As Lu Ming 'stepped into' Jiuxing, his little life returned to normal.
Your children will accompany you during the day, Xiaobai will accompany you at night, and occasionally Miss Tian will come over to let you feel the excitement of life...
Tsk.
Life is also considered happy.
but.
Lu Ming knew that all of this was based on 'stepping into the Nine Stars', especially - he also destroyed a Nine Star with his own hands.
Therefore, he must constantly improve himself and strive to truly reach nine stars.
The issue is--
How to break through?
He only has one star now...
Practice?
Lu Ming tried to practice, the three-level practice of original card + shadow + self. The quality of his energy has indeed improved, but it is still one star.
That feeling...
It is exactly the same as the original six-star limit.
Therefore, the current Lu Ming has simply changed from a six-star limit to a special one-star limit, with no other changes.
Want to break through two stars?
I'm afraid it will be exactly the same as the previous seven-star breakthrough!
certainly.
It doesn't matter if you can't keep up with Nine Stars in terms of realm. Anyway, you have become one star now. If your combat power reaches nine stars, it's okay.
then.
Late that night.
Lu Ming and Ms. Chen Yin gave another review.
"Let's start with the energy test."
Miss Chen Yin said.
She could feel a difference in Lu Ming's energy.
"good."
Lu Ming tried to use his energy to attack Chen Yin.
boom!
A powerful breath exploded.
Golden light flows.
Although Lu Ming tried his best not to use any special power, when he used all his strength, the golden light of the sea of consciousness still leaked out.
Just this trace made Chen Yin alert.
"This thing..."
Chen Yin looked solemn.
She can feel the difference in these energies. This should be the special energy that Lu Ming obtained through some other things. If she can understand the core...
"Can you control just those golden lights?"
She looked at Lu Ming.
"a little."
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed.
"Attack me with it!"
Chen Yin said in a deep voice.
"Isn't this bad..."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
"attack!"
Chen Yin is very sure.
Since Lu Ming's combat effectiveness needs to be assessed, this thing cannot be let go.
"All right."
Lu Ming sighed.
then.
He condensed a balloon wrapped in Yin Qi and blasted it towards Chen Yin.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Golden light splashed across Chen Yin's face.
"This breath..."
Chen Yin licked her lips and tasted it, "This taste is a bit familiar..."
Lu Ming:???
Who can identify energy like this?
Even if it’s pure energy, you can’t eat it directly to determine the value!
"Well……"
“The energy is mellow and earthy.”
Chen Yin savored it carefully, "Although it is golden light, it has a unique texture, an energy body that can soften the two qualities of viscosity and lubrication..."
"It is worthy of the nine-star energy."
Chen Yin was amazed.
"..."
Lu Ming was silent.
So Miss Chen Yin’s part-time job is the energy on the tip of the tongue?
For some reason, after hearing about Miss Chen Yin's appraisal plan, he suddenly had a bold idea...
Fortunately.
He quickly thought of Xiaobai and suddenly became Buddhist.
"Have you taken the energy test?"
Lu Ming whispered bb.
"Um."
Chen Yin nodded slightly, "This way we can perceive the energy structure more deeply. What's wrong?"
"Where's my own?"
Lu Ming was very curious about his own energy.
"your?"
Chen Yin glanced at him and said, "Although your energy texture is good and already has the quality of seven stars, the density is too thin and the activity is too low."
Lu Ming: "..."
Miss Chen Yin is really particular about her choice of words.
In short.
After Chen Yin tasted it, Lu Ming's energy quality was still seven stars, but it had been upgraded from the original seven-star elementary level to the seven-star intermediate level.
oh……
This is without using that special energy.
"I'm not very good at using it."
Lu Ming sighed.
This energy comes from heaven and earth and cannot be absorbed or integrated. Now he can only use it purely for defense to resist enemy attacks.
"As long as you have the corresponding mentality."
Chen Yin said in a deep voice, "We sword card masters are indeed unable to use this energy at the moment, but I always feel that this energy is very familiar..."
Lu Ming pretended not to hear.
He can't say that this energy belongs to the priest, right?!
"fine."
"Sooner or later it will be researched."
Chen Yin was very calm, "Come on, the energy appraisal is completed, it's time for actual combat. Let me see how much progress you, the president, have made?!"
Finished.
She took action immediately.
brush!
The original card transformed in his hand and turned into a boxing glove.
boom!
Punch out.
Thunder.
In terms of combat experience alone, Lu Ming was far inferior to Chen Yin. Therefore, when Chen Yin suddenly attacked, Lu Ming was hit without reacting.
Then……
Buzz——
Lu Ming's body flashed with light.
Chen Yin was horrified to find that her attack was actually ejected!
"This is……"
Chen Yin looked at the flashing light on Lu Ming's body in horror, that familiar appearance, and those fine lines, and she was suddenly incredulous, "You...you are actually wearing mesh stockings?!"
brush!
The world suddenly fell silent.
Lu Ming's face darkened as he looked at the nine-star light network exploded by Chen Yin's attack...
oh.
This thing also has this defensive effect.
Awesome!
He didn't even feel Duchen Yin's attack. Obviously, the attack fell on the optical network, was understood as an attack on the optical network, and was directly resolved.
This Nine Star Light Network...
The defense is astonishingly terrifying!
Of course, for Lu Ming, it was a bit embarrassing, especially - when it defended, it was like a shining stocking...
What a trap!
"This is an optical network."
Lu Ming explained very seriously.
"oh……"
Chen Yin suddenly realized, "Using optical mesh to make stockings is also a great idea..."
"These are not stockings..."
Lu Ming's face darkened, "This thing is used to attack my optical network..."
"Yes."
Chen Yin blinked, "For something so threatening, you use it as a piece of ultra-high defense equipment like mesh stockings, which shows how smart you are."
"..."
Lu Ming was unable to explain.
never mind.
Just stockings.
"I'm here to test the defense of this thing."
Chen Yin was very interested.
"good."
Lu Ming sighed.
Now that things have come to this, we can only make good use of this thing.
then.
Chen Yin started the optical network defense test, but her test method...
Bang bang!!
Miss Chen Yin first used hammers, axes, swords and other weapons to attack, then switched to fists, and finally turned to a small whip to lash...
Lu Ming:???
Wait, why has it become such an indescribable activity again?
Fortunately.
Chen Yin quickly completed the test.
The final result - hard weapons such as hammers and axes will be blocked by the light net with a certain thickness and cannot harm Lu Ming at all!
But the little whip...
Can.
Because the whip is soft, it can pass through the gaps in the grid.
"is that OK?"
Lu Ming asked.
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Yin was very satisfied, "With these stockings, it's impossible for ordinary practitioners to harm you! It's impossible for people below the ninth level to put weapons into your body."
Lu Ming: "..."
for a long time.
He sighed, "Isn't it okay for a master who uses a leather whip?"
"Indeed."
Chen Yin said in a deep voice, "However, there are very few practitioners who use leather whips, and there is only one person who can become a master, so you don't have to worry."
"oh."
Lu Ming understood.
He is now invincible under nine stars!!!
"but……"
Chen Yin paused and gave him a meaningful look, "I heard that you are under a lot of pressure recently. If you need it, I can help you contact her..."
Lu Ming:???
are you crazy!
Who? Contact that person!
"Don't look like that."
Chen Yin rolled her eyes, "Although the number of people in this association is small, they are also serious practitioners."
"Whip repair?"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
"No."
Chen Yin said sternly, "The Whip Cultivator is another association. Their name is Pi Xiu."
"brave troops……"
Lu Ming was silent, what a good name!
"Okay, leave them alone."
Chen Yin rolled her eyes and said, "Continue the test. This time we encounter the nine-star card maker. It is also very dangerous. What about the other nine-stars next time?"
"President!"
"You have to understand your strengths!"
"Facing a strong enemy, only by using your strengths and targeting the enemy's weaknesses can you have a chance to win!"
"Now……"
"Come again!"
boom!
boom!
Chen Yin took action again, and Lu Ming could only accept the challenge.
This night.
The two fought for a long time.
Since returning to Grandmaster, Miss Chen Yin's fighting ability can only be described as terrifying. Lu Ming could barely fight without using special energy.
Fortunately.
After this night's confrontation, Chen Yin also figured out Lu Ming's new combat power.
Um……
Appearance energy realm: one-star peak.
Own energy quality: seven-star intermediate level.
The combat power of self + card assistance + stocking grid: Seven Stars is invincible!!! That’s right, with Lu Ming’s various special cards, basically no one in Seven Stars can beat Lu Ming.
As for the eight stars...
We can only rely on stocking grid + radiant energy for defense. The opponent generally cannot defeat Lu Ming, but Lu Ming has no means to attack the opponent.
If you must also evaluate...
"never fail?"
Lu Ming is proud.
"..."
Chen Yin glanced at him and said, "No, I'm more resistant to beatings."
Lu Ming:→_→
As for Nine Stars?
never mind.
I really can't beat this.
Even if the stocking grid and radiant energy are fully used, it probably won't be able to withstand it for a few times. Even the nine-star card maker who basically doesn't know how to fight can see through Lu Ming's tricks.
so……
If you meet other Nine Stars, you can only rely on deception.
…
Fortunately.
In this world, after all, there are only these nine stars.
Although Lu Ming didn't know most of them, he didn't have a bad relationship. For example, the big boss of the Wizards Association had a very good relationship with him.
Um……
Ignore Lu Ming's words of demolishing their ruins.
but.
at this time.
"Lu Ming, have you ever heard of the f7 alliance?"
Chen Yin suddenly asked.
"I've heard of it."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
He is still very interested in this alliance that provides him with benefits.
"That's right."
Chen Yin whispered, "In addition to the big circles of major associations and major forces, many people actually have their own small circles."
"For example - f7 alliance."
"For example - a small leather whip candle hobby circle."
"For example - the card cracking circle."
Chen Yin said.
Lu Ming:???
He always feels that there is something abnormal inside...
but.
The circle thing is indeed normal.
No matter what you do these days, there are circles, fan circles, subtitle circles, xx circles, 91 circles, etc...
He understood.
"Anyway."
Chen Yin said, "Now that you have the strength of Nine Stars, maybe one day they will invite you to join Nine Stars' own circle - the Nine Stars Alliance!"
"It is rumored that the Nine-Star Alliance is located at the top of the starry sky."
"In a legendary place that no one else can touch, there, the nine-star bosses overlook all living beings and decide the direction of the human world!"
"According to rumors, every time they meet, there are many strange phenomena in the starry sky, and the sun, moon and stars are eclipsed. These are also the traces that the prophets have found."
"over there."
"Association is just an attribute..."
"Although they may be the presidents of various associations, in their eyes, what they care more about are all living beings, and they will only take action occasionally."
"Similar to a card maker..."
"It's actually a violation."
Chen Yin looked solemn.
"I see."
Lu Ming was amazed.
The Nine Star Alliance actually still exists like this.
"Then if I kill the nine-star card maker..."
Lu Ming whispered.
"It should be fine."
Chen Yin thought for a while, "First of all, he came to you because he broke the rules. Secondly, the powers behind the nine-star bosses are complicated and inherently competitive. Only when it comes to the life and death of mankind and the direction of the world, will they make a decision.
Come and solve the world’s crises!”
"It's rumored..."
"The World Disaster Management Group was created by them."
"Let's talk again."
"When the president of the Card Creators Association died, he and the strength he represented were no longer qualified to participate in the Nine-Star Alliance's decisions, so..."
Chen Yin smiled slightly.
"oh……"
Lu Ming understood somewhat and whispered, "How do you know this?"
"My uncle said it."
Chen Yin lowered her voice again, "These are all rumors, mentioned by some powerful beings before their death or by some eight-star bosses..."
"Nine-Star Alliance has always existed."
"only."
"Because it is too difficult to break through the Nine Stars and human lifespan is limited, the number of Nine Star Alliance has not changed much."
"Anyway."
"It's a good thing for them that you step into the Nine-Star Alliance."
Chen Yin said.
"Um."
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
in this way.
Nature is good.
Is it the Nine Star Alliance? The existence of the top of the starry sky?
if……
If he is really qualified to participate.
Lu Ming's blood boiled a little when he thought about it. Once upon a time, he could have thought that he had the qualifications to change the world in just a few years!!! (Demolition does not count.)
only.
What Lu Ming didn't expect was...
at this time.
Buzz——
The wristband communicator vibrates.
Um?
Lu Ming glanced at it and was suddenly confused - the president of the Wizards Association invites you to join the 'I'm still young and I can come again group'.
What is this?
Lu Ming:???
What new ruins were discovered by the wizard?
brush!
He subconsciously clicked to enter.
Ding dong——
A familiar communications chat box appears.
Um……
Lu Ming glanced at the group list and was stunned. The president of the Wizards Association, the president of the Sword Cultivators Association, the president of the Elemental Masters Association, the president of the Energy Warriors Association...
etc.
Nine people in total.
Each one is nine stars.
oh.
certainly.
And our old acquaintance - the president of the Archer Association.
"Little friend Lu Ming."
"Welcome to our Nine Star Alliance."
The president of the Wizards Association sent a [rose] emoticon, "Welcome, welcome, from today on, you are a new member of our Nine Star Alliance!"
Lu Ming:???
etc.
Is this the rumored Nine Star Alliance?
Ganli Niang!
Where is the promised top of the starry sky?
And this time.
The beeping in the group started.
President of the Elementalist Association: "Congratulations."
President of the Sword Cultivator Association: "Congratulations."
President of the Energy Warrior Association: "My dear, don't you give me a red envelope?"
…
Lu Ming:???
"Hello, senior."
Lu Ming was in a trance.
"Uh-huh."
"Let's not talk about this yet."
The president of the Summoners Association stopped the topic, "This time, one is to welcome little friend Lu Ming, and the other is to discuss the process of the world."
"You mean..."
"Yes, they are here, we need to deal with them."
"Who's going?!"
"I'll do it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Bring Lu Ming with you, it would be great to let him see things. He is too young and needs to understand these things quickly..."
"Can."
The big guys quickly finished the discussion.
???
Lu Ming and the whole city were in a state of confusion.
etc.
He rubbed his head.
"that……"
Lu Ming asked weakly, "Is this the world agenda?"
"yes."
The big guys take it for granted.
"no."
Lu Ming asked cautiously, "I heard that in ancient rumors, every time the Nine Star Alliance discusses the process of the world, there are a lot of strange phenomena in the sky..."
"oh."
"What do you mean..."
The summoner boss was embarrassed, "Hey, technology was not developed in the past, and everyone lived too far away. We could only communicate by shouting loudly from the sky, which left all kinds of sequelae."
???
Lu Ming was in a daze: "Heaven, is the sky roaring?"
"yes."
The Summoner boss lamented, "Communication is very difficult because we are all at different distances, so the sounds we hear are different. At that time, there was a younger Nine-Star female boss who scolded me every day because of this...
"
???
Lu Ming asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"Because she is too close to me..."
The summoner boss curled his lips, "Every time we have a meeting, she scolds: Why are you yelling so loudly?!"
"hateful!"
"She didn't even think about it. If I lower my voice, won't those people in the distance soon be unable to hear it? Hey, that backward era..."
???
Lu Ming was shocked.
Mist grass.
turn out to be……
So this is the origin of various legends?!
"Where's that one?"
Lu Ming took a look at these people. There seemed to be no girls.
"died."
The summoner boss sighed, "That little girl has reached her end of life...and has been gone for hundreds of years."
"???"
Lu Ming was confused.
etc.
Hundreds of years?!
Jiu Xing has died of old age?!
"Then you..."
Lu Ming was shocked.
"I?"
"Live a long time."
The summoner shrugged, "Because of the summoned beasts, our summoners have a long lifespan, and my summoned beast is special..."
"Anyway."
"That's how I got through it."
"If you want, it's okay to call me Senior. If you don't think it sounds good, it's okay to call me Lao Du!"
Finished.
He casually sent a picture.
Lu Ming took a look and saw that it was an old man with an immortal spirit, riding a summoned beast through the air. However, the person riding under him was the rumored Duma...
