Chapter 8 - Fire God Jade Marrow

Buzz!

Ye Xuan's innate talent, Affinity with All Beasts, activated in an instant.

"Uh…"

The Nether Spiritual Cat was licking its claws.

But in an instant, a look of horror suddenly appeared on its face.

In the next moment, the creature started trembling.

Its demeanor was as if it were facing a superior being, a king, and feeling that overwhelming fear.

The next second…

Without any hesitation, this creature turned around and knelt before Ye Xuan.

It was evident.

The Nether Spiritual Cat held boundless awe for the human before it.

Ye Xuan looked at the trembling creature kneeling before him.

He breathed a sigh of relief!

This skill surpassed his imagination with its immense power.

[Affinity with All Beasts (sss level): Subdue all beasts, suppressing them with the identity of a superior being, making them see the user as their king.]

Note: It remains effective against dragon clans as long as the gap between the user and the target is not too large.

Ye Xuan couldn't tame this Nether Spiritual Cat, not because he lacked the ability, but because the creature didn't qualify as his contracted beast.

However, the effect produced by the "Affinity with All Beasts" skill was essentially equivalent to taming the Nether Spiritual Cat.

Facing the creature groveling at his feet, Ye Xuan didn't hesitate at all.

With his novice sword in hand, he struck directly!

"Splat!"

This Nether Spiritual Cat, devoid of any courage to resist, took a direct hit and fell dead on the ground.

Before its death, it even seemed quite content!

It seemed that dying by Ye Xuan's hand appeared to be an honor for the creature.

[Target: Nether Spiritual Cat (1 / 50)]

Then…

Ye Xuan ventured into the canyon.

His courage grew stronger and stronger.

It started with one, then he attempted to subdue two, and later three…

He discovered that regardless of the number, there seemed to be no surprises.

All the Nether Spiritual Cats trembled in fear before him, lacking any courage to resist.

"Forget it! No more delays!"

Losing patience midway through the mission, Ye Xuan forcefully broke into the heart of the canyon.

Meow ~

The remaining twenty or thirty Nether Spiritual Cats were all startled upon the arrival of a stranger.

With eyes reddened, they regarded the intruder as their prey.

Then…

Buzz!

The skill Affinity with All Beasts activated.

In an instant!

The expressions on the faces of these over twenty Nether Spiritual Cats underwent a 180-degree transformation. They changed from ferocious and terrifying to fearful yet reverent.

All of them knelt before him.

Without any courtesy, Ye Xuan launched a massacre in the valley..

His methods were swift and clean!

He eliminated all the twenty-odd Nether Spiritual Cats.

His novice sword was almost worn out!

By killing dozens of cat demons, he gained several hundred experience points, and his level unexpectedly rose to 11.

However…

None of this mattered to Ye Xuan.

What he cared about most were the rewards for his system mission.

Ding!

[Newbie Mission (Phase 1) Completed]

[Rewards distributed!]

[Obtained a piece of Fire God Jade Marrow!]

[Attribute points increased by 20 points.]

[Newbie Mission Phase 2 Begins: Tame a Flaming Holy Dragon cub!]

[Reward: Professional Skill Book (B-level)*3]

[Punishment: None ]

[Time Limit: 24 hours]

[Host, please don't slack off and complete the mission as soon as possible!]

Ye Xuan took a deep breath.

But he still felt a deep sense of excitement in his heart!

Because his life had reached a turning point.

Fire God Jade Marrow!

That was the favorite food of the Flaming Holy Dragon cub. Ye Xuan didn't know if he could successfully tame the little creature with this jade marrow.

Now he urgently wanted to become stronger.

Because he had grown up in that orphanage, he knew that the lives of the orphans there were far from pleasant.

They suffered from lack of clothing and food, enduring hunger and hardship!

But what was even worse was the countless people who bullied them from childhood to adulthood.

According to the orphanage director, they used to have sponsors for the orphanage.

But the person who sponsored them had died two years ago.

The sponsor's son and daughter were no longer willing to spend money on the orphanage.

Regarding their choice, Ye Xuan had nothing to say.

If others were willing to help them, that was very kind of them; if others were unwilling to help, there was nothing wrong with it!

Therefore, they had to rely on themselves from now on.

For the past two years, the orphanage barely managed to survive through the director secretly working odd jobs.

But this couldn't go on!

Because the director's health was not good, and if she continued like this, she would soon fall ill.

If the director fell, the children in the orphanage would have an even more miserable life.

Therefore…

Everything depended on this one time.

Ye Xuan took out the dragon egg from the system's warehouse.

The dragon egg was still emitting heat waves.

The little creature inside even wiggled a few times mischievously.

It seemed to be angry again!

Because Ye Xuan put it into the system's warehouse, making the little creature feel too bored.

Ye Xuan took out the piece of Fire God Jade Marrow.

After opening the box…

Boom!

Another wave of heat surged forth.

It was the power of fire elements, and not just ordinary fire elements. This was the purest and most extreme form of fire elemental power.

Truly worthy of being a product of the system!

After the Fire God Jade Marrow appeared, the fire elements in the surrounding air were constantly attracted over.

"So this is an S-level treasure? Truly powerful!"

Ye Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

For a Fire Mage, this kind of thing was something they dreamed of obtaining.

Just by absorbing one piece!

The damage of the Fire Mage would undergo a qualitative leap.

Therefore, a piece of Fire God Jade Marrow was the lifelong pursuit of all fire mages.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The little creature in the dragon egg seemed to sense the aura of the Fire God Jade Marrow.

It seemed very excited… drooling over this jade marrow.

"Do you want to eat it?"

"Okay! As long as you obediently submit to me, this Fire God Jade Marrow is yours!"

Ye Xuan held the Fire God Jade Marrow and gently shook it in front of the dragon egg.

This time, the little creature inside the egg seemed even more excited!

It kept bouncing around.

It seemed it almost wanted to jump out of the egg to snatch it.

But Ye Xuan withdrew it and said, "You haven't agreed to my condition yet! After I tame you, then you can eat it, and you can eat as much as you want in the future! Otherwise…"

Ye Xuan used a teasing tone.

Surprisingly, the restless dragon egg became quiet!

Ye Xuan then attempted the Dragon Taming Art again.

"Congratulations! You've successfully tamed it!"
