“Ming Ye, try to absorb as much as you can from the Soul of Death first.”

“Raise your rank to Silver Stage before trying to control these four undead creatures.”

“It also takes time to absorb and refine the pure Dead Qi.”

“Even if you form a contract with these four undead creatures right now, there’s no way to quickly increase their stage and quality.”

Yan Yubanruo had long been envious of the Soul of Death Fen Mu purchased.

However, Yan Yubanruo considers Fang Mu his master, and in the dictionary of a Ghost System Beast, there is no saying of a servant demanding anything from the master.

But now that Fang Mu has given him the entire jar of the Soul of Death, Yan Yubanruo revealed a rare smile on his face.

He greedily clutched the jar containing the Soul of Death to his chest.

He opened the jar, leaving a small gap, and took a sip.

Immediately, about thirty to forty pure black souls, constantly emitting harrowing screams, were absorbed into Yan Yubanruo’s belly.

Instantly, the dark aura of the Soul of Death began to surge in Yan Yubanruo’s purple Ghost Flames.

Despite Yan Yubanruo’s fast absorption and conversion of the Soul of Death, it is no match for their overwhelming numbers.

Fang Mu planned to read a book while dozing off next to the Sakura Tempering Carp.

Wait for Yan Yubanruo to reach the Silver Stage, absorb and condense a batch of Undead Crystals from the Dead Qi.

Then let Yan Yubanruo control these three Tomb Hunting corpses and the Giant Brutal Butcher through the White Paper Man, and upgrade these four undead creatures.

Fang Mu hadn’t read his book for long when Hu Tao called.

As soon as Fang Mu picked up the call, he heard Hu Tao laughingly ask on the other end.

“Fang Mu, school starts tomorrow. My mom asked if she should make breakfast with a three-delicacy filling or make an egg crepe roll with sausage?”

Thinking about it, Fang Mu hasn’t eaten Hu Tao’s mom’s breakfast for almost two months.

Fang Mu is not sure how to describe the breakfast that Hu Tao’s mom makes.

If he really had to describe it, everything she makes is delicious.

When Hu Tao asked what he wanted to eat, Fang Mu didn’t feel he had the liberty to choose.

“Your mom’s breakfast is all delicious, just let her make whatever you like to eat!”

No matter what Hu Tao’s mom makes, it doesn’t make a difference to Fang Mu.

Because ever since the quality of the Blood of Abundance improved, Fang Mu’s stomach turned into a bottomless pit.

Filling up his stomach relies entirely upon nutrition meals.

The amount of breakfast Hu Tao brings, is just enough for Fang Mu to taste.

Thinking about the snacks that Yan Wood and Fang Yuan packed for him in the capital, Fang Mu said to Hu Tao.

“I just came back from the capital, right? I brought back some snacks.”

“You can bring some home to your mom tomorrow.”

Although he’s eating Hu Tao’s mom’s meals every day, Fang Mu really felt a bit guilty.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao’s face involuntarily reddened, as if she was thinking about something.

Since Hu Tao returned, she would call him every two or three days.

Usually, every time she called, Hu Tao would find a topic and chat with Fang Mu for at least three to five minutes.

But this time, after hearing what Fang Mu said, she hurriedly hung up.

Seeing this, Fang Mu raised an eyebrow and thought to himself.

If Hu Tao’s Iron-winged Sparrow fully exploits its potential, its bloodline is very potent.

Fang Mu had observed Hu Tao’s Iron-winged Sparrow through the Eye of Omniscience. The Iron-winged Sparrow could evolve into a City Protecting Magpie, awakening the bloodline of the Phoenix.

Once it evolves into a City Protecting Magpie, its evolutionary path will become much more open.

Just as Fang Mu was preparing to go to the school library tomorrow to find some books related to the Phoenix and study its bloodline, he noticed that Yan Yubanruo’s rank had risen from Copper Stage One to Copper Stage Four.

This rate of strength improvement exceeded Fang Mu’s expectations.

Each Ghost System Beast has different capabilities in absorbing the Soul of Death.

Even if they belong to the same Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beast, their abilities to absorb the Soul of Death differs greatly.

Yan Yubanruo has an exceptionally high affinity for the Soul of Death, which is good news for Fang Mu.

Staying up all night doesn’t pose a problem to Fang Mu, who’s already a Beast Master.

If he doesn’t drain his soul energy in a day, the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen won’t have many objections.

He hadn’t been reading for more than half an hour when a strong energy fluctuation came from Yan Yubanruo’s body.

In the pervasive dark purple Ghost Flames, Yan Yubanruo’s rank was enhanced.

Upon checking, Fang Mu found that Yan Yubanruo’s Silver Grade Skill was [Execution Shackles].

[Execution Shackles]: When the target’s life energy and vitality are less than thirty-five percent of one’s own, the shackles will bind the target and inflict serious damage. The target will receive exponentially multiplied damage when attacked, and its own energy consumption will also double.”

Seeing Yan Yubanruo’s Silver Grade Skill, Fang Mu knew he had acquired another functional ability.

Once the [Execution Shackles] are attached to a target, the target receiving double damage is only a little part of it.

The increased energy consumption by oneself to some extent equals to sealing the target beast’s sacrificial abilities.

Even if the target beast successfully performs a sacrifice, its combat power after the sacrifice will be significantly reduced due to the doubled energy consumption.

This skill is very rare among Fang Mu’s known abilities of the Guardian Beast.

After Yan Yubanruo upgraded his rank to Silver Stage, he completely suppressed the three Tomb Hunting corpses and the Giant Brutal Butcher who’s only a Copper Stage Seven in terms of rank.

Yan Yubanruo didn’t rush to absorb the remaining Soul of Death, to make his rank reach the Silver Peak.

Instead, he simply touched the White Paper Man hovering around him with his finger.

The crimson fingernail stabbed into the four White Paper Men, leaving four bright red traces.

Immediately afterwards, the four paper men marked the tombs of the three Tomb Hunting corpses and the face of the Giant Brutal Butcher without hesitation.

The three Tomb Hunting corpses and the Giant Brutal Butcher all felt threatened by the White Paper Man.

The Tomb Hunting corpses crawled out from their tombs and, together with the Giant Brutal Butcher, brandished their shackled claws, trying to attack the White Paper Man.

However, the White Paper Man was extraordinarily tough, and the claw tearing did not break the White Paper Man.

The four pieces of White Paper Men were respectively stamped onto the bodies of the Tomb Hunting corpses and the Giant Brutal Butcher.

The three Tomb Hunting corpses and the Giant Brutal Butcher’s bodies stiffened for a moment and quickly returned to normal.

Yan Yubanruo whispered to Fang Mu.

“Master, these four undead creatures have now been controlled by me and have become my paper puppets.”

“You can safely let them out of the cage now!”
