...

Li Wu was grilling meat while observing Guotown Tian's two additional Summoned Beasts, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

Monkey, Pig, Horse... This guy has almost gathered the entire Journey to the West Team. Only Sha Monk is missing.

What's the deal? Does completing the Journey to the West Team provide some kind of synergy effect? Li Wu didn't understand, but he casually divided the freshly grilled meat into four portions.

He threw one piece to Tuantuan, stuffed another into the Lolita Dragon's mouth, and fed another to Pang Dudu.

With the last piece, Li Wu ate it himself, his mouth greasy from the oil.

Pang Dudu, ever considerate, handed him a napkin to wipe his mouth.

Hmm, these two are still showing off their lovey-dovey act while eating, showing no signs of urgency.

Guotown Tian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and without further ado, he took action.

"Go!"

At his command, his two additional Summoned Beasts rushed towards the Little Dragon.

This Pig and Horse were no ordinary creatures.

Not only was their quality exceptional, but their combat prowess was also extraordinary.

The Pig immediately used its Hundredfold Gravity skill, while the Horse executed a Sky Horse Flying Kick.

Both skills were advanced techniques.

Before the Little Dragon could react, it felt its body become incredibly heavy, and the kick from the Sky Horse sent it flying.

"Now!"

As the two minions struck, Guotown Tian launched his offense.

Taking advantage of the Little Dragon being knocked away, Guotown Tian himself attacked.

In the University League, Summoners' direct attacks are usually desperate measures.

But that applies to Professional Summoners and those with a single Summoned Beast.

Guotown Tian didn't fall into that category.

He was not only a Master Summoner but also had three Summoned Beasts and at least seven skills at his disposal.

In terms of combat power, even if he hadn't reached the Lord Rank, he was undoubtedly close.

With such combat prowess, he couldn't be taken lightly.

In an instant, Guotown Tian covered the distance of over a hundred meters and entered the Little Skeleton's defense circle.

He stomped his foot, and the Hundredfold Gravity inherited from the Pig instantly erupted, and three Little Skeletons blocking his path were knocked aside by a Brutal Impact.

Li Wu, now exposed, came into Guotown Tian's line of sight.

Looking at Li Wu, who was right in front of him with an expression of shock and terror, Guotown Tian smirked.

"I said I'd teach you a terrible lesson!"

As he spoke, Guotown Tian produced a stick from somewhere and raised it high, ready to strike Li Wu, who was already scared stiff.

A golden tail lashed out, and 'Puff!' Guotown Tian was sent flying by the Little Dragon.

Seeing Guotown Tian knocked away, Li Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the Little Dragon returned just in time. Otherwise, that strike from Guotown Tian would have ended the match.

Li Wu had just started eating, and he didn't want to change locations so soon.

With that in mind, Li Wu quickly called out to the Little Skeletons.

"You guys have to try harder! Hold out for as long as possible!"

On the other side.

Guotown Tian, having been knocked away by the Little Dragon's tail, furrowed his brows slightly, his face showing a hint of regret.

He had almost captured Li Wu just now.

But it didn't matter; he had already gauged Li Wu's strength.

Moving forward, he was confident he could take Li Wu down.

"I'll start by taking out his outer Summoned Beasts one by one. I don't believe he can remain calm after that."

With determination, Guotown Tian charged towards the Little Dragon, accompanied by his Pig and Monkey, intending to take down the Little Dragon first!"

As Guotown Tian pounced, the Little Dragon let out a dragon's roar.

Simultaneously, an invisible force surged forth.

This force wasn't particularly strong, only providing a slight push to Guotown Tian and his team.

But to their astonishment, they noticed subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

"A domain?"

Guotown Tian immediately thought of this term, startling himself.

It turned out that Ancient Town Sky's ability wasn't a domain, but rather a unique talent that replicated the characteristics of the deep sea, affecting the surrounding environment.

Guotown Tian heaved a small sigh of relief, but only halfway, as the other half of his breath was interrupted by the activation of the Little Dragon's talent, Ocean's Child. The little guy's aura surged, instantly breaking through the Lord One-Star level and reaching the brink of Lord Two-Star.

"Roar!"

In that instant, the Little Dragon opened its mouth and roared, unleashing a terrifying force.

Guotown Tian's expression changed again as he quickly issued commands.

"Pig, activate Earth Defense! Horse, Sky Horse Meteor!"

With Guotown Tian's command, the pig immediately activated its talent and unleashed its ultimate skill, Earth Defense, withstanding the Little Dragon's half-baked Dragon Roar.

The horse, without hesitation, unleashed its incredible speed and charged forward.

However, the horse's charge wasn't directed at the Little Dragon.

Guotown Tian realized that attacking the Little Dragon in this unique environment would be pointless, as its power was significantly amplified. He was foolish to engage in a direct fight here.

The horse's Sky Horse Meteor targeted Li Wu instead.

The Little Dragon had no choice but to turn and pursue the horse, giving Guotown Tian the opportunity to lead the pig out of the Ocean's Power range and rush towards the battlefield where the Little Skeleton and Dullahan were fighting.

Clearly, Guotown Tian had identified the Little Dragon's weakness and was now seeking an easier target.

"Horse, keep the Little Dragon occupied! Let's take down the Little Skeleton and this bird first!"

As he spoke, Guotown Tian charged towards the Little Skeleton's back, raising his staff high and assuming the starting pose for Skyward Strike.

At the same time, Guotown Tian's two summoned beasts worked in perfect harmony.

The Earth Pig King unleashed its Hundredfold Gravity again, its power affecting both the Little Skeleton and Dullahan.

Simultaneously, the Mountain Monkey's staff danced wildly, unleashing its full power to keep the Little Skeleton and Dullahan restrained.

"Skyward Strike!"

Seizing the opportunity, Guotown Tian struck with all his might, swinging his staff ferociously towards the Little Skeleton.

If this strike landed, the Little Skeleton's bones would likely shatter on the spot, and its skull might even crack.

In this critical moment, Li Wu's Little Skeleton acted swiftly, grabbing Dullahan and using it to block the staff.

"Pfft!"

Dullahan took another hit from Skyward Strike, and its Thorn Shield activated again, knocking Guotown Tian back.

However, Dullahan and the Little Skeleton were also suffering. Dullahan spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Little Skeleton was frozen by Dullahan's Ice Body passive, with half of its body buried underground by Guotown Tian's staff.

The Mountain Monkey seized the opportunity, its staff igniting with golden flames as it swung towards the Little Skeleton.

In a flash, the situation had changed.

At this critical juncture, the Little Skeleton activated its Skeleton Leader talent, its strength surging as the ice shattered instantly.

Immediately after, the Little Skeleton unleashed the Dragon Bone Power it had obtained but rarely used.

"Roar!"

A faint yet powerful roar echoed, and a phantom Dragon Bone appeared behind the Little Skeleton, causing its aura to surge once more. With a casual wave of its bone hand, it easily blocked the Mountain Monkey's staff with its silver lance, which shimmered with electrical sparks.

Simultaneously, the Little Skeleton swung Dullahan like a weapon, sending the charging Earth Pig flying.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, Guotown Tian's seemingly foolproof ambush was shattered by the Little Skeleton's powerful counterattack.

Guotown Tian's face paled.

This was something he had never anticipated.

The Dragon's terror was one thing, as its race was notoriously unreasonable and its summoned beasts were incredibly powerful.

But even the Little Skeleton, a seemingly weak summoned beast, was now terrifying.

Based on the Little Skeleton's current display of strength, taking it down might not be much easier than dealing with the Little Dragon.

This gave Guotown Tian a clear understanding of the situation.

"The opponent's bird has clearly lost its fighting ability, and the remaining two summoned beasts are not much weaker than the monkey.

There are two ways to defeat them.

One is to overpower them, and the other is to stall for time.

These two summoned beasts have obviously relied on their talents and skills to boost their strength, and there's likely a time limit that isn't too long. As long as we can hold out, victory will be within reach."

After assessing the situation, Guotown Tian quickly adjusted his tactics.

The once aggressive Little Skull has now transformed into a stalling and entanglement battle, no longer attacking Little Skull and Little Dragon, but instead focusing on the dullahan, who has become a shield for Little Skull.

There's no intention of protecting the dullahan, and any danger is directly dealt with by using the dullahan as a weapon.

The dullahan, though, is acting strangely. Despite being beaten to the brink of defeat, it seems to enjoy and get excited by the beating, giving off a rather perverted vibe.

However, even with this, Guotown Tian has no intention of stopping.

He must take this dullahan away first, as its abilities alone are quite troublesome.

So, Guotown Tian shifts his focus to attacking the dullahan.

But as he does, he realizes something is amiss. The more he attacks, the more a powerful force seems to be awakening within the dullahan, which is no longer even bird-like.

Guotown Tian, having experienced this before, immediately recognizes that the dullahan is about to advance.

This is partly thanks to Yuan Qingqing, who, in her so-called experiments, fed the dullahan a significant amount of nutrients.

Many of these nutrients are still within the dullahan's body, undigested, and this round of relentless attacks has directly activated these powers, causing the dullahan to naturally begin its advancement towards the Lord level.

Guotown Tian, who had not anticipated this and couldn't understand why such a thing was happening, paled at the realization.

After enduring such a beating without dying, and now advancing, was this dullahan a bit perverted?

Guotown Tian now faced a difficult choice: to continue attacking or not? Attacking might accelerate its advancement, but stopping would also allow it to advance soon enough.

If he continued, he would have to face the burst skills of Little Skull and Little Dragon, and if the dullahan advanced while he was still attacking, his efforts would be in vain.

In this situation, Guotown Tian was torn, but he finally made a decision.

"We can't keep going like this. Let's tie up Little Skull and Little Dragon, and Monkey will break through to take down Li Wu!"

With no other choice, Guotown Tian changed his strategy, deciding to employ a decapitation tactic.

He charged towards Little Skull, his stick raised high, preparing to deliver a Skyward Strike. But instead, he unleashed a series of rapid strikes, entangling and restraining Little Skull.

Mountain Monkey seized the opportunity, drawing out a fur and blowing it, creating countless clones that scattered.

Little Skull instantly lost sight of Mountain Monkey.

Little Dragon, noticing the situation, sent several stronger Mountain Monkey clones towards Li Wu, while it broke free from the horse's entanglement and pounced, taking down the clones from both long and close range.

Just as the clones were defeated, the main body of Mountain Monkey burst through, striking Little Dragon with a blow that sent it flying, and then charged towards Li Wu.

Little Skull's subordinates tried to block, but they couldn't stop Mountain Monkey, who instantly broke through the defense circle and swung at Li Wu with a powerful strike.

"We got it!" Guotown Tian exclaimed, a smile of hard-earned victory on his face.

But as soon as the smile appeared, it froze.

Li Wu's harmless-looking little lolita companion suddenly transformed into a ferocious bone dragon, leaping into the air and lashing out with her tail, instantly knocking Mountain Monkey out of the arena and easily defeating it.

After the battle, the bone dragon reverted to its lolita form, continuing to watch Li Wu's barbecue with eager eyes.

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

So, it turned out that Li Wu had such a powerful weapon by his side.

Guotown Tian, stunned, halted his attacks.

Li Wu, seeing the situation, was a bit displeased.

"Why did you stop? I've only just started cooking my meat.

Keep fighting!

Old Gu, give it your all! I believe in you, and I know you'll become the future's strongest summoner!

I almost got knocked away by your monkey just now!"

As Li Wu spoke, he shared his barbecued meat.

And almost simultaneously, on Guotown Tian's side, the dullahan, beaten to the brink of death, erupted with a terrifying aura.

With his already dwindling fighting spirit, Guotown Tian completely shut down.

There was no point in continuing.
