My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 88 - 087 Lu Haikong returns

Fucheng Cultivation Master Professional Center Cultivation Room.

Having been punished for the previous fishing incident, Zhao Kai Ming, with nothing else to occupy his time, had been holed up in the Cultivation Room for research over the past few days.

Right now, he was focused on researching nothing other than Lu Wu’s Little Skeleton Soup.

The reason this old man was delving into this was because he hadn’t given up on Lu Wu yet.

Those two old men just temporarily prohibited him from taking Lu Wu as an apprentice. It wasn’t as if it were forbidden forever.

Zhao Kai Ming felt that, with adequate preparation, there was still hope to make Lu Wu his apprentice.

In terms of preparation, Zhao Kai Ming thought it would be a good starting point to work on something that interested Lu Wu.

Wasn’t Lu Wu’s initial summoned beast a Little Skeleton?

Wasn’t he always researching how to improve the quality of his Little Skeleton?

Zhao Kai Ming believed he could give him a boost in this regard.

After all, the quality of Lu Wu’s house’s Little Skeleton had reached the Bronze Level, and its power had also reached 2 stars.

By Little Skeleton’s potential, it was actually already nearly triggering a form change through evolution.

It could be that once the Little Skeleton’s power reached 3 stars, or the Elite Level, it should be able to evolve.

However, not many Cultivation Masters specialized in researching Little Skeletons. Over the past hundred years or so, there hadn’t been many instances of Little Skeleton evolution, and most evolutions were due to chance occurrences, making it particularly difficult to find a viable evolution plan for Little Skeleton.

But this was also an opportunity for Zhao Kai Ming.

If he could develop an advanced plan, he would have a bargaining chip to tempt that kid to become his apprentice.

With this in mind, he had gathered a large group of Little Skeletons lately and started researching using Lu Wu’s "Little Skeleton Soup 4.0" as an entry point.

After toiling for 2 days, he hadn’t found a direction for Little Skeleton Evolution, but he did notice a problem.

"How strange. After in-depth research these past 2 days, I’ve realized that while Xiao Lu’s plan is decent, it doesn’t actually endow the Little Skeleton with Thunder Attribute Skills," mused Zhao Kai Ming.

"Little Skeletons are of the Undead Type, naturally restrained by thunder. It’s difficult enough to eliminate their weakness to thunder, let alone have them master Thunder Skills."

"Even if his Little Skeleton had Companion Equipment for Thunder Attribute Skills, awakening such skills would be extremely difficult, with at most a one in ten thousand chance.

And even if the Thunder Attribute Skills were awakened, it’s doubtful that the Little Skeleton could withstand it, let alone unleash such powerful effects right away!"

Zhao Kai Ming suspected there might be something unusual about Lu Wu’s Little Skeleton.

Or rather, it might have had some serendipity.

"Could it have received something that would help it fuse attributes? But he shouldn’t be able to obtain such an item.

Hmm, the bait I used for fishing seemed to have this ability, could it be that it’s on the Little Skeleton?"

Zhao Kai Ming’s imagination was running wild, but he felt he was being a little too imaginative.

"It can’t be!

No, it definitely can’t be!"

"The bait does have that ability, but it would require killing it and purifying its core to be possible.

That guy went through so much trouble for the bait, he definitely wouldn’t kill it, and even if he did, he absolutely wouldn’t place it on the Little Skeleton."

"It’s not likely that he ran off on his own, leaving the bait behind, and then hid the thing on the Little Skeleton, right?

And just when the Little Skeleton’s quality had improved and then..."

Speaking up to this point, Zhao Kai Ming found it hard to continue.

The more he talked, the more he felt it was a possibility.

And this made him nervous. If his speculation turned out to be true, then Lu Wu would be in great danger.

"No, I must see what’s going on over there!"

Zhao Kai Ming, very anxious, immediately stopped his research and ran to inform Zhang Wentao about his speculations.

His concerns caught Zhang Wentao’s attention.

Although Zhao Kai Ming’s theory was just speculative, without a shred of evidence,

and despite the fact that Lu Wu and his Little Skeleton had been checked over before, with nothing unusual found, it should have been impossible in theory.

But just to be safe, in case the old man’s guess was correct, that would be serious trouble.

So, they immediately contacted Lu Wu.

However, they didn’t say much, just casually chatted to reconfirm Lu Wu’s intent to sign a contract and make sure there were no issues. Once they were sure that Lu Wu was fine and still intended to sign, Zhang Wentao had Zhao Kai Ming take a Divine Origin Fruit to meet with Lu Wu.

If his suspicion proved true, it could protect Lu Wu. If wrong, consider it a simple errand.

"Let’s hope it’s just an errand this time!

Otherwise, it might already be too late for Old Zhao to make a difference."

Watching Zhao Kai Ming leave in a rush, Zhang Wentao could only pray.

On Lu Wu’s end, he wasn’t very clear about Zhao Kai Ming’s situation.

When Zhang Wentao called, he was in the middle of plucking Wang Hanhan’s wool.

After hanging up, Lu Wu was about to continue when the phone rang again.

Picking it up, Lu Wu saw that it was a call from his own old man.

"Son, I’m back from my business trip, I’ll arrive at the train station in thirty minutes. Come and pick me up!"

Lu Wu was at a loss.

He didn’t have a car, so how could he pick up the old man?

But Lu Haikong on the other end didn’t give Lu Wu a chance to refuse, and just hung up, leaving Lu Wu no choice but to stop plucking and take a taxi with Dudu to the station.

Arriving at the station and seeing his old man, Lu Wu finally realized why his father had wanted him to come to pick him up.

Lu Wu looked at the four large suitcases by Lu Haikong’s side: "Did you go on a robbery spree or something?"

"I went out for a while; shouldn’t I bring back some gifts when I come back?"

"This box here is a gift for your mother, this one is for Ni Ni, and these two, these are for you and Dudu."

Speaking so, Lu Haikong passed a pink large suitcase to Dudu.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Dudu smiled sweetly, reaching out to receive it, but was stopped by Lu Haikong: "No, Dudu, don’t handle it; the suitcase is heavy and it’ll be bad to hurt your hands. Let Lu Wu take it."

By now, Lu Wu was used to this and didn’t bother to say much. He pulled two of the suitcases himself and directed Little Skeleton to take the other two.

Hmm, Lu Wu then realized another benefit of the increased strength of Little Skeleton—it could help out with tasks.

While dragging the suitcases, Lu Wu glanced at the last remaining box.

The first three boxes had their recipients, so the last box was presumably for him, right?

Lu Wu was very curious about what the old man had brought him, so he touched the suitcase through the material.

At that moment, Lu Haikong, having noticed his son’s subtle action, added the final point: "Oh, and the last one is for Tuantuan and Little Skeleton."

Lu Wu’s face darkened instantly!
