Skeleton’s Training Manual - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: 058 The Egoistic Hao Zhijian

The organizers of the Quancheng Cup had basically made up their minds to use Lu Wu’s team to gain publicity for the competitions.

In this case, the organizers would of course make some intentional arrangements.

At least, they must ensure that Lu Wu’s team would not be eliminated before encountering Ye Qingxue’s ace team.

For the organizers, this was not too difficult, so very soon the arrangements for Lu Wu’s team were all in place.

Therefore, the following matches for Lu Wu’s team began to get a little boring.

Basically, as long as it was Lu Wu’s matches, their opponents were either truly rubbish or seemed to be very strong but was actually rubbish.

And before each game, the Quancheng Cup would publicize in advance.

In this regard, the organizers had done extremely well.

In each warm-up publicizing, the team that Lu Wu would encounter would be depicted as if they were the BOSS team, and their battle with Lu Wu was as if they were the last one in the Quancheng Cup.

But every time, Lu Wu’s team would defeat them in a landslide victory.

Through this kind of shady and dramatic competitions, Lu Wu’s teams passed the preliminaries easily.

This made Lu Wu particularly depressed.

This was not the kind of battle he wanted!

They wouldn’t gain any experience in battles like this!

This kind of continuous and easy victories, coupled with the organizer’s constant publicizing, could easily make a person’s ego inflate.

Lu Wu’s ego didn’t inflate, because he truly knew the gap between himself and Ye Qingxue’s trump card ace team.

Lu Wu got their attributes more than a month ago.

Each one of them was at least on par with the current Tuan Tuan, or even stronger, and that was a month ago.

Lu Wu had also watched their recent games. Although he didn’t get to touch their summoned beasts, Lu Wu could still tell they were a lot stronger.

If they really had to face the ace team of Ye Qingxue, they had no hope of victory.

Since he knew this, Lu Wu’s ego couldn’t inflate.

As for Tutu, she had always been soft-tempered, and she already had a chubby physique which could not inflate any further.

Though Lu Wu’s and Tutu’s ego didn’t inflate, Hao Zhijian’s did.

Gaining successive victories, coupled with the official websites’ reports that depicted him and his Frozen Bird as the new stars of the game, made him feel like he was really something.

He now thought that it was him who led the team all the way to victory!

This was why the way he called Lu Wu had changed from the respectful Brother Lu to a casual Lu Wu during the past few days.

Wasn’t that so? In the Quancheng Cup arena, Lu Wu was suffering from a headache. They were about to start their first game in the official matches, but this guy, who now had a superiority complex, came over.

“Lu Wu, let me tell you something. After I win the game, I won’t be staying to continue training with you. If my dad calls and asks, just tell him that I am training here.”

Hearing this, Lu Wu’s eyes narrowed.

“Today’s match is the official one, and our opponent is Team 023, which is also a seed team. How are you so confident that we will win?”

“That’s for sure! I’m so… uh, we are so strong, we only have one opponent in the Quancheng Cup, and the rest are all rubbish! Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to defeat them all in just one wave of attacks later during the game!”

This bastard had really become quite egoistic lately.

Seeing him like this, Lu Wu was very infuriated. He regretted that he hadn’t punished this guy during the past few days as he was too busy attending to other things and accidentally allowed his ego to inflate so much.

At the same time, he felt that it was a pity that they were not in a suitable location, or he would have beaten him up right away.

Today was the first day of the official Quancheng Cup contest.

Starting from today, the Quancheng Cup would be open to spectators, and Lu Wu’s team, as the “star” team that had been created by the organizing team of the Quancheng Cup, had received the most attention.

The spectator area in their arena was full of people, and the live broadcast of them was also the most popular on the official website.

Under such circumstances, Lu Wu obviously couldn’t beat him up.

Since he couldn’t beat him, Lu Wu also didn’t bother to argue with him, so he decided to endure it first and wait until after they go back after the game.

But Lu Wu’s tolerance only made Hao Zhijian’s ego to inflate even more.

He felt that he had indeed rose up. Lu Wu, who used to show off in front of him, now did not even dare to speak loudly in front of him.

This scene was seen by someone, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up into a smirk.

“This team doesn’t seem to be that harmonious! That’s very interesting.”

There was actually not just one person who noticed this, but this was not something they were concerned with.

Compared to this, they were more concerned about the battle that followed.

During Lu Wu’s preliminaries before this, because of the shady arrangements by the organizers, Lu Wu’s team basically had not fought any difficult battles.

Today’s battle could be considered the first more challenging battle that Lu Wu’s team would be facing after their unexpected victory. Therefore, many people had come to watch the battle, and even Ye Qingxue’s special class students came as a team.

The three students sitting in the front row of the spectator area were the students of Ye Qingxue’s special class.

Because their sitting positions were particularly conspicuous right in the front row, Hao Zhijian, who was once a special class student for a single day, recognized them at a glance.

When he saw the trio, the expression on his face changed for a while, and finally the corner of his mouth was raised and his expression turned arrogant as he stuck out his thumb to the three of them, and then he flipped it over provocatively. This made the faces of the three originally calm special class students turn grave.

Just as they were about to respond, Lu Wu’s team’s first official game began.

“It’s time for the match. The participants and summoned beasts, please get in place!”

Hearing this instruction, Lu Wu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

“Let’s go!”

Saying this, Lu Wu was about to lead the team, but he found that Hao Zhijian had already passed him one step ahead, and even extended out his hand to the captain of Team 023 in front of him.

The captain of Team 023, Li Yi, was taken aback. Shaking hands before the game was what the two teams’ captains should do, but he remembered that this guy was not the captain!

But he turned his head and glanced at Lu Wu who was following him, and Li Yi finally reached out his hand to hold Hao Zhijian’s and deliberately said, “Captain Hao, I have been paying attention to your pig-bird tactics for a long time. They are extremely powerful. Please be merciful on us!”

Then, he directly ignored Lu Wu, clearly an act of face slapping.

Such behavior made Tutu very angry, but Hao Zhijian didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. The egoistic Hao Zhijian nodded. “We’ll be easy on you…”

As for Lu Wu, he was not angry at this time.

There was nothing to be angry about. If the opponent was not well-behaved, he would punish them on the ring. And if his teammate was overly egoistic, he would punish him at a suitable location after the game!

At this time, Lu Wu focused more on the three summoned beasts of Team 023.

Looking at the summoned beasts that were already in their positions on the ring, Lu Wu narrowed his eyes and recalled the information of the three summoned beasts.

“Swamp monster, slime, and paralyzing moth, they’re all weird summoned beasts!”
