The dormitory accommodated four people per room, with Li Pu sharing a room with Wu Guinan, Fu Erdai, and Ma He.

"The organizers are really generous."

Wu Guinan couldn't help but exclaim while looking at the six containers in the hall.

Each container was as big as a moving box, filled with materials.

Every contestant who participated in today's arena matches received them.

According to the delivery person's description earlier, these were provided to nourish their summoned creatures.

Although the competition site had complete medical facilities, allowing the injured to get immediate treatment offstage, and even free resurrection charms were provided by the organizers.

But the mental and physical fatigue could not be treated.

So, the organizers prepared relatively suitable materials for each participating summoned creature.

Each material container was labeled with a relevant introduction.

The marsh creature was allocated river honey.

A natural honey originating from the bottom of an otherworldly river, capable of alleviating fatigue for plant-based summoned creatures.

Bubu was given light vine cores.

The central stem core of an F-level luminous vine-type magical creature.

[Grass!]

The marsh creature reached out and dabbed at the river honey, then shook its head disdainfully.

It tasted nowhere near as good as cola.

[Eat, eat, eat!]

Bubu wasn't too fond of the light vine core either, it looked shriveled and not appetizing at all.

But what Li Pu saw was different from them.

"This thing..."

He picked up a light vine core, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

[LV1-Luminous (F)] 3/100

Active effect: Makes leaves emit meaningless light

Attribute requirement: 1~10 Wood

Type requirement: None

Race requirement: Leaf-type

Indeed, it was a related material.

Furthermore, this entire box of light vine cores had at least 40 or 50 pieces.

Perhaps in the eyes of the organizers, this was a cheap recovery item.

But for him, it was different; it was a related material that could be used for sacrifice!

Upon checking the other boxes, they also seemed quite attractive.

The rolling turtle received big cabbage leaves.

From a kind of useless F-level plant magical creature that was slightly better than the marsh creature's species.

The big hippo got a box of water ghost grass heads.

An E-level aquatic plant-type magical creature that looked hideous and terrifying, and was very small.

The spherical balls woven like seaweed were their heads and torsos, lacking any facial features.

The fire cricket received flaming fruits.

A type of fruit that could catch fire, and fire-type summoned creatures typically loved it.

The big bat got a box of insect legs and feet of unknown origin.

The introduction revealed they came from an F-level magical creature called the Greedy Mosquito, each leg was about the size of a palm.

Li Pu touched each container, discovering that apart from the marsh creature's and the fire cricket's which were naturally occurring in the other world, the rest were all related materials.

And like the marsh creature and Bubu, most of them seemed disdainful of these materials.

Mainly because today's arena matches were relatively simple; everyone didn't exert much effort and didn't feel fatigued.

After gaining consent, Li Pu immediately took the big cabbage leaves, water ghost grass heads, and Greedy Mosquito legs into his possession.

Adding the light vine cores, he now had four related materials.

Planning to sacrifice them to the marsh creature later should be enough for it to level up 2~4 levels.

Of course, Li Pu declared to them that this was snack time for Bubu.

However, when they saw the small kangaroo collecting all the materials into its pouch with a look of discontent, they weren't too convinced.

As compensation, Li Pu shared the marsh creature's river honey.

Unexpectedly, the rolling turtle and the big hippo quite enjoyed it, each took a big gulp, almost emptying the container.

Besides nourishment materials for the summoned creatures, each of them was also given a bottle of summoner-specific drink.

If they overly used summoning skills on the arena stage during the day, leading to mental fatigue, they could drink it to relax and unwind.

Although Fu Erdai didn't lack this, Li Pu still gave him his own bottle.

"Strange, why does your bottle taste salty?"

Originally just taking a symbolic sip, Fu Erdai frowned slightly.

Ma He: "That's odd, ours are sweet and fragrant."

Fu Erdai: "His bottle is salty and has a strange plant residue taste."

While the two were puzzled, Li Pu had already left the dormitory, taking with him the culprit that made the drink salty out of curiosity, a certain kangaroo.

Li Pu made a trip to Chang Shoushang, Wang Nuonuo, and Jiang Guiju to get the materials they were allocated.

Everyone handed them over without a word.

Fortuitously, the materials their five summoned creatures received were all full related materials.

After finding a secluded corner for a wave of sacrifices, the marsh creature's level was boosted once again.

Marsh Creature: 0(3)→LV20→27, Listen to the Wind

Strength: 273→305, F

This marked the first time the marsh creature's strength surpassed the 300 mark.

To celebrate, he bought a box of cola for the marsh creature, planning to let it have its fill that night.

Just as he walked out of the supermarket, he encountered someone.

"Li Pu?"

The other person recognized him first.

"You are... Long Ren."

Li Pu stopped and turned around, remembering the other person's name.

With the same warm and friendly smile, albeit without the underlying sense of danger, perhaps since it was off the arena.

The half-dragon man followed him, walking majestically.

The giant fire scorpion was nowhere to be seen, probably stored in a containment space.

Both were a bit surprised that the other knew them.

"I watched your performance in the arena today, very impressive."

It was Long Ren who first broke the awkward silence.

"I've sparred privately with Senior Huang Feifei."

"Never expected someone to catch his Left-Handed Blade barehanded."

At this, Long Ren displayed a look of admiration.

Unclear if he was envious of Huang Feifei's skill of merging with a summoned creature, or Li Pu's ability to catch a white blade with bare hands.

"You're not bad... The half-dragon creature is quite handsome."

Li Pu wanted to return the compliment, but he was at a loss for words for a while.

There was no other way; their match ended too quickly, a one-sided crush with little chance for display.

"Really, I think it's pretty cool too."

Long Ren said while scratching the half-dragon creature's chin.

[Grrrrr!]

The half-dragon creature squinted comfortably, making a strange rumbling sound in its throat.

If it were a cute summoned creature, that would be fine, but this was a half-dragon creature taller than Long Ren by a head, making for an odd scene.

Long Ren: "So, would you like to spar with my lil' dragon?"

Li Pu: "Sure, when?"

Long Ren: "Now."

Li Pu: "Hm?"

Originally he thought the other was just making some polite conversation, but it turned out to be a genuine challenge?

This was indeed a bit surprising.
