    Chapter 265

    The footage of Su Hao's first-round battle spread across the internet like wildfire.

    Within hours, it had been reposted millions of times.

    What captivated viewers wasn't only the breathtaking speed with which he had crushed his opponent.

    It was also his summoned beasts.

    No one had ever seen creatures like them before.


    ---

    Soon afterward, someone unearthed the recording of Su Hao's Advanced Summoner certification in Yongxin City.

    The two videos were compared frame by frame.

    Professional summoners.

    Researchers.

    Battle analysts.

    Even ordinary enthusiasts joined the discussion.

    People began carefully dissecting every ability each summoned beast had displayed.

    Only then did everyone realize...

    Those beautiful-looking creatures were far more terrifying than they had first appeared.


    ---

    The contestants in Arena Thirteen reacted even faster.

    They replayed Su Hao's battle repeatedly.

    Then they compared their own summoned beast lineups against his.

    The conclusion was almost unanimous.

    Unless Bai Jingzhong suddenly forgot how to command his summoned beasts...

    There was only one possible outcome.

    Defeat.

    Complete defeat.

    For the remaining competitors...

    The only thing worth praying for was that they would never be matched against Contestant 13661.


    ---

    At the same time...

    Su Hao officially entered the attention of the world's highest-ranking organizations.

    Their curiosity wasn't directed toward the young boy himself.

    It was directed toward his summoned beasts.

    These organizations possessed information networks beyond ordinary imagination.

    Every known summoned beast...

    Every recorded mutation...

    Every documented evolution...

    Every rare species...

    All had complete files.

    Yet...

    None of Su Hao's ten summoned beasts existed anywhere in their databases.

    That...

    Was abnormal.


    ---

    Within only a few hours...

    A specialized research team was established.

    Their mission was simple.

    Determine the origin of Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts.

    After an intensive investigation, three preliminary conclusions emerged.

    First.

    These summoned beasts had evolved from ordinary low-ranking summoned beasts such as the Sawtooth Guinea Pig and the Long-Tailed White Fox.

    Second.

    There was a small possibility that they represented previously undiscovered species from the Secondary Star.

    The probability of this explanation was considered extremely low.

    Third.

    Because several different beasts displayed abilities with remarkably similar characteristics...

    The highest probability was that they were biologically modified summoned beasts.

    This final conclusion quickly became the team's primary hypothesis.


    ---

    Alongside the report...

    Another document was submitted.

    It contained Bai Jingzhong's complete personal history.

    Every page seemed to radiate one word.

    Genius.


    ---

    Council Member Pan Fengxuan of the Summoner Association quietly read through the report.

    Even someone who had witnessed countless prodigies over the years found himself slightly surprised.


    ---

    Name: Bai Jingzhong

    Gender: Male

    Age: Nine years and eight months

    Residence: Morning Sun Courtyard, Yongxin City

    Background: Abandoned infant. Adopted by Bai Wan'er.

    Chronology

    On August 23, 3902...

    His summoner talent was tested for the first time.

    Result:

    Ordinary.

    A few days later...

    A second examination was conducted.

    Result:

    A-rank or higher.

    Subsequent analysis suggested his true aptitude had likely reached the Super S-Rank.


    ---

    From September 3902 onward...

    He studied under Advanced Summoner Fu Leyi.

    He completed nearly every book in the elementary library through self-study.

    Graduated early.

    Skipped grades repeatedly.

    Applied for graduation again after only half a year.

    Continued studying independently.


    ---

    Below the chronological record...

    Several unresolved questions were listed.

    Question One.

    Where did his ten summoned beasts come from?

    Question Two.

    Why had Morning Sun Beauty Salon successfully transformed more than thirty clients over the past two years?

    Question Three.

    ...


    ---

    Pan Fengxuan closed the file.

    A faint smile appeared.

    "No matter how you look at it..."

    "This child truly is a once-in-a-generation genius."

    "And not merely in summoning talent."


    ---

    He looked toward his assistant.

    "Once tomorrow's matches conclude..."

    "Contact him."

    "Bring him over."


    ---

    The young woman wearing glasses nodded.

    "Understood, Council Member."

    After hesitating briefly, she asked,

    "Why wait until tomorrow?"

    "If the Custodial Bureau reaches him first..."

    "Wouldn't we lose the opportunity?"


    ---

    Pan Fengxuan chuckled.

    "No."

    "They won't."

    "The conditions we can offer..."

    "He won't reject."

    He leaned comfortably against his chair.

    "Besides..."

    "To a child who has grown up listening to heroic stories..."

    "The Summoner Association represents justice."

    "We are the heroes."

    "The Custodial Bureau..."

    "...is merely a business."

    He laughed softly.


    ---

    The assistant smiled knowingly.

    She understood exactly what Pan Fengxuan meant.

    No matter how gifted a child was...

    They were still children.

    Compared with the seasoned negotiators of the Custodial Bureau...

    The Association possessed a natural psychological advantage.


    ---

    That very evening...

    Representatives from the Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau located Su Hao's hotel.

    Rather than approaching him directly...

    They chose a far more polite method.

    A hotel employee delivered an invitation.


    ---

    Knock.

    Knock.

    Knock.


    ---

    "I'm a hotel staff member."

    "May I ask if Mr. Bai Jingzhong is staying here?"


    ---

    Yashan opened the door.

    "What is it?"


    ---

    The employee smiled professionally.

    "A representative from the Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau left this invitation downstairs."

    "He hopes to meet Mr. Bai."

    "If Mr. Bai agrees..."

    "Please come to Room 808 on the thirtieth floor."


    ---

    Yashan accepted the envelope.

    After thanking the employee...

    He closed the door.


    ---

    "Boss."

    "Someone wants to see you."


    ---

    Su Hao opened his eyes.

    He accepted the invitation.

    After reading it once...

    He smiled.

    "Jingyi."

    "You stay here."

    "Keep an eye on Sister Bai and everyone else."

    "I'll be back shortly."


    ---

    Yashan immediately nodded.

    "Leave it to me."


    ---

    Su Hao rode the elevator to the thirtieth floor.

    A waiting employee immediately escorted him toward Room 808.


    ---

    Inside...

    A bald middle-aged man with a large belly stood up enthusiastically.

    His smile was brilliant.

    He immediately extended both hands.

    "Mr. Bai!"

    "What an honor."

    "I've wanted to meet you ever since I watched today's battle."

    "It was absolutely spectacular."

    "Please..."

    "Come."

    "Sit."


    ---

    He personally pulled out a chair for Su Hao.

    Only after Su Hao had taken his seat did the man suddenly slap his forehead.

    "Oh!"

    "How rude of me."

    "I forgot to introduce myself."

    He laughed awkwardly before pouring tea.

    "My name is Chen Qingsheng."

    "I'm the Business Development Manager of the Summoned Beast Custodial Bureau."

    "I've always enjoyed making friends with talented people."

    "And among all the talented youngsters I've seen..."

    "Mr. Bai..."

    "You're undoubtedly among the very best."


    ---

    While speaking...

    Chen Qingsheng quietly observed Su Hao.

    Something immediately felt wrong.

    The intelligence report described Bai Jingzhong as someone obsessed with studying.

    Quiet.

    Reserved.

    Socially detached.

    Yet the boy sitting across from him...

    Displayed none of those characteristics.

    He wasn't nervous.

    He wasn't excited.

    Nor was he overly cautious.

    Instead...

    He simply smiled calmly while listening.

    Like an experienced negotiator who had attended countless business meetings.

    Strange...

    This doesn't match the report at all.


    ---

    Su Hao casually rotated the teacup between his fingers.

    Then he smiled.

    "Manager Chen."

    "Thank you for your praise."

    "But I don't particularly enjoy excessive compliments."

    "They usually sound insincere."

    "So..."

    "If you have something to say..."

    "Say it directly."

    "State your offer."

    "If the price is satisfactory..."

    "Everything can be discussed."


    ---

    Chen Qingsheng's heart tightened.

    Originally...

    He hadn't expected Bai Jingzhong to accept the invitation at all.

    The letter had merely been the first step of a longer plan.

    Unexpectedly...

    The boy had come immediately.

    And after only a few sentences...

    The initiative had completely shifted into Bai Jingzhong's hands.

    This child...

    He's difficult.

    Very difficult.


    ---

    Chen Qingsheng immediately adjusted his attitude.

    Smiling, he spoke frankly.

    "Very well."

    "Mr. Bai."

    "Have you ever considered placing your summoned beasts under the care of our Custodial Bureau?"

    "You needn't worry about the fees."

    "I can waive every single one."

    "Money isn't important."

    "I simply hope we can become friends."


    ---

    Su Hao looked directly into his eyes.

    "If I entrust my summoned beasts to your bureau..."

    "What exactly do I gain?"


    ---

    Chen Qingsheng cautiously replied,

    "What... would you like?"


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "There is no need to ask."

    "What I want..."

    "...is your technology."

    Chen Qingsheng's smile froze.
