Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 294: It’s Like Cheating

The Flame Phoenix crashed onto the ground!

A powerful shockwave ensued from the impact, an energy explosion took place. The stone bricks of the plaza’s floor simply couldn’t withstand this force and were immediately blown into smithereens, scattering in all directions. The fierce flames splashed outwards, and some spectators who were too close got caught in them, immediately emitting agonized screams.

At the same time, Li Cungao, who was at the center of it all, was completely engulfed in the flames, meticulously and tightly, with not a single gap. Li Tianshan, who was behind him, was also wrapped in the flames.

Li Tianshan’s eyes widened in deep disbelief. He dared to make his breakthrough so openly and unguardedly because he believed Li Cungao could stop Xiao Zhan.

But never had he imagined that Xiao Zhan’s hidden strength would be so immense. So powerful that even Li Cungao, a Fifth Grade Spirit Master, seemed absolutely powerless before him!

Ah!!!

In an instant, a ghastly scream emanated from the exploding flame cloud!

But it was just a second before the scream completely ceased.

Devoured by the ferocious flames!

The scene which unfolded like a landslide, effortlessly fierce, along with the rising explosion cloud, instantly stunned everyone present.

The previously whispering and buzzing crowd fell into complete silence.

All eyes were fixed on the explosion cloud in the arena, as if they were dazed fools stunned by a bomb, their mouths agape, utterly unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Including those from the Xiao Family like Ghost Abacus.

After a while, as the energy in the arena dissipated, the tense and suffocating atmosphere among the spectators eased as well.

But the shock on their faces remained for a long time.

"We won... Xiao Yu won, no, I won! Hahaha!" someone who had bet on Xiao Zhan to win danced excitedly with joy.

However, before even half a second of elation passed, he felt a murderous intent coming from the people around him.

He then remembered that everyone around him had bet on Li Tianshan to win.

He chuckled awkwardly twice, not daring to be as brazen as before.

"Who exactly is this Xiao Yu, having disappeared for three years and reappearing after such time with such a shocking display!" those who lost their bets couldn’t help but feel emotional.

A Fourth Grade defeating two Fifth Grade Spirit Masters in a single move!

This was simply beyond their understanding, something they found completely unacceptable!

They even began to doubt for a moment, was this Xiao Yu really Xiao Yu?

At the seating area of the Li family.

Li Quanxian’s face had sunk to the utmost severity upon witnessing this scene. He had plotted a series of schemes for today’s battle, only for it all to fall apart because of the idiotic Li Tianshan!

He got up furiously and left his seat.

Before leaving, he took his eldest son with him.

If the son is untaught, the father is to blame.

He absolutely needed to vent this rage on someone.

Following the departure of the Li family.

There was naturally no need to speak of the outcome of this battle in the arena, Xiao Zhan certainly won.

And as for Li Cungao’s violation of the rules, with his death, that was that. After all, there was no one who truly dared to demand an explanation from the Li family.

Of course, this was mainly because they had no vested interest.

Without any official announcement for the match, Xiao Zhan walked down from the arena.

Even before he returned to the Xiao Family’s seating area, a crowd of people came to congratulate him. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Xiao Zhan didn’t care much for these superficial adulations; the more indifferent he appeared, the thicker their skins got in showering him with compliments.

Back at the Xiao Family’s seats, with guards blocking the way, things were much quieter.

"How are you, no injuries, right?" Hose asked approaching.

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "What injuries could I possibly have? I’m just a bit curious right now, why was Li Tianshan so anxious to attempt a breakthrough on the spot?"

Xiao Zhan was aware of the pill; it was the Ghost Abacus who had bribed someone from the Li family to give it to Li Tianshan deliberately just before the match.

At that time, he was confident in winning, so Xiao Zhan didn’t care about such things.

He didn’t need them either.

But based on previous analyses of Li Tianshan, he was a very cautious and sinister man who liked to plan things step by step and play his enemies like pawns in his palm.

Such a person would definitely use the pill at the last moment. Xiao Zhan and their previous analysis had thought so too.

However, they did not expect him to act a step ahead, surprising Xiao Zhan.

Hose shook his head at this question; he was just as puzzled about why Li Tianshan would do that.

As they were pondering, Han Jinhui came over with Han Dingxiang.

"Li Tianshan is cunning and vicious, of course, he wouldn’t use the pill so early, but under the influence of Dingxiang’s skills, he would unconsciously act out of character."

Xiao Zhan turned to look at them, his gaze falling on Han Dingxiang; he now understood that it was her hidden assistance.

The use of Han Dingxiang’s skills was always silent and undetectable unless one was paying attention; it was impossible to know she had acted, especially amidst the previous chaos.

Therefore, using her skills to influence Li Tianshan was exceptionally easy.

"Thank you." Xiao Zhan expressed his gratitude to Han Dingxiang.

Even without the help of Han Dingxiang, Xiao Zhan could still have won, but it definitely would not have been as effortless.

Han Dingxiang merely shook her head slightly in response to Xiao Zhan’s thanks, without saying anything.

In her eyes, there was always a touch of sadness.

It was then Han Jinhui laughed and said, "Well, since everyone is cheating, it comes down to who has the cleverer means, right?"

The Li family was cheating, the Xiao family was cheating, so it’s not too much for the Han family to help cheating a little, right?

"Indeed." Xiao Zhan also laughed heartily.

"Let’s go to the Xiao family house, you guys got first place today, shouldn’t we celebrate properly?" Han Jinhui added.

"Of course."

After that, the group returned to the Xiao family.

That night, the Xiao family prepared a lavish dinner to celebrate the victory.

After dinner, Xiao Zhan and the others discussed the upcoming competitions with Han Jinhui.

The next competition was the family competition.

This competition was different from the team competition, which was for the younger generation to spar with each other.

While the family competition was a real battle.

The rules of this competition were also very simple and straightforward: each family was free to send any number of people to Fushan Plain to kill Demon Beasts, for a period of one month. In the end, the points would be tallied based on the number and types of Demon Beasts killed among other factors.

Those points would then be added to this competition’s points according to certain weight, and the family with the highest total score would be the true number one!

This competition stipulated no killing between competitors.

Since there was no limitation on the number of participants, allowing fighting between participants would naturally lead to a major battle.

Such a loss would be intolerable for any family.
