The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 376 - 184: Battle of the Mentors, Ye Hanjun takes the stage! _2

But that noble aura on her, even if concealed by withered grass and desolate trees, could not be truly hidden.

"Whoosh!!!"

The wild wind rose, and the yellow sand began to dance.

The Sandstorm Witch, Huazhu, who had grown to a height of 1.6 meters, stood silently in front of Ye Hanjun.

Her beauty was unparalleled, far beyond common women.

Her pair of giant pincers was large and ferocious, their sharp edges gleaming with endless cold light. It was a terrible thought to imagine the mark they would leave on flesh and blood.

Further down, her jade-like legs were plump and straight, as if they could squeeze out water with just a twist.

Those petite jade feet were quite adorable, as if they were naturally crafted works of art. They were exquisite, pure white, bare on the ground, untarnished by dirt, dust-free, fully exhibiting their natural and aesthetic charm.

"Hm?!"

Ji Yan, Elder Xu, Elder Shan, Zhao Dong, and Wang Yuan, the five mentors affiliated with the Canghai Pavilion, all widened their eyes at the same time.

It was as if lightning had streaked across their gaze. After their shock subsided slightly, they stammered, some with mouths hanging open, others licking their lips. Eventually, they stared intensely at Ye Hanjun, as if trying to see through his figure to his very insides.

"What the heck?"

"What the heck, what the heck, what the heck???"

Huo Xin exaggeratedly jumped back a step, almost crashing into Yan Xuehui.

In the past, Yan Xuehui would have pushed him away with a palm strike.

However, at this moment, she just stepped aside, not bothering to deal with the capricious Huo Xin.

"Such a refined element of power..."

"The wind and sand circling her body, even from a kilometer away, her natural life force imposes such immense pressure on us"

Her beautiful eyes focused on the Sandstorm Witch.

Yan Xuehui pursed her rosy lips, opened them, and after repeating this three times, whispered "Master Han, you’ve hidden your power well..."

"His Contracted Spirit has reached the perfection of the Rainbow Light in the blink of an eye, and is now on par with us?"

"No, that can’t be possible right?"

A visitor of the Canghai Pavilion stuttered, "According to the intelligence, Master Han should’ve ascended to the second-tier, right around the time of the freshmen competition."

"How long has it been? Three months? Four months?"

"I understand how the witch can advance once, even twice considering Master Han’s abilities."

"But... advancing three times, ascending to the Rainbow Light, aiming for the Jade Infant... this, this, this is too unreal, there must be something wrong with my perspective!"

Tan Ziping, who looked utterly confused, forcefully shook his head.

Zhuang Wenyao, who was standing next to him, shared the same uncertainty. The two exchanged glances, chilly shivers running down their backs.

"A Mutant Witch at the pinnacle of the Rainbow Light..."

"Without making a sound, Master Han has reached this realm?"

If one took a moment to recall, one could remember that Renwo Kuang, who was best at breaking through his own limits, had once lost to Master Han and then became his direct disciple.

Now, the Witch has once again ascended to the peak, and Master Han is far stronger than the weakling he initially seemed to be.

If these two teamed up, even if all of Canghai Pavilion’s Ten Heavenly Proud Sons and Tianyafu Residence’s Eight Battleaxes gathered, who would dare to beat their chest confidently, assuring that they would certainly not lose?

"Smart lad..."

Luo Ye narrowed his eyes, his wrinkle-filled face showing complete seriousness.

The Witch’s aura... was too dominant!

Among those who’d achieved perfection within the Rainbow Light range, very few possessed such a terrifying presence!

Even the previous Sleeping Bag Rat, Terrifying Wolf Sparrow, and Minotaur... didn’t possess such coercive power!

"Master Luo, please."

Ye Hanjun wore an indifferent smile, observing all due courtesies.

"Whoosh—"

Luo Ye summoned his Contracted Spirit.

It was a seven-meter-long centipede, clad in a layer of dark red carapace, with its front legs sharp as daggers. It had at least twenty pairs of appendages on its sides.

A fond spirit of the insect variety - Ten-legged Centipede!

This type of insect was neither common nor rare, yet its battle power within the same rank was quite high.

The remarkable point was that it had a natural path of ascending evolution, which could develop into a ’Hundred-legged Centipede’ or even a ’Thousand-legged Centipede’. Its potential in the later stages was quite astonishing.

"Hiss!!"

The Ten-legged Centipede hissed loudly, its dark purple eyes filled with fierce light.

Ye Hanjun glanced at it and determined that this creature had already reached the pinnacle of the Rainbow Light.

If it were not for Luo Ye’s rank lingering and not promoting, it would’ve evolved into a Hundred-legged Centipede, then soared to reach the level of the Jade Infant with ease.

"Tailor-made!"

With a deep and suppressed shout, Luo Ye targeted the Ten-legged Centipede with both hands. A light mist suddenly appeared from the palms of his hands.

The mist enveloped the Ten-legged Centipede, and disappeared after three seconds.

Under everyone’s scrutiny, on the twenty-odd pairs of appendages of the large centipede, there emerged fabric-like, leather-like wraps, their outlines extremely fitting to the appendages. It did not hinder the centipede’s movement at all.

In fact... attentive observers would recognize that after these alien objects had appeared, the centipede’s crawling speed increased once again. The overall momentum improved significantly, becoming more sinister, and more dangerous.

"Master Luo is a rare ’Old Shoemaker’ with D-level ability."

"Indeed, don’t assume it’s an ordinary, life-related ability. The Old Shoemaker has a passive ability called ’aging’, which, even though it has aged his appearance, has bestowed longevity upon him. His life span is at least 1.5 times that of the same tier Patrons. Absolutely enviable."
