Chapter 3 - A Panda Bearing Fate and Infinite Potential!
The crowd below was equally stunned.
“Look! Lin Daotian actually summoned a living creature!”
“Black and white, fluffy, and so round! It looks so cute, so adorable!”
“Yeah, it’s full of cuteness from head to toe. It’s melting my heart!”
“I really want to pet it!”
…
It had to be said, even across worlds, pandas still managed to capture everyone’s hearts with unbelievable speed.
Seeing everyone so taken with Lin Daotian’s summoned creature, Zhang Kuang was extremely displeased. Crossing his arms, he scoffed, “Cute? What’s cute about it? Did you all not notice that when this little guy appeared, there wasn’t a single beam of light? That means it’s just an ordinary pet. As a summoned creature, it’s a complete failure, with no value at all!”
Everyone froze, thinking carefully and realizing that Zhang Kuang had a point.
When other summoned creatures appeared, they had some form of glow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, black, or white. The more light, the greater the potential.
However, when this little creature appeared, it was completely plain, without any light. It couldn’t have been more ordinary.
By conventional standards, this summoned creature had no value.
“What a shame!”
Everyone’s hearts filled with pity.
Only Leng Qingyue observed coldly, her heart full of disdain.
A shame?
A shame for what?
What do you guys know!
This is a panda!
A one-of-a-kind, luck-bearing panda!
It’s the embodiment of fortune, a representative of the heavens. Having it is like becoming the favored child of the world—troubles will turn into blessings, misfortune will be averted, treasures can be found while walking down the street, and breakthroughs will happen even in sleep.
In his past life, Lin Daotian rose rapidly because of this panda!
Owning this panda meant infinite possibilities!
The reason there was no light was that the panda’s level far exceeded the summoning platform’s capacity—it couldn’t even detect it.
If given the choice, she would trade all her fortunes to obtain this panda.
Leng Qingyue stood slightly on her tiptoes, gazing at the sleeping panda on the stage, feeling an irresistible urge.
Seeing this adorable creature again—it was still just as cute!
In her past life, she never got the chance to pet it. Would she have the chance in this life?
At that moment, Lin Daotian looked at the panda in his arms, feeling a bit conflicted.
To be honest, he was ecstatic about summoning a panda.
After all, in his previous life, he was a huge panda fan. It was his dream to own one.
But this was a world invaded by demons and monsters.
This panda, while adorable and filled with charm, seemed to have no combat power. How was it supposed to help him become stronger?
Unwilling to accept defeat, Lin Daotian activated his cheat ability to take a closer look.
“Huh?”
Summon: Panda
Grade: Ordinary Tier 1
Potential: Infinite
Traits: Carries the luck of Earthlings, can only be owned by an Earthling, invincible luck
Skill: A Bit of Luck (Passive Skill)
Evolution: Bronze-tier Panda (All it needs is to eat, drink, and have fun)
…
Lin Daotian was surprised to discover that this panda was far from ordinary.
In terms of potential, it was labeled as “infinite.”
He’d seen various summoned items, with the highest grade being nine-colored, but never had he seen one described as “infinite.”
This meant that the panda’s potential far exceeded nine-colored entities and could evolve infinitely.
As for its special trait, being able to carry fortune made it incredibly powerful. After all, anything that could bear luck was extraordinary.
As for the other details, there wasn’t much to say.
In short, this was a “don’t judge a book by its cover” kind of summoned creature. Anyone who underestimated it would surely suffer great misfortune.
“Ahem… Student Lin, this summoned creature of yours is quite unusual. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I believe everyone is very curious—could you give us a brief introduction?” the teacher asked with a hint of curiosity.
“Sure!”
Lin Daotian held the panda and smiled at the eagerly awaiting crowd. “The summoned creature in my arms is called a panda. As you can see, it’s very cute and cuddly! Its potential is practically non-existent, and its combat power is exactly zero!”
“I see.”
The teacher was disappointed, and so was the audience.
As expected, it was just an ordinary little pet, with no potential and no combat power. This summoning was a complete failure.
Only Leng Qingyue sneered inwardly.
Pretending!
Keep pretending!
I don’t believe that you, the future special professor and honorary principal of the Divine Martial University, can’t see the true power of this little creature!
In the previous life, you fooled everyone the same way!
By the time the panda’s secret was revealed, you had already soared to unprecedented heights, unstoppable!
“Alright, Student Lin, you can step down now.”
“Yes, teacher!”
Lin Daotian carefully stepped down from the summoning platform with the panda in his arms.
Along the way, he met many classmates who smiled and nodded, without showing him any disrespect.
Over the years, Lin Daotian had never used his status to pressure others. Instead, he got along well with his teachers and classmates, always willing to help whenever someone was in trouble. As a result, he had a good reputation and was well-liked.
Besides, even if his summoned creature wasn’t anything special, he was still the son of the richest man. His status was far above everyone else’s, and in the future, he would still be a person of great influence. Who had the right to look down on him?
At that moment, a few more young people took the stage.
Some successfully summoned what they desired, while others left disappointed.
And with that, the summoning ceremony came to an end.
The principal ascended the stage, his voice filled with excitement. “The summoning ceremony is now over! Out of 1,521 students, a total of 1,274 have summoned entities of at least one color! 244 students have summoned entities of at least four colors! Five students have summoned entities of seven colors or more—an outstanding achievement!”
“Among them, Liu Sheng, An Ran, and Wang Chao summoned seven-colored entities! Zhang Kuang summoned an eight-colored Vajra Hammer! And Leng Qingyue made history by summoning a nine-colored divine sword, Solitary Moon!”
“They have brought great honor to our school. Let’s give them a round of applause!”
Clap, clap, clap… Applause filled the room.
Those whose names were called all stood tall, brimming with pride.
“However, everyone should neither become arrogant nor disheartened! Because this is only the beginning!”
The principal’s tone grew serious. “In one month, the entrance exams will be held. Representatives from various universities will be coming to evaluate you! Only those who perform exceptionally well will be accepted into these prestigious institutions! So, in this short month, work hard to improve yourselves and aim for your desired universities!”
The students’ expressions grew determined. “Yes, Principal!”
The principal waved his hand. “Dismissed. Go prepare yourselves!”
Everyone gradually dispersed.
The school belle, Leng Qingyue, gave Lin Daotian a deep look, gripped her sword, and turned to leave.
Zhang Kuang once again approached Lin Daotian, glanced at the panda in his arms, and shook his head with a smirk. “We’ll meet again at the college entrance exams. But… I doubt you have much hope!”
Lin Daotian glanced away and said nothing, too lazy to argue.
Seeing that Lin wasn’t responding, Zhang Kuang lost interest. But there was still one thing bothering him.
“What’s going on between you and Leng Qingyue? Why did she come to you specifically and wish you good luck?”
Lin Daotian pointed into the distance. “You see that dog over there?”
Zhang Kuang nodded. “I see it, so what?”
“It’s eating poop!”
“What does it eating poop have to do with us?”
“Then what does my relationship with Leng Qingyue have to do with you? Do I need to explain it to you?”
Zhang Kuang: “…”
“I’m out of here. I don’t have time to deal with a licking dog like you.”
Lin Daotian walked away, leaving Zhang Kuang fuming.
At that moment, the panda in his arms began to stir, stretching out its little arms and yawning. It blinked its drowsy eyes, curiously gazing at the expectant Lin Daotian.
A small sign hung over its paw: So… you’re my human pet now?
