My starting summon is a small skeleton

Lost!

Hao Zhijian lost!

In a full outburst, he was defeated in an instant.

No one anticipated such an outcome, including Lu Wu.

Lu Wu never thought Hao Zhijian would lose, having seen the attributes of the summoned beasts in the elite class.

He was even more familiar with the attributes of the three creatures under Zhang Yunkai's command on the stage.

Very average!

When he first joined the elite class, he should have been evenly matched with Hao Zhijian.

Not to mention, Hao Zhijian had been developing for more than two months, so it should have been impossible for him to be utterly crushed.

Therefore, Lu Wu was particularly surprised.

While Lu Wu was merely surprised, on Hao Zhijian's side, it was utter disbelief.

"It's impossible, this can't be happening!

There must be a problem, there has to be!"

At this moment, Hao Zhijian was embodying disbelief and hysterical frenzy.

This wasn't his script; he shouldn't be the one falling here.

"You must have cheated, my Frozen Bird couldn't possibly lose!

Just a mere goblin, how could it possibly defeat my Frozen Bird!"

"Impossible?"

Team 035's captain, Zhang Yunkai, raised the corner of his mouth, "Seems like you're not convinced by your defeat. Want another chance?"

Zhang Yunkai's words stunned everyone, including Hao Zhijian, who hadn't expected such a proposition.

Faced with this situation, he hesitated only a second before nodding his head.

"It was a fluke, this time it was a fluke, I was careless. If we start over, I won't lose again!"

As he uttered these words, the faces of the audience that initially supported him grew unnatural.

Such words on the battlefield were particularly shameless.

He was careless? Were those teams swept away by the pig-bird tactic not careless, too?

The battlefield never compensates for one's carelessness.

Although Hao Zhijian's defeat was unexpected, they preferred to see him accept his loss gracefully rather than this current attitude.

But clearly, that was not possible.

Hao Zhijian wouldn't settle for that, he wouldn't want to see himself stopped here.

Neither did his opponent, Zhang Yunkai, who had no intention of letting Hao Zhijian off so easily.

"Alright, if so, then let's do it again, release his bird!"

At the same time, the goblin on the platform let go of the Frozen Bird.

Hao Zhijian was elated, "This time, I won't be careless, and I won't lose again!"

This time he resolved that no matter what, he would make the Frozen Bird kite the goblin to death.

However, just as the Frozen Bird took off and shot a wave of Ice Needles at the goblin, a gust of wind swept in, scattering the Ice Needles – it was the Big-Mouthed Skylark entering the fray.

Hao Zhijian's face changed, "Didn't we agree on a one-on-one?"

Zhang Yunkai laughingly replied, "It is one-on-one, it's just that this time your opponent is this one!

What, just now calling for a one-on-three, and now you're not okay with a different opponent?"

Hao Zhijian's expression darkened, and he defiantly said, "Who said I can't handle it? As long as I'm not careless, I won't lose even in a one-on-three. Frozen Bird, attack, use Ice Needle, and shoot that wretched bird down."

The Frozen Bird shot out its Ice Needles just as the other side issued an instruction.

"Big-Mouthed Skylark, use Airflow Acceleration!"

The Big-Mouthed Skylark's body surged with the current, its speed erupting as it raced towards the Frozen Bird, and the surging airflow directly knocked the Ice Needles away.

Hao Zhijian's face changed again, "Frozen Bird, use Ice Shield!"

"Stupid!"

As he issued this command, Lu Wu and many others in the arena spat out these two words.

It was the worst possible response.

See, before the Ice Shield could even form, the Big-Mouthed Skylark had already come over to easily Tear through the Ice Shield, then firmly grasped the neck of the Frozen Bird with its claws, diving down.

With a "boom," the Frozen Bird was trampled onto the arena floor, facing its second defeat.

He had lost again!

This time, Hao Zhijian was utterly baffled.

He stared at the Frozen Bird pinned to the ground and couldn't recover for a while, turning the thought over and over in his mouth.

"How can this be, how is this possible..."

Zhang Yunkai smiled again, "What do you think, want to give you another chance?"

Humiliation, this was sheer humiliation!

"I do!"

In the end, Hao Zhijian gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

As he nodded, 035 once again set the Frozen Bird free.

And in the moment the Frozen Bird was released, Hao Zhijian shouted furiously at his two new teammates.

"What are you dazing for? Get on with it, annihilate them!"

Clearly, Hao Zhijian had completely given up on one-on-one combat, placing all his hope in team tactics.

This was his only hope for victory.

He knew it looked bad, but he didn't care anymore; he did not want to stop here, absolutely not!

At Hao Zhijian's command, Squad 233 erupted.

The Hedgehog Pig used "Thorny Rain" to constrain movement, the Frozen Bird unleashed a wide-ranging "Cold Aura" to seize control, and finally, the Fire Lizard roared a Fireball.

This set of tactics, a modification of the original Pig-Bird tactic, was Hao Zhijian's own creation, and he felt it was stronger than the original.

However, there was a problem with his so-called stronger tactic right from the start.

The Big-Mouthed Skylark directly countered with "Wind Pressure," blowing both "Thorny Rain" and "Cold Aura" back, while at the same time, Zhang Yunkai's Cave People and Lin Jianying's goblin pounced.

The two Summoned Beasts struck together, instantly knocking the charged-up Fire Lizard out of the arena.

After that, the Cave People easily took down Hedgehog Pig with a "Boomerang," and almost at the same time, the Big-Mouthed Skylark had also captured the Frozen Bird.

The sides clashed for only a moment before Hao Zhijian tasted defeat once more.

And this time, he was utterly defeated, the kind without any chance of recovery.

Over at 035, Zhang Yunkai, who had easily beaten his opponent, smirked and mockingly said, "How about it, the great Hao Zhijian who said 'Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west,' want me to give you another chance?"

At this moment, Hao Zhijian's face turned ashen, and he didn't dare to utter another unnecessary word; he didn't even have the courage to nod anymore.

Watching Hao Zhijian, who had been overcome by defeat, Zhang Yunkai who had been holding back for over a month, finally had his moment of exultation.

"Thirty years on the east, thirty years on the west, what nonsense!

Mr. Ye was right to not want you, you trash simply don't deserve to be in our company.

You're even worse than Lu Wu and the others; although they're trash too, at least they have some self-awareness, unlike you who are trash and overestimate yourself!"

As these words hit home, Hao Zhijian, who had already shut down, was stimulated once more.

"Don't compare me with that coward!

Yes, I'm not as good as you guys, but at least I have the courage to stand in the arena and battle with you all, unlike that coward hiding in a dark corner, shivering with fear."

This upset Lu Wu.

Damn it, if you're going to tear into each other, leave me out of it!

What made Lu Wu frown even more was that.

The organizer with ulterior motives switched the cameras at that moment, and Lu Wu and his companions appeared on the big screen.

This left the Little Skeleton, who had been watching the big screen, utterly astonished.

It was on TV!!!
