A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 8: A Student with S-Rank Potential!

The crimson holy flames suddenly erupted, evaporating all the gray mist within a radius of a hundred meters, and even scorching and distorting the air.

Before Gu Xing's shocked gaze, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly rose from the flames.

The four wings, burning with holy flames, were fully extended, each feather shimmering with dazzling golden divine patterns.

Liuli's originally clear eyes have now transformed into burning golden vertical pupils, making her look like a flame empress who has stepped out of mythology.

Under this sacred pressure, the air in the entire valley seemed to freeze.

“Woo—”

Three awakened fourth-tier magical beasts let out mournful howls, burying their heads deep into the soil in fear.

Although the Bloodthirsty Tiger was only at the fifth level of awakening, his condition did not improve much when he directly faced the pressure from Liuli.

Its attack came to an abrupt halt, its massive body hovering eerily in mid-air.

Those scarlet beastly eyes contracted violently, reflecting the figure that made its soul tremble.

"Class monitor, is this a beast tamer?"

The youngest member of the group murmured, his voice trembling.

Shen Ruoxue's hands clenched unconsciously, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She opened her mouth, her throat dry and painful:
"I think so."

Even she herself couldn't accept such a statement.

However, the novice trial space only contained these new beast tamers and magical beasts.

That divine figure was clearly not the latter.
That leaves only that utterly absurd possibility!
She is a beast tamer!

A novice beast tamer's beast taming!
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Liuli's golden vertical pupils coldly swept over the horde of demonic beasts prostrate on the ground.

She merely swung the holy sword in her hand casually.
Three crimson sword beams ripped through the void, and the three awakened fourth-tier magical beasts didn't even have time to howl before their massive bodies were neatly split in two.

A holy flame ignited at the cut, instantly burning the remains to ashes.

"Roar--!"

The bloodthirsty tiger let out a desperate roar, unleashing its final ferocity.

Liuli simply raised her sword slightly.

"laugh!"

The trail of the holy sword left a scorching afterimage in the air.

The Bloodthirsty Tiger's prized, hard body was as thin as paper in the face of the power of a legendary beast tamer.

Its pupils were still frozen in terror, but its body had already slowly slid down along the smooth incision.

"Buzz——"

A ball of azure light, about the size of a basketball, rose from the mangled body of the Bloodthirsty Tiger and slowly disappeared into Liuli's brow.

As the last wisp of holy flame dissipated into the air, the golden divine runes around her receded like a tide, and her four burning wings turned into specks of sparks that drifted away.

The figure that had been hovering in mid-air landed gently, but its steps were noticeably unsteady.

Although the "Seraph Form" can greatly enhance her attributes, the consumption is also extremely high.

Even with the fourth level of awakened glass, it could only last for about 30 seconds, no matter how hard it tried.

After confirming there was no danger, Liuli slightly turned her head and looked towards the shadows not far away.

Shen Ruoxue and the others unconsciously held their breath, their gazes following Liuli's movements.

What would a beast tamer with such powerful beasts be like?
However, when that familiar figure emerged from the shadows, everyone was stunned.

"Gu Xing?!"

Shen Ruoxue's pupils contracted sharply, and her voice involuntarily rose eight octaves.

As the class monitor of Beast Taming Class 3, she naturally knew this usually low-key classmate.

Not long ago, she heard that this classmate had her beast-taming skill taken away, and she was indignant at the time.

But now.
Shen Ruoxue's gaze darted back and forth between Gu Xing and Liuli, her mind almost shutting down.

As Gu Xing approached, he realized that Liu Li had rescued several acquaintances.

"Hey, class monitor, what a coincidence!"

"Qiaoqiao!" Shen Ruoxue answered mechanically.

A student who was usually unknown was now standing next to a legendary beast tamer who could instantly kill a fifth-tier magical beast.

The sense of incongruity was so strong that her temples throbbed.

Gu Xing nodded politely and then gestured for Liuli to leave.

There was less than half an hour left.

He must seize this last bit of time to raise Liuli's level to Awakening Stage 5.

Liuli obediently followed, and before leaving, she gave a slight bow to the others.

This action made the team members collectively gasp.

As soon as Gu Xing's figure disappeared into the mist, the team members immediately erupted in excitement.

"Holy crap! Class monitor, did you see that? I almost knelt down when that beast tamed you!"

"Didn't Gu Xing have his beast taming stolen? Why do I feel like he's even stronger now?"

"To be honest, I feel that the epic-level beast that Chen Ziming snatched is incomparable to this one."

"What if we run into Gu Xing during the assessment ten days from now?" one member said timidly.

"Just admit defeat!"

The five of them spoke in unison!

City Lord's Mansion.

Xia Xiu stood respectfully to the side, his eyes showing a hint of unease.

In front of him stood a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, his hands behind his back.

Although the man had a faint smile on his lips, he still managed to cast an invisible pressure over the entire hall.

He was the head of the entire Southern Military Region, the true number one leader, Wei Yuan!
"Commander Wei, why did you come in person?"

Wei Yuan turned around, his gaze lingering on Xia Xiu for a moment.

This former lowly soldier who once struggled under his command is now the lord of a city.

"I just came from Lanyang City. They produced a promising talent with A-level potential this year, which is quite good."

Despite saying that, Xia Xiu keenly noticed a hint of disappointment flash in Wei Yuan's eyes when he said it.

As the highest-ranking official in the Southern Military Region, Wei Yuan's personal inspection of various cities clearly indicates his intention to find truly top-tier talent.

Clearly, he has gained nothing.

"Chief Wei, the situation in our Lin Yuan City this year is probably not much different from that in Lan Yang City."

Before the trial began, he ordered his men to thoroughly review the information of all the participants.

Apart from the spoiled brat from the Chen family who contracted an epic-level succubus, everyone else's beast-taming aptitude...
It's all too complicated to explain in a few words.

Wei Yuan sighed softly, his brows furrowing with barely concealed disappointment:
"So be it. Ultimately, summoning beasts depends on fate; it cannot be forced."

He straightened his clothes. "I think I'll go check out other cities."

"I'll take you there."

Xia Xiu was about to see him off when the city lord's assistant stumbled in.

“What a disgrace!”

Xia Xiu's face darkened; losing face in front of his former boss made him quite embarrassed.

"How have I always taught you? To remain calm and composed in the face of adversity!"

The assistant then noticed the important figure in the hall and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

But he couldn't care less about anything else; his voice trembled with excitement:
"City Lord! A student with S-level potential has emerged in our Lin Yuan City!"

"what!"

Xia Xiu's voice suddenly rose, booming through the quiet city lord's mansion.

Even Wei Yuan, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly turned around and cast a surprised glance at him.
