Chapter 147: What Did It Mean By This?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mysterious island.
“Come up.”
Qiu Shuyi gave the orders.
Those people climbed onto the small island cautiously.
“Elder, how are you?”
They greeted her respectfully.
“Good.”
Qiu Shuyi nodded. “The reinforcements will be here soon. Just wait a while longer. Which of you has taken the legacy?”
Wu Hongfei and the rest glanced at each other, shaking their heads.
“Not bad.”
“It’s good that you all know to hide it from others.”
Qiu Shuyi praised them. “This is a personal matter. All of you must protect your privacy.”
Gao Tianlang and the rest looked bewildered.
They... really did not have the legacy!
However...
Judging from what the elder said, they had some inkling. Perhaps Elder Qiu Shuyi had seen something and hence she made this comment intentionally?
Protect one’s privacy...
It seemed that...
The legacy was really with one of them!
The few of them glanced at each other, full of doubts.
However...
Just at this moment...
Qiu Shuyi frowned slightly.
Shush!
She lifted her hand.
Bang!
Wu Hongfei flew to a far distance instantly.
Bang!
He was sent one hundred meters into the ocean before he was thrown ashore. This was repeated several times before he was finally thrown ashore.
He looked half alive.
Everyone’s expression changed. What happened?
“Young man, don’t harbor evil intentions.”
There was a shadow of a smile on Qiu Shuyi’s face.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhao Yunshan had to hand it to him for his guts. There was admiration in his eyes.
It was true.
It was fine that he sneaked glances at Gao Xiaoqing. How dare he set his designs on Lu Yan’s Master?
It was no wonder...
Gao Tianlang finally realized what was going on.
It was no wonder this guy was keeping a very low-profile all of a sudden and he no longer addressed him as his brother or brother-in-law. It turned out that he had changed his target to Qiu Shuyi and started to have weird thoughts about her...
That was crazy!
Wu Hongfei was speechless.
He felt wronged.
It was true.
He did not do anything just now!
This was Lu Yan’s Master. He did not dare to do anything. He merely thought about it in his mind and was thinking of a name for his next generation...
And he ended up in the water again.
Wait a minute.
Could it be that...
Elder Qiu Shuyi was so powerful that she could read people’s minds?
That was terrifying!
Wu Hongfei felt terrified.
...
“Are you a Swordsman?”
Qiu Shuyi noticed his vocation right then.
She merely threw him into the ocean just now, and she did not notice that he was a Swordsman as well.
Oh.
Was the Swordsman nowadays so weak?
“Yes.”
Wu Hongfei was on tenterhooks.
He did not dare to harbor any indecent thoughts.
It was true.
He did not dare to provoke the big shot who was able to read his mind. Although he did not understand why a Swordsman would know how to read someone’s mind... nevertheless, she was not to be trifled with!
“You’re choosing the wrong vocation.”
Qiu Shuyi looked at him very seriously, and said, “Given your talent, it is more appropriate to be a cleric.”
Shush!
Everyone felt bewildered.
C-cleric?
Wu Hongfei’s face turned red.
This was too much!
He was a Swordsman!
The fighting vocation! The most powerful attacking vocation! How could she tell him to be a cleric? Was she saying that he was as good in fighting as a cleric?
How could she humiliate him?
Wait a minute...
Wrong!
She was a big shot. She had no need to humiliate him. Apart from Lu Ming and Lu Yan, she did not speak to anyone else. She was a powerful cultivator!
Cleric...
Was she referring to those in the games that provided healing? Or those at the wedding that recited a speech in one breath?
A cleric...
Perhaps, he had been taking the wrong path all along?
Wu Hongfei was in deep thoughts. It seemed that he had to think seriously about this.
“Elder, thank you for giving me guidance.”
He expressed his sincere gratitude.
Qiu Shuyi was speechless.
Couldn’t he tell that she was mocking him?
Lu Yan looked toward the sky, pretending to not have seen anything.
Under normal circumstances, people who were masters would not be that senseless to banter with the juniors, however, her Master...
Sigh.
It was better not to elaborate further.
While they were chatting, Lu Ming crept up to Gao Xiaoqing quietly.
“Miss Xiaoqing,” Lu Ming whispered. “Can I borrow some of your blood?”
“Huh?”
Gao Xiaoqing must have thought of something as she blushed at his words. “N-no.”
How could one lend blood?
She knew that there was a fragrance to her blood, but she could not l-lend her blood... Back then she heard in the school that some people liked to put on female clothings, she did not expect that Lu Ming would have this hobby!
“What are you doing?”
Gao Tianlang looked hostile.
He felt exhausted.
It was true.
Other than competing for the legacy, he had to be on guard as a few bastards were eying his sister...
Niu Xinghai was waiting to put his sister into a pot to concoct pills, while Wu Hongfei had indecent thoughts toward his sister. And there was Lu Ming who tried to play around with his sister!
How dare these guys tried to get their hands on his sister?
Scoundrels!
“Forget it.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
He really did not harbor any wicked thoughts.
He could make it this far as he was resourceful and creative. Take for example all kinds of methods in the trials, rupturing the liver to provide spirit energy, and propelling the Original Card to the sky...
Wait a minute.
They were very useful!
While his Burial Mound Card had a lot of restrictions, it was impossible to reenact a similar situation like this time where the Burial Mound Card worked together with the Charging Card and all the energy in the seventh mountain was being used up!
He did not have that much energy.
Not anymore.
However...
When he saw Gao Xiaoqing, he had a brilliant idea!
Think about it.
Didn’t the Burial Mound Card attract a lot of bulls?
Didn’t Gao Xiaoqing’s blood attract ferocious beasts?
If he used one litre of Gao Xiaoqing’s blood whenever he cast the Burial Mound Card...
This would be an excellent combination!
Would the Burial Mound Card be formidable?!
Would it be amazing?
Of course.
It was impossible now to really use her blood. However, it would be good if he could do some blood tests. After the various types of tempering in the Lunar Shadow legacy, the blood in Gao Xiaoqing had evolved into something amazing... It was very worth studying.
It was a sheer pity.
The lady did not agree to it.
...
Hence...
Everyone turned silent.
Wu Hongfei was pondering about life. It was very rare that he was not up to any trouble.
Zhao Yunshan sunk into despair and was thinking whether to go back... Niu Xinghai who was next to him was in deep thoughts as well, he wondered if it was still time to dress in female clothing to seduce Old Zhao...
Gao Tianlang stood next to his sister, sweeping his hostile gaze over everyone.
...
After a long time...
The reinforcements had arrived. However, everyone kept a low profile due to Qiu Shuyi.
The people from The First Academy were here as well.
Regarding this island...
Regarding this place...
They still had several things to research and inquire. It was worth researching on the history and foundation of the Lunar Shadow legacy, as well as its structure and time limit.
They intended to use this place as a valuable resource and they would conduct research on this place!
However...
When they arrived, they turned silent at the endless oceans.
Where was the legacy?
It had landed on the island.
Where was the island?
It was torn down by the sea cows.
Where were the sea cows?
They left after tearing down the island.
...
This might sound like lies in other situations, but it was indeed the truth over here!
It was very logical.
There was no way to refute.
It was the damn truth!
“What does this mean?”
The old pedants who rushed all the way here almost pulled out all of their beard.
The legacy...
This was a thousand-year-old legacy...
In general, legacy sites would be filled with illusions, so the legacy would disappear after it was completed. The Lunar Shadow legacy was an extremely rare legacy, and it had a lot of research value!
However...
Everything was gone!
They felt heartache for the loss!
It was good enough that the several inheritors managed to stay alive. They could only blame the Swordsmen on the island who made use of the legacy site!
“We’re too late...”
The old pedants sighed.
In the end...
The Archaeological Association of The First Academy was here as well.
They were here to construct the Teleportation Nexus, so that the archeology professionals could come to begin the restoration.
Beyond that, it was reconstruction.
After all...
They could no longer find other places that had as much energy!
Perhaps since the legacy came from ancient times, although it had been destroyed, it might be a good training experience as long as it could be rebuilt.
“It is the best place to cultivate!”
This was the comment made by the Research Association.
It seemed that The First Academy had really decided to develop this place.
“I wonder whether we can fish out Brother Boulder from the ocean.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
After the arrival of the legacy and with the attack of the deep-sea giant manatee, the legacy collapsed and had fallen into the sea. The boulders were no exception. Of course, it was not a person, it should not be a problem if it fell into the deep sea. It was just that he wondered now that the legacy had disappeared, would it still have its spiritual consciousness?
Lu Ming looked to the deep sea.
Hopefully...
You can recover your spiritual consciousness.
...
“All of you have done well.”
The dean was here as well.
Apart from sending the Big and Little Demon King away, the reason why he allowed Lu Yan and the rest to activate the legacy in The First Academy was naturally to protect them!
Many students from The First Academy participated in this legacy!
It was too dangerous outside!
Therefore, when he discovered that something was wrong with the legacy, he was very worried. Thankfully, all of the children survived and had done pretty well!
As for the legacy...
No one would admit to it.
He was certain that Lu Yan did not have it. The other Swordsman had died, it could only be among the remaining five people, though they refused to admit to it! But without a doubt, from now onward, these five people would be under serious observation by some powerful people or presence...
As for Lu Ming?
No one suspected him.
Because he was a Card Creator!
And because—
Even until now, they never knew that Lu Ming was one of the seven inheritors who took the Lunar Shadow Card to enter the legacy!
“This is your affinity. Since you want to protect it, protect it well.”
The dean made a meaningful comment. They would not snatch the affinity from the children.
Wu Hongfei and the rest of them felt wronged.
They really did not have it!!!
“However...”
“All of you deserve to be awarded for discovering the Land of Legacy! Regardless of whether you are from The First Academy or not, the six teams can each make a request,” the dean said in a low voice.
This offer to grant a request was mainly to serve as compensation for those who did not receive the legacy. After all, this place would eventually fall into the hands of The First Academy.
The offer made by The First Academy...
Everyone’s heart was stirred.
“You can make the request instead.”
Zhao Yunshan patted Niu Xinghai on the shoulder.
“Thank you.”
Niu Xinghai felt gratified. It seemed that Old Zhao was serious about giving up.
“Xiaoqing?”
Gao Tianlang looked toward his sister.
“I don’t need it.”
Gao Xiaoqing shook her head.
She had her master’s legacy. There was not much that she needed from The First Academy.
“Alright.”
Gao Tianlang’s voice was low.
It seemed that...
He could make a request, that...
“I want to be admitted to The First Academy.”
Wang Xuan put forward his own request.
What he lacked now was the foundation. The First Academy was the best place for him.
“Okay.”
The dean approved of it.
He was already a four-star at his young age... and he survived the Lunar Shadow legacy... It seemed that there would be one more talent from The First Academy.
“You...”
The dean looked toward Lu Yan and her brother.
“I want five percent of the shares over here after the redevelopment.”
Lu Yan shocked everyone with her remarks.
The dean rolled his eyes.
Were they crazy?!
Once the reconstruction development was completed, this place would become a real cultivation place. With the maintenance of the Teleportation Nexus and more, they would need lots of money. How could she ask for five percent of the shares?
That was too much!
“We found this place.”
Lu Yan looked nonchalant as she spoke, “We were the ones who dealt with the Swordsmen. My Master and I each killed one six-star peak. Strictly speaking, this place does not belong to The First Academy.”
The dean was speechless.
He knew that Lu Yan would not be easy to deal with!
Damn the Big Demon King!
He looked at Qiu Shuyi who was behind Lu Yan, he did not dare to say anything.
He heard that...
She had a bad temper.
“Give us five percent and put it under my brother’s name.”
Lu Yan’s expression was calm.
She wanted to fight for some benefits for her brother. If anything was to happen to her in the future, her brother would have cultivation resources. She could make use of her master’s presence to make the request.
“Impossible!”
The dean smiled bitterly.
He could not agree to the conditions.
It was true.
After redevelopment, this place would be a real cultivation place!
Every year there would be a limited quota and only the elite would have the privilege to come here for trials!
And yet Lu Ming wanted five percent of shares?
No way!
“Ask for another request.”
The dean sighed. “If you insist, we can only give up on developing it.”
“Can you bear to do that?”
Lu Yan did not believe him.
This was the place where the legacy descended. Even if it was destroyed, there was no other place that had such rich energy. It was definitely the perfect place to cultivate!
If not for the time limit of the Lunar Shadow legacy...
They would rather spend several years cultivating here!
The dean sighed. “But you don’t have to be this ruthless. Ask for another request. The higher-up would not agree to the unreasonable condition.”
“Alright.”
Lu Yan looked calm. “Let Lu Ming study at The First Academy.”
The dean cast a sideways glance at her.
Hehe.
This must be her real motive!
Actually, it was easy to go against the rules to enroll a student. Although The First Academy was the top-notch college, they were allowed to make exceptions.
Look, Wang Xuan was allowed to join the school.
Lu Ming was also quite good. He was talented and capable. Although he developed his abilities slower than others, it was still possible to catch up and he had indeed met the requirements for the school to make an exception.
However, when the dean switched on the communication device and saw how the students were discussing “whether the Card Creator was the strongest fighting vocation”, and his gaze went back to the island that had almost disappeared completely, he turned silent.
After a long time...
He sighed.
“You all should go back first.”
“I will discuss with the school regarding Lu Ming’s enrollment.”
The dean was hesitant.
“Okay.”
Lu Yan nodded slightly.
...
Very soon...
The Teleportation Nexus was completed and everyone left.
The First Academy.
“Rest here first.”
Lu Yan brought her brother back to the room. “We should receive the notice in two days’ time.”
“Okay!”
Lu Ming was hopeful.
Perhaps...
From today onward, he would be living here!
Although life was pretty good in Qing Ming City, this was The First Academy. This was the best school among all the colleges!
If he could study here...
Perhaps, it would be a new chapter for him.
The next day.
The news was here.
It came faster than Lu Ming and the rest had expected.
The dean’s assistant sent the documents personally to them. Lu Ming was excited to read the document, but his face sank the next second—”Notice of share transfer for Lunar Shadow legacy site redevelopment”.
Damn!
What did it mean by this?!
