Chapter 299: Pardon Me for My Extremely Good Looks~
Breeze Pavilion.
The teenager stepped out with a gentle gaze.
At the entrance.
The people who had taken things looked a little embarrassed. They quietly hid the items away and coughed once, pretending as if nothing had happened.
“Those herbs…”
The teenager swept his gaze across them and then said calmly, “I suggest that everyone give up on them.”
Shush!
Everyone’s expression changed slightly.
Give up?
What does he mean?!
Some people were already wielding their weapons quietly.
I don’t care whether you’re from ancient or modern times. I’ll fight you either way. Telling us to give up on the benefit which is already in our hands? Impossible!
“Why?”
Someone’s face even had traces of blood.
They were from his earlier fight for a stalk of the millennium precious herb. Although he was injured, it was worth it.
This is something that I used my life in exchange for it and you want to take it away from me?
“These spirit herbs…”
The teenager pondered for a moment before saying, “They should have expired already.”
“Huh?”
The expression on everyone’s face froze immediately
“A thousand years… without any supply of energy…”
The teenager thought for a moment. “If my guesses are right, these things have already lost their spirituality and are only left with the skin. They are long rotten inside.”
“Impossible!”
One man tore the precious herb in his hands apart.
Click!
The herb broke.
Inside…
Some black fluff had grown and there was a vague foul smell.
It had really turned bad!
Everyone was dumbstruck.
To hell with it!
Who would have thought that the precious herb in the millennium chance encounter was actually spoiled?
“Blargh…”
Someone suddenly squatted at the corner and threw up badly. “Grass… Blargh… I just ate some… I was wondering why my energy didn’t increase. Blargh…”
Shush!
There was total silence.
People glanced at each other with awkward expressions. One by one, they threw away the items in their hands.
“Everyone…
“Are you disciples who are here for the assessment?” the teenager asked with the same calm demeanor.
“What assessment?” someone asked.
“Legacy.”
The teenager’s gaze was gentle. “This place is the Land of Legacy.”
Legacy…
Everyone was shocked.
The sect revived by the Restart Array was actually a Land of Legacy?!
“Didn’t everyone come here for our Spiritualist legacy?” the teenager asked.
Everyone wore a puzzled expression. What was a Spiritualist?
“It seems that the legacy of our Spiritualist vocation has already discontinued.”
The teenager sighed. “Many years ago, the sect master thought of this problem. That is why he constructed the Restart Array and hoped that we could retain and pass on the legacy.”
“What you’re saying is that…
“The purpose of your existence is the legacy?”
Someone was very skeptical.
After all…
The men in black were very ruthless and only interested in transactions. Who would believe that their ancestors would be that kind?
“Yes.”
The teenager nodded slightly.
“You guys have lived for a thousand years. How are we going to believe you?”
Someone sneered. “You guys can carry on with the legacy yourselves, why do you need to pass it to us?”
“Because…”
The teenager sighed.
With that…
He actually took a step forward.
Shush!
He lifted his hand.
One of his hands extended beyond the faint green glow.
Buzz—
His hand actually began to dissipate like dust. The teenager quickly retracted his hand to prevent it from disintegrating.
“It has been a thousand years. We’ve long decomposed.”
The teenager shook his head. “If the Restart Array completes its restoration, we can still survive in the sect. But now… After the legacy is passed down, it is time for us to dissipate…”
Was that true?
Everyone looked at each other.
The legacy…
This huge sect was actually a legacy!
“I don’t believe you!”
“Humph!”
“How is it possible for the person who set up this array to be a good one?”
Someone sneered.
Although he was not a good person, he knew some things about the Restart Array. When the Restart Array was activated, it was feared that there would be countless deaths and injuries!
Of course.
He did not care about the number of deaths.
He had only one concern — These guys were also not easy to deal with! They planned for a thousand years in order to retain their legacy. Why did it sound that questionable?
The teenager smiled bitterly.
After a long while…
He said with a bitter look on his face. “Young master… A thousand years ago, when the Restart Array was constructed, this place was only a wasteland…”
Everyone was speechless.
I-it seems very logical!
Qing Ming City was built here later. How could you blame other people for forming the array a thousand years ago?!
This…
Everyone glanced and faced each other.
In that case…
It was possible they did this solely for the sake of passing on the legacy?
“Everyone…
“I hope that you can stop fighting.
“If you really want to fight, you can do that when you are in the legacy. Please don’t start killing each other. It is not necessary. We have been revived only because we want to pass on the legacy…
“That’s it.”
That teenager had a gentle and warm look in his eyes.
Everyone glanced at one another and unknowingly stopped fighting.
Spiritualist…
This sect… was actually that friendly?
…
“What do you think?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“I have a hunch that something is not quite right.”
Xiao-Xiaojian’s expression was strange.
“Why?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“Intuition!”
Xiao-Xiaojian did not have any hesitation.
Very well.
He had confirmed his doubts.
Lu Ming knew something in his heart.
Xiao-Xiaojian’s intuition had never failed before…
Shush!
Xiaobai suddenly tugged the corner of Lu Ming’s shirt.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Ming said in a low voice.
“He… is a bad guy.”
Xiaobai pointed at the teenager afar.
“Why?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
“He’s ugly…” Xiaobai said honestly.
Lu Ming was silent.
He glanced at the teenager afar.
Well…
Although he had less than one-third of his looks, he already fit the bill of a bright-eyed, dashing eyebrows, tall, handsome and charming man from ancient times. This was considered ugly in the eyes of Xiaobai?
He kept having the feeling that his appearance had had a huge impact on Miss Xiaobai’s view of the world…
Sigh.
What should he do?
It was not his fault that he was handsome!
“He’s alright.”
Lu Ming tried to correct Xiaobai.
“No.”
Xiaobai shook her head. “Very ugly… He’s the ugliest person I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh?”
There was a cold glint in Lu Ming’s eyes.
Ugliest?
He glanced at the teenager at a distance. He still looked that amiable and smiley. People could not help but trust and approach him. This kind of teenager had received an ‘ugliest’ assessment from Xiaobai?
Was it really because he was too handsome and this caused Xiaobai to feel the huge difference?
Or perhaps…
Xiaobai saw something else?
It seemed that he had to be more careful.
Suddenly…
That teenager’s gaze suddenly landed on Lu Ming and then on Xiaobai. “Why is there a child?”
“Hello, senior.”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “We are from Qing Ming City and entered this place by mistake. Can you let us leave?”
“I’m afraid not.”
That teenager shook his head. “Once we leave this place, the legacy will definitely dissipate. You can leave after the legacy ends. Right now, since you’re already here… participate in the legacy.
“Don’t worry.
“During the assessment period in the legacy, killing is not allowed.
“All of you are very safe,” the teenager said.
“Thank you.”
Lu Ming was grateful.
“Hey man, your assessment doesn’t allow killings. Don’t tell me your sect’s legacy is one of those calm and chill ones? If that’s really the case, what’s the use of us competing for it?” a burly man asked.
“Of course not.”
The teenager smiled faintly. “The cultivators of my sect slay demons. How is it possible that we don’t kill?! For the assessment in the legacy, it’s only because the sect master is kind and can’t bring himself to see disciples die in the sect.”
So, that was what happened.
Everyone finally understood.
In that case, this sect master was certainly not bad…
Oh.
Assessment?
They glanced at each other and were truly tempted.
This was a millennium fortuitous encounter and a thousand-year legacy. It was far more powerful than they had imagined. Right, they could temporarily put away all their feuds and grievances and compete for the legacy!!!
Somewhere.
The men in black were hiding in the dark.
They initially wanted to be an oriole [1.Oriole refers to the yellow bird in the chinese expression “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it “. The expression means that one should be constantly vigilant and not become so focused on one task as to be oblivious of potential dangers lurking elsewhere], but now…
“Let’s go.”
They got up and removed their black attire. They then blended into the teams that were participating in the assessment.
…
“Everyone… Please follow me.”
The teenager led the way. “The spiritualist vocation has three types of legacies. The most basic one is the Spell Legacy in the Breeze Pavilion. It’s the foundation of my sect.”
Clang!
He pushed open the main door of the Breeze Pavilion.
Shush!
Lights and shadows transformed.
Everyone seemed to have entered a brand new world.
Buzz—
Faint lights and shadows engulfed them.
When they looked again, everyone was already in a bizarre and grotesque world.
At the entrance, the center of a medium-sized array was glimmering.
“Spiritualists.
“They can draw the powers of heaven and earth for their own use. Therefore, we need to assess everyone’s affinity with heaven and earth. For this, you don’t need to do anything. You just have to walk to the center of the array.”
The teenager’s voice could be heard.
Oh?
Assessment of talent?
Everyone seemed deep in their thoughts.
It seems that a Spiritualist is like an Elementalist?
“To be more precise, it’s like a composite Elementalist.”
An Elementalist was thrilled.
Oh my goodness!
This is actually a legacy that belonged to Elementalists!
Elementalists nowadays divided the vocation into single elements such as pure fire, water and so on. This was also because there were too few composite elemental techniques and they could not form a system of their own!
For example—
Water Fire Elementalist.
They always had X layers of ice and fire!
For example—
A Wind Earth Elementalist.
It was always Desert x Storm!
What about the rest of their abilities?
They were very few and far between…
Although such composite abilities had shocking power, one would be beaten to a pulp if this was the only thing that they knew. People would be able to crack it in seconds.
But now?
The legacy was here…
“I’ll do it!”
He was the first to step into the array.
Buzz—
Lights shone.
Two sentences with small font actually appeared in the array.
——
Fire affinity: 8
Water affinity: 8
——
“Oh?”
“He’s actually the flame and frost type?”
The teenager’s eyes lit up. “Not bad. For Spiritualists, it is already exemplary to score eight points for the affinity. Although you only have two affinities, you’re outstanding in them. If you can persist till the end and attain the legacy, I remember that there are some water-fire related legacies that you may have luck with.”
“Thank you!”
The Fire Elementalist was thrilled.
It turned out that he had an affinity for the water element too!
“Haha.
“This is an Elementalist legacy.”
The burly man pursed his lips.
Damn it.
He was tricked.
If he had known that this was the case, he wouldn’t have remained here
He was already a peak five-star. If he were to re-cultivate, that would be a waste of time and effort! Furthermore, Elementalists were so wishy-washy. They were not as forthright as Energy Warriors!
“Don’t worry.”
“Since this is a legacy, it’ll definitely help you become a Spiritualist without any loss!
“Although our bodies are going to dissipate soon, we still have the ability to help you inherit the legacy. Therefore, please don’t worry and take the assessment.”
The teenager smiled faintly.
“Okay.”
The burly man was elated.
Damn!
It turned out that he could do a vocation switch!
He should have said so earlier!
Although Elementalists were kind of sissies, a Spiritualist seemed very cool. Therefore, he became the second one to step into the array excitedly.
Shush!
Lights and shadow flashed.
The world was still peaceful.
——
Nil.
——
That burly man looked dumbstruck.
Damn!
What was the meaning of ‘nil’?!
The other cultivators in the surroundings almost laughed out loud. No element affinity. What did this mean? It meant he couldn’t sense any elements at all!
“This…”
That teenager was also surprised.
Even for an ordinary person, the possible result might be ‘Fire Affinity: 2’ and so on. It was very rare for someone to get the result ‘nil’.
“Which type do I belong to?”
“Uh…”
The teenager pondered for a moment. “I think… It’s those who have zero affinity with heaven and earth.”
“Forget it.”
The burly man was disappointed. “I will wait for the other two legacies.”
Most likely, he could only be an onlooker for the assessment later.
…
At this very moment…
Everyone was very tempted. One by one, they also stepped into the array.
——
Earth affinity: 5
——
Wind affinity: 6
——
…
Wait a minute.
Various kinds of talents appeared.
Some people had three or four talents or cultivations. There were also some people who only had one talent but their affinities soared to nine directly!
In the end…
After they went through the array, the most talented one was actually the Fire Elementalist who first stepped into the array!
Double eight talent!
Ice and fire combination!
According to the teenager, this kind of unique type had the power to become stronger. The double eight result was tantamount to the single nine of other types!
Of course.
Because the Spiritualist majored in composite techniques, therefore their double nine was almost comparable to the single ten of an ordinary person. If this Fire Elementalist cultivated the Spiritualist vocation, he would be comparable to a single element Elementalist with top-notch talent!
“I didn’t know I was that amazing?!”
The Fire Elementalist was pleasantly surprised.
Although the assessment of the Breeze Pavilion had just begun, obviously, this was a spectacular start.
“There is no hurry.”
The teenager looked at the two people who had not done the assessment.
“You too.”
That teenager looked at Lu Ming.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming led Xiaobai over.
Shush!
The moment he stepped into the array…
Buzz—
Lights flashed.
Bang!
A row of shocking data appeared.
Yes.
What was shocking was not the radiance but the… data!
Everyone looked over. Above Lu Ming’s head where the data emerged in the air, they saw something that looked like Tetris: rows of data stacked up in that instant.
Whoosh!
The sudden and tremendous increase in data was stacked up to ten meters high!
Everyone was dumbstruck.
What the hell is this?
Could it be that Lu Ming is actually a one-in-a-million genius?!
Right then…
Even that teenager’s eyes were shining.
However…
When he walked closer to take a look, he instantly froze.
——
Wind affinity: – 1
Water affinity: – 1
Earth affinity: – 1
Fire affinity: – 1
…
Light affinity: – 1
Darkness affinity: – 1
…
Yin affinity: – 1
Yang affinity: – 1
…
——
There was a total of over a hundred affinity data!
The most shocking thing was…
They were all minus one.
“What does this mean?”
Everyone was dumbstruck.
“This…”
The teenager was puzzled.
He looked up.
Almost all the affinity data was up there…
The testing array set up by his forefathers had a record of over hundred kinds of affinities in the world. It was also for the sake of completeness. It was extremely rare that someone could have such a test outcome. T-this…
What did this mean?!
He had once seen someone with shocking talents that scored a ten in a certain affinity!
Their brightness soared to the sky and they were deemed as heaven’s pride!
But…
This had never happened before. He relied solely on the data to soar to the sky?!
It was a pure overlay.
There was nothing else.
“Which type do I belong to?”
Lu Ming was confused as well.
The long rows of data seemed very impressive!
“This…
The teenager hesitated for a long time before finding a suitable description. “E-equal treatment of all types?”
