Chapter 283: Preparing for the University League

The revelation that Zhang Yuchi was his own sister left Lu Wu in shock.

Soon after, Lu Wu found himself entangled in the costs and troubles that came with this knowledge.

Was he aware of the cost?

The answer was, of course, yes!

And the cost was not insignificant.

After Jiang Yexing revealed that Zhang Yuchi was Lu Haikong's daughter, she also decided to lay her cards on the table with Lu Wu.

Indeed, Lu Wu's guess was correct; she was one of Old Lu's exes.

The problem now was, how should Lu Wu face this ex of Old Lu?

What if this godmother requested to see Lu Haikong? What should Lu Wu do then?

On one hand, he couldn't refuse, as Jiang Yexing had been kind to him.

On the other hand, she had endured decades of waiting for that scumbag, which made her situation pitiable.

If he agreed, he would be betraying Li Ruyu.

Lu Wu had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, Jiang Yexing didn't bring up this difficult request.

Or perhaps, she didn't dare to.

Jiang Yexing appeared to be a domineering queen.

But in matters of emotion, she was somewhat cowardly. If she were to meet Lu Haikong, she wouldn't know what to do either.

Seeing this woman, who was obviously curious but cautiously avoiding any mention of Lu Haikong, Lu Wu felt like giving his own scumbag ex a taste of his wrath.

"Damn that scumbag!

I have a feeling that I'll be ruined by him in the future."

To prevent his premonition from coming true, Lu Wu decided to stay in Jiangnan for the following days.

With his return, Jiangnan was gradually getting back on track.

There were fewer aspects that required Lu Wu's attention and effort.

At this point, Lu Wu could shift his focus from Jiangnan University to the upcoming University League.

Although Jiangnan University had already developed, they still needed to participate in the league.

On one hand, it was for the university ranking resources, and on the other, it was to showcase the university's prowess.

Therefore, Lu Wu not only had to participate but also strive for an impressive performance.

After all, he was now the spiritual leader of Jiangnan University's students.

His performance would reflect on the university's reputation.

Consequently, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel the weight of his idol status.

Thus, he began a three-month intensive training specifically for the University League.

This training wasn't just for him alone.

Besides himself and Dudu, Lu Wu selected four more students from the entire school to join them.

The University League's competition format was as follows:

Each school would send a team of six to compete, but despite being a team event, the matches were individual battles!

The schools' rankings were determined by the overall team performance.

Under these rules, it was challenging for a single strong player to break into the top ten; the entire team needed to be strong.

To ensure Jiangnan University's success in the University League, Lu Wu meticulously chose four individuals.

To his surprise, all four of them were people he knew well.

Firstly, there was Zhao Li, whose summon beast was a 1-star leader, so his inclusion was a given.

Besides Zhao Li, three more were freshmen.

They were students whom Lu Wu had encountered during the High School League and had convinced to join Jiangnan University after the competition.

The first was Wu Wei, the former captain of Team 004, whose summon beast possessed the inherited skill 'A Stick to the Sky'.

The second was Su Lan, the former captain of Team 007, whose summon beast was the Iron Feathered Eagle and the White Wolf.

The last one was the most surprising for Lu Wu; when he saw her, he was stunned to find her at Jiangnan University.

Yes, she was none other than Hengheng Guai.

Lu Wu immediately voiced his surprise, only to receive a familiar cold hum and a dismissive headshake.

She looked particularly annoying, but Lu Wu eventually brought her into the team.

After all, how could he bully her if she wasn't on the team?

Once the team members were finalized, Lu Wu called them over.

Without wasting any time, Lu Wu got straight to the point.

"I'll keep it brief.

The reason I called you here is straightforward: to inform you that you will be joining me in the upcoming University League as part of the school team."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Li and the other three were stunned.

Wu Wei, Su Lan, and Hengheng Guai were surprised by their selection, while Zhao Li was taken aback by the remaining three teammates.

Zhao Li couldn't help but speak up, "Chairman, aren't they a bit too weak?

They're all at the Elite 3-Star level. With their strength, they're not going to the University League to compete; they're going to be cannon fodder!"

Zhao Li's words didn't sit well with Hengheng Guai and the others.

However, they had to admit that their strength was indeed lacking.

So, they remained silent, all eyes on Lu Wu.

Lu Wu shook his head in disagreement, "The previous school team I saw was average, and their summon beast cultivation styles were already set. It would be challenging to achieve significant progress in a short time. Sending them to the University League would be like sending them to be cannon fodder.

So, these four will do."

Of course, this wasn't the most crucial point.

The most important factor was that they were all originally fourth-year students.

Even if Lu Wu could work miracles and help them grow, others would assume they were Jiangnan University's secret weapon.

Using them in the competition wouldn't make much sense.

So, instead of cultivating them, Lu Wu was more inclined to mentor these three freshmen.

He wanted to set an example with these three students.

He intended to show the entire Alliance that Jiangnan University not only excelled at making money but also in nurturing talent.

As long as these three could achieve results in the University League, Jiangnan University's reputation would soar.

The following year, when Jiangnan University recruited new students, they would be able to attract a group of fresh-faced freshmen.

One could say that Lu Wu was genuinely dedicated to the development of Jiangnan University, his heart aching with worry.

"Alright, regarding the selection, it's settled.

Here are four contracts. Take a look, and if you have no objections, sign them."

With Lu Wu's current prestige, even the school principal could be easily replaced, let alone this.

Seeing Lu Wu's resolute attitude, Zhao Li didn't say much more. He took the contract Lu Wu handed him and began reading.

The contract was a 1619 edition, and upon reading it, he was stunned.

The contract in his hand required him to sign a ten-year work contract with Jiangnan University.

For the next ten years, he would have to sell himself to the university.

This was the price he had to pay, and in return, he would receive a cultivation plan worth approximately 10,000 study points.

10,000 study points were equivalent to 100,000 credits!

The contracts of the other three were similar to Zhao Li's; the cultivation plans ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 study points, and the required work duration was between 10 and 40 years.

Hengheng Guai's contract was the longest; for a 20,000-point cultivation plan, she had to work for 40 years.

Clearly, Lu Wu had secretly taken advantage of this young lady.

However, she was unaware of this, as none of the contracts were made public or compared with each other.

After all, Lu Wu was right there in front of them.

After reading the contracts, all four had similar reactions; without hesitation, they signed their names.

With their signatures, the special training session aimed at the University League officially began.

Lu Wu's first step was to spend money, and he did so extravagantly.

He didn't need to mention his own expenses; just the Little Skeleton alone was a money pit, as there were 15 little brothers in his phone.

Since Dudu returned, he had been eating Zhu Fruit every day when he was free.

He consumed around 1,000 points worth of Zhu Fruit daily.

Evidently, Dudu was determined to reduce his weight to 100.

In the first month of special training alone, Lu Wu spent 1.2 million points.

Among them, Zhao Li spent 100,000, Wu Wei 200,000, Su Lan 200,000, Hengheng Guai 200,000, Lu Wu 410,000, and Dudu ate 90,000 worth of Zhu Fruit.

With such a substantial investment, the results were naturally significant.

Zhao Li's originally Bronze-ranked gorilla, Wu Wei's originally Iron-ranked Fire Monkey, and Su Lan's originally Iron-ranked Iron-Feathered Eagle all advanced to the Silver rank.

Hengheng Guai's originally Bronze-ranked Twin-Tailed Spirit Cat and Su Lan's originally Silver-ranked White Wolf directly advanced to the Gold rank.

On Lu Wu's side, he advanced all 15 of Little Skeleton's little brothers to the Silver rank in one go.

This was the power of spending!

Although the quality of these summoned beasts had significantly improved, and their foundation had increased considerably, the actual increase in strength was not substantial, and one could say it was almost non-existent.

Of course, this was all part of Lu Wu's plan.

The three-month special training had only just begun, and the first month had passed.

There were still two months to go, and this was when their strength would truly soar.

In the following two months, Lu Wu didn't train this team together.

This wouldn't be very effective.

After all, there was a considerable gap in strength among this team.

Their training methods also differed.

So, it was better to train them separately.

Lu Wu designed different training methods for Zhao Li and the others, arranged different mystic realms for them, and assigned a Lord-ranked expert to each as a bodyguard.

Then, he scattered them like seeds.

Today, he scattered four seeds, and in two months, he would be able to harvest four mature teammates capable of competing in the tournament.

When he scattered them, it happened to be New Year's Eve.

Just as Lu Wu finished scattering the team, Lu Hai Kong arrived.

He told Lu Wu, "Your mother is calling you home for dinner."

Then, Lu Wu took Dudu and returned to the farm for a meal, staying for two days before Lu Hai Kong sent Lu Wu and Dudu to Dudu's home.

Upon arriving at Dudu's home, Dudu's father, seeing Dudu who had slimmed down to only 140 pounds, almost shed tears.

What had his poor daughter become under Lu Wu's influence?

He took a broom and started attacking Lu Wu.

It was unclear where Dudu's father, who weighed nearly 200 pounds, got such a good reach, but Lu Wu's Lord-ranked strength was no match, and he was sent flying.

In the end, Dudu and Dudu's mother had to hold Lu Wu tightly to save his life.

Then, Dudu's father gave up on beating Lu Wu and instead focused on trying to nurse his daughter back to health.

As a result, Dudu, who had just been fed by Li Ru Yu, was now being force-fed by his father.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Dudu ate, his weight remained at 140.

This worried Dudu's father, who glared at Lu Wu, believing that this stinky boy must have done something secretly.

Lu Wu spent three days at Dudu's house, enduring a difficult time.

Then, he returned to Jiangnan University with Dudu, preparing to enter the Dragon Isle Mystic Realm for his special training...
