Somewhere.

A person looked into the distance. “I heard… a powerful spirit body appeared?”

“Yes.”

The old man beside him smiled.

“It seems that… The time is coming,” the man muttered.

The old man smiled.

Yes, they had been waiting a long time.

At this very moment…

Zi Yang Combat College.

Yan Suqi was in awe.

He had a serious look on his face upon receiving the sacred third stage guideline of a Sword Card Master. He looked at the guidelines in awe and reverence. However, he looked dumbstruck the moment he read the third stage…

“The Birth of the Card spirit: From entry-level to expert”—Volume One.

1. Catch a spirit body.

2. Shove it into an Original Card.

End!

Huh???

Yan Suqi was dumbstruck.

T-this… What was this?

He looked further down, The Birth of the Card spirit: From entry-level to expert”—Volume Two.

Content: Recite to the Original Card, ‘Original Card, Original Card, you have grown up. You have to learn to cultivate by yourself.' There is a possibility that there will be a newly born consciousness in the Original Card.

End!

Huh???

Yan Suqi was in a daze.

T-this… What was this?

He might be young, but he was no fool!

He had not heard of card spirits, but he had heard of the sword spirit. According to legends, one needed to have a very powerful Sword Embryo in order for it to have a consciousness!

How was it possible to catch a spirit body and stuff it in?

Also…

The recitation ‘Original Card, Original Card, you have grown up…'

Was this a pack of lies?!

In fact…

After completing the previous two stages of learning, he had unwavering trust in the Sword Card Master. However, right now for the first time, he was doubtful.

Could it be possible that Lu Ming was lying to him?

Forget it.

He would give it a try.

Hence…

Yan Suqi summoned the Original Card and recited to the Original Card in a serious tone. “Original Card, Original Card, you have already grown up. You must learn to cultivate by yourself…”

Qing Ming City.

The Card Creators a.s.sociation.

As the superior of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation, as well as the superior of Lu Ming who always got into trouble, Zhang Yang always paid attention to the information of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Well…

Zhang Yang looked seriously at the third stage guidelines that Lu Ming wrote and he was pleased.

Card spirit…

Hahahaha!

This was no different from stuffing an elephant into a fridge!?

Tsk tsk…

He liked it that Lu Ming talked about nonsense in a serious manner!

In that case, many people would give up on the Sword Card Master vocation.

And so…

They would choose the second-best vocation which was the Card Creator.

Although the Combat Card Creator was weaker, it was still promising! Look, one did not have to be the scapegoat and one could increase the popularity of the Card Creators a.s.sociation!

He was a good kid…

Zhang Yang felt gratified.

At this very moment…

At the shop.

There was a serious look on Lu Ming's face as he submitted the third stage guidelines of the Sword Card Master.

He had decided that in the future, the card spirit would be the standard configuration of a Sword Card Master!

This would not only make the average person give up this vocation but also to show the mightiness of the Sword Card Master. He felt mighty at the thought of it.

Well…

It was perfect.

What happened at the school had come to an end. Apart from the card spirit, Lu Ming had gained magical experience from it.

For example—

The virtual figures summoned by the bar spirit!

This guy seemed to be a type of soul body.

It could be seen as summoning the soul.

This ability made it possible to summon the dead…

The knight…

The young lady…

They were summoned by the bar spirit.

Of course.

Those presences, which could not be summoned as the ground was too solid, must be weaker in strength. Its goal was to beat him in numbers…

But none of them appeared!

Since there were soul bodies, why would they be stuck?

He had the feeling that the summoning of the bar spirit belonged to the same series as his Burial Mound Warrior summon series. It would do him good to have a deeper understanding of it.

Otherwise, what if the Burial Mound Warrior was stuck in the future…

It would be terrible.

Hence…

Lu Ming tested the Burial Mound Warrior at different locations.

There was no problem on the streets.

There was no problem in the shop.

There was no problem on a steel plate.

The a.s.sociation…

Forget it.

He would go to other places.

Lu Ming looked at the newly-renovated Card Creators a.s.sociation. He did not dare to go in. The testing area of the a.s.sociation had traumatized him.

Hence…

He did the testing somewhere in the wild.

In the end…

It was perfect!

The Burial Mound Warrior could be summoned in all occasions!

Therefore…

The Burial Mound Warrior was unlike those things.

Well…

Why was that?

Why would those that were summoned by the bar spirit come out from the ground? Why couldn't they condense and appear? What was the mysterious spirit body?!

He had too many doubts.

Or perhaps…

It was related to the secret that the princ.i.p.al mentioned?

Well…

He would check with the princ.i.p.al.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and sent him a text message.

“Old Jiang, what is the secret behind the school?”

No reply.

“Old Jiang, I bought five-star materials, can you reimburse them?”

No reply.

“Old Jiang, Xiaobai will take a shower with me at night.”

No reply.

“Old Jiang, Xiaobai threw up this morning.”

There was no reply.

A—alright.

Lu Ming was very disappointed.

The content of the messages had become more and more clueless. Since Old Jiang ignored him, he must be in retreat…

At this moment…

He could only study on his own.

To be honest, Lu Ming was given a shock by the bar spirit.

Qing Ming City…

Seemed to be different.

Previously, the cultivators chased after a koi all over Qing Ming City. As for the bar spirit and the mysterious spirit body, if not for Brother Cat, the five-star cultivators would be all over the place as well!

And there seemed to be many people like Zhou Yang!

This world…

It was never as safe as he had imagined.

As for Brother Cat…

Lu Ming took a closer look.

Brother Cat helped him to condense the card spirit and it was very weak right now…

It was in the midst of recovery.

If he ran across enemies right now?

Death would await him.

“This won't do…” Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Cloud shuttle?

It was ineffective!

The strongest enemy that Lu Ming had tried the cloud shuttle on was a five-star beast, and he could only move it within a short distance. If it was five-star and above, it might be useless. Moreover, the cloud shuttle would bring the enemy away. In case of a full range battle or all types of dangerous terrains and arrays, there was no other way but to await death!

Therefore…

To survive, he must have a real Escape Card!

Then—

He must advance again!

Lu Ming's eyes were s.h.i.+ning.

Three-star ordinary Cloud Shuttle Card, escaping from the enemies in dangerous situations.

Three-star top-notch Cloud Shuttle Card, taking the enemy away.

Well…

What about four-star?!

What would seven three-star Cloud Shuttle Cards, which was the integration and advancement of “Escaping Enemy” to a four-star, turn into?!

He was looking forward to it.

Shus.h.!.+

Shus.h.!.+

Lu Ming began to create the cards.

Very soon…

Seven cards were successfully created.

Whoos.h.!.+

Lu Ming summoned the Original Card.

The Original Card looked warily at Lu Ming. What was he up to?!

“Hehe.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

Shus.h.!.+

One three-star Cloud Shuttle Card, sealed!

Two three-star Cloud Shuttle Cards, sealed!

Very soon…

He had sealed seven cards.

“It's full! It's full!”

The Original Card cried in terror.

He sensed the so-called Cloud Shuttle Card. In the world of the Original Card, the cloud shuttle condensed and appeared. It was very long…

It could not stand it!

It had started to cultivate by itself, why did Lu Ming still bully it?

Scoundrels!

If he dared to use the eighth card…

Believe it or not…

It would self-rupture on the spot!

Lu Ming took a glance.

There wasn't any eighth card!

He was merely integrating the cards. Why was it being so dramatic?

Buzz—

The card was transforming!

A four-star Cloud Shuttle Card was born!

He took a look. The front of the card had a metallic texture. But the lines on the back were complicated and beyond understanding…

Even if he had the Moonlight Card as his learning basis, he could only understand 10% of the lines!

The difficulty level was very high!

True enough.

Lu Ming realized something in his heart.

The only four-star cards that he could master were the Sword Plunge and Moonlight Card!

Sword Plunge…

It might be an ordinary four-star card, but as one of the top-notch four-star cards, he spent a large amount of time before he was able to gradually learn it!

But, look at the outcome!

The overlapped lines were less than 10%!

Four-star…

How many extended lines were there in the four-star stage?!

It was horrifying!

It seemed that…

It was almost impossible to fully grasp all the four-star lines. If this was so for him, what about ordinary people? When would they have the time and energy to learn?!

However…

At the thought of their ages and their hairline…

Lu Ming suddenly understood.

“It's not easy in any industry.”

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.

Hence…

He labeled the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card as a card to be studied—research progress 10%!

Well…

This was the only card to be studied.

“I should create some Burial Mound Cards as well.”

Lu Ming thought about it.

It would not be long before he received the rewards for the five-star beast. By then, he would make a trip to the Card Creators a.s.sociation and have an in-depth discussion with the veterans…

It was necessary for him to prepare the questions that he had in mind.

After all…

The veterans should be at the four-star stage. Everyone had different methods. It would be more effective in his research if he had more discussions with the veterans!

It was feasible!

Burial Mound Card…

Lu Ming paused for a moment.

The Burial Mound Card had a different significance to him. The effect of the card was magical. It could summon any bulls or similar beasts in the vicinity…

Regardless of the level!

Regardless of friends or foes!

It was normal if the summoned beasts killed the person who summoned them…

It was amazing.

Under some special conditions, it would have an amazing effect. But, after all, there were too many limitations. Until now, he only used it once…

He used it on the Land of Legacy!

But in reality?

Qing Ming City?

He did not dare to use it!

Therefore…

If he wanted to continue to use this series, he had to continue to integrate the cards!

Shus.h.!.+

Shus.h.!.+

Lu Ming created the cards cautiously.

Very soon…

Seven Burial Mound Cards were completed.

Lu Ming sealed them into the Original Card and the Original Card looked at him warily. It was worried that Lu Ming would shove an eighth card inside…

Lu Ming was speechless.

Buzz—

The card surface changed.

A four-star Burial Mound Card was born!

“It's here!”

Lu Ming was full of antic.i.p.ation.

However…

He was slightly dazed when he looked at the card surface.

Indeed…

The burial mound…

He was used to seeing it.

From the ruins that he saw earlier on, to the burial mound, he had been used to seeing them. However, the scene that he saw right now was unlike what he imagined…

On the card itself was a barren land…

There was nothing more.

Where was the burial mound?

Lu Ming was a little puzzled.

Indeed…

In the past, at the very least it would indicate that it was a burial mound…

Regardless of whether it was the Demolition Card or the Burial Mound Card, ultimately there would be a burial mound flag as a sign of where the bulls should gather. However, not even the burial mound could be seen on the new card…

On the card's surface.

There was only endless barren land!

What did this mean?

Where was the burial mound?

Who had taken it away?!

Afterward…

Given the inheritance of the Burial Mound Card series, the uniqueness of the four-star top-notch card as well as the integrated card as the ultimate card, it was one level above an ordinary card.

Which meant that…

In a sense, the power of the card could be comparable to an ordinary five-star card and it was a special card…

Well…

Lu Ming put it aside decisively.

He suddenly understood that the Burial Mound Series, no, to be accurate, right from the start the Bulls Series were cards that would cause extreme destruction…

In general. since one could not defeat the enemy, they would suffer together!

Hence…

The Demolition Card caused a wide range of destruction.

The Burial Mound Card summoned all kinds of living creatures.

This card…

Well…

Looking at this card, it seemed as if the world was peaceful and calm…

Why?

The destruction was been over!

“I should keep it as a collection.”

Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.

He turned to the back of the card. As expected, the lines were very complicated.

Hence…

Lu Ming made a label on the four-star Burial Mound Card—research progress 5%!

Yes.

This card was worse.

He could only understand 5% of the lines!

“It's time to recharge.”

Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.

It had been very long since he had read a book.

One's knowledge had nothing to do with one's energy level. One had to keep learning and deriving in order to master card-creating. Otherwise, even if he reached four-star, that would only be an increase in the level!

His knowledge would still remain at whatever level that he used to be at!

Thankfully…

Now that the Original Card could cultivate by itself, Lu Ming had some time to work on his foundation.

Well…

He began to look through the books.

Lu Ming started with “Four-star Basics”.

“Master, have some water.”

Xiaobai came over with a cup of piping hot water and placed it on the table.

“Okay, you should do some reading as well.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

He drank some water before flipping to another page.

Cool~

“Alright.”

Xiaobai read her books next to him obediently.

Occasionally.

She would tilt her small head, stealing glances at Lu Ming. She seemed to be mesmerized by the handsome profile of her master, and she would blush before turning her head to the side.

In the corner.

Two Original Cards snuggled up to each other as they constantly flashed and sparkled…
