The situation instantly developed to a point where life and death were at stake.

  The two familiars launched a surprise attack together. If it were an ordinary apostle, he would probably have been killed on the spot without any preparation and wouldn't even have had the chance to summon his familiar.

  The freezing breath of the Frozen Rabbit was one thing, but at this time, the Blade Beast had even been able to kill the Diamond Skull in an instant.

  However, this extremely beautiful woman who had completed the disciple trial within ten days was clearly not an ordinary apostle.

  A pale blue light curtain appeared in front of the woman, blocking the freezing breath of the Frozen Rabbit and the Blade Beast.

  However, the cold smile that had just bloomed on her face suddenly froze.

  After just a slight pause, as if piercing through a piece of thin paper, the Blade Beast directly pierced through the light shield and continued to move forward without losing any speed.

  The cold murderous aura had already rushed to her beautiful face.

  In her cold eyes, a look of surprise flashed by. The fingers of the extremely beautiful woman had already touched the subspace and could summon her own familiar at any time.

  Although it didn't work, the light shield had bought her precious time.

  If she had really summoned her familiar and the matter couldn't be ended immediately, then it would have been out of control.

  At this critical moment, Chen Yue suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly:

  "Come back!"

  Miraculously, the huge momentum of the Blade Beast suddenly disappeared. It stopped one finger's width in front of the extremely beautiful woman and then flew back, obediently hovering in front of Chen Yue.

  The extremely beautiful woman moved her slender fingers away and calmly fixed her gaze on Chen Yue and the Blade Beast.

  At this time, Chen Yue's appearance was truly miserable. The previous torrent had washed away most of his bones and flesh. Although his body's recovery ability was extremely strong, it was easier to damage than to repair. Although there was no major problem inside his body, it would still take some time to fully recover.

  However, this was just a minor detail. At the last moment, stopping the Blade Beast made Chen Yue feel extremely lucky.

  At the moment when the Blade Beast's connection was cut off, the torrent in his body also rushed into the Source of Life at the same time. Under the impact of this huge force, the bottleneck of the second level was broken open smoothly. Not only that, the previous accumulation also burst out, making the strength of the Source of Life no less than that of an ordinary third-level apostle who had advanced for hundreds of years. The distance from the third level to the fourth level was reduced by one-fifth in one go, which showed the power of this mass of Prime Liquid.

  At this moment, Chen Yue was already at the third level.

  This breakthrough of the bottleneck was different from the last time, so there was no situation where the foundation of the Source of Life became thinner.

  After successfully advancing to a higher level, Chen Yue already had the strength to suppress the three-star Blade Beast. The spiritual connection was also re-established at the moment of the breakthrough. The break and the reconnection took less than three seconds.

  After experiencing the process of losing and regaining again, Chen Yue could feel that the compatibility with the Blade Beast had taken another step forward, almost reaching or approaching the "familiarity" level. Otherwise, he might not have been able to stop it.

  Slowly exhaling a breath, Chen Yue's heart was filled with excitement for a while.

  However, this emotion didn't last long.

  A series of changes happened in the blink of an eye. The extremely beautiful woman stood there coldly, neither going out nor coming in. There was no trace of anger in her eyes, as if the attack just now had never happened. She just slowly shifted her gaze from Chen Yue to the Blade Beast.

  The hotel owner was just an ordinary person. The sudden attacks of the two familiars almost scared him silly. At this moment, after hearing Chen Yue's loud shout, he suddenly woke up.

  "You, why are you here?" The hotel owner said in surprise.

  "Right, I remember now. Your name is Chen Yue."

  Although Chen Yue's appearance was a bit miserable, he was still recognized by the hotel owner. Stepping forward, the hotel owner pointed at Chen Yue, and his tone changed from the original confusion to harshness:

  "Only disciple lords can stay on the fiftieth floor. Why are you here? And what was going on just now?"

  Remembering the thrilling moment just now, the hotel owner was still a bit scared and his attitude became bad. He relied on the fact that the city lord was behind him and that Chen Yue was just an ordinary apostle, so he became confident.

  "You've broken the rules set by the city lord," The hotel owner stared at Chen Yue coldly and said sinisterly.

  Chen Yue's brows furrowed slightly. The thing he least wanted to happen had occurred. He didn't expect that someone would pass the disciple trial and obtain the qualification to stay on the fiftieth floor in such a short time, catching him breaking the rules red-handed. What's more, the Blade Beast had almost hurt the other party.

  If it was investigated, he might be driven out of the Trial City.

  The hotel owner's attitude became more and more arrogant. Seeing that the extremely beautiful woman didn't speak, he thought that she also supported him, so he became reckless when speaking. After all, it was quite a face-saving thing to be able to reprimand an apostle face to face.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  "Enough," Just when the hotel owner's words were becoming more and more impolite, the extremely beautiful woman interrupted him and said casually, "I know why he's here. Let this matter go."

  The hotel owner was stunned at once. Looking at his appearance, it was rather funny. He thought he had guessed the extremely beautiful woman's intention correctly, but he didn't know that he was completely wrong...

  Unlike Chen Yue, the extremely beautiful woman was already a disciple, and her status was only below that of the city lord. The rules that Chen Yue had broken wouldn't reach the city lord, so what she said was an order.

  Gazing deeply at the Blade Beast for a while, a faint gleam flashed in the extremely beautiful woman's cold eyes.

  "Blade Beast? Very good, very good."

  After saying these six words, she turned around and left. After a while, a soft sound of the door closing was heard. Obviously, she had already chosen her own room.

  After waiting for a while, there was no sign that the extremely beautiful woman would come out again.

  The hotel owner smiled sheepishly. His gaze fixed on Chen Yue was a bit strange, with a faint sense of fear and regret.

  Obviously, this Chen Yue was not simple. Otherwise, the extremely beautiful woman's behavior wouldn't have been so strange, and she wouldn't have taken the initiative to excuse him.

  The shrewd hotel owner could naturally see this.

  It was precisely because of this that he regretted his previous rudeness...

  "Chen Yue, uh, lord, I offended you just now..." Beads of sweat appeared on his chubby face, and the hotel owner put on an expression of extreme regret, almost on the verge of crying bitterly.

  Chen Yue ignored him.

  After the extremely beautiful woman left, as soon as the tense string loosened, Chen Yue felt extremely tired and the pain in his body. Even with his willpower, he faintly felt that it was unbearable. Naturally, he didn't have the patience to listen to the hotel owner's confession.

  "Does she also know the Blade Beast?"

  A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Chen Yue understood that although the Blade Beast was quite famous, low-level apostles might not necessarily know it. Since this woman knew it, her origin must be unusual.

  Shaking his head, Chen Yue put aside the unnecessary speculation. He put away the Blade Beast and the Frozen Rabbit. As for Meteorite Crystal, she had already slipped back into the subspace without being noticed.

  Then, pushing aside the hotel owner, Chen Yue returned to his room wearily, fell headlong onto the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

  Even in his deep sleep, his body's recovery ability was still working quickly, repairing the damaged parts.

  ...

  One week later, Red Stone Plain.

  After leaving the Trial City, Chen Yue walked for half a day before arriving at this plain with red soil everywhere.

  This place was already a dangerous area, more than fifty miles away from the Trial City. There were mainly second-grade Prime Beasts here, and occasionally a very small number of third-grade Prime Beasts would appear. Therefore, there weren't many apostles here.

  After all, for most people, third-grade Prime Beasts were extremely terrifying existences.

  However, Chen Yue still chose this place. In seven days, he had completely transformed the huge life force contained in the Prime Liquid, and his body had already recovered to its best state.

  At this moment, what he was most eager to do was to test the strength of the Blade Beast after it was unsealed.

  His target was the second-grade Prime Beasts.

  The grade of first-grade Prime Beasts was too low. To gather enough fourth-grade Life Essence by hunting them would require too many to be hunted. If the Blade Beast could kill second-grade Prime Beasts in an instant, then it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the difficulty.

  After all, it was rare to enter the Trial Ground once, and the Life Essence was so important for the advancement of familiars. Being able to obtain more of it was not only beneficial for familiars but also for the bet. Chen Yue couldn't ask for more.

  ...

  On the vast plain, quite a number of groups of Prime Beasts were wandering around.

  The Stone Spirit Beast was one of the weaker second-grade Prime Beasts and also the most numerous Prime Beast on the Red Stone Plain.

  At this moment, a group of Stone Spirit Beasts was wandering past the edge of the plain.

  This kind of Prime Beast that looked like a stone man on the outside could condense huge stones and throw them remotely. Its body was much stronger than that of ordinary Prime Beasts, and coupled with its terrifying recovery ability, it was simply an indestructible cockroach, which gave the trial participants on the Red Stone Plain a headache. However, its movements were rather slow.

  Chen Yue didn't rush forward rashly. Instead, he hid and waited for this group of Stone Spirit Beasts to pass by. Then, the Frozen Rabbit hopped out from its hiding place, ran towards the last Stone Spirit Beast in the group, and sprayed a freezing breath at it.

  Then, it ran away as fast as its legs could carry it.

  How terrifying was the freezing breath of the Frozen Rabbit? That Stone Spirit Beast couldn't dodge in time and was instantly frozen into ice. By the time it recovered to its original state, it had already been left far behind by the main group.

  Being attacked inexplicable ly, the Stone Spirit Beast immediately became angry. It inserted its two arms into the soil, and when it pulled them out again, there was a stone the size of a human head in its hands.

  After aiming at the direction of the Frozen Rabbit, it threw the stone violently. Unfortunately, the flexibility of the Frozen Rabbit exceeded its imagination, and it easily dodged. By the time it angrily wanted to throw a second stone, the Frozen Rabbit had already run out of its attack range.

  It didn't think much and just staggered after it. The Frozen Rabbit didn't run too fast, just staying within its sight. During the chase between the two, they soon left the Red Stone Plain.

  "This big guy is so stupid," Meteorite Crystal laughed when she saw this scene.

  Chen Yue smiled faintly. Seeing that no other Prime Beasts were paying attention to this side, he leaped out from his hiding place like lightning. That Stone Spirit Beast just felt something unusual when it felt a pain in its waist. A glamorous red light shone through its body, and then, with a gentle slash, its whole body was instantly cut into two halves.

  "How could this be..." Before dying, the Stone Spirit Beast thought like this.

  "Sure enough, it can be killed in an instant."

  A look of excitement flashed in Chen Yue's eyes. The recovery ability of Prime Beasts was too terrifying. In the past, even serious injuries like being cut in half could keep them alive for a short time. But this time, it died immediately.

  "Since it's effective, we can start massive hunting."

  Thinking like this, Chen Yue looked at the Red Stone Plain. There, countless Prime Beasts seemed to have turned into Life Essence that could run and move.
