The more outrageous aspect was that the necromancers summoned by Wiggins, the moment they stepped out of the summoning circle, released their own summoning circles as well!
This resulted in the number of undead units on the field approaching three hundred, with the addition of many more magic circles.
Anfia of the White Bear Kingdom, seeing this, was speechless:
"Oh, this..."
"The fighting style of this fellow named Turing reminds me of a classic toy from our country..."
Catherine of Prussia, sitting next to him, immediately burst out laughing:
"You mean the Matryoshka dolls, right?"
"Don't say it, it really does look a bit like it!"
"If Turing were allowed to keep summoning indefinitely, Lin Ran would likely be in a tough fight."
"After all, the competition venue is really quite large... it's perfectly suited for his sneaky playstyle."
"If the summoning isn't restricted quickly, he might be worn down inexplicably."
"Facing undead units all over the place is really difficult!"
Arthur added from the side:
"However, the quality of these undead units is still rather mediocre, mostly staying around the fourth or fifth tier."
"If it comes down to a desperate fight, the role of these summoned creatures might not be insignificant..."
"But Lin Ran isn't a fool; he can kite them around, ignoring the summoned units and focusing solely on the summoner."
"Generally, those who are skilled in summoning necromancy tend to have very fragile bodies themselves."
"As long as Lin Ran seizes an opportunity and lands a few heavy blows, no matter how many Death Lords you have, it will all be over!"
Caesar nodded beside him:
"Yes, it's pretty much the situation..."
"Huh?! Wait, what new trick has this guy pulled now?!"
Following Caesar's exclamation, everyone present couldn't help but shift their gaze back to the arena.
And then, they witnessed an utterly absurd phenomenon!
Streams of dark green light first emanated from Wiggins' main body, then quickly swept across the entire undead army.
The participants in the arena had exceptionally sharp eyes and quickly discerned the effect of this dark green light.
It was Life Link!
This was something every awakened summoner dreamed of!
After all, it was well-known that summoners, when battling others, were most concerned about the safety of their own bodies.
Especially in a one-on-one duel without teammates to cover.
There was a high chance of encountering an extremely fast and aggressive opponent who would directly target the summoner's body, crushing them in moments.
However, the existence of Life Link directly and completely compensated for this weakness of summoners.
The effect of this ability was exceptionally outrageous.
It connected the life force of all summoned creatures created by the summoner's main body to their own.
As long as the summoner themselves encountered danger, the summoned creatures would perform a self-sacrifice to replenish that portion of life force for the summoner.
This meant that without eliminating all the summoned creatures that the summoner had brought forth, it would be impossible to eliminate the summoner who could infinitely draw life force from them.
"This guy actually possesses such a rare ability?!"
The audience and contestants alike marveled, casting looks of admiration towards Wiggins.
They never expected that the second team of the Panama Federation would harbor such a hidden boss!
With his peak seventh-tier strength combined with this incredibly heaven-defying Life Link, even if he proclaimed ambitions for the championship, no one would likely object...
As for Dolu, the captain of the Panama Federation's main team, he was also stunned.
The outrageous strength displayed by this fellow named Turing had already forced him to start contemplating another question...
That is, if they were to meet, could he defeat Turing?
Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, the honest voice in his heart kept reminding Dolu that his chances of winning were definitely skewed towards the lower side.
After all, they were both at peak seventh-tier strength, so neither could claim to suppress the other in terms of cultivation.
And his reliance on his innate talent, the Fatal Golden Boots, was an ability with explosive single-target burst but relatively lacking AoE capabilities.
Under such a disadvantage, he would likely be defeated.
Thinking of the dense, overwhelming undead army, Dolu felt a prickle of fear.
So, for Lin Ran, could he still hold on?
"Look quickly, Lin Ran is moving too!"
"Hmm? It seems like a technique with a long casting time..."
"Is it a large-scale AoE? If he doesn't disrupt Turing's summoning rhythm quickly, Lin Ran will likely be toast!"
"Ah? Why are there inexplicable magic circles appearing on Lin Ran's side too?!"
"What the hell! This is unbelievable! Lin Ran's countermeasure is also summoning!"
"Lin Ran can also summon?!"
Under the stunned gazes of the participating contestants and the audience, Lin Ran casually waved his hand towards the sky, and several summoning circles appeared on his side as well...
And what emerged from Lin Ran's summoning circles were elemental beings of different attributes and forms!
Fire Elementals, Frost Elementals, Wood Elementals, Gale Elementals, Thunder Elementals, Earth Elementals, Metal Elementals, Holy Light Elementals, and Dark Elementals!
Encompassing a total of nine elemental systems!
Moreover, these elementals summoned by Lin Ran were actually of a higher tier than the undead units—each of them was sixth-tier!
Seeing this, Wiggins' face immediately turned ashen.
What the hell was going on! How could he also summon?
And the quality of his summoned creatures was even higher than his own, a genuine necromancer?!
Lin Ran, on the other hand, was smiling heartily.
This summoning ability was, naturally, another function provided by the Life Chests of those Elemental Children.
Although the cost of summoning was considerable, requiring the expenditure of a large amount of life source, for Lin Ran, who was a tank, life source was precisely what he had in abundance.
The reason he chose to counter Wiggins with summoning as well had its deeper intentions.
This was because the memory-plundering function of the Eternal Kaleidoscope required the caster's attributes to completely overwhelm the target.
With Lin Ran's current surface strength of fifth-tier, this was naturally impossible.
Therefore, to plunder Wiggins' memories, he first had to destroy his spirit.
Only then would there be a chance to retain more memory fragments.
In other words, merely killing wasn't enough; striking at the heart was also an extremely crucial step...
