The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 450 - 209: GuaGua Evolves, Top Student Frog!_2

In one month’s time, through seven siege battles, the Eaglet Troop’s defensive line remained as solid as a rock. The students visibly grew day by day. Their youthful naivety gradually faded away, replaced with determined expressions and a glint of iron-blooded resolve in their eyes that surfaced from time to time.

"Battle!"

"Hahaha, Li did really well! The intricate insect trap he designed managed to trap a Perfect Rainbow Light, making it easy pickings!"

"And Su, Su was really brave! He dared to charge into the enemy camp on an ostrich, his Whirlwind Leg technique sending their teeth flying. It was so satisfying! Really satisfying!!"

The curtains were drawn on the eighth siege battle.

To date, the Eaglet Troop had sadly lost two of their own, but their cumulative enemy kill count exceeded four hundred.

The spoils of war, combined with the reward for their military exploits, when shared among everyone, came to an impressive figure.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Consecutive explosive sounds echoed from two different directions.

The students cleaning up the battlefield immediately halted their actions, looking towards the noises in surprise.

"Buzz-Buzz-Buzz——"

Jin Xiaohong stood on the ground, her limbs rigid and immovable.

On her body, her Armor began to ripple with patterns that resembled waves, stacking on one another in a strange way.

Beneath her feet, the rocky ground suddenly collapsed as if unable to bear her weight, sinking a depth of ten meters.

"Did Jin... advance to the third stage?!"

"Wow... It’s really Jin! After more than a month of high-intensity battles, she finally gained enough experience points required for the ’Shield Defender’ evolution!"

Everyone marveled, emitting a mixture of envy and heartfelt blessings.

Of course, the breakthrough of one other person was somewhat unexpected. Tan Ziping, initially ranked ninth then tenth among the Ten Talents, finally gained enough experience points required for the ’Calligrapher’ evolution and advanced to the third stage in one fell swoop.

"Moo!!"

When the master advances, the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits are no longer limited in their stages.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Shield Armor Elephant and Poison Ink Octopus both evolved.

The former expanded greatly in size, stood six meters tall, eight meters long, with a set of black heavy armor appearing on its body, making it seem wildly intimidating.

The latter did not enlarge significantly, but emerald green patterns appeared on its tentacles, faintly emitting a sweet scent that made one feel breathless by just inhaling it, daring not to get too close.

"Is that... a Heavy Armor Shield Elephant? It’s so dominant, so cool!!"

Regardless of gender or age, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in awe upon seeing Jin Xiaohong’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.

However, it was beyond common knowledge that Tan Ziping’s Poison Ink Octopus also possessed a natural route to Ascending Evolution.

Expectant gazes were directed towards Ye Hanjun one after another. They wanted to know what kind of species it was and how it evolved to become stronger.

"The Poison Ink Octopus actually has two potential evolution forms. The common version is called the ’Ink-Stained Octopus King’, which reduces toxicity but enhances ink contamination. If splashed by the ink, one is likely to be inflicted with ’Blindness’ and other negative statuses..."

"The other version, is the ’King of Poisonous Octopus’ that you see now."

"Tan Ziping must have fed it large amounts of toxic materials. Only then would the Poison Ink Octopus stand a chance to evolve into this form. Paired with the ’Calligrapher’, every written character contained lethal poison, making it extremely dangerous..."

With his understanding and the information from the attribute panel, Ye Hanjun expounded effortlessly.

The crowd was filled with exclamation sounds. No one would have thought that Tan Ziping would have such a turning point.

At the peak of the second stage, he could only rank last among the Ten Talents.

In a single day, he rose to a higher level. Not only did he level up, but the extent of his progress was enormous. Comparing with Jin Xiaohong, the gap between them had significantly decreased, showing signs of being on par with each other.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this were the school, anyone who advanced to the third stage would mean an outstanding student graduating, and making room for their juniors."

"Given the current state of war, there’s no telling when we could return to Canghai Pavilion. Given time, if we were to continuously advance, it would be as if countless outstanding students were standing together... This sight must be quite interesting."

Huo Xin was animated, then he turned to Yan Xuehui and said winkingly:

"Yan, I feel that I am nearing the peak of the second stage. Give me two months’ time, and I likely would be able to break through this barrier. Then, I would be able to protect you better."

"Is there a possibility that I could advance faster than you?"

Yan Xuehui turned her head, her beautiful face seemingly calm, but her eyes shimmered slightly.

"Ah!" Huo Xin was shocked, "You can’t be serious, Yan... You... You can’t just play me like that!"

"Every day I put on various performances, just to advance to the third stage sooner... Yan... Give me a chance, you can’t be so merciless!"

"..." Yan Xuehui didn’t answer, her face stayed frontward.

In an angle that Huo Xin couldn’t see, the corner of her lips curled up slightly, a fleeting smile apparent on her face.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh Whoosh~~"

An unusual sound was audible from a shaking water bottle.

Ye Hanjun felt a sense of familiarity, he summoned Goose Immortal to guard the line of defense, then instructed Dongfang Xu and Lin Pingfan to continue the cleanup of the battlefield. He then quickly excused himself and left.

"Yiye!!"

In the abandoned mine tunnel, Ye Hanjun made sure there were no preying eyes around, opened the bottle cap, and set the tadpole free.

Splosh—— The tadpoles turned into the Enlightened Frog, then back into Ye Hanjun, he raised both hands towards the sky and cheered:
