This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 356 - 330: Fourfold Power [Willpower]? (Part 2)

Chapter 356: Chapter 330: Fourfold Power [Willpower]? (Part 2)

The fusion with the summoned beast only grants the physical traits and abilities of the creature.

However, to effectively engage in combat using this form, it requires the supplementary actual abilities of the summoned beast.

Thus, the name of this top-half skill is called "Borrowing Power".

It allows the user to copy a part of the summoned beast’s passive skills or innate abilities onto themselves.

"Borrowing Power" + "Possession" is her true complete version of "Possession".

Upon hearing this part, Li Pu was instantly invigorated.

Gaining a part of the summoned beast’s passive skills or innate abilities sounds similar to what he currently owns with "Imitation", yet there’s a slight difference.

Upon detailed inquiry, it turns out some abilities that do not conform to human form cannot be copied.

For instance, the scarecrow’s "Gratitude" and "Forgetfulness", because Li Pu is a Summoner, not a summoned beast, and he cannot reincarnate.

Or Bo Bo’s "Bag Toss", given that he doesn’t have a bag.

The most typical example would be the scarecrow’s "Dragon Repression".

"Dragon Repression": Reversely suppresses the dragon attribute field and temporarily seals the innate abilities of dragon-related targets.

Li Pu himself lacks an attribute field, which is one of the reasons he cannot use the summoned beast talismans.

Thus, the part "reversely suppressing the dragon attribute field" cannot be acquired through "Borrowing Power".

However, the latter part "temporarily sealing the innate abilities of dragon-related targets" can be achieved.

The same logic applies to skills as well.

He lacks wisdom-based energy, and naturally, he cannot borrow Bo Bo’s "Energy Feedback".

Just like the ways Xiuzang Jia demonstrated two different uses of "Borrowing Power" during the battle with Li Pu earlier.

The first was borrowed from her own summoned beast, the Unyielding Beast.

The Unyielding Beast is an oddly-shaped summoned beast whose biggest feature is the innate strong healing skill.

Thus, after taking a heavy hit from Li Pu, her broken arm and internal injuries could recover in an instant.

Of course, such a heaven-defying effect consumes a significant amount of Spiritual Power.

One can only say that a summoner of Xiuzang Jia’s level can withstand it.

The second skill, before Xiuzang Jia’s explanation, was unimaginable to Li Pu.

That was the innate ability of another summoned beast, the Martial Ape.

Martial-type summoned beasts are considered a relatively small branch.

They are naturally equipped with innate abilities related to punching and kicking, and Xiuzang Jia’s Martial Ape’s innate ability is automatic retaliation.

Thus, she could easily chat while retaliating simultaneously.

As Xiuzang Jia finished her introduction, Li Pu was already quite excited.

This "Borrowing Power" is even more tempting to him than "Possession".

Because it not only expands his combat methods but also fundamentally enhances his strength.

Once he learns "Borrowing Power", theoretically, he could copy "Willpower" from the Scarecrow once again.

Adding the Double Strength, combined with "Imitation", it would result in a total enhancement of fourfold strength.

Just the thought of such a scenario fills him with anticipation.

Following the scenario of a zero-reincarnated scarecrow overpowering a nine-reincarnated divine beast, could it be possible for him, as a Summoner, to overpower a nine-reincarnated divine beast?

In any case, Li Pu felt truly grateful to Li Fan tonight for meeting Teacher Xiu.

After the exchanges from both sides, Li Pu returned to his dormitory with the elemental beast contract plan provided by Li Fan.

After washing up, he first studied the contract plan.

The plan detailed the steps and materials needed to contract elemental beasts.

Upon a rough glance, its overall cost is not expensive.

As mentioned by Old Tu before, the most crucial material is the "Core of Null Attribute".

Besides that, the other materials are relatively fragmented.

The market has already closed for the night, and even if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t be possible to gather everything by casually strolling around.

Therefore, Li Pu decided to set it aside for now and handle it when he has time in the next few days.

Then he opened the "Borrowing Power" book given by Xiuzang Jia.

After carefully reading through ten pages, he understood why the book was so thick.

Because the book categorized the skills and characteristic abilities of summoned beasts into many small classifications.

Each classification corresponds to completely different points of attention and operational routes.

In other words, each of these categories is an independent Summoner skill.

What is called "Borrowing Power" is merely a general term for a system.

This system is composed of a plethora of Summoner skills, which can be called numerous "Small Assistance".

Li Pu found this fairly acceptable.

He just needs to master the "Small Assistance" related to the scarecrow and Bo Bo, or even the Ugly Wolf, without thoroughly digesting the entire book.

At least not currently, as there’s no need for it.

So he climbed into bed lying down, and started reading the book to study.

And successfully fell asleep in 3 minutes and 6 seconds.

...

The next day, Li Pu arrived at the competition venue on time.

According to the event schedule, today’s matches are the 512-to-256 and 256-to-128 rounds.

A few people went nearer to the table for the first match and casually found a place to sit down.

Since the card matches are different from the actual combat arena, the cubic card racing track does not sell seating tickets, only entrance tickets.

This time, they chose a relatively good spot, right in the middle between two gaming tables.

They could use the large screens on the gaming tables to watch card matches on both sides simultaneously.

Because they spent some time finding seats, one side of the card matches was preparing to begin when they sat down.

"Huh?"

Just then, Li Pu glimpsed one of the card players.

The boy wore the school uniform of Imperial University, with bronze skin.

On his uniform, he also wore some ethnic minority clothing, which was quite conspicuous.

The conversation of the neighboring audience filtered into his ears.

"It’s starting, it’s starting! You guys should really watch that Imperial University student, I’ve been following several of his matches."

"Why? What makes this boy so special?"

"Just being from a minority group? How could that make him better at playing cards?"

"Heh heh, you really don’t get it."

"I heard he’s the only one in this season’s cubic card racing track who can still use card skills."

"Eh? Card skills? Weren’t those removed with the version update?"

"I don’t know, but I’ve solidly witnessed it, he uses it in every round."

"Wow, that’s truly remarkable."

"Such a person really should have some blood drawn for proper research."

"Or pluck out some of his hair, Mediterranean-style."

"You can also collect his nails."

"...Why are you making it sound more like torture?"

Listening to their discussion, Li Pu was a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, his card skills do not show, so there’s none of that risk.

Moreover, since this Imperial University student could openly stand here using card skills, it indicates that it is not as terrifying as those few people make it sound, and must be recognized at many levels.

If he has card skills, and this boy also has card skills, then there must be a third, fourth, fifth person... many unknown lucky ones retaining card skills through this version update.

"Holy Light Bo Bo!"

As the card match commenced, a lively somewhat distinctive shout drew Li Pu’s attention back.

Blinding pure white light erupted from the card’s surface, gradually fading upwards.

Subsequently, a projection of a Stoutman clad in plate armor and wielding a Fine Steel Shield + Hammer appeared on the card surface.

"Oh?"

This card, Li Pu recognized.

The quirky Stoutman card is unforgettable after seeing it once.

Since that ranking match, he hasn’t encountered any card player using Stoutman cards.

Not mentioning a deck, not even a single card.

As the first round of cards was fully revealed, Li Pu saw the Imperial University student point towards one of the cards...

Buzz!

A spherical shield immediately enveloped the card.

"Is it him?"

At this moment, Li Pu completely recognized it.
