Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

When Su Muyu finished packing the things they needed to bring, the two were about to leave.

Shen Fei’s communicator suddenly rang.

Gao Ya?

”What’s going on?”

”The aristocratic family’s compensation has been delivered, two weapons, one Origin, and one artifact, all of Mythical Level.”

Upon hearing what Gao Ya said, Shen Fei recalled this matter.

”They’ve handed them all over to me. Should I bring them to you now?”

”Where are you now?”

”Over in West China, there’s something happening in the Kunlun Mountain Range.”

”I’m just about to head over. I’ll wait for you in Chang’an.”

”Alright.”

Something’s happening in the Kunlun Mountain Range too? Shen Fei frowned slightly; although he is the one in charge, and Gao Ya is considered under him, Gao Ya and the other three Vice Judges still have to follow the orders of the Righteous Judgment.

Moreover.

At most, Shen Fei has a nominal position, mainly because he hasn’t managed the affairs of the Breaking Abyss Army and Sword Holders before, and is not informed about many of their details.

If he wanted to command, there would be nothing for him to command.

Of course, if he wanted to know something.

He could find out just by casually asking.

”Let’s go.” Little Pu’s light encompassed Shen Fei and Su Muyu, and the two instantly vanished without a trace.

...

West China Military Region.

Abyss of Ten Thousand Insects.

Outside Insect Extermination Abyss City, countless abyssal creatures, resembling insects, swept like a black tide surrounding the city. With the city at the center, many Professionals pushed outwards thousands of meters.

It was like a small boat in a black ocean, seeming it might capsize at any moment, yet like a small island that stands firm amidst the waves, undisturbed by the tumult.

”Kill!”

”Refreshing, with all these buffs stacking up, it’s hard to die even if you want to.”

”Shen Xingzou’s Summoned Beast is truly formidable!”

”What Summoned Beast? You should call it Lord Shennong.”

...

Countless shouts of killing echoed around, on the outermost defense line of Insect Extermination City, numerous skills combined into a meat grinder, frantically shredding the abyssal creatures that charged forward.

Even if one or two abyssal creatures broke through the defense line, they would be torn apart by the prepared Professionals.

As for the Professionals on the outermost defense line, even if they got injured, green light like waves would spread from their bodies to heal them.

Not only injuries but even various debuffs, fatigue, and the like would be swept clean by the green light, and the consumed stamina and mana would constantly be replenished.

Like a perpetual motion machine, they don’t fear any depletion.

Within Zhenyuan City.

Calamity Shennong was drinking tea with an old man, who was Principal Ye Fengbai from Chang’an University. Although the Five Great Schools are equally renowned, only Imperial University has three Tier Nine figures.

The other universities have only the principal at Tier Nine.

The rest are merely Tier Eight.

So even someone as prestigious as the principal of Chang’an University has to come and guard the Abyss.

”This tea is nice.” Calamity Shennong nodded slightly; it’s not astringent upon entry, and later, a slight sweetness spreads on the tongue, unlike the cloying sweetness of white or brown sugar, it was refreshing and pleasant.

Ye Fengbai laughed heartily, ”If brother likes it, take some back with you when you leave, and bring some for Xingzou to try.”

”No need to take any back to try, the master is coming over soon. But still, I can take a bit.”

Calamity Shennong said with a smile.

Ye Fengbai looked curious, ”Xingzou is coming over?”

”Yes, one reason is to check on the Abyss here, and the other is to seek out the Sword Immortal for some matters.” Calamity Shennong put down the teacup.

”Then I shall await Xingzou’s arrival.” Ye Fengbai sighed, never thought that in just a year, the junior he once thought he knew had grown to such a stage.

What a prodigy.

His growth speed is unparalleled through time, once thought he would dominate his peers with the splendor of a sun illuminating all stars, yet in the end, he surpassed even the older generations, the elder ones as well.

Now.

Those of them who should be guardians for the juniors, providing shelter, must ask for his assistance.

”These potions I crafted specifically target several rather strong Abyssal Worms in this Abyss of Ten Thousand Insects. If another uprising occurs in the future, just crush these potions.”

Calamity Shennong took out four bottles of potions, which Ye Fengbai cautiously received to avoid breaking them.

”Impressive, as always, brother.”

Ye Fengbai saw Calamity Shennong’s intervention sweep away most of the swarming insects with just a wave, and now these are from the aftermath.

”When is Xingzou supposed to arrive? I’ll have the school arrange a reception.” Nowadays, Shen Fei is a significant figure; visiting West China Chang’an University certainly warrants a reception.

”Now.”

Just as Calamity Shennong finished speaking, Ye Fengbai saw light spots spreading, and two silhouettes suddenly appeared in the room, catching Ye Fengbai off guard.

”Greetings, Xingzou.”

Ye Fengbai didn’t expect him to arrive like this; he quickly rose and clasped his fists in salute.

”Principal Ye, no need for formality; how can a junior expect such courtesy from a senior?” Shen Fei evaded with a smile. Knowing Calamity Shennong was still in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Insects led him to teleport here.

”Xingzou, and Su...classmate, please sit.”

Ye Fengbai hastily said. Shen Fei glanced at Calamity Shennong, ”You’re enjoying yourself.”

Calamity Shennong gave an embarrassed smile, ”Well, after the issue was resolved, I sat down for a cup of tea.”

Shen Fei knew it was resolved, just teasing a bit.

”Alright, I’m not saying anything about you. By the way, I forgot to tell you, the Saintess used some of your artifacts for alchemy.”

”Big Boss making potions? Does she even know how?”

”I’m just letting you know.”

The two sat down, and Su Muyu was a bit nervous, after all, this is still the principal of a prestigious school.

”Ah, yet to thank Xingzou for saving us in a critical moment.” Ye Fengbai poured them a pot of tea with gratitude, thinking about how many lives would have been lost without Shen Fei.

Although it’s the Breaking Abyss Army that guards the Abyss, after all, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Insects is in West China.

Chang’an University is in West China, so when the Abyss went out of control, they immediately gathered students and teachers to come and resist.

”It’s my duty.”

Shen Fei said with a smile, ”But indeed now I have something that I’d like Principal Ye to assist with.”

”Feel free to speak.”

”I want to meet One Sword Overthrows Immortal. May I trouble Principal Ye to introduce us?”

”It’s a small matter. With Xingzou’s status, there won’t be any issue.”

Ye Fengbai nodded, as he indeed had contact with Gongsun Manor, after all, they were also an honorary professor at Chang’an University.

Shen Fei was uncertain.

He wasn’t sure if One Sword Overthrows Immortal knew Ning Qingyang was a demon, and if so, whether it was tacit approval, or something else.

In Wu Xia, only the Breaking Abyss Army and Sword Holders have an absolute kill-on-sight policy towards demons, since the army is part of Wu Xia’s orthodox circle, Wu Xia naturally treats demons as targets for annihilation.

But aristocratic families may have some ties with demons.

Gongsun Manor was one of those rogue Tier Ten entities; only Chang’an University had any linkage with them, like how the Tron Clan knew when their family members died.

As a main disciple of Gongsun Manor, Ning Qingyang probably has ways to know.

He didn’t want to have another Tier Ten from Wu Xia’s blood on his hands.
