Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 293: Severe Condemnation

"Hahaha."

Hose laughed out loud; from the sounds of it, Ghost Abacus had mentally acknowledged Xiao Zhan.

Nevertheless, it was normal for someone as exceptional as Xiao Zhan to be accepted.

But he also knew, while recognition was one thing, Ghost Abacus valued benefits over recognition, and Xiao Zhan would still need to fulfil his conditions to be acknowledged as his master.

After laughing, he looked at Li Tianshan, who was still striving to break through, and said, "Why would you not save such a good pill for your future master and give it to a dead man instead? What a waste."

"A waste?" Ghost Abacus retorted, then continued, "Spending money on the sharp edge, I don’t think it’s a waste at all."

Ghost Abacus touched the copper coins on his beard.

Though he lost a pill, it created a perfect opportunity for Xiao Zhan’s deadly strike.

This was not wasteful at all.

Hose nodded in agreement, "Indeed, not a waste. Do you have any more of those pills? Can I have one too?"

"No more."

Worried that Hose might think he was being stingy, he quickly added, "This pill is from Xiao Family’s Treasure Pavilion, it’s the only one in the entire pavilion."

Hose would take his word with a pinch of salt.

Merchants are full of tricks; none of their words are true.

Nevertheless, he wouldn’t continue to inquire, as the pill would be of no use to him anyway.

In the arena.

Li Cungao, now a Fifth Grade Spirit Master, looked at the Phoenix Pattern above his head and felt an unprecedented pressure.

This pressure terrified him, his heart raced because he had only experienced such intensity from the Family Head Li Quanxian.

But the Family Head is a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, and this Xiao Yu is merely Fourth Grade!

He fiercely looked towards Xiao Zhan, with disbelief in his eyes.

He couldn’t imagine how a Fourth Grade Realm Spirit Master could execute such a terrifying Spirit Manipulation Technique!

At the same time as he shuddered, his gaze turned to Li Tianshan, who was still breaking through; his shock turned to hesitation, but soon, the hesitation gave way to a tragic resolve!

He belonged to the Li family, consumed the Li family’s food, and would be the Li family’s ghost.

No matter why Li Tianshan was stupid enough to attempt a breakthrough under such circumstances, he would unhesitatingly carry out the Family Head’s order, which was to protect Li Tianshan!

He looked again at Xiao Zhan, who was executing the Spirit Manipulation Technique.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan moved to the next step; as the Phoenix Pattern formed in the sky, Xiao Zhan tossed the Flame Demon Scythe into the air, then clasped his hands together, while rapidly reciting a complex spell.

Immediately, as the Demon Scythe contacted the Phoenix Pattern, a lifelike Flame Phoenix emerged from the pattern!

With a cry of the phoenix, it spread its wings to fly!

Then dived straight towards Li Tianshan!

Seeing this scene, Li Cungao knew it was too late to attack Xiao Zhan, as the descending phoenix would mean that even if he managed to kill Xiao Zhan, Li Tianshan would also die.

And if Li Tianshan died, this duel would lose its significance.

So, he must save Li Tianshan!

With that in mind, he couldn’t worry about anything else; he summoned his Spirit Manipulation Energy, and an Artifact Spirit Longsword appeared in his hand.

Then, with a flash, he dashed at extreme speed towards Li Tianshan.

Fortunately, his speed was fast enough, thanks to always maintaining a certain distance from Li Tianshan.

At this moment, the Phoenix in the sky was almost upon him. His brows were furrowed, yet he did not hesitate. With a loud shout, his longsword danced in his hands, releasing fierce Sword Qi that formed blades of white light in front of him.

The blades of light converged to form a massive longsword!

"Ha!"

"Spirit Manipulation Technique, White Light Sword Shadow!"

With a swoosh, the massive longsword shot towards the Flame Phoenix!

"What is Li Cungao doing? In the battle between Xiao Yu and Li Tianshan, he dares to so blatantly break the rules, how reckless!" Li Cungao’s actions immediately provoked a lot of dissatisfaction from those present!

They loudly criticized!

"Li Cungao is just a referee, he must be instigated by the Li family corporation to have such gall!"

"When they can win they fight, when they can’t they cheat, the Li family corporation is shameless indeed!"

"I’ll join you in denouncing the Li family corporation, but let’s make it clear, bets are bets, no cheating, I bet on Li Tianshan winning, heh heh."

"..."

Such words reached Li Quanxian’s ears, filling his heart with anger, but he was not angry at the slander of these people, but furious over the stupid act Li Tianshan had committed!

He gave a look to the butler.

The butler nodded, then stepped forward and gathering his Qi, shouted to the noisy crowd, "Please do not misunderstand, Li Cungao’s actions are purely his own and have nothing to do with our Li family. After the match, we will severely hold him accountable!"

No one believed these words.

However, saying this still had some effect; the mocking voices quieted down a bit. After all, the dominance of the Li family was apparent, even if they didn’t believe, they couldn’t do much about it.

Of course, although some words are unbelievable even to dogs, some people are not dogs and hence might believe.

It also made the voices a bit quieter.

...

In the arena, the Flame Phoenix collided with the white greatsword.

Everyone thought that Li Cungao’s white greatsword would easily crush the Flame Phoenix, considering that Li Cungao was of the Fifth Grade Spirit Master realm, absolutely stronger than Xiao Zhan’s Fourth Grade Realm.

For a Fourth Grade to defeat a Fifth Grade, in the minds of many, was an impossible feat.

But only Li Cungao, the person involved, knew the immense pressure he was facing from this Flame Phoenix.

The overwhelming momentum, the scorching temperature made it impossible for him to feel the slightest contempt.

This was even more powerful than the Fifth Grade Spirit Masters he had faced before!

Suddenly, his pupils sharply contracted, a strong sense of palpitation instantly filled his brain!

In his view, the Flame Phoenix actually opened its mouth and swallowed the white greatsword.

The energy of the white greatsword was directly obliterated, having no effect on the Flame Phoenix at all!

This scene stunned Li Cungao!

"How... how is this possible!"

Fear spread from his heart to his face and then extended to his whole body, he frantically shook his head, his body trembling, and every part of him exuded disbelief.

"How is this possible? My Fifth Grade Spirit Master realm, unable to inflict the slightest damage on a Fourth Grade Spirit Master, how is this possible!"

He stubbornly refused to believe!

But that didn’t change the fact. After devouring the white longsword, the Flame Phoenix directly came in front of him.

He had no way to avoid.

Boom!
