My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 165 - 163 Slap Lu Wu (Subscribe please)
Hmm, the reason Little Griffin was sent flying backwards from Fang Bai’s house was that it got a face-full of little goldfish’s salty soda spray.
In theory, a Wind Attribute creature like Little Griffin, adept at Flying and innately gifted with a Speed Boost, shouldn’t be easy to hit with a spray of salty soda.
But who knew the little goldfish was specially skilled at spraying people. When it decided to hit, it hit, and Little Griffin couldn’t dodge at all. It got sprayed and sent flying back.
"Garbage!"
Seeing this scene made Lu Wu even more disappointed than Fang Bai.
He had been hoping Little Griffin could wear down the little goldfish a bit. Even if the little goldfish got caught off guard and defeated, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
He’d already formed a contract with the little goldfish; it’d be useless for anyone else to defeat it, unless they took out Lu Wu himself.
So, he wasn’t afraid of anyone defeating the little goldfish – the ones who would be annoyed were those who did defeat it. He was just afraid the little goldfish might turn on him later.
He had a bad feeling that he might get beaten up soon!
His brain couldn’t help but flash back to the miserable sight of Su Lan being pecked by birds and nibbled by dogs. Lu Wu certainly did not want to experience that.
Whether his premonition would come true or not, he wasn’t sure, but the word "garbage" was particularly grating to Fang Bai’s ears.
He had no rebuttal at the moment.
After all, he tried to show off and got sprayed instead. Nothing he could say would help now, so he directed his anger at his own summoned beast.
"Get up!
Try the Fierce Wind Blade!"
At Fang Bai’s command, Little Griffin, which had just been sprayed and barely steadied itself, spread its wings to accumulate power. Then a dozen or so fierce Wind Blades sliced towards the little goldfish.
The attack was no joke.
Already an advanced skill, now enhanced with the power from its bloodline, the attack had reached Boss 1 Star levels.
The strike concerned Lu Wu; would the little goldfish be sliced up?
Well, it turned out Lu Wu’s concerns were unnecessary.
An aura of golden energy materialized outside of the little goldfish’s body, effectively blocking the wave of attacks and, while bracing against the assault, it managed to spit out another jet of water.
Then, Little Griffin was sprayed and sent flying once again.
This time, Little Griffin got it even worse, smacking into the ground, unable to get back up.
Within three rounds, an Elite summoning beast, capable of Leader Level attacks after releasing its Big Move, was utterly defeated.
This left the bystanders completely dumbfounded.
This little goldfish was only palm-sized, power at Elite Level, seemingly not even three stars, yet it was so terrifyingly powerful. Could this be an opponent that their fellow Boss Level high schoolers could even hope to defeat?
Up above, the big shots began to see what was going on.
"That’s not right, that’s not the little goldfish’s actual power. It’s borrowing strength from those summoning beasts behind it. We must sever its link to the other beasts, or on their own, they have no chance of beating it!"
Xu Tian sensed something was amiss. He was about to act and cut off the connection between the little goldfish and its small army of minions when Zhu Qing stopped him.
"It would be somewhat unfair to those who already tried if we disrupt it now. If you cut the connection, they have to start over from scratch."
Clearly, he was trying to give Fang Bai another chance.
At that moment, a youngster riding on a Jiao Long casually commented, "Let’s keep it as it is for now. I like it this way."
Once he spoke, no one dared to object.
And thus, the attempts to master the little goldfish – er, rather, the series of beatings that ensued – began.
Even Fang Bai, with his messed-up appearance, didn’t stand a chance. Neither did the others.
From contestants number 3 to 6 who entered the final ring, it was a moment in, moment out affair. None could withstand a second blow.
It wasn’t until contestant number 7, Xu Yang, that there was something worth watching, but even then, it was only because he was better prepped than Fang Bai, lasting two rounds before defeat.
With Xu Yang out, it was now the turn of contestant number 8, Lu Wu.
He was even more panicked now. He could sense the little goldfish’s mood becoming more irritable, and he was sure he would be punched upon entering the ring.
So, he became somewhat flustered and consulted with Wang Jun at his side.
"How about you go in first?"
Wang Jun just looked at Lu Wu and smiled without a word. With no other choice, Lu Wu touched his nose and, with Little Skeleton by his side, took a tentative step toward the little goldfish.
The closer he got to the ring, the more he felt the little goldfish’s tail seemed eager to strike.
He had an uneasy premonition that perhaps, maybe, the little goldfish was indeed preparing to slap him.
This left Lu Wu feeling wronged and on edge.
He walked slower and slower. The twenty-meter distance took him three minutes to cover, leaving the onlookers impatient.
Fang Bai, who had just embarrassingly failed, taunted directly, "Can’t you hurry up? You have no hope of mastering it anyway. What’s with the dawdling?
A chop to the stretched neck or a head in the shell, it’s still a chop!"
Lu Wu immediately became unhappy, "Who told you I can’t master it?
I’ll have you know, it’s my summoning beast!"
Provoked by Fang Bai’s words, Lu Wu suddenly lost his nervousness. He marched toward the final ring with Little Skeleton, his strides brisk, emanating an air as somber as the chilling winds of Yi River.
Yes, to Fang Bai and the others, Lu Wu was just offering his head for the chopping block.
Not just Lu Wu; aside from those heavy hitters, everyone in the face of the little goldfish was just fodder.
Eight matches had revealed the little goldfish’s strength.
Its level might be around Elite 2 Star, but its combat power was decisively Boss Level, maybe even Boss Level 3 Star.
An entity like that, their entire group stood no chance.
However, Fang Bai and his peers hadn’t lost hope, because the big shots told them that the little goldfish’s strength came from a special skill. Once their round of high schoolers all lost,
they planned to sever the little goldfish’s special skill and give it another go. In a rematch, Fang Bai felt he still stood a decent chance.
So, he was eagerly awaiting for Lu Wu to quickly deliver his head.
They were all no match for the little goldfish. And Lu Wu’s Little Skeleton? Wasn’t that just another head for the taking?
Well, no sooner had Lu Wu gone inside than he was flying out again.
Fang Bai got excited as soon as he saw this.
"Lu Wu has flown out, number 9 has failed, switch... wait, why has Lu Wu flown out?"
Fang Bai was a bit confused, and Lu Wu was even more so.
On one hand, it was because he realized he was yanked from inside and sent flying more than ten meters without seeming to sustain any injury.
On the other hand, it had to do with the little goldfish’s attributes.

???,???
Description: This is your little goldfish, which you locked in your closet for several months, barely managed to hatch from its egg, and then you forgot it in Quan City. It has come a long way with its followers just to slap you.
...
Upon seeing these attributes, Lu Wu was stunned.
Despite having estimated the creature’s power as high as possible, he hadn’t anticipated the little thing to be so terrifying.
Especially the "Child of the Sea" and "Commander of the Water Clan" talents.
Are these even talents? They’re more like cheats, aren’t they?
With these two talents, the little goldfish’s combat power could reach leader level directly, which was horrifyingly powerful.
As it turned out, it hadn’t even used its full strength up until now.
Although this power heavily relied on the environment, falling back to its original form once separated from the sea and from its followers, even the original form was quite terrifying.
Two advanced spells, one of which was a [Master] level skill.
Keep in mind, Lu Wu had seen only two skills at master level proficiency so far, the last was Er Ha’s strange skill [Demolition] from Su Lan’s household.
Unlike those, his little goldfish has a master level skill that is, erm, um, called [Slap Lu Wu]. The name might seem silly, but isn’t that full of love for him?
Lu Wu looked at the description again.
Even more confused, he locked this little guy in the closet for several months?
When did that happen?
When had he abandoned this cute little creature?
Lu Wu felt unjustly blamed and especially resentful; he genuinely had no memory of the incident.
Then he looked again at the little goldfish who had slapped him once and ignored Little Skeleton. It had bolted out of the water to the edge of the finals circle, staring at him, exceptionally angry and resentful, and, um, particularly looking forward to another slap.
Lu Wu felt it was time to make some things clear.
So he crawled to the edge of the finals circle, arranged by the bigwigs, and faced off with the little goldfish across the circle’s boundary.
The little goldfish tried to slap Lu Wu several times but couldn’t. Its state then immediately changed: Get in here!
"I’m not going in, if I do, you’ll slap me!"
Lu Wu shook his head furiously while trying desperately to think of how to soothe the little goldfish.
"Little goldfish, listen to me, I didn’t intentionally leave you behind, it was, it was... it was him!"
Lu Wu stammered for a while, but after seeing Little Skeleton, he decided to pass the buck to it: "Actually, I did think of opening the closet and bringing you with me that day, but Little Skeleton rushed out too eagerly and that’s why I didn’t open the door. It’s all Little Skeleton’s fault, you slap it!"

The heartless guy, to avoid being slapped himself, pointed the finger directly at the bewildered Little Skeleton.
The guileless little goldfish was momentarily confused and turned its head to look at Little Skeleton as if pondering whether what Lu Wu said was true.
Just then, a young man atop Jiao Long gently flicked his hand and a force came from behind Lu Wu, pushing him into the finals circle, right in front of the little goldfish.
In that moment, man and fish locked eyes, and the little goldfish’s tail started to wriggle in anticipation.
Lu Wu, not accepting his fate, tried to struggle: "Look, let me explain…"
"Whoosh!"
Um, his words were cut off as he was sent sky-high.
The little goldfish had learned its lesson and didn’t send Lu Wu flying out of the finals circle again; instead, it began to slap him around inside the circle like a ball...
