nThe third mountain.
nLu Ming was working hard on creating the cards.
nWhile he was waiting for the assessment to end, he had already integrated the Full Moon seven times. Anyway, he only needed to turn his back to them and release his Original Card secretly.
nIt was pretty easy.
nShush!
nShush!
nA brand new card appeared on Lu Ming’s hands.
n——
nEnergy rating: Two-star.
nMovement method: Moon-like Sword Aura.
nEnergy requirement: Two thousand five hundred points
n——
nThis was the new card.
nHe had no idea what effect it would have. But without a doubt, this was a two-star limit card!It was far more powerful than the current Full Moon!
nInitially, he did not really want to use a new card.
nIt was because he was worried that others could tell the shape of his thoughts… it was too ugly! But on careful thought, this was an assessment of one’s talents, it should have nothing to do with the thoughts.
nHence…
nLu Ming made the strike.
nHe walked to the stele and activated the card.
nSwoosh!
nLights flashed.
nAn awe-inspiring Sword Aura that was condensed by energy burst and became a delicate and compact circular shape, it cut at the stele, making a large emptying sound.
nThe shape…
nThe radian…
nWait a minute.
nEveryone felt that something was not quite right, this appearance… seemed to be a compact disc?!
nYes.
nThe full moon released by Lu Ming looked like a compact disc!
nLu Ming looked grim. He did not use his thoughts. The full moon became a compact disc after it evolved!
nMust be freaking kidding me?!
nBang!
nNew data appeared on the stele—180%!
nBuzz—
nAll the data disappeared.
nThe ranking appeared on the stele in accordance with the respective pictures of their Lunar Shadow Cards. The picture of the Lunar Shadow Card that Lu Yan and her brother had was ranked first!
nLu Ming: First place.
n180%!
nA shocking figure!
nEven Gao Tianlang, the swordsmanship expert only managed to have 110% within such a short period of time. However, a Card Creator was able to reach 180%!
nHow could this be possible?!
nPerhaps he had sealed the full moon in the assessment?
nNo.
nThe shape was different.
nAfter all…
nTheirs was a full moon, while his was a compact disc.
n“Impossible.”
nThe five-star Card Creator shook his head. “I have tried it. After sealing the full moon, the power was only about 30%.”
nYes.
nIt was only about 30%.
nAfter all, they were only Card Creators and they could not grasp the essence. The full moon in the third assessment had danced in the air for a long time. By the time they sealed it, it had already weakened!
nBesides, even if they replicated it perfectly, it would only reach 30 to 40%. Why did he reach 180%?
nAlso…
nDidn’t Lu Ming laze around with them just now?
nWhen did he learn it?!
nThis feeling was very upsetting. It was like when they were in school and everyone complained that they had done badly on the exams, however, he would turn out to rank first in the exam…
nWhere was his shame?
n“I don’t understand swordsmanship.”
nLu Ming was modest. “But I would watch when my sister practiced and I understood a bit of it. I did not go to any extra trouble, but I changed the lines slightly when I created the cards.”
nLines…
nAlteration…
nWas it that simple?
nBefore coming here, they heard that the strongest fighting vocation of The First Academy had been chosen and it was the Card Creator. Did it mean that a Card Creator was the strongest fighting vocation?
nEveryone looked toward the five-star Card Creator of The First Academy.
nThe five-star Card Creator felt embarrassed.
nSeriously…
nHe knew how to change the lines.
nBut he had to go through numerous tests and optimization experiments before he chose a more suitable altered effect.
nWhat did he mean by did not go to extra trouble?!
nPerhaps Lu Ming had inherited the ancient Card Creator legacy?
nWell…
nThat was possible!
n“It was really…”
nEveryone was silent.
nIt turned out that when Lu Yan delegated the task to her brother, she was not looking down on them. Lu Ming was capable of doing it.
nOne felt upset at the thought of it.
nAt this very moment…
nWu Hongfei had mixed feelings.
nIt was fine that Lu Yan was gifted in swordsmanship. But as a Card Creator, why did Lu Ming have such superb swordsmanship?!
nIt would be too wasteful!
nIf the gift was given to him…
nAh!
nDamn genes!
nBut then again, was the genetic gap so huge? What about his future children? Would they lose at the starting line? Should he find someone to change his genes for the next generation? He supposed it was impossible with Lu Yan… well, the Gao family seemed to have good genes. Perhaps he should try it with Gao Xiaoqing?
nWu Hongfei suddenly had clarity of mind.
n…
n“Old Zhao, aren’t you upset?”
nNiu Xinghai smiled at his companion.
n“Get lost!”
nZhao Yunshan sounded angry. “Why should I be upset? This pair of brother and sister are devils. I am no longer upset. Anyway, I admit that I am just average!
nHehe.
nIt’s those that are talented that should be embarrassed.”
nTherefore, everyone looked toward Gao Tianlang.
n“Brother?”
nXiaoqing was slightly worried.
nHowever…
nTo everyone’s surprise, a lot of emotions flashed across Gao Tianlang’s face, but he eventually calmed down. Perhaps, he was used to being defeated by Lu Yan. He was better able to withstand pressure now.
n“You should learn swordsmanship.”
nGao Tianlang sounded very serious when he spoke to Lu Ming.
nSeriously…
nGiven his talent, it was a pity not to learn it.
nLu Ming coughed.
nLearn swordsmanship?
nHe himself knew whether he was gifted or not.
nBesides, he realized that Gao Tianlang and his younger sister Gao Xiaoqing were sincere and honest people, he felt embarrassed to bully them.
nLet bygones be bygones. They should forget about the bulls!
n…
nAfter a short rest…
nEveryone proceeded to the fourth mountain.
nPerhaps they had been dealt a harsh blow, the atmosphere was heavy. No one made a single sound when they proceeded to the next mountain.
nThere was a shocking scene in front of them.
nSwoosh!
nSwoosh!
nCountless Sword Auras appeared in front of them!
nNumerous Sword Auras plunged down from above, they seemed like sharp swords that dropped from the sky, falling straight onto the fourth mountain, stabbing into the ground!
nIt was like a mountain full of Sword Auras!
nThere were endless Sword Auras!
nThe huge fourth mountain was covered with Sword Auras!
n“This…”
nEveryone was astonished.
nThey had never seen such a shocking sight!
nTens of…
nHundreds of…
nThousands of…
n…
nEndless!
nEvery Sword Aura was perfectly inserted into the ground.
n“It is very powerful.”
nLu Yan was surprised as well.
nIt was like a mountain full of Sword Auras! It would cost a lot!
nPreviously, she was already somewhat surprised by the snowstorm that was full of sword intent. But looking at the sky full of Sword Auras, she knew that she had underestimated veteran Lunar Shadow!
nThe assessments were extensive…
nWhat kind of legacy was this?!
nEveryone was startled.
nRight then…
nThey never had such burning gazes.
nIt was too powerful!
nThe legacy…
nThey had to get it!
n“Children… Gather as many Sword Auras as possible…”
nLunar Shadow’s voice sounded.
nGather?
nWu Hongfei had an idea.
nThis word…
nBang!
nHe stepped into the assessment area and smashed one Sword Aura to pieces. The Sword Aura turned into a stream of light and entered the Sword Embryo.
nBuzz—
nLights danced.
nHis Sword Embryo had become stronger!
n“Sword Aura tempering!”
nWu Hongfei was elated.
nYes.
nSword Aura tempering!
nThe sky full of Sword Auras was an assessment as well as good preparation.
nThis time round, the assessment was no longer about the body or the thought, it was about the basics of a Swordsman—Sword Embryo!
nAlthough the Sword Auras were being protected by some special barriers, so that it could be permanently inserted into the ground, as long as the barriers were broken, the Sword Aura would be integrated into the Sword Embryo, strengthening it! According to Lunar Shadow’s instructions, the person who had the most Sword Auras would most likely get the legacy!
n“Let’s go!”
nGao Tianlang and the rest joined in as well.
nThis time, they would not waste any time!
nSwoosh!
nThe sword gleam flashed.
nA lot of Sword Auras were being destroyed.
nIt was just that…
nGao Tianlang paused.
nHe could clearly feel that among those Sword Auras that were destroyed, those that were further away and closer to the finishing point contained more Sword Auras. It was a few times more than those at the front!
nTherefore…
nIf he wanted to get the most Sword Auras and to have the best tempering effect…
n“Let’s go!”
nGao Tianlang took his sister with him and dashed to the finishing point without hesitation.
nHe had to start from the finishing point!
nHe would have the best effect if he started destroying the barriers at the finishing point!
nZhao Yunshan and the rest were in a daze before they quickly recovered themselves and dashed to the finishing point. They randomly destroyed a few Sword Auras along the way, and true enough, there were more as they moved further ahead! When they were halfway there, the Sword Auras that could be integrated were already ten times that of those at the starting point!
nSince that was the case, those at the finishing point…
nCharge!
nCharge!
nCharge!
nEveryone dashed to the finishing point.
nNiu Xinghai and the other assistants could not help but charge forward. There were no rewards for them in the previous round, how could they miss out on the rewards in this round.
nAlthough it was Sword Aura…
nWell…
nThe auxiliary vocations had their individual cores as well!
nBang!
nThe fireball in the hands of the six-star Elementalist exploded and he destroyed ten Sword Auras in one go, revealing a thrilled look on his face.
nThe Sword Aura tempering…
nWas effective on the magic core as well!
n“Let’s go!”
nHe dashed toward the finishing point.
nBuzz—
nIn Niu Xinghai’s hands…
nA worm climbed onto one of the Sword Aura, gnawing away the barrier. The Sword Aura rushed into the worm, making it look intoxicated.
nIt had absorbed the Sword Aura.
n“Hehe.
nIt seems that other than the Sword Embryo, it is useful to the cores of all the other vocations.”
nNiu Xinghai was thrilled.
nShush!
nEveryone rushed to the finishing point, including the five-star Card Creator.
nNo one would miss this.
nThey made the correct decision instantly—reverse absorption! This was similar to what Lu Ming did when he tempered his body in the river!
nHe headed to the finishing point before he absorbed the energy.
nVery soon…
nAll of them disappeared from Lu Ming’s sight.
nThe fourth mountain was very huge, they could vaguely see the fifth mountain in the far distance. Perhaps, this was the biggest blessing that Lunar Shadow left for the Swordsmen!
n…
nAfter a long time…
nThey had finally reached the finishing point.
nBang!
nBang!
nEveryone was excited.
nThey did their best to attack the Sword Auras.
nThe Sword Auras over here were much stronger and deeply rooted than those at the starting point. They had to use all their strength to destroy one Sword Aura. However, the effect was one hundred times higher than those at the starting point!
nBuzz—
nThe Sword Aura tempered the cores.
nEveryone was shocked.
nIt was a rare chance!
nIt was the biggest blessing!
nNo one would attack someone else, as there was an abundance of Sword Auras here!
nThe fourth mountain seemed to be infinite. Even at the finishing point, it was wide enough for everyone to have their own area to work on. No one needed to fight with each other over the Sword Auras!
nBang!
nBang!
nThere was a glowing radiance on everyone’s face.
n“My Sword Embryo is steadier!”
nWu Hongfei was thrilled.
nThe Sword Embryo in his hands had already achieved concretion!
nThis was his weapon as well!
nThe weapon that used to be flawed as he was seriously injured became flawless and it was stronger and more powerful!
n“My Original Card is stronger!”
nThe five-star Card Creator was ecstatic.
nHe worked hard for a long time to create a powerful card. He finally destroyed a Sword Aura and the Original Card was being tempered! In that case, would the lines drawn by the Original Card be more stable?
n“My array core has become stronger.”
nGao Xiaoqing was excited.
nShe did not expect that as an Array Master, she would have such a rare opportunity!
nThis assessment…
nShe had gained a lot from it!
nRight then…
nEveryone was very diligent.
nEveryone had forgotten about the competition or to think about the ranking. All they were interested in was to keep improving!
nWhile Wang Xuan was absorbing the Sword Aura, he suddenly thought of Lu Ming. He was nowhere to be seen at the finishing point!
nIt was not scientific at all!
nThis was a great chance to increase one’s capability, why would Lu Ming give up on this?
nHow could that be possible?
nWhat was he doing?
nAfter a long time…
nJust when they had cleared a small area of Sword Auras, and everyone’s core had been improved, they could feel a strong vibration!
nBuzz—
nThe Sword Auras kept vibrating.
nBang!
nThe ground was shaking, the entire fourth mountain was shaking!
nWhat’s the matter???
nEveryone was in shock.
nThey wondered what had happened in this assessment!
nWang Xuan who had been through this came to a realization, this was…
n“Retreat!”
nHe yelled, retreating to the finishing point with his third uncle.
nThe rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
nBut seeing the terrified look on Wang Xuan’s face, they did not dare to loiter.
nShush!
nShush!
nEveryone retreated to the finishing point.
nRight then, many cracks appeared in the ground. The Sword Auras that were being deeply entrenched shook crazily, exploding all of a sudden.
nBang!
nBang!
nAll of the Sword Auras burst!
nThe fourth mountain was collapsing!
n
