Chapter 333: You Were That Elegant in the Past…

Tian Du City.

In front of the empty and spacious foundations.

Lu Ming and the group eventually obtained the right to participate in the on-campus job fair. He had wounded the dignified president of an association that badly. What else could they say?

Although they won the challenge for the eligibility to participate in the on-campus job fair, there were some minor problems.

For example—

The building could not be reverted to its original state.

Cough.

It really could not be reverted to its original state.

The effect of the Mover Card… was random.

To date, Lu Ming had not found a way to control it. If one were to get him to cast it again, the building would most probably be moved to another location.

“You really don’t have a solution?”

The staff member’s face darkened.

“I don’t.”

Lu Ming felt guilty.

The man’s face turned pale.

H-how was he going to explain this?! What would he do when the higher-ups asked about the building? Was he going to tell them that it was gone or ran off on its own? Believe it or not, he would be beaten to death!

“I will do it.”

Zhao Yunshan pondered for a moment. “I can engage a large number of Earth Elementalists and a group of structural stability architects. We should be able to move the building back to its original spot.

“Or perhaps…

“I can get my dad to reconstruct one for you guys?”

The staff member’s face darkened. “What do you mean?”

Are you humiliating us?

Is being rich that great?!

“Nothing.”

Zhao Yunshan explained, “I’m just trying to help…”

“Can you build one a few levels higher?” the employee suddenly asked.

Zhao Yunshan fell silent for a moment. “I suppose so?”

The man waved his hands. “Anyway, I have to report this to the higher-ups first.”

He made a call and realized that it was not getting through. Afterward…

He began to search madly for the building.

The higher-ups are still inside the building. I need to find them before I can report this!

However…

The most shocking thing happened. He searched for a long time but did not catch any sight of the building! He had no choice. Tian Du City was too huge!

If this building were to appear in a certain area full of high-rise buildings, it would be blocked and he would not be able to see it!

In the end…

The HR representative had no alternative but to post a search notice.

Hence local news reported on a strange and mysterious missing ‘persons’ notice.

——Missing Building Notice——

The Human Resources Department building; 105.2 meters tall; occupies 5208 square meters; pale blue in color; slightly dilapidated; twelve years since its construction date. Due to unique circumstances, it disappeared at two o’clock in the afternoon. When it disappeared, the building did not bring along its basement car park.

Anyone who knows something about this, please contact the telephone number below. There will be a huge reward.

…

The netizens were speechless.

The people of Tian Du City were speechless.

Everyone was shocked.

This was the first time that they saw such a missing ‘person’ notice in their life!

Whether this piece of news was a joke or not, people looked outside curiously. Soon, they found the missing Human Resources Department building.

Of course.

In fact, they were not the only ones looking for the building. According to sources, the people who were working in the Human Resources Department building went berserk at the end of their work day. They had thought that they had transmigrated.

…

“News report…

“The Human Resources Department building has been moved. The reason is unknown.

“According to reliable resources, the Human Resources Department submitted a request to change their location but it was rejected. It is suspected that the Human Resources Department moved against the directives…

“The Human Resources Department may face a fine of one million yuan…

“—This information is brought to you by Tian Du City Express.”

…

The people from Tian Du City were delighted to hear and watch this.

Tsk tsk.

Look, organizations nowadays are super amazing!

Even buildings can run away from home!

Don’t you have to take your hat off them?

The Internet, news and everyone were happily discussing this matter over a meal or tea. It was only until a certain celebrity cultivator became a hot trending topic that people’s attention was diverted.

The situation then came to a close.

The dean of The First Academy kept having a strange feeling when he saw this news.

In his mind…

This had happened before in Qing Ming City?

That was right!

A skyscraper had once run away at lighting speed in Qing Ming City!

Was this a coincidence?

Or…

“It should be a coincidence.”

The dean pondered about it in detail. He had some understanding of what had happened in Qing Ming City. That was a python spirit body and did not have anything to do with Lu Ming.

Well…

It should be a coincidence.

“Tian Du City has not been very peaceful recently.”

The dean heaved continuous sighs.

…

In the end.

The association had to bear the responsibility for the disappearance of the building.

After a friendly discussion between the Human Resources Department and the Sword Card Master Association, the latter eventually paid them five hundred thousand yuan for ‘illegal relocation’ and settled the case.

As for the reason…

According to sources, the staff members of the human resource department were more satisfied with the new location.

Zhao Yunshan was astonished.

He had thought that he would waste some money by constructing a new building. Unexpectedly, this was resolved with a bit of pocket money.

“They found a group of structural stability architects,” Li Haoran went on to say.

At this moment.

The issue of registration had been completely resolved. The Human Resources Department began to make arrangements for the event and there was not much left for the Sword Card Master Association to do. Life returned to normalcy again.

…

At this very moment…

The First Academy.

The Human Resources Department had already begun to liaise with them for the on-campus job fair.

Afterward…

The assistant of a certain dean saw a familiar name on the namelist of the on-campus job fair. This was a name that the dean had seen many times – Sword Card Master Association!

The assistant looked dumbstruck.

Why would the Sword Card Master Association be involved in the graduation season of The First Academy?

Aren’t they supposed to be in Qing Ming City?

Wait a minute…

Their most powerful member is merely a four-star?!

Why are they joining?

This…

Is this a problem?

The assistant was in a daze for a long time. He eventually passed the list to the dean.

The dean took a glance at it and fell silent instantly.

Lu Ming…

Sword Card Master association…

The Human Resources Department building that disappeared…

If he were to piece these few pieces of information together, what before was a coincidence turned into a horrifying thought. After pondering deeply for a moment, he called the Human Resources Department.

“Old Zhang, has your namelist been finalized?

“There is no problem? Are you sure?

“Old Zhang, the both of us were classmates for decades…

“Yes.

“If you have been threatened, just blink your eyes. I’ll come and save you.

“No one is threatening you?

“Old Zhang…

“The disappearance of the building is not a big deal. If that building is gone, The First Academy will help you. You don’t need to worry…

“What? No one is threatening you?”

The dean hung up the phone regretfully.

Old Zhang was getting more and more cowardly.

The assistant looked dumbstruck.

He looked at the dean’s demeanor and could not really figure it out. In his mind, this matter did not have anything to do with Lu Ming. Even if it was because of Lu Ming, there would not be that much of an impact.

They were merely there for the bargain?

They had done that for many years. There was nothing to worry about.

Furthermore, how many ‘treasures’ could a four-star Sword Card Master Association pick up?

To this…

The dean merely laughed. He then contacted the Starry Sky Pavilion. Although the Starry Sky Pavilion was in dire straits at the moment, he was very confident of the abilities of his long-time friend.

Besides…

He did not know why…

Since Lu Ming had come to the city, he would panic intensely whenever he saw the words ‘Sword Card Master Association’…

Delusion?

Was it really a delusion?

He could not be bothered anymore.

This time, he had to seek a proper deduction.

…

At this very moment…

Starry Sky Pavilion.

After being out of business for a long time, this was the first deal that they received.

This was despite the fact that it was free-of-charge.

Hence…

Everyone, led by the pavilion master, began to deduce Lu Ming!

One should get up at the spot where one falls. To ensure the success of this deduction operation, almost all the disciples of the Starry Sky Pavilion went all out.

In the pavilion.

Under the leadership of the vice pavilion master, dozens of disciples were sitting cross-legged.

They were sitting side by side, in neat rows. A small wooden table was before them. On it was their deduction equipment. There was also a small ceramic bowl.

Inside the ceramic bowl.

It was a little blue pill.

“Let the deductions begin!”

The pavilion master had an austere expression.

Shush!

The disciples lifted the small bowl simultaneously and swallowed the little blue pill.

Bam!

Bam!

The disciples threw the ceramic bowls away with might.

The deductions began!

Buzz—

A surge of invisible force formed a mysterious deduction world and charged towards the person called Lu Ming. The powers of the Starry Sky Pavilion had been unleashed to the maximum!

It was extremely powerful!

The terrifying deduction powers were akin to a moving dragon. Those messy pop-up advertisements and built-in advertisements could no longer disrupt them!

Buzz—

The deductions accurately located Lu Ming.

Afterward…

Deductions began!

He led a simple and peaceful life. Afterward, he came to Qing Ming City and met…

Suddenly…

The lights and shadows of the deduction world disappeared and they fell into darkness instantly.

“What is happening?”

Before the disciples could figure it out, they felt a terrifying force sweeping across them. Everyone was severely wounded. The deduction world that they had painstaking constructed collapsed at that instant.

Pfft!

Everyone spewed out blood.

“What was that earlier…”

Fear and horror emerged on the face of the pavilion master.

Vaguely.

He seemed to have seen a trace of a black shadow. If he did not guess it wrong…

“Let’s call this off.

“Remember, from today onwards, don’t accept any orders for Lu Ming!

“This man…

“We can’t afford to provoke him.”

…

At this very moment…

On the endless ocean.

A thin and frail figure had just attacked and killed a deep-sea gigantic beast. His seemingly weak and feeble figure dragged the enormous beast across the surface of the ocean

Bang!

Bang!

Ocean waters engulfed the carcass.

With the movement of the gigantic deep-sea beast, the tide moved like a tsunami!

At the forefront.

A figure merely dragged the beast by its whiskers and walked on the ocean calmly. A cultivator who was passing by fled frantically at the sight of the uncanny scene.

After a long while…

The thin and frail figure paused for a moment.

“Eh?”

He suddenly looked towards the shore. Many wheels seemed to be spinning in his eyes. Vaguely, he seemed to recognize a familiar force.

“Interesting.

“You’re still alive?

“Ah…”

A smile flashed across his eyes. “If that’s the case, I have not fought for nothing.”

Shush!

He grabbed the void. A mysterious and intriguing object was drawn to him. His hand streaked across the sky and he seemed to take control of the world in that instant.

“Let me see…

“Where are you?”

Bang!

The ocean trembled.

The gigantic deep-sea beast actually disappeared with this force.

…

At this very moment…

Tian Du City.

At the Sword Card Master association.

Lu Ming, who was in the midst of cultivating, suddenly felt a gush of terrifying powers. They swept across his body coldly as if a blade was scraping his bones.

It was sinister, chilling, horrifying, and eerie.

“Who is that?”

Lu Ming’s entire body was freezing.

Damn it!

What level of attack was that?

However…

Before he could retaliate, he was drowned in that gush of powers…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Xiao-Xiaojian instantly felt that something was amiss. It instantly unleashed its powers. However, it was completely subdued in an instant. The mental strength was too powerful and could not be resisted!

Bang!

A chilling thought was scanning their environment.

It did not attack Lu Ming. It merely occupied Lu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness and eventually focused on a certain spot.

“True enough, you’re still alive…”

The mental strength gradually materialized in the Sea of Consciousness.

Shush!

The black cat suddenly opened its eyes.

Its gaze was cold and chilling.

“Brother Cat knows this person?”

Lu Ming appeared in his Sea of Consciousness with fear and trepidation.

He never expected that, besides the black cat, someone else could actually enter his body one day… Damn. Who could endure this?!

Oh.

That was not true.

Xiao-Xiaojian also went inside his Sea of Consciousness before…

Hence…

At that moment, Lu Ming felt indescribable chills and disgust.

Forget it.

Was he overthinking?

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

He sobered up and felt that he should settle the matter on hand. Especially when he saw the soft and smooth hairs on the black cat gradually stand up…

Oh.

Brother Cat was infuriated. Judging from this, this was its enemy.

“You’re still like this…”

The thin and frail figure sighed.

Just as he wanted to say something, Lu Ming threw a Sword Embryo at his face and the Sword Embryo self-destructed.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The thin and frail figure was safe and sound.

His face darkened a little and he swept a cold and aloof gaze across Lu Ming. He then looked at the black cat again. “You’re still as…”

Crash!

Lu Ming raised his hand.

Another dagger slammed at his face and self-destructed.

Bang!

There was another deafening sound.

The thin and frail figure swept his gaze across Lu Ming with an ugly expression. The body was formed out of his mental strength and he did not want to waste his time on such an ant.

What was his status?

It was ridiculous!

Hence…

He ignored Lu Ming and glanced at the black cat again.

“You’re still that…”

Crash!

An Original Card was thrown at him and it self-destructed.

“You’re still that…”

Crash!

A crystal nucleus was thrown at him and it detonated!

The thin and frail figure flew into a rage instantly.

“Scoundrel!

“You’re merely a…”

His furious thoughts locked onto Lu Ming. At that very moment, the black cat moved!

“Meow!”

There was a loud shriek. The black cat had long geared up and it attacked instantly.

The entire Sea of Consciousness retaliated under the control of the black cat. Terrifying thoughts engulfed the man. Xiao-Xiaojian had also dashed over from reality!

Swoosh!

Cold lights flashed!

At the same time, there was also a huge pile of vocation cores that Lu Ming had accumulated over time!

Bang!

All the vocation cores erupted at this moment!

It was a three-pronged attack!

Before the newly-formed figure could come to his senses, he was beaten. Before he was able to utter a word, he had been torn apart by the black cat’s thoughts!

The thin and frail figure was speechless.

Damn! What the hell is this place?!

Damn! What kind of host is this?!

…

“We won.”

Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

After assessing that this was an enemy, he and the black cat had communicated telepathically and taken action. After all, this was the Sea of Consciousness. He believed that Brother Cat would not give up on this opportunity.

It was just that…

Buzz—

The figure was still drifting in the Sea of Consciousness after being hit.

It had not been destroyed!

It was not dissipating!

“This…”

Unknowingly, Lu Ming felt that something was amiss.

True enough.

Soon after.

The figure actually condensed again.

Although the aura was weaker this time, it was still very powerful.

“You guys…”

His cold and chilling gaze scanned Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian. Just as he wanted to strike, he saw Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian disappearing from the Sea of Consciousness.

The thin and frail figure was speechless.

His expression was somewhat ugly.

However, forget it…

It was not important.

His gaze turned towards the black cat.

It’s enough that you’re still alive.

“You actually recovered that quickly…”

His tone carried some doubts. Seemingly, he could not figure it out but he was happy very soon. “It’s good that you’re recovering quickly. After all, you will belong to me.”

The black cat cast a cold and aloof gaze at him.

Its murderous intentions were obvious.

…

At this very moment…

In reality.

Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian were watching this battle.

They left not because they wanted to escape. It was just that outside, they could better discuss their strategy to deal with the enemy that suddenly appeared!

“Our opponent this time is too powerful.

“Brother Cat has not recovered. It may not be able to beat him…”

Lu Ming analyzed.

Xiao-Xiaojian thought so too.

His mental strength was too horrifying. It almost lost control of itself with a mere glance.

Such a level…

It was even more terrifying than the ancient powerful figures that it had encountered before!

“What should we do then?”

“It’s not that there isn’t a way but we need Brother Cat’s cooperation…”

“It’s inside.”

“That’s no problem. You just have to transmit your thoughts, it will be able to hear you.”

“Okay.”

…

In the Sea of Consciousness.

A huge fight was about to break out.

“Be good.

“You don’t need to be that grumpy.

“You think that it’s very safe to remain here but I’m very sorry. When I destroy this Sea of Consciousness, you’re bound to be exposed in real life…”

He said coldly, “Therefore, why do you have to do this?”

His tone was very cold but gentle.

If it was possible, he hoped that he would resolve this fight in an amicable manner.

However…

At this moment.

Shush!

There was turbulence in the Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian’s figures appeared again.

“Demon!

“Take my blow!”

Lu Ming hollered.

Bang!

He led Xiao-Xiaojian and attacked again.

“You are courting death!”

The thin and frail figure had an obvious murderous intent.

Scoundrels!

Did you guys really think that you would become unbeatable after you returned to reality?

This is your Sea of Consciousness!

Since this is the case…

I will let you know what it means to be better off dead than alive!

He could kill Lu Ming with a thought. However, just at this moment, he felt a black shadow flash across his eyes as something was stuffed into his mouth…

The thin and frail figure looked confused.

He took a closer look. There was a legacy ball of light the size of a light bulb inside his mouth!

“Oo… Oo… Damn…”

He furiously tried to speak but stammered.

This damned legacy ball of light was also a seven-star! It was impossible for him to destroy it! He wanted to take it out but did not find a way.

“Brother, have you swallowed a light bulb before?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

The black cat had a serious look on its face but there was a slight curl at the corners of its mouth. The whiskers permed into instant noodles by Lu Ming actually revealed were slightly sexy.

“Meow!”

It meowed softly.

The legacy light ball shone brightly!

Dazzling radiance spread throughout the entire Sea of Consciousness. The legacy ball increased in size and the mouth of the thin and frail figure was expanded twice!

Afterward…

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The legacy light ball suddenly exploded!

The thin and frail figure was speechless.

This damned Sea of Consciousness can contain all kinds of garbage?!

Furthermore…

Why…

Why did my mouth explode?!

To hell with it.

This is not proper combat!

You were much more elegant in the past…

He very much wanted to say something.

It was a pity…

Horrifying energy engulfed his Sea of Consciousness. The energy contained in that ball of light was too terrifying. He could not survive it with such little mental strength.

After a long while…

When he woke up, he still looked very dazed.

What the hell had he gone through just now?
