Until he walked out of the VIP room, Li Pu didn’t give the teachers a definitive response.
He felt that the outco of this tug-of-war wasn’t bad and that he had gained so useful information.
Among them, the inspiration given by the "Three-Turn Golden Root" was significant.
This essentially proved his previous speculation in the library that, although the scarecrow’s reincarnation limit was low, it could be improved through appropriate skills.
However, this matter wasn’t urgent; at least, the scarecrow’s first transformation wasn’t an issue and could be considered over the long term.
Just knowing that the "Three-Turn Golden Root" is already a D level skill, one can hardly imagine what level the "Nine-Turn Golden Root" would be.
Instead of hoping to directly acquire the nine-turn skill, it’s better to think of a way to progress step by step by rging skills.
"It seems that this ti, I have to continue to take first place."
Walking down the hallway, Li Pu stroked his chin.
From the words of the three departnt heads earlier, he received a fairly clear hint.
If he takes first place, there will be additional rewards outside of what was announced in the broadcast.
It was clear that the departnt heads wanted to further ignite his fighting spirit.
Whether they had said the sa thing to Fu Erdai was unknown.
After all, that guy seed to have been called to the VIP room as well.
Anyway, he is already in the final four and just needs to win one more match to at least secure a second-place baseline.
If he puts in a bit more effort, he should have a chance to get first place.
"Whether the scarecrow can confidently face that cricket now is uncertain."
While walking, Li Pu began to recall all the information he knew about the fire cricket.
Lost in his thoughts, he found himself standing on the platform for the final four.
However, this match’s opponent wasn’t Fu Erdai.
"Li Pu, good luck, avenge !"
In the audience, Wu Guinan was cheering with fists in the air.
Li Pu’s current opponent was the one who blocked Wu Guinan from the final four.
Who the opponent was didn’t matter; what mattered was that the summoned beast was a strong counter to the Rolling Turtle.
"Both summoning beasts, enter the arena!"
With the referee’s announcent, both summoning beasts entered the arena.
[Grass!]
The ground glimred, and the scarecrow was projected onto the platform.
Though the arena had various terrains, for fairness, everyone started at the central stone slab area.
The stone slab area was no different from the previous ordinary platforms; it’s only around it that various terrains encircle.
To take advantage of favorable terrain, you must lure the enemy to it.
If both sides cling to their terrain and the match becos a stalemate, both will be judged as losing and eliminated after a certain ti limit.
Li Pu was quite confident about his opponent in the final four, so he wasn’t worried about the terrain issue.
[Injection, injection~]
At the other end of the stone slab area, a light flashed.
A figure descended.
This was a humanoid summoned beast with bird wing-like arms and human legs, but with bird claws for feet.
Apart from that, she looked human.
She even looked quite pretty, dressed in a nurse’s outfit.
Since she had fought against the Rolling Turtle before, Li Pu paid so attention to her.
Many non-combat states of summoned beasts are related to human forms.
This bird girl was currently in a non-combat state; her true species was a summoned beast known as the Needle Bird.
The characteristic of the Needle Bird species is its needle-thin and exceptionally hard beak.
With their special body structure, they could continuously hit the sa target point in a very short ti.
The Rolling Turtle’s shell was tough; a single peck from that needle beak would only leave a white mark.
But with such a high attack frequency, every swoop down could peck it a dozen or twenty tis.
After several attacks, the Rolling Turtle’s shell was pierced through.
"Li Pu! You must take note!"
"Have the scarecrow stop it from taking to the skies at the start with all speed."
"Otherwise, if it takes the initiative, the match will be over!"
Wu Guinan, standing at the edge of the platform, loudly reminded Li Pu.
He vividly rembered how he lost the match just now.
"Got it."
Li Pu responded without much concern.
[Ding!]x5
With the bell sound ending, the battle officially began.
[Injection, injection~]
Accompanied by a flash of light, the bird girl’s form changed.
A massive bird with a wingspan of over two ters appeared, flapping its wings before the audience.
Its beak was needle-sharp and long, and its body was covered in beautiful erald feathers.
[Injection, injection~]
Uttering bizarre cries, the Needle Bird soared into the high sky.
The audience watching through the large screen began to discuss.
"I feel like this Needle Bird is a natural counter to the Scarecrow."
"That’s right, without any ranged ans, it’s impossible to deal with it."
"And its attacks are just too piercing; the Rock Turtle with such strong defense was easily broken by it."
"What a pity, I thought this Scarecrow could make it to the finals, but unfortunately ran into this."
"It seems only Fu Erdai’s fla cricket can handle this bird."
Though the Scarecrow’s previous performance was very strong, public opinion was against it.
The audience observed each match; no matter how powerful its punches were, they couldn’t send it flying, unlike the Rising Dragon Fist.
During the novice phase of Summoners, when everyone lacked ans, flying type summoned beasts indeed held an obvious advantage.
Therefore, to balance this, there are regulations for this platform tournant.
Unlike stalemate situations, if one side has a flying summoned beast, if the ti limit ends, the flying summoned beast will be judged as losing since it belongs to the proactive side.
Of course, this only applies to the freshman platform tournant; no such rules exist in real summoner tournants.
After all, being able to fly is a talent of theirs, and as each develops more ans, combat doesn’t necessarily favor flying types.
[Injection!]
Considering the current rules, the Needle Bird, after circling in the air a few tis, dived headlong at the Scarecrow.
"Here it cos!"
"The battle is about to conclude!"
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.
(Why didn’t he listen to , he was too careless!)
Even Wu Guinan, who was on Li Pu’s side, looked grim.
Yet contrary to everyone’s expectations, just before the Needle Bird got close, the Scarecrow made its move first.
It put one hand on its waist and pointed the other at the Needle Bird.
[Grass!]
[Inject?!]
With a thundering roar, the Needle Bird inexplicably plumted from mid-air!
And it did so headfirst, crashing into the ground.
Its long needle beak stuck deep into the platform floor, looking utterly embarrassed.
"Ah?!" xN
The sudden scene left everyone stunned.
