This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 406 - 354: Iceborne Bird

Returning with Jiang Guiju is a senior named Lin Shigong, a third-year student.

His abilities are on par with Jiang Guiju, having achieved a top 50 ranking in the Southwest Star Cup individual track last year, and he was only a second-year student then.

Just by his name, you know this senior was temporarily hired by Fu Erdai to be the leader of their team.

Their second-year vice captain, senior Chen Jianzhi, also has quite a background.

His abilities are quite good, but recently, he’s been short on money.

"Senior, senior." xN

Seeing the two approaching, the team members stood up to greet them.

Everyone was very concerned about what task their team would draw.

After all, tasks differ, but according to the completion rate within the specified time, all teams still have to be ranked.

The team that ranks first will receive a total of 100 school points as a reward.

The two teams tied for second place receive 90 points, the three teams tied for third receive 80 points... and so on until 0 points.

On average, the first-place team’s five members can each receive 20 points, equivalent to winning first place in two monthly exams, quite impressive.

"We got lucky; our task is to collect Ground Spring Pebbles, and the additional task is to defeat a Ground Spring Octopus."

"I had experience in this last semester, so it shouldn’t be too hard to complete."

Lin Shigong raised the papers in his hand, smiling easily.

The Ground Springs, being a rare environment suitable for species to live, is a kind of hot spring underground in the Western Icefield.

Therefore, many magical beasts gather around, and these beasts have a strong sense of territory; any stranger approaching is seen as an intruder and thus attacked.

But Lin Shigong had entered the Ground Springs before and knew that their team’s strength was enough to handle those magical beasts.

As for the additional task, it’s not mandatory nor ranked, but completing it grants an extra 20 points.

Many teams that feel they can’t compete in ranking will prioritize additional tasks to secure a baseline.

However, Lin Shigong knew the Ground Spring Octopus was quite sly.

It’s not that their team couldn’t beat it, but finding this creature would be quite difficult.

Better to focus on quickly completing the main task and returning for the ranking.

"That’s great."

Ma He smiled broadly upon hearing this answer.

"This time, I want to win against you."

Fu Erdai smiled as he looked at Li Pu.

Even if just once, he was fixated on surpassing Li Pu, not just in terms of wealth.

"Senior, what task did we draw?"

Li Pu shrugged noncommittally and looked at Jiang Guiju.

"Our task is... to go to the Abyss Ravine and collect mushroom beast materials."

Jiang Guiju’s expression wasn’t pleasant.

The first issue is that the journey to the Abyss Ravine is very far, and last night Wang Nuonuo mentioned that it’s the most dangerous place in the entire Western Icefield.

The task turned out to be collecting materials from the cliffs of the Abyss Ravine.

She hadn’t done this before; it was her first time going there.

"More mushrooms?"

But what Li Pu was more concerned about was this.

Why did he feel like there were so many mushrooms around the school?

This time going out for the Southwest Star Cup, he realized, not to mention the fusion cards, just his original mushroom cards were more numerous than others.

Other competitors rarely used mushroom cards, and even if they did, it was at most one or two.

"It just so happens I know a place dense with Ground Springs, right on the way to the Abyss Ravine."

"Why don’t we travel together?"

At this moment, Lin Shigong proposed to Jiang Guiju.

"Alright."

Jiang Guiju thought that having one more team would mean more security, so she nodded in agreement.

And so, after the official start of the event, the two teams began heading towards the Abyss Ravine together.

In an environment like the Western Icefield, having a rideable summoned beast is ideal for a Summoner.

At times like these, Li Pu and his team really missed Wu Guinan.

Because if they had Rolling Turtle, their riding problem would be well-solved.

Fortunately, the neighboring team had Ma He, whose big hippo could carry all nine of them without any issue.

Also, the big hippo’s skin had a warming feature from Ma He, making it quite comfortable in such a harsh environment.

At this point, other summoned beasts shrank or transformed to ride on the big hippo.

Of course, there were also summoned beasts that were easy to board the hippo without transforming, like the Grass Puppet and the Ugly Little Wolf.

"Your nurturing speed is quite fast..."

Fu Erdai couldn’t help but sigh, seeing the Ugly Little Wolf stopped by Li Pu from marking territory on the big hippo.

"It’s okay, just lucky."

Li Pu didn’t explain much.

Because he knew that forming the second and third pacts wasn’t too difficult.

He believed that Long Ren and Fu Erdai, with their skills, would catch up soon.

Most third-year students like Lin Shigong had completed their third pact as well.

Jiang Guiju hadn’t undergone her third pact due to some delays, but after her Egg Shell Beast’s first metamorphosis, the time wasn’t far away either.

Even with just two summoned beasts, her careful nurturing put her strength above peers, ranking among the top.

Li Pu was wondering when he could proceed with his fourth pact.
