Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 179: Fifth Grade Spirit Master Huang Jun

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Fifth Grade Spirit Master Huang Jun

The Snow Lotus Sword in his hand trembled slightly as Jiang Xian’er heard these words, "Your dad has already sent people over and asked you to return. There’s no need for us to continue pursuing him."

Jiang Xian’er didn’t want to take the risk; if Xiao Zhan could kill so many Fourth Grade, he could surely kill them too.

Moreover, their strength was no match for Xiao Zhan’s.

But Huang Fei ignored her warning completely, instead, he angrily retorted, "Spare me your nonsense. I don’t need you to make decisions for me!"

The words ’cuckold’ that Xiao Zhan had shouted at him were still in his mind.

Although this act doesn’t actually count as being cuckolded, who in this world wouldn’t wish to be like Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, whose first contract was a mutual recognition?

So it’s less to say he was angry with Xiao Zhan, and more accurate to say he was filled with jealousy.

...

On the other side.

The border line of Northern Town.

The continuing heavy snowfall, like goose feathers, had turned the whole world white.

On top of a huge city wall, Ye Wudi was patrolling the defensive line with Ye Ajian.

Recently, there had been an increase in Demon Beast activity, prompting a new round of raids and attacks. The defense was under strain, and as the Commander and the highest combatant in the military, Ye Wudi had to be stationed here.

"This wave of Demon Beasts has come earlier than before, and they seem even more active, suggesting the brewing of a major storm," Ye Wudi remarked as he looked out at the vast expanse of white, a trace of unease in his eyes.

He had been feeling restless these past few days, always sensing

"I’ve already sent someone to investigate the Northern Snow Domain, hoping to find some clues," Ye Ajian replied.

Ye Wudi shook his head, "What’s there to find out? Demon Beasts are Demon Beasts; if they come, we kill them. There’s nothing to investigate. They’re not going to stop attacking us just because you find a reason."

"Yes, Father."

Then, Ye Wudi inquired, "Ye Youlong and Xiao Zhan should have returned by now, right?"

"It’s not clear yet, but they should be home by this time."

"I never expected that, just within a year’s time, both of them would graduate from Baidi Academy. They’re even faster than big brother back in the day," Ye Wudi sighed.

He continued, "What do you think would be a good position for them?"

Ye Ajian pondered for a moment, "Both of them are outstanding in combat, and having spent half a year in the Special Service Bureau, their real combat experience is solid. What they lack most is the management of an army and strategic insights for large-scale battles, so I think it would be better for them to be placed in the headquarters where they can learn from you, Father."

"But the military values achievements. If they were to be directly parachuted into the headquarters, other officers might not speak out due to their status, but they would definitely take issue with it."

The laws of the Federation are clear; the appointment of military officers must be supported by merits, with no shortcuts allowed.

Merits are everything; without merits, even if you’re the son of the War God, you can’t be given a position.

Of course, as a son of the War God, they certainly have certain privileges. But actions like granting a military officer position directly are absolutely not allowed.

"Let’s follow the procedures," Ye Wudi added.

The procedure is to start from the frontline and fight your way up.

However, Ye Ajian furrowed his brow, "But with the Demon Beasts being so aggressive now, wouldn’t it be too dangerous to send them directly to the front lines?"

"I’ll exercise proper judgment."

"Alright then."

Ye Ajian had also started out fighting enemies on the frontline when he first joined the military. This is almost everyone’s first step, but for someone with their potential, they wouldn’t be left to die in vain. There would be people assigned to protect them.

Just then, a shrill alarm sounded.

"Demon Beasts are approaching, prepare for battle!" Ye Wudi immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

...

Another side.

Demon Beast Forest.

Huang Fei continued his pursuit of Xiao Zhan when suddenly, a helicopter appeared above him.

"Get on!"

A deep voice followed shortly after.

Huang Fei glanced at the person on the helicopter. It was none other than his second uncle, Huang Jun!

A man of robust figure and stern expression.

He immediately leapt, darting onto the helicopter.

"Second Uncle."

Joy appeared on Huang Fei’s face. With his second uncle here, Xiao Zhan truly had no chance to escape.

Huang Jun gave Huang Fei’s disgraceful appearance a disdainful look, "Look at the state of you, needing a Fifth Grade to step in to capture a Third Grade Spirit Master. If word gets out, it’ll be a stain on our Huang Family’s reputation!"

Huang Fei’s face flushed with embarrassment, "Second Uncle, don’t underestimate this Xiao Zhan; he’s too cunning—underestimating him will lead to your downfall."

"It’s not that he’s too cunning; it’s that you’re too incompetent! Look at yourself, both of you share the same SSS-tier talent. He reached Third Grade in one year, and what about you?"

At that point, Huang Jun gazed at the Snow Lotus Sword in his hand. Even though it was an SS-tier Snow Lotus Sword, he still wasn’t quite satisfied.

If Huang Fei had firmly bonded with an Artifact Spirit from the start, he wouldn’t be toyed with by Xiao Zhan like this.

Huang Fei, realizing the meaning behind Huang Jun’s gaze, said somewhat resentfully, "It’s not my fault. If not for dad’s decision, it’s not certain I wouldn’t already be at Fourth Grade."

Originally, Huang Fei had a contract with an SS-tier Artifact Spirit, and hadn’t his father forcibly made him bond with Ye Youlong, he wouldn’t have wasted so much precious cultivation time.

"Enough, you’re only good at running your mouth."

Huang Jun knew exactly what kind of man Huang Fei was; a little capable but conceited, and never serious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been thoroughly trounced by Xiao Zhan.

Huang Fei could only swallow the insult from Huang Jun.

He knew that continuing this topic was just self-humiliation.

"Second Uncle, how do you plan to deal with Xiao Zhan? Are you going to kill him directly?"

"Kill him? Your father’s intention is to capture them alive. They still have their uses."

"Capturing them works too."

A fierce glint flashed in Huang Fei’s eyes. If they were captured, he could exact his revenge more satisfyingly, venting the rage in his heart.

"Hmph."

Huang Jun, seeing his spineless state, snorted coldly.

Both human, both SSS-tier, yet the gap between them was extraordinary.

The helicopter flew on, and before long, they spotted Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan ran on the ground below. As soon as the helicopter entered his Perception range, he sensed it. Without hesitation, he struck with a Scythe Energy towards the helicopter.

The helicopter found it hard to evade in mid-air and was about to be hit, but at that moment, a figure suddenly jumped out.

With just a casual slash, the Scythe Energy was easily dispersed.

Then, Huang Jun landed gracefully, positioning himself behind Xiao Zhan.

"Boy, surrender now and spare yourself the pain."

Xiao Zhan sensed the presence and was instantly alarmed.

This robust aura, the man before him was a Fifth Grade Spirit Master!!
