Chapter 860 - 574: Straw Man vs. Void Giant
It only puzzled Li Pu that Liu Jisheng also followed the scarecrow to the center of the arena.
He looked at the referee teacher in confusion, but found the other’s expression very normal, with no intention of stopping it.
"Li classmate, you probably haven’t seen Liu Jisheng’s Void Giant."
Noticing Li Pu’s gaze, the referee turned his head toward him.
It turns out, in the true sense, Liu Jisheng’s 6th-turn summoned beast is not the Void Giant.
But... a fragment of a void space.
Inside, a powerful Void Giant is imprisoned.
The agreement between this Void Giant and Liu Jisheng is not a contract, but merely a verbal agreement.
Liu Jisheng promised to continuously cultivate this space until one day a portal large enough for the Void Giant to escape could be formed.
Meanwhile, the Void Giant assists him in combat, providing support.
As Liu Jisheng’s cultivation of the space improves daily, the passage to the outside world becomes wider and more solid.
From being able to only let the Void Giant exhale a breath out at 0-turn, to a finger, to a fist, to 1/3 of its body, now it can almost free its entire upper body.
However, this space has a strong binding force on the Void Giant, making it impossible for it to fully regain its freedom at present, likely needing until 8th or 9th turn.
"Truly amazing..."
The prior intelligence was too brief, and it was Li Pu’s first time hearing these details.
Strictly speaking, Liu Jisheng’s summon counts as a 6th-turn summoned creature.
Being able to form a pact with a small space really sounds quite rare.
But Li Pu immediately captured the key point.
"So can it be understood that the Void Giant doesn’t actually have mobility?"
From this aspect, it feels a bit similar to Chang Shoushang’s biting flower.
"You can understand it that way."
The referee teacher nodded.
At this moment, Liu Jisheng in the center of the arena squatted down, pressing his palms onto the ground.
Buzz...!
A circle with a diameter exceeding 20 meters appeared.
[Caocao!]
The scarecrow saw this and quickly retreated to distance itself.
Soon, the ground inside the circle started to mildly distort.
This distortion was precisely the spatial distortion Li Pu demonstrated earlier, only this time, the range was much larger.
Some loyal spectators of the Huazhong Cup were already getting excited in advance.
"Liu Jisheng, finally deploying the Void Giant..."
"Today, you guys are in for a treat, you know, the last time I witnessed this was three years ago at the Huazhong Cup."
"Indeed, ever since that raccoon Ninja settled Fu Dusheng, the Void Giant hasn’t needed to appear."
"I wonder how much it has been cultivated after these years."
"The result is clear..."
Obviously, anyone who had witnessed the Void Giant didn’t think the scarecrow would win.
"..."
Li Pu watched the changes on the field, feeling he had been deceived.
From the moment Liu Jisheng proposed this 1V1, it seemed he had held a safety card for himself.
And this card was the Void Giant.
What was visible to the naked eye now was that it took quite some time to open this space.
If it were a regular battle, the portal might not have been summoned before Liu Jisheng was brutally beaten by him.
But in this 1V1 situation, he could only watch helplessly as the opponent opened the portal.
The longer it took, the stronger the opponent seemed to get.
The so-called long duration was actually just a relative situation in the battle.
In fact, Liu Jisheng spent about 1 minute to open the portal.
With the distortion growing stronger, it formed into a black hole-like appearance within the circle.
Unlike the space rift Li Pu had seen before containing a starry sky.
The previous space rift was mysterious, unknown but full of life, whereas the current black hole resembled a stagnant pool.
Liu Jisheng, standing over there, moved his lips but spoke in unfamiliar syllables as if communicating with the Void Giant within the space.
After speaking, he took out a chunk of Crystal Coin and threw it into the space.
Li Pu, sharp-eyed, could tell the light concentration of the Crystal Coin was about 50,000.
It seemed like a labor fee for the Void Giant to act, feeling that such an expensive hitman wasn’t something he wanted to maintain.
"Okay, we can start now, junior, teacher."
After completing this series of actions, Liu Jisheng returned.
The referee teacher looked at Li Pu, who nodded.
[Beep!]
[Beep!]
[Beep!... Buzz!]
Thus, the rings on the arena sounded.
[Caocao?]
The scarecrow, initially alert from the sound of the rings, found the field remained quiet.
So it stepped cautiously towards the edge of the black hole, curiously extending its head to take a look.
Rumble!
Just then, a purple light pillar rose from the black hole.
The pillar seemed to have substance, directly slicing off half of the scarecrow’s protruding head.
[Caocao! Eat groove!]
This scared the scarecrow, causing it to retreat repeatedly, quickly swallowing a blue fire, soon regenerating the missing portion.
The audience who had witnessed the Void Giant all held their breath, knowing its appearance was imminent.
The light pillar formed a semi-transparent protective barrier, temporarily preventing the scarecrow from acting rashly.
Indeed, the next second, a purple hand extended from the black hole, clutching the edge of the black hole.
