The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 397 - 191: Establishing Authority_3

Gou Mei stood still, ignoring everything around her. Her entire being seemed vacant.

She tiptoed, her hands cradled in the air as if holding the sky, her overly rosy cheeks in stark contrast as her mouth gradually widened. The sound emerging from her throat grew increasingly loud and clear.

Zhong Yi, Sun Xiu, Mu Fei... their companions from Forest Park, found this sight a common occurrence.

They did not use earplugs nor did they use any special techniques to shut off their eardrums.

Because The Madness Singer along with her Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, the Three-In-One Clamoring Toad were capable of directing the waves of sound unless in her most excited and invested state. They could avoid allies and only target enemies.

"Bang! Booming!!"

Dizziness overwhelmed them, blood trickling from their seven senses.

Several senior students from Tianyafu Residence, who managed to escape 500 meters away, were still hit by the mighty waves of noise.

They were forced to activate the Escape Talisman until a bronze-colored barrier was erected. Only then did their convulsing, twisted features slowly calm down.

"It’s over. We can’t hold it off..."

"Forest Park actually unleashed a thunderous assault, intending to knock out Tianyafu Residence from the start..."

"Brother Bi! Brother Dai! We’ve got to know when to fold them, aren’t we better off running away? Let’s surrender the fort, we can take it back later, we can’t take this rampaging attack."

...

The cries of despair grew weaker and weaker.

Under intense scrutiny, The students from Tianyafu Residence defending the azure fort fell one by one.

Mid-battle, Green Sword Cloud, with the intensive escape effort from the Sleeping Bag Rat, managed to escape along with two heavily injured comrades. The remaining fourteen students could only use the Escape Talisman for self-preservation.

"Lilith, you take care of the aftermath."

Zhong Yi said briefly, walking straight into the fortress.

Lilith, stood where she was, smiling lightly.

She moved around the team with her Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, the Cream Eel.

The Voracious Gopher of Gan Xinyi and the Wild Running Barbarian Sheep of Sun Xiu...

Even seemingly fatal injuries that bared the bone and continued to bleed profusely could be easily healed in Lilith’s hands, with a few skills from the Cream Eel. The utmost cases could be solved by just using the Active Ability Dispel and Active Ability: Great Healing Skill.

"To use a ’Priest’ as support... None of Forest Park’s team members were eliminated..."

"They are too abnormal. They charge in like a thunderstorm, and when it’s over, they recover almost fully. Do you think they will take this opportunity to also launch a surprise attack on Yan Weilou or Beacon Tower?"

Outside, the noises didn’t cease.

The audience, as expected, liked to make a fuss, and made blind guesses or started discussions about the events.

Still... in the seating area of the Tianyafu Residence, even the most patient mentors were colder than ice.

Those with the worst temperament were like angry lions, their eyes flickering danger with every blink.

"So they used our academy to make a show of strength?"

"After this battle, Tianyafu Residence has suffered great losses. Half of our participating students are gone. Whether the lucky survivors such as Green Sword Cloud will be able to recover from their injuries in just a few days and return to their peak strength is uncertain. Theoratically, they have no chance of stirring up any more waves..."

The low growls and glaring looks only received a sigh from Qingyi in return.

"What can we do when we’re not their match?"

"Jie Shu, go with them to take care of the wounded. I see several of them critically injured. Try not to let them suffer any long term effects."

"Yes."

Jie Shu got up and walked towards a building.

However, before she could reach the treatment area, she paused.

The boisterous crowd was still engrossed in the excitement of witnessing Forest Park’s surprise attack on Tianyafu Residence and the ensuing victory.

But something was strange. Besides the fourteen defeated students from Tianyafu Residence, weren’t there too many students from Yan Weilou that were being transferred out?

At this moment, weren’t the main forces of the other academies still stationed in the fort? Where did all the casualties come from?

Jie Shu turned back to look at the Viewing Flower again.

She looked from left to right, and again, three times in all. But she simply couldn’t shed off the confusion in her eyes.
