21: Chapter 21 Fragile Skeleton Soldiers? Then let's use Heartsteel!

The light of the summoning circle gradually dimmed.

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally summoned.

As long as a Magic Pet could be summoned, it was fine.

If the Young Master could even nurture a Slime into that kind of monster, what other Magic Pet couldn't he nurture?

However, when she saw clearly what had crawled out of the circle, her expression froze.

It was a scrawny Skeleton Soldier.

In the eye sockets of its skull, two faint green soul fires flickered, as if they could be extinguished at any moment.

Its grayish-white skeleton was covered in cracks, and its entire body looked tattered and old, as if it had crawled out of some trash heap.

In its hand, it held a rusted blade that looked like a tetanus trap.

It didn't look imposing at all; instead, it looked like it would fall apart at any moment.

[Skeleton Soldier]

[Level: 1]

[Race Rank: Unranked]

[HP: 50 / 50]

[MP: 0]

[Attack: 5]

[Strength: 0.5]

[Constitution: 5]

[Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 0]

[Skills: None]

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.

What the hell is 'Unranked'...

In this world, could there really be a race rank lower than Low Bronze?

And the Skeleton Soldier's HP?

50 points?

When a Slime was first summoned, it had 100 HP!

You only have 50 points, dammit.

Lu Yuan was genuinely losing his cool.

He hadn't expected there to be a Magic Pet even trashier than a Slime.

The key was that he was the one who summoned it.

This was too ridiculous.

Watching Lu Yuan's frustrated expression, Zhou Xiong was a bit puzzled.

"What level of Magic Pet is a Skeleton Soldier? It shouldn't be weaker than a Slime, right?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and sighed.

"It's actually weaker than a Slime…"

The Young Master had expended so many precious treasures, only to summon a Skeleton Soldier.

The status of a Skeleton Soldier in the world of Magic Pets was even more awkward than that of a Slime.

A Slime at least had the overpowered skill 'Self-Regeneration'.

It had tenacious vitality, high plasticity, and a relatively high chance of mutation.

What about a Skeleton Soldier?

Aside from being 'fragile', it had nothing.

Low-level professionals loved farming fragile Skeleton Soldiers.

You had to hit a Slime a few more times.

But when fighting a Skeleton Soldier, it was one hit per kill, zero risk, and you didn't even need to dodge skills.

Simply put: It's a total bust!

Bai Zhi recorded the process of Lu Yuan summoning the Magic Pet and sent the video to City Lord Lu Feng and his wife.

After seeing the Skeleton Soldier Lu Yuan had summoned.

Li Muyao and City Lord Lu Feng were both a bit stunned.

They hadn't actually had very high expectations for the Magic Pet Lu Yuan would summon.

But a Skeleton Soldier… wasn't that a bit too much?

However, neither was disappointed; instead, they exchanged glances, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in their eyes.

They both knew their son could grant Magic Pets special abilities.

"I wonder if this Skeleton Soldier will be as overpowered as the Slime?"

City Lord Lu Feng was filled with anticipation.

In Li Muyao's beautiful eyes, a hint of curiosity also emerged.

"However, the issue of our son only being able to summon low-tier Magic Pets still needs to be resolved."

City Lord Lu Feng nodded.

It's just an otherworldly Magic Pet, right?

If they weren't willing to accept their son's summoning.

Then they would just enter the otherworld, pack them up, and shove them into their son's summoning circle.

Wilderness Villa,

The Little Skeleton tilted its head and looked at Lu Yuan, the ghost fire in its eyes flickering constantly.

It was observing in secret, wanting to see what kind of talent could actually summon a 'Skeleton Soldier'.

Lu Yuan stroked the Little Skeleton's smooth skull, his expression also somewhat complicated.

"I expended so many precious treasures, and this is what I get?"

"Little Skeleton, you really are a bit weak."

"Then I guess I'll just have to give you a cheat code."

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully summoned a second Magic Pet. You may select the first Hextech Rune for the 'Skeleton Soldier'!]

Three gilded cards slowly appeared.

[Gold · Physical to Magic]: Converts all Strength attributes into Spirit attributes.

[Prismatic · Combo Bow]: When you attack, fire an additional bolt. The bolt deals physical damage based on movement distance, can critically strike, and can apply attack effects.

[Gold · Quest: Heartsteel]: When HP exceeds 3000 points, obtain the special equipment 'Heartsteel'.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the three cards.

Strength to Spirit?

Ignore it directly.

The Skeleton Soldier didn't even have an initial skill; what use was Spirit?

[Prismatic · Combo Bow]

Trash, next.

Lu Yuan's gaze landed directly on the third Hextech Rune.

[Quest: Heartsteel!]

This is good stuff.

'Steel' once, and you can stack HP, increase your size, and there's no upper limit.

It is definitely the most fun equipment to play with in Hextech mayhem.

After all, who could resist the sound of 'steel, steel, steel'?

Moreover, this equipment has extremely high compatibility.

Whether it's an assassin, mage, marksman, or tank, anyone can choose 'Heartsteel'.

As long as you can stack the layers high enough, it's incredibly overpowered.

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth slowly curled upward.

Fragile Skeleton Soldier, huh?

Shatters at a touch, huh?

I, Lu Yuan, am determined to nurture the tankiest, highest-HP Skeleton Soldier in the world!

As for the 3000 HP required for the Heartsteel quest, it wasn't even a consideration for Lu Yuan.

This is the confidence of a big spender.

Watching Lu Yuan who was 'stunned' in place.

The honest Paladin uncle walked over and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, shall we continue leveling up?"

Lu Yuan snapped back to reality, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Level up, of course we have to!"

"And we have to level up hard!"

"Paladin uncle, please help me herd some monsters over here."

Zhou Xiong was stunned, then nodded.

"Understood!"

He turned and walked out of the villa.

The Little Skeleton was dumbfounded.

After hearing the four words 'fight monsters to level up', the ghost fire in its eye sockets trembled slightly.

It silently took half a step back, shielding Lu Yuan in front of it.

Lu Yuan: …

I told you to fight monsters, why are you hiding?
