Lin Ze spoke with such righteous indignation, as if he and these classmates were truly his brothers, brothers, and close friends.
Now Zhan Kong was speechless. He had dealt with Lin Ze quite a few times, and Lin Ze had helped him deal with demons several times, so he knew very well that Lin Ze was definitely not reluctant to part with these classmates.
He couldn't possibly let Lin Ze in; if he did, the training would be pointless. Lin Ze's bird was far stronger than Bai Yang's ghost wolf beast. Even setting aside the training's effectiveness, in a real fight, Bai Yang's ghost wolf beast would definitely not survive!
Instead, Zhan Kong walked directly into the group, put his arm around Lin Ze's shoulder, and led him to a secluded corner.
"Lin Ze, are you trying to sabotage me?" Zhan Kong said fiercely to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze said with a wronged expression, "Boss Zhan Kong, you know me well. I've never been the type to sabotage others."
"I only have one thing to say: you cannot participate in this training with them. If you do, then this year's training will be completely pointless!"
"That's something for you to consider, old man. I can't just watch my classmates risk their lives to fight demons, can I?" Lin Ze said to Zhan Kong with a 'wronged' expression.
Zhan Kong was speechless for a moment, and could only say, "You kid, name your terms, how can you not go?"
"You have to understand, they are all my brothers, my dearest friends and family..."
Speak like a human being!
"You need to pay more... no, you need to give me something in return!"
"Give me benefits? You have the nerve to ask me for benefits?" Zhan Kong shuddered coldly.
You come here for a wilderness training assessment, and I don't even let you take the assessment to get a result, yet you still have the nerve to ask me for benefits.
What about the face?
If there weren't so many people around, Zhan Kong might have kicked Lin Ze a few times right there!
Lin Ze quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "Boss Zhan Kong, you're just kidding. How could I possibly ask you for any benefits!"
Lin Ze wasn't stupid. If he asked Zhan Kong for benefits at this time, it would be merciful of Zhan Kong not to skin him alive!
"Boss Zhan Kong, I don't have any other requests. How about this, you find me a place to cultivate here. I'm only at the second level of the initial stage of the Summoning system, and I'm not far from the third level. I should take advantage of this time to break through. Maybe I'll reach the third level of the initial stage here!" Lin Ze said hurriedly.
Zhan Kong glanced at Lin Ze, thought for a moment, and decisively agreed to Lin Ze's request: "No problem, in that case, you can cultivate here."
After Luo Bai agreed, Zhan Kong led him away, saying, "Well, Luo Bai isn't at the same level as you guys, so his training program is different from yours. You guys just need to obediently form a team and complete your training. Luo Bai is going to do his own specialized training."
"what……"
"A tonic, Boss Zhan Kong!"
"Without Luo Bai, how can we fight the demons!"
"Without Luo Bai, there would be no Luo Bai. We can complete our training even without him!"
"That's right, that's right..."
There were naturally many different opinions among the group regarding Luo Bai's inability to train with them.
"This is not fair! Luo Bai is one of us, why should he be subject to such restrictions?" Xu Zhaoting frowned, he couldn't understand why Zhan Kong would impose such restrictions.
Is it simply because Luo Bai is a summoning mage with strength far exceeding their level?
Although Xu Zhaoting had never personally witnessed the power of a servant-level demon, he could tell from the surrounding military mages and hunters that their strength was far superior to that of the students. The fact that none of them showed any disrespect towards the demon indicated that its terrifying nature was far greater than they had imagined.
It wasn't that Xu Zhaoting was pessimistic, but rather that he felt their success rate and safety would be greatly improved if Luo Bai were present.
Zhan Kong sneered, "Boy, don't forget, this is my territory, and my rules are the rules! And fairness? This world is inherently unfair; the strong have fairness, the weak don't!"
"Of course, you can also choose to train alone with Luo Bai. However, the final level of danger will be much higher than if you were to act as a group. Given your strength, it wouldn't be unreasonable for your lives to be in danger!"
Suddenly, all was silent!
"If no one has any objections, then get ready and let's set off." Zhan Kong waved his hand, signaling everyone to hurry up and leave.
After the students in Tianlan Magic High School uniforms left, Zhan Kong led Luo Bai to a secluded spot: "Tell me, what's wrong with you? You're only in your second year of high school, and you're already preparing to break through to the third level of the initial stage?"
Lin Ze nodded: "Yes, summoning is more difficult to cultivate. If it were another type, I guess I could have reached the intermediate level by now."
Zhan Kong nodded, agreeing with Lin Ze's assessment. With a decent summoned beast, a summoner mage's earning power is almost unmatched, second only to healing and necromancer mages.
Therefore, Zhan Kong felt it was perfectly normal for Lin Ze to have cultivated to this level within two years. However, if it were another magic system, he probably wouldn't have this earning power.
"How about this, there's a cultivation room at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn. It's quiet and secluded enough. You can go there and cultivate." After thinking for a moment, Zhan Kong took out a Stardust Magic Tool: "This is a Stardust Magic Tool I used when I was young. It's a high-grade, Spirit-level item. Take it and use it."
"Thank you, Boss Zhan Kong!" Lin Ze didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted Zhan Kong's Stardust Magic Tool.
Lin Ze went there to cultivate, and with the help of this Stardust Magic Tool, he successfully broke through to the third level of the initial stage. Moreover, it didn't take much time, only a little over five days.
After exiting the pass, Lin Ze discovered that Zhan Kong was actually waiting outside!
"Kid, you've broken through, haven't you?" Zhan Kong walked up and put his arm around Lin Ze's shoulder.
Lin Ze tried to move Zhan Kong's hand away without showing any emotion, but found he couldn't. He said helplessly, "Boss Zhan Kong, what are you trying to do?"
Zhan Kong said with a grin, "I've provided you with a training place, given you the highest score in the combat assessment, and even lent you a spirit-level stardust magic tool. You little brat, you have to do me something for me, right?"
Lin Ze was quite helpless, but given the convenience that Zhan Kong had provided him, as well as the Stardust Magic Tool, Lin Ze knew that he had to do something.
"Aside from getting me into the military to work for you and having me sell my body, if there's anything you need from me, just ask, and I'll absolutely not refuse!" Lin Zeyi said righteously.
