Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Feng Yulin shouted in the arena, "Hundred Schools League, Sky City Division, the first match will be between the Cloud Soaring Team from Golden Bell City and the Qilin Team from Sky City. Both sides, please prepare..."

Wang Xiao instructed, "Xiao Jian, you go up and take the lead. Victory is a must!"

Xiao Jian retorted angrily, "Damn it! You provoked them yourself, why don't you go up! And saying 'victory is a must,' are you messing with me! I'm not going!"

Wang Xiao said leisurely, "It's fine if you don't go! If you disobey the captain's orders, after the match, I'll ask Teacher Cang to throw you into the sewers to pickle for a few days. Maybe you'll come out as 'Little Salted Meat'!"

Damn it!

Xiao Jian gritted his teeth!

But Wang Xiao was the captain, and he could suppress him at this time, so he had no choice.

"Fine! I'll go!"

Xiao Jian's eyes were very cold, but Wang Xiao didn't care. He secretly released a Dream-Eating Worm and gave Xiao Jian a Dream Seed. If this Xiao Jian was honest, it would be fine, but if he dared to make any small moves, he could expect to have nightmares for the rest of his life!

On the other side, the captain of the Qilin Team, Tian Bodang, said angrily, "I'll go first. I must challenge Wang Xiao's entire team!"

A teammate beside him advised, "Captain, I should go first! What if Wang Xiao sends two people to exhaust you first? Then you'll be in danger! For safety's sake, let's stick to the most stable formation. You'll be in the third position!"

Tian Bodang calmed down and felt it was better to be cautious, nodding, "Okay, Li Gen, you go first. Don't hold back. Beat Wang Xiao's team to death! But if Wang Xiao goes first, leave him to me!"

Li Gen nodded, "Captain, don't worry, I know what to do!"

At this moment, Feng Yulin's voice came out, "Match time is approaching. Please have the referees and players from both sides enter the arena!"

Two middle-aged men immediately flew onto the arena. These two were referees sent by the Academy Alliance, responsible for officiating and ensuring the safety of the students.

During the match, if a player from either side is in mortal danger, the referee will step in to save them, but the person being saved will lose the match!

After the referees entered the arena, one person from each side walked onto the stage. Xiao Jian, wearing a red team uniform, and Li Gen, wearing a blue team uniform!

The two stood on opposite sides of the arena, facing each other from afar.

With an order from the referee, a protective formation rose on the arena.

The players on both sides also released their respective spiritual gu.

Wang Xiao had seen Xiao Jian's spiritual gu before: three gold-grade gu and three silver-grade gu.

Feng Yulin acted as the commentator, saying, "Okay, both sides have released their respective spiritual gu! Let's take a look at the red side first. The first player for the red team is called Xiao Jian, also a handsome young man, though far from being as handsome as yours truly... Well, Xiao Jian's spiritual gu are three gold and three silver. This lineup is not bad. His combination of three gold gu is also quite sophisticated: a Sand Scorpion Gu for offense, a Stone Scale Lizard Gu for defense, and a flying Bloodsucking Midge for sneak attacks. Not a bad combination! Let's take a look at the blue side's player, Li Gen. Uh, Xiao Jian might be in a bit of trouble...!"

Because of the arena's formation, Feng Yulin's words could only be heard by people outside the arena. The players competing inside the arena could not hear them!

Li Gen's main spiritual gu was a gold-grade Mantis, its entire body emerald green, with two huge scythe-shaped arm blades raised high, gleaming with a thrilling cold light!

Along with the Mantis, a black snail was released!

Feng Yulin explained, "On Li Gen's side, only two spiritual gu have been released, it seems he is very confident in these two! Let's take a look. Oh, this handsome big Mantis, if I'm not mistaken, it is the famous 'Verdant Blade Mantis,' a spiritual gu known for its speed, agility, and terrifying attack power! The other spiritual gu is also not simple. It is the extremely defensively powerful 'Black Iron Snail'..."

This Black Iron Snail was also a gold-grade gu! Its only advantage was its extremely strong defensive ability, and its biggest disadvantage was its extremely slow speed!

Li Gen only released two spiritual gu.

However, Wang Xiao didn't think he only had these two gold-grade gu. He had heard Cang Haikong say that the three teams in Sky City each had members with deep backgrounds and Purple Jade spiritual gu in hand!

Since Li Gen hadn't released a Purple Jade gu yet, Wang Xiao thought there were two possibilities: one was that he was very confident and felt there was no need to use a Purple Jade gu; the other was that his Purple Jade gu, like Yan Ruoyun's Phoenix Tail Mirage Butterfly, had already been refined into a natal gu and didn't need to be released to exert its combat power!

The battle began!

Xiao Jian relied on his numerical advantage in spiritual gu and launched an attack first!

He left the Stone Scale Lizard to protect himself, and then released all his other spiritual gu to besiege Li Gen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his spiritual gu set off, he felt a flash of green light in front of him, and the Verdant Blade Mantis appeared before him, and then...

Then there was no then!

Xiao Jian was rescued by the referee.

Wang Xiao was speechless watching from outside the arena. Was this Xiao Jian an idiot? He didn't even put up a shield before fighting!

Look at Li Gen, the Black Iron Snail put a shield on Li Gen at the first moment.

Xiao Jian's Stone Scale Lizard also had defensive skills. If he had put on Stone Scale Armor first, he could have at least blocked two attacks and waited for his other spiritual gu to rescue him!

But he foolishly sent out his spiritual gu to attack, while the Stone Scale Lizard was lying at his feet, without any movement!

As a result, Li Gen's Mantis instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Xiao Jian, slashing down with its blade. If the referee hadn't been conscientious and rescued him in time, Xiao Jian would have been cut into two pieces, not even knowing how he died!

You should know that many high-quality spiritual gu have displacement skills!

For example, Wang Xiao's Rhinoceros Beetle has a charge. Although the distance looks far, it can actually reach the enemy in less than a second!

Yan Ruoyun's Phoenix Tail Mirage Butterfly can also move at light speed in a short period of time!

Li Gen's Blood Emerald Mantis obviously also has a similar displacement skill!

Feng Yulin's voice sounded, "Match over, Qilin Team's Li Gen wins!"

A chorus of boos came from the audience, obviously feeling it wasn't exciting enough and dissatisfied with the match.

The arena's formation was deactivated. At this time, Li Gen hadn't yet retracted the Verdant Blade Mantis into its aperture, and Wang Xiao's system promptly scanned the Mantis's data:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Gu Species: Verdant Blade Mantis

Quality: Gold

Level: Two (15%)

Attribute: Nature

Skills:

① Ambush: Instantly appears near the target, traversing a certain distance;

② Swift Kill: Slashes at the enemy with extreme speed and then retreats;

③ Twin Blade Massacre: Continuously slashes at the enemy with both blades, often chopping them into a pile of minced meat!

④ Verdant Camouflage: The Verdant Blade Mantis can camouflage itself as a plant, making it difficult to detect!

Potential: Two Stars

[Evaluation: Mantises are the most terrifying assassins in nature! They often lie in ambush through camouflage, and once they find an opportunity, they will deliver a fatal blow to the target!]

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Hmm!

An assassin-type spiritual gu!

This Verdant Blade Mantis is not bad!

Wang Xiao remembered that he also had a "Blood Shadow Blade Mantis" Gu refinement stone tablet, which could be used to refine an orange crystal quality Mantis.

Unfortunately, two kinds of Gu refinement materials have not been found so far. He had originally entrusted the Wan Clan Merchant Guild, but since he opened the Soaring Cloud Tower, the Wan Clan Merchant Guild no longer accepted Wang Xiao's business. Therefore, the materials for refining the Blood Shadow Blade Mantis have not been gathered.

A mere gold-quality Mantis gu is so powerful, if the Blood Shadow Blade Mantis is refined, it would probably be another great weapon!

Wang Xiao decided that after this Hundred Schools League, he would find a way to refine the Blood Shadow Blade Mantis.
