Chapter 910 - 598: Shamelessly Formidable Foes

Chapter 910: Chapter 598: Shamelessly Formidable Foes

"Congratulations, junior! Keep it up."

"Now you’re just one round away from qualifying."

As Li Pu stepped off the stage, Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng offered their congratulations and encouragement.

Actually, on the tournament stage, the rules are quite strict for Summoners.

Not only is there a limit on the number of summoned beasts, but you’re also prohibited from releasing them in advance.

Li Pu’s strategy in this match perfectly exploited the weaknesses of a Summoner.

Basically, other contestants also use this approach against Summoners.

At the same level, either you take the opponent down at the start, or wait until the Summoner releases the summoned beasts, which usually seals the fate.

"Next, it’s all about luck."

Li Pu said this in response to the seniors’ encouragement.

"Indeed, none of the contestants in the third round are weak."

Liu Jisheng’s expression was slightly serious.

"Hopefully, luck will favor you and you encounter a not-so-strong opponent."

"Or perhaps another Summoner."

Fu Dusheng believed Li Pu, being a high-speed warrior, best countered Summoners.

"... Uh-huh."

Li Pu was noncommittal about this.

What he actually wished for was to face a high-intelligence magical beast as an opponent.

After all, once on the stage, he could openly take advantage of them.

The best case would be facing that 7-turn crocodile beast.

However, after waiting for a day, Li Pu was disappointed in his third-round opponent.

The opponent was a young warrior from a different race, seemingly only two or three years older than him, from the tribe of Lenjo.

Lenjo is the name this alien tribe gave themselves after settling on Blue Star.

In reality, their true name is the Multi-bodied Symbiotic Tribe.

"This... is low-key cheating."

Upon seeing his opponent in front of him, Li Pu felt it was somewhat excessive.

Because this Multi-bodied Symbiotic Tribe is essentially a conjoined entity.

Three legs, four pairs of hands, and two heads left and right — strictly speaking, they should count as two brothers.

Even their aura is clearly split into two.

And the intensity is consistent, both at 6-tier level.

Which means he’ll be facing an opponent that’s 6-turn + 6-turn.

"You’re strong, we’ve seen your fights before, hmm hmm."

"We hope for an exciting duel, ha."

"You can call us Hummel and Haeh." ×2

The brothers were fairly friendly and came forward to shake hands before the match.

Their faces were very similar, but their temperaments differed.

Hummel had a buzz cut, a strong expression, and a full beard, appearing very masculine, talking in a calmer, elder-brother-like manner.

While Haeh’s features were evidently more handsome, with bangs, belonging to the very good-looking type, and his eyebrows seemed slightly groomed, appearing to care much about his appearance.

"Hello."

"Li Pu."

Li Pu was also very polite.

He wasn’t entirely sure about how the brothers controlled their body, only knew they extended one hand from the left and right each for the handshake.

"..."

Li Pu helplessly crossed his hands awkwardly to shake with them.

The force was strong.

Just from this point alone, he knew the opponent was not to be underestimated.

[Beep]

[Beep]

[Beep... Bam!]

Both sides opened up the distance amicably, then the bell sounded.

Li Pu’s first reaction was to charge at the opponent.

"Hmm?"

But to his surprise, the opponent charged as well.

"Let’s have a bloody battle, Hummel and Haeh!" ×2

The brothers’ laughter was carefree.

Even though they had watched Li Pu’s matches, knew he could take down the Turtle tribe with a punch, they still unhesitatingly chose frontal collision, which showed they were confident indeed.

Boom!

Before the two sides clashed, Li Pu first launched a Thunder Slash.

He had no obsession about resolving things with physical confrontation alone.

However, the Thunder Slash hit accurately, yet only resulted in a laugh from Hummel.

"Refreshing, Hummel!"

One of their pairs of hands formed a special Dharma Seal, and lightning-like runes surged upon them.

It seemed that this strange Dharma Seal and runes nullified the lightning damage.

"..."

Seeing this, Li Pu could only remain silent.

Just now, he used the double-force Thunder Slash, but failed to cause damage, instead losing some Spiritual Power.

In an instant, they reached melee range.

Not being affected by the Thunder Slash failure, Li Pu activated Hardening on his left leg and kicked directly at the opponent.

This kick was absolutely fast, fierce, and hard.

"Break, Ha!"

However, with Ha’s loud shout, their pair of hands formed a new Dharma Seal, while another pair crossed to block in front.

Swish!

A barely perceivable beam of light instantly lit on Li Pu.

Then he was surprised to find... his Hardening had invalidated.

Smack!

When his foot collided with the opponent’s arm, he felt a technique that dissipated the force.

Looks like this guy is skilled in physical techniques as well.

"Ssss, quite a strength, Hummel."

The brothers were kicked seven or eight steps back by Li Pu.

They shook their hands, feeling they were close to losing sensation from the pain; in a moment, a large bruise would likely appear.

But with another Dharma Seal, healing white light swept over them, and they soon recovered significantly.

"Looks like your attacks can’t be taken head-on, Ha."

After healing, Ha brushed his bangs with one hand and gave Li Pu a thumbs up with the other.
