Divine Card Creator

Panda Novel

“Surmounting ability?!”

Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.

This was his first try at sealing a surmounting ability!

“Of course, if not how do I torture them?”

Lu Yan was very calm. “This is the low-level ability that I specially modified. The power has been greatly reduced, but it will be within your reasonable means.”

Modified…

Lu Ming sensed the Original Card and was shocked.

Sealing energy consumption: two thousand four hundred points!

Card energy requirement: eight hundred points!

He had almost exhausted all his energy when he sealed the card just now! But the energy requirement of this card was merely eight hundred points!

So as to speak…

Eight hundred points of energy would create an effect pf two thousand and four hundred points. It was a triple jump. It was amazing!

It was indeed a surmounting card!

It was indeed a Swordsman Card!

It was very powerful!

Teacher Tan was very right in what he said during the class. The multiplying power was the crux.

However…

This one-star card was not very useful to him.

It was too weak!

It was not that Lu Yan’s Sword Aura was weak, it was that his energy requirement was too low and he could only seal it in this manner. He supposed it was not easy for Lu Yan to reduce it to this level.

Perhaps he should try integration?

Lu Ming was energized. This was a surmounting card!

Hence…

He tried to create seven Sword Aura Cards and he integrated them together to become a two-star Sword Aura Card. It still had the blue lights!

Energy consumption: three thousand six hundred points.

“It seems the integration of a surmounting card definitely results in a surmounting card.”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Buzz—

A brand new card appeared.

Although it was a surmounting card, it was only at the two-star level.

Given Lu Ming’s current stage where he had mastered the basics of two-star, other than the complexity and inherent technical lines, it did not pose too much of a problem.

However…

The energy requirement…

Lu Ming paused briefly, and laminated a two-star Energy Card to it.

It was perfect!

Very soon…

A brand new two-star Swordsman Card appeared in Lu Ming’s hands.

Blue.

Surmounting Card.

The lamination reduced the energy consumption, bringing it to two thousand and six hundred points!

He could use it now!

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

In that case, he finally had a real Attack Card! This card fulfilled the conditions that Teacher Tan said—high multiplying power and powerful effect!

With this card, he could go against a three-star!

Right now…

He had finally passed the “bogus three-star stage” and had real three-star fighting abilities!

Well…

Lu Ming felt very satisfied.

He suddenly felt that perhaps he had underestimated himself.

Look.

The talents in The First Academy were so-so!

Perhaps…

He was a talent as well!

That was what Lu Ming had in mind.

Buzz—

His wristband vibrated.

Xiaobai was on the phone.

“Xiaobai, do you miss your master?”

Lu Ming was in high spirits.

“Yes.”

Xiaobai was in a good mood and she told Lu Ming a good piece of news. “Master, Master, I am two-star now.”

“Ha?”

Lu Ming who was still very proud of himself was shocked.

Already a two-star?

Before he left he had just imparted a new card to her! This kid was increasing her energy level at an alarming speed! Could it be that she was the real talent?

“Master, master, is The First Academy fun?”

Xiaobai was elated.

“Of course not.”

Lu Ming chatted with her for a while. “Do a good job in creating the cards. I will check them when I am back.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai ended the call obediently.

Well…

Lu Ming was lost in thoughts, the thing about talent…

“Sister, when did you start to learn this ability?”

Lu Ming suddenly asked.

“Are you referring to the Sword Aura?”

Lu Yan thought for a while. “I have learned it for several years. I can’t remember.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

For several years?

How old were you then?

He could not afford to offend her.

Lu Ming had a reality check of his ability.

At night.

Lu Yan brought him to have dinner and to tour the college, checking out the strong foundation of The First Academy. They made one round before going back to the room.

“Have a good rest today.”

Lu Yan said, “I suppose it will be over in a few days.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming nodded.

He had no issues about this, however…

“Sister. Can’t I stay in another place?”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

How could his sister arrange for him to sleep in her room?!

Was this a joke?!

This was a female dormitory?!

“It’s alright. They won’t dare to say anything.”

Lu Yan was very calm.

This was not the main point?!

Lu Ming was shouting inside. The main point was it was inappropriate?! He never expected that the first night that he was at The First Academy would be in the female dormitory…

And on his sister’s bed.

“It is safer here.”

Lu Yan made the bed for him calmly. “I can protect you.”

Protect him?

Because the Lunar Shadow had changed hands?

Alright.

Lu Ming had no choice but to compromise.

Since it was for his personal safety, he would have to sleep with his sister reluctantly…

“I will be with Li Tiantian next door.”

Lu Yan continued after making the bed. “Call me if anything happens.”

“Aren’t you sleeping here?”

Lu Ming was shocked.

“Of course not.”

Lu Yan cast him an odd glance. “Is there a problem?”

“N-no problem.”

Lu Ming coughed.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Yan said in a gentle voice. “The short distance should be alright. If you encounter danger, I will come straight away.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Lu Ming paused briefly before saying, “I was worried about the distance just now.”

Well…

It had to be.

He told himself.

***

The next day.

Lu Ming went to Teacher Tan’s lesson again.

He learned a lot after yesterday’s lesson. He felt that before entering the Lunar Shadow legacy, it would be very useful to him if he could sit in for a few more lessons.

“Let’s start the lesson.”

Tan Yaoming had the habit of taking attendance.

He was surprised that the class that was usually fully packed had four absent students.

“Where are the four of them?”

Tan Yaoming asked.

“Wang Xiaoming went to work.”

The class representative stood up to say. “Li Er and a few others went with the students from the Faculty of Business to clinch a business deal. As for Zhang Zu, his tea shop opens for business today.”

Tan Yaoming turned sullen.

He swept his unhappy gaze over Lu Ming.

Lu Ming had an innocent look on his face.

This had nothing to do with him.

“Yesterday… We touched on the theories and simulation.”

Tan Yaoming started his lesson, and he noticed that many students were still playing with their cell phones, searching how to earn more money. Therefore, he changed the topic. “Today, let’s have a real combat!”

“Huh?”

The students were interested.

Real combat?!

“Lu Ming’s combat yesterday was not very worthwhile. It was a waste of resources. Low efficiency. It was meaningless.”

Tan Yaoming was very direct in his criticism. “What do you think?”

“Teacher, you are right.”

Lu Ming believed so.

He felt that his previous way of fighting was being too wasteful. The effect made by every point of energy was too weak. It was the cumulative effect of all the energy!

After all, they were just ordinary cards!

What should a normal Card Creator be pursuing?

To become stronger!

To cut down on waste!

This meant to have the legendary advanced card and surmounting card!

“Very good.”

Tan Yaoming was very satisfied. “Well, please come up.”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

It was him again?!

“You will have real combat with me.”

The teacher said, “I will only use two-star cards, you can use any cards that you want. I want everyone to know how much energy will be wasted when released!”

“Teacher, I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Lu Ming had a bitter smile. “Yesterday was just a simulation. But in reality…”

“There is nothing to be scared of!”

Tan Yaoming glared at him. “Rest assured that I will compensate you for the energy consumption.”

The students were excited.

This was real combat!

Lu Ming was speechless.

This was not about compensation but that he did not have those cards! He did not dare to use the Burial Mound Cards and Demolition Cards at school?!

Was he not courting death?!

However…

If he did not take the cards out, would that mean that the simulation yesterday was a farce?

It would be even more embarrassing!

This was a problem as well.

Lu Ming looked inside his card bag. There was only one card that could be used.

“Come over here!” Tan Yaoming yelled.

“Are we serious about fighting?”

Lu Ming looked guilty.

“Yes!” Tan Yaoming sneered.

“Can I use any method?”

Lu Ming asked weakly.

“Come on!”

Tan Yaoming was calm and collected.

This time, he had to correct the wrong mood in the class!

He was fully prepared. If Lu Ming used the low-level cards to fight against him, even if he won, it would cost him ten times to even hundred times his energy!

He must show all the students what real combat was!

“Teacher, please get your defense ready.”

Lu Ming had a bitter smile. “I have used up all my low-level cards. The Attack Card that I have is very powerful.”

“It’s alright, release it.”

Tan Yaoming was mentally prepared.

Since he was very rich, the cards that he had must be fairly powerful. Well… he got ready several two-star powerful Defense Cards in his hands, the green lights flashed.

“Come on!”

Tan Yaoming shouted.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming no longer hesitated.

Shush!

The card in his hands dissipated, and faint blue lights flashed.

Blue color?!

Tan Yaoming suddenly had a bad premonition.

Swoosh!

There was a terrifying flash of sword gleam.

Click!

Click!

The few defenses that Tan Yaoming had readied in front of him cracked instantly. The ordinary and advanced defenses were a joke in the face of this attack.

Swoosh!

The sword gleam hit the blackboard.

Although Tan Yaoming kept telling him to direct the attack at him, Lu Ming did not dare to do so. Therefore the sword gleam was slanted.

Shush!

There was total silence in the classroom.

“Well, Teacher, I said that…”

Lu Ming muttered weakly.

Tan Yaoming was silent.

After a long time…

He recovered his senses.

It was alright. Although he taught the lesson by negative example, it could prove that his views were correct! Anyway, Lu Ming used the method that he taught!

Look…

This was being more efficient!

That was right.

Tan Yaoming was just about to launch into an explanation about the proper ways.

However…

He could hear faint discussions among the students.

“That was a powerful card!”

“He was indeed a baller. I looked it up. That was a surmounting card and it was a Swordsman Card, it was very expensive!”

“So as to speak…”

“To become stronger…”

“We have to earn money!”

“That’s right. Earn lots of money!”

…

Tan Yaoming looked dumbstruck. What did it mean to earn more money?

This was not right!

Why did the lesson turn out to be like this?

Most of the students who were learning card creation techniques and experiences were novices who just entered the college or year two students. After what Lu Ming did…

He was afraid that they might focus on earning money!

Cough, cough.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Ming hurried to leave.

Although he believed that he was innocent, Teacher Tan did not seem to think that way. Forget it, Teacher Tan had another lesson in the afternoon. He would go for the lesson later.

Sigh.

Lu Ming had a headache as well.

He was serious about learning!

That afternoon.

Lu Ming wanted to sit in for the lesson. However, he received a message—Sorry, you had been added to this class’ ban list. Please contact the teacher or the school to cancel the ban.

Lu Ming was dazed.

What did this mean?!

The teachers were being too small-minded!

Forget it.

Lu Ming checked his access rights and went to the library to do some reading.

The library at The First Academy had a lot of books that could not be found in other places. No matter how much money one spent, one could not buy them from other places. They were very precious!

Lu Ming looked forward to reading the books in the library.

He flipped open the book.

Mysterious and special restrictions…

Exciting legacies…

Out of the ordinary body positions… oh, he had taken the wrong book.

…

Lu Ming pored over the books.

To Lu Ming who was lacking in fundamental knowledge, the library was a very good place. Besides, he would not provoke any teachers or students here.

Hence…

Lu Ming spent time reading the books by himself.

There was a dead silence in the library.

However…

He was unaware of something.

The school forum exploded with numerous threads because of him.
