Qian Shanshan: It includes physique, spiritual power, endurance, resistance, and so on.

Qian Shanshan: Its wonderful use is vast, and it can even temporarily augment a Summoner's spiritual power to meet contract standards.

Wu Guinan: ..., the amount of information in one glance from you is just too much.

Wu Guinan: And, this is clearly a television set, what dance machine?

Wu Guinan: With that body figure, what dance can you perform?

Wu Guinan: Really makes one can't help but roast.

It's like comparing a turtle to a tortoise, oddball to oddball, these two really share a common channel.

[Broadcast started! Broadcast started!]

Just as the two exchanged eye contact, Li Pu saw the television set wobbling side to side.

Then the unseen electric waves transmitted onto Gu Zhe's body.

"Hmm...!"

This scene might seem unreliable, but looking at Gu Zhe's appearance, it seems oddly effective.

Originally tall and sturdy, his figure once again defies science and swells a bit more.

The dimensions of his muscles visibly enlarged.

The aura of the person grows stronger.

Yet at this point, it's still not enough.

He immediately summoned his second creature.

[Electro Bo~]

"Electric element?!"

Upon its appearance, Wu Guinan instantly recognized it.

Unlike others and the ugly little wolf, it was an elemental summon beast, proper and serious.

The shape of a chubby slime formed by lightning.

Qian Shanshan: Gu Zhe's electric element is more of a support type.

Qian Shanshan: It can stimulate Gu Zhe's body temporarily to further tap into potential.

Qian Shanshan: Moreover, it allows his attacks to carry electric properties within the time limit.

Qian Shanshan: If that fist hits, it surely won't feel good.

Beside her, Qian Shanshan used eye contact to explain again.

Unfortunately, no one was looking at her this time, unsure who she was explaining to.

[Fire Electro Bo!]

Seeing that electric slime jump in place and spew out a continuous pillar of lightning.

Zap zap!

The electric power from the lightning seems significant enough to cause Gu Zhe's body to shake uncontrollably.

But soon, he adapted to it.

Covered entirely in blue electric light, his hair stood on end.

"Sorry for the wait."

It was only then that Gu Zhe once again faced Li Pu.

Though the preparations took some time, the gains he acquired were quite substantial.

"Let's go."

Li Pu motioned with his hand toward the other.

What's worse than bringing a powerful aura is bringing electricity.

He wasn't afraid, okay?

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the opponent disappeared.

It's [Blink].

This was Li Pu's ideal use of [Blink], aimed for attacking.

It made his evaluation of this Gu student go up a few notches internally.

Seems like a person who definitely knows their stuff.

In that fleeting thought, he sensed a forceful wind coming from his back.

Originally, with the [Blink] behind him, the opponent could directly attack his vulnerable parts such as the back of the head or neck.

But Li Pu felt through the wind pressure that the opponent merely chose to attack the back, a relatively less injurious part.

(Didn't go all out, a good kid.)

His goodwill rose again within.

Thus, he decided to let the opponent punch first without retaliating.

With his reflexes, of course, it wouldn't be difficult to fight back.

But Li Pu decided to only activate the back [Hardening].

Bang!

Just in the instant when [Hardening] completed, the opponent's fist landed on him.

(The force is pretty good too.)

Li Pu stumbled involuntarily, taking several steps forward to stabilize himself.

Even his back felt quite painful, comparable to a fierce blow from a powerful magical beast.

"Huh?"

But just as he was expecting a stormy chase to follow, there was silence from behind.

Turning around, he found Gu Zhe restored to his original form.

"I-I think my bones broke...!"

Grabbing the right hand that he punched with, he wore a visibly pained expression.

"What the heck, hit someone else and ended up fracturing yourself?"

"Didn't pay attention in fight class, did you?"

"Don't you understand the proper way to punch?"

It was then that Qian Shanshan could finally speak.

Despite her words, she was just saying them.

Gu Zhe's grades in fight class were the best in the entire grade.

Grasping basic things like the right way to punch was impossible for him not to know.

She could only say Li Pu was truly baffling; just him getting hit could still injure others?

This boy is truly a treasure, knowing him for a month and still being surprised by him every time we run dungeons!

"Probably because that punch was too strong."

Wu Guinan discerned the hidden reason.

Indeed, he was right.

The whole tree man could battle evenly with Gu Zhe, but solely in terms of the power of this blow, he's nowhere near Gu Zhe's level.

Perhaps Gu Zhe had not encountered a foe this tough before, or did not expect Li Pu to be this sturdy.

Thus leading to a lapse where he forgot about the backlash force issue.

"But you... why do you know my homeroom teacher's exclusive skill?"

However, what Gu Zhe cared more about was noticing the change in Li Pu's skin color just now.

This concern even allowed him to forget about the pain.

[Hardening], due to its difficulty to learn and rarity, is something very few Summoners possess.

To his knowledge, his homeroom teacher was the only one with this skill, which was why he chose him.

To think a skill that he hasn't had the chance to touch appeared in Li Pu's possession.

And judging by that brief moment just now, the degree of mastery was high, seamlessly opposed to the notion of someone who just learned it.

"Well..."

Li Pu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

It was then he recalled Li Fan, once a student at Imperial University, indeed mentioned it took a lot of effort and persuasion to learn [Hardening].

Also remembered that he hadn't seen Li Fan in a while, unsure of where the teacher went.

...

The monthly exam for Cube Cards major ended in just half a day.

Ah Yajun unsurprisingly secured the first position in the grade.

This prompted a small sense of relief in him, relieved that Li Pu didn't choose the Cube Cards major for the monthly test.

Also glad that only when Li Pu is around, he's the runner-up.

"Hmm!"

Feeling this, he clutched his heart, feeling stifled.

People passing by couldn't help but cast concerned glances.

Unaware of this young man's situation, wondering if there was an onset of heart disease.

Ah Yajun found himself on Seven-Star Street in Imperial City.

A street dedicated to matters concerning Cube Cards.

"B-grade cards, B-grade cards, top-quality B-grade cards!"

"A complete set of 6+1 control style, 100,000 Crystal Coins packaged for the go!"

"Balanced cards, balanced cards, all I have are balanced cards!"

"Exchange A-grade cards for premium B-grade cards, don't miss out when passing by!"

The street was filled with vendors calling out their goods.

Aside from that, small shops were open with displays.

Standing outside, one can see the gleaming cards displayed within.

Some cards projected vividly were playing roles in advertising.

Though not a large place, it held hidden talents.

Today, Ah Yajun's aim at being there was to replenish his card pool.

Recently through Zhi Liao's experience in the Cube Card dungeon, he learned a lesson.

He shouldn't just stick to sturdy cards, it's time to prepare other styled deck types.

Ahead, he saw a man standing in the middle of the road.

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking very worn.

From his somewhat messy attire, he seemingly just returned from the beast area.

As he approached closer, Ah Yajun heard murmurs from him.

"Hoo hoo hoo... I finally made it back!"

"Just you wait."

The two passed each other without any interaction.

Thinking that there were indeed many lunatics on the street these days.

...
