"Students, today is the day you Awaken your Spiritual Affinity, and it is also a turning point that can change your lives."
"As the principal, I repeat: no matter what Rank of Spiritual Affinity you Awaken, try your best to choose to Contract a Saintess!"
"A Demoness is not something an ordinary person can control!"
"Once, a Genius who Awakened Advanced Spiritual Affinity, instead of Contracting a perfectly good S-Rank Profound Sound Saintess, insisted on Contracting a Demoness. As a result, he was later backlashed and became a murderous demon!"
"What a pity! This is not something we should learn from!"
Dragon Country.
Cangnan City, Cangnan No. 1 High School.
In the spacious Awakening Square, Principal was giving a pre-Awakening speech.
His voice was loud and clear, reaching the ears of every student present.
"Spiritual Affinity?"
"Contract?"
"What is this? Wasn't I on an assassination mission?"
"Where's the dagger in my hand? How did it turn into a fruit knife!"
"Damn it! Where did this apple come from!"
Ye Ming threw away the apple in his hand.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes were serious, and his brows were filled with vigilance.
Suddenly, a feeling like an electric shock appeared.
"Hiss... my head hurts so much!"
The next moment.
A vast amount of information surged into his mind.
Coupled with the information from the surrounding students' conversations.
Ye Ming realized.
As a Top Assassin, he had Transmigrated.
Transmigrated to a high-martial Blue Star.
The technology and civilization of this world were roughly the same as his previous life.
But hundreds of years ago, cruel and powerful Vicious Beasts descended upon Blue Star.
They were bloodthirsty and violent, massacring humans and occupying one civilization after another established by humans.
Fortunately.
On high-martial Blue Star, humans were by no means weak.
Everyone could Awaken their Spiritual Affinity when they came of age.
And in the Divine Space, they could Contract with a powerful Saintess or Demoness, thereby gaining powerful strength.
Based on hundreds of years of accumulated experience.
Humans discovered.
Contracting a Saintess leads to rapid early-stage improvement, easy Cultivation, and even very stable Late Stage development.
However, Contracting a Demoness... leads to slow early-stage improvement, difficult Cultivation. Although a Witch Contract Master possesses stronger combat power at the same Realm, it is very difficult to grow, and they are prone to being backlashed by slaughter, becoming a completely inhumane demon.
Because of this.
Now, almost no one on the entire Blue Star chooses a Demoness.
If someone does choose a Demoness, they will be met with doubt and misunderstanding.
Even a Demoness wearing black stockings is not an exception.
"Contracting a Demoness leads to slow improvement, weak early-stage strength, and is prone to being backlashed by slaughter, but it can grant stronger combat power at the same Realm."
Ye Ming frowned, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.
How did it feel?
These disadvantages of Contracting a Demoness, for him, were not disadvantages at all?
In his previous life, he was the most Top Assassin.
He was skilled in combat and possessed the most Top assassination techniques.
Facing hundreds of lions and tigers, he could easily kill them, surpassing the limits of the human body.
Therefore, he possessed sufficient strength in the early stage.
Besides that, being backlashed by slaughter?
Ye Ming was adopted by an assassin organization since childhood and was accustomed to bloodshed and slaughter.
The number of people who died by his hand was at least ninety thousand, if not a hundred thousand, and all of them were thugs who had dozens or even hundreds of lives on their hands.
His heart was already filled with slaughter; there was no way he could be backlashed even a little.
"I feel like I'm very suitable for Contracting a Demoness." Ye Ming vaguely had a plan in mind.
"Now, the Awakening ceremony officially begins!"
"First up, Han Xiaoyue!"
Principal's voice fell.
A girl with a sweet and lovely appearance walked out of the crowd.
The moment she placed her hand on the Awakening platform, a green beam of light shot into the sky.
"It's Intermediate Spiritual Affinity, capable of Contracting an A-Rank Saintess at most." Principal nodded with some satisfaction.
At the same time.
In front of Han Xiaoyue, two more beams of light descended.
One of them was dazzling golden, like a divine light leading to the Immortal Realm.
The other was shrouded in darkness, filled with the aura of blood and slaughter.
"Both the Saintess and Demoness have simultaneously descended with their recognition."
"I hope she listened to what I just said." The Principal couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The next moment!
The golden beam of light diffused with ripples of power.
Behind Han Xiaoyue, an orange-haired Saintess in silver battle armor was raising her long sword high, shouting loudly, full of heroic spirit.
[Han Xiaoyue Awakened Intermediate Spiritual Affinity, successfully Contracted an A-Rank Armored Saintess, and gained the Spirit Skill: Song of Sword and Shield]
"An A-Rank Armored Saintess, very good, very good. If she Cultivates well in the future, her achievements will certainly be extraordinary."
Principal patted Han Xiaoyue's shoulder, a gentle smile appearing on his kind face.
Han Xiaoyue nodded and left the Awakening platform with a smile.
"Next, Zhang Hu!"
Another student stepped onto the stage.
However, this time, he was not so lucky and Awakened a Low-Rank Spiritual Affinity.
When choosing between a Demoness and a Saintess, he still chose a Saintess; a B-Rank Earth Saintess.
"Next, Zhou San!"
"Next, Gu Mingfan!"
"Next, Chen Daming!"
Students came up one after another, and the Rank of Spiritual Affinity they Awakened varied, but the highest was only Intermediate Spiritual Affinity; no Advanced Spiritual Affinity appeared.
This was normal; not many Advanced Spiritual Affinities appeared in the entire Cangnan City each year.
As for a Super Spiritual Affinity that could Contract an SS-Rank, it hadn't appeared in ten years.
But what was worth noting was.
No matter what Spiritual Affinity they Awakened, the students all uniformly chose to Contract a Saintess.
The Demoness's beam of recognition would descend every time.
But each time, it could only leave alone.
They were as if abandoned by the world; everyone disdained to even look at them.
"The treatment of Demonesses is quite similar to mine as an assassin."
"Even though I only kill thugs, when people hear my title as an assassin, they subconsciously keep their distance from me."
Ye Ming clenched the fruit knife in his hand, a hint of loneliness rising in his heart.
"Next, Wang Haoyang!"
A confident young man with his nose in the air walked onto the Awakening platform.
When he heard this name, Ye Ming was also stunned for a moment.
"If my memory serves me right."
"The original owner and this guy seemed to have some bad blood."
"Never mind, now that I'm here, such unnecessary bad blood should end."
Not long after.
Wang Haoyang finished his Contract, and this kid's luck was quite good.
Advanced Spiritual Affinity, he Contracted an S-Rank Lightning Saintess.
Generally, those named after lightning possessed decent attack power.
When Wang Haoyang walked off the Awakening platform, he glanced at Ye Ming with a proud look.
Blatant showing off.
"Boring." Ye Ming shook his head.
Boom!
Just then!
On the Awakening platform, a purple beam of light shot into the sky.
Ye Ming turned to look.
He saw a beautiful, graceful young girl actually Awaken a Super Spiritual Affinity!
"Holy crap, Liu Yuxuan, the school beauty of Cangnan No. 1 High School, she actually Awakened a Super Spiritual Affinity!"
[Spiritual Affinity: Low (B), Intermediate (A), Advanced (S), Super (SS), Top (SSS), Max Rank]
"Not only is she beautiful, but her Spiritual Affinity is also so high?"
"Super Spiritual Affinity, does this also mean she can Contract an SS-rank Saintess?"
Principal quickly reminded her from the side:
"Yuxuan, remember to Contract a Saintess, definitely don't choose a Demoness!"
"Mhm!"
Liu Yuxuan's consciousness entered the Divine Space.
The next moment.
The golden beam of light rippled and spread.
A sacred phantom enveloped Liu Yuxuan.
She had four pure white wings, wore a luxurious robe, and held a scepter, like a high and mighty angel, untainted by the mortal world.
[Liu Yuxuan Awakened Super Spiritual Affinity, Contracted an SS-Rank Luminous Saintess, and gained the Spirit Skill: Luminous Descent!]
"SS-Rank, it's SS-Rank!"
"My Cangnan No. 1 High School can finally stand tall this year!"
Seeing Liu Yuxuan successfully Contract an SS-rank Saintess, Principal's body trembled with excitement.
The students below also cast envious glances.
"Contracting an SS-rank Saintess, and she's the school beauty, her future achievements are immeasurable!"
"If I could marry such a woman, I'd be willing even if it meant living in a mansion and driving a sports car."
"Hey, what are you thinking? She has a boyfriend, from the Ye Family!"
"The Ye Family? Not bad, a famous Family in Cangnan City."
"What's so great about a famous Family? Her boyfriend is a timid and weak guy."
"If I had Contracted an SS-rank Saintess, I wouldn't even look at him!"
From the Ye Family?
Listening to the people around him, Ye Ming frowned slightly.
He clenched the fruit knife in his hand, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough!
The next moment!
Liu Yuxuan stepped off the Awakening platform and walked directly in front of Ye Ming.
Her face was cold, and she clenched her fists, as if she had made some huge decision, saying:
"Ye Ming, I've Awakened Super Spiritual Affinity. From now on, we are no longer on the same path."
"Thank you for taking care of me for three years, we're breaking up..."
"Shut up!!!"
Before Liu Yuxuan could finish her sentence.
Ye Ming directly interrupted her, his tone extremely cold,
"Breaking up, right? I agree."
"But remember, I'm the one who dumped you."
"Now please stay away from me, I'm afraid of being misunderstood."
Just now.
Ye Ming remembered everything.
Liu Yuxuan, the original owner's girlfriend in name.
They had never held hands, never kissed, and even saying a little sweet talk would be met with disgust.
She purely treated the original owner as a sucker, beckoning him when needed, giving him some benefits, and kicking him aside when not, even finding his breathing too loud and annoying.
Now that she had Contracted an SS-rank Saintess, she couldn't wait to cut ties and maintain her pure image.
Such a person was not only a green tea bitch, but also stupid!
She hadn't even Awakened yet, and she rushed to break up.
What else could such a person be but stupid?
"Ye Ming, what did you just say?"
"You dumped me?"
Liu Yuxuan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
I'm the school beauty who Contracted an SS-Rank, an existence admired by all.
What right do you, Ye Ming, have to dump me!
"Only I can dump you, you have no right to dump me, Ye Ming, I hope you understand your place!"
"Now, apologize to me, and I might still reluctantly be friends with you!"
Liu Yuxuan still maintained a haughty demeanor.
Ye Ming frowned, "Damn idiot."
He turned and left directly.
He didn't want to bother with Liu Yuxuan at all.
