At the shop.

"Master!"

Xiaobai took away the Liangpi angrily.

How annoying!

He had promised not to slurp Liangpi during mealtimes!

Master forgot his promise as soon as he came back. I don't care. Hmm… I will punish… punish Master by forbidding him to eat Liangpi for a week!

At this very moment…

Lu Ming was still staring at the suspended Original Card in front of him with a dumbstruck expression.

Buzz—

Buzz—

The Original Card was cultivating diligently.

Seemingly, Cla.s.smate Xiaobai did not need to do anything and her cultivation level would improve gradually. Although the speed was not fast, it was also very scary!

d.a.m.n it. What was this?!

Lu Ming had not come to his senses.

Could the Original Card really cultivate on its own?!

Buzz—

He summoned his own Original Card.

There was pin-drop silence.

It would only have a slight reaction when he infused energy into it. Usually, it was lying down calmly and quietly. Cultivating on its own, that did not exist!

Lu Ming was silent for a long time.

Was he cultivating a fake Card Creator?

Wait a minute.

Why did he partic.i.p.ate in the Lunar Shadow legacy?

To become more powerful?

Perhaps he should just cozy up to Xiaobai… Oh, although she was not that powerful now. However, if he had stayed at home, would his Original Card also know how to cultivate on its own by now?

He felt excited at the thought of it.

He actually missed out on such an important matter!

It was such a pity.

Wait a minute.

Xiaobai said he had taught her this…

Oh.

He suddenly remembered it.

When he was creating the Whirlpool Card!

Xiaobai wanted to learn!

At that time, he even laughed at this child for being foolish and green, and actually spoke to the Original Card. Hahahahahaha. Now, he discovered that the Original Card could really cultivate on its own!

Lu Ming was silent.

Could it be that he did not understand the settings of this world enough?

Nevertheless, the cultivation system in this world was very clear. It was simple and crude - from one star to nine stars. Although there were numerous vocations, every vocation had a core. One just had to cultivate and improve it continuously!

He had not heard of auto-cultivating!

Well…

The process…

Lu Ming frowned.

He pondered carefully… had mutated?

Yes.

Mutation!

He had been through it too!

However, his lightning mutation was not that much of a breakthrough compared to Xiaobai's! This was not a mutation but simply attaining wisdom!

Oo…

Lu Ming stretched out his hand and poked it.

Buzz—

It felt strange to touch.

The Original Card quivered slightly. With a quick turn, it actually hid behind Xiaobai.

"Huh?"

Xiaobai looked at the Original Card, seemingly listening to something. She then said embarra.s.singly, "The Original Card said that it was just born… So, don't touch that kind of place…"

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. It could even communicate?

Therefore…

This guy… had a consciousness?

Lu Ming was taken aback.

That was right!

This was not merely a question of whether it could cultivate on its own. Xiaobai's Original Card had actually developed a mind of its own.

This was very scary.

Lu Ming's gaze converged.

Thoughts…

Would it backfire if they did not control it well?

Perhaps an old grandfather was residing in this Original Card? It had become possessed by a spirit or undergone some transformation? Numerous thoughts flashed across Lu Ming's mind at that instant.

If that was the case, it would be much more logical!

Some presence would restore its own powers with the help of the Original Card. For example…

Black cat!

It was just that…

A cold glint streaked across Lu Ming's eyes. Not everyone was as lazy and idle as the black cat. If this was a bad thing…

"Come over here!" Lu Ming hollered.

He grabbed the Original Card forcefully.

"Huh?"

Xiaobai's face went blank. What was wrong with master?

"Shh!" Lu Ming said softly.

Bang!

There was a surge of energy.

He forcefully grabbed the struggling Original Card and dissipated this thought. Now, he had a considerably strong mental strength and could finally control it a little.

"Xiaobai. Be good. Open your Sea of Consciousness."

Lu Ming's voice could be heard in the void.

"Okay."

Xiaobai was confused.

Right now…

Their minds were connected.

Bang!

Lu Ming's eyes were like a torch as he looked into the deepest part of Xiaobai's Sea of Consciousness.

Xiaobai's Sea of Consciousness had just been born. It was small and narrow and simply could not accommodate anything! Besides the Original Card, there was nothing else, much less other living creatures!

There was nothing…

In his Sea of Consciousness.

The black cat awakened as it could sense another aura.

"Brother cat. Is there an aura of other living creatures?"

Lu Ming's voice was low.

The black cat shook its head slightly.

"No?"

Lu Ming felt at ease then.

Just as he wanted to say something, he was whipped by the black cat's tail.

Bam!

Lu Ming was plastered to the wall on the spot.

Lu Ming was speechless.

It had borne a grudge for so long!

…

Shus.h.!.+

His consciousness returned.

Xiaobai opened her eyes dazedly. Just now, that feeling…

"It is amazing."

Her little face was flus.h.i.+ng.

When she was in a daze, she seemed to be floating upwards and flying higher and higher under Lu Ming's guidance… It was a very magical experience…

Was this consciousness?

There was actually nothing!

Lu Ming was surprised.

Initially, he thought that there was something such as the black cat. It seemed that he had been paranoid. Xiaobai's Original Card could really cultivate on its own!

It was completely unscientific!

Well… He could ask the seniors!

Lu Ming paused for a moment and then turned his bracelet. The display lighted up, showing the address list.

After the Lunar Shadow legacy, the few of them had exchanged their contact numbers. This time, he could check with the rest on whether they had experienced this before.

Lu Ming was rummaging through his address list.

Sister…

Forget it. She had gone on a mission.

Zhao Yunshan…

Just as Lu Ming clicked his name, he saw his status update — First day at the company. Sad.

Lu Ming paused for a moment.

Forget it.

He better not disturb him. Hence, he clicked the second person, Wu Hongfei. Although this lad could not make it in many areas, he was very experienced!

This was his merit!

However…

When he opened Wu Hongfei's profile, before he could dial his number, he saw a new status update — Amen.

Lu Ming was a little lost.

Wait a minute…

What did this guy do?

"Old buddy Wu."

He sent a message and the other party responded in seconds. It looked like an auto-reply message. "Praying. Please do not disturb."

Lu Ming was speechless.

Did this guy really become a pastor?!

It was extremely frightening!

Gao Tianlang?

He took a glance. The status update was - In Seclusion.

After searching through the address list, he was shocked to discover that the people of the Lunar Shadow legacy had actually shut themselves from the world due to various reasons!

Amazing!

What kind of blow did they suffer?

Forget it.

Anyway, they were Swordsman. He was already half a Swordsman now and understood some of these things. Xiaobai's situation was an unlikely occurrence…

Eh?

This guy is available!

Legacy Card found the only salted fish from the legacy who did not shut himself out — That five-star Card Creator!

"Well…. Sorry to disturb you. Can a Card Creator's Original Card cultivate on its own?"

Lu Ming sent the message.

"No!"

The other side responded with a firm answer.

"Okay, thanks."

Lu Ming realized something.

True enough.

It seemed that he had been thinking too much.

However…

He did not know that, somewhere, the five-star Card Creator was s.h.i.+vering. Could Lu Ming have inherited some special self-cultivation legacy?

It was horrifying!

Invisible Restriction…

Card creation…

He had fallen behind by too much!

This would not do!

He could not continue to waste his life.

At the thought of this…

He suddenly stood up.

"Old Wu, help me arrange a gym card. Yes… those that allow me to swim… the kind without people peeing in the water."

"Huh?"

"Also, help me arrange a mental strength training cla.s.s."

"Huh?"

"If there are training for vocational core tempering, you can help me look for that too."

"Huh?"

His companion was dumbstruck.

Were these things that a Card Creator should learn?

It would be a waste of time!

Do you want to remain at five-star forever?!

"I have fallen behind by too much… This time, I have to start anew and become an all-rounder Card Creator like him! My future… should not be restricted to this!"

The five-star Card Creator had a resolute look in his eyes.

What was the use of his standing?

Hehe.

Elder Xu and Elder Yu… Weren't they also beaten like a dog by Lu Yan? Those four-star, five-star and six-stars… Didn't Lu Ming also torture them like dogs?

The Lunar Shadow legacy had almost become a platform to display the prowess of this sister-brother pair!

He felt indignant!

Although…

He was merely an a.s.sistant in the legacy!

He was not anxious to increase his level for the time being. He wanted to become a powerful five-star Card Creator! At the very least, he had to ensure that no one could contend with him at the five-star level!

"I'm going to bathe! Let's go to the gym together later."

The five-star Card Creator was extremely motivated.

Dumbstruck, his companion glanced at the five-star Card Creator who was suddenly in high spirits… What was wrong with this guy? What was with this ridiculous fighting spirit?

And…

Are you working hard at the wrong things?

Physical fitness?

Mental strength?

Tempering?

What did these things have to do with a Card Creator?!

"What is wrong with this guy?"

His companion watched him as he left to bathe, and noticed his bracelet which was unlocked. He then swiped it and saw the latest update from his circle of friends.

——

This legacy was a delightful experience. (〃'▽'〃)

Everyone was great!

Although we encountered dangers, everyone worked hard to resolve them~

Although brother did not attain the legacy, he had a great harvest. He is in seclusion and working towards becoming six-star. Formidable! Everyone had a great harvest from this legacy~

Also! Also!

Although one guy is very bad, in order to save me, he almost…

Suddenly, I don't hate him that much anymore!

Those people always make fun of both of us. Annoying! (o゚▽゚)o

We are really just friends!

Anyway.

I hope that everyone will work hard! ( ̄▽̄)~*

——

The undersigned was a lady called Gao Xiaoqing.

"This is…"

His companion was in deep thoughts.

From these few words coupled with his friend's behavior, he had already conjured an astounding and campy drama in his mind… This guy became so motivated because he had been dealt with some blow?

However, he did not seem to be striving in the right direction…

If he were to cultivate in this way, most likely he would be a five-star Card Creator forever!

Should he remind him?

Forget it.

Most probably, he would not persist for long.

His companion calmed down soon after. He could take it as a good experience in romantic affairs.

After all…

He had to have at least one relations.h.i.+p?

The Card Creator profession was more unique. It was too homebody and too idle…

It was already not bad that this five-star lad could encounter his first love… I am also a five-star and I have not found any partner yet?

Where is my first love?

Oh.

Right.

His companion thought of something.

Yesterday, a lady invited him to the library to create cards late at night. Should he go?

The library was a subsidized facility of the school. It only cost ten yuan a day. This lady wanted to meet him there secretly late at night. Was it because she wanted to save on these ten yuan?

She actually wanted to take advantage of such a petty gain. It was so obvious that she had a poor character!

Forget it.

He would create the cards by himself.

Hence…

Shus.h.!.+ Sounds of card creation could be heard coming from the dormitory…

…

Somewhere.

By the seaside.

A dark ma.s.s of bulls was pacing back and forth.

"What's wrong with these bulls?"

"I don't know."

"They've appeared here for a long time."

"Don't go near them. I can sense a horrifying aura!"

"Me too!"

"Hurry, let's go!"

…

One by one, the cultivators who pa.s.sed by left.

That horrifying number of bulls and the mysterious and vast aura were enough to send chills all over their bodies. This was not something that they could provoke!

At this moment…

In the herds of bulls.

A figure was riding on one of the bulls and glancing at the middle of the sea with a deep and unfathomable gaze.

Moo—

The bull beneath him shrieked.

This was because he had been in this position for a long time…

It was very tiring.

"Q-quiet."

He patted the bull beneath him.

Over there…

He was staring at the sea.

His mind worked but it was still very, very slow… and very tiring. It would consume too much energy each time. Therefore, he did not like to think. Most of the time, he would act according to his instincts… However, he was forced to think because of the current situation…

However…

After pondering for a long time, his mind was still blank…

He could not figure it out.

After a long time…

That familiar aura disappeared…

"C-hanged."

He shook his head in confusion and suddenly felt excited. "G-go, this way…"

Bang!

The astronomical number of bulls left.

…

After a long time…

Two figures quietly appeared at the spot where they had been.

Terrifying herds of bulls and a scary presence had appeared. As the native forces here, of course, they had to observe in secrecy. Fortunately, these guys finally left.

"They remained here for a long time, right? Yet, they went back just like that? What were they thinking?"

"Don't know. But I have a guess."

"What?"

"Tell me, they have been staring at the sea, refusing to leave. Could it be because he has to go into the sea for some reason?"

"No way. He would have gone ahead if that's the case."

"No. You've overlooked a very important factor…"

"What?"

"They… may not know how to swim."
