Chapter 96: Entering the Competition

Chapter 299: Entering the Competition 1
"The Association headquarters? But I'm not there right now."
When Jingyang made the phone call, Mengqi's response was unexpected.
He looked at him strangely and said, "Didn't Nitro ask you to be an examiner? The exam is coming soon, why are you still running around?"

"So, where are you busy right now? Let me see if the testing location is far from here."
Jingyang waved her hand to get Xiaodi's attention. While the hunter was signing up for the testing, Jingyang immediately faxed a printed notice, stating the date and location of the testing.
"Me? I took on a job cooking for important and wealthy people! It's busy and annoying..."
On the other end of the call, Men Qi was sitting sideways on the windowsill, taking a break and enjoying the breeze. Outside the window, there were white clouds and blue sky, while hundreds of meters below were tall buildings, giving a sense of falling with just one glance. Reply: That sounds like quite a challenging job, but the view from your window must be amazing! Stay safe and take breaks whenever you can.
This restaurant is not far from the location where the hunter tested. However, it is much farther away compared to Wuzhuangguan with Jingyang.
"That's hard to say," Jingyang replied on the phone with a laugh.
Mengqi didn't understand, Jinyang said, "Do you have a kitchen knife with you? Just make a small cut on your body, and I will take care of the rest."
Since the word "operation" was mentioned, Mengqi naturally understood what it meant.
However, even if Jingyang can activate the star mark he carries on his body, what can he really do from thousands of miles away?

Just as Meng Qi suspected that Jing Yang healed too quickly to react, the reaction finally came.
She suddenly lost control of her body.
Jing Yang took over.
"Jing Meng Qi" blinked, adjusted to the switch in perspective, and smiled slightly. Using the blood droplets left on the palm, she drew a circle, creating a pattern resembling a flaming sun ring.
With both palms pressed together, I harness my mental energy, forming a sun-shaped symbol in the center of my hands.
"Jingmen Qi" infuses qi into the sun-shaped symbol in my palms and says, "Kulapika."
Instantly, the qi rapidly fills the symbol, resulting in a corresponding transformation. A burst of mental energy emerges, forming an outline of a humanoid figure out of thin air. Gradually, the figure solidifies, revealing the physical form of a gold-haired Kuruta tribe youth.
The spiritual summoning is complete, and a surge of over 20,000 qi is emitted in one breath. Door Qi's forehead is covered in a layer of cold sweat as she leans against the window frame, almost falling from the several hundred meter high building.
Jing Yang releases the possession, and before leaving, it seems like she is muttering in her consciousness, wondering why Door Qi is so weak. Even summoning someone with the lowest level of cultivation in their realm would make them so exhausted, which irritates Door Qi to the core.
Spitting out a breath, Men Qi glanced at the date mark left in the palm of her hand.
With personal experience, Men Qi had gained some understanding of how to use this thing, so she looked to the side.
Cool Pikachu, summoned out of thin air, is facing off with Marquis at the entrance.

Machi quietly entered the room, closed the door behind her, and leaned against the wall with her arms folded, coldly looking at Kula Pika.
"You rest for a while first," Kula Pika said to Door Qi.
If they immediately join forces with Mengqi to continue their spiritual communication, both of their spiritual energy will be depleted. With Machi, a former Phantom Troupe member, by their side, Kurapika wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
Men Qi nodded, but she didn't just wait. Instead, she took out homemade cookies from her pocket. With two fingers, she sprinkled the green seasoning dots all over the cookies. Men Qi quickly ate the cookies in just a few bites, and her complexion visibly improved.
With the addition of her own personalized response, Meng Qi's reply is like a spice that enhances the flavor. She replies swiftly and energetically, as if she has a built-in auto-reply system. In less than half an hour, she is already done, full of energy and enthusiasm.
Coola Pikachu pressed his hand on Menqi's shoulder, activating his own Nen ability: "Little drop."
Menqi was surprised to find that the breath spewing out from Coola Pikachu's palm also had her involvement... This summoning-type Nen ability developed by Jingyang could actually collaborate and summon together.
Under the group download, the girl with black hair and purple eyes wearing glasses appeared out of thin air.
Her sudden transformation caught the attention of even the indifferent Marcy, who raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Due to Koolapika's slow response, Monkiq realized he probably didn't have a star badge with him. So, she went around the lounge, searching high and low, and surprisingly found a bunch of snacks. She then sprinkled a green seasoning over them and handed it all to Koolapika.
Once bitten, twice shy, Men Qi now understands that the consumption of this summoning-type Nen ability by Jingyang is actually on par with the total Nen capacity of the summoned target.
Jingyang's foresight is not easily estimated by Menqi. But she insisted on taking matters into her own hands, along with Xiaodi and Kula Pikachu, in order to withstand the pressure. As expected, when Xiaodi mentioned Jingyang's name and the three of them joined forces, the tension dissipated like a burst balloon, and the released air gradually accumulated into the outline of Jingyang's figure in the room.
It was not until Xiaodi, Kula Pika, and Menqi all had sweat on their foreheads that Jingyang successfully condensed his form, displaced space, and was summoned from the Wuzhuang Temple a thousand miles away.
"Phew!"
Menqi took a deep breath and summoned Jingsheng, feeling as if she had pushed a small mountain. It was exhausting, even with three people working together!
If Menqi had summoned Jingsheng alone, it would have taken several times longer. She would have had to take multiple breaks along the way. It was like summoning in a slow-cooking fashion. Thinking about this, Menqi couldn't help but laugh at her own fatigue.
What a silly joy? Jingyang (the character's name) went through some activities.
This is also the first time he has been summoned, and the feeling of space conversion is truly miraculous. In previous science fiction works, there was a type of technology involving black-hole travel and teleportation gates, where the physical body of the starting point is disintegrated and reshaped at the exit. The summoning experience just now is quite similar to this.
As for... the reshaped self after the exit, or the self at the starting point?
In a world where "thought" exists, this question never existed from the beginning. As the air filled with meanings began to shape, Jingyang sensed the presence of a clone-like existence. It was an extension of oneself, both far away and right in front of the eyes, able to use both bodies simultaneously with just a thought.
This experience is so familiar to Jingyang.
Isn't this the feeling he has when using the Star Mark Attachment in his daily life?
The Sun Mark and Star Mark are both derivatives of his ability to manipulate mental powers, a common underlying logic that is only natural. Jingyang smiled faintly.
"Why are you laughing?" Men Qi, regaining some strength, complained, "I've been exhausted by you all in confusion. No, you all must also work like laborers for me. Don't just stand there, come and help."
Xiao Di curiously asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
Jing Yang replied helplessly, "Just so you know, I don't know how to cook!"
Men Qi said, "You're not qualified to cook yet. Card King's fat king, on the other hand, has a discerning taste. He knows I have some free time lately, so he asked the association to assign me as the head chef..."
