This Summoner Is Too Powerful

At noon, Li Pu gathered with his friends for a meal.

There were earth and stone-type summoning beasts from the engineering department, so the conference facilities were quite complete.

Thus, the scale of the cafeteria had to be mentioned; it was rather impressive.

The spaciousness was more than adequate, not only accommodating many attendees from various places but even allowing summoning beasts of average size inside.

"What’s going on?"

When Li Pu received the schedule from Qian Shanshan, suddenly his meal lost its appeal.

The group he was in, the 5 Summoners team, was actually scheduled for the last session of the conference.

But on reflection, it made sense; the 5 Summoners group had the fewest members, yet had the highest intensity. Having them last was quite fitting.

However, this meant that he would have to be just a spectator for the earlier sessions.

What was surprising was that the first-year group from the Cubes team was scheduled first.

"I heard outside that this time your name is in high demand."

Wu Guinan nudged Ah Yajun, who was busy eating.

Each track could only be joined once, so since Li Pu was participating in the 5 Summoners group, he couldn’t join the Cubes team.

Without Li Pu, Ah Yajun was evidently the biggest hope.

Among first-year students from various schools, word had already spread that he was sure to win.

After all, his Platinum 1 rank was overwhelmingly dominant among first-year students.

Upon hearing this, Ah Yajun instantly adopted a serious expression.

He put down his chopsticks and glanced around at everyone.

"I will definitely win the championship."

Then he made a fist.

"... Wipe your mouth first, will you?"

Li Pu felt that this guy’s demeanor wasn’t convincing at all.

"Come on, I still need to keep eating."

After saying this, Ah Yajun returned to his meal.

Just then, a figure approached their table.

"Junior, you really participated in the 5 Summoners group competition."

The newcomer, with sharp eyes, was Liu Jisheng, who Li Pu had met once before.

"Liu, Liu Jisheng Senior?!" x2

Long Ren and Qian Shanshan exclaimed in unison.

As well-known figures within the school, those ranked among the top ten first-years would undoubtedly recognize him.

Though he was nearly 30 and still in school, he was undoubtedly the strongest student at Imperial University.

Even some of the teachers were not his match.

"Senior, how did you know I’d be here?"

Li Pu greeted him.

"How could I not know?"

Liu Jisheng smiled wryly, glancing under the table.

His rainbow fox was meekly grooming the Ugly Little Wolf.

"I looked at the grouping list, if we are destined, we will only meet in the finals."

He then turned his gaze to Li Pu.

Li Pu had just finished reading the 5 Summoners team battle list, and it was indeed as Liu Jisheng said.

The number of participants in the 5 Summoners group was actually quite small, because not even including Ph.D. students, there were very few students under 30 who had completed all 5 contracts.

After excluding those who weren’t planning to participate, the total for this year’s Huazhong Cup 5 Summoners group was just 60 people.

In the knockout matches, there would be 6 rounds, with 4 people getting a bye in the first round.

He and Liu Jisheng were divided into the upper and lower halves of the bracket, only meeting in the finals if they did.

"I mainly came to remind you that your first opponent is very strong."

He explained his purpose for coming.

"Oh?"

Li Pu raised an eyebrow.

His gaze shifted once more to the battle list, seeing his first opponent.

Chen Hualang, quite a fierce name.

The key was, from the name alone, it seemed you could tell what methods the opponent excelled at. It really was a straightforward world.

"How does this person compare to you, Senior?"

He asked.

"Worthy of my finger."

Liu Jisheng laughed.

"Uh..."

Li Pu then understood that the opponent didn’t really take him seriously.

But that was very normal, because if it were a month ago, he indeed would have been like that.

As for now, that was a different story.

Overall, this senior came with good intentions.

"This fellow is a Ph.D. student from Modu University."

"Already 27 this year."

"When I was just a college senior, I had fought against him."

"Let me think... Um, about 7 or 8 years ago."

"At that time, I was truly young, hahaha."

Hearing this from a student felt somewhat awkward.

"Based on my understanding, all of his five summoning beasts are wolves."

"One of those who gain strength in the later stages of their development."

"The more summoning beasts there are, the stronger the combat power."

Glancing left and right, Liu Jisheng leaned closer to tell Li Pu.

"You might want to prepare some inscriptions that target this situation, then let your summoning beasts go through some special training to deal with the wolf pack."

"Wolf-type summoning beasts are best at team coordination."

"With a summoner serving as the telepathic center, their coordination becomes even more formidable."

At the mention of coordination, Li Pu frowned slightly.

The personalities of his summoning beasts were too distinct; while they could fight together, saying they could coordinate was rather difficult.

Besides their individuality, the lack of compatibility among them was also a significant factor.

For example, Bu Bu’s group attacks, Ugly Little Wolf’s electricity, and No. 2’s self-destruct, all were heavy firepower weapons that could damage their allies.

They excelled in outnumbered fights and performed well, but when it came to coordination—well, they fell short.

Chen Hualang’s advantage was precisely his own shortcoming.

"Hey, hey, Liu Jisheng."

"Are you dishing out my intel?"

Just then, a voice suddenly interjected.

"Oh, it’s you then."

Upon seeing who it was, Liu Jisheng introduced lightly: "Hey, she is Chen Hualang."

"Eh?"

Li Pu had assumed that the name was a senior, but never expected it was a senior sister.

Although she had distinct feminine curves, those lean muscles were definitely real.

A special aesthetic beauty unique to athletic women, not possessed by muscle men.

"I heard you’re the one I’m facing in the first round, right?"

Chen Hualang stepped past Liu Jisheng, eyes fixed on Li Pu.

After speaking, she revealed a toothy grin.

The overly visible canine, paired with eyes that seemed on the verge of turning into vertical pupils, made Li Pu and Ah Yajun exchange a glance.

Summoning beast bloodline.

They instantly understood.

Moreover, judging by her appearance, the bloodline purity seemed quite high, much higher than Ah Yajun’s.

"Hmm?"

Chen Hualang was somewhat surprised by Li Pu’s reaction.

She had just released a targeted aura pressure, yet the opponent acted like it was nothing?

What’s going on?

Was she not in good form today? Was it because she had a few more drinks than usual at lunch?

Puzzled, she spotted Ugly Little Wolf lying at Li Pu’s feet.

"This wolf-type summoning beast, is it yours?"

Suddenly, Chen Hualang’s gaze turned playful.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Li Pu didn’t deny it.

"Alright, that’s all the greeting."

Chen Hualang gave Ugly Little Wolf a lingering look before waving and leaving.

She wasn’t worried that Liu Jisheng would divulge anything useful, as her summoner talent had undergone a secondary awakening, now making her completely new.

That was her greatest secret weapon.

Besides, she could also gather intel on Li Pu.

"I bet you felt it just now, her beast-like sharp aura."

"Call it dreadful, this vicious woman."

Next to him, Liu Jisheng wiped his forehead.

He, too, had been the target of that aura before.

"Uh, yes."

Li Pu didn’t have the heart to admit that he was actually fine.

His spiritual power level was right here; that aura from her truly wasn’t any kind of threat.

Or perhaps it was due to [Willpower] providing immunity to fear.

Overall, he just thought her expression seemed fierce, but felt nothing too much.

"Her summoner talent allows her to emit a fear-inducing beast aura."

"It’s significantly effective against opponents, especially those of flesh and blood."

"Species that are particularly timid can even be frightened into losing mobility."

"She only demonstrated a bit just now, surely you found it uncomfortable?"

"Face this in the arena with caution."

Liu Jisheng said, looking at her departing figure.

"Got it."

Li Pu nodded seriously.

He certainly wouldn’t make the mistake of underestimating his opponent.
