Divine Card Creator

Early morning.

Lu Ming arrived at the Energy Warrior Association on time.

Over at the Qing Ming branch, four to five Energy Warriors escorted Lu Ming all the way to the headquarters, worrying Lu Ming.

“Brothers, is it alright inside?”

“Don’t worry.”

“Then why are you escorting me?”

“We are worried that you will be beaten… uh, no, this is the rule.”

“Hahahaha.”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Although the Stealing Card episode had passed, basically Lu Ming was considered a major asshole by the entire industry, and had affected the cultivation of many cultivators…

After all…

From then on, a new lesson on energy control was added to all Energy Warrior cultivation courses. But many people would not get to use this ability in their entire lives!

However…

Due to the existence of the Stealing Card, they had to learn it!

They had to be serious about mastering it!

What did that feel like?

It felt like when another fifty points were added to the exam on Maoism and counted into the total…

Furthermore, it was obligatory!

How could they not be angry about it?

Therefore…

It was better for several Energy Warriors to escort him.

“Don’t worry.”

The Energy Warriors of the branch reassured him. “Given your identity and that Lu Yan is your elder sister, no one would dare to do anything to you. At most, they will give you a round of beatings…

“You are not in any danger!”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

“Damn!

“Why isn’t getting beaten up considered a danger?”

“Uh.”

The Energy Warrior sighed. “In our industry, it is normal for us to beat each other up. It is fine as long as no lives are taken. We are used to fighting with each other!”

What were they?

They were Energy Warriors!

The entire association was full of violent-tempered guys who tempered iron!

They majored in tempering the body!

It was common to engage in a fight. They were tough and hence the higher-ups could not be bothered.

Lu Ming was speechless.

The problem was he was not like them!

“If you are really worried, why don’t you come back in a few days?”

The Energy Warrior suggested.

“Forget it.”

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

He wondered how long he had to wait.

He had been stuck at the three-star level for a long time. It was time to break through!

It would not do to cause extreme destruction every time he encountered a five-star… He wanted to have a good fight with them. Right now he could not defeat them!

The only way was to break through!

After he broke through, he would have the ability to face a five-star head-on!

At the thought of this…

Lu Ming strode into the Energy Warrior Association headquarters!

…

At this very moment…

The hall in the association headquarters.

Energy Warriors were registering for all kinds of tasks.

Suddenly…

There was a person at the door.

They glanced out of habit and were stunned.

“Eh?”

“From the looks of it…”

“Lu Ming?!”

“Is this real or not?”

“He’s alive.”

Everyone was surprised.

Due to the recent uproar caused by the Stealing Card, and since it concerned their personal safety, everyone researched the Stealing Card and found Lu Ming.

Given his appearance, they could remember him with one look.

But…

They did not expect that Lu Ming would be here.

“Crap! How dare he come here?”

“Outstanding!”

“Brother Old Wang, didn’t you say a few days ago that you want to give the pretty boy a round of beatings?”

“Let’s find out what he is up to.”

“Hehe, one look and I can tell he is a pretty boy.”

They were busy discussing him.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

He felt somewhat frightened by their discussion.

He was crying inside.

Damn, it would be better if he was not as dashing…

If his looks were ordinary and easily forgotten by others, he reckoned that no one would recognize him here. However, he was too handsome….

Sigh.

Lu Ming felt melancholic.

He might not have an easy time in the Illusory Realm!

…

At this very moment…

From a corner in the association, two people watched as more and more people surrounded Lu Ming.

“Didn’t the boss tell you to lead Lu Ming inside? Why don’t you go in? If this goes on, Lu Ming will get beat up…”

“So be it,” the man said coldly, “I am given eight beatings a day, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“He is not an Energy Warrior!”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine as long as he is not in danger.”

“Alright.”

He looked toward the crowd once again.

It was true.

For Energy Warrior, being beaten would not endanger their lives.

…

At this very moment…

Some people gradually closed in on Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming.”

A burly man who was two meters tall suddenly came towards him.

“Hello.”

Lu Ming looked up.

He sensed that the other party was a six-star.

This was the Energy Warrior Association headquarters. There were many five-star and six-star cultivators. Lu Ming might be arrogant, but he did not dare to mess around in such places. It was better to behave himself.

“I heard that your card can cast oriental black magic?”

The burly man said with an honest smile.

“It purely shifts the energy core.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“Well, I am cultivating my head…”

The burly man smiled. “Come, let me give it a try.”

“Brother, we better not mess with this.”

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

“Don’t worry.”

The burly man patted him on the shoulder, saying earnestly, “I won’t beat you. It’s just that I have been practicing this recently and I want to test the results.

“We feel that by the time your card is cast, it will be too unreliable if we call our energy core back!

“So…

“The new ability that we developed is called passive stability. It is to cultivate a certain technique so as to passively stabilize the position of the energy core!

The higher the stability, the more stable it is!”

The burly man said in a deep voice, “Therefore, I came looking for you to test it out.”

Stability?

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

It was a brilliant method!

He was very sure about the effect of the Stealing Card. If the core could be shifted, what would happen if the card were thrown at a blocked area during the shifting process…

The other party might die!

However…

If the stability was increased…

Perhaps the effect of the Stealing Card would be greatly reduced!

True enough…

The big-shots were not to be trifled with.

Although the Energy Warriors were being targeted, they were able to come up with a perfect solution.

“Come.”

The burly man sounded confident. “Direct it at my head.”

“Are you sure?”

Lu Ming was worried.

Theoretically…

His Stealing Card had no impact on a six-star. At most his core would move by a few centimeters. Now that the burly man had cultivated his stability, it had all the more reason to not move!

However…

One could never be too careful!

“Don’t worry.

“I will not bully you. Everyone present will be my witness,” the burly man said in a low voice.

“You can rest assured!

“I won’t beat you up!”

There was some uproar around them.

“Uh…”

Lu Ming was fearful. “Or maybe let’s forget it?”

“If you don’t cast it, I will beat you up now.”

The burly man gave a straightforward reply.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

Hence…

He carefully took out his Stealing Card and directed it toward the burly man.

Swoosh!

Lights and shadows flashed.

The burly man’s head vibrated slightly.

Afterward…

It did not fly away!

“Done!”

“Crap, that is amazing!”

“He can really resist it!?”

The Energy Warriors were elated.

The resistance put up by this guy was indeed effective against Lu Ming’s cards. Look, if it was in the past, his head would have flown away!

But now…

It had withstood the effect of the card!

“We can share it with more people!”

“In the future, let’s get them to cultivate this.”

Everyone was delighted.

However…

At this moment.

Surprisingly, the head shook for a moment and it suddenly started turning.

Click!

There was a crisp sound and the burly man’s head began to turn three hundred and sixty degrees at a strange speed!

One round…

Two rounds…

Three rounds…

…

It was to the extent that…

As it rotated very quickly, his body was being lifted slightly off the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening?!

Lu Ming was dazed as well.

Damn!

Could this be the legendary ability of propelling oneself to the sky?!

To hell with it!

What’s going on?

The effect of the Stealing Card was essentially the Cloud Shuttle Card that left with the target. Why the hell did it propel the target into the sky? He had never heard of such an effect…

Would the big-shot simply die like that?

At the thought of this…

Lu Ming felt a chill down his spine.

Seriously…

If he killed a six-star Energy Warrior in the headquarters of the Energy Warrior Association…

Well…

He wondered if he could make his way outside alive.

Right then…

Everyone stared at the burly man.

Very soon…

His head stopped turning.

One minute.

Two minutes.

There was no other response.

“Old Zhang?”

Some Energy Warriors shouted, feeling concerned.

This guy…

Would he simply die like that?!

There was still no response.

Hence…

An Energy Warrior was getting ready to touch him when the burly man yelled loudly. “Don’t touch me!”

“Are you alive?”

The person heaved a sigh of relief. “Damn, since you are alive, why didn’t you say anything?”

“Shut up! Let me calm down.”

The burly man remained in silence for a while before he said, “Right now… I feel dizzy… I can’t see things clearly.”

The rest of the people were speechless.

Alright.

That was the after-effect of being propelled.

After a long time…

The burly man recovered his senses.

“Are you alright?” Lu Ming asked cautiously.

“Don’t worry.”

The burly man smiled widely. “Your card is very powerful.”

Shush!

This garnered everyone’s attention.

Yes!

Was Lu Ming’s card really that powerful?!

If it was directed at ordinary people, they would die if their heads turned! To think that Lu Ming had a special card that could propel their heads into the sky?!

At the thought of this…

Everyone had an odd expression on their faces.

“My card does not have that effect!” Lu Ming said honestly.

“I know.”

The burly man waved his hands. “I didn’t blame you. That was my fault.”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming was puzzled.

“There is a problem with the way I cultivate stability.”

The burly man pondered. “Since you want to take the core away, I make it stay firmly in place. However, this method of staying firmly in place takes the original position of the head as a pivot…

“It was a mistake.

“The head is fixed by force to a central point. I didn’t expect it to start rotating after being affected by external speed…

“Oh…

“It seems that I have to use a comprehensive stabilizing method.

“Although it is weaker, it can resist the shift. There should not be too much of a problem.

“Thanks.

“When you come here again, I will protect you.”

Upon finishing his words… The burly man turned around and left.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

It was surprising that there was a science nerd in the Energy Warrior Association!

And right then.

Another Energy Warrior walked towards him.

“Hello.”

He looked at Lu Ming. “Use the card on me.”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

“I have developed a stability solution different from Old Zhang’s. I want to give it a try as well,”

the person said.

“I might not have enough energy.”

“Don’t worry.”

They threw a stack of four-star cards at him.

He was already a five-star cultivator, therefore four-star Energy Cards were useless to him.

“Feel free to use them,” he said.

Lu Ming was silent.

Were all the big-shots that loaded?!

“Come on!”

He was full of anticipation.

“Sure.”

Lu Ming released the Stealing Card.

Swoosh!

Lights and shadows flashed.

The person’s right arm vibrated.

“It’s coming!”

The person clenched his right fist.

Buzz—

Buzz—

Energy quivered and there seemed to be two streams dueling with each other. One could clearly see the blue veins on his forehead. There was a surge of energy on his right arm. That was his vocation core.

“Ah! My right arm is losing control…”

Bang!

He smashed his fist into the ground.

Bang!

The ground shook.

He managed to stabilize his right arm.

“Shifting energy!”

“It’s a brilliant method!’

Everyone gasped.

They were shocked to see that people were successful at finding a solution to counter the card!

And he was a five-star!

“This is the stabilizing solution that I have developed.”

The person was delighted. “It might be a good idea to adopt passive solutions in general. However, it seems to be a waste of time and energy, and it hinders my cultivation, weakening the body. Therefore, my solution is to actively stabilize it when the energy core is being affected!

“Then, I can stabilize the core…

“And it won’t take up a lot of time!

“In essence, it is an ability. To counterattack Lu Ming’s card, it needs to reach a certain value to be able to stabilize the energy core!

“That value…

“I will call it the Lu Ming Resistance Value,” the person said happily.

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Hey brother, what do you mean by Lu Ming Resistance Value? Why doesn’t he simply call it the energy core stability value?!

“However… My current Lu Ming Resistance Value is fifty five points. That is still a distance away from the passing mark.”

The person felt regretful.

He had openly shared the parameter’s standard he had set!

According to the standards that he set…

It would be stabilized if the Lu Ming Resistance Value reached sixty points!

If it reached seventy points and above, he could even make use of it or the impact of the card to launch a lethal attack!

It was far better than the burly man’s results!

“This is not bad.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. With the Lu Ming Resistance Value, they had a clearer understanding of Lu Ming’s cards and its known parameters.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Another person took the initiative to try.

“I am only a three-star. I don’t have enough energy,” Lu Ming said honestly.

“Don’t worry.”

“I have energy with me.”

The six-star big-shot threw a stack of four-star Energy Cards to Lu Ming.

Shush!

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

Oo…

Since he was about to enter the Illusory Realm, it was just as nice…

…

At this very moment…

In the deepest part of the association…

The vice president who had been to Qing Ming City was savoring his tea.

“Hehe. Lu Ming, that chap should have arrived by now?

Well…

I reckon he will be given a round of beating.”

He felt slightly pleased with himself.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Back then at the shop in Qing Ming City, this kid forced him to increase his price with the help of a few others. Now that he was here, he must let him have a taste of the touch of the angry big brothers…

Well…

He believed…

The adorable children would caress Lu Ming well…

Hehe.

He would wait for a while before he joined them.

But…

At this moment.

There was a knock on his office door and the assistant walked in with a flustered face. “President, this is bad. Something has happened. ”

“Calm down.”

The vice president said slowly, “I guess Lu Ming is being beaten up. It’s nothing serious.”

“No.”

The assistant complained tearfully. “The Energy Card inventory is empty…”

“What?”

The vice president widened his eyes.

They were the Energy Warrior Association, not the Card Creators Association! All the Energy Cards had been purchased from the Card Creators Association in batches!

In general, there was always a full stock!

But now…

He looked at the dates. Damn, it was only the fourteenth of the month?!

Not even half a month had passed!

And it was empty?

They would go cold and hungry for the rest of the month?!

Exactly what happened?!
