At the second mountain.
Body tempering.
Water gushed.
Streams of water hit the foot of the mountain. Horrifying sounds could be heard.It was coming!
Zhao Yunshan and the group was eager to try.
Body tempering!
This was their forte!
The Swordsman’s body tempering could not be compared to the Energy Warrior who could improve his physique purely with energy. Nevertheless, due to the nature of the profession, the Swordsman also had a strong and powerful physique.
This assessment was a platform for them to display their strengths.
Lu Ming?Glancing at Lu Ming’s thin body frame, they felt vaguely smug.
Well…
He could no longer fool around this time!
“These waters…”
Lu Yan stood at the side.
She dipped her hands into the water and felt it for a moment. She then said, “This water contain substances that can nourish the body. It’s very good for tempering the body.”
True enough!
Everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
There were trials followed by assessments!
Even if they did not pass the assessments, they could still improve themselves tremendously!
“Let me go first!”
Wu Hongfei was smarter this time.
Seeing that Zhao Yunshan was still deep in thoughts, he plunged into the waters immediately.
Bang!
Waves engulfed him. Before Wu Hongfei could react, he was flushed back to the shore; his body plastered to the massif of the mountain. A deafening and earth-shattering sound could be heard.
Pfft!
He spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
Wu Hongfei’s face was as white as a sheet.
The currents… were so ferocious!
Everyone looked terror-stricken.
This body tempering assessment did not seem so easy!
“Brother.”
Gao Xiaoqing’s face turned slightly pale.
The currents were too fearsome. One’s body had to be extremely strong in order to swim across! Only those who had a tempered physique could pass this assessment!
“It’s alright.”
Gao Tianlang said gently, “Wait for me here. If I didn’t guess it wrong, a path will appear after someone passes the assessment.”
This was based on their experience at the first mountain.
“But…”
Gao Xiaoqing gritted her teeth.
Was she going to give up just like that?
No!
Obviously, the waters could improve one’s ability. Why should she give up?
Even if she could not complete the assessment, her body would benefit greatly as long as she immersed herself in the waters. There were obvious gains from this. Why wouldn’t she enter the waters?
At most…
She would bear the impact of the blow by the currents…
“Brother. I want to give it a try,” Gao Xiaoqing insisted.
“If you…”
Gao Tianlang seemed to have recalled the words from his sister’s master. After pausing for a moment, he actually agreed. “Alright, I will look out for you.”
“Yes.”
Gao Xiaoqing took a deep breath.
She walked to the side of the waters and looked at the ferocious currents. Gritting her teeth, she jumped in.
Bang!
Waves hit her.
Be careful!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Gao Xiaoqing was not a Swordsman and could suffer grave injuries from this. Of course, if she could withstand the waves, she would definitely benefit greatly!
At this very moment…
Wu Hongfei’s face had become much rosier. Sure enough, the waters had powerful nourishing effects. He had recovered in just a few moments!
Of course.
He had also seen the young lady jumping into the waters.
Tsk tsk…
Young ladies nowadays were so brave.
She went all out!
However, this young lady was merely at a three-star peak. Furthermore, she was an Array Master, which was an auxiliary vocation. Hence, she might suffer grievous injuries by jumping into the waters.
Hence…
He instinctively glanced at Gao Xiaoqing.
Bang!
Gao Xiaoqing entered the waters.
The ferocious waves rushed towards and hit her. A sullen groan could be heard. Gao Xiaoqing’s face was ghastly pale. Nevertheless, she managed to steady herself only after a few seconds.
Wait a minute…
She was holding up well?
Wu Hongfei was dumbfounded.
Even he, a dignified five-star Swordsman, spat blood. He had also gone through body tempering, albeit not a professional one. Nevertheless, he was at that level!
However, this lady…
He was appalled. Wasn’t she an Array Master?
Could it be that, similar to the Energy Warrior, the Array Master was also a profession that entailed close combat?
At this very moment…
Gao Tianlang heaved a sigh of relief.
She had withstood it!
His younger sister’s physique had been in a poor state. She had suffered serious injuries after being trampled twice by the bulls and her master was enraged. Hence, he had specially prepared large amounts of herbs to help his younger sister strengthen her body!
Judging from this, the herbs worked!
He felt more at ease.
Shush!
Gao Tianlang leaped forward and stepped into the waters too.
“Come on!
Zhao Yunshan laughed hysterically.
One by one, everyone stepped into the waters and headed into the distance.
Bang!
Bang!
The waves raged rampantly.
Everyone’s body constantly deteriorated and then recovered, and their physique kept strengthening.
“You’re not going?”
Lu Yan glanced at her younger brother.
Lu Ming was silent for a long time.
He did not know if it was the Lunar Shadow assessment or other reasons, but there was a huge problem and he could not participate in this assessment at all.
Because…
He did not know how to swim!
In his past life, he was a homebody living in the capital, the northern part of the country. The biggest lake that he had ever seen was the bathhouse located at the corner of the second street of Haidian district, the one that was not lit up with pink lights at night.
In this life?
Little Lu Ming did not have any swimming experience either!
He searched Little Lu Ming’s memory. When he was a child, he loved to follow his elder sister around and splash waters when she was bathing. Besides that, there were no other memories of swimming!
Wait a minute!
That memory…
Lu Ming wanted to take a clearer glimpse but realized that he could not.
Oo…
Was it too long ago?
In that case, when his willpower became stronger…
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Lu Ming?”
Lu Yan looked at him worriedly. Her younger brother was suddenly silent and had a strange expression on his face.
Cough, cough.
Lu Ming coughed.
“It’s alright. I am just thinking of how to pass through it.”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
“Yes.”
Lu Yan felt more at ease then.
This was her younger brother, indeed. Sure enough, he had not given up.
It was fine that they did not fight for the so-called Lunar Shadow legacy. Nevertheless, it was best to participate in assessments that would obviously benefit everyone.
Bang!
Bang!
The waves surged.
Everyone was sprinting in the waters.
As the waters had powerful nourishing effect, despite suffering injuries or exhausting their energy, they were able to recover after resting for a while.
The recovery rate was better for the spots with greater currents!
Which meant…
As long as they could withstand the impact, they would be able to travel further and become stronger.
Charge!
Charge!
Charge!
Everyone charged forward fervently.
Of course.
This amazing momentum also caused some of them to spew a lot of blood as they sprinted…
It was very odd and mysterious.
Lu Ming was silent.
Swordsmen! Obviously, they were all masochistic!
This was crazy!
Did they need such a complicated way to assess one’s physique?
You could get a machine to assess or since the Elder Lunar Shadow was so powerful, couldn’t he tell by one glance?
Hell… what kind of assessment was this?
Hehe…
This old man would be beaten to death alive if he lived in the north!
…
What to do?
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment and suddenly asked, “Sister, how are you going to cross?”
“Walking.”
Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent.
Shush!
She stepped into the waters.
Bang!
A surge of waves appeared.
The tip of Lu Yan’s feet tapped gently on the waves. She actually rose into the sky at that moment and then walked with ease. She did not fall into the waters despite taking a few successive steps…
T-this…
Walking on water?
Lu Ming was shocked. Could a Swordsman do such a thing?!
It was very powerful!
Swordsmen were amazing!
This was the first time that he felt the strong powers possessed by a Swordsman. He was astounded!
Of course, he did not know that… At this very moment, Wu Hongfei and the group, who had been swimming fervently, were almost flushed back to the shore by a huge wave after they turned back and glanced at them. This was because their first reaction was similar to that of Lu Ming. What?! Could a Swordsman do that?
Moments later.
Lu Yan returned with ease.
She was too powerful.
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
However, he regained his senses very quickly. “But you can’t strengthen your body if you pass through the waters in this way!”
“I don’t need it.”
Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Therefore…
He was the only one who could not pass through this?!
He glanced over. Even Xiaoqing was splashing around diligently. That position…
“Sister, do you want to teach me how to swim?”
Lu Ming sighed.
Lu Yan fell silent for a moment. “I don’t know how to.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
The siblings glanced at each other.
“Sister, you’re a genius.”
Lu Ming sighed.
This was the first time that his sister did not know something.
“Because I have had no use for it all this while.”
Lu Yan felt a little embarrassed.
Geniuses could pick things up quickly but it did not mean that they knew everything!
She really could not see how a skill such as swimming would be useful! Clearly, she could step and walk on water. Why did she need to learn how to swim?!
As for going into the water?
She could also use the same method to fight in the water!
Swimming…
She really had no use for it.
A—alright.
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Should he ask Miss Xiaoqing?
He glanced at Miss Xiaoqing, who was gritting her teeth and splashing diligently and felt too ashamed to call her. He knew that this lady bore a grudge and wanted to compete with him!
What to do?
Lu Ming looked to a distance.
Everyone was diligently charging forward…
The ferocious waters were essentially similar to the Sword Intent in the snowstorm. They could improve one’s ability and strengthen one’s body. Wasn’t it a pity to give this up?
This was a rare encounter!
“Why don’t you temper your body here?”
Lu Yan pondered for a moment. “I’ll get you some water and you can soak in it.”
“The energy in the waters will be depleted very soon.”
Lu Ming shook his head.
Those people could temper their bodies in the waters because the water was constantly moving!
If they took out the water, the water would naturally become ordinary once the nourishment in it had been fully absorbed!
It would be meaningless!
Furthermore, the waters at the foot of the mountain had the least nourishment!
The closer they were to the destination, the greater the nourishment!
Over here?
It was not that meaningful.
“It’s alright.”
Lu Yan pondered for a moment. “I’ll get water for you from the further parts, which has a higher concentration of nourishment. At most, I’ll run more.”
Lu Ming felt heartwarmed. This was his sister after all.
However, sister, do you know that you will spoil me? Fortunately, it was him. If it was ordinary folks, most likely, they would have no qualms about accepting their elder sister’s protection.
How could he do this?
Was this something that a man should do?!
He was different.
Although he accepted his sister’s protection, it was not without any qualms.
→_→
Lu Ming paused for a moment. Was there a difference?
He shook his head.
He looked at the massive waters in front of him.
However…
Was this the only way?
Even if his sister could run to and fro, how far could she run?!
How many trips could she make?
“This will not do,” Lu Ming muttered to himself.
Didn’t he tell himself not to be a burden to his sister?
Look, even Gao Xiaoqing was splashing diligently. Although her moves were a little ugly, the young lady had been trying hard!
Well…
He had to think of a way.
Lu Ming swept his gaze to a distance.
Lake waters…
Nourishment…
Swimming…
…
Lu Ming’s thoughts jumped from one to another.
He lay out all his current abilities in his mind and then looked at the inheritors. He finally thought of something.
Perhaps…
It was worth a try!
Shush!
Lu Ming squatted down. He took out the Card Creating Pen and began to create cards on the spot.
Eh?
Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with curiosity. What was her younger brother trying to do this time?
