Chapter 167: Have You Heard of Something That Fell From the Sky...

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Workers’ Sports Complex.

Xiaoyan stepped into the competition ground seriously and glanced at Lu Ming. “I will defeat you.”

“Your team leader said that too.”

Lu Ming sighed.

This child looked too young. He could not bear to lay his hands on him.

“I know.”

Xiaoyan nodded. “But you don’t have anymore cards.”

Lu Ming reached out to the card bag in his waist. It was true. He fished out only one card!

Yes.

He prepared twenty cards and was left with only one.

Logically, he should be able to finish off one opponent with one card in a second for such preliminary rounds, ending the fight with five cards. How the hell did he know that they would be up against a powerful college in the top hundred?

Furthermore...

The other party had more tactics than him!

They actually depleted his cards with their own bodies!

They fought him as if he was the boss?

“Sigh.”

Lu Ming took a deep breath. “Can’t you take me for a salted fish?”

You guys actually schemed on this too?

“Teacher says, we need to have fear and reverence for the enemy.”

Xiaoyan had a very serious expression. He then continued, “You should change your card bag. The card bag that you’re using now is too thin and people can easily guess the number of cards that you have.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

He glanced at the card bag on his waist.

Well...

This looked like the type given by the school.

Certainly, it was time for him to change it.

But then again, Xiaobai had been learning from him for so long and yet, she did not have a suitable card bag. He had overlooked this.

He heard that the Ye Zi flagship store was having a sale on the card bags with the latest designs. There was a one-for-one promotion. It was just nice, he could also get one for Xiaobai...

and get Old Jiang to reimburse him.

It was perfect.

“I can sense that you look down on me.”

Xiaoyan’s expression was austere.

He was fourteen years old. In fact, he was merely younger than Lu Ming by a few years.

However, he was going through puberty. Hence, judging from his appearance, Classmate Xiaoyan was obviously a kid and he still looked very childish...

That serious expression made him look even more adorable.

“I didn’t.”

A kind smile emerged on Lu Ming’s face.

“I will defeat you.”

Xiaoyan became very serious.

He was well aware of the power of the Water Autumn Sword Aura.

The unique characteristic of this kind of Sword Aura was that it was extremely fast, powerful and could hit the face before one could even come to their senses.

However, Lu Ming only had one Sword Aura left!

This Sword Aura!

It would not be able to break his defense!

He would definitely win this round!

Of course.

Even so, he did not let down his guard.

His age was his advantage.

Disguise was also an advantage.

It was good that Lu Ming looked down on him. The team leader was very powerful but Lu Ming blasted him out before the former could finish his words. On the other hand, his size and looks now easily earned him an opportunity to speak, and this chance gave him time to observe and analyze Lu Ming...

From this angle...

This posture...

This was the moment!

Bang!

A three-star peak aura was suddenly released!

It was not only so. Faint energy surrounded him. Many people were stunned because it was actually the same ability as that team leader!

Energy Combat Outfit!

He had the same surmounting ability!

Did he comprehend it himself?

How could that be possible?!

Perhaps that team leader had imparted all his skills to him!

Energy Combat Outfit did not only create a defense but was also an enhancement in all areas! That layer of energy was akin to clothing that covered his entire body!

Whoosh!

Xiaoyan’s figure suddenly erupted.

He transformed into a shadow that charged towards Lu Ming. He was shining all over like a sun.

He was very smart.

He not only struck but also executed a last-gasp kill!

“What a swift reaction!”

“It is very powerful!”

Everyone was shocked.

Three-star peak!

Surmounting ability and Sunburst Fist!

It turned out that his boy was very powerful!

Instinctively, they wanted to look at Lu Ming’s counterattack but at the sight of that shriveled card bag of his, they suddenly realized that Lu Ming could have run out of cards!

At the thought of this, everyone was suddenly thrilled.

Although they got a kick out of seeing Lu Ming finishing off one pax with one sword in one second, this guy truly deserved a beating!

At this moment...

They actually hoped that this boy could defeat Lu Ming.

Three-star peak!

Surmounting ability!

At a younger age!

No matter how they looked at it, this boy seemed more talented than Lu Ming!

Lu Ming...

It seemed that he was only a two-star?

Of course.

The level was not the main point. The main point was that Lu Ming was a Card Creator and he had run out of cards...

What did it mean when a Card Creator ran out of cards?

As a friendly reference, it was akin to the times when the Elementalist next door was in a withering mental state and when the Sharpshooter did not have any arrows.

Basically, he was a salted fish!

Those very pure types that would not flip over!

“Shoo!”

Everyone was delighted to watch what was happening.

So what if your Sword Aura was that powerful?!

So what if the Combat Card Creator that you boasted about was powerful?

This was a competition!

There were rules here!

A Card Creator could only create cards during the period of the competition. Hence, it was very common for Card Creators to deplete their cards and the outcome... was typically tragic!

They glanced over and saw a small sun charging towards Lu Ming and heading towards his spot at lightning speed. Lu Ming did not seem to be reacting in time.

“He’s likely going to be severely injured.”

“Tsk tsk...”

“If he can release his Sword Aura and block it, he should be able to turn it into a minor injury.”

“Most likely he won’t be able to react in time.”

Everyone sighed.

A Card Creator was ultimately a Card Creator!

No matter what title you add to yourself or what additional effect you have, you’re still a Card Creator! The combat ability of a Card Creator without cards was almost equivalent to zero!

This punch...

It was fearful that Lu Ming had to receive the punch.

Bang!

That blazing flame was as scorching as fire.

At this moment, the boy was shrouded in a bright glow as he dashed towards Lu Ming.

...

At this very moment...

Lu Ming really felt slightly troubled.

It was not because he could not react in time. In fact, he had realized it the moment the boy had an outburst but he was contemplating how he could resolve this.

He really did not expect his cards to run out.

There were a total of twenty cards!

He had no choice. Who would expect the School Championship Competition to be that shameless to arrange such a team for them? And this team was very dedicated...

What could he do about it?

He felt very helpless too.

Oh.

It seemed that he had to prepare more cards next time.

But what could he do now?

Moonblade?

That was too brutal.

This was such an adorable boy. How could he kill him?

The Original Card?

His Original Card was enough to rival the Sword Embryo. If he was forced to use it... It could really fight. After all, he was already a qualified Swordsman now...

However...

Did he want to expose himself now?

There was no hurry.

Lu Ming felt that he could still endure this. It was best not to expose himself wheb possible. After all, it was easy for people to associate this with the Lunar Shadow legacy.

Well...

Full Moon?

Everyone would attain this when the time was ripe.

However, he did not prepare any Full Moon Card!

What to do?

Lu Ming was a little worried.

Under the gaze of everyone, he needed to find an appropriate solution.

Oo...

He glanced at the only Sword Aura in his hands and an idea flashed across his mind.

It was just that...

At this very moment...

Bang!

That scorching attack landed.

Classmate Xiaoyan’s Sunburst first was closing in.

“Come on!”

Lu Ming shook his head slightly.

Sensing the scorching heat, the card in his hands suddenly dissipated. There was a burst of energy under his feet and the force propelled his entire body into the sky!

Everyone was stupefied!

“Crap, he knows how to fly?”

“How did Lu Ming go up?”

“Did he prepare some Soaring Cards beforehand?”

“That is possible.”

Everyone was surprised.

At this very moment, the boy was also somewhat confused. The punch that he was so confident about actually missed!

This...

How could this be possible?!

Lu Ming was actually faster than him?!

However, he was very smart and reacted very quickly. Lu Ming might have prepared a certain kind of speed card and thus dodged the attack for the time being.

Was it an Escape Card?

It was okay.

He would try again if he could not hit him in one strike!

Lu Ming was suspended in the air and would not be able to dodge him. That was really dumb!

Hence...

The boy condensed the energy in his hands again.

Sunburst Fist!

One punch headed upwards and charged at Lu Ming!

Bang!

Flames were burning. It was as if a fire dragon was rising into the sky!

However...

Just at this moment...

In the sky.

Lu Ming, who had just taken advantage of the force to reach the highest point, turned and dropped. Facing the Sunburst Fist from the boy, he actually clenched a fist with his right hand and made use of the force to propel himself downwards!

“Has he gone mad?”

At the sight of this, everyone was in fear and trepidation.

Lu Ming...

Did Lu Ming forget that he was a Card Creator?

He actually dared to have a direct confrontation with a three-star Energy Warrior?!

“Is this guy looking for death?”

Even the judges who were now situated at the highest floor of the Workers’ Sports Complex jumped in shock.

“Prepare to take action...”

“If something happens, we have to save him.”

“Understood.”

Everyone looked austere.

This was a School Championship Competition and not that kind of contest in the society. Participants of the School Championship Competition were students. If it was possible, no lives should be lost.

Especially—

These two guys!

Swoosh!

Two fists suddenly collided in the air.

Blazing and glowing flames shot into the sky.

Bang!

A horrifying glow suddenly engulfed the entire place.

At this juncture, that scorching flame with an intense glow exploded. They could not catch a clear glimpse of the situation due to the horrifying confrontation of energy. Everyone held their breath and glanced at the center of the competition ground.

“Oh no!”

The judges’ hearts were thumping wildly.

The commotion was much greater than they imagined!

It was too late to save people.

No.

They could not catch a clear glimpse at all!

Their hearts turned cold. Was the first death or casualty of the School Championship Competition going to occur here? In particular, both these guys had backgrounds!

At the thought of this, the judges felt worried.

Hopefully...

Nothing would happen!

Right then...

Everyone’s gaze was fixated at the center of the hall. Some were worried and some stunned. Was this a confrontation between three-star peaks? It was that terrifying!

“Do we have to take action?” Someone from the judging panel said in a low voice.

“No need.”

Someone shook his head slightly. “The two of them are still alive and their breathing is normal. Don’t interrupt the competition first.”

“Okay.”

That person could only stop.

At this moment, the confrontation had already ended. It was pointless to interfere.

However...

What the hell happened?

Very soon...

The glow dissipated.

That chaotic energy also disappeared.

People could then catch a clear glimpse of the situation at the center of the hall. They widened their eyes instantly.

Over there...

In the middle of the competition field.

The boy was lying on the floor. His clothing was torn and tattered while he wore a blank expression on his face. He seemed to be doubting life. Lu Ming was kneeling in front of him.

Of course.

Forget it if that was all. The main point was...

Cheez!

Cheez!

Lu Ming’s body was spurting blood like a fountain. His blood was spraying all over the place.

The boy’s body had been splattered with it.

Everyone was silent.

W-what the hell was this?

Who had won?

Hello, no one knew!

That boy was not wounded. However, that expression of being ravaged... Could Lu Ming have won? However, he was spurting blood...

This was too tragic.

Those who did not know might think that something unspeakable had happened!

At the judging panel.

The judges faced one another.

Naturally, they could tell who had won. However, they really did not expect to see this damn Swordplay again one day!

“Sword Plunge...”

One judge gave a sigh.

Yes.

Sword Plunge.

At the crucial moment, Lu Ming infused that beam of Sword Aura into his own body and actually cast that person’s signature ability. He could then release such great powers!

It was just that...

Click!

Click!

There were clear and crisp sounds. On the spot where Lu Ming was, countless cracks were suddenly spreading. Their competition ground was actually collapsing.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Was the power of Lu Ming’s fist that terrifying?

At this very moment...

The judging panel.

Everyone was silent too.

This power...

It was more stunning than they had imagined!

Oh.

Come to think of it, Sword Plunge was a four-star ability...

However...

Sword Plunge was an ability with its own style. From Sword Aura to the circulating the secret, it was one of a kind. One could only release this move after they manage to comprehend everything completely!

This was a legacy!

This was a secret!

Four-star level was very powerful too!

Additionally, people like Lu Ming infused his sister’s Sword Aura into his own body, modified it to three-star and then released it...

He had to comprehend Sword Plunge completely!

He had to understand Sword Aura!

He had to be very familiar with Swordsman to make this possible!

Card Creator...

Wrong.

Could it be said that a Combat Card Creator had already progressed till this stage?

It was very powerful!

Even the judges were astonished.

“Well...”

One of the judges suddenly spoke, “Is it too late for me to acknowledge Lu Yan as my sister now?”

The rest of the judges were speechless.

Where was his shame?

He was already over sixty years old and yet, he still wanted to acknowledge a sister!

...
