The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 428 - 202: The Sixth Disciple_1

"Humph!"

Goose Immortal took a glance at GuaGua, thinking that this youngster was quite an act, fooling the humans and messing with the witch, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the witch patted GuaGua’s head with a somewhat pampering expression. This made some students wonder if Master Han harbored ... unusual tastes? A taboo love between humans and beasts was frowned upon...

"Collect the spoils of war, tend to your injuries, and then retreat from here as soon as possible."

Du Yuanjia’s attention was mainly on Goose Immortal; he didn’t notice anything wrong with Lord Han at all.

Of course, the protracted battle and the strong and mysterious White Crow were heavily imprinted on his mind. This was also the reason his perceptiveness had weakened.

"Yes."

The unaffected mentors bowed and answered.

This includes the three champions who, even though they were not qualified to fight with the Shadow Alliance, could still help tidy up the battlefield.

"Pfft!"

Bian Haoran sliced open the Flying Claw Battle Bear, extracting the heart, the battle armor, and bottles of plasma.

The Two-tailed Direwolf and the Burrowing Lizard began to feast on the body of the Flying Claw Battle Bear.

After a fierce battle, they were physically depleted, and it was the perfect time for them to replenish their strength and to boost their muscles by eating meat.

The Water Cannon Frog only ate insects and plants, so it chose the corpse of the Yin Water Vine Monster.

The Water Tiger Sculpture was not picky and liked to eat both Frog Soldiers and Flying Claw Battle Bears.

About half an hour later, the party from the Canghai Pavilion quickly hit the road.

The Blue Frog Kingdom was in sight. As long as they could return within its borders, their safety would greatly increase.

...

"Huff—huff—"

Ye Hanjun canceling the "Enchantment", felt a piercing pain in his organs—the heart was the worst.

Aegifura’s Bloodline Power had finally surpassed her rank.

The high price paid for forcibly seizing and controlling it was not insignificant.

Ye Hanjun could perceive that the seal had opened up considerably.

If it was initially as thick as a finger, now it had widened to the size of a fist. Each day, the life essence pilfered would at least increase by five to ten times.

However... it didn’t matter!

Since coming to the Giant Frog Marshland, it had been less than seven months.

Ye Hanjun had already stepped into the 3rd Order and was aiming for the 4th.

Even though his dual authority made it more challenging to reach the 4th Order than with a single role,

But Ye Hanjun was supremely confident that, given his current resources and strength, it wasn’t a particularly demanding task to feed Aegifura.

"Swish swish swish—"

Repressing his pain, Ye Hanjun locked onto a figure three kilometers away and dodged shadows.

Fifteen minutes later, when he saw the person entering into a cave, he abruptly sped up and sneaked in like a ghost.

"Whoosh!"

A blindingly white blade emerged, and Bai Qin, who had removed her black robe, held the energy dagger in her grasp. Her pretty face was cold and ruthless.

After seeing the familiar face that appeared behind her, her killing intentions lessened, leaving only a bit of caution.

"This time, I must thank you."

Ye Hanjun revealed his body, ignoring Bai Qin’s wariness and guarded behavior. He gasped for breath for a moment, then inquired, "However, by messaging me like this, didn’t the Alliance Hierarch notice anything in particular?"

"It’s not a big deal."

Bai Qin stared into Ye Hanjun’s eyes, seemingly trying to understand how such immense power could exist under such an ordinary exterior.

"The sudden acceleration of the Canghai Pavilion is bound to raise suspicions."

"But my methods are clean, leaving behind no trace. Compared to suspecting me, the other people in the alliance are more worthy of suspicion."

"That’s good."

Ye Hanjun nodded, his breath gradually steadying.

Before he left, he took the heart of the Frog Soldier and forcibly refined it.

This energy was too strong, even though most of it had been consumed during the battle, even the small amount of remaining energy gathering in his body was overwhelming. The efficiency of passive absorption was not high.

But under subtle influences, as long as he endured the pain and clung to his beliefs, he wouldn’t instantly faint, and his condition would gradually improve.

"Whoosh~~~"

A giant red Man-Eating Flower stood behind Bai Qin.

Purple vines acted like sharp swords, rigorously protecting their master, giving outsiders no chance to attack.

"Oh, you are about to advance to the completion of the Jade Infant?"

Ye Hanjun glanced at it, a bit surprised.

The atmosphere of the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers was visibly deep and intense. That strange atmosphere, unstable and flitting, signaled that it could break through to a higher level at any moment.

"Your medicinal meals are very effective."

Bai Qin nodded lightly, acknowledging frankly.

Ever since their first meeting, when Ye Hanjun provided her with the coveted Reborn Corpse Clan Skill, and when she also promised to provide necessary intelligence to Ye Hanjun, their relationship had grown closer.

Ye Hanjun had voluntarily given the recipe for the demon tuber’s medicine food to Bai Qin. He hoped that Bai Qin would speed up her growth so that once her strength increased, she could naturally gain more power in the Shadow Alliance.

Of course, her noticing this early made this an act of unquestioned betrayal towards the Shadow Alliance.

Ye Hanjun thought that Bai Qin wanted to help him was one reason. Her lingering affection for the Canghai Pavilion was another reason.

She didn’t want to see the entirety of the Canghai Pavilion—from the headmaster to the three heroes and the ten talents—destroyed by the Shadow Alliance and see the once grand pavilion crumble overnight.

"Now that I have advanced to the 3rd Order, it’s time to discuss a new deal."

Ye Hanjun got straight to the point, saying directly,

"As you see, I now have two identities, one respectfully referred to as ’Master Han,’ and another known as ’White Crow.’

"Your speculation doesn’t deviate; I am indeed dual-authorized and have awakened twice. I currently have four Fond Spirits contracted, making me four times the number of a Patron of the same order."
