The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 924 - 367: Shenyi, the lost figure in the distance, return

In a corner of Julu Forest, not a bird chirped nor an insect buzzed.

Renwo Kuang stood still, his head lowered, calmly gazing at Bai Qin.

His silent yet commanding presence was so startling that even the grass and trees seemed to bow down.

The Contracted Fond Spirits were restless, and some of the weaker ones lay on the ground, willingly showing their submission.

"The respected Kung... he is the Fire Kung..."

The sound of swallowing came from the shadows, and a trembling young voice spoke:

"The named leader of the Fire Mercenary Group, although he is known as ’Flame Lord’..."

"But ’Kung’ as the deputy leader, is actually the strongest. His human body, enhanced through Ability, can rival wild beasts of the same rank. Seeing him today, it truly is so..."

As these words fell, many people emerged from the shadows, all wearing masks, their hands adorned with signature blood-red gloves and white daggers.

Clearly, they had undergone thorough training.

Some were nervous because their leader was at a disadvantage.

But more than seventy percent remained calm, their sharp gazes sweeping across the Fire team, both alert and indifferent.

"The gap is getting bigger, huh?"

Lin Pingfan was the only member of Yeren who wasn’t wearing a mask.

He spread his hands, half in helplessness and half in awe:

"What a ’Giant Strength Titan’, reaching the pinnacle, truly breathtaking."

"But... won’t your physique become extinct? You surely can’t marry a Demi-human, right?"

"It doesn’t matter."

Renwo Kuang gently shook his head and started walking towards the deeper parts of the forest.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

"Chirp!"

The mighty Corpse King, Crocodile Marshal, and Rabbit Fighter closely followed him, like three mighty deities of strength.

"Speaking of which..."

Lin Pingfan sprinted straight up to the side of Rabbit Fighter, looked up and said nonchalantly:

"Following your usual naming convention, what’s this guy called?

"Let me guess, Renwo Fight? Renwo Kick? Renwo Jump? Renwo Bounce? They all sound pretty interesting..."

"The name’s Renwo Bom!"

The Rabbit Fighter suddenly halted, her crimson rabbit eyes glaring down, and she stomped one foot down.

Instantly, dust billowed, the ground shook, and a crater hundreds of meters deep appeared.

Lin Pingfan, who was in close proximity, swayed, nearly falling into the pit.

At the critical moment, he suddenly turned into an ethereal ghostly form.

Inside his ghost form, there were actually two other oddly shaped spirits, blinking and showing curiosity.

"You’ve actually mastered the common Beastman language? You seem smarter than Renwo Lang, Renwo Throw."

"That’s right, at least as a member of the Subhuman Race, compared to the muscle-bound Corpse Race and the dull wild beasts, there are species with higher intelligence..."

Lin Pingfan, intrigued, slowly floated up and engaged in a lively exchange with Rabbit Fighter.

"You’re so annoying!"

"I don’t like chatting! I like fighting!"

The Rabbit Fighter got irritated and kicked out with a foot.

Lin Pingfan didn’t dodge, letting the big foot kick him, laughing as if nothing happened.

"Oww!!"

Crocodile Marshal Renwo Pao, seeing his companion furious, was eager to join the fight.

Unexpectedly, a Ghostly Soul inside Lin Pingfan’s body emerged, transforming into a beautiful female crocodile, throwing flirty glances at him.

Renwo Pao hadn’t seen such a spectacle before; he immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes bulging, a look of amazed surprise on his face.

"Is this ’Seductive Ghost’?"

Renwo Kuang glanced back and thoughtfully said,

"Renwo Pao has never seen a beautiful other-sex, the art of seduction... could be one of his weaknesses."

"We should spar when there’s time, it will enhance the training, mutually beneficial..."

"Piece of cake!"

Lin Pingfan laughed heartily, stopped fussing with the Rabbit Fighter, and moved closer to Dongfang Xu, staring intently at his Contracted Spirit.

"Cool, a Six-Tailed Red Flame Tiger."

"Do you think we might ever reach the ninth rank? If it evolves upon Ascending Evolution into a Holy Beast, will it have nine tails, like a ’Nine-Tailed Fox’?"

"And... Red Lotus Heavenly King is unfairly handsome!"

"This is just Immeasurable Small Achievement, with three heads and six arms, so miraculous."

"Imagine one day it upgrades to Holy Beast Bloodline, Red Lotus with one spear, a space black hole, Red Lotus with one slash, halting Canghai’s flow...wow, mind-blowing, really looking forward to it!"

"That day will come."

Dongfang Xu, less lively than Lin Pingfan, seriously said,

"Back then, we thought the fourth or even fifth rank were our ultimate goals."

"It turns out, we were immature, like frogs in a well, not seeing the bigger picture..."

"Whoosh—"

A purple light streaked across, and the Zixia Moth appeared above both teams, its gentle purple light warm like jade.

Li Jingming floated down, not yet touching the ground, and with a gentle smile, as if basking in the spring breeze:

"My friends... all well, I trust."

"From afar, I heard noises here and hurried over. Please tone down the ferocity; don’t spar outside of the forest."

"The necessary facilities have been set up at the spots where you can stay, where no one will disturb. Just follow me."

"Got it."

Lin Pingfan’s eyes lit up, he examined the blue-clothed man’s face, both envious and jealous:

"You lad, were born with a handsome face."

"Centuries in a blink, like a fish in water, truly a spoon-fed life by the heavens."

"Yue Gui, brother, you jest."

Li Jingming smiled softly, his gentle gaze sweeping over Lin Pingfan, then Bai Qin, Dongfang Xu, Renwo Kuang, nodding slightly:

"Thus, Yue Long, Yuegui, Yue Jia, Yue Li, Yue Huo, Yue Lu, Yue Gui, all seven envoys have gathered."

"Among the higher ranks, Yue Xin is unreachable, Yue Yin unable to leave."

"We will start the ceremony as soon as Yue Ying arrives, and more followers arrive,"
