Chapter 702: Chapter 496: S-Class Magical Beast Attack_2
"This is tough, junior."
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Jisheng completed his detection of the wraith.
5th turn S-level, LV80.
"Interesting."
Li Pu cracked his knuckles, suddenly intrigued.
Even without Bub and the little ugly wolf, he felt that their current strength wasn’t incapable of a fight.
"You..."
To be honest, it was at this moment that Liu Jisheng truly began to take Li Pu seriously.
Because if it were any other student, the first thought in such a situation would definitely be to find a teacher.
But seeing the other party’s stance, he actually wanted to fight this guy?
It’s known that among the top entities in the summoner circle nowadays, it’s often not those geniuses who became famous at a young age.
Or to put it another way, those geniuses who became famous young, the vast majority of them never become top summoners of the Federation.
Why can’t they reach the top despite starting early and fast?
The reason is simple, it’s mentality.
The cohort of top summoners all have a pure heart and firm belief.
In this moment, Liu Jisheng felt he saw this kind of purity and determination in his junior’s eyes.
This is exactly the kind of talent he’s been looking for!
"Advanced high-grade magical beasts..."
But the next thing Li Pu said almost made Liu Jisheng fall: "They should drop some good loot, right?"
"Uh."
Liu Jisheng was left speechless on the spot.
Is the belief that propels this guy to face difficulties without retreat really just about getting loot?
This... A heart purely in pursuit of benefits could arguably be considered pure too?
He could only comfort himself with this thought.
"Junior, then you better be prepared."
Having comforted himself, Liu Jisheng decided to accompany this junior in trying.
Facing a 5th turn S-level LV80 unknown wraith without their summoned beasts, to be honest, he wasn’t confident.
"Maybe this entire training ground will be destroyed."
But since the junior wasn’t leaving, he certainly wouldn’t either.
"No worries, I’ve already got insurance."
Li Pu stated casually.
He had learned from past lessons and had purchased relevant insurance the first time he entered the training ground at Imperial University.
Just fight and break things, he wouldn’t have to pay anyway.
[Cao!]
Under his command, the scarecrow charged forward first.
As it got close, it activated [Entangle] with a thought.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several jade-like thorny vines shot up from the ground, tying the wraith up like a zongzi.
These vines were of extraordinary quality, even emitting a faint green glow.
Liu Jisheng raised an eyebrow at the sight.
Despite repeating a grade for many years, such a high-quality [Entangle] was a first.
Thanks to Li Pu’s careful cultivation, the scarecrow’s [Entangle] had now reached A-level LV5.
Other than the level and the user’s strength difference, it was just as good as the Climbing Wall Vine’s entangle.
"Huh?"
But before Liu Jisheng could express admiration, he saw something strange.
The scarecrow had not only tied up the wraith but also itself in the same manner.
"Tudou, go!"
But now was not the time to dwell on this, Liu Jisheng immediately commanded the pangolin-drill.
[Tudou Tudou!]
The pangolin-drill obediently dived underground on command.
And within less than a second, it burst out from beneath the wraith’s feet, curling up and charging at it.
"This..."
Li Pu was taken aback.
He had heard that some earth-burrowing summoned beasts could gain speed boosts underground.
But this speed was unbelievable, almost like [Blink] wasn’t an exaggeration.
Bang!
The pangolin-drill seemed to use some skill with tremendous force, crashing into the wraith, snapping the binding vines and sending it flying like a cannonball.
But what puzzled Liu Jisheng was that the pangolin-drill seemed to suffer from a strong counterforce, flying backward at almost the same speed.
Bang!
As it hit the ground, it was immediately left dazed and dizzy.
While the wraith merely flexed its joints and tore off the remaining vines on its body, clearly unharmed.
[Caicai!!]
The rainbow fox from the other side let out a sharp cry, condensing all its colors into a rainbow ribbon, spiraling towards the wraith.
This move was one of its aces, extremely fast and at tricky angles.
Even if you wanted to dodge, you couldn’t predict the final landing point of the rainbow ribbon.
Boom!!! x2
Explosions in rainbow hues erupted directly on the wraith.
But there were two explosions, as the rainbow fox, now turned into a white fox, was also caught in a similar blast.
"This..." x2
Li Pu and Liu Jisheng glanced at each other, both having an epiphany.
If such an easily identifiable rainbow explosion was missed, that would be foolish.
This wraith seemed to have the ability to replicate attacks.
Any attack it received would be mirrored back to the attacker.
The scarecrow’s vines and the pangolin-drill’s impact earlier had been the same.
But it was apparent that the wraith didn’t endure these attacks unscathed, at least the rainbow fox’s explosion left slight cracks in its mercury-like body.
Summoned beasts could revive, but it couldn’t.
Purely trading blows wouldn’t be a loss, especially since they had healing on their side.
"Senior."
Li Pu wanted to call out to Liu Jisheng to cooperate, but suddenly heard the wraith roar.
[Moon in the Water, Flower in the Mirror!]
An invisible wave instantly spread across the training ground.
Then Li Pu saw Liu Jisheng’s eyes lose focus for a moment before regaining clarity.
But immediately after, he witnessed something bizarre.
Liu Jisheng actually pulled out his mechanical gloves and donned them, then drew a card.
"Hehehe, junior, I won’t lose to you this time."
He looked into the void ahead and uttered these words.
This line was what he said before every match at the card table that day.
Li Pu was intriguingly puzzled by this.
[Shh!]
The cyborg on the other side made its signature move.
Then tiptoed in circles on the spot, occasionally glancing around, unsure of its intent.
The pangolin-drill, Fu Fu, and No. 2 all displayed similar behavior.
They all entered a state of confusion.
The pangolin-drill burrowed underground, Fu Fu lay on the ground alternating between black and white sleep, while No. 2 was making boastful remarks to an unknown party.
[Ouch ouch!]
Suddenly, the cyborg’s hand lit up as it chopped its own arm.
A small section of its arm fell to the ground, spraying blue liquid.
"You’ve actually won again, ugh!"
Over there, Liu Jisheng clutched his chest with a muffled groan, with blue blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"At what point would you have to lose for it to make you vomit blood..."
Seeing this, Li Pu suddenly felt disinclined to play cards with him.
If one day he really angered him to death, what would he do?
[Cao!]
The scarecrow’s puzzled voice indeed confirmed Li Pu’s suspicions.
It seemed that only it and Li Pu remained unaffected, indicating an illusion state.
The wraith must have launched a large-scale illusion, but perhaps being in a state of reincarnation made it lack threat, or it momentarily didn’t want to harm them, so both Bub and the little ugly wolf remained unaffected.
Looking at the wraith now, it stood dumbly in place, appearing defenseless.
"Now we should seize the opportunity."
Li Pu walked straight up to it, finding it still motionless.
He extended a finger, flicking its forehead.
Thud!
Sure enough, it hurt his finger.
[Caocao!]
The scarecrow, free from its own vines, also came over and gave the wraith a kick.
[Cao!]
Both it and the wraith fell backward simultaneously.
But even so, the wraith still didn’t wake up, lying rigidly on the ground.
"Since that’s the case, you can’t blame me."
Li Pu found things suddenly becoming feasible.
This S-level LV80 beast seemed not so hard to deal with after all.
