My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 375 - 372 silly advanced

1st District, Jiangnan University, inside Lu Wu Research Institute.

Just after being beaten up, Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon looked pitiful as they sat in a corner.

Both little fellows were in a sorry state.

Little Flood Dragon had many cracks in its scales.

Little Skeleton was in even worse shape, as it was currently piecing its own skeleton back together.

And, its most beloved phone had also been stolen by the bad guy who hit it.

(Can’t go on like this!)

As it pieced its skeleton together, Little Skeleton grew angrier and said to its companion.

(We can’t let Tuantuan and the wicked Lu Wu bully us like this, we have to do something!)

Little Flood Dragon glanced at it and continued to lie down, not bothering much.

This situation had happened countless times.

At first, Little Flood Dragon eagerly joined Little Skeleton to figure out how to resist.

After being suppressed forcefully several times, Little Flood Dragon had given up.

Resisting was impossible; they couldn’t win in a fight, so what was the point of resisting?

Seeing Little Flood Dragon so dispirited, Little Skeleton felt even angrier; it was because of its lack of spirit that they were bullied by Tuantuan.

However, this time, Little Skeleton didn’t try to persuade Little Flood Dragon to resist again, because it had a better idea.

(Let’s run away from home!)

(What?)

Little Flood Dragon was stunned and looked up at Little Skeleton.

(Let’s run away from home!)

Little Skeleton repeated its plan.

(Let’s go find our Lu Wu!)

Little Flood Dragon’s eyes lit up.

Finding Lu Wu was something it was familiar with; its head eagerly bobbed in agreement, but then it seemed to hesitate remembering something.

(Lu Wu told us not to look for him! What if he gets angry when we find him?)

(I don’t care about him! Lu Wu, that big liar, he said he would come back very soon, but it’s been a very long time already. I don’t care; I just want to find him!)

Little Skeleton felt particularly resentful.

It just wanted to find Lu Wu now, it wanted to complain to Lu Wu about the pig that bullied Little Skeleton!

(Are you coming? If you’re not, I’m going on my own!)

Little Flood Dragon hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded its head. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After all, it had been almost half a year since it had seen Lu Wu, and even Little Flood Dragon missed him.

The two little fellows quickly reached a consensus.

They wouldn’t stay in this broken home; they were going to run away, they were going to find their Lu Wu to seek justice.

The two little fellows acted immediately.

First, they had to retrieve Little Skeleton’s phone.

The phone was with Tuantuan, and Little Skeleton had to trick him into handing it over.

(Tuantuan is so silly, it’s easy to trick!)

Facing Tuantuan, Little Skeleton felt a sense of intellectual superiority.

With Little Flood Dragon, they first made a trip to the kitchen, stole a huge pile of roast meat and came back.

They threw the roast meat in front of the pig, easily distracting it from the phone.

Seizing the opportunity, Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon picked up the phone and prepared to make a run for it.

At that moment, a problem arose.

The research institute was guarded on all sides, so how could the two little fellows escape?

Little Flood Dragon indicated it had a clear idea about the issue!

Just follow it, and it could easily solve this problem.

Seeing how confident Little Flood Dragon looked, Little Skeleton believed in its mischief and followed Little Flood Dragon to a bathroom.

As soon as they entered the bathroom, Little Flood Dragon skillfully lifted the toilet seat, shrank its body, and with a ’plop,’ jumped straight into the toilet.

Little Skeleton, standing beside, was dumbfounded.

Is this even a thing?

("What are you staring for? Jump in!")

When Little Flood Dragon saw Little Skeleton didn’t move for a while, it raised its head and urged.

Little Skeleton looked troubled, this wasn’t something it knew how to do!

(Little Skeleton is so silly! Can’t even dive into a toilet, watch!)

Little Flood Dragon, a bit helpless but also a bit proud, jumped out of the toilet and demonstrated again for Little Skeleton.

(Got it this time?)

Little Skeleton shook its head, indicating it still didn’t understand the maneuver.

Finally, having no other choice, Little Flood Dragon opened its gaping maw, and with an ’Ah woo,’ swallowed Little Skeleton, then turned around and leapt into the toilet, disappearing from sight.

What Little Flood Dragon and Little Skeleton didn’t know was,

at the moment they jumped out of the toilet and ran away from home, in the student council president’s office of Jiangnan University,

a woman dressed in a women’s suit, wearing glasses, and exuding a chilly queenly aura turned and looked toward Lu Wu’s research office.

Her lips curved into a stunning, radiant smile.

...

Region 12, somewhere deep in the mountains.

After stirring up some trouble at the Zero Organization base in Region 12, Lu Wu quickly left.

He didn’t chase after Qingzi and the others after sorting everything out.

In fact, from the moment he gave Qingzi and the others a map to Region 1, Lu Wu wasn’t planning to meet up with them so soon.

On one hand, he was still not ready to return to Region 1.

On the other hand, it was also not suitable for him to be around Qingzi right now.

Lately, Lu Wu felt more and more like he was in a vast net.

Though he had left Region 1, that pervasive net around him never truly disappeared.

It was only a bit further away from him.

Thus, it was not suitable for Qingzi to be by his side.

After all, one never knew when trouble might arise around him.

Additionally, as his power gradually increased,

Lu Wu’s attitude towards many things had changed too.

He was slowly shedding his ostrich mentality because he knew very well that the ostrich strategy was a weakling’s battle tactic, used only when absolutely necessary.

It could not truly solve problems.

To solve problems, the best choice was always to confront them.

This was also why Lu Wu took the chance to pass the confidential files from the Ninth Apostle from the Zero Organization.

Now, after finding a resting place, Lu Wu began to go through those confidential files once again,

reading them gave him quite the shock.

The files primarily detailed the specific affairs of the Zero Organization.

Like evilizing certain places and people, controlling regions, even controlling summoned beast groups to create beast surges.

Each and every task was marked with the word ’ferocious.’

"These matters, none seem to be specifically targeting the Gate, huh?

So, their doctrine is just a slogan, isn’t it?"

Lu Wu curled his lips.

Both disdainful and somewhat bewildered, if they needed a slogan, there were plenty of messy ones available; why did Zero Organization choose the least convincing?

"They might as well have outright said they want to evilize the entire world, right?

No, wait, it seems like that’s exactly what they are doing."

Lu Wu suddenly snapped back to reality and carefully examined the secret documents, discovering that the Zero Organization truly intended to evilize the entire world.

Moreover, they had already made significant progress.

"Evilization, although it allows Summoned Beasts to possess greater power and even erases some of the limits set by their talents to an extent,

once evilized, Summoners can generally reach Lord Level and even have a chance to advance to King Level, which is much higher achievement than normal Summoners.

But this comes at the cost of erasing the consciousness of the Summoned Beasts.

Moreover, Summoners will also experience some mental effects after evilization.

Over time, they gradually become biased, irritable, brutal, and even slowly lose their humanity.

If the whole world were evilized, it would truly become hell."

Thinking of that scenario, Lu Wu couldn’t help but shudder.

"Indeed, the Zero Organization should be wiped out."

As Lu Wu spoke, he continued to flip through the secret documents.

When he reached the last two documents, his eyes narrowed.

It seemed both were related to him.

The first document was from District 11, an intelligence report.

The person described in the report was known as Zhengdaguangming, which was Lu Wu’s alias in District 11.

This report was issued by the Zero Organization in District 11.

It detailed information about Lu Wu’s activities there, beginning with the Sakuragi Family and ending with his killing of Ibaraki Gangyan and then leaving, in great detail.

It even contained several interrogations records.

When Lu Wu saw the names of the interrogated, his anger surged.

For he saw the names of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Sakuragi Hanakazuki.

The detailed process of the interrogation was also recorded.

Just reading the text, Lu Wu found it hard to continue.

"Damn it! Every person in the Zero Organization deserves to die!"

Lu Wu gritted his teeth, noting down the person who had interrogated Sakuragi Hanamichi and Sakuragi Hanakazuki.

"Eighth Apostle, huh? You better pray you don’t fall into my hands."

Suppressing his murderous intent, Lu Wu finished reading this report.

The end of the report speculated about Lu Wu’s identity, ambiguously linking Zhengdaguangming with Lu Wu.

Moreover, the adversary had speculated about Lu Wu’s escape route, asking for assistance from District 12 to capture him.

As stated at the end of the document.

"Whether Zhengdaguangming is Lu Wu or not, his ability to kill Ibaraki Gangyan proves his value; it is recommended to capture and evilize him, turning him into a blade for the organization."

Seeing this, and recalling the strike he himself had executed, as well as the outbreak at the District 12 base, Lu Wu’s brow furrowed deeply.

Without a doubt, he had been targeted once again.

But Lu Wu wasn’t too panicked.

All he felt now was anger.

Striving to calm himself down, Lu Wu redirected his attention to the last document.

This document made Lu Wu even angrier.

The last document came from the Zero Organization’s headquarters, a resource and manpower mobilization order signed by Feng Xiu.

Yes, that Feng Xiu, whom Lu Wu had personally witnessed being slain by Moon Shadow in Fucheng.

Lu Wu couldn’t understand—wasn’t he dead?

How was he still alive and signing documents?

This puzzling aspect for Lu Wu was addressed in the document.

Feng Xiu was indeed still alive, but his condition was not good.

He had apparently used a secret technique unique to the Zero Organization, sacrificing a Summoned Beast to escape death. Although he survived, he was severely injured and his power had apparently dropped to King Level.

His reason for issuing this document was to gather the strength of the Zero Organization to help him recover his power.

"How can I possibly let you recover?"

Lu Wu carefully examined a document.

After noting down the time and location, Lu Wu murmured as he destroyed the document.

"Two more months, huh?

Alright, I’ll go take a look when the time comes. If there’s a chance, I don’t mind lending a hand."

Having said that, Lu Wu closed his eyes and got busy.

Reading these secret documents filled Lu Wu with a murderous intent and a deeper desire for power, so he needed to make the most of the time to assimilate the skills he had acquired.

He had previously opened the Senluo Wanxiang Domain twice, acquiring the "Five Thunders Bombarding" from No. 67 and the "Blast Fire Break" from No. 71.

During the battle with the Ninth Apostle, he gained the skills "Earth’s Wrath" and "Barbarian Bear Roar" from her, and obtained the "Fire God Slash" from "Flowing Blade Fire."

Additionally, with the advancement of the "Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword," Lu Wu acquired the skill "Divine Wrath."

Currently, Lu Wu had six unassimilated skills.

Once Lu Wu fully assimilated these six skills, his power was set to rise even further.

He might even surge directly to King-Level 2 Star.

However, what Lu Wu did not expect was that while he was struggling to assimilate these skills, a strange alteration occurred within his body.

Mainly because the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword had somewhat inflated after advancing.

Idle and curious, it wanted to explore the mysteries of Lu Wu’s body, and in doing so, it discovered a powerful energy at the location of Lu Wu’s heart.

The reckless Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword touched it, and this touch directly awakened the dormant entity in Lu Wu’s heart.

The awakened entity burst forth, a terrifying power surged out, turning Lu Wu’s surroundings within a hundred meters into a world of ice and snow.

At the same time, a feedback force drained the energy within Lu Wu’s body, further enhancing his strength, and it seemed that within this burst of feedback, he had acquired a new skill.

Lu Wu was stunned for a moment and, without hesitation, opened the attribute panels for himself and Han.
