The pink radiance engulfed the entire place.
When Lu Ming came to his senses, the pink radiance had already shrouded the entire association!
Oh.
Crap!
It turned out that the new card’s scope of coverage had widened…
Lu Ming was expressionless.
At this moment, under the shine of the pink lights, the entire Sword Card Master Association was filled with a strange and mysterious atmosphere. It looked like an unspeakable scene of a particular street.
“What the hell is this Scene Card?!”
Lu Ming lamented listlessly.
“Xiaobai?”
Lu Ming looked at the door.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai walked into the room gingerly.
“Tell Li Haoran to inform the disciples not to worry. Just say that I’m testing a card,” Lu Ming instructed.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai made the arrangements obediently.
At this very moment…
Lu Ming glanced at the data on the testing device.
The data for the Scene Card was alternating between 10%, 20% and 30%. It eventually became mojibake and numbers that he had never seen before.
What was happening?
Lu Ming scratched his head.
He could not really figure out these data.
Shouldn’t the element card have an improvement effect? The increase should be more than the original quantum of 10%!
Oo…
What was the effect?
Lu Ming tried testing from various angles but to no avail.
“What does this card resemble?”
Lu Ming glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian.
“Uh.”
A thought flashed across Xiao-Xiaojian’s mind. “The ambient light in a hair salon?”
Lu Ming turned sullen. Damn it. You’re a really mischievous thing!
“Didn’t you sense anything else?”
Lu Ming asked unhappily.
“No,” Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
Lu Ming sighed.
After a long while…
The pink hues receded.
He could only give up. This seemed like another card with an unknown effect…
That was what Lu Ming thought.
However…
Just as he stepped out of his room and reached the square in front of the association, he was shocked to discover a huge group of big shots of various ages…
Li Haoran was with them.
Lu Ming was shocked.
What the hell is happening?!
Are these business opportunities?
Wait a minute.
Hey! Although our association was shrouded in pink earlier, it did not mean that we are conducting that kind of business! Furthermore, that elder is already old. Don’t come here to join the fun, okay?!
“Master.”
Li Haoran heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Ming coming out.
“What is happening?” Lu Ming asked.
“Let me speak.”
That silver-haired elder was the first to step forward. His gaze was cold. “Hello, Lu Ming. Let me introduce myself. I am the vice president of the Wind Elementalist Association headquarters.”
Thump!
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
“Vice president?!
Of course.
This was not the main point. Most importantly, this was the Wind Elementalist Association! Damn it! And it was the headquarters! This was a powerful and domineering force. They were much stronger than that salted fish branch president of the Tian Du City who had come a few days ago!
“Hello!”
Lu Ming wore an austere expression. He instinctively looked behind the elder.
“Hello, I’m the head of the testing department of the Wind Elementalist Association…”
“Hello, I’m the head of the research department of the Wind Elementalist Association…”
“Hello, I’m the head of the…”
The few of them said calmly.
There were a total of five of them.
Each of them had terrifying powers!
Lu Ming felt somewhat frantic upon hearing their identities…
Oh.
Crap!
All of them were from the headquarters of the Wind Elementalist Association!
At this moment, Lu Ming’s scalp felt numb.
It was true. In this cultivation world where powerful figures ruled, all those people who came from ‘xx headquarters’ had terrifying abilities!
Of course, besides the Sword Card Master Association…
→_→
“Hello, seniors,” Lu Ming greeted them.
This was a form of basic respect toward powerful figures.
Wind Elementalists Association…
They were considered an old acquaintance.
They came knocking at his door just at this moment. Why? It was obvious…
At the thought of this, Lu Ming took a deep breath.
He was somewhat surprised. He did not expect the dignified Wind Elementalist Association to be that petty. They actually sought help from their headquarters. Wasn’t this akin to complaining to parents or teachers?
Furthermore…
Are you the only one who can complain to the parents or teachers?
I can do that too!
“Slay them! Slay them!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was excited.
These people were Elementalists!
Although they were seven-stars, they were still Elementalists!
They had weak bodies!
If they could attack them at a close distance, perhaps they could penetrate them with a sword each…
Lu Ming would sometimes hum a very bloody song with the lyrics ‘String your heart and my heart together, string a lucky grass and a circle.’ [1. Lyrics of ‘Love’, a song by Little Tigers, a famous Taiwanese boy band in the 1980s and 1990s.] It had always felt difficult to kill people in that manner but perhaps the situation right before them was a good chance!
Lu Ming was speechless.
What the crap!
Why are you always keen to fight?!
Damn it! This is the city center of Tian Du City!!!
“Why do you guys beat Zhang Yang up everyday then?”
Xiao-Xiaojian sounded bold and righteous.
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Beating someone up and killing someone were different things!
Everyone was a cultivator. Of course, the police could not be bothered if there were fights and beatings every once in a while. However, it was different for killings. Killing was a huge crime!
They were seven-stars and not salted fishes!
He could not even beat Yan Suya, much less a group of big shots?! Lu Ming felt that he could hang himself on a tree if he were to listen to Xiao-Xiaojian.
Battle…
Lu Ming swept his glance across. It was not a solution!
Even the entire Sword Card Master Association could not contend with those few big shots!
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Lu Ming quietly notified a few of his old acquaintances…
Right now.
Lu Ming decided to calm down and figure out the reason for their visit.
“Seniors, the purpose of your visit…”
Lu Ming asked cautiously.
“A few disciples saw a pink glow emitting from this place just now,” the vice president said.
Eh?
Lu Ming’s eyes widened. The big shots came there because of this?!
Instinctively.
He scanned his gaze across the thin and frail bodies of the few elders…
These big shots had such a hobby and they could not resist the urge to enter a pink street to try something new?!
However…
After pondering deeply, Lu Ming rejected this idea immediately.
What a joke! How old are these elders? They can’t possibly enter as soon as they see a pink street. Their bodies won’t be able to take it…
Besides…
The association would not come as a group for the pink street…
“Perhaps they have special talents?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was contemptuous.
“Shut up!”
Lu Ming chided him by transmitting his thoughts.
He was certain that the big shots would not be that senseless. In that case, there was only one possibility — There was a problem with the pink glow!
“What has happened?”
Lu Ming was very nervous.
He did not attain any test results from the pink glow.
Logically, he tested this in his bedroom. Even if the geographical scope was widened, it was within the association! This was also why he could not understand the purpose of the big shots’ visit!
“What do you think?”
The vice president sneered. “Our Wind Elementalist Association sent a few disciples here to apologize to you. To our surprise, we were engulfed by the pink glow before we even reached the Sword Card Master Association. We instinctively defended but failed to do so. The elements collapsed and we did not manage to cast any elemental ability.
“So…
“I would like to ask you.
“What is the meaning of this?!
“Why did you attack our disciples who came here to apologize!
“Also…”
The vice president of the Wind Elementalist Association squinted his eyes. “What exactly is that card?!”
Ah?
Lu Ming’s heart trembled and he finally understood what had happened.
First, there was definitely a problem with that pink glow!
Second, the attack and apologies were all fake! These Wind Elementalist Association big shots came for that card!
That was right!
It was for a card!
At this moment, the Elementalist big shots wore austere expressions.
It was very grave!
He could not blame them for coming at such a bad timing. This was because Lu Ming had past incidents!
The Leviathan Card!
The Stealing Card!
Although the Stealing Card matter had already been resolved, many Energy Warriors had been terrified. The Energy Warriors Association even opened the Illusory Realm for Lu Ming at no costs in order to buy the Stealing Card from him. Lu Ming went to that place only once and almost tore it down…
Therefore…
They came immediately.
The disciples reported that ‘It seems to have five-star prowess…”, ‘A pink glow engulfed the entire association…’, ‘Our abilities can’t be cast when we come into contact with the pink glow…’ and so on. Do you know what that means?
This was a Scene Card that covered a very wide area!
The effect was terrifying!
It was demonic!
This was a terrifying ability that only a seven-star could possess!
The few disciples sent to the Sword Card Master Association were all six-stars!
They were dignified six-stars!
Yet, they would not cast any elemental ability amid the pink glow? What did this mean? A five-star card could restrict six-star abilities!
Who would not feel terrified at the thought of this?
Besides…
Judging from Lu Ming’s past productions, if this card was to advance…
Ss——
The Elementalist big shots felt chills down their spine at the thought of this. They were well aware of the severity of the situation!
Coupled with what happened earlier between the Sword Card Master Association and the Wind Elementalist Association, the latter had a reason to believe that — After the branch president of Tian Du City offended Lu Ming, Lu Ming was furious and intended to create a certain Scene Card to target the Wind Elementalists and make them disappear from the face of the earth!
This was a very ridiculous thought.
However…
Their disciples had witnessed it!
Lu Ming had created such a card!
Furthermore, similar to the Stealing Card, this card could truly shake the entire vocation!
Think about it.
If such a card that could restrain Wind Elementalist Association were to exist, anyone could easily purchase this card and then defeat Wind Elementalists…
Who would dare to join the Wind Elementalist Association in the future?!
The combat ability of these Wind Elementalists would also weaken significantly!
It was to the extent that…
The Wind Elementalists would disappear from history henceforth!
Therefore…
Therefore, the big shots rushed there as soon as they heard the news. Look at the two stains on the long pants of the chief of operations. That was the first time that he did not dribble fully after a trip to the loo…
Why?
He was pressed for time!
The situation was very serious.
It was best if they could resolve this. Otherwise…
If it was necessary…
There was a cold glint in the eyes of the vice president.
Although the president had instructed them many times not to kill anyone, if they were to lose control of the situation, this was the only solution!
He had a way to hide this from the police!
Snort!
Lu Ming was merely a…
Suddenly…
He sensed a chill on his body. He instinctively looked up and saw a bare-footed, twelve-year-old girl sitting not far away and staring at him.
This lady…
The vice president shook his head. He then felt that gush of coldness disappearing.
This was strange…
Was it an illusion?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a bright and loud voice could be heard.
“Yo.
“I heard that there is a pink street here?”
Eh?
The few people from the Wind Elementalist Association lifted their heads and looked at the person who suddenly appeared. Their faces instantly dimmed. This was because the person was the branch president of the Energy Warrior Association of Tian Du City.
“What are you doing here?”
The few big shots narrowed their eyes.
“I’m here for a good show, for a good show.”
The branch president of the Energy Warrior Association said with a smile, “I heard that the Elementalist Association enjoyed the show of the Stealing Card last time. I am here to join in the fun.”
Everyone from the Wind Elementalist Association was speechless.
That was pertaining to the Elementalist Association. What did it have to do with the Wind Elementalist Association?!
They were furious.
Clang!
There was a loud shriek outside the door.
A Summoner riding on a flying Leviathan landed from the sky.
“Yo.
“I heard that there is a pink street here?”
Everyone from the Wind Elementalist Association was speechless.
However…
This was only the beginning.
In the subsequent 10 seconds, a fully-armed police team came. They kicked open the main door and dashed in.
“Yo.
“I heard that there is a pink street here?”
The policemen looked as if they were executing a crack down operation on pornography.
Afterward…
Their gazes landed on the people from the Wind Elementalist Association. “Are you guys the one prostituting people?”
Everyone from the Wind Elementalist Association was speechless.
What kind of people are in Tian Du City?!
At this very moment…
This silver-haired vice president finally understood why his president instructed them not to commit any wrongdoing… Who would dare to do so in such a situation?!
Lu Ming…
“Seniors, why did you guys come here?”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Hehe.”
“Isn’t there a pink street here?”
“Hello.”
“I think that maintaining curiosity about Pink Streets is a man’s most basic form of dignity,” the branch president of the Energy Warrior Association said.
The rest of the people were deeply convinced.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What the senior said made sense and he could not rebuke him.
Buzz—
The wristband vibrated.
Two messages ‘I’ve already sent someone over — dean’ and ‘I’ve already sent someone over — chief of operations’ appeared simultaneously in Lu Ming’s device.
Lu Ming felt grateful.
He merely tried to message a few big shots to request for help. Unexpectedly, the two seniors sent someone over. It seemed that he had quite good interpersonal relationship skills.
It seemed that…
The few people in front of them were sent there by the seniors.
“Why are you guys here in the middle of the night?” the team leader of the policemen asked curiously.
Of course.
As a precautionary measure, they were doing a live broadcast on the entire process and aiming their camera at the few seven-star big shots of the Wind Elementalist Association. “Are you here for prostitution?”
What the crap!
The big shots of the associations were furious.
Damn it! Who would come here for prostitution in the middle of the night!
It was a pity…
They really didn’t dare to mess around with a live broadcast.
“It’s like this…”
The few people from the Wind Elementalist Association said, “We are just here to find out more about the card created by our little friend. We came here specially to admire it.”
Oh.
Everyone finally knew what was going on.
It was no wonder that they rushed here in the middle of the night…
Tsk.
“You are only here for admiration and not to silence someone?” the branch president of the Energy Warrior Association said smilingly.
“How is that possible?!”
The vice president of the Wind Elementalist Association turned pale, “Are we those kinds of people?! Don’t tell me that you guys thought of silencing Lu Ming when Lu he created the Stealing Card?”
“Yes, we thought that,” the branch president of the Energy Warrior Association said boldly and righteously.
Everyone was speechless.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it. Can you stop being that honest?!
Shush!
The policemen glanced at him simultaneously and the branch president of the Energy Warrior Association puffed his chest. “Why? Should I let you guys lean on my chest?
“You should judge a person from his actions and not thoughts, okay?!
“It’s time for you guys to control this group of people from the Wind Elementalist Association. They have already come knocking on the door.”
Shush!
The policemen glanced at the Wind Elementalists simultaneously.
“It’s true. We simply wanted to admire it,” the Wind Elementalist big shots said softly.
In fact, they were not afraid. However, they were very sure what the appearance of these few people meant. Therefore, they could only surrender and be abiding.
“Do you want to let them take a look at it?”
The policemen looked at Lu Ming.
“I don’t want them to,” Lu Ming declined firmly.
He was not the slightest bit afraid as he had backers now.
Who cares about whether you are worried or not? I’m just testing a card!
The Wind Elementalists fell silent for a moment.
Obviously…
They did not expect the situation to develop to this extent!
That card!
They had to see it!
Even if they could not get their hands on it, they had to know its effect and then crack it!
Otherwise…
They would not have a chance anymore after being chased away!
Hence…
The vice president could only contact his president again.
“Leave it to me.”
The president sighed.
That bunch of good-for-nothings…
He knew that it would turn out like this!
He had already contacted someone. He heard that during the situation of the Stealing Card, an Elementalist had helped Lu Ming in Qing Ming City before and was on quite good terms with Lu Ming?
…
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
A certain Elementalist was soaring in the sky smugly.
Hehe.
There is also a time when you need to plead with me!
He felt great.
Well….
That Qiu girl was always loafing around and treated Lu Ming and Lu Yan well. It seemed that this was quite useful. Most likely, they would listen to her.
However…
The situation might be somewhat troublesome.
Since Lu Ming planned to annihilate the Wind Elementalist Association, there must be a deep feud between them!
Perhaps…
Lu Ming might not listen to him.
Unless…
Lu Yan was to take action!
However, he heard that Lu Yan was in seclusion now, preparing to attain seven-star. She went to a legacy site and he was not sure of her current status…
Hence…
He went to the so-called legacy site.
Over there.
A round plate stood in a certain spot.
Countless gazes were on the round plate, staring at the beams of lights on it.
This was the legacy training site!
Inside it.
Countless disciples were inside.
The big shots could only wait there for the outcome!
Right then.
Everyone’s gaze landed on a lady in the middle of the plate. Clad in a simple and baggy training suit, she vanquished the entire legacy site!
That was Lu Yan!
She vanquished the legacy site and no one could stop her!
Those peak six-star fearsome beasts were akin to papier-mâché. That faint blue sword struck fear and reverence in the hearts of countless people!
What a Lu Yan!
What a Swordsman!
“It seems that Qiu Shuyi has put in a lot of effort.”
“I have underestimated her.”
“Although she doesn’t care about other things, she is very focused on this disciple,” the big shots said.
Even a big shot who had some opinions of Qiu Shuyi nodded slightly. “She’s a qualified master now.”
At this very moment…
The certain Elementalist who had just rushed here felt very proud. Qiu Shuyi had finally grown up. As her uncle, he could also bask in her glory!
He had not wasted his efforts nagging at her every time he went home.
This child…
She has finally become sensible.
However…
After a few minutes…
They suddenly saw Lu Yan giving up the legacy mission and running to a strange place. She then killed some fearsome beasts and gathered some messy items which were out of the assessment content. She then put together these items.
Well….
Bang!
A light pillar erupted in the legacy site.
Afterward…
They then saw Lu Yan looking at the signal bar on her communication device with a satisfied look on her face.
The big shots were shocked.
Damn it! What kind of amazing feat was this?!
Lu Yan…
She had done all that for so long just to enable the signal on her communication device?
What was her objective?
The big shots glanced at one another.
Afterward, a big shot suddenly furrowed her brows tightly and thought of something. “I remember that Qiu Shuyi loved watching dramas online…”
Shush!
There was total silence.
The big shots looked livid.
The expression of a certain Elementalist froze.
Therefore…
Each time, Lu Yan, the dignified unrivaled genius, stepped into a legacy site, she had to set up a base station for Qiu Shuyi to watch her dramas?!
After a long while…
A furious voice broke through the sky.
“Qiu Shuyi!!!”
