Chapter 33.1: Summoner Mage Mao Mao

Nian Bing had read in the Mage Association’s collection that summoning magic was known as  the continent’s most mysterious magic; it was even more cryptic than dark magic. Very few people could meet the strange requirements to cultivate summoning magic. The basic requirement was to be an innate null person. A null person is someone born with a body that does not have a specific attribute. Dual elements, admittedly, were rare, but there were around two for every thousand people. But for null people, who don’t have any attributes, their chances were about one in ten thousand.

According to the records, when people from thousands of years ago attained higher levels of magic then they did now, mages were the highest ranking profession. Humans would cultivate a particular magic according to their body’s attribute. A null person at that time would be scorned as a piece of trash. At that time, there were extremely few null people. There was a man who chose to kill himself because he could not bear the pressure from the outside world; but when he was in the process of committing suicide, he discovered something strange. No one knew what exactly had happened, but several years later, the first summoning mage appeared on the continent.

Although null people couldn’t cultivate a system of magic because they had no attribute, they possessed an inherently high amount of spiritual power. Summoning magic utilized spiritual power to summon any kind of beast that they’ve established a contract with. These creatures, from the small birds and beasts to the large dragons, could become the companion of a summoner. The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the creature that can be summoned. These contracted beasts could be used to battle for the summoner. But while a high spiritual power was essential to become a summoner, luck was also extremely important. Because of these strict requirements, if one couldn’t become a summoning mage with their talent, they wouldn’t even be able to cultivate martial arts. Additionally, how could making contracts with strong creatures be easy? In order to become a stronger summoning mage, these null people had to develop a special magic suited for them. That magic relied on their strong spiritual power cultivation. For ordinary people, this was almost impossible. For them, however, it was not difficult.

At an unknown time, the legendary summoning mages had disappeared from the world stage because of the dwindling number of null people. According to legend, the strongest summoning mage was a dragon summoner, but he had also fallen in the end. Nian Bing did not think that he would encounter a summoning mage before he had even left Ice and Snow City. Although she had only summoned a milk cow, the fact that she summoned anything was indisputable. Nian Bing’s spiritual power couldn’t help but pulse fiercely with this revelation.

“Moo.” The cow raised its head in alarm and looked in Nian Bing’s direction. The girl followed the cow’s gaze to him. At this moment, Nian Bing clearly saw her appearance. Her skin was as fair as sheep-fat white jade. In her pretty face, her large eyes were black as her hair. Those innately large eyes that made people want to protect her blinked as her exquisite red lips pressed together in surprise. “Who’s there?”

Nian Bing came out of the shadows and said with embarrassment, “Hello, little sister.”

The girl stuck out her tongue. “Gross, you’re not allowed to call me little sister. I will be sixteen in the eleventh month. What are you doing here? Could it be that you were trying to follow me? No wonder Daddy said that the people from the outside world were all bad. Why are you following me?”

Nian Bing hastily shook his head. “No, you are mistaken. I am not following you. I was coincidentally passing here when I felt magic undulations and went to take a look. Little sis, no, young miss, are you a summoner?”

The girl was blank and then said, “You saw me? Daddy said that whoever knows about us must die.”

Nian Bing was frightened. He said, “What? Why is that?”
