Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 126 Assessment Begins

Ye Youlong at this point clearly understood his intentions, "If you want to take advantage of me just say it. It’s not like I won’t let you, is there any need for such roundabout tricks?"

"Romantic atmosphere, this is about romantic atmosphere. If I simply wanted to take advantage of you, why would we even come here? Isn’t it delightful to hold you in a blanket and nibble on you?"

"So, are you going to take this advantage, or not?"

"I won’t."

This time, Xiao Zhan put his foot down, talking openly about romantic atmosphere just fails to make it romantic, lacks flavor.

And thus, this advantage is no longer an actual advantage.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Youlong leaned in closer.

Xiao Zhan was taken aback; he could only endure this damn humiliation.

Eleven seconds later.

Ye Youlong backed away, looking into Xiao Zhan’s eyes with a teasing smile, "This extra second, I give it to you, hoping you’ll become as indifferent as me, faster."

Xiao Zhan wiped away the humiliating tear at the corner of his mouth, yet his heart was filled with a sense of satiation.

He intended to flirt but ended being flirted with instead.

Xiao Zhan really felt like he was utterly gripped, except he didn’t have that vulnerable spot; he lacked it by an inch.

"Woman, you’re playing with fire."

"If you have the guts, let’s have a bigger battle, three hundred rounds!"

"Reverse psychology?" Ye Youlong raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly, reverse psychology!"

"Then it’s not interesting, not playing."

"You... Ah!"

Xiao Zhan collapsed.

This wife of his was not cooperative at all, not fun, not the slightest bit fun.

...

Two hours later.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong walked out of the street designed for romance. As a man, one needs to learn how to be thick-skinned; a good woman is wary of a persistent suitor. So, even if Ye Youlong wasn’t up for it, Xiao Zhan, with skin thicker than a city wall, still managed to get his kicks.

Remember, this is not called acting rashly.

Acting rashly is pouring out your heart and soul and not getting anything in return.

Xiao Zhan was different; he got all the advantages just by running his mouth.

After coming out, they were ready to head back.

But a sudden glance revealed Liu Yuan sitting by himself.

"Why are you here? Where’s Xu Qing?"

Liu Yuan, seeing Xiao Zhan, immediately replied with a happy smile, "You guys are out, huh? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You sure know how to enjoy yourselves; I’m really envious."

Seeing him dodge the question, Xiao Zhan figured that Xu Qing had probably left.

"When did you come out?"

"I came out almost ten minutes after we parted ways. She said she felt a little unwell and went back. I had nothing to do by myself,"

"So soon?"

"Is it? I think it’s okay. Though not as long as you guys, but it’s not too bad, and I’m happy," Liu Yuan chuckled.

Completely oblivious to the real issue at hand.

Xiao Zhan looked at his naive smile and couldn’t help but shake his head.

He couldn’t resist and patted Liu Yuan’s shoulder, "Liu Yuan, if you still consider me as your sworn father, listen to me, A-grade toads are hard to find but A-grade women are a dime a dozen. Don’t hang yourself on one tree."

"Are you telling me to give up on Xu Qing? Why? She’s changed her attitude towards me. I won’t hang myself."

"It doesn’t matter if she changed her attitude towards you, the key issue is with you."

Xiao Zhan really wanted to crack open his head to see what kind of tofu dregs were inside.

"Do you know what hanging yourself means? Hanging, hanging; loser, loser; loser hangs himself, hanging a loser."

"If you’re a loser, even if she changes her attitude toward you, it’s only temporary. You’re bound to hang yourself later!"

"But I’m not a loser," Liu Yuan said earnestly and simply.

"A loser in mentality is still a loser!"

"I don’t believe it."

Liu Yuan refused to believe that he would hang himself.

He believed that this time Xu Qing truly changed her attitude towards him.

"Forget it, it’s pointless to explain to someone who possesses the sheep’s stubbornness."

Xiao Zhan was too lazy to continue the conversation.

A sheep doesn’t know it’s a sheep.

Waving his hand, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their dormitory.

Liu Yuan walked back with them, and then they all went their separate ways home.

A few more days passed like this.

The assessment began.

It was Qin Wanfeng who was in charge of this assessment. Normally, he wouldn’t need to personally oversee such matters, but he probably wanted to see how much Xiao Zhan had progressed, so he took the helm himself.

The assessment method was very straightforward.

It was about proving one’s strength through combat, with members of the Combat Department challenging those in the special combat squad, and the second team members challenging the first team. The winners would then take the losers’ place on the special combat team.

All participants gathered at the Martial Arts Square.

Men and women combined, there were roughly a hundred people.

At Qin Wanfeng’s command, the challenge officially started.

The second and first special combat teams were equal in number, and the Combat Department was still made up of familiar faces. Xiao Zhan recognized many of them, though some new faces had also joined.

"Hey, Zhang San, look at the special first team, isn’t that Xiao Zhan? Your chance has come," someone in the Combat Department crowd said to bald-headed Zhang San.

Zhang San was the one who previously provoked Xiao Zhan and ended up with a bitter taste in his mouth after being whipped by Yang Jian’s leg.

Now a Third Grade Spirit Master, Zhang San had grown stronger since half a year ago, but he also heard that Xiao Zhan had become a Second Grade Spirit Master.

He had suffered at the hands of Xiao Zhan even when Xiao Zhan was only First Grade. Now that Xiao Zhan has become Second Grade, truth be told, he was not very confident.

Those who had never fought with Xiao Zhan didn’t understand how terrifying he was.

But Zhang San had fought him and he knew very well.

So he shook his head, "It’s meaningless to bully the weak. Winning that way doesn’t bring honor. If I’m going to challenge someone, it’s going to be the strong ones. I’ve got my eyes on the fat guy. As for Xiao Zhan, whoever wants to go, can go."

His words caused the people beside him to suppress their laughter.

Everyone in the Combat Department knew that Zhang San was the one who enjoyed bullying the weak the most. Now that such a good opportunity had presented itself to get his revenge, he dared not take it, clearly showing his timidity.

But laughter aside, there were few who dared to challenge Xiao Zhan.

After all, they had all witnessed that fight back then. Although it didn’t affect them as deeply as it did Zhang San, they knew that ordinary Third Grade Spirit Masters probably couldn’t handle Xiao Zhan.

Some people are naturally inclined to challenge those beyond their level.

Nevertheless, there were still newcomers and some who were full of confidence in themselves who initiated a challenge against Xiao Zhan.

After all, no guts, no glory.

"Third Grade Spirit Master Xu Kuan, with his Artifact Spirit Miao Blade, challenges the special first team’s Xiao Zhan!"

A crew-cut man jumped onto the martial stage, wielding a black Miao Blade, imposing and awe-inspiring.

Seeing him,

the crowd below let out a communal murmur of amazement.

"The new king of the Combat Department this year, Xu Kuan, is the first one up. Why so impatient?"

"I thought he would play it safe and choose to join the second team first. Didn’t expect him to be so ambitious, aiming for the top in one go! But then again, with a Second Grade Xiao Zhan sitting there, if I had his strength, I’d make the same choice."

"Hmph, that kid is so arrogant and conceited just because he’s got some skill. Up there, I actually hope he loses!"

"We can’t think like that, after all, he’s a face of our Combat Department. If he loses, it would be a disgrace to us."

Xiao Zhan’s perception released, and he heard the news regarding Xu Kuan.

Joining the Combat Department for less than half a year, he defeated a host of rookies and veterans, becoming the fastest new king in history. With an S-grade talent and an A-grade Artifact Spirit, armed with a Miao Blade, he had created his own formidable Spirit Manipulation Technique.

He was identified as a seedling who is one hundred percent certain to join the first team!

Considerable resources had been invested in him.

Thus, his challenge caught the tense attention of many.

Xiao Zhan, however, just smiled.

Because it didn’t matter who the opponent was, his mission was to knock them all down.
