[Level 1- Snail’s Upanishad (A) ]

[Active effect: activates a greatly increased shell impact. During this time, the shell will become hard, the movement will become slow, and there will be a knockback effect.]

[Attribute: 3 Earth and above ]

[Type: Wind Listener / Resolute / Balanced]

[Race: Shell type]

The most powerful part was that this skill was of the same grade as the snail of Taiji, A-grade.

However, Li Pu didn’t have a deep understanding of the concept of skill ranks yet, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

It could only be said that the vast majority of Summoners with a carapace magical beast would be overjoyed if they obtained a skill of this grade.

“Scarecrow doesn’t have a shell. This is difficult.”

His main focus was on compatibility.

This skill completely relied on a shell to produce an effect. Without the shell, there would not be any effect.

Li Pu was dumbfounded when he saw the fee.

Scarecrow required 10000 crystal coins to learn this skill.

There seemed to be a set of standards for the cost of crystal coins for [Friends of Magical Beasts].

He couldn’t figure out the exact answer for the time being, but he knew that it had something to do with the related items and many aspects of the summoned beast.

However, the problem now was that his entire fortune was only a thousand crystal coins. Did he really have to rob nine new students?

Of course, he could not do such a thing.

“Eh?”

However, when he looked at the options at the back, he raised his eyebrows.

Fusing with [Snail’s Upanishad] would only cost 1000 crystal coins.

Sacrificing [Snail’s Upanishad] was even cheaper, only 500 crystal coins.

Moreover, the results of the fusion could be seen in a preview. Currently, Scarecrow only had one skill, [Fist of Grass], so it had no choice.

There was no preview effect for sacrifice because this function was actually similar to the normal use of nurturing materials.

Under normal circumstances, using nurturing materials on summoned beasts would not produce immediate results.

This was because the summoned beast needed to go through a digestion process before it could transform the materials into something that truly belonged to it.

Different types and races of summoned beasts had different ways of digesting them. In fact, it was like a cultivation process, and the help of a Summoner in this process would be of great help.

“The answer is obvious.”

Li Pu already had an answer in his heart.

The results of the fusion skill preview showed that it could be used by a straw doll.

What’s more, it would cost 1000 crystal coins, which he happened to have.

Even though its grade had dropped, it was still stronger than [Fist of Grass].

After all, it was completely acceptable for an A class skill to become a C Class skill after fusing with an F class skill.

Hence, he took out the crystal from his storage space and held it in his hand. He opened his other hand and pressed it on the snail shell.

[Grass?]

Scarecrow was even more confused by its summoner’s actions.

However, the next second, it felt a magical power enter its body.

[Oh oh oh grass! ]

[Scarecrow: Summoner, I seem to be getting stronger!]

The wonderful feeling made the straw doll raise its arms and let out a cry of surprise.

The arrival of the new skill had also caused its physical fitness to receive a small increase.

“Not bad, not bad.”

When Li Pu put his hand down from the shell, the 1000 crystal coins had been used up.

He opened the interface and saw that Scarecrow’s combat power had increased from 6 to 10.

As for the snail shell, it was still there.

It was just that the overall thickness had become slightly thinner and no one would notice anything.

“This is a big step.”

He was very happy as he carefully examined Scarecrow’s new skill.

He had just become a Summoner the day before, and he had already obtained two C-grade skills in a row.

Moreover, it seemed that with this Summoner’s talent, it was impossible for Scarecrow not to become stronger.

[Grass!] [Grass!]

[Scarecrow: Summoner, I request to fight!]

Scarecrow, who also learned that it had obtained a new skill, immediately became arrogant.

It turned its gaze to the ring area and began to surge with fighting spirit.

“Alright, let’s try.”

Li Pu had the same thought because he also wanted to see the power of this new skill.

Although it was only an increase of 10 combat power, as long as the opponent was chosen well, Scarecrow had a chance of winning.

However, after walking around, he realized that all the arenas seemed to be full.

Even if they weren’t picky, Scarecrow didn’t have a place to showcase its ability.

Hence, the man and his straw doll paced back and forth for more than 10 minutes before they finally found an opportunity.

The opportunity came from a nearby ring where he heard someone asking with a rather arrogant tone, “Next, is there anyone else?”

Li Pu looked up. What a coincidence.

Wasn’t this the summoner who he had met yesterday?

At this moment, a lazy big turtle with a rock-like Shell was lying beside him, expressionlessly chewing on some vegetables and other things.

In the face of this student’s question, no one in the audience dared to accept the challenge.

In fact, wherever his gaze swept across, people would unnaturally avoid his gaze.

It seemed that this opponent’s performance in the ring was not bad, one could tell that he had won more than one round.

“I’ll do it.”

Li Pu walked closer and raised his hand.

He felt that he still had some chance with this summoned beast’s strength.

Moreover, he had also looked up the illustrations of this summoned beast in the library.

Its scientific name was mountain rock turtle, and there were many evolutionary paths. The strongest one was Rock Dragon Turtle, but that was only after rank 7 or rank 8.

The advantages and disadvantages of this magical beast were obvious. Its advantage was its strong defense, but its weakness was its clumsy movements.

In addition, there was some attribute restraint between the two beasts, so he felt that Scarecrow should be able to deal with it.

Li Pu’s gesture immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students.

“It’s him…”

“First place in the written test!”

“First place in the physical examination!”

“Last place in summoning!”

Li Pu was speechless.

It seemed that there was someone in this group who didn’t know how to talk.

However, when everyone’s eyes fell on his straw doll, there was another round of discussion.

“Is his summoned beast really a straw doll?”

“I was also shocked when I heard about it last night.”

“There are so many students with an F-grade beast, and he just had to summon one of the weakest beasts, the straw doll. Sigh…”

“It’s said that the drop rate of a Scarecrow is actually pretty low. Is this considered a kind of high-quality disguised…”

Li Pu didn’t care much about these discussions.

He led Scarecrow up the ring.

He sighed as he looked at the rock turtle.

How irresponsible would a Summoner have to be to give such a casual and perfunctory name like Rolling Turtle?
