Divine Card Creator

The Peak of Legacy.

The assessment at the first mountain was right in front of them.

It was snowing heavily.

The wind was piercingly cold.

They had to take the path of legacy in the snowstorm before they reached the mountain top and that was when they could see the assessment at the second mountain!

Wu Hongfei seemed to understand what was going on.

However…

He was curious about what the path would assess them on.

Wind and snow might serve as obstacles to ordinary people, but it was useless to cultivators. Therefore, the snowstorm path…

Click!

He took a step forward.

Bang!

He had a terrible thought in his mind and he spewed blood!

This was…

Sword intent!!!

Wu Hongfei was shocked.

In the Swordsman sect, a four-star could condense energy to form a sword, while a seven-star was capable of producing Sword Intent!

All of the Swordsmen here had not even reached six-star peak level. They were not qualified to touch Sword Intent! Right now, the walk in the snowstorm was laden with Sword Intent!

“A Swordsman…

Must have strong willpower!

Use the shortest time… to finish this path…”

Lunar Shadow’s voice sounded from afar.

“Old Wu.”

The five-star Card Creator had some concerns.

“It’s alright.”

Wu Hongfei smiled after getting accustomed to it.

“You should give it a try. This is a Sword Intent…

It does not attack people, but it is interlaced in the snowstorm. Although it is painful, it will test your determination and willpower, training your mental strength.”

Wu Hongfei explained.

“Why do I need to be mentally strong?”

The Card Creator was hesitant.

“You will find a good use for it eventually.”

Wu Hongfei glanced at him. “At the very least, you will be able to endure it when you are being bullied.”

The Card Creator thought about it and realized that it was quite true.

Since he was already here!

Since Lunar Shadow did not leave any resources for them, they could only work on the benefits meant for the Swordsman!

Click!

He stepped into the snowstorm.

Bang!

A terrifying thought hit him.

The Card Creator spewed blood.

“It’s alright.

Endure it and you will feel better.”

Wu Hongfei reassured him. “Initially, you will be in pain and spit blood… but you will soon get used to it.”

True enough.

After ten seconds…

The Card Creator had adapted to this level of Sword Intent. The snowstorm that was laden with Sword Intent no longer caused pain. It was numbing and achingly cool to a certain extent.

At this very moment…

Wu Hongfei had already taken three steps.

“I understand.

The Sword Intent will get stronger and stronger as we walk deeper in the snowstorm. It will be even tougher on the mental strength and the tempering effect will be stronger…”

“This is not just an assessment but a trial as well!”

Wu Hongfei’s eyes lit up.

He was certain.

After the legacy, he would be stronger than the other Swordsmen of the same level!

Sword intent.

It was the greatest blessing!

Click!

He marched in the snowstorm.

Right then.

The rest of them came out from the Peak of Legacy one after another. They took a glance and understood the situation right away. They stepped into the snowstorm, aiming to finish the path in the shortest time.

Gao Tianlang, Zhao Yunshan…

Everyone stepped into the snowstorm.

Therefore…

By the time Lu Ming arrived, he saw more than ten people stumbling in the snowstorm, throwing up blood as they moved forward.

Lu Ming froze a little.

It seemed that the assessments of the Swordsmen were a kind of self-torture!

He seriously suspected that the veteran Lunar Shadow was a masochist. Or perhaps, all the Swordsmen were masochists?

He snuck a peek at his sister.

Well…

It should not be.

“Interesting.”

Lu Yan took one glance and could tell the nature of the assessment right away. “This was the veteran Lunar Shadow’s great work.”

Sword intent was itself very precious!

Lunar Shadow actually integrated Sword Intent into the legacy and interlaced it into the snowstorm.

He was brilliant!

One must know that normal legacy would not be able to withstand the Sword Intent!

There was no one else but him.

The Sword Intent was very aggressive!

No matter how one integrated it into any kinds of legacies or illusions, it would likely result in a collapse, notwithstanding the large scale use of the Sword Intent in the Lunar Shadow legacy!

And this…

This was only the first out of the seven assessments!

Lu Yan understood it. It seemed that someone powerful constructed the legacy.

“Interesting?”

Lu Ming felt dazed at his sister’s words.

This…

He took another look. All of them were vomiting blood.

Wu Hongfei who was at the front of the group was halfway there. He looked as if he had kidney problems. He was a terrifying sight. It seemed that even the six flavor tonic tablets were not effective for him.

The others looked a fright as well.

Xiaoqing walked behind her elder brother and she had already vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

How was this interesting?

Was his sister a masochist as well?

Lu Ming suddenly felt worried.

“You should give it a try.”

Lu Yan suddenly spoke up.

“Huh?”

Lu Ming recovered from his senses.

“Sword intent tempering. This is a rare opportunity. The path in the snowstorm is full of Sword Intent and it will increase as you move further. If you are able to complete the entire path, it will be very useful in improving your mental strength,” Lu Yan explained.

“Oh.”

Lu Ming had some understanding now.

Sword intent…

Tempering…

So it turned out his sister was not a masochist. It was a rare opportunity that was given by Lunar Shadow!

“The further one goes, the more one will improve?”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

“Yes.”

Lu Yan nodded slightly.

The Sword Intent would increase as one went further. If one reached the end of the path, it would greatly improve one’s ability! But, from the looks of it, it could be possible that no one would reach the end!

At this moment…

Gao Xiaoqing had stopped advancing.

Wang Xuan moved forward with the help of the Elementalist. But it seemed that he was slowing down as well.

The walk in the snowstorm…

It was harder than imagined!

“Sister, are you going as well?”

Lu Ming whispered.

Even the six-star Elementalist could not help but join the walk.

“It was useless.”

Lu Yan shook her head in regrets. “I used to walk these paths in the past. It serves no purpose to me.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Oh.

Come to think of it, her sister’s master was well-versed in Sword Intent.

“If I help you, it might not be effective.”

Lu Yan spoke softly. “You should try it out. Don’t worry. I will be by your side. If there’s any danger, I will help you.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

A walk in the snowstorm…

Alright.

He should go for it!

Click!

Lu Ming stepped into the snowstorm.

A terrifying thought came down over him.

This was…

Lu Ming snorted.

Fortunately…

He did not vomit blood.

He could feel the extraordinary thoughts. They were unlike traditional thoughts. They were sharp and invincible!

Was this a Sword Intent?

It was very powerful!

However…

He did not know that his entrance had attracted the attention of the others.

“He did not vomit blood?”

Xiaoqing was surprised.

She had always wanted to have a real competition with Lu Ming. It was odd that she could not find a chance in this legacy until now!

However…

She did not expect that Lu Ming was able to withstand the first step!

Yes.

He did not vomit blood at all!

She vomited several mouthfuls of blood when she took her first step!

She almost could not withstand it!

Was it due to gender differences?

Snort!

I will not lose!

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and took another step forward!

…

Far in front.

Wu Hongfei who was the first person to set off was already halfway there. He turned back upon seeing Lu Yan and Lu Ming and he felt as if he was dealt with a strong blow.

Damn!

Lu Ming was able to withstand the Sword Intent?!

When was one under the most pressure?!

When entering the snowstorm!

One felt the most pressure when one was hit unknowingly by the powerful Sword Intent.

Although the Sword Intent would increase as they moved forward, it would increase progressively. One would only falter and take a step back when one could not withstand it. It would not cause a large impact. This was why people usually vomited blood upon entering.

He was no exception!

But now…

Lu Ming was able to withstand the Sword Intent?!

Wu Hongfei felt disappointed. Perhaps he was indeed useless!

He was not comparable to a two-star Card Creator?!

Damn!

It was upsetting!

…

Wang Xuan took a look at Lu Ming, he was the least surprised.

Perhaps…

He was the only one who knew that although the two-star Card Creator seem ordinary, he was in fact very powerful when his limits were tested! He was much more powerful than he was!

So what if he was at a three-star peak level?!

So what if he had a strong background?

He had never been arrogant.

He knew very well.

All of this was not enough!

His goal was to become a cultivator like Lu Ming who believed in and was capable of an eye for an eye!

He demolished the entire old town because of a lady!

Chic!

Domineering!

…

At this very moment…

Lu Ming had merely taken the first step.

“Are you okay?”

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised.

Her brother was able to withstand the impact of the Sword Intent!

She was able to survive it back then as she was a Swordsman. What about her brother?

His was only a weak basic profession!

“It’s still not too bad.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

The impact of this level…

This was strange.

He took another step.

Well…

He was alright!

Although the pressure was huge, he was able to stand it.

Eh?

What was happening?

Lu Ming was surprised that his willpower was that strong.

Or perhaps, the Sword Intent was too weak?

It should not be.

He looked at the inheritors in the far distance who vomited blood while moving forward. The Swordsmen could hardly take it. As a Card Creator, he should be collapsing!

However…

Come to think of it…

The feeling of the Sword Intent tempering seemed familiar…

He decided to take a few more steps.

Lu Ming took three steps at one go.

Bang!

A powerful thought hit him.

He could feel the pressure again and the feeling was very familiar…

Oh.

He suddenly remembered it.

Lu Ming’s eyes widened suddenly.

Wait a minute…

It felt the same when the black cat lashed at him.

Lu Ming turned sullen.

Perhaps, being lashed at by Brother Cat was considered as thought tempering as well?

Therefore…

When he made his sudden appearance in his consciousness and was lashed by the black cat, it was in fact tempering his thoughts?

Should he give it a try?

Lu Ming went into his Sea of Consciousness.

Brother Cat!

He had yet to say anything.

Bam!

A black shadow lashed at him and Lu Ming was plastered flat against the wall.

Look!

This was telepathy!

Lu Ming felt that he and Brother Cat knew what was on each other’s mind.

Oh.

He could feel it!

This feeling…

Lu Ming was excited. It felt exactly like the Sword Intent tempering that he faced right now!

Sword intent tempering constantly launched small attacks at one’s willpower so that it would repair after the damage and become stronger! It had the same principle as the black cat which dissipated his consciousness. That was why he had become stronger over time!

In that case, it seemed reasonable.

However…

Although the theory was correct, why did it sound masochistic?
