Perhaps every summoned beast has its own special ability in terms of physical traits.

For example, the hard shell of the Rolling Turtle, the external fire of the Fire Cricket, the wings of the Needle Bird.

And the Straw Man's special ability is to leak.

In fact, during the battle in the southern forest, Li Pu discovered a fact early on.

That is, the Straw Man is almost immune to piercing attacks.

Because it's woven from straw, and its body is full of gaps.

In other words, this guy is inherently leaky, so stabbing it is useless.

Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any vital weak point on the Straw Man.

Li Pu once observed the Straw Man meticulously and found that this guy seemed to have no ears, no nose, and no heart or lungs.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't even have a brain.

It sounds like an insult, but it's indeed the truth.

Its inside is completely empty, or rather, nothing but straw.

Logically, this can hardly be considered a life form.

Yet it lives well, which can only be explained as an unknown, inexplicable principle.

"Ah, that Fu kid ultimately miscalculated."

In the audience, a teacher was the first to react.

Though you can't really blame him, considering even they rarely have experience fighting Straw Men, let alone a freshman.

But at this time, Fu Erdai was still unaware of this fact.

"Well played."

He turned to Li Pu and showed a rather friendly smile.

"..."

Li Pu looked at him, blinked twice, and then put on a dejected look: "Sigh..."

[Straw...Straw!]

And the Straw Man on the field cooperatively swayed a few times with difficulty, then fell to the ground smoothly.

Thud!

"As expected, Fu Erdai won!"

"His Stone Thrust was really well hidden!"

"But the Straw Man did really well too, to fight against the Fire Cricket to this extent, it really surprised me."

"It's just unfortunate, this is a natural restraint."

The freshmen present were both impressed and regretful, and everyone started applauding the emergence of the tournament's first place.

"..."

"..."

"..."

However, the referee teacher didn't announce the result for a long time, instead giving a long silence.

As a referee, how could he be fooled by such poor acting?

Moreover, as a senior Summoner, their perception is different from that of freshmen.

At this moment, it's clear that the Straw Man still possesses vigorous vitality.

With a slight movement of thought, the referee teacher understood what trick the Straw Man, or rather Li Pu, wanted to use.

(This kid really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.)

(It looks like being his homeroom teacher in the future won't be easy.)

(I just hope he doesn't choose me.)

Seeing the Fire Cricket celebrating by stepping on the Straw Man, he knew this final was about to end.

[Cricket you, cricket!]

[Straw!]

Sure enough, the jubilant Fire Cricket had just let out a cry when it felt its leg being grabbed.

Straw Man: Now I've caught you, Ben Cao.

In an instant, the Straw Man exploded with energy.

Grabbing the long leg of the Fire Cricket, it started smashing it continuously against the ground.

Bam splash!

Bam splash!

Bam splash!

As Fire Cricket collided violently with the ground, water kept splashing up.

It was hit over and over again, making it dizzy.

Although this amount of water wasn't enough to extinguish the flame on its body, the intensity of the burn had weakened significantly.

Everything happened in a flash.

It took a moment for the freshmen to finally respond.

"What the heck?! The Straw Man came back to life?!"

"It, it, it! Wasn't it stabbed to death?!"

"Could it be that this is a mutant Straw Man, a Zombie Straw?"

"The key is it's still wearing stone pillars, yet moving so nimbly."

"It's so outrageous, my gosh."

[Roll!]

The sudden second reversal caused their amazement.

And the beating on the stage continued.

[Straw!]

Just when it seemed like the other side was going to continue smashing it, the Fire Cricket suddenly felt its body flipped over, then another leg was grabbed by the Straw Man.

[Cricket you, you beast!]

Lying there now, its belly was facing up, and its two long hind legs were grabbed—a very awkward position.

But nothing awkward happened; the Straw Man was merely adjusting itself to prepare for the final attack.

[Crick, cricket you, don't!]

Suddenly, it saw the Straw Man lift its foot.

Those who've seen the Straw Man in the ring know this is when it starts its foot techniques.

[Straw stamp stamp stamp stamp stamp!]

Sure enough, the next second, the Straw Man began stomping the Fire Cricket with considerable force and at high frequency.

[Crick... blurgh!]

This time, the Fire Cricket couldn't even cry out and started spewing blue blood.

"Teacher, I surrender!"

Seeing this, Fu Erdai didn't hesitate to concede.

Because he already sensed through feedback that the Fire Cricket was in very bad shape now.

"Well played."

This time it was Li Pu's turn to look at the other side, returning the earlier words exactly as they were.

"Sigh..."

Unlike Li Pu earlier, Fu Erdai truly sighed.

"The final winner of this year's freshman tournament—Li Pu."

With the referee teacher's announcement, the day's tournament finally had a conclusive result.

Faced with this result, the freshmen were once again in an uproar.

"This is insane, was he first again?"

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable."

"Is the Straw Man really such a strong summoned beast? Should my next summoned beast also be a Straw Man?"

"Dream on, do you have what it takes to train a Straw Man to be the highest in the grade?"

"You're right, in the end, it's Li Pu who is outrageous..."

Various remarks reached Fu Erdai's ears, and he only caught two key phrases: Li Pu (outrageous) and Straw Man.

"You fought well."

Beside him, Li Pu patted Fu Erdai's shoulder reassuringly.

[Straw!]

At this moment, the Straw Man was teleported back.

[Straw straw straw!]

Straw Man: Summoner! Ben Cao is exhausted! Request cola IV drip immediately!

Who knows where it learned the new term "IV," but it was acting all pathetic in front of Li Pu, begging for pity.

Though truth be told, given its special bodily structure, drinking directly or receiving a cola drip would both bring the same joy to the Straw Man.

"Good job."

Li Pu knew this battle was rather fierce, so he opened a bottle of cola and handed it over to the Straw Man.

[Straw straw straw!]

The Straw Man raised its arms in cheer, and its mouth even drooled a little.

Clearly, it wasn't that exhausted.

"Li Pu, student."

Just then, this match's referee teacher came over.

"Ahem."

He cleared his throat and then took out a microphone.

[According to the rules of the tournament, you now have the first choice of specialty and homeroom teacher]

[Once you've decided, the next in line is Fu Erdai]
