    “Frankly, I don’t understand it,” Dark Wind admitted, as he often did when he didn’t understand a situation. Everyone liked his style ofmentating as they felt like they could rte to him. For this reason, he was very popr among the ordinary yers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been asked tomentate on the championship.


    “Perhaps Lu Li is using up Master Huang’s skills and special effects for the next yer,” Four Seas Dragon suggested, though he didn’t seem to believe it.


    “That can’t be right. Has Lu Li already given up?” Dark Wind couldn’t believe it.


    “Then maybe Lu Li thinks that he has more tricks up his sleeve?”


    Four Seas Dragon thought that this was the only remaining conclusion. This was quite possible as Lu Li had acquired so many First Clears with his team. His equipment had to be better than Master Huang’s as he had not invested much in the game and was a professional youth camp training instructor.


    “Lu Li does have the upper hand, but I can’t see his advantage here,” Dark Wind said pessimistically.


    The people would be happy to see a strong figure be defeated. Right now, Lu Li was not that strong figure – it was the youth training camp instructor Master Huang. He had enjoyed many years of fame in the gaming circle and everyone respected him, but they still subconsciously wanted to see him lose.


    “Master Huang’s defense is very tight, so Cheap Shot can’t be sessfully cast onto him. It is also difficult to deal a lot of damage to him. Once Master Huang takes the lead, Lu Li will be hard pressed to stand up to him even if he has a lot of HP,” Four Seas Dragon said.


    “Wait...,” Dark Wind suddenly cried out.


    Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw what was happening. They could clearly see that Lu Li was summoning something behind Master Huang – a wolf!


    Master Huang looked back and didn’t see anything, because the wolf that Lu Li had summoned was actually invisible. Thispletely changed everyone’s perspective, but now the question was how the wolf was going to be used to attack Master Huang.


    The wolf had to be quite strong, and everyone was looking forward seeing it in action.


    “Please, have you summoned me to die again? That guy looks quite strong, especially with that big axe. He’s definitely going to chop me in half. I might as well just fall over and die now. What’s the point of all this if I’m just going to die anyway? I’m going to haunt your ancestors if you do this,” Silly Husky babbled on. Fortunately, he didn’t need to make any sounds tomunicate with Lu Li.


    Lu Li didn’t bother talking to him, as he didn’t want to stoop down to his level.


    Silly Husky reluctantly approached Master Huang and hoped that he wouldn’t be detected. However, he quickly noticed that Lu Li had already circled to the other side. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a pet, or else he would have immediately betrayed Lu Li to work with Master Huang so they could kill Lu Li a hundred times over.


    Under the coercion of the System and Lu Li’s ownership, Silly Husky had no choice but to follow his instructions.


    Master Huang patiently waited for Lu Li’s approach. From Lu Li’s constant harassment, it was clear that Lu Li wasn’t a passive yer. Young people tended to have a lot of energy, regardless of how calm they looked.


    He’sing!


    Master Huang’s lips couldn’t help but curl in anticipation.


    Earthquake!


    Master Huang thought that he had finally caught Lu Li. He breathed a sigh of relief before turning around and attacking.


    There was an exmation in the audience, and it wasn’t because Master Huang had hit Lu Li. In fact, Master Huang only revealed the wolf. They eximed because a dagger had appeared behind Master Huang’s head.


    “So this is what he was doing,” Four Seas Dragon muttered.


    “It wasn’t the most clever move, but it was probably the most effective way of dealing with Master Huang. First, he used up all his skills and when he was near his limit, Lu Li chose to send in his minion,” Dark Wind said quickly.


    “Damn you! If you want to chop me then I’ll bite you!” Silly Husky cried out.


    This summon had apletely different demeanour to his owner’s low-profile style. Lu Li had once discussed with him some tactics that they could make use of, and he had been waiting for a long time to show them off.


    It was already shocking enough that a pet could talk, but it was even more surprising that it could insult you.


    After Lu Li crowd-controlled Master Huang, he immediately went into an attacking frenzy. Although he couldn’t deal that much damage because of the te Armour, his target was standing still so a number of special effects were applied. There was a Stun, Armour Pierce, and Bleed effect that were all applied one after another.


    When he acquired fivebo points, he cast Kidney Shot as well.


    Master Huang could only reduce the amount of HP his was losing, as he didn’t have much control beyond that. He couldn’t even kick away the wolf that was biting into his thigh.


    “It seems like Lu Li’s Skill Completion is very high. I didn’t expect it to be so high. It seems like he has quite a bit of potential,” Four Seas Dragon sighed. “This is a neer who had just entered six months ago today. This is just unadulterated talent and I have no way of hiding my jealousy.”


    There have been many discussions on whether Lu Li was actually a neer.


    However, as Lu Li continued on his road of bing a professional yer, which meant epting a number of media interviews, no one had ever used him of making fake ounts. After all, everyone knew most other people in the gaming circle and they hadn’t seen this master before.


    There were still some people that suspected that he wasn’t ying the game for the first time, but what did that matter? It wasn’t important that it wasn’t his first time if he was about to fight the likes of Master Huang in a matter of months. Jealously was the only response when Four Seas Dragon made such an observation.


    Talent was not something that could be trivialised either. If you looked at how quickly yers like Lu Li and March Rain grew, it was clear the crucial role that talent yed.


    In fact, Sorrowless, Water Fairy and many other professional yers were also quite talented. Most of them were just short of being geniuses, and would just need to spend more time training.


    On the other hand, apletely talentless yer could never be a master no matter how much work they put in.


    Although yers like Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream were well-integrated into themunity, no one would ever treat them as masters.
