Lu Wu's actions on Field No. 3 made him famous at school.
Of course, it wasn't a good reputation; he had now been labeled as a scumbag.
In the eyes of others, it wasn't enough that Lu Wu himself didn't progress, but he even prevented Dudu from advancing, ruining Dudu's prospect of getting into the advanced class for a bright future—how utterly awful!
As a result, Lu Wu almost became a target for everyone at school.
Lu Wu didn't care at all.
Anyway, they only dared to whisper behind his back; if anyone really dared to provoke him face-to-face, Lu Wu would undoubtedly release Dudu without hesitation.
Well, not only did Lu Wu think this way, but he actually did it.
The day after the incident, a student from the advanced class came to trouble Lu Wu, hoping to earn the title of Justice Messenger and increase Ye Qingxue's favorability by bullying him.
Without a word, Lu Wu called Dudu over.
Then, very quickly, this confident young man who had just entered the advanced class was trampled by a pig along with his Summoned Beast.
He came bouncing happily and left limping, clutching his butt—utterly embarrassed.
Worse still, after returning to the advanced class, it seemed that he was directly kicked out of the class by Ye Qingxue.
This created quite a stir, even the principal personally went to Ye Qingxue to plead for the unfortunate boy.
After all, it wasn't easy for Quancheng No. 3 Middle School to produce a few candidates for Summoner University; they couldn't just ruin the boy's future like this.
But no one expected that in front of Ye Qingxue, even the principal's words were useless.
She simply said, "If you can't even beat a student from an ordinary class, you're not qualified to stay in my class!"
Extremely domineering, extremely forceful!
And the principal of No. 3 Middle School was extremely spineless, actually being silenced by a single sentence from Ye Qingxue.
This made people very curious, just what was this woman's identity to be so domineering and unyielding.
However, this incident had little to do with Lu Wu.
No, from a certain perspective, Lu Wu could be considered a beneficiary of this incident.
Although he gained another label of living off a woman in addition to being a scumbag, no one came to trouble him after this.
And no one discussed him anymore; the attention shifted to Ye Qingxue's domineering behavior, and they all went to denounce her, making things much quieter for Lu Wu.
Of course, though it was quiet, Lu Wu wasn't idle during this time.
What could be said, although Lu Wu initially had little interest in the advanced class, even thinking of just going in to take a look and staying if he was happy and leaving if he wasn't,
It was one thing how Lu Wu felt and what mindset he had going into the assessment, it was another to be directly swept out without even a chance for the assessment.
This made Lu Wu a bit unhappy.
He harbored a determination!
Of course, Lu Wu swore that he was definitely broad-minded and absolutely didn't have the thought of making a splash in the league and slapping Ye Qingxue in the face.
He just wanted to prove himself, to let everyone who said he was no good know that Lu Wu was indeed capable.
And to prove himself, first, Lu Wu had to enhance his Little Skeleton's power.
For Lu Wu, enhancing Little Skeleton's power wasn't too big of a challenge.
Although training Little Skeleton was indeed difficult, Lu Wu had already devised an entire training plan quite early.
He was confident he could make Little Skeleton catch up to and even surpass Dudu's Dumpling before the league match; he just sped up the progress a bit now.
Motivated by this determination, Lu Wu's work efficiency skyrocketed.
The optimization of the Dodge and Block skills, which was initially scheduled to be completed in a week, was done in three days by Lu Wu.
Then he spent another four days conducting rigorous training for Little Skeleton, initially grasping three optimized skills.
…
Name: Little Skeleton
Power: 1 Star (Ordinary)
Quality: Black Iron (Poor) (Enhancing)
Attribute: Undead
State: It wanted to watch TV
Skills: Charge (Optimized) (Master)
Block (Optimized) (Skilled)
Dodge (Optimized) (Skilled)
Weaknesses: Light, Fire, Thunder
Description: After mastering three optimized skills, although still quite poor, it already possesses some combat power.
Training it to this level in a few months is quite an accomplishment.
…
This was Little Skeleton's attribute a week after the Field No. 3 incident.
Seeing the attribute board, Lu Wu couldn't help but smile.
It was his first time receiving praise from the system, and with the optimization, Little Skeleton's Charge skill proficiency shot up to the Master level.
These two surprises made Lu Wu's mood instantly bright, feeling as though the sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and he was capable again.
"Come on, Dudu, let's go fight!"
Lu Wu was particularly excited and dragged Dudu to the training grounds.
It was still the same training hall, still the same room as last time, a week later, the sixty-seventh battle between Lu Wu's Little Skeleton and Dudu's Dumpling began once again.
This time, Dumpling had no expectations for the battle.
The pig was inherently lazy, particularly disliking exercise, let alone combat, which required physical effort.
But if it was fighting Little Skeleton, it was somewhat okay since it was quite familiar with beating Little Skeleton.
First minute, kite with Earth Thorns,
Second minute, repositioning to continue kiting, third minute, close in on Little Skeleton, and crushing it with Giant.
The pig had developed a routine for bullying Little Skeleton.
This time it planned to follow the routine and then go home to watch TV with its master.
However, this time things were a bit different.
Dumpling started with a wave of Earth Thorns as usual, which usually flustered Little Skeleton, but this time Little Skeleton seemed more agile, slipping side to side as if its feet were greased, avoiding the Earth Thorns effortlessly.
Seeing the optimized Dodge skill working, Lu Wu was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to give the command, "Use Charge! Hit the pig with a stick!"
Little Skeleton obediently sped up, instantly closing in on Dumpling, swinging its stick 'smack,' unexpectedly catching Dumpling mid-giantization and knocking it off the stage.
After a month of being bullied, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton finally secured a splendid victory with optimized skills and a near-ambush tactic.
This made Lu Wu particularly happy, and the jubilant Little Skeleton looked at its baseball bat in a daze for a while.
For the first time having beaten Dumpling, Little Skeleton expressed that it felt great and wanted to do it again!
On the other side, the knocked down Dumpling got angry!
