First, use soap, then let the hedgehog shoot three times.

After each shot, wait over ten minutes for it to recover.

Altogether, it takes around forty to fifty minutes.

After three rounds, apply soap again, and repeat the cycle.

This needs to be repeated for six hours until the entire bar of soap is used up.

Is this what you mean?

Just thinking about Senior Jiang doing this for six hours every day gives Li Pu a headache.

He feels his own method is much more convenient.

"Same as usual, you go first."

"Take out your thing and get to work."

He then looked at the scarecrow.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Ben Cao takes the order!

The scarecrow saluted straightly, it has been itching for a long time.

Finally, after the little tree person, it has found its second victim, oh wait, beneficiary.

[Prickle?]

At this moment, the exhausted hedgehog lay on the ground, looking up at this scarecrow.

It's fairly familiar with the limping one but not with this scarecrow, having had almost no interaction.

While puzzled, it saw the scarecrow standing in place, tilting its head and opening its mouth wide.

[Grass ahhhhh!]

That look was a bit like a baby bird waiting to be fed.

But the scarecrow didn't want to eat anything; instead, it raised its straw hand and reached into its own mouth.

[Ahhh retch ahhhhhh!]

What's going on?!

Such a bizarre image!

The hedgehog's two small eyes rounded, with a heap of questions emerging in its mind.

This scarecrow, is it a ghost type summoned beast?

Is it trying to extract something from within itself?

Also, did it just make a gagging sound?

It originally thought this scarecrow looked kind of adorably dumb, but how did it suddenly switch to a gross style?

It has to be said, this scene gave the hedgehog quite a visual shock.

Then, under its watchful eyes, the scarecrow slowly drew a vine whip from its mouth, inch by inch.

"… couldn't you do it in a normal way."

"When I asked you to extract something, I didn't mean like this."

At this point, even Li Pu couldn't bear to look anymore.

Clearly, the 'Engraved Tool' is fused within the body and could be taken out easily without such bizarre actions.

Why insist on such an unorthodox approach?

Indeed, what the scarecrow extracted was exactly its own thing, 'Wisdom Root'.

But Li Pu knew that he had nothing to do for a while, so he sat down in a corner.

During this downtime, he could well practice driving the dual strength.

[Prickle?]

Seeing Li Pu walking away and then the scarecrow approaching with its vine whip step by step.

[Hehehe grass…]

That guy even showed a strange sinister smile.

[Prickle no!]

Hedgehog: Limping one, control your scarecrow! What's it about to do!

Hedgehog: There seems to be saliva on that whip, how disgusting!

If it had spikes and strength, it would surely poke this scarecrow full of holes.

But unfortunately, even with spikes and strength, it's useless.

Because the scarecrow is full of holes, not afraid of spikes, it's completely the hedgehog's nemesis.

Seeing the opponent getting closer and raising its whip, the hedgehog got even more anxious.

[Prickle prick!]

Hedgehog: You foolish scarecrow, I'm warning you not to come any closer!

[Prickle prick prick prick!]

Hedgehog: Summoner! Come back and save me!

[Prickle prick prick prick prick!]

Hedgehog: Wuwuwu! I promise to train hard in the future! Summoner, where are you!

Already feeling insecure due to its state of exhaustion, the hedgehog's innate timid nature is compounded.

Adding the whole scarecrow situation, it's directly scared into submission.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Confess… oh no, give up resistance, learn to enjoy!

Nevertheless, the scarecrow went bluntly forward, its vine whip viciously cracking down.

Smack!

A crisp whipping sound echoed off the hedgehog's back.

[Prick…prickle~]

The hedgehog initially wanted to scold its adversary, but its tone turned towards the end to almost cooing.

What is happening?!

After a whip, it was shocked to the core.

The whip slashed its back, clearly stinging, yet bizarrely… felt somehow invigorating.

It was like a current running through, both numbing and tingling!

The unprecedented strange sensation made the hedgehog forget to resist for the moment.

[Grass!]

Taking advantage of this, the scarecrow struck again with a whip.

[Prickle prickle~]

The hedgehog let out an ambiguous cry, its body even unknowingly leaning into it slightly.

Trouble, trouble!

Both body and mind feel so comfortable, as if it's about to succumb!

In utter confusion, it couldn't comprehend what was happening to itself.

Wanting to flee, but its four short legs were uncooperative, completely paralyzed.

Then, in the training field, an utterly bizarre scene unfolded.

[Grass!]

Smack!

[Prickle oh~]

[Grass!]

Smack!

[Prickle comfy~]

[Grass!]

Smack!

[Prickle more~]

The scarecrow continued to whip the hedgehog, while the hedgehog, though astonished and fearful, truthfully embraced the whip.

Most stunning to the hedgehog was noticing its body's layer of soap powder starting to loosen and thin.

This situation usually means the body is digesting the nutrients of the Gold Scale Soap.

But why, when battered by this scarecrow's whip, has this happened?

[Grass!]

By this time, the scarecrow leaned in closer to inspect the hedgehog.

After being vigorously whipped a couple of times, its injuries were quite serious.

However, the golden powder coating that once covered its back had entirely vanished.

According to the summoner's instructions, it should stop here.

"My turn now, eh."

Li Pu stood up upon hearing the scarecrow's call.

He glanced at the big clock on the wall; mere minutes had passed.

This was countless times faster than the cycle process Senior mentioned earlier.

Indeed, the scarecrow's big whip, its efficiency was notably high.

But Li Pu knew, just like the scarecrow's flogging, another section was equally indispensable.

That was, to come forward for healing.

Click clack…

He cracked his knuckles as he walked towards the hedgehog.

Just before, it seemed like he'd figured out a bit about the dual-force technique.

Now to test it, perhaps it could let it feel a double dose of paternal love.

[Prickle prick?]

The hedgehog, rendered immobile under the relentless lashes, glanced apprehensively as Li Pu approached.

Why didn't the limping one come to rescue it earlier, and why now the eager gesture?

Li Pu wasn't aware of the hedgehog's sentiments; he merely stood over it, speaking one line.

"Call me daddy."
