Chapter 34 The Trump Card Is About To Be Exposed
"Ah!" Li Junshan was thoroughly stunned, and it took him half a day to come back to his senses. He hastily asked, "Mr. Lendon, is the reason my spiritual power training has not made progress related to this book?"
"That's for sure," Randolph said. "This book is obviously a hearsay adaptation, the front part is fine, but the back part has problems, I guess it's all fabricated."
As he spoke, Lundorf walked to the front podium and rummaged through it, finding a transparent crystal ball that emitted a milky white glow all over its body. He walked up to Li Junshan and placed it on the table, saying: "Put your right hand on the test ball and focus your mind."
Li Junshan followed his words and calmed down, clearing his mind. Suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a faint blue glow.
"Hmm, not bad, your spiritual power has already reached the level of a great summoner." Randolph smacked his lips and put away the crystal testing ball.
"Great Summoner?" Li Junshan was confused and asked, "Mr. Lendolf, didn't you just say that this book was wrong? How did I become the Great Summoner again?"
"The front is correct, but the back symbol gesture is completely wrong, and the spiritual power cultivation method is not accurate enough." Randolph said: "You are already a great summoner, you can summon sixth-level magic beasts."
Li Junshan was getting more and more confused, his summoning technique had only broken through once since he learned it in Fenghuo Town, and there had been no progress afterwards. Could it be that he would break through to the Great Summoner all at once?
"That's not right." Li Junshan was puzzled and said, "I tried it before in the Luoyue Mountains, summoning the Great Water Rhinoceros Monster exhausted my spiritual power, but I couldn't succeed. Later, I used a forced summoning method, threatening the life of the young Great Water Rhinoceros Monster, and finally succeeded."
"Coercive summoning?" Lundorf stared at him and said, "Not to mention the great summoner, even the summoning saint and the summoning emperor are not necessarily successful when summoning magic beasts. It's a matter of endurance and spiritual power. You're obviously a great summoner, and you've occasionally succeeded in summoning a sixth-level magic beast. What's coercive summoning? Coercive summoning refers to cross-level summoning. There have been examples of this before, but most people end up dying from the summoned beast's soul backlash. Do you dare to try?"
"Monsters above level 6 are extremely difficult to summon, while young beasts have a much higher success rate. Sedum and Nansy's two level 6 monsters, you've seen them too, were bought from the Mercenary Guild at a high price when they were young, fed with the best food every day, played with them, and spent two years of effort to successfully summon them."
"When Feng Huo Zhen encountered the Black Dragon, that magician who possessed a 9th-level demonic beast, Golden-Eyed Demon Eagle, had strength equivalent to that other warrior, which was baffling. Now hearing this, it's likely that the method that magician used to tame the Golden-Eyed Demon Eagle is similar to Sedum and the others." Li Junshan thought to himself, speechless.
At that time, Fa Te also said so, and he himself didn't understand it either, but he believed it to be true. He didn't think that he was already a great summoner and originally had the ability to summon sixth-level magic beasts.
"What about your spiritual space?" Randolph almost forgot this very key question, and asked: "Just now I saw you summon two magical beasts, how big is your spiritual space? Can you feel it?"
Li Junshan had a mind to ask him for advice, so he tentatively said: "It's hard to say clearly, that feeling is very mysterious, it seems about the same size as our college, and there's no way to describe it accurately."
"What." Randolph's eyes widened in surprise for the first time in front of Li Junshan, and he stood up involuntarily, his face shocked.
"About the size of George College?" Randolph asked incredulously, asking again.
"It should be." Li Junshan suddenly felt a little regretful, but since the words had already been spoken, he couldn't deny them, so he just nodded.
Randolph slowly sat down, his eyes complexly looking at Li Junshan, and after a while asked: "How many summoning beasts can you summon now?"
"Hmm, at most ten, but a few were lost during the training in the Luoyue Mountains, and since we didn't encounter any suitable magical beasts, we haven't summoned them again." Li Junshan said tentatively, and Randolph's expression made him wonder.
"It's your spiritual power that's holding you back." Randolph furrowed his brow and suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"I haven't even had a chance to look at your file, who's your father? In Auston City?"
Li Junshan shook his head and said: "My father is a viscount in Florence, this time coming to George College is the arrangement of Marquis Sweet."
"Marquis Sweet." Randolph read it once, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Junshan and said, "You go back first, today's first day is not on class yet."
Li Junshan slightly bowed his head and turned around to walk out.
"This place is not suitable for him." Watching Li Junshan's back disappear outside the door, Lundorf muttered to himself, got up and walked out, all the way to the school gate, where he hailed a horse carriage and got on.
Go to Lyon district.
The coachman responded with a pleasant voice and drove the carriage away from George College.
Li Junshan strolled around the campus for a few rounds, feeling somewhat bored, and then headed straight to the West District dormitory area. From afar, he saw a magnificent building that was at least six stories high with an extremely large span.
The dormitory manager was an old man who had been around for a while. Li Junshan showed him his student ID before he let him in.
The dormitory building of George College is very simple, and each room has a small magic array on the door. The college-made special student ID card can only be opened to protect the students' privacy.
This little magic circle is very simple, and with so many students in the college doing free labor, it's a win-win situation.
It was already late afternoon, and many students were going up and down the corridor. Li Junshan walked to the fifth floor, took out his student card, and just as he was about to open the door, it opened by itself. Fatou stood at the entrance, smiling somewhat awkwardly.
"Master, I just saw you coming up."
"The dormitory management in the college is quite humanized." Li Junshan walked in, took over the tea water handed by Fate and said: "This is also good, don't worry about others coming in at will, you can set up a magic spirit gathering array in your room, and meditate inside when you have nothing to do."
Fatty nodded and said: "Master..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Li Junshan interrupted him, saying: "If you're willing, just call me by my name, I've corrected you many times, you're not my slave, and this is a school, what's with the 'master'?"
Seeing Fa Te looking somewhat embarrassed, Li Junshan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, if you don't want to call me by my name, just call me Young Master."
"Master." Fatt's face finally relaxed, and he said excitedly: "The Empire's First Academy is indeed extraordinary. That magic instructor teaches in a way that's easy to understand, much better than my previous instructor."
"It's fine as long as you gain something." Li Junshan nodded and said, "I see that most of the magic students are older than you, so don't feel any pressure, just focus on learning."
"Hmm." Fatou nodded, seeing Li Junshan lying on the bed with his eyes narrowed in drowsiness. He quietly walked to his own bed and sat down to meditate, not disturbing him again.
The next morning, Li Junshan woke up early, washed and bid farewell to Fate, heading towards the Summoner Class. Upon entering, he saw a few students sitting sparsely inside, but didn't see Landon.
"Master Nicholas."
Suddenly hearing someone calling himself, Li Junshan turned his head and saw Bernie standing outside the door with a smile.
"Mr. Berni, how did you come?" Li Junshan was somewhat curious.
"His Excellency the Marquis requests your presence at his manor," Bern said respectfully.
"He used to call himself 'you', but now he's changed it to 'you'." Li Junshan felt a bit strange, and also felt that the way he looked at him was somewhat different from before, as if there was more respect.
Following Bernie out of the college gate, Li Junshan and Bernie took a horse-drawn carriage south of the city.
"Does Marquis want something from me?" Li Junshan asked with some curiosity in his heart.
"You'll know when you get back." Berny looked at Li Junshan with a completely unscrutinizing smile.
He also felt that his question was a bit abrupt, so Li Junshan stopped talking. After a while, the carriage stopped, and Li Junshan and Berni got off the carriage and walked into the Sweet Marquis's mansion.
All the way to the living room, Bernie gestured for Li Junshan to go in and stood guard outside. Li Junshan knocked on the door and only pushed it open after hearing a response.
At a glance, he saw a middle-aged man in white robes inside the hall, and Li Junshan was greatly shocked, almost turning around to escape.
"Nicholas, don't be afraid." said Marquis Suet: "Come in."
His heart racing wildly, Li Junshan lowered his head and took a few deep breaths before slowly walking in.
That white-robed middle-aged man was none other than Lautre, the magician whom Li Junshan had met in the desolate mountains north of Fenghuo Town.
There were four people sitting in the room, apart from an old man sitting in the middle, the other three were Randolph, Sweet and the complex-looking Laurat.
The old man in the middle suddenly laughed a few times and said: "Nicholas, hmm, how old are you this year?"
Li Junshan replied somewhat mysteriously: "I'll be fifteen soon."
"Fifteen years old." The old man chuckled, "Not bad, indeed a young man. You don't recognize me, huh? Hehe, I am Odrech, and according to the family hierarchy, you should call me Grandfather."
"Archduke Odrecht." Li Junshan's mind flashed with this information, and he was shocked again.
Audric # Hariman, the current head of the Hariman family, was once a famous general of the empire, but now he is old and has long since retired. It is said that more than ten years ago, he had already reached the rank of War God.
"I've met your grandfather, Nicholas. I didn't know it was you, forgive me." Li Junshan did not expect that this seemingly somewhat slovenly old man was the master of the house, his heart surged with waves, but he showed a respectful face.
"Sit down." Odrech waved his hand, seeing Li Junshan sitting stiffly in the lowest chair, and then looked at Laura and said: "If you hadn't come to find me, I really wouldn't have known that our family had produced such a genius, with a Black Dragon Summoning Beast at the age of fifteen."
Lauratte's face looked a bit unsightly, she forced a smile and stared fixedly at Li Junshan.
"Nicholas, I heard from Mr. Laura that you obtained a peculiar black dragon summoning beast in the northern wilderness of Fenghuo Town and also got a black dragon egg, is this true?" O'Drich asked Li Junshan, his seemingly turbid eyes flashing with a hint of sharpness.
"Yes."
At this time, there was absolutely no way to hide it anymore, Li Junshan had to admit it.
"How did you do it?" Laura asked in a barrage of questions, her eyes fixed intently on Li Junshan. "Mr. Randolph said you only have the strength of a Great Summoner, how is it possible to summon a black dragon? What kind of monster came out of that black dragon's belly? And when I arrived, there was an open beast egg in front of the black dragon, and a dead multi-clawed Qite small demon on the ground. What's going on?"
