nAt Chong Yang City.

nThe Card Creators Association.

nThe Card Creating Pen in Li Haoran’s hands penned in light strokes. One card was created successfully.

nBuzz—

nBlue lights flashed.

nThe card was completed.

nThose glittering and glowing energy particles in the small card had turned into blue fluorescent lights due to the high-density condensation. They looked so surreal.

n“This is…

nSurmounting ability?”

nThe president of Chong Yang branch, who was sitting beside him, was appalled. Li Haoran had already progressed to such a level?

nSurmounting ability?

nIt referred to the transformation at the next stage of advanced ability!

nRegardless of one’s profession and level, grasping the surmounting ability meant that the person had unmatchable talent!

nYes.

nTalent!

nSome things are very difficult to achieve with hard work alone.

nThe imparting of ability and learning had to begin from the basics. For deep and detailed learning, the amount of energy and time one had to use was frighteningly large!

nTalented people did not want to waste time on this aspect too. They already dashed towards greater heights!

nWhat would happen to the untalented ones who were stuck at this level?

nIt would be more difficult to understand forever.

nTherefore…

nThere were very few people who could master the surmounting ability or even advanced abilities.

nEspecially—

nAt this stage.

nWhat about card creation?

nIt was even more difficult!

nThe higher the level, the greater the requirements for the basics!

nMore sophisticated lines!

nMore complex techniques!

nOrdinary one-star, two-star and three-star Card Creators might not even know about advanced cards, much less the legendary surmounting card!

nAnd now…

nLi Haoran actually created it himself.

n“I was lucky to have obtained a surmounting card in the Mystic Realm,” Li Haoran said faintly, “I’ve studied it for a month and managed to create it.”

n“Okay. Very good.”

nThe president felt very emotional.

nHow long had it been since their Chong Yang branch had a genius?

nEspecially this kind of genius!

nEven he himself could not create this kind of card!

nThis child’s talent was shocking!

nHe was certain that Li Haoran would be a high-ranking genius even at the headquarters. A three-star high-level Card Creator, surmounting ability…

nAll these were honors!

n“Not bad.

nLi Aiguo was very satisfied. This was his son, indeed!

nGiven this kind of card creation standard, it did not matter what kind of ‘foreign aid’ they got. They would beat the hell out of them!

nQing Ming City?

nHehe…

nZhang Yang!

nIt was time that you pay me back what you owe!

n***

nTwo days later.

nIn the Card Creators Association of Qing Ming City.

nEarly in the morning.

nThe conference room was already filled with people.

nThey were all waiting for Lu Ming and his aid to come. External parties needed to register in advance before entering. After all, only members of the Card Creators Association were eligible to participate in the match.

n“I don’t know if those legendary people will come.”

nEveryone was having some expectations.

nWell…

nMany people who could enter The First Academy had nicknames. Most of the Card Creators from The First Academy were already famous even before they entered the academy.

n“Lu Ming brought someone to the association.”

nThere was news from the receptionist.

nZhang Yang and the group craned their neck and waited anxiously.

nDignity?

nWho cared!

nAs long as they could win this exchange match, they could even crane their buttocks, much less their neck.

nHe was coming!

nHe was coming!

nZzz —

nThe doors opened.

nZhang Yang swept his expectant gaze across. The smile on his face instantly froze.

nAt the doorstep.

nThere was only Lu Ming.

nOh.

nHe was holding the hands of a child.

n???

nWhere was the promised aid?!

n“Not here yet?”

nZhang Yang was beginning to feel anxious.

nThe people from The First Academy were indeed arrogant. The match was about to start and yet, the person had not arrived. Fine. It was acceptable for talented people to be a little proud.

n“She’s here.”

nLu Ming shrugged.

n“Where?”

nZhang Yang looked behind him.

n“Here.”

nLu Ming pushed Xiaobai to the front.

nEveryone was dumbstruck.

nWell…

nA child?!

nDamn, are you kidding me!

nThis is the Card Creator you recommended?! One can tell that this is a primary school student at one glance?!

n“Come.”

nLu Ming asked Xiaobai to come over. “Greet everyone.”

n“Okay.”

nXiaobai nodded obediently. She turned around and said, “Hello, grandfathers.”

nGrandfathers…

nThe hands of Zhang Yang and the group trembled.

nThey were only over fifty years old! This child was not eloquent at all!

n“This is Jiang Feng’s daughter, Xiaobai,” Lu Ming introduced.

nJiang Feng…

nZhang Yang and the group looked at one another.

nOh, this was Senior Jiang’s granddaughter?

nSenior Jiang was only a few years older than them. However, this greeting sounded…

nSo rustic… Damn!

n“You’re Xiaobai, right.”

nZhang Yang smiled bitterly. “Are you a one-star Card Creator?”

n“Yes.”

nXiaobai nodded.

n“Your card creating standards…”

nZhang Yang rubbed his head.

n“I’m not sure.”

nXiaobai was somewhat clueless.

nShe had been learning from Lu Ming all along and did not know her standards.

nWe will panic if you continue to behave in this way, understand?

n“She is stronger than the one-star me!” Lu Ming said calmly.

n“Oh?”

nEveryone was a little astonished.

nLu Ming had received the badge of the most powerful one-star Card Creator before!

nIn that case…

n“Should we give it a try?”

nZhang Yang suggested. He asked his assistant to prepare the materials.

n“Xiaobai, create a card for the grandfathers to see.”

nLu Ming instructed.

n“Okay.”

nXiaobai nodded obediently.

nThe ‘grandfathers’ faces dimmed. This address was really…

nWhoosh!

nWhoosh!

nAn ordinary Energy Card was created.

nZhang Yang and the group was astonished by the lines that flashed across their eyes. This kind of drawing standard was comparable to, or even better than, Lu Ming. This child’s talent was shocking.

n“This will do.”

nEveryone was very satisfied.

nAlthough it was just an ordinary Energy Card, it was enough to tell that Xiaobai had an excellent foundation.

n“Okay.”

nAfter it ended, Xiaobai quickly put away the Energy Card.

nWell…

nThis was a one-star Energy Card.

nShe could not waste it.

nHe cast an unfriendly gaze at Lu Ming. Damn. This was such a talented and adorable lady. Why had she been taught this way?!

nWeren’t you afraid that Jiang Feng would beat you to death?

n“Cough, cough.”

nLu Ming coughed once and pretended that he did not see anything.

n“You really didn’t invite any students from The First Academy?”

nZhang Yang sighed.

n“I didn’t.”

nLu Ming shook his head.

n“But you said you have someone above you.”

nZhang Yang said coldly.

n“Xiaobai likes to sit on my lap.”

nLu Ming pursed his lips.

nDamn!

nThis was also considered having ‘someone above’?!

nYours truly had thought that you were referring to philosophy. In the end, you were referring to your body?

nThis brat…

nZhang Yang was at a loss for words.

nIn Qing Ming City, which Card Creator was not respectful and polite with him?

nBut Lu Ming?

nHe was too mischievous!

nThis was such an important matter and yet, he dared to fool around with him!

n“Let’s hope that we can win.”

nZhang Yang sighed.

nThe circumstances were already as such. What else could he say?

nLu Ming deliberately brought Xiaobai here at such a timing because he did not want to give him any time to react.

nAt this juncture, the people from Chong Yang branch successively arrived. What made them speechless was that… Besides themselves, they brought along many video cameras.

nOh.

nThere was even a live broadcast.

nThey could vaguely hear words such as “Cheers” and various tipping services to the host during the live streaming.

nZhang Yang’s face was ghastly pale.

nWere the people from the Chong Yang branch that confident?

nHehe.

n“Call the people from Qing Ming City TV Station to come over.”

nZhang Yang sneered coldly.

nDidn’t you want to have a live broadcast?

nI will let you broadcast everything.

n“Okay.”

nThe assistant went to make arrangements.

nIn the morning.

nAt ten o’clock.

nThe huge testing area in the association had already been converted into a competition ground.

nIt was very clean.

nIt was very tidy.

n“The testing area of your association is not bad.”

nThe people from the Chong Yang branch were a little surprised.

nThe testing area was one of the facilities built in the earlier days, typically ten years ago. Most of the time, they would just change or replace some of the testing equipment. But Qing Ming association?

nThey changed everything!

nThe textured ice blue wallpaper, the decor, and facilities that gave out a soothing feel looked like they had just been refurbished this year.

nHe who has the wealth speaks louder than others!

n“The Qing Ming branch was indeed the one with the most sponsorships.”

nThe president of the Chong Yang branch had a scorching look in his eyes.

nNext year.

nNext year, all these will be mine!

nZhang Yang’s gaze landed on Lu Ming.

nLu Ming played dumb.

nSeemingly, this area was rebuilt after he demolished it?

nWell…

nNo wonder it looked so new.

n
