This Summoner Is Too Powerful

It seems that this guy’s potential might be greater, worth observing further.

But before that, it’s got to use a little trick.

[This path to paradise is one you chose yourself]

[Can’t blame me, hahaha, oops]

With a mere thought, the Sleep God adjusted the level.

This world was created by its own dream, so it could change anything as it wished.

Altering rules required too much divine power, but tweaking levels was not a big deal.

[First, let’s take away his cloud beasts at level 51]

[And then, hmm, let’s see...]

[Move the difficulty of level 250 to level 52]

A plan floated in the Sleep God’s mind.

If even level 52 could be cleared, it wouldn’t interfere before level 100.

...

minutes later, at level 51.

"What the... what on earth is this thing?"

Li Pu looked at the beast in front of him, utterly speechless.

This wasn’t the cloud world he imagined.

On the contrary, this time the options didn’t seem to deceive him.

This Greco-Roman styled garden, filled with knee-high white mist, abundant green plants, and some plaster statues.

Not far off stood a large white stone palace, with the overall environment resembling something from a paradise-like program.

"But the problem is, why would paradise have a pea shooter?"

That was what truly puzzled Li Pu.

[Bam Bam!]

A bowl-sized white pea bullet shot out from the shooter’s mouth.

Pop!

He raised his hand and caught it.

The speed was quite fast, but the power was extremely weak.

"What a strange thing."

The white pea in his hand turned into a puff of white smoke in an instant.

The key was this strange bullet that wiped out all his little cloud beasts.

Each cloud beast hit by a pea would gradually shrink and eventually become irreversibly a puddle of water.

The shooter’s firing rate was so fast that before he could react, it was...

"So my new little brothers are all gone just like that?"

[Bam Bam Bam Bam!]

Thud thud thud...

Allowing the harmless peas to hit his body, Li Pu couldn’t accept it.

The budding cloud beast army he painstakingly built over the first 50 levels vanished in an instant.

He felt as if this Dream World was targeting him.

Obviously, this pea shooter had no other skills besides one-hit kills on the cloud beasts.

And their current level’s task was simply to eliminate the opponent.

He didn’t even need to act. Fu Fu took it out with a flying kick, roots and all.

With the target eliminated, new text appeared immediately.

[The palace in front of you piques your curiosity, leading you to choose the following options]

[1. Satisfy your curiosity and take a look inside]

[2. Feel it’s dangerous and take a look inside]

[3. Quite hesitant, but take a look inside]

[4. Or you have your own idea and decide ________]

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

It’s clearly a multiple-choice, but it seems he has no choice.

"Why would you go in even if you think it’s dangerous? To see the danger?"

He couldn’t help but complain.

But since the options appeared this way, it meant the next level had only one path, nothing to dwell on.

Opting for 4, he decided to stay and rest a bit.

Since level 51 and level 52 were connected, he might as well look around for clues as preparation.

Unfortunately, aside from that pea shooter, nothing peculiar stood out here.

Just those plaster statues, not all human, with some being from other races and beasts.

After resting, Li Pu made another choice, and the duo headed towards the palace.

Even though they were walking, it felt like the scene had hit the fast-forward button. Despite the journey being a few kilometers, it took only about 10 seconds.

From the outside, the palace seemed grand, but inside the front hall was small, less than 10 square meters and empty.

The lighting was dim, and a normal person wouldn’t be able to see clearly.

Fortunately, both Li Pu and Fu Fu had night vision.

Buzz!

A blue protective light sealed the entrance, illuminating the room.

The duo regained control over their bodies.

Knock knock.

Li Pu tapped the blue light membrane with his knuckles, seemingly quite sturdy.

After about 30 seconds, text appeared before them.

[Task for this level: Traverse 9 rooms to reach the palace’s end]

[From now on, you will take on mortal form]

"Puzzle-solving?"

Looking at this setup, Li Pu seemed to understand.

But weren’t these puzzle major levels supposed to appear at the x50 levels according to Nan Xing?

Soon, he understood what "mortal form" meant.

His left leg suddenly returned.

Clenching his fists, he noticed his strength weakened significantly.

It was akin to when he first entered school last term, before forming a pact with the scarecrow.

The contrast in strength made Li Pu feel much heavier.

He felt hollow, suddenly a lot weaker.

Fu Fu’s changes were also evident, as its movements and posture visibly clumsy.

It seemed like... a penguin.

"What can be done with a body like this?"

Li Pu was bewildered.

Even before becoming a Summoner, his physique was top-notch among regular people, akin to the peak all-around athletes of the old era.

But now, even facing the weakest cloud beast didn’t guarantee victory, especially with Fu Fu not in its prime.

[This level offers infinite retries]

[Fail and restart]

[Until victory or giving up]

"This truly feels like an x50 major level setup."

Li Pu looked at the new challenge and couldn’t help but sigh.

What fortune they had to face an x50 level challenge right after clearing the level 50 milestone.

[Your only privilege]

[Is a one-time use of ’Dream Power’ per challenge]

It seemed this level wasn’t utterly merciless, providing them something new.

"Dream Power?"

But this term felt a bit vague.

[Quiet??]

Though Fu Fu loved dreaming, it didn’t understand what power dreams could possess.

[A stream of information floods in, granting you immediate understanding of ’Dream Power’]

As if in response to them, new text appeared.

Just as it said, when the information stream entered their minds, they were enlightened.

Here, "Dream Power" turned their most frequent dream into reality.

Based on the dream, some superpowers could be unleashed.

Everyone’s most frequent dreams varied, resulting in different abilities.

"How about testing it first?"

Li Pu considered it and decided to test first.

With unlimited trial and error, he thought understanding his specific dream ability was a good start.

Controlling dream power wasn’t difficult; it simply required a thought.

He set Fu Fu as the target and silently said "release."

Buzz!

In the next moment, the space above Fu Fu seemed torn open.

A giant hand extended from it, curling its index and middle finger in a knocking gesture.

The knuckles of the two fingers delivered a sharp knock to its head.

Thud!

The giant hand’s single knuckle was larger than Fu Fu’s head, so this was no simple knock.

One strike turned it into dispersing blue light.

"This..."

Li Pu watched the scene and murmured, "The miraculous thing is that the ground remains unscathed."

Admittedly, his focus was unique.

But truthfully, the flooring was solid, not even a scratch or mark.

[Your companion died; mission failed]

[Restart now]

Two lines of text popped up, and as soon as Li Pu finished reading, a blur overtook his vision.

He and Fu Fu reappeared in the small room in a blink.

[Stay calm!]

Fu Fu held its head with some bewilderment.

What had just happened? It couldn’t even comprehend.

...
