Contract and Enhancement / A Stunning Entrance

At this moment, he saw his soul beginning to fade, knowing that the time for this summoning had come.

Chapter 171 Contracts and Enhancement

Lu Jun's Summoning System have advanced to the Intermediate Level. He has stayed in the other dimension long enough and encountered three Summoned Beast he liked in a row, which is more than he has gained in the past six months.

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind, and his soul left the Dark Forest and returned to his body.

Having just finished the Dimensional Summon, he immediately opened the ancient book, searched for the Dark Catalogue, and looked for the race name of the mysterious Demon Beast.

Soon, Lu Jun found the name.

[Night Thunder Dream Beast], Race Rank: High Commander.

A rare race of Spirit Demon, and the most precious dream beast species among Spirit Demon, bearing the Wandering Bloodline.

Possessing Lightning Element, shadow, and Mind Curse attributes, its true combat power surpasses that of its peers, and it remains strong even after advancing to monarch and Emperor.

Upon seeing that his bloodline potential had reached the advanced commander level, Lu Jun suddenly realized why a warrior in the Advancement Period could match the speed of a six-legged nightmare. It turned out that his bloodline potential was even higher, allowing him to master certain demonic arts ahead of time.

The so-called classification of lower, middle, and higher is a subdivision and generalization by Pang Lai.

The range of Commander-level is very large, and simply unifying them into a single tier cannot accurately reflect the differences, and may even be misleading, causing mages to make incorrect decisions.

He recalled the appearance of the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Judging from its horns and body, it was indeed an immature creature that had not yet truly grown into its complete form.

Lu Jun also found out about the Spirit Demon; they are a general term for Demon Beast who specialize in Mental Power, and most of them are small in size and use strange methods.

While retaining their spiritual strengths, Dream Beasts also possess formidable physiques. For example, the Night Thunder Dream Beast, with its interplay of darkness and lightning as it runs, is arguably the most stylish mount.

Whether it's a short sprint or a long run, they excel at it and have extraordinary endurance.

Seeing the ancient books filled with praise and acclaim, Lu Jun's heart began to lean inward.

The Spirit Demon can also cooperate with its own Mind Element and Curse Element, making it an ideal Summoned Beast. Moreover, its bloodline is superior to that of the Six-tailed Dark Moon Fox and the Six-legged Nightmare Horse.

A fully-fledged peak commander is within reach of becoming a monarch, and cultivating him to become Supreme Monarch is even easier and less effort.

"However, you can't subdue a dream beast by brute force. It has a strong mind and spirit and can easily resist a contract. It's best to talk it out."

Lu Jun seemed to be pondering something; perhaps he could start by examining the dream beast's Wandering Bloodline.

These Demon Beast are unruly and freedom-loving. They often wander, roaming various forbidden regions, absorbing the local mysterious Warm Spring to evolve. This special ability is called the Wandering Bloodline, a skill unique to Dream Beasts.

Dream Beasts do not stay in one place, do not form groups, and move forward forever until they die.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Jun coveted the Night Thunder Dream Beast; many of them can evolve autonomously and advance to the level of a monarch.

The origin of Warm Spring is also described in the books.

It is either the habitat of some powerful Spirit Demon of the same kind, which has lived and settled there for a long time, and the dream beast absorbs and reflects back on it through understanding; or it is some kind of ancient Ancient Ruins, which has a mysterious aura and can be understood by analogy.

In short, it is the spiritual elevation that leads to the physical advancement.

The same applies to human-made architecture; it might even be more effective, after all, humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and the civilization they depict embodies wisdom and spirituality.

Lu Jun stroked his chin, deciding to try and fool them.

Hey there! Want to travel Cross-Plane? Flexible work hours available!

So he went into seclusion to recover his magic power, and before long, the Moon White Star Nebula of the Summoning System returned to its peak, shining brightly.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Jun controlled the Star Track, eager to re-enter the Summoning Plane.

The soul drifted above the Dark Forest. With a thought, it traveled thousands of miles in an instant, rushing out of the Night Guardian Domain. The outside world was a desolate and lonely environment, which also seemed to be a rather dark region.

In a short while, he caught up with the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

A solitary creature, resembling both a deer and a lion, stood atop a small hill, gazing into the distance. Its body was surging with darkness, and thunder roared around it. Its black and white mane was blown by the wind, flowing behind it, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air.

Seeing this, Lu Jun was slightly taken aback. Recalling the other party's calm demeanor when he snatched chestnuts from the fire earlier, he felt a sense of longing and floated up to communicate.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast, with its exceptional intelligence, immediately sensed Lu Jun's soul and growled a warning.

"I am Summoner and would like to enter into a temporary contract with you. Rest assured, I won't restrict your physical presence; I will simply summon you during battles, and you will also be able to travel to other worlds..."

Lu Jun Mind Telepathy, speaking frankly that such a free spirit should not be forced into a contract, unlike Old Wolf who lacks backbone.

At the same time, he tried to convey some images to his mind, about his experience of hunting demons, and the vastness of the Magic World, including the Qinling Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Antarctica, and the Pacific Ocean.

Spirit Demon specialize in the mind and spirit, and often possess high intelligence, quickly grasping related concepts.

"Yo-yo~", the Night Thunder Dream Beast murmured, its eyes showing a thoughtful expression, almost like human eyes.

Lu Jun pressed his advantage, saying, "Humans only live for less than a hundred years, and the Summoning System Nebula can nourish your growth. After I grow old, you may wish to embark on your journey again."

After listening to his rambling, the Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a cry.

It agreed; the main otherworldly location did indeed attract it, allowing it to accumulate experience through the Magic World and achieve a shortcut to success.

The Summoning Plane is too vast; the older Demon Beast have long since occupied all the prime locations. The dream beast is all alone and finds it difficult to compete with the Demon Beast clans.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was both surprised and delighted. He was prepared for a long-term effort to persuade the fox, and even considered reverting to signing a contract with the Six-tailed Dark Moon Fox.

I didn't expect her to agree so easily.

Of course, it also fits the free-spirited and unrestrained personality of the dream beast, allowing it to embark on a spontaneous trip.

He drew Star Track, crescent-colored imprints slowly drifting down.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast below lowered its head, offering no resistance, and the contract was successfully formed.

In reality, Lu Jun opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. Wisps of dark purple lightning flickered around his body, accompanied by a thick, dark aura that filled the room.

Shadows clung to the walls, as if night were slowly descending upon the Mortal World, and the lights dimmed.

He then drew Star Track, and a dark purple magic circle appeared in the air nearby, its spatial ripples spreading outwards—mysterious and exquisite. The Night Thunder Dream Beast was about to make its first appearance in the Magic World...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mo Fan, separated from Lu Jun by only one room, was nervously blending the Blood of Hundred Beasts and the General's Soul to strengthen the Old Wolf.

The wolf struggled, growling repeatedly, its flesh and bones cracking and spewing blood.

Mo Fan muttered to himself, "Old Wolf, you have to hold on, or my ten million will be gone."

Previously, Lu Zhenghe's General-level Summoned Beast [Ghost Pattern Violent Wolf] completely humiliated the Old Wolf, almost destroying the wolf clan's pride and spirit.

Mo Fan couldn't bear it; he was rather sentimental. This wolf beast had been with him for some time, so what else could he do but strengthen it?

It just so happens that his Summoning System have stagnated for a long time and are far from reaching the level of Lightning Fire Shadow. It's time for him to upgrade and hopefully become a force to be reckoned with in the Intermediate Level.

Chapter 172 Makes a Stunning Debut

Just as Lu Jun and Mo Fan were both cultivating the Summoning System, reaching a crucial juncture in their lives.

In the apartment lobby, Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao heard the vice-captain Qiu Huayu mention that Mo Fan was strengthening his Summoned Beast. They couldn't help but show jealousy and kept belittling him with disdain, believing that he was bound to fail.

"With such a low success rate for advancement, and his Ghost Wolf Beast not seeming to have anything special about it, it hasn't come out for so long, so it's most likely that it failed."

This worried Professor Qiu Huayu, who suggested, "Let's go take a look."

"Although Summoner's initial dimensional contract is not related to their destiny, the death of Summoned Beast will still cause some trauma to their spirit and soul."

The two men exchanged a glance, revealing malicious smiles. They planned to break down the door at a crucial moment and disrupt Mo Fan's enhancement process.

They felt a strong sense of crisis. During the previous exchange competition in the capital, Chief Lu didn't even glance at the two of them and directly chose Mo Fan.

However, Mo Fan's performance lived up to expectations. At least Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao, if they asked themselves honestly, were far inferior. If they just waited for the opponent to continue to grow stronger, what would happen to the National Academy Nomination Battle?

Soon, the group quickly went upstairs to Mo Fan's room.

Luo Song, eager to cause trouble, walked at the front and glanced at the door number at the entrance of the corridor.

Since Mo Fan and Lu Jun's rooms were very close, differing by only one number, he didn't remember it very clearly.

Just then, a thick aura of darkness and lightning emanated from one of the rooms. Luo Song, remembering that Mo Fan possessed both Shadow Element and Lightning Element, mistakenly assumed that his Summoned Beast had gone out of control and that Mo Fan was fighting against it. He couldn't help but show his delight and hurriedly pushed open Lu Jun's door.

If the servant wolf beast fails to advance, Mo Fan will not only lose a large sum of money, but also render his Summoning System useless.

Waaaaah!

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Luo Song opened the door, his body froze inside. The room was completely dark, with no lights and a deep, chilling aura emanating from it, and a powerful surge of shadow energy.

The shadow seemed to possess the Intermediate Magic Shadow Element magic [Giant Shadow Nail], freezing his body in place.

He peered inside as if gazing into an abyss, where some ominous and ferocious beast lurked, making his soul tremble.

"Mo Fan possesses the Shadow Element, but how can he be so powerful! Could he be from the Black Vatican?"

In that instant, a thought of regret flashed through Luo Song's mind.

Shen Mingxiao, said impatiently, "What are you waiting for at the door? Hurry up and go inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mingxiao casually peeked out from Luo Song's side and saw the same scene, his soul and body also being shocked.

He went even further, peering into the depths of darkness where dark purple patterns outlined a pair of black-purple, lantern-like pupils, like the eyes of a nightmare Evil God.

Shen Mingxiao was horrified. The two Nebula seemed to be controlled by a mage of the mind and Curse Element. They wanted to resist, but were powerless to do so.

"What's wrong?!"

Professor Qiu Huayu sensed something was wrong and quickly touched the two bodies. His fingers seemed to touch cold corpses, and Dark Aura surged out, attempting to transfer to him.

But the old professor moved swiftly, his hands enveloped in magical energy, and he shoved Luo Song and the other man to the ground.

Thump! Thump!

The two swayed, fell to either side, and crashed to the ground with a cry of pain before finally escaping that terrifying state.

Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao's eyes were filled with terror, their legs trembled, and they frantically moved their buttocks backward, almost losing control of their bladders.

They gasped for breath, growling in disbelief, "What is this? Is Mo Fan practicing some kind of evil magic?!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, darkness surged in front of them, and the head of the Night Thunder Dream Beast emerged from the doorway, almost taking up half of it. Its handsome black and white mane danced in the air, its exquisite horns pointed to the sky, and its resolute and calm eyes stared at the two of them.

The three stood frozen in the corridor, their hearts filled with terror. The terrifying pressure of that Commander-level Great Demon, was mixed with the fierce and powerful aura of a warrior after a battle.

"Holy crap... Holy crap! How could there be Commander-level Great Demon in the apartments of the Imperial Capital Academy?"

Luo Song was incoherent, mentally broken, and utterly despondent. Being so close, even the most powerful mage would surely die, let alone a mere Intermediate Mage like himself.

The elderly professor next to them was also panicked, but his first instinct was to push the students away and make them leave.

Just then, a clear, gentle voice came from inside the room. "Next time, if you dare to disturb my cultivation again, it won't be as simple as planting a nightmare shadow."

Upon hearing this, the three of them doubted they had heard correctly; they thought Lu Jun's voice was coming from inside.

However, when the shadow of the Night Thunder Dream Beast wriggled, passed through the wall, and gracefully stepped out, revealing Lu Jun's figure behind it, the three of them finally believed it was real and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old professor glanced at the behemoth Commander-level creature, perched in the corridor.

Compared to the enormous human body, it is over twenty meters long. Fortunately, its tail accounts for half of that length, otherwise it wouldn't fit in such a small space. When stretched out, it resembles a lion, yet it also has the characteristics of a stag, majestic, proud and untamed.

He couldn't help but ask, "Chief Lu, is this your... Summoned Beast?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them couldn't help but look over, their eyes filled with fear.

"That's right." Lu Jun said casually, "I'm a high-level awakened Summoning System, this is my Dimensional Summon."

Wow!

Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao were speechless. A single Primary Magic was enough to defeat seven or eight ordinary High-Order Mage.

The problem is, Lu Jun is still the same age as them, so the gap is just too big.

Suddenly, the two lost interest, their jealousy long gone. So what if Mo Fan Innate Dual Elements, Intermediate Level 3 Lightning Fire elemental, and Summoning System war general wolf beast?

They were still like ants before this Summoned Beast.

They are not even as good as fireflies.

Lu Jun glanced indifferently at the two men and snorted coldly. He had a rough idea of why the three had barged in; it was nothing more than that.

In the original story, these two individuals were extremely narrow-minded and single-minded in eliminating dissidents, which led to the disintegration of the team that went to Golden Forest for training.

On the other side, Mo Fan witnessed a giant Star Blue Giant Wolf Beast being reborn.

The Old Wolf's physique became more proportionate, with the lines of its neck, shoulders, back, and tail becoming much softer. In addition, its once sturdy limbs became slender, so it no longer looked robust and fierce, but rather divine and agile!
