Chapter 294: 291 Everyone present is trash
Beijing, Phoenix Nest Training Ground.
Just a few hours ago, Lu Wu, who had been dreaming sweetly, was now serving Indeks like a princess.
After signing a contract with Little Skeleton, this girl immediately realized she had been duped.
Upset, she grabbed Little Skeleton and Lu Wu and gave them a good beating.
It was such a scene that even Han, who was watching nearby, got overly excited and particularly wanted to join in.
Unfortunately, Indeks wasn’t interested in beating him up.
It was only after receiving that beating that Lu Wu understood.
Using Little Skeleton’s phone to contract with thirty Lord Level Summoned Beasts wasn’t impossible; it mainly depended on whether he and Little Skeleton could withstand the beating.
Under the circumstances where Little Skeleton’s power did not exceed the Summoned Beasts it contracted.
Little Skeleton couldn’t forcibly command what others did.
When Indeks was beating up Lu Wu, Little Skeleton tried to forcefully command the Loli Bone Dragon, only to have its skeleton dismantled.
After that thorough beating, Lu Wu had no choice but to put off contracting Lord Level underlings until after Little Skeleton reached the Lord Level.
However, even if the Loli Dragon didn’t beat him, contracting the underlings would still have to wait until after the university competition was over.
Just a few hours after Little Skeleton was strengthened, the preliminary round of the university competition began.
Although Lu Wu, being a seeded player, didn’t need to participate,
Dudu still had to participate in the preliminaries.
Not just Dudu, but the other four members from Jiangnan University had to participate as well.
So, after getting beaten up, Lu Wu drove to the venue with the Loli Dragon in tow.
When Lu Wu arrived at the venue,
it was almost 6 o’clock.
It was quite early, but there was already a long queue at the Phoenix Nest.
The contestants had mostly all arrived.
Lu Wu and his group were among the later arrivals.
When he got there, Zhang Wentao kept complaining, criticizing Lu Wu for not coming earlier.
“I told you yesterday that we shouldn’t have gone to the Cultivation Center. See, you almost overslept, didn’t you?”
“Overslept? We didn’t even get a good night’s sleep last night!”
When Lu Wu mentioned this, Old Zhang was immediately stunned.
His eyes wandered over Lu Wu and Dudu, finally shaking his head, “Young people are just young, totally unaware of moderation.
It doesn’t matter for you since you aren’t participating, but Dudu has to compete. You should let Dudu rest before the match starts.
The university competition isn’t like the high school competition; the Summoner has to go on stage with them.”
Lu Wu felt like this old man was throwing the blame onto him.
But he didn’t have evidence,
and he was too lazy to explain these things to the old man.
Although Lu Wu didn’t think the preliminaries would be challenging for Dudu, he still took Dudu to the resting area.
On one hand to let Dudu rest, and on the other hand to see how his teammates, who he had been training for over two months, were doing now, whether they had matured, and if they could fight the competition on their own.
However, just as Lu Wu reached the resting area and before he could even check on his teammates, someone from the Education Bureau came over.
They expressed their hope that Lu Wu could give a speech on stage as a representative of the contestants during the opening ceremony.
This made Lu Wu feel a bit embarrassed.
“This isn’t a great idea, is it?
Besides, this is pretty sudden. I haven’t prepared anything!”
“You can just say whatever comes to mind!”
“Can I really say whatever I want?”
Lu Wu’s eyes suddenly lit up, seeing as this wouldn’t be difficult for him.
That alarmed the other party, who quickly added a caveat,
“But you cannot give any advertisements!”
“How could I? What kind of person do you think Lu Wu is, to advertise at such an event?”
Lu Wu kept patting his chest while saying this, his earnest manner relieving the person from the Education Bureau.
However, even the rather simple-minded Han by Lu Wu’s side knew Lu Wu was definitely up to something.
After confirming the time to go on stage with the person from the Education Bureau and seeing them off,
Lu Wu turned to look at his own four teammates in the resting area.
Glancing over them, he nodded in satisfaction.
Not a bad improvement throughout the past three months.
The one who improved the least, Zhao Li, had risen from Leader One Star to Two Stars, and it seemed he wasn’t far from reaching Three Stars.
Wu Wei had seen the most significant progress. Three months ago, his Fire Monkey was just a Summoned Beast at the Elite 3 Stars.
Now it had reached Boss 3 Star.
Completing a jump in rank in just three months wasn’t just about having resources.
Seeing this kind of progress, Lu Wu knew he must have had his own unique experiences during the past two months.
The remaining Hengheng Monster and Su Lan had also reached Professional Level.
Their power was now at Boss 2 Star.
This progression was terrifying, but they were aware that their power was still considered lower-tier in this competition.
Moreover, with the news spreading that eighty percent of Jiangnan University’s contestants were freshmen,
the internet was especially focused on these three.
The students of Jiangnan University had placed their expectations and hopes squarely on them.
Under such circumstances, except for Zhao Li, the remaining three inevitably felt immense pressure.
As the competition approached, this pressure intensified, making them particularly nervous.
Seeing their pale faces and the slight sweat on their foreheads, Lu Wu approached them, patted their shoulders gently, and said, “Don’t be nervous, don’t put additional pressure on yourselves. It’s just a minor competition.
Just relax and show what you can do. Winning or losing isn’t important. As long as you gain something from the competition, that’s good enough.”
At this point, Lu Wu paused and casually added, “Besides, no one really has any expectations for your performance.”
That remark really set off the three Hengheng Monsters.
Especially the Hengheng Monster, who, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, leaped up.
“What do you mean ‘no one has any expectations for our performance’?
Does ‘no one’ include you too?
Don’t forget, you spent hundreds of thousands of points on us!”
“But you guys don’t seem capable!”
“What do you mean ‘not capable’? We are very capable!
Just you watch, our next performance will definitely dazzle you!”
Seeing the Hengheng Monster jumping angrily, Lu Wu couldn’t help but smirk.
This girl was still as easily provoked as ever.
A little agitation, and she immediately got all riled up.
Instantly, her back stopped aching, her legs stopped hurting, and she wasn’t nervous anymore, all prepared to show Lu Wu what she could do.
Not only her, but Wu Wei and Su Lan also got motivated.
“Remember this state of yours, okay!”
At this moment, the Hengheng Monsters had no idea what they were about to face.
Time swiftly passed.
Two hours later, the university league’s opening ceremony officially commenced.
All the competitors and spectators had reached their assigned places.
The head of the Education Bureau personally presided over the opening ceremony.
One prominent figure after another went on stage to deliver speeches.
Until Lu Wu took the stage, the opening ceremony had been solemn and serious.
The competitors and audience below, watching one old man after another, listening to set piece after set piece of official jargon, were all yawning.
That was until the host said, “Next, please welcome the Master Level Cultivation Master, the president of Jiangnan University’s student council, the chairman of the board of the Lu Group, and the seeded player of this university league, our competitor representative Lu Wu, to speak!”
The spectators and competitors, stirred by this series of titles, refocused their attention.
Everyone perked up, curiously awaiting the step-by-step approach of Lu Wu.
They were all particularly curious whether this rising star of recent months could deliver an outstanding, distinctive performance on stage.
However, the situation was somewhat unexpected.
“Respected leaders, distinguished guests, dear audience friends, hello everyone, I am…”
Lu Wu started off with a speech that was excessively formal.
He first flattered the leadership of the Education Bureau, then praised the competition, and promoted the spirit of the competition…
His series of remarks were extremely official.
This was the old man’s speech preparation for Lu Wu.
Knowing that Lu Wu had such an opportunity to appear, he eagerly volunteered to write his speeches, and churned out this piece after more than an hour of effort.
Consequently, after this speech came out, the leaders listened with satisfaction.
Initially, they were somewhat worried about letting Lu Wu go on stage, fearing that the kid might disrupt the atmosphere with his uniqueness.
Now, seeing this, they thought the kid was quite sensible and steady.
However, while the leaders were pleased, the audience and competitors were not.
Watching Lu Wu speaking with such seriousness on stage.
Many spectators and competitors felt very disappointed.
They felt that Lu Wu’s appearance failed to meet their expectations.
The atmosphere below, which initially was excited and anticipatory, returned to its original state.
Just then, having finished speaking about the leaders and the competition, it was time to talk about the competitors.
Here at this point, Lu Wu casually threw away the old man’s script and began to improvise.
“That part about the significance of this competition, everyone knows.
And you might also know that, within this competition, six out of Jiangnan University’s team are freshmen.
Over eighty percent of our members are students, which might cause concerns among attendees about whether Jiangnan University can perform well.
Now, as the team leader of Jiangnan University, I can responsibly tell everyone that you needn’t worry about anything.
The reason we deployed five freshmen is partly to showcase our educational standards.
And the other, more helpless part is…
That is, in this competition, we have not seen any opponents worth sending anyone beyond our freshmen against.”
Upon hearing this, the facial expressions of the teachers and students from other schools darkened.
And at Jiangnan University, Old Zhang’s face turned pale in an instant.
Lu Wu’s teammates’ minds also went blank.
Bro, do you realize what you’re saying now?
A senior from another school stood up directly.
“Does student Lu Wu mean to say that our school’s students don’t meet your criteria?”
“No!”
Lu Wu shook his head vigorously, and in a rather melodramatic manner, he recited the line he had been longing to say for a long time: “I’m not targeting your school. I mean, all the participants here are trash!!!”
Instantly, the whole venue erupted.
