My starting summon is a small skeleton

Phoenix Nest Training Ground.

As Lu Wu yelled, "All of you, come at me together."

Different people present experienced different feelings at that moment.

Ordinary spectators, especially Lu Wu's fans, thought Lu Wu's words exuded an aggressive charm.

It made them feel uplifted and vindicated.

Some more rational spectators, as well as the Education Bureau, felt that Lu Wu's actions were too rash.

Xing Zhanlong shook his head.

Further confirming the judgment that Lu Wu was all muscles in his head.

All of them at once?

What was he thinking?

Did he think he was facing ordinary contestants?

Were they top 32 contestants? Were they the same caliber as Guzhentian's competitors?

Even if it were Guzhentian, once all of Guzhentian's summoned beasts advanced to lords, Lu Wu might not even be able to defeat him, let alone these three, each capable of beating Guzhentian.

Lu Wu might stand a chance against one of them, but one against three?

Wasn't this just seeking abuse?

"It seems he's got a bit too big-headed!" Xing Zhanlong shook his head, quietly watching how the Education Bureau would handle the situation without any intention of intervening.

After all, for Xing Zhanlong,

his main objective was to grab someone, how this competition played out was Lu Wu and the Education Bureau's business.

And naturally, the Education Bureau would not let Lu Wu wreak havoc.

On the stage, the referee immediately said, "Student Lu Wu, the competition has its rules and regulations, please respect them!"

Beside him, Zhao Futu chimed in, "Right, if you want to manipulate, just do some manipulation back stage, which is not disgraceful but just not honorable.

If it's like that one three days ago, trying to act tough and getting slapped in the face instead, that would be a total disgrace!"

Zhao Futu was particularly good at fanning the flames, his insinuating comments worsened Lu Wu's already sour mood, darkening his expression.

Seeing this, the referee quickly stepped closer and whispered by Lu Wu's side, "Don't get angry, consider the bigger picture..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Wu directly turned to ask him, "What bigger picture?"

The referee was stunned, and before he could organize his words, Lu Wu added another sentence.

"Either you go down, and the three of them fight me, or I go down, and you watch them fight, you decide!"

The first sentence, Lu Wu had lowered his voice so only the referee could hear.

But the volume of this sentence was enough for the entire stadium to hear clearly.

This left the referee utterly helpless, while Zhao Futu's eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity to continue provoking, "Good, that's imposing, I admire..."

"Can you please shut up?"

Lu Wu turned around and politely used the word 'please'.

Unfortunately, Zhao Futu didn't understand the word 'polite', and with a sneer, continued provocatively, "What, is district 1 this domineering that you don't even let people talk..."

"Slap!"

Before Zhao Futu could finish his sentence, a flash of lightning and a slap violently struck his face.

The violent slap knocked him to the ground.

Only after being struck down did Zhao Futu realize what happened, his expression changed as he tried to get up, but then a foot, sparkling with lightning, stepped on his forehead, pressing him to the ground like a dead dog.

Simultaneously, Lu Wu's ice-cold and utterly imposing voice rang out.

"You are right, this is how domineering district 1 is, this is how domineering I am; on this stage, without my permission, you cannot even speak."

This sudden change silenced the entire stadium.

Nobody expected Lu Wu to suddenly explode.

nor did they expect Zhao Futu, who had easily made Guzhentian kneel three days ago, to be so simply and directly suppressed by Lu Wu's strong presence.

At that moment, even Xing Zhanlong's eyebrows involuntary twitched.

However, compared to Lu Wu, he was more concerned about the person beneath Lu Wu's foot.

And for Zhao Futu, who was under Lu Wu's foot, his face only showed humiliation, devoid of any other emotion.

Xing Zhanlong couldn't help but praise, this man truly had good acting skills, such a good temperament and yet he didn't show the slightest flaw.

Meanwhile, on Lu Wu's side.

While standing on Zhao Futu's foot, he turned to look at the referee.

"Can you go down now?"

The referee hesitated, but below the stage, the audience's voices had already begun to rise.

"Go down!" "Go down!" "Go down!"

Evidently, Lu Wu's actions had given the audience great confidence.

They now believed Lu Wu could take on three, naturally siding with him.

The referee had no choice but ultimately had to go down with Dudu, leaving the current stage to Lu Wu.

After the referee left, Lu Wu kicked Zhao Futu to the side.

And then stretched lazily.

Lu Wu was really suffocated today; he encountered various frustrations and mishaps.

First, there was equipment trouble.

Then out of nowhere came Fei Yun.

And then the murky issues with the Education Bureau...

...

Everything made Lu Wu exceptionally frustrated, but now it was a relief: "Finally, I can make a big scene unrestrained!"

While stretching lazily, Lu Wu waved to the three people opposite: "Come on, bring it on!"

Yet, although Lu Wu waved, the three opposite did not budge.

Maeshima Kaori didn't move, neither did Saint Engels from Area 3, and even Zhao Futu, who had just been humiliated by Lu Wu, remained unusually silent. None of the three made a move this moment due to various reasons—some due to the complexity of the match, reluctance to join forces, or secrets they held; thus, at this moment, none of them took action.

"None of you will make a move, huh?

Fine, if you won't, I will."

Saying this, Lu Wu summoned all his beasts.

Instantly, three underlings from Lu Wu's house plus sixteen from Little Skeleton's crew were all in place, forming an almost twenty-person (beast) army in a moment.

"Attack!"

At Lu Wu's command, Little Skeleton with his crew charged towards the one in Area 2.

Hanhan and Little Flood Dragon advanced towards Maeshima Kaori.

Lu Wu and Indeks did not move; they just stood by, watching the action, showing no intention of bothering Zhao Futu.

On the other side, perhaps due to the slap that changed his persona or something else, Zhao Futu also seemed remarkably low-profile at the moment.

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu launched his attack, Maeshima Kaori and the one from Area 2 also summoned their beasts.

There's no need to mention the one from Area 2, as it was the Four-winged Angel, but the beast summoned by Maeshima Kaori was different, one that Lu Wu had never seen before.

Lu Wu wasn't even sure if it should be called a beast, for the summoned creature was actually a blade.

...

Name: Demon Blade Blood Tears (Second Evolution)

Power: 1 Star (Lord)

Attribute: Blood, Demon Blade

State: Slaughter (Slaughter...)

Weakness: Divine Artifact (Moderately strong)

Basic Skills: Slaughter Sword Skill (Master)

Advanced Skill: Heart of Slaughter (Master)

Killing Move: Slaughter Intent (Mastered)

Talent: Slaughter Growth (Passive) (With every enemy killed, both the Summoned Beast and Summoner's power increase, the more killed, the greater the boost.)

Devouring Master (Passive) (Every so often, it initiates a backlash against its summoner. If endured, the summoner's power increases; if not, the summoner becomes a puppet of the summoned beast.)

...

When Lu Wu saw the attributes of this beast, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It was his first time seeing such a wicked Summoned Beast, feeling even more wicked than Evil Summoners; yet, this type of Summoned Beast seemed to be highly sought-after in District 11; indeed, people in District 11 have fun in abundance.

Moreover, Lu Wu also noticed that Maeshima Kaori's attributes were extraordinary.

...

Name: Maeshima Kaori

Power: Master Level Summoner (Lord 1 Star combat power)

Mastered Skills: Slaughter Sword Skill (Master), Heart of Slaughter (Master), Slaughter Intent (Master)

Poison Island Swordsmanship (Mastered)

Summoner Talent: Heart Lake Calm (Active) (Allows oneself or the Summoned Beast to remain absolutely calm)

...

Maeshima Kaori's talent, which would be trash in others, in her it was a divine skill.

With this talent, this woman didn't have to worry about being affected by the sword at all.

It ensured her absolute safety.

Her opponents, however, had to face a killer with an absolutely calm mind.

Lu Wu could already foresee how terrifying this woman's combat power could be.

Right then, as Hanhan just reached this woman, he was immediately slashed by her, losing one wing.

While one might call others a one-armed hero.

Hanhan had become a one-winged bird.

But the danger didn't end there for Hanhan; after Maeshima Kaori chopped off his wing, she followed with another slash, cutting open Hanhan's neck.

Though this action left her half body frozen by Hanhan's "Cold Ice Body" passive, it didn't matter.

Less than a minute into the battle.

Lu Wu's top combat power, Hanhan, lay defeated.

And Lu Wu didn't just face a setback on Maeshima Kaori's side.

On another front, Little Skeleton was also in a tough spot.

He had just charged into Engels when the Four-winged Angel spread its wings, sending out holy light like waves, which caused all of Little Skeleton Army other than Little Skeleton to emit black smoke, experiencing varying degrees of decay or, to put it another way, purification.

Even though Little Skeleton wasn't purified, it, too, was clearly struggling, forced to halt its charge amidst the light.

Both fronts facing setbacks.

For the spectators watching, Lu Wu's start to the battle was tension-filled!
