My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 220 - 217 Study Abroad Exchange

August 20th.

Jiangnan University commenced its new academic term.

On this day, Zhang Wentao arrived at the school bright and early.

He greeted everyone he met with a smile, radiating pride and joy.

Indeed, Old Zhang had been in a great mood lately.

Firstly, he had accepted Lu Wu, a student with the potential of a Grandmaster.

Meanwhile, Jiangbei had been courting disaster repeatedly.

They first tried to plagiarize Lu Wu's cultivation plan to sabotage, but instead of causing trouble, it backfired, landing Lin Huai and Zhou Kai in hot water.

Then, Jiangbei University made another baffling move.

They actually appointed the Governor of Jiangbei's daughter, Zhang Yuechu, as the head of Jiangbei University, putting them at odds with the Education Bureau.

This directly led to Jiangbei University losing a significant amount of resources.

Also revealing the fact of Jiangbei University being a 'family school' prompted students who had initially applied there to switch to other schools.

Jiangbei University became entangled in its own troubles.

Seeing his old rival in such a state brought immense joy to Zhang Wentao.

What delighted him even more was the current progress of Jiangbei University.

His primary concern was the "University League."

In this regard, the team leader that Li Mingrui had found was quite commendable and gave Zhang Wentao a pleasant surprise.

He believed that under his leadership, Jiangnan would definitely make a mark in this year's league.

Lastly, what thrilled Zhang Wentao to no end was Lu Wu.

The boy's growth had completely exceeded his expectations.

Especially during the plagiarism incident, he had come up with an evolution plan involving the "Iron Armor Wild Boar."

Not only did this plan make Lu Wu a fortune, but more importantly, it presented Lu Wu with the opportunity to earn the title of a Master Level Cultivation Master.

When Zhang Wentao first took notice of Lu Wu, he was counting on showcasing him in the upcoming Cultivation Master competition to secure some resources for Jiangnan University.

However, unexpectedly, Lu Wu no longer qualified to compete.

Well, he was nearly a Master now, why would he compete? Wouldn't that be akin to bullying?

"The headquarters is already processing it, and if all goes well, Lu Wu should be able to don the Master's title next month.

A 19-year-old Cultivation Master, and specifically a Master in the domain of the White Bone Wild Boar, his presence should secure additional resources for Jiangnan University next year."

"Furthermore, given his rate of growth, it should only take him a year to fully mature, making the next year's university league undoubtedly dominated by Jiangnan."

Thinking about this got Zhang Wentao's blood boiling.

He felt rejuvenated, as if his back and legs no longer ached.

Just as Zhang Wentao was reveling in his good fortune, a domineering and wild roar erupted, enveloping the whole of Jiangnan University.

The roar made everyone's heart at Jiangnan University skip a beat, nearly causing Zhang Wentao to twist his ankle in his joyful stride.

While the people were somewhat okay, it was tragic for the Summoned Beasts.

During this roar, ninety-one percent of the summoning beasts at Jiangnan University kneeled.

The Elites were trembling on the ground, and those above Elite level, though not lying down, looked utterly panicked.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as Lu Wu's group.

When the roar sounded, Little Skeleton was completely focused on playing with his phone, unfazed.

Tuantuan hid in the mountains as if nothing had happened, and Green Cub?

It was held in Lu Wu's arms, just as fond of Lu Wu as its companion Dudu, always gazing at and sticking close to him.

To outsiders, it would appear that Lu Wu was their real master.

Little Goldfish was frolicking in the sea, and Lin Jianying had told Lu Wu a few days ago that he was going out to train in a secret realm and hadn't returned since. In the 042 squad, the only one reacting to the roar was Silly.

This silly bird was looking up at the sky with bright eyes, even making a couple of calls.

It was almost as if it was beckoning someone to come down and fight.

What Lu Wu hadn't expected was that Silly's calls actually managed to summon the creature above them.

With a 'swoosh,'

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

A whirlwind kicked up a great cloud of dust. Lu Wu instinctively closed his eyes, and when he felt the dust settle and opened them, he found a massive bird, a very large bird, had landed before him.

Lu Wu then checked its attributes.

...

Name: Xuan Que (???)

Power: ???

Quality: ???

?????

...

Well, besides its name, everything else was a question mark.

As Lu Wu examined the bird's attributes, it suddenly vanished into thin air, and two human figures along with two summoned beasts appeared before him.

The one in front had an aura stretched over eight hundred meters, dotted with question marks.

As for the one behind, Lu Wu hadn't gotten the chance to look before the one in front blocked his view.

"Are you Lu Wu? The adopted son of Jiang Yue Xing?"

"Uh."

It was the first time Lu Wu had seen someone directly address a rich woman by name, and combined with the question marks on the person, even if Lu Wu was naive, he knew this was someone powerful and immediately acted respectfully and obediently.

"It's me!"

Zhang Yuechu looked at the guy in front of her, who looked unremarkable and honest. For some reason, she felt an affinity towards him, as if he were a long-lost younger brother.

Her tone unconsciously softened a bit.

"You're pretty good, how about coming to my Jiangbei?"

"Jiangbei?" Lu Wuyi was startled.

Just then, the bigwigs from Jiangnan, led by Zhang Wentao, rushed over.

"Miss Zhang, we did not expect your visit today, and apologize for not welcoming you from afar."

Zhang Wentao ran ahead, squeezing Lu Wuyi behind him, blocking him in front of Zhang Yuechu.

Lu Wuyi hadn't reacted yet when Zhao Kai Ming and others also arrived, all intentionally or unintentionally keeping Lu Wuyi away from the woman in front.

After all, this woman was infamous for being unreasonable, and Lu Wuyi had caused Jiangbei to lose two big shots, who knew if she might suddenly make a move on Lu Wuyi.

And now Lu Wuyi also realized who the girl full of question marks was.

She was the notorious Zhang Yuechu, the Governor of Jiangbei's only daughter who recently made headlines by crippling a Master Level Summoner.

Lu Wuyi suddenly felt a chill and instinctively stepped back.

Boys need to protect themselves when outside.

Such a fierce woman was better kept at a distance, as the people from the Education Bureau would act on impulse, and his slight frame was no match for a slap from them.

But soon, Lu Wuyi's confidence returned.

Because at that moment, a woman appeared on the scene.

She was his "rich woman."

Seeing his rich woman there, Lu Wuyi no longer felt any back or leg pain.

He felt he could once again show off with pleasure.

Yes, show off.

He was clear on these things.

On the first day of school, coming over with a girl was obviously to show dominance, and Lu Wuyi felt his moment to show off had arrived!

But now Lu Wuyi was squeezed a bit too far away to see the girl's attribute.

He was not sure if he could pull it off.

Well, no need to be sure now, as Lu Wuyi soon realized he had no chance at all.

Jiang Yuexing came over, gave Zhao Kai Ming a look, and then Zhao Kai Ming came over and took Lu Wuyi away.

"Uncle Zhao, why run? They are clearly here to cause trouble. Leave it to me, I'll handle this clearly for you.

Besides, my godmother is here; that girl won't be able to stir up any waves."

Lu Wuyi did not notice, but when he said this, Zhang Yuechu glanced at Jiang Yuexing, making Jiang Yuexing very uncomfortable.

She was somewhat panicky, but unwilling to show weakness.

In such a situation, she could not retreat.

"Yuexing..."

"Governor Jiang, please address me as Vice Principal Zhang, I am here today representing Jiangbei University for an exchange with Jiangnan University."

Hmm, Lu Wuyi guessed right, Zhang Yuechu was here to show dominance.

But showing dominance isn't something one just does; one has to see if the opportunity is given.

And Jiangnan clearly wasn't planning to give her that chance.

Zhang Wentao immediately stepped forward, "I'm sorry, Vice Principal Zhang, today is the opening day of Jiangnan University..."

"Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, the exchange I meant involves study tours, and your Jiangnan University is the first stop, and also the last."

"Study tour exchange?!!"

As soon as Zhang Yuechu said this, the big shots from Jiangnan were all stunned.

Even Zhao Kai Ming, who was dragging Lu Wuyi away, stopped in his tracks.

Nearby, Lu Wuyi was somewhat dumbfounded: "What is a study tour exchange?!"

Zhao Kai Ming's expression was complicated, and after a moment, he explained to Lu Wuyi.

"The so-called study tour exchange is a mechanism created decades ago by a powerful individual.

Before the university tournaments, the ranking of Summoner Universities was decided by the Education Bureau through a non-transparent judgment.

Many universities weren't satisfied with their rankings, and one powerful individual stood up under the banner of 'study tour exchange' and challenged all the universities ranked above theirs.

This forced the Education Bureau to improve their school's ranking.

Since then, the mechanism of a study tour exchange took shape and was popular for over a decade.

But because during those years, many students died, the Education Bureau had to intervene and created the university tournaments to determine the rankings.

Afterward, 'study tour exchanges' gradually became unused.

I didn't expect her to bring this up today, and even placing Jiangnan as the first stop."

As Zhao Kai Ming explained, Lu Wuyi understood.

It turned out this girl wasn't just targeting Jiangnan University; she was challenging all universities.

"But why did she pick Jiangnan as the first? You seem very surprised."

"The study tour exchanges over those years developed certain rules.

There were exchanges that involved students only, and some involved both students and teachers. Generally, a university is chosen as a starting point, then all are challenged in turn, returning to the starting point to challenge it again.

Generally, the starting point of the tour is chosen to be stronger than one's own university. This..."

Lu Wuyi understood again: "So, our Jiangnan University is going to be crushed twice?"
