All Things Are Contracts

Yunyao stood there like a beautiful statue, beautiful indeed, but without any hint of human warmth. She seemed untouched by any mortal air.

“This sister is so beautiful,” Baizhi couldn’t help but praise in the private box.

“Not just beautiful, her strength is also incredible,” Nangong Weilai looked at Yunyao with absolute fear. “Although White Cloud House is on par with Moon Reflection Pavilion, we all know Yunyao’s strength is not on the same level as ours.”

Alchemy Daoist frowned slightly, “Generally speaking, when humans crossbreed with other races, the offspring only inherit the talents of one race. But this girl is an exception. She inherited both the human race’s contract ability and the Bird Race’s innate abilities. The world is truly full of wonders.”

On the arena, Huan Xiaoyao from Night City was already trembling slightly.

“Well, I can’t just surrender directly, that would be too embarrassing,” Huan Xiaoyao thought this through and wasn’t so timid anymore. Losing is losing, but at least he had to fight with style and spirit. So, he jumped on the ground and actually burrowed into it.

“Earth tunneling?” Zhanyue frowned, not expecting Huan Xiaoyao to master the same earth tunneling ability as himself. He wondered how Huan Xiaoyao had acquired it.

Yunyao on the arena also frowned. She had actually lost Huan Xiaoyao’s aura. Even though she saw him burrow into the ground, there was no trace of his aura underground either.

People looked puzzled at Yunyao standing alone on the arena, not knowing exactly what had happened. Soon, there was a change on the arena. The ground under Yunyao’s feet shifted, and then her figure appeared outside the arena.

Huan Xiaoyao emerged from underground. His ability to control the earth had indeed caught her off guard and had an effect. Seeing Yunyao outside the arena, he finally showed a relaxed smile.

“What? What happened? How did he win?” The spectators were all confused.

However, Huan Xiaoyao’s smile quickly disappeared. He saw that the Yunyao outside the arena turned into a feather, her body vanishing. What he had moved out was just Yunyao’s clone?!

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind. Huan Xiaoyao’s entire body was enveloped in a spiritual energy cage, which directly sent him out of the arena.

“Yunyao wins!” Thunder Lord announced the result. He took a deep look at this unbelievably beautiful girl, her abilities were too strange. Huan Xiaoyao’s mysterious methods might have worked against others, but unfortunately, his opponent was Yunyao.

“Weilai, what exactly are Yunyao’s abilities?” Zhanyue asked curiously.

Nangong Weilai explained, “Sister Yunyao is highly skilled, with various abilities emerging one after another. I don’t know her true capabilities either.”

“Is that so? It seems Yunyao, Tai’e, and Fan Longyu are probably the strongest,” Zhanyue felt immense pressure. As the Illumination Goddess’s disciple, the gap between him and these people was really quite large, unless he wore the Silver Moon Armor. But the armor’s divine power was an external boost, not his own true strength. “I need to find time to refine that external avatar,” Zhanyue pondered. The external avatar was the fastest way to improve his strength.

“Brother Feng, I lost,” Huan Xiaoyao walked down from the arena, looking guilty as he spoke to Feng Bulang.

Feng Bulang gave Huan Xiaoyao a knock on the head, “Are you stupid? I told you earlier to just admit defeat. Now look, not only did you lose, but you also exposed your trump card. Others will be prepared in future battles.” Feng Bulang was somewhat exasperated. Using one’s trump card against an opponent they clearly couldn’t beat served no purpose other than exposing it.

Huan Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, realizing this decision might lead to his final elimination. “Ah, Brother Feng, it’s all up to you now.”

Ten of the twelve contestants had already shown their faces. This last battle was between Feng Bulang from Night City and Meng Huyue from White Cloud House.

Looking at the two on the stage, Zhanyue fell into reminiscence, “Feng Bulang? It’s him? And Meng Huyue? I remember now, he’s the horse-faced man.” Zhanyue saw the pen in Meng Huyue’s hand, which was his contract object. “These two actually met here, what a coincidence.”

Naturally, Zhanyue wasn’t the only one thinking this. Feng Bulang was happily looking at Meng Huyue opposite him.

“Brother Feng, long time no see,” Meng Huyue said politely. The two were already acquainted from Ghost Island.

Feng Bulang smiled, “Brother Meng, you’re really considerate. Knowing I can’t beat the others, you specially came here to let me advance.”

Meng Huyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew Feng Bulang’s personality. “In our previous sparring, I always lost to you. But now we’ve both entered the Profound Realm. I might not be inferior to you anymore.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s begin,” Feng Bulang smiled. He couldn’t beat White Cloud House’s Yunyao, but beating Meng Huyue should be easy, right?

Feng Bulang released his contract object, a kite hanging high in the sky.

“What’s this? This person’s contract object is actually a paper kite? It seems quite ordinary,” the audience discussed.

“Indeed, after seeing the abilities of others, he doesn’t seem so impressive. Is this person just here to make up numbers?” Kite contract objects were very common, as they provided flight ability and were often used for transportation. As for combat, they were quite average. So it was normal for people to look down on Feng Bulang.

Meng Huyue launched the first attack. He held his brush and wrote in the air. Whatever he wrote turned into a sword qi flying towards Feng Bulang.

Feng Bulang dodged nimbly, easily avoiding all attacks. Then he loosened the kite string in his hand, and the string directly entangled Meng Huyue’s body. The kite was about to drag Meng Huyue out of the arena.

“Brother Feng doesn’t think this method can defeat me, right?” Meng Huyue released the brush in his hand. The jade brush flew up, writing a ‘Cut’ character in the air, which turned into a blade qi, cutting the tough kite string.

“Thoughts Transform into Myriad Forms!” Meng Huyue pressed his advantage, his brush moving like a dancing dragon. Dozens of ink tigers appeared on the arena, vivid and lifelike. The tiger pack rushed towards Feng Bulang from all directions. Feng Bulang pulled back his kite, yanked hard, and his whole person flew up, standing on the kite. Then the kite transformed into a seven-colored phoenix in everyone’s eyes. The phoenix descended from the sky, circling the arena several times. The fierce tigers filling the arena all shattered, completely annihilated.

“Kun Devours the World!” Feng Bulang waved his hand, and the kite that had flown into the sky turned into a Kun Peng bird, descending from the sky, swallowing Meng Huyue in one gulp, then directly sending him out of the arena.

“This…” The people outside were dumbfounded. Was this still a kite contract object? Kites were just miscellaneous contracts, with the advantage of flight compared to other contract objects, but limited to that. How could Feng Bulang turn it into a phoenix and a Kun Peng? It was too outrageous.

“I didn’t expect an ordinary contract object could be developed to this extent. Amazing, truly amazing,” Thunder Lord looked at Feng Bulang appreciatively. Among all the contestants, Feng Bulang’s contract object was the most ordinary and common. It was really just a paper kite, yet in his hands, it displayed various mysterious abilities. Many people were excited watching this. If Feng Bulang could do it, could they do it too?

“In Group C, Yunyao and Feng Bulang enter the winners’ bracket; Huan Xiaoyao and Meng Huyue enter the losers’ bracket! Today’s competition ends here. The competition will continue tomorrow. May all contestants rest well,” Thunder Lord finally said.

As the competition ended, the venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers. They had never seen so many human prodigies before, each one a world-class genius. Today had truly been eye-opening.

Zhanyue was about to return to focus on his cultivation. Today had given him a great shock, finally seeing clearly the gap between himself and those top-tier geniuses. However, outside the private box, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, there was a man in luxurious clothes, handsome as a jade tree in the wind, already at the Spirit God Realm. But Zhanyue was certain he didn’t know him.
