nThe second mountain.

nSince everyone had passed the assessment, the assistant path was opened again.

nBuzz—

nThe river reversed its flows, sending everyone to the finishing point.

n“It’s over.”

nNiu Xinghai and the rest were full of emotions.

nAs the assistants, they were fairly satisfied with this assessment.

nAlthough they vomited blood upon entering the river, they were able to stabilize themselves and their bodies were being nourished. By the time the assessment ended, their physical fitness level had increased tremendously!

nTheir bodies were noticeably stronger!!

nThey were able to benefit from it!

n“Your Sword Aura…”

nZhao Yunshan looked at Lu Yan. “Was it that powerful?”

nHe really did not understand.

nHe tried to release the Sword Aura in the river, however it merely made a small impact when it entered the river. The river designed by Lunar Shadow seemed to weaken the Sword Aura by ninety percent!

nThis was normal.

nSince this was a tempering assessment, it should weaken the Sword Aura!

nHowever, Lu Yan actually brought her brother with her on a wooden boat with her Sword Aura!

nHow could that be possible?!

nWas her Sword Aura endless?

n“What?”

nLu Yan was confused.

n“Aren’t you the one?”

nJudging from her expression, Zhao Yunshan knew that she was not feigning ignorance.

n“Of course not!”

nLu Yan shook her head. “I tried, but the river cancelled out the Sword Aura. Otherwise, I would have brought my brother with me.”

n“You’re right.”

nZhao Yunshan understood. “But what about the driving force behind the wooden boat…”

n“He was the one who did it.”

nLu Yan shook her head. “I used the Sword Aura to cut some trees to make the wooden raft. He did all the rest. I did not interfere too much.”

n“So, that was what happened.”

nZhao Yunshan suddenly understood.

nSure enough.

nHe knew that it was impossible that Lu Yan’s Sword Aura was that powerful?!

nHe knew it!

nHe was not too far from Lu Yan!

nHaha.

nThis was all done by Lu Ming…

nWait a minute.

nZhao Yunshan suddenly recovered his senses.

nOh.

nCrap!

nIf it was done by Lu Ming, wasn’t it more hurtful?! That was to say that Lu Ming defeated him with his own efforts in the assessment?!

nAt the thought of this…

nZhao Yunshan’s expression darkened.

n“My condolences.”

nNiu Xinghai was glad to see how things evolved.

nSeriously…

nIn the past when he worked with this baller, this guy would always pretend to be capable of annoying them. It was damn irritable. But what about now? He had been slapped in the face twice by Lu Ming!

nHe suddenly felt that it was nice to tag along to watch the fun. Well, he had to admit that the entrance fees were expensive…

nBut it was fun. Hahahaha!

nTo think that Zhao Yunshan would be in such a situation. Hahahahaha!

n…

nI am alright!

nI am in first place!

nThe two of them do not count!

nZhao Yunshan kept consoling himself.

nHowever, why was it that he felt so upset? He was a Card Creator. He did not need the legacy and it was useless to him. Why did he fight to be the first?!

nHe was indeed Lu Yan’s brother. He was just as exasperating as his sister!

n…

n“Not bad.”

nGao Tianlang ignored them.

nSo what if Lu Ming came in first?

nZhao Yunshan should be the best at this assessment. Hehe, it was embarrassing that other people ranked first.

nWhat mattered to him most was his younger sister’s development.

nShe had made good progress!

nAlthough it was due to the medicinal herbs that played a part, it was already something to be proud of. Moreover, she was able to undergo powerful body tempering in the river.

nHer physical quality was greatly improved!

nShe managed to catch up with Wu Hongfei!

nHe was very pleased!

nYes.

nGao Xiaoqing had managed to catch up with Wu Hongfei.

nAfter the efforts made in the second half of the river, as the nourishing energy in the river had greatly reduced, they could feel the impact made by the waves vividly. They had no choice but to slow down!

nAs for Gao Xiaoqing…

nHer medicine worked while she advanced and she managed to overtake Wu Hongfei.

nWu Hongfei also successfully achieved his original goal, which was not to be caught by an assistant! Because, in the end, there were two assistants that overtook him—

nThere were a total of two assistants.

n…

nAt this moment…

nEveryone took a short rest after which they proceeded to the third mountain.

nThere was nothing in this assessment. There were no snowstorms or rivers. It was just a plain mountain path. It seemed as if one only needed to take the mountain path to clear this assessment.

n“The third mountain…”

n“Assessment of talents…”

nBuzz—

nA thought swept over everyone. Lu Ming was keen to notice that the thought seemed to linger longer on him. The feeling…

nIt seemed to be wondering how he managed to get in.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nDamn!

nThese days, the remnant thoughts of Lunar Shadow would bully people as well?!

nLunar Shadow’s voice paused for a long while.

nAfter a long time…

nHe finally spoke up.

n“Full moon…”

n“Two-star peak…”

n“Driven by two-star power…”

n“The one who can comprehend it the best will be in first place…”

n…

nSwoosh!

nIn the mountain range in the far distance.

nA sudden light appeared and there were many shadows. A perfect arc was made in the air, a Sword Aura burst from his hands, shooting into the air, turning into a crescent moon.

nBuzz—

nThe full moon was dancing in the sky.

nThe effect was shocking.

nT-this was the full moon!

nBuzz—

nBuzz—

nMany full moons flashed in the mountain range.

n“This is the assessment of comprehension!”

n“He wants to assess our comprehension of Swordsman abilities!”

nEveryone finally understood.

n“Talent…”

nGao Tianlang’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

nFinally…

nFinally, it was his turn to shine!

nApart from Lu Yan, among the few Swordsmen present, he was the most talented person! His comprehension of the Swordsman abilities was already far above the veterans!

nNot to mention these people!

nFurthermore…

nFull moon was only at the two-star level!

nPerhaps taken into consideration the capability of Wang Xuan and the rest, the assessment was only at the two-star level. But even if it was two-star, he still was the most experienced!

nBuzz—

nA full moon flashed.

nGao Tianlang leaped and entered the assessment.

nShush!

nShush!

nHe could sense the aura of the full moon that surged past him. He released his Sword Aura from his hands, imitating the way the Sword Aura of the full moon worked, although it was clumsy…

n“It is very powerful!”

nZhao Yunshan and the rest were startled.

nIt was merely a full moon and he had only taken one look, yet he was able to imitate it?!

nAlthough they knew that he would take some time before he could execute the full moon, he had already taken the lead as he had an easy start!

nIt was only now, that they know how talented Gao Tianlang was in his swordsmanship!

nAs for them…

nZhao Yunshan took another look, but could not see anything special.

n“This…”

nWu Hongfei squinted. Wasn’t this merely a wheel?!

nIt must have become curved and due to the Sword Aura. But how were they supposed to join the curve together to form a circle?

nHe had no idea.

nHe could not understand as well.

n“Let’s try it.”

nHe entered and hacked at a full moon.

nBang!

nThe full moon scattered into pieces!

nWu Hongfei finally sensed the aura.

nTo the rest of them, they could only see the details simply through crossing swords with it. Zhao Yunshan and the rest of them began to study the full moon as well.

nShush!

nThe full moon kept appearing at the third mountain.

nBang!

nSomeone shattered it on the spot.

nSomeone sensed its energy, while some moved along the full moon.

nAll of them were learning.

nAll of them were cultivating.

nEven if they could not rank first, at the very least they would be able to master this ability.

n“It seems that this has nothing to do with us.”

nNiu Xinghai and the rest were full of emotions.

nThis was a Swordsman ability. They had no way to learn it. It was alright to tag along to strengthen one’s willpower and improve one’s physical fitness in the first two rounds. But there was nothing they could gain in this round.

n“That’s right.”

nThe five-star Card Creator believed so. He turned to see that Lu Ming had taken out his Original Card and waited secretly for a long while before he hit one of the full moons.

nShush!

nThe sealing was complete!

nThe five-star Card Creator was speechless.

nOh.

nThat was right.

nI am a Card Creator. I can perform sealing!

nAt the thought of this, he felt somewhat guilty. Why didn’t he think of it?

nIt was difficult to use the Original Card in the battle. Therefore, he had never considered it. He had indeed forgotten that this was not an actual battle but an assessment!

nAll the full moons had their own trajectory!

nThey moved in a single trajectory. Therefore, there was no need for one to adjust the angle. One only had to wait in the same spot with the Original Card!

n“Let me give it a try.”

nThe five-star Card Creator felt energized.

nShush!

nHe sealed a full moon and sensed it.

n——

nEnergy rating: Two-star.

nMovement method: Moon-like Sword Aura.

nEnergy requirement: Eight hundred points

nEnergy consumption: Eight hundred points.

n——

nOh.

nThe power and energy were at a one to one ratio.

nThe five-star Card Creator paused. The full moon seemed to be very powerful, but it was merely an ordinary skill?! He thought that it would at least be a surmounting ability!

nSigh.

nHe suddenly felt disappointed. He thought that he would be able to have a surmounting ability.

n“Ordinary ability…”

nLu Ming was just as disappointed.

nIt was too weak!

nEven if it was not a surmounting ability, it should at least be an advanced ability.

nHe felt dejected at the low energy consumption and requirement. Lunar Shadow was indeed so stingy that he was beyond hope!

nLu Ming was certain.

nThe veteran Lunar Shadow must have been the stingiest man among all the veterans!

n“What’s special about it is the way it operates.”

nLu Yan suddenly spoke up. “The ability might be ordinary, but it is a very meaningful ability. If you can master Moon-like Sword Aura, it will be very beneficial to your ability.”

n“I know.” Lu Ming nodded slightly.

nIndeed.

nThis was a brand new Sword Aura working method. It would have a lot of significance to master it!

nHowever…

nIt was useless to him!

nForget it.

nLu Ming thought about it.

nWho cared!

nHe could seal it and give it to Xiaobai, telling her that this was the local product that he brought back from the Lunar Shadow legacy. She would be very happy to have it.

n…

nAt the legacy site.

nAt one of the mountains.

nThe white-haired old man who looked as if he had kidney problems seemed melancholic.

nWhen the third assessment was activated, he made use of the rules to scan the inheritors, and to sense their cultivation level!

nWhy was there be a two-star cultivator among them?!

nWhy was this person an inheritor?

nWhen he designed this assessment, the rules were that he would provide an ability in the legacy according to the lowest cultivation level among the inheritors, so that the inheritors who could not pass would still be able to benefit from it.

nThere were all kinds of powerful Swordsman abilities here.

nHowever…

nIt turned out that there was a two-star among them!

nSeriously…

nIt had been a long time since he saw a two-star.

nThis was because even if there were two-star cultivators, they would have achieved three-star after going through the twelve trials previously. This was what he had designed right from the start.

nHowever…

nNothing changed.

nThis guy was still a two-star.

nFurthermore, he had just achieved two-star.

nWhat had the guy been doing during the twelve trials previously?!

nPerhaps he joined the legacy as a one-star?

nHe found it baffling!

nTherefore…

nIn order to search for an ability that would match the guy’s learning progress, he searched through all the abilities within the legacy and finally found a basic ability!

nIt was too weak!

nAs for the rest?

nSince this was the rule, they had to comply!

nForget it, they had to blame it on themselves for being unlucky.

nThe old man was expressionless.
