Chapter 283: Extraordinary Since Birth, Ghost King Arrives
With no other ideas, Su Hao decided to initiate a blood contract.
As a handsome young man from the new era who had read 3,000 novels and knew how to criticize despite not knowing how to write, Su Hao was confident that a blood contract was the best solution to the problem he faced.
Alright, maybe it was wishful thinking.
Even though Su Hao was nervous, his eyes still stared unblinkingly at the dark red blood droplet. It fell from his fingers, pa.s.sed through the countless black smoke lingering around the mysterious black stone, and landed on the black stone about the size of a shoe.
“No response?” At that moment, he was a little disappointed.
Puff~
The surrounding Yin winds were suddenly all absorbed. A halo circulated on the mysterious black stone, and an invisible aura appeared, gradually rising.
Ding!
There was an intelligence points prompt as well as something else.
Su Hao quickly opened the interface. The breeding progress of [99.99999%] just now had already been displayed [100%]!
A sprite that was still [???] was being born!
He didn’t feel the contractual connection between him and the new sprite, but on the interface, behind the information boxes of b.u.t.terfly and the other four, a blank square appeared intermittently.
He gritted his teeth and pierced his finger with the blood collection device again, squeezing out a few more drops of blood onto the black stone.
The blood droplet was absorbed, but the blank square frame on the interface didn’t change much.
It still flashed and flashed.
Su Hao held his breath and stared unblinkingly. Countless shadows appeared in the air around the black stone… He understood now that the stone platform under the mysterious black stone was also a treasure. It was just that the icon was blocked by the black stone.
The black stone used the stone platform to absorb energy from all directions.
Su Hao couldn’t judge whether this range was a few hundred meters around, the whole underground town, or more than half of Ghost City?
He only knew that the shadow energy that appeared in the void had already turned into a sticky substance, wrapping around the rock like a huge black coc.o.o.n.
As it was extracted from the void, there wasn’t much commotion when the energy was absorbed, but the rising aura became more and more obvious, already shaking the air and making buzzing sounds.
“Fortunately, it’s underground. There’s also a thin barrier on the wall of the secret chamber.”
He saw that under the influence of the invisible aura, the Light-Faced Bright Night Spirit had started to call out weakly, clearly a little uncomfortable.
Even the elite-level Little Hui Ye felt uncomfortable. Just how strong was the sprite birthed by the black stone?
It was a little out of line with the basic sprite law!
As a human, his perception was just slightly inferior, so Su Hao didn’t feel anything for the time being. However, he still got Dumb Unicorn to set up water curtains, forming a barrier that enveloped the few sprites.
Strong winds swept through the secret room, thick black smoke scattered everywhere, and outside the water screen was darkness.
Thud, thud, thud…
Finally, the blinking of the interface information box gradually stopped.
In the depths of his soul, the connection of the contract suddenly took shape. He felt a completely new but powerful creature appear!
“Woo…”
“Woo…”
“Woo…”
The black coc.o.o.n formed by the surrounding black smoke and dense shadow energy was suddenly sucked in. The secret room suddenly became empty, and a slightly familiar looking sprite floated above the black stone.
It had a crown on its head, black, brown, and its robe with many gems embedded in it fluttered. It had no feet, only its hands sticking out from under its wide sleeves. Its eyes were bright and full of spirit, making people feel intimidated just by looking at it.
A dignified and terrifying aura spread, making the expressions of the few sprites solemn.
At this moment, crack ~
Countless cracks spread on the mysterious black stone, instantly splitting into four to five pieces. The stone platform below also seemed to be unable to withstand the surging energy and exploded together.
“???”
Su Hao’s heart ached a little, but he still opened the interface to check.

This attribute!
This interface!
Seriously… What the f*ck!
The interface of Yama Ghost King wasn’t very grand. It didn’t have many unique skills, profound meanings, and special cultivation.
But… its starting point was so high!
It was already extraordinary-level since birth, and it only had one form?
“Perhaps it’s because its incubation period is very long, and it absorbed a large amount of energy during this process?”
Su Hao could only guess this way. What made him pay more attention was his talent.
What was talent? It was either innate, obtained through a fortuitous encounter, or an elemental control that only extraordinary-level people could master.
It was something that couldn’t be obtained through cultivation alone.
From a talent ability, many tactics, unique skills, and even secret manuals could be extended.
Su Hao’s team only had b.u.t.terfly and Dumb Unicorn with special talents.
b.u.t.terfly’s “Illusionary Changes” was obtained from the Mirage Dragon ruins after it was born. The secret manual “Illusionary b.u.t.terfly” was created by fusing illusion with illusionary transformations.
Dumb Unicorn’s “Mist Cloud” was considered to be semi-innate. It was a talent brought about by the activation of the bloodline. At the moment, Su Hao had yet to have the time to cultivate the corresponding tactical system, but it was also… very impressive.
Despite having a luxurious interface, the “rich second-generation heir” Big Fat Bear didn’t have any special talent.
The Yama Ghost King had cheated since birth, it was simply… as scary as a ghost ~!
“Yama… Ah Yan, I’ll call you that from now on.” After all, the words Yama Ghost King are just too long.
The words “Ghost King” were too domineering.
How can a nickname be so domineering?
Well, it felt more intimate to call it Ah Yan. It could bring Yama Ghost King the warmth of home.
It had just been born. On the surface, it looked dignified and imposing, and was an authentic Yama Ghost King. There was nothing to complain about.
It was very quiet as it listened carefully to Su Hao. A dependent and familiar human who was giving it life lessons.
It was also learning the control of power.
After accidentally contracting a sprite with full potential and extraordinary battle power, Su Hao didn’t even have the mood to look for treasures anymore.
He stayed in the secret room and played the Sprite Enlightenment cartoon on his wristband.
It didn’t seem odd for Su Hao to have these but he kept them just to be safe. After all, it did prove to be useful at that moment.
Ah Yan floated in the air as its clothes fluttered despite the lack of wind. Its eyes stared straight at the projection on the wall. It looked very serious, and the expression on its face was filled with yearning for the beautiful world outside.
While it was learning, Su Hao also gave it a checkup.
He got some data that wasn’t displayed on the interface.
For example, the Yama Ghost King was different from the Nightmare Terror. It had a physical body, and the clothes on its body felt like silk.
What was even more surprising was that there wasn’t a physical body inside the robe. The whole Yama Ghost King was made up of a head, a pair of hands, and a robe.
So technically, the clothes were its main body.
After a few hours of enlightenment, Ah Yan pretty much understood how to use his own power. Su Hao ordered, “Try out your Gan Kun in the Shadow ability.”
The explanation given by the interface for this ability was that it could use shadows to store items.
But Su Hao still had to see it for himself. Data from all aspects also needed detailed testing.
“Hu~”
Ah Yan nodded. When it spoke, it was as if a cold wind was blowing. It’s hard to provide an accurate description of its voice.
But as a contracted sprite, it had no problem with communicating.
With a wave of its robe, a few cracked pieces of rock disappeared immediately.
With another wave, it appeared again.
“I finally have a storage ring after being a Sprite Trainer for two years!”
“And it’s not just regular storage… According to the interface, Ah Yan could even store a whole person. In addition to this ability, it can also use the unique skill Shadow Traverse to escape quickly. It’s definitely a first-cla.s.s life-saving skill.”
The moment Su Hao said that, Dumb Unicorn acted as if it had been electrocuted. It stretched its head out and looked over, its face filled with nervousness.
Was it afraid that it would lose its position as Su Hao’s mount?
“Hu ~ Hu ~”
“It seems Ah Yan’s Shadow Traverse can only last for a short while. Gan Kun in the Shadow also can’t maintain the storage state indefinitely. But that can be changed through cultivation.”
Dumb Unicorn relaxed after hearing Su Hao’s words. The whole Qilin laid on the ground and let out a long breath as white mist traveled out from its mouth.
When Ah Yan saw this, it sucked it up with a “slurp” and received the cold and comfortable contents.
Dumb Unicorn’s cold breath tasted good to ghost-element sprites?
Su Hao shook his head and said to Yama Ghost King, “Show me your next unique skill.”
