Genius Summoner

Chapter 344: International Competition (1)

Yun Feng held back the violent thought. She was here to negotiate, not to declare war. She would discuss with the old cunning fox and see what they could get from each other.

“Allow me to be frank. You must know the purpose of my visit, Your Majesty,” Yun Feng went straight to the topic. It would be a waste of time to beat around the bush with an emperor.

“Hehe. The news of Fantastical Beasts is truly alluring… Only the emperors of the four empires are aware of the news. It’s sort of a deal among us. I’m taking risks to tell you.”

Yun Feng smiled. “Your Majesty, you must know what the risks are, and since you already told me, you must be capable of bearing the risks.”

The emperor slightly narrowed his eyes. He was only talking to a kid, but why did she give him such a pressure that his gravitas as an emperor had been resolved? He had never seen anyone who could speak to him so equally except the other three emperors.

“Alright, people of the Yun family are truly straightforward. I can tell you the information, on one condition.”

Yun Feng raised her brows. This old cunning box was getting to the topic too. Great! “What’s your condition?”

“Hehe. The international contest of the four empires on the East Continent is about to begin. The individual ranking contest of the Masang School of Magic was canceled. You must be aware of that.” The emperor crossed his hands on his knee and behaved rather casually.

“The international contest has been brought forward. I don’t know what they’re up to, but it barely affects Karan. I don’t think you know about this international contest. It’s held among the four empires on the East Continent every five years. Each of the four empires hosts the contest in turns. It consists of two parts: warriors and mages. Naturally, summoners are classified as mages. Every empire will send five representatives in each domain, forming a team of ten, for the contest. The international contest is a game that all the four empires look forward to. They all want to become the champion.”

Yun Feng smiled, and didn’t comment. The emperor glanced at her and continued, “The top two countries will be qualified to explore a place of relics that’s known as the Relics of Gods. It’s said that the place contains countless treasures, weapons and unimaginable items.” The emperor sounded rather earnest and hopeful. It seemed that the Relics of Gods were quite special even for the emperor.

“As to why the relics weren’t discovered earlier, and other relevant stuff, I’m not very clear. All in all, it’s an agreement of the four empires. If any of them violates the agreement and explores it secretly, the other three empires will attack it together. You must earn the qualification of exploration through the international contest.”

“You want to win the qualification of exploration, Your Majesty? Did the Karan Empire never win the contest before?”

The emperor looked rather awkward. “Karan is not weak, but the other three empires all have their own geniuses. In every contest, the other three empires have been sending their trump cards and ultimate champions. Karan doesn’t have as many prodigies as they do, especially those which are considered exceptional.” The emperor glanced at Yun Feng and chuckled. “But it’ll be different this year. They can’t possibly expect your presence.”

Seeing the passion in the emperor’s eyes, Yun Feng already knew what he was up to. “Is your condition that I win the qualification of exploration in the contest?”

The emperor smiled. “The qualification of exploration? Not just that. You have to become the champion!”

Yun Feng slightly frowned. Why did she have to become the champion? The top two were already qualified to explore the relics. Why did the emperor want her to be the champion? Because of his pride? The emperor chuckled. “Yun Feng, that’s my condition. If you accept, you must become the champion. If you don’t, so be it. I won’t force you to do anything.”

Various thoughts rolled in Yun Feng’s heart. She thought that this fox was even more cunning than she thought. The Relics of Gods were obviously a place that everybody was greedy about, as evident from the emperor’s tone. Many marvelous items must’ve been hidden there. That was why the four empires had to set up an agreement to prevent each other from claiming all of them.

Yun Feng concluded that she would definitely find many useful things there. She had never heard about the relics before. The information about the place must’ve been blocked, or the independent cultivators would’ve explored it. The four empires had truly protected it well.

Claiming all the good stuff for themselves? How could it be so great? She would definitely be one of the representatives. By telling her about the Relics of Gods, the empire had shown his sincerity. Likely not all the representatives knew what was behind the international contest.

If she declined the offer after learning the secret, it would be another reason for the emperor to hate the Yun family. He would also prevent her from participating. She wouldn’t suffer any loss even if she accepted the request. She could become the champion, on her own conditions!

Yun Feng’s lips curled, which informed the emperor of her reply. “Your Majesty, it won’t be a problem for me to become the champion. But I’ll have to set a few more conditions.”

The emperor chuckled and patted the back of his hand with his finger. “Alright. What are your conditions? What do you want besides information on the Fantastical Beast?”

Yun Feng’s smile became bigger and bigger. She gazed at the emperor, with shrewdness hidden in her eyes. “I want three openings in the team that explores the relics.”

What Yun Feng said changed the emperor’s expression. She smiled and continued, “Naturally, the royal family will explore the relics on its own. I’m fully aware of that. Otherwise, the contest for the qualification of exploration wouldn’t have been given a fake name. I believe that you won’t mention anything about the relics to the representatives in the contest either.”
