25: Old Black's debut, two sneaky guys

"Interesting."

Lin Chuan stroked his chin, recalling the previous match with great interest.

He had originally expected two weaklings pecking at each other, but he didn't expect them to pull off so many tricks.

It also served as a reminder to Lin Chuan that while his own strength could steadily increase, he couldn't rule out the possibility of others occasionally having a burst of power.

"Brother Lin, did you see clearly? What kind of potent medicine did that Zhao Hu kid take to actually comprehend a new skill?"

Xu Dazhi looked sullen.

Originally, the gap between Zhao Hu and him wasn't large; they were pretty much evenly matched.

Ever since that guy joined Yan Hao's gang, not only was his Rank one star higher than his, but he also comprehended a new skill. Now, his Ironclad Beast probably couldn't beat it.

"I saw a little bit; it should be the lizard's tail. It instantly struck the Ice Wolf four or five times, completely crippling it. If you encounter it, be careful. At worst, just surrender directly."

"I know."

...The subsequent matches had nothing much to see. Most only had one skill, and if it missed, they were out of the game, waiting for the cooldown.

After four or five rounds, it was finally Lin Chuan's turn.

"Next up, No. 24 Lin Chuan, against No. 19 Zhou Ming. Step onto the stage."

Lin Chuan wasn't familiar with the name Zhou Ming.

However, seeing that the opponent came from Yan Hao's side, Lin Chuan understood.

"Brother, this guy is very insidious, be careful," the little fatty whispered a reminder.

"It's fine." After saying that, Lin Chuan stepped onto the stage.

On stage, Zhou Ming narrowed his triangular eyes, staring intently at Lin Chuan.

"Kid, you're very arrogant, daring to disrespect our Young Master Yan."

"You keep mentioning Young Master Yan. What, is Young Master Yan your father?"

Lin Chuan couldn't be bothered to be polite with him.

"You f***ing... just wait, you'll regret it."

Zhou Ming's eyes grew even more sinister, but he said no more.

"Begin."

Du Yong gave the command.

Five seconds passed.

On the stage, however, there was a complete silence.

"Huh? What's going on? Was my voice too soft?"

Du Yong couldn't help but wonder.

"I said, begin."

Du Yong roared.

"I'll let you go first."

Lin Chuan spoke directly.

"No, you go first."

Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes and replied.

On the stage, the sounds of the two politely deferring to each other rang out, a harmonious scene of brotherly respect.

The students below the stage couldn't help but question life.

"What's wrong? Don't they need to seize the initiative? Why are they deferring to each other?"

"Are they on good terms?"

"Look at Zhou Ming staring at Lin Chuan with lustful eyes, maybe..." a dangerous comment from a female student.

"What are you two doing? If you don't summon, you're both out."

Du Yong couldn't take it anymore and roared directly.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to start summoning.

This script deviated a little from what he had envisioned, but it wasn't a big problem.

Not being able to trick someone instantly cut the fun in half. It was better to end it quickly.

"Old Black, get ready, come out."

Lin Chuan's summons were always instantaneous, so he was the first to summon after all.

A huge black shadow appeared above the arena, then directly smashed down.

"Boom!!!"

A cloud of dust rose from the arena, and its surface was slightly dented.

"Ho... ly... sh... it..."

What was that?

All the teachers and students were collectively shocked.

The arena was only 10 meters by 10 meters, and this thing occupied more than half of it.

A giant Turtle with a diameter of nearly 6 meters appeared before everyone's eyes just like that.

Even when the giant Turtle was lying down, its shell was taller than a person.

"You summon too, what are you waiting for? Let me see what kind of trick you're trying to pull?"

Lin Chuan's leisurely tone pulled everyone back to reality.

Lin Chuan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. It was a good thing he had a sudden impulse last night to upgrade the Shape-Shifting skill to Level 3. Now, he could increase or decrease his body size by 200%.

The purpose was to give Old Black's debut a explosive opening.

The effect of the shocking entrance was good, but it didn't achieve its best practical value, which annoyed Lin Chuan.

Oh, right, the match was still going on!

Zhou Ming's Face was constipated, as if he had eaten a pile of dung.

He had no choice but to summon his Beast Tamer.

A Three-eyed Spider, about one meter in size, looked like a Turtle's son compared to the giant Turtle.

Originally, Zhou Ming planned to let the opponent summon first, then he would summon his spider to ambush from above the opponent's head.

The spider would use its web to control the opponent, then inject venom in one smooth motion. He had succeeded a few times before.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan had the same idea, but he intended to directly use the move 'Mount Tai Crushes the Top'.

Zhou Ming looked at the giant Turtle's astonishing size. What kind of ambush could he pull off?! The spider web wasn't even half the size of the Turtle's shell.

Thinking back to Lin Chuan's previous achievements, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel a lingering fear:

"I almost followed in Huang Wei's footsteps. Damn, this old schemer!!!"

If Lin Chuan had succeeded, his spider would have probably burst on the spot, with no need for rescue.

When a Beast Tamer dies, the Beast Tamer's Soul suffers heavy damage. It's hard to say if it can recover, but future potential will decrease significantly.

In severe cases, someone who originally had hopes of reaching Diamond might end up stuck at Peak Gold until death.

Seeing the Three-eyed Spider, Lin Chuan guessed that this kid wasn't up to any good.

It was nothing more than playing dirty tricks and launching sneak attacks.

Below the arena, Xu Dazhi said excitedly:

"I told you, the 'Mount Tai Crushes the Top' move is theoretically feasible! If the teacher hadn't made Lin Chuan summon first, he definitely would have used it."

As he spoke, he winked at Du Yong.

"Damn it, this little fatty..." Du Yong's Face dropped a bit, and he planned to arrange extra training for Xu Dazhi next month.

Who would have thought that Lin Chuan's Turtle could be so big? This was clearly abnormal. Yesterday during training, it was only 2 meters wide, and Lin Chuan was still cruising around the arena as usual.

"Can your Beast Tamer increase its size? You need to increase the size of your Beast Tamer, not your own!"

Du Yong lectured Xu Dazhi, then continued to pay attention to the match.

This Lin Chuan truly couldn't be treated with ordinary notions! He'd have to ask the principal later to find out what this kid's background was.

Even now, Du Yong only knew that Lin Chuan was Black Iron Rank 6, and that was what he had perceived himself. He knew nothing about his other talents or past.

In the female resting area, Ye Yao hadn't paid much attention to the match. After all, no matter what the outcome, it had nothing to do with her, and getting involved would only make her a laughingstock.

However, this oversized Turtle still surprised her.

"So big..."

If it had been something this big that had crashed into her courtyard back then, what would have been destroyed wouldn't have just been the courtyard wall; perhaps the entire villa would have immediately become a dangerous building.

"Is this Lin Chuan's secret? In the future, maybe he really has a chance..."

Ye Yao smiled slightly, silently mourning for Lin Chuan's opponent for a second.

At the same time, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes... "Why don't you make a move? I'm a defensive type; you can't expect me to attack, can you?"

On the stage, Lin Chuan grew impatient and spoke.

Did this guy only know how to ambush? Did he not know how to play fair?

Zhou Ming wanted to curse when he heard that.

With such a thick shell, his spider's fangs would break before they could bite through it.

Attack the head?

Not to mention the rocky outer shell armor on its head, it was common knowledge that Turtles could retract into their shells.
