Chapter 86 A Special Welcome Competition
Wang Liting scoffed at Mo Fan's words, saying, "I knew you were a good-for-nothing all along."
"Where are the summoners? Are they all dead? Why aren't they showing up?"
"Are you so scared that you don't dare to come over? Hahaha."
Hearing the mockery from the other departments opposite them, Wang Liting was quite displeased. He glanced at the short, thin youth and said sternly, "Go!"
The other members of the Summoning Department didn't stop him. They almost wanted the short, thin youth to test the waters. After all, Wang Liting was right; every person they eliminated would reduce the number of people competing with them for the Blood of the Beast.
The short, thin young man had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk to the center of the arena. Looking at the dozen or so students opposite him, his legs couldn't help but tremble.
However, he suppressed his fear and put his hands together. A moon-white star trail appeared on the ground in front of the short, thin youth. After the moon-white light passed, a ghost wolf beast appeared on the ground. Well, it was relatively small, about the same size as Xue Ling (it hadn't grown bigger).
Upon seeing that it was a juvenile Ghost Wolf Beast, the group of people on the other side, who had been tense, burst out laughing instantly.
"Hahaha, what is this thing?"
"Your summoned beast must still be nursing, right?"
After laughing, one of the Shadow-type students said, "Let me play with this little beast." After saying that, the Shadow-type boy flashed to the front of the little ghost wolf beast and used his Shadow Step ability to toy with it.
After being eliminated, the short, thin youth walked back dejectedly and whispered, "I'm sorry, I... I will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future, and I will never let you down again."
Zheng Bingxiao patted the short, thin young man on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, we'll make up for it as much as possible. Now it's my turn to go on stage."
Seeing Zheng Bingxiao about to enter the arena, the opposing team started discussing, with someone asking, "What's his summoned beast?"
"I don't know, didn't that kid summon a little puppy? I guess his summoned beast can't be that powerful..." The boy's face filled with terror before he could finish speaking.
Zheng Bingxiao ignored the taunts from the other side and summoned her Rock Demon in the center of the arena.
Not only is the Rock Mage immune to fire-type attacks, but lightning-type skills are also completely ineffective, like tickling. In addition, the Rock Mage also has the ability to manipulate earth, making him virtually invincible except for his slow movements, allowing him to sweep through four waves of challenging students.
"Well done, Zheng Bingxiao, you really are amazing, as expected of our class monitor."
"Look at the expressions on the faces of those lightning and fire type guys. They were so arrogant just because they were the strongest offensive type at the beginner level, but what happened? When they met Zheng Bingxiao's rock mage, they were all beaten to a pulp."
"We've already swept through four waves. Other types are nothing but trash compared to our summoned beasts, except for your little puppy, of course."
Hai Dafu's words left the short, thin youth feeling quite disheartened, but he couldn't refute them. After all, his Shadow Wolf Beast had just been defeated by a Shadow-type student. However, once his Shadow Wolf Beast grew stronger, he would see who dared to challenge him.
The Rock Mage's dominance in the arena won Zheng Bingxiao the favor of many girls. However, the boys from other departments were very unhappy. The more they thought about it, the more unhappy they became, and soon the students in the seats started talking about it.
"This summoning class is too overpowered! One of them can take on a whole group of us. How are we other classes supposed to survive?"
"Hmph, once they reach the intermediate level, it's hard to say who's the grandson and who's the grandson. Their cultivation relies too much on summoned creatures, and without expensive auxiliary items, it's difficult for them to capture strong summoned beasts."
"You're talking about waiting until the intermediate level. For now, it's best to avoid provoking summoners if possible."
"Hey, did you guys see that? That Rock Mage seems to be struggling. It's normal for it to be bombarded by so many experts in turn."
Seeing that her Rock Mage was about to give up, Zheng Bingxiao in the arena did not hesitate to admit defeat, saying, "I surrender. My Rock Mage is almost dead. I can't risk its safety for the sake of a reward."
After Zheng Bingxiao left the stage, some students in the audience started discussing, saying, "I heard that this Rock Mage should be the strongest in their summoning class. There shouldn't be any powerful summons coming up next."
"No, there's also the Bone Eater. That kind of creature is extremely ferocious and is probably the most abnormal among all summoned creatures. If a novice mage doesn't form a team of more than ten people, they will be wiped out."
"Damn, there are such terrifying guys. Let's pick an easy target then."
In the stands of Lei Academy, Jiang Han leisurely watched the matches in the arena below while holding Xue Ling. He stroked Xue Ling's soft fur and said lazily, "This is so boring. Should I go down and give that kid Mo Fan a surprise? Would it be a bit unfair to challenge the summoning type? After all, Xue Ling, you seem to have been able to take on all seven of them."
After fusing with the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline in Bo City, Xue Ling reached the level of a warrior general. If she were to fight against a summoned beast of the summoning type, she would be able to completely crush it in a one-on-one battle. However, Xue Ling would have some trouble dealing with the three summoned beasts: the Bone Eater, the White Armored War Snake, and the Rock Demon.
"Hey, how about we represent the summoning class in the later rounds? But wouldn't that be a bit against the rules?"
While Jiang Han was muttering to himself, Dean Xiao's message had already reached the main campus. Each college sent its four lowest-ranking students to the Qing Dou Hall in the Qing Campus. Although the colleges in the main campus were all at the bottom, they were all genuine mid-level mages.
After the students from the main campus arrived at Qingdou Hall, someone immediately went to inform Dean Xiao. Upon learning this, Dean Xiao said softly, "Arrange for them to stay in the rest room of Qingdou Hall first. After the Summoning Department's welcome competition ends, we will have a special welcome competition."
"A special welcome competition?" None of the other judges understood what Dean Xiao meant.
Dean Xiao said with a smile, "Yes, you'll find out about the special welcome competition after the Summoning Department freshmen are all done."
The beast fighting competition in the arena continued. After Zheng Bingxiao stepped down, Wang Liting confidently walked into the arena and said with a smile to the other members of the summoning class, "Now it's my turn. If I'm in good condition, you guys won't have to go up. You can just sit back and collect the resources."
As soon as Wang Liting finished speaking, he quickly summoned his summoned beast—the Bone Eater.
The Bone Eater resembles a vulture, but is far more ferocious. Its sharp beak and claws, combined with its unparalleled flight speed, make it an invincible hunter in the arena.
If Zheng Bingxiao's Rock Spellcaster is a shield warrior, then Wang Liting's Bone Eater is a shadow assassin.
Wang Liting stood on the back of the Bone-Eating Demon and looked down at it, saying, "My summoned beasts don't just eat corpses, they eat living people too. Anyone dare to come up and try?"
Among the ice-elemental seats, seeing Wang Liting's appearance, some people started discussing again, saying, "I heard that their summoning system seems to have quotas. If they can't kill 100 of us, their resources will be allocated to other high-performing groups. This Bone Eater seems to be able to take on most of the kills, right? Isn't there anyone who can deal with this Bone Eater?"
"There are definitely hidden masters out there; it just depends on whether they're willing to make a move."
While the group was discussing this, a fat guy leaned over and asked, "Do you think if we don't meet the standards, their summoning resources will end up in our ice element?"
"That's for sure. There are plenty of capable people, but that bone-eating demon is too much of a threat. If no expert intervenes, we won't have any chance at all."
