Chapter 19: Do Summoners Have Other Hidden Playstyles?

Following Yang Xin’s lead, Shen Fei noticed that the black mist in the air was getting thicker, even beginning to affect his vision.

The soil on the ground was growing increasingly darker, even accompanied by a stench of decay...

"Which school are you from? With your skills, you must be from Imperial University!"

"Is that woman your Summoned Beast?"

"Actually, I’m quite strong myself, but that was a Demon, much stronger than Abyssal Creatures of the same Level. I’m quite a well-known figure at my school too."

"By the way, what Level are you now? You must be over Level 20!"

Once Yang Xin relaxed, she started chattering non-stop.

Shen Fei rubbed his temples and said, "Could you be a bit quieter? I already regret bringing you along. Besides, I’m only Level 11, I still have to prepare for my college entrance exams."

Yang Xin swallowed and whispered, "You’re only Level 11?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xin’s mind buzzed.

She remembered seeing Shen Fei emit a leveling-up glow, which meant that when he killed that Demon, he was only Level 10.

Are you kidding me, that’s Level 10?

Suddenly, Yang Xin felt a sense of defeat—she was Level 18, and yet her combat power couldn’t compare to Level 10.

"You still have to prepare for college entrance exams? Damn, what high school student can match you now!"

Shen Fei glanced over and said coolly, "Has anyone ever told you that you talk a lot? Now, tell me how you found that place!"

As Shen Fei extracted a note, he inquired.

[Emperor Flame Ancient Body (Legend): Emperor of all flames, can devour Anomalous Fire, control Anomalous Fire, significantly enhance the power of all Flame Attacks, can devour an Anomalous Fire every 5 Levels!]

"Hmm?"

Shen Fei saw the note.

Without a word, he gave it to the Empress.

The Empress originally evolved from the Flame Spirit.

Though now mastering the Five Elements.

The Empress particularly enjoyed using the most explosive Fire Magic.

With her equipment and the Emperor Flame Ancient Body.

If it all were to erupt fully, even he couldn’t imagine how terrifying it would be.

[Emperor Flame Ancient Body note granted successfully]

The Five Elements Empress’s phoenix eyes widened immediately.

She again felt an immense power surging within her, almost to the point of being uncontrollable.

Power from her master.

Almost brimming inside her!

"Master, I want to return to the Summoning Space." The Five Elements Empress requested for the first time to return to the Summoning Space.

"Okay."

Shen Fei knew what was happening.

After the Five Elements Empress returned to the Summoning Space, the moment she entered, endless flames erupted from her entire body.

The flames she emitted were of various colors.

The monstrous flames turned into a lotus flower that enveloped the Five Elements Empress, only to bloom again, showcasing her like a Divine Maiden born from fire.

[Five Elements Empress (Legend) evolves to Five Elements Empress (Tier One of Legend)]

Shen Fei felt a flood of knowledge about controlling fire rush into his mind, even fire began to wander through his body, cleansing him completely.

The aura on his body couldn’t help but rise.

Yang Xin was amazed, what’s happening again?

’How can those taking the college entrance exams compete now?’ Shen Fei exclaimed internally, feeling that he had opened too big a cheat, allowing Summoned Beasts to ascend in rank just by relying on notes.

Being a Summoner was originally his weakness, but now his strength might surpass that of other professions at the same Level.

Upon hearing Shen Fei’s question, Yang Xin’s face turned serious.

She began by talking about taking up a mission; however, it was only ten minutes later that Shen Fei heard Yang Xin mention coming to the Abyss Edge...

"Get to the point!"

Shen Fei rubbed his temples, thinking that she was pretty, but once she talked, how could she chatter on like this non-stop?

"Um... we’re almost there. Following the places where students vanished, I found they all disappeared within a hundred-mile radius of a certain spot, so I went to search that area."

"And then I was discovered and hunted down."

Yang Xin sighed and suddenly thought aloud, "Did you notify the defense line?"

"I did."

Shen Fei naturally didn’t hide this matter.

After all, he’s confident, but what if something else happens?

Besides, he didn’t delay the rescue, he just went to scout ahead himself.

"Alright then. If we find ourselves outmatched, we must leave immediately!"

Yang Xin reminded him, but couldn’t help wanting to ask something because Shen Fei intrigued her too much—just a high school student.

Shen Fei saw Yang Xin about to speak, "Say another word and I’ll leave you behind!"

Yang Xin shut her mouth at last.

Shen Fei exhaled in relief, noting that Yang Xin was indeed quite attractive—long black hair, form-fitting battle armor with thigh-high boots, exuding a domineering aura, and a leg ring encircling her right thigh. Her figure was enchanting and curvaceous.

Silent, she’s a wife.

But when she speaks, it’s like hosting a village council with three hundred grannies.

How does she talk so much?

Yang Xin pursed her lips, but her eyes continued to examine Shen Fei.

’He’s handsome, I wonder if he has a girlfriend!’

After a moment of silence.

Yang Xin quietly said, "We’ve arrived!"

In the distance stood a towering temple, looking gloomy and desolate. It must have been a well-known scenic spot before.

"Want me to scout first? My profession is Assassin, and it’s unique. I’m confident I can sneak into their depths." Yang Xin cautiously asked.

But Shen Fei only replied softly, "Then how did you find it last time?"

Yang Xin looked a bit embarrassed, "That time..."

"Enough, I’ll have someone check. If there’s no one inside, I’ll unleash a Big Move!"

"Who will go? That extremely beautiful woman just now?"

"No, coincidentally. I also have an Assassin-type Summoned Beast..."

Yang Xin watched as Shen Fei suddenly spoke into the air, "Little Sprite, go see if there are any captives left inside?"

"Okay!"

Yang Xin was still puzzled but was startled by a crisp response.

She... she didn’t notice anyone nearby?

"Just now..."

"My Assassin."

"How come I didn’t notice her?"

"That’s your problem then."

As an Assassin, Yang Xin was highly sensitive to stealth from the same profession.

Because if the enemy were also an Assassin.

And you couldn’t detect their stealth.

That would be a dimensional attack!

There’d be no time to react; the enemy’s dagger would slit her throat.

What exactly is Shen Fei’s training method?

All three of these Summoned Beasts were no ordinary beings.

Could Shen Fei be from some hidden wealthy family?

But she remembered there was no prominent aristocratic family with the surname Shen!

Summoners typically needed substantial funds. Raising a single Summoned Beast to a formidable battle force was an achievement in the early stages.

Yet Shen Fei managed to raise three Summoned Beasts.

And each seemed capable of defeating her effortlessly.

This is ridiculous...

Could it be there’s a hidden gameplay for Summoners?
