Chapter 217 - Not Only Dashing But Also Has a Good Personali
Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
The building had turned into ruins.
Smoke and dust permeated the air.
The five-star cultivators were unscathed and extremely silent at this moment. An indescribable and strange expression emerged on each of their faces.
Furious, the cultivator who caught the python was trembling all over.
It was true.
Their massive five-star team had exhausted all their efforts, means and used various equipment and tactics, only to almost die here for the sake of a one-star spirit body?
But, look at the outcome!
They had caught it but damn, what was this joke?!
They felt upset at the sight of the dimension data on the screen…
Must be freaking kidding me?!
In his memory, the python could conquer the building when it first struck. Why was it that so little of it was left after advancing to six-star?
And right then.
A cultivator who did not catch the python suddenly laughed.
“Tsk tsk.”
He walked to him and took a closer look at the spirit body on the screen, especially at the size of the little green snake, for a long time. He then said regretfully, “This little thing looks very exquisite.”
That cultivator who captured the snake trembled with rage. The two of them almost entered into a brawl on the spot.
They really could not figure out what happened.
This was such a fine python. Why did it become a one-star now?
Although it was a one-star spirit body, it was still a valuable spirit body. However, it was of a completely different level from the six-star spirit body, alright?!
To hell with it!
Do you have to make me rear it from its birth?
He suffered from a complete mental breakdown.
…
At this very moment…
Under the ruins, amongst the ore vein…
The Original Card was suspended in the air. On its left and right, two gushes of ultrapowers were swirling like taiji (Taiji is a Chinese cosmological concept for the flux of yin and yang), tempering and strengthening the Original Card constantly!
After a long time…
Along with the departure of the python, the sinister aura disappeared gradually.
Buzz—
Fan Ze’s tempering also stopped gradually.
“Phew.”
The Original Card regained its consciousness.
A gush of powerful aura suddenly appeared.
“Haha! I’ve become stronger!”
The Original Card transmitted its thoughts clearly.
Finally…
It was no longer that weak!
It was once a noble and elegant sword spirit in a powerful sword, unlike now, where it was embedded in a weak and small card…
Thankfully…
After tempering, it had finally become powerful!
It had surpassed an ordinary Sword Embryo!
“Have you become more powerful?”
Lu Ming was also thrilled.
“Of course.”
The Original Card was very proud of itself.
However, very soon, it realized what Lu Ming meant and instantly panicked. “I can’t…”
It was a pity…
Before its thoughts could be transmitted…
Bam!
Lu Ming’s huge feet had already stepped onto it.
Bang!
The Original Card was trampled onto the ground directly, leaving a card print on the ground…
“It still doesn’t work.”
Lu Ming was disappointed.
It could not even fly. How was it more powerful?
The Original Card endured the urge to self-erupt.
Scoundrel!
My stability and hardness are strengthened, okay?!
Calm down!
Now that its powers had increased and it had hopes of regaining its peak, how could it self-erupt because of such a small matter…
Calm down!
It was furious!
Prosperity, democracy, civility…
“The python’s aura is gone.”
Lu Ming looked above his head.
“Of course.”
Fan Ze sneered coldly and said, “Humph, those spirit body hunters are not fools. Of course, they know that they should strike when we restrain the python…”
He had a wealth of experience and had fought many battles. Therefore, he was very familiar with such things.
However…
It was a sheer pity.
He looked behind him. That ore vein was already destroyed.
He did not know how many people he had killed for the sake of this ore vein. He had even thought of murdering Lu Ming to silence him. Unexpectedly, it was useless now…
It was because he fought the python!
It was for the sake of tempering the Original Card!
He retrieved the entire powers of the ore vein in order to match the six-star powers of the python…
Otherwise, how could he fight a six-star?!
However…
This was good too.
He no longer needed to be worried and frightened!
Without the restraint of the ore veins, Fan Ze actually felt more carefree than ever. The shackles which followed him like a shadow seemed to have disappeared at this very moment!
Bang!
The shackle that had accompanied him for an unknown period of time suddenly had a breakthrough.
Fan Ze had attained a breakthrough to five-star!
“Success.”
Fan Ze looked nonchalant.
Over these few days, he went through the situations of life-and-death many times. In the end, he attained a breakthrough.
He was neither joyful nor sorrowful.
“Thank you.”
Fan Ze simply thanked Lu Ming without any hesitation.
If not for Lu Ming, he would not possibly have discovered the few times when people barged in. That set of warning restrictions had helped him a great deal!
If not for Lu Ming, he would have long been dead. How would he be a five-star then?
Lu Ming was his lucky star!
“I owe you too much.”
Fan Ze’s expression was solemn.
“No! No!”
Lu Ming was very frantic.
Cultivators nowadays were really too polite.
It was true.
He analyzed it in detail. First, he stole Old Fan’s ore vein, almost killing him. Afterward, he demolished his house. Now, even the entire ore vein was gone…
Old Fan was still thanking him.
T-this made him feel very helpless…
After a long time…
The duo stepped out from underground.
Since the ore vein had already disappeared, they did not need to worry about this place anymore. When they went up, most of those five-star cultivators were gone.
The matter of the python spirit body had also come to a close.
“I have to leave.”
Fan Ze left behind his contact number. “Contact me if you need anything!”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
Quickly leave then. Fan Ze’s presence made him extremely flustered.
“Don’t worry. I’m just leaving to settle something in my mind.”
Fan Ze sighed. “It has been on my mind many days and nights while I was fearful of being killed and captured. Now that I’ve attained a breakthrough, I have to finish this off personally!”
Upon finishing his words…
He left in a breeze.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming maintained his faint smile.
Bro, hurry up and leave. No one is asking you.
However, just at this moment, his heart flipped. He thought of a possibility. The more he thought about it, the more strange his expression became.
After a long time…
He opened the communication device and scrolled down his list of good friends.
Well…
He simply made a call.
“Bro, do you have a lot of enemies?”
“It’s not too bad.”
“Well…”
Lu Ming paused for a moment. “I just received news that a five-star Energy Warrior seems to have lost something before and he is looking for you to settle scores…”
“Huh?”
Chu Xiao was bewildered.
Seeking revenge?!
However…
He did not remember which five-star Energy Warrior he had offended before!
“I’m not quite sure too.”
Lu Ming put it across lightly. “Wasn’t there a huge fight involving a spirit body at Qing Ming City? I heard from some people unintentionally. He may have just attained a breakthrough. Anyway, you have to be careful…”
“Okay.”
Chu Xiao was filled with gratitude. “Thanks!”
Look.
This was Lu Yan’s younger brother, indeed!
He was not only dashing but also had a good personality!
In the past, he was supposed to protect him but was saved by him several times in the end…
Sigh.
There were fewer and fewer of such pure people nowadays.
He hung up the phone.
Chu Xiao focused his gaze afar. Haha. Five-star Energy Warrior, right?
Come on!
…
Qing Ming City.
The city.
Most of the five-star cultivators had returned.
Each of them was filled with despair. It was true. The appearance of a one-star little snake made them feel like a fool at the village next door who had worked hard for nothing.
“Sell it!”
That cultivator who caught the snake wanted to sell it but only fetched the price of a one-star spirit body!
He was instantly furious.
“This guy is supposed to be a six-star python, do you know that?”
“But it’s a one-star now.”
“It has unlimited potential and can definitely reach seven-star!”
“But it’s a one-star now.”
“It is very intelligent and definitely not an ordinary spirit body.”
“But it’s a one-star now.”
“Have you played games before? This little snake is akin to an extremely well-endowed pet now. It’s just that you have to rear it from the scratch…”
“That’s still a one-star!”
…
He could not continue to negotiate anymore.
The cultivator who caught the snake was enraged.
He was often out to capture spirit bodies and had caught spirit bodies of all levels. Would he really care about the money fetched from a one-star spirit body? It was more because he felt indignant!
He was indignant that such a spirit body could only be sold at a one-star price!
However…
What else could they do?
They had worked so hard. No matter what, they had to recover their cost…
“Sell it!” he gritted his teeth and said.
He had already been down on his luck today. How much more unlucky could he get?
He wanted to end this as soon as possible!
“Okay.”
The buyer was very thrilled too.
They rarely encountered spirit bodies in this area. Therefore, it took out his testing equipment to check it very seriously. His face darkened. “You’re such a bad guy. You actually used a dead snake…”
That person was dumbstruck.
Dead snake?!
Shush!
He looked at his spirit body trap and was shocked to discover that the little snake inside was not moving anymore. There were also changes in the spirit body data…
Spirit body state: Dead
Dead?!
Those people’s eyes widened.
“You guys are too evil. The python must have suffered grievous injuries. That’s why it weakened and degraded continuously, and finally died.”
The buyer was very emotional.
He had heard of some people selling pets that often had hidden illnesses and many problems arose after buying them home. Unexpectedly, the spirit body industry had also become like that.
Where was the trust between humans?
That man left the shop in a trance.
It turned out that…
The python had suffered grievous injuries?
Therefore…
They might have been too harsh when they attacked it earlier?
Well…
A huge group of five-star cultivators from various teams. Each of them erupted their most powerful ability. Perhaps the python could not withstand being ravaged by that many people…
It then died afterward.
Click!
He opened the spirit body trap.
He took out the little green snake and swung it in his hands…
Oh.
It was really dead.
It was not even shaking anymore…
Bam!
Bam!
It swung it a few times and used his powerful five-star sense of perception to sweep across it. He then used the spirit body trap to scan it. He finally confirmed that it was dead!
However…
Damn. He was too miserable!
He had said that he would not possibly become unluckier. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the peak of his bad luck and even a one-star spirit body was not left for him.
It was really…
Buzz—
Lights dissipated.
Without the protection of the spirit body trap, the dead soul would eventually dissipate.
“What does this mean?”
He did not stop it.
It was already dead. What was the point of having a corpse?
He was distraught.
The one-star spirit body was gone. He had gained nothing from the operation this time. How unfortunate could he possibly be?
He mocked himself.
And right then.
Buzz—
The spirit body turned into lights and dissipated.
Suddenly…
The glowing green hues that were dissipating trembled and a slight tremor could be felt. Afterward, it transformed into a beam of green light and disappeared at the end of the street.
That person was dumbstruck. He then came to a realization.
Damn!
He had been tricked!
Although this little green snake was a one-star, it was once a six-star after all. One could not treat it ordinarily. The ability that it had used earlier was most likely…
The special ability of a snake – Feigning death!
It deceived the machine!
It deceived their sense of perception!
Damn it!
He had been thinking that a one-star spirit body could not possibly bluff him but had forgotten that this chap was initially a six-star…
“Damn!”
He chased it furiously.
“Old Wang, Old Zhou. Hurry! The spirit body has escaped!”
“Huh?”
“Don’t huh. Bring your things and follow me quickly!”
Hence…
The few of them went out again to catch the little green snake.
At this very moment…
The little green snake, which was on the run, was also panicking.
Although it feigned death and tricked them, it was after all only one-star. Dashing everywhere, especially on the streets of Qing Ming City, was simply courting death!
Dee—
Dee—
Many people’s sensors were glowing brightly.
“Crap!”
“There seems to be a spirit body nearby!”
“Is that true? Don’t tell me it appeared again?”
Everyone was delighted.
The little green snake was more frantic. Seeing that more and more people were chasing it, it fled rampantly. Suddenly, it saw a seemingly faint gap at a certain place…
Oh.
That place…
Swoosh!
It dashed towards it at a lightning speed.
However…
That gap was not large and its body was still slightly bigger. It was thus hard for it to enter the gap. Therefore, it shook its body and squeezed into the gap forcefully.
Swoosh!
There was a flash of green.
It disappeared into the gap completely.
…
At this very moment…
Those people chasing it looked at the disappearing data on the sensor with perplexed expressions.
“Eh?”
“Why is it gone?”
“Did anyone see it? I don’t know.”
“Based on the data on the sensor, it seems to be a one-star that has just been condensed and is extremely unstable. With so many people chasing it, I reckon that it’ll die easily.”
“Alright.”
Everyone could only leave in disappointment.
…
“What is happening?”
Li Haoran looked at the cultivators with a dumbstruck expression.
“Another spirit body seems to have appeared?”
The teenager in black pursed his lips.
“Again?!”
Li Haoran felt his heart aching.
Damn it!
Why didn’t he encounter any?!
He had come here because he heard about the python. Unfortunately, all the four-star cultivator teams were annihilated and only the five-star cultivators were qualified to fight. He could only give up!
But now…
He did not expect another spirit body to appear!
And he was the last one to find out again…
That was such a joke!
“Haha.”
The teenager in black laughed at him. “Don’t you believe that sincerity will make a thing come true? Continue to recite, then!”
He was delighted and happy to see this.
He did not know why the hell this fool believed in Lu Ming. Every now and then, he would take out that Original Card and recite to it. ‘Original Card, Original Card, you have grown up…’
That was so embarrassing!
How old was he already?!
“Isn’t it because I’m not talented enough?”
Li Haoran smiled embarrassingly.
If he had senior sister and second senior brother’s talent, he might not need to work that hard.
“Haha.”
The teenager in black pursed his lips.
In the past, Li Haoran was extremely confident of his peerless talent, okay? After coming to his senses, why did he always seem so humble?
Sigh.
He did not know if this was a good or bad thing.
“Let’s go back.”
Seeing that the farce had come to an end, they returned to the hotel after having a meal.
In the room.
Li Haoran took out the Original Card in a familiar manner.
As usual, he began to recite, “Original Card, Original Card, you have grown up. You are a mature Original Card, you have to learn to cultivate by yourself…”
“Idiot.”
The teenager in black rolled his eyes rampantly.
However…
Just as he finished his words…
Lights were flashed on Li Haoran’s Original Card.
Buzz—
There was a layer of fluorescence on the Original Card. Green lights were shining fervently in between those gaps, and the Original Card was moving…
Crap!
The teenager in black was stunned!
Eh?
Li Haoran was even more astounded.
It was a success!
Hahahaha!
Sure enough, it appeared!
The Original Card of I, Li Haoran, has finally given birth to a card spirit!
Hahahaha!
He knew that master would not lie to him!
