My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 70 - 0 Mr. Lu

Lu Wu was being watched from the first day his freedom was restricted.

The ones who set their sights on him were the old man Zhao Kai Ming with the fishing plan and his lieutenant, the middle-aged He Tianguang.

At the time, perhaps due to the recent embarrassment, Zhao Kai Ming was somewhat mentally unbalanced.

He had just watched a bit of the interaction between Lu Wu and Li Kai and immediately determined there was something off about Lu Wu.

In his own words at the time,

"I guarantee you, this kid is definitely up to something fishy!"

He Tianguang was skeptical even then.

"This kid probably isn’t a problem. If there were any issues, he wouldn’t have let Li Kai organize the exchange; that would only make it easier for him to get caught."

"You don’t understand, this is called setting a persona!

He’s doing this to maintain an image of himself as someone who is eager to learn and ask questions, knowing that our Professional Center appreciates such talents. If he can sustain this image, we would naturally feel closer to him and wouldn’t scrutinize him too closely.

Just you watch, he definitely intends to keep up this persona. He wouldn’t dare make a move or stand out. Nor will he join in the discussions, because doing so could easily blow his cover!"

Zhao Kai Ming confidently declared with piercing insight!

He Tianguang found this explanation convincing, as there was logic and evidence behind it. Surely, experience counts, and one embarrassment didn’t prove anything.

Well, it didn’t take long for Old Zhao to be proven wrong a second time.

On Lu Wu’s side, when he began to fleece the sheep, he did so stealthily.

He pushed Li Kai to the forefront to create a buzz while he took notes and learned in the background.

However, as he went on, Lu Wu realized that he seemed to be encountering a lot of problems.

After all, learning through stealth had its limitations. There were many things he couldn’t figure out on his own, leading to frequent dead ends.

To solve these problems, Lu Wu began to try participating in discussions.

As soon as he spoke up, Old Zhao’s deductions began to lose their footing.

He Tianguang couldn’t help but cast a skeptical look.

Old Zhao panicked and hurriedly patched up his theory.

"This is exactly where his cunning lies.

He’s been here for three days now, and we haven’t made a move. He must suspect he’s being watched.

So he’s struggling further, maintaining the eager-to-learn facade to dispel our suspicions.

Next, he surely won’t dare to ask deeper questions, as that would expose his lack of real knowledge."

Old Zhao was indeed cunning and astute, and He Tianguang felt a deep admiration.

Yet, hardly had Old Zhao patched up his narrative when he was embarrassed yet again.

Because they noticed that Lu Wu’s questions were becoming increasingly sophisticated. At first, they were simple, common-sense questions, but after just two days, the questions Lu Wu posed started to stump the non-professional Cultivators present.

What was even more embarrassing for those Cultivators and for Old Zhao,

Lu Wu’s questions weren’t the kind that were fanciful or nonsensical.

His questions were fundamentally sound and even based on the original routine questions of the others, to put it plainly, he was hitting the nail on the head.

He Tianguang once again turned his questioning gaze towards Zhao Kai Ming.

Zhao Kai Ming’s old face was starting to crumble.

"Well, who would have thought, this kid is actually a little genius, to be able to draw on such a foundation to maintain his persona.

But he definitely won’t join the discussion next, as it would expose him."

In fact, the old man was somewhat aware that he probably made a mistake, but his pride wouldn’t allow him to concede, so he had no choice but to force an explanation.

Then he wondered how to lure He Tianguang away and downplay the whole issue to save his own face.

Before he could manage to whisk He Tianguang away, Lu Wu slapped him across the face with another direct metaphorical blow.

Following that, not only did Lu Wu join in the discussions, but from the seventh day he was restricted, the pace of the Non-professional Cultivators’ discussion was essentially in Lu Wu’s hands.

It usually went like this: Lu Wu would throw out a question that piqued everyone’s interest, and the crowd would surge forward to study this one question posed by him.

This kind of research often ended with Lu Wu himself providing the answer.

Of course, Lu Wu’s pattern of posing questions and then answering them himself wasn’t a show-off move.

There was a process involved, and Lu Wu took part in the exploration of the questions.

Every time Lu Wu could directly answer a question, it wasn’t just because he had a good brain, but because there were 89 Non-professional Cultivators there.

89 different Cultivators would offer various approaches when faced with different problems.

At this time, what Lu Wu played was the role of collecting and organizing these approaches, and he was particularly good at it.

Therefore, it was often Lu Wu himself who ultimately unraveled the questions.

And after solving a problem, he wouldn’t just throw out the solution.

Each time, Lu Wu would explain his own thought process along with the answer.

In this way, every time Lu Wu unraveled a problem, it seemed as if he were giving a lesson.

Whenever this happened, all 89 Non-professional Cultivators listened intently.

Under these conditions, the Non-professional Cultivators’ attitude toward Lu Wu began to change gradually.

At first, everyone saw Lu Wu as a diligent and inquisitive junior.

Then, they gradually realized that this junior had an astonishing talent, always asked pertinent questions, and his skill level was not low either; they began to adjust their mindset to regard Lu Wu as an equal.

Later on, they discovered that Lu Wu was making rapid progress, incorporating the strengths of many, and suddenly left them far behind.

Before they even had the chance to feel inferiority, envy, or jealousy because of Lu Wu’s talent, Lu Wu had already started leading topic discussions and began teaching solutions.

Each teaching session was still without reservation, sharing his thought process as well.

Suddenly, the attitude of the Non-professional Cultivators present towards Lu Wu became completely different.

Furthermore, Li Kai was no longer holding back at this time either, directly addressing Lu Wu as ’Mr. Lu’.

The people nearby thought that sounded fitting and so they all started using it as well.

In this way, under the astonished gaze of the Professional Cultivators on the other side of the hall, it took only half a month for Lu Wu to become the ’Mr. Lu’ to 89 Non-professional Cultivators.

Under these circumstances, He Tianguang once again turned his gaze towards Zhao Kai Ming.

This time, his look contained no doubt.

As an observer of Lu Wu’s progress for more than ten days, he had witnessed Lu Wu’s advancement firsthand, understood Lu Wu’s talent in this area, and when Li Kai called out ’Mr. Lu’, he also resolved the confusion about Li Kai’s attitude towards Lu Wu.

Undoubtedly, Zhao Kai Ming’s inference was wrong; Lu Wu was indeed flawless.

Additionally, Lu Wu’s talent and magnanimity greatly appealed to He Tianguang, who was considering taking him as an apprentice, so he spoke up, "Elder Zhao, it seems there’s nothing wrong with this child…"

"What problem? Who said he has a problem?"

He Tianguang had barely finished speaking before being angrily interrupted by Zhao Kai Ming, which left He Tianguang flustered.

Before he could gather his thoughts, Zhao Kai Ming pointed at Lu Wu with immense pride, "This boy, he’s my disciple!"
