Chapter 60: Victory
Chapter 60: Victory
No one could have predicted the twists and turns this match would bring.
In the blink of an eye, the two key players of Team 233 were taken down.
As the spectators witnessed the fallen figures outside the arena and the giant, paralyzed TuanTuan, still halfway through its transformation, they all believed it was over for Team 233.
From the commentators to the audience, everyone thought Team 233 was finished.
The organizers of the Quan Cheng Cup, who were closely monitoring this fight, couldn't help but feel disappointed. They cursed Team 233 under their breath, frustrated that despite all the advantages they had given them, they were still losing.
At the same time, they were already thinking of excuses to grant Lu Wu and his team a revival match.
Over at the spectator stand, the three students from the Advanced Class, Ye Qingxue's class, wore mischievous smiles.
"I told you it wasn't worth coming here. These three guys are just a joke.
What destiny battle? What comeback? They can't even beat a small team like 023. It looks like their Quan Cheng Cup journey is coming to an end."
"It's not certain that they're done yet. Someone might still use them to create some hype, but it doesn't matter. We know their level; they're just average in our class. They're no match for those top players, and even we three could easily beat them up."
Watching Team 233 getting dominated, the trio couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
On the other side, in the arena, after dealing with the two major threats, Li Yi finally managed to relax and smiled with relief.
Looking at the lone mini-skeleton left in the arena and Lu Wu, who stood before him with a grim expression, Li Yi taunted, "Captain Lu, do you think we still need to continue?"
Lu Wu struggled to suppress his anger and maintain a poker face.
"Why not?"
"Because, surrendering is much more dignified than getting beaten, don't you think?"
"I don't think so, and I don't see the need to surrender."
"Sigh, you won't listen to reason. If you want to fight, go ahead. It won't take much effort to finish this!"
With three against one, and that one being a mini-skeleton, what effort could it possibly take? At this moment, the commentator noticed that Lu Wu's side didn't seem ready to give up. They were preparing for a fight, so the commentator quickly resumed his duties.
"This match has been full of surprises.
023 has been hiding their ace up their sleeve. Using their never-before-seen Pig-Bird Formation during 233's all-out attack, they took down two of 233's key players.
Now, all that remains for 233 is their captain's mini-skeleton, which is in perfect condition.
On the other side, the three summoned creatures, though exhausted from their previous burst of power, are still in good shape. This is practically an impossible battle for 1v3!"
"Despite the odds, Lu Wu has chosen to fight to the end! This is his pride as a captain and as a Quan Cheng Cup participant.
It's his never-say-die attitude until the very last moment!"
"Look, the mini-skeleton is charging with its baseball bat towards the opponent. This little guy and its owner possess an unwavering determination and the courage to challenge stronger opponents.
Such a spirit is precious, and even if they lose this match, they deserve our respect for their admirable attitude. Let's see what amazing moves it has in store for us."
The commentator's words were encouraging, but they might as well have said that Lu Wu's team was destined to lose.
As the mini-skeleton approached the paralyzed moth, the commentator's excitement reached its peak.
"The Mini Skeleton dashed towards the Paralysis Moth, wielding its baseball bat. The moth dodged the attack and fired a Paralysis Needle, while the nearby Swamp Beast launched another Mud Ball, and the Slime attacked with an Ice Arrow.
The Mini Skeleton was surrounded, a desperate situation!
With no escape, the Mini Skeleton's fate seemed sealed... I can't believe it!"
As a professional commentator, one usually refrains from swearing during the broadcast, unless truly stunned by the events.
And this was one of those moments.
In the arena, Team 023 surrounded the Mini Skeleton for a three-way assault.
When everyone thought the Mini Skeleton's defeat was certain, it twisted its skeletal frame at an unbelievable angle, dodging the Mud Ball. With a swift motion, it smashed the Ice Needle, and as for the Paralysis Needle, the Mini Skeleton didn't even bother, letting it land on its frame.
But the Paralysis Needle's main effect is paralysis, effective against living creatures, but it had no effect on the undead Mini Skeleton.
"Now's the time! Take down the Paralysis Moth!"
At Li Wu's command, the Mini Skeleton swiftly turned and struck the Paralysis Moth with its bat, knocking it down.
With the Paralysis Moth defeated, Li Wu immediately issued another order.
"Charge! Heavy strike! Take out that Slime who should be immobile now!"
The Mini Skeleton burst into action, rushing towards the Slime that had just used Self-Ice Seal and was temporarily unable to move. With a powerful swing, it swept the Slime away.
In a stunning display, Team 023 lost two members in an instant, while the Mini Skeleton found itself at the edge of the arena.
Li Yi made a decisive call.
"Swamp Beast, seize the opportunity! Use your Mud Ball to push the Mini Skeleton off the stage!"
At this point, the Mini Skeleton was exhausted, with no strength left for evasion. Any attack would surely hit.
However, Li Wu remained calm, clearly holding a trump card.
Before the Swamp Beast could attack, a giant Earth Spike emerged from the ground, lifting the Swamp Beast into the air. Then, an enraged massive figure charged forward, slamming into the Swamp Beast and sending it flying out of the arena.
After the defeat of the Paralysis Moth and with the paralysis effect gone, TuanTuan, freed from her paralysis, delivered the final blow.
As the Swamp Beast was knocked away, the entire arena fell into a deafening silence.
No one expected that Team 233, already in such a dire situation, could still turn the tables despite the overwhelming odds.
After a while, the commentator finally reacted, excitedly applauding.
"What an incredibly intense and spectacular match! Let's congratulate Team 233 on their ultimate victory in this competition!"
Following the commentator's lead, deafening cheers and applause erupted.
"Team 233, well done!"
"Li Wu, amazing!"
"Mini Skeleton, incredible!"
In this moment, the applause for victory belonged to Team 233, to Li Wu.
This arena might as well be renamed the 'Team 233 Arena'.
The organizers of the Quan Cheng Cup, who had been closely following the match, were delighted. They were planning a revival match for Team 233, never expecting Li Wu and Dudu to pull off such an unexpected win.
Such a thrilling match was perfect for promotion, and the organizers quickly arranged for interviews to capitalize on the hype.
However, when the organizers arrived for the interview, they couldn't find Li Wu or Dudu. As the interviewer approached, Li Kai received a phone call, and Li Wu went to answer it, with Dudu following. The only person left was Hao Zhijian.
He had been worrying about finding an opportunity to rebrand himself, and now, the entire interview became Hao Zhijian's solo performance.
