Bab 22: Chapter 22: Absolute Damage Reduction and Water Element Mastery
Controlling two summoned beasts simultaneously is an unparalleled feat worldwide. Now, the two SSS-ranked summoned beasts entered a state of training.
By the next morning, a pile of energy liquids had been entirely consumed.
The swirling First Form Golden Dragon had astonishingly advanced to the early seventh rank.
Meanwhile, the Second Form Two-Tailed Sacred White Fox, meditating on the sofa, had reached the mid-seventh rank.
Xiao Ye, able to sense both summoned beasts, felt an explosive power coursing through his body. Controlling the Two-Tailed White Fox, he punched through the sound barrier, visible ripples emanating through the air.
After trying out the Two-Tailed White Fox, Xiao Ye's consciousness shifted to the First Form Golden Dragon's mind.
The Golden Dragon inherently defied gravity, hovering naturally in mid-air. A gentle sweep of its tail shattered the sound barrier with a bang, the air fracturing like a spider web before returning to normal.
"One at early seventh rank, the other at mid-seventh rank, still far from the ninth rank."
Returning to his human form, Xiao Ye pondered where to acquire cores.
Two eighth-rank cores could bring a seventh-rank SSS-level summoned beast to the early eighth rank, and two ninth-rank cores were needed to advance from the eighth to the early ninth rank.
In total, four ninth-rank cores and four eighth-rank cores were required to elevate both summoned beasts to the ninth rank.
System Panel:
**[Host: Xiao Ye]**
**[Evolution Points: 100]**
**[Summoned Beast: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (First Form Two-Toed Golden Dragon)]**
**[Rank: Early Seventh Rank]**
**[Innate Skills]**
**[Golden Dragon Might: Mental pressure effect, reduces enemy attributes by 50%, supreme among kin, with dominion bloodline effects]**
**[Invincible Golden Body: Already formidable dragon physique, skill activation enhances attack tenfold, defense tenfold]**
**[Summoned Beast Form Upgrade Function]**
**[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon: First Form Two-Toed: 0/100 Evolution Points, Second Form Three-Toed: Gains an innate skill and control over a natural element]**
Xiao Ye allocated the remaining 100 evolution points to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's form upgrade function.
After allocating the points, the system panel content changed.
Simultaneously, Xiao Ye sensed a mysterious energy added to the contract power.
**[Summoned Beast: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (Second Form Three-Toed Golden Dragon)]**
**[Innate Skills]**
**[Golden Dragon Might] [Invincible Golden Body]**
**[Absolute Damage Reduction: Any attack can be reduced by 50%, including physical, mental, magical, law, stellar explosion, and cosmic origin attacks]**
**[Water Element Mastery: As the king of water, the Second Form Three-Toed Golden Dragon controls the water element]**
**[Summoned Beast Form Upgrade Function]**
**[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon: Second Form Three-Toed: 0/200 Evolution Points, Third Form Four-Toed: Gains a core concept innate skill and a natural element mastery]**
The upgraded form's innate skills amazed Xiao Ye.
The Golden Dragon's physique was already formidable, comparable to divine weapons.
In battle, **[Golden Dragon Might]** reduces enemy attributes by 50%, coupled with **[Absolute Damage Reduction]** to halve received damage, and **[Invincible Golden Body]** to amplify attack and defense tenfold.
Thus, Xiao Ye noted: The Second Form Three-Toed Golden Dragon is an absolute tank and a powerhouse.
Returning to human form, the bald instructor called the three to the dormitory's entrance.
There, a fully armed hunting team awaited, with "Leopard Hunting Team" tags on the captain and vice-captain's chests.
"What is this? Newcomers joining before the college entrance exam? They're just burdens!"
"Captain, why agree? We won't win the outstanding hunting team award this month!"
"We're the strongest seventh-rank hunting team, taking on dangerous tasks. Newcomers will only drag us down!"
The four pairs of contractors, apart from the captain and vice-captain, were complaining.
The captain and vice-captain exchanged helpless looks; this was a command from the highest authority, beyond refusal.
Refuse, and it means disobeying orders—leading to reprimands and penalties!
The bald instructor brought Xiao Ye and the others over, introducing them:
"Your ranks have reached the fifth rank. The youth training camp's training is no longer suitable for you. From today, you'll temporarily join this seventh-rank hunting team for missions. Only through real combat in the wild can you rapidly enhance your combat skills!"
Then, the bald instructor introduced Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi to the Leopard Hunting Team.
"Instructor, I want to join this hunting team too!" Nangong Siyao, not being called, quickly requested. As Xiao Ye's second contractor, she couldn't fall behind.
The bald instructor shook his head, "No! You haven't formed a contract yet; you must stay in the youth training camp for training."
The Leopard Hunting Team members were tense at the prospect of the fruit girl joining.
They couldn't handle another burden!
However, hearing the bald instructor's refusal, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Their Leopard Hunting Team was the strongest among seventh-rank teams! No room for burdens or vases!
Xiao Ye reassured Nangong Siyao, "You should train at the youth camp first; your rapid advancement needs adjustment to the sudden power surge."
Though disappointed, Nangong Siyao had to accept this.
Then, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi joined the Leopard Hunting Team, setting off for the Wild Plains Base City's defense line.
Nangong Siyao pouted, driving her off-road vehicle to follow from a distance.
At the Wild Plains Base City's border with the Demon Snake Forest, the Leopard Hunting Team, led by their captain, arrived at a dense thicket.
Nearby, groups of demon snakes were rampaging.
"Our task today is to repel the seventh-rank demon snake group ahead."
"The enemy has three seventh-rank beasts, ten sixth-rank beasts, and several fifth-rank beasts. Xiao Ye, Cheng Bingxi, your target is to assist in killing fifth-rank beasts. We'll handle the seventh and sixth-rank beasts!"
"Xiao Ye, Cheng Bingxi, can you do it?"
"Yes, captain, we can!" Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi responded.
A flash of white light on the scene, and the Leopard Hunting Team's captain and members simultaneously summoned contract beasts, as if in sync. Following the mysterious aura, a sleek black-striped leopard, two steel lions, and two yellow-striped tigers appeared.
Xiao Ye was surprised that the captain and vice-captain's summoned beasts were black-striped leopards, not the so-called king of beasts, the yellow-striped tiger.
Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi also summoned contract beasts, with the Second Form Two-Tailed Sacred White Fox appearing.
"White Fox, stay in the thicket and watch us perform. Don't make a sound, or you won't know how you died," said a seventh-rank yellow-striped tiger before the five summoned beasts charged ahead.
Meanwhile, Nangong Siyao drove her off-road vehicle into the area.
Pouting, she complained, "Xiao Ye, you jerk, don't think you can leave me behind!"
