Chapter 204: The Extremely Frantic Lu Ming
Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming and Xiaobai took a long time to coax these two willful Original Cards. They had no choice. These two guys would lose their motivation to work after a conflict...
So as to speak...
Office romance must be prohibited!
It was not a problem when they were in good terms. However, when there was a conflict, the impact would be too great...
“Not easy.”
Lu Ming took a sip of water and glanced at the familiar activity in the corner.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two blooms, two glows...
“Yes.”
Xiaobai wrinkled her tiny nose. “Humph, they are not obedient at all.”
“If you listen to me and give them a round of beatings, that will be good.”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
He felt that...
This kind of matter was simple...
What to do if the Original Card was cultivating too slowly?
Most likely they were pretending. He would just give them a beating!
“Master!”
Xiaobai glared at Lu Ming. “It’s still very young!”
Alright.
Lu Ming sighed.
A kind mother makes a wastrel child...
Nevertheless, speaking of which, Xiaobai’s Original Card was really very young and was like a child... It was different from this guy that he had caught. He was thick-skinned and resilient to beatings.
Forget it.
He would leave it to Xiaobai. He could not be bothered about them.
Hence...
The matter of the Original Card was temporarily put to the side.
Lu Ming focused his attention on the vocation core.
This dingy was a treasure!
Think about it...
The vocation core!
This was the place with the highest energy condensation!
It was also the most precious place of a cultivator!
This dingy could self-erupt when one exhausted its energy and finished all their trump cards. It could release invincible powers!
What was self-eruption then?
Simply put, it was when the cultivator forcefully intervened in the core and caused the vocation core’s structure and system to collapse. The result would be an energy burst.
In normal circumstances, it was purely a vigorous collision of energy!
However...
If it could progress to a certain extent...
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
According to rumors, when the core self-erupted, there were many powerful abilities and various types of suicide attacks. His sister seemed very experienced with this aspect...
“Sister? Are you busy?” Lu Ming sent a voice message.
“Fighting a six-star beast,” Lu Yan replied.
“Fight first. Chat after that.”
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Yan did not mind. “Speak, I won’t be affected.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
How was it that his sister could already chat and beat a herd of six-star beasts at the same time... During the Lunar Shadow legacy the last time, she was only a five-star...
This speed of progress was too rapid!
Lu Ming sighed. It was true that humans should not compare themselves with each other.
“Sister,” Lu Ming said honestly, “I want to learn how to self-erupt the Sword Embryo from you.”
“Oh?”
Lu Yan was shocked.
It was strange. The last time when she wanted to teach her brother, he was adamant on not learning it... Why did he take the initiative to learn this kind of dangerous ability after some time?
“Did someone bully you?”
Lu Yan’s murderous intent was apparent. “Is it your president?”
“N-no.”
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat. “I just feel like when I’m outside, I’ll definitely encounter dangers. It’s quite good to pick up some life-saving techniques to prepare for emergencies.”
“Oh... I see.”
Lu Yan was glad.
Her brother had grown up. He was no longer that child who hid in the room and dressed himself in female clothing...
“I’ll send it to you now,” Lu Yan said.
Upon finishing her words...
She sent the materials on self-eruption to Lu Ming. However, she was somewhat surprised that the message was not successful after a long time as the data was too huge.
The reception was not good?
Lu Yan frowned slightly.
Therefore, she connected the six-star fearsome beasts like ‘sugar-coated haws on a stick’ and shot them into the sky. The signal bars on the communication device was instantly filled!
The sending was successful!
“It’s coming!”
Lu Ming looked with anticipation at the ability that had just appeared.
Sword Death — Through the control of thoughts, Sword Aura and Sword Spirit collapse the Sword Embryo’s ability and released everything to erupt enormous powers!
Pictorial illustration.
Swoosh!
A beam of sword gleam flashed across and traversed hundreds of meters in a straight line until it arrived in a certain place.
Bang!
A mushroom cloud rose to the sky.
It was very powerful!
Lu Ming was amazed.
He had used the vocation core to create a path in the ruins before. However, he merely threw it out to cause an explosion. Look at the Swordsman vocation...
The self-eruption was so dashing!
If his way of self-erupting the core was purely ‘Throwing a grenade’, the Swordsman’s self-eruption method was to ‘Launch rocket artillery’!
Not only were the prowesses different but also there was a definite shooting range!
He could even aim accurately!
It was too dashing!
Mental strength, Sword Aura... He had these too!
However...
When Lu Ming tried it, he heard sounds of wailing.
“A-argh!! I-I’m dying! Dying!
Quickly stop!”
The Original Card was frantically staring at the lines on his body which were beginning to shine...
Lu Ming quickly stopped.
Crap!
Clearly, he was testing it on a certain vocation core...
After studying for a while, he discovered that this ability did not have a target during the casting stage. It was the very pure kind of ability whereby whoever used it would erupt!
“Must be freaking kidding me!”
Lu Ming lamented listlessly.
It seemed that he would not be able to pick this up.
It was a sheer pity.
Lu Ming was filled with regrets.
After all, Sword Death was so dashing...
If he really learned this ability, it would be akin to having long-range rocket artillery in the future. He could launch it on whoever he did not see eye to eye with... How domineering was that?!
Forget it.
He would use it as a grenade.
Lu Ming sighed. Although its powers were a little weak, it would not explode on the spot!
Hence...
Lu Ming put away the vocation core and started reading earnestly again. Regarding the fourth stage guidelines of the Sword Card Master, he already had some headway.
In the suburbs.
Somewhere.
In fear and trepidation, two men in black were hiding in the forest and watching the police patrolling from afar.
They dared not move the slightest bit.
This was how things were.
Previously, one of their teams went searching for Fan Ze but never came back... They decided to come out to take a look but did not expect to bump into the police just after leaving their house!
Afterward...
There was no ‘afterward’...
Most of the men in black had been arrested and only the two of them were left running for their lives.
Why did the police appear here?
Who the hell knew?!
The huge number of beasts, a huge number of bulls, charging to and fro, refusing to enter, challenge and so on...
They completely could not understand!
Also...
They remembered that during the initial operations, the police of Qing Ming City was very weak. Basically, there were only one three-star leading a two-star...
Any of the men in black could annihilate them!
But now?
A few four-stars and a group of three-star peaks!
To hell with it!
Qing Ming City was such a shabby place. In normal circumstances, weren’t four-stars all presidents and vice presidents? When did the police have four-stars patrolling?!
Ultrapower abilities!
Fully armed!
They were annihilated before even making any moves...
Damn it!
He had to escape!
He had to tell the higher-ups that this place was too uncanny...
At this very moment...
At the police office.
Wearing an austere expression, Zhang Wei was in the midst of collecting information about this group of men in black.
This was not the first time that they arrested a group of men in black. But undoubtedly, this was the most fruitful capture and he hoped that he would not be disappointed.
However...
At this moment.
The assistant hurried in. “Team leader, those guys are gone.”
Well?!
Zhang Wei’s expression changed drastically.
Shush!
He rushed to the interrogation room.
Over there...
Those spot where the men in black were at... There was only a stretch of black traces left.
“Damn it!
Zhang Wei’s face turned pale.
Gone!
“Did you record a video?”
“Yes.”
“Let me see.”
The assistant switched on the screen.
Shush!
In the lights and shadows, they could easily see that the man in black was very frightened. When he was going to speak, he turned into a gust of black smoke and drifted away...
“This happened to everyone?”
“Yes,” the assistant said in a low voice.
“We’ve wasted our efforts again.”
Zhang Wei gave a deep sigh.
To hell with it.
What exactly happened to those men in black?!
Initially, they had thought that these men in black had escaped using some means...
However...
Afterward.
They enforced the energy and added various restrictions but the men in black still disappeared... In the end, they could only believe that these men in black... had died...
Yes.
They had all died!
Normally, once they were arrested, they would ‘die’ in ‘an uncanny way’.
No one was able to block it!
Restricting the energy?
It was ineffective!
Restricting the body?
It was ineffective!
What made them most despaired was...
Who were these men in black...
What were their motives...
They appeared frequently in the suburbs of Qing Ming City. What did they want to do? Such frightening tactics and cruel abilities. What were they trying to achieve?
All these details were the most important.
Zhang Wei was certain that this involved an earth-shattering scheme.
According to the description of the experiences in the police files...
It was highly possible that a legacy site was going to appear near Qing Ming City.
“Report this to the higher-ups. This should pique their interest,” Zhang Wei said in a low voice.
The assistant nodded slightly.
“Is there an outcome for the web data comparison?” Zhang Wei asked.
“No... The other cities have never encountered such a situation. However, the data deduced that it can possibly be a ‘curse’ type of ability!”
“Curse...”
Zhang Wei pondered deeply for a moment. “Find a cleric and take a look.”
The assistant nodded slightly.
A cleric...
He opened a social networking mobile app to search for clerics. Unfortunately, Qing Ming City really did not have such a vocation... He had no choice but to expand his search to all the cities. Taking into consideration the ease of travel, he could not reach out too far. He simply selected a three-star cleric with the best reviews...
“Can three-star do this?”
Zhang Wei was very doubtful.
These men in black had quite powerful abilities...
“Boss.”
The assistant sighed. “Three-star Clerics are quite powerful too. Of course, most importantly, the price for a four-star...”
Zhang Wei took a glance. “Oh, three-star is quite good.
It’ll be him, then.
I heard that this new Cleric’s charges are reasonable and he is very powerful...”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Wei took a glance.
Well...
Wu Hongfei...
Why did this name sound a little familiar?
The next day.
Early morning.
Lu Ming and Xiaobai was having breakfast.
“Reporting news from Qing Ming City...
Recently, the police arrested a group of men in black in the suburbs... According to sources, they were rampantly probing outside the safety boundaries and possibly conducting illegal acts...
A reminder from the police: Please take note of men in black who appear in the suburbs...”
“There are so many bad guys nowadays,” Xiaobai exclaimed.
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
Tsk tsk.
Those men in black were really everywhere.
Look.
He had just annihilated one group and now, they went to provoke the police. They were really courting death!
However, the scene in the news looked very familiar...
Eh?
Wasn’t that the place where he released the bulls? Why did the men in black go there? They were even that unlucky to be discovered by the police?
That was too dumb!
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
In this era, doing bad things also required some intelligence.
Actually, Old Fan had chosen his location well. It was just outside the safety boundary and was not under any jurisdiction. If anything were to happen, they could even run inside...
It was so good!
In comparison, those men in black were dumber!
However...
Which sect or organization did these guys belong to?
So many of them had perished and yet, many batches of them keep coming here...
Why?
Mysterious spirit body...
Koi...
The school...
Sigh.
Lu Ming sighed. He could only wait for Old Jiang to come back.
However...
Just at this moment, his wristband suddenly vibrated. He was instantly surprised. Jiang Feng?
Hey!
Speak of the devil!
That was fast?
“You’re back?”
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
“Lu Ming!
Look at what you have done!”
Jiang Feng’s furious voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. “See how I will deal with you when I’m back?!!
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.
Why was it that confusing?
Just as he wanted to say something, the call was already hung up.
“What is happening?”
Lu Ming felt ridiculous.
Did Old Jiang take the wrong medicine?!
This was really...
Oh.
He recalled the joke that he made the last time...
“Tsk tsk. Old Jiang’s intelligence is too low. He actually believed it?”
Lu Ming shook his head.
Bathing, vomiting... These were certainly jokes...
At this moment.
A delivery man came knocking on the door. “Hello, is Xiaobai around? She has mail.”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming received the package curiously. “Xiaobai, did you buy anything?”
“Yes.”
Xiaobai’s voice could be heard from inside the shop. “I bought a book.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming understood right away.
He returned to the table and continued to have his meal. Looking at the parcel beside him, he opened it curiously. There was really a new book inside.
Book name: Parenting Journey
Lu Ming gasped as he slurped his Liangpi (Liangpi is a noodle-like Chinese dish made from wheat or rice flour. It is a specialty dish originating from the cuisine of Shaanxi Province but has now spread to many other places in China).
This thing...
Oh.
Crap!
It was no wonder Jiang Feng was that furious!
It was nothing when he made those jokes but if even Xiaobai herself bought this book... Old Jiang had to believe it no matter what!
“Why did you buy this?”
Lu Ming was extremely frantic.
“To read.”
Xiaobai cast a strange look at her master, and then said happily, “I wrote in a forum that little guy is not obedient. They recommended this. Hmm... the card spirit wasn’t born long ago. It’s like a child. This should be of some help.”
“I-is that so?”
Lu Ming felt extremely guilty.
He returned that book to Xiaobai.
“Thank you, master.”
Xiaobai went to read it happily.
Lu Ming was silent.
After a long time...
He spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.
“Xiaobai.”
“Yes.”
“If your dad and I fell into the waters at the same time, who would you save?”
“Huh?!”
