The physical test, according to Ye Huan's understanding, was undoubtedly just a measure of height, blood pressure, and the like, similar to the health check-ups in the Twenty-First Century. He never imagined that when an old man wielding a Crystal Longsword approached him, he would press the sword's tip against his throat!
Feeling the icy coldness of the Crystal Longsword, Ye Huan was terrified that the old man might just plunge it into his throat without hesitation. He didn’t dare to move an inch.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
After about ten seconds had passed without any change from the Crystal Longsword, the old man finally moved it aside and looked at Ye Tian, uttering words that left Ye Tian utterly disheartened: “I’m sorry, Head of the Ye Family, but I fear your eldest son does not possess the constitution to become a warrior.”
Before Ye Tian could speak, Ye Huan interjected, “Hey, wait a minute! Are you sure you’re not mistaken? My father is clearly a Ninth-Level Expert; how could I possibly lack the constitution to become a warrior?”
As the son of a Ninth-Level Warrior, not having the constitution to become a warrior seemed like an absurd joke.
He had to admit that even though Ye Huan had just arrived in this world and wasn’t very familiar with everything here, he still wanted to become a Professional. After all, no one would want to be knocked out by a few street Ruffians after having a Ninth-Level Expert as a father.
“Ye Huan, do not be rude. Since you do not have the constitution to become a warrior, let’s test for other professions!” With a fierce glare at Ye Huan, Ye Tian felt somewhat chaotic inside. The possibility of the son of a Ninth-Level Warrior lacking warrior constitution yet possessing that of a mage or summoner was almost negligible.
“Since the Head of the Ye Family has spoken, let me give it a try!” As Ye Tian spoke, another elder among the strong stepped forward and unceremoniously pressed a large crystal ball from his magic staff against Ye Huan's throat.
Just like before, after several seconds passed, there was still no reaction from the crystal ball.
At this point, Ye Huan was on the verge of losing it. Back in the Twenty-First Century, he had read many novels about transmigration; however, none of those protagonists lacked extraordinary talent attributes. Why did it seem impossible for him here?
“Sigh.” With a heavy sigh, Ye Tian stood beside him with a face full of melancholy. As he had suspected earlier, it seemed very difficult for the son of a Ninth-Level Warrior to possess any other profession's constitution without having warrior constitution.
“Why don’t I give it a try too?”
Just as both Ye Tian and Ye Huan were feeling somewhat frustrated, an aged voice suddenly echoed beside them. Following the source of the voice, they saw a bright flat crystal reflecting dazzling light…
Summoners were indeed a very special profession. Unlike warriors and mages, their numbers were extremely rare and they possessed no real strength themselves; they relied solely on their Summoner.
A first-level summoner would almost always summon stray animals—99% of the time—lacking any offensive power and even struggling for self-defense. Yet despite this fact, no one in the entire Nine Provinces Continent would dare underestimate summoners.
It is said that the Tenth Level Summoner can summon the Holy Dragon!
‘If my son could become a summoner, that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?’
As Ye Tian gazed at the Crystal Book reflecting dazzling light, this thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
At the same time, Ye Huan nodded solemnly. As a warrior and a mage, he was destined to have no connection with those paths. If he could become a summoner, at least there would still be a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Ye Huan nod, the old man holding the Crystal Book smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and slowly pressed the Crystal Book against Ye Huan's throat.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
After three seconds, the Crystal Book suddenly burst forth with brilliant colored light!
Note that it was colored light!
Across the entire Nine Provinces Continent, crystals can conduct physical tests on ordinary people based on their professions.
If a certain color lights up on the crystal, it indicates that the tested individual is highly suited for that profession.
If two colors illuminate, it signifies that the tested person is an exceptional talent among many.
If three colors appear, congratulations! This person is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses! This was evident from the wide-open mouths of all the powerful figures present.
“A genius! You are a genius! No, you are my disciple!” The old man conducting Ye Huan's physical test stared at the Crystal Book in shock and unceremoniously claimed Ye Huan as his disciple.
Meanwhile, the other powerful figures from the capital looked on with envy. Once their strength increased, finding a good successor was not an easy task, especially one capable of making the crystal emit such colorful light!
“A genius? Am I really a genius?” Ye Huan stared at the old man in front of him in disbelief; he did not see himself as a genius at all.
Back in the Twenty-First Century, he had studied for over sixteen hours every day for an entire year leading up to his college entrance examination just to get into Tsinghua University. Hard work seemed to be his only claim to success.
"That's right, my son, you are a genius. From now on, the glory of the Ye Family will depend on you!" Ye Tian finally regained his composure and walked up to Ye Huan, giving his shoulder a hearty pat, a look of pride on his face.
Then, Ye Tian turned his gaze to the elderly man standing before Ye Huan and solemnly introduced him: "This is Court Chief Summoner Mr. Durei IV. Since he has decided to take you as his apprentice, you should learn well from him!"
Durei? After hearing his father's introduction, Ye Huan carefully observed the old man in front of him. To be honest, just looking at him, the old man's protruding belly seemed to carry a small head on top; he really did resemble the appearance of a condom…
"Enough with the nonsense, Ye Tian. We've known each other for many years. Now that your son is my apprentice, I’m taking him to the palace!" Ignoring Ye Huan's struggle to suppress a laugh, Durei IV rudely greeted Ye Tian and grabbed Ye Huan's arm, clearly intending to take him away.
The palace?
Shaking his ears in disbelief, Ye Huan truly wondered if there was something wrong with them. Not only had he inexplicably become the apprentice of 'Durei,' but now he was supposed to transition from the Ye Family to the palace after just half a day in this new world?
Thanks to the influence of twenty-first-century television dramas and movies, Ye Huan subconsciously believed that palaces were filled with intrigue and deception; it would be better to stay in the Ye Family.
The more he thought about it, the worse it felt. Ye Huan couldn't help but struggle and shout, "No! I won't go to the palace! I want to stay in the Ye Family!"
Releasing his grip on Ye Huan's arm, Durei IV's nose twisted in anger upon hearing Ye Huan's words.
For many years, aside from a few Ninth-Level Experts who were on equal footing with him, very few dared to defy a Court Chief Summoner in Huaxia Nation—even the most mischievous little princess in the palace wouldn’t dare!
If it weren't for Ye Huan's unique constitution and his father being a Ninth-Level Expert, Durei IV was sure he would have sent this disobedient brat to feed his powerful Summoners.
After hesitating for a moment, Durei IV's gaze shifted back and forth between Ye Huan and his father, Ye Tian. Reluctantly, he made a compromise: "Fine, if you don't want to go to the palace, then starting today, I will come to the Ye Family every afternoon to teach you. Will that work?"
With that said, Durei IV raised his dazzling Crystal Book high and shook it as if threatening that it would come crashing down if Ye Huan opposed him.
Upon hearing that he wouldn't have to go to the palace after all, Ye Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.
As for Durei IV's promise of daily lessons in the afternoon, Ye Huan felt indifferent; after all, Ye Tian had already made it clear that he wasn't allowed to step outside until he reached Third Rank strength.
Rather than spending every day bored at the Ye Family, it would be much better to improve his strength and see what this world outside was really like…
In this moment, Ye Huan was daydreaming about the possibility of going out for a stroll, while Ye Tian had no choice but to politely see off the other powerful figures, apart from Durei IV, at the door. He wore a smile and even handed over a large amount of silver notes to those strong individuals.
Once these powerful figures departed in their luxurious carriages from the Ye Family, Ye Tian turned his attention back to where Ye Huan and Durei IV were standing, softly murmuring, "Son, the physical test is over, and you have a good teacher now. From here on out, it all depends on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian's figure flickered and instantly vanished from the spot, leaving behind a faint afterimage as he watched Ye Huan and Durei IV walk into Ye Huan's room together.
In Huaxia Nation, any renowned family—be it the master, young master, or guests—would never worry about food and drink. Long before mealtime, the servants would have already prepared the meals for them.
The Ye Family, established by Ninth-Level Expert Ye Tian, was no exception. Just as lunchtime arrived, no fewer than twenty dishes, all fragrant and delicious, were served in front of the eldest young master Ye Huan and Court Chief Mage Durei IV.
After a whirlwind of activity, Durei IV magically produced a wooden toothpick and placed it in his mouth. Without a hint of decorum, he propped his leg up and directly addressed Ye Huan: "Disciple, now that we've finished eating, let me teach you how to become a qualified summoner..."
As he spoke, Durei IV waved his hand dramatically. A visible vortex appeared in the air, and a book suddenly flew out from within it. The cover clearly displayed four golden characters:
Summoning Encyclopedia!
Just as warriors need weapons and mages need staffs, summoners also require a medium through which they can unleash their abilities. This medium is known as the Summoning Book!
Typically, a Summoning Book resides within the summoner's body. Unless there is a particularly close relationship, it is rare to see what kind of Summoning Book lies within a summoner.
What floated before Ye Huan now was Durei IV's Summoning Book. The title was clearly written on the cover; it could be inferred that this book contained no fewer than a hundred Summoners. One could only imagine the level of power Durei IV possessed!
Before Ye Huan's eyes, Durei IV flipped open the first page of the Summoning Book like a child showing off their favorite toy. Instantly, a vivid illustration appeared before Ye Huan...
