"What the heck?"
"What, I can leave just like that?"
Lu Wu was a bit stunned and found it hard to believe. This wasn't how the plot usually played out, right?
So he couldn't help but turn his head to see who this person was, not following the typical routine.
Turning his head, Lu Wu was even more bewildered.
This teacher was so tall!
Oh no, this teacher was so white!
Uh, that didn't seem quite right either!
Following Lu Wu's gaze, he saw a teacher with legs seemingly as long as a meter and twenty centimeters, wearing a professional suit, high heels, a ponytail, and black-framed glasses. Behind her followed a three-tailed black cat, and her aura radiated three meters high.
This teacher's entrance really amazed a group of people.
Just walking over simply from the other side of the playground to this side made many young boys blush and have their hearts race.
The closer this teacher got, the faster these young boys' hearts beat.
However, Lu Wu's heartbeat became steadily calmer as this teacher approached. He had better emotional adjustment abilities, and more importantly, Lu Wu had seen Pang Duddu at her peak appearance.
Compared to Duddu at her peak, this teacher's looks were hardly impressive, so Lu Wu's heartbeat quickly stabilized.
Another reason was the expression on this woman's face, and the way she looked at Lu Wu.
That expression, that look, made Lu Wu feel like she was looking at a worthless piece of trash.
Yes, Lu Wu's feeling was right. In Ye Qingxue's eyes, he indeed was a worthless person with no value to train.
While these students waited, Ye Qingxue had already basically understood the background information of the students taking the assessment.
Lu Wu caught Ye Qingxue's attention with his active behavior and his utterly ordinary-looking face, so she paid attention to his background.
When she confirmed that Lu Wu's family background was just that of an ordinary family, he lost all training value in her eyes.
The reason for this, she explained to Lu Wu when she walked up to him: "Little Skeletons are extremely difficult to train. The cost-effectiveness is low. It requires a massive amount of financial and material resources to give it a chance to catch up with others.
And as far as I know, your family doesn't seem to have these conditions to train it.
Even if your parents are willing to go bankrupt for you, your chances of getting into Summoner University are slim, so you're disqualified. Another suggestion: give up on becoming a Professional Summoner. It's the most rational choice for you and your family."
Ye Qingxue used an exceptionally calm tone to directly pronounce the death sentence of Lu Wu's Summoner career.
For this situation, Lu Wu did not have any special expressions nor any significant emotional fluctuations.
He didn't even prepare to argue for himself or shout any slogans like "Thirty Years on the East, Thirty Years on the West."
After listening quietly, Lu Wu simply said, "Oh," and then summoned Duddu to leave.
Anyway, to Lu Wu, being in an advanced class wasn't a big deal. If they didn't want to play with him, then fine. He had his own cheats. There was no need to endure their prejudice and effort to prove anything.
He could still turn the tables even outside the advanced class!
However, just as Lu Wu was about to leave with Duddu, Ye Qingxue spoke again.
"Wait!"
She now set her eyes on Duddu, or more precisely, on her pet pig.
"Its quality is Black Iron, right?"
Confused, Duddu looked at Lu Wu, and only after he nodded did she follow suit and nod as well.
Ye Qingxue glanced at Lu Wu and asked, "How many skills has it mastered?"
"Three!" Lu Wu answered directly for Duddu.
Hearing this answer, Ye Qingxue's eyes brightened, and she nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, you can stay to accept the next phase of the assessment."
Ye Qingxue noticed that Lu Wu had a significant influence on Duddu, so she immediately said to Lu Wu, "I trust that you won't hinder her future, right?"
In this situation, Lu Wu didn't want to say anything, nor did he have anything to say. He turned and left.
If Lu Wu had nothing to say, then Duddu had even less to say.
This girl never had any opinions—or rather, Lu Wu's opinion was her opinion.
Whatever Lu Wu said, she followed. If Lu Wu said he wanted to sell her, she would help count the money while crying.
When Lu Wu turned and left without hesitation, Duddu followed him like a faithful wife.
Ye Qingxue's face darkened at the sight.
"Let me remind you, many choices in life are incredibly important, like the one before you.
Once you leave this field, it means your path to becoming a Professional Summoner is cut off.
I advise you not to let insignificant things cloud your mind. Following him will only ruin your future!"
Ye Qingxue's words made Lu Wu stop in his tracks and look back at her.
This turn of the head was quite confusing, making Ye Qingxue and the students, who quietly watched nearby, mistakenly think that Lu Wu was going to persuade Duddu to stay.
Only Lin Jianying knew that this was absolutely impossible for Lu Wu, as he himself was familiar with Duddu.
Although Lu Wu had changed, Lin Jianying was still not wrong at this moment.
After stopping, Lu Wu didn't persuade Duddu at all.
He simply took Duddu's chubby hand and then smiled provocatively at Ye Qingxue, "Sorry, our Duddu just loves ruining her future with me!"
With that, Lu Wu pulled the dazed Duddu, made dizzy by his words "our Duddu," and left in large strides.
His steps were full of swagger. Every movement was imbued with the aura of a scoundrel, making Ye Qingxue's hair almost stand on end with anger.
Fortunately, this was a school, and Ye Qingxue still remembered her identity as a teacher. Otherwise, Lu Wu's legs would definitely be broken by now.
However, although Lu Wu's legs weren't broken, his behavior did seem incredibly scummy to others, so after swaggering away, he found himself in a bit of an awkward position.
First, he was summoned for a talk by Li Chun—not just a talk, but Li Chun even notified both families.
After all, this concerned the advanced class and Duddu's future. How could this not involve their parents?
Li Chun genuinely wanted to salvage the situation and get Duddu into the advanced class for a better future.
After both sets of parents arrived, their attitudes were a bit surprising to Li Chun.
Duddu's family was a bit angry knowing that Lu Wu held back their daughter's future, but mostly they felt helpless.
They knew their daughter wouldn't be persuaded, so in the end, Duddu's Dad could only angrily threaten Lu Wu, saying that if he dared to bully his daughter, he would twist his head off. And that was the end of it.
Lu Wu took all the blame by himself.
After it all ended, Lu Haikong patted his rebellious son, beaming with pride, "Good job, son. Well done!"
Lu Wu was bewildered. Shouldn't his old man be beating him for this?
He felt his old man had a problematic worldview. He even suspected the old man was quite a big shot!
