Chapter 15: I am Willing to Acknowledge You as My Master
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hmm?
“What’s wrong, senior? Do you think that it’s not enough? Is it too little? It doesn’t matter as I still have a lot here.”
After saying that, Zhang Yang took out another two or three bottles from his storage space and placed them in front of Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi looked as if it had seen a ghost.
Its right hand trembled as it raised its hand to indicate that it was unable to say a word.
Then, he fainted.
Behind him, Hua Xue’s eyes were filled with confusion when she saw Qiong Qi faint after trembling for a while.
“Brother Zhang, what exactly is going on? Why is it crying and laughing at the same time? It collapsed like it had a stroke.”
If Qiong Qi could wake up now, it would definitely use an extremely excited tone to tell Hua Xue that this was too f*cking ridiculous.
The Dao spiritual spring water was something that countless people regarded as a treasure. A single drop was enough to cause countless bloody storms in the triads.
‘Zhang Yang immediately pulled out three to five bottles. My f*cking heart wasn’t feeling well, so I fainted from fright.
‘Who knew that by merely avoiding my enemy’s pursuit, I encountered such a monstrous existence?’
A moment later, Qiong Qi finally woke up.
Then, it solemnly took the spirit spring water that Zhang Yang handed over.
After taking it, it bit the tip of its tongue, dripped a drop of its blood essence, and swiftly flew into Zhang Yang’s soul.
Hua Xue, who was next to it, looked as if she had been enchanted with a body-immobilizing talisman. She had long been stunned.
Was this a soul contract?
How could it be!
An ancient ferocious beast that had never acknowledged its master before actually acknowledged its master at this moment. This was truly the most bizarre thing in the Eastern continent.
After waking up, Qiong Qi, whose physical fitness had improved by quite a bit, did not notice the slight change in Hua Xue’s expression.
It looked at Zhang Yang with an incomparably serious expression, feeling that this was its own opportunity and good fortune.
No matter what, it had to grab hold of it. It absolutely could not let go, even if it had to sign a soul contract.
“Master, you can just call me Xiao Qi from now on. This is my soul contract.
“I will sign it with you now and acknowledge you as my master. I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life and will never betray you.
“There is a communication channel on this contract. As long as master says it in his heart, I will come instantly.”
“Ah, this!
“There’s such a function?!”
Although he was not surprised, he smiled and accepted this kind of intention.
Hence, the reward after curing Qiong Qi was the soul contract.
It was said that the Qiong Qi usually had a few hundred of them and acted at the same time.
The senior that was saved seemed to be a leader. In other words, there were hundreds of free goons and underlings.
This was indeed a wave of rewards.
Stable!
Strong!
Very comfortable.
However, Zhang Yang was still very humble. He did not raise his tail to the sky just because of this little achievement.
He did not treat Qiong Qi as his slave, even though it had already acknowledged him as its master.
In his heart, he still treated it as an elder.
On the other hand, Qiong Qi did not underestimate Zhang Yang just because he was young.
Under the friendly attitude of both parties, the conversation was as lively as master and servant. They just left Hua Xue aside and did not ask about it anymore.
Then, the two reluctantly said goodbye to each other.
“Brother Zhang…”
At this moment, Hua Xue’s expression was even more complicated.
In the past few days, all kinds of strange things had continuously happened to Zhang Yang.
She seemed to see a peerless monster.
“Well, what’s the matter?!”
Zhang Yang turned his head slightly, feeling a little strange.
“Uh, do you feel that your luck is a little strange?
“For example, your luck is a little too strong…”
“Ah!
“Is it?
“I don’t think so. Isn’t this very normal?”
Zhang Yang looked at Hua Xue, whose lips were twitching crazily. He felt that she was a little weird, so he asked such a strange question.
After spending so much time together, the relationship between the two of them had became somewhat close.
When Hua Xue heard this, her face stiffened.
In the past two days, he had not only taken out two peerless treasures from his inventory but he had also obtained the good impression and friendship of a top-tier big shot.
Before she could completely digest the influence, another ancient ferocious beast had appeared. It had even offered up a precious soul contract, worshipping him as its master.
This…
It was likely that those who were slightly lacking in mental endurance had already collapsed.
Even if they did not break down, they were probably thinking about how to kill and steal the treasure.
Was Zhang Yang not afraid of danger?
A series of extremely precious treasures were brought out so openly.
However, Zhang Yang had always been careless and did not notice these details.
“Oh!
“You’re talking about this. Isn’t this a very common thing?
“If you really want to find a reason, then perhaps I was born with good luck.”
Zhang Yang chuckled.
In the past two days, the reason why he had been so ridiculous was because his body refining attribute had reached a point where he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
He had not used any other divine abilities, but this one had already benefited him immensely.
Then, he used his spiritual sense to scan his gains over the past two days.
“You have scanned the soul contract. Bloodline boiling attribute +99.”
“The bloodline boiling attribute could remove all impurities in the body, allowing one’s cultivation to have a speed akin to flying.
“You have scanned a treasure map. Eye of the Celestial Emperor attribute +99.”
“The Eye of the Celestial Emperor can bestow the host with the wisdom eye that can see through everything.
“You have a new understanding. Body strengthening attribute +999.”
Not only that as there was also a new breakthrough in the other attribute points.
‘Understanding water control speed one?’
‘Understanding Lightning One Finger Zen?’
‘Understanding the Peerless Fate Protective Armor?’
When one understood a certain attribute, it would affect other attributes by analogy, forming a powerful system unique to cultivators.
However, in the Eastern continent, no one could do it for the time being. Currently, Zhang Yang was the only one.
After the cultivation system was opened up, when facing enemies and opponents, he had many more trump cards in his hands, which also gave him more confidence.
This was despite his current superficial strength that was at the level of ancient martial arts.
However, he did not know exactly how strong he was.
On the other hand, with his foundation here, it was impossible for him to become a god in one step and be able to kill the strongest expert in the cultivation world with one sword strike.
That was not realistic.
The cultivation world’s system was very strict. Every time one wanted to break through a level, there would be an extremely strong barrier.
For ordinary cultivators, if one’s strength increased by one level, their strength might not be able to surpass the suppression of the realm for the rest of their lives.
Even for those monsters with extraordinary talents, they would need to spend a lot of effort to level up.
She could feel Zhang Yang’s aura that was constantly rising.
Hua Xue sighed again in her heart, ‘A humanoid monster!’
…
A few more days passed.
Things had finally returned to their original appearance. There was no strange old men looking for them. There was no ancient ferocious beasts waiting by the side to give them a contract.
Hua Xue could not help but secretly sigh in relief.
“Alright, Brother Hua, the trial is just ahead. Do you want to go in with me, or shall we part ways here?”
“Thank you for your kindness, brother Zhang. I’m here to settle some private matters near the Heavenly Gate.”
“I’ll look for you after I’m done. Don’t blame me for being troublesome.”
“Alright, let’s not pass this time.”
Zhang Yang watched Hua Xue leave.
His heart was clear. Now, they were at the trial grounds, at the Devil Spirit Mountain Range.
It was filled with dangers and opportunities.
At the foot of the mountain, he could feel the incomparably majestic mountain peak. It was like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed, piercing straight into the ground. The clouds were halfway up the mountain, and the clouds lingered around it. It was like a fairyland.
It felt small being human at this time.
Just as he was about to enter, he was suddenly called out.
