“You scoundrel!”
“How could my Jiang Family give birth to such a foolish descendant like you!”
Inside the Jiang Family courtyard in Northern Sichuan, Jiang Wen, the head of the Jiang Family, slapped the table, making a loud ‘thwack’ sound, so angry he nearly fainted.
He pointed at Lili, who was kneeling below him, and furiously said:
“That was an SSR!
You just let it go like that?
And let the Mo Family pick up the slack!”
Lili cried, her face covered in snot and tears, and said with a wronged expression:
“Dad, how was I supposed to know that an R card could turn into an SSR after being contracted?!”
She leaned forward, grabbing Jiang Wen’s pant leg and pleading, “Dad, I’m not reconciled, you have to help me!
That’s the SSR I drew, let’s go to the Mo Family and demand it back!”
Jiang Wen’s face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
“You still have the nerve to say that!”
“No matter what class of Spirit is drawn, you cannot easily abandon it and let it dissipate.
This is the most basic quality of a Spirit Master!”
“But you, you immediately severed the first Soul Contract and even wanted to watch the other party turn to ash!”
He squatted down, grabbing Lili’s shoulders forcefully, “Do you know that a main C-type SSR Spirit could allow our entire Jiang Family to become a top-tier family in Great Xia?
How could their Mo Family possibly return it?!”
Jiang Wen looked at his daughter in front of him, truly wanting to slap her to death!
An SSR!
The dream existence pursued by countless Spirit Masters.
If he could contract it, he could lead the Jiang Family to soar!
But such an opportunity was ruined by this brainless daughter in front of him.
Lili sobbed uncontrollably:
“Dad, my guaranteed draw went wrong at the time, and I was just too angry!
You absolutely must help me get that SSR back.”
Jiang Wen gritted his teeth, “We’ll just have to try.
Even if we can’t get it back, we must make their Mo Family pay some price!”
…
Nightfall.
Inside the villa.
Axion and Yukino talked until evening before they finally understood the general situation of this world.
After all that commotion, Yukino’s stomach rumbled with hunger, and she prepared to order a takeout feast.
Axion sat lazily on the sofa, his head resting on the back of the sofa, and waved to her:
“Hey, rich lady, I want to eat this world’s Manchu Han Imperial Feast.”
Yukino’s mouth twitched slightly, “What the hell is a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
Also, Spirits don’t need to eat; you sustain your life with spiritual power.”
Axion leisurely raised his head, “I’m not like other Spirits; I like to eat.”
Just kidding.
Although he was now a Spirit, he used to be a foodie, so he naturally wouldn’t give up the pleasure of enjoying delicious food.
Yukino had no choice but to order a lot of delicious food for Axion.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared for bed.
Axion yawned, “So, where do I sleep?”
Yukino blinked, “You sleep?
Spirits don’t need to sleep, right?
And you can go back to the Spirit Space.”
Spirits can enter the Spirit Space to rest, like Pokémon, they don’t take up any space.
Axion waved his hand, “No, no, Fat Yu, what are you thinking?
I’m not going to be a Pokémon.
Prepare a room for me.
Oh, right, I also need a top-of-the-line computer.”
The more Yukino listened, the more outrageous it sounded, “What do you need a computer for?”
Axion said seriously, “To play games.”
Yukino: “??!”
What kind of Spirit plays games?!
For the first time, she firmly refused:
“No, we’re usually very busy.
The National College Spirit Master Competition will start soon, and I must raise your level as quickly as possible!”
Axion became even more of a scoundrel, lying down on the sofa, “If you don’t buy it for me, I won’t fight monsters.
I’ll just lie flat every day.”
Yukino stared with her beautiful big eyes, full of astonishment.
What kind of Spirit is so willful?
Is he a child?
Does she need to coax him like a mother hen?!
And usually, it’s the Spirit Master who orders the Spirit around, right?!
But seeing his handsome and dashing appearance and the golden SSR above his head, Yukino couldn’t get angry at all.
Helpless, she could only agree.
“Then wait a moment, I’ll go tidy up your room.”
“Alright, then I’ll take a shower.”
After a day of getting along, Yukino’s way of addressing Axion had already fallen from the respectful “Senior Axion” to just calling him whatever…
Who could respect him when he was so cheap and annoying?!
Their relationship had also become closer, without the initial stiffness.
By the time Yukino finished tidying the room, aching all over, Axion had also cleaned up and walked out, his eight-pack abs exposed, and his blindfold replaced with sunglasses.
One might have thought he was going on a beach vacation.
This scene was still too shocking for a young woman like Yukino.
She took one look, and her pretty face flushed crimson.
She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look, and nervously said:
“You, you…
you have to wear clothes when you’re at home!”
She suddenly remembered those absurd news stories about Spirit Masters and Spirits…
Many Spirit Masters and Spirits had relationships.
Because the relationship between the two was truly too complex; they were both partners and a community of interest.
If it was a man and a woman, living together day and night, it was very easy for ‘that’ to happen…
As soon as Yukino thought of this, her brain started to overheat.
If her SSR really made a demand, would she comply or not?
Axion wiped his head with a bath towel, walked past Yukino, and chuckled:
“You worked hard, Fat Yu Master.
See you tomorrow.”
Yukino watched his departing figure, shaking her head quickly, shaking off some of her unhealthy thoughts.
She slapped her cheeks hard, “Pull yourself together!
Don’t just think about abs!
We have to go to an instance tomorrow!”
…
The next day.
Chuan University Spirit Master Academy, Monster Instance Area.
Although it was only six in the morning, this optimal leveling area was already crowded and bustling with people!
Spirit Masters, bringing all sorts of Spirits, were constantly shouting in the team-up hall:
“C-tier Level 50 Spirit leading a leveling group!
Any support-type Spirits can join to gain experience!
Girls and pretty female Spirits get priority!”
“Team-up to clear a two-star instance!
Spirits below E-tier Level 30 need not apply!”
“B-tier Level 60 Spirit big shot leading a team!
10 Spirit stones for a few hangers-on to join!”
“New Spirit Masters teaming up to clear a beginner-level instance!
No restrictions!
Depart when five people are gathered!”
“…..”
To ensure their safety, most Spirit Masters in the academy would choose to team up to clear monster instances, just in case.
Moreover, teaming up could also raise the upper limit of combat power, allowing them to clear higher-level instances and obtain generous rewards.
Of course, there were also Spirit Masters who soloed.
But they were extremely rare, usually the geniuses of the academy, who had powerful high-tier, high-level Spirit characters under their command!
And the arrival of Yukino and Axion immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.
“Sure enough, even if I hid your tier, there’s no way you wouldn’t be noticed…”
Yukino sighed helplessly, glancing at the 190 cm tall, black-clad, silver-haired man beside her.
Axion was still smiling carelessly, casually surveying the surrounding scenery.
Chuan University Academy’s instance area was vast, occupying who knew how many mountains!
Looking from afar, the mountains were covered with swirling vortexes glowing with different colored lights, which were probably the instance entrances.
Axion clasped his hands behind his head and asked with a smile:
“So, Fat Yu, which instance should we go to first?”
Yukino was studying an instance map, “Of course, the safest beginner instance.
I’m not yet familiar with your combat power and skills…”
Axion didn’t want to waste time in a beginner instance.
He was very clear about the strength of his Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo template.
“Well, instances should also be categorized by danger level, right…”
Yukino glanced at him with some surprise, nodded slightly, and continued to explain:
“As a Spirit, you know quite a lot.
Monster instances are ranked by difficulty, in order: beginner instance, one-star instance, two-star instance, three-star instance, four-star instance, five-star instance, and finally, the most terrifying Abyss Dungeon!”
Axion nodded slightly, “Alright then, let’s start with at least a three-star instance.”
Yukino’s rosy little mouth opened in surprise, “Huh?
What are you thinking?
Absolutely not!
This is our first time going into an instance.”
Axion looked at her and pondered:
“Right, I almost forgot, you’re still a beginner Spirit Master, you’ll hold me back.”
Yukino’s pretty face visibly puffed up, and she roared softly, “Let’s be stable!
If we die in the instance, everything will be over!”
Axion shrugged like a rogue, “Fine, a two-star instance.
Any lower and I’m not doing it…”
Yukino’s fists clenched tightly in anger, but she was completely helpless against him.
Who made him an SSR…
Yukino said helplessly, “Team up?”
Axion shook his head, “Teaming up means sharing experience with others, right?
That’s not so good.
I want to…
level up alone!”
