Chapter 64: Sword Plunge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day.
Lu Ming had just opened his shop for business when Zhang Wei came knocking on his door.
"Xiaolu.
Have you heard of a bull that can drop from the sky?" Zhang Wei asked.
Lu Ming was speechless.
"I knew it." Zhang Wei sighed.
Looking at Lu Ming's 'concerned and blank' stares, he knew that it was a wasted effort. However, he had to pose the question according to the rules.
"Is it because of the old town?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
He had met Zhang Wei a few times and they were familiar with each other.
"Discerning ones will know that the Sharks Sect offended a strong and powerful cultivator… Tell me, what can we find out by carrying out investigations in the city?
We are law enforcers from a fifth or sixth-tier city…
Can we even intervene?
This is the same situation as the robbery that happened in the street last time…
We are not qualified to intervene!
If we encounter the culprit, we may have already lost our lives.
Now, the people from the task force came and insisted that we check on people who had cast similar bull-like abilities before. A few students said that you have used it before. Hence, I came here to take a look.
Tell me, aren't they looking for trouble?
There are at least eighty to a hundred people in Qing Ming City with such abilities. The most powerful ones are at most two-star cultivators. What can we find out from the investigations?
It's purely a waste of the police's resources!"
Zhang Wei poured out his grievances.
"Okay."
Lu Ming did not seem to mind.
This matter…
No one would believe it even if he were to admit it!
First, people inadvertently perceived Card Creator as an auxiliary vocation. Second, Lu Ming was too weak. He was so weak that no one would suspect him!
"You don't have to worry."
Zhang Wei glanced at Lu Ming. "Actually, I'm just going through the motions. You can just say a few words. Furthermore, our side doesn't want to investigate this matter at all."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
"Hey. Do you know how many people we caught yesterday?"
Zhang Wei looked smug.
They solved more than ten cases at once. There were also a number of cases that they were collecting evidence for. They were simply elated! The collapse of the old town this time basically destroyed the thieves' den!
There was also the project of the Urban House Demolition Department.
Haha, they could finally commence the project that had been approved ten years ago.
This was a good thing!
As for the main culprit…
Would you be able to beat him in a fight if you were to find him?
"Are you able to explain this to your higher-ups like that?"
Lu Ming was amused.
"Who cares," Zhang Wei sneered coldly. "The guys from the task force are so full of themselves. Each of them is like a tyrant. They instructed us to find the murderer."
Obviously…
Law enforcers like them in small cities had their own way of surviving.
They were not dumb and would not do certain things! This was because if the enemy was truly a powerful figure who demolished the old town in one strike, who would dare to look for them directly?
They would be courting death!
If innocent commoners had been harmed or killed, someone might be willing to take the risk and investigate… However, a group of bad guys had 'turned cold' now. Did they expect the law enforcers to seek justice for them?
Hehe.
Wishful thinking!
What else could Lu Ming say?
Look, there were a lot of hidden goings-on.
However, before he could speak much, Zhang Wei received a call and left in a hurry. He said that this matter had come to a close.
Yes.
It had come to a close.
Someone announced that he would take responsibility for this matter!
A certain powerful cultivator announced that he would take responsibility for the 'Old Town Demolition Case' and expressed that he would destroy whoever dared to kidnap, sell and force girls!
Due to this matter, that cultivator received a nickname of 'Bull Demon King'.
He was in so much limelight.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Someone took responsibility just like that?
It was as if this was a terrorist attack…
However, he did not believe that anyone would pay attention to this matter without any reason. Unless…
Lu Ming's heart stirred slightly.
He checked the details about this cultivator. He actually came from the same place as w.a.n.g Xuan.
Hehe.
Lu Ming had a realization.
"It seems that you're not that bad."
Lu Ming had a realization.
Although w.a.n.g Xuan almost made a mistake and unintentionally done something wrong, ultimately, he did not commit any crime due to Lu Ming's presence!
He even turned over a new leaf!
Well…
Considering this, I am the most amazing one.
Look, even someone like w.a.n.g Xuan, who had the potential to become a bad guy, had been 'corrected' by him!
Lu Ming felt grateful and glad.
At this moment.
The matter of the old town had come to a close.
In the afternoon.
The multi-functional card machine had arrived.
This was the most common device for a Card Creator. It had simple testing and evaluation functions. It could help you understand the cards that you created.
The price was a hundred thousand yuan.
"Xiaobai?"
Little Lu Ming instinctively turned his gaze to the young lady.
Xiaobai looked like she was in a difficult position. "My dad is not picking up my calls."
"What a lousy dad!"
Lu Ming was enraged.
Scoundrel!
He was not even picking up his daughter's calls!
Was he the biological father?
"It's okay."
Lu Ming waved his hands widely and ruffled the young lady's hair. "I will buy it for you if your dad doesn't! I will pay out of my own pocket for this machine."
"Okay."
Xiaobai studied the machine happily.
Well…
She inserted one Demolition Card inside.
Dee—
There was no certification.
The machine did not find the a.s.sociated information but this did not stop it from scanning the card. Rays of lights surged as it a.s.sessed and a.n.a.lyzed this card.
Dee—
It was scanning the algorithm…
Dee—
The scanning was complete.
Energy Level Rating: Two-star
Possible Function Contained: Powerful Collision Impact
"It's good."
Lu Ming was surprised.
It was a professional certification device indeed.
It could actually a.s.sess the rough scope and effect of the Demolition Card, a card that no one had certified before.
What about this card…
He inserted the four-star card of w.a.n.g Xuan.
Dee—
It had already found the a.s.sociated data and was a.n.a.lyzing it…
Card Name: Sword Plunge
Card Type: Attack Card
Card Rating: Four Stars
Card Effect: Sealed the Swordsman technique 'Sword Plunge'
"Swordsman!!"
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
"Swordsman!!"
Xiaobai's eyes widened even more.
The two of them were staring at each other, their eyes fixated on that small card.
There was no other reason.
The Swordsman Card was very rare!
Different from vocations such as Energy Warrior, Summoner, Energy Warrior, the unique nature of Swordsmen made it a vocation with a strong attacking ability!
Those abilities were very difficult to seal!
First, the energy of a low-level Swordsman could not be released.
They infused the energy into a sword and use the sword as a carrier to fight enemies and train and improve themselves in the process.
How could one seal it?
You could not possibly seal someone's sword, right?!
If you really want to use the Original Card on others, that would be stealing and not sealing…
Hence, in order to seal the Swordsman techniques, one could only seal the pure Sword Aura that did not need any sword to act as a carrier, and was purely stimulated by energy!
Or…
The technique of stimulating pure Sword Aura!
However, the Sword Aura…
How should he say it?
Its attacking nature was too domineering!
In order to completely seal a ray of Sword Aura, one had to ensure that the Original Card was powerful enough. Its energy had to be exceedingly large before the sealing could succeed!
Otherwise…
The Original Card might be torn apart by the Sword Aura!
Hence, Swordsman Cards were very rare in the market. The lowest level was three-star ones and they were extremely pricey. The price of the design plan of a Swordsman Card was sky-high and even pricier!
This was also the reason that Lu Ming did not buy the card despite lots of nagging from Miss Xiaobai.
He was poor!
Now, such a perfect Swordsman Card appeared before the two of them.
Four-star Card!
There was no encryption!
At the moment.
Inside this small shop, there was a frightening pin-drop silence. There were only sounds of rapid breathing from an adult and a young kid.
