The Gymnasium Incident!

The summoning brand landed unceremoniously on the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which let out a pained roar and struggled incessantly.

Lan Yu quickly retreated to a safe zone; the trees and thorn bushes near the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were destroyed by its thrashing.

"Struggle, keep struggling all you want. You aren't getting away anyway, hehehe..." Lan Yu's laugh sounded anything but righteous.

If a certain God King were here, he would surely label him with "You have already invited your own death."

After all, that certain God King would certainly sanction Lan Yu on the grounds of "daring to torture a soul beast."

However, the God King at this moment was still just a thirteen-year-old greenhorn, and Lan Yu didn't take him seriously—after all, Lan Yu had already snatched the immortal herbs first.

Soon, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's movements grew increasingly sluggish.

Its body, originally over eight meters long, had shrunk by nearly half, and the aura unique to its sixty-thousand-year soul beast status had vanished.

In other words, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could now be considered a Warrior-level summon.

Of course, its original elemental abilities remained: evil, time, space, lightning, wind, and strength.

It was just that the power of the skills it unleashed would be greatly diminished.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger walked up to Lan Yu and affectionately nudged him with its head, nearly knocking him over.

Seeing that it had almost toppled its master, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blood-red eyes revealed a hint of human-like panic.

Seeing this, Lan Yu reached out to stroke the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's large head. The beast squinted its eyes in enjoyment, and the previous panic vanished into thin air.

As expected, anything produced by Mother Earth is a masterpiece! Lan Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Look at how well it's trained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Having found such a summon, Lan Yu was overjoyed, feeling as though he could drink a whole jar of wine in celebration.

Following this, Lan Yu shifted his thoughts, and he and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished from the Star Dou Forest.

At the same time, the two guard dogs that had been sniffing out his trail suddenly stopped.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

The aura of that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had disappeared?

Magic world, Magic City.

A flash of moonlight flickered in the air, and a rift connecting to another dimension emerged.

Lan Yu stepped out, accompanied by a black cat about the length of an arm perched on his shoulder.

This was one of the abilities of the Summoning Element.

"Finally back." Lan Yu subconsciously took out his phone and connected to the network.

His trip to the Douluo Continent had seemed to take over twenty days, but in reality, only about a day had passed in the magic world.

Suddenly, several notification sounds for priority contacts rang out.

Lan Yu quickly opened QQ and found many messages from Ding Yumian.

He immediately initiated a video call, and the other party answered after five seconds.

"Look who it is, our busy man. How do you have time to think of this little woman?"

In the video, Ding Yumian said this expressionlessly, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"I was looking for a suitable summon, so I didn't check my phone and naturally didn't reply to Sister Yumian's messages. Sorry, sorry," Lan Yu said hurriedly.

Ding Yumian gave a surprised "Oh," then shifted her gaze to Lan Yu's shoulder and asked, "So, where is your summon? Don't tell me it's that black cat on your shoulder?"

"It is," Lan Yu nodded. "This is a summon I spent a massive amount of effort to acquire."

Looking at the slightly disheveled Lan Yu in the video, Ding Yumian nodded and said, "I can tell, it certainly took a massive amount of effort."

"By the way, Xiao Yu, things have been a bit off at school these past few days. Dean Xiao and the others are all away, so you should be careful," she added.

"Mm."

"..."

The two chatted for another half hour before ending the video call.

"It seems this must be the Scale-Skin Demoness incident at the gymnasium."

Lan Yu searched for a few keywords on the campus forum, and sure enough, today was the rehearsal for the idol star Cu Cu's concert.

After grabbing dinner, Lan Yu rushed to the gymnasium, where he ran into the duo of Mo Fan and Lingling at the entrance.

"Why is this guy here?" As soon as she saw him, Lingling's tone turned sour.

"I'm a student here, why can't I be here?" Lan Yu smiled.

Mo Fan looked back and forth, curious as to how the two knew each other.

"Since you're here, just lend a hand and help out. I'll have my dad raise your Hunter rank by one level later," Lingling added.

Mo Fan then briefly explained the ins and outs of the situation to Lan Yu.

"You want me to help, but there's no money?"

"..." Lingling was speechless.

Is this guy obsessed with money?

It seems that besides being a bit unhinged, he's also damn greedy and lecherous!

"Although little lolis are great, I don't want to be electrocuted into an idiot," Lan Yu added.

"Go to hell!" Lingling clawed at the air, clearly triggered.

"The situation is urgent now, let's hurry up and kill the demoness!"

Lan Yu grabbed a handful of leaves from somewhere, and as his fingers opened, the leaves drifted away with the wind.

Mo Fan: ...

"Take it!" A fuming Lingling tossed an earpiece to Lan Yu.

"Let's go, brother." Mo Fan called out, then stepped into the gymnasium first.

Lan Yu fished a lollipop out of his pocket. "Here, have a lollipop."

Seeing the murderous look in Lingling's eyes, Lan Yu turned and sprinted toward the gymnasium.

"Fan Mo, Lan Yu, there's one at the entrance!" Lingling's urgent voice rang out in the earpiece.

The two ran to the entrance one after the other, where a small display stand stood in front, plastered with a large poster of that sweet and cute female celebrity.

"Tell me the distance and direction." Mo Fan lowered his voice.

"Keep moving forward, ten meters out."

"There's nothing here."

"The black dot and the red dot are overlapping, you still don't see it?"

"It's above, eat my Light Radiance!"

Outside the gymnasium, Lingling clutched her tablet, feeling extremely nervous.

She had no idea how Lan Yu and Mo Fan were doing, only able to hear a chaotic cacophony of fighting.

And, of course, the annoying banter from that guy she hated.

Things like "RiderKick" and the like.

As Mo Fan's Thunder Seal paralyzed the Cyan-Yellow Demoness, Lan Yu seized the moment and shoved a Light Radiance right into her mouth, chanting "FinishTime," "Your time to end has arrived."

This made even Mo Fan roll his eyes.

It was no wonder Lingling started arguing with this guy the moment they met.

Soon, the Cyan-Yellow Demoness couldn't withstand the Light Radiance and, as if ending her own life, tore off the layer of cyan-yellow skin on her exterior.

Once the scaly skin of the Cyan-Yellow Demoness peeled away, it immediately revealed the body of a girl covered in slime.
