383 The Disciples Who Graduated From The First Phase
Tian Du City.
Infuriated policemen began to take action.
Within a short time frame of three hours, they arrested the dozen big shots who had performed on the streets and contravened the laws. They then managed to suppress that kind of wrongdoing and its twisted trend!
“Are you guys crazy? Or am I crazy?!
“You guys are already seven-stars!
“Seven-stars!
“All of you did this together. Those who don’t know what’s happening will think that it’s the end of the world!
“Come here, all of you!”
Enraged, the policeman criticized them one by one.
“The one who smashed the mountain with your chest. Do you know that the mountain you destroyed is an important landmark for Tian Du City? Can the Energy Warriors a.s.sociation afford to compensate for this?!
“You are fined eight million yuan.”
The big shot Energy Warrior was speechless.
“The one who swallowed the sword! Do you know that there is a crackdown now?!
“A huge batch of students has just graduated and you’re beginning to swallow and perform ‘oral s.e.x’ in the streets. Have you considered the students’ feelings?
“Hmm…
“Spreading obscene p.o.r.nography. Fine: one million yuan.”
The big shot Swordsman was speechless.
He did not care about the million yuan but what a strange categorization?!
“Also!
“The person who summoned an enormous ape and made it climb the skysc.r.a.per! Did you know that that building is a landmark of Tian Du City?!
“Hmm… Damage of public property. Fine 20 million yuan.”
The big shot Summoner was speechless.
“Also…
“The one who shot everywhere in the sky! Come out here! Do you know what a seven-star means? Do you know how horrifying those powers you released were?
“What if you hurt someone?
“What if you shot someone dead?!”
“Impossible.”
That big shot Sharpshooter said softly, “I shot out energy arrows. They are unaffected by gravity and won’t deteriorate.”
“Really?”
The policeman took out a piece of newspaper and threw at his face. “Energy deterioration! Of course, nothing will happen to the ground. But what about the sky?! Look at this!”
Shus.h.!.+
The newspaper was opened.
The news headlines — A flock of protected swallows was shot by unknown arrows during their migration, resulting in heavy losses and injuries. Swallow lovers expressed their strong protest!
The big shot Sharpshooter was speechless.
“You are fined one million yuan for the medical expenses. Understand?”
The policeman sneered.
“Yes!”
The big shot Sharpshooter sighed.
“You, you and you!”
The policeman pointed at and chided each of them.
In the end…
The big shots paid the fine and left.
Just as the policeman was prepared to leave work, one of the big shots stood still with a calm expression. He had already laid out his quilt, preparing to go to sleep.
The policeman’s face turned black. “What are you doing?”
“Sleeping.”
That big shot looked very calm. “They won’t allow me to leave.”
“What is happening?” the policeman turned around and inquired.
“This person has not paid his fine…”
The a.s.sistant sighed.
“Why do you have to do this?”
The policeman sighed. “Your a.s.sociation will make arrangements for this. Why can’t you just look for them to seek reimburs.e.m.e.nt?!”
Yes.
Why were they fined that heavily?
First, they had caused a huge impact. Second, they could seek reimburs.e.m.e.nts from their a.s.sociations!
“I have applied for the reimburs.e.m.e.nt but they didn’t approve it.”
The big shot was very calm.
With that…
He even shook his blanket to soften it.
“Which a.s.sociation are you from?”
The policeman was shocked. Seven-stars were pillars of the a.s.sociation. Were they treated that badly?
“Energy Warriors a.s.sociation,” the big shot replied.
The policeman was speechless.
Oh, I see.
“Go! Get lost!”
The policeman shoved him away with a look of disdain on his face.
d.a.m.n it. Each time he encountered the Energy Warriors, he could not get anything from them!
However, the Energy Warriors a.s.sociation was very ethical. To make up for the smashed mountain, they specially organized the big shots from their a.s.sociation to s.h.i.+ft two huge mountains from the wilderness to replace it…
Bang!
The two mountains landed on the ground.
They were affectionately called “Twin Bosom Mountain” by the natives.
Hence…
The Energy Warriors a.s.sociation also became famous.
…
“What an amazing tactic!”
Zhang Yang sat on his wheelchair with an austere expression.
“Have some water.”
Li Haoran took care of him gingerly. Ever since he found out who the culprit was, he felt somewhat guilty and had been taking good care of Zhang Yang.
Of course.
It was not because he was keeping a watch on Zhang Yang as he was afraid that the latter would carry out other investigations.
It was purely to take care of him…
Well…
It was true.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Zhang Yang took a sip of water and furrowed his brows. He then dug out the tea leaves which were stuck in the gap between his teeth.
“What tactic are you talking about?” Li Haoran asked.
“What else can it be?”
Zhang Yang sneered. “The Energy Warriors a.s.sociation! The mountain that they damaged is called Herculean Mountain. It is a land of masculine (yang) aura and very suitable to be a man’s cultivation real estate! Therefore, countless people moved there. Now that it has become Twin Bosom Mountain, a land of feminine (yin) aura, it is suitable for women to cultivate as well! People are starting to move there again! This has stirred up a huge media sensation and is already a hot trending topic on the Internet. These guys are really crafty!”
Li Haoran was speechless.
Oh.
It turned out that there was a media sensation effect…
Wait a minute
“What is cultivation real estate?”
Li Haoran was doubtful.
“You don’t know?
Zhang Yang was surprised. He then remembered that Li Haoran was very young and immediately explained, “Cultivation real estate is areas or properties that are conducive for cultivators to cultivate.
“Even in Tian Du City, cultivation speed is different in various places!
“Think about it.
“The same 4G mobile signal had different downloading speed in different areas, much less cultivation speed? This is the origin of cultivation real estate!
“If I don’t buy cultivation real estate, how are my children going to have a good starting point?!”
“Our children’s future cannot wait!”
“You’re not buying a cultivation site but your children’s future!”
“Cultivation real estate can be used by both you and your children!”
“The gap between Lu Ming and you lies in a cultivation site!”
There were advertis.e.m.e.nts for cultivation real estate everywhere.
“Oh.”
Li Haoran came to his senses.
It seemed…
He had certainly read similar advertis.e.m.e.nts at the bus stop.
Anyway.
Real estate had always been the magnate of their world. With the appearance of the Twin Bosom Mountain and the spamming of information about the land of feminine aura in their friends’ circle, the properties of that area were now in great demand.
“I would like to inquire about something.”
Li Haoran asked weakly. “Is it true that that place can increase the cultivation speed of ladies?”
“Of course not.”
Zhang Yang looked at him as if the latter was an idiot. “These are merely changes in exterior appearance. It’s feudal and superst.i.tious and some people believe in the saying ‘you are what you eat’…
“Of course.
“There are also some people who are as confused as you. They take other people’s words for it,” Zhang Yang said with contempt.
Li Haoran broke out in a sweat. That seemed to be the case.
Anyway.
Be it true or false, the popularity of the crossroads affiliated college had been adversely affected because of this!
“This won’t do!”
Zhang Yang clenched his pearly, white teeth which had just been fixed.
He had paid a huge price for this publicity work, having not slept for three days and three nights. Furthermore, he had lost nine teeth because his opponents had beaten him up!!!
If he were to lose… was he going to take it lying down?!
Furthermore…
Lu Ming was the one who had reimbursed him for costs of the tooth fillings!
Lu Ming was indeed someone whom he had nurtured in Qing Ming City. Lu Ming remembered their friends.h.i.+p and reimbursed him for this. How could he forsake such good intentions from Lu Ming?!
Therefore…
He had to ensure that the publicity campaign was in order!
Hence…
Zhang Yang pondered diligently and decided to widen the scope of the publicity!
The next day.
An article t.i.tled “A Woman Should Be Self-reliant!!! How a twelve-year-old girl invented abilities and conquered First Academy graduates!!!” went viral in the circle of friends and stunned everyone!
Twelve years old!
Invented abilities!
Conquered The First Academy graduates!
Thousands of graduates!
Each key word was sensational!
Hence…
This article became very popular.
It was even more popular than the article about Lu Ming. In the article, there was a detailed elaboration about a lady called Xiaobai, describing how she relied on herself after being abandoned by her father…
She joined the crossroads affiliated college and began to work hard under Lu Ming’s guidance…
In the end…
The outcome was the scene of her striking victory at the on-campus job fair!
“Wow… Is it true or not?”
“It’s true. Someone released a photograph taken at the on-campus job fair. Miss Xiaobai is very fearsome and aggressive!”
“That’s right. I saw that too.”
“Where did you guys see that?”
“It popped out once I opened the web browser. Actually, I saw it when the on-campus job fair ended a few days ago. It was t.i.tled — Video of the duel between expert cultivators. The young lady would be xx if she loses. I specially downloaded and watched it for two hours, only to discover that the young lady won in the end…”
Everyone was silent.
Anyway.
Miss Xiaobai became very famous with the release of videos of the on-campus job fair.
The videos became extremely popular.
Similar to Lu Ming’s situation, very soon, Xiaobai’s name appeared in some strange places, even in some places that people had not heard of.
For example…
A certain marketing for a product.
‘How do you know that you can’t before even trying? Xiaobai once said: Women who rely on parents are princesses, women who rely on spouses are concubines and women who rely on themselves are queens! Xiaobai succeeded after trying. You’re at the bottom of the ladder because you didn’t try!’
Another example was—
‘Xiaobai once said: Don’t bow, your crown will drop; Don’t cry, men will laugh.’
Another example was—
‘Someone said that they tend to run into problems when cultivating when using our cultivation elixirs!
But…
You have to remember that Xiaobai once said: The greater the problem you run into, the greater your future success! Why are you the only one who encountered problems during cultivation?
This is an opportunity!
Xiaobai also encountered these problems.
She seized the opportunity and resolved her problems. Therefore, she became the one and only queen! In that case, how many more cultivation elixirs do you need before you become a queen?!
At this very moment…
Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.
Xiaobai was silent.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Everyone from the a.s.sociation looked dumbstruck.
This was Zhang Yang, indeed…
Just as the popularity of the crossroads affiliated college was receding, it increased again. There was also a surge of popularity of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation and Xiaobai!
It was just that…
Was it really appropriate?
Everyone glanced and faced each other.
Their college certainly needed publicity but this kind of method…
Cough.
They did not know whether Xiaobai was happy about this. However, they knew that Zhang Yang, who had just applied for a huge reimburs.e.m.e.nt to fix his teeth and nurse his injuries, came to attend the meeting in his wheelchair…
Well…
Li Haoran was wheeling him.
“Sumone povoked me!
“I wen to de toilat and was beeten till I neerly fall into de pit!” Zhang Yang said furiously.
Everyone was speechless.
What did he mean?!
Cough, cough.
Li Haoran coughed. “Well… When Manager Zhang went to the Twin Bosom Mountain to enjoy the scenery. He was beaten unconscious by someone in the restroom. He was left like that…
“Have you reported this to the police?”
“Yes.”
“How’s the investigation going?”
“Same as the last time,” Li Haoran said expressionlessly.
Everyone was speechless.
Same as the last time…
Well…
It seemed that they could not find any more clues.
“Bam! Bam! Bam!”
Zhang Yang slammed on the screen, “Our opponents must have done this! This group of scoundrels! They must be jealous that our popularity exceeds them!”
Upon finis.h.i.+ng his words…
He wheeled himself away.
Everyone was speechless.
Lu Ming instinctively looked at Xiaobai, “Are you the one? Who did this?”
“Of course not!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
→_→
Alright.
What else could they do?
Who told Zhang Yang to use his own colleagues for publicity!!!
Forget it.
Lu Ming sighed.
The college entrance examination had just ended. There was still some time before the announcement of the results and the enrollment of the students. During this time, they just had to ensure that they do a good job with publicity!
Zhang Yang…
They would let him be.
He had already advertised Lu Ming and Xiaobai.
Lu Ming contemplated and felt that there was no longer anyone else in the a.s.sociation that he could harm. He would see how far Zhang Yang could go in promoting the affiliated crossroads college!
Publicity — Student enrollment — Quota filled — Breakthrough!
These were Lu Ming’s next steps.
However, this could not be rushed.
Although he was anxious about getting stuck at peak four-star now, Lu Ming could take the chance to revise his knowledge and also do a comprehensive study of four-star and five-star cards.
He could also guide the new disciples through lessons.
Speaking of this…
“How’s their learning progress?”
Lu Ming looked at Xiaobai.
Lu Ming hoped that this batch of new disciples could skip the phase of the birth of the card spirit as soon as possible and enter the vocation switch phase directly. They could then catch the card spirit afterward!
After all…
The card spirit was a mistake right from the start!!!
“It’s very good!”
Xiaobai felt very happy. “Nine disciples are already at the phase of the birth of the card spirit!”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
d.a.m.n!
Nine?!
Is this for real or not?
Whoos.h.!.+
Lu Ming could no longer sit still. It was an accident the last time. There were nine this time… It was unlikely to be an accident! Therefore, it was really possible for card spirits to appear!
In that case…
Besides Xiaobai, there was finally a second batch of naturally born card spirits?!
Hence…
Lu Ming sat in Xiaobai’s cla.s.ses and saw the disciples’ card spirits. He fell silent instantly.
d.a.m.n it!
All the nine card spirits were born in the wild!
This went to say that the parents of these disciples could not help but a.s.sist their children when they heard that other people had already given birth to card spirits!
Is this a joke?!
As expected…
Nowadays…
One would not know how wealthy their family was unless they gave themselves a hard push…
Afterward…
The remaining students became anxious.
It was impossible for them to give up at this point in time!
Everyone was a genius from the First Academy and had top-notch talents.
On what basis you can give birth to a card spirit and I can’t?!
Hence…
The remaining 10 students recited more diligently and read loudly in the cla.s.sroom all the time. They even recited in cadence, attempting to create resonance.
“Original Card!
“Original Card!
“You have already grown up!
“You have to learn how to cultivate, do grocery shopping and to provide a.s.sistance!”
…
Hence…
Three days later.
Under such a learning atmosphere and stiff compet.i.tion, the remaining 10 disciples had also given birth to card spirits!
Well… All of them were born in the wild.
Lu Ming was speechless.
d.a.m.n it. Why do you guys have that much money!
That is right.
You guys are geniuses!
Both your brains and talent are adequate!
However, spirit bodies are very expensive!
In order to hide from everyone and awaken the card spirit in a ‘natural’ way, one had to purchase the pure spirit bodies that Zhao Yunshan bought!
This was the most expensive breed of spirit bodies!
Why do those guys have that much money?!
Some disciples had wealthy family backgrounds and it was normal that the family was willing to spend a huge sum of money. What about the remaining disciples with ordinary family backgrounds?!
Something was not quite right!
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
Therefore, he paid special attention to a disciple who had lost several pounds of weight over the past few days. After the cla.s.s, he tailed him with his shadow quietly.
Afterward…
He saw that disciple returning to his bedroom, opening his school bag and taking out a maidservant costume!!!
Lu Ming was speechless.
