Chapter 131: Incredible Chase!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“These guys…”

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

“Do you have Escape Cards?”

Lu Yan was curious.

When one was out on the road, it was vital to keep oneself alive.

Stay alive…

It was more important than anything else.

She had the same sentiments as Lunar Shadow.

“No.”

Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

He had a trump card.

But there were Battle Cards that would cause an uproar!

For example—

Xiaobai’s Swordsman Card!

Because of this, he did not think about preparing any Escape Cards.

He was at fault. In the past, he had been idling in Qing Ming City and therefore he had never thought about this. Now that he looked at the tenacious survival abilities of the assistants…

Escape Card…

It seemed that he needed to prepare one of those.

After all, what if he ran across stronger cultivators?

He could not always rely on Brother Cat.

Well…

Lu Ming looked at the Sea of Consciousness.

The black cat had gone to sleep lazily.

Although Lu Ming knew that it had just been charged with energy and should be able to release the World of Darkness and Shadows once, he knew that the black cat would not easily do that.

This was after all an assessment.

And…

Although it was sleeping soundly, its tail kept flinging around, as if it was waiting for something.

True enough.

The cat’s tail and its body were two separate creatures!

Cough…

He had better not go there.

“I’ve experienced something like this before.”

Lu Yan suddenly spoke up, “We were being chased by a vicious creature and everyone was running for their lives. However, that was not an assessment but reality.

When a lot of people were running for their lives, they would launch an attack as well, and the cultivators nearby would be injured. When the cultivators were injured, they would slow down… and the creature would eat them. All this took time… and they had the chance to take a breather… This was what really happened!”

Lu Yan’s voice floated to his ears.

This was what she wanted her brother to know.

What was real?

This assessment was special. Not only because of the Lunar Shadow legacy itself, but also there were many students from The First Academy and they activated it in the school!

Since that was the case, no one dared to mess around!

Zhao Yunshan could go out to compete, but no one would dare to kill the other inheritors.

No one!

Especially—

When Lu Yan was around!

Therefore…

The legacy was still pretty harmonious!

However, Lu Yan did not want her brother to have the feeling that all competitions were as simple. Otherwise, what would happen if he encountered danger outside and no one was able to save him?!

She did not want her brother to be too simple!

Of course.

If she knew that her brother whom she believed to be simple was behind the collapse of the mine, burying his enemies alive, and that he demolished the old town of Qing Ming City as well as destroyed a cemetery, how would she feel?

“I understand.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

He understood what Lu Yan was teaching him.

These…

Were the rules of survival!

“It’s good that you understand.”

Lu Yan nodded slightly.

So far, she was very satisfied with her brother’s performance. In fact, he was even better than she expected. If he could maintain this standard, in the future he would definitely be a strong…

Card Creator?

“Let’s go!”

Lu Yan gave a soft yell.

Since both of them had to join hands in this assessment and the rest of them had already shown their cards, she would no longer refrain from using her abilities.

Swoosh!

The sword gleam flashed.

She went far away with her brother.

Bang!

The earth trembled.

The gigantic boulder man took one step and began his chase on the sixth mountain.

The ground trembled with every step that he took!

“It has begun!”

Everyone grew solemn.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Lu Yan brought Lu Ming with her and they overtook the four-star pair.

Right then, the gigantic boulder man jumped and covered hundreds of meters in one leap and was in front of the four-star pair!

Bang!

The earth shook.

The gigantic boulder man landed onto the ground suddenly.

Everyone was terrified.

How could this gigantic boulder man be so flexible?!

Run! Run! Run!

Everyone escaped madly without any hesitation.

Now that the gigantic boulder man stayed put. Everyone did their best to disappear from the gigantic boulder man’s sight in order to not to be seen!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

They fled hurriedly.

At this very moment…

The gigantic boulder man turned to confront the two four-star cultivators.

Swoosh!

The four-star Swordsmen launched into an attack.

“Too weak!”

The gigantic boulder man’s cold voice sounded, instantly drowning their attacks. It slapped its right palm toward them and there was a monstrous loud bang.

Bang!

It launched a terrifying attack on them.

The earth trembled.

Buzz—

The Lunar Shadow Card appeared at that moment, blocking the gigantic boulder man’s attack. The Lunar Shadow Card glowed and there was a clear figure on the card.

Fifty!

Shush!

As the Lunar Shadow Card shone brightly, the figure dropped suddenly.

Buzz—

Buzz—

The energy dissipated.

The bright radiance rushed into their bodies.

Lu Ming who was nearest to them noticed that the energy of the pair was increased by a small margin due to the radiance of the Lunar Shadow!

Very soon…

Fifty dropped down to zero!

Shush!

The Lunar Shadow barrier was broken.

They could no longer resist the gigantic boulder man’s attack and they turned into lights and disappeared.

Eliminated!

Roar—

The gigantic boulder man howled.

It turned around, its target was the second last team, which was Lu Ming’s team.

Eh?

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

Due to the close proximity, he had seen a lot of interesting details just now.

For example—

He looked at his Lunar Shadow Card and there was a new figure on it—sixty-two!

Sixty-two seconds had passed since the appearance of the gigantic boulder man. The number on the Lunar Shadow Card was the duration. If one lasted for a longer time, the number would be higher!

Eventually…

When one fought with the gigantic boulder man, this data would then temper the energy!

It was incredible!

Therefore…

The old rules applied.

The person who lasted the longest would have a greater boost in energy!?

Lu Ming understood now.

However…

This was only the basics!

As a programmer, he was extremely good at studying bugs and tracing the source. After all, if one could not find the source of the problem, one would be trapped in a series of garbage characters…

Therefore…

It was easy.

Could the Lunar Shadow Card really release energy?

No!

They had studied it many times. As one of the Legacy Card, Lunar Shadow Card could only mark and imprint. It could only trigger the real power within the legacy when all the seven Lunar Shadow Cards were put together!

Since that was the case, where did the tempering energy come from?!

Obviously…

It was from the gigantic boulder man!

Which meant…

Although it seemed that in this assessment, one must bring the Lunar Shadow Card with them and persist for as long as possible with the gigantic boulder man in pursuit in the background, and the longer one persisted, the larger the amount of energy stored in the Lunar Shadow Card and one would have a greater increase in energy. However, Lunar Shadow Card was only a mark, the real energy was provided by the gigantic boulder man!

The thunderous slap made by the gigantic boulder man signified elimination and final calculation! He was the source of the conclusion and reward mechanism of this assessment!

After all…

He had the energy of the entire sixth mountain!

Understood!

Lu Ming had a clear understanding of the situation.

Assessment…

He scanned through this assessment content and its final reward—energy tempering! This was something that he did not get to enjoy in the previous round!

In the previous round…

Although the lightning was full of energy, almost all the energy had been absorbed by the black cat. He only managed to temper the Original Card, his energy did not increase!

Right now…

He was tempted.

Energy tempering was the basic requirement to increase to the three-star level!

A three-star would have an energy level of ten thousand points. If he wanted to increase his energy level, he had to change its quality and keep compressing and tempering it in order to achieve the ultimate level!

This was the reason why many people were stuck at three-star!

This was the first bottleneck that cultivators would face.

They were unable to complete the tempering process!

They could not comprehend concretion!

It was difficult to achieve energy tempering.

Gao Xiaoqing was stuck at a three-star peak for a long time before she broke through under the bombardment of the lightning and thunder. What about him?

Although he ranked first in many assessments, Lu Ming was very clear about one thing—he was not a genius. Otherwise, Little Lu Ming would not have been stuck for so long!

Energy was the foundation!

If he cultivated by himself, it was not a problem to reach a three-star peak, all he needed to do was to earn money…

But if he wanted to go further up?!

Was it possible for him to temper and improve to three-star ultimate?

After he tempered to the ultimate level, would he really be able to comprehend concretion?

He had no idea!

He really had no idea!

But right now, he had a very good opportunity!

Although his energy was only more than two thousand points and he was still a two-star, he could temper the two thousand points to the ultimate level!

In that case, it would be easier when he broke through to four-star!

This was a great opportunity!

This was a real blessing!

At this moment…

To Lu Ming, the gigantic boulder man that was the incarnation of the sixth mountain was like Gao Xiaoqing who exuded an herbal fragrance in the flames!

It was so charming!

“Sister, stop for a while.”

Lu Ming suddenly stopped his sister.

Lu Yan felt puzzled, but she still halted.

At this moment…

Lunar Shadow Card time: Seventy-two.

Bang!

Bang!

The powerful gigantic boulder man had caught up with them. Lu Yan was ready to take her brother away anytime.

“Hello.”

Lu Ming’s voice was low.

He heard the gigantic boulder man talking just now. Therefore, he knew that this guy possessed logical thinking and Lunar Shadow must have designed for this guy to have a consciousness.

“You… are too slow!”

The gigantic boulder man’s voice was deep, sounding like the thunder roar.

“I know.”

Lu Ming broke into a grin. “Therefore, I don’t intend to run. I am thinking since you are able to think logically, why don’t you give me all the rewards?”

“That energy… Those rewards… Why don’t you give them all to me?”

Lu Ming smiled and looked at him.

The gigantic boulder man looked at Lu Ming as if he was a tiny ant. No one dared to speak to him in this manner.

Stupid!

It was ridiculous!

“You! Are eliminated!” The gigantic boulder man roared in anger.

“Do you wanna know something?”

Lu Ming smiled. “When I was on the fourth mountain, I said the same words. But it didn’t seem to understand, therefore I demolished it.”

“As for you… You are very interesting. Your body, your structure, and your materials are the same as the fourth mountain… Oh. Since you are so tall, you should be able to check. Perhaps you can turn back to check?”

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

The sixth mountain turned back to check, its gaze resting on the fourth mountain that was in the far distance. It froze in the spot. The fourth mountain was scattered and smashed!

He felt it then.

Over there…

There seemed to be a strange force looming in the air!

“Isn’t it incredible?”

A Demolition Card appeared in Lu Ming’s hands.

“To be honest… I’m curious.”

Lu Ming smiled as he looked at the gigantic boulder man that was so tall he could not really see its head. “When I use this card, will the tremors be able to pass through your legs to your body and shatter you?

After all… Your body is the same as the mountains, no?

Therefore…

Now the choice is yours. You can either give me the rewards…

Or…

Lu Ming rotated the Demolition Card in his hands. “I will try out an interesting experiment.”

Bang!

The gigantic boulder man roared in anger.

How dare he threaten him!

This damn guy was threatening him!

Many batches of people came here to get the legacy and everyone fled from his attacks and ran for their lives!

But this guy was daring enough to threaten him?!

“Human beings… You… are courting death…”

The gigantic boulder man bellowed.

“Is that so?”

Lu Ming took out some Demolition Cards. “It seems that the negotiations have ended.”

In the mountain range…

The atmosphere became tense.

Lu Yan was silent.

The sight in front of her was unlike what she had imagined.

Could someone pass Lunar Shadow’s assessment in this manner?

…

At this moment…

Zhao Yunshan and the rest had dashed to the furthest possible place.

Zhao Yunshan was first in place!

Followed by Gao Tianlang!

Everyone followed right after them.

This was an assessment of speed, testing the combined skills of the assistant and the Swordsman. Both had to be powerful to be able to have the best effect!

For example…

Zhao Yunshan and Niu Xinghai!

Both of them were five-star, they complemented each other and were naturally very fast.

For example…

Gao Xiaoqing who had just broken through and Gao Tianlang!

Due to the herbal effect in her body, as well as the fact that she had broken through to four-star, Gao Xiaoqing was just as fast as a five-star array master. That was why the siblings managed to come in second place!

As for Wang Xuan, he and his companion fell behind the pack.

Despite having a six-star Elementalist with him, he was not as fast!

The Elementalist did not expect that the assessment at the sixth mountain of the Lunar Shadow legacy would be about speed and survival!

“I don’t think Lu Ming will be able to catch up.”

Zhao Yunshan felt proud of himself.

This time around, he would not be able to catch up even with his sister’s help!

This was about speed!

One would need true abilities to achieve that!

This round… should be peaceful, right?

Without Lu Ming to mess around, they could have a good competition now!

After a long time…

Bang!

Bang!

The gigantic boulder man appeared. They did not see Lu Ming, which meant…

“He is eliminated!”

“Haha, we are finally rid of him.”

“We shall see who ranks first!”

Zhao Yunshan was in high spirits.

Without Lu Ming around, he was the highlight of the assessment!

“Hehe.”

Gao Tianlang was indignant as well.

However…

To their surprise, when the gigantic boulder man ran near Wang Xuan, it did not attack him but ran past him toward the front!

Eh?

Zhao Yunshan and the rest were shocked.

What was happening?!

Shouldn’t the slowest be eliminated before it continued to attack the next slowest?!

This assessment…

Bang!

The gigantic boulder man had caught up with Wu Hongfei once again.

Wu Hongfei was alarmed, but the gigantic boulder man ran past him instead of attacking him.

Eh?

Wu Hongfei was dumbstruck.

This…

What was happening?!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The gigantic boulder man ran at lightning speed.

It seemed to be even more ferocious and aggressive than before. It seemed to have hit its maximum speed, running past Wu Hongfei, Gao Tianlang, and even…

Running past Zhao Yunshan!

He ran to the forefront!!!

Wait a minute.

Everyone stopped.

They looked incredulous at the gigantic boulder man in front of them.

This was not right!

The gigantic boulder man was supposed to be chasing them.

Why did it run to the furthest front?

No hunter would run to the far front when chasing people down?!

Was there something wrong?

Right then, a voice sounded from the sky, They turned back to see two familiar figures breaking through the clouds, passing them…

And chasing after the gigantic boulder man.

They could vaguely hear Lu Ming’s familiar voice—”There’s nowhere you can run!”

What was happening?

They were dumbstruck and they took a long time to come to their senses.

Wait a minute.

These two were chasing after the gigantic boulder man??!

Damn, are you kidding me!
