Chapter 9: Summoning Category Ability; Advanced Examination Bet
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The enormous phantom of a Dragon God? Why didn’t he see it?
And everyone saw it?
Could it be that it was created when he fused the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline?
William cautiously looked through the crowd and found that no one suspected him. William heaved a sigh of relief and felt that he was making too much of a fuss. How could such strength be associated with him? No one would believe him even if he killed some Five-Legged Flame Lizards.
George walked at the front while Martin was at the back. The four students walked in the middle. That was the safest formation. The two teachers were both Supernal Rank experts and reacted the fastest to danger.
Other than William and Sam, the other two who had awakened were girls.
The girl who walked in the front was tall and slender. She wore loose white clothes. Her name was Shirley Shelby. She had the face of an angel and the body figure of a devil. One could still see that her figure was hot even if she wore loose clothes. She did not need to awaken to have the ability to make men unable to move their eyes away from her if she wore something tighter.
The other girl, who had hair that covered one of her eyes and wore men’s clothes, was called Jones. She did not speak during the entire journey. However, William remembered her clearly because she would occasionally reveal a look in her eyes, which was like a wild wolf, fierce and calm.
Like William, Shirley was Mr. George’s student, and the other two were Mr. Martin’s students.
There was not much communication on the road. There was another important reason other than the fact that no one liked to talk. That place was the wilderness, and the wilderness was full of dangers. No one dared to be careless, so everyone had to be vigilant.
They finally reached the main road after passing through the oasis and a small section of gravel road.
Most of the world was covered by deserts. Only fortresses built by humans had greenery, stone roads, and rivers and mountains.
Mr. George looked around and confirmed that it was safe. He said to Martin, “It’s safe here. We can take the carriage.”
Martin nodded. A light flashed in his right hand, and a carriage appeared beside him.
That scene made William very envious. That was a unique ability of the Summoning Category.
Mr. Martin was a Summoning Category Supernal Rank expert. William didn’t know what kind of Endowed Supernatural Ability he had, but Summoning Category experts had a unique ability. They had a small space that could store anything. The space would become larger and larger as their spiritual energy increased.
He wouldn’t have carried a bag if he had such an ability. William couldn’t help but think.
He wanted to steal Mr. Martin’s Endowed Supernatural Ability, but he hadn’t tried it on humans yet, so he didn’t know how to steal it.
He had no choice but to give up. Moreover, he couldn’t use it openly, even if he stole it. After all, his Endowed Supernatural Ability was Lizard Bloodline, so how could he have storage space.
Everyone could finally rest for a while after they boarded the carriage. William placed the parcel under his feet.
“Hey!” Sam raised his head and shouted at William.
The carriage had a defensive ability, and the horses weren’t ordinary horses either. Their speed had increased rapidly, and they were safe now with the two teachers riding the carriage outside. Everyone didn’t have to be wary of their surroundings anymore, and they could talk.
Sam had a lot of things he wanted to say to William along the way. Of course, it wasn’t anything good.
“You’ve awakened your Endowed Supernatural Ability, but it’s just a trash ability. What plans do you have in the future? Do you want to find a place to hide?” Sam teased.
Jones frowned slightly and glanced at Sam with a wolf-like gaze. Then, she leaned against the edge of the carriage and stared out the window.
Shirley closed her eyes.
William raised his eyebrows and looked at Sam without saying anything.
“I’m planning to take the advanced examination. Didn’t you always do very well in the past? Do you still think that you can do better than me in the advanced examination? Can you only think about it in your dreams now?” Sam said with a smirk. He insulted William.
William shrugged and smiled. “Maybe I’ll be stronger than you think. Maybe I’m the one who created the phantom of the Dragon God. In fact, I was hiding my strength to scare you during the advanced examination.”
Shirley and Jones turned their heads at the same time and looked at William as soon as he said that. Then, the two of them silently looked away.
“Ha? Hahaha!” Sam laughed so hard that tears were coming out. He patted his thigh and said, “Are you kidding me? You know how to joke. But seriously, I’ll beat you until you’re crippled if you dare to come to the advanced examination.”
William nodded and replied bluntly, “I am returning the same words to you.”
Sam frowned and suddenly released his spiritual energy, pressing towards William.
William felt it for a moment. It was Level 2 Supernal Rank, and its purity was good. William might have been suffocated by that spiritual energy if it was before. But it was not a threat at all to the current William.
“Don’t fight!” Mr. George’s dignified voice came from outside the carriage.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the carriage dispersed, and Sam’s expression was somewhat unhappy.
“Don’t think that you’ll be safe with Mr. George protecting you. Why don’t you come to the advanced examination if you have the ability?” Sam said in a low voice.
The advanced examination did not care about life and death.
It would be a matter between both of them if William participated in the advanced examination, and Sam killed him. Others could not interfere, not even teachers.
Therefore, Sam had been provoking William. One had to know that Sam couldn’t kill someone in the fortress even if his Endowed Supernatural Ability were not bad. The advanced examination was the most suitable opportunity.
William saw the killing intent in Sam’s eyes and felt a little puzzled. Although he did not have a good relationship with Sam, it was not to the point where one of them had to die, right? Why was Sam’s killing intent so strong?
But that also made William a little angry. He leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, “Okay, but it’s a little boring to fight just like that. Why don’t we make a bet? We’ll bet about getting into the Top 100. How about those who couldn’t enter, run around the academy naked?”
A flash of viciousness flashed in Sam’s eyes. He nodded and said with a sinister smile, “Okay.”
Shirley suddenly pulled William’s sleeve just as the two of them were about to clap their hands to swear.
“Don’t bet with him. He has awakened a B-Class Summoning Category Endowed Supernatural Ability. It’s quite easy for him to get into the Top 100.” Shirley closed her eyes again after she said that.
Sam glared fiercely at Shirley, blaming her for being a busybody.
William didn’t understand why Shirley suddenly told him this. The relationship between the two of them didn’t seem to be very good.
But William didn’t intend to listen to Shirley’s advice because his goal of participating in the advanced examination was never only to be in the Top 100, and it wasn’t something that Sam could stop.
He didn’t have any background or resources, and he needed to get widespread attention if he wanted to improve himself. The advanced examination was an opportunity. William’s goal was to be seen by the big men in the fortress with potential and be included in the list of focused training targets.
