Chapter 7: All Attributes at 99? Is This What They Call Mythic?

Summoned Spirit: Divine Lü Bu
Level: 1
Quality: Mythical
Strength: 99
Constitution: 99
Agility: 99
Spirit: 99
Equipment: [Divine Sky Piercer Halberd (Sealed)], [Divine Red Hare Horse (Sealed)]
Status: [Sealed: Restricted by the summoner’s power, Lü Bu has yet to reveal his full might. Until his strength is fully released, his level will rise in tandem with the summoner’s level.]
Talents:
[Peerless: Lü Bu’s combat prowess is unmatched, growing braver with every battle! Once engaged in combat, all attributes increase continually by 1% per second, up to a maximum of 100%!]
[Reckless: Lü Bu enters a berserk state, instantly boosting all attributes by 500%! Lasts ten minutes. Afterwards, he enters a weakened state for half an hour, with all attributes reduced by 20%. Cooldown: half an hour.]
[Sacrificial Strike: Lü Bu abandons all defense, pouring every ounce of his strength into his hands for a thunderous blow!]
[Divine Might: Having received the seed of divinity, any being below Lü Bu’s level will have their attributes reduced by fear when facing him. The reduction varies with level gap and distance, up to a maximum of 50%.]
Appraisal: Where one general stands, thousands flee; taking the enemy’s treasure is but a trifling matter!

It was startling to see; the details sent a chill down the spine.
Song Qi remained calm—after all, he’d always known Lü Bu’s quality wouldn’t be low.
He’d expected an epic-level summoned spirit at first.
Though the final result surpassed his expectations by one tier, it wasn’t enough to shock him greatly.
But Principal Shen was a different story; he could no longer sit still.
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
“A mythical summoned spirit?!”
The scene before him threatened to shatter his worldview.
Equipped by default? Well, that was understandable for a mythical spirit.
But these four heaven-defying skills—what on earth were they?!
Take the berserk skill for example. For ordinary berserkers, even at the highest level, ‘Berserk’ only adds 100% to attributes, and only to strength and constitution.
It lasts just one minute.
When the effect ends, they fall into a lengthy paralysis, unable to fight for a while.
But Lü Bu? He gets a 500% boost to all attributes—instantly?!
For ten minutes?!
And afterwards, all attributes only drop by 20%?!
He calls this a weakened state?
Even after a night at the succubus bar, I’d feel more drained than this.
And what’s with this [Peerless] talent?
All attributes increase by 1% every second?
So, if the fight lasts a minute and a half, the enemy faces you at double attributes?
And all your base stats are 99 to start with?!
Brother, have you checked your level?
You’re only level one.
At level one, your starting attributes are all 99?

Ordinary professionals at level one would be considered excellent if any attribute broke into double digits.
Yet you’re almost breaking a hundred in every stat?
How could anyone fight against this?
How could others hope to survive?
And this Divine Might skill—
It can reduce an enemy’s attributes by up to 50%?
If their level is already lower than yours, now their stats are halved again.
Mass tactics would fail utterly against him.
His attributes are high, his bonuses outrageous.
He even comes with aura skills that weaken enemies.
If this summoned spirit’s level increases, he’ll mow down demon armies like grass in the future.
Against crowds, Divine Might.
Against a single foe, Berserk.
For explosive power, Reckless.
For endurance, Peerless.
A perfect war machine!

“So this is a mythical summoned spirit…”
Shen Huiwu was utterly shaken.
“Mythical summoned spirits truly exist?”
“I always thought they were just creatures made up by summoners.”
Principal Shen felt a wave of dizziness.
He pinched his thigh hard.
Once he was sure he wasn’t dreaming, he finally regained his composure.
He turned to Song Qi, his gaze burning with intense emotion.
Song Qi felt goosebumps rise all over his body under that stare.

“Hey! Brute, mind your manners before my lord!”
Lü Bu took a step forward, blocking Song Qi, his Sky Piercer Halberd pointing at Principal Shen.
Seeing this, Principal Shen wasn’t angry—instead, he applauded.
“Excellent, excellent! Not only is the potential outstanding, but the intelligence is remarkable too; he can even read the room?”
“No wonder he’s a mythical summoned spirit!”
“With just this mythical spirit, even if you only ever summon slimes from now on, Song Qi, your resources are guaranteed!”
“You’ll definitely pass the city lord’s evaluation.”
“However, the city lord went outside right after his speech. You may have to wait a few days.”
“Well, I’ve seen what I needed to. I’ll go report your information right away.”
“Thank you, Principal.”
Song Qi replied with a smile.

After a moment’s thought, Principal Shen grew solemn.
“Also, you best not share information about your summoned spirit with others.”
“Within our race… things are not as united as they seem.”
“You’re too weak right now—if you’re targeted, the demons from outside might spend heavily to curse you to death!”
“Of course, don’t worry too much. As long as you stay inside the city, you should be safe.”

With that, Principal Shen hurried out, clearly eager to report Song Qi’s information.
“Is the Principal warning me about human traitors?”
Song Qi pondered.
In a life-or-death struggle between races, there are still those willing to be slaves and spies for outsiders?
What could their motives possibly be?
“I don’t get it, but it’s not something I need to worry about now.”
“Also, the Principal didn’t seem to react to Lü Bu’s two divine equipment or the status description.”
“Did he not notice? Or perhaps he can’t see it?”
“Are there some details only I can see?”
After thinking it over, Song Qi had no answer, so he set the matter aside for now.
He stored Lü Bu in the summoning space, then took out the welfare list from his storage ring, examining it repeatedly.
His heart was full of joy and satisfaction.

“Tsk, tsk, the treatment geniuses receive from humanity is truly exceptional—a house worth hundreds of millions is gifted without a second thought. They really spare no expense.”
“No need to rush picking a house; I’ll discuss it with my parents first and surprise them.”
“As for the mount… I can choose a combat mount? Perhaps I’ll give it to my sister.”
“I, as a summoner, don’t really need it, and using it for travel feels a bit extravagant.”
“Only one chance to claim equipment; I’ll hold onto it for myself. When my level increases, I’ll get my sister a set of premium gear…”
“And then…”

Song Qi took out the triple experience card and examined it.
“The time now is… eleven thirty at noon, still early. No one should be home yet.”
Song Qi’s parents worked in a factory; even without overtime, they wouldn’t be home before five thirty.
“I still have that triple experience card unused.”
“No rush to go home; I’ll test Lü Bu’s power in the dungeon first and level up.”

Gurgle~~

The moment Song Qi took a step, his stomach protested.
He suddenly remembered that, due to the job change ceremony, he hadn’t even eaten breakfast today.
Looking back, he saw plenty of vendors near the Professional Hall.
The delicious aromas wafted over, making Song Qi’s mouth water.

“I’ll eat first, then head to the dungeon.”
“Also, I wonder when the system will grant me another quest.”
“Without quests, I can’t keep drawing prizes.”
Lost in thought, Song Qi pulled out his phone, preparing to buy a pork knuckle rice meal.

Though the satellites that once covered the world and sky were gone,
thanks to extraordinary power, humanity’s world, though its standard of living had declined on the surface,
had not suffered much in terms of technological advancement.
Phones, computers, and other electronics still worked just fine.
