Chapter 134: Would Be Beaten To Death Sooner Or Later!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Somewhere.
There was a gentle sea breeze.
An old building, located by the sea.
If one looked up from this point of view, one could vaguely see a continuous mountain range, and above the mountains, several tall and majestic mountain peaks!
This was the legacy site!
This was the restricted area of this island!
After countless years of evolution, this had become someone else’s territory.
At this very moment...
Under the sun.
Several cultivators looked at the illusory scene floating in the air. The legacy site was too unreal from afar. The scene in front of them was the same as what they saw in the distance—
This was the microcosm of the legacy site!
“Did the Observer go in?”
“Yes, they were in the assessment. No one has noticed them.
“Very good.”
The leader nodded slightly.
The Observer would provide them with a microcosm of the legacy site.
While those people were going through the trials in the forest, the Observer had completed his task by leaving the observing ability in every node.
That was why they could observe it from here.
Shush!
He stretched his hand to touch the sixth mountain.
The virtual image in front of him zoomed-in automatically with his hand gestures, adjusting and switching to various angles, providing them with the best observation angle.
It was a pity that they could not hear anything.
However, it was enough for them to see some virtually deduced images. They were still waiting for the moment when the legacy was activated.
However...
Right now, their biggest problem was—
Lu Ming!
They had prepared the corresponding solution to deal with everyone in the legacy. But Lu Ming was the only one that they could not understand!
Was he strong?
He was merely a two-star Card Creator...
But a Swordsman ended up vomiting blood in the legacy.
Was he weak?
Look at the microcosm in front of them, the seven mountains should be majestic, but it was only left with five mountains...
The fourth mountain had collapsed.
The sixth mountain had chickened out.
Had anyone seen any mountain with a cognitive spirit that would admit that it was timid?
They had seen for themselves that the gigantic boulder man that was formed from the sixth mountain cowering out of fear. It had thwarted their plan...
“How powerful is the gigantic boulder man?”
“I can’t deduce. I suppose it is at the six-star peak.”
“Let Elder Xu take a shot.”
“Okay.”
They had concluded their meeting.
“What about Lu Ming?” Someone asked.
Shush!
Everyone turned silent.
Lu Ming...
How should they deal with this guy?
It was not a problem to kill him. The main point was that what if this guy demolished the mountain again? From what they understood, Lu Ming must have mastered a certain special Card Creator legacy...
This was very dangerous.
They had no idea where the Lunar Shadow legacy was!
If...
If Lu Ming managed to pass the seventh mountain and he accidentally destroyed the legacy?
It was too dangerous!
“Since they are not competing for the legacy, why don’t they leave?”
Someone was doubtful.
“Perhaps for the sake of the seventh mountain.”
One of them shook his head. “After all, if they pass a few more assessments, they will have more rewards. Apparently, Lu Yan and her brother stay behind for the rewards.”
“Can we get them to leave earlier?”
“Make some trouble or something.”
Someone made a suggestion. “Let’s get the Observer to come up with something to force them to leave. The best way is to leave the legacy directly and we won’t have to worry.”
Bam!
The old man next to him gave him a slap.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“How can you let them leave now?”
“Why are you so scared of a two-star Lu Ming?!” The old man roared.
“Uh—”
The person had a bitter smile. “The situation is special...”
Lu Ming was a two-star.
But he was not a two-star over here!
The Lunar Shadow legacy had been through many decades and the mountain structure was unstable. Under such circumstances, Lu Ming’s demolition would be a powerful weapon!
Who dared to mess with him?!
In this case, wasn’t it better to send the two of them away?!
Furthermore...
There were seven Lunar Shadow Cards, if only two of them survived...
Wasn’t it more interesting?
Someone would be the scapegoat!
It was a pity...
No one took his words seriously.
“I can get Zhang Erliang to give it a try,” someone suggested.
“Zhang Erliang?”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
They needed to use a special method to deal with special people!
Zhang Erliang, Architect, a four-star cultivator. His ability was to stabilize structures. All his abilities revolved around stabilizing structures!
He had received significant rewards for his aid rendered in several earthquake relief operations!
If he strengthened the structure...
He would be able to stabilize the tremors!
As for the demolition?
There was no need to worry about it.
“It’s feasible!”
Everyone was satisfied.
The cultivator who suggested to send Lu Ming away paused slightly, remaining silent. No matter how he looked at it, other suggestions were better than his.
It was just that...
Would this really be okay?
...
The sixth mountain.
Lu Ming who was chatting with the gigantic boulder man did not expect that he would be targeted as the final BOSS to be dealt with by the people who were behind all of this.
At this moment...
He was duping the gigantic boulder man into leaving with him.
He did not know what schemes those people would be up to, but without a doubt, the powerful gigantic boulder man was a good fighter.
“I can’t leave the legacy.”
The gigantic boulder man scratched its head.
Bang!
Bang!
Large blocks of boulders came crashing down.
It was indeed the incarnation of the sixth mountain. Its dandruff was different from others.
“Can you become smaller?”
Lu Ming sighed.
It was tiring to chat in this manner. He was worried that he would be smashed by dandruff.
Thankfully the gigantic boulder man was genderless. If it was a man, he would have to worry about a skyscraper swinging like a big pendulum in front of him...
It was scary just to think of it.
“Yes.”
The gigantic boulder man gave an honest nod.
Buzz—
His size was reduced dramatically to become a normal human size.
“Why didn’t you transform earlier?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
“I was worried that you would demolish me.”
The gigantic boulder man looked aggrieved. If he was bigger, he could take longer strides.
Damn it.
It sounded as if he was a Devil King! His sister was the Devil King, not him!
“There is no need to leave the Land of Legacy.”
Lu Ming paused. “Some bad guys are eying this place. As the guardian of the legacy, shouldn’t you protect us while we accept the legacy?”
“Y-yes.”
The gigantic boulder man was confused.
When did he become the guardian of the legacy?
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder. “Just following me will do.”
“Oh.”
The gigantic boulder man paused momentarily. He suddenly realized that something was amiss. There were seven teams that participated in the legacy. “W-why must I follow you?”
“Because you can’t defeat me.”
Lu Ming’s face was expressionless. “If you don’t follow me, I will demolish you.”
The gigantic boulder man was speechless.
It seemed reasonable.
“Any more questions?” Lu Ming asked.
“N-no.”
The gigantic boulder man compromised.
Anyway, it was fine as long as they did not demolish him.
“Since this is the case... Give me all the energy,” Lu Ming said with a smile.
“Huh?”
The gigantic boulder man looked aggrieved. “W-why did you ask for the energy? I can’t give all the energy to you. If I give all of it to you and more people are here to take the assessment, I won’t be able to assess them.”
“Your task is to choose the strongest cultivator, right?” Lu Ming asked.
“Yes,” the gigantic boulder man boomed.
“What do you think of my ability?”
Lu Ming smiled and looked at him.
“Powerful!”
The gigantic boulder man boomed.
He must be very powerful to chase him all over the place.
“Therefore... Look. Even if I don’t chase after you and it is the other way round, how long do you think you will take to defeat me?”
Lu Ming sounded very serious.
The gigantic boulder man pondered for a long while but he had no answer.
Perhaps...
It would take a long time.
“Look, the previous guy took fifty seconds and you gave him the corresponding energy. I will compromise and agree on half a million seconds. Do you think I will be able to last for that long?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Yes, yes.”
The gigantic boulder man thought hard about it.
He did not dare to chase after Lu Ming. He would definitely be able to last for half a million seconds.
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming was very satisfied. “I won’t insist on one million seconds. Let’s go according to half a million seconds. I only need the corresponding reward for half a million seconds!”
“S-sure.”
The gigantic boulder man nodded.
There was the rule that he had to give the energy according to the time. He must comply with it.
Lu Yan looked at the way her brother duped the gigantic boulder man. She frowned. The gigantic boulder man was not very intelligent. It was normal that it was being duped. This was not a problem.
However...
Her brother seemed very adept at duping him?
Had he been practicing?
With whom?
Inexplicable.
She thought of Xiaobai...
Perhaps Lu Ming duped her into learning from him? She was Jiang Feng’s daughter! If anything happened, there would be trouble!
She had no wish to see her brother in various legal daily papers!
However...
This couldn’t be.
It was unlikely that her brother liked the young girl.
Her brother used to like her and now he seemed to prefer men. But now, there seemed to be something going on between him and Gao Xiaoqing...
Wait a minute.
Why was it so messed up?
Lu Yan’s head was aching.
She would do all she could to help her brother with his cultivation, however when it was about relationships, especially when it was so complicated and strange...
She felt that she was out of her league.
“Sister?”
Lu Ming waved his hands.
It was odd. His sister always seemed to be in a daze recently.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Yan recovered from her senses.
“Brother Boulder would help me temper my energy. Please keep a lookout for me.”
Lu Ming asked his sister for help.
“Okay.”
Lu Yan nodded slightly.
Shush!
Lu Ming sat cross-legged.
The energy surged in the gigantic boulder man’s hands and rushed into Lu Ming’s body.
Bang!
Bang!
There was a turbulence of energy.
It was the familiar feeling of the tempering process!
10%!
20%!
30%!
...
Lu Ming’s energy was increasing madly.
Increasing!
Increasing!
And increasing!
Eventually...
When the energy stopped, the energy in Lu Ming was being tempered to a three-star peak. It had been increased to the ultimate!
Ultimate tempering!
Yes.
This was indeed the peak!
Lu Ming’s energy might be weak, but the quality of the energy was at the three-star ultimate level! This was his biggest enhancement in the legacy!
Because...
This was the only thing that was relevant to him!
Lu Ming felt aggrieved.
There seemed to be a lot of chances to increase one’s energy in the seven assessments. However, they had nothing to do with him!
The Original Card!
The body!
Mental strength!
Was there anything that was useful to the Card Creator?
Nothing!
Thankfully...
He was finally able to enhance his energy.
Although his energy level did not increase, at the very least he had completed the tempering of energy. When his energy level reached ten thousand points, he would be a three-star peak!
Everything would fall into place!
It was perfect!
Of course.
Since his energy had been strengthened now...
Well...
He might take longer to increase his energy!
Every energy source that he received in the future would have to be compressed and tempered before it was of the same quality and density as the energy in his body, and to be integrated with it!
This meant that...
Lu Ming might need an immense amount of energy to increase to the next level!
For Lu Ming who was only at the two-star energy level, it might take a very long time.
“You might take a very long time to increase your energy.”
Lu Yan reminded him.
“It’s okay.”
It was alright with Lu Ming.
It did not matter to him.
As long as he did not reach a bottleneck, he would be able to break through all energy!
Furthermore...
If he encountered danger later...
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“Can I be considered as a three-star peak?”
Lu Ming sensed his newfound ability.
“No.”
Lu Yan took a look and answered him. “You are at most one-fourth of a three-star peak.”
A—alright.
One-fourth of a three-star peak was still considered as a three-star peak!
“I don’t have enough energy.”
The gigantic boulder man felt apologetic.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming patted him on his shoulder. “In the future, you will work with me. You can owe me the remaining energy for now. When your energy has recovered, you can return it to me.”
“Okay.”
The gigantic boulder man boomed.
What Lu Ming said made sense and he was a good man, allowing him to owe him the energy for the time being.
But he felt odd. He had already given Lu Ming all his energy. Why did he owe him such a large amount of energy?
He didn’t understand.
Lu Yan glanced at her younger brother.
She had a strange feeling that if she did not protect her brother, he would be beaten to death sooner or later...
