Chapter 301 - Why Did They Provoke Him For No Reason?!
Chapter 301: Why Did They Provoke Him For No Reason?!
Breeze Pavilion.
The assessment had already begun.
They encountered falling meteors in every step they took.
One could sense the meteor and choose to absorb it or take a second step to avoid it. If one chose to avoid the falling meteor, it would be added to the other meteors and they would land more quickly.
So, if possible, one had to be sure to absorb all the energy that one could absorb as soon as possible to get to the end.
Well…
This was according to what the teenager said.
The first to reach the finishing point would be more likely to inherit the legacy.
Hence…
The cultivators worked extra hard as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Bang!
Bang!
The meteors fell one after another.
The cultivators were trying very hard to absorb the energy. Although they could not dominate the assessment like Xiaobai, they could tell the meteors apart through perception and absorb the energy and advance.
Except for one person…
He squatted at the entrance, absorbing the energy of the first meteor.
“Why are you such a loser?”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
It knew that Lu Ming was not talented. But it never expected that it would be to this extent. It seemed that the so-called negative one was lower than imagined!
“I’ll do it.”
It volunteered to do it.
Buzz—
The Original Card rushed into the meteor and began to absorb. However, what was shocking was that the absorption seemed to be slower than before…
“Why are you such a loser?”
Lu Ming sighed.
Given its abilities, how dare it mock him?
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
True enough.
Both of them were the top losers…
“Brother, don’t you take a rest as well?”
The burly man who squatted at the starting point could not stand it anymore and said earnestly, “This place is full of energy. Just pure cultivating can increase one’s strength greatly. There is no need to waste time in the assessment.”
Lu Ming was silent.
Damn it.
He could not take it that a man who had zero affinity with heaven and earth sympathized with him.
“It’s alright, I am just playing around.”
Lu Ming smiled.
Afterward…
He tried to use his energy to increase the absorption rate, but it was useless! There was really nothing he could do since he had a low score for element affinity!
All the meteors seemed to be elemental meteors!
It was too slow!
Lu Ming looked into the distance. If he looked at it in terms of bandwidth, Xiaobai was a 4G network, the cultivators were 3G networks, as for him, he was only a 2G network…
He was super slow!
“What about me?”
Xiao-Xiaojian leaned in.
Lu Ming sneered. “You are at 3G speed!”
“What is that?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed.
But then again, 3G sounded better than 2G…
It felt pleased.
“Haha.”
Lu Ming cast it a glance and remained silent. He looked at the cultivators and he suddenly remembered that he had an advantage over others. “Let’s do it together.”
That was right!
Both of them could absorb at the same time!
His talents and those of Xiao-Xiaojian overlapped with each other!
In that case…
It would be faster if they absorbed energy at the same time.
Hence…
They tried again and it was indeed faster!
Originally, they needed more than one year. Right now, it had been reduced to one year.
Both of them were silent.
The damn Spiritualist legacy!
“Well…”
Xiao-Xiaojian paused. “Didn’t you say that as a two-star, you wiped out all the five-stars and six-stars in the Lunar Shadow legacy to inherit the legacy?”
It doubted him.
It had heard of Lu Ming’s performance in the Lunar Shadow legacy… the story where he wiped out all the cultivators! Why was it that he was so useless in the Spiritualist legacy?
Lu Ming was silent.
What could he do about it?
He was desperate too!
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming sighed. “Take it slowly.”
Anyway, they were not interested in the Spiritualist vocation. After all, a Spiritualist was merely a composite Elementalist! It was someone who combined many elements!
He was not interested at all!
Hence…
There was a strange and mysterious scene in the meteor assessment.
Miss Xiaobai was all the way in front. She dominated the assessment and all the meteors were hers. Xiao-Xiaobai dazzled with lights and absorbed the energy as well!
Lu Ming was all the way at the back. He had yet to absorb the energy from the first meteor. Xiao-Xiaojian flashed and like him, was the last among the group.
“Lu Ming is indeed…”
“I thought Lu Yan’s brother was very capable.”
“It seems that genes are not reliable.”
“Certainly!”
Some people glanced at each other and found it funny.
Lu Yan was his sister. But his performance was too lousy! He was not only not as talented, he was simply lousy!
“I heard that Lu Ming is known for being ordinary in Qing Ming City.”
“I’ve heard about it.”
“A loser!” one man said.
Everyone had some time to spare while absorbing energy.
Hence…
They began to chit-chat.
Initially, Lu Ming had decided to ignore them.
However…
He suddenly thought of the sudden death of Little Lu Ming… Perhaps, back then it was because of this gossip that he wanted to leave the place that he grew up in?
That was right.
With such a sister around, no matter how diligent Lu Ming was, no one would see it.
They only saw the outcome.
Afterward…
They labeled him as a loser.
Given Little Lu Ming’s self-esteem, he would not be able to take it. After all, not everyone was as generous and open-minded like Lu Ming…
“Are you saying that you are shameless?” Xiao-Xiaojian asked instinctively.
Lu Ming cast him a deep glance and made a mental note of its behavior today.
Hehe.
He would teach him a lesson later on.
Anyway.
At times, slanderous rumors were the most malicious attacks!
Hence…
Lu Ming thought about it.
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming suddenly called Xiaobai over.
“I am here.”
Xiaobai, who was all the way in front, went back through the meteor shower.
“How does it feel?” Lu Ming asked gently.
“It’s fun.”
Xiaobai was in high spirits.
“The meteor balls were fun to play with and they kept flying around. Moreover, they could increase my energy. It was better than staying at home to cultivate.”
“Don’t go too fast.”
Lu Ming instructed. “See those uncles? They are old and their legs are not as strong. Besides, they are not as talented. If you go too fast, they will be embarrassed.
“After all…
“Unlike me, everyone is interested in the Spiritualist legacy. If you go too fast, you will make them seem useless. If the legacy is passed on to them, they will feel embarrassed to accept it. Therefore, slow down.”
Lu Ming guided her earnestly.
Shush!
The group of men looked sullen.
He was too much…
“Okay.”
Xiaobai felt that her master was making sense and she turned to tell them, “All the best!”
“Good, go along now.”
Lu Ming stroked Xiaobai’s head.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai went off to absorb the meteor shower.
Hence…
The world turned silent.
People looked at Lu Ming and ignored him.
However…
Lu Ming seemed to be addicted to it.
Every few minutes, he would call Xiaobai over to chat with her and tell her that she was too talented and she was not being considerate of others, embarrassing them.
The other cultivators’ expression turned increasingly dark…
This was too much!
This was humiliation!
Besides…
It was fine if it was Lu Ming. However he told Xiaobai to walk next to them… Damn it! All the meteors crowded next to Xiaobai and it was a mess…
Several people were smashed and ended up returning to the starting point!
Was this a joke?!
Hence…
Every time Miss Xiaobai walked past, a few people would be in trouble…
Finally.
When Lu Ming once again called Xiaobai back, the cultivators were furious.
“Lu Ming! Don’t be too much of a bully!”
“Exactly.”
“We admit that Miss Xiaobai is very talented. But is there really the need to humiliate us?”
Some people were furious.
Lu Ming cast a weird glance at them. “I am teaching my disciple. What does it have to do with all of you? Besides, it is normal to compete in a legacy! Since when are all of you so petty?”
Everyone was speechless.
It did make sense. However… this was not the way to do it!
Where was his shame?!
At this very moment…
The teenager witnessed the scene and was speechless.
He watched helplessly as the talented Miss Xiaobai made multiple trips back and forth in the meteor shower…
Who could take it?
It would be strange if the other cultivators were not upset by her.
“This… Is this Mister Lu Ming?”
The teenager had a bitter smile on his face. “About this, well…”
“You shut up too.”
Lu Ming sneered. “If you dare intervene, I will tell Xiaobai to give up on the legacy.”
The teenager was silent.
He thought about Xiaobai’s talents and looked at the people in the distance…
Given her talents, if she refused to accept their legacy, they would feel regretful… After all, such talents were rare…
Hence…
He actually shut up.
Shush!
The whole world was silent.
The cultivators looked furious. They glanced at the few people who gossiped about Lu Ming in the beginning. There was a cold glitter in their eyes, their murderous intent was obvious.
Damn it.
Why did they provoke him for no reason?!
The few of them were silent.
God knew that Lu Ming would be so cheap and shameless!
Did his sister know that he was such a shameless person?!
Hence, the world was quiet now.
The cultivators decided to ignore Xiaobai, pretending not to see her. Even when she walked in front of them once or twice or…
Back and forth…
The teenager was in a difficult position.
There were several times where he wanted to stop her. But he looked at Xiaobai and he shut his mouth. As the examiner of this assessment, he felt very frustrated…
He wondered if this was how cultivators from a thousand years later behaved.
…
“Look, I have subdued all of you.”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
After giving them a reality check and seeing that they had given up, Lu Ming could not be bothered with them anymore, Instead he focused on the energy!
Although he was not interested in being a Spiritualist, he welcomed more energy!
Especially—
He who had one hundred thousand points of energy!
With one hundred thousand points of energy, if he wanted to increase his energy level, he needed more energy to temper!
Oo…
Lu Ming felt envious of the meteor shower in front of him.
He could sense the energy within the meteor shower. It was a pity that due to the element affinity, he had no way to absorb it. However…
What if he used other methods?
For example…
Transferring it to the Sea of Consciousness?
Shush!
Lu Ming tried to transfer the energy and realized that he had been over thinking the whole thing. If all this could be transferred to the Sea of Consciousness, others would have done it.
Well…
Shush!
Lu Ming raised his hand.
The Original Card appeared. Seal!
Buzz—
A meteor disappeared and was sealed by Lu Ming into the Original Card!
The element meteors were formed out of energy. It was akin to a type of elemental ability and hence it could be sealed. However, it seemed to be useless after sealing it. Lu Ming directed Xiao-Xiaojian to make a round and it sealed seven identical meteors, evolving them into a meteor shower!
However…
It was still useless!
This method did not aid in the absorption of the energy!
“Alright.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Since he was not talented, there was nothing that he could do.
Forget it.
He should let Xiaobai have this fortuitous encounter…
Eh?
Lu Ming swept his thoughts over the Sea of Consciousness. He was surprised to find that there was a pile of three-star Elementalist cores lying at the corner of the Sea of Consciousness…
Oh.
This seemed to be the batch of cores he still had from the last time.
He remembered that he had depleted many of his vocation cores during the previous few battles. The reason why these were left behind was because these vocation cores were too weak. They were only at three-star level…
Lu Ming could not be bothered to throw them away.
But right now…
Lu Ming took a look. There was wind, fire, water and other common elemental cores. But all of them were at the three-star level.
Three-star…
Suddenly, Lu Ming was tempted.
Should he give it a try?
Right now, he was still in the midst of absorbing his first meteor. According to his analysis, this should be a fire element…
Hence…
Lu Ming took out a fire elemental core.
Shush!
Countless fire elements suddenly condensed into the fire elemental core. Within a few seconds, the energy in one huge meteor was totally absorbed!
Well?!
The cultivators from afar cast him a glance.
Lu Ming…
How was it possible that he could absorb one meteor in an instant?
However, when they thought about it, Lu Ming had squatted there for a long time before he completed the first meteor, while they were already halfway there…
They were still thinking…
When suddenly…
Shush!
The second meteor in front of Lu Ming suddenly disappeared.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Damn!
What the hell was this?!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The meteors fell one after another.
They were horrified to realize that Lu Ming who was skiving just now seemed to have turned on a cheat and he was unbridled as he wiped out the meteors!
One!
Two!
Ten!
Lu Ming quickly caught up with the rest.
“How is that possible?!”
Everyone was shocked.
This speed…
They clearly remembered that Lu Ming was not talented!
Swoosh!
Another meteor fell.
They witnessed how Lu Ming waved his hands and it merged into his hands and disappeared. All the energy seemed to be absorbed!
“Hello.”
Lu Ming gave them a friendly greeting when he walked past them.
It was a pity…
Everyone ignored him.
“Come on! Continue!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
All the vocation cores could indeed absorb the energy!
After absorbing many fire element meteors, the three-star Fire Elementalist vocation core had broken through four-star…
Yes.
The vocation core had broken through!
Not only that, it was still gaining energy at a high speed, working toward five-star!
There was no cultivator!
There was no interference!
The element cores increased at an unrivaled speed as there was nothing but energy. Therefore, many three-star vocation cores broke through to four-star.
Well…
Lu Ming began a mad rush to absorb the energy.
Legacy?
What was the point?!
What was fundamental was increasing his energy level!
Hence…
Lu Ming ran back and forth in the assessment, continuously absorbing energy and six-star elements. The element cores became stronger and stronger…
In the end…
Just when Lu Ming was getting ready for them to break through to five-star…
Shush!
The meteor shower suddenly stopped.
Eh?
Lu Ming looked up, wearing a dazed look on his face. He noticed that everyone looked sullen and the examiner had a dumbstruck look as he had yet to come to his senses.
The energy had run out and the array had stopped working. It was forced to stop!
The assessment… had been forced to terminate!
