1 Li Pu

Li Pu had a disability.

He was born to be a cripple.

At this time, he was limping on the campus of Western Capital University, where new students were coming and going.

All of these new students were accompanied by strange species.

Horned tigers, winged slimes, walking treants, beast-eared girls, and beast-tailed men were common here.

About two hundred years ago, the world welcomed an unprecedented change.

Parts of the technological power had failed, the size of the planet had changed, and new continental plates had appeared.

The spatial rifts that connected various unknown worlds and the descent of many magical beasts had greatly threatened the survival of mankind.

In particular, many magical beasts had mighty strength and unbelievable supernatural means.

Even under the protection of the mutated world rules, firearms, weapons, and other old technological forces were unable to cause effective damage to the magical beasts. For a time, humans fell into a state of helplessness.

Fortunately, a group of awakened superpowered people stood up at that time.

These people were called Summoners.

A Summoner could establish a contract with a magical beast and use its power to fight.

Their appearance became the only hope and answer for mankind in the face of the world's change.

Therefore, after more than ten years of fighting, the crisis of human survival was finally solved.

To this day, there were still large and small problems caused by magical beasts both inside and outside the federation's territory.

However, the living environment of humans was already in a very peaceful state. After getting used to it, it was actually not much different from before the great change.

In such a large environment, the research and cultivation of Summoners became popular.

Western Capital University, the Summoner University of the Western Capital.

As its name suggested, this was an Academy that specialized in training Summoners.

Currently, Li Pu was a first-year student here.

"All the best, just a little bit more."

As he walked, he secretly cheered himself on.

Today was the last day of the freshmen's admission, if he still couldn't summon his own magical beast, then he would face the dilemma of being rejected.

One had to know that as of this morning, 99% of the freshmen had already successfully summoned their own magical beasts.

He was the last person in this admission test who had not completed the summoning.

Li Pu felt that If he was rejected here, he would lose the chance to become a Summoner. This would mean that he would have to choose a normal high school that wasn't for Summoners.

However...that would be great.

The situation he was hoping for would happen.

This way, he wouldn't have to face the dozens of blind dates arranged by his grandfather.

"You're already 18 years old. It's time for you to reproduce."

These were his grandfather's exact words, and they were outrageous.

Li Pu was obviously unwilling to accept such an arrangement.

However, his grandfather was his only family member, and it wasn't easy for him to raise Li Pu.

Li Pu also did not want to go against his grandfather's wishes. After all, this was also a manifestation of love.

The above was all bullshit.

The actual reason was that he couldn't defeat that old man, so his protest was invalid.

Therefore, Li Pu changed his mind and chose the long-standing but remote Summoner University of the Western Capital. He wanted to stay out of the limelight for now.

If it wasn't for his grandfather's threat, he wouldn't even want to choose a Summoner-type Academy.

However, the current situation made Li Pu feel like he was blessed by the heavens.

Being expelled from a Summoner-type Academy would definitely be a great disadvantage for him during the blind date. No, it would be an advantage.

He had roughly read the information of those blind dates, and they should not be able to accept a non-Summoner.

If the news of him being expelled spread, the other side might even forfeit.

It was a pity that his grandfather's acquaintances were his eyes and ears in this school.

If not, Li Pu would have already planned to run away. He would not have to go through all the necessary procedures.

As he walked, he came to a pavilion surrounded by greens.

Not only were the paths filled with flowers and trees, but there were also creeper vines growing on the walls of the building.

There was a plaque hanging on the gate, and two words were written on it in simple and elegant ink.

Wind Listener.

According to their different styles, summoned magical beasts were divided into seven categories.

The Balance type. The type that pursued harmony and balance.

The Berserk type. The type that was known for being bloodthirsty.

The Intelligence type. The type that could comprehend mysteries.

The Resolute type. The type that could provide persistent protection.

The Breaking type. The type that was known for being indomitable.

The Wind Chaser type. The type that kept running.

Last but not least, the Wind Listener type. The type that emphasized peace and tranquility.

In these seven categories, prospective new students had the priority to choose the department building they were interested in to take the admission test.

However, in reality, interest was not the decisive factor in the success of the summoning.

The freshmen's conditions, their compatibility with the summoned beast, and even their luck would greatly affect the result of the summoning.

For new students, each library would only give one summoning opportunity.

Li Pu had already tried the first six.

To no avail.

Therefore, this Wind Listener Pavilion was his last hope of being expelled.

There weren't many people in the hall at the moment, because the semester hadn't really started yet, so most of them were new students.

Since they had already successfully summoned their beasts, their purpose here was different from Li Pu's. They were here to borrow the facilities in the hall to train their summoned beasts.

However, before Li Pu could enter the pavilion, he heard a loud shout from inside.

"Everyone, be careful! My Tuan Tuan has lost control!"

"F*ck! Quickly dodge!"

"Whose summoned beast is this?!"

"Is there anyone who can stop it?"

"This is bad, it's going to roll out!"

Li Pu, who was standing at the entrance of the pavilion, saw something that looked like a truck tire rolling toward him.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The summoned beast was definitely not light in weight, seeing that it crushed the concrete ground in its path and caused cracks to appear.

Such a commotion was rather terrifying for the new students who had never seen much of the world.

Instantly, many people looked at Li Pu.

The reason was that he was standing right in the path of the rolling turtle.

"Classmate! Quickly run!"

The owner of the rolling turtle, who noticed this situation, was very anxious and shouted loudly to remind him.

One had to know that this was a D-grade summoned beast. It was definitely not something that ordinary people could stop.

However, what the male student did not expect was that the other party did not seem to be an ordinary person.

"..."

Li Pu looked at the turtle shell with a calm expression.

"This is bad, I can't bear to see it!"

"Oh no!"

"I'm afraid he's been scared silly. Why isn't he running away?"

Some of the freshmen couldn't help but cover their eyes when they saw this scene.

However, just as the turtle shell was about to hit Li Pu, he suddenly raised his left foot.

Thud!

Before anyone could react, his foot stepped on the turtle shell.

The huge force stopped the violent momentum of rolling, causing the out-of-control rolling turtle to suddenly stop.

Clang clang clang!

As the shell of the heavy turtle fell off, the surroundings fell into silence.

Li Pu looked at the turtle shell on the ground and walked into the building as if nothing had happened. He muttered to himself.

"What do you mean by run? I'm a cripple."
