Divine Card Creator

Tian Du City.

Sword Card Master Association.

Lu Ming was somewhat sad. Too much fronting and this was the outcome…

Meng Shisan said that Lu Ming was a [quasi seven-star]. Having seen Lu Ming’s combat abilities he concluded that it was a simple feat to teach six-stars a lesson. Therefore Meng Shisan was the least worried!

The problem was… Lu Ming was worried!

He defeated the people in the land of the fallen under special conditions!

His real combat abilities were only six-star!

After his energy quality increased from advanced five-star to peak five-star, Lu Ming reckoned that the limit of his combat abilities had reached approximately 1.2 realms.

Of course, it was just one sword.

If he could not defeat his enemies, he would have no chance of surviving at all…

[Quasi seven-star]…

Lu Ming sighed.

This was the reason why he was low-key and humble. He never thought that there would be a day where he was too outstanding and would be lauded by the Swordsmen!

As well as… faced with new challenges!

Right now, the most important thing was dealing with the challenge issued by the peak six-stars!

Should he improve his abilities?

How would he improve them?

Just as Lu Ming was worrying about his abilities, he suddenly felt a light tremor within his body. A surge of energy exploded silently and his cultivation speed increased by 19%!

Bang!

Energy was surging.

“This is…”

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

Buzz—

His wristband communication device vibrated. “Master, I have brought a new disciple back— Zhou Yun.”

“This is great!”

Lu Ming was overjoyed.

The moment he needed something there it was!

She was indeed his beloved disciple!

It seemed that Zhou Yun’s work had been making good progress these days. There was no need for Lu Ming to help her and she had just recruited a talent to join the association!

Although, it was only a mere 19% increase in talents!

But on second thought, this was equivalent to 190 Ye Liangfeis!!!

“Were you successful this time?” Lu Ming asked.

Zhou Yun replied, “This young lady adores you for your looks. She is very excited to join the Sword Card Master Association. My main task these days is to persuade her parents.”

“Oh.”

Lu Ming came to his senses.

Adored him because of his looks…

This made sense. As someone who was used to having fans and supporters, Lu Ming had gladly accepted that he was a cultivator who had good looks.

There was no choice.

He could not help that he was that good looking.

“It has been hard on you.”

Lu Ming smiled.

“It’s okay.”

Zhou Yun said gently. “I am in the process of recruiting the next talent. Please rest assured that I will try to solve it without troubling you as much as possible!”

She knew her master had more important work to do.

“Sure!”

Lu Ming felt pleased.

This was a qualified disciple of the Sword Card Master Association!

“She is so considerate.”

Lu Ming felt emotional. “She is not only considerate but sweet!”

If she was successful, he no longer needed to worry about new disciples. His cultivation speed might increase to another level once in a while!

However, at this moment, in a corner of the association.

The teenager in white and the teenager in black stared quietly in front of them. A magical card was suspended in front of them, glowing brightly.

Buzz—

Buzz—

An unreal scene appeared.

This was the card left by the father of the teenager in white.

It was a legendary seven-star card!

This card had an almost unlimited number of uses and powerful concealment abilities. It had a strong alerting ability and was a special tool to save one’s life when in crisis!

“What did you hear?” The teenager in black asked silently.

The teenager in white looked pale.

His hands trembled slightly.

Vaguely…

He seemed to have heard his master saying that it was great, very sweet, and that he felt comfortable…

He was done for!

Yun-er had gone to look for Master again!

“What did you hear?”

The teenager in black found it weird.

“Rapeseed flowers…”

The teenager in white was in a trance.

Right then, his eyes became blurry.

He saw a land full of blooming rapeseed flowers. There was a faint glow of light. The blooming flowers were a beautiful sight. They were even brighter than the green lights…

Wait a minute.

Why did I sing it…

Oh, this was a song Yun-er hummed. She said she heard it from Master and found it pleasing…

Wait a minute.

There’s Master again!!!

The teenager in white looked crestfallen. His heart was in pain.

“Are you alright?” The teenager in black asked out of concern.

“I…

“I seemed to have been cuckolded again.”

The teenager in white had tears in his eyes.

“My condolences.”

The teenager in black patted his shoulder, consoling him. “It’s alright, you will get used to it.”

The teenager in white was stunned.

Why should he get used to it?!

The teenager in black sighed.

He did not know how to comfort him about that.

He had not had many friends in the past. Li Haoran was his only one. Usually, it was Li Haoran who consoled him. He was not good at comforting others.

Therefore, he could only think hard about it.

Oo, he searched through his pockets. There was a packet of cookies.

It was a sandwich cookie that was recently very popular in Tian Du City. There were two black cookies with a white cream sandwiched in between them.

Cookies…

Chicken soup for the soul…

The teenager in black was trying hard to think of words.

Oh yes, life is like this cookie. One never knows whether the mouthful of biscuits will be sweet or bitter?

It was quite philosophical!

He was very smart!

Hence, he handed his favorite cookie to the teenager.

“Take this.”

He handed him the cookie.

“Huh?”

The teenager in white was confused.

“Life is like this cookie…”

The teenager in black.

However, he had yet to finish and the teenager in white looked alarmed.

The teenager in white suddenly took a step back.

Wait a minute.

Life is like this cookie…

He looked at his white clothes and looked at the teenager in black who was opposite him and at the sandwich cookie, suddenly looking terrified.

“You…

“What do you want?!”

The teenager in white panicked.

“What?”

The teenager in black was at a loss.

There was nothing to be afraid of!

He had done nothing.

“W-what are you trying to say?”

The teenager in white shivered.

The teenager in black was baffled. “I am merely trying to say something philosophical…”

“Philosophical…”

The teenager in white panicked further.

He remembered that his master had talked about something philosophical but with a dirty twist to it. The cookie seemed to be… related to that?! Therefore, the teenager in black…

That was right!

He had heard that the teenager in black and Li Haoran…

He suddenly figured it out.

“I’m sorry.

“I…

“I can’t do it.

“I am not good at philosophy.”

The teenager in white was in a panic. He threw away the cookie in his hands and fled.

The teenager in black was dumbstruck.

What is going on?

…

At that very moment…

The president’s office.

Lu Ming was still thinking of ways to increase his abilities.

The Swordsmen from the Swordsman Association might be there tomorrow! He did not have much time left… He had to have stronger abilities, but…

Lu Ming’s head was aching.

How could he increase his abilities in one day?!

This was not possible!

Oh, yes, I should take a look at the association!

The first generation disciples of the Sword Card Master Association enjoyed exclusive rights, and made huge contributions to the association by doing research!

Lu Ming thought about it and decided to check the interface of the association.

Well, the first panel that he saw was Li Mei’s department.

Ever since having shadow-transformed bodies, Li Mei had been into the study of shadow techniques and his combat abilities had increased significantly. He had reached perfection in his study of shadows. No one was his match!

Well…

Lu Ming clicked open his research and contribution records.

“Analysis Report On The Feasibility Of The Shadow and The Body Attacking Simultaneously”

“Testing Of The Feasibility Of The Shadow, Card spirit and The Body Moving At The Same Time” (Cited Senior Sister’s Documents Related To Manifestation of Card Spirit)

“Analysis Of The Texture Of The Shadow”

“Report On Whether Liquid Would Flow Out Of The Shadow’s Avatar, and Its Composition”

“All Kinds Of Speculations Regarding The Shadow’s Avatar”

…

Wait a minute, there were dozens of research papers as well as their subsequent findings.

He had to admit that Li Mei was very hardworking. It was only a basketball fruit and he managed to develop the shadow technique to this stage!

However…

The reports…

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

If he remembered correctly, Li Mei’s card spirit was a female spirit body.

The reports were regarding shadow’s Avatar, the body, the manifestation of the card spirit, texture analysis and the flow of liquid. What was he trying to do?!

It was too horrible to think about!

Lu Ming specially made a trip to the shadow department.

Over there, shadows emerged.

Li Mei sat on the wheelchair excitedly and the shadow sat on Li Mei in the same posture. It seemed like a blooming lotus that swayed in the wind.

Lu Ming was silent.

He suddenly felt that he had neglected this disciple… Look, he had resorted to doing that!

He coughed.

“Master!”

Li Mei was elated as he greeted him respectfully, “You are here.”

“What are you doing?”

Lu Ming pointed to the shadow that was sitting on him.

“Ahhh…”

Li Mei came to his senses and said excitedly, “Master, after studying it for a period of time, I have successfully developed a way of becoming one with the shadow!”

Lu Ming was silent.

This method of becoming one with the shadow did not seem reliable!

What if…

The connection was broken…

It was too dangerous!!!

“Look.”

Li Mei demonstrated for him happily.

Buzz—

A shadow flashed.

His shadow gradually sunk becoming one with his body, until it completely disappeared, integrating with Li Mei’s body.

The body…

The shadow… had perfectly overlapped!

“This is…”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

“Becoming one with the shadow!”

It turned out to be that kind of union!!!

In essence, this ability was of the same nature as Swordsman’s becoming one with the sword, Hammerer’s becoming one with the hammer, Energy Warrior’s becoming one with x. The combat abilities were greatly improved! After all, it was naturally not the same when one fought by oneself and when their shadow assisted with the fight!

Of course, there was only one small problem now.

And that was… the effect was unknown!

This was because Li Mei could not test it out…

He was in a wheelchair and hence his testing range was smaller. This was why Lu Ming had seen that scene upon arriving.

“Understood.”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Becoming one with the shadow…

It was feasible!!!

He understood the secret of this method right away! If he had to put it into words, perhaps it would be easier to visualize it if he described it using Lunar Shadow Sword although it was totally different.

Hence, Lu Ming imparted Lunar Shadow Sword to Li Mei.

“You can try integrating them,” Lu Ming suggested. “Perhaps, there will be some new discoveries.”

“This is amazing!!”

Li Mei was thrilled.

A phenomenal swordplay!

And it was related to the shadow!

President…

This was his president, indeed!

Li Mei was full of respect for him.

Every disciple who had read the biography of the association, as well as the history of the association, was full of respect for the president!

He was so outstanding!

He was everyone’s idol!

Whenever Li Mei wanted to give up, he would think of the president. He was only sixteen years old and he had created the Sword Card Master Association by himself, developing it to what it was now…

He must have been very persistent!

It meant a lot to receive the president’s support!

“I will work hard!” Li Mei said in a low voice.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder.

He would take this ability of becoming one with the shadow away first.

Even if it only increased combat abilities by 10%, it was still beneficial to him. If he used it with Lunar Shadow Sword, perhaps he would bring it to a higher level!

In that case, he would be more confident in tomorrow’s challenge.

As for the phenomenal swordplay, in fact, it was not that important.

He had his sister, Qiu Shuyi, and the Sword Card Master Association as his support. The phenomenal swordplay might be precious, but it no longer had a huge impact on Lu Ming.

All along his biggest concern was that the Lunar Shadow legacy would be exposed…

But now that he thought about it, there was nothing to be afraid of!

Old Wu had changed his vocation.

Wang Xuan inherited his family legacy!

Zhao Yunshan was his disciple!

As for Gao Tianlang…

Cough.

With Xiaoqing around, he would not say anything.

There were those traitors who had died and the Swordsmen who could not care less… Looking at it, there was nothing to worry about even if it was exposed.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming felt at ease.

He once again focused his attention on the various departments in the association.

Since Li Mei could come up with an ability that increased combat capabilities, other people might have interesting discoveries as well!

After all, everyone was a genius!

Lu Ming felt that he seemed to have underestimated his disciples.

Perhaps…

Everyone had made some progress.

Hence, Lu Ming decided to check through the research files.

At this moment.

His wristband communication device vibrated. It was a familiar number. Lu Ming answered the call and there was an equally familiar voice. “Is this Comrade Lu Ming?”

Comrade…

Lu Ming sighed.

Lu Ming sighed again. “Tell me. Who was captured? Is it Zhang Yang or Jiang Feng?”

What else could he say?!

Every time he received a call from the police, it was to get people out from jail!

He even memorized the phone numbers!

“Huh?”

The police officer on the other end was confused.

Crap!

Why is this person more familiar with the case than him!?

He checked the name list. it was not the two people mentioned by Lu Ming. “Hello, Comrade Lu Ming, your friend Li Ergou is with us, can you…”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Li Ergou?!

Why was this child captured by the police?!

“What are the charges?”

“Ruining the cityscape.”

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

Ruining the cityscape?

How is that possible?!

Li Ergou might be a simp, but he had the looks! As long as he was not with Lu Ming, Li Ergou was considered a pretty boy!

“That is strange…”

Lu Ming was doubtful.

However…

He did not get involved in the matter.

After hanging up the phone, he contacted Li Haoran, telling him to handle it. He was running out of time today. He did not have time to waste on looking for someone.

“Understood,” Li Haoran replied.

Right then.

Lu Ming shook his head as he continued to look at the association’s information.

He paused briefly. He skipped the shadow department and looked at Li Ergou’s concealment department. He could take a look at Li Ergou’s recent research and development results…

Lu Ming was suddenly in a daze.

“Related Reports On Effects Of Complicated Lights On Becoming Invisible”

“Effects Of Sound Waves On Concealment”

“Experimental Reports and Analysis On Whether Clothes Should Be Worn In Concealment”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck. Concealment, clothes?

Damn!

He seemed to know why Li Ergou had been captured…

…
