Chapter 119: A Battle of Mental Strength!

The walk in the snowstorm.

Lu Ming was still trying to adapt to the Sword Intent here.

Why didn’t he spit blood?

It was because he was already accustomed to it.

A few days ago, to resist the charm attack by Classmate Li Tiantian, he had been whipped by the black cat too many times…

He was not stressed by such meager pressure.

However…

The path of legacy was very long. As they moved on, the Sword Intent became increasingly powerful. He did not face any problems in the beginning for a short distance. However, it was unlikely that he could endure it towards the later part of the journey.

He might not vomit blood but he might not complete the journey either.

Lu Ming tried to move forward a little more.

Sure enough.

The pressure was growing.

Although his willpower was also increasing gradually, obviously, it was not growing as fast as the Sword Intent. At this rate, if Lu Ming wanted to advance quickly…

Most likely, he would have to spew blood as he moved on.

What to do?

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

He pondered carefully and discovered that the black cat’s lashing seemed to be a tad more effective. He wondered if it was because the black cat was in his Sea of Consciousness.

What if there were attacks from both the inside and outside?

Lu Ming was curious.

Oo…

If the black cat’s attack appeared simultaneously with the pressure from the Sword Intent outside?

Click!

Lu Ming took a step forward.

Right then…

In the Sea of Consciousness, he stroked the black cat without hesitation.

Bam!

A ray of dark shadow appeared.

Simultaneously, the Sword Intent also landed at the same time.

Bang!

At this moment, the two strong and powerful thoughts erupted at the same time.

Lu Ming felt that he was akin to the layer of meat in a meat bun, strongly subdued by two sides and unable to move the slightest bit. He was stuck in the middle of a confrontation.

Pfft!

Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood.

…

He spat blood!

He spat blood again!

Wu Hongfei was suddenly spurred on.

Look.

He could not take it anymore?

He had just traveled for a short distance?

Hahaha!

He was a two-star Card Creator, indeed. Even if he could endure the pressure from the Sword Intent, it was not possible for him to continue with the journey!

Well…

True enough, he had been too paranoid.

This was just a two-star. How could he be mentally stronger than him?

Wu Hongfei regained his confidence.

However, just at this moment, he saw Lu Ming taking out the healing elixir and swallowing it. Seemingly, his complexion turned slightly rosier. At that instant, Wu Hongfei could not stifle his laughter. Lu Ming could not endure it anymore?

Well…

After all, he was a Card Creator and his physique could not be compared to Swordsman like him.

Heh.

Wu Hongfei shook his head.

He felt really ludicrous to have compared himself with a two-star Card Creator. Yes, he was a dignified five-star Swordsman. Why did he need to compare himself with a two-star Card Creator?

Forget it.

Wu Hongfei looked afar.

His goal was to pass through the snowstorm as soon as possible!

However…

For some unknown reason, he found those elixirs in Lu Ming’s hands very familiar. Those medicine bottles… Eh? Weren’t those the healing medicines that he had prepared for himself?

Damn!

Wu Hongfei’s mood worsened again.

…

Shush!

The healing medicine entered his body.

Lu Ming’s condition quickly stabilized.

However…

The confrontation in his body was still ongoing.

The Sword Intent was a mighty and powerful thought. The stronger its opponent was, the stronger it would become. Facing the black cat’s retaliation, the Sword Intent actually became sharper. Its razor-sharped edge looked extremely terrifying!

Clang—

The Sword Intent was surging!

At this very moment, the black cat flew into a rage.

This was too much!

Forget it that it sneakily touched it when it was asleep. It actually dared to retaliate?

Was it itching for a beating?

Bang!

There was an outburst of the black cat’s powerful thought.

Damn it!

Lu Ming secretly cursed. He had played with fire.

Remembering his tragic state earlier, he grabbed and gulped down a handful of healing items without any hesitation. He could then sense a huge commotion inside his body.

Bang!

His liver was rupturing and healing at the same time!

Bang!

His consciousness was tearing and reforming constantly!

Once!

Twice!

…

Lu Ming endured the huge blows.

After a long time…

After the Lunar Shadow’s Sword Intent dissipated, he then came to his senses amidst that commotion.

I-its over?

Lu Ming was speechless.

What could be the matter?

Seriously…

He just wanted to train his mind. That was all!

He did not expect these Swordsmen to have such violent tempers! Even Lunar Shadow who had been dead for an unknown period of time was so bad-tempered! He fought at the slightest disagreement!

This was too much!

He was almost killed in the midst of their confrontation!

Fortunately, he had enough healing medicine with him. Those that healed the body and mind… He consumed a whole load of it and finally stabilized his body.

It was just that…

It was too dangerous!

If he had known that this was the case, Lu Ming would not have dared to touch it.

Of course.

The advantages were obvious too!

After the confrontation, his mental strength had gone through a shocking growth spurt. Compared to merely Sword Intent tempering and lashing by Brother Cat, it had become more than ten times stronger!

Buzz—

Lu Ming condensed his thoughts.

He could feel his mind becoming stronger and more powerful!

His originally scattered and messy thoughts were actually beginning to show their strength for the first time.

It was very powerful!

A mind that had not been cultivated was similar to energy. It was broad in scope and in a messy state. On the other hand, a Swordsman’s mind had to be gradually sharpened and condensed to become Sword Intent. Even if the Sword Intent was not formed, it would become a straight line. In that way, the mental state would be sharper and easier to differentiate.

And his mental strength..

Eh?

What was this?

Lu Ming took a glance and his expression turned ugly.

The confrontation between Brother Cat and Lunar Shadow’s Sword Intent was too fearsome. His mental state had been flattened into a piece of pancake, the kind that was big and round.

It was rather skr! (Skr is a slang word that originated in the US, which became a hot topic in China after Canadian-Chinese singer Kris Wu used it to praise rappers on season two of the Chinese reality show The Rap of China. According to Kris Wu, the word describes how amazing a thing is.)

Was this a joke?!

Whose mental state was a big pancake?!

Why was it sharp?

Could it not be sharp after being flattened to a pie?

Lu Ming lamented listlessly.

However…

It should also become stronger?

If it was ugly, so be it.

Anyway, things such as mental state looked very vague before condensation and were not visible to others! As long as he could become stronger and more powerful, did it matter whether it was ugly?

Lu Ming calmed down.

However…

As soon as he lifted his head, he saw Gao Xiaoqing glancing at him from afar. Their eyes met and Lu Ming seemed to have noticed the corner of the young lady’s lips curling up with a trace of joy.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Hehe…

This lady’s mindset was not quite right.

He was spewing blood. What was she happy about? If he were to spat out over ten liters of blood, would this lady simply float to heaven?

This was crazy!

What kind of people were they?

“Are you alright?”

Lu Yan cast a caring glance at her brother.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

Let’s go!

He strode forward. His mental state had already shrunk into a pancake. What else was there to be afraid of?

Buzz—

The Sword Intent landed.

The surging Sword Intent swept across the pancake, tempering it slightly before floating away. It did not cause any harm to the pancake at all!

This was Lu Ming’s current mental state.

Powerful!

Sharp!

And…

Flat!

He looked afar.

Wu Hongfei was reaching the destination soon. However, he could hardly move at this point in time. On the other hand, Zhao Yunshan was advancing continuously and looking like he would surpass Wu Hongfei at any point in time, while Gao Tianlang and the rest were right on his heels!

Hehe…

All of you have walked for so long. It is my turn now.

Hence…

Lu Ming moved forward in large strides.

…

At this moment…

Gao Xiaoqing was resting.

She had just taken another step earlier and was making good progress.

She was now gradually able to control the momentum of the increase in Sword Intent. After resting for a while and adapting to the Sword Intent, she took another two steps forward.

She was very steady.

Her mental strength had improved tremendously too.

Lu Ming?

She was not paying attention to him anymore.

Lu Ming had stopped at one place for too long. Obviously, he could no longer continue with the journey.

However…

Just as this thought flashed across her mind…

She saw a familiar figure walking past…

Lu Ming?

Gao Xiaoqing’s eyes widened suddenly.

She took a closer look. It was actually Lu Ming. She did not know when this guy had recovered and was even walking in front of her now! How could that be?

“You…”

She instinctively took a step forward.

Bang!

The Sword Intent landed.

Gao Xiaoqing suddenly spat a mouthful of blood.

“Hang on!”

Gao Tianlang said in a deep voice, “Adapt to the Sword Intent first before taking the next step!”

“Yes.”

Gao Xiaoqing felt wronged.

She wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and stared at Lu Ming. She could not really figure out why a Card Creator’s mental strength was so strong?!

Was this lad really a Card Creator?

…

“Hang on! Yes, that’s it!”

Beside Wang Xuan.

The elder was following him closely, giving him guidance and directions.

The only way to advance further was to adapt to the Lunar Shadow’s momentum and Sword Intent as soon as possible!

He had a hunch that Lunar Shadow was not only testing the speed but also their understanding of and compatibility with Lunar Shadow Sword Intent!

In the end…

The person with the best aggregate score would have the chance to inherit the legacy!

In that case…

They might have a chance!

“Yes.”

Wang Xuan’s expression was calm.

Click!

Click!

Step by step, he walked into the snowstorm.

Right then…

A figure walked past them with ease and attracted their attention.

“Lu Ming?”

The elder was a little puzzled.

Wasn’t this the two-star Card Creator and younger brother of Lu Yan?

Card Creator…

Was this also a profession that cultivated mental strength?

“Third uncle!”

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, “Don’t bother about him. He has surpassed you.”

The elder did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had been surpassed by a two-star Card Creator. Yet, he was still so calm.

“It is true that he is more powerful than me.”

Wang Xuan’s expression was calm.

“Huh?”

The elder looked dumbstruck.

He took a closer look at Lu Ming’s ability…

That was right.

He was still a two-star Card Creator!

You’re a Swordsman at three-star peak, how can you say so calmly that he is stronger than you?

…

Click!

Click!

Lu Ming moved forward in the snowstorm.

Initially, not many people were paying attention to him. However, he had been advancing too quickly and had surpassed Gao Xiaoqing and Wang Xuan in just a few minutes!

How could that be possible?!

Even they were not that fast!

This was a snowstorm!

Oh.

His speed increased again.

Oh.

He had surpassed the two four-star Swordsmen…

Wait??

Wu Hongfei’s eyes widened greatly.

He looked behind and stared at Lu Ming in disbelief.

Lu Ming was walking on the snow in a leisurely manner. He was not spitting out any blood or showing any pained expressions. He easily overtook those two four-star Swordsmen.

Damn. Was he kidding me?

They were four-star cultivators!

They were also Swordsmen!

It is fine that Lu Yan doesn’t see the Sword Intent as a threat. But you’re a Card Creator. On what grounds can you do the same?!

Furthermore…

The most terrifying thing was…

Lu Ming’s speed was not slow at all. He overtook those two Swordsmen easily and moved forward continuously until he arrived before their eyes.

Shush!

The world suddenly turned silent.

Wu Hongfei, Gao Tianlang and Zhao Yunshan glanced at one another.

Lu Ming…

He had caught up with them.

Yes.

A two-star Card Creator had caught up with three five-star Swordsmen.

The trio had been chasing one another and working hard for the sake of the legacy. But now, all of them stopped in their tracks simultaneously and looked at the Lu Ming, who was in front of them.

Inexplicably…

They were a little confused.

Perhaps…

The Card Creator was also a profession that majored in mental strength?
