I'm not just human!

"call……"

After gaining a general understanding of ordinary secret contracts, Xia Fa took a deep breath, becoming slightly nervous.

Because you'll soon know which advanced secret contracts you can choose!

He naturally intended to hand over the corrupted transcendent essence condensed by the snow demon to the Silver Church, and thus he could choose one of the church's five advanced secret contracts.

And this almost determined the extraordinary path he would take from then on!

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Xia Fa flipped to the page for the advanced secret contracts.

The names of five high-level secret contracts came into his view.

【Etheric Secret Source Pact】

The Lord of the Bees' Secret Pact

The Titan's Mighty Pact

[Secret Contract of the Weapon Emperor]

【The Secret Bond of the Blazing Sun】

To be honest, it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-level secret contract. The name itself sounds far more prestigious than ordinary secret contracts, and it sounds incredibly impressive.

No wonder the starting price is 10,000 gold pounds per sheet.

Xia Fa immediately began to learn about them one by one.

Their gazes first fell upon the Etheric Source Secret Contract, where the six bold characters detached from the paper and transformed into a densely packed introduction.

【Etheric Secret Source Pact】

[Ether, the essence of the elements. After signing the Ether Source Pact, extraordinary individuals will be able to use all the abilities of the seven elemental pacts—earth, water, wind, fire, lightning, ice, and metal—simultaneously, and the effects will be slightly enhanced.]

"this……!"

After reading just the first line, Xia Fa admitted that he was shocked.

Is this a high-level secret agreement?

This is so damn high-class!

Doesn't this one mean it's equivalent to seven ordinary secret contracts?

Of course, you can't make that comparison, but to be honest, ordinary secret contracts are simply incomparable to high-level secret contracts!

He became somewhat excited and continued looking at the second line.

Once an extraordinary individual signs the Ether Source Pact, they can only choose to use one of the seven elemental powers at a time when casting a spell. They cannot fuse elements, but they can switch between individual elements. Only as their understanding of the contents of this pact improves can they gradually begin to attempt to fuse elements.

This line was concise and to the point, and Xia Fa understood what it meant.

For example, at first he could only use one of the seven elements, either to create a gale or to set off a raging fire.

But as one gradually understands the contents of the Etheric Source Pact, one can combine any two elements, such as fire and wind, to create a fire tornado...

Further on, you can choose three elements to fuse, and so on.

That's incredibly comprehensive!

He sighed inwardly once again, realizing that compared to high-level secret contracts, ordinary secret contracts were really too poor value for money...

Fortunately, I have the right to choose a high-level secret contract!

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa continued browsing.

When a transcendent being who has signed the Aether Source Pact reaches the demigod level, they will be able to fuse the seven elements and recreate the power of the Aether! They will then master even more powerful transcendent abilities related to the Aether...

The following content was more advanced, and Xia Fa only understood a fraction of it.

However, we did obtain new intelligence.

That is, fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, whales... After whale level, comes demigod level!

Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon this information—information that ordinary people shouldn't have access to—in the Book of Secrets.

What comes after demigod level?

He was a little curious.

"To reach the demigod level and still be able to fuse seven elements to reproduce the power of ether? The strength of this Aether Source Pact is truly beyond the realm of possibility..."

To be honest, Xia Fa was already somewhat tempted.

However, as the saying goes, compare prices from three different vendors, so he decided to look at the other four types of advanced secret contracts first.

With that thought in mind, Xia Fa's gaze shifted to the [Lord of the Swarm's Secret Contract].

A large text also appeared, but it was slightly shorter than the Etheric Source Secret Contract.

However, his pupils suddenly contracted as soon as he saw the first line.

"Something's not right, this ability..."

Chapter 25 A Demigod Arrives!

This morning, I experienced a sudden, unexplained sharp pain in my lower back.

Then, I saw information related to the entity of the Poison Patriarch Veronica.

This resulted in Xia Fa having a very deep impression of the rule that the Chief of All Poisons implanted bee eggs in people.

And now, the first paragraph that appears in this [Lord of the Hive's Secret Contract] is...

After signing the secret pact with the Lord of the Bees, the extraordinary individual first needs to find a supernatural creature, preferably a docile supernatural creature that has mutated from domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, or pigs. They then implant insect eggs inside the creature and wait for the venomous bees to hatch…

"The Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons... could he be a superhuman who lost control after signing the secret pact with the Lord of the Swarm?"

Xia Fa had this suspicion in mind, but felt that something was not right.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Chestnut noticed the strangeness in his expression and couldn't help but say:

"Xia Fa, what's wrong?"

Xia Fa realized it was a good opportunity to ask this book-loving rat girl, so he spoke up:

"Do you remember that entity called the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons? It had a secret pact with this Lord of the Swarm..."

Chestnut smiled:

"This hypothesis was proposed by scholars when the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons first appeared, but it was quickly refuted."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"why?"

Chestnut explained in detail:

"Because, even if the superhumans who have signed the secret pact with the Lord of the Swarm lose control a second or even a third time, their strength is far less than that of the Poison Chieftain. Moreover, when they lose control, they usually turn into the shape of giant insect eggs, rather than the near-perfect creature appearance of the Poison Chieftain."

After a slight pause, she added:

"Although entities are classified as the supernatural, the truth is that how entities came into being and why they are so powerful has always been a topic of endless debate in the field of supernatural studies. No one knows the truth, and no one has ever witnessed the birth of an entity."

Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully.

But after hearing this explanation, I felt that the physical entity was even more mysterious and terrifying...

He could only pray that the stinging pain in his lower back was from a mosquito bite, and that it wasn't from the poisonous chieftain planting bee eggs.

Physical objects are far more dangerous than the bizarre and eerie...

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa continued browsing the information about the Lord of the Bees' secret covenant.

He finished reading it quickly, but shook his head.

It's not that the Lord of the Bees' Secret Contract isn't powerful enough. In fact, this advanced secret contract is also very strong. It can cultivate a large army of bees by continuously planting insect eggs on supernatural creatures and hatching them into venomous bees.

This is also the origin of the name of this high-level secret contract.

However, this also means that the superhumans who signed this high-level secret agreement must always carry an army of venomous bees to unleash their maximum combat power, which is quite inconvenient.

Because each of these venomous wasps is almost half the height of a person, unlike ordinary wasps.

Moreover, they have to feed the army of venomous bees with the flesh of supernatural creatures every day.

All I can say is that this high-level secret code is perfect for the military, but as an ordinary person, he simply can't afford to maintain it; it's just too much trouble...

After mentally dismissing the Lord of the Swarm's covenant, Xia Fa continued to look at the remaining three covenants.

First is the [Titanic Might Pact].

This advanced secret contract allows extraordinary individuals to transform into Titans, starting at ten meters tall, with thick skin and flesh so tough that even cannons cannot penetrate them.

It can also grant superhumans astonishing strength, greatly enhance their recovery ability, and make them more physically robust than warhorses.

It gives Xia Fa the feeling of an upgraded version that combines the Great Strength Secret, the Restoration Secret, and other secrets.

But he didn't really like it. After all, this was a supernatural world full of bizarre methods. To be a human tank? To try to blast enemies with your fists? You wouldn't even know how you died.

As for the [Weapon Emperor's Secret Contract], that's really interesting. It allows extraordinary individuals to control hundreds of weapons, and each weapon can unleash either fierce or cunning killing moves, or acquire the identity of the corresponding weapon.

For example, if you hold a sword, you become a swordsman; if you hold a dagger and poison, you automatically acquire the experience and methods of being an assassin.

Compared to the Weapon Emperor's Contract, the ordinary contracts such as the Axeman Contract, Swordsman Contract, and Assassin Contract are completely lacking in cost-effectiveness.

But Xia Fa certainly couldn't choose this high-level secret contract either; as I said before, it wasn't comprehensive enough or bizarre enough.

Finally, Xia Fa's gaze fell upon the [Radiant Solar Contract].

This is also the last high-level secret contract that the Silver Church can provide.

【The Secret Bond of the Blazing Sun】

[After signing this high-level secret agreement, the blood of extraordinary individuals will turn golden, greatly reducing the probability of being afflicted by strange entities.]

Under sunlight, the combat power of superhumans is greatly enhanced, while in the dark they can actively emit light to dispel vengeful spirits or evil spirits.

[Those with extraordinary abilities can also summon pillars of blazing sunlight from the sky to strike any target within their line of sight...]

Xia Fa carefully read through the entire introduction. To be honest, if it weren't for the Ether Source Pact, he would have chosen the Blazing Sun Radiance Pact.

However, in terms of attack methods, survival strategies, and the richness of abilities, the Etheric Source Secret Contract is far superior to the Blazing Sun Radiance Secret Contract.
