Chapter 846 - 567: The Finals Begin
"Damn it, why is this straw man so strong!"
"And even when stung by the queen bee, it’s completely unharmed!"
Fu Dusheng was genuinely panicking by now.
The queen bee was a crucial sacrifice, and if it were to be blasted apart, the Great Historian would lose a significant portion of its energy.
After all, it couldn’t devour just anything, only temporarily consume corpses or targets with absolutely no resistance.
But now, there was no time to worry about such things.
Because the straw man was already running towards the Great Historian, and considering the Great Historian’s speed, dodging the battle simply wasn’t an option.
"At this point, all we can do is fight!"
Unknowingly, Fu Dusheng had reached a mindset he hadn’t even anticipated himself.
It’s important to know that summoning the Great Historian was his last secret move saved for dealing with Liu Jisheng.
Being forced to use it prematurely, if he couldn’t defeat the seemingly insignificant first-year exchange student in front of him, he’d be utterly disgraced.
It would be a complete embarrassment after repeating so many years.
[Skull Skullll!]
So, under his command, the skeleton mage, still rolling on the ground, rolled towards the Great Historian.
Thud!
Willingly merging with the Great Historian, it instantly turned into a viscous liquid, becoming the nutrient for its growth.
[Roarrr!!!]
The Great Historian roared, its body swelling again to reach 10 meters.
However... Its movements seemed slower.
In the audience, many were visibly startled.
"What a huge summoned beast!"
"Is this the skill level of a tier 5 Summoner?"
"A slime that has consumed a bunch of underlings and two summoned beasts can actually grow to this extent."
"That size, it’s almost reaching the ceiling of the arena’s protective shield."
"Wow, this giant’s combat power must be strong."
"Just a stomp with those huge feet could probably crush 20 turtles."
"20 turtles? Is that some new unit of measure?"
[Roll!!!]
Similarly, Chen Hualang frowned as she watched.
"Looks like Fu Dusheng has gone to great lengths to deal with your big treasure,"
She knew what Liu Jisheng’s tier 6 summoned beast was.
"Is that so? Then he’s still far off, haha."
"Though I do appreciate his effort."
Liu Jisheng smiled.
"No idea what he fed it, but it managed to manifest the slime gel state on the summoned beast."
In certain aspects of theory, Chen Hualang as a doctoral student was knowledgeable.
The evasive state of the Great Historian earlier was the slime gel state.
It’s an extraordinary gel state known for overcoming toughness with softness.
Usually only appearing on certain vessels, having the Great Historian completely enter the slime gel state and being so large, is truly exceptional.
"Is there any method to break the slime gel state?"
Liu Jisheng asked curiously.
Another reason he recruited Chen Hualang was because of her doctoral education, possessing solid professional knowledge.
"Well... it’s hard to say."
"As far as I know, slime gel is rather afraid of vibration effects."
"However, such a large mass of slime gel exceeds many people’s understanding."
"And its cushioning capacity isn’t comparable to small-particle slime gel."
"Even the professors at school might not immediately suggest a viable method."
Chen Hualang showed a troubled expression.
"Overcoming toughness with softness, then what could overcome softness?"
Liu Jisheng stroked his chin, pondering this worthy question.
"If I were to follow your logic and forced to give an answer,"
"Then I’d say it’s another ’softness’ more powerful than this ’softness.’
Chen Hualang wasn’t sure whether her response was an acceptable answer.
"A more powerful softness..."
Liu Jisheng was already contemplating how to deal with this mass of Great Historian when confronted.
He’s heard of the slime gel state before.
Now that Fu Dusheng’s slime has swallowed two summoned beasts to reach this size, if it smoothly consumes the mirror and queen bee next time, it might truly catch up to his Void Giant.
When that time comes, could the Void Giant resolve this?
Evidently, after Chen Hualang’s explanation, he no longer believed Li Pu had a chance of winning.
It’s not that Little Li isn’t strong enough, just that the opponent is too abnormal.
[Ssss~Ssss~Ssss~Ao~Ao~Ao~Ao~]
Yet just then, he heard a peculiar sound from the arena.
The sound was elongated, sounding somewhat lazy.
Turning towards the sound, Liu Jisheng saw the straw man standing at the foot of the Great Historian, leisurely swinging a punch at it.
This sight, honestly, was a bit comical.
"So is this move considered ’softness’?"
Liu Jisheng couldn’t help but chuckle, looking at Chen Hualang.
"Uh... I guess so."
"But as I said earlier, it’s not just softness we need, but it has to be strong enough... Ah?"
Chen Hualang couldn’t finish her words before seeing the straw man’s fist landing on the equally slow-moving Great Historian.
And then...
Boom!!!
The Great Historian suddenly exploded.
Large patches of sludge rained down from the sky, resembling a strange green rain.
"Did his attack work?"
Liu Jisheng’s eyes slightly bulged.
This turnaround was just too fast.
The straw man had been nurtured to the point where one punch could explode a 10-meter high slime gel!
Compared to his reaction, the other audience members were even more astonished.
