120: Summon vs Summon

Besides Li Changkong, the little girl in the fiery outfit was the fastest to end her battle.

Her method of attack was to unleash the cannon she carried on her shoulder.

Her opponent was a Shield Warrior who was tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, but slow-moving.

A battle between a marksman and a Shield Warrior should be a prolonged one.

Who knew that the little girl would defeat the Shield Warrior with just a few cannon shots, blasting him off the stage.

As she walked off the stage, the little girl's gaze met Li Changkong's.

It was then that Li Changkong felt he had seen the little girl somewhere before.

But for a moment, he couldn't recall where.

After the first round of matches concluded, Li Changkong returned to his spectator seat. It was only after more than ten minutes that all the first-round matches were finished.

The next round was the quarterfinals, and the opponents this time would be even stronger.

To ensure the speed of the matches, there were always Priests below the stage.

The Priests would immediately restore their energy, stamina, and health.

As a man wielding a great saber walked off the arena, he went straight to Li Changkong's resting spot.

He slammed the great saber in his hand onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Li Changkong looked up at the burly man, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with him.

"Are you Li Changkong?"

The burly man looked at him and asked in a muffled voice.

"Yes."

Li Changkong immediately lowered his head again.

"You should know Xu Chuchu, right? Stay away from her in the future."

As the burly man spoke, he slammed the great saber in his hand again, as if threatening Li Changkong.

Looking at the great saber warrior's appearance, Li Changkong's expression remained normal, completely uninterested in engaging.

Noticing that his warning had been ignored, the burly man's face flushed green and red.

But he looked around and ultimately had some reservations, refraining from acting.

Instead, he said, "Wait until I win this championship, then I'll settle the score with you."

After speaking, he dragged his great saber and walked away into the distance.

Li Changkong paid no attention to this minor interlude.

The second round was about to begin soon, and this time Li Changkong encountered an abyssal summoner.

The abyssal summoner's skill was to summon corresponding monsters from the endless Abyss.

In the previous assessment, he relied on this skill to break into the top four, just a few points short of tying for third.

And this abyssal summoner was from Tiandao Academy.

The abyssal summoner wore a black magic robe, making it impossible to see his appearance, only his eyes.

As soon as the two stood on the stage, the abyssal summoner suddenly waved his hand.

Three summoning arrays formed beside him, and from within them emerged three ferocious hounds.

These hounds were completely permeated with Death Qi, as if they had just crawled out of Hell.

The moment they saw Li Changkong, they lunged at him madly.

"Interesting."

Li Changkong did not rush to counterattack; he also raised one hand.

A summoning array appeared before him, but the runes on the summoning array were different.

A Demonic Dragon gradually emerged from the summoning array, and the Demonic Dragon's body was dozens of times larger than the fierce hounds.

The hounds, over a meter tall, were practically insignificant in front of the Demonic Dragon.

"He, he can also use summoning arrays?"

A gasp of surprise came from the crowd.

Even Thunder King was somewhat unsettled, seeing the Demonic Dragon that emerged from the summoning array.

Black Flame was also an abyssal creature, and its strength was far greater than these three Demonic Hounds.

The moment Black Flame appeared, the originally ferocious three Demonic Hounds instantly stopped in their tracks.

They, who had been fierce-looking moments before, now acted as docile as three small puppies, and low whimpering sounds actually came from their mouths.

This sudden change caught the abyssal summoner off guard.

He could only shout angrily, "Charge, you better charge for me!"

Facing their master's urging, the three Demonic Hounds still showed no inclination to charge; instead, they retreated repeatedly.

"Surrender."

Li Changkong looked at the abyssal summoner and continued.

This was the first time he had encountered a rebellion from his summoned creatures.

Although he was unwilling, he could only nod in resignation.

In a low voice, "I surrender."

This time, it wasn't even a instant kill; the opponent surrendered directly.

"Interesting."

Thunder King's gaze towards Li Changkong gradually became fervent.

Standing beside him was Jin Buhuan, and he also hadn't expected Li Changkong to know summoning magic.

The summoned creature's strength was actually so terrifying, reaching at least level thirty-something.

At this moment, both of them understood why Li Changkong had achieved such a terrifying score.

And Li Changkong's body seemed to be covered in a thick layer of mist, making them want to know what lay beyond that mist.

Li Changkong was still among the first to finish the second round and quickly returned to his resting seat.

A wail came from afar, followed by a dull thud of something hitting the ground.

The man who had been strutting arrogantly in front of him just moments ago was now directly blasted onto the stage by several cannon shots.

The flesh all over his body was charred black by the cannon fire, and one could even smell some burnt odor.

Even the well-informed Priest paused slightly on the side.

After all, with injuries to this extent, complete recovery was probably impossible.

The girl, carrying her cannon, swaggered down.

"Tantai Senior is mighty, Tantai Senior is mighty!"

"With this strength, the championship is definitely Tantai Senior's, hahahaha!"

"Our Tiandao Academy is the top academy in this Dragon Country; Shenhua Academy is no match this time."

...

Some students from Tiandao Academy who were watching cheered excitedly.

The second round also came to an end after more than ten minutes.

Now that it was a battle between experts, there was naturally less probing.

As soon as they started, they were already at full power, so the battles ended very quickly.

However, compared to the girl carrying the cannon, Li Changkong was more curious about how that iron tower-like Shield Warrior had managed to hold on until now.

A Shield Warrior itself is not an offensive profession, but a team defense profession.

In these arena matches, the ones who should have the advantage are offensive professions like Warriors, Assassins, and Mages.

Shield Warriors often lack sufficient output and then run out of steam.

Relying solely on their tankiness, they can't inflict much damage on the opponent.

Moreover, this Shield Warrior looked quite honest and seemed not to have used any other means to achieve victory.

Not thinking too much about it, after this battle ended, the next would be the semifinals.

Li Changkong was somewhat excited, wanting to see what kind of strength these top talents among the new students possessed.
