Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 54 Accepting the Mission, Entering the White Emperor Secret Realm
Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Accepting the Mission, Entering the White Emperor Secret Realm
Confronting students of the same realm, he was one hundred percent confident of victory.
But when it came to facing Death Soldiers, it was harder to say.
Mainly because he had never encountered them before.
Qin Wanfeng nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Zhan was very puzzled to see him act this way.
Qin Wanfeng said, "Sending you may not guarantee victory, but you’re definitely the best candidate."
Xiao Zhan stared at him, waiting for him to continue speaking.
Qin Wanfeng continued, "Although Death Soldiers are powerful, almost all of them have a weakness: their strength is relatively fixed!"
"Because the choice of Death Soldiers will never fall upon those with exceptional talents. The purpose of training Death Soldiers is for them to die a worthy death. Those with exceptional talents are meant to grow into pillars of the nation, bearing the responsibility of defending against Demon Beasts."
"So, Death Soldiers with low talent display a notable characteristic—they are skilled assassins but are much weaker in Spirit Manipulation Techniques than excellent students, especially those who are First Grade Spirit Masters. The gap is even bigger."
"Compared to them, you have an absolute advantage, and that is the Spirit Manipulation Technique!"
"This is something that even those with exceptional talents cannot master at the First Grade Spirit Master realm, but you can. Just this point alone is enough to overpower them. Moreover, according to the dean, your Spirit Manipulation Technique is very powerful."
Now Xiao Zhan understood why he was chosen.
In one word—strong!
How badass!
"And there’s another key point: you dare to kill. Currently, many students still lack this," Qin Wanfeng added.
After finishing, he suddenly stared into Xiao Zhan’s eyes, emitting a sharp look as if interrogating a criminal, word by word, "After killing someone and still remaining so calm, you must have killed a lot of people, right?"
It must be said that this sudden move by Qin Wanfeng caught Xiao Zhan a bit off guard.
If Xiao Zhan were indeed a suspect, perhaps he would have even been intimidated by him.
But unfortunately for Qin Wanfeng, Xiao Zhan was not.
Instead, Xiao Zhan slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, looking casually at his slender hand, "Maybe I’m just naturally suited for killing."
Naturally suited for killing?
The calm tone of these words, however, caused Qin Wanfeng’s mouth to gape open, and he was taken aback.
This kid...
Then, he burst into loud laughter, echoing throughout the detention room, even making the guards outside look curiously in this direction.
"Killing is good, I need someone like you who dares to kill, can kill, and knows how to kill!"
"If you couldn’t kill, I wouldn’t have chosen you!"
Xiao Zhan raised his head, "So you’re so sure I’ll agree to you?"
"No, no, no." Qin Wanfeng stopped laughing and shook his head, "Whether or not you agree is your own business, but I believe you will make the right decision."
"After all... Murder in the academy is a serious crime! With your high talent, the Federation Government still owes an explanation to countless students, doesn’t it?"
These words could not be said to be a threat, but they felt like one; strictly speaking, it was just stating a fact.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had high talent, and the future held boundless achievements for them, which meant they were never going to be sentenced to death.
But their behavior was too arrogant; killing a student in front of the entire academy—such blatant actions without any punishment would erode the credibility of the Federation Government.
Who then, in the future, would fight for the country?
Therefore, Xiao Zhan and his group were bound to be punished, only...
"I don’t seem to have a better choice, fine, I agree," Xiao Zhan said directly without much thought.
"Agreed so readily?"
Now it was Qin Wanfeng’s turn to be suspicious.
"Serving the country, isn’t it?" Xiao Zhan chuckled.
His words weren’t a joke. Before crossing over to this world, he was from Sichuan, having experienced that year’s great earthquake and been rescued by the children of the red revolutionaries.
After crossing over, he became an orphan and was also nurtured by the Federation Government.
So, serving the country was not an empty phrase to him.
Of course, there was also a practical reason.
That was because the four major colleges were affiliated with the Federation Government, and eighty percent of the graduates joined the military, with the remaining twenty percent entering various armed departments.
Xiao Zhan’s future also involved joining the military; his agreement now was just starting his service a few years earlier.
"When does it start?"
When asking this question, Xiao Zhan looked towards Jiang Wenfu.
Jiang Wenfu understood what he meant and smiled kindly, "Don’t worry, your reward from the Secret Realm won’t be missing."
Qin Wanfeng also said, "It’s set for a week later. After you come out from the Secret Realm, we will give you four days of special training. We certainly don’t want such a promising young man to die young."
"Don’t worry, I haven’t lived enough myself," Xiao Zhan replied.
"Alright, you two take a short rest before entering the Secret Realm. I haven’t visited my alma mater in a long time; I really miss it." Qin Wanfeng stood up, leaving them the rest of the time.
Xiao Zhan had been waiting here for several hours and had already rested enough.
He then said to Jiang Wenfu, "Dean, we are well-rested, let’s go straight into the Secret Realm."
Jiang Wenfu thought for a moment, feeling that time was indeed precious, "Okay, then enter now."
Thus, Jiang Wenfu rose and took Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong to the location of the Secret Realm.
The position of the Secret Realm was behind the academy’s mountain, guarded by specialized sentries.
Passing through a hidden bamboo forest and walking into a waterfall, behind the falls was the entrance to the Secret Realm.
"This Secret Realm was also discovered by chance. After exploration, we found it to be a relatively safe and incredibly resource-rich Secret Realm, which is why the academy was established based on this place."
"Also, when the Secret Realm was discovered, a White Tiger Demon Beast guarded it, so the academy was named White Emperor College!"
Jiang Wenfu introduced while activating the entrance to the Secret Realm.
The entrance of the Secret Realm emitted a soft white light, like a vertical mirror that rippled outwards from the center.
"Go on in, the White Emperor Secret Realm is a rewarding Secret Realm, with hardly any major dangers. Once inside, any treasures you find can be taken without limit in quantity."
"You have three days. After three days, you must come out on your own. If you exceed the time and do not exit, you will be severely punished and lose the qualification to enter the Secret Realm in the future."
Listening to this, Xiao Zhan felt his heart stir, "The quantity is really unlimited? Don’t regret it later, Dean."
Jiang Wenfu mysteriously replied with a smile, "Why do you think the Secret Realm only allows two people in once a year?"
Oh~
Xiao Zhan suddenly realized; he had forgotten about the term ’Ace Plan.’
He didn’t have a tangible impression before, but now he realized how seriously the academy was investing resources.
Seeing his sudden enlightenment, Jiang Wenfu couldn’t help but laugh softly again, "Besides, how much can you take? You can’t possibly empty the entire Secret Realm, can you?"
"Ha ha, that’s also true."
Xiao Zhan giggled naively.
He looked a bit silly.
Jiang Wenfu laughed along, but what he didn’t notice was the flash of a ruthless light in the depths of Xiao Zhan’s eyes.
