Chapter 282: 279 Preparing for the College Tournament
The fact that Zhang Yuechu is my sister really shocked Lu Wu for a while.
And then, Lu Wu found himself falling into the troubles that came with knowing this piece of information, or you could say the cost that needed to be paid.
Does knowing this come with a cost?
The answer is, of course!
And the cost is not low.
After Jiang Yuexing revealed that Zhang Yuechu was Lu Haikong’s daughter,
Jiang Yuexing also began to lay her cards on the table with Lu Wu.
Yes, Lu Wu guessed it right – she was one of Old Lu’s exes.
Now the question was, how was Lu Wu supposed to face one of Old Lu’s exes?
What if this godmother demanded to see Lu Haikong, what should Lu Wu do?
If he refused, it wouldn’t be fair to Jiang Yuexing, as she had been pretty good to him.
Moreover, she was indeed quite pitiable, having waited for that old scumbag for twenty or thirty years.
If he agreed, it would be unfair to Li Ruyu.
Lu Wu was absolutely clueless about what to do.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuexing did not bring up this difficult request with Lu Wu.
Or perhaps it would be better to say she didn’t dare to.
Jiang Yuexing might look like a dominant queen,
But when it comes to emotions, she’s somewhat timid; in truth, she wouldn’t even know what to do if she actually met Lu Haikong.
Looking at this woman, who obviously wanted to know, yet cautiously avoided anything related to Lu Haikong,
Even Lu Wu felt the urge to give a good thrashing to his family’s irresponsible old man.
“Damn scumbag!
I have a feeling that this scumbag is going to get me killed one day.”
To prevent his premonition from coming true,
In the following days, Lu Wu pretty much didn’t leave Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was gradually getting back on track since his return.
Lu Wu had to worry a lot less now.
At this time, Lu Wu could shift his focus from Jiangnan University to the upcoming university league.
Although Jiangnan University had developed quite a bit now,

But the university league was still an event that Jiangnan needed to partake in.
On one hand, it was for the resources that came with university rankings, and on the other, it was to showcase Jiangnan University’s brilliance publicly.
Therefore, Lu Wu not only had to participate, but also had to perform as outstandingly as possible.
After all, he was now the spiritual leader of the Jiangnan University students.
His performance was tied to the face of the entire Jiangnan University.
Thus, Lu Wu’s idol burden inevitably became heavier.
And so, Lu Wu started a three-month special training aimed at the university league.
This special training was not just for him alone.
Apart from him and Dudu, Lu Wu also chose four students from the whole school to train.
The format of the university league is this:
Each school sends a team of six to participate, but even though it’s a team of six, the competition is individual!
The ranking of each school is based on the total performance of the team.
Under such rules, it’s very hard to break into the top ten if only one person is strong; the entire team needs to be strong.
To ensure Jiangnan University could achieve good results in the university league, Lu Wu really put his heart and soul into it.
He reviewed the attributes of all the students’ Summoned Beasts in the entire school and finally chose four people.
What Lu Wu didn’t expect was that these four people were all his acquaintances without exception.
First off, Zhao Li, of course, doesn’t need to be mentioned – with his Summoned Beast being a Leader 1 Star, he was a shoo-in.
Besides him, the other three were freshmen from the first year.
They had all competed against Lu Wu during the high school league and were swayed by him to come to Jiangnan University.
These were none other than the former captain of Team 004, Wu Wei, with a Summoned Beast boasting the Inheritance Skill of “Skyward Stick,”
The former captain of Team 007, Su Lan, with the Summoned Beasts Iron Feathered Eagle and White Wolf,
And the last one was a complete surprise to Lu Wu; he was dumbfounded when he saw her, not expecting her to be at Jiangnan University.
Hmm, that would be the Hengheng Monster.
At that time, Lu Wu asked her this question directly, only to receive a familiar cold snort and a turn of the head in response.
She looked especially infuriating, but in the end, Lu Wu still included her in the team.
Hmm, how else was he going to tease her?
After finalizing the selections, Lu Wu called all four of them over.
As soon as everyone arrived, Lu Wu got straight to the point.
“I’ll keep it short and simple.
The reason I called you guys over is straightforward, just to let you know that from now on you’ll be members of the school team, joining me in the upcoming university league,” he declared.
As soon as Lu Wu said this, Zhao Li and the other three were stunned.
Wu Wei, Su Lan, and the Hengheng Monster didn’t expect to be chosen, and Zhao Li didn’t expect his remaining three teammates to be these three.
Zhao Li couldn’t sit still at that point, “President, isn’t their strength a little too weak?
All of them are only at Elite 3-star level – participating in the university league with that strength isn’t to compete, it’s to be cannon fodder!
Wouldn’t it be better to switch back to our previous team?”
Although Zhao Li’s words annoyed Hengheng Monster and the others,
They couldn’t deny that they were indeed a bit lacking in strength.
So, at the moment they were silent, all looking at Lu Wu.
Lu Wu shook his head and denied it: “I’ve looked at the previous school team – their strength is mediocre, and the breeding style of their Summoned Beasts has already been set, unlikely to make big advancements in a short time. Sending them to compete in the university league would quite frankly not be much different from being cannon fodder.
So, these three will do.”
Of course, that wasn’t the most important point.
The most important point was that they were all senior students.
Even if Lu Wu could turn decay into magic and help them grow, at best people would think they were Jiangnan University’s trump cards.
It wasn’t very meaningful to have them compete in matches.
Therefore, rather than cultivating them, Lu Wu was more willing to foster these three freshmen.
He wanted to set an example with these three new students.
To tell everyone in the Alliance that Jiangnan University could not only make money but also cultivate talent.
As long as these three could achieve results in the college league, Jiangnan University’s reputation would be established.
Next year, when Jiangnan University was recruiting, they could lure a bunch of fresh and tender new students.
It could be said that Lu Wu really had Jiangnan University’s development close to his heart.
“Alright, regarding the optional task, let’s settle it like this.
Here are four contracts, take a look, and if you have any questions, just sign them.”
With Lu Wu’s current prestige, even the university president could be replaced easily, let alone this.
Zhao Li, seeing Lu Wu’s resolute stance, didn’t say much and picked up the contract passed to him by Lu Wu.
Upon reading it, he was stunned.
The contract in his hand required him to sign a ten-year working contract with Jiangnan University.
For the next ten years, he would have to sell himself to Jiangnan University.
That was the price he had to pay, and in return, he would get a cultivation plan worth about 10,000 Academic Points.
What did 10,000 Academic Points mean?
That was equivalent to 100,000 points!
The other three had contracts similar to Zhao Li’s, with cultivation plans ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 Academic Points, and the required working durations ranged from 10 to 40 years.
Hengheng Monster had the longest one; despite being just a 20,000 Academic Points cultivation plan, she needed to work for Jiangnan University for 40 years.
Obviously, Lu Wu had slyly tricked the girl.
However, she didn’t know it, as the details of each contract weren’t disclosed, nor were they compared openly.
After all, Lu Wu was right there in front of them.
After reading the contract, all four had similar reactions, with no hesitation, they directly signed their names on it.
With their names signed,
this special training aimed at the college league officially began.
The first thing Lu Wu did was to splash the cash.
Crazy amounts of cash.
Not to mention his own investments, just Little Skeleton alone was a money-consuming giant with 15 lackeys in the mobile phone.
Ever since Dudu returned, he did nothing but eat Vermilion Fruits every day,
burning through about 1,000 points worth of Vermilion Fruits daily.
Clearly, Dudu was determined to slim down to 220 pounds.
Just in the first month of special training, Lu Wu spent 1.2 million points.
Zhao Li received 100,000, Wu Wei 200,000, Su Lan 200,000, Hengheng Monster 200,000, Lu Wu himself 410,000, and Dudu alone consumed 90,000 worth of Vermilion Fruits.
With such expenditures, the results were naturally significant.
Zhao Li’s originally Bronze Quality gorilla, Wu Wei’s Black Iron Level Fire Monkey, and Su Lan’s Black Iron Level Iron Feathered Eagle all advanced to Silver Quality.
Hengheng Monster’s originally Bronze Quality Two-tailed Spirit Cat and Su Lan’s already Silver Quality white wolf jumped straight to Golden Quality.
Lu Wu took it a step further; he upgraded all of Little Skeleton’s 15 underlings to Silver Quality in one go.
This was the power of burning money!
However, although the quality of these Summoned Beasts had greatly improved and their foundations had thickened, their actual power hadn’t increased much—in fact, it could be said there was hardly any improvement.
Of course, this was all part of Lu Wu’s plan.
The special training was scheduled for three months, and only the first month had passed.
There were two more months to go, which would be the time for the real surge in power.
During the next two months, Lu Wu didn’t put the team together for training.
It didn’t make much sense.
After all, there was no small gap in power between the members of the team.
And their training methods were different.
So it was better to split them up.
Lu Wu designed different training methods for Zhao Li and the others, arranged different Secret Realms, and provided each with a Lord Level big shot as a bodyguard.
Then, just like scattering seeds, he sent them off.
Today he scattered four newbies; in two months, he would reap four mature teammates capable of competing on their own.
When he sent them off, it was just in time for Chinese New Year’s Eve.
No sooner had Lu Wu scattered them than Lu Haikong came calling.
He said to Lu Wu, “Your mom is telling you to come home for dinner.”
Then, Lu Wu took Dudu back to the farm for a meal and stayed for two days before Lu Haikong escorted Lu Wu and Dudu to Dudu’s family.
At Dudu’s family home, Dudu’s Dad was almost moved to tears when he saw Dudu slimmed down to just 140 pounds.
What had Lu Wu done to his poor girl?
He snatched a broom and began a furious assault on Lu Wu.
No one knew where Dudu’s Dad, who was nearly 200 pounds, got such agility from—Lu Wu, despite his Leader Level power, was made to hop and skip in escape.
In the end, it was only after Dudu and Dudu’s mother firmly held back Lu Wu that he was spared a tragic fate.
Then, Dudu’s Dad gave up on battering Lu Wu, and instead set about trying to fatten his ’emaciated’ daughter back up.
So, just after Li Ruyu had finished feeding Dudu, her own father began to feed her non-stop as well.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Dudu ate, her weight remained at 140.
This troubled Dudu’s Dad to no end, and he kept glaring at Lu Wu, convinced that this scoundrel had secretly done something.
Eventually, Lu Wu spent three days of utter misery in Dudu’s home.
Only then did he take Dudu back to Jiangnan University, ready to enter the Dragon Island Secret Realm and officially begin his special training…
