Three days later, Li Pu and Wu Guinan arrived at the designated training ground.

The recently returned Rolling Turtle, fresh from detention, was sitting on Wu Guinan's head.

But by Li Pu's side, there was one fewer companion — the Scarecrow.

It's quite a vexing matter to talk about.

He was so engrossed in battling monsters that he actually forgot the Scarecrow.

Though it's also the Scarecrow's fault for not returning after such a long patrol.

So when the Grand Ghostfire appeared, everyone hurriedly left the dungeon and no one remembered it.

Afterwards, Li Pu asked for help from the Changshou Merchant Gang to contact Wang Nuonuo, but only reached her after she got off the plane.

Wang Nuonuo, who was in a different place, couldn't come back for two weeks, and due to the special nature of this field practice, releasing the Scarecrow from the dungeon would cause many inconveniences.

So it could only be resigned to stay in there for the time being.

Of course, if the Scarecrow were to die during this time, it could be revived immediately with a resurrection token.

But through the summoning connection, Li Pu could clearly sense that the Scarecrow was still alive and well.

Which means if nothing happens to the Scarecrow, it will have to stay in the Little Yama Realm for two more weeks.

About this, he could only feel helpless.

Fortunately, the next two weeks wouldn't necessarily require the Scarecrow's presence.

The Scarecrow previously spent a lot of time soaking in the hot springs, so Nan Forest was used to going solo, with no real impact.

Aside from the money-making ventures in Nan Forest, he currently only had four classes to attend.

The four courses were "Summoner Skills," "Combat Basics," "Introduction to Summoned Beast Life Application," and "Cultivation Materials and Scheme Studies."

For first-year students, the courses actually don't differ by specialty or direction.

Except for "Summoner Skills," the rest are large classes of 300 people, with only one class per week.

Such classes, whether to attend or not is inconsequential (strikethrough).

As for the homeroom teacher, Guan Heshi, Li Pu only remembered missing the appointment yesterday after the fact.

Oddly enough, he didn't receive any inquiries or reprimands from the teacher.

As if an unspoken understanding was reached where both sides pretended nothing happened, which was the best result for both.

At this time, the two of them were waiting a while on the training ground when Li Fan finally arrived.

"Hello, Teacher." x2

The two sitting on the ground stood up together.

"Alright, alright."

Li Fan seemed a bit impatient, looking around the surroundings.

This training ground was spacious enough to accommodate 200 students and still be fine.

But look at his students — only two.

This made the venue seem very empty, almost pitiful.

However, this also proved that the school was fair in this aspect, providing equal-sized spaces for teaching "Summoner Skills" regardless of the teacher.

And although "Summoner Skills" only had two classes a week, each class lasted up to 6 hours.

While the other three courses only had classes lasting 1.5 hours each.

This contrast showed that "Summoner Skills" was indeed the most important.

"Sit down, let's start the class now."

Li Fan said as he sat down himself.

In fact, having fewer students also had its advantages, making teaching much easier, which was what he preferred.

So he skipped all the formalities and started the class right away.

"Do you know why the first lesson upon entering the World of Summoners is to learn Summoner Skills?"

"Actually, the reason is simple: because of the power of the Summoners."

The power of the Summoners — not an unfamiliar term.

Li Pu and Wu Guinan both grew up with Summoners, so they had some basic knowledge.

The power of the Summoners, to put it plainly, is a bit like the inner strength or true qi found in movies and novels.

Besides activating Summoner Skills, it also has functions like improving physical fitness, enhancing telepathy range, and more.

"Now, I'll first teach you how to sense your inner power of the Summoner."

Having introduced the topic, Li Fan immediately moved on to the next phase.

"In the initial stages of learning, to sense the power of the Summoner, you must use specific meditation methods."

"Once you are proficient, you can easily control this inner power without further meditation."

Li Fan was prepared for this, pulling out two laminated sheets from his storage space and tossing them over: "Just follow the instructions step by step."

Li Pu took one of the laminated sheets and began reading.

It had both text and pictures, seemingly hand-drawn by Li Fan himself.

But...

Li Pu: (His handwriting is terrible.)

Wu Guinan: "Teacher, your handwriting is awful."

There's always some brave soul who stands out unnecessarily.

"To learn the Summoner skill 'Sprinting,' your legs must be quick."

"So, you, run a lap around the field and come back."

"If you can't finish in 3 minutes, add another lap."

Li Fan pointed at Wu Guinan.

"Huh? Me?"

Wu Guinan looked bewildered.

If you talk about not having nimble legs, isn't there a lame person sitting right here?!

"Hmm?"

Li Fan frowned.

"Alright, alright! I'm going!"

Wu Guinan's heart skipped a beat under his glare and quickly got up to run.

"This tutorial is finely crafted, clearly showing the teacher's meticulous effort."

Li Pu casually added a compliment, though not very convincingly.

Because from reading the tutorial, it seemed like Li Fan only spent about ten minutes creating it.

Step 1: Sit like this.

The first line ended with an arrow pointing to a stick figure sitting cross-legged.

Though simple, the essence of the sitting posture was captured perfectly.

So Li Pu mimicked the posture, sitting cross-legged.

Step 2: Feel inside your body, 3 cm above your navel. Now, do you sense a flow of energy?

The overly casual language made it somewhat hard to adjust to.

Li Pu couldn't decide whether to accuse Li Fan of being too sloppy and casual or to say he was illiterate.

But seeing the panting Wu Guinan, he felt it best to say nothing.

"Teacher, following this tutorial, how long will it take to achieve summoner's power projection?"

After browsing through once, Li Pu asked Li Fan.

The last step in the tutorial was the projection of summoner's power.

Summoner's power projection is basically releasing and visualizing the inner energy, without any attack or other utility.

It's just a reflection of proficiency.

The tutorial indicated reaching this step means you're ready for the next phase, learning to truly "Sprint."

"Hmm..."

Li Fan thought based on his own experience: "For normal people, it takes a day or two of practice; for geniuses, within two hours."

He, of course, was of the genius variety.

"Teacher, would his state be considered successful projection?"

At that moment, Li Pu pointed to Wu Guinan.

The guy was already laid out on the ground, not moving, with the Rolling Turtle nudging him but without any response.

From his back floated out a translucent, white ghost-like Wu Guinan.

"Oh, that should be just a normal afterlife projection."

Li Fan lit a cigarette without concern.
