I'm not just human!

"Only when we have complete control can we sign the next secret agreement; otherwise, it is very easy to lose control."

As Xia Fa listened, he suddenly asked:

"If that's the case, then wouldn't it mean we can freely choose the combination of our secret contracts?"

Governor Ellis chuckled beside him and said:

"How could that be? In fact, you can only freely choose the first secret contract. Once you sign the first secret contract and become a transcendent, your spiritual intuition will automatically tell you the name of the second secret contract, and so on."

Xia Fa asked with considerable curiosity:

"What if you don't follow your spiritual intuition and insist on choosing another secret method?"

Governor Ellis said almost without hesitation:

“Countless stubborn people throughout history have tried to change their spiritual intuition to a higher or even a supreme level secret contract because they were dissatisfied with the ordinary secret contract that their spiritual intuition was guiding them to. Without exception, they all lost control. In fact, some of the strange things that roam the world are the result of this.”

"All right……"

Xia Fa let out a soft breath.

He roughly sorted it out in his mind.

By signing a secret pact, one can become an extraordinary being.

Then, spiritual intuition will help the extraordinary person choose the next secret contract.

However, to his surprise, the secret contract only contained a portion of the extraordinary power, and the extraordinary individuals still needed to find ways to obtain it from other places on their own.

Drawing upon extraordinary power and gradually understanding the contents of the secret text is equivalent to cultivation.

No wonder those nobles always ate feasts cooked by supernatural creatures; it turns out that's why...

Thinking this, he looked at the chestnut:

"So what kinds of secret contracts can I choose? Oh right, and also, I don't need to exercise anymore?"

Chestnut said earnestly:

"Since you are a descendant of the Baal Beast, signing the first secret contract should be no problem, and you should be able to withstand the infusion of supernatural power. But after becoming a superhuman, you still need to continue to train your body, otherwise you may not be able to withstand the second or third secret contract due to your weak body."

Xia Fa was pleasantly surprised to hear this.

Although I still need to continue exercising, becoming a superhuman at least gives me the ability to protect myself!

For example, today, if he hadn't happened to be outside the church and Baal's Blade hadn't responded to him, he might have been eaten by the Snow Demon.

He had a premonition that the burning sensation within him was useless if it just appeared; it would only remain trapped inside his body and could not be converted into combat power.

It must be performed through something like Baal's Blade, or some other extraordinary means.

Once unleashed, its power will far exceed expectations!

Without a doubt, becoming a superhuman grants one access to a variety of extraordinary abilities.

Chestnut continued:

"There are a thousand kinds of secret contracts in this world. These are divine pronouncements made by the God of the First Church [First History] and clearly recorded in the scriptures. However, at present, the extraordinary beings have only discovered more than two hundred kinds of secret contracts."

She suddenly flipped her hand, revealing a thick book, which she handed to Xia Fa, smiling as she said:

"As for the secrets that our church can currently provide, they are all contained here."

A thousand secret contracts... only two hundred have been discovered...

Xia Fa suddenly became curious: if the extraordinary levels were classified according to fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, and whales, would signing a secret contract elevate one level?

Without much thought, he opened the book titled "The Book of Secrets".

After all, he was about to choose a high-level contract, so he was very curious about what high-level contracts the Silver Church offered.

But after just one glance, Xia Fa's pupils suddenly contracted.

"this……!"

Chapter 24 Choice: The First Secret Contract!

The first page of the Book of Secrets was actually a search index.

But Xia Fa noticed something strange at first glance.

The Silver Church can provide more than seventy kinds of common secret contracts.

There are only five types of advanced secret contracts.

There wasn't a single one of the supreme-level secret contracts!

Actually, he had really wanted to see what kinds of secret contracts could be called "overlord-level" and just how powerful they were.

In this world, extraordinary individuals become extraordinary only by signing a secret pact.

The secret code is both the foundation of extraordinary individuals and the source of their power.

Therefore, Xia Fa was filled with curiosity about the overlord-level beings in the Secret Contract.

Unfortunately, this book contains absolutely no information related to the overlord-level secret contracts.

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why.

High-level secret contracts cost 10,000 gold pounds each, and they are often hard to find even when they are available. By extension, one can imagine how rare and confidential the hegemon-level secret contracts are.

It's likely that only those who become high-ranking members of the church will have access to the supreme-level secret covenant.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Xia Fa, filled with curiosity, turned the delicate white pages of the book.

The first page clearly stated:

【Ordinary secret contract】

【Element Class】

The Secret Pact of the Earth, The Secret Pact of the Water, The Secret Pact of the Wind

[The Pact of Fire] [The Pact of Thunder] [The Pact of Ice]

【Secret Contract of Gold】

"Are there only seven types of elemental contracts?"

Xia Fa murmured to himself, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the line about the Fire Code.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The words "Secret Pact of Fire" in bold letters moved, detaching from the white pages and floating up!

Immediately, it unfolded into lines of text in the air.

The Secret Pact of Fire

[One of the Seven Elemental Pacts. After signing, the extraordinary individual will gain a preliminary ability to control the fire element, enabling them to cast spells such as fireballs and firebirds, heat the surface or interior of objects, and even attach flames to weapons...]

Xia Fa glanced through it and found that after signing the Fire Pact, the abilities that extraordinary individuals could possess were far more numerous than he had imagined.

But what surprised him even more was the book's convenience.

If you focus your gaze on the name of a particular secret code, an introduction will automatically appear.

To be honest, this was truly the first time he had experienced the convenience of the extraordinary world.

Moreover, judging from the expressions of the other people around, they didn't seem particularly surprised.

At this moment, Governor Ellis was contacting his superiors via coded message to report on the situation of this extraordinary event.

Archbishop Glenn sat lazily on a bench in the square outside the church, and for some reason did not leave immediately.

As for Chestnut, the rat girl stood smiling to the side, patiently waiting for Xia Fa to finish reading the Book of Secrets.

Xia Fa refocused his attention and turned to the second page.

It reads:

[Specialization Category]

[Great Strength Pact] [Super Speed ​​Pact] [Super Senses Pact]

[Hypermeation Contract] [Gluttony Contract] [Restoration Contract]

[To be collected...]

To be honest, the secret agreement on this page was quite interesting. Xia Fa focused his attention on each page and studied it carefully.

As the title in the header states, all the ordinary secret contracts on this page are "specialized" abilities of extraordinary individuals.

For example, the Mighty Might can grant superhumans strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, allowing them to easily stop a charging bull with their bare hands and lift a bison with ease.

Similarly, the Speed ​​Secret grants superhumans extremely high speed, agility, and reaction time, even enabling them to dodge flintlock bullets.

The Recovery Secret greatly enhances regenerative abilities, allowing even superhumans to heal quickly if their bodies are split open.

The Hypermemory Secret is an extremely exaggerated enhancement of memory, allowing one to easily memorize the entire contents of a book without missing a single word.

The Extrasensory Affinity greatly enhances the perception of the five senses. According to the description, it can even allow one to hear whispers and see things that should not be seen, so the church does not highly recommend it.

As for this Gluttony Pact, it actually increases the appetite of superhumans by a huge margin, as does their digestive ability, and makes it less likely for them to gain weight.

According to the same book, in this peaceful era, many young ladies from noble families often signed this gluttony pact as their first contract.

Because this way, you can eat and drink whatever you want without worrying about gaining weight...

"If this Gluttony Pact were in my past life, it would have sold out in no time..."

Xia Fa chuckled to himself and continued turning to the next few pages.

Among them were [Superpower Type] [Shapeshifter Contract], [Controller Contract], [Lucky Guy Contract], and so on.

There are also [profession-related] contracts such as [Merchant's Contract], [Poison Master's Contract], and [Swordsman's Contract].

There are also variant types such as Tentacle Contract, Fang Contract, and Claw Contract.

To be honest, after looking around, Xia Fa really felt like his eyes had been opened.

For example, a professional merchant's contract, once signed, can increase the chances of a superhuman persuading others to make a deal, and may even increase their luck in finding good products.

The Tentacle Secrets feature octopus-like tentacles that grow directly from the sides of the body, complete with suckers.

However, due to its extreme evil and high rate of loss of control, the church also does not recommend it.
