The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 3 - 2: Dead-last Qualification and Golden Physique_2



Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Dead-last Qualification and Golden Physique_2

The more he thought about it, the more his heart pounded, making him feel as if the world was upside down; the man before him was a complete madman.

"Master Jia, I mean no jest, nor am I joking.

Ye Hanjun shook his head, surveyed the surrounding street scenes, and unhurriedly said:

"My occupation is called an 'Instructor', it naturally suits a mentor-like role."

"On the other hand, being a student does not contribute in any way to my growth."

"That's not right either; you're but a young novice, how could you possibly instruct the elite students of our academy?"

Jia Pengpeng shook his head like a bobblehead, looking at Ye Hanjun with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

Yet, Ye Hanjun remained calm, coolly saying:

"My rank is not high, only E-class."

"But I'm not a 'Passive Awakener'."

"Master Jia, you should understand the weight of that statement."

"Not a Passive Awakener?"

Jia Pengpeng's face slightly changed, mulling it over three times; his impatience, misunderstanding, and frustration... rapidly vanished from his brows.

He stared straight at Ye Hanjun's black pupils as if he had discovered a rare treasure. Carefully, he probed:

"Could it be... you're an Active Awakener?"

Active Awakeners- much rarer than Passive Awakeners!

Their occupations are usually not too bad, with the lowest quality being E-class.

But compared to Passive Awakeners, what's crucial is their additional 'Blood Pact Summoning' capability.

Imagine the situation of same-rank Patron with only one Fond Spirit. Active awakeners have an additional 'Blood Pact Spirit Fond'. How huge is that gap?

"But that's not supposed to be the case. Theoretically, all Active Awakeners awaken automatically at 16, and those who delay until 17 are extremely rare cases."

"20 years old, how can that be possible..."

"Master Jia, you are subjectively judging again."

Ye Hanjun couldn't help but laugh, "My coming here at 20 doesn't mean I awakened my occupation at 20."

"In the end, it all comes down to the poisoning accident I mentioned earlier."

"I encountered an accident on the way here, which caused me to fall into a coma for four years."

"After barely recovering, I came to the Blue Frog Kingdom as soon as possible."

"...Such a 'lucky encounter'?"

Jia Pengpeng remained stunned for a long time, murmuring in disbelief:

"There is no trace or aura of any contracted spirit fond spirits on you, who would have thought you had such a twisted journey..."

"It's too surreal, have I really encountered the highest tier 'Golden Physique'? It's the first in my thirty years of service..."

It took him a whole minute to digest this information.

As a touch of rosy glow filled his cheeks, his attitude did a complete 180-degree change, treating Ye Hanjun with far more respect than before:

"Mr. Han, if I have offended you previously, please do not take it too heart."

"I'm unrefined in many ways, the blame is all mine, please bear with me."

"You're exaggerating."

Ye Hanjun smiled and asked:

"About the job application for the instructor position, who has the authority to make the final decision?"

"This..." Jia Pengpeng's expression stiffened again:

"Mr. Han, let's be frank."

"You are an Active Awakener, even if you lost four years of growth time, even if your occupation level is not particularly impressive, you can still stand out in the academy and shine brightly just by your unused Blood Pact."

"But in our Canghai Pavilion, only those who possess special occupations, or tutors who can provide special knowledge answers, are allowed to stay in the second rank."

"All other on-duty tutors are all of the third rank, and the spirit fonds they contract with are mostly Jade infant fetus."

"And the cream of the crop among tutors, those star tutors most admired and pursued by students, are said to be the ceiling of the third rank, infinitely close to 'Title Patrons'."

"You... have no competitiveness!"

"Canghai Pavilion has never had a case where a Patron under 26, who hasn't contracted with any spirit fond, served as a formal tutor!"

"Rules are made by humans, as long as I have the ability to do the job, I still have the opportunity to fight for it."

A small smile appeared at the corner of Ye Hanjun's mouth as he suggested again:

"Lead me to someone who can make the decision. Regardless of the result, I'll remember your kindness."

"How about I take you to Director Jiang?"

Touching his brows after thinking for a good while, Jia Pengpeng hesitated:

"The true power-holder in the academy, I do not have the privilege to meet."

"Those vice-principals, are usually elusive like a dragon, finding them would be more difficult than reaching the sky."

"While Director Jiang Yongnian may not be a star tutor, he has dedicated most of his life to the Canghai Pavilion, and therefore has special authority in many instances."

"If he approves and agrees, there may be a chance to break the rule."

After a pause, Jia Pengpeng emphasized:

"He is also the only high-ranking individual I can reach."

"Mr. Han, are you confident?"

"It's worth a try."

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly:

"If I break new ground in the academy, Master Jia will have helped a lot."

"...If it fails, please Mr.Han, do not force it."

Jia Pengpeng gave a bitter smile, apparently not expecting much from this journey.

"Mr. Han, Director Jiang likes a quiet environment, so he lives on the far east side of the academy."

"If we walked from here, we wouldn't get there before it gets dark. How about we ride my Contracted Spirit Fond?"

As he spoke, Jia Pengpeng led Ye Hanjun, turning off the main road into a deserted alley.

He then shook his sleeve, revealing a black arm. Just enough to see a feather-shaped tattoo that was a foot long and two fingers wide.

"Come out! Da Xiong!"

"Whoosh-"

The feather-shaped tattoo was originally dark red, clinging tightly to his skin.

As a circular formation with a diameter of ten meters was quickly formed and a hazy mist rose, it suddenly came to life and radiated a bright crimson light.

"Caw! Caw!"

As the light faded, a huge creature appeared from the formation, standing like a wall in front of Ye Hanjun.

It craned its neck, emitted an excited shriek, then flapped its massive wings. The sand and stones on the ground were blown away, the green plants in the corner shivered, even Ye Hanjun's black hair danced wildly with the wind, making his snow-white face appear even calmer.

"Talent Identification!"

As he silently recited in his heart, the tranquil world of his soul displayed a set of succinct text.

Ye Hanjun did not need to read it word by word. The moment the text formed, he was able to interpret its meaning thoroughly with his entire knowledge.
