"Hmm."
Director Li had already achieved his goal.
He then took two exquisitely crafted small wooden boxes out of his drawer.
Upon opening them, each contained a strangely shaped fruit lying inside.
One was entirely scarlet, with strange runes carved onto its surface.
The other was entirely ice-blue, as if piled together from ice crystals, palm-sized, with wisps of frost lingering around it.
"Blood Soul Fruit, contains violent energy; absorbing it can significantly increase attack power."
"Ice Crystal Fruit, the energy is mild; absorbing it can effectively increase Physical Body strength."
"Choose one."
"Consider it a reward for breaking the record."
Li Sufeng pushed the two wooden boxes toward Ye Ming.
Both fruits were of high value and could sell for a high price of 200,000 dragon country currency on the market.
Logically speaking, one wouldn't get a reward like the Blood Soul Fruit for breaking a record.
It was entirely because Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, cherished talent and paid out of his own pocket to gift it.
"Ye Ming, choose the red one!"
"That one will have a better effect on you."
Ying Youyou's voice, clear as a bell, echoed in Ye Ming's sea of consciousness.
Oh?
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow; since the noble Godfall Dark Night Demon Emperess had spoken, he would choose the Blood Soul Fruit.
"I want this one."
"Hmm, not bad. This fruit is indeed very suitable for a Contracted Demoness."
After a brief conversation with Ye Ming, Li Sufeng escorted him to the door and reached out to shake his hand.
"Ye Ming, I hope that you and your Contracted Demoness can shatter worldly perceptions."
What are worldly perceptions?
It means that being a Contracted Demoness has no future!
"Of course, she and I will work hard."
Watching Ye Ming's gradually disappearing back, Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
"If I remember correctly, that guy Sun Houyuan seems to be in Cangnan City recently."
"If there is a chance, I'll let him meet Ye Ming and see if I can recommend him directly to the Teacher."
If anyone with a little bit of insight heard these words, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
The reason was simple.
The Sun Houyuan mentioned by Li Sufeng was an admissions officer for Star Demon University.
And the Teacher he mentioned was the Vice Principal of Star Demon University!
On the way back.
Ye Ming sat in the passenger seat of the sports car.
Holding the Blood Soul Fruit in his hand, he was observing it from every angle.
"Blood Soul Fruit?"
"Good stuff!"
"This Director Li is quite generous to you."
"I must warn you, this kind of fruit can only be used to absorb energy; absolutely do not ingest it orally, otherwise your body will have adverse reactions."
"In serious cases, you might get poisoned, and fainting on the spot or even death is possible!"
Ye Xinxin glanced at it and quickly warned him.
But as soon as she finished speaking.
Ying Youyou's soft muttering sound arose.
"Actually, you can eat it directly; it has a better effect that way."
"As for the toxins, I can absorb them all."
Hmm?
It can be done that way?
Ye Ming smiled and put the Blood Soul Fruit away.
He did not intend to swallow it in front of Ye Xinxin.
She was driving now; if his actions scared her and caused a traffic accident, that wouldn't be good.
"What are your plans for the next step?"
"Your strength is now far beyond your peers, but you must have a clear plan; don't waste time," Ye Xinxin asked.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, thinking of the conclusion he had reached earlier at the martial arts hall, and then said:
"I want to go to the Secret Realm to take a look tomorrow."
"Secret Realm?"
Ye Xinxin's brows furrowed slightly, "Don't you have an Elementary test tomorrow?"
"I won't go. I've already tested. I'll send the data to the Teacher later. With my results, I presume she can understand." Ye Ming didn't want to waste time.
"That's true."
Ye Xinxin nodded, and after pondering for a while, she suggested:
"If you want to go to a Secret Realm, you can choose the Entry-Level Secret Realm; Blood Demon Tower."
"The Vicious Beasts are concentrated here, and there are many of them; it is most suitable for a novice like you... well, although you are not a novice."
Vicious Beasts are concentrated.
Many in number.
Seems not bad.
"Hmm, decided. I'll go to the Blood Demon Tower!" Ye Ming made up his mind.
Meanwhile.
In a mid-range residential area.
Liu Yuxuan was lying on the bed after sending the last message to Ye Ming.
Slap!
She threw her phone onto the floor and said angrily:
"Damn Ye Ming, why won't he reply to my messages?"
"Does he like playing the cool, aloof guy that much? Does he think that by increasing the distance between us, I will fawn over him?"
"Why? Just because he contracted an SSS-rank Witch with no future?"
Ever since Ye Ming rejected her today, Liu Yuxuan had been holding back anger in her heart.
She had wanted to come back and lecture Ye Ming properly on her phone.
But as a result.
Ye Ming didn't reply to a single message.
The little princess's emotions were not satisfied, which caused Liu Yuxuan to lose her composure completely.
She looked at the phone on the floor, clenched her fists, and snorted angrily:
"Ye Ming, you just wait."
"In tomorrow's Elementary test, I will kill fifty Vicious Beasts and trample you under my feet!"
"I will let you know how foolish your current indifference toward me is!"
The next day.
Cangnan Martial Arts Hall.
The students of this year's Cangnan No. 1 High School were all gathered at the entrance of the martial arts hall, including Ye Ming's class.
Inside the class, most of the students had arrived, but Ye Ming's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, why isn't Ye Ming here yet? It's already 8:29, and in one more minute, it's time for the test."
"I don't know. Did he oversleep?"
"Doesn't he have a dedicated car for pick-up and drop-off?"
Some students looked around, feeling puzzled.
Wang Haoyang, whose injuries had healed, snorted coldly and mocked:
"He awakened max-level spirituality and contracted an SSS-rank Witch, so he's very arrogant!"
"Of course we have to wait for him; he's a young master, after all."
"By the way, Yuxuan, are you confident in yourself? I heard that contracting an SS-rank Saintess allows one to kill at least thirty Vicious Beasts!"
"Hmm, I plan to kill fifty!"
Liu Yuxuan replied with a cold expression, her eyes constantly scanning the crowd.
Until the time reached 8:30, Ye Ming still hadn't arrived.
She snorted coldly in her heart.
Hmph!
This Ye Ming.
He must be afraid that I will surpass him, so he didn't dare to come!
The corners of Liu Yuxuan's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Just then, the Teacher walked over.
"Let's go, students. We are going to conduct the Elementary test."
"Huh? But Ye Ming hasn't arrived yet!" Wang Haoyang asked hypocritically.
"Oh, Ye Ming. No need to wait for him. He sent me a message yesterday; he has already tested."
"Hmm... Full marks, killed five hundred Vicious Beasts, breaking the First-Tier Contractor record of the martial arts hall."
"You all should learn from him."
What!!!!
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the students present were like ignited gunpowder, completely exploding.
Five hundred Vicious Beasts, breaking the record!
This data made them feel unbelievable.
Wang Haoyang's pupils contracted suddenly, and he loudly questioned:
"Impossible!"
"Five hundred Vicious Beasts, even if one contracted an SSS-Rank Saintess, it's impossible to have this score!"
"Teacher, were you deceived by Ye Ming?"
The Teacher frowned, "Don't believe it? Go see for yourself in the martial arts hall."
All the students rushed into the martial arts hall lobby like a swarm. When they saw the big screen hanging in the lobby.
Their heads felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, and their brains were buzzing.
[Record Board.]
[First-Tier Contractor: Ye Ming Kill Record: 500 First-Tier Vicious Beasts!]
"How is this possible..."
When seeing this data, Wang Haoyang's legs instantly went weak, and he sat down on the floor with a thud.
His pupils began to tremble wildly because of fear.
The person with the most complex expression was Liu Yuxuan.
Her eyes were wide open like two brass bells, her mouth slightly agape, and she stood frozen on the spot as if under a paralysis spell.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, her breathing became rapid and chaotic, her mind was blank, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, muttering to herself:
"Five hundred... Five hundred..."
"How is this possible?!"
She felt at this moment.
That she, who had previously resolved to kill fifty Vicious Beasts, was simply a clown.
