Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 24 Entering White Emperor Spirit Academy

Protecting Ye Youlong goes without saying; if she died, I would die too.

However, it makes sense for me to keep the soft armor and not give it to Ye Youlong, as she can transform into an Artifact Spirit, making the soft armor almost useless to her.

When it truly comes to battle, it's the Spirit Master who is most vulnerable!

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will protect her well."

These are just formalities that still need to be said.

"Alright, there's nothing else to explain. When you go to the academy, focus on your training and strive to graduate early — the Federation needs talents like you!"

"Yes, Second Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"Mhm."

Xiao Zhan then stood up and left.

Watching him leave, Ye Wudi sighed, "Big brother..."

Back in the room.

Ye Youlong was visibly startled when she saw the soft armor in Xiao Zhan's hands.

But she said nothing further.

She didn't ask, and Xiao Zhan couldn't be bothered to either.

Trying on the soft armor, unexpectedly, it had an automatic adaptation feature; it fit perfectly, neither too big nor too small. Moreover, it provided warmth in winter and coolness in summer—an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.

The only downside was that it was a bit damaged, affecting its appearance, but its efficiency was sufficient.

Next, he took out the gift from Ye Ajian.

Inside was a half-transparent fruit.

"This is... a Strong Spirit Fruit."

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but be surprised.

Strong Spirit Fruit, a type of Spirit Fruit that emerged after a mutation, often grants various enhancement effects to those who consume them.

The function of a Strong Spirit Fruit is to strengthen the attributes of the Spirit Master's Artifact Spirit Space; simply put, it enhances one's Talent Level!

Eating a Strong Spirit Fruit would strengthen the Artifact Spirit Space, greatly increasing its ability to absorb and filter Spirit Manipulation Energy, thereby enhancing the speed of cultivation.

However, this fruit also has its limitations.

The lower the Talent Level of the person, the greater the effect of the fruit; conversely, the higher the level, the less significant the effect.

Normally, a person at F-level could advance to E-level without issue.

But for someone at E-level, advancing to D-level would depend on luck.

It's a matter of fate or fortune.

As for someone at D-level advancing to C-level, that would be one in ten thousand chances.

Yet, even so, Strong Spirit Fruit is highly coveted in the market, leading to frenzied rushes whenever they appear.

They are absolutely priceless!

Xiao Zhan found it hard to imagine, Ye Ajian—a child with no awakened abilities—where did he manage to get such a Strong Spirit Fruit!

This fruit isn't something you can simply buy with money.

At this point, Ye Youlong suddenly said, "He probably knew your Talent Level was F, so he specifically went to get you a Strong Spirit Fruit. His academy is in Ling City, where there is no snow, and the nearest airport to us doesn't get much snow either; flights can take off and land without any problems."

"I guess the real reason he returned late was to find a Strong Spirit Fruit for you."

Hearing Ye Youlong's analysis, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt the Strong Spirit Fruit being incredibly significant.

He hadn't even met Ye Ajian; they were merely connected by association yet he went to such lengths.

Xiao Zhan was genuinely moved.

"I owe him a favor."

Although the Strong Spirit Fruit wasn't very useful for Xiao Zhan, it represented Ye Ajian's most sincere heart.

Unlike others who ridiculed him without understanding the situation, Ye Ajian treated him sincerely as a brother-in-law.

Such a person truly warms the heart.

...

The next day.

After getting up, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong bid farewell to everyone and set off for the White Emperor Spirit Academy.

Xiao Zhan would spend the next few years here.

The Federation Government has four Great Spirit Academies, which only recruit talents of Level B and above, encapsulating almost all the talents under the Federation Government.

These Four Great Spirit Academies are directly controlled by the Federation Government, adopting militarized management.

The fundamental purpose of the academies is to supply a large number of talents for the military! All objectives serve the Federation Government!

Because in this world, only the powerful Spirit Masters and Artifact Spirits are the basis for standing firm!

One day later.

The two reached the White Emperor Spirit Academy.

Because they had stayed a few extra days at the General Mansion, by the time they arrived, classes had already started two to three days ago.

The two went to the office to enroll.

The teacher in charge of registration surveyed Ye Youlong, with an SSS-level, and Xiao Zhan, with an F-level, with a look of surprise.

She held back several times, but ultimately didn't say much.

"For those enrolled under Life and Death Contracts, the Federation Government has a supportive policy; in the first semester, treatment is provided based on the highest Talent Level of both parties and you temporarily join Class One. Afterwards, treatment will be adjusted based on overall strength, and those who are lacking will have their benefits reduced. Do you two have any objections?"

The registration teacher said, lowering her head.

"No," Xiao Zhan replied.

He was aware of White Emperor Spirit Academy, where talent was the threshold and strength marked one's status!

All treatments ignore your background, focusing only on the strength that you demonstrate!

It is an academy truly dominated by the strongest!

Normally, his F-level status would not have gained him admission, even with Ye Wudi's help.

However, Life and Death Contractors always have special exceptions, so he was able to enter.

There are also many influential and wealthy individuals who, through this policy, find people from modest backgrounds with decent talent to sign Life and Death Contracts.

This allows their children with talents below Level B to enter the academy for studies.

This situation is tacitly accepted.

After all, where there are people, there are social dealings, even in the military, even in an academy that involves the lifeblood of the Federation Government.

However, at this moment, in the registration teacher's eyes, Xiao Zhan was an unusual case.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

According to the data, he wasn't from any influential family.

He looked at Ye Youlong, completely puzzled as to why an SSS-level talent like Ye Youlong would choose someone like him as a Life and Death Contract partner!

But these weren't his concerns.

"Alright, you may enter the classroom for studies now. I hope you both diligently cultivate in the coming days and don't let the academy's nurturing efforts go to waste, eventually contributing to the Federation Government!"

"Here are your dorm keys, Liang Zhu Apartment 208, don't lose them."

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan took the keys and then left with Ye Youlong.

After the two had departed, the registration teacher picked up their documents again and scrutinized them.

Her brows furrowed deeply.

"Could there be an error in the data, how is this possible? It's already the 128th year of the New Calendar, there shouldn't be any fools left."

...

After leaving the office.

Xiao Zhan and his companion decided to first go to the apartment to settle their belongings.

Meanwhile.

At Class One for freshmen, it happened to be break time when a student with short black hair rushed into the classroom.

"Earth-shattering news! Earth-shattering news!"

"SSS-level beauty Ye Youlong and a F-level guy have signed a Life and Death Contract!!"

"Exclusive news, reliable and true, liars will have their entire family die!"
