Description: This is an extremely terrifying Wild Bull; it is probably best not to anger it.

…

This is the attribute of Li Kui’s bull.

The word "terrifying" is not sufficient to describe it; it is exceptionally terrifying.

Its combat power can completely compare with 002’s Little Griffin, or even more terrifying.

Although this bull might not necessarily win in a fight, if Little Skeleton were to face it, the defense formed by Little Skeleton’s pigs would likely be broken in the first round.

One ordinary member’s power is comparable to the captain of an ace team; one can imagine just how fearsome 044 truly is.

Honestly, Lu Wu did not have much confidence in taking down 044.

But thinking of the gains after taking down 044, Lu Wu’s energy surged, and he yelled at Tuantuan on the stage, who was in no hurry.

"Tuantuan, did you enjoy the soup yesterday? If you win this match, you can have it every day, but if you lose, you’ll have to be ridden by Little Skeleton day after day."

Carrot and stick!

An old trick, but it works wonders on this pig.

The pig, who was initially lethargic and even a bit scared, perked up immediately upon hearing this.

It nodded its head bit by bit in agreement.

Tuantuan got it; Tuantuan will try hard!

Done, and with a pair of eyes, it stared at the bull in front of it, which was vastly bigger than its non-giant form, trying to tell its opponent with its eyes that it was very strong.

The bull on the opposite side, however, indicated that pigs’ eyes were too small—it didn’t see anything.

"Both sides ready, begin the match!"

With the referee’s command, the battle between pig and bull commenced.

The bull opposite them snorted loudly through its nostrils and kicked back twice, charging immediately.

Tuantuan also initiated Giant on the spot, spreading its legs and charging forward.

With a "boom," the bull and pig collided violently; the pig was instantly knocked back several meters by the bull.

Evidently, in a confrontation of pure strength, the pig was no match for the bull.

But the pig had other advantages; realizing its lack of strength, it immediately activated Gravity, imposing it on the opponent bull.

At the highest tenfold gravity suddenly bearing down, the bull felt a heavy weight on its body.

Tuantuan seized the opportunity, launching an Earth Thorn directly.

A thick Earth Thorn sprouted from the ground, aiming for the bull’s lower region.

This move was something the pig learned from a previous encounter with a wolf.

Unable to avoid under the gravity, the bull took a solid hit.

Even though the bull’s defense was terrifying, this strike wasn’t just any strike; it caused pain to the bull, a definite pain.

This bull was a male.

Though it didn’t break the skin, the pain was real.

And when Tuantuan realized this move’s effectiveness, its eyes lit up.

Such an attack was simply too cruel.

The bull, already ill-tempered, received wave after wave of these attacks and went into a frenzy.

It bellowed a mad bull roar, completely stunning its opponent.

The casting of [Gravity] and [Earth Thorns] was interrupted.

The raging mad bull seized this opportunity to activate [Wild Bull’s Power] and charged straight toward the pig nearby, flipping it over, then raising its hooves high to stomp down on Tuantuan’s belly.

Fortunately, due to the short control time of the bull’s [Barbaric Bull Roar], Tuantuan shook off the control just in time as the bull’s hooves came down, canceled Giant mode, and narrowly dodged the deadly hooves.

While dodging, Tuantuan did not forget to deliver another [Earth Thorn].

The vital spot was struck again, and the already angry bull went into an outright frenzy, activating [Mad Bull State], instantly skyrocketing its strength to Boss Level.

At the same time, the bull launched into a wild and relentless pursuit of the pig.

Initially, Tuantuan tried to evade the frenzied attacks using its small body and agile speed, but it quickly realized that it was not going to work.

Even though the bull was large in size, its speed was not slow.

Tuantuan simply could not create distance.

Moreover, with each stomp of the bull, the arena would cave in, sending soil and rocks flying, all of which were highly damaging.

With its defenses down, Tuantuan could not be immune to these rocks and was soon forced to revert to Giant mode.

It grew gigantic, only to be sent flying by the bull.

After being struck, Tuantuan’s growth to gigantic size seemed somewhat inadequate.

Seeing this, Lu Wu quickly shouted from below.

"Tuantuan, level up, if you don’t level up you can’t beat them."

The audience almost burst into laughter at Lu Wu’s command.

What kind of instruction was that? At this critical moment, are you not going to give a constructive command?

Why are you issuing such a command? To make the opponent laugh? Your Summoned Beast can level up on voice command? Just level up because you said so?

Well, as it turned out, some Summoned Beasts could indeed level up on voice command, like Tuantuan.

No sooner had Lu Wu shouted than the pig actually leveled up.

It was normal; this pig was naturally good at cheating, let alone the fact that it had drunk two pots of Skeleton soup not long ago.

Although only one pot was the real deal and although most of the effects of both pots were absorbed, these two pots still allowed the pig to accumulate a lot of energy, enabling it to level up on demand.

It advanced straight to Elite 3 Stars.

Once its star level rose, the pig’s strength soared by a tier, and Tuantuan felt very strong, even brave enough to face the bull head-on.

Facing the oncoming bull, it lifted its hooves and unleashed an Advanced Skill [Cute Pig Trample] bursting forth.

This was an area-of-effect crowd-control skill, causing enemies within a 90-degree fan-shaped area in front of the pig to enter a brief stunned state.

Theoretically, after the pig stamped, the bull should have been stunned in place for about one second.

But that was just theory; the actual premise for this theory to hold was that the opponent had to be lighter than the pig, and their strength couldn’t exceed the pig’s by too much.

The bull met neither requirement.

Therefore, this qualified bull wasn’t pinned in place and was only slightly stunned for a moment before continuing to charge straight at the pig, impacting it head-on.

Fortunately, the pig was heavy and smart enough to activate gravity immediately, otherwise, it would have been knocked away by the strike.

The impact also snapped the pig out of its daze and made it realize that it still couldn’t take on the bull head-on.

What to do?

Level up again?

The pig really did give it a try, but unfortunately, the previously infallible leveling up trick didn’t work this time.

That was normal; even cheating had to follow basic principles, it was already at Elite 3 Stars; to level up again, it would have to reach Boss Level, and that’s not something it could just do by leveling up.

With the pig unable to level up, it became a little flustered and turned its head to look at Lu Wu with a resentful look in its eyes.

The pig’s expression was very easy to understand.

I can’t level up and can’t beat the bull, what should I do? Waiting online, very urgent!

Lu Wu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and gave a response.

"You hold on for a bit, I’ll cheat again for you!"

Then, Lu Wu stopped watching the pig and turned to find Dudu, taking her straight to the neighboring rest room.

As he left, anticipation he couldn’t suppress brightened Lu Wu’s face, and his steps quickened.

Dudu, however, followed like a shy and timid little wife.

This move left the audience dumbfounded.

What’s happening here?

Your pig is fighting for its life on stage, and you’re holding hands with someone and heading off to a small room, what are you going to do?

Could you possibly be about to do something indescribable at this moment?

Isn’t that a bit too daring? Can’t you pick a better time and place?

Lu Wuke didn’t care about the mood of the audience, and after entering the room with Dudu, he immediately took out a fruit.

It was the Vermilion Fruit that Zhao Kai Ming had had delivered that very morning.

It was a high-quality version of the Little Red Fruits that Dudu had been eating.

Dudu had been eating three Little Red Fruits every day for some time, consuming dozens of them already, and her Bonds Skill was on the verge of reaching its peak. Without any accidents, after eating this Vermilion Fruit, her Bonds Skill should trigger.

Once the Bonds Skill triggered, the energy from dozens of Little Red Fruits and one Vermilion Fruit would erupt, and the pig outside would surely experience another major surge in power.

By then, today’s arena would be renamed Tuantuan Arena!

However, Lu Wu initially hadn’t planned on letting Dudu eat it.

"Because this thing was delivered somewhat late, I wasn’t going to let you eat it now, afraid that it would trigger the Bonds Skill for too long and would delay the pig’s match.

But under the current circumstances, it’s really not okay not to eat it.

We can only give it a try."

The moment he decided to let Dudu eat it, Lu Wu couldn’t help but get excited.

After all, whether the fruit would enable the pig to strengthen in time to win the match was uncertain, but his wife was sure to return looking more beautiful.

So, at that moment, he was particularly attentive.

"Come on, open your mouth!"

Lu Wu said as he brought the Vermilion Fruit up to Dudu’s mouth.

This intimate gesture made Dudu’s cheeks flush red, turning her into a veritable Steam Girl.

She couldn’t manage to open her mouth, and in the end, Lu Wu had no choice but to let Dudu eat it herself.

Swallowing the Vermilion Fruit, Dudu’s body emitted a faint light, and this time she didn’t fall into a coma, instantly demonstrating her shrink ability for Lu Wu instead.

In less than a minute, Dudu went from 160 Dudu to 99 Dudu.

Losing 61 pounds in weight, her beauty surged back to its peak...
