My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 219 - 216 Steel-armored Wild Boar Skeleton Knight

Jiangnan, inside Lu Wu's house.

Lu Wuyi's eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the changing attributes of the soup, pig, and skeleton.

He constantly monitored and speculated about how the changes in attributes would affect what was to come.

The materials were ready at his side, and he was always prepared to fix any issues as soon as they arose.

This was an extremely energy-draining task.

Moreover, the consumption of energy increased as time passed.

The first two hours were okay; it was just making soup, strengthening the pig and the skeleton separately, with not many changes needed from Lu Wu.

But from the third hour, the fusion of the pig and skeleton began, and various problems gradually emerged.

At that point, Lu Wu had to be even more vigilant, identifying problems early and quickly resolving them.

Every problem was taxing on both his mind and resources—of the more than ten thousand materials prepared, over three thousand were for unexpected incidents.

And those materials were indeed put to good use.

Of course, this wasn't something that made Lu Wu happy.

It was particularly troublesome.

In just the two hours from the third to the fifth, there were as many as thirteen issues that arose.

That was an average of one every ten minutes.

Lu Wu needed to monitor all the issues closely and resolve them.

In such a state, Lu Wu lasted only five hours before he felt overwhelmed; his head buzzed with pain, which made it hard for him to focus entirely.

And unfortunately, it was towards the end of the fusion evolution process when problems were most frequent.

One moment of inattention and if Lu Wu did not manage it, the entire evolution could collapse.

Naturally, this was not something Lu Wu wanted to see.

So, he gritted his teeth and persisted, closely monitoring the soup even as the buzzing in his head turned into stabbing pain.

Lu Wu's perseverance was not without reward.

Soon, the pot of soup reached the sixth hour, and the pig and skeleton had entered the final stages of fusion.

By then, the evolution was almost certainly successful.

Knowing this, Lu Wu finally could not withstand the pain in his head and relaxed slightly.

However, just as Lu Wu relaxed a moment, there was a problem with the soup in the pot—this time, the problem arose from the pig and skeleton themselves.

In a critical moment of their fusion, something went wrong.

It was as if a couple about to get married suddenly realized that they weren't each other's type and couldn't spend a lifetime together; thus, they started to fight.

And both were critical to the evolution.

With both of them causing trouble, could the evolution still proceed?

Problems quickly emerged, and after the first issue arose, the situation Lu Wu had been struggling to maintain completely collapsed, and one problem after another surged forward.

This sudden turn of events flustered Lu Wu.

Although he quickly recovered, his mind, which had been focused on solving problems for six hours, was still active.

In this state, Lu Wu's first thought was how to resolve the issue right in front of him.

This thought almost caused his head to explode.

There were too many problems accumulated and, given the current situation, there was no way to solve them.

"It looks like I can only give up for now… Wait, Little Skeleton, go calm them down!"

Just as Lu Wu was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the skeleton at his house.

He called Little Skeleton, who had been playing with a cell phone.

Little Skeleton was quite sensible and obedient; he went up to the pig and skeleton and slapped each one.

Like a domineering father, he told the skeleton and pig,

"What's this about liking and fitting? Deal with it, just deal with it for dad!"

Little Skeleton, playing the role of the stern father, was quite authoritative.

He managed to arrange the whole marriage on the spot.

Although the forced match might not have been sweet, it was still twisted into shape; the pig and skeleton began their fusion.

Various problems began to slowly dissipate.

Seeing this, Lu Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly got busy, resolving the issues and escorting the pig and skeleton to the bridal chamber.

Another half-hour passed, and just as Lu Wu's head was about to explode,

the evolution finally succeeded, and as the pig and skeleton came together, Lu Wu's Little Skeleton at home also underwent some changes.

The sense of authority of Little Skeleton as an old father seemed slightly more pronounced.

Lu Wu blinked and checked Little Skeleton's attributes; aside from one Talent in the Awakening process, he didn't see much change.

And that Awakening Talent had been awakening for a long time.

It had started awakening when Lu Wu left Inheritance Land, but it had been quite half a month since then, right? Still in the Awakening process, that really left Lu Wu speechless.

"Wait, there's a progress bar in the Awakening, 10%?

Is the appearance of this progress bar related to the fusion of the pig and skeleton?"

Lu Wu was not very sure, but he felt it might be related, and he could try to study this aspect in the future.

But for now, his focus was on the pig and skeleton.

Lu Wu wanted to see what the fusion of the pig and skeleton produced, and after that, he needed to sleep.

Now, he was just too tired.

Lu Wu looked towards the soup; this time, the pig and skeleton had both emerged.

Although they had successfully evolved together, they didn't appear en masse; the pig and the skeleton emerged separately.

At this moment, the pig and skeleton had undergone significant changes from before the evolution.

The pig had evolved into something similar to a Steel-armored Wild Boar, but its overall frame seemed more lightweight, feeling like it had gained more burst power.

Moreover, its back had a flat spot suitable for the skeleton to ride on, clearly prepared specifically for the skeleton.

On the Skeleton's side, there was no change in size, standing at about 1.8 meters tall.

It now wore light armor of a steel color, and even its spear had turned to steel.

The Pupil Fire flickered, giving off an imposing aura.

When Lu Wu saw them, he found that their attributes were unified.

...

"These attributes are not bad!"

Lu Wu looked at the attributes of the Steel-armored Wild Boar Skeleton Knight and didn't feel the shame of a feudal patriarch, instead, he felt pretty good about his actions.

Fusion, well, that's how it is.

How can every match be perfect? It's enough that they can work together.

"I can't hold on, my spiritual power is exhausted, I'm going to sleep!"

With that, Lu Wu, clutching his head and waist, dragged his heavy steps off to sleep.

.....

Jiangbei.

Inside a manor.

On a fluffy long couch, Zhang Yunyi, the Governor of Jiangbei, lay reclined.

In front of Zhang Yunyi was Zhang Yuechu, who had just returned yesterday and directly seized control from Zhao Jianzhi.

Mother and daughter together, they looked like sisters.

However, this mother and daughter pair seemed out of sync.

After an awkward exchange of looks, Zhang Yunyi was the first to speak.

"There are many ways to handle Zhao Jianzhi, why use this method?"

"I wanted to."

Zhang Yuechu pouted, like a sulking child.

Zhang Yunyi didn't mind.

"Good, as long as you can bear the consequences, I don't oppose whatever you do."

Zhang Yuechu didn't react.

"Do you not think this is much of an issue, believing that the Education Bureau has settled it, confirming Zhao Jianzhi as a grievously wounded Evil Summoner.

Has the Education Bureau bowed down, and this issue is no longer relevant?"

Only a mother knows her daughter.

Zhang Yunyi, upon observing Zhang Yuechu, spoke levelly.

"Just now, the Education Bureau issued a document about security at Jiangnan University, which directly notified the entire Alliance and criticized Jiangbei University's security for being inadequate, allowing the principal to be attacked on campus.

Using this as an excuse, they have already canceled the resources that were meant to be available later this year."

"Moreover, the security department has also issued an order to Jiangbei, demanding that I capture that Evil Summoner within six months, or they will intervene in helping Jiangbei build a security system."

"This, is the cost of your actions."

Zhang Yunyi seized the opportunity to give Zhang Yuechu a lesson in ethics.

"Rules exist for a reason; don't try to break them!

The consequences are beyond your imagination."

"Of course, if you're powerful enough to rewrite the rules, then I have nothing to say, considering that from the time Summoned Beasts came into existence, all societal rules have been based on force."

"Even if you possess the power to break the rules, it doesn't allow you complete freedom.

The rule of order is the foundation of the world's operation.

As you trample it, you must also endure each piece of it when it shatters.

Even if you are strong enough to be immune to these damages, others will be harmed.

Your freedom, your unrestraint is built on others.

Once you completely override the rules, what you are unwilling to endure will have to be endured by others.

So, my advice remains, do not try to destroy the rules, follow them, respect them, then control them."

At this, Zhang Yuechu finally responded.

"Like you, then?"

Zhang Yunyi was momentarily speechless.

Zhang Yuechu did not press her advantage further, turning and leaving. As she stepped out of the room, Zhang Yuechu paused.

"I will resolve the troubles I've caused."

With that, Zhang Yuechu strode away.
