Chapter 303: Can You Teach Me This?

Breeze Pavilion.

The assessment was still going on in the small world.

Everyone, including the teenager who was the examiner, was dumbstruck that Lu Ming had managed to catch up with them at the last minute. The teenager wore a dazed expression as he stared at Lu Ming’s basket.

Why did the elemental fruits sit so quietly in the basket?!

Shush!

Shush!

Lu Ming lifted his hands and a few more elemental fruits fell into the basket.

Others sensed and plucked the fruits one by one and did the testing one at a time, while he plucked a few at one go and dumped them into the basket...

The cultivators had an emotional breakdown.

Serious.

He could not behave like that!

Did he consider the feelings of other people?

There was no need for comparison or ranking. They watched helplessly as Lu Ming’s basket was filled with more and more fruits. Very soon, he had surpassed all of them in having the most fruits.

“Can one pluck the fruits in such a manner?”

One cultivator stared at Lu Ming and began to imitate him.

Shush.

He grabbed a fruit.

Crash!

There was a deafening sound.

There was a ‘minus twenty’ in his basket.

That person was speechless.

Damn!

Didn’t Lu Ming pluck all of them at one go?

“I must kill him!

I must definitely kill him!”

One cultivator was furious.

“Second brother!

Calm down, Second brother!”

His companion tried hard to rein him in. Damn! Second brother has a nasty temper. He’s gotten riled up several times!

“Master, you are amazing!”

Stars twinkled in Xiaobai’s eyes.

Hum.

Indeed, her master did not lie to her.

In fact, she had quietly prepared some elemental fruits and decided to pass them to her master secretly. She did not expect that he had completed the assessment!

“Let me look at it.”

The teenager walked forward.

He felt that there was a need to see what tricks Lu Ming was up to.

Hence...

He stopped in front of Lu Ming. He looked inside his basket to check the elemental fruits. He even took out one to check and feel its texture.

This thing...

The teenager frowned.

...

“The examiner has stepped in.”

“Unless one cheats, if not it is impossible for the elemental fruits to not have any conflicts with each other. Lu Ming must have used some ways to cancel out the characteristics of the elements!”

“I have tried this method... and I was given a warning.”

“I see.”

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

Try to cancel the characteristics of the elements?

This...

This would definitely not count!

After all...

The essence of perception was integration!

One would definitely be given a warning if one canceled the elements’ characteristics. If one was incorrigible and refused to listen, one would be disqualified! Therefore, Lu Ming might be disqualified!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this very moment...

The teenager stood in front of Lu Ming and he had indeed noticed something odd.

A shield?

The teenager sighed. This was too much. This was such a simple assessment. Why did he resort to tricks? People from this era were indeed very troublesome.

“You...”

He was about to reprimand Lu Ming when he noticed something odd.

This texture...

Eh?

He was surprised to find that this thing seemed to be similar to the traditional method of completely enclosing it. This thing... it seemed there was a thin film attached on top...

This was merely an isolation technique!

The effect of the elements had not been reduced!

This thing...

The teenager’s heart jumped a beat.

He could see clearly that if this thing were to be used in the integration of the elements...

“Can this be used to integrate elements?”

The teenager was expectant.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming did not hesitate at all.

Back then when he was doing research for the Burial Mound Warrior cards , and tested the application of the Isolation Film, it resulted in two great inventions, Frosty Sorrow and Flames of Joy!

All of them could be used!

The teenager was full of anticipation.

Although the Spiritualist had passed on their legacy since a long time ago until now, they had never seen such a special ability... If this could be used together with their abilities...

Hence...

The teenager could not help but feel excited.

“This... Can you teach me this?”

He asked seriously.

Shush!

There was dead silence in Breeze Pavilion.

The cultivators looked at the teenager with a dazed look. They did not expect that instead of sending Lu Ming away, he made a request for Lu Ming to teach him the ability!

“Can you teach me this?

“What was that?!”

He was the inheritor!

He was the disciple of the Breeze Pavilion!

The cultivators had an emotional breakdown.

“Second brother! Calm down, Second brother!”

One cultivator grabbed his companion in time.

His companion pulled a long face. “Let me go! I am not thinking of beating him! No matter how angry I am, I won’t beat the inheritor to death! If I do, no one else will pass the legacy onto us.”

“Oh.”

The cultivator let go of him.

At this very moment...

Lu Ming was confused.

Initially, he intended to quickly collect the elemental fruits and hence he created a pile of Isolation Films. Given his abilities, it was an easy feat.

Afterward...

This was what happened.

The big shot at the Breeze Pavilion marveled at his ability...

Everyone would be shocked at this change of events!

In fact, he found it very odd as well. If it was common to collect the elemental fruits in Breeze Pavilion, shouldn’t they do a better job at it?

Why didn’t they wrap a film around them?

Hence...

Lu Ming voiced his doubts.

“The thing about elemental fruits... Once it leaves its growing environment, it needs to take in a small amount of air to maintain its freshness. Once it is wrapped... Its activeness will decline in a short period of time and it will decay,” the teenager explained.

In a sense, the elemental fruits and the integration of the elements were similar!

Seal it completely?

It was meaningless.

However...

Lu Ming’s film was very magical.

He could isolate the characteristic of the elements, yet he did not completely remove the energy. One could feel a faint amount of energy that was flowing gradually.

“What is it called?” the teenager asked.

“Dure... Isolation Film.”

Initially, Lu Ming wanted to use a modern noun, but given that it was created by others, it would not be nice to change its name.

“Isolation Film?”

The teenager exclaimed. “The person must be a genius to have invented this!”

“Indeed.”

Lu Ming believed so.

Outstanding!

“Then this ability...”

The teenager was expectant.

“We shall talk about it after the legacy,” Lu Ming said in a low voice.

“Understood!”

The teenager smiled faintly.

Hence...

The surrounding practitioners were expressionless while they watched the examiner and Lu Ming strike a deal under the tree.

Where was the fairness he had promised?!

“The elemental fruits are more special. If you can innovate with them too that will be accepted as well,” the teenager told them.

One cultivator was tempted and he had the impulse to try out new tricks on the elemental fruits.

Afterward...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There were several explosions!

“Heh.”

The teenager merely watched him calmly by the side. The Spiritualists had already tried out and researched the traditional methods for several years. They had found no other way. Lu Ming’s method was the only way that could work!

Therefore, they had to learn from him!

Of course.

There was no hurry, perhaps...

...

After a long while...

The assessment ended.

Everyone carried a sullen expression.

Lu Ming had plucked half of the elemental fruits!

The other cultivators had twenty to thirty elemental fruits in their baskets, while he had hundreds of thousands of elemental fruits in his basket. His basket was densely packed with fruits.

Xiaobai had picked quite a lot of fruits as well.

The cultivators only got the remaining fruits.

In that case...

Although whoever qualified for the Spiritualist assessment would be accepted, due to Lu Ming and Xiaobai, they only had very few fruits...

None of them qualified!

“Remember!

“In the future, if Lu Ming participates in a legacy, we must definitely not join in!”

The cultivators spoke through clenched teeth.

There was no choice.

He was a conman!

Although they had to compete with each other in the legacy, the way Lu Ming competed was...

It was a headache!

“Forget it.”

The teenager looked at the scene and was between laughter and tears. “We will take your results before Lu Ming started to collect fruits. In that case, we can determine your elemental perception ability.”

This was the only way.

Lu Ming had made a total wreck of the elemental perception test twice in a row. There was nothing that they could do!

However...

Fortunately... It was ending.

The legacy of Breeze Pavilion was simple. There were only three basic assessments: talents, perception and conversion. Once the assessments were completed, they could determine the results!

Talent: testing one’s element affinity.

Perception: testing one’s perception of the integration of elements.

Conversion: testing one’s conversion ability after becoming a Spiritualist.

Conversion was simple.

Because in essence, the so-called conversion test was testing how much energy could be retained after the conversion of the Spiritualist legacy!

This was the real test of one’s ability!

This time...

They would be tested on their abilities!

“It’s coming!”

The cultivators were thrilled.

Especially the big shots who had attained six-stars!

Although they were defeated by Lu Ming in the previous talents assessment and perception assessment, Lu Ming would rank the lowest in the simplest assessment of one’s conversion ability!

How powerful was Lu Ming?

They took a glance at him.

Wel; he was a beginner four-star!

This meant that even if he had a perfect 100% conversion, after receiving the legacy and converting energy, he would at most be a beginner four-star Spiritualist!

But what about them?

Six-star!

Even if they could not convert all their energy, they were still six-star Spiritualists!

Furthermore...

According to the examiner, the Spiritualist legacy would be able to retain all the energy in their vocation cores. Therefore, what was tested... was one’s ability!

Although they were at a disadvantage in the previous two rounds, they could turn the tables to win!

...

Conversion?

Lu Ming squinted.

He had been through the Lunar Shadow legacy. He was very clear of what a ‘complete ancient legacy’ site should have as well as what was the most important element of the assessment!

It was one’s comprehension!!!

What was a legacy?

It was the capability to pass on abilities to others!

One must have strong comprehension skills to be able to understand the legacy!

The reason why Lunar Shadow had no other choice but to pass on the legacy to Lu Ming instead of other Swordsmen was because of their comprehension. He wanted Lu Ming to pass on the legacy!

And right now...

Perhaps the Spiritualist legacy did not require comprehension skills?

No way!

If one’s comprehension skills were 10%, after receiving the legacy, they would remain at 10%...

According to Lu Ming’s understanding, some of the legacies that majored in physical fitness would not take into account one’s comprehension. However, it was obvious this was not the case for the Elementalist!

“This is becoming more and more interesting, right?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

The thousand-year-old legacy...

Heh.

He wanted to know what these guys were up to!

“Xiaobai, stay close to me.”

“Okay.”

The young and the old went forward.

A distance away, lights and shadows inverted.

There was a huge mirror!

“Everyone...

“This is the core of the small world of the Breeze Pavilion!

“Based on one’s current ability, it can deduce your ability after conversion. If you stand in front of the mirror, you will see your estimated ability in it!”

The teenager smiled faintly.

“Oh?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. This was amazing!

“I’ll do it!”

One burly man rushed forward.

Shush!

Lights and shadows condensed.

There was a tremor in the mirror. A figure that looked exactly like him appeared in the mirror. Surrounding lights and shadows constantly flashed, until they finally solidified.

Shush!

The data flashed on the mirror: conversion rate, zero.

The burly man was puzzled. “What is zero?”

“What do you think?”

The teenager was expressionless.

This burly man that had zero affinity with heaven and earth was really incredible. This was the last stage of the legacy. There was rarely any error in the conversion, however he failed at this stage!

Was it possible to be rejected?

“Alright.”

The burly man gave up.

This sissy vocation was indeed unsuitable for him!

“I’ll do it!”

Li Jianli sneered.

Shush!

He strode forward to stand in front of the mirror. There were many lights and shadows on the mirror. They kept flashing and rows of conversions appeared and disappeared.

72%!

51%!

18%!

66%!

...

Shush.

In the end...

The conversion rate stopped at 82%!

82%!

This was the highest number that appeared.

Everyone was lost in their thoughts. It seemed that the final result would be the highest number that appeared in the lights and shadows in the mirror! The highest figure would be the final conversion rate!

“82%.”

Li Jianli was thrilled.

This meant that he would be considered a peak five-star Spiritualist?!

“Not bad.”

The teenager was pleased.

The conversion rate was already very high!

The Spiritualist sect had high requirements for foundations. One had to have a strong foundation. Therefore, if the weak cultivators converted by force, they would not even reach 10%!

After the conversion, a five-star might end up a four-star!

82%?

It suggested that the person had a strong foundation.

“Heh.”

Li Jianli felt very smug with his results. He looked contemptuously at Lu Ming, as if saying: ‘Look, after the legacy, I have stronger abilities than him!’

“Congratulations, Mr Li[1]”

Lu Ming was full of emotions.

“My surname is Li... with the third tone...”

Li Jianli pulled a long face.

“That’s what I said, Mr Li[2].”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

Li Jianli was silent.

He had a sudden urge to strangle Lu Ming!

Calm down!

He had to calm down!

He was close to getting the legacy. He must not be reckless!

...

“I will give it a try as well.”

The most talented cultivator that had previously obtained high affinities for fire and water walked into the site cautiously. There were many conversion rates on the mirror.

However...

His lowest conversion rate was as high as 70%!

In the end...

It stopped at a very high number—96%!

“Wow—”

The cultivators were stunned.

96%!

Damn!

This was a shocking conversion rate...

This meant that there was seamless conversion when he converted from a Fire Elementalist to a Spiritualist. He could receive a huge amount of the legacy!

“He is very powerful!”

Everyone was shocked.

The examiner was astonished as well.

True enough.

He majored in fire and water elements and his abilities had overlapped perfectly with the sect...

Heh.

At this very moment...

One by one, the cultivators entered the assessment site.

Regardless of whether they were willing to be a Spiritualist or not, they did not mind taking the test to check what their conversion rate to a Spiritualist was.

Some of them were six-stars, but their conversion rate was only 30%.

Some of them were five-stars, while their conversion rate was 90%!

It was intriguing.

Everyone went for the test and the ranking was out. Finally, they rested their gazes on Miss Xiaobai.

They knew that the young lady was talented...

Perhaps her conversion rate would be 100%?!

...

“Master?”

Xiaobai looked toward Lu Ming.

“Give it a try.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“Yes.”

Xiaobai stepped into the site.

Many numbers flashed in the mirror.

However...

It was unlike what they imagined. All the figures were 100%. There was nothing lower...

All of the numbers were 100%!

In the end...

Xiaobai’s conversion rate: 100%!

“True enough.”

Everyone was astonished.

However, they were very clear that this young lady was only a four-star. She was not a threat. Even if she had a 100% conversion rate, she was at most a beginner four-star!

Afterward...

It was Lu Ming’s turn.

“Can I not go?”

Lu Ming sighed.

“Since you are already here...”

The teenager spoke in a gentle tone.

A—alright.

Lu Ming sighed.

He looked at the cultivators in the distance. All of them cast meaningful glances at him. Some of them even had a look of schadenfreude. Fine, they were here to watch the fun...

Alright.

He defeated them in the previous two assessments. He would pay them back now!

This assessment...

To put it plainly, it was pointless even if he had a result of 100%. Therefore, it did not matter to Lu Ming. He walked to stand in front of the mirror.

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed. Some data floated in the mirror.

36%!

22%!

24%!

...

The surrounding cultivators laughed.

True enough.

To Lu Ming who fared average for all the affinities, his conversion rate was shockingly low. Given that his energy level was low, in that case, his final result...

Shush!

Lights and shadows condensed.

The result was about to be finalized when the lights and shadows paused briefly and a number suddenly appeared.

Shush!

The screen froze.

Lu Ming’s conversion rate: 98.5%.

The expression on everyone’s face froze immediately. This result...

Damn, are you kidding me!
