The brain, you see, needs to be used a lot.
Only by using it a lot can it beco nimble.
If you leave it idle every day, it won't take long before you can't even speak clearly and can only stamr "ah ba ah ba."
Lu Wu's brain is still quite good.
After all, since he had traveled to this ti, he had been using it continuously, learning for more than ten hours a day with the zeal of "learn till I die or I'll die studying."
So, Lu Wu's mind remained quite nimble, this supple energy also gradually transitioned from studying to daily life.
At so point, Lu Wu had started to think far ahead in everything he did.
This was also true in the high school league.
From the mont he decided to bet with Jiang Beifeng, no, actually, from the first day and his three consecutive defeats, Lu Wu had already considered the possibility of the current situation.
He knew that after his three consecutive defeats, manipulation of points by others was a possibility.
But at that ti, there was no other option, as he was genuinely unable to win against those three teams.
Therefore, those three points, Lu Wu had to lose.
However, despite losing the three points, Lu Wu had already devised a way to handle point manipulation early on.
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Wu engaged in exploitation during the competition.
Thanks to Lu Wu's exploitation behaviors during the competition, most of the small teams in this tournant now had so connection with him.
This included the few teams in 018 that had not yet played.
Now, of the six teams in 018 that had not yet played, one was Lu Wu's own, and one was team 003; these need not be ntioned.
Both were settled, and these two points would definitely be lost for 018.
Later, if team 018 lost just one more match, their score would be on par with Lu Wu's, giving him a chance to enter the top four of Group A.
The remaining one point, Lu Wu decided to start with the other four teams.
Upon seeing team 002 concede defeat, Lu Wu imdiately contacted the captains of those three teams that hadn't yet played against 018 and gathered them in his resting room.
Discussing relevant matters with them.
Jiang Beifeng was always keeping an eye on every move Lu Wu made.
As soon as Lu Wu gathered them, Jiang Beifeng knew imdiately and guessed Lu Wu's plan.
"He is planning to use the power of those four teams to defeat you all!"
At this mont, Jiang Beifeng was in the 018 team's resting room, and upon hearing this, Zhou Kai, the captain of team 018, laughed, "He thinks too much; with those four replaceable teams, trying to take us down is utterly impossible!"
As a Seed Team, Zhou Kai had this confidence.
But Jiang Beifeng shook his head, "Don't be too sure, whether those four teams can take you down depends on the arrangent of your matches in the next two days.
Or rather, it depends on when you encounter teams 042 and 003. If you et these two teams in the second ga on the 18th and 19th, then no matter what Lu Wu does, he won't cause much trouble.
But if these two teams are grouped together, then you'll have a hard ti.
Then you'll have to fight tough battles all day, and there's indeed a chance that sothing could go wrong."
After saying this, Jiang Beifeng paused, lowering his head in thought for a mont before raising it again, "Well then, to be absolutely safe, I will make team 001 lose two more matches to bring their points level with Lu Wu's team.
It's a preparation for the worst!
Moreover, I'll make contact with those four teams."
Jiang Beifeng talked big about how this bet didn't 'stimulate' him and how 'a master feels lonely.'
It seed like he was looking forward to seeing Lu Wu bounce back.
But when he actually saw signs that Lu Wu might make a coback, he suppressed them with an all-out effort.
The intensity was so great that even team 018 thought Jiang Beifeng was being overly aggressive.
But Jiang Beifeng didn't care what team 018 thought.
For him, the action had to be carried out to perfection, absolutely leaving no chance for Lu Wu to turn the tables.
He imdiately contacted team 001 and, after Lu Wu had finished talking with the four captains, Jiang Beifeng went one by one to talk to the captains of those four teams.
It must be said, he was ruthlessly effective.
He intervened directly, telling the four teams that he wanted to sign them over to Jiangbei University.
Of course, at first, they were not willing.
They indicated they were as close as brothers to Lu Wuqing and could not betray Lu.
Jiang Beifeng expressed his understanding.
He appreciated their sentint and then offered more money.
Once again, it was proven that increasing the monetary incentive was an unglamorous yet effective thod.
Faced with such offers, three of the four teams thought their relationship with Lu wasn't that close after all and happily agreed to join Jiangbei University.
In the end, only team 038, which had already signed a guaranteed admission agreent with Jiangnan University and revered Lu imnsely, wasn't poached.
But with three out of the four teams gone, Lu Wu's prospects were severely undermined!
Jiang Beifeng wanted to see what Lu Wu could still stir up after pulling out his last hope.
Having taken care of all that, Jiang Beifeng returned to Room 001, holding his forehead, "Sigh, helpless, my head hurts, is there any excitent left in this big gamble?
Can't Lu Wu give any more surprises?"
What an act.
And no one could top that.
Over at Lu Wu's end.
Jiang Beifeng's sudden move disrupted Lu Wu's plans.
Originally Lu Wu and those four teams had agreed to go back to his house after the match to strategize how to take down Team 018, but after the match ended, only Team 038 arrived.
When Lu Wu saw only Team 038, and learned about Jiang Beifeng's deeds from them, his face looked very unpleasant.
Yet he said nothing, and quickly managed to regain his composure, allowing a smile to bloom on his face again.
Then Lu Wu led the sowhat restrained and bewildered Team 038 away from the field to his house.
On the 17th, Team 038 stayed overnight at Lu Wu's house.
Although it's unclear what happened that night, from the dark circles under the eyes of Lu Wu and Team 038 the next morning, it was evident that they had quite a night.
"It seems he hasn't given up yet, still struggling?
I've miscalculated a bit here, If I'd known his fighting spirit wasn't completely crushed, I would have sent a team to spy on him.
That way, I would be able to see his cards now."
Jiang Beifeng squinted at their dark circles.
Regretfully thinking, should he stir up so more trouble to suppress him further, or maybe get in touch with Team 003?
As this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Beifeng felt a twinge of guilt: "I've already done so much to undermine him, would pulling Team 003 into this be too heartless?
Should I show so rcy and leave them so hope and desires?"
Finally, with a slight pain in his conscience, Jiang Beifeng still pushed open the door of Team 003's lounge.
Well, clearly, in the face of 50,000 points, it didn't really matter to him whether or not he was being humane.
If possible, he still hoped to crush the hopes of Lu Wu with Team 003.
Showing rcy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Jiang Beifeng certainly did not want to end up paying out 50,000 points from his own pocket, so he wouldn't leave Lu Wu any hope.
But, unfortunately, he was not successful this ti.
Team 003 refused.
Jiang Beifeng thought it was the price, so he increased the offer.
Yet Team 003 indicated that it wasn't a matter of money; they just didn't respect Jiangbei University.
That left Jiang Beifeng with no choice but to leave dejectedly, rubbing his nose.
After turning down Jiang Beifeng and sending him away, Team 003 imdiately notified Lu Wu, pledging their loyalty.
It wasn't that Team 003 was particularly loyal to Lu Wu.
They had no real loyalty to him.
They just thought that Lu Wu was almost certainly out of the top eight, probably feeling explosive, and if they were to kick him while he was down, Lu Wu might very well turn his hatred towards them.
Then, all the little secrets of their Summoned Beasts would be exposed, which they did not want to see as they were still aiming for the championship, so they firmly took Lu Wu's side.
Not only standing with Lu Wu, but also flattering him, hoping to make him happy and see them as good people.
Although this was sowhat deaning, for the sake of the competition and the championship, being a little humble was not shaful.
On Lu Wu's end, after ending the call where Team 003 pledged loyalty, his expression was dark as the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but curse out loud: "That guy is really no good.
Looking all decent, but striking so viciously.
He pushes to this extent and still isn't satisfied, continuing on, utterly ruthless."
This was the first ti Lu Wu had encountered such a tenacious and vicious opponent.
Soone who, if given ten percent effort, would borrow ninety percent more to inflict a hundred percent damage, rcilessly leaving no chance for recovery, cornering Lu Wu completely.
And it wasn't just Jiang Beifeng who was vicious; God seed even more ruthless than Jiang Beifeng, not sparing any sympathy for this young Lu Wu.
On the 18th, in his first match of the day, Lu Wu faced Team 018.
The opposing team didn't even show their faces, directly choosing to concede.
And quickly, Team 018's second match arrived, this ti against Team 003.
Team 018 conceded again, achieving a back-to-back surrender.
And after Team 018's consecutive surrenders, their next match arrived quickly, and their opponent was none other than Team 038, who had stayed overnight at Lu Wu's house.
That is to say, Team 038 had to face an entirely unexhausted, full-strength Team 018.
Seeing this match information, Jiang Beifeng's lips curled up: "It looks like, our big gamble is about to be resolved today."
Simultaneously, in Team 038's lounge, Lu Wu also said to Team 038, "I'm counting on you for the upcoming match!"
