Wang Xiaoming slowly moved his head, his gaze landing on Rubia, who was slumped on a pile of rubble.

Rubia had endured Wang Xiaoming's first impact, and then experienced the second impact. These two consecutive impacts had completely deprived Rubia of her combat ability, and she had little ability to even move. She could only slump there, panting in an extremely disheveled state.

Rubia looked up at the massive black dragon that completely blocked the moonlight in front of her, feeling utterly despairing.

Why would a spirit of this level be willing to form a contract with a human? That was Laevatein, the Flame of Divine Slaughter, yet it was instantly killed like trash. Even Laevatein was too proud to contract with a human. Rubia had risked her life to contract with Laevatein; if she lost, Laevatein would directly take her life.

Although Laevatein's death at the hands of the black dragon before her meant that Rubia no longer had to worry about her life being taken, this overwhelming and irresistible power filled her with despair.

It seemed her wish would never be fulfilled.

"Claire, I'm sorry."

With that final despairing sentence, Rubia closed her eyes.

At this point, all the participating teams in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival had been eliminated, leaving only Lin Sylphid's team.

The Spirit Sword Dance Festival had ended!

256. Randomly Biting the Fire Spirit King to Death!

The people of the Divine Ritual Academy never expected that the seven-day preliminary round of the Spirit Sword Dance Festival would end on the very first day.

Most of the participants chose to voluntarily withdraw from the arena, abandoning this Spirit Sword Dance Festival. A small number were directly carried out with serious injuries. In the end, only one team remained in the entire competition arena.

This team didn't have a single mana stone, but they also didn't have any opponents left. Even if they had only picked up one mana stone, they would still be the first-place winners of this preliminary round, and the only ones at that.

With only one team left, what was the point of continuing the competition? Especially since the other teams had either voluntarily withdrawn or been completely wiped out. There was no way to continue the remaining matches.

The helpless Shrine Ritual Academy priestesses could only enter the arena to notify Lin Sylphid and the others that the competition was over. Then, they saw the group gathered by the stream, happily eating dinner and chatting, with Rubia lying on the ground not far away.

The whole atmosphere was extremely strange.

It seemed they hadn't come to participate in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival at all, but rather a picnic.

The Shrine Ritual Academy priestesses could only say: Amazing!

However, the Shrine Ritual Academy priestesses didn't dare to say much. From the previous participants who had withdrawn, they learned that a girl named Lin Sylphid in this team had contracted with an incredibly powerful dragon spirit, and it was that dragon spirit that had directly eliminated everyone. So, facing these picnicking girls, they didn't dare to say anything.

They patiently waited until they had finished eating before stepping forward to inform them that the Spirit Sword Dance Festival was over and that they were the final winners.

In this situation, there was no need for any delay. Even if they had any small tricks they wanted to play, it was useless. Unless they banned the dragon spirit, but the problem was, how could they ban the dragon spirit? And if they banned the dragon spirit, wouldn't that directly anger the other party? After all, the other party was completely following the rules.

They were just small figures and didn't dare to offend the big shots here, especially since the team also included the previous Spirit Sword Dance Festival champion, Lian Ashbell, who was also a big figure.

Thus, Lin Sylphid's team became the champion of this year's Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

This news quickly spread to all the countries. The Spirit Sword Dance Festival ending on the first day and a champion being crowned shocked all the countries, especially those with ulterior motives. They were dumbfounded.

This was too fast! Wasn't it supposed to last ten days? I was just starting to prepare, and you've already finished? Should I continue with my preparations or not?

Regardless of what those ambitious countries did, Lin Sylphid and the others, now champions, began to happily rest under the care of the Shrine Ritual Academy priestesses. Early the next morning, they were woken up by the priestesses and prepared to go to the bathhouse for a purification ritual. After the ritual, they could enter the Audience Chamber to meet the Spirit King.

Because Kazehaya Kamito was male, they could only perform the purification ritual in batches.

While Lin Sylphid and the other girls were undergoing the purification ritual, Wang Xiaoming decisively ran away with Est. He wanted to go to the Audience Hall first to see which Spirit Kings were there, so he could randomly pick a lucky Spirit King to assassinate.

The location of the Audience Hall was easy to find; it was the largest gate. The Spirit Kings of this world might not be that capable, but they certainly demanded a grand display.

Therefore, the largest gate was definitely it.

Before acting, Wang Xiaoming had Est return to his body, merging with him, so that he could possess Est's power. Then, using his passive ability to reduce his presence, he sneaked into the Audience Hall.

The entire Audience Hall was at least twenty meters high, a very spacious building. From the main entrance to the inner hall, it was at least a hundred meters, all of which was such a wide and tall corridor. Wang Xiaoming strolled along, admiring the magnificent corridor, thinking to himself that the architecture was truly beautiful.

He slowly walked to the depths, to a huge circular hall. Here, Wang Xiaoming saw the five seats located on the upper level.

The light here was very dim, and it was difficult to see the things above, but that didn't affect Wang Xiaoming. By channeling curse power into his eyes, Wang Xiaoming could easily see the things on the seats.

They should be considered things, because there were clusters of black things on the seats. Five seats meant five Spirit Kings, but in reality, only three seats had anything on them.

Wang Xiaoming couldn't see their appearances clearly because they were wrapped in a cluster of black things, looking like balls, but he could determine their identities through the symbols on their seats.

The warrior holding a burning sword—the Fire Spirit King "Volcanics."

The gentle-eyed youth—the Wind Spirit King "Belfair."

The giant wielding an iron hammer—the Earth Spirit King "Rod Gea."

The woman holding a water bottle in front of her chest—the Water Spirit King "Isaria Seawright."

The old man holding a scale and a scepter—the Holy Spirit King "Alexander."

Good heavens, four out of the five Spirit Kings were male. No wonder the Spirit Contractors were all pure maidens. As expected, they were all perverts! Wang Xiaoming's previous speculation when he came to this world was completely correct!

As for why Wang Xiaoming was sure they were perverts, it was of course because only perverts understood perverts the best. If Wang Xiaoming became a Spirit King, he would do the same, only allowing pure young maidens to contract with spirits, or having young maidens serve him or something.

After revealing a knowing smile, Wang Xiaoming once again turned his gaze to the Spirit King's throne.

Among them, the positions of the Earth Spirit King and the Holy Spirit King were empty. There were things in the positions of the Wind and Fire Spirit Kings, which meant that not all five Spirit Kings were present in the hall; only three had come.

It seemed the Earth Spirit King and the Holy Spirit King were lucky today and didn't have to worry about being randomly drawn by him.

Then, the lottery to be drawn next would be very simple.

The Wind Spirit King was the landlord of this area, and this holy ground belonged to the Wind Spirit King's territory. His image was a short youth. A shorty? No!

The Water Spirit King was the guy who had frozen Lin Sylphid's sister. The reason Lin Sylphid participated in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival was to rescue her sister. Later, after the Water Spirit King woke up, he also explained the reason: Lin Sylphid's sister had come into contact with the Otherworld Darkness and was being corrupted by the darkness, so he chose to temporarily seal her to prevent Lin Sylphid's sister from being swallowed.

Subsequently, the Water Spirit King also lifted the seal.

Well, before temporarily understanding the situation of his wife's sister, that is, his sister-in-law's seal, the Water Spirit King was spared.

Then, the only remaining option was to randomly select the Fire Spirit King.

Fire Spirit King: ......

It just so happened that his own Est was now the Holy Flame Sword, so as long as he assassinated the Fire Spirit King, Wang Xiaoming could replace him and become the new Fire Spirit King wielding the Flame Sword.

Wang Xiaoming grinned, revealing the sharp canines that had become sharp due to the God-Slaying Fang skill.

Come on, let me take a bite, just one bite.

257. Restia Wants to Please Lord Xiaoming

Inside the sacred ground's enormous bath, mist filled the air as the girls comfortably reclined in the warm water, leaning against the edge of the pool, eyes closed in enjoyment.

"Ah~~~ This is so comfortable. This bath is twice as big as the one at my house."

Linse, who came from a prestigious family, naturally had such a large bath in her own territory, but compared to the one here, it was still much smaller. The Spirit King's territory was indeed more enjoyable.

"After a busy day, a delicious dinner, a good night's sleep, and now a nice hot bath, this Spirit Sword Dance Festival feels like such a treat."

"Yes, I really hope the next Spirit Sword Dance Festival will be just as enjoyable."

"Hmph, being able to enjoy ourselves like this is all thanks to me, Linse."

"Linse, what does it have to do with you? It's clearly Lord Xiaoming's power that's strong."

Everyone was used to Linse's boasting, but even after getting used to it, they would still choose to complain about her. They couldn't indulge her too much, or her already arrogant self would soar to the heavens.

"But Lord Xiaoming is my contracted spirit, and he's also my husband. He and I are one. Do you have any objections?"

"Tch, always saying that."

Claire pouted unhappily.

"What else can we do? What she said is indeed the truth. We can't refute it."

Fianna shook her head with a wry smile.

"Indeed, the reason we were able to win the Spirit Sword Dance Festival so easily was indeed due to Lord Xiaoming. Although Kami and our strength are strong, and we are confident in defeating all opponents and winning the championship, it definitely wouldn't be this easy, especially since your sister, Claire, also participated in the Sword Dance Festival."

"Sister..."

Speaking of her sister, Claire's good mood instantly plummeted.

Her sister, Rubia, was not dead. After being directly crushed and defeated by Wang Xiaoming and having Leviathan bitten to death, Rubia fell unconscious due to excessive Divine Power consumption. Wang Xiaoming brought her back to the team, and she was brought out together when leaving the competition venue. Because Claire wanted to know why Rubia had betrayed the Fire Spirit King in the first place, she had been keeping Rubia in the team. Claire also learned the truth of that year from Rubia.

Now Rubia was still in the team's dormitory, watched over by the priestesses. After all, Rubia was wanted by the Fire Spirit King, so being guarded was normal. As for what would happen next, it would depend on the Fire Spirit King's wishes.

It had to be said that Rubia was a very magical character. The last character who had made Wang Xiaoming feel so magical was a certain Onii-san who had slaughtered his family and only left his younger brother.

This sister was in a similar situation. After the Fire Spirit King demanded her most beloved sister, Claire, from her, she realized that the Fire Spirit King's brain was already broken, so she decisively chose to defect and snatched Leviathan, who had been sealed by the Fire Spirit King. However, her own family directly declined from the four great families, her parents were imprisoned, and her sister was demoted to a commoner.

And the purpose of her doing this was all for her sister. For her sister, she wanted to gather strength outside, then kill the Fire Spirit King, and even kill all the Spirit Kings, creating a world without spirits!

This way, her sister would not be targeted by the Spirit King and would not have to worry about losing her life.

For her sister's safety, she even took the initiative to design a plan to send her sister, Claire, to Kazehaya Kamito, this Demon King, to have Claire contract with Kazehaya Kamito and become the Dark Spirit Princess of the Dark Spirit King, so that her sister's safety would be even more guaranteed.

Whatthefuck?

After Wang Xiaoming learned this information from the awakened Rubia, a series of question marks instantly popped up on his head.

Good heavens, what were you thinking? Why could you come up with such a bizarre idea? Are you also from the Tribe of Love! Your character setting has a bit too many mixed roles.

"Alright, Claire, we have now won the Spirit Sword Dance Festival. Regarding Miss Rubia's matter, I think there will definitely be a turning point. It was the Spirit King who was angry back then, but you can wish to extinguish the Spirit King's anger."

Linse comforted her good friend.

"Besides, you also know about the Spirit King, right?"

She also knew about the Spirit King being swallowed by darkness. Wang Xiaoming had told them at the time. According to the information Wang Xiaoming said, they shouldn't even have come to participate in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival, but Wang Xiaoming said they could, so they still came to participate, because Wang Xiaoming also told them that all wishes would be fulfilled by Wang Xiaoming.

"Lord Xiaoming will definitely help us fulfill our wishes."

This was what Wang Xiaoming had promised Linse when he contracted with her. Whether it was Linse's wish or Claire's wish, they would all be fulfilled by Wang Xiaoming!

"Yes!"

Having witnessed Wang Xiaoming's world-destroying power, Claire chose to believe Linse.

Seeing that the topic was a bit heavy, Fianna decided to change the subject. She looked at Linse and thought of something.

"Speaking of which, Linse, have you and Lord Xiaoming done 'that' yet?"

"What?"

Linse looked over with a curious expression. What was 'that'?

Fianna had a mysterious smile on her face, her hands came out of the water, her left index finger and thumb pinched together, and then her right index finger passed through.

In an instant, the faces of several girls all turned red. Clearly, they understood!

"H-How is that possible? That kind of thing... I'm a Spirit User, only pure maidens can become Spirit Users!"

Linse stuttered even more out of shyness.

"Oh~~ So it seems you haven't done it yet."

The smile on Fianna's face deepened.

"Linse, you don't need to say that only pure maidens can become Spirit Users. Your contracted spirits, besides Fenrir, are Lord Xiaoming. Do you think Lord Xiaoming would abandon his contract with you because you're not a pure maiden?"

"This kind of thing... this kind of thing..."

"You don't completely know what to do, do you? That won't do. As a wife, you must know how to serve your husband, especially since Lord Xiaoming is a high-ranking spirit, and you are his contractor, so you must understand how to serve him, otherwise Lord Xiaoming, as a spirit, will be very disappointed."

"I know that without you telling me! I will learn properly!"

"Do you want me to teach you?"

Fianna moved closer to Linse.

"I used to stay in the Divine Ritual Institute. They teach the priestesses how to please spirits. Although I didn't continue to stay there, I learned many of the methods here."

Linse's face was red as she looked at Fianna, leaned closer, and whispered.

"P-Please tell me."

Claire and Ellis also blushed and leaned in, perking up their ears, looking expectant.

Fianna's lips curled up, and then she began to explain the knowledge she had learned to the girls. Soon after, the entire bathroom was filled with the girls' constant surprised voices.

258. Fire Spirit King ~ Xiaoming Alter

The time for the ablution was not very long. Even if the girls exchanged and learned knowledge about pleasing spirits, it did not take long. After all, they were going to meet the Spirit King. Although the Spirit King was now a pile of black mud, they, as Spirit Users, could not keep the Spirit King waiting for too long.

Therefore, after a series of tedious preparations, they entered the audience hall.

Kazehaya Kamito was also among them. She was still in a state of cross-dressing. Unlike Claire and the others, Kazehaya Kamito entered the bathroom with Restia, and then came out with a red face in less than five minutes. This man was super fast!
