This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Regarding this attitude, Liu Jisheng expressed understanding. He also invited Li Pu to join his adventure troupe during the summer break to explore foreign lands and experience the customs of other races.

Li Pu was intrigued by this proposal.

After all, since that incident last winter, he no longer dared to return to his home at the research institute. Moreover, he wasn’t sure if Lab 1 had repaired the institute. So, for the summer, he didn’t have any specific plans and was originally planning to work at the farm again.

However, he neither agreed nor refused the invitation to join the troupe temporarily, planning to decide after wrapping up matters with the Huazhong Cup.

The next day at noon, he ascended the arena to face Fu Dusheng.

In the audience, Liu Jisheng and Chen Hualang still sat together.

"Fu Dusheng... is not someone easy to handle."

Looking at the two standing in the arena, Chen Hualang’s face was serious.

In just a few days, she had been recruited by Liu Jisheng.

She signed a contract to join his adventure troupe after graduation.

If she only had [Wolf Transformation] and a team of 5 wolves, she wouldn’t meet Liu Jisheng’s standards.

But her display of a second transformation had led Liu Jisheng to reassess her strength.

If it weren’t for Li Pu, he believed Chen Hualang had the potential to at least enter the top 8.

"However, his kangaroo and owl haven’t made a move yet."

"I feel there might still be hope for a fight."

Perhaps due to her loss to Li Pu, Chen Hualang was more eager to see him win.

"Winning or losing doesn’t actually matter."

"Besides me, probably no one else here can handle Fu Dusheng."

Liu Jisheng’s mindset hadn’t changed, even with his junior’s two summoned beasts not yet revealing their full strength.

He valued Li Pu’s immense potential rather than his current immediate combat power.

"But nothing is absolute, let’s see."

After pondering, Liu Jisheng ultimately refrained from making a definitive statement.

At this moment in the arena, the two were already settled.

"Li Pu, I’ve been watching you for a long time."

Fu Dusheng crossed his arms.

His entire body was wrapped in a large cloak, with only his head exposed.

From his facial structure, he was of the more slender type.

The cloak, though old, seemed to be made from the leather of some powerful magical beast, as judged by Li Pu.

Products made from the leather of powerful magical beasts often have many practical uses in the wild.

But it’s usually only those frequently active in the wild who would possess such items.

With his background in an overseas adventure troupe, it’s not surprising he dressed this way.

"Thanks for your concern, senior."

Li Pu nodded politely in response.

Actually, he had been particularly attentive to Fu Dusheng’s matches from the beginning.

After all, that Burst Soldier Style tactic was so distinctive.

Now standing beside him were his 5 summoned beasts.

One among them was an immobile summon, a mirror made of purple crystal.

It could continuously summon purple four-legged insects during combat.

From the previous few matches, it seemed there was no limit; if unimpeded, it would keep summoning.

A skeletal being, dressed in tattered mage robes and holding a Crystal Head Staff.

It was also quite immobile, but with each spell, it could summon dozens of skeletal soldiers.

Although these skeletal soldiers were fragile, their strength lay in their numbers, becoming a threat as they accumulated.

A slime that could split into four or five parts, and if the smaller slimes were shattered, they would split again.

The number of times it could split is currently unknown, as no one has managed to defeat it yet, so Li Pu temporarily didn’t know its exact weak points.

A large white queen bee, capable of laying seven or eight eggs at a time.

These eggs could hatch in about 60 seconds, and although a bit slow, the worker bees that emerged were quite formidable. Often, seven or eight together could fend off a level 4 full-transformation summoned beast.

The last one was a glowing unknown elemental capable of summoning meteors.

The meteors it summoned were small in size but quite numerous, even faster in production than the skeletal soldiers, nearly twice as fast.

After they landed, they would transform into small rock elemental creatures. Their existence was brief, turning into mere stones about 10 seconds later, but could shower down in waves.

These were Fu Dusheng’s 5 summoned beasts, embodying a one-man army Burst Soldier Style.

So far, none of his opponents had survived his first wave of eruption.

Li Pu couldn’t claim complete readiness, but he had at least prepared some contingency plans.

[Beep!]

[Beep!]

[Beep...Buzz!]

As the arena’s signal sounded, the battle officially commenced.

"Sorry, junior!"

[Eat the groove!]

"Ah?!"

Fu Dusheng was just about to issue commands to his summoned beasts when he saw a blue fireball hurtling toward him.

The fireball’s speed was so rapid, leaving a blue afterimage in the air.

However, being an experienced Summoner, Fu Dusheng quickly erected a [Barrier] in front of him.

(Targeting the Summoner first, his decision isn’t bad.)

(Unfortunately, this method’s been tried before.)

Fu Dusheng was aware.

Earlier opponents had also attempted the tactic of ’capturing the king first,’ but he had specially trained in many self-defense Summoner skills.

[Barrier], [Backlash Field], [Energy Absorption Shield], just stacking shields could cover him thrice without repetition.

Whoosh!

But just as the fireball was about to hit the [Barrier], it unexpectedly curved and grazed past it.

Bang!

[Rattle!]

Unexpectedly, the fireball exploded on the skeletal mage’s body.

"What?!"

What really surprised Fu Dusheng wasn’t the fireball’s curve.

But rather, the skeletal mage informed him it couldn’t cast spells anymore!

"It works."

Seeing the surprise attack succeed, Li Pu felt reassured.

The scarecrow’s innate ability, [Fire Ban], was finally proving immensely useful.

The unique sticking burn attribute of blue fire enhanced the silence effect to its fullest.

Watching the skeletal mage strip and roll on the ground, yet still ineffective.

Crucially, the scarecrow was cunning, letting the blue fire burrow into the eye sockets for prolonged burning, making it even harder to extinguish.

Even if someone tried to dig it out, their fingers would burn.

Moreover, except for the skeletal mage, none of Fu Dusheng’s summoned beasts had fingers.

"Hmph, even without the skeletal soldiers, my beast army is still effective."

Seeing the unextinguished blue fire, Fu Dusheng snorted coldly and shielded himself again.

[Meteor!!!]

At his signal, the meteor elemental roared.

The entire central arena was suddenly cast in shadow.

For a moment, the audience was filled with exclamations.

"It’s here! The Meteor Shower frenzy!"

"This Summoning Technique still feels astonishing even after seeing it multiple times."

"If you were present, it would probably feel like doomsday approaching."

"That’s not all, once they actually land, it’s truly the end for his opponents."

"The key is, these things descend in waves."

Previously, Fu Dusheng’s opponents mainly fell to the skeletal soldiers + small meteor creatures.

After all, even masters of area attacks have limits, and against sheer numbers, individual strength is negligible.

"Indeed, it’s this move."

But watching the scene, Li Pu remained unfazed.

With just a thought...

"Huh?!"

Fu Dusheng was shocked to discover that all his small meteor creatures stopped about 4 or 5 meters from the ground!

Li Pu had used [Gravity Field] Phase 2, and it was applied with a dual force.

This time, the dual force wasn’t to increase field strength but to spread the field as widely as possible.

The small meteor creatures only lived for about 10 seconds, taking 2 seconds to land, leaving just 8 seconds of active time.

[Little Meteor!] xN

But now they were all suspended mid-air, menacingly growling.

"This..."

"Impressive! How did he keep the meteors from landing?"

"This move is brilliant, effectively neutralizing them from the source!"

"What a spectacle, seeing so many stones float in mid-air."

This was the first time the audience saw such a solution to the meteor threat.
