My starting summon is a small skeleton

Quancheng Cup Competition Venue.

With that sound, all eyes focused on the newcomer.

It was a girl whom Lu Wu had never seen before, yet she felt strangely familiar.

Especially those legs and her facial expression, which looked a lot like Ye Qingxue.

However, this girl seemed even prettier than Ye Qingxue.

Lu Wu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Well, ninety-nine percent of the men present did the same as Lu Wu, of course, excluding the three people from Team 035.

Their bodies shivered when they saw her.

Especially Zhang Yunkai, whose face had been flushed with raging fury, felt a bone-chilling coldness at that moment.

He quickly leaned in, "Squad leader, I was careless just now. If given another chance, I definitely won't lose. Please believe me and give me another opportunity.

This time, I can surely defeat him..."

"Shut up!"

Two cold words were uttered.

Zhang Yunkai immediately clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another superfluous word.

"You lost, accept it. Don't make up ridiculous excuses. Do you want to end up like him?"

The long-legged girl glanced at Hao Zhijian.

Zhang Yunkai stunned for a moment, glanced at Hao Zhijian, then his expression suddenly changed as if he had a sudden realization.

This reaction enraged Hao Zhijian, who was already emotionally unstable due to the unexpected defeat.

"What did you sa..."

Hao Zhijian abruptly stood up, ready to unleash his anger on the long-legged girl, but the girl's cold gaze made him shiver and left him speechless.

The resemblance was uncanny; this girl was just too much like Ye Qingxue.

In her presence, Hao Zhijian felt as though he was directly facing Ye Qingxue, which restrained him from any rash actions.

Watching Hao Zhijian instantly cower, Lu Wu disdainfully curled his lip.

By now, the long-legged girl had already approached Lu Wu.

"You're Lu Wu?"

Lu Wu was taken aback. What was this, a rhetorical question? But still, he nodded.

"Your Little Skeleton is quite impressive. How about returning to the advanced class?"

The moment this was said, not only Lu Wu but everyone was stunned.

Zhang Yunkai and Hao Zhijian were especially anxious—one worried about how to attract Lu Wu to the advanced class, the other concerned about why only Lu Wu was invited.

But right now, both dared not say anything, as all eyes were focused on Lu Wu, curious and expectant about his response.

To be honest, Lu Wu still hadn't figured out who this girl was.

He had been to the selection for the advanced class before and had not seen her, but going by Zhang Yunkai's word, this girl seemed to be the class president.

Now she had mentioned inviting him back to the advanced class; this made Lu Wu quite suspicious, wondering if this girl could be Ye Qingxue's sister.

Regardless of who she was, Lu Wu had no intention of returning to the advanced class.

"Well, it's better not to. My Little Skeleton's quality is poor, quite trash actually, I'd rather not drag you down."

How could a man as magnanimous as Lu Wu consider going back?

Not even if Ye Qingxue herself came pleading would he change his mind.

Receiving such a response, the long-legged girl didn't say much.

She just sighed with regret and then turned around, leading Team 035 away.

This left Lu Wu quite baffled: "She's leaving just like that? Without much of a discussion?"

Lu Wu's words made Long Legs pause, slightly turning back, "After today, the elite class will withdraw from the Quancheng Cup, and you should withdraw too. Don't bother with these minor competitions anymore, they're not suitable for you.

I'm really interested in your Little Skeleton, so here's another piece of advice, take the college entrance exam in another city. That's the only way you might have a chance to make it to the provincial competition!"

"Why?"

"Because our class has monopolized the quota for advancing to the provincial competition from Quan City!"

After saying that, Long Legs turned arrogantly, didn't give Lu Wu a chance to respond, and just walked away.

And this competition, or rather this farce, also turned dull with the departure of Long Legs.

The audience was not in the mood, and the organizers looked as if they had just lost their parents, considering 233 lost, and Quancheng No.3 Middle School's elite class was withdrawing. Now, they were really in over their heads.

At this point, Lu Wu didn't feel like causing more trouble, he gave Hao Zhijian a look urging him to follow and prepared to leave, planning to just call it a day.

However, while Lu Wu wanted to end the day there, Hao Zhijian had no intention of doing so.

The events of the day had been too much for Hao Zhijian.

To say he had fallen from heaven to hell was putting it mildly, he had been preparing to crush team 035 to reach the pinnacle of his life that morning, only to find himself crushed instead.

Then, Lu Wu had strongly defeated Zhang Yunkai, and Long Legs, along with the 035 squad, left and announced their withdrawal.

With this, all his ambitions pinned on the Quancheng Cup had been dashed.

Now, not only could he not become the champion of the Quancheng Cup, nor a new star, nor could he slap Ye Qingxue in the face, and he definitely couldn't expect support from the organizers of the Quancheng Cup anymore.

Even his own team might dissolve, and with his recent performance, it was very likely that he was about to face a situation where he had no teammates and everyone was against him.

Realizing this, a deep sense of fear and even deeper resentment welled up inside Hao Zhijian.

Why resent? Because in his eyes, all of this was caused by Lu Wu!

If it weren't for Lu Wu, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the elite class!

If it weren't for Lu Wu, he wouldn't have had to reform team 233 and wouldn't have lost so embarrassingly!

If it weren't for Lu Wu, his family wouldn't have been swindled out of 8 million by Li Kai!

…

So, everything was Lu Wu's fault!

He would never let Lu Wu off the hook no matter what!

Thus, just as Lu Wu turned to leave, Hao Zhijian let out a hysterical roar, "Lu Wu, stop right there!"

The hysterical roar echoed throughout the competition venue.

However, whether it was Lu Wu or the audience, no one paid much attention to Hao Zhijian.

After all, the awkwardness he had shown in the previous competition was enough, no one was interested in watching his clown performance anymore.

"Don't leave!

Do you know what he has done?

The reason I'm like this now is all because of him!"

"I've figured it all out, I was kicked out of the elite class because of him!

It was because he was expelled from the elite class by Teacher Ye Qingxue that he envied me, provoked me, and schemed for me to be kicked out."

Hao Zhijian shouted desperately, but still, attention was scarce, Lu Wu was even nearly out of the arena.

This made Hao Zhijian even more furious.

"Why won't you believe me?

I really ended up like this because of him; he is a fraudster, he swindled a full eight million from my family!"

This hysterical roar, along with the figure of 8 million, finally caught the interest of the audience, and made Lu Wu stop in his tracks!

…

Stop cursing, there's one more chapter!
