Chapter 13 Chen Yues Request

  After walking through the door, Chen Yue's eyes suddenly lit up. The room wasn't as gloomy and cramped as it looked from the outside. Instead, it was as big as a classroom, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. The interior decoration was quite classical and exquisite. Many things were never seen before. Of course, with Chen Yue's limited knowledge since he had just arrived in this other world not long ago, he couldn't recognize most of them.

  There wasn't only Venia in the room. There was also a young man who looked very sunny. On his chest hung the badge of the Apostle Association, on which a colorful diamond was painted: a first-order apostle.

  “Are you Chen Yue?” A low and sexy voice came from the front. Looking in the direction of the voice, Chen Yue only saw a woman with an elegant temperament like a noble lady sitting behind a table made of ancient nanmu wood. She was staring at him intently. It seemed that she was Venia mentioned by Aina. She exuded a strong intellectual aura. If she wore a pair of glasses, she would be no different from an intellectual beauty on Earth.

  Suddenly, Chen Yue's pupils shrank. He saw that on Venia's shoulder, there was a familiar spirit the size of a palm, composed entirely of water elements. Four thin water wings on its back flapped gently like cicada wings. This wasn't what frightened Chen Yue. What caught his attention was the life halos under the familiar spirit's feet. There were exactly four of them.

  A four-star familiar spirit.

  That represented an increase in strength by four ranks on the current level.

  This Venia must be a high-ranking apostle. In terms of status, she was definitely not low in the Apostle Association.

  It seemed that she had noticed the change in Chen Yue's expression. Venia smiled indifferently. “Chen Yue, I heard from Aina that you survived the first impact without the help of a high-ranking apostle?”

  “Yes.” Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue immediately calmed down. He took the frozen rabbit that had been lazily lying on his shoulder down and held it in his hands. When he summoned the frozen rabbit just now, he had already been prepared, so he didn't take it back.

  A flash of light suddenly appeared in Venia's eyes, and there was a hint of relief on her face. “Sure enough, Aina wasn't mistaken.” With the strength of a high-ranking apostle, she didn't necessarily have to see the summoning to distinguish between a familiar spirit and a magical beast.

  Then, she said eagerly, “Chen Yue, could you tell me the process of your first summoning? This is very important for the Apostle Association. Of course, as a reward, the association will also give you a certain reward.”

  “No problem.” Without hesitation, Chen Yue readily agreed. The effect was obvious, and Venia's favor towards him increased.

  After a pause, Chen Yue slowly told the story of the summoning process. Occasionally, he would stop and show a thoughtful expression to increase the credibility of his words. Of course, the version he told was an improved one. Transmigration was his biggest secret, and it was enough for him to know it alone.

  After finishing speaking, Chen Yue carefully observed Venia's expression. Her expression was very strange, with surprise, admiration, and, of course, more of regret.

  “Did she find out that I was lying?” Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.

  “What a pity.” Venia looked at Chen Yue. After judging that he wasn't lying, she couldn't help but sigh. “Originally, I thought I could find a way to survive the first impact from your successful experience. However, if you remembered correctly, the reason for this summoning's success was simply that your talent was far superior to that of ordinary people. For other apostles, it doesn't have much reference value.”

  So that's how it was. Chen Yue understood and also understood why she had been so eager to see him before. For a high-ranking apostle like Venia, finding a way to survive the first impact was the most important thing.

  “The first impact doesn't only exist in the first summoning of a familiar spirit. When you want to summon a new familiar spirit from the spirit world, you must endure the impact brought by the descent of the life essence core. The higher the star level of the familiar spirit, the more astonishing the impact's intensity. Although with the increase in rank, an apostle's ability to resist impact will also increase significantly, it still can't keep up with the increase in the impact's intensity. So, most apostles have very few familiar spirits. If they're not sure, even if they summon, they will choose familiar spirits with a lower star level.” Venia rubbed her forehead a bit distressed and explained the reason to Chen Yue.

  In fact, this was a problem that troubled all apostles. Who wouldn't envy powerful familiar spirits that could automatically increase in rank? However, the danger of summoning was too great, and many apostles could only choose the lowest-level familiar spirits as much as possible.

  Chen Yue nodded understandingly. In his opinion, such a rule was reasonable. The particularity of familiar spirits was really too overpowering. Without strict restrictions, other professionals would have no way to survive.

  “Although the information you brought isn't of great use, the association treats apostles with outstanding talent very generously. You don't have to worry about this. The rewards won't be few. After the registration is completed, it will be awarded to you. Aina.” She looked at the delicate girl beside her. “How much information is left unregistered?”

  Aina quickly scanned the writing board with her eyes. “Nothing else. It's just that the star level of the familiar spirit hasn't been registered yet.”

  “Then, let's complete the last item. Please open the life halo of your familiar spirit.” Turning her head, Venia said with a smile.

  Her voice was very calm. Come to think of it, he was a first-order apostle. What kind of surprise could he bring? If it weren't for the convention, she would have asked Aina to directly fill in the data of a one-star familiar spirit.

  However, today was obviously a day of surprises for her...

  Four lines of sight all gathered on the frozen rabbit. Aina was curious, Venia was calm, and the strangest was the sunny young man who hadn't spoken all along. His gaze was gloomy...

  With a thousand thoughts in his mind, in the next moment, Chen Yue opened the life halo.

  When the two bright halos lit up, Venia, who hadn't shown much emotion all along, suddenly stood up, put her hands on the table, and exclaimed with unprecedented excitement, “A two-star familiar spirit.”

  Aina and the sunny young man stared at Venia in surprise. In their impression, they had never seen her, who had always been graceful and calm, lose her composure like this.

  Noticing her own loss of composure, a blush flashed across Venia's face and she sat back down again. However, her heaving chest showed that she was not calm.

  A two-star familiar spirit. It was actually a two-star familiar spirit.

  It was almost an established fact among apostles that an apostle could only summon a familiar spirit with the same star level as his own rank. Unexpectedly, today, under her own witness, this fact was finally broken.

  It seemed that the evaluation she had given before was still too low...

  First, he completed the extremely dangerous familiar spirit summoning alone, and then he broke through the rank restriction and summoned across ranks. This couldn't be simply described by the word “genius” anymore.

  Venia's eyes sparkled with a strange light. “Chen Yue, I didn't expect you to give me another surprise. It seems that the reward I originally planned to give you is not enough... So I plan to add a reward on the original basis. You can make a request to me. As long as it's within my power, there will be no problem. Of course, the time limit for this request is within one year. As for the other reward...”

  She paused for a moment, and after whetting everyone's appetite, she smiled and said, “I will reward you with 100 points...”

  “No...” Nobody expected that the first one to jump out and object was the sunny young man who hadn't spoken before.

  He stood up, his eyes full of excitement.

  “No, Mentor Venia, this isn't fair...”

  “Wolf.” Venia's pretty face sank slightly and she said coldly, “I'm one of the three deacons of the association. You're not. You don't have the right to question the decision I've made.”

  Wolf's chest heaved with anger. Under Venia's serious gaze, he didn't say anything more, but anyone could see his dissatisfaction.

  A venomous gaze shot over, full of extreme jealousy...

  Chen Yue coldly stared back at him. From this episode, it could be known that these so-called points should be very important. However, for Chen Yue at present, there were more important things.

  Indifferently withdrawing his gaze, Chen Yue took a step forward and said in a deep voice, “Lady Venia, I want to use that request.”

  “Are you sure?” Venia didn't hide her extreme surprise. “I think your understanding of the Apostle Association should be very limited at present. Aren't you afraid that the request you make is too... not worth it?”

  From this sentence, it could be heard that Venia was protecting Chen Yue. In the short contact, Chen Yue had left a good impression on her. Coupled with Chen Yue's potential, she couldn't help but be inclined towards him.

  Obviously, Venia was a powerful apostle. There were many things she could do. Making a request after fully understanding was the right way to maximize benefits.

  Of course, Chen Yue understood this, but he also had his own considerations.

  “I'm sure.”

  “Alright, go ahead.” Venia said helplessly.

  “I hope that Lady Venia can conduct the most suitable and comprehensive basic apostle training for me.”

  Venia's eyes suddenly lit up. She stared at Chen Yue without blinking. Finally, she nodded with great satisfaction. “Come to find me here tomorrow morning.”

  Chen Yue breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had thought carefully before making this choice. In his opinion, a request with a strong subjective nature was the most difficult to make.

  Indeed, he could have made a request to maximize benefits after having a deep understanding of the Apostle Association. However, in that case, perhaps in Venia's mind, his evaluation would be greatly reduced. Moreover, to fulfill that extremely difficult request, she would surely have to pay a huge price. To make matters worse, she might even become hostile towards him, which would be counterproductive.

  Basic training was different. Comprehensive basic knowledge was the most important thing for Chen Yue, who knew nothing about apostles. And the requirement he put forward for the most suitable and most comprehensive training determined that this requirement was not so easy to fulfill. And one point that couldn't be ignored was that from Wolf's address to Venia, it could be known that she had the identity of a mentor. His reasonable request would surely leave her with a good impression of being studious.

  With such a request, he could satisfy himself and also leave a good impression on Venia. Why not do it?

  From Venia's final performance, Chen Yue knew that he had achieved his goal.
