Chapter Two: Waste Paired with Waste

Su Yunqing’s eyes held only a cold light, but she was unwilling to miss this chance because she had to enter Fengqi Academy!

In her previous life, right after the summoning ceremony ended, she was hunted down. Although she narrowly escaped, she was disfigured, her legs severed, left barely alive and clinging to life.

Then came Xiao Jinghuai’s cancellation of their engagement. Su Yunqi shone even more brilliantly, while she endured constant torment, suffering under the hands of the celebrated prodigy, Su Yunqi.

Day after day, she felt the excruciating pain as if her flesh was being torn away, and was thrown into a bath tub filled with chili water to soak all night, her battered body stinging unbearably. She was forced to eat the foul food that fell to the ground, humiliated beyond measure.

Her wounds worsened continuously; she could not survive even a year. But within that short year, she endured every torment and pain she had never known before. Only upon death did she learn that the one who had hunted her on the summoning day was Xiao Jinghuai! She died full of hatred and unwillingness, her resentment deep as the abyss. Yet, unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back on the day of the summoning.

In her past life, she had left immediately without successfully summoning. This time, she wanted to try harder. As long as she could summon, she could enter Fengqi Academy and change her fate!

Here, at the southernmost edge of Linjiang Continent, the Moonlight Kingdom was a nation of beast tamers. Beast taming was primary, cultivation secondary. Usually, when one reached fifteen or sixteen, it was time to summon, as both cultivation and mental fortitude could suppress the summoned spirit beast, preventing backlash. This was also the peak period for the academy to recruit new students, and to grow stronger, she had to seize this only chance.

Perhaps it was the depth of her past resentment or some other reason, but suddenly she sensed the formation beneath her feet flicker with light.

Before she could inspect it, a disciple standing beside Lu Yuanliang approached, trying to pull her out. “Come out quickly!”

The crowd looked at her with impatience. “Exactly, you’re a useless waste; don’t hold everyone back!”

Su Yunqing’s eyes darkened. Before she could speak, the surface of the lake stirred. The disciple who intended to pull her out stopped, noticing this and immediately changed his tone. “Wang Xu, wait a moment.”

Wang Xu, standing nearby, also noticed the lake’s disturbance and understood his master’s meaning, stepping back promptly.

Su Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, then fixed her gaze on the lake. A whirlpool quickly formed.

No one had expected this. After all, she couldn’t even draw in Qi into her body, so how could she summon a spirit beast?

She paid no heed to others, staring unblinkingly at the whirlpool. Soon, two beams of light shot out from it.
