Your Physical Skills Are Strong Too

Although Xia Yuan's words were light and casual, everyone in House Mo felt unprecedented pressure!

The hall fell silent once more.

After a long while, Mo Cheng finally spoke:

"Since Senior Xia Yuan has said so, then this is the only way."

Mo Wushuang looked as though he wanted to speak, but stopped himself.

He was still unwilling to accept it, but he also knew he could not offend Xia Yuan.

However, Mo Cheng changed the subject and looked at Mo Shiyu. "But, Shiyu, since you've said this, you must get into a top Spiritmaster university within a year. You cannot go back on your word."

Mo Shiyu nodded, her expression exceptionally serious. "Of course not. If I fail, I will voluntarily terminate the contract."

She knew Xia Yuan had firmly chosen her because of the debt of gratitude.

If she never gained the ability to support him in fighting at full strength, then she herself would not want to remain by Xia Yuan's side and hold him back.

Mo Shiyu had her own pride as well!

Xia Yuan was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Mo Shiyu to make such a vow.

Mo Cheng nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

Mo Shiyu also understood that, as the head of House Mo, Mo Cheng did not really have any selfish motives. He had always put the family's interests first.

Mo Wushuang and Mo Cheng were not closely related by blood. He was merely a collateral descendant of the family who happened to possess talent for cultivating spiritual power.

Mo Wushuang gritted his teeth. In the end, there was nothing he could do. He turned and left decisively, but before departing, he paused beside Mo Shiyu and sneered:

"One year to get into a top university? Shiyu, you really are confident."

"Then I'll wait for your good news. I hope you'll prove worthy of an overwhelmingly powerful SSR Contract Spirit like Senior Xia Yuan!"

Mo Shiyu gave him a cold glance. "That's none of your concern."

Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan did not stay at House Mo for long. After lunch, they returned to the academy, preparing to run a dungeon!

After learning about Xia Yuan's monster-like strength, Mo Shiyu had grown much bolder as well.

The academy's freshmen were still miserably forming teams and struggling through beginner dungeons together, while they were already preparing to tackle a three-star dungeon!

As famous figures within the academy, they caused a stir and became the center of attention wherever they went.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li had also arrived at the dungeon area with the C Rank Contract Spirit Skeleton General she had just bought, intending to run beginner dungeons.

Amid the crowd, Jiang Li spotted Xia Yuan at once, and her eyes immediately reddened!

She looked at his handsome silver hair, his tall one-meter-ninety frame, and that powerful, pleasing-to-the-eye SSR.

Then she looked at the C Rank Contract Spirit Skeleton General beside her, bought on a loan for ten thousand Spirit Stones and radiating a terrifying aura. Endless regret flooded her heart!

Because she had given up on contracting the SSR, she had now become a sinner in her family. Even her own father was unwilling to give her Spirit Stones anymore...

Naturally, Jiang Li knew about Xia Yuan's performance yesterday—soloing a two-star dungeon and instantly killing a B Rank level 70 Contract Spirit!

Such an invincible Contract Spirit should have been hers!

But she had personally given up the contract...

"Damn it, why did you have to be such a powerful SSR?!"

"Why is heaven treating me like this?"

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She viciously kicked the Skeleton General beside her. "What are you looking at? You're a Contract Spirit that can't even speak, completely useless! Why can't you turn into an SSR?!"

The Skeleton General stared at her with its empty black eye sockets, looking utterly innocent.

Elsewhere.

Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan had already decided to enter the three-star dungeon. Senior students once again approached with their Contract Spirits, eager to join them.

Unfortunately, every one of them was ruthlessly rejected.

Xia Yuan wanted to level up alone.

Mo Shiyu's C Rank Cat Spirit had a hidden trait that reduced spiritual power consumption and would not take much of his experience anyway. Otherwise, he would not even have wanted to bring Xiao Hei.

"Chubby Yu, do you have enough spiritual power stored up? Did you bring any medicine to replenish it?"

After the previous assassination attempt, Xia Yuan had not lowered his guard at the academy. He had constantly used the Six Eyes to observe his surroundings.

Although he could not keep the Limitless Technique active at all times, it was enough for prevention.

Mo Shiyu's expression became slightly strange. She looked as embarrassed and aggrieved as an impotent husband being forced to take medicine. Turning her face away, she muttered softly, "I brought some..."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly. "Good. That way, certain people won't be able to launch a surprise attack while you're out of spiritual power."

Mo Shiyu understood Xia Yuan's concerns, but this trip back to House Mo had not been for nothing.

Besides bringing plenty of potions that could temporarily replenish spiritual power, she had also brought many life-saving barrier artifacts, just in case.

"By the way, how do Spiritmasters cultivate spiritual power?"

Xia Yuan asked curiously.

Mo Shiyu replied, "Just use it more. The way to train spiritual power is to keep draining it dry."

Xia Yuan froze slightly, then laughed. "That's far too easy. No wonder you dared to make a bet with that old man from House Mo!"

Mo Shiyu snorted. "I'm not stupid!"

The moment she finished speaking, she felt the world spin around her, and then heaven and earth flipped upside down.

Xia Yuan skillfully picked her up and stepped into the three-star dungeon's portal!

The onlookers collectively gasped again:

"This is insane! He's soloing another dungeon, and this time it's a three-star dungeon!"

"A three-star dungeon? Even us upperclassmen wouldn't dare challenge one casually, even in a team!"

"An SSR really can't be judged by common sense..."

"Damn, with this kind of combat power, is Chuanbei Academy finally going to become famous in this year's National College Spiritmaster Championship?"

"Clearing a three-star dungeon solo should give around three thousand Spirit Stones as a reward, right? That's almost enough for twenty pulls. I'm so jealous!"

"..."

This three-star dungeon seemed to be set in a tropical rainforest. The surroundings were wide open and brightly lit.

"Vine-Claw Hunter!"

"Rot-Moss Swamp Beast!"

"Symbiotic Spore Poison Moth!"

Mo Shiyu expertly and skillfully called out the weaknesses of those monsters as usual, though Xia Yuan never needed them.

Carrying Mo Shiyu, Xia Yuan began another slaughter at lightning speed!

Many thorn-covered vines suddenly shot up from the ground.

Xia Yuan burst into a sprint, performed a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree aerial spin, accurately dodged them, and struck the Vine-Claw Hunter with Cursed Technique: Blue!

A massive beast with its abyss-like jaws wide open suddenly lunged out from the swamp beneath his feet, trying to swallow him whole.

But Xia Yuan had noticed it long ago. He kicked it flying, then rewarded it with a blast of Cursed Technique: Red that pierced through its neck.

Wave after wave of monsters emerged from the rainforest. Xia Yuan darted and maneuvered among them, handling everything with effortless ease.

Meanwhile, Mo Shiyu and Xiao Hei, dangling from his hand, felt as if they were riding a roller coaster. Their faces were utterly lifeless.

Mo Shiyu had never expected that Xia Yuan's skills were already so absurd, yet his physical skills were incredibly strong as well!

Her SSR truly was exactly as the status panel described—apart from his personality, every other ability was perfect!

He truly deserved to be called an all-round Contract Spirit!

The monsters in a three-star dungeon ranged from level 40 to level 60!

The dungeon Boss, meanwhile, was fixed at the maximum level of 60!

Its difficulty was far beyond that of a two-star dungeon.

However, as long as Xia Yuan activated the Limitless Technique, he was nearly invincible and could clear the dungeon without taking damage.

Combined with his nearly instant Cursed Technique: Blue and Cursed Technique: Red, along with his outrageous physical techniques, his efficiency was still far from low.

Ten minutes later.

They arrived at the dungeon Boss's location once again!

Mo Shiyu could finally get down and rest for a moment. Being carried around for so long had made her waist quite sore.

She stretched her graceful body and moved around a little. "I wonder whether it'll be a Red-Name Boss this time. A red name in a three-star dungeon would mean level 70. But it can't possibly be that coincidental, right? Two Red-Name Bosses in a row would mean we should go buy lottery tickets..."

Xia Yuan removed his sunglasses, revealing eyes as clear and cold as Ice Soul. "Let's hope so."

After Mo Shiyu had rested up.

The two entered the Boss's territory.

The instant they stepped in, red warning lines appeared all around them.

A jade-green humanoid mantis suddenly descended from above. Its physique was powerful, sharp blades were embedded in both its arms and legs, and its pupils were blood-red.

It was not particularly large, roughly the size of a human, but the pressure it exuded was no small matter!

A red level indicator glowed above its head:

"Level 70, Blade King!"

Cold sweat appeared on Mo Shiyu's face as she shrank back in fear. "Looks like our luck really is good!"

Xia Yuan's expression was the complete opposite of hers. He looked delighted as he analyzed calmly, "Maybe it isn't luck. The trigger for a Red-Name Boss is probably clearing the dungeon quickly!"
