Chapter 204: Inheritance

Chapter 204: Inheritance



At the Legacy Ground, the Trial Tower.

As soon as Li Wu stepped onto the altar, his body regained control.

The summoned beast across from him transformed into a Little Skeleton, its attributes immediately revealed to Li Wu.

Description: Hmm, this is the Elite version of the Little Skeleton.

...

"Damn, you think I don't know the Elite 1 Star Skeleton's stats?"

Li Wu was so infuriated by the creature's attributes that he almost spat out blood.

This thing had simply copied the Little Skeleton's attributes, only reducing its rank to Elite 1-Star.

Moreover, Li Wu doubted if its rank had truly decreased.

However, whether Li Wu doubted or found it unbelievable, neither would help him with the situation at hand.

He couldn't escape the beating he was about to receive.

The Little Skeleton on the other side immediately launched an attack as soon as it was ready.

It charged forward, its skeleton glowing with electricity, and thrust its spear towards Li Wu.

As a Breeder, the toughest fight Li Wu had ever faced was bullying a 1-Star Hahahaa. He had never encountered such a formidable opponent, and his hair stood on end in fear.

His heart pounded, and with a flash of light beneath his feet, his body instinctively moved, creating distance from the Little Skeleton.

It was clear that after being startled, Li Wu had instantly mastered the skill, Charge.

But against this fake Little Skeleton, merely mastering Charge was not enough.

Li Wu could charge, but so could the skeleton, and it had more tricks up its sleeve.

The skeleton's bones glowed, and its speed surged again, instantly catching up to Li Wu. With a swift swing of its silver lance, it struck Li Wu, sending him flying.

Below the altar, Li Wu's subordinates watched their master being beaten.

The most anxious was the Little Skeleton, who immediately tried to rush towards the altar, but before it could get close, it was blocked by the radiant light surrounding the altar.

Frantically, the skeleton's bones glowed, as it relentlessly attacked the barrier, desperate to get inside and save Li Wu, but to no avail.

Even when Li Wu's summoned beasts joined the fight, they couldn't budge the radiant light.

In this battle, Li Wu had no one to rely on; he had to fight alone.

Li Wu seemed to realize this, and despite being beaten, he quickly gathered his resolve.

While guarding against the Little Skeleton, he frantically racked his brain.

"No one can help me now. All I have are the skills Charge, Draw Lu Wu, and Indomitable Growth."

The last passive skill needed no explanation; it only made him slightly tougher, with no other apparent use.

"And the skeleton has a lance. If I get hit by it, the toughness granted by Indomitable Growth won't be of any use."

Wait, a lance? Li Wu suddenly remembered something and fixed his gaze on the skeleton's long spear.

"If I can get rid of that thing, won't my situation improve?"

Li Wu began to think of ways to disarm the skeleton.

As Li Wu pondered, the Little Skeleton also sprang into action, charging at him again.

Li Wu suddenly snapped out of his thoughts; it was too early to think about disarming his opponent. He should focus on surviving the skeleton's attacks first.

At this moment, Li Wu could only recall everything he knew about the Charge skill.

Among the three skills he had mastered, he was most familiar with Charge.

After all, the Little Skeleton had awakened this skill half a year ago, and it had become its core ability.

Li Wu had designed tactics for the Little Skeleton centered around this skill numerous times. He might even understand the skill's functions better than the skeleton itself.

The Little Skeleton was just a summoned beast; what did it know about 'charging'? With the theoretical foundation of the Charge skill, Li Wu combined his understanding with the feeling he had just experienced when using Charge, making it incredibly easy for him to master the skill.

Additionally, with a Little Skeleton wielding a lance chasing him, the pressure of the situation caused Li Wu's mastery of the Charge skill to skyrocket.

With the skillful use of the Charging skill, Li Wu managed to dodge several deadly thrusts from the little skeleton.

If Li Wu were to check his attribute panel at this moment, he would see that his Charging skill's proficiency had rapidly changed within just one minute.

From Unlearned to Beginner, and then to Mastery.

This rate of progress was terrifying.

But such progress came at a cost—energy consumption. Li Wu's energy reserves were already low, and it was uncertain if he could last three minutes. After a minute of reckless fighting, Li Wu suddenly felt his energy dwindling to a mere sliver.

This was a critical situation.

What made it worse was that the little skeleton seized the opportunity to thrust its spear at him again.

In that moment, Li Wu's mind raced, considering countless ways to respond. Finally, gritting his teeth, he decided to neither dodge nor evade, but instead, he charged straight at the skeleton.

'Pfft!' The little skeleton's bone spear pierced Li Wu's left shoulder, and blood flowed from the wound.

At that moment, the little skeleton outside the altar, who had been unable to enter, froze. Its eyes then lit up with the glow of lightning.

Within its skeletal frame, a faint aura of power emerged, and inside its bones, a faint light seemed to flicker.

As the little skeleton underwent this transformation, its four minions all prostrated themselves as if paying homage to a monarch.

Clearly, Li Wu's injury had greatly affected the little skeleton.

At this point, there were already signs of an impending evolution.

If this trend continued, and Li Wu took a few more hits, the little skeleton might evolve instantly.

Unfortunately, Li Wu, being oblivious, didn't understand the importance of enduring hardship and pushing himself to ensure his skeleton got a head start.

When his left shoulder was pierced, Li Wu grabbed a long spear with both hands.

At the same time, he summoned all his remaining strength and kicked the little skeleton, sending it flying.

Afterwards, Li Wu pulled the spear from his shoulder, causing blood to gush out.

It was a pitiful sight, and Li Wu was in pain.

Amidst the pain, Li Wu surprisingly felt a sense of exhilaration and comfort, and even his depleted energy seemed to start flowing back.

It was evident that the Indomitable Growth skill was taking effect.

Li Wu finally experienced firsthand what it felt like to be a hahahaa and get beaten.

This prompted him to shout, "Come on! Keep hitting me!"

The little skeleton outside the arena was stunned by this shout, and its evolution was interrupted.

Because, to its surprise, Li Wu didn't seem to be in pain; instead, he seemed to be enjoying it.

This sudden change in emotion halted the little skeleton's evolution.

However, this was a blessing in disguise. Its quality was still at the Bronze rank, and even if it forced its evolution, it wouldn't be perfect. Moreover, the little skeleton's evolutionary experience wasn't entirely fruitless.

If Li Wu looked at the little skeleton now, he would see that its attributes had changed.

Unfortunately, Li Wu didn't have the leisure to observe the skeleton at this moment.

He seemed like a changed person.

After being wounded, Li Wu appeared to have unlocked a new world, no longer fearing combat and even craving it, desiring to be beaten.

Despite the blood flowing from his left shoulder and his energy nearly depleted, Li Wu charged forward, turning defense into offense and engaging the little skeleton in close combat.

Seeing Li Wu grab the spear and charge, the little skeleton switched its tactics.

In a 6-9-1 book-bar-watch-no-mistake version!

It changed from close combat to casting spells.

The little skeleton raised its hand and shot a Bone Fang at Li Wu.

Li Wu swung his silver spear, but it didn't block the attack, and the wound on his left shoulder was torn further. The Bone Fang hit Li Wu's chest.

Fortunately, the attack wasn't very powerful, or Li Wu would have been in serious trouble.

Li Wu, unbothered by his injuries, continued his charge.

The little skeleton shot a Bone Spear at him, and Li Wu swung his silver spear again. This time, because the Bone Spear was longer, Li Wu managed to deflect it.

But before Li Wu could rejoice, he realized he couldn't move.

What trapped him was the Bone Prison that his little skeleton had learned and never used on others before.

Li Wu never imagined that the Bone Prison he had taught his skeleton would one day be used against him by another skeleton.

What made Li Wu frown even more was that, as he was trapped, the little skeleton outside began to charge up.

As Lu Wu observed, the charging ability was none other than the little skeleton's ultimate spell, the terrifying Thunder Strike. Lu Wu knew all too well the devastating power of this skill—it could shatter rocks, let alone humans.

Lu Wu felt a sense of fear, wanting to break free from the bone prison, but he was trapped and couldn't escape. In less than three seconds, before Lu Wu could break free, the little skeleton's Thunder Strike came crashing down upon him.

At that moment, Lu Wu was helpless. All he could do was adjust the angle of his hands. He held the silver spear above his head and began to channel his Charging skill, attempting to absorb the falling thunder into the spear.

A cracking sound echoed as the thunder struck the silver spear in Lu Wu's hand. The bone prison trapping Lu Wu shattered, and Lu Wu, unfortunately, was not spared. The thunderbolt struck him, leaving him with a charred exterior and a tender interior.

His hair stood on end, and his entire body trembled in the electric glow. Lu Wu truly felt like he was on the brink of death. Every inch of his body ached, and he struggled to maintain control. If not for the electric current supporting him, he might have collapsed already.

But the pain was temporary. As the agony subsided, the Indomitable Growth skill took effect. Lu Wu felt an indescribable sense of relief enveloping him, causing him to groan involuntarily. His body quickly regained control.

The moment he regained control, Lu Wu immediately threw the spear in his hand. With a flash of electricity, the spear pierced the little skeleton in the altar, causing the other little skeletons outside the altar to flinch in sympathy.

Simultaneously, the golden altar beneath Lu Wu lit up, bathing him in a golden glow. At that moment, the joy of Indomitable Growth and the golden light merged into one.

Lu Wu, experiencing double the joy, felt like he was soaring to the heavens. And indeed, to others, he seemed to have ascended.

From the moment Lu Wu defeated the little skeleton, the final trial was complete, marking the end of the entire trial. The remaining participants, whether in the midst of trials or not, were all expelled from the Trial Tower.

Everyone who exited the tower looked up and saw Lu Wu, enveloped in a golden glow. Different people witnessed this scene with varying emotions.

Wang Jun felt a tinge of regret: "As expected, I lost to him again."

Lin Jianying, seeing Lu Wu unharmed, finally let out a sigh of relief.

As for Dudu, she was thinking of how to approach Lu Wu. Meanwhile, the remaining two members of Team 003 had no interest in watching; their attention was solely on Kong Yi.

Regardless of their thoughts, Lu Wu's inheritance ended. As the inheritance state concluded, Lu Wu emerged from his state of double joy and immediately checked his attribute panel.

Lu Wu was taken aback as he examined his attributes and touched himself, only to find a golden token on his body.

Lu Wu stared at the token in his hand, perplexed. Just then, the Legacy Ground began to usher them out.

Before Lu Wu and his group of eight could react, they were swept out of the Legacy Ground...
