Chapter 324: Tuan Tuan's Advancement
Chapter 324: Tuan Tuan's Advancement
Chang Ping Mystic Realm, the Bone Burial Ground.
Li Wu arrived here for the ninth time.
This time, he wasn't alone with his Summoned Beast.
In addition to his own Summoned Beast, he had also brought Tuan Tuan from Dudu's family and Xiong Da from Li Kai's family.
With these two, plus Li Wu's seven Lord Level Summoned Beasts and himself, the combat team numbered ten, breaking double digits for the first time.
Looking at the massive team behind him, Li Wu couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence.
Standing outside the Malevolent Mist of the Bone Burial Ground, Li Wu shouted, "Old Bone, come out and fight!"
Li Wu had been fighting with them for a week.
Both sides had developed a tacit understanding.
As soon as Li Wu arrived with his team, he yelled at the top of his lungs, and the Malevolent Mist within the Bone Burial Ground began to boil with Blood Aura.
A disciplined march of footsteps echoed.
The Malevolent Mist gradually receded, revealing the formation of the Undead Legion.
Li Wu's side, despite having more numbers and a more formidable aura, was clearly a level below the Undead Legion in terms of discipline and unity.
Compared to the well-ordered and unified Undead Legion, Li Wu's side was a ragtag bunch.
Yet, Li Wu's side felt confident.
"What do you think? I've got plenty of helpers today, and our strength is more than double what it usually is. This time, it might be you who flees in disarray," Li Wu boasted.
The Skeleton General, unable to speak, still responded to Li Wu.
He calmly raised the longsword in his hand, the meaning clear.
Come and get it!
"We're definitely going to fight, but before we do, let me remind you that I'm not here to kill. I'm here to negotiate with you.
The same terms as before.
If I win, you have to let me examine your body.
And you'll also have to give me some subordinates."
This was Li Wu's consistent demand over the past week.
For Li Wu, harassing the Skeleton General was solely to help Little Skull with his Third Evolution and to gain some subordinates.
He wasn't here to annihilate them.
So, before each battle, Li Wu would always make this request.
Initially, the Skeleton General had ignored him with a dismissive wave, but now, well, they still didn't deign to respond.
Of course, Li Wu didn't expect a response.
After speaking, he waved his hand.
"Charge!"
At Li Wu's command, the foolishly excited Tuan Tuan rushed into Li Wu's body.
As Tuan Tuan entered, Li Wu immediately activated Beast Soul Burst and Dragon Bone Power.
A week later, Li Wu's burst of power had significantly increased, reaching a level close to the Royal Rank.
After the burst, Li Wu charged straight towards the Skeleton General.
The battle between the two had been going on for days.
The Skeleton General's troops showed no resistance, allowing Li Wu to advance towards their leader.
They each sought out their familiar opponents.
"Take this!"
In a flash of electric light, Li Wu reached the Skeleton General, raising his long staff and delivering a powerful Heavenward Strike.
The Skeleton General didn't retreat but advanced, taking a step forward to intercept Li Wu's attack, stabbing towards his throat.
Li Wu smirked, as if he had anticipated this move. The staff, originally in the wind-up, suddenly smashed down, catching the Skeleton General off guard, forcing him to parry and retreat.
"The opportunity is here!
Let's try out my newly researched Heavenward Strike Revised - Chain of Eighteen Strikes!"
Seizing the chance, Li Wu unleashed a flurry of strikes with his staff, each one precisely timed.
This combination of techniques was developed by Li Wu over the past half a month, combining his mastery of seventeen staff techniques and battle experience.
Each strike he landed was perfectly timed.
The Skeleton General, having lost the initiative to Li Wu, struggled to keep up with Li Wu's rhythm.
Li Wu's relentless strikes forced the Skeleton General to retreat.
And each strike was more powerful than the last.
For a moment, the Skeleton General was like a small boat in a stormy sea, helpless against Li Wu's continuous attacks.
After enduring the eighteen strikes, the Skeleton General had no time to catch his breath.
"Eighteen in One!"
After the eighteenth strike, Li Wu unleashed a terrifying blow, even more powerful than the previous eighteen, catching the Skeleton General off guard and sending him flying.
"How's that? This technique is specifically designed to counter your swordplay. Not bad, huh?"
Li Wu took advantage of the Skeleton General's weakness while boasting.
As Li Wu lunged forward.
A surge of killing intent erupted, and a blood-red sword energy slashed towards him.
"Shatter!"
Li Wu raised his staff and struck, shattering the blood-red sword energy. Simultaneously, the Skeleton General pounced, his longsword dancing with the power of Battlefield Sword Technique.
The Grandmaster-level Battlefield Sword Technique imbued the wide-ranging swordplay with exquisite finesse.
Three swift strikes reversed the advantage Li Wu had held.
"That same sword technique again?"
Li Wu smirked, "Old Bone, I've mastered this technique. Change it up!"
As he spoke, the rhythm of his staff changed.
The once fierce staff technique had transformed into a fluid and supple movement, like seawater, and this change perfectly countered the opponent's Battlefield Sword Technique.
This caught the Bone General off guard.
Sensing the General's surprise, Li Wu smiled and offered an explanation. "We've clashed seven times this week, and I've pretty much figured out your sword technique and your habits. With this intelligence, it wasn't difficult to develop a targeted strategy."
Upon hearing this, the Bone General's eyes flashed with determination, and he switched from his Stationary Sword Technique to the advanced Carnage Sword Technique.
Not only did this intensify the General's offense, but Li Wu also felt an endless wave of murderous intent surging towards his head.
In the 16th chapter of the 19th book, a mistake-free version!
Li Wu was already in the Beast Soul Burst stage, and his mind was constantly tormented.
Under such circumstances, the Carnage Sword Technique's accompanying murderous intent had an excellent effect on Li Wu.
Influenced by this killing intent, Li Wu's reaction speed decreased, and the advantage he had built up was once again overturned by his opponent.
Once again, Li Wu found himself on the receiving end of a beating.
As Li Wu struggled, the situation on his side was not looking good either.
Although the Bone General hadn't deployed any Lord-level creatures, the twelve Lord-level Skeleton Lords were still formidable.
Each of them possessed the strength of a 3-Star Lord.
On Li Wu's side, apart from the three recently recruited subordinates, there were almost no 3-Star Lord-level creatures, and among them was even a 3-Star Chief-level Tuan Tuan.
This little guy was kicked far away as soon as he entered the fray.
The lazy Tuan Tuan, after being kicked, quickly rolled over and played dead, pretending to be unable to fight.
With Tuan Tuan avoiding battle, Li Wu's power was now divided.
This meant that Little Skull and his team had to face twelve summoned beasts with only seven of their own.
Little Skull's three new subordinates, along with Li Kai's recently advanced Storm Giant Bear, could barely hold off three Skeleton Lords.
This meant that Little Skull's side needed to defeat nine opponents.
The Bone Dragon unleashed its Dragon Power, boosting its strength from a 2-Star Lord (which had increased by one star after joining) to the peak of 3-Stars. With a swing of its tail, it blocked four Skeleton Lords.
With the Bone Dragon taking on four, Little Skull and Little Dragon were left to face five.
This was clearly a challenging task for Little Skull and his companion.
After all, they were only at the 1-Star Lord level, and even with Little Dragon's Oceanic Power and the triggered talent of the Son of the Ocean, they could barely hold off one opponent.
The four unoccupied summoned beasts clenched their fists and approached Little Skull.
Even if Little Skull was strong, how could a humble 1-Star Lord-level creature like him take on four opponents?
But he had no choice but to fight. He gritted his teeth and activated the Dragon Bone Power and the Bone Head skill, borrowing strength from the Bone Dragon and his other subordinates to boost his power to the 3-Star Lord level.
Then, Little Skull charged forward without hesitation.
In less than three minutes, Little Skull was smashed and sent flying by his opponents.
Coincidentally, Little Skull landed right in front of the lazy Tuan Tuan.
A skull and a pig, two creatures so close yet so awkwardly staring at each other.
To be precise, Tuan Tuan felt embarrassed, while Little Skull's eyes flashed with an unusual light.
At that moment, a sense of crisis overwhelmed Tuan Tuan, and it instinctively got up to run.
(Run? Where are you going, Tuan Tuan?) Little Skull extended his bone hand and grabbed the pig, holding it tightly. He then hurled the pig towards the four pursuing Skeleton Lords.
The Skeleton Lords seemed unfamiliar with this pig-shaped hidden weapon and responded with a direct sword strike.
Four terrifying forces erupted, and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed the pig's heart.
In that instant, Tuan Tuan, having consumed countless bones and resources, unleashed the power stored in its body.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by an angry and aggrieved roar, Tuan Tuan evolved.
Its strength and size increased simultaneously, and a ten-meter-tall giant Cuddly Pig appeared on the battlefield, surprising even Li Wu's side. They glanced at the pig's new attributes.
