Divine Card Creator

At the legacy site.

The ancient forest was huge.

The path of legacy was certainly a long one. Occasionally, there were terrifying auras of beasts in the surroundings. Hence, the inheritors had to restrain themselves a little.

At a faraway place.

One could vaguely see a mountain top at the end of the forest.

If they did not guess it wrong, according to the directions in the Lunar Shadow Card, the legacy could very possibly be at the top of that mountain!

Rush over?

It would be meaningless.

They were very clear about one thing. Lunar Shadow would not select the person with the fastest speed!

In a Swordsman legacy, physique was just a part of the selection criteria. None of the legacies would select a ‘racer’ type for their inheritance!

Therefore…

They were certain that—

There had to be a huge fight at the top of the mountain!

Only the most powerful one would be able to inherit the legacy! Prior to that, they had to become more powerful!

…

“Sister, where are we heading?”

Lu Ming asked.

“You will decide.”

Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent.

She participated in the legacy this time for Lu Ming’s sake.

Precisely, as per her earlier words, the main purpose of joining this legacy was to let Lu Ming gain more experience and widen his horizons!

The so-called legacy and the increase in resources did not matter. Given Lu Ming’s current two-star ability, the increase would not make much of a difference.

She was keener to see how her younger brother would perform!

The legacy this time…

If Lu Ming were to take the lead, where would he take them?

“Okay.”

Lu Ming understood his sister’s intention.

In that case…

He would give it a try.

Lu Ming began to contemplate seriously.

According to the school textbooks, along the path of legacy, there would certainly be some assessments and trials to improve the inheritors’ abilities.

The inheritor had to improve themselves through these trials and assessments and then fight for the legacy.

These… were akin to rare and excellent opportunities!

And these were Lu Ming’s purpose for coming!

“Let’s go.”

Lu Ming led his elder sister along the path of legacy.

Very soon…

They discovered a place of trial — Mountain River Waterfall.

Seemingly, there was a ray of Sword Aura in that waterfall. With the splashing of the mysterious waterfall, that Sword Aura actually turned sharper and sharper!

This waterfall could sharpen the Sword Aura!

Of course.

The top of the Mountain River Waterfall was filled with restrictions.

As long as they could crack these restrictions, they would be able to step under the waterfall.

Lu Ming roughly understood now.

The Swordsman could then step under the waterfall and sharpen their Sword Aura? To a Swordsman without a strong foundation, such a method would definitely result in tremendous improvement!

It was just that…

It was not useful for him!

“Sister, do you need it?”

Lu Ming asked.

Lu Yan shook her head slightly.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Hence, this trial was of no use for the sister-and-brother pair!

Let’s go.

Lu Ming left in disappointment.

After a long time…

They discovered another place of trial on the path of legacy — Red Lotus Fire.

“Swordsmen…

Naturally have it easy!

With heaven and earth as a melting pot, the inheritor could forge his Sword Embryo. This was also a wonderful opportunity for a Swordsman to improve his capability and strengthen their Sword Embryo.”

—Lunar Shadow

“It’s good stuff,”

Lu Yan exclaimed her amazement.

“Sister, is this of any use to you?”

Lu Ming felt energized.

“There is not much use.”

Lu Yan shook her head in pity. Her Sword Embryo had already been tempered to the maximum.

“Oh.”

Lu Ming was disappointed.

Therefore…

This was another useless trial.

“Why don’t I throw the Original Card inside and see what happens?”

Lu Ming felt a little indignant.

Lu Yan was amused.

When did her younger brother become so money-minded?

“Alright.”

Lu Ming knew that he had been thinking too much.

The nurturing of the Sword Embryo was akin to the forging of a weapon. On the other hand, the nurturing of the Original Card was through stability and development for the sake of accommodating more lines. If he were to put the Original Card inside, most likely it would be ruined…

“It’s no problem. There is still a long way to go,”

Lu Yan assured him gently.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming left in disappointment.

Hence…

The two continued with the path of legacy.

After a long time…

They discovered another place of trial — Sword Shadows.

Before their eyes…

Strange puppets appeared one by one.

Each puppet held a wooden sword in their hands and was brandishing it. The simple-looking figure seemed to be vaguely exuding powerful sword energy!

This was the basics of Swordplay.

It was basic Swordplay that was pure to the extreme!

“For Swordsmen…

Foundation is especially important.

Defeat the puppets in front of you to pass through this place.”

—Lunar Shadow

“Not bad.”

Lu Yan’s expression turned more solemn.

The Lunar Shadow legacy was more powerful than she had imagined.

It was true!

These basics were no longer lesser than that of her master.

Over here…

Inheritors like themselves could even learn the basics for free. Even if they could not inherit the legacy, they could also brush up and strengthen their foundation greatly!

“Sister, is it useful?”

Lu Ming felt energized.

Perhaps…

He had finally found a place to ‘display’ his “Meltdown Card”.

He could crack the restrictions here and let his sister enter it to learn the foundation. He felt a little emotional at the thought of it…

“I am already past this stage.”

Lu Yan shook her head slightly.

She had long learned these.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Hell… What kind of legacy was this?!

“It’s alright. There should be more,”

Lu Yan assured him gently.

Hence…

The two of them continued on the journey.

However, after walking for three to four hours continuously and passing by another three to four places of trials on the path of the legacy, Lu Ming’s expression turned increasingly ugly.

Sword Aura, Sword Gall, Sword Embryo, Swordplay…

They had all kinds of trials!

Basically…

They had all the trials that a Swordsman needed here!

Furthermore…

These were necessary skills for a swordsman!

However…

They had no use for them at all!

Lu Ming was breaking down a little emotionally.

Seriously…

He found it very strange.

According to the textbooks, besides these trials, assessments and similar things, there should be many rare treasures!

For example—

Various kinds of precious and magical fruits and powerful and mystical techniques!

However…

There was nothing of the sort here.

There were only the lonely places of trial.

After a long time…

Lu Ming arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Yes.

They were the first to arrive at the foot of the mountain. This was because they had skipped all the trials. None of the twelve trials that they had encountered along the way were useful!

His sister did not need them and Lu Ming had no use for them either.

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Hence…

Was this the end of it?

They had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

According to the progress of the legacy, this was already half the journey. After they climbed up to the top of the mountain and began the fight, someone would inherit the legacy and the event would be over.

Lu Ming was certain that the final battle would be very spectacular and exciting.

However…

What did it have to do with him?!

Where was the promised increase in resources and improvement for all the participants?!

Was this a pack of lies?!

Did the assistants come here just to fool around?

“I’m sorry.”

Lu Yan felt a little embarrassed.

It was her slip up this time.

Initially, she had thought that the Legacy Card which requested for them to bring along assistants would naturally provide corresponding resources for the latter. However, never did she expect …

All the legacies were only related to the sword!

It was too pure!

At the beginning when they entered the legacy site, she even praised Lunar Shadow that his Swordplay was definitely pure! However, she did not expect Lunar Shadow’s legacy to be so pure.

Besides swords…

There was nothing else!

This was quite different from the expected requirements of the Lunar Shadow legacy.

Since this was the case.

What was the point of having an assistant?

Could it be just for the sake of cracking the restrictions of the trials to grant the Swordsman entry? If that was the case, wouldn’t it be better not to create any restrictions?

What was the intent of Lunar Shadow?

Nobody knew!

…

Lu Ming looked up. Before his eyes was a huge door to the mountain.

Yes.

Lunar Shadow built a door at the foot of the mountain.

In that case, every inheritor, regardless of his previous whereabouts, had to go through the door. After stepping through this door, they could then enter the top of the mountain. This was the last trial.

Well…

Lu Ming glanced at it.

There were no restrictions here but only a simple stele.

“To the Swordsman…

Those who lack willpower cannot enter.

—Lunar Shadow”

“The Swordsman legacy requires an extremely strong determination.”

Lu Yan nodded slightly. “Lunar Shadow did this most likely because he is afraid that those with weak willpower will not be able to endure the legacy. They may be accidentally hurt or killed.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Hehe…

Therefore…

It was highly possible that he could not even pass through this door?

This was really a ‘caring’ (conman) elder.

It was no wonder that this guy would be buried alive!

In current times, this kind of character definitely would not survive three days without being beaten to death!

It was true!

As a Card Creator, he sensed a strong malicious intent in this legacy.

Where were the promised resources for the assistants?!

Damn!

Clearly, they took these assistants as laborers?!

Weren’t assistants also human?

What did this mean?

Why did the Lunar Shadow legacy, that should be filled with stimulation, danger and thrill become a one-day legacy tour when it came to him?

Was this a joke?!

“Do you want to give it a try?”

Lu Yan glanced at the door.

Lu Ming looked sullen.

What was the point of trying?

He was infuriated!

He and his sister could only skive during this legacy!

The massive number of “Meltdown Cards” that he prepared could not be put to any use at all! For the sake of the Lunar Shadow legacy, he had made long preparations but everything was going to be over just like that!

He felt really indignant.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Yan said gently, “I will find you a Card Creator legacy next time.”

“Yes.”

Lu Ming nodded.

He knew that his sister wanted to console him.

However…

He was really upset.

The preparations that he had done and the efforts put in by his sister for this…

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming suddenly asked, “Sister, do we have to pass through this door if we want to ascend the mountain?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yan was very certain about it.

This looked like a door but it was actually a Teleportation Nexus. It would only let the inheritor pass after ascertaining that the latter had enough willpower. Otherwise, the inheritor would also die if he were to enter it!

“Is that so?”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes suddenly.

Hehe…

Elder Lunar Shadow, you’re the one who forced me to do this!
