Chapter 169: The War Begins! (Update)
"Now, I declare that the first round of the challenge match has officially begun. Dragon Country Team 2, who have drawn empty lots, please come on stage."
"Please invite the first challenge team to come on stage."
As Dean Tao's voice fell, Xu Shisan led Hu Kai and four others from the contestant seats and headed to the stage.
On the other side, the Yue Country’s Team 2, which had just been defeated by the Tianzhu Country’s Team 2, also came back on stage.
As the Dragon Country Team 2 took the stage, the ordinary spectators in the stands couldn't help but feel sorry for the Dragon Country Team 2:
"Alas, why did our Dragon Country Second Team draw a blank?"
"Yeah, we can only advance if we beat four teams in a row, which is not possible at all."
"Yes, the second teams of other countries are also very strong and should not be underestimated."
Although these ordinary spectators in the stands are ordinary people, they also understand the rules of the challenge, and they can also see the strengths and weaknesses of the teams.
In their opinion, the strength of Dragon Country's second team should be similar to that of other countries' second teams. Even if it is slightly stronger than other countries' second teams, they are still no match for four of them.
However, the summoners sitting in the front row of the audience had a different opinion:
"Hey? Isn't that Han Tianci from our S Academy? As I remember, he was the first in the trials. How come he is on the second team?"
"Yes, and Senior Shen Xuanang, why is he also on the second team?"
"Isn't that the pretty boy who challenged the entire S Academy? Is he also in the second team?"
"Damn, it's really that pretty boy. Now our Dragon Country Second Team is safe."
Many of the summoner audience members sitting in the front were students of the Imperial Capital Academy, so they naturally knew Han Tianci, Shen Xuanang and others.
Including Xu Shisan, they are more familiar with him.
In the last Imperial Capital College Challenge, Xu Shisan challenged the entire S College alone and defeated 32 S College seniors in a row. His glorious feat is still circulating in the college.
Among the students watching the competition at the duel arena that day, who didn’t know about Wang Xu Shisan?
The last duel between Xu Shisan and Shen Xuanang is still circulating in the academy.
Who doesn’t know the pretty boy who stole Shen Xuanang’s fiancée?
Although these students didn't understand why Xu Shisan, Han Tianci and others were in Team 2, when they saw Xu Shisan on the court, they immediately felt stable.
However, those summoners who were not students of the Imperial Capital Academy were confused. When they heard them discussing about pretty boys and college competitions, they all looked like wild rats that couldn't get the big melon.
"No, brother, what are you talking about? What pretty boy?"
"Yeah, who stole whose fiancée?"
"What challenge? Tell me quickly."
"These are all the inside stories of our academy. Do you want to hear them? First, give me ten bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid."
"I'm cheap, just give me eight bottles."
"Fuck! Why don't you just go and rob it!"
As the Dragon Country Team 2 and the Yue Country Team 2 came on stage, Dean Tao also announced:
"I declare that the first round of the challenge, Yue Country Team 2 challenges Long Country Team 2, and the match officially begins!"
As Dean Tao's voice fell, the second team of Yue State took the lead in mobilizing the dimensional energy in the sea of consciousness, and saw several dimensional gates appear on the duel field. From one of the gates, a huge poison frog with colorful patterns all over its body jumped out. It was the B-level contracted beast poison dart frog of the second player of Yue State, Ruan Wenqiang.
A black-armored scorpion with a tail like a chain crawled out from the second dimensional gate. It was none other than the B-rank contracted beast of Li Minghui, a player from the second team of Yue State, the Tail-Swinging Poison Scorpion.
A huge tiger with purple stripes stepped out of the third dimensional gate. Electric currents crossed wherever its limbs and feet stepped. It was the Purple Thunder Tiger, the B-level contracted beast of Fan Wenlong, a player from the Yue country's second team.
A giant snail-like summoned beast that looked like an apple snail slowly crawled out from the fourth dimensional gate. The snail had a flat spiral and a large vent. This was also the B-level contracted beast of Fan Wenlong of the Yueguo Second Team, the exploding snail.
A gigantic long-tusked elephant appeared from the fifth dimensional gate, its skin extremely wrinkled, like the sagging skin on the face of an eighty-year-old grandmother.
This is exactly the Immortal Beast of Ruan Junhao, a player from the Yue National Team 2.
The Sixth Gate
The five players of Yue Team 2 summoned a total of seven B-level summoned beasts, but these were not all the B-level beasts of the Yue Team 2 players.
However, the more beasts you summon, the more chaotic the battlefield will be, and the more disorganized the coordination will be. A five-man team will have the best advantage if it summons seven or eight beasts to fight.
The Yue State was adjacent to the Long State, and their surnames and names were similar to those of the Long State. Among them, Ruan, Chen and Li were the three major surnames with the largest number of people.
Although Yue's comprehensive national strength ranks last among the nine countries, their summoner team should not be underestimated.
We just had a pretty good fight with the Indian team.
Therefore, Hu Kai, Luo Xiong, Han Tianci and Shen Xuanang did not underestimate their opponents and immediately summoned out their main summoned beasts.
Shen Xuanang summoned his Earth Dragon Beast and Thunder Eel, and Han Tianci summoned his Auspicious Ice Dragon Beast and Sky King.
Hu Kai summoned his Blue Armor Black Leopard, and Luo Xiong summoned his Exploding Mad Bear.
As for Xu Shisan, he only summoned Doctor Birdbeak 049.
The five of them also only summoned seven summoned beasts. Han Tianci, Hu Kai and Luo Xiong also preserved their own strength.
After both sides sent out their summoned beasts, Luo Xiong ordered his Exploding Mad Bear to take the brunt of the attack and rush to the front, launching the first attack on the summoned beasts of Yue Country's second team.
Luo Xiong's Exploding Mad Bear has a special skill called "Frenzy". Once activated, it will instantly increase its attack power and defense power, becoming extremely violent, comparable to an A-level summoned beast.
However, there is a time limit. The berserk state can only be maintained for three minutes. After three minutes, one will become instantly weakened.
Therefore, Luo Xiong will not easily activate this violent state.
Even if it is not a Exploding Bear in a berserk state, its defense and attack power are still very strong. With its huge size advantage and powerful defense, it is enough to crush most B-level summoned beasts. This is why Luo Xiong was able to break through in the selection competition.
Therefore, Luo Xiong's Exploding Bear is the front row of the team and is resistant to damage.
"Poison dart frog, poison arrow spray!"
Seeing Luo Xiong's Exploding Bear rushing up, Ruan Wenqiang, a player from the opposing Vietnamese team, immediately ordered his poison dart frog to use his own special skills.
The patterned poison dart frog suddenly opened its mouth and a stream of venom shot towards Luo Xiong's explosive bear like a sharp arrow.
This is the special skill of Curare. Its saliva contains an extremely strong poison that can be sprayed out like an arrow.
Although the penetrating power of this venom arrow is very weak and cannot break the defense of the Exploding Bear at all, this venom is permeable. Once sprayed onto the summoned beast, the venom will flow through the skin and penetrate into the body of the summoned beast. Once it penetrates, it is enough to paralyze a B-level summoned beast in just ten seconds.
