The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

[Summoned Beast: Armored Spider (Star Candle)]

[Level: 12]

【Power 144】

[Body Condition 144]

【Agility 96】

【Spirit 96】

【Innate Talent: Life Armor: Effect 1, Covers the body with hard armor, greatly increasing defense.】

Effect two: Unleashes the latent power of the nail plate, granting it penetrating properties.

[Adaptive to Toxins: Effect 1: Can nullify all toxins weaker than itself, or weaken the effects of toxins stronger than itself.]

Effect two: The poison within the body can converge at a single point, causing a powerful paralysis and corrosive effect on the target.

After looking at the Star Candle panel, Lu Yuan felt that he had embarrassed her a little.

The basic attributes are several times different!

This made him marvel once again at the terrifying power of life. Before being infused with the power of evolution, Star Candle's basic attributes averaged less than 70.

It has now almost doubled!

Outrageous!

This growth potential, before it has even fully evolved, has already increased from the original 23 points of base attribute per level to 40 points, reaching the limit for rare professions!

Not to mention comparing him to a regular-tier summoner.

but.

"Will the failure of the evolution directly cause any problems for Star Candle?"

The textbook states that no evolution can be interrupted; once interrupted, it is a failure.

The consequences could range from minor health problems to death.

Although he wanted to grit his teeth and continue, his vital functions also needed time to recover.

No, ordinary evolution is very low-level; its potential is exhausted after only one or two attempts. It's incomparable to your advanced evolution, which involves mastering the power of life.

They even differentiate between low-end and high-end...

Lu Yuan nodded, then asked, "Can the recovery of vital functions be accelerated?"

This is for the sake of evolution, nothing more.

As the number of summoned beasts increases in the future, the current evolutionary power of the Life Authority will definitely not be enough.

As your level increases, your life force will also strengthen, whether it's your recovery speed or the intensity of your evolutionary power.

Once you reach level 60, the Life Power will unlock additional effects.

Lu Yuan immediately became expectant.

But leveling up isn't that easy. It's been almost a month since he changed jobs, and he's only leveled up 11 times.

The reason for this is that experience acquisition is almost always a process of upward mobility with no downward mobility.

The more levels you skip upwards, the more experience you gain; but the experience gained downwards will decrease indefinitely.

This is a qualitative change; level is quality, and experience is quantity. If the former improves, the latter will be compressed if it remains unchanged.

Therefore, it is impossible to level up by fighting low-level monsters, which means that every step forward in advancing to the next level involves facing danger head-on.

Those who think of accumulating wealth gradually over time have mostly faded into obscurity.

This is also the fundamental reason why teaming up is so popular nowadays: more people means more power and less danger.

He looked at the blankets, which were soaked with sweat. Although the starlight provided warmth and prevented him from feeling cold, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As for Xingzhu, she had already fainted, and there was a faint, lingering smell on her body that she could only deal with herself after she woke up.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Yuan relaxed and sat down on the sofa. His mind, which had finally calmed down, felt like he had forgotten something.

It shouldn't be important, right?

I thought about it carefully.

"Oops, did I forget Mom outside?"

Lu Yuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, remembering the torrential rain last night that had almost crushed the trees, and immediately ran to open the door.

Seeing that the hallway was empty, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Luckily, he hadn't been waiting for a long time; they must have gone to his neighbor's house.

Thinking of this, he sent a text message and went back to the sofa.

Exhaustion surged over him like a burst dam, and he quickly closed his eyes in a daze.

……

As dawn broke, in the suburbs.

In the beginner dungeon, Qi Hu, standing atop a massive lizard head, smugly laughed, "Level 14 BOSS, easy to take down."

"What's with all this talk about MVP? He's the one who tanks the most damage and deals the most damage. Do you really think we can't do without him?!"

"Exactly." Jiang Feihai also smiled. "At the current rate, we should be able to reach level 16 by tomorrow, while Lu Yuan won't even have a summoned beast left."

"Resummoning him requires preparing materials. Even if he sells the house, the back-and-forth delays mean he'll probably still be level 12 on the day of the assessment, and he definitely won't be able to pass." He couldn't hide his joy as he said this.

Who can understand the joy he felt when he learned that Lu Yuan's summoned beast was about to die? It was even more exhilarating than winning the lottery!

Everyone here is a summoner, but he's at a higher rank. Not only does he have an extra summoning slot, but he's also more likely to summon powerful summoned beasts.

But the result?

Looking around, there were two short, thin, and grotesque fellows who had no talent.

In contrast, Lu Yuan's summoned beast was powerful enough to overwhelm his two summoned beasts, and it even had a human form.

She's even more stunning than the most beautiful girl in the school!

With just one glance, he couldn't sleep at night, tormented by relentless jealousy.

Why? Why would such an exceptional person respond to Lu Yuan instead of him, who is of a higher rank?

She deserved to die!

Jiang Feihai felt exhilarated for almost the entire past two days.

In contrast, Jiang Yumian was much calmer. For her, breaking off her relationship with Lu Yuan was simply a way to go further in life.

"The beginner dungeons are no longer difficult for us. It's about time to move on to higher-level dungeons so that we can level up faster."

Before the assessment, we need to be at least level 18 for Wang Yang to agree to join the team.

With him joining as the second person from the seven academies, we have a 100% chance of becoming the academy team and securing second place in the assessment!

The three of them were in high spirits upon hearing this, especially Susan, whose eyes were full of anticipation.

just.

As she left the instance and the score was tallied, Jiang Yumian couldn't help but frown.

73 points, even though he was the MVP.

But she was still a little dissatisfied.

She couldn't get it when Lu Yuan was around, and now that he's gone, she can get it but still can't score over 80.

This is the lowest score Lu Yuan has ever received.

However, upon reflection, the score he achieved had nothing to do with him personally; it was the performance of his summoned beasts.

That spider woman... is indeed a bit special.

……

A gentle breeze blows, and the light and shadows sway.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes; it was already dusk.

The white duvet cover from last night was hanging on the balcony; the stains were gone, and it looked clean and tidy.

In addition, his wet clothes were also dried.

These were things her mother used to do, but since Xingzhu answered the call, she has taken over all of them.

Whenever it has free time, it will clean and tidy up the house, making it a spider with a slight obsession with cleanliness.

"Wake up, wake up, are you awake?"

A small head peeked out from behind the pushed-open door; the head had silver-white hair and a slightly flushed face.

The purple armor extended out again, flowing around her petite and delicate body like water. Without the corrosive poison, she looked much better.

"Hmm." Lu Yuan was also a little unsure of what to say.

The man and the spider remained quiet for quite a while.

"Shall I... Shall I make something for the Summoner to eat first?" Star Candle broke the silence and asked.

Lu Yuan hadn't eaten anything since last night and was indeed very hungry, so he nodded immediately.

Then, Xingzhu slowly moved her feet, walking towards the kitchen without showing any unusual behavior.

Soon, the sound of stir-frying filled the house.

Lu Yuan slowly exhaled, picked up his phone, and started reading the text messages.

My mother did indeed spend the night at the neighbor's house. She told him it was alright and then went to work.

She supports her family on her own and is busy most of the time, so she only went home once yesterday morning.

As for his father, he died in a sudden attack by a giant beast when Lu Yuan was ten years old.
