Chapter 299: Heavenward Strike
Chapter 299: Heavenward Strike
Su Lan's opponent was left questioning his existence.
He couldn't quite understand why, despite his victory, another's name echoed through the arena.
He felt a bit out of touch with the times.
Li Wu, on the other hand, was thoroughly impressed by Su Lan's showboating skills.
To recognize such a level of skill in a surrender, he thought, was quite remarkable.
Compared to this, Li Wu's own surrender back in high school league seemed rather unsophisticated.
Li Wu pondered the technique of such a surrender, wondering if he should learn from it. Although he likely wouldn't need it in the future, there were still valuable lessons to be gained.
However, after Li Wu witnessed Su Lan's return from the stage and the subsequent pecking and biting from his pets, he quietly closed the door to prevent Little Skeleton and the others from witnessing something they shouldn't and picking up bad habits.
Not long after Su Lan's match...
The second round and final battle for Jiangnan University was about to begin.
Wu Wei was set to face an opponent from a relatively unknown university.
Although the university was not well-known, the opponent's skill was exceptional, reaching the level of a senior professional Summoner.
Li Wu had a deep impression of this opponent, mainly due to their Summoned Beast.
...
Name: Green Turtle (Secondary Evolution)
Strength: 1-Star (Chief)
Quality: Ordinary (Bronze) (Improved)
Attribute: Water
Status: Calm (As instructed by the owner, to win this battle with a steady approach)
Weakness: Grass
Skill Talent: N/A
...
The opponent's Summoned Beast was not only a rare turtle but also strategically advantageous against Wu Wei's monkey in terms of attributes and tactics.
...
Name: Flame Monkey (Secondary Evolution)
Strength: 3-Star (Leader)
Quality: Ordinary (Silver) (Improved)
Attribute: Fire
Status: Irritable (I hate that guy from before)
Weakness: Water (Average)
Inherited Skill: Heavenward Strike (Mastery)
...
On one side stood a two-meter-tall green turtle, and on the other, an eighteen-decimeter-tall monkey holding a staff, its fur glowing with fiery red flames.
As the two Summoned Beasts took their places, the audience began to murmur.
Many felt sympathy for Wu Wei, facing an opponent with a tactical advantage.
However, after witnessing Wu Wei's battles against the Hengheng Monster and the Prank King, a significant portion of the audience still had faith in his abilities, believing he could secure this victory.
Wu Wei paid no heed to the audience's thoughts.
Nor did his opponent seem concerned.
From the moment they stepped onto the stage, their eyes locked onto each other.
Both were men of few words, and after a brief self-introduction, they signaled to the referee that they were ready to begin.
"The match begins!"
At the referee's signal, Wu Wei took the initiative.
"Brother Monkey, attack!"
With these four words, the Flame Monkey erupted in a blaze, charging directly towards the opponent's Summoner.
The opponent's Summoner, showing no surprise, took a single step forward and created a blue water screen, shielding himself.
The Flame Monkey's strike, accompanied by a fiery glow, slammed into the water screen, causing it to tremble under the sheer force.
But the trembling water screen suddenly transformed into a raging torrent, pushing the Flame Monkey back with an invisible force.
However, instead of retreating, the monkey's ferocity only intensified, causing its flames to erupt.
At that moment, the water screen around the Green Turtle's mouth vanished, and a terrifying water cannon blasted forth, aimed directly at Wu Wei. But the Green Turtle's attack was swiftly countered.
The monkey spun around and unleashed a powerful blow, effortlessly smashing the water cannon.
As the monkey struck, another, more ferocious water cannon surged forward.
It turned out that the previous water cannon had not been fired by the Green Turtle but by the opponent's Summoner.
This water cannon restrained the monkey, allowing the Green Turtle to strike while the monkey was off-balance.
The monkey had no time to react and was knocked away by the water cannon.
The opponent's Summoner smiled in triumph.
However, his smile soon faded as a monkey appeared from nowhere, its staff swinging with incredible force, shattering the water screen and exposing the Summoner.
Seizing the opportunity, the monkey swung its staff towards the opponent's Summoner.
In a desperate move, the Green Turtle slammed its front limbs onto the ground, summoning a water ring that collided with the monkey, sending it flying.
The opponent seized the moment, firing two water columns, one after the other, with one aimed at Wu Wei and the other at the monkey.
The monkey's staff blazed with fiery light, and with a mighty swing, it shattered the water cannon. A clone of the monkey appeared out of thin air, blocking the water cannon on Wu Wei's side.
With this, the first round of their confrontation finally concluded.
Wu Wei's skill was revealed; he obtained the skill [Fire Monkey Clone], which allowed him to summon a clone of the Monkey King.
His opponent also exposed a [Water Cannon] skill, and as an experienced professional Summoner, it was likely he had another skill in reserve, even with just one Summoned Beast.
This round appeared evenly matched, but in reality, Wu Wei was already at a significant disadvantage.
However, at this moment, neither the spectators in the stands nor the other competitors had time for complaints or excuses.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the arena, their breathing in sync with the intense rhythm of the battle.
Undoubtedly, this fight was the most thrilling and exceptional battle of the University League so far, captivating the audience with its intensity.
The combatants stared at each other, their eyes gleaming with determination.
In the One6One9BookBarReadNoErrorVersion!
At this moment, their sole focus was on defeating their opponent.
The second round of combat commenced swiftly.
Wu Wei, initially at a disadvantage, continued his aggressive strategy in this round.
He was well aware of the vast gap between his and his opponent's skills, strength, and attributes, which were all unfavorable to him.
The only advantage he had was the Monkey King's mobility.
Therefore, he had to maximize this advantage, either through relentless offense or feints, preventing his opponent from striking him, the Summoner.
Wu Wei had a clear tactic in mind.
His opponent also had a strategy, opting for a static approach to counter any move.
The two exchanged blows, each move countered, enthralling the audience for several rounds.
As time passed, the battle's momentum shifted in favor of the Green Turtle.
The Monkey King's stamina gradually waned.
Realizing his impending defeat, Wu Wei had no choice but to summon the Monkey King's clone and join the fray himself, stretching their forces to control the battlefield.
However, Wu Wei's clone possessed only one-fifth of the Monkey King's combat power, and even he barely reached the Leader-level in strength.
Their feeble attempts at control were swiftly countered by the water cannons, and both clones were quickly dispatched. Wu Wei barely managed to stay on the arena, and his efforts were not in vain as he bought the Monkey King enough time to unleash its ultimate move.
Almost simultaneously as Wu Wei was pushed back, the Monkey King leaped high into the air, its staff raised, channeling an overwhelming power.
The opponent's expression changed instantly.
He hastily bolstered his defenses, and in an instant, two layers of water screens and a turtle shell illusion appeared, maximizing his defense.
Just as his defense peaked, the Monkey King's [Heavenward Strike] descended with devastating force!
Despite being only a Leader-level 3-Star in strength, the Monkey King's strike unleashed the power of a Commander-level 3-Star.
In an instant, the two water screens shattered, and the final turtle shell illusion lasted a mere three seconds before collapsing.
The Monkey King's final strike landed.
The burst of power directly knocked the Green Turtle and its Summoner off the arena.
The Monkey King, too, collapsed after its powerful attack.
The audience fell silent, stunned by the intense battle.
No one had recovered from the excitement until the referee announced, "The match is over! The winner is Jiangnan's Wu Wei!"
The arena erupted in deafening applause.
Unlike before, this round of applause was not only for Wu Wei but also for his opponent.
Everyone acknowledged that it was an incredibly intense battle.
With this, the second round of Jiangnan University's matches concluded.
After the second round, all but Su Lan from the Jiangnan University team advanced to the top 128.
However, the Hengheng Monster and Wu Wei would likely not progress further, as their upcoming opponents were increasingly formidable.
Moreover, both had sustained significant damage in the battle, especially Wu Wei's Monkey King, which had exhausted its strength, leaving it with only 30% or less of its combat power for the next few days.
Thus, further advancement was nearly impossible.
Nevertheless, Li Wu was not overly concerned, as their performance had already exceeded expectations.
Their achievements would be sufficient for recruitment, and it was time for Li Wu to take the stage in the upcoming battles.
At the same time, someone else made a similar resolution.
"Next, it's my turn to prepare for the arena!"
He was determined to reclaim what he had lost!
