The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 442 - 206: Under Master Han’s Command, the Gathering of the Arrogant_3

Most of the mercenaries are boisterous and chivalrous in their day-to-day life.

They followed Canghai Pavilion to Blue Mountain City and met four top warriors of the 4th order. One by one, they restrained themselves, not daring to make noise but only listened to the arrangements of the college in peace.

Unexpectedly, the famous Master Han called out their names.

"Are you willing to join my army?" Ye Hanjun asked bluntly.

His thoughts were simple. Although the Sand Sculptures traveled to Blue Mountain City all together, Goose Immortal was constantly using them for military drills, resulting in a monotonous mobilization of the Bird Squadron. It should be expanded.

At the same time, he brought his disciples and other students into the war. To improve the overall survival rate of the troops, he indeed needed some lieutenants, to serve as his deputies.

"Master Han personally invited us, how could we refuse?"

Gu Feizhou fist saluted, the first to accept.

He was a Light Attribute Magic Apprentice and was a Freelance Mercenary.

Because he had no family to take care of, he came to Border Wars, half to defend the country and half for his own interests. Being able to work under the renowned Master Han was an unexpected joy.

"Does Master Han only need me?"

He Wei revealed a hint of dilemma on his face and looked back at his established mercenary team.

If possible, he did not want to be separated from his well-coordinated team.

But the appeal from Master Han’s side was incredibly strong. Becoming this legendary figure, who single-handedly ranked first in the Canghai Pavilion of the Five Colleges League and became a star mentor at a young age, was a tempting allure for anyone.

"How many members of your Hardwood Mercenary Group have come here, what are their roles, what are their Fond Spirits? Tell me one by one."

"Four members came with me, all of them are good hands of the 2nd order. I didn’t bring any weak ones!"

He Wei was overjoyed and immediately pulled out the four people for introduction one by one.

Ye Hanjun looked them over. Seeing none who could be a drag, he accepted them all.

When He Wei, Gu Feizhou, and the others settled behind him, the students and mercenaries who were not chosen revealed a lot of envy.

"The Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, all of you line up."

"I’ve heard of you, especially the group leader, known as the Flame Thief, who is very powerful."

Ye Hanjun suddenly pointed out towards a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe among the mercenaries.

The crowd subconsciously parted a bit, leaving more space for that figure. Under the gaze of all eyes, Dongfang Xu lifted his hat rim, revealing his fiery red hair under the gaze of everyone.

"The Mercenary Group that Steals Fire... these mysterious people..."

"Yeah, I heard that they don’t recruit people casually, each one of them is a hand-picked elite by the ’Flame Thief.’ They would rather lack than have mediocrity. Every one of them is outstanding!"

The surrounding mercenaries were all in astonishment. They hadn’t expected that they had such people beside them during their ten days of journeying.

"Eh, wait a minute, strong as the Flame Thief is, he seems to be at the peak of the 2nd order."

"But now... look at the flame flickering in his pupils, and the aura he’s emitting. It’s not weaker than a 3rd order warrior..."

"That’s right! Certainly, he has advanced! Otherwise, how could he catch the eye of Master Han?!"

The whispers stopped abruptly when Ye Hanjun spoke:

"Are you willing to join my army and follow my orders?"

"I will obey Master Han’s orders."

Dongfang Xu nodded, his face cold, more like an assassin than an assassin.

Though a familiar disciple, they needed to maintain professionalism.

But to reasonably plot matters together, they had to keep the necessary semblances.

Ye Hanjun did the same.

Of course, his perception lingered on the faces of the students and teachers, focusing on Qin Tianyi. He wanted to see if this person could perceive and recognize the Flame Thief after his complete change, who immersed in Fire Element, was actually Dongfang Xu, the former Fire Magician.

Unquestionably, with his ’Super Spirituality,’ Ye Hanjun did not perceive any ill intent.

However, it was also clear that the fire elements Dongfang Xu commanded were so bright that they were intrinsically repelled by the Ice Element wielder, Qin Tianyi, who was of the same rank. He frowned slightly and showed a fleeting dislike.

"Is there any more recommendation? If there are confident and excellent mercenaries, I would be glad to let my students learn survival experience from you."

Ye Hanjun openly asked, and the topic shifted again.

There were a significant number of people who came to fight with Canghai Pavilion. When they came, he did not have the leisure to observe them one by one, and many of them were left out.

Among them, there should be some with special roles. If their strength met the standard, Ye Hanjun was willing to incorporate them under his command.

"I’m Lin Pingfan, coming forward of my own accord."

While most people were looking to the left and right, or encouraging the people they knew to go in front of Master Han to seize an opportunity.

A young nobleman with a feather fan came forward. Deep dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion made him look weak, as if he had been drained by the indulgence of wine and women.

However, his demeanor appeared too calm. Casually wagging his feather fan, undisturbed and confident, he assuredly said:

"Honestly, a significant reason why I chose to come to Blue Mountain City was that I had heard that Master Han had resisted the attack of the Shadow Alliance. I was very curious about you."

"I am a ’Ghost Catcher.’ If Master Han has heard of this role before, you should be somewhat interested in me."

"Ghost Catcher??? Lin Pingfan???"

Connecting the two keywords, someone finally remembered a piece of past:

"Are you the Ghost Catcher who single-handedly eradicated the Mad Bear Mercenary Group five years ago?"

"We all thought you were dead. I didn’t think you were still alive. That’s unusual!"

Lin Pingfan laughed heartily:

"How long ago was that? If you didn’t bring it up, I would have forgotten about it."

"After all, I don’t like places too bright or too influenced by positive energy. I prefer to stay alone in the deep mountains and wilderness. The more populous and lively a place, the more I stay away."

"This time the country is in trouble, and I have to contribute. I have to take on some responsibilities... Master Han, do you think my role and rank could satisfy you?"
