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

Chapter 37, Azure Sky Hunting Grounds
Main campus, Fire Academy training ground.

Flames roared, as hot as a furnace.

Feng Zikun unleashed a fierce punch, instantly turning several training targets to ashes, and the scorching heat wave forced the trainees on the sidelines to retreat repeatedly.

All that remained on the training field were his roars and the howling of flames.

"Brother Kun's temper has been terrifying these past few days..."

"I heard that his younger brother, Feng Ziming, had his summoned beast destroyed at the Qing Campus and was seriously injured. He will be bedridden for at least three months."

"Who did it?"

"A freshman named Chen Hao, a summoner."

hiss--

Upon hearing this, the students who had been watching all gasped in shock.

Summoning system?
A freshman?
How dare they touch Feng Zikun's brother and even seriously injure him?

Feng Zikun abruptly stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at the whispering students with a piercing gaze.

The others were so frightened that they ran away, leaving Feng Zikun standing there with his fists clenched and a gloomy expression on his face.

"Chen Hao!"

……

With about a month left before the start of the school term, Chen Hao wasn't going to waste any time.

His most pressing goal right now is to purchase a spirit-grade nebula artifact to increase his cultivation speed.

A regular Nebula artifact costs over 20 million, while a Spirit-grade Nebula artifact often costs over 50 million.

Even including all the proceeds from the sale in Bocheng, Chen Hao has only made 1500 million so far, with the majority of the proceeds coming from a few demon spirits. He is still a long way from achieving his goal.

This hunter must continue!
As for how to do it, of course it's not a solo effort. He doesn't dare to go out of the Anjie to hunt demons, and the Magic City is not the same as Bo City. After all, it is an international metropolis with more intense competition. Those good bounty missions are simply not available to a mid-level hunter like him.

I can only choose a hunting camp to join.

Which hunting grounds to choose? That's obvious.
The original text already provides the answers. If you can't even understand the answers by copying the homework, you might as well just start over.

……

JA District, Jing'an Old Street.

A three-story gray hunter's office building stands quietly, the sign above the entrance bearing the words "Qingtian Hunter's Office" weathered yet exuding a sense of calm and antiquity, like an old ship that has not yet sunk in the long river of time. The whole building looks like an old teahouse with a blend of Chinese and English, exuding a touch of languor and a touch of mystery.

Chen Hao stood in front of the building, looked up at the sign, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door to enter.

The room was filled with the faint aroma of tea. An old man was lounging in a recliner, reading a newspaper, barely lifting his eyelids. Meanwhile, at the bar, a little girl with pigtails was intently typing on a keyboard, her brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.

"Want to commission me? The starting price is 300,000. I won't take anything lower."

Without even looking up, she uttered that classic catchphrase that's become so well-known in the hunter community.

Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm not here to commission anything, I'm here for an interview. I heard your hunting lodge is recruiting hunter mages who are good at combat."

This statement finally caused a slight change in the atmosphere inside the room.

Lingling finally raised her head, revealing a delicate face like a porcelain doll. Her bright eyes rolled around as she looked Chen Hao up and down.

"It's an interview, so what's your cultivation level?" she asked directly.

"Mid-tier level 1 Summoning, low-tier level 2 Light," Chen Hao replied truthfully. "Oh?" A glint flashed in Lingling's eyes. "Mid-tier Summoning? Do you have any Warrior-level summoned beasts?"

Chen Hao paused for a moment, then shook his head somewhat awkwardly: "Not at the moment."

"Hmm..." Lingling's little face immediately scrunched up, her initial interest clearly waning. "Then you might not be a good fit for our hunting camp. Without a War General-level summoned beast, you won't even be able to survive a mission... Why don't you wait until you're stronger?"

Old Bao, standing to the side, flipped a page of the newspaper with a "whoosh," still not saying a word, but a meaningful smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Hao frowned slightly, then suddenly stepped forward, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Wait, how can you judge my strength solely based on whether I have a War General-level summoned beast?"

Lingling glanced at him, her chin slightly raised, her eyes filled with provocation: "So, how much do you think you are?"

"I can tear servants apart with my bare hands and fight generals hand-to-hand!"

As Chen Hao spoke, he took out his interview tool, a 2.5-centimeter diameter threaded steel bar, and gently bent it into a U-shape.

Lingling's eyes widened suddenly, and her fingers unconsciously stopped on the keyboard.

"Is this... steel bars?" she asked uncertainly.

"Construction rebar, 2.5 centimeters thick, the hardest of its kind on the market." Chen Hao said calmly, as if stating the weather.

He casually pulled out a steel bar of the same specifications from his backpack, held it by both ends, his muscles bulging slightly, his fighting spirit intensifying, and gave it a gentle twist—

"Click!"

That incredibly strong steel bar was twisted into a pretzel by his bare hands, just like a rubber strip!

The room fell silent instantly.

Lingling's mouth was slightly open, and she stared at the twisted steel in his hand as if she had short-circuited.

"This...you're really human?" she finally asked, her voice filled with hesitation and disbelief.

"Am I a demon?" Chen Hao retorted.

"That's quite possible." Old Bao, who was standing to the side, finally looked at Chen Hao properly and nodded, saying, "But it doesn't matter. Interesting kid, you've passed."

"Grandpa?" Lingling looked at Old Man Bao in confusion. This man didn't seem normal at all. Why did he just accept it like that?
"Let's go with him. I think he's quite reliable." Old Man Bao ignored Lingling's doubts and instead looked intently at Chen Hao.

The moment Chen Hao broke the steel bar, he really felt a demonic fluctuation. At his level, his spiritual power was already fully unlocked, so it couldn't have been an illusion.

The aura he felt was very much like that of a Greek Titan!

This piqued his interest.

“Alright then, most of the Hunter's Office's commissions are completed by one or two people. From today onwards, we're partners, newbies,” Lingling said in a mature tone.

"Please give me your guidance." Chen Hao smiled, not minding at all. This was a future cash cow, and might even become his sugar daddy, so he had to serve him well.

Lingling was taken aback by his politeness. She had thought he might look down on her because of his young age, so she had even prepared her Hunter Master certificate.

“Just call me Old Man Bao from now on. This is my granddaughter, Lingling. If you don’t understand anything, just ask her. Don’t underestimate her because she’s young; she knows more than some old hunters,” Old Man Bao said.

"I understand," Chen Hao replied, remaining neither humble nor arrogant.

Lingling raised an eyebrow, her attitude towards this guy changing slightly.

"That's good." Old Bao nodded, stood up, stretched his shoulders, and slowly walked towards the backyard. "You two get to know each other first, I'm going out for a walk."

"Grandpa, what important thing has happened to you recently?" Lingling called out.

"Never mind that," Old Man Bao waved his hand, his figure gradually disappearing into the back hall.
