My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 228 - 225 Review

Beijing, Cultivation Center Headquarters.

A sudden dragon tail shattered Gutian's palm wind and sent him flying.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

But Gutian's power was not ordinary, and the tail hadn't really seriously injured him.

However, the person who had struck had intimidated Gutian.

"Liu Cheng, is it you? How dare you assault someone in our Cultivation Center?"

Clutching his chest, Gutian got up with a ferocious look on his face and shouted in Lu Wu's direction.

Yet no one appeared.

It was as if there was never anyone there.

Gutian's face darkened, and his gaze fixed on Lu Wu; he still hadn't given up the opportunity to get a hold of Lu Wu's phone.

"You won't come out, huh? Fine, let's see if you can keep hiding."

As Gutian was about to make a move, a booming shout interrupted him.

"Have you caused enough trouble!"

At the same time, an old man wearing a Tang suit appeared on the scene.

Seeing the newcomer, Gutian's face changed; he knew he had temporarily lost his opportunity. With a cold snort and a wave of his hand, he was ready to leave, waiting for another chance, but the man called out to him: "Deputy Director Gu, you initiate a fight without justification at the headquarters, leading to Principal Zhang from Jiangnan University being seriously injured and on the verge of death. Are you planning to just leave like this?"

"What do you want then?"

Gutian did not try to explain; it was pointless and unnecessary.

He actually wished to see what a director, whom he was about to push into retirement, could do to him.

The old man in the Tang suit stepped towards Gutian and said word by word, "It's not about what I want, it's about what you should do!

Lu Wu was broadcasting live from the headquarters, and that does not violate any of the headquarters' regulations.

You were the first to make a move, and you caused Principal Zhang's severe injuries; the responsibility lies with you.

So you must provide compensation.

One million points for Principal Zhang's side, plus, considering your recent behavior, I don't think you are suitable to review Lu Wu's Master Cultivator certification.

You need to hand over this task."

"No!"

Gutian decisively refused: "I'll pay the one million points compensation, but his review must be done by me!"

Reviewing Lu Wu was a chance for him to get a hold of the phone and a chance to suppress Lu Wu; he could not possibly give that up.

His categorical refusal caused the Tang-suited old man's face to darken instantly. On Gutian's side, there was no fear; he stood his ground, and the atmosphere became tense with swords drawn.

At this moment, a remarkably calm voice began to speak.

"By the way, may I ask how you intend to review whether I qualify for the master's certificate?"

Lu Wu's sudden interjection broke the tense stand-off.

He drew the focus to himself.

Lu Wu fixed his gaze on Gutian and repeated his question, "I heard that you got a report on me, saying whether it's the 'Little Skeleton Mage Evolution Plan' or the 'Iron Armor Wild Boar Evolution Plan,' none of these are my work.

They all come from someone else's hand.

I'm not concerned with where you got your information from, but now I have a question: how exactly do you plan to review this?

And how can you ensure the fairness of your review? Or is it that whatever you say goes?"

Gutian's brow arched.

"I'm pleased that you could ask, but I don't like your tone.

Hasn't anyone taught you to respect your teachers?"

"Teacher?"

Lu Wu laughed: "A teacher imparts knowledge and instructs students, an elder commands respect by virtue of their virtue.

Do you qualify?"

"You!"

Gutian's face changed, and he could hardly contain his anger enough to slap Lu Wu, but the old man in the Tang suit stopped him.

At the same time, a barely audible dragon's roar could be heard.

This made Gutian quickly calm down.

"Kid, you asked me how I would review you?

It's simple, in two steps, one theoretical and one practical.

I'll ask questions about those two schemes, you answer them, and second, I'll provide the necessary materials and you complete the evolution. If you pass both stages, I'll consider you have passed.

How about it, kid, do you dare to accept my review?!"

Lu Wu's eyes narrowed: "Dare? Of course, I dare, but I have a question: what if I pass the review?"

"You'll get the certificate if you pass!"

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it, and you can choose not to!"

Gutian's smirk grew; the boy wanted to fight him, but he held the power. He was curious to see what waves Lu Wu could stir up.

"Fine, then no review; I don't want that master certificate.

Uncle Zhao, let's go back. Now, right away, let's take the critically injured Zhang back to Jiangnan, and we won't take the compensation either!"

With Lu Wu's words, Gutian's face changed.

He hadn't anticipated the desperate situation of Zhang Wentao. Now, with things like this, if he let Lu Wu and his party return, the matter would blow up completely.

Soon it could evolve into a conflict between the local Cultivation Centers and headquarters, which could become difficult to manage.

Even with the Elder Council behind him, it might not be enough to protect him.

So Gutian was forced to stop Lu Wu.

"What do you want?"

"It's simple, just three conditions: first, apologize publicly to our Jiangnan University; second, increase the compensation for our principal from the original one million to ten million; third, I demand a public review, that is, conducting the review on my live stream."

Lu Wu wanted to make other demands, such as gaining access to the Cultivation Center Headquarters Library or seeing Gutian kneel, among others.

But ultimately, Lu Wu refrained.

Because he knew demands that could not be met were of no use to issue.

The old man in front of him was so overbearing and arrogant clearly because he had backup; haven't you noticed that with the situation escalated to this point, only one big shot from the Cultivation Center, the Tang-suited big shot, has shown up?

This situation could mean one of two things.

Either this old man's background is so influential that no one dares to mess with him, or they are caught up in some kind of trouble.

The matter might not be as simple as Lu Wu imagines.

The big shots are unwilling to get involved.

Now it seems very likely to be the latter, which is why making demands that the other party cannot possibly meet is meaningless.

In the end, even if I were to complete the inspection, the other party might not fulfill their end.

So what's important now is to create a favorable environment for myself. I want to quickly resolve the issues in Beijing and leave this place.

"Okay!"

After hesitating for a moment, Gutian nodded.

He also knew what Lu Wu wanted was nothing but a fair environment; he would give him 'fairness' then.

Anyway, he didn't believe Lu Wu could pass the inspection.

As a national treasure-level Master, how hard could it be for Gutian to stump a little kid?

"Okay, let's start then. I'm in a hurry."

Lu Wu glanced at Zhang Wentao and said coldly.

At this time, an old man in Tang suits leaned over: "He is seriously injured, let me take him for treatment first."

"No need, our principal is still robust; he won't die anytime soon."

The current situation was unclear, and Lu Wu didn't trust anyone present.

Including this Tang suit-wearing old man who seemed to be on his side, who obviously watched the play for a while before jumping out. Lu Wu wouldn't feel at ease handing Zhang Wentao over to him; who knew what he might do to Zhang Wentao.

Besides, Lu Wu had also checked Zhang Wentao's attributes. Although others were question marks, the State was [Coma] (no life danger for the time being).

Thus, Lu Wu felt it was best to keep Zhang Wentao by his side and leave this rotten place after resolving the problem.

And Lu Wu's attitude was seen by the bigwigs at the headquarters.

Two elders at the pinnacle saw this and one of them curled the corner of his mouth.

"It seems this kid has a very poor impression of us.

By the way, Old Yuan, are you really prepared to watch this brat show off his power? In my opinion, you should go down and squeeze him to death. Even if you can't kill him, you should kick him out of the Cultivation Center.

Look at what he's doing now. If you continue to let him be, he's going to crap on your head."

"It's not time yet."

"Alright, alright, be patient. I want to see how long you can bear.

Hey, they seem to have started. Do you think this kid can survive this round?"

"If he can't make it, there's still that other kid keeping an eye on it."

"True enough. Let's just enjoy the show."

...

On Lu Wu's side.

At this point, Gutian's so-called inspection had already begun.

Presently, Gutian held the Evolution plans for [Little Skeleton Mage] and [Iron Armor Wild Boar], his lips curving into a smile.

To be fair, both Evolution plans were ingeniously designed, and the thought behind them was indeed astounding.

As a national treasure-level Cultivation Master, Gutian felt it was very easy to find fault.

With a casual glance, he found a question and threw it out.

"The Evolution plan for [Little Skeleton Mage] contains the phrase 'activation of the Undead Fire Talent'..."

Gutian paused, giving the impression that he was asking what this phrase meant. Lu Wu provided a direct answer.

"To advance a Little Skeleton to a Mage, spiritual power is key. Undead Fire is crucial for activating spiritual power. The specific operation is..."

"Who asked you that? I'm asking you which page and line the section is on?"

This question took everyone by surprise, as no one expected Gutian to be so shameless.

However, Lu Wu remained composed and responded, "Page 7, line 13, there are 13 words before and 21 words after. Moreover, this plan has a total of 12,112 words and 2,321 punctuation marks.

If you're interested, I can recite it backward for you."

Lu Wu's calm reply easily resolved the other party's challenge and instead embarrassed Gutian.

But this was just an appetizer.

"You're quite skilled; it seems you've put in the effort.

So, it's time I too made an effort."

Subsequently, Gutian started a new round of questioning.

It must be said, Gutian, the Deputy Director of the headquarters and a national treasure-level Master, although not on the Undead Type path, had a deep knowledge of Undead.

The questions he raised were all tricky from every angle.

He even set traps, and one careless step could get tangled.

After seriously throwing the first question, he waited to laugh at the youngster's missteps.

Instead, he found himself to be the joke.

His little tricks were simply insufficient in front of Lu Wu.

Whether it was [Little Skeleton Mage] or [Iron Armor Wild Boar], both plans were ones that Lu Wu had discarded from his hand.

For Little Skeleton, although Lu Wu had not been able to make it undergo a Second Evolution, he had already vastly outpaced the plans.

[Steel Armor Wild Boar] had already been created on the [Iron Armor Wild Boar] side.

When Gutian trifled with Lu Wu over the content of two plans, it was purely humiliating himself.

Not only did Lu Wu answer each question, but he also left what seemed like flaws and traps in each answer. If Gutian stepped in carelessly, it would result in disgrace.

The scene lasted for less than twenty minutes; Lu Wu appeared calm and composed, while Gutian was at his wits' end.

Even laymen in Lu Wu's livestream audience could see that Gutian was thoroughly overwhelmed by Lu Wu.

After only 25 minutes, Gutian could no longer hold out. After struggling for five more minutes, he threw out one last question, which Lu Wu resolved in a few minutes, and also pointed out three flaws in the problems Gutian posed and his counterarguments.

Gutian was theoretically defeated, and Lu Wu was particularly speechless.

"That's it? Is this all? Your level is a bit low!

I thought you might struggle a bit longer and ask some profound questions, but it's all surface-level stuff."

Gutian's face turned blue; he wanted to retort but couldn't find an excuse and could only grit his teeth and shout, "You've passed the first round, next is the second round!"
