Divine Card Creator

Tian Du City.

The Sword Card Master association.

“Master?”

Xiaobai blinked her big and bright eyes, looking at her master who looked worried. She was on tenterhooks.

C-could it be that there was an issue?

She had spent many days developing this ability.

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Lu Ming came to his senses.

There was nothing to be afraid of!

This was the age of cultivation. There was nothing to fear! Both of them were merely four-stars and they idled around in life. It was ridiculous to worry about destroying the world…

Forget it.

He should think about the current problem.

Therefore, Lu Ming asked, “Xiaobai, can the card create a cognitive spirit?”

“Not yet.”

Xiaobai felt slightly embarrassed. “I recited the lines to it several times. But it is unsuccessful. I wondered if perhaps it has not grown up yet.”

“Oh…”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

No cognitive spirit?

Well…

This was better.

Original Cards with cognitive spirits might cause trouble. They might fight with each other everyday!

“It may not be a good idea to allow a two-child policy.”

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.

Huh?!

Xiaobai’s face went blank. “Master, what two-child policy are you talking about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Lu Ming coughed. “I am referring to two Sword Embryos…”

“Oh.”

Stars twinkled in Xiaobai’s eyes.

He was indeed a Master. He was already thinking about Sword Embryos!

“To form the Original Card…”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “We certainly cannot use the normal way of forming a card, right?”

“Yes.”

Xiaobai nodded. “I tried several times. As Xiao-Xiaobai is a card spirit, the condensation method is slightly different from us. I tried ^&&*#@^[]$#^% theory, and %^^&$[]^$^* formula before I finally succeeded.”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

He understood every word that Xiaobai said. But when she put them together in a sentence, he could not understand them!

Was this a joke?!

The formula and theory…

→_→

However, although he could not quite understand, Lu Ming still recognized the brackets []! The layers of [] seemed to represent some sort of nesting…

“Xiaobai.

“This kind of construction, does it get more and more difficult as one progresses?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Yes!”

Xiaobai nodded vigorously.

Master was awesome!

This was why she had had a headache for several days!

True enough, her Master could tell with one glance!

With her current level, she could only teach Xiao-Xiaobai to condense an Original Card! If they proceeded further, it was impossible to build another Original Card!

That was to say, one card was the limit!

Further on…

They would have to make it layer by layer!

However, in order to use this kind of method, a card spirit had to be created followed by performing more complicated calculations. From the current techniques that they had, it was impossible to achieve all that!

“Oh.”

Lu Ming understood now.

Well, the world was safe for now.

Cough.

“Xiaobai?”

Lu Ming suddenly asked, “Why did you come up with this ability?”

“Because I am too busy.”

Xiaobai lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed. “Recently, Xiao-Xiaobai has been busy teaching the other card spirits and hence there was no one to buy groceries. This is why I came up with this ability.”

Her voice grew softer and softer, her face blush red.

Lu Ming was speechless.

A—alright.

What else could he say?

The creation of such a terrifying ability was because there was no one to buy groceries!

True enough…

Being lazy was the greatest motivation for technological advancements!

Ancient sayings were true!

After a long while…

They had a clear understanding of the functions, uses and structure of the secondary card. The next step would be to create a secondary card for others as well.

“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

Lu Ming called it.

It was time for Xiao-Xiaojian to learn this ability!

Shush!

There was total silence.

“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

Did something happen?

This was the first time Xiao-Xiaojian did not respond to him. He opened the card bag and took out Xiao-Xiaojian. This guy… was pretending to be dead!

“What are you doing?”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

“Get up.”

Lu Ming shook it and took it out. Seeing that its pretenses were seen through, Xiao-Xiaojian took its time to float in the air. “Let me say this first: anything is fine as long as I don’t have to look at the damn formula!”

Lu Ming widened his eyes. Was it telling him to look at it instead? Forget about spatial geometry back, this formula was for the Original Card to create another Original Card. It was impossible for him to lend a helping hand!

Hence…

The man and the card glared at each other.

“Look at it!”

Lu Ming plastered Xiao-Xiaojian onto the formula.

“I won’t!” Xiao-Xiaojian said arrogantly.

“Seriously?”

Lu Ming asked.

“I won’t!”

Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. It was an ancient card spirit. It did not need another Original Card! This was rubbish! It would not look at the rubbish formula even if it had to self-destruct like Xiaolan!

Snort!

“Oh.”

Lu Ming understood now. “Then there is no other choice. I will give it to Xiao-Xiaoshé and the rest first.”

Xiao-Xiaojian sneered.

Spiting it? Even if the few other losers mastered it, they would not surpass it! It would not fall for his tricks!

This was ridiculous!

“Sigh.

“I wonder how long it will take for Xiao-Xiaoshé and the rest to master it… Since Xiao-Xiaobai has mastered it, in the future, they will have something in common… They can discuss the construction of the Original Card as well as how to groom the Original Card. Xiao-Xiaoshé and the rest will be able to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position. Perhaps, they will get together with Xiao-Xiaobai…

“I wonder who will Xiao-Xiaobai take a fancy to…

“Will it be Xiao-Xiaoshé or Xiao-Xiaolei?”

Lu Ming was filled with emotions.

Shush!

A streak of faint light flashed.

An Original Card suddenly appeared, crawling onto the formula.

“Didn’t you insist on not looking at it?”

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

“Humph! Since you are very lacking in talent, I have decided to help you!”

Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. “However, I have a request. I want Xiao-Xiaobai to teach me.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

As long as it was willing to learn, nothing would be an issue.

Therefore, Xiao-Xiaojian began to learn how to create the Original Card with Xiao-Xiaobai’s help. It took a day before it succeeded!

Although…

Xiao-Xiaobai only needed thirty seconds.

Buzz—

Faint fluorescent lights dazzled.

A new Original Card was born!

It was just that it was unlike what Lu Ming imagined. This card was completely different from his original card. This was a four-star Original Card!

This was strange…

Lu Ming was doubtful.

He remembered that Xiao-Xiaobai’s Original Card was exactly the same as Xiao-Xiaobai!

This card…

He looked at the green bangs at the top of Xiao-Xiaojian and was deep in his thoughts. “Xiao-Xiaojian, did you really construct this card?”

“Yes.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was certain.

He looked at the Xiao-Xiaojian.

The card was crystal clear. There were pink and green glows on its bangs. There were also many cracks over its body. To be honest, it was very ugly!

However, the new Original Card was very clean. It was almost the same as Xiao-Xiaobai’s card!

“This is what the new Original Card looks like,” Xiao-Xiaojian said.

“Really?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Yes!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was certain. “Since Xiao-Xiaobai’s card is very clean, it seems as if it looks exactly like Xiao-Xiaobai. In fact, all the newly condensed Original Cards look the same! Besides, due to the energy density, only a four-star is capable of constructing the second Original Card!”

“It is a pity.”

Lu Ming looked at the newly condensed Original Card.

Realm: Beginner four-star!

Energy: Ten thousand points.

Characteristics: None.

This was a standard Original Card. It did not have any characteristics… Lu Ming’s impressive one hundred thousand points of energy were not carried over…

It was a sheer pity.

However, Lu Ming’s combat ability had increased with the ten thousand points of energy!

Lu Ming could clearly feel the main card and the secondary card complementing each other. His current combat abilities might have increased once again!

Perhaps…

He would be able to reach the six-star threshold?

From then on, with this ability, a Sword Card Master would be able to function as a dual SIM phone. Two cards, two realms, as well as super powerful comprehensive combat abilities!

This was the real power of a Sword Card Master!

However…

There was another problem. He wondered how the card cultivated.

Since Lu Ming was the one who had constructed the Original Card, he could cultivate it by himself. As for Xiao-Xiaojian, it was a card spirit hence it could cultivate as well!

As for this Original Card…

Lu Ming tried to make it cultivate and realized that it was slightly complicated. The energy had to go through him and Xiao-Xiaojian before finally reaching the second Original Card!

The efficiency was very low!

Therefore…

In the end, he had to leave it to Xiao-Xiaojian to cultivate.

“Why is it me again?”

Xiao-Xiaojian widened its eyes.

“On what grounds?!”

It had to cultivate on behalf of Lu Ming!

Right now, it had to cultivate on behalf of this new card??!

“An able man is always busy.”

Lu Ming patted it. “There’s no other choice given that there is no spiritual consciousness in the card. Rest assured, once a spiritual consciousness is born, it will have to cultivate by itself!”

Xiao-Xiaojian thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Hence…

Xiao-Xiaojian squatted in the corner, holding its newly condensed Original Card and began to recite to it. “Original Card, Original Card, you have already grown up. You are a mature card. You have to learn to cultivate by yourself. You have to learn to share the burden with your master, Xiao-Xiaojian.” Lu Ming cast an incredulous look at what it was doing.

…

That afternoon.

Zhao Yunshan came out of his retreat!

With the help of an endless amount of resources, he was the first to break through to a five-star!

Lu Ming thought about it. After discussing with Xiaobai, he taught Zhao Yunshan the skills of condensing another Original Card, helping him to condense a second Original Card!

Time taken: Seven and a half minutes.

Realm: Beginner four-star.

Energy: Ten thousand points.

True enough.

It was another standard Original Card!

Although the ability had been newly created and they had yet to develop more functions, the ten thousand points of energy was complementary with their own energy!

This was their strong foundation.

Bang!

Zhao Yunshan sensed the surging energy within his body and was awestruck.

He had broken through to five-star and with the help of this card…

Perhaps…

He would be able to carve out a place for himself!

“Thank you, Master and Senior Sister.”

He bowed respectfully to Lu Ming and Xiaobai before he left the Sword Card Master Association.

Graduation season was about to start!

…

“Way to go.”

Lu Ming sent Zhao Yunshan off. He felt as if he was sending his child off. It was sad.

This sadness did not last long as someone came charging toward the association.

This was true.

He came rushing to the Sword Card Master Association.

“Is this the Sword Card Master Association?”

A young man who was a six-star barged into the association.

“Who are you?”

Lu Ming looked around.

“I am a student from The First Academy.”

The man was proud. “Graduation season is about to start. I just ended my retreat and I heard that the Sword Card Master Association seemed a pretty good choice. I am here to check it out.”

“The on-campus job fair will occur after the graduation,” Lu Ming reminded him.

“It’s alright.”

The man looked smug. “To all of us from the current class, graduation is not a problem! I am more concerned about which association to join!

“However…”

He swept his gaze over them and sounded disappointed. “Although your association has a good base, its overall strength is too weak! Especially you, who are merely a four-star.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Lu Ming yawned, waving lazily.

He understood that the students were proud. Since the student had already looked around, he should be leaving.

He did not expect that…

The young man refused to leave after seeing that they were not as powerful as he had expected. He took another glance before saying, “It is not impossible for me to join…”

Lu Ming cast a strange look at him. He did not ask him to join them.

“Look.

“You need to develop and expand this association. You will need a powerful six-star to do that!”

The young man looked arrogant. ” I am the person that you need! If I join, many students will join as well. However, I have a small request!

“I heard that your older sister is good-looking…”

The young man leaned in. “Can you… haha…”

“Oh.”

Lu Ming understood now.

He was here because of his elder sister.

“You will be beaten to death.”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

“Crap.”

The young man sounded disdainful. “In the past, I would have been afraid. But I heard that your elder sister re-cultivated because of you. It is still up for debate whether she will be able to reach six-star. Perhaps she may not be able to graduate! If you hang out with me, I might be able to help your sister graduate successfully!”

Lu Ming was speechless.

This person was too smug!

“Send him away.”

He waved his hands.

However…

Unexpectedly…

Bang!

A terrifying aura suddenly exploded. The young man unleashed his advanced six-star power, shrouding the entire association!

Buzz—

The storage room next door collapsed under the sheer might of it.

Cold lights flashed.

“Hey man, do you know what a six-star is?”

The young man said coldly.

Lu Ming looked at the ruins of the storage room and stood up, a cold expression on his face as he walked to stand in front of the young man. “Hey man, do you know who the police are?”

Eh?

The young man’s heart skipped a beat.

Bang!

The glass in the hall of the association shattered.

Several policemen came in through the air, surrounding the neighborhood.

The young man was dumbstruck. He was used to life in the school. He apparently did not understand the situation in front of him…

Firstly, this was not school.

Secondly, Lu Ming was not a student.

Thirdly, a six-star creating havoc, using his powers to threaten others was frightening.

Therefore…

Therefore, he had destroyed himself.

Crash!

A few policemen pressed the young man to the ground on the spot.

“Why are you arresting me? I merely scared him a little!”

The young man struggled.

“How dare you resist arrest?”

A senior whom one could tell with one glance had years of experience as a police officer pulled out his baton and smacked his bottom. The young man trembled and all the strength went out of him on the spot.

“Are you alright?”

The police stood in front of Lu Ming.

“Good.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly. “You have come at the right time. It is just that… compensation…”

“Don’t worry!

“We will get him to compensate you.”

The policemen wore austere expressions.

It was their duty to protect the people!

“No.”

Lu Ming pointed at the shattered glass in the distance. “I am referring to that…”

The young man merely destroyed a storage room while the police shattered all the custom-made glass of the association when they arrived!

The policemen took a look at the destruction and suddenly coughed.

“This…

“Well…

“He will have to pay for the damages that were incurred while we enforced the law,” the police affirmed.

“Oo… oo!”

The young man who was pressed down onto the floor widened his eyes. This had nothing to do with him! He was merely here to scare Lu Ming!

He did not destroy the glass!!!

To hell with them, the entire association and the custom-made glass that stretched across three streets!

He could not afford to pay for them!

It was a pity…

Everyone ignored him.

“Shut up!”

The police took him away, detaining him on the spot.

Hence, another person was added to the detention center. If he wanted to participate in the graduation season, he had to pay for all the losses that the Sword Card Master Association incurred…

“Dad.”

The young man called his father.

“Hey, you just left for a day and you already miss us?”

His father was very pleased. “Rest assured. We are doing well. Do well on your exams. You must seize an opportunity during the graduation season and graduate successfully! Oh, Lu Yan is a good girl. If there’s a chance, interact more with her. If you can’t be together, you can still be friends.”

“Well… Dad… ”

The young man paused and said, mincing his words. “I need some money.”

“Oh? How much?”

His father’s eyes lit up.

The child had finally learnt and knew that he needed to prepare gifts when wooing girls.

“Well…”

The young man lowered his head. “You might need to sell the house.”

His father was dumbstruck. He finally noticed something odd about his son’s behaviour as well as his surroundings. He noticed the few words in the background, saying to tell the truth and that one would receive a lighter sentence…

Those familiar words…

This was…

Given his years of experience, his father understood what was going on. He drew in a breath of cold air. “Damn it! How many prostitutes did you visit?!”

The young man was confused.

Ah?

What was his father thinking about?

“I didn’t, I…”

The young man was about to say something when he heard a busy tone on the other end of the phone. By the time he made another call, all he could hear was that the number that he dialed was unavailable.

The young man was dumbfounded.

W-what is going on?

…
