Central Square of the General Assembly Hall, Arena No. 19.

"The next match will be between Li Pu and Ma He."

"Two classmates, please come on stage immediately."

An ordinary-looking male referee teacher, about 45 years old, stood on the ring and announced loudly.

Different from other arenas, there were especially many students onlookers under Arena No. 19.

"Wow! It's finally starting!"

"The strong showdown is really exciting."

"Indeed, the first and second place in the competition will definitely be very interesting."

"Please note, it is tied for second place."

"So what if they are juxtaposed, that's not bad, right?"

"That's right, it sounds like you have a good ranking in racing."

The list of matches was drawn yesterday, and in the first round, this one attracted the most attention from the freshmen.

So before it even started, people had already gathered here.

Under the instructions of the referee teacher, a boy quickly stepped onto the ring.

He was one of the four people who arrived after Li Pu during the race, Ma He.

Ma He is not alone, he is also accompanied by his summoned beast.

In his non-combat form, he is a sturdy guy with the head of an animal and the body of a human body.

Generally speaking, half-animal and half-human summoned beasts have a more beautiful appearance, but this summoned beast is different.

At over two meters tall, it has a strong body with a hint of fat, and a hint of fat.

What's more important is that the animal head is...a hippopotamus.

Such an appearance immediately aroused whispers around him.

"He's one of the people who tied for second in the race?"

"What an ugly summoned beast..."

"Indeed, he is almost the ugliest guy I have ever seen..."

"Don't underestimate it. Recently, Ma He has basically no rivals in the Wisdom Hall."

"..., you mean the stupid-looking summoned beast belongs to the wisdom system?"

"Sure enough, you can't judge a beast by its cover. It's too confusing."

Many of these comments reached Ma He's ears, but he didn't care because he was used to hearing them.

It doesn't matter if you are ugly, as long as you are strong enough.

Although it seems that he can only provide support to Fuldai, in fact, the fire grasshopper in the South Forest is more suitable to be the main force. If the environment really changes, it is really uncertain who will lead and who will assist.

However, Ma He stood on the ring for a while, but never saw Li Pu.

"Student Li Pu, please come on stage immediately, otherwise it will be deemed as a waiver."

At this time, the referee teacher spoke again.

"Teacher, wait a minute, maybe something happened to him!"

Wu Guinan, who happened to be in the audience, quickly stood up.

His mood now is one of anxiety.

But I don't know where that kid Li Pu has gone.

In these two weeks, they met only a handful of times.

Except for one time when Wu Guinan made a special trip to pay back the money, the rest of the time Wu Guinan only met him by chance in the dormitory.

The most important thing is that the guy doesn't have a mobile phone yet, so he can't contact him even if he wants to.

"snort."

However, when the referee teacher heard this, he frowned: "Rules are rules. When you encounter a monster, can you tell it to wait?"

"I'll say it one last time."

"Student Li Pu, please come on stage immediately, otherwise it will be deemed as a waiver."

So, he issued an ultimatum.

"No way, Li Pu is going to abstain?"

"What a pity. I also want to see what he looks like in real life. I heard he is very handsome."

"Tsk, I was looking forward to it in vain."

"It couldn't have been an accident, right? I heard others say that he seemed to run outside the school every day."

"The crow's mouth is yours, hurry up, bah bah bah."

Everyone said something, and some even put forward bad ideas, which were immediately refuted by Wu Guinan.

"coming."

Fortunately, at this moment, a slow voice came through the crowd.

"Um?"

Depending on the terrain of the arena, the referee teacher saw Li Pu's figure first, and could not help but frown slightly to express doubts.

At this moment, he was seen dragging the corpse of an unknown large plant monster, limping towards the ring.

(I heard that this kid can freely enter and exit the south gate to hunt, but...)

(What kind of monster is this?)

The referee teacher has also heard about Li Pu's situation, but he has the impression that there is no such monster in the southern forest.

It looks like a green radish, but if you look closely, it has arms, legs and a head.

The key is that he is very big, almost as big as one-third of the arena.

And I don’t know if the body was not cleaned up properly or something else. As Li Pu dragged it, the big green radish still left a trace of water stains on the ground.

"Wow, what kind of monster is that?"

"With such a big body, it should be very powerful, right?"

"It turns out that the rumors are true, he is really hunting monsters!"

"The key point is that this magical beast is too big. It will definitely not be cheap if sold to a trading station."

Everyone stepped aside to make way for Li Pu, while whispering to each other.

"Your boy is finally here!"

Wu Guinan walked quickly to Li Pu and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"?,Why are you wearing a strange hat?"

However, Li Pu was attracted by its strange shape.

"What hat? This is a rolling turtle."

Wu Guinan turned the thing on his head, revealing the head of the turtle.

It turns out that this strange hat is just the non-combat form of the Rolling Turtle, a miniature version of the little turtle.

【Scroll~】

The Gungun turtle stretched its neck and said hello in a low and meek voice.

【Grass…】

The big green radish that Li Pu was dragging twitched slightly.

"Ah?! This, this thing is..."

Wu Guinan suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost and could not speak clearly.

"Classmate Li Pu?"

At this time, the referee teacher walked to the edge of the ring and asked.

"Yes, teacher."

Li Pu nodded in response.

Although he has little interest in arena competitions, he certainly will not lose track of time.

The reason why I was late was because I was really delayed.

"The corpses of monsters you hunt should be stored outside and should not be brought into the guild hall."

After receiving the response, the referee teacher couldn't help but frown again.
