The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 184 - 130: D-Level Authority · Poisonous Tongue! (6000 words)_2

The audience roared suddenly and unexpectedly.

Wang Xinfei, the descendant of the distinguished Wang Family in the Blue Frog Kingdom and the most beloved daughter of Wang Qiusong, the family’s head.

Her background can be said to surpass 99% of the nobility in the academy.

Not to mention, on the southern side of the 6th arena, a red-haired girl in a plain black armor holding a long spear, followed by a robust armored horse.

Her stern face was as delicate as a painting, so exceptionally charming.

Wang Xinfei - just standing there was like a breathtaking view amongst the crowd!

"The Four Ghosts Mercenary Group deserves to die for daring to make a move on our Miss Xinfei. Death by a thousand cuts could even be considered a merciful punishment."

Right beside Ye Hanjun, some thirty meters away, a lavishly dressed man fan in hand grumbling angrily.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Another gentleman quickly agreed:

"For famous noble sons like us, we have to be extra careful in such a dangerous place outside of the academy, don’t we need to prioritize safety?"

"Yes, despite our insistence at the time, Miss Xinfei didn’t listen and nearly had a major casualty."

The third gentleman let out a light sigh and then smirked:

"Thankfully, that ’Ghost Hand’ leader of the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group was hanged at the city gates by Master Ji, turned from a recognizable corpse into an indescribable decaying mess. Ha, served him right!"

...

Wang Xinfei’s lackeys, were not just a few.

Their intentions might not be pure, most of them merely wanting to cling on for their personal gains, hoping to get closer to her, take the opportunity to kowtow.

But superficially, their united behaviour gave Ye Hanjun plenty to laugh about.

Of course, while there were many idiots, many were clear-headed too.

Some civilian students disagreed with this pack, responding with a retort, confidently relying on their advantage of numbers:

"We won’t comment on the assassination attempt on Wang Xinfei."

"However, her armored horse has only reached Great Completion in Clay Body, and even though she has a D-level Ability, trying to rank amongst the top 36... is it really that easy?"

"Really, D-level Ability is strong, and every holder can become a key figure in the Canghai Pavilion."

"But those Patron who have been around for nearly a year have experienced more trials, and as long as they possess a combat Ability and their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits reaching Perfection in Clay Body, the advantage that ’Horse Racing Knight’ gave Wang Xinfei diminishes significantly."

"Exactly!"

A female student who dislikes Wang Xinfei sneered:

"In the previous tournament, it was said to be a fair competition."

"In the end, didn’t the person competing against Wang Xinfei intentionally go easy on her?"

"I admit, Wang Xinfei has strong Abilities and a quality Spirit, but..."

"She has barely set foot in the wilderness. If she encounters a senior who has mastered survival skills, not only could she easily lose, she could even be humiliated and be unable to recover!"

"Tsk..."

Several gentlemen felt helpless being surrounded by the crowd and felt weak.

However, they could not back down and immediately bet more than a dozen bags of Spirit Stones, aggressively saying:

"So...shall we place a bet?"

"We support Miss Xinfei unconditionally, and she will definitely break into the top 36!"

"Don’t bet against us with Spirit Stones, we don’t want to embarrass you if you can’t afford it."

"Look, we have this piece of paper. Those who disagree come sign your names on it."

"If Miss Xinfei does not make it into the top 36, these Spirit Stones will be evenly distributed to all who have signed."

"If Miss Xinfei does make it into the top 36, those who signed will, one by one, cheer for her till the end of the competition, and unconditionally support Miss Xinfei...deal?"

With that, Ye Shan, a well-dressed gentleman who was filled with airs, stomped on a chair, squinting at the surrounding crowd.

People were looking at each other. It became quiet for a few seconds.

Suddenly, a troublemaker stepped forward, grabbed the paper and pen, and boldly signed his name.

"I’ve seen arrogant people, but never one who gives away money!"

"What’s there to be afraid of betting? At most, it’s just losing face. If we can make you suffer for a few days, that’s a win for us!"

"Makes sense!"

The second person agreed and signed his name.

Followed by the third, the fourth, the fifth...

Before the official start of the competition, a small part of the audience was already in chaos.

Ye Shan hadn’t expected that such a large piece of paper wouldn’t be enough for everyone to sign, and there were still people who wanted to continue signing but couldn’t due to the lack of space.

"Humph! We only have this many Spirit Stones! It doesn’t matter how many people there are, it won’t make a difference to us!"

A little uneasy, Ye Shan collected the paper and pen and kept it safely with him.

"Competitions from Group 1 to 20, start now!"

Glancing at the chaotic audience, Hu Taotao decided not to intervene. With her command, the atmosphere suddenly surged to a new climax as the betting faded into the background.

"Come on, Han Bangchui! Beat his ass!"

"Sister! You can lose the game, but you cannot lose your respect. Give it your all!"

"Look at Area No. 11! Their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits are actually the same species and their abilities are the same too, it’s ridiculous!"

...

Excitement was born from the crowd.
