One Golden Trait Per Level And You Still Call Me a Weak Summoner? Chapter 3 : Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Adding a Trait, Kung Fu Panda!

【Taiji Grandmaster: Taiji mastery brought to its absolute peak, excelling at overcoming force with softness, with both offense and defense in perfect balance.】

Taiji! Grandmaster!

In this world, because Class Users existed, traditional martial arts had never truly flourished.

But with the knowledge from his previous life, Ye Ze naturally understood just how formidable true Taiji could be.

And this was the grandmaster realm at that, the very pinnacle!

Ye Ze looked at the trait fra, then at the Iron-Eater Beast lying in his summoned beast space.

“A panda doing Taiji?”

Interesting.

He directly bestowed the trait upon the little Iron-Eater Beast.

A flash of light swept past, and two delightful notifications popped up before Ye Ze.

【“Taiji Grandmaster” trait successfully bestowed!】

【Summoned Beast: Iron-Eater Beast (Blue Rare) Evolution → Kung Fu Panda (Orange Epic☆)】

It could actually make a summoned beast evolve!

A single trait had directly allowed a Blue Rare summoned beast to skip past Purple Exceptional and evolve into Orange Epic!

And it was even Epic One-Star!

Ye Ze’s expression filled with shock. What kind of heaven-defying talent was this?

And this was only on a Rare-grade summon. If, in the future, he bestowed a new Legendary trait upon a Legendary-grade summoned beast, what would it evolve into?

And if Legendary traits could be fused together, what kind of monstrous effect would that produce?!

Ye Ze’s heart pounded with excitent as he looked into his summoned beast space once more.

The panda had changed into a loose Taiji martial robe, and an invisible aura as gentle as a spring breeze now emanated from it.

Unfortunately, its face still looked just as adorably foolish as before.

Sure enough, even after becoming a Taiji grandmaster, it was still a panda...

The summoned beast panel popped up again.

【Kung Fu Panda】

Quality: Epic☆

Level: 1

Attributes: Strength 28, Constitution 25, Agility 28, Spirit 23

Talents: Iron-Eater Beast Bloodline (Rare), Taiji Inner Force (Legendary)

Skills: Twenty-Four Forms of Taiji lv.10 (Legendary), Deflect a Thousand Pounds with Four Ounces lv.10 (Legendary)

————

He had thought evolving into an Epic One-Star summon was already terrifying enough.

He had not expected the skills and talent... to all be Legendary! All max level!

Then again, it made sense.

After all, this was a Taiji grandmaster. How could it possibly not have mastered Taiji techniques?

And its attributes had more than doubled compared to before. That was the power of an Epic-quality summoned beast.

【Ding! Your contracted summoned beast has received a massive enhancent and will feed back part of its attributes to you!】

【Your attributes have increased: Strength 10, Constitution 10, Agility 10, Spirit 10!】

When a contracted summoned beast increased in quality, it would feed part of its power back to the Summoner.

But in truth, opportunities to improve the quality of a summoned beast were extrely rare.

And rather than painstakingly raising a summon’s quality, it was usually simpler just to replace it with a higher-quality summon.

So situations where a summoned beast fed power back to its Summoner were things most people only read about in textbooks.

But this ti...

it had directly given Ye Ze, a Summoner, physical strength and toughness greater than even a Warrior’s!

He would not need to fight personally, of course, but becoming stronger still felt excellent.

At this mont, Ye Ze felt much more confident about heading into the novice dungeon!

The novice dungeon was an ‘artificial dungeon’ that existed in major high schools and academies all across the country.

Only those below level 9 could enter.

Its original purpose had been to give newly class-changed students, whose combat power was still weak, a place to level up. Even if they died inside the dungeon, they would only lose part of their experience.

However, the novice dungeon was not inexhaustible. It was more like a machine, and each activation required energy!

At least fifty crystal stones were needed, and higher difficulties required even more.

Crystal stones were obtained by killing fiends, and the market price was ten thousand per stone!

If one had high-tier Class Users in the family, that amount of crystal stones was nothing.

But for soone like Ye Ze, an orphan with neither money nor influence, there was only one chance:

This was the one free dungeon entry reimbursed by the Chinese military for every newcor, with no restriction on difficulty!

For most ordinary students, this was especially crucial.

It could even determine whether, ten days later, they entered university through the college entrance exam, or went straight into factory work...

At this mont, the South Campus, where the dungeon entrance was located, was packed.

Countless students were gathered there, either forming teams or looking for soone strong to carry them. The place was full of noise and excitent.

“Need four newcors with free entries! We’ll each open the dungeon once, so we can run it five tis today!”

“Need two people with remaining entries for a Hard run! Equipnt and skills preferred, regular division even better!”

“Any big shot opening a dungeon? I’m a level 2 Archer, and I promise I’ll listen once we’re inside!”

“Holy crap! A Summoner boss! Wait... why is he wearing the uniform of the regular division?”

Under normal circumstances, Summoner was mostly a class for wealthy spenders.

As Ye Ze walked over, he imdiately attracted countless stares.

But very quickly, everyone rembered.

“Isn’t that Ye Ze, the guy who gave up eight million just to choose Summoner?”

“He really dares co challenge a dungeon? With that sli of his?”

This ti, no one dared approach him to form a team. Instead, they all moved farther away.

Teaming up with a poor Summoner was not that basically courting death?

Ye Ze, on the other hand, was delighted.

There had been too many people crowding around the dungeon entrance earlier. Soone like him, arriving late, would not even have been able to squeeze through.

Now everyone had moved aside, clearing a path right in front of him.

“Thanks~”

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Ze calmly walked straight to the dungeon entrance.

“He really is a strange one...”

“Who is he planning to team up with? He can’t be thinking of opening a dungeon solo, can he?”

The others only whispered quietly, but one voice rang out far more arrogantly than the rest.

“Stop disgracing the Summoner class. This isn’t a ga soone like you can afford to play!”

A young man decked out in luxurious equipnt stood there, with the female secretary from the Zhao Guild at his side, the sa one Ye Ze had seen earlier.

The crowd’s eyes lit up imdiately.

“Zhao Xuan from the regular division!”

“Now that is a real Summoner! Boss, please carry ...”

Ye Ze turned back and instantly understood.

Zhao Xuan, the son of the Zhao Guild’s guild master.

The Zhao Guild had sent soone to buy Class Cards today precisely so that he could change into a rare class.

Although Ye Ze had not sold his Class Card to him, soone else had.

And so Zhao Xuan had still managed to change into the ‘exclusive’ class of wealthy second-generation heirs: Summoner!

“Awooo—”

With a howl, Zhao Xuan summoned a giant wolf glowing with purple light!

“Damn! An Exceptional summoned beast, the Windchaser Wolf!”

“The Zhao Guild really is rich. They actually bought an Exceptional summon worth four or five million right at the start!”

Listening to the shocked cries around him, Zhao Xuan’s lips curled upward.

“Co on, Ye Ze, summon your sli and let everyone have a look!”

For Zhao Xuan, suppressing Ye Ze at last was sothing he had wanted for a long ti.

As one of the regular division’s favored sons of heaven, he had still always been overshadowed by Ye Ze’s academic performance before changing classes.

He had remained the grade’s eternal second place.

Despite being in the regular division, he had always been forced beneath soone from the regular division. It had left him unable to hold his head high.

But now, after changing classes...

his wealth could finally show its worth!

At long last, it was his ti to turn things around!

A vicious smile appeared on Zhao Xuan’s face, and Ye Ze smiled as well.

“What a fat sheep.”

“If I don’t fleece him properly, I’d be letting myself down.”

That was what Ye Ze was thinking.

With everyone watching, he kept both hands in his pockets, showed not the slightest sign of backing down, and calmly shot back:

“You seem pretty confident.”

“How about we make a bet?”
