Panda Novel

Qing Ming City.

It was announced that the preliminary rounds of the School Championship Competition had ended.

When the name list was announced, it caused a huge uproar on the Internet. Among the top hundred major schools, there was an unusual name — Crossroad Vocational Technical College!

“What school is this?”

“Did they type the wrong name?”

“What is a technical college?”

Everyone was full of curiosity.

They had never heard of a technical college entering the top hundred.

They searched the information of the team that participated in this competition and felt even more stunned. This was because all the participants on the list were two-star cultivators!

Right.

Five two-star cultivators!

“How did they get into the top hundred!”

“Good luck? Their opponents happened to be weaker than them?”

“But two-star! From the fourth round onwards, there will be many three-stars, alright?”

Everyone was surprised.

They even doubted for a moment whether the School Championship Competition was fake. After all, Lu Ming was too good-looking. At one glance, it looked like a deliberate marketing gimmick.

They had seen many of those.

However…

When they personally saw a repeat broadcast of the competition, they then realized that two-star cultivators could be that powerful…

They could actually confront four-star ones head-on?!

This was crazy!

“It turns out that looks are not the only thing that he has.”

“I heard that the exploding effect of something called Sword Plunge threw everyone out of the arena.”

“Brilliant.”

People were thrilled.

Of course.

There were very few discussions about Lu Ming.

After all, people were mainly concerned with the top few names. It was one of those super strong colleges that subdued everyone else. For example, The First Academy!

Five-stars were present in these colleges!

These were also combats involving five-star cultivators that they seldom got to see!

This was their focus point!

At this very moment…

Somewhere.

Wang Tianjun was reading on the web the discussions about Sword Plunge with a dumbstruck expression. He had already received numerous calls today to confirm how to cast Sword Plunge…

What kind of casting method could Sword Plunge have?

Wasn’t it to use your Sword Aura to pierce yourself and then cause a powerful eruption?

Furthermore, this ability could only unleash its greatest effect when it was combined with the bloodline of his Wang family!

What was there to enquire about?

Afterward…

He saw the videos online.

In the air filled with smog, Lu Ming shouted ‘Sword Plunge’ and nine figures were thrown out of the arena instantly. They included a number of two-stars, a number of three-stars and one four-star Swordsman!

What the hell was this ability?!

Was Sword Plunge supposed to be used like that?

However…

At the thought that his son’s life was saved by someone, what else could he say?

No matter what others asked him, his reply would be yes!

However…

The more he looked at Lu Ming’s video, the more unhappy he was. It seemed that this child was only a two-star. Relying on the advanced and optimized Sword Plunge, he could actually confront a four-star directly!

Wang Tianjun himself was somewhat tempted.

“Well… Son. Why don’t you go and ask Lu Ming if it’s possible for him to impart his Sword Plunge to you? After all, this is our family’s technique. Other people are more powerful than us when they use it. Isn’t it a little embarrassing…”

Wang Tianjun sighed. “Look, whoever asks me about the Sword Aura, I take all the blame. Can we ask Lu Ming to give you some pointers or something.”

“Huh?”

Wang Xuan was puzzled.

W-wasn’t this a legacy swordplay?

Their family’s legacy swordplay had already been reduced to the state where they had to ask Lu Ming for pointers?

Suddenly, he lost all his confidence in this swordplay.

This swordplay…

Could he really count on it to catch up with Lu Ming?

He was very doubtful.

Wang Tianjun also discovered the problem and instantly coughed. “Son, don’t worry. Swordplay is always being refined. Our powers come from a bloodline that is compatible with the swordplay!”

“Is that so?”

Wang Xuan was somewhat doubtful.

“Don’t worry.”

Wang Tianjun patted his son’s shoulder. “Don’t focus on other people. You will progress further in the future.”

At this very moment…

Qing Ming City.

Lu Ming and the group was just preparing to go home.

Just as they reached the doors, Classmate Chang Liang had been taken away by the sunglasses shop at the entrance. According to sources, all the sunglasses that he had stored in his warehouse for five years due to poor sales had been sold out. Therefore, he specially invited Chang Liang to discuss a spokesperson deal or something…

“Why doesn’t he thank me instead?”

Zhang Xiaopang felt very regretful.

This boss was not good at interpersonal skills at all!

At such times, shouldn’t he invite the entire team?!

Although his illusion did not have the same effect as Chang Liang, if he could work harder and strengthen his color-changing ability, the venue would become very ‘glaring’…

Most probably, they would need sunglasses too.

This boss really did not know what good stuff was!

Hehe.

Xia Yu and the group sneered and did not bother about him.

“Are you okay?”

Lu Ming looked at Miss Liu Yuan.

This lady had suffered a bump when the cloud shuttle carried her. Her forehead was still bleeding. Lu Ming felt somewhat apologetic. “I can’t control the Sword Plunge yet. Sorry.”

“Don’t worry.”

Liu Yuan’s eyes were in a daze. Till now, she dared not believe that they had actually entered the top hundred!

Oh my goodness!

It was something that she didn’t even dare to imagine!

This was something that the presidents of many terms did not succeed at. Yet, Lu Ming had done it!

Formidable!

Especially—

She actually succeeded during the last round. She felt emotional at the thought of it.

S-senior was so brilliant!

“I’m sorry,”

Xia Yu felt a little regretful.

He majored in attacks and had even prepared a powerful ability that could defeat one enemy. However, he was afraid that it would wreck Lu Ming’s plan…

In fact.

It was really right that he did not use it!

However, he clearly wanted to help the most but became the only one who did not during this round of the competition!

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Ming shook his head. “It’s good that we won.”

Right.

It was fine as long as they won.

If they really reached the situation where Xia Yu had to take action, he was fearful that that would be a tragic fight!

And now…

It was over!

For the schools in the top hundred, the competition had just began!

Next, they would head to the main venue of the School Championship Competition and begin the fight between the top hundred under the gaze of over ten thousands!

However, for Lu Ming and the group, it was over when their college entered the top hundred and appeared in everyone’s eyes.

This was because they really could not win the matches!

What did the top hundred colleges mean?

There would be four-star members in every team!

The closer they were to the top rankings, the more horrifying their abilities were!

There would be more and more four-star cultivators in a team. When they were closer to the top ranks, more five-star cultivators would appear!

What could they use to fight them?

Head?

In addition, there was basically no need to continue…

It was enough to be in the top hundred!

Lu Ming did not forget his initial objective, which was to get the higher-ups to value them, especially those people who came to assess his college the last time. He believed that this result was enough to make them place an importance in the school!

Besides…

Lu Ming did not want to waste his time on this anymore.

Although the competition did not take up a lot of time, traveling to and fro would delay his cultivation progress too. It would be extremely embarrassing if the Original Card were to catch up with him…

Oh.

Crap!

He had already wasted half a day today. He had to hurry back to cultivate!

Lu Ming felt extremely energized. After much difficulty, he had recently increased his speed and had also found more resources. He had to make sure that he was way ahead of the Original Card…

Although it was useless to have such a mindset…

Back at the shop.

Xiaobai was scrolling the screen and watching something seriously. She did not discover Lu Ming coming back.

“That focused?”

Lu Ming leaned over.

“Master!”

Xiaobai was elated. “You’re back!”

“What are you looking at?”

Lu Ming was curious. There were actually times where this girl was that distracted?

“I’m not telling you!”

Xiaobai quickly shut off the screen.

Lu Ming was surprised.

Yo, this girl actually had secrets now?

He lowered his head and glanced at Xiaobai. Xiaobai was blushing and seemingly feeling embarrassed… That expression. Was she watching something that was unspeakable?

Well…

She had grown up.

Many years ago, he had also started to learn Japanese when he was twelve…

Tsk.

“Good.”

He touched Xiaobai’s head. “Next time you watch such things, remember to go into the bedroom and watch it under a blanket.”

“Huh?”

Xiaobai looked confused.

Why did she have to watch something that she wanted to buy under the blanket?

However, since this was her master’s instruction, she would take note of it.

That afternoon.

Lu Ming was in the midst of creating cards.

Suddenly…

A pair of tender and tiny hands suddenly covered Lu Ming’s eyes. Xiaobai’s joyful voice could be heard by his ears. “Master, master, come here.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Fine.

This girl had so much childlike innocence.

Xiaobai brought him to before a table and asked quietly, “Master, can you guess what it is?”

In front of them…

There seemed to be something…

He smelled a light fragrance…

Inexplicably…

He thought of the scent on Miss Xiaoqing’s body…

Could it be…

Are young ladies nowadays that daring and playful?

Lu Ming was amazed.

Oh, right. Xiaobai even watched some videos this morning. Oh my god, youngsters nowadays really know how to have fun…

“Master, master, did you guess?”

Xiaobai was very curious.

“No.”

Lu Ming said carefully, “Clothing?”

“Of course not!”

Xiaobai shook her head and let go of her tiny hands covering his eyes. Lu Ming then discovered two identical card bags on the table!

Card bags?!

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

A while ago.

“You were looking at these on the screen earlier?” Lu Ming suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Xiaobai said very seriously. “I’ve looked around for a long time. They say that this is the latest and best card bag. People won’t be able to see through your card bag the next time during competitions.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

He felt heartwarmed. Xiaobai this girl…

Right.

During a previous competition, Xiaobai must have seen it on TV when Xiaoyan made a casual remark about his card bag. Therefore, she remembered it and secretly bought him a card bag as a present!

“Silly girl.”

Lu Ming rubbed her little head.

Xiaobai suddenly hugged Lu Ming tightly. “Thank you, master.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

“Everything…”

Xiaobai muttered softly, “For agreeing to take me in… for agreeing to teach me how to create cards… and for willing to help dad to protect this school…”

“You guessed it?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

“Yes. I’m a genius, okay.”

Xiaobai nudged Lu Ming in his arms.

She was a genius who had passed her basic education when she was twelve years old. This was such a simple thing. How could she not understand it…

“I don’t know what to do with you. You didn’t tell me even after I guessed it?”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly.

This girl…

“I can’t be of any help too. Even if I say it, I will only add on to your troubles…”

Xiaobai said seriously, “Dad said before that one should not add on to other people’s woes, especially at dangerous times… I-I won’t increase your worries…”

Lu Ming sighed.

Jiang Feng, on what moral grounds and capability do you deserve such a daughter?!

“Good.”

Lu Ming smiled. “Tell me in the future if there is anything wrong. You have to believe me, understand?”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai nodded obediently.

She always believed in master’s words!

“Well…”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “There is only one problem left.”

“What?”

Xiaobai looked up.

“Did you use your pocket money to buy this card bag?”

“Yes.”

“It’s such a pity.”

“Huh?”

Xiaobai was baffled.

“I can’t look for Old Jiang to seek reimbursement then…”

Lu Ming was full of regrets.

Most probably, Old Jiang would not reimburse him for a present that Xiaobai had bought with her own pocket money. If this was purchased in the name of his ‘official funds’, it would certainly not be problem then.

“Master!

Xiaobai stomp her feet.

He was annoying!

He really did not know how to pick his words!

Snort!

Xiaobai turned around and ignored him.

Two beautiful card bags, one each for Xiaobai and Lu Ming.

They were very exquisite.

Lu Ming took a closer look and could even saw some traces of additional features. Yes, this was the most sellable card bag. How could it possibly be made with ordinary materials?

This thing… possessed a very strong energy aura!

Well hidden.

Isolated.

Safe.

There were a few empty slots inside the card bag. Lu Ming explored them and discovered that they were actually chip carrier sockets that could be used to enhance your cards…

You can add various kinds of chips to control and supplement the card, such as the most simple temperature control…

Lu Ming was very astonished.

Cards…

Did cards need to be kept warm or chilled?

Well, they were not milk.

Amazing.

However, even if he did not have a use for these functions, it was much better than his previous card bag. Moreover, this was his first present from Xiaobai.

Well…

Hehe…

Lu Ming put on his new card bag satisfactorily.

At night.

There were very few customers in the shop.

Typically, there was only two to three customers.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming simply closed the shop and wanted to bring Xiaobai out for dinner.

“Xiaobai.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you out for barbecued fish.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai was very happy.

The two packed up and were about to leave the house.

However…

Just at this moment, a young courier man walked towards them. “Lu Ming, you have a delivery.”

“Sure.”

Slightly puzzled, Lu Ming accepted the parcel.

Delivery?

What did his sister send him again?

In normal circumstances, Lu Ming would only receive items from his sister. Lu Yan would often send him some information or specialty products from legacy sites…

It was the same again this time…

Lu Ming began to open his parcel.

There was an exquisitely wrapped box inside.

Lu Ming furrowed his brows tightly and opened a corner of the box carefully. His expression changed instantly because he could sense an intense and bloody smell…

This thing…
