Chapter 298: The King of Trash Talk, Su Lan
Chapter 298: The King of Trash Talk, Su Lan
In the previous battle, the opponent was deceived by the tactics used.
The summoner took a direct risk, personally engaging in danger and restraining the opponent at the cost of severe injuries to themselves.
The summoned beast seized the opportunity to unleash a short-duration burst skill, taking down the opponent’s summoned beast. Then, they turned around to deal with the remaining summoner.
With this extremely risky strategy, Hengheng Monster ultimately defeated the opponent and secured the first victory for Jiangnan University in the second round of the competition.
The audience in the stands watched as Hengheng Monster, her left side drenched in her own blood, proudly raised her hand after sweeping the opponent off the arena, taking on the demeanor of a female demon lord and securing her victory. They were profoundly stunned.
They had seen fighters who played recklessly before.
They had also seen fighters with high looks.
And they had seen many fighters who overcame stronger opponents.
But a fighter who was both good-looking and played recklessly, and who ultimately overcame a stronger opponent, was something they had never seen before.
At that moment, the audience was speechless.
Especially the young viewers watching the match on TV or computers, many of whom were now fans of Hengheng Monster.
From a promotional standpoint, this battle was undoubtedly a success.
Lu Wu was also very satisfied with this fight.
As soon as the battle ended, he went up and carried Hengheng Monster, who was standing on the arena with her right fist raised high, down.
He wasn't trying to take advantage of her.
As everyone knew, the Lu family had no scumbags!
The reason Lu Wu carried her was that he knew Hengheng Monster couldn't move. If he didn't carry her down, she would have been very embarrassed.
But this action from Lu Wu sent cold, sharp gazes from many corners of the arena, as if they were looking at a scumbag.
Lu Wu, however, was completely unconcerned, or rather, he was righteous and confident.
'My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just.'
Lu Wu carried Hengheng Monster like a sack and brought her down. After the match, he had Green Turtle treat her.
As a summon beast of the King Grade, Green Turtle's healing abilities were always top-notch.
Especially after the Dragon Island trip, his healing power had significantly increased. One treatment was enough to restore Hengheng Monster's strength, and she quickly snatched the bone staff from Little Skeleton and chased after Lu Wu.
This scene made someone in a corner of the audience raise an eyebrow.
He then said to a girl beside him, "If you ever meet that Lu, beat him to death for me!"
……
Hengheng Monster didn't stay off the arena for long.
Soon, the second match for Jiangnan University began.
The second match was fought by Dudu.
Her luck was good, as her opponent was a professional-level summoner.
The main summon beast her opponent brought was only a 3-Star Leader level.
This level was no match for Dudu. A single [Gravity] spell from Green Turtle easily crushed the opponent, ending the battle with ease.
After Dudu, the third match was fought by Zhao Li.
His luck wasn't as good as Dudu's, but it was still decent. His opponent was a senior summoner, but one who had just advanced, with a strength level similar to Zhao Li's a few months ago. Facing such an opponent, Zhao Li easily won the battle.
Thus, Jiangnan University won three out of the first three matches in the second round, a performance that was truly impressive.
However, this momentum was halted in the fourth match.
The fourth match was fought by Su Lan.
By this point, Jiangnan University's luck had run out.
His opponent was from Shanghai University, which ranked in the top three in the Hua Region. Each member of their team was formidable.
Encountering a member of Shanghai University, Su Lan had drawn the worst possible lot.
Almost no one, including Lu Wu, believed that Su Lan could win this battle.
It was a fight destined to be lost!
Lu Wu's only requirement for Su Lan was to try his best to put up a good fight.
Su Lan's face turned dark. His opponent was a senior summoner with a 2-Star Leader-level main summoner. Against such an opponent, what kind of impressive battle could he possibly put up?
Moreover, the opponent, because Su Lan was from Jiangnan University, kept giving him strange looks, which added a lot of pressure.
The other fighter bounced onto the stage, but Su Lan walked up with his head hung low, looking back every step of the way.
He kept glancing at Lu Wu as he walked, his steps heavy.
As soon as Su Lan stepped onto the stage, the opponent eagerly asked, "Can we start now?"
Clearly, the opponent was raring to go.
This made Su Lan shudder, and he shook his head. "Can you wait a moment? I want to say something."
The opponent was quite understanding and nodded. "Say what you need to say!"
Su Lan's face turned pale again, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and began.
"I know that no one believes I can win this match.
The power gap between us is too great, and even our president doesn't think I can win.
My fate is already decided; this is a battle destined to be lost!
It's almost impossible to change!"
"The world is like this; many outcomes cannot be changed.
The idea that effort always brings results is just a beautiful fairy tale.
Many things cannot be achieved through effort alone.
For example, the initial summon beast; no matter how hard you try, luck decides everything.
Faced with the impossible, perhaps giving up is the best choice!"
Yes, the bowl of toxic chicken soup Su Lan served was unexpectedly easy to resonate with.
In a world where talent and strength reign supreme, many face injustices or helpless situations to varying degrees. Su Lan's words cast a slight gloom over the atmosphere, which made the organizers frown. This negative energy went against the positive message they wanted to promote.
Just as the organizers were about to intervene, Su Lan shifted her tone.
"But I refuse to give up!
I know conceding is the best choice, but I refuse to accept defeat and fail so easily.
Sometimes, even when we know we might fail, we must still strive. Who knows if a miracle might happen?
Take our President, for instance! When he summoned the Little Skeleton, if he hadn't put in the effort and given up, there wouldn't be the miracle we see today."
With that, Su Lan declared her determination to fight with all her might.
"Let the battle begin! I will concentrate all my strength on the first strike, and I'm putting everything on the line!"
As Su Lan raised her arm and called out, her opponent looked bewildered by her dramatic gesture, but her words ignited a spark in many otaku-minded individuals in the audience.
The entire arena buzzed with excitement.
The organizers nodded in satisfaction at the positive atmosphere.
With the referee's signal, the battle commenced. Su Lan's two summoned beasts faced off against the opponent's single beast, forming a triangle of power.

Just a glance at the basic stats was enough for Li Wu to predict Su Lan's fate.
However, Su Lan seemed like a different person now.
She had been nervous before the match, but now she exuded an aura of determination, ready to fight to the death. She took the lead, standing at the forefront, while her two summoned beasts gathered their strength behind her.
"Is she going to fight personally?"
It was a foolish choice for a summoner to engage directly.
Considering the performance of the Hengheng Monster, Su Lan's team remained cautious.
According to her original battle plan, she should have dominated the opponent from the start. But after Su Lan's speech, if she initiated a strong offense, it would lack grace. So, Li Wu watched as Su Lan gathered her strength.
He anticipated a surprise from Su Lan.
And a surprise came.
"I'm going in! Be ready!"
Su Lan waved her hand, signaling her opponent.
"Go, Steel Feather Eagle! Steel Feather Storm!"
In an instant, the Steel Feather Eagle took to the air, its wings generating a terrifying storm of steel feathers that surged towards the opponent.
"Carnivorous Demon!"
The opponent called out, and the demon moved to intercept the attack, enduring the Steel Feather Storm.
However, the opponent remained vigilant, as the storm's power seemed weaker than expected. It didn't resemble Su Lan's signature move, and they were cautious of her potential burst. Sure enough, Su Lan's burst came.
"Now! Go, Silver Moon Wolf! Silver Moon Roar!"
At Su Lan's roar, her wolf opened its mouth, unleashing a terrifying pillar of light.
The opponent's expression changed, quickly directing the Carnivorous Demon to defend.
But as the demon braced for the attack, the opponent was puzzled. The power seemed off; it looked powerful, yet it was weaker than the Steel Feather Storm? Could there be another killing move? The Metropolis University summoner hesitated, and at that moment, Su Lan raised her eyebrows, shaking her head in exasperation.
"I didn't expect my all-out attack to be blocked by a Chief 2-Star's defense.
Your strength far exceeds my imagination!"
The Metropolis University summoner was baffled. What was this? A 10-point special effect with zero damage? Did Su Lan mispeak, or did I mishear? As they were still confused, Su Lan, who had been dejected, regained her spirit.
"I keep my word. If you withstand my two attacks, this battle is yours.
But I won't concede so easily.
You're a senior at Metropolis University, and I only enrolled at Jiangnan University last year. Give me three years, and we'll battle again in three years!"
With that, Su Lan turned and walked off the stage.
At that moment, the entire arena erupted in cheers, echoing Su Lan's name.
Watching this scene unfold, Li Wu sighed, "When it comes to showboating, I, Li Wu, concede that Su Lan is the strongest!"
