Chapter 236: Put Down Old Wang, Come at Me!
In Qing Ming City.
At the shop.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The Original Card was flying and dancing in Lu Ming’s hands.
After the color adjustment, the Original Card looked much more pleasing to the eye. The frame was in gradients of yellow and blue and a pink pig was in the middle of the card.
“This doesn’t seem too good?”
The Original Card felt strange.
The look of it...
“Do you want me to draw for you personally?”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
The Original Card shut up.
If it were to let Lu Ming draw, who the hell knew what art-piece he would come up with.
At the corner.
Xiao-Xiaobai hid further away.
That little pig tattoo... looked terrifying... It was so seasoned...
...
In the afternoon.
Lu Ming and Xiaobai were having a meal.
Suddenly...
A piece of shocking news interrupted.
“News report...
The college with the strongest combat power, The First Academy, has been attacked by a massive number of bulls. The walls of the college have collapsed. The bulls left afterward, their whereabouts unknown, forming the greatest mystery of the year...
Why did the bulls attack The First Academy?
Why did they leave that quickly after the attack?
Behind all of this... Is it the loss of moral ethics or the distortion of human nature? Are there any hidden secrets behind the departure of the bulls?
Please stay tuned for the eight o’clock blockbuster show of the year “The Eye of Observation”.”
...
Bulls?
Lu Ming was slightly stunned at this news.
This style...
Why did it resemble his so much?
He dared not cast cards such as Demolition Cards in the past because he was worried about encountering such problems. After all, he would definitely be the scapegoat if any problem were to occur!
But now...
There was really a problem!
If he had not been busy with flying these two days, he would really believe that he had demolished The First Academy when he was sleepwalking...
After all...
During the first two days that he was rejected by The First Academy, he did harbor thoughts in his dreams at night.
Cough.
Buzz—
Buzz—
His wristband communication device vibrated.
Lu Ming took a glance. It was actually the dean of The First Academy.
“Lu Ming?”
A familiar voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.
“Long time no see.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“It’s really not you?”
The dean sighed deeply.
Lu Ming fell silent for a moment. He sighed. “How did you link it to me?”
He took a glance at the news of The First Academy.
Seriously...
No matter how he looked at it, it did not have anything to do with him?
“When I see bulls now, I think of you...” the dean said in a gloomy voice.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn! Does this make any sense?!
He had been holed up at home and the calamity just dropped from the sky, okay!
“It’s really not me.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“I can tell.”
The dean nodded slightly. “Your tone now didn’t give me the feeling that you deserve a beating...”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
What kind of tone was it then?
“Anyway...
It’s good that you’re not the one.”
The dean was just posing him a casual question. He then shared a few words of concern perfunctorily. “Qing Ming City is not very safe. You have to pay more attention to safety.”
Bang.
He hung up right after that.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Was his reputation that bad now?
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming called his disciple over. “Am I a bad guy?”
“No.”
Xiaobai shook her head.
“Is my reputation very bad?”
Lu Ming found it odd.
“No.”
Xiaobai pondered seriously.
Master was very famous now. He had created a few card series and even helped the policemen solve a lot of problems. He was even secretly safeguarding this city...
Well...
His reputation was really very good.
“That’s good.”
Lu Ming felt gratified.
Look, this was everyone’s perception!
However...
Come to think of it...
“Even the dean knows that Qing Ming City is not very safe?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Although he merely mentioned this in passing, even a busy man like the dean who was located far away in Tian Du City knew that Qing Ming City was not very safe...
Was Qing Ming City’s situation very serious?
Oo...
Lu Ming was deep in thoughts.
After a long while...
Lu Ming looked up.
There was no point in thinking too much about Qing Ming City. It was better for him to improve his ability!
After tempering for four times, Lu Ming’s ability had improved tremendously. He had also progressed a lot due to dyeing the Original Card. Now, Lu Ming’s combat ability was extremely powerful!
If he were to attain a breakthrough to four-star now...
Lu Ming was certain.
At that time, he would have the actual ability to confront a five-star!
Breakthrough...
Lu Ming pondered deeply in his heart.
The breakthrough of energy was in fact very simple.
Transformation!
Increasing!
That was right then.
He was a true-blue three-star peak now. If he were to continue to temper, temper, temper and temper, he would certainly transform to four-star at some point in time!
However...
It might take a longer time.
Therefore, in normal circumstances, one would need some external powers to help him temper faster and break the bottleneck, such as...
The bed spirit of the ancient tomb.
It was a pity...
As the pink energy was too strange and mysterious, he had no choice but to temper the Original Card at that time...
Oh.
He would look for Jiang Feng to ask him.
Lu Ming recalled that Jiang Feng said that he would find a way to help him attain a breakthrough.
Hence...
He instinctively called Jiang Feng but the no one picked up the call.
Oh.
Lu Ming remembered. Due to the ‘refurbishment and reconstruction’ of the school, the school had been closed and today was coincidentally the day that the school reopened...
He would go and take a look.
...
At this very moment...
At a certain place in Qing Ming City.
A group of spirit body hunters was circling the place.
A dozen of spirit body hunters connected their detection equipment, forming a huge detection network that continuously searched for spirit bodies which could appear at any point in time...
“Perk up! Once you discover the spirit body, you have to take action immediately! We have already let two opportunities slip and can’t miss the next one!”
“Understood!” Everyone replied.
They came for the sake of catching a spirit body.
Suddenly...
On the screen, a bright dot was flickering.
Shush!
Everyone’s gaze turned to it.
This was...
Dee!
Dee!
“A spirit body is detected!”
“According to the detector, body power is four-star!”
...
“It has appeared!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
“It is only four-star...”
“It’s alright. It’s better for it to be a four-star. Quickly take it down. We’ve been here for a long time and need to attain some results.”
“Okay.”
Hence...
The group took swift actions.
...
At this very moment...
Lu Ming was rushing to the school. He was midway in the journey.
Wow—
A group of people suddenly appeared and rounded him up.
Lu Ming was confused.
“Who are you?”
Lu Ming cast them a strange look.
“...”
The other party was also dumbstruck. They glanced at and faced one another.
“He knows human language...”
“He doesn’t seem like a spirit body...”
“Could he be the type of spirit body pretending to be a human...” those people discussed softly.
There was a look of shock on Lu Ming’s face.
You’re the one pretending to be a human. Your whole family is pretending to be a human!
“You are...” someone finally spoke and asked, “Lu Ming?”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
“Lu Ming?!”
Some of them came to their senses. “That spirit body crazy demon?”
“It’s actually him?”
“Oh my goodness. I heard that any spirit bodies won’t survive more than three rounds in his clutches...”
“That Lu Ming who killed a six-star spirit body?”
Everyone was stunned.
The spirit body hunters were very familiar with Lu Ming, especially after hearing the story of Lu Ming destroying a five-star and a six-star spirit body at the college at the crossroad.
According to rumors...
He had something to do with the fall of the six-star python too.
He was extremely scary!
“But it’s strange. Why is it pointing at Lu Ming?”
“Did something go wrong?”
“Possible. Sigh, I’ve told you not to buy this online...”
“Perhaps there is a deviation in the navigator.”
“Quickly go and find!”
The few of them glanced at one another and left in a hurry.
The spirit body might appear at any point in time and they did not want to waste their time with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was silent.
He suddenly had an urge to kill...
Seriously...
It was ridiculous. A group of people came and humiliated him before leaving unknowingly. They were too much!
Damn!
If it was not because he could not beat them, he would really...
Lu Ming glanced at the backs of those people leaving. There were two five-star cultivators...
Forget it, forget it.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
This was strange.
Why did those guys suddenly look for him?
Lu Ming was filled with suspicions.
However...
Within a short time frame of five minutes, another group of people came and rounded Lu Ming up.
“Dee—”
“Dee—”
Lu Ming had seen it clearly this time.
A certain thing was glowing in their hands and pointing at Lu Ming.
“Hand over the spirit body!”
That group of people wore serious expressions.
The five-star cultivator leading the team simply locked onto Lu Ming!
“What spirit body?”
Lu Ming was a little puzzled.
Wait a minute.
These guys were spirit body hunters...
Spirit body...
After contemplating, he took out the Original Card from his card bag. “Are you referring to this?”
The other party was instantly stunned.
The spirit body.... had escaped from the card spirit.... What was this?
However...
This action of Lu Ming caused the detection machine to flashed rampantly. Energy surged and pointed at the Original Card in Lu Ming’s hands, reflecting the level of the spirit body — Four-star!
“It’s really this.”
Lu Ming’s head was aching.
Oh.
The Original Card had been mistaken for a spirit body again...
He had encountered the same thing in the building that the python appeared. However, at that time, Lu Ming could put away the Original Card. But now...
If he were to put it away, the Original Card would revert to its original state!
The little Peppa Pig that he had painstaking ‘tattooed’ would be gone!
The additional properties would also be gone!
He would have to start afresh again!
“This is the spirit body?”
Those people wore wary gazes.
“No.”
Lu Ming was helpless. “This is my Original Card. A card spirit is born, understand? Do you know about sword spirit? It’s a similar situation. It’s useless even if you take this away...”
“Sword spirit...”
Those people furrowed their brows.
It turned out to be something similar to a sword spirit!
“What should we do?”
“According to rumors, we can take the sword spirit away but only after the person is dead...” one of them said.
Shush!
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
The gazes in those people’s eyes began to turn strange. If they were to kill him and take the spirit body... Oh, it seemed plausible too?
They assessed Lu Ming’s ability. It was three-star peak!
Shush!
Someone had already sealed the network.
Buzz—
The wristband vibrated.
Lu Ming took a glance. The mobile signal was gone.
“Why bother?”
Lu Ming sighed.
“It’s not as comfortable to catch spirit bodies in the legacy site and dangerous places than to catch it directly...”
After all...
“Humans are easier to trick than creatures,” the leader said.
“This is the city.”
Lu Ming glanced outside.
If they were to moved forward a little, they would be in the surveillance area.
It was a pity...
There was no surveillance here.
“Don’t worry.”
That person smiled. “We also have experience hiding from surveillance cameras.
Lu Ming was speechless.
It seemed as if... there would be some trouble.
He assessed the other party’s ability. There were two five-star beginner cultivators, four four-star peak cultivators. Such a team was extremely powerful!
If he were to engage in a fight...
Lu Ming analyzed. He was really not confident about winning.
After all...
After Lunar Shadow legacy, he had always been at three-star peak.
However...
He killed a group of four-star beginner cultivators in seconds before. His Original Card had improved constantly over time and he reckoned that he could already kill four-star peak in seconds. However, the greatest problem was those two five-star cultivators!
Five-star represented another concept.
Although he had come into contact with five-star a few times, he had not really fought them head-on.
But now...
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Shush!
That group of people was closing in gradually.
“Actually...”
Lu Ming paused for a moment. “My name is Lu Ming.”
He was very sincere and honest.
In Qing Ming City now, he believed his name would cause some impact.
True enough.
When Lu Ming spoke, the hearts of the people opposite him trembled and they glanced at one another warily. They finally remembered Lu Ming’s legend and they surrounded him in a more serious manner.
Lu Ming felt very helpless. “You guys have not heard of me?”
“We have.”
“You’re the younger brother of that legendary Younger Brother Demon Protector.”
Someone sneered coldly. “Don’t worry. We’ll leave after killing you. Your sister won’t be able to find us.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
He suddenly had the urge to kill someone.
What was this crap!
So, this was what you understood?!
Forget it.
Lu Ming’s head ached. It seemed that revealing his identity did not work...
At this very moment...
Buzz—
One of their team members struck and covered the place with a strange, mysterious and transparent energy.
Shush!
All the aura was sealed.
Not the slightest bit of their aura was leaked from this place.
They... actually intended to murder him and rob the card!
The leader’s aura emerged first. True enough, he was a five-star cultivator!
Furthermore, they seemed to know that Lu Ming had extraordinary abilities and they did not let down their guard. Instead, they were very vigilant as they rounded up Lu Ming cautiously...
Lu Ming sighed.
These people did not know that although his combat ability was average, he was very strong in turning the tables around!
Certainly, he could not beat this team in a fight but this was the city, why did he need to fight? Do you really think that this thing can stop me?
Hahahaha...
Lu Ming took out a pile of cards.
N number of Demolition Cards and N number of Burial Mound Cards...
This were the cards that he and Xiaobai usually prepared in their card bags. Although their combat abilities were not powerful, they had amazing effects on many occasions.
For example—
When they were in the city.
“Come on!”
Lu Ming was prepared to make a move.
That five-star cultivator led the team and dashed towards him.
However...
At this moment.
At that instant, an idea flashed across Lu Ming’s mind. Looking at the empty-handed five-star cultivator, he was slightly shocked. “Hmm... May I ask. What is your vocation?”
The five-star cultivator was expressionless.
This was the first time that he saw someone that chatty during a fight.
Villains die because they talk too much, do you know that?
“Let’s go!” he ordered coldly and was prepared to strike.
However...
Lu Ming had already noticed some clues on him.
“You’re actually an Energy Warrior?”
Lu Ming looked at him in surprise. His gaze then landed on the other five-star cultivator. He felt even more elated. “Wow, you’re also an Energy Warrior?!”
Yes.
Although this team was very powerful, the two most powerful five-star cultivators were actually Energy Warriors...
Very pure types.
Everyone looked dumbstruck.
What did it mean?
They were about to kill. What is with that expression of yours?
Also...
So what if we are Energy Warriors?
Damn!
Do you look down on Energy Warriors that much?!
Amongst the free cultivators, most were Energy Warriors and Elementalists, what was so strange about that? You actually look down on us...
“Kill him!”
That person was enraged and he struck immediately.
However...
At this moment, Lu Ming quietly fished out a card from his card bag and prepared the Energy Card... He then threw it at one of the five-star big shots!
Swoosh!
Azure lights flashed.
“Ludicrous! This is the trump card that your sister left for you? Forget it. I’ll let you witness what is a true five-star!”
One of the five-star cultivators sneered coldly.
Although he had just attained five-star beginner level, he had already gained some fame at this stage. This was because of the ability that he was proud of — Shadowless Kick!
Shadowless and invisible!
It was akin to lightning!
Shush!
His right leg was shining. Horrifying energy condensed. At a lightning speed, it transformed into an afterimage and dashed to Lu Ming in an instant. Afterward...
Bam!
There was a stumble.
He knelt down in front of Lu Ming.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening?!
That five-star cultivator looked at his missing right leg in fear and trepidation. “Leg... where’s my leg?!”
Right then...
He actually could not feel his vocation core!
How could this be possible?!
Due to body tempering, the vocation cores of Energy Warriors were the most stable. This was because the vocation core was a part of their body and very powerful. It was unequaled!
Why would it disappear?!
Damn.
Was this the thing that Lu Yan had left behind?
Lu Yan...
Of course, they had heard of her before. Although that lady was a young genius, she was only one level above them. How could she possess such items?!
Even if Lu Yan were to attack in person, it was quite unlikely for her to kill them in seconds?
This was a trump card that she conveniently left behind and it could already kill them in seconds?
This...
How could this be possible?!
They were completely dumbfounded.
“Old Wang.”
The other five-star cultivator was terrified.
The few of them did not know what happened but they could see one of Old Wang’s legs being amputated on the spot. They instantly thought of the legendary six-star Sword Aura...
“I’ll do it!”
That five-star cultivator struck.
The two of them had formed a team. Naturally, they had comparable powers.
Old Wang was adept at attacking.
And his forte was defending!
Sword Aura and all that...
Bang!
Right then...
His skull was shining.
Bang!
He hollered furiously, “Leave Old Wang alone. Come at me!”
“Bring it on! Let me see if your six-star Sword Aura can break my iron steel head...”
Bang!
He dashed at Lu Ming.
At this very moment.
The person kneeling before Lu Ming was trembling all over.
Staring at his missing right leg, he suddenly had a terrifying guess. It was fearful that Lu Ming’s trump card was not Sword Aura but...
Could it be that...
Oh no!
He was terrified as he looked at his teammate. “Old Zhang, quickly, run!!!”
However...
It was already too late.
That five-star cultivator called ‘Old Zhang’ had already attacked. How could he stop?
Shush!
Almost simultaneously.
He had already dashed to the front of Lu Ming. Afterward...
Bang!
A headless body fell to the ground with a loud thud. Similar to that five-star cultivator who broke his leg, he was also lying in front of Lu Ming.
It was neat and tidy.
...
