Chapter 244 - Girl, Do You Have a Misconception about Looks?

Zi Yang Combat College.

At the school entrance.

A crowd had formed for a long time.

Onlookers outside the school were watching the fun, so were the students who were in the school. However, everyone fell silent at this moment as they stared at that young lady in shock.

It turned out that…

This young lady was that powerful?!

“Senior sister is amazing!”

Xiaoyan and Li Haoran shouted at the same time.

They knew that senior sister was quite formidable and it would not be much of a problem for her to defeat some freshmen. Nevertheless, never did they expect their senior sister to be that stunning when she made her moves!

According to rumors…

Only a true man would not turn around and look at the explosions…

He had not expected senior sister to have already reached such a level.

As tumultuous as the battle will get, I will never look back…

Wow!

That was simply dashing!

Of course.

As the first batch of the Sword Card Master disciples, they were very clear that the credit also went to the card spirit!

“Xiao-Xiaolei, did you see that?” Xiao-Xiaolei said softly.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

There seemed to be faint flashes of lightning in his body.

“Xiao-Xiaoshé, did you see that?”

Li Haoran was elated.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Faint green lights were shining on his head.

“Haha.”

In Lu Ming’s card bag, the Original Card was extremely bored as he watched the match through a hole.

Haha, Lu Ming, this girl-doting demon…

Is Xiaobai participating in the match?!

Right from the beginning, did Xiaobai make any move?!

Xiao-Xiaobai is the one fighting all along, okay?

Last night, this shameless guy even asked Xiao-Xiaobai to go into his room and then brainwashed it. That idiotic Xiao-Xiaobai actually believed him!

Hehe.

What a low IQ spirit body body…

“Shut up!”

Lu Ming glanced at the streak of glow in the card bag. “I’ll throw you into the Sea of Consciousness if you spout nonsense again.”

Shush!

The Original Card was silent.

At the venue.

There was also total silence.

After the spectacular defeat of that two-star Assassin, there was no one else.

Xiaobai swept her eyes across the surroundings. Seemingly, no one else was coming up. She contemplated the scene for a moment and, according to her master’s instructions, she blocked the entrance of the college!

Afterward…

In a demeanor which she thought was arrogant and domineering, she hollered, “Who else?”

Pfft!

The people from Zi Yang Combat College almost spewed out blood.

What the hell was that demeanor?!

Wait a minute!

At this time, shouldn’t she be hollering furiously in a tone full of dominance, “Who else?!”

That was arrogance!

That was the way to go, alright!

If that were what had happened, they could have admitted defeat. After all, their abilities could not be contended with hers.

However, in front of them was a little girl who had shouted with a slightly babyish voice… Such a tone. Wasn’t it usually used by people to act cute?

The most tragic thing was…

There was no one who dared to challenge her!

Such feelings of humiliation…

A-argh!

Everyone from Zi Yang Combat College had a complete mental breakdown.

“Don’t be too much!”

One of the teachers took a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked at Lu Ming. “These freshmen have just entered the college and here for less than six months. What’s the point of bullying them?!”

“Get the second-year students to come then.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“Second year?”

The teacher was stunned.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming looked at Xiaobai. “This child has been too proud. I can’t let her go on like this, right? If you could have defeated her earlier, that would have been good. However…

She has never lost to her peers.”

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.

The teacher’s blood pressure was rising. He suppressed the impulse to strangle Lu Ming and asked, “Are you sure that you want our second-year students to fight her? There are three-stars amongst our second-year students!”

Alright.

The second-year students had studied in the college for eighteen months!

Some of the talented ones had already reached three-star!

As for Xiaobai?

She was only a three-star!

Facing the freshmen, she might have the upper hand due to her level. However, facing students from various vocations who had just entered the three-star beginner level, how was she going to beat them?

“How do you know before even trying?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“Sure.”

The teacher took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, “Get the second-year students to fight.”

“But…”

The other teacher furrowed his brows. It was not honorable for the two-stars to win either.

“Get them to fight!” that teacher said coldly.

Even if it was not that glorious, it was better than losing!

The freshmen could not beat her, what else could they do besides getting the second-year students to fight? Believe it or not, Lu Ming would say ‘Your second-year students are that cowardly?’

Fight!

He also wanted to see how powerful this young lady was?!

Three-star…

“I’ll do it!”

One teenager walked toward Xiaobai in a calm and composed manner.

“He is so handsome!”

“It’s actually him!”

“I didn’t expect him to be the first one…”

Some clamoring could be heard from the crowd.

Obviously…

Unlike those freshmen, he was quite powerful. Furthermore, due to his good looks, he was quite famous in the college!

“My apologies.”

He walked over politely and gracefully. “I shouldn’t take action. However… This year, we really don’t have any freshmen that match this young lady’s outstanding talent!”

Well…

The teachers from Zi Yang College were very satisfied.

Look at the standard of his speech…

He put behind the earlier fights with just one sentence. He even explained that it was not because the college was not good but that the girl was too extraordinary!

He even praised Xiaobai in passing.

And his tone…

Well…

Gentle, elegant…

Many junior sisters’ eyes were already filled with little stars.

He was too awesome!

At this moment…

That teenager cast a gentle gaze at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai looked up and looked at him in the eye. Instantly, she lowered her head, looking somewhat embarrassed. “That… Don’t look at me like that…”

“Why?”

A faint smile emerged at the corner of that teenager’s mouth.

“Because it’s too ugly…”

Slightly embarrassed, Xiaobai said, “When people are ugly and they look at people like that… It feels very satyric… It makes me feel like beating someone up.”

Shush!

The expression on the teenager froze immediately.

Ugly…

Ugly?!

Damn!

Although he was not that tall, handsome and charming, he was also considered quite dashing. Coupled with his outstanding charisma, he was certainly one of the widely-recognized hunks in the school!

But now?

Ugly?!

Someone actually said that he was ugly?

Since he was a child, this was the first time that someone said that he was ugly!

“Lady.”

A smile emerged on his stiff face. “Your verbal abuse is too much…”

“No.”

Xiaobai said seriously, “You’re really ugly.”

The teenager was silent. “I don’t know what your definition of handsome is…”

Right then…

Xiaobai glanced at Lu Ming quietly.

The teenager raised his head and took a glance at Lu Ming, he then fell silent for a moment.

“Excuse me.”

However…

He was ultimately very young and could not help but retort, “Miss Xiaobai, you have to know. In this world, it’s not just black or white or handsome or ugly. There’s a group of people who may not be as good-looking as your master but are also considered handsome…”

“Huh?”

Xiaobai looked confused. “Aren’t they ugly then?”

The teenager was speechless.

These words were too logical and he actually could not respond back them!

In a certain corner.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card was glowingly fervently in the card bag.

Hahahaha!

You actually discussed looks with Xiaobai!

Don’t you know that only two kinds of looks exist in her mind. Lu Ming and the rest… Hahahaha, she even considers Jiang Feng ugly. What are you?!

Lmao 1.Laughing my ass off hahaha!

Hence…

At the entrance of the college.

There was an awkward and yet polite atmosphere.

The onlookers outside the college almost could not contain their laughter. The students in the college turned around, feeling somewhat awkward. The senior was too embarrassing this time.

Why do you have to compare him with others in terms of looks?

Why can’t you focus on the competition?!

“Miss Xiaobai. Please pardon me.”

The teenager regained his calm composure and prepared to strike.

He was different from those ordinary teenagers. He had a wide knowledge and was quite experienced. Of course, he would not fly into a rage just because he felt humiliated.

Hence…

He condensed his energy and struck with all his might.

“Lady. Please remember my name. I am…”

The teenager made a move.

Crash!

The Original Card flashed.

The teenager was lying on the ground quietly.

Shush!

The whole world was silent.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiaobai was silent.

The students were dumbfounded.

“Carry him down the stage. Carry him down the stage.”

The teacher immediately instructed the medical workers to carry him away.

Oh my goodness!

It was too embarrassing!

Why can’t you put on a proper fight?

Why do you have to peacock?!

You dropped to the ground before even saying your name, it’s really…

“I’ll do it,”

A burly man stepped out.

Although he looked young, he was tall and burly. He looked like a defender and his entire body emanated with energy and a powerful aura.

“Young lady, pardon me.”

He said in a low voice, “I’ll apologize to you later…”

Crash!

The Original Card flashed.

The burly man was dangling off the wall, defeated.

Shush!

The whole world was silent.

Wow…

Laughter could be heard from outside the school.

Obviously…

The words of these two big brothers, in contrast with their abilities, were certainly funny. On the other hand, the people from Zi Yang College wore flustered expressions.

It was too embarrassing!

Why did the two of them say so much useless crap?!

They wouldn’t be that embarrassing if they lost the fight directly…

It was really…

“Remember. Cut the crap when you’re up there.”

The teacher’s face was ghastly pale.

“Yes.”

Another student went onto the stage.

This time, he did not waste any breath on useless talk. He simply launched an attack on Xiaobai. However…

Crash!

The Original Card flashed.

He still flew off the stage in one go.

He changed to someone else!

Crash!

It was changed to someone else again!

Crash!

One by one, figures were sent flying out of the venue, lying down.

That young lady merely stood there, without moving an inch.

Everyone was stunned.

Just at this moment, they finally realized that this young lady’s combat ability was really shocking! She could actually defeat so many three-star cultivators just by controlling her Original Card!

At this very moment…

Among the onlookers.

“Is your Original Card that valiant?”

One of the Swordsmen glanced at a Card Creator.

That Card Creator released his Original Card.

Buzz—

The Original Card was flying slowly and clumsily. Compared to that of Xiaobai, they were as different as heaven and hell.

“It can’t do that.”

The Card Creator smiled bitterly.

“What about its sturdiness,” the Swordsman said in a low voice.

It was not merely the problem of speed at which Xiaobai controlled the card. If it was just due to a slow speed, it could be improved after some training. But the sturdiness of the card…

“I don’t know,” the Card Creator replied honestly.

After all…

Who would attack with the Original Card without a reason?!

He was purely a Card Creator and he only used the Original Card for sealing abilities!

“However… The textbooks say that the Original Card is very stable,” the Card Creator said honestly.

“Oh.”

At this point in time, the Swordsman took out his weapon.

“… ?!”

The Card Creator’s heart flipped. “Don’t…”

Crash!

A slash landed.

Thud!

A gash appeared on the Original Card of the Card Creator. He could not come to his senses after a long time.

Crap!

The Swordsman was silent.

Oh. It turns out that your Original Card is that weak…

The Card Creator was in tears.

“Damn it.

The sturdiness of the Original Card is from the perspective of a Card Creator… You’re a five-star Swordsman who just launched such a deadly attack, that there would be a problem if no gash appeared on it, okay?!” he thought.

At this very moment…

The fight was still going on in the distance.

Crash!

Crash!

One by one, figures were sent flying out.

In the end…

There was no longer anyone standing in front of Xiaobai.

After a long time…

“Who else?!

Her childish and tender voice could be heard again.

Shush!

The Zi Yang Combat College fell into dead silence.

They had been thoroughly beaten!

Thoroughly beaten again!

They felt indignant that their freshmen had been vanquished. After all, the freshmen had just been enrolled in the school for six months, were slightly weaker, and were all two-stars. However, now…

Even the second-year students had been defeated thoroughly!

Furthermore, the few who had fought were three-star cultivators who were quite famous!

All of them had failed!

They were also three-star but the gap in between their abilities was actually that huge?!

How was that possible?

Everyone from Zi Yang College was stupefied.

Instant defeat!

Instant defeat!

All were defeated instantly!

Right from the beginning, the young lady did not even move the slightest bit.

How big was the difference, exactly?

Sword Card Master…

What kind of vocation was this, exactly?!

“Not bad.”

With this… Lu Ming was very satisfied.

This was Xiaobai, indeed…

Well…

The credit also went to Xiaobai for teaching Xiao-Xiaobai that well… Of course, Xiaobai was that outstanding also because he, as the master, had taught her well…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card burst madly with lights.

Shameless!

“Haha.”

Lu Ming could not be bothered with it.

“Master.” Xiaobai walked to him.

“Good.”

Lu Ming rubbed her tiny head. “You’ve performed well.”

“Thank you.”

Xiaobai nestled into Lu Ming’s arms.

A distance away.

The people from Zi Yang College were sorrowfully silent.

The young lady who vanquished the freshmen and second-year students in your college was whining in someone’s arms…

Pfft!

Those teachers almost spat out mouthfuls of blood.

This was too…

He was such a bully!

“I’m so furious.”

“A-argh… I’m suffering from an emotional breakdown.”

“The second-years were a bunch of useless drags. If I’m not in my third year now, that’s really…”

“I’m already in my fourth year. Sob!”

The students were furious.

Obviously…

They could tell that the young lady’s combat ability was comparable to the higher spectrum of a three-star peak. This group of new second-year students could not make it. However, all the three-star peaks were already in their third year of studies!

“You guys… you guys…”

The teachers from the Zi Yang College were shaking with rage.

“Teacher.”

Lu Ming was somewhat embarrassed. “This is an exchange match, an exchange match.”

The hands of teachers from Zi Yang College were trembling.

Damn!

What kind of exchange match was this?

They blocked their school entrance and vanquished them?!

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming consoled, “There’ll be a chance to beat us, teacher. Since luck is not on your school’s side and you didn’t manage to recruit geniuses for your first and second year cohorts, why don’t you get your third-year students…

To try and beat me?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

That teacher was instantly silent.

Lu Ming…

Oh.

He remembered now. Lu Ming was also a three-star peak!

Furthermore, most critically, it had been a long time since the School Championship Competition. Had Lu Ming grown much more powerful than before? Third-year cohort…

Could his third-year students beat him?!

He had no idea.

In his initial plan, if Lu Ming were to challenge them, they intended to send their most powerful students to fight him…

“Master,”

Xiaobai suddenly lounged over. “Why don’t I do it?”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

“I want to give it a try.”

Xiaobai said with embarrassment, “I’m Xiaoyan’s senior sister. They beat him up. I should stand up for him. Furthermore, I want to test… the current standing of my Sword Card Master combat ability.”

At this point in the conversation, Xiaobai lowered her head and clutched a corner of her dress. She was feeling very shy.

Lu Ming was speechless.

The rest of the people were speechless.

Especially those people from Zi Yang Combat College, their faces were red and flustered.

Look, look, this young lady was the one who vanquished you guys!

Don’t you find it embarrassing?!

Lu Ming pondered the offer deeply for a long time. “Okay.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiaobai was elated.

“However…”

Lu Ming paused for a moment. “Come here.”

With that…

He pulled Xiaobai to a secluded corner and then gingerly took out his… card and passed it to Xiaobai.

“Take this. You can use it if you face any danger.”

Lu Ming told her.

“Huh?”

Xiaobai had a dumbstruck expression. “T-this is not so good…”

She had caught a clear glimpse of this card…

This…

This was too shameless?!

Cough.

Even she felt embarrassed.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming’s expression was calm. “This is a back up, just in case. Haha, this card is also my way of encouraging you. So, Xiaobai you have to strive hard to defeat them!”

“Okay!”

Xiaobai waved her little fists seriously.

She believed that she could do it!

Well…

Sure enough, master gave me this card to motivate me!

Very soon…

The two of them returned.

Xiaobai walked to the entrance of the Zi Yang Combat College again. “I’ll challenge your third-year students.”

Bang!

This caused a huge uproar.

Third year!

Xiaobai actually dared to challenge the third-year students of Zi Yang College!

“She’s so brave!”

“This young lady is too brave!”

“If it’s third year… I reckon there will be some powerful three-star peaks who are close to attaining four-star breakthroughs?”

“That’s right.”

Everyone was astounded.

Although Zi Yang College was not one of those super colleges, some of the students were exceptionally gifted and were already three-star peaks!

Although…

There were no four-stars yet!

However, these three-star peaks were of an entirely different level from the three-star beginners!

Could this young lady really beat them?!

“I’ll do it!”

One of the third-year students who had endured the matches for a long time could not wait to strike.

Bang!

A radiant beam erupted.

An enormous dragon surged towards Xiaobai. The Original Card danced in the air. Xiao-Xiaobai traversed the sky and pounced on it but did not defeat it instantly. It was only after two attacks that the dragon started to dissipate.

Eh?

Everyone regained their senses.

Finally…

They saw the limit of the Original Card!

Oh.

It turned out that this Original Card was a three-star peak!

Therefore, those cultivators who were below three-star peak level were not its match at all. That was why they were defeated instantly! However, when it faced a three-star peak which was its equivalent…

It finally revealed its true ability!

Crash!

Crash!

Crash!

There were a total of three consecutive confrontations!

Afterward, that third-year student finally dropped to the ground.

“I’m sorry.”

He was very ashamed.

However…

The students did not blame him this time. Instead, they were overjoyed. This was because his attack had confirmed Xiaobai’s true ability!

“Her Original Card is only slightly stronger than you.”

“Three-star peak, right?”

“In that case, we can beat her as long as we find someone stronger than you?”

“Haha.”

Everyone was elated.

Done!

Although this third-year student had lost, he was not considered the strongest. There were many more powerful three-star peaks above his level!

If Xiaobai was only slightly more powerful than him…

“I’ll do it!”

One of the students launched an attack excitedly.

Bang!

The fight commenced.

True enough.

He was slightly more powerful than the earlier one. This time, the combat with the Original Card had obviously lasted a longer time before his defeat!

Another third year student had lost.

However…

The people from Zi Yang Combat College were overjoyed. Although they had lost, they were getting closer to victory.

“Again!”

After Xiaobai rested for a moment. Another student made a move.

This time…

The combat time was further lengthened.

It was a failure!

However…

When the next fight began, the Original Card had the lower hand!

Alright.

Facing the increasingly stronger opponents, Xiao-Xiaobai’s advantage of a tempered three-star peak was finally gone. It was actually being subdued by the other party!

“Young lady. I’m afraid that I’m going to win this time,” the third-year student said in a good mood.

It was true.

Although it was not very appropriate for a third-year student to bully a young lady, it was better than being vanquished! If they were really beaten to a crisp, that would be even more embarrassing!

Thankfully…

He had subdued the Original Card fully. Finally…

He was going to win!

Crash!

Crash!

Under his strong attacks, Xiaobai’s Original Card did not seem to have any strength to retaliate. It could barely resist the attacks and the glow it emitted was getting weaker and weaker…

“He’s going to win!”

The students from Zi Yang Combat College were emotional.

They had finally won!

The teachers were also thankful…

However…

At this moment.

During the fight, the young lady who had not moved the slightest bit earlier suddenly lifted her hand gently, grabbed the Original Card which had been subdued for a long time and gently waved it…

Bang!

The speed of the Original Card improved by leaps and bounds!

Eh?

That third-year student instinctively released his most powerful ability. However, when the Original Card landed, his countenance changed drastically…

Bang!

All his powers were destroyed instantly.

He had clearly subdued the Original Card to the extent that it could not unleash anymore powers. However, at this moment, it actually released an ability that was three times stronger than his!

Crash!

He was blasted out instantly, dangling from the main entrance of the college and wobbling…

Shush!

There was pin-drop silence at the scene.

This…

How could this be possible?”

The students from Zi Yang College stood up at that instant.

How could this happen?!

They were about to win! Clearly, they should have won! That young lady merely waved her hands. Why did the Original Card become so strong?! It was as if it had been injected with some hormones?!

It was not scientific at all…

However…

At this moment, the teachers from Zi Yang College glanced at each other with grave and serious expressions. With their ability, they could naturally tell why the Original Card was that fearsome.

“Mental strength!”

A teacher said sullenly.

Alright.

Mental strength!

Just at this moment, they vaguely remembered something.

Some time ago.

They seemed to have read about the rudimentary state of the Sword Card Master in the forum of The First Academy… At that time, amongst the seven main prerequisites of becoming a Combat Card Creator…

One of them seemed to be mental strength.
