My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 363 - 360 King-level

The Cimu family, Lu Wu awoke from his deep slumber.

Opening his eyes, what he saw was a face that looked exceptionally honest.

At the time, Lu Wu was a bit confused, thinking he wasn’t fully awake yet, or perhaps he hadn’t opened his eyes correctly. He quickly closed them and opened them again.

Indeed, it was still the same face.

Now, Lu Wu was thoroughly baffled. Why was this honest man here?

Xing Zhanlong, on the other hand, was both shocked and overjoyed to see Lu Wu wake up.

"Mr. Zheng Da, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Is your body okay? No serious issues, I hope."

Mr. Zheng Da?

Lu Wu was stunned. Did this fellow not recognize him, or was he pretending not to know?

In his confusion, he could only play dumb: "Who are you?"

"Oh, my last name is Xing, named Xing Zhanlong from District 1. I’ve come to the Cimu family to seek Mr. Zheng Da’s assistance with a matter."

Following that, Xing Zhanlong repeated the specifics of the issue.

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes and indirectly extracted some information.

In no time, Lu Wu had a general understanding of the situation.

This guy had come to save Du Dao Hu Zi.

Just then, when Lu Wu encountered problems with his breakthrough and nearly blew himself up, it was Ibaraki Gangyan who saved him.

Having roughly clarified the situation, Lu Wu began to contemplate the man before him.

Undoubtedly, Xing Zhanlong’s arrival was a definite opportunity for Lu Wu.

If he could use him to send a message to that unreliable scumbag from Lu’s house, his current crisis could be resolved.

But upon further thought, Lu Wu realized this seemed unreliable.

Not to mention whether this fellow could find Old Lu, even if he could, based on what Old Lu had done to him, it was questionable whether he would be willing to pass along a message for Lu Wu.

Even if, by a long shot, he was willing, Lu Wu was not confident in this man’s intelligence.

The guy hadn’t recognized who Lu Wu was after watching over him for nearly a day and had spilled all his secrets in just a few words, coupled with his earlier performance.

Lu Wu was certain.

If he let this man know his identity, it would likely be exposed within minutes.

Hmm, this was not distrust of the man’s character, but rather of his intelligence.

So, even though the opportunity was right in front of him, Lu Wu restrained himself. After chatting briefly, he used his weariness as an excuse to send Xing Zhanlong away and shifted his focus back to himself.

Once he did, Lu Wu’s head buzzed.

He was struggling to tolerate his own body now.

That wave of incidents left fracture injuries in every tiny blood vessel throughout his body.

However, those injuries were healing at the moment.

And yet, accustomed as Lu Wu was to seeing the world and enduring severe beatings, such damage didn’t shock him.

What truly astonished him was the immense energy clogging every corner of his body.

If someone with the ability to see auras looked at Lu Wu, they would see his body shining gold throughout, filled with energy above Legendary level, especially terrifying around his heart.

Lu Wu felt as if his heart was stuffed with something about to burst at any moment, constantly on the verge of frantic operation.

It was only because of the condition of his body that his heart did not dare to start pumping.

"What the heck did Old Thief Cimu feed me?"

Lu Wu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

He even started to wonder if he had misjudged Old Thief Cimu – perhaps this generous Old Thief Cimu was actually a good person.

If Lu Wu were to complete the digestion of the energy within him, his power would experience an immensely terrifying boost.

However, when it came to the process of digesting this energy, Lu Wu found that he seemingly no longer had the ability to do so.

The explosion from before had shattered his energy system.

Lu Wu was now completely powerless.

The idea of absorbing these energies was downright impossible.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Old Thief Cimu’s energy acting like a gate locking them inside Lu Wu’s body, they might have already dissipated.

Therefore, the most important thing for Lu Wu at present was to restructure his energy core, allowing him to master and absorb these energies within his body.

This shouldn’t be hard, Lu Wu himself had no power, but his Summoned Beasts did.

Lu Wu was about to ask Han for assistance, when he realized that the Han inside him also seemed to have been affected by the previous wave.

Han was now in a deep sleep state, and Lu Wu simply couldn’t command it.

Sigh, with no other choice, since the obedient Han couldn’t be commanded, Lu Wu could only try to direct the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

But this toy was even less reliable.

Originally, Lu Wu had subdued it through coercion, and now that Lu Wu was powerless, it decisively stated that lending its power was possible, but it wanted to switch positions with Lu Wu.

From now on, it would be on top, and Lu Wu would be below.

Regarding the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword’s behavior of taking advantage of the situation, Lu Wu thought, well, he was already lying down, so the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword could do as it pleased.

When facing danger, Lu Wu’s spine had always been this flexible.

The naive Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword had no idea about the wickedness of human nature and society. Once Lu Wu lay down, it happily climbed on and lent its power to him.

Having received power from the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, Lu Wu started returning to his own body.

At the Lord Level, a Summoner’s body had already awakened an Energy Space.

Lu Wu’s previous Energy Core and the current one he returned to were within his Energy Space.

His consciousness entered the space.

What Lu Wu saw was a space full of cracks and on the verge of falling apart.

And within this space drifted various kinds of messy energy.

To restore his power and repair this near-collapsing space, Lu Wu had to gather these scattered energies back together.

This was a huge project!

And to undertake this massive project, the first thing Lu Wu needed to do was find a qualified ’Contractor’.

This ’Contractor’ wasn’t the energy from the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword; it wasn’t up for the task as it had been suppressed at the peak of being a leader-level entity. Moreover, even if it could do the job, Lu Wu wouldn’t let it.

Such private affairs, of course, needed to be handled by his own people.

He borrowed power from the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword only to find back the ones that had strayed from Lu Wu’s house.

With Lu Wu’s efforts, the ones who had gone missing from his house were found one after another.

A strand of Origin Energy from the fusion of Dragon Transformation and Dragon Bone Power.

A strand of Origin Energy from Universal Charger.

A strand of Origin Energy from the Lu Family Swordsmanship that integrated various skills.

And a somewhat dazed strand of Origin Energy from Unyielding·Growth.

The first three were okay, but the last one made Lu Wu frown.

Should he keep it?

If he kept it, the original triangular structure Lu Wu had planned would be gone, but if he didn’t, the darn thing was quite appealing.

In the end, Lu Wuyi clenched his teeth and decided to keep it.

Then, with these four cores, Lu Wu began to assemble a Contractor team.

During the process of forming this team, two more individuals emerged.

They both were quite interested in this new team and clung to it as soon as they saw it.

One of them came from the heart and upon entry immediately buddied up with the strand from Dragon Transformation.

Lu Wu took a look at another strand and discovered it was energy from Old Thief Cimu.

However, it belonged to some energy that had gone missing during the explosion.

Although this energy was lost, it still retained some of the sly characteristics of Old Thief Cimu. Seeing the group band together, it couldn’t help but get involved and boss the new team around, and that really angered Lu Wu.

I can’t bully Old Thief Cimu, but can’t I bully you, his little brother?

Right away, Lu Wu commanded the new team to swarm and beat up the energy from Old Thief Cimu.

The energy of Old Thief Cimu was formidable, being two levels higher than Lu Wu with strong Combat Power. It could fight against five and hold for a while, but since it had no master, after a few minutes, it was beaten down. The new team then recruited it, becoming an extra enforcer for the team.

With that, Lu Wu’s Contractor team was officially in place.

Universal Charger became the leader of the team, with Lu Family Swordsmanship in charge of personnel, specifically recruiting various little brothers. Dragon Transformation served as the main force of the demolition squad, usually not moving a muscle unless it was to Demolition or fight someone.

Unyielding·Growth, on the other hand, acted as finance, single-mindedly focusing on making money.

After such a team was formed, their ’company’ (Domain) naturally emerged as well.

And in this wave, Lu Wu’s Level also reached King-level.
