Chapter 94 - Testing the Gate of summoning

Lan Xuanyu was momentarily disappointed, but he was glad to be able to speak to Nana. “Teacher Nana, eh, give me a moment.”

He could not stop as the lava hounds around him were already charging towards him.

“Talk to teacher and leave them to me,” Dong Qianqiu rushed forward and said while performing a sweep with the dark blue spear against the pack of lava hounds. Liu Feng, who had gained Lan Xuanyu’s strengthening too had followed her lead.

“Xuanyu, listen to me. There are a few strange factors with regards to you being able to summon Qianqiu. Teacher needs you to coordinate with me for some tests.” Nana’s voice came out again.

“Of course! But I am unsure as to how this is happening as well. I wanted to ask you about it.”

“Following this, I will need you to perform a summon every ten minutes, would you be able to achieve that on your side?”

Lan Xuanyu looked at Qian Lei.

“It shouldn’t be a problem if the battle ends quickly,” Qian Lei replied.

“Good, then proceed to the end of this scenario first. I will explain everything later,” Nana said.

“Oh, oh,” Lan Xuanyu responded.

With Dong Qianqiu’s help, it naturally became easy for them to handle the lava hounds. After multiple tests, Liu Feng discovered that a single enhancement from Lan Xuanyu only allowed him to unleash one attack, but if the gold-patterned Blue Silver Grass was wrapped around him, the enhancement would be sustained. The white dragon spear seemed to be awakened as resounding dragon roars would accompany his attacks. The lethality of his strikes had increased greatly as well as his control over his speed. Furthermore, the increase in his strength did not merely stop at twofold.

After the completion of the scenario, they entered once again and performed the same summons. They performed three tests, two of which were successful while one turned out to be a failure.

The fourth summon was a success.

“Qianqiu, don’t kill all the lava hounds for now, I wish to speak to Xuanyu.” Nana’s voice came out from the other side.

“Ok teacher.”

“Teacher Nana, what is going on?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.

“The reason why we are able to communicate through the Gate of Summoning is due to the spatial resonance between us. Spatial resonance is a phenomenon where two completely different space vibrates at the same frequency, producing a resonance that results in a channel that connects those two spaces,” Nana replied. “But such a thing is almost impossible because the probability of such a thing to occur is too slim. So what you are able to summon now is actually extremely unique. Xuanyu, now you and I will attempt a few tests to allow me to determine how this resonance is produced.”

“Ok.” Lan Xuanyu nodded his head.

Qian Lei and Liu Feng stood dumbfounded by the side. How could such a thing happen for Lan Xuanyu’s teacher to be on the other side of the Gate of Summoning?

The two eyed Lan Xuanyu suspiciously, the shock on their faces was visibly apparent.

Lan Xuanyu did not bother to explain anything to them. “Teacher Nana, what do you need to me to do?”

Nana thought for a moment and said, “First, kill all but one lava hound. Leave it alive and aside. When the Gate of Summoning ends, how much time do you need to re-summon another one?”

Lan Xuanyu looked at Qian Lei, and he replied, “If I wait until the first gate disappears, I roughly need half an hour of time, but since we are currently in the Soul world, I can immediately do a summon if we go out and do it all over again.”

“Alright, then kill off all the lava hounds. 10 minutes later, enter the simulated world and try doing it again. If you fail to summon Qianqiu out, then get out and wait another 10 minutes before doing another.”

Although he was unsure of what Nana was doing, Lan Xuanyu agreed.

With Dong Qianqiu’s help, it was no longer difficult for them to deal with those lava hounds. They quickly ended the battle and left.

They then attempted to perform the re-summon according to Nana’s instructions.

What surprised Lan Xuanyu was that their second summon failed to call out Dong Qianqiu as anticipated by Nana, but with a stroke of good luck, they summoned a strong spirit beast and by coordinating with it, they passed the test.

After 10 minutes, they attempted a third summon and met with Dong Qianqiu.

“Xuanyu, I have some hypotheses now. Next, I need you to repeat the process. Attempt a few more summons.” Nana’s voice came out from the other side.

After summoning for over 10 times, despite logging out and logging back into the virtual world, and allowing Qian Lei’s cultivation and Spiritual Power to be restored, he became too tired.

After summoning Dong Qianqiu out once again, Lan Xuanyu had no choice but to inform Nana about what’s happening. “Teacher Nana, my teammate might not be able to last for another summon.”

“En, then we will end it here for today. I have a few thoughts on this. Xuanyu, what I can tell you is that the spatial resonance is most probably produced between you and me. After the tests, I am sure of this,” she replied.

Lan Xuanyu was startled. “You mean to say that if we are strong enough, we can summon you over to my side?”

Nana laughed. “That will be difficult, or I should say, almost impossible. But I do not know why this is something that I am somewhat sure of. We shall end it here for today, go back and have a good rest.”

Dong Qianqiu looked over at Lan Xuanyu curiously, seemingly wanting to say something but did not know how to phrase it. She shrugged her hands. “I’m off.”

With that, the Gate of Summoning disappeared.

The trio returned to their room and Qian Lei laid weakly on his own bed right away. The continuous summons had exhausted him. It was his first time in his entire life to do so many summons in one day. After all, his spirit was unreliable. By using it once and having a bit of luck, he would be successful, otherwise, he would lose. The continuous usage of his spirit had taken a huge toll on him.

Compared to him, Liu Feng was brimming with excitement during the entire experiment.

Ordinarily, he had an introverted personality and was mostly uncommunicative, especially after enrolling in the Elite Junior class and being paired with Qian Lei to be ranked at the very last. It made him feel inferior since all his peers were outstanding.

But the past two days were different. Lan Xuanyu’s arrival brought a sky-toppling change for dorm 333.

With Xuanyu’s help, Qian Lei’s summon became reliable while his white dragon spear became much stronger. It was truly a miraculous change!

The past Liu Feng used to look down on Auxiliary system Spirit masters, but the current him viewed Lan Xuanyu as the best support.

Liu Feng had the utmost confidence of being the best in speed. Adding the increase in his lethality, who did he have to fear?

He could picture their future, their achievements, and their results that were bound to increase by a substantial amount with the changes that Lan Xuanyu brought with him!

“Xuanyu, we have been summoning for the entire day. Are you tired? If you’re not, can you try coordinating with me?” Liu Feng asked with excitement.

“I still feel fine! It was Qian Lei doing the summons today. Shall we have a try?” Lan Xuanyu replied.

While supporting Liu Feng previously, he always used the gold patterned Blue Silver Grass on his right hand. He had a feeling that under his support, Liu Feng’s white dragon spear seemed to awaken. The awakened white dragon spear’s might had increased more than twofold, but then, what about the silver patterned Blue Silver Grass? Will it be any different?

They were only testing the changes in the spirit and not do battle, unlike Qian Lei’s spirit summon that might cause collateral damage, so it was fine to conduct the test in the dorm room.

Without hesitation, Liu Feng immediately summoned his white dragon spear.

Inside the dorm, his white dragon spear appeared to be more tangible, the snow-white body of the spear was spotless, while the dragon head that spat out the speartip emitted a faint cold chill.

Liu Feng nodded towards Lan Xuanyu.
