The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 220 - 139: The 2nd Rank, Ascending Rainbow Light!_2

GuaGua was a bit worried, as Little Black Hat seemed to have been bitten fiercely by a mosquito, puffing up two little lumps on his chest.

What should they do?

GuaGua spat out some water, trying to get closer as a form of greeting.

Huazhu tilted her head and deftly avoided him.

She had just ascended to the Rainbow Light Fetus, and she did not want to be suddenly turned into a drenched witch, which would be rather lacking in cermonial decorum.

"Yiye~~~"

The little tadpole did not care, and forcefully made his approach.

It successfully jumped onto Little Black Hat’s hair and slid down as if it were a slide.

Just before it hit the ground, it blew up a bubble, making itself float again.

"Stop messing around."

Ye Hanjun pretended as if he was about to pop the bubble.

The little tadpole wanted to continue playing outside and quickly dodged away.

It wanted to avoid being caught by the bigger tadpole and sealed in a water bottle again.

It controlled the bubble to rise higher and finally hung at a position three meters above the head.

The two little eyes blinked as it scrutinized the scene below, looking rather adorable.

"It seems that because of me, the repression you’re undergoing is much heavier than that of a normal Fond Spirit."

Ye Hanjun temporarily ignored GuaGua, focusing entirely on the Sandstorm Witch.

The ascension from Clay Body to Rainbow Light Fetus did not involve any physical evolution, instead it felt like a transition stage between smaller ranks.

Huazhu had grown a bit, like a demi-human girl wielding scissor pincers and curling a scorpion’s tail. She definitely had noble lineage and was not a lowly individual.

"Talent Identification!"

Ye Hanjun activated his active ability.

"I feel... I have an inexhaustible amount of Witch Power in my body, much more than several times when I was in the Clay Body."

"Well, that’s natural." Ye Hanjun affirmed:

"Even if other Fond Spirits reach the pinnacle of Perfection in their Clay Bodies, they cannot ascend because their Patron has not broken through the rank. Once the repressive state is removed, they naturally promote to the Realm of Rainbow Light Virtual Intro."

"But you, I reckon it’s because the metamorphosis ceremony absorbed too much energy, along with the subsequent cultivation and growth."

"The life energy you’ve accumulated is too much, and you’ve actually jumped straight to the realm of Rainbow Light - a small achievement. This is a rare leapfrog phenomenon."

Ye Hanjun wore a smile, and his words overflowed with joy.

With each level a Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit advances, it means that it will have stronger combat power at the same rank.

Especially for Huazhu, who inherently possesses the ability to fight above her level. Her stage of small achievement in Rainbow Light, presumably, allows her to compete with some mediocre performers in the state of Great Completion of Rainbow Light, or even ... to kill them!

"But, some skills seem to have become unusable."

"They’re the outcomes of repeated practice and continuous integration. It was quite difficult to be able to wield them at will. After the ascension, I suddenly lost them... "

Huazhu expressed some regret.

Although Ye Hanjun had discussed this topic with her a long time ago.

When faced with reality, it was still hard to adapt.

Ascension, for any Fond Spirit, was an insurmountable threshold that needed to be crossed again and again in order to ascend to the highest level of power.

Compared to the challenge of transitioning from Rainbow Light to Jade Infant, which required passing a major threshold such as evolution.

The Ascension from Clay Body to Rainbow Light had much lower difficulty.

However, there were some things that couldn’t be avoided. They could be ingrained in one’s soul and bloodline from the start, blamed on luck, or chalked up to acquired opportunities.

Especially for the "Chaos Spirit Pattern", these could not be forced.

After ascending, Huazhu had forgotten "Gather Sand into Fist" and "Gather Wind into Claw".

Even the 100-pattern technique "Mad Sand Dance" had disappeared silently.

The loss of the first two skills was not too bad.

Though they were also strong and served as Huazhu’s main methods of attack.

As long as there were alternate attacking skills, there was no need to worry.

But for "Mad Sand Dance," it was quite a pity.

An exceptional and peerless technique was a terrifying existence that defied the law/principle. After ascending, it was very difficult to maintain at the same height.

However, what Ye Hanjun didn’t expect was that this skill not only didn’t weaken, but it was completely erased.

Regardless of whether Huazhu could recall the feeling when she first used it, it was impossible for her to use it again.

"With gain comes loss, I can understand."

Huazhu slowly came to terms and accepted this change in herself.

Ye Hanjun let go of his minor pity and reassured her with a smile:

"It’s not all bad."

"An exceptional and peerless technique already considered a rarity among countless souls. The fact that you had it as a Clay Body, in a way, is a testament to the boundless potential of your bloodline."

"Just thinking about this point makes me look forward to whether or not you have a natural path of evolution."

"If so, once you ascend to the Jade Infant Fetus, what new life form will you transform into from being a ’Sandstorm Witch’?"

Huazhu remained silent, but her eyes seemed to shine with a hint of longing.

Ye Hanjun chuckled and returned to the present, continuing his introduction:

"For the Rainbow Light Fetus, the maximum strength of a skill is three hundred Chaos Spirit Patterns."

"According to the results of my Talent Identification ability, ’Hurricane Scissors’ and ’Roaring Tail Sting’ both have corresponding increases. The strength after their ascension remains at a mid-level within the realm of Rainbow Light Fetus."

"As for ’Double Heavenly Sand Shield,’ it’s obviously an upgraded version of ’Heavenly Sand Shield’."
