Chapter 72: Luck Explosion — New Trump Cards: Four Immortal Grades and Two Divine Pets!
For others, killing a hundred thousand demonic beasts was an extremely difficult task to complete.
It required expending vast amounts of time and energy in sustained, persistent combat.
But for Lu Zheng, not only could he use the Demon Banner to directly enslave over a thousand second-tier demonic beasts to slaughter on his behalf,
he could also directly drive over a thousand summoned beasts to kill monsters for him.
Moreover, he could add ten helpers every single day.
With his current Summoning Art level, the Lucky Halo skill buff, and the effect of the 'Ancient Call Lucky Bracelet,' he was now guaranteed that the ten summoned beasts he summoned each day would be of Elite three-star quality or above.
Summoned beasts like these could be cultivated as primary combat beast pets for any summoner within the third tier.
Yet here with him, they were merely bottom-tier cannon fodder running errands.
Many summoned beasts died every day, but the replacements brought in were guaranteed to be of even higher quality!
Overall, the combat power of his summoned beast army grew stronger every day.
Naturally, their killing speed was not slow either.
The rapid turnover of summoned beasts also brought one enormous benefit.
That was, low-level summoned beasts leveled up quickly, so the efficiency of their base attribute point feedback was also high.
Although each individual feedback was small, the high frequency and large numbers added up, giving Lu Zheng a considerable attribute point boost every day.
Other professionals toiled for months or even a year or two, and only after leveling up once could they gain that meager little attribute point increase, whereas he maintained a full base attribute point buff every single day.
Although Lu Zheng was only level 100 now, his base attributes were roughly on par with Taotie, who was currently level 127!
Taotie was a divine pet; every level gained added a massive amount of base attributes, otherwise its strength would not have reached the Holy tier.
That Lu Zheng could match it, or even exceed it, was essentially on the level of a humanoid divine beast.
If one had to name the only area that fell a bit short, it would be that his skills were not systematic — but they were not weak either. After all, he now had so many rare beast pets and had mastered nearly a hundred skills. With so many skills to combine, his combat power was more than sufficient to rival a divine beast!
But Lu Zheng always remembered that he was but a frail summoner — when there was work to be done, he sent the summoned beasts. A summoner personally baring his arms to fight was something reserved only as a last resort.
Otherwise, if he could lie down, he would absolutely never sit up!
Living a second life, he was not here to suffer. He would enjoy himself whenever possible and not let a single minute slip by.
Soon, another ten days passed.
Today was the seventeenth day since arriving at Zhennan University. Over these days, Lu Zheng had been frequently drawing new summoned beasts, but so far, the highest-quality beast pet to appear since coming to Zhennan University had only reached rare-grade three-star.
On the other hand, after being fed massive quantities of Flame Demon Hearts, that Flame Demon's quality had successfully risen all the way from rare three-star to rare five-star, now just a step away from advancing to Immortal grade.
Lu Zheng was confident that before the arena battles began, he could raise this Flame Demon — now already at level 123 — to one-star Immortal grade! However, compared to this, Lu Zheng was still more concerned about the quality issue of his drawn summoned beasts.
Although not a single summoned beast above Immortal grade had appeared in over a million draws during this half-month-plus, Lu Zheng had a premonition that the next draw — the next draw would surely produce a higher-quality spirit pet.
And today, after the Lucky Halo buff was applied, Lu Zheng felt in his bones that the time had come! The payout would happen today.
Ten-draw! Hundred-draw! Ten-thousand-draw!
A hundred-thousand-draw! Lu Zheng relentlessly refreshed his hundred summoning slots, and when he refreshed to the final hundred of the hundred-thousandth draw, a series of pleasant notifications nearly made him jump off the ground in elation.

Lu Zheng had already lost the ability to think; he was completely overwhelmed by joy.
The most thrilling time before had been drawing three Immortal-grade spirit pets in a single batch, but this time there were a full four Immortal-grade spirit pets, and even more unbelievably, there were actually two divine pets! Drawing two divine pets in one batch — these were powerful beings capable of growing to the demigod tier.
To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it was equivalent to drawing two Xuanyuan Wuji in a single breath! Four Immortal grades, two divine pets.
Could it be that I drew this prize with my lifespan?! Lu Zheng quickly glanced at his own HP—fully 6,760,000 points, comparable to a level 200 boss-quality BOSS—and felt reassured at once.
He hurriedly examined his newly acquired skills; after all, he had directly obtained four immortal-grade skills and two Divine Skills. Though he had already mastered dozens of skills, those of immortal grade and above were still not many, and all were well worth studying in depth!
The four immortal-grade skills were clearly extraordinary at a glance, and from their names alone one could roughly understand them. Only the passive skill "Nine-Headed Immortality" that Xiangliu had given him left Lu Zheng—who had just a single head—somewhat baffled.
Nine-Headed Immortality, but I only have one head?!
