"So… your name is You Chu, right?"
"Yes." You Chu nodded.
Captain Shao Changsheng looked at You Chu and then at the female swordsman standing beside You Chu like a protector.
The Light Swordmaster, Moonlight stood quietly beside her Summoner, like a blade sealed in a scabbard.
Shao Changsheng could not help but size her up.
Although Shao Changsheng had spent his entire life in a small place like Black City, he was still a Bronze Summoner.
However, he had to admit that he had never seen a spell spirit like the female swordsman in front of him.
He could not say what it was exactly, but he felt that this female swordsman had something that he had never seen before in spell spirits. A certain invisible and cold temperament made people respect her.
Noticing Shao Changsheng's daze, You Chu smiled. "Don't be nervous, Captain Shao. Just do your job and pretend she doesn't exist."
Actually, You Chu did not mean to let his spell spirit scare others. It was just that he realized that for some reason, this "Light Swordsman, Moonlight" had been in a summoning state since it was pulled out from the system. It seemed like he could not deactivate it…
"Oh, it's fine. I…"
Only then did Shao Changsheng realize that he might have been staring at the spell spirit for too long. He replied casually, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
'Wait a minute, I think I'm the sheriff. The other side should be the victim, right?'
Shouldn't he be the one telling the other party not to be nervous?
So is he wrong or am I wrong?
"Ahem." Shao Changsheng returned to the topic. "I just heard from the others that you defeated the Dark Summoners in the enemy's base and saved the others?"
"That's what happened."
"Very impressive. You became a Summoner at such a young age and have such strength." Shao Changsheng praised him and continued to ask, "Then, can I ask how long you have been a Summoner?"
You Chu pondered for two seconds and glanced at the bright moon hanging in the sky. "May I ask how long has passed since we were rescued?"
Shao Changsheng was stunned for a moment. He did not understand, but he still looked down at his watch.
"About … an hour or so. Why?"
"I see," You Chu said seriously. "Then I must have been a Summoner for just over an hour."
Shao Changsheng: "?"
You Chu decided he was telling the truth.
Only those who could successfully summon a spell spirit were qualified to be called a Summoner. The first summoning of a spell spirit in You Chu's life was probably in that church an hour ago, so he was naturally to become a Summoner.
Shao Changsheng felt that he did not understand.
"Are you trying to say that when you were inside… you broke through at the last minute?"
"That's how it is," You Chu said with absolute certainty.
Shao Changsheng: (☆☆; )
'Huh?'
Breaking through just like that? Was it that simple?
'What do you think this is, a broken ***?'
"So you're saying," Shao Changsheng tried to find an explanation that he could barely accept, "that although you've already refined the card, you've never been able to master the summoning method.
Just now, at the critical moment in that church, you successfully completed the spell spirit summoning for the first time, right?"
It was still an acceptable explanation. There had been similar cases in history—some young would-be Summoners who had struggled to master the art of summoning, who had only mastered the trick under certain circumstances, stimulated by external factors, to complete the conjuring.
"…Something like that," You Chu said vaguely.
At this point, Little Li from the Ops team came forward. "Sorry to interrupt, Sir, but someone wants to have a word with you…"
"I'm busy now," Shao Changsheng said impatiently.
"I know, Sir, but it's Luo Qing from Jiangdu Summoner University," Little Li said thoughtfully. "I thought you might want to meet."
"I said I was… Wait, who did you say it was?" Shao Changsheng's eyelids twitched.
At this moment, You Chu had already noticed the young girl following behind Little Li.
The casual undershirt and tight jeans hooked out a pair of long legs. The pleasant curves of her body, paired with her beautiful face full of collagen, were eye-catching.
"Luo Qing?" Shao Changsheng gasped and made a driving contribution to global warming.
Although she looked to be in her twenties, the girl's background was not so simple.
Luo Qing, a master's student at Jiangdu Summoner University, published a large number of domestic and foreign academic papers. The top one was even collected by the world's top Summoner journals and was involved in more than 20 national scientific research projects.
She was definitely a super big shot.
Shao Changsheng knew her because the Mayor had invited this god to give a speech as the city's outstanding youth representative at a celebration last year.
It was summer at that time, and it happened to be the season where the ladies dressed up the most coolly. When Luo Qing gave her speech, the gentlemen below the stage widened their eyes and their legs were filled with brains.
After getting Shao Changsheng's permission, Luo Qing came to You Chu.
You Chu didn't recognize her, but he noticed the respectful attitude of the others toward the girl. He guessed that she had a powerful background. She might be a high-level Summoner.
It was hard to say if he was a Summoner. After all, it wasn't easy to tell if a person had something in their stomach.
However, it could be seen from her appearance that she was at least magnanimous.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Qing." She extended her hand to You Chu. "I'm doing my master's at Jiangdu Sorcerer University."
She had long fingers and beautifully manicured nails. The overall shape was very nice.
"You Chu." You Chu shook her hand.
"I just got a summary of the general situation," Luo Qing said. "I'm just a little curious about your situation."
She glanced at Light Swordmaster, Moonlight, who was standing beside You Chu.
"May I ask if I can take a look at your spell spirit card?"
She was very polite and her tone was very formal. The elegant demeanor of an intellectual and the beauty of a city girl were perfectly integrated in her. It was enough to make anyone who first met her like her.
Any card was bound to the Summoner himself. It could not be transferred or taken away, so there was no harm in showing it to others. You Chu also wanted to know what kind of situation his initial spell spirit was in this world, and the girl in front of him seemed to be an expert, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Luo Qing took the Light Swordsman, Moonlight card from him and quickly scanned the basic information.
[Light Swordsman—Moonlight]
[Attribute: Light]
[Race: Human]
[Spell Spirit Level: Level 1]
[Attack Power: 2,500]
[Skill—Moon God Barrier: Creates a spell barrier to block attacks.]
There was only so much information recorded on the card, but it was obvious that as an expert, Luo Qing could tell more.
She examined the card engraving carefully, then looked up, her bright eyes shining with a strange light.
"The quality of this card…"
Luo Qing looked at Youchu.
"… It's an Epic, right?"
The entire scene fell silent.
Everyone who heard this stopped what they were doing in unison. All their gazes were focused on You Chu and the spell spirit beside him.
Captain Shao Changsheng: (^_^)?
Did someone just mention an Epic or something?
