Chapter 803: The Activation of Word Spirit
Summoning contract spirits before the countdown starts does not count as a false start.
It is the same logic as Beast Tamers summoning their beast companions in advance.
At this moment.
The countdown had already reached three seconds.
Although Misha outwardly showed disdain for Ling Zhan, she was extremely cautious in battle.
In just two seconds, more than twenty SS-rank contract spirits had already been summoned by her.
Along with them, nearly a hundred S-rank or higher contract spirits appeared.
She no longer had any contract spirits below S-rank.
It had been mentioned before that F-rank skills could not be upgraded using skill points.
But skills of E-rank and above from various classes could be upgraded using skill points.
Therefore, at this level of strength, experts had long since used skill points to elevate their abilities to S-rank or higher.
Many readers had wondered more than once why Ling Zhan never seemed to use his skill points…
Hmm…
Let's clarify, skill points only have two purposes.
First, to upgrade skill levels, enhancing their effects and power.
Second, to learn certain new skills. Some skill books could be learned without skill points, but others required skill points to unlock prerequisite minor skills before they could be comprehended.
But look at Ling Zhan.
Does he need to upgrade skill levels?
Does he need to learn new special skills?
No!!
With the 'Almighty' talent, why would he need to upgrade skills?
As his talent improves, his skill levels naturally increase!
Additionally, general skill books could be learned directly without using skill points.
F-rank minor skills… Ling Zhan had already learned them all from the system's daily quests.
No matter what class they belonged to, he had learned all F-rank skills.
Including the top-tier class mentioned earlier, the Confucian Scholar.
He had also mastered the basic skills of this class.
This class had many skill branches.
But generally, it specialized in the 'Word Spirit' style.
Which was what we call 'Words Become Reality.'
'Words Become Reality' was a passive ability gained only after the Confucian Scholar reached the third tier.
Normally, this class's skills were: Beginner Word Spirit (Healing), Beginner Word Spirit (Flame), Beginner Word Spirit (Flying Sword), Beginner Word Spirit (Custom)… and so on.
Additionally,
Some classes that relied on 'language' for combat, such as Disciplinarians and Adjudicators, shared the same beginner skills.
You could understand it as…
In this game world, Confucian Scholars, Disciplinarians, and Adjudicators all originated from the same root class.
Their beginner skills had the same names.
But now, under Ling Zhan's Almighty talent…
These Word Spirit skills had undergone a tremendous transformation!
The skill names still retained the 'Beginner Word Spirit' prefix.
But their levels had already reached SS-rank! Moreover, they possessed the 'Words Become Reality' effect!
At this moment.
Ling Zhan was using Word Spirit to face off against Contract Spirits!
Three!
Two!
One!
Ding ding!!
"The duel begins!"
The referee from afar had already raised his arm, officially announcing the start of the duel!
Meanwhile, Misha had already summoned all her SS-rank contract spirits!
Each one emitted an overwhelmingly fierce aura, even exuding a primal, ancient savagery. Just looking at them could make one despair!
Even someone like Qu Changfeng would have to give their all against these ancient contract spirits!
This was the nature of the Summoner class.
It didn't matter how strong the Summoner was.
As long as their contract spirits were strong, that was enough.
Just like Beast Tamers.
"Ling Zhan! If you surrender now, it's not too late!"
Misha sneered, "Otherwise, if I accidentally kill you and make you lose a level, I'd feel really bad!"
Ling Zhan's expression remained calm. He raised his hand and said, "No worries. If you can kill me, feel free to do so. But the same goes for you."
"Hmph! Still so stubborn! All contract spirits, obey my command!"
As soon as Misha spoke…
Buzz!!
All contract spirits erupted with a terrifyingly powerful aura!
Their oppressive force swept through the area like a storm, causing all the spectators' faces to change drastically!
Anyone who could be considered a Gold-tier student naturally had impressive strength!
"Go! Crush that human completely!"
Misha commanded!
At that moment…
Boom!!
Fifty SS-rank contract spirits, along with nearly a hundred S-rank contract spirits, launched a terrifying charge toward Ling Zhan!!
There were only about a hundred contract spirits.
And they hadn't even grown in size.
Yet their charge carried the momentum of a thousand cavalrymen!
"They're going to crush this non-specialist!"
Before everyone's eyes, these hundred-plus powerful contract spirits reached Ling Zhan in an instant!
All the spectators gasped in nervous anticipation.
Only Yun Man, Meng Shuang, Chang Yue, Avril, Ansely, and Lucia remained calm!
Because they knew Ling Zhan could not possibly lose!
Absolutely impossible!
At this critical moment…
Ling Zhan finally moved.
But he didn't use his hands, nor did he move his body.
He used his mouth.
His lips parted slightly as he uttered a few barely audible words: "No contract spirits shall exist here."
As soon as the words fell…
Whoosh!!
The entire arena seemed to be wiped clean by an invisible brush.
The contract spirits that were about to tear Ling Zhan apart vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes.
How abrupt!
So much so that Misha and the entire audience were left utterly stunned!
"This…"
Even the powerful referee standing nearby was left speechless!
Silence.
A deathly silence.
But that silence only lasted three seconds.
In the next moment…
Whoa!!
A tidal wave of uproar exploded across the entire venue!
"Holy shit! Holy shit! What just happened?"
"No way… Where did the contract spirits go? Why did they just disappear?"
"What did that non-specialist just do? I think I saw him say something, and then all the contract spirits vanished!"
"Same here! He just moved his lips, and the contract spirits were wiped out!"
"Could it be a Word Spirit skill?"
"Damn! If that's really a Word Spirit skill, its priority is way too high! Are you sure a non-specialist can master such an advanced Word Spirit skill? High-tier Word Spirit skills can only be used after the third tier!"
"Yeah, then what the hell happened?"
Shock, horror, disbelief, confusion, curiosity…
A mix of emotions surged through the crowd.
Shan Xiafeng and Qu Changfeng exchanged looks, their expressions becoming even graver!
"No… Where are my contract spirits? Where did you take them?"
Misha looked at Ling Zhan in disbelief.
Of course…
Her eyes were now filled with terror and despair!
A Summoner without contract spirits… could only await death!
