Chapter 446 Download Progress 99.9%

In the endless sea.

Somewhere.

A figure was suspended in the air. As he waved his hands, the sea in front of his eyes formed a huge vortex along with the sway of his right hand.

Lights and shadows emerged in the vortex and a mark shone brightly.

However, the shadow was baffled. Despite his deductions, the mark that he had left behind did not have the slightest response. Seemingly, it had long vanished.

“Impossible!”

He furrowed his brows tightly.

With his current ability, nothing could possibly destroy his mark!

Well…

Where is the mark?

Also…

That host…

His expression was ugly when he remembered what had happened.

That d.a.m.ned guy. He threw a bunch of things at his face. In the end, he even shoved a light ball into his mouth and the ball exploded. It was simply a humiliation!

“Humph!”

At the thought of this, he sneered. Do you really think that you can escape?!

This world…

Its rules…

He was well aware of them.

At that time, his consciousness landed and disappeared very quickly afterward. However, in that instant, he seemingly saw where he was. An aura broke through the sky and penetrated the sky and earth!

Therefore…

It seemed to be a very famous aura?

Well… Only such an aura could afford to rear its presence.

It was interesting.

Since it was a strong influence…

Heh.

He chuckled.

Although his mark had been suppressed with a certain tactic, a mark was ultimately a mark. It could still have some effect. For example…

Shus.h.!.+

He waved in the air.

Suddenly, the vortex in the sea exploded and endless powers coalesced.

Afterward…

He stared at the dead silence of the sea quizzically. Is that mark really gone?

…

Tian Du City.

The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Lu Ming’s life had also returned to normal.

He lounged on the rocking chair lazily, researching cards and pondering at the same time. His shadow had already separated from his body and was cultivating in the corner…

The Original Card was also s.h.i.+ning constantly.

“Master, have some tea.”

Xiaobai brought him some tea.

“Hmm.”

Lu Ming closed his eyes slightly.

My life…

Cool~

However…

Just at this moment, Xiao-Xiaojian was suddenly alarmed. There was an outburst of cold lights and a gush of soul-penetrating and chilling aura enveloped its entire body. Lu Ming sobered up immediately.

This force…

Shus.h.!.+

That force suddenly disappeared.

It appeared and disappeared very quickly, as if it had never happened.

However, that feeling…

“Xiao-Xiaojian?” Lu Ming said in a low voice.

“It’s him.”

Xiao-Xiaojian did not have any doubts.

That guy was the only one who could make them feel this way! The terrifying living creature that had been hunting Brother Cat down!

“Did he discover us?” Lu Ming asked.

Xiao-Xiaojian, “No.

“Brother Cat said we can hang on till we’re seven-star…”

Lu Ming looked grim.

What was the other party trying to deduce this time?

Instinctively, he glanced at the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness. He remembered that his opponent has left a mark behind and Brother Cat even specially made a cattery to suppress it…

Shus.h.!.+

In the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.

The black cat stretched lazily. It was still very elegant.

However…

Lu Ming clearly noticed a burnt trace on the makes.h.i.+ft cattery which was used to suppress the mark… And on Brother Cat, the fur on the part of its body used to suppress it had… become thinner.

Brother Cat pretended to be nonchalant. It combed its surrounding fur toward the spot, creating an illusion of thick fur…

However, the truth was that there was less fur in that spot!

Lu Ming, who was once a programmer, was very experienced in that area.

Brother Cat changed its posture and lay down lazily.

That suppressed marking did not light up again. However, for some unknown reason, Lu Ming suddenly felt his heart ache.

All the while, Brother Cat had been fighting against that person silently?!

Right then…

It seemed to have noticed Lu Ming’s gaze.

The black cat lifted its head and said, “Meow.”

Cough.

Xiao-Xiaojian translated, “Brother Cat says that this small opponent is not worth mentioning. Since it says that he won’t be able to find us before you reach seven-star, he won’t be able to! Lu Ming, you have to focus on cultivating and improving your ability as soon as possible. Don’t always bully and rely on the card spirit. You have to become a mature Sword Card Master. Don’t be a disgrace to the Sword Card Masters! You must strive to reach seven-star in the most powerful way before the opponent arrives.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

d.a.m.n!

It only meowed once. How did you translate that many words?!

Do you think that you are Bastion [1]?!

Instinctively, he glanced at Brother Cat and found that Brother Cat had the ‘d.a.m.n! I didn’t know that my words could be translated in that way!’ expression on its face.

After contemplating the situation for a while, the black cat ignored the two. It waved its little paws and shoved the man and the card out.

Right then…

In reality.

Lu Ming cast an unfriendly stare at Xiao-Xiaojian. “What were Brother Cat’s actual words?”

“I already translated them for you a while ago,” Xiao-Xiaojian said.

“Its actual words!”

Lu Ming said in a cold voice.

“Meow!”

Xiao-Xiaojian shouted.

Lu Ming’s face dimmed and he suddenly had the urge to kill someone. d.a.m.n! Who told you to say the actual word!

“I’m going to hand you to Xiaobai if you don’t tell me. I heard that she is still carrying out some spirit body experiments,” Lu Ming threatened.

Shus.h.!.+

Xiao-Xiaojian fell silent instantly.

After a long while…

It then said, “Become stronger as soon as possible.”

“That’s it?”

“Hmm.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was certain.

Lu Ming was speechless.

d.a.m.n it! Why did you fake that many words then?!

d.a.m.n!

This kind of guy would definitely be an unrivaled fraudster if it was a novelist in his past life! The type that the readers would send blades to [1. To send a blade is akin to a ‘death threat’, expressing one’s displeasure and is mostly used in the context of AGCN – Animation, Comic, Game, Novel] everyday!

At this moment, he understood what Brother Cat meant.

Become stronger as soon as possible!

Brother Cat would only recover faster if he were to improve his ability. They could then better defend the attacks from other party and destroy that d.a.m.ned mark!

Time… seemed to be running out.

There was no hurry to break through to seven-star.

However, he could not afford any delay in improving his combat ability! According to what he and Brother Cat initially agreed upon, he had to become a six-star presence that could defeat a seven-star!!!

Brother Cat was doing what it needed to keep its promise. Before Lu Ming reached seven-star, it would not allow that person to disturb him!

Well…

Lu Ming also had to fulfill his promise.

“It seems that I have to speed up.”

Recently, he had been busy improving his combat ability, never stopping for a moment.

After he reached five-star, his cultivation speed had become much faster. He was already an advanced five-star but his speed was still… too slow!

The ‘fast’ was only relative to his own speed.

Think about it.

Yang Liu-er was also a six-star!

In essence, this was similar to financial management.

If one were to save his money in the bank, he would earn very little interest but have a very stable return.

If one were to do some financial investment, the returns might be higher but the risk of losing the princ.i.p.al was also higher.

If one were to speculate in shares, he might double or even triple the earnings. However, he might also suffer a huge financial loss. Despite this, there were many youngsters willing to take the gamble.

And now…

Cla.s.smate Lu Ming decided to be more radical.

“Improvement…”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

Well…

He a.n.a.lyzed his current strength.

“Yun-er.”

Lu Ming contacted Zhou Yun. “How’s the name list going?”

“I’m contacting them.”

Zhou Yun replied, “Because most of them are either on legacy sites or located far away, I need time to contact them one by one. But it’s alright. If it goes well, I will make them join us directly.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming understood.

Prior to talent increase, he could only rely on himself to improve steadily.

Well…

What else could he do to improve his combat ability?

Suddenly…

Lu Ming’s gaze landed on Xiao-Xiaojian. He recalled something.

“How’s the research on the third move of Lunar Shadow Legacy going?”

He remembered that, a long time ago, the research was almost completed with the help of Senior Qiu Shuyi. Why were the remaining 10 to 20% not done yet?!

“It’ll be done soon,” Xiao-Xiaojian replied.

“Why haven’t you completed it?”

Lu Ming was doubtful.

“Because it hasn’t been that long…”

Xiao-Xiaojian lamented listlessly.

“Why do I feel that it has been a very long time?”

Lu Ming was doubtful.

“Nonsense!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was furious. d.a.m.n it! You tear down one place a day. Of course, you feel that a long time has pa.s.sed! If you count carefully, not many days have pa.s.sed since Qiu Shuyi came!

Lu Ming sighed, “What’s the progress now?”

“99.9%,” Xiao-Xiaojian snorted and said coldly.

“Huh?”

Lu Ming was surprised. “It’s going to be done very soon then?”

“I’ve been stuck at this stage for two days.”

Xiao-Xiaojian sighed. “I have not figured out the last part.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Why are you stuck at this stage? Do you think you are Xunlei [2]?!

To Lu Ming, the Lunar Shadow Legacy was very important.

The cards were unique to him, but only swordplay and his not extreme cards were considered normal combat ability!

The first move of Lunar Shadow Legacy: Lightning Slash.

The second move of Lunar Shadow Legacy: Becoming one with the sword.

To date, he had been utilizing those two abilities.

They were very important.

He very much looked forward to the third move…

“Where are you stuck?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Well…”

Xiao-Xiaojian was baffled. “I think I have deduced it correctly but then I keep failing… I feel that clearly, I have almost figured it out but something seems to be missing…

“Almost…”

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.

Suddenly…

He messaged Senior Qiu Shuyi.

“Senior.

“Do you know about the feeling of being stuck in the middle when comprehending swordplay?”

Lu Ming asked.

“It’s normal.”

Qiu Shuyir replied, “Find some external force to aid. That will do.”

“External force?”

Lu Ming was doubtful.

“Right.”

Qiu Shuyi was certain. “I heard this from my teachers during lessons. This kind of feeling is similar to constipation. Basically, it’s something that a bottle of Glycerine Enema can solve.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

C-constipation?

d.a.m.n!

Senior!

You’re a wild one!

“What kind of external forces do Swordsman use?”

Lu Ming asked.

“I don’t know.”

Qiu Shuyi’s reply was very swift and direct. She even included an embarra.s.sed expression in her message. “Sorry, I’ve never encountered this before.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

This…

Was this contempt!?

“Is it that great to be a grandmaster?!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was furious. It said arrogantly, “When I vanquished the ancient era, her ancestors were not even alive! If the Sky Water Sword had not been severely injured, she wouldn’t be this arrogant…”

“Calm down!

“Calm down!”

Lu Ming held onto it.

Cough.

“She was only stating her own situation and not mocking you…”

“Humph!”

Xiao-Xiaojian felt furious at the thought of it.

During ancient times, it was a genius sword spirit! Now, it was not accustomed to its host and was not integrated with the Sky Water Sword…

After all, it had lost all its past memories.

Seemingly, its past memories had vanished into thin air with the Sky Water Sword…

They were all gone.

“It’s alright.

“I’ll ask someone else.”

Lu Ming coughed.

He thought for a few seconds.

Swordsman…

Oh.

Sister?

So…

He opened his contacts and messaged Lu Yan. “Sister, do you know the feeling of almost succeeding when comprehending a move, yet, something seems to be lacking?

“A kind of constipated feeling?”

Lu Yan replied.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Sister, what kind of demon are you?

“I heard about it from Master.”

Lu Yan reorganized her words. “Master said that this kind of feeling is similar to constipation and basically, it can be solved with one bottle of Glycerine Enema.

“That seems to be what she said.”

Lu Yan tried very hard to remember.

That should be right.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Fine.

He had forgotten that Senior Qiu Shuyi was his sister’s master…

Sigh.

What else would he be able to find out?

“Sister, do you know what the external force is then?”

Lu Ming asked.

“No, I don’t know.”

Lu Yan replied honestly, “I have not encountered such situations.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

“I’ll ask someone else.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

Why did he have to look for Sister and Senior Qiu Shuyi? Seriously…

Well…

He would look for someone who was not as talented.

Zhao Yunshan…

Ah, he seemed to have gone to a legacy site to cultivate.

As for the rest…

He scrolled through his contacts. Swordsmen he knew who were slightly weaker..,

Gao Tianlang?

Lu Ming came across this familiar name. Therefore, he messaged him, “”Brother Gao, do you know the feeling of almost succeeding when comprehending a move, yet, something seems to be lacking?”

However, there was no response from Gao Tianlang.

Eh?

He is not around?

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and then messaged Gao Xiaoqing, “Brother Gao, do you know the feeling of almost succeeding when comprehending a move, yet, something seems to be lacking?”

The other side responded swiftly, “How did you know that it’s me?”

Lu Ming turned sullen.

True enough…

It was no wonder adorable Sister Xiaoqing had not been contacting him lately!

That d.a.m.n sister complex!!!

“Let me tell you. Xiaoqing is in seclusion for a breakthrough!

“Don’t disturb her!”

Gao Tianlang warned.

He had to warn him.

Sister paid most attention to news from Lu Ming. Her mood could not be affected during the period of the breakthrough. Hence, it was best not to let her know about this.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming compromised.

In the first place, he did not intend to interrupt Xiaoqing from her cultivation. “Can you tell me how to use an external force then?”

“How would I know?”

Gao Tianlang sighed. “I have not encountered this before.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Suddenly, it felt very doubtful about its future…

d.a.m.n!

It could accept the fact that he could not beat Qiu Shuyi and Lu Yan. But now, it could not even be compared to Gao Tianlang?! Was I that lousy in the past!

“Really?!”

“Really!”

Gao Tianlang was very certain. “No matter what, I have top-tier talent. I can’t figure out some swordplays because I am not that powerful or have not reached that level!

“Well…”

“Don’t research swordplay that is beyond your level!

“If you do that hastily…

“You will be dead meat.

“However, that kind of feeling is quite different from being unable to completely figure out the swordplay due to poor talent,” Gao Tianliang said.

Lu Ming was speechless.

The third move of Lunar Shadow Legacy should be five-star?

As for Xiao-Xiaojian…

Similar to him, it was also advanced five-star!

Therefore…

There should not be any bottleneck?

Sigh.

“Oh.

“Right.

“You can try asking Wu Hongfei,” Gao Tianlang suggested.

“Didn’t he change his vocation?”

Lu Ming was doubtful.

“Before he did that, he was also a good-for-nothing. He is very good at this kind of thing,” Gao Tianlang said.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Alright.

Looking at Xiao-Xiaojian’s unstable emotional state, he pondered for a moment and eventually decided to contact Wu Hongfei. “Old Wu, do you have some time?”

Shus.h.!.+

The other side replied instantly, “h.e.l.lo, Feihong Divine Fortune Telling is at your service. Divination — 5,000 yuan per service, Geomancy — 9,999 yuan per service, Curse — Price to be negotiated in person.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Did he message the wrong person?

Fortunately, the other side responded at this moment.

“Lu Ming?”

“It’s me.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He then saw the same advertis.e.m.e.nt popping out again. “Can you turn off the auto-reply?”

“Oh.”

Wu Hongfei turned it off.

“Why? What’s the matter?”

Wu Hongfei was overjoyed. “Are you going to patronize your long-time friend’s business?”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes and then told him about the swordplay.

“Ah, this. It’s very simple.”

Wu Hongfei patted his thigh. “If there is not enough talent, the environment can make up for it! As you know, when you want to achieve a breakthrough, you find an environment with high energy density. It’s the same for swordplay!

“I remember that the Swordsman a.s.sociation has such a place.

“It can help you to comprehend swordplay,” Wu Hongfei said.

“I see.”

Lu Ming understood right away.

“Thanks.”

Lu Ming was grateful.

“No problem. Remember to give me some business in the future.”

Wu Hongfei said generously, “On the account that we are long-time friends, I’ll do some divination for you for free.”

“No! “No!”

Lu Ming waved his hands continuously.

Each time he spoke, there was trouble.

“Don’t worry.”

Wu Hongfei said unhappily, “I know that you guys shun me for being a bad omen. Rest a.s.sured, I know how to control and make use of this kind of power now!

“It’s all thanks to Senior Qiu’s guidance.

“I specially did some investigations and discovered that my body contains a kind of mysterious ancient curse power… Although it is already as diluted as the porridge in the school canteen…

“There is still some effect.

“So…

“I can use a bit of the powers now.”

Wu Hongfei was filled with pride.

Snort!

So what if I am a bad omen?

I can also reach the peak of my life!

“I see.”

Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.

True enough, one could distinguish oneself in any trade.

“I’ll help you take a look.”

Endless powers surged in front of Wu Hongfei’s eyes. Divination is a form of knowledge. He might not even understand some of the things that he deduced. For example, the image before his eyes.

“What is this?”

Wu Hongfei was dumbstruck.

Before his eyes, those words condensed and formed two words that he had never seen before.

“Lu Ming.

“Do you know someone called Ma Sha?”

Wu Hongfei felt very strange. “Or perhaps… Is your fate embroiled with someone called Ma Sha? It’s strange. This is all that I see.”

Lu Ming also broke out in a sweat.

Ma Sha?

What the h.e.l.l is that?!

He had only heard of Maserati…

“I might have made a mistake.”

Wu Hongfei felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Divination is normally very mysterious and intriguing. There may be connections only after several twists and turns. I don’t know how to a.n.a.lyze this yet.”

“It’s alright.”

Lu Ming smiled, “It’s free.”

“You’re right.

“Haha.”

Wu Hongfei replied, “I’ll look for you after I figure it out.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming shut off the communication device.

Ma Sha…?

Ma.s.sage?

Could it be that the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation is prepared to venture into this kind of service?

Cough.

Certainly not.

How would I be a.s.sociated with that?

At that moment…

He would rather focus on Xiao-Xiaojian. Xiao-Xiaojian looked dazed and numb, filled with worries of its life and future…

It was done for!

It was reduced to the same league as Wu Hongfei. How could it not feel worried?

“Lu Ming…

“I remember that I’m a sword spirit…

“I used to be very amazing…

“I’m not boasting. I’m telling the truth.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was aggrieved.

“I believe you,” Lu Ming rea.s.sured.

“I’m serious.”

Obviously, Xiao-Xiaojian was very emotional. “Oo… Oo… Although I can’t remember my past, my talent is not as poor as Wu Hongfei…”

After a long while…

Lu Ming brought it to the Swordsman a.s.sociation.

Regardless of its talent, it had to attain a breakthrough?

Right then…

The Swordsman a.s.sociation gave Lu Ming the best service immediately. They also arranged the best environment for him and gave him discounts.

“Brother!

“Please don’t target the Swordsman a.s.sociation when you create cards next time!”

The cultivator from the Swordsman a.s.sociation said profoundly.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

Was he the kind of person who would target other people’s a.s.sociation?

This was really…

Nevertheless, with the a.s.sociation’s cooperation, Xiao-Xiaojian entered the best environment for comprehending and cultivating. There was finally some progress to the swordplay that had already reached 99.9%…

Vaguely.

Lu Ming heard a loud and crisp ‘beep’ sound.

The comprehension was completed!

Xiao-Xiaojian, breakthrough!

Just at this moment, a beam of lights shot into the sky!

Bang!

Towering sword intent erupted, engulfing the entire Sword Card Master a.s.sociation like a galaxy. The floors of the a.s.sociation headquarters were suddenly s.h.i.+ning with purple lights!

Everyone felt suffocated!

This was… Purple lights!!!

All the Swordsmen paused in their tracks.

The a.s.sociation constructed the floors to help the Swordsmen better ascertain their level. In normal circ.u.mstances, it would display the level of swordplay directly.

It was similar to the cards of the Card Creator.

Purple.

In this place, there was only one possibility.

This was a phenomenal swordplay that surpa.s.sed ‘advanced swordplay’ and ‘surmounting swordplay’! This presence was enough for one to establish a new sect!!!
