Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 192: Recognition

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Recognition

These people are all from the tribe, and they would never stoop to playing a war of attrition as part of their schemes—that would earn them nothing but spit and curses from their clansmen. Of course, it was also not permitted.

So, upon witnessing Huo Li’s formidable strength, they all knew better than to step forward and issue a challenge.

They merely looked upon the stage at the Holy Daughter and sighed in unison.

Seeing this, Huo Li immediately broke into a proud, hearty laugh.

If no one dares to challenge me, then I shall claim the beauty as my own!

He then turned to look at Huo Liuli, with an expression that said it was all in the bag!

"Alright, I declare that this contest is won by Huo Li! Next, as long as Huo Li gains the acceptance of the sacred fire, he can sign a Contract with Her Highness the Holy Daughter!"

With the man’s words, the scene erupted in another round of enthusiastic cheering.

Of course, they were not cheering for Huo Li.

Rather, it was a cheer for the tribe, for once the Holy Daughter signed the Contract, the tribe’s strength would significantly increase.

There was another reason for their cheer: after the signing of the Contract with the Holy Daughter, the sacred fire would also perform a ceremonial baptism on them all.

This baptism was what everyone truly valued, for it was a chance for transformation.

If the baptism was successful, they would break through their personal limits, greatly enhancing their strength, and advancing into a new Realm!

It was an opportunity that only came once in decades!

How could they not cheer for that?

"It seems like Huo Liuli isn’t too fond of him, huh?"

Xiao Zhan spoke softly to Ye Youlong.

Huo Liuli maintained a calm expression throughout the battle, no matter who entered the stage, she didn’t show much of a reaction.

It seemed like there was no one here to her liking.

"Preference isn’t the important part, suitability is what matters," said Ye Youlong.

"Oh?"

Listening to this remark, why did Xiao Zhan feel a bit uncomfortable?

When Ye Youlong first sought to sign a Contract with him, he had emphasized suitability as well.

While it was true, it was indeed a bit irksome to hear.

Ye Youlong seemed to notice the problem with what he had just said and paused, "We are a match made in heaven, which is why we can skip many formalities."

Clap clap.

Xiao Zhan immediately applauded, "Well said, I can’t find a single flaw in your logic."

"There is one."

Ye Youlong spoke indifferently.

"There is?"

Xiao Zhan was taken aback.

"Yes, there is."

"Where?"

"On the body."

On the body?

...Sss!

Xiao Zhan was shocked!

Well, well, so when you said there was a flaw, this is what you meant!

Damn it, who knew you were referring to these kinds of flaws!

Typical of a female driver—pedal to the metal with no brakes.

Xiao Zhan’s eyes instantly turned suggestive.

Wrapping an arm around Ye Youlong’s slender waist, Xiao Zhan’s hand became slightly naughty, speaking flirtatiously, "I’ve lost interest right now, how about we go back and fix a leak?"

It wasn’t that Xiao Zhan lacked self-control, but rather that his wife was of an exceptionally high caliber.

I mean, which man could resist such a provocative wife?

Isn’t this asking to be ardently cherished?

Ye Youlong slapped Xiao Zhan’s hand away, "I’m quite interested at the moment, let’s continue watching."

The meaning of that was, I’ll play the provocateur, but I’m not responsible for the consequences!

Xiao Zhan was instantly so infuriated, his teeth itching with the urge to bite something. If it weren’t for the crowd here, he would definitely impose family discipline, whipping her harshly, letting her know what the emperor’s seat in a family meant!

During their tugging and pulling,

Huo Li had already taken several steps forward, walking onto a ritual altar in front of the square.

This altar was similar to the one Xiao Zhan had seen on the way to the Clan Leader’s stone house, only this one was a bit larger, perhaps three to four times the size.

The Clan Leader Huo Lingjun also came down from the stands, walking up to the front of the altar.

After looking at Huo Li, a look of admiration appeared in her eyes, "Are you ready?"

"Ready, Clan Leader, I will cherish Liuli dearly."

"I’m asking if you’re ready to receive the Sacred Fire’s recognition?"

Huo Lingjun’s old face showed a hint of doting laughter; this silly child was getting ahead of himself without the contract even set.

Huo Li also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, "I... I am ready as well."

"Then let’s begin."

Huo Lingjun laughed again; she was quite fond of this Huo Li—a child with a sincere heart.

"Very well, thank you, Clan Leader."

After speaking, Huo Li gently closed his eyes, holding his breath and concentrating.

Huo Lingjun also immediately began her movements, her hands changing gestures like she was Sealing, while chanting spells incomprehensible to Xiao Zhan.

After about five or six seconds, she shouted loudly, and the runes on the altar in front of her suddenly emitted a red light.

Then, in the center of the altar, a rootless fire started to burn.

The flame was entirely blood-red, without a trace of impurity, burning at the top of the altar, like a blood jade lotus, captivating!

Xiao Zhan’s Perception scanned the flame and immediately felt a surge of immense energy contained within it.

The energy caused his complexion to change, his heart pounding.

"Such massive energy, only seen in the Secret Realm Origin, the value of this flame is probably not inferior to the Secret Realm Origin!"

Ye Youlong had the same feeling as Xiao Zhan, "No wonder the Fire Attribute Energy here is so pure, it all relies on this flame!"

"Is this the Sacred Fire they speak of?"

Xiao Zhan’s face showed a look of astonishment.

Just then, the flame suddenly emitted a red light, enveloping Huo Li, after which Huo Li’s expression turned to one of pain.

But no one was worried, instead, they were all envious.

"Such envy, having received the recognition of the Sacred Fire, he’s destined to be the first among the tribe!"

"An opportunity that comes maybe once every ten or twenty years, a tremendous fortune, I’m extremely jealous!"

"Don’t just muse about it, later we’ll receive the baptism of the Sacred Fire too, though it won’t be as good as his, it’s still something."

"Yeah, that’s right."

The envy in the crowd turned to anticipation.

The Sacred Fire is generous, one person gets the meat, others get the soup.

"It’s just unknown how much the Sacred Fire will recognize Huo Li, I remember the highest record in the tribe is five golden flowers, I wonder if he can break that record."

"It’s impossible to break, but it’s probably not far off, after all, he’s the best of the younger generation selected, there’s hardly a bad one."

"That’s true, even the worst of many years were three golden flowers."

"Heh heh, when it’s my turn to be baptized later, if a few golden flowers pop up, that would be great."

"You’ve got to be kidding, dreaming of a few golden flowers, you’d be thankful to have even one!"

"Heh heh, can’t I imagine it? The comedy king of the ancient Yuan era, Stephen Chow, once said, ’To be a human, you need to have dreams; without dreams, what difference is there from a salted fish?’"

As they were discussing,

The red light enveloping Huo Li suddenly showed golden ripples, the ripples forming shapes, gradually transforming into several golden flowers.

One, two, three, four, five... Six!

Exactly six!
