    Chapter 260

    Su Hao continued calmly,

    "The second skill..."

    "Rip."

    The King of the Sawtoothed Guinea Pigs walked lightly toward a massive alloy testing pillar.

    It slowly extended one claw...

    And casually dragged it across the metal surface.

    Screech—!

    An ear-piercing scraping sound echoed throughout the arena.

    Everyone instinctively shivered.

    Several deep claw marks appeared on the alloy pillar.

    This wasn't ordinary steel.

    It was a specially manufactured high-strength alloy used exclusively for summoned beast testing.

    Yet beneath those claws...

    It was as soft as tofu.

    Someone swallowed nervously.

    "That summoned beast didn't look very dangerous..."

    "I didn't expect it to be this terrifying..."


    ---

    Su Hao continued.

    "The third skill..."

    "Ultra-High Speed."

    The Speed Demon crouched slightly.

    Then—

    Whoosh!

    It vanished.

    Completely vanished.

    The next instant...

    It was already standing at the opposite end of the enormous testing arena.

    Everyone froze.

    Including the three examiners.

    Including Lu Shang.

    Including Luo Xiaoye.

    Every pair of eyes widened.

    "What..."

    "Where did it go?"

    "Teleportation?"

    "No!"

    "It moved!"

    "It's just..."

    "It's too fast!"

    "We couldn't see it at all!"


    ---

    Even the examiners hurriedly stood up.

    "Replay the surveillance footage!"

    "Immediately!"

    The staff quickly slowed the recording to one-hundredth speed.

    Only then...

    Did the Speed Demon's movement become visible.

    Silence filled the arena.

    Moments later...

    One shocked voice after another sounded.

    "Incredible..."

    "That speed completely surpasses normal visual perception."

    "If a summoner exposed themselves during battle..."

    "They'd be dead before realizing they'd been attacked."

    "There wouldn't even be time to react."

    One reporter's eyes lit up.

    "This is a completely new summoned beast!"

    "As soon as I upload this..."

    "The article is guaranteed to explode!"


    ---

    Su Hao simply smiled.

    "The fourth skill..."

    "Invisibility."

    The Speed Demon instantly disappeared.

    Not merely becoming transparent—

    It vanished completely.

    No trace remained.

    The next moment...

    Deep claw marks suddenly appeared across various testing instruments.

    Slash after slash.

    Yet no one could locate the beast itself.

    The audience gradually reached the same conclusion.

    That summoned beast...

    Was nearly impossible to defeat.

    And if the summoned beast was this terrifying...

    Then what about its master?

    Everyone instinctively looked toward the quiet nine-year-old standing calmly in the arena.

    Their expressions had completely changed.

    Jealousy?

    There was none.

    The gap between them was simply too enormous.

    This child...

    Was destined to stand among the strongest people in the world.

    Of course...

    That was assuming he survived long enough.

    Every year...

    Numerous genius summoners died before reaching adulthood.

    People had grown almost numb to such news.

    If an entire year passed without hearing about some prodigy dying...

    Some would actually find it unusual.

    The world never stopped turning for the sake of a single genius.


    ---

    After demonstrating four skills...

    The Speed Demon had already far exceeded the standards of a B-Class summoned beast.

    Su Hao stopped.

    He looked toward the examiners.

    The chief examiner immediately announced,

    "The King of the Sawtoothed Guinea Pigs..."

    "Rank..."

    "Above B-Class."

    "Qualified."


    ---

    Next came the remaining summoned beasts.

    One after another...

    Su Hao demonstrated their abilities.

    Gradually...

    The audience became numb.

    They discovered that the Speed Demon wasn't the only monster.

    The enormous muscular rabbit was almost unstoppable in direct combat.

    The golden-furred monkey had filled the entire battlefield with nearly invisible razor-thin threads.

    Anyone touching them would be sliced apart.

    The magnificent mountain phoenix freely flew through both sky and earth.

    The ethereal white fox seemed almost immune to physical attacks.

    Each summoned beast possessed abilities unlike anything anyone had ever seen.

    The spectators silently remembered one name.

    Bai Jingzhong.


    ---

    When Su Hao finally received his Advanced Summoner badge...

    And calmly walked out of the arena under Lu Shang's envious gaze...

    The entire stadium remained strangely quiet.

    Everyone was still processing what they had witnessed.

    Then...

    The silence exploded.

    Discussions erupted everywhere.

    Arguments broke out.

    Voices overlapped throughout the arena.

    Some clever reporters didn't even stay.

    They immediately rushed outside.

    The faster they published...

    The more money they would earn.

    Potential headlines had already formed in countless minds.

    "Nine-Year-Old Genius Summoner Astonishes Yongxin City!"

    "Ten Unknown S-Class Summoned Beasts Appear!"

    "A New Star Rises!"


    ---

    Walking out of the Summoner Tower...

    Su Hao casually spun his new Advanced Summoner badge between his fingers.

    A faint smile appeared on his face.

    This certification had never been his real objective.

    Two months later...

    The World Summoner All-Star Championship would be held in Shengshi City.

    Only Advanced Summoners were qualified to register.

    The tournament was broadcast across the entire world.

    It was the highest stage every summoner dreamed of reaching.

    Anyone who entered the Top Sixteen would instantly become world-famous.

    What Su Hao wanted...

    Was exactly that.

    Fame.

    His goal wasn't merely participating.

    He intended to take first place.

    Only by standing at the center of the world's attention...

    Could he naturally enter the sights of every major organization.

    The Summoner Association.

    The Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau.

    Even the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    Once they began investigating him...

    He would, in turn, investigate them.

    By following the connections...

    He could gradually uncover their hidden bases...

    Their research facilities...

    And eventually...

    Obtain the technologies he truly wanted.


    ---

    Violence was certainly an option.

    It always had been.

    But simply beating people into submission rarely produced knowledge.

    If pushed too far...

    People would rather destroy their research than hand it over.

    Besides...

    He still had no idea where the Custodial Bureau's true headquarters were located.

    He had already tried investigating them.

    He even entrusted one of his summoned beasts to a Custodial Bureau facility.

    Repeatedly summoning and returning it...

    He carefully studied every change.

    The only discovery was a tiny chip implanted into the summoned beast's spine.

    Little Light had analyzed it countless times.

    The chip merely generated a peculiar force field.

    Understanding what it did...

    Didn't mean understanding how it worked.

    Nor did it reveal the machinery operating behind the system.

    Clearly...

    The real secret remained hidden elsewhere.


    ---

    As for becoming too famous...

    Su Hao didn't care.

    As long as he didn't threaten the world's fundamental interests...

    The major powers would only attempt to recruit him.

    If recruitment failed...

    They might attempt assassination.

    Unfortunately...

    Assassination was the one thing he feared the least.

    Strength...

    Was confidence.

    "Act boldly..."

    "Live cautiously."

    "That is the safest approach."


    ---

    That evening...

    After returning to the Morning Sun Courtyard...

    Su Hao informed Sister Bai of his intention to participate in the World Summoner All-Star Championship.

    She was genuinely surprised.

    Not because she doubted his strength.

    Whether he won or lost...

    Competitions were perfectly normal.

    What surprised her...

    Was Su Hao himself.

    He had always avoided unnecessary attention.

    Compared to children his age...

    He was exceptionally low-profile.

    Why would he suddenly volunteer to stand beneath the world's spotlight?

    Had he changed?


    ---

    Faced with her questioning...

    Su Hao simply smiled.

    "I just want to broaden my horizons."

    People changed.

    Circumstances changed.

    Previously...

    His goal had been learning.

    Learning required peace and quiet.

    Now...

    His path forward had temporarily reached a dead end.

    If knowledge wouldn't come to him...

    He would go find it himself.

    Whether those organizations cooperated willingly...

    Or unwillingly...

    Would depend on how events unfolded.


    ---

    Sister Bai suddenly remembered something.

    "But..."

    "To enter the All-Star Championship..."

    "You must already be an Advanced Summoner."

    Without saying a word...

    Su Hao quietly placed his newly acquired Advanced Summoner badge on the table.

    Sister Bai stared at it.

    Speechless.

    After a long silence...

    She suddenly made up her mind.

    "Then..."

    "I'll take you there."

    Su Hao blinked.

    "What about the orphanage?"

    Sister Bai waved her hand grandly.

    "We've saved enough money."

    "There are twenty-five of us."

    "We're all going to Shengshi City together!"

    Su Hao immediately gave her a thumbs-up.

    "Sister Bai..."

    "Magnificent."
