Summoner Unlock

Although this sea lion dragon’s level wasn’t low, directly leveling up twice still surprised Black.

Future levels probably wouldn’t be so easy to gain. After leveling up, he clearly felt his controllable spirit energy increase. Perception improved—physical strength enhanced too. This feeling of leveling up was truly wondrous—like working out in a gym for a whole year.

Black clenched his fist—feeling the enhanced strength.

Then he shifted attention to Overlord Spear.

Truly a 6-star weapon—the penetration power was impressive. Black used the spear’s dragon blood—muttered admiration. With ordinary weapons—his Level 10 strength probably couldn’t penetrate a sea lion dragon’s defense.

Unfortunately—he wasn’t a Knight class—couldn’t learn Knight skills—otherwise Overlord Spear’s power would definitely increase.

Just as he thought this—the system panel suddenly popped up again:
[Player used one piercing attack]
[Knight class unlock progress +1]
[Player shattered one Dragon Pearl]
[Summoner class unlock progress +1]

This?!

Unexpectedly—he’d unintentionally triggered unlock conditions for both Knight and Summoner classes.

Unlocking two classes at once—truly excessive. Black pondered—analyzing the information.

Ah—he understood. Using a long spear weapon to thrust once—increased unlock progress by one point. This unlock condition was similar to Swordsmanship. As long as he grinded more—unlocking Knight class was just a matter of time.

As for Summoner’s unlock condition—

Black found it hard to understand.

Shattering one Dragon Pearl increased unlock progress by one point.

This condition was overly harsh—compared to Swordsmanship, Knight—much harder.

So-called Dragon Pearls were energy cores dragons condensed within their bodies.

Similar to “dantians” in fantasy novels. Dragon Pearls were usually located in the dragon’s skull—once shattered—the dragon would definitely die. Dragon Pearls themselves were also precious materials—one of the essential alchemy ingredients for high-tier alchemy. Many humans wanting complete Dragon Pearls—when killing dragons—usually cut off the entire head—then dig out the pearl later. Shattering 100 Dragon Pearls equaled killing 100 dragons.

Normally—Black would definitely curse several times—where could he find 100 dragons? Let alone kill them all.

But if now—Black actually felt this condition wasn’t difficult.

The reason was simple. Under Sea Dragon Tide—dragon numbers were countless.

In mere moments—dragon corpses on deck had piled into mountains. Large and small combined—hundreds strong. And still increasing. Coincidentally—most people were bloodthirsty—no way they’d bother digging Dragon Pearls. These Dragon Pearls weren’t high level—they didn’t care much. So—now shattering Dragon Pearls wasn’t difficult. Could even use Overlord Spear for piercing attacks. Unlocking two classes at once—how wonderful?

Thinking this—Black’s eyes sharpened—took Goldie—and began insane corpse-stripping!

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In unnoticed corners—Black swung his spear—spear like a dragon.

One Dragon Pearl after another shattered under his spear.

Occasionally encountered many barely alive—not yet dead sea dragons—he naturally delivered fierce finishing blows. Thus gained much experience—level constantly rising.

During this process—also encountered very dangerous situations—faced a Level 35 sea lion dragon. But with Emperor Winged Dragon present—just dragon aura was enough to make these sea lions suffer.

Black only needed to harvest. This made him glad he tamed Emperor Winged Dragon back then. Otherwise—with his such low level—he’d only be chased around by sea lions.

Thus—when Black’s clothes were stained red with dragon blood—Summoner class finally unlocked.

[Summoner class unlock progress: 10000/10000] [Progress full—Summoner class officially unlocked]

Meanwhile—Knight’s unlock progress reached 300/10000. [Level Up: Lv.12→Lv.17]

His level also rose five levels. After all operations—gains were abundant—though mostly looting corpses.

Wiping blood from his face—Black opened the [Class] panel—indeed saw [Summoner] appear.

Clicking [Summoner]—a string of skills appeared below. Besides basic spells—the two most important exclusive skills for Novice Summoners 【Soul Bind】and【Summon】were clearly visible!

As mentioned before—Summoners wanted to summon beasts—first needed to kill wild beasts—then capture their souls—for their own use. This spell for capturing beast souls was called Soul Bind. As for Summon—need not say more. Last Azure Martial Duel—Liz used Summon to summon Flame Cat.

Interesting. Black rarely smiled—for Summoner class he’d long anticipated. Didn’t expect to unlock so fast—later returning to fishing village might try. Now impossible anyway—can’t go find beasts in the sea?

Just as Black planned to close the panel—he suddenly froze. Unbelievably wiped his eyes—stunned by what he saw.

Only—above the dead sea lions—floated pale blue light.

Those lights’ shapes—like miniaturized sea lions.

Could this be?! This familiar scene reminded Black of some game settings.

In games—after Summoners killed beasts—corpses of beasts whose souls could be captured would emit this blue light.

Uncapturable ones—no reaction. After unlocking Summoner class—these blue lights appeared.

What did this mean—Black inevitably got excited. Dragons differed from beasts—defiant—self-centered—capture difficulty extremely high! Among Summoners—only those with exceptional talent could succeed. Now Black could actually see sea lion dragons’ souls. This meant he absolutely had chances of successful capture!

Without hesitation—Black immediately cast 【Soul Bind】! Spirit energy instantly transformed into magic energy—his palm suddenly lit with deep blue runes.

Rung upon rung—like chains binding his fingertips!

Black aimed at one Level 20 sea lion dragon’s soul

Buzz!

A strange tremor came through air—sea lion dragon’s blue soul forcibly bound by runes. Miniature sea lion began violently struggling—silent roars—trying to tear apart runes.
