Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 379: The Final Battle
Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Final Battle
Afterward, he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan, his face transitioning from joy to a hint of worry.
When Xiao Zhan was not winning, he hoped Xiao Zhan would win.
But now that Xiao Zhan had won, he hoped Xiao Zhan had not.
"The last match of Xiao Zhan will presumably be against the Void Demon Beast. With Reksen dead, he will undoubtedly ask for your help. When the time comes, proceed according to plan and tell him the wrong weaknesses," Su Zhenggong said.
Liu Xin snorted coldly, "I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job."
Su Zhenggong replied disdainfully, "You don’t need my instruction, which is for the best. I just fear some people might take matters into their own hands and cause unexpected trouble!"
Now that Reksen was dead, Su Zhenggong toughened up again.
He continued to warn Liu Xin, "Let me tell you, you’d better not play any tricks this time, or else I’ll kill you myself if Xiao Zhan doesn’t!"
At this, Liu Xin did not retort. She merely kept quiet, her gaze firmly fixed on Xiao Zhan.
...
On the stage.
Following the death of Reksen.
His corpse, under the effects of the Void Arena, immediately transformed into a stream of pure golden energy, surging into the bodies of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong.
The golden energy this time, without the need for sensing, was evidently abundant in reward by its sheer volume and its pure color.
Even the audience could see it, having never witnessed such pure golden energy.
Indeed, as this energy infused into the two, merely with an instant of nourishment, their desiccated bodies were revitalized.
They both stood up from the ground.
Exchanging glances, they each saw intense joy in the other’s eyes.
Feeling the tangible increase of power within, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but exclaim, "The death reward from Reksen is too powerful; merely the physical strength has brought us directly to Sixth Grade, exceeding our own Realm!"
Ye Youlong also kept nodding, unable to hide his thrilled expression, "Had we possessed this strength earlier, we wouldn’t have been so hard-pressed, and we could have defeated Reksen without even resorting to the power of the Ghost Blood Eye!"
Indeed.
Though that may be true.
But how could such good fortune be so easily had in the world.
However, fortunately, they had already overcome this obstacle.
...
A day later.
With Reksen’s demise, Xiao Zhan firmly secured the number one spot, and Liu Xin was naturally ’rescued.’
In room number one.
After a special medicinal bath, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had their spirits rejuvenated within a day.
Liu Xin now also lived in this room.
The three sat on the couch in the living room.
"Was it Reksen who bound you here?" Xiao Zhan asked Liu Xin.
Having been in Barbarian City for so long, he was clueless about many things.
"Yes," Liu Xin replied.
"What did he bind you here for?"
"To help him achieve a hundred consecutive victories."
"Why did he want me to participate in the Void Competition?" Xiao Zhan was most puzzled with this question.
If Reksen had Liu Xin’s help, there would be no need to ’nurture’ Xiao Zhan as the hundredth opponent.
Therefore, there wasn’t a necessity for Reksen to make Xiao Zhan join the Void Competition.
It was like seeking his own adversary.
Thus, Xiao Zhan was perplexed as to why Reksen would make such a self-destructive move.
"I don’t know."
Liu Xin answered very straightforwardly.
She obviously wouldn’t volunteer that it was her own decision to have Xiao Zhan join the Void Competition. To admit it would be to expose herself.
"Perhaps he wanted to witness just what kind of person the so-called number one human talent really is," Liu Xin added another line.
Xiao Zhan dismissed this statement as nonsense.
He didn’t believe Reksen would be that frivolous.
Following that, he asked, "Now that I’ve completed ninety-nine victories, who will my last opponent be?"
"I don’t know," Liu Xin shook her head, "Maybe a Void Demon Beast."
"Maybe?"
Liu Xin spread her hands, "After all, no one has seen it, but it’s certainly a creature from the Void."
"Do you think I have the strength to defeat it now and complete a hundred victories?" Xiao Zhan asked again.
Liu Xin thought seriously, "It’s hard to say, but with my help, there’s a ninety percent chance that there should be no problem."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Indeed, with Liu Xin providing information on weaknesses, the battle would be much easier for him.
He turned to look at Ye Youlong, inquiring, "Why not seize the day? Shall we engage in the final showdown tomorrow?"
"Is there a need to rush?"
Before Ye Youlong could answer, Liu Xin couldn’t help but speak out.
Xiao Zhan looked at her, puzzled, "Then what else?"
"As it’s a competition arena, it would not match up against a creature that is an absolute crush. So, in reality, no matter when I participate in the final match, the opponent I’m matched against will always be marginally stronger than me."
"As such, I might as well start sooner rather than later."
Hearing his analysis, Liu Xin couldn’t help but smirk, "Your analysis isn’t wrong, but it’s also not absolute."
"For example?" Xiao Zhan countered.
"For example, you." Liu Xin pointed at Xiao Zhan, "Compared to those opponents you’ve slain, your appearance does not adhere to the matching rules."
"Me?" Xiao Zhan suddenly smiled, "I also conform to it, it’s just that there’s a threshold to the matching, and every one of my battles exceeded this threshold. Didn’t you notice that my numbers were skipping throughout? Besides, they couldn’t possibly have me start by fighting Reksen, could they?"
"That’s reasonable."
Liu Xin had no rebuttal.
Because what Xiao Zhan said made sense.
"If you two have decided, then I won’t say much. In any case, I’ll give you my unlimited support," Liu Xin said.
Her gaze was filled with hope.
...
The next day.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong started their final contest.
Many spectators came to witness this historic moment.
Liu Xin still sat in the best viewing seat, but now, compared to before, she could pass information to Xiao Zhan with much ease.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong took to the stage.
The Void’s voice immediately rang out, "Do you wish to participate in the final contest?"
"Yes."
Without any hesitation.
With his words falling, the matching sound of the Void began.
Hearing this sound, everyone breathlessly awaited in anticipation.
They were eager to know who Xiao Zhan’s opponent would be.
But unlike before, as the matching process commenced, Xiao Zhan’s surroundings suddenly underwent a drastic change like the stars shifting in the heavens.
Around him, the audience vanished, the arena disappeared.
Then, in the blink of an eye, everything was replaced with a dominantly dusky-purple, star-filled galaxy.
