Chapter 201: Little Goldfish's Breakthrough
Chapter 201: Little Goldfish's Breakthrough
At the Heritage Ground, within the Trial Tower.
As the Gogoknight Priest's head was blown apart, the battle began to tilt in Li Wu's favor.
The two Gogoknight Warriors, who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, had their momentum instantly suppressed.
Seizing the opportunity, the Little Skeleton unleashed its power once more, directly unleashing its newly acquired skill, Lightning Spear.
Lightning Spear was a close-range single-target ability.
The skill followed a high-burst path, with lightning energy highly concentrated and extremely fast, causing immense destruction.
The targeted Gogoknight Warrior could only lift its longsword before being pierced through the skull by the Little Skeleton's spear, turning into light and vanishing.
However, this allowed the other Gogoknight Warrior to seize the moment, pouncing forward and slashing with its longsword at the Little Skeleton's head.
The head was the Little Skeleton's weak point.
An attack elsewhere might not have caused much harm, but a hit to the head could be fatal.
Fortunately, the Little Skeleton was not just a summoned beast.
As the Gogoknight Warrior struck, Piggie One, riding on an Ironbone Boar, charged forward and unleashed its advanced skill, Heart Piercing Spear, which it had been charging up.
The combination of the advanced skill and the boar's impact resulted in the Gogoknight Warrior being impaled and freeing the Little Skeleton from its predicament.
Seizing the opportunity, the Little Skeleton raised its spear and impaled the Gogoknight Warrior's head, instantly defeating it.
With this, four out of the seven summoned beasts had perished, while the remaining three continued their pursuit of the Little Goldfish, who had killed the Gogoknight Priest with a tail slap.
The Little Skeleton switched from close combat to long-range, utilizing its One Mind, Two Uses talent once more, summoning two Bone Spears that it fired at the Gogoknight Warrior.
This was the first time the Little Skeleton had used a spell since reaching the Leader rank.
However, the results were not as satisfying as expected.
The targeted Gogoknight Warrior immediately turned around and slashed at the first Bone Spear, destroying it. Although the Little Skeleton's second spear quickly followed, the Gogoknight blocked it as well.
But as the warrior blocked the Bone Spears, the Little Goldfish, unseen, sneaked up behind it and struck again, shattering the warrior's head with a direct blow.
The remaining two Gogoknight Warriors were no match for the Little Skeleton's team. With all seven summoned beasts working together, they easily prevailed.
As the last Gogoknight Warrior vanished into light, the reward phase commenced, and seven beams of light illuminated the area.
With the appearance of the light, Li Wu's heart began to race once more.
He had experienced this sensation not long ago, and this time, he felt more prepared. However, it seemed that experience didn't matter in this situation; it was all up to luck.
Twenty minutes later, the rewards ceased, and Li Wu's feedback period ended.
The second wave of feedback made Li Wu feel even stronger, and he vaguely sensed an additional surge of energy within him.
Additionally, Li Wu checked his attribute panel.
This time, he still hadn't awakened the Summoner Talent, and the randomly acquired skills left him with mixed feelings.
One of them was the Master-level skill, Draw Lu Wu, belonging to the Little Goldfish.
"Is this really the skill I got?"
It was a versatile and powerful skill, but its name made him cringe.
However, Li Wu quickly realized that as long as he didn't mention it, no one would know his skill was called Draw Lu Wu. With this thought, Li Wu felt much better and shifted his attention to the Little Goldfish.

Description: It's clear that it's cheating again.
...
Li Wu stared at the Tsunami skill on the Little Goldfish's attribute panel, dumbfounded.
"Is this cheating a bit too obvious?"
Li Wu suddenly felt that this trial seemed to be a breeze for him.
In high spirits, Li Wu checked the progress of his other summoned beasts.
The Little Skeleton remained at the Leader 1-Star rank, and the pig that had almost been slashed to death earlier had recovered. All the little brothers had leveled up, reaching the Elite 3-Star rank, some even peaking at the 3-Star pinnacle.
Even Hahahaa had leveled up twice, reaching Elite 3-Star.
"If there's another wave, all my summoned beasts will become Leaders!"
As if on cue, the eighth round of trials began just as Li Wu spoke.
Following the previous pattern, the eighth round's summoned beasts were Leader 2-Star rank, with eight in total, all of them Gogoknights like the previous round.
This time, there were six Gogoknight Warriors and two Gogoknight Priests.
Looking at their attributes, they seemed slightly stronger than before, but Lu Wu seemed more relaxed when facing this group.
He knew that this round would be easier to handle than the seventh round.
At the same time, on the other side of the Trial Tower.
Kong Yi lay comfortably in his armchair, sipping a drink, watching Lu Wu's situation, and chatting idly with Lin Jianying.
"You know, your buddy here is quite something. I thought he wouldn't make it through the Elite Stage."
"He needed life-saving items, but I never expected him to pull through so easily, and even gain a Commander-level Summoned Beast under his command. That's impressive!"
Lin Jianying ignored him, his entire being lost and dispirited.
Kong Yi, seeing this, tried to console him: "Don't be like that. It's just killing someone, no need to be so down. Young man, this isn't the attitude you should have towards life. You need to be brave and strong, or you'll break down one day."
Listening to these words, one might think they were from a life coach.
Unfortunately, this person wasn't a life coach but a psychopath with issues.
Seeing that Lin Jianying wasn't reacting emotionally, Kong Yi stood up and whispered in his ear: "Think about your parents, think about Lu Wu who will soon lose Dudu, think about Dudu who will be killed by you, and then think about the endless darkness you will face in life. Who gave you all this? Don't you want to take revenge on me? Don't you want to kill me? Don't you want to see the person who manipulates your life, living well? I'm sure you don't want that, right? So, you need to cheer up, live on with boundless hatred for me, and grow at all costs."
Kong Yi continued, "Until one day you become strong enough to stand before me."
He paused and then smiled, "And then, I'll slap you to death!"
"I'll kill you!" Lin Jianying's eyes turned crimson with murderous intent.
"I swear, if you don't kill me now, I will kill you! Even if I can't kill you, I'll tell Lu Wu everything that happened here, so he knows who harmed Dudu. Lu Wu will also kill you then!"
The Goblin beside him ignited with blood-red flames.
Unfortunately, before Kong Yi, they were like two cute little bunnies.
The more they acted like this, the happier Kong Yi became.
"Good, good, this is how you should be, this is how you become likable. I like your murderous intent, but I don't like what you said.
Rely on Lu Wu? Why rely on him when you can't do it yourself? Do you think you're useless, that you don't have the potential to kill me? It seems I need to give you some confidence to kill me."
As Kong Yi spoke, he took out two drops of fresh blood, as red as gems, from his pocket. He then effortlessly pierced the chests of Lin Jianying and the Goblin with his fingers and placed the drops into their hearts.
As the blood entered their hearts, Lin Jianying and the Goblin were enveloped in bloodlight, and their hearts began to beat violently.
Their auras changed with every heartbeat.
In less than a few minutes, the Goblin broke through, advancing from Elite Rank 3 to Commander Rank 1, and Lin Jianying also reached the Professional Level.
However, their eyes were now bloodshot, making them look extremely terrifying.
Lin Jianying could feel his heart pounding, his mind foggy.
An unnamed rage burned in his heart.
He felt like he couldn't control himself, as the desire to kill and destroy filled his mind.
This terrified Lin Jianying.
"You...what did you do to me..."
"What did I do? I unleashed the beast within you, gave you the capital to become stronger, and prepared for what's to come.
After all, misunderstandings make the plot more dramatic, and drama makes the plot more interesting, right?
So, I need to erase any chance of you clearing up misunderstandings.
Enjoy the taste of the beast's roar, and I'll go over to watch the show."
Eight Commander Rank 2 Summoned Beasts, two Commander Rank 1, and five Elite Rank 3—this should be an exciting battle, one I can't miss..."
As Kong Yi spoke, he froze, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Lu Wu's side: "What's going on? The battle is over?
They won? How is that possible?
How long has it been? Did Lu Wu use his life-saving items?"
As Kong Yi stood there, stunned, on Lu Wu's side, all the Summoned Beasts were enveloped in golden light.
Lu Wu's little heart also began to beat violently, and the third feedback from the Commander Stage began. This time, Lu Wu felt a little different...
