Chapter 309: A True Warrior Advances Through Danger!
Qing Ming City.
In the ruins.
Shuffling noises could be heard from a certain secluded corner.
A cultivator gingerly walked over and tracked down the strange and mysterious noise. He finally saw what was in the ruins. A man and a woman were… creating cards!
Yes.
In the ruins.
Amid the chaos.
They were creating cards quietly. It was too shocking and terrifying!
This was even stranger than having sex in public?!
The cultivator took a closer look and discovered that it was Lu Ming and the lady with a schoolbag. He then remembered the rumors and left the place quietly.
It was better not to offend these two individuals.
At this very moment…
Lu Ming did not even look up.
It was extremely dangerous in the ruins now and he had to make some preparations.
“Xiao-Xiaojian, if you see any policemen or Spiritualists, you must alert me,” Lu Ming instructed.
“Understood.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was lounging on the wall, taking a breather.
“Xiaobai…”
Lu Ming turned to the little girl. “What card are you making?”
“Demolition Card.”
Xiaobai waved her hands. “I haven’t learned the four-star one. This is the most practical card at the moment.”
“Uh—”
Lu Ming touched her tiny head. “Way to go.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai drew seriously.
Demolition Cards and Energy Cards made up the majority of the cards in her school bag! She only had a handful of the high-level cards that Lu Ming gave her. She had made all the remaining ones!
Only Heaven knew how many cards she had made in the shop during this period…
Shush!
Shush!
The lines on Lu Ming’s Original Card became visible.
The lines inside of it were that of the elemental meteor that he stored during the assessment earlier!
This was a very interesting elemental ability. Since its lines could materialize, it could definitely be created. Judging from its current effects…
If he were to cast this thing at Xiao-Xiaojian, he would certainly improve with the elements!
His prowess would increase slightly again.
It was perfect!
After a long while…
Lu Ming succeeded in its creation and a four-star elemental meteor was out!
Lu Ming was disappointed that this meteor was not that different from the meteors at the assessment. The degree of improvement was average, especially when it came to Xiao-Xiaojian!
Improvement outcome: 10% increase in elemental prowess!
What was the use of this?
For Xiao-Xiaojian, there was none!
The improvement that Lu Ming wanted was an ordinary improvement without any percentage points, one that would provide the purest form of elemental damage to the enemy!
“Perhaps I can try integrating?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
Hence…
He created seven Meteor Cards and integrated them.
Buzz—
Lines transformed.
A Meteor Rain Card appeared.
It was a four-star limit card and comparable to a five-star card!
Lu Ming created the card excitedly and sensed its effects. Meteor Rain could drop various types of elemental meteors and result in a 10% percent improvement with various kinds of elements!
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Wait a minute.
Therefore…
The effect of one elemental meteor was to increase the prowess of a certain element by 10%, and the effect of elemental meteor rain was to increase the prowess of various different elements by 10%???
Damn!
What kind of rubbish card was this?!
Besides Spiritualists, who else would have a large number of elemental abilities?
Furthermore…
It was random!
Who the hell would know which meteor rain would appear?!
Lu Ming could not test it in this environment and could only gauge the general effect of this card. The eventual evaluation was that it was — a rubbish combat tool!
Improvement?
Crap!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Booming noises could be heard coming from afar.
Click!
Click!
The ruins that they were in were shaking.
“Master. Do we need to get out of here?”
Xiaobai blinked her eyes.
“No need.”
Lu Ming’s expression was calm. “We are too far from the center of the Restart Array. We will have to face many dangers along the way if we head there and will become targets. We might as well improve our abilities here.”
“Is that true?”
Xiaobai seemed to have understood a little.
She just felt that this place was very dangerous.
“Don’t worry.”
“The most dangerous place is always the safest.”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
Just as he finished his words…
Bang!
The ruins collapsed instantly.
“Damn!”
Lu Ming and Xiaobai were sent flying out immediately.
Beneath his feet…
The ruins had already collapsed.
It seemed that they had been destroyed by the surrounding tremors.
Lu Ming looked sullen.
“Cough, let’s change to another place.”
He and Xiaobai found another secluded ruin nearby and started creating cards in it. Although they could sense the tremors from afar, they were much safer this time.
“Don’t worry.”
“There won’t be a problem this time.”
Lu Ming said to Xiaobai, “Based on my experience… These people will definitely kill one another. We just have to hide here and drift along. We will definitely survive till the end…”
Lu Ming was full of confidence.
This was the knowledge that he had gotten from Comrade Li Ergou.
Yes!
The Spiritualist and the policemen were their opponents!
Why should he join in the fun?
He just had to increase his powers steadily!
“Okay,” Xiaobai agreed.
However…
She wrinkled her exquisite little nose.
She could sense that her master had been led astray by that person called Ergou…
Hum.
I heard that he’s going to become my junior brother?
When I return, I will definitely deal with him!
…
Hence…
The master-disciple pair remained in this obscure corner of the ruins and created cards amid the flames of war and booms outside. Despite the waves and tremors, the duo did not move away.
After a long while…
The ground trembled.
A large-scale war erupted.
Even where they stood, they could see the many beams of towering light pillars…
“The big shots are fighting one another.”
Lu Ming took a glance and then continued to create cards.
“Are you sure you’re not going to check it out?”
Xiao-Xiaojian could not endure any longer.
“Nope.”
Lu Ming’s attitude was firm.
What a joke!
He was merely a four-star, okay?
Why would he join in the fun with a group of big shot six-stars?
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
How could it have such a cowardly master?!
How could he become a powerful figure with such a mindset?!
Hence…
It was infuriated.
“Lu Ming! I know that, on the surface, your level is low and your combat ability is only beginner five-star. However, you have other means to fight!
“This place is dangerous but there are many fortuitous encounters in life-and-death situations!
“Fortuitous encounters, do you understand?!
“Those opportunities that these cultivators are crazy about and fighting for. If you can compete for them, you will be able to advance further!
“You have a hundred thousand points of energy. Although this seems powerful, do you know how difficult it is to improve this?
“This means that…
“At almost every stage, you have to work ten times harder than other people!
“So…
“You are unlikely to break through if you cultivate normally!
“This is the price to pay for being unparalleled among your peers!
“I heard that there are some items in the Treasure Pavilion that can improve your abilities and many people fighting and killing there. If we can attain some of those items, perhaps you will be able to break through to the intermediate four-star level! Our combat abilities can then be upgraded to another realm! The more you fight, the more powerful you will become. Understand?!
“If we keep fighting, perhaps we can get to five-star!
“If you continue to be a coward…
“How are you going to compete?!
“How are you going to advance?
“A true warrior advances through dangerous situations!”
Xiao-Xiaojian chided him in one breath.
Weren’t they merely fighting and murdering ?
What was there to be afraid of?!
“It sounds logical.”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. Surprisingly, he was not angry.
“Do you agree?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was elated.
“Of course.”
A faint smile emerged on his face. “Actually, I have been waiting for you to say this.”
“Huh?”
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly felt that something was amiss.
“In that case…”
Lu Ming patted Xiao-Xiaojian and said in a grave and serious tone, “I will delegate you with the arduous task of going to the Treasure Pavilion to attain items that can improve my abilities.”
“Ah?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
Delegate… to it?
What did this mean?
“You guys are not going?”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.
“As you mentioned…”
Lu Ming looked afar with a deep and profound gaze. “We can only maximize our strength when both of us work hard together. I will cultivate and create the cards while you look for the fortuitous encounters.”
“What about Xiao-Xiaobai?”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at Xiaobai’s Original Card.
“One of you has to remain behind to keep vigil.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Huh?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was super frantic. “It will be too dangerous if I go alone…”
“There won’t be a problem.”
Lu Ming encouraged, “If we continue hiding here, how are we going to compete with others?! How are we going to improve? A true warrior advances through dangerous situations!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent for a long time.
In the end…
The numerous things that it wanted to tell Lu Ming merely transformed into one word.
Damn!
…
At the Treasure Pavilion.
In the ruins.
This was initially an important place for the sect. However, it did not appear completely because the legacy resurrection was interrupted. Amid the destruction, it had collapsed and become part of the ruins.
Nevertheless, some of the items in the Treasure Pavilion were scattered in various places and this had resulted in countless people competing for them.
Somewhere.
A unique bottle of precious serum landed on the ground.
Unlike the expired herbs grown outdoors, these herbs had been made into serums and stored properly in the bottles. Everyone was fighting for them furiously.
“This is mine!”
“Crap! Does it respond to you when you call out to it?”
Two cultivators were flushing furiously.
However…
At this moment.
A streak of faint light flashed.
The duo suddenly felt that something was amiss. When they came to their senses, they then discovered that the bottle of precious herb serum had disappeared!!!
The most shocking thing was…
There was no one else nearby!
Shush!
Shush!
They released their auras to sense the surroundings but could not find anything.
“How did you hide it?”
“Bullshit! I should be asking you. Where did you secretly hide the herb serum?”
…
Somewhere.
Three to four people were engaged in a fight.
A bottle of serum was flying back and forth the hands of those people. The few of them fought furiously and competed for the item. However, at a particular moment when this bottle of serum was flung…
Shush!
The bottle of serum disappeared without any warning.
“It has been stolen!”
The sharp-eyed ones noticed a streak of faint light.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone was infuriated.
Enraged, they hunted the streak of faint light.
However, the faint light was extremely elusive. It traversed various cracks and corners of the ruins and, very soon, it shrugged them off and disappeared without a trace…
They could only give up.
…
Shush!
Shush!
Faint lights flashed.
Similar situations occurred in every corner of the ruins. While fighting, the items that the cultivators were fighting over would disappear and then there would be chaos in the ruins…
Right then.
Somewhere.
Lu Ming felt grateful as he looked at the heap of bottles of precious serums before his eyes.
“Not bad!”
Lu Ming felt very satisfied.
Look. Xiao-Xiaojian’s combat ability is still quite strong.
As an ancient sword spirit, its innate instincts are shocking. It even secretly learned how to deduce. How many people can catch it? Even if they did, it could just escape and return on its own.
It was just being lazy.
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
He did not seem to be the lazy one…
Bang!
Another wave of tremors could be felt.
Lu Ming looked to a distance.
Enraged, the cultivators had become more violent and irritable. They seemed to be joining forces to look for the real culprit.
In that case…
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Xiao-Xiaojian.”
Come here,” Lu Ming said quietly.
…
Among the ruins.
Infuriated, the cultivators joined forces.
There was no other choice.
All the items had disappeared!
In the absence of a conflict of interest, they had nothing to fight for. They wanted to find out who the real culprit was.
“I saw it. It’s over there!”
“Let’s go!”
Shush!
Shush!
Faint lights flashed.
The furious cultivators dashed towards that place. Although the faint light disappeared in a moment, they managed to discover traces of it.
Over there.
At the place where the faint lights had disappeared stood a cultivator.
A beginner six-star Spiritualist.
“It turns out that you guys are the one who meddled with us!”
“You’re courting death.”
“Is this what a Spiritualist does?”
The cultivators were enraged.
It seemed that…
This was the method that the Spiritualist used to retract the items.
That cultivator who was tasked to look for Lu Ming was confused. What nonsense were they referring to? However, he could not be bothered to waste his breath on them. He only said two words.
“Get lost!” he said coldly.
Afterward…
The cultivators exploded into a rage.
Bang!
Bang!
A huge battle ensued.
…
Somewhere.
A Spiritualist was looking for the divine weapon which belonged to him in the past. It was a divine rod that could increase his elemental prowess.
However…
Before he could find it, he noticed that some divine weapons were going missing for no apparent reason. There was a flash of faint light. He tailed it and discovered the people in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The…
Police!
He discovered the new pavilion master of Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Hence…
Another huge fight broke out.
…
Bang!
Bang!
Fights began to break out constantly.
The police wanted to annihilate everyone.
They saw the faint lights.
The Spiritualist wanted to eliminate everyone.
The faint light appeared at an opportune time.
If the cultivators wanted to look for the real culprit?
The faint lights continued to feed them with clues.
The cold and callous policemen and the ruthless Spiritualists did not even bother to communicate. They just wanted to slaughter these people!
They wanted to end it all.
Therefore…
The battle which was destined to occur was brought forward.
The entire ruins fell into chaos.
There were countless deaths and injuries!
…
The only exception was a particular corner.
Over there only quiet rustling.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Lu Ming gulped down a bottle of serum and finally began the tempering of his abilities… The hundred thousand points of energy in his body began to improve with the consumption of the millennium serums!
It was as if a ball of flames was burning.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Lu Ming did not stop for a moment.
He could sense that a warm force was circulating in his body, engulfing his hundred thousand points of energy and gradually integrating with them. Eventually, it warmed up all the powers within his body.
Afterward…
Riding on the surge of powers, he dashed.
Click!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
Lu Ming’s aura transformed suddenly.
Intermediate four-star!
Done!
To other cultivators, it was a trivial step to advance from the beginner four-star to intermediate four-star level. Nevertheless, for Lu Ming, this was a huge advancement!
This meant that…
His abilities had improved in all aspects!
His combat ability had improved beyond the beginner five-star level!
As for his ultimate combat ability…
Bang!
Lu Ming could sense the powerful forces circulating in his body. With this hundred thousand points of energy as the foundation, the feelings that accompanied his every advancement were unique and different.
Shush!
He looked afar.
The long-lasting battle had gradually stopped.
According to Xiao-Xiaojian’s observation, be it the police, Spiritualists or those cultivators, there were countless deaths and injuries.
Well…
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming got up and packed the stuff they had used for creating cards earlier.
“Yes,” Xiaobai replied.
Lu Ming said calmly. “We… should go home now.”
