Chapter 47: The Fourth Summoned Beast! The Three-Tailed Demon Fox!
【Space Stone: Grants one additional Summoned Beast Space after use. For Summoners only.】
The moment he received the reward, Ye Ze used it without a second thought.
【Ding! Space Stone used successfully!】
【Current Summoned Beast Space: (3/4)】
As expected, he now had one additional empty Summoned Beast Space.
After that, Ye Ze looked toward the other reward.
It was an Epic six-star Summoning Skill Book!
As expected of a Group Dungeon’s personal exclusive reward, it was practically a complete package. Both the space and the summoned beast had been prepared for him.
Of course, if Ye Ze had not received an SSS personal evaluation, there was no way his reward would have been this generous.
Among all Group Dungeon MVPs, Ye Ze’s reward was absolutely in a league of its own.
And the moment he saw the Skill Book, he felt the reward’s value rise even higher...
【Summoning Skill Book — Three-Tailed Demon Fox】
“My spellcaster summoned beast has arrived!”
Among mage-type summoned beasts, foxes were already considered upper-middle tier.
And as for this Three-Tailed Demon Fox, it was even recorded in biology textbooks...
Their innate talent, Three Tails, allowed them to store three extra skill charges.
In battle, the same skill could be cast an additional three times in succession!
It was the very definition of battlefield firepower suppression.
This one talent alone was enough to make the Three-Tailed Demon Fox one of the top-tier mage-type summoned beasts!
And according to rumor, there were even Six-Tailed and Nine-Tailed forms beyond it... though no one had ever actually seen them.
With a summoned beast like this in front of him, Ye Ze naturally learned it on the spot.
【Ding! You have obtained a summoned beast: Three-Tailed Demon Fox!】
【Current Summoned Beast Space: (4/4)】
Inside the Summoned Beast Space that had just been empty, a little white fox now appeared, her fur flawless and snow-white.
She was very small. Not counting her tail, she was only about fifty centimeters long. Yet her bearing was graceful, and her fox eyes were deep and sly, filled with a vivid, intelligent beauty.
“Master~”
The little fox’s voice was sweet, clear, and ethereal, like soft silver bells chiming.
Ye Ze sucked in a sharp breath.
“It seems... perhaps King Zhou was not entirely to blame...”
He suddenly felt compelled to speak in King Zhou’s defense.
But beauty aside, what truly matched the little fox’s charm were her attributes and skills:
【Three-Tailed Demon Fox】
Grade: Epic☆☆☆☆☆☆
Level: 11 (same as the Summoner’s level)
Attributes: Strength 80, Constitution 120, Agility 140, Spirit 240
Talents: Three Tails (Epic), Fox Spirit Heart (Epic)
Skills: Foxfire lv.5 (Epic), Glamour Step lv.5 (Epic)
————
A Spirit-specialized summoned beast, with a full 240 Spirit!
Most summoned beasts that specialized in a single attribute were far stronger than those that developed evenly across the board.
That was especially true for mage-type summons.
Ye Ze then taught the little fox Heavenfall Thunder, giving her another powerful offensive skill.
At this point, the outline of his summoned-beast lineup had finally begun to take shape.
A warrior, an assassin, a mage, and a support.
Of course, compared to the lineups of truly top-tier Summoners, Ye Ze’s team composition was still far from complete.
But after all, he had not yet broken through to first rank, and his Summoned Beast Space was still limited.
“Once I get out, I need to think about that advancement quest.”
“Defeat five rare first-rank classes in a row...”
Advancing to first rank would give him two more Summoned Beast Spaces and one Summoner-exclusive skill.
Otherwise, even the growth attributes of both himself and his summoned beasts would be heavily reduced.
...
Outside the dungeon, Wan Feipeng and Wu Ming were still facing off against one another, drawing countless curious onlookers.
“Old Dog Wu, Dongwu City has already produced so many talents, and you still want to come here and steal mine?”
Wan Feipeng snorted coldly, but Wu Ming only answered with a faint smile.
“Who would ever complain about having too many talents?”
“Besides, do you really think you can raise talent? You would even manage to raise a goldfish to death.”
Wan Feipeng exploded. “Bullshit!”
At that point, someone nearby could not help whispering in confusion, “Do these two really need to fight over him? Aren’t they both from the East China Region?”
“That just shows how shallow your view is. Within the East China Region, or even the country as a whole, there really is no need to fight over ordinary resources... but when it comes to Abyss exploration and the contest over World Dungeons, every last one of those things depends on strong people!”
“If no one explores the Abyss and no one fights for World Dungeons, where do resources and materials come from? Without resources, you cannot even advance your class later on!”
“But putting that aside, this is the first time I’ve ever seen City Lord Wan, our Hunter King, fight to take someone!”
“That’s right. First time I’ve ever seen him take an interest in a newcomer!”
“Look! War Academy is coming out!”
At that cry, everyone turned toward the dungeon entrance.
A team of several dozen students came out, their equipment unremarkable and their levels nothing special, yet every last one of them wore a look of joy.
Liu Qi in particular had shot all the way up to Level 7 after the dungeon clear, placing him straight into the upper-middle tier.
If Ye Ze had been there, Liu Qi would have wanted to call him Father on the spot.
“What the hell? With equipment and levels like that, they still cleared it?”
“They’re only Level 6 or 7 after clearing it. Before the run, the whole team averaged only Level 3 or 4!”
“Don’t forget, those dozens of people never even fought. There was just one super-monster in there who could solo the whole thing!”
“Damn it, if only Ye Ze were from our academy. If he were willing to carry me, I’d introduce my younger sister to him immediately!”
“You’re dreaming. If someone can carry a Group Dungeon, changing girlfriends every day after entering the academy wouldn’t be a problem for him.”
“Your vision is too small. I’ll say two a day!”
“...”
As the crowd buzzed noisily, Zhao Xuan, standing farther back, clenched his fists so hard they trembled.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the name at the top of the clearance rankings.
“How is this possible?!”
Ye Ze was nothing but a pauper.
He, on the other hand, was a bona fide rich-heir Summoner!
How could the gap between them be this wide?
Quite a few people from Dongwu City No. 1 High School were thinking the exact same thing.
But at that moment, as Ye Ze stepped out of the dungeon, the crowd was shaken once more.
Reporters from all kinds of agencies, guild personnel, and many others immediately surged toward him.
Wu Ming and Wan Feipeng in particular both moved to the very front.
Off to one side, Bai Wei, the Spellblade, gripped his magic sword and stared at the much-discussed Ye Ze, battle intent blazing on his face.
“One person, solo-clearing Hell difficulty?”
“Can anyone really possess that kind of strength? Or did he use some unknown trick...?”
At that moment, Ye Ze looked at the crowd in front of him and felt a mountain of pressure.
This is too much. If it gets any worse, I may have to use Shadow Meld and run...
Judging by the way over a hundred people were pressing toward him, if he did not leave soon, he would be trapped here for the entire day!
But just then, Wu Ming walked over and extended his hand with a smile.
“Hello, Student Ye Ze. I am Wu Ming, the chief administrator of the East China Region.”
“Would you be interested in changing academies? I can guarantee that the resources you receive will—”
Before he could finish, Wan Feipeng suddenly thrust out an enormous hand.
He planted it squarely over Wu Ming’s face, knocking his gold-rimmed glasses crooked and leaving his expression in complete disarray.
The reporters and cameramen were equally disordered, and several of them silently shifted their cameras in that direction...
Wan Feipeng bared his teeth at Ye Ze in a bold grin.
“Not bad, Ye Ze, my boy! You’ve got real ability!”
“Don’t listen to that old dog Wu Ming. I already picked up a mission for you, and I guarantee you’ll like it!”
