The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Everything before this was to prepare this group of elite young men and women for the harsh realities of the Spirit Path.

Only this final spiritual path is the true test, where all the powerful, fortunate, and determined young people gather to compete in the final showdown.

Only a handful of people are able to obtain the King-level assessment and receive the Spiritual Path Initiation, making the elimination rate even more astonishing.

"Whoosh whoosh."

After crossing the portal, Lin Suzhou arrived at a forest path filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and lush greenery.

The final spiritual path stretched out endlessly, feeling closer to nature and teeming with life than the previous two places.

However, there was still no spiritual energy here. According to the blood-red token, one only needed to head south to reach the destination.

However, the Spirit Road eventually contains not only a large number of high-level spirit beasts, but also spirit beasts ranked on the Earth Ranking!

Beneath the beautiful surface of mountains and clear waters, countless dangers lurk.

Lin Suzhou first used the position of the sun to determine the south, and then suddenly came up with an idea.

"Luo Li?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Luo Li, who was sitting in front, heard his call and turned her head to look at him in confusion.

"Why don't we hunt spirit beasts here first and break through to the fourth level of spirit body?"

Lin Suzhou stroked the girl's delicate face and made this suggestion.

"That works too. After all, there are many dangers ahead, and upgrading to a level four spirit body will help us better overcome them."

Luo Li nodded.

She still remembers that not long ago, if Lin Suzhou hadn't advanced to the third level of spiritual body in the wild, the two of them might have died at the hands of Yang Hong and others, becoming a pair of doomed lovers.

"Very well, then let me experience the spirit beasts of this final spiritual path!"

Lin Suzhou took out the Shouluo Sword, which was blazing with flames, and with a light kick to the belly of the mare, he transformed into a white streak of light and headed into the depths of the forest.

After spending another half month leveling up and fighting monsters, Lin Suzhou successfully stepped into the realm of a fourth-level spirit body!

Unfortunately, Luo Li is still missing the essence of a few high-level spirit beasts.

When he broke through to the fourth level of spiritual body, Lin Suzhou thought he was going to die here. The pain of tormenting his physical body almost made him grind his teeth to pieces.

Lin Suzhou only remembers closing his eyes in a daze and fainting from the pain. When he woke up again, he felt full of energy.

With a light punch, he blasted a piece of blue granite weighing several hundred pounds into dust.

However, after leaving the Spirit Path, his physical body, which he had finally achieved some success with, was taken back.

He was determined to receive the spiritual empowerment so that his efforts would not be in vain!

Next, Lin Suzhou led Luo Li south, and the speed of Luo Ling Tianma was astonishing.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they crossed layers of mountains, left the mountainous region, and arrived at a wide plain.

"Ji Xuan! If you're so capable, then come and chase me!"

Suddenly, a boy's shout came from afar, causing Lin Suzhou to stop the mare.

"What's wrong, Su Zhou? Do you know the owner of that voice?"

Luo Li, who was in front, almost flew out of the way, and pouted, looking quite dissatisfied.

"Yes, the owner of that voice is my friend."

"Are you going to help?"

"No, I'm going to kill Ji Xuan!"

Lin Suzhou patted Luo Li's head, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Ji Xuan had sent people to intercept him time and time again. Now that he had reached the level of a fourth-level spirit body, he had to get his revenge!

Fortunately, when Ji Xuan was guarding the land, he did not, like other traditional villains, immediately send out all his forces to pursue him.

This gave Lin Suzhou the opportunity to develop.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Everyone here is only in their teens, so their cunning is still too immature.

Then Lin Suzhou turned his horse around and galloped towards his left.

But after running a few hundred meters, Lin Suzhou noticed a man and a woman running in their direction. They stopped and came to stand in front of them.

"Do you know Mu Chen? Where is he now?"

Lin Suzhou was the first to ask the question.

"Mu Chen lured Ji Xuan and the others into the deep mountains to cover us."

A burly young man carrying a spiked club pointed to the mountains behind him and said quickly.

"Young master, could you lend Brother Mu a hand? I'll give you a satisfactory reward, whether it's a spiritual technique or a spiritual weapon..."

The fair-skinned, bright-eyed girl in the white dress next to Lin Suzhou suddenly pleaded with him.

"My enemy is also Ji Xuan. I don't need your reward; I will still attack Ji Xuan!"

Lin Suzhou gripped the Shouluo Sword tightly in his right hand and sped towards the mountains.

Although they were on the road, Lin Suzhou deliberately made the mare slow down.

If he remembered correctly, Mu Chen was currently plotting a bloodbath against Ji Xuan.

Once Mu Chen causes another bloodbath, even if he kills Ji Xuan and the others, that old codger Tian Sheng won't target him too much.

Moreover, Ji Xuan's strength was weakened by that golden-armored dragon-tiger beast, which made it more advantageous for him to make a move.

Looking in the direction Lin Suzhou had left, the girl in the white dress gritted her teeth and walked towards the mountain again.

"Yuqing, Mu Chen asked me to cover your escape in order to protect you, so you can't be willful at a time like this."

The burly young man hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Zhan Xiong, I know what I'm doing. The white horse that man was riding was a high-level spirit beast. It certainly wasn't afraid of Ji Xuan. I have to go and check it out."

The girl in the white dress, gazing at the burly young man, said, "You and Mu Chen are brothers. Are you just going to stand by and watch Mu Chen get surrounded and killed?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiong's dark face showed shame, then a glint of light appeared in his eyes, and he agreed, "Alright, I'll go with you!"

……

In a deep, ancient forest, a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, and a resolute gaze, was heading towards the highest mountain in the distance.

He would occasionally look back to see if the dozens of figures behind him were keeping up.

Ji Xuan and the others behind him seemed to realize that he was brewing some kind of conspiracy, and hesitantly stopped in their tracks.

"Ji Xuan, the territory ahead belongs to the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast, a spirit beast ranked on the Earth Ranking. We must be careful."

Seeing Mu Chen glance back at them again, a man in red robes beside Ji Xuan grabbed him and reminded him.

But when Mu Chen saw the pursuers behind him stop, he began to mock, "What? Ji Xuan, weren't you coming to kill me? Why are you afraid to come any closer now?"

But Ji Xuan was not a reckless person. Although he wanted to kill Mu Chen, he did not continue the pursuit and waited for the main force behind him to arrive.

Seeing that Ji Xuan wasn't falling for it, Mu Chen shut his mouth, crossed his arms, and looked confident, as if he could easily defeat them.

Before long, more than forty people arrived behind Ji Xuan, bringing the total to more than eighty.

Not only Mu Chen, but even Lin Suzhou, who was on his way, was curious about Ji Xuan's methods of winning people's hearts.

"Is everyone here? Then hurry up, or I'm going to run away."

Mu Chen leaned against the stone wall, his eyes full of mockery.

"All of you, get up here!"

Ji Xuan, who was usually handsome and extremely elegant, now revealed his true nature of being a hypocrite. Unable to tolerate it any longer, he rushed forward first.

Mu Chen laughed heartily and continued his ascent towards the summit.

While they were chasing each other, in a grand hall outside the Spirit Road, five extraordinary-looking, powerful figures of different ages were watching the water curtain in front of them.

These five people are the five deans of the five major academies.

At this moment, a scene of Ji Xuan leading his men to chase Mu Chen appeared on the water screen, and they were discussing it.

"What is Mu Chen trying to do?"

An elderly man with a white beard and a blue robe looked quite otherworldly.

"Dean Tiansong, didn't you see that little guy leading Ji Xuan and the others towards the territory of the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast?"

A slender, middle-aged woman spoke softly.

"Tang Qiu, your Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy only accepts female students. Let's leave Mu Chen to our Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

A middle-aged man in white laughed heartily, seemingly admiring Mu Chen.

"The Golden-Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast is ranked on the Earthly Ranking, making it one of the top high-level spirit beasts. If this person leads Ji Xuan and the others there, who will be responsible if something happens?"

Another elderly man, who looked somewhat arrogant, stood with his hands behind his back, appearing extremely haughty.

"Dean Tiansheng, don't think we don't know. Ji Xuan is a student you've already designated for your Holy Spirit Academy. You've already broken the rules, and now you're going to interfere and protect him?"

Another old man, who was rather short but had a fiery temper, shouted angrily.

"Nonsense."

Dean Tiansheng snorted coldly, glanced at the Martial King of the Martial Spirit Academy, and said nothing more.
