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

Chapter 21, Exceptionally Gifted
Damn, is that even a question? Of course, it's because his soul power broke through. That's all he has to offer, what more could he ask for?

Please follow the steps below to advance to the next level.

Chen Hao was taken aback as a sudden wave of memories flooded his mind—it was yet another secret technique.

Soon, Chen Hao manipulated his mental power, following the guidance of the secret technique, to slowly guide the not-yet-fully-digested Earthly Sacred Spring energy within his body, condensing, compressing, and decomposing that vast and pure soul power—

Then, without hesitation, it blasted towards the summoning stardust, its soul power surging like a torrent, crashing fiercely against the invisible light barrier surrounding the stardust!
"Boom!!"

The entire mental world trembled violently, and the light screen was instantly covered with cracks, like porcelain shattering, before collapsing with a crash!

The next moment, the stardust burst into dazzling light. The seven stars that were originally sparse and slowly rotating now seemed to be pulled closer and connected to each other by some mysterious force, drawing one complex and mysterious trajectory after another!

"Om-"

As the stardust completely disintegrated, the seven star particles rapidly split and multiplied. Each of the originally extremely condensed star particles actually gave birth to six smaller star particles under the infusion of soul power!
In the blink of an eye, the original seven lonely stars in the spiritual world have turned into a total of forty-nine stars!
They circled together to form a real and dazzling nebula, slowly rotating like a small galaxy that controlled its own independent rhythm—vast, magnificent, dynamic, and full of life!

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully advanced!]

[Magic Skill Level: Mid-Tier 1 Summoning]

[Awakening Talent: Summoning Star Enhancement]

The moment the system notification sound ended, Chen Hao opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with unprecedented clarity and sharpness.

He could clearly sense that his spiritual power was surging like a tide, and each star was like a precisely operating magic engine, continuously drawing in the surrounding elemental energy. With each breath, it seemed as if the space itself was slightly vibrating in response to his presence.

The domain of a mid-level mage!
All of this is a bit too easy. You have to remember that Chen Hao only broke through to the third level of the initial stage not long ago, and now he has directly broken through to the intermediate stage.

And all of this is because of the Sacred Spring!
This is the secret behind Mo Fan's incredibly rapid cultivation advancement in the original novel!
Because he has little loaches, because his little loaches can digest the sacred spring water!

Chen Hao looked intently at the altar stone channel, but just one glance changed his expression.

Oh no! He was so focused on drinking that he didn't notice how much the water level in the stone channel had dropped. After all, the stone channel was quite long, and Chen Hao didn't realize that his water storage capacity was only so-so.

Unexpectedly, the water level of the Disheng Spring in the stone channel had dropped significantly! The exposed bluish-black stone surface at the bottom of the ditch could still be faintly seen.

"Holy crap! No way..."

Chen Hao's face darkened, and he quickly got up and walked to the stone canal to examine it carefully. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

He absorbed at least one-tenth of the water in the stone channel at the very bottom of the entire altar!

This is the Sacred Spring!
In the entire city of Bo, there was only this much, and he drank a tenth of it all by himself.

—If those people outside knew, they'd probably skin him alive and offer him as a sacrifice to the heavens!

"Calm down, calm down... I broke through, I reached the intermediate level, it was worth it!"

Chen Hao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, while secretly feeling fortunate.

Luckily, I didn't drink too much, so there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

“I have to do something. Such a large drop in water level will definitely be noticed as something is wrong. I must restore the water level to normal.”

Directly using water is definitely not an option; the Earthly Sacred Spring is completely different from water. The Earthly Sacred Spring water will sink to the bottom like oil, clearly separating from water.

Got it!

Since we can't fill it with water, we might as well just block one section, and the water level will rise automatically.

Since we're going to block it, we have to choose the same material as the stone canal so that it won't be immediately noticeable. As for what will happen in the future, six months later, this thing will be completely sucked up by Mo Fan's little mudfish, and he won't be able to find it on his head at all.

Chen Hao found an inconspicuous corner of the altar, a blind spot in the field of vision for a normal person, and dimly lit, so any damage would go unnoticed. With his superhuman strength and the help of his battle qi, he quickly pried off a piece of the altar stone, slightly polished it into a sharp-edged cube with his battle qi, and then wedged it into the end of the stone channel.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Hao's eyes lit up; it was flawless!

Without careful inspection, it's impossible to tell; it's as if the stone canal was designed that way from the start.

"I'm such a genius!"

With the end blocked, the water level of the Holy Spring indeed rose, almost returning to its previous level. Although there were slight discrepancies in the details, based on his observation, these managers didn't use measuring cups to measure every day, and they were restricted from staying inside for too long. As long as the overall situation was roughly the same, absolutely no one would be able to spot the flaw!
perfect!

……

Sure enough, when the cultivation time was up, the guards simply asked him if he had made a breakthrough and then let him leave without doing any thorough inspection.

Intermediate Summoning Magic!
Chen Hao couldn't wait to go home and try it out. His life level, which had been stagnant for so long, was finally about to take a leap forward.

That evening, Chen Hao declined Mo Fan's monkey celebration, citing the need to rest. He even put off asking Chen Hongsheng about his cultivation progress.

He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the surging yet steady power within his body—

The summoning nebula is more than ten times larger than the initial level three stardust. Each star is like a small sun burning with a faint light, continuously transmitting magical energy to all parts of the body.

As magical energy was infused into him, his flesh, bones, internal organs, and even his soul trembled and strengthened subtly.

The constraints on the level of life are being eroded and torn apart little by little!
[Life Level: Early Servant Level (60.1%)]

[60.2%...60.3%...60.4%...]

Every now and then, the progress bar keeps rising.

After one night, the progress bar has reached 72%.

[Breakthrough expected in 3 days.]

The 40% progress bar only takes three days, and the next level probably won't take much longer either.

……

the next day.

"Dad, I've reached the intermediate level." Chen Hao's words were sure to shock everyone.

The moment he opened his mouth, Chen Hongsheng froze on the spot, wondering if he was still half asleep, and almost spilled the soy milk he was holding.

"W-what did you say?"

He stared at Chen Hao in astonishment, unable to believe his ears.

Chen Hao calmly repeated, "Dad, I'm a summoner, and I've reached the intermediate level."

pat-

The soy milk bowl finally couldn't escape its fate; it slipped from Chen Hongsheng's hands, crashed to the ground, and splattered white spots all over the floor.

As Chen Hongsheng staggered backward, he stared wide-eyed at Chen Hao, as if looking at a monster in his son's skin: "You, you brat, have you gone mad with your cultivation? From the initial stage level two to the intermediate stage, how long has it been?!"

Chen Hao helplessly shrugged: "Your son is exceptionally talented, but it's not good enough?"
