The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 221 - 139: The 2nd Rank, Ascending Rainbow Light!_3

"However, it was originally a rank 1 extreme skill. After enhancement, it’s just near the limit, slightly reduced."

"The others, ’Wind Escape,’ ’Summon · Sand Snake,’ ’Hurricane Sand Hammer,’ these three race skills seem to belong to the line of the Sand Storm."

"They all hold high chaos spirit patterns. Referring to the names, your upcoming attack mode may greatly change."

"Hu—"

With a thought, just a breeze brushed past his cheeks, and Huazhu moved horizontally five meters, appearing behind Ye Hanjun.

After a delay of nearly ten seconds, an incredibly strong wind suddenly rose, and Huazhu disappeared from the spot, appearing fifty meters away in an instant.

"Is this Wind Escape?" Huazhu contemplated, "Compared to me controlling the wind element to move, the speed has multiplied several times, almost reaching the effect of teleportation."

"Is it costly?" Ye Hanjun asked a key question.

"It’s not a skill that can be used freely. The consumption is not small, but it’s not particularly large either." Huazhu pondered and replied.

Ye Hanjun gently nodded. It seemed that after ascending, Huazhu would be more suitable as a quick-attacking Fond Spirit.

"Yiye?"

The little tadpole tilted his head.

With a whoosh, the Little Black Hat appeared on the left, and with another whoosh, the Little Black Hat appeared on the right. It was really interesting.

Probably being stimulated, the little guy glanced at his own bubble and tried to control it.

He wanted to rush at the Little Black Hat at the fastest speed and also try this "whoosh".

As anticipated... he was unsuccessful!

Even if he had mastered the ’Floating Bubble’ to the level of arm wielding, GuaGua couldn’t achieve the same speed.

Seeing that the Little Black Hat was still playing merrily with his "whoosh" actions, it made GuaGua anxious. His small eyes widened as he tried to see the specific actions of the Little Black Hat.

Then... he became motionless, falling into a peculiar meditative state.

"His spirit was stimulated again?"

Ye Hanjun’s left brow suddenly raised, his gaze involuntarily fell on the little guy.

His attention was completely focused on Huazhu. He honestly did not expect the little guy to be so interested in the ’Wind Escape’ skill.

This should be a good thing, right?

Just unsure of what kind of skill he might comprehend...

He stopped experimenting with the skills and patiently waited for nearly a minute.

GuaGua suddenly awakened and sprayed a very robust water gun from his mouth. His small body flew out in the opposite direction like a bullet.

This stupefied Ye Hanjun.

According to the Talent Identification result, this was a skill of up to 85 patterns, named the ’Reaction Force Water Cannon.’

This skill was obviously not for attack; by maintaining the skill, the little guy was rapidly propelled thirty meters.

Though he couldn’t match the near-instant teleportation of Huazhu, he was just a Mud-cast fetus, to begin with.

And, as a tadpole that lives in the water, not only did he want to fly to the sky but also sought to increase his flying speed. This...

Ye Hanjun raised his thumb, praising GuaGua right away.

But the little guy had gone wild with the fun.

He aimed at the Little Black Hat with his tail and hurriedly buzzed around using the Reaction Force Water Cannon. He certainly didn’t consider what the big tadpole might think.

"Whoosh—"

Normally calm, Huazhu also started playing along.

If GuaGua wanted to hit her, she wouldn’t block it, but she also wouldn’t give the chance for a successful hit.

Often just before the collision, she would just dodge gracefully, escaping like a ghost.

GuaGua didn’t accept defeat and tried harder to increase the pressure of the water gun.

Ye Hanjun noticed that his control of the ’Reaction Force Water Cannon’ was becoming more skillful.

From initially moving only in a straight line, he gradually could adjust his angle, suddenly performing a "tadpole drift in the air."

However, Huazhu was also an expert at exploring skills. The familiarity with ’Wind Escape’ shot up straight away.

She also had the advantage of her levels—GuaGua didn’t stand a chance to touch her body again.

"Yiye!!"

The comedy continued for five minutes.

Unable to hit the Little Black Hat all this while, GuaGua didn’t seem discouraged or unhappy.

But he was full of tricks. Suddenly, he didn’t want to chase Huazhu anymore and aimed to bump into Ye Hanjun instead.

Ye Hanjun didn’t dodge, allowing it to crash into his shoulder.

Surprisingly, the sudden impact was quite strong. Ye Hanjun had to take three steps back to dispel the momentum.

"Yiye..."

Reaching out, he covered the little tadpole with his hand, which finally made the mischievous creature quiet down.

Ye Hanjun pointed at the water bottle, posing a "threat".

Sensing that it would likely become sealed if it continued acting mischievously, GuaGua stopped spraying water, quickly spat out a bubble, and obediently continued to watch Little Black Hat’s performance.

"Buzz Buzz Buzz——"

A yellow-brown square formation appeared in front of Huazhu, with a length and width of five meters each.

The faint glow lit up the border of the formation. Brewed for three seconds, the glow reached its peak.

"Hiss... "

An enormous python coiled up and appeared, its entire body yellowish-brown, without any foreign coloring.

It was clearly an elemental creature summoned via magic, once Huazhu cancels the supply of Witch Power, it would disappear.

But this ’Sand Snake’ was not an illusion, it was substantial.

Its attack and the swing of its tail made an impressive sound, and it could even shatter a rock if one were placed in front of it.

"Summoning type Magic Skills are the most interesting..."

Ye Hanjun was very fond of this skill.

After testing, the Sand Snake did not possess any intelligence on its own.

However, the methods of controlling it were diverse. Huazhu could guide its movement, lock onto a target and pursue it constantly.

It could also enclose a small area and hunt indiscriminately within.

If necessary, the control could also be taken back from the semi-autonomous state to collaborate with Huazhu, biting, constricting, or tail-whipping to achieve different effects.

After thorough exploration...

Ye Hanjun further confirmed that, with Huazhu’s current ranks, the 280-runes Sand Snake had the potential to go toe-to-toe with an ordinary Rainbow Light Minor Achievement for quite some time.

Despite some drawbacks, such as the excessive consumption, long cooldowns, and being unable to simultaneously summon two Sand Snakes.

Having this summon skill multiplied the possible combinations for exploration, trap detection, fire attraction, snake body shield...

"Yiye..."

The little tadpole also showed interest in this skill.

The big snake had a tail, and it too had a tail, albeit with a great size difference.

Subconsciously, it began mimicking some of the actions.

But after trying for a while, GuaGua was unable to flick out a long tongue or to flap its tail with a snapping sound like a whip.

Ye Hanjun, who was watching from the side, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

If one day, the little creature could use its tail to split a rock, that would certainly be an astonishing scene, shocking many people.

After a while, Ye Hanjun reminded:

"Today, GuaGua already activated its Spirits, it’s unlikely to trigger it again."

"Huazhu, I’ll keep an eye on it, you continue exploring your skills."

"Okay." The Sandstorm Witch nodded.

’Double Heavenly Sand Shield’ was easy to test as two shields appeared at the same time, and could be superimposed or separately guard two positions.

With this skill, the weak point of the witch’s frail body was greatly weakened.

Including Ye Hanjun, his security would also improve greatly.

"Boom!!!"

’Hurricane Scissors’ and ’Roaring Tail Sting’ were both close combat skills. Combined with the powerful teleportation effect of ’Wind Escape’, Huazhu could indeed play the role of a pure agile Fond Spirit, swiftly carrying out assassinations.

But this was not very safe, at this time, the most powerful attack skill ’Hurricane Sand Hammer’ became useful.

This was a hammer formed by the condensation of wind and sand elements. It was even larger than Huazhu’s body after it was summoned.

It didn’t need to be held in hand, and could hover around Huazhu according to its thoughts.

Through examination, the Hurricane Sand Hammer had two attack modes.

One was to use it as a continuous elemental weapon for attack or defense after summoning.

The other was to detonate the inherent elemental power as soon as it was summoned.

This was an extremely devastating hammer attack that could destroy a large area in front, its tremendous power absolutely possessing the ability to battle out of its league.
