Chapter 158: Ghost Flame Technique
Chapter 158: Ghost Flame Technique
Below Arena 001.
The little skeleton's anger was almost tangible, like flames ready to ignite.
You see, although there were already three pigs in his phone, he now had pigs, achieving the freedom of riding them, and could choose which one to ride each day!
But skeletons, like humans, always yearn for what they cannot have.
In the little skeleton's heart, the best mount was still that pig he had pinned down, refusing to grow larger no matter how he yelled.
How dare this beast hurt his pig like this! Could the little skeleton forgive it? Absolutely not!
"Go! Finish it off!"
At Li Wu's command, the furious little skeleton held a bone staff in one hand and carried his phone in the other as he stepped onto the arena.
The third and final match between Team 001 and Team 042 was about to begin.
The atmosphere in the arena instantly became tense.
Everyone watching this battle also felt the tension.
The most anxious person was not Jiang Beifeng, nor was it Li Wu, but Zhang Wentao! After all, Li Wu had promised to pay if he lost, a huge sum of 50,000 points, which he had only learned about just before the match.
His heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster, full of excitement!
Initially, Zhang Wentao thought this was a small match to give Jiangnan's future hope, Li Wu, a taste of the pressure of Jiangnan. It seemed like a straightforward matter, and Zhang Wentao was confident in his control.
But then Zhao Kaiming arrived and dropped the news of the 50,000-point wager, sending Zhang Wentao's heart plummeting into his stomach.
As the match began and the goblin was defeated in the first round, Zhang Wentao's heart sank even further.
He felt certain that he would lose those 50,000 points.
But then, when Tuan Tuan appeared, the situation took a turn.
This pig managed to pierce through two opponents.
This gave Zhang Wentao a glimmer of hope for Li Wu in this match. If this momentum continued, perhaps, just maybe, he wouldn't have to spend that 50,000 points. His little heart began to warm up and slowly rose from the depths of despair.
However, before Zhang Wentao's heart could fully recover, the Giant Rock appeared!
As the Giant Rock and Tuan Tuan collided, Zhang Wentao felt his heart shatter.
As the president of Jiangnan University and the director of the Fucheng Vocational Breeding Center, Zhang Wentao had a keen eye for talent.
Even through the screen, he could estimate the Giant Rock's strength.
This creature had undoubtedly reached the Elite 3-Star level! According to his knowledge, Li Wu's little skeleton was only at the Elite 1-Star level, although the strength of summoned beasts wasn't always indicative of their true power.
There were often cases of them defeating opponents of higher levels.
But those were usually one level higher; it was rare to see a two-level gap.
Moreover, the Giant Rock seemed to have advantages over the little skeleton in various aspects, making Zhang Wentao quite pessimistic about the little skeleton's chances.
So, after a moment of tension, Zhang Wentao averted his gaze, covering his heart. "Forget it, I won't watch. It's too much for my heart. I'll prepare myself to pay the 50,000 points."
"It's 55,000!" Zhao Kaiming corrected gently, making Zhang Wentao even more sullen.
'Are you serious?
Do you think you're funny? At a time like this, you're still haggling over 50,000 or 55,000 points. Is this amusing to you?'
Zhang Wentao couldn't help but want to go to the restroom to slap himself, reflecting on why he was so eager to test this young man.
As Zhang Wentao stood up, Zhao Kaiming exclaimed, "Little Li actually has such a trick up his sleeve!"
"What's going on? Let me see!"
Although he had decided to protect his heart by not watching, Zhang Wentao couldn't resist turning to look. As he did, he suddenly felt his back and legs relax.
Because at that moment, the little skeleton took out three bone wild boars from his phone.
As the little skeleton pulled out the three bone wild boars, everyone in and out of the arena was stunned.
What was this move?
The most bewildered was Zhuang Yan, who had just severely injured Tuan Tuan and was feeling triumphant.
After all, Tuan Tuan's injuries were severe, and it was uncertain if it could recover even in half a month, making it unlikely to participate in any battles soon.
Now, on Team 042's side, the only remaining combat-ready members were a goblin and the little skeleton.
There wasn't much to say about the goblin; its strength was known, and it could handle Team 018. As for the little skeleton...
It was a bit of a wild card.
If it went up against Team 018, it might even take down three opponents.
But that wasn't a significant concern. Since the little skeleton had come up, Zhuang Yan didn't plan to let it off easily.
Although killing summoned beasts was not allowed in the matches, the little skeleton was of the Undead type, and as long as its head remained intact, shattering its bones was permissible.
However, just as Zhuang Yan was contemplating how to smash the little skeleton's bones while leaving its head intact, the little skeleton suddenly unleashed its secret weapon, releasing the pigs from its phone.
When Zhuang Yan saw the three pigs, each slightly smaller than Tuan Tuan in its giant form, lined up before the little skeleton, he couldn't stay seated.
He wasn't worried about losing to these three pigs; Zhuang Yan was confident in the Giant Rock's strength. Even with the pigs, the little skeleton wouldn't defeat him. But if he wanted to thoroughly smash the little skeleton's bones, it would be a bit troublesome.
Chapter: The Battle Begins
As soon as the opportunity arose, Zhuang Yan immediately raised his hand.
"Referee, Team 042 is violating the rules! Please ask them to withdraw their unrelated summoned beasts!"
In his eyes, this was clearly a violation. His team had summoned one beast, while Team 042 had summoned a Little Skeleton, which then released three White Bone Wild Boars with a snap of its fingers.
This was a serious violation, wasn't it?
The Little Skeleton must recall the pigs; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to defeat it without the extra support.
However, the referee glanced at him and replied coldly, "The Little Skeleton's ability is to summon these companions. They have already registered and verified this, and they are not violating any rules. On the contrary, your summoned beast continued to attack and severely injured their opponent's summon even after Team 042 surrendered. This behavior is considered a violation."
Zhuang Yan's face fell, and he said embarrassedly, "I wasn't paying attention at that moment, and besides, the Giant Rock had already charged, so I couldn't stop it. It wasn't intentional.
In that case, I'll apologize to Team 042, and I'll pay for their medical expenses!"
Before the referee could respond, Li Wu from the other side spoke up.
"No need for that. It's just a competition, and it's normal to get a few bumps and bruises!
Right, Captain Zhuang?"
"Yes, yes! Injuries during a match are quite normal!" Zhuang Yan, unsure why Li Wu was coming to his aid, quickly took the opportunity to save face.
The referee, seeing that the involved parties were being so understanding, didn't say anything further. He turned to Zhuang Yan, "Do you have any other issues?"
"No, none at all!" At this point, what else could he possibly ask?
"Since there are no more issues, then let's begin! Both sides, get ready, the match officially starts now!"
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Zhuang Yan, who had wanted to teach the other team a lesson, found himself in an awkward position.
"Giant Rock, Rock Shot! Fire away!"
At Zhuang Yan's command, the Giant Rock on the arena immediately launched its attack.
The Giant Rock plunged its hands into the arena, ripping out a chunk of the platform and hurling it at the three White Bone Wild Boars in front of the Little Skeleton.
The Little Skeleton, with its three pigs, didn't dodge or evade. Instead, it activated its two skills, White Bone Armor and Defensive Stance, transforming the pigs into a wall that withstood the incoming attack.
Meanwhile, the Little Skeleton behind the pigs wasn't idle either. It was frantically casting spells.
However, the spells it was casting weren't Bone Fang or Bone Spear.
These physical attack spells were useless against the Giant Rock's thick armor. Instead, the Little Skeleton was using a rarely-used spell it had learned, Corrosive Hand.
This basic spell, composed of black liquid, had some effect on the Giant Rock.
As the black hands struck the Giant Rock, they seemed to melt its surface like sulfuric acid on stone, emitting puffs of white smoke and corroding its exterior.
After several attacks, although the corrosive damage wasn't high, it further diminished the already unattractive appearance of the Giant Rock.
Perhaps due to this aesthetic disadvantage, the Giant Rock's rage meter filled up instantly.
Its eyes turned red, and it activated its Giant Strength.
"Charge!"
At Zhuang Yan's brief command, the Giant Rock abandoned its long-range attack and charged straight toward the Little Skeleton.
As the Giant Rock sprinted, Zhuang Yan's smile widened.
"You thought adding three pigs would be enough to rival my Giant Rock? Dream on!
Those three pigs are at most Elite 1-Star level, nothing compared to my Giant Rock.
They're not even worth mentioning!"
Before Zhuang Yan could finish his sentence, the Giant Rock had already reached the Little Skeleton. Before the beast could even attack, it unleashed its advanced skill, Earthquake.
This skill couldn't shake the entire arena, but it could definitely cause a tremor within a five-meter radius around the Giant Rock.
The sudden skill launch lifted the three White Bone Wild Boars off the ground, and the Giant Rock seized the opportunity to ram into them. Like a bowling ball, it knocked the three pigs away.
At this sight, Zhuang Yan's laughter became uncontrollable.
The Little Skeleton's defense had been breached, and now it was its turn.
Without the protection of the pigs, this Little Skeleton was no match for the Giant Rock, even if it had some close-range combat abilities.
Regardless of whether its close-range abilities could rival those of a same-level summon, it couldn't break through the Giant Rock's defense. So, the Little Skeleton's defeat was certain.
"Giant Rock, smash it to pieces!"
Fueled by Zhuang Yan's anger, the Giant Rock charged towards the Little Skeleton.
However, just as it reached the Little Skeleton, the skeleton casually waved its hand, releasing a ball of black flame.
"Boom!" The flame exploded, and the Giant Rock was instantly transformed into a black fireball...
