Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 36: Easily Winning Consecutively, Entering the Top Eight
Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Easily Winning Consecutively, Entering the Top Eight
Ding!
Xiao Zhan swung the Death Demon Scythe in his hand, and Ma Li’s blade collided with it, but was sturdily blocked.
Ma Li was shocked, feeling from the Artifact Spirit that Xiao Zhan’s strength was surprisingly powerful. Clenching his teeth, he increased his strength, trying to break through Xiao Zhan’s defense.
However, Xiao Zhan remained unmoved, allowing Ma Li’s Spirit Manipulation Energy to surge to its limit, his face flushed red, while Xiao Zhan remained calm and immovable like a mountain.
Even his hair wasn’t stirred.
Holding the Death Demon Scythe straight out, its unique length easily kept Ma Li at a distance of three meters.
From the audience’s perspective, this scene looked like a tall, strong man effortlessly pinning down a short, small elementary school student with one hand.
"One inch longer, one inch stronger. It’s not just an inch longer for Xiao Zhan; he’s practically a whole ten feet taller!"
The students exclaimed.
At the same time, their faces showed waves of envy. Setting aside quality, just holding such a huge scythe in hand was extremely cool.
On the combat stage.
Ma Li’s attacks were unsuccessful, anger growing on his face, he decided to retract his attacks and gather strength for another strike.
But at this moment, Xiao Zhan made his move a step faster.
The Death Demon Scythe drew a large circle in the air, a whooshing sound near his ear, and it appeared on Ma Li’s side, fiercely striking towards him.
Ma Li’s eyes twitched, surprised by the unexpected speed, immediately raising his sword horizontally in front of his chest to block!
Holding the sword hilt in one hand and the blade with the other, using both hands to block, he dared not be careless.
As expected, the Death Demon Scythe struck on the longsword.
Bang!
Ma Li’s expression changed drastically, his pupils shocked!
This terrifying strength...
He hurriedly urged all his Spirit Manipulation Energy, but the power released from the Death Demon Scythe was unstoppable, like a truck crashing into him, directly bending the longsword pressed against his chest.
A tearing pain came from his chest; before he could react, he spat out, and he was flung from the stage like a kite with its string cut!
Thud! He flew off the combat stage and crashed heavily onto the ground!
His longsword slipped from his grasp and turned into Wang Qin, who was also weakly lying on the ground.
Ma Li covered his painfully chest, looking at Wang Qin, both seeing intense shock and fear in each other’s eyes!
Xiao Zhan’s strength was too powerful; just one strike sent them flying hard.
Moreover, the two of them had no power to resist!
Is this really a combination of F-grade and SSS-grade?
They could hardly believe it.
At this moment, medical staff came swiftly to check their injuries; fortunately, it was only rib fractures, nothing serious.
The scene went silent for a moment!
This event happened too quickly, and clearly people’s brains didn’t react in time.
However, the referee was the first to react, "This match, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong win!"
As his words fell, the atmosphere below the stage changed from silence to buzzing, as students began discussing animatedly.
"What the hell just happened, it was resolved in one move? Wasn’t it said that Xiao Zhan was just an F-grade waste?"
"Exactly, very confusing. There are rumors that he is not, and judging from the strength they have shown just now, I indeed also think he is not."
"I also think he is not, but I’ve never seen an SSS grade Artifact Spirit before, and I don’t know how powerful it really is. The information about SSS grade in books is also scarce, it could also be that the SSS grade is so powerful that it made their victory seem effortless."
"It makes sense, after all, SSS grade is one in ten thousand, and S grade is much more common, the gap in quality between them is not just worlds apart, but probably is also an insurmountable chasm. Xiao Zhan might have been crushing the early stages with SSS grade quality."
There was a lot of speculation.
But no matter how the crowd speculated, at this moment, many who previously looked down on Xiao Zhan had also silently turned solemn.
Strength is always the best way to shut people up.
Among the crowd.
Zhao Long and Jiang Xian’er also witnessed this scene.
"Killing two S grade with one move, and so cleanly at that, Xiao Zhan’s strength might have also reached that of a First Grade Spirit Master."
Jiang Xian’er looked at Zhao Long, her mouth expressing worry, but her expression didn’t show the slightest concern.
On the contrary, it was very calm.
Zhao Long’s brows carried a hint of scorn as he replied, "So what if he is a First Grade Spirit Master? I’ve been prepared for everything, if they hadn’t reached that level, it would actually have been less fun for me."
"Are you so confident? Aren’t you afraid of unexpected events?"
Zhao Long stared into Jiang Xian’er’s eyes, laughed confidently, "Unexpected events? All effective unexpected events stem from a lack of one’s own power. When your power is sufficient to control all unexpected events, they can no longer be called unexpected."
Seeing Jiang Xian’er was about to say something, Zhao Long directly interrupted her, "That’s enough, it’s almost our turn to compete."
...
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong stepped down from the combat platform; there were more participants on the first day, so they only had one match today.
They planned to continue training with the remaining time today.
But just as they walked a little while.
Lin Dong came up with a surprised expression; beside him was a girl, his newly contracted partner.
"Damn, I wasn’t wrong about you, you just smashed the opponents with one scythe! Those two, I wasn’t even sure I could beat them!"
Lin Dong’s face was filled with excitement, happier than if he had won himself.
"Nonsense, if you could win, you wouldn’t be looking for me. Also, stop bootlicking, don’t forget we are enemies with a one-year pact."
"What one-year pact? The day Jiang Xian’er left me, our enmity ended, why would I still fight you? Besides, we’re now on the same side. We have only one enemy, and that is Jiang Xian’er."
"Stop!" Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand, correcting him, "I don’t have your mindset; obsessed with revenge. I just want to defeat all the opponents blocking my path to first place."
"I get it, I get it," Lin Dong smiled knowingly, "You’re the noble one, and I am the petty one, right? It doesn’t matter to me as long as you defeat Jiang Xian’er. That bitch, deceiving my feelings, despite how sincerely I treated her!"
Xiao Zhan was speechless, unwilling to argue with him.
Meaningless words, meaningless people.
Simply a waste of time.
...
In the following days.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong’s matches went without any surprises, winning easily. Except for the first match against S grade Ma Li and Wang Qin, they were quite lucky afterward, facing mostly A and B grades.
Against them, all victories were achieved in one move.
Just like that, after a week.
The competition entered the final stages, from nearly five thousand pairs of participants, only eight pairs remained left.
