Chapter 307: The Four-Winged Angel
Chapter 307: The Four-Winged Angel
The University League's Top 32 Championship was about to witness an unexpected turn of events.
Just as everyone thought Gu Town Tian would secure his victory after dominating 23 contestants with his sudden surge in strength, he suddenly knelt down.
It was a completely unforeseen move.
Before anyone could react, an outsider from Zone 8, Zhao Futu, effortlessly stepped on him.
This scene baffled and infuriated the audience. Zhao Futu's arrogance knew no bounds.
A simple defeat should suffice, but to step on someone's head was beyond bullying.
As if that wasn't enough, his words added salt to the wound.
"Mr. Referee, is this considered a successful challenge?" Zhao Futu asked, his eyes fixed on Gu Town Tian beneath his feet.
Simultaneously, Gu Town Tian's three summoned beasts suddenly collapsed, their auras fading.
Undoubtedly, Gu Town Tian had lost again, this time in a bewildering manner.
He still couldn't comprehend how he had been defeated.
Powerless, he seethed with anger at Zhao Futu, who stood triumphantly above him.
With gritted teeth, he forced himself to respond, "You... passed!"
As Gu Town Tian conceded, Zhao Futu scanned the arena, a smirk on his face. "What was that? Speak up, I didn't hear you!"
His words ignited fury among the spectators, who wished they could tear Zhao Futu apart.
Helpless, they could only watch as Gu Town Tian, seething with anger and frustration, repeated his words.
Zhao Futu smirked, took a step back, and leaned down to address Gu Town Tian. "So, this is how you pass? I thought you'd put up a bit of a struggle. Alas, you lack perseverance. If only you had endured a little longer, the poison on your bodies would have been neutralized!"
As if on cue, Gu Town Tian and his summoned beasts regained their vitality.
Energized, Gu Town Tian's Pig, Horse, and Monkey rushed forward, determined to tear Zhao Futu apart for humiliating their master.
However, Zhao Futu remained unmoved, not even attempting to defend himself. Instead, he wore a mocking expression.
"Mr. Referee, surely you wouldn't allow such arrogance. To flaunt one's abilities and then, after losing, take revenge on the opponent?"
Gu Town Tian's face paled at these words, and he immediately called off his summoned beasts.
"That's better. Accept defeat gracefully, and stand tall even in defeat. It's not your fault you lack the skills to back up your bravado.
I'll take my leave now. There are two more, so have fun."
Zhao Futu clapped his hands, turned, and strode towards the stage. Just as he was about to descend, he paused, turned back, and said to Gu Town Tian, "Oh, and prepare yourself mentally. You might end up crying later!"
With that, he left the stage, leaving it to Gu Town Tian and the other two outsiders.
"Please!"
Almost simultaneously, the Three Saints Engels stepped forward.
Unlike Zhao Futu, who seemed to be of Chinese descent, Engels' Zone 1 language was less fluent, so he kept his words simple, speaking only one word.
At the same time, he summoned his beast.
A humanoid creature with four wings emerged.
When Li Wu saw it, his mouth dropped in astonishment. "Pang Du, come and see the angel!"
As he exclaimed, Li Wu noticed the angel's attributes.
...
Name: Four-Winged Angel
Strength: 2-Star (Lord)
Quality: Royal (Enhanced)
Attribute: Light
Status: Aversion (Strong evil presence detected)
Weakness: Dark (Moderate)
Talent Skills: N/A
...
Upon seeing the angel's attributes, Li Wu had a sinking feeling that Gu Tian was about to face another defeat.
Indeed, Li Wu's intuition was correct. Gu Town Tian's demeanor seemed off.
Initially, his breakthrough in strength had made him fully embrace Gu Tian's unorthodox teachings. His confidence had returned, and he even believed he surpassed Li Wu in summoning skills, exuding an air of superiority.
However, Zhao Futu's mysterious tactics had swiftly brought him down.
For Gu Tian, this was a blow.
However, anyone with a clear eye could see that Zhao Futu had defeated him entirely due to using underhanded tactics.
So, apart from the blow, Gu Tian felt more anger than anything else, and he didn't believe he was inferior to Zhao Futu.
Now, when Saint Engels from Zone 3 summoned his angel, Gu Tian suddenly felt nervous.
His emotions began to waver, and he started to worry that he might lose to Engels.
Therefore, once the angel appeared on the opponent's side, Gu Tian took the initiative to launch an attack.
His three summoned beasts launched a frenzied assault, and he himself joined the battle.
His intention was to take down his opponent as quickly and forcefully as possible, to prove to the audience, his father, and Li Wu that he, Gu Tian, was the strongest.
In battle, there are two things to avoid:
One is revealing all your trump cards to the enemy.
The second is launching a reckless offensive without fully understanding the opponent's capabilities.
Gu Tian, with his unstable mindset, ended up doing both.
In this situation, the outcome of his battle was almost predictable.
Gu Tian launched a fierce attack for three minutes but failed to break through the opponent's defenses.
The opponent made Gu Tian feel as if he were facing a mountain, immovable and insurmountable.
This sense of helplessness further fueled Gu Tian's fragile heart.
Gu Tian's father, Gu Tian, had already noticed his son's mental state, but he was powerless to help.
He had tried, but there was no way to pull him back.
In the end, he could only watch as Gu Tian was gradually overwhelmed by the opponent.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Tian suffered his second defeat of the day.
And it was a fair and square defeat in the face of the opponent.
This defeat was even more devastating to Gu Tian than the previous one.
At this point, Gu Tian was beginning to question his life and was starting to revert to the state he was in after being defeated by Li Wu yesterday.
And this was far from over.
There was still one contestant left on the stage, and it was Makoto Maizou from Zone 11.
"Come!"
Gu Tian, staring at the remaining Makoto Maizou with bloodshot eyes, seemed on the verge of a breakdown.
His opponent clearly noticed this.
"Are you sure you want to fight me now? I can give you time to adjust your state!"
Makoto Maizou was being considerate, but the current state of Gu Tian wouldn't accept it.
"I don't need it. Even now, I can still defeat you!"
When Gu Tian said this, almost everyone present knew that he was about to lose again.
Sure enough, after receiving this answer, Makoto Maizou said nothing more, calmly making a gesture of respect, "Please teach me!"
In the next instant, Makoto Maizou disappeared from her spot and reappeared at the other corner of the stage.
Gu Tian and his three summoned beasts, who were already on the brink of exhaustion from the battle with Saint Engels, all collapsed, achieving the third consecutive defeat of the day.
At this moment, Gu Tian felt a sense of relief.
He fainted directly.
Thus, the three consecutive defeats were temporarily not his concern.
But while he could faint, the audience couldn't.
With Gu Tian's fainting and the completion of the three consecutive defeats, the atmosphere in the Tide Wave Training Ground became extremely oppressive.
No one had expected that what was supposed to be a joyful match would end like this.
Gu Tian, who had broken through at the last minute and was in his best condition, actually suffered three consecutive defeats, all to contestants from the Outer Zones.
Adding to this, Zhao Futu's behavior made the audience feel that Gu Tian had utterly disgraced Zone 1.
The applause that was once for Gu Tian turned into cold stares.
Amidst these endless cold stares, Gu Tian remained silent, went up on stage, and carried his son, collected the pig and the horse, and left the stage after nodding to Li Wu, who had left the monkey behind.
Gu Tian's actions drew the audience's attention to Li Wu.
That's right, although Gu Tian had lost, there was still Li Wu.
Li Wu would certainly defeat these three contestants from the Outer Zones and uphold the dignity of Zone 1.
As the audience turned their attention to Li Wu, Zhao Futu, who had just trampled on Gu Tian's head, walked over to him.
"The two top talents of Zone 1's young generation, I've already tested Gu Tian, and he was unbearable to look at!
As for you, I will test you next. I hope you can give me a performance that will make me see something new. Don't disappoint me too much.
Even if you can't defeat me, at least try to hold on longer and show some backbone. Don't kneel in front of me like the last one; it will be very difficult for me!"
