Chapter 9
Zhan Kong paid no attention to the students' insults and just glared fiercely at them: "Tianlan High School is said to be the best school in Bo City, but it turns out to have only raised a bunch of useless people!!"
"Of course, for the group that completes the bounty, I will personally reward them with a piece of defensive magical equipment."
Zhan Kong raised his voice again and continued.
Defensive magical equipment!!
Even the cheapest piece of defensive magical equipment costs hundreds of thousands!!
A commotion arose, and all the students stared blankly at Instructor Zhan Kong.
The allure of defensive magical equipment was still quite strong for them; they were not from a family like the Mu family, and a piece of defensive magical equipment was already considered very expensive.
Moreover, even the Mu family wouldn't casually produce a piece of defensive magical equipment.
Li Xingze raised his eyebrows; just dealing with a Ghost Wolf Beast was incredibly easy for him.
Getting a piece of defensive magical equipment for free, how delightful.
At that moment, Zhan Kong, who had been speaking grandly, suddenly locked his gaze on him and said in a heavy tone, "To be fair, for the awakened summoner Li Xingze, I have other arrangements."
"???"
Hearing this, Li Xingze was instantly dumbfounded. What was going on? He was being treated specially.
Is this called fair?
But this was indeed something Zhan Kong could do.
Mo Fan and the others were also staring blankly at Instructor Zhan Kong.
They weren't fools; they understood that the instructor was clearly worried that Li Xingze's summoned beast would affect this training.
Of course, some were very happy; with one less competitor like Li Xingze, their chances of getting the defensive magical equipment would increase significantly.
Zhan Kong naturally noticed everyone's gaze, but he didn't care. This group of fledglings needed to experience some trials before they could talk about becoming powerful mages.
"Alright, get ready and set off in your groups," Zhan Kong waved his hand, casually dismissing everyone.
Under the teacher's arrangement, these students left in groups, leaving only Li Xingze behind.
After the teacher and students had left, Zhan Kong walked up to Li Xingze and suddenly said, "The summoning system is quite good, but without the support of a force, it can be very difficult to exert its proper power."
"So, how about joining me? I can help you with your contract beast."
Li Xingze was caught off guard by Zhan Kong's words; it turned out he wanted to invite him to join the military.
Unfortunately, Li Xingze preferred freedom and didn't want to join a faction. Moreover, holding so many forbidden spell scrolls, wouldn't it be crazy to serve someone else?
"Instructor, you kept me here alone. I wonder what task you are planning to assign me?" Li Xingze said淡淡地.
Zhan Kong definitely didn't keep him behind just to give him special treatment; the training tasks would certainly not be fewer.
And it might even be more difficult than the tasks assigned to others.
Seeing that Li Xingze didn't respond, Zhan Kong was not angry.
If young people don't have some spirit, what's the point of being young?
"I've looked into your summoned beast; its lineage is not low, and ordinary monsters are definitely not your match." Zhan Kong stepped a little closer, "With your qualifications, reaching a high level in the future is not impossible."
Li Xingze scoffed inwardly. High level? Are you looking down on me?
"Instructor, stop with the useless flattery. In fact, this training is not essential for me; I don't need to be put through your difficulties."
Li Xingze was too lazy to engage in pleasantries and spoke directly.
Hearing this, Zhan Kong frowned; this kid had quite a personality.
Zhan Kong certainly wouldn't get angry with a student and said with interest, "Difficulties? Where do you see me making things hard for you?"
Li Xingze chuckled lightly and looked at the burly figure, saying: "You kept me here alone, isn't that making things difficult?"
"Without this training result, I can simply not participate in the magic college entrance exam; I can still get into Mingzhu Academy through special admission."
"Interesting, you even know about special admissions."
The more Zhan Kong looked at Li Xingze, the more surprised he became; this guy was completely unlike a high school student.
Even facing him, he remained so rational; his future was limitless!
Li Xingze rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think a phone is just for show? This thing can tell you everything. The summoning system, space system, and curse system are all within the special admission range of Mingzhu Academy."
"But I remember that this special admission has another requirement, which is that one must reach the initial stage level three."
Zhan Kong used his mental power to probe Li Xingze's cultivation and found that he was actually at the initial stage level two, which was somewhat unexpected.
Even so, he didn't think Li Xingze could elevate the summoning system to the initial third level within a year; the summoning system was harder to cultivate than other systems.
"This has nothing to do with the instructor," Li Xingze said淡淡.
With the Earth Saint Spring around, why would he worry about not being able to reach the initial third level? Moreover, the disaster in Bo City would only last a year, during which all students at Tianlan High School could choose to take a year off.
With two years, would he really be afraid of not breaking through to the intermediate level?
Seeing how stubborn this guy was, Zhan Kong had to soften his tone. "How about this, as long as you complete the training task, I'll give you a defensive magic tool."
"I refuse." Li Xingze decisively rejected him; he didn't believe that Zhan Kong would kindly prepare an easy task for him.
Zhan Kong's face darkened; he couldn't even tempt him with a defensive magic tool. His appetite was a bit too big.
"How about a slaying magic tool?" Zhan Kong gritted his teeth and said; he was really putting in the effort this time.
But it was worth it; as long as he could make this guy suffer a bit, he would see if he would still join the military!
Li Xingze raised his eyebrows; the value of a slaying magic tool was much higher than that of a defensive magic tool.
However, he already had an alchemical weapon, and a low-level slaying magic tool was practically useless, only good for exchanging some money.
"Change it to a Stardust magic tool, and it has to be a new one; then I might consider it," Li Xingze said.
For now, the Stardust magic tool was the most important for him.
Just renting a Stardust magic tool had nearly used up all the bounty he earned this year.
Zhan Kong was shocked by Li Xingze's bold request. A common Stardust magic tool was worth over five million, equivalent to two or three slaying magic tools.
"Do you think money falls from the sky? A new Stardust magic tool is absolutely impossible," Zhan Kong shook his head.
If he were in a big city like Magic City, he could earn tens of millions from a single bounty.
But this was Bo City, and he had so many mages under him; they usually lived frugally and wouldn't even buy a magic tool throughout the year.
Seeing this, Li Xingze silently walked toward the school bus.
"This guy."
Zhan Kong was completely impressed by Li Xingze; it truly was the case that no profit, no early rise.
Rather than a mage, he felt this guy was more suited to be a businessman!
