Chapter 232 Match Ended?
" Why do I feel my past life was more tangled than my present life?" Long Ming gave a bitter smile as he took a small sip of wine.
However, He couldn\'t help but feel the surge of sorrow and sadness when he recalled all the scenes. The death of his parents, the death of his butler, His transformation into a cold blooded monster by Poison Hands, and killing his uncle Zhuxi, everything was too much for current Long Ming to comprehend.
\' But at least I killed that bastard. I avenged the death of my father and mother.\' Long Ming clenched the cup in his hands as he thought inwardly.
Looking at the sky outside, he couldn\'t help sigh.
In his past life, he had a strange body physique called Profound Yin Eclipse Body. The possessor of this body won\'t be able to live past the age of twenty.
However, due to Poison Hands\' experimentations, Long Ming\'s body transformed into Jade Venom Yin Body. Not only did his life expectancy increased, his body became a living chemical weapon.
With a single scratch, he can kill someone with the natural poison in his body. Not to mention, if also gives him a terrifying aptitude as a martial artist.
But everything for what?
Long Ming walked in the path of an assassin, killing countless people with his hands. There was no joy or sorrow in his heart anymore, just a mechanism to accept tasks and kill his target.
Long Ming remembered the faint voice he heard when he killed the first person in this world.
\' Don\'t…Kill… Live…Normally.\'
Now he realizes who said that.
\' Was that you, My past self?\' Long Ming sighed as he closed his eyes. \' Do you want me to pick a different path? A path where I don\'t have to be a ruthless killer like you?\'
\' I see… It was me all along. It was me who wanted to stop myself from descending into darkness once more.\'
Long Ming gave a bitter smile as he shook his head. As he cleared all thoughts from his head, the door opened and Mu Qinglian walked inside.
" Yo-You are here!" Mu Qinglian was surprised when she saw Long Ming.
He was sitting half naked and drinking wine, he looked very absent minded as if he was lost in thoughts.
" Un, Senior Sister Mu?" Long Ming woke up from his stupor as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " What happened? You look alright now." Mu Qinglian noticed Long Ming\'s strange cold and merciless killing intent vanished without a trace.
" Yes, I am alright now." Long Ming gave a wry smile. " I apologize for making all of you worried."
" It\'s alright, Long Ming." Mu Qinglian nodded as she sat before Long Ming. " Besides, Thank you for helping me too."
" I just did what I was supposed to do. There is no need to thank me." Long Ming waved his hand.
" Well, I thought you just wanted to beat up Shu Gongyan enough, so I can fight with him with equal strength?" Mu Qinglian gave an amused smile. " Why did you kill him?"
" What can I say?" Long Ming laughed loudly. " Someone people just court death too good. I have to grant their wishes, right?"
" En, You should have seen the expressions of Sky Martial Tower\'s elders and disciples. Not to mention, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain also behaved like someone fed them a pile of fresh shit."
" Senior Sister, I thought you never cursed?" Long Ming was a bit taken aback. " Where is your elegant and charming demeanor?" Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
" Hmph, It\'s only you here." Mu Qinglain leaned back on the sofa leisurely. "Also, You won\'t tell anyone about this, right?"
" Besides, Where are Sister Ming, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Xiao\'er?"
" Uhh…"
Long Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " They all are resting after helping me to suppress my ailments. So, you shouldn\'t disturb them."
" Is that so?" Mu Qinglian\'s nose twitched as he looked at Long Ming. " Why do I feel the scent here is strange? It smells funny and a bit…too feminine… It seems like I have smelled this thing in Eternal Spring Tower…"
" ANYWAY!" Long Ming draped a robe and dragged Mu Qinglian outside.
" I wanted to know how much time has passed?"
" Around eight hours?" Mu Qinglian rolled his eyes. " Don\'t worry, Today\'s ceremony has ended. The final participants who will fight for the rank one positions are…"
" Long Ming and Han Cheng."
" I got straight to the finals?" Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. " What about you, Senior Sister Mu?"
" Well, I have already exposed my strength. I don\'t have much trump cards." Mu Qinglian spoke. " Not to mention, I actually got disqualified along with Shu Changyan."
" That\'s absurd." Long Ming snorted. " The Imperial Family was doing this to appease the Sky Martial Tower."
" It looks like you know." Mu Qinglian smiled. \' Besides, You are qualified for the finals. It\'s already a win for the Four Seasons Valley."
" Han Cheng is strong, you have to be careful." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.
" It will be held after two days, so both parties can fight in their peak conditions." " However, You don\'t need to push yourself into danger like now."
" Just give your best, Long Ming. You already did a lot for our sect."
" Mm…Thanks for the compliment, Senior Sister." Long Ming smiled brightly as he looked at Mu Qinglian.
" En, It\'s alright." Mu Qinglian nodded. " You should go and rest."
" You should too, Senior Sister."
However, Long Ming couldn\'t be bothered to take a rest as he could feel his body was completely rejuvenated.
Sitting on the chair, he took out the spatial ring which he took from Shu Gongyan. Although it was locked after his death, Long Ming used his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, His knowledge of runes, and inscriptions to crack it slowly.
After cracking, he used his divine sense and saw the contents inside. He was shocked when he saw a mountain of high grade spirit stones, various weapons and treasures, and medicinal pills inside.
" Not bad, He was the saint child of Sky Martial Tower. He carried all sorts of treasures, huh?" Long Ming mumbled as he casually glanced through all the treasures.
" Huh? What\'s this?"
He found a heavy metal box. Out of curiosity, he opened it. Long Ming\'s eyes widened when a multicolored ray seeped out from the box, making the space around it distort.
" This… This is a box full of Spatial Heart Crystals?" Long Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw that.
The Spatial Heart Crystals, as its name implies, are crystals filled with spatial energy. Unlike the chaotic spatial energy, the spatial energy of the Spatial Heart Crystals is very pure and stable. These are also used to create powerful space attribute talismans beyond Earth grade.
Long Ming was having trouble finding space attribute treasures that could help his Spatial Light Physique to reach the Minor Completion stage.
" Hahaha! I am really lucky. To think I will find so many high grade Spatial Heart Crystals right here." Long Ming laughed loudly.
" Thank you, Shu Gongyan. I hope you will spend one day less in hell due to your help."
Long Ming put the box away as he got up. Since he got two days off, he wanted to spend some time exploring the Holy Qilin City.
Therefore, He first went to the Royal Alchemy Garden. After all, He already got a token from the Elder Xu, so He can come and go from the Royal Alchemy Garden as he wishes.
However, Arriving there, He saw an unexpected person there.
" Han Cheng?"

Two days passed as the crowd was eager to witness the legendary match between Long Ming and Han Cheng. They were already thrilled to see the fight between Long Ming and Shu Gongyan.
Therefore, everyone was eager to find out the true strength of Long Ming and Han Cheng.
" Who do you think will win?"
" I mean, Long Ming has a Minor Completion Imperial Body."
" But Han Cheng also didn\'t show his full strength."
" Yeah, Are you forgetting he is from Heavenly Cloud Palace of Central Province?"
" The betting is on! Hurry up and bet."
" Look, It\'s 2:8 odds. We can win eight times our money if Han Cheng wins."
" Is that so?"
Even the Emperor became interested as he gazed at the stage.
As Han Cheng and Long Ming stood on the stage, they looked at each other with a smile.
" Alright, The match begins!"
Long Ming\'s body moved as his palm struck Han Cheng\'s chest.
Han Cheng let out a painful groan as he crashed outside the stage. With a struggling arm, he shouted.
" Ahh, I am in so much pain…Uh…I guess I will admit defeat."
Long Ming nodded. " Yes, I won."
