The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 267 - 151: The Assembled Mentors, The Arrival of the Rotten Ancient Tree_2

"And there’s Ji Yan, this kid will soon be a real star mentor."

"He was granted a favor by Old Tong in his youth, and the simple act of killing a Ghost Hand isn’t enough to satisfy him, and he has held a grudge ever since."

"With your aggressive move this time, and so many people joining you, even if the deputy deans of the 4th Order don’t want to, even if they want to be partial, they can only pretend they don’t see."

"Oh?" Ye Hanjun laughed lightly, "Even if I have told you, I have been promoted to the 2nd Order, and the Witch has successfully mutated, does Nie Zhuo still have such a huge energy that can make the deputy deans never forget?"

"He is already close to the pinnacle of the 3rd Order, it is estimated that his promotion is just three or five years away."

"The academy has fostered him for so long, just waiting for the day he blossoms, but you want to pluck him... you tell me, shouldn’t they be frustrated?"

"Three to five years..." Ye Hanjun laughed lowly, "In three to five years, where do you think I can reach?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yongnian looked at him with puzzlement, "You don’t actually think that you can break through to the 4th Order, do you?"

"No... you naughty boy, I believe your potential is greater than the three heroes, and it’s not hard to break through to the 3rd Order."

"But you must know that the 3rd Order and the 4th Order are completely different, how many people with strong talents, because they can’t find a direction for their job transfer, they stay in place and finally grow old with regret."

"This is the same as the ascending evolution of the Fond Spirit, for the Patron, this threshold is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"If not, why any 4th Order Patrons in the Giant Frog Marsh can easily be granted titles?"

"In my opinion, you young man can be a bit proud, but not too proud."

"Otherwise, when you hit a wall in the future, you won’t be able to accept it all at once, and that is truly more uncomfortable than death..."

"You old man, you’re quite cute..."

Ye Hanjun smiled ambiguously, not saying what was in his heart.

Indeed, job transfer is a major hurdle that hinders many talented people.

But for the direct descendants of the Ye Clan, if they work hard all their lives but can’t even reach the 4th Order, then they really can’t be helped.

What they should really worry about is the second job transfer from the 6th to the 7th, this difficulty is even greater, whether or not they can cross it is as different as heaven and earth.

"Uh... who are you, sir?"

The conversation was interrupted because the other stage was already set up.

The soldiers stationed there, were just two small fries of the 1st Order.

Shao Yao just walked over, casually exuded a bit of aura, they began to tense up, subconsciously tightened their grip on their runes.

"Notify Nie Zhuo, tell him Shao Yao is here to visit, there are things to discuss."

Shao Yao took out a silver-white pentagonal badge from her Dimensional Space Bag and gently shook it.

"I’ll wait for him at the door, let him come to see me quickly."

"Ah... so it’s Teacher Shao..."

The two soldiers, either they had heard of Shao Yao’s name, or they hadn’t.

One bowed and saluted, the other had a difficult face and stammered:

"Teacher Shao, it’s not a good time for you to find Researcher Nie..."

"He’s been in the lab day and night, not contacting the outside world, even other researchers have problems to consult him, he completely ignores..."

"What if it’s a matter of utmost urgency?" Shao Yao’s eyes sparkled and she laughed softly.

"Well..."

The two soldiers looked at each other, "Teacher Shao, we are just gatekeepers, please don’t make it hard for us..."

"Other researchers are easy to talk to, but this Researcher Nie is notoriously stubborn and weird, as long as he doesn’t want to pay attention to the outside world, we really have no way to notify him..."

Shao Yao stopped speaking.

Her gaze fell on the soldiers’ faces, they began to sweat cold, dared not to breathe.

"So there’s no other way."

"This Nie Zhuo... I have to meet him today, no matter what."

She raised her jade-like finger, which twinkled lightly, and the runes in the hands of two soldiers appeared in her palm.

The two were wide-eyed and were about to speak when they saw a large white bird swoop down from the sky, one claw each, grabbed them both.

"Uh... uh..."

As they ascended, the mouths of two soldiers were blocked, they couldn’t make any screams.

But they watched in horror as people riding Fond Spirits appeared from all four directions around the research institute.

That monster that looked like a giant boulder... seems to be a "Rolling Rock Beast"?

The monster with wings on its back and a body like a frog... seems to be a "Flying Wing Frog"?

The bird with a mouth as large as a basin and a wingspan of ten meters... seems to be a "Big Mouthed Vulture"?

Are those... all Jade Infants???

The two soldiers were dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a lineup and thought someone was invading the Canghai Pavilion.

But those figures on the backs of the Fond Spirits, whether middle-aged or elderly, all had a silver-white pentagonal badge on their chests.

The badge, illuminated by the sunset like blood... was extremely dazzling!

They are all official mentors???

What’s the reason for this, to surround the research institute???

What on earth happened???

The soldiers’ minds were about to explode.

No one answered their questions, all they could do was speculate wildly.

But...

As a breeze brushed over their faces, a flying fish covered in green scales descended from the sky. The two soldiers turned pale and could barely breathe.

Ji Yan the Windwalker?

The soon-to-be-star-mentor Ji Yan the Windwalker?

Why is he here???

"Since he’s unwilling to come out, let’s go in and find him then."
