After several summoning lessons, the practice phase finally came. In this lesson, the teacher gave each student a third-level gem for summoning sacrifice.

There are 76 students in the class, and each gem costs at least 100 gold coins. This alone costs nearly 10,000 gold coins.

No wonder the enrollment standards of each Academy are very strict. Calculating the cost, each student will need thousands of gold coins per year.

Except for a small number of students who have known about and summoned Astral Realm biological combat before, many people practiced summoning it for the first time.

A group of students came to the special summoning hall, where there were engraved magic circles, strict security measures, and various summoning materials and information in reserve.

"So, who should start first?" The teacher looked at the students with a slight smile.

"I'll go first." A student walked out of the crowd. He was tall, and even though he was wearing a black school uniform, his strong muscles could be seen.

"Aug, what creature are you planning to summon."

"I plan to summon Blue-Pincer Crab". "He has already decided.

"This -" the teacher thought thoughtfully.

"It seems that you are the wrong husband for wanting it."

Blue-Pincer Crab is a creature at the bottom of the Astral Realm. It makes a living by devouring Astral Realm corpses. Its pliers are the core of its power. It is very Sturdiness. It only needs simple processing to make a good hammer.

"Come on, let me see how you are studying this semester." The teacher moved away from the summoning circle behind him and let Aug set it up.

After that, everyone looked at Aug's work with curiosity. The magic circle he drew was not very fine and had hard lines, but it met the standard. After preparations were completed, he placed the gems as the main sacrifice in the array, and then placed a dead Blue-Pincer Crab "carapace, a small amount of Tide Shell" powder, and a piece of stinky third-level monster flesh.

After preparing these things, he stood in front of the formation and began to sense and control the power of the Star-Drawing world.

"We pay our respects to the spirit of the ancient stars, the god of stars and wings. May your will be manifested and the power of the Star-Drawing world come to you." He recited the prayer to strengthen the completion of the ceremony.

Soon, a faint light rose from the magic circle, and then spread to the sky through Summoning Skylight, forming a fluorescent blue mist light column.

A large crab figure about four meters high gradually emerged in the magic circle. It had weird limbs of different lengths, more than ten pairs of eyes arranged on the shell on its back, and two pincers, one large and one small. The larger one was about one meter six in diameter.

"It has appeared. If you want to get its body, you need to defeat it alone according to the rules of the Astral Realm."

The teacher told Aug.

"Of course, I have been ready for a long time." Aug stretched out his hands, golden battle armor emerged from the surroundings, and then draped over his body one by one, transforming him into a tall and fully armed Knight.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel that Aug is not like Mage." A student on the side complained.

"Construct Spell If you play with him like this, it always feels like you have gone astray."

Compared with the last semester, the armor on Aug is obviously more Sturdiness and more gorgeous, and there are many newly learned rune patterns in it.

He was seen holding a big sword and fighting with the giant crab, head-to-head. After the two sides fought back and forth several times, they finally found an opportunity and split Blue-Pincer Crab's chelicerae joints with one sword, letting the opponent's proud giant pincers fall.

At this time, Blue-Pincer Crab spit out waves of foam, submerged itself, and then disappeared, leaving only the huge pliers.

"It ran away. According to Blue-Pincer Crab's habit, when it encounters an enemy it cannot defeat, it will spit out aerosol-like foam to allow itself to escape."

"It seems that I have returned to the Astral Realm." Another student commented.

"A third-level gemstone is exchanged for a pair of large pliers. If it is not needed, it is actually a loss."

"If he likes it, there's nothing we can do about it."

Next, other students experimented one by one, summoning Astral Realm creatures. Some were just practicing, some wanted to get the rare resources from the Astral Realm creatures, and some wanted to test the abilities of the Astral Realm creatures to see if they could use them later.

"Tie up the Golem in front!" A student stood in front of the magic circle, commanding the summoned Astral Wandering Snake to tie up the Golem not far away.

This Astral Wandering Snake, about six meters long, rushed out, slid in the air, and then tightly entangled the Golem.

During this period, Golem kept struggling, but the snake's body was like rubber and could stretch and squirm, making it difficult for Golem's physical attacks to be effective.

"The effect is very good. If the opponent is a stupid and big warrior, this method should be able to control it." For Mage, what he likes to bully the most is the warrior who is simply strong, whether it is an illusion,

Mental attacks and imprisonment can all use very little force to confuse the opponent.

After the last group of students practiced, only Sylutia and Spencer were left unsummoned.

Spencer looked at Sylutia who was not in a hurry, nodded slightly to the black-haired girl, and then walked forward.

"Let me do it this time, I want to try summoning Beholder." Among the third-level Astral Realm creatures, the difficulty of summoning Beholder is the highest.

"It seems that the chief wants to challenge a difficult challenge." Several students discussed in a low voice.

"I also want to see what Beholder looks like. Is it really that powerful?"

In the light of everyone's curiosity and anticipation, Spencer began to outline the magic circle on the ground, and then took out various prepared materials, including not only the gems issued by the Academy, but also things he prepared himself.

Sylutia stood not far away and watched with slightly curious eyes.

The materials prepared by Spencer are obviously different from the records of Hundred-Eye Cult in her memory. They are more precious and special. The value of these materials alone is more than 600 gold coins. If gems are included, the value is probably close to 800 gold coins.

It's too extravagant, the girl complained in her heart, this is basically a summoning method that Hundred-Eye Cult has long since eliminated.

As an expert on Beholder, Hundred-Eye Cult, although lonely, has also improved many past secret techniques. When Regas Kingdom held the summoning ceremony, there were no such luxury resources. Instead of just going to the village to capture a group of people, or getting a group of qualified prisoners, killing them on the spot for sacrifice, extracting their rank and power, and transforming the sacrifices.

About a few minutes later, in the rising light blue mist, a phantom of Beholder appeared. Its head was about three meters in diameter, like enlarged eyes, and there were tentacles like nerve tentacles around its body.

This Beholder blinked its eyelids, looked around, and then looked at Spencer, who was presiding over the summoning ceremony. Facing this coming Beholder, Spencer concentrated on communicating with the other party and trying to control the other party.

The students in the distance lowered their voices and observed quietly.

Unfortunately, the subsequent process did not go smoothly. As a strong person among the third-level Astral Realm creatures, Beholder's mental power was obviously not low, and he also had the aura of an alien world. During the communication and control process, Spencer gradually sweated on his forehead and felt that the vision in front of him gradually became dim. He knew that his vision was affected by Beholder's ability.

Unfortunately, he had a bad secret in his heart, and now that he has communicated, he is increasingly finding it difficult. After all, with a second-level personality, the span of controlling a third-level Astral Realm creature is still too big. Even if he is extremely talented and has stronger mental power than an ordinary third-level Mage, he still feels like he is about to lose control.

In order to save face, Spencer gritted his teeth again, took out a potion that strengthened his mental power, and poured it into his mouth. At this time, a dazzling light burst out from his eyes. At this moment, he finally broke through Beholder's mental defense and established contact with the other party.

Finally taking control, he wiped his sweat and turned to look at the teacher beside him.

The other party nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay. He then breathed a sigh of relief, and then directed Beholder to aim at a target in the distance to test the attack power.

The light purple light shot out and instantly hit the dot in the center of the target. The precise locking ability of Beholder was demonstrated at this moment.

The next step is to use its ability to affect living things. Spencer turned around and asked Beholder to look at the classmates, and then the huge eyes emitted invisible power of illusion.

Immediately, some students felt in a trance. Fortunately, everyone's mental strength was not weak. After reacting, they strengthened their will and isolated this power to resist.

"The illusion ability doesn't seem to be very strong, and I can resist it directly." A student commented.

"Indeed, it doesn't feel as powerful as recorded." Someone else said.

Standing by the fence in the distance, Sylutia blinked his eyes and looked at the Beholder.

This guy should be the kid in Beholder, she thought to herself with a little amusement.

She has seen a lot of Beholder summoned by Hundred-Eye Cult, most of them are over five meters tall, much larger than this one, and more powerful. Even Knight has a hard time splitting with that Tough Leather.

A few minutes later, Spencer, who had tested various items, was released from the summons. Rejected by the world, Beholder returned to the Astral Realm again and disappeared.

Spencer stepped back. At this time, the teacher wrote down the summoning situation in the book in his hand, and then clicked on the last name.

"Hedra, it's your turn."

Everyone turned their attention to the girl in black uniform standing in the corner, and saw her nodding slightly and walking down the steps.

"What are you going to summon, Hedra."

"I will also try to summon Beholder." Sylutia has learned a lot of Hundred-Eye Cult's secret techniques, but unfortunately, he has never tried it on summoning.

So with everyone's eyes looking forward to it again, the girl walked into the magic circle and began to perform the summoning ceremony.
