Zi Yang Combat College.

At the school entrance.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

The vice-principal looked at his wife’s message on the screen. He was quite old and he did not understand it. He vaguely felt that something was odd, therefore he did not dare to ask the students…

Forget it.

He would talk about it when he was back.

He exited the screen silently.

The reason why he contacted his wife was to ask if there was any way to repair the summoned space or any solution to deal with Lu Ming. Now it seemed that…

He had to do it himself.

He could handle it even though the summoned beast refused to come out!

Buzz—

Buzz—

There was a ball of shining lights in the vice-principal’s hands.

Summoner was a very powerful vocation. Apart from the summoned space that a four-star was capable of materializing, they had powerful summoning abilities as well!

They could really summon anything!

Bang!

The vice-principal waved his hands and a huge summoning array appeared.

…

“It has begun!”

Everyone was full of anticipation.

Without the summoned beast, the vice-principal began to use his real summoning abilities! A Summoner could summon a real living creature!

They could use different abilities to summon different kinds of living creatures!

Some people would summon fish.

Some people would summon a tiger.

…

Different living creatures corresponded to different summoning abilities!

Of course.

It would require very difficult summoning abilities to summon powerful living creatures!

Right now…

Judging from the huge summoning array, the living creature he had summoned was not to be underestimated! It was possible that it was a living creature that was comparable to the summoned beast!

Buzz—

The array dazzled.

A huge figure appeared.

“It’s here!”

Everyone held their breaths.

The creature was not summoned from the Summoner’s space therefore there was no need to guide it to come out. It could be summoned straight away!

Lu Ming had no way to destroy it!

Buzz—

A faint aura emerged.

The figure had yet to appear but its aura could be sensed!

A five-star peak!

Bang!

Everyone was shocked.

“He is very powerful!”

“It turns out to be a five-star peak again!”

“He is indeed the vice-principal of Zi Yang College. His combat effectiveness…”

Everyone gasped.

Although the vice-principal’s summoned beast had previously been poked by a pink spear and there was an explosion, it did not matter. It was obvious that the summoning this time was a success!

So what if Lu Ming was very powerful?

He was only a three-star peak!

He was two levels away from five-star peak!

Furthermore—

The gap was too big!

“How long do you think Lu Ming will hold on?”

“Three seconds?”

“Haha, you have been thinking too much. This is a five-star peak!”

The students of Zi Yang Combat College were very excited.

Finally…

They could walk with their heads held high!

Damn!

They had suffered so many losses that they felt like breaking down!

Hahaha!

Serves him right for being arrogant and provoking our principal…

Snort! Snort!

The students felt pleased with themselves.

…

At this very moment…

Lu Ming watched as the living creature began to appear.

He looked solemn.

He tried to sense it and realized that its energy state was illusory. There was no way to attack it or to find ways to break it. He could only wait for it to appear!

Judging from the speed, it would only take about two seconds!

It was too fast!

“This might be a tough fight.”

Lu Ming grew solemn.

Shush!

The Original Card appeared silently in his hands.

He had been ready for the impending battle. It had been a long time since he seriously participated in a fight. It was indeed time for him to improve himself through practice…

The living creature was a five-star peak!

Come on!

Lu Ming’s gaze was bright and sharp.

The terrifying creature appeared. Its five-star aura exploded, enveloping everyone, and there was a loud howl that followed.

Everyone could not help but be frightened.

It was just that…

From the looks of it…

Eh?

There was an odd expression on Lu Ming’s face.

…

At this very moment…

The five-star creature appeared.

Bang!

Flames were raging.

Over at the school entrance, the whole world seemed to have turned bright red. Half of the sky had been dyed red. The terrifying aura and the flames made people shake out of fear.

“What a strong aura!”

“What a huge beast!”

“Crap, how will Lu Ming survive this?”

“God knows.”

Everyone was astounded.

The five-star peak beast was very powerful!

Right then.

“Let’s go!” the vice-principal roared.

He did not hesitate. It took only two seconds to summon the powerful creature, and he made the living creature launch a powerful attack at Lu Ming right away!

Bang!

The terrifying living creature leaped and charged toward Lu Ming.

Afterward…

Lu Ming took out a card silently.

Swoosh!

The card floated toward the vice-principal.

“Uh?!”

The vice-principal grew solemn.

Card?!

Could it be that…

It was Lu Ming’s Sword Aura?

He instinctively tried to use defensive moves to fend it off. But what was odd was that the card dissipated in front of him and did not attack anyone.

Eh?

Just when the vice-principal was wondering what the effect was…

Suddenly…

A weird object dropped somewhere behind him. He had no time to turn around to check it out when the five-star peak creature that was charging toward Lu Ming stopped suddenly in its tracks.

Afterward, it turned around.

It turned to look at him then charged toward him!

“Moo—”

There was a loud roar.

The terrifying creature turned and charged toward him, toward its master! This was because he was enchanted by the flag that was behind its master!

Bang!

Both of its hooves burned in flames.

Right then, the Raging Flames Divine Bull, a five-star peak creature burst with power!

Bang!

It turned into a streak of red light and charged toward the flag.

Along the way…

It brought the vice-principal who was blocking its way away with it.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The vice-principal was blasted out instantly and left dangling from the main entrance of Zi Yang Combat College…

Bam!

His body covered part of the word ‘combat’ in the school’s name. The vice-principal hung onto the gate. There was a faint smell of burning in the air.

Shush!

The world was silent.

…

Everyone was dumbstruck.

W-what had just happened?

Heaven Scorching Flames!

Bright flames were shooting everywhere!

The Raging Flames Divine Bull made a grand appearance!

The shining red lights, the terrifying raging flames, and the horrifying aura were so eye-catching that no one paid attention to Lu Ming’s weak three-star aura!

All they could see was how the vice-principal controlled the Raging Flames Divine Bull to attack Lu Ming, but while it was about to attack Lu Ming, something seemed to have happened…

And the Raging Flames Divine Bull changed its direction.

Afterward…

There was nothing more.

The vice-principal was left hanging on the school plaque.

The bull seemed to have disappeared.

Everyone was unable to really understand what was going on.

What did this mean?

Was this the vice-principal’s personal hobby?

…

“Do you understand what just happened?”

“No.”

“What is the vice-principal doing?”

“I have no idea. I heard that bulls are very sensitive to the color red. Could it be that the vice president wore something red and that’s why it turned out like this?”

“But the vice-principal was not wearing red.”

One cultivator took a look.

“Perhaps he wore it underneath. The vice-principal is forty-eight years old this year. Perhaps this is his Chinese zodiac year?”

“… Would that work?”

“For sure.”

The cultivator repeated his comment and was certain that this was what had happened. “Look, it must be true. The five-star peak bull might be able to see through outer clothing and knows what’s underneath!”

“This must be it!”

Some people were deeply convinced.

Hence…

Among the crowd,

News started to circulate that the vice-principal wore red undergarments and hence was attacked by the bull that he had summoned. After all, people were interested in this topic…

Shush!

Shush!

Some people took photos and circulated them.

…

“Stop them.”

“Hurry.”

“Get the vice-principal down…”

A few students went forward.

“He is strongly attached. We can’t move him.”

“Exert some force.”

Many students went forward to help the principal down.

…

Lu Ming stood quietly at one side.

The students swept their gazes over him, but no one dared to go near him.

Unlike the cultivators outside the school who had uneven strength, the students in the school knew the ability of the principal very well!

Raging Flames Divine Bull!

There was a mention of this ability in the textbooks!

However…

The bull came back.

Because of the color red?

Was this a joke?!

Who said that?

The flames that flooded the sky as well as the Raging Flames Divine Bull were red!

The only reason why it would return must be due to the fact that Lu Ming raised his hands slightly and threw out a very ordinary card!

It must be that card!

It must be that flag!

It was a pity…

The Raging Flames Divine Bull was too powerful. It sent the vice-principal flying and destroyed the flag, turning into a streak of light and disappearing…

It was summoned and since the vice-principal was unconscious, it naturally disappeared.

But this fight…

Why did it turn out like this?

…

Li Haoran and Xiaoyan were shocked.

They knew that their master was powerful but they never thought that it would be to that extent, and that he could defeat a vice-principal instantly!

It was too terrifying!

It was no wonder their master told them not to worry!

The two of them glanced at each other and frowned slightly.

“Senior sister. Is this a new ability?”

Li Haoran asked cautiously.

They were too ashamed.

He and Xiaoyan could not understand.

The ability used by Senior Sister might have been powerful, but they knew that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to achieve that level. However, their master’s abilities…

They watched by the side but could not understand what was going on!

True enough.

They had to rely on their senior sister.

Xiaobai felt slightly embarrassed. “Y-yes.”

True enough!

Li Haoran and Xiaoyan looked excited.

Look!

This was indeed their master’s new ability!

It was just that…

The ability might be powerful, but he didn’t like that it knocked against the opponent’s bottom… He had seen it clearly. The bull directly knocked against the vice-principal’s bottom…

It was shameful!

However…

Come to think of it…

Why was it that the abilities that were developed by master and senior sister revolved around either poking or angering?

Well…

This was something worth pondering.

Could it be that his research direction was wrong?

…

“Lu Ming. What exactly do you want?”

A female teacher took a deep breath.

It was a very embarrassing day. She no longer cared anymore. She only wanted to know what exactly Lu Ming wanted. He went on to defeat the principal after beating the students. He was too much!

“A friendly exchange,” Lu Ming said in a friendly tone.

The female teacher was silent.

“Why are you silent?”

Lu Ming was curious. “Aren’t you supposed to be crying?”

The female teacher cast him an inexplicable glance.

“What do you mean by crying silently?”

Cough, cough…”Nothing.”

Lu Ming coughed.

“I know you have an agenda.”

The female teacher stared at Lu Ming. She walked to stand in front of him. Her big round eyes stared down at Lu Ming, making him feel oppressed.

“Tell me, what do you want?”

“You have a stronger presence than your vice-principal…”

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.

The female teacher stared at Lu Ming, not saying anything.

“Alright.”

Li Haoran looked calm. “Tell the teacher who beat Li Haoran to come out.”

He came here… only for this moment!

He was here to support his disciples!

“Indeed, you are here for him.”

The female teacher sighed.

“If not him then what?”

Lu Ming sneered.

“You can’t beat him.”

The female teacher was silent for a moment, before she said, “Do you know why no teacher stopped him when he avenged his students? This is because no one can defeat him…

He used to be the vice-principal…

But he felt that it would hinder his cultivation so he resigned.

So, should we just end this exchange?”

The female teacher asked earnestly.

Seriously…

Everything should come to an end.

Their school had been thoroughly shamed.

The matter had been blown up!

If this continued, it would be meaningless even if they won. What was the point if the vice-principal defeated a year two student?

However…

At this moment.

A cold voice sounded from afar.

“I heard that someone is looking for me?”

Bang!

Sword gleams flashed.

A slender figure came from afar with a hint of a smile. “Those guys over there?”

“It’s you!”

Li Haoran’s pupils suddenly constricted.

He recognized him!

It was him!

When he gave the few students who bullied Xiaoyan a round of beatings, this guy walked over and with a swing of his sword, sent Li Haoran flying away!

There was no way to retaliate!

This guy…

A Swordsman!

A five-star Swordsman!

“Master, be careful!”

Li Haoran suddenly felt tense.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

Five-star… Swordsman?

“Did you beat Li Haoran last time?” Lu Ming asked.

“Hmm.”

The five-star Swordsman looked indifferent. “Since he came to the school to beat my disciples, I sent him away.”

“Very good,” Lu Ming exclaimed.

He liked this bad temper of his!

Therefore…

Come on!

Lu Ming summoned his Original Card.

Shush!

A faint three-star peak aura dissipated.

“Hehe.”

The five-star Swordsman merely smiled.

Shush!

Just like what happened last time, he waved his hands casually.

Bang!

A thought descended.

A tremendous force seemed to crash down on him. Lu Ming was weighed down by it and there was no way he could move.

Bang!

Bang!

In the void.

There was the outline of a mountain range…

“His mental strength!”

Everyone gasped.

According to rumors…

When mental strength was tempered to the ultimate stage, it became a seven-star Sword Intent!

To their surprise, the five-star Swordsman was already very close to the prototype of the changing shape of mental strength, and he could even use it in real combat!

Only strong cultivators were capable of that!

W-what could Lu Ming do to resist it?

…

However…

They did not know that right now Lu Ming was very helpless as well.

Seriously…

Seriously…

There were many attack moves that a five-star could use. Why did he choose to use mental strength?

…

“Hehe. Too weak.”

Seeing that Lu Ming did not dare to move at all, the Swordsman shook his head.

Students nowadays were really not as good as before…

One could cultivate if one was not as powerful. However, if one was not intelligent, it would be hopeless. Given his abilities, how dare he seek revenge? It was too ridiculous…

He shook his head.

He got ready to leave.

However…

At this moment, a terrifying aura appeared.

Bang!

The aura burst forth from the mental strength and it seemed like the sharp knife that was used to cut beancurd, slashing the tremendous force into two.

Bang!

The mountain range that was formed by his thoughts collapsed all of a sudden!

…

How could that be possible?!

The five-star Swordsman’s pupils constricted all of sudden.

This…

How could this be possible?!

Nothing was capable of crushing his thoughts…

Shush!

There was a cold glitter in his eyes.

He sensed with his energy.

Right then…

He could see clearly in his thoughts that there was a disc formed by thoughts that was as sharp as a blade!

It was true.

A disc!

The disc seemed to be large and round…

It looked thin and sharp on the side…

Shush!

Shush!

The disc swept across him.

Like a newly steamed beancurd, the thought that he had condensed was cut into many pieces…

…
