Chapter 7, Just a fluke.
The three of them waited for the traffic light to change, and none of them spoke.
"Brother Fan, do you think the three of us are a little too lucky?" Zhang Xiaohou broke the silence first.
Mo Fan nodded; he felt the same way.
"Could it be that heaven is looking out for us?" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Actually, it could also be due to human factors," Xiao Yu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
The two looked over at the same time and were stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yu used the simplest words to tell the two that Xiao Bai had an "auspicious" buff.
"Awesome! Won't we be rolling in money in no time?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Yu with excitement.
"Dream on!" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. "We're lucky this time, but it's just that the existing logic of this world is subtly influencing us to develop in a positive direction. It's not like you're guaranteed to win the lottery every time you buy a ticket."
"Uh...yes."
Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan were both dejected; they had thought they could become the richest man by relying on Xiao Yu's summoned beast.
However, the two soon realized that Xiao Bai was Xiao Yu's summoned beast.
True strength comes from being strong yourself!
As soon as Xiao Yu got home, he summoned Xiao Bai and Lao Hei from the summoning plane.
As soon as Lao Hei came out, it conveyed its dissatisfaction to Xiao Yu, seemingly unhappy that Xiao Yu hadn't allowed it to shine in the assessment.
"You're jealous now? You'll have your fun later." Xiao Yu gave Lao Hei a flick on the forehead in annoyance.
Then he looked at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, what other special abilities do you have?"
Xiao Bai tilted its head, blinked its bright eyes, and then a gentle voice from the mind entered Xiao Yu's mind: "It can also foresee dangers within a certain range."
"This is amazing!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. This ability, combined with the Chaos-based Order Change, would allow him to keep his clothes slightly dirty on the battlefield.
"Roar!" Old Black let out two more dissatisfied roars, indicating that it was much stronger than the pale, scruffy thing next to it.
"You can become stronger by devouring, right?" Xiao Yu stared at Lao Hei.
Old Black was clearly taken aback, then stared at Little White with resentment and scratched at Little White with one claw.
"Don't blame Xiaobai, I guessed it." Xiao Yu quickly picked up Xiaobai. "Yesterday you swallowed a whole artificial lake of fish in one go. If it weren't for Xiaobai, your owner would have had to pay a lot of money."
"Hmph!" Old Black let out a disdainful snort.
After much deliberation, Xiao Yu decided to take Lao Hei outside the Anjie border for training, and they would set off tomorrow.
Now, with the auspicious buff from Xiaobai, who can also foresee danger, there's an extra layer of protection for safety in the wild.
But good luck is ultimately just an aid; one's own strength is the foundation. The most urgent task right now is to cultivate to the intermediate level as soon as possible before graduation so as to unlock the next awakening.
At the same time, going outside the security zone can also satisfy Lao Hei's needs.
Anyway, the supply of one-eyed demon wolves in the wild is far from enough, and Old Black is still very weak. His inner world is like a chaotic nest, not a bottomless pit.
……
"You want to go out and gain experience? Students of your magic high school are not allowed to leave Anjie without special circumstances or a formal team to lead them." The guard at Xuefeng Mountain Post Station stopped Xiao Yu, who was about to leave Anjie.
"Actually, I'm a summoner mage, and I have summoned beasts to protect me," Xiao Yu said, revealing his summoner stardust.
"Even if you are a summoner, as long as you are still a high school student, you are not allowed to leave Anjie until you meet the conditions!" The guard still refused sternly.
"Please be lenient with me..."
"No way! Rules are rules. Can't you understand what I'm saying?" The guard was clearly getting impatient.
Just then, a stern voice rang out: "What's going on? Didn't we say we should be polite to others? What, have you forgotten what I taught you yesterday?"
"Yes, Boss Zhan Kong!" The guard immediately saluted the newcomer and then said to Zhan Kong, "This is a student from Tianlan Magic High School. We discovered that he was trying to leave Anjie alone."
"Oh?" Zhan Kong looked at Xiao Yu with his majestic gaze, sizing him up and down.
He didn't recognize this student; either he wasn't included in the training program, or he was a novice mage who had only awakened his powers a year ago.
A student going to hunt monsters alone? This is unprecedented in all these years.
Zhan Kong narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yu, thinking that he was either ignorant and fearless or a lackey of the Black Vatican.
Just then, Zhan Kong learned some clues about the Black Vatican from the exposed undercover agent. It seemed that those beasts were plotting something outside Bo City and Xuefeng Mountain Station.
Could it be that this student in front of me is also...?
"Instructor Zhan Kong?" Upon hearing that it was Zhan Kong, Xiao Yu immediately smiled at Zhan Kong.
"You recognize me?" Zhan Kong frowned. He was now certain that he had never seen Xiao Yu before.
"Instructor Zhan Kong's name is legendary. We students have grown up hearing about his heroic deeds. You are the pillar of this Xuefeng Mountain Station and an idol worshipped by everyone here."
Xiao Yu showered Zhan Kong with compliments, making the usually expressionless Zhan Kong burst into laughter.
"Good lad, you have good taste!" Zhan Kong slapped Xiao Yu on the back with such force that Xiao Yu almost vomited up his breakfast.
Despite the soreness in his back, Xiao Yu still wore a smile: "Instructor Zhan Kong, you flatter me. I'm telling the truth. I want to go out this time to gain some experience during my free time. After all, a mage's growth isn't enough with just training; real combat is the fastest way to master magic."
Zhan Kong's eyes flickered slightly. The young man in front of him spoke politely and was neither humble nor arrogant. He was much more composed than the average high school student.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What department are you in?"
"Summoning type." Xiao Yu raised his hand, and the Summoning type Stardust appeared in his hand.
"Summoning type!" Zhan Kong stared wide-eyed at the stardust in Xiao Yu's hand, which was glowing with moonlight.
He's been at Xuefeng Mountain Station for so long and only has Bai Yang as a summoner. When did Tianlan Magic High School produce another summoner?
Could it be that he only awakened a year ago?!
Zhan Kong regained his composure, coughed twice, and asked, "Do you have a summoned beast?"
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded and began to connect to the star.
Immediately, dimensional rifts appeared.
Old Black's figure darted out instantly and landed in front of him.
"Pfft~" The guard next to him almost burst out laughing.
At this moment, Old Black did not reveal his giant beast form. His palm-sized body was covered with bluish-black mane, and the noble aura he exuded made Zhan Kong's eyes flash with surprise.
"Your summoned beast..." Zhan Kong bent down and carefully examined Lao Hei, frowning. He could clearly sense the extraordinary nature of this little beast.
Old Hei bared his teeth, watching Zhan Kong warily.
"Very strong! Although you're currently at the servant level, holding off a typical warrior-level enemy shouldn't be a problem." Zhan Kong stood up, looked at Xiao Yu, and said earnestly.
Although Zhan Kong didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Yu clearly already knew that Zhan Kong might have seen through Lao Hei's ability to take on a giant beast form.
"It?" The guard rubbed his eyes and looked at the porcelain doll-like little beast again.
This little thing has the strength to hold off a warrior-level opponent? I absolutely refuse to believe it!
Aside from that arrogant expression, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the title of "warrior-level" at all.
Calling it slave-level is an overstatement.
If this guy were on the battlefield, he probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the teeth of a one-eyed wolf.
"That's truly remarkable! To summon such a powerful beast on the very first summon!" Zhan Kong gave Lao Hei a very high evaluation.
"Just lucky." Xiao Yu grinned with an unusually sunny smile.
