The instant activation of [Sprint] is Wu Guinan's unique advantage on this field.
Combined with his near unbeatable speed, it allows him to launch a surprise attack with ease.
"Loser."
However, Li Pu just glanced up before charging forward without any hesitation.
If it were someone else, he might have observed first or even been a bit cautious.
But with Wu Guinan's weak physique, there's no need to worry.
"Prepare to meet your doom!"
Wu Guinan, on the other hand, shouted with enthusiasm.
"Come, let's have a fair fight!"
He said as he collided with Li Pu's still suspended arm.
"..."
Li Pu was speechless on the spot.
Fortunately, after living together for a month, he somewhat understood this guy's antics and was prepared in advance.
Initially, Mr. Tu said it would take about a week for his arm to heal, but that wasn't the case.
Because Mr. Tu didn't account for Li Pu's summoning beast lineage.
His self-healing ability is much stronger than the average person's.
Only a few days have passed, and it's already considered healed.
So he freed himself from the sling and charged forward with full force.
(Damn, this guy is faking his injury!)
Having a good understanding of Li Pu, Wu Guinan immediately sensed something was wrong.
But by then, there was no turning back, and he couldn't dodge in time.
Bam!
In the next second, the two collided head-on.
Sure enough, Wu Guinan was sent flying several meters away.
"Woah, this guy is really this tough!"
In mid-air, he uttered some inexplicable dialogue.
"Hiss...!"
However, Li Pu wasn't in great shape either.
The mutual force between them made him feel like he had been hit by a cannonball, causing pain in his chest.
Upon taking a closer look at Wu Guinan's side, he noticed the clue—it really was a cannonball.
A mini version of the roly-poly turtle had fallen out from his embrace.
"...So despicable."
Li Pu suddenly understood a truth.
Maybe even someone as weak as Wu Guinan has something worth learning from.
This kind of cunning can be a good quality.
The brief obstruction caused by Wu Guinan indeed had its effect.
Because of various reasons today, Li Pu's [Sprint] speed wasn't as fast, and now with this delay, other red team forwards who had caught on closed in on him.
If it were just one or two people, it wouldn't be a big deal—he could handle it.
But to have a dozen of them surrounding him shows how much they value Li Pu.
"Stop him!"
"Grab his legs!"
"Hold his hands!"
"Grab his waist!"
"Lift his shirt, I want to see those abs!"
Figures pounced on him, forming a human mound strategy in just a couple of seconds, burying Li Pu at the bottom.
"We've got him!"
"Let's see where you run now!"
"Awesome! Strength in numbers!"
"Quick! Lift the shirt!"
Seeing Li Pu completely covered, the red team players were a bit excited.
This was the top student of the grade, and they had taken him down together, which was quite an accomplishment.
But just as they spoke, everyone felt a strong force pushing up from below.
"Whoa, this guy's a monster!"
"We still can't hold him down like this?!"
"Quick! More people, help out!"
Li Pu's attempts to break free panicked them.
Thus, another five or six members of the red team hurriedly joined in the suppression.
Even though Li Pu's body was much stronger than the others', with over a dozen people on top of him, he couldn't resist any longer.
[Ribbit ribbit!]
At this moment, the frog referee also declared the blue team's first ball possession ended.
From the halfway line to the scoring area is about 100 meters, and Li Pu's sprint only moved them 10 meters forward.
There are still 2 ball possession opportunities left, so the situation is quite unfavorable for the blue team.
However, a few sharp-eyed blue team members had already noticed the presence of the roly-poly turtle.
Now, it was scampering with its little legs, hurrying towards Wu Guinan.
"Teacher, isn't this a foul?"
Blue team members immediately protested this behavior to Teacher Chen in the stands.
Knowing Teacher Chen's level, Wu Guinan's little tricks wouldn't escape her eyes.
[From a rules perspective, his summoned beast isn't actively interfering in the match.]
[Therefore, it's not considered a foul.]
Faced with the students' protest, she picked up the microphone.
"Huh?" xN
Such a response clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Yeah, yeah! Can't I just have a good bond with my summoned beast?"
"We're inseparable, and I usually carry it in my arms!"
Having gained support, Wu Guinan immediately defended himself.
After saying this, he patted his chest, grimaced immediately, and silently cursed Li Pu for being outrageous.
Though it was the flat side of the turtle shell facing him, he still felt quite a bit of chest pain.
"Teacher Chen, is this really okay?"
Similarly, Jiang Guiju was rather skeptical about this.
"Of course."
Teacher Chen smiled with her lips pursed, and her eyes rolled as she said, "Don't you think this might make things more interesting?"
"..."
At this moment, Jiang Guiju realized that Teacher Chen wasn't as serious as she seemed, looking a bit like she didn't mind making things more lively.
Hearing the words from the microphone, Li Pu struggled to emerge from beneath the crowd.
"So, they play like this, huh."
He patted the grass off his body, gritting his teeth while smiling.
Not just him, after hearing Teacher Chen's words, players from both red and blue teams also started to brainstorm.
They wanted to see if there was any way for their summoning beasts to passively join in the cheating—oh no, rather, helping.
[Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit!]
At this time, under Teacher Chen's gesture, the frog referee raised the signal gun once more.
Seeing this, the students from both teams quickly re-formed their positions.
This time, the lineup was positioned 10 meters closer to the red team's scoring area, a result of Li Pu's charge.
"Attention everyone! Strategy No.2!"
While waiting for the signal, the blue team captain shouted out.
"What?! You're using Strategy No.2 already?!"
"No way, are you sure?!"
"So soon to use Strategy No.2..."
The reactions from a few blue team forwards made the red team feel a sense of déjà vu.
Just then, the red team captain had a sudden brainwave.
He quickly released his summoned creature, a floating pumpkin.
The pumpkin monster, a type of ghostly summoned creature, had the ability to fly at low altitudes.
With the pumpkin monster's aerial view, he could immediately see who had the ball, no longer hindered by the blue team's forwards blocking his view.
With Wu Guinan's precedent, this shouldn't be considered a foul, right?
He's just letting his summoned creature scout around, not causing any active influence.
[Ribbit!]
Bam!
The signal gun went off, and the blue team began a new round of actions.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of its high vantage point, the pumpkin monster relayed the blue team's every move directly to the red team captain through telepathy.
"..."
As a result, the red team captain was immediately silent.
He thought to himself that the blue team captain was really something, coming up with such a deceptive call.
It turns out that your Strategy No. 2 is just honestly handing the ball back to Li Pu.
By analogy, does Strategy No.3, No.4, No.5, No.6... all work the same way?
