Qing Ming City.

In the shop.

A sword spirit who was very full of itself finally had a reality check. Lu Ming continued to study the Lunar Shadow legacy.

The Lunar Shadow legacy was very interesting. Among the massive amount of information it contained, it only contained the purest basic swordplays and there was a super powerful swordplay for each level!

According to Lu Ming’s conjecture, Lunar Shadow felt that when basic swordplay was tempered to the extreme, it was very powerful. If they were used properly, the Sword Aura and Full Moon itself could cause great damage!

In this case, it was sufficient to use basic swordplay. It could be used in combat as well as to enhance one’s proficiency!

If one was in danger, one would then use a huge move.

After all…

In the Swordsman sect, one never needed to have too many moves.

There used to be a very powerful veteran Swordsman and he only mastered one move in his entire life. With this one move, he dominated all the Swordsmen in his era. He was invincible!

Lunar Shadow’s one set of swordplays was good enough.

“I have mastered becoming one with the sword.

“If I cast Lightning Slash while becoming one with the sword, its power will be impressive! In that case, there is only one problem left… energy consumption!”

Lu Ming was thinking deeply.

With his current energy, he could not be in unison with his sword for a long period of time. Besides, Lightning Slash would be more powerful with more energy. Therefore…

His first priority was to stabilize his energy!

Both abilities were very energy consuming!

Of course.

After his testing and analysis…

If he executed a big move, he could use ten thousand points of energy from his one hundred points of energy to go into unison with the sword. He should be able to last for one second!

In this one second…

He would release Lightning Slash!

This Lightning Slash would be worth ninety thousand points of energy!

In that case…

It was sufficient to maximize the power of the hidden trump card!

According to the analysis of Lu Ming, although there would be ten thousand points less energy, due to the unison with the sword, the power of the one move was doubled!!!

One slash was enough to blow through all the five-stars!

If he increased the might with two Moonlight Cards…

It would be an easy feat to kill a beginner six-star Elementalist like Zou Shenglong. The premise being that he did not see him and he launched a sneak attack…

Cough.

This time, his enemy would not be able to withstand his attacks!

Even if he used six-star balls of lights to burst and deplete the energy, he would not be able to withstand it!

“So, does this mean that I am capable of fighting a six-star head-on?!”

Lu Ming was excited all of a sudden.

Damn!

Unknowingly, he had become half a big shot!

Look.

Under normal conditions, he could fight a four-star head on.

Under enhanced conditions, with Lightning Slash becoming one with the sword, it was not a problem to kill a five-star! Under special conditions, with some luck, it might be possible to kill a beginner six-star!

In that case…

Wasn’t he impressive?

Xiao-Xiaojian looked at him, remaining silent.

This is simply fighting head on!

This is simply throwing money at people!

Some normal cultivators only consume a few hundred points of energy on their abilities. If they use a huge move, it only needs a few thousand points. There is no need for them to use Energy Cards!

This is normal fighting!

For others, their energy recovers and reaches a level sufficient enough for them to use in battle!

Look at your Lightning Slash…

Hehe.

It drains one hundred thousand points of energy straight away and you have to use a variety of enhancements and work together with your sword spirit to be able to fight against a beginner six-star…

What was there to brag about?

So much talk about fighting a six-star…

You are too shameless.

Furthermore…

Let’s not talk about a six-star. After using Lightning Slash on a five-star, you will be drained!

This is a hidden trump card!

This is a last resort!

It always felt that if people judged their combat effectiveness based on the hidden trump cards, something must be wrong with them… One could not use a hidden trump card every time one encountered an enemy…

After all…

There would be many enemies.

Lu Ming was silent.

Afterward, he dragged Xiao-Xiaojian to the corner to give it a round of beatings.

Xiao-Xiaojian glowed fervently. “I didn’t say anything. Why did you beat me up?”

Lu Ming gave it a deep stare. “Although you didn’t say anything, I can feel that you are scolding me.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

Damn!

How did he find out?

Something is not right!

Could it be that the damn shameless cat heard what was on my mind and told Lu Ming? Wait a minute… this is not good!!… Brother Cat, I didn’t say anything about you…

Crash!

A black shadow flashed.

Xiao-Xiaojian was sent crashing to the ground. Half of its body was stuck. It was a painful sight to look at.

After a long time…

Xiao-Xiaojian pulled itself out.

“Amazing!”

Lu Ming gave it a thumbs-up.

It was understandable that it could not be bothered as it no longer felt any pain from the beatings. It was really daring to taunt Brother Cat! He had to hand it to the sword spirit!

Xiao-Xiaojian shivered.

Damn!

That was painful…

Compared to Lu Ming’s feeble beating, the damn… prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality 1.Core socialist values…

Xiao-Xiaojian quickly calmed down.

…

Lu Ming could not be bothered.

He knew very well about the core problem of Lightning Slash.

And that was… its huge energy consumption!

It was true.

If he could solve the problem of energy consumption and he could release the Lightning Slash umpteen times, the so-called hidden trump card would become a real combat ability!

He perked up at the thought of it.

“Energy optimization…”

Lu Ming felt energized.

Energy optimization reduces consumption and improves efficiency. One must reduce energy consumption as far as possible without affecting the strength of the move!

For cultivators, this was very important!

Therefore, energy optimization was the focus of all cultivators and the main topic among them.

Hence…

Lu Ming checked out the selected topics panel. Once he clicked on it, he could see the popular topics and posts that were at the top.

He clicked inside curiously.

…

‘#Energy optimization!

The door to a new world

As we all know, the more advanced its energy level is, the more valuable a card gets.

At six-star, every point of energy is very expensive. Energy Cards are very costly and one usually cannot afford to buy them or use them. This is the main problem people who just reached six-star status face. There is no need to worry. We will provide some solutions for people who have just reached six-star.

First: buy more advanced but lower consumption abilities!

Abilities that have a higher consumption of energy might not be good. What we’re after is efficiency. A good ability is one where energy maximizes the effect of the ability!

Here are my recommended skills for each vocation:

Elementalist, please click the link here.

Sharpshooter, please click the link here.

Demon Warrior, please click the link here.

Second: prepare a Charging Card!

When one’s energy is full, one must not waste it. One must store the extra energy away and make use of the powerful six-star energy recovery skill!

This way, the Charging Card will be effective in critical moments! Believe me, a Charging Card will be crucial in saving one’s life during a crisis.

Third: expansion!

This is the core issue.

I believe that if you have come this far, you have noticed that I have been talking about a beginner six-star. Why did I not mention intermediate and advanced? This is because they have been through expansion!

Many skills can increase the amount of energy you can use!

The standard ten thousand points of energy you start with can keep on expanding to fulfill one’s requirement! Many people around me have increased to twelve thousand and thirteen thousand.

You do not have to worry about needing a longer time to break through with a larger amount of energy.

Believe me…

The vast majority of people are at the six-star stage for their entire lives.

Finally…

…

Lu Ming was silent for a long time after reading it.

What the hell was that?!

Was it trustworthy?!

As his way of thinking had been poisoned by a variety of so-called WeChat official accounts in his previous life, when Lu Ming saw this tagline, he had the urge to click on the button to report it.

Damn! Wasn’t this purely marketing material?!

“Let’s take a look first.”

Lu Ming scrolled downward.

Someone posted a question.

——

‘Hello, why didn’t I see any recommendations for Energy Warriors?’

The owner replied:

‘Hello, we didn’t have a deep understanding of Energy Warriors. We must be practical and realistic, and hence we did not provide articles on this topic. Please understand.’

——

“They seem very professional.”

Lu Ming had yet to make a remark when he saw other replies.

“Don’t be fooled.”

“This is pure marketing!”

“Although there is nothing wrong with the materials, they are not value for money!”

“I have been to their shop. The customer service actually said that they made too little profit from the Energy Warrior products, therefore they could not be bothered to make them anymore!”

Lu Ming thought about it.

It seemed very logical…

He scrolled downward and was surprised that the fourth comment had disappeared and the reply was pasted on the seventh reply.

——

‘This shop sells products at an expensive price, do any fools buy it?’

The owner replied: ‘Yes, there are fools who do.’

——

Lu Ming was silent for a long time.

The big shot cultivators were very bubbly…

A—alright.

Lu Ming could not be bothered.

He looked through the threads. There was no shocking content. That was to say, there seemed to be no problem with the article, since that was the case…

“Hello, what should I do if one hundred thousand points of energy is not enough for me?” Lu Ming asked.

One minute later.

The system replied: “Hello, your reply has been deleted.”

Eh?

Lu Ming had not come to his senses.

The system replied: “You have been banned by the owner.”

…

“What is this?!”

Lu Ming lamented listlessly.

He reported the article and asked for a paid consultation.

“Hello, how do I optimize my energy if my one hundred thousand points of energy is not enough for my usage?”

Ding—

The other party rejected the consultation.

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

However…

This was only the beginning.

All the big shots offering paid consultations ignored him.

The only big shot who was willing to reply had an earnest suggestion: “Why don’t you try to expand it to one million points?”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Damn the big shots!

One hundred thousand points of energy might be a lot, but wasn’t there anyone who had this amount of energy?!

All of them were six-stars!

Hence…

Lu Ming clicked to open a statistical post at the top of the topic named #Energy limit ranking#, and discovered that the highest amount of energy that the big shots had for now was…

Sixty nine thousand five hundred and twenty seven points!

Peak six-star!

A big shot discovered that he had no chance of breaking through to seven-star and that there were no more ways to increase his energy quality ! Therefore, he kept expanding his energy to what he had today.

The few others who were over fifty thousand points were in the same situation.

One hundred thousand points?

Sorry.

No one had that much energy!

For the average person, if they had the time to cultivate ten thousand points to one hundred thousand points, they would temper their energy quality and break through to a six-star.

One hundred thousand points…

They would need ten years to achieve that!

Alright.

Lu Ming looked through the threads. He had no choice but to give up.

Regardless of whether they were four-star, five-star or six-star, their discussion of energy optimization was at a very simple level. It was meaningless to him.

“It seems that I can’t solve my problem for now.”

Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

For the time being, he would have to be drained of all his energy after using Lightning Slash…

He had no other choice!

He still had a long way to go if he wanted to fight a six-star head on in normal circumstances!

Of course.

He was in no hurry either.

After all, he was young and handsome…

…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

He could hear faint sounds of someone flipping the books coming from where Xiaobai was.

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

It seemed that…

The young lady was working hard as well.

He was about to take a look when his communication device suddenly vibrated. A new message arrived. Lu Ming took a look and was shocked.
