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

Chapter 40, Beast Fighting Tournament

That evening, Department Head Jiang Yunming suddenly notified all new students in the Summoning Department to gather in the classroom.

There were eight people in total, but only seven showed up.

It was only then that Chen Hao met the remaining four classmates for the first time. They had obviously just registered and were still somewhat unfamiliar and wary of each other.

"To make a long story short," Jiang Yunming said, standing in front of the podium with a stern expression. "This year, our Summoning Department enrolled a total of eight new students... but one of them, due to the impulsive actions of some people, is still unable to attend school normally."

As he spoke, he gave Chen Hao a meaningful look.

Chen Hao remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the gunpowder hidden in those words at all.

“There aren’t many courses in the Summoning Department. Even at Pearl Academy, this department mainly adopts a laissez-faire teaching style,” Jiang Yunming continued. “Aside from a few key courses each week, you can cultivate freely at other times, or you can audit classes in other departments.”

He paused, his expression becoming slightly more serious: "However, your top priority right now is a special event for Welcome Day. It's a long-standing tradition of the Mingzhu Qing Campus—the Beast Fighting Tournament."

At that time, all the new students will take turns challenging your summoned beasts.

"Your summoned beasts are your face. If you lose face, you lose face for the entire summoning department. If you perform poorly, you will lose all the resources for this semester."

"The top two performers will be rewarded with a bottle of Beast Refining Blood, which is the most valuable resource you can currently obtain."

"That's it, it's over!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yunming slipped out of the classroom like a gust of wind, quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

Back in their dormitory, everyone immediately gathered around to discuss strategies for the Beast Fighting Tournament. Each person gave a brief self-introduction, then summoned their respective beasts and displayed their skills.

Chen Hao stood aside and observed quietly, secretly praising the overall quality of this year's Summoning class, which was much better than he had expected.

Aside from himself, the strongest was actually that seemingly carefree, overweight guy—Gao Yuntao. Who would have thought he had actually contracted an advanced-stage berserk crocodile turtle? That guy was covered in armor, with sharp fangs, and its fighting power was so strong that even Feng Ziming's Silver Rock Gorilla would have to admit defeat.

The group immediately discussed the order of battle, and many suggested that Chen Hao be the last to perform. He readily agreed without hesitation. After the tactical deployment was completed, he returned to his room alone to cultivate, completely undisturbed by the upcoming competition.

……

The following day was New Year's Day!
The grandest annual festival at the Qing Campus has finally arrived. As soon as it was light, groups of returning and new students eagerly gathered at the Qing Arena, just to see what the quality of this year's Summoning Department freshmen was like.

The Beast Fighting Challenge is not only a competition, but also an unspoken ritual for resource allocation among freshmen and departments, attracting countless eager eyes every year.

"Have you found out everything? What are those eight summoning-type summons?"

"I've found out everything. This generation is going to be tough! Three servant-level advanced summoned beasts: Silver Rock Gorilla, Bull-Horse Beast, and Rampaging Crocodile Turtle. They're all formidable opponents."

"Tsk, this is going to be difficult. Those resources will probably be harder to seize now."

"Don't forget the fire element. I heard that two ruthless people have emerged this year, Dongfang Lie and Ding Yumin, both mid-level mages. Legend has it that one is violent and the other is cold and beautiful, both very ruthless."

"Hehe, Ding Yumin is really beautiful, I must pursue her!"

"Are you getting carried away, huh?"

……

The campus is now covered with colorful ribbons printed with various summoned beast patterns, and huge posters of past Beast Fighting Tournament stars are displayed on the main road, each one looking radiant and handsome enough to make one envious.

Early in the morning, seven summoning-type freshmen, dressed in school uniforms and with their appearance tidied, arrived at the backstage of the Qingdou Hall, ready to go.

The Qingdou Arena is as vast as a stadium, with its central arena resembling a giant iron cage, shrouded in layers of barriers—the main stage for today's spectacle: the "Beast Fighting Cage." Surrounding the cage are tiered seating areas, cascading like waves around the main arena, creating a breathtakingly impressive sight from above. Conservative estimates suggest that the arena can accommodate tens of thousands of people simultaneously, a testament to the immense wealth of Mingzhu Academy.

Visitors lined up early from noon, and the influx of people entering the venue brought the atmosphere to a climax.

A grand battle feast for summoners is about to begin!
As the lights inside the cage gradually rose, the entire Qingdou Arena was brightly lit.

"Welcome everyone to the annual Freshman Beast Fighting Tournament at the Qing Campus!" The first to speak was naturally Dean Xiao.

"Before the competition begins, I want to make one thing clear to you. If all you want is to be respected, earn a lot of money, and live a high-quality life, then you've come to the wrong place..."

Dean Xiao's voice was amplified throughout the entire arena, and after a string of useless nonsense, he finally got to the real topic.

"This is a stage for new students, the starting point for your future! Today, new students from different departments will challenge the Summoning Department!"

The entire audience erupted in cheers and thunderous applause.

"So, which of you summoners will go first?"

As soon as Dean Xiao finished speaking, a wind wolf appeared on the fighting platform, howling to the sky and creating a whirlwind!
"I'll go first!" Following the established strategy, Lin Haijie was the first to go. His Wind Demon Wolf was second only to the advanced stage in the entire dormitory.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!" Sure enough, the handsome Wind Demon Wolf caused a stir among the crowd as soon as it appeared, especially those who had never seen a demon before, who were extremely excited and couldn't wait to go up and try it out.

"New students can now take on the challenge. A maximum of five people can participate at a time, and teams can be formed freely!" the referee reminded them.

"I come!"

"I'll go too!"

"Add me one!"

……

"next."

……

In no time, ten people were eliminated. There was no way around it; at the same level, demons were always stronger than humans. Although Chen Hao did not agree with this view, it was common knowledge in the magical world.

In the end, Wind Demon Wolf defeated 20 people in a row before finally losing, a very good result.

"Well done! With this, you only need to eliminate another eighty people to guarantee resources for this semester," Jiang Yunming said with a smile.

"Teacher, can I get a bottle of beast blood?" Lin Haijie asked expectantly as he returned to the sidelines.

"Well, that depends on how the other students perform, but don't worry, you still have a good chance." Jiang Yunming didn't rule out any possibility.

Soon, several more people took the stage, but this time their results weren't as good. Most of them only eliminated a dozen or so people, but they were still close to the target of 100 people.

Please give me your votes, please give me your votes!
