The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 289 - 157: GuaGua Learning to Talk_3

Sun Wuli muttered, a hazy white light enveloping him and the Explosive Horn Wolf.

As an E-rank ’Thief’, he mastered two active abilities - ’Escape’ and ’Fatal Injury’.

However, Renwo Lang’s explosion was too fast; so fast he didn’t even get an opportunity to use ’Fatal Injury’ before being defeated with a single punch.

Nown, he could only flee!

"Swoosh!"

Turbulent winds swirled around Sun Wuli and the Explosive Horn Wolf, the light shimmering as they disappeared on the spot.

And yet... a muffled crash sounded.

In the next instant, a white bandaged figure appeared at the entrance of the channel. The wild wind knocked it over but also brought itself to a halt.

"It hurts... I want it to hurt..."

"Make it hurt more... more..."

Doomsday Messenger Mo staggered to his feet.

’Escape’ was a speed enhancement skill, related to the Wind Element.

However, this active ability wasn’t very powerful and could be interrupted if not used carefully.

"Ugh..."

The Explosive Horn Wolf spat out a mouthful of blood. Its eyes, when they opened, were filled with pain and murderous intent.

Sun Wuli was even worse off: he only had one eye, which was fixed on the Doomsday Messenger suddenly summoned. He regarded the white Patron with rage.

"Bang!"

Renwo Lang wouldn’t miss this opportunity. He rushed up and grappled the Explosive Horn Wolf, tossing it to the ground again.

In a blink of an eye, his foot shot out, and Sun Wuli blocked with the arm guard he held.

The arm guard shattered, and Sun Wuli was sent flying, slamming against the cave wall, his entire back awash with blood.

"Capture him! Capture him!"

Mao Maochong lunged forward and grabbed Sun Wuli, visibly overjoyed.

"These two brothers—they have not committed evil deeds in the mine for the first time."

"They escaped last time, and we didn’t know where they hid. It’s only been a short while, and they dare to come back!"

"Mighty Ren! Mighty Bai!"

Exclaimed Lv Douxia. His gaze on Renwo Kuang was filled with awe, but he watched Ye Hanjun with confusion.

Renwo Kuang was righteous, confronting his enemies head-on.

But White Crow was just a first-rank Patron. Logically speaking, in such a fight, he wouldn’t have been able to help, and might have even been a burden.

Who could’ve imagined he not only joined the fight but won in a single strike.

It wasn’t only the deceptive power of his abilities - it was also about his judgment and grasp of the situation. If he had been even a little off, he wouldn’t have achieved the same result.

Of course, that wasn’t the most amazing part.

The reason Sun Wuli had managed to escape last time was also due to ’Escape’.

White Crow had unexpectedly summoned his Contracted Spirit to block it.

Was this blind luck or a keen sight and strategy that far surpassed their own abilities as second-rank Patrons?

Lv Douxia wasn’t sure.

Mao Maochong, carefree as ever, was thrilled to say:

"Sun Wuqian is dead, Sun Wuli is captured alive - this is a great accomplishment!"

"We’ll return the stolen ores to the survivors, and the rest of their assets, as well as their bounty, divided between the four of us, will be a handsome sum!"

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, recalled Mo, and the babbling in his ear immediately subsided.

"Hey, it seems that the Contracted Spirits of Ren and Bai are quite special..."

Lv Douxia was intrigued. Compared to a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, he was more curious about the team of the two. They gave a sense of seamless cooperation.

As for this, Renwo Kuang and Ye Hanjun naturally wouldn’t explain in detail.

They passed it over with a few perfunctory words, causing Lv Douxia to suddenly wake up and realize that this was a Patron’s privacy, which could not be casually divulged.

"Yo, Dou! Chong!"

"These two are a bit unfamiliar, new brothers?"

"Huh, caught someone? Good lord, isn’t this Sun Wuli? You even caught him?!"

...

In the process of escorting Sun Wuli, the group walked almost across the third zone.

The enforcers in the mines were not sparse; countable persons were impossible.

In the third zone alone, there were two hundred people scattered in various positions mining.

There were at least twelve high-ranking law enforcers of the second-rank.

The enforcers of the first-rank were present too, but they were considered soldiers.

What Ye Hanjun observed were one or two high-ranking enforcers leading with a few soldiers at their heels.

"Sun Wuli? Isn’t he a notorious thief?"

"Not only active in our cave, but he also often sneakily commits petty thefts outside the town. He’s done quite a few despicable deeds."

"Execute him, better to do it publicly. Let those with evil thoughts see for themselves the eventual outcome of killing for money!"

On the first night, Chen Mai went out of his way to find Renwo Kuang and Ye Hanjun, commended the day’s achievements, and asked if they were habituating to their mine life.

Honestly, he was surprised.

Renwo Kuang had just been promoted to the Southern Campus - how long had it been for him to overpower the Explosive Horn Wolf of Rainbow Light Great completion?

This implied that in not so long, he would vie for a position amongst the Ten Talents, no?

Also, White Crow was impressive, too!

When he heard Lv Douxia’s and Mao Maochong’s report, Chen Mai seriously doubted if he’d made a mistake.

White Crow had the ability to fight across ranks?

No matter how he did it, with such qualifications, it made the best persuasive force.

"Find a place to rest underground. Someone will take over the patrol. You’ll rotate after twelve hours."

"Okay, see you later, Chen."

Renwo Kuang fist-bumped him and left with Ye Hanjun.

The underground conditions were simple, and even the high-ranking enforcers did not have their own rooms.
