Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 17, Part 17: Oxen and Horses
Now, he has a clearer understanding of his own strength. With this set of equipment, he can easily suppress servant-level enemies unless there are too many of them or they are in the advanced stage.

This set of equipment should last him a long time. Even if his health level increases again, it probably won't be as high as the boost from the equipment.

With this in mind, he decided to put aside the improvement of his life level and focus all his efforts on accelerating his summoning cultivation, striving to reach the third level of the initial stage as soon as possible. Only in this way could he possibly compete for a spot at the Earthly Sacred Spring this year.

As for next year's spot, forget about it. Mu Zhuoyun has already reserved it as a prize for the duel between Mo Fan and Yu Ang. No one else can even dream of it.

There's nothing we can do; that's the power of the local bullies.

However, if one wants to compete for the qualification to cultivate at the Earthly Sacred Spring, one must be outstanding enough. Although he is very good at fighting, his methods are too unconventional, and some old-fashioned people may not approve of him.

Ideally, one should successfully summon a summoned beast. This way, upon reaching the third level of the initial stage, one can better persuade Principal Zhu and others to help secure a cultivation qualification.

……

Time flies, and summer vacation has quietly passed.

Chen Hao, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou went on a demon-hunting mission once a week on average. Although the subsequent rewards were not as generous as the first time, the overall returns were still far higher than those of most novice hunters.

Within the team, Zhang Xiaohou consciously took on the role of logistics and agent—selecting missions, coordinating bounties, and handling stolen goods, managing everything meticulously. Thanks to his diligence and quick wit, every mission was highly cost-effective.

Therefore, when Chen Hao and Mo Fan divided the spoils, they tacitly gave him an extra 10%—turning it from the initial 10% to 20%, as a reward for his cog-in-the-machine spirit.

Over the course of a few months, Chen Hao's account balance had exceeded one million, while Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou each earned several hundred thousand. For a novice hunter, this was an incredibly rapid rate of accumulation.

But it was precisely because of this that they became incredibly popular at Bocheng Magic High School.

Peers, top students, and elite teenagers all took the initiative to come to their door. Even Xu Zhaoting and Zhou Min, who were usually the most arrogant, condescended to come and expressed their willingness to join, even if they only took a small share.

However, Chen Haoquan refused.

What a joke! Someone as shrewd as Chen Hao, wouldn't he know that he's essentially raising two burdens?

He had certainly considered going solo, after all, the precise profit-sharing every time reminded him how much better it was to enjoy the spoils all by himself. But he didn't have the resources.

Without a necromancer, he couldn't capture and preserve spirits on his own. Even the lowest-grade necromancer, which could only hold servant-level spirits, cost at least five million—he couldn't afford it.

He kept Zhang Xiaohou on the team because he valued Zhang's honesty, obedience, and competence, and because Zhang never caused trouble for his teammates in logistics matters.

Secondly, if it's just a two-person team with Mo Fan, and the spirit essence explodes, but Mo Fan doesn't say a word, Chen Hao can only watch helplessly.

But with Zhang Xiaohou as a third party, things change.

Human nature is such that two people who agree to split the profits can easily fall out; but when three people team up, they can restrain each other and form a delicate and stable structure.

This is why, in countless cases of business partnerships, two-person companies often fall apart, while groups of three or more often operate smoothly, because no one easily oversteps their boundaries.

Chen Hao, however, never chooses to test human nature, even though Mo Fan in the original story is extremely noble.

After the start of the school year, Chen Hao continued to skip classes frequently. He didn't learn much at school and was basically left to his own devices.

At this moment, Chen Hao sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and sank into his spiritual world. The seven moon-white stars of the Summoning System emitted a faint light in the darkness.

Chen Hao skillfully manipulated them one by one, arranging them into a unique star trail. Dimensional Summoning! Activate!
The next moment, Chen Hao's spirit body drifted away from his physical body like a feather, passed through the summoning gate, and entered that mysterious and vast summoning plane.

The wind whispers faintly in my ears, and before my eyes stretches a strange and vast space.

In the distance, huge rocks float, islands covered with sprawling green vines appear, and some blurry, enormous creatures move through the mist.

This wasn't Chen Hao's first time here. He had been working on the same goal recently, but hadn't been able to succeed. That thing was incredibly stubborn.

However, today was different from the past. Chen Hao could feel that his mental power was more refined and stable than ever before, and the construction of the star track was also smoother than in the past, as if the entire summoning plane was responding to his will.

Yes, that's right. Because he couldn't summon it successfully, he got frustrated and chose to take drugs.

Mental Energy Activation Potion, 100,000 per bottle, also known as the enhanced stimulant, an essential potion for summoners.

Chen Hao's spiritual body swiftly flew to the island where green vines and giant rocks floated, and soon found its target. A heavy hoofbeat came from the mist, deep and resonant like a war drum, followed by a deafening neigh.

A strange beast, nearly three meters tall, with the head of an ox and the body of a horse, and covered in dark red rock armor, slowly emerged from the mist. Its eyes were golden-red, its back was like a small mountain, and its muscles were taut, as if it could charge and crush everything at any moment!
The Ox-Horse Beast is a low-level beast species from the Wilderness Continent of the Summoning Plane, with strength ranging from Servant to Warrior level, possessing both explosive power and durability. However, its combat strength is average. Chen Hao valued it entirely because it was an excellent mount; after much thought, he realized that what he really lacked was a means of transportation.

"Today, there will be no more failures." Chen Hao took a deep breath, and his mental energy, like a net, suddenly covered the bull-horse beast!

Sensing the intrusion of Chen Hao's mental power, the bull-horse beast suddenly reared up, letting out a deafening roar. The sound of its hooves was like thunder, shaking the earth. Its will was stronger than that of most servant-level summoned beasts. Layers of wild resistance crashed against Chen Hao's sea of ​​will like waves of rock, trying to completely expel him.

Chen Hao sneered, "You think you can escape now that I've cornered you in your lair?"

He mobilized his mental energy core, increased the pressure again, and released all the active mental energy brought by the potion, condensing it into a mental lock seal, which suddenly fell on the forehead of the bull-horse beast.

Caught off guard, the bull-horse beast had no time to react before its head was branded with a mental lock. It let out a wild roar, trying to resist, and stomped its four hooves on the ground, causing the ground to crack like porcelain.

Cold sweat beaded on Chen Hao's forehead, his mind reeling as if struck by a massive hammer, but he gritted his teeth and held on: "You think I took drugs for nothing? If I don't take you this time, I'll change my name to Chen Ritian!"

He forcefully resisted the resistance of the bull-horse beast, and the mental seal slowly merged into the beast's body over time. Meanwhile, the beast's resistance gradually weakened, and soon the mental seal was completely integrated, signifying that Chen Hao had completely conquered the summoned beast.

The bull and horse stopped roaring and struggling, their massive bodies slowly lowering to the ground.

"Heh, a wise man submits to circumstances. Don't worry, if you follow me, you'll live a life of luxury and won't be treated badly."
