Qing Ming City.
In the ancient tomb.
Lu Ming and Jiang Feng looked at Zhou Yang who was suspended above the jade bed in the distance.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Lights and shadows circulated.
Zhou Yang's expression alternated between joy, sadness, and confusion…
Lu Ming and Jiang Feng were thankful they did not receive this legacy. It was too scary. Although they had no idea what the legacy was, given the pink energy…
It was already very scary!
“I have been cultivating for years. This is the first time I saw pink energy.”
Jiang Feng sighed.
He did not spend his life in vain…
“Haha.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
Other than Jiang Feng, he, who had lived for two lifetimes, had not seen pink energy as well…
Young girls' series?
Dancing Baby?
Buzz—
Buzz—
Looking at how Zhou Yang was being tempered, Lu Ming had a bad feeling, particularly when he saw that Zhou Yang's skin became fairer and softer…
Tsk tsk tsk…
It had started to whiten…
“Bed spirit, come over here. Give me the promised energy!”
Lu Ming kicked the bed.
Whoos.h.!.+
The bed spirit was furious. “I am still in the process of the legacy. Don't be disruptive!”
“What does that have to do with you?”
Lu Ming sneered. “Do you think I don't know what a legacy is? During the legacy, it is Zhou Yang who receives the legacy. What does it have to do with you?”
The bed spirit was speechless.
He knew about this?
“Hurry!”
Lu Ming waved his hands. “The tempering of the Original Card and four-star energy.”
“Alright.”
The bed spirit had no choice but to help him with tempering.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Energy tempering.
There was another glow of radiance on the Original Card.
After a long time…
The tempering was completed.
“Just once?”
Lu Ming was somewhat displeased. “It was tempered thrice last time.”
“How dare you say that?”
The bed spirit exploded in anger.
d.a.m.n!
It had already been tricked of its energy thrice last time, yet it wanted to trick him again this time?!
“Okay, okay.”
Lu Ming was helpless. “I will take it that you have completed the tempering. Also, you said that the energy will transform into four-star. This is the only step left…”
“Humph!”
The bed spirit swept its angry gaze over Lu Ming before it helped him to temper.
It had decided to be done with what he promised Lu Ming so that he could leave as soon as possible, and would not be an annoyance. It was upsetting to look at him. He was a mediocre cultivator…
However…
It only lasted for a moment.
The tempering stopped suddenly and its expression changed.
“What's the matter?”
Lu Ming cast him an odd glance.
“T-there isn't enough energy.”
The bed spirit was horrified.
Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. Why did it tell him at this time that it ran out of energy?
“Yes.”
The bed spirit felt aggrieved.
It awakened now as it had finally acc.u.mulated enough energy. It estimated that no matter what it would have sufficient energy, however…
He had helped Lu Ming to temper his Original Card four times!
It was an enormous depletion of energy!
It also activated the Soul Legacy. Right now it ran out of energy when it was tempering energy…
This…
It was unexpected.
“So… Are you intending to go back on your word?”
Lu Ming looked at Zhou Yang in the distance. He was thinking if he should kill him…
“Don't.”
The bed spirit panicked.
Zhou Yang must not be interrupted right now. It was true that it had promised Lu Ming to temper energy and to break through to a four-star. Therefore…
“I'll tell you what.”
The bed spirit gritted its teeth. “I will give you some energy from the legacy.”
Lu Ming looked at the pink energy. He dared not agree to it.
It was pink in color!
It belonged to a young girls' series!
G.o.d knew what he would turn out after absorbing the energy…
“Don't worry. It's not like that.”
The bed spirit knew that Lu Ming was prejudiced against the energy. “This energy is very precious. I won't give it to you even if you ask for it! I am only using the energy to help you in your tempering!”
Lu Ming was skeptical.
After tempering with this kind of energy, would his energy be abnormal?
“If you are still worried…”
The bed spirit thought about it. “I will continue to temper your Original Card! I can use the pink energy to temper the Original Card and increase its strength!”
The Original Card…
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
It seemed much better to temper the Original Card.
After all…
Compared to his energy turning pink if the Original Card turned pink…
Hehe.
The spirit body of the young girls' series?
Well…
It seemed acceptable.
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
The Original Card glowed rampantly.
Xiao-Xiaojian protested strongly.
It was a pity…
n.o.body gave a d.a.m.n about it.
“Sure!”
Lu Ming agreed.
“Wait a while.”
The bed spirit looked warily at him.
Lu Ming was worried that he would be infected by the pink energy, while it was worried that its pink energy would be leaked to outsiders! After all, this was Zhou Yang's exclusive legacy energy!
Tempering the Original Card…
It had tempered the card four times and was experienced.
It was just that…
“I have the final say over the progress.”
It did not trust Lu Ming now.
Hence…
It sensed the tempering progress and strength of Lu Ming's Original Card, pondering for a moment before saying, “Thirty percent! Your Original Card is very powerful now. I will strengthen another thirty percent for you!”
Thirty percent was about the amount of energy that would be depleted when tempering the energy.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming agreed right away.
Buzz—
The bed spirit waved its hands.
There was a pink energy pond that was extended from Zhou Yang. The card only needed to be soaked in the pond and it would be tempered. It was incredible.
Since it extracted the energy from Zhou Yang's full legacy to temper the energy…
Therefore…
It had no control over it.
It thought for a while and added a limit to it. “Once your vocation core reaches the index that I set, the energy will automatically disappear!”
In that case, it wouldn't be fooled anymore.
“Up to you.”
Lu Ming was very calm.
Was he the kind of person who would resort to schemes?
What happened last time was due to the Original Card. It was the Original Card who created trouble.
What had he got to do with it?
This time…
He only wanted to break through. He was up to no tricks.
Even if there was a problem with breaking through and he could not increase his energy level, he did not intend to play tricks but to temper his Original Card. He was the few cultivators that were very easygoing!
Buzz—
Pink energy surged.
Lu Ming went over and placed the Original Card inside.
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
The Original Card glowed rampantly.
“Look, the little guy is excited at the mention of tempering.”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
Swoos.h.!.+
The Original Card was soaked in pink energy.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Faint lights shone.
The bed spirit stared at it by the side, waiting for the energy to be interrupted. However, it had been a long time and there was no response from the Original Card.
“What is happening?”
The bed spirit was alarmed. What was this guy up to?
“Let me see.”
Lu Ming sensed the Original Card and was speechless…
Shus.h.!.+
He took out the Original Card. The three of them took a look and were speechless. The Original Card's energy level had only been increased by less than twenty percent. It looked very pa.s.sive…
It was full of resistance.
“It seems that he does not like your pink energy.”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
“Do you still want to temper the card or not?”
The bed spirit was expressionless…
I dislike tough and rough-looking men like you!
“Yes!”
Lu Ming placed the Original Card inside again.
It was too pa.s.sive. Its tempering speed was very slow.
After a long time…
Lu Ming went to check, it was only at twenty-nine percent. It was too slow. He had no choice but to wait. Right then, Lu Ming had an idea…
Oh.
Energy tempering, the limit of thirty percent…
He waited until the Original Card was almost at thirty percent before he put it away, and took another vocation core from the Sea of Consciousness and placed it inside.
Buzz—
The vocation core began to absorb the energy madly, tempering rampantly!
Eh?
This would do as well?
Lu Ming was surprised.
Therefore, if he put other vocation cores inside…
Shus.h.!.+
Shus.h.!.+
Lu Ming threw all the vocation cores in the Sea of Consciousness into the pink energy spring. Not only did they not dissipate, they kept getting stronger…
In Lu Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
The black cat woke up in a daze. It saw the pile of pink vocation cores in front of him and was dumbfounded. Was Lu Ming a fan of young girls' series?
These cores…
Pink sword, pink dagger, pink heart…
Forget it.
As long as he did not set his designs on him…
He caught a sword spirit as a subst.i.tute and the effect was indeed good…
Oh.
The black cat nestled into a ball and fell asleep again.
At this very moment…
The subst.i.tute was furious.
Originally, its card body was handsome. However, the upper part had turned pink!!! It looked the same as Xiao-Xiaobai when it dyed its hair!!!
It looked very much like pink bangs!
c.r.a.p!
Who the h.e.l.l wanted to dye their bangs pink?!
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
The Original Card glowed rampantly.
It knew that the pink energy would not be a good thing! Although it had been filtered and did not have other effects on him, but…
It was too ugly!
“Quiet!”
Lu Ming held it down.
This should be the side effect from the large influx of energy tempering, and hence the odd color. It would fade with time…
It should fade, right?
Buzz—
Buzz—
The concentration of pink energy around Zhou Yang dropped drastically. The energy pool that was being extended by force was stopped and was retracted into the legacy!
The bed spirit was alarmed. “What did you do?!”
“I don't know.”
Lu Ming looked confused as well. He just took some energy…
c.r.a.p!
Why was the legacy being so stingy?!
Bang!
Bang!
The ancient tomb shook.
The pink energy suddenly exploded.
And right then.
Somewhere.
Several figures were struggling to dig downward. They dug an underground pa.s.sage from five streets next to the college at the crossroad.
Dust filled the air.
“Are you sure there's something in here?”
“That's for sure!”
A billowing figure was certain. “There is definitely something going on here. I used to see… forget it. Let's dig further down…”
Clang!
Clang!
The few of them dug deeper.
Suddenly there was a tremor and a huge pit appeared. There were s.h.i.+mmering lights within it.
“There's something down there!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
The few people went down with excitement.
However…
Just at that instant!
Bang!
Pink brilliance burst, engulfing everyone.
Qing Ming City.
Countless people woke up in the middle of the night.
“Something has happened!”
“It was over there at the college at the crossroads!”
“Hurry!”
“Could it be the birth of a spirit body again?”
Everyone was excited.
Over there…
The whole school was again swarmed with people.
Buzz—
Buzz—
A layer of strange pink lights shone. It looked like a huge whirlpool, as it rampantly absorbed the energy nearby, forming a strange barrier.
“What's going on here?”
“I don't know.”
“Is it the spirit body again?”
Everyone focused their gaze.
Why was it always this college?!
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Many auras appeared.
The four-star and five-star cultivators came rus.h.i.+ng over once again.
Right then…
Many cultivators stepped into the college.
At this very moment…
Lu Ming and Jiang Feng made their hurried escape from the tomb.
Bang!
Bang!
The ancient tomb collapsed.
Pink energy rose into the sky!
They looked around, finally understanding what had happened.
“The legacy has landed!”
Jiang Feng looked grave.
Due to the extreme lack of energy, the legacy failed and it could only land in reality. It integrated the real facilities by force, and through this method, a.s.sisted Zhou Yang to complete the legacy…
Therefore…
Pink radiance dissipated, changing everything around it.
Shus.h.!.+
The school building turned pink.
The office building turned pink.
The dormitory building turned pink.
The pink glow continued to dissipate.
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming suddenly remembered something serious. “Those students…”
“I told them to go back,” Jiang Feng said in a deep voice. “Since we have to bring Zhou Yang over, I was worried that there would be a fight and there would be innocent casualties. Hence I have temporarily closed the school.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming felt relieved.
Fortunately…
Otherwise…
The vocational technical college at the crossroad might become the women's college at the crossroad…
However…
Come to think of it…
What was the d.a.m.n legacy trying to do?
Bang!
Bang!
Many pink chains appeared.
The chains locked the buildings and banned many areas in the school. The huge school was being divided into several legacy areas.
It was strange and mysterious.
The college at the crossroad had turned into a legacy site!
“Something is odd with this legacy.”
Jiang Feng looked grave, as he looked at the pink school. “This doesn't seem to be constructed temporarily. It seemed as if it had been prepared beforehand…
The college at the crossroads…
It seems to be part of what was left for the inheritor!
Think about it.
What would happen to the students and teachers over here if the legacy is completed unnoticed and the whole school becomes a legacy site…
It might become the nourishment to the inheritor!
However…
For some unknown reason, there is a change in plan… As the energy is seriously lacking, it had to land beforehand… and this is what we see now…”
Jiang Feng was experienced and he could tell at one glance that it was a conspiracy.
“However… Why would there be a sudden lack of energy?”
He thought hard about it and looked toward Lu Ming. “What happened to the energy just now…”
“It's not me! I didn't do it! Don't spout nonsense!”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
What a joke!
He merely led an idle life. He could not care less. It had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Feng was silent…
Fine.
He had confirmed his doubts.
It seemed that it was due to this guy again. He could not be bothered with Lu Ming now.
“Phantom… The master of the legacy must have ill intentions! And the lights…”
Jiang Feng pointed toward the entrance of the tomb.
Over there…
A pink light beam shot into the clouds!
Bang!
Bang!
A dazzling brilliance shook the entire Qing Ming City. People flocked to the college at the crossroad, entranced by the sea of pink.
Phantom…
What exactly was it up to?!
“Zhou Yang… My child… wake up!
I have given you all that I can… you will have to depend on yourself for the rest that follows…
The master used to be the most outstanding person in those days…
That era.
It is the era that belongs to the master alone!
He took this vocation and brought it to its peak, letting the entire world know about the Phantom…
It's a pity.
It wasn't pa.s.sed on.
Right now, the legacy has been fused with you, I hope that you can recreate the glory back then, and bring this vocation to a great height of development, becoming a legend…
The ever-present Phantom.
This…
This is your time!
This place…
I created this battlefield for you!
Reap them…
Devour them…
Create your own legend!”
Right then…
The figure that was suspended in the air opened his eyes.
Buzz—
The eyes sparkled.
The murderous intentions were obvious.
I am Zhou Yang… I am back!
Bang!
He leaped, his imposing figure landed on the ground, sending shocking sounds. He was armed with a long spear, his pace steady, like the G.o.d of Slaughter on the ancient battlefield.
“Come on!”
He was all ready to battle.
Shus.h.!.+
He took one step forward and he paused suddenly. This wonderful feeling…
It seemed…
To be lacking in something?
