Chapter 981 - 632: Ambush Preparations

"As expected."

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Li Pu saw the already scale-shedding Master of Sacred Void.

However, judging by the extent of the injuries, it wasn't too severe.

On the contrary, the cactus fusion body as the opponent was bombed by Number 2, sprawled on the ground like a heap of mush.

A large number of Demon Cacti continued to pour in for support.

At this moment, Li Pu was standing on the ground, and even around him, cacti were crawling out and running towards the battlefield.

He noticed that perhaps because there was a bigger vendetta elsewhere, those cacti almost ignored him.

At most, a few nearby ones would point at him and curse incomprehensibly in cactus speech as they hurried past.

On the other side, the Master of Sacred Void seemed to be getting a bit heated.

Even if it couldn't find the real Li Pu, it was still fully engaged with the cactus fusion body.

"Once both sides have expended a significant wave, I should just about be able to make my move." ℯℯ𝘭.

Observing the situation on both sides, Li Pu murmured to himself.

"..."

Chai Pan heard this and didn't know what would be best to say.

Just when he felt like he should dissuade, his earpiece rang.

"Contestant Li Pu, I need to leave for a bit."

"Please do not act rashly."

He took out his flight device, equipped himself, left those words, and soared into the sky.

High above, on a platform camouflaged as a cloud, stood the emergency Judges Group Two, led by Chief Judge Wang.

"Comrade Chai Pan, I need you to explain the current situation."

Judge Wang needed a detailed report.

So Chai Pan held nothing back, pouring out everything he had seen and heard.

"..." xN

After listening, everyone fell silent.

But soon, they began to discuss.

"In terms of rules, it doesn't seem like he's actually broken any."

"But it's incredibly audacious to use a Level 8 turn Demon Beast for an assignment."

"The crux is... how do you win against this?"

"Chief Judge, quickly stop him, otherwise he might lose his life."

"Yes, it's our turn to take action."

Some even urged Judge Wang to disqualify Li Pu from the competition.

"No, everyone, stay where you are."

But Judge Wang gave the opposite order.

Because she saw that this Master of Sacred Void couldn't completely extricate itself.

In other words, its danger level was quite low.

Or to be more precise, the danger range was very small.

On the contrary, it was now helping Qi Du clear out the Demon Cacti.

She realized Li Pu's scheme.

Anyone capable of creating such a plan wouldn't make a suicidal move.

"You better stay up here for now; just remain here."

"This guy isn't as simple as you think."

Additionally, Judge Wang also had Chai Pan stay on the floating platform, to avoid causing any hindrance down below.

After the fourth round, she specifically sought out an acquaintance to inquire about Li Pu.

This acquaintance was Hidekura Kayo.

"Is this... really okay?"

Chai Pan was half-doubtful.

But following a superior's order, he could only comply.

In this way, Li Pu hid in a concealed spot, watching the battle from afar.

Unbeknownst to him, five hours had passed just like that.

As for the Master of Sacred Void, it naturally went without saying; its stamina was almost bottomless.

Even after all this fighting, there was no sign of fatigue.

After all, for it in the past, battling fiercely in the void against strong enemies for three days and nights was commonplace.

As for the cacti, they were equally fearsome.

Li Pu estimated that cacti from the entire desert kept pouring in as reinforcements, and despite the long battle, the flow of their reinforcements showed no reduction.

No wonder they were considered an untouchable disaster in the desert.

Now they had perfectly fulfilled his plan, which was to stall the Master of Sacred Void.

"It's time to start again."

However, Li Pu was more concerned with Number 2's panel.

Five hours had passed, and the inherent skill [Spare Machine] had cooled down completely.

[Never forget, Summoner!]

Receiving Li Pu's order, Number 2 prepared to set off once more.

Buzz!

A flash of light emanated from it, with a halo appearing above its head.

Activating [Power of Light], it could enhance the explosive power further.

Whoosh!

Under the propulsion of Turbo, it soared skyward.

A frontal assault was too easily defended by the Master of Sacred Void.

Before managing to get into the blast range, it could possibly be destroyed.

Therefore, Number 2 employed the hardest defense against the vertical drop method.

As long as the ascent height was sufficient, falling from high altitude could not be stopped by even the Master of Sacred Void.

And according to Li Pu's instructions, this time, its target was not the Master of Sacred Void's main body.

But rather the void portal.

He still maintained his rationality and didn't harbor the delusion of taking down this S-level, 8-turn LV110 beast.

The goal was still to scrape a little something off of it.

Based on the previous experience, it required the cutting property of the void portal's contraction to achieve this.

It had already been proven that even the Master of Sacred Void found it hard to completely resist that cutting property.

So the first step had to start with the void portal.

However, the Master of Sacred Void wasn't a fool. This time it had pre-strengthened the portal, keeping it stable so far.

Boom!!!

In the distance, a mushroom cloud rose.

[Howl!!! You cursed thing!]

The roar of the Master of Sacred Void rang out.

Whoosh!

Number 2's figure reappeared beside him.

[I failed, Summoner!]

It sought credit from Li Pu.

The center of this explosion landed precisely on the void portal.
