73: Sixteenth entry: Extreme summoning!
"What? A freshman!"
Inside the Monitoring Department, after seeing Ye Ze's high school records, everyone who came to demand an explanation gasped in unison.
"Is this high school student really that instructor?"
"He only just changed professions five days ago..."
"This instructor isn't a Third Order, he's not even a Second Order, he's a damn First Order!"
"He alone crushed dozens of geniuses of the same rank in the Special Training Camp..."
"In the future, our Huaxia will surely gain another 'King-level' Sixth Order powerhouse!"
Upon learning this information, everyone was now convinced.
How could they still demand an explanation?
He fought multiple opponents of the same rank, one against five, one against ten, one against thirty-five!
What problem could it be if they couldn't beat him?
Their own problem, of course! What could they do?
The elders of the students whose equipment was taken were even more speechless now... Among freshmen, if their skills were inferior, how could they have the face to speak up now?
But Wei Zheng smiled and said, "If any of you are short on equipment, the headquarters can compensate you at the original price."
These words already showed great respect to everyone.
At the same time, it elevated Ye Ze's status a few notches... Even the headquarters was willing to speak up for Ye Ze, its intention was self-evident.
But Wu Ming knew that Wei Zheng, that old fox, wouldn't actually pay up.
Because these people who had their equipment taken had already suffered a crushing defeat, no one would have the face to ask for compensation.
Moreover, among these people, there were no factions truly lacking money.
As expected, the Fifth Order old martial artist leading them, Zhu Xiao's father, sighed and said,
"Forget it."
"Consider it a goal for my son to chase on his martial path!"
Wan Feipeng smiled and patted the other's shoulder, saying, "That's right! If you're weak, then just..."
"Ah no, you should continue to work hard! Hahahahaha!"
Afterward, the rest of the crowd also sighed silently, decisively giving up on demanding compensation, and all fell silent.
Wei Zheng promptly had everyone sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Everything about the Special Training Camp was not meant for public disclosure, and now there was Ye Ze as well.
He made everyone sign to their heart's content... At the same time, Wei Zheng looked at the beaming Wan Feipeng and scrutinized him, saying,
"You can really hide things!"
Wu Ming also stepped forward and teased, "Indeed, what good fortune has his Lin Yuan City come across this year?"
"A Ye Ze, and a Space Warlock Liu Anran, both in Lin Yuan City!"
"Hahahahaha!" Wan Feipeng laughed exaggeratedly.
"It proves that I, this City Lord, am awesome!"
After all the parents who came had signed the non-disclosure agreements.
The students were then called in to sign.
When Cold Maple came in, his entire state was almost dazed.
Even now, he hadn't recovered from the news that Ye Ze was a freshman.
The despair brought by the gap between peers was even greater... "How am I supposed to surpass him now?"
Because Cold Maple had always regarded Ye Ze as Liu Anran's 'ex-boyfriend', and if he couldn't even surpass an ex-boyfriend, how could he pursue her!
Many others were equally shocked.
For example, Fu Wanjun, who had always regarded Ye Ze as a high-ranking officer of the Scout Camp... In contrast, Liu Anran and Bai Wei were much calmer than others; besides Liu Anran, the latter had already seen Ye Ze in the team dungeon, and now was only shocked by his strength.
The only somewhat special one was Chu River... After learning that Ye Ze was his peer, he suddenly had some peculiar thoughts... Inside the Ancient Battlefield, the instance dungeon still seemed to be open.
Ye Ze leaned against a broken wall and calculated his military merits... "Killing one student is 400, East China and Central China students add 300."
From the kill records, he had killed a total of 63, with 20 from Central China and East China.
Calculating it... "That's 31,200 military merits!"
The best Fourth Floor Treasure Vault of the Demon Suppression Army allows one to choose a treasure for 16,000 military merits.
Adding Ye Ze's own military merit balance: 2150.
He could pick two now!
The Fourth Floor Treasure Vault of the Demon Suppression Army contained only Epic Six-Star and above treasures.
That was the richest treasure vault in all of Huaxia, with extremely rare items, materials, and so on... Ye Ze thought happily.
At the same time, he didn't forget his Level 16 trait.
"Military merits are tallied, let's draw the trait too."
A golden sea of traits appeared, tens of thousands of trait frames swirling like streams of light.
The sixteenth trait... [You have drawn a Golden Legendary Trait: Limit Summon!]
[Limit Summon: Only effective for Summoners. The next time you summon, you will summon the strongest of that race at the same level!]
(Expires after one use, effect refreshes after synthesis)
('Strongest' refers to the strongest overall in current combat power and potential.)
The strongest at the same level?
"Whoa, this is interesting!"
Within each race, it's certain that individuals vary in strength, and the stronger ones are harder to summon.
Using this, not only does it guarantee summoning the strongest.
It even allows a low-quality summoning skill book to summon a high-quality powerhouse!
Ye Ze looked at the Three-Tailed Fox lying at his feet... This meant that if he used Limit Summon before summoning the Three-Tailed Fox.
Then, if there were Six-Tailed or even Nine-Tailed Foxes of the Three-Tailed Fox race at the same level, he could summon the latter two!
At this moment, as if sensing Ye Ze's gaze.
The little fox jumped onto Ye Ze's lap, whimpering affectionately and rubbing against Ye Ze's right hand.
Ye Ze held the fox, stroking it while thinking about his empty summon beast slots.
If he used the trait, the next summon could be the strongest of a certain race below Level 16.
Or, he could wait until he was a higher level to use it, for greater benefit.
Ye Ze pondered the pros and cons of both... Ultimately deciding: no need to wait.
After all, traits can be synthesized!
By the time he reached a higher level, he might even be able to synthesize this into a trait with an even better effect!
Given this, the quality of the next summoning skill book also didn't need to be considered; he would summon the strongest regardless.
The only thing to consider was the race!
It would be best to choose a rare, powerful race with high potential, so as not to waste the effect of this trait.
Ye Ze quickly reviewed the race illustrations in his textbooks in his mind... "Which race would be better to choose?"
