The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 631 - 269: The Expelled Young King_3

"Beat it!"

Ye Xuezhu pointed her finger, and a piece of ice the size of a fingernail slapped across Ye Yu’s face, leaving a blood cavity the size of an eyeball.

Ye Yu, with a muffled grunt, said nothing, bowed his head, and ran off.

The rest, Ye Xiao, and Ye Yaxin, one pursing his dry lips, the other suppressing the fear in their hearts, bowed their heads in unison. They dared not look at Ye Xuezhu’s naked body and quickly fled the scene.

"Crack!"

Ye Xuezhu clenched her fists, her nails dug into her palms, leaving four bloody wounds deep enough to see bone.

Her face alternated between pale and flushed, she raised her hand again and stared at her flawless arm, trembling all over.

"Your Highness, a single failure does not define a problem."

The owner of Xuan Light Bird hidden in the light mist, slowly ascended into the sky:

"I am only responsible for physical healing. My task is complete. We shall part ways now."

...

"How is it possible! How can this be!"

"Why is it Xuezhu who got blasted off Demon Dragon Island? She is the Young King, standing at the peak of the 5th Rank!"

The three fleeing people regrouped in the underground training area.

Ye Yu slammed his fist into the wall, letting the fresh blood drip from his cheek, with no intention of tending to his wound immediately.

"The person who could defeat Xuezhu at her peak must be the Heavenly and Earth Stage!"

"If Xuezhu was not at her peak, she might have lost to Ye Shan, Ye Dan, and others..."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, and ventured to guess:

"But you all saw it, her face looked terrible, and Yu just chimed in. She was like she wanted to kill him."

"Why did Xuezhu get so angry, what could be the reason?"

At these words, all three fell silent.

Ye Chenmu who stood by the window, gazing out at the sky, thought again of that face.

His gaze was deep, he dropped his gaze after a while, turned around, and walked towards the door:

"I have been here for two months, and it is utterly boring."

"I don’t want to waste my time here anymore, I should find a place to advance to the 5th Rank as soon as possible."

"If you guys still want to join in the fun, then continue..."

Ye Chenmu’s voice faded until it disappeared, and his silhouette was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Yu, Ye Xiao, Ye Yaxin, the three exchanged glances and all thought about retreating.

"Forget it, Chenmu was right. What’s the point of hanging out here."

"With this time, it’d be better to figure out how to advance our rank. Being strong oneself is king."

"As for the disputes between the Young Kings...we’re not in a position to intervene. We might as well keep our mouths shut and forget about what happened today."

Being the second to follow suit, Ye Xiao’s tone changed from hesitant to firmed very quickly.

"Right, you can’t hide what’s happened. The news that Xuezhu was defeated on Demon Dragon Island can’t be suppressed."

"But at least for a short time, the news shouldn’t leak from us. In case we get on Xuezhu’s bad side, it’s not going to end well."

Ye Yaxin, looking at the hole in Ye Yu’s cheek, showed a hint of fear.

...

On Demon Dragon Island, the third month.

Ye Hanjun followed the footsteps of the Moon Shadow Dragon and found the Moon Shadow Flower.

Then he led Ye Liuying, and the two settled in the valley.

During the day, the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits took turns to participate in the training of the Gate of Life and Death.

At night, playing with GuaGua, cutting Mo, practicing handling the Stone Giant... was quite fulfilling.

From time to time, Absolute String would take the initiative to play the zither.

In a non-combat state, it can only play the "Bright Lake Chant", every time it was engrossed and completed immersed in it.

This song, in fact, had no killing power.

Those who were impatient couldn’t listen, but for innocent beings like GuaGua, long-term listening had the benefit of promoting growth.

The second benefactor was the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum, a Medicine Beast that used ’tranquility’ as its Core Personality, making it a perfect ’bosom friend’.

Huazhu was also slightly moved, gradually maturing towards Small Achievement Rank.

Unfortunately, one month’s time was a bit short, and due to intermittent listening, neither the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum nor Huazhu was ready to increase their rank.

However, Goose Immortal who ate the fifth Fruits of Despair, finally followed behind the Stone Giant, GuaGua, and Mo, becoming the fourth to advance to the Small Achievement Rank.

...

In the middle of the third month, Ye Liuying recovered.

Thanks to GuaGua’s healing skills, her recovery time was halved.

They didn’t rush to leave Moon Shadow Flower Valley. Instead, they honed their spirit of battle every day amid the melodious music.

By the beginning of the fifth month, Huazhu and Demon Heart Chrysanthemum had progressed towards Small Achievement Rank, while, surprisingly, the once strongest Aegifura, turned out to be the last.

"I mean... you can’t be giving up like this..."

"The demon dragons I catch for you every now and then are full of life force, but you’re spending all day hugging that Youth Tree... That’s just not right."

Before leaving, Ye Hanjun tried to impart some ideological education lessons to the Ancient Succubus.

Much to his surprise, Aegifura lazily didn’t even bother to roll her eyes. She just sat by the pond, admiring her beautiful figure in solitude.

"Quack~~"

GuaGua secretly transformed into the image of the Ancient Succubus, prancing around on high-heels, making all sorts of odd poses.

Aegifura let out a Scream, but the whip in her hand was directed towards Goose Immortal instead.

Even if Goose Immortal was on the same rank, he dare not say he’s 100% resistant to her enchantments.

However, having a one-level rank advantage, he recklessly let the whip fall, his face calm and unbothered by the experience, and he even took the opportunity to condescendingly lecture her:

"You don’t practice, you spend all day messing around, and you still wanted to enchant me?"

"Get lost!"

Aegifura’s white hair fluttered wildly, and she shouted irritably:

"Listening to their songs every day, you all are having a blast, I’m about to go crazy!"

"I don’t need to fight, and life essence is only used to maintain the operation of my bodily functions!"

"I need Illusion System spiritual medicine, or a Contracted Fond Spirit’s essence blood that is also part of the Illusion System! If the condition is met, I can rank up. If not, I’ll have to wait and grow naturally. I should be able to rank up in twenty or thirty years!"

"You need an Illusion System?" Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows and began to devise his strategy.

He had always been trying to figure out Aegifura’s growth pattern.

However, she didn’t cooperate at all. She either ignored him or gave him a cold shoulder, which was very discouraging.

Aegifura’s initial point was Great Completion Rank and she’s currently at Virtual Pull Rank.

And during this period, GuaGua, Goose Immortal, Mo... all the other Contracted Fond Spirits overtook and surpassed her by reaching multiple new levels.

"Would this work?"

Remembering the shed skin of the Jade Devil Dragon in his storage ring, Ye Hanjun took it all out.

"Disgusting! Get that away!"

Aegifura shrieked and impatiently pushed it away:

"You want to fool me with this peripheral stuff? I have absolutely no interest in ranking up! If it weren’t for you guys provoking me time and again, knowing that I can’t win, I wouldn’t bother training!"

"Alright, alright, Miss Distinguished Aegifura, you’re right on everything."

Ye Hanjun put the shed skin away, his mind racing.

No matter what, Aegifura was willing to rank up, which was a good sign of breaking through the stalemate.

Illusion System spiritual medicine might be hard to find, but Illusion System contracted fond spirit’s essence blood is not. In addition to the Heaven and Earth Stage Jade Devil Dragon, there are some options at the Annihilation Rank.

"Dragon hunting?"

Ye Liuying never got involved in the conflicts between Ye Hanjun and the Contracted Fond Spirits, she just watched with an amused expression.

Seeing the end of the commotion, she approached them, her dazzling eyes whirling, already locking onto five or six demon dragons that meet the requirements.

"We’ll have to go to a larger Demon Lake..."

"But the demon dragons there seldom act alone. They usually move in groups, making it easy to fall into a melee..."

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, ready for a bloody battle.
