Chapter 221: Ye Xiu Reveals His Secret to Lin Meng

"Ye Xiu, are you alright?"

Lin Meng looked at Ye Xiu with concern, not immediately asking about the summoner matter.

Ye Xiu, as if having made some kind of resolution, walked up to Lin Meng and spoke earnestly:

"Don't worry, sister, I'm fine. To others, the summoner ability is useless, the most worthless supernatural power in this world, but for me it's not without a chance to turn things around."

"Actually, when I awakened, I also gained an extra innate divine ability that lets me draw energy from others, add it to myself, or provide it to my contracted beast."

"Although there are no usable magic beasts to summon and contract in this world, I have sensed that my summoner ability can likewise contract ordinary animals; combined with my innate divine ability, I can still grow stronger."

So, at that time on the awakening platform, after Ye Xiu obtained the summoner ability, he quickly calmed down.

Because he knew that perhaps the summoner ability was the supernatural power best suited to his innate divine ability.

Lin Meng, hearing this, was shocked again and again, and quickly told Ye Xiu to keep his voice down.

"Such an important secret, you never thought of hiding it, not telling anyone?"

Goodness, this kid is too honest.

Lin Meng even broke into a cold sweat for him—this is basically having a cheat! A secret that should be buried in the coffin for a lifetime, Ye Xiu just innocently told her; isn't he afraid she'll blab it everywhere?

Besides, could this brat have a system? Others awakening supernatural power is already the limit, yet he additionally has an innate divine ability.

Moreover, this innate divine ability sounds so unfair—siphoning others' power to boost oneself.

Anyway, if this kid didn't have some little secret, Lin Meng wouldn't believe it at all.

But she isn't lacking secrets either; everyone's got a cheat, no wonder they get along so well.

Ye Xiu, hearing Lin Meng's words, laughed and shook his head, looking at Lin Meng with utter sincerity.

"To you, sister, I don't want to hide anything; you treat me sincerely, so telling you is fine."

Lin Meng raised a hand to her forehead, "Okay, I'm moved that you trust me this much, but from now on you must be extremely careful—best not to tell anyone."

Ye Xiu earnestly nodded in agreement; the guilt in his heart faded, for he couldn't bear to see his sister disappointed, and revealing his secret he does not regret.

Lin Meng, knowing Ye Xiu had a trump card cheat, felt more reassured, and then recalled what she wanted to ask.

"Ye Xiu, what exactly is a summoner? Why do you all consider it a useless ability?"

Ye Xiu froze upon hearing that; it turned out sister didn't know.

But Ye Xiu thought sister had said she wasn't from here, so not knowing about summoners is normal.

So Ye Xiu thought and said:

"A summoner sounds like a formidable supernatural ability, but over the past century, anyone who awakened summoner ability has never managed to summon even a single magic beast."

"People have tried many possibilities; the summoning power seems ineffective against all creatures on the planet, and summoner seniors, after awakening this supernatural ability, possess a set of summoning incantations in their minds, used to summon magic beasts."

"But even now, no magic beast has appeared in the world; experts speculate that magic beasts might be like the uncanny—otherworldly beings—but it seems people of our planet cannot connect with them."

Lin Meng, hearing this, furrowed her brows.

"You just said you can summon and contract ordinary animals?"

Ye Xiu nodded; the summoning incantation in his mind seems similar to what the books say, but not exactly the same.

However, the supernatural ability display shows he is indeed a summoner, no doubt.

Lin Meng thought of a possibility, couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise and look at Ye Xiu.

"You kid, not bad—maybe you awakened a hidden summoner ability; that's good, animals are animals, as long as you can boost yourself."

"But if you get the chance, you could also try using that incantation on other creatures; who knows, you might even be able to contract the uncanny!"

Lin Meng's words inspired Ye Xiu; his eyes lit up instantly, and his heart itched to give it a try.

"Alright, you should head back now; I'm short on time, I'll leave first, and come see you again later."

"By the way, avenging doesn't need to be rushed; remember, no matter how great the hatred, you yourself are most important—don't let hatred lead you by the nose; you still have your sister, don't act rashly."

Lin Meng thought it over, yet still couldn't help nagging a few more sentences.

Hatred can sometimes be motivation, but more often it may be a poison that destroys one's reason.

Ye Xiu deeply etched Lin Meng's words in his heart, then reluctantly returned to the barrier.

Time was up, Lin Meng silently left the uncanny world.

After returning to her room, she immediately contacted Ye Fan.

Although Ye Xiu said it was fine, Lin Meng could still see that he felt regretful about the summoner's inability to summon and contract magic beasts.

If the demon beasts in Ye Fan's world and the magic beasts of the uncanny world are the same species, perhaps the uncanny world is about to see its first magic beast in history.

"Fairy sister, I'm here!"

Ye Fan remains like a loyal little servant, always waiting for Lin Meng's orders.

Lin Meng thought and said:

"Ye Fan, have you ever considered contracting a demon beast?"

Ye Fan shook his head, speaking bluntly:

"Most demon beasts lack full spiritual intelligence, cannot truly be contracted by cultivators, the backlash probability is too high; if possible, naturally one would want to contract a spirit beast."

Lin Meng blinked, then recalled that in the cultivation world beasts are divided into several kinds; only spirit beasts with fully awakened intelligence can easily form contracts with human cultivators.

So she changed her phrasing.

"Ye Fan, I now assign you a task: I hope you can find a spirit beast cub for me; a spirit beast egg will also do, species unrestricted, but it must not be too ugly."

Ye Fan didn't understand why the fairy sister suddenly wanted a spirit beast, but he obeyed her words without question.

He immediately spoke solemnly:

"Ye Fan understands, fairy sister, rest assured—adult spirit beasts are indeed rare, but spirit beast eggs and cubs are relatively easier to find; our sect's beast garden has them, I can try to exchange resources for them."

Lin Meng's eyes lit up at that; she also felt a bit moved, thought it over, and then said:

"If you find any you deem suitable, bringing more is fine; if the cola spirit rice foundation establishment pills and such aren't enough, just ask me for them anytime—these are your rewards for handling my affairs, so don't be shy."

Ye Fan smiled and nodded, but had no intention of asking the fairy sister for materials.

Those few bottles of Coke in the space were enough for him to squander for a while.

At that moment, in the strange world, Cui Cheng was finally found lying in the secret corridor of the teaching building.

When Cui Cheng woke up, he was both angry and humiliated.

The principal personally inquired, "Cui Cheng, do you still remember who did this to you?"

Cui Cheng gritted his teeth and swore he would never forget those mocking eyes.

"She's a young woman, also a lightning ability user like me; she's strong and arrogant, and in a snap of her fingers she pierced through me and knocked me out. I suspect she's a spy, deliberately tailing me to eliminate this young genius."

Principal: "......"

The opponent went to great lengths to sneak into the school, yet only managed to pierce Cui Cheng's shoulder?

Oh no, she also slapped him twice.

The principal stared at the slap mark on Cui Cheng's cheek, falling into deep thought...
