Chapter 305: 302 My son Zhen Tian has the makings of a Grandmaster!

Lu Wu finally made friends with Guzhentian as he wished.

Since he and Guzhentian were friends now, there was no need for those flamboyant tools of support between friends.

Lu Wu tossed aside all those messy tools.

The second round of the top 32 competition officially began.

Guzhentian, acting as the referee for this battle, seemed less composed and confident than yesterday, replaced by a sense of nervousness.

He hesitated momentarily when he would have normally strode confidently towards the stage.

“Don’t be nervous!”

“There’s nothing to be nervous about!”

“I was only defeated by the forces behind Lu Wu; I am still the strongest one!”

“The darkness before dawn is the deepest, but as long as I endure, I will see the light again!”

“Come on!”

As Guzhentian cheered himself up with these words,

his state gradually improved day by day.

He hadn’t recovered to the same level of dominance as yesterday, but at least his nervousness began to fade.

Ten minutes later, after trying his best to adjust his mindset, Guzhentian emerged from backstage.

After giving Lu Wu a bland glance,

Guzhentian began his duties.

“The second-round challenge of the top 32 will continue.

The rules are the same as yesterday. The contestants will challenge in the same order as yesterday, either individually or in groups of ten!”

Anyone could tell.

This speech was far from as imposing as yesterday’s.

Furthermore, following yesterday’s defeat, Guzhentian’s popularity had plummeted severely.

Some mocking voices could be faintly heard among the audience,

saying things like “acting tough again, be careful not to get slapped in the face.”

However, these were words that only the audience could say; almost none of the top 32 contestants dared to utter such remarks.

They had witnessed yesterday’s battle

and were well aware of Guzhentian’s power.

Although he was miserably defeated by Lu Wu and toyed with,

that was because his opponent was Lu Wu. If it were anyone else, at least among the current top 32, no one had the confidence to confront Guzhentian head-on.

So, after Guzhentian uttered the declaration with little confidence in himself,

one by one, ten people went up to the stage.

These ten were the contestants ordered from 11 to 20.

They tacitly chose to join forces against Guzhentian.

As the challengers entered the arena, Guzhentian called out his three Summoned Beasts.

After enduring a thrashing from Lu Wu the day before, Guzhentian spoke much less today.

After summoning his beasts, he calmly asked the ten contestants before him, “Are you all prepared?”

“Please enlighten us!” times ten

Upon their response, Guzhentian immediately announced,

“The challenge begins!”

Simple and to the point, the second round of the battle commenced.

The previously chattering audience fell silent at this moment, their eyes riveted on the stage.

As soon as the battle began, the contestants initiated the attack.

“Mist of Rain,” “Blinding Strike,” “Chaos,” “Weakness”…

The collaboration of these ten people from numbers 11 to 20 was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. The first wave of attacks was in perfect sync, focusing on control skills.

Moreover, the target was clear, as seven out of the ten control abilities were aimed directly at Guzhentian.

In an instant, the stage was shrouded in smoke and fog.

The audience lost all visibility, even unable to see where the contestants were.

The contestants, however, attacked the same spot amid the enveloping fog.

“Ice Cold Light,” “Fiery Flames Descent,” “Giant Stone Strike”…

Dozens of Advanced Skills bombarded one spot.

Clearly, there was someone among the contestants who was commanding the attack and that person had a clear vision.

Now, Guzhentian was in a passive state quite suddenly.

The arena where the contestants pointed was nearly demolished.

Seeing the terrifying momentum, many in the audience thought Guzhentian might fail again.

Even Gutian below the stage couldn’t help but clench his fists, his face pale as death.

At this moment, he was not the domineering Professional Center bigshot who had once given Lu Wu a hard time.

Instead, he was a father wholly concerned for his son’s well-being.

He had just managed to revive Guzhentian’s spirits, and if his son were to lose again, Gutian did not know what to do; Guzhentian might fall into decadence.

On Guzhentian’s side, as a contestant,

No one knew of Gutian’s concerns, and even if they did, it wouldn’t stop their attacks.

The decision to stand on this platform was made by Guzhentian himself.

Since he chose to stand here and wanted to suppress a generation alone, like Lu Wuyi, that pressure was his to bear.

No one was obliged to lay themselves at the feet of others as stepping stones.

Thus, they focused intently and gathered all their strength, relentlessly attacking Guzhentian.

Ten Senior Summoners, nearly attaining the power of Leader 3 stars, were crazily assaulting Guzhentian.

The might and the power were such that even regular Lord Level Summoned Beasts had to show their mettle, and it was a terrifying and powerful situation that, aside from the Han of Lu Wu’s house, nearly no Summoned Beasts would willingly withstand such an attack.

Naturally, Guzhentian was also unwilling.

But at that moment, he truly had no choice.

Yesterday’s defeat had somewhat affected his state today, and he had utterly failed to anticipate their coordination to be so perfect.

By the time he realized something was amiss, it was too late.

By now, it was too late for him to break free, and he could only barely hold on with the pig’s support.

But if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before he couldn’t hold on any longer.

At most, he could persist for another minute on his side, while his opponent wasn’t likely to relent after just a minute of bombardment.

Therefore, the situation at hand was almost certainly a lost cause for him.

“Am I really going to lose again?”

A deep sense of helplessness washed over him, and Guzhentian, unable to see any hope of victory, gradually started to entertain thoughts of giving up.

Having already lost twice, it seemed he no longer cared about losing once more.

However, just when Guzhentian was about to completely give up,

a roar filled with boundless pride resounded throughout the entire stadium.

“My son Zhen Tian has the makings of a Grandmaster!”

This sudden outburst made Guzhentian pause; he recognized the voice as that of his father,

the phrase he had been told countless times not to mention casually.

Normally, Gutian would avoid saying it in his presence, and to Guzhentian’s surprise, his father had shouted it out loud today in a public setting, especially under these circumstances, leaving Guzhentian feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

Yet, it seemed as if Gutian was completely unaware of his son’s feelings.

Far from resting on his laurels, he repeated the phrase again and again without stopping.

“My son Zhen Tian has the makings of a Grandmaster!”

“My son Zhen Tian has the makings of a Grandmaster!”

Roar after roar, from full of pride, to full of perseverance, to stubbornness, and then filled with expectations…

Guzhentian could hear the emotional changes in his father’s voice.

He also gradually realized that for Gutian, who was always concerned with face, it must have taken a lot of courage to do such a thing in front of so many people.

“What a headache of a father.

How can you make me give up like this?”

Guzhentian chuckled and shook his head with a grim determination in his eyes as he gently stroked the pig beside him, whispering softly, “We need to step it up, I don’t want to lose face for the old man at home!”

With this murmur from Guzhentian,

he completely abandoned the thought of giving up and his body’s energy burst forth with full force, trying to violently open a defense to create space for his Shanzhai Monkey to counterattack at home.

This momentary burst may have been a return to the light, but it didn’t hold; even he himself was nearly overwhelmed by the backlash due to insufficient power.

Just as his defense was about to fail, at the same time, the bodies of both the pig and the horse beside him exuded the aura of Lord Level, and simultaneously, a powerful force surged into Guzhentian’s body.

The powerful force allowed Guzhentian’s defense to surge with an incredible strength. On the stage, the fighters and Summoned Beasts engrossed in their attack were caught off guard and were pushed back by this thrust.

At the same time, the Shanzhai Monkey had its limbs freed, and with an extended staff, it swept once again, clearing all the remaining competitors off the stage.

This sudden twist stunned everyone.

The audience on the stage and the fighters beneath it were all dumbfounded.

Even Lu Wu, who was drinking milk tea next to Dudu, spat out a mouthful of milk tea.

He looked at Gutian with an incredulous face.

Lu Wu, who knew the situation on the stage best, had thought Guzhentian was about to lose, but who could have foreseen that after Gutian’s shout, Guzhentian’s inner cosmos would erupt?

What kind of situation was this?

In web novels, such treatment is reserved for the protagonist.

Could it be that Guzhentian was actually the protagonist in a web novel?

If that were the case, Lu Wu felt his own situation seemed a bit precarious.

Anxious, Xiao Lu hurriedly took out his phone and anonymously posted a message.

‘What should I do if I accidentally bullied the protagonist of a web novel several times?

Urgent, waiting online!’

Before Lu Wu’s post could get a response,

the smoke on the stage had already cleared away.

Guzhentian stood proudly atop the stage with his pig, horse, and monkey.

At this moment, his face swept clean of any despondency or unease from before, replaced by a tranquility even greater than the day before.

The moment he appeared, he flatly said, “Contestants No. 11 to No. 20 have failed. I invite all remaining contestants to come up to the stage.

Please don’t harbor any false hopes because thanks to those ten contestants, both of my Summoned Beasts have advanced to Lord.”

With these casual words, among the audience, those who were fans of Guzhentian were reignited once more.

Indeed, Guzhentian was the strongest!

And the most excited was none other than Gutian below the stage.

He stood rooted to the spot for a long time before finally coming to his senses, once again saying with immense pride, “My son Zhen Tian has the makings of a Grandmaster!”

Thus, the university tournament’s top 32 battle witnessed its second comeback since the start of the competition.

Guzhentian, who was completely knocked down yesterday,

proved himself once again to the world today with this battle.

Some even believed that if Guzhentian, now with all Lord Level beasts, were to fight Lu Wu once more, the one to lose this time would definitely be Lu Wu.

Of course, there were those who disagreed.

But whether in agreement or not, everyone’s attention was now focused in one direction.

As for the so-called top 32 competition,

nobody cared about it anymore.

No one thought there could be any more twists in this fight.

Without Lu Wu making a move, Guzhentian was unbeatable, wasn’t he?

Right?

Today’s second battle quickly began, with Guzhentian effortlessly defeating 13 contestants, leaving only the three from other regions who hadn’t yet taken action.

And the audience didn’t believe that these three, who hadn’t even summoned their beasts, would be a match for Guzhentian.

If nothing unexpected happened, this year’s university tournament was probably going to end like this.

Jiangnan University would take both first and second place, while the rest fought for rankings below the third position.

However, just as everyone had settled on the script,

the plot made a complete 180-degree turn.

When Guzhentian faced these three people, this genius who had dominated everyone except Lu Wu suddenly knelt down!

One of the three outsiders stepped forward, placed a foot on Guzhentian’s head and shook his head, “Is this the pinnacle of the younger generation from District 1? How should I put it? It’s particularly disappointing!”
