nDowntown area.

nInside the shop.

nLu Ming woke up in good spirits.

nAfter resting for two days, he had returned to his peak.

nDuring this time, his sister gave him a call, telling him to work hard on cultivating, saying that he had done well, and she would prepare a present for him. Lu Ming thought for a long time but could not guess what it was.

nCould it be his sister’s stockings? Lu Ming thought morbidly.

nOf course.

nIt was just a joke.

nHe supposed his sister would not ever wear a dress or something similar in this life. In her words, she said that it would affect her from displaying her combat skills.

nWell, she was very strong and violent.

nWell, since his sister had already settled the issue with the Lunar Shadow Card, Lu Ming had nothing to worry about.

n“It’s time to improve my capability.”

nLu Ming stretched.

nNow that he had recovered mentally and physically, he had many things to do, particularly in regards to improving his capability!

nWhat happened at the mine was indeed very dangerous. Although he had made it back alive, when he thought about it, one could encounter dangers even during an internship that was supposed to be safe. If so, what about other circumstances?

nThere was also the accident that happened not long ago on the neighboring street…

nThere was no real safe place in this world.

nLu Ming had a very thorough understanding of this sentence.

nBecome stronger!

nLu Ming was determined.

nIt just so happened that he received a huge sum of money from selling the certificate that the school gave him.

nCough.

nThere was no other way.

nLu Ming had gone on a totally different path because of the Lightning Original Card. He also had a more suitable cultivation method!

nTeacher guidance?

nNot necessary!

nMoreover, the teachers at their school had limited abilities. They were usually three-star cultivators. They had the lowest capability among all the teachers in high school.

nEven if the teachers guided him, he might not be able to learn anything.

nWhat could he do about it?

nHe was desperate too!

nThis was Lu Ming’s school—the vocational technical college at the crossroad at Qing Ming City. It was one notch lower than the vocational college at the five ways crossroad!

nTherefore, under normal circumstances, Lu Ming would not waste his waste time in school.

n“Well…

nLet’s not bother about the school for now.”

nAnyway, the credits given by the school as compensation were more than enough for him to skip school. It is more important to improve his capability!

nLu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

nHe had too many things that he wanted to do right now.

nFor example—

nCards integration!

nHe had always been very curious. Seven “Brutal Charge” would integrate to form one “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement”. Then what would seven “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” integrate to become?

nHe was excited at the thought of it.

nThrough integrating the cards, his cultivation speed would increase by leaps and bounds!

nHigher difficulty level of cards!

nFaster cultivation speed!

nThis was what Lu Ming wanted.

nHe had reached a faster cultivation speed with “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement”. If he integrated the cards again, perhaps it would transform and his cultivation speed would soar to another heights!

n“It’s worth a try.”

nLu Ming was slightly excited.

nThe shop had not been opened for seven days. He decided to close it for now and to get ready the materials he needed to get the answer that he had been wanting to know.

nCards, energy. All ready.

nBuzz—

nHe called upon the Original Card once again.

n“Dissipate!”

nLu Ming dissipated all the lines on the Original Card.

nThis was because the lines on the Original Card were basically seven “Brutal Charge” Cards, instead of a complete Rampaging Bulls Encirclement”. If he was to start over…

nHe thought about it and created a few Rampaging Bulls Encirclement Cards.

nHe would use one of the cards as a reference design plan in case he forgot how to draw the lines. He would integrate the other cards together.

n“Come on.”

nLu Ming was ready.

nShush!

nOne Rampaging Bulls Encirclement Card was activated and it turned into a burst of lights. When it was about to evolve into herd of bulls, it landed on Lu Ming’s Original Card.

nBuzz—

nA touch of brilliance flashed.

nAll the lights in the room vanished instantly.

nThe Original Card in Lu Ming’s hands gave off a different radiance.

nThe lines had appeared!

nOn the back of the Original Card was the familiar three hundred lines!

nOn the front…

nLu Ming took a look and was ecstatic. The “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” was a comprehensive ability and after it was absorbed, it only took up one part of the lightning crack on the card.

nThis meant that…

nIt could be integrated!

n“Great!”

nLu Ming was overjoyed.

nBang!

nHe activated another “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card. The energy released by the card landed on the Original Card again, and in this moment…

nBuzz—

nThere was a flash of light on the card.

nThe lines had changed!

n“Done.”

nLu Ming looked on with surprise. He was at a loss for words.

nThe lines had evolved.

nThe energy requirement of the card seemed to have increased. Two parts of the lightning crack on the front of the card were being filled up.

nHowever, to his surprise, the changes seemed to be different from what he imagined.

nThere was only a small part of the three hundred lines of the original Rampaging Bulls Encirclement that were changed. There were still a total of three hundred lines!

nThe number of lines did not change!

nWell…

nLu Ming sensed carefully.

nThe energy requirement had doubled. It would require twice the energy to use the card. Nothing more.

n“What does this mean?”

nLu Ming was a little puzzled.

nTherefore…

nDid it mean that this integration was purely an add-on to the original?

n“Wait a minute…”

nLu Ming rubbed his head, reorganizing his thoughts.

nHe could see the lines of the Original Card clearly. For example, the lines for Rampaging Bulls Encirclement Card had been separated into three parts.

nThe first part was the energy module, it had an energy level of three hundred points.

nThe second part was the function module. It could gather seven bulls.

nThe third part was the attack module. It would direct the attack.

nAnd now what?

nWhat was the effect of the integration?

nHehe.

nThree hundred points had been changed to six hundred points, and seven bulls had been changed to fourteen bulls. It was simple and violent. That was why there was no significant changes in the lines. There were only some fine changes in it!

nMust be freaking kidding me?!

n“Let me think for a while…”

nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

nHe remembered that this was not what happened during the first integration!

nAt that time, with the continuous integration of “Brutal Charge”, the lines continued to evolve, and finally they became the three hundred lines of the “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement”!

nWhy did they not change now?

nPerhaps…

nThe lines for “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card had been optimized to the limit?

nOr perhaps, the three hundred lines were too powerful. No matter how many bulls there were, it could easily change the outcome by making small changes to the lines?

nOr perhaps…

nThis was the best outcome!

nThe card had the simplest finalized lines. There was no need for it to get more complicated.

nLines…

nHerds of bulls…

nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

nHe touched the lines on the cards gently.

n“Perhaps the lines are really at their best.”

n“Or perhaps it could keep fine-tuning to become stronger.”

n“However, the energy that the three hundred lines can withstand is limited! Once the amount of energy that needs to be absorbed or the number of bulls gathered exceed the limit…”

n“What will happen then?”

nLu Ming felt energized.

nLet’s continue!

nBuzz—

nAnother “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card was activated.

nAbsorbed!

nThe lines changed slightly, but it was still a total of three hundred lines.

n“Impressive!”

nLu Ming was in awe.

nThe energy requirement had changed from three hundred points to nine hundred points, while the number of bulls increased from seven to twenty. This was the most cruel form of line optimization!

n“Again.”

nWhoosh!

nWhoosh!

nLu Ming kept activating the cards and the lines kept changing.

nTwenty seven bulls…

nThirty five bulls…

n…

nThe bulls kept increasing, testing Lu Ming’s limits.

nEverything remained constant except that the total number of bulls kept increasing. Just when Lu Ming felt like giving up, the seventh card was integrated once again.

nWhoosh!

nThere was a flash of light.

nThe lines on the Original Card were totally transformed.

nBuzz—

nA surge of energy burst through.

nLu Ming widened his eyes and looked at the lines that were newly formed on the back of the card.

nIt had changed!

nAll of the lines had changed!

nThe seven “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Cards seemed to have reached the limit of the three hundred lines, and they transformed into brand new lines.

nThere were only one hundred lines!

nHowever, the lines were intertwined in the most bizarre ways.

nThis was…

nLu Ming widened his eyes.

nSure enough, when the energy requirement of the herd of bulls exceeded the limit of the three hundred lines, the Lightning Original Card evolved and finally optimized again!

nThe one hundred lines were intertwined and they appeared neatly on the card. It looked clean and tidy.

nIt was no longer complex and revolving!

nIt no longer seemed like maze-like routes!

nThere was no longer the need to draw an energy line carefully to the end, for fear that it would overlap with other lines.

nThe lines were intersected!

nThis was the real card creating technique!

nIn general, one had to master the card creating techniques to be a real Card Creator!

nOf course.

nThis was all on the back of the Original Card.

nOn the front…

nLu Ming took a look and was dumbfounded.

nWhat the hell was that?
