What was the Professional Airbender Association?
Once upon a time, there was a powerful cultivator who created the ability to kill his enemies with his aura. He dominated the world and became famous. In the end, he reached seven-star and founded the Professional Airbender Association, attempting to bring this profession to greater heights!
Airbenders were different from traditional Elementalists. They did not target a certain element but …
All the gases!
They had the ability to control all the gases!
Theoretically …
If they succeeded, this association would be one of the most powerful associations! Unfortunately, due to the slow development of the ability, it was eventually eliminated …
Right now, this association was in decline.
Although some novices joined this association one after another, it was a pity that it was no longer as glorious as before.
"It's a pity."
Even Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
Killing with aura …
In theory, it sounded very cool.
It was a pity …
Regardless of the association, if they wanted to be successful, they had to keep improving, researching and perfecting themselves. Otherwise, they would be abandoned by the times!
"They actually still exist?"
Li Haoran was surprised.
One had to know …
Most of the associations had quietly disappeared in the long river of history.
"Of course."
The staff looked at the information of this association. "This association is very smart. They know that their research might not be able to keep up with the standards of the public in a short period of time. Therefore, they developed the use of aura into their daily lives and set up a few companies called New Energy Gas Co. Ltd.
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
He felt as though something was stuck in his throat but he did not know how to get it out.
New Energy Company …
Sure enough, they knew about survival of the fittest.
"However …
"These guys are ambitious. They have a company and earned some money. When they see such an opportunity, they will naturally join in the fun. Although they are the weakest association among these associations, they still have Six Stars. Are you sure you want to challenge them? "
The staff looked solemn.
"Yes!"
Lu Ming was certain.
"Master …"
Li Haoran was somewhat worried.
Challenge …
Would it really work?!
After all …
Master was too young!
Although he was extremely talented, he needed time! If it was a battle between the higher-ups of the association, Lu Ming would have to face the big shots who had been cultivating for decades. How could he possibly defeat them?!
"Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Lu Ming had a calm gaze.
As the master, he had to do something.
…
The next day.
On the rooftop.
Under the witness of the Human Resources Department, Lu Ming and the rest made an appointment with a cultivator from the Professional Airbender Association. He was dressed in a greyish-blue uniform that was stained with oil, and he held a wrench in his hand.
？？？
Lu Ming was dumbfounded. Wasn't this still a car mechanic?!
"Oh, sorry."
When they saw Lu Ming looking at them, they immediately put away the wrench in embarrassment. "A few customers had a gas leak just now, so we went to fix it."
Lu Ming: "…"
Alright.
If you say yes, then yes.
"Ahem."
The staff interrupted their conversation. "Are you all ready?"
"Yes."
"We're all affiliated with a small association, so let's cut to the chase."
The Qi Cultivator said calmly, "Same old rules. The disciples take one round, the masters take one round, and the higher-ups will decide the result based on their performance.
"Alright."
Lu Ming agreed.
"Then let me do it first."
"Xiaobei, come here."
The Qi Cultivators discussed for a while and sent a young man.
The young man looked to be in his early twenties. However, he looked at Lu Ming with a strange and mocking gaze.
"Old Zhao, long time no see."
The young man called Xiaobei had a spurious smile.
"You know him?"
Lu Ming looked at Zhao Yunshan.
"Yes."
Zhao Yunshan took a deep breath. "Liu Qiangbei, a classmate from the same class."
"Did I say wrongly?"
Liu Qiangbei smiled playfully. "I think we used to be classmates. After all, I graduated last year and you are still repeating a year in school."
"…"
Zhao Yunshan was silent.
After a long while …
He raised his head and looked at Lu Ming. "Master, let me fight this battle."
"Are you confident?"
Lu Ming asked.
"No."
Zhao Yunshan clenched both his fists.
He wanted to say yes, but …
No!
This was because he could sense that this former classmate of his was now a Six Stars! Even if he chose to re-cultivate as an Qi Cultivator, he was already a Six Stars!
And he …
He was still a Four Stars!
There was a huge gap of two levels!
"Way to go."
Lu Ming did not say much. He just patted him on the shoulder.
Hence …
The surrounding people gradually retreated, leaving only Zhao Yunshan and Liu Qiangbei.
"Old Zhao, do you really want to fight with me?"
Liu Qiangbei's gaze was full of sarcasm. "Back in school, you were so arrogant and had a bunch of lackeys with you. But what happened in the end? You were still eliminated.
"I didn't expect that after two years, you would set up your own association for fun.
"Tsk tsk …"
Liu Qiangbei sighed. "You disappoint me too much."
Once upon a time …
They were two extremes of the same class.
He was born in a poor family but he was very talented. Zhao Yunshan was not very talented but he came from a rich family. Both of them represented the strongest combat ability in the class!
They fought for a few years!
Fortunately …
In the end, he won.
"Wealth can bring you convenience and resources, but it can't bring you talent!
"This is especially so for cultivation. As one's ability increases, the effect that wealth can bring will be weaker and weaker. In the end, it will just be a joke."
Liu Qiangbei said calmly, "I graduated last year and used a year to change vocation. Right now, I have already reached Six Stars and have more powerful abilities!
"What about you?"
His gaze swept across Zhao Yunshan and he frowned slightly. "There are actually only Four Stars left …
"True enough …
"Your talent …"
He shook his head.
Changing vocation was only suitable for talented people!
Zhao Yunshan had not graduated and he wanted to change vocation. Moreover, he was a Sword Card Master. Was he courting death? It had been a year and he was actually weaker than before!
There was a huge gap of two levels. Zhao Yunshan was like an ant in front of him.
"…"
Zhao Yunshan only listened quietly.
Buzz —
Xiao-Xiaohou shone in his hands.
He was well aware of his combat ability. He was a peak Four Stars and he could unleash the prowess of a peak five-star. However, this was far from enough, especially when facing this guy!
Therefore, he had to be stronger.
"Let's end this."
Seeing that Zhao Yunshan did not even have the intention to retort, Liu Qiangbei instantly felt bored. His enemy from the past did not even dare to retort?
Shush!
He lifted his hand.
Bang!
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
The strength of an Airbender was that they could control gases to attack! A beam of rotating aura that was condensed to the extreme suddenly spewed out like a propeller!
The murderous intent was awe-inspiring!
"It's coming."
Zhao Yunshan swept his gaze across.
This power …
Six Stars! He could not withstand it!
However, interestingly, this beam of aura attacked at a uniform speed …
Shush!
The core ability of a Sword Card Master, Tai Chi Eight, flashed across Zhao Yunshan's mind!
Uniform speed …
Zhao Yunshan suddenly aimed at that beam of gas and threw the Original Card.
Bang!
A terrifying aura suddenly surged into the Original Card.
Sealing!
An aura suddenly disappeared …
Materialization!
A crystal clear Original Card condensed in Zhao Yunshan's hands. In the Original Card, a portion of the Six Stars Airbender's aura was sealed. He then launched a backhand attack without any hesitation!
Buzz —
The Six Stars Aura surged again.
Continue to seal! Continue to materialize!
Hence …
The spiral aura attack that Liu Qiangbei shot out was actually split into segments by Zhao Yunshan and it directly blasted in front of him.
"What is this?"
Liu Qiangbei's expression changed drastically.
Bang!
Bang!
Beams of familiar aura were actually blasted away on the spot.
Shush!
There was total silence in the surroundings.
Even the Airbenders and staff looked up at this scene in disbelief. Zhao Yunshan actually almost killed Liu Qiangbei with the ability of a Four Stars?
This guy …
Pfft!
Liu Qiangbei spat out a mouthful of blood, staring coldly at Zhao Yunshan.
"Very good.
It seems that it is time to show you the true professional ability of an Airbender! "
Liu Qiangbei stood up.
He waved his hands and then carried a … gas can on his shoulder.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Ming was taken aback. "Can this thing be used as well?"
"Of course."
Liu Qiangbei was proud of himself. "Regardless of the competition or the challenge, as long as it has my energy aura, I can use it! The gas in this gas can is accumulated through my cultivation over a long period of time. Of course, I can use it! This is the greatest advantage of an Airbender — storage! "
Everyone from the Sword Card Master Association was speechless.
"Are you sure it can be used?"
Lu Ming looked at the staff.
"Yes."
The staff was certain.
"Alright."
Lu Ming sighed. "Since that is the case, there is no more suspense."
"Of course."
Liu Qiangbei was proud of himself.
Bang!
A terrifying aura was condensing in the gas can.
There was no doubt that the gas that spurted out from the gas can was extremely terrifying. This was his trump card as a Six Stars Airbender!
It was just that …
"Sigh."
Lu Ming sighed. "Of all the things we can do, why do we have to compete with a Sword Card Master in stocking up?"
“？”
Liu Qiangbei had yet to come to his senses.
Click!
Zhao Yunshan crushed one of the purest Six Stars spirit bodies at his crotch. He prioritized the energy in his body and then opened the card bag coldly.
Shush!
A massive number of cards were thrown into the air. Afterward …
Bang!
A strange and mysterious light swept across the ground.
All the cards that he had created since he re-cultivated were detonated. The terrifying energy almost drowned Liu Qiangbei in front of him instantly …
Drowned …
After a long time …
When the lights disappeared, Liu Qiangbei was already on the verge of death …
Shush!
The world was silent.
The staff was speechless.
The Airbender cultivators were speechless.
Their mouths were wide open and they could not come to their senses for a long time. Damn it. It turned out that a Sword Card Master could stock up cards as well? If they had known earlier, they would not have competed with him!
Wait a minute.
If it was Zhao Yunshan …
"You guys …"
The Airbenders looked toward Lu Ming.
"Oh, you're talking about that."
Lu Ming patted his card bag without batting an eyelid. It was filled with a pile of cards. Xiao Bai even put down the bag on her back, making people's hearts palpitate.
The air elementalists were shocked.
？？？
Damn, what the hell is this profession?!
How was he going to play?
"What should we do?"
The air elementalists looked at each other and made a decision. "Let's call him president."
"I don't think that's a good idea. After all, Lu Ming is young …"
"Are you going to take the blame if I lose?"
"Alright, I'll go call the president."
"…"
After a long while …
Using the excuse of taking Liu Qiangbei away for treatment, they went out for a while. When they returned, it was obvious that there was an older cultivator with them.
It was an old man.
His hair was white and he wore a smile on his face. However, the aura around him caused people's hearts to palpitate. Even the staff members had grave expressions as they looked at this person. This strength …
Six Stars Peak!
They were second only to seven-star powerhouses!
This was a big shot in the truest sense!
He didn't expect that the Airbender Association would actually send their president!
"This is interesting."
The old man's expression was indifferent as he looked at Lu Ming. "Young friend, you guys have won this round. How about we play the next round?"
Bang!
He took a step forward.
A terrifying thought suddenly descended. Everyone's countenance changed drastically and they retreated.
The majesty of Six Stars Peak!
No one could stop him!
However …
This terrifying thought naturally dissipated in front of Lu Ming.
"Sure."
Lu Ming looked calm.
"You're actually fine?"
The smile in the old man's eyes deepened.
Not bad.
He was a good seedling.
He could actually resist his Six Stars Mental Strength. If he were to be accepted by the Airbender Association …
"Wait a minute."
Lu Ming suddenly said, "The rest of you had better leave."
"I don't think that's necessary."
The staff member scratched his head.
The venue for this challenge was the rooftop of the Human Resources Department building! This place could withstand any attack below seven-star!
What could happen to him?
Even this old man …
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
The old man smiled faintly.
It was not a problem to deal with Lu Ming.
"No."
Lu Ming shook his head. "I'm afraid that I'll hurt the others."
The staff member was speechless.
Alright.
The president of Six Stars Peak was not worried. What was Lu Ming worried about?
However, since Lu Ming had taken the initiative to request it, they had no other choice. After discussion, they decided that only Lu Ming and the president of the Airbender Association would be left here!
Nearby.
Two buildings were next to each other.
Lu Ming and the old man stood in the middle while the rest of them stood on the rooftop next door. They were less than a hundred meters away from each other. To them, it did not affect them.
Shush!
There was a faint energy fluctuation.
The surrounding atmosphere had become tense.
It was almost time.
The staff member turned on the loudspeaker skillfully. "Television, refrigerator, washing machine …"
？？？
Shush!
Everyone looked over simultaneously.
"Sorry."
The staff member's face instantly turned red. He pressed the button several times before he pressed the automatic mode. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm off work. I did a part-time job and forgot to switch it off."
Everyone was speechless.
"It's okay. Let's continue."
The staff member coughed. Looking at the Lu Ming duo who was ready to continue, he announced loudly, "The challenge starts now!"
…
Shush!
The old man casually waved his hand.
Bang!
The void trembled.
A cage made of gas suddenly appeared.
Seal the rooftop of the building!
Seal the surrounding ground!
Lock down Lu Ming!
Swoosh!
Lu Ming tried to blast out a Sword Aura but was unable to move it.
"This strength …"
Everyone's heart trembled.
The president was actually that powerful?
It was really …
"Master!"
Li Haoran and the rest were worried.
Damn it!
How could this old man be so powerful?!
They thought that if they were to go all out, they would be able to reach the threshold of Six Stars. However, under the might of this old man, they actually had no way of fighting back!
They felt somewhat upset.
Ultimately, their master had to face all of this!
"…"
Xiao Bai watched the competition seriously.
She thought for a moment and looked at her trapped master. She carefully took out a pile of cards from her school bag. If something happened to her master, she would help him.
At the back.
Zhao Yunshan also watched coldly.
In his hand, a card that he had never seen before was already in his hand.
He could lose the challenge!
However …
Lu Ming had to be safe!
This was the belief of everyone in the Sword Card Master Association.
…
"Too weak."
The old man's expression was indifferent.
Lu Ming's strength was after all only at Four Stars!
It was impossible to break his Heaven and Earth Cage!
"Do we still need others to evacuate?"
The old man felt that it was ridiculous. "Let's surrender."
"…"
Lu Ming only looked at him with a sullen expression.
After a long time …
There was a sigh.
Lu Ming felt very helpless. "Why do big shots like you have to posture before making a move? Have you ever thought that it will be very awkward if you fail to posture? "
At this point …
He raised his hands slightly.
Buzz —
Crystal clear lights flashed.
Swoosh!
A card materialized in his hands. It was crystal clear and every line contained terrifying power. This was the function of Lu Ming's Original Card!
"Oh?"
The old man squinted his eyes. This card …
Since it could make Lu Ming so arrogant, the effect of this card might be extraordinary. Therefore, he was prepared …
Afterward …
Shush!
Lu Ming waved his hands.
A sense of danger that made one's heart palpitate suddenly descended. The old man looked down at his feet and was horrified to discover that the building under his feet …
It had actually disappeared!!!
？？？
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Disappeared?!
How could a building disappear?!
Buzz —
Faint lights and shadows condensed.
"Hello."
Lu Ming stepped on the Original Card, floating in the air.
"Oh no."
The old man's expression changed drastically.
Bang!
Bang!
He frantically controlled the surrounding gas and tried to float. However, he did not last long and eventually fell down …
Bang!
There was a deafening sound from the ground.
Half of the old man's body directly pierced into the foundation, smashing out a huge pit.
Lu Ming won.
Shush!
There was total silence around.
Everyone was dumbstruck …
Crap …
What the hell was this?!
"President, are you alright?"
"President, please don't die!"
The Airbenders dashed over with tears in their eyes.
〈〈﹏〈〈
It was merely a challenge. Why did he have to be so ruthless?
"…"
In fact, Lu Ming was also dumbstruck. He had prepared many means of combat. The Mover Card was merely the first step. However, he did not expect that the old man would be defeated!
This …
He did not expect this either?!
"Shouldn't Airbenders be able to control the air?"
Lu Ming was extremely surprised.
"…"
The Airbenders were silent.
Controlling the air was their ultimate goal!
If they could really control the air, they would not have declined!
The ability that they had developed could only control and guide a portion of the gas. Therefore, although the president floated in the air for a while, he eventually fell down.
"President!"
"President …"
They dragged the old man with much difficulty.
"Let me do it."
Lu Ming sighed.
He and Xiao-Xiaojian were experienced in digging people out. Therefore, the two of them worked together and dug the president out of the foundation pit in minutes …
"I-I'm fine."
The old man's eyes were still twinkling with stars.
At the critical moment, he activated the powerful defense of a peak Six Star and withstood the damage from the fall. However, the impact of the fall …
He was still in a daze from the impact and he was in a daze.
In the end …
The Airbenders supported the president and left. The scene looked extremely miserable.
"I have a feeling that I have done something bad."
Lu Ming sighed.
It was true.
This was clearly a proper battle. Why did he feel guilty?
"Master, don't blame yourself."
Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice, "They are not powerful enough. It is normal for them to lose. I know that you are kind. However, if you let them win, they will be in a worse state when they encounter a ruthless person."
"That's right. Master is not wrong."
Xiao Bai cheered her master on.
"Sigh. Perhaps I am too kind."
Lu Ming sighed.
Sigh. He did not know why he felt guilty …
However …
The expressions of the staff next to him turned increasingly ugly.
Damn it!
To hell with being kind!
To hell with consoling!
Damn it. You guys won the challenge against the Airbenders but did the Human Resources Department offend you?! What about our building?! What about our headquarters?!
…
