Chapter 457 - 377: Bubu’s Second Evolution (Part 2)
"What the heck... you grass puppet."
Guan Heshi was dumbfounded by this sight.
A grass puppet that’s resistant to lava?
Never heard of it!
Should I borrow it someday for research?
"What are you doing, so rude."
Li Pu, on the other hand, was a bit dissatisfied with the grass puppet’s behavior and directly landed a heavy punch to the back of its head, knocking it over.
"Sorry, teacher, I’ll handle it."
While apologizing to Guan Heshi, he picked up the grass puppet.
Then he grabbed its head and feet and began to twist it forcefully like wringing a towel.
Drip drip drop...
Droplets of lava water were squeezed out from the grass puppet’s body, dripping back into the glass container.
[Grass! Caocao!]
Grass puppet: There’s no more Summoner! Not even a drop left! This Ben Cao has been completely wrung dry!
The grass puppet, twisted like a pretzel, cried out in pain.
But Li Pu ignored its pleas for mercy, only letting go after ensuring it was thoroughly wrung dry.
"Phew..."
He looked at his palm full of lava and casually picked up a cloth from the table to wipe it off.
Sizzle...
In an instant, the cloth turned charred black.
"Uh, it’s already absurd enough that the grass puppet is lava-resistant."
"Why aren’t you afraid either?"
Guan Heshi found it a bit hard to swallow.
This lame one, maybe he also needs to be researched someday?
While ranting, his hands were busy continuing to measure data for Bubu.
"Huh?"
But when he saw Bubu’s strength level at 450+, Guan Heshi was stunned.
"What grade is this big-headed small kangaroo?"
His mouth slightly agape, he looked at Li Pu.
Although the instrument had already indicated it was a C+, it was still hard to believe.
This strength is almost comparable to an A-grade summoned beast!
"C+ grade, what’s the matter?"
Li Pu looked puzzled.
"Then it must be equipped with ten pieces of divine weapons, right?"
Guan Heshi’s mouth remained open.
Some summoned beasts have special innate abilities, allowing them to equip more divine weapons, which is possible.
Apart from this, he couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.
The strength is way too damn high!
Even his own summoned beast at full level after the second transformation wasn’t this strong!
"Just two C-grade divine weapons."
Li Pu answered truthfully.
Currently, Bubu is equipped with [Golden Armor] and [Heart of Lava].
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Guan Heshi was silent.
Usually, unless in special situations, the strength of a summoned beast mainly consists of three parts: physical quality, spiritual power intensity, and innate abilities plus skills plus divine weapons.
For a C+ magical beast, the physical and mental aspects aren’t that high.
And now, with only two C-grade divine weapons, it means this big-headed small kangaroo must be exceptional in terms of innate abilities and skills.
(Could it be... it possesses an S-grade skill?)
Guan Heshi even speculated.
But he didn’t know that Bubu’s highest skill was just A+, only.
The one truly possessing S-grade was that grass puppet twisted into a pretzel shape and yet to recover.
"Sometimes I forget you’re a student in the cultivation program, not in the Cube Card program."
Guan Heshi looked deeply at Li Pu.
Some things involve others’ privacy; if they don’t voluntarily mention them, he won’t ask.
But he did have some thoughts silently.
Looks like he should interact with this little guy more.
When he gains great fame in the future, being his class advisor and Cube Card student would bring him glory when talked about.
Boasting in front of old friends would surely be no issue.
"Alright, we can start now."
After gathering all the data, Guan Heshi calculated using the formula in the plan and got the amounts of transmutation materials needed.
"Let me show you a trick."
After mixing the special pigment materials, he picked up a brush.
A true expert draws the transmutation array directly by hand.
After about ten minutes, a complex and exquisite transmutation array was completed by Guan Heshi.
The transmutation array was circular, with a diameter of about 5 meters.
Li Pu couldn’t understand the patterns on it, but after staring at it for a while, it felt as if the array was an invisible mouth about to devour something.
Then Guan Heshi placed the materials and related instruments in strict order.
"Are you ready?"
The switch to activate the transmutation array was in his hands.
Li Pu didn’t answer directly but looked at Bubu.
[Munch munch!]
Bubu quickly finished the carrot in its hands and indicated it was ready.
"Alright, teacher, let’s begin."
Li Pu nodded.
"Then here we go."
Guan Heshi smiled slightly and pressed the button.
Buzz...
Accompanied by dazzling purple light transmitting through the connection lines into the transmutation array, a slight shockwave, though invisible, but with thrust, spread out.
Li Pu instinctively took a few steps back, and then saw a vortex-like black point emerge in the center of the transmutation array.
The black point quickly expanded, enveloping the entire transmutation array in no time.
He looked at the hair on his arms rise, all pointing toward the black hole.
It seemed that this black hole had some suction.
"It’s a temporary black hole entity with space-swallowing characteristics, and the corresponding transmutation trigger materials are inside."
"As long as a qualifying summoned beast jumps in and grasps some of the essence of the devour attribute inside, it can complete transmutation and gain the devour attribute."
Guan Heshi explained.
"It looks kind of unsafe inside."
Li Pu craned his neck and peered inside, saw nothing, as if the black hole was bottomless.
[Grass!]
Grass puppet: Summoner, this hole looks terrifying!
"How should I put it."
Guan Heshi pondered and seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, these are actually part of the transmutation materials needed."
Saying that, he took out a stack of resurrection charms.
"If one unfortunately perishes inside, just revive and try again."
"Until transmutation is completed. As for how long it takes, that depends on its own fortune."
Guan Heshi spoke calmly about something terrifying.
"Uh..."
Li Pu looked at the number of resurrection charms, which were at least dozens; it seemed like the situation inside the black hole might indeed be dire.
[Munch~]
Bubu: Brave kangaroo, not afraid of hardships!
However, Bubu straightened its body without a trace of fear.
[Caocao!]
Grass puppet: If you drop in, Kangaroo, best not to come back!
The grass puppet on the side cheered it on in time.
"Undergo good transmutation, I’ll give you a nice carrot when you come out."
Li Pu ruffled the kangaroo’s large head, now that’s what you call real encouragement.
[Munch munch!]
Bubu: Summoner keeps his word!
This lit up Bubu’s eyes, and it jumped directly into the black hole.
Splash!
Ripples spread across the black hole’s surface, swallowing the small kangaroo, leaving no further movement.
"Will anything happen?"
Li Pu watched the calm black hole, feeling a bit uneasy.
Even though Bubu can handle things on its own, he couldn’t help but worry.
"It primarily depends on the summoned beast’s compatibility with the devour attribute, related to its insight, character, physique, and habits."
"The higher the compatibility, the faster the transmutation speed and the greater the benefits."
"Don’t worry, it’s alright."
Guan Heshi assured, indicating not to overthink it.
In this situation, it wasn’t suitable to leave, and there wasn’t much special to do by staying.
So Guan Heshi straightforwardly asked Li Pu for card game advice.
For a while, the roles of teacher and student were switched.
As time passed, more than half a day later, without using even a single resurrection charm, the black hole suddenly showed fluctuations.
"Looks like something’s up."
Guan Heshi immediately put down the cards and looked at the transmutation array.
"..."
Li Pu slightly furrowed his brow, staying silent.
It seems he sensed something through a mental connection.
