The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 203 - 135: Assistant Han, Dare to Battle with Me? (6400 words) _1

Finally, the last 12 contestants ascended to the stage.

Wang Xinfei was among them.

Her condition had secretly reversed overnight; a few hints of color had returned to her icy jade-like face, a far cry from her exhausted and lethargic look after a long battle yesterday.

The moment she stood still in the competition area, Ye Shan, who was well prepared on the eastern grandstand, stood up.

He wore a rich red cloak, holding aloft a 15-meter flag, waving it back and forth, loudly cheering, "Go Miss Xinfei".

On the front of the flag was a large, boldly painted "Fei".

On the back was a leaping steed, looking majestic and imposing.

After loudly shouting three times, he felt the surrounding was too quiet.

Ye Shan turned around abruptly, glaring at the people around him and said:

"Aren’t you going to cheer with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes ..."

The hundreds of students from the commoner class looked at each other with awkward and helpless expressions on their faces.

While Ye Shan had prepared a handsome red cloak for himself, he had provided them with pink battle skirts. The delicate design, the sparkling material, and the unique color were clearly designed for women, not for men.

Of these hundred or so people, there were only two or three dozen female students, the majority were males.

A group of men, wearing such bizarre and even flamboyant clothes, could attract numerous strange glances just by sitting there.

When they all stood up with Ye Shan, all shouting in unison, "Go Miss Xinfei", "Miss Xinfei will win", their loud voices echoed throughout the venue, attracting the attention of almost everyone.

"Hahaha, I’m going to die laughing, who came up with this terrible idea? These clothes are too funny!"

"Look, they even have a team emblem on their backs, a golden red ’Fei’, is this the legendary cheerleading squad?"

"They even signed a contract, embarrassing themselves all the way to their mentor, how embarrassing..."

Yesterday, anyone who took part in the bet now wore a look of shame, doing their best to hide their faces.

The few Contracted Spirits summoned around them looked at this group of bizarrely-dressed bipedal beast masters, all puzzled and stunned.

"I give up...."

On the battlefield, Wang Xinfei, with twitching corners of her eyes, was feeling frustrated.

A few fly-like nuisances had stirred up such waves that everyone in the venue was talking about it.

She had never expected such a thing to be possible, it felt like "sitting at home while a pot lands on your head from the sky".

"Miss Xinfei, you have many fans and are very popular."

"But I won’t hold back, please be prepared."

The competitor named Zhang Cheng Ping on the other side bowed with a fist.

He was a ’Knight’, with an E-level ability.

To trigger the resonance rules, this kind of job required doing as many righteous deeds as possible, acts that were beneficial to the people and true to one’s heart.

The Contracted Spirit beside him was also a unique individual in the academy.

It had the silhouette of a human, hands, feet, torso, head... everything was intact.

But its torso was like a round piece of wood, flattened at both ends.

Its limbs, whether hands or feet, were of the same length, which looked quite strange.

The head was like a wooden dumpling, with green hair like hanging vines, the body covered in brown tree-like textures, much like a thriving hill tree in the natural world.

This was the ’Wooden Man’.

Belonging to the ’Ya’ emblem, it’s a rare Subhuman Race in the Giant Frog Marsh.

"No need to hold back, we’ll rely on our ability."

Wang Xinfei responded rudely, her frown not easing at all.

Upon hearing Hu Taotao’s instructions to start the competition, she mounted her armored horse, and charged at Zhang Chengping, enhanced by ’Brute Force’ and ’Iron Armor Charge’.

"Wood....wood...."

Zhang Chengping didn’t move, but squatted down instead.

The Wooden Man, like it was on stilts, moved in front of him.

Then, with a stomp of its two wooden legs, tender green buds spread out, burying themselves in the ground.

With a thud, the charging armored horse slammed into the Wooden Man.

The Wooden Man, with its feet planted in the ground, only swayed slightly, standing firm.

"Whinny!"

The armored horse pawed the ground, fiercely aiming a kick at the Wooden Man’s chest, trying to topple it over.

The Wooden Man used its arms as a shield, blocking their way, effortlessly taking the kick without budging an inch.

"Whoosh——"

Vines on its head whipped like a bullwhip, striking Wang Xinfei’s armor with force.

Despite not breaking the armor, Wang Xinfei still winced in pain, moaning, and looking even more serious.

"Whinny!"

The armored horse retreated, adjusted its angle and charged again.

Zhang Chengping suddenly stood up, his foot as if stepping on a cloud, appearing behind the Wooden Man in a floating manner. With the Wooden Man once again blocking, Zhang Chengping was safe and sound.

"It’s over, she’s met her match!"

"Against Xu Xiaozhu, the wild boar knight, she barely won after a desperate fight."

"But this Zhang Chengping, who’s expected to make it to the top five, has ’Misty’ as a passive ability, making him quite elusive."

"He also has an active ability ’Floating Clouds Steps’, which enhances his dodging ability when activated."

"And when he finds the opportunity to activate another active ability ’Stacking Skill’, it can further boost the Wooden Man’s attack."

"The Wooden Man itself, specializes in defense, recovery, and control, having multiple advantages."
