The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 365 - 180: D Level, Instructor! _3

"Xiong Tao..." Ji Yan nodded in acknowledgement, "I’ve heard of your name. A ’Mentor’ with a D-level authority is hard to ignore."

"Oh, you flatter me."

"Your name ’Windwalker’ is also well-known. Few within the Blue Frog Kingdom haven’t heard of it."

Xiong Tao exchanged pleasantries, smiling broadly.

Then he gestured invitingly and took the lead, saying:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please settle down and take a brief rest."

"Once we establish our base, I’ll take you on a tour of Tianyafu Residence. We’ll officially start our half-month new life."

...

The settling down process lasted for half a day.

Tianyafu Residence provided a very grand estate, serving as the stopover for Canghai Pavilion.

Even with three to four dozen people living here, it didn’t feel crowded.

After a visit around, it was almost noon. Xiong Tao led everyone to a dining hall. At the top floor, they savored the magical cuisine prepared by a Tier-3 ’Chef’, briefly delighting their taste buds.

"Master Xiong, since we have arrived at your academy, we should follow your arrangements."

"This half a month, long as it may seem, is also short. What does your academy intend to do with this cohort of exchange students?"

After the meal, the conversation started to flow, and Ji Yan asked seriously.

"What suggestions does Master Ji have?"

Xiong Tao laughed loudly, turning the question back.

Ji Yan contemplated for a while, and responded calmly:

"These are top-tier academies, and while the curriculum might differ, there shouldn’t be a mass disparity."

"Since it is an ’exchange’, ’interaction’, the best, simplest, and most efficient way of communication is to have the elite students from both schools compete against each other."

"Good! Master Ji is straightforward. You’ve spoken my mind!"

Xiong Tao roared with laughter:

"To be honest, I myself am itching for a battle."

"Everyone says that Tianyafu Residence is not on par with Canghai Pavilion, always suppressed."

"By chance, in recent years, our academy has recruited some promising students. Some are still fledglings but others have grown robustly, capable of being the backbone."

"Please?"

Ji Yan stood up, the coldness in his green pupils replaced by a hint of competitiveness.

Instead of passively waiting for Tianyafu Residence’s provocations, why not be proactive?

The strong will be strong, the weak will be weak. The gap between the second and the fourth... will be revealed once the competition starts!

"Please!"

Xiong Tao straightened his back, no longer concealing his sharpness.

In an instant, his eyes were sharp as blades.

Atop his one meter ninety body, it seemed as if a layer of dried blood had been cast, giving an indomitable aura like a tall mountain peak, making it difficult to breathe within a hundred meters radius.

A ’Mentor’ with D-level authority... should not be underestimated!

This type of authority’s core growth strategy is to hone indomitable will, never to be defeated by difficulties.

Through their abilities, they assist in training Contracted Fond Spirits, focusing on obeying orders, reducing redundant operations, paying attention to details, and gradually advancing.

Towards enemies, a Mentor would never show mercy.

Towards competitors, a Mentor would never easily admit defeat.

Tianyafu Residence sending a trump card Mentor who can compete with Canghai Pavilion’s star Mentors suggests an intense conflict lies ahead.!

"Whoosh——"

The green wind swirled around, and Ji Yan no longer restrained his control of the Wind Element.

As soon as Xiong Tao’s momentum came up, he seemed to raise an unbreakable wind wall. The students’ behind him found their breathing eased immediately.

"Follow me!"

"Ever since hearing about the student exchange, the Eight Battle Axe of my Tianyafu Residence has been rubbing hands in anticipation, looking forward to welcoming the Ten Talents of your esteemed academy!"

Xiong Tao roared, and surprisingly, instead of going by normal routes, jumped straight out of the French window.

Left behind, Zhang ZiYue and Zhou Yi, one tapping her temples, the other holding his forehead, probably hadn’t expected this ace Mentor to reveal his true colors so quickly.

"Whoosh——"

This time, students with flying Fond Spirits lit up their Contract Marks on their own without riding Elder Shan and Eld Xu’s Flying Pets.

"Aowooo!!"

The Terrifying Wolf Sparrow, a Contracted Spirit at the Perfection tier of Rainbow Light, roared, and its voice rumbled like thunder across ten li.

Its Patron, Linghu Fei, was the second to jump out the window. In an instant, he landed on the Terrifying Wolf Sparrow’s back, chasing after the swiftly moving Xiong Tao.

"Hehe, a full meal, it’s good to stretch."

Huo Xin brushed his bangs, revealing what he believed to be a handsome smile.

He didn’t have a Flight Spirit, and shouldn’t have jumped directly from a height of several hundred meters.

But for a ’Trickster’, there were many ways to solve this.

"Plop——"

Huo Xin conjured a hang glider, and in front of Yan Xuehui, he rushed out the window.

Under the public gaze, he was like a tourist, even donning a pair of sunglasses, looking so relaxed.

"Sister Yan, follow quickly!"

"Look there, there’s a purple flower bed! The color looks so good!"

"Flap Flap——"

Yan Xuehui, Thorn Princess, and the seventh among the Ten Talents, also didn’t have a Flight Spirit.

But she had a special flying tool shaped like butterfly wings.

With it on her back, Yan Xuehui flew up, leisurely following behind Huo Xin, constantly adjusting her flight angle.

...

The students displayed their skills one after another, chasing after the figures of Xiong Tao and Linghu Fei.

Those with Flight Spirits had it easy, while for those without, the several hundred meters high building was the first obstacle.

"Phew——"

Renwo Kuang descended the building bare-handed, amazingly gripping each protruding eave, climbing and jumping.

One slip, and he would fall.

But such heart-stopping actions didn’t result in any accidents.

In just two to three minutes, he landed on his feet, and then picked up his speed by rushing forward.

"Master Han, how are you going?"

"Ah, never mind, don’t worry about me, you guys press on."

Ye Hanjun gestured, looking at Zhang ZiYue and Zhou Yi’s somewhat puzzled eyes, he actually pressed the escalator switch.

In a short while, the escalator came up. He walked in alone, pressing the downward switch, hanging on his face was also a carefree expression.
