[Roll!]
Gongong Turtle excitedly let out a low growl and immediately retreated into its shell, starting to roll around.
And it remembered the Summoner's instructions, not crashing into the scarecrow right away after rolling.
Instead, it circled around the large arena, using spiral motion to build up speed.
Rumble rumble...
The irregular shell combined with its own weight caused quite a commotion as it rolled across the arena floor.
"It's that move again."
"He won previous matches by relying on this rolling tactic."
"It's indeed troublesome, this guy resists hits with its tough shell, and once it rolls, other summoned beasts can't stop it."
"Plus, this guy has a trump card up its sleeve."
"Shh! If we discuss it openly, the match won't be fair."
The freshmen watching this scene remembered how Wu Guinan won the previous rounds.
In fact, Wu Guinan wasn't stupid either.
The commands he shouted were mostly to mislead opponents.
Secretly, he had already issued a second command via telepathy.
Which was to launch an immediate follow-up attack with [Small Water Spray] after crashing into the scarecrow.
A small combo that should be enough to defeat the opponent.
(Humph, just a scarecrow, how could it be a match for Gongong Turtle?)
At this moment, Wu Guinan sneakily glanced at Li Pu, feeling a bit smug.
If it's a 1V1 between summoned beasts, he has a hundred percent confidence in winning.
And in the future, when Gongong Turtle grows, it won't fear Li Pu, that weirdo, anymore.
After all, the growth rate and upper limit of summoned beasts are much higher than Summoners.
The opponent's scheme and thoughts, Li Pu naturally couldn't know.
Just watching Gongong Turtle roll around was already troubling enough for the scarecrow.
Because of the shell's almost spherical advantage combined with skill enhancement, Gongong Turtle rolls faster even than the scarecrow can move.
This means, trying to catch the opponent for an attack is nearly impossible.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Pu issued a command to the scarecrow.
[Grass!]
The scarecrow hurriedly responded, having long been tired of watching the dizzying spins of the big turtle.
So it followed the command and quickly ran to the corner of the arena.
Leaning against the right angle formed by the light screen barrier as support.
This action immediately sparked discussions among the audience.
"Oh no, it walked into a dead corner by itself."
"So dumb, now it will surely get hit."
"I think that's not it, maybe it's worried about getting attacked from behind."
"True, this way it can at least make targeted defensive moves."
Everyone had their own viewpoints, opinions weren't very unified.
Yet, amidst this clamor, Gongong Turtle kept rolling faster.
"Gongong Turtle, it's time!"
Wu Guinan roughly understood the speed limit of [Big Roller], and now it was about there.
[Rolllellele!]
Receiving the command, Gongong Turtle uttered a series of indistinguishable sounds and finally stopped circling, heading straight for the scarecrow.
But before Wu Guinan acted, Li Pu had already issued a new command.
The reason he had the scarecrow hide in the corner was not for defense.
Quite the opposite, it was for the attack.
Only by using the advantage of the corner in conjunction with the opponent's action could he ensure the scarecrow's next strike wouldn't miss.
At this moment, the scarecrow was executing the command, its entire body's pace had slowed down completely.
[Huh~~Oo~~]
Even its cry slowed down, lazily swinging its fist.
Every move seemed to be in slow motion at a fraction of the normal speed.
This sight directly amused the audience.
"Haha, what kind of ridiculous tactic is this!"
"Feels like this punch is even softer than before..."
"That's it, this won't be a match for the Rocky Turtle."
"Oh my, it's about to collide!"
With someone's exclamation, the scarecrow's fist was about to meet Gongong Turtle.
One was weak and slow as a snail, the other came fiercely as if unstoppable.
Weak vs. strong.
Slow vs. fast.
Still vs. move.
The contrast between them was extremely stark.
(Won!)
Watching this scene, Wu Guinan couldn't help but clench his fist.
Yet, he also felt a bit worried.
With such a fierce collision, he wondered if the scarecrow would directly get knocked out.
If that happened, would he have to compensate with a revival card?
[Huh~OoOoOoOo~]
[Rolllellelele!]
However, the outcome was unexpected for Wu Guinan and the crowd alike.
BOOM!
After a loud crash, the massive body of Gongong Turtle suddenly flew backward!
Whoosh~splat!
Gongong Turtle slammed against the light screen barrier, stunned by the recoil, dizzy and disoriented.
"That's impossible!" xN
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
Why did the situation suddenly reverse like this?
What did the scarecrow do?
And that, was the scarecrow's new skill.
[LV1-Snail Grass (C)]: Perform an attack with greatly increased power, movements become significantly slower, accompanied by a knockback effect.
Due to its A+F fusion, it downgraded from grade A to C.
The original "Shell Crash" became "Attack," and "Shell Hardening" was canceled.
The key point was, movement "slows down" → "significantly slows down."
Without some special circumstances, this skill wouldn't hit the target.
But Li Pu wasn't concerned, he would think of ways to further strengthen the scarecrow later.
At least the skill's power was visibly potent.
Even such a large Gongong Turtle could be sent flying, if there were no barrier stopping it, it might have flown several more meters.
Using [Friend of Magical Beasts] for the first time proved to be worthwhile.
At this point, Gongong Turtle lay unable to move for over ten seconds, proving it was unable to continue fighting.
Only now, with its head still throbbing, did it remember the Summoner seemed to issue another command.
So it opened its mouth, activating [Small Water Spray].
But Gongong Turtle, already dazed, was in no mood or energy to control it.
It could only let a clear stream of water, weakly flow from its mouth.
Splish splash...
"Whoa, amazing! That scarecrow made the Rocky Turtle spit up!"
Someone exclaimed, instantly gaining the crowd's approval.
They realized the scarecrow was far more formidable than it appeared.
It's a tough grass!
Making an opponent spit up seemed to be unmatched in today's arena!
Upon hearing this, Gongong Turtle became displeased.
[Roll!]
But the peculiar sound made its rebuttal seem more like an angry embarrassment.
[Grass!]
Scarecrow: Summoner, Ben Cao won!
The victorious scarecrow gleefully raised both of its hands.
