My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 139 - 138 I predicted your prediction

042 Rest Area.

When Lu Wu and his team saw their next opponent, their mental state slightly crumbled.

"Another seeded team, there’s definitely something fishy about this competition!"

This was the fifth match, and they had faced one dark horse and four seeded teams in a row, Lu Wu was almost sick of it.

"Can’t we get some weaklings to practice with?

Look at team 004, after fighting us they immediately got a weakling to play against, and what about us? Motherfuckers!"

At that moment, Lu Wu felt the world was full of malice towards him.

However, while Lu Wu was unhappy, the viewers were quite pleased.

After all, the recent fight between 042 and 004 was exciting, albeit too quick and too short, like those certain updates, not very satisfying.

Now, just after 004 had fought, they were assigned against 007 which was quite nice, and the viewers loved it.

The match for Lu Wu’s team hadn’t even started, and a massive number of viewers had already flooded the live broadcast room, and at the arena they were about to fight in, other competitors had also arrived, in no small number.

Aside from the Hengheng Monster team and team 044, two quite notable teams from Group A also showed up, one being the only foreign team in Group A, 002, and the other the sole elite team from Fucheng, 001.

These were the two teams that Lu Wu had given two points to on the first day.

But these two teams came not for Lu Wu, but for team 044.

Or rather, they came because of the attention 044 attracted.

People thought team 044 was interested in team 004, but when team 044 showed up again for the match involving 042, it became clear they were there for 042.

Moreover, Lu Wu had revealed his identity as a Genius Cultivator.

The time between matches was enough for them to verify the truth of this identity.

This made those teams pay special attention to Lu Wu’s team 042.

So for this match of team 042, anyone who could make it came to watch, and those who couldn’t were following online.

The level of attention had surpassed the previous match against team 002, with a live broadcast audience reaching a whopping two million.

When Lu Wu saw this information, all his unhappiness and displeasure vanished.

Yes, he was now happy, very happy.

What had he joined the high school competition for?

Wasn’t it just for the publicity? How could Lu Wu possibly pass up such a great advertising opportunity?

So, upon seeing this information, he immediately conned Little Skeleton out of his phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then returned the phone to Little Skeleton.

After some quick preparation, Lu Wu’s fifth match was about to begin under the watchful eyes of a huge audience.

The appearance of the two teams shocked the viewers instantly.

It wasn’t that team 042 had pulled any sort of trick, in fact, their entrance was quite normal. It was in fact team 007 whose entry was anything but ordinary.

To be precise, it was the way the three Summoned Beasts of team 007 made their entrance.

Team 007 actually covered their Summoned Beasts with big barrels and cloths, and then led them under the arena.

"Captain Su, what’s this act?"

Lu Wu went forward to shake Su Lan’s hand, gesturing towards their Summoned Beasts.

"Isn’t this just to add a bit of mystery? It lets the viewers have more unknowns and surprises when watching the match!"

Su Lan responded to Lu Wu casually while shaking his hand.

Lu Wu was filled with black lines, can’t you put a bit more thought into your excuses? You’ve appeared before, could the viewers and your opponents not know what your Summoned Beasts are?

Lu Wu’s brain was sharp, and with a quick thought, he guessed the other side’s logic.

It was nothing more than guessing that he had the unusual ability to discern the real strength and weaknesses of Summoned Beasts, so they were afraid he would target their weaknesses, hence this act.

The tactic looked silly, but unexpectedly, it was somewhat effective.

Once the barrel was covered and cloth draped over, Lu Wu actually couldn’t see the attributes of those three Summoned Beasts.

"This isn’t good, you have to lift the cloth, let the sun shine in..."

As Lu Wu spoke, he moved to lift the cloth, but was stopped by Su Lan: "No, no, no, Captain Lu, let’s carry the mystery to the end.

Mr. Referee, we’ve got nothing more to say, can we end the conversation procedure?"

Su Lan obviously had made up his mind not to let Lu Wu see his Summoned Beasts, and there was nothing Lu Wu could do but to raise his hand indicating the conversation was over.

"The conversation is over; the match between team 042 and 007 will now begin, please select your Summoned Beasts to fight!"

As soon as the referee announced this, Su Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with Lu Wu again, and then led his Summoned Beasts back to their area like fleeing.

Meanwhile, the competitors who were observing this scene all had thoughtful expressions.

If things went as expected, these competitors would be guarding against Lu Wu more than thieves, not easily letting him see their Summoned Beasts.

"Am I really that scary?"

Lu Wu felt quite innocent.

All he could do was touch his nose and return to his team’s preparation area.

At the same time, Su Lan, who returned to his preparation area, had the corner of his mouth lifted, revealing a complacent smirk.

"Now, everyone thinks I covered my Summoned Beasts with cloth because I was afraid Lu Wu would see them, but they have no idea that my real purpose is to set a trap for Lu Wu."

The team member beside him was very curious: "Captain, what kind of trap are you setting?"

"I am setting a bewilderment trap. Now that I’ve covered all the Summoned Beasts with barrels and cloth, though it looks ridiculous, it also creates a sense of tension and uncertainty.

He won’t have any idea which Summoned Beast we will use."

Under such uncertainty, if you were to choose, which Summoned Beast would you send into battle?"

Su Lan appeared to be masterminding a strategy, instructing his two team members.

The two team members pondered for a moment, then had a sudden realization and said at the same time, "Goblin!"

"Skeleton!"

Su Lan’s face turned dark immediately, and he gave each of them a slap, "It’s the pig! You two idiots!

In the face of uncertainty about the enemy’s true strength, the pig is definitely the best choice since it has high physical and magic defense and strong attack power, making it the most suitable to lead the charge!"

Su Lan was making sense, but his two teammates were not convinced.

"But they used the pig in the opening of the last match!"

"That’s precisely because they used the pig in their last match, and now that the pig’s data has been exposed, it can be easily targeted!

Plus, we have Summoned Beasts on our side that can target theirs!

So their pig definitely won’t come out, and I need to set a trap to lure out their pig."

Su Lan was especially helpless. Why, when he was so smart, were his teammates these two fools?

Their opponent this time was a Genius Cultivator like Lu Wu. An average player could think two steps ahead, but surely this kind of Cultivator could think three steps ahead, and to defeat him, he must think even one more step.

He must anticipate the opponent’s anticipation of his anticipation!

"Forget it, even if I explain it to you two, you won’t understand. Others may think two steps ahead, but you can only think one and a half. Just follow my command!"

Su Lan, with a touch of exasperation like dragging along two pig-headed teammates, and with a bit of confidence in his unparalleled strategic mind, waved his hand and dispatched one of his Summoned Beasts.

"Go, take down that pig!"

Both sides’ Summoned Beasts stepped into the arena, and as the canvas was lifted away with a bang, Su Lan’s Summoned Beast for battle was revealed.

Lu Wu stepped closer, and a glance at the Summoned Beast’s attributes appeared before him.

...

Name: Iron Feathered Eagle (Advanced once)

Power: 1 star (Elite)

Quality: Black Iron

Attributes: Gold, Wind

State: Annoyed (I don’t want to be covered with cloth, Su Lan is an idiot!!)

Weakness: Fire

Skills: Dive (Master), Tear (Master), Feathered Wing Attack (Master), Wind Blade (Master)

Advanced Skill: Iron Feather Storm (Master)

Talent: Flexible Flying

Description: A bird that can fly, with quite a temper

...

"It’s this bird!"

Lu Wu’s mouth curved in amusement at the Attributes, while at the same time, Su Lan also started laughing smugly, "Didn’t expect it, did you? The one I sent out turns out to be this because I had already anticipated... What the hell is going on over there?"

By now, the Summoned Beast from the other side had made its way to the center of the stage, and finally, from Su Lan’s angle, he could see Lu Wu’s Summoned Beast—it wasn’t Tuantuan, but Little Skeleton that showed up.

This left Su Lan completely bewildered.

"Why would they send in this Skeleton? That’s not right. Isn’t it too soon for the Skeleton to come out?

A Skeleton making it to the provincial competition must be extraordinary, definitely a trump card and not easily played!"

At that moment, Su Lan felt a chill, "Could it be the other side has already anticipated my anticipation of their anticipation?"

His two teammates rolled their eyes. It was all from your own foolishness.

They were fed up with their team captain. Why go through so much trouble, only to mess it up in the end!

"Very clever, Lu Wu. Indeed, those who play Cultivators are crafty. I didn’t expect you to outmaneuver me, but I, Su Lan, don’t go down so easily.

My Iron Feathered Eagle can counter more than just pigs; it can handle Skeleton Mages as well.

Everything is still within my control."

Su Lan forced his swagger, while his teammates beside him were disgruntled, "If you can counter them all, why invent so much drama?"

"Don’t sweat the details, just watch how I take down this match!

Iron Feathered Eagle, use Wind Blade, attack!"

What can I say?

Although Su Lan was a bit of a joke, his skill was certainly not ordinary; rather, his cunning was exceptionally dirty.

At his command, the eagle took to the skies, and Lu Wu, assuming he’d maintain a distance for a ranged attack, prepared himself.

Instead, the eagle had barely risen two meters before it abruptly changed direction, charging at Little Skeleton like an arrow released from its bow.

Little Skeleton, caught off guard and who had been ready to play background music on his phone, immediately cast "Bone Teeth" and "Bone Shield" for defense.

Unfortunately, the "Bone Teeth" were swept away instantly, leaving only a fragile barrier of Bone Shield in front of Little Skeleton.

Su Lan’s mouth lifted into a smirk, "Didn’t see that coming, did you? I thought one step further, how would someone as clever as I distance myself from a Mage?

I said Wind Blade, and that big dummy on my side turned it into a Charge.

Caught unawares, you couldn’t possibly stop my big dummy from getting up close."

Su Lan thought the victory was practically his. Once a Mage is approached so close, is there even a fight left?

"I am indeed the most ingenious one!"
