The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 25 - 24: E-level Authority·Officer_1

When Ye Hanjun woke up, it was already noon the next day.

He had soaked in the bathtub for a whole day and night.

"Splash—"

Like a fish turning over, Ye Hanjun surfaced and spat out the air pipe from his mouth.

Taking a deep breath, fresh air filled his lungs, and a long-anticipated refreshing sensation rushed to his mind, making him feel comfortable all over.

"Yiye?"

The stone on his shoulder fell to the bottom of the bathtub, and the little tadpole was awakened by the movement.

It immediately deactivated its skill, flicked lightly, poked its snowy little head out, looking for the big tadpole.

"Huh?"

Ye Hanjun cast his gaze downward.

First, he saw a pair of tiny eyes shining brightly.

Then... the little tadpole had grown!

Originally, the length from its head to its tail was only two centimeters, now it was close to three centimeters, the difference was obvious.

"Ice Skin Jade Dew, is indeed suitable for you..."

Ye Hanjun touched the little guy’s head and murmured to himself.

"Beep!" A jet of water flew over, no longer aiming at his nose, but hitting his forehead.

The force was like being flicked lightly by a flying plastic bottle cap, not painful, but a little itchy.

Ye Hanjun laughed, pushed his palm forward, and stirred up bigger splashes.

From the perspective of the little tadpole, it must have looked like a huge wave sweeping over, overwhelming and pressing down on it.

But the little guy was quick to react and instinctively burrowed under the water, easily avoiding Ye Hanjun’s big wave palm.

When the water surface calmed down, it floated back up, its little head swaying from side to side, looking somewhat contented.

"Grow up quickly, grow quickly. "

"Wait until you grow hind legs, then grow forelimbs, that means you’ve passed the development stage and officially entered the young frog form. "

Ye Hanjun played with it for a while, regardless of whether the little guy understood or not, he exhorted:

"For other frog species, it takes as short as two or three months, or as long as one or two years, to go through this stage. "

"I know nothing about you, the relevant cultivation must be independently explored. You need to put in more effort and show me the power of the Pure Fond Spirits sooner. "

"Yiye..."

The little tadpole tilted its head, not understanding.

Ye Hanjun played with it for a while, put it back into its original fish tank, and turned around to seriously examine himself.

After consuming half a bottle of Ice Skin Jade Dew, the burnt skin had almost completely healed.

Even the skin, which was sickly white a day before, now had a hint of aqua blue, looking slightly healthier.

But Ye Hanjun was still unsatisfied, as he clenched his fist and raised his arm, he still couldn’t see the outline of his muscles.

You should know that he has been training his body since he was a child, and has laid a solid foundation at the Mortal stage.

Just because of the misplacement summoning, he was forced to sleep for four years.

Once awake, his strong physique was gone.

He was just like a sickly scholar, full of knowledge but lacking in physical strength.

He could hardly adapt to this feeling of falling into the abyss, even after being awake for three short days.

"You have to eat food bit by bit, and walk step by step. "

"I should be grateful that there was an Elder paids close attention to the Blood Covenant ceremony and took measures in time. "

"If it were an ordinary person, they would have definitely died on the spot. "

"Being alive means infinite possibilities, cherishing the present is what truly matters..."

Ye Hanjun stood there, putting on his clothes meticulously in front of the mirror.

After some pondering, he greeted the little tadpole and left the villa once again.

When he got off the carriage being pulled by a golden rat, what came into his view was a 500-meter tall white tower. The cross emblem at the top of the tower was shining in the sun, exuding a holy and inviolable aura.

Looking down further, the eight red characters of "Disabled Fond Spirits Assistance Centre" were even more eye-catching. Passersby would always salute when they see it, and no one would feign ignorance.

"This is it, let’s try our luck."

Ye Hanjun nodded, looking forward to what was to come.

Cross Old Street and Blind-Box Commerce, maybe as Sikong Wei and Da Mu’er said, there might be better choices.

However, the unfortunate and embarrassing fact was that the Spirit Stones Ye Hanjun had were limited.

In such a clearly expensive place, even if he set his heart on a Fond Spirit, he would have to rely on other means to obtain it.

The Disabled Fond Spirits Assistance Centre was different.

There might be no potential for development, there might be no Contract Value.

But this was just one side of the story, before Ye Hanjun saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t easily agree.

"Make way, it’s emergency! Emergency!"

"The owner of this Blue Heron had a conflict with someone in the training hall, they agreed to a battle, but accidentally got killed."

"The Blue Heron participated in the fight and was already injured, plus the owner’s death caused a backlash, and it has now fallen into a comatose state and is on the brink of death. If it’s not rescued soon, I’m afraid it won’t make it through tonight..."

A young Patron rode a wild boar with a thick cotton pouch on his back to the entrance of the assistance center. His anxious expression and the sweat drenching his feet told enough of his desperation.

With trembling hands, he opened the cotton pouch on his back, revealing a blood-covered blue bird, its head drooping and eyes closed, seemingly struggling for breath.

"Its wing bone is completely shattered, such a pitiful creature."

"Even if it survives, whether it can fly or not will be a problem. Is there really a necessity to save it?"

A whisper from a passerby was met with a hushed warning from another:

"Shh, keep it to yourself, don’t say it out loud."

"This is the Disabled Fond Spirits Assistance Centre. They say compassionate Patrons run it."

"As long as the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits still have a breath left in them, they will attempt to revive them. They won’t let them die easily in the academy... "

Ye Hanjun’s perception exceeded that of ordinary people. He could perfectly capture every word uttered in whispers within a hundred meter radius.

Before another passerby could respond to the warning, a bald man rushed out. A glance at the blue heron and his thick eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"Take the emergency passage with me. We will arrange for medical Fond Spirits and healing Fond Spirits to help immediately."

"Thank you! The owner of the blue heron is my close friend. He is already dead, I can’t bear to see his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit follow him to hell!"

The young Patron looked mournful, pack away the wild boar and hurried into the aid center, carrying the dying blue bird.

Other passersby sighed a little, but soon lost interest and dispersed, adopting a detached attitude once they realized there wasn’t much spectacle to watch.

Ye Hanjun shook his head silently. According to his judgment, unless a 3rd rank Patron or a Rainbow Light Fetus level Fond Spirit performs a healing skill of over five hundred marks, this blue heron would at most survive for a day or two.

The chances of avoiding death were truly slim.

...

Cutting off unnecessary thoughts, Ye Hanjun started walking again, entering the Disabled Fond Spirits Assistance Center from the main passage.

The air that met him was very dry, giving the illusion of bathing in morning sunlight. Warm but not scorching.

A sweet smell of flower petals mixed with dew wafted from all corners. That should be the Flower Dew Grass, the juice of this plant has antibacterial properties. Although not highly potent, it was more than enough for cleaning.

"Woof...woof! Woof!"

Suddenly, a black shadow lunged from the right front, accompanied by a foul odor which immediately triggered a sense of warning.

Ye Hanjun lowered his eyes a little to hide his fearless expression. He spread his hands to the sides and stood firm like a rooted tree.

"Growl...growl..."

A large dog lunged at him, about two meters long. When it landed on all four of its feet, the height of its head was level with Ye Hanjun’s chest.

Its sharpened conical horns and the intimidating aura it projected were unavoidable. The exposed fangs surpassed three inches.

The hot saliva dripping from its mouth created a burning sound as it hit the floor.

This was a Big Horn Dog! A Rainbow Light Fetus stage wild beast!

At this distance and rank, any one of its attacks could inflict fatal damage to Ye Hanjun!

"Young man, you seem new here, what brings you here?"

A shadow fell over him from the front, looking up, it was a man.

The man’s humongous size left a strong impression. His towering height of over two meters two cast an imposing aura, further accentuated by his muscular build.

Ye Hanjun glanced briefly at the burly man and then at the Big Horn Dog sniffing him. He quickly understood the situation.

"I just became a Patron, came here to take a look, to see if there’s a chance to form a contract."

"Oh, I see,"

The burly man crossed his arms, looking down at Ye Hanjun. He nodded his head without appearing intimidating or overly friendly and said in an indifferent tone:

"You’re welcome to look around, a lot of new faces come here each day. "

"But remember, don’t go into the treatment rooms without permission, don’t disrupt public facilities, and don’t make a lot of noise... If you break these rules, I have the right to throw you out, keep that in mind."

The burly man clapped his hands and the Big Horn Dog immediately left Ye Hanjun and followed him.

"Officer? Good authority..."

"But the Big Horn Dog is a bit ordinary. Without any new opportunities or help, it most likely will remain stagnant in this life..."

Accustomed to making quick judgments, Ye Hanjun raised his head to survey his surroundings.

Using his sharp vision, he could quickly identify two more burly men and an equally tough woman in the crowd.

The smallest among them was just over two meters while the tallest exceeded two meters three. They stood out in any crowd due to their height.

Additionally, they had one more thing in common.

The Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits that followed them were all dogs. Aside from the Big Horn Dog, there was a Black Stone Dog, a Wolf Tooth Dog, and a Long Hair Dog.

This unique external feature confirmed that these four Patrons tasked with patrolling and investigating were all ’Officers’.

This was a standard E rank authority. The Passive Ability ’Herculean’ granted them a formidable physique far beyond an ordinary mortal, as soon as they awakened their authority.

On top of this, another Passive Ability ’Loyal Partner’ must be activated after entering a contract with a canine Fond Spirit.
