Chapter 177: Did You Have Some Misunderstandings About Card Creators?
In Qing Ming City.
Lu Ming was delighted at the latest notice from the School Championship Competition. The remaining rounds would be carried out together. That meant that he only needed one day to reach the top one hundred and to end the match!
“It seems that the change in the School Championship Competition is timely.”
Lu Ming felt very satisfied.
If he could win the match and be among the top one hundred soon, he would be able to influence the higher-ups about closing down the school…
This was a good deal.
Oh.
He would simply have some fun a few days later in the match.
He had a good time when he fooled around in the match during this period of time. Anyway, he only needed to stock up twenty cards and use them in the match. Under normal circumstances, he could defeat his opponents directly…
The contest lasted even shorter than his trip to the bathroom.
He was thrilled at ending it right away!
Of course.
All this did not matter.
The competition was only a small part of his life.
The most important thing was that after these days of cultivation, he could feel the cultivation effects of the Moonlight Card. After these few days, he had increased by six hundred points!
His energy had reached three thousand points!
It was very fast.
His cultivation speed had returned to the speed before his energy was tempered.
Well…
Continue!
After another two days of cultivation, his energy would increase to another level. Lu Ming would participate in the contest and if everything went smoothly, it would end in the afternoon.
…
At the Workers’ Sports Complex.
The tournament venue.
Under the watchful gazes of countless people, Lu Ming was met with his first opponent. This was a team that was made up of three-star peak. They were very powerful.
Lu Ming touched his card bag.
Oh.
He still had some cards.
Therefore, he skillfully threw out twenty cards.
The venue was covered with Sword Auras!
The dense Sword Auras enshrouded the enemies. However, at this time, a huge Energy Shield suddenly appeared, blocking those people.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Clear and crisp cracking sounds could be heard.
The Sword Auras that were always successful were being blocked.
Eh?
Lu Ming was surprised.
During the previous competitions, even the cultivators who majored in defense, faced with the attack of this scale, they could only intercept seven or eight Sword Auras…
Then…
They would be defeated.
After all, they were only at the three-star level!
However, right now his opponents were able to block his attacks.
Lu Ming raised his head slightly, and he took a close look at his opponents for the first time.
Buzz—
The Energy Shield shone brightly.
The cultivator who was responsible for defense had a card in his hands.
A Card Creator?
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
“Hello.”
The three-star Card Creator smiled faintly. “A Card Creator has weaker physical fitness. I am very timid and therefore I major in Defense Cards!”
“You can call me a Defense Card Creator.”
Defense Card Creator…
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
Interesting.
This must be what they described as the auxiliary effect of the Card Creator in the team.
Oh.
Right.
The vocation characteristics of the Card Creator was that they could have the signature abilities of other vocations. With the cooperation of the other teammates, they could create an amazing effect!
For example…
The Energy Shield right now.
This type of Energy Shield was in fact a huge energy barrier.
Although the defense range was large, it also had a large consumption. The advantage was that it could absorb others’ energy to use as a defense. It was indeed amazing.
The more the energy, the stronger the defense!
Autumn Water Sword Aura?
It was impossible to penetrate it!
“There isn’t any ability that can penetrate it.”
The Defense Card Creator smiled. “Even if it is a surmounting Sword Aura, it won’t work.”
Buzz—
The Energy Shield shimmered.
The Sharpshooter in the team had aimed at Lu Ming and was ready to attack. Lu Ming who no longer had the Autumn Water Sword Aura had nothing to compete with them.
At this very moment…
The audience got excited.
Who would have thought that Lu Ming who had been on a winning streak would be almost defeated in the first game.
The scene where the Sword Auras enveloped the venue, though amazing, turned out to be boring after a long time. It was rare for the opponent to be able to withstand the attack!
“Interesting.”
One judge was interested.
They had estimated the number of cards that Lu Ming had, but they did not expect that there would be a surprise as soon as the contest began.
Well…
They were not fools.
Although Lu Ming seemed as if he was invincible, he only used the Sword Auras to envelope the opponents in all the matches. If one was serious at defeating him, one would still be able to counterattack.
Of course.
It might be difficult for others as their abilities were limited. There was not enough time to learn another skill…
But it was a different story for the Card Creator.
He could even purchase Defense Cards at the association to counterattack!
For example—
This Defense Card Creator!
The cards that he used were three-star ultimate normal cards and had average effects. It might have a lot of limitations, but in the case where they were attacked from the front…
It was perfect!
It was able to subdue Autumn Water Sword Aura!
“Come on.”
The Defense Card Creator was calm.
This battle…
They would be the winner.
Buzz—
Lights flashed.
The Defense Card Creator threw another card into the air. Many streaks of translucent light connected the five of them…
Shush!
He released a Charging Card.
Energy dissipated and it covered the entire team through the lights that connected them. The few of them who had consumed a lot of energy previously had their energy restored.
Lu Ming was amazed.
That was amazing!
He was a Card Creator and he had done the jobs of others!
From defense to energy recovery, if Lu Ming was correct, this guy must have a Treatment Card. That was to say, he had covered almost all the auxiliary vocations.
That was amazing!
Could this be the real meaning of the Card Creator?
Something was not right!
If one learned so many miscellaneous abilities, one would not have time to cultivate. Which among all the abilities did one specialized in?
Nothing!
He did not specialize in any of the abilities!
No.
This was not right.
This was not the Card Creator that he wanted to be.
What he did not know was that the Card Creator from the opposing team was just as amazed.
It was true.
He knew how domineering Lu Ming was and knew that Lu Ming could cast many Swordsman Cards in the contest. But as a Card Creator, his focus was on…
Charging Cards!
Yes.
Why would Lu Ming have so many Charging Cards?!
According to the rules of the contest, the cards had to belong to the Card Creator, and that included the Charging Card and the Energy Card!
If it was during the pre-selection, since there was a lot of time, it was understandable that one had the time to create the cards. But the contest was shortened to one day…
Why did he have so much energy?
Endless amount of energy!
How could this be possible?!
Could it be that he stole from someone’s ore vein?!
Did the limit in time have any impact on him?
Of course.
But the impact was minimal.
He did not have many cards that he could use. Under reasonable circumstances, a Card Creator would have enough time to create the cards that he needed for the contest within a day!
If he had to create more cards…
He would not have enough energy!
No one had an endless amount of energy like Lu Ming!
It was too strange!
Also…
The way Lu Ming fought in the battle was very terrifying as well!
He was able to use a stack of cards!
Wait a minute.
Could it be that the advantage of the Card Creator as a vocation was not that it could comprise all the vocations? The combination of the few vocational abilities that did not usually exist together…
To form a brand new effect!
For example—
He cast the ‘Light’ + ‘Energy Recovery’ just now. There were the abilities of two different vocations. Under normal circumstances, the two vocations must be present to be able to do that!
However, he had done it by himself!
Besides these…
He could combine the abilities of two, three, four vocations… the combination of abilities was the essence of a Card Creator!
One man was tantamount to an army!
And Lu Ming…
He simply fought like a Swordsman.
If that was the case, he should be a Swordsman back then!
He raised his head.
Lu Ming also looked up right then and met his gaze. He paused slightly before he blurted out. “Did you have some misunderstandings about what it means to be a Card Creator?”
However…
He had just said that when the venue turned silent.
The other Card Creator asked the exact same question.
Hence…
The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.
The two of them turned silent.
Oh.
It seemed that they had different understandings of what a Card Creator should be. Since that was the case, a fight was inevitable!
“Get ready to attack!”
The Defense Card Creator was eager to fight.
He wanted Lu Ming to know that even if one did not have lots of money and was an ordinary Card Creator, one could still use combinations of abilities to win!
“Humph.”
Lu Ming squinted.
Different understandings…
Let’s have a good fight!
However, brother, did you forget about something…
Right then.
In the corner of the huge arena, there were several spectators who were seriously watching the game not far away.
“Do you think Lu Ming can break the defense?” Xia Yu said in a low voice.
“I don’t know.”
Zhang Xiaopang ate the melon seeds while he lazed around. “I choose to trust Brother Lu unconditionally.”
“Good-for-nothing.”
Everyone looked at him contemptuously.
Chang Liang felt somewhat embarrassed.
This was because other than Zhang Xiaopang, all of them were lazing around…
Due to the rules of the game, they had to fight in the contest. However, Lu Ming did not need them, so it gradually ended up being in this strange situation…
After all, Lu Ming could end the battle in three seconds.
Therefore, the few of them had become spectators who had no need to pay for the entry tickets but could sit at the VIP seats.
“Let me ask you a question… If Lu Ming needs someone to help him, who do you think he would ask?” Liu Yuan asked weakly.
“It should be Xia Yu.”
All of them made the same guess.
Xia Yu’s vocation could be of perfect assistance to Lu Ming and it would not affect him…
At this very moment…
A familiar voice sounded. “Chang Liang, it’s time to strike.”
Eh?
Everyone was shocked.
That was Lu Ming’s voice!
“Huh? Sure!”
Chang Liang reacted immediately and aimed at the people at a distance. The few people around him muttered some curses and covered their eyes right away…
Bang!
A glaring light burst.
Lu Ming released the five cards in his hands and one could vaguely see the Sword Auras condensing…
Then…
They could not see anything.
“Defend!” the Card Creator roared.
He remembered the position where Lu Ming was!
Although this sudden glaring light came as a surprise to them, it was only for a short moment. As long as they blocked this wave of attack…
Bang!
There was a loud sound!
That was the sound where the Sword Aura landed on the barrier.
Shush!
Everyone could finally see clearly.
The person who cast the light was too weak, therefore although they were seemingly blinded, they could see the next instant.
“Get ready…”
The Defense Card Creator was excited.
Now that they had blocked the attacks, they could counterattack…
However…
When he turned around to check, he was dumbstruck at the sight that he saw. He did not know since when his four teammates had fall to the ground…
All of them had fainted!
The Defense Card Creator was bewildered.
W-what had just happened?
He looked at the huge shield barrier in front of him and at Lu Ming and his teammates who were at the far end. What happened to his teammates?
While he was still doubtful…
Whoosh!
There was a sound from the back.
He turned back abruptly and a strange Sword Aura formed an arc and broke through the sky…
Crash!
There was a deafening sound.
He felt immense pain all over.
“Look.
There’s a good thing about specialization…”
Lu Ming’s voice could be heard.
The Defense Card Creator was speechless.
Damn!
What had this to do with specialization? What did this have to do with being a Card Creator?
Who were you trying to fool?!
You were obviously a Swordsman?!
Bang!
He dropped to the ground.
He could vaguely see something.
The Sword Aura curved like a Full Moon.
…
At this moment…
The audience was silent.
Obviously…
No one thought that Lu Ming’s companion would make an unexpected strike and the ability was a release of strange lights… It was too scary!
And…
The final Sword Aura that Lu Ming used…
What was that?
Why did it turn?!
Some of the more powerful cultivators were not affected by the lights. They could see everything clearly. The Sword Aura made a big turn and defeated the enemies from behind…
It might not be strong enough.
However, when one’s sight was lost and one’s focus was on the Energy Shield…
It was sufficient!
Hence…
The college at the crossroad won the fifth contest.
“Is that a full moon?”
The judging panel was silent.
They knew that Lu Ming had participated in the Lunar Shadow legacy and knew that the Swordsmen reaped benefits from it. But they did not expect that Lu Ming would master the abilities of Lunar Shadow!
“This child… It is a pity that he did not learn to be a Swordsman.”
“It’s okay. He knew enough about swords.”
“You’re right.”
The judges were impressed.
It did not make a difference if he learned it or not.
This child learned to be a Card Creator and in the end, he turned the Card Creator into a Swordsman!
He had indeed… learnt everything about swords!
