Chapter 11: Another Immortal-Grade Spirit Pet! The Divine Skill True Eye!

Never mind the third beast pet — even a thirtieth would have been summoned long ago.

But right now Lu Zheng still hadn't decided which one to reveal as his third beast pet. After all, going by his current hidden plan, he needed to find a powerful beast pet to help with the upcoming Professional Exam.

After seeing that the number of empty summon slots was nearing a hundred, Lu Zheng smiled and said:

"Wait a little longer."

Yang Dong didn't say anything more when he heard this. After all, a four-star rare-quality Crescent Carving plus a five-star immortal-grade spirit pet, the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox — that was already impressive enough.

He felt that with just these two beast pets alone, Lu Zheng could absolutely take first place in the entire city.

That afternoon, Lu Zheng began another hundred-pull draw! 【Consumed 1 spell point, successfully activated skill Summoning Art, congratulations, you obtained one-star common beast pet 'Fire Rabbit'】 ×44 Damn it! So many rabbits! I'll have to eat spicy rabbit heads when I get home tonight!

Huh!?

Wait, this is!?

【Consumed 1 spell point, successfully activated skill Summoning Art, congratulations, you obtained four-star immortal-grade spirit pet 'Dungeon Azure Snake'】 ×1 Immortal grade, another immortal grade appeared!! 【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Race: Dungeon Azure Snake】

【Quality: Four-Star Immortal-Grade Spirit Pet】

【Level: LV. 1 (0.00%)】

【HP: 800/800】

【Mana: 80/80】

【Strength: 10】

【Agility: 15】

【Spirit: 20】

【Constitution: 15】

【Skills: True Eye (Passive), Earth Dive, Blood Nether Divine Light, Sky Spirit Wings, Mystic Water Thorn】

The appearance of an immortal-grade spirit pet triggered his hidden talent's passive effect two, granting him another skill.

【Skill: True Eye (Passive)】

【Effect: See through the basic information of targets no more than 300 levels above your own level; all items can be freely appraised; mental control and illusion-type skills have no effect on you; mental damage values no greater than 100 times your spirit stat are nullified】

This was another Divine Skill! Not only did it grant immunity to mental control and mental damage, it could also appraise items — invincible!

Lu Zheng summoned the Dungeon Azure Snake right away. A strange snake over three meters long appeared on the spot, with a massive head, eyes like lanterns, and a purplish-black body.

Yang Dong looked at the snake that had appeared before him and asked in surprise:

"Brother Zheng, is this your new summoned beast? What quality is it? It's only level 1, so why does it give me a sense of oppression?"

Lu Zheng said calmly:

"Four-star immortal-grade spirit pet."

"What!? Another immortal-grade spirit pet!"

Yang Dong couldn't help but exclaim:

"Brother Zheng, are you having an affair with the Goddess of Luck!?"

Lu Zheng smiled without answering. He had pulled thousands of times to get it, so he couldn't call himself especially lucky — but calling him unlucky wouldn't be right either.

"Alright, let's hurry up and keep leveling. From here on, leveling up will slow down."

Before obtaining a first-class professional certification, they could only enter general dungeons capped at level 30. As their personal levels rose, killing wild monsters of the same tier — which used to fill five percent of the experience bar — now might only fill one percent or even one-thousandth. This caused the leveling speed to slow down.

To gain a high leveling speed again, they needed to obtain a first-class professional certification as soon as possible.

Reaching level 30 triggered the first class change, level 60 the second, level 100 the third, level 150 the fourth, and level 200 the fifth.

For the Mage class, before the first class change one was a Junior Mage, after the first class change a Mid-Level Mage, after the second a High-Level Mage, after the third a Grand Mage, after the fourth a Magister, and after the fifth a Grand Magister.

Liyang City, where Lu Zheng currently lived, was only a fourth-tier small city. Its strongest person was a single third-class Grand Mage, but he was often away leveling, so the one managing battle affairs was merely a post-second-class high-level professional.

Around Liyang City there were only low-level dungeons below level 30. To enter mid-level dungeons of levels 30–60, one first needed to reach level 30 and complete the class change.

For ordinary students, this wasn't a concern.

Take Yang Dong for example — even though Lu Zheng was helping him level up, his solo kill speed was ultimately limited. On the first day he had gained three levels in a single day, but later on, gaining one level a day was already decent.

By now, the single minor level from 19 to 20 had taken over two days.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

On this day, after leaving the residential complex, Yang Dong, who had already reached level 22, spoke up:

"Brother Zheng, for the next two months I'll level up with my dad and his group! Your summoned beasts already take away half the experience, and now you also have to leave some kills for me — this drags down your leveling speed too much."

"I'm already over level 20 now. Even if I don't level up at all for the next two months, I can still get a decent result in the National Professional Exam. Besides, I can keep leveling by coordinating with my father."

Lu Zheng thought it over briefly upon hearing this, then nodded and said:

"That works too. You can also learn mage combat techniques from Uncle Yang. Always following along for last hits won't train your combat ability."

Yang Dong, now at level 22, already had three specialized skills: Lightning Strike, Lightning Shield, and Lightning Flash. He could attack, tank, and flee — his survivability was strong. With some additional study of other basic spells, he wouldn't be in too much danger in the low-level dungeons capped at level 30.

The two parted ways. Lu Zheng entered another level 20–30 dungeon, the 'Dungeon Demon Lair.'

His summoned beasts were currently split into two groups. One group consisted of elite-quality summoned beasts led by the Phantom Spirit Cat and the Crescent Carving, which he had left in the Red Demon Forest to continue leveling. The other group comprised Taotie, the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, the Dungeon Azure Snake, and other common-quality summoned beasts.

The mainstay group was used for continuous leveling, providing him with a stable source of experience and base attribute feedback, while the immortal-grade and above summoned beasts naturally received special treatment.

Their strength was formidable, so they didn't need to worry about leveling up in the short term. A single massacre every now and then would be enough to surge their levels.

In any case, before Lu Zheng's own level reached 30, he had no way to hunt higher-tier monsters, and the experience gained would be limited regardless.

The Dungeon Demon Lair was a place Lu Zheng had specifically chosen to let Taotie have a big meal.

In dungeons like the Red Demon Forest — open-air areas — any disturbance would immediately attract attention. Lu Zheng worried about being found and having to settle accounts later, so he chose this underground dungeon.

Moreover, he had heard that such underground dungeons would spawn treasure chests — maybe he could obtain treasure!

The moment he entered the Dungeon Demon Lair, two people arrived at the entrance right after him.

Mu Yunlan looked at her guard Zhao Kai in confusion and asked, "Uncle Zhao, why are we coming here instead of going to the Red Demon Forest? Why go out of our way?"

Zhao Kai said earnestly:

"Miss, that disaster-level monster currently has no accurate news; it doesn't know when it will pop out again. The Red Demon Forest is too dangerous. But the underground demon lair is different: the space inside is cramped, and that monster is so huge that it definitely can't cause trouble in this instance, so it's the safest."

Mu Yunlan suddenly understood and smiled.

"Then let's set off!"
