Chapter 832 - 560: The Huazhong Cup Begins
Under the powerful collision of No. 2, the entire beast mecha fell apart on the spot.
The various beast debris parts pieced together all flew out separately.
This also included Gan Wenlun, luckily Li Pu caught him immediately, so he wasn’t hurt or anything.
However, after landing, Gan Wenlun’s expression was blank, as if he couldn’t accept such reality.
He had spent half a semester developing a robot, and it fell apart so easily?
[Wow, that hit was fierce]
[Is this the power of mecha? It took out the beast mecha without even deploying a weapon]
[Dumper No. 2, impressive]
[Whoever defies, gets crashed]
On the phone, everyone was still discussing.
As friends, they all understood well the effort Gan Wenlun put into the beast mecha.
In fact, many of them had contributed more or less during the creation of this beast mecha.
It was precisely because they had participated that they were all the more amazed by the power of No. 2’s collision.
You must know the initial design concept for the beast mecha was to protect humans.
The driver, of course, is human.
Therefore, the safety of the driver is the top priority in the design of a beast mecha.
They all knew that Gan Wenlun’s mecha was not very aggressive, at most equivalent to a level 1 maxed-out beast.
But in terms of defense, it wasn’t that bad either.
Its sturdiness was a notch higher than its offensiveness, roughly the level of a level 2 maxed-out beast.
Yet, such sturdiness was shattered by a single hit.
One could only say the power of No. 2’s strike was quite remarkable.
"Sorry, senior."
Li Pu hadn’t expected the battle to take such a turn.
But seeing the destructive power of No. 2 dumper, he was inwardly pleased.
Even though it wasn’t comparable to his other summoned beasts, at least it had some attack capability.
Ultimately, this mecha showdown ended with Gan Wenlun leaving in a daze.
However, no one knew that this little student squabble rekindled his determination, vowing to create a stronger and more reliable beast mecha in the future.
After completing No. 2’s level 4, the next task was to prepare for the Huazhong Cup starting in 2 days.
This year’s Huazhong Cup was hosted by Imperial University.
Li Pu had stayed here for nearly a semester, so he could consider it his home ground.
The first day was the opening ceremony, and initially, he didn’t want to attend.
But he thought that if he didn’t go, his summoned beasts might cause trouble all over while the school’s staff was focused on the event.
Thus, he had no choice but to take the unruly bunch to the venue.
Aside from Fufu, who was suffering from nightmares and couldn’t be seen through its dark circles, the rest of the summoned beasts were enthusiastic, always eager to join in the fun.
At the opening ceremony, school leaders from all sides took turns delivering speeches while subtly competing, each showing off their strength by releasing their summoned beasts for encouragement.
When their few level 8 summoned beasts appeared, the entire audience was understandably amazed.
The most impressive was the principal of Imperial University, as the most powerful figure in the education world, one of Blue Star’s top ten, and the third summoner in the Huazhong region, he directly brought out a level 9 beast.
This made Li Pu have to sigh in relief, realizing he was fortunate to be here, otherwise he would have missed the chance to broaden his horizons.
A level 9 beast indeed was different, even if the opponent’s aura was restrained, there was still an overwhelming presence pressing forward.
He felt that even if combined with five of his summoned beasts, including those handling basic needs, they wouldn’t stand up to a breath from the opponent.
After all, level 9 is theoretically the ultimate existence, at that level, it’s not just a simple reincarnation but an ultimate evolution.
It’s said that a single level 9 summoned beast can easily handle a group of level 8 summoned beasts.
The final appearance of the level 9 summoned beast overshadowed even the other principals’ summoned beasts before it.
Only the peak level 8 rare species summoned beast of the Shanghai University principal managed to breathe in front of it.
However, despite the leaders’ shows, they were still very cordial with each other.
Because they all knew they were just running through the motions, the real protagonists were the students from various schools; they were the future of Blue Star.
So after the leaders’ speeches, it was the students’ representatives’ turn to take the stage.
The student representatives’ segment was quite dull, as it consisted of each person coming up to talk about their determination for this year’s competition.
Especially since Imperial University, as the host, had sent multiple student representatives, not just one.
Li Pu listened till he was drowsy and decided to nap on Fufu.
However, Fufu, who had been somewhat sleep-deprived lately, looked enviously at him sleeping.
Originally, Imperial University had also asked him to give a speech, representing exchange students.
But he found it troublesome and declined with the excuse of leg inconvenience.
As a result, somehow the task of being the exchange student representative fell to Wu Guinan.
As someone not suited for the spotlight, Wu Guinan trembled even while speaking on stage, eventually forgetting his lines and had to awkwardly pull out crumpled notes from his pocket.
Causing the scarecrow and slow turtle summoned beasts to mockingly laugh at him for being so pathetic down below.
After the principal showed off, and the student representatives finished their speeches, the morning passed just like that.
