59: The terror of the little crow (title only modified)

Just contracted an SSS-Rank pet, and it was gone in an instant.

How did that feel?

Xu Le felt terrible.

Although he didn't lack SSS-Rank contracted beasts, he lacked contract slots.

Once a contract was signed, the contract slot disappeared.

Even if the contracted beast died, the slot would not reappear.

“Eh? Why are the attribute bonuses from The Gift talent still there?”

Xu Le looked closely and realized that Little Black Crow hadn't completely died.

In his Sea of Consciousness, there was still a super mini-version of Little Black Crow's true spirit.

Currently, it would take ten thousand experience points to resurrect it.

Xu Le: “...”

Resurrect, my divine envoy!

With a wave of his hand, ten thousand of his experience points were deducted.

Little Black Crow appeared out of thin air.

It saw Xu Le.

It obediently flew to Xu Le's feet, prostrating itself on the ground to give thanks for the deity's blessing.

Xu Le gave some instructions in the Contract Space, telling the four little ones to take good care of Little Black Crow, before hurrying on his way.

Just three steps later, Little Black Crow died again.

Xu Le was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Little Yellow Chicken was even more dumbfounded.

After Little Black Crow returned to the Contract Space, it flew straight to it and used the “Light of Punishment” Skill, then followed the light wave to launch a sneak attack.

Then it was burned to death again.

After Xu Le understood the situation, he was speechless.

Forget it, if it's dead, it's dead. It can be resurrected anyway.

He wouldn't call it Little Black Crow anymore; he might as well just call it Little Silly Crow.

...

The Principal's Office.

Besides Principal Liu Rufeng and the five people who had been kicked in the butt earlier, there was also a glowing Hong Yuantai.

Seeing Xu Le again, Liu Rufeng felt a faint sense of embarrassment.

However, he was quickly stunned.

“You kid, you've gotten stronger again?”

“A lucky Breakthrough.” Xu Le smiled, most of the frustration from Little Silly Crow dying again dissipating.

Everyone was stunned.

How could a Professional have a 'lucky Breakthrough'?

Don't they all level up by killing monsters?

Even if there was a Breakthrough in Ancient Martial Arts, it shouldn't be visible to the naked eye.

“Let's spar!”

Liu Rufeng approached and suddenly launched a sneak attack, throwing a punch toward Xu Le's head.

Before Xu Le could even react, his body had already dodged in advance.

This was the instinct developed from practicing Ancient Martial Arts.

The two exchanged blows quickly.

At first, everyone could see clearly, but later they could only see afterimages.

Even so, their eyes were wide, thinking that if they could learn even half a move, it would be of infinite use later.

Liu Rufeng grew more alarmed the more they fought.

At first, he was just giving pointers casually, but he didn't expect Xu Le's attainment to be so high.

As he used more and more of his strength, he realized the boy wasn't just a freshman; he was clearly a bottomless pit.

Even though he had now erupted with full power, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

No, the other's strength was still increasing. If this continued, he would surely make a fool of himself.

He faintly activated a sliver of his “Sword Heart Clarity” talent. Seeing a flaw in Xu Le's defense, he threw a punch, then his whole body rapidly retreated, disengaging from the fight.

“Good, I am very satisfied with your strength!”

Liu Rufeng didn't ask why Xu Le's body was so powerful; instead, he was not stingy with his praise.

“What Rank are you now?”

“Just a bit short of Rank 50.”

Gu Shaoqiang and Hong Yuantai were both shocked. When they last parted, he was clearly only Rank 42. In just a few days, he had risen by more than 7 Ranks. They both knew how difficult that was.

“What stage are you at for entering the Xiaoyao Realm?”

Xu Le clicked on the notification on his ring.

【Detection complete. Construct virtual body and enter the Xiaoyao Realm?】

“Yes!”

【Constructing... Current progress: 0.01%, 0.02%... 1%】

The progress came to a screeching halt.

A new string of prompts popped up.

【Insufficient Materials, please replenish.】

This...

He shook the ring, suspecting this thing was closely related to Pony Ma.

Liu Rufeng, however, looked like he had expected this.

He took out a toothpick-sized small sword and placed it before Xu Le: “A gift for you!”

???

A souvenir?

“Divine Eye” activated.

【Item】 Nameless Small Sword

【Grade】 Epic

【Item Details】 A specially crafted metal small sword, sealing the full-power strike of a Peak master of the human realm.

Xu Le thought of that casual sword strike at the school gate, and his hand couldn't help but tremble.

This was a full-power strike!

He looked at Liu Rufeng: “Are there any conditions?”

Liu Rufeng waved his hand: “None. If you have the heart in the future, just kill a few more demons.”

Xu Le took the small sword and realized the toothpick was much heavier than expected, weighing at least half a kilogram. No wonder this secret metal could withstand Liu Rufeng's full-power strike.

...

Outside the Dinosaur dungeon.

Xu Le spent another ten thousand experience points to resurrect Little Silly Crow.

Then he summoned the four little ones.

Seeing Little Yellow Chicken, Little Silly Crow's eyes turned red, and it was about to attack.

“Stop! You are all my contracted beasts, no fighting!”

Little Silly Crow gave Little Yellow Chicken a cold look, then flew straight to Xu Le's feet, obediently leaning against his leg.

It was a believer of the god. Even if it felt unwilling, it would not disobey the divine decree.

Looking at the 'Number Five' who could be burned to death by an ordinary fireball, a faint sense of fear rose in Little Yellow Chicken's heart.

It had nothing to do with strength; that suicidal madness was too terrifying.

It thought to itself, why call it Little Silly Crow? It should be called Little Crazy Crow. No, Ultimate Crazy Crow!

Not just Little Yellow Chicken, but Little Black Snake, Little Dog, and Little Peach Tree all instinctively distanced themselves from Little Silly Crow.

Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief.

He chose the abyss difficulty.

This time.

All his attributes increased by another thousand points.

Little Dog was enhanced once more.

With the experience from last time, grinding dinosaurs was even more effortless.

【Experience +98,000】

【Experience +98,000】

...

Bird-dinosaurs fell one by one at his feet, followed by even more powerful dinosaurs.

With the blessing of “Heart of Competition,” the experience points Little Silly Crow gained had a hundredfold bonus, and its Rank skyrocketed.

Flash!

A white light flashed.

Xu Le and the five little ones reached Rank 53 simultaneously.

“Quack quack quack...”

Little Silly Crow let out an excited, harsh cry.

It launched a charge toward the final Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord.

Light of Punishment!

Six black shockwaves fanned out, slamming into the massive Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Even with its terrifying damage reduction, a red number of 7,632 floated above its head.

Little Yellow Chicken narrowed its eyes, knowing that the little fellow in front of it was no longer the one that would be burned to death just by getting close.

It wanted to show the other its majesty as the boss.

Guarding the home for the master.

With a shake of its body, nine Clones appeared, and ten fireballs slammed into the Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord at the same time.

-8,652.

-1,898. ×9

Ten bright red numbers floated up.

Little Yellow Chicken glanced triumphantly at Little Silly Crow, then cast “Meteor Fire Rain” before spitting out ordinary fireballs to attack.

The fires of battle burned in Little Silly Crow's eyes as it spat out black light waves to blast the dinosaur lord.

It frequently blended into the blackness, striking a claw hard against the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eye.

“Roar!”

The Tyrannosaurus Rex angrily swung its tail, lunged, and bit, but it was useless. Little Silly Crow's flying Skills were superb, always narrowly dodging the attacks, making the beast even more furious.

With Little Silly Crow drawing the aggro, the pressure on Little Dog's Clones to attack was greatly reduced, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord's health dropped rapidly.

400,000.

200,000.

100,000.

...

10,000.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord let out a roar, its Blood Valor Skill activating, making its attributes and damage reduction frighteningly high.

Xu Le took out his nearly broken demon slaying blade and threw a “Mental Shock.” Just as he was about to step forward to fight, he heard a high-pitched cry from Little Silly Crow.

“Caw!”

After the crow's cry, it was as if a world switch had been flipped. The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the world instantly turned dark.

A primitive, blood-colored altar emerged.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord, standing in the center of the altar, seemed to see something terrifying. Its pupils dilated, its face filled with horror, and it turned to flee.

But its four legs were as if rooted to the spot.

Bang!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord collapsed to the ground.
