Chapter 220: Steel Armor Wild Pig Skeleton Knight
Chapter 220: Steel Armor Wild Pig Skeleton Knight
In the breeding room of Lu Wu's family in Southern Jiang, Lu Wu's eyes were fixed on the soup, the pig, and the skeleton, observing the changes in their attributes.
Every moment, he was focused and speculating on how the changing attributes would affect the upcoming process.
Materials were prepared on the side, and Lu Wu himself was ready to take action at any sign of trouble, determined to do everything he could to fix any issues that arose.
This was an incredibly energy-draining task.
Moreover, the mental strain only intensified as time went on.
The first two hours were relatively smooth, as he simply enhanced the soup, strengthening the pig and the skeleton separately, with few complications requiring his intervention.
However, starting from the third hour, when the fusion between the pig and the skeleton began, various problems gradually surfaced.
Lu Wu had to be extra vigilant, detecting issues early and resolving them swiftly.
Each problem was a drain on his energy, resources, and materials; out of over ten thousand materials, more than three thousand were set aside for unexpected situations.
And these materials were indeed put to good use.
Of course, this wasn't something that made Lu Wu particularly happy.
It was a real headache.
Within a short span of two hours, from the third to the fifth hour, a staggering thirteen issues arose.
On average, a new problem emerged every ten minutes.
Lu Wu not only had to keep a close eye on all the issues but also had to resolve them.
Under such conditions, Lu Wu could only endure for five hours before he felt overwhelmed. His head throbbed, making it difficult to maintain his focus.
And precisely at this critical stage of the fusion evolution, problems were most likely to occur.
A moment of inattention, a failure to maintain the process, could lead to the entire evolution collapsing.
This was not an outcome Lu Wu wanted to see.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Wu endured the throbbing pain in his head, which gradually turned into a piercing sensation, as he remained vigilant, closely monitoring the soup.
Lu Wu's perseverance paid off.
Soon, after six hours of simmering, the pig and the skeleton reached the final stage of their fusion.
At this point, the evolution was almost guaranteed to succeed.
Aware of this, Lu Wu finally allowed himself to relax a little, unable to bear the piercing pain in his head any longer.
However, just as Lu Wu loosened his guard, a problem emerged in the soup. This time, the issue stemmed from the pig and the skeleton themselves.
At the critical moment of their fusion, they encountered a problem.
It was as if a couple about to be married suddenly realized they were incompatible, and a dispute arose, threatening to derail the entire process.
But they were the core of the evolution; how could it continue if they were in conflict?
Sure enough, problems quickly surfaced, and after the first issue, the situation that Lu Wu had painstakingly maintained completely fell apart.
This sudden turn of events left Lu Wu dumbfounded.
Although he quickly regained his composure, his mind was still in problem-solving mode after six hours of intense focus.
In this state, Lu Wu's first thought was how to resolve the issue at hand.
This thought almost overwhelmed his mind, as there were too many problems piled up, and with the current situation, it seemed impossible to find a solution.
"It seems I have no choice but to temporarily abandon this attempt... Hey, little skeleton, go and calm them down!"
Just as Lu Wu was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the skeleton in his home.
He called over the skeleton, who was playing on his phone.
The little skeleton was quite obedient and understanding. It went up to the pig and the skeleton and gave each of them a slap.
Like an assertive father, it sternly told the pig and the skeleton,
'No matter what you like or don't like, whether you're compatible or not, you will do as I say!'
The little skeleton's fatherly authority was undeniable.
It immediately resolved the situation, and the pig and the skeleton began their fusion, despite the initial resistance.
Gradually, the various problems began to dissipate.
Lu Wu was overjoyed and quickly got to work, guiding the pig and the skeleton into their new form.
After another half-hour, just as Lu Wu's head was about to explode from exhaustion, the evolution finally succeeded. Meanwhile, as the pig and the skeleton merged, Lu Wu's little skeleton also underwent some changes.
It seemed to exude an even stronger sense of fatherly authority.
Lu Wu, surprised, checked the little skeleton's attributes and noticed that one of its talents was in the process of awakening, apart from which there were no other noticeable changes.
However, that talent had actually awakened long ago, soon after Lu Wu returned from the inheritance site. But how long had it been?
It had been at least half a month since he left the inheritance site, and the talent was still in the process of awakening, which left Lu Wu speechless.
"Wait, there's a progress bar for the awakening, at 10%? Is this related to the fusion of the pig and the skeleton?"
Lu Wu wasn't entirely sure, but he felt there might be a connection. He decided to explore this aspect further in his future research.
However, the priority now was the pig and the pig and the skeleton.
Lu Wu wanted to see the result of their fusion before getting some much-needed rest.
Exhausted, Lu Wu looked into the soup and saw that the pig and the skeleton had finally emerged from their transformation.
The Steel Armor Boar and the Skeleton Knight had successfully evolved together, but they did not merge into a single entity. Instead, they emerged as a boar and a skeleton side by side.
The boar and the skeleton had undergone significant changes from their previous forms. The boar now resembled a Steel Armor Boar, but its overall skeleton appeared lighter and more agile, suggesting enhanced burst potential. Additionally, its back featured a flat and suitable spot for the skeleton to mount, clearly designed for its new companion.
The skeleton, on the other hand, had not changed much in size, standing at around 1.8 meters tall. It now wore a light steel-colored armor, and its gun had also transformed into the same steel shade. Its eyes glowed with a flickering flame, giving it an awe-inspiring appearance.
When Lu Wu encountered them, he noticed that their attributes were aligned.

"These attributes are not bad!" Lu Wu examined the Steel Armor Boar Skeleton Knight's attributes without feeling any shame as a feudal patriarch. Instead, he felt proud of his accomplishment.
"It's just a matter of merging," he thought. "It's not possible for every couple to be perfectly compatible. As long as they can work together, that's what matters."
"I can't take it anymore; my mental strength is exhausted. I need to sleep!" Lu Wu said, covering his head and waist as he trudged off to bed with heavy steps.

In the Northbank.
At a certain estate.
On a fluffy sofa, Governor Zhang Yunyi of Northbank reclined.
Before her was Zhang Yuchi, who had just returned yesterday and immediately asserted her dominance over Zhao Jianzhi.
The mother and daughter, side by side, looked like a pair of sisters.
However, their resemblance was only skin-deep, and their relationship seemed less than harmonious.
After an awkward moment of eye contact, Zhang Yunyi spoke first.
"There are many ways to deal with Zhao Jianzhi. Why did you have to use this method?"
"Because I wanted to," Zhang Yuchi pouted, acting like a sulking child.
Zhang Yunyi didn't seem to mind.
"If that's what you want, as long as you can bear the consequences, I won't oppose you."
Zhang Yuchi didn't react to this.
"You don't seem to think this is a big deal. You believe that the Ministry of Education has already classified it, confirming that Zhao Jianzhi is a heretic summoner who was seriously injured."
Zhang Yunyi, knowing her daughter well, responded calmly.
"Just now, the Ministry of Education issued a document regarding the safety and protection issues at your Southern Jiangnan University. They directly notified the entire Alliance, criticizing your Northbank University for inadequate security measures, allowing the chancellor to be attacked on campus."
"Furthermore, the security department has also ordered me to capture that heretic summoner within six months. Otherwise, they will step in to help Northbank establish a security system."
"This is the price you have to pay for your actions."
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yunyi gave Zhang Yuchi a lesson in responsibility.
"Rules exist for a reason. Don't try to break them. The consequences are beyond your imagination."
"Of course, if you become powerful enough to rewrite the rules, then I won't stop you. Since the beginning of summoning beasts, all order and rules have been based on strength."
"Even if you have the power to shatter the rules, it doesn't mean you can do as you please. Rules and order are the foundation of the world. When you trample on them, you'll also suffer from every shattered piece of the broken rules."
"Even if you're strong enough to be immune to these injuries, others will still get hurt. Your freedom and unrestrained actions come at the expense of others. When you completely rise above the rules, the consequences you don't want to bear will fall upon others."
"So, I'll say it again: don't try to break the rules. Obey them, respect them, and then control them."
At this moment, Zhang Yuchi finally responded.
"Like you?"
Zhang Yunyi was taken aback.
Zhang Yuchi didn't press further, turning to leave. As she reached the doorway, she paused.
"I'll take care of the mess I've made."
With that, Zhang Yuchi strode away.
