    Chapter 258

    The following day, Su Hao arrived at Yongxin City's Summoner Tower.

    His purpose was simple—

    To officially certify his summoner rank.

    At present, his avenues for acquiring new knowledge about space had nearly dried up.

    The Summoner Academy's library contained plenty of books, but almost all of them focused on training competent summoners.

    To Su Hao, those books had already become nearly useless.

    With his current understanding of summoning, he could probably write a more comprehensive textbook himself.

    If he wanted to continue researching higher-dimensional space and spatial manipulation...

    He would eventually have to interact with the world's true powerhouses.

    Organizations such as the Summoner Association, the Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau, and even the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    He already had a preliminary plan.

    Today's certification was merely the first step.


    ---

    At the registration desk...

    The clerk glanced at the young boy standing before him.

    Then at the tiny summoned beast beside him.

    His expression immediately became one of helpless amusement.

    Another child playing at being a summoner...

    However—

    Without saying a word...

    Su Hao casually opened spatial rifts one after another.

    His entire summoned beast legion appeared in orderly rows.

    The registration clerk froze.

    His eyes widened.

    Ten summoned beasts.

    Ten summon slots.

    At this age?

    Even if they were ordinary summoned beasts...

    This alone was enough to prove extraordinary talent.

    But after taking a closer look...

    His expression immediately relaxed again.

    "They're all E-Class... D-Class..."

    "Oh."

    "There's one C-Class."

    He sighed sympathetically.

    "Young man..."

    "Only B-Class summoned beasts or above count toward official summoner rank."

    "Your summoned beasts are mostly D-Class and E-Class."

    "Coming for certification now doesn't really mean anything."

    "You should ask your teacher to help you obtain stronger summoned beasts first."

    "Then come back."


    ---

    Su Hao remained expressionless.

    "Are you responsible for evaluating summoned beast ranks?"

    The clerk shook his head.

    "No."

    "I'm only responsible for registration."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Then please register me."

    "I'm in a hurry."

    The clerk couldn't help reminding him again.

    "Registration won't change anything."

    "The examination fee is 10,000 yuan."

    "If you fail, the money isn't refunded."

    Su Hao looked at him calmly.

    "Whether my summoned beasts qualify or not..."

    "Has nothing to do with your job."

    "As for the result..."

    "You don't need to worry about it."

    The clerk was momentarily speechless.

    Fine.

    Young geniuses were always stubborn.

    Since the boy insisted on wasting money...

    That wasn't his problem.

    He completed the paperwork according to procedure.

    After entering Su Hao's information into the system, he said,

    "Please wait in the certification hall of the South Wing."

    "When your name is called, follow the examiner."


    ---

    After paying the examination fee...

    Su Hao dismissed his summoned beasts and walked toward the waiting area.

    As he walked, he thought to himself,

    "Judging people by appearances exists everywhere."

    "Now they even judge summoned beasts by appearance."

    "Everyone believes their shallow understanding is absolute truth."

    Then he sighed inwardly.

    "Still..."

    "My luck really isn't very good."

    "After all this time, I haven't summoned a single naturally high-grade summoned beast."

    "During the assessment, I'd better let them reveal their evolved forms immediately."

    "Otherwise explaining everything would be troublesome."


    ---

    Strictly speaking...

    This had nothing to do with luck.

    The probability of naturally summoning a B-Class or above summoned beast was below 2%.

    That meant over 98% of all summons resulted in E-, D-, or C-Class creatures.

    Even after ten thousand summons...

    Obtaining nothing above C-Class would not be impossible.

    Probability never guaranteed outcomes.

    It only described long-term tendencies.

    After quietly calculating the mathematics...

    Su Hao even reached an amusing conclusion.

    Every time he summoned another low-grade beast...

    The probability of everyone else summoning high-grade beasts increased ever so slightly.

    How tragic.

    Fortunately...

    He had never cared much about a summoned beast's natural rank.

    As long as it looked good...

    He could personally evolve it into something far stronger.

    Otherwise...

    With his personality...

    He might have simply summoned every low-grade beast from the secondary world before anyone else had the chance.


    ---

    After waiting for a while...

    The electronic announcement echoed throughout the hall.

    > "Mr. Lu Shang."

    "Miss Luo Xiaoye."

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong."

    "Please proceed to the Summoner Rank Assessment Area."



    A young female staff member walked out.

    She repeated,

    "Mr. Lu Shang, Miss Luo Xiaoye, Mr. Bai Jingzhong. Please follow me."


    ---

    A plainly dressed man stood up first.

    Smiling politely...

    He walked toward the examiner.

    A short-haired young woman followed quietly.

    She remained slightly behind, looking rather nervous.

    Su Hao also stood.

    He walked directly toward the staff member.

    Unexpectedly...

    She completely ignored him.

    Looking around, she loudly called,

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong?"

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong, please come this way!"

    Standing right beside her...

    Su Hao calmly replied,

    "No need to shout."

    "I'm Bai Jingzhong."

    The girl lowered her head.

    Only then did she notice the child standing beside her.

    "...You're Mr. Bai Jingzhong?"

    "Yes."

    She hurriedly looked down at the registration form.

    Age:

    Nine years old.

    Her face immediately turned bright red.

    She had actually overlooked the most basic information.

    In all her years working here...

    She had never imagined that a nine-year-old child would appear for an official summoner certification.

    She had subconsciously assumed he was accompanying someone else.

    Feeling embarrassed, she quickly apologized.

    "I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Bai."

    "I really didn't expect..."

    "You're so young..."

    "I was rather rude."

    Su Hao merely nodded.

    "It's fine."


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Lu Shang and Luo Xiaoye both looked curiously at the little boy.

    A nine-year-old summoner?

    Most likely...

    A child carefully nurtured by some major family.


    ---

    The staff member quickly recovered her professional composure.

    "This way, please."

    She led the group through the building.

    Soon...

    They arrived at an enormous circular arena.

    Tier upon tier of spectator seats surrounded the central battlefield.

    Its layout resembled a football stadium.

    As soon as the three candidates entered...

    The audience immediately turned their attention toward them.

    Everyone knew...

    Another round of official summoner certification was about to begin.


    ---

    Most spectators weren't summoners.

    They were simply ordinary people.

    Watching summoned beasts fight was entertainment in itself.

    After all...

    If they couldn't become summoners...

    Watching others summon was the next best thing.

    Some actual summoners had also come.

    They observed the tests to gather firsthand data on various summoned beasts.

    But they were only a minority.

    The largest group...

    Was undoubtedly the reporters.

    They eagerly waited for something unusual to happen.

    A rare summoned beast.

    A shocking performance.

    Anything capable of becoming tomorrow's headline.

    After all...

    News wasn't about truth.

    It was about attention.

    Whoever wrote the most sensational article...

    Won.


    ---

    If Su Hao knew how many journalists were already aiming cameras at him...

    He could practically imagine tomorrow's headlines.

    "Shocking! Nine-Year-Old Appears at Official Summoner Certification!"

    "Impossible! Cameras Capture History in Yongxin City!"

    "Child Genius? Or the Youngest Summoner Ever?"

    He silently shook his head.

    "How noisy."
