Chapter 470 - An Angry Li Haoran.
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Drip!
Drip!
Liquid kept dripping from the chair…
There was a puddle of water on the floor. The clear water on the ground was somewhat reflective.
Well…
Lu Ming glanced at it and was on alert. He held the Original Card and edged closer cautiously, until he saw her beautiful and flustered face…
Oh.
It was actually her!
The young lady from the Snow Mountain Sect, Tian Xuejing!
This lady…
What was she doing here?
Lu Ming was doubtful.
“P-president.”
Tian Xuejing heard some sounds and panicked.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming instinctively looked toward her.
O huo!
She was all wet! (A long description was omitted. It might be deleted right away if used.)
“What has happened?”
Lu Ming asked in a low voice.
He felt that this lady must be here for a reason. Ever since the outdoor BBQ last time, she had become a member of the Sword Card Master Association.
She was kind, simple and considerate.
This was the comments made by the disciples of the association.
For the past few days.
Miss Tian had been keeping a low profile while cultivating.
“President, I feel very hot.”
Tian Xuejing felt uncomfortable.
Lu Ming was silent.
He looked at his simply decorated bedroom.
This was not logical…
In the past he knew that the quality of villas and mansions was not up to standard, and ladies would find it too warm, requesting to turn on the air-conditioner… He had never heard that simple decoration had the same effect as well!
“Please be more specific.”
Lu Ming asked.
“I don’t know how to put it in words.”
Tian Xuejing was distressed. “These two days while I was cultivating, I feel a burning fire within me. I couldn’t control myself, and liquid kept dripping out from my body.”
Lu Ming thought about it.
Oh…
Burning fire…
This issue…
Maybe it had something to do with age?
After a long time…
He purchased a book, “Electronic Guide To Women’s Physical Health” online and sent it to Miss Tian. “Do you want to take a look at this?”
Tian Xuejing was speechless.
“President!”
Tian Xuejing blushed, stomping her foot. “It has to do with cultivation!”
“Cultivation…”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck. “Why would there be water during cultivation?!”
“My Original Card is somewhat different.”
Tian Xuejing said, feeling embarrassed.
“Huh?”
Lu Ming’s interest was piqued. “Summon it.”
Buzz—
The Original Card materialized!
Tian Xuejing’s condensed Original Card appeared. Surprisingly, it was a transparent icy clear card. It was crystal clear and icy blue.
It looked beautiful and surreal.
“It is so pretty!”
Lu Ming was shocked.
Xiao-Xiaojian took a look, feeling dumbstruck and paused briefly, before stuffing itself into the card bag…
Damn!
Both of them were cards, but the appearance was so different!
Oh.
Yes.
It must be due to Lu Ming!
His lousy genes!
Lu Ming ignored the rebukes coming from his Sea of Consciousness.
He touched the Original Card and was surprised to find that this Original Card was formed by water… It had a mysterious and immense power!
This was…
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
The Original Card…
It could actually have such an appearance!
He suddenly understood why the young lady did not die despite being barbecued for a night outdoors…
“Initially, my cultivation was normal.”
Tian Xuejing looked distressed. “These two days, for unknown reasons, a strange flame is burning… and my abilities have become weaker.”
“The water…
“The Original Card is structurally weak and it flowed out from the card.
“I studied it for days but I still could not figure it out…
“That is why I am here.”
Tian Xuejing lowered her head.
If possible, she did not dare to look for the president.
Although the president saved her last time, and she would repay the president as well, for unknown reasons, she felt afraid whenever she saw the president.
“Understood.”
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
The Original Card…
It was a product with very precise structures.
Under the effect of the energy, the Original Card existed in a highly precise manner. Now that its structures were unstable, the Original Card collapsed, and hence a large amount of water flowed out of it…
This was serious.
The Original Card…
Lu Ming tried to study the Original Card in front of him, but to no avail.
Since this card was derived from Tian Xuejing’s special body, if he wanted to understand the mystery of the water, he had to start from her body.
“Come here.
“Miss Tian.
“Let me check your body…”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
He paused for a moment.
He felt that it would be mean if he laughed at her situation. Therefore, he maintained a serious expression. “I only need to pass energy through your body…”
“Okay.”
Tian Xuejing came closer and stood in front of Lu Ming.
Whoosh—
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
He lifted his hand and was about to place it on Tian Xuejing, but he did not know where to start from.
After all…
As everyone knew, if the headlamps were bright enough, there were not many blind spots in front of the vehicle.
After a long time…
Lu Ming sighed. “Miss… please turn around.”
“Oh.”
Tian Xuejing turned around.
Buzz—
Lu Ming gently pressed on her back.
Bang!
A surge of energy burst through.
Lu Ming clearly saw the energy structure inside Miss Tian’s body and he was shocked that it was… all water… inside!!!
Yes.
This lady was filled with water!!!
What the hell…
Lu Ming was shocked!
The human body was made up of about 70% water, he had never seen anyone who was solely made up of water!
It was not logical at all!
Besides, under the power of peering through using energy, water would usually be ignored and one would be able to see the energy structure! However, the energy structure of the lady…
It was all water!!!
Even the energy characteristics were water!!
That…
How could that be possible?
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
The last time he felt so much water… was when he read a book in [1. Qi Dian is a Chinese platform offering all kinds of web novels of different genres]. It was a book named “The Strongest Gene”… the writer…
Tsk.
It was better not to elaborate further.
Although the writer was young, had good looks, and the novels were acceptable, they were not very meaningful.
Of course.
Those were words used to describe meaningless content.
Right now…
The adorable Miss Tian did not belong to the human category?
“I-is there any problem?”
Tian Xuejing was apprehensive.
“There is no problem.”
Lu Ming’s head was aching.
People said that women were made of water… He did not believe it in the past, now he believed it.
It had been confirmed.
But he had no idea how to settle this issue!
This body…
According to his check just now, there must be a certain reason why the the structure was unstable and that was why water kept flowing out of Miss Tian.
As for the reason…
Lu Ming looked at the weather. “Are you suffering from heat stroke?”
“Huh?”
Tian Xuejing was dazed.
Suffering…
From heat stroke…?!
N-no way.
Thankfully…
After checking, Miss Tian had normal body temperature. To cultivators at this stage, it was unlikely that one would suffer from heat stroke…
Then there was no other explanation.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. He really did not know the reason!
It was rare that a disciple was here to seek help, however… but then again, could it be that Miss Tian grew up in the Snow Mountain Sect and hence she had a special constitution?!
Back then, she was not the only one who was duped and sold!
“Well…
“Miss Tian.
“How many disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect grow up there?”
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
“There are plenty of them.”
Tian Xuejing thought about it. “There are about five to six of them who are about my age. But my master forbade me from playing with them.”
“Oh…”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
What was the Snow Mountain Sect?
It was a pyramid selling place!
The seniors?
The seniors were one more scamming than the other!
Over there, they were very harsh to everyone except for Miss Tian. This was why Miss Tian was willing to be the spy!
She wanted to repay her gratitude for the sect!
The special treatment…
Was it really because Tian Xuejing was beautiful?
Obviously not.
Perhaps…
Lu Ming turned on the communication device and searched for information regarding the Snow Mountain Sect, looking through ancient books all the way to current information. In the end, he suddenly paused upon seeing one picture.
That was a blue lotus flower.
It was very beautiful.
Of course.
The most important thing was the lotus flower had the same material as Tian Xuejing’s Original Card!!!
It was crystal clear.
It looked beautiful and surreal.
The remarks that followed—Snow Crystal Lotus was extremely rare. The spiritual item was blue in color, it was condensed from the essence of the snow mountain. It could only develop in the depths of the snow mountain and in the richest place in the mountain. After consuming it, it could enhance the water-soluble energy, greatly increasing the might of the water-based energy.
This thing…
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
Snow Crystal Lotus…
Tian Xuejing…
It was the same material…
He did not need to ask and he knew the results.
Hence…
He showed Miss Tian the lotus. “Have you seen this before?”
“Eh?”
Tian Xuejing’s eyes lit up. “I remembered that when I was young and very hungry, I was almost unconscious and I ate a lot of these lotuses in one go.”
“M-many of them…”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
“Okay.”
“I couldn’t find anything to eat and I could only eat this.”
Tian Xuejing thought carefully and felt somewhat embarrassed. “I remembered it was about the size of a garden. It was a pity I ate all of them.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Well…
It was needless to ask!
This was why this lady had this strange constitution!
The Snow Crystal Lotus was very rare, and the lady ate a garden full of them in one go…
→_→
In the end…
This was how it turned out.
As for the flowing water…
“Did you break through recently?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Huh?”
Tian Xuejing was surprised. “How do you know?”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
Therefore…
Miss Tian was tantamount to a lake now… She was lying safely in the lake. However, recently, with the increase in abilities, the lake had become active…
Some unstable water overflowed.
To put it bluntly—
It was about the stabilization of the realm!
As long as the realm and energy structure were being stabilized, the body would return to normal.
Of course.
If it was a few days ago, she would be fine after taking a few bottles of calming fluids. But right now… Lu Ming looked at the empty room. He became teary-eyed at the room that was being emptied by Li Haoran.
“Work hard on stabilizing the realm.”
Lu Ming explained it to Miss Tian.
“Thank you, president.”
Miss Tian was touched.
She was scared out of her wits by what happened and she could not sleep for days.
In her memory…
The last time she was so nervous was when she was 13 years old… But there were biological textbooks back then, right now, she could not find solutions for her condition, and she had to look for the president!
“You can leave.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Okay.”
Miss Tian left.
Currently…
The only thing she could do was to go into retreat and focus on her cultivation.
“This child…”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
The disciples of the Sword Card Master Association were extraordinary.
“Xiao-Xiaojian,
“If we don’t work hard, we might fall behind.”
Lu Ming chuckled.
Right now he was a peak five-star. As long as he stabilized his realm, he would be able to work toward six-star! He believed that by then, his energy would increase significantly!
This…
This was a new start!
Hence…
Today, he went to the cultivation room to experience it again.
Shadow, Original Card, body, three in one, entering a state of ultra high cultivation speed.
However…
Lu Ming was unaware of something.
After he left, the cleaning auntie cleaned up as usual. She cleaned up after Miss Tian left and cleared the water stains all the way to the president’s room…
The cleaning auntie was silent.
After a long time…
A sigh could be heard. “The youngsters sure know how to have fun.”
…
That afternoon.
Lu Ming completed his cultivation and felt refreshed.
Ever since he had Xiao-Xiaojian and the shadow, it had been a long time since he cultivated. Right now, it was an interesting feeling to focus fully on cultivation and working three-in-one.
Of course.
His focus was still on increasing his combat abilities.
However…
Never did he expect…
He had just reached the office when Li Haoran came looking for him.
“Master.
“Something had happened.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming raised his eyebrow.
“Lessons at the college at the crossroad were suspended.”
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Lessons were suspended?!
Wait a minute.
Didn’t the college at the crossroad just start school?!
There were only a dozen people and all of them were students selected for the Sword Card Master Association beforehand! Although they were not considered as top-notch geniuses, they were not any worse than students from The First Academy!
Why would their lessons be suspended?
Cough.
Li Haoran sighed. “This is not the first time the college at the crossroad started school. Since it was a reconstructed college, in accordance with the rules, the authorities would send people to check.”
“What happened afterward?”
“After inspection by the authorities, we did not pass…”
“Did not pass?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
They only had a few students, they did not take up a lot of rooms!
How could they fail the inspection?!
“Yes.”
Li Haoran had a headache as well. “We did not pass the inspection and was asked to suspend lessons. The students naturally protested… The inspection team did not have a good attitude, and hence there were some conflicts…”
“Some conflicts?”
Lu Ming was very doubtful.
Cough.
Li Haoran lowered his head. “The leaders of the few inspection teams were being beaten.”
Lu Ming was silent.
Leaders, inspection, beaten…
That was crazy!
Were the new students so outstanding?
“Well, Master…”
Li Haoran was helpless. “Since they are new students, as you know, they just learned cultivation and their abilities increased greatly, and hence none of them were convinced with the inspection… Besides, the inspection team was indeed strict.”
“A—alright.”
Lu Ming sighed.
This matter…
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Lu Ming stood up.
“Okay.”
Li Haoran hurried after Lu Ming.
Very soon…
The two of them reached the college district.
Over there.
The leaders of the inspection team were still in a confrontation with the students.
“Sirs.”
Li Haoran hurried forward to stop the students, apologizing to the students. “Please calm down, there’s always room for discussion. The children are insensible.”
“There is nothing to calm down!”
A middle-aged man of the inspection team was furious. “I inspected several hundreds of schools every year, but none is as arrogant as you! You won’t accept any suggestions and you still want to beat people!?
“This is too much!
“Suspend the lessons!
“The lessons must be suspended!”
He said angrily.
“Please don’t do this to me.”
Li Haoran kept mediating. “Let’s have a good chat.”
“Senior, step aside!”
The students were very furious.
Right then.
The middle-aged man also noticed the teenager who came with Li Haoran, and he sneered. “Well, did your school have another student who has not been reported?
“Fine!”
“How dare you start a class in private?!
“Tell me!
“What kind of good-for-nothing is this? He must have gone in through the back door!”
The middle-aged man was furious.
Li Haoran who was holding back the students froze with a smile on his face. His smile turned hideous and he rushed to stand in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had yet to come to his senses and was pressed down on the ground by Li Haoran.
“How dare you scold my master?!
“Who is the rubbish?
“You are the rubbish!
“Damn it!
“You are a social vermin. All you know is to ask for money. If not for the children, I will definitely beat you until you are beyond recognition!”
Crash!
Crash!
Li Haoran rode on the middle-aged man and gave him a round of beating.
The students were speechless.
The inspection team was speechless.
Moments later.
The breath of the middle-aged man became raspy and uneven. The students quickly pulled Li Haoran back.
“Calm down!”
“Senior, calm down!”
The students had a tight grip on Li Haoran.
“Get out of the way!
“I must kill this bastard!”
Li Haoran was furious.
How dare he humiliate his master!
He was courting death!
Opposite him…
The inspection team was in a panic. They helped the middle-aged man to stand up. Everything was chaotic.
…
After a long time…
The situation finally calmed down.
Lu Ming sighed and walked slowly over.
“Everyone…
“Let me introduce myself, I am Lu Ming.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
The inspection team was silent.
The middle-aged man who was beaten and had just gained his consciousness was silent.
Lu Ming…
The president of the Sword Card Master Association!
Although Lu Ming was only 17 years old, this was by no means the reason for the inspection staff to humiliate him. They were beaten for nothing.
However…
The middle-aged man merely sneered.
They were indeed…
beaten for nothing.
However, he would not forget what happened. If the college at the crossroad wanted to start lessons, they had to pass their inspections! They followed the rules and regulations. They had nothing to be afraid of!
“President Lu Ming.”
One of the leaders of the inspection team coughed. “Your lessons can’t be allowed.”
“Can you elaborate?”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“There are many places that are not qualified.”
The leader smiled.
Eh?
Lu Ming looked toward the students.
“A pack of lies!”
One student almost kicked the leader, startling the inspection team (hold down the B key) and took a step back, barely escaping from the student’s attack.
“President!
“Let me do the talking!”
The student was furious as he explained the reason for not being qualified.
How should he explain it…
It was very simple.
Hygiene inspection was the most basic requirement and the students were very diligent in the cleaning.
Afterward…
The inspection team was there to inspect.
1. Why were the books placed on the table? Points deducted!
2. Why was there rubbish in the trash?! Points deducted!
3. Why was there clothes on the clothes rack? Points deducted!
4. Why was there chalk on the blackboard chalk slot? Points deducted!
5. Why was someone lying on the dormitory bed? Points deducted!
…
And so on.
Hence…
Initially they passed the inspection, but in the end, they had a negative score.
Lu Ming was speechless.
…
