Chapter 79: The Proud Little Skeleton
Chapter 79: The Proud Little Skeleton
Quan Cheng Cup Arena.
In the audience stands, Li Wu sat in a rather inconspicuous spot, half his face hidden beneath a hat.
To Li Wu's left was Doudou, holding a thermos of milk tea and a large bag of meat buns, which she devoured at Li Wu's urging.
To Li Wu's right was the Little Skeleton, playing with a new smartphone.
And because of the long time they hadn't seen each other, Tuan Tuan, from Doudou's family, kept nudging up against the Little Skeleton.
When Tuan Tuan was with the Little Skeleton, the latter's Eye Fire kept flickering with a unique radiance.
Whenever Li Wu touched the Little Skeleton and Tuan Tuan, he could see their current states.
Little Skeleton: [Proud (Tuan Tuan is so pitiful, she doesn't even have a phone!)]
Little Skeleton: [Proud (I guess Li Wu didn't buy Tuan Tuan a phone, but he's so good to me, he bought me lots of phones!)]
Li Wu couldn't stand the smugness of the Little Skeleton and had to look away.
As for the pig from Doudou's family, it was in a completely different state.
Tuan Tuan: [Greedy (It smells so good, the Little Skeleton smells delicious, I want to eat it!)]
Li Wu initially thought that the pig had missed the Little Skeleton after not seeing it for half a month, but it turned out that it was just craving the Little Skeleton's bones.
The pig took advantage of the Little Skeleton playing with its phone and took a bite, but it couldn't even make a dent, almost breaking its teeth.
This caught the Little Skeleton's attention, and its state changed once more.
Little Skeleton: [Proud (Tuan Tuan is so weak!)]
Little Skeleton: [Proud (Yeah, I'm so strong now, Tuan Tuan can't beat me at all!)]
Li Wu couldn't bear to look at the inflated Little Skeleton.
And it wasn't just the Little Skeleton who was puffed up; Hao Zhijian, who had reformed Team 233, was also full of himself.
From where Li Wu sat in the audience, he could see Hao Zhijian's inflated expression in the arena's rest area.
When Hao Zhijian was in Li Wu's team, he was arrogant, but as he wasn't the captain and was kept in check by Li Wu, he had to hold back.
But now, things were different.
With the reformation of Team 233 around Hao Zhijian as the new captain, his ego had soared to new heights.
From the audience stands, Li Wu could see him scolding his two new teammates while striking a condescending pose.
Watching Hao Zhijian's arrogant stance, Li Wu couldn't help but want to slap him.
Indeed, Li Wu had come today to teach him a lesson.
The day before, when Li Wu returned home, he was in high spirits, but upon hearing that Hao Zhijian had kicked him out and formed a new Team 233, he became upset.
However, Li Wu didn't mind this situation.
He had wanted to kick Hao Zhijian out anyway, but had hesitated to ask because he had taken money from him.
When Hao Zhijian left on his own, Li Wu felt relieved.
The problem was that Hao Zhijian didn't just leave; he also spread rumors and slandered Li Wu and Doudou after his departure.
This was something Li Wu couldn't tolerate.
That's why he had come early in the morning, with the intention of causing trouble.
But he wasn't in a rush to start the drama; he could watch from the sidelines and be an audience for a while.
However, Li Wu didn't realize that as soon as he arrived, the organizers noticed him.
After all, Li Wu had come as a spectator, and with the real-name ticketing system, the organizers immediately spotted him in their backstage system.
The shameless organizer, upon receiving this news, saw an opportunity for chaos.
Of course, the organizers wouldn't take action themselves; it would be too unsightly. Instead, they passed the message to Hao Zhijian.
"What? Lu Wu is back?"
Hao Zhijian was taken aback upon receiving the news and glanced in Lu Wu's direction.
With that glance, he spotted Du Du, who stood out in the crowd, and Lu Wu beside her.
"Well, well, just in time. If you don't win today, it'll be quite a disappointment."
"Lu Wu, you just wait! I'll pay you back double for the insult you gave me!"
Hao Zhijian's gaze turned cold as he rubbed his cheek, still stinging from Lu Wu's insult half a month ago.
However, he wasn't going to confront Lu Wu just yet.
He wasn't in a hurry; Lu Wu was the main course, and he needed to savor the appetizers before indulging in the main dish.
In a 16-9-1-1-1-0 version!
And the appetizers, of course, were the new team he was about to face, led by Ye Qingsnow.
Just then, the referee gave the signal to start the match and asked the contestants to take their positions.
Meanwhile, the commentator on the platform began their performance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for! The match between the newly formed Team 233 and Team 035 from Quan Cheng's Key Class is about to begin! I'm your commentator for this match, Ruben Wei."
"Both teams are in position. On the left, we have Team 233.
Leading the team is Captain Hao Zhijian, whom we all know well, so I won't introduce him further.
Behind him are two new teammates, with a Fire Lizard and a Hedgehog Pig as their Summon Beasts."
"On the right, we have Team 035, led by Captain Zhang Yun Kai, with a Gnome as his Summon Beast. His teammates have a Big Beak Lark and a common Goblin as their Summon Beasts."
"Indeed, in terms of Summon Beast combinations, Team 233 has a significant advantage over Team 035.
As expected, after restructuring, Team 233 has improved its coordination by removing the unreasonable configurations.
Although the Pig-Bird strategy is no longer viable without the pig, the core position of the bird remains. I've heard that Team 233 has upgraded their original tactics, and their strength should be even more formidable now.
On the other hand, Team 035 has a rather average lineup, and their previous matches haven't been particularly impressive.
Although I shouldn't be making any disparaging remarks before the match, I still want to say that Team 233 has a high chance of winning this match.
"Well, now the two captains are having their pre-match banter. Let's focus the camera on them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the arena's screen displayed the figures of Hao Zhijian and Zhang Yun Kai.
Amidst everyone's attention, Hao Zhijian confidently extended his hand towards Zhang Yun Kai and proudly declared, "Ideally, as classmates, we should prioritize friendship in this match.
But unfortunately, I have a compelling reason to win.
Ever since I was unjustly removed from the elite class, all my efforts have been to prove to her and everyone else that I will reclaim what was taken from me.
So, I'm sorry, but I must claim victory in this match!"
Hao Zhijian turned and left without giving Zhang Yun Kai a chance to respond, and the referee promptly announced, "The match begins!"
