The Summoner of the End

"Brother Lin, don't mind them," Sun Xu said, walking over to Lin Yuan's side.

"Ignoring a Golden Thigh like Brother Lin and instead fawning over Xu Jie, they're all short-sighted fools."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

Sun Xu replied with a serious expression,

"Brother Lin, you first awakened a trash talent, then chose a Trash-tier profession, and were subsequently mocked by everyone. This is clearly the protagonist's template!"

"The subsequent plot is that you'll take on the sole hidden profession, summon a Divine Beast Cub, beat up the villains, build a harem, sweep everything aside, and reach the pinnacle of life."

"If they don't cling to your thigh now, they'll probably regret it bitterly later."

"Where did you read such a trashy, melodramatic novel? It's too far-fetched."

Lin Yuan was speechless, "Beating up villains, building a harem... do you think I'm some Urban Dragon King?"

"Should I also give you a crooked smile?"

With that, Lin Yuan's lips curled into a wicked, charming smile.

At this moment, the Dragon King descended.

"Brother Lin, you should smile like this," Sun Xu said, shaking his shoulders and letting out a 'Jie jie jie jie' laugh.

"Get lost! What kind of B-grade noise is that? It sounds like a villain."

The two walked back to their classroom, chatting and laughing.

On the way, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to check his newly acquired God-tier Talent.

Summoner of the Apocalypse (Divine Grade)

Talent Effect 1: Consuming evolution points allows Summoned Beasts to break through Bloodline Shackles, achieving 100% perfect evolution.

Talent Effect 2: Your Summoned Beasts are guaranteed to awaken SSS-Rank Talent.

Talent Effect 3: The Summoner gains the Summoned Beast's talents and skills... Strong, too strong.

Lin Yuan was overjoyed.

Summoners gain an additional Summoning Slot every 10 levels, meaning Lin Yuan will gain an extra SSS-Rank Talent every 10 levels.

He didn't know how far the Summoned Beasts could evolve, but Lin Yuan was invincible anyway.

Is this going to make him tear gods apart with his bare hands?

Summoner of the Apocalypse, quite interesting.

Back in the classroom, not long after, Chen Hongwei Chen Hongwei rushed back.

"Just now, the Principal held a meeting to discuss class assignments. Students who awakened and became Professionals will be assigned to one class."

"As for those who failed to awaken, they will go to work in factories."

This is the gap between ordinary people and Professionals,

Like an unbridgeable chasm.

Many students secretly breathed a sigh of relief because they had awakened F-rank talents; although the talent was as good as none, at least they could become Professionals.

"Tomorrow, the school will open the Novice Dungeon for half a month. During this half-month, you must seize the time to raise your levels."

To motivate the students, Chen Hongwei told them about the rewards mentioned by the Principal at the meeting.

"The first place to break through Level 10 will be rewarded with a B-rank Skill Book and 500,000 cash."

"The second place to break through Level 10 will be rewarded with a C-rank Skill Book and 300,000 cash."

"The third place to break through Level 10 will be rewarded with a C-rank Skill Book and 100,000 cash."

"Fourth to tenth place will be rewarded with a D-rank Skill Book and 50,000 cash."

Chen Hongtao's words were like a giant rock thrown into a lake, causing a huge ripple in the classroom.

"Holy cow, the school really went all out this time. I remember last year's highest reward was only a C-rank skill and 200,000 cash, right?"

"You said that was last year. Last year, only one student awakened an A-rank Talent, but this year there are three S-Rank Talents."

"Sigh, there's no hope for the top three, but there's still hope for the top ten."

The students discussed animatedly.

In their hearts, first place would definitely go to Luo Qingqing. With triple skill damage, clearing Dungeons would certainly be much faster than other teams.

Speed means efficiency.

While others might clear 3 times, Luo Qingqing might have already cleared 5 times. How could you compare to that?

Second and third place were uncertain; Sun Xu and Xu Jie both had a chance, depending on whose team composition was better.

Or perhaps the two would simply form a team, which might allow them to catch up to Luo Qingqing.

Among the three S-Rank Talent Professionals, only Lin Yuan was left out.

There was no other way; after all, Lin Yuan had chosen a universally recognized Trash-tier profession.

Magic Professions inherently have low damage in the early stages, and Summoners are even worse, lacking even active damage skills.

Although Summoned Beasts are not afraid of death, if they die, it takes half an hour before they can be resummoned.

Without a Summoned Beast, a Summoner is even worse than a wild monster.

While other students were chatting enthusiastically, Lin Yuan was very quiet.

He was thinking about where to get Summoner skill books.

Summoner is a very rare profession, and skill books are relatively cheaper, but even the lowest F-rank Skill Book, Summon Slime, costs 5,000 yuan.

Lin Yuan had only saved 6,000 yuan through years of frugality.

As he was thinking, he was suddenly called outside by the Chen Hongwei.

"Lin Yuan, come out with me for a moment."

In the hallway, Chen Hongwei pulled out two skill books.

"According to school regulations, students who awaken S-Rank Talent will be rewarded with a B-rank Skill Book."

"However, the school does not have B-rank Skill Books for Summoners. Currently, there are only these two skill books."

"The Principal decided to give both of these skill books to you."

The skill rewarded to Luo Qingqing by the school was B-rank Chain Slash, and the one rewarded to Sun Xu was B-rank Joint Healing.

When it came to Lin Yuan, Principal Chen Qingshan was in a difficult situation; there were no B-rank Summoner skills in the inventory.

After searching throughout the school, they only found two Summoner skills.

Principal Chen Qingshan simply handed both skill books directly to Lin Yuan.

The two skill books in Chen Hongwei's hand were one D-rank and one C-rank.

Summon Shield Guard (D-rank)

Learning Requirement: Level 0

Skill Description: Summon 1 Shield Guard of the same level as yourself to assist in combat. The Shield Guard's bloodline rank starts at Tier 1 and can be raised to Tier 3 at most.

Summon Skeleton Warrior (C-rank)

Learning Requirement: Level 10

Skill Description: Summon 1 Skeleton Warrior of the same level as yourself to assist in combat. The Skeleton Warrior's initial bloodline is Tier 2 and can be raised to Tier 4 at most.

Taking the skill books, Lin Yuan waved at Chen Hongwei, "Thanks, Old Chen."

It was truly like a pillow arriving when one was sleepy. Lin Yuan was just worrying about where to get skill books, and unexpectedly, two appeared.

Saved money.

"Oh, and one more thing."

Chen Hongwei seemed to find it difficult to speak.

"Originally, since you became a Professional and awakened an S-Rank Talent, you should move into the Villa Area in the city."

"But..."

"As you know, your S-Rank Talent has no combat bonuses, and you also chose Summoner. Many teachers opposed your moving into the Villa Area."

"Ultimately, the Principal came up with a compromise: as long as you can clear the Normal difficulty Golden Tooth Ruins, you can move into the Villa Area."

"The Principal has done his best; I hope you don't have any other thoughts."

"Old Chen, we've known each other for so many years, do I look like that kind of person?"

Having grown up on welfare, Lin Yuan had long seen through the cold realities of human nature.

Honestly, for someone with no familial ties, the Principal had already done his utmost. Even if he gave your rightful B-rank Skill book to someone else and casually threw you a D-rank Summon Shield Guard, you'd have to accept it.
