Hollow Technique

Xia Yuan's leisurely attitude and mockery instantly ignited the Scythe of Calamity's fury.

It frantically accelerated the speed at which it swung its scythe!

Bang...!

The wind pressure from its slashes whipped up a violent gale!

The surrounding walls were carved with countless cracks by its slashes, showing just how immense its power was.

Yet it could not break through Xia Yuan's defense at all.

It let out a shrill scream. Realizing its scythe could not kill the person before it, it simply changed its method of attack.

The cloak around the Scythe of Calamity abruptly collapsed into a spiraling black hole!

Dozens of dark currents burst forth and crashed toward Xia Yuan!

Boom, boom, boom...!

Before the terrifying energy could even touch the corner of Xia Yuan's clothes, it was as though it had struck an absolutely smooth dimensional wall, brilliantly splitting apart and dispersing!

Hiding behind him, Mo Shiyu said excitedly, "Just as I thought—even attacks from this far away can't penetrate the Limitless Technique!"

The attacks continued for quite a while, yet Xia Yuan stood there completely unharmed.

Only after it had exhausted itself did the Scythe of Calamity finally stop, left only to roar helplessly at Xia Yuan!

"Are you angry out of humiliation?"

"I stood here and let you hit me, gave you every chance, and you still couldn't do anything!"

Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yuan raised one hand and pointed a finger at it, speaking slowly.

"Since you're a Boss, using Blue would seem a little impolite..."

The next second, a tiny black-hole sphere glowing red condensed before his fingertip, radiating terrifying power that made one's heart tremble!

Though Mo Shiyu was a little frightened, she still forced her eyes wide open, unwilling to miss her SSR's skill. "What skill is this?"

Xia Yuan's calm voice rang out.

"Cursed Technique Reversal..."

"Red!"

The words fell.

A flash of red streaked toward the Boss, the Scythe of Calamity, in the blink of an eye.

It had no time to react before the red light suddenly pierced through its body!

An immense repulsive force shattered its body. The terrifying aftermath of Red even blasted apart the wall behind it, and the entire Boss room seemed on the verge of collapsing!

Rumble, rumble!

Chunks of rock continuously fell from the ceiling. Mo Shiyu fled in panic with her head in her hands, while the Black Cat Spirit on her shoulder trembled as well.

Fortunately, Xia Yuan lifted her up with one hand again, shielding her from the aftermath. "All right, all right. Stop running around like a mouse."

[Contract Spirit Xia Yuan, level increased: Lv.12 → Lv.15]

[Contract Spirit Black Cat Spirit, level increased: Lv.20 → Lv.30]

Xia Yuan could clearly feel that a little more of his power had been unlocked, while the system reward progress bar had reached... 3%!

Mo Shiyu hung from Xia Yuan's hand like a little shrimp, still in shock.

Wait...

That immensely powerful Level 50 Red-Name Boss had just been killed in seconds?!

"That wasn't Cursed Technique: Blue, was it? What skill was that? It seemed far more powerful than Blue!"

Xia Yuan continued explaining his cursed technique.

"Limitless is actually everywhere. I merely used cursed energy to bring it into reality."

"Convergence and divergence correspond to attraction and repulsion."

"Cursed Technique Reversal, Blue, is attraction."

"And Cursed Technique Reversal, Red, is repulsion."

He lowered his head and glanced at Mo Shiyu. "By the way, I'm using Blue's attraction to hold onto your waist right now."

Xia Yuan casually gave her slender waist a squeeze. It felt pretty good, but he still ran his mouth as usual. "Pork has nice elasticity."

Mo Shiyu was both angry and embarrassed. "You're the pig!"

The solo clear of the two-star dungeon was complete, and the rewards began to be calculated.

Mo Shiyu received a precious 1,300 Spirit Stones, along with plenty of rare materials dropped by the Red-Name Boss!

[Obtained Death Scythe]

[Obtained Dark Core]

[Obtained Red Name Crystal...]

Mo Shiyu happily stored all the materials in her inventory. They had made a fortune this time!

The items dropped by a Red-Name Boss were rare treasures.

They were breakthrough materials necessary for Contract Spirit upgrades!

If she sold them on the Spirit Contract Master Official Website, she could also get a high price in Spirit Stones!

Every thirty levels, a Contract Spirit had to break through before it could continue leveling up.

The further one progressed, the more precious and difficult to obtain the required breakthrough materials became.

After clearing this dungeon, Mo Shiyu had only a pitiful one-third of her spiritual power left...

She had originally wanted to run the dungeon one more time, but now she could only head back first.

After successfully clearing it, Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu were teleported back to the dungeon entrance at the academy.

The moment they returned, it caused a huge uproar!

"They're back!"

"Looks like they cleared it solo?!"

"Holy crap, is this the strength of an SSR? Clearing a two-star dungeon solo on their very first run!"

"They went in at Level 10 and came out at only Level 15? They only gained five levels?"

"SSR leveling really is harder, but isn't this way too ridiculous? A Level 10 beating a Level 40 dungeon Boss?"

"..."

Everyone talked at once, utterly shocked.

Mo Shiyu also felt that the trip had been surreal. If these people knew they had defeated a Level 50 Red-Name Boss, they would probably be even more dumbfounded...

Just as she let out a sigh of relief, the sound of something slicing through the air suddenly rang out above her head!

A giant axe descended from the sky, striking directly at Mo Shiyu's head!

"Meow!!!"

The Black Cat Spirit standing on her shoulder instantly bristled, sensing the danger.

Xia Yuan suddenly raised his hand and narrowly blocked the giant axe. The Limitless Technique had already unfolded in advance.

He tore off his blindfold, his azure eyes filled with killing intent.

"Right in front of me..."

"You dare touch my master?"

Only then did the attacker's figure slowly emerge. She was a burly female warrior in leopard-print clothing, wielding a giant axe.

She actually possessed invisibility, having lain in ambush here all along, waiting for a chance to assassinate Mo Shiyu!

After failing her strike, the female warrior retreated and widened the distance, her rough voice ringing out.

"My, my, SSR little brother, your reaction is practically cheating!"

Her gaze swept over Mo Shiyu's pale face, and her smile suddenly turned savage. "Let big sis chop this little girl down... it'll be better for everyone!"

The assassin's rank was hidden, but her level was not: a Level 70 Contract Spirit!

The entire area fell into complete chaos.

The student Spirit Masters and Contract Spirits watching within the school scattered in every direction, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire.

Mo Shiyu stood frozen in place and staggered back a few steps, her legs feeling weak.

Just recalling that axe strike left lingering fear in her heart.

She had almost...

She had almost died!

If Xia Yuan had not reacted quickly enough, she would already have been a headless corpse.

She had still underestimated how obsessed Spirit Masters were with SSRs.

This was Chuanda Spirit Master Academy, yet the other party had actually dared to openly launch an assassination here!

Xia Yuan carefully scanned the area with the Six Eyes, but for the moment, he could not identify the other party's Spirit Master among the students in the distance.

Since the other party had come for him, an SSR, their Spirit Master had to be hiding nearby so they could immediately step forward to form a contract once Mo Shiyu died.

"Chubby Yu, you wouldn't object if I kill her in a situation like this, would you?"

It was the first time Mo Shiyu had seen Xia Yuan look so serious, and warmth rose in her heart.

Honestly, she was furious too!

The timidity faded from Mo Shiyu's face. She stood up and swept her sharp gaze across the surroundings.

She asked the female warrior Contract Spirit, "Let me ask one thing. Who is your Spirit Master? Or rather, who ordered you here? You dare attack me—do you know who I am?"

The female warrior hoisted her giant axe onto her shoulder and laughed heartily. "Hahaha, little girl, do you think I'd tell you?"

She glanced toward the center of the academy and frowned slightly.

"There isn't much time. If those troublesome people get here, killing you will become difficult!"

"Handsome SSR, I advise you to step back. I don't want to kill you. After all, my mission is only to kill the woman beside you!"

Mo Shiyu's pretty face turned icy as she spoke coldly.

"Xia Yuan, kill her."

"I suppose we won't get the mastermind behind this out of her."

The muscular female warrior carried her giant axe and sneered repeatedly. "Little girl, are you saying that a Level 15 SSR can kill me, a B Rank Level 70 Contract Spirit? That's some outrageous boasting!"

Mo Shiyu was slightly taken aback when she heard that the other party was B Rank.

They had truly gone all out, actually willing to use a B Rank Contract Spirit for an assassination!

"Xia Yuan..."

She had wanted to say something, but Xia Yuan interrupted her first, spreading his hands with a cold smile.

"This time, I may have to be a little rough."

"Since you're a rich girl, you should be able to afford compensating the academy for some damaged terrain..."
