"Huh? Is that a snake wrapped around your hand?"

Then he heard Li Pu's question.

Hidden Snake, a type of summon beast adept at camouflage and concealing its presence.

It's often used as a personal bodyguard by Summoners.

This is one of Ti Jiu's summon beasts.

"What?! You can really see it?!"

Ti Jiu was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth closed. Could this exchange student be teaming up with Long Ren to play a prank on him?

But upon turning his head, he saw Long Ren lying over there, seemingly so bored that he had fallen asleep with his mouth wide open, even wider than his.

"Your skill is really impressive."

Li Pu realized he could even see through the blue protective barrier and faintly see the Bulb beneath it.

This [True Sight] skill was quite practical, and he liked it.

"..."

Ti Jiu could only remain silent.

Undoubtedly, the other side had already learned [True Sight].

The time spent adding everything up seemed to be less than 2 minutes.

"Right, earlier you mentioned something you didn't understand."

Li Pu recalled the other's earlier inquiry.

"Uh, here..."

Ti Jiu froze for a moment, then snapped back, pointing it out in the book.

"This part is indeed a bit complicated."

Li Pu turned off [True Sight] and nodded in agreement.

If he hadn't learned the more complex [Hardening] skill initially, he might have spent much more effort on this tricky part.

"So that's how it is..."

Ti Jiu understood after hearing the explanation.

The joy of breaking through a difficult point with new knowledge calmed his inner shock.

He then asked a few more questions, all of which were solved one by one.

He even took the opportunity to ask about other difficulties he faced in summoner skills, which Li Pu mostly answered.

Honestly, some questions Ti Jiu couldn't even get perfect answers from his teacher.

Because he learned too many and too varied summoner skills.

Piles of useful and useless ones, some even bizarre skills like [Supreme Tongue] and [Saliva King] unheard of by teachers.

"I didn't expect that, Li Pu, it seems you have a knack for teaching."

Two hours later, Ti Jiu felt he had gained a lot.

"Haha, I'm doing okay."

Li Pu modestly shrugged.

Waiting for the two summon beasts to reincarnate was really boring, so having someone to spend the time with was nice.

In the field of summoner skills, he was indeed gifted, enough to impress Li Fan.

But the main credit for quickly grasping and learning skills each time was because of the dual-force power.

In the early stages of delving into dual-force, he had many unique insights into energy flow, etc.

This experience was something a normal Summoner couldn't have.

Plus, in the early stages, dual-force offered a considerable advantage.

While others took a full turn, he only needed dual-force to go half a turn.

"You're too modest." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Ti Jiu sought advice for so long, yet found no trace of pride or impatience on Li Pu's face, which made him admire him more.

The gap between their accomplishments in summoner skills wasn't just a little.

He couldn't even describe this difference.

In the presence of the top ten, he was Ti Jiu.

But in front of this man, he felt like he was Ti Jiu Jiu.

"Hahaha! S-class magic device! S-class skill!"

"Get used to it, numbness, just let it be."

"Join us."

Long Ren's disconnected sleep talk slowly aroused confusion.

Ti Jiu didn't understand the dream talk and was about to continue asking Li Pu questions when he suddenly felt a tight grip on his wrist.

[Hiss Hiss!]

The Hidden Snake on his hand was warning him of impending danger.

"Huh?"

This puzzled him.

The Hidden Snake was very keen, often alerting him to situations about to happen nearby, which helped him navigate the beastial realms.

But its warning within the campus was a first.

Could there be another dangerous monster here?

"Something feels off."

In the next second, Li Pu also furrowed his brows.

Buzz...

A few seconds after he finished speaking, a space-distorting rift started to slowly appear.

The situation left Ti Jiu at a loss, looking at Li Pu bewilderedly.

That's not right. His summoned beast had a natural sharpness, thus sensing danger elements ahead of time.

Who are you, also this sensitive?

How come I didn't feel anything?

Soon, Ti Jiu's attention shifted to the space-distorting rift.

"What the heck."

Even Long Ren woke up at this point.

"A monster attracted by reincarnation?"

Upon seeing the space rift, he seemed to understand something.

During summon beast reincarnation, it's sometimes envied by a few monsters.

Hoping to share the overflowing energy from their reincarnation, seize any items emerging, or even try to devour the summon beast itself.

Generally, such events only happen in beast realms or instances.

"It seems these two summon beasts of yours are quite something....."

Ti Jiu realized it too after such a reminder.

The fact that monsters attracted by reincarnation blatantly appeared on campus was unheard of.

Which proved that Bulb or Ugly Wolf's reincarnation was exceedingly attractive to them.

"So we just need to get rid of them, right?"

Li Pu remained calm.

In contrast, he even felt a slight sense of fulfillment at finally understanding his wish.

Including the Strawman's failed reincarnation, he always prepared to confront enemies during beast reincarnations.

But they never came until now.

As the three discussed, the space rift continued to grow, large enough for a person to pass through.

[Whoosh Whoosh...]

Then, an electric humanoid figure crawled out.

It was a humanoid monster, wrapped in electricity, like an electric man.

The only thing exposed was a beast-like mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Electric Devourer!"

Fortunately, Ti Jiu recognized this monster.

It's a beast supposedly capable of surviving in distorted space, possessing space-traversing power.

It typically feeds on natural electricity within distorted space. If it occasionally discovers delicious food, it will traverse here.

Its methods are quite bizarre, possessing an uncommon devouring attribute.

[Beep Beep!]

[C-Class, 3rd Reincarnation LV45]

Long Ren's watch squeaked with a mechanical report after targeting.

"The level is a bit high..."

Ti Jiu slightly furrowed his brow.

"Just treat it as a usual boss fight in instances."

Long Ren's expression was also somewhat solemn.

[Dragon Within Dragon!]

[Claw Gaga!]

The two summon beasts that were mingling with the Strawman earlier have placed themselves in front of him instinctively.

"No! Something's wrong!"

However, Ti Jiu felt his wrist tightening even more, signaling change in expression.

It felt as if it might clamp his wrist off.

Danger, indicating a greater threat.

[Grrrumble...]x3

Three more Electric Devourers crawled out of the space rift, walking on all fours.

Their four-legged stance gave them a beast-like pose, watching the group menacingly.

"This isn't something we can handle!"

"Stop the reincarnation, we might still reclaim some materials."

"We need to seek help from the teacher."

Understanding the severity and danger, Ti Jiu looked towards Li Pu.

However, he saw Long Ren retreating with his summon beasts, almost like clearing the battleground.

[Damn!]

Amid Ti Jiu's confusion, a resonant shout rang out.

Turning to look, he saw something odd approaching those Electric Devourers.

"What is that...?"

He couldn't make it out.

Is that thing Li Pu's Strawman?

It didn't look like this earlier!

"What the heck kind of strange, oh wait, what new trick's been developed now."

Even Long Ren admitted he hadn't seen them before.
