The previous three department heads all hinted that if Li Pu could really overcome the attribute disadvantage, defeat Fu Erdai, and take the first place, they would reward him with some additional things.

The prize from Teacher Bai is a private tutoring session outside of class to teach him [Blink].

It's worth noting that course selection is already over. If freshmen want to learn other Summoner skills, they must wait until the next school year.

It's not that the school is worried about students biting off more than they can chew. Based on past experience, freshmen generally need only one semester to get a basic grasp of a Summoner skill, and after that, they need to practice diligently on their own; teachers won't play a significant role anymore.

The reason only one Summoner skill is arranged to be learned a year is due to the arrangement of the school curriculum.

There simply aren't enough teaching resources to teach one Summoner skill per semester.

Moreover, mastering too many Summoner skills during student years might not necessarily be a good thing.

[Blink] isn't particularly tempting for Li Pu, as he has already chosen Li Fan's [Sprint], which he feels is more suitable for him.

Even if he really wants to learn [Blink], he can wait until his second year.

As for Teacher Hong, the additional reward is straightforward.

It's an additional 10,000 on the original 50,000.

This reward made Li Pu a bit tempted.

60,000 Crystal Coins are not a small sum, at least not for him.

However, compared to 60,000 Crystal Coins, Lan Teacher's reward is more attractive.

A directional summoning card.

Directional summoning card doesn't mean summoning a specific species of summoning beast.

Rather, these cards will have some corresponding criteria.

Only summoning beasts that meet these criteria can be summoned.

This thing is precious if you say it's precious, and not so if you say it isn't.

In circles of experienced Summoners, directional summoning cards are quite common.

But for newbies like Li Pu, they aren't so easy to come by.

"I certainly won't break my promise."

Lan Feng wasn't a man of many words, so he appreciated Li Pu's straightforwardness.

With a deft motion of his wrist, he had already retrieved a box from the storage space.

When the box was opened, a gold card lay inside.

"Level 3 directional summoning card, with three criteria."

"This gold card is not the summoning card; the real summoning card is stored at the school's dedicated summoning point."

"When you need to perform a summoning, you can take this gold card to the school's summoning point to exchange for any Level 3 directional summoning card and have the staff guide you.

"Now, it is yours."

With these words, Lan Feng handed the gold card to Li Pu.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Li Pu accepted it with both hands, carefully placing it into his storage space.

Though he was far from ready for a second summoning beast, it felt reassuring to be prepared early.

The Summoner's contract with a summoning beast is restricted by factors such as Spiritual Power, so it's not possible to make infinite contracts.

In the normal course, a beginner Summoner needs to cultivate the first summoning beast to the first transformation before the feedback Spiritual Power is sufficient for contracting a second summoning beast.

The condition for the first transformation is reaching the maximum level of the zero transformation, which is LV30.

The current level of the strawman is only LV10, and it's still a long way off.

The subsequent levels will become increasingly difficult to upgrade; it won't be just a matter of two or three weeks to gain ten levels anymore, it might take three or four weeks.

"Do your best. If you have any particularly outstanding performance afterward,"

"You might even receive a reward from the school, with a chance to upgrade this Level 3 directional card to a higher level."

Lan Feng encouraged Li Pu, then took out the previous list again.

He hadn't forgotten that this directional summoning card was just a bonus.

The real reward was the B-level cultivation materials.

B-level cultivation materials, although bearing a B-level name, don't necessarily have high value.

If you are referencing magical beasts for example, then B-level materials are things obtained from B-level magical beasts.

This concept can be either broad or narrow.

For example, the complete body of a B-level magical beast would naturally hold a lot of value.

But something like a part from a B-level magical beast would also count as B-level material, and it surely wouldn't be as valuable as the whole.

That's why Teacher Bai offered a D+ level skill light orb, while Lan Feng offered the B-level cultivation materials.

The reasoning behind it is an issue of equivalence.

Yet Lan Feng hadn't anticipated that what Li Pu truly valued was precisely this detail.

Because for him, B-level materials could possibly equal B-level skills.

It all depends on the actual situation.

Such as whether there's enough quantity of related objects, how much the Crystal Coin expenses are, etc.

"Teacher, may I see the actual items?"

So after receiving the list, he just placed it on the table.

"Of course you can."

Lan Feng nodded and then walked to a spacious open area in the room.

Given that he's a newbie Summoner, curious about advanced cultivation materials and wanting to touch them, Lan Feng could understand.

Fortunately, these materials aren't too large in size.

A minute later, Lan Feng had neatly arranged them all.

Judging from their arrangement, he seemed to have a bit of an obsession with order.

"Feel free to look."

So he beckoned Li Pu to come over.

Li Pu walked closer and began checking from right to left.

The order of placement was the same as on the list.

The first item was a purple crystal in a droplet shape, about the size of a watermelon.

As soon as he touched it, he knew it wasn't possible.

Because the prompt for related objects didn't pop up.

But to put on a bit of show, Li Pu still tried to pick it up.

Only to find the crystal was incredibly heavy, so much so that he couldn't lift it with both hands.

"[Yan Realm Soul Stone Crystals], a specialty from Yan Realm-type space rifts."

"Places where they're found often have strong magical beasts guarding them."

"Acquisition difficulty is B-level, suitable for cultivating nether-type summoning beasts."

"If your strawman plans to develop in this direction, you can choose it."

When it came to cultivation materials, Lan Feng had more to say.

"After using this material, the strawman should find it easier to transform into an Underworld Envoy, Fear Grass, Soul-Grabbing Grass, or the like."

"As for the specific way to develop in that direction, you can later ask your homeroom teacher, Teacher Guan."

He recognized his expertise was focused and didn't dare claim his research on plant-type transformations was necessarily better than Guan Heshi's.

"Oh?"

Li Pu was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

The first surprise was from the three strawman transformation paths Lan Feng mentioned, none of which he had heard of before.

The second was about the tone suggesting that the homeroom teacher he chose wasn't entirely without merit.

But these weren't issues to consider at the moment; first, he needed to browse through the remaining materials.
