Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 42 Summoning the Chief, The Whereabouts of the Second Summoned Beast
"senior."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and replied politely.

"The rising star of Pearl Academy, he has already reached the advanced level at such a young age. He is very talented and also has extraordinary luck. He is truly remarkable!"

Pang Lai spoke slowly.

"I suppose you already know my purpose."

Faced with such a genius, he didn't intend to keep him in suspense; sometimes speaking frankly might yield unexpected results.

"I was reluctant to take on another disciple, but seeing your talent, I couldn't bear it. I'm willing to break this tradition for you. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Chen Yuan wasn't too surprised to hear this.

Chief Pang Lai's experience in summoning can indeed benefit him for life. If he were to become his disciple, he would become the strongest summoner in the country, and even rank among the top ten in the world.

Of course, other people's paths may be better, but Chen Yuan has now found his own way.

"I'm sorry, senior, I don't have that idea." Chen Yuan hesitated for only a moment before giving his reply.

"??"

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, seemingly wondering if he had misheard, and never suspecting that Chen Yuan had rejected his request to become his disciple. After all, such a tremendous opportunity...
If it were anyone else, they would have already knelt down with joy and called him "teacher."

"Chen Yuan, don't try to be a hero now! If you become my disciple, your future as a summoner will be limitless. You will inherit my mantle..."
Even those who aspire to become supreme forbidden spellcasters in the future may still have a chance!

Jiang Yu spoke up.

"If all else fails, we'll both take a loss, and you can become my senior brother, and we'll switch roles."

Jiang Yu didn't seem to care much about this.

After all, his current cultivation level is only at the middle level, while Chen Yuan's cultivation level is already at the high level. Whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide.

Imagine having a mid-level mage as your senior brother; I doubt anyone would feel good about that.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan simply shook his head slightly.

His strength is already set: three high-level elements plus three divine gifts, and he also has to protect the summoned beasts of the Ghost Clan. Even emperors cannot harm him.

Dean Xiao has already taken care of the resources that Chen Yuan lacked.

A monthly Three-Step Tower run is enough to eliminate his need for resources, not to mention breaking through bottlenecks.

Once one's cultivation reaches a certain bottleneck, then breaking through it will naturally be without any obstacles. If it were when he had just awakened magic, he might have considered it.

But now he's in this position, he has both strength and resources.

Why bother becoming someone else's disciple? Why unnecessarily put yourself in shackles? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"Alright, since Chen Yuan has no intention of becoming an apprentice, we can't force him. Everyone has their own unique path in magic." Pang Lai was quite open-minded about it.

He had anticipated this outcome long ago.

Ultimately, we were destined to meet but not to be together.

“In that case, let’s talk about something else. Dean Xiao said that your summoning talent is quite special, allowing you to contract a second summoned creature.”

Pang Lai spoke slowly.

"Hmm." Chen Yuan nodded. The divine gift granted him a second summoning portal, which allowed him to contract a second summoned creature.

“What you have awakened now is light, summoning, and,” Chen Yuan added.

“Space, huh?” Pang Lai said thoughtfully, then asked, “So what type of creature do you plan to contract with for your second summoned creature?”

"If possible, I would like to contract a light-attribute creature," Chen Yuan said.

He now possesses an ancient sword demon dating back ten thousand years, an evolving phoenix, and a scapegoat capable of disrupting cause and effect. As for the second summoned creature...

He didn't expect to be stronger than the ancient sword demon, but he should at least be a promising talent, right?

Otherwise, later on, when Chen Yuan's cultivation reaches the forbidden spell level, everyone will be at least at the emperor level, while the summoned beast he just contracted is only a monarch.
That little guy would be so embarrassed he'd die on the spot, wouldn't he?

"Light attribute, huh?"

Pang Lai nodded, having some ideas in mind. Although they weren't destined to be master and disciple, he didn't hide anything and still planned to think of a way to help Chen Yuan.

"As for light-attribute creatures, to find one that suits you, I'll have to consult ancient texts." Pang Lai pondered for a moment before replying, "By the time I find it..."
I'll call you over again.

"Thank you very much, senior." Chen Yuan bowed to Pang Lai, expressing his gratitude.

After their chat, Chen Yuan led Ding Yumin away from the Forbidden City. The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the ancient palace walls, and their shadows stretched long on the bluestone slabs.

"We can't rush things regarding the second summoned beast." Chen Yuan gazed at the setting sun on the horizon, his tone calm. "The opportunity hasn't arrived yet; forcing it will only make things worse."

Ding Yumin nodded, her hair gently ruffled by the evening breeze. She turned her head and asked, "So, where do we go now?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and pulled out a gold-embossed invitation from his pocket: "The capital is going to hold a food festival soon, and I heard it will gather famous chefs from all over the country." He waved the invitation, "A friend of mine gave me this."

"So you had this planned all along?" Ding Yumin's eyes lit up with a smile.

“Life is short, so we should always know how to enjoy it while we can,” Chen Yuan blinked. “Besides,” he lowered his voice, “it’s said that a rare ingredient called ‘ambergris’ will be featured at this food festival.”

Ding Yumin immediately understood, and the two smiled at each other as their figures gradually blended into the bustling streets and alleys of the capital.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past month, Chen Yuan has been taking Ding Yumin out for meals and drinks, and in his spare time he has also given Mu Ningxue some guidance.

Holding the Star River Vein in her hands, Mu Ningxue has been cultivating diligently for the past month, striving to reach the advanced stage as soon as possible and catch up with Chen Yuan's pace.

The next day.

The training teams from Mingzhu and the capital returned with a full harvest, and the progress was very smooth. There were no casualties, after all, there was no madman like Lu Nian causing trouble.

After the training was over, Chen Yuan did not linger, but led the students of Mingzhu Academy away from the capital.

Return to Pearl Academy.

director's office.

"You did a great job this time. Sending you to the capital was definitely a wise choice." Dean Xiao couldn't stop smiling.

“It’s all what should be done.”

"Well, you and Yu Mian entered the main campus at the beginning of this semester. Do you plan to continue to enter the Summoning Academy as a member of the Summoning Department, or...?" Dean Xiao asked.

“Naturally, it’s the summoning system, which will also be perfect for next month’s challenge week,” Chen Yuan said.

Since I have nothing else to do today, I might as well take the top spot in the Summoning category.
