Chapter 914 - 600: Fifth Transition Plan

Chapter 914: Chapter 600: Fifth Transition Plan

After stepping down from the stage, Li Pu immediately received admiring glances from the audience.

It’s important to note that advancing to the fourth round means you’re considered a top-tier fighter even abroad.

Except in particularly dangerous circumstances, he could move about freely almost anywhere.

"Great job, junior, you’ve now truly earned your spot in the qualifiers."

"Impressive, kid, taking down an opponent all on your own."

"If you don’t want to compete in the next round, just take it easy, and we can head back home."

Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng came over, patting him on the shoulder.

"No, no, I still need to take it seriously,"

Li Pu waved his hand repeatedly.

He wanted to take the competition seriously until he faced the crocodile beast.

This time the three of them chose not to go back to rest, staying where they were, planning to watch the entire upcoming matches.

The number of participants dwindled as the tournament progressed; Li Pu estimated that at most, they would wait another day before it was his turn.

Additionally, the three 7-turn competitors he was interested in all smoothly advanced to the third round.

In past tournaments, it was rare to see 7-turn level competitors, and for three to appear this year was quite an event.

With their strength, it would be absurd if they couldn’t make it to the third round.

Another reason Li Pu stayed behind was to watch the performance of these three competitors.

Starting from the third round, each round had random draws on-site, so the fourth round was no exception.

It wasn’t long before the first 7-turn competitor stepped up, a 7-ring Summoner.

This middle-aged man from the European region faced an alien opponent wielding a bow and arrow.

The alien was covered in a red shell, had no neck, and its hands were claw-like.

It resembled a walking crab-man, though a crab has two eyestalks, and this one only had one.

The alien’s aura was equivalent to beyond 5-turn but not yet at 6-turn, so Li Pu didn’t pay much attention to it before.

However, reaching the fourth round suggests it’s not weak either.

When the crab-man saw that his opponent was the middle-aged man, his expression turned as bitter as could be.

The middle-aged man seemed to know his opponent’s capabilities well, standing with hands behind his back, exuding calmness.

[Beep]

[Beep]

[Beep... Buzz!]

As the gong sounded, the crab-man swiftly widened the distance.

During his retreat, his bow remained fully drawn, ready to shoot the moment the opponent opened their storage space.

But the middle-aged man’s actions were somewhat unexpected.

He merely watched his opponent with a smile, taking no action.

"..."

Eventually, the crab-man couldn’t hold back any longer and released the bowstring.

Boom!

Li Pu expected to see an arrow light shoot out, but instead, the arrow transformed into a pillar of fire.

He also expected the middle-aged man to dodge, but to his surprise, the man merely reached out his hand.

This scene had the air of picking chestnuts from the fire.

Clang!

With an unchanged expression, the man reached out to meet the fire pillar and seemed to grab something inside it.

The flame from the fire pillar engulfed him.

However, in less than a second, it extinguished, as if it never existed.

As for the man enveloped by the flames, he was completely unharmed.

A long arrow reduced to a charred, coal-like state was grasped in his hand.

"Remarkable,"

Li Pu exclaimed from below the stage.

Indeed, a 7-ring Summoner is never simple.

No wonder the senior mentioned that the appearance of a 7-turn level in this tournament almost guarantees a top rank.

Before witnessing this, he thought this opponent among the three 7-turn fighters might be the one he had the best chance of defeating.

But it seems now that isn’t the case.

He felt that the man’s physical prowess was not much inferior to his own.

In the face of 5 or 6-turn opponents, the middle-aged man had no so-called Summoner’s weakness.

However, failing the initial strike didn’t dampen the crab-man’s fighting spirit. Since he was on stage, he decided to fight to the bitter end.

The Archer’s agile footwork was then on full display.

Constantly changing positions, firing a variety of arrows with different attributes and modes.

But without exception, each was neutralized by the middle-aged man, without him even summoning a creature.

"The footwork is quite fast, a bit troublesome,"

The middle-aged man, keeping his eyes on the opponent, stroked his chin.

His Saint Cup Knight wasn’t adept at small-range, agile movements, dispatching it might take longer.

So...

Buzz!

Whoosh!

He opened the storage space, and a small silver object no larger than a teapot flew out.

"A mechanical summon beast..."

Li Pu’s dynamic vision immediately identified it.

A metallic pyramid-shaped small floating device.

Each side of the device had a recessed energy emission crystal, presumably for energy attacks.

Just as he wanted to carefully sense the aura of this small device...

Whoosh!

Another identical floating device flew out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon after, three, four, five appeared, turning into thirty to forty small devices floating around the middle-aged man like an asteroid belt.

"Wow, this swarm tactic is several times better than mine,"

Fu Dusheng’s eyes sparkled at the sight.

"It seems it’s not just a swarm tactic..."

But Liu Jisheng perceived it more deeply.
