The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 358 - 178: Small faults are punished, Big ones are stewed_2

"Gua!!"

GuaGua is in high spirits.

With so many new faces suddenly appearing, it’s difficult not to attract Gua’s attention.

With a flutter, it morphed into a Ghost-Faced Moth - just a gentle flap of its cicada-like wings, and it was in the air.

"Chirp Chirp!!"

The unfamiliar environment and sudden freedom were too overwhelming to keep calm.

The nearest Fox Bird was ruthless – it came straight for a wing slash.

GuaGua abruptly hovered to dodge with agile movements. After successfully evading several times, it began to play.

"Tweet! Tweet Tweet!!"

"Squeak Squeak! Squeak Squeak!!"

In another part of the sky, a fight broke out between a blue heron and a skylark.

They were both fierce, gripping each other without mercy. After just one encounter, flurry of feathers began to fall.

"Eh? They’re all birds of a feather, why are they fighting each other?"

Goose Immortal was radiant with delight. From the moment he heard the chirping noises within the box, he was a tad excited.

When the box was opened and he confirmed that the captives were alive - the weakest among them being Rainbow Light Virtual Intro birds - he wouldn’t contain his excitement, no matter what.

"Bang! Boom boom boom!"

Goose Immortal soared into the sky, quelling the disorderly flight of the ten birds with absolute strength.

Those who were fighting, he forcibly separated.

Those who were flying blindly, were forced to land.

In no time, the ten disparate avian Fond Spirits - all with drooping wings - were both shocked and scared.

"Excellent! Excellent! Human Master! This time, Immortal has to praise you!"

Goose Immortal’s neck swayed to-and-fro. After spinning 360 degrees a few times, it let out a hearty chuckle:

"I was worried that the ’Bird Squadron’ imprint was too few, too weak. If a fight broke out, it wouldn’t be able to bear the loss."

"Now, with the acquisition of ten new comrades, as long as I use Army Training to drill them, they’ll supply an endless stream of Shadows for enhancing power and expanding the base - can’t ask for more!"

"If you’re satisfied, that’s great."

Ye Hanjun glanced around – Fox Bird, Blue Heron, Skylark, Bald Bird, Giant Sparrow...

Whether beast or demon, some were foolish, while others intelligent.

One common trait was that while a few had volatile temperaments, as long as they acclimated to the environment and let go of their guard a little, managing them wasn’t an issue.

"Hahahah, ’Enjoy life in high spirits, do not waste the moonlight in vain’!"

"From today, you’ll be called Little Red, you’ll be Little Bright, you’ll be Little Bald, you’ll be Little Fat... remember your names well! From now on, follow the Immortal. The Immortal will make you all strong and robust like tigers and wolves!"

A fervent speech - was forcefully given.

Goose Immortal was completely using his Rainbow Light Perfection status to deter the ten birds from misbehaving.

Ye Hanjun didn’t provide any advice, he just wanted to see exactly how capable this goose trained in the ’Leadership Path’ was.

The result didn’t disappoint him. Goose Immortal not only intimidated, but also used a carrot-and-stick approach.

Among the ten birds, the three strongest had reached Great Completion in Rainbow Light.

One of them was a beast, and two were demons.

Beasts were foolish, perfect to be the main soldiers.

But Demon Beasts were different – they were naturally intelligent. If nurtured properly, they could even shoulder management responsibilities.

Goose Immortal first picked out these two Demon Birds – one was a mild variant of a ’Stone-eyed Owl’, its gaze could gradually reduce the speed of the prey it was watching, severely limiting their movement at times.

The other was a ’Red-purple Parrot’. It might not be too impressive in terms of combat strength, but its ability to imitate noises aptly, like the roar of a lion or tiger, the hissing of insects, the reprimands of humans, is a deception skill learned from living in the wild for a long time. Deep exploration of this could bring immeasurable value.

"Rip!"

Goose Immortal activated ’Army Training’, slashing the parrot’s forehead and pouring vitality into it.

A short while later, the Red-purple Parrot woke up, continuously shouting "Wow! Wow!", completely bewildered.

"Hmm... It didn’t acquire a new skill. What a pity, what a pity."

"But it doesn’t matter, as long as Immortal is there to look after you, the future is bright!"

With that, Goose Immortal used ’Army Training’ for the second time.

After returning to Rainbow Light Perfection, it could use this special skill several times consecutively without worrying about health exhaustion.

Very soon, the Stone-eyed Owl experienced a surge in its vitality. It felt warm and couldn’t describe the comfort.

"That’s good! You guys are becoming stronger! Immortal is also becoming stronger!"

Two realistic imprints appeared behind Goose Immortal.

Seeing this, it was very pleased. With its wings spread high and nodding frequently in approval, its demeanor was strikingly similar to that of a human.

"The second batch of birds will arrive in about half a month."

"I will place an additional order for a batch of materials to help these free-range birds build nests. You will carry out the implementation."

"Otherwise, all is well. Just watch out for the Bat Wing Demon and the Eye Demon. They are still very young. If they are bullied, they won’t survive."

"Don’t worry! Sprinkling Water is a small matter!"

Goose Immortal waved its wings and said casually:

"This Immortal is of the original Feather Clan! Managing a gang of little fledglings is a breeze!"

"If anyone causes trouble, we will penalize them lightly and stew them if it’s severe. Simple and crude!"

...

While taking appropriate steps to spur Goose Immortal’s development, a batch of materials was delivered on the other side.

Thanks to Dean Du Yuanjia’s promise of cost price, Ye Hanjun saved a significant sum. He no longer faced money constraints.

Of this batch of materials, a small part was the food and supplements he needed to ensure that his life essence wouldn’t be depleted.
