After the contract was successful.
Xiao Zhan couldn't sort through the influx of information in his mind, and the first thing he did was check his body.
This check brought him ecstatic joy!
He felt the painful, cold sensation at his wounds disappear, replaced by a feeling of incredible lightness, as if a mountain that had weighed him down for centuries had finally been lifted.
At the same time, the foggy sensation in his head vanished, and his previous clear-mindedness returned, his thoughts reaching clarity and his perception sharpening!
Even stronger than his peak condition!
Moreover, the life force within his Artifact Spirit Space, which had been dim and weak, now turned vibrant and bursting with vitality!
This was indeed the manifestation of a Talent Level SSS!
These perceptible changes made his blood surge and his breathing quicken!
He had really regained his talent!
Fantastic!
He, Xiao Zhan, was not a failure!!!
At this moment, he wanted to shout out loud!
But having experienced the cold reality of the world once, he still forcefully suppressed this impulse!
Then, he began to feel the awakening of his Bloodline Talent Skills!
Every Spirit Master and Artifact Spirit has their own Bloodline Talent Skills.
These Bloodline Talent Skills are numerous; there are tens of thousands recorded, and countless others unrecorded due to various reasons.
Bloodline Talent Skills have no inherent strength or weakness; it all depends on the compatibility between the Spirit Master and Artifact Spirit.
If a Spirit Master's Artifact Spirit is a sword, but the Bloodline Talent is softening, what use is it in battle?
Turning the sword into a soft sword?
Such Spirit Masters are the most miserable; it's better not to awaken their Bloodline Talent.
While others might add icing to the cake, like an Artifact Spirit Great Saber with the Bloodline Talent Skill 'Break Blade', which significantly enhances their strength.
Therefore, there is no clear distinction in the strength of Bloodline Talent Skills.
Ye Youlong's Talent Bloodline Skill is Perception, allowing her to perceive things that eyes, ears, and skin cannot, which is considered a top-tier Bloodline Talent Skill.
In battle, it plays a powerful role in both offense and defense.
Now, Xiao Zhan just hopes to not awaken a useless talent, as that would be truly embarrassing.
Soon, Xiao Zhan found out what his Bloodline Talent was.
Upon learning it, he was stupefied.
At the same time, a cold glint of light suddenly shot towards him, piercing his eyes like a sharp sword.
It was Ye Youlong!
Clearly, she had also learned about her Bloodline Talent Skill.
After the contract, the two exchanged information and could share some abilities!
Xiao Zhan was feeling awkward.
Suddenly, Ye Youlong charged at him, grabbed his neck, and pinned him against the wall, threatening fiercely, "If you dare to use your Bloodline Talent Skill, I'll be the first to kill you!"
Killing Xiao Zhan would mean her own death too.
But she did it without hesitation, reflecting how much she detested Xiao Zhan's Bloodline Talent Skill!
Pinned tightly by Ye Youlong, Xiao Zhan could only feel his breathing halt and his neck nearly breaking, the discomfort unbearable.
This woman, she really goes for the kill!
Especially since he completely couldn't resist with his current strength.
Ye Youlong, being a weapon-class Artifact Spirit of SSS level at the Awakening Early Stage, was absolutely not someone he, as a Spirit Master, could contend with.
He tapped Ye Youlong's arm three times, a gesture of surrender according to the boxing rules from his previous life; he couldn't even speak now.
This woman, just like her Artifact Spirit Form, embodied a strong aura of Death, truly the incarnation of the Grim Reaper!
Ye Youlong slightly loosened her grip.
Xiao Zhan gasped deeply, "Are you trying to murder your own husband? We've just got married, haven't even consummated the marriage yet!"
The way Xiao Zhan said this wasn't lewd or frivolous.
A Life and Death Contract is even more binding than a marriage certificate before the world's anomalies!
Once signed, the man and the woman tied by this contract are, without exception, husband and wife.
Ye Youlong didn't care what he said; she simply released her hand completely and said coldly, "I'll say this only once, if you dare to use your Bloodline Talent Skills behind my back, I swear I'll take you down with me!"
These icy words did not sound like a joke to Xiao Zhan at all.
Ye Youlong's temper was too strange; although the two had signed a contract, it was merely a state of mutual affection.
Their personalities needed further exploration and adjustment.
Sigh.
It was just a pity for his Bloodline Talent Skills.
Why did Ye Youlong have such a strong reaction?
Because Xiao Zhan's Bloodline Talent Skill was Contract Expansion!
What is Contract Expansion?
It means that Xiao Zhan, initially only able to form a contract with one Artifact Spirit, suddenly becomes able to contract multiple Artifact Spirits!
What does this imply?
It's absolutely a dimension-reducing strike!
One should know that in this world, due to the laws of contracts, every Spirit Master can only contract with one Artifact Spirit.
They grow together, face difficulties, solve them, and then step by step, become stronger!
Every Artifact Spirit is the most loyal partner of a Spirit Master!
No, it should be said they are the most loyal lover!
But now, Xiao Zhan could contract with several Artifact Spirits; in other words, he now has several wives!
How could this not send Ye Youlong into a rage?
The main reason she chose to sign a Life and Death Contract with Xiao Zhan was her obsession with spiritual purity!
She was unwilling to contract someone who had been contracted by others, nor did she want to contract with a second person later!
Hence, she disallowed her contract partner from contracting with several others!
The Bloodline Talent Skill that Xiao Zhan had awakened completely betrayed Ye Youlong's will!
Therefore, she was so sharp in her words, warning Xiao Zhan not to use this Bloodline Talent Skill.
Otherwise, they would die together!
This uncompromising attitude left Xiao Zhan feeling helpless.
And deeply regretful.
Should be noted that once he contracted multiple Artifact Spirits, his strength would geometrically surge, achieving absolute domination!
This would completely surpass his opponents in future battles!
Unfortunately, now, due to Ye Youlong's presence, he couldn't use this Bloodline Talent Skill.
"Sigh."
Another sigh.
Family, who would understand.
This feeling was like finally marrying the woman one had pursued for years, only to find she forbids any touch!
Isn't that tragic?
But, one can't have the best of both worlds.
Xiao Zhan understood this principle.
Being able to contract with Ye Youlong, an SSS-grade Artifact Spirit, and also having regained his Talent, he was already very satisfied with this outcome.
Although all of this was caused by Ye Youlong, maybe his life would have been easier without her.
However, the initial injury wasn't entirely Ye Youlong's fault; he had chosen to save Jiang Xian'er.
With gains come losses; life is inherently a blend of regrets and completeness.
"At this moment, a middle-aged teacher couldn't help but ask, "Which academy do you belong to, young lady? With such a strong talent, why choose to sign a contract with Xiao Zhan?"
Given the way they both just behaved, it seemed voluntary.
The more voluntary it was, the more curious he became.
The combination of the strongest and the weakest is truly mind-boggling!
