Chapter 64: Storm Bear
Chapter 64: Storm Bear
Lu Wu's plan to bring Dudu along on his trip to Fu Cheng didn't work out, but he didn't end up going alone either.
Li Kai was also particularly interested in this matter and had decided to join Lu Wu from the start. So, while Dudu couldn't make it, Lu Wu's party only changed from three to two, or rather, two humans and two beasts.
Lu Wu's small skeleton had to come along on his trip, as his current strength was still weak, and the skeleton couldn't be too far from him or stored away.
Besides the skeleton, Li Kai also brought his summon beast on this trip.
Well, to be honest, Li Kai hadn't initially revealed his summon beast. It wasn't until they reached the high-speed train station's security checkpoint that the instruments detected Li Kai carrying a summon beast, prompting him to summon it from within his body.
A nearly five-meter-tall giant bear emerged from Li Kai's forehead, standing at one meter and seventy centimeters. The scene was truly awe-inspiring.
Not just Lu Wu, but everyone at the station was left dumbfounded.
After all, it's rare to encounter summoners of such caliber in everyday life!
Of course, while they were stunned, Lu Wu didn't forget to reach out and touch the bear that had just passed security.

Name: Storm Bear
Strength: ???
Quality: Silver (Upgraded)
Attributes: Wind, Thunder
Status: Agitated (A fight? Is that why you brought me out?)
Skills: ???, ???
Weakness: ???
Description: Surprised, huh? Didn't expect your little brother to be such a big shot?
---
Indeed, the bear's agitated status clearly indicated its eagerness to find a fight.
Lu Wu's expression was truly complex.
How to put it? Li Kai was a man full of surprises.
When Lu Wu thought he was a big shot, he immediately acted like a little brother in front of Lu Wu.
And when Lu Wu accepted him as a little brother, he instantly transformed into a big shot again.
A silver-quality summon beast with all these question marks—what kind of strength did this guy possess? Lu Wu couldn't help but ask directly.
"Uncle Li, what's the strength of your summon beast?"
"Leader Rank 3!"
Lu Wu asked straightforwardly, and Li Kai responded with remarkable honesty.
His honest answer left Lu Wu gasping in surprise.
As an aspiring breeder, Lu Wu was well aware of what a Leader Rank 3 summon beast implied; it was already at the standard of a professional summoner.
This guy was an absolute big shot!
Even graduates from Summoner University couldn't guarantee becoming professional summoners.
Moreover, professional summoners were usually either competing or cultivating their summon beasts in secret realms, leading a busy life. Lu Wu had never encountered a living professional summoner before, which made him especially excited.
"Uncle Li, why didn't you mention that you're a professional summoner?"
"That was in the past. I've switched careers and am now an aspiring professional breeder!"
"Why the career change? Isn't being a professional summoner great?"
"Also, Uncle Li, do you only have this one summon beast? I heard professional summoners usually have at least three. Where are your other two?"
"How did you cultivate this summon beast? By the way, since you're already a professional summoner, why is your summon beast cultivation so mediocre?"
---
Lu Wu's barrage of questions left Li Kai's head spinning.
It was evident that Li Kai was somewhat evasive about the topic of professional summoners and didn't seem eager to delve deeper.
Moreover, this kid was even poking fun at him.
If someone else had asked these questions, he might have ignored them if he was in a good mood, or given them a good slap if he wasn't.
(End of Chapter 64)
What's this about the Summoned Beast breeding skills not being up to par? That's like saying everyone should be a master of all trades! But the one asking is Lu Wu, his own student, and he can't really avoid answering.
Not wanting to respond, he still has to pick and choose which questions to address.
Fortunately, Lu Wu is also a bit excited to see a live Professional Summoner for the first time, and he quickly gets his emotions under control while also noticing Li Kai's unusual behavior.
Realizing that Li Kai doesn't want to delve deeper into this topic, he doesn't press further, and Li Kai finally breathes a sigh of relief.
Initially, Li Kai hadn't planned to bring his Summoned Beast with him.
It would be too much trouble.
In every sense of the word.
In a 16-19-year-old's mind, there's no room for error when it comes to the latest version of a book!
But after some thought, he eventually decides to bring his Summoned Beast along.
This is because, upon further reflection, he feels that there might be something fishy about this bounty at the Fu Cheng Professional Center.
The Fu Cheng Professional Center is the leading institution for Summoned Beast breeders in Jiangnan Province, representing the highest level of expertise in the region.
If they can't handle a situation, there's no reason to place hope in a group of beginners who aren't even Professional Breeders yet.
He suspects that there might be some foul play involved.
Upon realizing this, Li Kai immediately thinks of dissuading Lu Wu from going, to save him from a potentially fruitless trip and possible danger.
But after a moment's thought, even if there is foul play, it doesn't really concern them.
He's a retired Professional Summoner, and Lu Wu is his student; they're both law-abiding citizens, and any foul play won't affect them.
Moreover, the location is Fu Cheng, at the Professional Center, a gathering place for the big shots.
You could say it's the safest place in Jiangnan Province. Even if there is foul play, these bystanders won't be in any danger.
Since there's no danger and there might even be benefits, there's no harm in them going. Perhaps Lu Wu can even become a Professional Breeder sooner, and he'll receive better education as a result.
Of course, to ensure Lu Wu's safety, Li Kai still brings out his own Summoned Beast.
In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, he can protect Lu Wu without issue.
Naturally, Lu Wu is unaware of all these behind-the-scenes details.
He doesn't know that this bounty has so many secrets.
At this moment, Lu Wu, who has just managed to divert his attention from the fact that Li Kai is a big shot, is now curiously observing the high-speed train in this world.
The high-speed train in this world is similar to Lu Wu's previous life, except that the carriages are slightly larger and have dedicated seats for smaller Summoned Beasts.
Of course, this is limited to smaller ones, as larger and special Summoned Beasts need to be stored in specialized compartments.
Li Kai's Storm Bear, despite being over five meters tall and weighing several tons, can be stored in his body due to his Professional Summoner ability to create a dedicated Summoned Beast space within himself.
Lu Wu's Mini Skeleton doesn't need a seat either.
Its size is comparable to a human's, and it can stand in the designated Summoned Beast seat in the carriage.
At this moment, the Mini Skeleton is just like its owner, curiously observing its surroundings.
The difference is that while Lu Wu is interested in the train, the scenery outside, and the Summoned Beasts in the carriage, the Mini Skeleton is more focused on the humans inside the carriage, especially when it spots a couple. Its eyes, glowing with the Eye Flame ability, fixate on them, observing intently.
It has watched television and knows that humans in such relationships tend to embrace and bite each other.
Although it doesn't fully understand, it's particularly curious to see if humans outside of television also embrace and bite each other.
