The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 210 - 136: If I Win, Worship Me As Your Master_4

"It’s not a difficult matter."

Ye Hanjun said nonchalantly:

"If I win, you will formally acknowledge me as your mentor in front of everyone, how about it?"

"..."

Renwo Kuang was slightly taken aback.

The students who were listening also thought they had misheard. After confirming repeatedly, they realized Ye Hanjun was not bluffing. He had really proposed such a condition in a calm manner, leaving many dumbfounded.

"Isn’t that a bit too much?"

On the mentor’s seat, some who didn’t care as if they were elders watching children play, gradually lost all their smiles.

"In Canghai Pavilion, an assistant tutor has no right to take an exclusive disciple. This has been the tradition since the establishment of the academy."

"Is the matter about the rules? Assistant Han has already broken the rules! What would another breach mean?"

Another one gasped, unable to believe:

"He actually dared to say that, with such confidence, is he really not afraid of shattering his teeth and being ridiculed by everyone?"

"Don’t worry, mentors."

Ye Hanjun’s mouth corner lifted, saying leisurely:

"I haven’t finished yet."

"If I win against Renwo Kuang, he will recognize me as his mentor, and I will guide him on The Path of Controlling Spirits."

"As for the academy, providing a private place should not be a problem."

"What I really want to propose is, if I can defeat Renwo Kuang, can the academy remove my assistant title and grant me the status of a formal mentor?"

"In this way, there would be no implication about an assistant breaking the rules. As a formal mentor, it would be normal to cultivate a disciple..."

"Bold!"

Before he finished speaking, an impatient mentor slammed the table and spoke angrily:

"No matter what, the promotion to assistant was already an exception."

"You actually aspire for a formal mentor’s position. You are taking such bold strides, aren’t you afraid of ripping your pants?"

"The capable ones should be mentors, what’s wrong with that?"

Ye Hanjun curiously countered:

"If I do nothing and simply agree to fight Ren and ask for the position of a formal mentor in return, of course that would be whimsical."

"But I’ve also put a wager. If I can truly defeat Renwo Kuang, I would be the strongest first rank in the North Campus. Is such ability belittled for a mentor’s position?"

"I thought Renwo Kuang was arrogant enough. It turns out there’s someone more arrogant in the North Campus!"

The impatient mentor exhaled a hot breath, speaking without reserve:

"Looking at the tide of time, no matter how strong one is at any rank, if they promote to the next rank, they might fall behind."

"Like the incident of the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group, doesn’t matter how powerful the first rank is, can you prevent the offenders? You are still brutally suppressed by the gap between ranks, not leaving a single room for turning around."

Ye Hanjun shook his head and didn’t respond to that mentor.

He turned his body and asked Renwo Kuang:

"If I win, and you acknowledge me as your mentor, would you obey?"

"If you really can defeat me at the same rank, what harm would there be to acknowledge you as my mentor?"

Renwo Kuang’s voice increased by three degrees, an intense enthusiasm for battle erupted in his eyes, he responded like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

"That settles it then."

Ye Hanjun nodded, he made a fist in respect towards the elderly at the main referee’s seat, and calmly said:

"My conditions are on the table, I consider myself reasonable and not excessive."

"Ren has no objections on his side, I would like to ask the senior elders from the academy to make a decision."

Jiang Yongnian, Dong Xuan, Hong Li... eleven elderly men with graying hair exchanged glances, some shook their head, some nodded.

"A simple wish, but coming from you, it immediately became a challenge to the traditional rules of the academy over the years..."

"It’s really hard to evaluate you, I don’t know what to say about you..."

After discussing for a while, Jiang Yongnian sighed three times, sounding rather speechless:

"Alright, you are the one I brought into the academy."

"If you really can defeat Renwo Kuang, regardless of the criticism, you have the qualification to break the rules."

"Go ahead, there is an underground training room at the venue. It’s structurally stable and of an appropriate size, more than sufficient to serve as the arena for you two."
