At the starting point.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck as he stared at the scene before his eyes.
Seriously…
He was innocent.
This was how things were.
Didn't everyone start to destroy the Sword Aura?
Initially, Lu Ming also wanted to follow suit. However, after pondering, he felt that perhaps the Demolition Card was the best card to use for destroying the Sword Aura. It was thus not very appropriate for him be with the group. Gao Tianlang would most probably beat him to death. So, he wanted to remain at his current spot to prepare some Demolition Cards and create some energy cows.
It was true.
These were very simple 'operations'.
He had already thought about it. This time, he would not compete with those big shots for the first place. After all, the upgrade of the Original Card would not make a significant difference in a Card Creator's progress.
At most, he would become more resistant to attacks when sealing the cards?
He would not explode from the punches?
That was all.
Of course.
Even if he wanted to fight with them, he would not win!
After all, he was a Card Creator. There were five-star Swordsmen, five-star Sorcerer and six-star Elementalist… They were all big shots!
Why would he join in the 'fun'?
Therefore…
He only wanted to create cards here quietly!
He would unleash his potential and maximize his benefits, and improve his Original Card as much as possible. It was such a small and simple goal!
Hence…
He conscientiously created a pile of Demolition Cards and threw them out.
Thousands of bulls appeared at the same time…
The abilities of those bulls were in fact not considered strong. Despite the large quant.i.ty, they could at most demolish a small area of Sword Aura. Nevertheless, just as they trampled simultaneously…
The entire mountain range was shaking and giving out wailing sounds, seemingly unable to endure the storm.
That was it.
A small area of Sword Aura had really been demolished. However, the fourth mountain collapsed directly from the quakes.
T-this…
Lu Ming had not come to his senses.
It was true.
You are a legacy!
You're not a mine hill!
You are a dignified and ancient Swordsman legacy site. How can you be as weak as a tofu residue!
You're a fake mountain, right?!
"Sister?"
Lu Yan glanced at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan stared at Lu Ming for a long time with a strange look in her eyes, before speaking, "Confess honestly. Are you the one who ravaged Gao Xiaoqing?"
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat. What do you mean by ravage?
That was an unintentional injury!
"That was just an accident."
Lu Ming sighed.
"What about this time?"
Lu Yan looked afar.
Bang!
There were loud booming noises.
Another area of Sword Aura had collapsed due to the tremors.
"Well…"
After pausing for a moment, Lu Ming said carefully, "It's also an accident?"
"Ha."
Lu Yan's lips curled into a smile.
This younger brother was getting more and more interesting.
…
Bang!
Bang!
The collapse of the fourth mountain continued.
The Sword Auras that filled the sky were rupturing.
Given Lu Ming's ability, it was impossible for him to destroy the Sword Aura. The Sword Aura barriers did not collapse but the fourth mountain itself was collapsing!
Buzz—
The Sword Auras were circulating.
A horrifying scene suddenly appeared.
These ruptured Sword Aura suddenly dissipated into surging beams of lights.
Their target—
was actually Lu Ming's Original Card!
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Beams of lights fervently charged into his Original Card.
That Lightning Original Card, which had already mutated due to the appearance of Brother Cat, suddenly began to accept the tempering by the Sword Aura and transform amidst the endless Sword Aura!
Buzz—
The Sword Aura surged continuously.
Buzz—
Lights flashed in the Original Card.
Lu Ming could clearly sense the Original Card in his hands becoming increasingly powerful and harder under the tempering…
Only heaven knew!
The fourth mountain.
Almost ninety percent of the Sword Aura had surged into Lu Ming's Original Card!
This was the valiant Sword Aura that could temper the Sword Embryo of five-star Swordsman. This was the Sword Aura that could make a six-star Elementalist elated. But now…
Everything had been absorbed by Lu Ming's Original Card!
Shus.h.!.+
Those surging Sword Aura formed a huge circle that surrounded the Original Card.
After a long time…
The Original Card then absorbed all of them!
The Original Card…
had completely transformed.
Lu Ming was speechless.
This Original Card…
Lu Ming paused for a moment.
He entered the Sea of Consciousness and took a glance at the black cat, which was sleeping.
Buzz—
He gingerly placed the Original Card besides the black cat.
The black cat, which was soundly asleep, seemed to have sensed a familiar aura. Out of habit, it hugged the Original Card and gnawed it.
Crack!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
A familiar thing rolled on the floor…
Lu Ming took a glance at it. It seemed to be the chipped tooth of the cat.
c.r.a.p!
Lu Ming shuddered. He immediately disappeared from the Sea of Consciousness without any delay. Before he left, he vaguely heard a furious roar from a cat.
Well…
Most likely, it didn't see me!
He was certain.
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
He really did not expect Brother Cat to be so weak during its recovery period…
Uh.
Or it could be said that…
The Original Card actually became that tough?!
After his body transformed to a three-star peak and his mental state became a compact disc, even his Original Card had changed? Wait. Why did he improve on all these ridiculous things?
He was merely a Card Creator!
Lu Ming glanced at his energy level. It was still at the two-star beginner level and did not increase much!
At this very moment…
The flashes of lights that flooded the sky disappeared.
The scene at the fourth mountain reverted to its calm state.
Sky and dust that earlier filled the sky vanished. The forest of Sword Aura was also gone. Only a lonely and enormous pit was left in the wilderness of the mountain.
It was caused by the rupturing of the Sword Aura.
Aside from this, there was nothing else.
Yes.
There was nothing else left in the entire fourth mountain!
…
Somewhere.
That white-haired and frail old man was in a daze.
Suddenly, he felt the ground shaking. Before he could come to his senses, boulders fell from above his head and hit him. He had been buried alive… It took him a long time to climb out.
He looked at the fourth mountain with a numb expression.
Oh.
Another a.s.sessment was gone…
True enough.
You, b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, can't even let an a.s.sessment go!
He knew it.
It seemed that…
It was difficult to pa.s.s down the legacy…
His expression was dazed.
At this rate, he estimated that the entire legacy would be gone after a few more batches of inheritors.
However…
Was the legacy site already so weak?
He remembered that the legacy site set up initially could withstand even seven-star attacks…
Sigh.
It was good to end it earlier as well.
When it ended…
He would be freed.
However, it was just sheer pity that the legacy…
…
What happened?!
Zhao Yunshan and the group was dumbstruck.
He had partic.i.p.ated in so many legacies and had not seen such a situation before. Everyone fought with one another for the legacy, but have you seen anyone demolis.h.i.+ng other people's legacy site?!
Never!
But now…
He had finally seen it.
However…
Although he did not know what happened, he saw the broken Sword Aura dissipating into beams of lights and drifting towards the starting point after the explosions. That position…
There was only the Lu Ming sibling pair!
"I'll go and take a look."
Everyone rushed back to the starting point.
Over there…
Lu Yan was sitting cross-legged, seemingly absorbing energy.
"Are you the one who did that?"
Zhao Yunshan sighed.
"Please excuse me."
Lu Yan's expression was calm.
Gao Tianlang and the group glanced at one another but they felt a little terrified.
A while ago.
Lu Yan actually took action?!
When they were exhausting their means to destroy the Sword Aura one-by-one, Lu Yan actually cleared the entire fourth mountain. How large was the gap in abilities between them?
The legacy…
Was the legacy really so valiant?!
Wasn't Lu Yan so valiant because that master of hers imparted it to her?
Right.
Everyone clenched both their fists.
Since Lu Yan was the one who took action, it was needless to talk anymore.
Legacy was obtained through various means. Lu Yan had already given up so much and it was rare that she found a useful a.s.sessment. Hence, it was natural that she would go all out for it.
It was just that…
The power…
was too amazing!
Even that six-star Elementalist felt fear in his heart.
"The legacy…"
Gao Tianlang and the rest bellowed in their heart.
Elder Lunar Shadow's a.s.sessments were already so magnificent. The legacy must be something even more powerful! They had to try their best to perform. That was enough!
However…
They did not notice that w.a.n.g Xuan had been staring at Lu Ming.
w.a.n.g Xuan was well aware that the scenario of the fourth mountain's collapse was exactly the same as the demolition of the old town. This was clearly Lu Ming's work!
Hehe.
He was indeed the target!
Lu Ming, one day, I will catch up with you!
At this very moment…
The stele on the destination had already displayed the results of the Sword Aura absorption.
Lu Ming/Lu Ming: Ninety percent.
Everyone was silent.
Yes.
The rest of their absorption only added up to ten percent!
Furthermore, this was also distributed to Niu Xinghai and the other a.s.sistants. In the end, everyone only received a pitiful one percent!
It was so tragic that one could not bear to look at it.
They had thought that they had improved a lot, what about Lu Yan?
They glanced at the sword in Lu Yan's hands and were filled with envy. It was tempered ten and hundred times more than theirs. How powerful was Lu Yan's weapon now?
n.o.body knew!
After a long time…
The Swordsmen then regained their composure.
Although it was a pity to forgo the nourishment of the Sword Embryo, other people had relied on their own capabilities. What else could they say? They could only grit their teeth and endure it!
Everyone had pent-up frustration in their heart!
The next a.s.sessment!
They had to fight back during the next a.s.sessment!
There were seven a.s.sessments and seven mountains. They still have three more chances!
Even if the Lu Yan sibling pair was not fighting for the legacy, they had to win at least once, right? Otherwise, this path of legacy was just too upsetting…
Hence…
They stepped onto the fifth mountain.
Bang!
The sky burst into red lights.
Everyone perked up as they looked at the scene in front of them.
Bang!
There was boiling hot lava and… endless heatwaves.
The firth mountain was actually a land of flames!
Although half of this land of flames was ground, that ancient and old gravel road looked scorching hot…
What was the a.s.sessment this time?
Everyone looked at each other.
"All of you are in good luck."
Niu Xinghai's lips curled into a smile. "This a.s.sessment tests which Swordsman is more resistant to being barbecued or which Swordsman is more seasoned."
Shus.h.!.+
The Swordsmen cast their glares at him.
Their murderous intents were obvious.
Niu Xinghai did not seem afraid at all. What a joke. Everyone was five-star. Who was afraid of them? Did you think that you are Lu Yan to give me that murderous look? Tsk tsk tsk…
However…
Then again, if it was a barbecue…
Gao Xiaoqing, who was still emitting the fragrance of herbs, would taste very good. She would become a wonder pill once she was out of the pot!
Gao Xiaoqing kept having a feeling that Niu Xinghai's gaze was very odd.
Oh, wrong. Even that Wu Hongfei had a strange look in his eyes when he looked at her…
Clang—
There was the sound of the sword.
There was a cold glint in Gao Tianlang's eyes. "I'll kill you if you continue to stare!"
"Hehe."
Niu Xinghai pursed his lips.
Who was he scaring?
Nevertheless, he would be in for a good show again. Of course, he dodged, gloating, "Haha, you can study the situation as much as you like. I will wait for all of you to be cooked…"
The Swordsmen felt exasperated.
You are the one who's going to be cooked!
Your whole family is going to be cooked!
"I'll do it,"
Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice.
Agitated by the Lu Yan sibling pair, he needed a victory now!
Hence…
He stepped into the field directly.
Bang!
The flames were raging.
The gravels below his feet became extremely hot.
However…
He could still endure that.
Just as he took a step, lightning came striking at him from the sky. Zhao Yunshan was already prepared. With a snort, he turned and ducked it!
However, that lightning hit the ground and penetrated the gravel road.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
Flames flooded the sky and inundated Zhao Yunshan!
Moments later.
Zhao Yunshan broke free from the flames, looking a little unkempt. A burning smell emanated from his body.
"Hey."
Niu Xinghai broke into laughter. "Top-notch Swordsman, the culinary skills of Lunar Shadow, medium rare…"
The Swordsmen felt exasperated.
