The First Academy.

The disciples of other a.s.sociations had a serious expression on their faces. The big shots who could not care less but were merely there to support the event looked toward the field waiting for the upcoming fight.

Lu Ming: The founder of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Realm: Four-star.

Mental strength: Six-star.

Strength: Trickery.

This was what the a.s.sociations had just seen. However, what were Lu Ming's real combat capabilities?

No one knew!

Therefore…

They wanted to find out the real capabilities of Lu Ming as well!

On the other side… was a lady in her early twenties. She was very young and very powerful. In the Elementalists a.s.sociation, she was the chief disciple of her generation. She was a peak six-star in the true sense!

According to rumors…

She had defeated countless peak six-star veterans before she announced her retreat to break through to seven-star!

However…

For some unknown reason, she had suddenly woken up.

"There is a slight seven-star aura on her."

"It is a pity she has yet to break through."

"If she breaks through in one go, she will reach a seven-star within a few months. Why did she come out of her retreat?"

"I don't know."

Many of the disciples were speculating and they had mixed emotions.

This was because…

They had been beaten by the lady as well.

Before Lu Yan challenged them, this lady challenged all the peak six-star disciples in order to gain momentum to break through to a seven-star!

She achieved the achievement of slas.h.i.+ng one hundred people!

She won every battle!

After which, she went into a retreat to break through!

It was a pity…

"I knew that she couldn't break through."

"That's right. It is not that easy to reach seven-star."

Some people were gloating.

However…

A disciple of an a.s.sociation suddenly asked. "Have you ever thought about how since she failed this time she will challenge all of you again when she tries to break through next time?"

Shus.h.!.+

Everyone became pale.

The disciple who was gloating turned stark white as well.

d.a.m.n!

He had forgotten about this…

Why couldn't the lady break through in one go?!

"Perhaps there are some other reasons. She doesn't seem like she is lacking talents."

"Heaven knows. Breaking through to a seven-star is like attaining stellar success. There might be another reason!"

"Perhaps…

"She had her period?"

One disciple made a wild guess.

Shus.h.!.+

Everyone swept their gazes across him, including the young lady who had just entered the field. She gave him a meaningful glance.

Hence…

Everyone mourned for the disciple.

The disciple was speechless.

He could not wait to slap himself.

…

At this very moment…

In the field.

Lu Ming squinted, watching as the 'young lady' entered the field.

Of course.

Since Lu Ming was quite old given that he transmigrated from a previous life, the lady seemed young to him. In fact, the lady had a good figure.

"h.e.l.lo."

Lu Ming greeted her.

Since she was a lady, he should behave like a gentleman. However, he was surprised to find that the lady looked at him with interest.

After a long time…

The lady said, "Do you have any idea how long I have been wanting to give you a bas.h.i.+ng?"

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

He took a closer look at the lady. He had no memory of her. Could it be that… Lu Ming suddenly understood and his expression turned awkward.

"Well…

"Miss."

Lu Ming asked cautiously, "Were you ever trampled by bulls?"

The lady stared at Lu Ming as if the latter was an idiot.

"No?"

Lu Ming was very surprised.

In that case why did she bare her fangs upon seeing him?! Miss Xiaoqing had been trampled several times, but she was not as angry as her!

"Perhaps I should introduce myself."

The lady looked at Lu Ming with nonchalance. "I am Yan Suya. My friends call me Xiaoya."

"Salted Crispy Duck[1] …"

Lu Ming gasped a breath of cold air. "You are Salted Crispy Chicken's elder sister!"

He suddenly remembered her!

This was written on Salted Crispy Chicken's information sheet!

She was the elder sister who had helped him get a thunder spirit!

d.a.m.n!

Why was the big devil here?!

He instinctively turned around, wanting to get Salted Crispy Chicken to come out. He was surprised to find that the Second Martial Uncle who sounded very serious in front of Ye Liangfei and the second generation disciples… was under the table right then.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Was this a joke?!

Shouldn't he do something about his elder sister?

Opposite him, Yan Suya was expressionless.

She did not understand when Lu Ming called her Salted Crispy Duck. But she realized what he meant when he called her brother Salted Crispy Chicken…

Click!

Somewhere inside of her seemed to have exploded.

Her parents had the surname of Yan and Su and they insisted on combining their surnames. The decision made by her idiotic parents was the reason why this happened today…

However…

There was no other option.

She could not beat her parents, hence she would only unleash her anger on Lu Ming.

The timing was just right.

She could settle all the scores today.

Ever since she came out of her retreat forcibly due to what happened to her brother, she had been stifling her anger. Well, today she finally had the chance…

Bang!

A surging aura suddenly exploded!

Yan Suya's aura that had almost reached seven-star exploded.

This aura…

Lu Ming's expression changed drastically.

d.a.m.n it!

He knew things were amiss when he realized that the lady was Salted Crispy Chicken's elder sister! d.a.m.n it! This was merely an on-campus job fair. Why would the Elementalists a.s.sociation send her there!?

People at her level should be retreating, working on breaking through!

Oh…

It seemed that she was there specially for Salted Crispy Chicken.

→_→

Lu Ming's expression was somewhat ugly.

Heaven knew that he would meet her…

His original plan was to showcase his powerful and impressive core abilities of a Sword Card Master in this battle, so as to attract more disciples, but then…

Oh man!

…

Right then.

A distance away.

Some disciples from other a.s.sociations exclaimed, "Do you think Lu Ming will win or not?"

"What do you think?"

Everyone sighed.

The answer was obvious!

It was impossible to win!

The lady was from a cla.s.s way older than Lu Yan!

She was simply a devil!

Therefore, was it possible for Lu Ming to win?

Well…

That was a good question.

"If he wins, I will do a handstand while eating poo!"

A disciple who was once beaten by this lady sneered.

Everyone was silent.

Although they wanted to rebut him for bluffing again, it was clear that what he said might be the truth.

Because—

He was in a different league!

…

Bang!

Bang!

Yan Suya's aura kept condensing. She had yet to strike but she had shocked everyone!

At that very moment…

The disciples of the a.s.sociations looked at Lu Ming, gloating. Served him right for being arrogant! Look, he was about to be beaten! Hahaha!

"Miss!

"Let's talk things over nicely!"

Lu Ming wiped his perspiration.

"I like to fight it out before talking."

Yan Suya smiled slightly.

Lu Ming turned green.

This fight was really not within his means!

In order to do better for the on-campus job fair, Lu Ming had done research on peak six-star, reading up on relevant information.

Currently…

The peak six-star level was divided into three stages.

The first stage was the experienced novices who had just reached peak six-star.

After many years (or for some a few years) of hard work, these people finally reached peak six-star status. Theoretically, they finally had control of their destiny.

At such a stage…

They were the leaders in various medium and small-sized cities.

They were the leading disciples in all the a.s.sociations.

They would be the core members of any organization.

They might feel that they were only a few steps away from becoming a seven-star. However, one day when they walked about proudly on the street, suddenly they would be beaten up violently by Lu Yan…

Yes, beaten up violently.

They would not even have a chance to fight back. Afterward, they would move on to the second stage.

…

The second stage was an experienced peak six-star.

They would begin to contemplate why they failed previously.

Finally, they would focus on their abilities—They would begin to understand the different levels of their abilities at different stages, as well as how they increased and they would have better overall comprehension.

Basic abilities, advanced abilities, surmounting abilities…

In the past, they had wasted too much time and wasted their cultivation. They felt that they were talented and since they advanced through the levels, there was no need to work on their abilities. But now, they would finally begin to work hard on their cultivation.

They would master the abilities step by step.

They would master more powerful abilities.

Their combat capabilities would increase as they gained a better understanding of their vocations. Finally, they would no longer be experienced novices. They would become peak six-star in the true sense!

Their abilities would finally catch up with their realm and energy level!

At that point, they no longer had any flaws.

Afterward…

One day, when guiding their disciples home they would be violently beaten up by the provocative Salted Crispy Duck.

Yes, another round of violent beatings!

They still would not have the power to retaliate.

At that point in time… they would begin to contemplate the second question: Why did they lose again?

At that point, they finally reached the third stage which was to go beyond their limits!

Yes.

They thought that they were the best since their realms and abilities met the standards.

But that was not the case.

That was just the basics!

These people would strive to go beyond the limits!

They would have a deeper understanding of the vocations and themselves through having stronger abilities and more legendary experiences. They would then work toward reaching seven-star!

Yes.

The only goal of these people was to become a seven-star!!!

They sought to go beyond their limits!

They were extraordinary peak six-stars!

They might have experienced many life and death situations and were working on mastering certain surmounting abilities, and their combat capabilities were far superior to average people!

This was the third stage where they went beyond the limits.

After this stage, they would become seven-stars!

Of course, if the concept of different stages of peak six-star was too difficult to grasp, Lu Ming had come up with a simpler version.

The first stage was to equip oneself with green and blue devices, working hard to reach the highest 69th level.

The second stage was to enter instance dungeons to gain rewards and change equipment.

In the third stage, after obtaining all the rewards and equipment, one needed to pay money to strengthen the precious stones. One would go beyond the limitations of the version to reach 70th level by force!

It was that simple!

This was not something that could be easily achieved!

And unfortunately…

Miss Salted Crispy Duck was at this stage!

The lady was an ultimate limit peak six-star in the truest sense!

How could he fight against her?!

He reckoned she would only need to use a single move to kill him!

Bang!

The glow of light radiated in Yan Suya's hands.

The aura of an ultimate limit six-star had fully condensed. She raised her hand and a five-meter tall huge fiery wolf lunged at Lu Ming, a terrifying heat wave enveloping the entire field!

Bang!

Bang!

The fiery wolf attacked.

It charged at lightning speed. With every step it took, its fiery flames left deep pits on the ground. They were hot red and burning.

The students were shocked.

d.a.m.n it. Was this the six-star fire element fiery wolf?!

In the traditional sense, to an Elementalist, this ability was like an appetizer. This was because one could quickly cast this ability and it was released instantly. Under normal circ.u.mstances, this ability would take precedence over other abilities. The Elementalist would use this ability to stall the enemy, buying more than one second for them to use more powerful abilities!

However…

Everyone looked at the imposing fiery wolf and turned teary-eyed.

The small ability…

It was more powerful than the ultimate abilities that they took painstaking efforts to practice!

Was this the power of a peak six-star?

This was too powerful!

As for Lu Ming?

No one cared about him anymore.

Faced with this powerful attack, even ordinary peak six-star would not be able to survive, notwithstanding Lu Ming who was four-star…

So what if he had a powerful mental strength?!

Faced with attacks of this level, it was useless!

Bang!

The fiery waves engulfed them.

The attack of the fiery wolf was completed.

All they could see was a huge wave of fiery flames rus.h.i.+ng toward Lu Ming, afterward…

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

Red lights dazzled!

A huge pit with a radius of ten meters from the spot where Lu Ming was at had been formed by the fiery wolf! There was burning gravel and a red heatwave inside the pit!

"Save him!"

The college teachers who were prepared made a move.

However…

They swept their mental strengths across the pit and were stunned. Where was Lu Ming?!

Yes!

Where was Lu Ming?!

The pit formed by the fiery wolf was very huge. They could not detect the aura of any living beings inside the pit or at the surroundings. Could it be that Lu Ming had been blasted to death?!

At the thought of this, the teachers were worried.

However…

Just then, Yan Suya looked toward the sky. There was a familiar figure at an alt.i.tude of more than ten meters.

Eh?

The surrounding teachers and students looked up instinctively.

Afterward…

They saw the floating figure in the air. Lu Ming was surrounded by a brilliant glow and there was a familiar card under his feet.

Was that the Original Card?!

The students were shocked.

d.a.m.n!

A Sword Card Master can actually fly?!

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

Lights flashed.

Lu Ming stepped on the Original Card, floating in the air. The Original Card seemed like a skateboard. It created a perfect arc in the air, the students were mesmerized by it.

This was Card Kinesis Flight!

"Ah… it is so handsome!"

"Yes. Oh my goodness, a Sword Card Master can actually fly! No matter what, I must become a Sword Card Master!"

"Forget it."

"Didn't you say that Card Kinesis Flight was very handsome?"

"What I am saying is that Lu Ming is very handsome…"

…

At this very moment…

In the field.

Yan Suya pulled a long face.

She did not expect that Lu Ming could fly. Of course, flying was alright. But he refused to come down and he made use of this chance to advertise his a.s.sociation!

Shus.h.!.+

She waved her hands and the fiery wolf disappeared.

"Lu Ming! Come down!" Yan Suya said indifferently.

"You should come up!" Lu Ming shouted.

"Get down here!"

Yan Suya frowned.

"You should come up!"

Lu Ming refused to compromise.

"Come down!"

"You should come up!"

"Come down!"

"You should come up!"

Yan Suya was exasperated by the childish conversation. She had the urge to kill him.

Did he think that they were playing games?!

It was really dangerous if they fell from such a height!

"Come down!"

Yan Suya gave her last warning.

"Come up here if you have the guts!"

Lu Ming naturally would not compromise.

What a joke!

He would lose face if he went down when told.

This was his advantage!

The army would never understand the advantage that the air force had over them…

However…

At this moment.

Shus.h.!.+

Before his eyes…

Lights and shadows flashed. A familiar figure floated in the air, appearing in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's body suddenly stiffened.

d.a.m.n!

Why is it that she can fly?!

…

[1] Yan Suya sounds like salted crispy duck in Chinese.
