A rare magical miracle in the world

"Crack!"

Old Luwei pulled out the matched blade at his waist, then, with the sheath still on, he knocked on the floor: "What are you dawdling for? Kneel already! Don’t embarrass the Luwei Family, you disgraceful little brats!"

"Ghost Princess (Yellow Spring, Asura, Rakshasa, Yaksha), paying respects to King Yatun, we swear allegiance, vowing to follow even unto death!"

While the Lu Wei Family of five pledged their allegiance, Bailuo did not prevent it, as there was no reason to stick to the usual route when there were shortcuts available.

[You have gained their loyalty, yet this loyalty is not acknowledged by the Miracle Power.]

"Hmm?"

Bailuo read the message: "Not acknowledged by the Miracle Power? I see."

Indeed, the Ghost Princess and the others had truly pledged their loyalty to Bailuo, and despite their sincerity, it did not resonate with the Miracle Power within them.

In other words, what was lacking was a sense of ritual.

Find adventures on empire

Only through a perfect ritual could one truly gain the acknowledgment of the Miracle Power and thus complete the contract.

[????]

Type: ????

Level: Middle Tier

Allegiance (choose one): Lost Realm/Dawn and Dusk

[Time remaining: 58 minutes 22 seconds]

"The countdown is still going? Why?"

Bailuo, who had taken roughly three minutes to rush here, had moved swiftly without wasting much time, found the persisting countdown peculiar.

He had never encountered such a situation before. Normally, as long as one found the other party and completed the first task...

"The first task, does the loyalty need to be witnessed by the Miracle Power to be completed?"

[Please choose: Lost Realm]

Retainer ritual requirement: Without the use of Miracle Power, engage in one-on-one combat with the Lu Wei Family in succession, enduring their full onslaught without fighting back or dodging.

[Please choose: Dawn and Dusk]

Retainer ritual requirement: Without the use of Miracle Power, challenge all members of the Lu Wei Family and, within the remaining time, make them willingly accept defeat.

"Willingly accept defeat?"

Upon seeing those words, Bailuo mused: "It’s not just about defeating them, but making them willingly accept defeat, which opens up a lot of possibilities."

In just a moment, Bailuo had devised numerous strategies.

[Note: The Miracle is witnessing this ritual, and should you use the Miracle Power in battle, it will immediately count as a failure, and that particular Miracle will vanish forever.]

Choices, two factions, each with different tasks.

The task from the Lost Realm required Bailuo to fight the Lu Wei Family consecutively, that is, one at a time.

However, the requirement of this task was somewhat brutal, forbidding Bailuo from using Miracle Power.

The note below also made it clear that the Miracle on page nine would oversee like a subject observing its sovereign—whether you are worthy of my life’s allegiance.

"This is troublesome!"

There were many difficulties with this task.

First was the challenge of not counterattacking or dodging, which was quite difficult.

Second was the prohibition of using Miracle Power.

Beyond that, the biggest question for Bailuo was how to determine whether he had used Miracle Power. In other words, he had to consider every possible scenario.

He couldn’t risk reaching the middle of the fight only to have the Black Leather Book suddenly inform him of failure, and the reason for failure being a detail he had never considered.

"Which one should I choose?"

With accelerated thought, Bailuo shared all his ideas in an instant with his uncle and senior sister, who were at the heart of his strategic team.

This Miracle task was particularly challenging, and Bailuo knew he needed to be fully prepared before the battle.

"This Miracle won’t be easy to obtain."

In the Avalon Holy Pool, Bailuo opened his eyes and withdrew his thoughts from the Blood Moon Hunter: "Which should I choose?"

"Don’t choose the first one."

His senior sister said: "I believe in your strength, Xiao Luo, but the first option is too unpredictable."

"Time!"

Understanding his senior sister’s point, Bailuo replied: "They have six people. If they take turns, they might not finish all their moves in an hour."

"If they fight slowly, it wastes time; if they fight quickly, the Miracle might not acknowledge the so-called ’full range of moves.’"

So, while the first task line might appear simpler than the second, the variables were simply too many.

In contrast, making the Lu Wei Family willingly accept defeat depended solely on Bailuo. As long as he could win, the issue could be resolved within 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or even 1 minute.

"It’s one against six, and I’m not allowed to use Miracle Power."

"How do I fight them?"

Uncertain of the Lu Wei Family’s strength, Bailuo got a prompt response from his uncle: "Long Guixiang is very strong. Back in his youth, he was the main fighter in our team, and in pure combat, I was no match for him."

Long Guixiang, once a member of his uncle’s adventuring team and a professional fighter, possessed extraordinary strength.

"Not even at your peak?"

"Nope."

The uncle explained: "In terms of technique, he can’t compare to me, but the Lu Wei Family are Miracle Descendants, and the bloodline they inherited far surpasses our Yatun Clan."

This was an attribute suppression; the gap was so wide that it was no wonder the uncle couldn’t prevail.

"Though he has aged, having not seen him for over a decade, his swordsmanship has likely reached a pinnacle. You must be careful, Xiao Luo."

"Also."

The senior sister added: "Be wary of the woman carrying the Long Tachi."

"Hmm?"

Realizing she referred to the Ghost Princess, the senior sister said: "She’s like me, a student of our master, and she is very strong."

For the other members, neither the uncle nor the senior sister were familiar enough to provide insight to Bailuo.

Subsequently, Bailuo discussed tactics and points of attention further with them both. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I choose, Dawn and Dusk!"

Confident in his own abilities, Bailuo was no longer the mere mortal he once was; he was the King of Yatun, the Master of Miracles!
