Chapter 315: The Fool
Chapter 315: The Fool
If someone were to observe Zhao Futu's facial expressions, they would undoubtedly notice the rollercoaster of emotions that played across his face in a matter of moments.
His complexion underwent a heart-wrenching cycle, swiftly transitioning from ecstatic joy to bewildered confusion, and finally, to sheer horror.
The subtlety of his emotional shifts was so convincing that Xing Zhanlong couldn't help but marvel at his acting skills, which surpassed those of Li Wu in every way.
"Be on guard! He's about to make his move!"
Xing Zhanlong believed that this was the moment when Zhao Futu would truly unleash his full potential.
Meanwhile, on the arena stage...
Li Wu, who had been putting on a show for quite some time, was growing impatient. He turned, propping his head up with one hand, and glared at Zhao Futu, who was nervously clutching his staff and sweating profusely.
"I've been calling you out for ages! Are you going to fight or not? If you want to play games, be quick about it and stop stalling!"
Zhao Futu suddenly snapped out of his daze and turned to face Li Wu, his face filled with disbelief. "That's impossible! You're clearly poisoned. I received feedback from it, so you should be poisoned by now..."
"Smack!"
Before Zhao Futu could finish his sentence, Li Wu casually tossed a small object in his direction.
"Your summoned beast is a bit poisoned, but it's not very smart. It's easy to fool it with a small object like this."
Li Wu continued, "To be honest, I came prepared with a lot of stuff because I thought your abilities were more than what you showed three days ago. But it seems like all my preparations were in vain because your skills are even simpler than what you displayed before."
At this point, Li Wu was too lazy to continue the act. He stood up, clenched his fists, and started walking towards Zhao Futu.
"Since you won't fight, it's my turn now."
On Zhao Futu's side, he hadn't fully recovered from the blow he had just received. As soon as he saw Li Wu approaching him, his face turned pale with fear.
"Stay back!"
"Scream all you want, it won't do any good!"
Not only did Li Wu walk towards him with a sinister smile, but his summoned beasts also rose and slowly advanced towards Zhao Futu, one by one.
The scene was reminiscent of a dark alley where thugs surrounded a helpless flower girl. Zhao Futu, the unfortunate flower girl in this scenario, trembled in fear.
He wanted to retreat and create some distance, but he realized there was nowhere left to go. In desperation, he shouted at Li Wu, "I advise you not to come any closer! Don't push me too far!
Or else, it's fish or net!"
As he spoke, Zhao Futu reached into his pocket and pulled out a mysterious object.
The moment he produced the item, Xing Zhanlong, who had been secretly observing from the sidelines, turned pale, and his scalp tingled.
"Damn it! How does he have that thing?"
His eyes locked onto the object in Zhao Futu's hand, fearing that a slight tremor might lead to unthinkable consequences.
On Xing Zhanlong's side, there was no sign of panic, while Li Wu seemed completely unbothered.
He didn't even notice the object in Zhao Futu's hand and continued walking without hesitation.
"Fish or net? That's fine by me. I was worried you wouldn't resist, especially since I've already beaten you once. If you don't fight back this time, I won't enjoy beating you as much.
Come on, let's see you go fish or net!"
Watching Li Wu's defiant expression, both Zhao Futu and Xing Zhanlong's faces darkened.
Zhao Futu, in particular, trembled as he held the object.
His face was a mix of anxiety and anger.
"I'll fight you to the end!"
In a desperate and furious roar, Zhao Futu was about to smash the object onto the ground. Just then, a commanding voice rang out, stopping him in his tracks.
"Stop!"
The sudden shout caught Zhao Futu off guard, and at the same time, another figure appeared on the arena stage.
It was none other than Xing Zhanlong, who had been overseeing the match.
He patted Li Wu's shoulder and said, "You can step down now. I'll take it from here!"
Li Wu was stunned. "Who are you, uncle? This is my match. Why are you here? Referee, can't you do something about this?"
"Cut it out!"
Xing Zhanlong waved his hand, creating a soundproof barrier, and then asked, "Do you know what he has in his hand?"
"What's in his hand?" Li Wu asked, puzzled.
Xing Zhanlong, seeing Li Wu's confused expression, couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"As I thought, you're all brawn and no brains. I wonder how you even became a cultivator. The thing in his hand is called the Plague Heart, the heart of a Plague-type Summoned Beast above the Lord rank. If he breaks it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"What is it?"
Li Wu was immediately confused. Had he misheard, or had the uncle spoken incorrectly?
However, at this moment, Xing Zhanlong was too focused on Zhao Futu to pay him any mind. He turned to Zhao Futu and said, "As expected of you. I've been extremely cautious, but I miscalculated in the end. I never thought you'd have something like this."
(End)
Alright, I admit defeat. Let's discuss the terms!"
Li Wu clearly saw the situation, and Zhao Futu, who was facing him, was stunned for half a second. But soon, his confusion turned into arrogance.
"It seems the tables have turned!
Since we're negotiating, let's start with a small condition. Let this guy kneel and apologize to me..."
"My bad temper!"
Li Wu flew into a rage, rolling up his sleeves ready to fight, but was held back by Xing Zhan Long beside him.
Xing Zhan Long restrained Li Wu while glancing at Zhao Futu across from them.
"A person of your caliber, coming from another zone, and bringing this thing along, just to make things difficult for a little guy like me?
Surely your ambitions aren't that small, are they?"
"I'm afraid my ambitions are exactly that small!"
Zhao Futu's face was filled with madness. "I have one condition. Either he kneels and apologizes to me, or I'll smash it!"
As he spoke, Zhao Futu turned to look at Li Wu.
In a 6-9-1-8-1-0 version, the scene was a mess!
"Kid, you've really pissed me off. If I can't make you kneel and sing 'Surrender' for me today, I, Zhao Futu, will..."
"You're asking for it!"
Before Zhao Futu could finish his sentence, Li Wu exploded into action.
Without any warning, even Xing Zhan Long didn't have time to react, and Li Wu charged straight towards Zhao Futu.
Xing Zhan Long's face paled.
"Don't go, he's not your..."
"Slap!"
Before Xing Zhan Long could finish his sentence, Li Wu directly slapped Zhao Futu, knocking him to the ground, and then proceeded to stomp on his head.
"I gave you face, didn't I?"
"Didn't I give you face?"
...
Fortunately, Li Wu held back his strength; otherwise, Zhao Futu's head might have exploded.
This scene shocked Xing Zhan Long so much that his jaw almost dropped.
There was no reason, no logic to it!
At this point, Zhao Futu had no reason to keep up the act. He should have unleashed his full power. If Zhao Futu went all out, not to mention Li Wu, even Xing Zhan Long might not be able to defeat him. This situation shouldn't have happened.
But Xing Zhan Long felt something was off, and as Li Wu continued to stomp on Zhao Futu, the latter completely lost his mind.
"Fine, fine, if that's the case, let's all go down together!"
In a hysterical state, Zhao Futu was about to crush the Plague Heart in his hand.
Xing Zhan Long's face changed dramatically. "Stop him quickly!"
Li Wu's actions were also extremely swift. Before Xing Zhan Long could finish his shout, Li Wu took action, stomping on the Plague Heart and flattening it with a 'crack' just before Zhao Futu could crush it.
At this moment, both Xing Zhan Long and Zhao Futu were stunned.
Zhao Futu shouted, but he didn't mean to do it, while Xing Zhan Long was scared out of his wits.
He now wished he could slap Li Wu.
Although he didn't, he grabbed Li Wu by the collar.
"Do you know the magnitude of the trouble you've caused? Do you know how many people this action of yours could kill?"
Facing Xing Zhan Long's questioning, Li Wu remained remarkably calm.
"First, I crushed a fake, and nothing will happen.
Second, from your reaction, it seems you've been keeping an eye on this guy for a long time. From your brazen appearance, you're probably from the Alliance, and he's a dangerous person.
You let such a dangerous person participate in the competition, and you didn't even check what he brought. Even if I crushed the real thing, the one at fault for causing trouble wouldn't be me, but you for your negligence.
Third, from your reaction just now, you seem to think he's a big shot, but I need to tell you, the person before you is merely a Master Summoner.
So, without a doubt, your intelligence is flawed. You've been played.
And from the fact that you're willing to take risks to catch a big fish, your intentions towards him aren't as simple as just capturing him.
Likewise, his intentions towards you aren't as simple as just escaping.
In other words, what you should be doing now isn't arguing with me here, but going back and carefully considering where your plan went wrong.
Your real target might be somewhere else! Perhaps, while you're arguing here, they might have already given birth to a child..."
"Boom!"
Almost at the same moment Li Wu finished speaking, an incredibly loud booming sound reverberated.
The terrifying explosion caused the entire Phoenix Nest Training Ground to tremble slightly.
Li Wu spread his hands. "Look!"
Xing Zhan Long, who had been left speechless by Li Wu, paled, and his figure flashed as he soared into the sky.
From a high vantage point, Xing Zhan Long clearly saw that the explosion had occurred at their Summoner Center headquarters, which meant that while he was here, his lair had been destroyed.
Xing Zhan Long couldn't stay put any longer and flew towards his home base.
Down below, Li Wu shook his head at this scene. "Muscle-headed fool!"
