Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 491: The Two Brothers of the Ye Family

"Brother-in-law, the Secret Realm Origin you gave is really powerful; after absorbing it, my strength has jumped up another level. I haven’t yet reached it, but if there’s enough, I could break through to Fifth Grade Spirit Master in no time!"

Ye Ajian stopped fighting and happily ran over as he saw Xiao Zhan passing by,

eagerly asking for more Secret Realm Origin.

And with a grin, he seemed not the least bit embarrassed.

"That fast you absorbed it all? It hasn’t even been two hours, has it?" Xiao Zhan was somewhat surprised.

The Secret Realm Origin from the large water bed wasn’t distributed in large quantities to everyone, but it was calculated by Xiao Zhan to last them a while for gradual absorption.

But to his surprise, Ye Ajian had managed to absorb it all in less than two hours.

Truly worthy of having the bloodline of a Demon Beast.

"Of course, there’s still more. I have as much as you need."

Xiao Zhan generously offered.

One good turn deserves another. Xiao Zhan remembered clearly that when he first came to the Ye Family, they were not very welcoming, only Ye Ajian, who hadn’t even met him face-to-face, sent him a generous gift.

Even though that gift was not much use to him.

So at this moment, since Ye Ajian needed it, Xiao Zhan was not going to hold back.

He took out the Breathing Soil and handed it to Ye Ajian, "This Secret Realm Origin has a stronger energy concentration. Be careful not to absorb it too fiercely. It should be enough for you to use for a while. If it’s not enough, let me know."

"Now why is it soil? Brother-in-law, how come you have so much Secret Realm Origin?" Ye Ajian exclaimed.

For most people, encountering one type of Secret Realm Origin in their lifetime was already quite good, and yet his brother-in-law had two.

Isn’t that a bit too amazing?

"Haha, just lucky; picked it up along the way," Xiao Zhan said.

"Then next time, take me with you; I’m strong and can grab a lot." Ye Ajian’s eyes were alight, his eagerness apparent as he was ready to take action immediately.

Ye Anu, who was nearby, immediately scolded, "Ajian, remember who you are, you’re a soldier, not a bandit!"

As the word "bandit" came out, Ye Anu suddenly felt it was inappropriate.

His face was awash with embarrassment, "Brother-in-law, that’s not what I meant; I’m not saying you’re bandits, it’s just that being a bandit isn’t good... Ah, that’s not it either, if you want to be bandits it’s not that you can’t be..."

"..."

"...What am I even saying; I’ll stop talking. Anyway, brother-in-law, you get my point, right?"

"I get it, I understand," Xiao Zhan said with a smile, nodding repeatedly.

It didn’t really bother him.

Forget about not being a bandit, even if he was, so what?

When it comes to the Secret Realm Origin, some people wish they could become bandits but aren’t even able to.

"Brother-in-law, thank you for the Secret Realm Origin. I’m going to practice and absorb it now. Once I break through to Fifth Grade, let’s fight," Ye Ajian said at that moment.

Xiao Zhan saw the intense desire to fight in his eyes.

"You want to fight me?"

"Um!" Ye Ajian nodded with certainty, "I’m much stronger now; Fifth Grade Spirit Masters are no match for me. I’ve beat them all in the military camp; only my brother can spar with me. Once I break through to Fifth Grade, not even Sixth Grade Spirit Masters will be a match for me."

"That confident? That’s good. I’m also a Fifth Grade Spirit Master now. I’ve fought quite a few Sixth Grade Spirit Masters and none of them were my match. I can give you a good tussle."

Xiao Zhan’s competitive spirit was aroused.

This kid, cultivating faster than him, was a hit to his ego.

Though their ways of cultivation were different, relying more on the power of the Snow Demon King’s bloodline, it was still his legitimate strength. Xiao Zhan felt a bit put out being surpassed.

However, even if his cultivation speed was outstripped, he didn’t believe his actual combat strength was lesser.

An itch to fight was surfacing; perfect for scratching.

Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, Ye Ajian’s own competitive spirit flared up.

"Great, just you wait. It won’t be long; in less than half a month, I’ll have broken through."

After saying this, Ye Ajian couldn’t wait to go and cultivate with the Secret Realm Origin.

Xiao Zhan watched his retreating figure, shaking his head with a smile.

"You’re about to break through as well, right? Do you want me to save some for backup?" Xiao Zhan then asked Ye Anu.

Ye Anu shook his head, "No need. I’m not like that kid, Ajian, who guzzles it down. What you’ve given me will take a long time to absorb. I’ll come to you when I’ve finished."

"Alright then," Xiao Zhan didn’t insist.

Ye Anu then added, "Ajian truly has surged in strength quickly. I’ve cultivated for over a decade, and I’m nearly no match for him, and he hasn’t even cultivated for a year. But having such power at a young age isn’t necessarily a good thing for him."

Xiao Zhan saw a hint of concern on his face, "Is there a problem?"

"It’s not a particularly big issue, just that Ajian’s direction of cultivation isn’t quite aligned with what we acknowledge."

"How so?"

Ye Anu wanted to explain but after pondering, he didn’t know quite how to say it, "I can’t put it into words very well. When he breaks through to Fifth Grade and you fight him, you’ll notice the problem. We have discussed this with him and our father, but he has his own thoughts, and we can’t force him. If you could, when the time comes, please help him make some adjustments."

"Me help him adjust? If you all can’t solve the issue, what makes you think I can?"

"It’s different with you, you’re his idol. This kid has pictures of you and your sister’s heroic figures hanging in his room. He doesn’t listen to anyone, but he will absolutely listen to you."

Xiao Zhan, on hearing this, was surprised. He hadn’t expected to become Ye Ajian’s idol.

And he had even hung his portrait at home.

Could it be that exaggerated?

"Anyway, we’ve tried to advise him many times, to no avail. Whether you succeed or not, I hope you can try to help."

"Alright, I’ll do my best."

The two nodded, in agreement.

At last.

Ye Anu’s eyes lit up again, filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Xiao Zhan, "I’ve always known you were strong but never had a chance to spar with you. Why not take this chance to have a bout?"

"A bout? Are you sure?"

"A bout." Ye Anu was certain.

"Alright, let’s have a bout then."

Xiao Zhan was not the least bit polite.

Since his brother-in-law wanted a challenge, he would indulge him.

"But let’s make this clear, if you lose, no tattling, or else Uncle will blame me, your son-in-law, for bullying you brothers," Xiao Zhan joked.

As he spoke, the Death Aura was released from his body, and the Death Demon Scythe appeared in his hands.

"It’s normal for the elders to step in after the younger ones," Ye Anu joked back.

At the same time, he shook the Overlord Halberd in his hand, and a powerful domineering aura emitted from his body.

The two exchanged smiles and rushed towards each other.
