This Summoner Is Too Powerful

To know Li Pu’s physical qualities are displayed here, so his reaction speed is extremely fast.

And the moment the text options popped up represents the time he reacted.

Reacting only when so close in such a short distance in front of him is a rare occurrence, enough to show the ferocity of the opponent’s punch.

[Facing the opponent’s ferocious punch, you plan to make the following choice]

[1. Use the fastest speed to assume a defensive posture as much as possible]

[2. Ignore the opponent’s attack and charge forward recklessly]

[3. Trust yourself and dodge in the most stylish way possible]

[4. Or do you have other thoughts, and decide ________]

In fact, without reading the options, Li Pu already had an answer.

The power of the opponent’s punch is unknown, and recklessly ignoring it could cause danger.

Dodging is even less feasible.

According to the timing when the options popped up, he knew he no longer had enough time and distance to make a dodging move.

If he wanted to dodge, he would end up getting hit embarrassingly while trying to show off.

So he chose the most efficient option, 1.

His body automatically lifted both arms, positioned parallel to guard in front.

Bang!

The gemstone gauntlet smashed onto the [Hardening] arms, making a deafening noise.

The rare pain under the [Hardening] state made Li Pu want to grimace.

The opponent’s punch really hurt him.

But at this moment, what he cared about was something else.

"This is..."

He felt a powerful force pushing him rapidly backward.

This kind of experience seemed to have not been encountered for a while, but he would never forget it.

That is... the knockback effect.

And the knockback distance was long, as far as half a soccer field.

If he hadn’t chosen to change the buoyancy on his body to gravity midway, he might even fall out of the clouds.

"It seems the one truly getting knocked back with a punch is myself."

Li Pu shook his hand.

As for the Boxer’s strength, how to say it, it was quite strange.

Firstly, its yellow grid domain seemed to have the effect of weakening the enemy.

Meanwhile, the Boxer itself wasn’t weak, and after being weakened, Li Pu actually felt he couldn’t quite cope with the opponent.

To be honest, he didn’t encounter many human opponents like this.

Originally, there was one named Xiu Zangjia, and the rest who could compete one-on-one with him were only magical creatures and summon creatures.

The first moment he was knocked back, he communicated via Telepathy, asking Fufu to retreat.

Otherwise, facing a three-person siege alone, Fufu would inevitably suffer disaster.

[Stay calm!]

Although somewhat embarrassed, Fufu, who had activated the steadfast state, still returned intact to Li Pu’s side.

"Repelled them, there’s a little danger."

"That young owl is quite impressive."

The Archer and Swordsman breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

But the Boxer remained silent.

Because, like Li Pu, he was equally surprised by the other’s performance.

Originally, based on previous experience, his punch should have either directly shattered the opponent or knock them out of the clouds.

Yet the person seemed completely unscathed, which truly amazed him.

It seems that in the Dream World of the Sleep God, every competitor could not be underestimated.

In fact, Li Pu wasn’t entirely unharmed; at least his arms, which had endured the opponent’s punch, were now bruised.

He glanced at the upper right corner, and 5 minutes had already passed.

Previously, the Archer’s rain of arrows, though harmless, significantly hindered Fufu’s advance.

Whoosh! xN

Ding! xN

Sure enough, now it started pouring over again.

Fortunately, he was prepared and hid behind Fufu.

At this moment, Fufu sat like a penguin on the ground resting, with all arrows hitting it being deflected away, and those that didn’t hit were embedded in the clouds, standing like poles.

Soon, the ground was densely packed with arrows, leaving only an owl-shaped outline, making it look like a hero.

Li Pu hid in this clearing, pondering what to do next.

He had observed earlier that the Archer’s and Swordsman’s combat power wasn’t weak either.

Moreover, for unknown reasons, perhaps due to those grid domains, he found his [Gravity Field] had little effect on these three.

The most ridiculous part was the Archer, directly immune to his [Gravity Field].

So he had to settle for the second-best, increasing the weight of their weapons.

As a result, when Fufu charged, the opponent decisively abandoned their weapon and engaged in close combat with it.

Although in terms of hand-to-hand combat, definitely far inferior to Fufu, it couldn’t withstand the Swordsman, who was constantly casting something akin to healing from behind.

They could even apply various shields and even remove curses, seemingly some kind of Paladin expert.

In short, coming into combat, Fufu could not secure an advantage and was instead steadily suppressed.

"What should we do now?"

Leaning against Fufu, Li Pu began to ponder.

Next, he tried various tactics and strategies.

But the offensive was all neutralized by the opponent’s defense.

One front row + one ranged + one healing support, the opponent’s team structure was very solid.

And on their side, they only had Li Pu and Fufu as two front rows + Li Pu as the ranged + Li Pu as the support, the structure wasn’t very balanced.

In reality, this wasn’t the main issue. The main issue was that after multiple practices, he found the opponent’s three grid domains were very peculiar.

The yellow one could weaken an enemy’s physical quality, the green could form wind blades to attack, and the most excessive pink one, like a mine, would explode if treaded on, with mines randomly distributed and refreshed.

The critical area’s grids would even overlap, making it more troublesome.

Standing in their respective grid domains, the three wouldn’t be affected.

And they wouldn’t leave their respective grid domains no matter what; after activating [True Vision], Li Pu could vaguely see energy lines on each glowing cube connected to them, which he assumed was the reason.

Perhaps leaving the grid domains, they wouldn’t be as powerful.

After summarizing and analyzing this information, Li Pu had a hypothesis.

Unfortunately, there was already no time for him to realize it, because the previous probes and explorations exhausted all their task time.

[Task failed, now returning to Level 1]

As a line of text popped up, the ground beneath Li Pu and Fufu softened, and they slowly sank from the cloud layer.

In this brief final moment, he saw the relieved expressions on the faces of the three.

He also saw them putting away their glowing cubes using unknown means, and then both weapons and grid domains vanished.

"To think we lost just like this."

Passing through the cloud, he and Fufu began to fall.

To calculate accurately, from the landing point, they had only made it to Level 4.

Unexpected to encounter such challenging opponents.

Although Nan Xing said the stages get progressively harder, he truly didn’t expect the gap to be so wide.

Or, perhaps, the opposition wasn’t actually that strong.

It was only because of his lack of understanding of them that led to the task failure?

Plop! x2

Unable to control their bodies, a man and an owl fell onto a new cloud layer.

This venue was small, just about the size of a basketball court.

As they stood still, a corner of the cloud was torn by an invisible force, beginning to transform.

Ultimately, a mammoth appeared before them.

[Facing the vast cloud guardian, you plan to make the following choices]

[1. Attack]

[2. Defend]

[3. Flee]

[4. Or do you have your own idea, deciding ________]

The first three options all had second-tier options, Li Pu didn’t know what the significance of 4 was.

Not choosing among the three options, could he be talking to the opponent?

"Eh?"

On thinking this, Li Pu suddenly paused.

Anyway, since the opponent probably poses no threat, why not try it?

...

High in the sky, at an unseeable place, eyes were observing everything happening in this small dream world.

No competitor’s every move could escape its gaze.

At this moment, the eyes slowly scanned over, hoping to find a satisfactory suitable candidate.

After all, a deity can only have one divine substitute, which is a matter that requires careful consideration.
