I'm not just human!

She started chattering away. Xia Fa wanted to tell her that all her experiences were in that bronze notebook, but after thinking about it, he decided not to and let the doll girl continue her story.

It must be said that hearing Beneath's own account provides far more detail than reading her training notes, such as the environment of the Siren's Lake, the eeriness of the Spine Forest, and how terrifying Fenrir the wolf was... and so on.

"Finally, I gave it my all with one strike, and guess what? I killed Fenrir the wolf! Hehe."

The doll-like girl, her face beaming with pride, stood with her hands on her hips and continued:

"Am I amazing? You know, that wolf Fenrir is at least a supernatural creature of the insect level!"

Xia Fa also vaguely guessed the rank of the wolf Fenrir, after all, Benes killed Fenrir after breaking through to the insect level.

To be honest, the Stars Ascending Land of the Endless Realm is truly rich in resources; even a supernatural insect-level being can possess so many treasures.

What about even more powerful Eagle-level, Wolf-level, Elephant-level, and Whale-level?

Even... what about those with demigod or higher status?

Xia Fa didn't think much of it, because at that moment, the doll girl had already taken out a pile of glittering spoils and placed them on the table.

"Here you go, Xia Fa, it's all yours. Take it, don't be shy~"

Beneath waved her small hand generously, then looked around and sniffed intently with her delicate little nose:

"It smells so good! What's that smell?"

Xia Fa chuckled slightly, walked to the cupboard, opened the door, and took out the plate of extraordinary dried fish made from copper barracuda:

"Here, it's all yours, eat up, don't be shy with me."

Benedict's eyes lit up immediately. The superb dried fish made from copper barracuda was incredibly chewy and had a wonderfully dry aroma. She had been craving it ever since she rushed back.

"Xia Fa, you're so kind!"

She took the plate of the extraordinary dried fish, ran to the sofa, and began to enjoy eating them one by one.

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head, not knowing whether to say that Benedict was naive or too silly, being so easily satisfied.

Actually, he was worried that this plate of extraordinary dried fish might not be enough.

Thinking of the extraordinary dried fish, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

"Yeah, even if I don't need to eat food containing supernatural powers these two days, I can still randomly freeload and get a few plates of supernatural dried fish."

However, after glancing at Benedict as she slowly tore off a piece of fish meat from the bronze barracuda and savored it, Xia Fa understood that there was no need to look for more extraordinary dried fish today.

Then, his gaze shifted to the table.

The round dining table was now adorned with a dazzling array of gold.

Five secret contracts, a secret treasure, a sealed artifact, and a piece of gold and a piece of platinum-like extraordinary metal were piled up, dazzling the eyes.

The five secret contracts were mostly made of animal hides. Xia Fa only glanced at them and recognized three of the ordinary contracts as the Claw Contract, the Axeman Contract, and the Super Memory Contract.

Two high-level secret contracts, one of which is called Ancient Demon Blood, and it is something Xia Fa has never seen before—neither in the Book of Secret Contracts nor in the Secret Contract Statistics Catalog.

He was more familiar with the other advanced secret contract, which was the Titan's Might.

Titan Might is also a popular high-level contract, after all, many lower-level superhumans are keen to choose the Might contract. In some situations, such as fishing or hunting, or even when fighting with ordinary people, it is even more useful than the Controller contract.

In this case, the price of the high-level secret contract of Titan's Might would also be more than 10,000 gold pounds.

"Hmm... if we sell them all, we'll make at least 20,000 gold pounds..."

If it weren't for the fact that Extraordinary Dried Fish could be obtained through random free meals, Xia Fa would have even planned to use a portion of that income to order more Extraordinary Dried Fish for Beneath from the secret trading shop.

After all, all these spoils were thanks to her, and I felt a little uneasy taking them all by myself.

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa turned his gaze back to the secret treasure and the sealed artifact.

The treasure is a bracelet, and it's made of wood. The surface is brown, and the grain resembles that of pear wood.

Xia Fa didn't know what the treasure was for either, and planned to have it divined tomorrow when he had time.

Anyway, he already has the sealing artifact shaped like a horse-slaying sword, so he's not lacking in offensive treasures. If this bracelet is offensive, he can divine its function and then sell it at a suitable price. If it's defensive or supportive, he can decide whether to keep it or not later.

As for the sealed object, it was rather strange. It was a withered, grayish-black finger that didn't look human because it was exceptionally long, over thirty centimeters, more like that of a troll or a giant.

The sealed object was encased in wax, so when Benedict brought it back, it was as if she hadn't made any direct contact with it. Naturally, Sharfa didn't dare to touch it casually either, and planned to have it divined tomorrow as well.

After browsing through the spoils, Xia Fa's gaze finally settled on the two extraordinary pieces of metal.

He recognized the extraordinary metal that looked like gold; he had seen it at the extraordinary market that afternoon.

This is "ring of gold," specifically used to create illusionary ritual arrays. Such a large piece must be worth at least two thousand gold pounds!

But he didn't recognize the other piece of platinum, an extraordinary metal, at all, nor had he ever seen it at the Extraordinary Market.

"Luckily, I learned divination, otherwise, facing so many unknown things would really give me a headache..."

As he thought about it, Xia Fa walked over and with a wave of his hand, put everything except the finger-shaped seal into his bag.

As for the finger-shaped seal, he simply took it and placed it under his bed in his bedroom.

In any case, the sealed object was indeed sealed in wax. Moreover, he still had the horse-slaying sword. Under the suppression of the horse-slaying sword's rank, he was not afraid that the gray finger-shaped sealed object would cause trouble.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Benedict was enjoying her extraordinary dried fish downstairs. Shafa thought for a moment, and since he was already in the bedroom, he decided to use the remaining hours of the day to... understand the contents of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract!

He was filled with anticipation, wanting to see how far he could progress if he used all the extraordinary power he gained from dissolving the bee eggs within his body for comprehension...

And, is it possible to obtain another secret ability from the Silver Throne?

Chapter 105 Exploring the Overlord-Level Secret Contract

Lying in bed with her head resting on a soft pillow, Xia Fa slowly closed her eyes, imagining her heart and spirit transforming into a luminous sphere.

Perhaps because he was becoming more and more familiar with the process, he entered the hazy mental body in the blink of an eye this time.

His luminous sphere rose and quickly arrived at the boundary between his mental body and his astral body.

The Etheric Source Pact, which originally occupied the central position at the boundary, was now squeezed into a corner, looking rather pitiful.

At the center, a secret text, layered upon layered, seems to form a cryptic agreement within a complex space, dominating the area.

It is... a supreme-level secret contract, the Silver Throne!

Xia Fa also observed that although the Etheric Source Secret Contract was squeezed into a corner by the Silver Throne, it was actually slowly rotating around the Silver Throne, seemingly trying to please it.

This made Xia Fa chuckle to himself. The Overlord-level Secret Contract truly lived up to its reputation as the Overlord among Secret Contracts; it could actually do this.

But he didn't think much of it and focused his gaze on the layers of secret text on the Silver Throne.

It has to be said that just one glance gave him the feeling that the glowing sphere he had transformed into was about to collapse.

It's complicated, far too complicated.

He even suspected that if someone else signed a second secret contract like him, which was also a hegemon-level secret contract, but didn't have his method of accelerating understanding by dissolving bee eggs, wouldn't they be stuck for decades or even centuries?

After all, even for an ordinary extraordinary person with average talent, it would take several years just to understand a simple secret contract!

For example, there was that young man in the church named Hervery, the one who retrieved the files for him.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Xia Fa focused intently and began searching for the Chinese characters on this overlord-level secret contract, one by one!

This is his exclusive method for improving his understanding of the secret code; no one else can use it.

As he continued reading the secret texts one by one, Xia Fa was suddenly overjoyed. Sure enough, he found a Chinese character among the layers of secret texts.

It was the character "时" (time) that he had seen before in the Etheric Source Secret Contract.

"Could it be..."

Xia Fa's heart stirred. He had originally thought that he would see new Chinese characters, or even new poems or articles composed of new Chinese characters, on the overlord-level secret contract.

But now it seems that's not the case...

He immediately began browsing and searching, and soon found the second Chinese character, which was indeed the character “漏”.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

This took a lot of time, but hard work pays off. After reading through all the secret texts, which were a hundred times more numerous than those in the advanced secret contracts, Xia Fa composed a poem.

The same poem as the one in the Etheric Source Secret Pact.

"Shi Lou whispered advice to its paws."

"What appears in the sunlight is a huge, gray mountain range."

"Turning around majestically between heaven and earth."

"The scorching charcoal dried the eye sockets, and the red-hot iron coagulated the blood."

"A wailing heart, a gluttonous silence, a mocking lament."

This……

Xia Fa admitted that he was genuinely surprised.

The first time, it wasn't that he couldn't understand the poem, but rather that he didn't think carefully about its meaning and implications.

But now it seems that this poem is clearly describing a certain "being".

But the key point is... this is a secret agreement originating from the very source of the universe!

Why is it that both high-level secret contracts and overlord-level secret contracts have the exact same poems?

Moreover, these poems are even composed of Chinese characters?

If these poems truly record a certain "being," then how terrifying must this "being" be to be recorded and described by almost all secret texts?

If it weren't for the fact that the secret contract must be signed before its true content can be revealed at the boundary between the mental body and the astral body, Xia Fazhen would really like to use the other ordinary and advanced secret contracts he currently possesses to confirm them.

However, the secret text on the contract was not genuine, as it was not signed and did not even contain any Chinese characters.

Otherwise, he should have discovered it the first time he faced the ethereal secret code on that white bone fragment.

Recalling his previous experience of trying to write cryptic text in Chinese characters, Xia Fa stopped himself from further exploring the poem and the "existence" it might describe.

He was truly afraid that some unknown terror might suddenly descend upon him, in which case he would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, after finding all the Chinese characters on the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, Xia Fa clearly felt that his comprehension progress had reached one percent!

That's right, only one percent, and even Xia Fa was somewhat surprised that it could reach one percent.

After all, the number of secret texts in a hegemon-level secret contract is a hundred times that of a high-level secret contract!

When he was trying to understand the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source, his comprehension progress increased by 20% after identifying all the Chinese characters.
