Chapter 651 - 473: Bubuli_2
[Of course, ka-ka-ka]
Seeing that Li Pu intended to do a 2V1, the Fire Skeleton agreed in one breath.
After speaking, it folded its arms across its chest.
Letting the opponent make the first move was part of its built-in program.
Otherwise, if it struck first, the fight might just end right away.
Seeing Li Pu standing off against the Fire Skeleton with Bu Bu, the teammates in the back started talking all at once.
Li Yilou: "He’s got guts, actually going up in person."
Liu Sha Fa: "Is his own combat power really that strong? Haven’t had the chance to see it yet."
Gu Zhe: "... Heh."
Wang Fengmang: "Actually, we don’t seem to have seen that little kangaroo’s full combat power either."
Wu Nianxiang: "This time, it doesn’t seem quite so boring anymore."
Ti Shi: "But this time, the opponent is just way too powerful."
Zhang Liuliu: "Yeah, overwhelmingly powerful."
Ti Jiu: "Big Bro’s probably done for this round."
Qian Shanshan: "Brothers, what do we think?"
Wu Guinan: "We believe."
Long Ren: "We believe."
To be honest, even Wu Guinan and Long Ren weren’t all that confident; they were just putting on a brave face at this point.
"Allow me to make a fool of myself."
Li Pu ignored the chatter behind him, nodded at the Fire Skeleton, then grabbed Bu Bu by the head.
[Eat eat eat!]
In the next instant, Bu Bu turned into a flash of light and vanished.
At the same time, Li Pu’s entire body was wrapped in that light.
[Possession]—this was a method Li Pu rarely used.
But in terms of personal combat power, it was also his strongest method, especially when he used [Possession] with Bu Bu.
When the light quickly receded, Li Pu revealed his new appearance after [Possession].
"Eh?" xN
Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw how he looked.
Where did that little kangaroo go, and what was up with that hat on his head?
It turned out that at this moment Li Pu’s appearance and physical traits hadn’t changed at all; the only change was that it looked like he was wearing a kangaroo hat on his head.
The tail of the hat was a bit long, hanging down to about the length of his neck.
In a certain sense, Bu Bu’s long-cherished wish of gnawing on his Summoner’s head had been fulfilled in this roundabout way.
[Ka-ka-ka, a fusion, huh. Interesting]
The Fire Skeleton immediately exposed the essence of Li Pu’s method.
"Damn side effects."
But Li Pu only closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose, muttering to himself.
Fusing with a summoned beast made it very easy to be affected by its consciousness.
Even though he had tried to harmonize their minds many times, he still couldn’t completely get rid of Bu Bu’s subconscious appetite.
So now, including the Fire Skeleton, everyone and every summoned beast Li Pu saw had... a carrot for a head.
Carrot-people, carrot-beasts, carrot-skeleton frames.
But the fact that he couldn’t shake off that subconscious also proved one thing.
Among the three summoned beasts that could [Possess], as a "wise" type, this one’s Spiritual Power was the strongest.
And the concrete manifestation was...
With just a single look from Li Pu, gravity instantly crashed down on the Fire Skeleton.
[Hm?]
Thud!
Caught off guard, the Fire Skeleton dropped directly to one knee.
"Whoa!" xN
Though it was just a simple movement, it still drew cries of surprise from everyone.
Because this was pretty much the biggest, and most awkward, movement they had ever seen from the Fire Skeleton!
[Such a powerful gravity field, ka-ka-ka!]
The Fire Skeleton seemed a bit pleased, feeling that this little cripple was stronger than that ogre it had beaten up earlier.
Which meant this was the best sparring partner it had encountered since descending into this skeletal body.
It tensed the soles of its feet slightly, ready to stand up against the gravity.
This situation had long been within Li Pu’s expectations.
So from the very beginning, he hadn’t planned to give the opponent any chances; he had to keep the tempo tight.
He reached a hand out to his side, plunging it directly into distorted space.
Normally, [Borrowing Power] alone could grant him some of a summoned beast’s innate abilities.
In [Possession] state, with his physique even closer to that of the summoned beast, he could obtain more of its inherent abilities.
Among them was Bu Bu’s [Toto Bag].
From a devouring-attribute perspective, this innate ability was essentially also a type of spatial power.
So Li Pu didn’t need to physically reach for a bag—he didn’t even have one.
He just needed to reach into the void.
[Eh?]
This kind of move instantly drew the Fire Skeleton’s gaze, making it forget to act for a moment.
Right after, they saw Li Pu pull out a glowing orb.
Then a second, a third, a fourth...
Every time he pulled out a light orb, he would immediately throw it at the opponent.
[Que-que!]
And those light orbs, while still in midair, would manifest according to his will into blue-light clones in attack poses.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was the clones’ cries, which also came from Bu Bu’s subconscious influence.
When they saw the blue-light Li Pu surround the Fire Skeleton and beat it up, Ti Jiu finally couldn’t help but exclaim.
"W-what kind of Summoner skill is that?!"
He said he had never seen this kind of move before; it was just too shocking!
"Hey, I’m serious."
Qian Shanshan stared in a daze while lightly smacking Wu Guinan with the back of her hand: "Why do I feel like he might actually pull this off?"
You had to know she had a certain level of understanding of Li Pu’s strength and Bu Bu’s methods.
Now it was basically like suddenly adding more than a dozen Li Pu—how could that damage output be anything but insane?!
Didn’t you see that Fire Skeleton already being stomped into the ground like crazy!
"Believe."
Wu Guinan looked at her with a solemn expression and only replied with one word.
"Believe."
Long Ren echoed.
In fact, let alone Qian Shanshan, who knew Li Pu relatively well, even Li Yilou and the others were all dumbfounded at this moment.
"Someone tell me what exactly is going on right now."
"Is this really the same Fire Skeleton that was just now grinding our summoned beasts into the dirt?"
"Why does it feel like... he alone is stronger than all of our summoned beasts combined?"
"Is there a chance that’s not just a feeling, but the truth?"
"This is so lame, so boring—what did we even come here for? With just him alone we can probably clear the whole dungeon, right?"
"Who was it that organized today’s dungeon run again..."
[Kakakakakaka, not bad, not bad!]
But just then, a delighted voice from the Fire Skeleton suddenly rang out from within the ring of blue-light Li Pu.
This level was finally worthy of being its sparring partner.
Even though its hard bones hadn’t suffered any damage, at least it could feel pain.
But seeing the Fire Skeleton brace its hands on the ground, about to force itself up, Li Pu’s brows furrowed slightly.
So he extended his palm in that direction and gave a squeeze.
Boom! xN
[Energy Explosion] triggered, and all the blue-light Li Pu detonated.
In the glare of the explosions, they could see the Fire Skeleton’s flames wildly flickering.
"It’s still fine after that?"
But when the smoke cleared, he saw the Fire Skeleton, with that radish head of its, standing there completely unscathed.
[My turn now, you better be careful]
It raised its arm back, and the flames in its hand instantly extended into a giant flaming blade.
Swish!
The blade, as if cleaving open space itself, came slashing in, so fast it seemed impossible to dodge.
(It’s over!) xN
Li Yilou and the others saw this scene and couldn’t help but mentally sigh in pity.
They had thought the situation was firmly in Li Pu’s favor, yet the opponent turned out completely uninjured.
And now that it finally made a move, it was obvious Li Pu had no hope.
Facing this flaming blade head-on, Li Pu had only one thought at this moment: fast, it was way too fast.
Even with his physique enhanced in [Possession] state, his body still couldn’t react effectively in time.
Luckily, he had other means.
With a thought, buoyancy instantly pressed onto his body, making him shoot upward as if he’d jumped high into the air.
Boom!
The flaming blade cleaved into the ground, carving out a massive ravine.
It was hard to imagine this was created by a mere tongue of flame.
"That’s really not good."
Seeing this from midair, even Li Pu felt his scalp go a bit numb.
He felt that even in his current state, there was no way he could defeat this opponent.
Yet the Fire Skeleton’s attacks didn’t stop there; its skeletal jaws opened to the limit, and it suddenly spewed out a pillar of fire that was red with a tinge of golden yellow.
The fire pillar’s momentum was fierce and its coverage wide, leaving Li Pu in midair with nowhere to dodge. He was directly engulfed.
