“Who are you?”
The seven-star powerful figure swept his eyes across her.
“Sir.”
That figure bowed slightly to show her respect. “I’m from the community nearby. I have some items which can help you recover from your injuries. I don’t know if they will be of any help to you.”
“Oh?”
The seven-star was tempted.
Recover from injuries…
Not bad.
The people in the World of Darkness and Shadows were increasingly well-behaved. Perhaps he could nurture this individual to become a warden under his jurisdiction.
Well… That was what he was thinking.
Afterward, he looked on smilingly as the figure gingerly and respectfully walked toward him. Then… She suddenly took out a sword and stabbed him.
Poof!
His heart was pierced with one sword.
Clean.
Crisp.
An ordinary shadow long sword had stabbed and perforated him on the spot where he had been scorched by the sun.
The smile on the face of the seven-star big shot froze.
Damn it. What is happening?
It was true.
He was baffled.
He had been to this world for many years and none of the shadows dared touch him! Didn’t she know that seven-stars like him could live on eternally?
“What is your name?”
The seven star had a cold and chilling gaze.
“Lu Yan.”
Two words appeared above the head of that figure.
“Lu Yan, you have committed a very stupid mistake.”
The seven-star big shot looked increasingly cold and aloof.
It was ridiculous!
Did she really think that she could kill him because he was seriously wounded?
Heh.
This was dumb and greedy…
You guys are merely fools who came here with your shadows. How are you able to understand the power of people like us whose shadows remained in this place to cultivate?
Over here, strong mental strength and weak physique do not exist.
Us…
Bodies who undergo Shadow Transformation are immortal!
Assassinations?
They’re simply ludicrous!
“Of course not.”
Lu Yan looked at him calmly. “I’ve long waited for you to be isolated.”
The seven-star big shot felt that something was amiss.
Waiting for him to be isolated?
What did this woman mean?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he saw that the graceful figure was gently lifting her hand. A bracelet condensed from countless crystal cores was clearly visible on her hand.
Seemingly…
He had seen it somewhere before.
However…
Before he could mull it over.
Buzz—
The shadow long sword inside the seven-star’s body emitted a faint blue glow which was intensifying.
“Blue light?!”
The expression of the seven-star big shot changed drastically.
Damn it!
Why are blue lights appearing in this world?!
Forget about that guy who led them on a wild goose chase around the world. Why was it that this woman could also release light?!
He was shocked.
Afterward…
He saw a concise and simple word emerging in the dialog box above the head of that graceful figure — “Destruct!”
Shush!
The dazzling blue radiance shone.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
A chilling cold engulfed his body and perforated it.
The horrifying radiance was eroding his body at an unbelievable speed!
No!
I must not die!
I have to withstand this!
The seven-star big shot gritted his teeth in pain. Though this cold and chilling blue light was more powerful than the small sun, this damned light would not be able to kill him since the sun could not do so!
“I can live eternally!
“I’m a seven-star!
“I won’t be defeated here!” the seven-star hollered furiously.
Buzz—
Faint shadows flashed.
His eroding figure actually withstood the attack!
However, just at this moment, he suddenly saw a faint smile emerging on the face of the young girl before him. As she was only a shadow, he could not catch a clear glimpse of it.
Is she smiling?
I don’t think so?
Before he could react, he was horrified to see a calm word popping out above Lu Yan’s head — “Destruct!”
This was…
The countenance of the seven-star big shot changed drastically.
Afterward…
He watched on helplessly as the young girl before him self-destructed at that moment!
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
A towering radiance emerged again, drowning the seven-star completely!
The seven-star big shot was completely dumbstruck.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho is this crazy person?!
Bang!
Bang!
Blue radiance engulfed hin.
The battered body of the seven-star big shot detonated in that instant and a gush of terrifying aura with a black and blue combination blasted across the ground!
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
All the shadows in the World of Darkness and Shadows were jolted awake at this moment.
Yes.
All of them!
At this moment, all the shadows fearfully sensed something — A seven-star and above big shot had been killed! He died in the World of Darkness and Shadows!!!
As a result of this strange and mysterious blast with a combination of energy, a crack had appeared on this world’s bulwark!
The world had cracked.
…
At this very moment…
Zhao Yunshan and the group, who had been waiting for a chance, were suddenly awakened. “Now is our chance!”
Pfft!
Pfft!
One by one, everyone committed suicide, transformed into a faint shadow and left.
Pleasantly surprised, Wu Hongfei had wanted to peacock and say something but when he saw his classmate taking out the endoscope with an unfriendly expression, he frightfully committed suicide and left!
Return!
All of them were returning!
All the students took this opportunity to leave the World of Darkness and Shadows!
…
At this very moment…
Those big shots who were hunting down Lu Ming were first enraged, and then they felt shock and fear.
Dead…
Someone actually died!
Damn it!
How was it possible for a shadow with eternal life to die…
Right then…
Everyone felt fear and trepidation.
They reacted swiftly and repaired the crack caused by the blast of the seven-star. However, they could not stop the students from escaping at that moment!
“It’s okay.”
“It’s fine as long as this person is still here.”
The big shots looked at Lu Ming.
Right then…
They could clearly sense that Lu Ming had run out of fruits and that the energy in his body had also been drained!
He was really at the end of his rope!
“Capture him!”
The big shots did not waste their breath.
They would not give this person a chance to commit suicide.
They even sealed all the possible escape opportunities and formed a fool-proof encirclement in the surrounding. Even eight-stars would not be able to flee this place!
Bang!
Countless attacks shrouded Lu Ming.
However…
Just as they wanted to capture Lu Ming.
Shush!
Lu Ming’s shadow trembled and then he disappeared without any warning!
The big shots were stunned.
V-vanished?
How is that possible?!
Teleportation?
He became invisible?
The big shots searched every inch of the land in the surrounding but could not find him! That damned guy disappeared just like that without any warning…
The big shots were completely baffled.
They searched for more than ten minutes but could not find any traces of Lu Ming.
That person…
He had really disappeared!
It was as if he had never been here before.
It was just that the abyss and that crack on the world were akin to statues. It is impossible that he had never been here. Who exactly is he?!
What was with that light power?!
What was with that blue power?!
Nobody knew!
Click!
Click!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
The World of Darkness and Shadows seemed to be falling apart.
Yes.
The World of Darkness and Shadows had been blasted apart by those small suns and a seven-star had been destroyed by a blue power. This had caused cracks to appear in the entire world!
So…
They had no alternative.
The big shots in the World of Darkness and Shadows forcefully destroyed everyone!
Yes.
Everything…
Shush!
All the natives who did not belong to the World of Darkness and Shadows and all the humans who entered in their ‘shadow’ form were forcefully wiped out! The World of Darkness and Shadows was completely shut down!
“Repair!”
“Before we figure this out, don’t open up…”
“Yes.”
…
At this very moment…
The First Academy.
Two and a half days passed quietly.
Just as the dean got up with a grave expression and was preparing to step into the World of Darkness and Shadows, all the students woke up!
All of them returned!
None of them were left behind!
Shush!
The connection between the school and the World of Darkness and Shadows was cut off.
Not only that.
The most shocking thing was that the equipment which connected them to the World of Darkness and Shadows was in flames!
The dean specially got his friend to investigate this and received shocking news – The World of Darkness and Shadows which had sustained itself for countless years had actually shut down!
Yes.
It was a complete shut down!
What happened?
Nobody knew!
“Prepare to wake them up.”
The dean wore a grave expression.
He had to know if these students were alright.
“The life nourishing cabin has not reached the end yet,” the assistant reminded him.
If they were to forcefully wake them up, their abilities might not be able to integrate completely.
“It’s alright. I’ll do it.”
There was a glint in the dean’s eyes.
Buzz—
He waved his hands, a ray of light suddenly burst and entered the students’ bodies. The energy which initially required a long time to absorb completed the integration in that instant!
Bang!
Beams of shocking auras were released.
One by one, the students were breaking through!
Yes.
They had broken through!
After experiencing the ups and downs in the World of Darkness and Shadows and the torture and suffering of being hunted down, many people’s mindset and abilities had transformed!
After the dean gave them a boost in the integration, they attained an all-rounded breakthrough!
Of course.
Ye Liangfei and Zhang Xukun were exceptions.
As the heaven’s pride of The First Academy, the duo woke up with sullen expressions. This was because they were the ‘rare’ talents eliminated during the preliminary phase.
Well…
They only had a nap.
“Are you guys alright?”
The teachers hurried over with the devices to examine their bodies.
The students jumped in shock and then heaved a sigh of relief when they scrutinized the examination tools and confirmed that there was no endoscope. However, some students asked the teachers nervously, “Teacher, there is no endoscope, right?”
The teachers were speechless.
Why would they need endoscopes to examine their bodies?
Students nowadays…
Do they have such a strong taste?
Very soon, the check up was over. The students had recovered very successfully.
“What happened?” the dean asked in a low voice.
Shush!
The students glanced at Zhao Yunshan simultaneously.
So… Zhao Yunshan reported the situation very seriously and, of course, he highlighted the contribution of the Sword Card Master Association in their rescue!
The dean fell silent.
The students had been captured for surgery? All the seven-star and above shadows took action! A senior of the Sword Card Master Association provided strong reinforcements?! Unexpectedly, so many things occurred in the World of Darkness and Shadows in just a few days!
“I wonder which senior it was?”
The dean felt somewhat puzzled.
He remembered that the Sword Card Masters did not have a senior…
If it was someone Lu Yan knew…
“The senior forbade me from telling.”
Zhao Yunshan felt embarrassed.
“It’s okay.”
The dean understood. “I owe him a favor for this matter.”
Yes.
If that senior had not taken action, he was afraid that…
Whoosh—
The dean felt some lingering fear at the thought of it.
He had no choice. Who would expect that many accidents to occur in the World of Darkness and Shadows, which had been stable for that many years?
But, this was still a good thing.
At this moment…
Since the assessment had already ended, it was time to announce the results.
“This time, all those who persisted till the end are eligible to receive their diplomas!” the dean said.
Wow—
There was a loud gasp from the students.
Diplomas!
Those who persisted till the end would receive them!
This also applied to those that were captured and then saved by Zhao Yunshan?!
Yes.
They were eligible as long as they were not dead.
The purpose of the graduation season was to improve the survival ability of the students and remove their student mentality. These people were considered to have met the mark!
“Rest well.”
The dean consoled, “I know some people are more powerful but won’t receive a diploma. However, like I said you’ll only gain something only if you made it out alive!
“Regardless of how powerful you are, what’s the point if you already went to heaven?”
“Right?”
His gaze swept across a few talented students. Those few students were very powerful but too aggressive. They were eliminated after just killing two Assassins.
The students lowered their heads in shame.
“Don’t worry.
“I’ve fought for ample resources for the school’s millennium anniversary this time.
“Even if you don’t have a diploma, you may be able to join a very good association and become a core member. The rest will depend on yourself.”
The dean said, “Rest well and stabilize your current ability. The on-campus jobs fair will commence in three days!”
“Yes.”
The students’ response was clear and loud.
They knew that it was time to decide on their future!
So…
The graduation came to a close.
The grand and spectacular World of Darkness and Shadows experiential assessment had ended inexplicably. Nevertheless, it had also achieved the school’s assessment objective.
Survival… was the most important.
In addition, they were also very pleased with the students’ breakthrough.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMost of the students had advanced by a small level. They were also happy that, seemingly after having experienced some torture during captivity, the students’ mindsets had also become more mature.
This was a very positive thing.
However…
The teachers’ gaze landed quickly on someone.
A majority of the people in this assessment had advanced by a level and a minority had advanced slightly. However, there was one individual whose ability had worsened!
Lu Yan.
This was the school’s pride.
An unparalleled individual who had once beaten all the six-stars to a pulp was only left with one-star aura.
One-star???
The teachers were full of doubts.
“Lu Yan?”
A teacher’s countenance changed drastically. “Did you re-cultivate again?”
To hell with it!
The on-campus job fair is coming. If one were to re-cultivate at this point in time, they would be done for! Wait a minute, something is not right. Only the shadows entered the World of Darkness and Shadows. How did something happen to the real you?!
The teachers were shocked at the thought of this.
Yes!
Didn’t everyone go to the World of Darkness and Shadows?
Logically, their abilities would not be impacted. How would Lu Yan…
Lu Yan only smiled faintly.
“Can I leave now?”
She looked calm and collected.
“That won’t do.”
One of the teachers stopped her. “Lu Yan, you’re only a one-star now. It’s too dangerous.”
Of course, someone was protecting Tian Du City.
However…
One-star!
Similar to the World of Darkness and Shadows, if someone goes all out and fights with you, you won’t have a way to retaliate! With a one-star ability, you won’t be able to last until someone comes to save you!
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Lu Yan recovered from her senses.
Sitting cross-legged, a faint aura condensed and surrounded her.
Buzz—
Lights and shadows flashed.
Moments later.
One-star, two-star, three-star…
Crash!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
Lu Yan attained a breakthrough to four-star.
Faint blue radiance condensed and her Sword Embryo successfully formed again.
“Is it alright now?” Lu Yan asked.
The teachers were dumbstruck.
Crap. S-she became four-star just like that?!
Forget it that she has risen to four-star. You are that familiar with the condensation process of the Sword Embryo?! Hey, how many times have you re-cultivated?!
The teachers no longer stopped Lu Yan and the latter left in a breeze.
“Are we going to stop her?”
The assistant looked at the dean worriedly.
“No need.”
The dean had a deep and profound gaze. “The school’s objective is to impart more knowledge and guide the children onto the right path. And Lu Yan…
“She has her own path!”
…
At this moment…
Sword Card Master association.
Lu Ming had just woken up from the darkness.
At the most critical and dangerous moment, Brother Cat forcefully brought him back to reality!
However, he had too many doubts. Why was Sister’s aura that intense and the death of a seven-star… Why did he see a blue light?
Blue light…
There should not be any blue lights in the World of Darkness and Shadows!
That was Sister’s sword gleam!
It was very strange!
He was in the World of Darkness and Shadow in his true form and his powers were not restrained. However, how could Sister’s sword gleam appear in that world?!
What exactly happened?!
He had no idea.
Shush!
He switched on his communication device. Just as he wanted to contact his sister, he saw Lu Yan appearing at the Sword Card Master Association. Xiaobai led her inside.
“Sister?”
Lu Ming was shocked.
However…
Just as he finished his words, he saw Lu Yan lifting her hand and slapping his forehead.
Bang!
There was an outburst of terrifying powers.
Buzz—
Lu Ming sensed horrifying and powerful powers entering his body. Simultaneously, a strange and mysterious rune marking appeared in a flash and dazzled, as if it was struggling.
“Materialize!”
Lu Yan struck and subdued the manifested rune.
After a long time…
The glow receded.
The terrifying powers also seemed to have disappeared inside Lu Ming’s body.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Crap!
What is Sister today?!
Why did she shoot something into his body for no reason?!
“Sister?”
Lu Ming was puzzled.
“This is a marking of a seven-star.”
Lu Yan said calmly, “Cultivate properly. Your talent is ordinary. With this marking, you will have a chance to break through when you reach seven-star.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming responded instinctively and then came to his senses…
Seven-star marking…
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming’s heart suddenly trembled. “Sister, did you go to the World of Darkness and Shadows just to kill a seven-star big shot and obtain his marking for me?!”
