Tian Du City.
At the entrance of the Sword Card Master Association.
The sun was shining brightly.
The Swordsman could not help but raise their hands to block the sun. They looked dumbstruck at Lu Ming who was in front of them. What was this?
T-becoming a Buddha on the spot?
Of course.
It did not matter if it was stylish or not. There were many cultivators with unique styles these days. There were even celebrity cultivators who wore suspenders and lace with holes!!!
Did anyone care?
No.
The point was —
That sword was gone.
The dignified phenomenal swordplay actually melted under the sunlight!
This …
How could that be possible?
Shush!
There was pin-drop silence all around.
This …
Was Lu Ming that powerful?!
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. The dignified peak Six Star Swordsman could not even withstand one move with the enhancement of the phenomenal swordplay!!!
At this very moment …
On the Internet.
The cultivators who saw this scene through live broadcasts and various channels were excited. Their gazes instinctively landed on Lu Ming.
He defeated a peak Six Star with one move!
The terrifying combat ability of a seven-star was undoubtedly on display at this moment!
"He is very powerful!"
"He is indeed the dignified president."
Everyone was amazed.
However …
They were unaware of something.
At this moment, Lu Ming's expression was very strange as well …
Oh.
It turned out that this was the Sunlight Card.
The so-called enhancement was to bring a small sun into one's body and let it emit light?
And …
The position where it appeared …
Lu Ming touched the back of his head, feeling strange.
He had this question when he watched Journey to the West. Did the Buddha-like mighty figures not feel hot at the back of their heads … This thing was like a heater …
However …
The effect of the Sunlight Card was far beyond his imagination!
Under the sunlight, all the shadows melted!
It was the same for the Sword Shadow!
The Sword Shadow was not an ordinary shadow. Therefore, the Sunlight Card …
It was amazing!
Of course.
It might also be the effect of the combination of the sun, moon and stars!
In that case …
All that was left was to defeat this group of useless Swordsman! However, just as Lu Ming was about to strike, he suddenly thought of a problem.
"Xiao-Xiaojian.
"Eh?"
"Have you ever watched My Lad?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's fine, hehe."
…
At this moment.
The Swordsman also regained his senses.
He himself …
Defeated.
His most powerful sword couldn't stop Lu Ming?!
He was indignant.
He had painstakingly bought a ticket to come here!
In the past few days, he'd painstakingly cultivated the extraordinary sword technique every single day, and he'd long since mastered this sword technique thoroughly for this moment. So, how could he retreat without fighting?!
"I don't believe it!"
He roared angrily and charged forward again. "Eat my sword!"
Xiu!
Sword light flashed.
This time, he used all his strength!
Hum –
The extraordinary swordsmanship appeared again, and the terrifying shadow appeared. As it approached Lu Ming, it began to melt, but this time, it was much slower …
Very slowly …
Very slowly …
Bang!
There was a crisp sound.
The sword shadows overlapped instantly, and the sunlight disappeared. Xiao-Xiaojian was instantly defeated.
Puff!
Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood.
Eh?
Everyone could not help but widen their eyes. Wait a minute … Lu Ming was defeated?!
They were dumbstruck. Was this a joke?! Just as you were about to kill a peak six-star instantly and you were about to kill everyone in the area …
He was actually defeated!!!
Why didn't he follow the script?!
"Haha!"
The Swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly. "Indeed, my first move was your limit. When I gained a deeper understanding of it, you couldn't block it anymore!"
"You …"
Lu Ming was somewhat shocked. "My Buddha's Illumination can easily block a peak Six Stars and above swordsmanship. Ordinary swordsmanship won't be able to hit me!
"Unless …
"Extraordinary swordsmanship!"
Lu Ming was shocked. "Don't tell me that you've completely mastered the Shadow Sword?"
Shadow Sword.
This was the title that he used.
After all, he could not possibly use the title of Moon Shadow Sword.
"Of course."
The Swordsman was proud.
Humph!
Although this sword was created by you, I'm very sorry. Only in the hands of a Swordsman can this sword unleash its true power!
"I see."
Lu Ming understood now. "This is indeed extraordinary swordsmanship, Shadow Sword! Unexpectedly, I defeated a peak Six Stars and was conferred the title of Seven Stars. However, I was defeated by this sword!
"However …
"I heard that extraordinary swordsmanship is very expensive! How can you guys afford it?! "
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"It's very simple."
The Swordsman pursed his lips. "It's a loan. Our association can handle the down payment of 10%."
"I see."
Lu Ming exclaimed. "Therefore, you only need to pay 10% and you can purchase the legendary extraordinary swordsmanship from the Swordsman Association! Your association's benefits are really good! "
"Of course."
The Swordsman raised his head proudly.
Humph!
How can the benefits of the Swordsman Association be comparable to yours?!
"I've lost this battle."
Lu Ming sighed. "However, I was defeated by this sword and not by you. Sooner or later, I will fight my way back!"
Hence …
Lu Ming turned to leave.
At this moment.
The challenge ended with Lu Ming's defeat.
As for the title of Seven Stars and the Swordsman's fame, it would depend on the subsequent evaluation.
However …
The Swordsman furrowed his brows.
Although he had defeated Lu Ming smoothly … he had a feeling that … something was not quite right?
…
Tian Du City.
The law enforcement agencies.
Naturally, they were concerned about the Swordsman's challenge. After all, they were peak Six Stars. They could not be allowed to act recklessly.
Of course.
Challenging Lu Ming …
Hehe.
The chief of operations merely smiled.
Why didn't you challenge that guy?!
Although Lu Ming only had five-star combat abilities, he had no doubt that if you wanted to challenge Lu Ming, Lu Ming would have a hundred ways to kill you!!!
This was a suppression of intelligence.
There was no comparison.
However …
Even he did not expect Lu Ming to be defeated!
“???”
"Lu Ming actually lost?"
The chief was puzzled.
Given Lu Ming's style, if he could not win in swordplay, if he could not win in cards, he would use his trump card. If he could not win in cards, he would start to cheat …
Lost?
How could that be possible?
The chief was filled with doubts. He had a hunch that something was not quite right.
However …
No one cared about their doubts.
The Swordsman won the challenge. Seven Stars Quasi Lu Ming was defeated by the Swordsman who came to challenge them. This naturally caused a huge sensation!
Especially the first batch of donkey fighting hosts who came to challenge them!
They were very popular!
Countless people came to watch!
Of course.
After watching …
"Crap! That's amazing swordplay! "
"Right, right, right. I heard that it's a phenomenal swordplay. It's very powerful!"
"It's no wonder …"
"That's not all. I heard that the down payment is only 10%!"
"Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. They said it on the spot!"
"Crap! I'm tempted too … "
"Buy, buy, buy."
The netizens were amazed.
At this moment.
The phenomenal swordplay, Shadow Sword, had officially become famous. Within a day, the name of Shadow Sword swept across the country and reached the ears of countless Swordsman.
Most importantly —
It was cheap!
The down payment was only 10%!
Hence …
Some Swordsman who had lost wanted to regain their pride when they saw the news.
Some Swordsman who had won wanted to become more powerful when they saw the news.
The sales of Shadow Sword increased at an incredible speed. It had almost become the standard swordplay for all Six Stars Swordsman!
The Swordsman's strength had increased tremendously!
There was no other choice.
The phenomenal swordplay had become the standard swordplay. Who could beat them?!
The Saber Cultivators who were initially on par with the Swordsman were beaten to a pulp. They did not dare to do anything for the past two days. The Swordsman Association's reputation had increased tremendously!
The Swordsman Association's ranking had risen by one spot!
This was of great significance!
…
"Not bad."
The Swordsman seniors were filled with gratitude.
They …
They had finally risen to power.
The Swordsman were already outstanding among those of the same level. Right now, they could easily challenge those who were of a higher level! In that case, it seemed that it was not wrong for those few children to challenge Lu Ming!
Look, the results were immediate!
Hence …
The Swordsman were also feeling good until the bank came knocking on their door …
"Hello.
"The Swordsman Association has seriously overspent their loan …"
The bank said.
"Impossible!"
The Swordsman instinctively objected. "Although the loan is increasing, our funds are also increasing. How can we overspend!!!"
The loans that the Swordsman Association approved early in the morning were calculated according to the cash flow ratio.
It was impossible to overspend!
However …
When they asked the finance department, they were horrified to discover …
Loans …
They had seriously overspent.
Not only had they used up this year's loan quota, but they would also be gone next year!!! According to the information, almost all the loans were used for —
Shadow Sword.
"How could this be?!"
"I remember that the down payment for Shadow Sword is only 10%?! With this 10%, how can we overspend? Is the bank cheating us?! "
The Swordsman were very puzzled.
Right then.
The finance department said weakly, "Well … We won't get a single cent of the Shadow Sword's profits. According to the initial agreement, all the profits from Shadow Sword belong to Lu Ming."
Shush!
There was silence in the association.
The Swordsman seniors' expressions froze.
All …
Belonged to Lu Ming?
Eh?
The Swordsman came to their senses.
This was because there had never been such a special situation for decades. Hence, they subconsciously did not have this concept. If that was the case, did it mean that …
Ss — —
The Swordsman's expressions changed drastically.
Wait a minute.
If that was the case, the down payment was 10% and the loan was for ten years, the Swordsman would spend all their money to purchase the phenomenal swordplay and almost all the profits would fall into the hands of Lu Ming …
This meant that …
The Swordsman would have to work for Lu Ming for the next ten years?!
???
The Swordsman's faces turned green.
"Hurry!
"Stop the sales of Shadow Sword immediately!
"There's no need to. The loan quota has been used up. The Swordsman can't afford it this year anyway …"
"…"
The Swordsman were having a mental breakdown.
This …
What was this?!
Their loans were not because of Shadow Sword!
The Swordsman Association's loan agreement basically allowed for all phenomenal swordplays!
Shadow Sword was merely one of the many phenomenal swordplays in the Swordsman Association. It was no different from the other swordplays! No one knew why it had suddenly become so popular!
Lu Ming …
They suddenly thought of that challenge.
They suddenly thought of Lu Ming's title as a seven-star quasi. They thought of how Lu Ming easily defeated a peak Six Stars in seconds and was defeated by another in seconds …
Oh.
Crap.
That Swordsman finally understood what was going on.
Damn it!
He seemed to have … been scammed …
…
At this very moment …
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was lying lazily on the rocking chair.
In front of him was a cup of calming liquid that was filled with rich energy. This was a precious liquid used to stabilize the energy of Six Stars. Every drop was extremely expensive.
Under normal circumstances …
It was considered a fortuitous encounter to be able to take a sip of this calming liquid.
Well …
Lu Ming put down the teacup, picked up the teapot and finished it in one gulp.
Cool!
"Haoran."
"Yes."
"How is this calming liquid?"
"At present, there is only one of the best stabilized energy liquids at the Six Stars level."
"Oh …"
Lu Ming sighed. "It's not easy for the disciples of the association. How about this? I'll give each of the children a bucket during the festival."
Bucket??
Li Haoran was puzzled.
"Also.
"Looking at the time, it's about time to pay the property fees?"
Lu Ming asked calmly.
Their huge association spanned across two streets and the property fees were ridiculously high. Therefore, the association had never paid the fees …
"Yes."
Li Haoran responded.
"Pay for ten years first."
Lu Ming said coldly.
"Yes."
Li Haoran smiled bitterly. What else could he say?
However …
Speaking of money, he thought of something. "Master, the publicity department has been asking for operating funds. Senior Zhang Yang has come to look for us a few times, saying that the hospital fees for the scam are not enough …"
"Cough."
Lu Ming coughed.
Oh.
Right.
Senior Zhang Yang had been promoting without any capital … They could not continue to scam!
"Approved."
Lu Ming waved his hands. "Pay for ten years first."
"Huh?"
Li Haoran was between laughter and tears.
"Also.
"The aunties in the canteen and cleaning aunties have been working very hard … In that case, we'll give them ten months of salary first. Although we don't have a wolf culture, we still have to give them a wolf wage."
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
Li Haoran was speechless.
After a long time …
The Sword Card Master Association was overjoyed.
The benefits of all the staff had been greatly increased!
All the disciples' resources and rewards had been greatly increased!
Heh.
Lu Ming stood quietly in the office, looking at the joyful faces of the disciples. He smiled faintly. The lives of the rich were simple and plain …
And boring.
"Sigh."
Lu Ming suddenly thought of something.
"Haoran."
"Yes."
"I heard that the Swordsman Association can no longer afford the loans?"
Lu Ming said calmly.
"Yes."
Li Haoran replied.
"Oh."
Lu Ming said kindly, "What do you think if we provide loans to those children without interest? Humans always have their own difficulties. If I can help, I'll do it. "
Loans?
Li Haoran's expression changed drastically.
"Calm down!
"Master, calm down!"
Li Haoran held onto Lu Ming with all his might.
What a joke!
Loans?
Loans to Swordsman who wanted to buy Shadow Swords?
They weren't stupid. They didn't realize this problem in the past, but now … they would be beaten to death, didn't they?!
A — alright.
Lu Ming was filled with regrets.
Sigh.
Who asked him to be so kind-hearted …
"I can't bear to see these children suffer."
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
"…"
Li Haoran lowered his head and pretended that he did not hear this. He looked silently at the corn that had just grown on his feet.
"Haoran.
"Yes.
"The life of a rich person is so boring …"
Lu Ming sighed. "There is no goal, no pursuit, no motivation to create cards. I really envy the time when I was poor … I was busy every day. It was very fulfilling."
"…"
Li Haoran was expressionless.
Although it was somewhat disrespectful, he did not know why he had the urge to beat someone up.
→_→
"Master.
"This is not a sustainable income."
Li Haoran reminded him. "The Swordsman Association might reduce the price of Shadow Swords. Even if they don't, they will not provide loans to Shadow Swords."
"It's okay. I can already hold on for a long time."
Lu Ming was very calm.
Hey, this is extra income!
It was purely extra income!
It was useless for him to be a seven-star quasi. He was already very satisfied that he could exchange a so-called failed challenge for a massive income.
Well …
As for the future, he would think about it in the future.
"If the disciples of the Swordsman Association run out of money, don't we have other associations?"
Lu Ming said.
Li Haoran was speechless.
Did you hear that? Is that what Master is saying?
…
