My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 153 - 152 Unfathomable Lu Wu

Arena 001.

The match that millions had focused on started at 9 AM on the 19th.

However, there was a step before the match started—drawing lots.

Determining whom would face whom in the first round, and then the second, mapping out the order of the supplemental matches in one go.

The order of the matches was crucial.

It was the same for both Lu Wu’s and Jiang Beifeng’s sides.

And amid their anticipation, the results came out quickly.

Today’s first match would be 018 versus 001, the second match was 001 versus 042, and the third would be 018 versus 042!

Seeing this order of matches, Jiang Beifeng’s lips curled up immediately.

"It seems, luck is always in sync with me!" he said.

This was almost the perfect result Jiang Beifeng could have hoped for.

Upon seeing this order, he was already certain of today’s process and outcome.

001 would concede the first match, then utterly defeat 042 in the second, and in the third, 018 would wrap it up and take 042 down.

It was a perfect arrangement.

"Ah, everything is arranged for the best. It seems that today the outcome of that big gamble will emerge!"

Jiang Beifeng was particularly pleased, his lips curved into an uncontrollable smile.

Under Jiang Beifeng’s eager anticipation, the first match of the supplemental battles promptly started at 9:00, yet it also ended at 9:01.

Everything proceeded exactly according to Jiang Beifeng’s script—the competitors came onto the stage for the first match, and 001 conceded!

Except for a small portion of people who were baffled, most were not surprised.

They knew that the real contest would start in the second match.

And they didn’t have to wait long for this second match.

The first hadn’t brought any action, so the second was quickly arranged.

At 9:30 AM, beneath Arena 001,

the leaders of both parties appeared. Lu Wu, representing Team 042, shook hands with Zhuang Yan, the captain of Team 001.

As they shook hands, before Zhuang Yan could even speak, Lu Wu took the initiative.

"Have you ever considered such an issue?" he asked.

"What issue?" Zhuang Yan replied.

Lu Wu’s lips quirked up: "You just lost the first match to 018, and if you lose this one, the supplemental matches will be over, and you’ll be completely out of the top eight."

Zhuang Yan, full of disdain, said, "Such an impossible event; do you think I need to contemplate it?"

Lu Wu squinted his eyes. "Whether you contemplate it is not the point; the point is what you’re going to do about it afterward.

Also, if I am free, let’s chat a bit more, gratis.

You must have been researching what tactics I might use lately, right? Now, I can tell you very responsibly and sincerely that I didn’t prepare any tactics to deal with you.

I’ll go head-to-head, beat you outright.

Oh, your first entrant is the Rock Python, right?

Finally, one more piece of information for you. My first entrant is the goblin!"

With that, Lu Wu raised his hand to indicate the conversation was over.

Zhuang Yan, however, wasn’t taken aback by Lu Wu’s words, and certainly, he didn’t believe that Lu Wu would literally go head-to-head with him.

Team 042 didn’t have the power for that; this was clearly a tactic by Lu Wu.

And Teacher Jiang had already spoken about Lu Wu’s tactics.

A Cultivation Master like Lu Wu, cunning and sly, wouldn’t let you see through his tactics easily.

He would do everything possible to make you anxious, then slowly lead you on.

In such situations, they didn’t need to pay heed, only needed to play steadily, without giving him any chance; all Lu Wu’s schemes and stratagems would turn out to be paper tigers.

Thus, Zhuang Yan wasn’t affected by Lu Wu at all, adhering strictly to their original plan.

After simultaneously raising their hands to end the conversation, both sides sent out their first Summoned Beast.

On Team 001’s side was the Rock Python, and on Team 042’s, a goblin.

This was quite surprising; both Team 001’s Rock Python and Team 042’s goblin had been predicted by Lu Wu during the conversation phase.

Why, despite Lu Wu having forecasted that 001 would send out Rock Python, did 001 still choose to stick with it without switching?

Was it because of absolute confidence in their own power?

While the majority of the audience was baffled, Jiang Beifeng narrowed his eyes below the stage.

He was particularly curious about the expression on Lu Wu’s face down there, which probably wasn’t too pretty.

After all, Lu Wu’s words on the stage were clearly strategizing, hoping to influence Team 001 to alter their Summoned Beast’s battle order.

But now, Team 001 remained unmoved, completely following their own pace, making things very difficult for Lu Wu.

"He must have guessed the tactic that 001 is going to use next by now; it’s the most disadvantageous tactic for him. His chances of winning are now almost zero.

However, given his character, he probably won’t despair now.

He wouldn’t give up, and might even have a surprise for me, which could very well be related to that goblin."

Thinking this, Jiang Beifeng’s curiosity led him to focus his gaze on the goblin.

While scrutinizing the goblin, he began pondering what tactics he would use if he were starting with a goblin.

Meanwhile, as he was thinking, the battle had already begun on the platform.

From the start, the Rock Python launched a vigorous attack, while the goblin from Team 042 chose to Dodge.

"Just like the battle with Team 038, the same tactics. But this goblin doesn’t have any ’Grass Planting’ skills, so what’s its evasion for?

Just because it can’t win and wants to flee?"

Jiang Beifeng thought not.

He believed that with Lu Wu’s wisdom, since he had sent out the goblin first, there absolutely had to be a plan.

It couldn’t just be about sending it out to take hits.

"There must be a plan, there must be a scheme, but where is it exactly?"

Jiang Beifeng used his clever mind to observe the battle, gather intelligence, and continuously deduce the purpose behind Lu Wu sending out the goblin.

On Lu Wu’s side,

he too was watching the performance of the goblin closely.

As for sending out the goblin with deep forethought and strategic calculations?

Sorry, there was none!

In this match, the goblin wasn’t important at all; it was an expendable entity.

He sent out the goblin merely to wear down the opponent; at most, Lu Wu was hoping that the goblin could find that one opportunity during the battle.

If it could find that opportunity and convert the eight needles into power, that would be best.

If it couldn’t find the opportunity, then just wearing down the opponent would suffice.

But Jiang Beifeng didn’t think so, nor did Wang Jun from Team 044.

They both felt that with Lu Wu’s intelligence, there definitely had to be a scheme.

Absolutely.

So, the two of them widened their eyes, frantically thinking.

However, unable to come up with anything regardless of the angle they considered, they felt that the goblin was merely meant to wear down the Rock Python.

But could Lu Wu really send out a goblin just for that simple reason?

That clearly wasn’t likely.

Lu Wu must have had a plan; they just couldn’t see it, must have missed the key point.

So, they studied even harder.

After five minutes of such struggling, they were forced to give up one after another.

"Forget it, we can’t figure it out. Lu Wu really lives up to his reputation as a Genius Cultivator; his machinations are inscrutable. Let’s just wait for him to reveal his hand!"
