Chapter 37: Little Skeleton's First Victory
Chapter 37: Little Skeleton's First Victory
Lu Wu's actions at Field 3 had made him notorious in school, but not in a good way. He was now labeled as a jerk, and people believed he was holding Dudu back from entering the advanced class and pursuing a bright future. Lu Wu was seen as the ultimate jerk, and almost everyone in school wanted to give him a piece of their mind.
However, Lu Wu didn't seem to care about any of this. He knew they would only dare to talk behind his back, and if anyone dared to confront him, he was ready to unleash Dudu without hesitation.
The next day, a student from the advanced class came looking for Lu Wu, intending to bully him to obtain the title of 'Champion' and increase Ye Qingsue's favorability.
Without a word, Lu Wu called for Dudu.
Soon after, a young man who had just entered the advanced class with high spirits was piggy-backed by his summoned beast, looking utterly embarrassed as he limped away.
Things got worse when he returned to the advanced class; it seemed like Ye Qingsue had immediately swept him out of the class.
This incident caused quite a stir, even catching the attention of the principal, who personally went to plead for the unlucky student.
After all, it wasn't easy for Quancheng No.3 High School to produce potential candidates for Summoner University, and they couldn't just cut off this student's future like that.
But no one expected that even the principal's words would hold no weight before Ye Qingsue.
She said only one sentence: "If you can't even beat a student from the ordinary class, you don't have the qualifications to stay in my class!"
She was incredibly domineering and assertive. The principal, on the other hand, was surprisingly timid and was sent off by Ye Qingsue's retort.
This made people curious about her identity; who was this woman, and why was she so domineering and unyielding?
However, this incident didn't have much to do with Lu Wu.
Well, from a certain perspective, Lu Wu was a beneficiary of this incident.
Although he gained the additional label of a 'kept man' after this event, on top of being a jerk, no one bothered him anymore.
The attention shifted from Lu Wu to Ye Qingsue, as everyone was drawn to her domineering nature and started to voice their discontent with her. This left Lu Wu with a much quieter environment.
Of course, Lu Wu didn't sit idly during this peaceful period.
To be honest, although Lu Wu didn't initially care much about the advanced class, and even went into the exam with the mindset of checking it out and leaving if he wasn't happy, he still felt a bit unhappy about what happened.
It's one thing to have a certain mindset about the exam, but it's another for them to sweep him out of the class without even giving him a chance to prove himself.
This made Lu Wu a bit upset.
He felt a surge of determination.
Lu Wu swore that he was a man of great magnanimity and had no intention of making a name for himself in the tournament by giving Ye Qingsue a resounding slap.
He just wanted to prove himself and show everyone who doubted him that he, Lu Wu, was capable.
To prove himself, Lu Wu first needed to improve the strength of Little Skeleton.
For Lu Wu, enhancing Little Skeleton's power wasn't a significant challenge.
Although the cultivation of Little Skeleton was indeed difficult, Lu Wu had already prepared a comprehensive training program for him.
With newfound confidence, Lu Wu believed that Little Skeleton could catch up to and even surpass Dudu's TuanTuan before the tournament. Now, he merely accelerated the process.
Driven by an inner determination, Lu Wu's efficiency in training skyrocketed.
The optimization of two skills, Dodge and Block, which was initially planned to take a week, was completed by Lu Wu in just three days.
Then, he spent four days rigorously training Little Skeleton, ensuring it grasped the three enhanced skills.
......
Name: Little Skeleton
Strength: 1-Star (Ordinary)
Quality: Black Iron (Inferior) (Improved)
Attribute: Undead
Status: It wants to watch TV.
Skills: Charge (Enhanced) (Proficient)
Block (Enhanced) (Skilled)
Dodge (Enhanced) (Skilled)
Weaknesses: Light, Fire, Thunder
Description: Despite still being somewhat lackluster, it now possesses a certain level of combat prowess after mastering the three enhanced skills.
Training it to this level within a few months is indeed an impressive feat.
......
This is Little Skeleton's attribute board one week after the Field 3 incident.
In the error-free version, Lu Wu couldn't help but smile at Little Skeleton's attribute board.
The system's positive feedback, coupled with the optimization, had boosted Little Skeleton's Charge skill proficiency directly to the Proficient level.
These two surprises lifted Lu Wu's spirits, and he suddenly felt the sun shining, the rain stopping, and a sense of accomplishment.
"Come on, Dudu, let's fight!" Lu Wu exclaimed excitedly, dragging Dudu to the training room.
They returned to the same training center and the same room as before. After a week, the 67th battle between Lu Wu's Little Skeleton and Dudu's TuanTuan commenced once more.
Dudu's TuanTuan wasn't particularly enthusiastic about this fight. This pig was inherently lazy and disliked physical activities, especially fighting. However, if it was against Little Skeleton, it felt somewhat better, as it was very familiar with fighting Little Skeleton.
In the first minute, it used Earth Spike to kite, in the second minute, it repositioned to maintain distance and continued kiting, and in the third minute, when Little Skeleton closed in, it used Gigantism to crush it.
The pig had bullied Little Skeleton so much that it had become part of its routine.
This time, TuanTuan followed the routine, starting with a wave of Earth Spikes. Usually, this initial attack would fluster Little Skeleton, but this time, Little Skeleton's bones seemed more agile, and its little feet deftly dodged the spikes.
Lu Wu, witnessing the enhanced Dodge skill in action, seized the opportunity and commanded, "Use Charge! Give it a good whack!"
Little Skeleton obediently burst into action, instantly reaching TuanTuan's side and swinging its club with a 'smack'. TuanTuan, caught off guard by Little Skeleton's swift approach, was knocked off the arena, halfway through its Gigantism transformation.
Well, after a whole month of being bullied, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton finally achieved a seemingly impressive victory through the optimized skills and this near-sneak attack.
Lu Wu was delighted, and Little Skeleton, holding its baseball bat, stared at it in awe for a while.
Having beaten TuanTuan, Little Skeleton wanted to experience that feeling again! On the other side, the defeated TuanTuan was furious.
