Chapter 329: The Birth of a Spirit Body!
Somewhere.
At a legacy site.
Faint lights and shadows condensed.
A young girl was sitting cross-legged and surrounded by a pale, ice blue glow. In the vicinity, a herd of powerful and fearsome beasts was roaring loudly but none of them dared to approach her.
All of a sudden.
Lights and shadows vibrated.
The dazzling aura actually improved again!
“Not bad. You’re already a five-star.”
Qiu Shuyi felt very satisfied.
She had been extremely worried about this girl...
She would self-destruct whenever she did not keep a watch on her. She had once suspected she had become a netizen... After all, she had heard of some people becoming addicted to self-torture...
Could an addiction to self-destruction be considered an illness?
“Oh, right.”
Qiu Shuyi suddenly said, “You should participate in the graduation season this year.”
The graduation season!
This was very important for a student of The First Academy.
Lu Yan should have long graduated. However, she had been re-cultivating and re-cultivating due to certain reasons... Therefore, this had dragged on for a long time.
The time was just right.
The graduation season was in June. Lu Yan would most probably be a six-star then.
Furthermore, this was a millennium anniversary...
“Yes.”
Lu Yan nodded slightly.
Although her master was mischievous, she was certainly good to her.
“Good. My Xiao-Yanyan is so obedient.”
Qiu Shuyi leaned her voluptuous boobs on Lu Yan. “I’ll tell you a secret. There will be some interesting opponents this time. Although I’m very confident of you, you’ve just finished re-cultivating and may not clinch first place.”
Lu Yan was very powerful.
However...
She had re-cultivated too many times!
Especially since she was still in her recovery stage!
A few guys were as gifted as Lu Yan and had never re-cultivated. How powerful were they now?
“Oh?”
Lu Yan’s eyes shone greatly.
Bang!
Her motivation to fight intensified!
There was someone else who was stronger?
She very much looked forward to it!
She had re-cultivated umpteen times. Although she was slower in advancing through levels due to that, she had always been unequaled. No one could surpass her!
She had never bothered about the graduation season.
However...
Since Master had already said so...
She was filled with anticipation.
That was great. Her journey at The First Academy could then come to a perfect end.
“Oh, right.”
Qiu Shuyi smiled and said, “Xiao-yanyan, although it’s very important for you to regain your strength, you have to understand the rules of the graduation season...”
“Understood.”
Lu Yan nodded slightly.
The assessment was for one to unleash their strongest combat powers under a fixed set of rules!
Therefore...
They had to understand the rules!
“I heard that there’s a special graduate recently. I contacted him. He has just graduated and should understand the rules of the assessment best,” Qiu Shuyi said.
“Okay.”
Lu Yan closed her eyes again.
Faint lights and shadows circulated. She recovered again.
Qiu Shuyi looked at her quietly with a smiling look in her eyes. She had been away previously and this girl self-destructed. She had to keep a good watch on her!
...
At this very moment...
Somewhere.
In the Sea of Consciousness.
Lu Ming was in the midst of a conversation with the black cat.
Actually, it was not a big deal that an explosion occurred in his Sea of Consciousness. Lu Ming felt that if he were to communicate with the black cat properly, there certainly would not be a problem.
“Brother Cat! Actually, your whiskers are still quite sexy...” Lu Ming said earnestly.
Bang!
A black shadow flashed and Lu Ming was blasted out instantly!
After a long while...
He got up tenaciously.
“Brother Cat! I’m telling the truth! Actually, your fur looks more masculine like that! It makes you look more strong and mighty. You don’t need to be concerned about it...” Lu Ming said courageously.
Bang!
A black shadow flashed and Lu Ming was sent flying out again!
After a long while...
“Brother Cat...”
Bang!
A black shadow flashed and Lu Ming was sent flying again...
Hence...
After multiple times of entering his Sea of Consciousness and being blasted out, he could only give up in the end.
At this very moment...
The black cat’s cold and aloof gaze swept across the void and landed on Lu Ming. It then glanced at its ‘fried’ hair and licked it. The permed hair instantly turned soft and smooth.
After a long while...
The black cat was lounging about.
It was a pity...
Its originally sexy whiskers were not within its reach. They looked twisted and curvy, like freshly cooked instant noodles...
...
A—alright.
It seemed that Brother Cat was getting angry.
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
His original plan was to get some cracks on his vocation core from Brother Cat. Judging from the current situation... He was afraid that this could not be done anymore! After his ability had increased, Brother Cat seemed to have become stronger!
In the past, Brother Cat even broke his tooth when biting the card. It was actually that powerful now!
Brother Cat’s strength...
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment and decided to give up for the time being.
He would think of other ways.
Cracks...
Lu Ming felt that he did not need to be overly-persistent on the Original Card. Therefore, it specially looked for a powerful five-star Sword Embryo and then told Xiao-Xiaojian to take action.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
Cracks had truly appeared on the five-star Sword Embryo.
Done!
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
Although this was not the Original Card but the Sword Embryo, it was his first step of success!
Well...
In that case, the next step was to shove the spirit body into it.
Hence...
He grabbed the inferior spirit body which he had prepared and charged towards the crack with rancor.
In his memory, Brother Cat shoved Xiao-Xiaojian into it in this way. Therefore, he wanted to use the same method. It would definitely work...
Duang!
There was a deafening sound!
After a violent collision, the spirit body dissipated on the spot.
Lu Ming’s hands trembled slightly.
The spirit body was too weak. It actually dissipated!
Oo...
He would change to a stronger one.
Hence...
Lu Ming bought a better spirit body and began to test again. He was shocked to discover that only a high-level spirit body could endure the impact of the constant shoving!
Crash!
Crash!
Lu Ming charged with the spirit body continuously.
It was a pity...
He still did not succeed.
The crack on the vocation core was not related to the spirit body in any way. They did not have similarities in aura too. It was not feasible to directly shove it into the vocation core!
Clearly, this was a small train entering the cave...
“This is strange.”
Lu Ming muttered, “How did Xiao-Xiaoshé go in?”
Hence...
He specially initiated a communication between the spirit bodies.
“It says that snakes, especially its clan, have a unique ability to secrete a certain type of secretion that can help them to do that...” Xiao-Xiaojian explained.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up. “Can it be extracted?”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaoshé was glowing in green.
“Yes,” Xiao-Xiaojian explained.
Hence...
Lu Ming specially took a reagent bottle and placed it before Xiao-Xiaoshé. He watched as it worked hard to secrete a bit of greenish, mysterious and crystal clear secretion.
This was true.
This was a secretion!
With the help of the secretion, the spirit body finally squeezed itself into the vocation core successfully.
The integration was a success!
“It’s really useful!”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
Unexpectedly, he had to depend on Xiao-Xiaoshé eventually for the integration of the vocation core and spirit body. He had to rely on Xiao-Xiaoshé’s secretion in the end!
“Very good.”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
There were renewed hopes for the members of the Sword Card Master Association!
On the day itself.
Lu Ming uploaded the document titled “The Birth of the Spirit Body — Experiment Report” which described in detail how to create a thin and small crack, how to smear the secretion and how to squeeze the spirit body inside...
Everyone in the association was stunned.
“Master is amazing!”
Li Haoran said excitedly.
The Sword Card Master Association had very few members due to its high requirements. This was also his greatest concern! Unexpectedly, Master actually resolved it in half a day!
It turned out that...
It was that simple!
It turned out that...
Xiao-Xiaoshé’s secretion had such an effect!
It was great!
If he had long known about this, he would not have needed to trouble Master.
“Master, what is this thing called?”
Li Haoran was excited.
Since this was a special secretion that would be used by the Sword Card Master for integration it was not pleasant to call it a secretion.
“Let me think about it.”
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
Actually...
His first reaction was to call this thing as a lubricant. This name was good, relevant, and vivid. It was simply tailor-made for it!
It was a pity...
This would greatly affect the great reputation of the Sword Card Master Association.
Hence...
After contemplating for a long time, Lu Ming finally found a name that exuded dominance.
“This thing gives the vocation core a new lease of life!
“Why don’t we call it...”
He straightened his back and looked afar. He then smiled gently. “Awakening Medicine.”
“Awakening Medicine Eight?”
Li Haoran pondered deeply.
This name...
Why did it sound that odd?
This was strange.
Master had a thing for the number eight... Could it be that this kind of drug could also be improved and eventually attain the eighth stage? Furthermore, adding an eight behind the word ‘Medicine’....
It just felt weird.
Lu Ming turned sullen.
He did not notice it earlier but he was well aware of what happened now.
Damn you!
“Awakening Drug!”
Lu Ming enunciated and repeated every word. “Two words is enough.”
“Yes.”
Li Haoran suddenly broke out in a sweat.
“Anyway...
“You’ll resolve the rest.
“Xiao-Xiaoshé is your card spirit and it’s not practical for me to continue to experiment with it. You’ll carry out the remaining steps and prepare more Awakening Medicine,” Lu Ming told him.
“Understood.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
Master had already resolved the most difficult issue, which was the experiment and scientific research. The remaining tasks were very simple.
“Xiao-Xiaoshé!
“Secrete more for tomorrow and for future use!”
Li Haoran was excited.
Xiao-Xiaoshé fell silent.
It was very draining for its body to secrete once a day!
“Ten grams everyday?” Li Haoran said gingerly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaobai was glowing fervently.
Although it was also learning together with the other spirit bodies and it had lost its once six-star memory and many other things, it was not a fool!
It would die if it did this once everyday!
“Eight grams a day?”
Li Haoran went on to say.
Xiao-Xiaoshé was still silent.
In the end...
Xiao-Xiaoshé refused to speak or agree even when the quantity was reduced to two grams per day. The great achievement that Lu Ming had just attained was stuck now!
“How did this turn out like that?”
Li Haoran had a headache.
Usually, Xiao-Xiaoshé was quite obedient but now...
The grand recruitment plan of the Sword Card Master Association was about to begin. Future developments were going to be launched. Unexpectedly, Xiao-Xiaojian refused to obey and did not give him any face at all!
Was it really very bad for its body?
Li Haoran was very worried.
There was no other choice.
Li Haoran felt helpless and could only seek help from Senior Sister — Senior Sister Xiaobai was the head of the spirit body department. He believed that Senior Sister would have a solution.
“Let me take a look.”
Xiaobai told Xiao-Xiaoshé to approach her for communication.
After a long while...
There was an outcome to the negotiation.
“It’s done.”
Xiaobai called Li Haoran over. “In the future, you’ll be responsible for extracting the secretion. After weighing it, you can hand it to the Sword Card Master Association.”
“How many grams per day?”
Li Haoran was excited.
After pondering for a moment, Xiaobai said seriously, “It says two kilograms per day...”
Li Haoran had a dumbstruck expression.
Wait a minute...
Two kilograms?!
Crap!
Damn! You could secrete this thing in kilograms?!
“What did you say to it?”
Li Haoran was stunned.
“I didn’t say anything.”
Xiao-Xiaobai blinked her big and bright eyes. “Xiao-Xiaobai told it that the more secretions it can hand in, the more points will be added to its geometry examination score.”
Li Haoran was silent.
A-addition of points?!
He suddenly felt somewhat dazed. He had been sleeping on the same pillow and bed with Xiao-Xiaoshé for the past few months. Their lives were connected. He could not be compared to the additional points promised by Xiao-Xiaobai?!
This was too much!
It was a pity...
Xiao-Xiaoshé was not bothered with him.
After returning to the room, Xiao-Xiaoshé glowed, secreted and trembled excitedly...
Pfft!
Pfft!
The secretion was stored in a bottle.
...
At this very moment...
The matter of the card spirit was resolved and there were hopes for the Sword Card Master Association’s future. Lu Ming had also fulfilled one of his wishes. He was preparing to visit the two associations to cultivate and improve.
Suddenly...
Xiao-Xiaojian trembled and glanced in the direction of a certain place.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
“It’s alright.”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt somewhat baffled. “I seem to have felt some forces... It feels like a deduction ability. It seems that some people are deducing you!”
“Who?”
Lu Ming looked grim.
“I don’t know.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very forthright.
Lu Ming was speechless.
“Haven’t you been learning about deductions recently?”
Lu Ming sighed. “You actually don’t know who it was?”
“Don’t worry!
“We don’t need deductions. I can ensure your safety with my instincts alone!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was in high spirits. “It is enough to just learn a little about things like deductions. Combining the use of deductions and my instincts is already enough to handle most situations!
“Furthermore!
“I can sense the direction of the deduction!”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked in a direction and swore confidently, “Right. It’s coming from that side! Something over there is making deductions about you. I’m very sure!”
“How can you prove this?”
“Intuition.”
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming rubbed his palms.
“It looks like your skin is feeling itchy again...
“Ah!
“D-don’t beat me!”
Xiao-Xiaojian protested and said, “I really tried my best to learn! I didn’t skive! It’s true! If you don’t believe me, let me deduce for you a scene of Xiaobai bathing!”
Lu Ming’s face darkened. “Do I need you for that?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was stunned.
Damn!
Th-that’s true.
Zzz —
The doors of the bedroom suddenly opened.
Xiaobai was standing at the doorstep, carrying the hot and piping dishes for dinner.
Shush!
There was pin-drop silence in the room.
“Well...
“Master.
“Dinner is ready...”
Xiaobai’s voice was as soft as a mosquito. She lowered her head embarrassingly and was blushing like a huge persimmon.
“I-I didn’t hear anything. I’m going back...”
Upon finishing her words...
Xiaobai turned around and ran off.
Bang!
“Ah!”
Xiaobai rubbed her head. She had bumped it against the wall...
“I-I really didn’t hear anything.”
Blush red, Xiaobai explained herself again embarrassingly. She then left hurriedly.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
There was silence again in the room.
After a long while...
Expressionless, Lu Ming watched Xiaobai leave. His face then turned ghastly pale. He slowly turned around and looked at Xiao-Xiaojian, which was pretending to be innocent, and gave it a round of violent and vicious beatings.
Damn!
Where is my dignity as a master?!
...
