Chapter 296: 293 orchid mantis

The second round of the competition took place the following day.

Jiangnan University’s first contestant, still Ye Ruhuo, the Hengheng Monster.

Her opponent was from Jiangning University.

At first, when the opponent found out they were facing someone from Jiangnan University, they were quite aggravated.

After all, they felt pressured by Jiangnan University’s reputation.

Now, every contestant wanted to beat the crap out of Jiangnan University.

He had already decided to seriously crush his opponent.

However, as soon as they entered the field, the opponent’s attitude did a complete 180 upon seeing the Hengheng Monster.

“Hey, pretty lady!

You’re really beautiful, wanna add me as a friend?”

“Nope!”

“Are you sure you don’t want to add me? If you don’t, I’ll have to go hard on you!”

The moment the opponent opened their mouth, what a sleazebag.

Hengheng Monster didn’t want to deal with him.

The opponent didn’t seem to mind, figuring girls needed to be flirted out of their shell.

If she wasn’t talking, just tease her into talking.

“How about this, pretty lady, let me add you as a friend, and during the match, I’ll let you attack first for five rounds, how about that?”

Hengheng Monster was naturally quick-tempered.

Upon hearing this, her face immediately darkened, and her eyes, round and fierce, glared at the guy across from her.

“Don’t look at me like that, you’ll make me think you’ve fallen for me. How about 10 rounds for a friend request?”

The spectators in the stands were watching this guy trying to flirt with disgust, each one wishing they could replace him.

After all, although Hengheng Monster was notoriously hot-tempered and had quite the attitude, she was undeniably attractive.

Her long legs and youthful appearance, along with her usually cold expression, stirred many a scoundrel’s desire to flirt with her.

Facing such a girl, the Jiangning contestant became more and more enthusiastic, nearly aggravating Hengheng Monster to death before the match even started.

“Referee! Can we start now?”

Finally, Hengheng Monster could only appeal to the referee.

The referee checked both sides and asked the Jiangning contestant if they were ready.

“I’m all set here, pretty lady. I’m ready to fight whenever you are!”

“Then let’s start!”

With the sound of a whistle, the match officially began!

Hengheng Monster, who had been seething, launched the first attack.

It had been over half a year, and compared to her summoned beast in the high school league, its attributes had changed significantly.

…

Name: Three-tailed Spirit Cat (Second Evolution)

Power: 2 stars (Boss)

Quality: Gold (upgraded)

Attribute: Fire

State: Angry (Mimi wants to defeat this annoying human)

Weakness: Water (normal) Wind (slight)

Basic Skills: Bite (Master) Cat Step (Master) Cat Claw (Master)…

Advanced Skill: Fire Cat State (Master)

Talent: Fire Cat Body (passive) Enhances fire attribute attacks and resistance.

When activated along with [Fire Cat State], it significantly boosts power for a short period.

Description: Well, Mimi is still young, it will grow bigger.

…

The incredibly agile cat, now far stronger, raced towards the opponent’s summoned beast as soon as the match started.

Facing the charging Three-tailed Spirit Cat, the opponent’s beast didn’t flinch, or rather, there was absolutely no reason to flinch.

He charged directly forward, his hand shaped like a scythe slicing toward the Three-tailed Spirit Cat.

As the opponent’s Summoned Beast attacked, Lu Wu’s eyes also caught its attribute.

…

Name: Orchid Mantis (Second Evolution)

Power: 1 Star (leader)

Quality: Silver (Promoted)

Attribute: Grass

State: Bored (weak opponents hardly pique its interest)

Weakness: Fire (Moderate)

Skill Talents: Basic

Description: This is a somewhat capable Summoned Beast.

Although its attribute is countered by the cat, the huge disparity in power between the two means this counter gives Mimi no advantage.

…

The description of the Orchid Mantis was entirely accurate.

While Lu Wu was checking its attribute, the fight between the Orchid Mantis and the Three-tailed Spirit Cat had already begun.

In terms of speed and agility, the mantis far surpassed the cat.

The cat had just approached with a Cat Step, only to be blocked by the mantis.

The Orchid Mantis executed an Orchid Slash, its hand-scythe tracing a beautiful curve, forcing the Three-tailed Spirit Cat to halt its attack stride and dodge.

The Orchid Mantis relentlessly pressed on, chasing forward with its dual scythe-like arms refining and chopping, forcing the Three-tailed Spirit Cat to continually retreat.

From the onset of the battle, the Three-tailed Spirit Cat was put on the defensive.

Anyone could see the Hengheng Monster’s defeat was imminent.

Her opponent teased with a smirk, “Miss, there’s still time to add me as a friend… oh, grass! What a fierce girl!”

Before he could finish speaking, the battle took a turn.

Atop the arena, the Hengheng Monster lunged forward with a Cat Step, lifting its leg and kicking towards the Orchid Mantis.

This move from the Hengheng Monster was utterly unexpected.

Even though Summoners also had to go on stage in college league matches,

Summoners on stage typically held defensive positions, and doing well simply by protecting themselves was already an achievement—they rarely joined the battle.

It wasn’t a wise choice.

There was still a gap between the power of a Summoner and their Summoned Beast.

Rashly joining in was merely courting misery.

Now, as the Hengheng Monster approached the Orchid Mantis, not having even attacked yet, it was met with a scythe strike, even though the Three-tailed Spirit Cat intervened immediately.

Nevertheless, the Hengheng Monster was heavily struck by the mantis’s scythe.

With a “chuck” sound, the scythe plunged into the Hengheng Monster’s shoulder, blood instantly spurting out.

Clearly, the Hengheng Monster paid the price for her recklessness.

However, just when everyone thought the Hengheng Monster had doomed herself, she grabbed the mantis’s scythe with both hands.

“Now! Mimi!”

As the Hengheng Monster cried out in pain,

The Three-tailed Spirit Cat instantly activated “Fire Cat Form,” transforming into a blaze of flames, and in the same moment, the “Flame Body” Talent was triggered.

The combat power of the Three-tailed Spirit Cat soared in that instant.

It then clawed at the Orchid Mantis.

The Orchid Mantis, feeling the crisis, instinctively tried to dodge.

Under normal circumstances, the Orchid Mantis would have been able to evade, but now one of its scythes was stuck by the Hengheng Monster, the added weight of around 180 pounds plus the Hengheng Monster pulling on it, dragged the Orchid Mantis into a halt.

Though this caused the Hengheng Monster’s wound to widen, it successfully held the Orchid Mantis in place.

The Three-tailed Spirit Cat seized the opportunity to unleash a barrage of attacks.

A burst of fury, and it completely incapacitated the Orchid Mantis.

After the tough challenge of taking down the Orchid Mantis, the Hengheng Monster, her shoulder still bleeding heavily, walked toward her opponent with the flames on her slowly extinguishing.

Looking at the previously adorable Miss in front of him, the guy who just wanted to be friends panicked utterly.

“Don’t come any closer!!”
