Chapter 148 Let it go
Chapter 148 Let it go
"Haha! I've made a breakthrough!" Kong Sheng, who was practicing attentively, suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of irrepressible ecstasy, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. After a long period of hard work and unremitting struggle, he finally succeeded in breaking through the bottleneck of the peak of the Spirit Emperor and entered the coveted Spirit Lord realm, officially becoming an extremely powerful Spirit Lord.
However, just when Kong Sheng was getting excited, a low and steady voice suddenly came from behind her: "Concentrate!" This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, calming the originally excited Kong Sheng instantly. He shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "This guy is really a cold-blooded guy..." Although he was a little dissatisfied, Kong Sheng still sat down again and continued to focus on his cultivation. After all, the mysterious existence who signed a contract with him had extremely terrifying strength. If it weren't for Mu Yang's help, it would be impossible for Kong Sheng to establish a contractual relationship with him at his current level. One of the important reasons why the contract was successfully reached was that the other party did not think highly of Kong Sheng at first - he thought he was too weak.
Thinking of this, Kong Sheng couldn't help but sigh, secretly glad that he finally got this rare opportunity. In this case, then cherish it well...
At the same time, other people around him also woke up from their deep cultivation. Unlike Kong Sheng, each of them had reached the peak of the Spiritual Venerable level, and was only one step away from the higher level of the Spiritual Immortal Realm. However, it was not easy to truly cross this gap, and it required more sweat and effort. Therefore, these people did not immerse themselves in joy for too long like Kong Sheng, and soon regained their composure and began to think about how to improve their strength in the future so as to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"What a good harvest!" Lu Wan walked over and said.
"Captain!" everyone stood up and shouted.
"It's you who have made a good harvest! We are all your capable men!" Jiang Baiqi said jokingly.
"No, you are my closest friends! You are my partners who can fight side by side with me and share life and death with me! I have never regarded you as inferior subordinates." Lu Wan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
Hearing his sincere words, everyone present couldn't help but smile at each other, and a warm feeling surged in their hearts.
Then, Lu Wan asked curiously: "What powerful spirit beasts has everyone successfully contracted? Summon them out so we can broaden our horizons." Just now, she only caught a glimpse of a vague shadow, but had no idea about the true appearance of these spirit beasts.
"Black Qilin!" Jiang Baiqi shouted excitedly.
"Purple Flame Python!" Mo Yan immediately reported the name of the spirit beast he had contracted.
"White-eyed tiger!" Mu Yang responded loudly, not to be outdone.
"Heart-eating beast!" Mo Fei's voice was full of mystery.
"Bluebird!" Mo Yi said softly, as if the beautiful bird was landing lightly on his shoulder.
Finally, Mu Yang pointed at Kong Sheng, who was still concentrating on absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and said, "Kui Niu!"
Lu Wan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She was indeed a little surprised. She never expected that such a mighty and domineering Kui Niu would choose to sign a contract with Kong Sheng. It seemed that Kong Sheng could successfully complete this contract with the help and support of others. After all, based on Kong Sheng's current strength, it was simply a fantasy to want to defeat this fairy beast-level Kui Niu...
Lu Wan once again cast her gaze towards the heart-eating beast beside Mo Fei... She couldn't help but widen her eyes, and murmured in astonishment: "Xiaoyi... why are you here?" It turned out that this heart-eating beast was not an ordinary creature, but the first heart-eating beast in Lu Wan's space, and also the companion that had been with Xiaohong for the longest time.
Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he instantly turned into a human form and stepped out. With a guilty look on his face and a flicker of anxiety in his eyes, he said softly to Lu Wan: "Master, I'm really sorry... I just want to get out of this space and take a look at the outside world. Moreover, Master Xiao Hong has always forbidden you to sign a contract with me... So, I will take this opportunity..."
After hearing this, Lu Wan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a helpless smile. She knew very well that it must be because Xiao Hong was too arrogant and chattering that Xiao Yi couldn't stand it. After all, the spirit beasts all over the mountains are not easy to mess with! Thinking of this, Lu Wan turned around and told Mo Fei: "You must treat it well! You know, it is the first spirit beast born here, and it has extraordinary strength and potential. Since it willingly chooses to follow you, it means that it recognizes your ability very much."
Mo Fei was overjoyed when he heard that, and nodded repeatedly in response: "Don't worry, master! I naturally understand how powerful it is. If it hadn't intentionally shown mercy just now, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to successfully subdue it..." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yi with gratitude, his eyes full of respect.
"You are also very good. Now it depends on what Bai Li and Nan Xing will bring back! Of course... and you." Lu Wan praised everyone, then turned to look at Yan Chenxi, who was standing next to Mo Yi with an envious look on his face, eager to touch the blue bird's wings.
Yan Chenxi chuckled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's wait until they come back!"
"Captain, how many spirit beasts are there in that mountain? Isn't the surprise you mentioned among us?" Mo Yan asked
Lu Wan shook his head and thought for a while, "There are probably more than a hundred on the mountain, right? I forgot what they are exactly. I put more in there because I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to find them! As for the surprise... but it’s something even I don’t know about. After all... it hasn’t come out yet." Lu Wan said mysteriously.
Everyone looked at them sideways. Is there anything better than a fairy beast? Could it be a divine beast? Everyone was eager to try and see, and they all looked at Lu Wan.
Lu Wan smiled when he saw the looks in everyone's eyes. He knew their purpose. He had already contracted a spirit beast and could not contract another one. No matter how good one was, he could only watch... After all, his strength was limited, so he could only contract one.
"You all go check it out. They should be near the top of the mountain... They should be back soon." Lu Wan said
Everyone nodded and rushed to the mountain again.
"Why aren't you going yet?" Lu Wan looked at Yan Chenxi in confusion. What happened today? He clearly seemed to like and envy her very much, so why wasn't he going?
Yan Chenxi lay down on the table with a look of dejection, "I... don't want to go."
Lu Wan smiled and sat down. "Are you afraid of not having good luck? Or are you afraid of not being able to compare to others?"
Yan Chenxi nodded... and looked at Kong Sheng who was still concentrating on his training. Even he had already broken through to the Spiritual Venerable and had a contract with a fairy beast. Maybe he was really unlucky...
Yan Chenxi sighed, "I feel so useless. I can't compare to you all in anything..."
Lu Wan patted Yan Chenxi on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't say that. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Besides, luck is not the factor that determines everything."
Yan Chenxi raised her head and looked at Lu Wan, "Really? But I..."
Lu Wan interrupted Yan Chenxi and said, "Believe me, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something. Maybe, your surprise is waiting for you."
Yan Chenxi felt a little better after hearing what Lu Wan said. She stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a look."
Lu Wan smiled and nodded, "Well, go ahead. Maybe you'll find something unexpected."
Yan Chenxi walked towards the top of the mountain, her heart full of anticipation, and secretly told herself that no matter what she encountered, she must face it bravely.
