The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 431 - 203: In the future, the Immortal Will Protect You_1

"Ah! Ahh!"

Over the desolate swamp, sharp cries echoed from time to time.

It was a ’sand sculpture’ bird with a wingspan of four meters, coated in yellow-brown feathers, dull and rough.

It didn’t appear robust but rather frail, as if malnourished. Mainly because this kind of Fond Spirit was not a wild beast but a Demon Beast with sand-elemental magic skills.

"Keep flying!!"

"Once you get there, when that grand opportunity drops on your head, advancing to Great Completion Jade Infant would be a piece of cake. It won’t be long before you become an aristocrat among birds, with delicious food, shiny jewels, beautiful female birds...what won’t you have?"

Ye Hanjun kept on sweet-talking the sand sculpture.

This method worked like a charm. As a demon beast, with its average flying speed, the sand sculpture practically put in all its effort. Apart from essential feeding and rest, it spent all its time sprinting.

"Good job! I’ll call you ’Old Sha’."

Ye Hanjun nodded incessantly, not forgetting to praise while encouraging.

What could he do? This creature’s core personality was ’vanity’.

The more it was flattered, the happier it was. The more its future was depicted as comfortable and easy, the more its potential was ignited, driving it to a point of no return.

...

"Ah, what’s going on?"

"Ever since that battle, Master Han fell sick and hasn’t gotten up. Even after returning to the academy, he hasn’t left his manor. Where did he get hurt that it’s so severe?"

"I have no idea, I’ve seen it several times. Master Han always holds his head, like he’s mentally traumatized."

"The strange thing is, he refuses the checkup by the medical mentor, saying ’I will be fine after some rest’, we really can’t figure out his thoughts..."

In front of the Han Residence, a group of students gathered.

Leading the group were Tan Ziping and Huo Xin, followed by senior students who participated in the Five Academies Tournament.

The remaining onlookers discussed amongst themselves, none of them able to make head or tail of the situation.

They had heard more than once about Master Han’s impressive record of sweeping victories in the tournament, which left them in awe and admiration.

However, the attempted killing at Canghai Pavilion couldn’t be concealed.

The situation at Canghai Pavilion was now a citywide storm, causing upheaval throughout the academy. From the mentors to the outstanding talents, down to the ordinary students, including those in the North Campus, even the nearby Tianyafu Residence was affected. The massive disturbance had not subsided even after three days, and it even showed signs of escalating.

"Master Han can’t go down... He’s already a star mentor... with a prominent status."

"That scene of Goose Immortal fighting after consuming the spiritual medicine and the Wheel of Life Embryo, was incredibly astonishing, and is still imprinted in my mind, unforgettable..."

"Indeed, but I’m more curious about the witch."

"She originally controlled Wind and Sand Dual Elements. After ascending, her sand element seems to have weakened, and thereafter, her wind element exploded, flying around like a golden flash."

"Even trying to capture her figure is difficult, she wasn’t really hit during the battle, isn’t such ability terrifying?"

Meng Lina, Zhuang Wenyao, Nian Feiming, Yu Qingyan ... all expressing admiration or amazement.

Ye Hanjun, who was eavesdropping in secret, wiped a cold sweat and snuck towards the back door of the manor.

Racing against time, he finally returned.

Good thing, although his personal image had become a bit odd, GuaGua didn’t blow his cover, that could be considered a perfect score.

"Bam!"

Feeling compelled, the back door was opened.

A swirl of golden wind swept past. Ye Hanjun dashed into the house and quickly closed the door with a bang.

"My Lord."

The Witch slightly bows in respect.

"Big Tadpole!"

The other Ye Hanjun stood by the side, lifted his head and looked up with his sparkling eyes.

"Plop!"

GuaGua transformed back into Enlightened Frog and hopped onto Ye Hanjun’s head, snuggling affectionately.

Ye Hanjun stroked the little guy’s warm belly and showered him with praise:

"As expected of GuaGua, performing so well in your first act, no one saw through you."

"Guah~~Guaguah~~~"

The Enlightened Frog squinted in comfort, bobbed its little head, quite pleased with its masterpiece.

"Oh, who’s back?"

A sound of clanking, and Goose Immortal, glancing from the corner of his eye, descended from the sky.

"Human Master, do you realize you’re playing with fire?"

"Although we have established a Blood Covenant, it’s unlike regular contracts, don’t worry too much."

"Still, Huazhu might be slightly affected. If you continue like this, there’ll come a day when it backlash on you."

"Indeed."

Unusually, Ye Hanjun didn’t reject but accepted the advice.

Before Goose Immortal could hold his head high and hum a tune, Ye Hanjun chuckled:

"I caught a Jade Infant level avian creature to speed up the journey."

"Go to the South Gate in a while to fetch it. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with its lineage."

"Oh?" Goose Immortal suddenly lowered his head, his round eyes fixed :

"You actually thought of what Immortal me wanted, it’s a refreshing change."

"Quickly, what breed is it? Is it good at melee or range attacks? Immortal me will definitely train it well, my bird squadron have been thirsting for long!"

Goose Immortal got excited, flapping his wings, itching to head to the South Gate instantly.

Even though the manor was already accommodating numerous avian creatures, they were nothing more than Rainbow Light Embryo.

Although it could still use the ’Superior Troop Training Art’, and the speed of assisting growth far surpassed the previous ’Army Training’, it still left a lot to be desired.
