Chapter 70: This School Is Way Too Obsequious! Summoner Arena Instance!

Lu Zheng is still quite tempted by the idea of not having to attend classes; as a reincarnated person, having managed to stay in school until high school graduation, he is already fed up with the process of attending classes.

Although the vocational university's curriculum is abundant and still focuses on practical combat, his pace differs greatly from that of others.

Studying together would yield very poor results.

For a unique being like himself, enjoying the privilege of one‑on‑one instruction is appropriate; only then can he grow faster.

There is also a demigod waiting for him to take over so he can go find young, beautiful girls!

Seeing Lu Zheng's thoughtful expression, Song Shiyu seized the moment and said, "You don't need to worry about resources. Someone like A Sen, who meets the conditions but hasn't graduated yet, is only doing so to obtain school resources through combat‑power ranking, but your combat power has already reached Saint-level; a special approval has been granted, and fighting them would actually be you bullying them.

Therefore, extracting you for individual cultivation is a matter that the school has unanimously approved after discussion.

We're just waiting for you to nod here.

Seeing Song Shiyu like that is as if he can't wait to deliver resources to himself.

The school has arranged everything, and Lu Zheng has no reason to refuse such a boon!

"Alright, then I'll follow all of Director Song's arrangements!"

Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"Very well! These are the books you need to study; ask me if anything is unclear. The Abyss Demon Lair instance can be explored on your own with your strength. The Lair has nine floors; as long as you stay below the ninth floor, you won't be in danger.

Not everyone can enter the ninth floor, and I'm not worried about your safety there.

After you obtain the Slayer title, we'll discuss together the matter of you starting the third‑transformation quest.

If you need anything in daily life, you can also come to me.

By the way, this card contains one million gold coins, a grant from the school.

Additionally, you may summon any of the school's Saint-level‑or‑below professionals at any time; this is also a privilege the school grants you. If you need help from a Saint-level professional, you must apply through me, and I'll ask the principal for assistance.

Song Shiyu produced a stack of books and a gold card, and his words left Yu Sen and Wang Jun completely stunned.

Yu Sen's gaze at Lu Zheng was full of envy, while Wang Jun felt excitement and admiration.

No wonder you're my big brother Lu!

Getting a million gold coins right after enrollment and being able to dispatch Saint-level‑or‑below professionals at will—this school is way too obsequious.

Wang Jun even wondered whether his position as Lu Zheng's number‑one lackey was about to be snatched away by Zhennan University.

Lu Zheng himself was also surprised by Zhennan University's boldness; he knew that with his identity, strength, and status, he should receive special treatment, and he thought that the department head personally helping him 'speed‑run the university instance' was already quite good.

He didn't expect the school to provide even greater support!

Song Shiyu also assisted Wang Jun with class assignment, after which Lu Zheng and Wang Jun went their separate ways; Wang Jun needed to go to his class, while Lu Zheng, led by Yu Sen, arrived at an instance entrance.

Lu Zheng chose Zhennan University for two reasons: the Saint-level Abyss Demon Lair instance, and this exclusive summoner instance.

【Arena Instance: Glory of the Summoned Beast】

【Instance Details: 1. The instance consists of ten arenas, with level caps of 30, 60, 100, 150, and 200 respectively—five tiers, two arenas per tier;

2. Arena limits the summoner's level, but not the summoned beast;

3. The arena uses a one‑on‑one format; once a defense begins, the summoned beast cannot be taken out of the instance;

4. Before the monthly refresh, the arena champion's summoned beast receives a large experience reward, and the summoner gets a treasure‑chest reward】

【Instance Requirements: Profession limited to Summoner, only summoned beasts may be sent; Recommended participants: Summoners whose summoned beasts' level or combat power far exceeds the summoner's own level】

【Arena refresh time remaining: 22 days 18 hours 35 minutes】

Such arena instances exist for other professions as well, but compared to them, the Summoner profession has a huge advantage.

For other professions, the defender is the practitioner themselves; once challenged, they must return to the instance within the allotted time to accept, otherwise the defense is considered failed.

Summoners, however, are not limited to a single summoned beast; they can challenge multiple arenas simultaneously, let their beasts idle to guard, and themselves study, grind, or do other tasks without any delay!

After all, in Summoner arena battles, no summoner assistance is allowed; only the summoned beast's own combat power matters.

Yu Sen looked at the instance, then glanced at Lu Zheng and said,

"With the combat power of your Divine pet, even those level‑200 summoners' beasts can't match it. Just wait until the end of the month, and you can sweep the six arenas and claim six treasure chests in one go.

Higher‑tier chests are more likely to drop skill books; on the level‑100 arena you can obtain a skill book."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Then let's come back at the end of the month."

Lu Zheng is still confident in his summoned beast's strength; even without sending a Divine pet, a Celestial pet could still secure a few arena titles.

Of course, he must not become arrogant.

At Zhennan University, there are still a few Summoners who possess Celestial pets.

Previously, in smaller cities the perspective was limited; even in a major city like Fengdu, there wasn't a single Summoner with a Celestial‑grade spirit pet.

Celestial‑grade spirit pets correspond to epic‑level professionals, a rarity indeed.

But at Zhennan University, one of the Ten Top Summer Academies, they can be easily found.

Each cohort has about two or three.

Among enrolled students, resident teaching assistants, and faculty mentors combined, those with Celestial‑grade spirit pets are not few.

Therefore, Lu Zheng feels he should work harder at drawing cards to upgrade even his lowest‑quality spirit pets to Celestial grade.

When the time comes, he'll wave away ten thousand Celestial pets and hundreds of Divine pets; not even a giant dragon or fire‑god projection, let alone a true god's arrival, could withstand him.

The Summoner instance can't be tackled now, so Lu Zheng will first secure a house.

Together with Mu Yunlan and the others, several of them rented houses in the same residential complex; being fellow locals makes mutual care convenient.

In the afternoon, Lu Zheng acted alone.

He entered the Abyss Demon Lair instance to test his skills; bringing others would be a bit of a hindrance.

Now the monsters he can eye‑kill must be at least level‑200, so the experience gained will show some effect; otherwise slaying monsters of the same high tier yields too little experience compared to what's needed for a level up.

Other professionals level up slowly for this very reason.

They cannot, like Lu Zheng, at level‑100 chase and slash 200‑300‑level monsters; they can only kill slightly higher‑level foes, often requiring months or even a year or two to accumulate enough experience for one level.

The Abyss Demon Lair instance has nine floors: the first underground floor caps monsters at first‑transformation complete 30 level; the second at 60; the third at 100; the fourth at 150; the fifth at 200; the sixth at 250; the seventh at 280; the eighth at 300; and the ninth at 400.

But in reality, the entire instance can be divided into two parts.

The first to fifth underground levels form the Demon Lair instance; the sixth to ninth underground levels are the true Abyss instance, linking to the Abyss plane! (End of chapter)
