The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"What do you mean?"

"Ever since the magic rain was cast, Ricard has been using his inner energy to shatter those magic arrows, and now he probably doesn't have much left. And a warrior's inner energy, unlike a mage's magic power, cannot be replenished with potions. So even if Ricard sees through Lu Ming's phantom and realizes that he's not very strong, he can't retaliate much. He probably only has enough inner energy left for one 'Crimson Strike' at most."

Why would you...?

Viscount Hatu's daughter smiled, then said somewhat sinisterly, "Like the Countess's daughter, I treat my partner as a tool. How can we hold a tool in our hands if we don't understand it? Of course, if the tool turns against us, we won't hesitate to kill the disobedient partner! Don't think that Yusaha Sachi really likes Lu Ming. She just sees hope in him."

Viscount Hatu glanced back, his face calm as he watched Lu Ming and Likat's woman dueling on the platform. He couldn't believe that such a terrifying person was his daughter!

Meanwhile, the Soul Frostfall was almost over, and only a few arrows remained unfurled.

"You're very powerful. If I didn't know this magic, I probably wouldn't be able to beat you." As the Soul Frost ended and the phantom on his body was about to disappear, Lu Ming retreated to a safe place. While drinking the last bottle of Elemental Ash Bottle, he cautiously watched Licard, who had been hit by Soul Frost several times.

"You don't need to be modest. You're just a magic apprentice, yet you've beaten a swordsman to a pulp. That's enough to brag about!" Despite being a genius, Ricard wasn't particularly bothered by defeat. In his view, losing was just losing; there was no need to be sad or furious. So his smile was bright and sunny, which Lu Ming found a little irritating.

What was striking was not Licarte's smile or his personality, but the intense aura emanating from him!

The protective aura is invisible and colorless; it can only be seen when it is slashed by a sword aura.

But at this moment, Lu Ming could clearly see the aura emanating from Likat's body. It was dark red, the same color as fresh blood.

It clung to Licat's body, like the face of a monster glaring at him, so grotesque it was unimaginable.

Finally, the Soul Frost ended. And the illusory image of the Crystallized Elder on Lu Ming's body also disappeared.

However, the aura around Kelicart's body increased so much that it was enough to transform him into a demonic beast!

"Next is my final and strongest strike. I hope you can survive, Officer Lu Ming." Likat smiled, gathering all his inner energy into his longsword, causing it to twist and shatter.

"A smiling tiger? I hate students like that the most." Lu Ming smiled helplessly, then slowly opened his mouth, swallowing up all the afterglow of the setting sun.

"They're going to use their last move to fight it out." "I wonder who's stronger?" "Is it even a question? It's definitely Licat!"

Watching one crush a longsword with his inner energy, using it entirely as a weapon, and the other devour the sun's afterglow, transforming its power into cannonballs, the nobles began to speculate about who would ultimately prevail.

Only Lily, Yusaha, and Viscount Hatu's daughter remained completely unfazed. They all knew that neither Lu Ming nor Likat could withstand this attack unscathed.

“Scarlet…” “Raster…”

The qi on the sword transformed into a dark red qi sword, and the afterglow from its mouth turned into a silver-white cannonball.

"...Strike!" Licard swung his Qi Sword, unleashing a final sword strike.

"...Cannon!" Lu Ming fired the grating cannon at maximum power, aiming directly at Licarte's body.

In the center of the arena, the dark red sword energy slash and the silver-white energy ball grazed each other and shot straight toward their respective targets!

"Oh no!" The Countess and Viscount Saldal exclaimed in unison as soon as they saw that the Crimson Strike and the Grating Cannon had not collided.

If this situation continues, it could very well cause Erebus to lose two talents who would have made Erebus famous throughout the entire Kingdom of Miracaisar! Regardless of the outcome, if Lu Ming and Licate are both dead, then Grand Duke Ramtes Hedist of Erebus will surely hang everyone present!

"Lu Ming!!" Just as the Countess and the Grand Duke's son were worried about their safety, Lily and Yusahar in the crowd called out Lu Ming's name out of concern!

Seeing the rapidly approaching sword energy, Lu Ming knew he couldn't dodge it! So he simply used the Behem Magic Staff and the Crystal Rapier to block in front of him, attempting to use these two exceptionally tough items in Plu to deflect Ricard's full-force attack.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ricard, who had the same idea, took out a huge and sturdy shield from his spatial artifacts and looked at the approaching grating cannon with a fierce look.

"BOOM!!!"

The sword energy slashed against the combined defense of the magic staff and the crystal rapier, the immense impact propelling Lu Ming backward. Even the deep grooves left by the black knight's iron boots couldn't stop him.

Meanwhile, on Ricard's side, a violent explosion occurred when the grating cannon struck his shield. The scattered light gradually tore through Ricard's shield, forcing him to retreat rapidly. He then took out another shield, using it to block the light from the grating cannon after it had shattered the previous one.

"Damn it! No wonder the internet says time travel isn't a good thing!" Lu Ming gritted his teeth, struggling against the tearing force of the sword energy slash as he was forcibly pushed against the wall of the barrier by the sword energy slash and the barrier itself.

As time went by, many cracks appeared on Pihem's magic staff, and finally, it was torn apart by the sword energy, along with the flesh on Lu Ming's hand and his arm armor!

"Boom!!"

However, the first person to be hit was not Lu Ming.

Licarta, directly opposite him, switched shields twice, but failed to block the grating cannon. Instead, the light bursting from it slammed into the barrier!

However, Lu Ming's good fortune didn't last long either. The crystal rapier he had just acquired was slowly shattered by Likat's sword energy slash and was eventually torn apart!

The sword energy slash also struck Lu Ming's chest!

The silvery white of steel and the dark red of the qi instantly filled the entire barrier, making it impossible for anyone to see what was inside.

At this point, no one cared who won or lost. Because in such a situation, it was almost impossible for anyone to survive.

Lily, thinking Lu Ming was probably dead, buried her face in Yusaha's chest and cried. But at that moment, the silver and dark red colors receded simultaneously, revealing Lu Ming and Ricard still standing inside the barrier.

Although they were seriously injured, Lu Ming and Licat were still alive.

But soon, Licat fell first. Then, Lu Ming, the only one still standing, also slowly collapsed a second later.

"Release the barrier! Priests and white mages, go in and rescue them!" Upon seeing this, Viscount Saldal immediately shouted at the priests and one or two white mages who were already prepared.

Third update complete. To be honest, I don't really understand what "fighting spirit" is. Is it the ki from Dragon Ball, or something else entirely?

Chapter Twenty-Five - The Baron in Name Only

'An unfamiliar ceiling. Is this a noble hospital? It's so luxurious...' Waking up from unconsciousness, Lu Ming was greeted by a snow-white ceiling. Looking around at the empty yet impeccably clean environment, and the bandages on his body, Lu Ming mistakenly thought he was in a noble hospital.

However, the door to the room was soon pushed open.

A red-haired girl dressed somewhat elegantly, but far less so than an aristocrat, walked in carrying a tray filled with all sorts of medicine bottles.

Seeing that Lu Ming had woken up, she quickly placed the plate on the bedside table, bowed slightly to him respectfully, and said, "I am your butler, Sham. Please let me know if you need anything. Also, you have been unconscious for three days, Your Excellency!"

Sham's obsequious manner made Lu Ming feel somewhat flattered. However, due to his injuries, Lu Ming was unable to speak much, so he could only look at the phone on the bedside table.

Upon seeing this, Sham immediately picked up his phone, placed it next to Lu Ming, and had Lu Ming take out the element bottle from it. He then fed Lu Ming the drink mouth-to-mouth.

Yes, mouth to mouth!

Because he couldn't move Lu Ming's body to avoid reopening the wound, Sham put the contents of the element bottle in his mouth and fed it to Lu Ming.

Whether intentionally or not, Sham licked Lu Ming's lips while feeding him the medicine, making Lu Ming blush bright red.

After drinking from the Elemental Bottle, Lu Ming's injuries healed somewhat, and he was able to speak and drink from it himself. So Lu Ming wanted Sham, the girl who claimed to be his housekeeper, to leave temporarily. Before he could even speak, Sham bowed and left on her own.

This left Lu Ming, who was completely unaware of what was going on, with a somewhat acceptable, but not very good, impression of Sham. After all, what he had just done was taunting!

After drinking two bottles of elemental vials, Lu Ming, who was almost fully recovered, lifted the blanket covering him and slowly unwrapped the bandages. He then changed into a set of clothes from the wardrobe that appeared to be based on the [Greed Crystal].

"A baron? I thought it was just talk. I didn't expect the Grand Duke to be so generous! But, this baron title was given to me so inexplicably, is there something fishy going on?" Standing in front of the mirror, looking at himself, Lu Ming tied up his rather long hair with a short blue ribbon while muttering to himself about why he had actually become a baron.

"Lu Ming!" Just as Lu Ming finished tying his hair up and was about to go out to see what was happening, Lily and Yusaha suddenly pushed open the door, walked in, and rushed into his arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Holding the two girls who were crying in his arms, Lu Ming patted their heads and said with a smile, "See, I'm all better now, aren't I?"

Unexpectedly, Lily and Yusahar cried even harder.

Lu Ming, feeling a bit of a headache, finally managed to get Lily and Yusaha to stop crying after much persuasion and time, which took more than ten minutes.

"So my baronial title was just a title after all!" After Lily and Yusaha stopped crying, Lu Ming inquired about his title. Yusaha told him that his baronial title was merely a name. He had no real power, no land, and could only employ a maximum of three servants. Essentially, it was just a change from a commoner sheriff to a noble sheriff; nothing much had changed.

Furthermore, the place they are currently in is not a noble hospital, but Lu Ming's own residence.

Although this house is not as large as Yusahar's previous one, apart from a few rooms for servants on the first floor, the second floor only has a master bedroom, three guest rooms, and a study.

"Is this my home? It's really nice!" Walking out of the room with Lily and Yusaha, Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after briefly looking around at the layout of his mansion. This drew some displeasure from Yusaha, who was standing nearby.

After all, Lu Ming's previous assessment of her residence was just average.

However, this cannot be blamed on Lu Ming. Someone like him, forced to live under someone else's roof and constantly having his things stolen by Yusaha, would hardly have a good impression of her mansion!

Moreover, after realizing that this was his home, Lu Ming made Yusaha promise to obey him from now on and to follow his orders regarding equipment, or he would kick her out of the house.

The consequence... was that he got pinched hard by Yusaha. But he also received Yusaha's assurance, so it wasn't too bad.

As soon as Lu Ming stepped into the lobby on the first floor, his eyes were drawn to the 'tails' of his two unfamiliar maids.

"Ah! Your Excellency, you're awake?" As if noticing that Lu Ming was looking at them, the two maids immediately stopped what they were doing, hurriedly ran over, bowed slightly to Lu Ming, and introduced themselves.

"My name is Miao Na! I'm your tailor and florist, and the clothes you're wearing were made by Miao Na~!" The maid, who looked only eleven or twelve years old and had a cat tail and ears, said to Lu Ming with great energy.

"I am Wang Na... I am... your cook. If there is anything you don't like, please... please tell me. I... I will try my best not to do it..." The maid, who had dog ears and a tail and looked to be just over ten years old, said shyly to Lu Ming.

Looking at the two maids whose personalities seemed completely reversed, Lu Ming didn't know what to say or where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

“I found these two girls at an orphanage in the city. If they don’t suit your taste, I’ll send them back now.” Sham, who was not far away, walked over and said respectfully when he saw that Lu Ming didn’t speak or make any gesture.

Upon hearing this, Miao Na and Wang Na immediately looked at Lu Ming with teary eyes, as if to say, "If you dare say you'll send them away, we'll cry right now." This startled Lu Ming, who quickly said, "No need. The two of them are fine."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Upon hearing that Lu Ming had asked her to stay, Miao Na immediately hugged him, prompting Lu Ming to instinctively pat her head.

Perhaps seeing Miao Na being patted on the head by Lu Ming, Wang Na, who was a little shy and timid, also hugged Lu Ming and asked him to pat her as well.

"Orphans?" Looking at his two little maids, Lu Ming was slightly lost in thought, but quickly recovered and turned to Sham, saying, "Um, could you help me heat some bathwater? I've been unconscious for several days, and I'm not feeling well, so..."

"Please don't say that. It's my honor to serve you." Sham bowed respectfully and then went to heat the bathwater. However, Lu Ming sensed a hint of unease in her words. Clearly, she didn't want Lu Ming to be so polite to her.

Watching Sham's retreating figure, Lu Ming felt a slight unease. However, he didn't dwell on it and, at the suggestion of Lily, Yusaha, and the little cook Wangna, decided to go get something to eat first.

However, because he had been in a coma for three days, his stomach couldn't handle anything too good, so his food consisted of a paste with a little bit of mashed potatoes.

Left with no other choice, Lu Ming, under the watchful eyes of Lily, Yusaha, and the two adorable little maids, swallowed the bowl of dung-like porridge with tears in his eyes.

Just as Lu Ming was feeling somewhat hopeless when he saw Wang Na bring out the second bowl of porridge, Sham's words, "The bathwater is ready," brought him a huge sigh of relief.

However, to avoid worrying Lily and Yusaha, Lu Ming promised to finish the bowl of porridge after his shower. Only then was he able to escape, hurriedly fleeing into the bathroom.

After taking off his clothes, Lu Ming happily sat down in a large wooden tub filled with just the right amount of hot water and soaked in the bath.

While he was showering, he suddenly heard the bathroom door being pushed open. Thinking it was Lily or Yusaha, Lu Ming turned around and was surprised to find that it was actually his housekeeper, Sham!

At this moment, she was wearing nothing but a close-fitting, semi-transparent dress, not even her underwear.

"You...you...you..." Lu Ming was so shocked he couldn't speak. He couldn't believe his so-called butler could be so audacious. Unfortunately for him, that's just how audacious he was.

She walked quickly to the wooden tub, got inside, and sat casually on Lu Ming's lap, ignoring his subconscious glances at her body. She then proceeded to wash him. In his ear, she whispered, "Baron, remember this: this is the consequence of a nobleman speaking such things to his maid."

After saying that, she grabbed Lu Ming's hand, which he didn't know where to put, and placed it on her chest...

-----------------------------------

Just as Lu Ming was inexplicably taking a bath with his wife, Viscount Hatu was being forcibly hung on the gallows by the Grand Duke's men.

None of the people watching below were his family or subordinates. Clearly, he was a discarded pawn.

The new viscount of the Hatu family is a six-year-old boy.
