Dragon Kingdom, capital city, dedicated building for awakened individuals.
"You mean... this is Fang Xian's daily life?"
A woman in a black uniform looked at Fang Xian's information with slightly furrowed brows.
Her face was delicate and refined, with long, thin eyebrows that revealed a subtle but unwavering determination.
Her hair was jet black and glossy, cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, and exuding a faint fragrance.
This woman is none other than Mu Wanyao, the youngest level 91 "Paladin" in history.
Are you sure?
Mu Wanyao still couldn't quite believe the report in front of her. Fang Xian, who had awakened his SP talent, showed no desire to level up at all.
You should know that when she awakened her SSS talent, she raced against time to enter dungeons and advance her rank.
This place is so peaceful now, it's really quite peaceful.
The female secretary sighed and answered helplessly.
"Yes..."
"When he awakened his SP talent, we immediately sent people to monitor Fang Xian, and the information they received confirmed it."
Mu Wanyao's face was grim. It was bad enough that the SP talent had awakened in a Contract Master.
As it turns out, Fang Xian was still a coward who was afraid of death and obsessed with women.
Looking at Yukino's photo, she had to admit that Yukino's looks and figure were no less than hers, and she certainly had the looks to make people fall in love.
Mu Wanyao found it increasingly strange, feeling that Yukino looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
But I couldn't remember it no matter what I did, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
"Lin Mengqian? How is she?"
The female secretary answered respectfully.
"She's pretty good. She went straight to the dungeon to level up as soon as she woke up. She's very brave and skilled in battle."
"However, she was extremely arrogant and looked down on those who traveled with her."
Mu Wanyao nodded, a look of appreciation on her face.
When it comes to arrogance, who is more arrogant than Mu Wanyao?
"Having pride is a good thing; it will help her grow."
Mu Wanyao stared into thought as she looked at the photos of Fang Xian and Lin Mengqian on the table.
Historically speaking, SP talent is indeed the most powerful talent, but Fang Xian's profession is a contract master, and he may also be an unambitious playboy.
If the nation's resources are invested in Fang Xian, it could very well hinder the rise of another genius.
After weighing the pros and cons and thinking it over again, she decided to give Fang Xian a chance.
"If Fang Xian can reach level 10 within three days, we will allocate the first priority resources to him."
"Then I'll allocate some of my resources to Lin Mengqian, so as not to jeopardize her future."
"If Fang Xian still doesn't make progress, then give up his first place to Lin Mengqian."
"Yes, Commander Mu."
Mu Wanyao paused, then asked:
"How's the news about Fang Xian awakening his SP talent going?"
"The news has been blocked and stopped from spreading. There aren't many people who know that Fang Xian has SP talent now."
"Hmm, have you spotted any suspicious individuals near Fang Xian and the others?"
Not yet.
"We cannot let our guard down; we must strengthen protection."
"yes."
The female secretary recorded the instructions, but seeing that Mu Wanyao had no further instructions, she hesitated to speak.
Mu Wanyao noticed her unusual behavior and spoke calmly.
"Is there anything else?"
"yes..."
The female secretary closed her notebook and looked at Mu Wanyao with concern.
"Commander Mu, Young Master Wang has asked you out again today, would you like to..."
"Stop."
Mu Wanyao gently scolded her, stopping her from continuing.
"You may leave."
"yes..."
The female secretary bowed helplessly and left, closing the door behind her.
She was stopped by an older woman as she walked down the corridor.
"Did Wanyao agree to meet Young Master Wang?"
"No, Commander Mu doesn't seem interested at all..."
The woman frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
"Young Master Wang is at the very top of the pyramid in terms of appearance, strength, and background. Why doesn't Wanyao have any interest in him at all?"
"Does she have someone she likes?"
The female secretary shook her head.
"I've been with Commander Mu for many years and I've never seen her have a boyfriend."
"Sigh, Wanyao is so beautiful, powerful, and holds a high position, is there really no one who can catch his eye?"
"I don't know... Commander Mu might be waiting for the one she has in mind."
—A peerless hero.
...
Yunjing Villa, Yongjiang City.
"To be your contractual partner?"
"Fine, if I, Lin Mengqian, lose, I'll be your slave."
"But I will never lose."
Lin Mengqian looked proud and confident.
"Hehe, it's a deal."
Fang Xian revealed a smug smile, but in Lu Chengming's eyes it was "the smile of a fool."
"I object."
Zhu Debiao was extremely anxious and quickly jumped out to stop Fang Xian.
He grabbed Fang Xian and pulled her away from them, speaking in a low voice.
"Fang Xian, what are you doing? Didn't you understand me when I spoke tactfully?"
Fang Xian looked at Zhu Debiao's anxious expression with amusement.
"I understand."
"Then why did you fight her?"
"Principal Zhu, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Seeing Fang Xian's confident demeanor, Zhu Debiao knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Go ahead, and remember, don't lose face, even if you lose the game."
"By the way, call me Principal."
"Yes, Principal."
Fang Xian slowly walked up to Lin Mengqian and smiled confidently.
"We can begin."
"Ha, you didn't back out. In fact, it makes me think more highly of you."
Lin Mengqian looked at Xue Nai and said, "Let's go to the back garden for a duel."
Yukino let out a long sigh, her eyes resolute.
"good."
Fang Xian was surprised that the timid and shy Yukino would stand up. She must have thought that as the contract partner, she was going to duel with Lin Mengqian.
"Wait, it seems you've misunderstood."
"Lin Mengqian, your opponent is not Yukino, it's me."
Lin Mengqian and Xue Nai both looked at Fang Xian in surprise, completely unexpected.
"and you?"
Lin Mengqian immediately realized what was happening and spoke calmly.
"It's alright. As a contract master, it's only natural that it's two against one. I accept your teamwork."
Fang Xian raised his hand to stop Yukino's persuasion and spoke with great conviction.
"No, no, no, you've got it wrong."
"Your only opponent is me."
"Arrogant."
Lin Mengqian snorted coldly.
"As you wish, let's go to the back garden."
No, no, no.
"What's wrong now?"
"No need to go to the back garden, we can stay here?"
"Right here in the living room?"
"right."
Everyone looked at Fang Xian with doubt. Although the living room was quite spacious, it was obviously not enough as a dueling arena for awakened beings.
"Fang Xian, how about we go to the back garden instead?"
Zhu Debiao hurriedly went up to dissuade them, after all, the place was small, and if the soldiers could easily get close, the contract master would surely be defeated.
"No need, this is fine."
Fang Xian looked at Lin Mengqian provocatively and raised his index finger.
"After all, it only took a minute, and she had no chance to fight back."
Lin Mengqian could no longer tolerate Fang Xian's arrogance. She took a step forward and threw a punch at Fang Xian.
Fang Xian simply raised his hand and caught Lin Mengqian's powerful punch.
"What!"
Lin Mengqian stared in disbelief at the scene before her, then felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
"Bang!"
Fang Xian threw a punch, and Lin Mengqian was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall.
"Cough cough!"
Lin Mengqian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her anger rising.
"You bastard!"
She glared at Fang Xian, only to find him already standing beside her.
Fang Xian's lips curled up, showing no pity whatsoever, and he kicked down.
"Bang!"
"ah--"
Lin Mengqian felt an immense force strike her back, causing her excruciating pain.
As a warrior, she possesses the strongest defense, health, and resilience among all professions.
But now she has suffered a crushing defeat in physical confrontation, which is an immense humiliation for her.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"Bang!"
Fang Xian didn't waste any words with Lin Mengqian. He swung his iron fist, and the world fell completely silent.
Zhu Debiao and Lu Chengming stared at Fang Xian in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Is there some mistake somewhere?
Is this guy a contract master?
Is this really necessary?
