n

nTian Du City.

nIn the suburbs.

nIn a certain cave, a massive war was going on.

nHowever…

nThe golden cow was ultimately a golden cow!

nAlthough the few roasted organs were as powerful as it was, they were small in size and the four of them could not contend with one of it. Gradually, they were in a disadvantageous position.

nVery soon…

nThe roasted short ribs had been devoured on the spot.

nShush!

nGolden lights surged.

nThe short ribs regrew in the body of the golden cow!

n“This will do as well?!”

nLu Ming was speechless.

nWas this the so-called special devouring ability of the golden cow?

nHence…

nThe initial battle of four vs. one became three vs. one. The golden cow grew more domineering, subduing the other three roasted foods. It was going to devour all of them, one by one!

n“This won’t do!”

nLu Ming squinted his eyes.

nThey could not beat it…

nThat was simple.

nShush!

nHe raised his hands and dissipated two Stealing Cards.

nBuzz—

nHe had a ‘roasted beef tenderloin’ in his hands!

nBuzz—

nHe had a ‘roasted beef brisket’ in his hands!

nShush!

nThe golden cow glanced at the ‘roasted beef brisket’ in Lu Ming’s hands.

n“Scoundrel!”

nThe golden cow was furious. A murderous intent formed in its eyes. It would annihilate this shameless human who invaded its ‘privacy’ sooner or later!

nAnd…

nThe card…

nThe card in Lu Ming’s hands was too strange and mysterious. When he cast it, one of its organs went missing! It had never seen such special powers before!

nHe had heard that humans loved to brag 1. Brag means to blow bulls in Chinese! What if, what if…

nThis would not do!

nThe cow trembled at the thought of this!

n“You are dead meat!”

nThe golden cow dashed toward Lu Ming furiously.

n“It’s a pity.

n“You no longer have a chance.”

nLu Ming smiled faintly.

nShush!

nThe Will-O-Wisp Card in his hands dissipated.

nBuzz—

nLights flashed.

n“Roasted beef tenderloin’ and ‘roasted beef brisket’ revived instantly and skimmed to the front of the golden cow, blocking its attack. They then retaliated excitedly!

nWell….

nThey would just fight!

nDevouring was their basic instinct and they watched the golden cow greedily.

n“Humph!

nThe golden cow sneered.

nDo you really think that my IQ is as low as these useless organs?!

nIt knew that it could not beat Lu Ming due to the latter’s strange and mysterious cards. Therefore, it was long prepared. It was time…

nBang!

nGolden lights surged.

nPowerful forces erupted in the surroundings of the golden cow. However, this time, it did not attack the organs or Lu Ming. It attacked the inside of the cave!

nClang!

nThere was a deafening sound.

nCountless gravel fell from the mountain crest.

nAbout to collapse, the entire mountain began to shake.

n“This is…”

nLu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

n“It is demolishing the mountain!”

nXiao-Xiaojian turned pale and frantic. “This golden cow has your bloodline, indeed!”

nThis was true.

nThe golden cow was going to tear down the mountain!

nLu Ming was wearing a dumbstruck expression as well.

nThis was his forte during combat. He would turn the tables if he could not beat the opponent! Never did he expect someone to use the same tactic on him one day!

nFurthermore, it was a cow that he had created!

n“Does it want to perish with us?”

nLu Ming squinted his eyes.

n“It did not seem to.”

nXiao-Xiaojian swept its sense of perception across the place. “It is merely a peak six-star golden cow. Most likely, it won’t be crushed to death. Furthermore, it is already fully cooked and won’t suffocate even if it is buried.”

nLu Ming was speechless.

nTherefore…

nHe was the only one that would die?

nTrue enough, this was his way of fighting…

nBang!

nBang!

nThere were two loud bangs.

nThe cave collapsed completely.

nThe mountain crest collapsed under the powerful forces of the golden cow. With the sudden collapse of the enormous crest, all the living creatures in this cave were going to be buried alive!!!

nThe golden cow stood tall and proud.

nLooking at the mountain crest that had collapsed, it was long prepared.

nSnort! Snort!

nOnce the mountain crest collapsed, the few organs would either become dead or crippled. When that time came, it could devour them. As for Lu Ming, most probably, he would be smashed into minced meat…

nHowever…

nLu Ming merely looked up calmly.

nThe cave had collapsed.

nThe mountain crest had crumbled and countless gravel was falling down the mountain.

nUnder such impact, one would definitely be dead meat if they were not a seven-star. Therefore, Lu Ming instinctively took out a card and was prepared to use it.

nAfterward…

nHe paused for a moment.

nHe looked up. Although that enormous mountain crest was horrifying, due to the collapse of the mountain, the beautiful night sky had appeared above the crown of his head…

nIsn’t that beautiful?

nA trace of smile flashed across Lu Ming’s face.

nHence…

nJust at this critical moment.

nJust as the golden cow’s gaze was filled with anticipation, it was horrified to see a flash of light beneath Lu Ming’s feet. He actually rose to the sky and transformed into a beautiful arc, entering into the clouds directly! That beautiful trajectory dodged the enormous mountain crest and traversed the gravels continuously, soaring into the sky!

nThe golden cow’s eyes widened in disbelief.

nDo five-star humans know how to fly?!

nBang!

nThe mountain crest collapsed and countless specks of dust flew.

nThe sky of gravel followed suit, drowning and burying the destroyed cave completely! Lu Ming was the only one who was flying on the card and drifting in the sky, looking elegant amid the night scenery.

nIt was over.

nLu Ming’s expression was calm.

nBeating a cow was nothing to be happy about.

nFurthermore…

nIt was a cow he had created! Damn!

n“Do you think it is dead?”

n“Maybe not.”

n“What should we do then?”

n“Wait,” Lu Ming said calmly.

nTrue enough.

nJust as he finished his words, a deafening sound shook them. The few mountain crests that formed half the mountain range were beginning to shake and countless gravel rolled down again.

nClang!

nClang!

nGradually, the mountain crest which had collapsed into the cave rose by two meters!!!

n“This is…”

nXiao-Xiaojian was stunned.

n“Yes.”

nLu Ming sneered coldly.

nShush!

nHis body drifted to the ground.

nOver there.

nBelow the mountain crest, a shining, golden cow was lifting it with its two hooves!

nThat was right…

nThe golden cow actually lifted the mountain crest!!!

nAlthough it had almost died from the collapse, it devoured the organs very quickly and recovered its combat ability. Therefore, it could lift the huge mountain!

nThis was the golden cow, indeed!

nThe last time Lu Ming came across such divine powers was when that seven-star Energy Warrior big shot moved a mountain and flouted the law. He was fined!

nThe one before his eyes…

n“Tsk tsk.”

nLu Ming clicked his tongue and marveled.

nThe golden cow cast a cold and indifferent look at Lu Ming who was in front of it. Both its hooves were holding onto the mountain crest. Lu Ming discovered for the first time that a golden cow could raise its hooves in that way.

nAmazing!

n“Don’t you feel tired lifting it?”

nLu Ming was curious.

nThe golden cow looked at him coldly. “Do you think you can kill me?”

n“Let me try.”

nLu Ming tried to use Xiao-Xiaojian to blast various attacks at the golden cow. The oily shine of the golden cow flashed and Lu Ming was shocked to discover that his attacks did not work.

n“We can’t hit him?”

nLu Ming glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian.

n“There’s something wrong with the oil on its body.”

nXiao-Xiaojian felt helpless.

nThe oily shine on this golden cow’s body was infused with energy. It was very uncanny.

n“This is holy oil!”

nThe golden cow was smug. “You’re just a spirit body. What do you know!”

n“Aren’t you also a spirit body?”

nXiao-Xiaojian became sullen.

nDo you think that you are no longer a spirit body just because you’re occupying the ‘body’ of food?!

nTo put it bluntly…

nThe nature of the Will-O-Wisp Card was to give food consciousness. Wasn’t this also a spirit body?! Weren’t tree spirits, rabbit spirits and toilet bowl spirits all spirit bodies?!

nIn this era…

nThe world was nourished by rich energy. As long as consciousness was born, one was considered a spirit body!

nHowever, aspirit body did not have a body!

nAnd the golden cow… was just occupying the ‘body’ of food!

nBased on Xiao-Xiaojian’s current estimations and the outcome of the integration between the Sky Water Sword and the Original Card, the nature of the Will-O-Wisp Card was to accelerate the birth process of the spirit body!

nThat was all.

nUpon the combination of energy and the residual memory of the food ingredients, a living species such as the golden cow was born!

nNo matter what —

nIt was still a spirit body!

n“This is called the complete state of a spirit body! How can you be compared to me?”

nThe golden cow was proud.

n“As for you…”

nIt looked at Lu Ming. “When I get out, I will devour you. Perhaps I can transform into a human, devour your powers and conquer the world!”

nLu Ming was silent.

nIs barbecued food nowadays that ambitious?!!!

nAfter a long while…

nLu Ming sighed. “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”

n“Hehe.”

nThe golden cow sneered.

nIf he wanted to kill it, he would have to come find it!

nIt was a pity…

nIf Lu Ming dared to approach it, it would give up the mountain crest without any hesitation. This mountain crest would drop again. Lu Ming was just a human and he would not be able to survive!

nHe wanted to kill it?

nNo way that would happen.

n“Come out if you dare!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was furious.

n“Haha!”

nThe golden cow scoffed. “Come in if you dare!”

nHence…

nThe conversation became very uncanny.

n“Come in if you dare!”

n“Come out if you dare!”

n“Come in if you dare!”

n“Come out if you dare!”

nLu Ming turned sullen.

nDo you guys have to carry out such an idiotic conversation?!

nAs for the golden cow…

nThere seems to be a way to deal with it.

nShush!

nLu Ming took out a Stealing Card.

n“Hehe.”

nThe golden cow smiled but said nothing. “I already saw your card when we fought earlier. How many more of such cards do you have?”

nLu Ming was speechless.

nThis cow had even thought of this!

nThis was true.

nLu Ming did not have many Stealing Cards left!

nThe golden cow was too powerful and Lu Ming had gone all out right from the beginning. He would have long killed it had he thrown a few stacks of Stealing Cards at it!

nThe problem was that… he did not have enough cards!

nThe Stealing Card was a unique card and just one of it could cripple an ordinary Energy Warrior. He might die after he cast two cards…

nWho could endure 10 cards?!

nThe golden cow could!

nTherefore…

nLu Ming had already tried to restrain himself from using all of them. However, to an undead creature such as the golden cow, the loss of 10 organs did not seem a big deal.

nFurthermore, it had duplicate organs!

nAs such…

nThe golden cow was not afraid!

n“I can create on the spot!”

nLu Ming was calm.

n“Do you have enough energy?”

nThe golden cow almost died of laughter.

nDid he have enough energy to create and cast the card on the spot?

nWhen he had encountered Lu Ming earlier, Lu Ming had just fought a huge battle with someone else. He then fought with it afterward. How much energy did he have left?!

nThis was ridiculous!

nLu Ming squinted his eyes.

nThis golden cow was smarter than he thought!

nOh well… after all, this was a spirit body!

nJudging from the situation, amongst all the spirit bodies that he knew, Xiao-Xiaojian was the only one that was bad at mathematics…

nClang!

nThere was a deafening sound.

nThe golden cow raised the mountain crest by another meter.

nAccording to this speed, it was highly possible that the golden cow would escape once it had recovered its powers. When that time came, Lu Ming would be in real trouble!!!

n“Let’s go,” Xiao-Xiaojian suggested.

nLu Ming looked at it and remained silent.

nThe cow was looking at them, like a tiger watching its prey. How could they leave?!

nBesides…

nThey had fought two huge battles today!

nThey had attained the Sky Water Sword during their battle with the elder!

nThis golden cow suddenly showed up and he had to leave in such an embarrassing manner after wasting that many of his cards for no reason… He refused to have a loss-making business!

nThe bull head…

nWell….

nShould he give it a try?

nAfter contemplating, Lu Ming activated the Stealing Card in his hands!

nShush!

nLights and shadow flashed.

nLu Ming was somewhat hoping that the Stealing Card would steal either the front or back hoof of the golden cow. However, the Stealing Card stole the roasted beef tenderloin instead!

nThe loss of one piece of beef tenderloin only decreased the combat ability of the golden cow by less than one percent!

n“Hahaha!”

nThe golden cow laughed loudly. “What other solutions do you have?!”

nLu Ming was silent.

nSeemingly…

nHe really had no other options…

nThis golden cow’s combat ability had far exceeded his imagination. Most critically, it was unlike ordinary fearsome beasts. It had the intelligence of a spirit body!

nThe situation was very troublesome.

nWho would have thought that he would be defeated by food…

nEh?

nFood?

nWell….

nLu Ming was deep in thought as he looked at the roasted beef tenderloin in his hands.

nAfter a long while…

nHe said, “Tell me… Will my energy be replenished if I eat this beef tenderloin?”

nShush!

nThere was dead silence in the surroundings.

nThe smug look on the golden cow’s face froze immediately.

nDamn!

nNo way?

n“Give it a try?”

nXiao-Xiaojian’s eyes shone.

nWell….

nLu Ming looked at the stolen roasted beef tenderloin in his hands. As he did not use the Will-O-Wisp Card, the food in his hands was purely food!

nFurthermore…

nThanks to the fresh and tender quality of the golden cow meat, it smelled very… good.

nHence…

nLu Ming simply took a bite.

nSs——

nLu Ming gasped a breath of energy!

nThis taste! How tender and smooth!

nBang!

nThe beef entered his body.

nLu Ming could clearly sense a gush of pure energy blasting in his body. The energy that he had depleted earlier was replenishing at lightning speed!!!

nUltimately…

nThe golden cow was a peak six-star food ingredient!

nIt was a peak six-star!

nSuch food ingredients contained a huge amount of energy. This was also the reason that it would become more powerful after being nourished by the Will-O-Wisp Card!!!

nClick!

nClick!

nLu Ming finished off the entire piece of beef tenderloin. He could only describe it in one word – Fabulous!

nBeef…

nThat’s good stuff!

nHence…

nRiding the surging energy in his body, Lu Ming squatted down and began to create the Stealing Card!

nThe golden cow turned pale.

nOh. Damn!

nLu Ming had just consumed its meat to replenish his energy. He then used this energy to create the Stealing Card, steal its organs and then eat them again to replenish his energy…

n“Lu Ming! Don’t be that much of a bully!”

nThe golden cow was enraged.

nShush!

nLu Ming raised his hands and roasted beef short ribs appeared. He nibbled at them happily. There were actually bone marrows in the golden cow’s beef short ribs!

nThat surge of energy…

nSs——

nLu Ming felt the energy in his body surging. There were vague signs of him breaking through!

nAlthough he had a hundred thousand points of energy in his body, he was merely a beginner five-star. It felt fabulous to be nourished by peak six-star food!

nClick!

nClick!

nLu Ming was eating very quickly.

n“Lu Ming!

n“You’re courting death!”

nThe golden cow appeared to be fierce but felt fearful at heart.

nShush!

nLu Ming raised his hand and a beef brisket appeared.

nThe golden cow took a deep breath. “It’s better to live and let live.”

nShush!

nLu Ming raised his hand and a beef shank went missing.

nThe golden cow turned pale. “This is disgusting. Do you really want to kill me?”

nShush!

nLu Ming raised his hand and a beef paddywack appeared.

n“Brother, give me some face!”

nThe golden cow surrendered. “Look, I’m a peak six-star after all. Can we cooperate in the future? We will definitely be invincible and we can vanquish other peak six-stars!”

nShush!

nLu Ming raised his hand again.

n“I was wrong, Father!”

nThe golden cow was in tears. “I will be your slave from now on. You can ride me if you want to!”

n“Shut up!”

nLu Ming’s face darkened. Damn it, who wants to ‘ride’ a small female bull like you?! Am I that kind of person?! With my good looks, since when am I reduced to such a state…

n“Huh?”

nThe golden cow was puzzled. “Can’t you ride on my back?”

nIt remembered that, in the history of mankind, many seniors rode bulls. There was a senior who once rode a bull and headed to the west. There were many of his stories in history. Why was Lu Ming angry?

nIt could not figure it out.

nLu Ming was silent.

nOh.

nThat was what it meant by ‘ride’…

n→_→

nThankfully…

nBefore he could feel embarrassed, Xiao-Xiaojian became furious.

n“You are courting death!

n“You actually want to seize my responsibility!”

nXiao-Xiaojian was enraged. “Lu Ming, kill it!”

n“Okay,” Lu Ming agreed.

nShush!

nHe raised his hand and a beef brisket appeared again.

nThe golden cow was reduced to tears.

nIt really did not know why Lu Ming and the sword spirit were angered when it was willing to be rode on! It could only wail and plead with everything it could. However…

nIt no longer had a chance.

nShush!

nShush!

nLu Ming ate, created cards and cultivated at the same time.

nAfter a long while…

nHe successfully attained an intermediate five-star breakthrough!

nThat was right!

nUnder the terrifying forces of the energy, Lu Ming reached a new level and he felt energized! On the other hand, the golden cow subdued by the mountain crest did not have much energy left…

nIt was still hanging on.

nAlthough its ability had weakened significantly, its intelligence was still around.

n“Do you still refuse to come out?”

nLu Ming smiled and looked at it.

nThe golden cow was silent.

nThere were sounds of sighs.

nIt knew that Lu Ming would not let it go!

n“Are you sure that you won’t kill me?” the golden cow said with a low voice.

n“Since you collected information about me, you should have heard about a certain department in our Sword Card Master Association?”

nLu Ming said calmly.

n“I understand now.”

nThe golden cow sighed.

nAfter a long while…

nLights and shadows circulated.

nBuzz—

nThe golden cow shone brightly. It actually left the food and transformed into a spirit body, drifting out from below the mountain crest and appearing beside Lu Ming.

nThis was the effect of the Will-O-Wisp Card!

nExpedite the birth of the spirit body!!!

nThis was true.

nThis was the actual body of the golden cow!

n“Come over here,” Lu Ming said calmly.

n“Yes.”

nThe golden cow’s spirit body was a small, golden cow. It was very complete. It walked to Lu Ming respectfully and then raised its head slightly. Suddenly, its expression became ferocious.

nShush!

nGolden lights surged.

nIt dashed into Lu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness instantly.

n“Hahaha!

n“Idiot!

n“I’ll show you the true prowess of a peak six-star…”

nThe shouting suddenly stopped.

nIn that instant.

nThe golden cow knelt in the Sea of Consciousness. “Father, I am sorry. I was wrong.”

nXiao-Xiaojian, “(〃’▽’〃)”.

nWhy do you have to do this?

nTsk tsk.

nBut then again, I have done the same thing in the past….

nLu Ming also did not know whether to laugh or cry.

nHe was not guarded against the spirit body because he had a trump card!

nThis guy…

nForget it.

nHe would bring it back first.

nLu Ming reckoned that the golden cow had already surrendered. He would bring it back to the spirit body department. This cow would be a very powerful card spirit in the future!

nHe had gained big this time. His ability strengthened and he had reached intermediate five-star! He had also subdued a peak six-star spirit body!

nOf course.

nMost importantly…

nHe had a better understanding of the true function of the Will-O-Wisp Card!

nThe transformation of the food was due to the huge amount of energy in it. This was the reason that people nowadays loved high quality food ingredients! This was because they had abundant energy!

nIn that case…

nIn the future…

nPerhaps…

nHe would be able to create spirit bodies on his own?!

nThis was a major thing for the Sword Card Master Association!!!

nOf course, he had attained the Sky Water Sword during the battle with that elder. For Lu Ming, tonight was a huge change! It was also a great fortune and blessing!

nRight now, be it the Sky Water Sword or the Will-O-Wisp Card, there were many things that Lu Ming wanted to find out about them.

nOo… He would research them when he was back.

n“There is some more food inside.”

nXiao-Xiaojian glanced at the foot of the mountain covetously.

nInside…

nThere were some remnants of the golden cow!

nAccording to rumors, this was the food specially prepared for the dean of The First Academy to increase his ability. It could certainly help in his cultivation!

nThis was the reason that Lu Ming could advance that easily!

nThey had to finish it!

nHow could they waste this food?!

n“It’s alright.”

nLu Ming squinted his eyes. “I have some other uses for this.”

n“Huh?”

nXiao-Xiaojian was dazed.

n“You’re already leaving. What’s the use of leaving this behind?”

n“I know what I’m doing.

n“Let’s go.”

nLu Ming stood up.

nShush!

nLights and shadow flashed.

nLu Ming rose to the sky and wanted to leave the cave. Afterward, he paused for a moment… A thought came to his mind and he dashed to the entrance of the cave.

nOver there, there was pin-drop silence.

n…

n
