Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 46

Ch 46: Heading to Kan City

During their playful banter, Chu Qiu suddenly remembered that in the past, the National Exam only had national and city rankings. Now, there was suddenly a Domain ranking, which made him suspicious.

Seeing this, Fang Yan explained, “An orphan has a long story. The emergence of this Domain ranking is essentially due to the imbalance of power among the eight cities of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun, and their affiliated satellite cities. In order to compete for resources and status, this division was created.”

As soon as Chu Qiu heard this, he was very interested. From another perspective, isn’t this just the ancient “fiefdom”?

He continued to ask, “How is it specifically divided?”

Fang Yan knew a lot and answered immediately: “It’s very simple. According to the location of the cities, they are divided into four Domains: East, South, West, and North. The Qian and Kan cities and their affiliated satellite cities are the Northern Region, the Gen and Zhen cities and their affiliations are the Eastern Region, the Li and Xun cities and their affiliations are the Southern Region, and the Kun and Dui cities and their affiliations are the Western Region.”

“Beautiful! Wipe your nose before pulling up your pants, and embark on the road to society. Four streets in the southeast, northwest, ask around to see who’s the boss! Haha, the rules of this Domain ranking are quite interesting.” After hearing this, Chu Qiu couldn’t help but praise, “What about Ding City? Which Domain does it belong to?”

“The Central Domain, occupying eighty cities with its own strength.”

Fang Yan’s tone was full of matter-of-factness. As the connection to the national center, this confidence and self-assurance were indeed justified.

“Awesome, is the military involved?”

Chu Qiu continued to ask, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

In any world, the power of the military can often determine everything. After all, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and this saying is never out of date in any era.

“The military is under the unified jurisdiction and dispatch of the state, but the interests involved are complex. It can only be said that there is no direct participation of the military on the surface.”

Hearing Chu Qiu ask this, Fang Yan shook her head gently, her tone full of helplessness.

“What are your plans?”

Changing the subject, Fang Yan shifted her attention from the national-level game back to the present.

Chu Qiu smiled slightly, his tone a bit unruly: “If someone slaps you, you have to return two punches; if someone scolds you, you have to retort. Living is not easy in the first place, blame others if you can, don’t blame yourself. In short, just do it!”

“Awesome! If we have the chance to meet in the National Exam, please protect me!”

Fang Yan’s beautiful eyes blinked, full of anticipation.

Although she is also a Heaven’s Chosen figure, she couldn’t help but want to latch onto someone like Chu Qiu, who doesn’t play by the rules.

“Don’t you have your own? I don’t have any…”

Chu Qiu’s eyes seemed to sweep over a certain part of Fang Yan’s body, not very conspicuous, but with its own unique charm.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yan’s face instantly turned red, and she scolded coquettishly, “Get lost! A dog’s mouth can’t produce ivory.”

Then she turned around and went to find her respected old father, leaving Chu Qiu alone, thinking about the information he had just learned.

Chu Qiu took a deep breath, feeling the tense atmosphere permeating the air before the exam.

It’s easy to be born, easy to live, but life is not easy. He needs to prove his worth through this test.

The National Exam, officially called the “Summoner National Ability Assessment,” is the most grand annual event in the summoner world.

It aims to select the most promising summoners and Contracted Beasts from young students and cultivate future guardians.

The content covers many aspects of the summoner, such as soul power, skill application, tactical strategy, and the combat power and Innate Skills of the Contracted Beast. It is a comprehensive assessment of the overall quality of the summoner and Contracted Beast.

This year’s National Exam has undergone unprecedented changes in both the exam location and content due to the addition of the Domain ranking.

The exam locations are set in 9 main cities, which means that students from 72 satellite cities will face off in a fierce battle.

In order to ensure they could participate in the exam smoothly, remote cities had to set off in advance to avoid missing the trip due to the long journey.

The National Exam consists of three parts: theoretical knowledge assessment, Practical Skills Assessment, and strategic decision-making assessment.

Unlike previous years, it is said that the strategic decision-making assessment will change the exam method this year, but how it will change remains to be officially announced.

What remains unchanged is that each round is full of unknown dangers, and each link is crucial. Only truly powerful summoners and Contracted Beasts can stand out in this test.

Yu City and Kan City are three hundred kilometers apart, but fortunately, the transportation is convenient, and it can be reached in half a day.

As the leading unit for this exam, the Yuying Division is responsible for arranging the itinerary and all related matters, which saves the candidates a lot of trouble.

Waving goodbye to Fang Tian Ce and Principal Fan, Chu Qiu boarded the special train to Kan City.

Sister Xiao Ya, as the mentor leading the team from Bridge Two Middle School this time, is responsible for various daily life matters such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation for the school’s candidates, and travels with them.

Chen Che disappeared from this world inexplicably, without even causing a ripple.

Apart from him, only 30-odd students from Bridge Two Middle School successfully transitioned into summoners.

From the moment of successful transition, an invisible class barrier was quietly formed.

Just as everyone boarded the train, without needing to say a word, they tacitly chose the seats that best suited their strength.

As the only SS-level Heaven’s Chosen, Fang Yan naturally chose the first row of seats and sat with the gentle Xiao Ya.

“Squeeze in?”

The train was designed with three seats in a row, which was quite spacious and comfortable. Seeing Chu Qiu get on the train, Fang Yan patted the empty seat next to her.

“There will always be squeezing.”

Today, Fang Yan was wearing a tight black leather jacket, which perfectly outlined her figure, full of streamline.

Chu Qiu’s eyes inadvertently swept across her neck, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded in agreement.

However, he did not choose to sit next to Fang Yan, but went around the two and sat in the second row.

After hearing Chu Qiu’s words, Fang Yan didn’t react for a moment and asked suspiciously, “What?”

Chu Qiu gave her a gentlemanly smile: “Time is like water in a sponge, there will always be squeezing, I want to study, and always strive for first place!”

“Tch… who cares about you, don’t sit if you don’t want to.”

Fang Yan rolled her eyes at him, turned her head and continued chatting with Xiao Ya.

Until the train slowly started and made a long whistle, the two seats next to Chu Qiu were still empty, as if a quiet space was specially reserved for him.

The students cast their curious or wary eyes on him from time to time, discussing among themselves.

If you say Chu Qiu failed to awaken, his past combat records are clearly visible, and every shot is jaw-dropping. His strength is so strong that it can be called furiously.

But if you say he succeeded in awakening, he has never revealed any rank, making people both in awe and afraid to approach him easily.

Several youthful girls hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to come to Chu Qiu, shyly requesting a group photo and autograph.

Chu Qiu smiled and fulfilled their little wishes without any airs.

His gentleness and kindness made the idol halo in these girls’ hearts even more dazzling.

After returning to their seats, several people gathered together, lowered their voices, and whispered, their excitement beyond words.

All of this, for Chu Qiu, was like whispering in his ear, clearly audible, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Do you like him?”

A plump girl with a sweet smile gently poked the coquettish girl next to her, her eyes flashing with gossip.

“So thick and big… oh no, so powerful, it makes me like him even more!”

The coquettish girl looked at Chu Qiu’s firm arms in the photo in her hand, a trace of infatuation flashed in her eyes, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed out of the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

“Hehe, two mouths across, which one are you talking about?”

The plump girl playfully reached down and grabbed it, causing the surrounding girls to burst into laughter.
