Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 129: Assessment Ends

Xiao Zhan’s gaze swept over the people below, not a single person dared to meet his eyes.

He nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he had many ways to defeat Xu Kuan, but he chose the most direct and violent method, aiming to deter those below with impractical thoughts from challenging him again.

That would be a waste of his time.

By making an example of one, he demonstrated his strength and made his life much easier thereafter.

Xiao Zhan stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat.

The assessment does not allow consecutive battles without rest; each battle is followed by a break, although one can choose not to rest.

Xiao Zhan used his ultimate Spirit Manipulation Technique, which consumed a significant amount of Spirit Manipulation Energy, necessitating a rest.

However, even if he didn’t rest, it was unlikely anyone would dare to challenge him now.

Not everyone desires to experience the style of that move.

When he returned to his seat, there were still eyes filled with residual shock looking towards him.

Qin Wanfeng also nodded quietly, very satisfied with Xiao Zhan’s performance.

Yang Jian, sitting beside him, looked a bit solemn; Xiao Zhan’s Spirit Manipulation Technique had posed a threat even to him.

And he was a Fourth Grade Spirit Master.

It was somewhat shocking; in merely half a year, Xiao Zhan had grown so much.

Is this the shock that top-tier talent brings?

Wu Ya, who shared the same thoughts, always knew Xiao Zhan was strong and could play a pivotal role in the team.

But she never expected Xiao Zhan’s true combat power to be this formidable!

Especially the Spirit Manipulation Technique he just used, it left even her feeling somewhat perturbed!

"Wow, so you are this strong!"

After stepping down, Liu Yuan couldn’t help but express his admiration.

He always thought he was strong, but it turned out he was genuinely powerful.

The admiration was real, but so was the concern.

Looking back at his own progress over the past half-year, Liu Yuan hadn’t made significant gains, unlike Xiao Zhan’s monstrous improvement, who made new progress periodically.

"Fight well, and you can do it too," Xiao Zhan said with a slight smile.

Liu Yuan pouted, "Only you would believe that."

While they were speaking, a bald man stepped onto the martial arts stage, "I, Zhang San, challenge Special Combat Team’s Liu Yuan!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Yuan immediately showed a wry smile.

Everyone chooses the soft targets to pinch.

The softest appeared to be Xiao Zhan, but in reality, he was very tough, only that people did not know that yet.

Now that everyone knew he was tough, they could only pinch the second softest.

And that second softest was him, Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan subconsciously glanced at Xu Qing. In the past week, he wanted to advance their relationship, but although Xu Qing’s attitude changed a bit after accepting the Strong Spirit Fruit, the actual progress was similar to before.

He was now somewhat lacking confidence in his own strength.

Xiao Zhan noticed his concerns and patted his shoulder, "Don’t think too much, just do your best."

Liu Yuan looked at him, forcibly rallying some fighting spirit, "Yeah, I will."

He then stepped onto the stage.

Seeing his demeanor, Xiao Zhan knew he was likely to lose.

The battle hadn’t started, but he had already lost in terms of morale.

Shortly thereafter, the martial arts stage erupted into action.

Zhang San had indeed improved a lot compared to half a year ago, wielding his Tiger Head Great Saber with formidable prowess.

His creation of the ’Tiger Roar Mountain’ Spirit Manipulation Technique maximized the features of the Tiger Head Great Saber.

Liu Yuan, holding a Guan Sword, matched Zhang San in momentum and had trained in the special combat team for a year or two, so he wasn’t at a disadvantage in the fight against Zhang San.

But defeating Zhang San quickly was not easy.

Eventually, after several minutes of intense battle, the match ended with a collision of their respective Spirit Manipulation Techniques.

Regrettably, Liu Yuan lost the duel.

Xiao Zhan could see that in the final move, although Liu Yuan’s Spirit Manipulation Technique was good, it lacked power and had an obstructive feel, as if it was forcefully executed and not smooth.

That was the key to his loss.

And this was clearly due to insufficient compatibility.

Liu Yuan walked off the stage somewhat dejectedly.

Xu Qing followed him, also somewhat disappointed with the loss.

But she clearly knew that she was the main reason.

However, after stepping down, she didn’t say much, silently standing aside, lost in thought.

Losing the match also meant failing the assessment, and they would be directly demoted to the second team.

Of course, if they couldn’t even compete against the second team, they would return to the Combat Department.

The strength of the second team was generally lower, mixed with Second and Third Grades.

Liu Yuan’s skills would definitely be valuable in the second team.

Subsequently, more people continued challenging the Special Combat First Team, but all failed, and none was victorious.

After all, the Special Combat First Team is not to be underestimated; they were the elite selected from these competitors.

If several members got replaced in every assessment, then this team would really be too weak.

On the contrary, many members of the second team lost their challenges and were almost replaced by half.

Xiao Zhan was at ease as no one dared to challenge him directly, and the new top contender was defeated. What more could others say?

A couple of members from the Special Combat Second Team were tempted to challenge Xiao Zhan, but after much hesitation, they gave up.

They did not think they were much stronger than Xu Kuan.

The assessment lasted for two days.

The second day was an opportunity for those injured to try again, as the special combat team sought true elite combat effectiveness, not placements gained through sheer luck.

On the second day, no one challenged Xiao Zhan.

Xu Kuan, having recovered, returned to challenge again, pushing Zhang San out of his position.

Helpless, Zhang San challenged others in the first team but failed this time and had to fall back to the second team.

With that, the assessment came to an end.

The second team saw many changes, with only Liu Yuan stepping down from the first team, replaced by Xu Kuan.

After the conclusion, Xiao Zhan wanted to comfort Liu Yuan.

But after thinking it over, he decided against it, fearing that comforting him as a victor would not be effective, and Liu Yuan was not in the mood to listen.

Moreover, this matter essentially involved him and Xu Qing; as an outsider, saying too much could be counterproductive.

This was something Liu Yuan had to resolve himself.

The next day.

The Special Combat First Team was assembled and brought to the Mimicry Cultivation Room hall.

Just as Xiao Zhan thought there might be a new training task for today.

A woman appeared in front of everyone.

The woman had black long hair, a slender figure dressed in a uniform, perfectly showcasing her curves.

With a delicate nose, small mouth, bright black eyes, and a gentle demeanor like spring water, her slightly flushed cheeks indented with two small dimples.

Her gaze swept over everyone, exuding the gentleness of a spring drizzle.

But seeing her.

Xiao Zhan’s expression suddenly became surprised.
