Chapter 9: Five Elements Empress

"Hmm, a Lord Level Summoning Skill Book, I need someone with an Assassin type or Support.

As for the school, can it be exchanged for equipment I can use?

Preferably armor, or equipment for a Magic Summoned Beast."

Shen Fei pondered and said.

He was still thinking about how to get his hands on a third Summoning Skill Book.

It was unexpected that just as he was feeling sleepy, a pillow arrived.

"Sure, I still have some resources.

Also, you can farm the Wild Boar Forest for free for the next half month, all expenses covered by the school..."

Fang Yuan nodded.

But Shen Fei’s next words made Fang Yuan almost blow his beard and stare.

"Principal, I don’t want to farm stories. I want to head to the ’Abyss Edge’ outside first..."

"Are you crazy? At your current level, Abyssal Creatures are at least level 10.

Plus, their fighting power is much stronger than monsters in the stories!

That’s not a story, that’s where people can die!" Fang Yuan’s previously cheerful face turned serious.

Abyss Edge.

It’s the place where the Abyss Secret Realm and Blue Star meet, the Abyss invasion of Blue Star wasn’t instant.

Instead, it was gradual erosion, and the Abyss Edge is where the Abyss and Blue Star collide.

The so-called resurrection of instances doesn’t exist there.

You face Abyssal Creatures directly!

"But the experience there is several times that in stories!"

This was Shen Fei’s thought.

And compared to stories, he could act recklessly at the Abyss Edge, with higher returns.

Moreover, exploring the Abyss Edge comes with bounties, directly a win-win.

He wins twice.

Fang Yuan looked deeply at Shen Fei, shook his head, and said, "No, I disagree!"

"Principal, I know you’re worried about my safety, but I am aware of my capabilities.

I won’t fight a battle unprepared. If I’m proposing this, I’m sure I can handle it.

Besides, when the stories were yet undeveloped, our predecessors faced similar challenges."

"Not to mention there’s already a group working hard to clear the Abyss Edge.

Why can others do it, but not me?"

"How can the present lose to the past!"

Shen Fei’s words gave Fang Yuan a slight shock, looking at Shen Fei with an entirely different gaze.

How can the present lose to the past!

It was possible then, why not now?

Fang Yuan was silent because it was genuinely too dangerous.

Shen Fei was silent too.

Until the tea cooled, Fang Yuan finally sighed and said, "Go ahead, report to the Breaking Abyss Army at the Abyss Edge. I’ll make a call over there.

But remember, above all else, ensure your own safety!!"

"Alright!"

Shen Fei nodded. He did speak a bit fervently, but he was aware that this world had many Heavenly Pride individuals.

He even heard that some reached level 20, nearly 30, by the college entrance exam.

Just by grinding the beginner’s story.

That’s simply impossible.

Because weaker monsters reduce the experience gained, even nearing none.

This is a limitation of the Blue Star’s awareness.

But Abyssal Creatures don’t.

Moreover, he knew.

Su Muyu must also be fighting against Abyssal Creatures, otherwise it wouldn’t be called special training.

If his girlfriend can do it, he absolutely can’t be weaker than her!

"The items will be sent to you tomorrow. Head back now! I don’t even know if my agreement will bring fortune or disaster!"

Fang Yuan rubbed his temple.

"Then, Principal, I’ll take my leave."

"Hmm."

Until Shen Fei left the office, Fang Yuan reflected on what Shen Fei had said and realized he had been maneuvered.

What’s this about how the present loses to the past? The predecessors worked so hard to make life easier for their descendants, didn’t they?

But thinking of the combat ability Shen Fei had displayed.

"A hero emerges from the youth! Hahaha, Old Ghost Liuu was boasting to me about producing a genius who can clear Nightmare Level, what about Hell Level?"

...

Shen Fei returned home and sent a thank-you message to Wang Xun.

This time, Wang Xun truly proved to be a brother.

Soon, Wang Xun replied.

[Wang Xun: Brother Shen, I will work hard, and when the time comes, we’ll be the twin stars of Class 2, achieving great results in the entrance exams!]

[Shen Fei: Mm!]

Then Shen Fei, as usual, offered three incense sticks to his deceased parents, "Dad, Mom! I’m about to join the Breaking Abyss Army too, don’t worry.

Even though I’m a transmigrator, I’m still your son.

I will definitely flatten the Eye Demon Abyss and avenge you!"

Shen Fei took a deep breath, this was also why he wanted to head to the Abyss Edge.

Because his parents perished in an Abyss invasion action.

He had just started high school then, and a month after his parents’ passing, he awakened memories of his past life.

He was muddle-headed during that time, and that might have been why he awakened memories of his past life.

Shen Fei sat down, glanced at the height of the house.

Still couldn’t release the Vast Heaven Holy Spirit, or it’d break through the ceiling.

"Next, I’ll first contract the Flame Spirit, grant it the Great Five Elements Skill, then proceed with drawing lotteries and opening treasure chests."

Shen Fei took out the Skill Book.

[Skill Book: Summon Flame Spirit]

[Quality: Lord]

[Effect: Magic Summoned Beast—Flame Spirit, can be summoned after use; if the Summoned Beast is slain, it cannot be summoned again within 1 day]

Shen Fei silently invoked the Skill Book.

[You have learned the skill: Summon Flame Spirit]

[You have acquired a new Summoned Beast: Flame Spirit (Lord)]

In the Summoning Space, a human-shaped figure, appearing to be made of fire, suddenly appeared, looking like a small baby.

"Come out."

A beam of light shone, and a flame appeared next to Shen Fei, illuminating the entire house brightly.

[Flame Spirit]

[Quality: Lord]

[Level: 6]

[Talent: Flame Pet (Masters numerous flame magic, increasing magic damage by 50% in hot environments, and by 100% in fire-filled environments)]

[Skills: Fireball v.1 (Elite), Fire Rain Lv.1 (Elite), Flame Burst Lv.1 (Lord), Flame Domain Lv.1 (Lord)]

"Lord level is indeed impressive, no wonder it’s so pricy, but it’s still far from Epic."

Shen Fei shook his head. The Flame Spirit seemed to sense Shen Fei’s disregard and flickered its light a bit.

"Angry? Hahaha, don’t worry, I’ll help you grow stronger."

He granted the pre-prepared [Great Five Elements Skill (Legend)] to the Flame Spirit, and in the next moment.

[Legendary Term Great Five Elements Skill successfully granted]

[Summoned Beast: Flame Spirit (Lord) evolves—Five Elements Empress (Legend)]

Before Shen Fei’s eyes, the Flame Spirit was enveloped in five-colored light, forming into a cocoon.

"Hmm? Is it going to break out from a cocoon and transform?"

The five-colored cocoon cracked, revealing a snow-white figure inside, Shen Fei widened his eyes, it evolved into a female?

The woman emerged from the cocoon, her face as beautiful as a lotus, with distant mountains for eyebrows, and captivating phoenix eyes.

Her figure was excellent, ink-like long hair cascading over her snow-white shoulders, curvaceous and charming, her figure making Shen Fei think of only two words at first glance.

Oppressive.

Domineering!

After the woman stepped out, her voice was full of a domineering aura, "Are you my master?"

"Uh! Can you put on some clothes first?" Shen Fei rubbed his temple.

He was worried he’d commit a crime, uh, can’t betray Su Nizi.

The Five Elements Empress glanced down, her previously dignified face blushing slightly.

The fragments of the five-colored cocoon swirled onto her body, forming a tight-fitting purple dress, fully outlining her figure.

Adding to her charm.

"Five Elements Empress... such a domineering name, and this is what the Flame Spirit evolved into?"

"Thank you for your gift!"

The Five Elements Empress made a grand gesture towards Shen Fei and said in a voice full of authority.

"Why does it sound so exciting!" Shen Fei scratched his head, "Sit, please sit! No need to be formal."

"Yes!"
