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

Chapter 42, Chen Hao makes his appearance.

What's even more astonishing is the figure on its back.

Encased in heavy armor, his thick boots clanged as he carried a greatsword and a bow on his shoulder, looking like a medieval steel knight stepping out of a painting.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

"What kind of strategy does this guy have? Is this how summoners are supposed to be?"

"Isn't that a knight? Wearing armor, mounted on a horse, wielding a heavy sword... When did summoners become melee units?"

"Is he crazy? Does he think wearing armor makes him immune to fire magic? His Fierce Fist will melt you into molten iron."

The audience erupted in chaos! Not only the freshmen, but even the seniors were shocked, and the judges were dumbfounded.

On the high platform, Dean Xiao narrowed his eyes, his expression inscrutable, but a slow smile crept onto his lips: "Interesting..."

On the stage, Dongfang Lie looked at Chen Hao with a mocking expression, as if he were looking at a fool: "Which dilapidated temple did you crawl out of, you medieval remnant? Do you really think you can scam me by wearing a tattered tin coat?"

Chen Hao sat on the back of the ox and horse, listening quietly, neither angry nor speaking, only placing his hand on the war bow on his back.

His tone was as calm as still water: "You're the one trying to scam me. You clown."

Before he finished speaking, he instantly drew his bow and shot an arrow!
The heavy alloy war bow had a draw weight of nearly two tons. The moment the bowstring was fully taut, the mechanical structure made a "clicking" sound, like a ferocious beast about to be released.

The arrow tore through the air in the next instant!

"Whoosh!!!"

A sharp metallic whistle pierced the sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, heading straight for Dongfang Lie's chest!

Dongfang Lie's expression changed drastically. He didn't have time to cast a spell or even to exclaim in surprise—the speed was too fast, so fast that it seemed like there wasn't even time to react!
Before the audience could even gasp, the arrow was already upon them!

"call!!!"

At the critical moment, an invisible force suddenly appeared, stopping the Sea Gold Arrow firmly less than a finger's width from Dongfang Lie's chest. The arrowhead was still trembling, its sharpness fully revealed, and the shockwave it generated caused Dongfang Lie's hair to fly wildly and menacingly.

The whole place was dead silent.

That arrow seemed to freeze time and space.

The arrow remained motionless, its killing intent undiminished; yet Dongfang Lie was struck as if by lightning, his feet trembling, cold sweat pouring down his face, and for the first time, true fear appeared in his eyes.

"It...it actually stopped?"

"Was he trying to kill someone just now?!"

"That was too fast! The referee couldn't even react! Who stopped it?!"

The audience erupted in cheers and screams. Several department heads stared at Chen Hao's bow with grave expressions, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What kind of magical artifact is this? It doesn't emit a single magical fluctuation, yet it can kill in an instant?"

The referee in the arena, a light-element teacher, was pale-faced and muttered, "If it weren't for the dean's intervention... Dongfang Lie would already be dead."

On the fighting platform, Chen Hao slowly put away his bow, his expression still calm, as if that earth-shattering arrow was just a casual practice.

He lightly patted the neck of the oxen and horses, his tone indifferent:

"You're dead, clown. Get out of here!" Dongfang Lie swallowed hard, his face pale. He stiffly took two steps back before collapsing to the ground. He couldn't even utter a sarcastic remark, nor could he muster any anger. He could only slink off the fighting platform, looking like a beast whose teeth had been completely pulled out.

The entire arena fell silent, all eyes still fixed on the knight riding the bull and horse, their astonishment still lingering.

At that moment, Chen Hao spoke, his voice clear yet steady, resounding throughout the entire Qingdou Hall:

"Dean Xiao, I have a question."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone instinctively turned to look at the stage. Even the audience, which had been buzzing with discussion just moments before, gradually quieted down.

Dean Xiao paused for a moment, then showed interest: "Go on."

Chen Hao surveyed the entire room, his tone calm yet resolute: "Our Summoning Department hasn't reached the target of 100 people, so our resources for this semester will have to be allocated to other departments. Even if we win, we'll only retain the existing resources without any additional benefits. Isn't this arrangement too unfair?"

This step is essential. Only after asking Dean Xiao and getting his answer can the subsequent indicator possibly take effect. If you don't ask, you might foolishly make 200 calls, only to be told that it's not true and then given some random piece of junk information to brush you off.

Dean Xiao chuckled upon hearing this, glancing at the heads of the other departments.

"Chen Hao, that's a very good question. We have actually considered this. After the standard of 100 people, there is another standard. That is, if the Summoning Department students can withstand the continuous magical bombardment of 200 people, then all the cultivation resources of all departments in this year will belong to the Summoning Department!" Dean Xiao answered loudly as well.

boom! ! !
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
"What?! All resources?!"

"You're not kidding, are you? That's too ruthless..."

"Oh my god, if the summoning system steals it, what's the point of us continuing our training?"

Many students' expressions changed drastically; their smiles, which had been watching the spectacle, froze on their faces.

They had never heard of this "hidden clause" before, and originally thought that the Summoning system was just a discarded pawn of Mingzhu. Now they realized that once they completed the challenge, they would turn the tables and completely turn the tide!
Dean Xiao smiled slightly, regaining his elegant and composed demeanor: "Alright, I've answered your question. Do you have any other questions?"

Chen Hao nodded, a sharp glint in his eyes, and calmly replied, "That's all, you can continue the match."

Unlike some who publicly proclaim, "I want all your resources," he didn't make any rash threats in the heat of the moment. But the ambition in his eyes at that moment was more terrifying than any arrogance—

It's not that he doesn't desire all of that; he simply knows how to restrain himself. He's not making a fuss now to avoid alerting the enemy and being maliciously targeted by "special means" along the way. When the number of people approaches 200, then he can launch a surprise attack—that would be the safest and most brilliant strike!
"After all, that's the resource of the entire department."

……

Chen Hao slowly put away the Sea Gold Battle Bow, sat steadily on the bull-horse beast, his expression calm, but his eyes were as sharp as a falcon's.

The audience erupted in chaos, with students from various departments discussing the matter at length, creating a noisy and bustling atmosphere in the arena.

Is this what you call a show of force?

"I finally understand why some people say that this year's summoning class is different... each one is more outrageous than the last."

"But no matter how strong he is, don't even think about having 200. The people who come on later will only get stronger and stronger... He can't possibly withstand that."

Compared to the shock and commotion of the other students, the counselors and faculty advisors of each department looked rather somber.

"Dean Xiao, you've never mentioned this rule to us before," Director Lei said coldly, his tone carrying a hint of accusation.

"These are the academy's rules, not my personal rules." Dean Xiao smiled and took a sip of his tea. "As you all know, it's been difficult for the Summoning Department to survive for more than a hundred years. Who has actually read this second rule carefully?"
