《The Moment I Started High School, I Formed a Contract With the Crimson Dragon Queen》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sun shone through the window into Gu Ning¡¯s eyes on a sunny day. Gu Ning turned around to avoid the sun. He was bending his body, but suddenly, his right foot stretched out of the quilt. Gu Ning was only wearing a pair of boxers. There was a strange tattoo of a red snake on her inner thigh. The little red snake coiled around her as if it was in a dream. All of a sudden, the little red snake stuck out its tongue and opened its eyes. Then, the little red snake raised its head and looked around like a child who hadn¡¯t woken up yet. Throughout the whole process, the little red snake was still a tattoo on Gu Ning¡¯s skin. The little red snake wasn¡¯t confined to Gu Ning¡¯s inner thigh anymore. It started to move along Gu Ning¡¯s upper body. Soon, the little red snake also got into the quilt. It first circled around Gu Ning¡¯s arms, then came to Gu Ning¡¯s neck. It was as if Gu Ning¡¯s body was the little red snake¡¯s exclusive playground. The little red snake finally came to Gu Ning¡¯s chest. It laid its head on Gu Ning¡¯s heart as if it was listening to Gu Ning¡¯s heartbeat. Then it jumped up abruptly. At the same time, a red halo appeared on Gu Ning¡¯s body. Then, the quilt on Gu Ning¡¯s chest bulged. The little red snake appeared, standing on Gu Ning¡¯s lower arm. The little red snake was not big. It was only as thin as a finger. It was only about 20 centimeters long. One could easily wrap one¡¯s fingers around its body. Although the red snake was small, it was still heavy. The moment it came out of Gu Ning¡¯s skin, he felt its existence. Gu Ning opened his eyes slightly and woke up from his dream. The little red snake noticed Gu Ning had woken up. It moved closer to Gu Ning while sticking out its tongue. It did not want to hurt Gu Ning, but was rubbing Gu Ning¡¯s cheek gently with its head. Gu Ning looked at the little red snake in front of him. He smiled and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Good morning, Xiao Hong.¡± The little red snake moved closer to Gu Ning. It licked the tip of Gu Ning¡¯s nose with its tongue. ¡°Your saliva is sticky. I don¡¯t need you to help me wash my face.¡± Gu Ning rubbed his eyes with one hand and picked up the little red snake with the other. He sat up and was ready to go to the washroom. The snake looked at Gu Ning pitifully. Gu Ning forced a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to wash up. Do you want to come with me? Don¡¯t you hate water?¡± Seeing that, the snake had to lower its head to compromise. However, after Gu Ning placed it on the bed, the snake seemed to be able to smell Gu Ning¡¯s body scent again. It quickly raised its head again and happily went under Gu Ning¡¯s quilt. Gu Ning could not help smiling because of the snake¡¯s cuteness. Gu Ning, who was heading to the sink, saw the strong muscles reflected in front of the mirror, which did not match his 15-year-old age. It was obvious that he loved to exercise. Unfortunately, in this new era of monster trainers, it did not matter how robust one¡¯s body was. Only a powerful contracted beast could be the king. Gu Ning did not belong to this world. He came from another planet called the Solar System. One day, he accidentally traveled to this planet called the Blue Planet and started a new life here with the same name as in his previous life. What surprised him was that this blue planet was no different from the earth he had lived on in his previous world. However, many years ago, the blue planet had undergone a mutation, and the creatures began to return to their ancestors. In just an instant, all kinds of ferocious beasts with extraordinary abilities appeared, carrying out a destructive attack on humans. This made the humans who were originally at the top of the food chain become the prey of the ferocious beasts over a single night. Fortunately, in the midst of evolution and crisis, technology allowed human life to achieve a qualitative leap! Thus, with the help of technology, the humans of the new era, the Beastmasters, were born! A Beastmaster was able to enter into a bloodline contract with a ferocious beast that possessed extraordinary power, turning all kinds of ferocious beasts into his own contracted beast! The contracted beast would fuse with the body of the Beastmaster in the form of a contract tattoo. It could even leave the body of the Beastmaster and move independently! Meanwhile, the familiar could borrow the extraordinary energy in the bloodline of the contracted Beast and fuse itself with the blood and Qi in the human body, erupting extraordinary power comparable to that of a ferocious beast! With the arrival of a new era, the human race would no longer differentiate between countries. Instead, they would form a unified Blue Star Federation. New humans would be born and live in the Blue Star Federation. And now, with the arrival of the era of the universal familiar. All citizens of the Blue Star Federation could have their own contracted beasts! The stronger the contracted beast, the stronger the ability of the Beastmaster! Everyone could become a powerful Beastmaster! Unfortunately, Gu Ning, who had just entered the first year of high school, only had a common red snake. Such a contracted beast did not have any outstanding attributes. In the eyes of the Beastmaster, it was just a useless pet. It was destined to have no future. However, Gu Ning did not buy it for a single moment. He firmly believed that there were only useless monster trainers in the world, and no useless contracted beasts! He would make all the people who looked down on him reexamine their standing! After Gu Ning washed up, he fixed her hair, changed into his school uniform, and prepared to go to school. ¡°Xiao Hong, stay at home and don¡¯t run around,¡±Gu Ning turned to the snake playing in the living room before he left. After the snake nodded, Gu Ning opened the door. At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Gu Ning¡¯s mind. [Ding! Super Pet breeding system activated] System? Is this the legendary protagonist¡¯s Golden Finger System? As expected, novels did not lie. The transmigrator could really bind the system! Hearing the notification in his mind, Gu Ning was excited and surprised. [Please choose your pet.] A virtual interface appeared in front of him. There was no introduction. Only the words ¡°Please choose your pet¡± kept flashing. Gu Ning took a look at the little red snake that was crawling around in the living room. [Pet confirmed: Red Snake] [Breeding space: God¡¯s World] ¡°Breeding time: 1,000 years.¡± ¡°The first breeding is subject to a 100-fold increase. Breeding time x 100. Fixed: 100,000 years.¡± ¡°Start breeding¡­¡± A purple vortex suddenly appeared around the little red snake and swallowed it. It disappeared from Gu Ning¡¯s sight. Gu Ning didn¡¯t realize it until then. Wait! The system said¡­ 100,000 years? That was 100 centuries! Not to mention 100 centuries! Even after a century, there would not be any ashes of him left! What was the point of having a contracted beast! But it seemed to be dispelling Gu Ning¡¯s worries. The information on the system panel was still changing. The remaining time was decreasing at a terrifying speed! At this speed, the 100,000 years would be over soon! But what if my contracted beast does not survive in the space and dies? Gu Ning was worried. He glanced at the side and saw a line of small words on the inconspicuous position of the system. ¡°The Pet Beast Won¡¯t die in the breeding space.¡±. Gu Ning was relieved. She found that it would take a long time for the snake to stay in the space for 100,000 years. Gu Ning decided to deal with it after school. Thus, Gu Ning walked out of the house and went to school. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning slung his bag over his back and went to the bus stop early, waiting for the bus to go to school. It had been fifteen years since Gu Ning had transmigrated to this world called the Blue Planet. At first, he was not used to it, but now she had completely integrated into it. This included the unique ancient extraordinary power system of the Blue Planet, the familiar trainer system! This was an era where technology and Beastmaster techniques were combined! Beastmasters were able to form a bloodline contract with a ferocious beast that possessed extraordinary power, transforming the ferocious beast into a contracted beast. The contracted beast would then fuse with the Beastmaster¡¯s body in the form of a contract tattoo. The Beastmaster would imprint the extraordinary attribute energy circuits contained in the contracted Beast¡¯s bloodline into his body. With the help of the blood energy in his body, he would release all sorts of extraordinary powers that were comparable to ferocious beasts! Naturally, when it came to these matters, one couldn¡¯t avoid the most crucial ferocious beasts! Ferocious beasts were actually creatures that lived on the blue planet and possessed all sorts of powerful extraordinary powers. Because of this, the humans of a few centuries ago suffered greatly. It was not until the humans discovered the mysteries of the ferocious Beast¡¯s bloodline, and finally opened up the path of the Beastmaster that belonged to humans, that humans finally had the ability to contend with ferocious beasts! With the development of technology and social changes, the Blue Star Federation was established. In order to increase the potential of humans to fight against ferocious beasts, they continued to expand the living space of humans. The national familiars¡¯ program was officially formed! All citizens of the federation had their own contracted beasts! It was as common as the mobile phones in Gu Ning¡¯s original world! The Blue Star Federation suggested that the first time humans entered into a contract was best around the age of 14. It was best to enter into a bloodline contract with a young ferocious beast. In this way, the monster trainers could both bear the burden of the contract and grow up together with the contracted beasts. They could use the bloodlines of the Beasts to strengthen and transform their bodies and invigorate the bloodflow in their bodies! Gu Ning came to the school, Blue No. 1 middle school. It was a high-class school for Gu Ning. There were many rich kids and top students here. Gu Ning, who had a high score in the middle school examination, was admitted to this school by her own ability. He entered the teaching building and went to her own class. Because school had just started a few days ago, the students were still very enthusiastic, so the students who came today were all very early. Therefore, before Gu Ning reached the door, he heard the noise coming from the class of grade one, grade seven. However, when Gu Ning walked to the door, the noise obviously decreased. When Gu Ning returned to his seat, the male students who were chatting suddenly stopped talking and looked at him with strange eyes. Some of them even clenched their fists. At the same time, Gu Ning heard the whispers among the male students: ¡°It¡¯s so unlucky to see him so early in the morning. Why is our goddess Yuxi sitting with this guy? He¡¯s so annoying!¡± ¡°He looks calm on the surface, but he must be secretly happy inside. He¡¯s pretending to be indifferent. It¡¯s disgusting!¡± Gu Ning was used to these jealous looks. He knew why. When she walked to her seat, all the boys in the class looked at Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi, the beauty of class seven, who had been sitting there for a long time. Liu Yuxi crossed her hands and held her chin. She looked out of the window with a cold look in her eyes. She looked like an ice beauty. That was why Gu Ning was the public enemy of all the boys in the class. After all, Liu Yuxi was pretty. Any normal person would want to be close to her. However, the students of grade 11 Class 7 could only watch helplessly. The bald headteacher had for arranged Liu Yuxi to sit next to Gu Ning! The most annoying thing was that Gu Ning acted like he did not care. It was as if he was sitting next to a dummy, which made the students even more jealous! Gu Ning did not care, because Liu Yuxi was always cold. Even though Gu Ning was sitting next to her, Liu Yuxi only glanced at him, then turned her head back. She did not respect others, so Gu Ning did not have a good impression of her at all. Everyone was bored of watching such exchanges. They thought it lucky that Gu Ning was not smart enough, so they all went back to their seats. Soon, the bell rang. A young male teacher came in. The teacher raised his head like a swan and said to the students, ¡°My name is Wang Chao. From today on, I¡¯ll be your grade one, Class Seven¡¯s Beastmaster.¡± When Wang Chao said this, the eyes of all the students, male and female lit up. Even Liu Yuxi and Gu Ning, who were ice beauties, could not help but pay more attention, because the subject this teacher was teaching was the most popular Beast Tamer on the whole Blue Planet! Soon¡­ Wang Chao began to teach, ¡°As the name suggests, a Beast Tamer is an envoy who can control fierce beasts. It¡¯s an extremely noble existence. As a standard to distinguish the strength of a beast tamer, there are five levels of a beast tamer. from high to low, there are seven levels: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.¡± ¡°According to the social class, the graduating levels of the first, second, and third year of high school are F, E, and D. After graduation, you can be upgraded to become a familiar. For example, I¡¯m a C-level familiar.¡± Gu Ning had heard about the level of a familiar. F was the most basic level. If a normal person could reach B level, they would be able to cause a bloodbath! The highest grade, grade S, was even further out of reach. He remembered that there were only three of them in the entire Bluestar city! The teacher continued, ¡°The monster trainer can form a contract with the Beast and make it its own contracted beast.¡± ¡°The contracted beast usually attaches itself to the surface of the body like a tattoo. During a battle, the monster trainer can summon the contracted beast to fight for itself.¡± The teacher clenched his right fist, and the tattoo on his right hand shook out a blue circle of light. Immediately after, a fierce wolf dog the size of a lion appeared in front of everyone! The teacher waved his right hand, and the wolf-dog immediately jumped obediently in the direction of the teacher¡¯s right hand. After a blue light, it transformed back into the pet tattoo on the surface of the teacher¡¯s body. ¡°The second battle method is that a monster trainer can directly urge the contracted beast to combine with the blood and Qi in his body, forming a soul circuit on the surface of his body. From there, a monster trainer can possess the power of a contracted Beast!¡± As he said this, Wang Chao¡¯s face and hands suddenly underwent a drastic change. Shen Xiu¡¯s eyebrows became thinner and longer, her face became more and more pointed, her teeth were extremely sharp, her nails were also extremely sharp, and a blue tail grew out of her back. ¡°After the soul circuit is constructed, I can obtain my contracted beast, the strength, agility, and wind ability of the Windstorm Wolf Dog ¡°Among all the contracted beasts, my storm wolf dog is a warlord-level pet beast, which means that the highest I can cultivate it to be a B-class familiar.¡± ¡°After my level reaches B-class, I can also change to a more powerful fierce beast.¡± When it came to his cultivation, Wang Chao¡¯s gloating expression became even more pronounced. Wang Chao¡¯s words caused the students to exclaim in admiration. A B-grade monster trainer was an existence that many of them would never be able to reach. Gu Ning clenched his fists. He did not care about a B-grade monster trainer at all. His target was the respected S-grade monster trainer! Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The bell rang. The students who had been in class for the whole day put their textbooks back into their bags. Gu Ning also went to the school gate and waited for the bus. Gu Ning returned home. At that moment, a transparent message box from the system suddenly appeared in his mind. [The host¡¯s pet breeding time is almost over.] Gu Ning was surprised. He did not expect the 100,000-year training time mentioned by the system to be less than 24 hours in real life! But at this moment, Gu Ning had another question. His pet snake had been in the system¡¯s breeding space for 100,000 years. What kind of changes would it have now!? Thinking of this, Gu Ning could not help but feel frightened. He thought of all kinds of snake-shaped monsters in myths. They all looked strange! The system was counting down. [Ten¡­ nine¡­ eight¡­] Just when Gu Ning was scared. Crack! The space was torn apart! Endless Darkness appeared in the crack, as if it was connected to another dimension. Then, a strong light shot out from the crack and connected to the floor in the real world, creating a tunnel made of light. In the next moment, a woman in black silk and a long red dress walked out of the crack slowly. She walked gracefully to Gu Ning with her long legs covered in black silk. The little red snake, which was only the size of Gu Ning¡¯s palm, now had to bend down slightly to look at Gu Ning. She smiled and touched Gu Ning¡¯s cheek with her delicate fingers. She said softly, ¡°Long time no see, my little master.¡± Gu Ning heard her sexy voice, and half of his bones were broken. The other half of his bones were broken into pieces when he saw the two massive mounds in front of the red-haired woman and the curves on her bum which matched it! Not to mention that the beautiful woman with long, wavy hair was still touching Gu Ning¡¯s face. She was only 15 years old, so she couldn¡¯t help it! Her legs went soft immediately! Seeing Gu Ning almost lost his balance, the red-haired beauty quickly hugged him with her left hand. Gu Ning was able to stand firmly now, but their positions were even more intimate! Gu Ning¡¯s face was red, like a kettle that had been boiled. The red-haired beauty smiled and said, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for so many years. How have master and Xiao Hong become so distant?¡± Her smiling eyes looked at Gu Ning seductively. Gu Ning could not help asking, ¡°Are¡­ are you really my pet, Xiao Hong?¡± Although it was obvious, Gu Ning still could not help asking. The red-haired beauty smiled even more happily. She then hugged Gu Ning who was one head lower than her, in her arms, ¡°Silly Master, of course, Xiao Hong is Xiao Hong!¡± At Gu Ning¡¯s request¡­ Xiao Hong had to let go of Gu Ning to explain, ¡°Although Xiao Hong isn¡¯t the snake anymore, but a god-level red dragon queen, to master, Xiao Hong will always be the pet that signed a contract with Master!¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing the keywords, Gu Ning was surprised and happy, ¡°You just said that you¡¯re now the Red Dragon Queen at God-Level?¡± The pet¡¯s growth level was different from that of a familiar. There were seven levels of strength! They were servant level, general level, commander level, Lord level, epic level, legendary level, and God level. Each level had three levels. Some people lived their whole lives, but their pets never reached the god-level! That was because human beings could only live for a hundred years at most! Xiao Hong nodded with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right! My current power has been ranked according to the level in the real world. I¡¯m indeed the strongest God-level.¡± Xiao Hong sat down and explained to Gu Ning what had happened. It turned out that although Xiao Hong had spent less than a day in the breeding space, in the real world, it had only been a day. However, every minute and second in the breeding space was real! It turned out that the system had sent Xiao Hong to a God¡¯s world in a different dimension! Xiao Hong had to level up in that god-like world from scratch. ¡°I was so scared!¡± Xiao Hong pouted and pretended to be angry. ¡°Master sent Xiao Hong to that world. How cruel!¡± Hearing this, Gu Ning could not help but feel sorry. ¡°How did you survive?¡± Xiao Hong stopped acting coquettishly and answered seriously, ¡°Originally, Xiao Hong couldn¡¯t have defeated so many powerful beasts, but fortunately, the system that was bound to master helped Xiao Hong a lot in that world.¡± Xiao Hong, who was bound to the system, got the treatment of the main character. It allowed her to experience powerful battles in the foreign world and upgrade continuously. Because of the difference between the two worlds, Xiao Hong, as the Red Dragon Queen, could only release power below the level of God in the current world, which was the legendary level. But even so, in Gu Ning¡¯s world, she was one of the most powerful pets! Gu Ning, who was bound to Xiao Hong, would also be strengthened! Gu Ning could not help but get excited, ¡°So I can become a powerful monster trainer because of your power?¡± Xiao Hong nodded. In front of Gu Ning, the honorable Red Dragon Queen would always be his most loyal pet. Xiao Hong explained, ¡°When Xiao Hong returns to her master¡¯s body and becomes her master¡¯s pet tattoo, her master will be able to use Xiao Hong¡¯s power by building a soul circuit with Xiao Hong! ¡°However, because Xiao Hong focuses on fire, its owner can only use Xiao Hong¡¯s fire.¡± After saying that, Gu Ning was very tempted. He wanted to try it on the spot, so Xiao Hong merged with Gu Ning¡¯s body like before. However, as the Queen of the Red Dragon, Xiao Hong¡¯s tattoo was no longer the small snake that was less than the size of a palm. Instead, it had turned into a mighty dragon! Gu Ning went out to an open space to start the test. According to the instruction of the Beast Tamer Teacher and Xiao Hong, Gu Ning and Xiao Hong had successfully built a soul circuit in his right hand! A strong red light emanated from it! Xiao Hong reminded, ¡°Master, let¡¯s use one-thousandth of my power for the test.¡± One-thousandth of one¡¯s power does not sound like much, but it was just a test. Gu Ning did not have any objections. Following Xiao Hong¡¯s instructions, he clenched his fist and felt the power of the soul circuit. He let go and turned it into a solid object! Boom! The strong flame was like a tsunami, engulfing Gu Ning in all directions! The radius of the flame was ten meters long! The flame kept engulfing Gu Ning, even burning the electric pole! Some of the houses even lost their power. Gu Ning looked around in a daze. Except for the land under his feet, there was no other land around him. Gu Ning thought he should have used fireball, but he was shocked by what he saw! Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The garden was full of flowers and leaves, but Gu Ning had burned it into a wasteland. He had even burned down a telephone pole! Before Gu Ning could react, he heard the noise of the residents. They were shouting and asking why the electricity had suddenly gone out. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Ning had to change the venue in a hurry. When they arrived at the deserted suburbs, Gu Ning stopped. ¡°Xiao Hong, was that only one-tenth of your power?¡± Gu Ning couldn¡¯t help but say to Xiao Hong, ¡°That¡¯s too scary!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The red dragon queen on Gu Ning¡¯s right arm blinked and said, ¡°I¡¯m a god-level pet now. My magic must be at the level of divine fire.¡± In order not to confuse Gu Ning, the red dragon queen started to explain, ¡°I¡¯m a magic-level pet. The Flames I practice are divided into Earth, Sky, planet, star, and God.¡± ¡°A planet-level flame is equivalent to an atomic bomb in the human world. A god-level flame like me can devour the entire Earth.¡± ¡°But because I can only maintain the legendary level in this world, my firepower can only be at the level of planet and star.¡± Gu Ning was glad that his pet had become so powerful, but there was another problem. Xiao Hong was too powerful! It could easily reach the level of a nuclear bomb. How could he dare to use Xiao Hong¡¯s power to build a soul circuit! As soon as he made a move, his family and friends would be killed! The red dragon queen seemed to see through Gu Ning¡¯s doubts, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master. Your current level isn¡¯t very high, so the range of the soul circuit that master and I have built isn¡¯t very large. As long as you practice a little, you¡¯ll be able to master my firepower very soon.¡± Gu Ning finally understood. Indeed, only Xiao Hong had become stronger. Gu Ning¡¯s blood and Qi hadn¡¯t been improved yet, so his level was only F grade. Gu Ning told Xiao Hong her guess, ¡°So, as long as I train my blood and Qi to the highest level, I can release the same fire as you!¡± ¡°Of course, you¡¯re my master,¡± Xiao Hong answered. Gu Ning was very excited. That night, he had not slept at all. He had been practicing the firepower of the soul circuit that he had formed with the Red Dragon Queen. Finally, Gu Ning had mastered it in the second half of the night. He could even release the fire like a lighter. Moreover, Gu Ning¡¯s real strength had reached the sky level of the fire level. It was only one level lower than an atomic bomb. It could easily evaporate water. It was daytime now. Gu Ning went back to school again. However, even though he had stayed up all night, he was still full of energy now. Xiao Hong told Gu Ning that it was because Xiao Hong, the pet of God, had returned to Gu Ning¡¯s body, which made Gu Ning¡¯s physical fitness stronger than ordinary people. Now, even if he did not use the flame of the Red Dragon Queen, he could still beat ordinary people to a pulp. During the class, Gu Ning continued to learn a lot about monster trainers. He tried his best to improve his blood qi and level. He continued to live his day through as before. However, when school was about to end, a voice rang over, ¡°Gu Ning, come out and have a chat.¡± Some of the students immediately looked like they were watching a show. They knew who it was. They also knew that someone like Gu Ning would definitely be tortured to death. They wanted to see how scared Gu Ning would be. However, Gu Ning acted beyond their imagination. He just turned around and walked out of the door expressionlessly. Outside the door, a white-haired, well-dressed boy was looking at Gu Ning with his arms crossed. Around him were four or five big men who looked like they were already middle-aged. The white-haired boy was still wearing sunglasses. He raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Ning condescendingly. ¡°Your name is Gu Ning?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± Gu Ning said. The white-haired man said, ¡°Do you know who I am?¡± Gu Ning shook his head. The white-haired man was stunned, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. The bodyguard hurriedly said, ¡°My young master, Bai Yang, is the young master of the Bai Group. All the bars and KTVs in the neighborhood are owned by your family. All the gangs respect him!¡± ¡°Besides, our young master is already a D-level monster trainer. He can even graduate early! His contracted beast is the rare Red Snow Falcon. It has already reached the commander¡¯s level!¡± Bai Yang looked Gu Ning up and down and said, ¡°Your family is so poor, how good can your contracted beast Be? If I¡¯m not wrong, your contracted beast is yours, isn¡¯t it?¡± It was the era of all the beasts, but not every family in the Blue Star city-state had the ability to buy the young beasts with complete extraordinary bloodlines. As a result, the Blue Star city-state could only settle for the second-best. They set up familiars¡¯ parks in various cities and used a lower cost to artificially nurture a large number of young savage beasts with incomplete extraordinary bloodlines. Children of the right age with limited family conditions could adopt a young savage beast from the familiars¡¯ park for free when they entered high school. After raising it for a year, they would develop a certain emotional foundation, and then they would enter into a bloodline contract! However, such a contracted beast with an incomplete bloodline had a very low growth rate and upper limit. It meant that the possibility of it becoming a full-time trainer was almost zero! That was enough for most people! Because the national subdued beast plan was aimed at ordinary people, the social classes were gaining more importance. Gu Ning¡¯s Xiao Hong was on such a receiving end because of that. At that time, it was just an insignificant little red snake. ¡°Young man, do you see the difference?¡± Bai Yang asked arrogantly. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning answered directly, ¡°Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me? It¡¯s almost time to finish school. I¡¯m in a hurry to go back and take notes.¡± Bai Yang did not beat around the bush anymore. He directly said, ¡°Are you sitting at the same table as Liu Yuxi, the most beautiful girl in your class? You¡¯re not allowed to sit at the same table again!¡± ¡°Tell the tutor that you don¡¯t want to sit at the same table as Liu Yuxi anymore. Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Gu Ning felt weird. She asked, ¡°Why do I have to sit separately from Liu Yuxi? Do you have a close relationship with Liu Yuxi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Bai Yang said angrily. ¡°You have to talk to the tutor today and ask for a change of seats. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up with different people every day!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so¡­¡± Seeing Gu Ning silent for a while, Bai Yang smiled. He thought he had achieved his goal. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning turned back to her class and went to Liu Yuxi¡¯s seat. She pointed at Bai Yang and asked, ¡°Liu Yuxi, what¡¯s the relationship between you and that person?¡± Bai Yang was confused. Gu Ning was still talking, ¡°He asked me to change seats with you. Otherwise, someone else will beat me up every day.¡± Liu Yuxi was also confused. She turned to look at Bai Yang outside the door, then said something that made Bai Yang lose face: ¡°I¡¯ve never seen him before. I don¡¯t know him.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Yuxi¡¯s answer shot a hole in Bai Yang¡¯s heart, even while the lad was standing outside the door! Bai Yang had never expected Gu Ning to not play by the rules at all! He thought he had successfully scared Gu Ning off, but Gu Ning had gone back to ask the pretty girl, and the pretty girl had returned the favor! Now, all the students in the class would think that Bai Yang was a complete idiot! But the most annoying thing was still to come. After receiving Liu Yuxi¡¯s reply, Gu Ning first turned to look at Bai Yang outside the door. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and went back to his seat! After sitting down, he picked up the pen and continued to finish the blackboard book that the teacher had left in his notebook. That¡¯s right, he ignored Bai Yang, who had threatened to beat him up with a different person every day, and left him outside. For Gu Ning, talking to Bai Yang outside was less important than reading the notes of his teacher! All of a sudden, there were whispers in the classroom. ¡°If I¡¯m not blind, Gu Ning did ignore the young master of the Bai Group just now, didn¡¯t he? How dare he?¡± ¡°That young master Bai Yang is famous for taking revenge! Gu Ning will be in trouble this time!¡± ¡°No, Gu Ning is from an ordinary family. How could he defy the young master of the Bai Group?¡± ¡°Has Gu Ning found himself a rich woman recently? Is he going through the peak of his life? That¡¯s so exciting!¡± The students in the class were either discussing whether Gu Ning would die or whether he had gained a powerful backer. However, no matter what the students were talking about, Bai Yang had only one conclusion: he had lost all his face! Bai Yang clenched his fists. His subordinates were also very perceptive. They hurriedly asked him if he needed them to attack him directly in class. Under normal circumstances, Bai Yang would have let his bodyguards kill Gu Ning, but he stopped them this time. Gu Ning had made him lose all his face just now. As a young master of the Bai Group, he had to save his face in front of Gu Ning! He clapped his hands and walked into the classroom. He said through gritted teeth, ¡°Fine, you poor brat, Gu Ning. Do you want to do it the hard way?¡± The students of grade 12 Class 7 were still whispering to each other, but when Bai Yang stepped into the classroom, they all shut their mouths, lowered their heads, and turned their faces away. They were not as stupid as Gu Ning. They all knew that Bai Yang, a powerful young master, could not be offended. Bai Yang was very satisfied. He finally felt like a young master again. It seemed that Gu Ning was the only one who did not know what was good for him and needed to be taught a lesson. Bai Yang came to Gu Ning¡¯s seat. He first looked at Gu Ning¡¯s deskmate, Liu Yuxi, who was working on practice questions. He had no choice but to tell Liu Yuxi what had happened. Bai Yang bowed to Liu Yuxi like a noble. He said to Liu Yuxi, ¡°Liu Yuxi, I¡¯m sorry for troubling you just now.¡± Liu Yuxi glanced at Bai Yang and said, ¡°I was fine just now. I¡¯m a bit troubled now.¡± Bai Yang¡¯s smile froze on his face, but he still held back his anger. He continued, ¡°My name is Bai Yang. I¡¯m a young master of the Bai Group. Can we get to know each other?¡± ¡°We can be friends,¡± Liu Yuxi pursed her lips. ¡°But let me tell you the truth. It¡¯s impossible for us. You¡¯re too greasy. I don¡¯t like it.¡± At that moment, Bai Yang¡¯s dignity was gone. Gu Ning, the one who started it all, was writing on the blackboard seriously. Gu Ning ignored Bai Yang again and again. Bai Yang even lost face in front of Liu Yuxi, who he liked! All of this made Bai Yang furious! ¡°It¡¯s all your fault, Gu Ning!¡± Bai Yang slapped Bai Gu Ning¡¯s desk with both hands. ¡°You stopped me from taking notes on the blackboard,¡± Gu Ning answered simply. She even tried to move through Bai Yang to see the notes on the blackboard. Taking notes?! How could this be! How could this girl still want to take notes!!! Bai Yang gritted his teeth. In an instant, two white soul circuits lit up in his arms. His claws also grew into the shape of an eagle. He was only fifteen years old. He had just signed a contract with a fierce beast for less than a year, and he had already become a C-rank familiar trainer. His contracted beast was even a commander-level red snow falcon! Everyone was shocked! Gu Ning would be beaten to death against such a soul circuit! ¡°Go to Hell, you piece of trash!¡± Bai Yang shouted. The power of the Red Snow Falcon, which had strong wind and ice properties, made his attack break through the air! However, just as the Eagle Claw was about to touch Gu Ning, Gu Ning moved! Whoosh! The crowd only saw Gu Ning clench his fist, and the soul circuit only covered the back of his right hand. In the next moment, a red light flashed, and a loud sound was heard! The strong wind hurt everyone¡¯s eyes. When their eyes returned to normal, they saw Bai Yang was no longer in the same place. He laid in a corner, full of wounds. It was then that everyone realized the truth. Gu Ning had punched Bai Yang from his seat to the corner of the classroom! What! How could that be! Bai Yang was a D-level beast trainer! And his contracted beast, the Red Snow Falcon, was a commander-level beast! Gu Ning could not be a C-level beast trainer. Otherwise, he would have graduated early! That was because of his contracted beast! What kind of beast did he have! Everyone was stunned. Even Liu Yuxi, who was Gu Ning¡¯s deskmate, could not help but look at him in disbelief. Gu Ning continued to write down notes as if nothing had happened! The bodyguards outside the door immediately cursed! They were about to rush up and finish Gu Ning off! But at this time, Wang Chao came back. ¡°What happened?¡± Wang Chao asked in surprise. Because it was a school, the bodyguards did not dare to teach the kid a lesson in front of the professor. They had to tell the whole story to the professor and at the same time, criticize Gu Ning more. Wang Chao was also surprised when he found out the whole story. It had become tricky because it was Bai Yang from the next class who had provoked Gu Ning first. Gu Ning had only acted in self-defense, as for whether it would be considered self-defense¡­ Wang Chao, as a tutor, could not tell. However, as a tutor, he had to calm down. He told his classmates to go home early, while the bodyguard took Bai Yang to seek medical aid. He went back to the tutor¡¯s office to think about what Gu Ning¡¯s contracted beast was. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning went back home, but his story kept spreading in the class. Even the instructors started to discuss Gu Ning¡¯s story after dinner. A young female instructor made a hypothesis, ¡°Apart from the contracted beasts, if Gu Ning¡¯s own abilities are high-leveled, he should be better than Bai Yang, right?¡± Another tutor, who had been an economist, pushed his eyes and answered, ¡°You know, Bai Yang is a D-rank familiar.¡± ¡°It was all made with money. You have to use all kinds of supplements when you¡¯re young. Think about how much money you¡¯ll need.¡± The tutor continued to analyze, ¡°If Gu Ning can defeat the poplar, he has to be a D-rank familiar first. Do you think ordinary families can afford that?¡± Hearing that, all the teachers nodded. It seemed that it was the problem of the contracted beast itself. Besides buying and receiving, contracted beasts could also be captured in the wild. Although few people could attempt to capture beasts of their own in the wild, there were all kinds of strange things in the world. who could be sure that Gu Ning¡¯s family didn¡¯t have any powerful people to help him capture it? The discussion among the teachers became more and more intense. It even spread to the principal¡¯s office. If a principal was disturbed by a fight in another school, the students who got into a fight would have to be criticized or even expelled. However, Gu Ning¡¯s middle school was different. The principal of this middle school, Rex, was a talented person. Students who were famous for fighting might even be promoted. ¡°I heard recently that a new student in grade one, class seven, who had always been unknown, defeated Bai Yang with one punch.¡± Rex, who was sitting in his office chair, turned around. He looked at Wang Chao, who had come to report to him. Wang Chao nodded immediately and said, ¡°Yes, Principal. The new student¡¯s name is Gu Ning. He was born in an ordinary family. His family is neither rich nor powerful. We can¡¯t believe that he could defeat Bai Yang.¡± Rex raised his hand to signal Wang Chao to stop. He said, ¡°No need to be surprised. We just need to know that Gu Ning really defeated Bai Yang.¡± Wang Chao, who had worked in this school for many years, knew what the headmaster meant. Rex also told him his plan: ¡°The competition between universities is approaching soon. We can¡¯t let this talent go. Go and tell him to come to me after class.¡± Hearing that, Wang Chao could only nod and do as he was told. The next day, Gu Ning went to the principal¡¯s office according to Wang Chao¡¯s request. As soon as she entered the office, Gu Ning could sense the principal¡¯s carefree personality. The office of the principal was full of books and files, but the office of Principal Rex was full of classical guitars and basses. The files on the desk weren¡¯t messy, but all kinds of novels and manga, and even some limited edition ones. ¡°Which one do you like? I¡¯ll give it to you when you¡¯re an adult,¡± Rex joked. Gu Ning was even more certain about the character of principal Rex in his mind. But he still asked with some hesitation, ¡°Principal, you asked me to come to you this time. Don¡¯t tell me you want me to quit school because of my fight last time?¡± Rex laughed and answered, ¡°Of course not. Why should I ask you to quit school? You defeated Bai Yang in a fair fight, which proves that you¡¯re a talent.¡± Gu Ning was confused, ¡°Principal, what do you really think? Don¡¯t people always say that students who fight are destined to be the scum of society who have no contribution to the future?¡± ¡°What do other schools know? Schools are meant to cultivate talents. What¡¯s the use of having a useless diploma to go out into the world?¡± Rex said with disdain. ¡°Besides, it¡¯s the age of the beast. The stronger the beast, the greater the contribution to society. The more vigorous a man is, the more respected he will be.¡± This was the first time Gu Ning had heard such a thing, but she agreed with Rex. Gu Ning¡¯s doubts were dispelled, and a new one appeared. He asked, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t ask me to come here to consider dropping out, then¡­ ?¡± ¡°You¡¯re a talent. I want you to represent the school in the upcoming Federal University Test Competition.¡± Rex said solemnly, ¡°I think highly of you. This year, our goal must be to be the champion!¡± ¡°You want me to represent the school? But I¡¯m only a freshman,¡± Gu Ning said. Rex spread out his hands and answered, ¡°Indeed. In the past, I always sent the seniors to the competition, but they never gave me any good rankings.¡± ¡°Every year, we lost. This has made the middle school a laughingstock for many years! It¡¯s also at this time that I understand that age has nothing to do with strength.¡± Rex then pointed at Gu Ning, ¡°And you, you¡¯re a good seedling. You defeated Bai Yang in a second, which means you have yet to show all of your strength! Don¡¯t waste it!¡± ¡°So, are you willing to participate in this competition to win glory for the school?¡± Rex asked, ¡°If you win, the school will give you a scholarship and waive your tuition fees!¡± Gu Ning thought for a while, then answered, ¡°Then I have no reason to refuse. I¡¯m willing to participate.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Rex nodded with satisfaction. Then he took Gu Ning out of the office and went to another room, ¡°Follow me.¡± The room was very big. As soon as they entered, they saw all kinds of sandbags, wooden stakes, and a big screen. Gu Ning asked in confusion, ¡°Principal, what¡¯s this for?¡± ¡°This is the assessment room for monster trainers. To participate in the university competition, you need to provide the assessment forms for monster trainers and contracted beasts,¡± Rex explained to Gu Ning. ¡°Today, we¡¯ll assess your familiars first. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll test your contracted beasts.¡± Gu Ning nodded. It was perfect. He also wanted to know what his current level was. Rex started the device. On the big screen, he started to optimize Gu Ning¡¯s functions. The first stage was a physical examination. Gu Ning¡¯s heart, lungs, nose, mouth, and eyes were all normal. The next step was to see how strong the soul circuit that Gu Ning had built with his contracted beast was. A huge sandbag appeared in front of Gu Ning. According to the system¡¯s instructions, Gu Ning clenched his fist and built a soul circuit on the back of his hand. The system also asked Gu Ning to use all his strength. Thus, a red light flashed, and he threw a punch! Boom! A loud noise reverberated in the whole space, making Rex¡¯s ears ring. A big hole appeared in the huge sandbag in front of Gu Ning! Rex was satisfied with the result. When he was about to take a look at the result on the screen, he found that the big screen had turned blue! Gu Ning was confused. He turned to ask Rex, ¡°Principal, what rank am I?¡± Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The principal, Rex, was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. ¡°Boy, you¡¯re full of surprises! The school¡¯s equipment can¡¯t even determine your real level!¡± ¡°Are you saying that I blew up the school¡¯s Monster Trainer Testing Equipment?¡± Gu Ning asked. Rex nodded. ¡°The testing machine in our middle school is useless now. We¡¯ll have to get the technicians to fix it. Otherwise, our third-year students won¡¯t be able to graduate.¡± Gu Ning scratched his head. ¡°But I haven¡¯t tested my level yet. What should we do about the competition?¡± ¡°We won¡¯t be able to test it today. Head home first. I¡¯ll borrow some advanced equipment to test you again another day,¡± Rex said. Seeing that, Gu Ning nodded and turned to go home. When he got home, Gu Ning felt that he should discuss it with his contracted beast, Xiao Hong, who had become the Queen of the Red Dragons. Thus, Gu Ning summoned Xiao Hong out. After a light circle flashed, Xiao Hong, who was still wearing a red dress and black silk, walked out of the light circle. Although Xiao Hong had been like this for a long time, Gu Ning could not help getting excited every time he saw her hot figure and face. The Red Dragon Queen looked at Gu Ning with a smile, ¡°Hello Again, master. What can I do for you?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Gu Ning nodded, ¡°I need your help with something.¡± ¡°Help? You¡¯re too kind, master! Do you think Xiao Hong only exists to be on your beck and call when you need help?¡± Xiao Hong pouted, crossing her arms and turning her head away. Gu Ning apologized immediately, ¡°Master, please don¡¯t be angry.¡± Xiao Hong squinted its eyes, then smiled brightly. ¡°Haha, Ha! Xiao Hong was just teasing you! How could Xiao Hong be angry at you?¡± Gu Ning let out a sigh of relief. He told Xiao Hong about his trip to the principal¡¯s office and the fact that the principal, Rex, had asked him to represent Blue middle school in the school competition. ¡°So you want Xiao Hong to appear as a beast in the school competition and help you defeat the students from other schools?¡± The Red Dragon Queen asked. Gu ning nodded, ¡°Yes. Xiao Hong, you¡¯ve been in the realm of Gods for 100,000 years, and you¡¯ve reached the level of a God! Wouldn¡¯t defeating their contracted beasts be child¡¯s play?¡± Hearing that, the red dragon queen said helplessly, ¡°But Xiao Hong can¡¯t appear in the form of a beast in this world.¡± The red dragon queen explained, ¡°Because Xiao Hong is too powerful, the appearance of a god-level contracted beast will disturb the order of things. Xiao Hong will be punished by the realm.¡± Gu Ning was surprised, ¡°How could that happen?¡± Gu Ning never expected such restrictions to have been placed upon Xiao Hong. However, Gu Ning had already promised the principal, Rex. He asked Xiao Hong, ¡°I¡¯m going to take part in the college test in a few days. Is there any way?¡± ¡°Xiao Hong can¡¯t reveal her true form¡­¡± The red dragon queen thought for a while, then said, ¡°Master, why don¡¯t you get another contracted beast?¡± ¡°A second contracted beast?¡± Gu Ning was shocked. A few days ago, he wouldn¡¯t have thought about it at all. He hurriedly said, ¡°A second contracted beast needs me to at least be a D-grade, but I¡¯m only an F-grade monster trainer!¡± ¡°Who said you¡¯re only an F-grade monster trainer?¡± Xiao Hong asked back. ¡°You mean¡­¡± ¡°Because Master¡¯s contracted beast, Xiao Hong, has reached the maximum level in a foreign world, your current level is already many times higher than your peers.¡± The red dragon queen explained calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not difficult to form a second contracted beast. With Xiao Hong¡¯s help, master can even form a third or fourth one very soon.¡± ¡°Three or four contract beasts¡­¡± Gu Ning was excited just thinking about it. But soon, he came back to reality. He asked the red dragon queen, ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to find a second contract beast. I received you from the Federation.¡± ¡°There are two kinds of beasts that the federation gives to students for free. One kind are the artificial beasts that they cultivate on their own. The others are wild beasts outside the federation base.¡± The red dragon queen explained, ¡°In fact, Xiao Hong isn¡¯t an artificial familiar that was bred by the federation¡¯s scientists. Instead, I¡¯m the descendant of the famous Red Dragon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that Xiao Hong¡¯s kind are very weak when they young. When the hunters captured me, they saw that Xiao Hong was just an ordinary snake, so they gave it to me for free as a defective product.¡± Gu Ning suddenly understood, ¡°Xiao Hong, you were a fierce beast outside the base. No wonder you¡¯ve become so powerful now. You¡¯ve even evolved from a dragon to a real red dragon and became a Queen!¡± The red dragon queen nodded and continued, ¡°The beasts bred by the federation are 100% defective. Therefore, master¡¯s second beast must be captured from outside the base!¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not familiar with the wild. I don¡¯t even know where fierce beasts will appear.¡± Gu Ning scratched his head. The red dragon queen assured Gu Ning, ¡°Just now, when we were talking, Xiao Hong had already used her god-level perception to find a good candidate for master¡¯s familiar.¡± ¡°The target is in the Ice Lake Mountain Range 500 kilometers north of the Federation base. There is a familiar with a good appearance and talent there. Xiao Hong thinks it should be suitable for master.¡± Gu Ning was willing to trust the red dragon queen¡¯s judgment, but he had never been out of the base before. However, after seeing the reassuring smile of the Red Dragon Queen, the hesitation disappeared. ¡°500 kilometers. It seems that I have to ask for a leave from school,¡± Gu Ning said. Then, Gu Ning took out his phone and called the principal, Rex. ¡°Taking a leave? But Gu Ning, the competition between colleges will start soon. Don¡¯t you think you should finish your personal test and training before you think about anything else?¡± Rex answered. Gu Ning could only assure Rex, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Principal. I¡¯ll be back before the competition. I¡¯ll help Blue Middle School get a good place in this competition!¡± Rex had no reason to refuse Gu Ning, so he agreed. Gu Ning started to make preparations. He rented a motorcycle, took all kinds of precautions, and brought some snacks along the way. Then he left the federal base. Gu Ning, who had been driving 500 kilometers north, could feel the weather getting colder and colder. The red dragon queen in Gu Ning¡¯s body explained that many fierce beasts of the ice element lived in the ice pond mountain range. Over time, the fierce beasts had drained the heat from the environment. Soon, Gu Ning came across the smell of fireworks. He came to a small town under the Ice Lake Mountain Range. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A town meant that people lived there. Gu Ning could ask the locals some questions to avoid taking too many detours when he went to the ice pond mountain range. Gu Ning stepped on the snow-covered ground and came to the small town that looked like it was carved out of ice. Soon, he heard people talking to each other. However, Gu Ning also found that the residents here were dressed differently from those in the federal base, even if their economic level was almost the same as that of the federal base. It was as if they had gone through many eras. The people here still depended on going to the market to buy their daily necessities. In an instant, Gu Ning felt like he had traveled back to a society hundreds of years ago in the original world. Fortunately, after the Blue Star Federation was established, all human beings, including those who did not live in the federation base, could speak the same Blue Star language, so Gu Ning could communicate with them. Gu Ning¡¯s sincere and gentle personality also made the residents of the ice lake town lower their vigilance. They were willing to sit down and have a cup of tea with Gu Ning. Thus, Gu Ning started to talk about the main topic. ¡°Grandma, to be honest, I¡¯m here to catch the contracted beasts in the Ice Lake Mountain Range. Do you know which one is easy to walk on?¡± ¡°The Ice Lake Mountain Range?¡± The grandma looked incredulous. Gu Ning scratched her head. ¡°Yes, Grandma. Do you know which way to go?¡± The grandma shook her head and stood up. ¡°The Ice Lake Mountain Range is just a legend. It has been retold down several generations for so many years, but we¡¯ve never met anyone who lives here.¡± The Grandma left after saying that, leaving Gu Ning alone. Gu Ning didn¡¯t give up. He continued to ask the other residents. However, no matter if they were young or old, Gu Ning only got one answer: The Ice Lake Mountain Range was just a legend. After so many negative answers, Gu Ning started to doubt himself. Gu Ning had to talk to Xiao Hong in his mind. ¡°I didn¡¯t get any useful answers. They all said that the Ice Lake Mountain Range doesn¡¯t exist. Xiao Hong, is there something wrong with your perception?¡± ¡°Impossible. Xiao Hong, I¡¯m a god-level familiar now. It¡¯s easy for Xiao Hong to sense the existence of fierce beasts. There¡¯s no way I could have made a mistake,¡± Xiao Hong answered. ¡°The residents here are misleading us, or they have some secret. The Ice Lake Mountain Range can only be entered via a specific way. The residents at the foot of the mountain have never seen it before.¡± ¡°A specific way?¡± Gu Ning said, ¡°But we are so unfamiliar with this area. How can we go to the Ice Lake Mountain Range without the help of the residents?¡± ¡°Without the right way, we can only rely on Xiao Hong¡¯s perception to keep moving forward,¡± the red dragon queen answered. Gu Ning thought about it for a while, then nodded. ¡°In that case, we can only rely on ourselves.¡± After that, Gu Ning continued to follow the directions of the red dragon queen, driving forward in the wind and snow. Finally, after several hours of searching, the huge ice mountain appeared in front of Gu Ning. ¡°We can officially go up the mountain now,¡± Gu Ning said. In order to not let Gu Ning be alone, the Red Dragon Queen came out of Gu Ning¡¯s body and walked on the mountain with Gu Ning. The Red Dragon Queen could appear in human form in this world, but due to the rules of the plane, she could not transform into a true dragon. ¡°Xiao Hong, can you still sense the aura of that special familiar?¡± Gu Ning asked as they walked. The red dragon queen nodded and answered, ¡°The closer Xiao Hong gets to it, the more powerful its energy is. It can¡¯t run.¡± The red dragon queen looked up at the top of the mountain. ¡°Xiao Hong can feel it. There is a powerful source of energy coming from there. Just keep walking towards the top.¡± ¡°Although there may be some beasts here, the second contracted beast is definitely of good quality and talent.¡± Gu Ning nodded and continued to go up the mountain with the red dragon queen. On the way up the mountain, Gu Ning, who had never hunted in the wild, could feel the changes in the Ice Lake Mountain Range. It seemed that no human had entered the Ice Lake Mountain Range for a long time. The scent of man had completely disappeared. Today, Gu Ning¡¯s arrival made the whole mountain awaken its scent of humans again, which was most deadly! Human beings were food to the beasts! Gu Ning walked on the snow-covered ice mountain. The wind was strong, but Gu Ning could hear the roars of the beasts in the wind. It was as if the beasts had been waiting for Gu Ning in the dark! They were just waiting for the right time to kill Gu Ning in one strike! Or, they were waiting for their leader to attack first! If that was the case, Gu Ning would be in big trouble! As if to prove Gu Ning¡¯s suspicions, the iceberg not far away from Gu Ning suddenly collapsed. An avalanche was coming! Snow covered the sky and the earth! Gu Ning reacted quickly. He ran to the cliff on the other side with the red dragon queen and successfully avoided the avalanche. However, Gu Ning never expected this to just be the appetizer. The main course had arrived! Suddenly, a huge red-eyed white ape emerged from the snow! It kept hammering its chest and howling into the sky, like the king of beasts in the whole mountain range! ¡°This thing must be at least five meters tall. Is this a fierce beast that grew up in the wild?¡± Gu Ning, who had lived in the base of the Blue Star Federation since he was a child, could not help but exclaim. Gu Ning, who had taken a Beastmaster course, could easily tell that this white ape was at least a commander-level beast! After hammering its chest, the white ape turned its eyes to Gu Ning! It was over! Gu Ning¡¯s heart skipped a beat. After locking onto Gu Ning, the white ape immediately ran towards Gu Ning! While it was running, the white ape raised its right hand, and a huge axe was formed in the air! The white ape waved the huge axe in its hand, aiming at Gu Ning! The huge axe drew an arc in the snow, forming ice crystals! Gu Ning gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was ready to fight! However, the moment the huge axe was about to touch Gu Ning, it stopped. It did not die suddenly, nor was it pushed back by some force, nor was it frozen. It just held the huge axe in the air, stunned. Gu Ning found that the white ape was no longer staring at Gu Ning, but at the red dragon queen beside him. At the same time, Gu Ning also found that the red dragon queen¡¯s eyes had changed from a human¡¯s to a dragon¡¯s vertical pupils! The red dragon queen smiled and looked at the white ape. The white ape¡¯s eyes showed fear and panic! In the end, the white ape abandoned the axe and ran away! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master.¡± The Red Dragon Queen explained to Gu Ning, ¡°With Xiao Hong here, no matter how many beasts come to mess with us, they will all be scared by Xiao Hong.¡± Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As the red dragon queen had said, with the red dragon queen by his side, Gu Ning felt as if he had installed a signal jammer! The two traveled smoothly! Some unlucky beasts that could not stop themselves appeared in front of Gu Ning. The red dragon queen glared at them! They did not dare to breathe or even drool! Gu Ning even wondered if the red dragon queen had scared away the familiar they were looking for. The red dragon queen comforted Gu Ning. The pressure released by the red dragon queen was just to avoid them getting mauled. The red dragon queen also promised that she would return to her original appearance when they came upon the familiar. Gu Ning nodded. The only thing he had to worry about now was the cold, but he did not have to worry about that since he had made a contract with the red dragon queen. They climbed over hills and over cliffs. Gu Ning could not help but sigh. He never expected himself, who had never done rock climbing before, to feel so relaxed. It was all thanks to the help of Xiao Hong, who was a god-level contract beast, that he never tired after doing so many things. The cold wind did not even make Gu Ning, who was only wearing a simple jacket, feel cold! Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. Gu Ning really thought that he would be able to find his second subdued beast and make a contract with it.. The scene in front of him was different from what Gu Ning had imagined. There was no sign of life here. There was only a snowstorm and a large frozen lake! It looked extremely desolate. ¡°This is the peak of the frozen lake,¡± the red dragon queen said. ¡°That is the frozen lake of the heavenly lake at absolute zero degrees.¡± The vast lake was frozen. Gu Ning could not even see the border of the lake. He wondered if he was in the Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean in his original world! However, unlike ordinary lake water, this lake was completely frozen! No wonder this place was called the Ice Lake Mountain Range. It was because there was such a vast ice lake at the top of the mountain, Gu Ning thought to himself. But then, Gu Ning had a guess, ¡°Xiao Hong, is the familiar we¡¯ve been looking for¡­¡± The red dragon queen nodded and answered, ¡°Yes, Xiao Hong can feel it. We¡¯re looking for the familiar under the Ice Lake.¡± ¡°But how do we get down there?¡± Gu Ning continued to walk forward. He stepped on the frozen surface of the lake and found that it was really hard. Even though Gu Ning had never been out of the federal base, he knew that the surface of the lake was much harder than ordinary ice! Even if he could break through the ice, how could he get into the lake? The surface of the lake was already frozen. Imagine how cold the lake was? Gu Ning would be rushed to the hospital after taking two baths! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master. I¡¯m here.¡± The Red Dragon Queen patted her full chest. Then she waved her hand. Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in the air. The fire enveloped Gu Ning and the red dragon queen like a bubble. It formed a shield of flame, separating Gu Ning and the red dragon queen from the outside world! Gu Ning, who was covered by the flame shield, also felt the warmth of the flame shield. It was as if he had returned to the Blue Star Federation from the icy mountain range in a flash. Everything in the flame shield quieted down. The air was filled with the sound of two intertwined heartbeats. ¡°Master, we¡¯re starting to fall.¡± The Red Dragon Queen held Gu Ning¡¯s hands. After saying that, she led Gu Ning to jump down into the Icy Lake! Looking at the frozen ice, Gu Ning still had some concerns. Under normal circumstances, Gu Ning would definitely crash into the hard ice! Fortunately, Gu Ning¡¯s concerns were soon dispelled, because the red dragon Queen¡¯s Flame Shield melted the ice in an instant! The flame directly evaporated the ice into steam. The two jumped directly from the ice to the water. Gu Ning did not feel any cold until they went into the water. On the contrary, while they were falling, Gu Ning could still see their flame shield turning the ice into water vapor. Xiao Hong¡¯s flame shield was too strong! Gu Ning could not help but comment on it. The two kept falling deeper into the water. By right, it was quite dangerous to dive deep. The deeper they went, the less air pressure and oxygen would be in the water. Human bodies would suffer. They reached the bottom of the water. The storm was filtered by the 50-meter water layer, leaving only gentle waves. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Upon landing, Gu Ning stepped on something. He bent down to pick it up. It was a piece of pottery with ancient patterns on its surface. The red dragon queen took a look and answered, ¡°This thing is at least 2,000 years old. It should have been left behind by humans from a long time ago. It proves that the familiar we¡¯re looking for isn¡¯t too shabby.¡± ¡°Let Xiao Hong look harder.¡± The red dragon queen closed her eyes. A group of snakes appeared on the surface of her body. They were formed from flames, representing the group of snakes that represented her thoughts. The group of snakes in the depths of her thoughts was released. The snakes flowed along the red dragon queen¡¯s limbs and bones. In the end, they surged out and disappeared into the water. She observed the world with her ¡°snake¡± eyes. Through her eyes, the world was made up of countless tiny pipes. The pipes intersected and separated, extending endlessly. Finally, she saw the destination of their trip. ¡°A wall. From top to bottom, from left to right, it appears to have no visible end. You¡¯ll never reach the border. It¡¯s quite vast,¡± the red dragon queen said lightly. Gu Ning followed the red dragon queen to the place. In the end, Gu Ning was stunned. It was not that Gu Ning had not seen the world before, but Gu Ning was sure that anyone who saw the bronze wall in front of him would be shocked. Deep in the water, the pair held each other¡¯s hands tightly. They were floating in the blue and white water, looking up. The Flame Shield was shining, but now it was lost in the blue and white water. They could not see the end of the wall. In front of them, there was a huge bronze wall covered in ice. It stretched up, down, left, and right. It seemed endless, making Gu Ning feel smaller than ever. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning recognized a mottled mark from the copper rust on the bronze ice wall. It was exactly the same as the mark on the pottery piece he had just found. In other words, the thing that Gu Ning had just picked up was more than 2,000 years old. No human had left it behind. It was a piece of debris on the giant frozen bronze door in front of Gu Ning and the red dragon queen! ¡°It¡¯s strange that there¡¯s a giant frozen door like this under the ice pond in the legendary Ice Lake Mountains,¡± Gu Ning said. The red dragon queen speculated, ¡°There are two possibilities. The first is that the familiar we¡¯re looking for is a giant beast more than ten meters tall. It built the door.¡± ¡°The second possibility is that the gate was man-made. It¡¯s possible that many years ago, people were afraid of such a beast and built such a prison for it before the ice pool was frozen.¡± Hearing the second possibility, Gu Ning clapped her hands. She immediately thought of the residents in the small town at the foot of the mountain. He said, ¡°Could it be that the reason why the residents didn¡¯t want to tell us the location of the ice pool mountain range is because the ancestors of the residents were the ones who built this place?¡± The red dragon queen nodded, ¡°It¡¯s very possible.¡± The two could only guess, but they couldn¡¯t prove it. However, no matter what happened, one thing was certain. The familiar that Gu Ning was looking for must be very powerful! Otherwise, they would not have had to go through so much trouble to come to the Ice Lake at the top of the Ice Lake Mountain Range! Gu Ning went up and touched the frozen bronze door. When he touched it, the flame shield around him also burned the ice on the bronze door. However, it was obviously impossible to melt the ice on the door. It proved that the ice here was colder than the ice on the lake. However, for the red dragon queen who had trained her flame to the extreme, it was a piece of cake. ¡°Master, stay away. Xiao Hong needs to put in some effort.¡± The red dragon queen clenched her right hand, and a fireball appeared in her hand. After the fireball appeared, it continued to increase its intensity. The color of the flame became darker and darker. Finally, the red dragon queen waved her right hand, and a fireball formed with extremely strong flames. It directly blew a big hole in the frozen bronze door! The sound was so loud that it reverberated through the entire bottom of the water. It was even more powerful than the deep-water mines that Gu Ning had seen on TV in his previous world! The frozen bronze door was broken through by the red dragon queen. Gu Ning followed the red dragon queen into the door in surprise. It was still dark inside the door, but the fire generated by the red dragon queen¡¯s flame shield could light up the place. It was a large palace. There were all kinds of human-shaped skeletons inside. Apparently, many people had been here for many years. They had wanted to take the familiars inside the palace as Gu Ning did. However, these people never expected to die here. Gu Ning did not have to spend much effort to get here. ¡°So many people died just to take the familiar. I wonder if we can catch it. What a shame,¡± Gu Ning could not help sighing. ¡°But Xiao Hong, look. The body over there hasn¡¯t turned into a skeleton yet. It¡¯s relatively fresh.¡± The red dragon queen followed Gu Ning¡¯s gaze. She said in disbelief, ¡°That¡¯s not a human body. It¡¯s a blue poison ice ant. One bite from them could kill.¡± Gu Ning: ¡°???¡± That was not a human body, but a real ant! At the same time, the ants on the skeleton suddenly moved. A thick fog started to spread in the darkness! In the thick fog, a group of blue creatures the size of a fist rushed out like a tide! A blue poison ice ant could kill with a single bite. Gu Ning estimated that there were at least 100,000 of them! The red dragon queen did not even look at them. She put her hand in front of her body and opened her palm. The next moment, a strong flame spread out! The red dragon queen¡¯s hand seemed to have turned into an enlarged flamethrower. It released a strong temperature and burned all the ants! ¡°Ants are ants. No matter how many there are, it¡¯s useless.¡± The Red Dragon Queen blew on her fingers as if she had just blown smoke after shooting a gun. ¡°Have you seen enough over there? Why don¡¯t you come out yourself? Do you want me to find you myself?¡± The Red Dragon Queen suddenly said to a corner. Gu Ning followed her gaze. There was indeed a creature hiding there. It was the familiar they were looking for! ¡°On the count of three. If you still don¡¯t come out, I¡¯ll burn you too.¡± The Red Dragon Queen raised three fingers and started counting. ¡°One, two¡­¡± Just as the Red Dragon Queen was about to count to three, the creature in the corner finally appeared! Gu Ning looked over excitedly. He wanted to see what kind of creature she had come all the way here to catch. A Lion? A polar bear? An Ice Phoenix? Gu Ning was extremely excited. However, when he saw the creature¡¯s real face, he was immediately disappointed. The creature was barely as large as his calf. Because it was a silkworm! ¡°We came all the way here to catch a silkworm¡­ it¡¯s such a shame!¡± Gu Ning said in disbelief. As soon as Gu Ning finished complaining, a voice suddenly rebuked him: ¡°What do you mean it¡¯s just a silkworm? Boy, I¡¯m older than you. Show some respect! I¡¯ve lived for two thousand years, I¡¯m a millennium ice silkworm!¡± That¡¯s right, it was the silkworm that spoke. ¡°A talking beast?¡± Gu Ning was shocked. Before this, the only talking beast that Gu Ning knew was Xiao Hong, who had lived in the world of gods for 100,000 years. ¡°Of course! I¡¯m older than you. Of course, I can talk! Do you know how many people have died for me?¡± The ice silkworm said proudly. Gu Ning looked at the ice silkworm, then at Xiao Hong. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll trust my Xiao Hong for once. Then I¡¯ll choose you as my second contracted beast!¡± ¡°Contracted beast? Are you kidding me?¡± The ice silkworm couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Bah! I won¡¯t be anyone¡¯s contracted beast, let alone a kid like you.¡± Gu Ning asked, ¡°Are you sure you won¡¯t be my contracted beast?¡± The ice silkworm replied, ¡°No! I won¡¯t be your contracted beast! Even if I starve to death and jump down from here, I won¡¯t be your contracted beast!¡± Gu Ning nodded, then turned around and called out, ¡°Xiao Hong.¡± The fire suddenly lit up in the red dragon queen¡¯s hand. At first glance, it looked like a boss of a gang pulling out his knife. The millennium ice silkworm turned to flee. The red dragon queen directly threw four fireballs at it, blocking its way. The millennium ice silkworm looked at the wall of fire around it. It could only tremble and wait for death. Gu Ning approached the thousand-year-old ice silkworm. At the same time, he built a soul circuit on her finger and pointed it at the thousand-year-old ice silkworm¡¯s forehead. Both of them had a voice in their hearts: Do you agree to sign the contract? The thousand-year-old ice silkworm looked at the red dragon queen and nodded. Not long after, a white light flashed: ¡°The contract has been signed.¡± Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After signing the contract with the two familiars, Gu Ning felt much more comfortable. ¡°That¡¯s interesting. The second contract beast looks so weak, but I still feel so good after signing the contract.¡± Gu Ning could not help sighing. ¡°Master, you must trust Xiao Hong¡¯s judgment.¡± The red dragon queen explained to Gu Ning, ¡°The millennium ice silkworm is only at a low level now, so I can¡¯t feel how strong it is. ¡°But as a pet, it must be of high quality. As long as master sends it off to fend for itself as you did to Xiao Hong, it will be able to surprise master!¡± Gu Ning nodded. He had not thought of that, so he hurriedly summoned his super pet breeding system in his mind. A translucent panel appeared in front of Gu Ning. ¡°The current breeding place is free. Please choose your pet.¡± Looking at the blinking words, Gu Ning looked at the ground, as if someone had taken his virginity and he had been left crying silently. ¡°Target confirmed: Ice Silkworm.¡± Hearing its name, the ice silkworm quickly turned to Gu Ning. ¡°What do you want? Do you want to send me to the restaurant as human food?¡± Gu Ning didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn¡¯t understand how the imagination of millennium ice silkworm could be so vivid. The red dragon queen, on the other hand, heard the ice silkworm being disrespectful to Gu Ning. She stomped on her high heels and kicked the ice silkworm in the face. ¡°Show some respect! From now on, you will use the word ¡®master¡¯! Go to the cultivation space and repeat it to yourself a few more times! When you come back, you¡¯ll die before you do that again!¡± The red dragon queen was protecting Gu Ning. At first glance, it seemed like an ancient wife was teaching a concubine how to treat her husband. Gu Ning continued to work on the system. [Cultivation space: God¡¯s World] [Breeding time: 1,000 years] [Breeding triggered by 10 times, breeding time x 10, revised to: 10,000 years] [Start breeding¡­] After the system was done, a white light lit up on the ground. The millennium ice silkworm was instantly swallowed by the white light and successfully entered the breeding space. Gu Ning¡¯s eyes stopped on the text displayed by the system. He started to guess, ¡°The breeding time can only be set to 1,000 years at most, but the multipliers are completely random.¡± ¡°The first time when I sent Xiao Hong to the breeding space, it had been a 100-times multiplier, or 100,000 years.¡± ¡°This time, the thousand-year-old ice silkworm isn¡¯t so lucky. It was only sent for 10,000 years, but maybe he will have an easier time.¡± The red dragon queen nodded and said proudly, ¡°Yeah, not all contract beasts can reach the highest level like Xiao Hong.¡± Faced with the red dragon queen¡¯s boasting, Gu Ning could not help but smile. He stroked her head as if she was still the little snake, ¡°Yes, yes, my Xiao Hong is the best.¡± The red dragon queen happily let Gu Ning stroke her head. Because of the evolution, the Human Red Dragon Queen was one head taller than Gu Ning, so she bent down slightly when Gu Ning was stroking her, which made Gu Ning a bit embarrassed. ¡°Ahem, Xiao Hong, since we¡¯ve subdued the ice silkworm and sent it to the breeding space, we don¡¯t need to take it down here. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Maybe because the red dragon queen was only concerned about participating in the Battle of gods in the God¡¯s world as set by the system, she did not understand why Gu Ning was embarrassed. However, the Red Dragon Queen still nodded obediently. Then she used the flame shield again to cover herself and Gu Ning. In order to go from the bottom of the lake to the ground, the red dragon queen even modified the shape of the flame so that they could easily go from the bottom of the lake to the ground and then return to the way they came. When they passed by the small town at the foot of the mountain, the residents continued to do their own things. Apparently, they did not know that Gu Ning had already climbed to the top of the mountain and returned with the ice silkworm. They then drove another 500 kilometers. When they reached home, it was already early in the morning. Gu Ning was tired after a long day. He went back to his room and fell asleep immediately. The red dragon queen did not transform into Gu Ning¡¯s tattoo right away. Instead, she stayed in her human form by the bed and watched Gu Ning sleep soundly. The red dragon queen even put Gu Ning¡¯s head on her chest. Then she kissed Gu Ning on the forehead and said, ¡°Good night, Master.¡± Gu Ning remained ignorant about the whole chain of events. It wasn¡¯t until the next day that he found the tattoo of the red dragon queen on his chest. However, he did not pay too much attention to it. After washing up, he changed his clothes and went to take the bus as usual. Because the bus that Gu Ning took went directly to his school, there were often many students from his school on the bus. Under normal circumstances, Gu Ning would not pay attention to them. However, after the last incident, Gu Ning had become the most popular person in the school. Therefore, the moment he got on the bus, the students started to gossip about Gu Ning with their classmates. When Gu Ning looked at them, they would avoid his eyes. Gu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. They made him look like a villain. Gu Ning put on his headphones and listened to music. Soon, the bus arrived at the school. Gu Ning walked into the classroom. Before he entered the classroom, Gu Ning heard some noise in the classroom. She walked in and found that it was about the beautiful girls! This time, it was not Bai Yang who was beaten into the hospital by Gu Ning, but his cousin, Bai Pu. Bai Pu was sitting on Gu Ning¡¯s desk. Gu Ning hated people sitting on his desk. He was already unhappy. Bai Pu was obviously a stupid rich kid who did not know how to read faces. He smiled arrogantly when he saw Gu Ning coming over. ¡°You¡¯re Gu Ning?¡± ¡°Did your cousins ??plagiarize each other¡¯s opening remarks?¡± Gu Ning could not help but complain, ¡°Just spit it out. What do you want from me? Revenge?¡± Unexpectedly, Bai Pu replied, ¡°No, I¡¯m not here to avenge my cousin, Bai Yang.¡± ¡°He was no match to you. The rule of the Bai family is that one should take responsibility for his own actions. I, Bai Pu, won¡¯t fight with you for him.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Are you here to blow the air conditioner?¡± Gu Ning asked. Bai Pu jumped down from the table. He looked at Gu Ning and said, ¡°I¡¯m not here for my brother, Bai Yang. I¡¯m here for myself.¡± ¡°Compete with me. Who wins?¡± Bai Pu suddenly pointed at Liu Yuxi, who was sitting on the seat. ¡°Whoever wins will be qualified to sit with her.¡± Gu Ning was speechless. Was it for the class belle again! Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning forced a smile and said, ¡°I see that your family has set their eyes on Liu Yuxi and wants to treat her as their daughter-in-law. Why are they still so childish?¡± Bai Pu seemed to have been exposed. He started to stutter, ¡°Our family¡¯s business¡­ is¡­ None of your business! Just tell me if you want to accept the challenge!¡± ¡°I¡¯m different from my cousin, Bai Yang. He forced you to change your seat, and you sent him to the hospital. I¡¯m here to challenge you. If you don¡¯t fight, you must be afraid.¡± Bai Pu¡¯s provocation had been very effective. Gu Ning¡¯s eyes turned sharp. ¡°How do you want to fight? Do you want to summon the contracted beast to fight? Or do you want to fight the contracted beast after the soul circuit has been established?¡± Gu Ning was interested. He crossed his arms and looked at Bai Pu. ¡°How rude!¡± Bai Pu waved his hand to reject Gu Ning¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Let¡¯s fight according to the rules of the Bai Family!¡± Gu Ning shrugged. ¡°Tell me.¡± Bai Pu started to explain. ¡°We take turns. The attacker can only use one move. The defender can¡¯t fight back as he¡¯s attacked.¡± ¡°Then, in the second round, the attacker will become the defender, and the defender will become the attacker. The cycle will continue until a player falls to the ground. The one who is still standing will win.¡± Gu Ning felt that something was wrong. Was this not the slapping competition on his previous earth? However, both attacking and defending could strengthen the soul circuit of the contracted beast. ¡°This is a fair game that has been passed down the Bai family for thousands of years. It¡¯s a combination of courage, physique, and pets. Gu Ning, do you dare to accept the challenge?¡± Gu Ning nodded, ¡°Sure, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s exciting enough.¡± Gu Ning crossed his arms in front of` his chest and walked forward. ¡°Why don¡¯t we shorten the rounds? Each person can attack and defend once. We can even raise the stakes.¡± ¡°If you hit me, I¡¯ll just move my feet and scream in pain. From then on, I, Gu Ning, will be your dog.¡± Hearing that, the whole class was excited, but Gu Ning was not yet finished. ¡°But if I hit you and you don¡¯t end up in the hospital, I¡¯ll lose.¡± Bai Pu could not believe what Gu Ning said. Gu Ning continued, ¡°But if you go to the hospital, from now on, you have to bow and call me master Gu!¡± ¡°Ha ha ha ha ha! Gu Ning, Gu Ning! You¡¯re too arrogant! You caught my cousin by surprise. He didn¡¯t have time to defend himself! ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t be able to block your attack? You¡¯re dreaming!¡± Gu Ning looked at Bai Pu coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t be so long-winded. Do you dare?¡± Bai Pu gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°I dare!¡± Gu Ning, you¡¯re dead meat this time! Bai Pu thought to himself. It turned out that Bai Pu had swallowed a potion that could enhance the blood energy of his familiars! The powerful potion could double Bai Pu¡¯s power, who was at the same level as Bai Yang! It was more than enough to deal with Gu Ning! But what Bai Pu did not know was that Gu Ning did not care at all. Bai Pu built a soul circuit around his feet. With the help of the potion, his blood energy burst out very strongly. Gu Bing nodded, ¡°Not bad. Come on.¡± Bai Pu exerted more strength on his feet! He crashed into Gu Ning like a derailed train! Even so¡­ Gu Ning simply let his fist collide with his stomach, and he did not move an inch! Gu Ning smiled, ¡°You lost.¡± Bai Pu could not believe it, but Gu Ning did not give him any time. He had already built his soul circuit in his palm. He raised his hand and slapped Bai Pu¡¯s face! Bai Pu gritted his teeth. He believed that he could resist the attack! He built a soul circuit in his arms and put his hands on his face! The next moment! Bang! Bai Pu was blown away! He crashed into the same wall as his cousin! His face was swollen like a fat middle-aged man¡¯s stomach. Gu Ning clapped his hands. He looked around and said casually, ¡°Call an ambulance for him.¡± A kind-hearted classmate immediately complied. At this moment, Wang Chao came in. Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Chao could not help but be stunned. Gu Ning also shrugged, expressing his helplessness. However, just as the teacher was about to deal with this mess, Gu Ning suddenly stopped him. ¡°Teacher, I want to change seats!¡± Hearing Gu Ning¡¯s words, the whole class looked at him in surprise. Gu Ning just won, right? Why did he have to change seats? Wang Chao could not help asking. Gu Ning shrugged her shoulders and said directly, ¡°Liu Yuxi has brought too much trouble to the class. I don¡¯t want to sit with her anymore.¡± Liu Yuxi was speechless. She had done nothing, but in Gu Ning¡¯s eyes, she was just a nobody. Wang Chao was also embarrassed. He felt that Gu Ning had been ruthless to blurt it all out in front of all parties involved. However, it couldn¡¯t be helped. Gu Ning was now the candidate for the university competition appointed by the Headmaster, Rex. His status was even higher than the other students in the class. Wang Chao could only nod and agree. Gu Ning was very satisfied. After a whole day of classes, Gu Ning went back to his home. At that time, he received another notification from the system: [The host¡¯s pet breeding time is almost over.] Gu Ning nodded. Logically speaking, it was indeed time for the pet breeding to end. Gu Ning¡¯s second contracted beast had only stayed in the breeding space for 10,000 years, not as long as his Xiao Hong. However, he was still curious about the appearance of the ice silkworm. What would the ice silkworm look like after 10,000 years? It had been so bad-mouthed when it was 2,000 years old. Would it turn into a middle-aged man when it was 12,000 years old?! The system counted down, ¡°Ten¡­ nine¡­ eight¡­¡± Gu Ning could vaguely hear the cursing of the ice silkworm. Then the space was torn apart. The dark ball-shaped lightning suddenly expanded into a dark tunnel with a diameter of about two meters, as if it was connected to the endless void of the universe! The next moment¡­ ¡­ Gu Ning was shocked! A beautiful woman with translucent blue wings slowly walked through the space crack. She was tall and slim. She was wearing a blue and white European-style dress. Her white and blue wings were gently swaying behind her. Her long hair fell on her willow-like waist. Her big blue eyes were like two shining gems. The girl looked at Gu Ning with her beautiful eyes, which were like a pool of blue waves! She was a peerless beauty who could charm the whole world! She opened her red lips slightly and put her hands on her hips, looking like a proud 14 or 15-year-old girl. She looked at Gu Ning with a blush, then turned around and said in a low voice, ¡°Master¡­ Master!¡± Gu Ning was totally stunned! Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in disbelief. He was both surprised and happy. He said, ¡°You¡­ are you really the millennium ice silkworm that I signed a contract with?¡± ¡°Otherwise, who else could it be?¡± The beautiful girl in the blue dress had blue veins popping out on her face. ¡°You were the one who threw me into the breeding space for 10,000 years right after you signed the contract! And now you¡¯re questioning my identity!¡± Gu Ning clutched his forehead slightly. ¡°You must be the millennium ice silkworm.¡± ¡°I¡¯m no longer an ice silkworm! In the world of gods, I¡¯ve broken out of my cocoon after 10,000 years. I¡¯ve become a master-level familiar, the crystal butterfly!¡± ¡°No wonder you¡¯ve changed so much. You¡¯ve evolved too,¡± Gu Ning exclaimed. ¡°A butterfly with ice properties. I¡¯ll call You Bing Bing from now on!¡± The crystal butterfly was speechless. ¡°I don¡¯t like that name.¡± The more Gu Ning looked at the crystal butterfly, the more he could not help teasing her. ¡°I never expected you to change your appearance. I thought you¡¯d become a weird old man.¡± Hearing that, the crystal butterfly stomped her feet angrily. She stomped her feet, and an ice crystal shot out from her feet! The ice crystal shot out in Gu Ning¡¯s direction! Fortunately, Gu Ning reacted quickly and dodged it easily. ¡°Are you trying to kill your master?¡± Gu Ning knew that the crystal butterfly did not mean it, because they had already signed a contract. According to the rules of the contract, pets were not allowed to attack their masters directly. However, the arrogant crystal butterfly ignored his question. She turned her head away and said angrily, ¡°Who told you to call me a weird old man?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just kidding. You¡¯re so flirtatious. You¡¯re just like my Xiao Hong who came back after 100,000 years of training.¡± Gu Ning could not help saying, ¡°Such a shame yours only lasted 10,000 years.¡± ¡°We familiars are high-level creatures that can think consciously. Of course, each familiar has a different personality. The crystal butterfly continued to explain, ¡°I spent 2,000 years in the palace under the Ice Lake at the top of the Ice Lake Mountain Range. ¡°Do you think I¡¯d want to spend 10,000 years in that alien world to train and fight from scratch?¡± Gu Ning nodded. He suddenly felt that the crystal butterfly was right. ¡°Also, your first contracted beast, the Red Dragon Queen, is a single-unit combat-type familiar. She would have thrived alone in the foreign world. The crystal butterfly continued, ¡°I¡¯m a support-type familiar with AOE skills. I need to travel with my teammates instead of being sent solo!¡± ¡°How can there be such a subtle division between your familiars?¡± Gu Ning could not help but exclaim, ¡°But did you just say that you have AOE skills?¡± Gu Ning asked, ¡°Does that mean your skills are more useful than Xiao Hong¡¯s?¡± The crystal butterfly looked up proudly as if she was saying, ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°But the system shows that you¡¯re only at the master level. You¡¯re three levels lower than Xiao Hong¡¯s God level. Can you really be more powerful than Xiao Hong?¡± Gu Ning said slyly. He was trying to provoke her. He wanted to see what the crystal butterfly was really capable of, so he used this method. This method turned out to be very effective. The crystal butterfly pointed at Gu Ning¡¯s nose angrily, ¡°Just you wait! I¡¯ll show you what I¡¯m capable of!¡± Then, a blue light enveloped the crystal butterfly. Her body suddenly changed. Her bones shrunk from human bones to the size of insects. In the end, the butterfly transformed from a human into a giant butterfly. The butterfly¡¯s body was covered with beautiful patterns. There was a circle of crystals on the edge of its wings. It looked like a work of art. ¡°You look much better in this way than you do in human form. Haha, show me what you got.¡± Gu Ning joked. The crystal butterfly was a little angry, but she complied. She started to flap her wings in the air. In a moment, the air became cold. ¡°That¡¯s it? You just keep flapping your wings? Isn¡¯t that the function of an electric fan?¡± Gu Ning could not help but complain, ¡°Are you going to blow the fan until your enemies catch a cold during the battle?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that simple! Ah! I¡¯m so angry! I¡¯m so angry!¡± The crystal butterfly continued to flap its wings. It became faster and more frequent! At this moment, even Gu Ning felt something was wrong. The air around them was colder than a 16-degree air conditioner! Ice crystals were starting to appear! The temperature kept dropping. It was even colder than when Gu Ning had arrived at the Ice Lake Mountain Range! Gu Ning was shivering in the cold, but the crystal butterfly was still moving! Suddenly, a small tornado appeared in the air! With Gu Ning¡¯s house as the center, a strong ice storm suddenly appeared around her! ¡°That¡¯s enough! I¡¯ve seen your power!¡± Gu Ning stopped it immediately, but it was too late. The Crystal Butterfly, whose eyes were shining with blue light, was already angry! The ice storm started! ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s too late!¡± Gu Ning thought to himself. Fortunately, at that moment, the red dragon tattoo on Gu Ning¡¯s chest shone brightly. The light formed a circle of light, and a figure appeared! In an instant, the red dragon queen appeared in Gu Ning¡¯s body! Seeing this, the red dragon queen immediately activated her skill. She put her hands up first, and a strong heatwave was generated around her! Then she turned her hands down! The strong heat current was like the heat current of a lighter, magnified thousands of times. It completely swallowed the crystal storm of the crystal butterfly! The collision between the ice crystals and the heat current even caused a heavy rain in Gu Ning¡¯s neighborhood! The crystal butterfly, whose power had been washed away by the red dragon queen, turned into a human and fell to the ground. She murmured, ¡°I hate fire¡­¡± Gu Ning was shocked. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡± ¡°The suppression of attributes and Xiao Hong¡¯s level is much higher than hers. Under the impact of the power, she lost all her strength and became weak,¡± the red dragon Queen answered. ¡°But this girl¡¯s ice storm is quite powerful. If Xiao Hong¡¯s level wasn¡¯t much higher than hers, I¡¯m afraid she wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat her.¡± Gu Bing nodded. ¡°Then it wouldn¡¯t be too embarrassing to take her to the competition.¡± At the same time, Gu Ning also received a call from the principal, Rex. ¡°Gu Ning, I¡¯ve upgraded the testing system. Come to me in the afternoon to test your monster trainer level. It should be fine this time.¡± Gu Ning agreed. Then, he asked the red dragon queen to stay at home for a while, so that no one would suspect Gu Ning having two tattoos on his body. Gu Ning put the crystal butterfly back to his body. A butterfly tattoo appeared on Gu Ning¡¯s neck. Then Gu Ning went to the school to evaluate his monster trainer¡¯s level. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Ning went to the room where he had taken the test last time. The headmaster, Rex, had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing Gu Ning¡¯s arrival, Rex smiled and said, ¡°Look, the newly upgraded system and the hardware facilities are here. There are also professional examiners present.¡± Gu Ning looked around the testing room. As the principal had said, the facilities were complete, and the system had been upgraded. There were also professional staff waiting for Gu Ning. It seemed that the principal had spent a lot of effort to test Gu Ning¡¯s level, Gu Ning thought to himself. However, there were too many people today. Some of them were even wearing the same clothes. Gu Ning could not help asking the principal what those people were doing. The answer he got was that they were members of the Familiars Association. The Familiars Association would do a random check every year to see if there were any suitable people who could join their association. They did not show up last time, but this time they happened to bump into them as the system was being upgraded. Maybe the people of the Familiars Association were also curious about what kind of genius had appeared to make a university upgrade its testing facilities in such a hurry. ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any time. The testing competition will be held in a few days. Let¡¯s quickly measure the level of your familiars. There are more familiars coming up,¡± Rex said. Gu Ning nodded. He put down his bag and walked up. The staff watched him step by step. In the beginning, it was still a physical test, but the second part was a game. Gu Ning found it very strange. Later, she found out that it was a test of reaction power. Then, Gu Ning had to control the construction of the soul circuit according to the instructions of the tester and to change the state of the circuit rapidly. Just like that, the process progressed bit by bit. Finally, it was time for Gu Ning to release his full strength to measure the blood energy under the soul circuit! Gu Ning followed the instructions. The blood energy covered his soul circuit. Because this time it was the soul circuit of the ice crystal butterfly, it was blue. This had been Gu Ning¡¯s plan at the beginning. She was afraid that the Red Dragon Queen¡¯s power would still blow up the device, so he chose to bring only the crystal butterfly. The blood energy combined with the soul circuit. Gu Ning clenched his fists. Then he exerted force on his feet! The huge impact was directly focused on the device! In an instant, the number on the big screen kept increasing from zero! They kept rising! When it reached the four-digit number 999, it took another leap, and the screen actually showed an infinite number of symbols! This scene immediately shocked everyone present! What was going on? An infinite number of blood and Qi points? Logically speaking, this machine could measure all ordinary monster trainers! But now, the machine only gave an infinite number of symbols! ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this machine broken?!¡± Rex cursed, ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys say that you¡¯ve successfully upgraded the system? Why is there a problem again?!¡± One of the staff members scratched his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Principal Rex. This is indeed a little out of our expectations.¡± ¡°The machine is actually not broken. We deliberately designed the infinite symbol,¡± the leader of the staff said as he walked out. ¡°This is to prevent the machine from crashing like last time. It means that we can¡¯t continue to measure beyond this range of measurement.¡± The leader of the staff looked at Gu Ning, ¡°So, this kid named Gu Ning¡¯s blood qi level is just too high. It¡¯s so high that ordinary machines can¡¯t predict it.¡± As soon as the staff said this, the whole place was in an uproar! The Blood Qi level of an ordinary high school student¡¯s soul circuit was so high that even standard testing machines could not measure it! It was like a high school student breaking the Olympic record in Gu Ning¡¯s previous world. Gu Ning¡¯s power made the people start a heated discussion. This was the first time in a thousand years that the members of the Monster Trainer Association had held a temporary meeting because of an ordinary high school student! Standing in the middle, Gu Ning shrugged his shoulders, as if he could do whatever he wanted. However, Gu Ning was also surprised. The crystal butterfly¡¯s soul connection with her was so powerful. It seemed that the crystal butterfly¡¯s power was not to be underestimated! It made sense. After all, the crystal butterfly had used the ice storm at home because of Gu Ning¡¯s provocation! If Gu Ning had not had the help of the red dragon queen, he might not have been able to contain the resulting ice storm. The people of the Familiars Association kept on discussing. In the end, the familiars association was the real expert in the field of familiars, so they needed to discuss it. Finally, the staff nodded. They typed on the big screen and decided on a C-level potential. This was the highest level they could have in their school days. Rex was very excited: ¡°Gu Ning, did you see that? The subdued beasts association has decided on a C-level for you! Hahaha! In recent years, none of the students in Blue middle school have ever reached C-level!¡± The principal was even more excited than Gu Ning. This scene reminded Gu Ning of the old saying of the eastern countries in his original world. The emperor was never in a hurry. Moreover, Gu Ning did not think it was worth showing off. As he had said before, Gu Ning¡¯s goal was not to be a C-rank, but the strongest S-rank! Rex was still excited. ¡°I believe that you¡¯re at such a high-level that your contracted beast shouldn¡¯t be too bad. Go, start the second project!¡± Gu Ning nodded and went to the test of the contracted beast. ¡°Please summon your contracted Beast.¡± Gu Ning touched the blue butterfly tattoo on his neck and said softly, ¡°Bingbing, I know you¡¯re awake. Come out. It¡¯s time to show them your power.¡± The blue butterfly tattoo moved slightly, flapping its wings. The people of the subdued Beast Association were curious when they saw Mr. Jing, ¡°Is that a butterfly? How can a man like you be bound by a contract with a Butterfly?¡± ¡°Come on.¡±A blue light enveloped the area! The dazzling light almost blinded everyone present! What kind of contracted beast would be able to make such an appearance! By the time the light disappeared, the crystal butterfly had already flapped its wings and floated in the air. The crowd exclaimed even more loudly! Because this familiar was an adult! A fifteen-year-old Gu Ning had contracted an adult familiar! How much potential did this kid have! Principal Rex and one of the experts in the association were even more shocked. They thought to themselves, ¡°Crystal butterfly¡­? Isn¡¯t this¡­ The evolution of a millennium ice silkworm?¡± How could Gu Ning have evolved a millennium ice silkworm from the Ice Lake Mountain range!? Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The principal and the director of the Association of Familiars were confused about Gu Ning¡¯s contracted beast. Gu Ning was a child from an ordinary family. How could he have the crystal butterfly? Could it be that Gu Ning¡¯s elder had left it for him! Was Gu Ning¡¯s elder a capable person who could go all the way to the top of the Ice Lake Mountain! How could these two know that Gu Ning¡¯s contracted beast was more than just the crystal butterfly? His first contracted beast was the red dragon queen, who had reached the level of God! Besides, the process of Gu Ning capturing the millennium ice silkworm was very simple. It was his Xiao Hong that had taken him to the whole place! However, Gu Ning would not reveal these things to the principal or anyone else. It would not do him any good, only harm! Now, he only needed to make the young crystal butterfly obey his orders and complete the test of the contracted beast. Gu Ning asked the staff, ¡°Can we start now?¡± The staff indicated to the person who was operating the instrument. After the confirmation, he said to Gu Ning, ¡°We can start now.¡± ¡°There is a power measuring column in front of the contracted beast. You need to command your familiar to deal as much damage as it can within the specified time. We will rank it,¡± the staff explained. Gu Ning nodded. Then he communicated with the crystal butterfly in her mind, ¡°Bingbing, did you hear that? We¡¯re going to start the measurement. Show us your power.¡± Unexpectedly, the crystal butterfly turned her face away. She didn¡¯t say anything. She completely ignored Gu Ning! Gu Ning was stunned. This guy had really dropped the ball at the critical moment! How could she lose her temper at such a critical moment! Gu Ning guessed that the crystal butterfly must have known that the red dragon queen was not with Gu Ning at the moment. No one could stop her now! Gu Ning had no choice but to persuade her in her heart, ¡°Bing Bing, my little cutie, please help me out!¡± ¡°I¡­ Don¡¯t¡­ Test Me!¡± The crystal butterfly complained in Gu Ning¡¯s heart, ¡°You! You¡¯re so annoying!¡± ¡°You¡¯re my master, but you always throw me into the breeding space. You make me angry. You make me weak, and then you test me again!¡± ¡°Ah! I hate you! I won¡¯t listen to you anymore!¡± Hearing that, Gu Ning could not help smiling bitterly. He did not expect his usual joke to have hurt the crystal butterfly so much. Gu Ning did not know who had told her that of all the creatures in the world, as long as they were female and could communicate with each other, only needed to do one thing to solve the problem, and that was to coax them! Therefore, Gu Ning kept trying to persuade the butterfly in his heart. He used his own knowledge and started to throw different apologies at it one after another! Finally, after two minutes of Gu Ning¡¯s literary criticism, the butterfly finally calmed down. She said, ¡°I forgive you for now.¡± Then she added, ¡°If you force me to do something again and again, I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll never breathe again! I¡¯ll suffocate myself to death!¡± Gu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only agree to it in his heart. Everyone was also confused. Why was Gu Ning staying on the stage alone, crying and laughing at the same time? They did not even think that Gu Ning was asking for his beast to cooperate. Because in the eyes of the people who had grown up with their beasts and had developed a relationship with them before the contract was signed, the contracted beast would always listen to its master. People would never remember Gu Ning being rejected by his contracted beast. The crystal butterfly was still angry, but Gu Ning had already apologized. She could not do anything to Gu Ning, so she could only focus on the test pillar! The young crystal butterfly flapped its wings and summoned countless ice blades floating in the air. Then, it started to slash the test pillar with the ice blades! Countless ice blades seemed to be wielded by people with countless arms. The test pillar was cut into many pieces. The ear-piercing sound echoed in the whole room! The number on the test pillar kept increasing! It was like the scene of a player farming monsters in an MMORPG! This scene lasted for a full ten minutes! When the staff announced the end of the time and the juvenile crystal butterfly stopped attacking, the test pillar was already emitting waves of smoke. The density of the juvenile crystal butterfly¡¯s attacks was so high that not even the self-repairing test pillar could recover! After the test ended, everyone looked at the numbers displayed on the test pillar. In an instant, everyone was amazed once again! They had been in a daze for a full two minutes, but the damage dealt by the crystal butterfly was actually the highest in history!!! This meant that the crystal butterfly¡¯s level was the highest in the entire Blue high school, or even the entire history of the entire high school! The members of the subdued Beast Association continued their discussion about the crystal butterfly. The evaluation method of a contract beast was different from that of a contract beast. The grade of a contract beast was determined by its talent, combat ability, growth speed, and the level of its trainer. Therefore, the crystal butterfly, which had almost reached the top of the list, was given the highest evaluation in the history of the students by the Association! ¡°The evaluation result is out,¡± the staff reported. ¡°Gu Ning, the potential level of your familiar is¡­ A-level!¡± A-level! It was only a little lower than an S-level, but it was still good enough! After suffering a lot, Gu Ning praised the crystal butterfly in his heart, in case she was going to be naughty again later. Hearing Gu Ning¡¯s praise, the crystal butterfly only replied with a ¡°Humph!¡± Gu Ning could not help but smile bitterly. The test was over. Gu Ning was ready to leave. However, when Gu Ning had just walked a few steps, she suddenly heard someone call out to him, ¡°Gu Ning! Please wait!¡± Gu Ning turned around and saw that the person was wearing the clothes of the Familiars Association. After calling Gu Ning, the man started to introduce himself, ¡°Hello, Gu Ning. I¡¯m Gou Long, the vice president of the Familiars Association.¡± Seeing the man extend his hand, Gu Ning took his hand out of respect and asked, ¡°Hello, what can I do for you?¡± Gou Long went straight to the point, ¡°Well, we¡¯ve just witnessed the level of your beast trainer and the potential of your contracted beast. We¡¯re very impressed. ¡°So, we¡¯d like to invite you.¡± Gou Long took out an invitation letter from his pocket, ¡°We hope you can join our Familiars Association.¡± ¡°The Familiars Association invited me?¡± Gu Ning was a bit surprised, ¡°But I¡¯m only 15 years old. Would your Familiars Association really invite someone my age?¡± Gou Long said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how old you are, only talented people get invited. You, on the other hand, are a talented person!¡± At that moment, Principal Rex appeared beside Gu Ning. ¡°That¡¯s not right. Gu Ning hasn¡¯t graduated from high school yet. Let¡¯s wait until he graduates.¡± Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°But, principal Rex, it doesn¡¯t matter whether the talented one is a graduate or not.¡± Gou Long tried to convince principal Rex. The principal waved his hand and said, ¡°Gu Ning still has much to learn in school. We can¡¯t rush him into this. Let¡¯s go. Gu Ning, I¡¯ll take you home.¡± Gu Ning was taken away by the principal. He got into the principal¡¯s car. At that moment, the principal said sternly, ¡°Those guys are dreaming! They know you¡¯re a genius. We must keep our people for ourselves.¡± Gu Ning smiled bitterly. After that, Gu Ning went home with the principal. The principal, Rex, also told Gu Ning not to think about the Familiars¡¯ Association anymore. Rex promised that as long as Gu Ning graduated from school and made Blue High School famous, the principal would arrange a good career path for Gu Ning! It would be much better than the stupid arrangement of the Familiar Association! Gu Ning only smiled in response. After that, Gu Ning went home. The next day was the weekend, so he did not have to go to school. Gu Ning had planned to sleep until noon, but the red dragon queen woke him up at eight o¡¯clock in the morning! Gu Ning rubbed his eyes and asked, ¡°Xiao Hong¡­ What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the weekend, right, master?¡± The red dragon queen¡¯s eyes lit up. Gu Ning nodded. The Red Dragon Queen jumped on the spot and said, ¡°Great! Master! Let¡¯s go shopping!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Gu Ning was confused. ¡°Shopping? What do you want? Food?¡± The Red Dragon Queen shook her head. Then she saw the news in Gu Ning¡¯s area on her phone. It turned out that there was a new Dada Plaza nearby. It was open for business and had 30% discount on all drinks! The red dragon queen said with bright eyes, ¡°Xiao Hong wants to buy clothes, master!¡± Gu Ning put his hand on his forehead with a bitter smile. As expected, all women liked to buy clothes! Even the 100,000-year-old red dragon queen was not exempt from this rule! Thus, Gu Ning took the red dragon queen to go shopping! ¡°Wow, what¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Ah! It smells so good!¡± ¡°Eh? This is so interesting!¡± The red dragon queen sighed at the beautiful buildings and scenery like a child. She paced around the shops as if her age had suddenly regressed by tens of thousands. But Gu Ning could understand. After all, she had lived in the foreign world for 100,000 years! How could she have time to go shopping! Not to mention, she had never seen such luxurious and novel things before. Gu Ning felt sorry for her. After all, these things were only normal things in human society. Therefore, Gu Ning and the red dragon queen played with everything. In less than an hour, Gu Ning¡¯s allowance in the payment equipment had been reduced. After all, it was impossible to guess what a girl was thinking. Therefore, shopping must contain a lot of things. Gu Ning felt he could no longer continue shopping. He had to buy clothes! Gu Ning wanted to help the red dragon queen choose clothes, but the red dragon queen insisted on doing it herself. ¡°Well, you can choose the clothes you like. You¡¯re welcome. Your owner will pay.¡± Gu Ning patted his chest! Then he felt sorry for her. Then, the red dragon queen rushed into the clothing store. The red dragon queen soon found a shop and locked onto one of the clothes. ¡°Boss, how much is it?¡± ¡°Little girl, you really have good taste!¡± The boss, who was wearing a suit, could not hide his cunning expression. When he saw the red dragon queen, he grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. ¡°This set of clothes is imported from Japan, Lolita-styled. Normally, it is sold at a sky-high price! Moreover, there is often a shortage of supply. Many people could not buy it even if they had money!¡± ¡°But today is different. Today, we are opening with huge promotions. This set of clothes, which originally cost 1,254 yuan, will be sold to you today at 654 yuan. Yes! You did not hear wrong. The price would be reduced by 600 yuan immediately!¡± After hearing the series of words from the boss, the red dragon queen only paused expressionlessly for a minute, then said, ¡°You said it very well.¡± The boss beamed with joy. ¡°So sell it to me at 54 yuan.¡± The Boss¡¯ face began to twitch, but he still forced a smile. The boss said seriously, ¡°Little sister, our shop is a century-old shop. We are not here to make you happy. ¡°You have to understand that this isn¡¯t something that can be bought casually on the market. Just the workmanship alone is definitely worth more than its price tag!¡± The red dragon queen looked at the set of clothes in her hands carefully before she raised her head to look at the boss again. ¡°Then it¡¯s 64.¡± ¡°No? Then I don¡¯t want it.¡± After saying this, the red dragon queen turned around decisively and left. Her back view was so elegant that Gu Ning could not help but worship her. ¡°Really? You don¡¯t want it anymore? I think it looks pretty good.¡± Gu Ning followed the red dragon queen and asked. The red dragon queen did not stop. She answered Gu Ning gently. She looked confident as if she had already planned it out. ¡°I know. I want it myself.¡± ¡°Then how did you¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He¡¯ll catch up to us,¡± the red dragon queen said confidently. Gu Ning was a bit suspicious at first. ¡°Huh? How can that be¡­¡± ¡°Little girl! Little girl! 74 it is!¡± Just as Gu Ning was about to refute the red dragon queen, the owner of the clothing store called out to the red dragon queen loudly. It was as if the red dragon queen would have disappeared in two or three minutes. The red dragon queen immediately stopped and turned around. When she turned around, Gu Ning could still see a subtle smile on her face. Gu Ning was surprised. She was really good at bargaining! It turned out that although the red dragon queen did not know how humans did things, she had also learned how to bargain. She had maxed out her skills. After walking out of the mall, the red dragon queen asked Gu Ning to carry her bag with satisfaction. She smiled like a child who had just bought a toy. At this moment, Gu Ning suddenly saw a deformed person with a body defect. His left foot was folded, revealing his small bones to support the floor. He was walking with his other leg. The passengers in the shopping mall started to run away. All of a sudden, the crowd in the shopping mall became chaotic! ¡°That¡¯s the price of being bad for your familiar.¡± The smile on the red dragon queen¡¯s face disappeared, and she became serious. ¡°Is that deformed man also a familiar himself?¡± Gu Ning asked. The red dragon queen nodded, ¡°A familiar, almost at the secondary level.¡± Secondary level? Gu Ning looked up at the deformed man who was slowing down. Black sticky liquid was still flowing out of his mouth. He felt strange. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The deformed familiar staggered to Gu Ning and suddenly fell to the ground. The familiar fell to the ground and was about to die. Gu Ning thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a scam.¡± However, Gu Ning dispelled his doubts in the next second, because the familiar who was lying on the ground suddenly stood up. Gu Ning took a closer look. The eyes of the familiar were like the eyes of a snake. Its fangs were slowly protruding from its crooked teeth, and its body was covered with scales. Gu Ning felt very strange. The red dragon queen behind her became a bit serious. She said, ¡°It¡¯s starting to devour its Master!¡± Although its body was twisted, the familiar did not slow down. It could still run! It nimbly charged at one of the pedestrians and threw a punch! The pedestrian was knocked down by the familiar, and he looked at the familiar in horror. Then, the familiar roared like a wild beast and jumped onto his body, starting to bite him like a tiger biting its prey! After the poor pedestrian¡¯s skeleton was gnawed by the familiar, his body became more and more twisted! One of the passersby shouted, ¡°Run! It¡¯s yet to fully transform! If we don¡¯t run now, we¡¯ll all die!!!¡± As soon as the passerby finished his sentence, the familiar roared and rushed toward the shouting passerby, ripping his body open! Blood splattered everywhere! Some of the passersby fled in all directions, some were so scared that they stood still, and some fainted on the spot. The mutated familiar charged at one pedestrian after another at an agile speed, stirring up a bloody storm! During the process of the massacre, the body of the familiar became swollen, and its size increased severalfold! There was even something constantly squirming in its stomach, as if something was drilling inside his body! Then, a huge worm-like object suddenly popped out of the familiar¡¯s mouth! That worm kept popping out, and the monster trainer¡¯s stomach shrunk a little with every meter it extended. After the beaing came out of the familiar¡¯s mouth, the familiar fell to the ground like a dried corpse. The huge worm-like beast¡¯s head popped out of the worm¡¯s body ¡ª it was a snake¡¯s head! The snake that came out of the monster trainer looked at the body of the familiar. It opened its mouth and swallowed the familiar without saying a word! The people around kept vomiting. It was even more disgusting than a Hollywood horror movie! Gu Ning did not feel anything. It was not as disgusting as the movies he had seen on Earth. Gu Ning crossed his arms in front of his chest, ¡°Did this man always abuse his familiar when he was its master?¡± ¡°Yes, so please don¡¯t abuse Xiao Hong,¡± the red dragon queen said. Gu Ning answered directly, ¡°How could I do that?¡± However, Gu Ning also thought that he should treat Bing Bing better in the future. Otherwise, he didn¡¯t know if he would suddenly grow wings and die. After the snake swallowed the dried corpse, its body shape changed again! The snake, which was only the size of a python, gradually became as tall as a building! The snake stuck out its tongue and opened its bloody mouth from time to time, scaring the passersby away. Of course, the snake also kept devouring the passersby, as if the shopping mall had become its canteen. Suddenly, a passerby in tight clothes walked out with his head held high and chest puffed out. ¡°Damn monster! Let me defeat you!¡± As he spoke, he constructed a soul circuit. He could clearly see the image of a wolf on the surface of his body. After the Blood Qi entered the soul circuit, his body suddenly burst into flames. He shouted loudly and threw a fiery fist at the giant snake! However, the huge snake did not even glance at him. It swung its tail and produced a shockwave! The shockwave from the huge snake sent the man, who was covered in flames, flying a few meters away. He was thrown heavily to the ground, and then fell to the side , unconscious. At this moment, the red dragon queen muttered, ¡°Overestimating yourself. If a familiar raised by another familiar devours its master, its strength and level would be several times stronger than before. ¡°For example, a familiar that used to be a servant would directly evolve to a commander level after devouring its master. That guy is now a subordinate.¡± Gu Ning was a bit surprised, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a familiar to be able to upgrade itself by several levels after devouring its master. How badly did the familiar have to suffer?¡± The red dragon queen turned to Gu Ning. ¡°The worse the monster has been tortured, the stronger the monster¡¯s resentment will be.¡± ¡°As a result, the monster will level up with resentment after devouring its master.¡± The red dragon queen paused for a second, then she said, ¡°The stronger the resentment, the stronger the monster will be. Although the level of the monster is the same as the level of the familiar, it¡¯s more powerful than a normal upgraded monster. In other words, even a man-made C-rank monster can¡¯t be stronger than it.¡± ¡°This guy is already at C-rank?¡± Gu Ning was still surprised. After all, although he was much stronger than that guy who was only at C-rank, C-rank familiars were still very rare. The guy who was at B-rank had been blown away by the snake without even touching the snake. It was obvious that the snake was indeed powerful! Gu Ning thought to himself, ¡°Alas, it¡¯s unlucky that I¡¯ve been involved in this with Xiao Hong.¡± The red dragon queen looked at Gu Ning and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master. With Xiao Hong Here, I won¡¯t let the snake touch you at all.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not afraid of him. I¡¯m just unhappy that he has interrupted my shopping.¡± Gu Ning looked at the red dragon queen and smiled, ¡°After all, it¡¯s Xiao Hong¡¯s first time shopping. It was a very memorable day for me.¡± The red dragon queen, who had lived for 100,000 years, blushed when she heard Gu Ning¡¯s words. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, ¡°Why are those two kids still standing there? Why aren¡¯t they running?¡± The snake turned its head to Gu Ning and the Red Dragon Queen. The snake started to move slowly, opening its bloody mouth to swallow them. Gu Ning looked at the snake coldly, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, Don¡¯t blame me for beating you up!¡± Suddenly, there was some noise from the outside! Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At that moment, the door of the shopping mall suddenly opened. Some people in black clothes and armed to the teeth with weapons rushed in. Without saying anything, they shot the snake in the mouth! The snake, which was about to swallow Gu Ning, was knocked back a few steps. Then, someone came to take Gu Ning and the red dragon queen away from the place. One of the leaders shouted, ¡°The murderer is here! Calm down!¡± The leader shouted, ¡°Team One, go to Area A to evacuate people! Team Two, go to Area B to evacuate people! Team Three, maintain order! The rest, follow me!¡± The passersby saw the group of men in black. They all had hopeful looks on their faces. Some people shouted, ¡°The city guardians are here! We¡¯re saved!¡± Seeing this, Gu Ning nodded and said, ¡°The city guardians seem quite efficient.¡± In the Blue Planet, the city guardian was like the police of Gu Ning¡¯s Earth. There were many departments in the city, and the city guardians were one of them. As the name suggested, the department specialized in dealing with mutated familiars, which was equivalent to the armed police in Gu Ning¡¯s life on Earth. The leader of the department was the slayer, Deng Wang. Deng Wang pulled out his weapon, a long blue knife, and said to the people behind him, ¡°Watch your fire. I¡¯m heading in!¡± The people behind him nodded. Without any hesitation, they quickly set their weapons up and aimed at the snake! Deng Wang held his long blade in his right hand and constructed soul circuits in his left and right hands! After a blue light lit up, Deng Wang leaped and slashed at the snake! In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck! The snake did not even look at him. Just like the fire man from the beginning, he swung his tail and released a shockwave! However, the shockwave did not cause any damage to Deng Wang! Because Deng Wang¡¯s contracted beast, the Thunder Bear, was one of the strongest familiars in terms of defense. It had reached commander-level! Therefore, after Deng Wang constructed the soul circuit, his body would become almost invincible! Thus, when Deng Wang slashed the snake¡¯s body, he heard a sound like that of forging iron ¨C that slash actually did not cause any damage to the snake at all! Deng Wang frowned, raised his hand again to coil up the electric current, and chopped again! The sound of iron being hammered was still the same. The snake stuck out its tongue, as if it was mocking Deng Wang¡¯s blade for not even being qualified to scratch its itch. Deng Wang¡¯s blade was called the blade of electric spring. It was a treasured blade that his grandmaster had experienced many difficulties in some ancient ruins, and finally found in the dark stream inside! Wherever this blade passed by, it cut iron like shoveling mud and cut mountains like cutting paper! Through the hands of the division chief who had eliminated the murderers for several generations, the blade was still as sharp as ever after many battles! However, this blade was unable to cut open this huge snake. Deng Wang¡¯s face darkened. He immediately shouted, ¡°Everyone, open fire!!¡± Those men in black did not hesitate to take out their crossbows and loaded them with arrows. They immediately shot them out. However, they discovered that their bolts had indeed been fired, but when they hit the snake, they bounced back! Some of the bolts even bounced back, hitting their own team members! Fortunately, crossbow bolts were only effective against familiars. At most, they would only scratch the skin of humans. Otherwise, if the bolts bounced back, that team member would definitely have been killed! But their crossbow arrows were useless against this behemoth! The snake rubbed its tail against its body, opened its bloody mouth, and began to roar! The snake began to move in front of the team members who were shooting, and directly bit all the team members in front of it! The bodies of the team members who were bitten immediately turned into two. When the snake¡¯s head was raised, only a few broken legs were left on the ground. Deng Wang looked at the scene and took out his walkie-talkie. He shouted into the microphone, ¡°Attention, all teams, leave half of your people behind to evacuate the crowd. The rest of you, quickly assist me! Give me covering fire!¡± Hence, the walkie-talkie replied with ¡°Team 1 received, Team 2 received, Team 3 received.¡±. In a short while, half of the members of each team came over. They aimed their crossbows at the snake and began to fire. However, this action was futile for the snake. After all, the crossbow bolts did not harm it at all. Deng Wang saw that these crossbow bolts could not do anything to the snake, and he was a little anxious. However, he also thought of a countermeasure. Deng Wang took out his walkie-talkie again and shouted, ¡°All teams, spread out! Emergency team, prepare to use the highest grade weapon!¡± Suddenly, a team member beside Deng Wang said, ¡°Director, do we really need to use a C-grade weapon to deal with it?¡± Deng Wang smacked his head and said, ¡°Look at this situation! is our ordinary exorcism crossbow doing anything?¡± That team member held his head and did not say anything else. After a short while, a cannon was pushed in. It was more like a giant laser gun. There was a slight electric current surrounding the muzzle of the cannon. When Deng Wang saw the cannon, he immediately ordered, ¡°Emergency team, pay attention! Listen to my command! Prepare to fire!¡± The giant snake naturally saw this cannon too. It was sticking out its tongue, as if it was provoking the exterminators¡¯ C-grade weapon. Deng Wang shouted, ¡°Three, two, one, fire!!!!¡± The huge laser gun immediately gathered its charge and shot out a red laser. The laser hit the snake¡¯s body and caused a violent explosion. For a moment, a thick fog filled the air. Deng Wang and the members of his team covered their eyes with their hands. After all, the strong red light from the laser could indeed blind their eyes. Of course, the thick fog after the explosion would not dissipate. Firstly, it was obvious how powerful this weapon was. Secondly, this highest-level weapon would block their line of sight after being used. Deng Wang shouted, ¡°Attention all members! Put on your gas masks! Dispose of the snake¡¯s corpse!¡± The members of the anti-murderer Department put on their gas masks and began to search for the snake¡¯s corpse in the thick smoke. Suddenly, a scream was heard in the thick smoke. A few seconds later, a muffled sound was heard on the floor. Deng Wang immediately felt that something was wrong and stopped his troops. A snake¡¯s tail suddenly stretched out from the thick smoke and directly threw Deng Wang and the other team members who were beside him a distance away. Deng Wang and the other team members who were sent flying all constructed soul circuits on their legs and landed steadily on the ground. They saw the huge snake darting out from the thick smoke, with a wound that looked like it had simply been scratched. Deng Wang shouted, ¡°The huge snake is not dead! Everyone, get into battle mode immediately!¡± The exterminators were all terrified. This huge snake was really too powerful! Even C-grade weapons were almost useless against it, let alone fighting it. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Deng Wang looked at the snake that was almost completely unharmed. Although he was a little uncertain, he still maintained the calmness that a professional killer should have. He immediately shouted, ¡°There¡¯s no time. Team 1,2, and 3, listen up! Quickly evacuate the injured. The emergency team will evacuate the people who are still in the mall with the rest of the team! I¡¯ll hold it off!¡± One of the mid-ranked team members heard this and could not sit still. he shouted, ¡°If the director doesn¡¯t leave, we won¡¯t leave either!¡± Deng Wang was anxious and immediately shouted, ¡°Retreat if I tell you to! The people from the extermination force must listen to my orders! If you don¡¯t listen to me, you will be punished by military law!¡± The people from Team 1,2, and 3 could only listen to the order resentfully and evacuate the injured. When Deng Wang and the rest of the people from the extermination division retreated, he subconsciously covered his left arm. In order to defend against the huge snake, he had already used up a lot of his strength. If this continued, he might not even be able to summon his familiars. Therefore, Deng Wang thought to himself, ¡°In any case, what does my life even mean. I¡¯ve survived so many battles, so why should I care about my life?¡± Then, Deng Wang immediately constructed his own soul circuit. He quickly took off his clothes, revealing his muscular body that he had trained as a veteran. His tattoo was on his chest, so he had to take off his clothes every time to summon it. In an instant, a giant bear covered in lightning jumped out and roared at the sky. A man, a bear, and a giant snake faced each other, as if they were having a final battle. Deng Wang said to the bear, ¡°Da Lui, the rest is up to you!¡± The giant bear stretched out its claws and pawed the ground twice. It nodded and immediately rushed toward the giant snake. Deng Wang¡¯s familiar was a thunder war bear. It was a thunder-type familiar. Of course, its strength was not something an ordinary familiar could compare to. Therefore, he did not summon this familiar often. Usually, he only used the electric spring blade to fight. After all, his familiar had almost shattered his electric spring blade during a mission. As long as it was not a particularly difficult situation, he would not summon his familiar casually. After all, with Deng Wang¡¯s long-term companionship and hard training, his familiar had already reached the level of a commander. When the thunder war bear rushed out, it stretched out its claws and swatted at the snake. If it were any other familiar, its soul would have been destroyed by this strike. However, its opponent was the snake, which was stronger than a commander-level monster. That strike did indeed leave a palm print on the snake. The snake was indeed sent flying and smashed into the wall of the shopping mall. The thunder war bear landed steadily and looked at Deng Wang. Deng Wang walked over and patted the thunder war bear¡¯s body. He smiled and said, ¡°Da Lui, well done. Go back and eat meat!¡± The moment Da Lui heard the words ¡®eat meat¡¯, he licked his paws excitedly. In less than a few seconds, a black shadow dashed out from the wall that had just been shattered and bit Da Lui. The black shadow was the huge snake that had been sent flying. The huge snake bit Da Lui¡¯s body hard. Da Lui felt the pain, but his other claw also hit the huge snake. It seemed that this time, it had really angered the snake. But no matter how Da Lui struck the snake, the snake refused to let go. The snake seemed to be absorbing something from the bite ¡ª its stomach was moving. Da Lui was about to die, so Deng Wang quickly put Da Lui back into his tattoo. But the snake went crazy. It rushed at Deng Wang like crazy. Deng Wang was about to be swallowed by the snake. He retreated a few steps and fell down. Suddenly, a laser flew over. The emergency response team wheeled the cannon in. The emergency response team shouted, ¡°Director, retreat! Our emergency response team will cover the rear!¡± Deng Wang immediately shouted at them, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to retreat? Why are you still here!¡± The people from the emergency response team replied, ¡°We kept telling this little kid to leave, but he didn¡¯t listen and insisted on staying.¡± Deng Wang was a little flustered, ¡°A bunch of bastards! iI that person the department head or am I the department head! Why did you do that when I told you to evacuate the crowd!?¡± That little kid dashed out from the crowd of the emergency response team and said to Deng Wang, ¡°The dignified Department head could not simply abandon his companions and die alone, could he?¡± The little kid put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked toward the big snake. Deng Wang lay on the ground and watched the little kid walk toward the big snake. He immediately tried to get up. Deng Wang shouted, ¡°Run! An ordinary kid like you can¡¯t beat this commander-level fierce beast!¡± The little kid constructed his own soul circuit and said to Deng Wang, ¡°An ordinary kid really can¡¯t beat it.¡± After the young man finished building his own soul circuit, his hands started to burn. The young man then said, ¡°But I¡¯m not an ordinary kid!¡± That¡¯s right. The one who had gone up to fight the snake was none other than Gu Ning. The snake looked at Gu Ning coldly, then opened its bloody mouth and rushed at him! At the same time, Gu Ning¡¯s soul circuit had surrounded his entire body! The hot air wrapped around him. He was like a giant bomb! ¡°You Want to challenge me? Are you qualified?¡± Gu Ning clenched his fists. He was completely wrapped in flames. He spun once and the ground cracked! He was launched into the air! He threw a punch at the snake! The snake did not even have time to dodge. When Gu Ning hit it, it was sent flying away! A strong wind blew around! ¡°Argh!¡± The snake fell directly from the center of the shopping mall. It broke the walls one by one. Its body was burning at a speed visible to the naked eye! When the people from the exterminator¡¯s department saw this scene, they couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This¡­ how is this possible!?¡± The group of pedestrians began to discuss among themselves: ¡°Oh my God! He killed a fierce beast that even the exterminator¡¯s department couldn¡¯t handle with one punch!¡± ¡°Yeah! Who Is this kid? Why is he so strong?¡± ¡°Could he be some A-class monster trainer with dwarfism?!¡± The team members who were evacuating the rest of the people immediately went to check on the snake. They found that there was no snake left, only a pile of snake-shaped ashes! Everyone was shocked. The evacuees forgot to evacuate the people, and the evacuees forgot to evacuate the team members. Deng Wang¡¯s jaw almost dropped to the ground like everyone else. Seeing the snake dead, Gu Ning turned around and left. Deng Wang did not have time to ask his team members to evacuate. He caught up to Gu Ning. Deng Wang patted him and said, ¡°Young man, who are you¡­ ?¡± Gu Ning only replied with a few words, ¡°I¡¯m just a passing high school student.¡± After that, he left. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After leaving the crowd¡¯s sight, Gu Ning walked quickly to the red dragon queen who was carrying a bag. He smiled. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Hong. You¡¯ve been waiting for me for five minutes with your clothes.¡± One could only wonder how they would have felt if they saw the mysterious young man who had killed the C-level familiar with one punch being so gentle to his own. When Gu Ning took the clothes, Xiao Hong was still a little shy. ¡°It¡¯s okay. My master bought these clothes for me. It¡¯s only right for me to take them.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Gu Ning refused. ¡°I bought these clothes for Xiao Hong, but before Xiao Hong wears them, I have to take them. It¡¯s called being a gentleman!¡± Gu Ning¡¯s words made the queen of the red dragons embarrassed again. In the end, they got a ride home. Gu Ning and the red dragon queen went back home. As soon as they opened the door, they almost burst out crying, but had no tears to spare. The Crystal Butterfly, which Gu Ning had left at home, was watching TV with a big bag of potato chips in front of the TV. She was wearing Gu Ning¡¯s clothes! The crystal butterfly was small, but Gu Ning¡¯s clothes were all loose and baggy on her, which made the crystal butterfly look funny. At the same time, the crystal butterfly looked more like Gu Ning¡¯s sister than his second contracted beast. Of course, that was only until the crystal butterfly said something. When the crystal butterfly saw Gu Ning coming back, she suddenly showed a frightened expression and hid behind the sofa. Gu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. What the hell? I¡¯m your master! Why are you looking at me like your master would roast his contracted beast?! Gu Ning smiled to himself. ¡°You¡­ stay away from me!¡± The young crystal butterfly said. Upon hearing the young crystal butterfly being rude, the red dragon queen rolled up her sleeves and wanted to teach her a lesson, ¡°How dare you talk to my master like that? Do you want to die?¡± Seeing this, the young crystal butterfly immediately jumped up like a frightened kitten. She shouted while running, ¡°You¡¯re going to torture me! A monster trainer is going to torture a familiar! Help!¡± Gu Ning suddenly felt that what the crystal butterfly was shouting sounded familiar. He looked at the TV screen. He finally understood. He smiled bitterly: ¡°Bingbing, did you see the mutated familiar on the news just now? You knew it was the monster trainer who had turned violent. You were afraid that I would torture you and make you become like that?¡± The Crystal Butterfly hid behind the door, only showing her poker face. She said timidly, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of your torture! You¡¯ve been torturing me! ¡°Verbal attacks, mental torture. You keep forcing me to do this and that. One day, you¡¯ll definitely put your claws on my body and torture me physically!¡± Gu Ning held his forehead slightly. ¡°You¡¯re scared, but you¡¯re being over the top.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care! I don¡¯t care!¡± The crystal butterfly started to roll on the ground. ¡°I don¡¯t want to become an ugly snake that only knows how to eat people after being abused by you!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t stop, I¡¯ll slap you!¡± The red dragon queen raised her hand and the crystal butterfly immediately quieted down, but she still looked at Gu Ning pitifully. ¡°Why do I feel like I have a daughter?¡± Gu Ning complained. The Red Dragon Queen shrugged her shoulders and said, ¡°A 10,000-year-old girl is always like this. She¡¯s very different from a 100,000-year-old woman like me.¡± Hearing that, Gu Ning agreed with the red dragon queen. He said, ¡°It turns out that you haven¡¯t experienced much.¡± The crystal butterfly heard the conversation between Gu Ning and the red dragon queen. She opened her eyes wide and looked at them: ¡°What do you mean? Do you want me to go back to the breeding space where I was tortured?¡± The crystal butterfly immediately hugged Gu Ning¡¯s thigh. She said pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Master. I don¡¯t want to go back to that breeding space. I won¡¯t do that again.¡± Gu Ning rejected the crystal butterfly mercilessly. ¡°It¡¯s too late now. You¡¯d better go back and train. Change your bad temper and come back.¡± ¡°The breeding place is currently empty. Please choose your target.¡± ¡°Crystal Butterfly, to be trained for 1,000 years,¡± Gu Ning said. ¡°Target confirmed: Crystal Butterfly.¡± ¡°Breeding space: God¡¯s world.¡± ¡°Breeding time: 1,000 years.¡± ¡°Triggered increase. Breeding time X20. Revised to 20,000 years.¡± Gu Ning was surprised. ¡°So it¡¯s 20,000 years this time. It¡¯s okay. It¡¯ll be 30,000 years old when it comes out. Its bad temper would probably be worn away.¡± ¡°Start to cultivate¡­¡± After the system finished the upgrade, a circle of light swallowed the Crystal Butterfly. Before the crystal butterfly disappeared, Gu Ning could still hear her last words, ¡°I hate you¡­¡± Gu Ning clapped his hands, stretched, and washed up . He had Xiao Hong return to his body to be tattooed as a familiar, and then had a good sleep. The next day, Gu Ning stayed at home for the whole day. Gu Ning and the red dragon queen spent the weekend like this. However, Gu Ning did not know that the news about the mutated familiar was still spreading. The crowd and the people who had read the news were all wondering who the boy who claimed to be a passing high school student was. Even the head of the City Guardian headquarters asked Deng Wang, the director of the department responsible for the extermination of the familiar, to find the boy. However, Deng Wang did not even know the name of the boy. He did not see Gu Ning¡¯s face clearly during the fight. The only clue was the last sentence he said, ¡°I¡¯m just a passing high school student.¡± He had mentioned that he was a high school student. Gu Ning got up and washed up as usual, then went to the bus. He found that the TV was still playing the replay of his punch from that day. ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t announce my name at that time. Otherwise, I would have been in a lot of trouble,¡± Gu Ning thought to himself. Then he stood on the bus like a passer-by, holding his bag. When they arrived at school, the students were also discussing about it. Gu Ning sat at the single table in the new seat arranged by Wang Chao. He did not pay any attention to their speculations. He just looked out of the window with his hand supporting his head. At this moment, Wang Chao came in, but he was not here to teach. Instead, he walked to Gu Ning and said to him, ¡°The principal wants you to go to his office.¡± Gu Ning nodded and left his seat. The others thought that Gu Ning had done something wrong and was called to talk by the principal. However, Gu Ning did not know why the principal had asked him to go to his office. The test should be over by now. As soon as Gu Ning walked to the door of the principal¡¯s office, he saw a familiar figure. He asked subconsciously, ¡°Hey, is that you?¡± Deng Wang was surprised to see Gu Ning. He said, ¡°I finally found you! So you¡¯re a high school student here!¡± Chapter 21 Deng Wang was overjoyed when he saw Gu Ning. He walked to Gu Ning excitedly and held his hand, ¡°It¡¯s really you. I¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time!¡± Deng Wang was not lying. He had indeed been looking for Gu Ning for a long time! He had been to all the high schools in the area! Gu Ning never expected Deng Wang to say something like this. ¡°I¡¯m just a passing high school student. Why would he try so hard to find me!?¡± Deng Wang shook hands with Gu Ning excitedly, which made Gu Ning feel awkward as if they had once fought together in a world war. Gu Ning could only smile and reply, ¡°Haha, hello, hello. There were too many people last time, so I didn¡¯t want to reveal my identity.¡± Gu Ning and Deng Wang¡¯s actions also confused the principal. What was going on? How could any student in his school be related to the slayer himself? Could someone in Gu Ning¡¯s family be a high-ranking member of the exterminators, so they sent people in to look out for him? When Deng Wang came to the principal, Rex, he had only asked for all the students¡¯ records for an investigation. At that time, Rex had thought that it was just a routine check. However, as soon as he took out the file, Gu Ning, who had been summoned, showed up. Deng Wang, who was holding Gu Ning¡¯s hand, was still excited. He kept saying, ¡°It was all thanks to you that we killed the grade-C mutated familiar! We saved the whole city! ¡°When we were facing the snake, we had already lost a lot of people. If you hadn¡¯t shown up, we wouldn¡¯t know how to deal with it!¡± ¡°It was nothing. It was nothing.¡± Gu Ning said casually, ¡°In fact, it was all thanks to you that he was already seriously injured. I was just lucky enough to give him a fatal blow at the critical moment.¡± Gu Ning kept waving his hands to show Deng Wang that he was not that good. He was just lucky enough to get the last hit in. However, Deng Wang, who had fought with the snake himself, knew that their team had not even broken the snake¡¯s skin. Gu Ning had killed the snake with a single punch! They both praised and humbled each other. ¡°In short, you¡¯ve helped us a lot. We¡¯ll definitely reward you! Give us the card number later. The Finance Department will allocate one million beast crystals for you!¡± Beast crystals were the common currency of the entire Blue planet. They were extracted from the bodies of beasts by scientists. They could be used by contracted beasts to upgrade themselves! They could also be used in building materials, human herbs, machine energy, and so on. Over time, on the Blue Planet, Beast Crystals had become the only common currency instead of gold and silver treasures! When Gu Ning heard Deng Wang say that he was to be rewarded, he was excited, ¡°Although it¡¯s easy to maintain social order, since you insist on giving me money, I have no choice but to accept it.¡± ¡°Okay!¡±Deng Wang started to introduce himself. ¡°My name is Deng Wang, the director of the Exterminators in this city. May I know your name?¡± ¡°Gu Ning, I¡¯m a freshman at Blue High School. This is my card number.¡± Gu Ning also gave him his identity and card number. Rex, the principal, was not a fool. Hearing this, he recalled the recent news about the fierce attack of the familiar and the mysterious rumors about the high school students. ¡°Gu Ning, so you¡¯re the one-punch high school student in the news about the mutated beast!¡± Rex said. Before Gu Ning could react, Deng Wang was the first to be confused, ¡°Didn¡¯t you know? This student could easily defeat a C-class enemy. I thought he had been the focus of the school for a long time.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t pour your resources into him after reading the news?¡± Deng Wang asked in disbelief. Rex was surprised by Deng Wang¡¯s question. How could Gu Ning defeat a C-level beast with only one punch? He really did not know! Although Gu Ning had been performing well recently in both the test and the fight with the Bai Brothers, Rex had not expected Gu Ning to defeat a C-level beast! Gu Ning, who had a high EQ, jumped out to explain, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m a low-key person, so no one knew of my real strength.¡± Deng Wang nodded and said to Rex, ¡°Now you know that Deng Wang is the high school student in the news, but you have to keep it a secret. It¡¯s mandatory by the Exterminators.¡± Rex answered, ¡°I¡¯ll keep it a secret even if you don¡¯t tell me! Gu Ning just went to test himself out. The Familiars¡¯ Association is here to poach Gu Ning. I won¡¯t tell anyone about it!¡± Hearing that, Deng Wang suddenly paused, ¡°About the poaching¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the Exterminators¡¯ Department wants to poach Gu Ning as well?¡± Rex was shocked. Deng Wang nodded, then turned to Gu Ning and said, ¡°Mr. Gu Ning, I, Deng Wang, Director of the Exterminators¡¯ Department in this city, would like to invite you to be a member of the Exterminators¡¯ Department.¡± ¡°You want me to be a slayer?¡±Gu Ning was a bit surprised. ¡°But I¡¯m only 15 years old now. I don¡¯t think I¡¯m old enough to be one.¡± Deng Wang shook his head. ¡°Age doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯re a talent. A talent like you should work for the safety of the city. The city needs you.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Gu Ning thought about it for a while. ¡°I also want to remind you that you¡¯re not an intern or assistant, but an actual civil servant. Your monthly salary would be 10,000 Beast Crystals, and you also become eligible for commissions.¡± Hearing that, Gu Ning took a deep breath. A monthly salary of 10,000 Beast Crystals was indeed tempting! Who could resist it? But it was a big decision, so Gu Ning could not jump into it rashly. At this time, the red dragon tattoo on Gu Ning¡¯s chest lit up. The red dragon queen thought to Gu Ning, ¡°Master, Xiao Hong has just calculated for you. This position will bring you nothing but benefits.¡± The red dragon queen added, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the beasts. You are Xiao Hong¡¯s master. Xiao Hong¡¯s power is shared with you. Even if Xiao Hong doesn¡¯t show up, you can still fight against hundreds of beasts.¡± The principal, Rex, could not say anything. These slayers were nothing like the Familiars¡¯ Association. In terms of power and influence, they were like heaven and earth! Not to mention that even if Gu Ning graduated from Rex¡¯s school and asked Rex to help him find a job, Rex would be unable to pay him as much as the exterminators! Therefore, after thinking for a while, Gu Ning looked at the slayer, Deng Wang, and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be a slayer.¡± Deng Wang shook hands with Gu Ning and said, ¡°Welcome to the Exterminators¡¯ Department!¡± Chapter 22 After dealing with the principal and Deng Wang, Gu Ning left Blue High School and got on the bus to go home. Suddenly, a voice came from his heart. [The host¡¯s training time is over.] Gu Ning then remembered that he had thrown the crystal butterfly into the training space before she went to school. This time it had been 20,000 years. The crystal butterfly was more than 30,000 years old. She must have become a well-educated girl. Even if Bing Bing had not become a well-educated girl, she should be like Xiao Hong now. Gu Ning finally let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Master, since such a good thing happened today, why don¡¯t we buy a cake to celebrate?¡± The red dragon queen suggested. Gu Ning thought for a while. Although there were not many beast crystals left, he was bound to receive a bonus soon, so he said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll listen to Xiao Hong.¡± As soon as he finished, the bus stopped. Gu Ning got off the bus and went to the cake shop next to his home. He bought a big cake with a thousand white beast crystals and some snacks and drinks. He could not wait to go home. Gu Ning opened the door with the key and put the things on the table. He found nothing around him. Gu Ning was puzzled. He walked into the room. The scene confused him. The room was very messy, as if a thief had ransacked it. He glanced at the crystal butterfly, who was reading a manga with her legs crossed and eating potato chips. Gu Ning held back his anger and asked, ¡°Bingbing, can you explain what¡¯s going on?¡± Bingbing glanced at him and answered casually, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so tired. I just laid on your bed for a while. Master won¡¯t get angry, right?¡± Before Gu Ning could say anything, Bing Bing spoke first, ¡°Okay, okay, master. I¡¯ll clean it up later.¡± Gu Ning had never expected Bing Bing to become a shut-in after practicing for so long. Was her training backfiring? Gu Ning thought about it for a while, then said, ¡°Bing Bing, have you finished your training?¡± Bing Bing answered weakly, ¡°Yes, I have. I¡¯ve evolved. I¡¯m no longer called the crystal butterfly. I¡¯m an ice crystal butterfly!¡± Gu Ning found that Bing Bing¡¯s human body had grown a lot taller. He could see her other body parts growing too. He asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you show me what you¡¯ve got?¡± Bing Bing put down the potato chips and pointed to the sky with one hand. In an instant, a room with a temperature of 27 or 28 degrees Celsius fell to zero degrees Celsius. Ice crystals started to form in the air. ¡°Aren¡¯t you like a central air-conditioner?¡± Gu Ning asked. ¡°The air-conditioner can¡¯t turn this place into the North Pole!¡± The ice crystal butterfly said proudly. Gu Ning reached out to stop her. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Bing Bing withdrew her hand, and the temperature in the room immediately returned to normal. Gu Ning thought, ¡°Bing Bing seems to have gotten worse.¡± Bing Bing suddenly turned to Gu Ning, ¡°Who has gotten worse? You¡¯ve gotten worse! Your whole family has gotten worse! Don¡¯t disturb me while I¡¯m reading comics!¡± Gu Ning frowned, ¡°How could you tell?¡± Bing Bing said, ¡°Of course I can tell!¡± Gu Ning said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t come out. Keep reading your comic. Xiao Hong and I are going to eat cake.¡± When Bingbing heard the word cake, her eyes lit up, ¡°Cake! Cake! where is it? I want to eat cake! I want to eat cake!¡± At that moment, the red dragon queen came in. She said coldly, ¡°If you make any more noise, I¡¯ll throw you into the breeding system. Don¡¯t come out!¡± When Bing Bing heard the words ¡°Breeding system¡±, she stopped making noise immediately and sat down obediently. Gu Ning saw that Bing Bing had stopped making noise. She opened the cake on the table and put the food on the table. Bingbing¡¯s eyes lit up. However, when she saw Xiao Hong again, she did not dare to do anything else. Gu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, ¡°Hey, eat up. It¡¯s time to celebrate.¡± Xiao Hong first poured the drinks into three cups. It raised the cups and said, ¡°To celebrate our master¡¯s joining the crime squad today!¡± The three of them raised the cups together. They clinked them together and drank up. Suddenly, Gu Ning received a text message on his phone. The Beast Crystals had arrived! The party lasted the whole night. Gu Ning also had a good sleep. The next day, Gu Ning took out the beast crystals directly. Although she could only take out 100,000 beast crystals a day, it was enough for Gu Ning. Gu Ning took out five golden beast crystals. She looked around and went home. There were different levels of beast crystals. For example, white beast crystals were the lowest level, while blue beast crystals were equivalent to ten white beast crystals. Purple beast crystals were equivalent to a hundred white beast crystals, while red beast crystals were equivalent to a thousand beast crystals. The golden beast crystals in Gu Ning¡¯s hand were equivalent to ten-thousand white beast crystals. Gu Ning had just returned home with the beast crystals. He started to observe the ten golden beast crystals. He was a little excited. After all, this had all fallen into his hand all of a sudden. Bingbing saw it and said immediately, ¡°Master, I want to eat one! Give me one!¡± Gu Ning glanced at Bing Bing and said, ¡°Your mouth is so rotten every day. You¡¯re not getting one.¡± Seeing Gu Ning like this, Bing Bing looked at Gu Ning pitifully. She started to shake Gu Ning¡¯s thigh and said coquettishly, ¡°Master, give me one! Bing Bing won¡¯t make you angry anymore.¡± Gu Ning smiled. He took a golden beast crystal and gave it to Bing Bing. Bing Bing looked at the golden beast crystal and swallowed it immediately. She did not even chew it. Gu Ning was surprised. That was ten thousand beast crystals. How could she eat them like candy? Then Bing Bing said, ¡°Master, I feel so strong.¡± Xiao Hong said, ¡°Of course. If you don¡¯t become stronger after eating ten thousand beast crystals, you¡¯ll be beaten up by me.¡± Suddenly, there was a noise from next door. Gu Ning and the other two found it odd, so they went out to take a look. Gu Ning saw that the corridor was full of furniture, and another old man. The old man saw them, so he reached out his hand naturally. ¡°Oh, you must be my neighbor. I just moved here. Please take care of me.¡± Gu Ning looked at the old man. He looked familiar, so she shook his hand. The old man said, ¡°Haha, I¡¯m still moving things. Let¡¯s leave it at that.¡± The old man went in with a cardboard box in his hand. Gu Ning¡¯s intuition told him that the old man was not that simple. When he came back the next night, Gu Ning heard the noise in the next room. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the snake to be killed by a high school student. I heard it was killed by a single punch.¡± ¡°Yeah, I thought I couldn¡¯t even take a shot at the slayer, but the snake was already killed by a child.¡± Gu Ning paused for a second, then smiled. He went back home and closed the door. Chapter 23 As soon as Gu Ning got home, he said to the red dragon queen, ¡°Xiao Hong, come here.¡± Xiao Hong followed Gu Ning without saying anything. Gu Ning stopped at the door of the room next door with Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong heard the conversation inside and understood why her master had pulled her over in such a hurry. Gu Ning asked in a low voice, ¡°Xiao Hong, can you see what¡¯s going on in there?¡± Xiao Hong answered calmly, ¡°Yes.¡± The red dragon queen closed her eyes, and a red light flashed on her forehead. Then she murmured, ¡°There are seven people in the room, including the man in the morning. They¡¯re all seated around the round table, as if they¡¯re discussing something.¡± Gu Ning said immediately, ¡°Can you hear what they¡¯re saying?¡± Xiao Hong opened her eyes. Her pupils immediately projected the scene to Gu Ning like a video camera. The Man in the room was sitting beside the round table. The other seven people wore long robes, covering their heads with hoods, so it was hard to see what they looked like. One of the leaders sat upright and said to them, ¡°Everyone, we can¡¯t let this sort of thing go. I think if we don¡¯t find out who this child is, we¡¯ll never be able to take the next step. One of the people at the round table said, ¡°We almost killed the slayer when we broke into the sect, but we can¡¯t beat a child? Wu Si, this is on you. The man said, ¡°It can¡¯t be like that. I was only responsible for releasing the snake. The thing is, you guys didn¡¯t even make a move this time.¡± Then he turned to another man, ¡°I think our company failed to cooperate with you this time. Don¡¯t you agree, Master?¡± Gu Ning was a bit confused. He didn¡¯t even know there was such an organization, nor did he know what kind of company the man was talking about. The people who had broken into the door and Wu Si were still sitting there. The leader was talking, ¡°Everyone, please be quiet. Don¡¯t fight over this. ¡°Of course, we have a partnership with Tiandao Company. It¡¯s just that our disciples couldn¡¯t find the opportunity to make the next move.¡± The sect master cleared his throat and said, ¡°Since this has failed, then we¡¯ll directly carry out the next plan.¡± Wu Si stretched out a hand and motioned for the sect master to continue. The sect master slowly said, ¡°For this operation, Your Heavenly Dao company must provide fierce beasts that are even more resentful than that snake to support our breaking into the sect. ¡°And this time, we will send three C-rank disciples to take action! The operation time will be set for the day after tomorrow, and we will rush over tomorrow, one at a time. The operation location will be in the residential area of West Cloud Bridge. The sect master paused for a moment, then continued, ¡°This will not be a repeat of the last time. West Cloud Bridge is basically a three-tiered zone within the Federation. ¡°Firstly, West Cloud Bridge is far away from the main city, so other than the murderer department, they won¡¯t be able to rush over. Secondly, the number of fierce beasts in the three-tiered zone is the largest, and it is completely possible to cause chaos. If these fierce beasts are brought into the main city in batches, it will cause quite a big blow to the federation government.¡± Wu Si interrupted, ¡°By then, we can directly achieve our wish to conquer the Blue Planet.¡± The master smiled, ¡°The people of Tiandao Company are smart too.¡± Gu Ning never expected the master next door to be the culprit of the criminals they had caught last time, and that he would be hearing their plans by accident, Gu Ning was a slayer now, so he thought he should kill all these people at once. After all, they would not be able to defeat her. Xiao Hong patted Gu Ning¡¯s arm and said to him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master. We already know that they¡¯re the organization that released the beasts. ¡°Now that you¡¯re a slayer, you¡¯ll get paid for taking action. Why don¡¯t we kill only some of them? If we keep them alive, it¡¯ll be like keeping a cash cow.¡± Gu Ning thought for a while and found that Xiao Hong¡¯s words made sense. As a slayer, who said he had to take every bounty in dead? Hearing that, Gu Ning took out his phone and called the Exterminators¡¯ Department. After the call was connected, Gu Ning spoke directly, ¡°Headquarters, there¡¯s an important report!¡± The operator on the other end of the line was a bit angry. It was almost the end of the shift. It would be ridiculous to report an important situation at this time. Therefore, the operator replied unhappily, ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Report it now!¡± Gu Ning told the operator what he had heard from the other end. The operator felt that it was a prank, so she answered unhappily, ¡°I know, I know. We¡¯ll take care of it!¡± Then she hung up the phone. Gu Ning hung up the phone. He thought the headquarters of the murderer¡¯s Department had received the news and would report it immediately, so he was satisfied. When the operator of the murderer¡¯s department was about to change shifts, Deng Wang appeared behind the operator. Deng Wang said, ¡°Liu, you¡¯ve worked hard. What happened just now?¡± The operator called Xiao Liu said to Deng Wang, ¡°Director, someone just reported a fake case. They said that someone broke into the residential area of West Cloud Bridge to release a mutated beast.¡± When Deng Wang heard that, he frowned and immediately asked, ¡°Who made the call? Is there a caller ID?¡± The operator immediately pulled out the caller ID. After Deng Wang looked at the string of numbers, he slapped the operator. ¡°Bastard! What are you getting paid for! Is this a false report? This is a slayer reporting the situation!¡± The operator was a little confused. She did not know why the director would pay so much attention to such a ¡°False report¡±. Deng Wang immediately shouted, ¡°All exterminators, Listen Up! Team one, two, three, emergency team, follow me to the West Cloud Bridge residential area and wait for orders! There¡¯s a major situation!¡± The internal personnel of the Exterminators¡¯ Department were very efficient. They immediately put on their equipment and rushed to the West Cloud Bridge. When the exterminator¡¯s department rushed to the West Cloud Bridge, the sky had already turned white. They directly booked a room in the hotel next to the West Cloud Bridge residential area. As expected, in the afternoon of the next day, a few people in long robes were preparing to go out with suitcases. The slayers immediately checked the suitcases and arrested them. The other teams of slayers were also on the top floor of a high building. They caught the person who was about to release a Class-B beast and brought all the people back to the headquarters. On the way, Deng Wang thought of a question. How could Gu Ning be so capable? He could even guess the plan with such foresight. who was he? Chapter 24 Deng Wang immediately asked the other members of the murder department to interrogate them. He then called Gu Ning. Gu Ning¡¯s phone rang. He had been watching the news on the sofa. He knew who the phone belonged to. He pressed the green button immediately. Gu Ning asked, ¡°Director, what brings you here?¡± Deng Wang smiled at the other end: ¡°Good for you. You knew the plan of Heavenly Down Company in advance. If I don¡¯t reward you this time, I won¡¯t be able to live up to my status as the director.¡± Gu Ning was excited when he heard the word ¡°Reward¡±. He asked Deng Wang, ¡°How much is the reward?¡± Deng Wang cleared his throat and said slowly, ¡°Because you provided information in advance to stop the Heavenly Dao Company¡¯s plan, you¡¯ve helped us a lot in solving the case. You must have contributed a lot! ¡°Of course, the exterminating agency will reward us a lot.¡± Deng Wang paused and said, ¡°200,000 beast crystals. It will be transferred to your private account in a few minutes. Gu Ning¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard there was a reward of 200,000 beast crystals. After a while, he said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t thank me. If you insist, I¡¯ll take it.¡± Xiao Liu, who was standing next to Deng Wang, suddenly said, ¡°Why? He¡¯s getting 200,000 beast crystals for information, and I was the one who answered the phone call.¡± Deng Wang scolded Xiao Liu, ¡°You were the one who called it a false case! Why didn¡¯t you look into it? I¡¯ll deduct a month¡¯s salary from you!¡± Xiao Liu wanted to cry, ¡°I¡¯m so unlucky!¡± Gu Ning could not help laughing on the other side. Deng Wang was a bit embarrassed to see Gu Ning still on the phone. He mouthed to Xiao Liu, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with you later.¡±. Then Deng Wang spoke into the phone, ¡°Then I won¡¯t bother you anymore. Report to me immediately if there¡¯s anything else.¡± Gu Ning replied, ¡°Yes, director. I¡¯ll definitely report to you.¡± Deng Wang hung up the phone and raised his hand to Liu. After a while, Gu Ning received a message on his phone, informing him that he had received the 200,000 beast crystals. Xiao Hong suddenly came out from the side. Xiao Hong smiled at Gu Ning, ¡°Master, did you find something unexpected again?¡± Gu Ning smiled and said to Xiao Hong, ¡°Of course. This time, thanks to Xiao Hong, I have another 200,000 yuan in my bank account.¡± Xiao Hong was very happy to hear that. She said with a smile, ¡°Master, let¡¯s go shopping again.¡± Gu Ning stood up and said to Xiao Hong, ¡°If Xiao Hong wants to go shopping, let¡¯s pack up and go together.¡± Xiao Hong jumped up happily and went out with Gu Ning immediately. A day passed quickly. Gu Ning and Xiao Hong came back with big and small bags. Needless to say, they were all clothes and cosmetics bought by Xiao Hong. When they passed by the next door, Xiao Hong pulled Gu Ning aside with a serious face. She mouthed to Gu Ning, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡± Gu Ning nodded. She pointed at the door, then took out her key. After entering the door with Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong used the same trick again and projected the situation on the wall. The contents on the screen were the same as the last time. It was Wu Si and a few other people in long robes sitting around a round table. The master suddenly pounded on the table. It was obvious that he was very angry, but his voice was still calm: ¡°This failure. There has to be a mole in your Heavenly Dao Company.¡± The sect master turned to look at Wu si and slowly said, ¡°Of course, we won¡¯t betray our own business partners. I don¡¯t know if your Heavenly Dao Company has messed up somewhere.¡± Wu Si also glared at the sect master. When he heard this, he was slightly riled up. ¡°Sect master, I¡¯m warning you. We¡¯re now in a cooperative relationship.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for us providing the mutated familiars, how could the few of you be able to defeat the slayers with all your previous plans?¡± Wu Si narrowed his eyes. ¡°Sect leader, it¡¯s only two failures. You don¡¯t even consider your own problems, yet you still want to implicate our Heavenly Dao Company? Do you really have to force me to reveal some information to the city guards? Remember, the agents of our Heavenly Dao company are all buried underground, while the bureaucrats are all well-acquainted with us. The sect master snorted coldly and then continued, ¡°We¡¯ll come after you when we¡¯re done here. But since we¡¯re still in a collaborative relationship, we should work out the next step of the plan together. What do you think?¡± Wu Si curled his lips and leaned back in his chair. The sect master said, ¡°Our next target is Champagne Avenue. The time is tomorrow. This place is almost like a highway. When it causes chaos among the people, the slayers will definitely come to maintain order.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, we can achieve the goal of luring the tiger away from the mountain.¡± ¡°There will definitely be no one guarding the Blue Star federal government. When we break into the sect, we¡¯ll need to split into two parties. One side will delay the slayers, while the other side will directly seize the Blue Star government by force .¡± The master looked at Wu Si and said, ¡°You, on the other hand, need to provide the familiars.¡± Wu Si sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll provide the B-classes, right? The rest depends on your abilities.¡± Seeing this, Gu Ning took out his phone and called the headquarters. After Gu Ning told them about the situation, he felt a bit sorry. After all, it was not good to leave them there to spend money. Thinking of this, Gu Ning took some fruits he had bought in the morning and knocked on the door. The door was not locked, but it was open. As soon as he entered, Gu Ning said, ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m the neighbor from next door. Why is the room so dark?¡± Gu Ning looked around and put on a smile, ¡°Oh, there¡¯s a customer.¡± Gu Ning said sincerely, ¡°I bought some fruits on the street today. I wanted to bring some for you. But since you¡¯re serving customers, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Go on.¡± As soon as the intruders saw Gu Ning, they started to build their soul circuits. Wu Si glanced at them, then said in a low voice, ¡°No way. He¡¯s just a high school student. If we kill him, we lose this place. You don¡¯t want to have to move to another place, do you?¡± The intruders finally stopped. Gu Ning felt it too. He looked at Wu Si¡¯s smiling face and smiled innocently. Gu Ning said, ¡°I¡¯ll put down the fruit first. You guys carry on. I¡¯m going back now.¡± Wu Si waved his hand with a smile. Gu Ning also waved his hand and walked back. Chapter 25 Gu Ning had just stepped into her house when his phone rang. Gu Ning looked at the number. He did not recognize it, so he directly answered it. As soon as Gu Ning answered the phone, a warm voice came from the other side, ¡°Hello? Is that Gu Ning? I¡¯m Rex, the principal. I want to discuss something with you. Would you mind?¡± Gu Ning thought to himself, ¡°The principal is so humble nowadays. Is it because I¡¯m too strong? Or maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m already a slayer.¡± Then Gu Ning said directly, ¡°Sure, tell me.¡± Rex said directly, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing serious. I just want to ask you something. The University League will start tomorrow morning. Do you still want to participate?¡± University League? I¡¯m so strong now. Didn¡¯t I bully primary school students in the past? Moreover, the University League¡­ did not seem to offer any benefits. On the other hand, he was reaping in money as a slayer. After all, there was a money tree next door. But Gu Ning thought about it. He had already promised to participate in the competition. If he said no now, would Rex not be severely disappointed? Gu Ning thought for a while, then answered, ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing that, Rex jumped up happily. He picked up the guitar on the wall like a child and started to play wildly. Gu Ning felt awkward when he heard the sound of the guitar on the other side. He cleared her throat and said, ¡°Well¡­ if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡± The duet between the guitar and bass suddenly stopped. Rex was a bit embarrassed when he realized the phone was still connected. Rex said hurriedly, ¡°Okay, okay. I wish you a happy life.¡± Then he hung up. Gu Ning was speechless at that moment. He wondered why he had such a weird principal. However, Gu Ning suddenly felt that it did not matter whether she attended the exam or not. After all, he could tell Xiao Hong to keep an eye on their neighbors. After that, Gu Ning told Xiao Hong about it. He told Xiao Hong to stay at home and listen in on the situation on the other side. He would take Bing Bing with her tomorrow. Xiao Hong agreed, so she dragged Bing Bing out of the room. After telling Bing Bing about it with her fist, Bing Bing reluctantly agreed to go with Gu Ning. It was the day of the exam. Gu Ning took Bing Bing out of the door, then got on the bus to go to the venue of the exam. However, as soon as the bus passed Champagne Avenue, they saw slayers at work. A few people in burqas and a few people in suits were being herded into the bus. Gu Ning looked at them and thought, ¡°How much will it be this time?¡± However, he did not see Wu Si. He was probably still in the room talking. At this moment, Gu Ning thought to himself, ¡°Humph! This is what happens when you mistreat your familiars. They should have been arrested a long time ago.¡± Gu Ning answered in his heart, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Bing Bing. They will all be caught sooner or later. Who am I?¡± Bing Bing snorted, as if she was pouting somewhere that Gu Ning could not see. Gu Ning did not pay much attention to her. He just waited quietly for the bus to arrive at the designated place. After a long time, they finally arrived at the designated place. Gu Ning got off the bus and felt a bit more relaxed. She walked straight to the examination venue, the Beast Hall. The Beast Hall was the venue for the examination of each high school and each level every year. In the history of the Blue Planet, it had been a Colosseum in ancient times. But now, it had been transformed into a place for the examination of familiars of different levels. The examination for familiars was held three times a year, at the beginning of April, the middle of August, and the end of December. It was now the beginning of April, and it was time for the first joint examination of the year. The rules of the joint examination were that the examination would be conducted in the form of two duels, and the final winner would be decided. The winner would receive a certificate and a bonus from the Familiars¡¯ Association. In addition, the winner would also receive a scholarship from each school. Every year, the Familiars¡¯ Association would be the judge of the exam. They were there to make a fair judgment. Of course, it was also a competition to find talents from all the high schools. Gu Ning walked into the Beast Hall and started to register. He took the card of Blue High School. While waiting, a purple-haired man next to him said to his friend, ¡°Look, I wonder what that trash Blue High School has sent to compete this year.¡± His friend also laughed, but Gu Ning could npt sit still. Gu Ning suddenly said, ¡°But the real trash doesn¡¯t know he¡¯s trash. He¡¯s judging me based on the school.¡± The purple-haired man looked at Gu Ning with displeasure. Gu Ning added, ¡°Oh, right, the trash doesn¡¯t know it. He¡¯s a fool.¡± The purple-haired man suddenly laughed, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the representative of Blue High School?¡± Gu Ning replied coldly, ¡°Yeah, why? Do you want me to spray some alcohol in your mouth to disinfect it?¡± The purple-haired man laughed out loud, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re so arrogant! Kid, do you know who I am? I was the champion of the Monster League from primary school to middle school.¡± Gu Ning smiled, ¡°So?¡± The purple-haired man raised his head and looked at Gu Ning with his nostrils, ¡°So if you meet me in the beginning, your familiar might die a horrible death.¡± Gu Ning burst out laughing. He looked at him and said, ¡°Boy, you should clean your nose. There are so many boogers. No wonder your mouth is so stinky.¡± The purple-haired man was still contemptuous, he smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with the students of Blue High School this year. How dare they come to the competition? I¡¯m telling you, if I see you in the second round, I¡¯ll go eat excrement.¡± Gu Ning was about to answer when he heard the message for each group to get into position. Gu Ning and the purple-haired man stood up together and walked to the competition field. The arena was very spacious. It could allow five groups of students to compete at the same time. Of course, there was a line in the arena. If the students failed or passed, they would be considered out of the competition. When Gu Ning and the purple-haired man stood in the same arena, they smiled contemptuously at each other. The purple-haired man spoke first, ¡°If I don¡¯t kill you today, I¡¯ll eat your excrement when I go home!¡± Gu Ning replied faintly, ¡°Well, you¡¯ll have to eat your feces twice today. Remember to broadcast it for me.¡± Prake made a gesture. Gu Ning stood on the field with his hands spread out. Prake wanted to punch him in the face. Chapter 26 At that moment, a whistle sounded on the field, followed by a broadcast of six words: ¡°Let the competition begin.¡± Prake immediately set up his soul circuit. He rolled up his sleeves, and a snow-white monkey jumped out from the tattoo on his arm. Prake said proudly, ¡°This is a frost monkey. You must be scared just by looking at it. It¡¯s time to show yours to us, you loser!¡± Gu Ning touched his neck casually and finished the soul circuit. A pair of butterfly wings came out from his back. Prake saw the butterfly wings and burst into laughter, ¡°Hahaha! Since when did Blue High school become a Sissy? How dare a man make a contract with a butterfly?¡± As soon as he finished his words, he flew off the stage! The next thing he felt was the pain and freezing chill in his stomach. He could not even stand up! At that moment, the other students and the judges had turned their eyes to their dueling area. The judge was surprised to see the battle end so quickly. However, he soon gave ten points to Blue High school. Prake was stunned when he saw this. He couldn¡¯t believe that he, who had not lost for more than 10 years, would be beaten like this today. Gu Ning did not say anything. He walked towards Prak. Gu Ning grabbed his shoulder with one hand and stared into his eyes, ¡°Purple hair, I¡¯m sorry to tell you that your soul circuit has been sealed. No matter how many familiars you take in, they won¡¯t be able to come out. I hope you¡¯ll keep your promise. Did I make the feces for you these two times? Or did you find it yourself?¡± Prake sat on the ground weakly, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost. He murmured to himself repeatedly, ¡°Impossible¡­ impossible¡­ I¡¯m dreaming¡­ impossible.¡± Gu Ning looked at him and patted him again. He added, ¡°Take care of yourself, Loser.¡± In the end, Gu Ning left him still mumbling to himself. He had obviously been possessed, so he ignored him and let the staff take him away. At that moment, Prake was still shouting, ¡°Impossible! Impossible! Blue dog! I¡¯ll kill you! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± However, Prake was only a high school student. His strength had been sealed, and he was not as strong as the staff. He could only let them drag him away. At that moment, the students of the school who were not yet competing were discussing among themselves. The students of Luke High School said to their classmates, ¡°Wow, the people from Blue High school are too powerful today! It looks like that person did not even use one-tenth of his strength.¡± Another student said, ¡°Yeah, I know that Prake who was defeated. This kid used to be from our school. He relied on his own frost monkey to be arrogant and despotic in school. He won all the competitions in junior high school!¡± The student paused for a second, then said, ¡°But he was beaten so badly this time. He deserves it. Finally, he knows that there is always someone better than him.¡± In the midst of the discussion, a pair of eyes were staring at Gu Ning. Gu Ning also noticed it. He glanced over and saw a beautiful woman looking at him with a serious expression. Gu Ning¡¯s eyes flew wide open, but in the next second, he seemed to realize something. He cleared his throat and went back to his seat. Gu Ning watched the competition for a while and found that few of the people who had made it to the next round could fight. He guessed that if they fought him, they would only end up like Prake. He immediately felt bored. Of course, other people always thought about how to win the competition, but Gu Ning came to the competition and wondered when it would end. It was like listening to a lecture at school. The leaders on the stage were talking nonstop, while the students below the stage were lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly, a voice came from the broadcast, ¡°Please return to the arena for the second round of the competition.¡± Gu Ning stood up, stretched, and walked slowly to the arena. The second round was the same as the first one. After both sides had established their soul circuits, Gu Ning finished the other off. It only took Gu Ning more than a minute to walk from the stage to the stage. After all, he only had one minute to prepare. Sure enough, the score of Blue High School was 10 again. After several rounds of duels, Gu Ning defeated his opponent in one second without any hesitation. It was starting to attract all kinds of attention from other middle schools. Some were admiring, some were angry, and some even suspected that Gu Ning had cheated. Gu Ning did not care about any of that. He just wanted it to be over soon. Among all kinds of people, one of them had been staring at Gu Ning from the beginning to the end. It was the girl who had been staring at Gu Ning from the start. A girl next to the girl patted her and said, ¡°Sister Lily, why do you keep staring at that monster? Do you have a crush on him?¡± Lily answered immediately, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯m really curious. How did he beat his opponent in one move?¡± The girl said, ¡°According to my analysis, he must have cheated.¡± Lily replied, ¡°No, I can feel it. It can¡¯t be cheating.¡± Lily continued, ¡°When I was in the competition, I also looked in his direction from time to time. That power is definitely real. There is absolutely no cheating involved.¡± At this moment, the last broadcast boomed out, ¡°Please let the two who have advanced to the final stage fight on the dueling platform.¡± The girl asked Lily, ¡°This time, we¡¯re up against that craz-human monster. Can you really do it?¡± Lily said, ¡°Indeed, I¡¯m not very confident. But since I¡¯ve already made it to this stage, I won¡¯t easily back down.¡± At that moment, Lily recalled the time when she was in school. Every day, she would train hard with her familiar. At that time, she had given it her all. However, she knew that she and her familiar had put in a lot of effort to stand in such a place. Although her current opponent was Gu Ning, who was constantly one-shotting people, she was determined to stand against him. Lily had a special characteristic. She would do anything no matter how difficult it was. At that moment, she was standing face to face with Gu Ning. She was ready to die, just like the Japanese warriors on the Earth where Gu Ning used to live. She would rather die than lose. Gu Ning, on the other hand, smiled, ¡°Are you serious? Pretty girl?¡± This was the first time Gu Ning had spoken on the court since she had defeated Prake. Gu Ning continued, ¡°After every match, you¡¯ve been sizing me up. You¡¯ve been staring at me since you sat down. Gu Ning paused for a moment, then smiled, ¡°If you like me, just say it.¡± Chapter 27 Lily frowned. She snorted, then said, ¡°No matter how strong you are, I¡¯ll give it my all!¡± Gu Ning smiled, ¡°Really? Fine. Since you¡¯re a girl, I¡¯ll give you three moves.¡± Gu Ning¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp. ¡°If you can¡¯t beat me in three moves, then there¡¯s nothing I can do. You¡¯ll end up like the other contestants I beat.¡± Lily was a bit angry. ¡°You don¡¯t have to let me win! I¡¯ll defeat you! I¡¯ll win the Championship!¡± Gu Ning smiled contemptuously. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. If you think you¡¯re better than me, you can try.¡± Gu Ning continued, ¡°But I¡¯ve made a deal. I¡¯ll let you win in three moves. You can treat it as my pride instead of my pity. Is that okay?¡± At that moment, the audience was discussing among themselves. Student a said, ¡°Wow! The school belle of Pegui High School has started to fight with the representative of Blue High School.¡± Student B said, ¡°Do you think Blue High school can really give her three moves?¡± Student A said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know how strong she is? If the school belle of Pegui High School can reach the finals, Blue High School will definitely lose in three moves.¡± Student B: ¡°Wow, I can tell that you didn¡¯t pay attention to the match just now! Look at that guy from Blue High school. which time didn¡¯t he kill his opponent in one move? Even Prake who was so powerful before was killed in one move. Isn¡¯t it a piece of cake to face the belle of Pegui High School?¡± Student A: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s bet 100 beast crystals. Belle wins, you lose. Blue High school wins, you win.¡± Student B said, ¡°Let¡¯s bet. Who¡¯s afraid of you?¡± Lily ignored the discussion on the stage. She did not say anything. She constructed a soul circuit. Her claws became sharp, shining like blades. Gu Ning did not do anything. He just stood where he was. Lily narrowed her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re not going to construct a soul circuit?¡± Gu Ning said, ¡°If I do, it¡¯ll be over.¡± Hearing that, Lily rushed forward, as fast as an arrow. When Lily¡¯s claws were about one centimeter away from Gu Ning, Gu Ning dodged to the side. Lily calmed down. She thought her attack had been the fastest way to kill her opponent, but it did not even touch Gu Ning. Gu Ning said to Lily, ¡°By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I¡¯m Gu Ning. What¡¯s your name?¡± Lily did not answer. She turned to the side and attacked again. Gu Ning raised his head and dodged the attack again. Gu Ning said, ¡°Girl, don¡¯t be so rude.¡± Lily still did not say anything. She attacked again. Gu Ning did a backflip and dodged again. Gu Ning looked up at Lily, who was gasping for breath. He could not help laughing. Gu Ning said, ¡°It¡¯s only three moves, and you¡¯re already so tired? How did you make it to the finals?¡± Lily said angrily, ¡°Coward, you don¡¯t even dare to take one of my moves. Are you afraid?¡± Gu Ning nodded and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you one last chance. I Won¡¯t dodge this time. You can hit me all you want.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lily attacked. The attack was intense. Anyone else caught it would have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month. However, when Lily¡¯s claw was only one centimeter away from Gu Ning, it suddenly stopped. A protective shield suddenly formed on Gu Ning¡¯s body, and Lily¡¯s claw was caught in it. Lily tried to break free, but she could not. Gu Ning said to Lily, ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy. You can¡¯t do it.¡± Lily still wanted to break free from the protective shield, but it was useless. Gu Ning directly constructed a soul circuit. He waved his hand, and an ice knife was thrown out. The ice knife struck Lily¡¯s body, which sent her flying away. As Lily was lying on the ground, Gu Ning said while walking, ¡°Wow, you have good taste. It¡¯s pink.¡± Lily glared at him. She struggled to get up immediately. Gu Ning smiled, ¡°How is it? Can you continue? If you can continue, let me tell you that I didn¡¯t even use one-tenth of my strength just now.¡± Lily panted heavily. She raised her claws and tried to attack Gu Ning. Gu Ning said slowly, ¡°Your steps are all over the place and your breath is unstable. You can¡¯t fight anymore. Admit defeat.¡± Gu Ning dodged the attack again. Lily shouted, ¡°I won¡¯t admit defeat!¡± Gu Ning smiled contemptuously, ¡°Really? Don¡¯t Cry When you lose. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be easy to comfort.¡± Lily adjusted her breathing at that moment. She made a pose with her left and right feet in a straight line. Lily¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to kill this bastard right away. Lily used the last of her strength to fly over. She reached out with a claw. Gu Ning caught the claw, but saw another claw coming at him. Gu Ning took the claw on with his head, where it remained unscathed. After all, there was a protective shield, so Lily¡¯s claw was stuck on Gu Ning¡¯s head again. Seeing this, Gu Ning said, ¡°I don¡¯t usually like people touching my head.¡± ¡°But since you¡¯ve touched it, then it¡¯s up to you!¡± Gu Ning kicked Lily to the ground. Lily clutched her stomach and fell to the ground. She seemed to have lost all her strength. She lay on the ground several times, but could not stand up. Lily was thinking, ¡°What kind of familiar is this guy using? How could he be so strong?¡± Back in the day, Lily was very powerful in their middle school. She never lost any competition. How did she lose to this kid from Blue High School this time? Lily thought, ¡°He seemed to be nonchalant during the battle, but in fact, he was relying on the protection of his familiars.¡± ¡°Although I could easily break a normal protective shield with the sharp claws of a thousand-feathered bird, this one was stuck in the protective shield and couldn¡¯t be pulled out. What¡¯s going on?¡± Lily thought for a while, ¡°His familiar seems to be of the ice element.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s still a problem that the thousand-feathered bird can¡¯t solve. It can only mean one thing. His familiar¡¯s level has already surpassed the E-grade.¡± Lily was lying on the ground. Before she could stand up, a hand was stretched out in front of her. Gu Ning said to her, ¡°Get up. It¡¯s too cold on the ground.¡± Lily wanted to push his hand aside, but found that she did not have the strength to do so. She could only hold his hand and let Gu Ning pull her up. Lily almost fell down again when she stood up. Gu Ning held her up and helped her stand up. When she finally stood up, Lily asked, ¡°Can I see your familiar?¡± Chapter 28 ¡°My familiar? Didn¡¯t you see it?¡± Gu Ning smiled. He pointed at the blue butterfly tattoo on his neck and said, ¡°See, only a sissy can use a butterfly familiar.¡± Lily was amused by Gu Ning. She came back to her senses and shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see the tattoo, but the real appearance of your contracted Beast.¡± Gu Ning did not tease her anymore. He crossed her arms and looked at Lily. ¡°If you lose, you lose. What can the beast prove?¡± Hearing that, Lily lowered her head and said in a low voice, ¡°For today¡¯s competition, I spent a lot of time and effort with my beast, the thousand-feathered bird. I even analyzed all the top fighters in the school.¡± ¡°I wanted to win and be recognized, so I made a lot of preparations and prepared several strategies based on the merits of each contestant.¡± ¡°But you came out of nowhere.¡± Lily looked at Gu Ning with admiration. ¡°You¡¯re ridiculously strong, and you don¡¯t have any background. So I¡¯m very confused and eager to know your familiar.¡± ¡°I want to know what kind of familiar the one who defeated me had. Am I not qualified to do that?¡± Hearing that, Gu Ning smacked his lips and said, ¡°Fine, fine. I¡¯ll show you. What¡¯s so good about a stinky butterfly?¡± ¡°Who did you say was a stinky butterfly? Damn it!¡± Bing Bing said in Gu Ning¡¯s mind. ¡°You heard wrong. I said you were a beautiful butterfly.¡± Gu Ning smiled bitterly, then said with his mouth, ¡°Come out, ice crystal butterfly.¡± Gu Ning¡¯s soul circuit spread to his whole body. In a dazzling blue circle of light, the ice crystal butterfly appeared. A huge butterfly appeared in the air of the competition ground. Its blue and white wings flapped gently. Everyone present felt a chill, as if winter had passed in an instant! ¡°As you wish, my familiar has appeared. I was not lying to you, right? It¡¯s just an ordinary water-type familiar,¡± Gu Ning said. ¡°It¡¯s indeed an ordinary butterfly familiar¡­ But why¡­ ?¡± Lily looked at the ice butterfly and fell into deep thought. ¡°An ordinary familiar! Who are you calling an ordinary familiar? Damn it!¡± The ice butterfly cursed in Gu Ning¡¯s mind. She did not scold the woman in front of her because Gu Ning had told her not to let others know that she could talk, otherwise it would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. ¡°Ha, ha, ha, why are you acting like a child? You¡¯re the familiar that I went through a lot of trouble to capture. I know whether you¡¯re good or bad,¡± Gu Ning replied in his heart. Bing Bing heard him and stammered, ¡°Humph! I¡­ I can forgive that woman!¡± When Gu Ning showed the ice crystal butterfly, Lily, who was Gu Ning¡¯s opponent, could not determine the origin of the ice crystal cold butterfly. However, it was different for the monster trainers who were masters in the audience. The moment they saw the ice crystal cold butterfly, the teachers from other schools stood up in surprise. They murmured, ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­ The evolved form of the millennium ice silkworm?¡± ¡°How could the millennium ice silkworm in the Ice Lake Mountain be caught by a high school student¡­ and even upgraded to an adult ice crystal butterfly?¡± The teachers were so surprised that they were scratching their ears and cheeks. In contrast to the audience, Gu Ning was laughing out loud because only women knew how to use butterfly familiars. ¡°Smile, smile. I¡¯ll beat you all up later.¡± After Gu Ning had satisfied Lily¡¯s request, he put the ice crystal butterfly back on his neck and left the stage. ¡°Wait! Gu Ning!¡± Before Gu Ning left the stage, Lily stopped him and asked, ¡°Can we¡­ give you our contact details?¡± Lily¡¯s words shocked everyone! The campus belle of Pegui High School was exchanging numbers with a student of Blue High school who had signed a contract with a butterfly! But what was even more shocking was what happened next! Gu Ning directly replied, ¡°I don¡¯t want to give you my contact information today. If you see me again, I¡¯ll consider giving it to you again.¡± After that, he left, leaving the audience and the campus belle, Lily, in a daze. After the break, Gu Ning went on the stage. He went from the top 32 to the top 16 to the top 4 and won the championship. Everything was as easy as Gu Ning had expected. In each match, Gu Ning won with one punch! It seemed to be a normal phenomenon. Even the secret bet changed from whether Gu Ning could win to whether Gu Ning could win with one punch. In the end, the championship was in Gu Ning¡¯s hands. The headmaster of Blue High School, Rex, was so happy that his teeth almost fell out. Gu Ning decided to give Rex the honor of receiving the trophy. After that, Gu Ning walked out of the hall. The butterfly in his body could not help asking, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and receive the award? We have nothing to do at home.¡± ¡°They¡¯re too noisy. I¡¯m sure it¡¯ll be even noisier when they receive the award. There¡¯s even a flash camera. I don¡¯t want to go,¡± Gu Ning said. ¡°By the way, you did well today. I¡¯ll give You a gold beast crystal as a reward.¡± ¡°Golden? That¡¯s 10,000 white beast crystals!¡± Bing Bing was very excited. ¡°Thank you, master! I love you so much!¡± ¡°Be good and eat well in the future. Otherwise, Xiao Hong and the system can punish you,¡± Gu Ning said. Bing Bing replied immediately, ¡°Understood, master! Let¡¯s go back and eat the beast crystals!¡± Gu Ning was about to call a taxi, but at that moment, his phone rang. He picked up his cell phone. There was a special message on the number: it was an official call. It was against the law not to pick up the phone. Gu Ning immediately understood that it was the call from the Exterminators. Why were they calling? Gu Ning picked up the phone. As soon as he picked it up, he heard a sentence, ¡°Gu Ning! We need your help! Only you can save Deng Wang and his team!¡± Gu Ning asked the police officer to speak slowly. He asked, ¡°What happened? Shouldn¡¯t Deng Wang be dealing with the break-in case I sent you today?¡± ¡°That was the plan.¡± The other side answered, ¡°But half an hour ago, there was a big case on Haixiu South Road, Haiyue District. Many people were killed. Director Deng Wang could only lead a team of ten to deal with it.¡± ¡°But just now¡­ We received a call for help from the walkie-talkie of that team¡­ they were all killed!¡± ¡°Haiyue District?¡± Gu Ning looked up at the road sign. ¡°I¡¯m near Hai Xiu West Road now. I just finished the National University League.¡± ¡°We know, so¡­ Only you can save them! The address is the unfinished building near No. 221, Hai Xiu West Road. Please!¡± Gu Ning said, ¡°I understand.¡± Then he turned off the phone. He told Bing Bing in his mind, ¡°The beast crystals will have to wait. Duty calls.¡± Bingbing said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take two!¡± Gu Ning smiled, ¡°Do well.¡± Chapter 29 Gu Ning arrived at Hai Xiu West Road, as the operator had mentioned. It was a no-man¡¯s land in Haoyue city, where Gu Ning lived. It was said that many years ago, before familiars were widely accepted, humans had built a high wall to defend against them. However, without the threat of the familiars, humans started to attack their own kind with sharp blades. Countless wars happened. Because of the geography of Hai Xiu Road, there had been many tragic wars. Therefore, the place was filled with the smell of blood and nuclear radiation all year round. That was why the National College League took place in Hai Xiu road. The entire Haoyue district had become a no-man¡¯s land, and Hai Xiu Road was in ruins. As soon as he stepped in, the butterfly in Gu Ning¡¯s body started to speak, ¡°Master, I hate this place! It smells of blood everywhere! It¡¯s both the blood of humans and familiars. It¡¯s disgusting!¡± It was said that familiars could sense elements that humans could not detect, but no one could prove it, because none of their familiars could speak. Today, Gu Ning had confirmed it. Then Gu Ning said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. If you don¡¯t want to come out later, you don¡¯t have to come out. Just stay in my body and build a soul circuit with me. Your master is very strong.¡± Gu Ning thought the crystal butterfly would be glad if she did not have to do anything, but she stammered in Gu Ning¡¯s body, ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. Don¡¯t tell me that I could not perform well and don¡¯t give me the crystal! Call me if you can¡¯t stand It!¡± Bing Bing said with a pout. Gu Ning laughed out loud, ¡°You¡¯re so arrogant, but you¡¯re so cute when you don¡¯t have a bad mouth.¡± Bing Bing blushed and said immediately, ¡°That¡­ that¡¯s because I want to eat your crystal!¡± ¡°Besides, I¡¯m very cute¡­¡± Before Bing Bing could say anything, she heard the sound of something breaking through the ground! A big hole suddenly appeared in the ground behind Gu Ning! In less than a second, a giant sandworm appeared behind Gu Ning. It opened its teeth like petals, ready to swallow Gu Ning! Bing Bing was shocked, ¡°Holy sh*t! Sneak attack! You can¡¯t handle this! You¡¯re too weak!¡± However, Gu Ning had expected all this. He had built a soul circuit on the surface of his body the moment she heard the sound of the ground breaking! The blue light wrapped around Gu Ning¡¯s right foot! In less than a second, when the sandworm appeared, Gu Ning had already exerted strength on his foot. He turned around and kicked the sandworm hard! In the next moment, it was thrown back more than ten meters by the strong impact. When it hit the wall hard, it was crushed by Newton¡¯s law and exploded! There was an ice path more than ten meters long between Gu Ning and the sandworm! The ice butterfly in Gu Ning¡¯s body was stunned. She knew that she was strong, and she knew that her master, Gu Ning, was the best among his peers. However, she never expected her master to be so powerful! It was normal for Bing Bing to have such a thought, because Gu Ning had not attempted to capture her himself. Besides, Gu Ning had always asked the red dragon queen to scare the butterfly. Now that the ice butterfly knew Gu Ning¡¯s real strength, she did not dare to mess with this man anymore! She would rather be his pet! However, Bing Bing did not expect that to be less than one-tenth of Gu Ning¡¯s real power! After dealing with the sandworm, Gu Ning looked at the whole road. He said expressionlessly, ¡°The whole road is doomed. There are monarch-level beasts everywhere.¡± ¡°What did you say? There are monarch-level beasts everywhere?¡±Bing Bing was almost scared out of her wits. ¡°Then go back and call more people! Retreat!¡± ¡°Retreat? No need.¡± Gu Ning stretched his muscles. ¡°Who cares how many beasts there are? Just kill them all.¡± ¡°Kill them all? Do you really think you¡¯re superman? How many could you kill? 50 or 100?¡± Gu Ning smiled. ¡°If there are hundreds, kill hundreds.¡± Bing Bing wanted to say something else, but Gu Ning cut off the telepathic connection with Bing Bing. He then built a soul circuit in his whole body, and his speed was greatly improved! Gu Ning went to the location where the police officer had mentioned. He moved forward at the speed of a sports car, looking for the members of the team. Many fierce beasts, which seemed to be guarding a specific route to prevent the enemy from passing by, tried to devour Gu Ning. However, Gu Ning, who was as fast as lightning, threw out a single punch! He accelerated and then threw a punch! One punch after another! The sound of explosions kept echoing in the air! Deng Wang finally opened his eyes after being unconscious for a long time. At that moment, he was covered in wounds. His right leg was broken and his bones had been exposed. His teammates were even more miserable. Some of them were in so much pain that they were barely alive while others just remained motionless. It was unknown if they were even alive! ¡°F*ck¡­¡±Deng Wang raised his eyes and looked at the monster sitting on the throne that had been custom-made for him. It had three heads, sharp teeth, strong limbs, and a ferocious face. It looked exactly like the legendary Cerberus! However, it could also stand on its hind legs like a human! It glanced at Deng Wang, and the head in the middle of the three heads raised the corner of its mouth. The head on the left said, ¡°You humans still dare to say that cockroaches are stubborn? You are obviously more afraid of death than cockroaches, right?¡± ¡°F*ck you!¡± The furious Deng Wang picked up the broken electric spring blade on the ground and limped toward the Cerberus to build his lightning soul circuit. ¡°Hahahaha, you really overestimated yourself!¡± The right side of Cerberus¡¯s head spat out a fireball towards the floor beside Deng Wang! The fireball collided with the ground and the aftershock directly knocked Deng Wang Down. This time, he would no longer had the ability to stand up after falling down. ¡°Slaying the slayers? What a nice name. Cerberus continued to taunt, ¡°Oh right, let me tell you something fun. When you were unconscious just now, your teammate successfully used the walkie-talkie to call for help. ¡°He looked around nervously as if he was afraid that I would see him, but I saw him and didn¡¯t stop him. It wasn¡¯t until he finished his last sentence before I crushed him. ¡°This is really fun. I just want to see what kind of character you bunch of trash can call in? An army? Will you be able to make it in time? Hahaha!¡± The laughter of Cerberus echoed in the whole building. Deng Wang hammered the floor angrily. A young voice came through the door: ¡°An army?¡± Gu Ning walked into the building with one hand in his pocket. He looked up at Cerberus and said, ¡°You think too highly of yourself, puppy.¡± Chapter 30 The Cerberus opened its eyes wide when it saw Gu Ning, because it had sent out more than 10 beasts to patrol Hai Xiu West Road after dealing with the slayers! They were all commander-level or overlord-level beasts! The beasts were divided into servant-level, infantry-level, commander-level, lord-level, overlord-level, epic-level, legendary-level, and god-level. Could this child¡¯s familiar have already surpassed the overlord-level? Could a human kid be able to control a familiar above the overlord-clevel? Impossible! How could a noble overlord-level beast like me become this kid¡¯s familiar?! This kid must have been extremely lucky to come in front of me! The Cerberus¡¯s three heads spun rapidly at the same time. All of its mental activity took up a single thought in his mind. Then, all three heads opened their mouths. At the same time, the three huge heads of Cerberus spat out huge fireballs! The fireballs directly blew up the door where Gu Ning was standing! The flames of the explosion swallowed Gu Ning whole! Seeing Gu Ning being swallowed by the Flames, Cerberus laughed out loud. The three heads of Cerberus laughed at the same time as if there were hundreds of thousands of people laughing at the same time. ¡°Gu Ning!¡± Deng Wang shouted desperately. Gu Ning was only a 15-year-old boy to him. He was the one who had asked him to join the Exterminators. It was all his fault that Gu Ning had died! Not only that, Cerberus was also mocking Deng Wang, ¡°Is this the help you¡¯ve brought here? Is that why you¡¯re here? So you can have one more dead person with you? Hahahaha!¡± The Cerberus laughed, taunted, and acted like a bitch. Deng Wang was indeed affected. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­¡±! ¡°If I had gathered more people¡­ if I hadn¡¯t invited Gu Ning to be a slayer in the first place, maybe the result wouldn¡¯t have been the same¡­¡± Deng Wang felt guilty all of a sudden. He even wanted to fight with Cerberus so that he could die faster. However, not long after that, he felt a cold chill and the sound of the air freezing! Could it be¡­! A bold idea occurred in Deng Wang¡¯s mind. Deng Wang looked up. At the spot where Gu Ning exploded, the burning flame was suddenly absorbed by something and turned into steam! ¡°Captain Deng, you cried so hard. Did the cake fall to the ground?¡± Gu Ning, whose body was covered by his soul circuit, smiled at Deng Wang. Seeing that, Cerberus widened its eyes. ¡°You didn¡¯t die? That¡¯s impossible! I¡¯ve already used the fireball of hell!¡± ¡°Fireball of Hell? That¡¯s it?¡± Gu Ning smiled. ¡°Ever since I came in, the only impression I have of you as a talking dog is that you can talk. Can you be any more useless?¡± The seven-meter-tall Cerberus was furious, ¡°What the hell did you say? !¡± ¡°I said¡­¡± ¡°F*ck you!¡± Suddenly, there was a loud crack! A huge ice spear formed in the air! In a split second, a huge ice spear formed at Gu Ning¡¯s position! It took less than two seconds to fly towards the Cerberus! The three-meter long spear was aimed at the seven-meter-tall Cerberus¡¯s head! The Cerberus was quick. Before the ice spear touched the Cerberus¡¯s eyes, it raised its fists and smashed the ice spear into pieces. But that was exactly what Gu Ning wanted! After the ice spear was broken, the Cerberus looked down and saw Gu Ning already at its feet! Then, Gu Ning jumped up, holding two long swords made of ice in his hands. Without saying a word, he stabbed the Cerberus¡¯s waist! Deng Wang said humbly, ¡°Those swords would be your bane. It will remind you of what you did today when your kidneys hurt.¡± ¡°F*ck you!¡±The Cerberus was furious. It threw a punch at Gu Ning! However, Gu Ning had predicted it. He jumped onto the Cerberus¡¯s fist! ¡°Too slow.¡± Gu Ning used the Cerberus¡¯s fist as the starting point and climbed onto its arm! The Cerberus tried to beat Gu Ning away like it was flicking away ants. However, Gu Ning pierced both of the eyes of the Cerberus¡¯s head with his sword! A thick layer of frost formed on the eye! Gu Ning continued, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll stab you with my sword. I¡¯ll teach you how to look at people in the dark!¡± ¡°Ah! My Eyes! You damn reptile! You damn beast! I¡¯ll make you pay!¡± The head in the middle of the Cerberus was talking, while the other head was shooting a strong blast of fire at Gu Ning! However, Gu Ning moved so fast that the blast of the Cerberus could not even touch a hair on Gu Ning¡¯s head. Gu Ning dodged to the side, then stomped on the head of the Cerberus. He waved his right hand, and a huge ice hammer was formed in an instant! As soon as the head in the middle of the Cerberus was raised, Gu Ning held the huge hammer and hit the head in the middle of the Cerberus! Bang! The head in the middle of the Cerberus hit the ground, creating dozens of cracks! The other head howled in pain! ¡°This hammer¡­ I can¡¯t think of a reason. I just wanted to hit it.¡± Gu Ning did not even bother coming up with a story. He snapped his fingers. In the next second, countless ice halberds fell from the air and stabbed into the ground next to the Cerberus¡¯s head. Four of them nailed the Cerberus¡¯s limbs, locking the Cerberus¡¯s entire body! In less than ten minutes, Gu Ning hammered the seven-meter-tall overlord-level beast into a pitiful state like a stray puppy. ¡°Why¡­? It¡¯s just a kid¡­¡± The Cerberus could not help saying, ¡°Why are you so powerful?¡± ¡°Save it for your next life. Don¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time. Go back to Hell.¡± Gu Ning used ice to create a giant axe and carried it on his shoulder. He was like a butcher, ready to decapitate Cerberus. When he was about to decapitate Cerberus, he asked Deng Wang, ¡°Deng Wang, your teammates are still alive, right?¡± Deng Wang nodded and answered with difficulty, ¡°Although they are all severely injured, I can still feel their soul circuits. They are still alive.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Ning looked at Cerberus again. ¡°After we kill this thing, let¡¯s have them celebrate.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ning chopped off one of Cerberus¡¯s heads. Blood gushed out, but he did not stop. He continued to raise his axe. The Cerberus was not ready to give up! It was fine if it died, but it had to make the boy pay! If it could not defeat the boy, it would summon a stronger beast!! Chapter 31 I cannot accept this! I cannot accept this! I need someone to avenge me! I¡¯ll summon the strongest of kings to defeat this arrogant kid! I¡¯m not worried about the price. If the cost is my life, so be it! I must¡­! Puff! Before Cerberus could finish its thoughts, another head was chopped off by Gu Ning. Green blood kept gushing out of the two severed necks. At first glance, it looked like sewage in the gutter. Gu Ning did not feel anything but nauseous. ¡°That¡¯s disgusting.¡± Gu Ning looked disgusted. ¡°I knew you were ugly on the outside, but to be this ugly on the inside as well!¡± ¡°However, if I don¡¯t chop off your head, I¡¯ll be in even deeper trouble. Forget it, I¡¯ll be throwing up soon.¡± Gu Ning did not expect Cerberus to have a backup plan. Just as Gu Ning was about to swing the axe again, a red crack appeared on the surface of the Cerberus¡¯s body. Gu Ning found that the surface of the Cerberus¡¯s body was like molten lava under a volcano, with red cracks appearing on it. ¡°Boy! You¡¯re going too far! Ah!¡± Gu Ning did not forget to complain, ¡°Holy sh*t, the dog is on crack.¡± However, Gu Ning did not give the dog any time to catch his breath. He swung the huge axe down at a high speed! The huge ice axe chopped down with a huge force! However, this time, it did not kill the last head of the Cerberus like before. Instead, the huge axe was shattered into two halves! Gu Ning finally realized that the dog had become stronger after it was cracked. Why did he not use this skill just now? Could it be that he was putting in a last-ditch effort at the cost of his life? Was that why he used this trick in such a near-death state? Gu Ning guessed in his heart. Then Gu Ning could not help but complain, ¡°Why is he acting like a videogame¡¯s boss? It¡¯s like a second health bar spawning in a second phase. He¡¯s so shameless.¡± ¡°Fortunately, the main character in the game can¡¯t be compared to me.¡± Gu Ning clenched his fists and started to construct another soul circuit. ¡°I¡¯m much more powerful than the main character!¡± Just as Gu Ning was about to smash the head of the guy in front of him, the Cerberus shot out a strong shockwave from its eyes and mouth! The attack of the Cerberus was more powerful than all of the fire attacks it had used before! It must be because it had exchanged its last life for its current power. Gu Ning tried his best to dodge the attack at the right time like before. He would kill the Cerberus with one more punch, but the wounds on its back would be burned to ashes. Gu Ning formed a huge ice shield with his hands. She then retreated to Deng Wang and the other wounded soldiers to block the last fire attack of the Cerberus. However, Gu Ning did not expect the Cerberus to stop attacking after only a short while. What the hell was he doing? After confirming that Cerberus was not attacking anymore, Gu Ning opened a hole in the ice shield so that he could see the situation of the Cerberus clearly. However, he found Cerberus opening its mouth with its last head. It kept spitting out purple light waves into the sky. ¡°Come to me, Demon! Your most loyal servant has offered his help! Please come to me, Demon!¡± The Cerberus chanted. It broke through the clouds. Then, a huge pattern with purple patterns in the sky! It blocked the appeared sunlight in this area! ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your breath?¡± Gu Ning complained. Gu Ning had never fought a beast before. Of course, he did not understand it. He had not even seen the purple pattern before. Deng Wang, who had done many missions to eliminate beasts, looked at Gu Ning in horror. ¡°This is¡­ a summoning ceremony for its Master!¡± ¡°A summoning ceremony?¡± Gu Ning asked curiously, ¡°Are you saying that this beast has made a contract with another beast? And now it¡¯s summoning its own beast?¡± ¡°No¡­ it¡¯s not that simple¡­¡± Deng Wang shook his head. ¡°This beast hasn¡¯t formed a contract, and it doesn¡¯t have its own beast. ¡°It¡¯s summoning a higher-level beast from another dimension that¡¯s stronger than it!¡± As soon as Deng Wang finished speaking, a huge creature appeared in the huge purple pattern in the sky! The shadow of its head covered the whole area! ¡°Who is summoning me?¡± Finally, it revealed a giant bull¡¯s head. It looked down at Gu Ning and the others as if it was looking at a worm on the ground. The demon ox stretched out its hand from the summoning ceremony and pointed at Gu Ning, ¡°Are you the opponents that the summoner wants me to kill?¡± The demon ox looked at them and laughed out loud, ¡°Are you guys really worthy to be my opponents?¡± The moment the demon ox raised his doubts, the whole area seemed to tremble. Purple Lightning flashed in the sky. Deng Wang, who was on the ground, was already trembling with fear. Gu Ning, on the other hand, was still complaining, ¡°What? The Demon Ox from Journey to the West?¡± ¡°Are you really not afraid at all?¡± Deng Wang was shocked. ¡°A beast that can be summoned across dimensions must be at least at the epic level!¡± ¡°There are three levels of beasts: servant level, infantry level, commander level, lord Level, overlord level, epic level, legendary level, and God level. The epic level has already reached the top three levels!¡± Hearing that, Gu Ning nodded. He thought that his Xiao Hong had already reached the god level a long time ago. Compared to Xiao Hong, the other beasts were nothing but trash? ¡°Kid!¡± The Demon Ox in the sky shouted loudly, ¡°I can feel your disdain. Why should you be? I¡¯m the one who should be scornful!¡± Gu Ning smiled. ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± The Demon Ox was completely enraged. He grabbed the summoning channel with both hands, as if he wanted to use brute force to descend faster. ¡°After my servant is summoned, I¡¯ll make sure you die a horrible death!¡± Gu Ning was still smiling. He even shook his head, as if he was listening to a child. ¡°Fine! Fine! Just you wait! When I come out, I¡¯ll cut you into pieces and spread your ashes in every cesspool in the world!¡± The Demon Ox roared. Even though there was a space-time tunnel between them, they could still feel his anger. ¡°Wait for you to come out? Why should I wait for you to come out?¡± The Ox Demon was stunned. Gu Ning crossed her arms and smiled, ¡°Since you¡¯re so powerful and need the dog to summon you here, then¡­¡± Gu Ning came up to the Cerberus and snapped her fingers. In an instant, countless ice swords appeared above the Cerberus¡¯ last head. Then Gu Ning said, ¡°If the servant dies, the summoning ceremony will be interrupted, right?¡± Chapter 32 ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Seeing Gu Ning like this, the demon ox shouted angrily, ¡°Stop! I¡¯m warning you to stop!¡± ¡°Bye-bye, Little ox.¡± Thousands of ice blades made by Gu Ning fell from the sky, aiming at the head of Cerberus, who was still performing the summoning ritual. However, the defense of Cerberus, which was in this mode at the cost of its life, seemed to have been greatly improved. The ice blades could not cut off its head. ¡°This last-minute mode isn¡¯t bad.¡± Gu Ning complimented it for a while, then changed the topic, ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s useless. There are too many ways for me to defeat you.¡± ¡°For example, I can freeze you into ice and break you into pieces. What do you think?¡± When Cerberus, who was in the middle of the summoning ceremony, heard this, its pupils dilated. Its eyes were full of fear, which was exactly what Gu Ning wanted to see. Next, Gu Ning constructed a soul circuit on her palm, then walked to Cerberus casually, feeling the tension between the Cerberus and Giant Ox. ¡°Stop! Stop! Damn it! If you stop, I¡¯ll make your death easier! If you dare to move forward, I¡¯ll show you what pain can really be!¡± The ox shouted loudly, while Gu Ning kept his eyes on Cerberus. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Puppy. It¡¯ll be over soon.¡± Gu Ning walked over and slapped Cerberus on its butt. Then, there was a freezing sound in the air. Gu Ning¡¯s soul circuit turned the Cerberus¡¯s body into an ice sculpture from its butt up! Gu Ning swung his leg on the ice sculpture. In the next moment, the ice sculpture broke into pieces and fell to the ground. It could be vaguely heard that the Cerberus was murmuring before it died, ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t¡­ want¡­ to¡­¡± The moment the Cerberus turned into the ice sculpture, the teleportation channel of the demon ox that had revealed its head in the sky started to disappear. ¡°You! You don¡¯t respect me!¡± The demon ox said, ready to release his power in the teleportation channel to shatter Gu Ning. However, the demon ox could not release his power across the dimensions. He could only look at Gu Ning with a smile that made the demon ox extremely angry. ¡°No one has ever¡­ no one has ever dared to do this to me!¡± The demon ox gritted his teeth, ¡°You¡¯re an insignificant human on the blue planet. You¡¯re dead!¡± ¡°Even if I have to run to the ends of the earth, even if we¡¯re several degrees apart, I¡¯ll find you, find you, and crush you!¡± After that, the demon ox made a hand seal at the entrance of the portal and started to chant. Then, a magic pattern appeared on his hand seal. The next moment, a black light shot out through the portal! On Gu Ning¡¯s side, when Gu Ning had just torn Cerberus into pieces and interrupted the summoning ceremony, and the teleportation channel for the Demon Ox was getting smaller and smaller, a black light suddenly shot out! Gu Ning reacted quickly. Seeing the black light shoot out, she quickly dodged to the left and right to avoid it. However, the light could turn around! It turned left and right like the back lights of a racing car! Gu Ning walked down unexpectedly! At last, the strange black light successfully hit Gu Ning. Gu Ning looked disappointed. ¡°Damn, I was hit.¡± Gu Ning suddenly felt strange. ¡°Eh? Why didn¡¯t I feel anything after I was hit? It didn¡¯t hurt at all, as if it was really just a light.¡± Gu Ning was really confused. Although she knew he was strong enough to beat the Cerberus, the Tauren was obviously stronger than the Cerberus. Under the clothes on Gu Ning¡¯s back, a black mark of a minotaur quietly appeared on Gu Ning¡¯s waist. After the giant ox disappeared, the sky in the whole area suddenly became clear again. Gu Ning turned to look at Deng Wang, who was still recovering mentally and physically, and said with a smile, ¡°We can have a celebratory drink this time, but you have to go to the hospital first.¡± Gu Ning called the ambulance and waited for it to arrive. After the ambulance arrived, Gu Ning was about to leave. He said, ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t need me anymore. Let the doctor take care of it later.¡± Gu Ning was about to leave, but Deng Wang stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to tell my team members about this when they wake up?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I hate trouble. You¡¯d better give me the bonus after you¡¯ve made me famous. I¡¯ll be happier that way.¡± Gu Ning stopped him. ¡°In short, you¡¯d better keep their impression of me as a high school student who had just joined the crime squad.¡± Deng Wang wanted to say something more, but Gu Ning left quickly. Deng Wang, who was carried into the ambulance, was still wondering if he should tell his teammates the truth. He saw his teammates all open their eyes. Deng Wang was surprised. He asked, ¡°Are you awake?¡± One of the female team members answered, ¡°We¡¯ve been awake for a long time. The summoning ceremony of Cerberus was so loud. It¡¯s hard not to wake up.¡± ¡°So just now¡­ ?¡± Deng Wang asked tentatively. The other killer nodded, ¡°We all saw it.¡± ¡°That high school student named Gu Ning¡­ isn¡¯t that annoying¡­¡± Then the team members murmured, ¡°I¡¯ll treat him to dinner some other day.¡± The female team member glanced at him, ¡°I¡¯ll treat him first.¡± Deng Wang was relieved to see this scene. Everyone had witnessed what Gu Ning had done so they wouldn¡¯t make things difficult for him. Gu Ning soon went home. As soon as she lay on the bed, she found the butterfly tattoo on Deng Wang¡¯s body was strange, so she let Bing Bing out. Bing Bing came out and said, ¡°Are you going to die? You¡¯ve cut off contact with me for so long! What if you couldn¡¯t defeat your enemy? Do you want me to help you collect your body?¡± Gu Ning spread out her hands and said, ¡°You can¡¯t defeat my enemy, either. Why should I call you out?¡± Bing Bing wanted to refute, but Xiao Hong said, ¡°Master, although Bing Bing is being rude to you, she¡¯s not wrong. Don¡¯t cut off the connection with your familiars in the future, okay? We were worried about you!¡± ¡°Actually, we¡¯re not worried about you¡­¡± Bing Bing said arrogantly. ¡°Xiao Hong? How did you know about this?¡± Gu Ning smiled bitterly. Xiao Hong answered, ¡°It¡¯s because master has broken off contact with Bing Bing. Bing Bing had no choice but to inform Xiao Hong through the contract.¡± Chapter 33 Gu Ning was surprised to hear that. She asked, ¡°Can the contracted beasts of the monster trainer communicate with each other directly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s always been like this,¡± Bing Bing said. ¡°After the monster trainer forms a contract with the contracted beast, he or she will build a spiritual bridge in his or her mind. When the monster trainer contracts a second beast, he or she will also build a spiritual bridge. Therefore, it¡¯s natural for the two contracted beasts to be able to communicate with each other.¡± Gu Ning felt that his knowledge had expanded. He could not help but say, ¡°Really? Why haven¡¯t I heard about this before?¡± Hearing that, Xiao Hong and Bing Bing looked at each other. They said in unison, ¡°Because there are no masters walking around with two speaking contracted beasts.¡± Gu Ning was a little embarrassed. Most people didn¡¯t have a system like Gu Ning, which sent familiars forwards through time itself. Most humans could only live for 100 years, while a familiar could only start speaking after 1,000 years. Not unless it was an ancestral contracted beast. Xiao Hong did not forget to say, ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry about what I just said, Okay?¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll listen to Xiao Hong,¡± Gu Ning smiled. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. Look at my body. I¡¯m not hurt at all.¡± Gu Ning lifted up his shirt to show Xiao Hong his waist and back. Bing Bing said she would not look, but Xiao Hong noticed something. She asked, ¡°Master, why is there a tracking mark on your waist? What happened?¡± ¡°Huh? What do you think is on my waist? A tracking mark? where is it? I can¡¯t see it myself.¡± Xiao Hong took a mirror to show Gu Ning his waist. At that moment, Gu Ning finally saw it. There was indeed a mark, and it looked like a bull¡¯s head. Was that not the Ox constellation? ¡°It turned out that the black light that the Ox had shot at him meant something. It gave me such a strange tattoo. Is it to track me?¡± Gu Ning suddenly realized. ¡°An ox? Indeed, it would pay a price to have such a mark¡­ could it be that the beast that master just fought with came from another dimension?¡± Xiao Hong asked. Gu Ning nodded. ¡°I was fighting a three-headed dog that was as dominant as Bing Bing. However, the three-headed dog couldn¡¯t defeat me, so it used a summoning ritual before it died.¡± Gu Ning continued, ¡°Then the villain died because he talked too much. Halfway through the summoning ritual, the big bull started to talk nonsense.¡± ¡°He kept saying that he was an epic beast. I thought that he talked too much, so I went over and killed the three-headed dog. Then the summoning ritual was stopped.¡± Xiao Hong said, ¡°An epic-level beast?¡± Then she said with disdain, ¡°Isn¡¯t he just a small fry?¡± Only the overlord-level Bing Bing turned pale. She looked like she was about to vomit blood. But she couldn¡¯t refute Xiao Hong, because Xiao Hong was a god-level beast! ¡°The lowest level of a beast across dimensions is an epic-level beast. Xiao Hong thought that beast was so fierce. How dare it put a tracking mark on you? It¡¯s really reckless!¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, it seems that beasts that can cross dimensions often appear in this world,¡± Gu Ning asked. Xiao Hong nodded and answered, ¡°Many. There are many mysterious dimensions in this world. If a powerful warrior is born, he or she can cross dimensions.¡± ¡°Many dimensions?¡± Gu Ning was a bit interested. ¡°Such as?¡± Xiao Hong answered carefully, ¡°There are many, countless, such as the elf latitudes, the ghost latitudes, the vampire latitudes, the angel latitudes¡­¡± ¡°According to Xiao Hong¡¯s experience, the mark on Master is a fierce beast from the demon latitudes.¡± Gu Ning looked at the mark again and asked, ¡°So the mark means that he will come to me, right? Wouldn¡¯t that bring a lot of trouble?¡± Xiao Hong nodded, ¡°Basically, he will try his best to come to this latitude because the mark will make him agitated. He won¡¯t be able to calm down until he kills you.¡±. ¡°Then, Xiao Hong, do you have a way to remove the mark?¡± Gu Ning asked, ¡°Otherwise, that bull will be too busy trying to come here.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, master. It doesn¡¯t matter whether the mark is removed or not. It¡¯s better to keep it. We¡¯ll wait for him to come now. Xiao Hong is worried that he won¡¯t dare to come. ¡± Xiao Hong¡¯s eyes became sharp. It said fiercely, ¡°I¡¯d like to see which minion from the devil¡¯s dimension dares to touch my man!¡± Bing Bing was scared by Xiao Hong¡¯s look. She even said to Xiao Hong that Gu Ning was her man. She and the red dragon queen were both Gu Ning¡¯s master¡¯s beasts, but only the red dragon queen dared to say that Gu Ning was her man¡­ Bing Bing thought to herself. She hoped that one day, she would be strong enough to say to Gu Ning, ¡°You¡¯re my man!¡± Gu Ning was touched when she saw Xiao Hong¡¯s reaction. She smiled and said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll listen to Xiao Hong. Let¡¯s leave this mark, though we don¡¯t know if he can come or not.¡± Thus, Gu Ning¡¯s story came to an end. What Gu Ning did not know was that while Gu Ning was talking to his two contract beasts, the old man next door was having a meeting again. It was still the same old meeting between the robbers and the Tiandao Company. However, this meeting was obviously different from the previous one. The content of the meeting was more important, and the atmosphere was tense. On the side of the Heavenly Dao company sat a refined man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was a new face to everyone present, but his oppressive feeling made it hard for them to breathe. ¡°You might not have heard what I just said clearly, so I¡¯ll say it again.¡± He supported his chin with both hands and looked around at everyone present. He calmly said, ¡°I say, everyone present is trash. Does anyone object?¡± Even though he had been scolded, the entire place was silent. No one dared to speak or even breathe loudly. They were just silent, dead silent. The Man with the gold-rimmed glasses took out a cigar from his suit and said, ¡°Very good. All of you have agreed, so¡­ follow the instructions of the higher-ups. From now on, you will only listen to me.¡± ¡°When I say go east, you can¡¯t go west. When I say don¡¯t succeed, you will die. You have to choose between completing the mission and dying. I am your only God, understand?¡± The Man with the gold-rimmed glasses asked again. Everyone quickly nodded, as if they would be beheaded if they were a little late. ¡°Then,¡± the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was very satisfied with this. Then, the corners of his mouth rose and he said, ¡°It¡¯s time to start formulating our next, greatest plan.¡± Chapter 34 A new day had arrived. Gu Ning had nothing to do on that day. It was school day again, so he had to carry his bag to school. Gu Ning took out his keys and locked the door. After locking the door, he paid special attention to the neighbor next door. When he found that they were still asleep, he walked directly to the bus stop. As usual, Gu Ning walked into the school. He was surprised or admired by others. Gu Ning did not care about anyone else. After all, none of the students here could be compared to Gu Ning. Gu Ning was about to walk into his class when he saw a few hooligans standing at the door. Gu Ning frowned, as if they were trying to block him. However, as soon as he entered the class, the hooligans immediately lined up in a line. They all bowed 90 degrees and shouted in unison, ¡°Good morning, brother Ning!¡± Gu Ning was a bit shocked by the scene. These ignorant hooligans acted like he was a gangster. However, Gu Ning still ignored them and walked directly to his seat. Ever since Liu Yuxi, the most popular girl in her class, changed her seat, Gu Ning thought it would be much quieter when he went back to school, but it was still the same. He was speechless. Just when Gu Ning sat down, Liu Yuxi came to her. Liu Yuxi asked shyly, ¡°Gu Ning, can you do me a favor?¡± Gu Ning felt suspicious. Why did Liu Yuxi come to him after he had switched places? Gu Ning really wanted to cuss at her. However, when he saw the poor girl asking for his help, he suppressed his anger. Gu Ning said bluntly, ¡°What is it? Just tell me.¡± Liu Yuxi looked away, ¡°Well, I think you did well in the joint exam¡­¡± Gu Ning interrupted her impatiently, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Liu Yuxi looked at Gu Ning and got straight to the point, ¡°Well, since you¡¯re so good, can you help me find a material for my familiar¡­ ?¡± Gu Ning replied immediately, ¡°No.¡± Liu Yuxi said hurriedly, ¡°I can pay you!¡± However, this very normal sentence attracted the attention of the students, who all turned to look at Gu Ning¡¯s seat. Gu Ning continued, ¡°Oh? How many beast crystals are you going to pay?¡± Hearing this, the students were bored. They turned to their own business, thinking that the class beauty had done that. Liu Yuxi blurted out, ¡°10,000.¡± Gu Ning pouted. ¡°10,000 is too little¡­¡± Liu Yuxi was anxious. ¡°20,000?¡± Gu Ning did not say anything. He hummed and touched his chin. Liu Yuxi said again, ¡°50,000 yuan is enough! That¡¯s all I have!¡± Gu Ning smiled and said, ¡°Deal!¡± Liu yuxi paused and said, ¡°I asked you for your help because I think you¡¯re very powerful. That place is the holy water secret land. It¡¯s a bit dangerous, so¡­¡± Gu Ning interrupted her, ¡°So you think you can go to Hell and back alone?¡± Liu Yuxi did not say anything. Gu Ning said slowly, ¡°That¡¯s fine. Add another 50,000, or I won¡¯t move.¡± Liu Yuxi was fuming. At that moment, she really wanted to slap herself. After a while, Liu Yuxi gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Fine! 100,000 then! It¡¯s just ten golds!¡± Gu Ning smiled slyly, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s settled then. I¡¯ll go after school. I¡¯ll come back after school.¡± If Liu Yuxi heard that, she could not believe it. She might even laugh at Gu Ning. But Gu Ning was standing opposite her. She could not believe it either. Liu Yuxi nodded heavily. The bell rang. Liu Yuxi immediately went back to her seat. Gu Ning did not want to go at all. After all, he was a person who was afraid of trouble. However, as Gu Ning was negotiating with Liu Chenxi, Bing Bing immediately jumped out and said to him in her mind, ¡°Holy water secret land! I want to go there! I want to go there! There¡¯s the ice god mushroom I want! I¡¯ll become very powerful after eating it! I can level up several levels!¡± Gu Ning thought about it for a moment. He would be able to level up if he went there. Besides, he could earn some extra money, he may as well squeeze Liu Yuxi dry of a few more resources. After school, Gu Ning walked out of the door. He wanted to take a bus home. When he was about to get on the bus, a hand stopped him. It was Liu Yuxi. Liu Yuxi said to Gu ning directly, ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree to go there directly after school?¡± Gu Ning said directly, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re going to the holy water secret land.¡± Liu yuxi shouted loudly, ¡°Then why are you getting on this bus? Are you lying to me?¡± Gu Ning snorted coldly, ¡°Can¡¯t I go home and get a motorcycle? How can I go there if the bus is so slow?¡± Liu Yuxi said, ¡°I don¡¯t care! I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Gu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had seen Bing Bing make such a fuss, but he had never seen Liu Yuxi make such a fuss. Gu Ning said impatiently, ¡°Fine, fine, fine. You can come with me.¡± Liu Yuxi then got on the bus with him. There was nothing to talk about on the way. Gu Ning got off the bus and went straight to his house. Liu Yuxi did not stop until Gu Ning drove a black motorcycle. Gu Ning gave a helmet to Liu Yuxi and said, ¡°Hop on. What are you waiting for?¡± Liu Yuxi was also shocked. She had never been in a car with a boy, let alone a motorcycle! Liu Yuxi slowly got on. Gu Ning said directly, ¡°Sit tight.¡± Gu Ning twisted the throttle. The motorcycle started to speed up. The motorcycle was very fast. Gu Ning was also very good at driving. He easily passed several cars. Most importantly, he followed the traffic rules, except that he was speeding. However, he was a licensed slayer, no traffic police or pedestrians stopped him. Liu Yuxi, who was behind him, felt that Gu Ning was driving too fast, so she hugged him directly. Gu Ning could not help it. After all, she was so close to him. There was something wrong there. From the city to the suburbs, and then from the suburbs to the outside of the city, the two-hour journey only took one and a half hours. When they left the city, Gu Ning¡¯s cell phone started to lose signal. Liu Yuxi and Gu Ning had to follow Liu Yuxi¡¯s map. Following the map provided by Liu Yuxi, Gu Ning kept driving. After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the Holy Water Secret Land Liu Yuxi mentioned. Chapter 35 Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi got off the motorcycle when they reached their destination. Liu Yuxi lost her balance and fell on Gu Ning. Gu Ning helped Liu Yuxi to stand up. She put her hand on Liu Yuxi¡¯s waist and said to her, ¡°I won¡¯t take responsibility if you break it.¡± Liu Yuxi did not say anything, but her cheeks turned red all of a sudden. Gu Ning saw Liu Yuxi¡¯s condition. He did not think it was a big deal, but to avoid awkwardness, Gu Ning let go of Liu Yuxi¡¯s waist first. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s an entrance to the secret land. Maybe we¡¯ll be lucky enough to see it after two rounds.¡± Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi searched one after another. After dozens of minutes, Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi finally found it. From afar, they saw an oval door that was glowing with a green light. Gu Ning had never been to a secret land before. He was a little surprised by the sight, but he did not expect Liu Yuxi to be more surprised than him. ¡°Why do you look more surprised than me? You don¡¯t know anything about the secret land, do you?¡± Gu Ning asked. ¡°I¡­ Haven¡¯t been here before¡­ That¡¯s why I need you to go with me. I¡¯ve paid you. You Can¡¯t go back on your word! You must help me find what I want!¡± Liu Yuxi answered. ¡°How troublesome. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have asked you for 100,000 beast crystals.¡± Gu Ning complained slightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go in. What are we waiting for?¡± Liu Yuxi followed Gu Ning in. However, the moment they stepped into the secret land, the scene in front of them turned into a forest. The forest did not look like a holy water secret land. ¡°This¡­ is the holy water secret land?¡± Gu Ning was confused. ¡°Where¡¯s the water?¡± Then he turned to Liu Yuxi. ¡°Did you bring us to the wrong place?¡± ¡°No way! No matter what, I can still read the map!¡± Liu Yuxi was confused. ¡°I saw the location on the map just now!¡± Liu Yuxi was so stubborn. Gu Ning took a few steps forward doubtfully, then accidentally stepped on a puddle. All of a sudden, the ground shook violently! Gu Ning was fine. Liu Yuxi was a bit confused by the sudden earthquake. She almost fell down. If Gu Ning had not held her, she would have been sent sprawling. However, the small earthquake had raised up a stone gate. There were four words written on the gate, ¡°Holy water secret land¡±. There was a blue light on the gate. Behind the gate, there was a staircase leading to the darkness. ¡°It seems like it¡¯s really here. It¡¯s just a trick.¡± Gu Ning looked at Liu Yuxi. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We should find what you want soon.¡± Liu Yuxi followed Gu Ning down the stairs without saying a word. The stairs were dark except for the light of the setting sun shining in from the entrance. Gu Ning stepped on the stairs. There was a sound, and an echo was heard. Every time they went down the stairs, there would be an echo. No one knew how many echoes there were. Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi finally finished walking down the stairs. When they lifted their feet again, they almost fell down. Gu Ning looked around. He quickly built her soul circuit and made an ice lamp. As they walked, Gu Ning looked around. They were all made of stone bricks. Except for some moss on the ground, they were all grown on the wet floor. Gu Ning did not hesitate. He continued to walk forward. Although he did not feel anything strange, he was constantly on his toes. Gu Ning felt like he could not finish walking down this long corridor. Gu Ning turned around and said to Liu Yuxi, ¡°Show me the map.¡± ¡°Here.¡± Liu Yuxi handed the map to Gu Ning. Gu Ning took the map and looked at it. He finally found something. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong.¡± Liu Yuxi asked hurriedly, ¡°What¡¯s Wrong?¡± Gu Ning stared at the map and said, ¡°The entrance of the map will turn left after we go down the whole staircase, but we have to go straight here.¡± Liu Yuxi looked at the bottomless end in front of them. Gu Ning continued, ¡°We¡¯ve been walking for almost an hour. There¡¯s definitely something strange here.¡± Liu Yuxi whispered, ¡°Strange? That¡¯s what the map shows. I don¡¯t know anything else.¡± ¡°Do you really trust the map in your hand?¡± Gu Ning rolled his eyes at Liu Yuxi. Liu Yuxi was not naive, but silly. ¡°Xiao Hong, you¡¯re at a higher level and have a lot of experience. Do you know why?¡± Gu Ning decided to ask her familiar instead of pinning her hopes on Liu Yuxi. Xiao Hong released its perception power in Gu Ning¡¯s body. It looked around carefully. After thinking for a while, it answered, ¡°Master, you two might have been affected by the nightmare.¡± ¡°Affected by the nightmare? What do you mean?¡± Gu Ning asked. Xiao Hong answered Gu Ning, ¡°It¡¯s a kind of illusion. The beast that releases the illusion can choose to make others fall into the trap once they step into it.¡± ¡°For example, the one in front of you. You might have touched the trap after you entered the secret land. You might be exhausted, but in fact, you¡¯re still standing there.¡± Gu Ning asked again, ¡°How do we solve it?¡± ¡°The key is the fake image. The problem is that we don¡¯t know where the trap is designed. Master only needs to destroy the trap,¡± Xiao Hong answered. ¡°That¡¯s easy.¡± After hearing Xiao Hong¡¯s words, Gu Ning immediately released a bunch of ice blades from the ice lamp in his hand. ¡°If you can¡¯t find the mechanism, just break it with the ice blades!¡± Gu Ning released thousands of ice shards! Then, the fake image in front of Gu Ning seemed to be torn apart, revealing its original appearance. It was a straight left turn. When the ice lamp in Gu Ning¡¯s hand was lit up again, Liu Yuxi was so surprised that she could not speak. Gu Ning coughed slightly. Liu Yuxi came back to her senses and followed Gu Ning. Gu Ning looked at the map and suddenly found a red dot. Gu Ning pointed at the red dot and asked Liu Yuxi, ¡°What¡¯s This?¡± Liu Yuxi looked at it and answered, ¡°This is a red blood pool. It¡¯s one of the most dangerous places in the holy water secret land. The five-colored grass I want grows here.¡±. Soon, they arrived at the center of the secret land. It was a strange red lake. There was a sky-blue mushroom growing around the lake. Maybe this was the ice god mushroom that Bing Bing had mentioned. Chapter 36 As expected, before Gu Ning could ask, Bing Bing, who was in Gu Ning¡¯s body, started to dance around in Gu Ning¡¯s body excitedly when she saw the mushroom: ¡°Yes, yes! This was my favorite mushroom when I was a fierce beast! I can improve my cultivation greatly by eating one!¡± ¡°I know, I know. The mushroom won¡¯t run away.¡± Gu Ning walked up and put her backpack on the ground. Gu Ning also looked around and found many strange things growing around the strange red blood pool. Besides the mushroom, there were other plants that looked different than usual. There were even humanoid fruits with heads and mouths that were talking to the plants around them. However, Gu Ning only needed the ice god mushroom. He did not know if Liu Yuxi would take the rest. Gu Ning glanced at Liu Yuxi, but she was not moved. She murmured, ¡°Without the blood spring crystal, I have to go deeper.¡± None of these things were what the little girl wanted? Gu Ning ignored her and started to pick the mushrooms. The so-called ice god mushroom looked like an ordinary mushroom. However, it was blue in color and covered with a thin layer of frost. Gu Ning was also careful to see if there were any mechanisms, but it was easy to pick it out. ¡°So smooth,¡± Gu Ning thought to herself. As soon as Gu Ning zipped the bag, a loud noise came from the middle of the lake! Gu Ning reacted quickly and made an ice blade with his right hand, protecting Liu Yuxi behind him. He looked at the surface of the lake coldly, ¡°It¡¯s really not that simple.¡± Then, a huge red turtle head appeared in the water. It started to laugh strangely. ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Liu Yuxi was not as calm as Gu Ning. Seeing the huge turtle and the strange laughter, Liu Yuxi was so scared that she grabbed Gu Ning¡¯s arm. ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± The big red turtle slowly rose from the bottom of the lake while laughing. The turtle was standing on two legs! When it finally came out, it turned its head to Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi, and said in a low voice, ¡°In the past 200 years, you¡¯re the first human to break the illusion of nightmare that I¡¯ve cast!¡± ¡°What¡­ what?¡± Liu Yuxi was shocked before Gu Ning could say anything. ¡°A turtle can talk!¡± Gu Ning said helplessly, ¡°Beasts that have lived for more than a millennia can talk. This is a secret land. Isn¡¯t it normal to have millennia-old beasts?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t tried this before?¡± Gu Ning complained. ¡°How can that be common sense? Do you think a millennia-old beast is like a cabbage in the market? It¡¯s normal for ordinary people to have seen it,¡± Liu Yuxi retorted. Gu Ning thought to himself, ¡°Rare? There are only two in my family!¡± But Gu Ning could not tell Liu Yuxi that, so she answered in a low voice, ¡°Then I¡¯m well-informed.¡± ¡°Enough!¡± The three-meter-long turtle with two legs was angry, ¡°Can you show me some respect? Do you think this is a small theater of love?¡± Gu Ning thought to himself, you¡¯re a commander-level beast, and you want me to respect you? The contract beast of Bai Yang, the young master of the Bai Group, was a commander-level beast. Seeing Gu Ning rolling his eyes, the red turtle, which had been on its own for thousands of years, was furious. ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll make you pay the price!¡± The turtle suddenly opened its mouth! It spat out several blood-red icicles from its mouth! However, it was so obvious that even Liu Yuxi would not be caught in such an attack. Therefore, Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi, who had started glowing in a blue light, easily dodged the icicles. Unexpectedly, the icicle exploded behind Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi like a bomb. The ice shards and Sparks flew in Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi¡¯s direction! ¡°Ah!¡± Liu Yuxi could not dodge it in time. She shouted. ¡°Hide behind me.¡± Seeing this, Gu Ning directly created two ice shields with her hands. Then, she spun the shields to block all the attacks. ¡°You bastard, are you trying to trick us?¡± Gu Ning said coldly. The turtle laughed, ¡°Interesting, interesting. It seems that we have to play with something real. So¡­ how long can you last? Kids?¡± ¡°How long?¡± Gu Ning, who had already built a soul circuit with the butterfly, snorted. The next moment, he flashed in front of the turtle and gave it a high kick! The turtle¡¯s body was covered in frost. Then¡­ it disappeared! ¡°Fake?¡± Gu Ning was shocked. He turned around and warned Liu Yuxi, ¡°Run!¡± Liu Yuxi heard Gu Ning¡¯s warning. She turned around and found that the turtle had opened its mouth! ¡°Xiao Ying!¡± Liu Yuxi hurriedly summoned her own pet. With a flash of pink light, Liu Yuxi¡¯s familiar, the thousand-flower butterfly, appeared in front of her. The moment the familiar appeared, it began to fight with the turtle! Who knew¡­ that this turtle was also fake! Liu Yuxi was shocked, and said, ¡°How¡­ how is this possible? !¡± As Liu Yuxi was still in a daze, a huge fish mouth suddenly appeared under her feet! Liu Yuxi was stunned. Her familiar, the thousand-flower butterfly, immediately sacrificed itself to save its master, and was the first to be swallowed by the Turtle! It would take Liu Yuxi a week to heal the thousand-flower butterfly! Before that, she could no longer build a soul connection with the thousand-flower butterfly! But now, the most important thing was not the familiar, but whether Liu Yuxi could survive in this situation! Liu Yuxi screamed and closed her eyes. At that moment, she had even thought of her last words. However, she was still too young to die! At the critical moment¡­ ¡°As my former deskmate, don¡¯t give up so easily.¡± Hearing Gu Ning¡¯s voice, Liu Yuxi suddenly opened her eyes. She found Gu Ning, who was holding an ice shield in his left hand and an ice sword in his right hand, was already beside her! Liu Yuxi was not the only one who was surprised. Even the turtle couldn¡¯t help but widen its eyes! How could this guy be so fast! The Turtle did not expect Gu Ning to be faster than itself! ¡°Let¡¯s see how you dodge this!¡± Gu Ning first threw a shield at the turtle¡¯s head, then spun his body like a top, and stabbed the other sword into the turtle¡¯s body! The turtle screamed and disappeared again. Seeing that, Gu Ning smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s see how you run now.¡± The turtle was a little surprised when it heard Gu Ning¡¯s voice, then it finally found the problem! Because the sword of ice that Gu Ning had made himself was still stuck in its body! Chapter 37 Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi stood by the blood pool, but saw a long sword made of ice flying back and forth in the air with only the hilt exposed. ¡°The turtle¡¯s ability is invisibility?¡± Liu Yuxi was surprised. Gu Ning smiled as if he had expected this. Then he used his right hand to create a soul circuit to release his power. She controlled the ice sword in the turtle¡¯s body! Gu Ning pulled hard, trying to control the turtle¡¯s position through the ice sword. The turtle also started to fight with Gu Ning. The two kept pulling each other. ¡°You still want to escape?¡± Gu Ning smiled, ¡°You¡¯re dreaming.¡± The light from Gu Ning¡¯s soul circuit became stronger. Then, the turtle found that the ice sword in its body was getting bigger and bigger! It was getting bigger and bigger! It was more than seven meters long! The ice sword was sinking deeper into the turtle¡¯s body! When the ice sword was so heavy that the turtle could not even walk, the ice sword was hanging in the air. ¡°This is the moment to kill.¡± Gu Ning seized the opportunity. As soon as the tip of the ice sword was on the ground, Gu Ning controlled the hilt of the ice sword to be lowered in another direction! The huge ice sword slashed down. Blood splattered everywhere. The turtle¡¯s body was finally presented in front of Gu Ning. Liu Yuxi could not bear to see such a horrifying scene. She quickly turned her head to cover her eyes. Gu Ning clapped his hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Liu Yuxi looked at Gu Ning¡¯s figure. Her heart was slightly moved. When Gu Ning turned his head around, he said rudely, ¡°Why are you dragging me down?¡± This stoic man would only serve to piss her off. What was she thinking! She should not be tempted by him! Liu Yuxi thought to herself. ¡°Now that the turtle is dead, what were you looking for? Go and find it,¡± Gu Ning said. ¡°I know! You don¡¯t have to tell me!¡± Liu Yuxi said angrily, then walked towards the red blood pool. Gu Ning was a bit confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? I just saved you, and now you¡¯re looking at me like that.¡± Liu Yuxi walked to the red blood pool, holding a flashlight in her hand. She was searching for something at the bottom of the pool. She kept searching. Not long after, she said, ¡°I found it!¡± When Liu Yuxi came back to the surface, she was holding a few red crystals in her hands. ¡°Finally, I found it.¡± Gu Ning looked relieved. ¡°But I have to say, you really know how to pick things.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to, either!¡± Liu Yuxi said as she picked. Gu Ning spread out her hands, letting Liu Yuxi continue to pick. She didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s so hard to level up my familiar, the thousand-flower butterfly,¡± Liu Yuxi said. ¡°I have to use this blood spring crystal to level up.¡± ¡°When I signed the contract with this familiar, it was obvious that it wasn¡¯t strong enough to fight. I was already being looked down upon by the people around me.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not willing to accept it. I believe I can make up for the gap between my familiars! As long as I pick another ten blood spring crystals, my colorful butterfly will be promoted to commander-level!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you can understand my feelings, because our familiars are all butterflies of the same species¡­¡± Liu Yuxi talked a lot, but Gu Ning did not say anything. ¡°Maybe because of that, I started to have a good impression of you, so I¡­¡± Liu Yuxi turned to look at Gu Ning, only to find that she had already disappeared.. Gu Ning, a blunt, daft man, had left her alone in such a desolate place! ¡°Gu Ning!¡± Liu Yuxi stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. No one answered her, so she had to continue collecting. She did not stop until she had finished collecting all the blood crystals in the red blood pool. She said angrily, ¡°Gu Ning, that damn guy! I hate him so much!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t talk to him next time, unless I have to come out again. Next time, I¡¯ll reduce his pay! I won¡¯t let him live comfortably! I¡¯m so angry!¡± Liu Yuxi walked out of the secret area with a backpack full of blood spring crystals. At that moment, she was still in a bad mood. When Liu Yuxi walked out of the gate of the secret area, she saw the dead bodies of fierce beasts lying on the ground outside the gate! She was so shocked that her jaw almost fell off! What was going on? Liu Yuxi saw some movement among the dead bodies. Not far away, a fierce beast was beaten until it was convulsing with blood. When she took a closer look, she saw a person there! It was Gu Ning! Gu Ning kicked the beast down, then stepped on the dead body of the Beast. She murmured, ¡°The 60th Beast, done.¡± What did Gu Ning say? 60 fierce beasts?! In the short time that she had been collecting the blood crystal in the red blood pool, Gu Ning had killed 60 fierce beasts outside the secret land? That was too terrifying! Liu Yuxi was shocked. At that moment, Gu Ning saw Liu Yuxi too. She turned around and said casually, ¡°You¡¯re here? Why are you so slow?¡± ¡°Well¡­ There are a lot of things¡­ a little too slow¡­¡± Liu Yuxi answered hesitantly. She did not dare to tell Gu Ning that she had been collecting blood spring crystals when Gu Ning had just come out of the secret land. Gu Ning had not thought of that either. She said casually, ¡°After the turtle died, a new beast attacked us, but I killed it before it could make a sound.¡± ¡°After that, more and more beasts appeared at the door. I just took it as a practice. I killed them one by one when I got out of the secret land. There were about 60 beasts.¡± What did Gu Ning say? Did he just¡­ save her! And she was talking bad about him.. Gu Ning found Liu Yuxi stunned. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Liu Yuxi shook her head. ¡°No¡­ nothing! I was just thinking about something.¡± Gu Ning nodded. ¡°You¡¯ve picked the things, right? Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Yes.¡± Liu Yuxi started to stutter again. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to dinner when we get back.¡± ¡°So generous?¡± Gu Ning was a bit surprised, but he did not find anything wrong. She just said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m hungry too. It¡¯s almost time to eat when we get to the city.¡± Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi got back on the motorcycle and left. After Gu Ning and Liu Yuxi left, the bottom of the red blood pool shook. Countless bubbles emerged from the bottom of the pool. When the blood pool shook violently, a pair of giant purple vertical eyes suddenly appeared on the surface of the red blood pool! The pair of eyes looked in the direction where Gu Ning had left. They squinted slightly, revealing a strange look in their eyes. Chapter 38 After saying goodbye to Liu Yuxi, Gu Ning went home and let Bing Bing out. As soon as Bing Bing was let out, she looked at Gu Ning expectantly. Gu Ning touched Bing Bing¡¯s head, then opened the zipper, revealing the ice mushroom. Bingbing looked at it, drooling. Gu Ning said, ¡°Bing Bing, do you want to eat it?¡± Bing Bing nodded heavily. Gu Ning smiled. She took out the ice mushroom from the bag and waved it in front of Bing Bing. Bing Bing was about to bite it, but Gu Ning pulled her hand back. Bing Bing missed. Bing Bing covered her mouth, almost crying, ¡°Master, you tricked me!¡± Gu Ning said slowly, ¡°If you promise to stop being unreasonable, I¡¯ll let you eat it.¡± Bing Bing shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m not being unreasonable.¡± Gu Ning said, ¡°Just say yes or no.¡± Bing Bing pouted and said, ¡°I promise. I promise you!¡± Gu Ning smiled and put the mushroom in front of Bing Bing, ¡°That¡¯s my girl.¡± Bing Bing snorted and took a bite of the mushroom. She swallowed the mushroom like a piece of bread. Gu Ning was speechless. ¡°What the hell are you? How could you finish such a big mushroom in just a few bites? Did you starve to death in your previous life?¡± Bing Bing swallowed the mushroom in one bite. Suddenly, her eyes turned dark blue. The energy she emitted was incredible. All of a sudden, Bing Bing laughed, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve leveled up!¡± Seeing Bing Bing¡¯s appearance, Gu Ning felt that she had grown up a lot. She was almost as slim as Xiao Hong. Gu Ning smiled, ¡°Congratulations, Bing Bing, you¡¯ve leveled up again!¡± Bingbing smiled, ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ve reached the master level! I¡¯m so powerful now!¡± Gu Ning was a bit surprised. She thought, ¡°I can¡¯t believe this mushroom is so powerful!¡± Bing Bing pouted and turned around, ¡°Of course! You must treat me well in the future! Buy me potato chips, coke¡­¡± Before she could finish, Xiao Hong punched Bing Bing. ¡°What? You can make any requests after you¡¯ve reached a new level? Stop It!¡± Then, Bing Bing started to cry softly. Suddenly, Gu Ning thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Hong. ¡°Xiao Hong, is there any news from next door?¡± Xiao Hong walked out from the side. ¡°No news at the moment. I¡¯ve been listening for a long time. Do you want to see how they¡¯re doing now?¡± As Xiao Hong spoke, she projected the view with her snake eyes. It showed Wu Si, the man with the golden silk, and the other members who had broken into the house. Wu Si said, ¡°We¡¯ve summoned you here this time because of the demon¡¯s summoning. Our Heavenly Dao company has a distribution in all the latitudes of the Blue Planet. It¡¯s also set up for the demon¡¯s Summoning.¡± The sect master asked, ¡°Then what do you need us to do this time?¡± Wu Si said, ¡°Sect master, don¡¯t worry. Our Heavenly Dao company has also spent a lot of money to summon this demon venerable this time. We also hope that the people who broke into the sect can be of some use.¡± After a while, Wu Si said, ¡°It¡¯s just that your recent actions don¡¯t seem to be right. The frequency of failure is too high.¡± The sect master said, ¡°We feel as if we have been fooled by people all along. Every time we break into the sect, someone knows in advance. The exterminators are always ready for us.¡± The sect master said, ¡°If Your Heavenly Dao company really doesn¡¯t want to cooperate with us, there¡¯s no need for us to continue our cooperation.¡± The golden-haired man behind Wu Si roared, ¡°Sect master! Are you going to rebel or what?! Do you believe that you can disappear from this place right now? !¡± Wu Si used his hand to stop the golden-haired man. ¡°Wu Yi, don¡¯t get so agitated. Let me finish first.¡± The golden-haired man called Wu Yi crossed his arms and stood to the side. Wu Si glanced at the sect master again. ¡°Now is not the time to be unreasonable. When have I ever said that I don¡¯t want to work together with you guys? But I also think it¡¯s very strange. Why do you guys feel like you¡¯re being targeted by the Exterminator?¡± The sect master crossed his legs. ¡°How would I know? In short, this matter has to be resolved. Otherwise, our operation this time will also be finished.¡± Wu Si stroked his beard and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already checked the internal personnel of our company, especially those who recently came here with me. There are no problems.¡± ¡°All kinds of methods have been tried. The test results show that our Heavenly Dao company has no problems at all. This can only mean one problem.¡± Wu Si said, ¡°Sect master, let me give you a piece of advice. Take good care of your subordinates.¡± The sect master said, ¡°This definitely has nothing to do with us breaking into the sect. I¡¯ve also checked all the people present. There¡¯s definitely no mole.¡± Wu Si waved his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this first. Our Heavenly Dao company won¡¯t do anything. If I do anything, would we have to put our own people at risk?¡±? ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the plan to summon the demon venerable first.¡± The sect master sighed and nodded. Wu Si continued, ¡°This time, the demon venerable¡¯s plan will be set outside the city. We¡¯ll start the plan to summon the demon venerable around the outside of the city.¡± ¡°To break through the door, we need to make preparations in the east and south. Our Heavenly Dao company will make preparations in the west and north.¡± ¡°Wu Yi will be in charge of all the summoning rituals and summon the demon. If we¡¯re afraid of the slayers being in the city, we might as well set the plan outside the city. Isn¡¯t that much better?¡± Wu Yi nodded. The master said, ¡°As long as nothing goes wrong in this operation, we¡¯ll try our best.¡± Wu Si nodded. ¡°That¡¯s all for now.¡± Gu Ning was a bit surprised after hearing that. He had already typed the message on her phone and was ready to send it directly. On the other side of the phone was Deng Wang, the director of the extermination department. Deng Wang was a bit confused when he saw the message. He did not know whether Gu Ning was joking with him or being serious. Because Gu Ning made it sound like he was having a live meeting with Heavenly Dao Company. Deng Wang was a bit suspicious. When he was about to send a message to him, Gu Ning sent another message. The message was like this: ¡°One hour later, about 100 kilometers away from the city, they will summon a Demon Venerable and attack the city directly.¡± Deng Wang did not have time to worry after seeing this message. He immediately gathered all the slayers. The situation on the other side fell into a strange silence. Apart from Wu Si, everyone present was in a state of bewilderment. At this moment, the sect master spoke first. ¡°So fast? Are you able to prepare in time?¡± Wu Si gave him a sideways glance. ¡°Our Heavenly Dao Company has already prepared the summoning tools. ¡°As far as I know, the means of transportation for you to break into the sect shouldn¡¯t be considered slow. 300 kilometers per hour shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°This time, we must successfully summon demon venerable giant bull from the demon plane to this latitude!¡± Chapter 39 Gu Ning and the other two started to take action! There were the most people at the gate. The gate and Heavenly Dao Company also had a new leader, Wu Yi, who was good at using trickery to break through the enemy. Wu Yi divided the people at the gate into several groups. He set up devices in the cities at the edge of the Blue Star Federation that could release magic materials continuously. All the devices were connected by a line and turned into half a bull¡¯s head-shaped pattern. This was the ritual imprint that could summon the great ox from the demon dimension. The other half of the pattern needed to be prepared by the disciples outside the city-state. This way, it was a summoning ritual, and it was placed right outside the city-state. After leaving the room, the people from the Heavely Dao Company, who were sitting in a car asked, ¡°This operation is on such a large scale. What if we accidentally alert the local exterminators?¡± ¡°The exterminators will not appear. I have already made sufficient plans for this.¡± Hearing this, Wu Yi, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, revealed an evil smile and said, ¡°The matter of ensuring that nothing interrupts our plan will have to be done by your Heavenly Dao Company.¡± Deng Wang also called for a meeting with the killer company. They were divided into several groups, each equipped with the best equipment. He was wearing a combat suit. He looked at the group with a serious face. ¡°Last time, the best team in our city was wiped out when we were fighting the Cerberus.¡± ¡°If we didn¡¯t have Gu Ning¡¯s help, we would have been turned into a pile of bones by now!¡± Deng Wang¡¯s words were powerful and inspiring. ¡°Our enemy today is the same type of enemy that was summoned the last time. It¡¯s an epic beast from another dimension!¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s the strongest opponent that we¡¯ve ever faced, we have millions of civilians behind us. We¡¯re protecting the Blue Star Federation!¡± Deng Wang successfully encouraged the hearts of everyone present. Therefore, including the slayers who came from other cities to provide support, the spirits of everyone present became invigorated. Just like that, Deng Wang and the others set off in their special cars. However, not long after they set off¡­ ¡°Director Deng!¡± One of the team members who was the closest to Deng Wang in Deng Wang¡¯s combat team suddenly opened his mouth and said to Deng Wang, ¡°We have received a call from the public¡­ !¡± ¡°Call the police? Can¡¯t you see the situation? Xiao Cai!¡± Deng Wang couldn¡¯t help but get angry: ¡°We¡¯re heading out of the city-state to stop the descent of an epic-level beast, and now you¡¯re telling us that someone has called the police?!¡± ¡°But¡­ But¡­¡± His teammates, who were more timid, did not dare to refute Deng Wang. They only said weakly, ¡°The caller said that terrorists have appeared in the capital!¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± Deng Wang was stunned and continued to ask, ¡°How many terrorists are there? How did the call transfer to our side? Can¡¯t the people in the capital handle it?¡± ¡°The terrorists have roughly been numbered to be¡­ hundreds or thousands of people¡­¡± Xiao Cai replied, ¡°Because the people in the capital have come to support us, the remaining exterminators in the capital are not enough to solve the current situation.¡± Xiao Cai looked at Deng Wang and asked, ¡°What should we do now, Boss?¡± Deng Wang gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Divide the existing people into two groups. Send 100 people to the capital first. The rest of the people will follow me to fight the beasts outside the city.¡± Deng Wang had no choice but to call Gu Ning. Gu Ning had already left before Deng Wang called him. Gu Ning was not a person who liked to wait for death. Besides, this guy was the same bull who had been ridiculed by Deng Wang and wanted to kill him. ¡°Since you want to fight with me, I¡¯ll come and play with you whether I come or not,¡± Gu Ning said to himself. He stepped on the gas pedal and sped on the road! The intruder successfully arrived outside the federation. He started the special device in the border cities of the federation and started the ritual. Wu Yi looked at the darkness in the sky. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, ¡°When the demon venerable arrives, the whole world will be ours.¡± ¡°You wish.¡± Gu Ning¡¯s voice came from behind Wu Yi. The next moment, Gu Ning, who had built a blue soul circuit, came behind Wu Yi and kicked him! Wu Yi, the man with golden hair, glanced at Gu Ning coldly. He also built a soul circuit and dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed! Wu Yi looked at Gu Ning. He squinted his eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s you? The high school student who lives next door to Wu Yi?¡± ¡°So¡­¡± Wu Yi¡¯s eyes became sharp. ¡°You¡¯ve been the one who has been tipping of the exterminators?¡± ¡°Tipped them off?¡± Gu Ning smiled. ¡°I¡¯m also a member of the exterminators.¡± ¡°Damn you! It¡¯s all your fault! We¡¯ll teach you a lesson this time!¡± The intruder also noticed Gu Ning. Ten people came behind the man, ready to help him kill Gu Ning. The rest of them continued to surround Gu Ning. Wu Yi did not realize how serious the situation was. He thought he could deal with Gu Ning, who seemed to be an underage high school student. This time, Gu Ning did not hide his power anymore. Instead, she directly built the soul circuit of the Red Dragon Queen on his upper body and the ice butterfly on his lower body. Then, he could fight ten enemies at the same time! Gu Ning could easily defeat these people. However, Wu Yi¡¯s purpose was not to defeat Gu Ning, but to delay Gu Ning! Wu Yi left the battle scene and sped up to the summoning ceremony. The sky turned darker and darker, as if it was the dawn without any light or moonlight! At this moment, all the people of the Blue Star Federation could not help looking at the strange dark sky outside the federation. Gu Ning also felt the time was tight. He quickly defeated the 25th person. Finally, Gu Ning came to Wu Yi¡¯s side and was about to attack¡­! A loud sound was heard! A strong light shone down from the strange pattern of purple light in the sky! It formed something like a teleportation channel! The light wave sent Gu Ning flying. Gu Ning forced himself to stand up in the air. He thought to himself, ¡°I was still too late.¡± Gu Ning looked up to the sky. He saw a giant ox¡¯s head peeking out from the teleportation door. The ox looked at Gu Ning from head to toe, then its eyes turned red! ¡°Kid! You¡¯re dead!¡± The giant ox roared. Then, a pair of giant ox feet stepped out of the portal. Boom! The heavens and earth shook! The giant ox head monster had come to this dimension from the portal! Chapter 40 At that moment, the giant ox demon, an epic beast from the demon dimension, had arrived at this dimension and appeared in front of everyone! The disciples of the sect were overjoyed. They hurried to worship the giant ox demon, and kept mumbling about some supreme god. However, the giant ox, who stood over 50 meters, did not have time to care about them. His eyes were fixed on Gu Ning, who had been marked. The red eyes of the demon ox seemed to express his emotion at this moment. He punched his chest with his fist and roared crazily! ¡°Kid! I told you, you can¡¯t escape!¡± The demon ox roared. ¡°Today, I will kill you with my five fingers!¡± The intruders finally realized that the demon ox they had summoned from another dimension had a deep grudge with Gu Ning! ¡°Hahaha, great! Let¡¯s settle the old scores together!¡± The golden-haired man, Wu Yi, couldn¡¯t help laughing. ¡°You damn high school student, today is the day of your death!¡± Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! The intruders under the Black Fog started to build their own soul circuits! Colorful light patterns shone in the dark night. Gu Ning stood in opposition to everyone. He smiled, as confident and powerful as ever. He said arrogantly, ¡°If you think you can fight, then let¡¯s fight.¡± Gu Ning¡¯s more brilliant blue and red patterns were mixed with the soul circuits. He had kicked his opponents into pieces! Gu Ning¡¯s legs were like a golden cudgel. He waved his cudgel and attacked the vital parts of his enemies one by one! It was the first time that the footmen had seen Gu Ning¡¯s real strength. They were all dumbfounded. was he really just a high school student? Was there a monster trainer of this level living next to their people in the meeting room every day? This must be the Bruce Lee from the world of monster trainers! If this guy ran to the next door and killed them, no one would have been able to find his body even after a month! Seeing that Gu Ning was still unharmed after killing the swarming enemies like a god of death, the giant ox threw a punch in Gu Ning¡¯s direction! The giant fist fell towards Gu Ning like a meteorite! However, Gu Ning, who had built a soul circuit with the ice crystal butterfly, would not let the demon ox succeed. Gu Ning jumped onto the demon ox¡¯s fist! However, the intruders were doomed! The demon ox¡¯s attack directly hit his allies. The intruders fell to the ground and could not get up again! Gu Ning, who was in the sky, constructed the soul circuit of the red dragon queen. He flipped in the air and waved his hands. A huge machete appeared in Gu Ning¡¯s hands, gu Ning suddenly chopped at the ox¡¯s neck! However, Gu Ning¡¯s powerful attack only burned the giant ox¡¯s neck a little! ¡°Die!¡± The ox threw a punch at Gu Ning in the air! Gu Ning used the flames to create an explosion in the air, increasing the speed of the Demon Ox¡¯s fall to the ground and dodging the attack. Gu Ning, who was about to fall, managed to stand firmly on the ground. A perfect superhero landed on the ground. However, as soon as she returned to the ground, the intruders surrounded her from all directions. Gu Ning finally realized that the number of intruders was amazing. When Gu Ning was about to build a soul circuit to fight against them again, a huge cannonball came from behind Gu Ning. Gu Ning looked back. It was Deng Wang. He said, ¡°Brother Gu, we¡¯re here to support you.¡± Deng Wang was carrying a cannon which could only be used by monster trainers. Behind him stood a group of killers with all kinds of weapons. Gu Ning nodded and said half-jokingly, ¡°The minotaur is an epic beast. Tell our brothers to be careful not to wet their pants.¡± ¡°Epic¡­¡± Deng Wang looked at them and said fiercely, ¡°Who cares? As long as we can kill it, the killers will not back down. We will fight until the last moment!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Gu Ning was also eager to fight. ¡°Then kill the Minotaur and the cockroach!¡± The fight between the intruder and the killer was about to break out! The hatred in the Bull Demon¡¯s eyes grew stronger. It started to look around for Gu Ning. ¡°Here, Bull Demon.¡± At this moment, Gu Ning¡¯s voice came from the Bull Demon! It turned out that after the fight, Gu Ning had used the power of the ice crystal butterfly to make herself jump more than ten meters in the air. Then, Gu Ning stood on the giant ox demon like she did when she fought with the Cerberus last time. Flames were burning in her hands! ¡°Damn you! I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± However, the giant ox demon and the Cerberus were different. Not only was the demon¡¯s defense stronger than the Cerberus, but its speed and attack power were also much higher than the Cerberus! Gu Ning obviously felt a bit tired on the demon ox. At this moment, the demon ox seized the opportunity and punched Gu Ning! Gu Ning crossed her arms in front of her body to block the demon Ox¡¯s punch, but she was still hit to the ground by the impact. Just when Gu Ning wanted to stand up, the demon ox released a strong pressure. Gu Ning felt the gravity around her had been doubled or tripled! ¡°This time, you¡¯re dead for sure, Bug!¡±The demon ox waved his hand in the sky. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky! The Demon Ox was about to stab the spear made of lightning into Gu Ning¡¯s body! However, at this critical moment, Gu Ning suddenly felt something in the deepest part of her heart. Her soul seemed to be connected to something at this moment! A fierce fire burned in front of Gu Ning¡¯s chest. Then, a ray of light that was even more dazzling than the sun shone out from Gu Ning¡¯s chest! The Ray of light was so strong that even the epic-level demon ox couldn¡¯t help closing his eyes. Then, a beautiful woman appeared outside the ray of light! She was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a red dress, with fair skin and wavy hair. Her face was as epic as an ancient Greek statue carved by a knife! That was right. It was Gu Ning¡¯s first contracted beast, the Red Dragon Queen, who had reached the level of a God! At that moment, she was floating in the air. Her vertical pupils were sparkling with red light. She said in an angry voice, ¡°How dare you bully my man?¡±
