Chapter 18

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Pu’s punch caused the bark of the little king Zen tree to cave in.

[Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~]

However, it let out a pleasant cry.

This Summoner seemed to be a little different!

When it was whipped by the straw doll, it felt pain but it grew. Meanwhile, when it was hammered by Li Pu, it felt pain but it also felt happiness.

That punch was clearly very painful, but his body felt surprisingly comfortable!

Even the few whip wounds on his body had slightly improved.

It didn’t understand what was happening, but it could only say that it was too magical!

[Whoosh!]

The second punch that it thought would follow did not land. The Zen tree tugged at the straw doll anxiously.

[Grass!]

[Scarecrow: Summoner, it told you to use more strength! Don’t take pity on it!]

Scarecrow now was like a translator of the Botanic world.

“It’s indeed effective.”

Li Pu wasn’t in a hurry to continue. He looked at his fist.

He had activated [Fatherly Love] in that punch just now.

He could tell that the treant’s mental state seemed to have changed after it was beaten up.

When he took a closer look at the few whip marks on the broken tree bark, the wound had already shrunk a little.

On the other hand, he felt that his body was slightly different from before.

Was this the state of a summoned beast when it used a skill?

It seemed that he couldn’t fight infinitely in his stay-at-home dad state.

However, it was still okay. Li Pu didn’t feel tired.

He decided to take advantage of this time to heal the treant.

Crack crack…

Hence, he cracked all ten of his knuckles and walked up to it, looking down at it from above.

“Tell it to call me Dad.”

That was what he said.

[Grass grass grass!]

[Whoosh…Pfft!]

The little king Zen tree had just opened its mouth when it was punched so hard that it almost vomited out its sap.

It hurts! However, it felt so good!

There was a warm current running around its body!

The wound was itchy, and it felt so comfortable!

The female assistant was dumbfounded when she saw Li Pu punching and kicking the little king Zen tree.

“Principal, do we really not need to do anything?”

“And this little Zen tree, why isn’t it running away?”

She looked more and more nervous.

“Not only did it not run, it even took the initiative to meet his fist.”

However, Principal Cha’s observation skills were more subtle.

“Look, the wound on its bark has already started to heal.”

“This guy’s fist might not be as fierce as it looks.”

“On the contrary, it seems to have a healing effect on the Zen tree.”

“It seems like this is his Summoner talent. Interesting.”

His explanation made the female assistant’s mouth open slightly.

“Ah?”

After a long while, she finally came back to her senses.

This summoner’s talent was to beat the other party for a healing effect?

This is ridiculous, okay?

“What a pity.”

Principal Cha felt a little sorry for this judgment.

A healing-type Summoner was indeed an indispensable existence in a team.

However, from Li Pu’s current performance, this ability couldn’t be used in battle.

The reason was simple. It was not efficient enough.

The wounds caused by Scarecrow’s five whips had barely recovered after he had hit the little king Zen tree more than ten times.

(Originally, this kid’s grandfather had hoped that he could become a powerful combat Summoner.)

(But now, with this straw doll, he can only become an excellent logistics Summoner at most.)

In fact, Principal Cha himself felt that it was fine. Although the logistics personnel was not very eye-catching, they also played a vital role in the summoner system.

[Grass!]

Smack smack!

[Sob sob sob!]

After Li Pu finished beating up the treant, Scarecrow had already started the second round of whipping.

The current situation was a little troublesome.

He naturally did not forget that he was still participating in the course selection competition.

However, he could not resist the little king Zen tree’s pleading and could only continue.

After all, through its explanation and careful consideration, Li Pu could understand the use of the [Wisdom Root].

He had to admit that this was a very good inscription tool.

He would feel bad if he did not repay this ugly, cowardly, weak, useless, and kind little Treant.

“Forget it, we have more than enough spots.”

“Even if I’m in last place, I should still have some options.”

After some thought, he consoled himself.

As for the [Fatherly Love] skill…

Looking at his fist, Li Pu had a new discovery after his practice.

It was as if the more strength he used, the more pain he inflicted on the other party, and the better the healing effect.

It was a weird skill, but it was quite fun to use.

Just like that, they took turns beating the little king Zen tree.

And the little Zen tree itself was willing to accept such abuse.

[Whoosh!!!]

Just as the fifth round of beating ended, the little king Zen tree suddenly let out a loud cry.

[Grass!]

[Scarecrow: Summoner, it said it’s going to level up!]

It turned out that the little king Zen tree had been on the verge of successfully digesting the nutrients and Scarecrow’s whip had undoubtedly become its last helping hand.

Bang! Bang!

With a cry, a fine powder visible to the naked eye shot out from the surface of its body, and then the powder swept in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

When the powder touched his body, Li Pu only smelled the strong fragrance and had no other reaction.

On the contrary, the straw doll suddenly became unusually excited.

[Grass grass grass grass grass!!!]

[Scarecrow: Summoner, I’m so excited now! I really wanted to fight!]

It raised its hands, and a red light flickered in the depths of its two black eyes.

At this moment, the difference between a magical beast and a summoned beast was revealed.

If magical beasts were to be attacked by this powder, they would immediately become extremely violent and aggressive.

However, when Scarecrow was in this state, Li Pu could use his mental perception to suppress it and minimize the effect.

By minimizing the effect, he meant that it found a big tree and began to randomly hammer it.

At the very least, it did not attack the little king Zen tree blindly, which was still acceptable.

“He actually beat up the little Zen tree until it leveled up.”

The female assistant didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, she still felt that the main reason for its level advancement was that she came to feed the little Zen tree with nutrition every day.

Otherwise, without any nutrients to digest, no matter how much it was beaten up, it would not be able to convert the nutrients into its own energy.

“This year’s new students might be in trouble.”

As for Principal Cha, he was staring at the fragrance powder that was spreading out rapidly.

If it was only a little Zen tree, he would not be too worried.

However, now, it was confirmed that this was the royal family of the little Zen trees, the King of Zen trees.

Then the power of the fragrance powder needed to be re-evaluated.

It was likely that all the plant-type magical beasts within the competition area would go berserk under the influence of the fragrance powder.

Li Pu’s actions had undoubtedly increased the difficulty for everyone.
