Chapter 259

The testing process is straightforward, requiring the verification of three points.

1. The summoned creature must be personally summoned by the individual, measured with specialized instruments.

2. The summoned creature must be fully controlled by the summoner, with the summoner drawing lots to determine specific activities.

3. The summoned creature must be at least B-rank, displaying a minimum of three skills per creature.

Meeting these three criteria, the summoner’s level is assessed based on the simultaneously controlled creatures.

Lushang, the guy with the flat top, is the first to undergo the test. He enters a designated area, and after confirmation from the examiner, begins the focused summoning!

The air in front distorts, and the first summoned creature appears—bull-like in form, nearly three meters tall, with a sleek body and well-defined muscular contours. Most notably, it boasts a long, striking horn on its forehead.

Onlookers immediately get excited, exclaiming, “Wow, this is an A-rank summon, the Horned Cone Bull!”

Someone quickly checks online for information: “This Horned Cone Bull, despite its three-meter height, is an A-rank summon with five skills!”

“The skills are ‘Charge,’ ‘Quick Start,’ ‘Rapid Turn,’ ‘Defense Enhancement,’ and ‘Iron Hoof.’ The most formidable is its Charge; it can pierce through steel plates ten centimeters thick! Comparable to armor-piercing sniper rounds!”

Su Hao also recognizes this A-rank summon, the Horned Cone Bull, specifically used for breaking defenses. He wonders why others can summon A-rank creatures, while he, after numerous attempts, only gets C-rank and D-rank ones.

Is he just unlucky? At least summoning a B-rank creature would be acceptable!

Su Hao is determined to go to the secondary star sooner or later, personally capturing several S-rank summons!

Lushang is satisfied with the attention his Horned Cone Bull has garnered, but the real show is yet to come!

He smirks confidently and summons his second creature, a common B-rank Frost Iron Wolf, drawing little attention. The third and fourth creatures, similarly, are only B-rank summons.

When the fifth creature appears, everyone’s attention is focused!

As long as the fifth creature is B-rank or higher, Lushang will become an intermediate summoner—a near certainty.

Soon, Lushang’s fifth summoned creature makes its entrance!

“Oh my God! What do I see? This is the Long Feathers Giant Bird, an extremely rare A-rank summon, priceless!”

“This guy’s luck is insane! To summon this, he’s really impressive! Insane luck!”

“Probably some young master from a big family? A group of people helped him summon, and he got the good stuff!”

“Indeed, summoning a rare A-rank creature on your own is like winning a ten million-dollar lottery.”

Clearly, this long-tailed giant bird is extremely rare, making the visit worthwhile for those who bought tickets today. They eagerly take out cameras to capture the moment.

These five summons are all that Lushang has, and showcasing his beloved pets, earning expressions of astonishment from the crowd, brings him great joy.

Next comes the drawing of lots, executing actions written on the lots—only the summoner and three testers can see, ensuring the creatures are controlled by the summoner himself.

Finally, the examiners determine whether the five creatures meet the B-rank requirement.

In the end, the guy with the flat top earns his new title—Intermediate Summoner.

As he receives his new badge, he excitedly shouts on the spot.

Meanwhile, a group of journalists aims their cameras at this newly minted Intermediate Summoner, and the headlines for tomorrow are already taking shape.

The next one in line is a girl with short hair. Despite her soft appearance, her five summoned creatures are exceptionally tall and fierce. Standing together, they present a harmonious blend of beauty and beasts.

However, these formidable creatures are all B-rank summons, lacking any particularly outstanding ones. Nevertheless, after evaluation, she successfully attains the title of Intermediate Summoner, earning a new badge.

Next up is Su Hao.

As Su Hao enters, he immediately captures everyone’s attention.

“Huh? Why is it a little kid?”

“Could it be an adult with a baby face!” This person surprisingly guessed right.

“Just a kid for sure, probably here for fun. Wealthy family, can’t stop them.”

“Must be a prodigy summoner, here to evaluate the novice summoners. Tsk tsk, looks like he’s only ten! Becoming a novice summoner at such a young age, geniuses are different from ordinary people!”

After reaching the designated area, the testers signal that he can start summoning.

Su Hao, without closing his eyes, causes a vast distortion in the space in front of him. One by one, colorful and diverse summoned creatures appear!

Learning from experience, Su Hao doesn’t let his creatures appear in their original forms. Instead, he transforms them all into the highest-level forms of fourth and fifth-tier exotic beasts.

Various dazzling effects emerge, and creatures unfamiliar to everyone make their debut!

“One, two… Wow, more and more!!!”

“Ten! Summoned ten creatures in one go! This is the recognition of an advanced summoner!”

“Today’s visit was worthwhile!”

“What’s going on? Is this kid undergoing the evaluation for an advanced summoner?”

“Hiss—”

“By the way, why haven’t I seen any of these creatures? Look at that five-meter-tall rabbit with muscular contours all over… and that nearly ten-meter-tall muscular wolf. What are these, they look impressive!”

“That white fox, why does it have a misty, ethereal state all over, as if it would disperse with a single blow? Has anyone seen such a summoned creature?”

Those who were more clever began searching online for information about these summoned creatures. However, to their shock, there was no information available!

At this moment, the flat-headed guy and the short-haired girl have long been forgotten, and everyone is discussing the ten strange summoned creatures that appeared.

The most shocked are the three testers.

They exchange glances, noticing the confusion and panic in each other’s eyes!

What to do? Those impressive-looking summoned creatures in front, they have never seen them before. Will it be embarrassing during the evaluation of their levels?

Immediately, the three of them start thinking of how to encourage the other two to go and evaluate.

As authorities, they absolutely cannot go up and embarrass themselves!

At this moment, the oldest tester clears his throat and says to Su Hao, “Uh, Summoner Bai Jingzhong, go ahead and draw a lot!”

The other two immediately breathe a sigh of relief. The stage of evaluating the summoned creatures’ levels hasn’t arrived yet, and there’s still room for maneuvering.

Su Hao reaches out and draws a piece of paper, looking at it. There is a line of small words written on it.

“Control all summoned creatures to jump forward ten steps simultaneously, then roll in a circle and gather together (note: simultaneous execution).”

Su Hao thought, “This is simple!”

After handing the paper to the tester, he immediately manipulated the ten summoned creatures to perform the actions in perfect unison, without any hesitation.

This segment quickly concluded, and the next one was the level evaluation of the summoned creatures.

At this point, the testers had a plan and smiled, “So, next, let your summoned creatures showcase their skills! As long as each one reaches at least B-rank, you will be considered an advanced summoner!”

Regardless of the species, they were only responsible for testing the level. It was simple; just let the summoner showcase the creatures themselves.

Another tester excitedly added, “If successful, you might become the current youngest advanced summoner!”

A nine-year-old advanced summoner succeeding in their test meant something significant for them.

They were about to gain recognition!

Then, they heard a voice from a nearby little boy, “First of all, the first one is my A-rank summoned creature, the King of Giant Guinea Pigs!”

As Su Hao finished speaking, everyone turned their gaze to the upright, two-meter-tall rodent-headed creature.

After transforming into the 【Speed Demon】, the appearance of the King of Giant Guinea Pigs had changed significantly. Its fur clung tightly to its body, giving a sleek sensation similar to a seal. The originally round giant guinea pig now had a robust and elongated physique. Its leg muscles were prominently outlined, moving up and down like a coiled spring, seemingly ready to shoot out at any moment!

Long, sharp claws extended from its upper limbs, gleaming with a dazzling light in the sunlight.

“King of Giant Guinea Pigs? What kind of summoned creature is this?”

A question popped into everyone’s minds.

Su Hao continued, “The first skill, ‘High-Frequency Vibration.'”

The double claws of the King of Giant Guinea Pigs immediately started vibrating at a high frequency.

“Hum~”

A somewhat heart-throbbing sound echoed. Although low, it instinctively conveyed a sense of danger.

Su Hao controlled the King of Giant Guinea Pigs to extend its claws and touch the metal disc placed for testing on the side.

“Bang!”

At the moment the high-frequency claws of the King of Giant Guinea Pigs touched the metal disc, it suddenly emitted a muffled sound and flew backward.

“Humming~”

The metal disc that fell to the ground continued to vibrate, producing a sound that made people’s bones go soft.

“Hiss—”

Seeing this, everyone collectively gasped.

The three testers exchanged glances and nodded, “First skill!”

    Chapter 259

    The certification process was straightforward.

    Only three things needed to be verified.

    First: The summoned beasts had to be personally summoned by the applicant. Specialized instruments would verify this.

    Second: Every summoned beast had to be under the applicant's complete control. The summoner would draw a random task and have all summoned beasts execute it simultaneously.

    Third: Every summoned beast counted toward the certification had to be at least B-Class, possessing three or more innate skills.

    Once these conditions were satisfied, the summoner's rank was determined according to the number of qualified summoned beasts under simultaneous control.


    ---

    The first candidate was the flat-topped young man—Lu Shang.

    After entering the designated area and receiving the examiner's approval, he began summoning.

    Space rippled.

    A huge beast emerged.

    It resembled a bull, nearly three meters tall.

    Its body was sleek and muscular, and an enormous conical horn projected from its forehead.

    The spectators immediately became excited.

    "Wow!"

    "An A-Class summoned beast!"

    "The Horned Cone Bull!"

    Someone quickly searched for information online.

    "The Horned Cone Bull is A-Class despite only being three meters tall."

    "It possesses five skills."

    "Charge, Quick Start, Rapid Turn, Defense Enhancement, and Iron Hoof."

    "Its Charge can pierce through a ten-centimeter steel plate."

    "It's comparable to an anti-materiel sniper round!"


    ---

    Su Hao naturally recognized it.

    The Horned Cone Bull specialized in breaking defensive formations.

    He couldn't help wondering again...

    Why could everyone else naturally summon A-Class beasts...

    While after countless summons...

    He had only ever obtained C-Class and below?

    Was his luck really that bad?

    At least one naturally summoned B-Class beast would've been nice.

    Sooner or later...

    He decided...

    He would personally travel to the secondary world and capture several genuine S-Class beasts himself.


    ---

    Lu Shang clearly enjoyed the audience's admiration.

    However...

    The real performance had only just begun.

    With a confident smile...

    He summoned his second beast.

    A common B-Class Frost Iron Wolf.

    The audience's excitement immediately dropped.

    The third...

    Another ordinary B-Class.

    The fourth...

    Still B-Class.

    Everyone's attention focused on the fifth summon.

    If it was also B-Class or above...

    Lu Shang would officially become an Intermediate Summoner.

    Space distorted again.

    A gigantic bird slowly emerged.

    The audience instantly exploded.

    "My god!"

    "That's a Long-Plumed Giant Bird!"

    "A rare A-Class summoned beast!"

    "It's practically priceless!"

    "This guy's luck is outrageous!"

    "Summoning something like this is unbelievable!"

    Someone muttered quietly,

    "He must be from one of the major families."

    "A whole group probably helped him summon."

    "Otherwise the chance is like winning a ten-million-yuan lottery."


    ---

    Cameras flashed continuously.

    Many reporters had already decided tomorrow's headline.

    Lu Shang proudly displayed all five summoned beasts.

    Seeing everyone's astonished expressions...

    He couldn't have been happier.


    ---

    Next came the control examination.

    The summoner drew a random instruction.

    Only the summoner and the three examiners could read it.

    This prevented cheating while verifying genuine mental control.

    Finally...

    The examiners confirmed the grades of all five summoned beasts.

    Everything qualified.

    Lu Shang officially became...

    An Intermediate Summoner.

    Receiving his new badge...

    He excitedly raised it high.

    Nearby reporters immediately surrounded him with cameras.


    ---

    The second candidate...

    The short-haired girl...

    Appeared gentle and quiet.

    Yet every one of her summoned beasts was enormous and ferocious.

    Beauty standing among monsters.

    The contrast was striking.

    Unfortunately...

    All five were merely ordinary B-Class beasts.

    None were especially outstanding.

    Still...

    They all met the requirements.

    She too successfully obtained the title of Intermediate Summoner.


    ---

    Then...

    It was Su Hao's turn.

    The moment the small boy stepped into the arena...

    The audience became curious.

    "Huh?"

    "A kid?"

    "Maybe he's just a baby-faced adult."

    Someone beside him immediately shook his head.

    "No."

    "That's definitely a child."

    "He probably came to certify as a Trainee Summoner."

    Another spectator nodded.

    "He looks nine or ten."

    "Becoming a Trainee Summoner this young is already incredible."


    ---

    The examiner gestured.

    "You may begin."

    Su Hao didn't even close his eyes.

    Space distorted violently before him.

    One after another...

    Summoned beasts emerged.

    Unlike before...

    Su Hao deliberately summoned every beast in its fully evolved form.

    Level Four.

    Level Five.

    One majestic creature after another stepped into the arena.

    Their appearances were unlike anything anyone had ever seen.

    The audience instinctively began counting.

    "One..."

    "Two..."

    "Three..."

    "..."

    "..."

    "Ten!!"

    "He summoned ten beasts at once!"

    "That's the requirement for an Advanced Summoner!"

    "This trip was worth every cent!"

    "Is this kid really taking the Advanced Summoner examination?"

    Someone inhaled sharply.

    "Wait..."

    "What exactly are those beasts?"

    "That rabbit..."

    "It's almost five meters tall and covered in muscles!"

    "And that wolf..."

    "It's nearly ten meters long!"

    "What kind of summoned beast is that?"

    Another pointed at the fox.

    "The white fox..."

    "It almost looks transparent."

    "It's like drifting mist."

    "Has anyone ever seen a summoned beast like that?"


    ---

    Many immediately searched the online databases.

    Nothing.

    Not a single match.

    None of the creatures existed in any official records.


    ---

    At this point...

    Lu Shang and the short-haired girl had already been completely forgotten.

    Everyone's attention centered entirely on Su Hao's mysterious summoned beast legion.

    The most uncomfortable people...

    Were the three examiners.

    They exchanged nervous glances.

    Each saw exactly the same expression on the others' faces.

    Confusion.

    And panic.

    They had never seen any of these summoned beasts before.

    How were they supposed to evaluate them?

    If they made fools of themselves in public...

    Their reputations would be ruined.

    The oldest examiner quickly recovered.

    Clearing his throat, he said,

    "Summoner Bai Jingzhong."

    "Please draw your control task first."

    The other two secretly sighed in relief.

    At least...

    The troublesome grading part could wait a little longer.


    ---

    Su Hao reached into the box.

    He unfolded the slip.

    It read:

    > Control all summoned beasts to simultaneously jump forward ten steps, roll once, then gather together. All movements must be synchronized.



    Su Hao thought,

    "Simple enough."

    After handing the paper back...

    He merely issued one mental command.

    Instantly—

    All ten summoned beasts leaped forward together.

    Ten steps.

    One synchronized roll.

    Then they regrouped into perfect formation.

    Every movement...

    Perfectly synchronized.

    Not even the slightest delay.

    The examiners nodded repeatedly.

    "Excellent."

    "Control confirmed."


    ---

    Now came the final step.

    Evaluating summoned beast rank.

    Having already thought of a solution...

    One examiner smiled.

    "Please have each summoned beast demonstrate its abilities."

    "As long as every one reaches B-Class or above..."

    "You'll officially qualify as an Advanced Summoner."

    Another examiner couldn't help adding excitedly,

    "If successful..."

    "You'll become the youngest Advanced Summoner currently on record."

    If a nine-year-old Advanced Summoner emerged under their supervision...

    Their own careers would benefit enormously.


    ---

    At that moment...

    Su Hao calmly spoke.

    "My first summoned beast..."

    "The King of Sawtoothed Guinea Pigs."

    Everyone's eyes turned toward the upright rodent-like creature.

    After evolving into the Speed Demon, its appearance had changed drastically.

    Its once-round body had become streamlined and athletic.

    Every muscle was perfectly defined.

    Its powerful legs resembled compressed springs.

    Its long claws gleamed like polished blades beneath the sunlight.

    Someone whispered,

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

    "What kind of summoned beast is that?"


    ---

    Su Hao continued calmly.

    "First skill."

    "High-Frequency Vibration."

    The Speed Demon's claws immediately began vibrating.

    "Hummmmm—"

    A deep vibration spread throughout the arena.

    The sound wasn't loud...

    Yet everyone instinctively felt danger.

    Su Hao pointed toward the heavy metal testing target nearby.

    The Speed Demon casually extended one claw.

    It lightly touched the metal disc.

    BOOM!

    The enormous steel target exploded backward like it had been struck by artillery.

    After crashing onto the ground...

    It continued vibrating violently.

    "Hummmmm—"

    The strange resonance made everyone's bones feel numb.

    The entire arena fell silent.

    Then—

    A collective gasp echoed through the stands.

    "Hiss—"

    The three examiners exchanged glances.

    They all nodded simultaneously.

    "First skill..."

    "Confirmed."
