Chapter 301: The Terror of It All

Chapter 301: The Terror of It All

Phoenix Nest Training Ground!

As Guotown Sky casually tossed out that line, the entire arena's atmosphere ignited, just as it had when Li Wu had faced him before.

Many of Ancient Town Sky's fans had their eyes well up at that moment.

It must be said that Sky still had a certain charm.

Despite his defeat in the Breeder Championship and being shut down by Li Wu, there were still many of his fans eagerly awaiting his return.

And it seemed that moment had arrived.

Li Wu, on the other hand, was left dumbfounded.

He never could have imagined that such an uninteresting and dull competition would suddenly present so many unexpected twists and turns.

He couldn't help but wonder, was Sky's head made of iron? Or did he, Li Wu, give off such a weak and easy-to-bully vibe?

Feeling wronged, Li Wu took a big gulp of the milk tea Dudu handed him, soothing his ruffled feathers.

Meanwhile, the organizers began their preparations.

All the necessary announcements had been made, and it was time to commence the competition.

Thoughtfully, the organizers stepped forward to explain the new rules for the Top 32 Competition.

The rules were simple: 32 competitors, plus 4 exchange students, would draw lots to determine the order.

Then, according to the order, they would challenge Guotown Sky.

Defeating Sky would grant direct advancement, and the winner would then compete for the championship against others who had also defeated Sky.

The remaining competitors could proceed to the ranking matches.

If no one could defeat Sky, he would then select 16 of them to advance to the Top 16.

The format was essentially identical to that of the Breeder Championship.

"The rules for the Top 32 Competition are as follows, and we'll now proceed to the draw.

Everyone, please look at the big screen; the challenge order will be randomly generated!"

As the staff member finished speaking, the large screen on stage displayed the challenge order for Guotown Sky.

Li Wu took a glance.

His name was listed in 9th place, right before Dudu in 10th.

As soon as the order was revealed, some spectators expressed discomfort.

Many felt Li Wu was placed too early and should have been last, creating a sense of destiny for the final battle.

Several of Sky's fans demanded that the organizers manipulate the draw.

The organizers had never encountered such a scene before.

However, not all voices in the arena agreed; there were other opinions.

"I think the 9th position is fine. If he were placed last and couldn't make it to the end, that would be embarrassing."

"I thought Sky was the Sky from back then? Even the 9th position might be a stretch for him to reach!"

"It's understandable, though, as there are quite a few strong competitors ahead.

The team leaders from Capital University, Liu Qiuyu, and Shanghai University, Fang Han, are here, along with someone from Zone 2. Sky will have a tough time getting past these three."

...

Evidently, the audience didn't hold high hopes for Sky's return.

This was quite normal, as he was considered a fallen genius.

After all, the Qi Transformation Horse user had their Fallen Marriage annulled, and Sky, who had been overwhelmed to the point of shutting down, was naturally not expected to make a successful comeback.

The organizers and Sky himself had anticipated this reaction.

So, in response to the doubts, Sky smiled faintly amidst the questioning voices.

"I'll take on ten of them!"

What was this?

Sky's casual statement silenced the entire arena.

He then calmly repeated his words and explained.

"I'll take on ten, or rather, I can accept the challenges of ten competitors at once!"

Yes, he did repeat himself.

He had explained, but the arena remained silent.

Many thought Sky had gone mad.

He was facing the Top 32 of this University League.

The 32 individuals standing before him were the finest among hundreds of thousands of students from 66 universities in Zone 1. Yet, he wanted to challenge and fight ten of them at once.

This didn't make Sky seem extraordinary or awe-inspiring; it only made his act seem awkward.

Even the Ministry of Education staff stepped in to smooth things over.

"What Referee Gu means is that he can accept the challenges of ten competitors in one day..."

"No, what I mean is that I can accept the challenges of ten competitors simultaneously!"

Sky calmly corrected the Ministry of Education staff member.

He had kicked away the ladder himself.

At this, the staff could only respond.

"Referee Gu is the referee for this match, and you are fully responsible for it.

"I'm done dealing with this."

'Fine, do as you please. You're the one who'll get beaten, not me!'

The staff had nothing to say, and Gu Zhantian turned his attention to the audience of the Top 32 contenders.

"Please, those in the top ten of the challenge order, step forward."

No one responded.

This was understandable; those who had made it this far were all top-tier competitors, and none of them wanted to be seen as easy targets. They wouldn't allow Gu Zhantian to fight ten opponents just because he asked.

Fighting ten against one would be embarrassing if they won and humiliating if they lost.

So, no one paid him any mind.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

However, Gu Zhantian didn't feel particularly embarrassed. With a casual wave of his hand, he summoned one of his Summoned Beasts from within his body.

A monkey with golden fur, holding a golden staff, and wearing golden armor appeared.

The monkey lightly tapped its staff on the ground, and a terrifying aura surged forth.

"A Lord-rank!"

Everyone present had keen eyes.

The monkey's sudden display of power allowed the contenders, staff, and many spectators to witness its strength.

Li Wu, in particular, observed this with intense focus.

...

Description: A reinforced version of Wu Wei's monkey, akin to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

...

Li Wu's face paled as he read the description.

This shameless guy had the audacity to copy!

Their team's Wu Wei already had a low presence, and now Gu Zhantian had copied his monkey, leaving Wu Wei in a difficult position.

Many noticed Li Wu's brief change in expression.

Among them was Gu Zhantian.

The Top 32 contenders also took note, as Li Wu was a renowned breeding genius known for his ability to discern the strengths and weaknesses of Summoned Beasts.

So, when Gu Zhantian's monkey appeared, everyone turned to Li Wu.

Based on Li Wu's reaction, many assessed the strength of the copied monkey, causing some of the top ten challengers to feel anxious.

At this moment, Gu Zhantian repeated his earlier words.

"The top ten in the challenge order can come up and challenge me."

No one felt that Gu Zhantian's showboating was awkward anymore.

Everyone realized that he truly had the skills to back up his words, and they all turned their attention to Li Wu.

"You guys fight your battles, why are you looking at me? It's not my turn yet!"

Li Wu had no intention of stepping up, and neither did the team leaders from the Capital and Metropolis Universities nor the individual from Zone 2.

Five of the top ten didn't take the challenge, and after some hesitation, the remaining five gritted their teeth and went up together.

It was a One6One9BookBarReadWithoutErrorVersion!

It was a bit embarrassing, but what could they do when they lacked the confidence to face Gu Zhantian alone?

Gu Zhantian looked at the five before him with indifference. "Just the five of you?"

"The five of us are enough!"

With more people, their courage grew.

After all, each of the Top 32 contenders was an elite in their own right, and their Summoned Beasts were all Silver Quality, with power equivalent to a 3-Star Leader.

Defeating a Lord-rank Summoned Beast alone might be challenging, but they believed they had a good chance with five against one.

"You've made a foolish choice! I hope you won't regret it!"

Gu Zhantian shook his head indifferently.

"Begin the challenge!"

As Gu Zhantian's calm voice rang out, the five challengers launched their attacks simultaneously.

"Rapid Ice Bind!" "Destruction Beam!" "Tree Arrival!"

"Divine Shock Roar!" "Infinite Terror!"

In that instant, a grove of trees appeared out of thin air, trapping Gu Zhantian and his monkey within, while a deafening roar and negative spell emerged simultaneously.

A cold aura then spread, freezing the entire grove.

Finally, a terrifying beam of light pierced through the entire forest.

The moment this set of attacks landed, even the most die-hard fans of Ancient Town Sky clenched their fists, their tension palpable.

Meanwhile, those who had been mocking Ancient Town Sky began to shake their heads in unison.

"It's over!

These five ultimate skills, with both hard and soft control, and that terrifying final attack... Even a Lord-rank Summoned Beast couldn't withstand this. Ancient Town Sky is definitely going down, and he might even get severely injured."

"Serves him right! Who asked him to show off?

If he had fought them one by one, this wouldn't have happened. But fighting ten at once... Oh, what's going on?!"

Before the mockers on the stage could finish their taunts, a loud noise erupted from the frozen forest.

Then, an unforgettable scene unfolded.

A staff extended infinitely, then with a fierce sweep, it knocked away the forest, the ice, and even the five contestants on the stage.

Withstanding five ultimate skills, he swept away five of the Top 32 with a single strike.

This scene left the audience breathless.

Ancient Town Sky's strength was truly terrifying.

After defeating his five opponents, Ancient Town Sky's expression remained unchanged as he nonchalantly addressed the audience, "Next batch!"

At that moment, both his die-hard fans and the previously neutral spectators were ignited by his words.

He's back! The Ancient Town Sky who once looked down on the world had returned.

Even the haters began to doubt their own skepticism.

Was Ancient Town Sky about to make a powerful comeback, a true return of the king?

Soon enough, the haters fell silent as they witnessed the next batch of contestants step onto the arena.

After Ancient Town Sky's sweep, Liu Qiuyu from Capital University and Fang Han from Shanghai University exchanged glances and stepped onto the stage.

At the same time, the foreigner from Zone 2 hesitated before joining them.

"I didn't want to gang up on you, but your previous battle made me realize that my idea of ganging up was just my arrogance.

So, please give me your best!" Liu Qiuyu said, touching his nose.

Fang Han nodded, "Brother Gu, you truly live up to your name. Please go easy on us."

The foreigner from Zone 2, unable to speak the language of Zone 1, simply stared at Ancient Town Sky.

It was clear that everyone was eagerly anticipating this battle with Ancient Town Sky.

At this moment, Ancient Town Sky turned his gaze towards Li Wu.

"Aren't you going to challenge them together?"

"Me?"

Li Wu, who had been pondering over lunch options, froze for a moment before shaking his head, "You take them on first."

As Li Wu continued discussing lunch with Dudu, Ancient Town Sky, ignored on the stage, could only shift his gaze back to the three contestants before him.

"My apologies, but it seems I'll have to send you off the stage quickly!"

Hearing this, the three contestants became furious.

Send them off the stage quickly? Who did he think they were? Were they like the previous five weaklings? They were all elites among elites! They had experience with Lord-rank Summoned Beasts; they weren't afraid of just Ancient Town Sky.

"If you can do it, then go ahead and try!"

As Liu Qiuyu spoke, the three contestants summoned their beasts and focused intently on the battle.

The entire audience held their breath, fixated on the arena.

Soon, the second round of challenges commenced.

The rhythm of the battle remained consistent.

At the start, the challengers took the initiative.

Both Liu Qiuyu and Fang Han were formidable opponents.

Their Summoned Beasts were almost on par with Lord-rank, and the foreigner's robot Summoned Beast was an unprecedented sight.

Liu Qiuyu and Fang Han attacked from both sides, while the robot beast drew an inactive firearm and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the counterfeit monkey.

Despite being only three, their aura was more intense and ferocious than the previous group of five.

However, facing this onslaught, Ancient Town Sky remained unmoved.

"My apologies!"

With Ancient Town Sky's casual words, the Monkey King beside him unleashed its Heavenward Strike.

In a single blow, the three contestants before him were knocked away.

After effortlessly dispatching these contestants, Ancient Town Sky turned his attention back to Li Wu.

"It's your turn next!"
