Chapter 175: Gale Wolf
Chapter 175: Gale Wolf
Arena 1.
As the battle concluded, Lin Jianying and the Goblin embraced, eliciting a chorus of cheers from the audience.
"Go, Team 042! Lin Jianying, you're amazing! Goblin, you're the best!"
The praise once showered upon Team 003 now shifted entirely to Team 042.
Some even took to the internet, confidently declaring their predictions.
Li Wu had known all along that the Goblin would unleash its power today, and he had prepared a detailed explanation, listing reasons one through four, logically convincing anyone who read it.
However, had he deleted his previous posts criticizing Lin Jianying, his words would have carried even more weight.
But this wasn't the main concern.
Li Wu and his team paid no heed to the audience's opinions; their focus was on the Goblin's transformation.
Li Wu had noticed earlier that after receiving nine injections, the Goblin's mood had been influenced by Lin Jianying, causing its entire summoned beast state to change, showing signs of impending evolution.
Yet, he hadn't anticipated the Goblin's evolution into this form, nor did he understand the process. Now, he was curious about the Goblin.
He wanted to unravel the mystery of the Goblin's evolution.
evolution.
This was a common affliction among cultivators.
The summoned beasts of Team 042 were equally intrigued by the Goblin's evolution.
Little Skeleton mimicked Li Wu, stretching out its bony hand to touch and squeeze the Goblin randomly.
Little Goldfish emerged from Li Wu's clothing to take a look, but upon realizing it couldn't be recruited as a minion, it lost interest.
The most outrageous was Piggie, who nudged its nose against the Goblin and even sneaked a lick, seemingly curious about the taste of the transformed Goblin.
Then, it started spitting like a nauseated person.
After all this disturbance, the Goblin had had enough.
It felt that it was no longer the same as before; it was now stronger and no longer needed to be touched randomly.
So, it decided to resist, but as soon as it pushed Li Wu's hand away, Lin Jianying slapped it, and the little creature became docile again.
Its state reverted to numbness once more.
Touch all you want, it didn't matter anymore; the Goblin had already been defiled.
In the end, Team 002 came to the rescue.
"Team 042, how much longer will you keep touching it? Are we going to have a match or not?"
Fang Bai's face turned ashen at these words, reminding Li Wu of his primary purpose for the day.
At the same time, Team 002's second summoned beast entered the arena.
Team 002's second beast was a wolf.
...

...
Li Wu raised an eyebrow upon seeing the wolf's attributes, not surprised by its traits, as he had already examined them before. Instead, his attention was on the wolf's status.
This reminded him of Hengheng Guai's cat, which had narrowly escaped a throat-slashing the day before.
His gaze turned colder.
"Goblin, step down. Piggie, it's your turn!"
Having discerned the opponent's intention, Li Wu naturally wouldn't let the Goblin stay and get beaten up.
After its burst of power, the Goblin was now in a weakened state, and leaving it up there would only result in it getting pummeled, as its skin wasn't as thick as Piggie's.
Fang Bai felt a twinge of regret when Li Wu replaced the Goblin, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on Piggie.
"This round should be secure. The Gale Wolf has an advantage against this pig; after all, their speeds aren't on the same level."
In the world of summoning, speed was the ultimate defense.
At least, possessing greater speed ensured that the opponent couldn't touch you, thus maintaining control.
"Do you know what to do?"
"Yes, the Pig Harassment Strategy!"
Fang Bai and his other nameless teammate exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with confidence.
Then, the referee gave the signal.
The second match between Teams 002 and 042 officially began.
As the battle commenced, both summoned beasts sprang into action simultaneously.
The Gale Wolf instantly unleashed its power, firing multiple wind blades at Piggie while rushing towards it.
This tactic was identical to the Little Devil's, showcasing their shared team strategy.
However, the difference lay in the timing. The Little Devil's energy balls arrived first, whereas the Gale Wolf's wind blades were still in motion when it reached Piggie, its speed surpassing that of its own wind blades.
The wind blades had traveled only two-thirds of the distance when the Gale Wolf stood before Piggie, its gaping maw aiming for Piggie's head.
In contrast, Piggie's approach was distinct.
Although it was on the same team as the Goblin, its strategy was entirely different.
Well, this pig had no strategy at all.
It simply grew larger and remained motionless, allowing the wolf to bite and the wind blades to strike it.
The Gale Wolf pounced, its jaws clamping down on the pig's head, but to everyone's surprise, the pig's tough hide remained unscathed, not even a scratch on its skin.
The two gusts of wind, the Gale Blades, shattered upon contact with Piggie, not a single hair on its body harmed.
Its defense left Team 002 in awe and frustration.
However, they were prepared, and soon the second command was issued.
"Attack its weak spots—eyes, nose, and... perineum!"
The Gale Wolf extended its claws, aiming for Piggie's eyes, but the clever pig simply closed its eyes.
Not only did it close its eyes, but it also tucked its nose under its forelegs.
In the 1619 version of the game, this pig wasn't deaf. It heard what the Gale Wolf heard and knew exactly where the attack was aimed.
A smart pig knew how to counter.
The only thing it couldn't quite grasp was, what was this 'perineum'?
The Gale Wolf quickly provided the answer. It was fast, and seeing that the eyes and nose were well-protected, it swiftly circled behind Piggie, aiming for its rear.
Fortunately, Piggie's curly tail guarded its vital areas; otherwise, it might have been in trouble.
Finally, Piggie understood what 'perineum' meant, and the lazy little pig was thoroughly enraged. In an instant, it activated Gravity, increasing the force tenfold.
The wolf was indeed swift, but its attack was no match for the pig's defense.
As Piggie unleashed its gravity, the wolf immediately escaped the pull.
Thus, their first clash ended in a stalemate, neither side gaining the upper hand.
Team 002 wasn't too discouraged, as this was all part of their plan.
They knew their opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and it was time to execute their strategy.
The Pig Harassment Strategy, a form of harassment, was about to begin.
Li Wu understood Team 002's tactics, and they were well aware of his summoned beasts' conditions, knowing exactly how to counter them.
While the pig's defense was formidable, its speed was sluggish. The Gale Wolf's constant harassment would wear down the pig's stamina, forcing it out of its giant form.
Once the pig lost its giant form, the battle would be as good as over.
This was the essence of the Pig Harassment Strategy.
However, as they began implementing their plan, they encountered a problem.
The pig strategically moved to a corner of the arena, turned its rear towards the outside, and lay down, covering its nose with its tail and narrowing its eyes to a slit.
Team 002 found themselves at a loss, unable to target the pig's vulnerable rear without leaving the arena themselves.
If they did, one gravity attack from the pig would trap them, and even the swift Gale Wolf wouldn't escape.
Direct attacks were futile; the Gale Wolf's speed was impressive, but its attack power was average, incapable of breaching the pig's defense.
After several attempts, Team 002 achieved nothing, and the Gale Wolf narrowly avoided being bitten.
It was then that they recalled the leader of Team 042 was a Breeder.
Engaging in tactics with such an opponent was challenging.
Team 002 was outmaneuvered.
"What now? Do we just stand here and wait for it to tire out?"
"No good. If both sides don't engage for over five minutes, it's ruled a draw."
"How about attacking every four minutes?"
"Do you understand the meaning of 'cumulative'?"
After much deliberation, they couldn't devise another plan. They tested the waters a few times, but ultimately, the Gale Wolf had to retreat and crouch on the other side.
The standoff between the pig and the wolf ended in a draw.
This was Li Wu's initial strategy.
Ideally, he would defeat the wolf, but its speed was too great, the pig's movements too slow, and the gravity's coverage too limited.
This tactic, though somewhat unscrupulous, was the best option.
If the wolf hadn't been swapped out to face Little Skeleton, its speed would have been a challenge for the skeleton. Even if the Gale Wolf couldn't penetrate Little Skeleton's defenses, the skeleton would struggle to land hits.
The saying, 'speed is the ultimate defense,' held true.
With the battle between the pig and the wolf concluded, the final match between Teams 002 and 042 officially commenced.
The audience held their breath in anticipation.
Fang Bai's heart raced with tension.
He was anxious, fearing that Li Wu's third summoned beast would be the Little Goldfish.
Although they believed they had seen through the Little Goldfish's strengths and weaknesses, facing it directly still made him uneasy.
Thankfully, Li Wu's next summoned beast wasn't the Little Goldfish but the Little Skeleton.
Fang Bai's heart sank at the sight of the Little Skeleton.
He was confident he could defeat the Little Skeleton! Then, he witnessed the Little Skeleton pull out a large phone, summoning three Iron Bone Boars, each a 2-star Elite!
