The field.

  The Assassin Association looked at the Sword Card Master Association coldly from afar.

  Even Liu Hai paused in his tracks, not because he hesitated but because he was curious. Why did the Sword Card Master Association think that he would choose them?

  After all……

  Everyone was aware that he loved this vocation.

  He really loved being an Assassin.

  He loved the feeling of peeping secretly……

  He liked to tail someone and then stab the back of that person when the latter was not paying attention……

  It was very exciting.

  Only being an Assassin could give him such an experience.

  Therefore……

  He had never considered other vocations!

  Not even once.

  Therefore, when he came in, none of the vocations except for the Sword Card Master Association, which had already been keeping a low profile for the past twenty minutes, reached out to him.

  “You are courting death?”


  The disciple from the Assassin Association swept a cold and aloof glance at Lu Ming.

  Hehe.

  To other people, the Sword Card Master Association was very powerful. But to them……

  Our expertise is at dealing with people like you guys with strong attack and weak defense abilities!

  So what if your attacks are very powerful and comparable to a Swordsman’s? Our one stab in the back will teach you a lesson in life!

  When you’re not paying attention……

  Hehe.

  “I think it’s better to leave the choice to him.”


  Lu Ming’s expression was calm.

  “I know what you’re thinking of.”


  The disciple from the Assassin Association smiled and said, “You’re definitely thinking of sending a disciple to challenge us and then after you win, Liu Hai will choose your association?”


  “You’re wrong!

  “You are terribly wrong!

  “Assassins will never confront someone directly!

  “So……

  “Does losing or winning matter?

  “We don’t care!

  “Do you really think that Assassins are the same as other vocations? Liu Hai, tell him what the core ability of an Assassin is!”


  The disciple of the Assassin Association wore an austere expression.

  “Concealing!”


  Liu Hai said without any hesitation.

  Yes.

  Concealing.

  As long as one had enough concealing ability, he would be able to assassinate people from any vocation! The Assassin was the top-notch vocation in concealment! There was no other vocation!

  This was the reason why he chose to be an Assassin!

  “Very good!”


  The disciple of the Assassin Association sneered. “Can the Sword Card Master Association achieve this?”


  “Of course.”


  Lu Ming smiled gently. “Actually, I always held the view that the Assassin Association’s concealing ability is so-so…… It’s true. Assassins need to conceal for a very long time before they can complete their mission. Can you guys really do that?”


  “Humph!

  “Come and try it then.”


  The disciple of the Assassin Association wore a cold and aloof expression.

  Shush!

  Lights and shadows flashed.

  He disappeared on the spot in front of everyone……

  Afterward……

  They could not find a trace of him.

  Be it his aura, figure or the afterimage, everything was gone once his disappeared!

  Wow—


  Everyone present was shaken!

  There was nothing left!

  He was gone!

  No matter how they tried to detect him, they could not see the Assassin!

  “He’s very powerful!”


  “This is the Assassin vocation, indeed!”


  “Think about it. If he comes and assassinates you……”


  The students shuddered at the thought of it.

  It was too terrifying!

  Buzz—


  Liu Hai sensed his surroundings.

  He specialized in assassination and was a six-star!

  In terms of concealment, he was better than his senior brother. Therefore, he could vaguely sense some auras but he could not ascertain the location though.

  “Please.”


  He extended an invitation to the Sword Card Master Association.

  “Didn’t you guys say that other people’s concealment is trash?

  “Come on!

  “Let’s see if you guys can find him?”


  “Okay.”


  Lu Ming smiled faintly.

  Afterward……

  His gaze landed on a few disciples. In the end, he looked at Xiaobai. “Can you do it?”


  “Okay.”


  Xiaobai stepped forward happily.

  The students were speechless.

  Crap!

  He told this young lady to take a shot again?!

  This young lady acted earlier because the Original Card that she brought along had many functions. They also understood why that young lady was a four-star at this age. It was because of her Original Card!

  However……

  Why are you getting her involved in a situation pertaining to an Assassin?

  The expression of the Assassin Association did not look good.

  They felt that they had been humiliated by the Sword Card Master Association……

  However……

  Before they could vent their rage, they saw the young lady titling her head and then walking toward a certain corner of the field.

  Crash!

  With one kick, a shadow was sent flying out.

  Shush!

  The shadow emerged.

  It was the six-star Assassin who had concealed himself!

  The Assassins were speechless.

  Liu Hai was speechless.

  Everyone was dumbstruck. He was discovered just like that?

  To hell with it!

  Everyone from the Assassin Association was puzzled.

  It was not just them. The students on-site who were quite powerful but did not manage to detect the location of the Assassin were also dumbstruck.

  Was this a magic fantasy plot?

  Was that Assassin weak?

  Of course not!

  How could he be weak when he could hide from everyone? However, this young lady……

  “Perhaps there was a fluctuation in his aura.”


  One of the disciples from the Assassin Association stepped forward and explained, “He may have encountered some glitches earlier on. Young lady, come, let me show you what true concealment is……”


  Shush!

  Lights and shadow flashed.

  This Assassin disappeared.

  The peak six-star ability was fully displayed. This time, even Liu Hai could not sense his aura.

  However……

  Xiaobai kicked toward a certain direction in the air.

  Crash!

  A shadow appeared.

  Shush!

  The audience was silent.

  Oh……

  She had really found him!

  “I’ve said before that your concealment is very weak.”


  Lu Ming said briefly, “Liu Hai, think about it carefully. If you are discovered by someone during a mission, haha, you may die.”


  Liu Hai was silent.

  It turned out that……

  The Assassin Association’s concealment had that many loopholes?!

  “Humph! Can you guys do it?!”


  The disciple from the Assassin Association sneered. “I don’t know what means you guys have adopted. Perhaps you have discovered a certain bug or loophole. But, so what?

  “Our concealment has failed, but does the Sword Card Master Association know how to conceal?!”


  That disciple was filled with doubts.

  You guys know how to find the loopholes but I don’t think you guys can achieve what we are able to do! Especially a technique of a high difficulty level such as concealment!

  Since its development, the Assassin Association had refined the concealment ability for many years.

  It was almost perfect!

  You have just established an association. Do you think you can surpass us?

  That is ridiculous!

  “Show us your concealment tactics then.”


  The disciple of the Assassin Association sneered.

  “Are you sure?”


  Lu Ming had a seeming smile on his face. “You’ll be frightened.”


  “Ludicrous.”


  The disciple from the Assassin Association laughed. “Frightened? How can you be that childish……”


  While he was speaking……

  Suddenly……

  He felt his body sinking. A scorching figure was pressed against his back, a surge of hot waves engulfed him beside his ears, and he could hear heavy, panting noises……

  “Hey, man.”


  That disciple trembled with fear on the spot.

  “Who is that?!”


  His body froze, only to discover that someone had appeared beside him unknowingly!!! The most terrifying thing was that he sensed something pressing against the lower half of his body……

  Occasionally, it would poke him.

  Terror was etched on his face when he turned around, only to discover that that man was holding a pencil in his hands……

  Oh.

  Fortunately, it was not what he had imagined.

  Wait a minute.

  This was not the main point, alright?!

  The main point was that he did not discover him even though the person was that close to him! To a six-star Assassin, this was simply something unheard of!

  The distance between them was too close!

  Yes.

  An ordinary concealment would at most be within five meters of distance.

  It would be very troublesome if he was too close to the target.

  But this……

  Damn it! He had almost entered his body and yet, he was not discovered?

  It was a terrifying thought!

  Wow—


  All the students were astounded.

  They had also witnessed this terrifying scene and were trembling all over.

  They had been observing right from the start and also scrutinizing the concealed Assassin. However, they had never noticed the presence of this person!!!

  Think about it.

  You’re at home, singing with your wife, enjoying a steamboat and happily carrying out intimate acts…… Suddenly, someone is right behind your back and then stabs you……

  Isn’t that frightening?!

  “I’m having goosebumps.”


  “Who is that?”


  “That person called Li Ergou from the Sword Card Master Association.”


  “Li Ergou……”


  Everyone was shocked.

  He was only a four-star. Yet……

  “This is truly invincible below seven-star!”


  Everyone gasped.

  A disciple from the association looked at his own master. “Master, have you long discovered his presence but didn’t tell us because you wanted to test us?”


  His master fell silent for a moment.

  After a long time……

  His master then said, “I didn’t discover it too.”


  The surrounding students were puzzled. He did not discover him too? How is that possible? You’re a seven-star!

  Afterward, they finally came to their senses and inquired with the seven-stars from various associations. They were shocked and terrified to discover that the seven-stars did not even discover him, much less the six-stars!

  Shush!

  The entire hall was silent.

  It was only until this moment that they felt spooked.

  Concealment……

  A four-star had managed to deceive a seven-star?

  Gulp!

  Everyone’s mouth turned dry.

  Even the big shots of the Assassin Association were baffled.

  Because……

  They did not discover him either.

  Of course.

  This was also because they were not paying enough attention. If they were to take a closer look with their seven-star ability thoroughly, they could still detect some traces.

  However……

  Assassinations usually occurred when one was not paying attention!

  Would they be able to detect objects with their seven-star abilities 24 hours a day?

  Obviously not!

  Well……

  “This is strange.”


  A seven-star big shot had a strange expression.

  “Why, Master?” her disciple asked.

  “This child’s aura is somewhat familiar.”


  That seven-star senior furrowed her brows tightly. She could vaguely sense the familiarity of this aura…… A few days ago, she seemed to have felt this aura in her room……

  Could it be that……

  Her expression changed slightly.

  Haha, Li Ergou, right?……

  At this very moment……

  Just as everyone was marveling about this magical concealment technique.

  “I would like to join the Sword Card Master Association!” Liu Hai yelled loudly.

  He was fully convinced!

  He felt his scalp turning numb the moment Li Ergou appeared. He then became very emotional. This was the concealment ability that he was looking for! This was what he wanted to learn!

  This is it!

  And……

  After careful consideration, he could also learn the ‘automatically cultivating’ ability as well as develop a combat ability that was comparable to a Swordsman’s!

  Perhaps……

  This was then the true identity of an Assassin!!!

  Hence……

  Liu Hai joined the association.

  The Assassin Association looked dazed.

  It turned out that……

  The Sword Card Master Association was that powerful in concealment?

  Since that was the case, what was the point of having an Assassin Association?

  “It’s okay.”


  Lu Ming consoled, “There are too many people who want to become Assassins. We only accept the most talented ones. The Assassin Association is still the biggest Assassin Association. We won’t compete with you guys.”


  “Oh.”


  The Assassin Association felt thankful……

  To hell with it?!

  Damn!

  Weren’t they considered the number two then?!

  It turned out that Lu Ming meant this when he had said ‘All of you are number two?’ in the beginning?!

  Right then……

  The Assassin Association was teary-eyed.

  The Swordsman Association was teary-eyed.

  The Summoner Association was teary-eyed……

  “Welcome.”


  Lu Ming was very satisfied.

  There were now three top-notch talents in the second generation of his disciples!

  Tsk tsk……

  They had already completed one-tenth of their overall goal!

  If all the students from The First Academy had such top-notch cultivation endowments, he might be able to change his destiny after today’s on-campus job fair!

  However……

  It was such a pity.

  The remaining students did not possess such talent. Of course, all the students of The First Academy were quite talented. This benchmark was only referring to people like Liu Hai.

  Shush!

  Shush!

  One by one, students entered the field.

  Interestingly, they would glance at the Sword Card Master Association when they came in.

  Yes.

  After three storms, they finally understood that, contrary to their thoughts, the Sword Card Master Association was not trying to gain fame by riding on the popularity of the job fair!

  This association was truly powerful!

  They depended on themselves and fought the three major associations head-on. They even won in the end!

  If one were to think about it, joining a Sword Card Master Association was tantamount to joining three associations. Combat, pet and assassination – they had everything! It sounded very amazing!

  Of course.

  Most importantly, the scenes of four-star defeating six-stars instantly left a very deep impression on them!

  Be it Lu Ming’s mental strength, Miss Xiaobai’s ability to detect concealment or Li Ergou’s concealment ability, this vocation had taken their breaths away!

  Who would not want to join such an association?

  This vocation was their first choice!

  However……

  It was such a pity.

  The Sword Card Master Association did not make any moves again.

  Shush!

  Shush!

  Groups of students stepped into the field. Sometimes, they came in groups of 20s or 30s but the Sword Card Master Association did not move an inch.

  The students were very disappointed.

  Some people went to the Sword Card Master Association voluntarily but were rejected.

  Hence……

  The Sword Card Master Association became the legend of the on-campus job fair……

  Very soon……

  Mid-way through the on-campus job fair.

  Since no one was meddling, the students did not need to step forward one by one. All the associations of the on-campus job fair began to start recruitment and the progress was extremely fast.

  Of course.

  Most importantly, the associations wanted to end this as quickly as possible……

  It was true.

  In the past, during each on-campus job fair, the students would join the associations with mixed feelings of anticipation, excitement and nervousness. The elders were delighted to watch them.

  But now?

  Look at these garbage students!

  They joined their association directly but were looking at the Sword Card Master Association with a look of regret in their eyes?

  What did this mean?!

  Did they take the other association as a substitute?!

  Yes.

  Almost every graduate would glance in the direction of the Sword Card Master Association with a longing gaze and hoped to hear a familiar sound……

  The various associations found it difficult to describe their feelings in a few words.

  It was too awful!

  Hence……

  They sped up their assessment system and hoped to finish up as soon as possible. The rate at which the on-campus job fair proceeded gradually caught up the original timeline planned.

  Shush!

  Shush!

  Groups of students entered.

  Just as everyone almost forgot about Sword Card Masters.

  Suddenly……

  That familiar voice rang again.

  People looked up instinctively and saw a certain salted fish president underlining the words ‘strongest in the cohort’ diligently.

  Afterward……

  The eyes of the group of 20 students who walked in shone instantly. All of them turned around and said simultaneously, “I’m willing to join the Sword Card Master Association!”


  The various associations were speechless.

  Damn!

  That was too humiliating?!……
