The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

"Song Hao, why are you paying so much attention to a freshman?"

A young man in black, who appeared to be his friend, walked over.

"Hehe, I think his clothes are no ordinary clothes. He might achieve outstanding results."

The slightly chubby young man named Song Hao smiled.

Why don't you say I look like your dad in this outfit?

"Get out of my way!"

Song Hao cursed at him, then his eyes darted around as he said to him, "How about we make a bet?"

"How do we gamble?"

The young man in black also became interested after hearing this, since no one can refuse a game they believe they can win easily.

"If he can reach the fifth level, you give me 10,000 spirit points; if he falls below the fifth level, I'll give you 10,000 spirit points."

Song Hao seemed to have great confidence in Lin Suzhou.

"Okay, but you can't go back on your word."

"I was afraid you'd change your mind."

After saying this with a smile, Song Hao invited the other senior students to join him.

……

At this moment, Lin Suzhou was unaware that someone had set up a betting scheme for him. After breaking through the spiritual energy membrane that distorted space, the spiritual value token at his waist began to glow faintly.

Five hundred spirit points were deducted, and the moment the spirit points were deducted, his figure disappeared into the lightning space.

"boom!"

As Lin Suzhou's vision shifted from bright to dark, he heard a deafening rumble of thunder.

Looking ahead, Lin Suzhou's eyes showed surprise.

What appeared before him was a vast space.

In this space, dark clouds gathered and covered the sky, and lightning converged within them. Thunderbolts, like silver pythons, tore through the sky and crashed down.

The entire space was filled with an extremely violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In such a place, even the originally gentle spiritual energy has been affected by the thunder and become volatile.

In this thunderous space, countless stone platforms floated in mid-air, their surfaces displaying a dark gold hue.

On each stone platform sat a figure, and every now and then, lightning would rip through the sky and strike the figure sitting on the platform.

Whenever the lightning struck, countless arcs of lightning would spread out from the dark gold stone platform, turning the entire platform into a dazzling silver light.

Lin Suzhou withdrew his gaze, summoned the mare, mounted her, and began to gallop upwards.

Soon, Lin Suzhou arrived at the fourth level of the Thunder Domain. The senior students on this stone platform all had cultivation levels above the Fusion Realm.

So Lin Suzhou sprinted again, and in a few more minutes, he reached the sixth floor.

On this level, the sky above Lin Suzhou's head was even more gloomy, with thunderclouds stretching almost to the horizon, and giant, python-like lightning piercing through the heavens and earth, like the end of the world.

But Lin Suzhou still refused to give up. This place was suitable for the late stage of the Fusion Realm, but not for him.

"Bang!"

Lin Suzhou only stopped when he broke through the Thunder River barrier leading to the seventh floor and reached the eighth floor.

The sky above the eighth floor wasn't dark at all; on the contrary, it was clear and sunny.

But on the ground, a silver river of lightning lava, hundreds of feet long, flowed slowly.

But the lightning did not strike the ground; instead, it spread out in mid-air, about ten feet above the ground, like a silver dragon wriggling.

This place is perfect for the little mare to condense the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, and she rode it to the depths of the eighth level.

Using the Nether Sparrow Spear, Lin Suzhou shattered the barriers of the eighth and ninth levels in succession, and actually arrived at the highest level of the Thunder Domain—the tenth level!

This layer is entirely dark black, and above it, an endless sea of ​​black lightning hangs.

Streams of black lightning-like water poured down, their deep rumbling echoing outwards, sending chills down his spine.

Looking around and searching his surroundings with his mind, he still couldn't find the Northern Sea Dragon Kun.

"Hey, looks like they've gone out."

Lin Suzhou sighed regretfully. It seemed he would have to come back another time.

As he flew down to the first level, a huge commotion was also caused on the massive stone platform outside the Thunder Domain.

……

"Song Hao, give up. There's been no movement for so long. I haven't even seen that person's name on the lowest level, the fourth floor. Just give me the 10,000 spirit points so I can go to the mission hall to accept the mission."

"Be patient, it hasn't been that long!"

Song Hao continued to stare at the Thunder Domain Stele. Although not much time had passed, his heart was slowly beginning to pound.

After all, there were over a hundred people participating in this bet, and they all believed that Lin Suzhou could not possibly reach the fifth level.

If they lose, he will have to give each person 10,000 spirit points, returning them to square one.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed on the Thunder Domain Stele, attracting everyone's attention.

Generally speaking, this phenomenon only occurs when there are significant changes to the Thunder Domain Stele.

Numerous questioning gazes were cast upon it, and the ball of silver light surged upwards at an astonishing speed.

Six hundred people...

Two hundred people...

Fifty people...

In the end, they surpassed Shen Cangsheng and others, and took the first place!

As the silver light faded, a line of dazzling characters was revealed.

"Lin Suzhou, tenth level of the Thunder Domain!"

"Splash splash."

The sound of the tremors swept across the stone platform like a tidal wave, leaving countless people dumbfounded.

"Haha, I won! I won!"

Song Hao jumped three feet in excitement and cheered on the spot, then collected the spirit points one by one.

"He actually did it!? And he did it on far more than just the fifth floor..."

"Who is this general? He is so fierce. Why have I never heard of him before?"

"Of course you haven't heard of him, he's a freshman! Just now, Song Hao even organized a betting game..."

The entire stone platform was abuzz with discussion; the senior students were so shocked they didn't know what to say.

If he truly rose through the ranks based on his own abilities, wouldn't that mean this new student is even stronger than Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong?!

But that's impossible... If they're stronger than them, why would they come to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy?

Even if you wanted to come, you could just become an elder of the academy...

The news of Lin Suzhou's ascent to the tenth level of the Thunder Domain spread like wildfire throughout the entire Spirit Academy, prompting countless senior students to engage in various speculations.

Some say he relied on a powerful magical artifact, others say he found a loophole in the Thunder Domain, and still others say he is the dean's long-lost illegitimate son...

But Lin Suzhou, the central figure in the discussion, was completely unaware of this. After arranging for the mare to do hard labor for him, he was in an exceptionally relaxed mood.

Once outside the Thunder Domain, Lin Suzhou stood on the stone platform again, and instantly felt all eyes on him.

"Haha, junior, you're my savior!"

Suddenly, the slightly chubby young man who had been explaining things to him earlier rushed towards him and opened his arms to him.

But Lin Suzhou stepped back slightly, causing him to miss his target.

"Sorry, junior, I got too excited."

Song Hao realized that Lin Suzhou didn't seem to like his enthusiasm, and slowly regained his composure.

"What's wrong, senior?"

"I just started a bet on whether you could reach the fifth level, with a stake of 10,000 spirit points. I ended up earning 1.2 million spirit points thanks to you!"

Song Hao took out his spirit value token, which showed a value of over 5.2 million.

This number made Lin Suzhou raise an eyebrow; he was only two million short of buying the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's essence blood...

"Hehe, but since you put in the effort, junior, I'll give you half of these 1.2 million spirit points."

"I can't accept this, senior."

Lin Suzhou said this, but still took out the spirit value token and handed it to him.

When the spirit value token touched his, it returned to Lin Suzhou's hand with an additional 600,000.

He now has 700,000 spirit points, a small step closer to 7 million.
