Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 102: Evil Cultivator, Master-Servant Contract
Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Evil Cultivator, Master-Servant Contract
Their perceptual talent allows them to determine the talents of others.
This was evident from the very first time Ye Youlong found Xiao Zhan.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was also puzzled.
No wonder the strength of this Second Grade Spirit Master was so weak; he couldn’t even handle a move with just 70% of Xiao Zhan’s strength!
Normally, when battling a Second Grade Spirit Master, Xiao Zhan would generally have the upper hand, not only because his SSS-grade Death Demon Scythe suppressed lower-grade Artifact Spirits, but also because their core origin power was significantly superior.
But even so, the opponent shouldn’t be so weak as to not withstand a single move.
This guy was just incredibly weak.
Xiao Zhan had a feeling that if he struck with full force, he could probably obliterate him instantly!
Suddenly, he thought the face of the Sound Ring Saber Artifact Spirit that was sent flying looked a bit familiar.
After a brief recollection, wasn’t this the missing woman on the list?
So... what was going on here?
During his confusion, those people charged at Xiao Zhan.
They swarmed up, wanting to combine their strength to kill Xiao Zhan. The remaining six Second Grade Spirit Masters also attacked Xiao Zhan from three different directions!
Xiao Zhan’s strength caught them off guard; in a one-on-one fight, they were no match and had to utilize their advantage.
Facing their attack, Xiao Zhan did not hesitate and executed the Fish Lamp Soul Summoning Technique!
This was his first time using it since becoming a Second Grade Spirit Master.
With his core origin transformed, he instantly felt a different sense of release!
Thicker and larger, faster and fiercer, it was more enduring!
The dense Death Aura surged out like something unstoppable, startling even Xiao Zhan himself.
In the blink of an eye, it had enveloped everyone!
Panic and fear spread in the darkness, and despairing screams filled the air. The Spirit Masters lost sight of light, and their Artifact Spirits became their salvation.
They slashed wildly, and those up close drew their swords in confrontation!
There was no time to distinguish friend from foe!
In this darkness, Xiao Zhan moved as if in broad daylight, with ease and precision, the Demon Scythe reaping life after life as he passed.
In less than a minute, all of them lay before him.
With a flick of the Demon Scythe, it did not stain with blood, effortlessly clean, with no sensation of damp hands.
Xiao Zhan approached one of the Artifact Spirits; when he first noticed one with a familiar face, he paid close attention to the others’ Artifact Spirits and discovered that all of these Second Grade Spirit Masters’ Artifact Spirits were the missing people.
He was quite surprised.
But what surprised him more was how these Artifact Spirits had formed contracts with these people?
Putting aside whether these people were good or bad, their talents were far too inferior compared to the Artifact Spirits!
No one with a sound mind would form a contract.
"Who are these people? And how did you form contracts with them?"
Xiao Zhan asked warily.
These women might have already become accomplices with their contractors.
Seeing Xiao Zhan, the Artifact Spirit was evidently scared, having sharply felt Xiao Zhan’s terrifying power.
Not knowing Xiao Zhan’s identity, and fearing for her life, she hurriedly blurted out everything.
"These people are not good. We are students from the academy. They kidnapped us, tortured us terribly, and forced us to sign master-servant contracts with them!"
"They exploit our talents, crazily extracting our worth, allowing their own strength to rise rapidly! Then, after they’ve squeezed us dry and our Artifact Spirit Forms are damaged, they discard or sell us!"
After she finished speaking, she cautiously looked at Xiao Zhan.
Hoping that Xiao Zhan had come to rescue them.
And when Xiao Zhan heard her story, his heart pounded wildly; he suddenly understood everything.
He understood why all the missing people were those with high talents.
These damned guys, they were actually a bunch of Evil Cultivators!
It had been mentioned before, there were three types of contracts, and the most evil among them was the master-servant contract.
This contract, during cultivation, could forcibly extract the other party’s core origin and various attributes to strengthen oneself through the oppression of Contractual Power.
This could speed up the cultivation process, but correspondingly, as the ’servant’ side, it would cause damage to their core origin.
For Spirit Masters, their Contract Space would become withered, thus rendering them unable to manipulate spirits.
For Artifact Spirits, their Artifact Spirit Forms would be damaged, unable to transform into Artifact Spirits.
Xiao Zhan never expected to encounter such a group of Evil Cultivators here!
"I am from the Special Service Bureau, I’ve come specifically to rescue you. Are only a few of you still alive? Where are the others?" Xiao Zhan hastily asked.
Upon hearing this, the Artifact Spirit burst into tears of excitement. After enduring such torment, she finally saw hope.
Other Artifact Spirits, upon hearing this, also ran to Xiao Zhan, crying about their plight.
However, some Artifact Spirits were quietly running towards the outside.
Xiao Zhan knew without thinking that these Artifact Spirits were originally in cahoots with these Evil Cultivators. Immediately, his hand raised the saber and sent all of them off!
"There are others alive, but..." The Artifact Spirit’s expression looked troubled.
Xiao Zhan also understood what she implied, his grip tightening, "Lead the way!"
She hesitated subconsciously, a semblance of fear appearing in her eyes, evidently terrified by the place she must lead him to.
But remembering Xiao Zhan’s strength, she bravely stood up, "They’ve already sent out their full force against you, there’s now only a Second Grade Spirit Master and a few First Grade guards left there, let me take you!"
"We’ll take you too," said the other women.
Mainly because they were also afraid of encountering danger if they stayed here.
Xiao Zhan didn’t want to bring so many people; it was too troublesome, but it was indeed dangerous for them to stay here, so he had no choice but to take everyone with him.
But it wasn’t as trouble as he imagined.
The seven women transformed into Artifact Spirits, and since Artifact Spirits could fly low to the ground, leading the way was silent and even looked quite cool.
The scene was armed with sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, somewhat evoking the feeling of a sisterhood of warriors.
...
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Long Jiang and Liu Yuan were chasing suspects; they were fast, but Long Jiang’s face showed no urgency.
Instead, there was concern.
"What’s going on, why haven’t we received any news for so long? Could something have happened?"
"That shouldn’t be, with the full force they’ve sent out, such a grand array, it shouldn’t be possible for them to fail to capture him."
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
The communicator he was holding also continued to fail to bring the news he expected.
"Comrade Liu Yuan, stop the chase, I think they didn’t take this route. We have gone deep enough, if we chase any further, we’ll enter the Demon Beast territory."
Long Jiang felt sure that something had happened; he had to go back and check the situation.
