Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
After having a papaya feast with Xiaobai, Lu Ming slumped on the chaise lounge lazily again, turning his body occasionally. It was very comfortable.
Oo…Many days had passed.
The notification from the Energy Warrior Association would be arriving soon.
He had been waiting.
However…
At this moment.
Inexplicably…
There was a burning sensation in his chest.Eh…
Well?!
Damn!
Could it be because of the feast earlier…
“Xiaobai,”
“Yes.”
“Do you feel a burning sensation?”
“No.”
Xiaobai cast her master a doubtful gaze.
“What burning sensation?”
“It’s nothing.”
Lu Ming looked up.
Oh.
Perhaps it was because of the blazing sun.
He adjusted his posture and sure enough, he felt better.
At this very moment…
In the corner of the shop, two Original Cards were glowing fervently, carrying bricks enthusiastically and… attempting test questions rampantly.
“Why do I have to do such things?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very dissatisfied.
“I don’t expect a lot from you. It will do as long as you pass.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Even though it was very experienced, it was also a spirit body. Spirit bodies had innate spiritual wisdom and their thinking ability far exceeded that of humans. It should be easy for it to pass the test?
“Is this really useful?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very skeptical.
“Of course.”
Lu Ming was frank. “A long time ago, I knew of an archer. The arrows that he shot could turn corners, and continue to shoot forwards and kill his enemies instantly!
“He was very powerful.
“This is because he was an expert in geometry. He did calculations for the sky, ground, and air, and dominated for an era…
His mantra was — Simple geometry…”
Lu Ming was filled with nostalgia.
“Is this a real story or not?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very doubtful. It sighed immediately. “But I’m not interested in that. You can’t force everyone to become a mathematician.”
That made sense too.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “What books are you interested in then?”
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered deeply for a moment. “Those books under your bed?”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
He held onto Xiao-Xiaojian and gave it a round of bashings.
Tell me.
Aren’t you naughty?!
Have I not given you enough beatings?
…
Xiao-Xiaobai stole a furtive glance at Xiao-Xiaojian, who was being beat up and then at its adorable master. At that instant, it felt that life was filled with hope…
Hum!
Most likely, it would not end up like Xiao-Xiaojian.
It had to learn from its master!
…
At this very moment…
Qing Ming City.
Zhao Yunshan had also arrived at a particular hotel.
“Hello. Are you Zhao Yunshan?”
Li Haoran nodded slightly.
“Yes,” Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice.
“You matched the assessment criteria of our Sword Card Master Association. Therefore, I sent you some of the basic requirements of our vocation. Have you taken a look at them?” Li Haoran asked.
“I’ve read them.”
Zhao Yunshan did not hesitate at all.
The requirements were too simple!
To him, anything that could be resolved with money was not a problem!
As for other matters, it was also not a problem as he was a peak five-star Swordsman! He just wanted to know how far he could go when he embarked on the Swordsman path!
Could this vocation really make up for his lack of his talent in swordsmanship?
Could he and his older sister really compliment each other?
Mysterious technique…
Did it really exist?!
He knew that this would be his last fight.
If he were to fail this time and could not redeem himself with Sword Card Master, he was afraid that he could only return and miserably inherit his hundred million business empire!
That would be too shameful!
“In that case… Please re-cultivate.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
“Sure.”
Zhao Yunshan was long prepared.
Bang!
He dissipated his Sword Embryo.
He did not self-erupt or destroy it. Instead, he used a special method to dissipate all the energy in the Sword Embryo into the hotel room.
All of a sudden, the energy in the room increased by a thousandfold!
“This is…”
Li Haoran was shocked.
The mysterious Re-cultivation technique!
According to the rumors, this kind of mysterious technique could dissipate the vocation core and temporarily retain it. In that case, one could quickly re-absorb it and catch up rapidly after a successful re-cultivation!
It was just that…
It was a rumored mysterious technique and he did not expect this junior brother to…
This was crazy!
He was a rich tycoon, indeed!
Buzz—
The Sword Embryo dissipated.
The five-star aura from Zhao Yunshan’s body disappeared in that instant. Simultaneously, he began to re-construct his vocation core based on the guidelines in the textbooks.
Very soon…
A card condensed and formed before his eyes.
Buzz—
Endless energy flowed into it!
The energy in the Original Card suddenly began to increase in leaps and bounds.
One hundred points!
Two hundred points!
Three hundred points!
…
Nine hundred points!
One thousand points! He was already a two-star!
However…
His energy was still increasing exponentially.
Three thousand points!
Five thousand points!
Eight thousand points!
Ten thousand! Three-star!
…
Shush!
Shush!
Energy continued to surge into it.
This time, the energy no longer increased but transformed into pure tempering. Beginner three-star, intermediate three-star, advanced three-star, peak three-star…
Afterward…
The energy then dwindled a little.
Right then…
Li Haoran had not even finished the cup of tea in his hands.
Oh.
This damned krypton gold cultivator!
“Well… I still don’t know how to materialize the Original Card.”
Zhao Yunshan was somewhat regretful.
It was a sheer pity.
Otherwise, it would not be a problem for him to advance to four-star directly.
Li Haoran was expressionless.
Therefore, after re-cultivating, this guy had charged to peak three-star in merely a dozen seconds?! Furthermore, this was because he did not know how to materialize his card? A rich tycoon was really… willful!
“Next, is the birth of a card spirit, right?”
Zhao Yunshan remembered the conditions.
Well…
He then turned to the Original Card and said, “Original Card, Original Card, you are a mature Original Card, you have to learn to cultivate by yourself!”
It was a pity…
There was no reaction.
“It doesn’t seem to work.”
Zhao Yunshan was somewhat regretful.
“It’s okay.”
Li Haoran finally felt more at ease.
Look!
So what if he is a rich tycoon?
So what if he was a Swordsman?
Hahaha!
He cannot compete with me for the efficaciousness of the Sword Card Master phrase yet!
He had silently recited the phrase until his card spirit was born! His family’s Xiao-Xiaoshé was born this way. It was born during his quiet recital!
Oh.
That was right.
It was the same for senior brother Xiaoyan!
“Take your time,” Li Haoran consoled.
“No need.”
Zhao Yunshan pondered for a moment. “I have made the preparations.”
Afterward, he fished out a transparent gourd. Inside the gourd was a crystal clear monkey. The data of the spirit body was displayed in the gourd —
——
Spirit body type: Hidden species
Spirit body level: Peak six-star
Spirit body characteristic: It can grow.
Spirit body age: Zero days
Spirit body state: Dormant
Degree of rareness: Out of this world
——
Li Haoran was shocked. “W-what is this?”
“The spirit body that I just bought.”
Zhao Yunshan said honestly, “A rare spirit body that has been in dormancy since it was born is similar to a newborn spirit body. If it is implanted in the Original Card, it will become a card spirit then.”
Li Haoran could not come to his senses for a long time.
T-this…
This worked as well?!
Although his master had said before that the card spirit could be born in such a manner, everyone was well aware that a naturally born card spirit was the best!
Therefore…
He and Xiaoyan diligently followed senior sister’s methodology.
However, Zhao Yunshan…
What was the difference between a card spirit born this way and naturally?!
“I’ve always been lacking in talent.”
Zhao Yunshan was very honest. “Therefore, I reckoned that I wouldn’t be able to succeed with that method.”
“Alright,” Li Haoran agreed.
Afterward…
He saw Zhao Yunshan taking out more special equipment — Consciousness and Reality Spatial Swapping Machine. This was a legendary piece of technology still in its research stage.
“They have tested this and it can send the spirit body into the card without causing it any harm… However, it’s for single use only,” Zhao Yunshan explained.
There had been experiments on it…
Li Haoran looked at the sky.
Needless to say, this must have involved a massive amount of funds.
The amount of funds used by Junior brother for his re-cultivation was simply…
Swoosh!
Zhao Yunshan gingerly sent the spirit body into the Original Card and the machine was scrapped.
Buzz—
The spirit body was awakened.
A powerful aura was released instantly.
Although it was still very weak, that unique peak six-star aura was astonishing, especially — The fetus stage of a six-star spirit body.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
The Original Card was flying in the air.
The card spirit was already familiarizing itself with the environment.
Damn!
Li Haoran was shocked.
It turns out that a rich tycoon could cultivate like that?
…
Crash!
Crash!
Sounds of someone knocking on the door could be heard.
“Hello.”
A hotel employee entered. “We received lots of calls about weird noises coming from your room. If you guys continue to do that, we can only ask you to leave.”
They were expressionless.
It was true.
“Alright.”
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
After the employee left, he then said with a bitter smile, “It seems that we have to lower our volume.”
“Is there another place we can go?” Zhao Yunshan asked.
How could they soften their noises during cultivation?
“I’m not from here.”
Li Haoran felt very helpless too.
“Oh, then wait a minute.”
Zhao Yunshan stepped out.
Moments later.
He returned.
“It’s settled!” Zhao Yunshan said.
“What is settled?”
Li Haoran was puzzled.
“The hotel.”
Zhao Yunshan cast him a strange look. “I bought the hotel.”
Li Haoran was silent.
Ah.
This damned krypton gold cultivator!
However, he quickly calmed down. So what if he was very rich, he was still his junior brother! He was the one who taught him how to cultivate as a Sword Card Master!
So what if his progress was rapid?
Hehe.
“Come.”
Li Haoran smiled faintly. “We’ll carry out the next stage — taking the test.”
Huh?
Zhao Yunshan was puzzled.
This was not in the foundational teaching materials!
…
At this very moment…
In the shop.
Lu Ming was still lying in the rocking chair, revising and summarizing what he had learned.
“Master. Take some water.”
Xiaobai brought him a cup of warm water.
“Good.”
Lu Ming touched Xiaobai’s head.
Hum.
Xiaobai nestled in Lu Ming’s arms.
“You’re so obedient.”
Lu Ming was grateful. Afterward, he began to drink the water and suddenly felt that something was not quite right. The smell of this water… He took a closer glance and his face darkened instantly.
“Xiaobai,”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
“I-I’m here.”
Xiaobai stood up frantically.
“What did you put in the water?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“… N-nothing.”
Xiaobai sounded embarrassed.
“Tell me.”
Lu Ming glared at her.
This little girl had learned how to tell lies!
“Tea leaves,” Xiaobai lowered her head and said honestly.
“What kind of tea leaves?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“Uh…”
Xiaobai paused for a moment and then said gingerly, “The tea recommended by Third Junior Brother.”
Lu Ming was silent.
Oh.
The tea mentioned by Li Haoran last time. Since that’s the case, then it should not be a problem… Hell! How can there not be a problem! Why would I want tea to induce hair loss?
He took a closer look at his leg hair.
It was very thin.
Actually, it was not visible if one did not peer at it. It was almost similar to a woman’s hair. He didn’t have that much hair?!
“Look at this leg hair!
“It’s short and thin!
“It’s like a woman’s!”
Lu Ming was speechless. “Why do I need to remove my hair?”
“No.”
Xiaobai pointed at her smooth and jade-like skin. “Women don’t have any hair at all.”
“You’re different…”
Lu Ming lamented listlessly, “You’re a child… and you have not gone through puberty…”
Wait a minute.
Wrong.
Children also have hair!
“Wait a minute.”
Lu Ming took a closer look at her. Xiaobai’s skin was really smooth and jade-like. It was hairless! He could not even see any pores!
Lu Ming was taken aback.
What? Had Xiaobai mutated?!
“Come over here.”
Lu Ming pulled Xiaobai to the bedroom. “Pull up your clothes a little.”
Xiaobai was somewhat shy. “Master…”
“Up.”
Lu Ming glared at her.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai rolled up her sleeves and revealed the skin on her arm.
Well…
It was still smooth and jade-like.
There was really no hair!
How could this happen?!
This was strange.
Could it be that the pores on a woman’s body disappear after tempering?!
Oo…
He would ask other people about this.
Lu Ming contemplated. He did not know that many women.
Shush!
He opened his contacts.
He scrolled down and saw his sister’s name… Offline. It seemed that his sister had gone to the legacy site to cultivate. Lu Ming pondered for a moment and simply contacted Miss Xiaoqing.
“Xiaoqing.”
Lu Ming sent her a message. “Do you have any hair on your body?”
He had just sent it when he was quick to sense that this did not seem right. He quickly deleted the message. After contemplating again, he texted, “Xiaoqing, do you still have hair on your body after your physique becomes stronger?”
Well…
That was much better.
Shush!
Lu Ming sent the message again.
However…
Just at this moment, there was a response.
“Lu Ming!!! Don’t be too much of a bully!!! Even if my sister likes you, you can’t humiliate her in this way!”
He was bombarded with a string of messages.
Afterward…
There was silence. He reckoned that Gao Tianlang had also seen the message that he had sent.
“So, you’re asking about pilosity and cultivation.”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming sighed. “What were you thinking?”
He got no response.
“Where is Miss Xiaoqing?”
Lu Ming sighed.
With an elder brother who had a sister complex, it had to be very tough on Miss Xiaoqing.
“She’s cultivating! I’m helping her read her messages.”
Gao Tianlang explained, “I saw the message pop up. Initially, I couldn’t be bothered but your content was very inappropriate. So….”
“Understood.”
Lu Ming understood right away.
His initial words were certainly not very appropriate.
However…
Gao Tianlang had managed to read it even though he had deleted that message within a second?!
Within half a second, this guy had heard the wristband vibrating, swept his gaze across and finished reading the message before he deleted it?
Hahahaha…
A bunch of lies.
This person who had a sister complex was clearly checking his sister’s phone!
Hentai! [1. Outside of Japan, hentai (English: “pervert”) is anime and manga pornography. In the Japanese language,”hentai” is not a genre of media but any type of perverse sexual desire or act.]
“What should we do now?”
Lu Ming sighed.
“She’s going to finish cultivating soon.”
Gao Tianlang pondered for a moment. “I’ll delete this message. Can you resend it…”
“Okay.”
With this… Lu Ming was very satisfied.
Hence…
The two of them had a tacit understanding and pretended that nothing happened.
…
Moments later.
When Miss Xiaoqing read the message, she replied to Lu Ming seriously. “It doesn’t have anything to do with gender. When one’s fitness level becomes stronger, it will naturally evolve into a more powerful state!
“According to rumors…
“When the body is trained to its limit, it can be transformed into pure energy!
“It’s similar to the Energy Warrior’s vocation core!
“Leaving behind the purest form of energy!”
Xiaoqing responded seriously, “I have not achieved this yet.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Ming was grateful.
Look.
She was such a fine lady. Why did she have such an elder brother?
…
However…
Since Xiaoqing did not experience this, other people…
Oh.
Right.
He could ask Gao Tianlang too!
Hence…
Lu Ming messaged Gao Tianlang, “Gao Tianlang, do you have any hair on your body?”
Gao Tianlang’s face turned black.
If not for the fact that he knew what Lu Ming meant, he wanted to strangle him to death right now.
“Yes!”
Gao Tianlang said unhappily, “I’m a Swordsman and not an Energy Warrior. Furthermore, even if it happens for an Energy Warrior, it can only occur on one part of the body: their vocation core!”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming understood now. “Thank you.”
“Wait a minute.”
Gao Tianlang suddenly asked, “Do you know the vice-principal of Zi Yang Combat College?”
As he said that…
He sent an image to him.
Eh?
Lu Ming took a glance. Wasn’t this the person whom he dangled on the wall recently?
“I’ve seen him before. What happened?” Lu Ming asked.
“I just came out of seclusion. I heard that this guy cast Raging Flames Divine Bull and its power is shocking. I am guessing that he is likely the so-called Bull Demon King!
I suspect…
There is a high possibility that the Qing Ming City trampling bulls situation has something to do with him.”
Gao Tianlang wore an austere expression.
Lu Ming was speechless.
→_→
“Xiaoqing hasn’t told you?”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Told me about what?”
Gao Tianlang was puzzled.
“N-nothing.”
Lu Ming sighed. “This kind of thing. It’s more appropriate for her to tell you.”
Afterward…
Lu Ming simply hung up his communication device.
Gao Tianlang was dumbstruck.
What did he mean?
What’s the matter?
What happened between the two of you again?
Could it be that…
She’s really pregnant?!
