Chapter 300 - That’s Right. One Can Really Do As One Wishes
Breeze Pavilion.
Lu Ming looked sullen.
Damn!
To hell with equal treatment…
Given my talents, wasn’t I a legendary one in a million genius?! After all, one can’t find a talent like me anywhere!
“Do you have any suitable abilities in your sect?” Lu Ming asked.
The teenager was silent.
He paused for a moment, looking back at the Spiritualist abilities…
Although Spiritualists majored in composite abilities, there weren’t that many varieties. So far, in his impression, there was only one ability that needed twelve composite abilities! But this was only in theory. Among them, eleven were auxiliary abilities!
It required the affinity to be at level 8!
“I am sorry.”
The teenager was helpless too.
“Is there really nothing?”
Lu Ming was disappointed.
This was an established sect and the legacy had been passed on for numerous years. There should be one or two that were suitable for him?
“It’s true!”
The teenager was earnest.
He looked at the data above Lu Ming’s head and was dazed as well. He could not see any ability that was suitable!
A—alright.
Lu Ming left the array.
…
“Is he Lu Yan’s younger brother?”
One man asked quietly.
“Yes.”
“He is too different from his sister.”
Everyone found it amusing.
What rank is Lu Yan at?
What talents does Lu Yan possess?
Why was it that it was the exact opposite with Lu Ming? To hell with equal treatment! To put it plainly, he was lacking all the element affinities.
“Alright. He is not here to compete with us. He was inadvertently embroiled in this.”
“That’s right. If he were like his elder sister, we would have no chance to compete.”
“You’re right,” one man said.
This was a small place. Although they had been whispering, everyone could hear them clearly.
“Master.
“They are badmouthing you.”
Xiaobai was unhappy.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming stroked her little head. “I’m used to it.”
“Huh?”
Xiaobai was dazed.
Why must one learn to get used to this?
“Look.”
Lu Ming sighed. “Since a young age, I have unrivaled looks that people are envious of and I have a powerful elder sister who loves and protects me. Apart from being jealous and making snide remarks, what else can they do? Therefore, one can only get used to it. After all, we did not do anything wrong, it is just that… we are too outstanding.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Huh?”
Xiaobai thought about it briefly and actually found it reasonable.
“Master, you are amazing!”
Xiaobai praised him.
Her master was in a very profound state.
To this…
Lu Ming could only smile.
He felt that he had now come to a state of mind where he was an expert in fronting and it came very easily to him.
“Haha.”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at him, remaining silent.
To hell with getting used to it…
It was obvious that he knew that some of them were six-star and he could not defeat them and hence he was being a coward… Damn, all he knew was how to bluff the young lady.
“Humph!”
One man sneered.
Outstanding?
Lu Ming did not deserve that.
If not for Lu Yan, he was not qualified to be noticed by them!
A few days ago, some of the elders in his family were taught a lesson by Lu Yan. It was just nice. He could find a chance to teach Lu Ming a lesson…
Right then.
After Lu Ming left the array, Xiaobai stepped into it.
Bang!
Once she stepped into it, brightness soared to the sky.
A series of numbers suddenly emerged, rushing to the sky. Each number was so solid, it was completely different from Lu Ming’s figures that had almost disappeared!
At this moment…
Every figure came with a shining light, surrounding Xiaobai.
Hundreds of lights surrounded her like a flying dragon!
“This is…”
The teenager was shocked.
——
Wind affinity: Utmost level.
Water affinity: Utmost level.
Earth affinity: Utmost level.
Fire affinity: Utmost level.
…
Light affinity: Utmost level.
Darkness affinity: Utmost level.
…
——
Utmost level!
What did that mean?
It was higher than ten!
In addition to the traditional one to ten affinity, the person who set these two special results had provided references for them. One was ‘negative one’, representing an affinity that was lower than one! Another was ‘utmost level’, representing an excellent affinity that was higher than ten!
And right now…
He actually witnessed all of them now!
Bang!
Bang!
Towering lights and shadows emerged.
The bursts of lights caused by the array surrounded the young lady, swirling around her for a long time.
“This…”
The teenager had never seen such a shocking sight.
Even in their sect, when the legacy was being passed down for many years, no one had such amazing talents. No, more accurately speaking, this innate talent…
It only existed in the legends!
He never expected that he could see someone of this caliber today…
Was this really a gift from heaven and Earth?!
Lu Ming was shocked as well.
Damn!
He did not expect that she would have such a prodigious gift?
In particular, when he noticed that the brilliance of the elemental affinity surrounding Xiaobai was refusing to leave, he had a strange idea…
Damn it.
These days, element affinities seem to be acting like simps!!!!
Is it possible to refuse to leave?
Also…
Look at Xiaobai’s talents…
And mine…
“Thankfully I am not an Elementalist.”
Lu Ming felt grateful.
If Little Lu Ming cultivated the Elementalist vocation, he might have been overtaken early in his cultivation.
“She has a lot more talent for creating cards than you.”
Xiao-Xiaojian cast him an odd look.
Lu Ming was silent.
He was certain.
If they were not in the legacy, he would have given Xiao-Xiaojian a round of beatings.
“Also… I can sense a secret.”
Xiao-Xiaojian transmitted its thoughts. “The so-called unrivaled talent does not come from Xiaobai!”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
He looked up and checked the data above Xiaobai as well as the surroundings lights. If this was not from Xiaobai, what did it mean?!
“Are you a fool?”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at him contemptuously. “Think about it, is there anyone who is so well-rounded in this world? Is there anyone who is born with such innate talents? It is impossible.”
“I am.”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
“Get lost!”
Xiao-Xiaojian did not bother to be polite. “It is possible that all of your talents add up to nothing! This is the problem with the upper limit of talent. Do you understand?!
“No matter how many talents Xiaobai has…
“There is an upper limit to comprehensive data. It might be one hundred or two hundred, or even thousands. But it would never be a case like now where it is limitless! It is impossible to have an ultimate figure that is at the hundreds of thousands!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very certain.
After all, it was an ancient sword spirit. It was knowledgeable.
“So are you saying that…”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Who else was there apart from Xiaobai?
Perhaps…
“Xiao-Xiaobai?!”
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right!”
There was a glitter in Xiao-Xiaojian’s eyes. “Let me tell you, among all the talents listed, there were only a few that belonged to Xiaobai, the rest… are from Xiao-Xiaobai! All of them!”
What did innate talents mean?
That was it!
Xiaobai might have amazing talents but it was impossible to exceed the limit. As for Xiao-Xiaobai… as a natural spirit body, it was in the actual sense, an all-rounder!
Why was it that the element affinity tester refused to leave?
It was not behaving like a simp. Instead, it was because it wanted to be in contact with Xiao-Xiaobai…
That was all.
“I see.”
Lu Ming felt much better.
Oh.
It turned out that it was due to Xiao-Xiaobai…
Sigh.
Wait a minute.
He suddenly came to his senses and he looked suspicious. “Since the array can detect Xiao-Xiaobai’s talents, why didn’t it detect yours?”
Shush!
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly turned silent.
After a long while…
It said slowly, “All of us are lousy in terms of elements, so why did you bother asking?”
Lu Ming finally understood now.
Damn!
No wonder he found the data odd!
Therefore, among the lousy data that appeared, there were only a few that were reflective of his talents?! The remaining large portion was due to Xiao-Xiaojian…
Cough, cough.
Xiao-Xiaojian coughed. “I am after all a sword spirit. I don’t have much understanding of elements…”
Hehe.
Lu Ming looked at it contemptuously.
Both of them were spirit bodies. Why was it that it could not be compared with Xiao-Xiaobai?!
He finally understood. Although it was an ancient sword spirit and it was from ancient times, even back then, Xiao-Xiaojian was the lowest of its kind!
“What expression is that?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian glowed constantly in the card bag, feeling very furious. “I am a sword spirit! Do you understand? I was not born to work well with elements. It is normal to have a low affinity data! Besides, this is an Elementalist legacy. Why did you join in the fun?! Also, did you forget that there is a conspiracy going on with the enemy?”
“Why can’t I join in the fun?”
Lu Ming sneered. “I took the Lunar Shadow legacy for myself. I took the Illusory Realm as well. So why can’t I have this Spiritualist legacy as well? Even if there is a conspiracy going on…
“Who cares.
“Let’s get the legacy anyway!”
Lu Ming was clear of what he wanted.
Xiao-Xiaojian thought about it. It made sense.
It was done for!
Its heart sank.
It used to be noble and domineering, right now it was behaving more and more like the shameless Lu Ming. What did it mean by getting the legacy first before they talked?!
Where was its pride as an ancient sword spirit?!
“Well… I seem to have been led astray by you…”
Xiao-Xiaojian had tears in its eyes.
It suddenly felt hopeless.
“It’s in your nature.”
Lu Ming had no wish to take the blame for this.
Why didn’t it speak of its glory and dignity when it behaved like a simp toward Xiao-Xiaobai a few days ago? Why did it pretend to be righteous now?
Buzz—
The lights and shadows of the array disappeared gradually.
The element affinity tester surrounded Xiaobai for a long time before dissipating.
Lu Ming pulled Xiaobai away.
Right then.
The people around them came to their senses. If the young lady was so talented, would they still be able to receive the legacy?
“Don’t worry.
“In our sect, as long as one passes the assessment, one will be admitted.”
The teenager spoke in a gentle tone.
In that case…
Everyone felt slightly better.
“Spiritualist…
“I must become a Spiritualist!”
One person was determined.
He knew long ago that there was a big issue with his current vocation. It was too difficult to re-cultivate and he might be hunted down by his enemies. If he became a Spiritualist…
Many people had the same thoughts.
At times, they might not really be after the legacy itself.
…
“Everyone… Please follow me.”
The teenager smiled faintly.
The testing of talents was merely the first step of the assessment of the Breeze Pavilion. To become a real disciple of the Spiritualists, they had a long way to go.
They walked past the array at the entrance.
Not too far in the distance.
A stream of light fell through the sky onto the ground like a comet.
Bang!
Bang!
There was a huge pothole on the ground.
This power…
Everyone glanced at each other, trembling with fear.
“This… Didn’t we agree not to kill anyone in the legacy?”
Some of them were shocked.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
They could see a stream of lights descending. Every stream of lights crashed down like a meteor with a terrifying speed and trailing force…
Who could withstand this?
“Everyone…
“In the Spiritualist sect…
“It is rare to have a single ability. We major in composite abilities. This is the combination of various elements. Therefore, this assessment is very important!
“Here, the assessment is about perception.
“Apart from talents, everyone has a different perception of the elements. Different levels of perception result in a different sensitivity.
“Each meteor is condensed from the elements.
“If you can perceive the meteor that is of the same origin as you, it will not hurt you and you can absorb the energy to enhance yourself! If your perception is wrong and it hits you before it falls, you will be transferred out to the entrance to start over again,” the teenager explained to everyone.
“Are you certain we won’t die?” The man who had zero affinity with heaven and earth asked.
“Yes,” the teenager said earnestly.
“Let me try.”
The man entered, feeling very curious.
Swoosh!
A meteor came crashing down.
Bang!
The man was smashed and sent back to the entrance.
“I will give it a try as well.”
The Fire Elementalist who had a high score of eight for water and fire affinities entered. He observed the few meteors that landed in front of him and strode forward.
Shush!
A meteor hit him.
Bang!
The flames burned!
A wall of flames burst forth around him. He was not sent blasting out, instead the flames surrounded him and slowly entered his body.
He had actually absorbed the flames!
“My ability has been enhanced!”
The Fire Elementalist was thrilled.
Fortuitous encounter!
This was indeed a fortuitous encounter!
Haha.
Even if he did not receive the legacy in the end, he could still benefit from this.
Very soon…
He absorbed the energy from the meteor and took another step. However, he was sent blasting to the starting point as he had chosen the wrong energy. He had to start all over again.
“I see.”
This time, everyone had a clear understanding of how it worked.
This place was both an assessment as well as a place where they could increase their energy level. Whoever who made it to the finishing point first had a stronger perception ability! That person would be more likely to receive the legacy of this sect!
Hence…
People stepped into the meteor shower.
Bang!
Bang!
The meteors fell one after another.
Some were sent blasting out on the spot, some were hit and began to absorb the energy. After absorbing the energy, they continued forward.
Suddenly…
One person who was sent blasting out looked toward Xiaobai.
“Wait a minute.
“If that is the case…
“Wouldn’t this be very easy for the young lady?!”
The person was shocked.
“Yes.”
The teenager’s expression was calm.
Xiaobai would be able to absorb all the meteors that hit her. This young lady was too talented. There was no way to assess her!
That was right.
One could really do as one wished as long as one had great talent!
“What about me?”
Lu Ming was tempted.
Although he was not as talented as Xiaobai, he was after all an all-rounder as well…
“It is the same for you as well.”
The teenager thought for a while. “It is just that you might take a longer time to absorb.”
“That is still okay.”
Lu Ming was satisfied.
Shush!
He entered the meteor shower.
Swoosh!
A meteor hit him.
Lu Ming could not be bothered to know what type of meteor this was. He was only curious to know if his and Xiao-Xiaojian’s all-rounder abilities would be useful and afterward…
Bang!
A meteor landed next to him and he was not sent blasting away!
Buzz—
Lights and shadows circulated.
The ball of lights and shadows surrounded Lu Ming and began to merge with Lu Ming’s energy.
“It works!”
Lu Ming was elated.
He did not suffer any injuries!
Haha!
In that case…
Wouldn’t it mean that he could have his way here as well?!
Shush!
Lu Ming began a mad rush to absorb all the energy.
Afterward…
Two minutes later, Lu Ming looked around and realized that there was almost no movement of lights and shadows. He finally knew what the teenager meant when he said that the absorption might be slower.
According to Xiao-Xiaojian and his analysis, it might take a year to absorb the energy in this meteor…
