Chapter 232 – What a Talent

After Su Hao returned to the ‘Morning Glow Small Courtyard’, he found Sister Bai again and asked all the doubts in his heart in one go.

He also got the answers he wanted.

He still had a chance to re-test, but it would cost a large sum of money;

Summoner textbooks are sold in major bookstores, but they are all basic materials. Advanced materials are in the major Summoner Academies, but you can also buy them from other Summoners.

Graduates who officially graduate from Summoner Academy automatically join the official Summoner Association and are issued specific identification. However, there are also many Summoners without identification, who become wild Summoners.

Given this, Su Hao has a lot of room to maneuver. He doesn’t have to worry about not being able to learn Summoner knowledge if he can’t get into Summoner Academy.

In other words, it doesn’t matter whether he enters Summoner Academy next or not.

Since that was the case, Su Hao decided to stop bothering with these trivial matters and instead focused his attention on how to gain the ability of Perception space rhythm.

“Hahaha!”

A burst of laughter suddenly came from the side.

Su Hao glanced up and saw Bai Shansong laughing heartily, holding his stomach, with six or seven people behind him also laughing breathlessly.

Bai Shansong said in a voice that he feared Su Hao wouldn’t hear, “Oh my, I thought he was some great person! I didn’t expect that he’s no different from us in Harmony, just a normal person, hahaha!”

He didn’t name anyone, but his intentions were very clear. He had specifically come to annoy them after learning that Su Hao and the others also had no Summoner talent.

After Bai Shansong finished speaking, the group behind him immediately chimed in.

Bai Shansong continued, “I wonder who it was, acting so arrogant, thinking they were so great. I didn’t expect their face to be slapped so hard. Ouch, ouch, it burns so much!”

Before Bai Shansong could say anything else, Su Hao immediately said, “Jing Yi, my ears are too noisy!”

Yashan suddenly stood up, his bones cracking, and walked towards Bai Shansong and the others.

Bai Shansong panicked instantly and pointed at Yashan, saying, “Bai Jing Yi, what are you doing! I didn’t provoke you, and you want to hit me? What right do you have to hit me?”

Yashan flashed a sinister smile, said nothing, stomped his foot, and shot in front of Bai Shansong.

He threw a punch, hitting Bai Shansong squarely in the face.

“Boom!”

Bai Shansong let out a scream and was sent flying two meters, falling to the ground.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A moment later, all the involved parties were lying on the ground, groaning and crying.

At this moment, Yashan returned to Bai Shansong’s front, straddled him, and began to rain down punches.

Towards the end of the beating, even his pleas for mercy began to change: “Uh… uh, I’m not a man anymore~”

Bai Shansong was utterly devastated at this moment. He admitted that he regretted it. Why did he have to provoke these two ferocious brats for no reason?

He could only blame himself for being too happy just now and not being able to hold back.

He was as sad now as he had been happy then.

Bai Shansong really couldn’t understand why these two brats had so much strength. He, a tall kid nearing ten years old, was actually no match for these two seemingly incredibly tender little kids!

This is really dogshit!

The key is, they are already six years old, not five anymore. Why do they still not hold back when they hit people? Bai Shansong felt miserable!

On the contrary, Su Hao and Yashan were extremely surprised. They found that Bai Shansong was indeed a rare talent.

Last year, they beat him so badly, and he still didn’t learn his lesson. In less than a year, he forgot the pain. He’s truly a talent!

…

At night, Su Hao woke Yashan up and said, “Let’s go, let’s find a Summoner!”

Yashan quietly got up and said, “Alright!”

After climbing over the wall, the two of them started wandering the streets.

Yashan clenched his fists, eager to fight. Ever since he got his new Rune, he had wanted to do something big and test his abilities. Tonight was finally his chance!

Yashan said, “Boss Wei, where should we look for Summoners?”

Su Hao shook his head. “Let’s just wander around for now and see if we get lucky and run into some!”

The best way would be to go to the Summoner Academy, but it was the holidays, and no one was at the Summoner Academy.

Currently, Su Hao had recorded genetic information from four Summoners, including that little girl. However, this amount of data was far from enough. To accurately analyze the difference between Summoners and ordinary people, he needed as much data as possible.

Through the four samples, Su Hao had roughly pinpointed the target gene regions, but he couldn’t be completely sure yet.

Su Hao’s current Perception range was about 1,500 meters. As his body gradually adapted, his Perception range was still increasing.

But it was enough for now. Su Hao quickly locked onto the first target.

He didn’t target a Summoner because, based on the intensity of their Blood Qi, there wasn’t much difference between Summoners and ordinary people, making them impossible to distinguish.

He targeted the Summoned Beasts!

If there were Summoned Beasts, then there must be a Summoner nearby.

Su Hao took the lead and ran, saying, “Let’s go, I found them!”

While running, Su Hao said, “Two Summoners, with a total of five Summoned Beasts. We’ll act together and take down both the Summoned Beasts and the Summoners as quickly as possible.”

Yashan clapped his fists together, revealing his missing tooth, and smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, Boss Wei!”

A moment later, Su Hao and Yashan, their faces covered by Bone Hyperplasia, arrived at a small grove.

A Blue-Clad Woman sat atop a giant ringed snake, her legs crossed and her hand resting on the cold snake scales. A confident smile played on her lips as she looked at the Short-Haired Man in a suit opposite her.

The Blue-Clad Woman had two pet beasts arranged on either side. To the left was a giant, thick-skinned Rampage Bear, and to the right was a sturdy Brindled Wildebeest, both glaring menacingly at the man in front.

The man in the suit, however, looked much more disheveled, with mud stains and scratches on his body and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

This person was Xiao Linzi, who had visited the ‘Morning Light Small Courtyard’.

More pathetic than him were his two pet beasts. One was a giant Tusked Boar, and on the boar’s back perched a bat. Both beasts were covered in bloodstains, as if they had been through a fierce battle.

The Blue-Clad Woman chuckled, “You’ve done quite well to last this long, little brother! Come join us! Big sister will definitely treat you well!”

Ever since Xiao Linzi’s trip to the Morning Light Small Courtyard, he had become interested in the Resistance Association. He hadn’t expected to actually track down one of its unofficial members.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the other party’s Summoned Beasts.

It was that Ringed Snake. Xiao Linzi remembered its data: a B-Rank Summoned Beast with four skills: ‘Thermal Sense’, ‘Fast Movement’, ‘Strangulation’, and ‘Venom Spray’.

With his Tusked Boar, he stood no chance against the opponent, nor was he fast enough to escape.

Most importantly, the opponent had two Summoned Beasts, both formidable.

Xiao Linzi sighed, inwardly lamenting, “Am I going to die here tonight?”

If the opponent simply killed him and let their Summoned Beasts devour him, there would be no trouble to worry about.

Seeing Xiao Linzi remain silent, the Blue-Clad Woman covered her mouth with one hand and giggled, “Since you’re shy and won’t speak, little brother, I’ll take the initiative.”

With that said, the Ringed Snake carrying the Blue-Clad Woman retreated. The armored Rampage Bear let out a low growl and charged towards Xiao Linzi.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The armored Rampage Bear was nearly five meters tall, its massive form causing heavy thuds with every step.

The wildebeest also stamped its hooves, took a few steps back, and suddenly charged.

“Charge!”

Xiao Linzi roared, and the Tusked Boar immediately lowered its head and charged forward.

“Boom!”

With a dull thud, the armored Rampage Bear was violently knocked off course and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Xiao Linzi himself was grabbed by the arms by the bat and flown into the air, narrowly avoiding the wildebeest’s impact.

However, bats are not large, so it couldn’t carry him for a long flight. Soon, it landed again.

This Positioning Bat was just a C-Rank Summoned Beast with only two skills: ‘Positioning’ and ‘Plague.’ It was more for support and not suitable for combat.

As soon as Xiao Linzi landed, he was about to escape when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a short figure suddenly flashing to his rear, striking at his neck with a hand chop.

“What?” Xiao Linzi was shocked. It was already too late to control the Positioning Bat to block for him.

“It’s over!”

The words “It’s over!” flashed through Xiao Linzi’s mind. He felt a heavy blow to the back of his neck, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

The moment Xiao Linzi lost consciousness, the Tusked Boar and the Harmony Positioning Bat immediately charged at Su Hao in a frenzy.

“Crack!”

Su Hao raised his hand and unleashed two bolts of Lightning, electrocuting both Summoned Beasts and leaving them stiff on the spot.

It wasn’t over yet. He casually sent two more bolts of Lightning, electrocuting the Armored Bear and the Harmony Brindled Wildebeest to the ground as well.

Then, he condensed a Great Bone Hammer and repeatedly smashed it on the foreheads of these Summoned Beasts until they were all knocked out.

At this moment, Yashan also walked over, dragging a woman by her collar and holding the tail of a large snake. “Boss Wei, it’s done!”

Su Hao gave a thumbs-up and praised, “Well done!”
