Skeleton’s Training Manual - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: 056 Hot Topic
After Lu Wu’s team defeated Team 038.
At the earliest possible time, the official website made a report on them as an absolute dark horse.
They also allowed Team 233 to replace Team 038 as the seed team of the Quancheng Cup.
This move by the organizing team further pushed Team 233 to the cusp of the storm.
It made Team 233 receive unprecedented attention.
Lu Wu himself didn’t expect this.
Although he had been wanting to be a dark horse in the Quancheng Cup from the beginning, he did not mean to become a dark horse on the first day of the game.
This victory and success came a bit too quickly, and Lu Wu felt that this might not be a good thing for them.
If possible, he hoped to follow the routine.
At first, they would get paired up with weak teams, and then they get upgraded gradually each round and accumulate experience to polish their skills, and at the finals they would defeat the seed team and become a dark horse.
This advancing route would be more suitable for their team.
Being raised to the level of a seed team right from the start seemed very inappropriate for Lu Wu.
His main concern was actually Hao Zhijian’s mentality.
He was afraid that this boy would get overconfident.
The reason why Lu Wu kept on beating him up in the past month was because he knew that this kid’s ego inflated very easily, and once his ego inflated, it would be hard for Lu Wu to direct the team.
Besides, Lu Wu was also worried that he would do something stupid.
Well, facts had proved that Lu Wu’s worry was not unreasonable or unnecessary.
After the game, as soon as the related articles of the Quancheng Cup came out, and while Lu Wu was still touching the summoned beasts among the pile of girls, Hao Zhijian immediately reposted the related articles on his social media accounts.
With text like [Life has its ups and downs; don’t look down on a poor young man].
After thinking about it, he added @Ye Qingxue.
Hao Zhijian’s mentality was understandable.
He felt that he had worked so hard to get into the special class.
Why did he go to Lu Wu on his first day in the special class? Who was it for? Wasn’t it for Ye Qingxue!
But the result was that he was beaten up for the sake of Ye Qingxue, but not to mention that she didn’t feel distressed or comforted him, and instead she kicked him out of the special class directly.
This incident was an extremely heavy blow to Hao Zhijian’s young heart, and he hated Ye Qingxue for it.
In the past month or so, Hao Zhijian had been holding back a spurt of energy. He really wanted to defeat Ye Qingxue’s special class and prove himself, and at the same time, slap Ye Qingxue on the face fiercely.
But now, Hao Zhijian thought he had done it.
He defeated the seed team 038 right on the first day of the Quancheng Cup, and he was also the MVP of this game.
Such stunning results, coupled with the organizing team’s commendations of him, made Hao Zhijian suddenly lose himself. In addition, since Lu Wu was surrounded by girls, he was not able to wake Hao Zhijian up immediately. Therefore, Hao Zhijian did such a thing as to forward the article intending to slap Ye Qingxue on the face.
He just wanted to slap Ye Qingxue in the face, but what he didn’t expect was the chain reaction that had been caused by his action.
You must know, because of this unexpected victory, he was now the limelight of the Quancheng Cup at this time.
Many official and unofficial media were paying close attention to him, worrying that they could not find any related hot topics to report.
But when his [Life has its ups and downs; don’t look down on a poor young man] came out, everyone could tell that there was some kind of story behind this.
So, all the people pounced on the topic like cats that smelled the fish.
This kind of thing was not a secret, anyone who did sufficient work in the investigation could quickly obtain results. While Lu Wu was still among the pile of girls, the stories about Hao Zhijian, Ye Qingxue and even Lu Wu and Tutu were all uncovered, and various articles were produced at once.
After Lu Wu finally removed himself from the pile of girls and opened the official website of the Quancheng Cup, his face turned grave instantly.
The entire official website was full of relevant article headlines, like [Inspirational! The team that was swept out of the special class trained hard in just one month to become the strongest dark horse in the Quancheng Cup!]
[Shocking! The unbeknownst past between the gorgeous teacher and the talented star student!]
[Tearful! The future of an infatuated ordinary girl was ruined by a scumbag?]
[Anticipating! When will the fateful battle between the strongest dark horse and the special class seed team arrive!]
Teachers and students, unexpected victory, scumbag, face slapping…
Well, people were most fond of such topics.
Therefore, although these articles didn’t come out for long, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, making relevant reports firmly remain as the hottest topic. This further pushed Lu Wu’s team and Ye Qingxue to the cusp of everyone’s attention.
This made Lu Wu lose his temper.
He pulled Hao Zhijian out of the training hall with a stern face, found a place where no one else was, and scolded him.
“What the hell is wrong with you? I’ve told you more than once to put this matter aside. We still don’t have the abilities to defeat them. It’s not time to be opponents with them. And you’ve forgotten about this once I finished talking?”
“With your actions, now everyone in the world knows about our past. Tell me, what’s your intention? Do you know the consequences of doing this?”
At this time, Hao Zhijian was still quite afraid of Lu Wu because of his experience of being suppressed by him for more than a month.
Even though he was feeling a little obstinate, he still slumped his head and didn’t dare to speak back loudly. With a low voice, he argued, “I didn’t expect that my post would stir up trouble. Besides, it was Ye Qingxue who bullied us! She drove Brother Lu out of the special class without giving you a chance. Although you might not care, I just couldn’t stand it!”
To be honest, this kid understood the art of speech.
He knew to include Lu Wu in an attempt to make him agree.
His words were still somewhat effective, as Lu Wu’s expression somewhat eased when he said these words.
Of course, there was nothing Lu Wu could do even if he did not relax. Now that this had already happened, what could he possibly do? Beat up this bastard?
But that would not solve the problem!
No choice, Lu Wu could only pull up Hao Zhijian with a stern face and continued walking.
Being pulled in such a way, Hao Zhijian was a little panicked. “Brother Lu, where are we going?”
“Training. If not, how could you fight in your so-called ‘fateful battle’?”
…
Lu Wu was considered okay.
Although he was furious, he could still contain his emotions quickly, but Ye Qingxue was doing much worse.
When this happened, Ye Qingxue was giving a speech about the competition to her students and correcting the mistakes of these students during the game.
But right in the middle of the talk, a student who was not paying attention suddenly exclaimed.
“Ms. Ye, please open the official website of the Quancheng Cup and have a look!”
Ye Qingxue immediately gave that student murderous looks. “What’s the panic? Has the sky fallen? How many times have I told you to calm down when things happen, don’t be influenced by emotions, you haven’t been listening all along?”
After Ye Qingxue reprimanded the student so much that the student started to tremble, she picked up her phone. “I have to see what makes you so flustered! Could it be a seed team…”
While talking, Ye Qingxue opened the official website of the Quancheng Cup.
In an instant, Ye Qingxue’s beautiful face suddenly lost all expressions. Halfway through the sentence, she stopped, and the atmosphere suddenly grew heavy…
