The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 185 - 130: D-Level Authority · Poisonous Tongue! (6000 words)_3

The noise, stoked by the crowd.

Wang Xinfei’s match certainly attracted many eyes.

But with twenty matches erupting simultaneously, the audience’s attention couldn’t keep up.

As long as someone was boisterously declaring the status of one fight or another, the crowd’s attention would be drawn away. It was hard to focus on one place.

Ye Hanjun... only glanced at Wang Xinfei once.

The opponent she met in the first round had an unknown occupation rank.

However, her contracted spirit was a Rock Frog, achieved Clay-body Great Completion, although slow, it excels in defense.

But with the type of enemy, a hoarse-armored horse would certainly have more say—that was, a single charge from it would certainly send the Rock Frog flying, it all while making a series of keening cries of pain.

"Hahaha! Miss Xinfei is heroic and valiant, proving that a noble lady can be just as good as a man! Just as good as a man!"

"The stubborn girl on the other side should just admit defeat early, maybe she could still make a comeback in the resurrection game. Why fight a life-and-death battle with Miss Xinfei?"

Ye Shan laughed loudly, picking up a portion of fruit from the tabletop and indulging in it.

Ye Hanjun stayed silent. Watching Wang Xinfei secure her win—an effortless victory—he moved his gaze from the first battle zone, one by one, to zone 20.

The prerequisite to participate in the freshman big match is to have at least an F-level battle occupation and a contracted spirit who had achieved Clay-body Great Completion.

For those newcomers who had just begun on The Path of Controlling Spirits less than a year ago, like Li Jingming, either they started with a high level and with the blessing of luck and abilities, directly contracting clay-body great completion.

Or, they contracted Clay-body Void Extraction or Clay-body Small Achievements, and then put in enough effort and used the right resources to finally grow to the point where they were able to participate.

Regardless of which type, students who were able to rank steadily within the top 1500 in the corresponding grade’s power ranking in the North Campus District.

Ye Hanjun looked around, out of the remaining 39 people, there were still 2 people who could slightly catch his eye.

One was because the contracted spirit was not like its usual state, and seemed to have undergo a slight mutation.

Another one’s contracted spirit, the Qingmu Wolf, had already achieved Clay-body Perfection.

Due to the oppression/adversity at the lower ranks, this student resolved the fight cleanly and quickly, becoming the first victor of the first round.

"Whoosh!"

A large bird flew in, dropping into the battlefield, to take away the defeated party who had lost a leg.

At the same time, an eagle flew in to take away the master of the Qingmu Wolf to the preparation area to recuperate.

"Croak croak!!"

In area 6, following a hoarse-armored charge, the Rock Frog’s skin shattered widely, its silvery blood stain soaked the arena.

The master of the Rock Frog cried out his surrender loudly. Wang Xinfei immediately patted the back of her armored horse. The erratic armored horse gradually halted.

"Wang Xinfei is the winner! She proceeds to the next round!"

The referee in charge declared the result.

With two screeches, another two avian creatures descended, respectively bringing away the two participants.

Ye Hanjun, slightly bored, lacked interest as he watched the remaining matches.

After patiently waiting for fifteen minutes, the first round of twenty battle zones all have victors and losers.

It only takes ten minutes to recover the arena, before Hu Taotao’s voice called out the 21st to 40th groups of participants for the second round.

"Huh?"

During his quick assessment, Ye Hanjun found that the quality of this round was generally higher. There were even five people who had contracted spirits that achieved Clay-body Perfection.

The one that caught his eye the most was a slender young man who stood on the northern side of area 12. With a height of 1.7 meters, his outfit was very flamboyant, as colourful as the Pink Ostrich.

His contracted spirit was a bullfrog— larger than a grindstone.

The bullfrog appeared very docile as it lay on the ground, exuding a harmless aura.

But on its grey head grew red toadstools, green abalone mushrooms, blue morning glory mushrooms, yellow plump lip mushrooms... tall, short, fat, thin - it had them all.

These mushrooms... all were poisonous!

"It’s a Mushroom Bullfrog! It’s a Mushroom Bullfrog!"

"This spirit is said to be owned by only one student, he must be ’Ying Yang’, the so-called ’Super Troll’!"

Many people in the crowd had their eyes wide open.

Strangely, the converging gazes were either from disgust or loathing.

Only a few people had complex expressions that were unspeakable.

"Ying Yang has two sprays, one from his mouth, which stinks like shit, the other is the spore, they are everywhere and hard to guard against—this is a well-known refrain in the Canghai Pavilion North Campus."

"Yeah, the poor guy opposite him is as pale as a sheet, he hasn’t even started the match yet...he’s scared stiff..."

A group of spectators close to Ye Hanjun, even if they were assistants, all looked on with sympathy.

Ye Hanjun suddenly became interested.

He had heard of this guy’s reputation before. Apparently, he had created some waves when first enrolled in the school 11 months ago.

There was no other reason than that Ying Yang’s Passive Ability was too weird.

The D-rank occupation ’Poisonous Tongue’ had to grow through damaging others with insults and sarcasm, only then would its experience grow.

He was a provocateur; his voice infused with the Passive Ability ’Yin and Yang Strangeness’—a few words were enough to infuriate an opponent.

In addition, Poisonous Tongue itself possessed a ’styptic resistance’, and the Active Ability ’Toxic Lick’ could both poison and detoxify a target.

Coupled with the Active Ability ’Poison Ring’, Poisonous Tongue was very suitable for highly toxic contracted spirits. It greatly enhanced their toxins, consequently improving their lethality and intimidation.
