The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 331 - 170: Blood Covenant Ceremony (Wishing you a Happy National Day!)_1

The wind, brushing past the face, is quite refreshing.

Ye Hanjun gazes at the empty rooftop. After a slight pause in his steps, he walks to the edge and looks into the distance.

The weather is good today.

Laid-back clouds, brilliant sunshine, it might have been a nice memory if he was in the mood to stroll around the market.

Ye Hanjun quietly watches, watches.

This is the highest building in the Canghai Pavilion, the Shuiyue Tower. From this position, one can overlook more than half of the Canghai Pavilion. The view is unparalleled.

Old Du certainly has a taste for luxury.

Ye Hanjun smiles a little.

As the wind blows, his mind becomes ever more calm, as if all his restraints have been lifted, making him feel completely at ease.

"Old Pan, someone’s here, make an opening, will you?"

Du Yuanjia shouted, and on the spotless ground, a hazy mist suddenly appeared.

Behind the mist, as if there was a new world concealed.

There were no mountains, no water, no land, and no forests inside it, yet it was still brilliantly colorful, like a dream filled with unreal desires.

Ye Hanjun entered the formation through this voluntarily exposed entrance.

Du Yuanjia glanced at him, seeming to be surprised by his calm composure that surpassed his age.

But he did not say much and just followed along into the formation.

"Old Du, look! Yet another perfect masterpiece!"

In this motley dreamworld, a man floated in the air, his wrinkled face showing an infatuated expression, just like a lover looking at their beloved, his eyes filled with love and tenderness.

Du Yuanjia looked around and sighed with admiration.

Ye Hanjun, looking around, instead slightly frowned.

Where his eyes fixed, a super huge circular formation occupied the center.

The intricate patterns on it were dense, sometimes like ferocious beasts baring their teeth and claws, sometimes like little wriggling maggots, sometimes like neat and tidy common words of the Human Race...

Such formation would cause ordinary people to faint at a glance.

The 1st Order Patrons, if they don’t possess a power related to mental abilities, would feel dizzy and instantly lose their sense of direction when they look at it.

Ye Hanjun was unaffected. His perception could be compared to that of a 3rd Order elite Patron. Overlooking such a formation wouldn’t put much pressure upon him.

However, the faint feeling of something being wrong made him more vigilant, forcing him to scrutinize the formation with a more focused gaze.

"Look, every stroke, every line, is simply divine!"

"Really can’t comprehend how our ancestors in the distant past managed to fathom this formation. It’s so wonderful! So dazzling!"

Pan Zhong raised his arms, cheering enthusiastically.

He was definitely over a hundred and fifty years old, his gray hair startling.

But his zeal was like a reduced image of Tu Long.

The only difference was that one was fanatical for weapons and the other was fanatical for formations, their understanding and research on their respective fields differed widely.

"No... this formation is not perfect."

Ye Hanjun interrupted the cheer, and the words he lightly spat out shattered the dreamy atmosphere like a clap of thunder.

"Not perfect? How is it not perfect?!"

Half-crazed Pan Zhong immediately stomped his foot.

He rushed in front of Ye Hanjun, grabbed his collar, stared him in the eye, and violently demanded:

"Speak! What’s not perfect?"

"I spent more than half a month on this formation, every stroke was done by me personally! I created it all from nothing!"

"If you, a young whippersnapper, can’t give a convincing argument, I’ll throw you out and forbid you from using my formation!"

"Sir, I understand your reaction, but could you not be quite so agitated?"

Ye Hanjun didn’t try to struggle, instead, he replied calmly.

Pan Zhong was strong, extremely strong.

The D-class "Master of Array" is the most typical vocational path for "Array Masters". At first glance, it seems not to belong to battle-related professions, leaning more towards functional and research fields.

But in fact, both "Array Master" and "Master of Array", in the choice of Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, are undefined.

Once the formalities for Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits are completed, the properties and types of the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits will be reflected in different formations, their difficulty of crafting, and effectiveness. The combinations one can create offer great freedom.

Ye Hanjun had already seen the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit conjured by Pan Zhong.

It was a sturdy, crimson, yak-like beast covered in blood. It was brimming with murderous aura.

It was called Blood Bull, a pure Savage beast.

This type of Fond Spirit had mediocre defense and attack, but extraordinary vitality, easily ranking at the top among Savage beasts of the same Order.

And the one Pan Zhong nurtured... had already reached Life Wheel Virtual Summon!

Ye Hanjun could imagine that with the assistance of this Blood Bull, Pan Zhong was capable of crafting a large-scale formation by himself. He wouldn’t easily feel mentally exhausted nor give up halfway due to the complexities of the formation.

"Smack–"

Pan Zhong let go of Ye Hanjun’s collar, his bloodshot eyes staring at him, waiting for his explanation.

He appeared exceedingly aggressive, as if he would lose the little patience he had left if a single word was wrong.

In the end, he would rather waste resources and destroy the formation than to grant Ye Hanjun the rights to use it.

"The Blood Pact Array is the most renowned low Order formation, passed down from the earliest days of the Human Race to the present day. There is a wealth of information about it. Everyone can study it as long as they are interested."

"By chance, I happen to be one of those interested, and I know a little about it."

"Just now, as I overlooked the whole formation, I notice that the master of the 4th Order Array, who personally drew it, has done outstandingly in terms of the precision and the stability of the formation. It truly has reached perfection."
