Chapter 686 - 342 Tao Linlin’s Hesitation_2
Tao Linlin laughed bitterly, "I initially thought that my progress was already quite quick. But it turns out, I still lack accumulated strength! After all, it’s impossible to make up for the age gap. Do you know, among our Soul Temple, there are three seniors of the 8th Rank. Being a summoner, the difference between the 8th and 7th Rank is like night and day, the magical beasts they can summon are way stronger. It is quite hard to resist. Apart from them, the ones who are participating in the competition this time have almost all received assistance from our teachers. They have gathered up a collection of powerful summoned beasts, so I find it will be quite challenging for me to make it to the top six."
Long Dangdang knew that the number of competitors from the Soul Temple was relatively fewer, but this didn’t mean that their individual strengths weren’t strong. As Tao Linlin said, there were three at the 8th Rank, and currently, all six seed players were present. The next round will decide the top six, Tao Linlin probably had to face one of the seed players, maybe even an 8th Rank one. No wonder he appeared to have no confidence. After all, whether it was a spirit furnace or equipment, he didn’t have any significant advantages.
Without a doubt, among Demon Hunter Team 19115897, the knights are the strongest. Yes, the knights. Even combined, the Long brothers were definitely the strongest in the team, followed by the priest, then the mage and the warrior. The summoner and the assassin were the weakest links.
Tao Linlin had once been in the limelight for a short time due to having a wyvern summoned beast, but ever since his teammates’ cultivation levels had all come up, he had unknowingly started to lag behind a little again. He had thought that he became much stronger after getting to the 7th Rank, but in this competition, he really saw the strong young generation of our temple. However, being of spirit furnace academia background, he certainly had disadvantage in age. He was only four years older than the Long brothers. Based on his current cultivation speed, it should be no problem for him to reach the 8th Rank by the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight. But aiming for the top six right now is indeed challenging.
By this time, Ling Menglu had already walked over, "Our progress is so fast that we didn’t have time to secure better summoned beasts for senior Tao."
For a summoner, the summoned birth sign beast is undoubtedly the most important. However, apart from this, a contracted summoned beast is also important, but this requires accumulation. Summoned beasts purely summoned through magic fields take longer and require a certain amount of luck. Therefore, the most direct way to enhance a summoner’s strength is to help him have contracted summoned beasts that are relatively strong and under control.
There’s no doubt that many summoners have received help from their teachers and have gotten quite a few powerful contracted summoned beasts for this contest. But Tao Linlin’s teacher had gone on a mission and was not at headquarters.
Long Dangdang suddenly had an idea, he leaned over and whispered something in Tao Linlin’s ear.
After hearing it, Tao Linlin became stunned for a moment, "Isn’t that... not right? Could that be considered as cheating?"
