C13 The Difference in Grade of Summoner
The group of people from the Duanmu Family left the Xiao Family in a hurry.
The expressions on everyone's faces were not very good. They were not as arrogant and arrogant as before. There was only humiliation and lingering fear.
Especially the leader of this group, one of the numerous experts of Duanmu Family, Duanmu Bote.
"That blonde girl isn't a human."
This was the first thing Duanmu Bote said after a long journey away from the Xiao Family. After hearing this, neither Duanmu Yunrou nor Young Sect Master, Tian Yuhao, objected.
"I never thought that the Xiao Family would have such a terrifying existence! Looks like we have underestimated the Xiao Family in the past!"
"Although it has declined over the years, it is still the descendant of that madman from over three hundred years ago. The Xiao Family has been standing strong for so many years, and it does indeed have some trump cards and trump cards. "
All of a sudden, Duanmu Bote felt a trace of regret in his heart. He regretted agreeing to his niece's unreasonable request and coming to the Xiao Family to cancel the engagement.
If the engagement was canceled, then the betrothal would be canceled. If they could be peaceful, then Xiao Family would be able to take care of the overall situation. As long as both parties discussed a way that would not make them lose out, the engagement would be canceled.
However, because the Duanmu Family had seen the Xiao Family getting weaker and weaker over the years, they no longer treated the Xiao Family as a family that could talk on equal terms. All along, their attitude towards the Xiao Family had always been very firm. It could not even be said that it was an exchange between allies, but more like it was between vassal families. He shouted and shouted.
It was the same this time. Even though Duanmu Yunrou wanted to cancel the engagement, she disdained Second Young Master of Xiao Family. But if she did not have the support of her family's elders, would Duanmu Yunrou have such guts?
Even if it was the spoiled little princess, if the elders of the Duanmu Family did not agree, would she be able to come out this time?
It was all because of the secret support of the elders of the Duanmu Family that allowed Duanmu Yunrou to come out this time. After calling him, they came to Xiao Family together. It was obvious that they were here to discuss the annulment of the engagement, but even an idiot could see it. This was the Duanmu Family's intention.
The Xiao Family had fallen, and the Duanmu Family was no longer willing to maintain an equal relationship with the Xiao Family.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated that the relationship between the two parties had been completely drawn out after so many years, the fact that the marriage was annulled had already made this point clear. The Xiao Family was not strong enough, so the Duanmu Family no longer wanted to continue cooperating with them.
A simple annulment of the engagement actually contained quite a lot of meanings.
Of course, Duanmu Bote was the only one who had made some guesses about this. As for Duanmu Yunrou, although she was talented and intelligent, she did not know what was going on. From the beginning to the end, she probably only wanted the so-called annulment of the engagement. As for the rest, she did not consider it at all.
"Seventh Uncle, father and the others have been saying that the Xiao Family is no longer capable. It seems like even though these people are in decline, as the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Xiao Family isn't as weak as they appear to be. "
This was the first time in Duanmu Yunrou's life that she had suffered a blow. This young lady, who had never suffered any losses since she was young and had never suffered any grievances, had suffered many setbacks today.
First of all, regarding the matter of the annulment of the engagement, although the marriage had been completely annulled, however, a certain someone's gaze was even more disdainful than when she looked at a certain someone. That hateful tone. It made the Eldest Miss feel as if she had eaten a fly in her heart. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
She even suspected that those rumors in the past were true? Was that ignorant and lecherous Second Young Master of Xiao Family really the real Second Young Master of Xiao Family? Why did he look at her with no adoration or even greed in his eyes? There was only endless disgust?
"Remember! I, this young master, have dumped you, not you, not this young master!"
These words were still echoing in his mind.
"Rou'er, how's your Sword Lady's current situation?"
Duanmu Bote asked with a concerned expression.
"It won't be able to be summoned again for a short period of time. That sword strike from before has completely planned her soul power. It will take some time for her to recover."
Duanmu Yunrou smiled bitterly. The creature that Summoner summoned actually did not exist in this world. The reason why it could materialize and appear directly was entirely because of the condensation of soul power.
The longer the Summoned Creature stayed in this world, the more soul power needed to be expended. Although they also had a certain amount of soul force, they still needed Summoner to provide more.
Because of this, in Illusionary Soul Continent, Summoner rarely allowed the Summoned Creature to continuously appear by his side. That would consume too much soul power. Even if it was a Heavenly Grade Summoner, his soul power was not endless.
Therefore, normally, apart from when it was necessary, the Summoned Creature would temporarily return to the Another Dimensional Space they were in, and would be summoned again when there was a need.
As long as the contract still existed, Summoner could instantly activate the summoning formation with just a thought, and then appear in this world.
Once the Summoned Creature's soul force was exhausted too much, it would be unable to maintain its physical form. Under serious circumstances, the Summoned Creature might even die and disappear. Of course, the so-called death was not really death. Instead, it was returning to their own world. Another Dimensional Space.
Just like this time, Duanmu Yunrou's Summoned Creature was the sword wielding girl who had appeared in the Xiao Family in a skin-tight leather armor. Due to the sudden severe injury, all of her soul energy was almost destroyed. Therefore, she was forced to return to the Another Dimensional Space.
If this situation was even more serious, the contract might even break down. At that time, if he wanted to summon it again, he would need a certain amount of luck, which was the same as summoning it again.
"Fortunately, although Wushuang has quite a lot of weight this time, it did not affect the contract. After a period of time, he can still summon it again."
Duanmu Yunrou felt a little fortunate. She was currently an eighth grade Summoner. She was only 17 years old. She was definitely a genius among geniuses! As for the Duanmu Family, they had spent a lot of money and resources to summon a humanoid hero with the strength of a peak tier 9.
This was also because Duanmu Yunrou's soul power was still weak for the time being. She had limited the strength of the female hero named Wushuang. According to some of the elders of the Duanmu Family, the true strength of Duanmu Yunrou's summoning hero was far more than what it was now. However, because Duanmu Yunrou's soul force was only at the eighth grade, the result of self-suppression was that she had reached the eighth grade.
If Duanmu Yunrou could break through to the Earth Grade, then it would be almost a hundred percent. Her summoning hero could also break through to the Earth Grade!
"En, that's good. After all, your Sword Lady was summoned by your family after spending a lot of money. One should know that this type of growth type Summoned Creature was very rare and precious. Especially when it's a Humanoid type. If nothing unexpected happened, your Sword Lady would at least be able to grow to the Earth Grade Level Six in the future. It might even be able to reach the Earth Grade Level Eight!"
At this point, Duanmu Bote felt a little envious. Although he was also a member of the Duanmu Family, he wasn't the eldest son after all. For a branch family disciple like him, the support he received from the family wouldn't be as good as the support from the family. Plus, his natural talent was not very outstanding, so he could not be compared to Duanmu Yunrou at all.
But even so, he still had an Earth Grade Hellhound as his Summoned Creature.
But compared to Duanmu Yunrou's Sword Lady, it was still far from enough. A Growth type and a Humanoid type, this was simply the best of the best! Second only to those Heavenly Grade and the rumored divine-grade!
For Duanmu Yunrou's Sword Lady, the Duanmu Family paid a considerable price. Only then did it succeed. Furthermore, that price caused even the Duanmu Family to feel some heartache. It could be said that this kind of treatment could only be enjoyed by Duanmu Yunrou, who had outstanding talent and was a direct descendant of the family. If it was anyone else, even if they were born with the same talent, they would never be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.
"But that blonde girl, who is the one who summoned the hero from the Xiao Family? Xiao Zhenshan? But I remember that he is the Great Earth Bear that disappeared ten thousand years ago. "
Duanmu Bote frowned, deeply puzzled in his heart.
"Seventh Uncle, could it be that Uncle Xiao is controlling two Summoned Creature at the same time? The Earth Bear is usually the most famous, and that golden-haired girl is his trump card?"
"No! Absolutely impossible!"
Duanmu Bote immediately rejected his niece's guess and patiently explained under her puzzled gaze. "Rou Er, although your talent is pretty good now, you still don't know much about Summoner. Yes, some powerful Summoner can indeed possess multiple Summoned Creature at the same time. As long as their soul power is sufficient. But very few people would do that. You must be curious, right?"
Sure enough, Duanmu Yunrou nodded with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, this is very simple. Because of anyone, even the legendary Heavenly Grade Summoner, who is at the top of the human race. Soul power is also fixed. Even though it is powerful, it is not endless. As for Summoned Creature, the higher the grade, the more abnormal its requirements for Soul Points were! This phenomenon was not obvious when one was at a low grade. When one reached the Earth Grade, it will be fully felt."
"Just like me, my soul power is now at the Earth Grade Level Three. With the support of my family, my consumption rate is even greater than that of an ordinary Earth Grade Level Five Summoner. However, just maintaining an Earth Grade Level Three hellhound makes Uncle Wei feel powerless. You might have noticed it during normal times, but you didn't take it to heart. Didn't you notice that most of Summoner was below the ninth grade? Many people could have Summoned Creature that was higher in grade than their soul power and not higher than the peak of the ninth grade. However, at the Earth Grade stage, many of Summoner's Summoned Creature... Is it lower than your own soul power grade?"
"Ah! Seventh uncle, as you said, that is indeed the case! However, isn't it because the higher the grade, the harder it is to summon successfully? "
" Right, that's not right either! This is indeed a reason, but for example... Your father, my big brother, is now an Earth Grade Level Seven Soul Energy. Why is his Summoned Creature only at the Earth Grade Level Six? If the rest of Summoner's strength is not depleted, will your father be worried about this? "
Duanmu Yunrou's expression changed. She finally understood. That's right, her father was the patriarch of Duanmu Family. Even his Summoned Creature was a grade lower than her own soul force.
"It seems like even the legendary Heavenly Grade Summoner might not be able to possess the strength of a Heavenly Grade Summoned Creature or a hero."
