Chapter 277: Hahahaha, Equipment Actually Fell Out!
Qing Ming City.
Underground.
Two figures were in constant collision.
Bang!
Bang!
Constant zooming sounds could be heard.
A red and a pale blue figure constantly collided.
The speed of the duo had reached their respective limits. Only afterimages left behind by their bodies could be seen. Their prowess was shocking. Both forces were equally matched!
Bang!
There was another deafening sound.
The two shadows separated once again.
âHowâs it possible that you can contend with me?!â
The man in black was somewhat stunned.
What was his ability?
Mighty five-star!
After burning his life, his powers increased even more!
HoweverâŠ
Even under such circumstances, in terms of physique alone, Lu Ming, a mere four-star, was an equal match. How could this be possible?
âHaha.â
Lu Ming only smiled faintly.
The Moonlight Card belonged to the advanced four-star category. It was comparable to an ordinary five-star card. He had absorbed all the powers of the Moonlight Card!
BesidesâŠ
Youâre also a pirated good, alright?!
Do you think youâre just an Energy Warrior?
This guy merely relied on his physique to release his powers. In comparison to some of the peak three-star super geniuses in the Illusory Realm, he was still slightly weaker!
Tell me. Youâre a double-major Demon Warrior and you want to rely solely on your physique to win?
Why are you that shameless!
Where did your confidence come from?
Obviously, the man in black also realized this problem.
Earlier on, he had been feeling smug after burning his life. He did not expect that Lu Ming also had such a trump card.
Since this was the caseâŠ
They would engage in a true combat then!
Bang!
A patch of flames suddenly burned on his body.
Terrifying elemental abilities spread along his body. They circled the fist that he was aiming towards Lu Ming!
Scorching Flame Sky Bursting Fist!
This was the unique and powerful ability of a five-star Demon Warrior!
âItâs coming!â
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
He had long guessed that once the man in black could not beat him with his physique, the latter would definitely unleash his unique move. However, he did not expect this move to be that powerful!
The moment the fist was launched, its terrifying power spreadâŠ
This abilityâŠ
It was definitely advanced five-star!!!
True enough.
Burning of life had greatly increased the powers of the man in black in all aspects!
What to do?
Get Xiao-Xiaojian to fight it head-on?
Lu Ming glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian and it instantly turned pale⊠What a joke? It had only gone through four-star tempering and Lu Ming wanted it to fight an advanced five-star head-on?!
Was this a joke?!
WellâŠ
He could only use the Moonblade then.
HoweverâŠ
If it was possible, Lu Ming really did not want to use it.
It was true.
He felt completely drained after using it. Lu Ming reckoned that if another enemy appeared in the ancient tomb afterward, he might die on the spotâŠ
The most important point wasâŠ
Even if he used Moonblade, he might not even be able to kill this guy.
After allâŠ
After burning his life, this guy was too powerful!
Why did Lu Ming attack?
He wanted to test his ability!
Yes.
He wanted to combat and merely wanted to test his own ability. Now, he had almost confirmed it.
He was a beginner four-star.
As for combat abilityâŠ
Under circumstances where he wasnât using an ability, he was unequaled at the four-star level. He and Xiao-Xiaojian were both top-notch four-star. Basically, they could beat their opponents and make them doubt life with brute force alone!
When they used card abilities, they could fight a beginner five-star head-on and directly move to a higher level!
For intermediate five-star cultivatorsâŠ
He could use unique and super abilities such as Moonblade to fight them.
Of course.
The one before them who burned life was not counted.
As to advanced five-star and aboveâŠ
There was no other way.
In that case, Lu Ming considered that he had completed the review of his abilities after his four-star breakthrough.
Since this was the caseâŠ
Why should he continue fighting?!
âŠ
âIâm sorry,â Lu Ming suddenly said to the man in black.
The man in black suddenly had a bad premonition. However, he was midway in the air and charging at Lu Ming forcefully now. Seeing that he was about to kill Lu Ming in one strikeâŠ
Where did this bad premonition come from?
He did not know!
AfterwardâŠ
He saw it.
Lu Ming raised his hand slightly and took out another Moonlight Card.
It was that card again?
What was Lu Ming trying to do?
Could it be thatâŠ
Lu Mingâs Moonlight Card could actually take effect multiple times?!
If that was the caseâŠ
Could Lu Ming become more powerful?
He stared at Lu Ming.
Bang!
His figure was like a rainbow.
Terrifying flames left long trails behind them.
He did not believe that Lu Ming could withstand this fist of his!
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
Lu Ming was quietly looking at the man in black who was dashing towards him.
Bang!
The streak of flames had already landed.
The man in black looked serious, focused and unperturbed by Lu Ming. At this moment, his powerful fist was merely a few meters away from Lu Ming and would hit him in a matter of seconds.
HoweverâŠ
Just at this momentâŠ
The Moonlight Card in Lu Mingâs hands dissipated.
Bang!
A beam of moonlight appeared.
âTrue enough! He wants to double the effect!â
The man in black hollered furiously in his heart.
Hurry!
Faster!
Increase the power!
The power in his body tossed and turned. He wanted to have an earth-shattering duel with Lu Ming!
HoweverâŠ
Just as his earth shaking fist was less than a meter away from Lu Ming, the moonlight suddenly landed. It penetrated the sky, ground and the⊠man in black.
Bang!
Moonlight landed!
The man in black who was dashing at a lighting speed was blasted to the ground instantly. He tripped and fell to the ground on his four limbs in front of Lu Ming, as if he was giving him a huge kowtow!
The man in black had a dazed look on his face.
What the hell was this?
This card was actually cast on him?!
Was this not an incremental card?
This forceâŠ
âŠ
Due to the impact of this sudden blow, his attacking fist stopped. However, he felt elated when he sensed the surge of powers from the moonlight!
That surgeâŠ.
Those powers possessed by Lu Ming!
Bang!
Moonlight emerged.
Although his attack was stopped by Lu Ming, he had become stronger!
Hahaha!
Lu Ming, this dumbass!
He actually used this kind of method to stop him?
It was ridiculous!
âŠ
Shush!
He was preparing to get up.
This was because the burst of moonlight power had made him become stronger!
HoweverâŠ
At this moment.
âBrother, have you exploded before?â
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Eh?
The man in black furrowed his brows tightly. Explode?
AfterwardâŠ
Bang!
Another beam of moonlight landed and perforated him on the spot!
His powers increased again!
The surging powers flowed into his body. The increase in his powers from the two bursts of moonlight had maxed out his body and he was beginning to explode!
âOh no!â
The countenance of the man in black changed drastically.
What did the burning of life mean?
He would be supplied with endless energy for the time being!
This also meant thatâŠ
His body was already at its upper limit!
Similarly, the Moonlight Card would also greatly increase the powers in his body!
Therefore, when one was burning oneâs life and was also being constantly supplied with energy from the Moonlight Card, the increase of powers and adding of energyâŠ
It was like eating too much and dying from overeating.
And taking stimulants!
âBrother, rest in peace.â
Lu Ming sighed.
Shush!
Another Moonlight Card in his hands dissipated.
Bang!
Moonlight landed.
The fiery red flames and the faint blue moonlight converged.
In the endâŠ
Bang!
They were transformed into fireworks!
In this dim ancient tomb, there was an unprecedented explosion of splendor.
âTheyâre exploding.â
Lu Ming felt grateful.
Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with sympathy.
Brother, you have to know. Lu Ming makes moves on people who are weaker than him! When facing someone who is more powerful than him, if he can not beat him, he definitely turns the tables aroundâŠ
After allâŠ
It feels good to turn the tables once. It feels even better to turn the tables constantly!
âŠ
Bang!
Bang!
Red and blue lights were released.
The place was filled with dazzling lights.
It was akin to the X layers of ice and fire in the rumorsâŠ
âItâs so beautiful,â Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian exclaimed in amazement.
âŠ
SuddenlyâŠ
An ancient-looking paper drifted to the ground. Despite the horrifying explosion, it was actually intact and without the slightest bit of damage. It drifted to them in a leisurely manner.
âEquipment has fallen!â
Xiao-Xiaojian was overjoyed.
When it first saw a computer, it heard that that era had an amazing and strange practice where equipment dropped out when bad guys were defeated. It did not expect it to be true!
Equipment?
Lu Ming waved his hands.
Buzzâ
The piece of paper landed in his hands â âBurning of Lifeâ.
Shush!
There was suddenly silence in the air.
Lu Ming was speechless.
After a long timeâŠ
He spoke.
âThis is a good thing.â
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
âYes,â Xiao-Xiaojian agreed.
However, at the thought of how the man in black looked at thirty years old, they felt somewhat troubled.
That man⊠was only thirty years old!
He even cultivated his physique and still looked like that?!
He was neither a programmer nor a novelist, how did he become that old-looking?!
This was too much!
ThereforeâŠ
When that item appeared in his hands, he was uncertain if it was a blessing or calamity. It was akin to a certain demonic curse. Once it beganâŠ
It might not be stoppable!!!
âYou have to think on the bright side,â Xiao-Xiaojian said, âWithout this, that guy would have been dead already.â
Burning of Life.
To put it bluntly, it could only be used when one was on the brink of death!
âNot necessarily.â
Lu Ming mulled for a moment. âWithout this paper, he might not have taken the easy way out. Of course, he might not have progressed that quickly either. Perhaps he would still be a three-star salted fish leading a happy life. He wouldnât have advanced to four-star, five-star. He wouldnât have encountered increasingly powerful enemies, like me⊠and then died.â
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
After contemplating the situation, Xiao-Xiaojian felt that this seemed to make sense.
This paper⊠could be good or bad.
Sometimes, when a person had a trump card, their attitude would become more laissez faireâŠ
âThis is human nature.â
Lu Ming was full of emotions.
Once a gamer who was an avid buyer of Guardian Angel [1. Equipment in the online game League of Legends], he was very clear about this point.
âŠ
âIâll take a look first.â
Lu Ming flipped the paper in his hands.
WellâŠ
There was a very brief description about Burning of Life: âBurn a fixed number of years of life and transform it into powers to help you increase your ability!â
Fixed number of yearsâŠ
Based on what the man in black had said, it might not be five years in the beginning!
This meant that with an increase in usage, once the user was familiar with the process, the number of years decreased it used and eventually became lesser and lesser.
It sounded very wonderful.
HoweverâŠ
As someone who had seen the man in black, Lu Ming was not drawn to this at all.
âPerhaps you can give it a try.â
Xiao-Xiaojian was happy to see this.
Hahahaha!
He suddenly wanted very much to see an old Lu MingâŠ
After allâŠ
If he were to keep this thing, he would use it sooner or later, right?
Once he used itâŠ
Hahahahaha!
Hadnât Lu Ming always been boasting about his unrivaled good looks? If he were to age by one or two decades, what would he become? Hahahaha!
Xiao-Xiaojian was overjoyed.
AfterwardâŠ
It suddenly heard Lu Ming said, âSpeaking of this, can a spirit body use this thing?â
Shush!
There was suddenly silence in the air.
Huh?!
Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.
Spirit bodiesâŠ
Why did he suddenly mention spirit bodies?!
âDonât sword spirits like you have an infinite lifespan?â
Lu Ming seemed to be lost in his thoughts. âThere are a lot of problems if a human uses this but if itâs used on spirit bodies, there wonât seem to be any issuesâŠâ
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
SeeminglyâŠ
The plot was developing adverselyâŠ
âRight.â
The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more amazed he felt. âYou reside in the vocation core. Think about it, if a vocation core ages by five years, itâs impossible for it to look older. On the other hand, its ability⊠Yes⊠Do you think your ability will simply progress to another level?! Do you want to give it a try?â
âGet lost!â
Xiao-Xiaojian rejected him!
Who are you trying to fool?!
The source of the powers of Burning of Life is the burning of oneâs life span!
What will a sword spirit burn?
Burn itself?!
As for lifeâŠ
Who the hell knows what happens when the sword spirit is burnt!
âYou really donât want to try?â
Lu Ming persuaded him, âThink about it. Xiao-Xiaobai was born so its spirit body is very weak. If it uses it, perhaps it can grow up faster.â
After thinking, Xiao-Xiaojian actually felt a little tempted.
HoweverâŠ
It recovered its senses right away.
âWhy donât you let Xiaobai use it?!â
Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. âXiao-Xiaojian is only twelve years old now. If she becomes ten years older immediatelyâŠâ
Lu Ming was silent.
It seemed⊠very logical.
However, he then recalled reading a lot of problems on Zhihu [1. Zhihu is a Chinese question-and-answer website where questions are created, answered, edited and organized by the community of its users.] in his past life. He eventually aborted this idea. After all, things like puberty⊠were essential knowledge.
It was true.
Some ladies already reached their peak when they were twelve years old.
Grow more?
No wayâŠ
If youâre in junior high school and are troubled by puberty during school, never pray that you wonât grow anymore. Because you really wonât have another growth spurt⊠Forever.
âŠ
âLetâs keep this first.â
Lu Ming sighed.
He had no use for Burning of Life for the time being.
There was no choice.
No matter how mysterious this ability was, depleting his life spanâŠ
Lu Ming reckoned that there was always a limit to hislife span and if he were to burn it casually, he might die very soonâŠ
Forget it.
He would put the paper away first.
When he returned, he would do some research and let the spirit bodies try itâŠ
He felt that would work.
If his research was successful, perhaps the Sword Card Master vocation would have another new ability?!
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
It felt that playing dumb at this moment was the best option.
âŠ
The man in black was dead.
He was very powerful and Lu Ming could only make him explode. In the end, nothing else appeared. Everything was fine. The group of ancient tombs before his eyesâŠ
âIâll check it out.â
Lu Mingâs gaze was scorching.
AfterwardâŠ
Half an hour later.
The man and the card fell silent.
They were surrounded by graves!
What could they check?
What could they see?
They had no idea at all!
What was the plan of the men in black?
They did not know either!
The runes on the tomb?
The ancient engravings on the walls?
WellâŠ
They could not figure them out.
Did they really think that everyone is Lara Croft [2.Lara Croft is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the video game franchise Tomb Raider]?!
âWell⊠I seem to have overestimated my intelligence,â Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
âYes.â
It was seldom that Lu Ming was that honest.
