nQing Ming City.

nIn the testing area.

n“You’re Lu Ming, right?”

nA young man from Chong Yang branch’s team cast his gaze at Lu Ming. “Hello, I am Li Haoran.”

n“Hello.”

nLu Ming nodded slightly.

n“You’re not bad. Very courageous,” Li Haoran praised.

nLu Ming clearly knew that Li Haoran’s father would be taking part in the two-star match. Yet, he dared to participate in it. He was quite courageous. Coupled with those few famous cards he created, he was a good seedling!

n“Are you interested in joining the Chong Yang branch to develop?” Li Haoran said faintly.

nShush!

nThe entire testing area turned silent.

nThe people from the Qing Ming branch were filled with rage.

nHe was too much!

nPoaching in front of them?!

n“If you are interested, contact me after the match,” Li Haoran said calmly.

nHow others viewed him?

nHe did not care at all.

nTo be honest…

nHe did not even care about the president of the Chong Yang branch. From the moment that he created the surmounting card, he had already surpassed these people!

nHe thought that Lu Ming was quite capable and thus extended him an invitation. That was all.

nTheir stares?

nWho cared!

nLu Ming was speechless.

nWere geniuses nowadays so complacent?

n“Let’s begin,”

nZhang Yang’s face was ghastly pale.

nHe was poaching in front of him. The people from the Chong Yang branch were really too arrogant.

nIt was a very simple match.

nAs this was an inter-branch exchange match, the preparations were not complicated. After the two presidents created the design plan, they immediately drew a one-star card and placed it in the competition ground.

n“I’ll start first.”

nA middle-aged man over forty years old from the Chong Yang branch went on stage.

nThe faces of the people from the Qing Ming branch darkened.

nThis age…

nIn order to win the match, Chong Yang branch did not even want their face anymore!

nIn normal circumstances, no matter how lousy the Card Creator was, with the gradual passing of time and cultivation, they would attain three-star at forty to fifty years old?

nAfter all, there was no bottleneck between one-star and three-star!

nOne just had to keep accumulating!

nBut this person…

nHe was still at one-star at such an age!

nIn normal circumstances, it was difficult to find this kind of Card Creator!

nAt this very moment…

nThe middle-aged man went on stage and carefully began to draw the lines according to the card. After making a perfect copy of it and going through the testing.

nDee—

nCopy Index, Ninety marks!

n“Ninety marks?”

nEveryone was shocked.

nThis score…

nIt was too high!

nOne had to know, even if it was a one-star card with one-star lines, it was personally drawn and created by someone at the president level. Their capability was not something to be disparaged!

nSo as to speak…

nAt one-star, this guy’s standard was already close to that of the president?

nThis kind of standard…

n“It’s you, Guo Wenxin.”

nZhang Yang suddenly recalled.

nThis was an oddball!

nHe was a one-star Card Creator.

nHowever, he felt that he had not fully explored what one-star entailed and did not want to become a two-star Card Creator. Hence, he had been studying the one-star domain intensively!

nHe self-destructed his energy to remain at the one-star level!

nAfter decades of research, he successfully modified many one-star Base Cards! He had even received a commendation badge from the Card Creators Association headquarters for that!

nRumors had it that he had already created a one-star advanced card!

nThis man was an exception!

n“It’s me.”

nGuo Wenxin smiled faintly.

nHowever, there was a trace of pride in that smile.

nHe was well aware that he had ordinary talents and would be mediocre at higher levels. As such, he might as well specialize in the one-star domain and become a known one-star Card Creator.

nThings had been going on smoothly for him all these years.

n“There is some trouble.”

nZhang Yang and the group wore ugly expressions.

nThis guy…

n“If you’re still at the one-star level, I may have the chance to compete with you.”

nGuo Wenxin looked at Lu Ming before sighing and saying, “It’s a pity.”

nLu Ming smiled. “It’s alright.”

n“Come, Xiaobai, go and give it a try,” Lu Ming said.

n“Okay.”

nXiaobai then went on stage.

nThe people from Chong Yang was a little dumbfounded.

nA child?

nHad the Qing Ming Association given up?

nHowever, just as such thoughts emerged in their minds, they saw the young lady starting to draw the lines after taking a glance at the card. The Card Creating Pen was penning furiously.

nAfter thirty seconds, the penning stopped.

n“It’s done.”

nXiaobai returned to Lu Ming’s side.

nEveryone was a little appalled.

nEven before Zhang Yang and the group could regain their senses, she had already completed the task?

nA few Card Creators who were supposed to test the cards went forward. After taking a glance, they gingerly conducted the testing. Looking at the card with odd expressions, they announced the score.

nThe score is one hundred and twenty!

n“How is that possible?!

nGuo Wenxin could not help but jump in shock.

nTo hell with it. What kind of score was this?!

nWasn’t one hundred the perfect score?!

n“Hehe,” he sneered.

nThey were on a live broadcast now. Did they need to make it so obvious that they were cheating…

nThereafter, he glanced at Xiaobai’s card and was instantly stunned. Zhang Yang and the group also peered at it. Their faces were also full of astonishment. This…

nThe lines drawn by the young lady were actually better than that drawn by the two presidents!

nYes.

nHow did the score of hundred and twenty come about?

nNaturally, it was because the drawing was better than the original version!

nThese lines…

nwere simply the perfect template!

nLu Ming smiled but said nothing.

nOne-star modification?

nAdvanced card?

nWhat a joke!

nXiaobai was someone who could create the “Meltdown Card” after minutes of learning! Even Lu Ming was not a match for her foundation and talent now!

nMuch less Guo Wenxin.

n“How long have you been learning this?”

nGuo Wenxin was in disbelief.

nXiaobai was very young. She was so young that it made one worry.

n“One month?”

nXiaobai counted with her fingers.

nGuo Wenxin almost vomited blood and died.

nO-one month? So as to speak, he had trained at the base level for decades but was worse than a little girl who had trained for one month?!

nThis…

n“Your name is Xiaobai, right?”

nLi Haoran glanced at the young lady with interest. He seemed to have seen his former self in her.

nHehe.

nStunned?

nThese ignorant guys.

nTo geniuses like them, this was the norm!

nSo what if it was the branch president?

nThey might be older but not wiser!

nThis was a president of a fifth or sixth tier city at the border. What was so strange about surpassing him in the basics? When he was a one-star Card Creator in the past, he also had such standards!

nWell…

nThis child was not bad.

n“Are you interested in joining the Chong Yang branch to develop yourself?”

nLi Haoran looked at Xiaobai. “If you are interested, contact me after the match.”

nShush!

nThere was silence in the conference room.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nWere all geniuses nowadays so complacent?

nEven the host of the live broadcast, who was shouting ‘Buddy, amazing!’ earlier could not help but stare at Li Haoran. This guy was too forthright!

nYour side lost the first match!

nLost!

nThe mouth of the president of the Chong Yang branch twitched.

nLi Haoran was good at everything but he was too simple and naive!

nThings such as interpersonal relations and compromising, in the eyes of someone like him who had been sweeping up all the championships in Chong Yang City, did not exist!

nHe had never experienced that before!

nIn addition, no one dared to spout nonsense in front of him.

nHe should have let this child attend The First Academy!

nHe was a little regretful. He did not know what Li Aiguo was thinking of to let Li Haoran remain in Chong Yang City and attend a local college.

nIn the end…

nHis character turned out like that.

n“Second match.”

nHe quickly diverted the topic.

nThis match was between Lu Ming and Li Aiguo.

n“You’re not bad.”

nLi Aiguo said calmly, “If you reach the peak of the two-star level, I may not be your match. However, now, your standards and abilities are still a little weak.”

nHe knew Lu Ming’s trump card – Lamination.

nHowever…

nLamination also required energy depletion!

nGiven Lu Ming’s current standing as a novice two-star Card Creator, how many layers could he stack? At most, he could create small games such as “Leviathan”. What was the point of that?

nThis he was well aware of and so was his son.

n“Hehe.”

nLu Ming smiled humbly.

n“Let’s begin.”

nZhang Yang gave the instructions and the two began to create cards almost simultaneously.

nThe two-star match was about power and did not have a lot of restriction on the card creation time. However, given the standard of two-star Card Creators, they typically would not waste too much time.

nAfter just twenty minutes.

nLi Aiguo had completed creating one card.

nDing—

nThe machine tested.

nCard Rating: Three-star

nEnergy Flow: Three-star Beginner

n“Three-star!”

nMany people could no longer sit still.

nLi Aiguo was just a two-star Card Creator but he actually created a three-star card?!

nOne had to know. There was a huge gap in energy level between a three-star and a two-star Card Creator. If he wanted to research that domain, he had to use a lot of energy!

nBut he actually created it!

n“Not bad. This is Li Aiguo, indeed!”

nThe president of Chong Yang was very satisfied.

nAlthough Li Aiguo was a two-star Card Creator, he was more powerful than ordinary three-star Card Creators! After all, he had been studying at the two-star level all his life.

n“Three-star…”

nZhang Yang was very worried.

nLi Aiguo had already reached this level?

nCreating cards of a higher level!

nHow did he get so many resources?

nOh.

nLi Haoran…

nWait a minute.

nHence, this guy actually used his son’s resources for himself?!

nWas he mad?

nZhang Yang dared not believe it.

nMany people surrendered their last resources in the hope of making their own children stronger and more powerful. Who would make use of his child’s resources for his own cultivation?

nWas he not afraid of delaying Li Haoran’s progress?

nHowever, at the thought that he joined the exchange match at the age of fifty, one could understand!

nHe was extremely thick-skinned.

nWhat could he do when he encountered such a person?

nWould Lu Ming really be fine?

n“Very powerful.”

n“He’s Li Haoran’s father, indeed.”

n“Yes, it seems that the so-called talents are inherited. If he had not been injured in the past, he might have been a Card Creating Master by now!”

n“So true!”

n“It is such a pity.”

nEveryone was whispering to each other.

nLi Aiguo was receiving so much limelight on the stage. Even he himself was starting to believe that he would be a Card Creating Master now if not for his injuries!

nAt this very moment, Lu Ming had also completed creating his card.

nNot many people were paying attention to this.

nAfter all, Li Haoran’s father was around and there was no doubt about the outcome of this match. Nevertheless, the program director was very professional. He focused the camera at Lu Ming who was testing the card.

nDing—

nThe machine tested.

nCard Rating: Three-star

nEnergy Flow: Three-star Top-notch!

nEveryone’s eyes widened.

n“Three-star top-notch?!”

nThere were gasps of astonishment.

nLu Ming also created a three-star card and it was a top-notch one?!

nShush!

nShush!

nRays of scans swept across the card in Lu Ming’s hands, clearly detecting the energy contained in this card. Obviously, it had surpassed the average standard of a three-star card!

nThis…

nThis was actually a real three-star top-notch card!

nThis…

nHow could that be possible?

nLi Aiguo was in disbelief.

nHow could he possibly create a three-star card?

nHe had remained at the peak of two-star for an extremely long time… numerous numbers of years. Additionally, he had his son’s massive resources backing him. He was thus able to attain his current level!

nHe learned how to create one three-star card!

nBut Lu Ming?

nHe had just entered the second-star level!

nBut he actually created a three-star top-notch card?

nThis talent…

nEveryone was stunned.

nHumph!

nXiaobai straightened her back. These folks had not seen the world. Her master was terrific. This was the card of the sleeping burial mound! One of it could fight ten people!

n
