Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 10

Ch 10: Awakening Reward

“That’s right! This is my brother! We lived well before awakening, didn’t we? At worst, we’ll just go back to fighting wild dogs for food.”

Xia Mo’s lips curled into a sweet smile. Imitating Chu Qiu, she reached out and touched his head, but her movements were gentler.

Chu Qiu grabbed her hand and said with feigned seriousness, “It’s said that boys touch girls’ heads because they like them, but when girls touch boys’ heads, most of the time it’s like petting a dog.”

As soon as he finished speaking, they both couldn’t help but laugh. Xia Mo glared at Chu Qiu playfully. At that moment, all her worries finally vanished.

“See, Xia Mo is the prettiest when she’s not crying!”

Chu Qiu gently wiped away the faint trace of tears from the corner of her eye with his finger, his eyes full of affection.

“I knew it, brother is always the best!” Xia Mo glanced at the time and hurriedly said goodbye, “Brother, I have class, see you after school.”

Xiao Ya, who was silently watching this scene from the side, couldn’t help but feel a trace of envy and emotion.

She began to wonder, is awakening really that important? In this world, perhaps some things are more precious than the power of awakening.

“Chu Qiu, I know it must be disappointing for you that you didn’t succeed in awakening.”

Looking at the departing figure, Mentor Xiao Ya tried her best to make her words sound light, but the worry was hard to hide.

“Mentor Xiao Ya, I know you’re worried, but don’t worry yet.”

Chu Qiu gently raised his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he decided to be honest, but he had to hold back.

“Although the Awakening Stone shattered, a Contract Space unexpectedly appeared in my Sea of Consciousness.”

Mentor Xiao Ya was stunned when she heard this, her face immediately filled with disbelief.

A summoner’s awakening is achieved through the resonance between the Awakening Stone and their own potential. Once the Awakening Stone shatters, it means the path to awakening is cut off, without exception.

Now, Chu Qiu’s words were like a thunderclap, completely subverting her understanding.

“Contract Space?”

Mentor Xiao Ya repeated these four words to herself, her brows furrowed, lost in deep thought.

She tried to find answers from her knowledge base, but to no avail.

Chu Qiu nodded lightly, and dropped a bombshell: “Yes, and in my Contract Space, a white dog appeared, exuding a faint spiritual light, looking different from the others.”

Life is like playing Fight the Landlord; some people who were enemies just now become partners in the blink of an eye.

Chu Qiu didn’t know whether to thank King Yama, or thank… or thank whom…

After hearing this, Mentor Xiao Ya’s shock was beyond words. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes locked on Chu Qiu, as if to see through him.

Those eyes, usually full of wisdom, were now flashing with unbelievable light, muttering to herself, “How is this possible… you… actually…”

Xiao Ya took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly disturbed mood due to the shock, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Then, she quickly picked up her phone, her fingers trembling slightly due to nervousness, and finally dialed a familiar number.

After hearing Xiao Ya’s description, the voice was silent for a few seconds, then filled with surprise: “This… is indeed a strange situation. I’ve lived for so many years, and I’ve never heard of anything like it.”

After a moment of silence, the voice came again: “Go to the City Lord’s Mansion now. City Lord Fang might be able to give you some advice or answers.”

City Lord Fang Tian Ce, a legendary figure, his name is well-known in Yu City, and even throughout the Dragon Country’s Northern Region.

He is not only a Diamond Summoner, possessing strength that people look up to, but also served at the Fifth Defense Line.

Having experienced countless battles and challenges, he has a unique understanding of the mysteries of summoners and the cruelty of war.

Xiao Ya nodded in agreement. Indeed, in Yu City, a small border town, Fang Tian Ce is undoubtedly the best candidate in terms of knowledge and experience.

“Chu Qiu, let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion. Perhaps the City Lord can solve this mystery and find the summoner path that belongs to you.”

After hanging up the phone, Mentor Xiao Ya’s gaze fell on Chu Qiu again, her voice with a hint of imperceptible tremor.

Chu Qiu pondered for a moment after hearing this. In the end, he nodded and agreed to Mentor Xiao Ya’s suggestion.

Although he knew the truth of all this, he could only choose to remain silent in the face of Mentor Xiao Ya’s expectations.

After all, some secrets, even as the person involved, he cannot easily reveal, not to mention that King Yama is involved behind this, who would believe it?

Under Xiao Ya’s guidance, Chu Qiu passed through the bustling streets and arrived at a secluded courtyard.

The courtyard was surrounded by towering walls, isolating all the noise, leaving only a narrow passage leading to the outside world.

In the center of the courtyard stood a group of young men and women, their faces filled with longing for the future.

Fang Yan and Chen Che were among them. When they saw Chu Qiu’s arrival, a suspicious look appeared on their faces. They were obviously puzzled by Chu Qiu’s situation and occasionally cast probing glances.

“Welcome, young summoners.” A deep voice broke the silence of the courtyard.

A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit appeared on the steps, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, a faint smile hiding a kind of majesty that cannot be underestimated.

“I am Fang Tian Ce, the City Lord of Yu City.” The old man’s voice was low and powerful, “You were brought here because although the Dragon Country seems to be peaceful and prosperous on the surface, there are actually undercurrents surging, with both internal and external troubles.”

His words carried a trace of worry and heaviness, obviously having a clear and deep understanding of the current situation.

“As the human race retreats in the war, some people have betrayed their race, colluding with Exotic Beasts and Alien Races, lurking in every corner of Lan Star, secretly engaging in all kinds of dirty deeds.”

“Among them, the ‘God Generals Society’ is the largest in scale. They act arrogantly, not only sabotaging in secret, but also attempting to achieve their goals by controlling people’s hearts, plunging Lan Star into darkness and chaos.”

“Thirty years ago, the ‘God Generals Society’ even successfully penetrated the high levels of the Dragon Country. Due to a lack of vigilance, a generation of Heaven’s Chosen was almost completely lost, and countless heroic summoners fell under their conspiracies.”

As a personal witness to that dark history, Fang Tian Ce’s voice was filled with indescribable pain when he spoke of this.

“Now, although we have struggled to recover from that disaster, the danger is still lingering, and the situation is even more severe than in the past.”

“The threat of Exotic Beasts and Alien Races is increasing day by day, and the ‘God Generals Society’ has also made a comeback, ready to stir up another b*oody storm.”

“And you, as the new generation of Awakened, bear not only your personal destiny, but also the hope and future of the entire Dragon Country.”

After the voice fell, he beckoned, and the guard carried an ancient wooden box bearing the imprint of time, slowly walked up.

The items in the box were neatly arranged in layers, each revealing an extraordinary aura.

Fang Tian Ce personally introduced the function and importance of these supplies to everyone.

The exquisite clothes were made of celestial silkworm silk, with a soft but tough touch, smooth and elegant lines, every detail revealed ingenuity, and every inch fit the needs of a summoner.

The small vials contained basic potions with different effects and colors: Hemostasis Pills, to stop bleeding and promote muscle regeneration; Soul Recovery Pills, to restore a summoner’s Soul Power; War Beast Powder, to temporarily increase the combat power of a Contracted Beast.
