The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 479 - 219: 4th Order, Anatomist Expert_1

In the dense forest, a moment of dead silence ensued.

Bai Qin tilted her chin upwards, staring into Ye Hanjun’s eyes.

Ye Hanjun lowered his head earnestly meeting her gaze.

Among the Seven Great Disciples, Su Mei, Wang Xinfei, and Li Jingming were the latest to advance, and their progression was still in last place.

Renwo Kuang was playing steadily, leading the Potentially Vicious Zombie - Renwo Lang in a charge towards the Jade Infant’s Great Completion.

Recently, Dongfang Xu’s Three Tailed Flame Tiger has advanced to the Jade Infant’s Great Completion, and the next target is the Jade Infant’s Perfection.

Only Bai Qin and Lin Pingfan, whose Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, the "Corpse Stench Demon Tubers" and "Glotony Ghost", have long advanced to Jade Infant’s Perfection.

Among them, Bai Qin had the deepest job authority experience value and was really only a hair away from the 4th Order.

"If it were a natural promotion, it would take at least three to six months."

"By that time, the Shadow Alliance may have been taken over by Ying Liu."

"What exactly do you mean by the...effective promotion plan you mentioned in your letter?"

Bai Qin tilted her head slightly, with the bright moonlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves and shining onto her neck. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as porcelain.

It was hard to imagine that beneath such a skin was housed a soul that wouldn’t blink an eye when killing.

And those slender arms and frail palms, how ruthlessly unfeeling they were when they gripped the Dagger.

"The time of the agreement is today."

"Be patient, the surprise will be delivered soon."

Ye Hanjun stretched lazily, easing the seriousness of the conversation.

Then, he lowered his head and while seemingly casually adjusting his clothes, he flipped his palm and firmly gripped the Bloodsucking Dagger, the remnants of a Beast Soldier he had used earlier.

"Whoosh!"

With a faint sound of breaking wind, in an instant, Ye Hanjun covered a distance of five meters, his blade sweeping towards Bai Qin’s neck.

"Clang!"

An energy dagger appeared in Bai Qin’s hand, the back of the dagger blocking the Bloodsucking Dagger. The sharp edge of the dagger was only an inch away from her eyes.

At such a close distance, any normal person would be utterly discomposed.

But Bai Qin merely furrowed her brows slightly, showing no signs of panic or fear. After glancing at Ye Hanjun, she used the back of her dagger to push and step back.

"Your vigilance is commendable, worthy of someone routinely executing kill orders."

A corner of Ye Hanjun’s mouth curled, a flicker of inscrutable smile visible through the gaps in his teeth.

The night was so lonely, it was a perfect opportunity for a match.

Having not seen this sixth disciple for a while, he really wanted to see how far she, standing at the peak of the 3rd order, had grown in her skills.

"Clang! Clang!"

"Whoosh! Swoosh!"

The sound of swift movements filled the air as they sparred without the aid of their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits. They were trying to gain the upper hand only using their physical bodies.

Clearly, the sharpness of the Dagger created by Bai Qin’s Passive Ability far exceeded that of the Bloodsucking Dagger.

And her basic physical condition as a Superior Level ’Anatomist Expert’ was comparable to Ye Hanjun’s state without enchantment.

But as far as perception was concerned... Bai Qin was completely defeated!

Relying on ’Super Spirituality’, Ye Hanjun was able to precisely predict every swing of her dagger, even where her foot would land in the next second, the direction of the wind, the change in light and darkness... everything was clearly perceived by him.

His skills were also highly sophisticated, appearing to be full of weak spots at a first glance.

However, even after Bai Qin tried all kinds of methods and wanted to harm herself to harm him, she surprisingly found it difficult to succeed as if he had no leakages at all.

"Clink clatter..."

After the melee combat lasted for half an hour, both of them were sweating.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from afar. Ye Hanjun slightly raised his eyebrows.

After determining the identity of the newcomer, he spun the Dagger in his hand skillfully into a twirling cut flower pattern before pulling it back into his Dimensional Space Bag.

"Old Mrs. Sun, you’re almost late."

"You kid, you really think the Wheel of Life is easy to kill."

As Sun Lin appeared, she sat atop an Earth Wood Beast, looking somewhat weather-beaten.

She mockingly smiled, her gaze unintentionally passing over Ye Hanjun and landing on Bai Qin’s face.

"Eh, you look a little familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

"Old Mrs. Sun, she was once a student of the Canghai Pavilion, but she later dropped out."

Ye Hanjun laughed lightly and calmly stated,

"Where’s the prey? It didn’t bite into your beast’s mouth. Judging from its small size, I guess you’ve concealed it in the Dimensional Space Bag?"

"Whoosh——"

Sun Lin activated her customised Dimensional Space Bag.

As an experienced Patron at the 4th Order, naturally, her container sought to be of the highest specification, with a capacity five to ten times that of ordinary bags.

A glow flashed, and a still-bleeding corpse was thrown to the ground.

It was a rat-type Fond Spirit, approximately two meters long, covered in spikes, which made it quite intimidating.

Ye Hanjun pulled out a long spear, and gently flipped it, turning the body over.

"The Life Wheel Virtual Summon’s ’Thorn Rat King’? This prey is extremely difficult to catch."

"One fatal stab to the heart, the rest of the body is mostly intact... It couldn’t be any more appropriate for dissection!"

Ye Hanjun was in high spirits, and after Bai Qin had calmed her breath, her cool eyes were also fixed on the corpse. She never took her eyes off it.

"So, your effective promotion plan is to use the corpse of the Wheel of Life as the subject of dissection, rapidly accumulating job authority experience points?"

"Correct, the Wheel of Life cannot be slaughtered using your own power."

"But if you borrow his hand, as long as you get the corpse, it will be excellent practice material for you."

"In the process of your dissection of higher-order Fond Spirits, you’ll learn more about the body structures of higher level creatures. Even if it’s just one-sided and shallow, it’s still far more efficient than dissecting creatures of the same or lower orders."
