Chapter 377: Returning to District Eleven
Chapter 377: Returning to District Eleven
The little dragon, accompanied by the small skeleton, left Jiangnan University by diving into a toilet and entered the sea outside Fort City, initiating its second search for Li Wu.
However, not long after their departure, the little dragon and the small skeleton found themselves in a predicament.
This time, the situation was different from the previous search.
Previously, the little dragon had a contract with Li Wu, making it easy to locate him.
But this time, Li Wu had temporarily severed the contract, and the power gap between them was significant.
Li Wu was already close to a 2-Star King Rank, while the little dragon and the small skeleton were only at the 3-Star Lord Rank.
They had no means to break through Li Wu's blockade, leaving them clueless about his whereabouts.
(Didn't you say you were good at finding Li Wu?)
The small skeleton, seeing the little dragon's confusion, grew annoyed.
(You liar! You're just like Li Wu, both of you are deceivers!)
The little dragon couldn't tolerate this accusation.
Who was being compared to Li Wu?
It was not at all like Li Wu, not in the slightest!
Angered, the little dragon let out a dragon's roar in the sea.
As the little dragon roared, waves surged from all directions, and numerous younger dragons, its little brothers, rushed over, quickly filling the entire sea area.
(Although the little dragon didn't know where to find Li Wu, it knew how to go about it.
We'll find our little brothers and have them search for Li Wu. With enough of them, we're bound to locate him.)
Indeed, the little dragon's plan was flawless.
If it could turn all the Earth's summoned beasts into its little brothers, finding Li Wu would be a piece of cake.
The small skeleton, upon hearing this, also found the idea reliable.
Thus, on their first day out, the two simpletons naturally shifted their focus from finding Li Wu to recruiting little brothers.
The pair, along with their large group of little brothers, launched an attack on the nearby sea area's summoned beast groups, engaging in a massive brawl.
Their behavior, which had been observed by someone at Jiangnan University, caused her to frown in concern.
She had allowed them to leave, assuming they would search for Li Wu, but instead, they went straight to causing trouble. She felt an urge to capture them and give them a thorough beating.
However, she refrained from taking action and merely watched coldly as the two little troublemakers unified over a thousand kilometers of the sea area around Fort City within just one week.
...
The little dragon and the small skeleton reigned supreme in the Fort City sea area, establishing their dominance in a week.
Meanwhile, Li Wu spent the same week integrating the skills he had acquired, except for Wrath of the Gods and Fire God Strike, into the Lu Clan Sword Technique.
With the integration of one ultimate move and three signature moves, the Lu Clan Sword Technique improved slightly.
However, it still fell short of the Divine Technique level, remaining in the signature move category.
Of course, if Li Wu could merge the Divine Technique-level Fire God Strike, the Lu Clan Sword Technique might reach the Divine Technique level.
But Fire God Strike was an advanced skill, and Li Wu needed more time and energy to integrate it; seven days were not enough.
"It'll take at least a month or two to integrate Fire God Strike.
This is too long."
In the past, Li Wu wouldn't have minded spending two months, but now, he was unwilling to spare that time.
Time was of the essence.
"In two months, Feng Xiu's sealing will begin.
If I want to help him, I need to prepare in advance. There's also another matter..."
Li Wu paused, his eyes glancing towards District Eleven.
"I should make a trip back to District Eleven."
Ever since seeing those two documents, Li Wu had been burning with anger towards District Eleven and the Eighth Apostle's involvement with Sakura Hana.
After seven days of hesitation, Li Wu finally decided to return.
"I must go back, but not openly. The identity of Li Wu won't work either."
To return, Li Wu needed a new disguise.
Fortunately, he had a brilliant idea.
Wielding his longsword, Li Wu transformed his aura, exuding an evil aura as if he were an evil cultivator.
(End)
His current state was the result of merging with the evil aura.
Lu Wu referred to this state as the "Evil Cultivation State."
"With this state, I should be able to infiltrate the Zero Organization in Zone 11, but I'll need to switch swords. The Celestial Cloud Sword is too recognizable; I can't use it!"
This wasn't a difficult task.
Lu Wu could just go to Zone 11 and obtain a divine artifact.
After all, Zone 11 had plenty of divine artifacts, and the Celestial Cloud Sword's talent had granted Lu Wu the ability to wield divine artifacts.
After carefully considering and confirming that it was feasible, Lu Wu set off on his journey.
Lu Wu had a photographic memory, and he knew all the routes from Zone 12 to Zone 11. As expected, his journey was much faster.
Transforming into a lesser dragon, he rushed to the sea, and in just one day, he returned to the other side of Zone 11.
Lu Wu had seen some confidential information about Zone 11's cooperation with the Zero Organization in the Ninth Apostle's files, so he had some understanding of the organization.
Before entering Zone 11, he had already planned how to infiltrate this organization.
Joining this organization was simple; as long as he was a dark summoner strong enough and ruthless enough, recruitment would be easy.
Therefore, Lu Wu's task was straightforward—he just needed to start slaughtering.
And as he returned to Zone 11, Lu Wu already had a target for his killing spree—the Ryuu Clan!
He chose this clan because they were the ones who had initially captured the Cherry Blossom Family, taking advantage of the opportunity to seize their assets.
Given this, when Lu Wu needed to kill, the first target that came to mind was naturally them.
...
Sakuragi City, or what used to be Sakuragi City.
After a few months.
Lu Wu returned to this place, and everything had changed.
The city, now known as Ryuu Sei City, had a new owner for the former Sakuragi family's castle.
Ironically, the city hadn't declined with the change in leadership; instead, it seemed even more prosperous.
The city's population had grown significantly.
The streets were bustling with increased activity.
Even the Sakuragi family's castle, with its decades of history, had been renovated by the new owner.
The entire city, inside and out, exuded a vibrant and thriving atmosphere.
This was the sight that Ryuu Sei loved the most.
Each time he stood at the peak of Ryuu Sei City, overlooking the city that now belonged to him, more prosperous than ever, a sense of pride would well up within him.
He would murmur to himself, "Indeed, I was right. I am more suitable to be the master of this city than the Sakuragi family."
"The Ryuu Clan indeed manages better than the Sakuragi family."
Lu Wu, upon entering the city, echoed these words.
From the perspective of city development, Ryuu Sei's words were spot on.
In the 6191st chapter, the version without errors!
He truly had done a better job than the Sakuragi family.
Lu Wu acknowledged this, but it didn't stop him from taking action against the Ryuu Clan.
However, he needed a reason to act; he couldn't just start trouble without cause. Lu Wu was a man of principles, and such unprincipled actions were not his style.
Just as Lu Wu was pondering a reason to cause trouble for the Ryuu Clan, a commotion erupted on the street where he was standing.
Lu Wu looked up and saw a youth dressed in fine clothing, riding a newly summoned beast and accompanied by a group of bodyguards, parading through the city.
It was quite a spectacle.
Lu Wu glanced at the attributes of the youth's summoned beast, and a slight smile appeared on his face as an idea formed.
Thus, Lu Wu approached the unfortunate youth, blocking the path of the youth's entourage.
This youth was Ryuu Masaru, the son of the current city lord and the biggest young master in the city. However, despite his status, his personality was surprisingly meek.
As Lu Wu boldly stood in the middle of the road, blocking his way, Ryuu Masaru, after a moment of eye contact, prepared to move aside.
Lu Wu was taken aback, touching his nose, and then moved a few steps in the direction Ryuu Masaru had taken to block him again.
Lu Wu's bold actions caused the onlookers to gasp in surprise.
Ryuu Masaru, lacking in spirit, tried to move aside again, but Lu Wu blocked him once more.
Lu Wu's repeated reckless behavior made the spectators break out in a cold sweat.
Despite Lu Wu's intentions, Lu Chuancheng remained unprovoked. Instead, after the third attempt, he halted his actions and pitifully gazed at Li Wu amidst the astonished onlookers. "May I ask if there's something I can assist you with?" he inquired. "If there's anything I can help with, please let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate you!"
Li Wu smirked, as the other party wasn't following his script, but as a dedicated actor, he continued with his performance, hands on hips, assuming a particularly authoritative stance towards the cowardly second-generation individual. "Your summoned beast just glared at me, and I was quite startled by it. You owe me compensation!"
Lu Chuancheng glanced at the summoned beast, whose eyes were filled with innocence and tears welling up, and then deeply bowed to Li Wu. "I offer my sincere apologies. It's my fault for failing to educate it properly. Please name your desired compensation, and I'll present it to you without hesitation."
Upon hearing Lu Chuancheng's words, everyone was left in disbelief. Their gazes towards him were akin to discovering a new continent. Thoughts of 'Is this even possible?' filled their minds.
The bolder ones among them began to ponder, sensing a newfound path to wealth. They contemplated replicating Lu Chuancheng's actions, believing it could be their ticket to success.
Li Wu paid no heed to the thoughts of those around him. His eyes remained fixed on Lu Chuancheng, scrutinizing him.
Li Wu could sense the other man trembling. He understood the reason for this reaction; it was evident that the man had recognized his identity.
Of course, this identity wasn't that of Li Wu, the upright and honest individual, but rather that of a Dark Summoner.
From the moment Li Wu entered the city, he had activated his Dark Summoner state. While ordinary people might not notice, Lu Chuancheng's bodyguards could sense the dark aura emanating from Li Wu.
This was the true reason for Lu Chuancheng's timidity. It also provided Li Wu with a deeper understanding of the terrifying influence of the Zero Organization in Zone 11.
The mere presence of dark aura was enough to make a second-generation individual bow in submission. The might of the Zero Organization was truly awe-inspiring.
However, this situation left Li Wu with a slight headache.
With the other party so readily submitting, it became challenging for Li Wu to continue with his intended script.
Initially, he had planned to play the role of a pig to devour the tiger, allowing himself to be bullied before unleashing a powerful strike to eliminate the small fry, which would then attract the big fish, whom he would also defeat.
Unfortunately, this perfectly crafted plan had already fallen apart at the beginning.
Li Wu had no choice but to touch his nose in resignation. "Never mind, never mind. I'm not a bad person."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuancheng heaved a sigh of relief, secretly applauding his own extreme submissiveness. However, Li Wu's next words caught him off guard.
"Just compensate me with a dozen or so Legendary-quality items, and we'll consider this matter settled!"
"What?" Lu Chuancheng almost choked on his words.
Legendary-quality items? A dozen of them? Was Li Wu planning to rob him?
Wait, no, Li Wu was already in the process of doing so.
"What's the matter? Do you have an issue with that?" Li Wu's anger surged. "Your summoned beast scared me so much that I nearly had a heart attack. I'm only asking for a dozen Legendary-quality items, and you dare to object? Are you not taking me, a real estate agent, seriously?"
As Li Wu's anger intensified, the dark aura surrounding him became almost tangible. This terrifying aura caused Lu Chuancheng, who had initially harbored some objections, to completely surrender. His legs turned soft, and he knelt down, pleading for mercy.
"I have no objections, no objections at all. I'll send someone home to retrieve them immediately." Lu Chuancheng signaled to his bodyguard, who quickly understood his intentions. The bodyguard sprinted home to report the incident to Lu Chuanfeng, the current lord of the city.
At that moment, Lu Chuanfeng was in a meeting with a mysterious individual. Upon learning that a suspected Lord-level Dark Summoner had entered his city, blocked his son's path, and demanded a dozen Legendary items, Lu Chuanfeng's attention immediately shifted to the mysterious person beside him.
The mysterious person took a sip of tea. "Don't look at me. It's not my person.
Most likely, it's not someone from the Zero Organization either. You can handle it as you see fit, and once you're done, bring the person over. I've been short-staffed recently, and if they're suitable, I'll take them in."
"Yes, sir!" Lu Chuanfeng respectfully bowed to the mysterious person and then dispatched his subordinates to handle the matter.
The fearsome aspect of a Dark Summoner lay in their connection to the Zero Organization. Since the individual wasn't affiliated with the Zero Organization, there was nothing to fear...
