In the past six months, Shangguan Mo had basically mastered chakra molding and successfully produced his own. He had also caught up with the third-year curriculum in shurikenjutsu, which amazed his teachers. They thought he was a child with exceptional ninja talent. But it was only because he was diligent, training for more than 12 hours a day.
With the production of chakra, his synthesis system had unlocked his personal panel.
[Host: Shangguan Mo]
Race: Human
Summoning Beast: Earth Dragon Beast (E)
Life Points: 200
Chakra: 98
This incredibly brief profile was almost useless, except for giving him a visual representation of his chakra training progress. While the teacher was lecturing animatedly, Shangguan Mo was only half-listening, staring blankly into space. In reality, he was looking at his status panel.
"Phew... after training hard late into the night, I've finally saved up 98 chakra points. If I work hard again after school today, getting to 100 should be no problem. Based on my experience synthesizing the Earth Dragon Beast, white-quality summons should all require 100 chakra..."
"The Earth Dragon Beast's main ability is burrowing. It's not really a combat-type summon, more of a support type. But the ninja world is full of dangers. I should synthesize a combat-type next. But... what materials and animals should I find for that...?"
He felt a headache coming on. His last synthesis was a complete accident. He had no real experience and needed to figure it out.
Even during the ten-minute break, he remained silent. His social circle was average at best, which was related to his quiet nature. For these little kids, whose mental age was less than half of his, he had no desire to interact. And for them, Shangguan Mo was an older transfer student who was a head taller than them. While they didn't exclude him, they generally wouldn't approach him unless necessary. The only one he was close to was Li, who sat next to him and was also an orphan.
The day passed quickly. For the first time, Shangguan Mo eagerly rushed home, not even stopping to eat. He closed his door and immediately began to mold chakra.
Late at night.
The entire village was silent. Shangguan Mo quietly slipped out of his house and headed to a remote forest. Even the chirping of insects had mostly died down. "The final rank of the summon is related to the material quality and the creature's rank. And the success rate mostly depends on the compatibility between the material and the creature," he recalled, trying to extract useful information from the few system prompts he had seen.
"With my current chakra level, I can probably only try to synthesize the lowest-rank summons. Anything higher than an E-Rank creature or a white-quality material is beyond my reach right now."
He racked his brain. "To synthesize a combat-type summon, my choices are limited. The most suitable materials would be common things like steel or iron. As for the creature... I should experiment a bit..."
Taking out two pieces of iron he had prepared, he began to search the forest. There were nocturnal animals like mice, bats, and cockroaches around. These omnivorous or carnivorous creatures were his best targets.
[Iron] + [Mouse] = ???[Compatibility] 30%[Material: Iron, Quality (White)][Creature: Mouse, Rank (E)][Synthesis Success Rate] 50%[Chakra Required] 100[Synthesize?]
He shook his head. The success rate was too low. He didn't want to risk it. He lifted his foot and kicked the mouse he had trapped under it. Under the moonlight, the spinning mouse had a look of pure confusion in its eyes. "You chased me all over the forest just to kick me? Fine, have it your way!"
Shangguan Mo ignored the resentful mouse and looked for his next target.
[Iron] + [Bat] = ???[Compatibility] 10%[Success Success Rate] 30%
He didn't even hesitate, immediately releasing the struggling bat from his net.
"Damn it! This is driving me crazy! Maybe I shouldn't be so fixated on a combat-type. Maybe I should consider the compatibility more... who knows, I might get an unexpected result," he muttered to himself. All the nocturnal creatures he could find had very low compatibility with iron. He didn't want to waste his hard-earned chakra.
Just as he was about to give up, his eyes lit up. He slapped his forehead. "A hedgehog! A hedgehog! A hedgehog would definitely have high compatibility with iron! I'm such an idiot. I can just have the Earth Dragon Beast catch animals for me!"
He immediately began to call for his summoning beast.
