Returning to the duel between the Grassman and the Half-dragon.

In terms of strength and magnetic properties, the Half-dragon actually has a clear advantage.

Currently, the Grassman's strength is 316.

With its current level of rooting technique, it can provide an amplification of about 50%, which comes to 474.

Compared to the Half-dragon, which has a strength exceeding 500, there's still quite a gap.

If you use a D-level 0-turn LV1 Rolling Turtle as the measurement unit, the strength difference is at least about 3 Turtles.

Rolling Turtle: [Roll!]

As for magnetic attributes, the Half-dragon is 5 dragon 5 fire, also slightly superior.

The "Dragon" attribute is a relatively rare magnetic attribute, possessed only by summoned beasts/magical beasts with dragon bloodline.

Its effect is that it can exert a magnetic suppression effect on any kind of beast.

The Grassman isn't affected by this, but it suffers in the 5 fire aspect.

Added with its sharp claws, it can exploit slashing attacks to gain an elemental counter over the Grassman's body structure.

This is why Long Ren previously thought the Grassman was no match for the Half-dragon; it was based on solid evidence.

However, whether this confidence can continue after today is uncertain.

The Grassman doesn't have many advantages over the Half-dragon, with the most obvious being its diversity of tactics.

There's no choice, because its Summoner is really unorthodox.

[Dragon Dragon!]

When the Half-dragon tore off all the vines, it was also when the Grassman completed its rooting.

The Summoner had just said to let it do as it pleased in this round.

So based on past combat experience, its choice was to first create distance.

Back then, when the teacher was giving a lecture to Long Ren, the Half-dragon was present.

So it recognized that this was not a trivial rooting technique.

However, rooting has a huge drawback, which is... it's difficult to move!

With difficult movement, it means the opponent has a short reach.

[Grass Grass!]

But just as this thought crossed its mind, a shadow like a whip swung towards the Half-dragon while it was defenseless.

Its cheek took a solid punch.

The punch was powerful, causing it to soar half a meter into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Thud!

[Dragon?!]

Sitting up with its face covered, the Half-dragon was in shock and uncertainty.

The hands can extend?!

Is this a Grassman or a Vine-man?!

"This Grassman... is different!"

Long Ren, watching from the side, also looked at the Grassman in shock.

How to describe the current Grassman, perhaps calling it a Multi-Hand Grass Creature would be more fitting.

Because on its back, several jade-like vine arms had sprouted and intertwined, looking like a tentacle monster!

The credit for this vine hand form trick of the Grassman goes to Li Pu.

Ever since the Grassman first demonstrated rooting to him, he has been contemplating and experimenting on how to compensate for its immobility.

He then invented techniques like the vine hand form.

Simply put, it's about making the Grassman practice more to achieve flexible use of vines.

However, the vine hand form, as a means for the Grassman to make up for rooting, also has a drawback.

It consumes an extreme amount of energy.

Its Wind attribute only allows it to maintain the vine hand form in a state of greatly accelerated energy recovery.

[Grass Grass!]

Currently, the Grassman is unrelenting, extending its vine hands to try to drag the Half-dragon in for a pounding.

But the Half-dragon isn't easy to deal with; once it was on guard, it wouldn't easily fall for it.

[Long Nilon!]

Clang! Clang!

A swipe from both claws severed the very resilient vines.

"The range of the vines must be limited; in such situations, it should continue to create more distance."

"Then use your long-range techniques, Long Long."

Long Ren murmured from afar.

His words weren't intended to instruct the Half-dragon, and at this distance and with lowered voice, it clearly couldn't be heard.

However, a little kangaroo nearby was displeased.

Suddenly, Long Ren saw a carrot being shoved to his nose.

[Eat!]

Pupu: Don't talk, eat!

The little kangaroo was assertive.

"Alright, alright, I'll eat. I'll eat."

Seeing the killing intent in its eyes, Long Ren had no doubt he might get headbutted again.

So he quickly took the crystal-like carrot and took a bite; it tasted quite good, actually.

[Long Long!]

Luckily, at this time, the Half-dragon's performance was very satisfying.

It took the action Long Ren was hoping for.

Quickly retreating back repeatedly, creating a greater distance.

The vine hands' range is indeed limited; if extended too far, they'll lose support and droop to the ground.

So at this distance, it considers itself safe.

[Dragon...]

At this moment, it crossed its hands on its forehead, emitting a low growl from its throat, as if gathering energy.

[Grass?!]

[Eat eat eat eat clack clack clack clack...]

The Grassman noticed the hostility, also put its hands together at its waist.

[Long Honghong!]

Once the energy build-up was complete, the Half-dragon swung both hands forward!

Slash x slash!

Two claw-mark energy blades from the left and right hand, in a cross, rapidly charged towards the Grassman.

[Whoa whoa whoa!]

The Grassman was not one to concede, pushing its grass hands forward.

Pop~

A massive and roundish blue firebird flew out.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly clumsy blue firebird; its speed was definitely on par with the opposing energy blades.

Boom!

The two attacks collided explosively midway between them.

"It actually has such strong long-range tactics?!"

The explosion's air pressure blew through Long Ren's hair wildly.

And he found that the force's strength even made him feel slightly unsteady!

Wait, something seems off!

Looking down, he noticed that the big-headed little kangaroo was already being lifted by the wind.

But because it was holding onto his clothing, it hadn't been blown away.

[True Dragon!]

The explosion quickly dissipated, and the Half-dragon gave a thumbs-up to the Grassman in admiration.

[True Grass!]

The Grassman also formed a finger, gesturing back at the Half-dragon.

In that moment, both sides seemed to regard each other as worthy opponents, sharing mutual respect.

This was inevitable, as within their respective circles of same-level Summoner subordinates, they virtually had no opponents left.

[Long Long Long!]

Half-dragon: Grass brother, don't think it's over!

[Grass Grass!]

Grassman: Mind your words, call me big bro!

[Long Honghong!]

Half-dragon raised its hand and launched an uncharged cross energy blade.

[Eat clack clack!]

The Grassman countered with a ball-hugging vacuum twist.

Bam!

The collision explosion erupted once more.

[Long Honghong!]

[Eat clack clack!]

[Long Honghong!]

[Eat clack clack!]

[Long Honghong Hong!]

[Eat clack clack clack!]

While admiring each other, they seemed at odds.
