    Chapter 233

    After returning to Morning Sun Courtyard, Su Hao sought out Sister Bai once again and unloaded every question that had been lingering in his mind.

    This time, she answered them all without holding anything back.

    A failed Summoner Talent Assessment could indeed be retaken, but only after paying a considerable fee.

    Basic books on Summoners could be purchased from any major bookstore, allowing ordinary people to learn the fundamentals. However, anything beyond the basics was restricted. Advanced textbooks were controlled by the Summoner Academies, although graduates could privately sell their copies.

    Upon graduating, every student automatically became a registered member of the Summoner Association and received an official Summoner License.

    Of course...

    Not every Summoner chose to register.

    Many preferred to remain independent, living as Wild Summoners outside official supervision.

    That was all Su Hao needed to know.

    Since knowledge itself wasn't monopolized forever...

    There was no need for him to force his way into a Summoner Academy.

    His true objective had never changed.

    He needed to understand the mechanism behind Spatial Perception and unravel the principles governing spatial movement.


    ---

    "Hahaha!"

    A burst of mocking laughter suddenly echoed across the courtyard.

    Su Hao glanced sideways.

    As expected...

    Bai Shansong had arrived again, accompanied by six or seven older children.

    With an exaggerated grin, Bai Shansong called out loudly,

    "Well, well..."

    "I thought someone was special."

    "Turns out you're just ordinary people like the rest of us!"

    Although he never mentioned any names...

    Everyone knew exactly who he was talking about.

    Now that Su Hao and Yashan had both failed the Summoner Talent Assessment, Bai Shansong naturally couldn't resist taking revenge.

    He laughed even louder.

    "Someone used to act so arrogant..."

    "As if he were better than everyone else..."

    "And now look!"

    "Reality slapped him right in the face!"

    "Hahaha!"

    Before he could continue...

    Su Hao calmly said,

    "Jingyi."

    "The noise is getting annoying."


    ---

    Yashan immediately stood up.

    Crack.

    His joints cracked loudly as he stretched.

    Without saying a single word...

    He slowly walked toward Bai Shansong.

    The smile on Bai Shansong's face instantly froze.

    He nervously pointed at Yashan.

    "B-Bai Jingyi..."

    "What are you doing?"

    "I didn't provoke you!"

    "Are you trying to hit someone again?"

    "On what grounds?"

    Yashan simply smiled.

    It was the kind of smile that made people's scalps tingle.

    The next instant—

    He kicked off the ground.

    In the blink of an eye...

    He was already standing before Bai Shansong.

    Bang!

    One punch landed squarely on Bai Shansong's face.

    With a miserable scream...

    The boy flew backwards more than two meters before crashing onto the ground.

    What followed...

    Was another completely one-sided beating.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Within moments...

    Every one of Bai Shansong's companions was sprawled across the ground, crying miserably.

    Yashan finally returned to Bai Shansong.

    Stepping on his chest...

    He leisurely added several more punches for good measure.


    ---

    Bai Shansong wanted to cry.

    He truly regretted it.

    Why...

    Why did I provoke these two monsters again...?

    Moments ago...

    He had been laughing with all his might.

    Now...

    He was crying just as loudly.

    What he couldn't understand was this—

    He was almost ten years old.

    These two were only six.

    So why...

    Couldn't he win?

    It was utterly unreasonable!

    And they were already six years old!

    Shouldn't children this age have learned to restrain themselves?

    Why did these two always punch people so ruthlessly?

    Life was simply too unfair.


    ---

    Watching from a distance...

    Even Su Hao couldn't help shaking his head.

    Bai Shansong really was a remarkable talent.

    Despite being beaten half to death less than a year ago...

    He had somehow forgotten the lesson already.

    That kind of resilience...

    Was truly rare.


    ---

    That night...

    After everyone else had fallen asleep...

    Su Hao quietly woke Yashan.

    "Let's go."

    "We're finding a Summoner."

    Yashan immediately climbed out of bed.

    "Understood, Boss Jingzhong."

    The two silently climbed over the orphanage wall and disappeared into the night.


    ---

    As they wandered through the streets...

    Yashan eagerly flexed his fists.

    Ever since obtaining his personalized Compound Rune, he had been itching to test it in a real fight.

    Tonight...

    Was the perfect opportunity.

    "Boss Jingzhong."

    "Where are we going to find Summoners?"

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "We'll just walk around."

    "If we're lucky..."

    "We'll run into a few."

    The best place would naturally have been the Summoner Academy.

    Unfortunately...

    School was on break.

    The campus was practically deserted.

    At present, Su Hao only possessed body data from four Summoners, including Chen Haiyun.

    That sample size was far too small.

    He needed more.


    ---

    His Perception Rune quietly spread outward.

    Its effective radius had already reached nearly fifteen hundred meters and continued expanding as his body adapted.

    Soon...

    A target appeared.

    Strictly speaking...

    Not a Summoner.

    But...

    A Summoned Beast.

    Since there was a Summoned Beast...

    Its Summoner had to be nearby.

    Su Hao immediately changed direction.

    "I found them."

    As they ran, he continued explaining,

    "Two Summoners."

    "Five Summoned Beasts."

    "We attack together."

    "Neutralize both the Summoners and their beasts as quickly as possible."

    Yashan grinned confidently.

    "No problem, Boss Jingzhong."


    ---

    A few minutes later...

    Thin layers of white bone gradually covered both their faces, forming familiar bone masks.

    They quietly entered a small woodland.

    Inside...

    A battle was already underway.

    A woman dressed in blue robes sat leisurely atop a massive serpent covered with concentric ring-like markings.

    She looked completely relaxed.

    Across from her stood a handsome man in a suit.

    His appearance, however, was miserable.

    His clothes were stained with mud.

    Fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.


    ---

    Su Hao immediately recognized him.

    It was Xiao Linzi.

    The same young man who frequently visited Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Beside the blue-robed woman stood two more Summoned Beasts.

    To her left was an enormous armored bear.

    To her right stood a powerfully built zebra with brilliantly colored horns.

    Xiao Linzi's own two Summoned Beasts looked far worse.

    A gigantic tusked boar.

    And...

    A bat perched on the boar's back.

    Both were covered in wounds from an obviously fierce battle.


    ---

    The woman smiled lazily.

    "You've lasted much longer than I expected."

    "Little brother..."

    "Why not join us?"

    "I promise your big sister will take very good care of you."

    Ever since Xiao Linzi had begun secretly investigating the Summoned Beast Resistance Association, he had unknowingly attracted their attention.

    Unfortunately...

    He had been discovered by the serpent beneath the woman.

    Su Hao immediately recognized it.

    A B-Rank Summoned Beast.

    Its abilities were:

    Heat Sense.

    Rapid Movement.

    Constriction.

    Venom Spray.

    With only a tusked boar...

    Xiao Linzi had absolutely no chance of escaping.

    Especially since...

    His opponent possessed two powerful combat-type Summoned Beasts.


    ---

    Xiao Linzi silently sighed.

    Looks like...

    Tonight is where my journey ends.

    If they simply killed him...

    Then fed his corpse to the Summoned Beasts...

    No evidence would remain.

    Seeing him remain silent, the woman chuckled.

    "If little brother is too shy to answer..."

    "I'll make the first move."

    The giant serpent slowly carried her backward.

    At the same moment—

    The armored bear let out a deafening roar before charging forward.

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Each step shook the ground.

    The horned zebra also lowered its head before launching into a devastating charge.


    ---

    "Charge!"

    Xiao Linzi roared.

    His tusked boar immediately lowered its massive tusks and slammed headfirst into the armored bear.

    Boom!

    The enormous bear was actually knocked sideways before crashing onto the ground.

    Meanwhile...

    The bat seized Xiao Linzi by both shoulders and lifted him into the air, barely avoiding the zebra's charge.

    Unfortunately...

    The bat wasn't built for prolonged flight.

    After only a short distance...

    It was forced to descend.

    This bat was merely a C-Rank Summoned Beast.

    Its abilities were:

    Positioning.

    Plague.

    It excelled at support...

    Not combat.


    ---

    Just as Xiao Linzi landed...

    Preparing to escape...

    A tiny figure suddenly appeared beside him.

    His eyes widened.

    What—?!

    Before he could react...

    A hand chopped heavily into the back of his neck.

    Thud.

    His vision instantly went black.


    ---

    I'm finished...

    That was Xiao Linzi's final thought before losing consciousness.

    The instant their master collapsed...

    The tusked boar and the bat both entered a berserk state.

    They charged directly toward Su Hao.

    Crack!

    Two bolts of lightning exploded from Su Hao's fingertips.

    The Summoned Beasts stiffened instantly.

    Completely paralyzed.

    Without hesitation...

    Su Hao condensed a massive bone hammer and repeatedly smashed it down.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Only after both beasts were completely unconscious did he finally stop.


    ---

    At that very moment...

    Yashan walked out from deeper within the forest.

    In one hand...

    He dragged the unconscious blue-robed woman by her collar.

    In the other...

    He casually held the enormous serpent by its tail, dragging it across the ground as though it weighed nothing.

    Walking over, he grinned proudly.

    "Boss Jingzhong."

    "It's all taken care of."

    Su Hao looked at him...

    Raised his thumb...

    And nodded approvingly.

    "Well done."
