The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 351 - 176: Corpse Stench Demon Tubers and Mad Sheep_2

"It’s because her Ability is so strong, and her Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits are quite rare, so it’s inevitable that she would be remembered by people."

"Some people have encountered her in the wild, watching her emotionlessly dissect the bodies of her prey, not just one, but many... Such a sight would send chills down anyone’s spine."

"How can a corpse dissecting Ability grow if it doesn’t toy with corpses?"

Dongfang Xu shook his head and muttered to himself:

"This Ability belongs to artists of slaughter, and they are also skilled in dissection."

"They have a keen insight of the weak points of the human and beast bodies, far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Could it really be her? A former senior?"

Huo Xin furrowed his brows and said contemplatively:

"If that’s really the case, then we really are destined..."

"Director Jiang Yongnian seemed to value her very much for a time, believing that she was extraordinarily talented and definitely had a place among the future Three Eminences."

"But because of that one mission, the bond between teacher and student was lost."

"Not long after, Director Jiang gradually retired and no longer bothered about the affairs of the academy..."

After hearing Dongfang Xu’s recollections, a change came over Ye Hanjun’s expression.

He knew little of Canghai Pavilion’s past.

But when he first met Jiang Yongnian, many of the intentionally difficult questions in the test had to do with the Corpse Race.

At the time, Jiang Yongnian mentioned something about "not helping her onto the right path," which indeed had an fleeting expression of regret.

Could he be referring to the girl he’d just seen in the underground casino, who was hidden inside a beast’s belly and killed Anlatusa with one powerful strike?

"Baa!!"

"Ping! Ping! Bang! Bang!!"

...

There were continuous sounds of fighting in the distance.

There was still another third-stage powerhouse in the underground casino, who originally hadn’t shown himself.

When Anlatusa was killed, the Spider Monkey let out a shriek. The powerhouse rushed out, filled with murderous intent, and chased after Bai Qin.

Bai Qin obviously couldn’t get rid of this pursuer.

Not far from the Red Soil Swamp, a fierce battle was triggered by their presence, and the huge commotion scared away countless indigenous spirits. Everywhere was in chaos, filled with a sense of fear and unrest.

"You guys stay on guard here, I’ll go take a peek."

Ye Hanjun instructed, not waiting for a reply before slipping into the shadows once again.

"Brother Xu, your friend... is quite solitary."

"A battle of the third stage, others would run as far away as possible. But he dares to go and join in the fun, he’s really too self-confident."

Watching the receding figure, Huo Xin scratched his head, astonished.

"His Ability has the effect of concealment, so he has enough to defend himself, no need to worry."

Dongfang Xu also seemed somewhat surprised.

Although his identity was revealed to Huo Xin, Master Han’s identity was still kept a secret, it wasn’t time to reveal it casually yet.

As long as Master Han didn’t speak out, he wouldn’t mention it to Huo Xin, always referring to him as White Crow.

...

"Baa!!!"

As they approached the combat zone, Ye Hanjun slowed down.

He didn’t use his eyes to see, but extended his perception, gradually capturing the movements on the battlefield.

"Bai Qin! Your Shadow Alliance has gone too far!"

"In the last month, you have repeatedly curtailed the wings of our Evil Shark!"

"Yes, in a territory like the Giant Frog Marsh, your Shadow Alliance is undoubtedly one of the top five dark organizations, famous and respected."

"But even if our Evil Shark is slightly inferior, the gap wouldn’t be too great. Aren’t you afraid of our leader’s fight to death, dragging you all into hell with us?!"

The other fighter was a middle-aged man.

He was unkempt, holding a large yellow machete in his hand, wearing a set of old-fashioned light armor, perched on the back of a large goat, full of rage.

It was a ’Mad Goat,’ a fearless Savage beast.

Its pain threshold was extremely low. Even if severely injured, it’s fighting strength wouldn’t be significantly weakened, refusing to give up until the very end. At this moment, it was continuously charging with its four horns towards a strangely shaped plant.

That was a ’Corpse Stench Demon Tuber,’ a type of Demon Spirit.

Its main body was a magnified red man-eating flower, with purple vines wrapped around the man-eating flower, like swords, staunchly protecting its master.

The nauseating odor, like rotten meat, would cause anyone who took a small whiff, to regurgitate bile."

"Speak up! How did our Evil Shark offend your Shadow Alliance?! Time and time again you slay our people, cut off our backbone, stifle our income, what’s your grievance?!"

The owner of the Mad Goat was also furious.

His hoarse voice, filled with rage, was undoubtedly inflamed with seething anger.

But Bai Qin wasn’t bothered at all, letting the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber guard her. Her cold-blooded eyes were always fixed on the man and goat. The energy dagger in her hand was aiming for his forehead, always looking for the opportunity to counter-attack.

"Fine! Good, good, good!"

"Playing dumb, aren’t you? Mad Goat, kill her!!

The man laughed manically after shouting ’good’ several times. The moment the murderous grinning smile appeared, it permeated the mud in the swamp.

"Baa!!!"

The Mad Goat charged ferociously.

Gang Qi appeared on its body, making it difficult for the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber’s sword-shaped vines to pierce through its body.

There was only one reason. The Corpse Stench Demon Tuber was just at the level of small achievement of the Jade Infant while the Mad Goat - was already at the Great Completion stage of the Jade Infant!

"Whoosh!"

The man’s Ability was undoubtedly classified as ’Hunter’ of grade E.

Unable to find an opportunity to Mark Bai Qin, he marked the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber to weaken its killing power, enhancing his own damage output, thus increasing the gap between them by both subtraction and addition.
