YM778.TV Chapter 191 - As Everyone Knew...
The college at the crossroad.
The water level was dropping slowly...
The teachers worked on draining out the water. All of them were expressionless. Of course, they had nothing against Lu Ming... It was just that they were frozen.
“Tsk.”
Lu Ming was surprised at the scene.
“Did you see anything?”
Teacher An ‘s heart skipped a beat.
“Nothing.”
Lu Ming shook his head. “I was just reminded of the mathematics problems that we learned during the basic course. If the teachers could drain five cubic meters of water per second and I can drain four cubic meters of water per second, how long will we need to drain all the water in the field?”
Shush!
All the teachers cast death stares at him.
An Mufeng looked dumbstruck.
He looked at the teachers who had an angry and frozen expression on their faces and sighed. “Don’t talk about ‘what if’ now... you will be bashed.”
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed. “Joking, I am just joking.”
After a long time...
The water in the field was finally drained away.
The water was gone.
Some of the mud on the ground had been cleared.
One could see that there were some training equipment on the far end of the field. It was basic training equipment for novices to train their physical fitness. There were no energy devices.
“Is that the abnormal area?”
Lu Ming pointed to that location.
“Yes.”
An Mufeng nodded.
“Water ghost...”
Lu Ming paused for a moment.
If there was indeed a water ghost, now that they had drained all the water...
The water ghost would appear!
Otherwise, it must be dead!
“Let’s take a look,” he said in a deep voice.
Hence...
The few of them walked over cautiously.
Pfft!
They stepped on the ground and left footprints on it. Thankfully, the ground was hard. Everything looked good when they walked over.
The teachers were on alert.
However...
At this moment, the energy detector in Teacher An’s hands suddenly began to work.
“It’s coming!”
An Mufeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Shush!
Shush!
The pointer jumped crazily, the energy level index was around level two...
“It is similar to the previous reading,” An Mufeng said.
Was that so?
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Therefore, the water ghost had been forced to come out?
Shush!
He took out one of his cards while the remaining teachers condensed their energy, getting ready for a harsh battle. However, at this time...
Buzz—
There was a shocking surge of energy.
The pointer that pointed to a level two energy suddenly shot up!
Level two!
Level three!
Level four!
Level five!
All of them widened their eyes in shock.
They watched helplessly as the energy level index surged past its limits...
“How can that be possible?!”
An Mufeng’s countenance changed.
Level five!
This meant that...
It was a five-star cultivator!
The water ghost that they had forced out of the water... turned out to be that powerful?!
T-this...
How could that be possible?!
If it was a level five, why didn’t it come out? No one in the school could stop it. It was a water ghost. It could easily wipe down the entire school!
It was tested as a level two previously...
An Mufeng looked grave.
The teachers glanced at each other, their faces stark white.
In Qing Ming City, one was considered very powerful if one was a three-star. All the presidents were at a four-star level. It was rare to see a five-star, not to mention a five-star water ghost?!
Who would have thought that a small event would become a game of life and death.
Level five...
One mistake and they would all die!
“Level five...”
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
There was no need to test it further. They could already sense its power.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Terrifying energy vibrated.
They could hear whining sounds.
The field that seemed to be peaceful changed at this moment. The whole world around it also became chaotic and distorted and a terrifying scene appeared in front of them.
Bloody.
Mysterious.
Lu Ming suddenly thought of a possibility. “Perhaps, this thing has always been a level five!”
“Impossible!”
An Mufeng rejected his suggestion right away. “We have tested it many times in the past. It has always been a level two and it did not cause any harm. Otherwise, the school would have become a bloody sea by now.”
“Its actual power was suppressed.”
Lu Ming thought about it.
The teachers looked dumbstruck. Suppressed its power?
Who was capable of suppressing the power of a level five ghost?
“Water.
The water in the lake suppressed its power.”
Lu Ming looked serious. “If I’m not mistaken, this may also be a... ghost from the north...”
Shush!
The teachers were silent.
Therefore...
This ghost could not swim?
Oh.
It was no wonder...
To hell with that!
Who said that this was a ‘water ghost’?!
“Can the teachers fill it with water?”
Lu Ming was a little regretful. “This could prove the estimate made by the mathematics teacher...”
The teachers were expressionless. They could not believe his words!
“Unlikely.”
An Mufeng smiled bitterly. “The lake was formed due to days of rain as well as the work of all the teachers and students. How can the few of us manage to do that now?”
“Alright.”
Lu Ming felt regretful.
However...
It did not matter anymore...
If they really filled it up with water, they could do nothing about it as well... Besides, it was purely a guess. He was not certain if it was true!
At this moment...
Since there was no other way, they could only fight it out!
At the thought of this...
He dived into his Sea of Consciousness.
Over there...
The black cat slowly got up, excitement in its eyes.
That feeling...
It felt as if it had seen its prey.
“Brother Cat, I will have to leave it to you.”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
Although he could not defeat it, Brother Cat could!
This was something that Brother Cat wanted. Therefore, he was fearless!
In the past, he was not clear of Brother Cat’s capability. However, as he was nearer to being a four-star level and he had killed a four-star instantly, he was more well-aware of the power of the black cat...
This lazy thing might be very formidable!
Although...
It originated from the R18 Small Yellow Card...
Although...
It could be related to the Card Creator who created it and had mysterious and unknown entanglements...
Bam!
There was a deafening sound.
Lu Ming was plastered to the wall. It took him a while to come down.
He glanced at the cat.
The excitement in the black cat’s eyes was replaced with anger. It glared intently at Lu Ming.
Oh.
Crap!
Lu Ming was suddenly reminded that at times, Brother Cat would be able to read his thoughts in the Sea of Consciousness...
Cough.
Lu Ming immediately turned serious. “Brother Cat, don’t misunderstand me. Although that was your shelter in the past, I believe you are not that kind of indecent cat...”
Bam!
Lu Ming was plastered to the wall once again and he could not get down...
Bang!
His consciousness dissipated.
Lu Ming had returned to reality.
At this very moment...
The teachers had gotten ready for battle.
“Is there any way?”
An Mufeng looked toward Lu Ming.
“Let’s take one step at a time.”
Lu Ming turned to look behind him. The road seemed to be blocked.
Over there...
There were strange black cracks on the ground.
Some green lights emerged from the rift, bursting out like a wall. It seemed like a road barrier, sealing the road behind them.
“It seems we can only go forward.”
Lu Ming frowned.
“Be more careful.”
He reminded the teachers.
“Understood,”
The teachers followed him cautiously.
Right now, no one cared about their pride. They had watched the matches and were aware of Lu Ming’s combat effectiveness. It was safer to stay behind him.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Energy burst.
Interestingly, whenever Lu Ming and the rest walked a short distance, the road behind them would be blocked!
Although the world had been distorted and they could only see strange lights in front of them, they were getting closer and closer to the end of the field as well as to that thing.
That feeling...
“It does not want anyone to flee.”
Lu Ming finally understood.
Or perhaps...
It did not want anyone to notice its presence!
Therefore, it wanted to kill Lu Ming and all of the teachers who were here!
This thing was very oppressive...
Lu Ming sighed.
Whoosh!
The lights and shadows flashed in front of him.
There was a roar and a green light condensed to form an ancient figure on the ground. It wore an old and worn armor, armed with long spears. There was no expression in its eyes, it sat on a battle horse...
“Is this the ghost?”
The teachers were alarmed.
“No.”
Lu Ming sounded grim. “This was summoned by it!”
Bang!
The battle horse charged forward.
The figure swung its spear.
Bang!
Bang!
The attacks made by the teachers missed and it did not cause any harm to it. The figure was a four-star. It was way above the teachers!
Four-star...
Lu Ming squinted, resting his gaze on the battle horse beneath it.
Oo...
This thing should not be a four-star.
The time was just right.
Lu Ming thought about it.
Swoosh!
He released the card in his hands.
A warrior that was similarly condensed from energy appeared, madly charging toward the enemy, displaying amazing strength! However, beneath it was not any battle horse, but a...
Eh?
What the hell was this?
The teachers were dumbstruck.
They knew that the warrior was terrifying and very formidable!
Therefore, they could understand even if it came on a pig. However, what was beneath the warrior... Oh, the warrior was not riding anything!
It was all in one!
This was a new species. It was the legendary... half-human bull?!
Bang!
Bang!
The two warriors exchanged blows, resulting in loud sounds.
The ghost knight stopped its attack abruptly and the half-human bull blocked the enemy. Seeing that, the teachers hurried to use their abilities!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The battle was over.
The ghost knight and the half-human bull disappeared on the spot...
“Have we won?”
The teachers wiped their perspiration.
This was the first time they fought with a four-star!
It was too exciting.
“Should be.”
Lu Ming squinted, looking to the far distance.
Although the battle was won, after checking behind him, he noticed that the road ahead had been sealed as well. The distance to the end of the field was getting shorter...
Whoosh...
A gust of strange and cold wind swept past them and another figure appeared.
“Be careful!” An Mufeng reminded them.
Right now, everyone had seen for themselves the power of the terrifying thing. It seemed that it would keep summoning powerful enemies to eliminate them...
However...
To their surprise, a young lady appeared this time.
She looked gloomy.
“I am Min-er...”
The young lady spoke in a gentle voice. “When I was sixteen, I left my hometown to come here...”
Eh?
The teachers looked at each other, full of surprise.
This thing could speak?
Was the voice transmitted to them from the ghost? Could there be any clues?
Sixteen years old...
Hometown...
The teachers tried hard to decipher her words.
“At that time, I loved this place...
I liked everything here, the scenery, the people. I even found someone that I liked. He dazzled me...
I thought that I would live the rest of my life happily...
Until...
When the school reopened and there was a teacher who was just as sunny and knowledgeable... I treated him as my elder brother, but I did not expect...”
The teachers were speechless.
Their hearts jumped a beat.
Could it be...
They had a bad premonition but they were eager to listen to the story.
“One year later...”
The young lady sounded melancholic. “He asked me to go to his office... and he... he actually...”
“Did he celebrate your seventeenth birthday with you?” Lu Ming interrupted out of curiosity.
Shush!
The world turned silent.
The young lady looked dazedly at Lu Ming who had interrupted her. The atmosphere was good, but his words...
The teachers looked dumbstruck, turning to look at Lu Ming. Brother, the atmosphere was sad, why would you crack such a joke now? It was not the right time.
Hence...
They turned back and wanted to hear the rest of the story...
However, they realized that the young lady in front of them had already leaned in close to them, and there were long claws on her soft, little hands...
There were only a few centimeters from their necks.
“Ahhh—”
The teachers were shocked.
Bang!
Bang!
They retaliated with various abilities.
The young lady’s weak figure dissipated under the teacher’s attacks.
Charmer!
That was actually a Charmer!
The teachers trembled. If not for Lu Ming, they would have...
However...
Their hearts trembled.
The story that the young lady had just told... the young lady named Xiao Min...
Whoosh!
The young lady dissipated.
Lu Ming walked forward, pausing briefly at where she stood just now. He dug out a water-soaked book from the ground—”Story-Telling Session Volume 3825″.
The teachers felt ashamed.
Alright.
It turned out that the young lady was telling a story from the story-telling session?!
“I’m sorry!”
An Mufeng felt very ashamed too.
All of the teachers could not see through her farce, while Lu Ming...
“Thank you!”
They expressed their thanks to Lu Ming and at the same time had respect for him.
The teachers were already in their thirties and forties!
They considered themselves to be experienced. However, they actually believed the story that the young girl told them, while Lu Ming saw through her lies right away. What did that mean?
He was not only powerful and handsome, but he was also very knowledgeable!
He had scorching and clear eyes!
They could not be compared to him!
Lu Ming only smiled faintly.
Hehe.
He did not have good eyesight.
It was just that the story told by the young lady was very familiar. It felt as if it was imprinted on the soul...
He was reminded of a scam.
As everyone knew...
Little Lu Ming used to be very unscrupulous and he was involved in many scams, for example using nude photos as collateral to obtain loans...
However, was that the first scam that he had got himself into?
Obviously not.
That was Little Lu Ming’s last bottom line!
Therefore, before that, Little Lu Ming had tried many strange methods to earn money...
Including but not limited to—
Submitting stories to the story-telling sessions.
And unfortunately...
This story was written by Little Lu Ming...
