Chapter 143: Your Turn
Chapter 143: Your Turn
Li Wu's luck finally took a turn for the better.
After facing five consecutive seed teams, the sixth team they encountered was a minor character team.
Team ZeroThirtyEight had only one Elite-level Summon Beast, and the remaining two were Common-level, almost reaching the Elite level.
Naturally, this team was no match for Li Wu's group.
However, it was precisely because this team had no hope of reaching the top eight that they weren't fixated on the competition points. Instead, they aimed to give their best performance in every match.
In the provincial tournament, as long as they didn't make it to the top eight, the remaining rankings didn't matter much. On the contrary, teams with outstanding performances during the matches were more likely to be remembered.
Team ZeroThirtyEight was the only team Li Wu had encountered so far that they played from start to finish, completing all three rounds.
After discovering the benefits of advertising, Li Wu decided to let Mini Skeleton handle the entire match against Team ZeroThirtyEight.
Three battles, three victories. After the win, Li Wu couldn't help but play the victory music for the little guy.
The music filled the air, bringing joy to Mini Skeleton, Li Wu, and even Zhang Wentao.
However, the referee wasn't too pleased with this.
The spectators, on the other hand, were left with mixed feelings.
The High School League had seen its fair share of oddities, but this was the first time a team used the match as an advertisement, and they didn't stop at just one.
It was like watching a drama series, with a new episode after each match.
But considering that Li Wu's main profession was a Breeder, the referees and spectators could understand his actions.
Breeders were known for their eccentricities, so this behavior wasn't entirely unexpected!
After defeating Team ZeroThirtyEight, Li Wu, as usual, approached his opponents.
He shook hands with the captain, leaving the captain of the defeated minor character team, who had been thoroughly dominated by Li Wu, feeling honored.
"Your team's performance was impressive. I'd like to discuss some aspects of Summon Beast cultivation and training from the perspective of a Breeder."
With this opening line, Li Wu engaged in a conversation with Team ZeroThirtyEight.
An hour later, as Li Wu bid farewell, the team members looked at him with utmost respect, as if he were a revered teacher.
They felt fortunate, even in defeat, to have received guidance from Li Wu.
Although they had lost the match, they gained valuable insights, especially regarding the two Common-level Summon Beasts. They now had a clear path to promote them.
Li Wu, on his part, had also benefited significantly from the encounter.
Team ZeroThirtyEight provided him with valuable information and insights, even though they couldn't share the detailed training and cultivation plans for their Summon Beasts. Every clue and piece of information was useful to Li Wu, and he even obtained an idea for skill optimization.
This experience only strengthened Li Wu's resolve to seek out more opportunities to gather information after each match.
Zhang Wentao, watching the live stream, was deeply touched by Li Wu's actions.
He wondered why Li Wu would approach his opponents after the match. In his view, Li Wu was using Summon Beast cultivation as an excuse to build relationships, and upon further reflection, he realized that Li Wu was likely doing this to foster connections for Jiangnan University's recruitment efforts.
Upon discovering Li Wu's intentions, Zhang Wentao felt that the rewards he had given might be insufficient and considered providing additional incentives.
Fortunately, someone nearby stopped him, preventing Li Wu from receiving another message.
...
After his meeting with Team ZeroThirtyEight, Li Wu's matches for the day came to a close.
As soon as the competition ended, Li Wu rushed home, eager to check his earnings from the match and to work on the research for Mini Skeleton's companion phone. Another reason for his haste was that during his conversation with Team 007's Su Lan, Li Wu noticed a significant increase in his spiritual power.
Initially, he thought it was due to Mini Skeleton's evolution, but upon turning to look, he saw Mini Skeleton curiously stroking the dog and pecking at the bird, showing no signs of evolution.
However, Mini Skeleton's interaction with the animals seemed to have influenced its mindset, as it exhibited a subtle interest in the idea of fighting Li Wu.
This terrified Li Wu, who immediately ended his conversation with Team 007 and hurried away with Mini Skeleton, fearing that his little skeleton might be influenced by Su Lan's bird and start attacking him.
Upon returning, Li Wu spent a good half-hour educating Mini Skeleton, emphasizing the importance of following his leadership and avoiding negative influences.
He made it clear that his team must uphold his core values without compromise.
The Unruly Skeleton Gets the Boot!
After a series of cajoling and deception, Li Wu called Zhao Kai Ming to consult about his spiritual power enhancement.
Zhao Kai Ming was caught off guard by the sudden inquiry and agreed to meet Li Wu at his place after his match.
It's quite something that Li Wu could still chat for an hour after his match with Team 038, all while his body hadn't fully recovered.
Soon after Li Wu returned home, Zhao Kai Ming arrived.
Zhao Kai Ming began by examining Li Wu's physical condition.
After some joint tinkering, Zhao Kai Ming studied Li Wu's face, his expression growing complex, and concluded, "You've got one?"
"Got one?" Li Wu was perplexed. "Male or female? How many months?"
"No, no, no! What do I have?" Li Wu protested.
Zhao Kai Ming narrowed his eyes, "You've formed a second contract, in other words, you have a second Summon Beast?"
In a 6-9-1-9-1-0-1 version!
"How is that possible?" Li Wu exclaimed.
Li Wu felt Zhao Kai Ming was making things up, "I'd know if I had another contract, I definitely don't! I've never actively contracted a Summon Beast, and even if I didn't take the initiative, could the Summon Beast come to me on its own?"
Zhao Kai Ming glanced at Li Wu.
It's impossible for anyone else.
But for you, it's hard to say.
Zhao Kai Ming knew Li Wu's background, so it wasn't out of the question that someone had secretly given him a Summon Beast.
"But the situation seems to be just as I said. You indeed have an additional contract in your consciousness, and from the traces of the second contract, it seems you formed this contract within the last few days.
It can't be more than ten days! Additionally, the Summon Beast you contracted seems to be growing rapidly; it's already at the Elite level in such a short time.
However, the power of this contract is somewhat weak, indicating that the Summon Beast is not by your side."
As a high-ranking member of the Fucheng Breeder Professional Center, Unbroken
Zhao Kai Ming, being a top figure at the Fucheng Vocational Center, had his ways. With just a quick examination, he had already deciphered Li Wu's situation.
After understanding the circumstances, Zhao Kai Ming was confident about Li Wu's condition.
It was undoubtedly the work of that person, secretly granting Li Wu a Summon Beast. As for why the Summon Beast wasn't with Li Wu, that was obvious!
It was all part of that person's grand plan!
Could Li Wu have misplaced the Summon Beast? That was impossible! Li Wu seemed quite sharp, and even if he had, it wouldn't be his fault. He was clearly unaware of the entire situation!
But would that person make such a foolish mistake? Zhao Kai Ming didn't think so!
Zhao Kai Ming remained calm about Li Wu's situation, but Li Wu was not.
"So, I really have an additional Summon Beast? But I don't remember when or where I got it. What does it look like? Where is it now? Should I go and find it?" Li Wu asked anxiously.
Zhao Kai Ming reassured him, "Don't worry too much about this. Having an extra contract isn't a bad thing for you. With your current spiritual power, you're almost capable of contracting a third Summon Beast. Even if this additional contract backfires, you can handle it.
So, just relax and enjoy the unexpected spiritual boost. As for finding the Summon Beast, there's no need. It will come to you on its own. Who knows, it might suddenly appear before you and introduce itself as your little darling!"
"Is that how it works?" Li Wu still felt the situation was a bit hard to believe.
Meanwhile, in the waters near Quancheng, a large group of Summon Beasts gathered.
This diverse crowd included fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, and even snakes, each unique in its own way. If there was one thing they had in common, it was their aquatic nature and their devotion to a small goldfish leading them.
Several dozen Summon Beasts followed the goldfish, and despite their varied appearances, they exuded a united front. When the goldfish signaled for them to engage, the sight of them charging forward was quite impressive.
This ragtag group, led by the small goldfish, continued to grow stronger as they advanced...
