This Summoner Is Too Powerful

To form a contract with an elemental beast, one only needs an [Attributeless Elemental Core].

So even if I take more of it, it wouldn't mean much.

But if it's not dealt with immediately, it would be wasted.

Therefore, Old Tu thought the best solution was to let Li Pu bind it, to avoid waste.

After all, this kid's journey is still long, and he should have more opportunities for contracts in the future. Who knows when he might encounter an elemental beast he wishes to form a contract with.

"Thank you, Old Tu."

Li Pu roughly understood what the other meant.

Given the current situation, he didn't refuse and directly bound the remaining [Attributeless Elemental Core].

"Phew, I didn't expect you to get the Elemental Core so quickly..."

After handing it back, Old Tu felt that he regained his standing.

However, something felt a bit off since this item originally should have belonged to him.

"Now you should tell me what really happened."

Seeing Li Pu also completed the binding, Old Tu began to inquire.

There was nothing to hide during the process, but Li Pu didn't elaborate and recounted the whole process briefly.

After speaking, he was about to take out all the spoils he obtained in the instance.

"Wait, let me heal you first."

His actions, however, were stopped by Old Tu.

A little green fairy emerged from his opened storage space.

"This is my healing-type summoner, Bungba Lala."

Generally, humanoid summoned beasts are referred to as summoners.

[Chirp Chirp Hello!]

The Blue Ice Sparrow, originally perched on the cabinet top, flew over joyfully upon seeing the little fairy, flapping its wings in circles around it.

[Hee hee!]

The little fairy was also delighted to see the Blue Ice Sparrow.

With a twitch of the wand in her hand, twinkling starlight transformed into a small bird to play with it.

It seemed Old Tu had been prepared to form a contract with the Blue Ice Sparrow, such that even his own summoned beast had cultivated a bond with it.

"Stretch out your hand."

Old Tu instructed Li Pu.

"Alright."

Li Pu obediently placed his fractured arm on the table.

More than an hour had passed since the injury, and his entire forearm was noticeably swollen, indicating that there was some degree of bone displacement inside.

Seeing this, Old Tu stood up without saying much and quickly reset the bones for him.

The quicker the action, the shorter the pain—this was his experience talking.

Indeed, as a summoner with healing beasts, Old Tu knew some auxiliary medical techniques.

However, from experience, he expected Li Pu would scream in pain, yet he didn't hear a sound.

When he looked up, he saw the student with a pale face and sweaty forehead, clearly in a lot of pain.

(This kid, I didn't expect him to endure so well.)

Old Tu silently praised him.

His technique was somewhat unique and wouldn't necessarily be more effective than others.

Unique in how particularly painful it was.

Few could withstand it, and no one ever wanted a second visit.

Originally, he thought it was impossible to obtain an Elemental Core just by a strawman alone.

But after hearing Li Pu say he had participated in the battle, combined with the willpower he showed now, Old Tu was fully convinced.

Looking back further, it seemed that the mushroom-eating lizard back then was also taken down by the strawman in cooperation with him.

It's entirely possible he even handled it himself.

(Given time and proper training, he might become a remarkably skilled summoner in battle.)

(Never asked which combat specialization this kid chose.)

As he pondered silently, Old Tu gave instructions to the little fairy.

[Hee hee hee!]

The little fairy responded with a crisp laughter, then flew in front of Li Pu.

From now on began the real healing stage.

[Dooloo Dooloo Baba Laleh Diga Gah!]

She recited an unintelligible incantation, then flicked her little magic wand at Li Pu.

Jingle jingle...

Li Pu seemed to hear a faint bell sound, then saw fine starlight-like dots fall onto the hand of his injured arm.

The light adhered to his skin and immediately disappeared.

A cool sensation dispelled about ninety percent of the fracture pain.

"So, this is what a healing-type summoner is like."

Experiencing this kind of healing for the first time, Li Pu found it very wondrous.

"Don't get too proud just yet; you haven't fully recovered."

However, just as he was about to move, Old Tu pulled out a bandage.

"Your arm is quite severely injured, not even Bungba Lala can heal it immediately."

"For now, just keep it still; it should be fine after about a week."

"After all, a summoner's physique can't compare to that of a summoned beast."

After speaking, Old Tu helped him wrap his arm with a bandage to immobilize it.

"Ah... Ah!"

Li Pu, who could endure without crying during bone setting, couldn't help but react this time.

He looked at Old Tu in horror, thinking what kind of extraordinary person he was.

Just now, did he want to twist my arm into a pretzel?

Applying a bandage was several times more painful than bone-setting; this technique was simply absurd!

But the pain was only momentary; he already felt much better and it wasn't anything too serious.

"Alright, hand over the items."

After dealing with the healing tasks, Old Tu instructed Li Pu to turn over the loot.

So Li Pu laid everything out, and the result was once again somewhat unexpected.

Old Tu wasn't interested in the cube cards at all, so he didn't take any of the submitted ones.

As for the remaining low-level slime materials, he wasn't interested in those low-level Elemental Cores either.

According to him, those were just overly cheap low-level materials, too cheap to even take up space in the storage.

Finally, Old Tu only took away the few barrels of the giant slime's solution.

Because, as Li Pu had guessed, after being nurtured by the core of the small world, the giant slime's physique had become somewhat special.

The value of its dissolving solution was quite high.

So, when leaving Old Tu's office, Li Pu instead felt that he had become the biggest beneficiary.

Not only did he receive the final payment of 10,000 Crystal Coins and accidentally obtained an [Attributeless Elemental Core] for free, but he also acquired a pile of low-level Elemental Cores.

Before encountering the giant slime, he and the strawman had essentially cleared out the wind and sand slimes in the instance.

So in terms of related items, these low-level Elemental Cores were definitely enough.

With these related items and a sufficient budget of Crystal Coins.

Looking at the strawman's current level of 25, Li Pu suddenly doubted his plan to let it learn [Sprint] first.

Why not wait until it reaches level 30?
