"Emergency!"

"Contract Spirit Masters with Contract Spirits level 50 or above, provide immediate support!"

Mo Shiyu jolted awake.

Xia Yuan had already teleported into her bedroom. Arms folded, he leaned against the wall and listened intently to the announcement outside. "Chubby Yu, sounds like something's happening out there."

Mo Shiyu sat up groggily and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. As she listened, her mind cleared. "Oh no! An Abyss Dungeon?"

Hearing the level 50 requirement, Xia Yuan chuckled. "We might not be level 50, but we're strong enough. We can go too, right?"

Mo Shiyu sprang out of bed, hurriedly got ready, and rushed for the door. "Wild dungeons that appear outside are several times more dangerous than the dungeons that regularly spawn inside the academy. Every time one breaks out, a lot of people die!"

Xia Yuan followed close behind. "How's your spiritual energy?"

Mo Shiyu clenched a small fist. "I'm fine. It's back up to eighty percent!"

The two raced out of the villa.

It was four in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

Through the hazy night, they heard Contract Spirits carrying their Contract Spirit Masters as they leaped between the academy buildings, their figures flitting past like ghosts.

They were all students who had answered the call for reinforcements.

Nearly all of them were upperclassmen.

Xia Yuan reached back, caught Mo Shiyu by her slender waist, and lifted her up as he joined the crowd.

"What level are the monsters in the Abyss Dungeon?"

Mo Shiyu was used to being carried like this by now. With a serious expression, she explained:

"Level 50 at minimum."

"It's called an Abyss Dungeon because it holds far more monsters than an ordinary dungeon."

"Even the toughest ordinary dungeon, a Five-Star Dungeon, has no more than a hundred monsters."

"But an Abyss Dungeon can hold up to a thousand!"

"Every time one appears, it's a major disaster."

Smiling, Xia Yuan bounded between the tall buildings with Mo Shiyu in his arms. "Sounds good. We should be able to gain a lot of experience!"

The outbreak was in the South China District, about thirty kilometers from North Sichuan Spiritmaster Academy.

For Contract Spirits traveling at full speed, that wasn't too far.

Before long, they spotted a terrifying red domain in the distance.

Under the direction of various Great Xia authorities, civilians were evacuating.

The roads were packed with people and vehicles, and the noise was deafening.

"That glowing red area must be it!"

Xia Yuan tightened his hold on Mo Shiyu. "We're short on time. Let's flash over!"

Mo Shiyu looked baffled. "Huh? Flash?"

The next second, her vision blurred, and the scenery around her changed.

When she opened her eyes again, they were standing right beside the red barrier!

"Huh... Huh?!"

"Did we just teleport?!"

Mo Shiyu stared at him in astonishment.

Xia Yuan set her down and said calmly, "What's so surprising? I just used Cursed Technique: Blue's attraction to drag us to our destination at high speed. The effect is basically the same as long-distance teleportation."

Mo Shiyu's mouth twitched. What's so surprising? That's practically a god-tier skill!

Just how many absurd abilities does this guy have that I don't know about?

"Are you students from the academy, here to provide support?"

A stern male voice sounded behind them.

They turned to find a bearded man in a Contract Spirit Master's military overcoat, frowning at them.

Behind him stood several powerful Contract Spirits of different appearances, all above level 90!

Chen Hu glanced at the level 25 displayed above Xia Yuan's head and snorted.

"Academy students these days really have no idea what they're getting into..."

"I don't know how you got here, but leave. This is no place for a level 25 Contract Spirit!"

Mo Shiyu had hidden Xia Yuan's SSR rank, so outsiders could only see his level.

When Mo Shiyu saw the three-star badge on his chest, her manner immediately grew respectful. She explained:

"Sir, my Contract Spirit may only be level 25, but he's an SSR. His combat strength is far beyond that of an ordinary level 50 Contract Spirit!"

A military Contract Spirit Master—and a three-star officer at that!

This bearded man held considerable rank!

Surprised, Chen Hu looked Xia Yuan over. With his hands in his pockets, the young man looked handsome but not remotely serious.

Even the powerful Contract Spirits behind Chen Hu turned to look curiously.

"An SSR?"

"You're the student from Chuanbei Academy who drew an SSR? The one from House Mo?"

Mo Shiyu nodded. "That's right, sir."

Xia Yuan paid the bearded officer no mind. Looking instead at the red barrier sealing everything inside, he got straight to the point. "Is the Abyss Dungeon in there?"

Chen Hu didn't take offense. SSRs had always been rather full of themselves. He explained:

"That's right. To prevent the monsters in the Abyss Dungeon from escaping, an SR Contract Spirit from the Alliance erected this barrier."

"The raid team has already entered the Abyss Dungeon to take down the boss, but this dungeon is tougher than we expected!"

"From what we've found, there may be more than three thousand monsters!"

Mo Shiyu could scarcely believe it. "Th-three thousand?!"

No wonder they needed reinforcements! A dungeon had appeared without warning in a bustling urban area, and it held that many monsters.

"You got here fast. You're the first to arrive..."

Chen Hu gave them a nod of approval. "But don't worry. We don't need you students and your Contract Spirits to enter the barrier and form the first line of defense. The Alliance has people there. You only need to stay outside as the second line and deal with any monsters that break through."

"Huh?" Xia Yuan said, clearly unhappy.

Thinking the assignment sounded too difficult for him, Chen Hu frowned again.

"You're a level 25 SSR. Surely you can manage that much?"

Xia Yuan waved a hand dismissively. "I don't want to stay out here. How many monsters would I get to fight? Chubby Yu, let's head in."

Chen Hu froze.

You've got to be kidding me!

The second line isn't too hard for you—you want to go inside?!

"You idiot! Do you have a death wish?"

"Even if you're an SSR, you're only level 25. How strong can you be? An Abyss Dungeon out here is nothing like those gentle, fixed dungeons at your academy!"

Chen Hu moved to stop him at once.

But Xia Yuan acted as though he hadn't heard. He had already picked up Mo Shiyu. "Let's go! This barrier seems to stop things from getting out, not us from getting in."

Helpless, Mo Shiyu gave the bearded officer an awkward, sheepish smile. "Um... Sir, sorry for the trouble. We'll be fine."

A vein bulged on Chen Hu's forehead. Even his patience had its limits. "Hey, brat! Follow orders!"

He immediately waved to his Contract Spirits. "Stop him!"

The Contract Spirits were about to move, but before they could react, Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu vanished, leaving them grasping at empty air.

Chen Hu was dumbfounded.

The high-level Contract Spirits exchanged astonished looks.

"They vanished?"

"That must be how they got here first. Some kind of teleportation?"

"I'd heard SSR Contract Spirits have absurd abilities. Now I've seen one for myself."
