The bus beeped as soon as it arrived, and the crowd gradually began to flood into the bus, starting the day's journey.
"UwU, I am so sleepy!" A woman complained to her male partner next to her squeamishly. In order to calm his girlfriend, the man put his hand on the girl's distressed hand.
In fact, sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he wonders why he is not a summoner?
Even the lowest-level summoner is enough to lead a good life, instead of working hard for three meals a day like now.
"It's okay, let's take it slowly!" Seeing this guilty boyfriend and his distress that is about to overflow, the lady couldn't help but cheer up and silently comforted.
On the other side, "Sister Fan is going to buy something good at the market today?", I saw a few aunts around a fashionable aunt, with a faint feeling of centering on her.
"Boil chicken soup. I plan to buy a chicken to make up for my son. I hope he will become a bronze summoner as soon as possible. I won't ask for anything else!"
Her son might be a future powerhouse soon, so she is also full of expectations for the future!
But other women in the circle don't have so many possibilities, because their children have basically been tested, and there is no bloodline of the summoner.
They watched their friend get better day by day, but they can only maintain the original appearance, or it may become worse.
The expressions on the faces of a few people couldn't help but darken a bit.
Scenes like this will appear after the ceremony every year.
Every year, many ordinary families will gradually get better due to the appearance of the summoner, and there will also be some families of summoners who lose their pillars because the bloodline cannot be passed on.
Looking at the various life situations in the noisy bus, Fan Wuji felt his situation now is'nt too bad at all.
What a fortunate thing, now he has become the pride of his parents and the foundation of his family.
As the bus moved slowly, the passengers sitting in their seats stopped talking, others slept, others played mobile phones, watched movies with their mobile phones, looked out of the bus window in a daze...
Unconsciously, the center of the base arrived, and Fan Wuji got off the bus and followed the flow of people.
Took a deep breath and raised his hand to check the time: "Seven-thirty!" It was almost time, and the Summoner Association officially started operating at 8 o'clock.
You can see the young man looking up at the exquisite buildings in the city center, and he started walking slowly, but he was not in a hurry. After all, the place was already here!
But when he just walked to the government building, he saw a short line of people. Those people were about the same age as himself, and they came here to register their own beast's information and obtain the qualifications of a prestigious summoner!
But those who are so urgent are basically students from ordinary families! There is no way, after all, with the government's funding of 20,000 credits, they will at most choose to register one or two weeks ago, when Fan Wuji was still meditating on his room.
There is not much money to be had for the purchase of nurturing resources, and the 1,000 credit monthly welfare for all registered summoners is also a lot of resources for everyone!
Fan Wuji entered the line into the crowd. After a while, the gate opened!
In the lobby of Summoner's Association, staff members started their day's work at their posts, and the hall was also operational at this time!
The crowd also began to slowly move forward. However, the team is not getting shorter, but slowly getting longer with the later students.
Watching the staff guide the students to register in an orderly manner, he was walking forward slowly by slowly, Fan Wuji couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It is impossible for his soul beasts to be concealed under a professional inspection machine. It must have caused quite a stir.
He regrets arriving at the government hall so early! But there was no other way, watching the beasts being released.
He saw that the machine slowly projected the name, quality, evolution path, and evolution route of Soul Beasts onto the screen!
"Uncaged Wroth wolf, bronze quality, evolution path: fighter, evolution route: diver"
"Wuju Bladebeast, bronze quality, evolution path: slayer, evolution route: duelist"
"Starchild, bronze quality, evolution path: controller, evolution route: enchanter"
…………………………
It finally was Fan Wuji's turn. He followed the guidance of the staff, entered the inspection platform, and he urged Ragnaros to appear, while also hoping Deathwing won't be discovered.
After a while, a red inferno flashed, and the small, cute Ragnaros appeared in everyone's sight.
The summoner in charge stared at Ragnaros when he was released. There is no doubt that this beast is the first of its kind, and its strength after evolution should be very strong.
Diamond is the highest soul beast quality known in the minds of newly awakened summoners.
For the person who has this soulbeast, the summoner who presided over can only look at him with envy.
He thought in his heart that if he could have such a soul beast at that time, even if he has slow growth in the black iron rank, he could at least become platinum rank in the future!
Will not be reduced to the present, where he can only be the presiding officer of the test in the Summoner's Association in Xiguang base.
When the test result appeared on the big screen, whether it was the working staff or the students preparing for the test, they were all shocked by the gorgeous attributes of Ragnaros!
After a while, the Summoner Association began to be noisy, and students began to discuss.
"Unregistered Soulbeast?? , beyond diamond-level quality??, evolution path: fighter??, evolution route: juggernaut??"
This kind of achievement will still not be lacking in a group of gold, platinum and diamond students.
This kind of soulbeast might never appear again. Even in the key cultivation objects of the five major families in the Xiguang base, those so called family seedlings will have to give the carry spot to Fan Wuji's Ragnaros.
A family will not appear more than one heir in a generation. After all, there are more key training objects, and the pressure on the family will also increase. Cultivating a high ranked the beast from the very beginning is a huge expense.
Moreover, it is necessary to choose a more suitable heir according to the talents of their soulbeast. So as to have the best returns for the given investment. Every time the soul beast chooses to promote, the cost of promoting materials will not be a small amount. There are also costs for unlocking soul abilities, soul weapons, and all aspects of soul beast cultivation require credits.
Every awakened talent in family will be carefully reviewed. But in a nutshell, cultivating all possible talents can only be done by the top family.
After all, the probability of the appearance of special talents is much lower than that of awakening bloodlines. That is why people that are considered special talents are not comparable to Chinese cabbage that you can find everywhere.
At present, Fan Wuji is undoubtedly one of the top people among the same age in Xiguang base!
But if he doesn't grasp it well, Fan Wuji may be left far behind by his classmates.
Fan Wuji would not allow himself to be in such a situation. They said that children from poor families grow up early and matured more early. Under the dual tempering of life and consciousness, they cherished this opportunity even more, and naturally did not let the opportunity be lost in vain.
The summoner in charge quickly recovered his calm, and included Fan Wuji's information and his soul beast's situation into Summoner Association's information management system.
He used his own authority to cover up Fan Wuji's information within a certain range, but there will always be a day when the news will be leaked. After all, there are so many people present today. Not only that, the thunderstorm 3 days ago also made many unsavory characters appear near the vicinity of Xiguang base.
He can only prevent this information from being circulated so quickly, and give the boy some protection. Of all the new soulbeasts in Xiguang, only this boy has so many question marks, so there must be some connection to the event 3 days ago.
"Well, what are you talking about there? I hope you don't spread it. You know that the situation we are facing is not only the pressure of the monster, but also the existence of some rogue human summoners!" The host used his own cultivation pressure to quickly calm the scene.
After calming down the situation, Fan Wuji handed over all the details he can fill up to the staff, such as the race is 'The Firelord' and the current total weight of it's mana is 975 pounds, it's motion speed is 1.6 feet per second, and sprint speed of 191 meters in 10 seconds. After meeting the summoner in charge, he thankfully nodded his head. Fan Wuji then left the lobby as he merged into the crowd and slowly disappeared from the public's field of vision.
Watching the little guy slowly leave, he looked at the boy with satisfaction, and silently wrote down his identity and information in his heart.
He intends to take good care of him, after all, at his age, there is no further possibility, so I can only look at the younger summoners.
He felt his gradually calming heart, and after a few regular breaths, it calmed down completely. He is long past the age of hot bloodedness but seeing such a talented young man, he can't help but remember his own ambitions during his youth.
The next agenda of Fan Wuji is the class field trip. He must cultivate feelings with his classmates, and observe the wilderness outside Xiguang base safely!
After going to the class assembly area, it was confirmed that today, the summoners of class No. 32 will be going on a trip to the wilderness. Everyone who is not attending needs to have a good reason for themselves and it needs to be signed by their parents.
None of the summoners in the class dare to be absent. After all, the field survival trip is already a very routine project. After so many years, the casualty rate is less than 1%, so it can be said that there is almost no danger. The real danger will happen to the people who did not attend, for they wil be considered as outcasts by their classmates and the society.
The trip will last for three days, and the classmate must prepare food, water bottles, tents, mosquito repellent and other necessities by themself.
Fortunately, there is already the most complete list of field materials on the Internet, and many stores will also sell a complete set of materials, so there is no need to worry too much.
Fan Wuji waited until the every classmate arrived. Everyone got on the fully armed troop transport, the Bolkor gunship. The class has an entire convoy of 7 Bolkors to carry everybody.
The pride of the Ultron Industries, the Bolkor is the ideal platform from which to mount mobile operations. Equipped with a high capacity rotary canon, densely plated and with enough space to carry a platoon, the Bolkor holds its own raining down fire and dropping squad after squad at regular intervals.
Unlike the harmless Firbolgs which only cultivators can ride and jump from, Bolkors are very effective at suppressing monsters with their cannon like miniguns, located under the ship.
Passengers are protected by the Bolkor's hull and cannot be killed while in transit. However, they deploy much slower than from Firbolg and still are vulnerable while the rear ramp is lowered.
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
After getting on the Bolkor, all the students were excited. After all, ordinary people have no chance to step into the wild, but the magical and exciting videos on the Voidnet are also attracting these energetic children all the time.
Now that they are about to get in touch with the wild, this feeling is like a child's first roller coaster ride, nervous and anticipating.
After getting into the Bolkor, Fan Wuji sat down with his best friend Zhao Yang.
"Wuji, did you go to the training ground two days ago?" Zhao Yang asked.
"Go." Fan Wuji nodded.
"How is it, how are you right now? What is your soulbeast? Is it strong? Why did your meditation take too long?" Zhao Yang was more than just a little curious.
"Well, I never felt any better. My soulbeast is a new type, called the firelord, his name is Ragnaros. It's not bad. Can you keep a secret? My soulbeast helped me temper my body, so meditation was taking too longer than ordinary, but now, I'm also ahead of everybody else in cultivation." Fan Wuji chattered indifferently.
"It's pretending."
Zhao Yang pouted.
This friend of his who usually looks aloof and cold, and is always full of herself, but only those close to her know that she is a really big hearted girl.
"How are you, Yang Yang? By the way, thanks for the assist. What's your soulbeast?"
Zhao Yang sighed: "I have'nt started cultivation yet, but I think the Khora training manual will be my goal in the future. My hunter cougar is rather timid, but she is really good at fighting. I named her Eggface. At least the energy armor is easily damaged by her. But I dare not try the ball launcher, my Eggface at its current strength will definitely not be able to take the beating."
"That's not bad."
Fan Wuji nodded.
Although the hunter cougar is a cat, its fighting power is definitely not bad. It would really go well with the Khora training manual specialized on training feline companions.
The hunter cougar's rapid pounce gave it a super fast speed, coupled with the pair of sharp claws, it is no exaggeration to call it an assassin in the black iron rank.
However, cats are naturally timid creatures, and they need to be trained well later.
At this time, the inside of the Bolkor was full of messy conversations. There were only more than 350 summoners in their class. After three years, everyone was at least familiar with each other. Among the 50 summoners in the Bolkor, most of them could call each other's name, if they at least paid attention to those people who have also passed the bloodline awakening.
Now everyone has become a summoner, and many students with flexible minds are walking back and forth in the Bolkor to get to know each other better.
At this time, several young people in their 20s walked into the Bolkors.
"Cough, everyone, be quiet."
The dean said in a loud voice, "These are the elite members of the Summoner's Association, and they are also responsible for the safety of your wilderness trip. Next, please introduce yourself."
As soon as the dean's words came out, the school bus immediately became quiet.
"Hello everyone, I'm Guo Yufan, a silver 3 rank summoner." A handsome young man smiled.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Feiyu, a silver 4 rank summoner." A gentle and beautiful girl introduced.
"I'm Guo Jun, a silver 4 rank summoner."
"..."
"Wang Zhe, silver 5 rank Summoner."
After listening to their introduction, everyone in the school bus couldn't help but widen their eyes. The strength of these thirty five people are all above silver.
No one thought that the Summoners Association would send such a group of silver ranks to protect themselves.
"Hello, senior! Hello, senior!"
At this moment, a clever boy spoke first.
"Hello, senior~Hello, senior~"
The others also reacted and said in unison.
Fan Wuji also shouted, and at the same time his eyes were focused on Guo Yufan. It was only because of his strongest strength.
"Okay, then I will assign everyone to these summoners in the order on the list. Listen carefully."
....
After all the personnel were allocated, the dean looked at the summoners and said politely:
"Do you have anything else you want to inform?"
Guo Yufan smiled and said, "Mr. Dean, I think members of each group will come to report to the team leader. We can get to know each other along the way."
"no problem."
Dean turned his head and shouted: "Now everyone is looking for the team leader to report according to the list just assigned."
"Yes!"
Soon several team leaders sat in different positions on every Bolkor, and the team members also sat near their team leader.
The 10 members of Fan Wuji's group soon sat in the Bolkor near Guo Yufan, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
After all, this is a summoner with silver-level strength, such a person is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
"Hello everyone, I'm your team leader Guo Yufan, and I'll take you through the wilderness in the next three days. Now let's introduce ourselves."
Guo Yufan smiled. He speaks very softly, and when he smiles, his eyes are like a crescent moon, making people unable to help but get close.
"Hello, senior, my name is Liu Lei!"
The extroverted Liu Lei raised his back and said.
"Hello, senior, my name is Li Ming!" Li Ming's body is relatively thin and his skin is darker than the average person, but he has a good personality and likes to joke with his classmates.
"Hello, senior, my name is Wang Jiaqi."
Wang Jiaqi is the first girl to introduce herself in the team. She is also very outgoing and can play well with both boys and girls in the class.
"Hello, senior, my name is Xing Yi."
Xing Yi is not tall, but his grades have always been among the best. He is very popular with girls who are studying in general. Every time he is studying at night, there will always be people around him who ask questions.
.....
"Hello, senior, my name is Zhao Yang."
"Hello, senior, my name is Fan Wuji."
After all 10 have made their introductions...
"Okay, now I know everyone. In the next few days, we will lead you to complete the trip in the wilderness. At the same time, please follow the instructions. After all, the wild is a very dangerous place, and even I dare not say it. 100% guarantee for everyone’s safety.”
Guo Yufan still spoke very politely, but everyone could hear the hint of warning in his tone.
"Understood, senpai!"
The 10 people said in unison.
After everyone was assigned, the dean also left the convoy. He is just an ordinary cultivator, and the next trials are still handed over to professionals.
The Bolkors were owned by the Summoner's Association of Xiguang. After everyone was ready, the driver notified everybody then set off.
Destination - Xiguang inner borders.
The forest areas around Xiguang has been completely controlled by the government, and is divided into areas in order of priority, according to the location of the area.
This place not only provides a relatively safe observing area for new summoners, but also as a strategic buffer between Xiguang and Earth Prime. The Xiguang base is one of human bases under the human living area of Earth Prime. Earth Prime is a colony of humans still living on the ground that was considered to be of the human's home planet called Earth. The areas around Earth Prime is one of the best breeding spots for monsters so the officials of Earth Prime built multiple bases around their domain in order to strangle the living areas of monsters. Consequently, monsters around Earth Prime are blessed with endless libido, and would mate all year round so people from Earth Prime and its bases like Xiguang always have to deal with exterminating these monsters all the time.
At the same time, there are troops stationed in the strategic points of the wilderness between the inner borders of the bases and Earth Prime. There are a lot of surveillance inside here, so even if there are dangerous monsters sneaking past Xiguang, they will be cleared by military experts as soon as possible, in order not to let them cause havoc inside Earth Prime itself.
Every year, there are a lot of novice summoner's trip sharing posts on the Internet. Most of the people responsible for protection are experienced summoners in the association, and they are mostly not young.
In the next hour or so, several people asked Guo Yufan a lot of questions, such as how he got promoted to silver, whether what type of cultivation manual was very good, and whether there were any soulbeasts he wanted to have.
Guo Yufan answered these questions patiently to everyone.
The scenery on the sky towards Earth Prime flashed at a high speed, from the heavily fortified Xiguang base at the beginning, passing by the inner wilderness with tall gigantic trees covering the ground, crossing through many strategic outposts covered with many layers of dense vegetation, until arriving at the midway post between Earth Prime and Xiguang.
After two hours, the Bolkor fleet finally arrived in the strategic base in the human controlled area of the wilderness.
"Classmates, you can get off the ship." The driver said loudly after preparing the Bolkor for landing.
"Get out of the ship~"
Everyone couldn't wait, and when they saw the Bolkor was fully stabilized, the cultivators jumped out while the Bolkor was still in midair, while those who have'nt cultivated yet can only watch with envy. All the team leaders jumped out of the Bolkor, along with 91 other people from the class. All in all, 126 people jumped, but...
"What?!! How?! I can understand team leaders are cultivators due to their age. I can understand those people from our class have good backgrounds, but what I can't understand is how can someone like Fan Wuji be a cultivator already. Last I remember, he was still like us in the Physical exam last time."
The young cultivators from the class noticed that among them, one outlier stood, Fan Wuji. It has to be said that these cultivators on the class have been consulting with each other from time to time and they are like their own exclusive group, with their backgrounds allowing them to learn exclusive cultivation manuals that are out of the standard three manuals provided by S.W.O.R.D at an earlier age. These cultivation manuals have backgrounds in multiple organizations and just cultivating these is enough proof to show that they have status, and even if their combat effectiveness is not much better than the 3 from S.W.O.R.D., their varied specializations are useful for the society as a whole.
"Oh, I never noticed Fan Wuji has been hiding his strength all this time."
"Interesting!"
The team leaders noticed the surprise brought by a single student. But they took no note of it for it doesnt matter who steps on the road first to become cultivators. The important thing is that, no matter what road they choose, they must always strive for self improvement. Sooner or later, everybody will still step on the road, and it is not unheard of for people who have stepped later to overtake and leave those who have stepped on the path sooner but later on became stagnant.
After the Bolkor's have landed and everyone was able to disembark, a group of soldiers with live ammunition came to them. They belonged to the garrisoned unit at the post.
Everyone who enters the post must be checked and confirmed, and offenders will be subject to heavy fines and even risk imprisonment.
However, the trip for new summoners are normally unharassed and allowed by the government of Earth Prime. After everyone presents their student IDs, the soldiers check the information in the information database one by one.
Ten minutes later, after checking that it was correct, the soldiers issued a three-day pass to everyone, and they were allowed to observe and roam the surrounding wilderness.
The three-day pass means that each person can only stay in the wilderness for three days, and after three days, if someone is missing, the guards will be forced to find the body or track him down, either as a hostage or maybe even as a fugitive to be hunted.
"Everyone, be quiet."
After arranging themselves in the wide open area near the post, Guo Yufan clapped his hands, the sound was not loud but everyone could hear it clearly.
"In this three days, you will need your respective team leaders to lead the team members to act in groups. Please follow the instructions and ensure your own safety. I won't say anything else. See you in three days."
After Guo Yufan finished speaking, the captains walked in different directions with their team members.
"Senior, how should we go?"
Looking at the dimly lit forest ahead, Fan Wuji couldn't contain the excitement and nervousness in his heart.
"Just follow me."
Guo Yufan waved his hand and led the team towards the 195° direction, if we used the direction towards Earth Prime as the 000° heading.
The millenium-old trees in the forest are connected together like an ancient megacity, their gigantic roots are like primal earth pythons basking in the light of day. The mottled light spots from the gargantuan shade are giving the people a feeling of being small and insignificant. The soil and moss under the feet are hard and full of life, and treading on the carpet of swampy vegetation made the team feel like they might be swallowed whole in the next moment.
Except for Guo Yufan, the others were entering the forest for the first time. They looked around like curious babies, exploring everything in the forest.
"Tango of Essifation."
Fan Wuji suddenly crouched down and looked at a small vibrant sapling growing in the trunk of a gargantuan tree.
According to the description in the book, 'Tango of Essifation has the effect of healing the monsters body after chewing this tree. The vast majority of soulbeast potions are also based on Tango of Essifation's properties.'
This is the first time Fan Wuji has seen the wild Tango of Essifation and he is very happy that the book reflects reality.
"That's right. While this here is the healing salve, the primary material monsters refine to heal serious injuries."
Guo Yufan said: "In addition to monsters, there are many valuable plants growing in the wild, such as Tango of Essifation, which are not only the most common plants, but also play a very important role in the monster ecosystem. Therefore, the wild is not only a crisis for human beings, but also an opportunity."
"Senior, are there any very strange plants in the wild?" Li Ming asked.
"very many."
Guo Yufan said: "For human beings, the wild is still a mysterious forbidden area. Most of the wild have not been surveyed, but there are many very strange plants that I know. If a diamond-level beast eats it, it will be directly promoted to the master level, and there is also a satanic snakevine, any monster who eats it can maintain a permanently looking youthful appearance until death."
"Wow~"
The crowd exclaimed.
Several boys exclaimed because they discovered that after the diamond level is called the master, and the girls exclaimed because of hearing that there are plants that can maintain appearance.
"Of course, precious plants always grow in extremely dangerous environments, so everyone should work hard to improve their strength first."
"Yes!"
Everyone was excited and full of fighting spirit.
After entering the forest, Fan Wuji and the other nine summoned their war beasts.
Zhao Yang's soul beast, the Hunter cougar, is usually timid, but after entering the forest, it walked on the ground, very alert, so that it can give full play to its speed and flexibility.
Liu Lei's Valorous falcon stood on his shoulders, flying into the air from time to time to observe the situation ahead.
Wang Jiaqi's soul beast is a harpy harpist, black iron level 1, and the skill is fascinating music, which can also make the opponent fall into a dancelike coma. The harpy is holding a harp in its two palms, and usually skirts back and forth on Wang Jiaqi's head and shoulders.
Li Ming's soulbeast is a Frog demon with the ability to make its skin slimy, which can be well integrated with its tough skin. At the same time, its tongue has a strong penetrating ability, which can pierce a solid wood board with one blow. It can be said to be a powerful counter killer.
Xing Yi's beast is a plague rat, twice the size of a normal rat, and its abdominal cavity has a strong toxic ability, which makes the sputum it spat out have the power of poison, so it also sometimes called a poison mouse.
Fan Wuji also summoned Ragnaros. After a few days of cultivation and tons of healing fountains, the disdain on Ragnaros's body had disappeared, but at the same time, there was not a little bit of arrogance in its eyes, which made it look even more majestic.
Fan Wuji nodded in satisfaction after seeing everyone's war beasts look strong. Except for his own soul beast, he did'nt know about the others' soul beasts, both in terms of quality and combat effectiveness.
"Okay, everyone, then you need to be careful. I won't take action against weaker monsters. Everything is up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Yufan also summoned his own beast, a fierce ape, a variation of the stone ape.
His fierce ape was more than two meters tall, with knotted muscles all over his body, and his withered-yellow hair was messy, looking like a savage.
Fan Wuji recalled some information about stone and fierce apes. Looking at the aura and coercion that was released by the ape, he figured...
[Name of the beast] Fierce Ape
[Soul Beast rank] Bronze 2 rank
[Soul Beast Skill] Crushing Blow
Guo Yufan is a silver 3 rank summoner, which means that his strongest beast should be silver 3 rank. Therefore, the fierce ape is not his main battle beast.
However, this Bronze 2 rank ape is also very strong. At least in this area, they will hardly encounter opponents, so it is more than enough to protect everyone.
oooooooooo~
As soon as it appeared, the fierce ape circled around Guo Yufan and let out a low growl, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, I was only busy for a while, and I couldn't let you out. I'll let you relax today."
Guo Yufan brushed the hair on the fierce ape's head with his hands and said helplessly.
