This battle allowed Ye Ming's Three Uncles to see clearly.
Their nephew seemed to be different from ordinary people.
"So, does this count as me proving myself?"
Ye Ming smiled faintly as he looked at his Three Uncles.
Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng waved his hand, "I accept it."
Second Uncle Ye Jun had always doted on Ye Ming. Now that he saw him with a Contracted Demoness, yet still possessing abilities far beyond common sense, he naturally wouldn't dwell on it further.
So he quickly said with a smile, "You've proven it."
"A First-Tier completely crushing three Second-Tiers; if that's not proof, then what is?"
"Third Brother, don't you agree?"
Third Uncle's expression suddenly stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Ever since Ye Ming returned home, he had been the only one playing the villain. Earlier, he had even boasted that if Ye Ming won, he would not only stop interfering but also apologize to him.
He had set the bar too high for himself, and he was having trouble backing down for a while.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all looking at me with expressions like you're scrutinizing a criminal?"
"Wasn't I just worried about this brat Ye Ming?"
Third Uncle glared unhappily at Second Uncle and Ye Zheng, then asked one last question,
"Ye Ming, Third Uncle has one last question for you."
"The world says that Contracted Demonesses have weak combat power in the early stages, and you've proven yourself on that point."
"But what about the backlash? Contracted Demonesses are prone to being consumed by slaughter!"
Oh, right!
Second Uncle and Ye Zheng reacted at the same time.
They both looked at Ye Ming curiously, hoping he could provide a reasonable explanation.
"Three Uncles."
Ye Ming's gaze was firm, and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing,
"I can tell you clearly, the so-called slaughter backlash is completely useless to me!"
"This proof requires a long process, and I hope you can trust me."
This...
The three elders fell silent for a moment.
"Good!"
This time, it was Third Uncle who stood up first.
He nodded at Ye Ming, his eyes filled with approval,
"Brat, just based on the strength you showed earlier, your Third Uncle believes you!"
"Also, Third Uncle's tone was a bit harsh just now. For that,Uncle apologizes to you."
Ye Ming smiled bitterly in his heart.
His Third Uncle...
Sometimes he was very annoying.
But sometimes, his 180-degree change in attitude made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
Even the most difficult Third Uncle was taken care of.
Second Uncle Ye Jun and Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng naturally had nothing more to say.
"According to your Third Uncle's previous bet."
"From now on, we three old guys will no longer interfere in your affairs."
"However, if you encounter any danger outside, or need anything, you can always ask us. We, as your uncles, will definitely stand firmly behind you!"
Second Uncle patted his chest, his words resounding powerfully.
Ye Zheng nodded silently.
Although he didn't speak, Ye Ming knew that from now on, he also had a Fifth-Tier Contract Master covering him!
After everything concluded,
Ye Ming quickly moved his parents' spirit tablets back to the ancestral hall.
During this time, he received a message from his homeroom teacher, Teacher.
"[Teacher]: Ye Ming, your teacher already knows about your Contracted Demoness. But your teacher knows you are a child with your own opinions, so no matter what path you choose, your teacher will absolutely support you."
"Teacher Yang is a good person."
In Ye Ming's memory,
the original owner was weak and timid, often bullied and mocked by classmates, but she would patiently guide the original owner.
Then, Ye Ming continued to check his messages.
"[Teacher]: Oh, by the way, the school will hold the Primary Test tomorrow. This is a very important test, and the location is at the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall. Remember to attend."
"Primary Test..."
Ye Ming looked at the message on his phone, his face darkening.
Before officially participating in the Martial Arts Grand Examination a month later, the school would organize three effective tests.
(Martial Arts Grand Examination: A crucial examination for advancement, determining a Contractor's fate)
Primary Test, Intermediate Test, and Mock Exam.
The Primary Test primarily assessed students' strength, speed, and combat abilities.
The Intermediate Test evaluated whether students possessed the combat readiness and courage to face real Vicious Beasts.
The Mock Exam was designed to familiarize students with the Martial Arts Grand Examination process in advance and to predict potential issues.
If Ye Ming remembered correctly,
Liu Yuxuan had confidently declared today that she would crush him in the Primary Test and make him apologize to her.
"What a pipe dream."
"However, I could go to the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall early to test my strength."
The Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, built by the government, is an institution open to all Contractors.
At the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, one can undergo professional training and test their strength by battling simulated Vicious Beasts.
It holds high professional authority in Cangnan City.
"Third Uncle."
"Didn't you just say that you would agree to all my requests?"
Ye Ming looked at his Third Uncle, who was helping him move the spirit tablets.
Third Uncle frowned. This kid already had plans so quickly?
"Speak, what do you want?"
"Help me get access to the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall."
"Martial Arts Hall? Alright! I'll take care of it for you tomorrow."
"No, I want it now."
"This..."
Third Uncle Third Uncle was stunned for a moment. Getting it now meant an expedited pass, which would cost an extra ten thousand yuan.
"Third Uncle!" Ye Ming urged.
"Alright, alright, I'll do it now! I'll do it now!"
"You brat, why are you so interested in fighting and killing now?"
"According to the usual practice of Cangnan No. 1 High School,"
"in the Primary Test, students will be arranged to fight First-Tier Vicious Beasts."
"Killing one is considered passing, killing two is good, killing five is excellent, and killing ten is full marks."
"Whether killed individually or simultaneously, it counts."
Led by his Older Sister Ye Xinxin,
Ye Ming arrived at the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall.
The martial arts hall was hemispherical in shape, covering a vast area, equivalent to twenty football fields.
It had three floors, each with thirty small rooms specifically for testing and training.
Ye Ming and Ye Xinxin arrived at the main hall on the first floor.
As far as the eye could see, there was a large screen hanging from the ceiling.
"[Cangnan City Record Board!!]"
"[First-Tier Contractor: Lin Feng Kill Record: 60 First-Tier Vicious Beasts]"
"[Second-Tier Contractor: Mu Chengyi Kill Record: 50 Second-Tier Vicious Beasts]"
"[Third-Tier Contractor: Shangguan Mingyue Kill Record: 40 Third-Tier Fierce Beasts]"
"[...]"
"If you're interested, you can also try to challenge it."
"There are prizes for breaking records!"
Ye Xinxin raised an eyebrow at Ye Ming, encouraging him.
Ye Ming's face was expressionless, but his heart was eager to try.
Vicious Beasts and Contractors share the same Realm divisions.
First-Tier, Second-Tier, Third-Tier... but because low-tier Vicious Beasts are very stupid,
Most Vicious Beasts are easier to deal with than Contractors.
Ye Ming could now easily kill even Second-Tier Contract Masters in seconds.
Dealing with a few First-Tier Vicious Beasts was a piece of cake; he wasn't afraid at all!
Furthermore,
"The record for a First-Tier Contractor is only sixty First-Tier Vicious Beasts."
"This seems a bit too simple!"
"If I challenge it, I should be able to..."
Ye Ming looked down at his fist, then finally extended one finger.
"A hundred?" Ye Xinxin interjected.
"No!"
Ye Ming smiled calmly, "It's to keep killing."
