The next day.
Early morning.
The screening for the deep-sea nation began. The Nine Star Alliance allowed all grandmasters to go through a simple assessment to collect the protection ball and enter the deep-sea nation.
Well …
The assessment was a test of one's consciousness.
After all …
Everyone was at the bottom of the sea and it was not convenient for them to fight.
Therefore …
The battle in the deep-sea nation this time might turn into a battle of thoughts … Both parties would be in their own protection ball and they would fight with their thoughts and so on.
Oh …
There was also the supply of energy.
A battle of thoughts would also consume energy.
To pass the assessment, one had to meet two basic criteria: 1. The energy quality must be up to standard to ensure the operation of the protection ball. 2. The mental strength must be strong to ensure combat effectiveness.
That was all.
However, Lu Ming was very curious about this assessment. Therefore, he secretly disguised himself and helped his disciples to take a look at the assessment. Afterward …
They failed.
As the energy quality was too low, they were eliminated on the spot.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
Why did you have to do that, right?
Don't you have any idea what your energy quality is like now?
…
Right then.
Buzz —
His wristband communication device suddenly vibrated.
Lu Ming took a look. It was a message from the 'I'm Still Young, I Can Come Again' group.
"Lu Ming."
"Yes."
"Get your disciples to wait a little longer. Let's find out more about the deep-sea nation."
Wu Jiu said.
Eh?
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised. He still had to touch it?
This was not a clubhouse. Why did he have to touch it for no reason?
"Yes."
"For safety."
Wu Jiu sighed. "Think about it. If all the grandmasters in the world go in and the other side explodes the sea instantly …"
"…"
Lu Ming paused for a moment. It was really possible.
Especially when he looked at the colorful sea that had been detonated countless times. It was just that each time, it was just that the unlucky ones were the crabs.
But this time …
And right then.
A cultivator in the group who was marked as rubbish 8-star said, "The protection ball is customized according to the current environment. If the environment changes, it might not be able to withstand it."
“？？？”
Lu Ming was stunned. "Chu Xiao?"
"Yes."
The rubbish 8-star sent a smiling emoji. "I was dragged in at the last minute."
Lu Ming: "…"
It seemed that this person had really angered the summoner.
Hmm …
Judging from the name, it wasn't just anger. The Summoner might have also gone through the process of being Taunted at first, then being Harmonized into a Taunt, and then trying to think of a way to avoid it.
Tsk.
It wasn't easy.
In short, the screening of the Deep Sea Nation's quota would take some time. During this time, they could figure out the Deep Sea Nation and see where the limits of this place were.
"What if they keep making trouble?"
"Impossible."
Trash 8-star said, "No matter how chaotic the environment is, there is a limit to what it can bear. Once that limit is reached, a balance will be formed. In a state of equilibrium, ordinary damage can't be changed at all. When the time comes, we can use that environment to slightly modify the protective sphere and we can step into the Deep Sea Kingdom. "
"Alright."
Lu Ming expressed that he understood.
After a long while …
A thousand protective spheres of different parameters and a thousand river crabs from the R&D department once again set out on a journey. This was probably the largest expedition the human world had ever undertaken.
Hmm …
Everyone was filled with anticipation. "I hope we can succeed this time."
"What if it fails?"
"Then there should be dinner."
"…"
…
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the large-scale invasion began.
True enough.
In just a moment, streaks of dark green things suddenly exploded in the sea.
Oh …
It was highly toxic.
The protective spheres vibrated and a batch of protective spheres was destroyed on the spot, forcibly sending the river crabs back. Fortunately, the remaining protective spheres were barely stabilized.
However, not long after, flames appeared in the deep sea and disappeared instantly.
Bang!
The temperature of the Deep Sea Nation increased again!
Another batch of protective spheres was destroyed and eliminated.
…
This went back and forth.
In the end …
After the deep-sea environment changed dozens of times, it finally stabilized at a certain balance point. No matter how much trouble was made, the environment would not change the slightest.
"It's stabilized!"
"I will perfect the protective spheres!"
"Then next …"
"Send a few people to explore the environment first and then fully open it up."
"Okay."
Everyone quickly made a decision.
However …
The candidates who entered the deep sea for the first time …
Shush!
Everyone instinctively turned to look at him.
There was only one person who was not affected by the rules of the world, who was not limited by the nine-star, and who had super powerful combat abilities — Lu Ming!
A dignified second transformation cultivator!
Lu Ming was speechless.
He suddenly felt that why was a second transformation a laborer?
"I really envy you."
Wu Jiu sighed. "Teach me how to become a second transformation."
"When the world is at peace, I will also become a second transformation."
The Summoner heaved continuous sighs.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He had to finish the realm that he made up even if he had tears in his eyes.
Of course.
Chu Xiao was the one who said it …
That rubbish!
After a long while …
The final plan was finalized. Lu Ming would lead a group of vanguard team members into the deep-sea country to find out the details of the situation.
In layman's terms — run the map.
…
On the same day.
Lu Ming also rushed to the combat base outside the deep-sea country.
At this moment …
Batches of cultivators had also arrived.
Lu Ming took a glance and was surprised to discover that apart from a group of older grandmasters, there was actually a girl who looked only sixteen years old!
The girl had exquisite features and wore a school uniform similar to JK. She was youthful and lively.
Eh?
Whose child was this?
Student?
Lu Ming felt somewhat emotional.
After all, he did not have the habit of looking at girls in the playground like the dean. Occasionally seeing these young girls, he felt somewhat dislocated …
That was true.
After all, he was a programmer who had graduated for N years. In addition, since he came to this world, he had been fighting and improving rapidly. He had almost forgotten what youth was …
It was good to be young.
Lu Ming felt somewhat envious. Inexplicably, he thought of the time when he was in high school …
Sigh.
He missed it.
"What's the matter?"
Wu Jiu glanced at Lu Ming curiously.
"It's nothing."
Lu Ming shook his head. "I just thought of my past self."
"Oh?"
Wu Jiu glanced at the girl and exclaimed, "Did you wear this kind of dress in the past?"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn.
How did you associate this with me?
"I was referring to my age …"
Lu Ming's face darkened.
"You're only seventeen years old."
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes. Only a fool would believe him. Therefore, he patted Lu Ming's shoulder. "Don't worry, wear it if you want to. No one will discriminate against you if you wear a dress. Times are different now. Everyone is more open-minded. It was different back then. I was beaten by my dad several times for wearing a dress … "
Lu Ming was speechless.
Did this girl have such a story?
→_→
"Oh.
"By the way.
"Take care of this young lady later."
Wu Jiu said, "She is a seven-star member of the vanguard team."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Wait a minute.
Vanguard team?
Seven-star at the age of sixteen!
Such a genius …
"Is she going on an expedition too?"
Lu Ming's face darkened.
"Yes."
Wu Jiu nodded slightly. "You can go but she can't?"
"How can it be the same?!"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. "If anything happens to this young lady …"
"Don't worry."
Wu Jiu smiled faintly. "This young lady is very powerful. To be able to reach seven-star at the age of sixteen, in addition to the resources from her family, she has also gone through countless life-and-death trials.
"She might have gone to those places more than you.
"Besides …
"This is her first time entering the deep sea nation. Besides danger, there are also fortuitous opportunities. Everyone is thinking about it …
"Alright."
Lu Ming sighed.
A sixteen-year-old young lady …
His head hurt.
What was this young lady thinking???
However …
Just at this moment, the young lady's communication device vibrated. She picked it up unhappily.
"I've arrived.
"It's none of your business!
"You're so annoying!
"Grandpa, I'm only sixteen years old!
"I don't want to look for Lu Ming! What has it got to do with me whether he's young or not?
"What has it got to do with me whether his genes are good or not?
"You can go after him if you like him!"
Upon finishing her words …
The young lady switched off the communication device with a snap.
Wu Jiu was speechless.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What was going on?
After a long while …
The team members arrived in an orderly manner.
Oh …
Including the young lady.
At this moment, the young lady looked at Lu Ming with a strange gaze.
"Young lady, I heard everything.
"Tell me.
"What's the matter with your grandpa?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"My grandpa wants to woo you."
The young lady blinked her eyes. "If you're interested, I can introduce you to someone."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it! Your grandpa wants to woo me!
Youngsters nowadays.
They were ruthless.
"Did you say that you're young or not …"
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
He was scared to death.
He thought that someone had peeped at him when he was bathing and did not even know whether he was old or not.
Snort.
He would leave this to Xiao Bai in the future.
Well …
Anyway …
Due to some special reasons, in this team, apart from a few useless people, there was also a special genius young lady.
He had a feeling that …
It was strange.
"Is there really no problem?"
Lu Ming was still worried.
He was fine and could run away anytime. But this lady …
"Don't worry."
Wu Jiu glanced at him. "If there's any danger, just run away. Although this lady is only a seven-star, she might be stronger than you in the sea."
"Really?"
Lu Ming exclaimed.
"What do you think?"
Wu Jiu pursed his lips. "This underwater battle is not a hand-to-hand fight. No one will go into the sea. This lady is best at mental battles."
"That's good."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Mental strength …
This had nothing to do with one's realm.
For a trip to the deep sea, one's energy and realm were only to ensure the energy requirements of the protective ball. The real combat ability was in one's mental strength! A powerful mental strength!
Oo …
At the thought of this …
Lu Ming's thoughts emerged.
Very good.
As always, it was big and round. It fitted perfectly with the Original Card …
→_→
…
After a long while …
Lu Ming introduced himself to the team members.
In general, the team members this time were carefully selected. They were powerful grandmasters who were good at scouting. They could complete various tasks.
For example —
Senior Wu Xiu who was good at sound waves.
For example —
Senior Chang Cheng who was good at scouting.
Wait a minute.
As for Lu Ming, he was there to prevent accidents.
Of course.
Their job was to prevent accidents. It was different from Chu Xiao's. Chu Xiao's job was to strangle life at the source. As for Lu Ming's job …
"It's a bodyguard again …"
Lu Ming sighed.
He knew it.
Every time they went deep into the legacy site, he would be a bodyguard.
Thankfully …
He was used to it.
The big shots thought that he had already gone through the second transition and had no more desires. But in fact, he was only Six Stars. Perhaps he could improve a little.
At the thought of this, Lu Ming felt more at ease.
After a long while …
Everyone was ready.
After the research and development team ascertained that there were no problems in the deep sea, Lu Ming led the grandmasters into the deep sea country and entered a chaotic place.
Buzz —
The protective ball was activated.
Everyone looked at the deep sea country curiously.
Well …
This was also the first time that Lu Ming came here seriously. In the past, he would be in a hurry to complete the task and rush back.
He had time this time.
It was a pity …
There were only ruins left.
"Check the surroundings."
Lu Ming said lightly.
"Yes."
Wu Xiu began to check the surroundings proficiently. Through the combination of sound wave scanning and ability, he soon conjured the complete surrounding environment on the screen.
"So proficient?"
Lu Ming exclaimed.
"As a strict person, the simulation training before a real battle is the basic operation."
Wu Xiu said proudly.
This was what he was most confident about.
Although Senior Lu Ming was powerful, he was after all young.
As for him …
He had rich experience!
Regardless of whether he would use it or not, he had to go through comprehensive simulation training to ensure that he would be perfect in actual combat.
"Amazing!"
Lu Ming was curious. "Do you simulate all kinds of activities?"
"Of course."
Wu Xiu was certain.
"Do you do it before a date?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"…"
Wu Xiu fell silent. After a long while, he said somewhat painfully, "I have simulated for a total of forty-two years. I have yet to experience a real battle …"
"…"
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
It was not easy.
It was so difficult for a grandmaster to find a partner?
Oh, that was true. He would not fancy those who liked him and those who liked him would not fancy him.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ming patted his shoulder.
Buzz —
Buzz —
The investigation team advanced cautiously. The scanning and drawing of the map of the deep sea nation were constantly being perfected and the percentage was constantly increasing …
0.1%, 0.2% …
The percentage was increasing at a very slow rate.
Fortunately …
The final completed map was three-dimensional. It was very perfect.
"No enemy detected …"
Wu Xiu kept reporting.
"I didn't discover anything either."
Chang Cheng's eyes were like lightning.
He had very good eyesight. It was equivalent to an eyepiece with a few hundred times magnification. He could see everything clearly wherever he looked.
"Okay."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
The mapping work was progressing slowly.
Lu Ming was shocked to discover that he did not seem to have anything to do …
Were they really bodyguards?
This was strange.
Lu Ming frowned tightly. Since there was no problem, why did they ask him to come down?
…
At this very moment …
Nine-Star Alliance.
"Lu Ming has left?"
"Has he gone down?"
"Yes."
"Where is my granddaughter?"
"She has gone down as well."
"Hey, this is a rare opportunity … If the two of them are alone, do you think there will be sparks between them …"
"…"
Wu Jiu sighed. "Why do you have to do this …"
"I'm just trying to matchmake them."
The Summoner smiled faintly.
That was right.
That young lady was his granddaughter.
Initially, he hoped that his son would be able to reach nine-star and share his burdens. Unfortunately, his son was rubbish. He was even worse than Chu Xiao.
He was a grandmaster but did not cultivate. Instead, he went to engage in esports …
At that time, he was so angry that he almost beat this guy to death. He once wondered why he did not push this guy against the wall. He would have been angry for decades.
Anyway …
This alternate account was completely useless.
Thankfully …
This guy was not too incompetent. After all, he had inherited a little ability from him. He married a wife and gave birth to an even more talented child.
That was his granddaughter — a super genius who was not inferior to Lu Yan.
The little girl did not let him down. She had been bursting with energy and reached the grandmaster realm at a young age. She had great potential and no one could stop her!
It was a pity …
He saw Lu Ming …
This child was only one year older than his granddaughter but he was already on par with him!
It was too terrifying!
Hence …
He had a brainwave and came up with a brilliant idea — If his granddaughter and Lu Ming were to be together, the child that they gave birth to, would it be possible …
Hey.
He was excited at the thought of it!
It was a pity …
His granddaughter did not listen to his advice.
Her character …
It was too unyielding!
Therefore, he came up with this plan.
Well …
It was quite good for her to meet Lu Ming.
Young people needed to meet force with force in order to have passion.
"…"
Wu Jiu was expressionless.
It was true.
"Senior.
"You can't apply the idea of breeding pets to the child …"
He sighed.
"Why not?"
The Summoner sneered. "When I was raising a child for the first time, I read all kinds of 'Parenting Skills'. I have to take care of the child's emotions and respect his wishes.
"What happened in the end?
"This guy went to play esports …
"If this was a peaceful era, I wouldn't have said anything.
"Now that the seven major countries are coveting me, tell me, what's the use of playing esports??!
"On the contrary, my pets are very well reared. They are obedient, well-behaved and powerful! This is how my Duma was bred!
"Do you know what mutation is?!
"One Duma egg and one black dragon egg resulted in the current Black Dragon Duma. It can ride, fight and live!
"One of a kind!"
"Humph!"
The Summoner sneered.
Wu Jiu was speechless.
He sighed.
What else could he say?
Anyway, he had a long lifespan. He could do whatever he wanted.
However, it was not enough for this old man to breed with all kinds of pets every day. Now, he had his eyes on Lu Ming and his granddaughter. It was really …
"Don't you want to know the outcome?"
The Summoner was in high spirits.
"I don't want to."
Wu Jiu was listless.
He was not the only one who wanted to have his eyes on Lu Ming.
Look at Lu Ming's association. It had become a harem! All kinds of ladies stayed in the Sword Card Master Association. Did any of them succeed?
No!
"He only has Miss Xiao Bai in his heart."
Wu Jiu sighed.
"That's because he has never seen my granddaughter."
The Summoner was arrogant. "Those Tian girls are too much. Lu Ming likes flat girls. Look, my granddaughter is flatter than Xiao Bai … "
"…"
Wu Jiu was expressionless.
This was not something to be proud of!
"It's okay.
"Take this as a honeymoon.
"Let the two of them nurture their relationship …
"Hey."
The Summoner kept thinking. "Do you think it's possible that they will …"
"Impossible."
Wu Jiu shook his head decisively.
"Why is it impossible?!"
The Summoner blew his beard and glared. "Isn't that what Lu Ming's father did?! Isn't that how Lu Ming came to be? I remember that he was born in the wild. "
"…"
Wu Jiu sighed. "There are other people …"
"Don't worry about this."
Chu Xiao suddenly said, "Senior, I installed something that changes color in their protective balls."
"Oh?!"
The Summoner's eyes lit up. "Do you mean …"
"The barrier changes color to protect the people inside from being seen."
Chu Xiao explained.
"Oh, about this …"
The Summoner was somewhat disappointed. "You are indeed a rubbish eight-star!"
Chu Xiao was speechless.
Otherwise?
What else could it be?
Changing color …
What other functions did it have?
Why was this senior's train of thought so jumpy?!
…
PS: Everyone, happy Children's Day. Sigh, I'm going to take my college entrance examination soon.
