My starting summon is a small skeleton

Quancheng Cup Competition Venue.

In the spectator seats, Lu Wu wore a hat that covered half his face, sitting in an unremarkable spot.

To Lu Wu's left was Dudu, whose appetite had grown since Lu Wu's return. At that moment, Dudu was holding a thermos filled with milk tea and a large bag of meat buns for snacks, eating crazily at Lu Wu's request.

To Lu Wu's right was Little Skeleton, who was playing with a new phone.

Additionally, perhaps because of not having seen each other for quite some time, Dudu's family's Tuantuan kept snuggling up to Little Skeleton.

And when Tuantuan was with him, the light in Little Skeleton's pupils kept flickering uniquely.

Occasionally, when Lu Wu touched Little Skeleton and Tuantuan, he could see their states.

Little Skeleton: [Proud (Poor Tuantuan, doesn't have a phone to play with!)]

Little Skeleton: [Proud (Because of Lu Wu not buying a phone for Tuantuan, hmm, Little Skeleton's Lu Wu is super kind—he bought so many phones for Little Skeleton!)]

Just look at how vain this skeleton is, Lu Wu couldn't bear to watch.

As for Dudu's family's pig, it was a different state altogether.

Tuantuan: [Gluttonous (Smells so good, Little Skeleton smells good, I really want to eat!)]

Well, Lu Wu thought this pig had missed Little Skeleton after not seeing him for half a month, but it turned out it was just craving Little Skeleton's bones.

This pig even took advantage of Little Skeleton playing with his phone to sneak a bite.

But it couldn't bite through, almost breaking its teeth.

It also made Little Skeleton aware of its cunning move, causing another change in Little Skeleton's state.

Little Skeleton: [Proud (Tuantuan is so weak!)]

Little Skeleton: [Proud (Hmm, Little Skeleton is super powerful now, Tuantuan can't beat him!)]

For his inflated ego, Lu Wu couldn't bear to watch.

The swollen one wasn't just Little Skeleton, but also Hao Zhijian who had recently reformed the 233 team.

There, Lu Wu sat in the spectator seats and could see Hao Zhijian's puffed-up face in the resting area of the stage below.

Previously, when Hao Zhijian was in Lu Wu's team, although he was arrogant, he restrained himself somewhat because he wasn't the captain and had Lu Wu to keep him in check.

But now things were different.

Now the 233 team had reformed around him, and this young man was the captain. His attitude had swelled beyond measure.

Standing in the spectator seats, Lu Wu could see him striking a pose while scolding his two new teammates.

Seeing this attitude from Hao Zhijian, Lu Wu couldn't help but want to slap him.

Indeed, Lu Wu came today intending to give this guy a slap.

Yesterday, after Lu Wu had returned home, he was upbeat until he heard that Hao Zhijian had kicked him out and formed a new 233 team.

Actually, Lu Wu didn't mind the situation.

He had been thinking of kicking Hao Zhijian out anyway; he had merely hesitated because of the money he'd received.

Hao Zhijian leaving by himself had actually seemed convenient to Lu Wu.

However, this guy didn't just leave—he went around slandering him and Dudu afterward.

That was something Lu Wu could not tolerate.

Therefore, he came early this morning specifically to cause trouble.

But he wasn't in a rush; he could sit by the side and watch as a spectator for a while.

However, what Lu Wu didn't know was that as soon as he arrived, the organizers immediately took notice of him.

After all, Lu Wu came today as a spectator and had to buy a ticket with real-name registration, so as soon as he arrived backstage, people noticed him.

The unscrupulous organizer's director received the news at the first instance and felt this was an opportunity for trouble.

Of course, the organizers themselves would not make a move; it would be too unsightly. They directly forwarded the news to Hao Zhijian.

"What? Lu Wu is back?"

Hao Zhijian was startled upon receiving the message and glanced in Lu Wu's direction.

With that glance, he recognized the conspicuously visible Dudu in the crowd and also noticed Lu Wu beside Dudu.

"Perfect timing, today's battle would have been less colorful without you.

Lu Wu, you just wait!

The humiliation you gave me, I will surely repay you double."

Staring at Lu Wu, Hao Zhijian touched his cheek that had been slapped by Lu Wu half a month ago, his gaze chilly.

However, he didn't plan to confront Lu Wu right then.

He wasn't in a rush; Lu Wu was the main dish, he planned to enjoy the appetizer before coming to the main dish.

The so-called appetizer was naturally the ordinary team led by Ye Qingxue he was facing today.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the referee issued instructions, and the match was about to start, asking both teams to take their positions.

Meanwhile, the commentator at the commentator's desk began his presentation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited match between the newly formed Team 233 and Team 035 from Quancheng No.3 Middle School's key class is about to begin!

I am Lu Benwei, the commentator for this match, and I'll be explaining the game to you."

"Now both teams have taken their positions; on the left our Team 233.

Leading in front is Captain Hao Zhijian; everyone is familiar with him, so I won't introduce him.

Following him are two new teammates, whose summoned beasts are a fire lizard and a hedgehog pig."

"On the right is Team 035, led by Captain Zhang Yunkai, his summoned beast is an earth cave person, and his two teammates' summoned beasts are respectively a big-mouthed skylark and the very common goblin."

"Um, speaking of the composition of summoned beasts, Team 233 here seems quite stronger than Team 035.

Indeed, after restructuring, Team 233 has eliminated irrational setups and harmonized a lot without weak points.

Though the pig-bird tactic is no longer viable since the pig is gone,

the core position of the bird is still there, and it's said that Team 233 has already upgraded their original tactics, which should bring them to a higher level of strength.

On the other hand, looking at Team 035.

The lineup is average, and there hasn't been much impressive performance in previous matches.

Although I shouldn't say anything discouraging before the match as a commentator, I still think Team 233 is very likely to win this match.

"Um, now the captains of both teams are having a pre-match conversation; let's focus our cameras on them."

As his words ended, the images of Hao Zhijian and Zhang Yunkai appeared on the screen on the stage.

In this moment of wide-spread attention, Hao Zhijian stretched out his hand confidently to Zhang Yunkai and proudly said, "Ideally, as classmates, this match should be about friendship first.

But regrettably, I have a must-win reason.

From the moment I was unfairly kicked out of the key class, all my efforts have been to tell her, to tell everyone, I will take back what I lost by my own hands.

So, I'm sorry, but I am taking this match's victory!"

Having said that, Hao Zhijian flamboyantly flicked his hand, turned, and left, not giving the other side a chance to speak. The referee then promptly announced,

"The match begins!"
