Chapter 90

The bet began.

Cao Cao Bowen summoned his beasts.

A giant, colorful butterfly several meters wide, a two-headed dog of standard size but with two heads, and an ice-crystal tiger.

Li Yao felt weary just watching.

Summoning these creatures out—

Cao Cao Bowen spent nearly a full minute drawing the spatial array.

No wonder everyone says summoners are weak.

If there were a real emergency, who would give you that much time?

Li Yao looked at these summons, sensing the aura emanating from them.

This ice-crystal tiger should be Cao Cao Bowen's main combat pet.

Ordinary summoners mostly pile all their resources onto one summon, using the others for crowd control and damage absorption.

The resources spent on raising a summon would definitely make an ordinary family shrink back.

This is also one of the reasons why summoners are criticized.

Cao Cao Bowen hadn't been with the Kujo family long; this ice-crystal tiger was the only thing he could really bring to the table.

As for the other two—

Li Yao didn't even feel the slightest threat.

Kujo Mise cast several blessings on the ice-crystal tiger.

The tiger's size suddenly increased, and the aura it emitted was unprecedented!

Cao Cao Bowen's confidence surged.

Its current stats could even barely solo a Lord-level monster.

Li Yao, what do you have to fight me with!

Cao Cao Bowen looked at Li Yao arrogantly: "You ignorant thing, daring to accept the bet. If you ask me, the loser has no right to receive that skill book!"

"Yeah, everything you say is right."

Li Yao replied perfunctorily, then asked:

"So, are you ready?"

Seeing Li Yao's attitude, Cao Cao Bowen's temper flared up instantly.

He immediately commanded the ice-crystal tiger to attack Li Yao.

"A summoner who doesn't even know how to buy time for their own pets."

"Do you really think you can win relying solely on that invisible mantis?"

Buy time for summoning?

Li Yao was stunned.

He really didn't have that habit.

Aren't summons summoned in an instant?

Until the ice-crystal tiger appeared right in front of Li Yao.

A sinister look appeared on Cao Cao Bowen's face.

If you don't summon your beasts, don't blame me if you die!

Die!

Only if you die can Miss Mise choose me!

Looking at the ice-crystal tiger right in front of him, Li Yao casually cast [Shelter] on himself, then lifted his King's Scepter nonchalantly.

An icy claw swiped against the protective light shield.

[-0]

The next second.

"Boom!"

The scepter slammed into the ground, and the entire earth trembled.

A powerful shockwave swept toward Cao Cao Bowen and the others.

In an instant, everyone, including the two summons protecting Cao Cao Bowen, entered a stunned state.

With Li Yao's 750 spirit power and Cao Cao Bowen's hodgepodge of Silver-grade equipment, they would be stunned for at least five seconds.

The ice-crystal tiger was carrying blessings, and its spirit power now exceeded Li Yao's.

Under this shockwave, it was the first creature to wake up.

Claw after claw, it kept attacking Li Yao.

Li Yao glanced at the durability of the [Shelter] shield.

Estimating roughly, it was about 800 main stats after the boost.

It's going to take some effort to break the shield.

After a long while, Cao Cao Bowen finally Mayor Woke up.

"Finally awake."

"Send this big cat back; the bet is over."

Hearing Li Yao's words, Cao Cao Bowen was about to curse back.

But he felt a sharp pain.

Blood spilled from his neck as the Void Mantis's claws slowly sank into his flesh.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Stop!"

Cao Cao Bowen roared in panic.

He knew clearly whether his neck was harder or the claws were.

Only when the ice-crystal tiger moved away from Li Yao did the Void Mantis retract its claws and hide in the void.

Cao Cao Bowen's face turned the color of a pig's liver; he couldn't accept the reality of what had happened.

Kujo Mise had woken up earlier than him.

Her face was ugly, and she frowned, staring fixedly at Li Yao, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing her master's expression, Cao Cao Bowen's heart went cold.

He spoke repeatedly: "It doesn't count!"

"This doesn't count!"

"Using a control skill to ambush—that's not a summoner's duel at all!"

The noise caused by [Earth Tremor] had clearly alarmed the people inside the house.

However, Shang Shang Yana had explained it to them, so they didn't run out to ruin things at this moment.

Several people stared tightly at the surveillance screen.

Seeing the other party being so shameless, they couldn't help but spit and curse.

"How can this person be like this! Who says a summoner can't use control skills!"

"It was already two-on-one, and even with a blade at his throat, he still won't admit defeat—isn't that just cheating!" Qin Qin Yue was indignant, her little face flushed red with anger.

Guo Ning also watched the surveillance with worry.

She was mainly afraid that Li Yao would suffer a loss.

After all, the other party came from a big family like the Kujo, and they were prepared.

She had never seen her son in action before.

This time, Xiao Yao used a control skill to win by a trick; if the other party is on guard next time, wouldn't he lose?

"Auntie, don't worry, Li Yao won't lose."

Shang Shang Yana's eyes were sparkling as she watched Li Yao's figure on the monitor.

Using only one summon to deal with the opponent—

Li Yao is truly too gentle.

But the other party is so annoying, even Li Yao would be angry, right?

"Doesn't count?"

In the villa courtyard, Li Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at Kujo Mise.

"Is this your intention too?"

"No." Kujo Mise's expression stalled; just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Cao Cao Bowen beside her.

"Of course it doesn't count! What kind of skill is an ambush?"

Cao Cao Bowen turned to look at his master.

"Miss Mise, give me one more chance, I will definitely be able to defeat him!"

"Use that skill! As long as you cast that skill on my summon—"

"I guarantee I won't be affected by control skills again."

"Shut up, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Kujo Mise's expression was cold and stern; she glanced at him impatiently.

The bet itself was already unfair.

Just now, she had only added a few basic blessings to let Li Yao-kun understand her abilities.

Two-on-one—

And she still had to use those core skills?

Does she have no shame?

Li Yao didn't want to waste time with them.

"Since it's not your intention, the bet is over. I'm taking the skill book."

Having failed the invitation again, Kujo Mise's face was ugly to the extreme.

Angry in her heart, she could only stare fixedly at Li Yao's back, watching him leave.

But Cao Cao Bowen couldn't care about that.

Li Yao not accepting the invitation was a huge blessing for him.

This way, the skill books Kujo Mise possessed would all belong to him!

No one could take his things!

This person must die!

Only if he died could Kujo Mise cultivate him wholeheartedly.

Cao Cao Bowen's face was sinister as blood, and he roared with a hoarse throat:

"In a summoner's duel, using control skills just doesn't count!"

Immediately—

The ice-crystal tiger activated its Berserk skill.

Its fur receded, replaced by purple-blue veins all over its body, its pupils turned turbid white, its fangs protruded, and it was constantly dripping saliva.

"Boom!"

The ice-crystal tiger suddenly opened its giant mouth, and a beam of ice light shot toward Li Yao.

"What are you doing?"
