Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Exploring the Abyss, Demon News

Shen Fei casually gathered the gear and Abyss Core dropped by the Bloody Great Demon.

The Stabbing Immortal, who had just made a brief appearance, disappeared back into the Void again, and Shen Fei noticed she was still holding a cup of milk tea in her hand before she vanished.

’I, Stabbing Immortal, hold a longsword in one hand and milk tea in the other, yet I can still stab immortals with a single strike!’

Shen Fei shook his head. After he reached Tier Two, each Summoned Beast had grown much stronger.

Especially considering that this sword strike was the result of six days of buildup.

During this time, Shen Fei did all the work himself, while Stabbing Immortal remained in the Void.

”It’s about time. Let’s head back for a meal and go for a Triple Draw!”

Shen Fei glanced at the time; it was already late.

Maneuvering the Five Elements Great Escape, he floated up towards the border, noting how he’d slayed the Abyssal Creatures in the Third and Second Zones so ruthlessly.

In comparison to the past, when Abyssal Creatures were plentiful, they now seemed rather ’sparse.’

Upon returning to the border, Shen Fei discovered that the Empress, Vast Heaven Venerable, and Plague Doctor had already returned, and he had instructed the trio to act separately in designated areas, ensuring they weren’t too far apart.

Upon seeing the number of Abyss Cores the three produced, Shen Fei found it was exactly as he had expected.

Abyssal Creatures emerge from the Pollution Core of the Abyss, but their numbers are limited.

In the past, no one could kill Abyssal Creatures madly among the same tier.

Regarding higher-tier professionals slaughtering low-tier ones, Shen Fei sought matching information.

Because higher-tier professionals would alarm stronger entities from the Abyss.

Moreover, high-tier professionals often go directly to the Abyss to obstruct, as that’s the real frontline.

The Abyss Edge, though also a means for the Abyss to erode Blue Star, is more like the backend of the front line.

”Abyss...”

Shen Fei rubbed his chin, wondering if he’d get a chance to try visiting the Abyss directly, but doing so requires the First Transformation.

Looks like he’ll have to wait until the exams are over.

”He’s here.”

Zhao Ke, the supply officer, saw Shen Fei approaching and waved; he had grown quite familiar with Shen Fei over the past days and was not as serious as before.

Moreover, he genuinely admired Shen Fei’s abilities.

Over these days, Shen Fei had accomplished what Deep City Border would take one to two months, reportedly clearing out much of the Abyssal Breath in this area.

The pace of Abyss invasions had slowed slightly, and the pressure on the Breaking Abyss Army had eased significantly.

All this was thanks to Shen Fei.

”Mhm, here’s today’s harvest.”

Shen Fei handed over the Tier Four Abyss Core, while the Empress, Vast Heaven Venerable, and Plague Doctor poured out a large bag of Abyss Cores.

A small pile formed in front of Zhao Ke, who swallowed hard; accustomed to this but still slightly startled every time.

Shen Fei, a merciless monster-slaying machine, easily dealt with Abyssal Creatures that others at the same tier struggled with.

”Hehe, they aren’t all that strong.”

Shen Fei chuckled, even the Abyssal Creatures he could handle didn’t count as much; unlike last time when the Flame Demon Commander invaded and was annihilated in an instant by the combined efforts of his three Summoned Beasts.

”You rascal.”

Zhao Ke laughed helplessly at Shen Fei’s bragging tone.

As they chatted, the report agent used the Abyssal Breath energy testing instrument developed by Wu Xia to assess each Abyss Core, preventing any false reporting.

But when testing the first Abyss Core Shen Fei offered, the agent’s voice suddenly stammered, as the instrument displayed ’4,’ indicating it was a Tier Four Abyss Core.

Tier Four Abyssal Creatures?

”Sir... is this a Tier Four Abyss Core?”

”Tier Four? Oh, that’s normal.”

Zhao Ke, surprised, recalled following Liu Wentao’s lead, witnessing Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast using its Skills.

It wasn’t too shocking that Shen Fei could kill a Tier Four Abyssal Creature...

Tier Four.

Zhao Ke contemplated Shen Fei’s age, realising how impressive his burst strength was; Tier Four would rank him among the upper levels of Shencheng City, except maybe the elusive Patriarch Su.

As well as those at the Blood Demon Abyss frontline at Deep City Border.

But Shen Fei hadn’t even undergone First Transformation yet, not reaching level 30.

Not 30 yet, 18 years old, Tier Four battle force.

Any of these traits individually would be remarkable, all three together on one individual were astonishing.

And that individual was Shen Fei.

Even Liu Wentao gasped.

”Hiss...”

The reporting agent also gasped.

Not knowing Shen Fei’s details, they were quite startled.

Usually, Tier Four Abyss Cores aren’t obtained by lone hunters, but Shen Fei appeared to be part of the Breaking Abyss Army.

Not really a lone hunter.

After the shock, the tally continued, becoming increasingly alarming.

Zhao Ke became curious, ”Haven’t you always been roaming in the Second and Third Zones? How come a Tier Four appeared today?”

”It came looking for me.”

”You rascal, the Battalion Commander advised you not to kill so ruthlessly. Our Breaking Abyss Army here, several teams combined haven’t delivered such impact so quickly.”

Zhao Ke sighed.

”You’re all done, Tier One: 23, Tier Two: 143, Tier Three: 32, Tier Four: 1.”

”Really, Abyssal Creatures might be extinct because of you.” Liu Wentao shook his head.

”That would be ideal; given the chance, not just the Abyss Edge, I’ll wreak havoc in the Abyss too!” Shen Fei said with a smile.

Zhao Ke nodded, ”Ambitious, and I believe you can.”

”You’re flattering me! I’ll head off; my girlfriend is waiting for dinner.” Shen Fei turned to leave when someone called out.

”Shen Fei!”

”Battalion Commander?” Shen Fei turned, finding it was Liu Wentao.

”Come in, let’s discuss something.” Liu Wentao frowned, causing Shen Fei to suspect something had happened.

”Okay.”

...

Shen Fei listened to Liu Wentao’s explanation, ”I’m representing South China’s new generation in Abyss expansion?”

”Governor Han assigned this, saying he’ll reserve a spot for you.” Liu Wentao said helplessly.

”But aren’t those expanding in the Abyss usually at least First Transformation professionals? New generation though...”

”New generation means those under 30 reaching Tier Three; Abyss expansion is indeed dangerous, but offers rich resources, considered a reward and challenge for geniuses.”

Liu Wentao explained, ”Moreover, it’s one of the five military districts’ joint endeavor, a unique form of competition.”

”When?”

”Three months later.”

”So in three months, I need to reach level 30 and undergo First Transformation?”

”Yes. If you choose to participate, Governor Han mentioned.

If you opt to participate, you can select a Summoned Beast with quality ranging from Epic to even Legend.”

”Huh?”

Shen Fei was taken aback by the mention of Epic and Legend, overwhelmed by the generosity.

”Yes. However, expanding the Abyss is notably risky, Governor Han isn’t forcing participation, you can also inform him after university entrance exams.”

”Alright.”

Shen Fei nodded, considering the lack of urgency, pondering further, but suddenly recalled the matter of demons.

”Has the investigation into those demons turned up anything?”
