"What about the bet?"
Shen Fei turned around to look at Jiang Lin, a clear taunt, yet somehow it got to him.
After all, not standing up for his future wife seemed downright wrong.
"A Lord Level Summoning Skill Book! Even among categories, it's the most expensive magic summoning beast, the Flame Spirit," Jiang Lin said calmly.
The people around overheard and thought, this is a massive bet.
A Lord Level Summoning Skill Book, especially a magic summoning beast—it's worth millions outside, maybe even several million. And he's just putting it on a bet?
No wonder he's a direct descendant of the Jiang Family.
"I can't afford to bet, I'm broke." Shen Fei, upon hearing the wager, turned to leave.
What a joke, betting millions—he'd rather just directly buy one.
Jiang Lin seemed to have anticipated this, smiling, "I don't need any bet from you.
Once you lose, just run up to me and bow, saying that you're actually the best guy in Shencheng First High School every time you see me before entering college.
How about it?"
"You *******, is there any more insulting way?"
Shen Fei hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Xun started yelling angrily.
"I'll provide the bet, damn it. A Lord Level Knight Skill Book! Your Grandpa Wang can afford it!"
"Wang Xun..."
Shen Fei knew he probably wouldn't lose, but hearing Wang Xun defend him like this.
Wang Xun had known him since middle school, and his background was no less complex—Wang Family Chamber of Commerce, one of Shencheng's four big chambers.
But background wasn't the reason for their friendship.
It was only because their personalities clicked.
"Don't feel pressured, I'm doing this willingly, damn it, I just can't stand that guy getting all arrogant."
"Great! Since someone's sending skill books to me, I'll gladly accept." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Shen Fei replied calmly, "Hope you don't go back on your word when the time comes."
Since there's a spendthrift giving summoning beasts, he wouldn't hold back.
Big spender, be slaughtered when necessary.
Before Tier Three, a summoner can contract three summoned beasts.
This is why the summoner's range of potential is so vast.
Summoners with a strong background already have three summoned beasts before reaching Tier Three.
One person is essentially a team.
Weak summoners haven't even managed to nurture a single summoned beast.
Shen Fei originally planned to first deal with Vast Heaven Holy Spirit, but didn't expect someone to offer, even with a magic summoning beast.
Just right since Vast Heaven Holy Spirit is positioned as the frontline.
A truly complete team definitely needs a turret.
"We'll initiate a profession duel, and have Teacher Jiangg verify it!" Jiang Lin sneered, using the bet merely as a means to humiliate Shen Fei.
Even with a different bet, it would make no difference; he'd end up with a Lord Level Skill Book anyway.
Besides, a top rare profession isn't comparable to some rare summoner profession.
Adding his equipment and skills.
What could Shen Fei possibly win with?
...
South Campus of Shencheng First High School.
Upon hearing Jiang Lin and Shen Fei's wager, the crowd moved in unison toward the Wild Boar Forest Dungeon.
The newbie dungeon is for leveling of professional newbies given by every guardian city.
Created using special abyssal items.
Aimed to train professionals' combat and initial level-ups, greatly reducing their mortality rate facing abyssal creatures.
As a key high school in Shencheng, Shencheng First High School has a dungeon entrance at the South Campus.
While the guardian city offers each newbie one free dungeon entry.
Because opening a newbie dungeon requires special material costs.
It can't be opened for free.
Later on, entering once costs nearly half a million, showing how absurd it is.
A bustling crowd moved toward the South Campus.
Curious as they saw such a large gathering and wondering if leveling up had started requiring massive teams?
Doesn't the dungeon limit party sizes to five?
But upon hearing it was Shen Fei and Jiang Lin's wager, betting on who could clear the Wild Boar Forest faster.
Interest quickly arose, as eating melons is a human instinct.
Countless people joined the crowd.
Before long, standing at the dungeon entrance, Teacher Jiangg Tianzheng saw students akin to an incoming army, stunned.
Until he heard of Shen Fei and Jiang Lin's wager.
"Reckless, the free dungeon is offered only once, you hot-blooded youth.
Using a dungeon as a joke, though not truly fatal, losing this opportunity." Teacher Jiangg Tianzheng said coldly.
"Please, teacher, verify it, I'm Jiang Lin, initiating a profession duel.
This is mutually agreed by both parties, with the wager being two Lord Level Skill Books." Jiang Lin said.
Free or not, it makes no difference; he can afford it anyway.
As long as I can humiliate Shen Fei.
Heh heh.
Jiang Lin glanced at Shen Fei, when the time comes and he makes a fool of himself, he'll spread the word about how useless Shen Fei is.
He wasn't unaware of the Mountain Giant; it's considered a fairly powerful rare-level summoned beast in the early stages.
But with two or three lord-level skills and equipment bonuses, how could he lose?
"A professional duel... Forget it, you young people. You don't understand the terror of hell-level dungeons at all.
Let me give you a taste of it, lest you overestimate yourselves."
At this moment, Shen Fei spoke up, "What if I clear the dungeon?"
Everyone present was stunned at his words.
"Clear it? No one has cleared hell-level since Wild Boar Forest appeared!"
"I originally felt sorry for Shen Fei but didn't expect his mind to be lacking. Do beauties like guys with no brains?"
"If he clears it, I'll eat shit upside down!"
...
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised, then laughed loudly, engaging in a heated discussion; everyone without exception thought Shen Fei was being reckless.
He was just a Summoner, with only a single rare-level summoned beast.
Yet he was thinking of clearing a hell-level dungeon, absurd.
Jiang Lin laughed even harder, "Clear it? If you clear it, I'll lick all the toilets in the school clean!"
"Whoa, going so far? Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Wang Xun shook his head, this guy's been a bit arrogant since his job change.
"You said it."
Shen Fei said calmly.
The next moment.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the dungeon.
Each of them was enveloped in a red glow, which is the light that appears after choosing the hell dungeon.
Jiangg Tianzheng shook his head.
If Jiang Lin hadn't mentioned a professional duel, he wouldn't have bothered with it.
Even at level 20, clearing a newcomer hell dungeon isn't guaranteed.
"The timer starts now."
Jiangg Tianzheng held a watch in his hand and placed it on the table.
The surrounding students lingered, even starting to discuss the earlier events on their phones on the school forum.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei was already in the middle of a forest,
[Dungeon — Wild Boar Forest]
[Level: Hell Level (Item Drop Rate +600%, Experience Bonus +600%)]
[Limit: 5 people]
[Clear Record: None]
The next moment.
With a thought, Shen Fei summoned an array beside him.
A massive figure appeared within his array, with marble-like muscles and overwhelming vitality that could blow a breath
And instantly.
The surrounding forest whipped up a fierce wind, the leaves rustling.
"My master!" Vast Heaven Holy Spirit knelt on one knee in a posture of submission.
"From now on, I'll call you Little Cang!"
Shen Fei nodded, suddenly hearing rustling noises from a distant forest. Little Cang instantly became alert, looking in the direction of the noise.
A gigantic shadow quickly attacked, and a prompt appeared before Shen Fei's eyes.
[Frenzied Wild Boar (lv.4)]
[Quality: Normal]
[Skill: Rushing Forward lv.1 (Normal)]
This massive body coupled with a rock-like speed charged at them, still at level 4.
This was just the beginning, no wonder it's a hell dungeon.
But this massive Frenzied Wild Boar was just a puppy in front of Vast Heaven Holy Spirit.
Seeing this, Vast Heaven Holy Spirit immediately got up without a word and faced the charging Frenzied Wild Boar.
Stride, charge punch.
The terrifying power erupted, and a huge figure appeared behind him.
'Overlord Fist!'
[Overlord Fist (Epic): When using this skill, enter an unbreakable Overlord Body state and deal massive damage to enemies, with specific power judged by the user's Strength Attribute]
With one punch, Vast Heaven Holy Spirit's fist collided with the charging Frenzied Wild Boar.
'Boom!!'
An invisible shockwave blasted outward, directly colliding head-on, rendering any frenzied charge moot, suppressing it with one punch.
The entire head of the Frenzied Wild Boar instantly burst like a suspended water bag.
Countless blood sprayed everywhere, leaving only half of its body remaining.
Instantly killed!
[Killed lv4 monster 'Frenzied Wild Boar', gained experience +18%]
