Soul Slaying Maiden: Master Of Ancient Divine Weapons

[Shocking! A student from Qingteng Academy in our city awakens an SSS-level Spiritual Pact Master talent but falls for beauty, degrading himself, and contracts with a worthless E-level spiritual entity.]

[Famous critic Cai Xin states that this young man lacks a sense of responsibility, calling it utterly absurd and a self-destructive act.]

[Zhao Hu, acting deputy captain of the Deep Blue City Guardian Organization, says this is a personal choice and refrains from further comment, but the Guardian Organization is disappointed.]

[Citizens voluntarily petition to expel such parasites wasting academy resources from Deep Blue City and exile them to the lower district as a warning to others. Currently, Qingteng Academy Principal Chen Guangpu has not yet responded.]

"…"

In just one night, the news of Han Zhan awakening SSS-level talent and contracting an E-level spiritual entity spread rapidly throughout Deep Blue City.

Public resentment surged, and criticism poured in.

Some scolded Han Zhan, calling him an idiot for wasting his talent, squandering the academy's cultivation efforts, and betraying the entire Daxia populace.

Others labeled Xia Youwei as a vixen, accusing her of seducing men and deserving a terrible end, demanding her identity be exposed and publicized.

In the luxurious Yage Li Hotel, Zhao Hu exhaled a puff of smoke as he leisurely narrowed his eyes while reading these vitriolic remarks.

"Godfather, you're amazing!"

Behind him, Xiao Mei spoke in a delighted tone.

"In what way am I amazing?" Zhao Hu, in a great mood, replied with a question.

"Ugh, you're so annoying." Xiao Mei pouted coquettishly.

"This wave of public opinion is just an appetizer, a prelude to what's coming. When the Spiritual Contract Master test begins, I'll make sure he understands what true cruelty is."

"Daring to cross me without gauging his level? Courting death!"

"It's still early. Let's do some warm-up exercises."

———

When Han Zhan arrived at Qingteng Academy, everyone around him pointed fingers and whispered.

Occasionally, disdainful chuckles echoed.

Before long, Xia Youwei also appeared at the school gate.

Her face was somewhat pale, as though she hadn't rested well. Spotting Han Zhan, she quickly jogged over.

"I'm… I'm sorry…"

Xia Youwei twisted her fingers nervously, lowering her head as she mumbled.

If it weren't for her, Han Zhan wouldn't have suffered such slander and insults. She felt deeply guilty.

Han Zhan, however, laughed heartily, showing no concern, and reached out to ruffle Xia Youwei's hair.

"Stop apologizing for everything. You're the school beauty—be more confident."

As he spoke, he shoved a bag into Xia Youwei's arms.

"What's this?"

"Bread and milk. I figured you probably skipped breakfast. Don't mess up during the Spiritual Contract Master test later."

Holding the breakfast, warmth surged in Xia Youwei's heart, and she nodded vigorously.

"Un!"

"As for those clowns," Han Zhan's tone shifted, "let them see clearly who the real trash and idiots are."

"We'll slap them right in the face."

"Mm!"

The Spiritual Pact Master test is a major event held annually after the Awakening Assembly.

Its purpose is to filter out unqualified Spiritual Pact Masters and spiritual entities, determining their respective placements.

The test comprises three phases: combat, healing, and decision-making.

Each test is independently scored.

In other words, as long as you pass one category, you'll be assigned to the corresponding role.

Combat is for warriors—whether it's frontline battles, fortification assaults, or relic explorations, suitable combat teams are available.

Healing pertains to medical support within teams or battlefield hospitals in the rear.

Decision-making, often overseen directly by the Command Division, seeks young "brains" capable of managing diverse battlefield scenarios.

The Spiritual Pact Master test is of significant importance, and each test is officially broadcast in various cities to the public.

Those who fail all three categories are exiled to the lower district.

Survival of the fittest.

This world is cruel yet authentic.

When Han Zhan and Xia Youwei arrived at the test site, many participants had already gathered.

Han Zhan immediately spotted Xiao Mei in the crowd. After one night, she seemed rejuvenated, as if she had taken some kind of tonic.

Before he could take a second look, Xia Youwei stepped in front of him, blocking his view with the back of her head.

"Don't look!"

'She's getting jealous?'

Han Zhan smirked and ruffled her hair into a mess, making Xia Youwei shriek in protest.

"You're Han Zhan, right?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. A proud-looking young man approached.

"And you are?"

"I'm Xiao Mei's Spiritual Pact Master, Wang Lümao."

"Pfft." Han Zhan almost choked on his own spit.

'What a name. Truly creative.'

Wang Lümao's face darkened. "What are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, I just thought of something really funny and couldn't hold it in."

"Hmph, clown. Attention-seeker. Han Zhan, not choosing Mei'er will be your biggest regret."

"If I had chosen her, there wouldn't be any role left for you, right? Then where would you be? Crying under your blanket, sobbing, 'boohoohoo'?"

Han Zhan showed no mercy, snapping back instantly.

Wang Lümao clenched his fists instinctively. "You—"

"Lümao, don't stoop to his level. He's just a loser about to be exiled to the lower district," Xiao Mei interjected as she walked over from the crowd.

She glared fiercely at Xia Youwei, who was standing close to Han Zhan, acting intimate, before hooking her arm around Wang Lümao's and heading toward the test site.

The test had begun.

The first stage was combat.

Spiritual Contract Masters and their entities would enter a specialized combat space where the number and types of insectoids gradually increased with the test's difficulty.

Inside the combat space, Wang Lümao and Xiao Mei stood side by side.

[Test Difficulty Level 1: First-order insectoid, Black Bovine Beetle, one unit.]

As the examiner's voice echoed, the gate across from them opened, releasing an insect roughly the size of a calf.

Black Bovine Beetles, first-order insectoids, are known for their brute strength, low intelligence, and thick hide.

For newly awakened first-order Spiritual Contract Masters, it's a considerable challenge.

Wang Lümao shouted, his body radiating emerald light that gathered at his head, forming a pearl-like droplet.

"S-grade talent, Like Dew at Dawn."

This talent greatly enhances the attributes of both the caster and their spiritual entity.

Xiao Mei transformed into her spear form. With the amplification of "Like Dew at Dawn," the spear radiated an ethereal glow, exuding an extraordinary presence.

"Break!"

As the Black Bovine Beetle charged, Wang Lümao gripped the spear tightly and thrust it forward.

The sharp spear pierced straight into its body. The beetle let out a shrill cry.

Yet, true to its thick hide, it pushed forward, relying on sheer brute strength despite being stabbed in a vital spot.

Wang Lümao gritted his teeth and focused, executing Blood Cleansing Silver Spear.

In the next instant, white spiritual energy erupted, fully penetrating the Black Bovine Beetle with a single strike.

First-order Black Bovine Beetle, eliminated.

"Next!" Wang Lümao raised his spear triumphantly, brimming with fighting spirit.

The onlookers erupted in astonished cheers.

"Wow, he's so impressive!"

"Is this the power of an S-grade Spiritual Pact Master? It's incredible."

"The S-grade entity 'Jade Blooded Silver Spear'—even a thick-skinned Black Bovine Beetle couldn't withstand it."

"What about Han Zhan, that loser who contracted an E-grade entity? I just want to see the expression on his face now, hahaha!"

"Don't rush. He's up next. Hurry and watch. The clown show is about to start."
