    Chapter 272

    Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

    Whether they had felt painfully slow or astonishingly fast, time continued moving forward regardless.

    Today marked the official start of the second round of the World Summoner All-Star Tournament.

    The 256 summoners who had survived the preliminary round gathered in the largest arena in Shengshi City.

    This round would determine the strongest sixteen.

    Over the course of four elimination rounds, 240 competitors would be knocked out, leaving only sixteen summoners qualified to advance to the next stage.

    The moment the matches began, Su Hao immediately noticed the difference.

    Compared to the preliminary rounds, the standard here was on an entirely different level.

    Almost every one of the remaining summoners possessed their own distinctive style of controlling summoned beasts.

    Watching their battles felt less like watching a fight and more like appreciating an elegant performance.

    There were no reckless charges.

    No mindless brawls.

    Every attack followed a rhythm.

    Every movement carried purpose.

    Each summoned beast was like a chess piece under perfect control, while the summoners themselves resembled grandmasters locked in an intense game of chess.

    They constantly probed each other's defenses, searching patiently for the smallest weakness before launching a decisive strike.

    It reminded Su Hao of professional League of Legends tournaments from his previous life.

    One side would patiently wait for an opening.

    The instant an opportunity appeared...

    The killing blow followed immediately, leaving no room for escape.

    The difference was that these summoners controlled over a dozen summoned beasts simultaneously.

    The sheer complexity was astonishing.

    Even Su Hao had to admit...

    These people had refined the art of commanding summoned beasts to an extraordinary level.

    He could hardly find any flaws in their control.

    They truly deserved the title of world-class summoners.

    Fortunately...

    He had his own specialty.

    Absolute strength.

    When faced with enough power...

    There was no need for complicated tactics.

    Just charge forward...

    And crush everything.

    As for his own control skills...

    Well...

    Since he wasn't competing in technique, there was no point comparing.


    ---

    Before long, it was Su Hao's turn.

    The arena used in the second round was far larger than those from the preliminaries.

    Several thousand spectators filled the stands.

    The moment Su Hao stepped onto the stage, deafening cheers erupted throughout the arena.

    His opponent was a young man wearing black-framed glasses.

    He calmly walked onto the summoner's platform, adjusted his glasses, and began summoning his beasts one after another.

    A Red-Haired War Elephant.

    A Fire-Tailed Lion.

    Then several flying summoned beasts, including a Sharp-Beaked Winged Dragon and a Swift-Winged Iron Bird.

    It was obvious.

    His opponent had thoroughly studied every one of Su Hao's previous matches.

    The young man smiled confidently.

    "So you're Bai Jingzhong."

    "Let's see how you deal with complete aerial suppression."

    The battle began.

    The Fire-Tailed Lion immediately leapt onto the back of the Red-Haired War Elephant as the enormous beast charged forward.

    At the same time, the lion continuously spat streams of corrosive acid across the battlefield.

    Long trails of liquid quickly covered the arena.

    Meanwhile, every flying summoned beast soared into the air.

    The Sharp-Beaked Winged Dragon opened its jaws and sprayed venom downward.

    Within moments, the battlefield had been divided into numerous sections by intersecting lines of acid and poison.

    Su Hao watched quietly, curious about what his opponent intended.

    With a thought, the Destruction King Snow Wolf and the Mad Demon White Rabbit charged forward, aiming directly at the Red-Haired War Elephant and the Fire-Tailed Lion.

    The plan was simple.

    Break through with overwhelming force and eliminate the opponent's core summoned beasts first.

    The young man merely smiled.

    He snapped his fingers.

    The Fire-Tailed Lion suddenly spat out a tiny spark.

    The spark landed on the acid-covered ground.

    Boom!

    Blue flames instantly erupted.

    They raced along every trail of acid like burning rivers, dividing the battlefield into countless blazing squares.

    The Snow Wolf and the White Rabbit suddenly found themselves separated by walls of fire.

    The young man immediately directed every flying summoned beast to dive from above.

    Only then did Su Hao understand.

    A smile slowly appeared on his face.

    "So that's your strategy."

    "You intentionally prepared a lineup focused almost entirely on flying summoned beasts."

    "That avoids direct contact with the Slaughter King."

    "Then you used the Fire-Tailed Lion to divide the battlefield, forcing my summoned beasts to fight separately."

    "The flames also suppress the Control King."

    As he spoke, Su Hao gently sniffed the air.

    "And the smell..."

    "So the Red-Haired War Elephant wasn't just carrying the lion."

    "It was spraying gasoline."

    The flames became even fiercer.

    Several of Su Hao's summoned beasts were indeed restricted.

    The Control King.

    The Shadow King.

    The Abnormal King.

    The Slaughter King.

    Their abilities were greatly limited inside the sea of fire.

    Su Hao couldn't help smiling.

    "The summoners of this world really are clever."

    "But..."

    "They're still a little too naïve."

    His Sky Kings...

    His Eject King...

    And his Destruction King...

    Were completely unaffected.

    Su Hao clenched his hand.

    The Destruction King Snow Wolf threw back its head and howled.

    "Awooooo—"

    Its muscles expanded explosively.

    Its body rapidly grew until it exceeded ten meters in length.

    Then it launched itself into the air toward the diving birds.

    The Mad Demon White Rabbit also let out a furious roar.

    Its body expanded to nearly ten meters before it bent its legs.

    Boom!

    The ground shattered.

    Both gigantic beasts shot skyward like cannonballs.

    The young man with glasses instantly paled.

    "This is bad!"

    He hurriedly ordered every flying summoned beast to retreat.

    Too late.

    The Snow Wolf caught the Swift-Winged Iron Bird in midair.

    Its jaws closed around the bird's neck.

    Crunch!

    Without slowing down, the enormous wolf crashed back onto the battlefield.

    Boom!

    Its massive body landed directly atop the Red-Haired War Elephant.

    The entire arena shook.

    Sensing danger, the Fire-Tailed Lion instinctively ignored its master's commands and leapt away.

    At almost the same moment, the White Rabbit's enormous fist slammed into the Sharp-Beaked Winged Dragon.

    The dragon was sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground.

    Within a single exchange...

    The young man's side had already lost two flying summoned beasts.

    No...

    Three.

    After crushing the Swift-Winged Iron Bird, the Snow Wolf immediately lunged forward again, tearing a massive wound across the War Elephant's throat.

    Blood sprayed across the battlefield.

    The Sky King Colorful Mountain Phoenix and the Sky King Red-Cheeked Messenger Bird immediately soared into the sky, pursuing the remaining flying summoned beasts.

    At the same time...

    The Eject King Ring-Horned Antelope vanished from sight.

    A straight passage suddenly appeared through the blazing flames.

    Slash!

    The Fire-Tailed Lion's throat was sliced nearly in half.

    Its body collapsed onto the ground.

    Only then did the Ring-Horned Antelope quietly appear nearby.

    Fresh blood still dripped from its razor-sharp horns.

    The young man lowered his head unwillingly.

    He knew the battle was over.

    Continuing would only result in even greater losses.

    With a sigh...

    He pressed the surrender button.

    The entire arena exploded with applause.

    There was always a debate among spectators.

    Some preferred elegant battles built upon precise control and tactical brilliance.

    Others loved overwhelming displays of raw power.

    Perhaps neither style was superior.

    As long as the fight was exciting...

    That was enough.

    Today's match had once again refreshed everyone's understanding of the Destruction King Snow Wolf.

    Countless competing summoners lowered their heads, silently asking themselves the same question.

    If I faced Bai Jingzhong...

    How could I possibly win?

    If Su Hao had heard their thoughts, he probably would have laughed.

    "There's no need to think so hard."

    "Surrendering immediately is your best option."

    "Otherwise, all you'll accomplish is losing your summoned beasts."

    Still...

    Today's battle also made Su Hao slightly more cautious.

    His opponents might not possess summoned beasts as powerful as his evolved beasts...

    But their minds were exceptionally sharp.

    Just like today's opponent.

    By cleverly using gasoline and flames, he had successfully limited the abilities of several of Su Hao's strongest summoned beasts.

    Fortunately...

    Su Hao still had plenty of hidden cards.

    He chuckled to himself.

    "Whenever my opponents think they've finally discovered my weakness..."

    "I'll simply reveal another trump card."

    "And if they somehow manage to uncover every card in my hand..."

    "Then I'll just flip over the table and start an entirely different game."

    It resembled high-level League of Legends matches—hesitate to strike and leave no room once the attack is initiated.

    Poke, then commit everything when you fully engage, or back out when you get a good trade and don't have anything else.

    What the hell happened to the story? This pokemon world is just idiotic, and the story's awful to the point that it doesn't even feel like the same author or novel. Everything happening is dumb as hell, from a tournament where people kill off their ultrarare pokemon to business guy sending an assassin after MC.

    It's so f#cking bad, but it feels even worse because the early chapters were so good. What a letdown.

      its true mc doesnt have an anchored purpose than gathering knowledge, make the pinball anchor permanent, and attain godhood.

      unfortunately MC isnt taking the fast and practical approach but the natural and habitat accepted form of growth. Enemies alsi escalated to kingdom come after 1 encounter. seriously? senator assassinates a 10 yr old genius after he said no to being his puppet once?

      mc shouldve track down tbe kidnappers and steal there tech and commandeer their intelligence network. get fast knowledge quick n safe.

      I get your point, but the whole story has been like this. Don't act like the earlier chapters had better plot - they just had better translation. It has been, and will be a popcorn novel - turn off your brain and have fun.
