Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 40

Ch 40: Skill Awakening

“Chu Qiu, Li Chuan is a member of the Li family, a Heaven’s Chosen, currently in Kan City preparing for the National Exam. Try to avoid conflict. After all, the National Exam is important and must not be lost.”

After thinking for a moment, Mentor Xiao Ya decided to send Chu Qiu a message. Her fingertips danced across the screen, editing words of reminder, hoping he would act cautiously.

After sending it, Mentor Xiao Ya still felt uneasy. After thinking about it, she felt that the matter was of great importance.

So, she told these two old men about Li Chuan going to Kan City to participate in the National Exam and the possibility of a conflict between Chu Qiu and Li Chuan.

However, although City Lord Fang and Principal Fan were willing to help, they were unable to do so. After all, with their strength, facing the Li family was like an ant trying to shake an elephant.

As for the old man, it’s best not to disturb him if possible. Otherwise, what do they do? All they can do now is wait and see what happens.

The two silently prayed that Chu Qiu could awaken a new powerful skill and defeat Li Chuan in the National Exam.

Time passed by, but Mentor Xiao Ya never received a reply from Chu Qiu. She shook her head helplessly, with a wry smile on her lips: “This kid, I guess he’s been invited by the Duke of Zhou to have tea again.”

After speaking, she threw her phone aside, picked up her wine glass, drank the red wine in the glass, and then stood up, walking towards the bedroom like a butterfly.

At this time, Chu Qiu’s consciousness had transcended the constraints of reality and came to the vast sea of consciousness that belonged only to him.

In this mysterious spiritual realm, the “Book of Life and Death” regained its ancient and solemn posture, emitting a soft but unignorable faint light.

Chu Qiu stared at the “Book of Life and Death,” his eyes filled with both anticipation and anxiety, and slowly opened his mouth: “I’m at tenth level now, if I don’t awaken a new skill, I’m afraid we’ll both die.”

Before he finished speaking, the “Book of Life and Death” seemed to understand Chu Qiu’s words, and the light flickered slightly, and then slowly turned a page.

Golden words floated out like flowing water: “Want to awaken a skill? Simple, everything is negotiable.”

Chu Qiu was shocked and blurted out: “You’re not the ‘Book of Life and Death’?”

His words carried a hint of disbelief. When did his sea of consciousness become a hospital? First a lunatic, and now another mute.

“Yes!”

A golden “Yes” appeared again on the page, short and powerful, declaring its identity.

“Why don’t you talk?”

Chu Qiu asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

“Don’t like! He likes!”

Concise and clear, revealing an unquestionable willfulness, as if the “Book of Life and Death” also had its own temper and preferences.

Chu Qiu couldn’t restrain his gossipy heart and muttered in a low voice: “Damn, could it be that I’m too powerful and caused it to have a split personality…”

“Scram!”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an icy word, with an unquestionable majesty in its tone, and Chu Qiu instantly fell silent.

“Alright! Let’s talk about what’s needed?”

Chu Qiu finally understood that the chuuni went to write code, and the mute is a miser.

“Soul Shards, one hundred thousand!”

The page turned again, and a line of numbers was clearly visible.

“One hundred thousand? Why don’t you just rob me?”

Chu Qiu saw this astronomical figure and almost couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of old blood, his face full of speechlessness.

“What do you think I’m doing?”

The light flickered again, and the page slowly turned, revealing a line of golden words.

“Considering that I didn’t ask you to pay any settlement fees, how about a discount?”

He took a deep breath, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, using his persona to brush up his presence.

“Dream on!”

The page slowly closed, and a line of small characters could be vaguely seen, flashing past.

“One hundred thousand it is, but I don’t have that much now.”

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, but routines always win people’s hearts. Chu Qiu had no choice but to compromise helplessly.

“Sign a contract, write an IOU, pay interest!”

The “Book of Life and Death” seemed to have expected this, and the page turned again, with a line of words jumping onto the paper, as if telling Chu Qiu: this was his only way out.

The person who owes money is the boss, do whatever you want. Although Chu Qiu was unwilling, he finally “reluctantly” signed this unequal contract.

After the contract was signed, the “Book of Life and Death” suddenly shone brightly, and a Taiji Bagua symbol flew out of the book and instantly entered Chu Qiu’s body.

Chu Qiu only felt a warm current gushing out from the depths of his soul, as if his soul had been washed by a mysterious force, becoming more pure and powerful.

At the same time, a brand new skill appeared in his mind ━ 【Soul Fusion】!

【Soul Fusion】: Consume Soul Shards to fuse your soul with a Contract Beast with full Loyalty, gaining all the power and skills of the Contract Beast for a short time!

The skill description made his eyes light up, and an uncontrollable surprise surged in his heart.

As long as the Loyalty of the Contract Beast is full, he can possess all the power and skills of the Contract Beast in a short time!

This means that he can switch to the combat power mode of the Contract Beast at any time, and there is no cooldown time!

Thinking of this, Chu Qiu looked at the huge deficit of Soul Shards -9670 and no longer felt it was dazzling. Sure enough, there is a harvest for every payment.

At this moment, Chu Qiu’s body seemed to be swept by an invisible storm, and earth-shaking changes began to occur.

A power hidden deep in his bloodline, like a awakened behemoth, surged wildly. Each impact was as violent as a tide, constantly challenging the limits of his body.

Chu Qiu gritted his teeth, his face as pale as paper, and couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream, his body trembling violently like a leaf in the wind.

Every inch of his skin and every bone was enduring unspeakable pain and suffering.

Fortunately, this unbearable pain did not last too long. As the force continued to impact and gradually merge, Chu Qiu’s body also began to undergo a transformation.

An unprecedented powerful force fluctuation suddenly erupted from his body, like a volcanic eruption, shaking the entire room.

Chu Qiu seemed to hear the sound of shackles breaking in his body, instantly breaking through the shackles of the Bronze Tier, and successfully stepped into the Silver Tier gate like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

What followed was an unprecedented comfort, and he felt that his entire soul had been sublimated.

The “Book of Life and Death” slowly turned open, revealing a line of dazzling words.

“100 Rare Soul Shards can unlock the 【Taiji Step: Thousand Mile Teleport】 special skill.”

Fleas don’t bite when there are too many, and debts don’t worry when there are too many. The new generation of Yang Bailao tried to calm the waves in his heart and went through the established process again meticulously.

The “Book of Life and Death” suddenly shone brightly, and a Bagua talisman containing the principles of Taiji Yin and Yang turned into a stream of light, and with a “swoosh” sound, it flew into his body with endless mystery.

Chu Qiu only felt an unprecedented mysterious force coming from all directions, tightly wrapping him.

At this moment, his body seemed to break free from the shackles of the flesh, becoming unprecedentedly light and free, as if breathing and sharing the fate of the world.

At the same time, a shining skill was added to the page of the “Book of Life and Death” ━ 【Taiji Step: Thousand Mile Teleport】.

The annotation below was short but shocking: “A step away, a thousand miles in an instant.”
