Lu Yan exterminated a few peak six-star fearsome beasts easily. Just as she was prepared to leave, a figure condensed by lights suddenly ran into her, panting heavily.

“Lu Yan!

“Something major happened to your brother,” the figure said.

He was the messenger of this legacy site and he used his special ability to convey the messages.

Eh?

Lu Yan's heart trembled.

Shus.h.!.+

Lights and shadow flashed.

When she next appeared, she was already beside the figure.

“Speak.”

Lu Yan held up the figure with one hand and said coldly, “What is happening?”

“He is going to start a fight with the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation.”

The figure smiled bitterly.

Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation?!

Lu Yan's expression was grave.

The Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation was one of the most powerful branches of the Elementalist a.s.sociation. They had many seven-star figures and were indeed domineering and powerful!

How could such an a.s.sociation start a fight with Lu Ming?

However…

It did not matter!

No matter what, whoever bullied her brother was courting death!

“Xiaolan!”

Buzz—

Cold lights flashed.

A certain Sword Embryo which was in the midst of dissecting the fearsome beasts, looking for materials and destroying traces of corpses and evidence appeared beside Lu Yan, s.h.i.+ning faintly.

“Let's go.”

Lu Yan got up.

She was prepared to leave this place.

This trip… might entail a huge battle!

If she could not beat them…

She would escape with her brother!

At this very moment…

Those people who were in the trials with Lu Yan felt both surprised and elated. Ultimately, Lu Yan had a weakness!

Look.

So what if one had great talent?!

So what if she was that powerful?!

She had a fatal weakness – Lu Ming!

She would help her brother at all costs!

Heh.

This was not a good nickname.

She had a brother who loved to stir up trouble. They were happy and delighted to watch a genius like Lu Yan being dragged down. Look, he even dared to offend the Elementalist a.s.sociation!

He even delayed her during the precious trials of the legacy site….

“You don't need to go over.”

The figure wiped his sweat. “The seniors would like you to give Lu Ming a call…”

“Why?”

Lu Yan raised her eyebrow.

What was the use of contacting her brother?

Wait a minute.

Lu Yan suddenly came to her senses. Seniors… Which senior? Which family's senior?! Furthermore, if something were to happen to her brother, her brother would have contacted her long ago!

She looked down at her communication device and then at the base station afar that she had set up.

There was no problem with the service!

Shus.h.!.+

There was a cold flash in Lu Yan's eyes.

Lu Yan held up the figure in front of her again. “Who told you to come?”

“The Elementalist seniors.”

The figure smiled bitterly.

“What's the matter?”

Lu Yan's expression was calm.

“Well…

“It's better that you contact Lu Ming. It's true. The Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation said that they are willing to owe you a favor and plead you to communicate with Lu Ming…

“If you don't talk to him, I'm afraid the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation is going to be annihilated.”

The figure smiled bitterly.

“Huh?”

Lu Yan was shocked.

“Annihilated?”

The few cultivators beside them were also dumbstruck. They were gaping that widely that one could put an egg into their mouths… d.a.m.n it! Will the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation be annihilated?

“You must be kidding?!”

Someone was in disbelief.

You must be kidding?

Lu Ming!

He can annihilate the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation?!

Is this a joke?!

“Believe me or not. It's up to you.”

The figure told them to get lost impatiently and then looked at Lu Yan helplessly. “Madam, I beg you. Please contact Lu Ming. After all…”

He looked at the base station nearby. “You've already set up the base station. It's such a waste not to use it?”

“Is that true?”

Lu Yan smiled faintly.

It was a beautiful smile.

It was an alluring smile.

The snow on this legacy site seemed to have signs of melting. The people in the surrounding were somewhat surprised. Lu Yan had always been impervious to desires and pa.s.sions. She seldom smiled in this way.

Lu Yan ignored them.

She scrolled down her address list and her heart warmed as she looked at the familiar name and profile picture.

Brother…

It seems… that he has really grown up.

At this very moment…

It was already late into the night.

The shadow appeared in the sky above the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

He was a spy.

His mission was to spy on the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!

It was true.

Since Sen Ling City failed to poach Lu Ming last time, he came here.

He wanted to keep a close watch on the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation at all times and look out for strange creations or hidden secrets that could control the card spirits. He wanted to find out why they were that popular!

Well….

Of course.

He had not figured out anything at the moment.

It was true.

For example…

The president was a homebody and he seldom stepped out of the house.

For example…

That head of the publicity department was always beaten up by his own people, especially the man in black at the entrance. He often turned a corner and then beat Zhang Yang up.

Why???

He didn't understand or dare to question this.

Anyway.

He had monitored them silently until today. His chance was finally there!

Shus.h.!.+

He swept his cold and aloof gaze across and looked on as the policemen and the branch president of the Energy Warrior a.s.sociation suddenly appeared and entered the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!

Something major must have happened!

Late at night, Tian Du City had undergone huge changes. One by one, the policemen, Summoner and Energy Warrior appeared. How could he not pay attention to this?

However…

He could not figure out why these people would appear there?

What were they doing here?

What were they plotting secretly?

Perhaps…

The secret of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation's popularity was going to be exposed!

In the a.s.sociation.

Lu Ming and the group were in a direct confrontation with the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation. The branch president of the Energy Warrior a.s.sociation told Xiaobai to prepare the melon seeds. He was already sitting on a small stool.

He loved to be in for a good show.

Suddenly…

Lu Ming's communication device vibrated.

He took a glance and was shocked that Lu Yan called him!

Sister?

Lu Ming was surprised.

The group of Wind Elementalists afar took a glance and instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Yan had contacted Lu Ming. This meant that the seniors had played their part!

“Sister.”

Lu Ming picked up the call.

“Did the Wind Elementalists offend you?” Lu Yan asked.

“We have a small misunderstanding.”

Lu Ming looked at the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation afar expressionlessly.

d.a.m.n!

They are too shameless!

Forget it that you came here of your own accord. d.a.m.n it! You actually informed the parents!!!

“I understand now,” Lu Yan said softly.

She was well aware.

Her brother always had a sense of propriety.

Recently, she heard some news about him when she was faraway at the legacy site. She heard some seniors mention how outstanding he was and that he was on good terms with some people.

She was good at cultivating and combating. Certainly, she was lacking in the social aspect.

Her brother was much stronger than her in that regard.

Now.

Something major must have happened to make her brother, who had always dealt with things in a friendly manner and hate the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation!

“Do as you please.”

Lu Yan said softly, “I believe that the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation must have done something bad to be able to make you decide to annihilate them.”

“Huh?”

Besides feeling touched, Lu Ming also felt dumbstruck.

Wait a minute. How did this plot of annihilating the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation come about?!

“No.”

Lu Ming waved his hands continuously.

“You don't need to worry about anything.”

Lu Yan said gently, “If you want to do it, go ahead. If you can't do it, I'll help you. If we can't, I'll call my Master. It's just one battle! If we can't beat them, we will cultivate in seclusion and do it again after attaining a seven-star breakthrough! I will definitely help you to annihilate the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation.”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming felt even more puzzled.

d.a.m.n!

They were going to be annihilated just like that?

Wait a minute. The plot did not seem quite right?

Hence, he hurried and explained to Lu Yan briefly what happened. Lu Yan did not come to her senses for a long time after hearing it.

“That's it?”

Lu Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Therefore, Lu Ming created a card. Before he could figure out the effect of it, he had terrified the big shots of the Elementalist a.s.sociation? It was as if they were facing a formidable enemy?

It was really…

“Yes,” Lu Ming said honestly.

He usually would not hide the truth from his sister.

“Deal with it then.”

Lu Yan could not stifle her laughter.

In that case, it was no longer appropriate for her to intervene. However, she reminded Lu Ming, “Remember, you have to contact me if there is any danger.

“I'm always here,” Lu Yan said seriously.

“Okay.”

There was a surge of warmth in Lu Ming's heart.

He was very clear about what the ‘I'm always here' meant.

Bam!

He hung up the call.

Lu Ming looked at the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation in front of him sullenly.

Not far away, the branch president of the Energy Warrior a.s.sociation also glanced over curiously. He had already finished half the packet of melons in his hands…

d.a.m.n. They are delicious.

After a long while…

Lu Ming sighed.

He knew that…

If he did not let them take a clearer look at this card, they would always target him.

“You guys can come when I test the card later,” Lu Ming said calmly.

“Thank you!”

Everyone from the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation was emotional.

True enough.

The president was right. Seeking help from Lu Yan was effective!

Hence…

They informed the president immediately and the latter felt thankful. True enough, Lu Yan was more sensible than Lu Ming.

“Remember.

“In the future, take more care of Lu Yan. After all, we owe her a favor.

“Lu Yan doesn't seem to be as difficult as rumored. Look at what happened this time. She is also very understanding and easy to talk to.”

The president felt emotional.

“Yes, you're right.”

Everyone thought so too.

At this very moment…

Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

After braving the storm, the big shots of the few a.s.sociations also came to the testing base of the a.s.sociation to test the card.

This time, countless big shots were partic.i.p.ating in the testing.

Hence…

Lu Ming had materialized the cards beforehand.

Shus.h.!.+

He released this special card again.

Buzz—

Pink hues spread.

The entire a.s.sociation was filled with the pink glow again.

The big shots felt the special effect on the elements immediately. Looking baffled, everyone began to cast their abilities in disbelief.

Shus.h.!.+

They cast their abilities successfully!

Demonic?

No way!

“How does it feel?” Lu Ming asked.

He was not an Elementalist and could not feel anything.

“The element vitality has improved by about 12%,” the vice president responded.

Improved by 12%?

Shus.h.!.+

Everyone looked at Lu Ming. Was he fooling them with another card?

Lu Ming was confused as well.

Something was not quite right. He had used the same card earlier. He looked up at the pink sky. Besides this card, there was no other card.

“Wait a minute.

“I'll try it again.”

Lu Ming felt that something was amiss.

Hence…

After this card ended, he materialized another card.

Shus.h.!.+

The card was cast again.

Buzz—

Pink hues spread.

The expressions on the big shot looked even odder.

“How do you feel this time?” Lu Ming asked cautiously.

“The element vitality has increased by 50%…”

The vice president of the Wind Elementalist a.s.sociation sensed this carefully and his expression changed drastically. He displayed a complete att.i.tude from the beginning. He was elated.

This was element vitality!

This was not an element prowess!

What did it mean when the element vitality was increased by 50%?

It was a complete enhancement!

If one were to cast only one type of ability, of course, there would only be one effect. Nevertheless, if one were to cast combined abilities?

How much would one's combat ability improve by?

For example… if someone needed a few augmentation abilities for the few abilities that they often used in combat. But now, after the enhancement of the element vitality, they could increase it even further!

The combat ability would improve tremendously!

Even their recovery speed and energy circulation would improve by leaps and bounds!

To h.e.l.l with it!

How was this a demon card?!

This was clearly a divine card for Wind Elementalists!

“What?

“I will give it a try as well.”

“Together!”

“Oh my goodness. This kind of feeling…”

“It's fabulous!”

The other Wind Elementalists also sensed the surge of elemental energy and were instantly overjoyed. This Scene Card could actually improve their element vitality by that much!

It was amazing!

Hence…

The Wind Elementalists were immersed in this pool of energy filled with vitality.

The branch president of the Energy Warrior a.s.sociation, who had been munching on his melon seeds, widened his eyes.

d.a.m.n it! Is this true or not? This is actually a divine card for Wind Elementalists?

Instinctively….

He looked at Lu Ming.

However…

Lu Ming looked dumbstruck.

Who the h.e.l.l knows what is happening?!

Right then…

Outside the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

That shadow could barely hear what was going on. Seemingly, there were some disruptions inside. Furthermore, there were too many big shots and he did not dare to cast his abilities.

Hence…

He diligently listened and did not dare to approach them. He could only listen secretly and gingerly. Although the voices were very soft, he could occasionally hear some of the content.

Vaguely.

He seemed to have heard a young and tender male voice say — ‘How do you feel?' Afterward, there were some replies but he could not hear them clearly.

After a long time.

Something seemed to have happened.

There was suddenly dead silence in the place. That man's voice appeared again — ‘How do you feel this time?' Afterward, the responses were ‘fabulous', ‘together' and so on.

The shadow's expression dimmed.

It was true.

He looked at the pink Sword Card Master a.s.sociation and heard the faint voices. All of a sudden, he realized why the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation was that popular!

Spat!

“These dirty guys!

“Disgusting!”

He felt indignant.

It was no wonder he could not find out the secret of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation even though he was keeping a watch on them everyday! It turned out that it was present in the transactions that happened there every night! Furthermore, they were such shameless transactions!

It was too much!

Hence…

In his ‘observation report', he described what he saw that day in detail.

Of course.

He could not decipher some of the content through listening but it was fine. As an experienced spy, he filled in the missing content easily.

Tian Du City… was deteriorating!

Their Sen Ling City would definitely become a true huge city that surpa.s.sed Tian Du City!

At this very moment…

Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Lu Ming felt baffled at the beginning. Afterward, he had a new guess about the situation.

Hence…

He cast the card again.

Buzz—

Pink hues spread.

The expressions of all the Wind Elementalists changed drastically.

This was because they were shocked and terrified to discover that the fabulous feelings were gone and they could feel a surge of overwhelming and oppressive feelings from the surroundings.

That feeling…

It was as if all the elements were dead.

“The element vitality has decreased by 50%!”

The vice president had a terrified expression.

He tried to cast an ability that he was not that familiar with. Bang! It failed on the spot!

It was true.

This was the terror that that disciple felt previously!

The element vitality decreased by 50% and it was enough to fail an ability that one had not fully comprehended! Even if one had mastered one's skill to perfection, their power would also reduce significantly when they cast the ability!

“I understand now.”

Lu Ming was finally enlightened.

In that case, the effect of this special Scene Card was not fixed? Or perhaps, it had an alternating effect? He would know after he tried it!

Hence…

Lu Ming began the testing again.

First time…

The Wind Elementalists felt fabulous.

The second time…

The Wind Elementalists looked constipated.

Very well.

It had confirmed his doubts!

After a ma.s.sive number of tests and judging from the change of expressions of the Wind Elementalists, he finally confirmed the following — The effect of this special card was to adjust the element vitality. The scope was minus or plus 50%!

Shus.h.!.+

There was suddenly silence in the a.s.sociation.

Everyone glanced at one another.

Even the Wind Elementalists could not come to their senses for a long time. Their utmost concern was gone. However, what could this card be considered as?!

Who would dare to use it?

Who could use it?

How should they call it?

This was clearly a gamble!

Dead or alive.

If the vitality was increased by 50%, the combat ability would increase multiple times and one could beat the opponent to a pulp! If the vitality was reduced by 50%, they could not escape and would be beaten to death!

At the thought of this…

Everyone's expression turned odder.

“What is the name of this card?” the big shots of the Elementalist a.s.sociation instinctively asked.

“Hmm…”

Lu Ming thought about it.

Taking into consideration the unique characteristic of this card that one would either beat the opponent until they cried out ‘father' or be beaten by the opponent till one knelt and called them ‘father', he affectionately named the card…

“Family Bonds Card.”
