The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 301 - 161: The Fallen Ten Talents, Once a Legend _1

"Whoosh~~~"

With a flicker of goose-yellow light, Ye Hanjun’s figure stood amidst the roaring sand and wildly dancing wind.

In the astonishing phenomenon, the Sandstorm Witch emerged.

She floated ten meters above the ground, suspended in mid-air.

Her long, straight legs were really as white and translucent as lotus roots.

Looking upward, her white Witch’s Skirt was unstained by dust. The edges of her sleeves and neckline, bordered by golden threads, exuded an aura of elegance and nobility.

But these... were just accompanying features!

When Flame Thief, Gu, Hu Dai, and Razzberr saw Huazhu’s face clearly, all of them were dumbfounded for a moment.

Although she still had a bit of childish immaturity that she hadn’t completely shed.

Those golden pupils, resembling two natural gemstones, sparkled brilliantly, showcasing a dazzling spectacle.

"Is this... a Witch?!"

Gu, riding atop the Big Serpent Vine, was quite taken aback as he stammered out his query.

Hu Dai and Razzberr weren’t any better off, either.

This sudden shock had caused them to react a beat late, creating a flaw in their original encirclement.

"Hoo——"

A square yellow formation appeared in front of Huazhu, seven meters wide and equally as long.

The hazy light glowing along the edge of the formation reached its peak richness after two seconds of brewing.

"Hiss!!!"

A huge yellow python emerged out of thin air and coiled at Huazhu’s feet, looking like an obedient kitten.

However, when it lunged forward in an attack, it bared its teeth and looked terrifyingly ferocious.

"Roar!!!"

The Red Flame Tiger spewed out its fire nonstop, turning the Sand Snake red from head to toe in a blink of an eye.

As an elemental summon, the Sand Snake had no Spirit Wisdom and couldn’t feel any pain.

Because the element it resided in was ’sand,’ which was compatible with ’fire,’ the lethality of fire spells would automatically be reduced for it.

The Sand Snake continued to lunge forward. Its tail swung horizontally, reminiscent of raging waves crashing into a dam, smacking against the Red Flame Tiger’s waist.

"Roar!!!"

The Red Flame Tiger extinguished the flames in its mouth and pounced out, slapping out a ’Flame Palm.’

This was a physical skill overlaid with fire element. The Tiger’s paw was heavy, the blaze fervently hot.

Even against a robust wild beast, it would leave a charred palm mark, creating a severe shock to the organs.

"Hiss hiss!"

The Sand Snake’s front half contorted, the structure of its elemental body was compromised.

But... the Sand Snake was never meant to fight alone!

It was just a summoned creature, with its main value being to draw fire. Nothing else mattered.

"Swish swish swish——"

Huazhu blinked. She had already perfected the ’Wind Escape’ skill. With just a thought, she was already on Red Flame Tiger’s back.

"So you are the Sandstorm Witch... you are the famously renowned rookie mentor of the Canghai Pavilion..."

Flame Thief’s voice was cold and distant, his gaze growing colder.

It turned out he knew Huazhu’s racial name too.

At this stage, most students may have heard that Master Han successfully cultivated a witch. Still, those who could immediately call out her specific name...were very few.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh~~~"

Clusters of different-colored fire sprang to life from within Flame Thief, one by one.

They were like floating lanterns, deep red, orange, snow white, green, and azure blue... Some stood still, others swaying gently.

The biggest ones were as large as a washbasin, while the smallest were only about the size of a fingernail.

The subtly lit corridor suddenly became dazzingly colorful.

"Whoosh——"

Huazhu had undoubtedly raised a ’Roaring Tail Sting,’ but abruptly interrupted her casting and retreated instead.

"Roar!"

The Red Flame Tiger roared, smashing the head of Sand Snake with a swipe of its paw. It swiftly turned around, facing Huazhu with its monstrous jaws wide open.

One could see dozens of flames float about, enveloping Flame Thief.

The fire in the Red Flame Tiger’s eyes became even hotter, reflecting a more ferocious light in its pupils.

Passive Ability—’Origin of Heterogenous Fire!’

This was the core ability of the D-rank profession ’Flame Thief.’ He could refine the deceased fire spirits and had a chance to extract ’Fire Seeds’ from them.

The presence of these ’Fire Seeds’ ensured that the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits could cast spells to the best of their abilities without much concern for anything else.

These were also a natural enhancement aura. As long as they were near these Fire Seeds, the flame elemental Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits could gain minor enhancement.

"Not bad. You have thirty-seven kinds of flames—you must have killed hundreds of fire spirits to nurture all these Fire Seeds."

"It’s just a pity that there’s no real Heterogenous Fire. The power enhancement is ultimately limited with such quantity..."

Ye Hanjun was standing in the middle of the corridor, Muscle Zombie protecting him from both the Flashing Leopard and Big Serpent Vine’s attacks.

From his words, Flame Thief’s crimson eyes flickered for a moment, he muttered in an almost inaudible whisper:

"You know so much..."

"Now I understand why, in a short span of three months, you’ve garnered such a big reputation in Canghai Pavilion..."

"But do you know that being too smart and prying into others’ business too much can bring massive trouble upon yourself?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"

All the floating Fire Seeds coalesced towards Flame Thief’s palm.

Even the Red Flame Tiger, as its fur’s fire dwindled considerably, seemed to harbor a dreadful fiery red flame deep within its body, trying to break free.

At that moment, the surrounding area became ominously silent.

Renwo Kuang, despite his strength, looked grim.

His throbbing temples repeatedly warned him about the incoming, devastating crisis of death that was virtually impossible to resist.

"Ultimate Flame?"

Ye Hanjun smirked, "Because you know more about Renwo Kuang than most people do. And deep down, you are also admirably empathetic and compassionate."

"In addition to your profession, I’ve deduced and suspected who you might be upon further highlight. Is there a problem with that?"
