7: The second summoned beast! Go find the city lord?

"[Eat What You Eat—Consumed 'Lightning Impact', gained: Agility +3, Thunder Element Control +6%!]"

"Indeed! The higher the quality of the consumed item, the more attributes are added!"

At this rate, the Panda's attributes will be far ahead!

The attributes of an epic-level Summoned Beast might even be higher than those of a legendary quality!

However, Ye Ze was destined not to find a comparison.

Because for decades, no Summoner has ever possessed a legendary quality Summoned Beast below level 10!

Even epic-level ones were few and far between.

This is because contracting Summoned Beasts of these two qualities is too demanding for a Summoner.

It also requires a top-tier financial or power background.

Unless it's like Ye Ze, who advances the Summoned Beast, but cultivating Summoned Beasts, as mentioned before, is even more difficult!

Ye Ze opened and checked the Panda's attributes:

"[Kung Fu Panda]"

"[Quality: Epic☆☆]"

"[Level: 2]"

"[Attributes: Strength 41, Constitution 35, Agility 41, Spirit 34!]"

"[Talent Skills...]"

When a Summoner levels up, their Summoned Beast also levels up.

An epic-level Summoned Beast gains 10 points in all four core attributes per level!

The rest are bonuses obtained through 'Eat What You Eat'.

Now, it's already equivalent to three times the attributes of a Warrior of the same level!

Terrifying!

"The higher the quality of the Summoned Beast, the more significant its leap in strength!"

"No wonder so many consortium guilds spare no expense to get high-quality Summoned Beasts for their descendants."

Ye Ze couldn't help but imagine:

"If I can summon one or two legendary Summoned Beasts during the college entrance exam..."

The college entrance exam is 10 days after the job transfer, and most candidates are still below level 10, with only a few geniuses reaching level 10 and their first transfer at most.

"Then the expressions of the other candidates should be quite spectacular!"

The professional college entrance examination.

It determines whether one can enter a higher education institution in the future and whether one can enjoy national subsidies.

If one can rank among the top 50 in the country, even prestigious universities would be willing to cover most of your professional expenses!

As for ranking even higher, that's a confidential benefit.

This is why Ye Ze attaches great importance to the college entrance examination... it saves money!

Of course, the premise is still to level up quickly.

10 days, neither too much nor too little.

Currently, leveling from level 2 to level 3 requires 300 experience, and with the Hell difficulty experience bonus, it's probably not far off!

Ye Ze regained his composure, ready to continue forward.

However, before he could take a few steps, six or seven dark figures were already glaring at him.

High-level demonic beasts are different from low-level ones; their territorial awareness and combat desire are extremely strong!

They do not allow any creature to set foot in their territory.

Of course, perhaps the Panda hasn't beaten them into submission yet.

"[Youbei Wolf (lv.5)]"

Type: Elite-level Demonic Beast

Skills: Bloodthirsty Bite, Wolf Howl, Tough Fur.

----

Wolf pack.

Six or seven massive black wolves, with green eyes, stared intently at the Panda and Ye Ze.

Each one was comparable to a level 5 Warrior.

What's more dangerous is that wolves are good at attacking in groups!

"Howl—"

The wolf's howl echoed through the valley walls.

If there were other Youbei Wolves on the mountainside, they would soon come to besiege them!

"Resolve them quickly! Don't wait for other wolf packs to gather!"

Ye Ze only had one Summoned Beast after all.

If the number of wolves was too large and the impact too swift, he himself could easily be threatened.

The Panda received the order and decisively took the initiative!

"Tai Chi - Cloud Hands."

With a charge, the Qi energy of Cloud Hands enveloped all the wolves, greatly reducing their speed.

Immediately after, the only area-of-effect skill of Tai Chi Fist!

"[Tai Chi Fist Twenty-Four Forms—Double Peaks Piercing Ears]"

"[Both hands simultaneously use Tai Chi Internal Strength to cause damage over a large area in front and briefly stun.]"

Tai Chi is an extremely comprehensive martial art.

It integrates offense and defense, combines internal and external cultivation, and even has area-of-effect skills.

Of course, this is a max-level legendary quality skill, so it's not surprising to have such an effect!

High-quality skills, like high-quality Summoned Beasts, are rare and powerful.

It is said that the City Lord of Lin Yuan City, where Ye Ze resides, was originally a Hunter class with weaker combat capabilities.

But fortunately, he obtained a legendary quality skill in the 'Abyss'.

Later, he became one of the ten strongest Sixth-Tier professionals in N/A.

Known as the 'Hunter King'.

This shows that a Panda with a full set of legendary skills definitely has more than epic-level combat power!

Only a strong whoosh of wind was heard.

"Double Peaks Piercing Ears" unleashed two Tai Chi Internal Strength blasts, hitting all the wolves in front.

Half of them, being at the center of the skill, were instantly killed.

The other half were also hit by the stun effect.

Immediately after, the Panda quickly advanced, with its high attack power, one palm per wolf!

"[Killed Youbei Wolf, Experience *15]"

"[... ]"

A wave of wolves caused the experience bar to surge by one-third!

"At this rate, I can reach level 3 directly before entering the boss area!"

Ye Ze silently calculated, then looked at the wolf pack's spoils.

The harvest was quite good: five crystals, two pieces of equipment, and a skill book!

One piece, the "Youbei Wolf Leather Boots" which added 3 points of Agility, Ye Ze decisively put on.

The other, an excellent-grade archer weapon...

He fed it to the Panda.

"[Eat What You Eat—Consumed 'Wolf Tendon Bow', gained: Agility +1, Strength +1, Critical Hit Rate +3%!]"

Panda: ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

And that skill book immediately brought Ye Ze a pleasant surprise.

An excellent-grade Summoner skill!

Skill book drops are completely random, and getting the third skill book that he could use was quite lucky!

"[Youwei Squirrel Summon (Excellent): Agile contracted beast, usable by Summoner class.]"

"Agile type, Squirrel."

As for quality, Ye Ze didn't need to worry.

Even low-quality Summoned Beasts can become stronger after adding entries, and can even provide a good amount of attributes in return.

The key point is its agile type, which can serve as an assassin in the future.

Complementing the Panda's Warrior type, it can make Ye Ze's Summoned Beast team more comprehensive.

"You're the one!"

Ye Ze now had 30 Spirit attributes, enough to contract a second Summoned Beast.

"[Ding! You have learned the skill: Youwei Squirrel Summon!]"

"[You have obtained a new Summoned Beast: Youwei Squirrel (Excellent)!]"

A new figure appeared in the Summoned Beast space.

A small, nimble little Squirrel, with sharp, flexible claws and a distinctive dark black tail held upright behind it.

"Come out."

A ray of light shone, and the Squirrel appeared on Ye Ze's shoulder.

Staring at each other.

"[Youwei Squirrel]"

Quality: Green Excellent

Level: 2

Attributes: Strength 9, Constitution 8, Agility 11, Spirit 7

Talents: Energy Reserve (Excellent), Keen Perception (Excellent)

Skill: Camouflage Lv.1 (Excellent)

----

Ye Ze originally had no expectations for excellent-grade skills.

Unexpectedly, he found a very practical one:

"[Keen Perception: Able to detect distant and hidden enemies, traps, improving detection ability.]"

Now, the speed of finding monsters has increased significantly.

And no longer afraid of being ambushed!

Ye Ze, satisfied, set off with the Panda and Squirrel:

"Continue grinding monsters, strive to level up within 1 hour!"

...

Meanwhile, outside the dungeon entrance.

The surrounding academy students were already somewhat terrified!

"It's been an hour, why hasn't Ye Ze come out yet!"

"Can a Hell-level dungeon hide for so long?"

"Impossible, monsters in Hell-level dungeons actively seek out professionals, Zhao Xuan is an example..."

The speaker gradually lowered his voice, glancing at Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan's face was gloomy, yet also somewhat puzzled:

Because he had experience.

Even if you hide, you'll be actively sought out by the demonic beasts; it's simply impossible to survive this long!

He even had an excellent-grade Summoned Beast as cover, but what did Ye Ze have?

At this moment, someone boldly speculated:

"You guys, do you think the dungeon might be malfunctioning? The person inside can't get out?"

"How is that possible! The dungeon was jointly built by the City Lord and other top professionals, how could it malfunction?"

"Hell difficulty hasn't been challenged for a long time, so a malfunction isn't out of the question!"

"Since it's man-made, there's a possibility of malfunction, right..."

Upon hearing this, a light immediately shone in Zhao Xuan's eyes!

"That's right! The dungeon must be malfunctioning!"

"Otherwise, with Ye Ze's strength, how could he survive so long in Hell difficulty without dying?"

"I haven't lost yet!"

The Ms. Secretary beside him, seeing Zhao Xuan's face finally brighten, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly echoed his words.

The onlookers found it difficult to ascertain the situation, with some believing that Ye Ze was truly still persevering...

Until another hour passed.

Ye Ze still hadn't come out!

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the problem was a bit tricky.

"It's definitely a dungeon malfunction!"

"So what should we do now?"

"Try to call the City Lord or the Dean..."
