Chapter 190: A Cloud in One Hand, Rain in the Other

Li Wu had always wondered why Jiang Yuesheng wanted to adopt him as his godson and make him his sugar baby.

Could it be because of his good looks?

Well, Li Wu couldn't deny that he was indeed quite the looker. In his previous life, he could easily rely on his face to get by, and he'd surely eat better than those who toiled over their keyboards, their hairlines receding as they typed away, while netizens criticized them for being short and soft, like a failed author.

But Li Wu felt that as the Governor, Jiang Yuesheng shouldn't be so shallow.

So, Li Wu believed that Jiang Yuesheng must have had a deeper motive.

At first, Li Wu thought it was about setting up Jiangnan University, especially since she had released tasks related to it right from the start.

Combined with his talent, it was easy to assume that Jiang Yuesheng's goal was this.

However, when Li Wu obtained the token and arrived at Zhenhai Tower, he realized that his godmother seemed eager to use him right away.

Or perhaps, from the moment he received the token, Jiang Yuesheng had already treated him as a pawn.

Li Wu noticed this when he entered the Logistics Department, where a receptionist started provoking him, and he observed the interaction between Jiang Tianyang and the other party. Despite their attempts to hide it, Li Wu could tell there was something fishy going on between the two. They seemed to be at odds, but their eyes suggested a different story.

Soon after, Li Wu discovered a treasure in the garbage heap on the warehouse side.

This part seemed ordinary, just a simple and routine scavenging, but after finishing, Li Wu reflected and realized that this so-called scavenging was intentionally arranged.

The receptionist had been using subtle movements from the start to unconsciously draw Li Wu's attention to that area.

After Li Wu found the garbage heap, he was further encouraged to search, and the purpose was for him to discover the treasure.

And after Li Wu found the treasure, the receptionist's subsequent actions exposed their ploy. They claimed there were over five thousand Wood Essences without even checking.

Moreover, within less than ten minutes, they delivered the Wood Essences and prepared containers, clearly indicating prior preparation.

Li Wu couldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

It was evident that they had intended for Li Wu to summon at Zhenhai Tower.

Initially, Li Wu wasn't entirely sure what was happening, but when Jin Lili appeared and shamelessly snatched his Summoned Beast, Li Wu's thoughts became crystal clear.

Jiang Yuesheng adopted him as her godson and gave him the token for this very moment.

With his victory in the High School League, he was currently the most famous and influential person in Jiangnan.

Additionally, he had the backing of Zhang Wentao and other Jiangnan University affiliates.

Now, he was a valuable pawn, a piece that could move barriers she had previously struggled to budge or hadn't found the right opportunity to move.

And Jin Lili was the one to be moved.

Li Wu realized his role from that moment and decided to act accordingly, which was why he ordered the Little Skeleton to attack and cast Thunderfall, something he wouldn't usually do.

There was no way he could pretend otherwise! Why would he? Well, there was a bit of that, but mainly, Li Wu was well aware that he had become a pawn of Jiang Yuesheng, bearing her expression and becoming her person.

Given this, Li Wu naturally had to become what she wanted him to be.

If he didn't put on a show and let Jiang Yuesheng know that he opposed her and Zhenhai Tower, what if she didn't give him the dog and ball later? As for Zhenhai Tower's animosity?

Li Wu felt that even if he didn't act tough, they wouldn't like him anyway, as he was already Jiang Yuesheng's person.

Standing there, Li Wu had essentially grasped the entirety of the situation.

The only thing he hadn't anticipated was his godmother's domineering nature.

No sooner had he finished saying Jin Lili should die than Jin Lili's limbs exploded right in front of him.

The cruel and gruesome scene startled Li Wu, who quickly turned to cover Dudu's eyes and glared at the powerful Queen who had just appeared.

She was going to kill him, and she was doing it so violently.

What if she scared Dudu?

At that moment, the Queen's attention wasn't on Li Wu at all.

Hovering in the air, her gaze was icy as she looked down at the Zhenhai Tower crowd.

The faces of those at Zhenhai Tower turned ashen.

Everyone could see that today's Jiang Yuesheng was completely different from usual."

The unexpected display of strength was startling, but what truly shocked everyone was the terrifying power she now revealed.

The sudden surge of ability and assertive demeanor filled the room with an ominous premonition.

Especially for Jin Lili's brother, Jin Lihai, the Tower Master of Zhenhai Tower, whose gaze turned so dark it seemed to drip with water.

Yet, he remained silent, while the leader in charge of discipline took on the role of a mouthpiece.

"Governor Jiang, what is the meaning of this? Even if Minister Jin offended your son, you wouldn't go as far as to..."

"Have I given you permission to speak?"

The leader's words were abruptly cut off by Jiang Yuesheng.

The leader was taken aback, still processing the situation, when Jiang Yuesheng coldly snapped, "Kneel!"

With those words, a terrifying aura surged, targeting the leader.

Jin Lihai, standing nearby, couldn't remain seated any longer. He stepped forward, attempting to withstand the pressure, only to be swept away. The leader, who had just been kneeling, was now forced to his knees by Jiang Yuesheng's overwhelming presence.

At that moment, everyone on Zhenhai Tower's side felt their heads buzzing.

They had never imagined that Jiang Yuesheng's strength was so terrifying.

Even Jin Lihai seemed no match for her.

Those with quicker minds began to realize that something more was at play.

Li Wu, the sharpest among them, glared at Jiang Yuesheng, then kicked Jin Lili, who was missing all four limbs, away. He took out the little skeleton's phone and began his performance.

After all, there were things Jiang Yuesheng couldn't do or say, leaving it to her 'son' to speak up.

"Governor, you must stand up for me, no, for Minister Jin!

There are bad people in Zhenhai Tower!

Team 042 worked hard to defeat Team 044 and become the High School League champions. You granted us the Zhenhai Token as a reward, allowing us to claim a few Summoned Beasts from Zhenhai Tower.

It was said that Zhenhai Tower would reward us."

This was to legitimize the token.

"But when we arrived, we only found Bronze and Black Iron Rank Summoned Beast pups, not a single Silver Rank.

We initially thought Zhenhai Tower was impoverished, and it made us feel uncomfortable.

We were considering giving up, not wanting to burden them, but the Logistics Department staff insisted, saying there might be Summoning Stones and Summoned Beast eggs in their garbage heap.

When I heard that, I was deeply touched. They even let us search through their garbage heap, including the warehouse's! Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department was so generous.

We went with a reverent attitude, and guess what? We indeed found treasures in the garbage heap.

We discovered two Summoned Beasts, right here."

Li Wu pointed at the bewildered Hellhound Pup, which kept leaning towards him, repeatedly calling out 'Master'.

"This one is Golden Grade, and this one is Royal Grade.

I never imagined finding such Summoned Beast pups in Zhenhai Tower's garbage heap.

More surprisingly, these two pups were left by Minister Jin in the warehouse!"

When I heard this news, I was furious. What's happening in this world? What's wrong with Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department?

They let a hardworking minister misplace such precious pups and then sweep them into the garbage heap."

Everyone present was stunned.

They were shocked that he had exploded with anger, as if he were a pufferfish. How could he explode like that? Don't you have any idea how he exploded?

Even Jiang Yuesheng frowned and approached Li Wu, patting him on the head.

He took out a book and flipped through it.

"Speak properly!"

His gaze then fell on Li Wu's bloodied hand, and his eyebrows furrowed.

"What happened to your hand?"

"I told them I recorded it on my phone, and then my phone... I don't know how it exploded and injured me. But it's not too serious."

Li Wu glanced at Jiang Yuesheng, who finally noticed his injury, and a smile crept onto his face as he endured the pain, knowing the green cub's healing skills would come in handy.

'Play the victim, even if the rich lady is stingy, she'll still give me a reward, right?'

However, Li Wu only intended to feign injury. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuesheng's expression darkened as she turned to look at Jin Lihai.

Li Wu immediately sensed an energy clash, and Jin Lihai's face changed again as one of his hands exploded with injuries.

Despite not having a direct break, the pitiful sight was more tragic than Li Wu's.

Jiang Yuesheng was even more domineering, declaring, "My son, Jiang Yuesheng, is not someone anyone can mess with. Besides me, no one is allowed to touch him!"

Seeing this scene, Li Wu's heart couldn't help but surge with infinite yearning.

A rich madam is indeed a formidable force, seizing the opportunity to directly cripple her opponent.

Well, in Li Wu's opinion, the rich madam is taking advantage of the situation to retaliate against the other side. As for what the rich madam said, Li Wu doesn't trust even a punctuation mark.

He's well aware of the situation after today's events. He knows his rich madam is thinking deeply.

It's best to just listen to her words. Taking them seriously might get you sold out.

"I love my godmother.

Godmother, this is my little skeleton's phone. I told them I recorded it on my phone, but I actually used our little skeleton's phone."

"Here, I've sent you all the videos since I arrived at Zhenhai Tower."

As soon as Li Wu spoke, Jin Lihai's already gloomy face turned even darker.

The big shots among the Zhenhai Tower higher-ups present distanced themselves from Jin Lihai and his associates.

No one at this level is an idiot.

Everyone realized that today's event was planned by Jiang Yuesheng, who has been sitting in the Governor's position for five years without any significant achievements.

The objective was simple: to take down Jin Lihai's faction and seize control of Zhenhai Tower, which should have been under her command all along.

Lurking for five years, striking with precision.

Not only was it fast and accurate, but it also showcased Jiang Yuesheng's abilities.

It was easy to associate this with Li Wu's initial pretense. Anyone with a brain knows Jin Lihai's faction is doomed this time.

At the very least, the Logistics Department is definitely his to lose. If things go south, Jin Lihai's position as Tower Master might also be in jeopardy.

Sure enough, after Jiang Yuesheng watched the videos Li Wu sent over, he casually tossed the barely breathing Jin Lihai in front of the Discipline Department head, who was still kneeling on the ground.

He even threw the phone over.

"How should he be dealt with? Since you can't do it, you might as well give up your position."

Jiang Yuesheng wasn't surprised, casually spitting out two names.

"Wang Li Hai, Xu Qing Li."

"Present!" "Present!"

Two people stood up among the big shots.

"Starting today, Wang Li Hai will take over the Logistics Department, and Xu Qing Li will take over the Discipline Department. Who agrees, and who disagrees?"

At this point, who would dare speak up?

It was clear they had it all planned out. Speaking up would be useless.

"Very well, since no one disagrees, it's settled!

You two, go ahead and take over your departments, and thoroughly investigate Jin Li Hai. I want to know how many things he lost in the warehouse, and how many lost items there are in the warehouse!"

"Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!"

The two obvious lackeys of Jiang Yuesheng stood up and left.

As for those watching the spectacle, they also dispersed, including Jin Lihai, who was limping with a broken arm. From start to finish, he didn't dare to look back at the arrogant Jin Li Hai lying on the ground.

Everyone knew that from today onwards, Zhenhai Tower was going to change, and even the entire Jiangnan might undergo a transformation.

Some couldniments couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Looking back at Jiang Yuesheng's five-year infiltration in Jiangnan.

Five years of lurking, without showing his true capabilities.

He sat in the Governor's position, playing the role of a figurehead.

Everyone thought this figurehead was just a puppet, and some even maliciously assumed she got to the Governor's position because of her looks.

Until today, they realized this seemingly harmless figurehead was actually a formidable and cunning big shot!

...

Can this chapter be counted as two? If so, I'll make up for the chapter I owe.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 191: Strength Through Adversity

Zhenhai Tower, Logistics Department.

All matters concluded.

Li Wu immediately handed the green cub to Dudu and gestured for Lin Jianying to quickly go and contract the Hellhound.

"Did I say these two babies are for you?"

Jiang Yuesheng raised an eyebrow, and Li Wu hurried to her side.

"Mom, my dear mom!"

Li Wu's face was filled with flattery, and his voice was unbearably sweet.

Seeing Li Wu's expression, Jiang Yuesheng couldn't help but recall another face—a face that was exactly like Li Wu's when he was eating soft meals.

The thought made Jiang Yuesheng's initially good mood sour. She coldly hummed, "You're so smart, you should've guessed that I'm using these two as bait. I'll discard them after using them!

Don't even think about taking them!"

The current Jiang Yuesheng was no longer the same person she used to be. The door to eating soft meals from her was firmly shut, and the windows were locked too!

Her decision was made; she wouldn't give anything to Li Wu. Let him work for nothing and repay his debts.

This determination was unwavering.

Ten minutes later...

"Thank you, Mom. I love you so much; you're like my own mother!"

Li Wu sweetly expressed his gratitude, then happily followed Jiang Tianyang with Dudu to the Nursery Zone.

Jiang Yuesheng initially smiled, but after Li Wu left, her mind suddenly cleared, and she covered her face with both hands.

"Oh no! I gave it to him!"

Not only did she give it to him, but she also asked Li Wu to make another trip to the Nursery Zone. By this time, all Silver Rank and above Summoned Beast pups had returned to the Nursery Zone. She wanted Li Wu to take a look and bring one back.

This slap in the face came swiftly, and she hadn't expected it herself.

She had made up her mind not to give anything to Li Wu, but Li Wu's flattering attitude was too much like someone else's.

Moreover, with every 'Mom' he uttered, Jiang Yuesheng's resolve crumbled, and she succumbed.

"It's not like I'm giving it to him. He gave it to his two teammates, so it's not like I'm giving it to him!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuesheng could only console herself.

Speaking of which, Li Wu's decision to share the Summoned Beasts with his teammates was somewhat unexpected to Jiang Yuesheng.

Especially the green cub—she hadn't anticipated that he would give it to Dudu.

However, Jiang Yuesheng was surprisingly not opposed to Li Wu's action; she just felt a bit sour. That guy had never treated her so well.

Shaking off the sourness in her heart, Jiang Yuesheng clenched her fists and watched Li Wu walk away, her heart filled with resentment.

"He got a good deal this time, but there's no way I'll ever give him the slightest advantage again. I want him to work for me for a lifetime!"

...

Li Wu's side.

After some commotion, Li Wu returned to the Nursery Zone for Summoned Beasts.

Upon his return, indeed, the Silver Rank Summoned Beast pups had come back.

Li Wu didn't hesitate and headed straight for the Beast Form Avian section.

His goal was clear—to raise a flying beast.

Avian Summoned Beasts were quite popular among the various types of Summoned Beasts, and there were still many Avian Summoned Beast pups in the Zhenhai Tower."

In addition to the Bronze and Black Iron Rank ones Li Wu had seen before, there were now 33 more Silver Rank Avian Summoned Beast pups.

"Hmm, this is how the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department should look, but aren't there any Golden Rank ones?"

Apparently, Li Wu still wasn't satisfied with the Silver Rank pups.

Jiang Tianyang, standing nearby, smirked, "Do you think Golden Rank ones are so common? If they were, that guy wouldn't have been so shameless as to not even leave a dog for you!"

Li Wu agreed but couldn't help feeling disappointed.

After all, his standards were high, and he found it challenging to be satisfied with Silver Rank Summoned Beasts.

As he scanned the 33 Summoned Beasts, not a single one met Li Wu's approval, making him feel particularly dejected.

"I came here for nothing. I should've known to ask the Rich Lady to get me a Royal Grade Avian Summoned Beast."

Li Wu wanted to go back and ask for one, but he guessed that by now, the Rich Lady might have realized her mistake, and it would be unlikely to get another one.

"Forget it, let's go... Hey, what's that?"

Li Wu was about to head home when he spotted a chubby creature running in the Avian section. The little guy was exceptionally domineering, charging at the Silver Rank pups.

It looked like it was going to fight.

Well, it wasn't just going to fight; it was indeed going to fight.

Although it charged fiercely, its combat effectiveness seemed lacking.

As soon as it entered, it was swatted to the ground by a cub's wing, and then the opponent stepped on it, pecked it, plucked out its few remaining feathers, and let it go.

But the released little guy didn't run away; it took a few steps back, charged forward again, and was slapped to the ground once more.

This scene repeated itself.

The chubby creature, now featherless and swollen from the beating, seemed to know neither pain nor fear.

It relentlessly charged at its target.

Despite its defeats, the creature always rose again, tenaciously biting and refusing to let go, resembling a bald-headed cockatoo.

"This little one has some spirit!"

Jiang Tianyang also noticed it and picked up the small creature, examining it closely.

The little one, annoyed at being grabbed, turned and pecked at Jiang Tianyang in protest.

Li Wu, standing nearby, glanced at the creature's attributes.

...

Name: Tenacious Skylark

Strength: 1-Star (Ordinary)

Quality: Ordinary (Enhancement) (?)

Attribute: Ice

Status: Angry (Don't hinder my fight! I will become the King of Brawlers!)

Special Skill: Awakening (Seems to awaken skills through beatings)

Description: A hybrid skylark, it possesses ordinary quality but seems to harbor unique powers within.

...

Li Wu's eyes lit up as he studied its attributes.

To be fair, the previous dog and green cub had been arranged by Rich Madam, so the only creature he had truly acquired through his own efforts was this plucked bird.

Based on its attributes, the little creature seemed promising.

However, Li Wu hesitated about keeping it.

"Why is it only ordinary quality?" Jiang Tianyang lamented.

A 6 and a 9, a book, and a bar, all without a single mistake!

Yes, Jiang Tianyang's disappointment mirrored Li Wu's hesitation. Everything about the bird was fine except for its ordinary quality, which was a deal-breaker.

His little skeleton had been raised from ordinary quality by Li Wu himself. Was he expected to do the same with another ordinary creature?

It seemed like a tedious task.

So, Li Wu ultimately shook his head, deciding to let the little creature go.

"Put it back!"

But as Li Wu prepared to return it, the bird seemed to fix its gaze on him.

Its eyes, bright and piercing, locked onto Li Wu.

Li Wu glanced at its status, and his face darkened.

Excited: Human, do you want to fight? I sense I can beat you!

Li Wu couldn't bear it any longer.

A mere featherless bird dared to challenge him? Was he so weak that even a bird could defeat him?

Li Wu couldn't tolerate this. Without a word, he rolled up his sleeves.

"Come on, let's fight!"

And so, a man and a bird engaged in combat.

Surprisingly, despite its ordinary quality, the bird, standing only fifty centimeters tall and having been plucked by other cubs, proved to be a formidable opponent.

Li Wu struggled to subdue the little creature.

Stepping on it, Li Wu exuded an air of arrogance, reminiscent of the aura after punching the South Mountain Nursing Home.

"Challenge me, and you'll regret it!"

Jiang Tianyang was dumbfounded by Li Wu's sudden actions.

How had Li Wu ended up fighting the bird? And why did he feel so triumphant after defeating it?

Beating a bird had somehow boosted his ego.

What baffled Jiang Tianyang even more was the applause that suddenly erupted.

It was Dudu, clapping with the little skeleton.

As Dudu clapped, she sincerely exclaimed, "Li Wu is the best!

Are you serious?

Jiang Tianyang felt an urge to grab Dudu and ask if she was being genuine.

Was she joking or not?

At that moment, Lin Jianying's voice was heard, "Li Wu is indeed the most talented breeder. His methods of raising summon beasts are exceptional."

Jiang Tianyang's mind buzzed with these words.

'Are you sure he's actually raising summon beasts?'

It seemed more like a one-sided beating.

In that moment, Jiang Tianyang felt like the world had gone astray. Dihua was truly terrifying.

The two individuals by Li Wu's side had clearly lost their minds from spending too much time with him.

Indeed, personal worship was not something to indulge in.

As Jiang Tianyang prepared to stop Li Wu and rescue the poor bird, an unexpected event occurred.

The little bird being pinned down by Li Wu started to glow.

Startled, Li Wu quickly stepped away, while Jiang Tianyang was left utterly bewildered.

What was happening?

Was Li Wu not just fighting the bird but actually communicating with it?

Was the world not wrong, but his own understanding?

He wasn't sure.

As Li Wu pummeled the bird, its special skill awakened.

Amidst the light, the bird's attributes transformed.

The ordinary quality instantly elevated to Black Iron.

A new skill appeared in its skill list.

...

Indomitable Growth (Beginner) (A passive skill where beatings lead to strength. Each blow enhances its strength, quality, and skill proficiency.)

PS: It's not strong enough because it hasn't endured enough beatings. For this skill to reach its full potential, proper nutrition is essential!)

...

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 192: Summoner Talent

Although the bird's quality is not up to par, its skills are, so in the end, Li Wu still took the bird back.

After this incident, the following matters basically had nothing to do with Li Wu.

Jiang Yuesheng also didn't give Li Wu anything to do, allowing Li Wu to focus on preparing for the [Legacy Ground] in two weeks.

After the High School League, Li Wu didn't have any other activities to do.

So, as soon as he got home, Li Wu started pondering about preparing for the [Legacy Ground].

"Two weeks is not long, not short, the time must be arranged well.

What can be done, what should be done, I must make a list."

Li Wu thought it through.

It took a little time to list what he could prepare.

One, is the knowledge related to the altar sacrifice and the materials for the altar sacrifice.

One, is the training of the summoned beasts, especially the three small summoned beasts, he must let them form a certain combat power within two weeks.

Also, Li Wu must prepare for the promotion of the professional summoner.

Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, this time the [Legacy Ground] will definitely be able to let the little skeleton and the little goldfish advance to the leader level.

Their strength reaches the leader level, and Li Wu will officially become a professional summoner.

The professional summoner and the non-professional summoner is a huge watershed.

Before the profession, summoners are all salted fish, they have no combat power, and their self-preservation is extremely poor. One carelessness, and they may be chilled.

But after the promotion, it's different.

After the leader level, the feedback from the summoned beasts will no longer be spiritual feedback, but will also gain strength, energy, and even skill feedback.

Yes, skill feedback!

Professional summoners can gain the skills of their summoned beasts.

After the summoned beast is promoted to the leader level, the summoner will randomly gain one of the skills under his command.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yuesheng can suppress the entire field without even lighting up the summoned beasts.

Because she doesn't need summoned beasts, she herself is an extremely terrifying existence.

Also, some very individual summoners will awaken summoner talent after the promotion, and these summoner talents can not only enhance the summoner's strength but also greatly increase the ability of the summoned beasts.

It can be said that after the profession, summoners are no longer just 666 salted fish that need all-round protection in the battle.

They can make a substantial contribution in the battle.

Li Wu does some experiments, and he doesn't have to worry about accidentally knocking himself out.

The most important thing is that after becoming a profession, Li Wu will be able to regain the strength to beat that bird again.

Although the strength of the professional summoner is definitely one big grade higher than that of his summoned beasts, but if he's lower than that bird's strength, he should still have it.

So, Li Wu thinks that these two weeks, if he has time, he should also research information related to professional summoners.

If he can research out a summoner talent, that would be the best.

Li Wu thinks so, and so he does.

So, in the following time, Li Wu's life once again returned to being down-to-earth.

Every day at six o'clock, he and Hahahaa, Li Wu's third summoned beast, do a morning workout with that bird that has been plucked of all its feathers.

Then he hands the bird over to Lin Jianying, and Lin Jianying uses the dog to repeatedly abuse this bird.

Yes, although the bird's skills have awakened, but its combat power is still not as good as the dog's, and it's always getting beaten when it's being punched.

While beating the bird, Plump Dudu sits on the side with the Green Cub.

The bird is almost done, and the Green Cub gives it a [Recovery].

The master-level recovery is still quite powerful, ensuring the bird's safety.

Plus some resource allocation, the bird's promotion is quite fast.

And Li Wu himself, holding a computer, sits next to Plump Dudu and goes crazy studying.

The first three days Li Wu didn't study the knowledge related to the altar sacrifice, but spent three days integrating and organizing the training program for the three new guys.

For Lin Jianying's dog, Li Wu was a little lazy, and he just found a Hellhound breeding program and gave it to him after a simple modification.

The remaining birds and Plump Dudu's Green Cub, Li Wu worked hard for it. Plump Dudu, I couldn't find its information on the intranet.

There's no way, Li Wu could only find a [King Protea] breeding program that looks similar to it, and after integrating more than a dozen breeding programs, Li Wu finally organized an auxiliary-based training program for it, adding a few offensive skills

"Green Cub Training Program": "Little Skeleton Training Manual Series"

```

The rest of the bird and Plump Dudu's Green Cub, Li Wu worked hard on it.

Plump Dudu's Green Cub, Li Wu couldn't find its information on the intranet.

There's no way, Li Wu could only find a [King Protea] breeding program that looks similar to it, and after integrating more than a dozen breeding programs, Li Wu finally organized an auxiliary-based training program for it, adding a few offensive skills, after all, the altar is to be used.

(End)

The training of the Hellhound and the Green Cub took up a day of Lu Wu's time.

As for the Skylark, it took him two full days.

Lu Wu spent two days consolidating 53 breeding plans for the Great Skylark and, considering its unique trait of becoming stronger through beatings, created a "Beating 4.0" training regimen.

After finalizing the plans for all three creatures, Lu Wu shifted his focus to the knowledge of altars and sacrifices, embarking on another intensive learning session.

This study session lasted for a week and a half!

During this time, Lu Wu shut out the outside world, solely concentrating on preparing for his entry into the Legacy Ground.

However, the world outside his window was not at peace during these two days.

The unrest, in a sense, could be traced back to Zhenhai Tower and was closely related to Lu Wu.

It began with Jiang Yuesheng's suppression of Jin Lili, followed by the takeover of Zhenhai Tower's Logistics and Discipline Departments.

But this was just the beginning. After assuming Jin Lili's position, Wang Li Hai initiated a thorough investigation into Jin Lili's corruption within the Logistics Department over the years.

Jiang Yuesheng's actions were like a snake in the grass, waiting for the right moment to strike. After five years of lying low, she unleashed her power.

Within half a month, countless influential figures fell from grace, and the seemingly impenetrable network of interests was torn apart by her.

She reclaimed the authority that was rightfully hers.

In just half a month, Jiang Yuesheng transformed from a mere figurehead into the true Governor of Jiangnan.

Although she was still far from completely controlling the region, the Governor's Mansion's voice in Jiangnan had grown louder.

Lu Wu's status as the Governor's adopted son now carried more weight, unlike his previous powerless position at Zhenhai Tower.

"It's time to pause for a while. If we continue, we might touch upon their sensitive nerves, and they might do something irrational. Let's not overdo it."

Inside the Governor's Mansion, a woman in a wheelchair, dressed in white, with black-framed glasses and an air of intelligence, pushed her glasses up and spoke to Jiang Yuesheng, who stood before her.

"Yes, I also need to pause and digest what we've gained here!" Jiang Yuesheng replied while reviewing documents.

The woman in white changed the topic, "What about the Jiangnan University situation? They're in a difficult position. If their ranking doesn't improve next year, Jiangbei might initiate a reckoning, and it could get messy."

"Don't worry about Jiangnan University; I have it under control!"

"The adopted son you just took in?" The white-clad woman raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yuesheng nodded, "I've assigned that task to him."

"Are you planning to have him participate in next year's university league?"

"I've agreed to let him lead the team!"

Even the white-clad woman, with her profound cultivation, couldn't help but frown at this statement.

"Governor, are you not placing too much confidence in him? He hasn't even enrolled yet, and he'll only be a freshman when the competition starts next year. He might struggle to perform well against juniors and seniors. Are you sure he won't let you down?"

Jiang Yuesheng paused, stopped reviewing the documents, and looked directly at the white-clad woman, "He's my son, and he won't lose!"

The white-clad woman's mind went blank for a moment.

Where does this confidence come from? And is he even your biological son?

She felt like the woman's mind might be playing tricks on her.

Meanwhile, Lu Wu was inspecting his preparations for entering the Legacy Ground.

"Summoned beast training is complete."

"Sacrificial materials are ready."

"I've also learned the basics for promotion."

"Now, there's just one thing left!"

At this point, Lu Wu looked at his little goldfish.

"Go and gather all your hundreds of little brothers for me!"
