nBang!

nThe black cat’s roar was stunning and terrifying.

nThe entire Sea of Consciousness was shaking. Lu Ming’s body turned stiff and was almost torn apart.

n“Sorry.

nMy hands are slippery.”

nAt the critical moment, Lu Ming surrendered decisively.

nAll the hairs of the black cat were shivering. The earlier elegance was gone. Like an ancient beast, it gave Lu Ming a death stare. It was obviously furious.

nSuper fearsome!

n“I’m wrong.”

nLu Ming conceded defeat again.

nThe temptation of stroking the cat…

nAlright.

nActually, he did it on purpose.

nThere was such a powerful creature which was roaming freely in his body. How could he possibly feel at ease? Hence, as per his words earlier, Lu Ming was testing its limit.

nOr it could be said that…

nHe was probing the temperament of this cat.

nThe black cat had fallen into a deep sleep immediately after changing the place. This went to show that he was truly exhausted and needed to rest. Hence, it would not change its resting place at this point in time.

nIt did not have any energy. Nor was it in a condition to do so!

nSo…

nLu Ming was definitely safe!

nHe had to get the information that he wanted at this point in time.

n“…”

nThe golden eyes of the black cat was full of authority and dominance.

nIts cold gaze swept across Lu Ming, as if it had seen through Lu Ming’s mind. That elegant and aloof eyes were filled with contempt.

nSuddenly… its gaze shifted and landed on the Original Card in the Sea of Consciousness.

nIn usual times…

nWhen it was not summoned, Lu Ming’s Original Card was naturally in this place.

nOuch—

nThe black cat opened its mouth lazily. It simply gnawed the card with one bite.

nClick!

nA loud and crisp sound could be heard coming from the Original Card.

nLu Ming’s expression changed greatly.

nThe Original Card was the foundation of his cultivation!

nIf the Original Card was ruined, he would really become an invalid!

nAt the thought of this…

nHe couldn’t care less about the probe anymore. He simply pounced on the black cat, hoping to snatch his Original Card back. At this juncture, the black cat’s cold gaze swept across his body.

nPff!

nThe black cat’s opened its mouth and spat out the Original Card.

nBang!

nWhen the Original Card was spewed out, Lu Ming was immediately thrown to the ground, landing harshly.

nLu Ming did not care whether he was injured or not. He crawled up quickly and looked at the Original Card. His eyes widened instantly. The Original Card, which was originally crystal clear, was now full of scratches.

nThere was a scar in the shape of lighting on it. Seemingly, the card that was originally complete had been separated into pieces.

n“It has cracked.”

nLu Ming’s heart ached badly.

nBrother, you are a cat, okay?!

nWhy are you biting everywhere like a husky! You have crossed the line!

nLu Ming was very nervous.

nHe carefully bent the card. It was not really broken into pieces. He then carried the Original Card and turned it around to check all sides. After confirming that the Original Card could still be used, he heaved a sigh of relief.

nFortunately, it was not spoiled. Otherwise, he would really have to cultivate from scratch again.

nThis guy…

nHe had finally seen for himself the black cat’s capability.

nWhoosh!

nThe black cat’s aura swept across Lu Ming. He was overcome with a wave of cold.

nThis was a warning.

nBang!

nWhen the black cat beat its little claw, Lu Ming was thrown out immediately.

nHe was inside his own body, okay?!

nHis consciousness returned.

nLu Ming was back to the real world.

nTrue enough, he did not guess wrong…

nThere was a flash of awareness in Lu Ming’s heart. He was right to have stroked the cat!

nAlthough the black cat had gnawed his Original Card and chased him out, it had confirmed the guess in Lu Ming’s heart.

nFirst, it was obviously very powerful but it only gave him a warning. It must have certain reservations.

nOr rather, it had a kind-hearted nature and did not like to hurt others.

nRegardless of the reason, this was a good thing.

nTo a certain extent, he was temporarily safe.

nSecond, it was really very powerful.

nTo Lu Ming’s knowledge, it was very difficult to destroy the Original Card!

nEven if he could seal himself with ten or hundred times more energy, the Card Creator himself would be down on luck. The Original Card would not be too damaged.

nAs such, one could infer how strong the Original Card was.

nAnd the black cat, who only took a bite…

nThis was undoubtedly scary…

nWith such a creature following him, Lu Ming was equivalent to having a strong and powerful trump card.

nThird, and of course, this was also the most important point: “Stroking the cat feels good indeed.”

nLu Ming was filled with emotions.

nHe had stroked cats for his whole life but not on a cat with such a level.

nOf course, feeling good was one thing. Although he had resolved his worries, the outcome was quite serious. After all, the cat was super fierce when it showed its prowess.

nFor example…

nLu Ming’s Original Card.

nBuzz—

nFaint lights flashed. The Original Card was suspended in the air.

nLu Ming’s face dimmed.

nBefore, his Original Card was crystal clear and glittery. It was very beautiful. But now… an odd crack in the shape of a lightning seemed to be imprinted on the Original Card.

nEven that glittery shine did not seemed so pure and white anymore. There was a tinge of green in it.

nIt was very odd and mysterious.

nSo, this was the price of stroking the cat?

n“Can this thing still be used?”

nLu Ming was very doubtful.

nAfter thinking.

nHe might as well find a Fruit Ninja Card and release it to his Original Card, and use the Original Card to seal the Fruit Ninja illusion to see the effect.

nWell…

nLu Ming looked at the picture displayed on the Original Card.

nThe lines at the back were the same!

nThe lines at the front were the same too!

nBesides that lighting crack that had a faint green shine, giving the entire card a ghostly feel, the card did not seem affected.

n“It’s normal!”

nLu Ming felt at ease then.

nDuring the day, he had been creating cards and managing his business. At night, he was in a battle of wits and courage with the black cat. Without him noticing it, it was already past midnight.

nLu Ming moved to his own little house and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

nRight then…

nIn the house of a citizen in the outskirts.

nShan Zhu was happily playing mahjong with a few topless men.

n“Bamboo Three!”

n“Can’t afford to take it!”

n“Haha, I won.”

nShan Zhu laughed loudly.

nHe felt that lady luck was shining on him.

nFirst, he was lucky to have scavenged a pile of high-end card fragments in the wilderness. He sold everything to the shop that often helped them to manage these items. Afterwards, he sold the rejected rubbish cards to Lu Ming.

nHaha.

nThat fool!

nAlthough he did not look as weak and timid as before, he was still very stupid.

n“Shan Zhu, you have won ten times in a row, right?”

nThe man beside him was green with envy. “You… what stroke of luck did you have today?”

n“Hehe.”

nShan Zhu was smug. “That… let me tell you. I… ”

nSuddenly…

nHis expression froze.

nGradually, blood oozed out from in between his brows and a hole appeared.

n“Shan Zhu?”

nThe few people around him were shocked and terrified. Clearly, Shan Zhu was still sitting down, his eyes wide opened. However, his body was no longer breathing. It frightened the life out of them. They turned and ran.

nWhoosh!

nThere were flashes of blood.

nThe scene was completely lifeless.

nA frail and lean figure gradually appeared in the darkness. He walked to Shan Zhu and searched for a sheet of paper from his body. The receipt of the sale of the card fragment was written on it.

nA total of seventy-two card fragments. There were three one-star card fragments, five two-star card fragments, three-star…

nThe last one was twenty-one pieces of unknown card fragments.

nOh.

nThe names of the recipients were on it.

nThat man stopped for a moment. He then turned and left.

nA while later.

nThat man appeared at the shop written in the receipt and walked in in a relaxed manner. He looked for the things that he wanted to. Very quickly, he found the card fragments that he wanted.

n“Well…”

nHe pieced them together.

nA few unknown card fragments had been pieced together to form half a small card. It looked very extraordinary.

n“I found you.”

nHe lifted his hand.

nBang!

nA frightening flow of energy appeared in his hands.

nThe missing parts on the card were actually slowly rebuilding themselves. It was terrifying. However, after the card gradually came together, that man looked very disappointed.

n“True enough…

nI was too late?”

nHe was full of regrets. “This card is valuable because of you. How can the level be so low? It seems that… You have really disappeared… ”

n“If I had known that this would happen, would I still have fought this battle?”

nThere was a sigh.

nHis figure vanished without a trace.

nAs if… he had never appeared.

n
