Divine Card Creator

Panda Novel

In Qing Ming City.

Four o’clock in the morning.

The team that was responsible for investigation and research had just come back. They saw an endless number of beasts and they could feel the aura of a powerful five-star beast!

“We have some trouble.”

Everyone looked grim.

They knew it would be a tough battle.

Five-star…

They furrowed their brows tightly.

Although there were no five-star cultivators in Qing Ming City, they were not worried about the power of the five-star beast. After all, they had a lot of four-star cultivators with them now. They were fearless!

What they were really worried about was that the five-star beast had a certain ability of logical thinking!

Since this was the case…

Why did it attack the city?

What was the purpose?!

Even if it was not as intelligent, it should be able to determine the strength of the enemy and itself. It should be able to determine whether they were capable of launching a siege!

Therefore, were they other hidden beasts?

Everyone was very worried.

…

After a long time…

The sky was getting brighter!

The sun had just risen from the horizon, a touch of soft light spread to the land, shadows of countless beasts loomed at the endless wilderness.

The beasts’ tide was here after all.

Two-star…

Three-star…

And some four-star.

And at the end of the contingent of beasts, they could vaguely see a large figure, and felt its shocking aura!

Five-star…

It was coming!

Everyone’s heart sank.

“Prepare to fight!”

“Get the energy cannons ready!”

Click!

Click!

Several energy cannons were directed toward the beasts tide.

They were getting ready.

Everyone looked grim.

This was a life and death battle!

They had to make use of all possible energy.

“It seems that… We have to go all out.”

“Yes, I am no longer young. I didn’t expect that there will be a time where I will still be able to play a part…”

Everyone focused their attention in front.

Everyone, including the veterans in their fifties and the younger cultivators, looked solemn.

Bang!

Bang!

The beasts’ tide was getting closer.

However…

Surprisingly, when the beasts rushed to the front of the city, they seemed to sense a huge threat and they diverged to the right and left sides.

They… Were fleeing!

All the cultivators in the city were dumbstruck.

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Weren’t they here to attack the city?

“Could it be that this is the tactic of the beasts?”

The people from the strategy team remained alert.

Could it be that even beasts know to deploy tactics?

However, when they went over cautiously to investigate, they discovered that after the beasts diverged into several other routes, they changed direction and ran far into the distance…

They had… really left.

Gone??

What the hell was this?

Everyone looked confused.

At this very moment…

The huge beasts tide at the front of the city diverged into smaller groups.

From the looks of it, this did not seem like an attack on the city?!

When the beasts neared, they could tell from the close range that they were filled with panic. It seemed as if they were trying to avoid some terrible existence and were running for their lives…

So what were they afraid of?

Wow—

The beasts tide had reached an end.

Right then, they could clearly see that there was a five-star beast at the end of the group!

However…

It was incredible that a small figure was dragging the five-star beast that they were fearful of, slowly advancing toward them…

Cheez—

Cheez—

There were long marks left on the ground.

Everyone was astonished.

A silhouette?

Dragging the beast?!

That was actually a man!

“Who is that person?”

Everyone was in awe.

The cultivator must be very powerful to be able to take down the five-star beast!

At this very moment…

The figure that was dragging the five-star beast seemed to have realized that everyone was looking at him. He raised his head slightly, smiling to everyone, revealing a familiar face.

“He is so handsome…”

One of the female cultivators sighed.

Goodness, the powerful cultivator that defeated the five-star beast was very young and handsome!

However…

She might not know the person, but others knew him.

After all, there were many cultivators from Qing Ming City here. Moreover, due to the competition lately, as well as Lu Ming’s handsome face that was easily recognizable, many people could tell right away that it was Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming??!”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

How could that be possible?!

The person that was dragging the five-star beast turned out to be Lu Ming?!

The city guards, the police, and even the presidents of various associations as well as the judges of the competition were dumbstruck as they stared at the figure not far away.

This…

How could this be possible?!

“Everyone…”

Lu Ming dragged the terrifying beast and stopped in front of them, saying in an indifferent tone, “I have resolved the beasts tide.”

Upon finishing his words…

He smiled faintly.

The sun’s soft light fell to his side and it was so dazzling.

Those cultivators who looked at Lu Ming seemed to be in a trance. They had spent a long time preparing for the crisis of the beasts tide as well as the impending battle. However, it had actually ended?

Was this real?

At this very moment…

A distance away.

The beasts that had diverged into several groups had already left.

The scene where numerous beasts came rushing at them seemed to be a dream.

Oh.

Therefore…

Could it be that the beasts were avoiding the aura of the five-star beast?

Or perhaps…

Were they avoiding Lu Ming?

At this moment…

There was only Lu Ming and the five-star beast left near the city. The contingent of beasts was already very far away!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

The suburbs…

What the hell happened?

…

“Observe the movements of the beasts. Observe the marks they left.”

“All of them have returned to their original communities.”

“They have returned to their familiar environment.”

“Everything is normal.”

Various monitoring reports were being sent.

Whether they believed it or not, they had to admit that the terrifying beasts tide had really ended! That was because Lu Ming had defeated the culprit behind the beasts tide!

It was incredible!

The young man in the sun…

The scene where he dragged the five-star beast and came slowly towards them…

It was too shocking.

…

“Did Lu Ming really do it?”

“No idea. But you should know who his elder sister is.”

“What you’re saying is that…”

Someone suddenly thought of something.

“That’s right.”

“I should have thought of this. Given his background, how could he not have a trump card?”

The man sighed.

Yes.

Trump card.

Lu Yan or someone else must have given a very powerful trump card to Lu Ming. That was why he was able to defeat the enemy. Perhaps it was another very powerful strike! But even so, it was very incredible to be able to do that.

Didn’t the four-star cultivators have any trump cards that could defeat five-stars?

Of course.

But no one dared to do it.

The beasts’ tide was full of uncertainties. No one knew what would happen.

One might die anytime!

However, when Qing Ming City was in a crisis, it was the young man who went into the depths of the suburbs and destroyed the culprit, stopping an impending battle!

Look, this was being righteous!

This was being responsible!

…

Of course.

Although this was the truth, they dared not announce it to the public.

Qing Ming City had a headache.

Lu Ming was cool and suave and had left after showing his capabilities. However, what happened next would be a big problem.

The powerful cultivators who came to help were three-star or four-star. Qing Ming City signed a confidentiality agreement with them.

At the very least, they must hide the truth from the general public.

“We must not say that it was Lu Ming who resolved this.”

Qing Ming City’s Minister of Education sounded very serious.

“Is this so that we can protect Lu Ming?”

Some people were curious.

A lot of geniuses were short-lived due to the rumors and public opinions…

Therefore, when someone suggested to hide the fact that it was Lu Ming who defeated the five-star beast, their first reaction was that it was for Lu Ming’s better good.

“Of course not.”

Zhou Wei gave a deep sigh. “This is to protect ordinary cultivators.”

“Huh?”

Everyone had a look of confusion on their faces.

Why was it to protect the ordinary cultivators?

“Yes.”

Zhou Wei nodded.

Many people paid close attention to the ‘beasts tide’ in Qing Ming City. Everyone was following up on what happened afterwards. They could not announce that Lu Ming resolved the problem!

No one would believe this!

Besides, it would be a big trouble if they believed this!

The discussion that ‘The Card Creator was the strongest vocation’ caused a sensation and people would bring it up from time to time. If there was news that a two-star Combat Card Creator defeated a five-star beast…

Hahahaha.

Cultivators would have a mental breakdown!

“I agree.”

The judges of the School Championship Competition agreed. The truth must not be revealed!

“In that case, how should we put it across?”

Everyone was in a fix.

They could not reveal that it was Lu Ming, but they still had to submit a report.

“Uh…”

“Why not let me do it?”

Zhang Yang volunteered to do it.

“Get lost!”

Zhou Wei almost slapped him. He knew very well the quality and impact of the report that this guy was capable of. If he handed this to him, everything would be over!

“Don’t worry.”

Zhang Yang hurried to say. “I know what I am doing!

Lu Ming’s identity will never be revealed!

You can rest assured!”

Zhang Yang thought for a while. “I have a brilliant solution.”

Everyone was skeptical.

The brilliant solution that this guy mentioned…

“I am serious. We can…”

After discussing with the associations, Zhang Yang finally settled on a way to do it.

“Wait a minute.

People from the city, please don’t be in a hurry to leave. Let me take some shots…”

…

On the day itself.

The sudden resolution of the beasts’ tide caused a sensation.

Just when people had yet to figure out what had happened, a short video was made available. It was a thirty-second video and it told the truth of what happened regarding the beasts tide.

In the video…

The beasts tide came rushing at them…

Music played in the background, everyone was determined to engage in a life and death battle. The battle was impending, and the figure of a five-star beast could be seen in the far distance. It was very mighty and fearsome. The atmosphere turned desolate.

Suddenly…

A sword gleam ruptured the ground.

An incandescent smoke covered the entire surroundings.

After a long time…

When the white glow had dissipated…

The huge figure of the beast that they saw just now had fallen to the ground.

A figure stood on its body, with a sharp sword in its hand. One could only see a silhouette under the sunlight. It was very mysterious!

At this very moment…

The scene froze.

The subtitles appeared and there was only a short sentence: Eight o’clock in the morning, the Swordsman ‘Flash’ passed by and destroyed a five-star beast with one strike. The beasts fled in panic and the beasts’ tide came to an end.

…

“He is very powerful!”

“One strike and it took down a five-star beast as well as sent tremors through the contingent of beasts… This person must be a six-star peak!”

“Are you kidding me? Do you know how many beasts there are? A six-star might be able to deal with a five-star beast, but he would not be able to charge at the beast contingent given his abilities. I surmised that the person must be a seven-star and above!”

“It is no wonder the person is so powerful.”

“Flash… It is a very cool name.”

“It is a pity that we could not see the face. It is only a silhouette.”

“It is very good that there is a silhouette. At the very least we can tell that the veteran has a good body proportion. This veteran is so much better than the plump and stay-home veterans. This is indeed the coolest vocation!”

There were many discussions on the Internet.

The focus of the beasts tide had been cleverly directed to the mysterious Swordsman.

Of course.

There were some people who made feeble arguments that they were at the scene and they saw that it was Lu Ming who defeated the beast. However, they were drowned out by the netizens’ comments…

“Hehe, how dare a Card Creator join in the fun?”

“How dare they hire the Internet Water Army? This is too much!”

“The Flash veteran is very powerful. Other than the looks, how can Lu Ming be compared to him?”

“Exactly!”

“Which Swordsman sect do you think Flash veteran belongs to?”

“I have no idea, but I don’t think it is the Heavy Sword.”

“Haha…”

“Perhaps there is another legacy for the Swordsman.”

“That is possible.”

Everyone was excited.

The mysterious ‘Flash’ Swordsman became a hotly discussed keyword.

To Qing Ming City, this was a good thing as well. They were finally no longer on the hotly discussed list.

They were clear of one thing.

People who were determined to find out the truth would eventually know that it was Lu Ming who killed the five-star beast. But it was enough to be able to hide it from the general public… This was all that they could do.

If one really investigated…

Well…

It would not matter.

In any case, they withheld the information so as to protect the public. The person who had the capability to do the investigation must have some discretion.

This was what they thought.

However…

What they did not know was that there was a teenager in Zi Yang College who was seriously reading the news on the Internet. The person turned silent after getting the family to investigate the truth behind the beasts’ tide.

Lu Ming…

Combat Card Creator…

A two-star killed a five-star beast instantly…

…

He looked at the forum of The First Academy. He stared at the strongest vocation as well as the transfer conditions.

After a long time…

He looked determined.

Ring—

He touched the number on his wristband.

“Xiaoyan.”

A soft female voice could be heard on the other end. “What is the matter?”

“Elder sister.”

“I want to re-cultivate!”

“I want to become a Combat Card Creator!”

Xiaoyan was serious.

There was a never-seen-before serious look on his fair face.

“Huh?”

His elder sister was bewildered.

Re-cultivate?

Eh?

What was wrong with her younger brother?

Wait a minute.

Combat Card Creator… What was that?

Perhaps she was away for her retreat for too long and she was out of touch with the times?
