When Ling Zhan heard Mr. Meng Zhang's concise explanation.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly:
Damn system!
It was because of the system that Ling Zhan became the so-called 'Destined One'!
But at the same time...
He developed a deep sense of dread towards the legendary Grandmaster Zhao Gongming.
Simply because Zhao Gongming could deduce the trajectory of the system's rewards through divination!
In Ling Zhan's eyes, this system's status should be akin to that of the world's deities. After all, the system could obtain an eternal-grade elixir like the Ten Thousand Demons Realm-Breaking Pill, which humans could never acquire.
Yet Zhao Gongming could deduce the three 'Beast God Realm-Breaking Pills' he received after completing a mission!
Although he still didn't know what these three pills did, their name implied they were divine pills that could significantly enhance a beast's bloodline power!
Does this mean Zhao Gongming might also discover that he has a system?
Thinking of this.
Ling Zhan fell silent.
No wonder it's a unique and powerful profession in the Dragon Kingdom.
A fourth-tier Grandmaster is truly terrifying.
Of course.
He roughly understood why the five deans suddenly disregarded his opinion and insisted on him signing a contract with the three divine beast offspring.
Humanity had long suffered the disaster of the forbidden land!
It was like a sword constantly hanging over humanity's head.
It could fall at any moment.
So, if there was any chance of creating an existence capable of single-handedly contending with a Red-Named Lord of the Demon Cave, humanity would spare no effort to make it happen.
Understanding these reasons.
The resentment and dissatisfaction he felt toward the five deans for their coercive behavior began to dissipate.
With a sigh.
Ling Zhan turned to the five deans and asked, "Does it have to be them?"
The five deans nodded awkwardly.
With the affirmative answer.
Ling Zhan shook his head and looked at Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, speaking very seriously: "Mr. Meng Zhang, I can sign a contract with them, but I have conditions!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Boom!!
The crowd erupted again!
"Ling Zhan, you bastard! Don't push your luck!"
"I can't believe it! A divine beast is willing to sign a contract with him, and he's still reluctant, even wanting to set conditions!"
"Typical case of getting something good and still complaining!"
"Hahaha! He's setting himself up for failure! These three divine beast offspring are even more prideful than princesses. With his conditions, they definitely won't want to sign a contract with him!"
...
The surrounding students were naturally unaware of the intricacies of the situation.
But instinctively, they didn't want to see Ling Zhan succeed in signing a contract with the three noble divine beast offspring.
It's like in a game when you pull all junk from the gacha, and the person next to you gets a miracle on their first try.
You just can't help but curse them.
However...
The next scene made all the students so jealous they wanted to bite their fingers!
The proud and valiant Yun Man tucked her crimson hair behind her ear, revealing a gentle smile that was never seen on her face.
She nodded and softly said, "Conditions? Just say them, I'll agree to anything."
Even Chang Yue and Meng Shuang nodded slowly, indicating that they were open to hearing any conditions.
Everyone: "..."
This is insane!
Why him?
Is it just because he's handsome?
...
On the other side.
Ling Zhan was already too lazy to bother with the noisy, boiling audience.
He didn't have any deep hatred for these three divine beast offspring in front of him.
He simply couldn't stand the inherent arrogance of their divine beast parents.
But thinking from another perspective...
If Ling Zhan had a daughter in the future, and his daughter was eyed by a pig, he would also sharpen his knife for the pig.
At this moment.
Ling Zhan began to state his conditions.
"First, once the contract is signed, we are allies in battle. So, put away your annoying arrogance."
"Second, in battle, my commands are absolute. Of course, if you are stronger than me, I can listen to you."
"Third, in daily life, please respect each other's privacy and do not interfere with each other's lives."
"These are the three provisional rules."
"If you cannot agree, even if the contract is forcibly signed, I will find a way to break it later."
When Ling Zhan stated these three conditions.
The three divine beast offspring exchanged glances.
Then they slowly nodded, indicating their agreement.
These three conditions were very fair.
With the conditions set.
There was no need for further delay.
The three divine beast offspring and Ling Zhan quickly completed the contract ceremony.
When Ling Zhan's essence blood fully merged with the three drops of divine beast essence blood.
A mystical connection formed between Ling Zhan and the three divine beast offspring.
This would make their coordination in battle more seamless.
Moreover...
Some combat instincts would also be shared between their minds.
With the contract completed.
The five deans and Azure Dragon Meng Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
But He Chuan's expression at this moment was extremely complicated.
He was still eager to have an intense and satisfying sparring match with Ling Zhan!
But now the other side suddenly had the assistance of three divine beasts!
And their strength and rankings were all higher than his own Beidi Jiuying!
How could he possibly compete?
The students in the audience were gnashing their teeth.
If the divine beast offspring all signed contracts with this bastard, what would be left for them?
Their original admiration and respect for Ling Zhan instantly turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Damn those lucky people!
Even after the contract was signed.
Ling Zhan still didn't show any gentle expression towards the three divine beast offspring.
He turned to look at the now colorful-faced He Chuan and said calmly:
"Senior He Chuan, I know you're still unconvinced, and I know you're wary of the three divine beasts behind me."
"So if you want to continue the fight, I can guarantee that I won't let the divine beasts join!"
"As for you..."
"You can bring Beidi Jiuying, or even all your followers, if you wish!"
It's on!
Once again, that familiar arrogance appeared on Ling Zhan's face!
"Fine! Let's fight fairly without the divine beasts!"
He Chuan responded fiercely.
Being looked down upon like this, he couldn't possibly back down.
Moreover, with so many people watching, if he refused, wouldn't that make him a coward?
This was no longer about the spot!
It was about his dignity!
The originally interrupted main event was now set to resume!
Yun Man, Chang Yue, and Meng Shuang sensibly stepped off the arena.
They too wanted to witness the formidable power of this non-specialist from the sidelines.
Meng Zhang and the five deans also returned to the audience, watching with keen interest.
The audience's jealousy and envy were quickly replaced by the excitement and passion of watching the fight!
"Go, Senior He Chuan! Beat that bastard Ling Zhan!"
"Yeah! Beat Ling Zhan!"
"Senior He Chuan, uphold justice!"
"…"
Perhaps because Ling Zhan had just contracted with three divine beasts, igniting the jealousy of the audience.
Most of the spectators who originally supported Ling Zhan, hoping he would create miracles, now turned against him and supported the seemingly stronger He Chuan.
