“How could we lose?”

Wang Hui was dumbfounded as he repeated the words over and over again.

Zhou Jianghai suppressed his excitement and pretended to be sad as he patted Wang Hui’s shoulder.

“Well, don’t be too shocked by it, and also, thank you!”

Zhou Jianghai could no longer hold back his laughter. He laughed and left.

His laughter woke Wang Hui up. He looked at the unconscious Zhao Hui on the ground and quickly said, “Someone, hurry up and bring him to the infirmary!”

“Oh, oh!”

Students of Year 2 Class 4 finally recovered from the shock and hurriedly dragged Zhao Hui to the infirmary.

In the infirmary.

“It’s nothing serious. He just received a soul shock-type attack and fainted because he couldn’t take it mentally.”

The school doctor came to a conclusion after a round of examination and took out a few bottles of medicine for the students of Class 4 to feed Zhao Hui.

After a lot of fuss, Zhao Hui finally opened his eyes.

“How are you, Zhao Hui?” Seeing that he had woken up, Wang Hui hurriedly asked, “Was it a soul skill that Ye Haoran released? What did you feel?”

“D*mn it, there was a dragon…”

…

“Not bad, kid. Was that the soul shock skill?”

Zhou Jianghai rubbed his hands together excitedly.

There weren’t many possessed-type contract spirits that had skills, not to mention that it was a mental-shock type skill that was a jack of all trades.

Moreover, Ye Haoran’s goldfish was only a 1-star contract spirit!

“Is it possible that he was frightened by my overbearing aura?”

Ye Haoran’s face was calm as if he was stating a fact.

Zhou Jianghai’s mouth twitched and he regretted asking Ye Haoran this question.

After chatting for a while, Ye Haoran walked to the side. Su Chen had been waiting for him.

“F*ck, you’re so cool!”

Su Chen pretended to be shocked and said, “You made Zhao Hui faint the moment you opened your mouth. You’re really something.”

Ye Haoran thought to himself, “Why does your description sound so lame?”

“I won five low-level vicious beast inner cores today. Let me treat you to a meal.”

Zhangjiawan’s food stall.

“The two dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal.”

Su Chen frowned.

“Isn’t this place too shabby for us?”

Ye Haoran picked up the skewers without any hesitation and started eating. He answered while eating, “Hurry up and eat. It’s definitely delicious!”

A moment later, Su Chen licked his lips as if he had not had enough. The bamboo sticks in front of him had already piled up into a small mountain.

“It smells so good! Ye Haoran, you really know how to find a good place.”

Ye Haoran was about to tease him when options suddenly appeared in his mind.

What was different from the past was that the options frame this time was dark red, and there was a two-minute countdown in the lower right corner.

Ye Haoran immediately understood that this was an emergency option with a time limit.

[Option 1: Leave immediately to avoid the impact of the battle. Reward: Increase escape speed by 5%.]

[Option 2: Hide in the distance and wait for the opportunity to strike. Reward: Increase vision by 10%.]

[Option 3: Save the spirit guard who is being chased. Reward: High-level vicious beast inner core +1.]

Below this option was a constantly changing mini-map, on which a green dot and a red dot were constantly chasing each other.

The spirit guard! Ye Haoran’s body trembled. It didn’t seem like he could save him.

The spirit guards were law enforcers who specialized in maintaining the safety of society. Their main purpose was to prevent spiritualists from causing trouble, and they were extremely powerful.

Now, they were being hunted down and the reward offered by the system was so generous. There was something wrong!

However, Ye Haoran still decided to go over and take a look.

He took out some money from his pocket and put it on the table. He said to Su Chen, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. You can pay for the rest of the meal.”

After he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.

Su Chen looked at the two one-yuan coins Ye Haoran gave him and fell into deep thought.

On the other side of the city, in an unfinished building.

“Hey, can’t you just give me the thing and we’ll be even?”

A lazy voice was heard. A young man in a blue hoodie was standing on a black bird, speaking to the figure in black who was running ahead.

“Jiang Congnan, you’re all too bold!”

The black-robed figure’s hoarse voice rang out. The black-robed figure’s black spirit guard badge on his chest was already stained with blood.

“Ha, how unlucky. The memorial ceremony was actually destroyed by you.”

The young man’s eyes turned cold as he thought of something unpleasant. The corner of his eyes twitched.

“I was about to succeed, but I didn’t expect you to steal the sacrifice! You will die today!”

As he spoke, his silver spiritual power poured directly into Blackbird’s body. The Blackbird under his feet let out a long cry and its speed increased rapidly.

“Huff—Huff—!”

Ye Haoran gasped for breath as he tried to identify the small map in his mind.

His current position should be where the two of them were about to reach.

He ran for 20 minutes just to see what the situation was like.

If he could do it, he would do it. If he couldn’t, he would run away. His life was more important.

“What?”

Ye Haoran squinted his eyes slightly. Two figures in the distance were moving quickly toward him.

When he saw the silver spiritual power on the young man who was at the back, his expression became a bit ugly.

This silver-colored spiritual power… He was at least a great spiritualist!

At each stage of cultivation, the color of the spiritual power of a spiritualist would be different. From a spirit apprentice to a spiritualist, and then to a great spiritualist, the colors were white, gray, and silver respectively.

Ye Haoran himself was only at Level 2. How could he deal with a Level 30 great spiritualist?

Thinking of this, he wanted to run away.

Just as he was hesitating, the spirit guard, who wanted to put some distance between them, suddenly sped up and arrived near Ye Haoran in an instant.

“Hmm, is there someone?”

The spirit guard noticed Ye Haoran at the first moment and looked at him with cold eyes.

Ye Haoran quickly raised his hands to show that he had no weapons. At the same time, he showed him the school emblem of Beitong No. 2 High School.

“Are you a student?”

The spirit guard pondered for a moment and looked at Blackbird that was about to catch up. He threw away a cloth bag that he was carrying in his arms.

“Take it, quickly go and give it to your teacher, quickly!”

“F*ck!”

Ye Haoran subconsciously caught the cloth bag. When he looked up, the hooded young man’s cold eyes had already swept over.

“Aren’t you scamming me? I’m only Level 2!”

This young man in the hoodie didn’t look like a good person. If he got caught, he would be skinned!

“Oh my god!”

Ye Haoran let out a strange cry and ran with all his might. As he ran, he shouted, “Help! A pervert is trying to catch me!”

Unfortunately, this was a remote suburb with very few people. His cry for help was naturally like a stone sinking into the sea.

[Reward acquired: High-level vicious beast inner core +1.]

Was this counted as saving the spirit guard? But it seemed as if he was taking the blame for the spirit guard?!

Ye Haoran wanted to cry but when he turned around, Blackbird had already arrived behind him. The sinister aura that it exuded made his hair stand on end.

Ye Haoran suddenly thought of something and quickly found the “time traveler” experience that he had previously obtained in the system space.

The moment he used it, Ye Haoran’s figure flickered and appeared in the distance.

“Eh?”

Jiang Congnan was taken aback. Why did he feel like he had seen someone teleport? Was it an illusion?

However, when he caught up with Ye Haoran again, Ye Haoran’s figure appeared in the distance. The young man in the hoodie looked at the torn pieces of cloth from the school uniform in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Someone could actually teleport?

At this moment, Ye Haoran couldn’t help but shiver. The back of his school uniform had been torn into strips by Blackbird.

However, he was a little excited now. The “time traveler” given by the system was really a cheat.

As long as he thought of a certain place in his mind, he would teleport there in a few seconds. The system had just provided him with the instructions.

Seeing that the young man in the hoodie couldn’t catch up with him, Ye Haoran suddenly felt a little light-headed. Looking at Blackbird that was chasing him, an idea formed in his mind.

He silently memorized a location in the distance and stood still, waiting for Jiang Congnan to come.

Jiang Congnan was stunned. Could it be that his opponent’s teleportation ability had a cooldown and could not be used?

Directing Blackbird to Ye Haoran, Jiang Congnan looked down at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Being able to teleport was a very powerful skill, especially when the other party was only a spirit apprentice. If they could recruit him into the organization, they would be able to cultivate a future powerhouse.

Ye Haoran didn’t care about Jiang Congnan. He was staring at Blackbird in front of him.

If it wasn’t for this d*mn bird, he would have run away long ago.

“What are you looking at, you flat-haired animal, black pouncing moth!”

Ye Haoran’s eyes widened. He then stretched out his hand and gave the bird a big blow on its head.

Blackbird had question marks in its head. It thought that Ye Haoran was going to surrender, but he stopped just to give it a slap?

Blackbird’s pupils turned red in an instant. It let out a long screech and darted out without waiting for Jiang Congnan’s consent. It had to tear this insolent fool into a thousand pieces!

At this time, Ye Haoran had already teleported and appeared in the distance. He rubbed his palm, which was already red and swollen, and grimaced in pain.

“Feathered animal, your head is so hard!”

Ye Haoran flicked his hand and saw the crazy Blackbird rushing toward him. He quickly started to run.

“You f*cking animal, what’s with your sudden mental outburst?”

Jiang Congnan held on to Blackbird’s feathers tightly for fear of falling from the sky.

He was so focused on recruiting Ye Haoran that he didn’t even notice the latter’s little trick. Somehow, his contract spirit went crazy.

“Huh?!!!”

Jiang Congnan’s pupils constricted as he saw Ye Haoran scurrying through the window of an unfinished building.

Although the window was not finished, it was only big enough for Blackbird to pass through.

“Bang!”

After a loud bang, Jiang Congnan slammed against the window and slid down the wall.

Fortunately, it was only on the third floor, so Jiang Congnan didn’t fall to his death.

Looking at Ye Haoran, who had just pulled out a few feathers of Blackbird in the distance, and then at the crazy Blackbird, Jiang Congnan was a little dumbfounded.

He was actually being played around with like a dog by a Level 2 spiritualist?

Did teleportation skills not have a cooldown and did not consume spiritual power?

Seeing that the man and the bird were about to rush into the city, Jiang Congnan directly put the contract spirit back into the beast taming space.

After remembering Ye Haoran’s cheerful face, Jiang Congcong left unwillingly.

“Has he left?”

Blackbird had disappeared without a trace so Ye Haoran turned to look at the cloth bag in his hand.
