Chapter 232: Coward
No one expected Shou Jingyuan to make such a bold declaration.
Of course...
No one expected this Bifang Divine Beast to take it seriously.
Normally, such statements were just provocative bluster.
"If he doesn't return?"
Shou Jingyuan sneered back.
"Name your conditions!"
Yun Man raised her sharp chin proudly, her face full of extreme trust in Ling Zhan, even to the point of obsession, making Shou Jingyuan even more furious!
Why did that guy have such unwavering loyalty from these three divine beasts!?
He had thought the contract between Ling Zhan and the three divine beasts was due to some binding condition.
But now he realized...
The three divine beasts willingly contracted with Ling Zhan, and Ling Zhan even held the dominant position in the contract!
Thinking of this.
The unwillingness and intense jealousy in Shou Jingyuan's heart made him say harshly:
"If he doesn't come out, then you three divine beasts must forcibly break your contract with him and then contract with me!"
"How about it?"
Now you don't dare, right?
Shou Jingyuan thought, sneering.
However...
The three divine beast girls exchanged glances, and their beautiful faces showed a unified, serene smile!
This...
Why were they so confident in that non-specialist!?
Could he really be a chosen one?
"Fine! I agree to your condition!"
"Swear by your soul!"
Yun Man raised her fair hand, directly swearing a soul oath to Shou Jingyuan!
Chang Yue and Meng Shuang also stepped forward, raising their jade hands: "Swear by our souls!"
Buzz!!
The spiritual shadows of the divine beasts appeared behind them.
Divine Bird.
Qinglong.
Jade Rabbit.
The bloodline pressure from the three divine beast soul shadows made many students present feel an extreme pressure!
Even their breathing became labored!
"Damn... they're serious?"
"If you were Shou Jingyuan, would you dare?"
"Why not? At worst, I'll eat shit if I lose. But if I win, I get to contract with three divine beasts! Plus, the chance of Ling Zhan making it out is very slim! Those Demon Arrival beasts are no pushovers!"
"You're right, I'd bet too!"
"..."
The surrounding students whispered.
Many thought Shou Jingyuan had a great deal.
Ling Zhan was definitely dead inside!
Shou Jingyuan had almost no chance of losing!
And he stood to gain three divine beasts!
Even the teachers' eyebrows raised slightly, thinking Shou Jingyuan had struck gold.
Ke Long also eagerly said, "Brother Yuan, take the bet! Free contracts with three divine beasts! You lack divine beast contracts, right? With them, you might rival Li Chaoge!"
Shou Jingyuan's heart was heavily tempted.
Seeing the three divine beasts exuding terrifying pressure, his eyes showed strong greed.
But...
Shou Jingyuan felt an intense premonition of danger!
Was he being paranoid?
No!
Something was definitely wrong!
Shou Jingyuan had repeatedly escaped fatal death on the front lines, almost entirely relying on this seemingly neurotic danger sense!
Right now...
His right eyelid was twitching wildly!
They say left eyelid twitching brings fortune, right eyelid twitching brings disaster.
This seemed to be a sign that accepting this bet would bring bad luck!
Without hesitation, Shou Jingyuan exhaled slowly and looked at Ke Long: "You take the bet. If we win, I'll share one divine beast contract with you!"
Ke Long's eyes widened, his face filled with joy: "Really, Brother Yuan? Alright! I'll bet!"
"If we lose, I'll eat shit for you!"
"Of course, but there's no way we'll lose!"
Finished speaking.
He approached Yun Man, sneering: "I'll bet on behalf of Brother Yuan, is that okay?"
The surrounding people, seeing this, exclaimed in disbelief.
"Shou Jingyuan is scared."
"Coward, afraid of eating shit."
"Haha, acts all high and mighty, but when it comes to a bet, he chickens out, letting his unlucky underling take the fall, how disgraceful!"
Shou Jingyuan's temporary evasion drew merciless ridicule from the surrounding students.
Making Shou Jingyuan's face even more unpleasant.
But he didn't let anger cloud his judgment.
His right eyelid twitched more violently.
A sense of danger became clearer.
Shou Jingyuan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
Yun Man looked disdainfully at Ke Long, snorting coldly.
Her attitude seemed to say, do you, this small fry, have the right to bet with me?
"Shou Jingyuan, if you don't dare to bet, just admit it. No need to let your unlucky underling take the fall."
"Forget it..."
"Coward, I thought you could compete with my master, but apparently, you're nothing."
Yun Man shrugged, withdrawing her soul shadow.
Now, they called Ling Zhan master.
Because Ling Zhan was fully qualified to be their master!
With equal strength and compatibility, they would consider a contractee as a peer ally.
But Ling Zhan had strength far surpassing theirs.
In this world, strength speaks!
Thus, someone who could make divine beasts willingly call 'master' was impressive.
"Damn!!"
Being humiliated in front of everyone by Yun Man, Shou Jingyuan's sensitive pride couldn't bear it.
The magical patterns etched into his flesh flared with bright blue light, a terrifying magic force radiating from him, spreading like a destructive vortex!
"What?"
"Want to fight? I'm game!"
Yun Man sneered, waving her hand!
Whoosh!
Huge flaming wings unfurled from her back!
The overwhelming heat wave forced the surrounding students back several meters!
Just as their battle was about to erupt.
And the teachers were about to intervene...
Buzz!!
A sudden change!
A power, superior to everyone present, descended instantly!
Crack!!
Even the space couldn't bear this vast power, rapidly collapsing around them!
Simultaneously.
A profound, mysterious force appeared in everyone's mind, sweeping each person's existence into an unknown whirlpool of fate!
But this sudden change.
Made the previously frowning Teacher Cao Guanlin laugh out loud!
The teachers didn't know why Cao Guanlin was laughing.
But the next second...
When they saw the space in front of the camp shatter, and figures appear...
Huh!?
In an instant.
The teachers' faces showed visible shock and surprise!
