I'm not just human!

When they saw the Celestial Compass, everyone was already quite happy. When they saw the two fruits, they were overjoyed.

"These don't seem to be ordinary extraordinary fruits. They're Kenshin Fruits, and there are two of them!"

Glenn spoke first, then immediately followed up:

"Gentlemen, I am willing to buy these two kempas at a price of five thousand gold pounds each!"

Kens Fruit is an extraordinary fruit that can greatly enhance the swordsmanship abilities of extraordinary individuals, making it far rarer and more precious than the Pea Fruit that the doll girl Benes dug up in the cave.

However, only those extraordinary individuals who have signed a swordsman's pact or a related high-level pact can use Kens Fruit.

No wonder Glenn was so excited; all his extraordinary strategies were based on the Weapon Emperor's Code and the Swordsman's Code.

Xia Fa also breathed a sigh of relief. He alone got two good items: the Advanced Contract of the Spirit Servant and the Star Spirit Compass, while his teammates got nothing, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Now, that unknown being resembling a heavily armored cavalryman has not only left the Protoss Compass at the exit, but also two extraordinary fruits worth five thousand gold pounds each!

In this way, the gold pounds can be divided equally among everyone, and the teammates won't have made a wasted trip.

"Xia Fa, it's perfect timing. Now that this high-risk ghost domain hasn't fully formed yet, go and contact the Star Spirit Compass."

Tyrene's voice suddenly rang out from his bloodshot eyes.

Yaxor, almost without giving up, immediately spoke through the vine-like head:

“Yes, Xia Fa, although the formation of a high-risk ghost domain is when the supernatural power is most chaotic, it is also when this ghost domain draws a large amount of mysterious energy from the Star Spirit Realm. If you contact the Star Spirit Compass now, the effect will be much better than outside!”

Xia Fa hadn't expected this to happen and immediately responded:

"Alright, thank you both for your guidance. I'll go right away."

As they watched him walk step by step toward the Star Spirit Compass, the crowd couldn't help but whisper their guesses.

"What level will Xia Fa's second secret contract be? A regular secret contract or a high-level secret contract?" Fensni asked.

“That’s easy. Once Xia Fa comes into contact with the Star Spirit Compass, we’ll know, won’t we?” Glenn said without hesitation.

“Yes, if it’s a regular secret contract, the Star Spirit Compass will directly teleport it to him and it will immediately appear in his hand. If it’s a high-level secret contract, it will turn into a piece of information and enter his mind,” Chestnut said with a smile.

At that moment, Lieutenant General Bedivet's voice came through the military telegraph machine. This demigod, at this moment, was quite confident in his judgment:

"It can only be a regular secret contract. If Xia Fa's second secret contract is also a high-level secret contract, then... to be honest, I'll just take him in as my personal guard and train him to be a general!"

With bloodshot eyes, Tyrene let out a cold snort:

"Bedvi, I just saved you yesterday, have you already forgotten?"

Lieutenant General Bedivet chuckled through the military telegraph machine:

"Didn't we already say that his second secret contract must also be a high-level secret contract? But that's very, very difficult."

Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, many extraordinary individuals, even those who have reached the Whale level and signed a total of six secret contracts, may very well all be ordinary secret contracts.

For many extraordinary individuals, choosing a high-level secret contract when signing their first secret contract is their only chance to sign such a contract in their lifetime. After that, their spiritual intuition will most likely only guide them to ordinary secret contracts.

"Why can't Xia Fa's second secret contract be a hegemon-level secret contract?" Chestnut asked with some curiosity.

The air fell silent for a long while before Axo chuckled:

"Chestnut, you're too naive. Do you know how small the probability is that the spiritual intuition of extraordinary individuals will guide them to a hegemon-level secret contract?"

He paused slightly, then said in a rather complicated tone:

"Let's put it this way: if Xia Fa signs a secret contract, or any secret contract he signs that is a hegemon-level secret contract, the head of our Augustus family will personally come to acknowledge him as a relative, regardless of whether he actually has the noble blood of our Augustus family!"

Lieutenant General Bedivet also remarked with a sigh:

"Yes, the Admiral will probably promote him to Rear Admiral and groom him as the next Admiral, and he will keep it a secret from the Army Marshal."

Tyrene didn't speak, but his bloodshot eyes seemed to shake as if he were shaking his head, clearly thinking that his granddaughter was a little too naive.

A supreme-level secret agreement? How could that be possible!

At this moment, Xia Fa finally walked up to the Star Spirit Compass.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous and curious, all wanting to know what level Xia Fa's next secret contract would be.

Is it a regular secret agreement or a high-level secret agreement?

Chapter 60 The Splendor of the Protoss Realm

The moment Xia Fa grasped the Star Spirit Compass with both hands, his mind went blank for a fleeting instant.

His dark eyes quickly turned deep purple, and then, an extremely dazzling and endless starry sky suddenly "exploded" before his eyes.

The tranquil, deep purple starry sky is magnificent, vast, and mysterious, seemingly without end.

Countless galaxies shone brilliantly within, stretching to the boundless horizon, twinkling like breaths, as if playing the grandest and most magnificent epic symphony.

Between galaxies, in the depths of space, countless figures emerged.

Some people are talking, some are fighting, and some are simply meditating.

These figures were illusory and unreal, yet they gave Xia Fa a feeling that he could reach out and touch them.

They seem to come from inhabited planets in those galaxies, or perhaps they have existed since time immemorial in this strange universe.

Then, an uncountable number of “spirits” appeared from the void.

There are extremely large star spirits, like planets or even stars, wandering among the planets, radiating an indescribable pressure.

There are mysterious spirits that are elusive, appearing in an instant and disappearing in a flash, sometimes even beyond the reach of the naked eye.

There are also lively and agile demons, sinister and terrifying evil spirits, and deep and mysterious spirits... These "spirits" are also densely packed, covering the starry sky as far as the eye can see.

The starry sky, galaxies, human figures, spirits… Xia Fa felt as if he had suddenly encountered an equally vast and unimaginable “world” outside of his own reality.

"Is this the Protoss Realm...?"

This was the first time he had ever witnessed the tip of the iceberg of the Protoss Realm from such a direct perspective.

The Celestial Spirit Realm is said to overlap with the real world and have countless connections to it.

What happens in the Protoss Realm may have some impact on the real world, and what happens in the real world may also cause a storm in the Protoss Realm.

For example, if the highest-ranking Protoss beings in the Protoss realm were to start fighting, there might be a volcanic eruption or a tsunami in the real world.

Similarly, if the angels and even the rulers of the real world get into battle, the Protoss Realm will also begin to stir and many "spirits" will go berserk as a result.

Of course, under normal circumstances, people in the real world and spirits in the astral realm do not interfere with each other, and it is difficult for them to freely travel between the real world and the astral realm.

Without the permission of the nine Great Gods, Outer Gods and their followers cannot approach the real world and can only wander in the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Only the nine true gods can stand simultaneously in the real world and the Protoss Realm, overlooking and ruling over everything in both worlds.

For some reason, Xia Fa thought of the high-level secret contract he had just acquired—the Servant of Spirit Control.

"Protoss... they all seem incredibly powerful. Their size alone is comparable to a planet. If only we could subdue them..."

Before he could think any further, suddenly, he saw that all the illusory figures and the spirits wandering in the Star Spirit Realm began to emit rays of light.

These rays of light contained countless images, which were originally scattering into the cosmos, but were about to gradually fade and disappear.

Immediately, Xia Fa saw wisps of light emanating from the Star Spirit Compass in his hand.

The light from the Star Spirit Compass shot out rapidly, flying towards the light in the cosmos. It paused briefly on each ray of light before immediately moving on to find the next ray.

The feeling Xia Fa got was like... searching!

That's right, he was searching for some kind of information, some kind of information that was extremely useful to him!

That was... the crucial clue regarding the supreme-level secret contract of the Silver Throne!

Xia Fa held the Star Spirit Compass and remained motionless, waiting for the search to be completed.

His mental body was currently in the Astral Realm, waiting for the Astral Compass to finish its search. Therefore, his body could not move and he could only wait quietly.

Fortunately, the body's various instinctive reactions are still present, so I can barely hear the sounds of the real world.

He could faintly hear the low voices of the three demigods talking through the secret treasure.

"The Star Spirit Compass... is being consumed rapidly, but it hasn't turned into a teleportation array. Xia Fa, that kid, his second secret contract is really a high-level secret contract?"

At that moment, Lieutenant General Bedivet's gruff voice, tinged with surprise and a hint of interest, rang out from the military telegraph machine:

“Terrean, we’ve been old friends for so many years, you know I’m short-handed lately…”

Tyrene's voice grew even colder:

"If I had known, I should have kept you trapped in that abandoned temple yesterday."

Lieutenant General Bedivet was somewhat helpless:

"Why do you bring this up all of a sudden? Sigh, after all these years, you're still the same stubborn person."

Yaxor chuckled, trying to smooth things over:

"No need, no need. It would be bad if you two demigods started arguing over my nephew."

There was finally a hint of weariness in Tyrene's voice:

"What nephew? Didn't you say before that Xia Fa was just an ignorant person who sought fame and fortune?"

Yaxor chuckled, completely unconcerned.

“I misspoke, I admit my mistake. Anyway, I’m willing to pay any price to find our noble bloodline of the Augustus family that has been lost.”

He suddenly changed the subject, saying:

"How long has it been? Why hasn't the Star Spirit Compass finished its search yet?"

Glenn had been listening to the conversation between the three demigods, and his voice suddenly trembled:

"Could it be... that Xia Fa's second secret contract is truly a hegemon-level secret contract?"

Tyrene sighed:

“I would like that, but it’s almost impossible. Under normal circumstances, the Star Spirit Compass would need more than an hour to search for a Hegemon-level secret contract. Only a minute has passed now.”

Axel chuckled and said:

"If it is truly a hegemonic-level secret contract, our Augustus family is willing to sell a portion of our family's assets to buy the corresponding secret contract for my nephew, whether it is the condition of eternity, the forge of all things, or even... the Silver Throne!"

Seeing that Xia Fa remained motionless, and realizing he would have to wait a while, Ethan mustered his courage and asked:

"My lords, which of these three overlord-level secret contracts is the strongest?"
