Chapter 909: Chapter 597: Summoner’s Weakness_2

"When you put it that way, it does seem to make sense."

Fu Dusheng touched his chin in agreement.

[Gurgle gurgle bo...]

The second summoned creature of Old Turtle Horse was a sludge.

Yes, that’s right, it appeared as just a puddle of sludge.

But this sludge could move, could make sounds, and was bubbling—a living creature, it seemed.

"An elemental life form?"

Li Pu guessed the answer from the distinctive bubbling sounds.

Elemental life forms also have a long lifespan, theoretically even infinite.

Pairing it with such an experienced Summoner seemed fitting.

"It should be something in the swamp element direction. I’ve seen it from a distance before."

Liu Jisheng crossed his arms.

Swamp elements may appear weak, but they are actually quite strong.

It can serve as an assistant and also become the main attacker in a slow-paced fight.

This summoned creature possesses certain spatial and engulfing attributes.

In regular battles, it can affect and alter the surrounding terrain, creating a muddy slowdown area, even with binding effects.

Occasionally, it can attack bodily, trapping the target in a swamp, gradually engulfing and swallowing them.

"Let’s have a fair match."

Upon seeing the opponent’s summoned creature complete its release, the female Summoner finally spoke up.

"..., is this person really the deputy head of the adventure team?"

Li Pu slightly furrowed his brow, looking at Fu Dusheng.

"Haha, isn’t this the arena?"

"In their Eagle Zone, they emphasize this kind of posturing."

Fu Dusheng also found it somewhat unnecessary.

This isn’t a friendly match; everyone is here for victory.

Because on this arena, the more you win, the more the prize money increases.

Each win awards 10,000 Crystal Coins.

The final top ranker receives an additional reward of 2 million.

Clearly, Old Turtle Horse thought the same way.

Just as the opponent started speaking, the swamp element beside it suddenly moved.

[Gurgle gurgle bo!]

To be precise, the shadow beneath the female Summoner’s feet moved.

The once normal shadow suddenly transformed into a person-swallowing swamp.

She realized that her feet were being sucked in.

Then... her body began to slowly sink!

"You despicable old thing, where’s your chivalry!"

The female Summoner immediately became angry.

She attempted to use [Flash], but was shocked to find the swamp even had a silencing effect.

[Explode explode boom!]

The nearby explosive man hurriedly reached out to pull her.

But discovered the swamp’s suction power was exceedingly strong, impossible to shake.

It turned out that Old Turtle Horse’s swamp element was not an ordinary swamp element.

But rather an shadow-attributed Shadow Swamp Element!

Think about it, who would have a mediocre 6-turn summoned beast?

Possessing some special abilities is normal, right?

[Knight, Charge!]

Realizing she could not free herself, the female Summoner decided to let the unicorn, armored puppet in tow, charge toward the opponent.

Attempting to defeat her opponent before the situation became irretrievable.

However, Old Turtle Horse remained unperturbed, retracting his head and limbs into his shell.

[Gurgle gurgle bo!]

Then the swamp element flattened out, transforming into a vast swampy terrain, rendering the unicorn highly uncomfortable.

As for the undead beast, it seemed to possess some cultivated special skill, barely affected by the swamp.

It even stood upright, carrying Old Turtle Horse as it ran away from the enemy.

"Oh ho ho ho, the Summoner’s weakness is none other than the Summoner themselves."

Old Turtle Horse’s voice echoed from within the shell.

"I advise you to surrender earlier, or else..."

During the escape, it continued to threaten the opponent.

"Or else the sludge will fill your mouth and nose, seeping into your body, until you are completely filled."

Despite being a quite normal statement, the audience below found it unsettling no matter how they heard it.

But admittedly, this threat was effective.

"I, I surrender!"

As the sludge was about to reach her chin, the female Summoner finally couldn’t hold out any longer.

This damned sludge seemed anything but ordinary sludge!

In the end, the duel ended with the female Summoner’s surrender.

So Li Pu’s next opponent was confirmed to be that old Turtlemare.

Once the tournament began, it wouldn’t stop, and it was planned to last for five days and nights until a champion emerged.

So after the three of them took a break, they returned to watch the matches.

During that time, Li Pu saw many powerful competitors.

Among those, three particularly caught his attention.

One was a middle-aged Summoner, who, judging by his hair color and eye hue, likely hailed from the European District.

When this person took the stage, he simply summoned one creature to completely crush his opponent.

It was a 7-turn summoned creature, resembling a golden chalice, from which a remarkably powerful Undead Warrior, also 7-turn, could be released.

According to Liu Jisheng, the nature of this Undead Warrior was quite similar to a Void Giant.

It was something bound or imprisoned within the chalice.

Another was a serpent-tailed, human-bodied creature from a different race.

The weapon was a flute carved from gemstone.

Originally, Li Pu thought this individual’s attack method would be a Sound Wave Attack, but surprisingly, they used the flute to perform Short Staff Technique, easily defeating the opponent.

Apparently, this person was hiding quite a few true skills.

This individual’s aura was also 7-turn.

The last one was a crocodilian beast said to be a descendant of an ancient mythical beast.

It had a crocodile-like head and tail, but its body was structured like that of a tiger or leopard, with a nimble body covered in spiked scales.

This high-intelligence magical beast’s aura was also 7-turn.

Li Pu was most concerned with this one, hoping to fight it.

But whether it would meet him in the tournament, and when, was uncertain.

Because after the round with the old Turtlemare, all contestants would redraw for positions.

For now, what he needed to focus on was the opponent, the old Turtlemare.

About two days later, it was finally his turn for the match.

Li Pu, still wearing his iron ghost mask, faced off against the old Turtlemare.

"Ho ho ho ho, young man, take it easy on this old skeleton."

Before the battle began, the old Turtlemare spoke up to show goodwill.

Likewise, it paid attention to Li Pu’s previous battle against the Sea Urchin Eye.

The opponent appeared to be someone adept in both close combat and magical arts.

However, it believed that by simply deploying its swamp element and pairing it with another summoned creature, victory would be within reach.

"Okay."

Li Pu nodded, his face sincere.

This display made the old Turtlemare secretly chuckle to itself.

It couldn’t believe its luck that the ghost-faced youth was as naive as last round’s human.

[Beep]

[Beep]

[Beep... Clang!]

However, the moment the gong sounded, it realized it had been wrong.

Tremendously wrong.

Because as soon as its vision blurred, the opponent had already appeared ghostlike right in front of it.

"O-Overconfident!"

This situation made the old Turtlemare instantly retract itself into its shell.

The opponent was so deceitful, pretending to agreed just to cause Paralysis!

If it had prepared early...

But no worries, its tough shell was definitely enough to last until its summoned creature was released.

The most crucial thing now was to quickly activate the storage space!

Yet at that moment, it heard Li Pu mumbling in a voice only audible to both of them.

"The weakness of a Summoner is the Summoner themselves."

Clearly, this was him retorting with the phrase from the previous round.

Damned curiosity made it reveal its eyes, and then it saw the opponent’s third black hand on his shoulder was already clenched into a fist.

On the fist, there was a slight force of spatial distortion.

What, what is this?!

The old Turtlemare had barely 1 second to ponder, then saw the fist land down.

Bam!!!

Li Pu, using a 4th-stage Gravity Field Black Claw Fist, directly punched through the old Turtlemare’s shell, hitting its flesh.

"Puh!!!"

It spewed blue blood, rolling its eyes back and fainting on the spot.

"Hmph."

Initially intending to land a second punch, Li Pu stopped upon seeing no more response from the opponent.

A Summoner, huh, ptui!

Oh, I forgot, I’m a Summoner too, my apologies.
