That Swordsman felt confused immediately.

Mental strength?

He had never seen mental strength in such a shape!

A diffused mental state would become more powerful after compression. Therefore, almost all the Swordsmen worked hard to collect their diffused thoughts!

However…

This mental strength…

Cras.h.!.+

It was only one collision and he could already feel how terrifying this disc-shaped mental state was!

Although this mental state was round and big and looked like a pancake from the front, it was extremely thin when viewed from the side!

It had already been compressed to the limit!!!

Shus.h.!.+

Cold lights flashed.

In the empty world of mental strength.

He could feel his metal strength, already condensed to an extremely solid state, being severed by that compact disc easily…

Pfft!

His thoughts diffused!

The Swordsman vomited blood on the spot.

"You…"

He looked up and glanced over in disbelief. The owner of the mental strength was actually a four-star cultivator!

Four-star?!

He felt even more dumbstruck.

As a powerful figure amongst peak six-stars and one of the most powerful disciples of the Swordsman a.s.sociation, he could beat a few ordinary peak six-stars to a pulp!

However…

This time…

He was tortured by a four-star?!

What kind of magical fantasy plot is this?

He took a closer look at that four-star cultivator. He was very young, looked like a teenager and did not look like those elderly seniors. He could tell that this was a teenage student with one glance!

He had shocking good looks.

However, having good looks was not enough!

Therefore…

What exactly had happened?!

He could not regain his senses for a long time.

At this very moment…

Everyone was also silent.

Even the teachers preparing to intervene were taken back. On the other hand, initially expecting a good show, the big shots from the a.s.sociations were now gaping in shock. Their mouths were so wide that it was not a problem to shove a barbecued sausage into them!

To h.e.l.l with it!

What happened?

If they did not see it wrong…

Well…

That peak six-star Swordsman wanted to stand up for his junior brother. Therefore, he made a move to subdue Zhao Yunshan. However, the teenager retaliated that easily?!

Yes.

Easily!

When his mental strength was about to land, the other party then gently made a move. Afterward…

Shus.h.!.+

He merely struck once.

They then saw the towering mental strength collapsing instantly and that Swordsman vomiting blood.

That teenager…

Everyone could not help but glance at the teenager sitting at the booth of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation. Could he also be another old freak with everlasting youth?

Right then…

Almost everyone was looking at that teenager. Astonishment, wonder, disbelief, as well as admiration purely because of the good looks.

"Who are you?" the Swordsman could not help but ask.

He could fail but he needed to know who his opponent was!

"Lu Ming," Lu Ming said calmly.

He had not been active in Tian Du City for long. Therefore, it was normal that many people did not know him.

"Lu Ming…"

The Swordsman pondered over this name.

Suddenly…

A bolt of lightning struck across his mind. He suddenly thought of a terrible thing of the past. That fight which impacted him like a nightmare was still fresh in his memory…

Hence…

The Swordsman looked up suddenly. "Do you know someone called Lu Yan?"

"She's my sister," Lu Ming replied truthfully.

Shus.h.!.+

The expression of the Swordsman instantly froze.

Oh.

It turned out to be Lu Yan's brother. That was not strange then. Given Lu Yan's demon talent, it was not surprising that her brother was also that powerful, right?

Well…

There was only one problem left. Was there something wrong with the brains of this sister-brother pair?!

c.r.a.p!

The Swordsman's face was black.

"Do you know my sister?"

Lu Ming was doubtful.

"Your sister beat me in a fight last month…"

The Swordsman looked expressionless.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Lu Ming was shocked.

"It's not a coincidence."

The Swordsman swept his cold and aloof gaze across the various disciples of the major a.s.sociations.

Shus.h.!.+

Everyone looked down simultaneously.

Why?

This was because almost all the six-stars present had been beaten by Lu Yan before…

Right then…

Everyone then remembered Lu Ming's ident.i.ty.

He was Lu Yan's younger brother. He occasionally came to The First Academy to fool around in the past. In just a few days, he stirred up a storm here and almost collapsed the entire Card Creators a.s.sociation!

So, it was him…

Everyone, especially those who had fought with Lu Yan before, looked at Lu Ming with a perplexed expression.

Oh.

It turned out that Lu Yan's brother had also reached this stage?!

It was really…

"Are four-stars that powerful?"

Someone didn't dare believe it.

That person was a peak six-star!

And he was a powerful one among the peak six-stars!

This kind of person was defeated by Lu Ming in seconds, it was really…

"Perhaps he favors a particular subject."

Someone sighed. "Since it's Lu Yan's brother, his talent should not be too poor. Yet, he is only a four-star. Have you thought of the reason? It's highly possible that Lu Ming likes to cultivate mental strength. Therefore, he continues to train and strengthen himself in this area, cultivating his mental strength to the maximum. It is just that his level is lower."

"It makes sense."

Everyone finally knew what was going on.

Well…

This was the att.i.tude and mindset of a powerful figure. This sister-brother pair was not easy to deal with…

After a long time…

The school sent someone over.

The security chief of the school came and took away that Swordsman senior who made a move.

"The few of you.

"I couldn't help it because I saw my junior brother getting injured," the Swordsman explained.

Since he took action, he had long thought of the excuse.

"Yes, I know."

The security chief expressed his understanding. "I can't help but take you away because I saw you making a move… Everyone can't help it. Please understand."

That Swordsman was speechless.

Are security chiefs nowadays that mischievous?

Hence…

At this point of the on-campus job fair, none of the students had chosen their a.s.sociation and a disciple of the Swordsman a.s.sociation had been driven out. The people from the various a.s.sociations had a strange expression.

It was true.

This was especially when they looked at Lu Ming…

d.a.m.n!

h.e.l.l… What demons are this sister-brother pair? Can't they change their targets?!

…

After a long time…

Everyone calmed down and glanced toward the center of the field.

Ye Liangfei was still around.

The challenge between the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation and the Swordsman a.s.sociation had already ended.

The Swordsman was defeated thoroughly!

Since that was the case, which a.s.sociation would Ye Liangfei choose?

Ye Liangfei's eyes scanned the field.

He knew that he did not have the graduation certificate and was also eliminated during the a.s.sessment. This would be a blemish in his life forever, unless he could reach seven-star to prove himself…

Otherwise…

If he were in the conventional a.s.sociations, he would be deemed inferior forever!

The older generations favored things like diplomas the most!

However…

He glanced at the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation again.

Zhao Yunshan was very powerful and he was very tempted. However, this was an a.s.sociation of Lu Yan's younger brother! If he were to join this a.s.sociation, he not only had to be trampled by Lu Yan but also Lu Ming…

It was hard to explain in a few words.

Ye Liangfei was having a dilemma.

Swordsman…

Sword Card Master…

Very soon…

He made his decision.

Ye Liangfei said seriously, "I choose the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!"

He had sorted out his thoughts. If he did not have true talent, his dignity would be a joke!

What was their goal? Seven-star!

This group of graduates was too strong and almost everyone was a six-star. They would reach peak six-star in one to two years' time. Afterward, they would be in that endless bottleneck situation!

There was a deep ravine between peak six-star and seven-star!

At that stage, their abilities would still improve continuously!

For example, the peak six-star Zhang Feitian and the other Swordsmen, they were far more powerful than him!

How difficult was it to break through to seven-star?

It was very difficult.

The chances of it happening was the same as having twins who were each fathered by different people.

Therefore… He had to choose the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!

Zhao Yunshan could defeat Zhang Feitian instantly despite being a five-star. What about a peak six-star like himself? Would he be a step closer to the legendary seven-star then?!

At this very moment…

With Ye Liangfei's decision, the first quota had been confirmed!

Goal: Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!

Wow—

There was an uproar in the entire place!

"He actually chose the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!"

"Although the Swordsman a.s.sociation has been defeated, they have a foundation. Ye Liangfei is blind."

"Is he getting a kick out of being subdued by Lu Yan?"

"Exactly. Where is the promised retaliation?"

Everyone mocked.

"No, I should say that this child has sorted out his thoughts."

"I think this is quite good too."

Some teachers felt gratified.

This went to show that Ye Liangfei was finally relieved of the burden weighing over his heart.

"Are you sure?"

The Swordsman a.s.sociation did not look good.

They did not expect Ye Liangfei to give up on them!

Only Heaven knew.

When they saw Ye Liangfei earlier on, they were considering whether Ye Liangfei was qualified to join the Swordsman a.s.sociation as he did not have a graduation certificate…

The outcome.

It was mocking.

Ye Liangfei had rejected them instead!

"I am certain."

Ye Liangfei had a resolute expression.

"He is Lu Yan's younger brother," someone reminded him.

"I know."

Ye Liangfei looked calm.

He had already figured it out.

Would he be able to beat Lu Yan?

No!

Would he be able to beat Lu Ming?

Impossible!

These two had defeated that peak six-star senior brother who had been at the Swordsman a.s.sociation for three years! Since that was the case, why would he continue to wallow in self pity?!

…

"Welcome."

Lu Ming and the group received Ye Liangfei warmly.

Well…

Although this child had average ability and his looks could not be compared to them, he had excellent talent. It was enough to qualify as a second generation disciple.

"Congratulations."

Lu Ming patted his shoulder. "Henceforth, you are the second generation disciple of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!"

"Thank you, president!"

Ye Liangfei felt very emotional.

Second generation disciple…

It sounded extremely legitimate!

After all, he would be a couple hundredth generation disciple if he were to join other a.s.sociations.

"Come, sit down," Lu Ming offered Ye Liangfei a seat.

"Yes."

Ye Liangfei was slightly emotional.

He looked at Li Ergou who was beside him. "Buddy, which generation of disciples are you?"

"First."

Li Ergou peered at him.

"Oh."

Yan Suqi was somewhat disappointed. He then looked at Yan Suqi, who looked even younger. "Young buddy, which generation are you from?"

"First."

A genuine smile emerged on Yan Suqi's face.

Ye Liangfei felt slightly puzzled. d.a.m.n it. This child was also a first generation disciple?!

Hence…

Harboring his last ray of hope, he glanced at that girl who looked the youngest. "h.e.l.lo, young lady, may I know which generation you belong to?"

"First," Xiaobai said sweetly.

Ye Liangfei was in disbelief. "You're also from the first generation?

"Spat!"

Li Ergou glared at him. "You're not allowed to be rude to Senior Sister!"

Ye Liangfei froze on the spot.

S-senior Sister?!

…

At this very moment…

There was a happy atmosphere in the field.

There was no choice.

They did not expect Ye Liangfei to kick off such a start!

Very soon…

The second student appeared.

This time, he chose the legendary mighty Hammer a.s.sociation. Everyone instinctively looked at the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation and noticed the dead silence from that side.

Eh?

They did not compete for the student?

The nature of vocation of the Hammerer and Swordsman was not that different…

It was not hard to do a vocation switch.

Since that was the case…

Why didn't the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation want this student?!

"It seems that they still have a sense of propriety."

Some elders smiled. "They know what they should and should not do."

Not bad.

This a.s.sociation was sensible.

First, they proved their capability domineeringly. Afterward, when people thought that it was overbearing and here to stir up trouble, they quietly gave way.

"Humph!

"It's good that they know what they are doing."

"It seems that they are not stupid. They didn't make themselves the public enemy."

Some a.s.sociations sneered.

The audience was discussing quietly.

Some people were disappointed.

Some people approved of their action.

However…

Student Ye Liangfei, who was sitting at the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation booth, had a strange expression and stiff posture. This was because he was the only one who knew why the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation did not take action!

Li Haoran, "What do you think of this person?"

Xiaobai, "He's too ugly."

Zhao Yunshan, "Although he's quite talented, he's not that outstanding."

Yan Suqi, "He looks very fierce. I don't think it's easy to get along with him."

Li Ergou, "I made some predictions. He lacks a water element in his life and his skin condition is definitely bad. He's not suitable for us."

"Oh."

Lu Ming concluded, "He's out then."

Xiaobai, "Okay."

Li Haoran, "Senior Sister + 1 [1. +1 is Chinese internet slang which stands for agreement]."

Zhao Yunshan, "Senior Sister +1."

Yan Suqi, "Senior Sister +1."

Li Ergou, "Senior Sister +1."

…

Ye Liangfei felt somewhat dazed.

Oh.

Is this what the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation normally does?

And…

He took a closer look at those guys. Although they were not considered very good looking, they were not ugly either. Why was it that their looks had become an issue?!

Of course.

It was pointless to compare everyone with Lu Ming…

Furthermore, there was their talent!

How could graduates of The First Academy be lacking in talent?

It turned out that the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation was that strict in their requirements! So as to speak, since he had been chosen, he had surpa.s.sed those people?

Unknowingly…

Ye Liangfei felt more at ease. Perhaps he had made the right decision?

…

At this very moment…

The on-campus job fair was still ongoing.

To be honest…

If no one had messed around, the selection of a.s.sociations would normally have been a very quick process. There was no need for everyone to enter the place one by one. They would enter in groups and then look for the respective a.s.sociations of their choice. Afterward, like a typical on-campus job fair, they would be recruited after a brief a.s.sessment!

However…

The situation had become very different because of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Very soon…

The third student came in.

Everyone glanced at him and was instantly overjoyed. This student's target was a unique vocation — Summoner!

It was a vocation that no one would compete for!

Why?

This was because Summoners were very special…

Most people chose Summoners because of their belief. They liked the feeling of nurturing or rearing something successfully…

Although…

They could only nurture one thing.

The unique point about a Summoner was that it could nurture one thing for life and summon N number of things at any point in time. Its combat specialty was to beat one with many and turn a duel into a group attack…

Well…

There was nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, no one competed with them.

Although the student was quite talented.

Hence…

As that student walked to the Summoner a.s.sociation, everyone's gaze turned toward the student behind him. Just at this moment…

They heard a familiar noise.

Everyone instinctively looked over and was speechless to discover that a certain president of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation was underlining the words 'strongest in the cohort' quietly again.

The Summoner a.s.sociation flew into a rage on the spot.

What does this mean?!

d.a.m.n!

He didn't wipe it when it was the Hammerer a.s.sociation earlier. Why did he wipe when it came to our Summoner a.s.sociation?!

Are we that easy to bully?

…
