Chapter 202: Kong Yi's Misfortune
Chapter 202: Kong Yi's Misfortune
Li Wu's eighth round ended even faster than the seventh, primarily due to an unexpected collision.
Just as Little Goldfish was about to break through, a new skill appeared, and they collided head-on.
Little Goldfish immediately pounced and unleashed a 【Tsunami】, creating a three-minute illusion of a false ocean.
This skill would be useless for anyone else, but for Little Goldfish, it was incredibly useful.
As the false ocean appeared, Little Goldfish's Talent, 【Son of the Ocean】, was triggered, and their strength soared from Commander 1-Star to Leader 1-Star.
Although it could only last for three minutes, three minutes was already a considerable duration, enough for some people to accomplish several tasks.
Little Goldfish accomplished this in less than two minutes.
While Kong Yi was still busy destroying others, Li Wu had already finished the battle and was enjoying his rewards.
The rewards from the eighth round directly promoted Little Skeleton and Little Goldfish to Commander 2-Star, an even faster upgrade than when they were at the Common level.
Hanhan also reached the Commander level alongside them.
As Hanhan broke through, Li Wu experienced his third Leader feedback.
This feedback was slightly different from the previous ones; his heart rate slowed down, but the entire organ felt like it was being peeled open and painfully modified.
Li Wu had never experienced such agony before, and he almost died from the pain.
However, after enduring it, he surprisingly felt a sense of comfort.
"What's going on? No way!"
Li Wu had a foreboding feeling and immediately checked his attribute panel.
To his surprise, he found a skill called 【Indomitable Growth】 in his skill list.
"Did they really give me this skill as feedback?"
Li Wu was speechless, "Why give me this skill? I'm not into masochism!
This skill is useless to me!"
This skill only activates when taking a beating, but would Li Wu ever let himself be beaten? No way, it was a joke!
Besides, there was no need for him to endure beatings, was there?
He was a Summoner; as long as his subordinates improved, his strength would increase!
So, this broken skill was utterly useless to him, right? But since he had received the skill, he couldn't return it; he had to bear with it.
Li Wu felt depressed.
Meanwhile, Kong Yi was also in a foul mood.
He couldn't believe that while he had briefly lost focus, Li Wu had already completed the eighth round of trials.
How long had he been distracted for? It hadn't even been five minutes in total!
In such a short time, how had Li Wu managed to defeat eight Commander 2-Stars with just two Commander 1-Star summoned beasts?
Kong Yi racked his brains and could only think of one possibility: Li Wu had used his life-saving item.
Of course, it might not be the case, and Li Wu's summoned beasts could be exceptionally strong.
But he couldn't take that chance.
What if Li Wu had used his life-saving item?
If he had, then Jiang Yuesheng, Li Wu's backer, might already know about the situation, and the show wouldn't go on as planned.
This wouldn't do!
"It seems I'll have to slightly speed things up and bring forward our grand performance."
After a brief hesitation, Kong Yi made his decision.
"Wait for me, I'll go and bring that fat girl over."
He was preparing to start the show right away.
With a wave of his hand, a gateway appeared, and he stepped through.
On the other side was the Trial Tower.
Yes, this Trial Tower was a special item that could create separate spaces for different individuals.
And Kong Yi had arrived in Dudu's space.
At this moment, Dudu's Tuan Tuan and Green Cub were in the midst of a battle.
Dudu's progress was significantly slower than Li Wu's; while Li Wu had already completed eight rounds, she was only on the fifth, although she was about to finish it.
Kong Yi's timing was perfect; just as he arrived, Tuan Tuan defeated the last Elite 2-Star summoned beast.
Two beams of golden light descended, and both Tuan Tuan and Green Cub advanced.
With Tuan Tuan's guidance, Green Cub directly reached Elite 3-Star, and Tuan Tuan broke through to the Leader level in the golden light, while Dudu also advanced to the Professional Level.
"Oh, you've broken through?"
Kong Yi's eerie voice suddenly startled Dudu, who was in the midst of her breakthrough.
When she turned and saw who was speaking, her face paled instantly.
"Li Wu is the weirdo from Squad 003!"
Faced with danger, Dudu's first thought was to seek Li Wu's help.
But remembering that Li Wu wasn't with her, Dudu could only rely on her pet pig.
She ran towards Tuan Tuan, hiding her small frame behind the two-fist-sized pig, and threatened with a shaky voice, "Don't come any closer! My Tuan Tuan is super powerful! If you dare to come closer, I'll have Tuan Tuan ram you to death!"
Coincidentally, Tuan Tuan had just finished its advancement and heard the threat. It snorted and grunted, signaling its exceptional strength and willingness to ram the person in front of them.
However, the opponent showed no fear of this unintimidating threat.
"Oh really? So powerful? Come, let it ram me to death then!"
As he spoke, he approached Dudu, terrifying her.
Dudu was scared out of her wits and was on the verge of tears.
"Tuan Tuan, ram him to death!"
She entrusted Tuan Tuan with the task, and in an instant, Tuan Tuan grew in size and pounced towards the human in front of them.
This scene amused Kong Yi, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"What's this? Using the most cowardly posture to speak the harshest words? That's interesting, but if you want to kill me with that pig, it won't be easy!"
As Kong Yi spoke, he stretched out his hand.
At that moment, Tuan Tuan had already rushed to Kong Yi's front.
The advanced skills 【Gravity】 and 【Cuddly Pig Trample】 struck together, and Tuan Tuan's combat power skyrocketed after becoming a Leader.
The combined force of the two skills was terrifying.
In a flash, Kong Yi easily deflected the attack as if it were a gentle breeze.
The originally giant pig was reduced to its original form with a single palm strike from Kong Yi.
After effortlessly dealing with Tuan Tuan, Kong Yi continued to smile as he approached Dudu.
"It seems your pig can't protect you. What now? Are you relying on that green ball of fur in your arms?"
"You... you... you stay away! If you come any closer, I'll beat you to death! I'm powerful now; I can feel it!" Dudu clenched her soft, chubby fist, attempting to intimidate Kong Yi.
But she was on the verge of tears, while Kong Yi remained unmoved and continued approaching her.
Dudu was terrified.
Instinctively, she unleashed the power she had just gained.
"I told you not to come closer! Can't you hear me?!" Dudu's fist, filled with urgency and anger, flew towards Kong Yi. As she swung her fist, it instantly swelled to over ten times its size, transforming into a massive arm that smashed towards Kong Yi.
Seeing this, Kong Yi laughed.
"You can use the feedback you just gained, your Talent is impressive. But please, use your brain, won't you?
Your power comes from your pig's feedback. Its Leader-level combat power couldn't harm me, and your combat power, having just gained feedback, might not even reach the Elite level. Even if I stand here motionless, you can't do anything to me... Oh crap!"
Kong Yi's words were abruptly cut short as his expression changed.
At that moment, he sensed a terrifying power erupting from Dudu.
This power originated from the ring Li Wu had given to Dudu, one of its several functions being 【Rich Lady's Power】.
Though 【Rich Lady's Power】 was a random name Li Wu had given it, its effect was similar to his naming, allowing one to borrow the power of the Rich Lady for attacks during crises.
"How did Jiang Yuesheng's power erupt from her body?"
Kong Yi was utterly bewildered, but he quickly gathered his strength to defend against Dudu's punch.
However, due to his previous showboating, he reacted a beat too late. Although he managed to gather his strength to defend just before Dudu's strike, it was still too hasty, and his defense was shattered by her punch.
But the worst was yet to come. Dudu was in a state of sheer terror, and her attacks were ferocious as she punched Kong Yi relentlessly, disregarding everything else.
Kong Yi blocked the first punch but was hit by the second, sending him flying and even drawing blood.
"Damn!"
Injured, Kong Yi's face turned ashen. He knew he had no chance of capturing Dudu, so without another word, he turned and fled back to Lin Jianying's space.
Upon returning to Lin Jianying's side, Kong Yi grew increasingly furious.
He had calculated everything, but he had overlooked one detail—Li Wu had given the power to protect himself to this little fat girl, Dudu.
This not only resulted in his injury but also ruined his original plan and offended Jiang Yuesheng.
"Since I've offended them, I might as well offend them thoroughly."
Kong Yi grabbed Lin Jianying and said, "I originally intended for you to torment the fat girl, but due to this unexpected turn of events, I have no choice but to change the game. Wait for it; I'll bring Li Wu here for you to torment!"
Kong Yi opened a gateway and stepped through, entering Li Wu's space.
After being injured earlier, he was in no mood for chitchat and rushed straight towards Li Wu.
He moved incredibly fast.
Li Wu barely had time to see what it was.
He only caught a glimpse of something zipping past him and then disappearing.
"What just happened? Was that a giant black rat that just flew by?"
Li Wu was utterly confused, clueless about the situation.
Meanwhile, in Lin Jianying's space, Kong Yi, who had narrowly escaped from Li Wu, held his neck. His mind was filled with the image of that graceful, ethereal figure that had just appeared.
His face was etched with fear, and he couldn't utter a single word.
It was at this moment that he realized the true nature of the being he had provoked, the one he had intended to manipulate like a chess piece. Or, to put it another way, he finally understood the extent of their connections and how formidable their backing was.
Even a psychopath like him felt regret at that moment.
But it was too late, too late. His throat was slit, and the cold seeped into his body. He couldn't survive.
He was unwilling! He refused to die like this! In his final moments, he turned his gaze towards Lin Jianying, and then his body turned to ashes, but a bloodlight surged from his remains and flowed into Lin Jianying's body.
