This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 490 393: Placement Test II

The Hedou exchange student likely belongs to the type that is very confident, hence why they were the first to step on stage for the test.

At this moment, they quickly attracted attention from the surroundings, leading to a buzz of conversation.

"Wow, impressive."

"Daring to be the first on stage, such courage is commendable."

"I think I've heard about this guy before, he's quite famous in Hedou University's first-year students, though I can't recall his name now."

"But the senior sister on stage isn't to be underestimated either, right?"

"No worries, just one look at his summoned beast and you can tell it'll counter that senior sister."

It seems most of the exchange students favored the one from Hedou.

Bang!

As soon as the test began, a stunning scene unfolded.

One punch.

The punching monkey simply swung a fist at the half-beast's shield, and the opponent was knocked down directly.

"What on earth is going on…"

Wu Guinan's expression turned sour on the spot.

If Li Pu hadn't pulled him back in time, it might have been Egg Turtle getting knocked down right now.

"Something's up with the monkey's gloves."

Li Pu noticed something was off.

"You're quite sharp, how did you even notice that?"

Long Ren was initially stunned, but went on to explain.

"Have you heard of the shockwave effect?"

"The punching monkey's gloves are embedded with shockwaves."

Li Pu had heard of this shockwave effect before.

It's similar to a sound wave attack, both are pure physical wave attacks.

The difference lies in that shockwaves are almost silent, as they transmit mainly through objects rather than air.

If Li Pu hadn't been born with naturally sharp hearing and was close enough, he wouldn't actually hear the sound.

Shockwaves are particularly effective against heavy armor and the like.

The thicker and harder the opponent's armor, the better the effect.

Thus, Wu Guinan along with most people's judgment was wrong; the punching monkey not only isn't countered by thick-skinned and fleshy enemies, but in fact counters them.

Although the shield bear half-beast quickly got back up, due to taking a heavy hit initially, its bodily functions were largely impaired, even if it dropped the shield and switched to barehanded combat, it still quickly got defeated.

The second round of summoned beast duels was the same, originally the Hedou exchange student intended to use the fast yellow chicken to hold back the cumbersome robot.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had a missile lock skill directly, one wave of bombing annihilated the yellow chicken, and even the arena was left in ruins, its height dropping a level.

"I just feel… today's event isn't just about the preliminary test."

"Seems like there's a bit of an intimidation element too."

At this point, Wu Guinan finally sensed it.

"Haha, isn't this normal."

"Actually, the student council simply wants to use this opportunity to give exchange students a bit of a lesson."

"To let everyone know they have to follow Imperial University's rules when they come here."

"For instance, not causing trouble, attending classes properly, and such."

Long Ren shrugged with a smile.

"How could this be."

Li Pu seemed to hear something that was life-threatening.

"Looks like you, Mr. Make-up Exam, haven't learned your lesson yet."

Wu Guinan shook his head at the words.

"I'll just start revising earlier next time, but you should work a bit harder yourself."

Li Pu's comeback hit deeper.

At least he wasn't the one going to class every day and still flunking.

"Let's go, let's check out other arenas."

This topic made Long Ren's ribs faintly ache, so he quickly changed it.

Thus, the three of them wandered between the arena zones.

The Hedou exchange student's defeat hadn't dampened the morale of the other exchange students.

After all, they are all the top students in their schools, psychologically resilient and not easily influenced.

As they walked, Li Pu and his group found that among the many arenas, one had particularly many people around it.

Quite a few exchange students were intentionally or unintentionally passing or approaching it, most of them male.

The reason being the Imperial University student on that arena is a very beautiful girl.

It's just unfortunate that these three guys only had eyes for the summoned beasts.

"Huh? Long Ren?"

"What are you doing here?"

As they just happened to pass nearby, the Imperial University girl on the arena called out to Long Ren.

She was already attracting a lot of attention, and with her shout, she instantly drew everyone's focus to the three of them.

"Long Ren? Long Ren from Imperial University?"

"Why is he here?"

"Even if he came, he should be the one defending the stage."

"What's up, is this guy famous?"

"He's one of the top ten first-years at Imperial University, very strong!"

"I see."

"Wow, that guy next to him with a limp looks quite cool."

"The guy next to the one with the lame leg wearing a green hat looks pretty lame."

Not many people pay attention to the Southwest Star Cup since the Southwest region has always been considered remote and receives very little attention.

In this circle, Long Ren is more famous than Li Pu.

But as usual, the one who got hurt again was only Wu Guinan.

"A friend I made in Xidu, also an exchange student."

"It's nothing, you carry on."

Long Ren waved his hand to indicate that the other person shouldn't mind him.

"You're quite something, you rascal."

Wu Guinan nudged him with his elbow.

But Li Pu's attention was still on the stage.

Because he saw that this girl had summoned three creatures as well.

And judging by the aura, they seemed to be either nearing full level at the first transformation or just recently entered the second transformation.

"How about it, this person's not bad, right?"

Noticing Li Pu's gaze, Long Ren came closer.

"You might not believe it, but she's also in our grade."

"Not only one of the top ten but also among the top three."

"Her name is Qian Shanshan, she's the one I mentioned before—the one among the three monsters I thought I couldn't surpass."

"As for now, well, in a little while, it will be hard to say."

That's how he introduced this girl.

"So, who's stronger between the two of them?"

Wu Guinan pointed at Qian Shanshan and then at Li Pu.

"Well..."

Long Ren pondered for a moment and looked at Li Pu, "In terms of being a freak, he's definitely more of a freak."

"..."

Li Pu felt as if he was being insulted somehow.

"But even if it's you, you should seriously deal with Qian Shanshan."

Long Ren had already assumed that Li Pu would step onto the stage.

Because each stage actually has additional points set by the student council, the stronger the defender, the higher the additional points.

Besides the personal performance score of the exchange student, this test will also include the stage bonus points. Only the one with the highest total score will receive a reward of 10 points.

The written exam requires solving additional questions.

The vice president had already introduced this rule earlier.

At this moment, Li Pu didn't respond to Long Ren but instead assessed Qian Shanshan's three summoned beasts on the stage again.

One of them was a fire element with blazing flames, resembling a genie from a lamp in form.

Such a summoned beast, as long as it's not S-rank, can be easily beaten to the ground by a Scarecrow.

The second one was a raptor covered in durian-like spiky scale armor.

Though its name includes 'dragon,' technically, it doesn't belong to the dragon category.

They belong to another large category, the Beast class.

This raptor was tall and fierce, just squatting quietly and watching the battle with a predatory gaze.

But Li Pu believed that in the face of true dragon attributes, it might not be as fierce, and the little wolf had a great chance of winning against it.

Qian Shanshan's third summoned beast was currently the protagonist on the stage, competing against the exchange student's summoned beast.

This was a spectral-type summoned beast that resembled Bai Youyou. If Bai Youyou was a little more cartoonish, then this one was more mature, wielding a scythe and chasing the opposing summoned beast to cut wildly.

Spectral types don't need much comment. A mental attack from Bobo might be enough to crush it instantly.

So the final conclusion is, he could easily handle Qian Shanshan's summoned beasts.

"I surrender!"

In the blink of an eye, the exchange student on the stage reluctantly admitted defeat.

Three matches, three losses, and even using Tian Ji's horse race strategy, he didn't gain any advantage against Qian Shanshan.

"So, are you going up?"

Seeing the opportunity arise, Long Ren looked at Li Pu with interest.

Actually, he was quite eager to see Li Pu VS Qian Shanshan.

Coming here, could he possibly be just cheering on? Of course, he came to watch the show!

His words even drew Qian Shanshan's attention.
