Lu Wu opened Little Skeleton's attribute board and used the modified plan for today.

He didn't know if it was because the change was relatively small this time, or because of the knowledge he had accumulated over the past half month.

Anyway, this time the process went quite smoothly, and the "Little Skeleton Soup" reached version 4.0.

…

Quality Enhancement Plan: Little Skeleton Soup 4.0

Plan Modification: Based on the original 1.0, significant changes were made, with "Elite 1 Star" quality Barbarian Bull Bone as the main ingredient, mixed with Clear Spirit Water, White Bone Grass, Hard Bone Ash, and Thunderstruck Soil among other materials.

Plan Evaluation: The medicinal properties were much stronger than version 1.0, and some substances were purified, increasing the likelihood of forming companion equipment.

Using this plan, there was an eighty percent chance of raising Little Skeleton's quality to the next level.

Also, there was a ten percent chance of Little Skeleton obtaining an additional piece of companion equipment.

…

"Not bad, the plan is acceptable. Let's get started!"

After confirming the plan, Lu Wu began to get busy.

Hmm, he actually didn't need to do much.

The materials Lu Wu needed were already processed by the Professional Center.

At this point, Lu Wu did not need to process anything further; he just had to add the materials to the pot in order and boil them.

The equipment here was professional grade, and soon Lu Wu had finished the prep work and the soup was boiling. He then signaled Little Skeleton to come over.

"Get in!"

Having been stewed several times before, Little Skeleton knew it always became stronger afterward. Previously unable to beat Tuantuan, after several stews it seemed to become as formidable as Tuantuan.

If it stewed once more, it should be able to beat Tuantuan.

Thus, Little Skeleton was quite eager about being stewed, clutching the baseball bat and ready to jump in.

However, just before entering, Little Skeleton suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and under Lu Wu's puzzled gaze, handed over its cellphone.

"What's up?"

Lu Wu was startled, why would the little guy be willing to give up its phone? He patted Little Skeleton and saw its state.

[Smart (Little Skeleton knows, Lu Wu has said that phones will break if they get wet!)]

Lu Wu was astonished at that moment. Did this little guy actually have such intelligence?

"It's fine, this isn't ordinary water. The phone won't break if it goes in. And if it really breaks, no worries, I'll buy you a new one!"

Lu Wu really went to great lengths to get Little Skeleton a companion phone.

It took a lot of effort to persuade Little Skeleton to bring the phone into the pot of medicinal water.

"Alright, finally in. Now it's just a matter of waiting. This medicine is quite potent, no need for three hours, probably just about half an hour to finish!"

Inside the Cultivation Room, Lu Wu was waiting for Little Skeleton to stew.

On the other hand, in Zhang Wentao's office, a few old heads were gathered around, studying Lu Wu's material list while waiting for news from his side.

These three were big shots from the Professional Center, veteran Summon Beast Cultivators with incredibly high skills.

With their expertise, they should have been able to quickly deduce the method or the principle behind Lu Wu's material list.

However, upon receiving the material list, these three old men were somewhat confused.

They found they couldn't understand what was going on.

Well, it's not like they couldn't understand at all—they could easily tell that the core of Lu Wu's plan was Barbarian Bull Bone. But aside from that, many of the ingredients seemed inexplicable to them.

For instance, the electric shock soil, and the Clear Spirit Water...

Many of the materials in this plan were extremely dangerous and could easily lead to disastrous consequences, yet they were all listed.

"Isn't he just messing around? How could such a plan possibly succeed?

And adding all those random ingredients, a mistake could blow everything up!

No, I must stop him. Otherwise, if the pot explodes and Little Skeleton blows up, he'll be laid up for at least half a year!"

Li Mingrui couldn't sit still any longer as he looked over the ingredient list.

Without another word, he stood up to rush to the Cultivation Room but was stopped.

"Old Li, don't panic. Maybe he'll succeed. We've been observing the kid for several days now, and he's not impulsive, especially when it comes to Summoned Beast Cultivation. He's always been quite stable.

Since he came up with this plan, he must be confident," said Zhang Wentao, who had quite a bit of faith in Lu Wu.

Zhao Kai Ming chimed in, "Besides, he's not working outside but in the Cultivation Room; nothing should go wrong.

I personally procured the equipment in the Cultivation Room, and the pot he's using right now was crafted by me. You might distrust others, but don't you trust my craftsmanship?

I can assure you, no matter what this kid does, it's absolutely impossible for the pot to explode!"

Just as Zhao Kai Ming finished speaking,

there was an explosion from Lu Wu's Cultivation Room.

At the same time, a harsh alarm blared, and the news was immediately relayed to Zhang Wentao's office.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Wentao and Li Mingrui both glared at Zhao Kai Ming, then quickly moved to head toward Lu Wu's location.

This youngster was their trump card for next year, and they didn't want anything to happen to Lu Wu.

However, they had doubts that Lu Wu would be unscathed.

The information they got was that the energy of the explosion in Lu Wu's Cultivation Room had reached the level of an Elite 2 Stars.

With such power, Lu Wu's Ordinary 2 Stars Little Skeleton would almost certainly be a goner, and even Lu Wu himself could have been affected by the blast.

This weighed heavily on their minds.

They had finally found such a talent, and before they could properly work with him, he might have been wasted, and they wouldn't even be able to cry about it.

However, when they arrived at the scene and opened the door to Lu Wu's Cultivation Room, the three old men were somewhat stunned.

The situation inside was different from what they had expected.

There was no mess from an explosion in the Cultivation Room, and although there was some spilt soup at the edges of the pot, the overall room was quite clean, the pot hadn't burst, and Little Skeleton was still lying inside.

But at that moment, Little Skeleton seemed to be in a particularly bad mood, facing away from Lu Wuyi as if to say, "I don't want to deal with you."

"The pot didn't explode? I knew it; how could the pot I made explode so easily?

But if the pot didn't explode, what was that explosion just now?"

Next to him, Li Mingrui nudged Zhao Kai Ming, pointing at the charred spot above the pot.

At the same time, Lu Wu, touching his nose, stepped out and said, "That, the explosion was from Little Skeleton's Awakening of a Skill."

"Oh, so it was a Skill Awakening! That makes sense..."

Zhao Kai Ming was nodding off, halfway through his realization.

"It? A Skill Awakening??!!"
