Chapter 298: 295 Skyward Stick

Su Lan’s opponent was beginning to doubt life itself.

He didn’t quite understand.

Why, despite his own victory, were others’ names echoing through the arena?

He felt as though he couldn’t keep pace with the times anymore.

On Lu Wu’s side, he expressed a profound admiration for Su Lan’s ability to show off.

Admitting defeat while still appearing so skillful was something he could hardly believe.

Compared with this guy, Lu Wu’s concessions during his high school league competitions seemed technically naive.

Lu Wu pondered whether he should learn a move or two from this technique that allowed such a stylish capitulation.

Even though he probably wouldn’t need such skills in the future, there were still some valuable techniques worth contemplating.

However, when Lu Wu saw Su Lan returning to the resting room after stepping down—getting pecked by his own bird, bitten on the butt by his own Gouzi—Lu Wu closed the door silently, to prevent Little Skeleton and others behind him from seeing things they shouldn’t and picking up all sorts of bad habits.

Not long after Su Lan’s match,

The last battle of the second round for Jiangnan also commenced.

Wu Wei was up against a player from a not-so-famous university.

Although the player’s university was obscure, his strength was exceptional, reaching the level of a senior professional Summoner.

Lu Wu had a lasting impression of this player, mainly because of his Summoned Beast.

…

Name: Green Water Turtle (Second Evolution)

Power: 1 star (Leader)

Quality: Ordinary (Bronze) Upgraded

Attribute: Water

State: Stable (My master says to stay steady and secure the victory)

Weakness: Grass

Skill Talents: Vague

…

The opponent’s Summoned Beast was a rare turtle, and both in terms of attributes and tactics, it posed a considerable restraint against Wu Wei’s monkey.

…

Name: Fiery Flame Monkey (Second Evolution)

Power: 3 stars (Boss Level)

Quality: Ordinary (Silver) (Upgraded)

Attribute: Fire

State: Annoyed (I hate the guy in front of me)

Weakness: Water (Moderate)

Inheritance Skill: Skyward Stick (Master)

…

On one side was a nearly two-meter-tall green turtle.

On the other, a one-point-eight-meter-tall monkey, fiery red fur all over, wielding a stick.

As the two Summoned Beasts took their places on the stage, the audience started voicing their thoughts.

They felt Wu Wei was rather unlucky to encounter a counter to his beast.

However, having witnessed the battles with Hengheng Monster and the formidable Su Lan, a significant portion of the audience had considerable faith in Wu Wei, believing he should be able to secure the victory.

What the audience thought, Wu Wei didn’t know.

His opponent couldn’t care less either.

From the moment they stepped on stage, their gazes locked onto each other.

Both men, not the talkative type, introduced themselves briefly and then signaled to the judge that they were ready to fight.

“The battle begins!”

At the judge’s signal, Wu Wei was the first to launch an attack.

“Monkey, attack!”

With these four words, the Fiery Flame Monkey erupted with flames, darting toward the opponent’s Summoner like an arrow.

The opposing Summoner was not surprised in the least; without saying a word, he stepped forward, and a blue water screen shielded him and the Green Water Turtle.

The Fiery Flame Monkey arrived in an instant, a stick surrounded by light striking down with terrifying power, causing the water screen to tremble.

The trembling water screen suddenly surged with waves; an invisible force emerged, causing the Fiery Flame Monkey to shudder backward.

Yet, it didn’t push Monkey back. Instead, it only served to ignite Monkey’s ferocity even more, causing the flames on his body to burst forth.

At the same time, however, the mouth of the Green Water Turtle was cleared of the water screen, and a horrifying Water Cannon blasted out, aiming directly at Wu Wei—it was a swift transition from defense to offense.

Monkey could only turn around, smashing down with a powerful strike and easily shattering the Water Cannon.

But as Monkey destroyed the Water Cannon, another more fierce Water Cannon blasted through.

It turned out that the first Water Cannon was not launched by the Green Water Turtle but by the opposing Summoner.

The first Water Cannon distracted Monkey. Taking advantage of the moment, between Monkey’s spent old strength and not yet gathered new power, the Green Water Turtle struck directly.

Monkey had no chance to react and was blasted away by a surge of the Water Cannon.

This delighted the opposing Summoner. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

However, the smile on his face didn’t last long before it froze.

Because a monkey had appeared beside them at some point, the stick in its hand swung violently and smashed onto the water screen with unprecedented force. This strike shattered the water screen in one hit, and the opponent’s Summoner was directly exposed.

Monkey took the opportunity and swung the stick toward the opponent’s Summoner.

At the critical moment, the Green Water Turtle slapped its two front limbs on the ground, and a ring of water surged out, directly hitting Monkey and sending it flying.

Seizing the chance, the opponent sent out two water columns, one after another, one blasting toward Wu Wei, the other toward Monkey.

Near Monkey, the stick in its hand blazed with flames, smashing down and shattering the Water Cannon, while on Wu Wei’s side, an avatar of the monkey appeared out of thin air to block the Water Cannon.

With this, the first round of the exchange between the two sides finally came to an end.

Wu Wei’s skill was revealed, he had obtained the “Fire Monkey Avatar” skill, which could summon an avatar of Monkey.

The opponent, too, revealed a “Water Cannon” skill, but as a seasoned Professional Summoner, he surely still had another skill up his sleeve despite having only one Summoned Beast.

So, although the round seemed evenly matched, Wu Wei was already at a clear disadvantage.

However, at this moment, whether it be the audience on the stands or the players below, no one had time to whine about anything.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the arena, and their breathing tensed along with the rhythm of the battle.

Undoubtedly,

this battle was by far the most tense and most spectacular fight of this university league.

The fighters, eyeing their opponents, had fiery light blazing in their eyes.

At that moment, they only had each other in sight, and there was only one thing on their minds, which was to defeat their opponent.

The second round of the battle quickly ignited.

Wu Wei, who was at a disadvantage, continued to choose aggressive attacks in this round.

He was well aware of how much he lagged behind his opponent.

The skill difference, the power difference, even his attribute was at a disadvantage.

The only thing that could be considered an advantage was Monkey’s mobility.

Therefore, he had to use this to its fullest, attack madly, or rather, feint, to keep the opponent from having the time to target him, the Summoner.

Wu Wei had tactics and strategies.

His opponent had his own methods, choosing to meet any change with unchanging response.

Both sides exchanged moves and countered, providing a feast for the audience’s eyes with over a dozen rounds.

As time passed, however, the rhythm of the battle began to swing towards the Green Water Turtle.

Seeing Monkey’s energy gradually ebb,

and realizing the match might be lost if it continued, Wu Wei had no choice but to grit his teeth and go for a last-ditch effort.

He raised his hand to summon Monkey’s avatar, and then he himself also moved, following the Monkey avatar to draw lines left and right, restraining the opponent.

Alas, Wu Wei’s avatar only had a fifth of Monkey’s combat power, and he himself barely reached Boss Level combat power.

Their two feeble attempts were quickly dealt with by two Water Cannons, one after the other, nearly flushing Wu Wei off the stage.

However, Wu Wei’s efforts were not in vain, successfully granting Monkey a chance for a “Big Move.”

Almost the same moment Wu Wei was hit, Monkey’s true form leaped high, the stick in its hand lifted above its head, an incredible power gathering upon it.

The opponent’s face changed.

He quickly went on full defense, and in an instant, two layers of water screens and a tortoise shell phantom appeared out of nowhere, pushing the Defense Value to its maximum.

And, as the Defense Value reached its peak, Monkey’s “Skyward Stick” smashed down with violent force!

Monkey, with only Boss 3 Star power, conjured a strike with the impact of a Leader 3 Star’s limit.

Instantly breaking the dual layers of water screens, even the final tortoise shell phantom only managed to hold out for three seconds before collapsing.

Monkey’s final blow came crashing down.

The victor’s power burst forth, directly sending the Green Water Turtle and the opponent’s Summoner out of the ring.

And Monkey too collapsed thunderously after that single hit.

At that moment, the spectator stands fell eerily silent.

Nobody had recovered from the intense battle until the referee announced, “The match is over, the winner is Jiangnan Wu Wei!”

Deafening applause then erupted throughout the Phoenix Nest Training Ground.

Different from before, this applause was not only for Wu Wei but also for his opponent.

Everyone recognized it as an exceptionally thrilling fight.

With that, the second round of matches for Jiangnan University came to an end.

After the second round, all six members of Jiangnan University’s team, except for Su Lan, advanced to the top 128.

However, despite their advancement, it was evident that both Hengheng Monster and Wu Wei were at their limit.

With stronger enemies ahead, they were unlikely to continue as contenders.

Moreover, both had sustained serious injuries in today’s battle, especially Wu Wei’s Monkey, which was now exhausted, its combat power reduced to thirty percent or even less for the next few days.

Therefore, it was nearly impossible for them to advance further.

However, Lu Wu didn’t seem to care much about this, their performance had been good enough as it was.

Their achievements were sufficient for recruitment purposes, and it was now time for Lu Wu to step into the fight.

At the same time, someone else had come to a similar resolution.

“Up next, I should also get ready to make my move!”

It was time to reclaim what had been lost!
