Chapter 66 - 65: I give you the Key of the Grey Moon!_1
The midday sun, golden and radiant.
Under the clear blue sky, by the unused street.
Su Mei looks up, her eyes no longer filled with timidity, only solemnity that was as sharp as a needle.
——She was serious.
Seems the past experiences weren’t very friendly to her.
Erupt in silence, or perish in it.
The smile Ye Hanjun put on, also became slightly brighter, breaking the repressed and solemn atmosphere.
"Follow me."
With practiced ease, Ye Hanjun leads Su Mei, finds the nearest training hall.
Relying on the Assistant Instructor Badge, they rent a large private training room, and walk straight in.
"Rumble——"
The massive metal door behind them quickly closes.
The training room that greets the eye, covers an area of over ten thousand square meters, all made of polished black stone.
Designed unevenly, it’s especially suitable for speed-type Contracted Fond Spirits to perform on endurance or physically coordinated training.
"Master Han, is there... any specific way to formally acknowledge you as my master?"
Approaching the enclosed area, though she has already made up her mind, to seize the opportunity to try different possibilities.
But Su Mei can still hear her own heartbeat. Nervousness, anticipation, desire, confusion...an emotional mess, maybe they are all present?
"In the Giant Frog Marsh, how does one usually acknowledge a true master?"
"The three countries here, they are all rule-of-law societies."
Su Mei points at her chin while speaking thoughtfully:
"Though the universal rule is to respect the master as one would their father, not many can actually do it."
"Alright, let’s go by my rules."
Turning around, Ye Hanjun faces Su Mei and says solemnly:
"As per our previous agreement, to acknowledge me as your master, you need to give 150 lower quality Spirit Stones."
"Yes, Master Han!"
Su Mei reaches into her waist pouch, directly takes out three small bags like sachets, and respectfully hands them over.
Ye Hanjun takes them, weighs them casually, and doesn’t count them.
The worse the quality of a Spirit Stone, the smaller its size.
Like lower quality Spirit Stones, each one is about the size of a green bean, extremely convenient to carry around.
"The most basic acknowledgment gift is taken care of."
Ye Hanjun murmurs, stuffing them into his pocket.
Then he looks at Su Mei, as a matter of course saying:
"To acknowledge me as your master, you must kneel."
"No need for three kneels and nine bows, one will suffice."
"Yes!" Su Mei draws in a breath, somewhat surprised.
In the Blue Frog Kingdom, as long as you have a position of power, even when meeting the king, no kneeling is required.
This is the most solemn rite, and the highest etiquette.
Many people, after reaching adulthood, rarely have the chance to use it in their lives.
However, since this is Master Han’s request, there must be a reason for it, right?
Black hair, black pupils, obviously not a native of the Giant Frog Marsh...
If he comes from somewhere else, having different traditions and rules is completely understandable...
Su Mei thinks, first bows with hands folded in front, then kneels down.
After the first bow, she remains kneeling, straightens her upper body, and looks up at Ye Hanjun again.
"Very good."
"From today onwards, your destiny is linked with me, your future... might be rewritten by me."
"Buzz——"
Without the wind, clothing flutters.
The eyes of Ye Hanjun suddenly change, deep and mysterious, as if hiding a deep abyss.
The cold and indifferent emotion, once rising, is like an Icebound Giant Dragon hovering above the mountain top, all forms of life are just fleeting clouds and humble dirt in his eyes.
"My real surname is ’Ye’."
"Afterwards, if I don’t share related stories with you actively, you’re not allowed to ask."
"If I don’t allow you to disclose, never speak of it."
"Yes..." Su Mei trembles, her upright upper body completely stiff, her pulse nearly stops.
What is this? Can someone please tell her what’s happening?!
The originally weak and possibly chronically ill Master Han.
The sudden change in his aura, is like a mortal suddenly thrown into purgatory.
That kind of indifferent gaze towards life and death, when it lightly falls on her, the cold rushes from her feet to the top of her head.
Every inch of her, her bones and flesh are whimpering in fear, as if the spirits are afraid of the man in front of them.
"I am an Instructor."
Ye Hanjun takes back the aura of the Demon Servant, fully closed.
However, the ambiance surrounding him only gets rid of the cold and darkness.
Instead, an ancient aura pervades, as if falling into an ancient relic, a mortal tries to glimpse the shadow of the god.
"To acknowledge me as your master, I will give you the Key of the Grey Moon."
"From today onwards, you’ll carry my ambition, bear my expectations, and I will use my eyes, to witness your rise, look directly at your glory..."
"First disciple..."
"...Present!"
"Buzzing——"
Rays of gray light, sparkles silently in extinction.
The twisted air stream swirls around her body like a storm, the hollow powerless feeling as if she was about to be devoured, seeps into Su Mei’s clothes in an instant.
She is trembling!
Cold sweat drops one by one.
Even if she clenches her palm tightly, she still can’t feel a trace of warmth.
"Relax."
As if a voice from the heavens falls into Su Mei’s ear, in her wide brown pupils, reflects a miniaturized grey crescent.
The crescent moon was getting closer and slower.
Until there was a slight tingling sensation in the center of the eyebrows, the soul felt like a dagger had been inserted into it.
With a scream, Su Mei could no longer support her rigid body and fell forward.
"And thus..."
"...the ceremony is complete!"
Ye Hanjun reached out and supported Su Mei’s shoulder.
Above his eyebrows, the grey day gradually disappeared, and the surrounding grey moons also reduced from three to two.
When the grey light completely disappeared, Ye Hanjun’s expression returned to normal.
The anticipated fatigue did not appear.
Instead, it was a sense of intimacy that transcended the bound spirit, like a line of destiny that was unclearly visible, one end connected to him and the other bound to Su Mei’s soul.
Miraculous.
The abilities of the Instructor were truly miraculous.
"Gah?"
"Gah gah..."
The pink ostrich had not been recalled from the beginning.
It stood behind its master, when Ye Hanjun’s two fingers clasped a grey moon and imprinted it on the master’s forehead.
Even though it was a wild beast with limited intelligence, nervousness and unease weighed heavily on it, almost crushing it.
When the ceremony was over and the master was unconscious...
The pink ostrich, which was also lying on the ground, still didn’t dare to get up.
In its gaze towards Ye Hanjun, there was only fear left.
Good heavens...
What sort of beast is this...
Was the master killed, should I go fight back?
Huh? Why can’t I stand up? Why do my legs and wings not obey?
...
Ye Hanjun gave it a glance, the pink ostrich was so scared that it immediately covered its head with its wings, as if this could hide it and spare it from death.
Perhaps its cry was too harsh.
Su Mei gently woke up, her scattered gaze staring straight at the ceiling, it took her a while to focus.
"This..."
"Master Han, what was that just now?"
Rolling up and suddenly stopping, Su Mei noticed something.
On her right pinky, an ancient, gray ring fit perfectly.
This is definitely not a qualified accessory, not exquisite enough, not unique enough, unable to highlight the wearer’s personality.
But deep down, Su Mei felt this ring was very suitable for her, it had an intimate feeling as if her blood melted in the water.
What is this then?
Gently rubbing the ring, the metal texture was extraordinarily clear, apart from this there were no other anomalies.
She tried to move it, yet the ring appeared to be soldered onto her finger. It could gradually disappear as she willed it to.
After several simple attempts, she was still clueless.
Su Mei stood up, surprised as she examined herself.
It should not be an illusion, the tan skin that had been forged from long-term exercise had lightened a bit.
The rough skin, not given any particular care, had become slightly smoother all of a sudden.
While the contours of the muscles seemed to have no obvious changes, making a fist and kicking felt a lot lighter.
"The structure of my body... has it improved?" Su Mei’s expression was full of disbelief.
Just a few minutes space of time, and she had undergone incredible changes.
Is this the real world and not just a dream world?
"Gah—"
Her master had awakened, the pink ostrich immediately sprang up.
The scene of it crashing into the wall was still fresh in memory.
But now it was like a tender bird, its slender neck, exactly like a snake’s, tightly clinging to the master’s cheek, no matter how hard she pushed, it didn’t want to leave.
"Yuck! Why does it smell like pee!"
Su Mei sniffed, sure enough, the strange smell came from the contracted spirit.
Her eyes grew even larger.
"You... Did you have diarrhea?"
In the end, Su Mei did not use the phrase "scared pee."
Although it was a wild beast, it didn’t need to save face, but the master did need some.
"Ah?" Suddenly, a hint of grey light passed by her eyes, and Su Mei shook like she’d been electrocuted, her shoulders trembling slightly.
After a silence that felt like an eternity, like a puppet without lubrication, she stiffly twisted her neck around.
"Master Han..."
"There seems to be some information in my head..."
Su Mei seemed uneasy, wanting to say something but unable.
Ye Hanjun exhaled, after granting the Key of the Grey Moon, indeed some new information appeared in both their minds.
After swiftly digesting this, despite having witnessed the terrifying phenomenon of the grey sun shining on the world, he was still excited.
Special authority!
It was actually a special authority!!
They had originally thought that the "disciple" mentioned in granting the Key of the Grey Moon was merely a special name, having symbolic meaning.
Even if it came with some magical effects, such as using the Key of the Grey Moon to enter the Gate of Life and Death, participating in the Death Challenge related training, there was no need to panic.
However...
The actual situation was more absurd than expected!
Ye Hanjun followed the guided manner and gave Su Mei the first key.
On the basis of her original F-level ’Knight’ authority, an additional authority of ’Disciple’ was added.
—It was simply too incredible!
"Special authority, Disciple."
"Passive ability, the hidden covenant."
"Without the approval of the Master, one is not allowed to reveal the connection between the Key of the Grey Moon and the Gate of Life and Death, nor reveal the information attached to the special authority..."
