This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 676 - 484: Li Pu’s Second Awakening

The entire process was smooth, and Wu Guinan and Long Ren saw everything clearly.

"No way..."

"You were thinking the same as me, right?"

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling this very much resembled the process of making a contract.

"Sorry, I’ve completed my fifth contract."

Li Pu’s words confirmed their guess.

He hadn’t expected that making a contract with a kungfu beast would be so simple, requiring nothing more than the sincere apprenticeship of the other party.

This little owl had just hatched, with a pure heart and born with the spirit of kungfu, so its apprenticeship was absolutely sincere.

He initially thought his fifth contract wouldn’t come so early, only to find out it happened on the same day as the fourth.

And his combination of eating, drinking, and excreting upgraded to eating, drinking, excreting, and sleeping. Who knows what kind of oddity he’ll encounter during the sixth contract?

"You’ve got to be kidding! Man!"

"This actually works?! What the hell, are you even human?!"

At this point, Wu Guinan and Long Ren couldn’t hold back any longer.

Both simultaneously lost their composure, clutching their hearts as if hit by a massive blow.

Actually, being a four-contract Summoner is considered quite mature, even part of the core group in the summoner circle.

Many people spend their entire lives without the talent or luck to reach the four-contract threshold.

It’s important to know that even in college, most of the professors are just four-contract Summoners.

So imagine the prestige of being a five-contract Summoner.

A five-contract capability certainly places you in the upper echelon of the circle.

Even though Li Pu’s situation is somewhat special, with his summoning beasts undergoing fewer reincarnations, at this point, he has definitely secured a spot among the high ranks.

For a moment, Wu Guinan and Long Ren felt a sense of shared fate and mutual appreciation, their glances intertwined.

Wu Guinan: This time, let’s just call it a tie...

Long Ren: Agreed, I must acknowledge you are indeed a formidable opponent.

Wu Guinan: Fortunately, we are the first ones to witness this.

Long Ren: Exactly, our bragging rights just increased.

It must be said, whatever else they might lack in practice, their mental resilience has been honed to a sturdy level.

Changing their perspective slightly, and it suddenly doesn’t feel so bad.

While Wu Guinan and Long Ren were still exchanging eye-contact, Li Pu felt a lightness in his legs once again, suddenly losing control.

Thud.

He sat down heavily on the ground.

"Eh?"

"What’s going on here."

Wu Guinan and Long Ren approached with concern.

Today’s Li Pu was somewhat unusually off.

Low blood sugar, anemia?

That was impossible; they refused to believe this humanoid monster would exhibit human-like symptoms.

Or perhaps...x2

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously arriving at a singular answer.

Or could it be he suddenly weakened??? x2

Suddenly being besieged by too many summoned beasts competing for Spiritual Power space could potentially lead to such a situation.

Thus, the little eye-contact resumed.

Wu Guinan: Could it finally be our turn to rise to the top?

Long Ren: Good opportunity!

Wu Guinan: Shall we try it?

Long Ren: Let’s go together!

Wu Guinan: Okay, I’ll count to three.

Long Ren: Three.

Wu Guinan: Two.

Wu Long: One!

Both bodies simultaneously leaned forward dramatically, then suddenly halted.

They turned to find neither had charged forward.

Wu Guinan: Why didn’t you move!

Long Ren: Why didn’t you move!

Just in the time they delayed, Li Pu had gotten back on his feet.

"I report, he just wanted to hit you."

Wu Guinan pointed at Long Ren.

"What?! You wanted to ambush him, I was going to stop you."

Long Ren refuted aggressively.

"Buzz off, go cool off."

Li Pu had no interest in dealing with them and instead appeared puzzled.

What had just happened?

"I heard the fifth contract is a watershed among Summoners."

But Long Ren seemed to have picked up on his puzzlement.

"Watershed?"

These words indeed caught Li Pu’s attention.

"Yes, apparently during the fifth contract, one may undergo a second awakening."

Wu Guinan had also heard this from his grandfather.

The fifth contract is considered a watershed mainly because of the increase in power.

However, there are two paths to achieving such power.

These two paths allow Summoners to choose one.

More accurately, they are not chosen by the Summoner but are randomly determined.

One option is the Summoner’s personal second awakening.

The other option is lowering the requirements for the sixth contract.

It must be noted, the more contracts one makes, the harder they become.

Despite Li Pu currently leveraging Bu Bu’s [Possession] to temporarily boost Spiritual Power, enabling him to complete the fourth and fifth contracts back-to-back.

If he were to continue with his current pace, it might take Li Pu 5 or 6 years to prepare for his sixth contract.

If it takes him that long, other Summoners might take even longer.

Some might need 10 years to accumulate enough growth for a sixth contract.

But if the sixth contract’s requirements are lowered, it becomes much easier, reducing 10 years to just 1.

Essentially, it’s all a matter of sequence.

Those who have their second awakening first will have their seventh contract’s requirements reduced.

Those who lower their sixth contract’s requirements first will undergo a second awakening during their seventh contract.

"...10 years?"

After listening to their explanation, Li Pu was dumbfounded.

He originally thought he wouldn’t spend much time before contracting his sixth beast.
