Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 105: Ignite the Origin, Fourth Grade Long Jiang!
Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Ignite the Origin, Fourth Grade Long Jiang!
Under normal circumstances, the burning of the origin is an act shared by the Spirit Master and the Artifact Spirit.
But now, Xiao Zhan only saw the Artifact Spirit’s origin burning, while Long Jiang’s origin remained completely still!
This only explains one situation - that Long Jiang and this Artifact Spirit have signed a master-servant Contract! Only with a master-servant Contract can one burn on their own.
Xiao Zhan’s eyes gleamed with a cold chill; the head of the Evil Cultivators deserves to die!
He gripped the Demon Scythe and charged towards him.
At this moment, Long Jiang’s strength had surged. The burning of the Artifact Spirit’s origin freed him from the suppression of the SSS grade Artifact Spirits, allowing the full release of his Third Grade strength.
His long sword burst forth with a blue gleam, cleaving and shattering the surrounding Death Aura.
The Death Aura was immediately dispelled.
With several more slashes, the billowing Death Aura gradually scattered clean, revealing Long Jiang and Xiao Zhan inside.
With his vision back, Long Jiang once again seized the initiative against Xiao Zhan. He no longer had to rely solely on the "Ear Listening" talent for attacks and immediately swung his long sword in a sweeping arc.
His energy pierced the sky like a rainbow, a stark contrast to just before!
Xiao Zhan, refusing to show weakness, circulated his Spirit Manipulation Energy to clash, but the moment they touched, he immediately felt an immense pressure, causing him to involuntarily retreat several steps!
Seeing this, Long Jiang twisted his mouth into a smile, his onslaught relentless like a raging flood, one wave followed by another, putting Xiao Zhan instantly on the back foot, struggling to defend.
"Don’t resist head-on. The Artifact Spirit’s origin will only burn for a few minutes, and a lone Third Grade Artifact Spirit cannot reach the power of Fourth Grade when burning its origin alone. If we can hold out these few minutes, Long Jiang will be a spent force," Ye Youlong’s voice entered Xiao Zhan’s mind.
Xiao Zhan nodded and immediately switched tactics.
No longer choosing to confront head-on, he used subtle traces of Perception to predict and contend with Long Jiang!
Long Jiang’s attacks were ferocious, like a tiger descending the mountain, fatal at each strike.
But the excessive surge in strength made him lose the finesse of technique, or rather, he disdained using skills to attack. He was consumed with the thought of quickly killing Xiao Zhan.
Consequently, his attacks really did seem like a tiger with only three moves.
Therefore, after opting to dodge, Xiao Zhan found it exceedingly easy.
It appeared he was constantly retreating in an ungainly way, but in fact, it was all within his control.
Initially, Xiao Zhan’s evasion made Long Jiang somewhat proud, but as time passed, he gradually sensed something amiss.
Although his offensive was swift and Xiao Zhan looked overwrought, upon closer inspection, Xiao Zhan hadn’t suffered the slightest injury. In contrast, a significant amount of the Artifact Spirit’s origin had been depleted on his own side.
He suddenly understood that Xiao Zhan was merely dragging the time out.
But even with this realization, he found himself without any means to counter.
He had already given it his all, attacking with full force, yet Xiao Zhan was still as slippery as an eel. What could he do?
Xiao Zhan’s Perception almost always allowed him to take the initiative in any battle, with the ability to attack cunningly and defend flawlessly. Offense and defense intact, unless there was a great disparity in strength, Xiao Zhan was otherwise unbeatable.
As time continued to tick away, Long Jiang grew increasingly frantic.
He could clearly feel that the power of the Artifact Spirit in his hands was no longer as abundant as at the start, slowly weakening. In less than half a minute, the Artifact Spirit would completely lose its power and become useless.
And yet, looking at Xiao Zhan, aside from being slightly flustered, there was no damage whatsoever.
Even his Spirit Manipulation Energy appeared to have not been used much.
This guy’s physical prowess and core strength completely surpassed that of Second Grade!
Thinking of the impending death he was facing, Long Jiang couldn’t hold back anymore, his expression turned vicious as he went all out.
"Xiao Zhan, you really surprised me, step by step forcing me into a corner with no way out!"
"Since that’s the case, you can join me in death!"
Long Jiang erupted with a strong determination to die at this moment.
As he finished speaking, the aura around his body violently surged, increasing several folds in an instant.
At the same time, the Artifact Spirit, which had already begun to enter a state of lethargy, once again burned furiously! A bright blue light blazed like a radiant flare!
This was Long Jiang burning his origin!
Having seen the dead end he faced, Long Jiang completely let go, holding nothing back.
Even if he were to die, he would take Xiao Zhan with him!
The dual burning of the Spirit Master’s and Artifact Spirit’s origins, in just an instant, brought his power to the terrifying Fourth Grade Realm!
The Fourth Grade Realm signifies a mid-tier level, a qualitative change, and a transformation at the core origin!
Although Long Jiang’s move to forcefully reach the Fourth Grade only provided him with superficial power, without any enhancement in his core origin or the characteristic Battle Spirit Form,
even so, that was not something Xiao Zhan could cope with!
Xiao Zhan immediately felt an overwhelmingly oppressive force coming at him, like standing by the seaside facing the battering of a giant tsunami, leaving him no room to dodge!
"Xiao Zhan, go to hell!"
After burning his origin, Long Jiang didn’t hesitate in the least to deliver a lethal blow directly at Xiao Zhan!
"Sky-breaking Slash!"
On the long sword, it was no longer just a bright blue light that blazed, but the entire Artifact Spirit had become a blaze of blue light!
This was its dazzling summit, but also its final moment of glory!
Xiao Zhan, locked under the powerful presence of Fourth Grade, felt his perception severely constricted, unable to function as it should.
He had no choice to retreat from this overwhelming assault but to withstand it with grit!
"Spirit Manipulation Technique, Fish Lamp Soul Summoning!"
Inside his body, Spirit Manipulation Energy was fully activated, the release at this moment was as if it cost nothing!
Death Aura was stimulated to its peak, enveloping the surroundings like the roar of a malevolent specter!
Long Jiang was not in the least afraid, one might even say he didn’t take this Spirit Manipulation Technique seriously at all.
He held the long sword, charging forward with a blue light in front of him forming the shape of a blade, protecting him by cleaving through the Death Aura while simultaneously tearing it to shreds!
Even the Soul Summoning of the Fish Lamp couldn’t stop Long Jiang’s advancing steps, being instantly crushed to pieces!
This was the first time Xiao Zhan’s Spirit Manipulation Technique lost its effect.
The disparity in power of the Fourth Grade left him feeling a sense of powerlessness, something that no powerful Spirit Manipulation Technique could make up for.
Long Jiang’s face bore a wild smile of triumph, as he tore the dense Death Aura apart, and Xiao Zhan, who was at its very center, instantly became an unavoidable live target.
At this moment, he could finally pronounce Xiao Zhan’s sentence of death!
"Go to hell!"
Long Jiang roared, venting the hatred in his heart!
Xiao Zhan’s gaze deepened, remaining exceptionally calm at the moment of impending death.
Calm as if he had given up resistance altogether.
But Long Jiang wouldn’t care about that, whether it was true submission or a feint, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
