In the group of ancient tombs.

 Lu Ming had been listening the whole time.

 Everything about the array…

 Everything about securing a place…

 He could not understand it initially.

 Everything about the catastrophe, people waiting in the suburbs… It was a mess. He felt that Zou Shenglong was talking nonsense.

 However…

 Lu Ming changed his way of looking at it and everything was clearer.

 Simply put, the product that the Array Master Cheng Hao had created was about to be released. Zou Shenglong was the product manager and he had sold slots in advance, getting prepared to do testing.

 Afterward…

 Something cropped up at the last minute!

 Those who were waiting in the suburbs to download the product were furious…

 As such…

 Cheng Hao had to make changes to the array.

 Zou Shenglong, who was the product manager, rushed to the site to solve the problem. In the end, he found his way to the group of ancient tombs.

 That was simple.

 He finally understood.

 As for the problem, it was easier to understand.

 This was not a problem with the program itself. It was just that Xiao-Xiaojian unplugged the power source of the server, and the product manager Zou Shenglong plugged it back.

 That was it.

 Lu Ming was indeed buying time.

 As everyone knew, villains usually died due to too much talking. Therefore, he wanted to give it a try. If he continued to talk c.r.a.p with Zou Shenglong, he might attract the attention of the big shots…

 However…

 Unfortunately, no one came.

 Perhaps, as Zou Shenglong said, those people would not pay attention to a small city on the periphery!

 Bang!

Countless lights danced.

 A power that was a thousand times brighter than Chang Liang's was released! It was a terrifying six-star power. It enveloped Lu Ming and he had no way to retaliate!

 It was bright in one instant.

 And dark the next second.

 It lasted only for a moment.

 Bang!

Lu Ming went flying and he crashed onto a tomb.

 Zou Shenglong!

 A six-star Elementalist!

 “A four-star… is too weak.”

 Zou Shenglong looked indifferent.

 He knew that Lu Ming was capable of combating beyond his level. However, they were worlds apart! If he had been an ordinary five-star cultivator, perhaps Lu Ming could really fight him one-to-one!

 It was a pity…

 He was a six-star!

 “Humph.”

 Lu Ming spat a mouthful of blood.

 As expected, this was the power of a six-star.

 He knew that a six-star was more powerful than a five-star. But it never crossed his mind that he would be that powerful! He was invincible!

 Looking at the situation, he found it quite true.

 How powerful was Lu Ming?

 Beginner four-star!

 Combat ability?

 Beginner five-star!

 He was one large realm apart from Zou Shenglong!

 A peak five-star might die when fighting against Zou Shenglong, notwithstanding Lu Ming who had to unleash all his potential to reach beginner five-star…

 The gap was too huge!

 “Surrender.”

 Zou Shenglong raised his hand again.

 He knew that Lu Ming had some strange and mysterious moves. His intention was to bring Lu Ming under control and to resolve the issues of the Restart Array. He would not give Lu Ming a chance.

 “How can I give up without trying?”

 Lu Ming took a deep breath.

 Shus.h.!.+

 The Stealing Card was activated!

 Buzz—

 The other party was unaffected.

 “That card doesn't work on me.”

 Zou Shenglong looked calm. “I am a Light Elementalist. My vocation core is very stable. No one can match me. Do you think that I am one of those Energy Warriors?”

 Lu Ming was silent.

 True enough.

 It was naive to cast a Stealing Card on a non-Energy Warrior. However…

 Elementalist?

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lu Ming focused his gaze.

 Buzz—

 The Original Card shone.

 “Xiao-Xiaojian.”

 “Yes.”

 “What is your combat ability now?”

 “I can wipe out all four-stars.”

 Xiao-Xiaojian transmitted his thoughts.

 Xiao-Xiaojian had greatly benefited from the Lunar Shadow legacy, the tempering of the Phantom Legacy, and the benefits of the Restart Array. Its tempering rate had increased rapidly!

It was invincible! No one could match it!

 It was an invincible four-star by itself!

 “Very good.”

 Lu Ming realized something.

 It could wipe out all four-stars.

 Well…

 Shus.h.!.+

 He released a Moonlight Card!

 Bang!

Bright lights were released from Xiao-Xiaojian. A powerful beam of moonlight descended onto Xiao-Xiaojian. Dazzling blue lights radiated from the Original Card!

 A faint mighty aura dissipated!

 Ss——

 Xiao-Xiaojian s.h.i.+vered.

 Five-star!

 With the moonlight, it had broken through to beginner five-star!

 And this… was far from enough!

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lu Ming raised his hand and cast another Moonlight Card!.

 This time…

 He strengthened himself!

 Bang!

The moonlight descended onto Lu Ming.

 The terrifying moonlight landed on Lu Ming and merged with the one hundred thousand points in his body, enhancing his body and energy!

 He looked mighty.

 “Why bother?”

 Zou Shenglong sighed.

 Heh.

 Was this his hidden trump card? Did he want to challenge others beyond the five-star level?

 It was a pity…

 He was too weak.

 Shus.h.!.+

 He waved his hands.

 Buzz—

 A ball of light condensed in front of him.

 Every ball of lights condensed a large amount of energy. They reached their peak and looked like seven sparkling pearls, appearing in front of him.

 “Go ahead.”

 He waved his hands.

 Seven b.a.l.l.s of lights were about to be released.

 However…

 At that moment…

 Lu Ming pinched his Original Card that had taken steroids.

 Swoos.h.!.+

 Lights flashed.

 There was a golden glitter in Lu Ming's eyes.

 The one hundred thousand points of energy that were transformed by the Moonlight Card exploded. His disc-shaped mental strength that had been quiet for a long time surfaced and merged with the Original Card!!!

Lightning! Slas.h.!.+

 This was the integration of the Original Card and Lu Ming!

 This was the full power of the Moonlight Card! Two limit four-stars were comparable to a five-star!

This disc-shaped mental strength was comparable to a five-star Swordsman!

 This was…

 The ultimate legacy of the Lunar Shadow Swordsman!

 At this moment, Lu Ming had released the maximum power that could be used in his current stage. This was his most powerful move!

 The Lightning Slash was compounded with two Moonlight Cards!

 Bang!

Lights and shadows erupted!

 Time seemed to have slowed at this moment!

 Buzz—

 The Original Card that was filled with blue moonlight charged toward Zou Shenglong. It floated in the void appearing in front of him and slashed toward his neck!

 However…

 At that moment…

 Zou Shenglong's eyes slightly turned.

 Shus.h.!.+

 A ball of lights floated and blocked the Original Card. Just when Xiao-Xiaojian was about to dodge, the ball of lights suddenly exploded!

 Bang!

There was a deafening sound!

 A powerful force spread in the air.

 The distance between the Original Card and Zou Shenglong was widened!

 This was the result of the superb combat experience that Zou Shenglong had gained over the years. He used the condensed b.a.l.l.s that were meant to attack the enemy to protect himself. However…

 It was such a pity.

 What he faced was no ordinary power!

 “Humph!”

 Xiao-Xiaojian sneered.

 Bang!

Lights flashed.

 It made another arc.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Afterimages flashed as it dodged the b.a.l.l.s of lights effortlessly.

 “Oh no!”

 Zou Shenglong's countenance changed.

 This Original Card…

 Its power…

 It was able to change its way of attack?!

 “Explode! Explode!”

 He retreated.

 He did not hesitate to destroy all the b.a.l.l.s of lights in front of him.

 Bang!

Bang!

A series of light b.a.l.l.s that were in front of his body suddenly burst.

 “Swoos.h.!.+”

 Xiao-Xiaojian seemed to cross lights and shadows. It moved in a z-shaped lightning streak, avoiding the exploding cores, and flying through the aftermath of the blasts to hack at Zou Shenglong!

 Pfft!

 Blood splattered.

 The group of ancient tombs turned silent.

 The light particles from the seven b.a.l.l.s of lights that had exploded hung in the air, falling onto the group of ancient tombs. It was beautiful. Lu Ming and Zou Shenglong stood far apart, battling each other.

 Drip!

 A drop of blood fell from Zou Shenglong's body.

 Had he won?

 Lu Ming s.h.i.+vered slightly.

 At this moment…

 He had almost depleted all his energy.

 He knew that there was a huge gap between him and a six-star. Therefore he had no hesitation when he used his most powerful ability to attack. He knew very well that this was his only chance!!!

 And now…

 Instinctively….

 He looked to the front.

 Not too far in the distance.

 More and more droplets of blood dripped from Zou Shenglong. They splashed down onto the ground… But, when he turned around, Lu Ming was shocked.

In front of him…

 Zou Shenglong had made a full turn.

 One could clearly see a long trail of blood on his arm, with a wound deeply piercing through his arm, and running across his neck!

 His arm was completely maimed!

 It was impossible to use it given the severity of his injuries!

 His arm suffered the deepest injuries but the cut at his neck was very light.

 It was a very small cut…

 Lu Ming took a look and noticed that it was merely a streak of blood.

 “This guy…”

 Lu Ming took a deep breath.

 Knowing that it could not be blocked, this guy used his arm to dodge the fatal blow. He blocked the Lightning Slash with his arm!

 That was right!

 He had withstood the attack!

 The price was losing one arm!

 “To think that you are capable of such power!”

 Zou Shenglong felt somewhat shocked.

 He was injured.

 But he was used to it.

 He was used to surviving life and death struggles.

 It was nothing to maim an arm! However, the person who almost killed him and maimed him was a four-star cultivator!

 It was Lu Ming!

 To h.e.l.l with it!

 Didn't the data say that Lu Ming was a loser?

 This…

 d.a.m.n! How was he a loser!

 Suddenly…

 He had some lingering fear in his heart.

 Fortunately, he had been trained since a young age to be vigilant and he did not let his guard down with Lu Ming. Otherwise, he might have been slashed by Lu Ming just now!

 The attack…

 The energy…

 It had reached six-star level!

 What did six-star mean?

 Of course.

 Being able to reach the six-star level and effectively attacking someone were two different things. However, there was no doubt that if one used this power to make a sneak attack…

 Any mistake and he might be the first six-star to be killed by a four-star!

 This was terrible!!!

 He had seen beyond-level combat.

 There was no energy limit for four-star and above. It was common to combat beyond one's level.

 It was very common for a beginner to attack an intermediate. People who were very powerful could even combat beyond their neighboring levels!

It was very impressive!

 However…

 Very few could challenge too far beyond their level!

 It was considered a large leap to jump from a peak four-star to a five-star. This was because the breakthrough of that level resulted in the change in the quality of the energy and the power was greatly increased!

 Therefore…

 Only talented people were able to combat beyond two levels!

 For example…

 Lu Yan!

 But Lu Ming…

 He was said to be a ‘salted fish who wouldn't accomplish anything in life'. However, he had combatted beyond two levels in order to kill him!!!

 Lu Ming…

 Sword Card Master…

 h.e.l.l… What kind of vocation was it?!

 “But I have failed.”

 Lu Ming sighed.

 In the end…

 He still failed.

 He had used his abilities to the limit!

 But what was there to do?

 His enemy was a true six-star!

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lu Ming staggered.

 He was stark white and he felt a weakness from the bottom of his heart. This was the aftereffect of the Lightning Slash. All his mental strength had been depleted!

 Even if he had one hundred thousand points of energy!

 “Is a Light Elementalist… That fast?” Lu Ming muttered to himself.

 “What do you think?”

 Zou Shenglong shook his head. “Although a Light Elementalist does not cultivate their fitness level, they are still a six-star! If sneak attacks worked, I would have been dead long ago…”

 Suddenly…

 He furrowed his brows tightly.

 Shus.h.!.+

 He lifted his hands. Lights and shadow flashed.

 Bang!

 There was a deafening sound.

 He turned to look behind him. It was the Original Card that had just attacked him. Right then, it came charging back while he and Lu Ming talked to each other!

 How dare it make a sneak attack?

 This is too sneaky!

 “Why do you still have energy left to fight back?”

 There was a cold glitter in Zou Shenglong's eyes.

 He could tell that Lu Ming was not feigning the weakness that he felt.

 This was why he stopped his attack.

 He could tell at one glance that his comprehensive attack had depleted too much energy. It was impossible to reproduce another attack! But in the end, Lu Ming fought back the next instant…

d.a.m.n!

 He had too many hidden skills!

 “It has nothing to do with me.”

 Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

 He was indeed a six-star big shot. He was knowledgeable and experienced…

 Zou Shenglong was expressionless.

 How could this have nothing to do with him? Could the Original Card kill someone without his control?!

 He felt that…

 It was better to deal with Lu Ming first.

 He was shady.

 “If you want to chat with me, I will do so after we return.”

 Zou Shenglong cast him a glance. “Your talents, your abilities, as well as the salted fish that we derived when we deduced your future… I am interested in all of this.”

 Lu Ming had many secrets.

 And, there must be top secret ones!

 Normal people, even talented people, including Lu Yan, would not be able to combat beyond so many levels. This was not logical at all! Given people like Lu Ming, all the vocations and energy systems would collapse. There was certainly a secret!

 He was very interested!

 Perhaps…

 He would be able to advance to the next level!

 “When we return… I will have a good chat with you.”

 Zou Shenglong looked indifferent. “As for now…”

 Shus.h.!.+

 He lifted his hand again.

 However…

 Just then, Lu Ming took out a card.

 Swoos.h.!.+

 There was a card and energy dissipated!

 He still had cards!?

 Zou Shenglong was suddenly alert.

 Lu Ming…

 He was an unbeatable c.o.c.kroach. Every time he felt that he had used all his energy, in the end when he turned back to check, he would be up to something!

 This card…

 He sensed the card.

 It was easy to judge what the card was from the information on the card surface. At his level, he could tell the effect of the card the moment Lu Ming took out the card.

 It was just that…

 This card surface…

 There was only endless barren land…

 What was this?

 Zou Shenglong felt a strong sense of unease. He had never seen such a special card, particularly since this card was from Lu Ming…

 d.a.m.n it!

 The mysterious attack just now must be related to the two Moonlight Cards!

 And now…

 There was another special card…

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lights and shadow flashed.

 Lights surrounded Zou Shenglong. He got his defenses ready. Just now, he was almost killed. He did not dare to be lax now!

 Buzz—

 Inexplicably…

 A strange and mysterious aura suddenly appeared.

 He could not see it or touch it. It was very unnerving.

 “d.a.m.n it!”

 Zou Shenglong's heartbeat increased.

 This feeling…

 Shus.h.!.+

 He enhanced his defenses once again.

 At this very moment…

 Lu Ming was waiting as well.

 This…

 This was his last hidden trump card!

 He had used a Lightning Slash + Moonlight Card. This was the only card left. It was the advanced card of the Burial Mound Card. He had never used this card before!

 It was evolved from the Demolition series, the Bulls Cards, the Demolition Card, and the Burial Mound Card!

 This was an advanced four-star card!

 One could call it the Desolation Card!

 In theory, it was of the same level as the Moonlight Card!

 However…

 According to Lu Ming's past experience, as well as the rather baffling Burial Mound Card that he summoned previously, the power of this card had nothing to do with its supposed level…

 Yes.

 This series was dependent on luck!!!

 Was the Burial Mound Card powerful?

 It was weak!

 It could only summon nearby bulls …

 However…

 In Lunar Shadow legacy, Lu Ming used one card to summon a deep-sea giant manatee and it crushed the island, killing countless people. As for now…

 It was dependent one one's luck!

 Shus.h.!.+

 There was a faint aura.

 A strange and mysterious aura surged in the surroundings.

 Lu Ming and Zou Shenglong looked anxiously around. However, to their surprise, nothing happened. Everything remained the same. There was no surge of energy.

 However…

 The more things seemed peaceful, the more ominous one felt…
