Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 298 Thunder Shadow Step

"In an environment like Fushan Plain, my Death Aura attribute can be utilized to its utmost, moving like a ghost and acting like a phantom shadow, making it most suitable for ambushes and harassment."

"Moreover, the Li family and the Zhang family haven’t joined forces yet, making it even easier for me to ambush them."

"Additionally, I can also keep track of their situation at all times, informing you of the number of Demon Beasts they’ve hunted, so you’ll know exactly how many to hunt."

After finishing, Xiao Zhan looked towards Hose, waiting for his opinion.

He thought his plan was very feasible, but Hose’s opinion was not to be overlooked, his unique analytical ability was still very straightforward.

After listening, Hose pondered for two seconds, obviously employing his Talent Skill to analyze all the possibilities of the matter.

Finally, he looked at Xiao Zhan and shook his head helplessly, "Actually, I’m not in favor of you taking this approach, but I know you can’t sit still. In any case, this carries certain risks, but I believe you can handle it well."

Xiao Zhan chuckled, "It’s not that I can’t sit still, but that I can’t remain idle regarding the Li corporate group. They definitely won’t act so compliantly with the rules, rather than waiting for them to come to us, it’s better for us to take the initiative."

"You’re the master, we’ll follow your lead."

"Alright, then that’s settled. The rest of you stay behind to hunt Demon Beasts, and I’ll go deal with them alone," Xiao Zhan said.

"Go alone?" Both Hose and Li Teng frowned at the same time, "Wouldn’t that be too risky by yourself? Why not bring a few people with you, have everyone from the Hand of Death follow you?"

"Don’t even think about it," Xiao Zhan quickly waved his hands, "With so many from the Hand of Death, following me would change from harassment to outright combat."

Xiao Zhan declined.

Then he turned his head and added, "Besides, I’m not completely alone, I have my wife with me."

Heh heh.

Hose and Li Teng had dark lines on their foreheads.

Now it’s taken for granted that you and your wife count as one, right?

Does it make a difference if it’s one person or two?

Seeing they were about to nag some more, Xiao Zhan quickly interjected, "Don’t worry, with the Death Aura, I am like a fish in water here on Fushan Plain. On the contrary, bringing them would only restrict me."

Hose nodded.

That was indeed the truth; these people following Xiao Zhan would be both helpers and a burden.

Xiao Zhan acting alone would definitely have an advantage.

"Fine, then be careful, and let us know if anything happens. We’ll come to support you immediately," Hose agreed to Xiao Zhan’s plan.

There was no choice; even if unwilling, Hose couldn’t stop Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded immediately, "Okay, then it’s decided."

After saying goodbye to them, Xiao Zhan’s figure vanished into the woods.

Looking at his departing silhouette, Li Teng said with concern, "Just like that, we let the master venture out alone?"

Hose said, "It’s not really that risky, you know his character, always cautiously progressing, he won’t do anything unless he’s sure."

"Hope so."

Li Teng sighed. Having a master who liked to act on his own, he wasn’t sure if it was a good thing.

"Alright, everyone get ready, prepare to start hunting Demon Beasts!"

"Yes!"

...

After leaving the main force, Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and then headed directly towards the southern area of the Zhang family.

The northern area was the Li corporate group’s position, and their strength was the strongest; Xiao Zhan alone would have a hard time dealing with them. It was much simpler with the Zhang family, having only one Fifth Grade Spirit Master, three Fourth Grade, and the rest all Third Grade.

And with a total headcount of only sixty groups, for Xiao Zhan to handle them, it was very simple.

So the first one, they were taken as the starting point for the cut.

...

Meanwhile.

Zhang family troops.

Zhang Feng, the leader of the Zhang family, was leading his clansmen towards Fushan Ridge; they had agreed to meet there with the Li corporate group.

"Brother, I didn’t expect the Li corporate group to be so generous this time, gifting us the Spirit Manipulation Technique, Thunder Shadow Step. To help them deal with the Xiao family, what’s so difficult about the Xiao family? Except for having a few more people, this is simply reaping profits without any capital," said a man walking alongside Zhang Feng, his name was Zhang Hai, Zhang Feng’s brother.

At this point, he laughed heartily, feeling that they had indeed picked up a big bargain.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng, as if thinking of something, his lips curled into a smile, "You’re right, indeed it’s reaping profits without any capital, what’s the Xiao family anyway? Why the need for such a fuss."

"I think the Li corporate group is purely frightened by Xiao Yu alone, Xiao Yu is impressive by himself, but can his whole Xiao family also be that impressive?"

"That’s exactly right, I see the Xiao family is frantically recruiting people in the streets, anyone will do. Nearly two-thirds of their nearly 200 groups are just rabble; how could they compete with our well-trained family troops?" Zhang Hai agreed.

The two laughed again.

"However, speaking of which, we have to thank the Xiao family for getting our hands on something as good as Thunder Shadow Step. Without them, would the Li corporate group be willing to share it with us?"

As he spoke, Zhang Feng took out a Spirit Manipulation Stone from his chest.

Some Spirit Manipulation Techniques are recorded on paper scrolls, while others on special stones, these stones are called Spirit Manipulation Stones.

He held it to his forehead, basking in the sunlight and admiring the stone.

But suddenly the corners of his mouth drooped, with a hint of dissatisfaction, he said, "It’s a pity they only gave us the first half; otherwise, I would want to practice it right now."

It was possible to cultivate with only the first half, but it was incomplete and not as good as having the whole technique.

Zhang Hai patted his shoulder, "It doesn’t matter, haven’t the Li family promised us? As long as this event ends smoothly, they’ll hand over the other half to us."

Zhang Feng sneered and shook his head, "It’s true that’s what they say, but can you guarantee that the Li family will actually give it to us? Do we, as brothers, not understand what kind of people the Li corporate group are?"

"They might give other things away, but Thunder Shadow Step is treasured by their own family; do you think they would so easily give it to us?"

"That’s true too." Zhang Hai also frowned, "Those from the Li corporate group, if they don’t kill the donkey after the grinding is done, it would already be a good outcome, let alone handing over the second half of Thunder Shadow Step to us; that’s as steep as climbing over mountain trails."

"Well, even this first half is a rare treasure, and getting it is already quite good. Without saying anything else, a Fourth Grade Spirit Master practicing it could easily contend with a Fifth Grade."

"That is indeed true. If Li Tianshan, that fool, hadn’t insisted on trying to make a breakthrough on the spot, and had used Thunder Shadow Step, he might well have survived."
