"But I'm not sure if you can handle it right now."

From Li Fan's tone, he had a solution, but it seemed Li Pu couldn't manage it just yet.

"Please go ahead, teacher."

However, Li Pu's intention was very firm.

This batch of aphids is a rare, effective related material and key to leveling up the scarecrow.

With feedback from the summoned beast, the stronger the scarecrow becomes, the stronger he himself becomes.

To enter the Little Element World early and complete Mr. Tu's commission, this preliminary step must be completed.

"Do you remember, I promised to teach you the advanced version of [Sprint] after you get first place in the monthly exam?"

Li Fan asked.

"I remember."

Li Pu immediately nodded.

Li Fan's advanced [Sprint] included ignoring volume penetration and electrical effects, which seemed very suitable for dealing with aphid swarms, a relatively dense placement of magical insects.

Just traversing through the swarm a few times might be enough to shock them all to death.

But there was still more than a week before the monthly exam.

He thought Li Fan's requirement of first place in the monthly exam was merely to test his proficiency in [Sprint].

So...

"Teacher, can you come out for a moment?"

And thus Li Pu led Li Fan outside the door.

"Haha, are you in such a hurry?"

Li Fan quickly discerned his student's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "I admit you've learned [Sprint] quite quickly, but... hmm?"

Before he could finish, he saw Li Pu nearly turn into a shadow and dash away.

"Uh, what's going on here."

Watching that swiftly disappearing figure, Li Fan was stunned.

This guy has only learned [Sprint] for a few days, right?

Already reaching such a level of speed?!

It's important to know that the speed of [Sprint] mainly involves two points: proficiency with this summoning skill, and the summoner's own physical fitness.

Familiarity with the skill is not worth mentioning, as once it reaches a certain level, everyone is more or less similar, except for some exceptional cases.

In terms of proficiency being about the same, whoever has better physical fitness will be faster.

In just a few days, Li Fan didn't believe Li Pu's proficiency could have improved significantly, as it's a process of time accumulation.

But speaking of physical fitness, his student is only above average among students.

Let alone above an excellent teacher, even an average teacher would have better physical fitness, thanks to the feedback from the summoned beast, which is beyond question.

However, why was Li Fan so surprised now? Because the scene presented to him was simply too exaggerated.

If previously he thought Li Pu's [Sprint] was at 60% of his ordinary level, now it was close to 80-90% of his ordinary level.

What does this mean? It means that even a typical teacher using [Sprint] would only have this speed!

Of course, Li Fan himself specializes in [Sprint], the one with extraordinary proficiency.

If he powers up to full in a short burst, he would be much faster than the ordinary level.

But even so, it was enough to show how outrageous Li Pu was.

"What is this crazy guy doing? How the heck is he training?"

"No, could it be the effect of Dual Force?"

When he saw Li Pu running back, Li Fan finally guessed the answer.

"Teacher, am I up to the standard now?"

Li Pu was slightly panting, clearly having used his utmost strength while running.

"..."

Li Fan's expression became uncharacteristically serious and solemn.

Pat.

He lit a cigarette to mask his emotions in front of the student.

The Dual Force, indeed, lives up to its name.

Moreover, mastering the use of Dual Force is much harder than activating [Sprint].

Yet this guy managed it in just a few days.

In fact, Li Fan didn't know that typically controlling Dual Force is indeed extremely difficult.

But Li Pu's situation was different; his Dual Force wasn't two forces, one strong and one weak.

It was the equally matched power of the summoned beast and the summoner, and the two had assimilated with each other significantly.

And following the concept of balance as a guiding philosophy, controlling it was much easier than ordinary Dual Force.

"Not bad, the only downside is the initiation speed is a bit slow, can't do an instant cast yet."

In the end, Li Fan decided to treat this extraordinary student with an extraordinarily strict attitude.

"Indeed."

Li Pu humbly nodded in agreement.

Currently, the energy in his body still needed deliberate activation, which was the biggest obstacle to instant casting.

To overcome it, he could only practice diligently, forming a state akin to muscle memory.

"Alright, let's talk inside."

With half a cigarette still in his mouth, Li Fan turned around and went back into the room.

"Now, let me tell you the truth about the upgraded version of [Sprint]."

Li Pu had just sat down again when he heard Li Fan's voice.

This brought a gleam to his eyes, it seemed his teacher was ready to teach him.

"Actually, rather than calling it the upgraded version of [Sprint]."

"It's more accurate to say it's a synergy fusion skill of summoner abilities."

"I call it [Void Thunder]."

Li Fan picked up a piece of paper on the table and wrote a line of words with a pen.

[Sprint] + [Voidification] + [Thunder Armor] = ?

Though it was just a simple equation, it suddenly dawned on Li Pu.

So this is the truth behind the teacher's upgraded [Sprint]?

[Voidification] is a fairly common life-saving skill among summoners, second in popularity only to [Blink].

It can temporarily put a summoner into a void state, a condition even more formidable than phantom-like states, allowing them to completely evade all attacks during its duration.

This matches the invisible volume penetration of the upgraded [Sprint] very well.

Secondly, [Thunder Armor] is a very niche summoner skill, even more obscure than [Sprint].

In fact, it wasn't even listed in their first-year course selection.

However, Li Pu was roughly aware of its effect, which was to temporarily cover the summoner's body with an armor imbued with the Power of Thunder.

During that period, the summoner isn't affected by this Power of Thunder and can cause electrical damage to targets that touch him.

This explains why [Void Thunder] carries an electrical attack when penetrating targets.

"But, teacher..."

Li Pu understood, but still had doubts.

The energy operating pathway of just the [Sprint] skill was complex enough to make his head spin.

Using these three skills together, how challenging would it be?

Besides, after mastering [Sprint], he understood even more that merging these three skills wasn't as simple as 1+1+1.

The operating pathways among them must have been adjusted.

It might even reach a complexity level of 1+1+1=5 or 6.

"I know what you want to say, no need for concern."

However, Li Fan himself was an out-and-out genius.

After thorough research, he had already optimized the operating pathway of [Void Thunder] to less than 3, otherwise, how could it be called a secret ultimate move.

"What you truly need to consider is what kind of upgraded version you really want."

"It doesn't necessarily have to follow me in using [Void Thunder]."

"Everyone's style and traits are different; what's best suited for you is the best."

Li Fan's words were unexpected for Li Pu.

"These are the skills I can impart to you and suitable for synergy fusion."

Then, he wrote nearly ten summoner skills on the paper.

Many of these were not in the course selection list.

"This..."

At this moment, Li Pu felt that he truly found himself a good teacher.

Soon, one of the skills caught his attention.
