The second mountain.

Since everyone had passed the assessment, the assistant path was opened again.

Buzz—

The river reversed its flows, sending everyone to the finishing point.

“It’s over.”

Niu Xinghai and the rest were full of emotions.

As the assistants, they were fairly satisfied with this assessment.

Although they vomited blood upon entering the river, they were able to stabilize themselves and their bodies were being nourished. By the time the assessment ended, their physical fitness level had increased tremendously!

Their bodies were noticeably stronger!!

They were able to benefit from it!

“Your Sword Aura…”

Zhao Yunshan looked at Lu Yan. “Was it that powerful?”

He really did not understand.

He tried to release the Sword Aura in the river, however it merely made a small impact when it entered the river. The river designed by Lunar Shadow seemed to weaken the Sword Aura by ninety percent!

This was normal.

Since this was a tempering assessment, it should weaken the Sword Aura!

However, Lu Yan actually brought her brother with her on a wooden boat with her Sword Aura!

How could that be possible?!

Was her Sword Aura endless?

“What?”

Lu Yan was confused.

“Aren’t you the one?”

Judging from her expression, Zhao Yunshan knew that she was not feigning ignorance.

“Of course not!”

Lu Yan shook her head. “I tried, but the river cancelled out the Sword Aura. Otherwise, I would have brought my brother with me.”

“You’re right.”

Zhao Yunshan understood. “But what about the driving force behind the wooden boat…”

“He was the one who did it.”

Lu Yan shook her head. “I used the Sword Aura to cut some trees to make the wooden raft. He did all the rest. I did not interfere too much.”

“So, that was what happened.”

Zhao Yunshan suddenly understood.

Sure enough.

He knew that it was impossible that Lu Yan’s Sword Aura was that powerful?!

He knew it!

He was not too far from Lu Yan!

Haha.

This was all done by Lu Ming…

Wait a minute.

Zhao Yunshan suddenly recovered his senses.

Oh.

Crap!

If it was done by Lu Ming, wasn’t it more hurtful?! That was to say that Lu Ming defeated him with his own efforts in the assessment?!

At the thought of this…

Zhao Yunshan’s expression darkened.

“My condolences.”

Niu Xinghai was glad to see how things evolved.

Seriously…

In the past when he worked with this baller, this guy would always pretend to be capable of annoying them. It was damn irritable. But what about now? He had been slapped in the face twice by Lu Ming!

He suddenly felt that it was nice to tag along to watch the fun. Well, he had to admit that the entrance fees were expensive…

But it was fun. Hahahaha!

To think that Zhao Yunshan would be in such a situation. Hahahahaha!

…

I am alright!

I am in first place!

The two of them do not count!

Zhao Yunshan kept consoling himself.

However, why was it that he felt so upset? He was a Card Creator. He did not need the legacy and it was useless to him. Why did he fight to be the first?!

He was indeed Lu Yan’s brother. He was just as exasperating as his sister!

…

“Not bad.”

Gao Tianlang ignored them.

So what if Lu Ming came in first?

Zhao Yunshan should be the best at this assessment. Hehe, it was embarrassing that other people ranked first.

What mattered to him most was his younger sister’s development.

She had made good progress!

Although it was due to the medicinal herbs that played a part, it was already something to be proud of. Moreover, she was able to undergo powerful body tempering in the river.

Her physical quality was greatly improved!

She managed to catch up with Wu Hongfei!

He was very pleased!

Yes.

Gao Xiaoqing had managed to catch up with Wu Hongfei.

After the efforts made in the second half of the river, as the nourishing energy in the river had greatly reduced, they could feel the impact made by the waves vividly. They had no choice but to slow down!

As for Gao Xiaoqing…

Her medicine worked while she advanced and she managed to overtake Wu Hongfei.

Wu Hongfei also successfully achieved his original goal, which was not to be caught by an assistant! Because, in the end, there were two assistants that overtook him—

There were a total of two assistants.

…

At this moment…

Everyone took a short rest after which they proceeded to the third mountain.

There was nothing in this assessment. There were no snowstorms or rivers. It was just a plain mountain path. It seemed as if one only needed to take the mountain path to clear this assessment.

“The third mountain…”

“Assessment of talents…”

Buzz—

A thought swept over everyone. Lu Ming was keen to notice that the thought seemed to linger longer on him. The feeling…

It seemed to be wondering how he managed to get in.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn!

These days, the remnant thoughts of Lunar Shadow would bully people as well?!

Lunar Shadow’s voice paused for a long while.

After a long time…

He finally spoke up.

“Full moon…”

“Two-star peak…”

“Driven by two-star power…”

“The one who can comprehend it the best will be in first place…”

…

Swoosh!

In the mountain range in the far distance.

A sudden light appeared and there were many shadows. A perfect arc was made in the air, a Sword Aura burst from his hands, shooting into the air, turning into a crescent moon.

Buzz—

The full moon was dancing in the sky.

The effect was shocking.

T-this was the full moon!

Buzz—

Buzz—

Many full moons flashed in the mountain range.

“This is the assessment of comprehension!”

“He wants to assess our comprehension of Swordsman abilities!”

Everyone finally understood.

“Talent…”

Gao Tianlang’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

Finally…

Finally, it was his turn to shine!

Apart from Lu Yan, among the few Swordsmen present, he was the most talented person! His comprehension of the Swordsman abilities was already far above the veterans!

Not to mention these people!

Furthermore…

Full moon was only at the two-star level!

Perhaps taken into consideration the capability of Wang Xuan and the rest, the assessment was only at the two-star level. But even if it was two-star, he still was the most experienced!

Buzz—

A full moon flashed.

Gao Tianlang leaped and entered the assessment.

Shush!

Shush!

He could sense the aura of the full moon that surged past him. He released his Sword Aura from his hands, imitating the way the Sword Aura of the full moon worked, although it was clumsy…

“It is very powerful!”

Zhao Yunshan and the rest were startled.

It was merely a full moon and he had only taken one look, yet he was able to imitate it?!

Although they knew that he would take some time before he could execute the full moon, he had already taken the lead as he had an easy start!

It was only now, that they know how talented Gao Tianlang was in his swordsmanship!

As for them…

Zhao Yunshan took another look, but could not see anything special.

“This…”

Wu Hongfei squinted. Wasn’t this merely a wheel?!

It must have become curved and due to the Sword Aura. But how were they supposed to join the curve together to form a circle?

He had no idea.

He could not understand as well.

“Let’s try it.”

He entered and hacked at a full moon.

Bang!

The full moon scattered into pieces!

Wu Hongfei finally sensed the aura.

To the rest of them, they could only see the details simply through crossing swords with it. Zhao Yunshan and the rest of them began to study the full moon as well.

Shush!

The full moon kept appearing at the third mountain.

Bang!

Someone shattered it on the spot.

Someone sensed its energy, while some moved along the full moon.

All of them were learning.

All of them were cultivating.

Even if they could not rank first, at the very least they would be able to master this ability.

“It seems that this has nothing to do with us.”

Niu Xinghai and the rest were full of emotions.

This was a Swordsman ability. They had no way to learn it. It was alright to tag along to strengthen one’s willpower and improve one’s physical fitness in the first two rounds. But there was nothing they could gain in this round.

“That’s right.”

The five-star Card Creator believed so. He turned to see that Lu Ming had taken out his Original Card and waited secretly for a long while before he hit one of the full moons.

Shush!

The sealing was complete!

The five-star Card Creator was speechless.

Oh.

That was right.

I am a Card Creator. I can perform sealing!

At the thought of this, he felt somewhat guilty. Why didn’t he think of it?

It was difficult to use the Original Card in the battle. Therefore, he had never considered it. He had indeed forgotten that this was not an actual battle but an assessment!

All the full moons had their own trajectory!

They moved in a single trajectory. Therefore, there was no need for one to adjust the angle. One only had to wait in the same spot with the Original Card!

“Let me give it a try.”

The five-star Card Creator felt energized.

Shush!

He sealed a full moon and sensed it.

——

Energy rating: Two-star.

Movement method: Moon-like Sword Aura.

Energy requirement: Eight hundred points

Energy consumption: Eight hundred points.

——

Oh.

The power and energy were at a one to one ratio.

The five-star Card Creator paused. The full moon seemed to be very powerful, but it was merely an ordinary skill?! He thought that it would at least be a surmounting ability!

Sigh.

He suddenly felt disappointed. He thought that he would be able to have a surmounting ability.

“Ordinary ability…”

Lu Ming was just as disappointed.

It was too weak!

Even if it was not a surmounting ability, it should at least be an advanced ability.

He felt dejected at the low energy consumption and requirement. Lunar Shadow was indeed so stingy that he was beyond hope!

Lu Ming was certain.

The veteran Lunar Shadow must have been the stingiest man among all the veterans!

“What’s special about it is the way it operates.”

Lu Yan suddenly spoke up. “The ability might be ordinary, but it is a very meaningful ability. If you can master Moon-like Sword Aura, it will be very beneficial to your ability.”

“I know.” Lu Ming nodded slightly.

Indeed.

This was a brand new Sword Aura working method. It would have a lot of significance to master it!

However…

It was useless to him!

Forget it.

Lu Ming thought about it.

Who cared!

He could seal it and give it to Xiaobai, telling her that this was the local product that he brought back from the Lunar Shadow legacy. She would be very happy to have it.

…

At the legacy site.

At one of the mountains.

The white-haired old man who looked as if he had kidney problems seemed melancholic.

When the third assessment was activated, he made use of the rules to scan the inheritors, and to sense their cultivation level!

Why was there be a two-star cultivator among them?!

Why was this person an inheritor?

When he designed this assessment, the rules were that he would provide an ability in the legacy according to the lowest cultivation level among the inheritors, so that the inheritors who could not pass would still be able to benefit from it.

There were all kinds of powerful Swordsman abilities here.

However…

It turned out that there was a two-star among them!

Seriously…

It had been a long time since he saw a two-star.

This was because even if there were two-star cultivators, they would have achieved three-star after going through the twelve trials previously. This was what he had designed right from the start.

However…

Nothing changed.

This guy was still a two-star.

Furthermore, he had just achieved two-star.

What had the guy been doing during the twelve trials previously?!

Perhaps he joined the legacy as a one-star?

He found it baffling!

Therefore…

In order to search for an ability that would match the guy’s learning progress, he searched through all the abilities within the legacy and finally found a basic ability!

It was too weak!

As for the rest?

Since this was the rule, they had to comply!

Forget it, they had to blame it on themselves for being unlucky.

The old man was expressionless.
