The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 448 - 208: The First of the Ten Talents, Change of Ownership! _3

Nangong Kailang began to call for his allies.

However, the target of his and Nangong Bukailang’s shout had already been intercepted by Dongfang Xu, who possessed keen vision.

It was also a contracted spirit of the fire attribute, in the realm of a Jade Infant with small accomplishments, spewing orange flames. The heat was veiled in a hint of coldness and the characteristics of the flame were quite distinctive.

Dongfang Xu became very interested and, after a struggle, not only tried to block the enemy but also sought to slay this ’Orange Rabbit’, seize its flame, incorporate it into his Hundred Beast Heat, and continue to strengthen his own abilities.

With the ’Origin of Heterogenous Fire’ corresponding to the Hundred Beast Heat, the combat power of Three-tailed Red Flame Tiger would be amplified.

In addition to Dongfang Xu’s passive ability ’Flame Devouring Body’, the fire element around him would be absorbed, including the flames of the enemy’s contracted spirits, which would continuously become his replenishment. Against such a foe, the Orange Rabbit had no advantage and found itself pressed to fight back.

"Big brother, what do we do? We can’t get rid of this ghost."

"Little brother, don’t panic. I have an Ice Burst Talisman here. Once I detonate it, it’s sure to freeze this guy’s soul body!"

As Nangong Kailang said this, he tore the talisman in his hand.

However, the Glotony Ghost had already prepared, swiftly retreating a great distance.

This ’Ice Burst Talisman’ froze the ground and applied a vast area of chilly effects. The Super Hard Beetle and Ultra Soft Beetle, who were too close, also had to suffer a significant negative impact, their limbs becoming particularly stiff.

Even after paying such a price, the Glotony Ghost was unscathed. Nangong Kailang couldn’t help but become furious, his chest heaving and his clenched fists crackling.

"Heeheeheehee~~~"

After a while, when the dense chill had been diluted by the neighboring fire element, the Glotony Ghost approached once again.

Its belly undulated as it spat out three purple evil ghosts, stirring up gusts of cold wind and directly striking the Super Hard Beetle.

"Hiss hiss hiss!!"

The Super Hard Beetle had nowhere to retreat to. Its large jaws couldn’t touch the evil ghosts, and it could only watch as they collided with it. It was as if three spikes had been jabbed into its brain, stirring and refusing to relent.

After struggling for a few seconds, the Super Hard Beetle went mad, disregarding Nangong Kailang’s commands. It shook its owner off its back, then began to dig into the ground with its limbs, attempting to burrow underground.

"So this is the ’Glotony Ghost’? What an interesting contracted spirit."

The murmuring voice of Gu Miaoyu sounded. By the time the last note fell, the Wine Spider had reached the side of the two brothers.

She was not the least bit courteous. She started with ’Quench Wine’, strengthening the Wine Spider’s Spider Spear. Once it pierced the enemy, it could continuously add the effect of intoxication.

She didn’t choose the Super Hard Beetle with its too hard armor, but instead chose the dispirited Ultra Soft Beetle. Once the Spider Spear pierced its body and left innumerable wounds, the scent of wine permeated its soul strand by strand. In just a while, it started to sway drunkenly, unable to walk steadily.

"Thump!"

The Wine Spider unexpectedly pierced the life core hidden within the Ultra Soft Beetle, who let out a mournful cry as its life spark gradually withered.

"Thump!"

Nangong Bukailang would never be sunny again. With a flash of a blade, the Spider Spear pierced his heart, following a path left by an ineffective amulet.

"Little brother!!"

Nangong Kailang was filled with grief and anger. He drew a handful of mismatched talismans and hastily activated them.

Gas of plague, fire cloud, smoke of confusion, black swamp... A variety of obstacles appeared, but they still couldn’t stop the approaching Wine Spider.

Because the amulet on her was still lit, the Wine Spider held her Spider Spear aloft, looming over his head like a guillotine, and waited for the right moment.

Three minutes later, the amulet extinguished, and before Nangong Kailang could activate a second one, in that gap of a second, the Spider Spear slashed down diagonally, and Nangong Kailang would never be sunny again.

"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"

The Super Hard Beetle, which had escaped underground, felt the death of its master and kept vomiting blood.

The fear effect applied by the ’Fear Ghost’ was greatly reduced, and it crawled back out and threw itself at the Wine Spider in uncontrollable rage.

The Wine Spider retreated, unwilling to provoke the Super Hard Beetle in this state.

The Glotony Ghost appeared again, spewing out a white slow ghost, causing the Super Hard Beetle to move as if its legs were weighed down with lead, and its speed slowed significantly.

"What a pity, this is an Insect Fond Spirit. If it was a Nether Fond Spirit with a ghostly nature, I could easily capture it even if it’s at the stage of a Jade Infant reaching Perfection."

Lin Pingfan shakes his head, showing a trace of regret.

As a ’Ghost Catcher’, all his abilities are related to ghost-catching, unable to directly amplify the Gluttony Ghost.

And the Gluttony Ghost’s skills also strongly repress ghost-like entities, when encountering other types of Fond Spirits, the style of combat shifts towards outmaneuvering and control. It’s difficult to achieve powerful strikes and instant kills.

Ye Hanjun stands in calm silence.

If the Nangong brothers were still alive and heard this statement, they would probably be so angry that they spurt out three litres of blood.

Such a disgusting Gluttony Ghost, what is there not to be satisfied with? Evaluating it this way, it’s simply as if they’re not considered important at all.

"Nangong General has died! Nangong General has died!"

The pursuers, soldiers of the Grass Frog Country, scream in fear.

Ye Hanjun raises his eyebrows slightly. According to information, the surname of the commander of the 11th Division of Emerald Mountain City has nothing to do with ’Nangong’. Could it be that the previous commander died recently, and the Nangong brothers have just taken office?

After briefly pondering for two seconds, Ye Hanjun interrupts his thoughts.

The people are dead, the facts are no longer important.

As for these invaders, since they’ve come, they shouldn’t be allowed to leave, right?

"Kill!!"

Riding on a Wood Bird, He Wei blocks an opposing deputy commander, refusing to let him leave.

After Dongfang Xu exchanges injuries for an opportunity and kills the Orange Rabbit, the light of fire in his pupils shines even more brilliantly.

From the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, Swordsman Hu Dai, Thief Shumei, Growth Master Gu, and two new members who joined a while ago, Hunter Tiantian and Therapist Ironstone, cooperatively surround and kill the fleeing enemies, cutting off their last escape route.

"Haha, refreshing!"

"Commander Cold, all the generals! The 11th Division of Emerald Mountain City, as long as they attacked Blue Mountain City from this direction, have all been annihilated!"

"Send out the order, those injured should immediately receive treatment. Those with severe injuries should be sent back into the city for rest until recovery."

"Others should clean up the battlefield. Beasts that can be eaten shall serve as fodder for the Fond Spirits. All valuable armors, tools, treasures ... shall be recovered and redistributed."

"Yes!"

Chen Feizhou, He Wei, Dongfang Xu, Dong Feng ... and everyone else have received the order and immediately execute it.

"Renwo Kuang."

Jin Xiaohong, who is managing to stand up with a grimace on her face against the pain, suddenly shouts to stop Renwo Kuang, who is about to help clean up the battlefield.

"Along with the war, we have no chance to compete."

"But your Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit has already reached the stage of Rainbow Light Perfection, and your performance in the fight is clear to everyone. From today, you will be the first of the Ten Talents, and all our rankings will move back one place. Let’s settle it this way."

Renwo Kuang was slightly taken aback and then openly said:

"It doesn’t really matter anyway. With the war sweeping across, it’s uncertain when we can return to the academy."

"However... since this is a traditional project, the title of ’Mad Warrior’ that you mentioned just now is very good. I will take it as a title and temporarily occupy the first place of the Ten Talents."

When this statement was made, Linghu Fei, Le Zhengfeng, You Jin, Yu Yu ... more than half of them were somewhat baffled.

They should know that when they got their Ten Talents title, Renwo Kuang hadn’t even been promoted to the Southern Campus yet.

After advancing all of a sudden, he progressed like a rocket and is now standing at the very top of the second rank.

Is it because this Ren student is brilliant and fortunate, or is that person too unfathomable?

The people’s gaze—secretly sweeps over Master Han.
