My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 326 - 323 Dragon Knight Concept

"Crossing from Bandit" is a fantasy game web novel written by Nu Xiao.

The novel mainly tells the story of a guy named Lu Haikong who travels to a game-based Three Kingdoms world. Starting as a mountain bandit, he gradually grows to dominate the world.

Although the early stages of the plot are somewhat indescribable, once you get past that and connect to the brainwaves, it’s still an acceptable book.

At least Lu Wu liked it.

However, when Lu Wu got the reading impressions from Little Skeleton about this book, he was dumbfounded.

"Come, come, come, tell me, what does ’in conclusion’ mean? That the author, Nu Xiao, is as handsome and awesome as Lu Wuyi?"

"Tell me, what is your ’in conclusion’ concluding?

How come I didn’t see you write anything earlier?

And how is Nu Xiao as handsome as me?

Is that written in his book? Did you see it? What kind of joke is that!"

Lu Wu was so angry he was nearly bald!

"Nu Xiao is definitely handsomer than me, alright.

Go back and rewrite this mess.

This time change the subject to an essay, a character description.

Yes, write about Nu Xiao, from the outside to the inside, praise him from head to tail in a hundred and eighty thousand words."

Clearly, Lu Wu was making it difficult for Little Skeleton.

What kind of person is Nu Xiao?

With so many merits, can it be done in a mere hundred and eighty thousand words?

Alas, poor Little Skeleton finally started to experience the horror known as "homework."

After shackling Little Skeleton with homework.

Without the interference of Little Skeleton, Lu Wu continued to live that close and fulfilling life with the Skeleton General.

Their life together was incredibly fulfilling.

Every day consisted of three things: battles, discussing Skills, or martial techniques, and performing serious physical examinations on the Skeleton General.

The Skeleton General was quite cooperative with Lu Wu in all aspects.

Be it in battle, discussing martial techniques, or physical exams.

Once they got familiar, the Skeleton General basically let Lu Wu do whatever he wanted.

With the Skeleton General’s cooperation, everything proceeded very smoothly on Lu Wu’s side.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Wu made significant breakthroughs in various aspects.

First was the physical examination.

Lu Wu examined the Skeleton General’s body, with a simple goal of finding a way for Little Skeleton’s third evolution from him.

In this area, Lu Wu proceeded very smoothly, and within half a month, he already had an idea for Little Skeleton’s third evolution.

And he even came up with a plan.

Although the success rate of this plan seemed somewhat low, according to the system’s information, if the plan succeeded, Little Skeleton’s combat power would terrifyingly skyrocket.

Apart from the evolution plan for Little Skeleton, there was also the combat aspect with the Skeleton General.

During this half-month.

Lu Wu would end up fighting the Skeleton General every single day.

Even if they couldn’t have a big fight, they’d still have a small one.

Although after each fight, both Lu Wu and silly Han would be as tired as dogs, covered in wounds all over.

But because on one hand they had the "Unyielding·Growth" Skill, and on the other hand, they had the Green Cub from Dudu’s family—a King-level Quality Healing Summon Beast.

Plus the money from Lu Wu’s house, they were able to continuously replenish various resources for themselves and Han.

So, Lu Wu’s injuries were always quickly healed.

At first it took three days, but later, within a day’s time, Lu Wu could fully recover.

No matter how beat up he was the previous day, the next day Lu Wu would still come out lively, indicating that he, Lu Wu, could still take a beating.

Besides being more resilient, Lu Wu’s power also greatly increased after half a month.

Silly Han’s power directly reached Lord 2 Star, stepping ahead of Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon.

On Lu Wu’s side, his "Mad Demon Stick Technique" had reached the peak of Master Level, barely touching the boundaries of Grandmaster Level.

Additionally, the Skeleton General also passed on his two sets of Sword Skills, "Battlefield" and "Slaughter," to Lu Wu,

but he just wouldn’t teach Lu Wu the final "Slaughter" no matter what.

However, even without "Slaughter," just "Battlefield" and "Slaughter" alone made Lu Wu’s combat style much more diverse, indirectly boosting his combat power. Now, he was more than 50% stronger than half a month ago.

He could almost trounce the version of himself from half a month ago.

Unfortunately, Lu Wu was still unable to defeat the Skeleton General.

This wasn’t because the Skeleton General was holding back his Big Move, but because the Skeleton General was keeping a grip on three Grandmaster Skills.

Over the past half month, Lu Wu had come to realize that when he previously engaged with the Skeleton General, the latter had not been fighting at full strength—the opponent had not fully unleashed his Grandmaster-level Sword Skills.

Once the opponent unleashed Grandmaster-level Sword Skills, even now, Lu Wu couldn’t withstand even 10 strikes from him, and that was when the opponent wasn’t even using their Big Move.

If the Skeleton General did use his Big Move, Lu Wu felt he might not withstand even a single strike.

Grandmaster-level Sword Skills, terrifying indeed!

It was precisely because of the terrifying nature of the Grandmaster-level sword skill that Lu Wu had been struggling for over half a month and still hadn’t achieved a breakthrough.

For Lu Wu, who was essentially "cheating," this was a moderately frustrating setback.

Changping Secret Realm, Land of Burial.

After yet another failure to master the Mad Demon Stick Technique, Lu Wu lay on the ground, looking utterly dejected.

The Skeleton General beside him extended a hand and comforted him,

"You needn’t be too anxious. Your Mad Demon Stick Technique is about to undergo a metamorphosis, just give it some time and it will naturally advance."

Lu Wu grabbed the skeletal hand and stood up, "I know, it’s just that I feel somewhat reluctant not to break through and defeat you before I leave. But it’s okay, since you can’t leave anyway, I’ll just come back and thrash you once I’ve made my breakthrough."

"Are you leaving?"

The Skeleton General’s Pupil Fire flickered slightly.

"Yes, I’m leaving in a couple of days. Oh, I have something for you."

Lu Wu took out a smartphone from his pocket and handed it to the Skeleton General.

"A smartphone?"

"You were curious about Little Skeleton’s smartphone, right? I got you one, with a massive battery life. Although you can’t connect to the internet due to the realm, there are plenty of movies and apps installed. You can watch TV or play with it when you’re bored.

Consider it a parting gift, thanks for looking after me these past weeks."

The Skeleton General looked at the smartphone in his hand, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his longsword.

He lifted the sword, and a series of orderly footsteps arose; shortly after, the Skeleton General’s Undead Army had assembled.

"Old Bone, what’s this about?"

Lu Wu’s eyes lit up upon seeing this.

"Don’t you want to pick some minions for Little Skeleton? Go ahead!

Oh, and don’t choose any Lords, I can’t give them to you anyway since they can’t leave just like I can’t!"

"I figured as much!"

During his stay, Lu Wu had checked the Skeleton General’s condition, not just for nothing. He had discovered early on that the Skeleton General and this Land of Burial seemed to be closely linked and that it couldn’t leave this area.

If it weren’t for that, Lu Wu would’ve even thought about taking Old Bone away.

However, though he couldn’t select Old Bone or any Lord-level skeletons, there were still many promising candidates within the Undead Army.

Lu Wu quickly picked out 30 three-star Leader Skeleton Elites from the ranks of the Skeleton General’s command.

Name: Skeleton Elite (Second Evolution)

Power: 3 stars (Leader)

Quality: Silver (Upgraded)

Attribute: Undead, Skeleton

State: Confused (Are we leaving the Land of Burial?)

Weakness: Light (Strong)

Talent Skill details omitted.

Lu Wu did not immediately bind these thirty Skeleton Elites to Little Skeleton.

Partly because Little Skeleton hadn’t yet established connections with the previous dozen or so minions, and partly because Lu Wu had other plans for them.

In fact, regarding Little Skeleton’s minions,

Lu Wu’s original plan was like before, to directly transform these undead into thirty Lord-level minions for Little Skeleton.

Over the past half-month, Lu Wu had also been bringing in Lord-level Summoned Beast corpses from outside, but those attempts had mostly failed.

Lu Wu discerned a pattern: at the very least, it required Lord Peak-Level specimens to succeed in the transformation.

Moreover, even if the transformation was successful, the Undead’s power was essentially locked at that level, with no possibility of further increase.

Not only that, even their power might continuously decline.

During this half-month, Lu Wu clearly felt the power of those three new minions declining.

Hence, Lu Wu ultimately abandoned the route of transforming Undead to provide minions for Little Skeleton.

Since Old Bone was generous in giving out minions, Lu Wu decided, like he did with the Steel Armor Skeleton Knights before, to create a batch of Skeleton Knights to replace Little Skeleton’s current minions.

Now that the knights were sorted, all that was left was to sort out mounts, and Lu Wu was confident he could provide a Lord-level cavalry minion for Little Skeleton.

Regarding the mounts, Lu Wu already had an idea in mind.

Hadn’t he excavated a Dragon Tomb on Dragon Island?

That was Bone Dragon’s old home. Although many of the dragon bones there were incomplete, with a bit of extra stuff, combined with this group of Skeleton Elites in tow, Lu Wu felt there was hope to concoct a group of Dragon Knights.

Thinking about it, the scene of thirty Dragon Knights soaring up at his command exhilarated Lu Wu.

Besides, Lu Wu was also quietly mulling over, why not throw Indeks and Little Skeleton together and turn his Little Skeleton into a Dragon Knight as well.

Well, that was one of the plans for Little Skeleton’s third Evolution that Lu Wu had recently come up with.

This was also one of the reasons why he was in such a rush to leave.

Little Skeleton’s power had reached Lord 1 Star, which was nearly the limit of its growth; if Lu Wu didn’t finalize its third Evolution soon, Little Skeleton’s power would not be able to advance.
