Chapter 334: Hey! A Ball Was Caught Inside His Mouth!
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master association.
Lu Ming was sitting cross-legged.
In the Sea of Consciousness, a man, a card and a cat slumped weakly on the ground. They seemed to have gone through a tough battle, drained of all energy.
They had won.
It was a fierce fight.
This was the strongest enemy Lu Ming had encountered so far!
A mysterious enemy without a name!
Although he could not tell which level he was at, he could clearly feel that his realm was far beyond him, or even far beyond an ordinary seven-star cultivator!
It was too terrifying!
Something was very strange about this mysterious enemy.
Perhaps he was after Brother Cat?
Wait a minute!
Lu Ming was suddenly reminded of the past. He remembered when Brother Cat first appeared, there was a massacre in the shop on the neighboring street…
Perhaps…
It was the same person?!
“Brother Cat, is that him?”
Lu Ming looked up.
The black cat nodded slightly.
“True enough!”
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
That was right.
It must be him!
Due to that incident, Lu Ming kept a low-profile for some time. He kept very quiet about the appearance of Brother Cat. He did not expect that that person would still be around!
What could he use to fight an enemy like him?
Of course.
The most important thing was, how did the other party manage to find them? If they were not prepared, he might be back again and they would be defenseless!
“I sensed that someone was doing a deduction.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was truthful. “However, the other party was too strong, I was defenseless… and I have no idea what happened afterwards.”
Someone did a deduction…
Lu Ming linked everything together and he seemed to have some idea.
“Brother Cat, did the person detect your aura when you made a move last time?”
The black cat nodded slightly.
True enough…
Lu Ming sighed in his heart.
Brother Cat was discovered when it helped Lu Ming block the deduction.
The enemy…
“Brother Cat.
“In the future, don’t intervene unless it is in a life and death situation,” Lu Ming instructed.
The black cat understood his words.
“As for this person…”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, but did not know what to do.
Seven-star and above! How was he supposed to fight him!?
What was there to do?
All they needed was a thought and the three of them almost died!
“Lu Ming.”
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly spoke up.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming looked at it.
“I’m afraid now is not the time to think about this.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed. It suddenly floated and landed somewhere in the Sea of Consciousness, pointing to the place where the mysterious aura had disappeared. There was a deep imprint!
Buzz—
Faint aura flashed on the imprint.
That was…
The aura that belonged to the powerful cultivator!
“We are being locked in.”
Xiao-Xiaojian’s expression was grave.
“This mark…”
Lu Ming took a look and was stupefied.
Although the letters on the mark were illegible, he could vaguely see a symbol “sa!”. Every stroke exuded ancient might and aura.
The mark…
What did it mean?!
Tracking? Assassination? Some kind of symbol that represented an ability?
“Brother Cat, do you have any idea?”
Lu Ming looked toward the black cat. But it was just as dazed.
Obviously…
It had never seen such a mark.
“This is strange.”
Lu Ming looked serious. He was shocked that Brother Cat had not seen it before.
However…
To his surprise, Xiao-Xiaojian seemed to have some idea.
“This symbol…”
Based on its identity as an ancient sword spirit, as well as its own experience, it managed to decipher the meaning behind the symbol straight away!
“I know what it is.”
Xiao-Xiaojian’s eyes lit up.
“What is it?”
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
“This means kill!”
“It means that the person wants to kill you! This word is a tracking mark as well!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was certain.
Lu Ming took a closer look.
sa! How did it figure out that it represents the word ‘kill’?
“It’s very simple.”
Xiao-Xiaojian analyzed the mark for him.
“Language can be communicated through thoughts…
“What about words?
“They still have to learn them!
“The big shots that have just returned to this world are usually in the initial stage of learning words. Most of them can guess the meaning of words, but learning how to write them…
“It is very difficult!
“Therefore, big shots use phonetic writing to replace them.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very sure of itself.
Lu Ming paused briefly. “The phonetic writing doesn’t sound right…”
“This is normal.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed. “In ancient times, since big shots dominated their own territories and there was no network, they each had their own local accent.”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Therefore, perhaps the big shot that was as powerful as Brother Cat and had left a mark within him, spoke with a local accent?!
Damn!
Of course.
It did not matter whether it was phonetic writing or not.
It was more important to ascertain its effects. From the looks of it, the mark tracked his location. It was not very complicated!
Since that was the case, all they needed to do was to remove it.
Hence…
Lu Ming began to think of ways to remove it.
Afterward…
It seemed that he had been thinking too much.
No matter what method he used, there was no way to remove the mark.
After all, his enemy was a seven-star and above big shot who had gone into his Sea of Consciousness to make a mark. He had no way to send him away and the formidable black cat was helpless as well.
“Now you have a tattoo as well…”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt pleased.
Lu Ming looked at it, suppressing his urge to kill it.
What was the situation they were in like now? Yet, he was still thinking of this?! If the mark could not be removed, all of them would die!
True enough.
Just when Lu Ming had that thought in mind…
Buzz—
The mark suddenly shone.
It seemed like a lighthouse in an endless sea. It sparkled and dazzled and began to transmit a faint aura. The mysterious enemy had begun to lock in on them through the mark!
Damn it!
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat. The mark was about to be activated…
Crash!
A black shadow appeared.
The black cat sat right on top of it.
The aura that began to dissipate disappeared… Not only that, the faint glow on the mark had been totally blocked by its fur!
There was a three hundred and sixty-degree protection with no exception.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
The problem seemed to be solved?
Hence…
After careful consideration, the black cat shifted its nest directly on top of the mark. It blocked the tracking mark with its body!
“Brother Cat is amazing!”
Lu Ming exclaimed inside his heart.
He did not expect that apart from being powerful, Brother Cat’s bottom had such a function…
Shush!
The black cat swept its indifferent gaze over him.
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed and lowered his head.
Damn!
He had forgotten that Brother Cat could hear him … At times, he would have wild thoughts about whatever he saw. He did not harbor any evil intentions
Seriously…
Any ordinary person who saw this scene would be reminded of its bottom… prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom[1.Core socialist values]…
He turned away.
He heard Xiao-Xiaojian reciting the same lines…
The two of them glanced at each other and suddenly smiled.
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
The two of them were left dangling off the wall…
The black cat swept its indifferent gaze over them. Although it could not move too far away from the mark, its tail was able to move freely.
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian hurried to apologize and removed themselves from the wall.
Afterward…
They started a serious discussion about the mark.
Although the black cat had successfully resolved the problem with the enemy’s mark, it was impossible for it to sit forever on it. Besides, the enemy was no fool. He would make his next moves!
If the mark did not work, he would use other methods to track them!
Therefore…
They must be prepared.
To this…
Brother Cat wrote a “seven” on the ground silently.
“Seven-star?!”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
The black cat nodded slightly.
“Did Brother Cat mean that I have to reach seven-star in order to be able to fight him?”
Lu Ming asked.
The black cat shook its head slightly.
“Obviously not.”
Xiao-Xiaojian translated for him. “What Brother Cat means is that the other party has remembered your aura. When you break through to seven-star and the aura increases, he will inevitably be able to find you! By then, there will be no way to run away!”
Lu Ming was silent.
What level was their enemy at?
Why was he so terrifying?
Seven-star…
That was to say, if he proceeded with his usual cultivation and he reached seven-star, he would be hunted down by the big shot? Although he had no idea which level the big shot was at…
But he had to reach seven-star for the enemy to start chasing him down!
He was not Jiang Feng!
In that case, once he reached seven-star, he might die!
Unless…
He was stronger than others on the same level!
He was a four-star now and he could challenge a six-star. Although he had to use special means and his trump cards could barely defeat them, it was still considered as defeating a six-star!
Well…
He could challenge two levels higher!
If he maintained this ability of combating two levels higher, by the time he was a seven-star, he might be able to challenge the big shot!
They would see who was stronger between the both of them!
As one progressed, the difference between the levels became bigger!
It was okay, as long as one had a strong foundation, they would become stronger when they broke through to seven-star!
“I will become stronger!”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
The black cat felt gratified.
Very good. He was indeed heaven’s pride.
This might be a bad thing, but something good could come out of it.
Lu Ming was a good person in all aspects except that he was too lazy! Now that this had happened, it spurred him to become more hardworking. This was a good thing. They were more diligent now.
It revealed an auntie-like smile.
However…
At this moment.
Xiao-Xiaojian cast them an odd glance. “Why did you think so highly of yourself? In fact, I feel that there is no need to think too much. Given Lu Ming’s talent, he might not reach seven-star in this life.”
Shush!
There was a sudden silence in the Sea of Consciousness.
Afterward…
Lu Ming and the black cat looked toward Xiao-Xiaojian.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
After a long while…
A huge battle ensued.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
The Original Card glowed rampantly as it was beaten up by a man and a cat.
…
“Stop!
“I was well-intentioned!”
Xiao-Xiaojian continued to glow rampantly. “I’m just trying to help you!”
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming sneered. “Did you manage to come up with any solutions?”
“Yes, I did!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was excited. “Look, since you can’t hide your aura when you are a seven-star, and you will be targeted by the big shot, all you need to do is not to break through to seven-star!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
It seemed very logical.
The black cat was silent.
The solution was not to break through to seven-star?
And to idle around, not doing anything?
Was that its solution?
The most important thing was Lu Ming seemed to be considering this solution.
This was shocking!
What was with the two of them?!
If they did not work hard, did that mean that the black cat had to spend the rest of its life sitting on top of the mark?!
Occasionally…
It would occasionally burn its bottom!
Hence…
Crash!
A black shadow flashed and there was a loud sound.
Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian were dangling off the wall once again. They spent a long time getting themselves down from the wall…
The black cat glared at the two lazy bums, like a tiger watching its prey.
They were silent.
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed. “Brother Cat, what Xiao-Xiaojian said made sense. But I am not saying that I won’t break through to seven-star. It is just that I won’t break through even when I am capable of doing that!”
“Yes!”
Xiao-Xiaojian nodded fervently.
Their idea was very simple. Since they were talking about seven-star…
If one level higher was not enough, then they would go two levels higher!
If two levels higher was not enough, then they would go three levels higher!
If three levels higher was not enough, then they would go four levels higher!
Just like what Xiao-Xiaojian had said, even if he could not break through to a four-star, at most he would be a three-star that could challenge a seven-star! Right now, he was able to reach six-star in the future, he had nothing to be fearful of!
To Lu Ming, his combat abilities were far beyond the level that he was at!
If…
If a six-star Lu Ming was able to defeat a seven-star in the future, by the time he was a seven-star, it was likely that he could defeat the big shot!
This plan was feasible!
The black cat cast a doubtful glance at the two lazy bums.
Was this really what was on their mind?
The two lazy bums seemed to be thinking of skiving…
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaojian glowed rampantly to prove its innocence.
The black cat tried hard to sense what was on their minds. It finally felt at ease when it ascertained that they were indeed seriously thinking about the issue.
Although…
They would recite ‘prosperity, democracy’ and etc in their minds as well.
Well…
Hence…
The man, the sword and the cat finally reached an agreement. The goal was to become the strongest six-star who was capable of challenging a seven-star!
At that point, the ‘mysterious man’ incident was temporarily resolved. But the saddest thing was the Breeze Pavilion legacy was gone…
Lu Ming’s heart ached.
This was the only gift he had received from the Restart Array!!!
But it was gone!
“It’s alright.”
Xiao-Xiaojian consoled him. “You should look at the brighter side of things. Without this thing, we would have been dead already.”
“This was a thousand-year-old legacy…”
Lu Ming still felt sad about the loss.
However…
At this moment.
The black cat lifted its paw and lightly slapped the Sea of Consciousness.
Buzz—
A faint energy condensed.
That was the aura of the Breeze Pavilion. It appeared from all over the Sea of Consciousness.
“This is…”
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
That was right!
He then remembered.
Although the Breeze Pavilion legacy exploded in the mysterious person’s mouth, since his body burst open due to the force of the legacy, its aura spread all over the Sea of Consciousness!
One did not allow benefits created by one’s own work to go to others. The aura was not lost!
Buzz—
Lights and shadows condensed.
The aura of the legacy began to appear.
“Meow!”
The black cat purred softly.
“Uh— Are you alright?”
Xiao-Xiaojian translated. “Brother Cat is saying that although most of the legacy aura has disappeared, the core of it was not destroyed!
“Are you ready to accept the legacy?”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked serious.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
The legacy… was still around?
He had waited a long time for this moment!
“Give it to me!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
The black cat smiled, feeling gratified.
Hence…
It condensed the legacy aura that was in the Sea of Consciousness, forming a small ball of light. It swung its front paws and…
The ball was inside Lu Ming’s mouth.
Damn!
When did Brother Cat take a liking to this?!
…
