Chapter 642 - 469: The Top Ten Facing the Boss
"Is this... is this some rare Summoner skill?"
"Just touching your head can completely freeze someone."
"Head-freeze?"
Wang Fengmang looked at Ti Jiu with a suspicious expression; after all, Ti Jiu was the one most familiar with Summoner skills here.
"I haven’t seen it before; maybe it’s some kind of ice Summoner skill."
"But being able to freeze the Fire Wastes so quickly and solidly certainly requires a high level of Spiritual Power."
"His Spiritual Power depth might be greater than all of ours combined...!"
Ti Jiu’s expression showed both admiration and seriousness.
Admiration for the outstanding strength of big brother, seriousness for her own shortcomings in comparison.
"His Spiritual Power... is that high?"
Li Yilou wouldn’t doubt Ti Jiu’s judgment, so he was somewhat dumbfounded after hearing this.
"No wonder he was able to crush us in the monthly test; could it be related to this level of Spiritual Power?"
Liu Sha Fa murmured to herself beside them.
In fact, Ti Jiu’s guesses were both right and wrong.
Li Pu’s ability wasn’t any Summoner skill but rather an artifact he had equipped.
When he made a pact with the ugly wolf cub, he accidentally obtained the ability by consuming the [Attribute-less Core], which allowed him to equip the [Ice Earth Feather] acquired in the Western Icefield.
[Ice Earth Feather (F)]: Grants oneself ice attribute abilities
The ice attribute ability granted by this artifact is determined by Li Pu’s own Spiritual Power strength.
With his current level, rapidly freezing the Fire Wastes is not a difficult task.
This method can also prevent their self-destruction, which is much more practical than activating [Hardening] to withstand them.
However, freezing does not mean they’re dead; in the surrounding fiery environment, they’ll likely break free within a few minutes.
Therefore, Li Pu directed the incoming summoned beasts to use mid-range tactics to completely shatter them.
The shattered ice fragments on the ground pose no threat even if they self-destruct.
A few more waves of Fire Wastes emerged from other directions of the flame ruins, attempting to ambush, but the prepared team easily resolved them.
Finally, after 20 minutes, the frontal wave of Fire Wastes was entirely annihilated, restoring calm to the entire main road.
"This... is harder than imagined."
Even Qian Shanshan had to admit she underestimated this second-year dungeon.
If not for Bu Bu stepping up to turn the tide, their summoned beasts might have suffered losses in this wave of encounters.
Of course, the Fire Tongs Scorpion doesn’t count; its sacrifice was anticipated.
Fire Tongs Scorpion: Damn!
It wasn’t just her; others’ gazes also lingered on Bu Bu.
They all couldn’t believe the adorable, small-headed kangaroo contained such immense power within.
Especially during that final wave-clearing moment, when it transformed from wall-beating assistance to demonstrating unmatched group attack capabilities, surpassing all other summoned beasts present.
How was such a seemingly harmless yet aberrant summoned beast nurtured?
Thinking about Li Pu behind it, silence ensued.
Especially those who were only curious about Li Pu before, now showed signs of awe.
"Just with a single summoned beast, he influences the team’s dungeon battle outcomes."
"And with such strong personal capabilities, he managed to handle a horde of Fire Wastes alone."
"It feels like we’re experiencing a dungeon guided by a senior from the fourth year."
Small groups muttered among themselves.
Meanwhile, Qian Shanshan and Long Ren stood beside Li Pu, appearing as left and right Guardians, their faces filled with pride.
After a brief recuperation, the group decided to hold an impromptu meeting.
The premature and excessive appearance of the demon beast waves alerted them to an apparent anomaly.
Some proposed being conservative and retreating.
Others wished to press on without giving up too early.
Li Pu was among those wanting to continue; the 1 point meant a lot to him.
Upon voting, 9:3, the group decided to proceed.
Maintaining the previous formation, with summoned beasts leading and Summoners following.
To prevent further ambushes, Li Pu brought the ugly wolf cub and voluntarily took the rear of the team.
Ti Jiu volunteered to join him, intending to continue their earlier discussion about the teachings of [Gravity Field].
From Ti Jiu’s words, Li Pu understood the opponent’s current issue.
It’s not about skill proficiency nor innate talent.
But rather inadequate Spiritual Power to perfectly control complex energy paths.
To put it simply, the only solution lies in rapidly enhancing the summoned beast’s abilities to gain more feedback.
Then, he explained some key points for the first stage of [Gravity Field], greatly benefiting the other party.
"Big brother, now what level has your [Gravity Field] reached?"
Ti Jiu displayed a curious expression after listening.
"Attention! Attention! Demon beast attack!"
Before Li Pu could answer, Li Yilou’s alert sounded from up ahead.
Several red round flesh balls with bat wings flew rapidly toward them from afar.
Like the previous Fire Wastes, they were ablaze with raging flames all over.
"It’s the Bat Fire-type Elements!"
Ti Jiu shouted out their name.
"Elements?"
Li Pu was slightly taken aback.
Thus, Ti Jiu began explaining to him.
"Element-like creatures are demon beasts that closely resemble elements in many ways."
