Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 110 A New Mission

The next day.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong got up, and since they had nothing else to do, they went to the Cultivation Room to practice.

Last night’s issues were unresolved, but they tacitly avoided discussing it further.

Additionally, after their battle with Long Jiang,

they realized their own shortcomings; their overall strength was indeed mighty, akin to a hexagram warrior, but lacking a standout skill.

This made their performance in battle seem rather ordinary.

Especially the Spirit Manipulation Technique, Fish Lamp Soul Summoning, as his power increased, Xiao Zhan felt this skill was becoming somewhat insufficient.

Its attack effects leaned more towards creating Illusion Realms, and when it comes down to inflicting damage, it wasn’t different from a regular attack. Once the enemy’s spiritual power is strong, this skill of Xiao Zhan’s becomes useless.

This technique is not very effective in one-on-one combat but can be useful in group battles.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan must quickly master the Death Gaze Spirit Manipulation Technique, and it would be ideal if he could also cultivate the instantaneous enlightenment associated with the Black Other Shore Flower.

The notebook left by Ye Wuming doesn’t have many skills listed, only six Spirit Manipulation Techniques, each requiring a corresponding level of power to master.

With the help of Spirit Fruits, Xiao Zhan could practice the Death Gaze Spirit Manipulation Technique, which was meant for the Third Grade Realm, ahead of time, but he must reach Fourth Grade to practice the next Spirit Manipulation Technique.

It’s not that his physical condition is not up to par, but rather, the prerequisite for the next Spirit Manipulation Technique is that he and Ye Youlong need to merge into a Battle Spirit Form.

The two entered the Cultivation Room.

With their special privileges, they could directly enter the highest-level Cultivation Room, which made Liu Yuan, who was also practicing there, envious.

"Choose the Traceless Cultivation Mode."

Upon entering the Cultivation Room, Xiao Zhan, as always, activated Traceless Mode.

He was innately cautious, and after the incident with Long Jiang, he became even more guarded, even more reluctant to disclose any physical data about himself and Ye Youlong.

"How many merit points are needed to exchange for the Black Other Shore Flower?"

Xiao Zhan asked the artificial intelligence.

He wanted to swiftly comprehend the Spirit Manipulation Technique through the enlightened moment the spirit light of the Black Other Shore Flower could grant, which meant he needed to consume more of these flowers.

The Special Service Bureau has a Spiritual Grass Plantation; any growable Spirit Grass can be exchanged, but it costs merit points.

And those merit points are earned by completing missions. Xiao Zhan and Liu Yuan did an outstanding job on this mission; all the team’s points were awarded to them.

Among them, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong killed the most enemies and contributed the most, so they got the most points, a total of three thousand merit points.

"Special class authority, Black Other Shore Flower exchange privileges unlocked, one thousand merit points per plant."

Only three plants can be exchanged?

Xiao Zhan could only be shocked at how dark-hearted the Special Service Bureau was. The three thousand points he had earned with his life could only get him three plants?

Although the Black Other Shore Flower is high-grade, Artifact Spirits with Death Attributes are not numerous, and the demand isn’t high. Still, they exploit like this?

"I have special class authority, can I get a discount?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"No, special class authority only unlocks the exchange eligibility, no discounts available."

Great.

So, without this special class authority, I wouldn’t be able to exchange even if I had points, right?

"What do you think, should we exchange now?" Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong and asked.

After yesterday’s event, Xiao Zhan understood something — that this woman’s mind works better than his. She could quickly judge whether the outcome of a decision matches its value.

She was good at this.

Although Xiao Zhan could also make such judgments, he wasn’t as quick as her.

Therefore, for peace of mind, Xiao Zhan made a decision to always consult her when in doubt.

Why waste such a clever brain by not putting it to use?

"We can exchange right now."

Ye Youlong immediately gave an answer, explaining, "The comprehension of Spirit Manipulation Techniques is extremely aligned with one’s own attributes. Although we can practice the techniques left by dad, they ultimately aren’t a perfect fit."

"Even in subsequent advancements and enhancements, our development path may diverge from the techniques left by him, so we must grasp the Spirit Manipulation Techniques that belong to us."

What she pointed out was crucial. Despite Ye Wuming leaving them six Spirit Manipulation Techniques,

But whether all techniques can be cultivated is still an issue.

Artifact Spirits can be strengthened and developed, and if Ye Youlong’s future development path differs from that of her mother, there’s a high probability she won’t be able to use later Spirit Manipulation Techniques.

Even if the deviation in development paths isn’t significant, the power would still be greatly reduced.

Therefore, developing Spirit Manipulation Techniques that are unique to oneself is incredibly important.

Xiao Zhan also understood this, which is why he asked her if she ’wanted to exchange them now’ rather than simply asking if she ’wanted to exchange them.’

After all, they still had the Death Gaze Spirit Manipulation Technique to cultivate, and he was worried there might not be enough time.

What if they had to go on a mission midway and ended up succeeding in cultivating none?

But Ye Youlong was clearly a confident person; she wanted all of them.

"Alright, we’ll do as you wish."

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhan immediately exchanged for three Black Other Shore Flowers, using up all their points.

"Let’s start cultivating."

There was no time to delay; upon obtaining the Black Other Shore Flowers, the two began cultivating right away.

...

Time flew, and half a year passed quickly.

Over this half-year, Xiao Zhan finally succeeded in cultivating the Death Gaze Spirit Manipulation Technique.

After simulating a battle in the Cultivation Room, he found that when facing an average Third Grade Spirit Master, it would only take an instant to kill the opponent.

Unless the opponent’s spiritual power exceeded Third Grade, they would have no chance to struggle.

It was an invisible and unstoppable method of killing.

But there was one drawback; it could not be used continuously.

Using this ability also consumed one’s own spiritual power, requiring at least half a day of rest before it could be used a second time.

As for the other Spirit Manipulation Technique that required his own understanding, although it was effective, it was still far from complete.

During this period, he completed two missions and earned some points, which he used to exchange for two more Black Other Shore Flowers.

However, even after using them, this Spirit Manipulation Technique was still just shy of perfection.

Don’t think that taking half a year to develop a Spirit Manipulation Technique is slow; you should know that a Spirit Master will develop only a few such techniques in their lifetime.

Generally speaking, from Second Grade on, one would come to comprehend a Spirit Manipulation Technique for each Realm.

Moreover, the power of a Spirit Manipulation Technique is directly proportional to the strength and Realm at the time of comprehension; the higher the Realm, the more powerful the resulting technique.

After all, these comprehended Spirit Manipulation Techniques combine the attributes of both Spirit Master and Artifact Spirit, ultimately transformation into a technique most suited for the two entities.

Although Xiao Zhan is currently Second Grade, his overall physical quality is not inferior to Third Grade.

Furthermore, the Spirit Manipulation Technique he was attempting to comprehend, mediated by the high-grade Spirit Grass, Black Other Shore Flower, had a very small chance of success, making its overall difficulty equivalent to Fourth Grade.

According to artificial intelligence simulations, the power of this Spirit Manipulation Technique, once fully comprehended, could easily rival that of Fourth Grade.

Therefore, although the progress was slow, Xiao Zhan was very happy in his heart.

Once successful, he would have a real trump card.

Now he didn’t have any points left, and there were no missions, so he planned to spend the next phase focusing on this final stage of comprehension.

He estimated that in about another month, he would be able to fully unleash this Spirit Manipulation Technique.

But just at this time, a mission came.

Xiao Zhan was speechless at the timing, but there was no helping it; he had to put it aside for now.

Wu Ya gathered the entire Special Service Team One, which, adding Wu Ya and Xu Wen, consisted of twelve people, or six pairs.

"A Demon Beast has appeared in Holy Spring Village, preliminarily estimated to be Fourth Grade. Our superiors have ordered us to set out immediately and deal with the beast."

"You have ten minutes to prepare. In ten minutes, we move out!"

"Yes."

Everyone responded and began preparing.

Ten minutes later, the team took a plane towards Holy Spring Village.
