After roaming a circle, there were no more eye-catching Fond Spirits on the fourth floor that could attract Ye Hanjun’s attention.
Naturally, he chose to continue up the stairs.
There were only three floors left. If he still could not find a suitable Fond Spirit, he would have to go to Blind-Box Comrce or Cross Old Street.
How to obtain enough Spirit Stones then, seed to beco a new problem...
In the slow operation of the elevator, Ye Hanjun was lost in thought.
A sudden breeze carrying the scent of cherry blossoms swept past his nose, and a touch of pink caught his eye:
"Classmate, are you also a newbie? Co to the Assistance Centre to try your luck?"
The pink-attired girl kept her hands behind her back. When she t Ye Hanjun’s gaze, her sparkling eyes blinked inquisitively as she asked.
"More or less."
Ye Hanjun put his hands in his pockets, indifferent to the girl’s addressing, and nonchalantly replied.
If he had to prove that he was not a student to every passer-by he encountered, how tiring that would be.
"What a coincidence, I just joined the school today."
The pink-attired girl did not give up on the conversation, she smilingly said:
"Let introduce myself, my na is Jiang ng."
"This is my cousin, Jiang Haowen."
"Uh, nice to et you."
Ye Hanjun just symbolically nodded his head.
"That poor Mud-fet Penguin just now looked so hopeless, it seed like there was not a hint of light in its eyes."
Jiang ng sighed, "It’s unfortunate that I don’t have the ability to help it. After struggling for a while, I didn’t even have the courage to try to sign a contract with it."
"ng, don’t take it to heart."
Jiang Haowen glanced at Ye Hanjun, turned his head and educated Jiang ng with a comforting tone:
"Do as much as you can, overthinking will only consu you and bring about disadvantages rather than benefits."
"And as a manicurist, even if you contracted the Mud-fet Penguin, it wouldn’t fit, would it?"
"The Mud-fet Penguin does have claws, but all of its skills are biased towards magic."
"Your ability cannot match, and you both would still be two independent individuals that are incompatible in any sense."
"I know..."
Jiang ng sneakily glanced at Jiang Haowen’s solemn expression, first asked for rcy and then changed the topic:
"Fine, I won’t think about it anymore."
"The Solitary Shadow Wolf that you ntioned, it’s on the fifth floor, isn’t it?"
"I’m afraid with my abilities, I can’t ta it...I don’t have any confidence at all..."
"Don’t worry, with this many staff mbers around, nothing can go wrong."
Jiang Haowen harrumphed, took another glance at Ye Hanjun, then while oozing self-confidence, hinted:
"Moreover, in this academy, I’ve already been here for a whole year."
"If plan A doesn’t work, we still have plan B, plan C..."
"Anyway! With nearby and accompanying you, I promise to help you find a suitable Fond Spirit, just relax!"
"Click——"
The slowly ascending elevator finally reached the fifth floor.
Ye Hanjun paid no attention to the two in conversation, his focus completely on the world outside the door and took the lead to step out.
"Goo——goo goo——"
The mont he stepped out, the lights suddenly dimd, and a frosty white moonlight lightly cascaded down.
Before, it was dayti, with lawns and rivers.
But once he stepped out, he arrived in the midst of the night, with rustling leaves, whistling winds, occasional bird calls and insect noises. However, they were unable to dispel the silence that was akin to death.
"Don’t be scared, this place is just like this."
Jiang Haowen stepped out second, placing half of his body in front of Jiang ng, appearing calm and composed.
The owl that had been staying on his shoulder the entire ti suddenly stretched lazily, awakening from its slumber.
"Darkness, this is my ho turf."
"With my Green-Eyed Owl here, coupled with my ability, everything around is as clear as watching a fire. Whether it’s ghost-type Fond Spirits or inconspicuous insects, wishing to scare our little ng...keep dreaming!"
Jiang Haowen’s mouth curled up, revealing strong confidence in his words.
However, when his gaze fell upon the stranger who was unwilling to even introduce himself,
In an instant, he seed to blend into the darkness, becoming a part of the darkness; such a creepy scene made his pupils suddenly contract into pinpoints.
"What the hell, am I hallucinating?"
He shook his head forcefully and gave a fixed stare, finding everything normal.
The scene he saw just now seed to be an illusion.
The highest probability was that the shadow of the swaying branches caused by the wind gave a weird light and shadow effect to the strange man, making his silhouette appear deep and mysterious.
Once his thoughts cleared up, Jiang Haowen let out a sigh of relief.
He then felt a little embarrassed. What was he doing? Just a newcor, who didn’t even have a Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit, what was there to speculate?
"Hey, the path here isn’t exactly a cakewalk, you want to join us?’
"We’re all newbies, it would be good to have others for company."
Seeing that Ye Hanjun seed to want to go ahead alone, Jiang ng couldn’t help but call out and ask.
Her voice was clear like a sunbird, very pleasant to listen to.
The subtle sign of concern sounded genuine, and upon first listen, there was no obvious malice lurking in the shadows.
"Alright."
After pondering for two seconds, Ye Hanjun responded.
Even though it was the return to the darkness and an artificially arranged environnt that differed greatly from reality, and even more from the Abyss where demon creatures ran rampant
But this relief, was like water to fish or wings to a tiger, every cell in his body was cheering and jumping.
Of course, the reason Ye Hanjun agreed to proceed together was not because of Jiang ng’s curious gaze, nor the fear of the unknown environnt. It was simply because of the ntion of the "Solitary Shadow Wolf", which he was quite interested in.
"Little ng..." Jiang Haowen didn’t really want to be with outsiders.
Especially this frail yet cold as ice man, he always seems to be trouble.
With no other choice, Jiang ng swings his arm, resorting to her secret weapon of acting cute in a sneak attack.
Jiang Haowen is unimpressed by this tactic, he stops her hand and sighs deeply, saying:
"All right, all right, we’ll do it your way."
"As a new arrival here, I am slightly familiar with the place, so if you see any Fond Spirits you don’t recognize, feel free to ask . I’ll share all I know."
"Thank you."
Ye Hanjun nodded, and his gaze landed on the Green-Eyed Owl on his shoulder.
The owl seems to catch his gaze, its eyes darting around, filled with wariness, staring back at him.
"Talent identification."

"The Fond Spirit seems pretty ordinary, but this guy must be a ’Scout’, right? They make a fine pair."
Ye Hanjun withdrew his gaze, lagging a little step behind, walking behind Jiang Haowen.
"What’s your na? You seem like you have been injured."
Jiang ng’s skirt fluttered in the wind, sotis she even jumped around, and when she laughed, she radiated youthful energy.
"Just call Hanjun."
Ye Hanjun said in a tone as calm as water:
"I had a bit of an accident. I am not quite myself, but rest for a while will sort it out. There is no need to worry."
Jiang ng blinked, her shining eyes looking at Ye Hanjun’s face, utterly curious:
"Have you been to the Chick House? I haven’t yet."
"My cousin said to check this place out first, apparently there is a Fond Spirit that would be suitable for ..."
"I have. It wasn’t suitable."
Ye Hanjun shook his head and asked directly:
" Just now, I overheard. Were you talking about the Solitary Shadow Wolf?"
"Hey, so you have heard of the Solitary Shadow Wolf?"
Jiang Haowen grinned, revealing a "testing you out" expression:
"Good, how much do you know this specific type of Fond Spirit?"
"Without so basic theoretical knowledge, you are going to find the going hard at this academy. Studying and communicating more never hurt."
"Dark Attribute, Agile Attack, Savage Beasts, That’s the general idea," Ye Hanjun smiled mysteriously.
Being questioned by a Patron who has just removed his newbie tag, well, this is a new feeling. Quite interesting.
"That’s a narrow view."
Jiang Haowen was dissatisfied with his answer and warned him with a tone of "been there, done that":
"The Solitary Shadow Wolf is a formidable Fond Spirit and its rare. It’s not easy to spot in the wild."
"It hides during the day, and cos out at night. It’s most prominent ability is its speed. As long as it is in the dark, it can transform into a top assassin, patiently hunting its prey."
"Furthermore, the claws are the wolf’s most powerful weapons, incredibly sharp."
Jiang Haowen glanced at Jiang ng, "If you, ng, could make a contract with it, and groom it, this strength could be magnified."
"In that case, whether it’s now or in the future, among your peers, you can always stand in the forefront. There’s no need to worry about being looked down upon."
"I’ll try my best!"
Jiang ng clenched her delicate fist, bobbing her head enthusiastically.
"This is the Disabled Fond Spirits Assistance Centre, right? What is the defect of the Solitary Shadow Wolf?" Ye Hanjun posed the key question.
Jiang Haowen pursed his thick lips, smiling confidently:
"It’s blind in one eye."
"Undoubtedly, this will affect its sensory judgnt and its combat power decreases."
"But it’s not a fatal defect. If a high-quality spiritual dicine can be found, there’s a complete chance of healing."
Jiang Haowen paused for a mont and emphasized again:
"ng, this is a chance for you. You must grasp it well."
"The Solitary Shadow Wolf was brought to the assistance center only half a month ago. Not many know about it."
"Once the news spreads a bit more, so senior students will definitely be interested."
"They might not have a Pact slot now, so they can’t pact, but nowadays everyone has friends and relatives."
"When they reach the appropriate age, awaken their Ability, and then beco a mber of the Canghai Pavilion, the Solitary Shadow Wolf is bound to be taken away by soone."
"Understood!"
Jiang ng nodded her head vigorously. The look in her eyes was full of ambition, which lasted for a few seconds, then leaked a bit of deflate:
"But, still, I am not confident. It’s a Mud-cast fetus with Great Completion condition. With my Ability, my current rank, my Innate Soul Strength... the probability of signing a successful pact is very low."
"No rush, try it first."
Jiang Haowen soothes her and reminds Ye Hanjun at the sa ti:
"When we get there, you just observe and learn."
"The more practical experience you accumulate, the better for you. This is also your chance to grow."
"Oh, okay."
Ye Hanjun spread his hands.
"So...about how much further?"
