My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 322 - 319 Undead Transformation
Lu Wu was on his way back.
Through Little Skeleton’s phone, he had looked up quite a few martial arts stick techniques in the database.
All these martial arts were from before the great disaster.
These techniques weren’t as mystical as described in novels, capable of developing inner strength or hidden power.
After all, there was no revival of spiritual energy at that time.
Of course, Lu Wu didn’t have such expectations. freewēbnoveℓ.com
He simply used these as fighting techniques to learn.
In one go, Lu Wu finished watching all 17 stick techniques available on the phone.
After watching them, Lu Wu didn’t feel much different.
Stick techniques were just combinations of few basic movements, combined with combat skills. It might be hard for ordinary people to learn, but Lu Wu had a photographic memory and the strength of a Master Summoner.
After watching once, he easily mastered these stick techniques.
However, mastering these techniques didn’t mean Lu Wu had completely understood them.
After all, these were ordinary stick techniques; simply integrating them into Lu Wu’s current combat system wouldn’t work. Lu Wu needed some rigorous training.
Real combat training would be best.
For that matter, Lu Wu already had a real combatant in mind.
Wasn’t the Skeleton General a perfect candidate for real combat practice?
Lu Wu had no intention of letting it go easily.
However, Lu Wu also didn’t want to rely on Moon Shadow’s power to defeat it.
"Have decided to use it for stick practice.
Additionally, when I get back, I’ll study whether it’s possible to transform the bones of those Lord Level Summoned Beasts into Undead."
If that was feasible, the number of Lord Level Summoned Beasts under Lu Wu’s command could reach 13. If he could bring Li Kai and Tuantuan into it, making a total of 15 Lord Level Summoned Beasts, there might be hope to compete against the adversary.
With this idea in mind, Lu Wu left the Secret Realm and returned to the base.
When Lu Wu returned, Dudu had already prepared the meal.
Oh, it was the roasted meat made from Lord Level Summoned Beasts.
And indeed, you can tell it’s Lord Level; the meat was incredibly savory.
It was also filling—Lu Wu had eaten about a kilogram and was full, then took Little Skeleton’s phone along with those Lord Level bones to study Undead Transformation.
Little Skeleton watched his own phone being taken away. He wanted to ask Lu Wu for it back but was also scared that Lu Wu would say Little Skeleton had gone bad, so in the end, he could only sulkily watch Lu Wu leave and then turned his gaze to Tuantuan, who was feasting happily, contemplating whether he should beat Tuantuan up to vent.
Well, Little Skeleton didn’t actually go through with it.
It wasn’t because he had a change of heart.
Mainly, he was afraid of being overpowered by Tuantuan.
This kind of thing had happened countless times to Little Skeleton; every time he felt inflated, he would want to fight Tuantuan, and every time he attacked Tuantuan, Tuantuan would explode in power, and then Little Skeleton would end up being beaten.
So after a few times, Little Skeleton learned his lesson—as Little Skeleton had his own pride, after all.
...
On Lu Wu’s end.
He had some experience in Undead Transformation before.
The Lin Family’s Gouzi was a product of his transformation, laying a foundation in this area for Lu Wu.
But transforming these Lord Level bones was obviously much more difficult than transforming Gouzi, due to the immense difference in power making the transformation more challenging.
However, for Lu Wu, it was merely a bit more difficult and would just take a little more time.
Thereafter, Lu Wu settled into a routine in the Changping Secret Realm.
Every morning, the first thing he did was, well, eat the breakfast prepared by Dudu and then lead his team into the Secret Realm, rushing toward the Land of Burial for three hours.
The three-hour journey was just for a three-minute battle.
Every time, they were beaten so badly that they had to flee.
Then they would return to the base to research Undead Transformation.
Lu Wu continued this routine for a week.
Over the course of the week, Lu Wu indeed made progress in various aspects.
Indeks became more familiar with the route, able to blast through two hours of travel in full force.
Lu Wu’s battles with the Skeleton General also lasted longer.
From the initial three minutes, he had increased to seven minutes. Although not reaching ten, it still was an improvement by more than double.
Moreover, the most important aspect was his research on Undead Transformation.
After a week’s work, Lu Wu had finally figured out the method for Undead Transformation.
Thus, on the eighth day since Lu Wu arrived in the Changping Secret Realm.
Lu Wu, for the first time, didn’t go to seek defeat from the Skeleton General but took those nine Lord Level bones into the Changping Secret Realm.
Today, he planned to transform these nine Lord Level bones into nine underlings for Little Skeleton.
There were three key points for this Undead Transformation.
Environment, ritual, materials!
In terms of environment, the Changping Secret Realm, being an Undead Secret Realm, was very suitable for Undead Transformation.
Furthermore, during the week, Lu Wu hadn’t just taken beatings; he had also surveyed the environment of the Changping Secret Realm and knew the most suitable place for Undead Transformation.
Of course, the best place would be the Land of Burial, but unless he utilized Moon Shadow, attempting Undead Transformation there was purely masochistic.
Thus, Lu Wu had to opt for the second best.
In the Changping Secret Realm, he found a black pool rich in negative energy as the place for Undead Transformation.
The process was actually quite simple.
Lu Wu placed the bones in the center of the pool.
He then took out materials that had been mailed from the outside world and set up a huge ritual altar around the pool.
Subsequently, he threw a large amount of materials into the dark water, and all the preparatory work was essentially completed; what was left was just to wait for the Undead to form.
Due to the need to tame them one by one, Lu Wu did not transform all the Undead at once; in the first round, he only put three Lord Level bones into the pool.
Three hours later, bubbles started emerging from the black pool.
Soon after, water churned, and three huge figures stood up.
But before Lu Wu could rejoice, there was a ’crack’ sound, and the skeletons of the three figures that had stood up shattered.
"Failed?"
Lu Wu was somewhat stunned.
He didn’t expect his luck to be this bad, to hit the 72 percent failure rate.
Helplessly, Lu Wu tried three more times, using another batch of materials and another three hours of waiting.
After three hours, water splashed again, and three enormous figures emerged.
An overwhelming power spread out at that moment.
This time, the introduction was clearly much bigger than the last, and Lu Wu was particularly excited.
However, just when he thought it was going to be successful,
with a "crack," those three summoned beasts also collapsed.
Lu Wu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Failed again."
Lu Wu’s forehead was throbbing. With a twenty-eight percent success rate, this was the first time he had experienced consecutive failures. After all, he was the type of man who could turn a seven percent chance into a certainty.
"That’s why I hate these uncontrollable rituals the most!"
Previously, Lu Wu could monitor nurturing processes closely.
But with these rituals, once they started, they were out of his hands; he couldn’t interfere in the process.
Interfering would cause the ritual to collapse.
Relying entirely on luck like this was something Lu Wu found truly disheartening.
He also felt a bit resentful. Wasn’t his luck usually better?
How could he possibly fail twice in a row?
"This is the last of the three corpses. I hope it works, otherwise my stock is gone."
With those words, Lu Wu threw the last and most potent three corpses into the dark pool.
As the bones were cast in, another three-hour countdown began.
Time slowly passed as Lu Wu waited.
Three hours later,
the entire pool of dark water suddenly began to boil.
At the same time, three terrifying presences spread out.
Accompanied by a tiger’s roar, a bear’s growl, and a sound from the Jiao Python, that was like a chant.
"It worked!"
This time, Lu Wu was one hundred percent certain it had been a success.
Indeed, moments later, three massive figures burst from the pool, and Lu Wu saw the figures of three summoned beasts before him.
A three-meter tall, six-meter long black bone tiger whose bones connected like armor across its body.
A five-meter tall bone bear, its bones linked with bone armor, looking incredibly burly.
And a roughly twenty-meter long creature, its bones tinted with a blue hue, uncertain whether it was a Jiao or a Python.
...

Power: 3 stars (Lord)
Quality: Ordinary (Gold) (Enhanced)

State: Calm ("I am alive again")
Weakness: Light (Strong)
...
These three summoned beasts had all been close to King-level during their lifetimes.
Lu Wu and Moon Shadow had managed to slay them.
After the transformation, although their bodies had shrunk somewhat and their strength decreased slightly, they still possessed a Lord 3-star level.
"Not bad."
Lu Wu was quite satisfied; although he had failed twice, the success of this last attempt made up for the previous failures.
"What are you waiting for? Attack, bring these guys down!"
At Lu Wu’s command, he took the lead, pulling out a large stick and charging directly at the giant bear.
Little Skeleton called out his minions, coordinating with Han to fight the tiger.
The last Jiao Dragon was tackled by the Bone Dragon and Little Flood Dragon together.
It must be said that these three bone dragons were quite strong.
Lu Wu had to resort to all his tricks to barely capture them.
One by one, they were subdued, and Lu Wu went over to cajole each with Little Skeleton.
Considering these summoned beasts were stronger than Little Skeleton, Little Skeleton couldn’t force them into submission; he had to rely on trickery, which was not a challenge for Lu Wu.
After all, he was a man titled as the Summoned Beast Playboy, able to clearly see their states and tailor his approach accordingly, making it easy to hoodwink these three big fellows.
Having dealt with these three big guys, Lu Wu’s power had greatly increased.
Now, he felt it was time to launch a full assault on those guys in the Land of Burial!
