Bang!

No need to struggle, the sturdy vines underfoot were snapped by the penguin itself.

The entire penguin shot out like a cannonball, crashing through several large pillars, and slammed into the wall of the grand hall.

Huge cracks burst out across the wall.

Then...

Rumble!

The entire ice sculpture grand hall collapsed with a roar!

[Protect the master!]

Angel looked at the collapsing ceiling and hurriedly raised its shield.

Buzz!

A pure white protective shield enveloped its surroundings.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Heavy and sharp-edged ice blocks fell down, even causing cracks in the shield.

Fortunately, the collapse was only one wave.

When Angel removed the shield, the sky was already visible.

"What's going on here..."

Tong Qinxin couldn't believe her eyes.

Was she being told that the scarecrow defeated this ice sculpture grand hall?!

"You're really unreliable as a summoner..."

Chang Shoushang clutched his head, blue light and blood oozing out.

Why was it that only his corner of the protective shield collapsed?

Those ice blocks were so hard—if his skull weren't just as hard, he might have been a goner.

"Where's junior? Is he alright?"

Tong Qinxin anxiously began searching.

"Shouldn't you be worried about me first?"

"I'm bleeding here, where's your compassion gone?"

Chang Shoushang felt a bit wronged.

"It's just a minor injury, it's not life-threatening, you'll be fine."

Tong Qinxin just glanced before shifting her gaze and continued searching.

Not just her, the entire second-year medical program was used to it.

As long as Chang Shoushang's injury wasn't fatal, it wasn't considered an injury.

[Roar Bobo!]

Just then, the little wolf clawed at the broken ice and found Li Pu's location.

Swish...

No assistance needed, Li Pu stood up by himself.

[Eat, eat, eat!]

Bobo found the scarecrow's location.

[Grass!]

The scarecrow simultaneously raised both hands and sprang out from the pile of ice.

"Where's that penguin?"

Li Pu rubbed his head; besides a slight ache, he was fine.

"That's too much—three against one!"

"You owe me a palace!"

A black-and-white figure scuttled out from beneath the ice pile; it could talk and was indeed the owner of the voice just heard in the grand hall.

Round Penguin stood puffed with anger on the ice heap, looking surprisingly adorable.

"Not fighting anymore?"

Li Pu pushed aside the ice blocks beside him, already forgetting they just wanted to gather information.

"No more fighting, no more fighting!"

"The kung fu tournament is coming up, I need to conserve energy!"

Round Penguin flapped its wings, evidently unwilling to admit it couldn't win.

But honestly, if it were a real one-on-one, Li Pu believed he couldn't beat the opponent.

In his view, this kung fu chubby penguin was genuinely strong.

"Senior, we really just wanted to learn about the situation here."

In the end, Tong Qinxin remembered their purpose.

This powerful alien even seemed older, calling it "senior" wasn't inappropriate.

"Lost travelers, huh?"

Round Penguin stroked its chin, appraising the trio and their summoned beasts.

"You kid, stop the bleeding first."

It tossed over a bottle of ointment.

Seemingly showing no ill intent.

"Grum grum grum grum~"

Then, it raised its head and made a series of peculiar sounds.

Confused, everyone looked around as a white-headed leaf monkey appeared in their sight.

From the neck down, it had black fur, sporting a white head shaped like upward-facing leaves.

Of course, this was not an ordinary wild animal.

Aside from being larger than a regular human, it had a pair of horns extending from the sides of its head.

"Magical beast."

Different auras made everyone furrow their brows.

But soon, various black-and-white magical beasts appeared.

A massive group, at least nearly a hundred.

"There were so many magical beasts around here..."

Chang Shoushang was a bit stunned.

Li Pu scanned back and forth, spotting several species he hadn't collected yet; he planned to seize the opportunity to pluck some fur later. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Because these creatures' materials were either fur or scales.

Strangely, these magical beasts showed no aggression.

Instead, they lined up neatly in front of Round Penguin.

[Grass!]

This sight made the scarecrow's eyes shine—it also wanted a group of obedient minions.

"Grum grum grum grum~"

Round Penguin made another strange call, and then these magical beasts started sorting out the ice palace ruins.

A small portion quickly used those ice bricks to construct a semi-open hut.

"You folks, come over here."

Round Penguin walked into the hut, beckoning everyone.

Turns out it was quite generous. After understanding the situation, it began introducing this dungeon.

Little Kung Fu World, a fragmented piece from the World of Kung Fu.

Though none of them had heard of this name from another world.

Both magical beasts and aliens highly revered one thing—that was kung fu.

"Walking from the bamboo forest to me is roughly one-ninth of Little Kung Fu World."

Through its words, everyone got an idea of Little Kung Fu World's approximate size.

Indeed very large, as it took them considerable time to walk here from the bamboo forest.

"Currently, Little Kung Fu World is divided into nine regions, each governed by a Kung Fu King."

"Where you are now, the Kung Fu King is naturally me."
