Mu Xuan had mentioned to Yao Si that she still wasn’t familiar with her ability and that’s why she was unableto control it. It meant thatshe needed more practice,but she had never expected that opportunity to arrive so quickly.

Yao Si glanced at the sky full of ships, not able to process the situation. All she did was got to sleep,and the next moment she was in outer space, her surroundings filled with ships of every size.

“Where is this?”Am Isleepwalking?

“The end of the Galaxy, an abyss.”

“What?”What do you mean?

“This is the Galaxy’s border,” Mu Xuanadded.“Any farther and we’d entera bottomless pit.”

“Why are we here?”

Mu Xuan turned to glance at her, reaching out to caress her head.“Your ability is unique and you haven’t mastered it yet, so I brought you here to practice.”

What did he mean?

“The best way to improve is through real combat.”

“Real…combat?” Yao Si asked, startled. She swiftly turnedto scan her surroundings which werefilled with ships. Her heart sank.“Are you trying to tell me… that all those ships are going to start flying?”

“Not at the moment.” Mu Xuandidn’t seem the least bit worried. After glancing at the ship in frontof them, he seemed to have a sudden thought. He pulled out an object that looked like a drink, and said in a stern tone, “You didn’t have time to grab a bite this morning! Have something to fill your tummy.”

Wait a minute, could you clarifyfirstwhat you meantby not at the moment? Does that mean they’re really going into combat mode?

“You don’t like it?” When she didn’t reach over for it, Mu Xuan dug into his storage for a few more items and brought outan assortment of hot and cold drinks. As he pulled more items out, he hurried her with a stern expression of a parent who didn’t like picky eaters.

(._.”)This is,afterall,a battlefield, can’t you be alittle more serious? We aren’t here on vacation!

“Duck blood curdhere, want some?”

“…Yes!” Yao Si reached for the bowl and downed it in two mouthfuls.

Even if she was going into combat, she still needed to fill her stomach. She hadabsolutely no issue with that. It was definitely not because she succumbed to the enticement.

╮(╯﹏╰）╭

Yao Si hurriedly finished the soup, drank acan,andatesome snacks. Just as she was wiping her lips, she realizedthat the ships hadn’t moved an inch. It was as though they had fallen asleep and weren’tready for any kind of battle.

There were many ships, and on a closer lookshe could identifythree groups:gigantic transport ships, smaller ships,and machines. There was also a small crowd floating in mid-air, just like her and Mu Xuan,who weren’t in any ship. At a glance, there wereover ten of them. Some of them stood on swords, so theywere probably from the celestial clan.

“If they start fighting, which side will we be on?” Yao Si couldn’t help asking. If they were going to practice, then they at leastshould get their targets right.

“Which side?” Mu Xuan stilled. He took aglance at her, then finallyseemed to process what she had meant and began to explain, “Theyaren’t—”

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud noise filled the originally silent space. Mid-air,not far from where they were, a black hole suddenly appeared. It was gigantic, larger than an entire planet, and with a pulling force that sucked everything inside.

Was this…space summoning?

Why was it so big!

Just as Yao Siwas still contemplatingit, the ships in the vicinitystarted their operation, positioning their weapons towardthe black hole. She could only see red and blue rays shining from the ships, and the next moment they shot at the black hole in unison. A few thousand blinding rays headed inside,like shooting stars.

A deafening eruption pierced the air, shattering the hole into a blinding whiteness.

Suddenly…

A loud howl camefrom inside, distorting the black hole. A shadowseemed to be rippingitfrom the inside,struggling to squeezeitself out.

Yao Si’s eyes went wide with horror.

Cat-Caterpillar! A gigantic caterpillar!

(⊙ o ⊙)

In less than half a minute, a giganticcaterpillar came squeezing out of the black hole. It was so white it was almost blinding! Its giganticwhite bodywasalmost transparent, and an unknownliquidcould be seenflowing within it. The caterpillar also had twodense rowsof tiny feet.

“What… whatis that?” Yao Si was in a daze. What did that thingeat to grow so large?

“A galactic beast,” Mu Xuan replied.

Galactic beast? Wait a moment, why did the name sound so familiar? It seemed…seemed…like perhaps…back when she was drinking the duck blood curd, she hadheard that name!

The galactic beast…was actually a bug?!

She felt her guts turning inside out.

“Too bad it’s a bug,” Mu Xuan lamented with regret.“Bugs don’t have blood.” A certain someone was alittle disappointed since he had beenhoping to find some fresh ingredients…

Yao Si heaved a sigh of reliefand grabbed his hand.“Thanks for saving my gut.”

“…”

Thecaterpillar was finally out of the hole. Since it was injured by the previous attacks, there were black wounds on its white skin. It wriggled out, then crawledaround and howledin anger.

Thenext moment, a massive gust of wind blew, sending a few smaller ships flying.

A few of the ships still in place started to take actiononce more. The celestial race men threw something out, and six invisible light walls appeared, trapping the caterpillar in something akin to a box.

The other people started to activate their abilities as well. Gold,wood,water,fire,and thunder—all sorts of abilities were summoned, and all of them were directed at the caterpillar. A number of theships in the surroundingsstarted to flee.

It was then that Yao Si finally understoodthe situation. These people had gathered here not to fight but to catch the caterpillar… No, the galactic beast.

“Go on, don’t be scared, I’ll be right behind you.” Mu Xuan pointed in the direction of the caterpillar.

“Mmh.” Yao Si nodded. She placedthe flying equipment she had prepared in advance on her handand headed in thedirectionof the fighting.

She finally understood why Mu Xuan had brought her here. Her ability would only grow when she met a worthy opponent. Even though all bloodlings hadabilities, everyone naturally hada Triple-S nature, making it hard for her to find a suitable training partner. Previously, after Yao Qian had casually triggered her ability, she almost destroyed the entire practice ground. Ifthey actually fought with both parties using their full strength, the entire Red Planet might go down with them.

In contrast, there were many abilities availablehere, which could aid herin unleashing hernew ability. Besides, the galactic beast was huge,and with visibly thick skin. Even if she couldn’tcontrol her power and accidentally used too much strength, it wouldn’t pose too much of a problem.

Judging from the color and model of the ships here, they were probably not from a regulated place butwere ruthless hunters that followed no law. Even if she and Mu Xuanjoined in, no one would catch on.

This was indeed the best place for her to practice her ability.
