This Summoner Is Too Powerful

From the appearance, they might all possess more or less wind attributes.

The function of the barrier is quite simple and clear, visible at a glance.

That is to temporarily obstruct this big river, forming a flow-free field with a diameter of a hundred meters.

At the edge of the port, there are a few summoned beasts waiting in line, including Guan Guan Bird.

It seems that they are the energy source to maintain this barrier.

"You’re the last one, come quickly."

At this moment, Guan Heshi arrives at the shore riding his Guan Guan Fish.

"Okay."

Li Pu wastes no words, quickly jumping on the fish’s back and soon arriving at the flow-free field.

What unfolds before him is a huge white barrier wall, slightly curved in shape.

Ten meters in front of the barrier, there are ten unfamiliar West Capital University professors seated on the ground.

A large array drawn with luminous paint connects them together, and in the center of the array stands Nan Guan from the Imperial University.

This array is similar in construction to the wind barrier on the shore, but its power source is the Summoner.

In other words, this array requires energy from spiritual power.

Because in terms of spiritual power, Summoners are generally stronger than summoned beasts.

At this moment, Nan Guan is meditating with closed eyes, thinking about something unknown.

Outside the array, Principal Tea and Master Jie all look solemn.

Li Pu glances to his left, a vague water curtain seems to hold a huge silhouette.

The silhouette resembles a big turtle, undoubtedly the remains of the guardian beast Turtle Spirit.

He activated [True Sight] for a couple of glances at the large remains behind the water curtain, then furrowed his eyebrows.

"Li Pu, are you ready?"

At this time, Master Jie approaches him.

"I’m ready."

Li Pu stops examining closely, nodding in response.

With a wave of his hand, he releases all his summoned beasts.

Master Jie doesn’t do the same, since his four summoned beasts are used for assisting in barrier research and are of no use now.

"You two, pay attention, I can only maintain the passage for 1 minute."

At that moment, Nan Guan suddenly opens his eyes.

"Teachers, I am about to start the extraction."

"By then, you will feel rapidly drained, please do not panic."

"Anyone who can’t hold on should quickly let others take over."

In the midst of these few words, Li Pu and Master Jie have already arrived at the white barrier wall.

"This is it, a gap in the barrier due to years of disrepair."

Master Jie points ahead.

"?"

Li Pu looks with his naked eye, unable to find anything different about this part of the barrier.

Thanks to [True Sight], he sees that relatively speaking, it is indeed slightly thinner here compared to other parts.

The area is small, perhaps only large enough for a child who hasn’t yet grown up to pass through.

"Xiao Jie, start now!"

At this moment, Nan Guan’s voice comes from behind.

"Okay, Teacher Nan."

Master Jie nods, then forms his fingers into a sword shape.

Buzz...

A dazzling light appears at his fingertip.

Then Master Jie swiftly and accurately draws an extremely complex array on the barrier wall.

After completing the array, he forcefully presses his palm on it.

Buzz!!!

The array on the barrier wall and the large array beneath Nan Guan’s feet simultaneously light up.

Nan Guan’s hand forms a spell, moving so fast it blurs, connecting the two arrays with a pillar of light in less than a second.

After about 3 seconds, the pillar of light disappears.

Li Pu doesn’t understand these technical aspects, but he can see the gap in the barrier visibly melting away.

"Enter immediately as soon as the hole is big enough, I’ll say it again, I won’t be able to sustain this for long, don’t dawdle!"

Nan Guan reminds once more, indicating the urgency of the situation.

However, the gap just melts a little larger from what Li Pu observed in [True Sight] before stopping.

It’s still not enough for Li Pu or Master Jie to squeeze through.

"Teacher Nan! The gap expansion has stopped!"

Master Jie tightens his expression.

"Damn, miscalculated!"

Nan Guan sees this too.

Despite having left ample buffer preset, he didn’t expect the barrier’s robustness to surpass his expectations!

"Xiao Jie, any other methods?"

"I’ve reached my limits on improvement!"

Helplessly, he turns to inquire Master Jie.

This young teacher is the second-best barrier researcher in the Imperial University after himself.

"This..."

Faced with this issue, Master Jie shows a troubled expression.

Even Nan Guan finds it impossible; what could he possibly do?

"Let me try."

At that moment, Li Pu steps forward.

[Eat eat eat~]

With a signal, Bu Bu hops over.

Then it starts gnawing eagerly at the barrier.

The gap in the barrier instantly loses a chunk, visibly growing larger.

"Ah?! x2"

Nan Guan and Master Jie are simultaneously stunned.

The others present knew far less about barriers than these two, so their reaction was not as surprised.

Only they understand how significant this incident truly is.

Just where did this little kangaroo come from?

It can actually chew through this barrier?

"Damn it."

Especially Nan Guan, forgetting propriety, suddenly swears.

Because he finally realizes why none of the maze exams he designed this semester could stop Li Pu.

No matter how complex the mazes, others just gnaw through one path, hardly affected at all!

[Burp~Eat eat!]

Bu Bu: Finished.

Thankfully, Bu Bu stops its munching at this time.

And its mouth is still emitting white smoke, the same color as the barrier.

If it could chew indefinitely, that would be too invincible, too excessive.

"The area is now big enough, get inside at once."

"Only 15 seconds left before it contracts."

Nan Guan steadies his mood.

With limited time remaining, Li Pu and Master Jie exchange a glance.

Putting away those unable to go themselves, Li Pu leads his summoned beasts in first.

Master Jie follows closely.

Clang!

seconds later, the gap closes instantaneously.

...

Knock knock.

Standing inside the barrier, Master Jie knocks on the barrier wall.

Then he uses a glowing fingertip to prod it.

"Damn, it seems we triggered the barrier’s self-repair mechanism during that process."

"Now the gap has completely vanished."

His face looks a bit unpleasant.

The main issue is that with the gap utterly gone, his means to connect with Nan Guan outside are completely severed.

"Uh, what do we do now?"

Li Pu checks Bu Bu’s condition, finding nothing serious.

But perhaps this barrier is just too strong for it, making it seem unable to gnaw for now, in need of some rest.

The key point is its limits clearly demonstrated; it can’t chew a passage big enough for them.

"No worries, there are still ways to exit."

Master Jie reveals a slightly relaxed expression.

"There are total three methods."

"First, wait for Teacher Nan to modify the barrier."

"By then he will obtain partial control of the barrier, certainly able to create a return passage."

"Second, defeat the barrier’s seal; it will naturally disappear."

"But... this seems unlikely."

"Third, I find flaws from inside and locate a suitable passage."

When he finishes speaking, Li Pu silently adds a fourth in his mind.

That is to grow Bu Bu to gnaw out a passage.

"For now, I think our primary task is to explore."

Master Jie surveys the inner world of the barrier.

Here lies green mountains and clear waters, with an artificial sky and sun – a complete miniature world indeed.

Previously, both he and Nan Guan assumed there might be internal pattern lines on the barrier wall, but now inside they find nothing.

It seems to belong to the category of barriers where rune arrays are hidden somewhere.

Whether wanting to escape or completing tasks, exploration is their immediate priority.

"Alright, let’s set off then."

Thus Li Pu sends his summoned beasts ahead.

He and Fu Fu stay to the left and right, guarding alongside Master Jie.
