Lucky Emperor Bell

As Xia Yuan felt the spiritual power draining from his body, a wave of despair rose within him.

His body was becoming transparent and insubstantial at a visible rate, on the verge of vanishing.

The contemptuous, mocking faces below the stage made him sick!

Especially Jiang Li's smug face, as she delivered one final taunt:

"Just an R Card, yet you dared to talk so big. You wasted so many of my resources. You deserve to end up like this!"

However.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to disappear completely, a fragrant breeze swept past him.

Mo Shiyu suddenly rushed onto the card-drawing platform and extended a hand as white as jade toward him.

"Contract...!"

The newcomer was panting from her run, yet she respectfully and solemnly bent forward and offered her hand.

Beneath the Contract Spirit Master robe, a tantalizing flash of snowy white skin was visible.

"My name is Mo Shiyu. I want to form a contract with you. Is that okay?!"

At that moment,

time itself seemed to freeze.

It was as though the entire world had pressed pause.

The entire venue was stunned into dead silence!

No one could understand why the most gifted Contract Spirit Master among this year's freshmen, the Chuanbei Academy beauty recognized by all, would contract with the most worthless R Card character!

Xia Yuan's unfocused eyes regained their clarity. He looked up at the person before him as though he had found salvation.

That jade-like hand suspended before him became the only driftwood for a drowning man.

Instinctively, he reached out and tightly grasped her warm, delicate hand.

In an instant!

Light burst forth as a contract formation lit up beneath Xia Yuan's feet. He officially formed a Soul Contract with Mo Shiyu.

Spiritual power, countless times purer and more abundant than before, poured into Xia Yuan's body. In an instant, he was reborn, his form solidifying once more.

Mo Shiyu let out a long breath. She had made it in time. Her bright, beautiful eyes gazed at Xia Yuan as she said sincerely,

"From now on, you are my Contract Spirit."

"Please take care of me!"

Xia Yuan looked at her with deep gratitude.

He had never known a person's hand could be so warm.

After finally being reborn, he really did not want to die again.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations, Host, for completing the contract mission and receiving a Beginner Gift Pack! ]

[ Opening Beginner Gift Pack... ]

[ Congratulations, Host, for drawing the early-stage combat ceiling of the Jujutsu world—SSR Satoru Gojo Character Template! ]

[ Character Template loaded. Would you like to initiate your first transformation? ]

Xia Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard that name.

As an anime fan in his previous life, he naturally knew exactly who Satoru Gojo was!

Six Eyes!

Limitless Technique!

And that blood-pumping declaration: Domain Expansion!

Though he had become something of a joke later on, his combat strength was beyond question!

Only then did the people below the stage snap back to their senses, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"Have they gone insane?! The campus beauty, Mo, actually contracted with an R-rank Contract Spirit?!"

"Ahhh, my goddess has been tainted! How could she possibly choose such trash for a Contract Spirit?!"

"The sky is falling! Who would have thought someone would actually want a comedic Contract Spirit?!"

"The freshman with the strongest spiritual power contracted with the weakest R Card. Who would believe that if you told them...?"

"House Mo's century-long reputation is ruined!"

"..."

Seeing Xia Yuan come back to life, Jiang Li was beside herself with rage.

She had failed to see the person who insulted her disappear with her own eyes, and frustration filled her heart. Unable to hold it in, she shouted,

"Mo Shiyu, is something wrong with your brain? You actually contracted with an R Card?!"

"House Mo is at least a renowned Contract Spirit Master family in Chuanbei. What you've done disgraces us scions of great families and brings shame upon House Mo!"

Mo Shiyu ignored her completely, her attention fixed on Xia Yuan.

She could clearly sense that the moment their contract succeeded, something about him had distinctly changed.

Whether it was his presence or the aura he gave off, everything was completely different...

After all, they had formed a Soul Contract. As his master, she could sense the subtle changes occurring within Xia Yuan.

The aura that had once been as faint as a firefly was now transforming into a storm capable of swallowing heaven and earth!

For no reason, Mo Shiyu felt an immense pressure bearing down on her!

The C Rank elf kitten on her shoulder suddenly arched its fur in terror and hid, only poking out its tiny head to observe the situation.

"Mo Shiyu... a lovely name."

Xia Yuan patted her shoulder and said with a smile,

"I have to say, you have good judgment in choosing to contract with me."

"I'll keep my promise and carry you to the top."

"My name is Xia Yuan. From now on, you are my master!"

Another wave of mocking laughter erupted from the crowd below.

It was hard to imagine an R Card character saying something like that. He was boasting to the heavens!

Jiang Li was amused by his words as well. She had been about to continue mocking him, but her words suddenly caught in her throat.

Because the once useless, lowly, garbage R Card character on the stage suddenly began to change.

A powerful pressure that made hearts tremble abruptly enveloped the surroundings!

Dong! Dong! Dong...

Within North Sichuan Spirit Contract Master Academy, the Lucky Emperor Bell that heralded the arrival of an SSR rang out!

The entire academy was alarmed!

"Holy shit, that only rings when the academy detects an SSR-rank Contract Spirit!"

"The Lucky Emperor Bell hasn't rung in centuries, has it?!"

"Someone among this year's freshmen drew an SSR!"

"That's fucking lucky! Hurry and go take a look!"

"An SSR Contract Spirit... I wouldn't even dare dream of something like that. Did someone really draw one?"

"..."

On the platform of the Myriad Realms Spirit Card Pool, Mo Shiyu's beautiful eyes were wide open, her small lips slightly parted.

Xia Yuan was already enveloped in radiance, his body beginning to twist, stretch, and transform.

This sudden strange phenomenon once again drew everyone's attention.

They could not help but stare in stunned amazement!

Under the crowd's watchful eyes,

the hazy glow began to fade, and the young man abruptly transformed into a tall, slender man in black, over 190 centimeters in height!

He had a striking head of silver-white hair.

A black blindfold covered his eyes.

He wore a pure black uniform that fit his lean frame neatly and sharply.

Though most of his face was obscured, the cold, sculpted line of his jaw still revealed his astonishingly handsome features!

Every inch of him exuded a mysterious and powerful aura!

"Calling you master is a little weird, though..."

The silver-haired man stroked his chin as he carefully looked Mo Shiyu over, a faint smile always lingering at the corner of his lips.

He suddenly leaned down close to her ear and said affectionately in a lazy, frivolous manner,

"Your little face is so chubby..."

"Hmm... I'll call you Chubby Yu. It's more convenient."

Xia Yuan had already transformed into Satoru Gojo's form, and even his personality seemed to have been influenced somewhat.

The R-rank marker above his head had astonishingly turned into a brilliant golden SSR!

For a moment, the entire venue was utterly shocked and dumbfounded!
