Chapter 322: A Three-second Lu Ming.
Tian Du City.
At the Sword Card Master association.
The police personally made a trip there. Though they said that they were there to investigate the pyramid scheme company, Lu Ming had the feeling that they cast odd glances at him...
It felt as if they were looking at rare creatures.
“Brother.
“I have worked in Tian Du City for years. I have never seen someone as impressive as you! You are indeed amazing to drive the fraudsters to reporting to the police.
“Oh right.
“The pyramid scheme company has other criminal records. But as they are very vigilant, we could not apprehend them. The reward has been accumulating. In the end, their luck ran out when they met you...
“Hey, this banner is for you. This is a show of support from the police at Beihai Road.”
The police were amazed.
Lu Ming was speechless.
The guy who sent the banner leaned in. “Young lad, can I have a picture with you?”
Lu Ming looked sullen.
After a long while...
Peace finally returned to the association after the police left.
In fact, this was nothing serious. It was just that the rewards provided by the pyramid scheme were obviously from a special time period!
It was a mysterious cultivation skill!
And...
The lines that Xiao-Xiaojian recognized at the first glance were special as well.
Yes. It did not matter what the other party provided. What was important was the lines on the rewards. It was obvious that they did not belong to this era!
They were merely interested in the techniques behind these lines!
It was a pity...
The pyramid scheme company was apprehended.
The so-called tomb must have come from a legacy site and it had disappeared together with the legacy site. They could no longer provide any rewards and hence they had no choice but to report to the police...
“What a pity.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very disappointed.
This was the first time it had such high expectations!
Xiao-Xiaobai had tested the mysterious cultivation skills. It was very inefficient! However, with Xiao-Xiaojian, the cultivation speed had a significant increase!
That feeling...
It felt as if this was specially meant for Xiao-Xiaojian to boost its abilities!
This was a special treat!
It was awesome!
Not forgetting the lines!
Seriously...
It could tell with one glance that the lines were extraordinary. Although those things were very common, the lines were the reason why the items could be perfectly preserved all these years...
The items were intact and there was no wear and tear.
This seemed like a long-lost solidification skill!
If it mastered those lines, it believed that it would become harder, firmer, and more durable!
It was a pity... Not anymore.
“Hopefully, we will be able to see other lines in the future.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
“There will be more,” Lu Ming consoled it and said.
Seeing that Xiao-Xiaojian was so hardworking, he felt quite grateful.
However, he found it odd that the cultivation skill was only useful for Xiao-Xiaojian. Therefore, he did some testing on the cultivation skill.
And he discovered...
The cultivation skill had nothing to do with Xiao-Xiaojian.
Yes.
The reason why it had a significant effect with Xiao-Xiaojian was because the cultivation skill was unlike others. This type of cultivation skill would increase at a certain rate!
Yes.
Rate!!!
On average, every twenty hours, the cultivation speed would increase by 1%. This was why when ordinary people cultivated, their increase was very slow! In general, one would cultivate for a maximum of ten hours a day. If that was the case, there would only be a 0.5% increase. One would need two hundred days which was nearly one year to have a small increase!
It was too slow!
Lu Ming was the exception...
As he had one hundred thousand points of energy, therefore a small increase of 1% amounted to a lot!
This was why it gave Xiao-Xiaojian a false impression and it was mistaken to think that it was favored by nature and had received a professional booster in its abilities!
“Should we tell him about it?”
Xiaobai could not help but sympathize with it.
At this moment...
In the corner.
Xiao-Xiaojian who had felt aggrieved for a long while had the same sentiment as the song “Fan Shen Nong Nu Ba Ge Chang”[1.This is a song about the great transformation Tibet underwent after the Chinese Communist Party and Mao Zedong brought peace to Tibet.] It kept walking about in front of Xiao-Xiaobai, glowing rampantly...
Such a poor thing...
“No need.”
Lu Ming sighed. “It’s just as well that it can continue dreaming.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai nodded obediently.
Hence...
From then on, Lu Ming’s cultivation speed increased significantly.
The fellow who had been idle for a long time worked hard twenty four hours a day, to prove that its cultivation speed was very fast...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaojian drifted past Xiao-Xiaobai, feeling proud of itself.
Xiao-Xiaobai was speechless.
Xiaobai and Xiao-Xiaobai could read each other’s thoughts. Therefore it knew the reason as well. It gave Xiao-Xiaojian a sympathetic and pitiful look.
Hey!
Xiao-Xiaojian was overjoyed.
Tsk tsk...
Look, these days, Xiao-Xiaobai had been seeing it in a different light. It must have realized its potential! Hahaha!
...
The incident regarding Xiao-Xiaojian’s pyramid scheme was settled.
Lu Ming’s energy level had increased slightly.
According to this rate, if his cultivation speed was increased by about 1% on average, it would only take three months before he could break through to advanced four-star!
He was making good progress!
However, with this experience in mind, Lu Ming felt that he could not afford for Xiao-Xiaojian to go out in the world unleashed. Today, he was involved in a pyramid scheme, who knew if he would be gambling at Macau casino in the future?
Perhaps a sexy sword spirit would deal the cards online??
This would not do!
Therefore...
In order to maintain the harmony of the association and to control the financial flows of Xiao-Xiaojian, Lu Ming thought about it and set up an individual account for it!
Li Haoran prepared some materials for other card spirits as well.
Hence...
The association that did not have many members was suddenly filled with a row of newbies.
Xiao-Xiaojian joined the group chat.
Xiao-Xiaobai joined the group chat.
Xiao-Xiaoshé joined the group chat.
Xiao-Xiaolei joined the group chat.
...
“Remember.
“All of you have grown up and are mature spirit bodies. You must learn to browse the forum, to look at the materials, to self-cultivate and to read books...
Do you understand?”
Xiaobai looked serious as she instructed and taught them for the last time.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The spirit bodies stood in a row, glowing rampantly.
Different colors flashed and formed a shining brilliance. They seemed like ancient marquee lights.
“Hmm...”
Xiaobai was satisfied with their performance.
“Xiao-Xiaobai, make sure to keep a watch on them.”
Xiaobai instructed.
Shush!
Xiao-Xiaobai flashed a clear radiance.
...
At this moment.
Everything was settled at the association.
Under Xiao-Xiaobai’s guidance, the spirit bodies began their disciplined and structured cultivation, while Li Haoran and the rest began research in their individual fields!
The association was back on its tracks.
For this...
Lu Ming was grateful.
It was wonderful.
He started the association from scratch and today it was on track...
“What does that have to do with you?”
Xiao-Xiaojian sounded disdainful.
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
He pulled it to a corner and beat it up.
“Hehe.”
Xiao-Xiaojian stood up tenaciously.
It was not painful at all. Ever since its cultivation skills were improved last time, it had improved by leaps and bounds. It would be very soon before it totally recovered...
To take a beating?
It was ridiculous!
It was not afraid at all!
“Were you really very powerful in the past? Are you more formidable than Brother Cat?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Of course.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very proud of itself. “It is merely a black... Brother Cat, I am wrong! He deliberately tricked me...”
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
Xiao-Xiaojian was trampled on the ground. It was deeply buried in the ground and there seemed to be no way of getting out.
“Small case. I have ways of subduing you.”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
However...
He had to do something about this.
Well...
Xiao-Xiaojian had become tougher these days. He had to think of ways to discipline it.
Suddenly...
His wristband vibrated, there was an incoming call.
Eh?
Lu Ming looked at it and was surprised to see that it was from Zhang Wei.
Qing Ming City...
Ever since he left, it had been a long time since he had any news of them. He wondered how they were doing?
“What is the situation in Qing Ming City now?”
Lu Ming asked in a low voice.
“Very good.”
Zhang Wei scratched his head. “Ever since you left, everything is okay now.”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
What Zhang Wei said would warrant a round of beatings from him! What did the incidents at Qing Ming City have to do with him? That was the thousand-year-old array!
“Oh, I don’t mean to blame you.”
Zhang Wei felt somewhat embarrassed. “It’s just that with you around, there is a higher probability of unexpected incidents...”
Lu Ming pulled a long face.
“Hey. Look, I shouldn’t put it in that way.”
Zhang Wei felt slightly ashamed. “You are the one who saved all of us. No matter what, I have to thank you. If not for you, there would be big trouble in Qing Ming City.”
Lu Ming no longer pulled a long face.
“I called you regarding a small issue.”
Zhang Wei sounded odd. “Well, Lu Ming... Did you purchase something online recently?”
“What is it???”
Lu Ming looked bewildered.
“This is what happened,” Zhang Wei whispered, “Two days ago there was an odd parcel that was meant for you. Although it was encrypted, but well... as you know, the situation in Qing Ming City is precarious. Everything has to go through stringent checks. Therefore, I opened the parcel and looked at it...
“What was written on the parcel was very racy. It was meant for sadomasochists and said that the package was awesome and pleasurable...”
Zhang Wei’s voice became softer and softer.
There was no other choice.
This thing...
It was too shameful!
The most shameful thing was that it stated that the parcel was urgent!!!
Why was he in such a hurry?
“Oh?”
Lu Ming suddenly recalled it.
He bought a small leather whip that could lash souls on the Internet. It must have arrived!
Hehe...
From now on, his spirit body could no longer be smug anymore!
“Send it to me.”
Lu Ming was very frank about it.
He had a clear conscience, hence there was no need to hide about it.
“Are you really the one who bought it?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Wei was silent.
This thing...
He could not help but associate it with something bad...
“Well... Lu Ming...”
Zhang Wei sighed, concern evident in his voice. “The world is huge and there are many beautiful things. Some things might be awesome, but they may not be suitable for you.”
Lu Ming turned sullen. “What are you talking about? This is not for me!”
“That’s even worse.”
Zhang Wei was anxious. “Lu Ming, Xiaobai is still a child...”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
“Am I that kind of person to you ?”
Lu Ming sounded upset. “Rest assured. I won’t hurt anyone.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Wei hung up the phone.
He still believed in Lu Ming.
Since Lu Ming had said so, everything must be alright. But then again, he said that he would not hurt anyone, could it be that...
He was going to use it on himself?
Ss——
In that case...
Zhang Wei shuddered at the thought of it. He heard that he used to have contact with Wang Xuan...
“Things are not looking good.”
Zhang Wei was very worried.
He heard that people who were perfect had some quirks. He did not believe this in the past, but now he did.
Although Lu Ming was very destructive, he was kind, righteous, powerful, talented and good-looking. He did not seem to have any shortcomings!
He used to think that Lu Ming was a perfect person, but now it seemed...
The ancient sayings were true!
Lu Ming...
Sigh.
He was such a good child, why was he sadomasochistic?
...
At this very moment...
Lu Ming was in a good mood.
He looked toward the corner. Xiao-Xiaojian glowed rampantly while making his rounds among the other spirit bodies. A large amount of energy surged as it moved around, proving that it was very powerful. It would strut about in front of Xiao-Xiaobai from time to time...
It was very proud of itself.
Hehe.
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
For now, it could still strut around. When he had the small leather whip...
Snort! Snort!
Buzz—
His wristband vibrated.
Lu Ming looked at it instinctively.
It was the latest news from the Ministry of Education at Qing Ming City—As the college at the crossroads had disappeared, he was transferred to another college!
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
He knew very well that some people were dissatisfied with him after he participated in the championship, helping the school to continue its operation. This was a good chance for them to stop the college at the crossroads from operating...
This was just as good.
Lu Ming could not be bothered.
In fact, he was the least interested in transferring to any other colleges. As a cultivating trainee with a special place in the school, he did not need to report to school every single day! To him, his place in school was only nominal. After all, the situation in Qing Ming City as well as the nearby schools were...
It was a long story.
Lu Ming reckoned that his combat abilities were higher than his principal!
What was there to learn?!
However...
Lu Ming opened the message and was stunned. “The First Academy?!”
He was transferred to The First Academy!
How could that be possible?!
Only heaven knew!
The dean was a wily old fox. He would rather sacrifice the developing rights of the Lunar Shadow legacy island, than transfer Lu Ming to his school. No matter how his sister negotiated with him, it was useless!
What made him think about it now?!
Could it be that...
His brain was damaged?!
However...
Lu Ming found the reason out very soon.
Cultivating trainee!
Obviously...
The First Academy was after this as well.
Due to his special status, he was not only a student of The First Academy, he was the cultivating trainee of The First Academy as well! He did not need to follow any rules!
Did it mean that he could learn whatever that he liked?
Lu Ming suddenly felt excited.
He was very clear that with the increase in his energy level, he was sorely lacking in his professional fundamental knowledge and experience...
He needed a broader education apart from reading books!
The foundation of swordplay!
The foundation of card creation!
The foundation of spirit bodies!
There were many things that he did not understand!
Right now...
Did it mean that he could learn all of them?
Ding—
His wristband vibrated.
His electronic profile had been registered. From now on, he was a student of The First Academy, and he was the special cultivating trainee!
“This is great!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
He opened the student’s portal and was just about to select the courses when a message popped up.
Ding!
“Congratulations. Classmate Lu Ming.
“Because of your excellent performance, as well as your strong combat abilities, The First Academy has certified that you have reached the graduation standards of our school and we have specially approved for you to have an early graduation.”
Ding!
“Your electronic graduate certificate has been issued.”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
G-graduated?
Damn!
He had just joined the school for barely three seconds and he had graduated?!
...
