2: Natal Magic Pet Facehugger

The Awakening Ceremony was still ongoing, but the atmosphere on the training ground had become subtle, with everyone's eyes focused on the peculiar beast egg in Lin Feng's arms.

The profession of Summoner is clearly documented in the Federation's "Professional Encyclopedia."

Its star rating is not fixed, but rather determined by the potential of its innate demon pet.

When a Summoner awakens, he randomly receives an innate demon pet egg. The star rating of the hatched demon pet is the Summoner's actual star rating.

The higher the potential of the innate demon pet, the higher the Summoner's growth ceiling.

Powerful Summoners can even cultivate their own exclusive demon pet species with the innate demon pet as the core, forming an army of one!

But at this moment, the beast egg in Lin Feng's arms was emitting a faint one-star aura.

This meant that his Summoner profession had only the lowest one-star potential!

"This..."

Lin Feng lowered his head, staring at the beast egg in his arms, his eyes gradually becoming peculiar.

This beast egg was about the size of a basketball, covered with a layer of dark brown keratinous shell, cold and hard to the touch.

Most striking was its top, where there was a chrysanthemum-like opening, with several slender tentacles tightly held together, faintly revealing a weak life fluctuation.

"A Facehugger egg?"

Lin Feng's pupils slightly contracted, and images from a classic sci-fi movie of his previous life flashed through his mind.

Alien!

The appearance of this beast egg was exactly like the Facehugger egg in the movie!

Lin Feng's heart pounded violently, and an uncontrollable sense of excitement surged within him.

What is an Alien?

That is the most perfect killing creature in the universe!

Terrifying acidic blood, astonishing evolutionary ability, extremely strong environmental adaptability... If his innate demon pet was truly an Alien, then this one-star rating was simply ridiculous!

"Lin Feng, once you're done with your awakening, hurry up and get down, don't waste other Students' time."

Homeroom teacher Li Yan's voice suddenly came, his tone cold, completely different from the enthusiasm he showed towards Chen Yuwei and Su Wanqing earlier.

Whispers also came from the surrounding Students:

"Hahaha, the top Student turned into a good-for-nothing, the disparity is too great!"

"A one-star Summoner is not even as good as a common soldier, right?"

"I heard that Summoners need twice the experience of other professions to level up, they have to share experience with their demon pets, and their summoned creatures are terribly weak..."

Lin Feng ignored these taunts and silently walked off the high platform, holding the beast egg.

He just wanted to find a quiet place to properly study this beast egg now.

"Brother Feng!"

His best friend Wang Yin grabbed him, lowering his voice, "Don't be discouraged, although Summoners are weak in the early stages, they have great potential in the later stages!"

"When we earn money later, we'll buy you a few high-star demon pets, and your strength will naturally increase, won't it?"

Lin Feng nodded casually, but his mind was entirely on the beast egg.

Seeing his absent-mindedness, Wang Yin sighed and patted his shoulder, "It's my turn, I'll go up and awaken first, we'll talk later."

Lin Feng returned to the team and continued to observe the beast egg in his arms.

He could clearly feel the life pulsations coming from within, as if something was being nurtured.

Just then, a gasp of surprise suddenly erupted from the other side of the training ground.

"Holy crap! Eight-star! It's an eight-star profession!"

"My goodness, the second high-star today!"

"Xiong Gang from Class Two has awakened as a [Beast King]!"

The entire training ground instantly boiled over, and even the principal rushed over in a hurry.

Many Students who had already completed their awakening also flocked towards Class Two's direction, wanting to catch a glimpse of the eight-star profession's splendor.

But Lin Feng remained unmoved, his entire attention focused on the beast egg.

With a thought, a translucent attribute panel appeared before his eyes:

"Name: Lin Feng"

"Profession: Summoner"

"Level: 1"

"Strength: 5"

"Agility: 4"

"Constitution: 6"

"Spirit: 12"

"Free Attribute Points: 0"

"Skills: Bloodthirsty Frenzy (LV1): Consumes 1 point of one's own spirit and 1 point of constitution, causing the demon pet to enter a bloodthirsty frenzy state, doubling strength and agility, greatly increasing attack power, and reducing pain sensation."

"Talent: Spirit Beast Space. A basic Summoner talent, allowing one to open up a space in the void to accommodate Spirit Beasts for rest."

"Demon Pet: Facehugger Egg · Unhatched (One-star)"

"It really is an Alien!"

Lin Feng was ecstatic. Although it was only a one-star now, he, who knew the evolutionary potential of Aliens, how could he not know the terrifying nature of this creature!

As long as there are enough parasitic hosts... In his previous life's experience, Aliens only needed to parasitize ordinary humans to gain such powerful strength.

In this world, there are a large number of powerful demon beasts that possess extraordinary powers, elemental powers, and even world-destroying powers.

If these demon beasts were used as parasitic hosts, how terrifying would the Alien's potential be?!

Just as he was immersed in excitement, several figures suddenly blocked his path.

Looking up, it was Xiong Gang, who had just awakened the eight-star [Beast King] profession, and... Su Wanqing.

Xiong Gang was almost two meters tall, with bulging muscles, looking even more formidable after his awakening.

He looked down at Lin Feng with disdain in his eyes.

And Su Wanqing leaned against Xiong Gang, her Enchanting Moon Cloak fluttering without wind, the crimson patterns at the corners of her eyes making her look even more alluring.

She squinted at Lin Feng, her red lips slightly parted:

"Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to only awaken a one-star profession. My investment in you for so long was truly wasted."

Lin Feng frowned, "Investment?"

"Don't play dumb."

Su Wanqing sneered, "From the first year of high school, I deliberately approached you, gave you gifts, wrote love letters, wasn't it because I valued your potential? Who knew you were actually a good-for-nothing."

The surrounding Students were immediately in an uproar upon hearing this.

"Holy crap, is Su Ban Hua that materialistic?"

"I've long heard she's cunning, but I didn't expect her to be so direct..."

"But it's understandable, a one-star Summoner and an eight-star Beast King, even a fool would know who to choose!"

"No choice, this is reality. If it were me, I'd also curry favor with Xiong Gang!"

Xiong Gang proudly put his arm around Su Wanqing's slender waist and mocked, "Kid, I heard you used to be the school heartthrob? Now..."

He deliberately paused, "You're just a trash Summoner. Wanqing is my woman now, stay away from her in the future, understand?"

Su Wanqing also chimed in, "Lin Feng, I came today to tell you that you're not worthy of me. Don't bother me anymore."

Lin Feng looked at the man and woman in front of him and suddenly laughed, "Bother you?"

His gaze turned to Su Wanqing, his tone frighteningly calm, "Those cookies you gave me, I think I gave them all to the stray cats at school, didn't I?"

"And the love letters, I remember I returned them all to you, didn't I? Do you want to show them to your new paramour~"

"You!"

Su Wanqing's face changed, clearly not expecting Lin Feng to respond like this.

Xiong Gang snorted coldly, "Talking tough, are we? At the graduation assessment a month from now, I'll let you know how big the gap is between one-star and eight-star!"

"By then, I'll personally kill your innate demon pet, leaving you to be a good-for-nothing for life, hahaha~!"

After saying that, he walked away with Su Wanqing, leaving behind a crowd of Students watching the spectacle.

Wang Yin rushed back at this moment, angrily saying, "Brother Feng, that woman is too snobbish! And Xiong Gang, he's arrogant just because he awakened an eight-star profession!"

"Don't worry, I awakened a five-star Berserker, I'll help you level up!"

Lin Feng shook his head, his gaze returning to the beast egg in his arms.

The chrysanthemum-shaped opening seemed to wriggle slightly, as if responding to his gaze.

"It's alright."

Lin Feng said softly, a cold sneer forming at the corner of his mouth, "Soon they will know who the real good-for-nothing is."
