Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 147 Jiang Xian’er, SS Class

Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Jiang Xian’er, SS Class

The next day.

At the enrollment office for the Grand Competition at White Emperor Spirit Academy.

Lin Dong, looking to heighten his sense of participation, immediately spotted Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, whom he hadn’t seen in a year.

Thrilled beyond words.

"Boss, you’re actually back! I thought you were in prison!"

"Who’s your boss? Stop calling out randomly, and don’t forget about our one-year bet."

Mentioning this, Lin Dong’s face turned red with embarrassment, having been blinded by folly, trying to challenge authority.

Now understanding the situation, he no longer had the guts to do so.

"Come on, Boss, don’t tease me. How could I dare to challenge you now? Even if you gave me a hundred years, I wouldn’t be your match."

With that said, Lin Dong turned to look at Ye Youlong beside him.

"Hello sister-in-law, it’s been a year, you’ve grown even more beautiful."

Hoping to use flattery to ease the relationship.

Ye Youlong ignored him.

"Stop kissing up, I call the shots in my house."

Xiao Zhan imperiously declared his household throne.

Ye Youlong quickly played along.

A shadow crossed Lin Dong’s eyes. Was this one-year promise really so grudge-holding?

Xiao Zhan ignored him and then handed his information to the registration desk.

The registrar took the information, looked at Xiao Zhan, and appeared slightly surprised.

He recognized Xiao Zhan.

After the freshman competition had ended, Xiao Zhan had been taken away. Everyone thought he’d been banished to the frontier or thrown into prison. Surprisingly, he had returned.

Quite the rarity.

However, this was no strange occurrence for him. If someone from the eight great families were to actually end up in prison, now that would be strange.

Registered, Xiao Zhan was ready to leave.

But at that moment, he encountered an acquaintance.

Zhao Long.

"Congratulations, I heard you made a big splash in the Secret Realm, achieved great things for the Federation, and were specially invited into the Special Service Bureau. I didn’t expect you to come back."

Zhao Long’s tone was somewhat sardonic.

As a member of one of the eight great families, he naturally knew some inside information.

Xiao Zhan’s display of dominance in the Secret Realm led to immense praise from the Federation, the liberty to enter the Secret Realm at will, and training privileges in the Special Service Bureau.

Such treatment made others green with envy!

Zhao Long’s words caused the gobsmacked Lin Dong, who had been ready to watch the drama unfold, to show a stunned expression.

"Boss, you guys actually joined the Special Service Bureau?"

"Then why would you come back?"

Students who graduate from the academy usually end up in military, special services, and a series of other Federation functional departments.

Since Xiao Zhan had already joined, he had no need to come back.

Xiao Zhan ignored him and just looked at the unfamiliar Artifact Spirit beside Zhao Long, a bit puzzled, "Where is Jiang Xian’er?"

Hearing this name, Zhao Long’s face changed immediately, as if he had stepped on a cat’s tail, anxious.

"What’s it to you?"

"It’s none of my business."

Xiao Zhan likely already knew the answer.

Surely she was poached away by someone.

Seeing the mocking expression on Xiao Zhan’s face, Zhao Long became even more irate.

"Hmph, what are you so proud of? Don’t think just because you’ve been in the Special Service Bureau for a year, you’re something special."

"You came back especially for the Secret Realm rewards, didn’t you?"

"You’re overthinking it. This isn’t the freshman competition; even if you are a Second Grade Spirit Master now, so what? There are plenty of Third Grade here in this academy, don’t even dream about entering the Secret Realm again!"

Drooling nonsense, impotent rage.

But at least you have a bit of self-awareness.

"My affairs are none of your concern; you should just focus on guarding your Artifact Spirit, lest someone else steals it away from you."

Xiao Zhan had no desire to waste words on him.

Having said that, he took Ye Youlong’s hand and walked away.

Zhao Long watched their retreating figures, his chest heaving with unresolved resentment!

Lin Dong quickly caught up with Xiao Zhan, his eyes shining with surprise, "Boss, you actually broke through to the Second Grade?"

"Is that so surprising?"

Lin Dong nodded and then hastily shook his head.

"It’s surprising, but not for you and sister-in-law."

Xiao Zhan just smiled.

Then Lin Dong added, "Boss, I have something to tell you, Jiang Xian’er’s Artifact Spirit Level has gone up to SS level."

"SS level?"

Xiao Zhan stopped in his tracks, truly astonished.

Advancing Talent Levels is no easy feat. It’s okay at the lower levels if you have money and resources. But at the higher levels, it’s a different story. It’s about money and resources, but not entirely.

It’s more about talent and probability.

Jiang Xian’er is not lacking in talent. Even among the S-level, she is at the top.

Xiao Zhan believed that there would come a day when she’d reach SS level, but it’s only been a year, and she’s already advanced. Wasn’t that a bit too fast?

Seeing his astonished expression, Lin Dong hurriedly explained.

"Boss, you have no idea how strong Jiang Xian’er is!"

"In our batch of new students, she has firmly held the top rank with her S-level talent, earning her many rewards from the academy!"

"They say she invested all these rewards in enhancing her talent, disregarding her cultivation realm, relentlessly working on her talent!"

"And in the end, she really succeeded, breaking through to SS level in just over half a year! This shook the entire academy!"

"Now, Jiang Xian’er is a celebrity within the academy, with many people vying to form a contract with her."

As he spoke these words, Lin Dong’s eyes were filled with immense envy.

Back then, Jiang Xian’er had been his Artifact Spirit.

But now, she had reached SS level, and her realm was also Second Grade Spirit. Meanwhile, he hadn’t even touched the threshold of the Second Grade Realm.

Both were at the S level, so why was there such a big gap?

What a twist of fate.

After hearing all this, Xiao Zhan was also surprised by Jiang Xian’er’s achievements.

However, what he admired most was Jiang Xian’er’s audacity, daring to invest all her resources into talent enhancement.

Such behavior, for someone of S level, was nothing short of gambling with life!

If she won, the benefits were naturally unspeakable.

If she lost, it amounted to wasting a year of precious cultivation time! And there would be a chain reaction, as all the accolades she could have gained later would be lost.

Xiao Zhan truly admired such audacity.

"So, after she advanced to SS level, she got taken away by someone else again?"

Lin Dong shook his head, "Not exactly ’taken away,’ she pursued it willingly."

He thought of the time Zhao Long stole his Artifact Spirit and realized that it was actually quite normal.

One’s lack of strength is the real sin, no one else to blame.

Just like Xiao Zhan, as long as you’re awesome, beauties will throw themselves at you, high-quality ones at that, and they won’t leave no matter what.

A guy like Xiao Zhan, if he were in a novel from the ancient era, absolutely had the protagonist’s halo.

So he, Lin Dong, decided to stick close to the protagonist and be a loyal henchman.

When one man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to the heavens.

As long as Xiao Zhan wasn’t like the third brother, then his own future was absolutely set as a big shot.

"You seem to take a very open view of it."

"Once you’ve been through it, you understand," Lin Dong had indeed come to terms with it.

Xiao Zhan smiled, holding Ye Youlong’s hand as he slipped it around her waist, "You sure know a lot, not like me, who knows nothing."
