Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1015 - 167: Demon Beast Forest

Half an hour later, when Yun Sheng walked out of the Summoning Institute again, she had already received the Penglai Summoning Institute’s certification, confirming that Little Black was a Holy Beast, and she had smoothly become a Holy Beast Summoner.

The summoners in the institute looked at her with eyes full of respect.

In Penglai, the level of a summoner is judged in two ways: one, by the summoner’s own strength to determine the corresponding level, and the other, by the beast’s strength to determine the summoner’s level.

After all, being able to contract a Holy Beast-level beast means the summoner’s strength is no longer of major concern. Having a Holy Beast is equivalent to possessing the combat power of a Holy Beast.

After Little Black easily defeated several high-level Demon Beasts, no one doubted Little Black’s strength anymore.

Yun Sheng’s hand also now held a new Summoning Ring (she temporarily put away the Beast Language Ring).

Even in Penglai, the number of Holy Beast Summoners does not exceed one hundred.

For summoners at the Holy Beast level, the Summoning Court is quite generous. Any Holy Beast Summoner registered and certified by the Summoning Court can have a private residence on any island in Penglai, a Wuji Gold Card with a million Gold Coins, and a Summoning Ring inlaid with a Holy Beast soul stone, all of which are available for unconditional use.

Yun Sheng also learned from Chang Wei that the institute serves many purposes in Penglai.

Besides providing certification for those aspiring to become summoners, the institute in Penglai Island also serves a similar function to the Hunter Soldier Union in several countries on the continent, providing job opportunities for summoners.

Some free summoners can be employed permanently or temporarily by the Summoning Court or other organizations or individuals at the institute.

Yun Sheng did not accept the institute’s employment offer, knowing that the Seventh Summoner would definitely come looking for her. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Yun Sheng deliberately walked slowly when leaving the institute.

She had long noticed that the Seventh Summoner was waiting outside the institute.

Sure enough, after a few steps, the Seventh Summoner spotted Yun Sheng and followed her.

"Master Yan Yun! Please, slow down!" The Seventh Summoner called out with a flattering expression.

"Seventh Summoner, I was unaware earlier that you were the main summoner of the Summoning Court, I apologize for my previous disrespect," Yun Sheng replied with a look of surprise and modesty.

"Master, I want to privately hire you to be our Demon Beast Forest’s Breeding Summoner," the Seventh Summoner candidly extended his invitation.

He took Yun Sheng to the city’s most luxurious restaurant.

From the Seventh Summoner, Yun Sheng learned that the Seventh Summoner had recently accepted an assignment from the Summoning Court regarding the Demon Beast Forest.

But recently, a strange event occurred in the Demon Beast Forest.

In the Demon Beast Forest, there are a large number of mid-high rank and even Holy Beast level Demon Beasts residing, which are very important for the Summoning Court because summoners use them for contracts.

For the past hundreds of years, there have been no issues with the Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Forest.

However, about three days ago, right after the unfortunate accident of the Summoning Court’s Second Main Summoner, Demon Beasts in the forest started dying one after another, and most of them were high-level Demon Beasts.

"Besides the Second Main Summoner, doesn’t the Summoning Court have other breeding summoners?" Yun Sheng thought it was impossible for a vast Demon Beast Forest to have only one Breeding Summoner.

"There are other breeding summoners responsible for the forest, albeit of lower or middle ranks, but for high-level breeding, only the Second Main Summoner managed it. Not to mention a Holy Beast Tamer Summoner like you," the Seventh Summoner explained. To manage the Demon Beast Forest well, he even mobilized private resources, rehiring a few breeding summoners, but these people only knew how to boast.

While accepting the Seventh Summoner’s money, each promised to resolve the forest’s troubles within a few days. But as days passed, beasts continued to perish in batches.

Every morning, when he saw the corpses of Demon Beasts being carried out of the forest, the Seventh Summoner looked more distressed than if he’d lost his mother.

"Master Yan Yun, could you accept my invitation to visit the Demon Beast Forest and investigate the specific cause of death for these Demon Beasts?" The Seventh Summoner shifted away from his earlier dismissive demeanor, now speaking in an ingratiating tone.

Now, in the Seventh Summoner’s eyes, this summoner called "Yan Yun" was more important than his own mother.

Yan Yun had already been confirmed as a Holy Beast Breeding Summoner.

In Penglai, breeding summoners are divided into several ranks: low-level, middle-level, high-level, and Holy Beast Breeding Summoner.

As the name suggests, a breeding summoner of the corresponding rank can raise beasts of that level.

The Summoning Court’s Second Main Summoner was a high-level breeding summoner, and many of the high-level Demon Beasts in the forest had been nurtured by the Second Main Summoner over the decades.

With just this ability, the Second Main Summoner could be the second most influential person in the Summoning Court, right after the Summon Emperor and the First Main Summoner, reigning for decades.

Previously, the Seventh Summoner also dreaded the Second Main Summoner’s ability, but this sudden emergence of Yan Yun made him realize how outmatched the Second Main Summoner was.

This young summoner, young enough to be the Second Main Summoner’s granddaughter, turned out to be a Holy Beast Summoner.

Given ten years, she might rear hundreds or even thousands of Holy Beasts for the Summoning Court.

My goodness, those are Holy Beasts! With so many Holy Beasts, not to mention the Wuji Continent, even the Eight Desolates Tribe could pose no threat to the Summoning Court.

Besides, how old exactly is Yan Yun? Supposedly she is only eighteen years old.

At eighteen, she’s already able to breed Holy Beasts. In a few decades, who knows if she could breed King-level Demon Beasts — that’s still an unknown.

Never mind the Summoning Court, any faction on the continent knowing of Yan Yun’s existence would definitely vie for her.

If the Red Robe Summoning Emperor learned about Yan Yun, to enlist her, he might hire her as a Main Summoner.

By then, she would even threaten the Seventh Summoner’s status.

So after weighing the pros and cons, the Seventh Summoner took her on quickly and spared no expense, offering her a salary of a hundred thousand Purple Gold Coins per month.

Of course, the Seventh Summoner didn’t expect Yan Yun to breed a Holy Beast for him within a month. What he wanted was for Yan Yun to tidy up the forest within that time.

The Seventh Summoner also had other plans. During this month, he would probe Yan Yun’s abilities. If she truly managed the forest well, he would devise ways to keep her.

If she refused, he planned to have her killed after the task.

A flash of malice flickered in his eyes, which Yun Sheng noticed, and she coldly smirked inside.

Yun Sheng and the Seventh Summoner conversed for a while, then decided that the Seventh Summoner would take Yun Sheng to the Demon Beast Forest on Fire Island.

He would also provide Yun Sheng with a token, allowing her free access to Fire Island within this month.
