Chapter 128: Are You Convinced?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Brother, Brother Lu, wait a moment. Shall we discuss it again?”

...

When Lu Ming heard the Blood Flesh Mother Tree say this, he knew one thing.

It was getting anxious, it was getting anxious!

But what did it have to do with Lu Ming?!

“If you knew this would happen, why did you do it?”

Muttering this classic ancient saying, Lu Ming’s actions did not cease. He seemed determined to keep hacking at the Mother Tree until it was cut down.

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree s heart sank to the bottom.

What did it mean for the Blood Flesh Mother Tree not to replicate Lu Ming’s power?

This meant that the plan had failed in all aspects!

The problem was not how the absence of Lu Ming’s clone would affect it.

Without Lu Ming’s clone, it would still be the tyrant of Nanxiang, still the second-most special being in Nanxiang City.

The problem was that in order to obtain Lu Ming’s power, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree had offended Lu Ming to the point of no return..

It had already shown malicious intent in front of Luming, and this malicious intent could not be simply brushed off with a few words.

If it could perfectly replicate Lu Ming’s ability, the mother tree would not care about malicious intent—create the clone, then kill Luming, and it’s done.

But now the situation did not develop that way.

It made the Blood Flesh Mother Tree appear utterly ridiculous.

“Brother Lu, it was all a misunderstanding!” it pleaded.

“Are you treating me like a fool again? I’m sure that what happened between the two of us is definitely not a misunderstanding!”

As he brandished his sword, Lu Ming retorted angrily, “Just wait for death!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Another series of continuous strikes.

The damage was severe, the insult strong, and it depleted a lot of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s energy.

After confirming Lu Ming’s determination to kill, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree immediately launched a counterattack!

Behind it, more roots and tendrils protruded from the red matrix carpet and swept toward Lu Ming.

On the other side of the Mother Tree’s trunk, a large number of human-headed monsters received the Mother Tree’s command and swarmed towards Lu Ming, using their lives to drain his stamina.

But were these methods effective?

Not of much use…

Although the root system was strong, as long as it touched Lu Ming’s sword energy, it would only break.

Moreover, Lu Ming felt that regrowing the roots would also consume the Mother Tree’s reserve energy-in other words, cutting down the roots and cutting down the tree trunk would have the same effect on Lu Ming.

The same went for the human-headed monsters.

Furthermore, although Gris’s human-headed monsters had the strength of a Tier 5, what happened before had proven that Tier 5 human-headed monsters were nothing to Lu Ming.

What Luming feared most about them was their ability to escape combined with their self-healing abilities—in other words, they were not easy to catch.

Now that Lu Ming was the attacker and they were the defenders, they could nor escape and would not cause so much trouble for Lu Ming.

In short, Lu Ming was like another tree under the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s feet. Standing in place, he would not move but wielded his sword fiercely, as if he wanted to compete with the Blood Flesh Mother Tree in endurance.

Lu Ming did not know what the Mother Tree was feeling. In any case, Lu Ming felt that he had slowly found some enjoyment in this matter.

Basic Sword Techniques Lviq-Lvia (0/2000).

Basic Sword Techniques Lv20-Lv21!

Exercising against living beings provided more proficiency than exercising against dead objects.

Combat provided more proficiency than sparring.

Furthermore, Lu Ming’s every slash was focused and intense, so it was only natural for his skill proficiency to soar.

The entire morning passed in this combat that seemed more like training.

Only when he realized that his stamina had dropped to the warning line did Lu Ming slowly put away his sword.

He turned his head and looked around.

All around him were broken roots and the corpses of human-headed monsters.

He looked up.

Up above, the once bright red Blood Flesh Mother Tree had now faded considerably.

Its branches drooped weakly, and its overall appearance resembled that of a dejected loser. The heads on the branches were far less lively than before, instead looking dejected and worn out.

“I’m tired.”

Lu Ming spoke.

But these words aroused the reaction from the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

A branch extended in front of Lu Ming, and the heads on the branch said pitifully to Lu Ming,

“Then let’s stop here? Brother Lu, I promise that I won’t provoke you again from now on. If 1 go back on my word, I’ll be struck by lightning!”

“Huh.” Lu Ming sneered and said, “You’re full of lies, kid; there’s no need to tell me that. Anyway, wait for me. I’ll go back for a meal and a nap first. We can continue in the afternoon.”

If the Blood Flesh Mother Tree was compared to the Nexus in League of Legends, then Lu Ming would be a hero.

He was the type of hero who wasn’t afraid of defense turrets and did not care about super minions.

He charged into the enemy base and destroyed the Nexus. He fought when he wanted to fight and ran when he wanted to run.

Even if the enemy Nexus could slowly regenerate health, could it regenerate faster than I can destroy it?

The strategy had been established, and Lu Ming intended to stick to it.

Wasn’t it just a battle of health bars?

Your health bar might be thick, but it’s useless when I can hit you without breaking your defense! What can you do about it?

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree was utterly desperate…

However, it did not know how to salvage the situation.

It could only watch as Lu Ming bent his legs, preparing to jump up and leave Linhai County.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Lu Ming stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at the Blood Flesh Mother Tree and said solemnly,

“By the way, before 1 leave, I want to chat with you for a while.

About the topic we discussed before.

You said that my life was about training and nothing else, that my life was dull, tasteless and meaningless.

You also said that protecting myself wasn’t a clear goal in life and that striving to become stronger was a meaningless dream.

Now, I’d like to say that you’re wrong.”

Lu Ming took out his battle sword and gently patted the tree trunk of the mother tree as he calmly spoke.

“Striving to become stronger is also a goal! It’s also a dream!

If I didn’t aim to become stronger, 1 wouldn’t have my current strength. Then today, the outcome between us would have been completely different.

1 admit that you have goals and dreams, and you are great and noble!

But what’s the use of having goals and dreams?!

Aren’t your dreams going to be shattered by someone like me, someone with a meaningless life?

Now, I’m telling you the truth.’”

At this point, Lu Ming enunciated every word.

“My dreams might seem meaningless to you, but such meaningless dreams can crush your high-end, grand, and classy dreams.

My life isn’t just about gaining strength.

I can also gain strength by beating you.

Now, I ask you.

Are you convinced?”

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree felt that its young heart had suffered tons of damage!

It watched with its mouth agape as Lu Ming soared into the sky and stepped out of Linhai County. It took a while for the Blood Flesh Mother Tree to regain its composure!

Suddenly, countless heads on its branches opened their eyes, and an angry and urgent chorus of voices erupted in anger!

“I refuse to accept this!”

“I don’t accept this!!”

“Why the f*ck am I defeated by someone like you! I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced!!”

Being provoked, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree finally spoke its mind.

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree begged for mercy and surrendered, but it was only partially sincere, ultimately just trying to save itself.

Beep down, it always felt that Lu Ming was more like a machine, running through monotonous routines every day.

He was too simple.

To the extent that he was easily underestimated by others.

And now, its dream had been shattered by such a person…

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree was completely defeated..
