Chapter 10
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Li Xingze didn't seem to be pretending, Zhan Kong could only speak up, "I have a Stardust Magic Device here, but it has been used."
Li Xingze's steps remained steady, without a hint of hesitation.
"It's Spirit Grade!"
Spirit Grade!!
Li Xingze turned around at lightning speed, without any hesitation.
In just one second, Zhan Kong realized that Li Xingze had already returned to his side.
What the hell, is this guy really a summoner? This speed is even faster than a wind mage, isn't it?
How did he do that?
"I suddenly feel that if I don't participate in the training, there will be a little regret in my life," Li Xingze said seriously.
Seeing this, Zhan Kong's mouth twitched. He thought he was shameless enough, but compared to this guy, he was still lacking!
You're taking both food and goods; you kept your face and didn't let go of the Stardust Magic Device!
"As long as you join the military, don't say Spirit Grade Stardust Magic Device, even if it's Soul Grade Stardust Magic Device, I can find a way to get it for you," Zhan Kong said, not giving up.
Hearing about the tempting Soul Grade Stardust Magic Device, Li Xingze still shook his head, "Everything has a price marked in the dark; I don't want to owe anyone a favor for no reason."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Kong's eyes suddenly brightened. This kid is quite clear-headed, not simple at all!
But he's a bit too lacking in human sentiment; after all, he is the leader of the military in Bo City. Even after trying to invite a beginner mage, he still wouldn't agree.
Forget it, let's see if his strength can match this pride.
"Back to the point, your training task is very simple."
"Hehe~~" Li Xingze rolled his eyes, do you think I would believe that?
Zhan Kong completely ignored his expression and continued, "As long as you deal with a Bone Spike Howler."
Bone Spike Howler??
Bone Spike Howler!!
Li Xingze looked at Zhan Kong as if he were an idiot. No wonder it's you, Zhan Kong!
You really know how to play; asking a beginner mage to deal with a general-level monster, have you lost your mind?
Although he had a magic scroll capable of dealing with emperors in his hand, Zhan Kong was unaware!
Zhan Kong at most knew about the existence of the Golden Flame Lion, but even if the Golden Flame Lion had a high bloodline, it would still be difficult to fight against the general-level Bone Spike Howler!
Zhan Kong noticed Li Xingze's idiotic expression and immediately cleared his throat to maintain authority, "Ahem, I'm not asking you to kill the Bone Spike Howler; as long as you can inflict a certain amount of damage on it, that counts as you completing the training task."
"A certain amount of damage," Li Xingze pondered. It was still worth taking a risk for the Spirit Grade Stardust Magic Device.
However, he still needed to clarify this boundary first to avoid this guy being unreasonable.
"Let's be clear, what kind of damage counts as completing the training?" Li Xingze asked.
Zhan Kong snorted lightly. This guy is really hard to fool, so he could only say, "As long as you cripple one of its legs."
"Zhan Kong, are you joking? Crippling one leg is no different from killing it!" Li Xingze looked at Zhan Kong with great exasperation.
Zhan Kong awkwardly twitched his face; he was worried that if this kid really accomplished it.
Then he would have lost a Stardust Magic Device for nothing, and it was Spirit Grade!
"One leg it is," Li Xingze thought for a moment and agreed.
"But," Li Xingze changed his tone, "Zhan Kong, you should accompany me, right?"
"Of course, I won't let you lose your life for nothing," Zhan Kong nodded.
"Then shouldn't I have a share of the Bone Spike Howler's corpse?"
Li Xingze said very seriously; the Bone Spike Howler is a general-level monster, and both its fur and claws are very valuable.
Zhan Kong thought to himself, this kid is even eyeing the loot, does he think he has it in the bag?
With that thought, Zhan Kong couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. He wouldn't be setting himself up, would he?
But since he had already said it, Zhan Kong naturally wouldn't go back on his word, "As long as you can do it, whatever the Bone Spike Howler is worth, I will give you the cash equivalent."
A Spirit Grade Stardust Magic Device could be worth tens of millions, even though it was one he had used before.
Having already put in this much, Zhan Kong wouldn't be stingy with these monster materials.
"Then Zhan Kong, when do we set off?"
Li Xingze was full of confidence; if it were just the Golden Flame Lion, he might not be able to complete this training task.
But he had more than just one attacking method with his summoned beast.
Looking at the eager Li Xingze, Zhan Kong felt increasingly uneasy. This kid wouldn't be hiding some other tricks, would he?
But he is just a civilian, without magical tools or magical artifacts, how could he possibly deal with a battle general level Bone Spike Howling Wolf relying only on a mid-level summoned beast?
Thinking this way, Zhankong became even more curious about what methods Li Xingze would have.
Suddenly, a pair of Wind Wings appeared behind Zhankong, which is a high-level wind magic—Wind Wings!!
Zhankong thought that this move would earn him a look of admiration from Li Xingze, but this guy didn't react at all!
This is unreasonable!
This is high-level magic! How could it not impress a beginner mage?
What's high-level magic? I've even used forbidden magic, Li Xingze secretly scoffed.
Although it wasn't cast by him, it was at least summoned by him!
"Things are getting more and more incomprehensible with this kid!"
Zhankong shook his head, directly grabbing Li Xingze's arm with one hand, and then flew straight into the sky, heading outside the city!
The commotion caused by the two leaving the city drew a lot of attention.
"Is that Li Xingze? Why is Instructor Zhankong taking him out of the city?" Xue Musheng looked up at the sky in confusion.
Even if they didn't let Li Xingze participate in the group training, it shouldn't come to letting him go out of the city alone, right?
Wouldn't that be too dangerous?
With Instructor Zhankong around, it should be fine, right?
"This guy actually lets others dictate his actions. Could it be that Zhan kong promised him some benefits?"
Tang Yue speculated secretly. Given Li Xingze's summoning specialty, he didn't even need the results from this training.
Since he chose to go out of the city with Zhan kong, it indicated that Zhan kong had offered him something enticing.
Although other classmates had already set off, compared to Zhan kong's Wind Wings, they were as slow as snails.
In less than half an hour, the two had already arrived at a wasteland.
"Luck is really on our side, we found a Bone Spike Howling Wolf so quickly."
Flying at an altitude of about forty to fifty meters, Zhan kong pointed at a giant magical wolf with three eyes below.
This was Li Xingze's first encounter with a battle general level demon; even in the summoning realm, battle general level demons are rare. He had been there five or six times and had never encountered one above battle general level.
The Bone Spike Howling Wolf has countless sharp bone spikes growing on its back, like iron nails, ready to pierce through the body of its enemies at any moment.
The Bone Spike Howling Wolf is also known as the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, with the third eye located on its forehead, flickering with a blood-red light, eerie and full of malevolence.
