The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 332 - 170: Blood Covenant Ceremony (Wishing you a Happy National Day!)_2

"However, I believe the ’backup energy’ is not sufficiently abundant."

"These magic stones are too small and too few in number, I’m worried that in the most extreme cases, if the formation overloads, this will affect the final Blood Covenant results..."

Upon hearing this, Pan Zhong’s expression eased considerably.

In professional fields, one can immediately distinguish between someone who truly understands and someone who pretends to know.

The fact that Lord Han could articulate the problem so clearly signified his understanding.

Nonetheless, Pan Zhong still furrowed his brows, contemplating for several tens of seconds before reluctantly rebutting:

"These magic stones are already of a high grade... and you still think they’re not enough?"

"Although the Blood Covenant ceremony is a large-scale array, its essence is classified as low-grade. It values the preciousness of the overlay of materials, not the difficulty of arranging."

"In order to ensure the ceremony is presented in the most perfect manner, Du has instructed me to prepare according to the highest standards, no shoddy work or cut corners, which means no cost savings. Yet, you still think it’s not enough?"

’Nothing to fear but fear itself’, Ye Hanjun remained unyielding.

The ’highest standard’ of the Canghai Pavilion was indeed lower than the ’regular standard’ of the Ye Clan.

Although it is a low-grade array, when arranged by the Ye Clan, the aim is the final success rate and the high quality of Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits. The common procedure includes heaps of backup energy.

Presently, the standard could be lowered, but Ye Hanjun, who had previously experienced summoning Aegifura in the wrong place, hoped to be more cautious and wouldn’t allow a hidden danger because of this minor issue.

"If he’s not satisfied, add another batch of magic stones."

"After all, things of energy nature could be recycled if not consumed. Let’s consider it as being prepared."

Du Yuanjia stood with his hands behind his back, suddenly relaxed.

He thought it was some serious issue that could challenge an Array Master and found it absurd.

He realized they were just short on magic stones and worried about the results. Was Lord Han suffering from a fear of failure? Satisfying him and starting the ceremony promptly turned out to be the best solution.

With the end in sight, Du Yuanjia didn’t bother to calculate whether the budget for the ceremony had seriously exceeded.

What he wanted to know now was what type of Fond Spirit Lord Han could sign a Blood Covenant with. Would his future potential skyrocket, or would it just rise slightly, resulting in regret and pity?

...

Pan Zhong, unwillingly, added more magic stones.

He wasn’t just one of the top five vice-chairmen of the Canghai Pavilion; he was also an authoritative figure in the field of formation.

Not to mention in the Blue Frog Kingdom, even in the Giant Frog Marsh, only a few could challenge him in this field.

Being questioned by a brat now, how absurd!

It should be mentioned that the previous student who had requested him to arrange the Blood Covenant ceremony considerably simplified it due to low-grade materials. And did the ceremony not progress well?

Suppressing his anger, Pan Zhong adjusted the formation details, completed it, then retired to the outer circle, observing it with the Contracted Spirit Blood Bull.

"I’ll remind you that there is a small Illusory Array outside the Blood Covenant array."

"No matter how the ceremony progresses, regardless of the anomalies that will emerge, outsiders won’t be able to see."

"Let’s begin promptly. I want to see what kind of ’surprises’ this famous new mentor, who has shaken the Canghai Pavilion’s north and south campuses, could bring."

Pan Zhong was not polite at all.

Ye Hanjun ignored him, confirmed that the formation met his expectations, and walked to the center position.

He stripped off all his clothes, including the Dimensional Space Bag, and placed them in a special storage area.

He then took the energy knife that connected to the formation in his hand, and gently made a cut on his chest.

"Whoosh~~~"

Blood gushed out, inundating half of his body in no time.

Ye Hanjun sat cross-legged at the central spot, letting the blood soak the formation patterns. When he saw the dazzling lights started to flicker, he closed his eyes, immersing himself in the perceived transformation of his body.

"Buzz buzz buzz——"

The Blood Covenant formation began to tremble wildly, without any opportunity for buffers.

Both Du Yuanjia and Pan Zhong were taken aback, with the two high-ranking elders momentarily losing their composure.

"Boom!!!"

A milky white lightning bolt struck down, causing the outer illusionary array to wobble unsteadily, as if it was struggling to support.

Before they had time to react, like opening a Demon’s Box, hundreds of white lightning bolts descended.

The illusion array constructed from haze didn’t even have any signs of resistance before it shattered in a twinkling. All the formation patterns were completely erased, leaving no trace at all.

"What on earth is this?"

Pan Zhong cursed and rode the Blood Bull away.

Parting from his humanity, Du Yuanjia stared wide-eyed, as if his eyeballs were about to jump out of their sockets.

"It’s well-known that phenomena definitely occur during a Blood Covenant ceremony, and it won’t be too simple."

"But what is this? The moment it starts, more than a hundred lightning bolts bombard the area. Did this boy do something that angers both man and god? Even heaven can’t stand it and wants to erase him promptly?"

Pan Zhong stomped his feet in anger after escaping far away.

The Calamity from the Sky was a minor event, as was the shock.

However, the thunderclaps that shook the heavens and earth and the crazy scattering of electric arcs activated the defense array of Shuiyue Tower, to resist the stray electricity with full force.

"Beep——Beep Beep Beep——"

This was the heart of the Canghai Pavilion. When it was under severe attack, alarm devices for disaster warnings throughout the college were automatically activated.

Students were shocked. It hadn’t been long since the incident with the Rotten Scholar Nie Zhuo, and another similar incident was happening?

"Stop everything at once! Hurry into the underground shelter!"
