Chapter 2025: As Long as You Are Strong

Chapter 2025: As Long as You Are Strong

Ning Shu slept until noon the next day and woke up full of vigor.
“Shuangshuang, take your brother to the Summoner Union to see if he can become a summoner. He is already six years old.” Yue Xing said to Ning Shu, with intense expectation in his eyes.
If both of their children were summoners, the Yue family could potentially rise up from their low social status.
Ning Shu nodded, “Okay.”
Ning Shu took Little Bean’s hand as they walked towards the union and asked, “Are you nervous?”
“No…not nervous.” Little Bean’s voice trembled. Ning Shu responded with a smile, “Even if you can’t become a summoner, it’s fine. With your current strength, an ordinary summoner is no match for you at all.”
As of now, if Little Bean clenched his fist and gave someone a punch, if the person wasn’t that strong they’d be instant KOed.
“Dad wants me to be a summoner.” Little Bean pouted and was about to cry.
Right now summoners were acknowledged by the mainstream as the most powerful. Everyone regarded being a summoner who can produce a summoned beast as the greatest honor.
Ning Shu said with a smile, “As long as you are strong, as long as you can protect yourself, as long as you can kill monsters- it doesn’t matter whether you are a summoner or not.”
One of the drawbacks of being a summoner was that their power came from the summoned beast. As such, they were extremely dependent on the summoned beast during battle. This was risky though because the summoned beast was not an immortal creature and could also die.
When a summoned beast died, the summoner had to summon another, sign the contract, and restart training all over again. It was all very difficult.
One’s power should be in their own hands.
“If you can’t become a summoner, then we will become an Attacking Vital Energy Clan.” Ning Shu patted Little Bean’s shoulder.
“Attacking Vital Energy Clan.” Little Bean’s eyes lit up. “It sounds so powerful.”
Ning Shu took Little Bean into the union, and someone took Little Bean in to test.
Ning Shu waited outside. After half an hour, Little Bean came out. He hung his head and looked shocked and dejected.
Ning Shu knew he had failed by sight alone.
Summoners were rarely born from commoners. Yue Shuangshuang was already quite lucky to become a summoner.
“Yue Jun has no potential to become a summoner.”
“Wa…” Little Bean threw himself into Ning Shu’s arms, crying heartbrokenly.
People around them ignored the common display. Too many people failed every day.
Ning Shu carried Little Bean out of the union.
“Big Sister, I can’t become a summoner. Dad will definitely be disappointed.” Little Bean said, wiping his tears as he sobbed.
Ning Shu patted Little Bean’s face, “Smile and live with it.”
Little Bean: …
“Big Sister, I’m sad. I can’t smile.”
Ning Shu’s expression was relaxed. “Since you can’t become a summoner, then you should just properly train your body and develop its potential. Big Sister wasn’t joking when she said she wanted to establish an Attacking Vital Energy Clan, you know.”
“But I want to have a summoned beast like Little Grass who can accompany me and play with me.” Little Bean wasn’t that sad anymore, but he still hadn’t accepted his non-summoner status.
A summoned beast like Little Grass? Ning Shu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. With all the resources she’d spent on Little Grass, who knew how many summoned beasts could’ve been cultivated.
The advantages of being strong are obvious. However, you must be willing to invest the resources to get there.
Therefore, cultivating plant-based summoned beasts was not as cost-effective as animal-based summoned beasts.
“Be a man and wipe away your tears.” Ning Shu wiped the tears from Little Bean’s face with her sleeve. She planned to go to the mercenary union to find the scarred mercenary.
