Luo Ran laughed and cursed: "Why such theatrical words? Most of what you’ve achieved so far is because you’ve fought for it yourself."

"Oh, and you should use these two things first."

Luo Ran turned over his palm, revealing two stone-like objects, making Shen Fei momentarily dazed, "Summoning Space Crystal Stone?"

"Alright."

Shen Fei took them and used them directly.

[You have used Summoning Space Crystal Stone, Summoning Space +1]

[You have used Summoning Space Crystal Stone, Summoning Space +1]

Luo Ran continued: "Also, you should keep some Summoning Skill Books that are suitable for water battles, and some that are less common for combat environments.

In the Abyss, the situation can change rapidly. At crucial moments, these Summoning Skill Books can save lives."

"Don’t worry about occupying the summoning space; you can use ’Old Lady Meng’s Water’ to wash them off when needed."

Shen Fei nodded, "Alright."

Old Lady Meng’s Water is a special item that can erase learned skills.

Actually, it doesn’t have much effect for many Professionals.

Because Professionals don’t really have a skill bar.

Sometimes, erasing them is just to prevent using the wrong skill in an emergency.

But for Summoners, it’s lifesaving.

However, it’s produced in limited quantity and is not commonly found, but it’s available for exchange at school.

"Okay, almost ready to start the exploration in the Ice Abyss.

Prepare well; this time the exploration team for the Ice Abyss is no small matter, Tier Three are only in logistics.

To avoid awakening the sleeping Tier Ten of the Abyss, Tier Nine is in charge, with the main exploration force being Tier Six, Seven, Eight..."

"Alright."

Shen Fei suddenly thought, "I remember Governor Han mentioned that when I reach Tier Three, he wants me to explore the Ice Abyss.

So, do I represent the newcomers from the South China Area or..."

"It doesn’t matter, just get in touch, but exploring the Abyss is done by military region actions.

You can choose whichever side you want. But the Abyss exploration calculates military merits for the military region, even if the Ice Abyss is allied with the other four countries."

"Alright."

Shen Fei nodded, best to stick with the South China Military Region then.

"Alright, I have some matters to attend to. Remember to come to class with your Summoned Beast..."

Luo Ran suddenly furrowed his brow, and Shen Fei thought Luo Ran had something more to discuss.

But Luo Ran just told him to leave, while light spots covered her whole body and she vanished from the office.

"Is there trouble somewhere again?"

Seeing even Luo Ran, who usually remotely controlled Summoned Beasts, had to go personally.

It indicated that something big had happened again.

Reflecting deeply, Shen Fei also left the office.

...

Two days passed.

The buzz from Shen Fei challenging five major clubs alone didn’t end because of this incident.

Instead, as the Innovation Association’s movements grew larger, discussions multiplied.

After that day, the presidents of the five major clubs successively announced their joining of the Innovation Association.

However, it wasn’t a club merger, but rather under the supervision of the Innovation Association, part of the sports department’s ’club activities.’

Indeed.

Clubs will no longer exist as independent entities but will be managed under the Innovation Association.

At the same time.

The control system for clubs that Shen Fei had previously devised was also published.

Clubs will be rated, with Abyss Cores used as contributions for club level evaluations.

Club levels will affect the limits on club members, and enjoy various preferential policies.

This matter rapidly fermented on the Imperial University’s forum, like at the start of the school year.

The school had only partially reformed, while future student benefits will need task completion.

Now the club ratings are linked to Abyss Cores.

Further rumors emerged, claiming that positions within the Innovation Association would also be evaluated based on Abyss battle achievements.

There would be monthly reviews.

"Luckily, I didn’t join the Innovation Association. Is the Abyss somewhere anyone can go? Without the strength of juniors and seniors, can one even go?"

"Even being Tier Three or Four, one can’t charge recklessly!"

"And clubs, will anyone still establish clubs? This directly robs the clubs of their foundation!"

"I heard now all clubs are Level One, and a club can’t exceed one hundred members."

"One hundred members? Damn, even with our school’s relatively small population, one hundred members is still only about two classes worth.

What about the other four levels then?"

"Shen Fei is acting recklessly with his own power, it was much better when Zhenyuan and the others were around!"

"I’m fed up. Why isn’t the school intervening? Are they just letting Shen Fei mess around?"

...

In a meeting room.

Shen Fei sat at the head, next to Su Muyu, whereas the other vice-chair position was still under discussion.

"The head of the organizing department, Tang Yann, the head of the logistics department, Fang Ruxue, the head of the sports department, Zhao Shanlan, the head of the publicity department, Le Yao."

Shen Fei looked at Zhou Yi and Lin Zhige, "I prefer Lin Zhige as vice-chairperson, while Zhou Yi will serve as the club representative joining the internal mediation committee."

"As for the Innovation Association, Su Muyu will enter the internal mediation committee."

"Do you have any objections?"

Shen Fei spoke calmly.

Present were the presidents of the five major clubs and the four ministers Shen Fei had appointed.

Since he’d made grand promises to the school that if he messed up, it wouldn’t just be his reputation he’d lose.

But also Luo Ran’s reputation.

And even though he founded the Innovation Association mainly due to discontent with the club system, planning to build a more efficient management system.

Even though he is a traveler, having lived in this world for many years, he honestly doesn’t feel much alienation towards it.

Nor is his journey from growth to now lacking in goodwill; now that he has the ability.

It naturally prompts reciprocation.

"No."

Zhou Yi and others shook their heads, as Tang Yann had pre-discussed these matters before Shen Fei convened this meeting.

"The club rating response has been... rather unfavorable..."

Le Yao spoke up.

Because among the five major clubs, Colored Glaze and Spirit Fox are clubs with more females.

Tang Yann suggested that the publicity angle should be handled by females.

While Spirit Fox club president Yuan Mengyao has begun handing over responsibilities to the next president.

Not planning to take a position in the Innovation Association.

And Le Yao hasn’t yet found a suitable successor for her club, thus letting her manage the publicity department in the coming year.

Since the Innovation Association is newly established, it needs someone comparatively familiar.

"Very soon, the school will issue notifications."

"Alright."

The crowd’s hearts clenched, implying Shen Fei had already coordinated this with the school.

"The publicity department’s future promotional direction will be toward spreading the word about Abyss battles. I’ve noticed the students aren’t quite aware of the Abyss’s harshness."

"The sports department, in future task settings, aims primarily at clearing Abyss Edge and the Abyss!

Also, all clubs should continue establishing Abyss squads."

"The organizing department should plan resource allocations and communicate related matters with the school, I’ll talk to Director Zhong."

"The logistics department will mainly oversee material operations. I’ve already arranged for four logistics teams specifically for the Innovation Association within the school."

"The Innovation Association’s exchange system is like the school’s, but will offer certain discounts based on military merits, and the Abyss Core can be exchanged for credits."

"I have already allocated multiple resources, including vast amounts of equipment, items, skill books, and potions to the logistics department.

Also, reserved ten thousand credits for turnover."

Shen Fei systematically arranged each part, and the crowd nodded.

"In the next week, departments should form complete sections with the members already part of the Innovation Association."

"Any issues can be contacted with me anytime."

"Meeting adjourned."

In the following days.

Shen Fei didn’t go to the Abyss but was still dealing with the Innovation Association and upgrading the equipment and skills of the Empress and her team.

Mainly focused on collecting Immunity from Death and Control Skill Books.

Like Resurrection Potion, Tier Seven Summoning Skill Book, once Medicine Ancestor learns them, it can produce three ’Resurrection Potions’ at the same time.

These exist within the target body, or can be held by oneself for revival, but only revive targets within ten minutes of death.

This counts as a particularly powerful Immortal Skill.

While Shen Fei continued using the Black Fog Abyss obtained [Black Fog Array] to exchange for a set of Tier Four Epic Level Mage Type Summoned Beast gear.

[Celestial Maiden Set]

Besides increasing the Empress’s Spiritual Power, the six-piece set offers the [Celestial Maiden Descending] effect.

Immunity from three deaths, rebirth enters ’Celestial Maiden State’ lasting thirty minutes.

Used magic will be imbued with ’Holy Damage,’ meaning they can’t be defended against or negated.

Shen Fei almost prioritizes survival to the extreme because after the Second Transformation, battles have a very low tolerance for mistakes.

One wrong move, one skill could lead to being instantly killed.

That’s why after Second Transformation, Immortal Skills or Resurrection Skills are abnormally extensive.

Not only is this true for Professionals, but Abyssal Creatures also possess numerous life-saving abilities.
