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

Chapter 53, Undead Vessel

Mission accomplished, it's time to go back to school.

Although several days have passed, the turmoil Chen Hao stirred up at the Qing Campus has not subsided. Unlike the original story, this time Mu Nujiao didn't step in to fill the gap, and many students have lost their cultivation resources for the entire semester.

For those aspiring to make breakthroughs, this was almost tantamount to having a leg cut off. They had nowhere to vent their anger and no power to change anything, so they could only direct their hatred at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao didn't care about that at all. His only concern now was what kind of reward Dean Xiao would arrange for him.

Having more of those low-level public resources is useless; selling them all for cash is not worthwhile, and the school wouldn't allow it. Ultimately, how this loss is calculated depends entirely on Dean Xiao's attitude.

On his first day back at school, Chen Hao was called to the top floor of the library—a place that is not usually open to students.

The view of the Qing Campus is unobstructed from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise building. Dean Xiao stands with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, as if deep in thought, or perhaps assessing the course of a game of chess.

"Dean Xiao," Chen Hao greeted.

Dean Xiao turned around with a gentle smile on his face.

"Chen Hao, I've called you here today to discuss matters concerning public resources. You should understand that different types of resources cannot be completely converted into equivalent value..."

“I understand.” Chen Hao nodded. “As long as there’s no skimming at every level, I can accept any exchange.”

"You're quite frank," Dean Xiao smiled slightly, but then his expression turned somewhat troubled. "To be honest, I don't quite understand you. Your fighting style is so different from traditional mages, and I don't know what kind of resources you lack most. Is there anything you want? Magical tools, magical artifacts, or something else?"

Chen Hao's eyes lit up: He could even choose for himself? What a great deal!
He thought for a moment and quickly asked, "Do you have any high-end necromancer vessels?"

If there's one thing he lacks most right now, it's undoubtedly a useful necromancer vessel. He's destined to hunt demons frequently in the future, and he can't bear to waste the remnant souls he leaves behind. Accumulating enough of them would be an astonishing fortune.

"Undead artifacts? It seems you're quite skilled at hunting demons." Dean Xiao nodded. "However, Mingzhu's undead system has never been strong, and there aren't many decent items like these in the academy's treasury."

At this point, he changed the subject, "However, I do have one personally, which I seized when I wiped out a group of evil sorcerers years ago, but I haven't put it to use yet."

With a casual flick of his wrist, a gray magical ring appeared out of thin air, spinning as it landed in his palm.

Chen Hao examined it closely. The appearance was unremarkable, and he couldn't see anything special about it. He wasn't an expert in this area, but since Dean Xiao had given it away as a gift, it couldn't be some junk.

"What's the capacity of this thing? What level of spirit essence can it hold?" Chen Hao asked directly.

The most crucial factor in determining the value of a necromancer is how much it can hold and how large it is.

“General-level,” Dean Xiao answered decisively. “In terms of capacity, it can store at least twenty General-level essences and hundreds of General-level remnants. If this kind of vessel were put on auction, its conservative estimate would be over thirty million.”

He chuckled as he said, "When you think about it, there's a slight surplus of resources than you're entitled to."

Indeed, things like necromancers are essentially the same as soul-cultivating artifacts; their core is essence. To accommodate a commander-level being, it wouldn't be thirty million, but hundreds of millions.

"Then I must thank the dean." Chen Hao accepted the ring without any hesitation.

With this, his future earning efficiency will increase by at least 50%.

"By the way, Chen Hao, can you tell me what's wrong with your physique? You don't seem like a human at all; you're more like a savage demon. It's not just me; I'm afraid the entire school is confused... To avoid unnecessary panic and suspicion, I hope you can explain a little."

Dean Xiao's tone remained gentle, but his eyes revealed a sense of caution and inquiry.

Chen Hao was taken aback, then gave a wry smile. Sure enough, this was something he couldn't avoid in the end.

“Actually… I’m not quite sure either.” He said slowly, his voice low. “Ever since I awakened the Summoning ability, my physique has become stronger day by day. From lifting 100 kilograms at the beginning to lifting 500 kilograms later, I gradually awakened a kind of physical power.”

“This power… is somewhat like the internal energy in martial arts novels,” Chen Hao continued to embellish. “But it doesn’t rely on magic, doesn’t require chanting, and doesn’t rely on elemental mediums. More often than not, the power emerges as soon as I have a thought, strengthening my body and unleashing speed and strength.”

He slowly raised his arm, gently clenched it, and the bones beneath his sleeve trembled, emitting a low, beast-like roar.

"The more I'm in battle, the more active this power becomes, and it even protects me on its own when I'm losing consciousness. I don't know where it comes from, I only know that it's completely different from magic."

Dean Xiao pondered for a long time before nodding slightly: "Your physique is extremely rare, perhaps a kind of alternative atavism. Chen Hao, I hope you will be cautious. It may be your innate talent, or it may be... some kind of undeciphered inheritance."

His tone was grave: "In the future, you must exercise restraint in front of others. If you don't have to use this power, then don't use it. It's fine to deal with demons, but if you use it against humans, you might get yourself into some big trouble." Dean Xiao didn't say it explicitly, but his words were full of warning.

"I understand." Chen Hao nodded. He knew that the other party was worried about the Institute of Judgment. If they were targeted by those madmen, they might as well prepare to flee for their lives.

He himself knows when to use it and when not to.

"Well, let's go."

……

Unlike Mo Fan, the necromancer was far more valuable than the blood beast boots, so Chen Hao naturally lost the opportunity to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower and any cash reward.

However, he didn't feel regretful. The Three-Step Tower's resources are most effective on the first entry, and he would get them sooner or later; there was no need to rush.

His life returned to peace and routine. He attended classes and cultivated every day, his magical energy across the major systems progressing in a balanced manner, and his life level steadily increasing. He honed his combat skills with a hunter mission every week, and every now and then he would go home to visit his father and replenish his summoning magical energy.

Time flies, and seven or eight months have passed in the blink of an eye. The first year of Mingzhu Academy is coming to an end. And the "nightmare assessment" that looms over the entire Qing Campus is finally approaching.
