n“Nice one!”

nSeeing Lil Wan’s clean attack, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but give her a big thumbs up.

n

n

n“I was aiming for its eyes…” Lil Wan’s face was a little rosy.

nYou were aiming for its eyes?

nYe Xuan was startled.

nBut didn’t dare to laugh.

n

n

nAt that moment, a series of crisp sounds came from the Amber Golden Toad beast, which had been hit by Lil Wan’s Ironwood Thorn spear. It seemed as if it was about to crumble.

n“Is that…?” Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly unleashed his Mind Energy to shroud the corpse.

nAccording to Nong Jiale, after a beast in the Amber Secret Realm died, its body would crumble into Amber Aura.

nHe wanted to see what this looked like.

n

n

n“Huh?”

nIt was just that, when he enveloped the Amber Golden Toad with his Mind Energy, a piece of new information suddenly appeared on the attribute panel in his mind.

nMonster: Amber Golden Toad

nMonster Level: Intermediate-Level Apprentice

nMonster Grade: ☆

nMonster Ability (1): Amber Aspect (☆). Mastery over Amber Aspect (Preliminary-Grade). Improves strength, defense, and regeneration.

n

n

nMonster Ability 2: Tongue Attack (☆)

nMonster Ability 3: Toad Leap (☆)

nEvolution Path (1): Two-colored Female Amber Toad. Required evolution materials: Amber Heart (Intermediate-Level Apprentice), Amber Spirit Water (Intermediate-Level Apprentice)

nEvolution Path (2): Two-colored Amber Toad King

nEvolution Path (3): …

n…

n“…the Beast Editor even works like this?”

nYe Xuan’s mouth dropped open wide.

n

n

nOnly just now did he learn that when his Mind Energy shrouded other monsters, the Beast Editor could even display their attributes.

nPreviously, he’d thought that he could only see the attributes of his own beasts.

n“However, I didn’t expect this Amber Golden Toad to have so little potential for growth.”

nYe Xuan shook his head.

nThen, he looked at this Amber Golden Toad’s future evolution paths.

nHe discovered that if he chose this guy as his beast, he could still edit it once it advanced to the Dark Iron Level.

nBut when editing it a second time, at most, he could turn it into a Dark Iron Level two-star beast, which absolutely couldn’t compare to Lil Wan.

n“Ka-chk!”

nAt this time, the Amber Golden Toad, which Lil Wan had pierced with her Ironwood Thorn spear, suddenly crumbled after one last explosion sounded from within its body.

nIt turned into a golden aura, dispersing in all directions.

nLeaving only a walnut-sized gold, translucent bead on the ground.

nOne could vaguely see the image of a golden toad inside the bead.

nIn fact, this thing was also called a Monster Bead.

n

n

nIt was something you could obtain from a monster after killing it.

nHowever, because it came from the Amber Secret Realm, it was called the Amber Heart.

nYe Xuan picked up the bead and played with it for a moment before putting it into his Beast Ring.

nAfter completing this series of actions, Ye Xuan asked Lil Wan, “How was it, Lil Wan? How do you feel after this battle?”

n“I’m still way behind compared to the Ancient Wood Elves we saw in the videos yesterday,” Lil Wan said somewhat dejectedly. “I only had an easy time today because this Amber Golden Toad isn’t very strong. If it had been a little more powerful, even at the same level as me, I don’t think I would’ve been able to take it on that easily.”

nThe videos she and Ye Xuan had watched yesterday, especially the performance of Yu Lingjing’s Ancient Wood Elf, had left a really deep impression on her heart.

nIn the video, the Ancient Wood Elf had been faced with five Tempest Wolves.

nThey weren’t some low-level monsters, but monsters at the Top-Level Apprentice Level, just like the elf.

nHowever, the elf had brought all five monsters down in just a matter of seconds.

nCompared with that, she really felt that she was still very far behind.

n“If there’s a gap, close it by working hard.” Ye Xuan smiled. “In the next few days, let’s just stay around this area and try our best to find monsters to practice combat against. We don’t have to hurry ourselves to go deeper.”

n“Okay.”

n…

n“Lil Wan, stop that thing!”

nIn the Amber Forest, Ye Xuan ran with a sword in his hand.

nBehind him was a two-headed Amber Wolf.

nThis two-headed Amber Wolf was a two-star grade, Top-Level Apprentice monster.

nYe Xuan had attempted to battle against it head-to-head in the past, but he’d been no match for it.

nThis monster had a two-star grade Amber Aspect. When Ye Xuan’s Black Iron Sword landed on it, it inflicted very little damage.

nMoreover, this wolf was immensely powerful. In just a few attacks, Ye Xuan had no choice but to retreat.

nIf Lil Wan hadn’t been there to assist him, he probably would have had to activate his Protection Amulet and leave the secret realm.

nFortunately, most of the monsters in the Amber Secret Realm were melee monsters who didn’t have long-range attack-type abilities.

nWorking together, though a little messy, he and Lil Wan still had a chance to win.

nSwoosh!

nThe Ironwood Thorns broke through the air, creating the sound of a howling wind. Like a chain, the vine tightly looped around a big tree, forming a roadblock.

nThe setup of this path blocker was extremely clever.

nThe two-headed Amber Wolf, which was catching up to them, leaped into the air at immense speeds towards Ye Xuan. It moved by throwing the upper half of its body forward, its lower half not yet leaving the ground.

nThis very roadblock was set up to where the wolf’s lower body would collide with it.

n“Rawr!”

nRunning at such a fast speed, the two-headed Amber Wolf scraped its abdomen on the Ironwood Thorns.

nThis time, Xiao Wan didn’t let the barbs of the Ironwood Thorn lie on the vine. Instead, she had all of the barbs spread outwards.

nHowever, the two-headed Amber Wolf wasn’t made of blood and flesh. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to bear such intense pain.

nBut even so, the back half of its body didn’t break through the thorny cord, causing the upper half of its body, which it had thrown forward, to be tugged backward.

n“Die!”

nWhen the two-headed Amber wolf staggered to the ground, Ye Xuan suddenly turned around and slashed downward with his sword.

nClang!

nAmid the splattering of sparks, the two-headed Amber Wolf shook its head. For all that, only a few amber particles fell from its head.

n“Darn it!”

nYe Xuan felt helpless.

nHe’d finally uncovered the fact that despite being a Top-Level Warrior Apprentice, in terms of strength, he could probably only fight Top-Level Apprentice monsters of a one-star grade.

nAs long as a monster’s grade was higher than his, he would have no way of defeating them.

nBut fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone.

nAs the two-headed Amber Wolf lay on the ground, temporarily stunned by Ye Xuan’s attack, Lil Wan waved her hands in the air and hurled out a thorny spear.

nWith a spllurgh, it accurately penetrated the eye of the two-headed Amber Wolf.

nAlthough this thing had two heads, it had only one eye on its chest.

nEven though its eyes were, likewise, amber-colored, they were still one of its weaknesses.

nAfter receiving this blow, it staggered a few times before finally falling down, both its heads hitting the ground.

nPhew!

nYe Xuan let out a long breath.

nAt present, it was the third day since he’d entered the Amber Secret Realm.

nIn those three days, he’d experienced dozens of battles.

nBut this battle had been the most difficult battle to date.

nBefore entering the secret realm, he’d still been wondering if he would have the opportunity to form a contract with that four-star Amber Dragon.

nBut now, this idea was already completely out of his head.

nAs he was now, even with Lil Wan working together with him, killing a two-star Top-Level Apprentice two-headed wolf was already so difficult. If he were to bump into an Amber Dragon, he would probably have to leave the secret realm in embarrassment.
