n

nIn the suburbs.

nAn elder drifted to a certain spot.

n“Looks like the battle is over…”

nThe elder’s expression was grave and serious.

nHe was an itinerant cultivator. He sensed that there were a lot of energy fluctuations in this area and he had come right away to check. Perhaps…

nHe could benefit from it.

nHence…

nHe carefully walked to the area where there were energy fluctuations.

nOver the mountains.

nAround the corner.

nAfterward…

nHe was deep in his thoughts.

nAt the front.

nIn the place where there were energy fluctuations, a young man lifted a wristband communication device and was constantly posing, taking photos of himself.

nThe elder was dumbstruck.

nWhat is going on?

nThis is crazy!

nLook, it’s the middle of the night, a young cultivator did not sleep to take selfies in the wilderness of the mountains???

nNo matter how good-looking one was, one could not be this narcissistic?

nAlthough…

nThe elder looked at him. He was indeed dashing.

nHowever…

nAt this moment.

nThe elder did not see the body lying not far away…

nAlthough the person was dead, there was still a faint residual aura…

nOh.

nPeak six-star.

nWait a minute…

nA peak six-star!

nThe elder shuddered and he looked carefully at the young man’s appearance. He was Lu Ming, a person who had become very popular and was widely searched by netizens daily! He was the president of the Sword Card Master Association!

nLu Ming…

nIs that powerful!?

nThe elder shivered and quickly left.

n…

n“Who is it?”

nLu Ming asked calmly.

n“An elder who was passing by.”

nXiao-Xiaojian did not seem bothered.

nThey had noticed the elder when he was in the vicinity. He behaved sneakily and was scared away by Lu Ming. They could not be bothered about him.

n“Okay,” Lu Ming said calmly.

nHe had just ended a battle. He did not want to stir up any troubles.

nIt was just that…

nBam!

nBam!

nLu Ming took two more selfies.

nWell….

nFrom the photo, he could clearly see a golden Sky Water Sword in the area between his eyebrows. The sword rested on a conspicuous spot on his forehead.

nIt was very dumb.

n“So…

n“Am I a Swordsman like you now?”

nLu Ming sighed.

n“No,” Xiao-Xiaojian retorted. “You are a Swordsman. I am a sword spirit.”

nLu Ming looked at it and remained silent.

nWell, humans…

nOne would only see others’ nature in times of crisis. Just now, the card was still very enthusiastic in calling people “father”.

n“Hehe.”

nXiao-Xiaojian declined to comment.

nWhile he was calling Brother Cat ‘Father’ it had nothing to do with him who was a salted fish1.Salted fish: Chinese internet slang for a boring and idle person with no ambitions.!

nBrother Cat was so amazing. It was handsome and majestic. It was the Brother Cat who had let it go. It would naturally call Brother Cat father! Even if the cat was castrated, it was still a father to him!

nIt had nothing to do with Lu Ming.

nSomewhere.

nThe black cat that was in a deep sleep was speechless.

nIt had the feeling that something seemed to be exacting its revenge in disguise…

nHence…

nAfter pondering deeply…

nCrash!

nIt swung its tail and Xiao-Xiaojian was plastered to the ground.

n“You deserved it.”

nLu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

nWho told you to use tricks?!

nAt this very moment…

nBuzz—

nThe Sky Water Sword flashed faintly, hiding in the area between Lu Ming’s eyebrows.

nWell….

nIt was hidden away.

nLu Ming could clearly feel that the Sky Water Sword was hidden in the area between his eyebrows. It was just that it was embedded deeper inside and its lights no longer shone.

nWell….

nThe energy recovery speed…

nIt was still as fast!

n“Hmm.”

nLu Ming pondered deeply.

nDoes this mean that the talents of Sky Water Sword are permanent?

nThe Art of Equalization used to be in the Original Card. Right now, this talent was in the area between his eyebrows. That place resembled the appearance of the Sea of Consciousness!

nAs for other functions, he had to go back and take his time to do testing.

nBuzz—

nXiao-Xiaojian spiraled into the sky.

nIt tried hard to pluck itself out from the ground.

nWell….

nThere was a big pit at that spot.

n“Make the pit bigger,” Lu Ming instructed.

nXiao-Xiaojian was somewhat baffled. But it still did what Lu Ming said and made the pit bigger. Afterward, Lu Ming threw the body of the elder into the pit.

n“Bury him,” Lu Ming said.

nXiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

nWait a minute.

nForget that it had to illuminate, translate and be used as a screwdriver in the past, but now it had to bury a body as well??

n“An able man is always busy,” Lu Ming said meaningfully.

nXiao-Xiaojian silently filled the pit with mud.

nMoments later.

nIt thought of a question. “I-I just remembered something.”

n“Please speak your mind.”

nLu Ming glanced at it.

n“Did you really intend to help me when you brought up the idiotic question last time?”

nXiao-Xiaojian was very skeptical.

nIt always felt that Lu Ming wanted to do it in and instead choose a fair and beautiful flirtatious slut from the spirit body department which was the harem for his thousands of spirit bodies!

nThat must be it.

n“I did.”

nLu Ming rolled his eyes.

nHence…

nHe gave Xiao-Xiaojian a serious explanation about Sino-Japanese relations and Sino-Korean relations.

n“Is that true…?”

nXiao-Xiaojian was very skeptical.

n“Yes.”

nLu Ming was certain.

n“Then what are Japan–South Korea relations based on?”

nXiao-Xiaojian was puzzled.

n“Hmm…”

nLu Ming pondered deeply. “Perhaps based on… pictures?”

nXiao-Xiaojian looked doubtful.

nIt had the feeling that Lu Ming was lying, but it could not pinpoint which part was wrong.

nWait a minute.

nIt suddenly remembered.

n“Liars!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was furious. “The pictures are not for Japan–South Korea relations. Last time you clearly said that they were for Asia!”

nCough, cough.

nLu Ming could almost not catch his breath.

nDamn!

nHow could the card remember all this?

nHe only mentioned it casually when he was dissing him!

n“You’ve got it wrong.”

nLu Ming coughed.

n“Impossible!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was certain. “After integrating with the Sky Water Sword, my abilities have been enhanced and I have a faster thinking speed. I remember all these things very well!

n“Humph!

n“Don’t try to lie to me!

n“Let me recall, other than this, you also mentioned something about Europe and America…”

nBam!

nLu Ming lifted his hand, using energy to interrupt Xiao-Xiaojian.

nCough.

n“Ah.

n“Don’t be too concerned with these small details.”

nLu Ming sighed. “I feel that… let’s not discuss this topic.”

nThis was a pointless argument!

n“You are indeed a liar!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was furious.

nTo think that it thought that Lu Ming was loyal to it!

nTrue enough, he only had eyes for the flirtatious sluts from the spirit body department!

nHumph, mankind.

nShush!

nLights flashed.

nXiao-Xiaojian went back to the Original Card to sleep.

n“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

nLu Ming asked.

nThe whole world was silent.

n“Alright.”

nLu Ming sighed.

nHe looked at the ground, the elder had been buried.

nLu Ming looked at the sky. It was better to return now.

nAs for the Sky Water Sword…

nHe would study it when he was back.

nThe energy fluctuations must have attracted a lot of people. There had already been a passer-by who came by to check. Although he was frightened by them and had left, it was likely that other people would come.

nHence…

nLu Ming packed up and left quietly.

nShush!

nLights and shadows flashed.

nLu Ming left the depths of the suburbs.

nHowever…

nAt this moment.

nHe kept having a strange feeling. It was odd… he kept feeling like… he had forgotten something…

n…

nAt this very moment…

nSomewhere.

nAt the entrance of a cave.

nA bonfire was burning.

nThe lady who was hung upside down drifted in and out of consciousness. She perspired profusely. Her whole body was soaked.

n“Save…

n“Cooked…”

nThe lady’s voice was getting softer and softer.

nSuddenly…

nA cool wind blew. It seemed that someone had appeared.

nThe lady was surprised and she instantly woke up. She looked in excitement toward the direction where the figure was coming and was dumbstruck.

nA strange creature appeared.

nShe could barely make out a vague outline from the corner of the blindfold that she was wearing. But she was certain she had never seen someone like that.

nAnyway…

nIt was not a human!

nA b-beast?

nThe lady was in utter despair.

nNot only would she be burned alive, she would also be eaten by monsters…

nHowever…

nWhen she took a closer look, she discovered that the beast did not come over to eat her. Instead, it looked around carefully.

nIt was to the extent that…

nIt had four limbs and yet it could walk on two legs!

nIt was a beast with a cognitive spirit!

nThe lady’s eyes lit up. It did not matter that it was a beast. Since it had a cognitive spirit, they could communicate with each other! It might be more reliable than humans!

n“S-save me…”

nThe lady asked for help.

nThe beast was motionless.

n“I beg you, please!”

nThe lady asked for help.

nThe beast still remained motionless.

n“I…

n“Oo… Oo…, I am almost cooked…”

nThe lady was teary-eyed.

nAfter hearing her pleas, the beast looked at her with some hesitation. It looked at the cave to make sure there was no one before it slowly came over.

n“Thank you! Thank you!”

nThe lady was so touched that she was in tears.

nFinally…

nShe would be saved!

n…

nAt this very moment…

nDeep in the suburbs.

nA handsome figure was quickly making its way around.

n“I remember that there is something that I have forgotten.”

nLu Ming sighed.

nIt was no wonder he kept feeling that he had forgotten something!

nWhen he fought with the elder previously, he had verified that there were no treasures in his cave. Therefore, he did not think of going back! Now that he thought about it…

nHe had indeed left something behind!

nThe female disciple from the Sword Card Master Association!

nAlthough she was a spy, it was a life.

nLu Ming thought about it and decided to go back to save her. After all, it was an easy task.

nThere was no other choice.

nHe was too kind-hearted.

n“Hehe.”

nXiao-Xiaojian’s voice could be heard. “What if she is not a beauty, but a burly man with scars?”

nLu Ming was silent for a long time.

n“Shut up!” Lu Ming said unhappily.

n“Humph, mankind!”

nXiao-Xiaojian sneered.

nLu Ming could not be bothered with it.

nSwoosh!

nSwoosh!

nHe hurried toward the cave.

nHowever…

nJust when he was about to reach it, Lu Ming felt a chill to his bones.

nIn the air…

nThere was a faint fragrance.

nHe smelled it. It was the smell of meat…

nLu Ming was taken aback.

nXiao-Xiaojian was shocked as well.

nOh.

nCrap!

nShe was almost barbecued…

nShe was simply the most miserable spy in history!

n“Hurry!

n“Let’s see if we are in time!”

nLu Ming rushed forward.

nHe reckoned that if she was medium rare, perhaps she could still be saved.

nHowever…

nThe closer he was, the more he felt something was wrong.

nThe smell…

nIt was almost well done!

nThere was an inexplicable feeling that the smell was somewhat familiar. When he reached the cave, he was dumbstruck!

n“What?”

nXiao-Xiaojian cast a curious glance and was dumbstruck too.

nNot too far in the distance.

nA lady was hanging above a bonfire.

nWas she cooked?

nNo.

nShe was still screaming…

nOf course.

nThis was not the point. The point was a living creature was carefully edging closer to her. Of course, this was not the main point as well. The main point was its identity!!!

nShush!

nThe creature noticed Lu Ming’s presence.

nHence…

nThe two of them glanced at each other.

nBang!

nA terrifying murderous intent emanated in the air.

n“You…

n“I-it’s you!”

nThe creature was able to use human language. “Although I have never seen you before, I can sense you! This is because… my energy is of the same origin as yours…

n“You…

n“It’s you!!!”

nThe creature rejoiced.

nThe lady was even more surprised.

nThey knew each other!

nThe president knew the creature!

nFurthermore…

nThe creature seemed to be very happy!

nIn that case…

nThere was hope for her!

nCheez—

nCheez—

nThe bonfire was still blazing. The lady felt a wave of heat.

n“Oo… Oo…

n“President, save me.

n“It’s hot…

n“I am in the wrong. Oo… Oo…

n“I’ll never be a spy again.

n“I’ll warm your bed everyday…

n“Oo… Oo…”

nThe lady begged for help.

nXiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

nLady…

nDo you know if Xiaobai heard what you just said, you will not get to live past tonight…

nHowever… they did not know that Lu Ming was in an awkward situation now.

n→_→

nLu Ming had a strange expression.

nWhy?

nThis was because the creature that could speak human language… was a cow! And, it was a golden roasted whole cow that smelled fragrant…

nThat was right!

nIt was the cow that was wanted by the police!

nLu Ming had seen it in the news!

nShush!

nThere was total silence.

nThere was only the burning sounds of the bonfire.

nWell….

nAnd the pleas of the lady.

nBuzz—

nFaint murderous intent emanated. The golden roasted whole cow stared at Lu Ming, its eyes full of greed. Lu Ming’s energy had the same origins as its energy!

nAnd it was a noble golden cow!

nAlthough it was well-done, it still had the special ability of golden cows—to devour!

nTherefore…

nIf it killed Lu Ming…

nPerhaps it could devour Lu Ming’s energy.

nHehe…

nAt the thought of this…

nIt was much happier.

nIt could not defeat the dean of The First Academy. However, killing Lu Ming was an easy feat. Perhaps, this could be its chance to soar to great heights!

n“Wait a minute.

n“This cow…

n“Is it that cow?”

nXiao-Xiaojian had come to its senses.

nAlthough the process was tortuous and magical, it did not stop the cow from having a cognitive spirit! This suggested that the card was amazing!

n“Crap!

n“I didn’t know you could create cows?

n“I thought you are only good at bragging1!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was in awe.

nThe golden cow that was not far away silently tightened its pelvis upon hearing those words.

nHuman beings… are indeed dangerous!

nLu Ming became sullen.

nThat was a metaphor. I am not going to blow…

nDamn!

nWho the hell wants to blow a cow!

nShush!

nThe murderous intent was even more obvious.

nLu Ming did not dare to relax.

nAlthough the cow had a funny appearance, he could clearly feel that its combat abilities…

nNo ordinary beast was able to escape from The First Academy. Lu Ming’s scalp felt numb and cold just from its murderous intent.

nThis cow…

nIt was much stronger than the elder!!!

nWhoosh!

nCold winds flew past him.

nThe golden roasted whole cow swung its hooves.

nShush!

nA faint golden trace of shiny oil flashed.

nThe shiny oil contained terrifying energy. Lu Ming was startled and he darted to the side. He was shocked to discover that the shiny oil had sealed all the paths outside the cave!

nThis cow…

nIt had sealed every possible escape route!

n“Hehe.”

nThe golden roasted whole cow looked at Lu Ming in excitement.

n“Little kid…

n“Let me devour you.”

nBang!

nLights exploded.

nThe golden roasted whole cow suddenly charged toward Lu Ming.

nShush!

nLu Ming hurried to retreat.

nThe combat capabilities of a peak six-star was far beyond his imagination, particularly when the other party was a special beast. It was all the more terrifying!

nAccording to rumors…

nThis kind of cow had to exercise regularly and maintain a good mood to ensure that its meat was tender…

nAlthough Lu Ming had no idea why food had to maintain a happy mood, many scientists in his previous life studied the method of raising healthy and happy livestock…

nAnyway, this cow exercised regularly and was physically fit!

nAfter its transformation, its combat capabilities were even more terrifying! Lu Ming who was only a five-star could not fight it head on. He had to retreat while fighting it off!

nBang!

nBang!

nBang!

nThe earth roared.

nTheir battle caused huge cracks in the ground.

nLu Ming retreated while fighting and was driven into the cave by the roasted whole cow!

nBang!

nBang!

nThe fighting was still ongoing.

nHowever…

nAt the entrance of a cave.

nThe lady that was being barbecued over the bonfire was going mad.

n“Is anyone there?

n“P-president!

n“The b-beast?

n“Oo… Oo…

n“S-save me!

n“I have never heard of spies that were forced into boiling pots… Oo… Oo…

n“I refused to do it but the head insisted that I be the spy. Now that I am a spy, they don’t even care about me. Oo… Oo… I only want to focus on my cultivation…

n“I am being cooked… Oo… Oo…

n“Why don’t…

n“You kill me…

n“It’s hot…”

nCheez—

nCheez—

nThe bonfire was burning.

nIt looked beautiful and surreal.

n…

n1 The Chinese pronunciation for this word sounds like blowing a cow.

n
