Chapter 136

Summoning a Spirit Servant from the Hall of Heroes is a rather important matter for a mage.

The Transcendent paths on the Tianming Continent can be roughly divided into five categories: Mages who obtain power from Badge Stones, Secret Mages who use Faith to pray, Knights who excel at defense and close-quarters combat, Martial Masters with grand, sweeping moves and explosively fiery tempers, and Assassins who excel at lurking in the Shadows.

Each Transcendent path also has different advancement stages and branches; for example, Mages are divided into Badge Stone Magic, Natural Magic, Black Magic, and so on.

Similarly, not every Transcendent can only possess a single Transcendent path.

For instance, the ancestor Rose Swordsman that Mu mentioned earlier is a typical multi-path Strong One — Natural Magic, Transcendent Swordsmanship, and Holy Knight Physique; that is the capital with which he could run rampant across the Continent.

Of course, not everyone can be like the legend of the Rose Swordsman, possessing Transcendent power of multiple paths.

Nor does having more paths mean being stronger; after all, the strongest at Full Moon Academy, the Full Moon Queen who is claimed to be the Human True God, is merely a single-path mage of Cold Ice Magic.

Most people's bodies can only adapt to one or two paths.

In this situation, Spirit Servant Summoning is quite important for the Mage path.

After all, not every mage is like Big Boss, who can brawl with Dragonblood.

Most mages have frail bodies that are easily surpassed; relying on Spirit Servant Summoning to find a meat shield for themselves can effectively increase their survival rate on the Battlefield.

No wonder Professor Jerryl's elective course is about to become a required course.

"Scream, how is it a Rank 1 Stone Spirit Monster! This is way too weak……"

"The weak one is not the Spirit Servant, but you; your spiritual power fundamentally cannot call forth a powerful existence, trash." Professor Jerryl mocked ruthlessly.

With yet another student withdrawing in regret, the only students left in this class who had not yet summoned a Spirit Servant were the Big Boss trio.

"Heh, as expected, when it comes to acting cool, it still has to fall to me."

Mu looked at the surrounding classmates whose expressions were none too good, and smiled contemptuously.

After all, today is the first class; everyone's understanding of the formula is not that deep yet. Except for a very few people who summoned the Spirit Servant they fancied, the rest all ended in regret.

This made Mu, this Defying Heaven thing, feel like he was on a roll again.

It is universally known that when everyone around is no good, Mu won't think the matter is difficult; he will only think the others are trash.

And he is not trash, so he will definitely succeed.

This is Mu's First Law.

Thus, he confidently walked to the front of the Summoning Array, not even glancing at Professor Jerryl's incomparably gloomy Expression, bit his Finger, and pressed his Palm directly onto the center of the Ritual Array.

"Rebirth, my Spirit Servant!"

Your Spirit Servant isn't dead yet…… Karenina poked her head over with a face full of resentment.

The next instant, Golden Light flickered in the room, and a singing voice like Sanskrit Chant permeated the room.

"This is, Golden Legend?!"

"Hmph hmph, Mortal, this is the difference between me and you."

Mu Cold Snorted, stood with Hands Behind Back, and quietly awaited the Spirit Servant's arrival.

A few seconds later, the Golden Light faded, and a bald youth wearing a black Long Robe appeared In Front of the Crowd.

This is the Spirit Servant's full release state.

"Master, I have heard your Summon!"

"Good!" Mu shouted: "That, who are you?"

Bald youth: "Correct, I am Nawi."

Mu: "???"

"Master, my name is Nawi, ability is Unclean Removal." The bald youth floated to Mu's side.

"Unclean Removal, sounds very powerful, hmm, what's the effect?" Mu asked.

"As for the effect…… hard to explain. I'll demonstrate for Master to see." The bald youth Nawi scratched his head, turned to look at the students behind him who looked like curious babies.

He seemed to be a High Stage Spirit Servant to begin with; at this moment, having just arrived, the Golden Light on his body had not yet faded, and that solemn and dignified Appearance made the students feel somewhat ashamed of their own inferiority.

"Is Unclean Removal a buff-type ability, or a magic to remove Curses?"

They secretly thought in their hearts.

Just then, Nawi Raised Hand, and chanted calmly towards all beings: "The filth of you all, let me remove it, let me bear it!"

Golden Light flowed onto every student; they were initially a little Fearful, but when they Discovered they had not been harmed, they put their minds at ease.

Five Seconds later, the phenomenon stopped; the students Looked At Each Other, all showing Doubtful expressions: "Not Right, no harm, and no buff."

"No effect?"

"Activation failed?"

"Hehe, everyone, do you really think there's no effect?" Nawi pressed his palms together: "Look, what is this?"

Only to see several dozen Underwear fly out from behind Nawi, rotating in midair, Piecing Together into various Patterns.

Sometimes a giant Bird, sometimes a steamed bun, sometimes a Butterfly, sometimes a slit of sky.

The students stared at those Patterns, dumbstruck.

A few seconds later, Miserable Screams rose and fell in the room: "TMD, this monk took off my Underwear!"

"Holy crap, where's my Underwear, give me back my Underwear!"

"No, you call this removing uncleanness!"

"Ahhh, my little panties were also Taken Away!"

For a moment, the entire room was filled with men silent and women weeping; a group of students climbed high and ducked low, lunging for their Underwear.

The girls even Squatted on the ground, Daring Not to move, afraid of exposure.

Nawi floated to Mu's side: "Master, are you still Satisfied with my ability?"

Mu's eyes went straight, his Mouth Corner Rose: "Satisfied, really too Satisfied, this is exactly what I Want!"

He had already imagined in his mind the scene when he leads troops to war: before battle is joined, the enemy's entire army's Underwear flies off in unison.

Faced with such a humiliating thing, the enemy would surely lay down their arms and surrender!

Worthy of being my Spirit Servant, just goes along with the Master! "This..." Tifeng's mouth corner twitched, glancing at that Spirit Servant's data.

【Nawi, Word Spirit Sect Monk, expelled from the sect for stealing a male donor's Underwear and violating the Precepts, besides being skilled in theft techniques, also excels at Golden Illumination Technique.】

【Rating: E】

【Inherent Ability·Unclean Removal: Can forcibly strip the close-fitting clothing of lives below one's own Master's level, and perform purification and washing.】

【Inherent Ability·Golden Light: Comes with golden special effects upon entry.】

So that golden light just now wasn't the Ying Hun's high quality, but this guy's entry special effect, huh?

This guy's ability... is just a washing machine, right? Tifeng couldn't hold it in, Jerryl was about the same.

He covered his forehead, waved a hand, and those Underwear fell into their respective Masters' hands, his voice gloomy: "End this farce quickly, next one."

"My turn!"

Karenina took two deep breaths, looked at Li Cheng, then at the students, stepped forward, and walked to the side of that Summoning Array.

She imitated Mu's appearance, bit open her Finger, pressed it on, silently praying in her heart: 'Li Cheng Brother bless me, let me summon a powerful Ying Hun!'

The next moment, seven-colored light flowed through the room, the girl's silver-bell-like laughter rose in echoes.

The students listening to that laughter slowly lifted their heads, faces all showing entranced, intoxicated Expressions.

"This is..." Tifeng checked the Spirit Servant's data, raised an eyebrow: "Heh, didn't expect, someone actually summoned a powerful life on their First Time summoning."

As his words fell, a girl clad in a white Long Robe, with pink double wings on her back, descended from the Sky like an angel.

She slowly opened her eyes, star-like pupils staring at Karenina: "May I ask, are you my Master?"

"I... I am."

Karenina clearly also didn't expect she would summon this level of Spirit Servant, her voice trembling slightly.

Just the First Time descending, her Spiritual Power was nearly drained dry.

"Master, my name is Lena, your name is very similar to mine, so I answered your summons."

The angel floated to Karenina's side, embraced her, the restorative Warlock helping the Purple Hair girl recover Spiritual Power.

"Lena, you chose me just because of this reason?" Karenina still found it somewhat hard to believe.

"Not Only This, but also because the Affinity between me and you, Master, is extremely high." Lena smiled: "Now, let me display my Ability for Master."

Speaking, she also turned, looking toward the students.

Students:...

Seriously, do you guys have some Disease? Why always use us to test the blade?

With the experience of Underwear flying everywhere just now, these students Instinctively wanted to run, but Lena was really too beautiful, so, whether boy or girl, they actually all unconsciously stopped.

The next moment, Lena's silver-bell-like laughter Resounded: "Reunite, my Lovers!" That voice flowed into every student's Ears, Immediately, the classmates in their eyes all Vanished.

Replacing them were each one's own Lover, or the objects they imagined.

Immediately, these students embraced together, sounds even more Terrifying than just now transmitted from their mouths: "Small fry small fry, come Lick my feet, small fry~"

"Hehehe, I want to be your dog~"

"Mama, Mama~ anyway just call me Mama and it's right, Brothers won't lie to you~"

"This Miss, you also don't want your own ditch to have no Underwear to wear, right?"

"..."

The scene was even more men silent women weeping, men on top of men, strong men locking men, female male female male Screen, like a crime scene Party, directly Unfolding in the Department.

Most Terrifying was, Due to Mu's Spirit Servant's Operation just now, the students' Underpants in the exam hall had all been stripped off!

Seriously, you two are even using a Combo Skill?

Jerryl was stunned watching.

He never could have imagined, his perfectly good class, how it would Become this Appearance.

Tifeng's mouth corner was also Continuously Twitching.

【Lena, Holy Sect Saintess, expelled from the Organization for organizing large-scale same-sex social gatherings, skilled in Manufacturing Illusions, Inciting Chaos.】

【Rating: S (If not for her innately excessively naughty nature, her Rating would be even higher)】

【Inherent Ability·Chaotic Love: Can, according to the amount of Spiritual Power Paid, make everyone in the target's eyes Become their own Lover.】

【Inherent Ability·Greedy Love: Can make the target, toward their Lover, produce hate-race*, endure-explode* impulses.】

Professor Tifeng holding that Register, looked left looked right, looked horizontally looked vertically, ultimately only made out two words:

"Defying Heaven."

"Alright, hurry up and Cancel this damn Ability for me!" Jerryl slammed the table, glaring at Karenina.

"Oh oh." Karenina only then came back to her senses, Canceled the Spirit Servant's Summon.

Before Lena left, she still deeply looked at Professor Jerryl once, seemingly Considering, next time give him a big one too.

"I f*ck! Why are you on me!"

"Damn, what are you doing, why are you holding my Clothes?"

"Brother, you smell so good..."

The students affected by Lena also finally regained Rationality, they looked at the people hanging on their bodies, and fell into even more Chaotic Chaos.

"Silence!"

Professor Jerryl slammed the table again, released several Calm Mind Curses, only then did this Chaotic scene stop.

Only the students still looked at each other with lingering fear, eyes all holding a few points of Resentment.

"You are truly the most Defying Heaven class I've ever taught." Jerryl pinched his brow.

No, our art style is very File Normal, the abnormal ones are those two Births... the students dared be angry but dared not speak.

"Alright." Jerryl sighed, Gaze moving to Li Cheng: "Finally, only the last one remains?"

"Heh, look who this is, isn't this our great hero, Li Cheng Sir?"

"How about it? Are you prepared? Let us witness just what kind of mighty power the Spirit Servant you summon possesses?"

The mockery and provocation in his words could be heard by everyone.

Thus, the classroom, which had just been buzzing with whispers, fell silent in an instant.

"Hmph, come on then, perform your summoning." Professor Jerryl flicked his sleeve. "Or is it that you don't even have the courage to summon a Heroic Spirit?"

"Because you're afraid your failure will make you fall from your pedestal?"

"Mr. Li Cheng."

"Hey, you need to be careful, Li Cheng. His state is clearly not right!" Lilith lay on Li Cheng's back. "I feel like he's going to stir up trouble!"

Professor Tifeng also slipped his hand into his long robe, staring at Jerryl, gripping his wand tightly.

"The opportunity to summon a Heroic Spirit is something I could only wish for."

Li Cheng smiled and walked toward the summoning platform.

His respawn point had already been set just before he entered the Department. With Regeneration Regression, he fundamentally did not worry about Jerryl's targeting.

On the contrary, he really wanted to see just what this guy intended to do.

Looking at the transmission array he had seen who knows how many times in the PC Version, admiring the hexagram pattern above and the runes composed of ancient languages one by one, Li Cheng bit his finger and pressed his palm onto it.

It was at this very moment that gales rose in all directions, and the necklace Master Tata had given him, inside Li Cheng's embrace, flickered continuously.

It sensed the threat of death.

A manic expression surfaced on Professor Jerryl's face, while Professor Tifeng also stared at him, furrowing his brows tightly, gripping his staff, chanting softly.

Meanwhile, Li Cheng also sensed three distinctly different Arts within that magic array.

The first Art was the most common Hero Summoning Array; this Art was laid at the very bottom.

The second Art was a disruptive Art, seemingly drawn on just now, its function being to interfere with the Summoning Array's effect.

And the third Art was the gloomy power from the Abyss — that bone-eroding cold that devours everything, that death meditation that strikes terror into the heart.

This Art just suddenly appeared in the magic array; no one noticed it.

That cold and deathly aura wrapped around Li Cheng. At the critical moment, he activated his Fate 【Cursed Angel】.

This was the Divine Favor power bestowed upon him by that loli Mother Goddess at the end of the City of Deception.

【Cursed Angel: 【When you activate this Divine Favor Fate, all effects you receive will undergo Causal Reversal. BUFFs become DEBUFFs, DEBUFFs become BUFFs. Duration: 15 minutes. Can only be used once per day.】】

【Detected you are affected by Abyssal Art: Dark Gaze】

【Your Heroic Spirit Summoning is replaced by Art: Abyssal Summoning. You will act as the summoned object and sign a Slavery Contract with the owner of this array, becoming his slave.】

【Your Fate: Cursed Angel has activated. Causal Reversal!】

【Your Art: Abyssal Summoning is replaced by Art: Abyssal Reverse Summoning. You will act as the master and sign a Slavery Contract with the owner of this array, becoming his master.】

Intense purple light flickered continuously in the room. Amidst the jumping arcs of electricity, everyone closed their eyes.

In that piercing sound of electric current, almost all sound vanished, leaving only a soft chant like runic incantations.

Just like that, three minutes passed.

Only then did the crowd murmur amidst the trembling: "No way, bro. The scale of your Spirit Servant summoning array is way too big."

"Damn, even knowing Li Cheng is strong, this is too excessive, right?"

"Right. With such intense light, what the hell did this guy summon?"

"Could it be an SSS Grade Heroic Spirit?"

"..."

They muttered, and opened their eyes.

It was at this very moment that their pupils contracted to pinpoints.

They saw that in the summoning magic array before Li Cheng, half of Professor Jerryl's body was stuck inside it, staring blankly at Li Cheng.

While the other half of his body was still standing below the podium, the summoning magic array floating above that half-body.

It was very obvious that only half his body had passed through the Hero Summoning Array, becoming Li Cheng's Spirit Servant.

The other half had not passed through for the time being.

"Th-that's Professor Jerryl, right? Li Cheng turned Professor Jerryl into a Spirit Servant?" Mu couldn't wrap his head around it. "Th-this is impossible, right? Professor Jerryl didn't go to the Hall of Heroes..."

"Mhm, it must be that I saw wrong."

"Mu... is there a possibility?" Karenina's throat bobbed. "That you didn't see wrong?"

Mu: "Impossible. Absolutely impossible. You're teasing me again, hehe."

Karenina didn't speak, just quietly watched that side.

Mu:...

A few seconds later, he took two deep breaths, fished out the Item Identification Artifact his old man gave him from his embrace, then wiped his eyes, and looked over once more.

Li Cheng looked down at Professor Jerryl from above, smiling warmly: "From today on, I am your master, okay?"

Professor Jerryl held his head high, staring dumbfounded at him, lips trembling, voice cracking: "Ma... Master?"

Mu: And Li Cheng then fished out the Magic Book he had just obtained in the Library — the 【Chaos Wish】 that summons female summoned objects with 100% certainty — revealing a sunny smile.
