My starting summon is a small skeleton

Quancheng No.3 Middle School, key class area.

Looking at the array of Summoned Beasts of her own students scattered in disarray, Ye Qingxue's face was an iron blue as she listened to the sarcastic remarks coming from Lu Wu's mouth.

Seeing Ye Qingxue's face turn iron blue, Lu Wu immediately couldn't stand it and hurriedly came over with special concern.

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?

Why are you not talking? Are you angry because of these good-for-nothing students?

Hmm, I think so too. What do these guys count for? You've worked so hard to teach them for most of a year, and in the end, they can't even beat a runt you rejected in a glance.

Disgraceful, it's really embarrassing!"

"Mr. Ye, I suggest you definitely expel them all, otherwise such shameful students going out will just get beaten by others.

Those who know will say they're as good as rotten wood, while those who don't will think it's because Mr. Ye, you're capricious and petty, showing favoritism and leading the students astray.

We can't afford this kind of embarrassment!"

"Lu Wu, you're out of line!"

How could Ye Qingxue tolerate this?

She exploded on the spot!

"Take down those two Summoned Beasts for me!"

At this moment, Ye Qingxue's long hair fluttered without wind, and a black three-tailed cat burst out from the region of her heart, charging straight towards Little Skeleton and Tuantuan.

It was evident, despite her anger, Ye Qingxue still had some sense of rationale and didn't go directly for Lu Wu.

However, she had no intention of holding back on Lu Wu's Summoned Beasts.

In the charge of the cat, its front paws were already extended with claws sharp as knives.

Not to talk about killing them, but at least she aimed to inflict serious injuries on them so they couldn't participate in the high school league, making Lu Wu pay the price for today's actions.

Of course, Little Skeleton and Tuantuan wouldn't just sit there waiting for death; Tuantuan immediately tried to create distance while carrying Little Skeleton, who meanwhile unleashed "Bone Teeth" and "Bone Spear" in hopes of intercepting the adversary.

But the gap in power between them was huge. The three-tailed cat was already approaching Leader Level, and Little Skeleton simply couldn't stop it.

In the blink of an eye, the cat broke through Little Skeleton's "Bone Teeth" and "Bone Spear" and effortlessly caught up to Tuantuan, ferociously aiming its claws at Tuantuan's rear end.

Seeing this, Lu Wu's expression darkened, and he was about to speak when a furious shout erupted.

"The out-of-line one is you!"

Accompanied by the shout, a gust of wind arose, and a colossal figure, crackling with lightning, thunderously descended, seizing the cat in a debris-cloud and pressing it to the ground with overwhelming force, making the cat let out pitiful, piercing wails!

This sudden turn of events drastically changed Ye Qingxue's complexion.

At the same time, Li Kai walked over with a cold face: "How dare you bully our Mr. Lu, do you think I, Li Kai, am dead?"

Almost as soon as Li Kai finished speaking, the colossal figure casually swung its arm, and a whooshing sound resounded.

Following that, the previously fierce three-tailed cat was now thrown at Ye Qingxue's feet like a piece of torn cloth.

Simultaneously, as the dust settled, the figure of Li Kai's family Storm Giant Bear was revealed.

Ye Qingxue, upon seeing the Storm Giant Bear, roughly recognized the Summoned Beast's power, and her face turned even paler, filled with disbelief.

"A Leader Level Summoned Beast? How can such a level exist in Quan City?"

But at this point, Li Kai wasn't even paying attention to her. He went straight to Lu Wu with particularly nervous and concerned words: "Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Uncle Li, what brings you here?"

Lu Wu touched his nose, somewhat surprised.

In fact, he had intentionally not sought Li Kai's help. On the one hand, he had already approached Zhao Kai Ming, whose influence was sufficient; on the other, Lu Wu knew that Li Kai was rather resentful of his profession as a Summoner.

Therefore, Lu Wu felt that Li Kai might not want to show his face, so for matters like these, he didn't bother Li Kai.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxue was even more overbearing than he anticipated, and to his surprise, Li Kai actually arrived.

"Li Chun called me and told me about it. Thankfully, I arrived in time. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened?"

After checking Lu Wu and confirming he was indeed unharmed, Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief but also chided, "I mean, if you wanted to deal with her, you could've just told me, no need for you to personally step in and dignify her! What if she went mad and hurt you?"

Lu Wu touched his nose and winked at Li Kai, then seriously said, "Uncle Li, that's where you're wrong. What do you mean by me wanting to teach Mr. Ye a lesson?

I, Lu Wu, respect my teachers and hold up morals. How could I ever think of teaching Mr. Ye a lesson?

Also, your actions just now were too reckless. Mr. Ye was guiding me. His Summoned Beast was holding back; he had no intention of injuring my Little Skeleton.

Your violent and reckless arrival...

If someone didn't know better, they might think Mr. Ye was being narrow-minded, driven to the wall, and in a fit of pique, seeking to assassinate my Summoned Beasts."

"This is how you treat someone's Summoned Beast like a punching bag?

Mr. Ye was showing you face, and you acting so ferociously, could make people think Mr. Ye is an incompetent straw bag that can't even take a single hit from you."

With that, Lu Wu turned to look at Ye Qingxue with a sincere face: "Mr. Ye isn't the kind of narrow-minded, driven to the wall, fit-of-pique straw bag, right?"

"You haven't planned to assault my Summoned Beast, have you?"

Ye Qingxue nearly died of anger upon hearing that insinuating remark.

She wanted nothing more than to summon her other beast and kill Lu Wu on the spot, but with Li Kai next to her, she could only swallow her fury without a word.

But how could she stay silent?

"No way, no way, no way!

Mr. Ye doesn't even reply to me; you can't seriously be like that, right?

If you don't respond, are you genuinely thinking of assaulting my Summoned Beast? If you assault my beast, I can't just stand by. If you won't answer, I'll have to go through channels and report this to the officials, get the Alliance and the Professional Center involved!"

"You!"

Ye Qingxue was so angry she felt like her blood would explode.

"Look how angry the instructor is... Alright, let's just proceed through the procedures.

No worries, no worries, Mr. Ye, rest assured. Despite how I may appear, I know people—Director Zhao Kai Ming from the Fucheng Cultivation Master Professional Center is a contact of mine. I'll just give him a call, and the process will be simple and quick, sorted after the high school competition."

Saying that, Lu Wu directly took out his phone and dialed Zhao Kai Ming's number.

Now Ye Qingxue couldn't sit idly. Normally she wouldn't be afraid, but at this juncture, she really couldn't afford to go through with this process.

So, when she saw Lu Wu making the call, she rushed to stop him: "Don't!"

"Don't what?" Lu Wu asked, his face full of amusement.

Ye Qingxue, humiliated, said: "Don't make the call?"

"Why not? You don't say a word, this is my way of going through procedures!

Otherwise, how will others view you? We can't let you be wronged!"

Ye Qingxue was gritting her teeth with frustration but had no recourse.

After taking a deep breath, she said in complete humiliation, "I'm not that kind of person, I didn't plan to assault your Summoned Beast?"

"You're not what kind of person?" Lu Wu lifted an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied.

Ye Qingxue got his point and threw caution to the wind: "Fine, I admit defeat. I am narrow-minded, a sore loser, a hot-headed idiot—happy now?"

"You hear yourself talking; how could you denigrate yourself by telling the truth like that!!!"

By now, Ye Qingxue had been tormented to the point of losing her temper and simply pretended not to hear Lu Wu's jibes.

What else could she do? After being so embarrassed, she just had to hold her nose and agree, aiming to get Lu Wu out of there as quickly as possible.

But Lu Wu wasn't ready to leave yet; he still wanted to deliver the final blow.

"Mr. Ye, let's not discuss what kind of person you are; let's get back to what was just said.

I remember you said, anyone who can't beat an ordinary class is unworthy of being your student, so now none of them are fit to be your students; why not just expel them?"

That crossed the line for Ye Qingxue.

She could bear being humiliated, but this she could not tolerate.

The nonchalant surrender from earlier was to keep this batch of students—no matter what, she wouldn't expel them.

Even at this moment, she doubled down.

"Lu Wu, I have already backed down, don't push it too far. Don't think just because you have support behind you that you can do whatever you like. It's just a Leader Level Summoned Beast. Is it that powerful?"

"Oh, fierce!"

Lu Wu smirked.

With Ye Qingxue's attitude, Lu Wu had essentially confirmed some of his suspicions.

Ye Qingxue had to secure a remarkable result for her key class students in the high school competition, at least reaching the city level.

So, no matter what, she wouldn't let go of these students.

Having cleared that up, Lu Wu was done causing trouble and didn't plan to linger any longer.

"Mr. Ye, I came in good faith to test your students, and now you think I'm deliberately causing trouble.

Good intentions taken for granted; forget it, I'll just leave!"

With that, Lu Wu shook his head, turned around, and left.

Ye Qingxue watched Lu Wu finally go, letting out a long sigh of relief. But before she could finish her sigh, Lu Wu stopped again: "Oh right, a little plug—I'm starting from today at Uncle Li's shop, offering free tactical arrangement adjustments for all students in Quan City who are not in No. 3 Middle School's key classes, and designing cultivation plans at low cost.

Folks, if you're interested, you might want to leave the key class and come find me. I'm quite confident in cultivation aspects, and I'll give you a discount."

After finishing, Lu Wu left without bothering about Ye Qingxue's suddenly darkened expression, striding away with his company.

But watching Lu Wu leave, Ye Qingxue understood that this guy wasn't done with her; he likely knew something and was preparing to target her.

This infuriated Ye Qingxue to the point where she nearly bit through her teeth.

Despite the rage and the humiliation, Ye Qingxue remained composed: "I'd like to see how you plan to target me!"
