My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 267 - 264 three months

On September 25, Jiangnan University announced an internal competition, subsequently launching an online store and entering into collaboration with Lu Wu’s Lu Group.

September 30 saw the establishment of Jiangnan University’s task system, which began operation; academic points were also made available for external exchange.

The last major initiative began on October 1, when Lu Wu invited cultivators from the Alliance to come to Jiangnan University for an academic exchange.

The exchange lasted a whole month.

According to Jiangnan University’s official statistics, a total of 811 cultivators participated in the event.

Among them, 31 were at the Master Level, with the rest being Professional Cultivators.

Everyone involved in the exchange gained something, but the biggest winners were undoubtedly Jiangnan University and Lu Wu.

Lu Wu managed to persuade 188 people to stay at Jiangnan University.

That was because many cultivators already had backing from powerful organizations and were not easily able to switch loyalties; otherwise, that number might have been doubled.

With these cultivators joining, the Cultivation Institute at Jiangnan University was quickly established.

The task system of Jiangnan University’s Cultivation Institute was being perfected, and the store continued to launch new products.

Also, during this exchange, the term “Mr. Lu” started to spread.

Reportedly, even Cultivation Masters at the Master Level showed Lu Wu the respect due to a teacher.

This news spread, further enhancing Lu Wu’s infamy.

It can be said that after this exchange, Lu Wu’s status in the world of summoners underwent a tremendous shift.

Initially, he was merely seen as an anomaly, a future Grandmaster, a future big shot.

But after the exchange, people realized that Lu Wu had already grown; at least in the domain of cultivation, he was undoubtedly a big shot.

Even Master Level cultivators showed deference to Lu Wu, indicating just how formidable he was in the field. Some even began to call him a Grandmaster.

Following the exchange,

Lu Wu and Jiangnan University put a hold on any significant moves, with Lu Wu disappearing from the public eye.

This absence lasted for more than a month.

It wasn’t until December 5 that Jiangnan University issued an official announcement through official channels.

The content was specific.

From December 15 to 17, Jiangnan University would be open to the public.

During this period, anyone who had either spent over 500 academic points in Jiangnan Mall or had that amount in their account could present the relevant proof and enter Jiangnan University to watch the first Summoner competition.

This announcement served as both an invitation and a marketing tactic.

Many who already had investments in the competition, who were already interested in the current state of Jiangnan University, acted on it.

That day, sales in Jiangnan University’s online store reached new heights.

Zhang Wentao, counting his money in the background, couldn’t stop grinning.

Yet what excited and intrigued Zhang Wentao even more than the revenue wasn’t the money; he was looking forward to December 15, the day the campus would open to the public.

There’s a saying, isn’t there?

“Walking in brocade at night is like being rich without returning home.”

Jiangnan University was finally turning things around, and Old Zhang was naturally eager to show off.

So, it was actually his idea to open the campus to the public.

He just wanted to strut a bit.

Old Zhang’s penchant for showing off was something Lu Wu had become familiar with during his time in Beijing.

Hence, he didn’t stand in the way.

The old man had struggled for most of his life; now that he finally had the chance, why not let him strut? It’s not as if there was nothing to show off.

Time swiftly moved to December 15, and Jiangnan University was especially lively that day.

For one, it was the first day the university was open to outsiders, and the final of the big competition at Jiangnan University was fast approaching.

That day, Zhang Wentao was bustling around the school gate early.

“Hey, isn’t that Old Li from East University? You’re here too? Come and sit down, please.”

“Director Zhao from Magic City University? Hello, hello, hello, take a seat, quick…”

“Professor Liu from Jingcheng University, a pleasure to meet you…”

…

The president of Jiangnan University was personally welcoming guests at the school gate.

A bit undignified, perhaps, but Zhang Wentao was doing it with great enthusiasm and excitement.

He was specifically looking out for people from other schools.

As soon as he spotted someone, he was sure to pull them aside for a chat.

Boasting and showing off in various ways.

Occasionally dropping hints like, “My hands have been rather dry lately,” while simultaneously flashing the Gold Level item that Lu Wu had given him.

If it caught someone’s attention, Zhang Wentao would just wave his hand dismissively.

“This trinket? It’s a casual creation by our Xiao Lu. To purchase? No, no, no. The quality? It’s just Gold, pretty average really.”

“Let’s not talk about this… Ah, why is it so blinding?

Oh, it’s the glare from our brand new gate. Honestly, that kid Lu Wu, I told him the old gate was fine, no need for renovations, but he wouldn’t listen and went on to spend over a million yuan refurbishing a new one.

He even collaborated with those Masters from the Cultivation Institute to turn it into an enchanted item, claiming it had detection and even Lord Level suppression capabilities.

What’s the point of this fuss? Jiangnan University is secure; who would attack us?

Isn’t it a waste of money?

Sure, we only spent a few million points, but wouldn’t it cost someone else an arm and a leg?

Ah, Lu Wu’s a good kid; it’s just his unused hardships don’t teach him thrift.”

Was it that Old Zhang had been repressed for too long? Having the chance to show off, he couldn’t restrain himself—it was a complete self-indulgence.

He almost drove the people he clung onto insane with his incessant bragging.

If they weren’t genuinely curious about Jiangnan University’s current state and the important competition, they would hardly tolerate Zhang Wentao’s nouveau riche demeanor.

Anyone there? Make a noise!
