This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 368 - 336: Official Entry of New Members (2)

Chapter 368: Chapter 336: Official Entry of New Members (2)

Now, this pact can be said to be completed, or it can be said to be incomplete.

Only if he doesn’t get struck to death by lightning, can this matter be considered thoroughly concluded.

If another Summoner were to encounter this situation, they’d probably not die but definitely be skinned alive.

But who is he? He is Li Pu.

"Well, it seems just about right."

With a smile, he used [Imitation] to copy the [Source of Lightning] onto himself.

"Come on! Let the storm hit harder!"

Li Pu stepped out from under the canopy and raised his hands to the sky.

Since there was no one around, he went ahead and did a little performance.

[Roar bop bop bop bop bop!]

The little wolf followed him and stuck its cloudy butt towards the heavens.

[Damn!]

Scarecrow: These two guys are mad!

[Chirp chirp~]

Bubbu: Electric toasted marshmallow head~

Rumble rumble!

It seemed to respond to Li Pu’s call; the thunder in the sky grew more intense.

Blinding white flashes sparkled through the clouds.

Crack!

The first bolt of lightning was as thick as a barrel.

Though its path twisted and turned, it finally landed on... the Scarecrow.

Boom!

[Damn?!]

The powerful bolt even pierced through the lightning rod-equipped canopy.

"What the hell is this..."

"Am I just that unlucky."

Seeing the Scarecrow on the ground with a slightly blackened, smoking head, Li Pu was dumbfounded.

[Damn damn damn!]

Scarecrow: I didn’t do anything wrong, why hit me!

Even the Scarecrow was furious.

[Chirp... chirp...]

Bubbu, already hiding on the side, was a bit tempted to try the taste of caramel sweetness but was afraid of getting struck by lightning.

"Isn’t it that thing though."

Li Pu suddenly remembered something.

Perhaps this [Iron Bone] has some electricity-attracting properties?

Plus, the Scarecrow just naturally has a bad face, this could be why it got struck.

So he quickly signaled the Scarecrow to remove the artifact, otherwise getting struck a few more times might cost it its life.

The Scarecrow took commands well and acted immediately.

[Damn ah ah ah ah ah ah...]

But the delay in removing it cost it another hit.

Boom!

[Damn!!]

Clang clang...

The Scarecrow got struck down again, the [Iron Bone] rolling out of its hand to the ground.

"..."

Li Pu took a few steps forward to quickly store the [Iron Bone] in his stash.

"With this done, it should be my turn to get hit now, right?"

Even though he was prepared, the two missed hits above made his anger boil slightly.

He felt like he had been left hanging after taking his pants off.

He really wanted to experience the effects of the [Source of Lightning].

Rumble!!!

This time his wish was finally granted, and the lightning struck him accurately.

In the past, electric shocks always carried a twinge of pain, but now, it was distinctly different.

Li Pu just felt like a breeze from the heavens was gently blowing over him.

This breeze wasn’t one that could cause pain.

"So that’s all there is to it."

Standing atop the mountain, he crossed his arms, calmly and slightly proudly enjoying the mountain breeze.

Except... it was a bit chilly.

That’s right, while humans oppose electricity, clothes do not.

His clothes got zapped off.

If at this time any Southwest Star Cup personnel were present, they would definitely marvel at Mo Saike’s true reputation, running to the mountain top to pull such a stunt in the dead of night.

Moreover, they might have to edit his moniker to "Big Mo Saike."

Currently, he didn’t have many resources on hand, so Li Pu could only promote Chou Bo to LV5.

Then he didn’t delay much, tidied up the site, and descended the mountain to return to the dorm.

After all, he had a card tournament to take part in tomorrow.

...

The next day, the arena was packed with people.

The number of card tables had further decreased, and the holographic projections doubled in size.

Now there were only 128 players left in the cube card track.

Almost enough to call them the top 100 players in this event.

Such card games naturally were of higher quality and more exciting.

So they attracted even more spectators than usual.

Even many stall owners, who were previously outside doing business, had closed up shop just to watch the event.

Today’s schedule was the round of 128 to 64, and then 64 to 32.

In the morning, it was the round of 128 to 64, with Li Pu’s drawing position being towards the back, so he could only start off as a spectator.

During the ongoing schedule, the red-haired girl he previously favored with the Fire Mage card deck and the muscular guy with the Big Brother card deck, both advanced to the next round.

The red-haired girl’s situation was quite thrilling; the Fire Mage deck encountered a targeted Water + Ice Beast deck, but with outstanding card skills and a leading deck strength, she still secured the victory.

As for the Big Brother deck muscular guy, it was much smoother.

The glistening muscular card laid bare would instantly disgust the opponent, immediately taking a three-point advantage in psychological games.

However, what surprised Li Pu was the encounter between Ah Yajun and Bai Jing.

Bai Jing had come in second in his group after a brutal fight and had risen from the losers’ bracket.

Since then, he had been unstoppable, crushing opponents match by match.

Perhaps learning a lesson from Li Pu, he seldom held back in any match now, always choosing the most robust card from his deck that suited the circumstances.

Meanwhile, Ah Yajun took the steady approach, repeatedly achieving victory through a different style of dominance.

Unlike Bai Jing’s waves of strong attacks, his style was more systematic; seemingly not strong, but leaving no weaknesses for others to exploit.

If Bai Jing’s style was swift and despairing, then Ah Yajun’s was slow but suffocatingly heavy.

Due to his card skills, Ah Yajun had become incredibly reputed in this edition, with Li Pu’s Mo Saike being just a small fry in comparison.

Bai Jing, as a platinum-level player, also had huge attention.

His demonstrated strength in the knockout rounds made it impossible not to regard him as a hot contender for the championship.

The unexpected loss to Mo Saike during the group stage was seen by everyone as Bai Jing’s slip-up.

Now with only 128 card players remaining, two championship favorites meeting wasn’t really surprising.

Li Pu and his companions happened to be close to that table, so there was no need to change positions.

But visible to the naked eye, the number of surrounding spectators increased, with many people even prepared to stand just to get a glimpse.

The final result turned out unexpectedly well, yet it also wasn’t unexpected.

The unexpected part was Bai Jing, in facing Ah Yajun, showed no resistance whatsoever.

He was restrained and stomped at every turn, losing without even having Ah Yajun reveal his trump card.

The expected part was that although Bai Jing had been fierce, he had exposed too many key cards in previous matches.

On the other hand, Ah Yajun’s approach bore resemblance to Li Pu’s: avoiding new cards whenever possible.

Plus, he had a master-ranked homeroom teacher giving him lessons these days.

A mere platinum rank genuinely didn’t count for much in a master rank’s eyes.

This background led to Bai Jing being easily countered by Ah Yajun.

Thus, the match was remarkably exciting but less intense.

After this game, the swarm of surrounding spectators gradually dispersed.

But shortly after, Jiang Guiju received a call, quickly left, then hastily came back.

When she returned, she had a few sets of documents in her hands.

"Senior, what’s this?"

Seeing Jiang Guiju hand the materials over, Li Pu was puzzled.

"Just after that game wrapped up, this edition’s players had only 100 left."

"So this is a freshly-baked top 100 directory created by intelligence dealers."

"I’ve heard this time, several major intelligence dealers collaborated to make it, and it’s incredibly accurate."

"They even ranked you 100 players."

As she introduced the document, Jiang Guiju handed a similar one to Chang Shoushang, then picked up a copy for herself.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Pu’s interest was piqued.

Regardless of who it is, in such a situation, they would be curious about their ranking.

He picked up the document, flipped over the first page...

Flipped over the second page.

Turned to the third page.

Turned to the last page.

"What the hell kind of crappy list is this."

And then Li Pu cursed.
