreme Nine-Star, which meant Supreme Tier Nine, and she was just one step away from Supreme Tier Ten, but the amount of energy needed for supplementation was way too enormous.
He had 150 Demon Beast Crystal Cores from each realm below Venerable Realm, but where could he get 120 Middle Grade Venerable Realm Crystal Cores?
He had to slay 120 Venerable Realm Demon Beasts in order to collect that many Venerable Realm Crystal Cores!
*This was the drawback of the strong template—talent surpasses, invincible among peers, limitless potential, fast upgrading, but the upgrade resources are ten or even twenty times what an SSS-level needs.*
Yun Bing twisted her curvy figure, walking over with charming grace, unable to hold back any longer, she said, "Xiao Ye, we’ve gathered all the upgrading resources, can we upgrade the template now?"
Xiao Ye’s face looked troubled, and he hesitated.
Yun Bing rolled her eyes at him with a thousand different charms, pouting as she snapped, "Hmph, got numb legs? I’ll give you a massage."
She squatted down in front of Xiao Ye, reaching out tenderly to massage his calf. Her technique was clumsy, and she didn’t get the strength right, but having the Supreme Goddess Dean give him a massage, Xiao Ye’s vanity was completely satisfied.
After rubbing one calf for a while, she switched to the other, then, after a while, Yun Bing lifted her head, revealing that incredibly gorgeous mature face as she asked, "Not feeling numb anymore?"
Xiao Ye shook his head.
Yun Bing rolled her eyes at him again, knowing it wasn’t about numb legs, but him wanting her attitude. So, with a domineering tone, still squatting and looking up, she said, "Tonight you can kick however you want!"
"Kick standing, kick lying down, kick sitting, kick upside down, it’s all fine!"
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched.
Seeing he still wasn’t making a move, Yun Bing, wanting to upgrade the template, decided to go all out and said, "If I wear a maid outfit to massage you, will that do?"
"Hmph, me, a dignified Supreme, actually wearing a maid outfit, really now."
Grumbling, she walked into the bedroom, and in less than half a minute, she came back out, still wearing the same leather jacket and shorts. That stunning face was tinged with embarrassment as she scratched her head and said, "I forgot, I don’t have a maid outfit."
"I’ll go buy one now!"
Yun Bing’s figure disappeared, teleporting away.
Mu Qingxue’s face darkened. Scowling at Xiao Ye, she said, "Don’t tell me you want me to wear a maid outfit too before you’ll upgrade my template?"
"I’m the dignified daughter of the City Lord’s Mansion! There’s no way I’m ever wearing that kind of shameful outfit!"
Xiao Ye shook his head and cut right to the chase, "It’s not about wearing a maid outfit or not. It’s not that I don’t want to upgrade Sister Yun Bing’s template, but after the secret technique’s been improved, to keep the original realm, it now needs a massive supply of energy resources."
"Yun Bing is Supreme Nine-Star. To keep that realm, aside from some basic resources, you still need 150 Supreme Middle Grade Crystal Cores."
Mu Qingxue was instantly stunned when she heard that, "A hundred and fifty, and they’re Supreme Middle Grade Crystal Cores?"
Even with several thousand years of her City Lord’s Mansion heritage, she might not be able to come up with that many crystal cores.
"I’ve bought it!" A pleasant, mature voice echoed, as Yun Bing teleported back, holding an exquisite wooden box in both hands.
Mu Qingxue moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing at all.
Yun Bing stepped into the bedroom, and half a minute later, came out again.
A white and black ultra-short dress.
The dress was completely filled out by Yun Bing’s proud, shapely figure, making her devilish curves even more prominent.
The hem of the dress landed right at mid-thigh, covering her perky forbidden zone, paired with two black lacquered stockings that left only a sliver of tender white thigh exposed.
The most attention-grabbing thing was the contrast—Yun Bing’s aura built over years as a Supreme, her vice dean and teacher status, and that beautiful, mature face combined with an ultra-tempting maid outfit, creating a conflicting charm.
Even her slightly bashful cheeks blushed, yet she still stepped up, squatted in front of Xiao Ye, and reached out her slender hands to gently massage his calf again.
Xiao Ye reached out and stroked her head, smiling as he said, "You’ve worked hard."
Yun Bing’s beautiful face turned rosy and shy, looking up, she asked, "Do you like it?"
Yun Bing smiled, blossoming like a gorgeous rose, incredibly beautiful. Her eyes were gentle as she said, "As long as you like it, I can wear it for you every day."
Mu Qingxue’s mouth turned into an "O" shape, shocked to the core.
*A dignified Supreme, one of Devil City’s top figures, and she actually didn’t mind lowering herself, just to please a man?*
*Is this what it means, a woman dresses up for the one she loves?*
*Could this be the power of love?*
*Mu Qingxue twisted her graceful body awkwardly, and in that moment, she realized that compared to Yun Bing, her feelings for Xiao Ye weren’t as deep. She wasn’t as willing to forsake the opinion of the world and all those silly rules.*
"If Sister Yun Bing can do it, so can I!" Mu Qingxue clenched her small fist, biting her lip, and made up her mind.
*She understood now. For love, there was nothing wrong with setting aside her pride for a while.*
*She felt like she’d just experienced an epiphany.*
Xiao Ye cupped Yun Bing’s delicate chin, making her look at him directly. With a touch of reluctance, he said, "There’s some bad news I have to tell you."
Yun Bing blinked her beautiful eyes, confusion growing on her pretty face as she waited for him to speak.
Xiao Ye spoke plainly, "The resources needed to upgrade the template have increased a lot, not just Rule Fragments, but also Crystal Core resources."
"You need 150 Tier Nine Crystal Cores, 150 Grandmaster Crystal Cores, 150 Great Grandmaster Crystal Cores, 150 Venerable Crystal Cores, 150 Great Venerable Crystal Cores, and 120 Supreme Middle Grade Crystal Cores. Only with these resources can I guarantee your realm doesn’t drop after the template upgrade."
"If the energy resources fall short, after the template upgrades, your realm will definitely decrease, so you’ll have to cultivate it back up again."
Mu Qingxue turned her face away, unable to bear looking at Yun Bing’s disappointed, regretful expression.
Yun Bing was stunned, "A hundred and twenty Supreme Middle Grade Crystal Cores?"
After the shock, she went silent, her face expressionless, but the disappointment in her beautiful eyes was impossible to hide.
