My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 174 - 172 Gale Wolf

Ring 1.

When the battle ended,

the cheering from the audience followed closely after Lin Jianying and the goblin embraced each other.

"042 is awesome!" "Lin Jianying is awesome!" "Goblin is awesome!"

All the praises that were given to 003 in the morning were now completely transferred to 042.

Some even insisted fervently online,

that they had known all along that the goblin would definitely make a splash today.

For this claim, they even provided additional explanation, listing reasons one through four, making a convincing argument.

Of course, if he could have deleted his previous posts bashing Lin Jianying before making this announcement, that would have been even more persuasive.

But that was not the point.

Lu Wu and his teammates were not focused on the audience’s opinions.

They were all paying attention to the changes in the goblin.

Although Lu Wu had noticed early on that the goblin’s mood was affected by Lin Jianying after receiving 9 shots, which altered the state of the entire Summoned Beast, showing signs of evolving again,

he didn’t know that the goblin would evolve into this form, nor did he understand how it had evolved, so at this moment, he was very curious about the goblin.

He really wanted to figure out how this goblin had evolved.

This was a professional curiosity of a Cultivation Master.

The Summoned Beasts of the 042 team were also quite curious about the goblin’s evolution.

Little Skeleton, copying others, joined Lu Wu in poking and prodding the goblin with its bony hands.

The little goldfish poked its head out of Lu Wu’s clothes to take a look, and lost interest at once upon realizing it couldn’t be taken in as a little brother.

The most outrageous one was Tuantuan, who nuzzled its nose all over the goblin and even sneakily licked it, seemingly wanting to taste if the greatly transformed goblin was delicious.

Then it spat out violently, as if it had licked excrement.

This commotion annoyed the goblin.

It felt that it was no longer its former self; the goblin now felt strong and no longer needed to be touched randomly by others.

So it felt it might be able to resist, but just as it pushed Lu Wu’s hand away, Lin Jianying slapped it, and the little guy promptly behaved again.

Its state once again turned to numbness.

Touch it, touch it all you want, it was used to being touched anyway, the goblin was already not clean.

In the end, it was team 002 who came to the little guy’s rescue.

"042’s, how much longer are you going to fiddle with it over there? Are you still competing or what?"

The ashen-faced Fang Bai, with a single sentence, reminded Lu Wu of what his main purpose was for today.

At the same time, the second Summoned Beast from team 002 also entered the arena.

The second Summoned Beast of 002 was a wolf.

…

Name: Gale Wolf (evolved once)

Power: 3 stars (Elite)

Attribute: Wind

Quality: Black Iron

State: Cruel (Master says, try to seriously injure that goblin as much as possible)

Weakness: Grass

Basic Skills: Wind Blade (Master) Bite (Master) Dodge (Master)

Advanced Skills: Gale Wolf (Master) (Upon activation, speed boost is doubled.)

Talent: Speed Enhancement (Basic)

Agility Enhancement (Basic)

Description: An evolution form of the Jungle Wolf, although all its attributes are relatively average, its terrifying speed still endows it with formidable power.

…

Looking at the wolf’s attributes, Lu Wu raised an eyebrow.

Not surprised by the wolf’s attributes, after all, he had seen them before, but he was observing the wolf’s state.

This reminded him of the Hengheng Monster’s battle yesterday when the cat almost had its throat slit.

His gaze became a few degrees colder.

"Goblin, come down, Tuantuan, you’re up!"

Having figured out the opponent’s intent, Lu Wu naturally wouldn’t let the goblin stay and be beaten.

The goblin had already had its outbreak and was now in a weakened state; keeping it there would only mean taking hits, and the goblin’s skin was definitely not as tough as Tuantuan’s.

Fang Bai, seeing that Lu Wu had switched out the goblin, was very disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on Tuantuan.

"This round should be a secure win; the Gale Wolf fighting this pig is easy since their speed isn’t even in the same league!"

In the world of martial arts, speed is unmatched.

This principle applies to Summoned Beasts as well.

At least, having faster speed ensures that the opponent can’t touch you, which allows you to firmly take the initiative.

"You know what to do, right?"

"I know, the teasing pig tactic!"

Fang Bai and his unnamed teammate exchanged confident glances.

Then, at the referee’s command,

the second battle between 002 and 042 officially began.

As the competition commenced, both Summoned Beasts sprang into action simultaneously.

The Gale Wolf burst forth in an instant, sending multiple Wind Blades shooting towards Tuantuan, while it charged forward at the same time.

This tactic, identical to that of the Little Demon from before, was worthy of a Summoned Beast from the same team.

However, the difference was that the Little Demon’s Energy Ball arrived first, while the Gale Wolf had released its Wind Blade first, but its own speed was even faster than the Wind Blade.

By the time the Wind Blade had covered two-thirds of the distance, the Gale Wolf had already reached Tuantuan, its gaping maw aiming for Tuantuan’s head.

On Tuantuan’s side,

Although it was on the same team as the goblin, its approach to defense was entirely different.

Um, this pig had no strategy whatsoever.

It simply grew giant, and then it stood still, letting the wolf bite at it and the Wind Blade strike it without flinching.

As a result, when the Gale Wolf bit down, the pig’s head was fine, not even the skin was broken.

What about those two Wind Blades? They shattered upon hitting Tuantuan, not even a single hair on it was harmed.

This defensive power made Team 002 grit their teeth in frustration.

However, they obviously came prepared as the second command came swiftly.

"Attack its vulnerable spots, eyes, nose, Juhua!"

The Gale Wolf’s claws reached out, aiming for Tuantuan’s eyes, only to find the pig had closed them.

Not only did it close its eyes, but it also hid its nose underneath its hooves.

After all, it wasn’t deaf. Whatever the Gale Wolf could hear, it could too, knowing exactly where the bad guy wanted to attack.

The clever pig knew what to do.

The only thing it couldn’t fathom was, what in the world was ’Juhua’?

And the Gale Wolf quickly provided the answer.

This thing was incredibly fast, realizing there was no opportunity at the eyes or nose, it circled to Tuantuan’s rear immediately and grabbed for Tuantuan’s butt.

Luckily, Tuantuan’s encircling tail protected its vital parts, otherwise, it would’ve been, well, hit there.

Now, Tuantuan finally understood what ’Juhua’ was, and the previously lazy creature was thoroughly enraged, instantly activating Gravity, pressing down with tenfold gravity.

Yet, although the wolf’s attack wasn’t amazing, its speed was genuinely fast.

The moment Tuantuan unleashed its gravity, the wolf was already out of the range of gravity.

Thus, after a round of engagement, neither side could get the better of the other.

However, Team 002 wasn’t too disappointed about this.

Everything was within their expectations, and the real focus was coming up next.

The ’Tease the Pig’ tactic officially began!

The so-called ’Tease the Pig’ tactic was essentially a harassment strategy.

Lu Wu knew Team 002 inside out, and Team 002 also thoroughly understood the status of Lu Wu’s Summoned Beasts, knowing exactly how to deal with them.

Although the pig’s defense was terrifying, its speed was clumsy. As long as the Gale Wolf kept taunting it, it could exhaust the pig’s strength, preventing it from maintaining its giant form.

Once the pig couldn’t maintain its giant form, the battle was essentially over.

That was the basic idea behind the ’Tease the Pig’ tactic.

But as soon as they started executing it, they immediately realized there was a problem.

The pig simply walked to one corner at the edge of the arena and lay down with its butt facing out, covering its nose with its hooves, its eyes squinted to a slit, and just lay there motionless.

With this posture in place, Team 002 realized they had no way to deal with the pig.

The only part they could attack, its butt, was outside the arena; could they actually charge out of the arena to attack it?

If they really did that, with one gravity from the pig, the Gale Wolf, no matter how fast, wouldn’t be able to escape.

And attacking from the front, with the Gale Wolf’s speed, although fast, its attack power was pretty mediocre and couldn’t penetrate the pig’s defense.

Team 002 tried a few times, gained no achievements, and the Gale Wolf was nearly bitten by the pig.

At that point, Team 002 remembered that Team 042’s captain was a Cultivation Master.

Playing tactics with them?

They play dirtier than you, okay?

Team 002 was completely stumped.

"What do we do now? Just stand still and wait for its strength to run out?"

"No, if both sides go over five minutes without engaging, it’ll be treated as a draw."

"How about we attack every four minutes?"

"Do you understand what ’cumulative’ means?"

In the end, after much thought and several probes, Team 002 had no choice but to let the Gale Wolf run to the other side and squat down.

The standoff between this pig and the wolf could only end in a draw.

This was part of Lu Wuyi’s calculated plan from the beginning.

If possible, he certainly hoped to take down this wolf, but there was no way, the opponent was too fast, the pig moved too slowly, and the gravity coverage was too small.

In the end, he could only choose this tactic.

This approach, although a bit rogue, was indeed the best outcome.

If they didn’t swap out this wolf and let it face Little Skeleton, even if its speed went all out, it would give Little Skeleton a hard time, and Little Skeleton probably wouldn’t be able to attack it.

The saying ’nothing can withstand a fast speed’ isn’t just a casual comment.

And with the battle between the pig and the wolf finished, the final match between Teams 002 and 042 officially began.

The audience held their breath in anticipation.

Fang Bai’s heart also tightened up a bit.

He was now a little nervous, worried that Lu Wu would switch to the little goldfish as their third Summoned Beast.

Although they believed they had seen through the true and false sides of the little goldfish, he had seen with his own eyes how the little goldfish defeated their three foreign teams’ Summoned Beasts with a 1 against 9, and he wasn’t very confident facing it directly.

Thankfully, Lu Wu’s Summoned Beast soon took the stage.

Um, it wasn’t the little goldfish he was worried about, but Lu Wu’s Little Skeleton.

Seeing that it was Little Skeleton, Fang Bai immediately relaxed.

Little Skeleton was no issue, he was confident in defeating Little Skeleton!

Then, he saw Little Skeleton pull out a large cell phone and summon three Elite 2 Star Iron Bone Wild Boars!
