Divine Card Creator

Qing Ming City.

The high-profile assassination came to a end.

It was easy come easy go. Many powerful cultivators had yet to arrive and it had already ended.

Many people were rendered speechless.

However, Zhang Wei who was in the police department used a device to note down the location of every aura. There were many unfamiliar auras that he needed to verify.

“This one… and this one.

We have to verify their identities.

All these as well.

There is no need to do anything. Many of them merely passed by. All we need to do is to take a record of their auras to verify that they are harmless…”

Zhang Wei gave his orders, feeling as if he was very smart.

As the leader of the police in Qing Ming City, in the past he would only deal with one-star and two-star cultivators. He did not even have the chance to catch a three-star cultivator. But right now, he could keep a watch on a four-star cultivator!

He felt complacent about it!

However…

He was not nervous at all.

What happened today was nothing compared to the turmoil this year.

It was just that…

Peace had finally returned to Qing Ming City, why was it disturbed again?

Zhang Wei was deep in thought.

He had the feeling that something was amiss.

…

Downtown area.

At the shop.

Lu Ming was back.

His head was wrapped in gauze and he carried a variety of cards from Zhang Yang and the rest.

This was a donation drive organized by Zhang Yang. The Card Creators wanted to do something for Lu Ming who was injured and some of the three-star Card Creators wanted to show their gratitude as he shared his theory about stability and foundation with them…

Wasn’t that Li Haoran’s effort?

Lu Yan was confused.

It was true.

But he had no way of explaining it. In the end, he came back with all the cards.

“Master, you are injured.”

Xiaobai was worried.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Ming removed the gauze. “That is merely for decoration.”

This was given to him by the person who helped to heal him. However, given Lu Ming’s physical strength now, his injuries would heal by themselves. He had no use for it.

“Huh?”

Xiaobai was confused.

Was there anyone who used gauze as an accessory?

Forget it.

Xiaobai shook her head. It was fine as long as her master was happy. Her gaze landed on the stack of cards that Lu Ming carried in his arms.

“Master, did you go to stock up on cards?”

Xiaobai was curious.

It had been a long time since their shop had stocked up on cards.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming waved his hands. “Pick whatever cards that you are interested in and sell the remaining according to the market price.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai was very happy.

She took the cards and left with a jump in her footsteps.

This girl…

Lu Ming smiled as he watched her leave before he got lost in thoughts.

Well…

Why did he bring a stack of cards back with him?

Lu Ming thought for a long while but still could not understand why something good would turn out to be like this… He remembered that he went to the Card Creators Association for testing.

But, look at the outcome.

He did not manage to test the stability and was almost scared stiff by the group of four-star cultivators.

Perhaps the Original Card had mutated, therefore even the professional machine at the Card Creators Association could not evaluate the stability of the card, and the abnormalities of the data resulted in…

Should he test it at the Swordsman Association?

Forget it.

Lu Ming thought about it and gave up.

He had just come out from the Lunar Shadow legacy. Although no one suspected him, it was better to keep a low profile.

He should work on his cultivation.

As for the stability, it was fine as long as it could meet the requirement for his card creating at this current stage.

He had clear goals in mind.

First, to increase his energy level to ten thousand points.

Second, to learn and understand the basics and knowledge points in the Lunar Shadow legacy.

Third, to study new card combinations.

…

However…

Lu Ming had yet to begin when his phone rang.

“Brother Lu!

Brother Lu, you are indeed back!”

Zhang Xiaopang was ecstatic.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears. It had only been a few days. He was being too dramatic.

“How do you know that I am back?”

Lu Ming was curious.

“I heard that something serious happened at the Card Creators Association and I surmised that you might be back.”

Zhang Xiaopang was excited.

Lu Ming turned sullen.

Damn!

How did he manage to connect the two events?

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

“Exams.”

Zhang Xiaopang sounded thrilled. “The mid-term test will be held tomorrow. Aren’t you back at this time to take the mid-term exams?”

“Mid-term exams?”

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

Crap!

They still had to take mid-term exams?

He looked through Little Lu Ming’s memory. Indeed, there were exams… but he subconsciously ignored it in the past. After all, no one was willing to look at that!

Zhang Xiaopang was confused. Did it mean that Lu Ming was clueless?

Goodness!

This would have an impact on one’s graduation!

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming came to his senses, casting a glance at Xiaobai. “I have applied for leave with the principal. Oh, you are right.”

Zhang Xiaopang came to his senses as well.

He was someone who abducted the principal’s daughter…

“Are you really not taking your exams?” Zhang Xiaopang whispered.

“No.”

Lu Ming waved his hands. It was meaningless for him to sit for the exams. Even if Jiang Feng was around, he would not want him to take part in meaningless exams.

“Alright.”

Zhang Xiaopang had no other choice. “It seems like I have to find another person to copy the basic lessons from…”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

He knew that this guy must be after something.

Bam!

He ended the phone call.

Lu Ming paused briefly before he made a phone call to Teacher An. Although he no longer needed to go to school, he was still a student of the college.

“Teacher An.”

Lu Ming made the phone call. “I would like to apply for leave for the mid-term exams.”

“Sure.”

An Mufeng knew about Lu Ming’s situation, therefore he did not say much. He paused briefly before saying, “If you see the principal, can you get him to make a trip to the school?”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming paused briefly.

“The principal has not been coming to school for days…

Many things are put on hold.

The school is facing a deficit. The financial department has not approved many things like…

Our wages…

We don’t have any wages for two months. The mortgage might be expired…”

Teacher An was aggrieved.

Lu Ming stared at the sky.

Was the school in such a bad state?

“Don’t worry.

I will tell him.”

Lu Ming sighed.

As he had always used the excuse that ‘he had applied for leave with the principal’ so as not to participate in many activities, Teacher An had the impression that he had a close relationship with the principal.

How could that be possible?

He only had a close relationship with Xiaobai.

Well…

This was just as well.

If Old Man Jiang passed away one day…

Ah the thought of this, Lu Ming had a scary… no, a fatherly smile on his face.

“Master?”

Xiaobai spoke up all of a sudden.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming came to his senses.

“Eh, can you not to smile that way… It’s odd.”

Xiaobai said carefully, “You seem like a bad guy. My father has that smile. It is very scary.”

Lu Ming was shocked. “Did your father smile in this way?”

“Yes.”

Xiaobai nodded. “When he was at home or at the living room, he would smirk at the screen. I wonder what he is thinking about…

It is pretty scary.”

Xiaobai sounded very serious.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Oh.

It seemed that he would only smirk while looking at a screen…

Cough, cough.

“I won’t smile in that way anymore. You should work on your cultivation,” Lu Ming instructed.

Lu Ming told Xiaobai to work hard while he was lost in his thoughts. He never imagined that the school would reach this state!

Oh.

Right.

Back then when they were at the mine, Teacher An had said that…

Regarding the root of the problem…

He would really like to find out what was going on.

A few years ago Jiang Feng had done a good job managing the school, but recently he was suddenly hunted down by his enemies and they seemed pretty formidable. He even had to entrust Xiaobai to him…

He had no time for school.

Afterward…

The rest was history.

Forget it.

When Jiang Feng was back, he would bring it up with him… As for whether he was willing to step down from the principal’s position, it was not his business.

Lu Ming could not be bothered with it.

At this moment…

He had many other things to settle.

For example—

Cards research!

At this moment…

He was successful with the research on the Burial Mound Card. The only card that he had not been successful with was the Swordsman Card that he received from Wang Xuan!

That was the Swordsman Card that he gave Xiaobai!

This card…

Lu Ming looked at the back of the card and he seemed to understand it!

Sword Aura…

How it worked…

Lu Ming could actually understand most of it.

After receiving the Lunar Shadow legacy and understanding everything about the Swordsman, as well as sealing the swordplay Moonblade into a card, he was able to understand the iconic Sword Aura lines.

Previously, he was unable to understand the card, but right now, he could.

——

Card Name: Sword Plunge

Card Type: Attack Card

Card Rating: four-star

Card Effect: To seal the Swordsman skill “Sword Plunge”.

——

These were the properties of the card.

However…

It might not be easy to create this card.

Other than the Sword Aura and the lines where the energy flowed, there were other lines that were incomprehensible to him. Those should be the core lines of the card!

But it did not matter!

With the large amount of knowledge in the Lunar Shadow legacy, as well as his experience as the Card Creator, he was able to deduce the lines. This was not difficult for Lu Ming!

It was just that…

The Sword Plunge…

Lu Ming felt that something was amiss.

In the past he was clueless. Now that he had the legacy, he could tell at one glance that there were many problems. There might be something wrong with the direction of the Sword Plunge.

There were other issues as well…

Was this really a Swordsman ability?

Lu Ming was doubtful.

Should he ask Wang Xuan?

Forget it.

Lu Ming had no wish to keep in contact with him. Besides, this kind of research infringed on the copyright. If he asked around, he might be beaten to death.

“Since the testing machine is able to test it, it should have a rating result.”

Lu Ming thought about it.

Hence…

He contacted Zhang Yang directly. He sent the information regarding the Sword Plunge to him in no time.

——

Card Name: Sword Plunge

Copyright: Wang Tianjun.

Copyright Price: Sale is prohibited.

——

“This is a private card. It did not go through all the processes except for certification,” Zhang Yang went on to remind him, “Don’t go around sharing it with others.”

“Understood.”

Lu Ming realized something.

Wang Tianjun was Wang Xuan’s father.

It seemed that this was a trump card that he especially made for Wang Xuan.

In the information regarding the Sword Plunge, other than data, there was also a video talking about the skill.

Shush.

Lu Ming clicked on the video.

Buzz—

Lights and shadows flashed.

One figure appeared and waved in the air, with that a powerful Sword Aura plunged at an incredible speed, falling on…

The person itself!

Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. What the hell was this?

Bang!

The Sword Aura dropped.

The Sword Aura entered the figure and the figure became stronger, its energy increased a few levels. The figure was able to destroy everything in his path and carved out a road of survival in hopeless situations!

However…

Perhaps the Sword Aura was too powerful, the person kept spurting blood.

…

Looking at the sight in front of him…

The figure spurted blood while his combat effectiveness rocketed…

Lu Ming turned silent.

He had a question in mind—Was Wang Xuan the biological son of Wang Tianjun?

Could he be an illegitimate son?

Perhaps…

He was the son from the neighbors Old Zhang or Old Xu?

This was crazy! Who would prepare such a trump card for one’s son? How could he be certain that the person would not die even before killing the enemy? The person had lost too much blood!

Damn!

Thankfully he had not used it at all!

Sword Plunge!

Hehe, the name was nice.

He always thought that Sword Plunge was to land a Sword Aura on the enemy. But from the looks of it, luckily he did not use it in the cemetery, otherwise, the situation would be embarrassing.

He could imagine the scene—

One was keeping an eye on the enemies secretly.

While the other party was defenseless, one hurled a four-star Sword Plunge into the air.

Bang!

The Sword Aura landed on himself.

He kept spurting blood…

Everyone looked at the person who appeared suddenly and was spurting blood…

It was so embarrassing…

In the end, he was beaten to death.

Finished!

Hahahaha.

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Damn it!

This was the Swordsman Card that he prepared for Xiaobai!

If he did not do research on it and handed it to Xiaobai for her usage, what would have happened? He could imagine the scene where Xiaobai kept spurting blood while fighting…

He felt like killing the father and son!
