"Wow!" xN
The students were in an uproar at such a situation.
The match had just begun, and the scarecrow had already lost an arm.
With such a clear disadvantage, how could they continue to fight?
He Hehe smiled broadly upon seeing her summoned creature succeed.
Indeed, an early win isn’t everything. Who would have thought that within just a month, the champion would fall by her hand?
With just a single slash, the opponent’s arm was severed.
Wouldn’t the next slash just cut off the scarecrow’s head?
Her true intention wasn’t completely just to spar.
More precisely, it was to defeat Li Pu.
Now, seeing the scarecrow so vulnerable in the face of the blade, He Hehe imdiately changed the command.
At any cost, slash off the scarecrow’s head with the next strike.
After all, now that everyone is near the sa level, the scarecrow no longer has its previous level advantage.
Even if it gets hit a few tis, so what?
The tal attribute magnetic field is there, serving as natural armor!
Moreover, with Teacher Chen present, He Hehe wasn’t worried at all that the scarecrow’s head would really be chopped off.
As long as Teacher Chen intervened, it would an declaring her the winner of this spar, achieving her goal.
On the other side of the battle circle, Teacher Chen glanced at Jiang Guiju and shook her head with a smile.
This well-known student in the third grade seed a bit unworthy of her reputation.
To hesitate at such a clear difference indicated a lack of decisiveness.
Teacher Chen had already stood up, ready to end this battle.
Because what she saw was a completely one-sided situation.
If things went wrong, she would have to step in.
It’s just a regular spar between students; there’s no need to use a revival charm.
"..."
Beside He Hehe, Li Pu remained calm, but, unlike usual, he also used telepathy to give the scarecrow a command.
[Dadao!]
The mantis, upon receiving the command, raised its blade once more.
Although the scarecrow was humanoid, its body structure differed significantly from a normal person.
One major difference was that it didn’t have a neck.
The head was directly connected to the body, so chopping it off completely was a technical task requiring precision.
Additionally, without the acceleration from a running start, this slash from the mantis was much slower than before.
Not just the scarecrow, even other summoned creatures might have had a chance to dodge it.
However, the scarecrow seed completely oblivious to the attack, raising its sole remaining arm to strike the mantis.
("Success!")
Seeing this scene, He Hehe felt joy instead of worry.
Based on usual combat experience, this slash from Dadao would undoubtedly chop off the scarecrow’s head!
Teacher Chen, should be about to intervene, right?
At that instant, all her attention was focused on Teacher Chen within her peripheral vision.
("Huh?")
Yet she found that the teacher remained completely still.
Hesitating, in that fraction of a second, He Hehe hesitated.
If Teacher Chen didn’t intervene, the scarecrow’s head would be severed.
Even now, no intervention?
The scarecrow’s going to die!
The montary hesitation was useless, as He Hehe’s telepathy level wasn’t enough to instantly alter the summoned creature’s action.
So...
Splurt!
A grass head flew up, spinning a few circles in mid-air.
"Ah this!" xN
To the freshn, such a scene was slightly grueso.
After all, many among them still hadn’t had the qualification to engage in life-or-death battles with magical beasts in the southern forest, aside from competition day.
[Grass!]
Oddly enough, at that mont, the scarecrow’s stomach let out a resounding shout.
"Inexperience."
Seeing the mantis wide open without any defense, Teacher Chen pursed her lips.
She hadn’t intervened to stop the spar, and she had her reasons.
Ever heard of the saying: like wildfire, it survives everything?
Although strange and weak, scarecrows had a remarkable trait of being hard to kill.
You’d have to burn it to ashes or chop it into pieces.
rely chopping off the head does nothing.
Their heads are empty!
Or rather, the head is just an illusion, the species doesn’t truly have a head!
This might sound like an insult to the scarecrow species, but it’s not.
On the contrary, it’s an acknowledgnt.
It’s acknowledging the scarecrow’s tenacious life force.
Evidently, Li Pu knew this too.
In previous battles, the scarecrow’s head had been blasted off by magical beasts more than once.
The command he just gave the scarecrow was straightforward.
It was simply—to punch.
[Grass!]
Accompanied by that shout, the scarecrow’s fist smashed into the mantis’s face.
Thwack!
The collision of fist and face produced a heavy, resounding sound.
With the addition of [Willpower], the scarecrow’s strength was now even slightly more formidable than before reincarnation.
[Dadao Poo!]
The mantis was sent airborne, spinning in place three tis.
Slap!
Then it crashed to the ground, motionless, its fate unknown.
"..., huh?"
Teacher Chen was the first to react.
She anticipated that chopping off the scarecrow’s head wouldn’t kill it, thus she hadn’t intervened.
However, she didn’t expect the scarecrow’s punch to puml the mantis into that state!
How could a re LV11 scarecrow possess such great strength?!
Moreover, scarecrow punches were typically soft and lacked power, yet the sound just now suggested otherwise?!
Judging from the degree of neck twist during the mantis’s spin earlier, it’s hard to say if it’s alive or dead!
[Grass-grass!]
Witnessing the headless scarecrow making sound from its belly and intending to continue its assault, Teacher Chen snapped back to reality.
Whoosh!
"This spar ends with Li Pu’s victory."
The next second, she had grabbed the scarecrow with one hand.
After announcing the result, she inspected the mantis’s condition.
Fortunately, it was only knocked unconscious... but...
"Teacher, is my Dadao alright?!"
By this ti, He Hehe had already rushed over.
She had long forgotten about the outco, now solely concerned for her summoned creature’s status.
"Nothing serious."
Teacher Chen shook her head, reassuring He Hehe while casting her gaze at the scarecrow.
Despite missing an arm and a head, this battered creature seed a lot like the loser.
Then, she looked at Li Pu.
How did this freakish scarecrow, capable of toppling an opponent with a level and magnetic field advantage with just a punch, get cultivated?
Then she glanced at Jiang Guiju.
Had this young girl known about the scarecrow’s uniqueness all along, prompting such a reaction?
The onlooking students finally began to discuss.
"Mamma mia, was that a turnaround?"
"So the scarecrow doesn’t die even if its head gets chopped off?"
"Hey, what happened? I just went to the bathroom."
"It just started and now it’s over."
"Even after only leveling up by 1 in a month, that scarecrow is still monstrous..."
After a little while, the mantis awoke.
A summoned creature is a summoned creature, its physique remains strong.
However, transford back to its insect form, the mantis had a swollen cheek.
[Laolao!]
With even her speech affected, she was on the verge of tears.
Mantis: Summoner! I think that scarecrow had rocks in its punch!
