My starting summon is a small skeleton

Lingnan, Demon Cave, Fallen Demon Valley.

As the shadow leopard swiped its claws, the three underlings of Lu Wu all advanced, and three streams of power surged from within Lu Wu's body.

The burst of power allowed Lu Wu's strength to break through.

But at this moment, Lu Wu had no time to indulge in the sensations of his breakthrough.

His three underlings were currently advancing, and no one was coming to his rescue; Lu Wu could only save himself.

Enduring the pain in his back, a flash of electricity manifested on his body, unleashing all his power to dodge the shadow leopard's second wave of attacks.

As Lu Wu dodged, he discovered...

His strength and speed both had drastically increased and were still improving.

What shocked Lu Wu even more was that he could clearly see the shadow leopard's attributes.

…

Description: This should be the strongest Summoned Beast you've faced so far.

…

The system wasn't wrong; this beast was indeed the strongest Lu Wu had encountered since his debut.

It was terrifyingly powerful.

Normally, Lu Wu wouldn't last more than one or two rounds against it.

Now, by being able to see the opponent's attributes and quickly discerning the intentions of the shadow leopard, Lu Wu narrowly dodged several attacks, but this only prolonged his stamina for three more rounds.

In the fourth round, the shadow leopard cornered Lu Wu.

Just as Lu Wu was about to be smacked into the ground by the shadow leopard, one of his three evolving underlings finally completed its evolution.

A figure rushed forward, unbelievably fast, and directly collided with the shadow leopard.

Lu Wu was stunned when he saw the figure's appearance.

It was a bird about 1.3 meters tall, with wings almost three meters wide and covered in ice-blue feathers, looking extraordinarily majestic.

Of Lu Wu's three underlings, only one was a bird, clearly the silly one.

The attributes confirmed to Lu Wu that he wasn't wrong; this was indeed the silly one.

…

It must be said, this little fellow's appearance improves significantly with each evolution.

But its looks, just like Dudu's, never last for long.

Last time its feathers recovered only to be plucked out by Little Skeleton, and now, although not plucked, it was slashed several times by the shadow leopard, covered in blood, and its peak appearance instantly ruined.

Even its little life seemed in danger.

As Lu Wu was preparing to join the combat, another great wave of water surged over, slamming into the shadow leopard.

This trick had just been tried once before, and the shadow leopard, recognizing it, knew that the golden little fish was coming.

The enraged shadow leopard summoned all of its strength, calming its mind and secretly gathering power to wait for the little goldfish, ready to burst forth and whisk the little goldfish away.

However, it didn't even sense the little goldfish's presence before it was slapped across the face by a tail.

This burst of power far exceeded the shadow leopard's expectations, directly sending it flying, while simultaneously the little goldfish surfaced, opening its mouth to spray a massive water column right onto the shadow leopard.

Lu Wu also saw the little creature's attributes as the goldfish surfaced.

The skills and talents had not changed much in form; it was just that its strength had reached Leader 1 Star, and the Child of the Sea skill could boost its power to the Lord 1 Star Level.

Of course, this was already terrifying.

Keep in mind, the little goldfish wasn't even fighting in its favored environment.

The strength it demonstrated now was not even half of its full might; it could still become even stronger.

On the shadow leopard's side, having been taken by surprise by the little goldfish's assault, although it was somewhat disheveled, being a genuine Lord Level, it wasn't so easily defeated.

It felt it could still fight.

However, just as the shadow leopard was about to burst forth, a silver-white long spear, suddenly thrust forward from behind it.

This attack was unexpected, but even so, with the spear's speed, the shadow leopard could have dodged it.

With the spear's thrust, an almost indistinct roar resounded, mysterious and powerful, momentarily affecting the shadow leopard, causing it to slow down by a step—too late to avoid the spear entirely.

"No choice," the Shadow Leopard had to directly activate Shadow Transformation to avoid the spear filled with silvery white lightning.

At this moment, Lu Wu's eyes were fully fixed on Little Skeleton.

Little Skeleton had now completed its second evolution, undergoing significant transformations.

Although its height had still not broken through the 170cm barrier, remaining around 1.6 meters, its attire had undergone a massive change.

The original Mage Robe had been replaced with a suit of seemingly light armor, adorned with some mysterious runes on its bones and a Bone Crown on its head, which looked quite imposing.

The attribute panel had also seen significant changes.

...

Description: Don't have any expectations for Little Skeleton's armor and helmet. They are merely for decoration.

But now, it is indeed stronger, at least having the combat power of a Lord 1 Star.

...

Looking at Little Skeleton's attributes.

Lu Wu couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes.

Impressive, right?

It was all bought with money.

Being naked wasn't enough; Lu Wu had to go through a harsh beating for the evolution to occur.

Lu Wu thought about how hard it had been.

Previously, leveling up Little Skeleton merely involved smashing phones, but now it had evolved to smashing Lu Wu.

Considering this pace, Lu Wu didn't know if he could withstand the next wave.

Well, whether Lu Wu could endure the next wave wasn't clear.

But that Shadow Leopard definitely couldn't withstand this one.

With Little Skeleton completing its evolution, the tide of battle instantly turned. Little Goldfish and Little Skeleton, working together seamlessly, front and back, left the Shadow Leopard battered within just a dozen turns.

However, just as Little Skeleton and Little Goldfish were about to finish off the Shadow Leopard, a voice filled with brutality and displeasure rang out.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you could push the Shadow Leopard to this extent, Lu Wu. You truly live up to your name as a monster."

Lu Wu's expression changed, and he turned to look.

He saw Jin Lihai dragging Zhao Kai Ming's body over.

"What have you done to him?"

"Don't worry, I promised I wouldn't kill Zhao Kai Ming. He's not dead, but his limbs have been broken, and he lost a Summoned Beast; a few years of bed rest should somewhat do the trick," Jin Lihai said as he walked towards Lu Wu.

Little Skeleton and Little Goldfish, seeing this, quickly left the Shadow Leopard and returned to Lu Wu's side. The only one left clueless was Han, who was still under the feet of the Shadow Leopard.

At Jin Lihai's end, seeing Little Goldfish and Little Skeleton returning to retaliate against Lu Wu, the corner of his mouth rose.

"These two Summoned Beasts are pretty good, especially this Little Skeleton. Growing from an ordinary skeleton to what it is now is quite impressive.

But, relying on these two little ones to stop me is still far too inadequate."

As he said this, Jin Lihai let go of Zhao Kai Ming and sped towards Lu Wu.

Seeing this human in front of him, Little Skeleton's entire skeleton flickered with electric light, its Pupil Fire flickered, and its Bone Teeth gnashed, looking particularly fierce as if it wanted to rush up and stab him with a spear.

But Lu Wu held it tightly.

Because he could see the opponent's attributes, Master Level Peak power was definitely not something Little Skeleton could handle, nor something they could solve by force.

Unable to overcome him, Lu Wu's side could only reason.

"Master Jin..."

However, the other party didn't even give him a chance to reason.

Lu Wu hadn't even finished speaking when Jin Lihai had already appeared in front of him, reaching for Lu Wu's neck.

Jiang Yue Xing was nearby, Jin Lihai didn't know how long Zhang Yunyi could last, so it was safer to take Lu Wu down first.

Ah, this was a very rational approach, but at the same time a very wrong approach.

Jin Lihai's hand stretched out, and before he even touched Lu Wu, Lu Wu had already passed out.

All of Lu Wu's Summoned Beasts succumbed, sprawling out simultaneously.

"What's happening?"

Jin Lihai was stunned; he hadn't even touched him. Why had Lu Wu suddenly collapsed?

Instinctively sensing something was wrong, he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But it was too late, or rather, even if he retreated, it was already too late.

At the same time, a figure emerged from Lu Wu's heart, dressed in a white palace attire, holding an ice-blue Longsword in her hand, her face veiled, her aura ethereal as if a banished fairy.

Seeing this person, Jin Lihai froze, then as if thinking of something, he looked unbelievably at Lu Wu.

Realizing Lu Wu's identity, he knelt immediately.

"I didn't mean to..."

His plea was cut short as a seemingly invisible Sword Qi swept across, and everyone still standing fell down.

With one sword, this fairy turned to look towards Zhang Yunyi and others.
