Chapter 123: What Had The Sister And Brother Been Doing?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The second mountain.
Bang!
The wooden boat advanced against the waves.
Lu Ming stood steadily at the front of the wooden boat.
Lu Yan stuck her hand into the water briefly before retracting it. “The energy nourishment level is indeed increasing. It will get higher as we advance.”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming understood.
The energy nourishment level would increase as they moved further!
Since that was the case, why must they temper the body at the starting point?
They would vomit blood while going against the waves!
It was too tiring!
Therefore, Lu Ming decided he should head to the finish point right away and take his time to temper his body. It was most efficient in this way!
Look at these people…
Other than Gao Xiaoqing who seemed to be looking good, everyone else was suffering!
Eh?
Why was Gao Xiaoqing at the front of the group?
Lu Ming was surprised. Perhaps it was due to gender?
Well…
After all, she would lose blood every month…
“What are you thinking about?”
Lu Yan slapped her brother on the head. “There is a herbal smell coming from the child. Didn’t you smell it when you passed by her?”
“Herbal smell?”
Lu Ming was surprised. “I thought that is the so-called natural body fragrance.”
Lu Yan cast her brother a displeased look, turning silent for a long while. “Stop reading those indecent books, they are not beneficial to you.”
At the end…
She added another comment. “It is just the smell of perspiration.”
These young boys…
Lu Yan shook her head slightly.
How could there be fragrance coming from the human body?
At times when they had martial arts courses, dozens of girls were panting hard from the exercises and they did smell… but it was the smell of perspiration. It smelled awful!
It was considered good enough that some cultivators did not smell at all when they perspired!
The so-called natural body fragrance?
It must be referring to the smell on Gao Xiaoqing.
Many gifted ladies who came from well-to-do families would keep using herbal medicine to constantly temper their body. This was why people had the impression that it was their natural body fragrance.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He did not read any indecent books!
What he read was similar to the Dream of the Red Chamber and the ancient books from the author by the surname of Jin. All of them were decent books!
However…
The smell of perspiration?
There were expressions like smelling nice even when sweating…
But Lu Ming understood right away. For a lady to be drenched in perspiration in front of someone, the person must either be her lover or suitor. In the eyes of these men, everything smelled fragrant.
He had confirmed his doubts!
So it was their fault!
…
Seeing that her brother was willing to listen to her, Lu Yan felt assured and looked toward the boat.
“Pretty good.”
Lu Yan nodded slightly.
Her brother was always able to come up with something unexpected.
For example…
These strange guys!
In the wooden boat.
In fact, it was just a raft with a makeshift shelter.
On the left and right sides of the wooden raft were in fact two rows of powerful Energy Warriors who squatted by the side. Each of them had a newly created oar. They were rowing very seriously in the water!
Yes.
This was the driving force of the boat!
Three-star cards: Burial Mound Warrior.
That was right. Lu Ming applied his basic profession to its best.
More than ten Burial Mound Warriors were armed with oars. They had turned a wooden raft into a super large-scale wooden boat. It was powerful and invincible!
The Burial Mound Warriors were at the three-star peak level! Every warrior was equivalent to one Wang Xuan!
Oh.
That was not correct.
Wang Xuan would be tired, but they would not feel tired at all.
Right now, they were equivalent to Gao Xiaoqing who smelled of herbal medicine!
Well…
That was to say, more than ten Gao Xiaoqing who smelled of herbal medicines were paddling the boat, driving it forward. Since there were so many of them paddling, there was no doubt that it would move at a faster speed!
The only problem was the time limit.
However…
It was sufficient!
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming looked at the warriors who worked hard at paddling.
If there was background music like this song, “With one bamboo stick, it’s difficult to cross the ocean. If everyone works hard to paddle, it could drive a big galleon…”, it would be perfect.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
The waves became unusually large.
Lu Ming recovered his senses and realized that they had reached the finishing point.
“We have arrived.”
There was a sparkle in Lu Ming’s eyes.
Bang!
The wooden boat hit hard against the third mountain, breaking into pieces. Lu Yan used her Sword Aura to pass through the shore, leaving one single piece of wood behind.
Lu Ming and his sister stood on the wood.
Well…
They had reached the destination!
Lu Ming was in no hurry to go ashore.
First of all, it had nothing to do with them. He rushed to the finishing point as soon as possible so as to temper his body and to become stronger!
“I will keep a lookout for you.”
His sister assured him.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming put his feet carefully into the water. He could feel a rush of energy. He retracted his feet right away.
Lu Yan was speechless.
Silly brother.
It was for him to temper his body not to have a foot bath!
But then again, was Qing Ming City very cold? Her brother seemed very familiar with how he should test the water temperature.
“Let me adapt to it first.”
Lu Ming felt embarrassed.
He soaked his feet deep into the water once again.
Right then…
He could feel an endless flow of energy.
He was able to avoid being slapped by the waves, yet he could be nourished by the energy. Even if he only soaked his feet, he could feel the endless amount of energy.
Buzz—
The immense amount of energy began to nourish his body.
Lu Ming got accustomed to the energy in the water and decided to soak his entire body into the water.
Bang!
Infinite energy surged.
This was the final destination and it had the strongest energy!
Bang!
Bang!
His body was being tempered by the energy!
Lu Ming thought about it and dived into the water…
Although the rest were swimming in the water and were tempering their bodies in the water, they could only temper part of the body. For Lu Ming, he was at the finishing point, hence he was able to temper his entire body!
A full-body tempering!
The maximum energy!
Bang!
Bang!
Energy surged within his body.
Lu Ming’s physical fitness level was increasing rapidly.
However, as he was not hit by the waves, it still made a slight difference. The absorption rate was not as fast and much energy nourishment had been wasted.
“Well… This won’t do!”
Lu Yan pondered for a moment. This was a rare chance, they must not waste it!
It was rare that there was an endless amount of energy nourishment and they were lucky to be at the place where it was at its highest level. They must not let it go to waste!
Since this was the case…
“Brother, endure it for a while.”
Lu Yan assured him gently.
With that…
She gently pressed on Lu Ming’s chest.
Lu Ming who was being nourished in the river felt a warm hand stroking his chest. Just when he felt doubtful, he was hit by a terrible force.
Bang!
The Sword Aura entered him!
Lu Ming’s liver burst immediately!
Bang!
Lu Ming felt a loud roar inside his head. He thought that he had died. However, the endless amount of energy wrapped around him and his liver healed immediately.
It was painful!
The pain was excruciating!
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
He could feel the razor-like sharpness of his sister’s Sword Aura. It delved deep into his body, the thick and sharp Sword Aura cut through his internal organs.
Buzz—
Part of the Sword Aura turned into smaller Sword Auras and delved into his blood vessels.
Crash!
Crash!
All his blood vessels burst instantly.
They were too thick!
He could not withstand it!
“Brother. It will be slightly painful, you must endure it…”
Lu Yan’s voice echoed in his ear.
!!!
How was this slightly painful?
Ah… sister, are you kidding me?!
Bang!
Bang!
All his blood vessels burst.
Thankfully…
The effect was just as significant.
The river surged. The energy seemed to sense the gap, it rushed madly into Lu Ming’s body, healing his injured organs and blood vessels!
Then…
Bang!
They exploded after coming into contact with his sister’s Sword Aura!
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
…
Lu Ming could not remember how many times his sister repeated the cycle.
He had completely lost track of time. He only felt that his body was being constantly torn apart and restructured. His liver burst multiple times.
He suspected that his sister might have a special appetite for…
Perhaps, she should change to another point of entry!
Why did she always enter through the liver…
Ah!
Buzz—
The Sword Aura entered him!
Bang!
He trembled and his liver managed to stay intact.
Done!
Lu Ming had yet to rejoice and he felt that his sister worked to increase her Sword Aura and his liver burst once again and the Sword Aura entered other parts of his body!
Bang!
Bang!
Lu Ming was bleeding all over.
The surging waves of the river continued to nourish Lu Ming’s body. Perhaps since Lu Ming had lost too much blood, the energy rushed into his body rapidly!
It covered all parts of his body!
The second mountain was large, yet, at least ninety percent of the energy near the river had been absorbed by Lu Ming!
The end result was that there was less energy available!
The energy that flowed outwards from the finishing point was very little as well!
“The energy is getting lesser and lesser.”
Lu Yan frowned slightly.
The energy in the second mountain seemed to be a cycle. After Lu Ming absorbed a large amount of energy essence, the water at the start of the river did not seem to have much energy.
“It is such a pity.”
Lu Yan felt a little regretful.
It seemed that energy over here was not endless!
However…
It was enough!
Shush!
She retracted the Sword Aura from Lu Ming’s body.
Buzz—
The faint energy nourished the body.
Lu Ming’s body quickly healed. After the injuries healed thoroughly, there was an unexpected strange stream of lights. It was characteristic of people whose bodies had been enhanced to a certain extent!
Energy Warriors had to cultivate for many years to achieve this level!
Copper skin and iron bones!
Three-star peak!
But now…
Lu Ming had achieved it.
“Finished?”
Lu Ming recovered, feeling dazed.
“Yes,” Lu Yan said softly, “Do a check on your current physical fitness.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming clenched his fists automatically.
Buzz—
A powerful force seemed to gather in his hands.
This force…
Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.
His physical fitness level had been enhanced greatly.
Although he could not learn the skills and abilities of Energy Warriors, at least he could be physically strong. He had already reached the copper skin and iron bones legendary level!
What did it mean?
Three-star peak!
Yes.
As a Card Creator, Lu Ming’s physical fitness had already reached a three-star peak. Although it was not very useful, at least his survival skills were greatly enhanced!
If he changed his profession to become an Energy Warrior, he would be starting from the three-star peak!
“Pretty good.”
Lu Yan patted Lu Ming’s chest, satisfied with his current achievement.
The touch of his chest had changed.
His body was much tougher than before.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What the hell had he been through just now?!
“Let’s go.”
Lu Yan pulled her brother out from the river.
Shush!
The two of them entered the third mountain.
Assessment…
Ended!
Buzz—
The picture of their card appeared on the stele nearby.
At this very moment…
Zhao Yunshan and the group were close to the finishing point!
However…
When they were halfway there, they had already sensed that the energy nourishment in the river seemed to diminish rapidly. It got lesser and lesser as they neared the finishing point!
What was happening?
Could it be that in this assessment, the energy concentration at the center of the river was at its highest and it was at its lowest at the starting and finishing point?
Well…
That was possible!
In this case, it was up to the inheritors to decide if they wanted to stay in the river to temper the body or to resist the temptation to reach the finishing point as soon as possible.
This was indeed the work of the veteran, Lunar Shadow!
The legacy assessment had been well thought out.
Bang!
The waves surged.
Zhao Yunshan reached the finishing point.
Gao Tianlang followed right behind, Wu Hongfei, Gao Xiaoqing and the rest had reached as well.
However…
They did not look joyous. Instead, all of them had an odd expression on their faces. That was because the first place for the second assessment was Lu Yan and her brother again!
To hell with it!
What was wrong with the siblings?
Besides, they had a shock when they saw Lu Ming. How did his physical fitness level become a three-star peak for no reason?!
How long had it been?
How could he have changed from an ordinary man to a three-star peak?
Was this a joke?!
Zhao Yunshan could not achieve it either!
This guy…
Zhao Yunshan was full of doubts.
What had the sister and brother been doing during those few minutes?!
Of course.
If they found out that the concentration of energy nourishment in the second half of the billowing river should have kept increasing and reached its highest at the finishing point, what would be on their mind?
