My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 233 - 230 promoted to leader?

Facing Dudu's glaring eyes,

the old man declared,

"What are you looking at? It's no use looking at me; I will still say it!

I, the old man, cannot be subdued by might!"

Afterward, the old man and Lu Wu began all kinds of research on Little Skeleton,

discussing from all angles the possibility of turning Little Skeleton into a girl.

Little Skeleton was shocked.

Did Lu Wu want to turn Little Skeleton into something that looked like Dudu?

Little Skeleton refused, Dudu was too ugly, and Little Skeleton did not want to change into that. If it had to change, it would prefer to become like Tuantuan.

That way, it wouldn't have to walk and could be held by Lu Wu.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

However, if it became like Tuantuan, then playing with a smartphone as a pig's trotter would be rather inconvenient.

This was a problem.

Little Skeleton hesitated for a moment and, when it came to being held by Lu Wu and playing with a smartphone, Little Skeleton ultimately chose both.

Hmm, which means Little Skeleton is a bit better after all.

It could both play with a smartphone and let Lu Wu hold it, even cover Lu Wu with a blanket.

So Little Skeleton absolutely would not change!

As for Lu Wu, he had no intention of actually changing Little Skeleton.

He brought Little Skeleton out not because he wanted to feminize it, but because Lu Wu realized that the old man's cultivation level was really not low.

Especially in terms of the Undead Type, the little old man was much more knowledgeable than him.

Even though some of his ideas were full of gambling, particularly liking those with great risks and great destructive forces, Lu Wu could still learn quite a bit from him.

So he brought out Little Skeleton, ostensibly to talk about feminization, but in reality, he wanted to use the old man's knowledge to research Little Skeleton's second evolution.

In this regard, the little old man gave Lu Wu three different directions.

"If Little Skeleton is to become a girl, first, you need to give it a flesh body. Without a body of flesh, you can't make it transform out of thin air.

But since it's an Undead Type, you can't just say it will have a flesh body and make it so.

Therefore, you need to operate. Hasn't it not gone through its Second Evolution yet? Isn't it following the Mage path?

If you fit it with the heart of a Witch Demon, perhaps you could let the little guy evolve into a half-Witch Demon, half-Skeleton being.

If this step is successful, then what follows is easy.

It would be very simple to turn it into a girl."

Lu Wu pondered for a moment.

"This is quite interesting, but it requires high precision, and a Witch Demon's heart is not so easy to obtain.

Even if I managed to get one, Little Skeleton wouldn't be able to master it right now."

The old man thought about it and then offered another suggestion, "Or you dismantle Little Skeleton's skeleton, leave only its head, then you find a Bone Dragon, chop off the Bone Dragon's head and attach Little Skeleton's head on it.

Perhaps with one evolution, Little Skeleton would evolve into a Little Skeleton Bone Dragon, and then it would have a chance to become a busty young lady?"

Lu Wu thought about it and decided it was unreliable.

"Even the weakest Bone Dragon is of Lord Level, and they're even rarer than Witch Demons. Not to mention whether I can get one, even if I did, it would be very difficult to succeed with the head swap."

"Well, then there's only one last method left, to train it up. Train it beyond a Lord, and perhaps it will turn into a beautiful girl on its own."

Great, the old man's suggestion was as good as not saying anything.

Lu Wu quickly got the old man back on track, focusing on Little Skeleton's evolution and setting aside the feminization, just discussing Little Skeleton's second evolution.

Discussing such ordinary Second Evolutions quickly reduced the old man's enthusiasm.

Clearly, he was not interested in a non-feminized Little Skeleton.

However, after Lu Wu transferred another five hundred to him, the old man felt that the topic was still worth discussing. He offered Lu Wu plenty of advice on Little Skeleton's Second Evolution, as well as the optimization of Little Skeleton's phone.

How to put it, after this conversation,

even though things like feminization were still up in the air, whether it was Little Skeleton's evolution or the smartphone optimization, Lu Wu still made quite some gains.

Lu Wu even felt that, given some time, he could come up with an optimization plan for Little Skeleton's phone.

Lu Wu and the old man had quite a long talk. After finishing their discussion, Little Skeleton's phone was also almost ready.

The electronic library of the Cultivation Center Headquarters was moved into Little Skeleton's phone.

After getting the phone, Lu Wu checked the time and saw it was still early, just past eleven in the evening, not even midnight.

Lu Wu thought to himself, why not go and check out the "War Soul Tablet" as well.

It's always more secure to claim all the benefits possible.

Moreover, Lu Wu remembered that the "War Soul Tablet" seemed to have an impact on the Summoned Beast's skills and talents.

He wanted to take Little Skeleton to try it out, to see if he could speed up the awakening of its talent.

If he could directly activate Little Skeleton's talent, that would be best.

It would save Lu Wu a lot of trouble.

"Now?"

Lu Wu voiced his thoughts, and the old man wondered if it might be a little late for that.

Lu Wu waved his hand, "Add money!"

Well, then the old man thought there was no problem anymore.

He led Lu Wu and Dudu towards the War Soul Tablet.

From the old man's familiarity with the path, it was clear he came often. But as they walked, he subconsciously veered towards a small side path.

"Elder Tie, is there a reason we can't just take the main road?"

Lu Wu swallowed hard as he looked down the pitch-black narrow path.

The old man indicated that Lu Wu didn't understand.

"You can get there by the main road too, but you'll be discovered."

"Discovered? Why should we be afraid of being discovered?"

Lu Wu was a bit confused. The old man also realized by now that their visit wasn't meant to be secretive this time; they had Sun, the Deputy Director's authorization, so there was no need to sneak around.

Once he remembered this, the old man instantly became energized, emerging from the side path and leading Lu Wu towards the 'War Soul Tablet' in an open and aboveboard manner.

His mannerism was just like the time Zhang Wentao brought Lu Wu to the headquarters.

It felt almost like he was going to receive a prize.

Under the old man's guidance, Lu Wu and his group soon arrived outside an ancient-looking grand hall.

This was the War Soul Hall where the 'War Soul Tablet' was kept.

As soon as the old man arrived, he ran up obsequiously, full of self-importance.

"Open the doors for my boss, quick!"

"Sun, Deputy Director said Lu Wu may bring one Summoned Beast in, but you cannot enter!"

The old man was a bit disappointed, but he didn't show weakness in his retort.

"Who said I wanted to go in? I couldn't care less about that broken thing!"

On Lu Wu's end, he didn't hesitate much before choosing Little Skeleton.

He handed the little goldfish to Dudu: "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

With that, Lu Wu stepped into the grand hall with Little Skeleton.

Upon entering, Lu Wu's gaze was immediately drawn to the huge stone stele in the center of the hall.

"That's huge!"

The stele was eight meters tall and one meter thick, with a 'war' character engraved upon it.

Thirteen chains wrapped around the monument.

Despite standing still in the center of the hall, the stele gave Lu Wu the impression it could come to life at any moment.

While Lu Wu was observing the stele, Little Skeleton had already curiously approached it.

And, much like tourists snapping photos, it took out a phone and 'click', snapped a picture of the stele.

It was an utterly ordinary action.

Neither Lu Wu nor Little Skeleton thought anything of it.

But as the 'click' sounded, the bound stele trembled violently as if offended.

The thirteen chains hummed ominously.

Lu Wu saw that among the previously inscrutable attributes of the [War Soul Tablet], a [Fury] state had appeared.

Before Lu Wu could even process why the stele would become enraged, a faint, almost imperceptible voice arose.

"War!"

With the 'war' character's manifestation, all thirteen chains on the stele snapped at their roots.

A terrifying and indescribable power spread out. Lu Wu and Little Skeleton were sent flying out of the hall and fell into unconsciousness.

And, in that moment, the grand hall collapsed.

The guards responsible for the hall, including the old man, were completely dumbfounded.

What just happened?

Lu Wu had been inside for barely a minute, right?

What could Lu Wu have done in less than a minute?

How come he was thrown out and the hall just collapsed?

Almost simultaneously, every major figure in the Cultivation Center Headquarters, even throughout Beijing, perceived the disturbance at the 'War Soul Tablet' site.

The headquarters' bigwigs all rushed to the scene.

This included those two voyeurs.

Upon everyone's arrival, all eyes were immediately fixed on the old man.

"Elder Tie, what have you stirred up this time?"

"It wasn't me, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything!"

Elder Tie was dumbfounded at the time.

He really hadn't done anything this time.

However, nobody believed him at all.

Even the guards who had just been outside the hall with him looked at the old man with suspicion.

After all, the old man's past was just too much.

Thanks to him, the headquarters needed renovation every so often, and every time he caused trouble, he had the same innocent and clueless expression.

This time was no different, and his acting was particularly convincing, almost real.

Yuan Hua didn't waste words, nor did he show any intent to investigate.

Once he confirmed that Lu Wu and Little Skeleton were simply in a coma and the War Soul Tablet had calmed down after a burst of activity, his gaze fell on the old man.

"The costs for renovating the hall and resealing the War Soul Tablet will be counted on your head," he said.

The old man felt wronged.

He really wanted to argue, this time it truly wasn't his fault, he was just an onlooker.

All of this was caused by Lu Wu, although he had no idea how Lu Wu had done it.

But as he was about to speak, the old man swallowed his words back down.

On one hand, he knew that his character was already set in stone, and no one would believe him anyway.

On the other hand, the old man felt that if he had a lot of debts, adding a little more didn't make much difference since he couldn't pay them off anyway- he might as well shoulder them.

If he didn't take the blame, the money would be charged to Lu Wu's account, and he would have no way to make money if Lu Wu went bankrupt.

So, he had no choice, for the sake of money.

The old man could only take the blame upon himself.

...

The old man bravely took on the blame.

Lu Wu, on the other hand, was in a completely special state.

When the 'War Soul Tablet' had just erupted,

An indescribable, unique power surged directly into the foreheads of Lu Wu and Little Skeleton.

Under this power, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton fell into unconsciousness.

But although their bodies were unconscious, their consciousness was indeed awake.

Or rather, their consciousness was in a special state.

Lu Wu felt as if the world was spinning, and the scenery before his eyes had completely changed.

At this moment, he was no longer in the grand hall of the Cultivation Center Headquarters, but in an extremely wild world.

In front of Lu Wu, there appeared a stone monument of unimaginable size.

Beneath the monument stood a group of giant beings, each seemingly a hundred meters tall, staring at him with massive eyes.

As Lu Wu and the group of giants locked eyes,

The giants roared out loud.

"Battle!"

With a single 'battle' cry, an invisible wave of sound surged, striking at Lu Wu's consciousness.

This force, which condensed sound and consciousness, almost completely shattered Lu Wu's consciousness.

Lu Wu felt his very avatar of consciousness beginning to tear apart bit by bit, starting with his fingertips.

This kind of pain was excruciating, making one wish to die on the spot.

Besides this direct damage, what was even more terrifying was the assault on the mind.

This simple roar invoked a sense of fear deep within Lu Wu.

It made Lu Wu want to turn tail and flee immediately.

But he did not.

Well, that wasn't because Lu Wu was brave, but rather the first wave of direct damage had already left him unable to move.

He didn't even have the strength to run, and could only stand there passively 'enjoying' it all.

Oh, actually, that's right, he was indeed enjoying it.

Because not long after the first wave of pain appeared, the Skill "Unyielding·Growth" he had acquired from Han started to activate.

An indescribable sense of relief surged through him.

This put Lu Wu into the legendary state of 'suffering yet delighted.'

In this state, a smile spread across Lu Wu's lips.

Seeing this, the giant beings opposite him were taken aback – Lu Wu was actually smiling.

How could that be allowed, wasn't that a provocation to them?

Consequently, another roar with the word 'battle' resounded.

More intense pain fell upon Lu Wu, and simultaneously, an even stronger sense of relief surged forth, making Lu Wu let out moans that were not fit to be seen.

Then the giant tribe picked a quarrel with Lu Wu.

One 'fight' roar after another rang out, immersing Lu Wu in wave after wave of pain and pleasure.

During this process, Lu Wu's consciousness grew at a terrifying speed.

But there's always a limit to everything, and this growth had its limit as well.

Soon, Lu Wu reached this limit, as the pain far exceeded the pleasure.

This was getting life-threatening, Lu Wu nearly got overwhelmed by such pain.

And just as Lu Wu was about to be overwhelmed by this pain, in reality, the silly creature from Lu Wu's house ran over to Lu Wu's side.

It could feel, it truly could feel the state Lu Wu was in at that moment.

This bad person had abandoned it to take a beating alone.

How could this be allowed? Silly wanted to join in the fun of being beaten up, too.

But it didn't know how to join in, which made Silly so anxious it almost made a sound.

Fortunately, at this moment, an old man was watching.

The old man was stunned by what he saw, hesitated for a moment, grabbed the bird, knocked it out with a slap, and placed it on top of Lu Wu.

Then he applied his Summoner Talent "Damage Sharing" on both Lu Wu and Silly.

It had to be said, the old man's assist came at just the right time.

With the Talent "Damage Sharing" in effect, both Lu Wu and Silly felt better.

Lu Wu felt better because the pain lessened, and Silly felt better because it was finally getting beaten up.

Watching Lu Wu and Silly lying together and moaning at the same time, the old man couldn't help but shake his head.

"Can't bear to watch, can't bear to watch."

Then the old man glanced at Little Skeleton.

Hmm, also in a coma, also smacked by the War Soul Tablet, Little Skeleton seemed much more comfortable, with something slowly oozing out of its bones.

But that's not to say it wasn't damaged in any way, at least Little Skeleton's phone was no longer intact.

The device might not be completely broken yet, but it had cracked.

"A phone for an opportunity, he has made a good deal.

However, he was actually knocked out by the War Soul Tablet, it seems I really mistook him for someone else.

This guy can't be that guy, but what's with this ferocity?"

The old man pondered for a while before a bold idea emerged: "Could it be that this kid is that guy's son?

Hmm, they do look a bit alike, otherwise his ferocity is inexplicable."

And almost as soon as the old man figured this out.

Two peeping toms on the other side also spotted something.

Sun Kongkong, watching from a distance as Lu Wu lay in the hospital bed experiencing pain and pleasure, turned up the corner of his mouth: "First Jiang Yuexing, then Liu Cheng, followed by Elder Tie, you can't tell me this kid has nothing to do with that guy, I wouldn't believe it.

I wonder why you're treating him so favorably, even taking the blame for Elder Tie's pot on his behalf, turns out he's your little nephew.

No, that's not right!"

Sun Kongkong paused, sorting out the relationship: "He was born to your brother-in-law, but not by your sister, does that still make him your nephew?

Um, worthy of you. If it were me, I'd catch this kid and beat him to find out where his dad is."

Yuan Hua didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard the little grandson's words.

The little grandson wasn't idle, continuing to talk to himself.

"But then again, if you really press him for his dad's whereabouts, who knows who'd win the fight. It's better to let him cool off as he's been doing recently.

However, I've heard that woman has appeared nearby recently. If she finds out about this kid's identity.

Given that woman's personality, it's hard to tell what she might do."

Yuan Hua still didn't respond.

The little grandson leaned into Yuan Hua's ear, full of mischief: "But seriously, Old Yuan, won't you get angry seeing your brother-in-law's child with another woman in front of you?

Don't you have any thoughts, like secretly putting a hood over his head and giving him a good beating?"

His actions successfully riled up Yuan Hua, and after a long silence, he raised his head to say something out of the blue: "Recently, the headquarters' budget is insufficient, Elder Tie's bill has been pressed for replenishment, and there's quite a shortcoming in the construction of War Soul Hall."

"So?"

"We'll deduct it from your salary!"

Sun Kongkong was dumbfounded at that moment.

Just as he was about to argue, the remote surveillance showed a change in the hospital room where Lu Wu was.

The bird on Lu Wu was rapidly increasing in power, and in just a moment, it seemed to be heading toward Leader Level...

...

Five thousand, plus four thousand in the morning, and another six thousand.

I'll finish it off tonight. I must see your crossdressing!
