This Summoner Is Too Powerful

After watching this match, Li Pu began to imagine how he would respond if he encountered the system brought by the tunnel digger.

Perhaps using the strawman’s vines is a good solution.

After all, when it comes to large-scale underground drilling, its vines definitely do not lose out to the opponent’s digging, since they are an S-level skill after all.

Or maybe use his sand to fill the tunnels, obstructing the opponent’s movements, vision, and breathing.

However, he knew that the significance of imagining this was ultimately small, because the opponent still had two summoned beasts and the Summoner himself not yet on the field.

The subsequent matches also opened Li Pu’s eyes repeatedly.

Indeed, those who could reach the 5-contract level during their student years were not ordinary geniuses.

Various surprising tactics and amazing summoning beasts were all beyond what he had seen or even imagined.

For example, there was a senior from a little-known college, and all five of her summoned beasts were monsters.

Her tactical approach was the terrifying illusion technique style.

Meanwhile, she also trained herself to have quite powerful protective measures.

Her five summoned beasts swarmed out to launch an all-out scare attack on the enemy Summoner while she withstood the siege of the enemy’s five summoned beasts.

The key was that even under the siege of five summoned beasts, they couldn’t do anything to her.

Li Pu thought calling her a turtle lady wasn’t too much.

Then there was a senior from Modu University who took the burst soldier style.

All five of his summoned beasts had the ability to summon underlings, even more powerful than a full tree-man brother tree.

As soon as the battle started, he summoned a mountain-full of underlings, easily winning with a human wave tactic.

There was also a senior, elegantly dressed in white.

When she raised her hand, she actually summoned five doom beasts.

The key was that these five doom beasts were particularly tough and couldn’t be easily defeated.

Even if they were beaten to pieces, the other companions would help pick up and patch them up, turning them back into fit and energetic warriors.

Although their aggression was not strong, the opponent couldn’t withstand this kind of near-infinite endurance strategy and was eventually forced to exhaustion and surrender.

Of course, none of the defeated competitors were weaklings either.

Li Pu now finally understood why the tournament placed the 5-contract group last.

Because besides the cube cards, the battles of the 5-contract group were the most exciting.

The battles among the 5-contracts fully demonstrated to the students what a true Summoner is.

This made him sigh that 5 contracts indeed seemed like the threshold for a Summoner to become mature.

It’s said that in the history of the entire Federation and even now, there are peak geniuses who completed 6 contracts during their student years.

Apparently, there are a few in the Huazhong Area too, but the number is too small to form a tournament, and they may not all be from the Huazhong region, so the upper limit this time is the 5-contract group.

Because each match of the 5-contract group is scheduled individually, and doesn’t happen simultaneously.

So it takes quite a while, but everyone loves to watch.

Many people even watched Summoner duels on television programs before they entered Summoner academies.

Generally, those shows are also at the 5-contract level.

Watching live on-site now obviously offers a better experience.

Even Li Pu found it very worthwhile to appreciate.

Thus, it was not until the fourth day afternoon when the 5-contract group started that it was finally time for his match.

In the waiting room for competitors, Li Pu watched the match before his on television.

He paid special attention to this one, as much as to Liu Jisheng.

For if he won the first round, his opponent would be the winner of this match.

Similar to the Southwest Star Cup, the 5-contract group’s venue is a central arena, plus surrounding terrain like mountains, waters, and marshes.

At this point, the two Summoners were already standing in the center of the arena.

A male and a female, the senior was from Modu University, while the senior was from a school that Li Pu hadn’t really heard of.

He was more interested in the Modu senior.

Because when the opponent took the stage, he only brought four summoned beasts.

Of course, the Modu senior was also a genuine 5-contract Summoner.

The unseen summoned beast was on his right arm.

The right arm was made of a fiery energy, clearly not part of a normal human body.

It’s no secret now that Modu University has developed a simplified version of [Possession].

Because he was familiar with the full version of [Possession], Li Pu had estimated the general principle of the simplified version.

He could only say there were pros and cons; while the full version was certainly stronger, the simplified version also had advantages the full version lacked.

For instance, it had lower spiritual power consumption and required less resonance, making it easier to master.

As for the five summoned beasts of the senior, they seemed rather ordinary.

Though certainly not common street breeds, they were visibly not too rare or precious.

It’s a pity that Wu Guinan and others were in the audience, or they would have surely asked Li Pu which side he favored.

And Li Pu’s answer would be the Modu senior.

However, once the fight started, it greatly surprised Li Pu.

Both sides’ summoned beasts engaged in a group battle; the Modu senior’s individual beasts were obviously stronger and should have belonged to a more compatible formation.

Yet they fought individually, failing to form effective links.

Sometimes they even made obvious mistakes that shouldn’t occur under a 5-contract Summoner’s command.

On the contrary, the senior’s summoned beasts were very united, breaking through consecutively under her command and gradually gaining control of the field.

Ultimately, after losing three summoned beasts, the Modu senior regrettably chose to surrender.

The unexpected uproar and exclamations in the arena were loud enough that even Li Pu could hear them from the waiting room.

"Li Pu, it’s your turn. Come with me."

While Li Pu was still immersed in the aftertaste of the previous match, a student council staff member knocked on the door.

"Okay, senior."

Li Pu nodded and stood up.

As he walked through the hallway, he encountered Chen Hualang being led by another staff member.

However, the opponent didn’t speak to him, just grinned, revealing those trademark canine teeth.

In no time, both sides were standing on the arena.

Unlike the cube card track, the real battle track had no host.

Because battles change instantly, no host can keep up with the speed of the narration.

Even if they could keep up, the audience couldn’t follow, as it would be faster than a rap.

However, there were floating light groups capturing close-up footage and sound for everyone.

So the players’ conversations were clearly transmitted to every corner of the venue.

"Hurry up and surrender, or I’ll tear you apart."

Before the match began, Chen Hualang first spoke harshly.

As soon as this was said, the audience was a little frightened.

Trash talk on the arena is common, but such bare-bones, bloody words were relatively rare.

Responding for Li Pu were Cao Ren and Bu Bu stepping forward to stand in front of him.

[Grass!]

Cao Ren: Ben Cao advises you not to be unwise.

The strawman with a hat stood akimbo, pointing at the opponent; only his Summoner could insult him.

[Silence Silence!]

Bu Bu: Do not be disrespectful to my master!

Bu Bu was righteously indignant.

However, the audience couldn’t understand the grass language or kung fu talk.

People from other schools mostly didn’t know Li Pu, but some from Imperial University recognized him.

"Hahaha, which school is this guy from? His summoned beasts are adorable."

"Adorable? Should we send them to your school?"

"Huh? Do they have a bad reputation?"

"Yesterday, my summoned beast got beaten up by that strawman."

"So did mine, the day before yesterday."

"Mine was three days ago."

The underground Demon King of Chaos from Imperial University is not just talk; it’s said that he’s ready to gradually incorporate the 4th transition gangs.

Since his summoned beasts took the lead, Li Pu didn’t plan to speak.

His attention was mainly focused on the opponent’s five summoned beasts.

Now seeing it firsthand, he finally understood why Senior Liu Jisheng reminded him to pay more attention.

Being able to form such a lineup of five summoned beasts, Chen Hualang’s skill level was indeed quite extraordinary.
