Chapter 2004: How Could a Blade of Gra.s.s Jump Over a Ledge?

Your summoned beast is your partner. In everyday situations, itd be good to release it so you can interact with each other more, Instructor Wen said.

Lian Bingmeng was the first to tell her summoned beast to jump over the high platform. The little meaty dragon wiggled his b.u.t.t as a sign of unwillingness, spread his little fleshy wings, flapped his wings, and flew over.

One by one, the other students completed the exercises while Ning Shu watched from the sidelines, holding her flowerpot.

As the only person who didnt complete the a.s.signment, Ning Shu was excluded and felt big sad.

But Ning Shu had no way to engage with this type of training or complete the exercise at all. How could a blade of gra.s.s jump over a ledge?

Instructor Wen walked over to Ning Shu. Your summoned beast is a bit weak. Try to communicate with it more. If you can, you should also give it some wisdom fruit juice to absorb.

Instructor, how could Yue Shuangshuang afford wisdom fruits? Her family are commoners and a single wisdom fruit costs thousands of gold coins. A student laughed.

Isnt it just a wisdom fruit? Ill give Shuangshuang one. Whats so funny!? Can people choose the family theyre born in? Holding her fleshy winged dragon in her arms, Lian Bingmeng walked to Ning Shu and stuffed a bright red fruit into Ning Shus hand.

Ning Shu glanced down briefly. The fruit was about the size of a strawberry and had an enchanting fragrance. Some of the summoned beasts that smelled it became agitated.

This fruit could improve the intelligence of summoned beasts.

Ning Shu couldnt help but think of the wisdom pill. She once gave three wisdom pills to that kelp. But unexpectedly Qingyue, that kelp, actually fudging became smarter than her!

She also ate a wisdom pill. How come her IQ didnt skyrocket?

This is too valuable. I cant accept it. To be honest, Ning Shu didnt think being ridiculed for her familys poverty was a big deal. However, Lian Bingmeng gave her a wisdom fruit in front of so many people with a tone as nonchalant as a feather. Like it was nothing.

Thousands of gold coins may be nothing to Lian Bingmeng, but for a family like Yue Shuangshuangs, a wisdom fruit was something that they wouldnt be able to afford even if they saved their entire life for it.

As a carpenter, Father Yue only earned a few silver coins every month.

Being a summoner was a n.o.ble and respected profession that was simultaneously extremely expensive but also extremely profitable.

It was the most embarra.s.sing to be a summoner like Yue Shuangshuang.

If you view me as your friend, you will just take it, Lian Bingmeng said.

If Lian Bingmeng truly wanted to treat Yue Shuangshuang like a friend, she wouldnt do this. Acting as a savior would only make an already horrible situation even more humiliating.

Sigh

Ning Shu returned the wisdom fruit to Lian Bingmeng. Thank you for your good intentions.

Lian Bingmeng knitted her brows, Yue Shuangshuangs reaction was a bit unexpected. She had actually refused the wisdom fruit Lian Bingmeng offered her.

To be honest, anyone with even a little bit of self-esteem wouldnt have accepted Lian Bingmengs offer. Yet Ning Shu was expected to be deeply grateful.

No one liked doing things that would completely destroy their self-esteem.

Wisdom fruit is not cheap. Lian Bingmeng, please take it back, Instructor Wen said softly. He then asked Ning Shu. Can you still call another summoned beast? If it comes to it, you should just give up on this one.

Instructor, my spiritual consciousness is not enough to summon and control another summoned beast, Ning Shu said. A persons spiritual consciousness was determined from birth. There might be ways to enhance ones spiritual consciousness, but Yue Shuangshuangs spiritual consciousness was truly just too weak.

Otherwise, she wouldnt have ended up just summoning a blade of gra.s.s.

Instructor Wen paused for a while, then comforted Ning Shu, Heaven never completely bars ones way. Dont despair, you will find a way through. There is no such thing as a useless summoned beast.

Thank you, Instructor. Ning Shu bowed towards Instructor Wen. This was simply the nature of cultivation. Natural talent, resources, and luck were all indispensable to ones ability to achieve success here.

Yet Yue Shuangshuang had none of them.

The chance of Yue Shuangshuang becoming powerful was very small.
