Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 26: Not Convinced? What Do You Think You Are?
Chapter 26 - 26: Not Convinced? What Do You Think You Are?
The teacher did know Xiao Zhan's information, unexpectedly an F-grade could remain composed amidst a crowd of talents, she looked at him with higher regard.
After exchanging a couple of pleasantries, she formally started the class.
"Today, we're going to discuss the power structure necessary for becoming a formidable Spirit Master! It consists of three elements: Spirit Manipulation Energy, Spirit Manipulation Technique, and compatibility!"
"Spirit Manipulation Energy needs no further explanation, it's the fundamental source of a Spirit Master's power, capable of enhancing all aspects of both the Spirit Master and Artifact Spirit's attributes, while also delivering powerful offensive impacts! The more Spirit Manipulation Energy an Artifact Spirit Space contains, and the purer it is, the stronger the power."
"Spirit Manipulation Technique is a type of skill built upon Spirit Manipulation Energy, integrating the attributes of an Artifact Spirit and the perception of the Spirit Master, thus developing a powerful skill! Generally, the higher the Artifact Spirit Level, the more powerful the developed skills!"
"The last element is compatibility, the crux of it all. If Spirit Manipulation Energy and Spirit Manipulation Technique are a sharp blade, then compatibility is the hand that wields the blade. Without compatibility, one might not even be able to hold the knife. But with perfect compatibility, the knife becomes an invincible true weapon..."
At this point, she glanced at Zhao Long.
Currently, he was the only one in class who hadn't made a Contracted Artifact Spirit, but she presumed that by the end of today, he would probably go and contract one.
For that, thanks should be given to Ye Youlong.
Yet, thinking of Ye Youlong, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.
It's beyond comprehension, how such a promising talent would contract an F-grade like Xiao Zhan.
However, she couldn't be bothered to pay too much attention; it wasn't her responsibility.
At the White Emperor Spirit Control Academy, you may act, but you must have the talent to back it up.
Without talent, you're naturally eliminated!
Very soon.
The content of today's class was finished.

"Alright, one last thing. In a month's time, there will be a competition among the new students. The first place winner will be granted a three-day training opportunity in the White Emperor Secret Realm. I hope you all prepare well!"
With that, the teacher left the classroom.
After she left, several girls who were on good terms with Ye Youlong immediately surrounded her.
As for the competition among the new students a month later, it happens every year, they already knew and had long been preparing.
They approached Ye Youlong, curiously sizing up Xiao Zhan.
"Youlong, is this your Life and Death Contract partner? You've got quite the nerve; we all only dare to make equal contracts."
"Youlong, the tattoo on your forehead looks really nice."
"You're Xiao Zhan, right? To sign a Life and Death Contract with our most talented beauty, you must be SSS-grade, right?"
This last question was their true point of interest.
After asking this, they looked at Xiao Zhan, waiting for his answer.
But Xiao Zhan merely stayed silent, smiling faintly.
Giving off an air of mysterious confidence.
They mostly guessed the answer, but since he didn't speak it, they remained dubious and thus turned their gaze back towards Ye Youlong.
Ye Youlong remained silent too, but with a cold expression.
She definitely wouldn't answer their questions.
It actually didn't matter if Xiao Zhan's talent was revealed—SSS-grade is rare, but not enough to make people jealous.
Her real reason for keeping silent was because of Xiao Zhan's Bloodline Talent Skills.
Because if Xiao Zhan disclosed his talent, the academy would certainly reassess it, and during the assessment, they would also detect his bloodline talents.
Once his Bloodline Talent Skills were made public, there would inevitably be various people offering all sorts of conditions to tempt Xiao Zhan.
She couldn't accept the possibility of Xiao Zhan contracting with other Artifact Spirits.
Of course, these were selfish thoughts.
More importantly, Xiao Zhan's Bloodline Skill was too terrifying; if exposed, the trouble it would attract could be far more lethal than any temptation.
And for this matter, she could guarantee with complete certainty that there would be people who would take action!
Neither of them answered.
Unable to get the information they wanted, the girls were a bit relentless, continuing to probe with random questions.
At the same time, in the back row.
Zhao Long watched Xiao Zhan put on an air of smugness, feeling utterly irked as if his chest was about to explode.
"Damn it, haven't you found his information yet?" Zhao Long turned around and asked angrily.
The underling tasked with the investigation was nervous, staring intently at his phone, "Brother Long, it's almost ready, almost ready..."
Suddenly, with a pleased expression, his furrowed brows relaxed, "Got it!"
Whoosh!
Zhao Long snatched the phone away, and Xiao Zhan's profile was laid bare before him.
Xiao Zhan, orphan, Changchi City Spirit Academy, F-grade, no Bloodline Talent Skills...
With every piece of information, Zhao Long's anger grew!
He had thought Ye Youlong would scout out some kind of genius but never expected her to settle for such trash!
F-grade?
Is Ye Youlong brain damaged?
"Brother Long, could there be something wrong with this information? F-grade, no Bloodline Talent Skills. It just doesn't seem plausible for him to be the contract partner of the night's belle," the underling doubted the authenticity of the information.
F-grade?
Those were the leftovers given a chance to contract an Artifact Spirit. If one was ugly and without Bloodline Talent Skills, they could very well go their whole lives without forming a Contract.
Besides his good looks, on what grounds could Xiao Zhan compete?
This isn't an age where appearance is everything. Sure, beauty is a bonus.
Zhao Long gazed at Xiao Zhan's smiling face, polite though it was, it irked him to no end.
Especially his eyes, which mocked him like Mona Lisa's, radiating ridicule from every possible angle!
He couldn't hold back anymore and stood up, "We'll see if it's fake with just one question!"
With fierce momentum, he headed towards Xiao Zhan. People who crossed his path could guess Zhao Long's intent. His coveted contract partner was taken by someone else; he surely couldn't accept that.
As one who couldn't tolerate much, it was certain he was out for trouble with Xiao Zhan.
Everyone knew better than to incite his wrath.
They consciously made way for him.
The few people gathered around Ye Youlong exchanged looks and immediately stepped aside.
Zhao Long stopped in front of Ye Youlong, slammed the phone on the table without even glancing at Xiao Zhan, and demanded, "Give me one reason, why him and not me?"
The atmosphere fell silent!
All eyes were on the scene.
Ye Youlong did not look at the phone, nor did she glance at Zhao Long. She coldly replied, "Since when do I need to explain my choices to you?"
"Yes, you don't have to tell me, it's your prerogative! But I can't accept this!" Zhao Long picked up the phone again, showed it to everyone, and after making a round, he said again, "If you had chosen someone SS-grade, even S-grade, I would have accepted it, but you had to pick an F-grade, someone without any Bloodline Talent Skills! Tell me, why! How am I inferior to him!"
Zhao Long's voice had a hint of a roar.
He could accept defeat but losing to someone like Xiao Zhan was intolerable!
Baffled!
And with his outburst, whispers surged through the classroom.
"The rumors are true, Xiao Zhan really is F-grade!"
"No way, what is the night's belle thinking? With so many choices, why go for an F-grade?"
"The night's belle is the face of this year's freshmen. Even without a suitable SSS-grade partner, she could easily form an equal Contract with an SS-grade and later approach an SSS-grade powerhouse as her power grows."
"Yeah, I can't make sense of it. Totally baffling."
People shook their heads in confusion.
Meanwhile, Ye Youlong, the person in question, finally looked at Zhao Long amidst his questioning, her eyes brimming with cold laughter and disdain, "Who are you to question me? Do I need to explain my decisions to someone like you, Zhao Long?"
